Make sure cmdline updates will receive highlight specifications the same
way as screen cells. This is controlled by the ext_newgrid option so
nothing is changed by default (as screen cells are also not changed by
default). This was already done for the cmdline itself in #8221, this
extends it to cmdline_block. Which currently doesn't store highlights,
but the placeholder should be one that makes sense for future use.
the first implemented UI protocol clients (python-gui and builitin TUI)
allowed the cleared region to be restricted by setting the scroll region.
This was never used by nvim though, and not documented and implemented by
newer clients, to check we remain compatible with both kind of clients,
ensure the scroll region is in a reset state.
Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined
highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and
simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic
identification of builtin and syntax highlights.
Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for
compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin
TUI uses the new line-based protocol.
cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.
channel.c: WIP remove redundant method check and added FUNC_ATTR_NONNULL_ALL macro
channel.c channel_defs.h helpers.c: added Error field to RequestEvent, added no_op handler func
channel.c: use const char* instead of string and cleanup
channel.c; channel_defs.h; helpers.c: removed error from event again; send errors directly to the channel without using handlers and events
channel.c: fixed memory leak and lint errors
api/private/dispatch.c; api/vim.c; msgpack_rpc/channel.c msgpack_rpc/helpers.c added Error* field to msgpack_get_handler_for; further refactored channel.c
channel.c:323 changed order of evaluation in if statement
channel.c: removed superflous whitespace
dispatch.c: review comment
This condition is not perfectly reliable:
(did_emsg && force_abort && !current_exception)
The more proper way to check for abort-causing non-exception errors is
to set up `msg_list` using the "pattern" given by do_cmdline().
- Return VimL errors instead of generic errors for:
- nvim_call_function
- nvim_call_dict_function
- Fix tests which were silently broken before this change.
This violates #6150 where we agreed not to translate API errors. But
that can be fixed later.
The `internal` param is difficult to explain, and will rarely be
anything but `true`. To avoid it, use a hack: check if the resolved
dict value starts with "function(".
Make `:verbose set ...` show when an option was last modified by an
API client or Lua script/chunk. In the case of an API client, the
channel ID is displayed.
