Problem: Wiki contents are not discoverable and hard to maintain.
Solution: Move FAQ to runtime docs.

- Improve CLI argument parsing, rejects invalid argument and commands as
early as possible. Also prints USAGE in the command line.
- No longer allows `--<outfile>`, use `--out <outfile>` instead.
- Print a little bit of verbose messages to better know what's going on
rather than remaining silent at all times.
- Add type annotation `gen_lsp._opt` to avoid type warnings.
Problem:
We don't enable stylua for many Lua scripts. Automating code-style is an
important tool for reducing time spent on accidental (non-essential)
complexity.
Solution:
- Enable lintlua for `scripts/` directory.
- Specify `call_parentheses = "Input"`, we should allow kwargs-style
function invocations.

N/A already applied:
vim-patch:8.1.1226 {not in Vi} remarks get in the way of useful help text
vim-patch:8.1.1280 remarks about functionality not in Vi clutters the help
We already have an extensive suite of static analysis tools we use,
which causes a fair bit of redundancy as we get duplicate warnings. PVS
is also prone to give false warnings which creates a lot of work to
identify and disable.
refactor!: `vim.lsp.inlay_hint()` -> `vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()`
Problem:
The LSP specification allows inlay hints to include tooltips, clickable
label parts, and code actions; but Neovim provides no API to query for
these.
Solution:
Add minimal viable extension point from which plugins can query for
inlay hints in a range, in order to build functionality on top of.
Possible Next Steps
---
- Add `virt_text_idx` field to `vim.fn.getmousepos()` return value, for
usage in mappings of `<LeftMouse>`, `<C-LeftMouse>`, etc
In cases where the generated files depend on changes to Nvim itself,
generating the files with an older version of Nvim will fail because
those changes are not present in the older version.
For example, if a new option is added then the generator script should
be run with the version of Nvim that contains the new option, or else
the generation will fail.

- Move vimoption_T to option.h
- option_defs.h is for option-related types
- option_vars.h corresponds to Vim's option.h
- option_defs.h and option_vars.h don't include each other
Memoizes a function, using a custom function to hash the arguments.
Private for now until:
- There are other places in the codebase that could benefit from this
(e.g. LSP), but might require other changes to accommodate.
- Invalidation of the cache needs to be controllable. Using weak tables
is an acceptable invalidation policy, but it shouldn't be the only
one.
- I don't think the story around `hash_fn` is completely thought out. We
may be able to have a good default hash_fn by hashing each argument,
so basically a better 'concat'.

Problem: cannot distinguish Forth and Fortran *.f files
Solution: Add Filetype detection Code
Also add *.4th as a Forth filetype
closes: vim/vim#1225119a3bc3add
Don't remove filetype files from Vim patches:
- filetype.vim, script.vim, ft.vim usually contain useful changes
- script.vim and ft.vim don't even have their paths spelled correctly

Problem: sidescrolloff and scrolloff options work slightly
different than other global-local options
Solution: Make it behave consistent for all global-local options
It was noticed, that sidescrolloff and scrolloff options behave
differently in comparison to other global-local window options like
'listchars'
So make those two behave like other global-local options. Also add some
extra documentation for a few special local-window options.
Add a few tests to make sure all global-local window options behave
similar

Problem: luals returns stricter diagnostics with bundled luarc.json
Solution: Improve some function and type annotations:
* use recognized uv.* types
* disable diagnostic for global `vim` in shared.lua
* docs: don't start comment lines with taglink (otherwise LuaLS will interpret it as a type)
* add type alias for lpeg pattern
* fix return annotation for `vim.secure.trust`
* rename local Range object in vim.version (shadows `Range` in vim.treesitter)
* fix some "missing fields" warnings
* add missing required fields for test functions in eval.lua
* rename lsp meta files for consistency
* docs(options): take ownership of options.txt
- `src/nvim/options.lua` is now the source of truth
- generate runtime/lua/vim/_meta/options.lua
* fixup! zeer comments
* fixup! zeer comments (2)
* fixup! re-enable luacheck
* fixup! regen
Problem:
- Notifications are missing from `lsp.Methods`.
- Need a way to represent `$/` prefixed methods.
Solution:
- Generate notifications.
- Use "dollar_" prefix for `$/` methods.
Now that we "own" builtin.txt, we cant remove the repetitive mention of
Vimscript's UFCS syntax. It's noisy to mention this for each function,
and it's also not a Vimscript feature that should be encouraged.
Also change the builtin.txt heading to "NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL", which
indicates when a help file is Nvim-owned.
- eval.lua is now the source of truth.
- Formatting is much more consistent.
- Fixed Lua type generation for polymorphic functions (get(), etc).
- Removed "Overview" section from builtin.txt
- Can generate this if we really want it.
- Moved functions from sign.txt and testing.txt into builtin.txt.
- Removed the *timer* *timers* tags since libuv timers via vim.uv should be preferred.
- Removed the temp-file-name tag from tempname()
- Moved lueval() from lua.txt to builtin.txt.
* Fix indent
* fixup!
* fixup! fixup!
* fixup! better tag formatting
* fixup: revert changes no longer needed
* fixup! CI

When signature is a bit long or there are too many tags, the tags appear
before the signature's line. Don't include the line with tags in the
previous function' docs.
Also fix lint warnings.
* docs(lua): teach lua2dox how to table
* docs(lua): teach gen_vimdoc.py about local functions
No more need to mark local functions with @private
* docs(lua): mention @nodoc and @meta in dev-lua-doc
* fixup!

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)
