956a1c2327 help: remove an unneeded restriction for small terminals
There is no need to prevent NO_HELP from being unset on terminals
with fewer than five rows, because the bottombars() routine already
automatically suppresses the help lines on such terminals.

This improves the fix for https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61497.

(The problem with absent feedback is still there when the terminal
has just one row.)

0afe38d81a help: skip the leading blank line when the terminal is very flat
On very flat terminals, a leading blank line could lead to ^G showing

be6860b33e tweaks: remove two unneeded unsettings
Before version 4.3, commit 3eab405e, nano would write a help text to
a temporary file and then read this file into a buffer.  The NOREAD
flag interfered with the latter, so needed to be reset for showing
help.  But since the mentioned commit nano writes a help text directly
into a buffer and the unsetting of the NOREAD flag is superfluous.

The display code never references the LINE_NUMBERS flag -- the trigger
for displaying line numbers in front of the text is 'margin > 0'.  So,
since commit 90bd25c1 that put help texts into a "normal" buffer, the
unsetting of the LINE_NUMBERS flag has been superfluous.

36e3284979 help: ensure there is a blank line between title bar and start of text
In olden times, each help text started with a title line in the text
window followed by a blank line.  But since version 2.8.2, since the
help texts have become almost regular buffers (and thus searchable),
the title of the help text is in the title bar, and since version 4.0,
since --morespace became the default, the text will start immediately
below it.  But a title line immediately followed by text, without a
blank line between them, does not look nice.  So, add such a blank
line back when not using --emptyline (and also when using --minibar,
because the top of the terminal window is like a title bar).

73cd96838e help: do not leave the cursor on the status bar after a search
(This effectively reverts commit ba47abb4 from two days ago, but it
groups things better.  It makes an unnecessary call to bottombars()
for M-Q and M-W, but this hardly matters: searching in a help text
does not need to be efficient.)

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59108.

c87bc1d55f tweaks: stop casting the return of malloc() and friends
Those casts are redundant, and sometimes ugly.  And as the types of
variables are extremely unlikely to change any more at this point,
the protection they offer against miscompilations is moot.

009fb2fae6 tweaks: make three hard-bindings of special keys more efficiently
Instead of calling a function that tries to find the relevant operation,
just add three hidden hard-bindings at the end of the shortcuts list.

They are hidden because we don't want them to show up in the help text,
because we don't know what to call them (as a Cancel and Suspend key
don't exist on normal keyboards) or naming the key would be confusing
(Sh-Ins is grabbed by the desktop manager and doesn't reach nano).

b33a62af8c new feature: a position-plus-portion indicator on the righthand side
This displays a scrollbar-like thing on the right edge of the screen,
giving a rough indication where in the buffer the text that is being
shown in the viewport is located, and how large/small a portion of
the buffer this text is.

(Support for softwrapping, and an option to turn the indicator on,
will arrive in subsequent commits.)

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57956.

19a124e806 display: avoid an additional redrawing when redrawing the screen
When resizing the screen or toggling the help lines or refreshing
the screen with ^L, what used to be total_refresh() would first call
what used to be total_redraw(), to tell ncurses to redraw whatever
had been on the screen so far, before proceeding to fully redraw the
content of the title bar and the edit window and the bottom bars.
That was duplicate work.

Thus, rename total_redraw() to total_refresh(), so that ^L in the
edit window, help viewer, and file browser will redraw the screen
just once.  This also preserves whatever was on the status bar
(when --quickblank isn't used).

Rename the old total_refresh() to draw_all_subwindows() and call
this routine when resizing the screen or toggling the help lines
or returning from the credits crawl.

Its major function is to find an applicable syntax, if there is any.
And if the syntax hasn't been used before, to prime its color pairs.

6e5195f650 tweaks: invert a condition, to have two clauses in a more logical order
First the clause for the intro text and the normal lines, and then the
clause for the continuation lines (that are narrower and indented).

Also, avoid blanking the status bar when initializing the subwindows
anyway, and avoid an unneeded resfreshing call -- the bottombars()
function will take care of that.

b8ba27bbc0 tweaks: fuse two nearly identical functions into a single one
The plain keys that are valid in the help viewer are a perfect subset of
those that are valid in the file browser, so just use the same function
to do the interpretation for both.  It is not a problem that it returns
function pointers for some keystrokes that have no meaning in the help
viewer, because both NULL and an unhandled function pointer result in
the "Unbound key" message.
