Problem: buffer text with composing chars are converted from UTF-8
to an array of up to seven UTF-32 values and then converted back
to UTF-8 strings.
Solution: Convert buffer text directly to UTF-8 based schar_T values.
The limit of the text size is now in schar_T bytes, which is currently
31+1 but easily could be raised as it no longer multiplies the size
of the entire screen grid when not used, the full size is only required
for temporary scratch buffers.
Also does some general cleanup to win_line text handling, which was
unnecessarily complicated due to multibyte rendering being an "opt-in"
feature long ago. Nowadays, a char is just a char, regardless if it consists
of one ASCII byte or multiple bytes.
Use the XTGETTCAP sequence to determine if the host terminal supports
the OSC 52 sequence and, if it does, enable the OSC 52 clipboard
provider by default.
This is only done automatically when all of the following are true:
1. Nvim is running in the TUI
2. 'clipboard' is not set to unnamed or unnamedplus
3. g:clipboard is unset
4. Nvim is running in an SSH connection ($SSH_TTY is set)
5. Nvim is not running inside tmux ($TMUX is unset)
The 'termsync' option enables a mode (provided the underlying terminal
supports it) where all screen updates during a redraw cycle are buffered
and drawn together when the redraw is complete. This eliminates tearing
or flickering in cases where Nvim redraws slower than the terminal
redraws the screen.
refactor!: `vim.lsp.inlay_hint()` -> `vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()`
Problem:
The LSP specification allows inlay hints to include tooltips, clickable
label parts, and code actions; but Neovim provides no API to query for
these.
Solution:
Add minimal viable extension point from which plugins can query for
inlay hints in a range, in order to build functionality on top of.

- Add `virt_text_idx` field to `vim.fn.getmousepos()` return value, for
usage in mappings of `<LeftMouse>`, `<C-LeftMouse>`, etc
Problem: No way to have extmarks automatically removed when the range it
is attached to is deleted.
Solution: Add new 'invalidate' property that will hide a mark when the
entirety of its range is deleted. When "undo_restore" is set
to false, delete the mark from the buffer instead.
When the terminal emulator sends an OSC sequence to Nvim (as a response
to another OSC sequence that was first sent by Nvim), populate the OSC
sequence in the v:termresponse variable and fire the TermResponse event.
The escape sequence is also included in the "data" field of the
autocommand callback when the autocommand is defined in Lua.
This makes use of the already documented but unimplemented TermResponse
event. This event exists in Vim but is only fired when Vim receives a
primary device attributes response.

It is a design goal of extmarks that they allow precise tracking
of changes across undo/redo, including restore the exact positions
after a do/undo or undo/redo cycle. However this behavior is not useful
for all usecases. Many plugins won't keep marks around for long after
text changes, but uses them more like a cache until some external source
(like LSP semantic highlights) has fully updated to changed text and
then will explicitly readjust/replace extmarks as needed.
Add a "undo_restore" flag which is true by default (matches existing
behavior) but can be set to false to opt-out of this behavior.
Delete dead u_extmark_set() code.
While the interfaces for setting number and boolean options are now unified by #25394, there is still a separate `set_string_option` function that is used for setting a string option. This PR removes that function and merges it with set_option.
BREAKING CHANGE: `v:option_old` is now the old global value for all global-local options, instead of just string global-local options. Local value for a global-local number/boolean option is now unset when the option is set (e.g. using `:set` or `nvim_set_option_value`) without a scope, which means they now behave the same way as string options.
Ref: #25672
BREAKING CHANGE: This breaks the OptionSet autocommand, as the `v:` values associated with it (`v:option_new`, `v:option_old`, `v:option_oldlocal` and `v:option_oldglobal`) are now the same type as the option, instead of all option values being converted to strings.
Problem:
On Windows, "gf" fails on a filepath that has a line:column suffix.
Example:
E447: Can't find file "src/app/core/services/identity/identity.service.ts:64:23"
Solution:
- Remove ":" from 'isfname' on Windows. Colon is not a valid filename
character (except for the drive-letter).
- Handle drive letters specially in file_name_in_line().
Fixes#25160
Problem:
The swapfile "E325: ATTENTION" dialog is displayed when editing a file
already open in another (running) Nvim. Usually this behavior is
annoying and irrelevant:
- "Recover" and the other options ("Open readonly", "Quit", "Abort") are
almost never wanted.
- swapfiles are less relevant for "multi-Nvim" since 'autoread' is
enabled by default.
- Even less relevant if user enables 'autowrite'.
Solution:
Define a default SwapExists handler which does the following:
1. If the swapfile is owned by a running Nvim process, automatically
chooses "(E)dit anyway" (caveat: this creates a new, extra swapfile,
which is mostly harmless and ignored except by `:recover` or `nvim -r`.
2. Shows a 1-line "ignoring swapfile..." message.
3. Users can disable the default SwapExists handler via `autocmd! nvim_swapfile`.
Problem:
NVIM_APPNAME does not allow path separators in the name, so relative
paths can't be used:
NVIM_APPNAME="neovim-configs/first-config" nvim
NVIM_APPNAME="neovim-configs/second-config" nvim
Solution:
Let NVIM_APPNAME be a relative path. Absolute paths are not supported.

A lot of updated places in the docs were already incorrect since long
since they did not reflect the default behaviour.
"[dos format]" could've been argued being better for discoverability
but that ship has already sailed as it is no longer displayed by default.
Not everything needs to be crazy overconfigurable.
Also fixes a warning in latest clang which didn't approve of
the funky math switch statement in append_arg_number
The name for_each_child is misleading and caused bugs.
After #25111, #25115, there are no more usages of `for_each_child` in Nvim.
In the future if we want to restore this functionality we can consider a
generalized vim.traverse(node, key, visitor) function.
The removes the previous restriction that nvim_buf_set_extmark()
could not be used to highlight arbitrary multi-line regions
The problem can be summarized as follows: let's assume an extmark with a
hl_group is placed covering the region (5,0) to (50,0) Now, consider
what happens if nvim needs to redraw a window covering the lines 20-30.
It needs to be able to ask the marktree what extmarks cover this region,
even if they don't begin or end here.
Therefore the marktree needs to be augmented with the information covers
a point, not just what marks begin or end there. To do this, we augment
each node with a field "intersect" which is a set the ids of the
marks which overlap this node, but only if it is not part of the set of
any parent. This ensures the number of nodes that need to be explicitly
marked grows only logarithmically with the total number of explicitly
nodes (and thus the number of of overlapping marks).
Thus we can quickly iterate all marks which overlaps any query position
by looking up what leaf node contains that position. Then we only need
to consider all "start" marks within that leaf node, and the "intersect"
set of that node and all its parents.
Now, and the major source of complexity is that the tree restructuring
operations (to ensure that each node has T-1 <= size <= 2*T-1) also need
to update these sets. If a full inner node is split in two, one of the
new parents might start to completely overlap some ranges and its ids
will need to be moved from its children's sets to its own set.
Similarly, if two undersized nodes gets joined into one, it might no
longer completely overlap some ranges, and now the children which do
needs to have the have the ids in its set instead. And then there are
the pivots! Yes the pivot operations when a child gets moved from one
parent to another.
Problem: Now way to show text at the bottom part of floating window
border (a.k.a. "footer").
Solution: Allows `footer` and `footer_pos` config fields similar to
`title` and `title_pos`.
