of storing a full grid_cell with UTF-8 data and everything, store a new
type grid_cell_entry. This can either be the cell itself (for ASCII
cells), or an offset into an extended array (per line) for UTF-8
data.
This avoid a large (8 byte) overhead on non-UTF-8 cells (by far the
majority for most users) without the complexity of the shadow array we
had before. Grid memory without any UTF-8 is about half.
The disadvantage that cells can no longer be modified in place and need
to be copied out of the grid and back but it turned out to be lot less
complicated than I expected.
- Don't extend the line to full width on insert/delete character which
means leaves extra spaces when reflowing.
- Only mark a line wrapped when the cursor actually goes off the end,
not on newlines which can be used for positioning.
screen interactive programs to preserve the screen contents. When activated, it
saves a copy of the visible grid and disables scrolling into and resizing out
of the history; when deactivated the visible data is restored and the history
reenabled.
of characters which may be inserted or deleted is the screen width, not one
less (and similarly for lines and height); and if characters or lines are
deleted by moving the ones that follow, the space at the end needs to be
cleared.
This appears to solve long-standing redraw issues most visible when using the
force-width option then scrolling in view(1) or unwrapping lines in emacs.
