Problem:
on_attach() calls refresh(), but there is no guarantee the attached
buffer is the current buffer. This can make linked editing request
handling assume the wrong window.
Solution:
Call refresh() only if the current buffer is attached. This keeps the
initial highlighting behavior while avoiding making incorrect request.
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 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:
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:
`vim.diagnostic.handlers.underline.show` throws `E565: Index out of bounds` when
it tries to underline a diagnostic whose `lnum` is past the end of the buffer.
This happens with stale diagnostics set on an unloaded buffer (e.g. via
`bufadd()`) that are drawn only after the buffer is loaded: by then the file on
disk can be shorter than the `lnum` the diagnostic carried. File pickers
(snacks.nvim) that open files via `bufadd` + `:buffer` hit this whenever an LSP
server has already emitted diagnostics for that URI.
Solution:
Skip diagnostics with an out-of-range `lnum` in the underline handler.
Other handlers `M.virtual_text.show()`, `M.signs.show()`, have a similar condition.
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:
1. Can't get individual parts of a key-chord separately: modifiers, key.
2. Can't separate a key-combo into individual key-chords.
Solution:
Enhance `vim.keycode()` to optionally return a structured parse result
as a list of key-chords:
- `key_raw` the key-chord (problem 2)
- `mod` the modifiers of `key_raw` (problem 1)
- `key_orig` the key part of the key-chord, only here if differing from `key`
(this doesn't solve any of the above mentioned problems, but it may provide
useful and it's (in terms of code) free)
- `key` a normalized version of `key_orig` (solving problem 1), example(the
first is `key_orig` and second is `key`): `lt` and `<`, `Bar` and `|` (in
`<C-Bar>`)
Problem: filetype: hip files are not recognized
Solution: Detect *.hip files as hip filetype, include filetype, syntax
and indent plugins, update makemenu.vim and synmenu.vim (Young)
Round out HIP (Heterogeneous-compute Interface for Portability) support
to mirror the existing CUDA files:
- autoload/dist/ft.vim: detect the ".hip" extension as filetype "hip"
- ftplugin/hip.vim: behave like C++ by sourcing ftplugin/cpp.vim
- indent/hip.vim: use cindent, like indent/cuda.vim
- makemenu.vim / synmenu.vim: add a Syntax menu entry
The syntax/hip.vim file already sources syntax/cpp.vim and adds the
HIP-specific keywords, matching syntax/cuda.vim.

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:
`nvim__ui_detach` was added in 85e0559d46 in order to implement
`detach_others` from Lua. Using Lua in this case is doing more harm than
good.
Solution:
Extract `ui_detach_channel`, which also allows it to be used for the
"self detach" path from `ex_detach`.
Bonus: the old MSWIN path always called `os_swap_to_hidden_console()`;
now `ui_detach_channel` only does so for a stdio channel. For the common
stdio TUI this is identical; for a socket UI it's more correct (no
parent console to swap).
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: Every LSP capability that sends a request on a document change
to update its state was using its own buffer-local autocmd to do so.
That means there is a separate autocmd per buffer per active
capability/feature, and the actual code inside the autocmd callback was
virtually identical. The same problem occurred for capabilities that had
components to draw on the screen that had their own decoration providers.
Solution: Introduce a central `LspNotify` autocmd and decoration
provider in the capability module itself. New base class methods
`on_close` and `on_change` that take a client_id have been provided, for
`didClose` and `didOpen`/`didChange` notifications respectively. New
base class method `on_win` that takes topline and botline has been
provided to add extmarks or perform other work when lines of a buffer
are being drawn.
The autocmd callback loops through each active capability instance for
the buffer and calls a corresponding method with the triggering
client_id if it is currently attached to the buffer that triggered the
autocmd. The decoration provider just calls on_win for all active
capabilities on the buffer.
This slightly tweaks folding range to make use of these new client-id
specific callbacks.
Problem
The current list of properties for inlay hint resolve support includes a
non-existent "location". This field should be "label.location" according
to the specification. Tooltips and commands for inlay hint "parts"
aren't advertised as being resolvable.
Solution
Remove "location" and add "label.location", "label.tooltip", and
"label.command".
Closes#40740
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:
After 25439dad7e, `opts` is optional, but not params that follow it.
Solution:
- Update `gen_api_dispatch.lua`, docs, tests.
- Enhance the `nvim_get_api_info()` api-metadata to include a boolean
flag indicating whether a parameter is optional:
```
[type, name, optional]
```
Note: Currently, optional params are assumed to be Dict/Array. Since we
don't yet have any use-cases of optional params following `opts`, the
build just checks this assumption and we can deal with it later if we
ever care to:
nvim_get_hl: optional param "foo" has type "Integer" but (currently)
we assume Dict/Array
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:
URI buffer names can end with a slash, but slash-ended directory
matching should not preempt URI filetype patterns.
Solution:
Do not use the slash shortcut for names with URI schemes, so those
continue through normal filetype matching.

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.
Problem: a long message is cropped to keep the ruler visible. But when
the message is repeated, it can be written over the ruler, while the
repetition indicator "(1)" is still placed just before the ruler, which
ends up somewhere inside the message.
Solution: currently, long messages are only cropped when setting the
'last' virttext. Make sure this happens after a repeated long message.
Problem: when the search count is displayed, the showcmd virt_text is
set to 11 empty spaces to ensure a consistent distance between search
count and ruler, or screen edge in case of noruler. But when the search
count is removed to make place for a message, the empty dummy showcmd
remains and unnecessarily erases part of the message.
Solution: properly remove showcmd together with search count.
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(...%)`.
fix https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/40247
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:
`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: No concise way to execute a callback with temporarily set
working directory. This might be useful when sourcing nested files to
allow them to assume that current working directory is their root
directory.
Solution: Add `cwd` context to `vim._with().`
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:
`vim.fs` does not provide a directory creation helper matching its
filesystem API shape.
Solution:
Add `vim.fs.mkdir()` as a thin wrapper around `vim.fn.mkdir()`, with
`parents` and `mode` options.
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.
