Justin M. Keyes b351024daf build(docs): lint more quasi-keysets #39654
Problem:
Linter missed backtick and double-quote keynames in the quasi-keyset of
the `nvim_create_user_command` docstring.

Solution:
Update the linter to check backtick-surrounded and quote-surrounded key
names.

==============================================================================
BREAKING CHANGES *news-breaking*
These changes may require adaptations in your config or plugins.
API
• |nvim_create_autocmd()|, |nvim_exec_autocmds()| and |nvim_clear_autocmds()|
no longer treat an empty non-nil pattern as nil.
• |nvim_clear_autocmds()| no longer treats an empty array event as nil.
• |ui-messages| `msg_show.bufwrite` and `msg_show.completion` messages are now
`msg_show.progress` events.
DIAGNOSTICS
• `vim.diagnostic.Opts.Status.format` no longer accepts the table mapping
from severity to text. Use `vim.diagnostic.Opts.Signs.text` instead.
EDITOR
• On Windows, the |trust| db now stores paths with "/" slashes. This means the
trust store will be reset.
• `stdpath("log")` moved to `stdpath("state")/logs`.
EVENTS
• |BufModifiedSet| has been removed. Use the |OptionSet| event with pattern
"modified" instead.
LSP
• `client.attached_buffers[buf]` now stores `languageId` string (was boolean).

NEW FEATURES *news-features*
The following new features were added.
API
• |nvim_set_hl()| supports "font" key.
• |nvim_open_win()| `zindex` controls whether the UI will use a dimmed cursor
shape when an unfocused float is on top of the cursor.
• |nvim_echo()| distinguishes zero percent from omitted percent for Progress
events.
• |nvim_create_user_command()| accepts `desc` for Vimscript commands.
BUILD
• Building using "zig build" requires zig 0.16.x.
DEFAULTS
• todo
DIAGNOSTICS
• |vim.diagnostic.status()| uses the severity names defined by the `signs`
field of |vim.diagnostic.config()|, if any.
EDITOR
• |:command-completion-customlist| can return a list of dictionaries with
kind/menu/info/abbr for the popup menu.
• |gf| and |<cfile>| support `file://…` URIs.
• |:log| opens log files.
• |ZR| restarts Nvim (|:restart|).
• |:uptime| displays uptime.
EVENTS
• |:delmarks| now triggers the |MarkSet| autocommand with line==col==0, same
as |nvim_buf_del_mark()|
HIGHLIGHTS
• todo
LSP
• LSP capabilities:
• Completion supports `CompletionItem.preselect` if 'completeopt' has
"preselect". https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification/#completionClientCapabilities
• `textDocument/foldingRange` |vim.lsp.foldtext()| highlights collapsed text.
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification/#textDocument_foldingRange
• |vim.lsp.buf.declaration()|, |vim.lsp.buf.definition()|, |vim.lsp.buf.definition()|,
and |vim.lsp.buf.implementation()| now follows 'switchbuf'.
• Support for nested snippets.
LUA
• |vim.ui.img| can display images. Use `:checkhealth img` to confirm your
terminal supports it.
• |vim.net.request()| can specify custom headers by passing `opts.headers`.
• |vim.net.request()| can now accept `method` param overload for multiple HTTP methods.
• |writefile()| treats Lua strings as "blob", so it can be used to write
binary data.
• |vim.filetype.inspect()| returns a copy of the internal tables used for
filetype detection.
• Added `__eq` metamethod to |vim.VersionRange|. 2 distinct but representing
the same range instances now compare equal.
• Documentation for |vim.fn| now points to preferred Lua alternatives when
available.
• |vim.list.unique()| and |vim.list.bisect()| now support passing a string
as a shorthand of a `key`
• |vim.isnil()| tests if a value is `nil` or |vim.NIL|.
• |vim.nonnil()| returns the first argument which is not nil.
• |vim.npcall()| calls the function `fn` in protected-mode like |pcall()|,
but returns `nil` on error.
• |vim.pos| can now convert between positions and buffer offsets.
OPTIONS
• 'ttyfast' can be disabled during startup by setting the environment variable
`NVIM_NOTTYFAST` to disable automatic background detection.
• 'scrolloffpad' allows vertically centering cursor at the end of file.
• 'shortmess' flag |shm-u| silences undo/redo messages.
• 'winpinned' prevents window from closing unless specifically targeted.
PERFORMANCE
• |treesitter-highlight| performance on large injection-heavy files improves
by 50% to 100% by reusing edited child-tree ranges.
• Nvim architecture allows pure-Lua implementations of some `vim.fn`
functions, which skips the Vimscript <=> Lua "bridge" (no data
conversion/marshalling) entirely, if the `vim.fn` function is called from
Lua.
• The table holding LSP data is now cleared using `table.clear`,
thus reducing GC and memory reallocation during each data reset.
• When parsing the received Content-Length messages,
the RPC client will no longer allocate extra strings.
PLUGINS
• provider: add bun support for Node.js plugins
STARTUP
• todo
TERMINAL
• todo
TREESITTER
• |v_]N| |v_[N| expand selection to sibling treesitter node.
• |treesitter-highlight-conceal| can be removed by adding a `@noconceal`
capture.
• |vim.treesitter.select()| starts or adjusts a visual selection at cursor,
based on tree nodes.
TUI
• The TUI will re-query the terminal's background color when resuming from
a suspended state, and Nvim will update 'background' accordingly.
UI
• These builtin "picker" menus delegate to |vim.ui.select()|:
• :browse oldfiles
• |:recover|
• |:tselect|
• |z=| (spell suggest)
VIMSCRIPT
• |v:exitreason| is set before |QuitPre|.
• |v:starttime| is the process start time (nanoseconds since UNIX epoch).
• |v:useractive| indicates user activity.
• |serverlist()| with `info=true` returns details for each server (own + peers).
==============================================================================
CHANGED FEATURES *news-changed*
These existing features changed their behavior.
• |:Open| with no arguments uses the current file.
• The "buffer" key was renamed to "buf" in these functions (but the old name
"buffer" is still accepted, for backwards compatibility):
• |nvim_clear_autocmds()|
• |nvim_create_autocmd()|
• |nvim_exec_autocmds()|
• |nvim_get_autocmds()|
==============================================================================
REMOVED FEATURES *news-removed*
These deprecated features were removed.
• |vim.lsp.buf.declaration()|, |vim.lsp.buf.definition()|, |vim.lsp.buf.definition()|,
and |vim.lsp.buf.implementation()| no longer accept the `reuse_win` option.
