Problem: During insert-mode completion, the most relevant match is often
the one closest to the cursor—frequently just above the current line.
However, both `<C-N>` and `<C-P>` tend to rank candidates from the
current buffer that appear above the cursor near the bottom of the
completion menu, rather than near the top. This ordering can feel
unintuitive, especially when `noselect` is active, as it doesn't
prioritize the most contextually relevant suggestions.
Solution: This change introduces a new sub-option value "nearest" for the
'completeopt' setting. When enabled, matches from the current buffer
are prioritized based on their proximity to the cursor position,
improving the relevance of suggestions during completion
(Girish Palya).
Key Details:
- Option: "nearest" added to 'completeopt'
- Applies to: Matches from the current buffer only
- Effect: Sorts completion candidates by their distance from the cursor
- Interaction with other options:
- Has no effect if the `fuzzy` option is also present
This feature is helpful especially when working within large buffers where
multiple similar matches may exist at different locations.
You can test this feature with auto-completion using the snippet below. Try it
in a large file like `vim/src/insexpand.c`, where you'll encounter many
potential matches. You'll notice that the popup menu now typically surfaces the
most relevant matches—those closest to the cursor—at the top. Sorting by
spatial proximity (i.e., contextual relevance) often produces more useful
matches than sorting purely by lexical distance ("fuzzy").
Another way to sort matches is by recency, using an LRU (Least Recently Used)
cache—essentially ranking candidates based on how recently they were used.
However, this is often overkill in practice, as spatial proximity (as provided
by the "nearest" option) is usually sufficient to surface the most relevant
matches.
```vim
set cot=menuone,popup,noselect,nearest inf
def SkipTextChangedIEvent(): string
# Suppress next event caused by <c-e> (or <c-n> when no matches found)
set eventignore+=TextChangedI
timer_start(1, (_) => {
set eventignore-=TextChangedI
})
return ''

Problem: inline word diff treats multibyte chars as word char
(after 9.1.1243)
Solution: treat all non-alphanumeric characters as non-word characters
(Yee Cheng Chin)
Previously inline word diff simply used Vim's definition of keyword to
determine what is a word, which leads to multi-byte character classes
such as emojis and CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) characters all
classifying as word characters, leading to entire sentences being
grouped as a single word which does not provide meaningful information
in a diff highlight.
Fix this by treating all non-alphanumeric characters (with class number
above 2) as non-word characters, as there is usually no benefit in using
word diff on them. These include CJK characters, emojis, and also
subscript/superscript numbers. Meanwhile, multi-byte characters like
Cyrillic and Greek letters will still continue to considered as words.
Note that this is slightly inconsistent with how words are defined
elsewhere, as Vim usually considers any character with class >=2 to be
a "word".

Problem: regexp: max \U and \%U value is limited by INT_MAX but gives a
confusing error message (related: v8.1.0985).
Solution: give a better error message when the value reaches INT_MAX
When searching Vim allows to get up to 8 hex characters using the /\V
and /\%V regex atoms. However, when using "/\UFFFFFFFF" the code point is
already above what an integer variable can hold, which is 2,147,483,647.
Since patch v8.1.0985, Vim already limited the max codepoint to INT_MAX
(otherwise it caused a crash in the nfa regex engine), but instead of
error'ing out it silently fell back to parse the number as a backslash
value and not as a codepoint value and as such this "/[\UFFFFFFFF]" will
happily find a "\" or an literal "F". And this "/[\d127-\UFFFFFFFF]"
will error out as "reverse range in character class).
Interestingly, the max Unicode codepoint value is U+10FFFF which still
fits into an ordinary integer value, which means, that we don't even
need to parse 8 hex characters, but 6 should have been enough.
However, let's not limit Vim to search for only max 6 hex characters
(which would be a backward incompatible change), but instead allow all 8
characters and only if the codepoint reaches INT_MAX, give a more
precise error message (about what the max unicode codepoint value is).
This allows to search for "[\U7FFFFFFE]" (will likely return "E486
Pattern not found") and "[/\U7FFFFFF]" now errors "E1517: Value too
large, max Unicode codepoint is U+10FFFF".
While this change is straight forward on architectures where long is 8
bytes, this is not so simple on Windows or 32bit architectures where long
is 4 bytes (and therefore the test fails there). To account for that,
let's make use of the vimlong_T number type and make a few corresponding
changes in the regex engine code and cast the value to the expected data
type. This however may not work correctly on systems that doesn't have
the long long datatype (e.g. OpenVMS) and probably the test will fail
there.

Problem: Diff mode's inline highlighting is lackluster. It only
performs a line-by-line comparison, and calculates a single
shortest range within a line that could encompass all the
changes. In lines with multiple changes, or those that span
multiple lines, this approach tends to end up highlighting
much more than necessary.
Solution: Implement new inline highlighting modes by doing per-character
or per-word diff within the diff block, and highlight only the
relevant parts, add "inline:simple" to the defaults (which is
the old behaviour)
This change introduces a new diffopt option "inline:<type>". Setting to
"none" will disable all inline highlighting, "simple" (the default) will
use the old behavior, "char" / "word" will perform a character/word-wise
diff of the texts within each diff block and only highlight the
differences.
The new char/word inline diff only use the internal xdiff, and will
respect diff options such as algorithm choice, icase, and misc iwhite
options. indent-heuristics is always on to perform better sliding.
For character highlight, a post-process of the diff results is first
applied before we show the highlight. This is because a naive diff will
create a result with a lot of small diff chunks and gaps, due to the
repetitive nature of individual characters. The post-process is a
heuristic-based refinement that attempts to merge adjacent diff blocks
if they are separated by a short gap (1-3 characters), and can be
further tuned in the future for better results. This process results in
more characters than necessary being highlighted but overall less visual
noise.
For word highlight, always use first buffer's iskeyword definition.
Otherwise if each buffer has different iskeyword settings we would not
be able to group words properly.
The char/word diffing is always per-diff block, not per line, meaning
that changes that span multiple lines will show up correctly.
Added/removed newlines are not shown by default, but if the user has
'list' set (with "eol" listchar defined), the eol character will be be
highlighted correctly for the specific newline characters.
Also, add a new "DiffTextAdd" highlight group linked to "DiffText" by
default. It allows color schemes to use different colors for texts that
have been added within a line versus modified.
This doesn't interact with linematch perfectly currently. The linematch
feature splits up diff blocks into multiple smaller blocks for better
visual matching, which makes inline highlight less useful especially for
multi-line change (e.g. a line is broken into two lines). This could be
addressed in the future.
As a side change, this also removes the bounds checking introduced to
diff_read() as they were added to mask existing logic bugs that were
properly fixed in vim/vim#16768.

Problem: fragile setup to get (preferred) keys from key_name_entry
(after v9.1.1179)
Solution: refactor the code further, fix a bug with "pref_name" key
entry introduced in v9.1.1180 (Yee Cheng Chin)
The optimization introduced for using bsearch() with key_name_entry
in vim/vim#16788 was fragile as it required synchronizing a non-obvious index
(e.g. IDX_KEYNAME_SWU) with the array that could be accidentally changed
by any one adding a key to it. Furthermore, the "pref_name" that was
introduced in that change was unnecessary, and in fact introduced a bug,
as we don't always want to use the canonical name.
The bug is triggered when the user triggers auto-complete using a
keycode, such as `:set <Scroll<Tab>`. The bug would end up showing two
copies of `<ScrollWheelUp>` because both entries end up using the
canonical name.
In this change, remove `pref_name`, and simply use a boolean to track
whether an entry is an alt name or not and modify logic to respect that.
Add test to make sure auto-complete works with alt names
closes: vim/vim#169877d8e7df551
