vim-patch:9.1.1276: inline word diff treats multibyte chars as word char (#33323)
Problem: inline word diff treats multibyte chars as word char (after 9.1.1243) Solution: treat all non-alphanumeric characters as non-word characters (Yee Cheng Chin) Previously inline word diff simply used Vim's definition of keyword to determine what is a word, which leads to multi-byte character classes such as emojis and CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) characters all classifying as word characters, leading to entire sentences being grouped as a single word which does not provide meaningful information in a diff highlight. Fix this by treating all non-alphanumeric characters (with class number above 2) as non-word characters, as there is usually no benefit in using word diff on them. These include CJK characters, emojis, and also subscript/superscript numbers. Meanwhile, multi-byte characters like Cyrillic and Greek letters will still continue to considered as words. Note that this is slightly inconsistent with how words are defined elsewhere, as Vim usually considers any character with class >=2 to be a "word". related: vim/vim#16881 (diff inline highlight) closes: vim/vim#17050 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/9aa120f7ada592ed03b37f4de8ee413c5385f123 Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>
