any socket.
HIGHLIGHTS

LSP DIAGNOSTICS
For each of the functions below, use the corresponding function in

|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()*

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 FUNCTIONS
- *vim.lsp.buf.server_ready()*
Use |LspAttach| instead, depending on your use-case. "Server ready" is not
part of the LSP spec, so the Nvim LSP client cannot meaningfully implement
it. "Ready" is ambiguous because:
- Language servers may finish analyzing the workspace, but edits can always
re-trigger analysis/builds.
- Language servers can serve some requests even while processing changes.
- *vim.lsp.buf.range_code_action()* Use |vim.lsp.buf.code_action()| with
the `range` parameter.
- *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.
- *vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()* Use |vim.lsp.get_active_clients()| with
{buffer = bufnr} instead.
- *vim.lsp.buf.formatting()* Use |vim.lsp.buf.format()| with
{async = true} instead.
- *vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync()* Use |vim.lsp.buf.format()| with
{async = false} instead.
- *vim.lsp.buf.range_formatting()* Use |vim.lsp.formatexpr()|
or |vim.lsp.buf.format()| instead.
- *vim.lsp.util.get_progress_messages()* Use |vim.lsp.status()| or access
`progress` of |vim.lsp.client|
TREESITTER FUNCTIONS
- *vim.treesitter.language.require_language()* Use |vim.treesitter.language.add()|
instead.
- *vim.treesitter.get_node_at_pos()* Use |vim.treesitter.get_node()|
instead.
- *vim.treesitter.get_node_at_cursor()* Use |vim.treesitter.get_node()|
and |TSNode:type()| instead.
- *vim.treesitter.query.get_query()* Use |vim.treesitter.query.get()|
instead.
LUA
- vim.register_keystroke_callback() Use |vim.on_key()| instead.
- *vim.pretty_print()* Use |vim.print()| instead.
- *vim.loop* Use |vim.uv| instead.
NORMAL COMMANDS
- *]f* *[f* Same as "gf".
OPTIONS
- *cpo-<* *:menu-<special>* *:menu-special* *:map-<special>* *:map-special*
`<>` notation is always enabled.
- 'gdefault' Enables the |:substitute| flag 'g' by default.
- *'fe'* 'fenc'+'enc' before Vim 6.0; no longer used.

- Disables mappings in Insert, Cmdline mode.
