- TUI: Fix a case where the cursor was not displayed after hiding the
cursor and then setting it to be displayed again.
- Change to reset everything before setting guicursor.
fixes#12800close#12811
Steps to reproduce:
nvim -u NORC
:set termguicolors
:hi nCursor guifg=red guibg=red
:hi iCursor guifg=green guibg=green
:hi cCursor guifg=blue guibg=blue
:set guicursor=n:block-nCursor,i:hor25-iCursor,c:ver25-cCursor
:set guicursor-=c:ver25-cCursor
Actual behaviour: Cursor is a blue vertical.
Expected behaviour: Cursor should be the default color block.

- 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.

Previously, the "precedes" character would be rendered on every row

- 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.
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.
Makes the 'scrollback' option more consistent (same default for all buffers) and future-proof.
- Default to -1 for all buffers, but treat it as an implementation detail.
- Document range of 1 - 100_000.
- New terminal buffer by default sets scrollback=10_000 if the global default is -1.
- Existing terminal buffer: On entering terminal-mode or on refresh, if the user explicitly did `:set[local] scbk=-1`, the local value goes to 100_000 (max). (This is undocumented on purpose. Users should work with explicit values in the range of 1-100_000.)

Using 'listchars' is a nice way to highlight tabs that were included by accident

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.

- Fix default value of 'mousemodel' for Windows
Resets the TUI cursor color if:
- current 'guicursor' mode does not specify a highlight group
- cursor highlight group has "inverse" or "reverse" flag
- on Nvim exit
We interpret, "inverse" to mean "default cursor".
Example:
hi Cursor guifg=bg guibg=fg
set termguicolors
set guicursor=n-v-c-sm:block,i-ci-ve:ver25-Cursor,r-cr-o:hor20
* When the cursor shape is block, its color will be "inverse"
* When the cursor shape is I-beam, its color will be `hi Cursor`.
This is useful e.g. to prevent `set listchars=eol:¬` causing your cursor
color to a low contrast color in insert mode because you cursor are
often at EOL in insert mode.
close#8572
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.

fsync() is very slow on some systems. And since the parent commit, Nvim

Wrapping a command in double-quotes allows cmd.exe to safely dequote the
entire command as if the user entered the entire command in an
interactive prompt. This reduces the need to escape nested and uneven
double quotes.
The `/s` flag of cmd.exe makes the behaviour more reliable:
:set shellcmdflag=/s\ /c
Before this patch, cmd.exe cannot use cygwin echo.exe (as opposed to
cmd.exe `echo` builtin) even if it is wrapped in double quotes.
Example:
:: internal echo
> cmd /s /c " echo foo\:bar" "
foo\:bar"
:: cygwin echo.exe
> cmd /s /c " "echo" foo\:bar" "

Currently writedelay shows the sequence of characters that are sent to
the UI/TUI module. Here nvim has already applied an optimization: when
attempting to put a char in a screen cell, if the same char already was
there with the same attributes, UI output is disabled. When debugging
redrawing it it sometimes more useful to inspect the redraw stream one
step earlier, what region of the screen nvim actually is recomputing
from buffer contents (win_line) and from evaluating statusline
expressions.
Take the popupmenu as an example. When closing the popupmenu (in the
TUI), currently 'writedelay' looks like vim only is redrawing the region
which the pum covered. This is not what happens internally: vim redraws
the entire screen, even if only outputs the changed region.
This commit allows negative values of 'writedelay', which causes a delay
for all redrawn characters, even if the character already was displayed
by the UI before.
Most fonts should have these by now. Both are a significant visual
improvement.

The details are in the on-line help under :help cursor-shape .
The brief precis is that nvim is following the lead of tmux, and going
beyond what tmux does to make cursor shape changes work on a broad range of
terminals. This includes on tmux itself, which is no longer bypassed.

Multi-key 'pastetoggle' can still be used when inserting the entire

questionable).
Also remove those tests to do with waiting for the completion of
'pastetoggle' and mention in the documentation that 'pastetoggle'
doesn't wait for timeout.
Calling cmd.exe in Windows follows a very different pattern from Vim.
The primary difference is that Vim does a nested call to cmd.exe, e.g.
the following call in Vim
system('echo a 2>&1')
spawns the following processes
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\vimrun" -s C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIoC169.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2>&1
>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2>&1)
The escaping with ^ is needed because cmd.exe calls itself and needs to
preserve the special metacharacters for the last call. However in nvim
no nested call is made, system('') spawns a single cmd.exe process.
Setting shellxescape to "" disables escaping with ^.
The previous default for shellxquote=( wrapped any command in
parenthesis, in Vim this is more meaningful due to the use of tempfiles
to store the output and redirection (also see &shellquote). There is
a slight benefit in having the default be empty because some expressions
that run in console will not run within parens e.g. due to unbalanced
double quotes
system('echo "a b')

On today's systems these values are huge (4GB in my machine with 8GB of RAM
since it's set as half the available memory by default) 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
swapping mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the operating
system already virtualized the 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.
Adds os_strerror() result to a number of places. Also since I could not track
where err\* variables are NULL and where they are not, using macros to make sure
that all three variables are set at once.
Removes #ifdef UNIX around the use of os_fsync, makes it use os_close in place
of close in some places.
For now only supports valid hex colors (does not check for the validity
the hex color) when termguicolors is set, otherwise it won't attempt to
change the cursor color.
Make the 'scrollback' option work like most other buffer-local options:
- `:set scrollback=x` sets the global and local value
- `:setglobal scrollback=x` sets only the global default
- new terminal buffers inherit the global
Normal buffers are still always -1, and :setlocal there is an error.
Closes#6337
Problem: 'formatprg' is a global option but the value may depend on the
type of buffer. (Sung Pae)
Solution: Make 'formatprg' global-local. (closesvim/vim#1380)

In order to not conflict with new error codes that Vim adds, all Neovim
error codes should be above 5000. The three existing sub-5000 error
codes (E926, E951, and E952) are now E50003, E5004, and E5005
respectively.
E953 was removed in 6167ce6df2, so just
remove it from the help.
command_line_changed:
- Check (current_SID == 0) instead of KeyTyped
- We want to update during mappings (KeyTyped is false then).
- Check vpeekc_any()
- Avoids unnecessary work.
- Avoids triggering live preview during macros.
- Caveat: This makes the redraw "stutter" if user spams (holds a key)
in the replace pattern. But that scenario is not important.
- Update screen if the command is changed to a non-live command.
(`s->live` goes from true => false) => clears the preview
command_line_execute:
- Let CTRL-C cancel live preview
do_sub:
- Enforce a time limit ('redrawtime').
- Unset 'inccommand' if time limit is reached.
Closes#5602Closes#5585
- Use a standard scratch buffer instead of a new 'buftype', functions

'inccommand' allows us to expand the feature to other commands, such as:
:cdo
:cfdo
:global

- Eliminate/isolate static/global variables
- Remove special-case parameter from buflist_new()
- Remove special-case ECMD_RESERVED_BUFNR
- To determine when u_undo_and_forget() should be done, check
b_changedtick instead of a heuristic.
- use mb_string2cells() instead of strlen() to measure the :sub patterns
- call ml_close() before buf_clear_file(). Avoids leaks caught by ASan.

A file containing the string "vim" followed by a very large number in a modeline

chk_modeline() when trying to parse the version number.
Add getdigits_safe(), which does not assert overflows, but reports them to the
caller.

"vimrc" refers to all files that are used to configure Neovim. The main
configuration file is init.vim nowadays.
All nvimrc references that are left refer to a local ".nvimrc" which is read
if 'exrc' is set. ".ngvimrc" references were completely wiped.
Closes#3552.
Note about ~/.local/share/nvim/site used in one usr_\* file: this one talks
about user-local installation of third-party plugins, and
~/.local/share/nvim/site is the proper place for them. Most other files talk
about user own configuration and this is ~/.config.
Commit e3568364 ("default: enable 'langnoremap'. #2853") enabled it by
default but forgot to remove the lines saying it's disabled by default.

Presumably due to tarruda's unifdefing, it was already a no-op at the
time of nvim's first commit.
It's probably better to be clear that it doesn't exist, as opposed to
users thinking `:set guipty` is doing something when it isn't.
