Remove all trace of Qt4 support. The different elements have been
considered carefully before removal.
The only changes that need to be done concern Windows and macOS
compilation instruction and will need to be taken care of by the
respective maintainers before prerelease.
The file TODO.killqt4 lists what remains to be done.
Support macros from hepnames and hepparticles packages
This macros are important for particle physicists. Note that the
package hepparticles as distributed in recent texlive does not work
(see #11804) and need to be patched. This is however not something we
can do, and any physicist wanting to use this will have patched his
own version I guess.
I contacted Andy Buckley, the author of the package, who answered that
he is aware of the issue but does not have time right now to fix it.
The workaround is straightforward: on line 176 of hepparticles.sty,
replace "\updefault" by "n".
Two parts:
- add *lots* of definitions to lib/symbols
- add hepparticles and hepnames as simple features in LaTeXFeatures.
The definitions are courtesy of @renyhp, and extracted from the
aforemented packages:

Effectively disable the "Stop command?" dialog
We now allow the user to cancel the background process at any point
(via the red "x" in the status bar or Document > Cancel Export), so
we do not need to poll the user with the dialog.
The patch works by setting timeout to "-1" which is treated as a
special value to disable the poll.
Fix (by obviation) #12531 and #9953, which were about the dialog.
LyX removes a single backslash when it is inserted in a
macro name by the keyboard. However if it is followed by
another character before moving the cursor, it is retained
causing an assertion (bug #12601).
Disable the arguments append-column and delete-column of tabular-features.
The code is taken from InsetMathCases, with some changes
* no need to record undo here
* in dispatch, return is prefered to break, since we do not want to invoke
InsetMathGrid::doDispatch.
Propagate these changes to InsetMathCases.
Cleanup of the InsetMathCases error messages to fit with other parts
of the code.
The handling of tabular-features in mathed needs to be unified somehow.
Based on a commit from lynx <lorenzobertini97@gmail.com>
Qt >= 5 refuses to display them. We work around this in lib/symbols
already, but make sure we do not try to display math glyphs at these
code points anyway.
Backslashes are not allowed in macro names and LyX
enforces this by not allowing entering them by keyboard.
However, it was possible to paste them and this may cause
crashes (see bug #12596).

InsetIndex: enable escaping for terms in the index
The previous code explicitly disabled it and this behaviour caused problems (like "A&A" being output as-is, which is wrong in HTML: it should be "A&A").
Qt4 code has been identidifed by
git grep -l 'QT_VERSION.*\(0x050000\|0x04\)' src
Uses of QT_VERSION_CHECK have been checked too.
been used to remember what places need further work.
Then remaining Qt4 references have been searched using
git grep -i qt4
git grep -i 'qt 4'
and relevant issues have been either fixed or noted in the new
TODO.killqt4 file.
When is it detected that our zero-width characters are not really
zero-width, avoid to use them altogether. Currently, this is known to
happen in Qt4 with monospace fonts.
This allow to remove the special Qt4 code in breaskString_helper.
In order to work around the Qt row breaking algorithm, which considers
multiple spaces as one at QTextLine break, we insert word_joiner unicode
characters beteween each pair of spaces.
The TextLayoutHelper class makes it easy to handle that.
Update Row::Element::rtrim() to only remove one space at row end.
Update support::countExpanders() to count all spaces, without special
handling for consecutive ones.
Introduce a struct to handle docstring <-> QString index translation
This new code allows to get rid of some hardcoded stuff and will be a
foundation for handling of consecutive spaces.
This code can be used in the future for getTextLayout, x2pos, and
pos2x in order to streamline code. Actually some features as the naked
parameter are here to prepare for this second set of changes.
No change intended. The modified code is much clearer, though.
When there is no module, the old code would invoke tex2lyx with option
-m
instead of
-m ""
and an error would ensue.
This is because the QProcess command line parser used in Systemcall is
broken and does not recognize empty parameters as such. The solution
is to rewrite our parsecmd() parser to generate a list of parameters.
This is post-2.4.0 work.
The workaround used here is:
- set the list of modules to "," when it should be empty. In effect,
this is a list of two empty modules.
- change tex2lyx to accept empty module names and ignore them; this is
good in terms of robustness anyway.
Additionally, when there is no receiving buffer, set the defaults as
the BufferParams defaults instead of empty (this is cleaner, but
should not make a difference in practice).
In the long term, we should switch to use the QStringList-based API of
QProcess in Systemcall (see QTBUG-80640).
This is a convenience function for indexing. It adds a copy of the
index inset under cursor after any word in the buffer that is equal
(case-insensitively) to the word preceding the index inset.
The function can be easily used to generate bad indexes (and I warn
about that in the UserGuide), but if used with care, it can also be
extremely convenient.
