Problem: both `StatusLineTerm`/`StatusLineTermNC` are now explicitly
used, but `:color vim` does not set them to the values used in Vim.
This might be fine if `:color vim` is treated as "the state of default
color scheme prior the big update", but it seems to be better treated
as "Vim's default color scheme" (how it is documented in its header).
Solution: add `StatusLineTerm`/`StatusLineTermNC` definitions to
'runtime/colors/vim.lua'.
Use explicit foreground colors ('Whte'/'Black') instead of `guifg=bg`
used in source, as the latter caused some problems in the past (if
`Normal` is not defined, `nvim_set_hl()` can't recognize `'bg'` as the
foreground value).
Also realign the rest of the background conditional highlight groups.
When libvterm receives the OSC 52 escape sequence it ignores it because
Nvim does not set any selection callbacks. Install selection callbacks
that forward to the clipboard provider, so that setting the clipboard
with OSC 52 in the embedded terminal writes to the system clipboard
using the configured clipboard provider.
We currently check $COLORTERM in the TUI process to determine if the
terminal supports 24 bit color (truecolor). If $COLORTERM is "truecolor"
or "24bit" then we automatically assume that the terminal supports
truecolor, but if $COLORTERM is set to any other value we still query
the terminal.
The `rgb` flag of the UI struct is a boolean which only indicates
whether the UI supports truecolor, but does not have a 3rd state that we
can use to represent "we don't know if the UI supports truecolor". We
currently use `rgb=false` to represent this "we don't know" state, and
we use XTGETTCAP and DECRQSS queries to determine at runtime if the
terminal supports truecolor. However, if $COLORTERM is set to a value
besides "truecolor" or "24bit" (e.g. "256" or "16) that is a clear
indication that the terminal _does not_ support truecolor, so it is
incorrect to treat `rgb=false` as "we don't know" in that case.
Instead, in the TUI process we only check for the terminfo capabilities.
This must be done in the TUI process because we do not have access to
this information in the core Neovim process when `_defaults.lua` runs.
If the TUI cannot determine truecolor support from terminfo alone, we
set `rgb=false` to indicate "we don't know if the terminal supports
truecolor yet, keep checking". When we get to `_defaults.lua`, we can
then check $COLORTERM and only query the terminal if it is unset.
This means that users can explicitly opt out of truecolor determination
by setting `COLORTERM=256` (or similar) in their environment.
Problem: Fix added in #28676 worked accidentally(used variables were
themselves uninitialized at this point during startup) and
does not always work.
Solution: Reset attributes when clearing regions during startup.
Problem: Invalidated regions that are flushed during startup are
cleared with unitialized "clear_attrs", which is perceived as
flickering.
Solution: Initialize "clear_attrs" with current terminal background color.
Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.

This is the first installment of a multi-PR series significantly
refactoring how highlights are being specified.
The end goal is to have a base set of 20 ish most common highlights,
and then specific files only need to add more groups to that as needed.
As a complicating factor, we also want to migrate to the new default
color scheme eventually. But by sharing a base set, that future PR
will hopefully be a lot smaller since a lot of tests will be migrated
just simply by updating the base set in place.
As a first step, fix the anti-pattern than Screen defaults to ignoring
highlights. Highlights are integral part of the screen state, not
something "extra" which we only test "sometimes". For now, we still
allow opt-out via the intentionally ugly
screen._default_attr_ids = nil
The end goal is to get rid of all of these eventually (which will be
easier as part of the color scheme migration)
The first describe() block enters terminal mode in before_each(), so
feed_command() at the start of a test case writes it to the terminal
instead of executing it.
There is no test for using 'cursorline' in Normal mode in a terminal
buffer, so add a test and fix 'cursorcolumn' remaining when entering
Terminal mode.
Also move synIDattr() tests to ui/highlight_spec.lua.
With "intermediate" flag, only using minimal timeout is too short and
may lead to failures.
Also remove the fallback timeout in screen:expect_unchanged(), as having
a different fallback timeout than screen:expect() is confusing.
Problem: `tui->space_buf` may be smaller than the width of the TUI or widest
grid, causing an overflow when calling `tui_grid_clear` if `print_spaces` is
called from `clear_region` (clears the TUI's screen since #23428).
Solution: resize `space_buf` to be wide enough to fit the TUI or widest grid.
Didn't bother shrinking the allocation if the max widths decrease.
Problems:
1. The test case for querying truecolor support did not check which
capabilities were queried
2. The test case for querying truecolor support checked `&termguicolors`
in the Nvim test runner, not the child Nvim in the the embedded
terminal
3. The test case for querying truecolor support did not actually respond
to the XTGETTCAP requests. `'termguicolors'` is still enabled even
without responding to this query because libvterm understands and
responds to the DECRQSS request, but it is still good to respond to
the query explicitly instead of depending on hidden libvterm behavior
4. No test case exists at all for OSC 52
Solution:
Fix all of the problems listed above.
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.
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.
This commit implements a new TermRequest autocommand event and has Neovim
emit this event when children of terminal buffers emit an OSC or DCS sequence
libvterm does not handle.
The TermRequest autocommand event has additional data in the
v:termrequest variable.

Since execl() is a variadic function, it requries a NULL-terminal to
indicate the end of its argument list, c.f. exec(3)
> The first argument, by convention, should point to the filename
> associated with the file being executed. The list of arguments *must*
> be terminated by a null pointer
This fixes the failure seen on aarch64 and i386, due to garbage data
being considered part of the variadic arguments.
Problem: Updating default color scheme produced some feedback.
Solution: Address the feedback.
Outline of the changes:
- Colors `Grey1` and `Grey2` are made a little bit more extreme (dark -
darker, light - lighter) to increase overall contrast.
- `gui` colors are treated as base with `cterm` colors falling back to
using 0-15 colors which come from terminal emulator.
- Update highlight group definition to not include attribute definition
if it is intended to staty uncolored.
- Tweak some specific highlight groups.
- Add a list of Neovim specific highlight groups which are now defined
differently in a breaking way.
- Minor tweaks in several other places related to default color scheme.
