Problem:
insert-mode ctrl-r input is treated like raw user input, which is almost
never useful. This means any newlines in the input are affected by
autoindent, etc., which is:
- slow
- usually breaks the formatting of the input
Solution:
- ctrl-r should be treated like a paste, not user-input.
- does not affect `<c-r>=`, so `<c-r>=@x` can still be used to get the
old behavior.

I was initially trying to port several cmdline tests from Vim involving
test_override('char_avail') without having to rewrite entire tests in
Lua, but haven't figured out a good way achieve that yet. Nevertheless
emulating test_override('starting') is easier.
Problem: It is difficult to ignore all but some events.
Solution: Add support for a "-" prefix syntax in '(win)eventignore' that
subtracts an event from the ignored set if present
(Luuk van Baal).

Problem: The check in buf_freeall that restores curwin subtly prevents

Problem: buflist_new() leaks ffname and fails to reuse curbuf when
autocommands from buf_freeall change curbuf. Plus, a new
buffer is not allocated in this case, despite what the comment
above claims.
Solution: Remove the condition so ffname is not leaked and so a new
buffer is allocated like before v8.2.4791. It should not be
possible for undo_ftplugin or buf_freeall autocommands to
delete the buffer as they set b_locked, but to stay consistent
with other uses of buf_freeall, guard against that anyway
(Sean Dewar).
Note that buf is set to NULL if it was deleted to guard against the (rare)
possibility of messing up the "buf != curbuf" condition below if a new buffer
happens to be allocated at the same address.

Problem: When an autocommand executes for a non-current buffer,
'eventignorewin' is only checked from the buffer's last
wininfo (overwrites win_ignore in the loop), not from the
value of 'eventignorewin' in all windows showing the buffer as
described (after v9.1.1084)
Solution: Fix the check and don't use wininfo, as that may only contain
windows that recently showed the buffer. Consider all the
buffer's windows in all tabpages (Sean Dewar).

Solution: Disallow switching to a closing buffer. Editing a closing
buffer (via ":edit", etc.) was fixed in v9.1.0764, but add an
error message and check just "b_locked_split", as "b_locked"
is necessary only when the buffer shouldn't be wiped, and may
be set for buffers that are in-use but not actually closing.

Problem: cannot get information about command line completion
Solution: add CmdlineLeavePre autocommand and cmdcomplete_info() Vim
script function (Girish Palya)
This commit introduces two features to improve introspection and control
over command-line completion in Vim:
- Add CmdlineLeavePre autocmd event:
A new event triggered just before leaving the command line and before
CmdlineLeave. It allows capturing completion-related state that is
otherwise cleared by the time CmdlineLeave fires.
- Add cmdcomplete_info() Vim script function:
Returns a Dictionary with details about the current command-line
completion state.
These are similar in spirit to InsertLeavePre and complete_info(),
but focused on command-line mode.
**Use case:**
In [[PR vim/vim#16759](https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/16759)], two examples
demonstrate command-line completion: one for live grep, and another for
fuzzy file finding. However, both examples share two key limitations:
1. **Broken history recall (`<Up>`)**
When selecting a completion item via `<Tab>` or `<C-n>`, the original
pattern used for searching (e.g., a regex or fuzzy string) is
overwritten in the command-line history. This makes it impossible to
recall the original query later.
This is especially problematic for interactive grep workflows, where
it’s useful to recall a previous search and simply select a different
match from the menu.
2. **Lack of default selection on `<CR>`**
Often, it’s helpful to allow `<CR>` (Enter) to accept the first match
in the completion list, even when no item is explicitly selected. This
behavior is particularly useful in fuzzy file finding.
----
Below are the updated examples incorporating these improvements:
**Live grep, fuzzy find file, fuzzy find buffer:**

selected_match = info.selected != -1 ? info.matches[info.selected] : info.matches[0]
setcmdline(info.cmdline_orig). # Preserve search pattern in history
endif
endif
enddef
```
**Auto-completion snippet:**
```vim

autocmd CmdlineChanged : CmdComplete()
def CmdComplete()
var [cmdline, curpos] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos()]

&& !pumvisible() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
&& cmdline =~ '\%(\w\|[*/:.-]\)$' && cmdline !~ '^\d\+$' # Reduce noise
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "ti")
SkipCmdlineChanged() # Suppress redundant completion attempts
# Remove <C-@> that get inserted when no items are available
timer_start(0, (_) => getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00', '', 'g')->setcmdline())
endif
enddef

set ei+=CmdlineChanged
timer_start(0, (_) => execute('set ei-=CmdlineChanged'))
return key != '' ? ((pumvisible() ? "\<c-e>" : '') .. key) : ''
enddef
```
These customizable snippets can serve as *lightweight* and *native*
alternatives to picker plugins like **FZF** or **Telescope** for common,
everyday workflows. Also, live grep snippet can replace **cscope**
without the overhead of building its database.

vim-patch:partial:9.1.1084: Unable to persistently ignore events in a window and its buffers
Problem: Unable to persistently ignore events in a window and its buffers.
Solution: Add 'eventignorewin' option to ignore events in a window and buffer
(Luuk van Baal)
Add the window-local 'eventignorewin' option that is analogous to
'eventignore', but applies to a certain window and its buffers. Identify
events that should be allowed in 'eventignorewin', adapt "auto_event"
and "event_tab" to encode this information. Window context is not passed
onto apply_autocmds_group(), and when to ignore an event is a bit
ambiguous when "buf" is not "curbuf", rather than a large refactor, only
ignore an event when all windows into "buf" are ignoring the event.

Co-authored-by: Luca Saccarola <github.e41mv@aleeas.com>
Problem:
There are three different ways of marking an option as hidden, `enable_if
= false`, `hidden = true` and `immutable = true`. These also have different
behaviors. Options hidden with `enable_if = false` can't have their value
fetched using Vim script or the API, but options hidden with `hidden = true` or
`immutable = true` can. On the other hand, options with `hidden = true` do not
error when trying to set their value, but options with `immutable = true` do.
Solution:
Remove `enable_if = false`, remove the `hidden` property for options, and use
`immutable = true` to mark an option as hidden instead. Also make hidden option
variable pointers always point to the default value, which allows fetching the
value of every hidden option using Vim script and the API. This does also mean
that trying to set a hidden option will now give an error instead of just being
ignored.

`w_valid` field may have `VALID_BOTLINE` set. Resetting `w_botline`
without marking it as invalid makes subsequent `validate_botline()`
calls a no-op, thus resulting in wrong `line('w$')` value.

Problem: Crash in WinClosed after BufUnload closes other windows
Solution: Don't trigger WinClosed if the buffer is NULL (zeertzjq)
Now win_close_othertab() doesn't trigger any autocommands if the buffer
is NULL, so remove the autocmd blocking above (which was added not long
ago in patch v9.0.0550) for consistency.
Also remove an unreachable close_last_window_tabpage() above:
- It is only reached if only_one_window() returns TRUE and last_window()
returns FALSE.
- If only_one_window() returns TRUE, there is only one tabpage.
- If there is only one tabpage and last_window() returns FALSE, the
one_window() in last_window() must return FALSE, and the ONE_WINDOW
in close_last_window_tabpage() must also be FALSE.
- So close_last_window_tabpage() doesn't do anything and returns FALSE.
Then the curtab != prev_curtab check also doesn't make much sense, and
the only_one_window() can be replaced with a check for popup and a call
to last_window() since this is a stricter check than only_one_window().

Problem: [security]: autocmd cause use-after-free in set_curbuf()
(kawarimidoll)
Solution: check side-effect of BufLeave autocommand, when the number
of windows changed, close windows containing buffers that will
be wiped, if curbuf changed unexpectedly make sure b_nwindows
is decremented otherwise it cannot be wiped
set_curbuf() already makes some efforts to ensure the BufLeave
autocommands do not cause issues. However there are still 2 issues
that are not taken care of:
1) If a BufLeave autocommand opens a new window containing the same
buffer as that is going got be closed in close_buffer() a bit later,
we suddenly have another window open, containing a free'd buffer. So we
must check if the number of windows changed and if it does (and the
current buffer is going to be wiped (according to the 'bufhidden'
setting), let's immediately close all windows containing the current
buffer using close_windows()
2) If a BufLeave autocommand changes our current buffer (displays it in
the current window), buf->b_nwindow will be incremented. As part of
set_curbuf() we will however enter another buffer soon, which means, the
newly created curbuf will have b_nwindows still have set, even so the
buffer is no longer displayed in a window. This causes later problems,
because it will no longer be possible to wipe such a buffer. So just
before entering the final buffer, check if the curbuf changed when
calling the BufLeave autocommand and if it does (and curbuf is still
valid), decrement curbuf->b_nwindows.
Both issues can be verified using the provided test (however the second
issue only because such an impacted buffer won't be wiped, causing
futher issues in later tests).
