The `buffer` option remains functional but is now undocumented.
Providing both will raise an error. Since providing `buf` was disallowed
before, there is no code that will break due to using `buffer` alongside
`buf`.
Problem:
- Window height is set dynamically to match the text height,
making it difficult for the user to use a different height.
- Cmdwin is closed to enter the pager but still taken into
account for the pager position, and not restored when
the pager is closed.
- Dialog pager handler may unnecessarily consume <Esc>.
Solution:
- Add maximum height config fields for each of the UI2 windows,
where a number smaller than one is a fraction of 'lines',
absolute height otherwise (i.e. `cfg.msg.pager.height = 0.5`).
- If the cmdwin will be closed to enter the pager, don't try
to position the pager above it. Re-enter the cmdwin when the
pager is closed.
- Only add vim.on_key() handler for the dialog paging is actually
possible.
Problem
Unlike inlay hints, code lenses are closely related to running commands;
a significant number of code lenses are used to execute a command (such
as running tests). Therefore, it is necessary to provide a default
mapping for them.
Solution
Add a new default mapping "grx" (mnemonic: "eXecute", like "gx").
Problem: Entering the pager is scheduled to avoid errors while in the
cmdwin. Meanwhile the current window is used as a condition to
detect an active pager.
Solution: Keep track of when the user is in the pager (or entered the
cmdwin while the pager was open).
Problem: Windows are closed and re-opened after changing tabpage (and
might be removed from the current tabpage after 094b297a).
Solution: Ensure windows are on the current tabpage by moving them.
Problem:
No way to iterate configs. Users need to reach
for `vim.lsp.config._configs`, an internal interface.
Solution:
Provide vim.lsp.get_configs().
Also indirectly improves :lsp enable/disable completion
by discarding invalid configs from completion.
Problem:
When `to_vim_value[info.metatype](info, value)` is called, a list value
such as `{'eob:a'}` is treated like a map, which generates `1:eob:a`.
Note: commands like `:lua vim.opt.wildmode={'longest:full'}` are not an
issue because only cases harcoded in `key_value_options` have metatype `map`.
Solution:
Check for array type and use the same logic as in array metatypes.
Problem:
"[Process exited]" is implemented in C with anonymous namespace
and users have no way to hide it.
Solution:
- Handle "TermClose" event in Lua.
- User can delete the "nvim.terminal" augroup to avoid "[Process exited]".
Problem:
`K` in help files may fail in some noisy text. Example:
(`fun(config: vim.lsp.ClientConfig): boolean`)
^cursor
Solution:
- `:help!` (bang, no args) activates DWIM behavior: tries `<cWORD>`,
then trims punctuation until a valid tag is found.
- Set `keywordprg=:help!` by default.
- Does not affect `CTRL-]`, that is still fully "tags" based.
Problem: Mimicked block mode for cmdline entered while expanded
does not work intuitively for repeated commands yielding
messages exceeding the screen height. The expanded cmdline
resizes and scrolls to bottom/top when appending a message
and entering the cmdline. Also includes the entered command,
as opposed to the UI1 behavior.
Crash when scrolling to bottom of pager due to recursive
uv_run after shell message callback executes `nvim_command()`
with 'showcmd'.
Solution: Still mimic block mode when entering the expanded cmdline,
but when the entered command emits a message open the pager
with the current message content in the expanded cmdline.
Always route typed commands to the pager when it is open.
Use `nvim_buf_set_cursor()` instead of `nvim_command()`.
refactor(lua): add integer coercion helpers
Add vim._tointeger() and vim._ensure_integer(), including optional base
support, and switch integer-only tonumber()/assert call sites in the Lua
runtime to use them.
This also cleans up related integer parsing in LSP, health, loader, URI,
tohtml, and Treesitter code.

Problem:
In autocmd examples, using "args" as the event-object name is vague and
may be confused with a user-command.
Solution:
Use "ev" as the conventional event-object name.
Problem:
If NVIM_LOG_FILE, or the default fallback, is inaccessible (e.g.
directory is owned by root), users get confused.
Solution:
Show a warning when $NVIM_LOG_FILE or $XDG_STATE_HOME are inaccessible.
Also fix a latent memory leak: `os_mkdir_recurse` returns a uv error
code (int), but it was stored as `bool`, causing `os_strerror` to
receive an invalid error code and leak memory.

Problem:
When a terminal process exits, "[Process Exited]" text is added
to the buffer contents.
Solution:
- Return `exitcode` field from `nvim_get_chan_info`.
- Show it in the default 'statusline'.
- Show exitcode as virtual text in the terminal buffer.
Problem: Expanded cmdline is left open after entering the cmdline again
without entering a command that emits another message (after 301c7065).
Solution: Wait for msg_show to reinstate the vim.on_key() handler.
If there was no message close the expanded cmdline.
Problem: Prompts and message text (in block mode) in the cmdline are
parsed and highlighted as if it is Vimscript.
Entering the cmdline while it is expanded can work more like
it does with UI1, where the press enter prompt is replaced
and previous messages stay on the message grid, while
subsequent messages are placed below it.
Solution: Highlight manually with string parser on lines starting with ':'.
Spoof cmdline block mode when the cmdline is entered while it
is expanded.
Problem: Previous tests for this relied on other events opening the
targets, which are not guaranteed to happen.
Solution: Open target windows when entering a new tabpage.
Problem: Unable to immediately open a typed command in the pager.
Solution: Support mapping msg_show "typed_cmd" trigger in
cfg.msg.targets (e.g. `targets = { typed_cmd = 'pager' }`).
Problem:
The DSR wait warning causes any test that involves Nvim TUI to become
flaky on Windows. Example:
FAILED test/functional/terminal/cursor_spec.lua @ 367: :terminal cursor can be positioned arbitrarily
test/functional/terminal\cursor_spec.lua:377: Row 1 did not match.
Expected:
|*^ |
|*~ |
|*~ |
|*~ |
|*~ |
|* |
|{5:-- TERMINAL --} |
Actual:
|* |
|* |
|*{2: }|
|*{103:defaults.lua: Did not detect DSR response from ter}|
|*{103:minal. This results in a slower startup time. }|
|*{UNEXPECTED foreground = tonumber('0x000006'):Press ENTER or type command to continue^ }|
|{5:-- TERMINAL --} |
Solution:
Don't show the DSR wait warning when running tests.
Problem: Unable to configure message targets based on message kind.
Solution: Add cfg.msg.targets mapping message kinds to "cmd/msg/pager".
Check the configured target when writing the message.
cfg.msg = { target = 'cmd', targets = { progress = 'msg', list_cmd = 'pager' } }
will for example use the 'msg' target for progress messages,
immediately open the pager for 'list_cmd' and use the cmdline
for all other message kinds.
Problem:
Descriptions of plugins often contain taglinks which are generally
concealed. This misaligns them by 2 characters with descriptions that
don't have a taglink in them.
Solution:
Don't count "bar" characters (`|`) for the description width.
Example:
Actual buffer content:
```
myplugin.txt |lsp| is cool
myplugin.txt this is a nice plugin
```
Rendered as:
```
myplugin.txt lsp is cool
myplugin.txt this is a nice plugin
```
Problem:
Automatic background detection sets the background option too late,
which loads colorschemes twice and causes problems when the user's
terminal background doesn't match the default (#32109, #36211, #36416).
Solution:
Use a DA1 query to determine whether the TTY supports OSC 11. Wait for
background detection and setting to complete before processing user
config.
Note: To preserve the existing behavior as much as possible, this triggers
OptionSet manually on VimEnter (since it won't trigger automatically if
we set bg during startup). However, I'm unsure if this behavior is
truly desired given that the documentation says OptionSet is triggered
"After setting an option (except during |startup|)."
Also fixes flickering issue #28667. To check for flickering:
nvim --clean --cmd "set termguicolors" --cmd "echo \"foo\"" --cmd "sleep 10"
On master, this gives me a black screen for 10 seconds, but on this
branch, the background is dark or light depending on the terminal
background (since the option is now set during startup rather than after
VimEnter).
Problem: Timer removing a message from the msg buffer does not remove
empty lines if window is closed (col([ui.wins.msg]) fails).
Solution: Use nvim_buf_get_text() to check if line is empty.
Problem: - Unintentionally inserting lines for a replaced multiline
message that also has multiple highlights.
- Scheduled check to see if the expanded cmdline window was
entered makes it difficult to keep track of what happens when
the key pressed to dismiss it results in a message.
- Reading the first line of an error message should be enough
notice for something going wrong.
- "search_cmd" messages should not be shown with 0 'cmdheight'.
- Unable to configure dynamically changed pager height.
- Enabling UI2 doesn't make sense with no UIs attached.
Solution: - Only insert a line for the first chunk after a newline.
- Use getmousepos() to check if the expanded cmdline was
clicked to enter the pager.
entering the pager to serve as a configuration interface.
- Don't expand the cmdline for error messages; user can press g<.
- Don't show "search_cmd" messages with 'cmdheight' set to 0.
- Change 'eventignorewin' to ensure WinEnter is fired when
- Have enable() return early when no UIs are attached.
Problem: Implicitly setting message target when 'cmdheight' changes.
Solution: Just use the user configured target. Support "cmd" target
with 'cmdheight' set to 0.
Problem: Paging keys being consumed without obvious indicator
in the dialog window can be surprising.
Solution: Display a hint with paging keys in the dialog window title
when paging is active. Recognize <Esc> as mapping to stop
paging.
Problem: vim.on_key() called for each message while cmdline is open.
Cursor is on a seemingly random column when pager is entered.
Entering the pager while the cmdline is expanded can be more
convenient than pressing "g<".
Pager window is unnecessarily clamped to half the shell height.
Setting 'laststatus' while pager is open does not adjust its
dimensions.
Solution: Only call vim.on_key() once when dialog window is opened.
Ensure cursor is at the start of the first message when
entering the pager.
Enter the pager window when "<CR>" is pressed while the
cmdline is expanded.
Don't clamp the pager window height.
Set message windows dimensions when 'laststatus' changes.
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:
Escaping logic for {subject} in ex cmd `:help {subject}` is done in a
messy 200+ lines C function which is hard to maintain and improve.
Solution:
Rewrite in Lua. Use `string.gsub()` instead of looping over characters
to improve clarity and add many more tests to be able to confidently
improve current code later on.
Problem:
Using vim.defer_fn() just before Nvim exit leaks luv handles.
Solution:
Make vim.schedule() return an error message if scheduling failed.
Make vim.defer_fn() close timer if vim.schedule() failed.
Problem:
`:lsp enable` with no arguments will fail if there is a invalid config
in `lsp/`, or if `vim.lsp.config[...]` returns nil for any other reason.
Solution:
Add a nil-check to `:lsp enable`.
