Adds a new feature to :autocmd which sets the handler to be executed at
most one times.
Before:
augroup FooGroup
autocmd!
autocmd FileType foo call Foo() | autocmd! FooGroup * <buffer>
augroup END
After:
autocmd FileType foo once call Foo()
Why?
- Because we can.
- Because the TUI is just another GUI™
- Because it looks kinda nice, and provides useful context like 1 out of 100
times
Complies with "don't pay for what you don't use".
Some crashes for resizing were unfolded, add tests for those.
Using 'listchars' is a nice way to highlight tabs that were included by accident
for buffers that set 'expandtab'.
But maybe one does not want this for buffers that set 'noexpandtab', so now one
can use:
autocmd FileType go let &l:listchars .= ',tab: '
Decide whether to highlight the visual-selected character under the
cursor, depending on 'guicursor' style:
- Highlight if cursor is blinking or non-block (vertical, horiz).
- Do NOT highlight if cursor is non-blinking block.
Traditionally Vim's visual selection does "reverse mode", which perhaps
conflicts with the non-blinking block cursor. But 'guicursor' defaults
to a vertical bar for selection=exclusive, and this confuses users who
expect to see the text highlighted.

By historical accident, Nvim defaults to background=light. So on a dark
background, `:colorscheme default` looks completely wrong.
The "smart" logic that Vim uses is confusing for anyone who uses Vim on
multiple platforms, so rather than mimic that, pick the (hopefully) most
common default.
- Since Neovim is dark-powered, we assume most users have dark backgrounds.
- Most of the GUIs tend to have a dark background by default.

This implements the compromise described in #7383:
* low-priority CursorLine if foreground is not set
* high-priority ("same as Vim" priority) CursorLine if foreground is set

This changes Ex mode (Q, -e) to work like Vim's "improved Ex mode"
(gQ, -E). That brings some small behavior differences, but should not
impact most Ex scripts (unless, for example, they depend on mappings
being disabled--but that can be solved for -e by skipping user config).
Before this change:
* the screen test hangs.
After this change:
* Q acts like gQ.
* -e/-es differs from -E/-Es only in its treatment of stdin.
This moves towards potentially removing getexmodeline().
(HINT: That does NOT mean "removing Ex mode", it means removing the
Vi-compatible Ex mode, which differs from Vim's "improved Ex mode" only
in some minor details (e.g. mappings are disabled).)
ref #1089 :-)~
Fixes 2 failing tests in startup_spec.lua.
The Windows-only `--literal` option complicates support of "stdin-as-text
+ file-args" (#7679). Could work around it, but it's not worth
the trouble:
- users have a reasonable (and englightening) alternative: nvim +"n *"
- "always literal" is more consistent/predictable
- avoids platform-specific special-case
Unrelated changes:
- Replace fileno(stdxx) with STDXX_FILENO for consistency (not motivated
by any observed technical reason).
After this change we never release blocks from memory (in practice it
never happened because the memory limits are never reached). Let the OS
take care of that.
---
On today's systems the 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' values are huge (4+ GB)
so the limits are never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of
time checking if the limit was reached.
If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in
memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own
memory-paging mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the
operating system already has virtual memory and will swap to the disk if
programs start using too much memory.
This change does...
1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation.
2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory
usage nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping
to disk every time we need memory for buffers.
3. Simplify the code. Once memfile.c is simple enough it could be
replaced by actual operating system memory mapping (mmap,
MemoryViewOfFile...). This change does not prevent Vim to recover
changes from swap files since the swapping code is never triggered
with the huge limits set by default.
Update vim_diff.txt with :lmap differences, update documentation on
'keymap', and add tests.
The tests added are to demonstrate the behaviour specified in the
documentation of :loadkeymap.
Most fonts should have these by now. Both are a significant visual
improvement.

- Middle dot `·` works on Windows 7 cmd.exe, nvim-qt.exe.

This is like Vim's `:set termcap`, which was removed in Nvim (and would
be very awkward to restore because of the decoupled UI).
Since "builtin" terminfo definitions were implemented (7cbf52db1b),
the decisions made by tui.c and terminfo.c are more relevant. Exposing
that decision in the 'term' option helps with troubleshooting.
Also: remove code that allowed setting t_Co. `:set t_Co=…` has never
worked; the highlight_spec test asserting that nvim_set_option('t_Co')
_does_ work makes no sense, and should not have worked.
