Problem: Cannot append a list of lines to a file.
Solution: Add the append option to writefile(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
https://code.google.com/p/vim/source/detail?r=v7-4-503
-Ported old legacy test over to
test/functional/legacy/writefile_spec.lua
-Tests for mapping and signs from the original patch were removed since
they have nothing to do this with feature
Tested with: make oldtest, make test on OS X.

This removes the ability to start nvim via the following aliases in
favor of just using their command line arguments:
ex vim -e
exim vim -E
view vim -R
gvim vim -g
gex vim -eg
gview vim -Rg
rvim vim -Z
rview vim -RZ
rgvim vim -gZ
rgview vim -RgZ
This also removes Vi mode (-v) for consistency. From ':help -v':
-v Start Ex in Vi mode. Only makes a difference when the
executable is called "ex" or "gvim". For gvim the GUI is not
started if possible.
* "Python" is a proper noun and should be capitalized in prose
* Corrected use of "its/it's"
* Used better preposition to describe something "in" legacy Vim
* Combine fragments into complete sentence
- Removed term.c, term.h and term_defs.h
- Tests for T_* values were removed. screen.c was simplified as a
consequence(the best strategy for drawing is implemented in the UI layer)
- Redraw functions now call ui.c functions directly. Updates are flushed with
`ui_flush()`
- Removed all termcap options(they now return empty strings for compatibility)
- &term/&ttybuiltin options return a constant value(nvim)
- &t_Co is still available, but it mirrors t_colors directly
- Remove cursor tracking from screen.c and the `screen_start` function. Now the
UI is expected to maintain cursor state across any call, and reset it when
resized.
- Remove unused code
refs #1045#1051
This was enabled by default a while ago (#1051), and has apparently not
created any issues. The amount of actual code related to it is tiny, so
it has been removed.
If you Google for this phrase found in the Vim documentation you'll find
almost exclusively hits from the Vim documentation. I think changing
"halfway a line" to "halfway through a line" makes more sense.
There seems to be an pervasive odd use of the word 'halfway' in the
original docs which I'm updating everywhere.
- Rewrote a few sentences for clarity/brevity
- Various spelling/grammar fixes
- Mention exact time before SIGKILL (mentioned in /src/nvim/os/job.c)
- Reflowed all changed paragraphs accordingly
- Standardize indentation level
- Remove trailing whitespace
- Job control example:
- Don't buffer output (echo -n); just print a new line for every
update.
- Use single quotes around jobsend() arguments to allow for proper
interpretation of newline characters.
- Sleep 1 second between updates instead of 2; 10 seconds is plenty of
time for such a simple example.
- Remove note about how {channel} is rpcstop's only argument; just
mention {channel} at the beginning like the other descriptions.
- Small grammar fixes
Notes regarding the removal of specific items:
- Aztec C: only on the Amiga.
- mch_check_win(): doesn't exist anymore.
- Comment in ex_cmds.c: It seems the context for this comment was
removed, but the comment was inadvertantly left alone.
Problem: gettabvar() is not consistent with getwinvar() and getbufvar().
Solution: Return a dict with all variables when the varname is empty.
