Problem: #40731 may still crash if close_buffer autocmds reinsert the float's
grid. Plus removing the grid (and posting win_close) is unneeded if
win_close_othertab refuses to close the window later, which is possible.
Solution: do the stuff before freeing the window, like win_close.
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: Closing a floating window from a non-current tab frees its grid
without removing it from the compositor's `layers` table, so the next
`ui_comp_put_grid()` walks a dangling pointer (UAF).
Solution: Call `ui_comp_remove_grid()` (and `ui_call_win_close()` for
multigrid UIs) before `win_free_mem()`, matching `win_close()` since
PR #21551.
Problem:
- No UI for listing extmarks.
- `:marks` doesn't support cmdline-completion.
Solution:
- Add completion and extmarks support to `:marks`.
- Update `get_buf_local_marks` to include the ":" (prompt-buffer) mark.
Problem:
This functions are most likely never used in the wild.
- They are redundant with `nvim_get_context` + `nvim_load_context`.
- The "context" concept was never fully developed and hasn't gained
traction.
Solution:
Drop these vimscript aliases, they are just extra cruft.
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:
Insert-mode globals are scattered.
Solution:
Group them into one struct. Besides improving readability and
discoverability, this greatly helps with save/restore of an insert-mode
session.
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: When a split window is created from the init script using nvim_open_win()
with enter=false, the current window focus is not preserved. The cursor
incorrectly moves into the newly created split during startup.
Solution: Save curwin before the iteration loop in create_windows(), and
restore it after the loop. also update edit_buffers() to use curwin instead
of firstwin.
Problem:
- `edit.c` is an unnecessarily misleading and less-discoverable name
than `insert.c`.
- Numerous insert-mode related things are named with a `ins_` prefix.
- There is already a `insexpand.c` module...
Solution:
Rename `edit.c` => `insert.c`.

Problem:
`getchar.c` is a quirky name and doesn't align with our existing
`os/input.c` and `tui/input.c` modules, which encompass the same topic
at different layers.
Solution:
Rename `getchar.c` => `input.c` for discoverability.
Introduce `dialog.c` for functionality related to showing confirm
prompts, dialogs, etc.
Like `v:echospace`, `sc_col` was used in many places to avoid disruptive
"Press ENTER" prompts. Since those are no longer a problem with ui2, the
complexity of keeping these variables up-to-date and maintaining bespoke
truncation code at the message producers is no longer justified.
Unfortunately, some messages still need to be kept under 1 line to avoid
glitches.
`ru_wid`, `ru_col`, and `sc_col` are now no longer used when ui2 is
enabled, except `ru_col` in the C implementation of the default ruler,
which will be replaced by a default expression.
The purpose of `v:echospace` was to avoid disruptive "Press ENTER"
prompts. Since those are no longer a problem with ui2, the complexity
of maintaining it up-to-date is no longer justified.
- with today's screens, the arbitrary 50 cells limit is no longer as
ample as a few decades ago
- minwid is effectively constrained by the output buffer size anyway, so
accidentally setting huge numbers introduces no noticeable lag
- restores some backwards compatibility to ui2 for the edge-case where
the ruler width was set to a number > 50 with the item group syntax
Problem: before ui2, the ruler in the last line had a one cell safety
margin on the right because writing in the last column of the last line
"scrolls the screen up on some terminals," according to code comments.
When the ruler is included in the statusline, it aligns on the left with
the normal ruler, but goes all the way to the screen edge on the right,
and is therefore one cell longer.
Since ui2 doesn't have that padding cell, they don't align anymore.
Also, in the future, when the C implementation of the ruler will be
replaced with a default expression that will be included in the default
statusline (currently `%-14.(%l,%c%V%) %P`), the width will naturally be
the same in both places, and the unit tests will need adapting anyway.
Solution: when ui2 is active, increase the ruler width by 1.
BREAKING CHANGE: the default ruler in ui2 is now 1 cell wider.
ref https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/40247
Problem: ui2's ruler is no longer of fixed width, and the internal width
variable `ru_wid` now acts as an arbitrary maximum, which is unnecessary
because the same can now be achieved transparently with an item group.
Furthermore, the old way of setting `ru_wid` with an overloaded subset
of the item group syntax leads to a number of inconsistencies. In
particular, when the configured ruler expression is reused for including
the ruler into the statusline, where the item group syntax is
interpreted in the usual way. The fact that this width is set in the
`minwid` position is more confusing now that it is a de-facto maximum.
Solution: for ui2, constrain the ruler only by half the screen width,
which previously was an additional limit relevant on small screens.
Skip the special-case treatment of the ruler's leading item group spec,
process it like a normal item group.
Example: the current fallback ruler expression in the default statusline
now actually works for `rulerformat` itself:
set rulerformat=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P
because the result can naturally expand to 18 cells instead of being
truncated to the default 17 cells, and removing the period after
`minwid` doesn't change the result, whereas before, it would unhelpfully
lead to setting the fixed ruler width to 14 cells.
BREAKING CHANGE: if the user used to set the ruler's fixed width, it
will now be treated as minimum instead of a maximum width, which in
practice increases backwards-compatibility with ui1 and vim. The main
remaining difference is that item groups are right-aligned by default,
but backwards-compatibility can be achieved by setting a negative
`minwid`, which ui1 and vim ignore. To restore the previous fixed width,
specify `maxwid` as well, but this does not work in ui1 and vim.
If `rulerformat` contains a `%=` without enclosing item group, it will
now expand to fill half the screen width. But in that case, it will
already spread out similarly in the new expression-based statusline, so
consistency of the ruler in both positions is increased.
To simulate the previous default behaviour, wrap it in `%-17.17(...%)`.
For best compatibility and reuse with vim, leave out `maxwid` and make
`minwid` negative, e.g. `%-20(...%)`.

Problem: nvim_cmd() accepts number/boolean in args and converts them
to strings, but the keyset declares ArrayOf(String).
Solution: use ArrayOf(Union(Integer, String, Boolean)) and wrap union
types in parens when generating array annotations.
Problem:
Changing global 'winbar' only updates window layout state in the current
tabpage. This means existing hidden tabs can keep stale winbar height.
Solution:
Recompute winbar state for all tabpages on global `'winbar'` changes.
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.
unify context-switching logic.
1. `prevwin` is now restored for all targets (was buf-only).
- add a `nvim_win_call` test.
2. The buf-found "restore the shown buffer" dance no longer depends on
the origin window: it runs even if the callback closed the origin.
Problem:
A `--listen` path longer than the system socket path limit (~104 bytes on
macOS, 108 on Linux) is silently truncated by `uv_pipe_bind()`. Nvim either
serves a socket at a different path than `v:servername` reports, or fails with
an error that blames the full untruncated path (confusing):
nvim: Failed to --listen: address already in use: "<full path>"
Steps to reproduce:
$ nvim --listen /var/folders/g7/9y_ydbnj2fs_fvp8xf44p8gc0000gn/T//nvim/-Users-rpatterson-Projects-src-github.com-neovide-neovide --embed -p

Solution:
Bind with `uv_pipe_bind2()` and `UV_PIPE_NO_TRUNCATE` (libuv 1.46+), so
a too-long path fails up front with the actual reason:
nvim: Failed to --listen: invalid argument: "<full path>"
Problem:
`magic` was owned by `CmdParseInfo`, but command handlers
need it at execution time via `exarg_T`.
Solution:
Move `magic` into `exarg_T`, and initialize it in `parse_cmdline()`.
Problem: The default 'packlockfile' value doesn't respect $NVIM_APPNAME.
Solution: Use more direct way of setting the default value, following
the example of other options with a similar behavior.
