- Vim "unix default" of 'noshowcmd' is serving few users. And it's
inconsistent.
- 'ruler' and 'belloff=all' improve the out-of-the-box experience.
- Continue to use 'noshowcmd' and 'noruler' by default in the functional
tests to keep them fast.
TODO: Add a "disable slow stuff" command or mapping to address the
use-case of a very slow terminal connection.
This ameliorates use-cases like:
:!cat foo.txt
:make
where the user is interested in the last few lines of output.
Try these shell-based ex-commands before/after this commit:
:grep -r '' *
:make
:!yes
:!grep -r '' *
:!git grep ''
:!cat foo
:!echo foo
:!while true; do date; done
:!for i in `seq 1 20000`; do echo XXXXXXXXXX $i; done
In all cases the last few lines of the command should always be shown,
regardless of where throttling was triggered.
Periodically skip :! spam. This is a "cheat" that works for all UIs and greatly
improves responsiveness when :! spams MB or GB of output:
:!yes
:!while true; do date; done
:!git grep ''
:grep -r '' *
After ~10KB of data is seen from a single :! invocation, output will be skipped
for ~1s and three dots "..." will pulse in the bottom-left. Thereafter the
behavior alternates at every:
* 10KB received
* ~1s throttled
This also avoids out-of-memory which could happen with large :! outputs.
Note: This commit does not change the behavior of execute(':!foo').
execute(':!foo') returns the string ':!foo^M', it captures *only* Vim
messages, *not* shell command output. Vim behaves the same way.
Use system('foo') for capturing shell command output.
Closes#1234

When running the tests in a contained environment, the lingering
terminal processes prevent the unmounting of the filesystems in the
contained environment.
