- Return the menu properties, not only its children.
- If the {path} param is given, return only the first node. The "next"
nodes in the linked-list are irrelevant.
:menu should print sub-menu contents. E.g. this should print the
"File.Save" submenu:
nvim -u NORC
:source $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim
:menu File.Save
Regressed in dc685387a3
Blocks #8173
menu_get() also was missing some results for some cases.
Previously the mouse tests set 'listchars', but not 'list'. Funnily enough, the
space, where the `$` would normally appear, would still use new highlight group.
Set 'list' for good and fix the tests accordingly.
In vim, scrolling a window might mess up the cmdline. To keep it simple,
cmdline was always cleared for any window scroll. In nvim, where safe scrolling
is implemented in the TUI layer, this problem doesn't exist.
Clearing the message on scrolling, when we not do it e.g when switching tabs
is a bit weird, as the former is a much smaller context change.
A vim patch introduced the possibility to avoid the cmdlline clear for
redraws caused by async events. This case will now trivially be covered,
as the redraw is always avoided.
vim-patch:8.0.0592: if a job writes to a buffer screen is not updated
Implement lazy loading for vim.submodule, this would be over-engineering
for inspect only, but we expect to use this solution also for more and
larger modules.
Instead of eager-loading during plugin/* sourcing, define runtime
modules such as `vim.inspect` as lazy builtins. Otherwise non-builtin
Lua modules such as `vim.inspect` would not be available during startup
(init.vim, `-c`, `--cmd`, …).

Move `has_eval_provider()` check to `eval_call_provider()` to make sure that
every code path calls it first.
Previously we would, when pynvim was missing, get a nice error message for
`:python3 1`, but not for `:py3file blah`.

Problem: When 'rnu' is set folded lines are not displayed correctly.
(Vitaly Yashin)
Solution: When only redrawing line numbers do draw folded lines.
(closesvim/vim#3484)
7701f30856
---
Explanation:
Before this patch, relative line numbers would update on a cursor
movement and overwrite fold highlighting in the line number columns.
Other operations can cause the fold highlighting to overwrite the line
number styles. Together, this causes the highlighting in the line number
columns to flicker back and forth while editing.
Test case: create `t.vim` with these contents:
set fdm=marker rnu foldcolumn=2
call setline(1, ["{{{1", "nline 1", "{{{1", "line 2"])
and then call `nvim -u NORC -S t.vim` and press `j`; observe that the fold
highlighting disappears.
There is no need to call update_screen() directly in an API function,
mode input processing invokes update_screen() as needed. And if the API
call is done in a context where redraw is disabled, then redraw is
disabled for a reason. A lot of API functions are of equal semantical
strength (nvim_call_function and nvim_execute_lua can also do whatever,
nvim_command is not special), this inconsistency has no purpose.
Decide whether to highlight the visual-selected character under the
cursor, depending on 'guicursor' style:
- Highlight if cursor is blinking or non-block (vertical, horiz).
- Do NOT highlight if cursor is non-blinking block.
Traditionally Vim's visual selection does "reverse mode", which perhaps
conflicts with the non-blinking block cursor. But 'guicursor' defaults
to a vertical bar for selection=exclusive, and this confuses users who
expect to see the text highlighted.

In Vim (and some vestigial parts of Nvim) E319 was a placeholder for
ex_ni commands, i.e. commands that are only available in certain builds
of Vim. That is obviously counter to Nvim's goals: all Nvim commands
are available on all platforms and build types (the remaining ex_ni
commands are actually just missing providers).
We need an error id for "missing provider", so it makes sense to use
E319 for that purpose.

Up to now g:clipboard["copy"] only supported string values invoked as
system commands.
This commit enables the use of VimL functions instead. The function
signatures are the same as in provider/clipboard.vim. A clipboard
provider is expected to store and return a list of lines (i.e. the text)
and a register type (as seen in setreg()).
cache_enabled is ignored if "copy" is provided by a VimL function.
Problem: Expression evaluation may repeat an error message. (Jason
Franklin)
Solution: Increment did_emsg and check for the value when giving an error
for the echo command.

ref #9028
If stdin closed then read_error_exit calls preserve_exit. Handling
SIGHUP during preserve_exit would cause a premature teardown, and
conflicts with e.g. ui_bridge_stop which waits for TUI to teardown.
Vim ignores SIGHUP in its prepare_to_exit and getout_preserve_modified
routines:
/* Ignore SIGHUP, because a dropped connection causes a read error, which
* makes Vim exit and then handling SIGHUP causes various reentrance
* problems. */
signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN);
Namespaces is a lightweight concept that should be used to group
objects for purposes of bulk operations and introspection. This is
initially used for highlights and virtual text in buffers, and is
planned to also be used for extended marks. There is no plan use them
for privileges or isolation, neither to introduce nanespace-level
options.
By historical accident, Nvim defaults to background=light. So on a dark
background, `:colorscheme default` looks completely wrong.
The "smart" logic that Vim uses is confusing for anyone who uses Vim on
multiple platforms, so rather than mimic that, pick the (hopefully) most
common default.
- Since Neovim is dark-powered, we assume most users have dark backgrounds.
- Most of the GUIs tend to have a dark background by default.

Avoid clearing the screen in most situations. NOT_VALID should be
equivalent to CLEAR unless some external force messed up the terminal,
for these situations <c-l> and :mode will still clear the screen.
Also eliminate some obsolete code in screen.c, that dealt with that in
vim drawing window 1 can mess up window 2, but this never happens in
nvim.
But what about slow terminals? There is two common meanings in which
a terminal is said to be "slow":
Most commonly (and in the sense of vim:s nottyfast) it means low
bandwidth for sending bytes from nvim to the terminal. If the screen is
very similar before and after the update_screen(CLEAR) this change
should reduce bandwidth. If the screen is quite different, but there is
no new regions of contiguous whitespace, clearing doesn't reduce
bandwidth significantly. If the new screen contains a lot of whitespace,
it will depend of if vsplits are used or not: as long as there is no
vsplits, ce is used to cheaply clear the rest of the line, so
full-screen clear is not needed to reduce bandwith. However a left
vsplit currently needs to be padded with whitespace all the way to the
separator. It is possible ec (clear N chars) can be used to reduce
bandwidth here if this is a problem. (All of this assumes that one
doesn't set Normal guibg=... on a non-BCE terminal, if you do you are
doomed regardless of this change).
Slow can also mean that drawing pixels on the screen is slow. E-ink
screens is a recent example. Avoiding clearing and redrawing the
unchanged part of the screen will always improve performance in these
cases.
Sometimes 008_autocommands_spec fails like this:
[ RUN ] autocommands that delete and unload buffers: BufUnload, VimLeave: -- Output to stderr:
CMake Error at /home/travis/build/neovim/neovim/cmake/RunTests.cmake:53 (message):
functional tests failed with error: 1
The final :quit + wait() is a race. Use command() instead, which is
synchronous. Use command('silent! ...') everywhere else too, because
it's clearer instead of feeding input and clearing the expected errors
with CTRL-L.
Problem: Cursorline not removed when using 'cursorbind'. (Justin Keyes)
Solution: Store the last cursor line per window. (closesvim/vim#3488)

tmpdir_get() may be an absolute path, but we invoke glob() with
a relative `initial_path`.
That can lead to this error:
[ ERROR ] test/functional/helpers.lua @ 752: after_each
test/helpers.lua:95: cannot open ./Xtest-tmpdir/nvim8jKCjR: No such file or directory

NB: existing `color default` test was actually enough to trigger the bug,
when ext_newgrid=false is used. I created the `:hi Normal` test as
I thought the builtin colors wouldn't set Normal (unless 'bg' is changed)
But as the root cause actually comes from `:hi Normal`, it makes sense
to still add the separate test (if `color default` here gets optimized to
become a no-op, or something).
