Dino 5c4f1e6b85 editor: Ignore soft wrapped lines when adding selection above or below (#40190)
- Add `skip_soft_wrap` field to both `AddSelectionAbove` and
`AddSelectionBelow` actions. When set to `true`, which is now 
the default this will skip soft wrapped lines when extending the 
selections.
- Move the `start_of_relative_buffer_row` function from the
`vim::motion` module to the `editor::display_map::DisplaySnapshot`
implementation as a method.
- Update the default behavior for both `editor: add selection above` and
`editor: add selection below` commands in order to skip over soft
wrapped lines by default, mirroring VS Code's default behavior.
- Update existing keymaps to specify this `skip_soft_wrap` value for
both `AddSelectionAbove` and `AddSelectionBelow` actions.

Closes #16979 

Release Notes:

- Updated both the `editor: add selection above` and `editor: add
selection below` commands to ignore soft wrapped lines. If you wish to
restore the old behavior, add the following to your keymap file:
  ```
  {
    "context": "Editor",
    "bindings": {
"cmd-alt-up": ["editor::AddSelectionAbove", { "skip_soft_wrap": false
}],
"cmd-alt-down": ["editor::AddSelectionBelow", { "skip_soft_wrap": false
}]
    }
  }
  ```

This contains the code for Zed's Vim emulation mode.

Vim mode in Zed is supposed to primarily "do what you expect": it mostly tries to copy vim exactly, but will use Zed-specific functionality when available to make things smoother. This means Zed will never be 100% vim compatible, but should be 100% vim familiar!

The backlog is maintained in the #vim channel notes.

Testing against Neovim

If you are making a change to make Zed's behavior more closely match vim/nvim, you can create a test using the NeovimBackedTestContext.

For example, the following test checks that Zed and Neovim have the same behavior when running * in visual mode:

#[gpui::test]
async fn test_visual_star_hash(cx: &mut gpui::TestAppContext) {
    let mut cx = NeovimBackedTestContext::new(cx).await;

    cx.set_shared_state("ˇa.c. abcd a.c. abcd").await;
    cx.simulate_shared_keystrokes(["v", "3", "l", "*"]).await;
    cx.assert_shared_state("a.c. abcd ˇa.c. abcd").await;
}

To keep CI runs fast, by default the neovim tests use a cached JSON file that records what neovim did (see crates/vim/test_data), but while developing this test you'll need to run it with the neovim flag enabled:

cargo test -p vim --features neovim test_visual_star_hash

This will run your keystrokes against a headless neovim and cache the results in the test_data directory. Note that neovim must be installed and reachable on your $PATH in order to run the feature.

Testing zed-only behavior

Zed does more than vim/neovim in their default modes. The VimTestContext can be used instead. This lets you test integration with the language server and other parts of zed's UI that don't have a NeoVim equivalent.
