Having the user set `v:lnum` before calling `nvim_eval_statusline()` is
unnecesarily fragile. Redraws inbetween setting `v:lnum` and the
`nvim_eval_statusline()` call will overwrite `v:lnum`.
Problem:
Codebase inconsistently binds vim.api onto a or api.
Solution:
Use api everywhere. a as an identifier is too short to have at the
module level.
Problem: Can not get all extmarks in a buffer. Properties are missing
from the details array.
Solution: Allow getting all extmarks in a buffer by supplying a -1
"ns_id". Add missing properties to the details array.
Problem: No way to get the actual highlight attributes for a linked
group through |nvim_get_hl()| (not the attributes from the link target).
Solution: Return the actual attributes as well as the link target name.
fix(api): use local LastSet structure in nvim_get_option_info
* nvim_get_option_info is deprecated.
It is always using the global LastSet information as reported in #15232.
* nvim_get_option_info2 is added.
The new function additionally accepts an 'opts' table {scope, buf, win}
allowing to specify the option scope and query local options from another
buffer or window.
Problem: no way of getting all highlight group definitions in a namespace.
Solution: add `nvim_get_hl()`, deprecate `nvim_get_hl_by_name()` and `nvim_get_hl_by_id()`.
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.
Problem:
No easy way to position a LSP hover window relative to mouse.
Solution:
Introduce another option to the `relative` key in `nvim_open_win()`.
With this PR it should be possible to override the handler and do something
similar to this https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/19481#issuecomment-1193248674
to have hover information displayed from the mouse.
Test case:
```lua
local util = require('vim.lsp.util')
local function make_position_param(window, offset_encoding)
window = window or 0
local buf = vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(window)
local row, col
local mouse = vim.fn.getmousepos()
row = mouse.line
col = mouse.column
offset_encoding = offset_encoding or util._get_offset_encoding(buf)
row = row - 1
local line = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines(buf, row, row + 1, true)[1]
if not line then
return { line = 0, character = 0 }
end
if #line < col then
return { line = 0, character = 0 }
end
col = util._str_utfindex_enc(line, col, offset_encoding)
return { line = row, character = col }
end
local make_params = function(window, offset_encoding)
window = window or 0
local buf = vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(window)
offset_encoding = offset_encoding or util._get_offset_encoding(buf)
return {
textDocument = util.make_text_document_params(buf),
position = make_position_param(window, offset_encoding),
}
end
local hover_timer = nil
vim.o.mousemoveevent = true
vim.keymap.set({ '', 'i' }, '<MouseMove>', function()
if hover_timer then
hover_timer:close()
end
hover_timer = vim.defer_fn(function()
hover_timer = nil
local params = make_params()
vim.lsp.buf_request(
0,
'textDocument/hover',
params,
vim.lsp.with(vim.lsp.handlers.hover, {
silent = true,
focusable = false,
relative = 'mouse',
})
)
end, 500)
return '<MouseMove>'
end, { expr = true })
```
This is needed for #18375 for the obvious reasons.
note: verbose_terminfo_event is only temporarily needed
until the full TUI process refactor is merged.

Adds a `name` key to the opts dict passed to Lua command callbacks
created using `nvim_create_user_command()`. This is useful for when
multiple commands use the same callback.
Note that this kind of behavior is not as strange as one might think,
even some internal Neovim commands reuse the same internal C function,
differing their behavior by checking the command name. `substitute`,
`smagic` and `snomagic` are examples of that.
This will also be useful for generalized Lua command preview functions
that can preview a wide range of commands, in which case knowing the
command name is necessary for the preview function to actually be able
to execute the command that it's supposed to preview.
Problem: Unlike `:autocmd`, `nvim_create_autocommand()` does not expand
environment variables in the `pattern`, which is unexpected.
Solution: Add a note to the documentation explaining this and suggesting
using `expand()` explicitly.
Problem:
The {foo} parameters listed in `:help api` and similar generated docs,
are intended to be a "list" but they aren't prefixed with a list symbol.
This prevents parsers from understanding the list, which forces
generators like `gen_help_html.lua` to use hard-wrapped/preformatted
layout instead of a soft-wrapped "flow" layout.
Solution:
Modify gen_vimdoc.py to prefix {foo} parameters with a "•" symbol.
I don't think using an integer as a NUL-terminated string can work on
big-endian systems, at least.
This is also not tested. Add a test.
Also fix a mistake in the docs of nvim_parse_cmd.
