DWIM: avoid empty buffer 1 when stdin was empty. If other files were
specified at startup, we assume that stdin is only accidentally
not-a-TTY: user did not intend to send text from it.
ref #8560
ref #8561
If stdin is not a TTY we read it into buffer 1, as text. But if the
stdin pipe is empty, Nvim was most likely invoked for some other reason.
DWIM: select buffer 2 (if it exists). Example:
echo file1 | xargs nvim

Before this change, -E/-Es without `-u NONE` reads stdin as Ex commands.
It should always read stdin as text (into buffer 1), like this:
echo foo | nvim -Es +'%p'
foo
echo foo | nvim -Es -u NORC +'%p'
foo
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).
silent-mode (-es/-Es) has been broken for years. The workaround up to
now was to include --headless. But --headless is not equivalent because
it prints all messages, not the limited subset defined by silent-mode.
Treat stdin as text by default (so the "-" file is not needed):
echo foo | nvim
It works with file args (implemented in next commit), too:
echo foo | nvim file1.txt file2.txt
Why? Because:
- Execution of input is (1) almost always unintentional/confusing,
and (2) potentially destructive.
- Avoids the need for time-delayed warning. #7659
- The _common_ case is to open text in a buffer, not send commands.
Note:
- Not for Ex-mode (-es) because it is used by scripts. But maybe `-Es`?
- Not for --headless, because stdio may be a protocol stream and may be
used for any purpose by stdioopen().
To treat stdin as Normal-mode commands, use `-s -` instead:
echo ifoo | nvim -s -
Other alternatives:
- Replay a register. E.g. the following mostly works, except @q aborts
on any "beep" (e.g. if the cursor can't move).
nvim -c '%d q|norm @q' -
- Future: Let `:%source` work with unsaved buffer contents?

If multiple internal stream callbacks were recieved before vimL
callbacks got called, only invoke one vimL callback with all data.
* Reading from stdin on Windows is fixed in the same way as it was in
#8267.
* The file_read function was returning without filling the
destination buffer when it was called with a non-blocking file
descriptor.
cmd.exe (shell) is faster and more reliable than powershell (.NET frontend).
It's best for short and basic tests that don't require non-trivial scripting.
cmd.exe doesn't support sleep so use powershell's Start-Sleep as substitute.
- echo "" does not hang in powershell
- cmd.exe's echo command does not hang.
- job tests default to powershell (WHY?)
- wait 5 seconds for powershell to create an empty file
- powershell is slow
- cannot reliably validate the id returned by jobstart via jobpid, jobstop
- if using cmd.exe, waiting for a second should be enough
- remaining job tests are unreliable in Windows because any build can pass/fail
for same conditions without changes, especially if the error is in stderr
