---@defgroup lua-vimscript --- ---@brief Nvim Lua provides an interface or "bridge" to Vimscript variables and ---functions, and editor commands and options. --- ---Objects passed over this bridge are COPIED (marshalled): there are no ---"references". |lua-guide-variables| For example, using \`vim.fn.remove()\` on ---a Lua list copies the list object to Vimscript and does NOT modify the Lua ---list: ---
lua --- local list = { 1, 2, 3 } --- vim.fn.remove(list, 0) --- vim.print(list) --> "{ 1, 2, 3 }" ------@addtogroup lua-vimscript ---@brief
help ---vim.call({func}, {...}) *vim.call()* --- Invokes |vim-function| or |user-function| {func} with arguments {...}. --- See also |vim.fn|. --- Equivalent to: >lua --- vim.fn[func]({...}) ---< ---vim.cmd({command}) --- See |vim.cmd()|. --- ---vim.fn.{func}({...}) *vim.fn* --- Invokes |vim-function| or |user-function| {func} with arguments {...}. --- To call autoload functions, use the syntax: >lua --- vim.fn['some\#function']({...}) ---< --- Unlike vim.api.|nvim_call_function()| this converts directly between Vim --- objects and Lua objects. If the Vim function returns a float, it will be --- represented directly as a Lua number. Empty lists and dictionaries both --- are represented by an empty table. --- --- Note: |v:null| values as part of the return value is represented as --- |vim.NIL| special value --- --- Note: vim.fn keys are generated lazily, thus `pairs(vim.fn)` only --- enumerates functions that were called at least once. --- --- Note: The majority of functions cannot run in |api-fast| callbacks with some --- undocumented exceptions which are allowed. --- --- *lua-vim-variables* ---The Vim editor global dictionaries |g:| |w:| |b:| |t:| |v:| can be accessed ---from Lua conveniently and idiomatically by referencing the `vim.*` Lua tables ---described below. In this way you can easily read and modify global Vimscript ---variables from Lua. --- ---Example: >lua --- --- vim.g.foo = 5 -- Set the g:foo Vimscript variable. --- print(vim.g.foo) -- Get and print the g:foo Vimscript variable. --- vim.g.foo = nil -- Delete (:unlet) the Vimscript variable. --- vim.b[2].foo = 6 -- Set b:foo for buffer 2 ---< --- ---Note that setting dictionary fields directly will not write them back into ---Nvim. This is because the index into the namespace simply returns a copy. ---Instead the whole dictionary must be written as one. This can be achieved by ---creating a short-lived temporary. --- ---Example: >lua --- --- vim.g.my_dict.field1 = 'value' -- Does not work --- --- local my_dict = vim.g.my_dict -- --- my_dict.field1 = 'value' -- Instead do --- vim.g.my_dict = my_dict -- --- ---vim.g *vim.g* --- Global (|g:|) editor variables. --- Key with no value returns `nil`. --- ---vim.b *vim.b* --- Buffer-scoped (|b:|) variables for the current buffer. --- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`.
