    Support forwarding count and register to user modes
    
    Add switches to pass a specfic register and count to the user mode
    underlying normal mode. This is explicit as implicitely passing register
    and count could lead to surprising behaviours if user mode mappings
    do not actively defend against their first normal mode command using
    an arbitrary count/register.
    
    enter-user-mode -count %val{count} -register %val{register} <mode-name>
    is the expected idiom to forward them through. This also makes
    it possible to have different mapping entering user modes passing
    different registers/count.

    Fix Wrap corner case with a ReplacedRange of exactly line width
    
    When a ReplacedRange is exactly the line width, we also need to split
    *after* it, else we may try to split in the middle of that atom which
    assert (or loop infinitely in release).
    
    Also update the other similar check to do it only when we go to the
    next atom, avoiding unnecessary tests on each character.

    ctags.kak: Intepret ctagscmd with eval.
    
    The supported way to make ctags ignore files that have been .gitignored, is to
    use an external program like ripgrep that interprets .gitignore files, and send
    the list of files to ctags, like this:
    
        rg --files | ctags -L -
    
    Unfortunately, putting that in ctagscmd requires interpreting it with eval -
    otherwise, the pipe character is interpeted as another argument to rg.
    This brings ctags.kak in line with format.kak.

    rc windowing kitty: proper error if remote control is disabled
    
    Commit 15bf1c7614 (updated kitty integration to use the no-response
    switch, 2018-09-01) added the "--no-response" switch.  Presumably to
    suppress stdout on successful "kitty @".  But that didn't seem necessary
    because for "kitty @ new-window" we already ignored the output, and
    "kitty @ focus-window" doesn't seem to produce output on success.
    
    When ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf does not include "allow_remote_control yes",
    then "kitty @" commands will fail and print an error to stderr
    
            $ kitty @ launch
            Error: Remote control is disabled
    
    and, if "--no-response" was given, kitty writes the error to the PTY(!)
    instead of to stderr.  This makes such user errors easily discoverable
    inside interactive shells:
    
            $ kitty @ launch --no-response
            $ kitty-cmd{"ok": false, "error": "Remote control is disabled"}
    
    But it can cause confusion in a modal editor; if in normal mode,
    we'll execute "k", "i" and insert the rest into the calling buffer.
    This can be reproduced with
    
            $ HOME=$(mktemp -d) kitty -e kak -e new
    
    As reported in https://github.com/kakoune-lsp/kakoune-lsp/issues/889,
    this is especially surprising with support scripts like "jump.kak"
    whose ":jump" command runs "try %{ focus %opt{jumpclient} }", inserting
    garbage into the buffer.
    When kitty's remote control is disabled this command should fail,
    and the "try" should silence that failure (except for *debug* logs).
    
    Replace the --no-response switch with a redirect of stdout to /dev/null.
    Also add a proper error (using "fail") to point the user towards the
    root cause.

    git.kak: improve "git commit" wrapper
    
    When git would have prompted the user to edit the commit message,
    the wrapper for "git commit" runs it twice. Once with a failing editor
    to generate the commit message template and then again to create the
    commit after the user has edited the commit message. To do this, the
    wrapper needs to know if git would have prompted the user to edit
    the message which is not straight forward to predict. For example
    "git commit --fixup=<commit>" does not prompt the user to edit the
    message, but "git commit --fixup=reword:<commit>" does but the wrapper
    does not prompt the user to edit the message in either case. Another
    example is that if the pre-commit hook fails then git does not prompt
    the user to edit the commit message but the wrapper prompts the user
    to edit the message template (which is empty because the hook failed)
    even though it cannot create the commit.
    
    This commit runs "git commit" in the background with an editor that
    calls back into the kakoune client that started it, and so it no
    longer has to know in advance if git is going to prompt the user
    to edit the commit message. This means that if the pre-commit hook
    fails user is informed of the error rather than being prompted to
    edit a message for a commit that cannot be created and "git commit
    --fixup=amend:<commit>" opens the editor as expected.
    
    The commit is created when the user writes the commit message buffer,
    and can be cancelled by deleting the commit message buffer.

    Fix handling of buffer=... paths when adding/removing highlighters
    
    The use of the same separator (/) for file paths and highlighter
    paths led to some issues when trying to access a specific buffer.
    
    Fix this by prioritising buffer names, then treat extra path
    components as highlighter path. On top of this, to avoid doing this
    prioritisation logic twice, rewrite redraw_relevant_clients based
    off the root highlighter group instead of parsing the path again.
    
    Fixes #5424

    Fix crash when moving vertically to the EOL of a line with invalid utf8
    
    When targetting the EOL of a line whose last byte before EOL is a
    multibyte utf8 prefix, swallowing the EOL inside the utf8 multibyte
    sequence, that EOL does not have its own column (as its considered
    part of another codepoint).
    
    This can lead to the code selecting one-past-eol as the new coordinate,
    which breaks invariants. Fix this by explicitely using std::min to
    ensure we never select a byte past the eol.

    Preserve missing eol at eof and add an finaleol option to control it
    
    After some compelling extra use cases were mentionned, because
    @krobelus showed this change could be relatively compact, and probably
    because I am just getting old and compromising, I changed my mind on
    this and decided to add this feature.
    
    This change is based off commit 7fed1949b1442769d15ad9bf4cfe8574aaab8ca3,
    rebased onto latest master and modified to use an option for storage.
    
    Fix the various tests that were relying on extra eol at eof being always
    added by Kakoune.

    fix(ci): prevent git tools deadlock in ci
    
    - drain fifo in git blame test to prevent deadlock on Darwin
    - added 10-minute timeout to prevent indefinite hanging in CI builds
    
    That fix doesn't eliminate the deadlock completely, but it makes it less probable.
    From what I gathered, the reason it is only a Darwin problem, is the difference between
    fifo kernel buffer size (8kb vs 64kb) on Darwin and Linux, as well as heavy usage of
    fifos for bidirectional communication in git.kak.

    normal: make <c-o> always jump backward when snapshotting current selection
    
    JumpList::backward used to sometimes consume <c-o> without moving:
    when the current selection had diverged from the jump at m_current,
    we first pushed the current selection, then subtracted count.
    
    With count=1, this landed on the freshly pushed entry itself, so
    <c-o> behaved like "save checkpoint" instead of "jump backward".
    
    This was especially visible after going back into the middle of history,
    moving, then pressing <c-o> again: the first <c-o> could be a no-op
    from the user point of view.
    
    Fix by treating the implicit push as an extra internal step:
    if we push current before jumping, move back by count + 1.
    This keeps the "preserve current position for <c-i>" behavior, while
    making <c-o> consistently perform an actual backward jump.
    
    Add regression test: test/normal/jump/backward-dirty-middle
    
    Fixes #5066
