Problem:
Nvim does not have a core concept for indicating "progress" of
long-running tasks. The LspProgress event is specific to LSP.
Solution:
- `nvim_echo` can emit `kind="progress"` messages.
- Emits a `Progress` event.
- Includes new fields (id, status, percent) in the `msg_show` ui-event.
- The UI is expected to overwrite any message having the same id.
- Messages have a globally unique ID.
- `nvim_echo` returns the message ID.
- `nvim_echo(… {id=…})` updates existing messages.
Example:
local grp = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("Msg", {clear = true})
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('Progress', {
pattern={"term"},
group = grp,
callback = function(ev)
print(string.format('event fired: %s', vim.inspect(ev))..'\n')
end
})
-- require('vim._extui').enable({enable=true, msg={target='msg', timeout=1000}})
vim.api.nvim_echo({{'searching'}}, true, {kind='progress', percent=80, status='running', title="terminal(ripgrep)"})
local id = vim.api.nvim_echo({{'searching'}}, true, {kind='progress', status='running', percent=10, title="terminal(ripgrep)"})
vim.api.nvim_echo({}, true, {id = id, kind='progress', percent=20, status = 'running', title='find tests'})
vim.api.nvim_echo({}, true, {id = id, kind='progress', status='running', percent=70})
vim.api.nvim_echo({{'complete'}}, true, {id = id, kind='progress', status='success', percent=100, title="find tests"})
Followups:
- Integrate with 'statusline' by listening to the Progress autocmd event.
- Integrate progress ui-event with `vim._extui`.
Problem: various functions may return incorrect window numbers for unfocusable
or hidden windows.
Solution: fix the checks. Make sure current windows in non-current tabpages have
a window number.
Fixes#35453
Problem: TextChangedT fires depending on whether Nvim needs to update_screen
while in terminal mode. This makes little sense as redraws can be completely
unrelated to the terminal. Also, TextChanged could be fired from changes in
terminal mode after returning to normal mode.
Solution: trigger it when b:changedtick changes, like other such events. Happens
when invalid cells are refreshed, though is no longer affected by cursor
changes. Don't fire TextChanged from changes in terminal mode after leaving.
Unlike the other TextChanged* events, I've elected to not have it be influenced
by typeahead. Plus, unlike when leaving insert mode when no TextChangedI events
are defined, I don't trigger TextChanged when returning to normal mode from
changes in terminal mode (is that a Vim bug?)
Curiously, Vim's TextChangedT is different; it's tied to its terminal cursor
redraws, which triggers pretty eagerly (but is unaffected by unrelated redraws)
- usually *twice* when data is sent to the terminal (regardless of whether it
causes any visible changes, like incomplete escape codes; wasn't true for Nvim).
Not clear to me how this event was actually intended to work, but this seems to
make the most sense to me.
Problem: w_wrow/col calculation in terminal_check_cursor is wrong when the
terminal is smaller than the window. Common when there's a larger window open
with the same terminal, or just after a resize (as refresh_size is deferred).
Solution: don't calculate it; validate_cursor will correct it later if it's
out-of-date.
Note that the toplines set for the terminal (also before this PR) assume
'nowrap' (which is set by default for terminal windows), and that no weird stuff
like filler lines are around. That means, for example, it's possible for the
cursor to be moved off-screen if there's wrapped lines. If this happens, it's
likely update_topline will move the cursor back on screen via validate_cursor or
similar, but maybe this should be handled more elegantly in the future?
Problem: autocommands can cause various problems in terminal mode, which can
lead to crashes, for example.
Solution: fix found issues. Move some checks to terminal_check and guard against
autocommands messing with things. Trigger TermEnter/Leave after terminal mode
has changed/restored most state. Wipeout the correct buffer if TermLeave
switches buffers and fix a UAF if it or WinScrolled/Resized frees the terminal
prematurely.
These changes also allow us to remove the buffer restrictions on TextChangedT;
they were inadequate in stopping some issues, and WinScrolled/Resized was
lacking them anyway.
Problem: when creating a new tabpage with a terminal window, terminal size is
not updated if there is no statusline.
Solution: do not rely on last_status to implicitly call terminal_check_size as a
side effect of making room for a statusline; call it directly.
Problem: topline of a focused terminal window may not tail to terminal output if
events scroll the window.
Solution: set the topline in terminal_check_cursor.
Problem: missing redraws when restoring saved cursorline/column, plus missing
statusline and mode redraws when not updating the screen in terminal mode.
Solution: schedule the redraws in a similar manner to other modes and remove
some now unnecessary redrawing logic. Redraw if cursorline-related options
change from entering terminal mode. This fixes test failures in later commits.
WTF: TextChangedT triggers based on must_redraw, which is... fun...? Try to
preserve its behaviour as much as we can for now.
Problem: in terminal mode, adjust_topline moves curwin's cursor to the last row
so set_topline tails the non-scrollback area. This may result in the observed
cursor position remaining tailed in events within the focused terminal, rather
than reflecting the actual cursor position.
Solution: use the focused terminal's actual cursor position immediately, rather
than relying on the next terminal_check_cursor call in terminal_check to set it.
Note: Maybe also possible for terminal mode cursor position to be stale
(reporting the normal mode position) when switching buffers in events to another
terminal until the next terminal_check call? (or until refresh_terminal is
called for it) Maybe not worth fixing that, though.
Problem: Text properties crossing lines not handled correctly.
Solution: When joining lines merge text properties if possible.

vim-patch:8.2.4142: build failure with normal features without persistent undo
vim-patch:9.0.0361: removing a listener may result in a memory leak
Problem: completion: not possible to delay the autcompletion
Solution: add the 'autocompletedelay' option value (Girish Palya).
This patch introduces a new global option 'autocompletedelay'/'acl' that
specifies the delay, in milliseconds, before the autocomplete menu
appears after typing.
When set to a non-zero value, Vim waits for the specified time before
showing the completion popup, allowing users to reduce distraction from
rapid suggestion pop-ups or to fine-tune the responsiveness of
completion.
The default value is 0, which preserves the current immediate-popup
behavior.

Problem: When stdin follows files, set_curbuf() initializes buffer via
enter_buffer(), then open_buffer() initializes again, causing memory leaks.
Solution: Use readfile() directly for new buffers already initialized by
enter_buffer(), only call open_buffer() for original buffer case.
