Problem:
When `to_vim_value[info.metatype](info, value)` is called, a list value
such as `{'eob:a'}` is treated like a map, which generates `1:eob:a`.
Note: commands like `:lua vim.opt.wildmode={'longest:full'}` are not an
issue because only cases harcoded in `key_value_options` have metatype `map`.
Solution:
Check for array type and use the same logic as in array metatypes.
Problem:
When code lens is enabled, `on_attach` is executed, but it does not trigger a redraw. Another event, eg, moving the cursor, is required to trigger a redraw and execute the decoration provider's `on_win`.
Solution:
Trigger a `redraw` after each request is completed.
Problem:
"[Process exited]" is implemented in C with anonymous namespace
and users have no way to hide it.
Solution:
- Handle "TermClose" event in Lua.
- User can delete the "nvim.terminal" augroup to avoid "[Process exited]".
Problem:
Completion preview always assumes plain text, ignoring LSP documentation "kind".
Solution:
Pass markup kind from completion item to info window, or fallback to PlainText.
vim-patch:9.2.0174: diff: inline word-diffs can be fragmented
Problem: When using 'diffopt=inline:word', lines were excessively
fragmented with punctuation creating separate highlight
blocks, making it harder to read the diffs.
Solution: Added 'diff_refine_inline_word_highlight()' to merge
adjacent diff blocks that are separated by small gaps of
non-word characters (up to 5 bytes by default) (HarshK97).
When using inline:word diff mode, adjacent changed words separated by
punctuation or whitespace are now merged into a single highlight block
if the gap between them contains fewer than 5 non-word characters.
This creates more readable diffs and closely matches GitHub's own diff
display.
closes: vim/vim#1909842c6686c78
Problem:
The 'android' and 'termux' feature flags have been shipped in the
downstream neovim/neovim-nightly package for 5+ years but were never
properly documented in the downstream patch.
Solution:
Upstream the 'android' and 'termux' feature flags into Neovim as
decoupled feature flags, this enables the 'android' feature in
particular to be available independently of the 'termux' feature
for builds of Neovim against the Android NDK, but not including
the Termux NDK patchset.

Problem:
No way to disable progress messages in cmdline message area. If
a third-party plugin handles Progress events + messages, the user may
not want the "redundant" progress displayed in the cmdline message area.
Solution:
Support "progress:c" entry in 'messageopts' option.
Problem:
The `float` field of vim.diagnostic.config can be a function,
but diagnostic.open_float() does not handle it correctly.
Solution:
Add handling for it in open_float().
Problem: nvim_open_tabpage's "enter" argument is optional, which is inconsistent
with nvim_open_win.
Solution: make it a (non-optional) positional argument, like nvim_open_win.
Also change "enter"'s description to be more like nvim_open_win's doc.
Problem: "after" in nvim_open_tabpage is inconsistent with how a count works
with :tab, :tabnew, etc. Plus, the name "after" implies it's inserted after that
number.
Solution: internally offset by 1. Allow negative numbers to mean after current.
Hmm, should we even reserve sentinels for after current? Callers can probably
just use nil...
- Cleanup, remove redundant comments, add more tests.
- Enhance win_new_tabpage rather than create a new function for !enter, and use
a different approach that minimizes side-effects. Return the tabpage_T * and
first win_T * it allocated.
- Disallow during textlock, like other APIs that open windows.
- Remove existing win_alloc_firstwin error handling from win_new_tabpage; it's
not needed, and looks incorrect. (enter_tabpage is called for curtab, which is
not the old tabpage! Plus newtp is not freed)
- Fix checks after creating the tabpage:
- Don't fail if buf wasn't set successfully; the tab page may still be valid
regardless. Set buffer like nvim_open_win, possibly blocking Enter/Leave
events. (except BufWinEnter)
- tp_curwin may not be the initial window opened by win_new_tabpage. Use the
win_T * it returns instead, which is the real first window it allocated,
regardless of autocmd shenanigans.
- Properly check whether tab page was freed; it may have also been freed
before win_set_buf. Plus, it may not be safe to read its handle!
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: only possible to move floats between tabpages if relative=win, which
has the restrictive effect of also anchoring it to the target window.
Solution: allow "win" without "relative" or "split"/"vertical". Only assume
missing "win" is 0 if relative=win is given to maintain that behaviour. (or when
configuring a new window)
Also add an error when attempting to change a split into a float that's in
another tabpage, as this isn't actually supported yet. (until the next commit)
Maybe this could do with some bikeshedding. Unclear if "win" should require
"relative" to be given, like with "row"/"col"; this can be annoying though as
specifying "relative" requires other fields to be given too.
Problem: `get_doc` throws error with "attempt to get length of a userdata
value" when `item.documentation` is truthy but not a string (e.g. vim.NIL
from a JSON null).
Solution: Check `type(item.documentation)` before taking its length.
Problem: Statusline component of diagnostics allows only the default
format "sign:count".
Solution: Extend vim.diagnostic.Opts.Status to allow a custom signs
or formatting function that provides the status presentation.
Problem: Mimicked block mode for cmdline entered while expanded
does not work intuitively for repeated commands yielding
messages exceeding the screen height. The expanded cmdline
resizes and scrolls to bottom/top when appending a message
and entering the cmdline. Also includes the entered command,
as opposed to the UI1 behavior.
Crash when scrolling to bottom of pager due to recursive
uv_run after shell message callback executes `nvim_command()`
with 'showcmd'.
Solution: Still mimic block mode when entering the expanded cmdline,
but when the entered command emits a message open the pager
with the current message content in the expanded cmdline.
Always route typed commands to the pager when it is open.
Use `nvim_buf_set_cursor()` instead of `nvim_command()`.
refactor(lua): add integer coercion helpers
Add vim._tointeger() and vim._ensure_integer(), including optional base
support, and switch integer-only tonumber()/assert call sites in the Lua
runtime to use them.
This also cleans up related integer parsing in LSP, health, loader, URI,
tohtml, and Treesitter code.

Problem:
In autocmd examples, using "args" as the event-object name is vague and
may be confused with a user-command.
Solution:
Use "ev" as the conventional event-object name.
Problem:
If NVIM_LOG_FILE, or the default fallback, is inaccessible (e.g.
directory is owned by root), users get confused.
Solution:
Show a warning when $NVIM_LOG_FILE or $XDG_STATE_HOME are inaccessible.
Also fix a latent memory leak: `os_mkdir_recurse` returns a uv error
code (int), but it was stored as `bool`, causing `os_strerror` to
receive an invalid error code and leak memory.

Problem:
In aec3d7915c Vim changed prompt-buffers
to respect 'modified' so the termdebug plugin can "control closing the
window". But for most use-cases (REPL, shell, AI "chat", …),
prompt-buffers are in practice always "modified", and no way to "save"
them, so *implicitly* setting 'modified' is noisy and annoying.
Solution:
Don't implicitly set 'modified' when a prompt-buffer is updated.
Plugins/users can still explicitly set 'modified', which will then
trigger the "E37: No write since last change" warning.
Problem:
No completionItem/resolve handler.
Solution:
If completeopt=popup is set, invoke completionItem/resolve when
a completion item is selected. Show resolved documentation in popup next
to the completion menu.
Problem:
Under certain circumstances (e.g. gzipped manpages with mandoc),
:Man will not find the correct page because it does not process
multiple extensions correctly.
For example, with a file named strcpy.3p.gz, it will only check the .gz
part to try to check the section.
This leads to some pages being inaccessible because it will return the
page from the wrong section.
Solution:
Loop and try multiple extensions to try to find one which matches
the name of the section.
Also refactor the man.get_path function so that it can be tested.
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.
Problem
The logic that clears codelenses beyond the buffer also removes the codelenses on the last line.
Solution
Do not clear the codelens on the last line.
Problem:
There is an inconsistency between extmarks/highlights regarding the
`end_col` param.
Solution:
Allow end_col=-1 to mean "end of line" (if strict=false).

Problem: Documentation of `vim.pack.update()` contains a lot of text
inside nested list. This might be a bit confusing to parse for humans
and definitely confusing to parse for neovim.io.
The description of `vim.pack` directory is not correct for Windows.
Solution: Move description of confirmation buffer in a separate
"subsection".
Use '"data" standard path' instead of '$XDG_DATA_HOME/nvim' when
documenting directory. Also use `|standard-path|` tag to link to
standard path section instead of `|stdpath()|`.
