This is primarily intended to act as documentation for the developer so
they know exactly when and what to remove. This will help prevent the
situation of deprecated code lingering for far too long as developers
don't have to worry if a function is safe to remove.
PROBLEM
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS has conflicting purposes as both a parameter ("the
current process should listen on this address") and a descriptor ("the
current process is a child of this address").
This contradiction means the presence of NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS is
ambiguous, so child Nvim always tries to listen on its _parent's_
socket. This is the cause of lots of "Failed to start server" spam in
our test/CI logs:
WARN 2022-04-30… server_start:154: Failed to start server: address already in use: \\.\pipe\nvim-4480-0
WARN 2022-04-30… server_start:154: Failed to start server: address already in use: \\.\pipe\nvim-2168-0
SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Set $NVIM to the parent v:servername, *only* in child processes.
- Now the correct way to detect a "parent" Nvim is to check for $NVIM.
2. Do NOT set $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS in child processes.
3. On startup if $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS exists, unset it immediately after
server init.
4. Open a channel to parent automatically, expose it as v:parent.

`:syntax enable` is no longer necessary (and may even be harmful). Do not recommend it in `usr_05.txt` and `usr_06.txt`, and mention the new default in `syntax.txt`.
Deprecates the existing `vim.lsp.buf.formatting` function.
With this, `vim.lsp.buf.format` will replace all three:
- vim.lsp.buf.formatting
- vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync
- vim.lsp.buf.formatting_seq_sync
* feat(lsp)!: remove capabilities sanitization
Users must now access client.server_capabilities which matches the same
structure as the protocol.
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification
client.resolved_capabilities is no longer used to gate capabilities, and
will be removed in a future release.
BREAKING CHANGE
Co-authored-by: Mathias Fussenegger <f.mathias@zignar.net>
Implement two new options to vim.lsp.buf.code_action():
- filter (function): predicate taking an Action as input, and returning
a boolean.
- apply (boolean): when set to true, and there is just one remaining
action (after filtering), the action is applied without user query.
These options can, for example, be used to filter out, and automatically
apply, the action indicated by the server to be preferred:
vim.lsp.buf.code_action({
filter = function(action)
return action.isPreferred
end,
apply = true,
})

Solution: Use \<*xxx> instead, since it's the same as \<xxx> but producing a
different code.

The default value of including F in 'shortmess' has the unfortunate side
effect of hiding output from autocommands. This is a common source of
confusion and often leads people to think their autocommands are not
working when they are. There is a small snippet in the docs for
'shortmess' indicating that the F flag suppresses autocmd output, but
it's not easy to find if you don't already know to look for it.
This commit removes that behavior of the F flag to make it only suppress
file info when opening a new file.
Some people ran into issues trying to use `callback = myluafun` because
of the event data payload.

Skip <MouseMove> (Nvim *kinda* has <MouseMove>, but most of this doc needs
v8.2.4674 anyway...).
Nvim's 'hidden' doc was reworded somewhat, so manually integrate the changes
(8331cd13c4).
Also apply "comma-separated" changes to all possible places in options.txt.
Cherry-pick *highlight-clear* tag from v8.2.3578.

Also use `n = ++vcol` in regexp_bt.c as `++vcol` alone fails lint.
helpers.source() was a hack to work around the lack of anonymous
:source. Its "create tempfile" behavior is not a required part of most
tests that use it.
Some tests still need the old "create tempfile" behavior either because
they test SID behavior, or because of missing nvim_exec features: #16071
vim.tbl_get takes a table with subsequent string arguments (variadic) that
index into the table. If the value pointed to by the set of keys exists,
the function returns the value. If the set of keys does not exist, the
function returns nil.
The use of 'softtabstop' to set tabSize was introduced in 5d5b068,
replacing 'tabstop'. If we look past the name tabSize and at the actual
purpose of the field, it's the indentation width used when formatting.
This corresponds to the Vim option 'shiftwidth', not 'softtabstop'.
The latter has the comparatively mundane purpose of controlling what
happens when you hit the tab key (and even this is incomplete, as it
fails to account for 'smarttab').
Ref: #9342
Adds the option to have a single global statusline for the current window at the bottom of the screen instead of a statusline at the bottom of every window. Enabled by setting `laststatus = 3`.
Due to the fact that statuslines at the bottom of windows are removed when global statusline is enabled, horizontal separators are used instead to separate horizontal splits. The horizontal separator character is configurable through the`horiz` item in `'fillchars'`. Separator connector characters are also used to connect the horizontal and vertical separators together, which are also configurable through the `horizup`, `horizdown`, `vertleft`, `vertright` and `verthoriz` items in `fillchars`.
The window separators are highlighted using the `WinSeparator` highlight group, which supersedes `VertSplit` and is linked to `VertSplit` by default in order to maintain backwards compatibility.
Problem: Cannot jump to the last used tabpage.
Solution: Add g<Tab> and tabpagnr('#'). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes vim/vim#6661,

Nvim implemented this feature before Vim, but Vim made some useful changes (e.g:
beeping on failure). Port the changes to closer match Vim (also makes porting
future patches easier).
Also note that because CHECK_CMDWIN was added to goto_tabpage_tp, there is no
need to do the extra work with tabpage_index and goto_tabpage inside
goto_tabpage_lastused to fix cmdwin issues any more (#11692).
Note that while goto_tabpage_tp doesn't check for textlock like goto_tabpage
does, it shouldn't matter as it is already checked for earlier.
Add tags for <C-Tab> to tabpage.txt, and refer to <C-Tab> over CTRL-Tab to be
consistent with other docs like the patch.
Remove mention of "previous tabpage" (it can be confused with the tabpage to the
left, e.g: `:tabprevious`).
Similarly, don't rename old_curtab to last_tab in enter_tabpage (it might be
confused with the right-most tabpage, e.g: `:tablast`).
Cherry-pick Test_tabpage change from v8.2.0634.

closes#17552
* refactor: add two maps for fast lookups
* fix: delete augroup info from id->name map
When in "stupid_legacy_mode", the value in name->id map would be updated
to `AUGROUP_DELETED`, but the entry would still remain in id->name. This
would create a problem in `augroup_name` function which would return the
name of the augroup instead of `--DELETED--`.
The id->name map is only used for fast loopup in `augroup_name` function
so there's no point in keeping the entry of deleted augroup in it.

This enables retrieving autocommands defined in the given buffers. Under
the hood this simply translates the buffer numbers into '<buffer=%d>'
patterns.
This commit finishes support for colored and styled underlines adding
`CSI 4 : [2,4,5] m` support providing double, dashed, and dotted
underlines
Fixes#17362.
`:verbose` didn't work properly with lua configs (For example:
options or keymaps are set from lua, just say that they were set
from lua, doesn't say where they were set at.
This fixes that issue. Now `:verbose` will provide filename and line no
when option/keymap is set from lua.
Changes:
- compiles lua/vim/keymap.lua as vim/keymap.lua
- When souring a lua file current_sctx.sc_sid is set to SID_LUA
- Moved finding scripts SID out of `do_source()` to `get_current_script_id()`.
So it can be reused for lua files.
- Added new function `nlua_get_sctx` that extracts current lua scripts
name and line no with debug library. And creates a sctx for it.
NOTE: This function ignores C functions and blacklist which
currently contains only vim/_meta.lua so vim.o/opt wrappers aren't
targeted.
- Added function `nlua_set_sctx` that changes provided sctx to current
lua scripts sctx if a lua file is being executed.
- Added tests in tests/functional/lua/verbose_spec.lua
- add primary support for additional types (:autocmd, :function, :syntax) to lua verbose
Note: These can't yet be directly set from lua but once that's possible
:verbose should work for them hopefully :D
- add :verbose support for nvim_exec & nvim_command within lua
Currently auto commands/commands/functions ... can only be defined
by nvim_exec/nvim_command this adds support for them. Means if those
Are defined within lua with vim.cmd/nvim_exec :verbose will show their
location . Though note it'll show the line no on which nvim_exec call was made.
Works similar to ex <f-args>. It only splits the arguments if the
command has more than one posible argument. In cases were the command
can only have 1 argument opts.fargs = { opts.args }

nvim_buf_get_text is the mirror of nvim_buf_set_text. It differs from
nvim_buf_get_lines in that it allows retrieving only portions of lines.
While this can typically be done easily enough by API clients,
implementing this function provides symmetry between the get/set
text/lines APIs, and also provides a nice convenience that saves API
clients the work of having to slice the result of nvim_buf_get_lines
themselves.

Enable skip arg usage in autoload/freebasic.vim
evalarg_T doesn't really matter because it's deleted in v8.2.0918 (and
reincarnated for Vim9 script in v8.2.1047), but I found out too late :P Anyway:
- Port evalarg_T into eval.h and use const char * and Callback fields
- Use EVALARG_INIT to initialize
- Return bool over OK/FAIL from evalarg functions
- Remove check from evalarg_clean as callback_free ignores None callbacks anyway
- Move eva_buf field into evalarg_get as a local (not sure what reason it has
being in the struct)
