For a variety of historical reasons, terminals pause every time you
press `Esc`. Let's get rid of that lag.
|
| |
|
|

I still don't understand the entire state space here, so I'm trying to
err on the side of improving discoverability of the `ctrl-h` escape
hatch. Without requiring too wide a window to show all hotkeys on the
menu.

Also strip out a bunch of Lua's commandline parsing.

So far I've been trying to make Teliva follow the default colorscheme of
the terminal, but that easily ends up with illegible color combinations.
New plan: always start with a light background within Teliva. People who
want a dark background will currently need to mess with C sources.
This should somewhat fix https://github.com/akkartik/teliva/issues/1.
It's still not clear whether the default should be a dark or light
background. While dark background is more common in terminals, I believe
newcomers to terminals will prefer a light background. Then again, I'm
biased since I use a light background in my terminals.

When installing using NixOS[1], the screen looks wrong. It looks like
attrset(A_NORMAL) does not undo color changes with some versions of
dependencies.

I wish I could just hide KEY_BACKSPACE and prevent myself from using it
by accident.
Then again, I'm not making this smarts available in Teliva programs
themselves. Just for the Teliva environment.

Short of syntax errors that keep us from parsing the teliva_program
table, we should now be able to recover gracefully from everything.
Yesterday I started to try to add this to load_definitions before
realizing most errors are only noticed while running `main`. But I
didn't think of recovering from the docall of `main` until this morning.

It makes me very nervous now that there's save_editor_state within
editor event loop, when the editor could be editing notes. Things are
slightly better than this morning, but this prototype still suxxors.
|

I think I've gotten rid of all the segfaults, but it's still pretty
messed up: if you hit ctrl-g and go edit some definition, it doesn't get
saved. You're just storing the edit in the note.

I'm mindful of the way abstractions can create duplicate effort:
https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/browser-ktrace-browsing
== Kartik's SAD theorem
As programs grow complex, you will be repeatedly forced to either:
- maintain some State,
- perform some computations Again,
- or Duplicate some code.
Here a small amount of duplication seems like the best alternative.
Particularly since no syscalls are involved.

I'm going to give up on hiding teliva_editor_buffer from kilo. It was
taking too much knowledge of extern function prototypes on both sides.
|
| |
|
|
| |
Also rename it appropriately.

All the spaghetti is hiding another issue: when we load editor state,
that code path currently never leads to importing the edited buffer back
into the image.
Yet another attempt at drawing the state diagram:
Wgetch -> switch_to_editor -> select_view
select_view -> load_editor_state | big_picture_view
load_editor_state -> edit_from -> editorProcessKeypress
big_picture_view -> edit_image -> edit_buffer -> resumeEdit* -> load_editor_buffer -> editorProcessKeypress
big_picture_view -> recent_changes
recent_changes -> big_picture_view | edit_buffer
The problem is that load_editor_state doesn't eventually call
load_editor_buffer the way its sibling big_picture_view does.
For starters, it's confusing that switch_to_editor calls
big_picture_view which calls other editor functions. What is 'editor'
here, anyway?
Let's rename switch_to_editor to developer_mode. So the app starts out
in user mode, and might eventually transition to developer mode.
Developer mode is a black hole; to leave it and return to user mode we
restart the entire app.
The architecture in my mind is now:
- Teliva consists of user mode and developer mode
- Developer mode consists of multiple views
- Each view, when it needs to edit something:
- initializes kilo
- loads a buffer into it
- resumes editing the buffer as necessary

My code is already at spaghetti levels. Some coping mechanisms.
===
The big problem with the Teliva approach compared to my previous Mu
project: no tests. At this point I should document the growing list of
manual tests I've been maintaining:
run a program
run a program, edit
run a program, edit, make an edit, run | edit takes effect
run a program with error
run a program, edit, make an error, run
run a program, edit, ^g to a different definition, make an edit, ^e to run again
run a program, edit, ^g to a non-existent definition
run a program, edit, ^g to a different definition, ^g to a different definition, ^e to run again
start -> big picture -> edit -> move cursor -> run -> edit | cursor preserved
start -> big picture -> edit A -> move cursor -> big picture -> edit B | cursor initialized
start -> big picture -> edit A -> move cursor -> run -> exit -> start -> big picture -> edit B | cursor initialized
start -> big picture -> edit A -> move cursor -> run -> exit -> start -> big picture -> edit B -> big picture (*)
syntax highlighting for line comments
syntax highlighting for multiline comments
(*) - fixed in this commit
===
Coarse-grained state diagram (ignoring recent_changes_view):
app -> big picture on ^e
big picture -> editor when selecting a definition
editor -> app on e
editor -> big picture on ^b
Fine-grained sequence diagram:
main -> pmain -> ... -> Wgetch -> switch_to_editor -> select_view
select_view -> load_editor_state, falling through to big_picture_view if needed
load_editor_state -> edit_from -> editorProcessKeypress
The consequence I hadn't fully internalized was the return path:
editorProcessKeypress -> edit_from -> big_picture_view
Which implies that load_editor_state fails in two ways:
- when the state doesn't exist or is not applicable or is corrupted
- when editing from the state explicitly requested the big picture view
Switching the return value semantics for load_editor_state now supports
both ways.

We still need a proper story for file system side effects. But it's not
time yet for sandboxing considerations. Soon, but not yet.

We're not using this yet.
I agonized over this decision for several weeks. Is Teliva's need to
restart with execve an utter hack or a good thing? I'm leaning towards
the latter. Constantly exercising the initial flow makes Teliva more
crash-only. We can build Steve Yegge's idea of immortality (http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/01/pinocchio-problem.html)
out of crash-only primitives, just by making reboots instantaneous. But
focusing directly on immortality tends to compromise crash-only by
exercising it more rarely.
One other issue this brings up: loading these Lua tables from disk is a
vector for arbitrary code execution. I need to fix these when I get to
sandboxing.

to always allow modifying commit messages.

They don't have any semantics yet. We just ignore them for now.
