Problem: Prompts and message text (in block mode) in the cmdline are
parsed and highlighted as if it is Vimscript.
Entering the cmdline while it is expanded can work more like
it does with UI1, where the press enter prompt is replaced
and previous messages stay on the message grid, while
subsequent messages are placed below it.
Solution: Highlight manually with string parser on lines starting with ':'.
Spoof cmdline block mode when the cmdline is entered while it
is expanded.
Problem: - Unintentionally inserting lines for a replaced multiline
message that also has multiple highlights.
- Scheduled check to see if the expanded cmdline window was
entered makes it difficult to keep track of what happens when
the key pressed to dismiss it results in a message.
- Reading the first line of an error message should be enough
notice for something going wrong.
- "search_cmd" messages should not be shown with 0 'cmdheight'.
- Unable to configure dynamically changed pager height.
- Enabling UI2 doesn't make sense with no UIs attached.
Solution: - Only insert a line for the first chunk after a newline.
- Use getmousepos() to check if the expanded cmdline was
clicked to enter the pager.
entering the pager to serve as a configuration interface.
- Don't expand the cmdline for error messages; user can press g<.
- Don't show "search_cmd" messages with 'cmdheight' set to 0.
- Change 'eventignorewin' to ensure WinEnter is fired when
- Have enable() return early when no UIs are attached.
Problem: Newlines emitted with ext_messages intended to position
the message/prompt on the message grid.
Solution: Don't emit these newlines with ext_messages, followup to 4260f73e.
Problem: The wildmenu is hidden behind the dialog window with "list" in 'wildmode'.
Global ('laststatus' set to 3) statusline is hidden behind the
pager window.
Solution: Check wildmenumode() to adjust the dialog position when necessary.
Ensure pager is positioned above the global statusline with 'laststus' set to 3.
Problem: Fast context for msg_show event inhibits vim.ui_attach from
displaying a stream of messages from a single command.
Solution: Remove fast context from msg_show events emitted as a result
of explicit API/command calls. The fast context was originally
introduced to prevent issues with internal messages.
Problem: When `vim._extui` is enabled, the default tabline shows an
incorrect window count (e.g., "2" when only 1 window is visible). This
happens because the extui pager window has `focusable=true` (needed for
user interaction) but `hide=true` (not visible by default).
Solution: Modify the window counting logic in `statusline.c` and
`ex_docmd.c:ex_tabs()` to also exclude hidden windows
(`wp->w_config.hide`), not just non-focusable windows.
Also updates test expectations in `cmdline2_spec.lua` which previously
expected the incorrect window count "2" when extui was enabled. The test
now correctly expects no window count indicator when only 1 visible
window exists.
Fixes#36759
Problem: Resize events during startup may clear an active external
cmdline, which is then not redrawn.
UI2 VimResized autocommand does not work.
UI2 message appearance may be altered by inherited window
options. The message separator uses the wrong fillchar.
Solution: Unset cmdline_was_last_redrawn when clearing the screen, such
that cmdline_show is re-emitted.
Ensure set_pos function is called without arguments.
Ensure such options are unset. Use 'fillchars'->msgsep.
Problem: Messages routed to the pager to be shown in full, enter the
pager automatically, yielding another "press-q-prompt".
Solution: Only enter the pager when requested explicitly. Otherwise,
close the pager on the next typed mapping, unless that mapping
entered the pager.
Problem: "cmdline_show" event may be emitted with an invalid cursor
position, causing a redraw that will clear the match highlight.
Solution: Mark the cursor position as valid so that a "cmdline_show"
callback that updates the screen does not clear the match highlight.
Problem: OptionSet autocmd emitted with invalid grids after entering
tabpage with different 'cmdheight'.
Solution: First call `tabpage_check_windows()` before changing 'cmdheight'.
Add a test that exercises the `vim._extui` cmdline.
