Problem:
On Windows, "gf" fails on a filepath that has a line:column suffix.
Example:
E447: Can't find file "src/app/core/services/identity/identity.service.ts:64:23"
Solution:
- Remove ":" from 'isfname' on Windows. Colon is not a valid filename
character (except for the drive-letter).
- Handle drive letters specially in file_name_in_line().
Fixes#25160
Problem:
The swapfile "E325: ATTENTION" dialog is displayed when editing a file
already open in another (running) Nvim. Usually this behavior is
annoying and irrelevant:
- "Recover" and the other options ("Open readonly", "Quit", "Abort") are
almost never wanted.
- swapfiles are less relevant for "multi-Nvim" since 'autoread' is
enabled by default.
- Even less relevant if user enables 'autowrite'.
Solution:
Define a default SwapExists handler which does the following:
1. If the swapfile is owned by a running Nvim process, automatically
chooses "(E)dit anyway" (caveat: this creates a new, extra swapfile,
which is mostly harmless and ignored except by `:recover` or `nvim -r`.
2. Shows a 1-line "ignoring swapfile..." message.
3. Users can disable the default SwapExists handler via `autocmd! nvim_swapfile`.
A lot of updated places in the docs were already incorrect since long
since they did not reflect the default behaviour.
"[dos format]" could've been argued being better for discoverability
but that ship has already sailed as it is no longer displayed by default.
Oldtests clean up after themselves, and the options that need operators
to align with Vim all deny duplicates, so there is no need to set them
to default.
Also make the variable name that test_listchars.vim uses to align with
Vim more obvious.
Not everything needs to be crazy overconfigurable.
Also fixes a warning in latest clang which didn't approve of
the funky math switch statement in append_arg_number
Problem: SafeState may be triggered at the wrong moment.
Solution: Move it up higher to after where messages are processed. Add a
SafeStateAgain event to tigger there.

SafeStateAgain is N/A.
Move SafeState functions to state.c.

Problem: '.-' no allowed in highlight group names
Solution: Allow dot and hyphen characters in highlight group names
Allow dots and hyphens in group names. There does not seem
to be any reason for these to be disallowed.

Problem: Temporarily changing current window in a script causes
CursorMoved to be triggerd.
Solution: Don't trigger CursorMoved if neither curwin nor cursor
changed between two checks.
Problem:
Nvim docs use "•" as a list item prefix but `gw{motion}` doesn't format
such lists by default.
Solution:
Change the 'comments' option to include "fb:•" by default.
Problem:
The parent commit added a new vim.get_visual_selection() function to
improve visual star. But that is redundant with vim.region(). Any
current limitations of vim.region() should be fixed instead of adding
a new function.
Solution:
Delete vim.get_visual_selection().
Use vim.region() to get the visual selection.
TODO: fails with visual "block" selections.
Problem:
Visual mode "*", "#" mappings don't work on text with "/", "\", "?", and
newlines.
Solution:
Get the visual selection and escape it as a search pattern.
Add functions vim.get_visual_selection and _search_for_visual_selection.
Fix#21676
Enforce consistent terminology (defined in
`gen_help_html.lua:spell_dict`) for common misspellings.
This does not spellcheck English in general (perhaps a future TODO,
though it may be noisy).
- quickstart
- mark lsp.txt as `new_layout`
- remove lsp-handler documentation for notifications: they don't have
handlers because they don't have server responses.

- docs: mention --luadev-mod to run with lua runtime files
When changing a lua file in the ./runtime folder, a new contributor
might expect changes to be applied to the built Neovim binary.
The options 'path', 'include', and 'define' all use C-specific default
values. This may have made sense a long time ago when Vim was mostly
used just for writing C, but this is no longer the case, and we have
ample support for filetype specific configuration. Make the default
values of these options empty and move the C-specific values into a
filetype plugin where they belong.

Problem:
Completion messages such as "scanning tags" are noisy and generally not
useful on most systems. Most users probably aren't aware that this is
configurable.
Solution:
Set `shortmess+=C`.
Vimball is an outdated feature that is rarely used these days. It is not
a maintenance burden on its own, but it is nonetheless dead weight and
something we'd need to tell users to ignore when they inevitably ask
what it is.
See: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/21369#issuecomment-1347615173
existing behavior of
:=
and
:[range]=
are unchanged. `|` is still allowed with this usage.
However,
:=p
and similar are changed in a way which could be construed as a breaking
change. Allowing |ex-flags| for := in the first place was a mistake as
any form of := DOES NOT MOVE THE CURSOR. So it would print one line number
and then print a completely different line contents after that.
we cannot remove 'paste'. It is very common in plugins and configs.
'pastetoggle' can and should be removed though, it's a total waste of everyone's time because it generates bug reports and doesn't work well, and is useless because bracketed-paste works better.
Problem:
If vim_tempdir mysteriously goes missing (typically by "antivirus" on
Windows), any plugins using tempname() will be broken for the rest of
the session. #1432#9833https://groups.google.com/g/vim_use/c/ef55jNm5czI
Steps:
mkdir foo
TMPDIR=./foo nvim
:echo tempname()
!rm -r foo
:echo tempname()
tempname() still uses the foo path even though it was deleted.
Solution:
- Don't assume that vim_tempdir exists.
- If it goes missing once, retry vim_mktempdir and log (silently) an error.
- If it goes missing again, retry vim_mktempdir and show an error.
Rejected in Vim for performance reasons:

But, logging shows that `vim_gettempdir` is not called frequently.

This feature has long been obsolete. The 'keymap' option can be used
to support language keymaps, including hebrew and hebrewp (phonetic
mapping). There is no need to keep the old c code with hardcoded
keymaps for some languages.
