Note for external UIs: Nvim can now emit multiple "redraw" event batches
before a final "flush" event is received. To retain existing behavior,
clients should make sure to update visible state at an explicit "flush"
event, not just the end of a "redraw" batch of event.
* Get rid of copy_object() blizzard in the auto-generated ui_event layer
* Special case "grid_line" by encoding screen state directly to
msgpack events with no intermediate API events.
* Get rid of the arcane notion of referring to the screen as the "shell"
* Array and Dictionary are kvec_t:s, so define them as such.
* Allow kvec_t:s, such as Arrays and Dictionaries, to be allocated with
a predetermined size within an arena.
* Eliminate redundant capacity checking when filling such kvec_t:s
with values.
- Move .luacheckrc to root, add read_globals=vim
- Simplify lualint target, run it on all lua files
- Lint preload.lua, but ignore W211
- Remove testlint target, included in lualint (and lint)
- Clean up .luacheckrc
Initially we will use this for the popupmenu, floating windows will
follow soon
NB: writedelay + compositor is weird, we need more flexible
redraw introspection.
Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined
highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and
simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic
identification of builtin and syntax highlights.
Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for
compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin
TUI uses the new line-based protocol.
cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.
