Conrad Irwin 2f741c8686 vim: Fix :wq in multibuffer (#24603)
Supercedes #24561
Closes #21059

Before this change we would skip saving multibuffers regardless of the
save intent. Now we correctly save them.

Along the way:
* Prompt to save when closing the last singleton copy of an item (even
if it's still open in a multibuffer).
* Update our file name prompt to pull out dirty project items from
multibuffers instead of counting multibuffers as untitled files.
* Fix our prompt test helpers to require passing the button name instead
of the index. A few tests were passing invalid responses to save
prompts.
* Refactor the code a bit to hopefully clarify it for the next bug.

Release Notes:

- Fixed edge-cases when closing multiple items including multibuffers.
Previously no prompt was generated when closing an item that was open in
a multibuffer, now you will be prompted.

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 behavior 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 behavior 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 behavior

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.
