*deprecated.txt* Nvim NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL Nvim *deprecated* The items listed below are deprecated: they will be removed in the future. They should not be used in new scripts, and old scripts should be updated. ============================================================================== API ~ *nvim_buf_clear_highlight()* Use |nvim_buf_clear_namespace()| instead. *nvim_buf_set_virtual_text()* Use |nvim_buf_set_extmark()| instead. *nvim_command_output()* Use |nvim_exec()| instead. *nvim_execute_lua()* Use |nvim_exec_lua()| instead. Commands ~ *:rv* *:rviminfo* Deprecated alias to |:rshada| command. *:wv* *:wviminfo* Deprecated alias to |:wshada| command. Environment Variables ~ *$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS* $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS is a deprecated way to set the |--listen| address of Nvim, and also had a conflicting purpose as a way to detect a parent Nvim (use |$NVIM| for that). It is unset by |terminal| and |jobstart()| (unless explicitly given by the "env" option). Ignored if --listen is given. Events ~ *BufCreate* Use |BufAdd| instead. *EncodingChanged* Never fired; 'encoding' is always "utf-8". *FileEncoding* Never fired; equivalent to |EncodingChanged|. *GUIEnter* Never fired; use |UIEnter| instead. *GUIFailed* Never fired. Keycodes ~ ** Use instead. ** Use instead. Functions ~ *buffer_exists()* Obsolete name for |bufexists()|. *buffer_name()* Obsolete name for |bufname()|. *buffer_number()* Obsolete name for |bufnr()|. *file_readable()* Obsolete name for |filereadable()|. *highlight_exists()* Obsolete name for |hlexists()|. *highlightID()* Obsolete name for |hlID()|. *inputdialog()* Use |input()| instead. *jobclose()* Obsolete name for |chanclose()| *jobsend()* Obsolete name for |chansend()| *last_buffer_nr()* Obsolete name for bufnr("$"). *rpcstop()* Deprecated.

Highlights ~ *hl-VertSplit* Use |hl-WinSeparator| instead. LSP Diagnostics ~ For each of the functions below, use the corresponding function in |vim.diagnostic| instead (unless otherwise noted). For example, use |vim.diagnostic.get()| instead of |vim.lsp.diagnostic.get()|. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.clear()* Use |vim.diagnostic.hide()| instead. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.disable()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.display()* Use |vim.diagnostic.show()| instead. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.enable()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_all()* Use |vim.diagnostic.get()| instead. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_count()* Use |vim.diagnostic.get()| instead. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_line_diagnostics()* Use |vim.diagnostic.get()| instead. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_next()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_next_pos()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_prev()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_prev_pos()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_virtual_text_chunks_for_line()* No replacement. Use options provided by |vim.diagnostic.config()| to customize virtual text. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.goto_next()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.goto_prev()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.redraw()* Use |vim.diagnostic.show()| instead. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.reset()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.save()* Use |vim.diagnostic.set()| instead. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_loclist()* Use |vim.diagnostic.setloclist()| instead. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_qflist()* Use |vim.diagnostic.setqflist()| instead. The following have been replaced by |vim.diagnostic.open_float()|. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.show_line_diagnostics()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.show_position_diagnostics()* The following are deprecated without replacement. These functions are moved internally and are no longer exposed as part of the API. Instead, use |vim.diagnostic.config()| and |vim.diagnostic.show()|. *vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_signs()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_underline()* *vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_virtual_text()* LSP Utility Functions ~ *vim.lsp.util.diagnostics_to_items()* Use |vim.diagnostic.toqflist()| instead. *vim.lsp.util.set_qflist()* Use |setqflist()| instead. *vim.lsp.util.set_loclist()* Use |setloclist()| instead. Lua ~ *vim.register_keystroke_callback()* Use |vim.on_key()| instead. Modifiers ~ *cpo-<* *:menu-* *:menu-special* <> notation is always enabled. *:map-* *:map-special* <> notation is always enabled.
