Why?
- Because we can.
- Because the TUI is just another GUI™
- Because it looks kinda nice, and provides useful context like 1 out of 100
times
Complies with "don't pay for what you don't use".
Some crashes for resizing were unfolded, add tests for those.
Makes the 'scrollback' option more consistent (same default for all buffers) and future-proof.
- Default to -1 for all buffers, but treat it as an implementation detail.
- Document range of 1 - 100_000.
- New terminal buffer by default sets scrollback=10_000 if the global default is -1.
- Existing terminal buffer: On entering terminal-mode or on refresh, if the user explicitly did `:set[local] scbk=-1`, the local value goes to 100_000 (max). (This is undocumented on purpose. Users should work with explicit values in the range of 1-100_000.)
- Return the menu properties, not only its children.
- If the {path} param is given, return only the first node. The "next"
nodes in the linked-list are irrelevant.
- Any long symbol is intentional and should never be hardwrapped.
- Vim help tags are often hyphenated, and hardwrapping on hyphens breaks
the Vim help syntax parser.
Using 'listchars' is a nice way to highlight tabs that were included by accident
for buffers that set 'expandtab'.
But maybe one does not want this for buffers that set 'noexpandtab', so now one
can use:
autocmd FileType go let &l:listchars .= ',tab: '
Problem: Custom operators can't act upon a forced motion. (Christian
Wellenbrock)
Solution: Add the forced motion to the mode() result. (Christian Brabandt,

Decide whether to highlight the visual-selected character under the
cursor, depending on 'guicursor' style:
- Highlight if cursor is blinking or non-block (vertical, horiz).
- Do NOT highlight if cursor is non-blinking block.
Traditionally Vim's visual selection does "reverse mode", which perhaps
conflicts with the non-blinking block cursor. But 'guicursor' defaults
to a vertical bar for selection=exclusive, and this confuses users who
expect to see the text highlighted.

The purpose of the {Nvim} hint was not well-defined, and its usage
inconsistent. It's also unnecessary.

In Vim (and some vestigial parts of Nvim) E319 was a placeholder for
ex_ni commands, i.e. commands that are only available in certain builds
of Vim. That is obviously counter to Nvim's goals: all Nvim commands
are available on all platforms and build types (the remaining ex_ni
commands are actually just missing providers).
We need an error id for "missing provider", so it makes sense to use
E319 for that purpose.

Problem: Using an external diff program is slow and inflexible.
Solution: Include the xdiff library. (Christian Brabandt)
Use it by default.

Before this commit, if user does this:
let g:node_host_prog = '~/.nvm/versions/node/v11.3.0/bin/neovim-node-host'
the "~/" is not expanded to user's home directory.
`:help g:ruby_host_prog` suggests a path with "~/" so technically we
already claimed to support this.
closes https://github.com/neovim/node-client/issues/102
Up to now g:clipboard["copy"] only supported string values invoked as
system commands.
This commit enables the use of VimL functions instead. The function
signatures are the same as in provider/clipboard.vim. A clipboard
provider is expected to store and return a list of lines (i.e. the text)
and a register type (as seen in setreg()).
cache_enabled is ignored if "copy" is provided by a VimL function.
The order was swapped in #4150 to prefer `xsel` but there wasn't a clear
explanation. Meanwhile, `xsel` has been neglected upstream.
Let's trying preferring `xclip` again, we've had a few reports of
problems with `xsel`.

By historical accident, Nvim defaults to background=light. So on a dark
background, `:colorscheme default` looks completely wrong.
The "smart" logic that Vim uses is confusing for anyone who uses Vim on
multiple platforms, so rather than mimic that, pick the (hopefully) most
common default.
- Since Neovim is dark-powered, we assume most users have dark backgrounds.
- Most of the GUIs tend to have a dark background by default.

- TUI: _never_ rely on BCE for implicit clearing, only explicit commands.
- TUI: use unibi_erase_chars when possible.
- TUI: use end-exclusive ranges for invalid and cleared areas
- screen: scrolling leaves scrolled in aree undefined. This is a
conservative change, a client assuming the old semantics will still
behave correctly.
- screen: factor out vsep handling from line drawing. This is needed
anyway for the multigrid refactor.
- screen: simplifications of win_do_lines
