already being a help buffer (Phạm Bình An)

Problem:
virtual_text diagnostics are great when skimming a file, and
virtual_lines are great when "zooming in" on a particular problem.
Having both enabled results in duplicate diagnostics on-screen.
Solution:
This PR expands the behavior of `current_line` for virtual_text and
virtual_lines by making `virtual_text.current_line = false` distinct
from `nil`. If you set:
vim.diagnostic.config({
virtual_text = { current_line = false },
virtual_lines = { current_line = true },
})
With this configuration, virtual_text will be used to display
diagnostics until the cursor reaches the same line, at which point they
will be hidden and virtual_lines will take its place.
Problem: Wrong winline info after partial redraw. Setting
`conceal_cursor_used` is unnecessarily spread out.
Solution: Rather than adjusting `wl_lastlnum` for the previous
winline, adjust it when setting the current winline.
Set `conceal_cursor_used` when the current window is redrawn.
Problem:
enable() could be more flexible, so that it works even if called "late".
Solution:
- enable(true) calls `doautoall nvim.lsp.enable FileType`.
- enable(false) calls `client:stop()` on matching clients.
This will be useful for e.g. :LspStop/:LspStart also.
Problem:
Directories that are "trusted" by `vim.secure.read()`, are not detectable later
(they will prompt again). https://github.com/neovim/neovim/discussions/33587#discussioncomment-12925887
Solution:
`vim.secure.read()` returns `true` if the user trusts a directory.
Also fix other bugs:
- If `f:read('*a')` returns `nil`, we treat that as a successful read of
the file, and hash it. `f:read` returns `nil` for directories, but
it's also documented as returning `nil` "if it cannot read data with the
specified format". I reworked the implementation so we explicitly
treat directories differently. Rather than hashing `nil` to put in the
trust database, we now put "directory" in there explicitly*.
- `vim.secure.trust` (used by `:trust`) didn't actually work for
directories, as it would blindly read the contents of a netrw buffer
and hash it. Now it uses the same codepath as `vim.secure.read`, and
as a result, works correctly for directories.
In a floating window grid, "wrap" flag should not
be set when vertical borders are used, as the the wrapped
text will be broken up by border chars.

Problem: UIs implementing ext_cmdline/message must also implement
ext_popupmenu in order to get cmdline completion with
wildoptions+=pum.
Solution: Allow marking a window as the ext_cmdline window through
nvim_open_win(), including prompt offset. Anchor the cmdline-
completion popupmenu to this window.
Problem: Delay for reading a message may be unwanted for ext_messages,
and can be done by the implementation. Empty completion source
error message is not distinguishable as such.
Solution: Only delay without ext_messages enabled. Emit empty completion
source message as an error.
clarify complete_match() documentation to better explain its backward
search behavior, argument handling, and return value format and add an
example of isexpand

Problem: Return value of getcmdline() inconsistent in CmdlineLeavePre
when leaving cmdline in different ways (after v9.1.1329).
Solution: Trigger CmdlineLeavePre before calling abandon_cmdline() so
that getcmdline() can return the command line (zeertzjq).

Problem: CmdlineLeavePre may trigger twice
(after v9.1.1329)
Solution: check that the key was typed, trigger it when it wasn't before
(Girish Palya)
There are two problems:
- CmdlineLeavePre may be triggered twice when a cabbr is present.
- CmdlineLeavePre fails to trigger when exiting the command-line via
<Backspace>.
Check if the Carriage Return (Enter) key was actually typed.
Trigger the event when the command-line is exited using Backspace and
other keys.

Problem:
`FileType` event is fired before checkhealth report is finished, so
user can't override report settings or contents.
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/33172#issuecomment-2833513916
Solution:
- Trigger FileType event later.
- Document how to remove emojis.
Problem:
There are some "boilerplate" steps for new users. Although we are
constantly improving defaults and lifting patterns into core, users
eventually want to know how to start their own config, add plugins, etc.
Solution:
Add `runtime/example_init.lua` and refer to it from docs.
Problem: Cannot define completion triggers and act upon it
Solution: add the new option 'isexpand' and add the complete_match()
function to return the completion matches according to the
'isexpand' setting (glepnir)
Currently, completion trigger position is determined solely by the
'iskeyword' pattern (\k\+$), which causes issues when users need
different completion behaviors - such as triggering after '/' for
comments or '.' for methods. Modifying 'iskeyword' to include these
characters has undesirable side effects on other Vim functionality that
relies on keyword definitions.
Introduce a new buffer-local option 'isexpand' that allows specifying
different completion triggers and add the complete_match() function that
finds the appropriate start column for completion based on these
triggers, scanning backwards from cursor position.
This separation of concerns allows customized completion behavior
without affecting iskeyword-dependent features. The option's
buffer-local nature enables per-filetype completion triggers.

Problem:
- When multigrid is enabled, screenchar()/screenstring() functions return wrong
results. See https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/2569
- `screenstring()` executed via RPC in child Nvim process, doesn't recognize
floating windows.
Solution:
In ui_comp_get_grid_at_coord(), also iterate window grids.
Problem:
Tests call `clear()` even though `clear_notrace()` is already called in
a `before_each()` handler, wasting precious milliseconds!
Solution:
Remove redundant `clear()` calls.
Problem:
Users of the Roslyn (C#) LSP have encountered significant delays when
retrieving pull diagnostics in large documents while using Neovim. For
instance, diagnostics in a 2000-line .cs file can take over 20 seconds
to display after edits in Neovim, whereas in VS Code, diagnostics for
the same file are displayed almost instantly.
As [mparq noted](https://github.com/seblj/roslyn.nvim/issues/93#issuecomment-2508940330)
in https://github.com/seblj/roslyn.nvim/issues/93, VS Code leverages
additional parameters specified in the [LSP documentation for
textDocument/diagnostic](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#documentDiagnosticParams),
specifically:
- previousResultId
- identifier
Solution:
When requesting diagnostics, Neovim should include the
`previousResultId` and `identifier` parameters as part of the request.
These parameters enable the server to utilize caching and return
incremental results.
Support for maintaining state is already present in the
[textDocument/semanticTokens implementation](8f84167c30/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/semantic_tokens.lua (L289)).
A similar mechanism can be implemented in `textDocument/diagnostic` handler.
Problem:
In cases when the (in-process) LSP server responds to the request
immediately and calls `notify_reply_callback` the request will still be
marked as pending, because the code assumes that the response will occur
asynchronously. Then the request will be pending forever, because it was
already set as "completed" before we even set it as "pending".
A workaround is to wrap `notify_replay_callback` in `vim.shedule` ([like
so](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/24338#issuecomment-2809568617)]
but that seems counterintuitive.
Solution:
Handle this case in Client:request().
Problem: As in f85bc41, assume unfocusable windows to be UI windows
whose buffer content is unexpectedly included in 'complete'
"w" completion.
Solution: Exclude unfocusable windows when looping over windows.
Problem: 'showmode' ext_messages state is not cleared after insert_expand mode.
Solution: Replace empty message with more idiomatic way to clear the showmode.
Problem: Undo corrupted with 'completeopt' "preinsert" when switching
buffer or window.
Solution: Do not delete preinsert text when switching buffer or window.

Problem: cannot get information about command line completion
Solution: add CmdlineLeavePre autocommand and cmdcomplete_info() Vim
script function (Girish Palya)
This commit introduces two features to improve introspection and control
over command-line completion in Vim:
- Add CmdlineLeavePre autocmd event:
A new event triggered just before leaving the command line and before
CmdlineLeave. It allows capturing completion-related state that is
otherwise cleared by the time CmdlineLeave fires.
- Add cmdcomplete_info() Vim script function:
Returns a Dictionary with details about the current command-line
completion state.
These are similar in spirit to InsertLeavePre and complete_info(),
but focused on command-line mode.
**Use case:**
In [[PR vim/vim#16759](https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/16759)], two examples
demonstrate command-line completion: one for live grep, and another for
fuzzy file finding. However, both examples share two key limitations:
1. **Broken history recall (`<Up>`)**
When selecting a completion item via `<Tab>` or `<C-n>`, the original
pattern used for searching (e.g., a regex or fuzzy string) is
overwritten in the command-line history. This makes it impossible to
recall the original query later.
This is especially problematic for interactive grep workflows, where
it’s useful to recall a previous search and simply select a different
match from the menu.
2. **Lack of default selection on `<CR>`**
Often, it’s helpful to allow `<CR>` (Enter) to accept the first match
in the completion list, even when no item is explicitly selected. This
behavior is particularly useful in fuzzy file finding.
----
Below are the updated examples incorporating these improvements:
**Live grep, fuzzy find file, fuzzy find buffer:**
```vim
command! -nargs=+ -complete=customlist,GrepComplete Grep VisitFile()
def GrepComplete(arglead: string, cmdline: string, cursorpos: number):
list<any>
return arglead->len() > 1 ? systemlist($'grep -REIHns "{arglead}"' ..
' --exclude-dir=.git --exclude=".*" --exclude="tags" --exclude="*.swp"') : []
enddef
def VisitFile()
if (selected_match != null_string)
var qfitem = getqflist({lines: [selected_match]}).items[0]
if qfitem->has_key('bufnr') && qfitem.lnum > 0
var pos = qfitem.vcol > 0 ? 'setcharpos' : 'setpos'
exec $':b +call\ {pos}(".",\ [0,\ {qfitem.lnum},\ {qfitem.col},\ 0]) {qfitem.bufnr}'
setbufvar(qfitem.bufnr, '&buflisted', 1)
endif
endif
enddef

if allfiles == null_list
allfiles = systemlist($'find {get(g:, "fzfind_root", ".")} \! \(
-path "*/.git" -prune -o -name "*.swp" \) -type f -follow')
endif
return arglead == '' ? allfiles : allfiles->matchfuzzy(arglead)
enddef

command! -nargs=* -complete=customlist,FuzzyBuffer Buffer execute('b '
.. selected_match->matchstr('\d\+'))
def FuzzyBuffer(arglead: string, _: string, _: number): list<string>
var bufs = execute('buffers', 'silent!')->split("\n")
var altbuf = bufs->indexof((_, v) => v =~ '^\s*\d\+\s\+#')
if altbuf != -1
[bufs[0], bufs[altbuf]] = [bufs[altbuf], bufs[0]]
endif
return arglead == '' ? bufs : bufs->matchfuzzy(arglead)
enddef
nnoremap <leader><bs> :Buffer <c-@>
var selected_match = null_string
autocmd CmdlineLeavePre : SelectItem()
def SelectItem()
selected_match = ''
if getcmdline() =~ '^\s*\%(Grep\|Find\|Buffer\)\s'
var info = cmdcomplete_info()
if info != {} && info.pum_visible && !info.matches->empty()
selected_match = info.selected != -1 ? info.matches[info.selected] : info.matches[0]
setcmdline(info.cmdline_orig). # Preserve search pattern in history
endif
endif
enddef
```
**Auto-completion snippet:**
```vim
set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu
autocmd CmdlineChanged : CmdComplete()
def CmdComplete()
var [cmdline, curpos] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos()]
if getchar(1, {number: true}) == 0 # Typehead is empty (no more pasted input)
&& !pumvisible() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
&& cmdline =~ '\%(\w\|[*/:.-]\)$' && cmdline !~ '^\d\+$' # Reduce noise
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "ti")
SkipCmdlineChanged() # Suppress redundant completion attempts
# Remove <C-@> that get inserted when no items are available
timer_start(0, (_) => getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00', '', 'g')->setcmdline())
endif
enddef
cnoremap <expr> <up> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<up>")
cnoremap <expr> <down> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<down>")
autocmd CmdlineEnter : set bo+=error
autocmd CmdlineLeave : set bo-=error
def SkipCmdlineChanged(key = ''): string
set ei+=CmdlineChanged
timer_start(0, (_) => execute('set ei-=CmdlineChanged'))
return key != '' ? ((pumvisible() ? "\<c-e>" : '') .. key) : ''
enddef
```
These customizable snippets can serve as *lightweight* and *native*
alternatives to picker plugins like **FZF** or **Telescope** for common,
everyday workflows. Also, live grep snippet can replace **cscope**
without the overhead of building its database.
