* Problem
Quotes are special in doxygen, and should be escaped. *Sometimes* they
cause doc generation issues. Like in #17785
* Solution
Replace double quotes with single quotes
* revert to filetype.vim by setting `g:do_legacy_filetype`
* skip either filetype.lua or filetype.vim via `g:did_load_filetypes`
(Running both is no longer required and therefore no longer supported.)
This is necessary in cases where filetype detection acts recursively.
For example, when matching files that end with .bak, the "root" of
the filename is matched again against the same buffer (e.g. a buffer
named "foo.c.bak" will be matched again with the filename "foo.c", using
the same underlying buffer).
This enables vim.filetype.match to match based on a buffer (most
accurate) or simply a filename or file contents, which are less accurate
but may still be useful for some scenarios.
When matching based on a buffer, the buffer's name and contents are both
used to do full filetype matching. When using a filename, if the file
exists the file is loaded into a buffer and full filetype detection is
performed. If the file does not exist then filetype matching is only
performed against the filename itself. Content-based matching does the
equivalent of scripts.vim, and matches solely based on file contents
without any information from the name of the file itself (e.g. for
shebangs).
BREAKING CHANGE: use `vim.filetype.match({buf = bufnr})` instead
of `vim.filetype.match(name, bufnr)`
Many filetypes from filetype.vim set buffer-local variables, meaning
vim.filetype.match cannot be used without side effects. Instead of
setting these buffer-local variables in the filetype detection functions
themselves, have vim.filetype.match return an optional function value
that, when called, sets these variables. This allows vim.filetype.match
to work without side effects.
This will check if the string after the variable in a @param is either
"number", "string", "table", "boolean" and "function" and if so add a
parenthesis around it. This will help separate the variable type with
the following text. Had all our functions been annotated with emmylua
then a more robust solution might have been preferable (such as always
assuming the third string is parameter type without making any checks).
I believe however this is a clear improvement over the current situation
and will suffice for now.
This is primarily intended to act as documentation for the developer so
they know exactly when and what to remove. This will help prevent the
situation of deprecated code lingering for far too long as developers
don't have to worry if a function is safe to remove.
vim.tbl_get takes a table with subsequent string arguments (variadic) that
index into the table. If the value pointed to by the set of keys exists,
the function returns the value. If the set of keys does not exist, the
function returns nil.
Problem: The eval.txt help file is way too big.
Solution: Move the builtin function details to a separate file.

This introduces two new functions `vim.keymap.set` & `vim.keymap.del`
differences compared to regular set_keymap:
- remap is used as opposite of noremap. By default it's true for <Plug> keymaps and false for others.
- rhs can be lua function.
- mode can be a list of modes.
- replace_keycodes option for lua function expr maps. (Default: true)
- handles buffer specific keymaps
Examples:
```lua
vim.keymap.set('n', 'asdf', function() print("real lua function") end)
vim.keymap.set({'n', 'v'}, '<leader>lr', vim.lsp.buf.references, {buffer=true})
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>w', "<cmd>w<cr>", {silent = true, buffer = 5 })
vim.keymap.set('i', '<Tab>', function()
return vim.fn.pumvisible() == 1 and "<C-n>" or "<Tab>"
end, {expr = true})
vim.keymap.set('n', '[%', '<Plug>(MatchitNormalMultiBackward)')
vim.keymap.del('n', 'asdf')
vim.keymap.del({'n', 'i', 'v'}, '<leader>w', {buffer = 5 })
```
Corrects lua.txt help file to say that require() searches runtimepath
and loads the first module found, not the last.
Also adds additional clarification on require() and module search order.
Closes#15480
* vim.ui.input is an overridable function that prompts for user input
* take an opts table and the `on_confirm` callback, see `:help vim.ui.input` for more details
* defaults to a wrapper around vim.fn.input(opts)
* switches the built-in client's rename handler to use vim.ui.input by default
Problem:
1. "unpack" has an unrelated meaning in Lua:
https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-unpack
2. We already have msgpackparse()/msgpackdump() and
json_encode()/json_decode(), so introducing another name for the same
thing is entropy.
Solution:
- Rename vim.mpack.pack/unpack => vim.mpack.encode/decode
Caveat:
This is incongruent with the `Unpacker` and `Packer` functions.
- It's probably too invasive to rename those.
- They also aren't part of our documented interface.
- This commit is "reversible" in the sense that we can always revert
it and add `vim.mpack.encode/decode` as _aliases_ to
`vim.mpack.pack/unpack`, at any time in the future, if we want
stricter fidelity with upstream libmpack. Meanwhile,
`vim.mpack.encode/decode` is currently the total _documented_
interface of `vim.mpack`, so this change serves the purpose of
consistent naming in the Nvim stdlib.
The spacing fix drew attention to a couple of places that were using
incorrect formatting such as the key listing for `nvim_open_win`, so
those were fixed too.
vim.bo can target a specific buffer by indexing with a number, e.g:
`vim.bo[2].filetype` can get/set the filetype for buffer 2. This change
replicates that behaviour for the variable namespace.
Continuation of https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/15202
A plugin like telescope could override it with a fancy implementation
and then users would get the telescope-ui within each plugin that
utilizes the vim.ui.select function.
There are some plugins which override the `textDocument/codeAction`
handler solely to provide a different UI. With custom client commands and
soon codeAction resolve support, it becomes more difficult to implement
the handler right - so having a dedicated way to override the picking
function will be useful.
The `split()` VimL function trims empty items from the returned list by
default, so that, e.g.
split("\nhello\nworld\n\n", "\n")
returns
["hello", "world"]
The Lua implementation of vim.split does not do this. For example,
vim.split("\nhello\nworld\n\n", "\n")
returns
{'', 'hello', 'world', '', ''}
Add an optional parameter to the vim.split function that, when true,
trims these empty elements from the front and back of the returned
table. This is only possible for vim.split and not vim.gsplit; because
vim.gsplit is an iterator, there is no way for it to know if the current
item is the last non-empty item.
Note that in order to preserve backward compatibility, the parameter for
the Lua vim.split function is `trimempty`, while the VimL function uses
`keepempty` (i.e. they are opposites). This means there is a disconnect
between these two functions that may surprise users.
Strings that previously decoded into a msgpack special for representing
BINs with NULs now convert to Blobs. It shouldn't be possible to decode
into this special anymore after this change?
Notably, Lua strings with NULs now convert to Blobs when passed to VimL.
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.
The official developer documentation in in :h dev-lua-doc specifies to
use "--@" for special/magic tokens. However, this format is not
consistent with EmmyLua notation (used by some Lua language servers) nor
with the C version of the magic docstring tokens which use three comment
characters.
Further, the code base is currently split between usage of "--@",
"---@", and "--- @". In an effort to remain consistent, change all Lua
magic tokens to use "---@" and update the developer documentation
accordingly.
* feat(api): add lua C bindings for xdiff
* chore: opt.hunk_lines -> opt.result_type

Breaking Changes:
- Deprecated all `vim.lsp.util.{*diagnostics*}()` functions.
- Instead, all functions must be found in vim.lsp.diagnostic
- For now, they issue a warning ONCE per neovim session. In a
"little while" we will remove them completely.
- `vim.lsp.callbacks` has moved to `vim.lsp.handlers`.
- For a "little while" we will just redirect `vim.lsp.callbacks` to
`vim.lsp.handlers`. However, we will remove this at some point, so
it is recommended that you change all of your references to
`callbacks` into `handlers`.
- This also means that for functions like |vim.lsp.start_client()|
and similar, keyword style arguments have moved from "callbacks"
to "handlers". Once again, these are currently being forward, but
will cease to be forwarded in a "little while".
- Changed the highlight groups for LspDiagnostic highlight as they were
inconsistently named.
- For more information, see |lsp-highlight-diagnostics|
- Changed the sign group names as well, to be consistent with
|lsp-highlight-diagnostics|
General Enhancements:
- Rewrote much of the getting started help document for lsp. It also
provides a much nicer configuration strategy, so as to not recommend
globally overwriting builtin neovim mappings.
LSP Enhancements:
- Introduced the concept of |lsp-handlers| which will allow much better
customization for users without having to copy & paste entire files /
functions / etc.
Diagnostic Enhancements:
- "goto next diagnostic" |vim.lsp.diagnostic.goto_next()|
- "goto prev diagnostic" |vim.lsp.diagnostic.goto_prev()|
- For each of the gotos, auto open diagnostics is available as a
configuration option
- Configurable diagnostic handling:
- See |vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics()|
- Delay display until after insert mode
- Configure signs
- Configure virtual text
- Configure underline
- Set the location list with the buffers diagnostics.
- See |vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_loclist()|
- Better performance for getting counts and line diagnostics
- They are now cached on save, to enhance lookups.
- Particularly useful for checking in statusline, etc.
- Actual testing :)
- See ./test/functional/plugin/lsp/diagnostic_spec.lua
- Added `guisp` for underline highlighting
NOTE: "a little while" means enough time to feel like most plugins and
plugin authors have had a chance to refactor their code to use the
updated calls. Then we will remove them completely. There is no need to
keep them, because we don't have any released version of neovim that
exposes these APIs. I'm trying to be nice to people following HEAD :)

- 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...).
