Extmarks can contain URLs which can then be drawn in any supporting UI.
In the TUI, for example, URLs are "drawn" by emitting the OSC 8 control
sequence to the TTY. On terminals which support the OSC 8 sequence this
will create clickable hyperlinks.
URLs are treated as inline highlights in the decoration subsystem, so
are included in the `DecorSignHighlight` structure. However, unlike
other inline highlights they use allocated memory which must be freed,
so they set the `ext` flag in `DecorInline` so that their lifetimes are
managed along with other allocated memory like virtual text.
The decoration subsystem then adds the URLs as a new highlight
attribute. The highlight subsystem maintains a set of unique URLs to
avoid duplicating allocations for the same string. To attach a URL to an
existing highlight attribute we call `hl_add_url` which finds the URL in
the set (allocating and adding it if it does not exist) and sets the
`url` highlight attribute to the index of the URL in the set (using an
index helps keep the size of the `HlAttrs` struct small).
This has the potential to lead to an increase in highlight attributes
if a URL is used over a range that contains many different highlight
attributes, because now each existing attribute must be combined with
the URL. In practice, however, URLs typically span a range containing a
single highlight (e.g. link text in Markdown), so this is likely just a
pathological edge case.
When a new highlight attribute is defined with a URL it is copied to all
attached UIs with the `hl_attr_define` UI event. The TUI manages its own
set of URLs (just like the highlight subsystem) to minimize allocations.
The TUI keeps track of which URL is "active" for the cell it is
printing. If no URL is active and a cell containing a URL is printed,
the opening OSC 8 sequence is emitted and that URL becomes the actively
tracked URL. If the cursor is moved while in the middle of a URL span,
we emit the terminating OSC sequence to prevent the hyperlink from
spanning multiple lines.
This does not support nested hyperlinks, but that is a rare (and,
frankly, bizarre) use case. If a valid use case for nested hyperlinks
ever presents itself we can address that issue then.
Problem: :drop does not re-use empty buffer

* use `Special` as default for `@markup.*`, especially `@markup.raw` and
`@markup.math` (`@markup` itself is never used)
* use `Structure` for `@markup.environment`
* highlight all of `@markup.link` as Underlined (otherwise concealed
links are invisible)
'foldtext' can be set to an empty string to disable and render the
line with:
- extmark highlight
- syntax highlighting
- search highlighting
- no line wrapping
- spelling
- conceal
- inline virtual text
- respects `fillchars:fold`
Currently normal virtual text is not displayed

Problem:
rbuffer_consumed assertion fails if Unpacker fails to parse msgpack,
because it doesn't consume bytes on errors
Solution:
Call rbuffer_consumed_compact only if Unpacker isn't closed
- Problem: One cannot easily write something like, for example:
`version_current >= {0, 10, 0}`; writing like
`not vim.version.lt(version_current, {0, 10, 0})` is verbose.
- Solution: add {`le`,`ge`} in addition to {`lt`,`gt`}.
- Also improve typing on the operator methods: allow `string` as well.
- Update the example in `vim.version.range()` docs: `ge` in place of
`gt` better matches the semantics of `range:has`.
Problem: Sharing queries with upstream and Helix is difficult due to
different capture names.
Solution: Define and document a new set of standard captures that
matches tree-sitter "standard captures" (where defined) and is closer to
Helix' Atom-style nested groups.
This is a breaking change for colorschemes that defined highlights based
on the old captures. On the other hand, the default colorscheme now
defines links for all standard captures (not just those used in bundled
queries), improving the out-of-the-box experience.
This distinction is important for correct dependency management, as the
nvim binary is used to create some runtime files. The nvim binary (and
the target to build it) is thus called `nvim_bin` and the target to
build all of nvim (binary+runtime) is called `nvim`.
When an embedded Nvim instance changes its current directory a "chdir"
UI event is emitted. Attached UIs can use this information however they
wish. In the TUI it is used to synchronize the cwd of the TUI process
with the cwd of the embedded Nvim process.
Problem:
On devel(nightly) versions, deprecation warnings for hard-deprecated
features are not being displayed. E.g.,
- to be removed in: 0.11
- hard-deprecation since 0.10
- soft-deprecation since 0.9
then 0.10-nightly (0.10.0-dev) versions as well as 0.10.0 (stable)
should display the deprecation warning message.
Solution:
Improve the code and logic on `vim.deprecate()`, and improve
test cases with mocked `vim.version()`.

Problem: Wrong "clear" argument passed to buf_signcols_count_range
when initializing "b_signcols.count" for the first time.
Solution: Pass kFalse so that the "nested" counter is not incorrectly
decremented.
Problem: Insert mode not stopped if an autocommand modifies a hidden
buffer while closing a prompt buffer.
Solution: Don't set b_prompt_insert if stop_insert_mode is already set.

Problem: The 'statuscolumn' is not redrawn on the wrapped part of a
line when moving the cursor with 'relativenumber' set.
Solution: Redraw the 'statuscolumn' for the entire line height in the
"col_rows" win_line() code path.
The motivation for this update is Issue #15365, where background=light
is not properly set for Nvim running from an Nvim :terminal. This can be
encountered when e.g., opening a terminal to make git commits, which
opens EDITOR=nvim in the nested terminal.
Under the implementation of this commit, the OSC response always
indicates a black or white foreground/background. While this may not
reflect the actual foreground/background color, it permits 'background'
to be retained for a nested Nvim instance running in the terminal
emulator. The behaviour matches Vim.
Problem: Some edge cases to the old (pre-#26406) and current "b_signcols"
structure result in an incorrectly sized "auto" 'signcolumn'.
Solution: * Implement a simpler 'signcolumn' validation strategy by immediately
counting the number of signs in a range upon sign insertion and
deletion. Decrease in performance here but there is a clear path
forward to decreasing this performance hit by moving signs to a
dedicated marktree, or by adding meta-data to the existing
marktree which may be queried more efficiently?
* Also replace "max_count" and keep track of the number of lines with
a certain number of signs. This makes it so that it is no longer
necessary to scan the entire buffer when the maximum number of signs
decreases. This likely makes the commit a net increase in performance.
* To ensure correctness we also have re-initialize the count for an
edited region that spans multiple lines. Such an edit may move the
signs within it. Thus we count and decrement before splicing the
marktree and count and increment after.
Problem: Current values of `StatusLine` and `StatusLineNC` are currently
designed to be visually distinctive while being not intrusive.
However, the compromise was more shifted towards "not intrusive".
After the feedback, statusline highlight groups should be designed to:
- Make current window clearly noticeable. Meaning `StatusLine` and
`StatusLineNC` should obviously differ.
- Make non-current windows clearly separable. Meaning `StatusLineNC`
and `Normal`/`NormalNC` should obviously differ.
Solution:
- Update `StatusLineNC` to have more visible background.
- Update `StatusLine` to be inverted variant of `StatusLineNC`.
- Update `WinBar` and `WinBarNC` to not link to `StatusLine` and
`StatusLineNC` because it makes two goals harder to achieve.
- Update `TabLine` to link to `StatusLineNC` instead of `StatusLine`
to not be very visually intrusive.
