Problem: using f-flag in 'complete' conflicts with Neovims filename
completion (glepnir, after v9.1.1301).
Solution: use upper-case "F" flag for completion functions
(Girish Palya).

Problem: completion: not possible to limit number of matches
Solution: allow to limit the matches for 'complete' sources by using the
"{flag}^{limit}" notation (Girish Palya)
This change extends the 'complete' option to support limiting the
number of matches returned from individual completion sources.
**Rationale:** In large files, certain sources (such as the current
buffer) can generate an overwhelming number of matches, which may cause
more relevant results from other sources (e.g., LSP or tags) to be
pushed out of view. By specifying per-source match limits, the
completion menu remains balanced and diverse, improving visibility and
relevance of suggestions.
A caret (`^`) followed by a number can be appended to a source flag to
specify the maximum number of matches for that source. For example:
```
:set complete=.^9,w,u,t^5
```
In this configuration:
- The current buffer (`.`) will return up to 9 matches.
- The tag completion (`t`) will return up to 5 matches.
- Other sources (`w`, `u`) are not limited.
This feature is fully backward-compatible and does not affect behavior
when the `^count` suffix is not used.
The caret (`^`) was chosen as the delimiter because it is least likely
to appear in file names.

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: Buffer setup after moving the message buffer to the "more"
window after ff95d7ff is incomplete.
Solution: Adjust and invoke tab_check_wins() to do the setup instead.
Problem: Closing the "more" window for an entered cmdwin in ff95d7ff9
still requires special casing to properly handle "more" visibility.
Solution: Reposition the "more" window instead; anchoring it to the
cmdwin.
Problem:
Developing/troubleshooting plugins has friction because "restarting"
Nvim requires quitting and manually starting again. #32484
Solution:
- Implement a `:restart` command which emits `restart` UI event.
- Handle the `restart` UI event in the builtin TUI client: stop the
`nvim --embed` server, start a new one, and attach to it.
Complement the documented support for the recognition of all
public types of the "java.lang" package (":help java.vim").
(The original syntax item generator may have, inadvertently,
contributed via suppressing "NullPointerException"s to not
having annotation and interface types qualify in general.)
Also, re-link usage instructions for the alternative syntax
item generator to a rolling "master"'s version.

Problem: Non-visible/focusable windows are assigned a window number,
whereas commands that use this window number skip over them.
Solution: Skip over non-visible/focusable windows when computing
the window number, unless it is made the current window
through the API in which case an identifiable window number
is still useful. This also ensures it matches the window
number of the window entered by `<winnr>wincmd w` since
403fcacf.
Problem: Message lines from multiple message events that end up
spilling 'cmdheight' end up spread out over the cmdline
and "more" window.
Messages emitted as feedback to a typed :command (rather than
its sole purpose like :echo/:=) are routed to the more window.
The more window isn't closed when entering the cmdwin, and
doesn't allow `vim.hl.on_yank()`.
Solution: When first opening the "more" window for spilled messages,
move the message buffer to the more window.
Restrict routing of typed commands to echo kinds.
Ignore all events but WinLeave and TextYankPost.
- Match full :mark and :k commands.
- Match 2 and 3 letter :s repeat commands.
- Match :s [count] argument.

Problem: Shebang filetype detection can be improved
Solution: Improve detection logic (Eisuke Kawashima)
Vim does not correctly detect filetype from
- `#!/usr/bin/env --split-string=awk -f`
- `#!/usr/bin/env -S -i awk -f`
- `#!/usr/bin/env -S VAR= awk -f`
So update the current detection logic to detect those cases.

Problem:
Despite the name, `builtin.txt` only includes Vimscript functions, which
is confusing, especially to people who only use Lua to configure Nvim
Solution: From justinmk's suggestion
- Rename `builtin.txt` to `vimfn.txt`
- Rename `eval.txt` to `vimeval.txt`
- The tags `*builtin.txt*` and `*eval.txt*` should be kept for Vim-patches

Problem: Unable to emit a message with arbitrary kind.
Solution: Add a "kind" opts field to nvim_echo().
Use it to set the "list_cmd" kind for vim.show_pos().
Problem: Calculated cmdline cursor position can be smaller than 0.
Prompt part of the cmdline is translated, while it should
support "\t" characters.
Solution: Remove prompt part from the stored "cmdbuff" and get rid of
dubious +/-1 from cmdline cursor calculation.
Problem: An already open "more" window is the most convenient place
to route messages to with `cfg.msg.pos == 'cmd'`. Instead we
route to the cmdline (unless that message also exceeds
'cmdheight').
Solution: Route to "more" window while it is open and scroll to bottom
to show the newest message. This is more convenient and more
efficient due to not writing to the target buffer first (which
is done to calculate the height of the message).
(Ensure message highlights are deleted when text is replaced.)
Problem: Bulking message lines to write in a single API call is
complicated and still not correct w.r.t. overwriting
highlights.
Solution: Write each chunk pattern separately with it's highlight
such that it will be spliced correctly for message chunks
that contain a carriage return. Go with correctness over
performance until this proves to be too inefficient.
Also add an identifying name to the various extui buffers.
Problem: Using tracked message column as column in cleared buffer.
Solution: Ensure column does not exceed current line length.
Further work to ensure carriage return and cmdline block mode
work properly.
