Problem: Bundled 'vim' color scheme is written in Vimscript which
implicitly assumes that the file is ported from Vim.
This is not the case, at it is currently the Neovim's way of providing
backward compatibility for color schemes.
Solution: Rewrite it in Lua to indicate that this runtime file comes
from Neovim.
Diagnostic signs should now be configured with vim.diagnostic.config(),
but "legacy" sign definitions should go through the standard deprecation
process to minimize the impact from breaking changes.
Problem: Updating default color scheme produced some feedback.
Solution: Address the feedback.
Outline of the changes:
- Colors `Grey1` and `Grey2` are made a little bit more extreme (dark -
darker, light - lighter) to increase overall contrast.
- `gui` colors are treated as base with `cterm` colors falling back to
using 0-15 colors which come from terminal emulator.
- Update highlight group definition to not include attribute definition
if it is intended to staty uncolored.
- Tweak some specific highlight groups.
- Add a list of Neovim specific highlight groups which are now defined
differently in a breaking way.
- Minor tweaks in several other places related to default color scheme.
Problem: We have `P_(BOOL|NUM|STRING)` macros to represent an option's type, which is redundant because `OptValType` can already do that. The current implementation of option type flags is also too limited to allow adding multitype options in the future.
Solution: Remove `P_(BOOL|NUM|STRING)` and replace it with a new `type_flags` attribute in `vimoption_T`. Also do some groundwork for adding multitype options in the future.
Side-effects: Attempting to set an invalid keycode option (e.g. `set t_foo=123`) no longer gives an error.
Problem: Unpaired marks are invalidated if its column is deleted,
which may just be a "placeholder" column, e.g. for signs.
Solution: Only remove unpaired marks if its entire row is deleted.
Problem:
Unlike termopen(), nvim_open_term() PTYs do not carriage-return the
cursor on newline ("\n") input.
nvim --clean
:let chan_id = nvim_open_term(1, {})
:call chansend(chan_id, ["here", "are", "some", "lines"])
Actual behavior:
here
are
some
lines
Expected behaviour:
here
are
some
lines
Solution:
Add `force_crlf` option, and enable it by default.
uv_close asserts that a handle is not already closing. We can guard
against this assertion failure by manually checking the handle's closing
status ourselves.
Problem: line2byte behavior is changed after commit b051b13. It no
longer return `-1` on empty buffer.
Solution: use `nof_ff` instead of `!ff_dos` as condition. Then
compatible behavior of line2byte() is restored.
This is the command invoked repeatedly to make the changes:
:%s/^\(.*\)|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$\n\1|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$/\=submatch(1)..'|*'..(max([str2nr(submatch(2)),1])+max([str2nr(submatch(3)),1]))/g
Allow a "*count" suffix in a screen line to repeat the screen line for
"count" times.
The change is made to Screen:expect() and Screen:get_snapshot() instead
of Screen:render() so that screen expectations generated using code can
still work and test failures can still be readable.
A snapshot is now also printed on failure so that there is no need to
run the test again with Screen:snapshot_util().
Problem: Many places in the code use `findoption()` to access an option using its name, even if the option index is available. This is very slow because it requires looping through the options array over and over.
Solution: Use option index instead of name wherever possible. Also introduce an `OptIndex` enum which contains the index for every option as enum constants, this eliminates the need to pass static option names as strings.
Rather than writing the synchronized update begin and end sequences into
the TUI's internal buffer (where it is later flushed to the TTY), write
these sequences directly to the TTY before and after the TUI's internal
buffer is itself flushed to the TTY.
This guarantees that a synchronized update is always used when we are
actually sending data to the TTY. This means we do not need to keep
track of the TUI's "dirty" state (any sequences which affect the TUI
state will be written in the TUI's internal buffer, which is now
guaranteed to only ever be written when a synchronized update is
active).
When we convert a Lua table to an Object, we consider the table a
"dictionary" if it contains only string keys, and an array if it
contains all numeric indices with no gaps. While rare, Lua tables can
have both strictly numeric indices and gaps (e.g. { [2] = 2 }). These
currently cannot be serialized because it is not considered an array.
However, we know the maximum index of the table and as long as all of
the keys in the table are numeric, it is still possible to serialize
this table as an array. The missing indices will have nil values.
Problem: The entire marktree needs to be traversed each time a sign is
removed from the sentinel line.
Solution: Remove sentinel line and instead keep track of the number of
lines that hold up the 'signcolumn' in "max_count". Adjust this
number for added/removed signs, and set it to 0 when the
maximum number of signs on a line changes. Only when
"max_count" is decremented to 0 due to sign removal do we need
to check the entire buffer.
Also replace "invalid_top" and "invalid_bot" with a map of
invalid ranges, further reducing the number of lines to be
checked.
Also improve tree traversal when counting the number of signs.
Instead of looping over the to be checked range and counting
the overlap for each row, keep track of the overlap in an
array and add this to the count.
Problem:
Since e057b38e70#20757 we support empty key in JSON encode/decode,
but we don't allow it in RPC object => Vim dict conversion. But empty
string is a valid key in Vim dicts and the msgpack spec.
Empty string key was disallowed in 7c01d5ff92 (2014) but that
commit/PR doesn't explicitly discuss it, so presumably it was a "seems
reasonable" decision (or Vimscript didn't allow empty keys until later).
Solution:
Remove the check in `object_to_vim()`. Note that
`tv_dict_item_alloc_len` will invoke `memcpy(…, 0)` but that's allowed
by the C spec: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3751937/152142
Currently, the value of $COLORTERM in :terminal in tests depends on
outer environment because of 'notermguicolors'.
If $COLORTERM is not set in :terminal, an inner Nvim instance will try
to detect 'termguicolors' support, which may interfere with tests.
So set 'termguicolors' in outer Nvim instance unless $COLORTERM needs to
be overridden, and unset it in inner Nvim instance when running TUI.
