Use regular expressions instead of Lua patterns for find and replace editor commands.
Syntax files can now use regex or Lua patterns as before keeping backward compatibility for plugins.
If a non-existing file is specified with the command "core:open-file"
a new document is opened with the given filename provided the directory
already exists.
The flag new_file is set to true in the Doc instance.
The file will be actually created only when the "save" command is used.
The document will be marked with the "*" event when no changes are done
to mean that it is a new file and is not yet saved.
The function common.normalize_path now process the .. and . in the
filename. Before was not needed because system.absolute_path already
get rid of them but now we need to have the absolute path of files
that not yet exists so we cannot use system.absolute_path.
This is the way was supposed to be. All the filenames are supposed to be
stored without home encoding, i.e. with explicit paths.
Should fix issue #177 and make PR
https://github.com/franko/lite-xl/pull/174
unneeded.
It may also address issue #174 but would need further verifications.
* Only one highlighter state is kept per-document as opposed
to one per-docview
* Fixes a bug with retaining older highlighter state as a
DocView wasn't able to detect lines changing above it's viewport
* Renames `highlighter` module to more descriptive `tokenizer`
