Problem: The :keep{alt,jumps,marks,patterns} commmands are sometimes
misidentified as :k.
Solution: Make sure one_letter_cmd() only returns true for :k and not
other :keep* commands (Doug Kearns).
This currently manifests as missing completion for :keep* commands and
incorrect results from fullcommand().
E.g., fullcommand("keepmarks") returns "k" rather than "keepmarks".
The correct command, however, is executed as command modifiers are
handled specially in do_one_cmd() rather than using find_ex_command().
Fix exists(':k') so that it returns 2 for a full match.

Problem: cannot easily trigger wildcard expansion
Solution: Introduce wildtrigger() function
(Girish Palya)
This PR introduces a new `wildtrigger()` function.
See `:h wildtrigger()`
`wildtrigger()` behaves like pressing the `wildchar,` but provides a
more refined and controlled completion experience:
- Suppresses beeps when no matches are found.
- Avoids displaying irrelevant completions (like full command lists)
when the prefix is insufficient or doesn't match.
- Skips completion if the typeahead buffer has pending input or if a
wildmenu is already active.
- Does not print "..." before completion.
This is an improvement on the `feedkeys()` based autocompletion script
given in vim/vim#16759.

Problem: completion: search completion match may differ in case
(techntools)
Solution: add "exacttext" to 'wildoptions' value (Girish Palya)
This flag does the following:
exacttext
When this flag is present, search pattern completion
(e.g., in |/|, |?|, |:s|, |:g|, |:v|, and |:vim|)
shows exact buffer text as menu items, without
preserving regex artifacts like position
anchors (e.g., |/\<|). This provides more intuitive
menu items that match the actual buffer text. However,
searches may be less accurate since the pattern is not
preserved exactly.
By default, Vim preserves the typed pattern (with
anchors) and appends the matched word. This preserves
search correctness, especially when using regular
expressions or with 'smartcase' enabled. However, the
case of the appended matched word may not exactly
match the case of the word in the buffer.

Problem: When using `/` or `?` in command-line mode with 'ignorecase' and
'smartcase' enabled, the completion menu could show items that
don't actually match any text in the buffer due to case mismatches
Solution: Instead of validating menu items only against the user-typed
pattern, the new logic also checks whether the completed item
matches actual buffer content. If needed, it retries the match
using a lowercased version of the candidate, respecting
smartcase semantics.

Problem: When 'wildmode' is set to include "noselect", the popup menu (pum)
incorrectly retained its scroll position when reopened. This
meant that after scrolling down through the menu with `<C-n>`,
reopening the menu (e.g., by retyping the command and
triggering completion again) would show the menu starting from
the previously scrolled position, rather than from the top.
This could confuse users, as the first visible item would not
be the first actual match in the list.
Solution: Ensure that the popup menu resets its scroll position to the
top when reopened (Girish Palya).

Problem: 'wildchar' does not work in search contexts
Solution: implement search completion when 'wildchar' is typed
(Girish Palya).
This change enhances Vim's command-line completion by extending
'wildmode' behavior to search pattern contexts, including:
- '/' and '?' search commands
- ':s', ':g', ':v', and ':vim' commands
Completions preserve the exact regex pattern typed by the user,
appending the completed word directly to the original input. This
ensures that all regex elements — such as '<', '^', grouping brackets
'()', wildcards '\*', '.', and other special characters — remain intact
and in their original positions.
---
**Use Case**
While searching (using `/` or `?`) for lines containing a pattern like
`"foobar"`, you can now type a partial pattern (e.g., `/f`) followed by
a trigger key (`wildchar`) to open a **popup completion menu** showing
all matching words.
This offers two key benefits:
1. **Precision**: Select the exact word you're looking for without
typing it fully.
2. **Memory aid**: When you can’t recall a full function or variable
name, typing a few letters helps you visually identify and complete the
correct symbol.
---
**What’s New**
Completion is now supported in the following contexts:
- `/` and `?` search commands
- `:s`, `:g`, `:v`, and `:vimgrep` ex-commands
---
**Design Notes**
- While `'wildchar'` (usually `<Tab>`) triggers completion, you'll have
to use `<CTRL-V><Tab>` or "\t" to search for a literal tab.
- **Responsiveness**: Search remains responsive because it checks for
user input frequently.
---
**Try It Out**
Basic setup using the default `<Tab>` as the completion trigger:
```vim
set wim=noselect,full wop=pum wmnu
```
Now type:
```
/foo<Tab>
```
This opens a completion popup for matches containing "foo".
For matches beginning with "foo" type `/\<foo<Tab>`.
---
**Optional: Autocompletion**
For automatic popup menu completion as you type in search or `:`
commands, include this in your `.vimrc`:
```vim
vim9script
set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu
autocmd CmdlineChanged [:/?] CmdComplete()
def CmdComplete()
var [cmdline, curpos, cmdmode] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos(),
expand('<afile>') == ':']
var trigger_char = '\%(\w\|[*/:.-]\)$'
var not_trigger_char = '^\%(\d\|,\|+\|-\)\+$' # Exclude numeric range
if getchar(1, {number: true}) == 0 # Typehead is empty, no more
pasted input
&& !wildmenumode() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
&& (!cmdmode || (cmdline =~ trigger_char && cmdline !~
not_trigger_char))
SkipCmdlineChanged()
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "t")
timer_start(0, (_) => getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00', '',
'ge')->setcmdline()) # Remove <C-@>

Problem: cannot get information about command line completion
Solution: add CmdlineLeavePre autocommand and cmdcomplete_info() Vim
script function (Girish Palya)
This commit introduces two features to improve introspection and control
over command-line completion in Vim:
- Add CmdlineLeavePre autocmd event:
A new event triggered just before leaving the command line and before
CmdlineLeave. It allows capturing completion-related state that is
otherwise cleared by the time CmdlineLeave fires.
- Add cmdcomplete_info() Vim script function:
Returns a Dictionary with details about the current command-line
completion state.
These are similar in spirit to InsertLeavePre and complete_info(),
but focused on command-line mode.
**Use case:**
In [[PR vim/vim#16759](https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/16759)], two examples
demonstrate command-line completion: one for live grep, and another for
fuzzy file finding. However, both examples share two key limitations:
1. **Broken history recall (`<Up>`)**
When selecting a completion item via `<Tab>` or `<C-n>`, the original
pattern used for searching (e.g., a regex or fuzzy string) is
overwritten in the command-line history. This makes it impossible to
recall the original query later.
This is especially problematic for interactive grep workflows, where
it’s useful to recall a previous search and simply select a different
match from the menu.
2. **Lack of default selection on `<CR>`**
Often, it’s helpful to allow `<CR>` (Enter) to accept the first match
in the completion list, even when no item is explicitly selected. This
behavior is particularly useful in fuzzy file finding.
----
Below are the updated examples incorporating these improvements:
**Live grep, fuzzy find file, fuzzy find buffer:**
```vim

selected_match = info.selected != -1 ? info.matches[info.selected] : info.matches[0]
setcmdline(info.cmdline_orig). # Preserve search pattern in history
endif
endif
enddef
```
**Auto-completion snippet:**
```vim

autocmd CmdlineChanged : CmdComplete()
def CmdComplete()
var [cmdline, curpos] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos()]

feedkeys("\<C-@>", "ti")
SkipCmdlineChanged() # Suppress redundant completion attempts
# Remove <C-@> that get inserted when no items are available
timer_start(0, (_) => getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00', '', 'g')->setcmdline())

```
These customizable snippets can serve as *lightweight* and *native*
alternatives to picker plugins like **FZF** or **Telescope** for common,
everyday workflows. Also, live grep snippet can replace **cscope**

Problem: wildmenu highlighting in popup can be improved
Solution: Check if the completion items contain submatches of the

This update enables highlighting in the popup menu even when the matched
fragment or pattern appears within an item (string) rather than only at the
beginning. This is especially useful for custom completion, where menu items
may not always start with the typed pattern.
For specific use cases, refer to the two examples in
https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/16759
A sliding window approach is used with direct string comparison. Performance
is not a concern, as highlighting is applied only to displayed lines, even if
the menu list is arbitrarily long.

Problem: command-line auto-completion hard with wildmenu
Solution: implement "noselect" wildoption value (Girish Palya)
When `noselect` is present in `wildmode` and 'wildmenu' is enabled, the
completion menu appears without pre-selecting the first item.
This change makes it easier to implement command-line auto-completion,
where the menu dynamically appears as characters are typed, and `<Tab>`
can be used to manually select an item. This can be achieved by
leveraging the `CmdlineChanged` event to insert `wildchar(m)`,
triggering completion menu.
Without this change, auto-completion using the 'wildmenu' mechanism is
not feasible, as it automatically inserts the first match, preventing
dynamic selection.
The following Vimscript snippet demonstrates how to configure
auto-completion using `noselect`:
```vim
vim9script
set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu
autocmd CmdlineChanged : timer_start(0, function(CmdComplete, [getcmdline()]))
def CmdComplete(cur_cmdline: string, timer: number)
var [cmdline, curpos] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos()]
if cur_cmdline ==# cmdline # Avoid completing each character in keymaps and pasted text
&& !pumvisible() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
if cmdline[curpos - 2] =~ '[\w*/:]' # Reduce noise by completing only selected characters
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "ti")
set eventignore+=CmdlineChanged # Suppress redundant completion attempts
timer_start(0, (_) => {
getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00$', '', '')->setcmdline() # Remove <C-@> if no completion items exist
set eventignore-=CmdlineChanged
})
endif
endif

Signed-off-by: Tomas Slusny <slusnucky@gmail.com>
Problem: Although patch 9.1.0990 fixed a real problem/inconsistency,
it also introduced new behavior that may break BWC and/or be
unexpected. Before 9.1.0990, window commands could make the
topframe smaller (without changing 'cmdheight'; quirk that is
now fixed), but did not allow extending the topframe beyond
the 'cmdheight' set by the user. After 9.1.0990, the user can
reduce the 'cmdheight' below the value they set explicitly,
through window commands, which may lead to confusion.
(aftere v9.1.0990)
Solution: Store the value explicitly set by the user and clamp the
'cmdheight' when resizing the topframe. This also applies to
dragging laststatus, which in contrast to window commands
_did_ allow reducing the 'cmdheight' to values below the one
set by the user. So with this patch there is still new
behavior, but I think in a way that is less surprising.

Problem:
There are three different ways of marking an option as hidden, `enable_if
= false`, `hidden = true` and `immutable = true`. These also have different
behaviors. Options hidden with `enable_if = false` can't have their value
fetched using Vim script or the API, but options hidden with `hidden = true` or
`immutable = true` can. On the other hand, options with `hidden = true` do not
error when trying to set their value, but options with `immutable = true` do.
Solution:
Remove `enable_if = false`, remove the `hidden` property for options, and use
`immutable = true` to mark an option as hidden instead. Also make hidden option
variable pointers always point to the default value, which allows fetching the
value of every hidden option using Vim script and the API. This does also mean
that trying to set a hidden option will now give an error instead of just being
ignored.

Problem: buffer-completion code too complicated and does not always
find all matches (irisjae)
Solution: do not try to anchor pattern to beginning of line or
directory-separator, always return all matches
Note: we are considering the non-fuzzy buffer-matching here.
Currently, the buffer-completion code makes 2 attempts to match a
pattern against the list of available patterns. First try is to match
the pattern and anchor it to either the beginning of the file name or
at a directory-separator (// or \\).
When a match is found, Vim returns the matching buffers and does not try
to find a match anywhere within a buffer name. So if you have opened two
buffers like /tmp/Foobar.c and /tmp/MyFoobar.c using `:b Foo` will only
complete to the first filename, but not the second (the same happens
with `getcompletion('Foo', 'buffer')`).
It may make sense, that completion priorities buffer names at directory
boundaries, but it inconsistent, may cause confusion why a certain
buffer name is not completed when typing `:b Foo<C-D>` which returns
only a single file name and then pressing Enter (to switch to that
buffer), Vim will error with 'E93: More than one match for Foo').
Similar things may happen when wiping the /tmp/Foobar.c pattern and
afterwards the completion starts completing other buffers.
So let's simplify the code and always match the pattern anywhere in the
buffer name, do not try to favor matches at directory boundaries. This
is also simplifies the code a bit, we do not need to run over the list
of buffers several times, but only twice.

Problem: Autocmds triggered from opening the cmdwin (in win_split and
do_ecmd) can cause issues such as E199, as the current checks
are insufficient.
Solution: Commands executed from the cmdwin apply to the old curwin/buf,
so they should be kept in a "suspended" state; abort if
they've changed. Also abort if cmdwin/buf was tampered with,
and check that curwin is correct. Try to clean up the cmdwin
buffer (only if hidden and non-current to simplify things; the
same approach is used when closing cmdwin normally), and add a
beep. (Sean Dewar)
Rename the old Test_cmdwin_interrupted() like in the patch (can be moved to
test_cmdwin.vim when v9.0.0027 is ported).
Move the error message to `e_active_window_or_buffer_changed_or_deleted`.

Problem: default diff highlighting is too noisy
Solution: Link diff highlighting groups to new
Added/Removed/Changed, revert previous change
(Romain Lafourcade)
Remove diff* links added in vim/vim#13776 and doc added in commit b1392be
The links added in vim/vim#13776 are way too noisy for the contexts in which
the `diff` syntax is applied (git commits, patches, etc.).
This commit:
- removes those links
- adds new default highlighting groups Added, Changed and
Removed
- links the diff highlighting groups to those new defaults
- removes the doc changes
- adjusts the syntax_completion test for those newly added group
names
Note: Changes to the default color schemes will be handled separately,
by adding links to those newly created Added/Removed/Changed
highlighting groups.
