Add `matchbraceleft` option to allow disabling the default behavior
matching not just the brace under cursor but also the brace to the left
of it (which is arguably convenient, but also ambiguous and
non-intuitive). With `matchbraceleft` disabled, micro will only match
the brace character that is precisely under the cursor, and also when
jumping to the matching brace, will always move cursor precisely to the
matching brace character, not to the character next to it.
Nota bene: historical journey:
- There was already a `matchbraceleft` option introduced in commit
ea6a87d41a, when this feature (matching brace to the left) was
introduced first time. That time it was matching _only_ the brace
to the left, _instead_ of the brace under the cursor, and was
disabled by default.
- Later this feature was removed during the big refactoring of micro.
- Then this feature was reintroduced again in commit d1e713ce08, in
its present form (i.e. combined brace matching both under the cursor
and to the left, simulating I-beam cursor behavior), and it was
introduced unconditionally, without an option to disable it.
- Since then, multiple users complained about this feature and asked
for an option to disable it, so now we are reintroducing it as an
option again (this time enabled by default though).
* settings: Move all options to the start of the file
This will help with the overview of all available options and their optional
validators.
* settings: Add generic string option validator
* settings: Autocomplete string options
Passing options via micro -option=value in the command line should only
temporarily override the option value for the current micro session,
not change it permanently in settings.json. But currently it wrongly
writes it to settings.json in the case when the value passed via command
line is the default value of this option, while the current permanent
setting in settings.json is a non-default value.
Fixes#3005
Added option `hltrailingws` for highlighting trailing whitespaces
at the end of lines. Note that it behaves in a "smart" way.
It doesn't highlight newly added (transient) trailing whitespaces
that naturally occur while typing text. It would be annoying to
see transient highlighting every time we enter a space at the end
of a line while typing.
So a newly added trailing whitespace starts being highlighting
only after the cursor moves to another line. Thus the highlighting
serves its purpose: it draws our attention to annoying sloppy
forgotten trailing whitespaces.
Added option `hltaberrors` which helps to spot sloppy whitespace errors
with tabs used instead of spaces or vice versa.
It uses the value of `tabstospaces` option as a criterion whether a
tab or space character is an error or not.
If `tabstospaces` is on, we probably expect that the file should contain
no tab characters, so any tab character is highlighted as an error.
If `tabstospaces` is off, we probably expect that the file uses
indentation with tabs, so space characters in the initial indent part
of lines are highlighted as errors.
* Update docs to include `matchbracestyle`
* Add `matchbracestyle` to infocomplete.go
* Add validator and default settings for `matchbracestyle`
* Highlight or underline braces based on `matchbracestyle`
* Add `match-brace` to default colorschemes
* Correct `FindMatchingBrace()` counting
Make brace under the cursor have priority over brace to the left in
ambiguous cases when matching braces

It doesn't seem necessary to write settings to settings.json when
registering a new option. The option is set to its default value, which
means that it will not be written to settings.json (precisely because
it's the default value), so the contents of settings.json don't change
and thus don't need to be written again.
This unneeded writing, in particular, causes unexpected "The file on
disk has changed. Reload file? (y,n,esc)" each time when we open
settings.json via micro.
Fixes#2647
Avoid code duplication between RegisterCommonOption() and
RegisterCommonOptionPlug(), exactly the same way as it is done for
RegisterGlobalOption() and RegisterGlobalOptionPlug().
* Add reload setting
Can be set to:
* auto - Automatically reload files that changed
* disabled - Do not reload files
* prompt - Prompt the user about reloading the file.
* option: Add default value for reload option and documentation

Adds config option `multimode`, which takes values `tab`, `vsplit`,
or `hsplit` (corresponding to the file-opening commands). I mean to
use it with a command line like
micro -multimode vsplit foo.h foo.c
to open files in a side-by-side split, but if one really wanted to
one could set it in the config file to change the default behavior of
opening multiple files in tabs.
* Support for highlighting all search matches (hlsearch)
hlsearch is implemented efficiently using the buffer's line array,
somewhat similarly to the syntax highlighting.
Unlike the syntax highlighter which highlights the entire file,
hlsearch searches for matches for the displayed lines only.
Matches are searched when the given line is displayed first time
or after it was modified. Otherwise the previously found matches
are used.
* Add UnhighlightSearch action
and add it to the list of actions triggered by Esc key by default.
* Add comment explaining the purpose of search map
* Add hlsearch colors to colorschemes
Mostly just copied from the corresponding original (mostly vim) colorschemes.
* Highlight matches during/after replace as well
As a side effect it also changes the last search value, i.e. affects FindNext
and FindPrevious, but it's probably fine. In vim it works the same way.
* Improve hlsearch option description
This commit introduces several improvements to the backup system.
* Backups are made every 8 seconds for buffers that have been modified
since the last backup.
* The `permbackup` option allows users to specify that backups should
be kept permanently.
* `The backupdir` option allows users to store backups in a custom
directory.
