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.
### 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

### 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.
