Problem: floaing preview window can be closed by some
ex commands like `only` `fclose` which will not clean the bufvar
Solution: use WinClosed event with floating_winnr for clean
bufnr, and add test cases for vim.lsp.util.open_floating_preview
Problem:
`validate_option_value_args()` returns `OK` even if option name is
invalid or if option doesn't have the supported scope, which leads to
Neovim still trying to erroneously get/set the option in those cases,
which can lead to an assertion failure when `option_has_scope()` is
invoked. This issue miraculously doesn't exist in release builds since
the assertion is skipped and `(get/set)_option_value_for` returns if
there is an error set, but that is not the intended location for that
error to be caught.
Solution:
Make `validate_option_value_args()` return `FAIL` if there is an error
set, which causes the API option functions to return early instead of
trying to get/set an invalid option.
The newer UCRT runtime has native support for UTF-8, including forcing
it as the active codepage even before `main()` is called. This means
the c runtime will properly convert windows WCHAR:s into UTF-8 bytes,
as early as the argv/argc params to `main()` . Whereas MSVCRT does not
support this reliably and required us to use `wmain()`.
Only MSVC supports using manifest files directly as source files.
The solution for other Windows toolchains is to use a .rc file.
By making it a separate module, the embedded Nvim session can require
this module directly instead of setup code sending over the module via
RPC.
Also make exec_lua wrap _G.print so messages can be seen
in the test output immediately as the exec_lua returns.

Problem: Separate message emitted for each newline present in Lua
print() arguments.
Solution: Make msg_multiline() handle NUL bytes. Refactor print() to use
msg_multiline(). Refactor vim.print() to use print().
Problem: Documentation for "hl_group" in nvim_buf_set_extmark() is
unclear. "hl_group" in nvim_echo() does not accept
highlight group id.
Solution: Move documentation for highlight group name/id to first
mention of hl_group. Update nvim_echo() to accept highlight
group id.
Problem: Floating windows with focusable set to false can reasonably be
expected to be UI elements but are listed in some outputs that
should contain only regular windows.
Solution: Hide unfocusable floating windows from the default tabline and
:tabs.
Problem: No longer able to show prompt messages with vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Do not execute callback in fast context for prompt message
kinds. These events must be safe to show the incoming message
so the event itself serves to indicate that the message
should be shown immediately.
Problem: setting 'cmdheight' may cause hit-enter-prompt and echo output
to be missing
Solution: Before cleaning the cmdline, check the need_wait_return flag

Problem: Lua callbacks for "msg_show" events with vim.ui_attach() are
executed when it is not safe.
Solution: Disallow non-fast API calls for "msg_show" event callbacks.
Automatically detach callback after excessive errors.
Make sure fast APIs do not modify Nvim state.
Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.
Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.
**Problem:** Currently node names with non-alphanumeric, non
underscore/hyphen characters (only possible with anonymous nodes) are
not given a proper error message. See tree-sitter issue 3892 for more
details.
**Solution:** Apply a different scanning logic to anonymous nodes to
correctly identify the entire node name (i.e., up until the final double
quote)
Problem: Crash when initializing for --startuptime errors.
Solution: Report the error to stderr, as neither logging nor messages
have been initialized yet.
Problem: Ext_messages chunks only contain the highlight attr id, which
is not very useful for vim.ui_attach() consumers.
Solotion: Add highlight group id to message chunks, which can easily be
used to highlight text in the TUI through nvim_buf_set_extmark():
hl_group = synIDattr(id, "name").
Problem: Highlight group id is not propagated to the end of the message call
stack, where ext_messages are emitted.
Solution: Refactor message functions to pass along highlight group id
instead of attr id.
Problem: Inccommand preview callback may flush inaccurate cmdline cursor position.
Solution: Ensure cursor is where it belongs when doing command preview.
Problem: Can receive dozens of <MouseMove> events for same cell position. #30965
Solution: Leverage check_multiclick() to detect if cell position is unchanged.
Problem:
When tmpdir is local. The returned values from tmpname may already
exist. This can cause problems for tests which pass `create=false` as
they may require the file to not exist yet.
Solution:
When creating tmp names, always remove it to ensure it doesn't exist,
and optionally open it if `create~=false`
Additionally refactor the tmpname code and flattrn some functions into
constants.
Also while debugging this issue. It was discovered that `exec_lua()`
doesn't report error messages properly. This has been fixed.
Problem:
There are three different ways of marking an option as hidden, `enable_if
= false`, `hidden = true` and `immutable = true`. These also have different
behaviors. Options hidden with `enable_if = false` can't have their value
fetched using Vim script or the API, but options hidden with `hidden = true` or
`immutable = true` can. On the other hand, options with `hidden = true` do not
error when trying to set their value, but options with `immutable = true` do.
Solution:
Remove `enable_if = false`, remove the `hidden` property for options, and use
`immutable = true` to mark an option as hidden instead. Also make hidden option
variable pointers always point to the default value, which allows fetching the
value of every hidden option using Vim script and the API. This does also mean
that trying to set a hidden option will now give an error instead of just being
ignored.
while the implementation is not tied to screen chars, it is a reasonable
expectation to support the same size. If nvim is able to display a
multibyte character, it will accept the same character as input,
including in normal mode commands like r{char}

- Partition the handlers in vim.lsp.handlers as:
- client to server response handlers (RCS)
- server to client request handlers (RSC)
- server to client notification handlers (NSC)
Note use string indexes instead of protocol.methods for improved
typing in LuaLS (tip: use hover on RCS, RSC or NSC).

Problem: Selecting an item in the right-click menu when clicking to the

feat(diagnostics)!: sort underline with severity_sort
BREAKING CHANGE: underline will be applied with a higher value than `vim.hl.priorities.diagnostics`
* deprecate old signatures
* move to new str_byteindex/str_utfindex signature
* use single-underscore name (double-underscore is reserved for Lua itself)
PROBLEM:
There are several limitations to vim.str_byteindex, vim.str_utfindex:
1. They throw given out-of-range indexes. An invalid (often user/lsp-provided)
index doesn't feel exceptional and should be handled by the caller.
`:help dev-error-patterns` suggests that `retval, errmsg` is the preferred
way to handle this kind of failure.
2. They cannot accept an encoding. So LSP needs wrapper functions. #25272
3. The current signatures are not extensible.
* Calling: The function currently uses a fairly opaque boolean value to
indicate to identify the encoding.
* Returns: The fact it can throw requires wrapping in pcall.
4. The current name doesn't follow suggestions in `:h dev-naming` and I think
`get` would be suitable.
SOLUTION:
- Because these are performance-sensitive, don't introduce `opts`.
- Introduce an "overload" that accepts `encoding:string` and
`strict_indexing:bool` params.
```lua
local col = vim.str_utfindex(line, encoding, [index, [no_out_of_range]])
```
Support the old versions by dispatching on the type of argument 2, and
deprecate that form.
```lua
vim.str_utfindex(line) -- (utf-32 length, utf-16 length), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, index) -- (utf-32 index, utf-16 index), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16') -- utf-16 length
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', index) -- utf-16 index
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge) -- error: index out of range
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge, false) -- utf-16 length
```
Problem:
`vim.validate()` takes two forms when it only needs one.
Solution:
- Teach the fast form all the features of the spec form.
- Deprecate the spec form.
- General optimizations for both forms.
- Add a `message` argument which can be used alongside or in place
of the `optional` argument.
Problem:
- `vim.highlight` module does not follow `:help dev-name-common`, which
documents the name for "highlight" as "hl".
- Shorter names are usually preferred.
Solution:
Rename `vim.highlight` to `vim.hl`.
This is not a breaking change until 2.0 (or maybe never).
vim-patch:8.2.4744: a terminal window can't use the bell
vim-patch:8.2.4745: using wrong flag for using bell in the terminal
BREAKING CHANGE: Bells from :terminal are now silent by default, unless
'belloff' option doesn't contain "term" or "all".
Problem: Setting title while TUI buffer is almost full may cause the
end of a flush to be treated as a part of an OSC 2 or OSC 0
sequence, leading to problems like invisible cursor.
Solution: Make the whole sequence to set title a unibi_ext string.
Now that #16425 is fixed, use Unicode again to reduce screen height.
Unfortunately composing chars still can't be used, as it turns out that
composing chars may be missing when sent separately from the base char
at the last char a screen line.
**Problem:** Tree-sitter 0.24.0 introduced a new symbol type to denote
supertype nodes (`TSSymbolTypeSupertype`). Now, `language.inspect()`
(and the query `omnifunc`) return supertype symbols, but with double
quotes around them.
**Solution:** Mark a symbol as "named" based on it *not* being an
anonymous node, rather than checking that it is a regular node (which a
supertype also is not).
**Problems:**
- `vim.treesitter.language.inspect()` returns duplicate
symbol names, sometimes up to 6 of one kind in the case of `markdown`
- The list-like `symbols` table can have holes and is thus not even a
valid msgpack table anyway, mentioned in a test
**Solution:** Return symbols as a map, rather than a list, where field
names are the names of the symbol. The boolean value associated with the
field encodes whether or not the symbol is named.
Note that anonymous nodes are surrounded with double quotes (`"`) to
prevent potential collisions with named counterparts that have the same
identifier.
This commit also marks `child_containing_descendant()` as deprecated
(per upstream's documentation), and uses `child_with_descendant()` in
its place. Minimum required tree-sitter version will now be `0.24`.
Problem:
Using a single RPC request to child server isn't enough to prevent race
between nvim_paste and nvim_input.
Solution:
Ensure both child client and child server have processed pending events
by sending an empty DCS response to the child client and waiting for
TermResponse autocommand on the child server.
Problem: on `CompleteDone` cursor can jump to the end of line instead of
the end of the completed word.
Solution: remove only inserted word for snippet expansion instead of everything
until eol.

Problem:
- Some servers like LuaLS add unwanted blank lines after multiline
`@param` description.
- List items do not wrap nicely.
Solution:
- When rendering the LSP doc hover, remove blank lines in each `@param`
or `@return`.
- But ensure exactly one empty line before each.
- Set 'breakindent'.
Problem: Lua accessors for
- global, local, and special variables (`vim.{g,t,w,b,v}.*`), and
- options (`vim.{o,bo,wo,opt,opt_local,opt_global}.*`),
do not have command-line completion, unlike their vimscript counterparts
(e.g., `g:`, `b:`, `:set`, `:setlocal`, `:call <fn>`, etc.).
Completion for vimscript functions (`vim.fn.*`) is incomplete and does
not list all the available functions.
Solution: Implement completion for vimscript function, variable and
option accessors in `vim._expand_pat` through:
- `getcompletion()` for variable and vimscript function accessors, and
- `nvim_get_all_options_info()` for option accessors.
Note/Remark:
- Short names for options are yet to be implemented.
- Completions for accessors with handles (e.g. `vim.b[0]`, `vim.wo[0]`)
are also yet to be implemented, and are left as future work, which
involves some refactoring of options.
- For performance reasons, we may want to introduce caching for
completing options, but this is not considered at this time since the
number of the available options is not very big (only ~350) and Lua
completion for option accessors appears to be pretty fast.
- Can we have a more "general" framework for customizing completions?
In the future, we may want to improve the implementation by moving the
core logic for generating completion candidates to each accessor (or
its metatable) or through some central interface, rather than writing
all the accessor-specific completion implementations in a single
function: `vim._expand_pat`.
An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be
bumped when a new Lua function is added.
TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions.
ref #25416
Some composite/compound types even as basic as `(string|number)[]` are
not currently supported by the luacats LPEG grammar used by gen_vimdoc.
It would be parsed & rendered as just `string|number`.
Changeset adds better support for these types.
Ensure the screen is fully updated before blocking for input. This did
not always happen before, for example when setting `cursorline
scrolloff=9999`, which lead to jerky movement when using some GUI
applications.
Because of the duality of redraw_later, this can't be done in
command-line or when waiting for "Press ENTER". In many of those cases
the redraw is expected AFTER the key press, while normally it should
update the screen immediately. So, those special cases are excluded.
Problem: fixed order of items in insert-mode completion menu
Solution: Introduce the 'completeitemalign' option with default
value "abbr,kind,menu" (glepnir).
Adding an new option `completeitemalign` abbr is `cia` to custom
the complete-item order in popupmenu.

Problem:
The `_watch.watch()` strategy may fail if the given path does not exist:
…/vim/_watch.lua:101: ENOENT: no such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
…/vim/_watch.lua:101: in function <…/vim/_watch.lua:61>
[string "<nvim>"]:5: in main chunk
- `_watch.watch()` actively asserts any error returned by `handle:start()`.
- whereas `_watch.watchdirs()` just ignores the result of `root_handle:start()`.
Servers may send "client/registerCapability" with "workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles"
item(s) (`baseUri`) which do not actually exist on the filesystem:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/28058#issuecomment-2189929424
{
method = "client/registerCapability",
params = {
registrations = { {
method = "workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles",
registerOptions = {
watchers = { {
globPattern = {
baseUri = "file:///Users/does/not/exist",
pattern = "**/*.{ts,js,mts,mjs,cjs,cts,json,svelte}"
}
},
...
}
Solution:
- Remove the assert in `_watch.watch()`.
- Show a once-only message for both cases.
- More detailed logging is blocked until we have `nvim_log` / `vim.log`.
