Problem: There is no easy way to translate a string with a key code into a
readable string.
Solution: Add the keytrans() function. (closesvim/vim#11114)

vim-patch:7b2d87220c6c
Add missing part of patch
7b2d87220c
Problem: There is no way to get the byte index from a virtual column.
Solution: Add virtcol2col(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#10477,
closesvim/vim#10098)

Cherry-pick tv_check_for_number_arg() from Vim.
Cherry-pick pathshorten() doc change.
vim-patch:9.0.0285: it is not easy to change the command line from a plugin
Problem: It is not easy to change the command line from a plugin.
Solution: Add setcmdline(). (Shougo Matsushita, closesvim/vim#10869)

vim-patch:8.2.1536: cannot get the class of a character; emoji widths are wrong
Problem: Cannot get the class of a character; emoji widths are wrong in
some environments.
Solution: Add charclass(). Update some emoji widths. Add script to check
emoji widths.
4e4473c927
Use latest charclass() docs from Vim.
Rewrite DoIt() in emoji_list.vim in Lua.
Omit emoji table updates:
- emoji_width update looks wrong as these added ranges are only double-width when followed by 0xFE0F.
- Other updates are too old.
vim-patch:8.2.1540: the user cannot try out emoji character widths
Problem: The user cannot try out emoji character widths.
Solution: Move the emoji script to the runtime/tools directory.
98945560c1
Problem: It is not possible to specify cell widths of characters.
Solution: Add setcellwidths().

Problem: Menu functionality insufficiently tested.
Solution: Add tests. Add menu_info(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#5760)
0eabd4dc8f
Omit feedkeys() change: even if "L" flag is implemented it will likely
use input_enqueue(), which already checks for interrupts.
Omit Test_mouse_popup_menu(): already tested in Lua.
vim-patch:8.2.4903: cannot get the current cmdline completion type and position
Problem: Cannot get the current cmdline completion type and position.
Solution: Add getcmdcompltype() and getcmdscreenpos(). (Shougo Matsushita,
closesvim/vim#10344)
79d599b877
vim-patch:8.2.4910: imperfect coding
Problem: Imperfect coding.
Solution: Make code nicer.
9ff7d717aa
Problem: Cannot add a digraph with a leading space. It is not easy to list
existing digraphs.
Solution: Add setdigraph(), setdigraphlist(), getdigraph() and
getdigraphlist(). (closesvim/vim#8580)
6106504e9e
Use GA_APPEND_VIA_PTR in registerdigraph().
Use tv_list_append_*() in getdigraphlist_appendpair().
Put the error messages in digraph.c.
E196 is N/A.
Remove mentions about 'encoding' being non-Unicode.
Nvim doesn't support setting encoding=japan, so skip a test.
Problem: Fuzzy matching only works on strings.
Solution: Support passing a dict. Add matchfuzzypos() to also get the match
positions. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#6947)
4f73b8e9cc
Also remove some N/A and seemingly useless NULL checks -- Nvim allocs can't
return NULL. I'm not sure why the retmatchpos stuff in match_fuzzy checks for
NULL too, given that Vim checks for NULL alloc in do_fuzzymatch; assert that the
li stuff is not NULL as that's the one check I'm ever-so-slightly unsure about.
Adjust tests. Note that the text_cb tests actually throw E6000 in Nvim, but we
also can't assert that error due to v8.2.1183 not being ported yet.
Problem: Cannot do fuzzy string matching.
Solution: Add matchfuzzy(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#6932)
635414dd2f
Adjust Test_matchfuzzy's 2nd assert to expect the last error thrown, as
v8.2.1183 hasn't been ported yet (to be honest, the error message is kinda weird
if the 2nd argument is not convertible to string). We can still port this fully
as porting v8.2.1183 would require removing this change to pass CI.
Problem: Not easy to get mark en cursor posotion by character count.
Solution: Add functions that use character index. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,
closesvim/vim#7648)
6f02b00bb0
Problem: Not easy to change directory and restore.
Solution: Add the chdir() function. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#4358)
1063f3d200
Also includes some documentation changes from patch 8.1.1218.
Problem: OS/2 and MS-DOS are still mentioned, even though support was
removed long ago.
Solution: Update documentation. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#5368)
6f345a1458
Problem: Cannot save and restore a register properly.
Solution: Add getreginfo() and make setreg() accept a dictionary. (Andy
Massimino, closesvim/vim#3370)
bb861e293e
Cherry-pick eval.txt changes for getreginfo() from:
6aa57295cf207f009326
Problem: Cannot get composing characters from the screen.
Solution: Add screenchars() and screenstring(). (partly by Ozaki Kiichi,
closesvim/vim#4059)
2912abb3a2
Problem: Cannot use octal numbers in scriptversion 4.
Solution: Add the "0o" notation. (Ken Takata, closesvim/vim#5304)
c17e66c5c0
:scriptversion is N/A.
Cherry-pick latest str2nr() doc changes from v8.1.2035.
Cherry-pick various mentions of the 0o prefix from:
- v8.2.2324
- 2346a63784
- 11e3c5ba82
- 82be4849ee
Patch used ascii_isbdigit() by mistake, which was fixed in v8.2.2309.
Make STR2NR_OOCT work the same as STR2NR_OCT when forcing.
In Vim, STR2NR_FORCE | STR2NR_OOCT isn't handled, and doesn't actually
force anything. Rather than abort(), make it work as STR2NR_OCT.
This means STR2NR_FORCE | STR2NR_OCT works the same as
STR2NR_FORCE | STR2NR_OOCT and STR2NR_FORCE | STR2NR_OCT | STR2NR_OOCT.
Problem: Cannot read back the prompt of a prompt buffer.
Solution: Add prompt_getprompt(). (Ben Jackson, closesvim/vim#6851)
077cc7aa0e
Updated prompt_getprompt() doc to cb80aa2d53
and removed mention of method syntax usage (not supported by Nvim).
...signs is slow
Problem: Placing a larger number of signs is slow.
Solution: Add functions for dealing with a list of signs. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#4636)
Problem: Cannot parse a date/time string.
Solution: Add strptime(). (Stephen Wall, closes #)
10455d43fe
N/A patches for version.c:
vim-patch:8.1.2344: Cygwin: warning for using strptime()
Problem: Cygwin: warning for using strptime().
Solution: Move defining _XOPEN_SOURCE and __USE_XOPEN to vim.h. (Ken Takata,
closesvim/vim#5265) Use 700 for _XOPEN_SOURCE for mkdtemp().
6a228c6463
Problem: Cannot easily get all the current marks.
Solution: Add getmarklist(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#6032)
cfb4b47de0
Cherry-pick the column number fix from patch v8.2.0871
because patch v8.2.0871 cannot be fully ported
without the method patches.

Problem: A plugin cannot easily expand a command like done internally.
Solution: Add the expandcmd() function. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#4514)
80dad48c50
Problem: There is no easy way to manipulate environment variables.
Solution: Add environ(), getenv() and setenv(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto,
