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.
- Bump zig version to 0.15.1 and workaround zig fetch hang (ziglang/zig#24916)
- add mac os zig build (currently without luajit, linker failure)
- Add windows zig build, currently with very limited testing
This also fixes the following warning in tests with ASAN or TSAN:
-------- Running tests from test/functional/plugin/lsp/inline_completion_spec.lua

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.
Problem:
LSP logs show misleading "cannot start" messages when editing a filetype
NOT listed in the `config.filetypes` field.
[ERROR][2025-09-13 18:55:56] …/runtime//lua/vim/lsp/log.lua:151
"cannot start cssls due to config error: …/runtime//lua/vim/lsp.lua:423:
cmd: expected expected function or table with executable command,
got table: 0x0104701b18. Info: vscode-css-language-server is not executable"
Solution:
- `can_start`: check `config.filetypes` before checking the rest of the
config.
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: First clean start with config containing multiple
`vim.pack.add()` calls requires to explicitly confirm each one.
Although usually a rare occurrence, it still might be tedious.
Solution: Add a third choice during installation confirmation that
approves current and all next installs within current session. It is
reset after session restart.
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:
Crash on startup in some situations due to call to `set_curbuf`
with the current value of `cur_buf`.
Solution:
Switch buffers before doing the wipeout of the stdin buffer.
Use cmdline cmds instead of raw buffer pointers to avoid lifetime issues.
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: 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: nvim_win_set_config may crash when attempting to move curwin to a
different tabpage if there is no other non-float available to switch to.
Solution: fix the crash. Fix ONE_WINDOW checks in winframe_find_altwin and
win_altframe to consider floating windows by instead using one_window. Allow
one_window to consider non-current tabpages. We can use one_window in
win_close_othertab now to also better reflect its use in win_close.

Problem:
Currently, prompt_buffer manages `:` mark by itself and exposes it
read-only mark. However when it fails there can be no mitigation made
by plugins. The `:` mark should act like a regular marks and be
modifiable.
Solution:
Allow plugins to set `:` mark.
The flakiness happens because get() uses vim.schedule(), and a following
key may be processed before the scheduled event. Use poke_eventloop() to
ensure that the scheduled event is processed.
Problem: Matches may be listed twice with wildmode=longest,list when
"longest" doesn't change command line (after 9.1.1737).
Solution: Set did_wild_list when trying "list" after "longest"
(zeertzjq).
closes: vim/vim#18227a28a2eb9d9
Problem: Patch v9.1.1714 introduce a regression for wildmenu (zeertzjq)
Solution: Restore behavior of "longest" in 'wildmode' (Girish Palya)
- Fixed a regression caused by PR vim/vim#18125 selecting wrong item
- Fixed another regression where the first pasted text did not appear on
the command-line after starting Vim.

Problem: Some environment variables which are useful when working inside
a bare repository can affect any Git operation.
Solution: Explicitly unset problematic environment variables.
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: after #34287 nvim_win_set_config no longer errors when attempting to
split from a floating window only if "win" is 0.
Solution: fix the regression, reduce the scope of "parent" and similar checks to
only where it's currently used and add test coverage for the errors.
Problem: Progress reports use plain `nvim_echo()` with manually
constructed messages and populate history on every call.
Solution: Use `nvim_echo()` with newly added `kind=progress` which (at
least for now) is meant to be a unified interface for showing progress
report. Also save in history only first and last progress report
messages.
Problem:
Adding multigrid tests to `mouse_spec` requires all tests to test both
the multigrid and non-multigrid screen state, which adds a lot of extra
code.
Solution:
Instead of testing the full screen state, only test substrings of it.
- 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.

Solution: A window marked for ext_cmdline usage is still referenced
after it is already closed and freed.
Solution: Unset cmdline_win when the window is closed.
Problem:
Currently it's only possible to test a single string match in the
screen, which makes it hard match multiple strings in the screen to
avoid having to compare the whole screen state.
It's also not possible to test if a string match is not found in the screen.
Solution:
Support an array of `any` matches and also support `none`, which does a
negative comparision.
Problem: a horizontal separator may be added to a window that doesn't need one
if there is no room when moving a different window.
Solution: only restore a hsep in winframe_restore when the global statusline is
enabled.
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)
Problem:
`msg_show` has "progress" info (title, status, percent) which is not presented
by default.
Solution:
Format TUI messages as `{title}: {msg}...{percent}%`. This also gets sent to UI.
- With specific formatting sent to UI we can remove the `progress` item from
`msg_show` event. It can be added if needed in the future. Also, having
a default presentation makes the feature more useful.
- For `vim._extui` we just need to implement the replace-msg-with-same-id
behavior.
- If any UI/plugin wants to do anything fancier, they can handle the `Progress`
event.
Problem:
Hover response of MarkedString[] where the first element contains a
language identifier treated as empty.
Solution:
Fix empty check to handle case of MarkedString[] where the first element
is a pair of a language and value.
