Refactor key dispatch (#14942)
Simplify key dispatch code.

Previously we would maintain a cache of key matchers for each context
that
would store the pending input. For the last while we've also stored the
typed prefix on the window. This is redundant, we only need one copy, so
now
it's just stored on the window, which lets us avoid the boilerplate of
keeping
all the matchers in sync.

This stops us from losing multikey bindings when the context on a node
changes
(#11009) (though we still interrupt multikey bindings if the focus
changes).

While in the code, I fixed up a few other things with multi-key bindings
that
were causing problems:

Previously we assumed that all multi-key bindings took precedence over
any
single-key binding, now this is done such that if a user binds a
single-key
binding, it will take precedence over all system-defined multi-key
bindings
(irrespective of the depth in the context tree). This was a common cause
of
confusion for new users trying to bind to `cmd-k` or `ctrl-w` in vim
mode
(#13543).

Previously after a pending multi-key keystroke failed to match, we would
drop
the prefix if it was an input event. Now we correctly replay it
(#14725).

Release Notes:

- Fixed multi-key shortcuts not working across completion menu changes
([#11009](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/11009))
- Fixed multi-key shortcuts discarding earlier input
([#14445](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/14445))
- vim: Fixed `jk` binding preventing you from repeating `j`
([#14725](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/14725))
- vim: Fixed `escape` in normal mode to also clear the selected
register.
- Fixed key maps so user-defined mappings take precedence over builtin
multi-key mappings
([#13543](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/13543))
- Fixed a bug where overridden shortcuts would still show in the Command
Palette

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 behaviour 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 behaviour 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.

Testing zed-only behaviour

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.
