* Clarified meaning of indentchar setting
The description "sets the indentation character" combined with the default value of a space led me to believe that this was a way to set a preference for tabs/spaces and choose a number of spaces per indentation all at once. I've updated the description to try to make its true function clearer.
* Added note on rmtrailingws
This behavior was unexpected for me, so it's probably good to let other users know which option has precedence.
* Added details to help command
Initially I kept trying to use `help <command-name>` rather than `help commands`
* Support for highlighting all search matches (hlsearch)
hlsearch is implemented efficiently using the buffer's line array,
somewhat similarly to the syntax highlighting.
Unlike the syntax highlighter which highlights the entire file,
hlsearch searches for matches for the displayed lines only.
Matches are searched when the given line is displayed first time
or after it was modified. Otherwise the previously found matches
are used.
* Add UnhighlightSearch action
and add it to the list of actions triggered by Esc key by default.
* Add comment explaining the purpose of search map
* Add hlsearch colors to colorschemes
Mostly just copied from the corresponding original (mostly vim) colorschemes.
* Highlight matches during/after replace as well
As a side effect it also changes the last search value, i.e. affects FindNext
and FindPrevious, but it's probably fine. In vim it works the same way.
* Improve hlsearch option description
Softwrap implementation enhanced to fix various issues with scrolling,
centering, relocating etc.
The main idea is simple: work not with simple line numbers but
with (Line, Row) pairs, where Line is a line number in the buffer
and Row is a visual line (a row) number within this line.
The logic remains mostly the same, but simple arithmetic operations
on line numbers are replaced with corresponding operations on
(Line, Row) pairs.
Fixes#632, #1657
This commit introduces several improvements to the backup system.
* Backups are made every 8 seconds for buffers that have been modified
since the last backup.
* The `permbackup` option allows users to specify that backups should
be kept permanently.
* `The backupdir` option allows users to store backups in a custom
directory.
Fixes#1641Fixes#1536
Ref #1539 (removes possibility of race condition for backups)
The old notation (for example `CtrlG`) causes confusion when combined
with new notation needed for alt (`Alt-g`) due to Alt being case
sensitive. Previously both formats were supported, but the documentation
and defaults used a combination. This commit only uses the new notation
for consistency.
Ref #1470
This option is disabled by default, and when enabled causes micro
to parse `:line:col` as a location for the cursor rather than
as part of the filename.
Closes#1650Closes#1685
* Added hybrid line numbers
* Changed rulerhybrid to relativeruler, modified documentation accordingly.
* Reverted go.mod and go.sum
I don't know how they got changed but they are good now.

* Adds command "tabmove ±n", for better tab management
* Added tabmove to help:commands
* Replace uses of util.Min, util.Max with util.Clamp
Browsing code and discovered `util.Clamp`, ideal for this section of my code
* oops, missed an arg
* Typo, again
These actions reintroduce the behavior of micro where the Home key
toggles between the start of text (first) and the start of the line.
The same applies for the variant with selection. This commit also
sets these bindings as the defaults.
With the new backup option, the autosave option is no longer useful.
Since it never really worked well in the first place, it has been
removed.
Closes#1420
Some textual changes (without changing formatting) were made to table header lines.
This is a tiny and almost inconsequential change to improve readability.
Adding an S seems more intuitive here. The command you are being asked to run there completes to:
`help commands`
not `help command` as one might expect.
Although maybe help aliases might also be something to consider?
* add binding for more primitive backspace
* support selecting page up and page down
* fix matchbraceleft for braces that start on x=0
* fix multiline copy-paste indenting
let's say you have two lines like
<space><space>line1
<space><space>line2
so you start from cursor x=0 and select both lines, then paste.
we don't want any leading whitespace in this case, because the
cursor is already at x=0 and the selection already includes
whitespace.
this behavior, while slightly less obvious, allows for observing what brace you
just closed. as you write closing braces, the brace you closed gets highlighted
The -l flag to the replace command means "literal" and will treat
the search term literally instead of as a regular expression.
The command bar also now supports expanding environment variables
and running expressions through the shell and using the result
in the command.
The option is `scrollbar` and is off by default. The scroll bar is
not interactive (you can't click and drag it) but this will likely
be fixed in the future.
Ref #869
When savehistory is enabled, micro will save your command history across
sessions. This includes command-mode, shell-mode, open, jump-to-line...
Anything that uses up-arrow for history in the infobar.
This option is on by default.
Closes#874
Use the `keymenu` option (default `off`) to enable. ToggleKeyMenu is
also bound to `Alt-g` and this info is now displayed in the status line.
Closes#829
Set the `fastdirty` option flag to off if you really want accurate
reporting on whether the buffer is modified. This is more resource
intensive but it can be useful for people who don't mind.
Closes#787Closes#467
Dos and Unix line endings are now both supported (previously on unix
line endings were supported) and can be accessed via the `fileformat`
option. The file format will be automatically detected and displayed in
the statusline but can be overriden.
Possible values for the `fileformat` option are `dos` and `unix`.
Closes#443Closes#755
This option makes micro treat spaces at the beginning of lines as if
they are tabs. This option only does anything if tabstospaces is already
on. E.g. micro will move over 4 spaces at once when at the start of a
line.
Closes#616
