The details are in the on-line help under :help cursor-shape .
The brief precis is that nvim is following the lead of tmux, and going
beyond what tmux does to make cursor shape changes work on a broad range of
terminals. This includes on tmux itself, which is no longer bypassed.
Reverts commit 337b6179dfCloses#6716 at the expense of not being able to use a
multi-key 'pastetoggle' manually.
Multi-key 'pastetoggle' can still be used when inserting the entire
option into the typebuffer at once (though the use here is
questionable).
Also remove those tests to do with waiting for the completion of
'pastetoggle' and mention in the documentation that 'pastetoggle'
doesn't wait for timeout.
Calling cmd.exe in Windows follows a very different pattern from Vim.
The primary difference is that Vim does a nested call to cmd.exe, e.g.
the following call in Vim
system('echo a 2>&1')
spawns the following processes
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\vimrun" -s C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIoC169.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2>&1
>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2>&1)
The escaping with ^ is needed because cmd.exe calls itself and needs to
preserve the special metacharacters for the last call. However in nvim
no nested call is made, system('') spawns a single cmd.exe process.
Setting shellxescape to "" disables escaping with ^.
The previous default for shellxquote=( wrapped any command in
parenthesis, in Vim this is more meaningful due to the use of tempfiles
to store the output and redirection (also see &shellquote). There is
a slight benefit in having the default be empty because some expressions
that run in console will not run within parens e.g. due to unbalanced
double quotes

On today's systems these values are huge (4GB in my machine with 8GB of RAM
since it's set as half the available memory by default) so the limits are
never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of time checking if the limit
was reached.
If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in
memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own memory
swapping mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the operating
system already virtualized the memory and will swap to the disk if programs
start using too much memory.
This change does...
1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation.
2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory usage
nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping to disk every
time we need memory for buffers.
3. Simplify the code. Once `memfile.c` is simple enough it could be replaced by
actual operating system memory mapping (`mmap`, `MemoryViewOfFile`...).
This change does not prevent Vim to recover changes from swap files since the
swapping code is never triggered with the huge limits set by default.
Adds os_strerror() result to a number of places. Also since I could not track
where err\* variables are NULL and where they are not, using macros to make sure
that all three variables are set at once.
Removes #ifdef UNIX around the use of os_fsync, makes it use os_close in place
of close in some places.
For now only supports valid hex colors (does not check for the validity
the hex color) when termguicolors is set, otherwise it won't attempt to
change the cursor color.
Make the 'scrollback' option work like most other buffer-local options:
- `:set scrollback=x` sets the global and local value
- `:setglobal scrollback=x` sets only the global default
- new terminal buffers inherit the global
Normal buffers are still always -1, and :setlocal there is an error.
Closes#6337
Problem: 'formatprg' is a global option but the value may depend on the
type of buffer. (Sung Pae)
Solution: Make 'formatprg' global-local. (closesvim/vim#1380)

- Vim "unix default" of 'noshowcmd' is serving few users. And it's
inconsistent.
- 'ruler' and 'belloff=all' improve the out-of-the-box experience.
- Continue to use 'noshowcmd' and 'noruler' by default in the functional
tests to keep them fast.
TODO: Add a "disable slow stuff" command or mapping to address the
use-case of a very slow terminal connection.
Problem: There is no equivalent of 'smartcase' for a tag search.
Solution: Add value "followscs" and "smart" to 'tagcase'. (Christian
Brabandt, closesvim/vim#712) Turn tagcase test into new style.
