Merge lp:~dcaro/clicompanion/fix-910355 into lp:clicompanion

[David Caro]

Done a lot of improvements and code refactoring.

Also solved a lot of bugs.

The problem was that the bugs that I resolved one by one, where easily resolved together (also I resolved some other bugs that seemed easy).

Please do a full testing of the program, because a lot of things changed, and is possible that new bug may have been created. I tested myself and I will be testing it from now on, but two (or more than one) heads are better for doing so.

Also, taken back all the conflicting merge proposals, to avoid double merging of fixes.

Thanks,
David

[Marek Bardoński (bdfhjk)]

I checked Clicompanion both statically and dynamically. No errors in code observed.

    Bug #611141: It is not obvious that "q" must be pressed to exit help (man pages) [OK]

    Bug #801906: clicompanion crashes on start with ValueError in _get() [Look good]

    Bug #909894: Double click execution with user input drags command [OK]

    Bug #910249: Warning window (when wrong params issued) not working properly [OK]

    Bug #910355: Properties are not applied to the current terminal [OK]

    Bug #910360: Incorrect .clicompanion2 file causes the program to crash [OK]

    Bug #910370: Drag and drop when searching breaks the drag and drop [OK]

    Bug #910531: Allowed empty user input [OK]

    Bug #910533: In a fresh start, when executting the first command, the second gets executed instead [OK]

Regression bugs:
1. Low importance. Everytime, when I open new instance of Clicompanion, I got a message "INFO: Created config file at /home/user/.config/clicompanion/config", but that isn't true - my configuration is stored correctly and no new file was created.

Thank You for your work.
