Problem: Commands that rely on Git may need its version to perform more
targeted actions (like decide which arguments are safe to use).
For performance, computing this version is delayed up until it is
needed (like to not compute on regular startup), but not done before
every Git operation (as it is too much and can be done better).
This requires storing the Git version in a variable which is currently
initiated via `vim.version.parse()` call (most probably because it was
easier to handle Lua types this way).
However, the problem is that this results in sourcing `vim.version`
and computing `vim.version.parse` on every startup even if no Git
operation would be done.
Solution: Don't call `vim.version.parse()` during `require('vim.pack')`
and ensure its more precise lazy computation.
Problem:
Running `:Open` on an open buffer does not run `vim.ui.open()` on that file, requiring the user to type `:Open %`. This is inconsistent with most other vim commands which accept files, which default to the current buffer's file.
Solution:
Default to the current file when `:Open` is used without arguments.
Problem:
Apparently vim.SystemCompleted.stdout can also be nil, even without a
custom stdout handler. (Although the docs can be interpreted otherwise).
Solution:
Explicitly check for nil and set the result body to an empty string if
stdout was nil.
Problem: Computing number of threads for parallel asynchronous
computation using `uv.cpu_info()` can be slow. This is especially
noticeable since it is pre-computed on every `require('vim.pack')` and
not only when parallelism is needed.
Solution: Use `uv.available_parallelism()` to compute number of threads
in a helper function.
Problem: When messages are appended to an already expanded cmdline,
the spilled lines indicator is not updated.
Solution: Remove early return for updating virtual text while cmdline is
expanded, guard updating "msg" virt_text at callsite instead.
- Don't go over 78 columns.
- Change the first "and" to "or", as "or" is used below.
- Change "takes one" to "switches", as "one" may be mistaken as
referring to the command instead of the user.
- Use backticks in :h 'autowriteall' like in :h 'autowrite'.

Problem:
LSP error responses implicitly rely on a custom `__tostring` function
(`vim.lsp.rpc.format_rpc_error`) for formatting. This causes errors that are not
created via `vim.lsp.rpc.error` to behave inconsistently with those that are.
Furthermore, we usually use `log.error` to print these errors, which uses
`vim.inspect` under the hood, so the custom `__tostring` provides little
benefit.
This increases the difficulty of refactoring the code, as it tightly couples RPC
error handling with the LSP.
Solution:
Convert every potential `__tostring` call to an explicit one. Since we don't
describe this behavior in the documentation, this should not be a breaking
change.
Problem: tests: test_modeline.vim fails (after v9.2.0276)
Solution: Rewrite the tests to use the existing s:modeline_fails()
function, update documentation (zeertzjq).

Problem: 'showcmd' causes flickering when pressing "g<" to enter the
pager when the cmdline is expanded for messages.
Initial keypress for an incomplete mapping is not giving 'showcmd'
feedback while cmdline is expanded for messages (which is only
dismissed upon the vim.on_key callback after 'timeoutlen').
Solution: Delay dismissing expanded cmdline when vim.on_key() callback
receives "g".
Place 'showcmd' "last" virtual text during expanded cmdline.
Problem: Cmdline is not redrawn after an empty message clears it.
Remembered last drawn cursor position may be outdated but
equal to the current cmdline content with UI2.
Solution: Ensure cmdline is redrawn after an empty message clears it.
Compare wanted cursor position with actual cursor position.
Problem: `vim._core.ui2.enable` requires passing an empty table for
default options, unlike other (native) Lua API.
Solution: Initialize `opts` with empty table if `nil` is passed.
Problem: Mixing "buf" and "M.bufs.msg" in M.msg:start_timer().
Cannot run `require("vim._core.ui2").enable(nil)`.
Solution: Replace "M.bufs.msg" with "buf". Allow `opts == nil`.

Problem:
LSP jump operations such as `buf.definition`/`buf.type_definition` do
not follow the 'switchbuf' option. Instead their behavior is controlled
by `vim.lsp.LocationOpts.reuse_win`. When `reuse_win=true`, the effect
is very similar to `set switchbuf=useopen`.
Note that functions like `buf.definition` open the quickfix
window when there are multiple results, and jumping between quickfix
entries already follows 'switchbuf', so unifying the behavior is more
intuitive.
Solution:
Follow the 'switchbuf' option and drop `reuse_win`.
We can achieve this behavior by using :cfirst when the quickfix list has
only one item, rather than customizing the jump logic as before.
Problem:
The snippet preview is not being highlighted by treesitter for
completion items from servers which don't support
`completionItem/resolve` (like gopls). This was broken by #38428.
Solution:
Call `update_popup_window` after updating the completion item with the
snippet preview.
I've added assertions to the `selecting an item triggers
completionItem/resolve + (snippet) preview` test case which covers the
snippet preview being shown since no tests failed when I removed the
`nvim__complete_set` call which actually populates the preview on this
codepath.
Problem:
Using nested `vim.Pos` objects to represent each `vim.Range` object
requires 3 tables for each `vim.Range`, which may be undesirable in
performance critical code. Using key-value tables performs worse than
using array-like tables (lists).
Solution:
Use array-like indices for the internal fields of both `vim.Pos` and
`vim.Range` objects. Use a metatable to allow users to access them like
if they were key-value tables.
---
Problem:
The `vim.Pos` conversion interface for `extmark` indexing does not take
into account the difference in how a position on top of a newline is
represented in `vim.Pos` and `extmark`.
- `vim.Pos`: for a newline at the end of row `n`, `row` takes the value
`n + 1` and `col` takes the value `0`.
- `extmark`: for a newline at the end of for `n`, `row` takes the value
`n` and `col` takes the value `#row_text`.
Solution:
Handle this in the `extmark` interface.
---
Problem:
Not all `to_xxx` interfaces have wrapping objects like `to_lsp`.
Solution:
Return unwrapped values in `to_xxx` interfaces where it makes sense.
Accept unwrapped values in "from" interfaces where it makes sense.
---
Problem:
`start` and `end` positions have different semantics, so they can't be
compared. `vim.Range` relies on comparing the `end` and `start` of two
ranges to decide which one is greater, which doesn't work as expected
because this of the different semantics.
For example, for the ranges:
local a = {
start = { row = 0, col = 22, },
end_ = { row = 0, col = 24, },
}
local b = {
start = { row = 0, col = 17, },
end_ = { row = 0, col = 22, },
}
in this code:
local foo, bar = "foo", "bar"
-- |---||-|
-- b a
The range `b` is smaller than the range `a`, but the current
implementation compares `b._end` (`col = 22`) and `a.start` (`col = 22`)
and concludes that, since `b.col` is not smaller than `a.col`, `b`
should be greater than `a`.
Solution:
- Use a `to_inclusive_pos` to normalize end positions inside of
`vim.Range` whenever a comparison between a start and an end position
is necessary.
Problem:
failures in s390x CI.
Solution:
- runtime/lua/man.lua: parse_path() can return nil but 3 callers didn't handle it.
- skip some tests on s390x.

Problem:
- Progress-events are filtered by "source". But "source" is not required by nvim_echo.
- Without "++nested" (force=false), nvim_echo in an event-handler does not trigger Progress events.
- vim.health does not declare a "source".
Solution:
- Make source mandatory for progress-messages
- Enable ++nested (force=true) by default when firing Progress event.
- Set "source" in vim.health module.
Problem:
When following this example from our docs the Copilot LSP won't attach.
Solution:
Add `init_options` as done by [`nvim-lspconfig`](1a6d692067/lsp/copilot.lua (L112-L121)).
Problem:
Currently, we recommend always inserting text above prompt-line in
prompt-buffer. This can be done using the `:` mark. However, although
we recommend it this way it can sometimes get confusing how to do it
best.
Solution:
Provide an api to append text to prompt buffer. This is a common
use-case for things using prompt-buffer.
Problem: Progress reports via `nvim_echo()` gained an ability to set
`source` and `vim.pack` doesn't currently set one.
Solution: Set `source` to 'vim.pack'. Ideally, the title then can be
something else more informative (like "update", "download", etc.), but
it is used when showing progress messages. So it has to be "vim.pack"
in this case.
Problem:
Currently, there's no way to distinguish progress messages coming from
different sources. Nor can Progress event be easily filtered based on
source.
Solution:
- Add "source" field to nvim_echo-opts.
- The Progress event pattern is now defined by the "source" field.
- Include the "title" as ev.data.
- Unrelated change: set force=false to disable nesting.
fix(ui2): prevent <CR> from focusing pager in insert/terminal mode
Problem: <CR> in insert/terminal mode can focus pager unexpectedly.
Solution: Don't enter the pager when <CR> is pressed during expanded
cmdline in insert/terminal mode.
Problem: When entering the cmdline below expanded messages, those
messages are moved to the dialog window. The dialog window
supports paging but that is unexpected in this situation where
it just serves to keep (some of, exactly those that were
visible before the cmdline was entered) the messages visible.
Wrong highlight group for dialog "more" message.
Solution: Don't create the `vim.on_key()` dialog pager callback after
entering the cmdline below expanded messages.
Use the MsgMore highlight group for the paging hint title.
Problem:
Currently we are using
if 1 item then
{title}: {percent}%
else
Progress: {AVG}%({N})
dropping {title} and Progress text saves up space in statusline plus makes the format consistent, less jumping around.
Solution:
Use `{AVG}%({N})` for all cases.
Problem:
The fold refresh path for foldminlines/foldnestmax creates a new
FoldInfo and starts an async parse. If FileType or BufUnload re-enters
before that callback returns, foldinfos[bufnr] can be cleared or
replaced. The callback then indexes a stale slot and raises an "attempt
to index a nil value" error.
Solution:
Capture the FoldInfo created for the refresh and carry that object
through the async callback. Before calling foldupdate(), verify that the
buffer still points at the same FoldInfo generation; otherwise ignore
the stale callback.

Problem: nvim_set_hl always replaces all attributes.
Solution: Add update field. When true, merge with existing
attributes instead of replacing. Unspecified attributes are preserved.
If highlight group doesn't exist, falls back to reset mode.
Problem: JSON files should end with a trailing newline so that Unix
tools work as expected, Git doesn't report "No newline at end of file"
and to avoid noise in diffs from editors and other tools adding the
missing newline.
Solution: Add trailing newline.
Problem: - With expanded messages exceeding cfg.msg.cmd.height, entering
the cmdline scrolls to the bottom and expands to the full "cmd"
buffer text height.
- Cursor in the pager is not always at the last message and at
the bottom of the window when appending to the pager.
- unreliable test: messages2_spec: "closed msg window timer removes
empty lines".
Solution: - Achieve separation of the cmdline and message text by moving
messages to the dialog window when entering the cmdline below
expanded messages.
- Set cursor to start of the first message only when first
entering the pager. Use `norm! zb` to position last message
at the bottom of the window (which shouldn't crash anymore
since 911337eb).
- Increase cfg.msg.msg.timeout used in the test file.
Problem:
Currently same progress stat get's displayed on statusline of all
windows. This is repeatitive and noisy.
Solultion:
Only display progress-status on the focused window
Problem:
Currently, when multiple progress are on going we show it as Progress:
{N} items {percent}% format. It can be simplified sinnce items doesn't
really add enough value for the valuable space it takes in statusline
Solution:
Change format to Progress: {percent}%({N})
