Problem: The registerCapability handler re-enables document_color,
making it impossible to disable it in LspAttach.
Solution: Enable it once on initialization and avoid re-enabling
on registerCapability.
- If tick == 0 at the last chunk, the first :echo will print an empty
string, which isn't really helpful, and may cause :redraw to move
cursor to the message area for 'showmode'.
- If tick > 0 at the last chunk, there'll be another :echo that prints
an empty string immediately after the :redraw.
This also fixes the following warning in tests with ASAN or TSAN:

Problem: There is no way to ensure a stable key order when encoding a JSON string,
which can be useful for comparisons and producing cleaner diffs.
Solution: Introduce a `sort_keys` option for `vim.json.encode()`,which
is disabled by default. When enabled, object keys are sorted in
alphabetical order.
Problem:
LSP logs show misleading "cannot start" messages when editing a filetype
NOT listed in the `config.filetypes` field.
[ERROR][2025-09-13 18:55:56] …/runtime//lua/vim/lsp/log.lua:151
"cannot start cssls due to config error: …/runtime//lua/vim/lsp.lua:423:
cmd: expected expected function or table with executable command,
got table: 0x0104701b18. Info: vscode-css-language-server is not executable"
Solution:
- `can_start`: check `config.filetypes` before checking the rest of the
config.
Problem:
Multigrid UIs have to find out which window to send the input by using
the Nvim focus rules, which are not fully documented.
Furthermore,`getmousepos()` has several problems when multigrid is
enabled, with the main one being that screenrow and screencol are window
relative instead of screen relative, due to the fact that the UI don't
send any absolute coordinates.
Solution:
Allow passing 0 as grid to `nvim_input_mouse`, with absolute
coordinates, which lets nvim determine the actual window to send the
mouse input to. This works as long as nvim is in charge of the window
positioning. If the UI repositions or resizes the windows, it can still
pass the grid it determines like before.
Problem: First clean start with config containing multiple
`vim.pack.add()` calls requires to explicitly confirm each one.
Although usually a rare occurrence, it still might be tedious.
Solution: Add a third choice during installation confirmation that
approves current and all next installs within current session. It is
reset after session restart.
Problem: defaults: 'diffopt' option value can be improved
Solution: Update diffopt defaults to include "indent-heuristic" and
"inline:char" (Yee Cheng Chin)
The default diff options have not been updated much despite new
functionality having been added to Vim.
- indent-heurstic: This has been enabled by default in Git since
33de716387 in 2017. Given that Vim uses xdiff from Git, it makes sense
to track the default configuration from Git.
- inline:char: This turns on character-wise inline highlighting which is
generally much better than the default inline:simple. It has been
implemented since vim/vim#16881 and we have not seen reports of any issues
with it, and it has received good feedbacks.

Problem: completion: preinserted text highlighed using ComplMatchIns
Solution: Use highlighting group PreInsert and update the documentation
(Girish Palya).
When "preinsert" is included in 'completeopt', only the PreInsert
highlight group should be applied, whether autocompletion is active or not.
Previously, ComplMatchIns was used when autocompletion was not enabled.

This partially reverts 0b8a72b739,
that is unreverts 15e77a56b7
"priority" is an internal neovim concept which does not occur in shared
queries. Ideally a single priority space should eventually be enough
for our needs. But as we don't want to poke at the usages of
priorities right now in the wider ecosystem,
introduce the "subpriorities" so that treesitter code can distinguish
highlights of the same priorities with different tree nesting depth.
This mainly affects `injection.combined` as parent-tree nodes might appear
in the middle of child-tree nodes which otherwise is not possible.
Continuing the work of #31400
That PR allowed the provider to be invoked multiple times per line.
We want only to do that when there actually is more data later on the
line. Additionally, we want to skip over lines which contain no new
highlight items. The TS query cursor already tells us what the next
position with more data is, so there is no need to reinvoke the range
callback before that.
NB: this removes the double buffering introduced in #32619 which
is funtamentally incompatible with this (nvim core is supposed to keep
track of long ranges by itself, without requiring a callback reinvoke
blitz). Need to adjust the priorities some other way to fix the same issue.
Problem: complete: preinsert does not work well with preinsert
Solution: Make "preinsert" completeopt value work with autocompletion
(Girish Palya)
This change extends Insert mode autocompletion so that 'preinsert' also
works when 'autocomplete' is enabled.
Try: `:set ac cot=preinsert`
See `:help 'cot'` for more details.

Problem: Some environment variables which are useful when working inside
a bare repository can affect any Git operation.
Solution: Explicitly unset problematic environment variables.
Problem:
There is no straightforward way to pretty-print objects as JSON.
The existing `vim.inspect` outputs LON.
Solution:
Introduce an `indent` option for `vim.json.encode()` which enables
human-readable output with configurable indentation.
Adapts PR to upstream: openresty/lua-cjson#114
Problem:
Force resolve `spec.version` overrides the information about whether
a user supplied `version` or not. Knowing it might be useful in some use
cases (like comparing to previously set `spec` to detect if it has
changed).
Solution:
Do not resolve `spec.version`. This also improves speed when triggering
events and calling `get()`.
- Place default branch first when listing all branches.
- Use correct terminology in `get_hash` helper.
- Do not return `{ '' }` if there are no tags.
Problem:
There is no way to get more information about installed plugins, like
current revision or default branch (necessary if resolving default
`spec.version` manually). As computing Git data migth take some time,
also allow `get()` to limit output to only necessary set of plugins.
Solution:
- introduce arguments to `get(names, opts)`, which follows other
`vim.pack` functions. Plugin extra info is returned by default and
should be opt-out via `opts.info = false`.
- Examples:
- Get current revision: `get({ 'plug-name' })[1].rev`
- Get default branch: `get({ 'plug_name' })[1].branches[1]`
- `update()` and `del()` act on plugins in the same order their names
are supplied. This is less surprising.
- default `opts.info` to `true` since this simplifies logic for the
common user, while still leaving the door open for a faster `get()` if
needed.
Problem: The document of nvim_buf_get_extmark currently lacks the
following:
- "details" directory: nvim_buf_get_extmarks() allows an option details
to get a "details" directory in result, but it doesn't mention where
that "details" directory is, what fields does it have.
Solution: Add docs for "details" directory in nvim_buf_get_extmarks()
Problem: Progress reports use plain `nvim_echo()` with manually
constructed messages and populate history on every call.
Solution: Use `nvim_echo()` with newly added `kind=progress` which (at
least for now) is meant to be a unified interface for showing progress
report. Also save in history only first and last progress report
messages.
Problem: filetype: .inc file detection can be improved
Solution: Update filetype detection for Pascal and BitBake code
(Martin Schwan).
Fix the detection of .inc files containing Pascal and BitBake code:
- the concatenated string, merged from three lines, only contains one
beginning and the pattern "^" would not match as expected. Use a range()
loop to iterate each line string individually. This way, the pattern "^"
works for beginning of lines.
- improve BitBake include file detection by also matching forward-slashes
"/" in variable names and assignment operators with a dot ".=" and "=.".
Valid examples, which should match, are:
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-yocto"
MACHINEOVERRIDES =. "qemuall:"
BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"
- parse twenty instead of just three lines, to accommodate for potential
comments at the beginning of files

- Problem: It's not clear for new plugin developers that `:help` uses
a help-tags file for searching the docs, generated by `:helptags`.
- Solution: Hint to the |:helptags| docs for regenerating the tags
file for their freshly written documentation.

Problem:
The callback passed to `vim.wait` cannot return results directly, it
must set upvalues or globals.
local rv1, rv2, rv3
local ok = vim.wait(200, function()
rv1, rv2, rv3 = 'a', 42, { ok = { 'yes' } }
return true
end)
Solution:
Let the callback return values after the first "status" result.
local ok, rv1, rv2, rv3 = vim.wait(200, function()
return true, 'a', 42, { ok = { 'yes' } }
end)
Problem: filetype: fvwm2m4 files are no longer recognized
(after 9.1.1687).
Solution: Add a special case in m4 filetype detection (zeertzjq).
