Problem: completion: can only complete from keyword characters
Solution: remove this restriction, allow completion functions when
called from i_CTRL-N/i_CTRL-P to be triggered from non-keyword
characters (Girish Palya)
Previously, functions specified in the `'complete'` option were
restricted to starting completion only from keyword characters (as
introduced in PR 17065). This change removes that restriction.
With this change, user-defined functions (e.g., `omnifunc`, `userfunc`)
used in `'complete'` can now initiate completion even when triggered
from non-keyword characters. This makes it easier to reuse existing
functions alongside other sources without having to consider whether the
cursor is on a keyword or non-keyword character, or worry about where
the replacement should begin (i.e., the `findstart=1` return value).
The logic for both the “collection” and “filtering” phases now fully
respects each source’s specified start column. This also extends to
fuzzy matching, making completions more predictable.
Internally, this builds on previously merged infrastructure that tracks
per-source metadata. This PR focuses on applying that metadata to
compute the leader string and insertion text appropriately for each
match.
Also, a memory corruption has been fixed in prepare_cpt_compl_funcs().

Problem: 'wildchar' does not work in search contexts
Solution: implement search completion when 'wildchar' is typed
(Girish Palya).
This change enhances Vim's command-line completion by extending
'wildmode' behavior to search pattern contexts, including:
- '/' and '?' search commands
- ':s', ':g', ':v', and ':vim' commands
Completions preserve the exact regex pattern typed by the user,
appending the completed word directly to the original input. This
ensures that all regex elements — such as '<', '^', grouping brackets
'()', wildcards '\*', '.', and other special characters — remain intact
and in their original positions.
---
**Use Case**
While searching (using `/` or `?`) for lines containing a pattern like
`"foobar"`, you can now type a partial pattern (e.g., `/f`) followed by
a trigger key (`wildchar`) to open a **popup completion menu** showing
all matching words.
This offers two key benefits:
1. **Precision**: Select the exact word you're looking for without
typing it fully.
2. **Memory aid**: When you can’t recall a full function or variable
name, typing a few letters helps you visually identify and complete the
correct symbol.
---
**What’s New**
Completion is now supported in the following contexts:
- `/` and `?` search commands
- `:s`, `:g`, `:v`, and `:vimgrep` ex-commands
---
**Design Notes**
- While `'wildchar'` (usually `<Tab>`) triggers completion, you'll have
to use `<CTRL-V><Tab>` or "\t" to search for a literal tab.
- **Responsiveness**: Search remains responsive because it checks for
user input frequently.
---
**Try It Out**
Basic setup using the default `<Tab>` as the completion trigger:
```vim
set wim=noselect,full wop=pum wmnu
```
Now type:
```
/foo<Tab>
```
This opens a completion popup for matches containing "foo".
For matches beginning with "foo" type `/\<foo<Tab>`.
---
**Optional: Autocompletion**
For automatic popup menu completion as you type in search or `:`
commands, include this in your `.vimrc`:
```vim
vim9script
set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu
autocmd CmdlineChanged [:/?] CmdComplete()
def CmdComplete()
var [cmdline, curpos, cmdmode] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos(),
expand('<afile>') == ':']
var trigger_char = '\%(\w\|[*/:.-]\)$'
var not_trigger_char = '^\%(\d\|,\|+\|-\)\+$' # Exclude numeric range
if getchar(1, {number: true}) == 0 # Typehead is empty, no more
pasted input
&& !wildmenumode() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
&& (!cmdmode || (cmdline =~ trigger_char && cmdline !~
not_trigger_char))
SkipCmdlineChanged()
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "t")
timer_start(0, (_) => getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00', '',
'ge')->setcmdline()) # Remove <C-@>
endif
enddef
def SkipCmdlineChanged(key = ''): string
set ei+=CmdlineChanged
timer_start(0, (_) => execute('set ei-=CmdlineChanged'))
return key == '' ? '' : ((wildmenumode() ? "\<C-E>" : '') .. key)
enddef
**Optional: Preserve history recall behavior**
cnoremap <expr> <Up> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<Up>")
cnoremap <expr> <Down> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<Down>")
**Optional: Customize popup height**
autocmd CmdlineEnter : set bo+=error | exec $'set ph={max([10,
winheight(0) - 4])}'
autocmd CmdlineEnter [/?] set bo+=error | set ph=8
autocmd CmdlineLeave [:/?] set bo-=error ph&
```

providing the improved behavior. (glepnir)

Make `vim.iter():take()` and `vim.iter():skip()`
optionally accept predicates to enable takewhile
and skipwhile patterns used in functional
programming.
Problem:
The previous fix in #34314 relies on copying the tree in `tree_root` to
ensure the `TSNode`'s tree cannot be mutated. But that causes the
problem where two calls to `tree_root` return nodes from different
copies of a tree, which do not compare as equal. This has broken at
least one plugin.
Solution:
Make all `TSTree`s on the Lua side always immutable, avoiding the need
to copy the tree in `tree_root`, and make the only mutation point,
`tree_edit`, copy the tree instead.
731e616a79 made it so passing `{env = nil, clear_env = true }` would
pass `{env = {}}` to `vim.uv.spawn`.
However this is not what `clear_env` is (arguably) supposed to do.
If `env=nil` then that implies the uses wants `vim.uv.spawn()` to use
the default environment. Adding `clear_env = true` simply prevents
`NVIM` (the base environment) from being added.

Problem: No way to compute intersection of two version ranges, which is
useful when computing version range that fits inside several reference
ranges.
Solution: Add `vim.version.intersect()`.
Problem: `vim.version.range('<=a.b.c')` is not precise when it comes to
its right hand side. This is due to version ranges using exclusive right
hand side. While `vim.version.range('>a.b.c')` is not precise when it
comes to its left hand side because left hand sides are inclusive.
Solution: For '>=a.b.c' increase `to` from 'a.b.c' to the smallest
reasonable version that is bigger than 'a.b.c'. For '<a.b.c' do the same
for `from`.
More proper solution is an explicit control over inclusivity of version
range sides, but it has more side effects and requires design decisions.
Problem: `tostring()` applied to version range doesn't return
human-readable text with information about the range.
Solution: Add `__tostring()` method.
fix(exrc): lua exrc files know their location
Problem:
'exrc' files are inherently bound to their location / workspace and
therefore require to "know" their location on the filesystem. However,
currently using `debug.getinfo(1, 'S')` returns `"<nvim>"`.
Solution:
Include the filepath as chunkname in `loadstring()` and `nlua_exec()`.
Problems:
- Unlike in Vim, Neovim does not report pack/*/start/* in the resolved value of 'rtp' (see `:help packages-runtimepath`)
- This means that the tutor plugin cannot find the tutors in pack/*/start/*
Solution:
- Use nvim_list_runtime_paths() instead of &rtp
Problem: tests: need a test for the new-style tutor.tutor, patch
9.1.1384 broke the expected positions for the signs
Solution: Update all number keys in tutor.tutor.json to match the
correct line numbers in tutor.tutor, replace tabs by spaces,
add a screen-dump test to verify it does not regress
