Problem:
`gx` does not work on tags in help buffers to open the documentation of that tag in the browser.
Solution:
Get the `optionlink`, `taglink` and `tag` TS nodes and set extmark "url" property.
`gx` then discovers the extmark "url" and opens it.
Problem: There is no way to ensure a stable key order when encoding a JSON string,
which can be useful for comparisons and producing cleaner diffs.
Solution: Introduce a `sort_keys` option for `vim.json.encode()`,which
is disabled by default. When enabled, object keys are sorted in
alphabetical order.
It helps to have plugins living in one common area, because it signals
to users the mechanisms for controlling them, which are typically driven
by keymaps and autocmds rather than builtin options.
We can always revisit if plugins.txt gets "too big" (for example, we may
want to introduce "project.txt" for the project concept, where
editorconfig and 'exrc' are relevant), but for now it's rather unusual
for editorconfig.txt to have its own dedicated helpfile.
Problem:
Multigrid UIs have to find out which window to send the input by using
the Nvim focus rules, which are not fully documented.
Furthermore,`getmousepos()` has several problems when multigrid is
enabled, with the main one being that screenrow and screencol are window
relative instead of screen relative, due to the fact that the UI don't
send any absolute coordinates.
Solution:
Allow passing 0 as grid to `nvim_input_mouse`, with absolute
coordinates, which lets nvim determine the actual window to send the
mouse input to. This works as long as nvim is in charge of the window
positioning. If the UI repositions or resizes the windows, it can still
pass the grid it determines like before.
Problem: A 'rulerformat' not part of the statusline is not emitted through
msg_ruler events.
Solution: Build the message chunks to emit as a msg_ruler event.
Problem: defaults: 'diffopt' option value can be improved
Solution: Update diffopt defaults to include "indent-heuristic" and
"inline:char" (Yee Cheng Chin)
The default diff options have not been updated much despite new
functionality having been added to Vim.
- indent-heurstic: This has been enabled by default in Git since
33de716387 in 2017. Given that Vim uses xdiff from Git, it makes sense
to track the default configuration from Git.
- inline:char: This turns on character-wise inline highlighting which is
generally much better than the default inline:simple. It has been
implemented since vim/vim#16881 and we have not seen reports of any issues
with it, and it has received good feedbacks.

Problem: completion: preinserted text highlighed using ComplMatchIns
Solution: Use highlighting group PreInsert and update the documentation
(Girish Palya).
When "preinsert" is included in 'completeopt', only the PreInsert
highlight group should be applied, whether autocompletion is active or not.
Previously, ComplMatchIns was used when autocompletion was not enabled.

Problem: The rightleft and arabic features are disabled.
Solution: Re-enable the features, some users want to use the functionality.

Continuing the work of #31400
That PR allowed the provider to be invoked multiple times per line.
We want only to do that when there actually is more data later on the
line. Additionally, we want to skip over lines which contain no new
highlight items. The TS query cursor already tells us what the next
position with more data is, so there is no need to reinvoke the range
callback before that.
NB: this removes the double buffering introduced in #32619 which
is funtamentally incompatible with this (nvim core is supposed to keep
track of long ranges by itself, without requiring a callback reinvoke
blitz). Need to adjust the priorities some other way to fix the same issue.
Problem: complete: preinsert does not work well with preinsert
Solution: Make "preinsert" completeopt value work with autocompletion
(Girish Palya)
This change extends Insert mode autocompletion so that 'preinsert' also
works when 'autocomplete' is enabled.
Try: `:set ac cot=preinsert`
See `:help 'cot'` for more details.

Problem:
These "foo.vim" syntax tags add 100+ useless tags to help. In
particular, "progress.vim" is the first match for "progress", which not
the result anyone is actually looking for, since Nvim 0.12 gained the
"progress-message" feature.
Solution:
Drop the "foo.vim" syntax tags. The "ft-foo" tags are more appropriately
named.
Problem:
There is no straightforward way to pretty-print objects as JSON.
The existing `vim.inspect` outputs LON.
Solution:
Introduce an `indent` option for `vim.json.encode()` which enables
human-readable output with configurable indentation.
Adapts PR to upstream: openresty/lua-cjson#114
Problem:
Force resolve `spec.version` overrides the information about whether
a user supplied `version` or not. Knowing it might be useful in some use
cases (like comparing to previously set `spec` to detect if it has
changed).
Solution:
Do not resolve `spec.version`. This also improves speed when triggering
events and calling `get()`.
- Place default branch first when listing all branches.
- Use correct terminology in `get_hash` helper.
- Do not return `{ '' }` if there are no tags.
Problem:
There is no way to get more information about installed plugins, like
current revision or default branch (necessary if resolving default
`spec.version` manually). As computing Git data migth take some time,
also allow `get()` to limit output to only necessary set of plugins.
Solution:
- introduce arguments to `get(names, opts)`, which follows other
`vim.pack` functions. Plugin extra info is returned by default and
should be opt-out via `opts.info = false`.
- Examples:
- Get current revision: `get({ 'plug-name' })[1].rev`
- Get default branch: `get({ 'plug_name' })[1].branches[1]`
- `update()` and `del()` act on plugins in the same order their names
are supplied. This is less surprising.
- default `opts.info` to `true` since this simplifies logic for the
common user, while still leaving the door open for a faster `get()` if
needed.
Problem: The document of nvim_buf_get_extmark currently lacks the
following:
- "details" directory: nvim_buf_get_extmarks() allows an option details
to get a "details" directory in result, but it doesn't mention where
that "details" directory is, what fields does it have.
Solution: Add docs for "details" directory in nvim_buf_get_extmarks()
- Problem: It's not clear for new plugin developers that `:help` uses
a help-tags file for searching the docs, generated by `:helptags`.
- Solution: Hint to the |:helptags| docs for regenerating the tags
file for their freshly written documentation.

Problem:
insert-mode ctrl-r input is treated like raw user input, which is almost
never useful. This means any newlines in the input are affected by
autoindent, etc., which is:
- slow
- usually breaks the formatting of the input
Solution:
- ctrl-r should be treated like a paste, not user-input.
- does not affect `<c-r>=`, so `<c-r>=@x` can still be used to get the
old behavior.

Problem:
The default progress message doesn't account for
message-status. Also, the title and percent sections don't get written
to history. And progress percent is hard to find with variable length messages.
Solution:
Apply highlighting on Title based on status. And sync the formated msg
in history too. Also updates the default progress message format to
{title}: {percent}% msg
Problem:
The callback passed to `vim.wait` cannot return results directly, it
must set upvalues or globals.
local rv1, rv2, rv3
local ok = vim.wait(200, function()
rv1, rv2, rv3 = 'a', 42, { ok = { 'yes' } }
return true
end)
Solution:
Let the callback return values after the first "status" result.
local ok, rv1, rv2, rv3 = vim.wait(200, function()
return true, 'a', 42, { ok = { 'yes' } }
end)
