Problem: CTRL-X CTRL-R only completes individual words from registers,
making it difficult to insert complete register content.
Solution: Add consecutive CTRL-X CTRL-R support - first press completes
words, second press completes full register lines, similar to
CTRL-X CTRL-L and CTRL-X CTRL-P behavior (glepnir).

Problem: completion: cannot configure completion functions with
'complete'
Solution: add support for setting completion functions using the f and o
flag for 'complete' (Girish Palya)
This change adds two new values to the `'complete'` (`'cpt'`) option:
- `f` – invokes the function specified by the `'completefunc'` option
- `f{func}` – invokes a specific function `{func}` (can be a string or `Funcref`)
These new flags extend keyword completion behavior (e.g., via `<C-N>` /
`<C-P>`) by allowing function-based sources to participate in standard keyword
completion.
**Key behaviors:**
- Multiple `f{func}` values can be specified, and all will be called in order.
- Functions should follow the interface defined in `:help complete-functions`.
- When using `f{func}`, escaping is required for spaces (with `\`) and commas
(with `\\`) in `Funcref` names.
- If a function sets `'refresh'` to `'always'`, it will be re-invoked on every
change to the input text. Otherwise, Vim will attempt to reuse and filter
existing matches as the input changes, which matches the default behavior of
other completion sources.
- Matches are inserted at the keyword boundary for consistency with other completion methods.
- If finding matches is time-consuming, `complete_check()` can be used to
maintain responsiveness.
- Completion matches are gathered in the sequence defined by the `'cpt'`
option, preserving source priority.
This feature increases flexibility of standard completion mechanism and may
reduce the need for external completion plugins for many users.
**Examples:**
Complete matches from [LSP](https://github.com/yegappan/lsp) client. Notice the use of `refresh: always` and `function()`.
```vim
set cpt+=ffunction("g:LspCompletor"\\,\ [5]). # maxitems = 5
def! g:LspCompletor(maxitems: number, findstart: number, base: string): any
if findstart == 1
return g:LspOmniFunc(findstart, base)
endif
return {words: g:LspOmniFunc(findstart, base)->slice(0, maxitems), refresh: 'always'}
enddef
autocmd VimEnter * g:LspOptionsSet({ autoComplete: false, omniComplete: true })
```
Complete matches from `:iabbrev`.
```vim
set cpt+=fAbbrevCompletor
def! g:AbbrevCompletor(findstart: number, base: string): any
if findstart > 0
var prefix = getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1)->matchstr('\S\+$')
if prefix->empty()
return -2
endif
return col('.') - prefix->len() - 1
endif
var lines = execute('ia', 'silent!')
if lines =~? gettext('No abbreviation found')
return v:none # Suppresses warning message
endif
var items = []
for line in lines->split("\n")
var m = line->matchlist('\v^i\s+\zs(\S+)\s+(.*)$')
if m->len() > 2 && m[1]->stridx(base) == 0
items->add({ word: m[1], info: m[2], dup: 1 })
endif
endfor
return items->empty() ? v:none :
items->sort((v1, v2) => v1.word < v2.word ? -1 : v1.word ==# v2.word ? 0 : 1)
enddef
```
**Auto-completion:**
Vim's standard completion frequently checks for user input while searching for
new matches. It is responsive irrespective of file size. This makes it
well-suited for smooth auto-completion. You can try with above examples:
```vim
set cot=menuone,popup,noselect inf
autocmd TextChangedI * InsComplete()
def InsComplete()
if getcharstr(1) == '' && getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1) =~ '\k$'
SkipTextChangedIEvent()
feedkeys("\<c-n>", "n")
endif
enddef
inoremap <silent> <c-e> <c-r>=<SID>SkipTextChangedIEvent()<cr><c-e>
def SkipTextChangedIEvent(): string
# Suppress next event caused by <c-e> (or <c-n> when no matches found)
set eventignore+=TextChangedI
timer_start(1, (_) => {
set eventignore-=TextChangedI
})
return ''
enddef
```

Problem: not easily possible to complete from register content
Solution: add register-completion submode using i_CTRL-X_CTRL-R
(glepnir)
closes: vim/vim#173540546068aae
Problem: Currently, 'smartcase' is respected when completing keywords
using <C-N>, <C-P>, <C-X><C-N>, and <C-X><C-P>. However, when
a user continues typing and the completion menu is filtered
using cached matches, 'smartcase' is not applied. This leads
to poor-quality or irrelevant completion suggestions, as shown
in the example below.
Solution: When filtering cached completion items after typing additional
characters, apply case-sensitive comparison if 'smartcase' is
enabled and the typed pattern includes uppercase characters.
This ensures consistent and expected completion behavior.

Problem:
- Many other ftplugin have defined 'omnifunc', but the Lua one doesn't
define one, even though there is `vim.lua_omnifunc()`
- Users may want "stupid" completion to fix Lua config with
`nvim --clean` in case they breaks it
- Nvim doesn't port Lua foldexpr from Vim
Solution:
- Set 'omnifunc' to 'v:lua.vim.lua_omnifunc' in ftplugin/lua.lua
- Set 'foldexpr' to use treesitter
Problem:
"make lintdoc" is not validating vimdoc (:help) tags.
Solution:
- Call `lang_tree:parse()` to init the parser.
- Load netrw 🤢 explicitly, since it was moved to `pack/dist/opt/`.
- Fix invalid help tags.

- 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.
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: Get ml_get error when deleting a line in 'completefunc'. (Yegappan

Fix a mistake in the porting of patch 8.1.0098.
Cherry-pick Test_run_excmd_with_text_locked() from patch 8.2.0270.
Cherry-pick test_gf.vim changes from patch 8.2.0369.
Cherry-pick message change from later patches.
Neovim already removed `evim` (or any similar flags). The 'insertmode'
option is a weird remnant, so get rid of it.
The 'insertmode' option is replaced with a script that closely emulates
the option. This script is documented at :help 'insertmode'
This marks the following Vim patches as ported:
vim-patch:8.1.2333: with modifyOtherKeys CTRL-^ doesn't work
Problem: With modifyOtherKeys CTRL-^ doesn't work.
Solution: Handle the exception.

vim-patch:8.1.2350: other text for CTRL-V in Insert mode with modifyOtherKeys
Problem: Other text for CTRL-V in Insert mode with modifyOtherKeys.
Solution: Convert the Escape sequence back to key as if modifyOtherKeys is
not set, and use CTRL-SHIFT-V to get the Escape sequence itself.
