Problem: Cmdline ruler may be drawn for autocommand window.
Solution: Check that the current window is not an autocommand window
when deciding whether to draw the ruler.
Problem:
The logic for generating the complete item `info` is spread across
`_lsp_to_complete_items`, the `CompleteChanged` event handler, and
`CompletionResolver:request`. This has previously caused the `info`
shown for resolved (via `completionItem/resolve`) and unresolved items
to differ.
Solution:
Centralise the logic in a new `complete_item_info` function which is now
solely responsible for determining:
1. The `info` to show.
2. The markup kind of the `info`.
3. Whether the `info` is complete.
This simplifies the interaction between the 3 functions mentioned in the
problem:
- `_lsp_to_complete_items` calls `complete_item_info` and passes along
the markup kind and whether the item needs resolving via the complete
item's `user_data`.
- The `CompleteChanged` consumes the markup kind and whether the
item needs resolving from the complete item's `user_data`.
- `CompletionResolver:request`, like `_lsp_to_complete_items` calls
`complete_item_info` again and updates the current `info` if it's
changed.
Problem:
`CompletionItem.detail` is only shown in the info popup if the server
supports `completionItem/resolve`.
Solution:
If the server doesn't support `completionItem/resolve`, prepend the
complete item `info` with `CompletionItem.detail` in a fenced codeblock,
same as we do when the server supports `completionItem/resolve`.
To ensure that completion items are displayed in the same way,
regardless of whether the server supports `completionItem/resolve`, i've
extracted out the test logic from the `selecting an item triggers
completionItem/resolve + (snippet) preview` case so that we can run the
same tests against a server which supports `completionItem/resolve` and
one which doesn't. Hopefully this should prevent the two behaviours
diverging again.
Problem:
If `CompletionItem.documentation` is populated but `detail` is not, then
`detail` is not resolved.
Solution:
Ensure that we resolve a `CompletionItem` if either `detail` or
`documentation` are not populated.
I've also removed `detail` from the popup menu since otherwise it will
be populated in both the popup menu and the info popup after the
`CompletionItem` has been resolved. I think the info popup is the best
place for it anyway as when there is a completion item with a long popup
menu entry (when `detail` is a medium/long function signature for
instance), the whole popup menu gets widened and this steals horizontal
space that could be used to display the `documentation`. Now with
`detail` and `documentation` in the info popup, they share the same
horizontal space. This also aligns with how VSCode, nvim-cmp, blink.cmp,
and mini.nvim display `detail`.
Problem:
When a resolved `CompletionItem` with kind `Snippet` populates
`textEdit` instead of `insertText`, the contents are not previewed.
Solution:
Generate the snippet preview from `textEdit.newText` as well.
Problem:
(Followup to 54f22a8f01c0feb27a531b52aedf5cdbd5e51b24.)
Deleting another buffer from a floatwin could move focus into the holder
window and fire BufEnter for the buffer being deleted.
Solution:
Use switch_win_noblock() instead of buf_jump_open_win() before
recursing into do_buffer_ext().
Problem:
`nvim_create_autocmd` is too verbose and its `callback` requires extra
"nesting".
Solution:
Introduce `nvim_on`. Start using it internally. Then we can get a feel
for how it should look before making it public.
Problem: If there are pending messages when starting to build the
runtime search path, a msg_show callback may invoke
runtime_search_path_validate() recursively.
Solution: Avoid msg_show callback by ensuring messages are flushed.
Problem:
Virtual lines above a line where a fold starts show `foldopen` in
`foldcolumn`.
Solution:
Check if the line below the virtual one is inside a fold that starts
higher up or if it's the start of a fold. In the latter case, don't show
anything in `foldcolumn` for the virtual line.
refactor: lint
Problem:
- To share logic, creating a `vim.Range` currently creates two `vim.Pos` values
as intermediates, which causes unnecessary table allocations.
- `pos.lua` and `range.lua` contain some overlapping logic.
Solution:
Add `vim.pos._util`, a module for handling
positions represented directly by `row` and `col`.
Problem: `nvim_exec_autocmds({ buf = ... })` matches the target buffer, but callbacks and modelines run with the caller buffer current rather than the target buffer.
Solution: Execute the buffered path in prepared target-buffer context and restore the caller afterward.
Problem:
When mouse=n is set
- Dragging the mouse enters visual mode, and then stops listening for
mouse events.
- Double/Triple/Quad clicking performs selections.
- Clicking in visual mode moves the cursor (though not through the TUI).
Solution:
Explicitly gate mouse actions that affect visual mode with a check for
MOUSE_VISUAL. This matches the behavior described in :help mouse.
> If enabled for "v" (Visual mode) then double-click selects word-wise,
> triple-click makes it line-wise, and quadruple-click makes it
> rectangular block-wise.
Problem:
Visual selection could end up in the wrong place after
nvim_buf_set_text or nvim_buf_set_lines. In some delete cases,
Visual.lnum was already clamped before the line shift happened, so the
adjustment got skipped.
Solution:
Split fix_cursor_cols into reusable fix_pos_col logic and reuse it
for Visual updates. Also adjust Visual.lnum before changed_lines so
the shift uses the original position before final clamping.
Problem:
After 767fbd8, typing trigger chars would open completion but the
chars were removed.
Solution:
Use filterText fallback so selected item respects typed trigger chars.
Problem:
- Windows users can't use terminfo to configure their terminal
capabilities. #37274
- Terminfo definitions sometimes get out of date or are simply
inaccurate.
- Eventually, we may want to drop terminfo, relying primarily on
built-in definitions. Users will still need some flexibility.
Solution:
Support $NVIM_TERMDEFS environment variable, which is JSON data that
defines "terminfo" definitions that override our builtin terminfo.
Problem:
During startup, we manually trigger a useless and misleading `OptionSet`
event, which doesn't set `v:option_*` values (this is a limitation of
`nvim_exec_autocmds`).
ad4bc2d90c/runtime/lua/vim/_core/defaults.lua (L939).
Solution:
The `nvim_exec_autocmds('OptionSet',…)` call does not serve any purpose
since 5cbb9d613b, so just drop it.
Problem:
PlainText completion items used `textEdit.newText` or `insertText` as
the completion word even when they did not match the typed prefix. This
could break popup completion behavior like 'completeopt+=longest'.
Solution:
Fall back to `filterText` when `newText` or `insertText` does not match
the typed prefix.
Problem: There is currently no convenient way to programmatically check
for new updates from plugin source. Running `vim.pack.update()` is one
approach, but it opens a confirmation buffer that requires a manual
action to close.
Solution: Add `opts.offline` to `vim.pack.get()` that will first fetch
new updates from plugin source before computing the output.
Problem: No convenient way to programmatically get the revision that
would be checked out after `vim.pack.update()` (with `offline=true`).
Doing this manually requires resolving `spec.version` which is not
trivial. This data can be useful for custom reporting of pending
updates or third party confirmation step.
Solution: Make `get()` include a new field for the revision that points
at the state after applying pending update. This is also the same as
the revision of resolved `spec.version`.
Problem: `fnamemodify(..., ':h')` mishandles POSIX leading slash runs longer than `//`.
Solution: Collapse those slash runs to `/` before computing the head.
Problem:
2d795face6 added support for tab-local options ('cmdheight')
to `nvim_get_option_value`, but not to:
nvim_get_option_info2()
nvim_set_option_value(…, { tab = … })
gettabwinvar()
Solution:
- Update `options.lua` to model tab-local options. Introduce `kOptScopeTab`.
- Handle tab scope in the options layer so it works for all options APIs.
Note:
- No change to `gettabvar()`. Not sure if needed/wanted.
fix https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/31140
Problem: `vim.pack.get()` always uses lockfile as the source for the
`rev` field. This is fast, but may be misleading in case of
a corrupted lockfile.
Solution: Compute revision from Git repo on disk if `info=true`
(default), use lockfile otherwise. This does increase execution time
(as a result of one extra `git ...` call for every plugin), but
`info=true` is already designed to be informative and not necessarily
fast.
Problem:
No way to handle a "tab moved" event.
Use-case: tabline plugins may cache tab labels, and need to know when to
invalidate their cache.
Solution:
Add a `TabMoved` event that triggers whenever tabs are reordered via `:tabmove`
or via mouse click-and-drag.
Problem:
After closing and reopening Neovim, ]' and [' fail with E92: Buffer 0
not found for marks restored from ShaDa. Direct jumps like 'a work
because mark_get_local() rewrites fnum before returning, but ]' uses
getnextmark() which does not, leaving fnum = 0.
Solution:
Set .fnum = buf->b_fnum when restoring local marks from ShaDa.
Problem: with a float focused and the target buf only shown in the
last non-float window, do_buffer_ext goes down the buf != curbuf
path. close_windows can't touch the last non-float, b_nwindows stays
> 0, close_buffer is skipped, returns OK silently.
Solution: if a non-float still holds buf after close_windows, jump
into it and recurse. Then buf == curbuf and the existing replacement
path takes over.
Problem:
There is a lot of overlap between terminal and prompt buffer, but no
easy way to limit the number of lines kept above the prompt to prevent
performance and other issues. This is desirable for both example
use cases in current documentation, chat UI and repl/shell plugins.
Solution:
Use existing 'scrollback' option to limit prompt-buffer lines
as well.

Problem:
API clients cannot query the tab-local value of 'cmdheight'.
Solution:
Allow nvim_get_option_value() to accept { tab = <tab-ID> } for 'cmdheight'.
Define `:packupdate` and `:packdel` as separate commands instead of a
unified `:pack {subcommand}` because the semantics between the two
commands vary differently enough that it doesn't make sense to combine
them. Additionally, `:pack! update/del` looks bad.
Problem:
Using the `DiffTool` plugin (e.g. through `nvim -d ...` or `:DiffTool
<file1> <file2>` fails if a space is in one of the paths. This occurs
because the `diff` wraps the paths with quotes (`'`) if space
characters are present, which the line diff regex fails to parse.
Solution:
Update regex to handle quoted paths by matching the string within the
quotes, if it exists.
Problem:
- Configuring the height of one of the message targets to 1 is
recognized as 100% of 'lines'.
- Cmdline is expanded for message exceeding 'cmdheight' even if the
configured height is smaller than or equal to 'cmdheight'.
Solution:
- Recognize a height of 1 as absolute; a decimal number smaller than 1
is taken as a fraction of 'lines' (replace 1 with 0.999 for the old
behavior).
- Don't expand the cmdline if the configured height doesn't allow it.
Problem:
The Lua test harness still ran through standalone -ll mode, so tests
depended on the low-level Lua path instead of the regular Nvim Lua
environment. That also meant os.exit() coverage had to carry an ASAN
workaround because Lua's raw process exit skipped Nvim teardown and let
LeakSanitizer interfere with the observed exit code.
Solution:
Run the harness and related fixtures with nvim -l. Patch os.exit() in
the main Lua state to exit through getout(), so scripts observe normal
Nvim shutdown while standalone -ll remains available for generator-style
scripts. As a consequence, the startup test can assert os.exit() without
disabling leak detection.
