- e415fae42e Windows arm64 packages #35345
Problem: In visual mode, g<End> does not move to the last non-blank
character when the end of a line is on the same line as the
cursor (after v9.0.1753)
Solution: Move the cursor back by one position if it lands after the
line (varsidry)
fixes: vim/vim#18657closes: vim/vim#18658adc85151f3
(cherry picked from commit b92b95e2c2)
**Problem:**
`vim.filetype.match({ filename = 'a.sh' })` returns `nil` because
an invalid buffer ID is passed to `vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines()`.
For filetypes like `csh`, `txt`, or any other extensions that call
`_getlines()` or `_getline()` to detect their filetypes, the same
issue occurs.
When only the `filename` argument is passed, an error is raised
inside a `pcall()` that wraps the filetype detection function,
causing it to return no value without showing any error message.
**Solution:**
Validate the `bufnr` value in `_getlines()` and `_getline()`.
(cherry picked from commit 095b9f98f3)
Problem: Wrong row in TermRequest with full scrollback.
Solution: Subtract by the number of lines deleted from scrollback.
(cherry picked from commit 67832710a5)
This warning doesn't really make sense, since the `enable()` call is
meant to be run before the `lsp.config` calls. It will be logged many
times (once for each enabled LSP) at startup.
This is especially annoying because calling `enable()` after
configuration causes the first opened buffer not to have its filetype
set in some situations. This is a separate bug which really needs to be
fixed, and makes this superfluous logging more likely.
(cherry picked from commit 3c4acc0f1a)
Problem:
If a client doesn't have a config then an error may be thrown.
Probably caused by: 2f78ff816b
Lua callback: …/lsp.lua:442: attempt to index local 'config' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
…/lsp.lua:442: in function 'can_start'
…/lsp.lua:479: in function 'lsp_enable_callback'
…/lsp.lua:566: in function <…/lsp.lua:565>
Solution:
Not all clients necessarily have configs.
- Handle `config=nil` in `can_start`.
- If user "enables" an invalid name that happens to match a *client*
name, don't auto-detach the client.
(cherry picked from commit bf4710d8c3)

Problem: :trust is executed even when inside false condition.
Solution: Make skip_cmd() return true for CMD_trust, as ex_trust() does
not handle eap->skip itself.
(cherry picked from commit 2f35221774)
The current description (especially the "unlimited width" part) is
inaccurate in several ways:
- The size of virtual text can depend on window width. In particular,
the size of "above" virtual text can be equal to window width.
- A double-width character that doesn't fit adds 1 to the virtual column
of the following characters.
- The size of 'showbreak' and 'breakindent' is counted.

(cherry picked from commit 43f7434bd5)
Problem: 'nowrap' in a modeline may hide malicious code.
Solution: Forcibly use '>' as 'listchars' "extends" if 'nowrap' was set
from a modeline (zeertzjq).
Manual `:setlocal nowrap` disables this behavior. There is a separate
problem with `:set nowrap` that also applies to some other options.

Cherry-pick some test_modeline.vim changes from patches 9.0.{0363,0626}.
(cherry picked from commit 0fa0717d4e)
Problem:
pyenv-virtualenv sets a different path for VIRTUAL_ENV than the path to the
python binary it provides, but these paths both symlink to the same file, so
there should be no disparity. The python health-check reports an error, since it
only checks if these paths are equal, not where they point to (resolve to).
Solution:
- Resolve the python symlinks before checking if they are equal.
- Deduplicate some code.
(cherry picked from commit cfe10b4014)
Problem:
Scripts named with 'python-…' prefix may not be valid python bins. If
such a script is found in a venv, the Python healthcheck fails hard.
.venv/python-argcomplete-check-easy-install-script
.venv/bin/python3.13
.venv/bin/python
Solution:
- Discard known false-positives such as `python-argcomplete*`.
- Call `health.warn()` instead of `assert()` in `python_exepath()`.

(cherry picked from commit 6152bcf42e)
Problem:
If there are 2 language servers with different trigger chars (`-` and
`>`), and a keymap inputs both simultaneously (`->`), then `>` doesn't
trigger. We get completion items from server1 only.
This happens because the `completion_timer` for the `-` trigger is still
pending.
Solution:
If the next character arrived enough quickly (< 25 ms), replace the
existing deferred autotrigger with a new one that matches this later
character.
(cherry picked from commit e69b81ad94)
This fixes a regression from #33796.
I tried for several hours and cannot write a working test for this, but
this does fix the following warning in tests run with ASAN or TSAN:
-------- Running tests from test/functional/plugin/lsp_spec.lua
RUN T4667 LSP server_name specified start_client(), stop_client(): 114.00 ms OK
RUN T4668 LSP server_name specified stop_client() also works on client objects: 97.00 ms OK
RUN T4669 LSP server_name specified does not reuse an already-stopping client #33616: 31.00 ms OK
nvim took 2022 milliseconds to exit after last test
This indicates a likely problem with the test even if it passed!
(cherry picked from commit 4ef5624729)
Problem:
`gx` does not work on tags in help buffers to open the documentation of that tag in the browser.
Solution:
Get the `optionlink`, `taglink` and `tag` TS nodes and set extmark "url" property.
`gx` then discovers the extmark "url" and opens it.

- If tick == 0 at the last chunk, the first :echo will print an empty
string, which isn't really helpful, and may cause :redraw to move
cursor to the message area for 'showmode'.
- If tick > 0 at the last chunk, there'll be another :echo that prints
an empty string immediately after the :redraw.
(cherry picked from commit a5d6932686)
This fixes the following warning in tests with ASAN or TSAN:
-------- Running tests from test/functional/lua/watch_spec.lua
RUN T4253 vim._watch watch() ignores nonexistent paths: 29.00 ms OK
nvim took 2006 milliseconds to exit after last test
This indicates a likely problem with the test even if it passed!
Problem:
LSP logs show misleading "cannot start" messages when editing a filetype
NOT listed in the `config.filetypes` field.
[ERROR][2025-09-13 18:55:56] …/runtime//lua/vim/lsp/log.lua:151
"cannot start cssls due to config error: …/runtime//lua/vim/lsp.lua:423:
cmd: expected expected function or table with executable command,
got table: 0x0104701b18. Info: vscode-css-language-server is not executable"
Solution:
- `can_start`: check `config.filetypes` before checking the rest of the
config.

(cherry picked from commit f311c96973)
tmux-direct is functionally the same as tmux-256color, except it
directly reports 24-bit color and how to set them (setaf/setab)
via ncurses 6.x's extended terminfo format.
(cherry picked from commit a33284c2c0)
Problem: many FileType autocommands assume curbuf is the same as the target
buffer; this can cause &syntax to be restored for the wrong buffer in some cases
when TSHighlighter:destroy is called.
Solution: run nvim_exec_autocmds in the context of the target buffer via
nvim_buf_call.
(cherry picked from commit 3ec63cdab8)
Problem:
Detection of the pynvim module is currently done by finding the first
Python interpreter in the `PATH` and checking if it can import pynvim.
This has several problems:
- Activation of an unrelated Python virtual environment will break
automatic detection, unless pynvim is also installed in that
environment.
- Installing pynvim to the expected location is difficult. User
installation into the system-wide or user-wide Python site area is now
deprecated. On Ubuntu 24.04 with Python 3.12, for example, the
command `pip install --user pynvim` now fails with the error message
`error: externally-managed-environment`.
- Users may create a dedicated virtual environment in which to install
pynvim, but Nvim won't detect it; instead, they must either activate
it before launching Nvim (which interferes with the user of other
virtual environments) or else hard-code the variable
`g:python3_host_prog` in their `init.vim` to the path of the correct
Python interpreter. Neither option is desirable.
Solution:
Expose pynvim's Python interpreter on the `PATH` under the
name `pynvim-python`. Typical user-flow:
1. User installs either uv or pipx.
2. User installs pynvim via:
```
uv tool install --upgrade pynvim
# Or:
pipx install --upgrade pynvim
```
With corresponding changes in pynvim https://github.com/neovim/pynvim/issues/593
the above user-flow is all that's needed for Nvim to detect the
installed location of pynvim, even if an unrelated Python virtual
environments is activated. It uses standard Python tooling to automate
the necessary creation of a Python virtual environment for pyenv and the
publication of `pynvim-python` to a directory on `PATH`.
(cherry picked from commit 5f8d4a248a)
Don't print ABI version of duplicated parsers that are later in the
runtime path (see [#35326]).
Change the sorting from `name > path` to `name > rtpath_index`, this
ensures the first (loaded) parser is first in the list and any
subsequent parsers can be considered "not loaded".
This is fuzzy at best since `vim.treesitter.language.add` can take a
path to a parser and change the load order.
The correct solution is for `vim.treesitter.language.inspect` to return
the parser path so we can compare against it and/or for it to also be
able to take a path to a parser so we can inspect it without loading it
first.

- Add delimiter between function signature and documentation, matching hover formatting
- Show title only if there are multiple clients or multiple signatures
- Avoid duplicating the title inside the window if it's already shown in the border
(cherry picked from commit d26db4bfbf)
Problem: make_floating_popup_options only shows when opts.border is explicitly set, ignoring global winborder setting
Solution: check both opts.border and vim.o.winborder when determining whether to show title
(cherry picked from commit 5b1b46ea5a)
Avoid duplicate text when jumping back to a choice node. Set cursor to
end of tabstop range and prioritize current choice in completion items.
