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.
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:

Fixes bug #11804.
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.
An export can be canceled by clicking on the status bar icon or by
executing export-cancel (e.g., via Document > Cancel Background
Process).
The centralized code kills the script and updates the status bar
icons.
No change in functionality intended.
Related commits: 70a71a82 and 01abab9a.
This is consistent with 70a71a82 (which is about the code path
through clicking on the 'x' status bar icon).
In the next commit I'll make a function to centralize this sequence
of killing a script and emitting the scriptKilled() signal.
Removing. M-c e has a different meaning nowadays
(tabular-feature delete-vline-left)
Please file a new report with an updated description if this is still
an issue.
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.

Part of bug #12590.
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.
Fixes bug #8493.
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).
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.
It appears that gcc 4.9 does not implement the following part of C++11:
https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/1148.html
Therefore, we have to use a special case in C++11 mode that does an
explicit std:move.
With recent compilers (gcc >= 9), this leads in C++11 mode to a warning:
MetricsInfo.cpp: In member function ‘lyx::Changer lyx::MetricsBase::changeFontSet(const string&)’:
../../master/src/MetricsInfo.cpp:83:13: warning: redundant move in return statement [-Wredundant-move]
83 | return move(rc);
| ~~~~^~~~
MetricsInfo.cpp:83:13: note: remove ‘std::move’ call
Partly reverts commit fff28c57.
This branch improves handling of spaces on display (see #10117):
* caret is correctly shown in the middle of double spaces in justified rows;
* sequence spaces are correctly shown at the end of rows before
automatic row breaks.
Moreover, this branch:
* streamlines the code that handles spaces in row breaking
* improves display in Qt4 : although the improvements outlined above
are not present in Qt4 for monospaced fonts, some dsplay glitches
are resolved.
* improves performance for very long paragraphs (#12598).
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.
Related to bug #10117.
