Patch 8.2.2524 added the support for the fields 'foldopen', 'foldclose'
and 'foldsep' to the 'fillchars' option in Vim:
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/8.2/8.2.2524
Update the credits in intro.txt based on Vim credits.
Problem: The eval.txt help file is too big.
Solution: Split off testing support to testing.txt. Move function details
to where the functionality is explained.

In #8226 <A-x> and <M-x> were changed to behave like <Esc>x in insert
mode when no mapping exists. This commit backs out that change and
replaces it with a more general one that makes unmapped ALT and META
keypresses as <Esc>+char in all modes. This fixes an unnecessary and
confusing inconsistency between modes.
* support for :perl, :perlfile, :perldo and perleval()
* document that the perl provider doesn't currently work on Windows
* document that the perl legacy interface is now also supported
* added perleval() documentation
* import legacy perl interface tests
* only perl 5.22+ is supported
* healtcheck: use g:perl_host_prog if its set instead
using just 'perl' isn't correct as it may not be the version requested.
ditto for 'cpanm', rather go through 'App::cpanminus' to find the latest
perl version
- remove redundant autocmd list
This "grouped" list is useless, it only gets in the way when searching
for event names.
- intro.txt: cleanup
- starting.txt: update, revisit
- doc: `:help bisect`
- mbyte.txt: update aliases 1656367b90. closes#11960
- options: remove 'guifontset'. Why:
- It is complicated and is used by almost no one.
- It is unlikely to be implemented by Nvim GUIs (complicated to parse,
specific to Xorg...).
Since 1c3ca4f18f, 2c1d12d0be, #7836, the "unix" and "slash" behavior
of 'sessionoptions'/'viewoptions' is always enabled, and the flags are
just ignored. There is no reason for that behavior to be configurable.

Traditionally, when navigating to a specific location from the middle of
the jumplist results in shifting the current location to the bottom of
the list and adding the new location after it. This behavior is not
desireable to all users--see, for example
https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/18344/how-to-change-jumplist-behavior.
Here, another jumplist behavior is introduced. When jumpoptions (a new
option set added here) includes stack, the jumplist behaves like the
tagstack or like history in a web browser. That is, when navigating to
a location from the middle of the jumplist
2 first
1 second
0 third <-- current location
1 fourth
2 fifth
to a new location the locations after the current location in the jump
list are discarded
2 first
1 second
0 third
<-- current location
The result is that when moving forward from that location, the new
location will be appended to the jumplist:
3 first
2 second
1 third
0 new
If the new location is the same
new == second
as some previous (but not immediately prior) entry in the jumplist,
2 first
1 second
0 third <-- current location
1 fourth
2 fifth
both occurrences preserved
3 first
2 second
1 third
0 second (new)
when moving forward from that location.
It would be desireable to go farther and, when the new location is the
same as the location that is currently next in the jumplist,
new == fourth
make the result of navigating to the new location by jumping (e.g. 50gg)
be the same as moving forward in the jumplist
2 first
1 second
0 third
1 new <-- current location
2 fifth
and simply increment the jumplist index. That change is NOT part of
this patch because it would require passing the new cursor location to
the function (setpcmark) from all of its callees. That in turn would
require those callees to know *before* calling what the new cursor
location is, which do they do not currently.
Having the cursor change column can be surprising.

- Support for multiple auto-adjusted sign columns.
With this change, having more than one sign on a line, and with the
'auto' setting on 'signcolumn', extra columns will shown automatically
to accomodate all the existing signs.
For example, suppose we have this view:
5147 }
5148
5149 return sign->typenr;
5150 }
5151 }
5152 return 0;
5153 }
5154
We have GitGutter installed, so it tells us about modified lines that
are not commmited. So let's change line 5152:
5147 }
5148
5149 return sign->typenr;
5150 }
5151 }
~ 5152 return 0;
5153 }
5154
Now we add a mark over line 5152 using 'ma' in normal mode:
5147 }
5148
5149 return sign->typenr;
5150 }
5151 }
a ~ 5152 return 0;
5153 }
5154
Previously, Vim/Nvim would have picked only one of the signs,
because there was no support for having multiple signs in a line.
- Remove signs from deleted lines.
Suppose we have highlights on a group of lines and we delete them:
+ 6 use std::ops::Deref;
--+ 7 use std::borrow::Cow;
--+ 8 use std::io::{Cursor};
9 use proc_macro2::TokenStream;
10 use syn::export::ToTokens;
--+ 11 use std::io::Write;
>> 12 use std::ops::Deref;
Without this change, these signs will momentarily accumulate in
the sign column until the plugins wake up to refresh them.
+ --+ --+ --+ >> 6
Discussion: It may be better to extend the API a bit and allow this
to happen for only certain types of signs. For example, VIM marks
and vim-gitgutter removal signs may want to be presreved, unlike
line additions and linter highlights.
- 'signcolumn': support 'auto:NUM' and 'yes:NUM' settings
- sort signs according to id, from lowest to highest. If you have
git-gutter, vim-signature, and ALE, it would appear in this order:
git-gutter - vim-signature - ALE.
- recalculate size before screen update
- If no space for all signs, prefer the higher ids (while keeping the
rendering order from low to high).
- Prevent duplicate signs. Duplicate signs were invisible to the user,
before using our extended non-standard signcolumn settings.
- multi signcols: fix bug related to wrapped lines.
In wrapped lines, the wrapped parts of a line did not include the extra
columns if they existed. The result was a misdrawing of the wrapped
parts. Fix the issue by:
1. initializing the signcol counter to 0 when we are on a wrap boundary
2. allowing for the draw of spaces in that case.
Adds a new feature to :autocmd which sets the handler to be executed at
most one times.
Before:
augroup FooGroup
autocmd!
autocmd FileType foo call Foo() | autocmd! FooGroup * <buffer>
augroup END
After:
autocmd FileType foo once call Foo()
Why?
- Because we can.
- Because the TUI is just another GUI™
- Because it looks kinda nice, and provides useful context like 1 out of 100
times
Complies with "don't pay for what you don't use".
Some crashes for resizing were unfolded, add tests for those.
Using 'listchars' is a nice way to highlight tabs that were included by accident
for buffers that set 'expandtab'.
But maybe one does not want this for buffers that set 'noexpandtab', so now one
can use:
autocmd FileType go let &l:listchars .= ',tab: '
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.
closes#8983
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.

This changes Ex mode (Q, -e) to work like Vim's "improved Ex mode"
(gQ, -E). That brings some small behavior differences, but should not
impact most Ex scripts (unless, for example, they depend on mappings
being disabled--but that can be solved for -e by skipping user config).
Before this change:
* the screen test hangs.
After this change:
* Q acts like gQ.
* -e/-es differs from -E/-Es only in its treatment of stdin.
This moves towards potentially removing getexmodeline().
(HINT: That does NOT mean "removing Ex mode", it means removing the
Vi-compatible Ex mode, which differs from Vim's "improved Ex mode" only
in some minor details (e.g. mappings are disabled).)
ref #1089 :-)~
Fixes 2 failing tests in startup_spec.lua.
The Windows-only `--literal` option complicates support of "stdin-as-text
+ file-args" (#7679). Could work around it, but it's not worth
the trouble:
- users have a reasonable (and englightening) alternative: nvim +"n *"
- "always literal" is more consistent/predictable
- avoids platform-specific special-case
Unrelated changes:
- Replace fileno(stdxx) with STDXX_FILENO for consistency (not motivated
by any observed technical reason).
After this change we never release blocks from memory (in practice it
never happened because the memory limits are never reached). Let the OS
take care of that.
---
On today's systems the 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' values are huge (4+ GB)
so the limits are never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of
time checking if the limit was reached.
If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in
memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own
memory-paging mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the
operating system already has virtual memory and will swap to the disk if
programs start using too much memory.
This change does...
1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation.
2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory
usage nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping
to disk every time we need memory for buffers.
3. Simplify the code. Once memfile.c is simple enough it could be
replaced by actual operating system memory mapping (mmap,
MemoryViewOfFile...). This change does not prevent Vim to recover
changes from swap files since the swapping code is never triggered
with the huge limits set by default.
Update vim_diff.txt with :lmap differences, update documentation on
'keymap', and add tests.
The tests added are to demonstrate the behaviour specified in the
documentation of :loadkeymap.
Most fonts should have these by now. Both are a significant visual
improvement.

Get terminal debugging info by starting Nvim with 'verbose' level 3:
nvim -V3log
This is like Vim's `:set termcap`, which was removed in Nvim (and would
be very awkward to restore because of the decoupled UI).
Since "builtin" terminfo definitions were implemented (7cbf52db1b),
the decisions made by tui.c and terminfo.c are more relevant. Exposing
that decision in the 'term' option helps with troubleshooting.
Also: remove code that allowed setting t_Co. `:set t_Co=…` has never
worked; the highlight_spec test asserting that nvim_set_option('t_Co')
_does_ work makes no sense, and should not have worked.
- Prefer "TUI" where possible to refer to the host terminal.
- Remove obsolete tags and ancient TTY exposition.
- Establish "terminal" to consistently mean "terminal emulator" in all
Nvim documentation. This removes the need for verbose qualifiers in
tags and prose.

Almost all of these headings are taken from the Vim doco, so that

TODO: Add a "disable slow stuff" command or mapping to address the
use-case of a very slow terminal connection.
The "technically correct" interpretation is to execute the first line
that is seen (and this is what happens on middle-click paste in Vim).
^M is only intended to "defuse" the newline, so the user can review it.
The parent commit changed the behavior to insert <Space> between lines,
but that's a higher-risk change: it is arguably possible that some user
*wants* the literal ^M chars when e.g. assigning to a register:
:let @a='<C-R>b'
To avoid that risk, keep the old behavior and only omit the last ^M.
This makes `yy:<C-R>0` nicer at no cost.
^M isn't any more "correct" than space: the "technically correct"
interpretation is to execute the first line that is seen (and this is
what happens on middle-click paste in Vim). ^M is only intended to
defuse the newline, so that the user can review the command. We can do
that with a space instead, and then the command can be executed without
having to fix it up first.
This allows executables to be found by :!, system(), and executable() if
they live next to ("sibling" to) nvim.exe. This is what gvim on Windows
does, and also matches the behavior of Win32 SearchPath().

This default causes too much confusion for terminal users. Until
a better approach is implemented, revert to the traditional default.
Better solution would be:
- Implement a right-click menu for TUI
- Set 'mouse=a' *only* if clipboard is working.

This ameliorates use-cases like:
:!cat foo.txt
:make
where the user is interested in the last few lines of output.
Try these shell-based ex-commands before/after this commit:
:grep -r '' *
:make
:!yes
:!grep -r '' *
:!git grep ''
:!cat foo
:!echo foo
:!while true; do date; done
:!for i in `seq 1 20000`; do echo XXXXXXXXXX $i; done
In all cases the last few lines of the command should always be shown,
regardless of where throttling was triggered.
Periodically skip :! spam. This is a "cheat" that works for all UIs and greatly
improves responsiveness when :! spams MB or GB of output:
:!yes
:!while true; do date; done
:!git grep ''
:grep -r '' *
After ~10KB of data is seen from a single :! invocation, output will be skipped
for ~1s and three dots "..." will pulse in the bottom-left. Thereafter the
behavior alternates at every:
* 10KB received
* ~1s throttled
This also avoids out-of-memory which could happen with large :! outputs.
Note: This commit does not change the behavior of execute(':!foo').
execute(':!foo') returns the string ':!foo^M', it captures *only* Vim
messages, *not* shell command output. Vim behaves the same way.
Use system('foo') for capturing shell command output.

Closes#3529Closes#5241
In Vim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
works because for both system() and :! Vim writes input to a temp file and uses
shell syntax to redirect the file to the backgrounded `cat` (get_cmd_output()
.. make_filter_cmd()).
In Nvim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
fails because we write the input directly via pipes (shell.c:do_os_system()),
but (per POSIX[1]) backgrounded process input stream is redirected from
/dev/null (unless overridden by shell redirection; supported only by some shells
[2]), so our writes are ignored, the process exits quickly, and if we are
writing data larger than the buffer size we'll see EPIPE.
This still works:
:%w !tee > foo1358.txt &
but this does not:
:%w !tee foo1358.txt &
though it *should* (why doesn't it?) because we still do the temp file dance
in do_bang() .. do_filter().

[2] http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/71218
These tests are essentially affirming a regression vs Vim. In Vim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
returns "foo", because Vim internally wraps the command with shell-specific
syntax to redirect the streams from /dev/null[1].
That can't work in Nvim because we use pipes directly (instead of temp files)
and don't wrap the command with shell-specific redirection syntax.

In 3b12bb225a, ":oldfiles" was taught to
behave like Vim's ":browse oldfiles" if ":oldfiles!" was used. However,
this conflates the use of ! for abandoning a modified buffer with
choosing one file out of a list of oldfiles.
Now that ":browse" is supported again, ":browse oldfiles" will allow the
user to select an old file, while still complaining if that would cause
a modified buffer to be abandoned. ":browse oldfiles!" will just
abandon the buffer, as expected.
Note: it looks like viminfo files do not store search direction intentionally.
After reading viminfo file search direction was considered to be “forward”.
Note 2: all files created on earlier Neovim version will automatically receive
“forward” direction.
Fixes#3580
From the documentation itself:
:[range]o[pen] Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.
{Vi: start editing in open mode}
...
Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For
those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex
mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole
screen instead of only one line.
Part of the reason behind this is to make removing vi_diff.txt easier,
although it's also because :open is not too useful.
