*news.txt*    Nvim


                            NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL


Notable changes in Nvim 0.10 from 0.9                                    *news*

For changes in Nvim 0.9, see |news-0.9|.

                                       Type |gO| to see the table of contents.

==============================================================================
BREAKING CHANGES                                                *news-breaking*

The following changes may require adaptations in user config or plugins.

• |vim.tbl_islist()| now checks whether a table is actually list-like (i.e.,
  has integer keys without gaps and starting from 1). For the previous
  behavior (only check for integer keys, allow gaps or not starting with 1),
  use |vim.tbl_isarray()|.

• "#" followed by a digit no longer stands for a function key at the start of
  the lhs of a mapping.

• `:behave` was removed.
  - If you used `:behave xterm`, the following is equivalent: >vim

    set mousemodel=extend
<
  - If you used `:behave mswin`, the following is equivalent: >vim

    set selection=exclusive
    set selectmode=mouse,key
    set mousemodel=popup
    set keymodel=startsel,stopsel
<
• When switching windows, |CursorMoved| autocommands trigger when Nvim is back
  in the main loop rather than immediately. This is more compatible with Vim.

• |-l| ensures output ends with a newline if the script prints messages and
  doesn't cause Nvim to exit.

• |LspRequest| and LspProgressUpdate (renamed to |LspProgress|) autocmds were
  promoted from a |User| autocmd to first class citizen.

• Renamed `vim.treesitter.playground` to `vim.treesitter.dev`.

• Removed functions from the |vim.json| module:
  • Unnecessary, undocumented functions which caused global side-effects.
  • `vim.json.null` is redundant with `vim.NIL`.
  • `vim.json.array_mt` (and related) is redundant with `vim.empty_dict()`.

• Removed some Vim 5.0<= option compatibilities:
  • |'backspace'| no longer supports number values. Instead:
    • for `backspace=0` set `backspace=` (empty)
    • for `backspace=1` set `backspace=indent,eol`
    • for `backspace=2` set `backspace=indent,eol,start` (default behavior in Nvim)
    • for `backspace=3` set `backspace=indent,eol,nostop`
  • paths in |'backupdir'|, |'path'| and |'cdpath'| can no longer be separated with
    spaces (but paths themselves may contain spaces now).
  • |'directory'| will no longer remove a `>` at the start of the option.

• |LanguageTree:parse()| will no longer parse injections by default and
  now requires an explicit range argument to be passed. If injections are
  required, provide an explicit range via `parser:parse({ start_row, end_row })`.

==============================================================================
NEW FEATURES                                                    *news-features*

The following new APIs and features were added.

• Performance:
  • 'diffopt' "linematch" scoring algorithm now favours larger and less groups
    https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/23611
  • Treesitter highlighting now parses injections incrementally during
    screen redraws only for the line range being rendered. This significantly
    improves performance in large files with many injections.

• |vim.iter()| provides a generic iterator interface for tables and Lua
  iterators |for-in|.

• Added |vim.ringbuf()| to create ring buffers.

• Added |vim.keycode()| for translating keycodes in a string.

• |'smoothscroll'| option to scroll by screen line rather than by text line
  when |'wrap'| is set.

• Added inline virtual text support to |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|.

• The terminal buffer now supports reflow (wrapped lines adapt when the buffer
  is resized horizontally). Note: Lines that are not visible and kept in
  |'scrollback'| are not reflown.

• |vim.system()| for running system commands.

• Added |nvim_win_text_height()| to compute the number of screen lines occupied
  by a range of text in a given window.

• |nvim_set_keymap()| and |nvim_del_keymap()| now support abbreviations.

• Builtin TUI can now recognize "super" (|<D-|) and "meta" (|<T-|) modifiers in a
  terminal emulator that supports |tui-csiu|.

• LSP
  • LSP method names are available in |vim.lsp.protocol.Methods|.
  • Implemented LSP inlay hints: |vim.lsp.inlay_hint()|
    https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_inlayHint
  • Implemented pull diagnostic textDocument/diagnostic: |vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_diagnostic()|
    https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_diagnostic
  • Added |vim.lsp.status()| to consume the last progress messages as a string.
  • LSP client now always saves and restores named buffer marks when applying
    text edits.
  • LSP client now supports the `positionEncoding` server capability. If a server
    responds with the `positionEncoding` capability in its initialization
    response, Nvim automatically sets the client's `offset_encoding` field.
  • Dynamic registration of LSP capabilities. An implication of this change is
    that checking a client's `server_capabilities` is no longer a sufficient
    indicator to see if a server supports a feature. Instead use
    `client.supports_method(<method>)`. It considers both the dynamic
    capabilities and static `server_capabilities`.

• Treesitter
  • Bundled parsers and queries (highlight, folds) for Markdown, Python, and
    Bash.
  • Added |vim.treesitter.query.omnifunc()| for treesitter query files (set by
    default).
  • |Query:iter_matches()| now has the ability to set the maximum start depth
    for matches.
  • `@injection.language` now has smarter resolution and will now fallback to language aliases and/or attempt lower case variants of the text.
    language via aliases (e.g., filetype) registered via
    `vim.treesitter.language.register`.
  • The `#set!` directive now supports `injection.self` and `injection.parent` for injecting either the current node's language
    or the parent LanguageTree's language, respectively.
  • Added `vim.treesitter.preview_query()`, for live editing of treesitter
    queries.

• |vim.ui.open()| opens URIs using the system default handler (macOS `open`,
  Windows `explorer`, Linux `xdg-open`, etc.)

• |vim.wo| can now be double indexed for |:setlocal| behaviour. Currently only
  `0` for the buffer index is currently supported.

• Lua type annotations for:
  • `vim.*`
  • `vim.fn.*`
  • `vim.api.*`

• Improved messages for type errors in `vim.api.*` calls (including `opts` params)

• Functions that take a severity as an optional parameter (e.g.
  |vim.diagnostic.get()|) now also accept a list of severities |vim.diagnostic.severity|

• New RPC client type `msgpack-rpc` is added for `nvim_set_client_info` to
  support fully MessagePack-RPC compliant clients.

==============================================================================
CHANGED FEATURES                                                 *news-changed*

The following changes to existing APIs or features add new behavior.

• |vim.tbl_contains()| now works for general tables and allows specifying a
  predicate function that is checked for each value. (Use |vim.list_contains()|
  for checking list-like tables (integer keys without gaps) for literal values.)

• |vim.region()| can use a string accepted by |getpos()| as position.

• vim.diagnostic.config() now accepts a function for the virtual_text.prefix
  option, which allows for rendering e.g., diagnostic severities differently.

• Defaults:
  • 'comments' includes "fb:•".
  • 'shortmess' includes the "C" flag.
  • Automatic linting of treesitter query files (see |ft-query-plugin|).
    Can be disabled via: >lua
      vim.g.query_lint_on = {}
<
  • Enabled treesitter highlighting for treesitter query files.

• The `workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles` LSP client capability is now enabled
  by default.

• |LspRequest| autocmd callbacks now contain additional information about the LSP
  request status update that occurred.

• `:source` without arguments treats a buffer with its 'filetype' set to "lua"
  as Lua code regardless of its extension.

• |:checkhealth| buffer now implements |folding|. The initial folding status is
  defined by the 'foldenable' option.

• |:Man| now respects 'wrapmargin'

• |gx| now uses |vim.ui.open()| and not netrw. To customize, you can redefine
  `vim.ui.open` or remap `gx`. To continue using netrw (deprecated): >vim
  :call netrw#BrowseX(expand(exists("g:netrw_gx")? g:netrw_gx : '<cfile>'), netrw#CheckIfRemote())<CR>

• |vim.lsp.start()| now maps |K| to use |vim.lsp.buf.hover()| if the server
  supports it, unless |'keywordprg'| was customized before calling
  |vim.lsp.start()|.

• Terminal buffers started with no arguments (and use 'shell') close
  automatically if the job exited without error, eliminating the (often
  unwanted) "[Process exited 0]" message.

• |vim.diagnostic.config()| now accepts virtual text relevant options to
  |nvim_buf_set_extmark()| (e.g. "virt_text_pos" and "hl_mode") in its
  "virtual_text" table, which gives users more control over how diagnostic
  virtual text is displayed.

==============================================================================
