Problem: Logic determining messages belonging to the last command to
show with "g<" does not flush pending messages. This can
result in clearing the temporary message history before a
message still belonging to the previous command was emitted.
Solution: Flush pending messages when marking the end of messages
belonging to previous command.
Problem: if init_prompt replaces the prompt line at the ': mark, it calls
inserted_bytes with the wrong lnum.
Solution: use the correct lnum. Call appended_lines_mark instead when appending
the prompt at the end.
Problem: prompt_setprompt does not adjust extmarks or trigger on_bytes
buffer-updates when fixing the prompt line.
Solution: adjust them, trigger on_bytes.
Notably, hides extmarks when replacing the entire line (and clearing user
input). Otherwise, when just replacing the prompt text, hides extmarks there,
but moves those after (in the user input area) to the correct spot.
Problem: prompt_setprompt calls coladvance with a byte column, but it expects a
screen column. on_lines buffer-updates aren't fired when fixing the prompt line.
Solution: don't use coladvance. Call changed_lines, which also simplifies the
redraw logic. (and calls changed_cline_bef_curs if needed; added test checks
this)
Unlike https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/37743/changes#r2775398744, this
means &modified is set by prompt_setprompt if it fixes the prompt line.
Not setting &modified is inconsistent anyway -- even init_prompt sets it if it
fixes the prompt line.
Problem:
`vim.diagnostic.fromqflist` ignores lines that are `item.valid == 0` (see
`getqflist`). Many qflists have messages that span multiple lines, which look
like this:
collection/src/Modelling/CdOd/Central.hs|496 col 80| error: [GHC-83865]
|| • Couldn't match expected type: InstanceWithForm
|| (FilePath
|| -> SelectValidCdInstWithForm
...
calling `vim.diagnostic.fromqflist(vim.fn.getqflist)` gets a diagnostic message
like this:
error: [GHC-83865]
only the first line is kept, but often, the remaing lines are useful as well.
Solution:
Introduce `merge_lines` option, which "squashes" lines from invalid qflist items
into the error message of the previous valid item, so that we get this
diagnostic message instead:
error: [GHC-83865]
• Couldn't match expected type: InstanceWithForm
(FilePath
-> SelectValidCdInstWithForm
Problem: wait() checks condition twice on each interval.
Solution: Don't schedule the due callback. Also fix memory leak when
Nvim exits while waiting.
No test that the condition isn't checked twice, as testing for that can
be flaky when there are libuv events from other sources.
Problem:
Iter:peek() only works if the iterator is a |list-iterator| (internally, an `ArrayIter`).
However, it is possible to implement :peek() support for any iterator.
Solution:
- add `_peeked` buffer for lookahead without actually consuming values
- `peek()` now works for function, pairs(), and array iterators
- `skip(predicate)` stops at the first non matching element without consuming it
- keep existing optimized behavior for `ArrayIter` to maintain backward compatibility
- use `pack`/`unpack` to support iterators that return multiple values
Problem:
`vim.json.decode()` could not parse JSONC (JSON with Comments)
extension, which is commonly used in configuration files.
Solution:
Introduce an `skip_comments` option, which is disabled by default. When
enabled, allows JavaScript-style comments within JSON data.
Problem:
Using vim.defer_fn() just before Nvim exit leaks luv handles.
Solution:
Make vim.schedule() return an error message if scheduling failed.
Make vim.defer_fn() close timer if vim.schedule() failed.
Problem: Fast context for msg_show event inhibits vim.ui_attach from
displaying a stream of messages from a single command.
Solution: Remove fast context from msg_show events emitted as a result
of explicit API/command calls. The fast context was originally
introduced to prevent issues with internal messages.
Problem:
vim.glob.to_lpeg() errors when patterns contain numeric literals
(like the '1' in '.ps*1') because LPeg interprets numeric strings
as indexed grammar rule references. For example:
vim.glob.to_lpeg('.ps*1')
E5108: Lua: rule '1' undefined in given grammar
Solution:
Prefix all rule names with '_' in the end_seg() function to prevent
literal numbers from being interpreted as LPeg indexed rules. This
ensures pattern components like '1', '2', etc. are treated as
regular rule names rather than special references.
Problem
LSP Related Information line and column numbers are 0-based. Displaying
them this way can confuse the user, since vim line/col numbers are
typically displayed 1-based.
Solution
Display the line and column numbers as 1-based.
Problem: The function get_logical_pos did not account for the possibility that a diagnostic might not have an associated extmark, leading to potential errors or incorrect behavior.
Solution: Add a check for diagnostic._extmark_id and return the logical positions directly if it does not exist.
Problem: vim.keymap.del has 'modes' as it's first argument while vim.keymap.set
has 'mode' as it's first argument despite both 'mode' and 'modes' taking in the
same type input of String or String[].
Solution: Updated vim.keymap.set docs to refer to it's first argument
as 'modes'.
Problem:
After bc0635a9fc `vim.wait()` rejects floats
and NaN values.
Solution:
Restore the prior behavior, while still supporting `math.huge`. Update
tests to cover float case.
Problem:
`nlua_wait()` uses `luaL_checkinteger()` which doesn't support
`math.huge` since it's double type. On PUC Lua this fails with
'number has no integer representation' error and on LuaJIT this
overflows int.
Solution:
Use `luaL_checknumber()` and handle `math.huge`.
Problem:
MessagePack fixstr format supports string lengths 0-31, but mpack_str()
only used fixstr for lengths < 20. Strings of 20-31 bytes were
incorrectly encoded as str8 (2-byte header) instead of fixstr (1-byte
header).
Solution:
Change the condition from `len < 20` to `len < 32` to match the
MessagePack specification.
This fix affects message timing which exposed a pre-existing race
condition in the channels_spec PTY test. The test now uses a helper
function to accumulate partial PTY reads, making it more robust.
Fixes#32784
Problem:
`diagnostic.status()` is configured via `config.signs`, but users may
want diagnostics only in statusline, not in the gutter (signs).
Solution:
Add `config.status`.
Problem: `extmark_splice()` was being called before `ml_replace()`,
which caused the on_bytes callback to be invoked with the old buffer
text instead of the new text.
Solution: store metadata for each match in a growing array, call
`ml_replace()` once to update the buffer, then call `extmark_splice()`
once per match.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/36370.
Problem:
When running ":edit <url>", filetype detection is not triggered.
Solution:
Run the autocmds in the filetypedetect group after loading the content.
Problem:
After fetching remote content from a URL and adding it to the buffer,
the buffer is marked as modified. This is inconsistent with the original
netrw behavior, and it causes problems with `:e` to refresh or `:q` as
it prompts for saving the file even if the user hasn't touched the
content at all.
Solution:
Mark the buffer as unmodified right after adding the remote content to
the buffer.
Technically the current behavior does match documentation. However, the
keys following <Cmd>/K_LUA aren't normally received by vim.on_key()
callbacks either, so it does makes sense to discard them along with the
preceding key.
One may also argue that vim.on_key() callbacks should instead receive
the following keys together with the <Cmd>/K_LUA, but doing that may
cause some performance problems, and even in that case the keys should
still be discarded together.
Problem: unnecessary and deprecated diagnostics use their own highlight
groups (`DiagnosticUnnecessary` and `DiagnosticDeprecated`) which
override the typical severity-based highlight groups (like
`DiagnosticUnderlineWarn`).
This can be misleading, since diagnostics about unused variables which
are warnings or errors, are shown like comments, since then only the
`DiagnosticUnnecessary` highlight group is used. Users do not see the
more eye-catching red/yellow highlight.
Solution: Instead of overriding the highlight group to
`DiagnosticUnnecessary` or `DiagnosticDeprecated`, set them in addition
to the normal severity-based highlights.
Problem:
Previously, the fallback logic to ".conf" was located outside of
`vim.filetype.match()` and directly within the AutoCmd definition. As a
result, `vim.filetype.match()` would return nil instead of ".conf" for
fallback cases (#30100).
Solution:
Added a boolean return value to `vim.filetype.match()` that indicates
whether the match was the result of fallback. If true, the filetype will
be set using `setf FALLBACK <ft>` instead of `setf <ft>`.
**Problem:**
`vim.filetype.match({ filename = 'a.sh' })` returns `nil` because
an invalid buffer ID is passed to `vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines()`.
For filetypes like `csh`, `txt`, or any other extensions that call
`_getlines()` or `_getline()` to detect their filetypes, the same
issue occurs.
When only the `filename` argument is passed, an error is raised
inside a `pcall()` that wraps the filetype detection function,
causing it to return no value without showing any error message.
**Solution:**
Validate the `bufnr` value in `_getlines()` and `_getline()`.
fix(help): only set url for nvim-owned tags
Problem:
1. gx on |nonexistingtag| opens
https://neovim.io/doc/user/helptag.html?nonexistingtag.
2. b:undo_ftplugin doesn't remove url extmarks.
Solution:
1. Check if the tag is defined in a help file in $VIMRUNTIME.
2. Solution: clear namespace for buffer in b:undo_ftplugin.
Problem: popup: there are some position logic bugs
Solution: Refactor position logic and fix a few bugs
(Girish Palya).
This change does the following:
- Simplified and rewrote horizontal positioning logic (was overly
complex).
- Split horizontal and vertical positioning into separate functions.
- Fixed missing truncation marker (e.g. `>`) when items were truncated
and `pummaxwidth` was not set.
- Fixed occasional extra space being added to menu items.
- Update tests
closes: vim/vim#18441e3ed5584ed
Cherry-pick pum_display_{rtl,ltr}_text() changes from patch 9.1.1835.

- Remove "state" directory after each test, so that a failure in one
test won't interfere with later tests.
- Still make sure the trust file is empty at the end of each test.
Problem:
`gx` does not work on tags in help buffers to open the documentation of that tag in the browser.
Solution:
Get the `optionlink`, `taglink` and `tag` TS nodes and set extmark "url" property.
`gx` then discovers the extmark "url" and opens it.
- Bump zig version to 0.15.1 and workaround zig fetch hang (ziglang/zig#24916)
- add mac os zig build (currently without luajit, linker failure)
- Add windows zig build, currently with very limited testing
Problem: There is no way to ensure a stable key order when encoding a JSON string,
which can be useful for comparisons and producing cleaner diffs.
Solution: Introduce a `sort_keys` option for `vim.json.encode()`,which
is disabled by default. When enabled, object keys are sorted in
alphabetical order.
Problem:
There is no straightforward way to pretty-print objects as JSON.
The existing `vim.inspect` outputs LON.
Solution:
Introduce an `indent` option for `vim.json.encode()` which enables
human-readable output with configurable indentation.
Adapts PR to upstream: openresty/lua-cjson#114
- Problem: It's not clear for new plugin developers that `:help` uses
a help-tags file for searching the docs, generated by `:helptags`.
- Solution: Hint to the |:helptags| docs for regenerating the tags
file for their freshly written documentation.

Solution: A window marked for ext_cmdline usage is still referenced
after it is already closed and freed.
Solution: Unset cmdline_win when the window is closed.
