Firstly, lots of places in editor(1) would do a move from (x₀,y₀) to
(x,y) by first moving to (x,y₀) or (x₀,y) and only then (x,y). If the
intermediate positions were not valid cursor positions, this might cause
out of bounds access. Categorically fixed this by removing functions for
moving only horizontally or only vertically.
Secondly, editor_select_set() would set the column before setting the
line. Since the code for setting the column accesses the currently set
line at the new cursor position, it might cause out of bounds access
even on valid cursor positions. Fixed this by swapping the order in
which column and row are set.
Thirdly, the order of arguments passed to row_column_smallest() and
row_column_biggest() was wrong, with column being passed before the row,
even though they were defined the other way. However, this did not
result in out of bounds memory accesses due to the parameters to
editor_cursor_set() also being swapped at relevant callsites.
Finally, the boundary condition for control-down was off by one.
Since this is a console program, ctrl + letter gets mapped to a
control character in the range 1 to 26. Most of these control
characters are no longer in use and can safely be assumed to be
result of ctrl + letter, but ^I maps to the tab character.
I chose ^G since the keybind is memorable, and a user is unlikely
to try to type the BEL character.
While under Sortix these operations ought to be safe, UBSan will
complain regardless if you do a zero-byte memmove from NULL. This
caused the editor forcibly quit whenever it tried to open a file
that had an empty first line and at least one another line.
roff(7) dictates that "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an
input line." Instead of doing this, Sortix manpages (incorrectly) used
double-spaces to separate sentences.
Additionally, fix a few small typos.
