Instead of randomly disappearing because some random event might have
caused mid_start or bot_scroll_start to randomly take a low value, treat
intro message as a _first class stateful_ thing.
This means that intro message will kept being _redrawn_ as long as we
are in the state it should be shown. This also includes screen resizes.
you will not lose the intro message because there was a delay in
detecting terminal features.
Problem: Arbitrary restriction on 'cmdheight' with ext_messages.
The 'cmdheight'-area may be desirable for the replacing
cmdline.
Solution: Allow non-zero 'cmdheight' with ext_messages.
This is the command invoked repeatedly to make the changes:
:%s/^\(.*\)|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$\n\1|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$/\=submatch(1)..'|*'..(max([str2nr(submatch(2)),1])+max([str2nr(submatch(3)),1]))/g
Problem:
The next command after `silent !{cmd}` or `silent lua print('str')`
prints an empty line before printing a message, because these commands
set `msg_didout = true` despite not printing any messages.
Solution:
Set `msg_didout = true` only if `msg_silent == 0`
PROBLEM:
Currently `:echoerr` prints multi-line strings in a single line
as `:echom` does (Note: `:echon` can print multi-line strings well).
This makes stacktrace printed via echoerr difficult to read.
Example code:
try
lua error("lua stacktrace")
catch
echoerr v:exception
endtry
Output:
Error detected while processing a.vim[5]..a.vim:
line 4:
Vim(lua):E5108: Error executing lua [string ":lua"]:1: lua stacktrace^@stack traceback:^@^I[C]: in function 'error'^@^I[string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk
SOLUTION:
Allow echoerr to print multiline messages (e.g., lua exceptions),
because this command is usually used to print stacktraces.
Output after the fix:
Error detected while processing a.vim[5]..a.vim:
line 4:
Vim(lua):E5108: Error executing lua [string ":lua"]:1: lua stacktrace
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
[string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk
This finalizes the long running refactor from the old TUI-focused grid
implementation where text-drawing cursor was not separated from the
visible cursor.
Still, the pattern of setting cursor position together with updating a
line was convenient. Introduce grid_line_cursor_goto() to still allow
this but now being explicit about it.
Only having batched drawing functions makes code involving drawing
a bit longer. But it is better to be explicit, and this highlights
cases where multiple small redraws can be grouped together. This was the
case for most of the changed places (messages, lastline, and :intro)
The builtin cat was removed in 4bc9229ecb
as it is not used during runtime but only for tests. However, it is a
very small and useful utility program that we need for a lot of our
tests, so there's no harm in bundling it, and it helps us avoid
complicating our build system by having two versions of neovim (neovim
for users and neovim for testing).
Also skip tests if "grep" or "sleep" isn't available.
Extend the capabilities of is_os to detect more platforms such as
freebsd and openbsd. Also remove `iswin()` helper function as it can be
replaced by `is_os("win")`.
When 'cmdheight' is changed while messages have scrolled, the position
of msg_grid is not moved up, so cmdline_row should not be set based on
the position of msg_grid.
The old behaviour (e.g. via `set display-=msgsep`) will not be available.
Assuming that messages always are being drawn on msg_grid
(or not drawn at all, and forwarded to `ext_messages` enabled UI)
will allows some simplifcations and enhancements moving forward.
Problem: Command overlaps with printed text in scrollback.
Solution: Clear until end-of-line and use correct message chunk.

Remove the command('qall!') from mksession_spec.lua because it prevents
helpers.rmdir() from retrying.
Allow extra trailing spaces when matching terminal lines.
