Problem:
- Lots of redundant text in options docs for "not allowed in
a modeline", even though we already have a flag that indicates that.
- `deny_in_modelines` is an old vestigial flag only used by 'encoding'
(which never changes).
Solution:
- Generate docs based on the `secure` flag.
- Remove the `deny_in_modelines` flag (`kOptFlagNoML`).
Problem:
Neovim's Node.js provider does not support the Bun package manager.
PR #26829 attempted to add this but used a hardcoded path and was abandoned.
Solution:
- Use `bun pm bin -g` to dynamically locate the global binary directory.
- Update `health.lua` to recognize bun installations.
Problem:
If `'keywordprg'` begins with `:`, `3K` turns the count into an Ex
range. Commands that don't support that then fail. Vim passes the count
as the first arg (see #19436, vim/vim#10745).
Solution:
Pass `[count]` as the first arg for `'keywordprg'`.
Problem: hlgroup2dict passes &ns_id to ns_get_hl twice. The first call
(link=true) sets *ns_hl = 0 when link_global is set, so the second call
and the sg_cleared guard both see ns_id == 0 and bail out. The group is
silently dropped from the result.
Solution: use a temporary copy of ns_id for each ns_get_hl call so the
original value is preserved.
Problem:
`:help dev-name-common` states that "buf" should be used instead of
"buffer" but there are cases where buffer is mentioned in the lua API.
Solution:
- Rename occurrences of "buffer" to "buf" for consistency with the
documentation.
- Support (but deprecate) "buffer" for backwards compatibility.

Problem: nvim_clear_autocmds() does not type check "event" correctly, and also
treats an empty array "event" like nil.
Solution: fix type checking. Treat empty array "event" as a no-op, like
nvim_exec_autocmds(). Add some extra tests.
Likewise the nil handling change may be considered breaking if anyone
(unintentionally) relied on that. It was also true that integer, function, etc.
"event"s would also be treated like nil!
Note that an empty string "event" is still an error, as that's must be an exact
match on an event name.
Problem: nvim_exec_autocmds() documentation incorrectly describes the default
for "pattern" as *, when it's actually the current file name (like :doautocmd).
Solution: correct it. Add a test.
Problem: in autocmd APIs, a non-nil "pattern" containing only empty
'sub'-patterns is silently treated as nil, causing the fallback value to be
unexpectedly used instead.
Solution: for nvim_create_autocmd(), raise a validation error (as no autocmds
would be created). For nvim_{exec,clear}_autocmds(), make it a no-op (as
matching no autocmds is not an error).
Problem:
The current LSP diagnostic implementation can't differ between a pull
diagnostic with no identifier and a set of diagnostics provided via push
diagnostics.
"Anonymous pull providers" are expected by the protocol https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#diagnosticOptions
, depending on how the capability was registered:
- Dynamic registrations have an identifier.
- Static registrations will not.
Solution:
Restore the `is_pull` argument removed in
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/37938, keeping the identifier of
pull diagnostic collections.
Problem: vim.VersionRange had no __eq metamethod, so comparing 2 distinct
but same value instances always returned false. In vim.pack.add this caused
redundant lockfile rewrites, even when the resulting lockfile content was
unchanged.
Solution: Add __eq metamethod on vim.VersionRange
Problem:
`vim.Range` and `vim.Pos` have signature mismatches on the docs of some functions.
Solution:
Split the "module" functions from the "class" functions (just like it's done in other modules like `vim.version`) and regenerate the docs.
Problem: No way of inspecting the (user-added) filetype detection rules.
Solution: Add `vim.filetype.inspect()` returning copies of the internal
`extension`, `filename`, `pattern` tables. Due to the dynamic nature of
filetype detection, this will in general not allow getting the list of
known filetypes, but at least one can see if a given extension is known.
Problem:
We normally get the background color via continuous reporting. However,
if we were backgrounded while the light/dark mode changed, we won't have
received the report, and we'll have the wrong background color.
Without this change, if you background nvim, toggle the light/dark mode,
resume, and check `:set bg`, it will not match the current state.
Solution:
Query it on resume as well. (This requires separating the query from the
flush, to just do the query along with all the others, while waiting to
flush until we've set up uv.)
With this change, if you background nvim, toggle the light/dark mode,
resume, and check `:set bg`, it will have updated.
Problem: `buf` is optional even though its needed to perform conversions
and the ordering of `(buf, row, col)` is not consistent.
Solution: make `buf` mandatory on `vim.range` and `vim.pos` and enforce
the `buf, row, col` ordering
Problem: runtime(zip): may write using absolute paths
(syndicate)
Solution: Detect this case and abort on Unix, warn in the documentation
about possible issues

Problem:
Running `:Open` on an open buffer does not run `vim.ui.open()` on that file, requiring the user to type `:Open %`. This is inconsistent with most other vim commands which accept files, which default to the current buffer's file.
Solution:
Default to the current file when `:Open` is used without arguments.
- Don't go over 78 columns.
- Change the first "and" to "or", as "or" is used below.
- Change "takes one" to "switches", as "one" may be mistaken as
referring to the command instead of the user.
- Use backticks in :h 'autowriteall' like in :h 'autowrite'.
closes: vim/vim#19859af58a9f5e9
Problem:
LSP error responses implicitly rely on a custom `__tostring` function
(`vim.lsp.rpc.format_rpc_error`) for formatting. This causes errors that are not
created via `vim.lsp.rpc.error` to behave inconsistently with those that are.
Furthermore, we usually use `log.error` to print these errors, which uses
`vim.inspect` under the hood, so the custom `__tostring` provides little
benefit.
This increases the difficulty of refactoring the code, as it tightly couples RPC
error handling with the LSP.
Solution:
Convert every potential `__tostring` call to an explicit one. Since we don't
describe this behavior in the documentation, this should not be a breaking
change.
Problem: tests: test_modeline.vim fails (after v9.2.0276)
Solution: Rewrite the tests to use the existing s:modeline_fails()
function, update documentation (zeertzjq).

Problem:
LSP jump operations such as `buf.definition`/`buf.type_definition` do
not follow the 'switchbuf' option. Instead their behavior is controlled
by `vim.lsp.LocationOpts.reuse_win`. When `reuse_win=true`, the effect
is very similar to `set switchbuf=useopen`.
Note that functions like `buf.definition` open the quickfix
window when there are multiple results, and jumping between quickfix
entries already follows 'switchbuf', so unifying the behavior is more
intuitive.
Solution:
Follow the 'switchbuf' option and drop `reuse_win`.
We can achieve this behavior by using :cfirst when the quickfix list has
only one item, rather than customizing the jump logic as before.
