These commands evaluate Vim script expressions. Right now they are
limited to a highly limited subset of Vim script expressions that is
however enough for settings the 'mapleader' variable for VIM-650.
The current visual block mode implementation has several bugs:
- The GUI never displays the rightmost characters as selected (blue)
- Due to some off-by-one, commands can't act on each line's last character
- It's possible for newlines to get deleted/changed into something else
- If the '$' mode is entered, the GUI doesn't always indicate this
- It's impossible to move to an empty line (VIM-781)
This commit fixes all of those problems. The only remaining problem are
the visible secondary carets, which makes seeing the real cursor a bit
difficult. This could be fixed later if support for per-caret visibility
would be added to IntelliJ core.
The regex code has the following bugs, mostly related to lookbehind:
- Comparison of CharPointers with == is wrong, .equals should be
used instead.
- In the original C code, the behind_pos variable is declared as
'static regsave_T behind_pos;', i.e. not a pointer, and the same
for other variables of type regsave_T. So assignments to these
types of variables need to make deep copies.
Substitution commands with offset ranges like .,+2s/a/b/g previously
did not work the way they do in Vim (replace a with b on the current
line and the next two lines). This change fixes that bug.
Previously, if the editor window had been splitted, under certain
conditions some actions related to the Ex panel would cause the editor
focus to change to a different split.
The required conditions for this bug to occur:
- no docked windows (like the Project sidebar) are open
- 'View -> Navigation bar' is disabled
At least these actions triggered the bug:
- search with /
- successfully executing an Ex command
- dismissing the Ex window with Esc
- Ex commands that opened the output panel (e.g. :!)
All the deleted lines of the form
FileEditorManager.getInstance(project).openFile(vf, true);
seem to be very old, non-functional workarounds for the focus issue.
Previously strchr and istrchr didn't consider NUL chars as end-of-string
terminators. This caused problems in regexps using character classes:
a regexp like "[^a]bc" would be effectively treated as "[^abc]bc" - i.e.
some literal characters from the rest of the pattern would accidentally be
included in the character class.
The previous code threw "cannot share data context between Swing events"
throwables from DataManagerImpl$MyDataContext.getData since we used to
share DataContext objects passed to
VimShortcutKeyAction.actionPerformed() and
VimTypedActionHandler.execute() inside AnActionEvent objects with
runnables we invoked via SwingUtilities.invokeLater().
