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: `: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.
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:
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:
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
Problem:
Float border highlight groups (FloatBorder, FloatTitle and FloatFooter)
fall back to Normal background highlight if no background color set.
Solution:
Combine border colors with window-local Normal highlight.
Fix#38330
Problem: values from completionList.itemDefaults always replace the
item's own commitCharacters and data. Since 3.18 a server can ask for
them to be merged instead.
Solution: Handle CompletionList.applyKind and advertise applyKindSupport.
Drop itemDefaults once folded into the items: get_items() runs twice on
the same result and a Merge isn't idempotent.

Problem:
Third-party directory browsers do not have a documented way to take over local
directory buffers from nvim.dir.
Solution:
Document deleting the nvim.dir augroup and handling FileType directory as the
after-startup handoff, and avoid installing the built-in buffer-local "-" mapping
when "-" is already mapped.
Problem: LSP completion commitCharacters are not handled. Typing a
commit character (e.g. `.`, `(`, `;`) while a completion item is
selected does not accept the item first.
Solution: Store commit characters as a flat string in complete-items.
Check it before completion stops, accept the match and let
the character be inserted normally.
Problem:
`FileType directory` fires *before* the `BufEnter` path where `dir.lua`
populates the buffer, in order to allow a 3P dir-browser plugin to handle the
event and (optionally) rename the buffer to e.g. `example:///tmp/foo/`.
But currently, `open_buffer()` continues after `filetypedetect BufRead` as if
the original directory buffer is *still* current and valid, which may fall
through to the built-in `nvim.dir` path after a 3P plugin ALREADY handled the
directory.
Solution:
Keep a buf ref around the early `filetypedetect BufRead` call for directory
buffers.
If the `FileType directory` handler switches away from/deletes the original
directory buffer, stop the open path instead of continuing into the built-in
`nvim.dir` flow.

Problem:
A successful `BufReadCmd` can leave an existing `filetype` without
rerunning its `FileType` setup, so state cleared during reload may not
be restored.
This also causes `:edit`/reload syntax `directoryDirectory` groups to
not be reapplied.
Solution:
After `BufReadCmd` handles a read, trigger `FileType` for the existing
`filetype` if no `FileType` event fired during the read.
Problem:
Continue separators normalization, and try to keep it at the
nvim <-> external boundary, e.g., `fn.xxx`, `api.xxx`, `:xxx`
Solution:
some key changes
- normalize `$HOME-windows`
- normalize entry points of changing directory
- `nvim_set_current_dir()`, `chdir()`
- normalize the named pipe
- `--listen` arg, `--server` arg, `:restart`
- `serverstart()`, `sockconnect()`, `serverstop()`
- make `expand()` respect 'shellslash' again
- clean up `did_set_shellslash`
- replace `forward_slash` with `TO_SLASH`
- remove obsolete `TMP_PATHSEPSTR`
- remove `slash_adjust` in `do_autocmd_dirchanged`?
- make `fnamemodify()` always return `/` (except when substituting
separators via `:s`, `:gs` ?)
Note:
- these funcs still apply `slash_adjust` on return, as before:
`:pwd`, `chdir()`, `exepath()`, `getcwd()`
- these funcs alwarys return `/`, unlike before the normalization PRs
- `getcompletion()`, `finddir()`, `findfile()`
Also
- clean up code, comments, formatting and tests
- move `TO_SLASH` from `f_chdir` to `changedir_func`
- move `TO_SLASH` from `f_bufadd` to `buflist_new`

Problem:
Malformed server responses with `null` (vim.NIL) values, do not show
clear error messages.
Solution:
Assert two known, specific cases, to avoid user confusion.
Problem:
`vim.filetype.match()` needs a cheap way to recognize directory buffers
without doing filesystem stat work.
Solution:
Ensure full buffer names for directories end in a trailing slash. Now
directory buffers can proceed through the normal 'filetype' path.
Note side-effects: session and ShaDa buffer-list restore behavior must
be compatible, so those + corresponding tests must be updated.
Problem: when an LS client detaches from the buffer, only pull diagnostics
are cleared via capability framework. Push diagnostics remain stuck even
when client stops/restarts.
Solution: clear push diagnostics on client detach.
ref #33864
When a server supports both document and workspace pull diagnostics,
`on_refresh` only dispatched a `workspace/diagnostic` request. The
workspace response handler skips buffers with `pull_kind == "document"`
(i.e. all buffers opened by the user), so their diagnostics went stale
until the next `didChange` or `didOpen` event.
Change `on_refresh` to always refresh document-pull buffers via
`textDocument/diagnostic`, regardless of whether the server also
supports workspace diagnostics. This ensures that opened buffers
see updated diagnostics (e.g. after a save triggers an external
tool like PHPStan) without requiring the user to re-enter insert
mode.
Problem: The codelens LSP module was using its own raw buffer events and
its own debounce mechanism for refreshing code lens in attached buffers.
Solution: Switch the module to using the LspNotify autocmd events.
LspNotify fires just after document versions are synced with the server
and provides a built in debounce mechanism for changes.
Additionally, this fixes some bugs with the previous implementation:
1. The workspace/codeLens/refresh handler re-requested codelens for all
buffers but when the response came back, it forced an extra redraw
after clearing the work the handler had just done.
2. Document synchronization was reworked to be more resilient to
multiple clients providing codelens for a single buffer. The latest
document version is now separately tracked per client (and per
client's lenses per row) instead of for the buffer as a whole. This
allows the on_win() function to properly redraw all codelens even
when different clients' responses for a particular document version
come back at different times.
Problem:
Inlay hints used separate global and per-buffer bufstates tables and
bespoke global autocmds for managing the inlay hint state across buffers
and clients, duplicating the lifecycle logic already provided by the
Capability framework. This caused inconsistencies in how client state
was handled and inlay hint state lifecycle was managed compared to other
LSP features.
Solution:
Replace the ad-hoc bufstate tracking and global autocmds in
vim.lsp.inlay_hint with a proper InlayHint subclass of Capability.
This also refactors the way inlay hint state is managed and fixes bugs I
found while doing this:
1. For each line with inlay hints, the list of the hints along with
whether they have been applied is stored in a current result on the
client state. This allows the on_win decorator to clear all inlay
hints for an old document version once, and then re-add the new
version's hints line-by-line as they are drawn to the screen,
modeling the semantic tokens module.
2. It fixes problems with mixing results from multiple clients attached
to the buffer by fully moving each client's state to its own table.
Previously, only the most recent document version used to populate a
line's inlay hints was stored, but there was no distinction for which
client the hints may have come from. (Fixes#36318)
3. It fixes the workspace/inlayHint/refresh server->client notification
behavior. Previously it would only re-request inlay hints for buffers
currently displayed in a window but would not invalidate them in
non-displayed buffers (or provide any mechanism for those buffers to
re-request at a later time). Model semantic token module here again
by invalidating all buffers, and adding a BufWinEnter autocmd to
refresh hints.
4. Add a mechanism to cancel in-flight requests if a new request for a
newer document version is made before the last one returned
5. Handle stale results by simply dropping them.
Problem:
`vim.lsp.buf.format()` accepts ranges using nvim indexing, where an
end column of -1 means end of line. LSP ranges cannot use that,
which is confusing for things like range formatting.
Solution:
Resolve -1 end columns to the line length before converting the range to
LSP positions.
Problem:
When buffers are by default `nomodifiable`, such as when Nvim starts with
`-M`, the health buffer cannot be updated.
Solution:
Always set `modifiable` before modifying the buffer.
Problem:
The dir.lua "-" mapping cannot be easily overridden (because of autocmd
ordering).
Solution:
- Move it to defaults.lua.
- Also to be extra polite: fall back to builtin `-` motion if the user
disabled the `dir.lua` plugin.
Problem: due to totally async install/update/checkout there is no
guaranteed order of `PackChanged{Pre,}` events across different
plugins. This might lead to conflicts when callback for some "main"
plugin relies on features from "dependency" plugin: i.e. callback for
"main" plugin can trigger before installing/updating "dependency"
plugin. The installation order can be enforced by separate
vim.pack.add() calls, but update/checkout can not.
Solution: Trigger events in bulk independently of async execution:
- `PackChangedPre` before any action for all input plugins in order
they are supplied. It will also trigger even if an action will fail.
- `PackChanged` after all actions finished for all sucessfully
affected plugins in order they are supplied.
This also comes with a couple of side effect changes:
- `PackChangedPre kind=delete` is now also triggered even if the
delete won't be done. This makes it more aligned with `kind=install`
and `kind=update`.
- Force update (`:packupdate!`) and "udpate LSP action" now do two
async steps: download/compute updates and apply them. This also
results in two progress reports.
This is mostly a by-product of the implementation (there has to be
a pre-computation of target revision for all plugins before doing
`PackChangedPre` in bulk before possibly applying an update), but I
kind of like it more this way as it is more explicit of what's going
on. If absolutely not acceptable, there might be some hacks to
mitigate it at least in code action, but I'd keep it like this.
Problem:
dir.lua leaves previously-navigated directory buffers around.
This is fine by default, but users need a simple way to opt out.
Solution:
1. Respect `set hidden` (via `'bufhidden'`) as one way to make
previously-navigated dir buffers from showing up.
2. Document a one-liner to hide these buffers
Problem: plugin/shada.lua does not respect the `+` flag of 'cpoptions'
when writing a *.shada buffer into a different file.
Solution: Check the presence of `+` in 'cpoptions' and whether the
buffer is written to a different file in BufWriteCmd for
*.shada before resetting the 'modified' option of the buffer.
This little defect appeared after plugin/shada.vim was rewritten into
Lua in #34725.
Problem:
Diagnostic tracking used a separate bufstates table and manual
LspDetach/LspNotify autocmd management via _enable()/_refresh(),
duplicating the lifecycle logic already provided by the Capability
framework. This caused inconsistencies in how client attach/detach and
buffer teardown were handled compared to other LSP features.
Solution:
Replace the ad-hoc bufstate tracking and _enable/_refresh pattern in
vim.lsp.diagnostic with a proper Diagnostics subclass of Capability.
This cleans up a few random places in the main lsp module and client
module that were poking the diagnostics. It also fixes some pre-existing
bugs and inconsistencies that were discovered:
- Refresh diagnostics immediately on attach instead of lazily by the
first didOpen/didChange notification
- Fix Capability.active lookup in M.enable() to key by it_bufnr instead
of the filter bufnr
- Set lsp defaults before calling the _text_document_did_open_handler in
Client:on_attach() so defaults are there before any lsp notification
occurs
- Log (and return early) on any error from a diagnostic request result
instead of only returning early for server cancelled errors
Problem:
cmd given as string[] always starts using Nvim's CWD, which is arbitrary.
Solution:
If cmd_cwd is not given, use root_dir as CWD.
BREAKING CHANGE: LSP commands given as string arrays now use `root_dir` as
the process working directory when `cmd_cwd` is unset.

Problem:
`:edit <dir>` and `nvim <dir>` currently rely on netrw to show local directory
contents.
Solution:
- Provide `filetype=directory`.
- Introduce dir.lua, a small plugin that provides directory listing, opening
items, parent navigation, and refresh.
- `netrw` remains available for `:Explore`, remote paths, archives, and file
operations. To continue

Some servers register `workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles` watchers for URI
schemes that cannot be watched locally. Skipping the unsupported glob
and keep the rest of the registration batch active.
Problem: LspNotify autocmds were not being triggered for didChange
requests when being used during undo/redo (and possibly other) actions.
autocmds are blocked when calling on_lines() callbacks while doing the
undo/redo action.
Solution: Defer firing the autocmd until after the action is complete.
This is closer to what existed before, but now there's a check in the
deferred function to only fire the autocmd if the client is still
active and the buffer is still attached, if applicable.
