Problem:
vim.ui.open "locks up" Nvim if the spawned process does not terminate. #27986
Solution:
- Change `vim.ui.open()`:
- Do not call `wait()`.
- Return a `SystemObj`. The caller can decide if it wants to `wait()`.
- Change `gx` to `wait()` only a short time.
- Allows `gx` to show a message if the command fails, without the
risk of waiting forever.
Problem: String interpolation fails for Dict type
Solution: Support Dict data type properly, also support :put =Dict
(without having to convert it to string() first)

Problem: noautocmd is confusing; despite its name, it doesn't block all
autocommands (instead it blocks only those related to setting the buffer), and
is commonly used by plugins to open windows while producing minimal
side-effects.
Solution: be consistent and block all autocommands when noautocmd is set.
This includes WinNew (again), plus autocommands from entering the window (if
enter is set) like WinEnter, WinLeave, TabEnter, .etc.
See the discussion at https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/14659#issuecomment-2040029517
for more information.
Remove win_set_buf's noautocmd argument, as it's no longer needed.
NOTE: pum_create_float_preview sets noautocmd for win_set_buf, but all its
callers already use block_autocmds.
Despite that, pum_create_float_preview doesn't actually properly handle
autocommands (it has no checks for whether those from win_enter or
nvim_create_buf free the window).
For now, ensure autocommands are blocked within it for correctness (in case it's
ever called outside of a block_autocmds context; the function seems to have been
refactored in #26739 anyway).
runtime(vim): Update base-syntax, add legacy header folding
Allow for syntax-based folding of Vim9 script legacy header regions.
This is enabled with the "H" flag of the g:vimsyn_folding config variable.

This reverts commit 4382d2ed56.
The story for this feature was left in an incomplete state. It was never
the intention to unilaterally fold all information, only the ones that
did not contain relevant information. This feature does more harm than
good in its incomplete state.
Problem: Patch 9.1.0296 causes too many issues
(Tony Mechelynck, chdiza, CI)
Solution: Back out the change for now
Revert "patch 9.1.0296: regexp: engines do not handle case-folding well"
This reverts commit 7a27c108e0509f3255ebdcb6558e896c223e4d23 it causes
issues with syntax highlighting and breaks the FreeBSD and MacOS CI. It
needs more work.

Problem: Regex engines do not handle case-folding well
Solution: Correctly calculate byte length of characters to skip
When the regexp engine compares two utf-8 codepoints case insensitively
it may match an adjacent character, because it assumes it can step over
as many bytes as the pattern contains.
This however is not necessarily true because of case-folding, a
multi-byte UTF-8 character can be considered equal to some single-byte
value.
Let's consider the pattern 'ſ' and the string 's'. When comparing and
ignoring case, the single character 's' matches, and since it matches
Vim will try to step over the match (by the amount of bytes of the
pattern), assuming that since it matches, the length of both strings is
the same.
However in that case, it should only step over the single byte
value 's' so by 1 byte and try to start matching after it again. So for the
backtracking engine we need to ensure:
- we try to match the correct length for the pattern and the text
- in case of a match, we step over it correctly
The same thing can happen for the NFA engine, when skipping to the next
character to test for a match. We are skipping over the regstart
pointer, however we do not consider the case that because of
case-folding we may need to adjust the number of bytes to skip over. So
this needs to be adjusted in find_match_text() as well.
A related issue turned out, when prog->match_text is actually empty. In
that case we should try to find the next match and skip this condition.

This actually won't cause "duplicate tag" errors if plugins have tags of
the same name, because E154 is only given for duplicate tags in the same
directory.
Without those tags, trying to use :h for these mappings jumps to other
places, because there are matches with higher score.
Design
- Enable commenting support only through `gc` mappings for simplicity.
No ability to configure, no Lua module, no user commands. Yet.
- Overall implementation is a simplified version of 'mini.comment'
module of 'echasnovski/mini.nvim' adapted to be a better suit for
core. It basically means reducing code paths which use only specific
fixed set of plugin config.
All used options are default except `pad_comment_parts = false`. This
means that 'commentstring' option is used as is without forcing single
space inner padding.
As 'tpope/vim-commentary' was considered for inclusion earlier, here is
a quick summary of how this commit differs from it:
- **User-facing features**. Both implement similar user-facing mappings.
This commit does not include `gcu` which is essentially a `gcgc`.
There are no commands, events, or configuration in this commit.
- **Size**. Both have reasonably comparable number of lines of code,
while this commit has more comments in tricky areas.
- **Maintainability**. This commit has (purely subjectively) better
readability, tests, and Lua types.
- **Configurability**. This commit has no user configuration, while
'vim-commentary' has some (partially as a counter-measure to possibly
modifying 'commentstring' option).
- **Extra features**:
- This commit supports tree-sitter by computing `'commentstring'`
option under cursor, which can matter in presence of tree-sitter
injected languages.
- This commit comments blank lines while 'tpope/vim-commentary' does
not. At the same time, blank lines are not taken into account when
deciding the toggle action.
- This commit has much better speed on larger chunks of lines (like
above 1000). This is thanks to using `nvim_buf_set_lines()` to set
all new lines at once, and not with `vim.fn.setline()`.
runtime: Remove fallback :CompilerSet definition from compiler plugins
The :CompilerSet command was added in version Vim 6.4 which was released
twenty years ago. Other runtime files do not support versions of that
vintage so it is reasonable to remove this fallback command definition
now.

Ref #21393
- Move default user commands to _defaults.lua as that now contains all
kinds of defaults rather than just default mappings and menus.
- Remove the :aunmenu as there are no menus when _defaults.lua is run.
Problem: Dialog for file changed outside of Vim not tested.
Solution: Add a test. Move FileChangedShell test. Add 'L' flag to
feedkeys().

Problem: Injecting languages for file redirects (e.g., in bash) is not
possible.
Solution: Add `@injection.filename` capture that is piped through
`vim.filetype.match({ filename = node_text })`; the resulting filetype
(if not `nil`) is then resolved as a language (either directly or
through the list maintained via `vim.treesitter.language.register()`).
Note: `@injection.filename` is a non-standard capture introduced by
Helix; having two editors implement it makes it likely to be upstreamed.
Backslashes are valid characters in unix style paths.
Fix the conversion of backslashes to forward slashes in several `vim.fs`
functions when not on Windows. On Windows, backslashes will still be converted
to forward slashes.
Problem: Two unrelated things are tested by a single test.
Solution: Split it into two, restoring the old Test_brace_single_line().
Add missing cleanup to some tests.

Problem: using win_viewport for implementing smooth scrolling in an external
UI might run into problems when winbar or borders is used, as there is
no indication that the entire grid is not used for scrolled buffer text.
Solution: add `win_viewport_margins` event.
Problem: Page-wise scrolling with Ctrl-D/Ctrl-U implements
it's own logic to change the topline and cursor.
More logic than necessary for scrolling with Ctrl-F/Ctrl-B
was removed in patch 9.1.0211.
Solution: Re-use the logic from Ctrl-E/Ctrl-Y/Ctrl-F/Ctrl-B while
staying backward compatible as much as possible.
Restore some of the logic that determined how many lines will
be scrolled (Luuk van Baal)

Problem: Page-wise scrolling with Ctrl-F/Ctrl-B implements
it's own logic to change the topline and cursor.
In doing so, skipcol is not handled properly for
'smoothscroll', and virtual lines.
Solution: Re-use the logic from Ctrl-E/Ctrl-Y while staying
backward compatible as much as possible.

Problem: Description of highlight groups for LSP semantic tokens can be
more up to date and useful.
Right now it misses several actually defined highlight groups and
presents information about Vim highlight groups they are linked to.
This is both outdated (they link to tree-sitter `@` groups now) and
redundant (users can see this information with `:Inspect` over the
group name itself).
Solution: Synchronize the list of groups with specification and provide
actionable descriptions.
Problem:
`TSNode:_rawquery()` is complicated, has known issues and the Lua and
C code is awkwardly coupled (see logic with `active`).
Solution:
- Add `TSQueryCursor` and `TSQueryMatch` bindings.
- Replace `TSNode:_rawquery()` with `TSQueryCursor:next_capture()` and `TSQueryCursor:next_match()`
- Do more stuff in Lua
- API for `Query:iter_captures()` and `Query:iter_matches()` remains the same.
- `treesitter.c` no longer contains any logic related to predicates.
- Add `match_limit` option to `iter_matches()`. Default is still 256.
Problem: Not all standard treesitter groups are documented.
Solution: Document them all (without relying on fallback); add default
link for new `*.builtin` groups to `Special` and `@keyword.type` to
`Structure`. Remove `@markup.environment.*` which only made sense for
LaTeX.
runtime(doc): Recover some missed commas and periods in starting.txt
Also:
- Insert some missing words;
- Strive for consistency with capitalisation of words;
- Improve shell alias examples.
The gvim words were left alone for now, but they deserve to
be treated like proper names, GVim or GUI Vim, unless these
refer to executable filenames (on *nix systems).
