we cannot remove 'paste'. It is very common in plugins and configs.
'pastetoggle' can and should be removed though, it's a total waste of everyone's time because it generates bug reports and doesn't work well, and is useless because bracketed-paste works better.
Problem:
The function name `vim.pretty_print`:
1. is verbose, which partially defeats its purpose as sugar
2. does not draw from existing precedent or any sort of convention
(except external projects like penlight or python?), which reduces
discoverability, and degrades signaling about best practices.
Solution:
- Rename to `vim.print`.
- Change the behavior so that
1. strings are printed without quotes
2. each arg is printed on its own line
3. tables are indented with 2 instead of 4 spaces
- Example:
:lua ='a', 'b', 42, {a=3}
a
b
42
{
a = 3
}
Comparison of alternatives:
- `vim.print`:
- pro: consistent with Lua's `print()`
- pro: aligns with potential `nvim_print` API function which will
replace nvim_echo, nvim_notify, etc.
- con: behaves differently than Lua's `print()`, slightly misleading?
- `vim.echo`:
- pro: `:echo` has similar "pretty print" behavior.
- con: inconsistent with Lua idioms.
- `vim.p`:
- pro: very short, fits with `vim.o`, etc.
- con: not as discoverable as "echo"
- con: less opportunity for `local p = vim.p` because of potential shadowing.
scroll_delta contains how much the top line of a window moved since the
last time win_viewport was emitted. It is expected to be used to
implement smooth scrolling. For this purpose it only counts "virtual" or
"displayed" so folds should count as one line. Because of this it
adds extra information that cannot be computed from the topline
parameter.

Problem:
Some built-in ftplugins set omnifunc/tagfunc/formatexpr which causes
lsp.lua:set_defaults() to skip setup of defaults for those filetypes.
For example the C++ ftplugin has:
omnifunc=ccomplete#Complete
Last set from /usr/share/nvim/runtime/ftplugin/c.vim line 30
so the changes done in #95c65a6b221fe6e1cf91e8322e7d7571dc511a71
will always be skipped for C++ files.
Solution:
Overwrite omnifunc/tagfunc/formatexpr options that were set by stock
ftplugin.

Problem:
If vim_tempdir mysteriously goes missing (typically by "antivirus" on
Windows), any plugins using tempname() will be broken for the rest of
the session. #1432#9833https://groups.google.com/g/vim_use/c/ef55jNm5czI
Steps:
mkdir foo
TMPDIR=./foo nvim
:echo tempname()
!rm -r foo
:echo tempname()
tempname() still uses the foo path even though it was deleted.
Solution:
- Don't assume that vim_tempdir exists.
- If it goes missing once, retry vim_mktempdir and log (silently) an error.
- If it goes missing again, retry vim_mktempdir and show an error.

When a buffer update callback is called, textlock is active so buffer
text cannot be changed, but cursor can still be moved. This can cause
problems when the buffer update is in the middle of an operator, like
the one mentioned in #16729. The solution is to save cursor position and
restore it afterwards, like how cursor is saved and restored when
evaluating an <expr> mapping.
Currently files to install in runtime/ is detected by recursive glob
pattern which has two problems:
- cmake needs to do a of work at config time and
build/runtime/cmake_install.cmake becomes HUGE (2.5MB, biggest config file)
- we need to explicitly specify each file suffix used in the entire
runtime, which is duplication of information.
These globs specify every single file in a subdirectory.
Thus, we can just install every runtime/ subdirectory as a single
install command. Furthermore, at the top-level, only .vim and .lua files
need to be installed.
Further possible refactor: we could move files which does not belong
in $PREFIX/runtime out of $REPO/runtime. Then runtime could be installed
with a single install_helper(DIRECTORY ...) command.

Problem:
Help tags like vim.treesitter.language.add() are confusing because
`vim.treesitter.language` is (thankfully) not a user-facing module.
Solution:
Ignore the "fstem" when generating "treesitter" tags.
When toggling anonymous nodes in the :InspectTree window, keep the
cursor fixed relative to the node within the tree. This prevents the
cursor from jumping.
Problem:
"show" is potentially a new verb that we can avoid (there is already
"open" and "echo"). Even if we can't avoid it, the behavior of
`show_tree` fits well in the "inspect" family of functions: a way for
users to introspect/reflect on the state of Nvim.
Existing "inspect" functions:
vim.inspect()
vim.inspect_pos()
vim.treesitter.inspect_language()
nvim__inspect_cell
Solution:
Rename `show_tree` to `inspect_tree`.
Problem:
No easy way to find files under certain directories (ex: grab all files under
`test/`) or exclude the content of certain paths (ex. `build/`, `.git/`)
Solution:
Pass the full `path` as an arg to the predicate.
If the LSP server fails to start then the client never initializes and
thus never calls its on_attach function and an LspAttach event is
never fired. However, the on_exit function still fires a LspDetach
event, so user autocommands that attempt to "clean up" in LspDetach may
run into problems if they assume that the buffer was already attached.
The solution is to only fire an LspDetach event if the buffer was
already attached in the first place.
This feature has long been obsolete. The 'keymap' option can be used
to support language keymaps, including hebrew and hebrewp (phonetic
mapping). There is no need to keep the old c code with hardcoded
keymaps for some languages.

Problem:
Treesitter injections are slow because all injected trees are invalidated on every change.
Solution:
Implement smarter invalidation to avoid reparsing injected regions.
- In on_bytes, try and update self._regions as best we can. This PR just offsets any regions after the change.
- Add valid flags for each region in self._regions.
- Call on_bytes recursively for all children.
- We still need to run the query every time for the top level tree. I don't know how to avoid this. However, if the new injection ranges don't change, then we re-use the old trees and avoid reparsing children.
This should result in roughly a 2-3x reduction in tree parsing when the comment injections are enabled.
This function replaces both vim.treesitter.get_node_at_pos() and
vim.treesitter.get_node_at_cursor(). These two functions are similar
enough that they don't need separate interfaces. Even worse,
get_node_at_pos() returns a TSNode while get_node_at_cursor() returns a
string, so the two functions behave slightly differently.
vim.treesitter.get_node() combines these two into a more streamlined
interface. With no arguments, it returns the node under the cursor in
the current buffer. Optionally, it can accept a buffer number or a
position to get the node at a given position in a given buffer.
Problem:
vim.treesitter does not know how to map a specific filetype to a parser.
This creates problems since in a few places (including in vim.treesitter itself), the filetype is incorrectly used in place of lang.
Solution:
Add an API to enable this:
- Add vim.treesitter.language.add() as a replacement for vim.treesitter.language.require_language().
- Optional arguments are now passed via an opts table.
- Also takes a filetype (or list of filetypes) so we can keep track of what filetypes are associated with which langs.
- Deprecated vim.treesitter.language.require_language().
- Add vim.treesitter.language.get_lang() which returns the associated lang for a given filetype.
- Add vim.treesitter.language.register() to associate filetypes to a lang without loading the parser.
This commit implements the ability to control all of the XDG paths
Neovim should use. This is done by setting an environment variable named
NVIM_APPNAME. For example, setting $NVIM_APPNAME makes Neovim look for
its configuration directory in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NVIM_APPNAME instead of
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim.
If NVIM_APPNAME is not set or is an empty string, "nvim" will be used as
default.
The usecase for this feature is to enable an easy way to switch from
configuration to configuration. One might argue that the various $XDG
environment variables can already be used for this usecase. However,
setting $XDG environment variables also affects tools spawned by Neovim.
For example, while setting $XDG_CONFIG_HOME will enable Neovim to use a
different configuration directory, it will also prevent Git from finding
its "default" configuration.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/21691
According to [AppStream spec](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-id-generic),
the <id> element should contain a reverse-DNS scheme:
{tld}.{vendor}.{product}
Since the flathub requires that, the flatpak build replaces `<id>nvim</id>` with
`<id>io.neovim.nvim</id>`. That results in ID mismatch between flatpak version
and version from distribution's repositories. Because of that, software stores
are displaying two different neovims, instead of one neovim with options to
download it either from flatpak or from distribution's repos. We can use the
`<provides><id>nvim</id></provides>`, for everyone who was expecting the id to
be `nvim`.
This variable was only meant for easy testing during the development
cycle for treesitter highlighting while Lua was the only parser useable
for daily driving. Now that we have a good vimdoc parser, this approach
simply doesn't scale and should be removed sooner rather than later.
Instead of setting this variable, people for now should add the autocommand
directly to their config:
```lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('FileType', {
pattern = 'lua', -- or { 'lua', 'help' }
callback = function() vim.treesitter.start() end,
})
```
(or put `vim.treesitter.start()` in an `ftplugin`).
If nothing matched in match_from_hashbang, also check the file extension table.
For a hashbang like '#!/bin/env foo', this will set the filetype to 'fooscript'
assuming the filetype for the 'foo' extension is 'fooscript' in the extension
table.
The original motivation for this change came from developping
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/22159, which will require adding
more autocommand creation to Neovim's startup sequence.
This change requires lightly editing a test that expected no autocommand
to have been created from lua.

In a few places ipairs was used to iterate over elements of the array.
However, the first return value of ipairs was erronously used, which is
