Problem:
If vim_tempdir mysteriously goes missing (typically by "antivirus" on
Windows), any plugins using tempname() will be broken for the rest of
the session. #1432#9833https://groups.google.com/g/vim_use/c/ef55jNm5czI
Steps:
mkdir foo
TMPDIR=./foo nvim
:echo tempname()
!rm -r foo
:echo tempname()
tempname() still uses the foo path even though it was deleted.
Solution:
- Don't assume that vim_tempdir exists.
- If it goes missing once, retry vim_mktempdir and log (silently) an error.
- If it goes missing again, retry vim_mktempdir and show an error.
Rejected in Vim for performance reasons:

But, logging shows that `vim_gettempdir` is not called frequently.

This feature has long been obsolete. The 'keymap' option can be used
to support language keymaps, including hebrew and hebrewp (phonetic
mapping). There is no need to keep the old c code with hardcoded
keymaps for some languages.
This commit implements the ability to control all of the XDG paths
Neovim should use. This is done by setting an environment variable named
NVIM_APPNAME. For example, setting $NVIM_APPNAME makes Neovim look for
its configuration directory in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NVIM_APPNAME instead of
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim.
If NVIM_APPNAME is not set or is an empty string, "nvim" will be used as
default.
The usecase for this feature is to enable an easy way to switch from
configuration to configuration. One might argue that the various $XDG
environment variables can already be used for this usecase. However,
setting $XDG environment variables also affects tools spawned by Neovim.
For example, while setting $XDG_CONFIG_HOME will enable Neovim to use a
different configuration directory, it will also prevent Git from finding
its "default" configuration.

Problem:
When "-l" is followed by "--", we stop sending args to the Lua script
and treat "--" in the usual way. This was for flexibility but didn't
have a strong use-case, and has these problems:
- prevents Lua "-l" scripts from handling "--" in their own way.
- complicates the startup logic (must call nlua_init before command_line_scan)
Solution:
Don't treat "--" specially if it follows "-l".
Problem:
Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua
scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output.
Solution:
- support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes#15749
- exit without +q
- remove lua2dox_filter
- remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config
is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable).
- use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job
Examples:
$ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help
Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128)
...
$ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2
$ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l -
TODO?
-e executes Lua code
-l loads a module
-i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.
Made obsolete by now graduated `filetype.lua` (enabled by default).
Note that changes or additions to the filetype detection still need to
be made through a PR to vim/vim as we port the _logic_ as well as tests.
Problem:
- Docs HTML: "foo ~" headings (column_heading) are not aligned with
their table columns/contents because the leading whitespace is not
emitted.
- taglinks starting with hyphen like |-x| were not recognized.
- keycodes like `<foo>` and `CTRL-x` were not recognized.
- ToC is not scrollable.
Solution:
- Add ws() to the column_heading case.
- Update help parser to latest version
- supports `keycode`
- fixes for taglink, argument
- Update .toc CSS. https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/297
fix https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/297
Problem:
Since right-click can now show a popup menu, we can provide messaging to
guide users who expect 'mouse' to be disabled by default. So 'mouse' can
now be enabled by default.
Solution:
Do it.
Closes#15521
Problem:
- Since c57f6b28d7#8519, sockets are created in ~/.local/… but XDG
spec says: "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR: Must be on the local filesystem", which
implies that XDG_STATE_DIR is potentially non-local.
- Not easy to inspect Nvim-created temp files (for debugging etc).
Solution:
- Store sockets in stdpath('run') ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR).
- Establish "/tmp/nvim.user/" as the tempdir root shared by all Nvims.
- Make ok() actually useful.
- Introduce assert_nolog().

Problem:
1. The main log routine does not protect itself against recursion.
log_lock() doesn't guard against recursion, it would deadlock...
2. 22b52dd462 (#11501) regressed 6f27f5ef91 (#10172), because
set_init_1..process_spawn tries to log (see backtrace below), but the
mutex isn't initialized yet. Even if the mutex were valid, we don't
want early logging to fallback to stderr because that can break
embedders when stdio is used for RPC.

Solution:
1. Check for recursion, show "internal error" message.
- FUTURE: when "remote TUI" is merged, can we remove log_lock()?
2. Skip logging if log_init wasn't called yet.
Neovim already removed `evim` (or any similar flags). The 'insertmode'
option is a weird remnant, so get rid of it.
The 'insertmode' option is replaced with a script that closely emulates
the option. This script is documented at :help 'insertmode'
This is a follow-on to #17040. The real benefit of #17040 was ensuring
that the ftplugin FileType autocommand was defined first and thus always
fired first. A side effect of the implementation in #17040 was that
setting variables that modified the state of filetype detection (such as
g:did_load_filetypes or g:do_filetype_lua) could no longer be set in the
user's init file. Filetype detection can also no longer be prevented
from loading by using `:filetype off`.
This PR addresses both of those side effects by unconditionally sourcing
ftplugin.vim and indent.vim before the user's init file (which ensures
that these autocommands run first) and sourcing filetype.vim *after* the
user's init file (thus allowing it to be blocked or modified).
Analogous to nodejs's `on('data', …)` interface, here on_key is the "add
listener" interface.

BREAKING_CHANGE: vim.register_keystroke_callback() is now an error.
I mistakenly suggested maxlines=&cmdwinheight, forgetting that it is
calculated from topline, not cursor. maxlines=1 makes the most sense in
cmdwin.
ref #15401622a36b1f1
Add a new default autocommand to limit syntax highlighting
synchronization in the command window. This refactors the nvim_terminal
autocommand out of main() and into a new init_default_autocmds()
function, which is now part of the startup process and can be further
extended with more default autocommands down the road.
ref #6289#6399
while there is some controversy, stdpath('cache') looks like a better fit for logs than stdpath('data'): you can remove logs without preventing nvim to work which fits the XDG_CACHE_HOME definition of `user specific non-essential data files`.
- remove redundant autocmd list
This "grouped" list is useless, it only gets in the way when searching
for event names.
- intro.txt: cleanup
- starting.txt: update, revisit
- doc: `:help bisect`
- mbyte.txt: update aliases 1656367b90. closes#11960
- options: remove 'guifontset'. Why:
- It is complicated and is used by almost no one.
- It is unlikely to be implemented by Nvim GUIs (complicated to parse,
specific to Xorg...).
