Problem:
On MSWIN, file completion (CTRL-X CTRL-F) only works for the current
drive (so not for actual absolute paths), since drive letters are never
included in the completion pattern.
e.g. when completing "F:\Hello" Nvim currently completes "\Hello"
which is relative to the current drive/volume.
vim solves this by adding ':' to the default 'isfname' value on mswin,
but that causes issues as ':' is not a valid windows path char anywhere
_except_ after the drive letter.
Solution:
detect drive letters in front of the path when creating the completion
pattern.
Problem: completion: some issues with 'acl' when "preinsert" and
"longest" is in 'completeopt' (musonius, after v9.1.1638)
Solution: Fix various issues (see details below) (Girish Palya)
This commit addresses multiple issues in the 'autocompletedelay' behavior with
"preinsert" and "longest":
- Prevents spurious characters from being inserted.
- Ensures the completion menu is not shown until `autocompletedelay` has
expired.
- Shows the "preinsert" effect immediately.
- Keeps the "preinsert" effect visible even when a character is deleted.

Problem: completion: autocompletion can be improved
Solution: Add support for "longest" and "preinsert" in 'autocomplete';
add preinserted() (Girish Palya)
* Add support for "longest" in 'completeopt' when 'autocomplete'
is enabled. (Note: the cursor position does not change automatically
when 'autocomplete' is enabled.)
* Add support for "preinsert" when 'autocomplete' is enabled. Ensure
"preinsert" works the same with and without 'autocomplete'
* introduce the preinserted() Vim script function, useful for defining
custom key mappings.

- 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: 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: No check for closing the only non-floating window in a non-current
tabpage that contains floats. This can lead to a tabpage that contains only
floats, causing crashes.
Solution: Copy the relevant check from win_close to win_close_othertab. Fix some
uncovered issues.

Problem: The ruler disappears after typing the second character during
insert mode completion, even when completion messages are
suppressed ('shortmess' includes "c"). This makes the UI
appear inconsistent.
Solution: Ensure the ruler is restored during screen redraw when popup
completion is active (Girish Palya).
Notes:
No new tests were added, as existing screen dump tests were updated to
reflect the corrected behavior.

Nvim already behaves correctly as the popup menu is a separate grid in
the compositor.

Problem: completion: messages don't respect 'shm' setting
Solution: Turn off completion messages when 'shortmess' includes "c"
(Girish Palya).
`:set shortmess+=c` is intended to reduce noise during completion by
suppressing messages.
Previously, some completion messages still appeared regardless of this setting.
This change ensures that **all** completion-related messages are suppressed
when `'c'` is present in `'shortmess'`.
Not entirely sure if the original behavior was intentional. If there's a
reason certain messages were always shown, feel free to close this without
merging.

Problem: As in f85bc41, assume unfocusable windows to be UI windows
whose buffer content is unexpectedly included in 'complete'
"w" completion.
Solution: Exclude unfocusable windows when looping over windows.
Problem:
`:lua vim.lsp.c<tab>` does not list vim.lsp.completion in the completion
list after 24cea4c7f7.
Solution:
- Always include `vim.lsp._submodule` keys in candidates.
- Fixes `vim.lsp.c<tab>` -> `vim.lsp.completion`.
- Eager-load `vim.lsp.completion` to get its completion.
- Fixes `vim.lsp.completion.g<tab>` -> `vim.lsp.completion.get`.
Problem:
Current `'includeexpr'` in runtime/ftplugin/lua.vim doesn't work with Nvim Lua.
Solution:
Provide an improved 'includeexpr' for Lua in "ftplugin/lua.lua".
Closes: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/32490
Problem:
The `lua/` tests dir is for Lua stdlib tests. It is not for anything
that randomly happens to be implemented with Lua.
Solution:
Move `lua/runtime_spec.lua` to `editor/runtime_spec.lua`.
Problem:
`feed_command()` was added as a "bridge" for old test code. 99% of those
cases should be using `n.command()`, which raises errors instead of
silently continuing the test.
Solution:
Deprecate `feed_command()`. It should not be used in new tests.
All usages of `feed_command()` should be converted to `command()` or
`feed()`.
When a plugin registers a TermRequest handler there is currently no way
for the handler to know where the terminal's cursor position was when
the sequence was received. This is often useful information, e.g. for
OSC 133 sequences which are used to annotate shell prompts.
Modify the event data for the TermRequest autocommand to be a table
instead of just a string. The "sequence" field of the table contains the
sequence string and the "cursor" field contains the cursor
position when the sequence was received.
To maintain consistency between TermRequest and TermResponse (and to
future proof the latter), TermResponse's event data is also updated to
be a table with a "sequence" field.
BREAKING CHANGE: event data for TermRequest and TermResponse is now a
table
Problem: Sourcing buffer lines is too complicated.
Solution: Simplify the code. Make it possible to source Vim9 script lines.
(Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#9974)
https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/85b43c6cb7d56919e245622f4e42db6d8bee4194
This commit changes the behavior of sourcing buffer lines to always have
a script ID, although sourcing the same buffer always produces the same
script ID.
vim-patch:9.1.0372: Calling CLEAR_FIELD() on the same struct twice

Problem:
Indenting text is a common task in plugins/scripts for
presentation/formatting, yet vim has no way of doing it (especially
"dedent", and especially non-buffer text).
Solution:
Introduce `vim.text.indent()`. It sets the *exact* indentation because
that's a more difficult (and thus more useful) task than merely
"increasing the current indent" (which is somewhat easy with a `gsub()`
one-liner).
Problem: The behavior of the visual search mappings aren't consistent
with their normal mode counterparts.
- The count isn't considered
- Searching with an empty selection will match every character in the
buffer
- Searching backwards only jumps back when the cursor is positioned at
the start of the selection.
Solution:
- Issue `n` `v:count1` times
- Error out and exit visual mode when the selection is empty
- Detect when the cursor is not at the start of the selection, and
adjust the count accordingly
Also, use the search register instead of the more error-prone approach
of feeding the entire search string as an expression
Problem:
If completeopt does not include "popup" flag, nvim__complete_set still
auto-creates a floating preview window.
Solution:
Fail if completeopt does not include the "popup" flag.
Problem:
`termopen` has long been a superficial wrapper around `jobstart`, and
has no real purpose. Also, `vim.system` and `nvim_open_term` presumably
will replace all features of `jobstart` and `termopen`, so centralizing
the logic will help with that.
Solution:
- Introduce `eval/deprecated.c`, where all deprecated eval funcs will live.
- Introduce "term" flag of `jobstart`.
- Deprecate `termopen`.
Problem: When completion leader changes, text that might be reinserted
immediately after is deleted. This unnecessarily affects
extmarks. #31387 restored the original extmarks but that
prevents end_right_gravity marks from growing.
Solution: Avoid deleting leader text that will be reinserted.
Problem:
The default unimpaired mappings display an empty line after the
command's output. This results (with default configuration) in the
`Press ENTER or type command to continue` prompt to be displayed, like
so:
```
(2 of 16): item2
Press ENTER or type command to continue
```
Solution:
The cause is that we're checking the second return value from
`pcall(vim.api.nvim_cmd, opts, {})` to determine whether the call was
successful. `nvim_cmd` returns an empty string on success, so this value
is an empty string in the successful path which we then display.
The fix is simple: check the first return value instead which is the
"status code" of the call.
Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.
Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.
while the implementation is not tied to screen chars, it is a reasonable
expectation to support the same size. If nvim is able to display a
multibyte character, it will accept the same character as input,
including in normal mode commands like r{char}
