Problem:
When `z=` delegates to `vim.ui.select()`, the picker may change the
current window before returning. `spell_suggest()` then continues to the
cursor restoration branch with the new window and assigns `prev_cursor`,
which belongs to the original window. This can leave Normal mode with an
invalid cursor position and produce E315.
Solution:
Clean up the spell suggestion state and return immediately after handing
control to `vim.ui.select()`.
Problem:
`<cmd>` mappings do not emit `CmdAtom.text`.
`<cmd>` and Lua-callback mappings that edit the buffer apply only at the
primary cursor, not cascaded (multicursor).
Solution:
Capture the `<cmd>` command in getcmdkeycmd().
Add kKeyOpaque ("no capturable keys"); narrow kKeySynthetic ("not
a keystroke") to K_EVENT/K_IGNORE, so an opaque mapping's edit still
sets `map_edit` and cascades via LHS-replay.
Problem:
`vim.fs.slug()` does not handle URIs like `term://foo//123:bash`,
so callers (e.g. terminal persistence) must strip the scheme before
calling `slug()`.
Solution:
Detect `scheme://` from the raw input before `normalize()` and
replace it with a `=uri-<scheme>-` prefix.
Problem:
`:rundo` on a corrupted undo file crashes or hangs, instead of failing
with E825. Patching one 4-byte field is enough:
ue_size = 0xFFFFFFFF " walks a NULL ue_array
ue_size = 0x7FFFFFF0 " 17 GB xmalloc + memset, then preserve_exit()
ue_top = 0xFFFFFFFB " negative lnum reaches ml_delete()
Analysis:
Every count in the file is read with `undo_read_4c()` and then checked,
differently at each site. None bounds the value by what the file can
hold, so a 2 GB count reaches `xmalloc()`.
Note:
- Vim doesn't have `bi_fsize` because it checks `U_ALLOC_LINE` result
everywhere (thus doesn't crash, but may thrash...); those checks were
dropped when Nvim moved to `xmalloc()`, and the `ue_size` loop counter
became unsigned.
- Vim *does* have the negative line numbers bug: `u_undoredo()` checks
`top > ml_line_count || top >= bot || bot > ml_line_count + 1`, which
rejects none of them.
Solution:
- Introduce `undo_read_len()` and use it to fail early instead of
continuing with nonsense.
- Validate `ue_top`/`ue_bot`/ `ue_lcount`.
- Use `xcalloc()`, so no site can proceed with a NULL array.
- Report a truncated "U" line, distinguish EOF from a 0xFFFFFFFF field,
and free the header on the extmark error path.
Problem:
Undo of a change spanning many paired marks is quadratic. A node's
"intersect" array holds every pair crossing that node, and both
intersect_node() and unintersect_node() walked it linearly. Undoing an
edit over 1M paired marks spends 68% of its time in unintersect_node()'s
scan alone.
Solution:
The array is sorted, so binary search it.
marks undo before after
200k 831ms 385ms
1M 14006ms 3820ms
Redo is unaffected: it is dominated by marktree_move() actually
repositioning the marks.
Problem:
A named mark updated after a change is moved back (treated as the
original mark) by undo:
:1mark d
:$
dw
:2mark d " 'd is on line 2
:undo " 'd is back on line 1
The undo header snapshots `b_namedm` when the change is recorded, and
`u_undoredo()` restores that snapshot indiscriminately.
Solution:
Update the pending header's snapshot when a mark is set explicitly.
Marks that the change itself moved go through mark_adjust(), not
setmark_pos(), so those are still reverted.
Similar to 2546741d1b (for extmarks): an explicit set inside an undo
block is confused with an edit-driven adjustment. But the extmarks case
is dealing with mid-edit moves, whereas named/regular marks only need
the stale snapshot dropped.
Problem:
Setting a :bcd buffer into another window, modifies the caller's CWD.
local b = vim.api.nvim_create_buf(true, true)
vim.api.nvim_buf_call(b, function() vim.cmd.bcd('..') end)
vim.cmd('vsplit')
vim.api.nvim_win_set_buf(vim.fn.win_getid(2), b)
:echo haslocaldir(0) haslocaldir(-1,0) haslocaldir(-1,-1,0)
0 0 0
:echo getcwd() ==# getcwd(-1,-1)
0
Analysis:
`ctx_dirs_save` only saves CWD if it predicts the switch can change it.
But win_set_buf() replaces the target window's buffer *after* the
switch, which cannot be "predicted" from `ctx_dirs_save`.
Solution:
Always snapshot whenever the switch enters another window.
Skipping `os_dirname` was a micro-optimization.
Problem:
nvim_win_set_buf() on a non-current win, while the current win has
a win-local dir, changes the global CWD:
:vsplit | lcd ..
:call nvim_win_set_buf(other_win, buf)
:wincmd l
:verbose pwd
[global] /parent " expected: the initial cwd
Analysis:
`globaldir` is where to return when no local dir applies; NULL means the
process CWD is already there. Switching to a window with no local dir
makes update_cwd() chdir back to `globaldir` and clear it. kCtxKeepCwd
restores the process CWD but not that bookkeeping, so the restored
window-local dir is mistaken for the global one.
Solution:
Save/restore `globaldir` with the CWD.
Problem:
A mark created by `nvim_buf_set_extmark()` while an undo block is open
never comes back on redo.
Analysis:
Undo deletes the text it covers and collapses the range; redo replays
the splices, which re-insert the text but cannot re-expand the mark.
`extmark_set()` records a position only for a mark it moves, not for one
it creates.
Solution:
Record the created position for redo; undo leaves the mark to the splice
replay, since it did not exist before the edit. Each side of a paired
mark gets its own entry. Redo also revives a mark that undo invalidated,
else its position returns but its highlight does not.
Vim's TerminalWinOpen seems to be required because of Vim
buffer-job-popupwin implementation.
Based on the patch, I'm puzzled why fzf needs this on Vim.
Nvim's TermOpen, TermEnter, and detection mechanisms to know
if buffer is on a (active,visible) window should suffice to not port it.
If there was a feature request or issue without a merged fix,
then I can't find it.
https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/pull/2000
Problem:
Directory listing entries cannot be customized (filtered, reordered).
Listings are read by a BufReadCmd, which suppresses BufReadPost, so they
are the only buffers with no post-read event to hook.
Solution:
Introduce a post-render User autocmd `DirReadPost`, marking the dir
buffer writable for the duration and before the cursor is placed, so
handlers can sort or filter it with ordinary commands. Document common
recipes
Problem:
There is no unified notion of a "user action".
Vim processes input by one-char-at-a-time, and mostly throws away any
hints it might gather about the user's action, with one exception: it
stores the last _edit_ action (the "redo buffer", encoded as
unstructured `["x][v][count]body` bytes).
Plugins can only observe individual keys (vim.on_key) and high-level
effects (TextChanged, CursorMoved).
Solution:
- Users can subscribe to `CmdAtom` events to handle any user action.
- Event is deferred; handlers cannot cancel or interfere with user
actions.
- Capture `CmdSpec` from the normal/insert/visual subsystems.
- typeahead/readahead stay unstructured (`buffheader_T`): they are key
streams, not commands.
- the redo/record buffers become `StringBuilder`: fewer
allocations/copies.
- Repurpose the input/redo engine to accept `CmdSpec` objects.
"atom": one repeatable unit of user input, as a resolved (post-mapping)
keysequence plus structured fields. Only user actions, not `:normal`,
API calls, or non-"t" `feedkeys`.
BREAKING: dot-repeat of an Insert session, replays the entire session
including cursor-moves (:help ins-repeat).
BREAKING: dot-repeat of a Visual operation, replays the selection
instead of operating on a fixed-size region.

Problem:
`inputlist()` advertises "click with the mouse" purely because it
implements click selection, so under the default `'mouse'` of "nvi" it
offers a click that command-line mode never receives.
Solution:
Only offer the mouse when `'mouse'` covers command-line mode, the same
condition `:help inputlist()` already documents.
Problem:
vim.diagnostic.set() defers extmark position computation for an
unloaded buffer via a once=true BufRead autocmd, registering a new one
on every call without replacing the previous one. Each pending autocmd
also retains that call's diagnostics.
Solution:
Instead of registering an autocmd per set() call, register a single
static BufRead autocmd that computes positions from the diagnostic
cache for any buffer with cached diagnostics when it is read. This
removes the per-call registration entirely (nothing left to
accumulate) and means diagnostics cleared while the buffer was
unloaded no longer produce stale extmarks.
Use "fromstart" syncing.
Pragment regions are delimited by shared start/end tokens which render
other syncing types largely useless. A sync point located in the middle
of a multiline comment cannot distinguish the end token from a start
token and the erroneously created region runs to EOF.

vim-patch:c6b041c63 CI: Keep the GTK4 job from affecting the other jobs
Problem: sort() with "n", "N" or "f" converts an item to its number on
every comparison. For "n" that is a tv2string() plus strtod()
per comparison, so sorting a list of numbers turns each number
into a string and back O(n log n) times, dwarfing the sort.
Solution: Compute the numeric key of each item once, before the sort,
and compare the stored key (Samuel Schlesinger). Only the
builtin numeric compare modes are affected; uniq(), which
passes a bare list item to the compare function, and the
string and user-function paths are unchanged.
Sorting a list of 100000 numbers (min of 3, macOS arm64):
- sort(l, 'n'): 0.205s -> 0.017s
- sort(l, 'N'): 0.017s -> 0.010s
- sort(l, 'f'): 0.014s -> 0.010s
The result is identical, including that a string is still treated as 0
in "n" mode and that "N" keeps full 64-bit precision.
Add Test_sort_numeric_precomputed(): a large shuffled list sorted with
"n", mixed integers and floats, int64 values beyond the exact range of
a double for "N", and uniq() over the non-precomputed path.

Problem: Reading an undo file resolves every stored sequence number
with a linear scan over all headers, making loading
quadratic in the number of undo states.
Solution: Sort uhp_table on uh_seq once and resolve each reference
with a binary search; the duplicate uh_seq check becomes a
single pass over the sorted table (Samuel Schlesinger).
At the default 'undolevels' of 1000 the quadratic cost is not
measurable; it takes 'undolevels' in the tens of thousands to matter.
Loading an undo file with 20000 states and 50 alternate branches with
:rundo goes from 1.49s to 0.11s (min of 3, macOS arm64), with the
same undotree().
Also make old_idx/new_idx/cur_idx and the loop index "i" long instead
of short/int: they index uhp_table, whose length num_head is a long
read from the file. A short index truncated above 32767 headers,
making the restored b_u_oldhead/b_u_newhead/b_u_curhead pointers
wrong in exactly the many-headers case this change is about.
Add tests: a round-trip test with alternate branches that compares
the entries of the tree and the text at every sequence number, a
corruption test with a duplicated uh_seq, and a test for reading an
undo file with zero headers, which is written when only the line for
the "U" command is saved.
