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:
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:
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:
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:
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).

Problem:
If a server is slow with catching up, there can be stale diagnostics
for deleted lines. Then if a user uses `jump` it can error like:
E5108: Lua: ...runtime/lua/vim/diagnostic.lua:670: attempt to index a nil value
stack traceback:
...runtime/lua/vim/diagnostic.lua:670: in function 'get_logical_pos'
...runtime/lua/vim/diagnostic.lua:687: in function 'diagnostic_lines'
...runtime/lua/vim/diagnostic.lua:1122: in function 'next_diagnostic'
...runtime/lua/vim/diagnostic.lua:1665: in function 'jump'
Solution:
Fallback to diagnostic location. That's better than the failure.
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:
- `:args` and `argv()` can change after startup.
- `v:arg` includes options/commands, not just files.
- Plugins (e.g. Oil) may rewrite directory args.
Solution:
- New read-only var `v:argf`: snapshot of file/dir args at startup.
- Unaffected by `:args` or plugins.
- Unlike `v:argv`, excludes options/commands.
- Paths are resolved to absolute paths when possible
Example:
nvim file1.txt dir1 file2.txt
:echo v:argf
" ['/home/user/project/file1.txt', '/home/user/project/dir1', '/home/user/project/file2.txt']
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:
:InspectTree don't show luadoc injection lua file. Since luadoc share
the same "root" with comment in their common primary (lua) tree.
Current logic simply show the largest (comment injection) and ignore all
smaller one (luadoc injection).
Solution:
Handle different lang injections separately. Then sort them by
byte_length to ensure the draw tree consistent.
Problem:
When vim._watch.watch() is used to watch a single file, libuv returns
the basename as the filename argument in the callback. The code joins
this with the watched path, producing a nonsensical path like
"/path/to/file.lua/file.lua", which causes ENOTDIR errors on
subsequent fs_stat calls.
Solution:
Check whether the watched path is a directory before joining the
filename. When watching a file, ignore the filename from libuv and
use the watched path directly.
`lsp.config[]` resolves an LSP config the first time it is called, and
returns the cached result on subsequent calls.
The change in #37571 added an extra call to `lsp.config[]` which will
resolve the config *before* the server is added to `_enabled_configs`,
meaning the result is discarded. That means configs will be needlessly
resolved again once `lsp_enable_callback` fires for the first time. That
includes an additional `loadfile()` call which is relatively expensive
and can have unexpected side effects.
Avoid this by storing the result of the initial call to `lsp.config[]`
in `_enabled_configs` so the config is not resolved a second time once
`lsp_enable_callback` is called for the first time.
Problem: after #33036, an error from evaluating 'statusline' clears it and
doesn't draw the statusline. (causing glitchy redraws)
Solution: use the default value instead. If 'stl' is somehow ever empty, still
call redraw_custom_statusline to at least draw an empty statusline.
Ideally our default 'stl' shouldn't itself error too! :-)
Also adjust some prior screen:expect()s to avoid immediate success warnings.
Problem:
TUI does not support several standard SGR text attributes:
- dim/faint (SGR 2)
- blink (SGR 5)
- conceal (SGR 8)
- overline (SGR 53)
This means that when a program running in the embedded terminal emits
one of these escape codes, we drop it and don't surface it to the
outer terminal.
Solution:
- Add support for those attributes.
- Also add corresponding flags to `nvim_set_hl` opts, so users can set
these attributes in highlight groups.
- refactor(highlight): widen `HlAttrFlags` from `int16_t` to `int32_t`
Widen the `rgb_ae_attr` and `cterm_ae_attr` fields in HlAttrs from
int16_t to int32_t to make room for new highlight attribute flags,
since there was only one spare bit left.
- The C flag is named HL_CONCEALED to avoid colliding with the
existing HL_CONCEAL in syntax.h (which is a syntax group flag, not
an SGR attribute).
- Also note that libvterm doesn't currently support the dim and overline
attributes, so e.g. `printf '\e[2mThis should be dim\n'` and `printf
'\e[53mThis should have an overline\n'` are still not rendered
correctly when run from the embedded terminal.
Problem: filetype: sh filetype used for env files
Solution: Detect *.env and .env.* files as env filetype,
detect .envrc and .envrc.* as sh filetype,
include a simple env syntax script (DuckAfire)
Previously, .env files were handled by the shell syntax. While
functional, this limited the ability to support specific .env
implementations, such as CodeIgniter4 which allows dots in keys
(e.g., "foo.bar=0").
The new dedicated 'env' filetype and syntax script improves legibility
and prevents highlighting from breaking when encountering spaces.
Currently, the syntax does not support indentation; fields, variables,
and comments must start at the beginning of the line.

Problem: If buffer has attached LSP servers and none of them supports
`textDocument/documentLink` method, typing `gx` results in a warning
about that.
Solution: Explicitly check that at least one server supports the target
method before making the LSP request.
Problem:
Some UI clients break if space follows the comma in 'guifont' items.
Also the new 'guifont' default may cause problems if none of the fonts are found.
Solution:
Remove trailing whitespace.
Add a "monospace" fallback which `fontconfig` can resolve on *nix systems.
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: items() does not work for Blobs

**Problem:** No easy way to stack highlight groups #35806.
**Solution:** Add a way to specify a new statusline chunk with a
highlight group that inherits from previous highlight attributes.
Also applies to tabline, etc.
The [spec for `workspace/configuration`](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#workspace_configuration)
marks the `section` property of each item in `items` optional.
Therefore, I believe it violates the spec to skip over items without
a section, because then the length of the results won't match the length
of a valid `items` input. The spec does not elaborate on _what_ to
return in this case, but I don't think it would be controversial to say
that returning the full configuration, as done for an empty string, is
the most natural interpretation.
That empty string case, by the way, was initially [added in
response](5da124fc82)
to a real world implementation requesting it. I don't have a similar
real world implementation to point to for the omitted `section`, but
I would note that `getConfiguration()` from `vscode-languageserver-node`
[defaults to a request with no section](d859bb14d1/server/src/common/configuration.ts (L24-L26))
when called with no arguments. I surmise that this is intended as a way
to retrieve the full configuration.
Problem:
When quitting Nvim, LSP servers will not be force-stopped, even if
ClientConfig.exit_timeout is set to an integer.
pkill emmylua_ls; VIMRUNTIME=runtime/ nvim --clean -u repro.lua repro.lua ; waitpid $(pgrep emmylua_ls)
vim.lsp.config('foo', { cmd = { 'emmylua_ls' }, exit_timeout = 1000 })
vim.lsp.enable('foo')
vim.defer_fn(vim.cmd.quit, 500)
Solution:
On VimExit, wait up to `exit_timeout:integer` milliseconds for servers
to exit. Do this with an explicit `vim.wait()`, because the actual
force-stop is deferred, and won't be attempted if Nvim exits before
then.

- Refactor LSP client to use unified provider-based capability lookup for
diagnostics and other features.
- Introduce `_provider_value_get` to abstract capability retrieval,
supporting both static and dynamic registrations.
- Update diagnostic handling and protocol mappings to leverage
provider-centric logic.
Problem: Executing `nvim_buf_delete()` does not guarantee that the
window which shows the buffer is going to close after `:write` or
`:quit`. In particular, if there is no listed buffer present.
Solution: Explicitly close the window that was created for confirmation
buffer. Use `pcall` to catch cases when the window was already closed
or when it is the last window.
Problem:
`vim.diagnostic.fromqflist` ignores lines that are `item.valid == 0` (see
`getqflist`). Many qflists have messages that span multiple lines, which look
like this:
collection/src/Modelling/CdOd/Central.hs|496 col 80| error: [GHC-83865]
|| • Couldn't match expected type: InstanceWithForm
|| (FilePath
|| -> SelectValidCdInstWithForm
...
calling `vim.diagnostic.fromqflist(vim.fn.getqflist)` gets a diagnostic message
like this:
error: [GHC-83865]
only the first line is kept, but often, the remaing lines are useful as well.
Solution:
Introduce `merge_lines` option, which "squashes" lines from invalid qflist items
into the error message of the previous valid item, so that we get this
diagnostic message instead:
error: [GHC-83865]
• Couldn't match expected type: InstanceWithForm
(FilePath
-> SelectValidCdInstWithForm
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.
