Colors dissapear and text is messed up on kakoune master

[CharlesGueunet]

Using this plugin in Kakoune master works but the preview is a bit messed up (see the right part of the picture)

• Color of anchors are not displayed anymore,
• Here I used the word version and some lines are now merged.

Interesting, do you know which changes to kakoune are causing this?

[CharlesGueunet]

I have bissected and it seems this change was introduced in commit 954373d3cfa9d168f7949f12cb7b2e730d18de99

This commit is not really documented. It is named Support multi-line replace-ranges

[danr]

Thanks for bisecting! Maybe the easymotion code is doing something sloppy around line endings that now get catched with this new commit.

[danr]

Maybe related: #29

I am also experiencing this.

I am putting a $25 Bitcoin bounty on this (enough for a pizza basically).

It should also resolve #29 .

Looked into this, only the red foreground is missing, if you change EasyMotionForeground to set a background it will still show. This includes formatting such as underlines or italics. This doesn't solve it but can be used to increase contrast.

I've also messed around with the new replace-ranges and the reason that lines are missing is that the return character is replaced on the above line. This most likely has to do with the added functionality to allow someone to implement code folding. I think fixing this on the plugin side is honestly impractical.

If the task is more difficult or time consuming than expected I will raise the bounty in increments of $25 USD.

I made a minimal reproducer.

Have the following buffer (27 times "a\n") and execute easy-motion-w

a

You'll see that the last two lines are joined

My proposed solution after some investigation would be to also get the selection contents to the python script.
Then the script can check if there is a newline in the contents. If there is a newline, replace only the characters until the newline, otherwise replace everything.

Getting the selections to the python script is not trivial, since currently all the variables are sent to the python script in one string, delimited by ^, since selections can also contain ^ characters (or any other proposed delimiter for that matter), we cannot do it in this way.

[lf94]

I'm revoking the bounty; it seems there are some deep issues with the plugin, and after learning some kakoune script myself, I'm not sure I see a proficient way to achieve this functionality. (Also, no one has declared to be working on it.)

I'm using workaround (order is important):

colorscheme default # your colorscheme
set-face global EasyMotionForeground rgb:fdf6e3,rgb:268bd2+fg
