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:
The fallback that tokenizes `eap->arg` by unescaped whitespace (when the
parser doesn't pre-split via `EX_EXPAND` etc.) lives in `nlua_do_ucmd`,
so only user-command callbacks got `eap.fargs`. Builtin commands routed
through `nlua_call_excmd` have to re-parse the args themselves
(e.g. `M.ex_lsp`).
Solution:
- Move the tokenization into `nlua_push_eap` so every Lua handler sees
`eap.fargs`. Keep only the `EX_NOSPC` override in `nlua_do_ucmd` (the
`nargs=1`/`?` case which is genuinely user-command-specific).
- Drop the re-parse in `M.ex_lsp`.
Problem:
The argument to `:help` is normalized to fit the general tag format.
I.e. i^U-default, iCTRL-U-default and i_CTRL_U-default should all point
to the i_CTRL_U-default tag. Our normalization adds an underscore around
the CTRL keycode, e.g. iCTRL-GCTRL-J becomes i_CTRL-G_CTRL-J. That's not
necessary if the following part starts with a dash, like the case of
iCTRL-U-default.
Solution:
Do not insert an underscore if the following character is a dash/minus
(-).
Problem:
followup to 55ceb314ca#39478
`:oldfiles` and swapfile `:recover` do not delegate to `vim.ui.select`.
Solution:
- Delegate to `vim.ui.select`.
- Fix a long-standing `recover_names` bug where `concat_fnames(dir_name,
files[i], true)` produced malformed `<dir>//<dir>/<file>` paths (also
fixes `swapfilelist()`).
Problem: No message kind and multiple events for :recover and
(non-prompt) swapfile attention messages.
Solution: Assign these the "list_cmd" and "wmsg" kind.
Problem:
On Windows, path separators may become inconsistent for various reasons,
which makes normalization quite painful.
Solution:
Normalize paths to `/` at the entry boundaries and always use it
internally, converting back only in rare cases where `\` is really
needed (e.g. cmd.exe/bat scripts?).
This is the first commit in a series of incremental steps.
Note:
* some funcs won't respect shellslash. e.g. `expand/fnamemodify`
* some funcs still respect shellslash, but will be updated in a follow
PR. e.g. `ex_pwd/f_chdir/f_getcwd`
* uv's built-in funcs always return `\`. e.g. `uv.cwd/uv.exepath`

Problem:
We should not use "\" (backslashes) except where absolutely required.
See references in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/37729
Solution:
There is no reason to use "\" slashes in the trust db, so don't.
Problem:
`vim.secure.trust()` hashes an unchanged empty buffer as
a newline, so trusting an empty file by buffer never works.
Solution:
Hash unchanged empty-buffers `''` so buffer-based
trust matches the on-disk empty file.
Problem: `:write ++patate foo` doesn't error out, instead it turns on
mkdir_p and uses "atate foo" as the filename. Same with ++edit.
The parser just does strncmp without checking what comes after.
Solution: require the next char after the option name to not be a
letter
Although `nlua_call_excmd` is semantically for implementing Ex-commands,
the `require()` should never fail, so that's a "Lua error".
But if the call itself fails (the later `semsg` call), that's an "Ex
cmd" error.
Problem: Normal Windows builtin-TUI startup spawns the embedded server as DETACHED_PROCESS, which breaks Ctrl-C delivery to :terminal jobs.
Solution: Restores the default behavior once the embedded server has a
console so terminal jobs inherit it.
Problem: close_buffer() callers incorrectly handle b_nwindows,
especially after nasty autocmds, allowing it to go
out-of-sync. May lead to buffers that can't be unloaded, or
buffers that are prematurely freed whilst displayed.
Solution: Modify close_buffer() and review its callers; let them
decrement b_nwindows if it didn't unload the buffer. Remove
some now unneeded workarounds like 8.2.2354, 9.1.0143,
9.1.0764, which didn't always work (Sean Dewar)
(endless yapping omitted)
related: vim/vim#19728bf21df1c7b
b_nwindows = 0 change for free_all_mem() was already ported.
Originally Nvim returned true when b_nwindows was decremented before the end was
reached (to better indicate the decrement). That's not needed anymore, so just
return true only at the end, like Vim. (retval isn't used anywhere now anyways)
Set textlock for dict watchers at the end of close_buffer() to prevent them from
switching windows, as that can leave a window with a NULL buffer. (possible
before this PR, but the new assert catches it; added a test)
Despite textlock, things still aren't ideal, as watchers may observe the buffer
as unloaded and hidden (b_nwindows was decremented), yet still in a window...
Likewise, for Nvim, wipe_qf_buffer()'s comment may not be entirely accurate;
autocmds are blocked, but on_detach callbacks (textlocked) and dict watchers may
still run. Might be problematic, but those aren't new issues.

Problem
Unlike inlay hints, code lenses are closely related to running commands;
a significant number of code lenses are used to execute a command (such
as running tests). Therefore, it is necessary to provide a default
mapping for them.
Solution
Add a new default mapping "grx" (mnemonic: "eXecute", like "gx").
Problem:
Right-click menu fails with E335 when using V in Insert mode (after
i_ctrl-o). The mode detection checks restart_edit before VIsual_active,
incorrectly selecting Insert mode binding even when Visual mode is
active.
Solution:
Check Visual mode before Insert mode, to match get_menu_mode() priority
order.
Problem:
"Sorry" in a message (1) is noise, and (2) actually reduces the clarity
of the message because the titlecasing of "Sorry" distracts from the
actually important part of the message.
Solution:
Drop "Sorry" from messages.
Problem:
`K` in help files may fail in some noisy text. Example:
(`fun(config: vim.lsp.ClientConfig): boolean`)
^cursor
Solution:
- `:help!` (bang, no args) activates DWIM behavior: tries `<cWORD>`,
then trims punctuation until a valid tag is found.
- Set `keywordprg=:help!` by default.
- Does not affect `CTRL-]`, that is still fully "tags" based.
Problem: :terminal CWD restoration test may lead to an error log if
after_each() runs before the PTY process calls chdir().
Solution: Wait for some time before wiping the buffer, which can also
prevent SIGHUP being sent to the parent.
Problem:
When a terminal process exits, "[Process Exited]" text is added
to the buffer contents.
Solution:
- Return `exitcode` field from `nvim_get_chan_info`.
- Show it in the default 'statusline'.
- Show exitcode as virtual text in the terminal buffer.
Define a CMake target for every subdirectory of test/functional that
contains functional tests, and a functionaltest_parallel target that
depends on all those targets, allowing multiple test runners to run in
parallel.
On CI, use at most 2 parallel test runners, as using more may increase
system load and make tests unstable.
Problem:
bw_rest was used as an extra buffer to save incomplete byte sequences
between calls to buf_write_bytes. Besides being unnecessarily
complicated, this introduced a number of issues:
1) The bytes stored in bw_rest could still be there at the end of
writing the file, never having been written, thus losing some of the
file content on write.
2) bw_rest was not cleared out after the "checking_conversion" phase,
leaving them to affect the written file content during the writing
phase, corrupting the file.
3) bw_rest could contain extra bytes that need to be written to the
output buffer during a buf_write_convert call, potentially before any
bytes are consumed. But some conversions are in-place, without a
separate output buffer. Writing bytes from bw_rest to the "output"
buffer actually overwrote bytes from the input buffer before they were
read, corrupting the data to be written.
4) The extra bytes in bw_rest that need to be written to the conversion
output buffer were not originally accounted for in the size calculation
for the output buffer, causing a buffer overflow (previously fixed in
Vim patch 9.1.2028).
Solution:
Rather than maintaining a separate buffer, the unconverted bytes at the
end of the buffer can just be shifted to the beginning of the buffer,
and the buffer size updated. This requires a bit of refactoring, and
buf_write_convert and buf_write_convert_with_iconv need to report the
number of bytes they consumed so that buf_write_bytes can handle the
remaining bytes.
Following conversion, bw_buf can be checked for any remaining bytes.
Leftover bytes in this case result in a conversion error, which is
better than silently dropping them.
A short section of dead code was removed from buf_write_convert, for
converting a non-UTF-8 buffer to UTF-8. Neovim buffers are always UTF-8.
A few additional tests for iconv conversions have been added. Vim's
iconv tests are disabled in Neovim because they use unsupported values
for 'encoding'.
TermCursor already has cterm=reverse. Additionally, now that terminal
buffers have a real cursor, the cterm=reverse in TermCursor no longer
shows up in the screen state.
Problem:
Escaping logic for {subject} in ex cmd `:help {subject}` is done in a
messy 200+ lines C function which is hard to maintain and improve.
Solution:
Rewrite in Lua. Use `string.gsub()` instead of looping over characters
to improve clarity and add many more tests to be able to confidently
improve current code later on.
Problem: Newlines intended to write messages below the cmdline or to
mark the start of a new message on message grid are emitted
through ext_messages. This results in unnecessary newlines for
a UI that has decoupled its message area from the cmdline.
msg_col is set directly in some places which is not transmitted
to msg_show events.
Various missing message kind for list commands.
Trailing newlines on various list commands.
Solution: Only emit such newlines without ext_messages enabled.
Use msg_advance() instead of setting msg_col directly.
Assign them the "list_cmd" kind.
Ensure no trailing newline is printed.
Problem:
Temporary files from /tmp/ and /private/ paths clutter :oldfiles list.
Additionally, the documented Windows default (rA:,rB:) was never applied
due to a missing platform condition.
Solution:
Drop platform-specific shada differences and default to excluding
/tmp/ and /private/ paths.
Problem:
On Windows, writing to a pipe doesn't work if the pipe isn't connected
yet. This causes an RPC request to a session newly created by connect()
to hang, as it's waiting for a response to a request that never reaches
the server.
Solution:
Wait for uv.pipe_connect() callback to be called when using connect().
Problem:
Can't use `:source` to run a Lua codeblock (treesitter injection) in
a help (vimdoc) file.
Solution:
Use treesitter to parse the range and treat it as Lua if detected as
such.
