                             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 ~
*<MouseDown>*		Use <ScrollWheelUp> instead.
*<MouseUp>*		Use <ScrollWheelDown> 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. Instead use |jobstop()| to stop any job,
			or chanclose(id, "rpc") to close RPC communication
			without stopping the job. Use chanclose(id) to close
			any socket.

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_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.

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()*
