Problem:
The `float` field of vim.diagnostic.config can be a function,
but diagnostic.open_float() does not handle it correctly.
Solution:
Add handling for it in open_float().
Problem: nvim_open_tabpage's "enter" argument is optional, which is inconsistent
with nvim_open_win.
Solution: make it a (non-optional) positional argument, like nvim_open_win.
Also change "enter"'s description to be more like nvim_open_win's doc.
Problem: "after" in nvim_open_tabpage is inconsistent with how a count works
with :tab, :tabnew, etc. Plus, the name "after" implies it's inserted after that
number.
Solution: internally offset by 1. Allow negative numbers to mean after current.
Hmm, should we even reserve sentinels for after current? Callers can probably
just use nil...
- Cleanup, remove redundant comments, add more tests.
- Enhance win_new_tabpage rather than create a new function for !enter, and use
a different approach that minimizes side-effects. Return the tabpage_T * and
first win_T * it allocated.
- Disallow during textlock, like other APIs that open windows.
- Remove existing win_alloc_firstwin error handling from win_new_tabpage; it's
not needed, and looks incorrect. (enter_tabpage is called for curtab, which is
not the old tabpage! Plus newtp is not freed)
- Fix checks after creating the tabpage:
- Don't fail if buf wasn't set successfully; the tab page may still be valid
regardless. Set buffer like nvim_open_win, possibly blocking Enter/Leave
events. (except BufWinEnter)
- tp_curwin may not be the initial window opened by win_new_tabpage. Use the
win_T * it returns instead, which is the real first window it allocated,
regardless of autocmd shenanigans.
- Properly check whether tab page was freed; it may have also been freed
before win_set_buf. Plus, it may not be safe to read its handle!
Problem:
"Sorry" in a message (1) is noise, and (2) actually reduces the clarity
of the message because the titlecasing of "Sorry" distracts from the
actually important part of the message.
Solution:
Drop "Sorry" from messages.
Problem: termdebug :Break does not support `thread` and `if` arguments
Solution: extend :Break and :Tbreak to accept optional location, thread
{nr}, and if {expr} arguments (Yinzuo Jiang).

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: only possible to move floats between tabpages if relative=win, which
has the restrictive effect of also anchoring it to the target window.
Solution: allow "win" without "relative" or "split"/"vertical". Only assume
missing "win" is 0 if relative=win is given to maintain that behaviour. (or when
configuring a new window)
Also add an error when attempting to change a split into a float that's in
another tabpage, as this isn't actually supported yet. (until the next commit)
Maybe this could do with some bikeshedding. Unclear if "win" should require
"relative" to be given, like with "row"/"col"; this can be annoying though as
specifying "relative" requires other fields to be given too.
- Factor out logic to keep nvim_win_set_config clean.
- Clean up a few things, remove redundant logic, reflow some lines.
- Add some more comments where appropriate.
- Don't consider negative "win", as that's only relevant for splits.
- Add more test coverage.
- Add news.txt entry.
Problem: Statusline component of diagnostics allows only the default
format "sign:count".
Solution: Extend vim.diagnostic.Opts.Status to allow a custom signs
or formatting function that provides the status presentation.
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:
In aec3d7915c Vim changed prompt-buffers
to respect 'modified' so the termdebug plugin can "control closing the
window". But for most use-cases (REPL, shell, AI "chat", …),
prompt-buffers are in practice always "modified", and no way to "save"
them, so *implicitly* setting 'modified' is noisy and annoying.
Solution:
Don't implicitly set 'modified' when a prompt-buffer is updated.
Plugins/users can still explicitly set 'modified', which will then
trigger the "E37: No write since last change" warning.
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:
There is an inconsistency between extmarks/highlights regarding the
`end_col` param.
Solution:
Allow end_col=-1 to mean "end of line" (if strict=false).

Problem: Documentation of `vim.pack.update()` contains a lot of text
inside nested list. This might be a bit confusing to parse for humans
and definitely confusing to parse for neovim.io.
The description of `vim.pack` directory is not correct for Windows.
Solution: Move description of confirmation buffer in a separate
"subsection".
Use '"data" standard path' instead of '$XDG_DATA_HOME/nvim' when
documenting directory. Also use `|standard-path|` tag to link to
standard path section instead of `|stdpath()|`.
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' }`).
- Use double underscores for the group targets as these targets usually
shouldn't be used directly.
- Use dash instead of underscore in the two targets that need to be used
directly. I'm not entirely sure about this, as both chars are used in
many targets, but a dash is easier to type than an underscore.
Problem: Unable to tell whether a msg_show event is emitted as a result
a command typed on the cmdline (UI may want to represent these
differently from other messages).
Solution: Add trigger parameter that is set to "typed_cmd" for
a message emitted due to an interactively typed command.
Possible extensions are mapping/timer/event but it's hard to
imagine a UI distinguishing those so not added here.
Problem: nvim_win_get_config() does not return a window's "style".
Solution: always include it, and document `style=""`.
Always included so it can be used reciprocally with nvim_open_win() or
nvim_win_set_config(). (otherwise the config of a window with kWinStyleUnused
will not unset the kWinStyleMinimal style of another window if passed to
nvim_win_set_config, for example)
Problem: cannot display tabs for indentation
Solution: Add the "leadtab" value to the 'listchars' option to
distinguish between tabs used for indentation and tabs used
for alignment (HarshK97).

Problem: currently in the example a new diagnostic namespace is created
for showing it manually with a custom config. Because of a separate
namespace, when the original diagnostic source sets diagnostics again,
it will not affect the diagnostic shown in that new namespace and the
user would need to implement the logic for hiding it themselves,
separately as well.
Solution: instead of creating a new namespace, reuse the original
diagnostic's namespace, so once the source sets diagnostics again, it's
removed and hidden automatically without user having to do anything
extra for that.
Problem: If Nvim server fails to --listen and prints error before the
TUI enters alternate screen, the error isn't visible.
Solution: Forward server stderr using client side stderr handler instead
of having the server inherit client stderr file descriptor.
This does mean that `stderr_isatty` will be `false` in the server, but
that value doesn't matter in embedded mode.
Always pass `stdin_fd` to embedded server to avoid a hang when reading
from stdin when it's a TTY (not sure why one wants to do that, perhaps
by mistake), because if `stdin_fd` isn't passed, the server will try to
use stderr as stdin.
Example test failure on CI:
FAILED test/functional/terminal/tui_spec.lua @ 41: TUI exit status 1 and error message with server --listen error #34365
test/functional/terminal\tui_spec.lua:55: Failed to match any screen lines.

In this case, it appears that the client entered alternate screen in the
middle of the server's print_mainerr().
Problem: Color completion items display as plain text without visual preview
Solution: Parse RGB/hex colors from documentation and render with colored symbol ■
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:
vim.fs.joinpath treats empty string as a path segment
(it adds a path separator for each empty item):
print(vim.fs.joinpath('', 'after/lsp', '')) -- '/after/lsp/'
print(vim.fs.joinpath('', '')) -- '/'
Especially problematic if the empty segment is the first segment, as
that converts the path to an absolute path.
Solution:
Ignore empty (length of 0) path segments.
Benchmark:
local function test(func)
local t = vim.uv.hrtime()
for _ = 1, 100000, 1 do
func('', 'this/is', 'a/very/long/path', '', 'it', 'really', 'is')
end
print(math.floor((vim.uv.hrtime() - t) / 1e6), 'ms')
end
- with Iter():filter() --> 370 ms
- building new segments table --> 208 ms
- with vim.tbl_filter --> 232 ms
- Instead of gsub split on `/` in all parts --> 1870 ms
Problem:
Regression from b99cdd0:
Pull diagnostics (from `textDocument/diagnostic`) and push diagnostics
(from `textDocument/publishDiagnostics`) use the same namespace, which
is a problem when using language servers that publish two different sets
of diagnostics on push vs pull, like rust-analyzer (see
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/issues/18709#issuecomment-2551394047).
Solution:
Rename `is_pull` to `pull_id` which accepts a pull namespace instead of
just a boolean.
Problem: Not possible to know when a session will be loaded.
Solution: Add the SessionLoadPre autocommand (Colin Kennedy).
