Users can now synchronize the content of the pattern editor with a file
on disk when exporting a pattern. Any modifications made in the pattern
editor are automatically saved to the file and when the pattern editor
gains focus it will automatically load any changes to the file on disk.
This feature is brand new and can have unforeseen problems so test it
fully before risking losing work.
Added major changes to how the text editor handles utf8 characters with
the added ability to obtain them using the [] operator and column
coordinates as indices. Sanitize coordinates was renamed to Set
Coordinates and can be used instead of the constructor to guarantee no
out of range asserts and/or exceptions. Improved move left and right
readability and cursor accuracy when clicking. Fixed single character
selection by double-clicking it. Deleted old and unused code and other
changes that I can't remember about atm.
allows the ability to assign colors to global placed and non-placed
variables, pattern, local and calculated pointer variables, template
arguments, function variables and arguments, etc etc etc. It
accomplishes this using the parser and the token sequence generated by
the lexer. It still uses the original colorizing code but the underlying
data holding the pattern has been updated to be easier to use and to
debug. The changes are too numerous to cite here.It is a big but
necessary step to bring the pattern editor to a somewhat useful state.
There may be one commit in the pattern language repo needed to be able
to run this code
The recent update that made importing patterns undoable had the side
effect of undoing tab changes as well. When working on a fix for that it
became clear that the undo/redo stacks were being shared by all
providers so that you could undo changes done in a separate file. The
problem was fixed by making the text editors (and the console editors as
well) to be per provider which gives better control on things like
breakpoints and selections and a more robust focusing system that
preserves the cursor positions and removes the need to click on a
pattern to start editing. There are a lot of changes, but they are
mostly all the uses of text editors being now coded differently to
manage the providers. File imports are still undoable, but switching
providers is not.
Further changes suggested by reviewer were implemented namely a mull provider was being used and there was a get function missing which prevented the use of the preferred syntax.
The recent changes to the text editor to fix the longest line length
problems broke the console horizontal scrollbar. The code that displays
the console editor was more complicated that it needed be, and it had
the bad side effect of resetting the cursor which prevented horizontal
scrolling. Adding a function that appends lines to the text editor fixes
all problems and makes the code clearer. To accommodate for strings
containing zeros, the code that inserts text was changed to print a '.'
when zeros are encountered thus keeping the line length the same.
The pattern editor was resetting the flag that marked text changes on
every frame, but resolving a text change may take more than one frame,
so instead I created a function that allows the resetting of the text
changed boolean from view pattern editor.
Currently, when a pattern is evaluated the pattern editor will lose
focus regardless of how evaluation was triggered. This is specially
annoying when using f5 or auto-evaluate. Now whenever a pattern is
evaluated, focus is given to the pattern editor when evaluation ends.

Fixes#2084
Error in text editor prevented using shortcuts when language other than
English was chosen.
The code was mistakenly using localized name to test which window had
focus a execute the shortcut.
Fixed it by switching the name of the child window to the constant value
used to check the windows focused identity.
### Problem description
This PR addresses issue #2013 that described a cluttered Event Manager.
This is a DX issue and should not impact the users whatsoever.
### Implementation description
The changes revolve around three main points:
1. the Event Manager (`event_manager.hpp`) was split into four
categories: GUI, Interaction, Lifecycle, and Provider, and two types:
Events, and Requests. This results in the following files:
- `events_gui.hpp`
- `events_interaction.hpp`
- `events_lifecycle.hpp`
- `events_provider.hpp`
- `requests_gui.hpp`
- `requests_interaction.hpp`
- `requests_lifecycle.hpp`
- `requests_provider.hpp`
2. Every event and request now has its own piece of documentation, with
a `@brief`, accompanied by a longer comment if needed, and gets its
`@param`s described.
3. The old `event_manager.hpp` import was removed and replaced by the
correct imports wherever needed, as to reduce spread of those files only
to where they are truly useful.
### Additional things
The commits have been split into (chrono-)logical steps:
- `feat`: split the Event Manager, and replace the imports
- `refactor`, `chore`: make various small changes to match the required
structure
- `docs`: add documentation for events and requests
Hopefully, this will help to review the PR.
*Note: Beware of very long rebuild times in between the commits, use
them sparingly! The Actions will ensure this PR builds anyways*
Closes#2013

This time it may be for good.
### Implementation description
As requested I added the preprocessing functionality into the pattern
editor. I had to duplicate a few functions and update the c++ library to
version 20. but now I can make sure the pattern editor doesn't see a tab
again. I also removed the preprocessor from where it was before because
it is not needed anymore. The changes were tested using a file that used
tabs for all its white space. The file was pasted into the pattern
editor and imported as well. I both cases no crashes occurred and the
files had no tabs on them.
### Problem description
This PR implements the feature request described in #1995, that
describes a problem with the `Paste` vs `Paste all` commands. Users
could be thrown off by having `Ctrl+V` act as a simple "Paste over
selection", whereas it's generally accepted as a "Paste all".
### Implementation description
<!-- Explain what you did to correct the problem -->
This PR introduces a new setting, called "Paste behaviour" (under the
"Hex Editor" category).
This setting has three values:
- `Paste over selection`: the current implementation for ImHex. Pastes
only over the selection region, in this case pasting only one byte;
- `Paste everything`: allows ImHex's `Paste` to behave like a `Paste
all` when selecting one-byte regions;
- `Ask me next time`: prompts the user for a choice of behaviour
(default value).
*Note: as users generally use `Paste all` when selecting one-byte
regions, calling `Paste` when selecting over two or more bytes is not
affected by this change, and will still behave like the usual `Paste`
command.*
When selecting a one-byte region, and calling the Paste command, users
that have not defined a preferred behaviour in the settings will be
prompted to choose one, using a brand new popup. The popup also allows
the user to cancel, which will not change the settings' value, and will
cancel the paste action altogether.
### Screenshots
The new popup:

### Additional things
I'm not very good with long descriptions, so I'm open to any suggestions
regarding the text that is included in the popup!
I do think however that we should keep a hint indicating that `Paste
all` is always an option, which could solve the issue altogether for
very new users.

Since the popup is fairly small I opted for a straight addition parallel
to the find/replace. To make code more clear the functions that create
each popup were coalesced and made their interface simpler. That forced
a reorganization of the data processing which translates to a larger
number of changes than usual. Most of those changes are just moving some
action from one function to another.
The old method to identify popups using the size and position of the
window was dropped in favor of one based on child windows and using
their names for a much easier and robust identification.
Added specialized functions to text editor to jump to a line or to given
coordinates with a simple interface that simplifies older code that
performed the same task.
Because this PR modifies heavily the same code as the previous PR (1983)
it is also included here to make merging easier.
