Problem:
When 'shellslash' is set, exepath() returns forward-slashed paths.
Passing that path to vim.system() can prevent cmd.exe from launching.
Solution:
Convert the resolved executable path to native separators before spawning.
Add a Windows regression test for cmd.exe with 'shellslash' enabled.
Problem:
The existing `showmode` overlay can immediately cover messages emitted while
Visual mode is active, including the `g CTRL-G` word count.
Solution:
Protect Visual mode messages with the existing message delay and temporarily
hide the previous last-line overlay until it is restored.
Problem:
LSP hover erroneously drops blank lines before a 4-space-indented
codeblock, which is not valid Markdown. This causes incorrect parsing
and wrong display.
Solution:
Fix `split_lines` so that it doesn't drop the blank line just before
a 4-space-indented codeblock.

Problem:
`vim.diagnostic.handlers.underline.show` throws `E565: Index out of bounds` when
it tries to underline a diagnostic whose `lnum` is past the end of the buffer.
This happens with stale diagnostics set on an unloaded buffer (e.g. via
`bufadd()`) that are drawn only after the buffer is loaded: by then the file on
disk can be shorter than the `lnum` the diagnostic carried. File pickers
(snacks.nvim) that open files via `bufadd` + `:buffer` hit this whenever an LSP
server has already emitted diagnostics for that URI.
Solution:
Skip diagnostics with an out-of-range `lnum` in the underline handler.
Other handlers `M.virtual_text.show()`, `M.signs.show()`, have a similar condition.
Problem:
A floating preview window (hover, signature help) converted to a normal
window (e.g. with CTRL-W_H or nvim_win_set_config()) is still closed by
the open_floating_preview() autocommands, and a later preview may focus
or close it as if it were still a float.
Solution:
When the preview window is no longer floating, remove its auto-close
autocommands and stop tracking it as the buffer's floating preview.
Closes#36659
Problem:
nvim_create_autocmd() isn't |api-fast|, so modules that create autocmds
(e.g. vim.treesitter.query) can't be require()d in a fast event context.
Solution:
Mark it |api-fast|. Compile autocmd patterns with RE_NOBREAK so
aucmd_next() won't os_breakcheck() mid-iteration, where a fast
nvim_create_autocmd() could realloc the autocmds vector and dangle the
caller's AutoPat/AutoCmd.
RE_NOBREAK is low-risk because:
- aucmd_next()'s loop checks CTRL-C: `(for (… i < apc->ausize && !got_int; …)`.
- `line_breakcheck()` (`autocmd.c:1912`) runs once per matched autocmd.
- Each autocmd _execution_ runs through `do_cmdline`, which has its own
breakchecks.
However this does admit risk of a pathological case:
a catastrophic-backtracking glob matched against a very long `User`
event-pattern.

Problems:
1. Can't get individual parts of a key-chord separately: modifiers, key.
2. Can't separate a key-combo into individual key-chords.
Solution:
Enhance `vim.keycode()` to optionally return a structured parse result
as a list of key-chords:
- `key_raw` the key-chord (problem 2)
- `mod` the modifiers of `key_raw` (problem 1)
- `key_orig` the key part of the key-chord, only here if differing from `key`
(this doesn't solve any of the above mentioned problems, but it may provide
useful and it's (in terms of code) free)
- `key` a normalized version of `key_orig` (solving problem 1), example(the
first is `key_orig` and second is `key`): `lt` and `<`, `Bar` and `|` (in
`<C-Bar>`)
Problem: filetype: hip files are not recognized
Solution: Detect *.hip files as hip filetype, include filetype, syntax
and indent plugins, update makemenu.vim and synmenu.vim (Young)
Round out HIP (Heterogeneous-compute Interface for Portability) support
to mirror the existing CUDA files:
- autoload/dist/ft.vim: detect the ".hip" extension as filetype "hip"
- ftplugin/hip.vim: behave like C++ by sourcing ftplugin/cpp.vim
- indent/hip.vim: use cindent, like indent/cuda.vim
- makemenu.vim / synmenu.vim: add a Syntax menu entry
The syntax/hip.vim file already sources syntax/cpp.vim and adds the
HIP-specific keywords, matching syntax/cuda.vim.

Problem: values from completionList.itemDefaults always replace the
item's own commitCharacters and data. Since 3.18 a server can ask for
them to be merged instead.
Solution: Handle CompletionList.applyKind and advertise applyKindSupport.
Drop itemDefaults once folded into the items: get_items() runs twice on
the same result and a Merge isn't idempotent.

Problem:
`nvim__ui_detach` was added in 85e0559d46 in order to implement
`detach_others` from Lua. Using Lua in this case is doing more harm than
good.
Solution:
Extract `ui_detach_channel`, which also allows it to be used for the
"self detach" path from `ex_detach`.
Bonus: the old MSWIN path always called `os_swap_to_hidden_console()`;
now `ui_detach_channel` only does so for a stdio channel. For the common
stdio TUI this is identical; for a socket UI it's more correct (no
parent console to swap).
Problem:
Third-party directory browsers do not have a documented way to take over local
directory buffers from nvim.dir.
Solution:
Document deleting the nvim.dir augroup and handling FileType directory as the
after-startup handoff, and avoid installing the built-in buffer-local "-" mapping
when "-" is already mapped.
Problem: LSP completion commitCharacters are not handled. Typing a
commit character (e.g. `.`, `(`, `;`) while a completion item is
selected does not accept the item first.
Solution: Store commit characters as a flat string in complete-items.
Check it before completion stops, accept the match and let
the character be inserted normally.
Problem: Every LSP capability that sends a request on a document change
to update its state was using its own buffer-local autocmd to do so.
That means there is a separate autocmd per buffer per active
capability/feature, and the actual code inside the autocmd callback was
virtually identical. The same problem occurred for capabilities that had
components to draw on the screen that had their own decoration providers.
Solution: Introduce a central `LspNotify` autocmd and decoration
provider in the capability module itself. New base class methods
`on_close` and `on_change` that take a client_id have been provided, for
`didClose` and `didOpen`/`didChange` notifications respectively. New
base class method `on_win` that takes topline and botline has been
provided to add extmarks or perform other work when lines of a buffer
are being drawn.
The autocmd callback loops through each active capability instance for
the buffer and calls a corresponding method with the triggering
client_id if it is currently attached to the buffer that triggered the
autocmd. The decoration provider just calls on_win for all active
capabilities on the buffer.
This slightly tweaks folding range to make use of these new client-id
specific callbacks.
Problem
The current list of properties for inlay hint resolve support includes a
non-existent "location". This field should be "label.location" according
to the specification. Tooltips and commands for inlay hint "parts"
aren't advertised as being resolvable.
Solution
Remove "location" and add "label.location", "label.tooltip", and
"label.command".
Closes#40740
Problem:
- No UI for listing extmarks.
- `:marks` doesn't support cmdline-completion.
Solution:
- Add completion and extmarks support to `:marks`.
- Update `get_buf_local_marks` to include the ":" (prompt-buffer) mark.
Problem:
Vimscript ftplugins that inherit a base ftplugin often use explicit
`runtime! ftplugin/foo.vim` patterns. This skips corresponding Lua
ftplugins, unlike top-level ftplugin loading.
Solution:
Use the existing `{vim,lua}` patterns for bang runtime imports while
preserving each call's current lookup breadth.
Problem:
This functions are most likely never used in the wild.
- They are redundant with `nvim_get_context` + `nvim_load_context`.
- The "context" concept was never fully developed and hasn't gained
traction.
Solution:
Drop these vimscript aliases, they are just extra cruft.
Problem:
After 25439dad7e, `opts` is optional, but not params that follow it.
Solution:
- Update `gen_api_dispatch.lua`, docs, tests.
- Enhance the `nvim_get_api_info()` api-metadata to include a boolean
flag indicating whether a parameter is optional:
```
[type, name, optional]
```
Note: Currently, optional params are assumed to be Dict/Array. Since we
don't yet have any use-cases of optional params following `opts`, the
build just checks this assumption and we can deal with it later if we
ever care to:
nvim_get_hl: optional param "foo" has type "Integer" but (currently)
we assume Dict/Array
Problem:
|api-contract| allows adding an optional trailing `opts` parameter, but
the dispatch generator still requires every parameter, so `opts` cannot
be omitted.
Solution:
Treat a trailing `Dict(...) *opts` parameter as optional in the generated
RPC and Lua dispatch wrappers.

Problem:
Continue separators normalization, and try to keep it at the
nvim <-> external boundary, e.g., `fn.xxx`, `api.xxx`, `:xxx`
Solution:
some key changes
- normalize `$HOME-windows`
- normalize entry points of changing directory
- `nvim_set_current_dir()`, `chdir()`
- normalize the named pipe
- `--listen` arg, `--server` arg, `:restart`
- `serverstart()`, `sockconnect()`, `serverstop()`
- make `expand()` respect 'shellslash' again
- clean up `did_set_shellslash`
- replace `forward_slash` with `TO_SLASH`
- remove obsolete `TMP_PATHSEPSTR`
- remove `slash_adjust` in `do_autocmd_dirchanged`?
- make `fnamemodify()` always return `/` (except when substituting
separators via `:s`, `:gs` ?)
Note:
- these funcs still apply `slash_adjust` on return, as before:
`:pwd`, `chdir()`, `exepath()`, `getcwd()`
- these funcs alwarys return `/`, unlike before the normalization PRs
- `getcompletion()`, `finddir()`, `findfile()`
Also
- clean up code, comments, formatting and tests
- move `TO_SLASH` from `f_chdir` to `changedir_func`
- move `TO_SLASH` from `f_bufadd` to `buflist_new`

Problem:
Malformed server responses with `null` (vim.NIL) values, do not show
clear error messages.
Solution:
Assert two known, specific cases, to avoid user confusion.
Problem:
- `edit.c` is an unnecessarily misleading and less-discoverable name
than `insert.c`.
- Numerous insert-mode related things are named with a `ins_` prefix.
- There is already a `insexpand.c` module...
Solution:
Rename `edit.c` => `insert.c`.
Problem:
URI buffer names can end with a slash, but slash-ended directory
matching should not preempt URI filetype patterns.
Solution:
Do not use the slash shortcut for names with URI schemes, so those
continue through normal filetype matching.

The purpose of `v:echospace` was to avoid disruptive "Press ENTER"
prompts. Since those are no longer a problem with ui2, the complexity
of maintaining it up-to-date is no longer justified.
Problem: a long message is cropped to keep the ruler visible. But when
the message is repeated, it can be written over the ruler, while the
repetition indicator "(1)" is still placed just before the ruler, which
ends up somewhere inside the message.
Solution: currently, long messages are only cropped when setting the
'last' virttext. Make sure this happens after a repeated long message.
