Problem: There is no way to do something on CTRL-Z.
Solution: Add VimSuspend and VimResume autocommand events. (closesvim/vim#7450)
100118c73a
----
Nvim implemented these events first and has enough tests.
test_suspend.vim relies on Vim 'terminal' feature.
Treat it as N/A even if all tests could be ported as Lua functional
screen/terminal tests.

To check for an existing HelpComplete function, exists('*HelpComplete')
should be used, as exists('HelpComplete') still returns 0 after sourcing
the ftplugin.

- Add a syntax file update to Neville Dempsey's long-serving version
- Add a new rudimentary ftplugin
- Add filetype detection
Changes to the syntax file include:
- improved prelude, number and symbol highlighting
- prelude highlighting tests
- updated boiler plate
Note that these runtime files currently target Algol 68 Genie employing
the default UPPER stropping regime. Support for GNU Algol 68 should
also be usable with the UPPER stropping regime, although somewhat less
complete. Full support for the SUPPER stropping regime in GNU Algol 68
is also planned.

Problem: With `vim.g.health = { style = 'float' }`, running
`:checkhealth` from a `:help` buffer placed the float in the
top-left corner instead of centered.
make_floating_popup_options() picks the NW/NE/SW/SE anchor
and the available height from cursor-relative metrics
(winline(), wincol(), winheight()). When the caller passes
relative='editor', those metrics are meaningless, so the
function could flip to an 'E' anchor and clamp the float
off-screen.
Solution: When relative='editor', treat the whole editor area as
available space (lines_above=0, lines_below=&lines,
wincol=0). This makes the NW anchor the natural choice and
keeps the float position stable regardless of where the
cursor is in the current window.

Problem:
Fields (key names) in classes, keysets, and quasi-keysets are ordered
randomly, which adds friction when reading docs.
Solution:
- Sort class fields and keysets when generating docs.
- Add a lint check for quasi-keysets (keysets defined as unstructured
markdown lists within a docstring).
Problem: tests: Test_backupskip() may read from $HOME
Solution: Set $HOME to an empty value, use --clean
(D Ben Knoble)
Even though we unset HOME, we can see via scriptnames that user files
are still sourced! One of my installed plugins warns when not compiled
with +python3, so this test has a "press Enter" prompt.
Use `--clean` like most other GetVimProg()'s do to fix it. Some tests
use `system()` instead, but that turns this test into a failure rather
than passing; I'm not sure why other tests don't suffer from this.
To prove to ourselves, we can use code like this:
diff --git i/src/testdir/test_options.vim w/src/testdir/test_options.vim
index a408e20e1..044364a54 100644

Here, that causes "foo" to include a bunch of files under ~/.vim. I'm
not sure why this happens, but lets paper over it for the test.
We can also tell that (orthogonal to --clean) setting HOME='' works too.
Let's do that in addition since unsetting HOME isn't quite enough.

Problem: The reviewer assignment workflow can run multiple times for
the same PR.
Solution: Ensure only the newest review-assignment run continues with
workflow concurrency.
Problem: There are many Git forges each with a different way of
constructing permanent links to like commits and tags.
Solution: Add a private utility function that computes these special
links on the best effort basis.
Problem: In `vim.pack.update()` confirmation buffer it might be useful
to be able to use `gx` (open link at cursor) when cursor is on
something like commit or tag.
Solution: Add `textDocument/documentLink` method support for the
in-process LSP. This may be used by LSP clients and makes `gx`
automatically work.
The shortcoming is that this requires tracking how to construct a URL
from source and commit/tag. Currently only GitHub hosted repositories
are supported.
Problem: Plugins may want to have a way to show more details about items
when using `vim.ui.select`. This is a fairly common problem that
prompts plugin authors to implement dedicated sources/pickers for
fuzzy picker plugins that are popular at the moment.
Solution: Document a way for `vim.ui.select` to provide preview:
- `vim.ui.select` users can provide `opts.preview_item` function that
creates/uses a buffer and its contents at certain position to show
more details about an item.
- `vim.ui.select` implementations may use `opts.preview_item` in the
way they see fit (like show the buffer in a separate/same window
interactively/on-demand or do nothing) if they have a way to show
more information about an item.
Problem:
Since `foldclose` is async, it must wait for the request to return before actually executing, at which point the original window may no longer be valid.
Solution:
Check whether the window is valid before actually performing `foldclose`.
Problem:
Cannot remove a `@conceal` highlight when defined in highlights.scm.
Solution:
Support a `@noconceal` highlight that works similarly to `@nospell` where it
overrides the conceal set on the range to remove it. Additionally, can
set the conceal metadata field to false for the same behavior.
Problem:
When ASAN detects an error in a child process, the process may be killed
by test teardown before ASAN finishes writing its log file. This results
in truncated logs with no stack trace.
Also, the sanitizer log content was only written to stdout (which the
test runner may not display) and not included in the test_assert error
message.
Solution:
- Poll (up to 2s) for the ASAN "SUMMARY" line before reading, so the
crashing process has time to finish writing.
- Include full log content in the test_assert error message, so it
appears in CI output regardless of stdout handling.
- Warn when the log appears truncated (no SUMMARY line found).
Problem: When Nvim exits while connecting to a socket it leads to
stack-buffer-overflow.
Solution: Associate the handle with the Stream and use the Stream's
internal_close_cb to update the "closed" status.
Problem:
The LSP client incorrectly checks for server capabilities when determining
support for self-mapped methods (e.g., 'shutdown'), which do not have
corresponding capabilities in the server's response. This leads to false
negatives when checking if such methods are supported.
This was handled correctly for dynamic registrations, but not for static.
Methods such as 'shutdown', do not have a related server capability and should
be assumed to be supported.
Solution:
Update the `supports_method` logic to always return true for self-mapped
methods.
Problem:
When running nvim on a remote machine over SSH, if there is high ping,
then bg detection may not complete in time. This results in a warning
every time nvim is started. #38648
Solution:
Restore 'ttyfast' option and allow it to control whether or not bg
detection is performed. Because this is during startup and before any
user config or commands, we use the environment variable
`NVIM_NOTTYFAST` to allow disabling `ttyfast` during initialization.
Problem:
Invalid `nvim_create_user_command` calls can leak the
`preview` callback reference after Neovim has taken ownership of it.
1. build with {a,l}san
2. run:
```sh
<path/to/nvim> --headless -u NONE --clean +'lua
for i = 1, 100 do
pcall(vim.api.nvim_create_user_command,
"some very epic stuff" .. i,
{}, -- NOTE: this is INVALID (not a function or string)
{ preview = function() end })
end
vim.cmd("qa!")
' +qa
```
3. see:
```
100 lua references were leaked!
```
Solution:
Clear `preview_luaref` in `err:`.
Problem: `nvim_set_keymap` leaks the `callback` `LuaRef` when the
LHS is too long.
Solution: Make `set_maparg_lhs_rhs` transfer `rhs_lua` to
`MapArguments` up front so the caller always owns the ref.
Problem:
On Windows, path separators may become inconsistent for various reasons,
which makes normalization quite painful.
Solution:
Normalize paths to `/` at the entry boundaries and always use it
internally, converting back only in rare cases where `\` is really
needed (e.g. cmd.exe/bat scripts?).
This is the first commit in a series of incremental steps.
Note:
* some funcs won't respect shellslash. e.g. `expand/fnamemodify`
* some funcs still respect shellslash, but will be updated in a follow
PR. e.g. `ex_pwd/f_chdir/f_getcwd`
* uv's built-in funcs always return `\`. e.g. `uv.cwd/uv.exepath`

Problem:
We should not use "\" (backslashes) except where absolutely required.
See references in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/37729
Solution:
There is no reason to use "\" slashes in the trust db, so don't.
