Problem:
`:EditQuery` command accepts a language argument, but it doesn't
highlight properly for injected languages.
Solution:
- Fully parse with the root language and then filter the query on the
child trees that are of the language requested.
- Also support completion (`EditQuery <tab>`).
Problem:
- Running `:h :EditQuery` throws error `E149: Sorry, no help for
:EditQuery`
- vim_diff.txt miss an entry for `:EditQuery`
Solution:
- Make tag `[:EditQuery]()` right-aligned, similar to command `:Open`
- Update vim_diff.txt
This commit changes the `offset!` directive so that instead of setting a
`metadata.range` value for the entire pattern, it will set a
`metadata.offset` value. This offset will be applied to the range only
in `vim.treesitter.get_range()`, rather than at directive application
time. This allows the offset to be applied to any and all nodes captured
by the given pattern, and removes the requirement that `#offset!` be
applied to only a single node.
The downside of this change is that plugins which read from
`metadata.range` may be thrown off course, but such plugins should
prefer `vim.treesitter.get_range()` when retrieving ranges anyway.
Note that `#trim!` still sets `metadata.range`, and
`vim.treesitter.get_range()` still reads from `metadata.range`, if it
exists.
Before, only the last capture's range would be counted for injection.
Now all captured ranges will be counted in the ranges array. This is
more intuitive, and also provides a nice solution/alternative to the
"scoped injections" issue.
- sort fields alphabetically.
- in the `vim.lsp.Client` docs, reference `vim.lsp.ClientConfig` instead
of duplicating its docs.
- cleanup lots of redundant-yet-drifted field docs.
This matches the `iter_captures` functionality to the `iter_matches`
functionality, allowing it to specify a match limit and start depth for
the query iterator.
Problem: Cannot disable individual captures and patterns in treesitter queries.
Solution:
* Expose the corresponding tree-sitter API functions for `TSQuery` object.
* Add documentation for `TSQuery`.
* Return the pattern ID from `get_captures_at_pos()` (and hence `:Inspect!`).
**Problem:** Some weird languages have different comment syntax
depending on the location in the code, and we do not have a way to
determine the correct `commentstring` for these special cases.
**Solution:** Allow queries to specify `commentstring` values in
metadata, allowing users/`nvim-treesitter` to provide a better
commenting experience without hugely increasing the scope of the code in
core.
Problem: No way to check the version of a treesitter parser.
Solution: Add version metadata (ABI 15 parsers only) as well as parser state count and supertype information (ABI 15) in `vim.treesitter.language.inspect()`. Also graduate the `abi_version` field, as this is now the official upstream name.

Problem:
Descriptions are somewhat vague. nvim_set_current_line modifies contents
but nvim_set_current_buf does not, etc.
Solution:
- Make it clear that these functions accept or return a winid/tabid by
linking to that concept in help.
- Only these few files use the term "handles", so replace them with the
more conventional terminology.
- Add a new help section for tab-ID. This concept is unique to neovim
because vim exposes tabnr, but not tab handles. This section is
modelled after `:h winid`.
TSHighlighter now places marks for conceal_lines metadata. A new
internal decor provider callback _on_conceal_line was added that
instructs the highlighter to place conceal_lines marks whenever the
editor needs to know whether a line is concealed. The bundled markdown
queries use conceal_lines metadata to conceal code block fence lines.
When given, only that range will be checked for validity rather than the
entire tree. This is used in the highlighter to save CPU cycles since we
only need to parse a certain region at a time anyway.
**Problem:** Currently, if users want to efficiently disable injections,
they have to delete the injection query files at their runtime path.
This is because we only check for existence of the files before running
the query over the entire buffer.
**Solution:** Check for existence of query files, *and* that those files
actually have captures. This will allow users to just comment out
existing queries (or better yet, just add their own injection query to
`~/.config/nvim` which contains only comments) to disable running the
query over the entire buffer (a potentially slow operation)
Problem:
`yx` uses "y" prefix, which shadows a builtin operator.
Solution:
Use `g=` (in the form of `g==` currently), drawing from precedent of
CTRL-= and 'tpope/vim-scriptease'.
**Problem:** Parsing can be slow for large files, and it is a blocking
operation which can be disruptive and annoying.
**Solution:** Provide a function for asynchronous parsing, which accepts
a callback to be run after parsing completes.

**Problem:** Currently, it is difficult to get node(s)-level metadata
for a capture returned by `get_captures_at_pos()`. This is because it is
stored in `metadata[id]` and we do not have access to the value of `id`,
so to get this value we have to iterate over the keys of `metadata`. See
[this commit](d636229300 (diff-8bd4742121c2f359d0345f3c6c253a58220f1a28670cc4e1c957992232059a6cR16)).
Things would be much simpler if we were given the `id` of the capture so
we could use it to just index `metadata` directly.
**Solution:** Include `id` in the data returned by
`get_captures_at_pos()`
This commit also implements more generic trimming, acting on all
whitespace (charwise) rather than just empty lines.
It will unblock
https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/pull/3442 and allow
for properly concealing markdown bullet markers regardless of indent
width, e.g.
Problem: Treesitter highlighter implements an on_bytes callback that
just re-marks a buffer range for redraw. The edit that
prompted the callback will already have done that.
Solution: Remove redundant on_bytes callback from the treesitter
highlighter module.
**Problems:**
- `vim.treesitter.language.inspect()` returns duplicate
symbol names, sometimes up to 6 of one kind in the case of `markdown`
- The list-like `symbols` table can have holes and is thus not even a
valid msgpack table anyway, mentioned in a test
**Solution:** Return symbols as a map, rather than a list, where field
names are the names of the symbol. The boolean value associated with the
field encodes whether or not the symbol is named.
Note that anonymous nodes are surrounded with double quotes (`"`) to
prevent potential collisions with named counterparts that have the same
identifier.
This commit also marks `child_containing_descendant()` as deprecated
(per upstream's documentation), and uses `child_with_descendant()` in
its place. Minimum required tree-sitter version will now be `0.24`.
An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be
bumped when a new Lua function is added.
TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions.
ref #25416
**Problem:** The documentation for `TSNode` and `TSTree` methods is
incomplete from the LSP perspective. This is because they are written
directly to the vimdoc, rather than in Lua and generated to vimdoc.
**Solution:** Migrate the docs to Lua and generate them into the vimdoc.
This requires breaking up the `treesitter/_meta.lua` file into a
directory with a few different modules.
This commit also makes the vimdoc generator slightly more robust with
regard to sections that have multiple help tags (e.g. `*one* *two*`)
Problem: No clear way to check whether parsers are available for a given
language.
Solution: Make `language.add()` return `true` if a parser was
successfully added and `nil` otherwise. Use explicit `assert` instead of
relying on thrown errors.
Problem: Language names are only registered for filetype<->language
lookups when parsers are actually loaded; this means users cannot rely
on `vim.treesitter.language.get_lang()` or `get_filetypes()` to return
the correct value when language and filetype coincide and always need to
add explicit fallbacks.
Solution: Always return the language name as valid filetype in
`get_filetypes()`, and default to the filetype in `get_lang()`. Document
this behavior.
For context, see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/24738. Before
that PR, Nvim did not correctly handle captures with quantifiers. That
PR made the correct behavior opt-in to minimize breaking changes, with
the intention that the correct behavior would eventually become the
default. Users can still opt-in to the old (incorrect) behavior for now,
but this option will eventually be removed completely.
BREAKING CHANGE: Any plugin which uses `Query:iter_matches()` must
update their call sites to expect an array of nodes in the `match`
table, rather than a single node.
Problem: Installing treesitter parser is hard (harder than
climbing to heaven).
Solution: Add optional support for wasm parsers with `wasmtime`.
Notes:
* Needs to be enabled by setting `ENABLE_WASMTIME` for tree-sitter and
Neovim. Build with
`make CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS=-DENABLE_WASMTIME=ON
DEPS_CMAKE_FLAGS=-DENABLE_WASMTIME=ON`
* Adds optional Rust (obviously) and C11 dependencies.
* Wasmtime comes with a lot of features that can negatively affect
Neovim performance due to library and symbol table size. Make sure to
build with minimal features and full LTO.
* To reduce re-compilation times, install `sccache` and build with
`RUSTC_WRAPPER=<path/to/sccache> make ...`
This is identical to `named_node_for_range` except that it includes
anonymous nodes. This maintains consistency in the API because we
already have `descendant_for_range` and `named_descendant_for_range`.
