Problem: moving in the buffer list doesn't work as documented
(SenileFelineS)
Solution: Skip non-help buffers, when run from normal buffers, else
only move from help buffers to the next help buffer (LemonBoy)
As explained in the help section for :bnext and :bprev the commands
should jump from help buffers to help buffers (and from regular ones to
regular ones).

This is a breaking change which will make refactor of typval and shada
code a lot easier. In particular, code that would use or check for
v:msgpack_types.binary in the wild would be broken. This appears to be
rarely used in existing plugins.
Also some cases where v:msgpack_type.string would be used to represent a
binary string of "string" type, we use a BLOB instead, which is
vimscripts native type for binary blobs, and already was used for BIN
formats when necessary.
msgpackdump(msgpackparse(data)) no longer preserves the distinction
of BIN and STR strings. This is very common behavior for
language-specific msgpack bindings. Nvim uses msgpack as a tool to
serialize its data. Nvim is not a tool to bit-perfectly manipulate
arbitrary msgpack data out in the wild.
The changed tests should indicate how behavior changes in various edge
cases.
Suggest adding them to news.txt instead.
Also don't ignore changes to intro.txt and sponsor.txt, as they don't
change much these days, and it's necessary to consider whether to
include their changes in Nvim's intro.txt.
Problem: Current instance of last search pattern not easily spotted.
Solution: Add CurSearch highlighting. (closesvim/vim#10133)

Some code is superseded by later patches that are already ported.

Problem: A custom 'statuscolumn' needs to check a bunch of options and
placed signs to replicate the default number column.
Solution: Rework %l item to include the necessary logic to mimic the
default number column. Remove now redundant %r item.
When libvterm receives the OSC 52 escape sequence it ignores it because
Nvim does not set any selection callbacks. Install selection callbacks
that forward to the clipboard provider, so that setting the clipboard
with OSC 52 in the embedded terminal writes to the system clipboard
using the configured clipboard provider.
Problem: There is no easy way to configure the behavior of the default
diagnostic "jump" mappings. For example, some users way want to show the
floating window, and some may not (likewise, some way want to only move
between warnings/errors, or disable the "wrap" parameter).
Solution: Add a "jump" table to vim.diagnostic.config() that sets
default values for vim.diagnostic.jump().
Alternatives: Users can override the default mappings to use the exact
options to vim.diagnostic.jump() that they want, but this has a couple
issues:
- While the default mappings are not complicated, they are also not
trivial, so overriding them requires users to understand
implementation details (specifically things like setting "count"
properly).
- If plugins want to change the default mappings, or configure the
behavior in any way (e.g. floating window display), it becomes even
harder for users to tweak specific behavior.
vim.diagnostic.config() already works quite well as the "entry point"
for tuning knobs with diagnostic UI elements, so this fits in nicely and
composes well with existing mental models and idioms.
In command_line_scan() for MSWIN, expand "~\" or "~/" prefixed paths to
the USERPROFILE environment variable for the user's profile directory.

Problem: `CompleteDone` currently does not specify the reason for why completion was done, which is problematic for completion plugins as they cannot know whether the event was triggered due to the completion being canceled, accepted, or for some other reason.
Solution: Add a `reason` key to `v:event`, which is set by `CompleteDone` to indicate why completion ended.
Problem:
Higher-priority signs may be hidden by lower-priority signs.
Solution:
Place higher-priority signs from the left.
Example:
nvim_buf_set_extmark(0, ns, 0, -1, {sign_text='H', priority=1})
nvim_buf_set_extmark(0, ns, 0, -1, {sign_text='W', priority=2})
nvim_buf_set_extmark(0, ns, 0, -1, {sign_text='E', priority=3})
Before:
| |
H | W E |
^ | |
Not visible
After:
| |
| E W | H
| | ^
Not visible
Fixes#16632
Problem:
`vim.rpcnotify(0)` and `rpcnotify(0)` are documented as follows:
If {channel} is 0, the event is broadcast to all channels.
But that's not actually true. Channels must call `nvim_subscribe` to
receive "broadcast" events, so it's actually "multicast".
- Assuming there is a use-case for "broadcast", the current model adds
an extra step for broadcasting: all channels need to "subscribe".
- The presence of `nvim_subscribe` is a source of confusion for users,
because its name implies something more generally useful than what it
does.
Presumably the use-case of `nvim_subscribe` is to avoid "noise" on RPC
channels not expected a broadcast notification, and potentially an error
if the channel client reports an unknown event.
Solution:
- Deprecate `nvim_subscribe`/`nvim_unsubscribe`.
- If applications want to multicast, they can keep their own multicast
list. Or they can use `nvim_list_chans()` and `nvim_get_chan_info()`
to enumerate and filter the clients they want to target.
- Always send "broadcast" events to ALL channels. Don't require channels
to "subscribe" to receive broadcasts. This matches the documented
behavior of `rpcnotify()`.

Problem:
The nvim_win_xx_ns function family introduced in ba0370b1d7
needs more bake-time. Currently it's narrowly defined for windows, but
other scopes ("buffer") and features are likely in the future.
Solution:
- Rename the API with double-underscore to mark it as EXPERIMENTAL.
TODO/FUTURE:
- Rename and change the signature to support more than just "window"
scope, and for other flexibility.
- Open question: we could choose either:
- "store scopes on namespaces", or
- "store namespaces on scopes (w:/b:/…)"
Problem:
The file watcher backends for Linux have too many limitations and
doesn't work reliably.
Solution:
disable didChangeWatchedFiles on Linux
Ref: #27807, #28058, #23291, #26520
Rename the field `result` to `params` in the `data` table for
`LspProgress` autocmds. This aligns with LspNotify.
The previous name was chosen because the initial handler implementation
mistakenly had a parameter name `result` instead of `params` for the
`$/progress` LSP "notification" handler. However, `params` would be a
more appropriate name that is more consistent with the underlying LSP
type (`ProgressParams`).

Revert the default LSP mappings before the 0.10 release as these might
need some further consideration. In particular, it's not clear if "c"
prefixed maps in Normal mode are acceptable as defaults since they
interfere with text objects or operator ranges.
We will re-introduce default mappings at the beginning of the 0.11
release cycle, this reversion is only for the imminent 0.10 release.
reverts e0d92b9cc2#28502
Problem:
`vim.ui.open()` has a `pcall()` like signature, under the assumption
that this is the Lua idiom for returning result-or-error. However, the
`result|nil, errmsg|nil` pattern:
- has precedent in:
- `io.open`
- `vim.uv` (`:help luv-error-handling`)
- has these advantages:
- Can be used with `assert()`:
```
local result, err = assert(foobar())
```
- Allows LuaLS to infer the type of `result`:
```
local result, err = foobar()
if err then
...
elseif result then
...
end
```
Solution:
- Revert to the `result|nil, errmsg|nil` pattern.
- Document the pattern in our guidelines.
Problem:
Inlay hints `enable()` does not fully implement the `:help dev-lua` guidelines:
Interface conventions ~
- When accepting a buffer id, etc., 0 means "current buffer", nil means "all
buffers". Likewise for window id, tabpage id, etc.
- Examples: |vim.lsp.codelens.clear()| |vim.diagnostic.enable()|
Solution:
Implement globally enabling inlay hints.
* refactor(lsp): do not rely on `enable` to create autocmds
* refactor(lsp): make `bufstates` a defaulttable
* refactor(lsp): make `bufstate` inherit values from `globalstate`
* feat(lsp): `vim.lsp.inlay_hints` now take effect on all buffers by default
* test(lsp): add basic tests for enable inlay hints for all buffers
* test(lsp): add test cases cover more than one buffer
Follow-up to #28490
Problem:
The new behaviour of goto_next/prev() of navigating to the next highest
severity doesn't work well when diagnostic providers have different
interpretations of severities. E.g. the user may be blocked from
navigating to a useful LSP warning, due to some linter error.
Solution:
The behaviour of next highest severity is now a hidden option
`_highest = true`. We can revisit how to integrate this behaviour
during the 0.11 cycle.
Problem:
The new LSP "refactor menu" keybinding "crr" is also defined in visual
mode, which overlaps with the builtin "c".
Solution:
Use CTRL-R instead of "crr" for visual mode.
fix#28528
Based on feedback from #28324, pass -H and -I to regular grep
(available on all platforms officially supported by Neovim), and
only pass -uu to ripgrep. This makes :grep ignore binary files by
default in both cases.
Problem:
vim.iter has both `rfind()` and various `*back()` methods, which work
in "reverse" or "backwards" order. It's inconsistent to have both kinds
of names, and "back" is fairly uncommon (rust) compared to python
(rfind, rstrip, rsplit, …).
Solution:
- Remove `nthback()` and let `nth()` take a negative index.
- Because `rnth()` looks pretty obscure, and because it's intuitive
for a function named `nth()` to take negative indexes.
- Rename `xxback()` methods to `rxx()`.
- This informally groups the "list-iterator" functions under a common
`r` prefix, which helps discoverability.
- Rename `peekback()` to `pop()`, in duality with the existing `peek`.
vim.notify cannot be suppressed and it is not always necessary to
display a visible warning to the user if the RPC process fails to start.
For instance, a user may have the same LSP configuration across systems,
some of which may not have all of the LSP server executables installed.
In that case, the user receives a notification every time a file is
opened that they cannot suppress.
Instead of using vim.notify in vim.lsp.rpc, propagate a normal error up
through the call stack and use vim.notify in vim.lsp.start() only if
the "silent" option is not set.
This also updates lsp.start_client() to return an error message as its
second return value if an error occurred, rather than calling vim.notify
directly. Callers of lsp.start_client() will need to update call sites
appropriately if they wish to report errors to the user (or even better,
switch to vim.lsp.start).
Problem:
`vim.ui.open` unnecessarily invents a different success/failure
convention. Its return type was changed in 57adf8c6e0, so we might as
well change it to have a more conventional form.
Solution:
Change the signature to use the `pcall` convention of `status, result`.
