Problem:
The parent commit added a new vim.get_visual_selection() function to
improve visual star. But that is redundant with vim.region(). Any
current limitations of vim.region() should be fixed instead of adding
a new function.
Solution:
Delete vim.get_visual_selection().
Use vim.region() to get the visual selection.
TODO: fails with visual "block" selections.
Problem:
Visual mode "*", "#" mappings don't work on text with "/", "\", "?", and
newlines.
Solution:
Get the visual selection and escape it as a search pattern.
Add functions vim.get_visual_selection and _search_for_visual_selection.
Fix#21676
Enforce consistent terminology (defined in
`gen_help_html.lua:spell_dict`) for common misspellings.
This does not spellcheck English in general (perhaps a future TODO,
though it may be noisy).
- quickstart
- mark lsp.txt as `new_layout`
- remove lsp-handler documentation for notifications: they don't have
handlers because they don't have server responses.

- docs: mention --luadev-mod to run with lua runtime files
When changing a lua file in the ./runtime folder, a new contributor
might expect changes to be applied to the built Neovim binary.
The options 'path', 'include', and 'define' all use C-specific default
values. This may have made sense a long time ago when Vim was mostly
used just for writing C, but this is no longer the case, and we have
ample support for filetype specific configuration. Make the default
values of these options empty and move the C-specific values into a
filetype plugin where they belong.

Problem:
Completion messages such as "scanning tags" are noisy and generally not
useful on most systems. Most users probably aren't aware that this is
configurable.
Solution:
Set `shortmess+=C`.
Vimball is an outdated feature that is rarely used these days. It is not
a maintenance burden on its own, but it is nonetheless dead weight and
something we'd need to tell users to ignore when they inevitably ask
what it is.
See: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/21369#issuecomment-1347615173
existing behavior of
:=
and
:[range]=
are unchanged. `|` is still allowed with this usage.
However,
:=p
and similar are changed in a way which could be construed as a breaking
change. Allowing |ex-flags| for := in the first place was a mistake as
any form of := DOES NOT MOVE THE CURSOR. So it would print one line number
and then print a completely different line contents after that.
we cannot remove 'paste'. It is very common in plugins and configs.
'pastetoggle' can and should be removed though, it's a total waste of everyone's time because it generates bug reports and doesn't work well, and is useless because bracketed-paste works better.
Problem:
If vim_tempdir mysteriously goes missing (typically by "antivirus" on
Windows), any plugins using tempname() will be broken for the rest of
the session. #1432#9833https://groups.google.com/g/vim_use/c/ef55jNm5czI
Steps:
mkdir foo
TMPDIR=./foo nvim
:echo tempname()
!rm -r foo
:echo tempname()
tempname() still uses the foo path even though it was deleted.
Solution:
- Don't assume that vim_tempdir exists.
- If it goes missing once, retry vim_mktempdir and log (silently) an error.
- If it goes missing again, retry vim_mktempdir and show an error.
Rejected in Vim for performance reasons:

But, logging shows that `vim_gettempdir` is not called frequently.

This feature has long been obsolete. The 'keymap' option can be used
to support language keymaps, including hebrew and hebrewp (phonetic
mapping). There is no need to keep the old c code with hardcoded
keymaps for some languages.
Problem:
- Docs HTML: "foo ~" headings (column_heading) are not aligned with
their table columns/contents because the leading whitespace is not
emitted.
- taglinks starting with hyphen like |-x| were not recognized.
- keycodes like `<foo>` and `CTRL-x` were not recognized.
- ToC is not scrollable.
Solution:
- Add ws() to the column_heading case.
- Update help parser to latest version
- supports `keycode`
- fixes for taglink, argument
- Update .toc CSS. https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/297
fix https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/297
The old behaviour (e.g. via `set display-=msgsep`) will not be available.
Assuming that messages always are being drawn on msg_grid
(or not drawn at all, and forwarded to `ext_messages` enabled UI)
will allows some simplifcations and enhancements moving forward.
Problem:
Cannot opt-out of "WARNING: The file has been changed since reading
it!!!", even with ":write!".
Solution:
Change ":write!" to skip the warning.
closes#7270
Previously if a highlight group with a name outside the regexp
[a-zA-Z0-9_] was defined, Nvim would emit an "invalid character"
warning message. This was annoying for Lua scripts, as it was very hard
to debug what line of code was triggering this message since it didn't
produce a stack trace.
This has now been promoted to an error with the code E5248.
Additionally the ASCII character period ('.') and at-sign ('@') have
been added to the allowed list of characters of a highlight group name
to support the application of defining hierarchical highlight groups,
e.g. 'TS.keyword'.

Problem: 'wildmenu' only shows few matches.
Solution: Add the "pum" option: use a popup menu to show the matches.

Omit p_wmnu check in cmdline_pum_active() as it can cause problems.
Omit vim_strchr() flags as that isn't really better than bitmasks.
Omit key translations and document it in vim_diff.txt.
Let :wincmd command accept a count like what its documentation suggests.
Previously it could only accept a range, which led to some ambiguity on
which attribute should be used when executing :wincmd using nvim_cmd.
