Problem:
Lua functions that return multiple results are declared by using
multiple `@return` docstring directives. But the generated docs don't
make it obvious what this represents.
Solution:
- Generate a "Return (multiple)" heading for multiple-value functions.
- Fix `@note` directives randomly placed after `@return`.
Problem: some API functions that check textlock (usually those that can change
curwin or curbuf) can break the cmdwin.
Solution: make FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK call text_locked() instead, which already
checks for textlock, cmdwin and `<expr>` status.
Add FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK_ALLOW_CMDWIN to allow such functions to be usable in the
cmdwin if they can work properly there; the opt-in nature of this attribute
should hopefully help mitigate future bugs.
Also fix a regression in #22634 that made functions checking textlock usable in
`<expr>` mappings, and rename FUNC_API_CHECK_TEXTLOCK to FUNC_API_TEXTLOCK.
Problem:
In the generated docs HTML there is too much whitespace before/after `<pre>`
blocks.
- In the old layout (fixed-width), all text in `.old-help-para` is formatted as
`white-space:pre`.
- In the new layout, when `<pre>` is at the end of a `<div>`, the margins of
both are redundant, causing too much space.
Solution:
- In the old layout, always remove `<pre>` margin.
- In the new layout, disable `<pre>` margin if it is the last child.
Enforce consistent terminology (defined in
`gen_help_html.lua:spell_dict`) for common misspellings.
This does not spellcheck English in general (perhaps a future TODO,
though it may be noisy).
- quickstart
- mark lsp.txt as `new_layout`
- remove lsp-handler documentation for notifications: they don't have
handlers because they don't have server responses.
Add automatic refresh and a public interface on top of #23736
* add on_reload, on_detach handlers in `enable()` buf_attach, and
LspDetach autocommand in case of manual detach
* unify `__buffers` and `hint_cache_by_buf`
* use callback bufnr in `on_lines` callback, bufstate: remove __index override
* move user-facing functions into vim.lsp.buf, unify enable/disable/toggle
Closes#18086
feat(lua): add vim.system()
Problem:
Handling system commands in Lua is tedious and error-prone:
- vim.fn.jobstart() is vimscript and comes with all limitations attached to typval.
- vim.loop.spawn is too low level
Solution:
Add vim.system().
Partly inspired by Python's subprocess module
Does not expose any libuv objects.
Problem:
"playground" is new jargon that overlaps with existing concepts:
"dev" (`:help dev`) and "view" (also "scratch" `:help scratch-buffer`) .
Solution:
We should consistently use "dev" as the namespace for where "developer
tools" live. For purposes of a "throwaway sandbox object", we can use
the name "view".
- Rename `TSPlayground` => `TSView`
- Rename `playground.lua` => `dev.lua`
Problem:
Selecting a search result from the Algolia Docsearch widget does not
navigate to a page anchor. The docs HTML provides `<a name=…>` anchors
_near_ the `<h1>`/`<h2>`/… headings, but Algolia Docsearch expects the
anchors to be _defined on_ the headings. That's also "semantically"
nicer. https://docsearch.algolia.com/docs/manage-your-crawls/
Solution:
Set `id` on the heading element instead of placing `<a name=…>` nearby.

The cmake.deps build will read this file and set the left part of the
text as the variable name and the right part as the variable value. The
benefit of doing this is that it becomes much easier to parse which
dependencies are required, as well as to bump dependencies with
scripts/bump_deps.lua.
Adjust bump_deps.lua script to work with this new format.
This one generates a runtime/ file instead of a source file.
But otherwise it works the same like all other generators.
It has the same prerequisites (shared and mpack modules, etc), and,
importantly, it uses results from the source generators.
The odd location makes it easy to overlook when refactoring generators
(like I did last time, lol)
vim.iter wraps a table or iterator function into an `Iter` object with
methods such as `filter`, `map`, and `fold` which can be chained to
produce iterator pipelines that do not create new tables at each step.
* feat(lua): vim.tbl_contains supports general tables and predicates
Problem: `vim.tbl_contains` only works for list-like tables (integer
keys without gaps) and primitive values (in particular, not for nested
tables).
Solution: Rename `vim.tbl_contains` to `vim.list_contains` and add new
`vim.tbl_contains` that works for general tables and optionally allows
`value` to be a predicate function that is checked for every key.
