fix(ui): ui.open() modifies opts.cmd #41885

2026-09-24T18:26:17+00:00

Problem:
ui.open() appends the path to the caller's opts.cmd, so reusing the
opts opens previously supplied paths again.

Solution:
Copy opt.cmd before appending the path.

fix(url): escape cmd.exe special chars in vim.ui.open() URL #41394

2026-08-22T14:49:55+00:00

Problem:
On Windows, vim.ui.open() passes URLs to `cmd.exe /c start`. cmd.exe
treats `&` as a command separator, so query strings are truncated.

Solution:
Caret-escape `&|<>^%!` in URIs when the open handler is cmd.exe.

test(harness): migrate away from magic globals

2026-07-21T11:22:39+00:00

Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.

- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
  merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
  "know" about the various magic symbols.

So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.

Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
  `t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.

feat(ui): use vim.ui.select for :tselect, z= #39478

2026-04-28T22:29:17+00:00

Problem:
`:tselect` and `z=` (spell suggest) have their own bespoke select menus.

Solution:
- Delegate to `vim.ui.select` instead.
- Bonus:
  - `:tselect` gains mouse support. `print_tag_list` didn't suport mouseclick.

This causes some minor regressions, which are not blockers:

- `z=` no longer draws the list right-left if 'rightleft' is set.
  - TODO: can/should `vim.ui.select` / `vim.fn.inputlist()` handle that?
- `:tselect`
  - No "column" headings (`# pri kind tag file`).
  - No highlighting: (HLF_T: tag name, HLF_D: file, HLF_CM: extra fields).
  - TODO: can `vim.ui.select()` support highlighted chunks (`[[text, hl_id], ...]`) ?

fix(help): wrong tag url in third-party help docs #36115

2025-10-12T22:08:18+00:00

fix(help): only set url for nvim-owned tags

Problem:
1. gx on |nonexistingtag| opens
https://neovim.io/doc/user/helptag.html?nonexistingtag.
2. b:undo_ftplugin doesn't remove url extmarks.

Solution:
1. Check if the tag is defined in a help file in $VIMRUNTIME.
2. Solution: clear namespace for buffer in b:undo_ftplugin.
