Problem: Lua accessors for
- global, local, and special variables (`vim.{g,t,w,b,v}.*`), and
- options (`vim.{o,bo,wo,opt,opt_local,opt_global}.*`),
do not have command-line completion, unlike their vimscript counterparts
(e.g., `g:`, `b:`, `:set`, `:setlocal`, `:call <fn>`, etc.).
Completion for vimscript functions (`vim.fn.*`) is incomplete and does
not list all the available functions.
Solution: Implement completion for vimscript function, variable and
option accessors in `vim._expand_pat` through:
- `getcompletion()` for variable and vimscript function accessors, and
- `nvim_get_all_options_info()` for option accessors.
Note/Remark:
- Short names for options are yet to be implemented.
- Completions for accessors with handles (e.g. `vim.b[0]`, `vim.wo[0]`)
are also yet to be implemented, and are left as future work, which
involves some refactoring of options.
- For performance reasons, we may want to introduce caching for
completing options, but this is not considered at this time since the
number of the available options is not very big (only ~350) and Lua
completion for option accessors appears to be pretty fast.
- Can we have a more "general" framework for customizing completions?
In the future, we may want to improve the implementation by moving the
core logic for generating completion candidates to each accessor (or
its metatable) or through some central interface, rather than writing
all the accessor-specific completion implementations in a single
function: `vim._expand_pat`.
An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be
bumped when a new Lua function is added.
TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions.
ref #25416
**Problem:** The documentation for `TSNode` and `TSTree` methods is
incomplete from the LSP perspective. This is because they are written
directly to the vimdoc, rather than in Lua and generated to vimdoc.
**Solution:** Migrate the docs to Lua and generate them into the vimdoc.
This requires breaking up the `treesitter/_meta.lua` file into a
directory with a few different modules.
This commit also makes the vimdoc generator slightly more robust with
regard to sections that have multiple help tags (e.g. `*one* *two*`)
Some composite/compound types even as basic as `(string|number)[]` are
not currently supported by the luacats LPEG grammar used by gen_vimdoc.
It would be parsed & rendered as just `string|number`.
Changeset adds better support for these types.
Problem:
Tree cursors can only be efficient when they are re-used.
Short-lived cursors are very slow.
Solution:
Reimplement functions that use short-lived cursors.
Problem: quickfix list does not handle hardlinks well
Solution: store original file name with quickfix entry
(Austin Chang)
Quickfix list shows entries with duplicate name if the file is opened
with the path of hard links.
The major cause is that qflist assumed that the filename passed into
`qf_add_entry` matches the filename opened with the buffer.
This patch handles this case by introduce a `qf_fname` into `qfline_S`
structure. It stores the filename from `qf_add_entry` for each quickfix
line.

Ensure the screen is fully updated before blocking for input. This did
not always happen before, for example when setting `cursorline
scrolloff=9999`, which lead to jerky movement when using some GUI
applications.
Because of the duality of redraw_later, this can't be done in
command-line or when waiting for "Press ENTER". In many of those cases
the redraw is expected AFTER the key press, while normally it should
update the screen immediately. So, those special cases are excluded.
Problem: fixed order of items in insert-mode completion menu
Solution: Introduce the 'completeitemalign' option with default
value "abbr,kind,menu" (glepnir).
Adding an new option `completeitemalign` abbr is `cia` to custom
the complete-item order in popupmenu.

Problem:
The `_watch.watch()` strategy may fail if the given path does not exist:
…/vim/_watch.lua:101: ENOENT: no such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
…/vim/_watch.lua:101: in function <…/vim/_watch.lua:61>
[string "<nvim>"]:5: in main chunk
- `_watch.watch()` actively asserts any error returned by `handle:start()`.
- whereas `_watch.watchdirs()` just ignores the result of `root_handle:start()`.
Servers may send "client/registerCapability" with "workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles"
item(s) (`baseUri`) which do not actually exist on the filesystem:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/28058#issuecomment-2189929424
{
method = "client/registerCapability",
params = {
registrations = { {
method = "workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles",
registerOptions = {
watchers = { {
globPattern = {
baseUri = "file:///Users/does/not/exist",
pattern = "**/*.{ts,js,mts,mjs,cjs,cts,json,svelte}"
}
},
...
}
Solution:
- Remove the assert in `_watch.watch()`.
- Show a once-only message for both cases.
- More detailed logging is blocked until we have `nvim_log` / `vim.log`.

Problem: can set cedit to an invalid value

When typing `:h usr` it redirects to usr_01.txt, but I'd argue
usr_toc.txt is more useful as you can see an overview of all manuals.
When I usr `:h usr` I personally always intend to go to `usr_toc`.

Problem: For :InspectTree, indent size (`&shiftwidth`) for the tree
viewer may be incorrect.
This is because the tree viewer buffer with the filetype `query` does
not explicitly configures the tab size, which can mismatch with the
default indent size (2) assumed by TSTreeView's implementation.
Solution: Set shiftwidth to be the same as TSTreeViewOpts specifies,
which defaults to 2.
Problem:
The <br> hack in a0c64fe816 causes weird layout if a "h4 pseudo-heading"
is not the only tag on the line. For example in the help text below, the
"*'buflisted'*" tag was treated as h4 and followed by <br>, which is
obviously wrong:
*'buflisted'* *'bl'* *'nobuflisted'* *'nobl'* *E85*
'buflisted' 'bl' boolean (default on)
Solution:
Only treat a tag as "h4 pseudo-heading" if it is the only tag in the
line. This is fragile, but in practice seems to get the right balance.
Problem:
The right-aligned tag "pseudo-heading" layout mushes together with the
left-aligned text. This is especially messy in a narrow viewport.
Solution:
Put a `<br>` on it. This is a hack until tree-sitter-vimdoc recognizes
these pseudo-headings.
Complement "g:java_ignore_javadoc" with "g:java_ignore_html"
and "g:java_ignore_markdown" to allow selectively disabling
the recognition of HTML and CommonMark respectively.
(Note that this is not a preview feature.)
======================== LIMITATION ========================
According to the syntactical details of JEP 467:
> Any leading whitespace and the three initial / characters
> are removed from each line.
>
> The lines are shifted left, by removing leading whitespace
> characters, until the non-blank line with the least
> leading whitespace has no remaining leading whitespace.
>
> Additional leading whitespace and any trailing whitespace
> in each line is preserved, because it may be significant.
the following example:
------------------------------------------------------------
/// A summary sentence.
/// A list:
/// - Item A.
/// - Item B.
///
/// Some code span, starting here `
/// 1 + 2 ` and ending at the previous \`.
------------------------------------------------------------
should be interpreted as if it were written thus:
------------------------------------------------------------
///A summary sentence.
/// A list:
/// - Item A.
/// - Item B.
///
/// Some code span, starting here `
/// 1 + 2 ` and ending at the previous \`.
------------------------------------------------------------
Since automatic line rewriting will not be pursued, parts of
such comments having significant whitespace may be ‘wrongly’
highlighted. For convenience, a &fex function is defined to
‘correct’ it: g:javaformat#RemoveCommonMarkdownWhitespace()
(:help ft-java-plugin).

Problem:
Linematch used to use strchr to navigate a string, however strchr does
not supoprt embedded NULs.
Solution:
Use `mmfile_t` instead of `char *` in linematch and introduce `strnchr()`.
Also remove heap allocations from `matching_char_iwhite()`
Fixes: #30505
Problem: No clear way to check whether parsers are available for a given
language.
Solution: Make `language.add()` return `true` if a parser was
successfully added and `nil` otherwise. Use explicit `assert` instead of
relying on thrown errors.
Problem: Language names are only registered for filetype<->language
lookups when parsers are actually loaded; this means users cannot rely
on `vim.treesitter.language.get_lang()` or `get_filetypes()` to return
the correct value when language and filetype coincide and always need to
add explicit fallbacks.
Solution: Always return the language name as valid filetype in
`get_filetypes()`, and default to the filetype in `get_lang()`. Document
this behavior.
Some gnu indent options take negative numbers (e.g. --indent-label).
Add matching for an optional single '-' before the number.
