Textadept 12.5 beta 3

[orbitalquark]

Textadept 12.5 beta 3 is released from https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept/releases/tag/textadept_12.5_beta_3

The biggest change is the renaming of the 'ansi_c', 'dmd', and 'rstats' lexers to 'c', 'd', and 'r', respectively. Custom language-specific keys, snippets, compile/run commands, etc. will be affected. Other than that, macOS support has been greatly improved, and lots of longstanding bugs have been fixed (not all of them though).

Bugfixes:

• Inherit entire login shell environment (including $PATH) on macOS without ~/.osx_env.sh.
• Fixed regression in reset().
• Fixed quick open and find in files filters to not ignore directories like .github.
• Fixed slow-pasting of text into the terminal version.
• Fixed rectangular selections not extending beyond end-of-line when virtual space is enabled.
• Fail gracefully if terminal input cannot be read in the terminal version.
• Fixed incremental find spamming find history.
• Fixed insertion of zero-length snippets.
• Fixed inability to quit the terminal version if an initialization error occured.
• Fixed rebinding keys defined in the macOS menubar.
• Support more movement keys in the command entry on macOS.
• Fixed lack of padding in GTK list dialogs.
• Fixed inability to show the first buffer tab in the Qt version when using ui.SHOW_ALL_TABS.
• Format: added format.prefix_map for formatting paragraphs.
• LSP: fixed autocompletion lists when items have spaces in them.
• LSP: Lua language server recognizes conventional M identifier as the current module.
• LSP: lazy-load Textadept API documentation for the Lua command entry.
• LSP: do not scan Textadept's _HOME more than once.
• LSP: fixed Lua language server's Textadept _HOME detection on macOS.

Changes:

• Updated macOS icon to match Big Sur icon style.
• Updated call tip background to match default background in themes.
• Updated to Qt 6.7 on Windows, which uses Windows 11 theme widgets.
• Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation.
• Renamed 'ansi_c', 'dmd', and 'rstats' lexers to 'c', 'd', and 'r', respectively.
• Language-specific keys have changed (e.g. use keys.c and snippets.c now).
• Emit events.VIEW_BEFORE_SWITCH on view:split().
• Enable view.caret_line_visible_always, but only on the current view when Textadept has focus.
• Added select option to ui.dialogs.list().
• Use a proper label widget for the command entry label instead of a Scintilla margin.
• Increased terminal version Find & Replace history to 100 items.
• Remove duplicates from Find & Replace history.
• Added Edit > Deselect menu item and key binding.
• Format: use Homebrew's gfmt for formatting paragraphs on macOS.
• Updated to CDK 5.0-20240619.

The renaming of lexers seems to have broken something in textredux. Typing any of the lexer names (c, d, r) now results in the keychain being activated. Seems like the if clause does not activate in this case because while _lexer is true, prefix is also true thus failing the check and activating the keychain path. Textredux does some wonky stuff with key modes so I am not sure yet if this can be fixed. Is there any way to influence the prefix parameter from "outside"?

if not prefix and key._lexer then return PROPAGATE end -- typed key matches lexer name

@rgieseke I think upstream textredux is doubly broken because you are also missing this change snoopy/textredux@ab670ec

I'm not quite sure I understand your question.

prefix is either a lexer name (buffer:get_lexer(true)), nil (if no language-specific key was found), or the current key mode (keys.MODE):

textadept/core/keys.lua

Lines 197 to 202 in bcd96c8

	if not M.mode then
	status = key_command(buffer:get_lexer(true))
	if status <= PROPAGATE then status = key_command() end
	else
	status = key_command(M.mode)
	end

Is textredux redefining the language-specific key containers for a given language? (i.e. is it overwriting

textadept/core/keys.lua

Line 216 in bcd96c8

for _, name in ipairs(lexer.names()) do M[name] = {_lexer = true} end

?)

[rgieseke]

I don't think Textredux is doing anything with lexer specific keys.
What I found is that the code for c, d, 'r isn't reaching Textredux' on_char_added function, other keys work.

Okay, this should be fixed by 13228a0. Sorry about that.

Wicked, thanks for the quick fix! Works with Textredux now.
