The "end" termcode is not actually needed for our purposes. And the
suggested $PS1 has trouble with bash's "reverse find" (CTRL-r) feature,
probably because I did it wrong...
When a plugin registers a TermRequest handler there is currently no way
for the handler to know where the terminal's cursor position was when
the sequence was received. This is often useful information, e.g. for
OSC 133 sequences which are used to annotate shell prompts.
Modify the event data for the TermRequest autocommand to be a table
instead of just a string. The "sequence" field of the table contains the
sequence string and the "cursor" field contains the cursor
position when the sequence was received.
To maintain consistency between TermRequest and TermResponse (and to
future proof the latter), TermResponse's event data is also updated to
be a table with a "sequence" field.
BREAKING CHANGE: event data for TermRequest and TermResponse is now a
table
Problem:
`yx` uses "y" prefix, which shadows a builtin operator.
Solution:
Use `g=` (in the form of `g==` currently), drawing from precedent of
CTRL-= and 'tpope/vim-scriptease'.
Problem:
`termopen` has long been a superficial wrapper around `jobstart`, and
has no real purpose. Also, `vim.system` and `nvim_open_term` presumably
will replace all features of `jobstart` and `termopen`, so centralizing
the logic will help with that.
Solution:
- Introduce `eval/deprecated.c`, where all deprecated eval funcs will live.
- Introduce "term" flag of `jobstart`.
- Deprecate `termopen`.
When a terminal application running inside the terminal emulator sets
the cursor shape or blink status of the cursor, update the cursor in the
parent terminal to match.
This removes the "virtual cursor" that has been in use by the terminal
emulator since the beginning. The original rationale for using the
virtual cursor was to avoid having to support additional UI methods to
change the cursor color for other (non-TUI) UIs, instead relying on the
TermCursor and TermCursorNC highlight groups.
The TermCursor highlight group is now used in the default 'guicursor'
value, which has a new entry for Terminal mode. However, the
TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported: since terminal
windows now use the real cursor, when the window is not focused there is
no cursor displayed in the window at all, so there is nothing to
highlight. Users can still use the StatusLineTermNC highlight group to
differentiate non-focused terminal windows.
BREAKING CHANGE: The TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported.
Problem:
It has long been a convention that references to the builtin terminal UI
should mention "tui", not "term", in order to avoid ambiguity vs the
builtin `:terminal` feature. The final step was to rename term.txt;
let's that step.
Solution:
- rename term.txt => tui.txt
- rename nvim_terminal_emulator.txt => terminal.txt
- `gen_help_html.lua`: generate redirects for renamed pages.
