Problem:
On NetBSD, `man -w open` can return the exact manpage path, but `:Man`
may still fail when man directories cannot be discovered from `manpath
-q`, bare `man -w`, or `$MANPATH`.
Solution:
Fall back to the direct manpage lookup when directory discovery fails.
Add a test for resolving `open(2)` through `goto_tag()` without manpath
data.
Problem: A preselected item is inserted even with "noinsert", and the
first added preselected item wins over the first one shown
in the menu.
Solution: Use K_DOWN when "noinsert" is set; pick the first preselected
item that made it into the menu.
Problem:
POSIX-compatible Ex-mode requires special-cases all over the codebase to
match various quirks that don't actually matter to users.
- The main utility of *interactive* Ex-mode is its REPL behavior, and
that can be achieved with `cmdwin`, which also gains extra UX
benefits.
- The main utility of *non-interactive* `nvim -es` is for shell
scripting, where Ex-mode quirks are mostly unhelpful (e.g. the
"Entering Ex mode" message).
Solution:
- Reimplement *interactive* Ex-mode as a "persistent, insert-mode
cmdwin" in Lua.
- "nvim -e/-E" is simply an alias to "gQ".
- Reframe *non-interactive* Ex-mode (`nvim -es`) as "script mode".
- Drop POSIX Ex-mode quirks.
Improvements:
- "nvim -V1 -es" output ends with a final newline!
- "nvim -V1 -es" no longer shows the "Entering Ex mode" msg. (This was
pointless noise, unwanted for scripting purposes.)
- stdin is no longer typeahead. Scripts (":lua io.read()") can read
stdin as data.
- Empty line is a no-op: a stray blank line no longer moves the cursor
(deviates from POSIX ex "+1"), no longer exits 1 at EOF (E501).
Preserved behavior:
- cursor starts at "$"
- mode()=="cv" (for non-interactive)
- multiline commands (:append/:function/heredoc pull continuation lines)
- bare-range print
- :print=>stdout
- -V1=>stderr
- CRLF input
- continue-after-error and exit codes
Dropped (regressed) POSIX behavior (non-interactive):
- Event loop only ticks while/between commands, not while blocked
waiting for a stdin line.
- ":g/pat/visual...Q"
- input()/getchar()/":s/x/y/c" no longer consume stdin lines as
answers: Nvim stops at end-of-input, skipping the rest of the script,
exit 0. Use ":lua io.read()" instead.
- If users care about this they should use interactive Ex-mode (`gQ`).
- ":@r" stops at end of the register instead of continuing to read
cmdline input from stdin.
Problem:
The current check is intended to match DOS device paths starting with
`\\?` or `\\.` but will match any path starting with `?` or `.`,
including relative paths such as `.\`.
This is because the leading slashes are removed before the comparison.
Solution:
Changes the check to include the path's prefix, assuring the path has
the correct amount of separators for a DOS device path.
Problem:
After expanding tabs with the `expandtab` option, if the old indent
matches the requested one, `vim.text.indent()` returns the input
unchanged.
The optimization path assumes that if old_indent == size, the input
wouldn't be changed, which is not correct when old_indent is formed by
expanded tabs.
Solution:
Apply the optimization only when `expandtab` is not set.
Problem: Shortening the name of a buffer whose full name is the current
directory + path sep yields empty string -> buf unnamed.
This doesn't interact well with things like `:mksession`, which
for example could `:badd` with no arg -> E471.
Solution: Keep the full path when shortening yields an empty name, as
`path_try_shorten_fname()` already does.
Problem: 'showcmd' not redrawn with empty mapping triggered on timeout.
Solution: Don't postpone redraw when inside vgetorpeek(). Also move test
for tabline 'showcmd' to test_tabline.vim.
fixes: vim/vim#20839closes: vim/vim#208402e9687647a
Problem: `q:` in visual mode does not insert `'<,'>` automatically in
the current line on cmdwin.
Solution: Insert `'<,'>` in the current line on cmdwin when `q:` is used
in visual mode.
Problem: `:browse edit` (and variants) without an argument fails instead
of opening a browser.
Solution: Dispatch to dir.lua using the cwd as the implied directory.
Replace the inherited GUI-only documentation with the supported
behavior. Support vsplit, split, tabedit variants.
Changes:
- Removed the blank line before the first healthcheck header.
- Fixed a bug where the entire "Terminal" section of `vim.health` would
not appear if the `infocmp` executable was not found.
- Fixed a typo in `vim.lsp` when displaying the LSP log level.
The parent commit made a valiant effort to store "dict options" in their
reified form, but this is more trouble than it's worth:
- inconsistent model for developers to understand.
- string lifetime issues (the "varp" convention is to pass around an
aliased, long-lived option value).
- lots of extra plumbing to deal with the 2 different option-storage
paradigms.
Problem:
Options parsing is still painful for dict-style options.
Solution:
schema-maxxing => better `opt:get()` (will be the basis for `vim.o()`),
unified (and more-detailed) err msgs.
- Drop bespoke structure-builder in `_core/options.lua`.
- Define `schema` for all non-primitive options (except 'guicursor' and
statusline-style options); generate reified keysets `OptKeyDict`).
- Generate 'fillchars' => `fcs_tab`, 'listchars' => `lcs_tab`.
- `nvim_set_option_value`:
- Return the improved structures. Also from `vim.opt.x:get()`.
- Eliminate api <=> lua roundtrip, centralize option structure
handling.
- Improve/unify errors.
- Bump ERR_BUFLEN 80 → 256 so the "one of" list isn't truncated.
- Eliminate old 'diffopt' order-dependence (`iwhiteall` before `iwhite`)
Error samples:
Typed-key path (opt_strings_check → diffopt/mousescroll/breakindentopt):
E474: Unknown item 'foo'
E474: 'context' requires a number
E474: 'ver' number is out of range
E474: 'algorithm' must be one of: myers, minimal, patience, histogram
E474: 'filler' does not take a value

- :get() returns `{ sbr = true, shift = '3' }` (reified-keyset) instead of `{'sbr', 'shift:3'}`
- Setting via table now works too. `object_as_optval_for` `is_map` now recognizes struct options.
- fix#30296
- instead of `E474: Invalid argument`, errors now look like:
```
E474: Invalid value 'x', expected one of: single, double: ambiwidth=x
E474: Unknown item 'foo': diffopt=foo
E474: 'context' requires a number: diffopt=context:x
```
simplify `win_float_parse_option` from #26799.
Problem:
The preview-window (:pedit, etc.) always uses a split, but it would be
useful as a floatwin (or "popup").
Solution:
Support Vim's 'previewpopup' option.
Problem:
The core behaviors of `nvim.dir` cannot be reused by consumers
such as the archive plugin, ssh browser, etc.
Solution:
- Define a basic "provider" shape.
- Extract the filesystem provider.
Problem:
When buffer is open in multiple windows and its line count changes, any
'statusline' or 'rulerformat' items depending on it (e.g. %P) will
become invalid in non-current windows because w_redr_status is only set
on first change.
Solution:
Set w_redr_status on all windows with the buffer when the line count
changes.

Problem:
Redundant code.
Solution:
Combine path_has_wildcard() and path_has_exp_wildcard(). They have similar logic.
Also, the latter operates on whatever wildcards remain after shell/env/backtick
expansion, so the two felt somewhat related.
Also drop some unnecessary MB_PTR_ADV calls.
Problem: do_sub() only checks the timeout limit after finishing a line.
A pathological regex will run on a single line input unbounded
until the compute is completed.
Solution: Pass the timeout limit to `vim_regexec_multi()` so the
computation on the regex engine is bounded per-line.

* fix(help): preserve multi-letter CTRL modifiers in :help subject
Problem: After PR 39537 normalized `CTRL-U-default` by excluding
`-` from the trigger char class, the regex `(CTRL%-[^{])([^-_\\])`
also fires between `CTRL-S` and the `H` of the `SHIFT` modifier
in tags like `c_CTRL-SHIFT-V`, splitting it into the non-existent
`c_CTRL-S_HIFT-V`.
Solution: Exclude uppercase letters from the char class so a
multi-letter modifier following `CTRL-X` (e.g. `SHIFT`, `ALT`) is
no longer split. The `-` exclusion from 39537 is preserved so
`i_CTRL-U-default` still works.
* fix(help): escape ~ in expr-=~? exception to keep regex valid
Problem: The `expr-=~?` exception in the tag alias table maps to
`=~?`, but in Vim's regex engine `~` refers to the previous
substitute pattern. With no prior substitute the pattern fails to
compile, so `:help expr-=~?` returns E149 even though the tag exists.
Solution: Escape `~` as \\\~` so the alias expands to a valid
regex (`=\\\~?`) that substring-matches the `expr-=~?` tag. Other
`expr-X?` entries are unaffected since they don't contain `~`.
* fix(help): don't insert _ before CTRL- when preceded by -
Problem: The rule `([^_])CTRL%- -> %1_CTRL-` inserts an underscore
between any non-underscore char and `CTRL-`, which wrongly rewrites
tags like `map-CTRL-C` and `telnet-CTRL-]` (where `CTRL-` is
literal text in the tag, not a key chord).
Solution: Exclude `-` from the trigger char class so a hyphen
immediately before `CTRL-` is preserved. The existing behavior for
`iCTRL-GCTRL-J` -> `i_CTRL-G_CTRL-J` is unaffected because the
`G` before `CTRL-J` is not `-`.
* fix(help): only treat ^X as caret notation for valid control chars
Problem: The regex `%^([^_])` converts any `^X` to `CTRL-X`,
including `:set^=` where `^=` is literal text in the tag, not a
caret-notation control character.
Solution: Restrict the transformation to caret-notation chars
(`%a` or one of `?@[\\]^{}`). This matches the C reference
behavior where `^X` is only converted when X is alphanumeric or one
of the control-notation punctuation chars. `{` is retained so
`^{char}` still maps to the `CTRL-{char}` placeholder tag.
Problem:
When 'shellslash' is set, exepath() returns forward-slashed paths.
Passing that path to vim.system() can prevent cmd.exe from launching.
Solution:
Convert the resolved executable path to native separators before spawning.
Add a Windows regression test for cmd.exe with 'shellslash' enabled.
Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.
- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
"know" about the various magic symbols.
So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.
Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
`t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.
Problem:
The existing `showmode` overlay can immediately cover messages emitted while
Visual mode is active, including the `g CTRL-G` word count.
Solution:
Protect Visual mode messages with the existing message delay and temporarily
hide the previous last-line overlay until it is restored.
Problem:
The title is combined with window's attributes only if the title is a
string (which implies the FloatTitle / FloatFooter highlight groups),
but not when the title is text-hl chunks.
Solution:
Combine specified highlight group with window-local Normal highlight as
well.

Problem:
LSP hover erroneously drops blank lines before a 4-space-indented
codeblock, which is not valid Markdown. This causes incorrect parsing
and wrong display.
Solution:
Fix `split_lines` so that it doesn't drop the blank line just before
a 4-space-indented codeblock.

Problem:
A floating preview window (hover, signature help) converted to a normal
window (e.g. with CTRL-W_H or nvim_win_set_config()) is still closed by
the open_floating_preview() autocommands, and a later preview may focus
or close it as if it were still a float.
Solution:
When the preview window is no longer floating, remove its auto-close
autocommands and stop tracking it as the buffer's floating preview.
Closes#36659
Problems:
On Windows, `:w somedir` (where somedir is an existing directory
in pwd) shows the misleading `E13: File exists (add ! to override)`
instead of `E17: "somedir" is a directory`.
Solution:
drop unnecessary `#ifdef` guard.
Problem:
Mysterious Windows CI failure points to resource exhaustion, but we have
no visibility/instrumentation:

Solution:
Append the child exit-code and signal to the "EOF … crashed" message.
Example:
Nvim EOF (crash?) exit code: 42 (0x0000002A)
On the next failing Windows run, the first crash line will classify the failure:
- 0xC0000005 → access violation (nvim bug)
- 0xC0000374 → heap corruption (nvim bug)
- spawn/resource error or "clean" exit-code → system resource exhaustion
Problem:
nvim_create_autocmd() isn't |api-fast|, so modules that create autocmds
(e.g. vim.treesitter.query) can't be require()d in a fast event context.
Solution:
Mark it |api-fast|. Compile autocmd patterns with RE_NOBREAK so
aucmd_next() won't os_breakcheck() mid-iteration, where a fast
nvim_create_autocmd() could realloc the autocmds vector and dangle the
caller's AutoPat/AutoCmd.
RE_NOBREAK is low-risk because:
- aucmd_next()'s loop checks CTRL-C: `(for (… i < apc->ausize && !got_int; …)`.
- `line_breakcheck()` (`autocmd.c:1912`) runs once per matched autocmd.
- Each autocmd _execution_ runs through `do_cmdline`, which has its own
breakchecks.
However this does admit risk of a pathological case:
a catastrophic-backtracking glob matched against a very long `User`
event-pattern.
