before the behaviour of 'mouse' was inconsistent in external UI,
as some remapping logic would check has_mouse() and others don't
(no difference in TUI or vim classic). With this change, the behaviour
is consistently up to the UI decide (see ui.txt edit)
Behaviour of tui.c is unaffected by this change.
- remove redundant autocmd list
This "grouped" list is useless, it only gets in the way when searching
for event names.
- intro.txt: cleanup
- starting.txt: update, revisit
- doc: `:help bisect`
- mbyte.txt: update aliases 1656367b90. closes#11960
- options: remove 'guifontset'. Why:
- It is complicated and is used by almost no one.
- It is unlikely to be implemented by Nvim GUIs (complicated to parse,
specific to Xorg...).
add proper msg_set_pos event, delet win_scroll_over_*
make compositor click through unfocusable grids
add MsgArea attribute for the message/cmdline area, and add docs and tests
Before now, Nvim always degrades UI capabilities to the lowest-common
denominator. For example, if any connected UI has `ext_messages=false`
then `ext_messages=true` requested by any other connected UI is ignored.
Now `nvim_ui_attach()` supports `override=true`, which flips the
behavior: if any UI requests an `ext_*` UI capability then the
capability is enabled (and the legacy behavior is disabled).
Legacy UIs will be broken while a `override=true` UI is connected, but
it's useful for debugging: you can type into the TUI and observe the UI
events from another connected (UI) client. And the legacy UI will
"recover" after the `override=true` UI disconnects.
Example using pynvim:
>>> n.ui_attach(2048, 2048, rgb=True, override=True, ext_multigrid=True, ext_messages=True, ext_popupmenu=True)
>>> while True: n.next_message();
- TUI: _never_ rely on BCE for implicit clearing, only explicit commands.
- TUI: use unibi_erase_chars when possible.
- TUI: use end-exclusive ranges for invalid and cleared areas
- screen: scrolling leaves scrolled in aree undefined. This is a
conservative change, a client assuming the old semantics will still
behave correctly.
- screen: factor out vsep handling from line drawing. This is needed
anyway for the multigrid refactor.
- screen: simplifications of win_do_lines
