Problem: after #33036, an error from evaluating 'statusline' clears it and
doesn't draw the statusline. (causing glitchy redraws)
Solution: use the default value instead. If 'stl' is somehow ever empty, still
call redraw_custom_statusline to at least draw an empty statusline.
Ideally our default 'stl' shouldn't itself error too! :-)
Also adjust some prior screen:expect()s to avoid immediate success warnings.
Problem:
- Editing a 'readonly' file forces a 3-second delay.
- nvim_get_mode waits 3 secs with 'showmode' enabled or when there are error messages.
Solution:
Remove the delay for "ui2", by using `msg_delay`.
Problem:
TUI does not support several standard SGR text attributes:
- dim/faint (SGR 2)
- blink (SGR 5)
- conceal (SGR 8)
- overline (SGR 53)
This means that when a program running in the embedded terminal emits
one of these escape codes, we drop it and don't surface it to the
outer terminal.
Solution:
- Add support for those attributes.
- Also add corresponding flags to `nvim_set_hl` opts, so users can set
these attributes in highlight groups.
- refactor(highlight): widen `HlAttrFlags` from `int16_t` to `int32_t`
Widen the `rgb_ae_attr` and `cterm_ae_attr` fields in HlAttrs from
int16_t to int32_t to make room for new highlight attribute flags,
since there was only one spare bit left.
- The C flag is named HL_CONCEALED to avoid colliding with the
existing HL_CONCEAL in syntax.h (which is a syntax group flag, not
an SGR attribute).
- Also note that libvterm doesn't currently support the dim and overline
attributes, so e.g. `printf '\e[2mThis should be dim\n'` and `printf
'\e[53mThis should have an overline\n'` are still not rendered
correctly when run from the embedded terminal.
This was added before there was a dedicated language server for
tree-sitter queries. Now that https://github.com/ribru17/ts_query_ls
exists, this is a better option in every regard (and up to now
required manually disabling the builtin linter to avoid duplicate
diagnostics and performance issues).
- Rename ".nvimlog" to "nvim.log"
- doesn't need to be "hidden"/dotfile
- ".log" extension helps with filetype detection
- Also rename "nvim/log" => "nvim/nvim.log"
Problem:
Some UI clients break if space follows the comma in 'guifont' items.
Also the new 'guifont' default may cause problems if none of the fonts are found.
Solution:
Remove trailing whitespace.
Add a "monospace" fallback which `fontconfig` can resolve on *nix systems.
Problem: items() does not work for Blobs
Solution: Extend items() to support Blob

**Problem:** No easy way to stack highlight groups #35806.
**Solution:** Add a way to specify a new statusline chunk with a
highlight group that inherits from previous highlight attributes.
Also applies to tabline, etc.
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:
- `:restart <cmd>` prepends `-c <cmd>` before the original `-c` args (if
any). So the original `-c` args may "override" it, which is
surprising.
- Confusing logic: `v:argv` is partially prepared in `ex_docmd.c`, and
then later `ui.c` skips other parts of it.
Current behavior is nonsense, for example this sequence:
:restart echo "Hello"
:restart +qall echo "Hello" | echo "World"
results in this v:argv:
[
'nvim'
'-c'
'echo "Hello" | echo "World"'
'--embed'
'-c'
'echo "Hello"'
...
]
Whereas after this commit, v:argv is:
[
'nvim'
'--embed'
...
'-c'
'echo "Hello" | echo "World"'
]
Solution:
- Append `-c <cmd>` at the _end_ of `v:argv`, not the start.
- Use a dummy placeholder `+:::` to mark where the "restart command"
appears in `v:argv`.
- Do all `v:argv` preparation in `ex_docmd.c`. This simplifies `ui.c`.
- Drop `-- [files…]` from `v:argv` since it is probably more annoying
than useful. (Users can use sessions to restore files on restart.)
Problem:
- ~200 line function of hard-to-maintain C code.
- Local Addition section looks messy because of the varying description
formats.
Solution:
- Move code to Lua.
- Have a best-effort approach where short descriptions are right
aligned, giving a cleaner look. Long descriptions are untouched.
Problem: Terminal doesn't detect if the PTY process is suspended or
offer a convenient way for the user to resume the process.
Solution: Detect suspended PTY process on SIGCHLD and show virtual text
"[Process suspended]" at the bottom-left. Resume the process
when the user presses a key.
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
fix(treesitter): more distinctive highlight for EditQuery captures
Problem: EditQuery shows captures in the source buffer using the Title
highlight group, which could be too similar to Normal.
Solution: Use a virtual text diagnostic highlight group: they are
displayed in a similar manner to the query captures so we can assume
that the color scheme should have appropriate styling applied to make
them visible.
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.
In particular, also mention the difference between the regex atom \k and
what Vim considers for a word character.

Problem:
Mappings with a control modifier follow the (tag) format of:
{key_before}_CTRL-{key}_{key_after}
Where `{key_before}` and `{key_after}` can be any other key combination.
However, for the Nvim default mappings `[_CTRL-Q`, `]_CTRL-Q`,
`[_CTRL-L`, `]_CTRL-L`, `[_CTRL-T` and `]_CTRL-T`, the underscore
between the bracket and CTRL was absent. This lead to problems finding
the relevant docs with `:help [_CTRL-Q` and made parsing the {subject}
argument for `:help` harder.
Solution:
Use the right tag format.
Problem: Terminal doesn't handle ED 3 (clear scrollback) properly.
Solution: Add vterm callback for sb_clear().
Also fix another problem that scrollback lines may be duplicated when
pushing to scrollback immediately after reducing window height, as can
be seen in the changes to test/functional/terminal/window_spec.lua.

Problem: Code lenses currently display as virtual text on the same line
and after the relevant item. While the spec does not say how lenses
should be rendered, above the line is most typical. For longer lines,
lenses rendered as virtual text can run off the side of the screen.
Solution: Display lenses as virtual lines above the text.

Problem: The following strchar functions have incorrect types:
strcharlen() - Currently any. Always returns an integer, including on
error
strcharpart() - The skipcc annotation does not specify that 0 and 1 are
valid. These inputs are required for vimscript usage. The current
return type is any, even though the function returns an empty string
on error
strchars() - The skipcc annotation does not specify that 0 and 1 are
valid
Solution: Update the problem types.
Problem: In eval.lua, setcharsearch() has an incorrect param type,
causing Lua_Ls to display an error when a valid table is passed.
While getcharsearch correctly states that it returns a table, the type
is non-specific about the contents.
Solution: Update eval.lua with the correct types.
The auto-refresh has a bit of a delay so it can happen that when a user
runs `codelens.run` it operates on an outdated state and either
does nothing, or fails.
This changes the logic for `.run` to always fetch the current lenses
before (optional) prompt and execution.
See discussion in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/37689#discussion_r2764235931
This could potentially be optimized to first check if there's local
state with a version that matches the current buf-version, but in my
testing re-fetching them always was quickly enough that `run` still
feels instant and doing it this way simplifies the logic.
Side effect of the change is that `.run` also works if codelens aren't
enabled - for power users who know what the codelens would show that can
be useful.
Problem: Unlike `nvim_keymap_set`, `vim.keymap.set` uses the non-negated
`remap` instead of `:set`'s `noremap`, but the documentation for this
got lost sometime before Nvim 0.10.
Solution: Restore the lost documentation and make it more explicit.
