Problem: A float whose zindex is below the cmdline can be enlarged and
end up behind the cmdline.
Solution: Clamp height of such windows to not extend beyond 'cmdheight'.
Problem: Strange behavior when opening terminal on unloaded buffer.
Solution: For nvim_open_term() ensure the buffer is loaded as it needs
to be read into the terminal. For jobstart() just open the
memfile as the file content isn't needed.
Not going to make nvim_open_term() pass stdin to the terminal when stdin
isn't read into a buffer yet, as other APIs don't read stdin on unloaded
buffer either. There are also other problems with loading buffer before
reading stdin, so it's better to address those in another PR.
Problem: Setting a byte in a blob, accepts values outside 0-255

Problem: Vim9: outdated TODO items, disabled tests that work.
Solution: Remove TODO items, run tests that work now. Check that a dict
item isn't locked.

**Problem:** No easy way to stack highlight groups #35806.
**Solution:** Add a way to specify a new statusline chunk with a
highlight group that inherits from previous highlight attributes.
Also applies to tabline, etc.
When the terminal process is suspended, putting cursor at bottom-left
hints that pressing a key will change the suspended state. However, when
returning to Normal mode, the user is more likely to interact with the
actual terminal output (e.g. copying it), so it's better to put cursor
at the old position which should be closer to the output.
Also, using is_focused() to check for mode is confusing. Just check
`State & MODE_TERMINAL` instead.
Problem: heap-buffer-overflow in init_prompt and prompt_setprompt if ': mark has
an invalid column number.
Solution: consider an out-of-bounds column number as a missing prompt.
Remove the check for NULL for old_line, as ml_get_buf can't return NULL.
Problem: prompt_setprompt may check the wrong buffer, which can lead to a
heap-buffer-overflow.
Solution: don't use curbuf.
Also replace all kCallbackNone initializers with CALLBACK_INIT.
Problem: Setting 'winhighlight' doesn't after setting global namespace
using nvim_win_set_hl_ns().
Solution: Check if using another namespace when setting 'winhighlight'
instead of disabling 'winhighlight' in nvim_win_set_hl_ns().
Problem:
Currently, if prompt gets changed during user-input with
prompt_setprompt() it only gets reflected in next prompt. And that
behavior is not also consistent. If user re-enters insert mode then the
user input gets discarded and a new prompt gets created with the new
prompt.
Solution:
Handle prompt_setprompt eagerly. Update the prompt display, preserve user input.
- Refactor LSP client to use unified provider-based capability lookup for
diagnostics and other features.
- Introduce `_provider_value_get` to abstract capability retrieval,
supporting both static and dynamic registrations.
- Update diagnostic handling and protocol mappings to leverage
provider-centric logic.
Problem:
HLF_8 is used by :intro and :map. And none of the other HLF_x things
use the other Special groups. So we have a darkgray highlight that's
very common, and not easy to read.
Darkgray makes sense for "Conceal", "non-printing chars", etc. But not
for keycodes or similar common elements.
Solution:
Link SpecialKey to Special.
Problem:
- tee was vendored in ceb7eb5230 but
forgot to add it to `build.zig`.
- xxd was vendored in 5bb8734fb6 but
the old XXD_URL is still referenced.
Solution:
- update `build.zig`
- remove XXD_URL
Problem:
- `:restart <cmd>` prepends `-c <cmd>` before the original `-c` args (if
any). So the original `-c` args may "override" it, which is
surprising.
- Confusing logic: `v:argv` is partially prepared in `ex_docmd.c`, and
then later `ui.c` skips other parts of it.
Current behavior is nonsense, for example this sequence:
:restart echo "Hello"
:restart +qall echo "Hello" | echo "World"
results in this v:argv:
[
'nvim'
'-c'
'echo "Hello" | echo "World"'
'--embed'
'-c'
'echo "Hello"'
...
]
Whereas after this commit, v:argv is:
[
'nvim'
'--embed'
...
'-c'
'echo "Hello" | echo "World"'
]
Solution:
- Append `-c <cmd>` at the _end_ of `v:argv`, not the start.
- Use a dummy placeholder `+:::` to mark where the "restart command"
appears in `v:argv`.
- Do all `v:argv` preparation in `ex_docmd.c`. This simplifies `ui.c`.
- Drop `-- [files…]` from `v:argv` since it is probably more annoying
than useful. (Users can use sessions to restore files on restart.)
Problem:
- ~200 line function of hard-to-maintain C code.
- Local Addition section looks messy because of the varying description
formats.
Solution:
- Move code to Lua.
- Have a best-effort approach where short descriptions are right
aligned, giving a cleaner look. Long descriptions are untouched.
Problem: Terminal buffers are not refreshed when processing keys that
trigger partial mappings.
Solution: Process due terminal refreshes before redrawing.
Problem:
When a window is redrawn, `draw_vsep_win`/`draw_hsep_win` paint plain
separator characters (`│`/`─`) along the window's entire edges,
including cells that are connector corners belonging to other windows.
Then `draw_sep_connectors_win` only fixes the corners of that same
window, not connectors in the middle of its edges that belong to
adjacent windows.
If the window that "owns" the connector corner isn't part of the redraw,
the connector is never repainted.
Solution:
Move connector drawing out of the per-window `win_update` and into a
separate pass in `update_screen` that runs after all windows have been
updated.
Problem: Terminal doesn't detect if the PTY process is suspended or
offer a convenient way for the user to resume the process.
Solution: Detect suspended PTY process on SIGCHLD and show virtual text
"[Process suspended]" at the bottom-left. Resume the process
when the user presses a key.
Problem: wait() checks condition twice on each interval.
Solution: Don't schedule the due callback. Also fix memory leak when
Nvim exits while waiting.
No test that the condition isn't checked twice, as testing for that can
be flaky when there are libuv events from other sources.
Problem:
restart hangs when nvim was started with stdin input, "-" marker stays
in v:argv, causing the restarted instance to block reading from stdin.
Solution:
filter out the "-" argument when rebuilding v:argv during restart.
Stdin content is ephemeral and shouldn't be re-read after restart.
Problem: When a float window with style='minimal' is converted to a
split window and then changes buffer, the minimal style options get
overridden. This happens because merge_win_config() clears the style
field, so get_winopts() doesn't know to re-apply minimal style after
restoring options from the buffer's wininfo.
Solution: Save and restore the style field when clearing the config
during float-to-split conversion.
Problem: Terminal scrollback may be wrong when increasing height after
outputting lines with full scrollback.
Solution: Ensure enough number of scrollback lines have been deleted.
Problem:
bw_rest was used as an extra buffer to save incomplete byte sequences
between calls to buf_write_bytes. Besides being unnecessarily
complicated, this introduced a number of issues:
1) The bytes stored in bw_rest could still be there at the end of
writing the file, never having been written, thus losing some of the
file content on write.
2) bw_rest was not cleared out after the "checking_conversion" phase,
leaving them to affect the written file content during the writing
phase, corrupting the file.
3) bw_rest could contain extra bytes that need to be written to the
output buffer during a buf_write_convert call, potentially before any
bytes are consumed. But some conversions are in-place, without a
separate output buffer. Writing bytes from bw_rest to the "output"
buffer actually overwrote bytes from the input buffer before they were
read, corrupting the data to be written.
4) The extra bytes in bw_rest that need to be written to the conversion
output buffer were not originally accounted for in the size calculation
for the output buffer, causing a buffer overflow (previously fixed in
Vim patch 9.1.2028).
Solution:
Rather than maintaining a separate buffer, the unconverted bytes at the
end of the buffer can just be shifted to the beginning of the buffer,
and the buffer size updated. This requires a bit of refactoring, and
buf_write_convert and buf_write_convert_with_iconv need to report the
number of bytes they consumed so that buf_write_bytes can handle the
remaining bytes.
Following conversion, bw_buf can be checked for any remaining bytes.
Leftover bytes in this case result in a conversion error, which is
better than silently dropping them.
A short section of dead code was removed from buf_write_convert, for
converting a non-UTF-8 buffer to UTF-8. Neovim buffers are always UTF-8.
A few additional tests for iconv conversions have been added. Vim's
iconv tests are disabled in Neovim because they use unsupported values
for 'encoding'.
Problem: Changing terminal height immediately after outputting lines
may lead to wrong scrollback.
Solution: Insert pending scrollback lines before the old window height.
Problem:
`vim.json.decode()` could not parse JSONC (JSON with Comments)
extension, which is commonly used in configuration files.
Solution:
Introduce an `skip_comments` option, which is disabled by default. When
enabled, allows JavaScript-style comments within JSON data.
Problem: Crash on failed sockconnect() if a new connection is accepted
while polling for uv events.
Solution: Don't use channel_destroy_early().
Also test "tcp" mode failure properly.
Problem:
Escaping logic for {subject} in ex cmd `:help {subject}` is done in a
messy 200+ lines C function which is hard to maintain and improve.
Solution:
Rewrite in Lua. Use `string.gsub()` instead of looping over characters
to improve clarity and add many more tests to be able to confidently
improve current code later on.
Problem: cterm field in Dict(highlight) is declared as Union(Integer, String)
but it actually expects a Dict(highlight_cterm).
Solution: change cterm type to DictAs(highlight__cterm) and simplify the
handling in dict2hlattrs since type validation and empty array compat are
already handled by api_dict_to_keydict.
In particular, also mention the difference between the regex atom \k and
what Vim considers for a word character.

Problem: Wrong scrollback when passing a buffer with many lines to
nvim_open_term().
Solution: Delete all buffer lines before opening the terminal.
I tried to use buf_clear(), but it crashes inside deleted_lines_mark(),
so I'll just use deleted_lines_buf() for now. The behavior of marks can
be decided later.
Problem: heap use-after-free if OptionSet autocommands from setting a terminal's
&buftype wipe the buffer.
Solution: set b_locked during OptionSet for &buftype.
Problem: Terminal doesn't handle ED 3 (clear scrollback) properly.
Solution: Add vterm callback for sb_clear().
Also fix another problem that scrollback lines may be duplicated when
pushing to scrollback immediately after reducing window height, as can
be seen in the changes to test/functional/terminal/window_spec.lua.
Problem: TermResponse deferred due to blocked autocommands lacks "data" payload.
Also, it may not fire if a new v:termresponse reuses the same string address.
Solution: add it. Use the value of v:termresponse for "data.sequence". Replace
pointer comparisons with a flag.
The removal of "old_termresponse" comparisons is required to pass the test on
the CI, or locally for me when compiled in RelWithDebInfo.
Problem: if buf_free_all autocommands open a terminal, it will remain open after
the buffer is freed.
Solution: close terminals again later, this time while blocking autocommands.
Did consider terminal_open checking stuff like b_locked_split instead, but
that's set during BufHidden, etc., which doesn't mean the buffer's being wiped.
