For any of these functions, if {cmd} is a string, execute
"&shell &shellcmdflag '{cmd}'", or simply {cmd} if it's a list.
In termopen(), if the 'name' option is not supplied, try to guess using
'{cmd}' (string) or {cmd}[0] (list). Simplify ex_terminal to use the
string form of termopen().

Old behaviour: termopen('cmd') would run `&shell &shcf "cmd"`, which
caused the functional tests to fail on some systems due to the process
not "owning" the terminal. Also, it is inconsistent with jobstart().
Modify termopen() so that &shell is not invoked, but maintain the old
behaviour with :terminal. Factor the common code for building the
argument vector from jobstart() and modify the functional tests to call
termopen() instead of :terminal (fixes#2354).
Also:
* Add a 'name' option for termopen() so that `:terminal {cmd}` produces
a buffer named "term//{cwd}/{cmd}" and termopen() users can customize
the name.
* Update the documentation.
* Add functional tests for `:terminal` sinse its behaviour now differs
from termopen(). Add "test/functional/fixtures/shell-test.c" and move
"test/functional/job/tty-test.c" there, too.

Problem: Using a range for window and buffer commands has a few
problems.
Cannot specify the type of range for a user command.
Solution: Add the -addr argument for user commands. Fix problems.

Problem: Crash when computing buffer count. Problem with range for
user commands. Line range wrong in Visual area.
Solution: Avoid segfault in compute_buffer_local_count(). Check for
CMD_USER when checking type of range. (Marcin Szamotulski)

- backticks in Vim help docs are supported by even the default
colorscheme; we should start using them for technical identifiers
instead of quotation marks.
- prefer judicious indentation to gratuitous bullets

This directory contains old (at least 10+ years) scripts that mainly filter
output of other old programs to make them conformant with an 'errorformat'
from 10+ years ago.
Implement functions for spawning, destroying, and listing active
servers, and add server_address_list() to msgpack_rpc/server.c for the
serverlist() vimL function.
Regarding |script-here|: despite being a language agnostic piece of
advice, it was in `if_perl.txt`. Regardless, we now only have one
support for one legacy plugin interface, so put it in `if_pyth.txt`
Rubycomplete requires 'if_ruby', which has never been in Neovim. Because
of this, remove some mentions of it from the docs, but keep the actual
plugin untouched (as to avoid unneeded maintainence costs). It has a
call to `has('ruby')`, so it will still fall back to syntax completion.
Problem: With some regexp patterns the NFA engine uses many states and
becomes very slow. To the user it looks like Vim freezes.
Solution: When the number of states reaches a limit fall back to the old
engine. (Christian Brabandt)

indent/r.vim : change shiftwidth to 2 and minor bug fixes.
indent/rhelp.vim : move the position of the test if the script was already sourced

syntax/r.vim : minor bug fixes and improvement (distinguish = from ==)
This library makes it easier to script communication with interactive programs.
It is similar to what the "expect" tcl extension does, but uses an object
oriented API and is designed to integrate nicely with Neovim job control.
- Remove JobActivity autocmd and v:job_data variable
- Simplify `jobstart` to receive:
- An argument vector
- An optional dictionary which may contain any of the current `jobstart`
options plus `on_stdout`, `on_stderr` and `on_exit` callbacks.
- Refactor and add more job tests
- Update documentation
Problem: Language mapping also applies to mapped characters.
Solution: Add the 'langnoremap' option, when on 'langmap' does not apply to

This documents the differences between nvim and nvim.
Regarding the removal of references to 'renderoptions': it was never
added in the first place, so there's no need to mention its "removal".
Add missing parentheses and whatnot, move dangling comment, etc. Some
specific items worth mentioning:
Fixed some references to non-existent tags, found via `make html`
msgpack_rpc/channel.c:
ELOG already prefixes each line with "error @ ..."
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.

Even when this was finally removed 6 months ago in b2b920f, it had
already been disabled for a while. Due to this, just remove all remnants
of the option as opposed to putting a placeholder like what was done for
'shortname'and 'cryptmethod'.
- Improved wording in a few places for clarity
- Various capitalization/grammar fixes
- Change references to Neovim as 'editor' to 'Nvim'
- Be consistent regarding utilization of vim's documentation features,
e.g. unnamedclip -> |unnamedclip|
- Reflowed all changed paragraphs accordingly
- Add spaces before parentheses
- Remove trailing whitespace
- Standardize single spaces after periods. Vim's docs use two for the
most part, but Nvim's use one mainly, so just follow Nvim's conventions
Closes https://github.com/neovim/docs/pull/26
Also added stubs for 'cryptmethod' and 'key', and placeholders for
explanation regarding removal of crypto functionality.
* References to old repository found through grepping
* Replace references from github.com/joyent/libuv to github.com/libuv/libuv
* Fix previous commit by not including whitespace changes
For issue #1560.
Issue: #1537
Running the :UpdateRemotePlugins command will show an ugly, unhelpful
error when no plugins were found. This change has neovim print an error message
and does not attempt to start the python-client which requires at least one
plugin.
xsel and xcopy may be available even if a valid X display is not. Also,
the availability of X may change at any time, so check on each
invocation.
Closes#1509.
Clipboard is implemented with platform-specific shell commands, and python is
implemented with the external plugin facility (rpc#* functions). The
script_host.py file(legacy python-vim emulation plugin) was moved/adapted from
the python client repository.
External plugins(a.k.a msgpack-rpc plugins) are now supported through a
library of vimscript functions that deals with:
- Associating plugin host names(eg: python, ruby, go) with channel ids
- Registration of external plugins
- Definition of commands, autocmds and functions lazily implemented over
msgpack-rpc
Use save_tv_as_string(), same as vimL system(). This also makes
jobsend() more liberal in what it can accept. For example,
`jobsend(j, 123)` is now valid.
Closes#1176
Factor out string_to_list() from f_system()'s implementation
and use that to set job_data. This has the technical advantage of
preserving NULs, and may be more convenient for users.
Required for #1176.
- Correct apostrophe usage, primarily with it's/its
- Correct usage of 'e.g.'
- Capitalize acronyms
- Prepend NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS with '$' to match previous instance
- Avoid awkward phrasing
- Make lists with an explicitly stated number of points numbered to
match other such lists
- Added space before parentheses
- rm trailing whitespace
Problem: executable() was detecting python on user's path, but
system() was executing system-level python.
Solution: Make sure python version on user's path is executed.
Use exepath() to force system() to do so.
- VIM_VERSION_LONG and VIM_VERSION_LONG_DATE do not affect plugins,
they are only cosmetic.
- Vim-related version identifiers will be preserved for plugin
compatibility (has("patchXXX") and v:version).
