Problem: Temporarily changing current window in a script causes
CursorMoved to be triggerd.
Solution: Don't trigger CursorMoved if neither curwin nor cursor
changed between two checks.
Problem:
Nvim docs use "•" as a list item prefix but `gw{motion}` doesn't format
such lists by default.
Solution:
Change the 'comments' option to include "fb:•" by default.
Problem:
The parent commit added a new vim.get_visual_selection() function to
improve visual star. But that is redundant with vim.region(). Any
current limitations of vim.region() should be fixed instead of adding
a new function.
Solution:
Delete vim.get_visual_selection().
Use vim.region() to get the visual selection.
TODO: fails with visual "block" selections.
Problem:
Visual mode "*", "#" mappings don't work on text with "/", "\", "?", and
newlines.
Solution:
Get the visual selection and escape it as a search pattern.
Add functions vim.get_visual_selection and _search_for_visual_selection.
Fix#21676
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

- docs: mention --luadev-mod to run with lua runtime files
When changing a lua file in the ./runtime folder, a new contributor
might expect changes to be applied to the built Neovim binary.
The options 'path', 'include', and 'define' all use C-specific default
values. This may have made sense a long time ago when Vim was mostly
used just for writing C, but this is no longer the case, and we have
ample support for filetype specific configuration. Make the default
values of these options empty and move the C-specific values into a
filetype plugin where they belong.

Problem:
Completion messages such as "scanning tags" are noisy and generally not
useful on most systems. Most users probably aren't aware that this is
configurable.
Solution:
Set `shortmess+=C`.
Vimball is an outdated feature that is rarely used these days. It is not
a maintenance burden on its own, but it is nonetheless dead weight and
something we'd need to tell users to ignore when they inevitably ask
what it is.
See: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/21369#issuecomment-1347615173
existing behavior of
:=
and
:[range]=
are unchanged. `|` is still allowed with this usage.
However,
:=p
and similar are changed in a way which could be construed as a breaking
change. Allowing |ex-flags| for := in the first place was a mistake as
any form of := DOES NOT MOVE THE CURSOR. So it would print one line number
and then print a completely different line contents after that.
we cannot remove 'paste'. It is very common in plugins and configs.
'pastetoggle' can and should be removed though, it's a total waste of everyone's time because it generates bug reports and doesn't work well, and is useless because bracketed-paste works better.
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.
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
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:
Cannot opt-out of "WARNING: The file has been changed since reading
it!!!", even with ":write!".
Solution:
Change ":write!" to skip the warning.
closes#7270
Previously if a highlight group with a name outside the regexp
[a-zA-Z0-9_] was defined, Nvim would emit an "invalid character"
warning message. This was annoying for Lua scripts, as it was very hard
to debug what line of code was triggering this message since it didn't
produce a stack trace.
This has now been promoted to an error with the code E5248.
Additionally the ASCII character period ('.') and at-sign ('@') have
been added to the allowed list of characters of a highlight group name
to support the application of defining hierarchical highlight groups,
e.g. 'TS.keyword'.

Omit key translations and document it in vim_diff.txt.
Let :wincmd command accept a count like what its documentation suggests.
Previously it could only accept a range, which led to some ambiguity on

Patch 8.2.4594 (36a5b6867b) added support for sourcing a buffer without a name.
Patch 8.2.4325 (3908ef5017) added support for using a popup menu for wildmode completion.
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
Add 'mousescroll' option to control how many lines to scroll by when a
mouse wheel keycode is received. The mousescroll option controls both
horizontal and vertical scrolling. The option is a string in the format:
set mousescroll=direction:count,direction:count
Where direction is either "ver" or "hor", and count is a non negative
integer. If a direction is omitted, a default value is used. The default
values remain unchanged, that is 3 for vertical scrolling, and 6 for
horizontal scrolling. As such, the mousescroll default is "ver:3,hor:6".
Add mousescroll documentation
- Add option documentation in options.txt
- Add brief summary in quickref.txt
Update :help scroll-mouse-wheel
- Mention mousescroll option as a means of controlling scrolling.
- Remove obsolete suggestion to map scroll wheel keys to <C-U> to
scroll by a single line -- users should prefer the mousescroll option.
- Add some information about the consequences of remapping scroll wheel
keys (they lose their magic ability to affect inactive windows).
Update :help vim-differences
- Add brief mousescroll summary under Options
Add mousescroll tests
- Test option validation
- Test default mousescroll value and behavior
- Test fallback to default values
- Test mouse vertical and horizontal scrolling in normal mode
- Test mouse vertical and horizontal scrolling in insert mode
** Refactor
Previously most functions used to "get" a mark returned a position,
changed the line number and sometimes changed even the current buffer.
Now functions return a {x}fmark_T making calling context aware whether
the mark is in another buffer without arcane casting. A new function is
provided for switching to the mark buffer and returning a flag style
Enum to convey what happen in the movement. If the cursor changed, line,
columns, if it changed buffer, etc.
The function to get named mark was split into multiple functions.
- mark_get() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_global() -> xfmark_T
- mark_get_local() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_motion() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_visual() -> fmark_T
Functions that manage the changelist and jumplist were also modified to
return mark types.
- get_jumplist -> fmark_T
- get_changelist -> fmark_T
The refactor is also seen mainly on normal.c, where all the mark
movement has been siphoned through one function nv_gomark, while the
other functions handle getting the mark and setting their movement
flags. To handle whether context marks should be left, etc.
** Mark View
While doing the refactor the concept of a mark view was also
implemented:
The view of a mark currently implemented as the number of lines between
the mark position on creation and the window topline. This allows for
moving not only back to the position of a mark but having the window
look similar to when the mark was defined. This is done by carrying and
extra element in the fmark_T struct, which can be extended later to also
restore horizontal shift.
*** User space features
1. There's a new option, jumpoptions+=view enables the mark view restoring
automatically when using the jumplist, changelist, alternate-file and
mark motions. <C-O> <C-I> g; g, <C-^> '[mark] `[mark]
** Limitations
- The view information is not saved in shada.
- Calls to get_mark should copy the value in the pointer since we are
using pos_to_mark() to wrap and provide a homogeneous interfaces. This
was also a limitation in the previous state of things.
The current emulation script enters Insert mode much too frequently.
Using only BufWinEnter seems to be a closer simulation.
Also add a few more mappings.
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'
The default value of including F in 'shortmess' has the unfortunate side
effect of hiding output from autocommands. This is a common source of
confusion and often leads people to think their autocommands are not
working when they are. There is a small snippet in the docs for
'shortmess' indicating that the F flag suppresses autocmd output, but
it's not easy to find if you don't already know to look for it.
This commit removes that behavior of the F flag to make it only suppress
file info when opening a new file.
helpers.source() was a hack to work around the lack of anonymous
:source. Its "create tempfile" behavior is not a required part of most
tests that use it.
Some tests still need the old "create tempfile" behavior either because
they test SID behavior, or because of missing nvim_exec features: #16071
Ref: #9342
Adds the option to have a single global statusline for the current window at the bottom of the screen instead of a statusline at the bottom of every window. Enabled by setting `laststatus = 3`.
Due to the fact that statuslines at the bottom of windows are removed when global statusline is enabled, horizontal separators are used instead to separate horizontal splits. The horizontal separator character is configurable through the`horiz` item in `'fillchars'`. Separator connector characters are also used to connect the horizontal and vertical separators together, which are also configurable through the `horizup`, `horizdown`, `vertleft`, `vertright` and `verthoriz` items in `fillchars`.
The window separators are highlighted using the `WinSeparator` highlight group, which supersedes `VertSplit` and is linked to `VertSplit` by default in order to maintain backwards compatibility.
Problem: Cannot decide whether to skip test that fails with 64 bit ints.
(closesvim/vim#9072)
Solution: Add v:sizeofint, v:sizeoflong and v:sizeofpointer. Improve the
check for multiply overflow.
69b3072d98
Omit v:sizeof{int,long,pointer} as they're only really used for tests.
In Nvim, like DirChanged, this also triggers when switching windows.

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).
