This pull request is mainly for review and comment. It is preparation for a fix to #2611. I don't know whether the change in this PR by itself would be noticeable.
This change adjusts paredit to allow non-async commands to be more responsive and reliable. Heretofore all Paredit commands are async, but this change registers commands as synchronous if their async was only nominal. The goal is to reduce race conditions among multiple commands concurrently in progress (e.g., when keyboard auto-repeat outruns execution), by opting-out of concurrent execution where possible. (Races between document-change notification events and command handlers are still possible, though.)
What has changed?
pareditCommands
(data structure) distinguishes synchronoushandler
fromasyncHandler
. For the time being, the handlers themselves are not rewritten in this patch to be less-asynchronous than they already were. Therefore, motion and selection commands are synchronous and document modification commands remain async.activate
usesregisterTextEditorCommand
for synchronous handlers,registerCommand
for async.wrapPareditCommand
passes to synchronous command handlers theTextEditorEdit
provided by VS Code (removing the need for the handlers to useTextEditor.edit
, which is async).Addressing #2611
