Problem:
BufModifiedSet autocmd only triggered for current buffer during
redraw, causing delayed events when :wa writes non-current buffers.
Solution:
- Use the aucmd_defer approach to implement `Optionset modified`.
- Drop BufModifiedSet.
Problem: A vim.ui_attach() callback that redraws to show a 'verbose'
regex message during 'incsearch' results in recusive redrawing.
Solution: Check that curwin was redrawn instead of just any window when

Problem: Several win_T fields are declared as "int" or "char" but are
used strictly as boolean flags with TRUE/FALSE values. The
integer types obscure the boolean intent and are wider than
needed.
Solution: Change the following win_T members to bool (stdbool.h) and
update their assignments from TRUE/FALSE to true/false
accordingly.
The following conversions have been done:
- int -> bool (10 members):
w_set_curswant, w_botfill, w_old_botfill, w_do_win_fix_cursor,
w_popup_fixed, w_border_highlight_isset, w_cline_folded,
w_redr_status, w_arg_idx_invalid, w_has_scrollbar
- char -> bool (4 members):
w_topline_was_set, w_ru_empty, w_fold_manual, w_foldinvalid
No existing code compares these members against TRUE/FALSE explicitly or
uses ++/-- / bitwise ops on them, so only plain assignments are
affected.
Excluded:
- w_locked (recursion counter with ++/--),
- w_want_scrollbar (may hold -1 from dict_get_bool),
- w_winbar_height (used in arithmetic and exposed as number via
getwininfo()).

Problem:
- Unable to "pin" a window to prevent closing without specifically
being targeted.
- :fclose closes hidden windows (even before visible windows).
Solution:
- Add 'winpinned' window-local option. When set, window is skipped by
:fclose and :only. Pin the ui2 cmdline window (which should always be
visible), so that it is not closed by :only/fclose.
- Skip over hidden (and pinned) windows with :fclose.

Problem: completion: complete_match() Vim script function and
'isexpand' option are not that useful and confusing
(after v9.1.1341)
Solution: Remove function and option and clean up code and documentation
(Girish Palya).
complete_match() and 'isexpand' add no real functionality to Vim. They
duplicate what `strridx()` already does, yet pretend to be part of the
completion system. They have nothing to do with the completion mechanism.
* `f_complete_match()` in `insexpand.c` does not call any completion code.
It’s just a `STRNCMP()` wrapper with fluff logic.
* `'isexpand'` exists only as a proxy argument to that function.
It does nothing on its own and amounts to misuse of a new option.
The following Vim script function can be used to implement the same
functionality:
```vim
func CompleteMatch(triggers, sep=',')
let line = getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1)
let result = []
for trig in split(a:triggers, a:sep)
let idx = strridx(line, trig)
if l:idx >= 0
call add(result, [idx + 1, trig])
endif
endfor
return result
endfunc

Problem: TextChangedT fires depending on whether Nvim needs to update_screen
while in terminal mode. This makes little sense as redraws can be completely
unrelated to the terminal. Also, TextChanged could be fired from changes in
terminal mode after returning to normal mode.
Solution: trigger it when b:changedtick changes, like other such events. Happens
when invalid cells are refreshed, though is no longer affected by cursor
changes. Don't fire TextChanged from changes in terminal mode after leaving.
Unlike the other TextChanged* events, I've elected to not have it be influenced
by typeahead. Plus, unlike when leaving insert mode when no TextChangedI events
are defined, I don't trigger TextChanged when returning to normal mode from
changes in terminal mode (is that a Vim bug?)
Curiously, Vim's TextChangedT is different; it's tied to its terminal cursor
redraws, which triggers pretty eagerly (but is unaffected by unrelated redraws)
- usually *twice* when data is sent to the terminal (regardless of whether it
causes any visible changes, like incomplete escape codes; wasn't true for Nvim).
Not clear to me how this event was actually intended to work, but this seems to
make the most sense to me.

Problem: not possible to anchor specific lines in diff mode
Solution: Add support for the anchoring lines in diff mode using the
'diffanchor' option (Yee Cheng Chin).
Adds support for anchoring specific lines to each other while viewing a
diff. While lines are anchored, they are guaranteed to be aligned to
each other in a diff view, allowing the user to control and inform the
diff algorithm what the desired alignment is. Internally, this is done
by splitting up the buffer at each anchor and run the diff algorithm on
each split section separately, and then merge the results back for a
logically consistent diff result.
To do this, add a new "diffanchors" option that takes a list of
`{address}`, and a new "diffopt" option value "anchor". Each address
specified will be an anchor, and the user can choose to use any type of
address, including marks, line numbers, or pattern search. Anchors are
sorted by line number in each file, and it's possible to have multiple
anchors on the same line (this is useful when doing multi-buffer diff).
Update documentation to provide examples.
This is similar to Git diff's `--anchored` flag. Other diff tools like
Meld/Araxis Merge also have similar features (called "synchronization
points" or "synchronization links"). We are not using Git/Xdiff's
`--anchored` implementation here because it has a very limited API
(it requires usage of the Patience algorithm, and can only anchor
unique lines that are the same across both files).
Because the user could anchor anywhere, diff anchors could result in
adjacent diff blocks (one block is directly touching another without a
gap), if there is a change right above the anchor point. We don't want
to merge these diff blocks because we want to line up the change at the
anchor. Adjacent diff blocks were first allowed when linematch was
added, but the existing code had a lot of branched paths where
line-matched diff blocks were handled differently. As a part of this
change, refactor them to have a more unified code path that is
generalized enough to handle adjacent diff blocks correctly and without
needing to carve in exceptions all over the place.

clarify complete_match() documentation to better explain its backward
search behavior, argument handling, and return value format and add an
example of isexpand
closes: https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/17212ffc89e47d0
Problem: Cannot define completion triggers and act upon it
Solution: add the new option 'isexpand' and add the complete_match()
function to return the completion matches according to the
'isexpand' setting (glepnir)
Currently, completion trigger position is determined solely by the
'iskeyword' pattern (\k\+$), which causes issues when users need
different completion behaviors - such as triggering after '/' for
comments or '.' for methods. Modifying 'iskeyword' to include these
characters has undesirable side effects on other Vim functionality that
relies on keyword definitions.
Introduce a new buffer-local option 'isexpand' that allows specifying
different completion triggers and add the complete_match() function that
finds the appropriate start column for completion based on these
triggers, scanning backwards from cursor position.
This separation of concerns allows customized completion behavior
without affecting iskeyword-dependent features. The option's
buffer-local nature enables per-filetype completion triggers.

Problem: Diff mode's inline highlighting is lackluster. It only
performs a line-by-line comparison, and calculates a single
shortest range within a line that could encompass all the
changes. In lines with multiple changes, or those that span
multiple lines, this approach tends to end up highlighting
much more than necessary.
Solution: Implement new inline highlighting modes by doing per-character
or per-word diff within the diff block, and highlight only the
relevant parts, add "inline:simple" to the defaults (which is
the old behaviour)
This change introduces a new diffopt option "inline:<type>". Setting to
"none" will disable all inline highlighting, "simple" (the default) will
use the old behavior, "char" / "word" will perform a character/word-wise
diff of the texts within each diff block and only highlight the
differences.
The new char/word inline diff only use the internal xdiff, and will
respect diff options such as algorithm choice, icase, and misc iwhite
options. indent-heuristics is always on to perform better sliding.
For character highlight, a post-process of the diff results is first
applied before we show the highlight. This is because a naive diff will
create a result with a lot of small diff chunks and gaps, due to the
repetitive nature of individual characters. The post-process is a
heuristic-based refinement that attempts to merge adjacent diff blocks
if they are separated by a short gap (1-3 characters), and can be
further tuned in the future for better results. This process results in
more characters than necessary being highlighted but overall less visual
noise.
For word highlight, always use first buffer's iskeyword definition.
Otherwise if each buffer has different iskeyword settings we would not
be able to group words properly.
The char/word diffing is always per-diff block, not per line, meaning
that changes that span multiple lines will show up correctly.
Added/removed newlines are not shown by default, but if the user has
'list' set (with "eol" listchar defined), the eol character will be be
highlighted correctly for the specific newline characters.
Also, add a new "DiffTextAdd" highlight group linked to "DiffText" by
default. It allows color schemes to use different colors for texts that
have been added within a line versus modified.
This doesn't interact with linematch perfectly currently. The linematch
feature splits up diff blocks into multiple smaller blocks for better
visual matching, which makes inline highlight less useful especially for
multi-line change (e.g. a line is broken into two lines). This could be
addressed in the future.
As a side change, this also removes the bounds checking introduced to
diff_read() as they were added to mask existing logic bugs that were
properly fixed in vim/vim#16768.

Problem: Since 3cb1e825, all windows with 'statuscolumn' set, and a
resized 'signcolumn' for a particular buffer are marked
to be fully redrawn when the first window is encountered.
The "resized" variable is only unset after all windows have
been drawn, so this results in windows that have just been
draw to be marked for redraw again, even though the
signcolumn did not change size again.
Solution: Replace the `resized` variable with a `last_max` variable that
is changed when the first window into buf is encountered.
Problem: _on_conceal_line callbacks are not invoked if callback has not
let Nvim know it wants to receive them. But this may change on
factors other than what is currently checked (changed buffer).
Solution: Forego this optimization, callback is still guarded behind
'conceallevel'.
TSHighlighter now places marks for conceal_lines metadata. A new
internal decor provider callback _on_conceal_line was added that
instructs the highlighter to place conceal_lines marks whenever the
editor needs to know whether a line is concealed. The bundled markdown
queries use conceal_lines metadata to conceal code block fence lines.
Problem: When calling an API from Vimscript to set an option, mapping,

not set when calling an API from RPC. Move channel id into
sctx_T to make saving and restoring easier.

Add the window-local 'eventignorewin' option that is analogous to

events that should be allowed in 'eventignorewin', adapt "auto_event"

onto apply_autocmds_group(), and when to ignore an event is a bit
ambiguous when "buf" is not "curbuf", rather than a large refactor, only
ignore an event when all windows into "buf" are ignoring the event.

Supersedes #28659
Co-authored-by: glepnir <glephunter@gmail.com>
Problem:
The way option scopes currently work is inflexible and does not allow for nested
option scopes or easily finding the value of an option at any arbitrary scope
without having to do long handwritten switch-case statements like in
`get_varp()`. `.indir` is also confusing and redundant since option indices for
each scope can be autogenerated.
Solution:
Expand option scopes in such a way that an option can support any amount of
scopes using a set of scope flags, similarly to how it's already done for option
types. Also make options contain information about its index at each scope it
supports. This allows for massively simplifying `get_varp()` and
`get_varp_scope()` in the future by just using a struct for options at each
scope. This would be done by creating a table that stores the offset of an
option's variable at a scope by using the option's index at that scope as a key.
This PR also autogenerates enums for option indices at each scope to remove the
need for `.indir` entirely, and also to allow easily iterating over options all
options that support any scope.
