* docs(help): specify h4 "function signature" format #42434masterJustin M. Keyes2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Work towards enabling ["flow" layout](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/9244da12e400ec0291450a5e9400d995e7a29b83/src/gen/gen_help_html.lua#L86-L88) in all `:help` files. Problem: The final boss of vimdoc pseudo-structure: Vim's quasi-headings on function signatures and excmd docs is visually distinctive but too inconsistent for a nice parse rule. Solution: - Define the quasi-heading format as an "h4" variant, specified at `:help help-tag-heading`. - For simplicity and predictability, it is defined as any line that ends with a help tag(s) preceded by 2 or more spaces (or 1 tab). - Update existing docs. - This one-time update has a lot of changes, but is very unlikely to conflict with ported Vim-patches because (1) Vim rarely adds new *excmds* that we want, and (2) *function* docs are auto-generated. ref https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc/issues/110
* docs: flow layoutJustin M. Keyes3 days
| | | | | | | | | | Work towards enabling "flow" layout in most `:help` files. Since [tables are supported in help](https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc#tables), it's now possible to render most help files as ["flow" layout](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/9244da12e400ec0291450a5e9400d995e7a29b83/src/gen/gen_help_html.lua#L86-L88) instead of the legacy fixed-width layout. Besides [improved HTML rendering](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/42381#discussion_r4285705739), flow layout will allow `:help` presentation-mode to un-hardwrap text blocks.

* docs: cleanup tables, highlights.scm #42381Justin M. Keyes4 days
| | | highlights.scm: `#match` is slow, prefer `#lua-match`.
* refactor(charset)!: delete 'isprint' and cleanup 'iskeyword' and friendsbfredl2026-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In the `enc=utf-8` only world, the 'isprint' option is quite obsolete. The function is only consulted for decoded U+0080 to U+00FF chars whose printability is defined by the unicode charset, just like higher codepoints. Meanwhile, invalid `\x80` to `\xFF` bytes are always unprintable. Disentangle 'iskeyword', 'isfname' and 'isident' from each other by giving them all separate bitsets. Now these can be updated individually. These updaters can back out of errors gracefully, no need for extra panic logic in option[str].c to restore partially updated chartabs.
* fix(lua): vim.wait(0) does not call loop_poll #39679Justin M. Keyes2026-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Regression from c822a2657c78: `vim.wait(0)` does not call `loop_poll`, so `vim.wait(1)` is needed to "yield" from Lua. Solution: - Ensure that `vim._core.loop_poll()` is always called, even when `time=0`. - Document how to interrupt Lua code (ctrl-c). ref https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/6800
* vim-patch:8.2.2440: documentation based on patches is outdated (#39144)zeertzjq2026-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Documentation based on patches is outdated. Solution: Add changes to documentation in a patch. https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/853886722c051ecaef6d818ce32a822e4f43dc2b Trailing space was removed in later patches. Also fix a few more misplaced error numbers from #8155. Co-authored-by: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>
* test: lint EXX error codes #8155Justin M. Keyes2026-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Problem: - Choosing a new EXX error code is tedious. - It's possible to accidentally use an EXX error code for different purposes. Solution: Add a lint check which requires EXX error codes to have a :help tag. This also avoids duplicates because `make doc` does `:helptags ++t doc` which fails if duplicates are found.

* vim-patch:9.1.1627: fuzzy matching can be improvedzeertzjq2025-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: fuzzy-matching can be improved Solution: Implement a better fuzzy matching algorithm (Girish Palya) Replace fuzzy matching algorithm with improved fzy-based implementation The [current](https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/reverse_engineering_sublime_texts_fuzzy_match/) fuzzy matching algorithm has several accuracy issues: * It struggles with CamelCase * It fails to prioritize matches at the beginning of strings, often ranking middle matches higher. After evaluating alternatives (see my comments [here](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17531#issuecomment-3112046897) and [here](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17531#issuecomment-3121593900)), I chose to adopt the [fzy](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy) algorithm, which: * Resolves the aforementioned issues. * Performs better. Implementation details This version is based on the original fzy [algorithm](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy/blob/master/src/match.c), with one key enhancement: **multibyte character support**. * The original implementation supports only ASCII. * This patch replaces ascii lookup tables with function calls, making it compatible with multibyte character sets. * Core logic (`match_row()` and `match_positions()`) remains faithful to the original, but now operates on codepoints rather than single-byte characters. Performance Tested against a dataset of **90,000 Linux kernel filenames**. Results (in milliseconds) show a **\~2x performance improvement** over the current fuzzy matching algorithm. ``` Search String Current Algo FZY Algo ------------------------------------------------- init 131.759 66.916 main 83.688 40.861 sig 98.348 39.699 index 109.222 30.738 ab 72.222 44.357 cd 83.036 54.739 a 58.94 62.242 b 43.612 43.442 c 64.39 67.442 k 40.585 36.371 z 34.708 22.781 w 38.033 30.109 cpa 82.596 38.116 arz 84.251 23.964 zzzz 35.823 22.75 dimag 110.686 29.646 xa 43.188 29.199 nha 73.953 31.001 nedax 94.775 29.568 dbue 79.846 25.902 fp 46.826 31.641 tr 90.951 55.883 kw 38.875 23.194 rp 101.575 55.775 kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 48.519 30.921 ``` ```vim vim9script var haystack = readfile('/Users/gp/linux.files') var needles = ['init', 'main', 'sig', 'index', 'ab', 'cd', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'k', 'z', 'w', 'cpa', 'arz', 'zzzz', 'dimag', 'xa', 'nha', 'nedax', 'dbue', 'fp', 'tr', 'kw', 'rp', 'kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk'] for needle in needles var start = reltime() var tmp = matchfuzzy(haystack, needle) echom $'{needle}' (start->reltime()->reltimefloat() * 1000) endfor ``` Additional changes * Removed the "camelcase" option from both matchfuzzy() and matchfuzzypos(), as it's now obsolete with the improved algorithm. related: neovim/neovim#34101 fixes vim/vim#17531 closes: vim/vim#17900 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/7e0df5eee9eab872261fd5eb0068cec967a2ba77 Co-authored-by: Girish Palya <girishji@gmail.com>

* vim-patch:9.1.1258: regexp: max \U and \%U value is limited by INT_MAX (#33156)zeertzjq2025-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: regexp: max \U and \%U value is limited by INT_MAX but gives a confusing error message (related: v8.1.0985). Solution: give a better error message when the value reaches INT_MAX When searching Vim allows to get up to 8 hex characters using the /\V and /\%V regex atoms. However, when using "/\UFFFFFFFF" the code point is already above what an integer variable can hold, which is 2,147,483,647. Since patch v8.1.0985, Vim already limited the max codepoint to INT_MAX (otherwise it caused a crash in the nfa regex engine), but instead of error'ing out it silently fell back to parse the number as a backslash value and not as a codepoint value and as such this "/[\UFFFFFFFF]" will happily find a "\" or an literal "F". And this "/[\d127-\UFFFFFFFF]" will error out as "reverse range in character class). Interestingly, the max Unicode codepoint value is U+10FFFF which still fits into an ordinary integer value, which means, that we don't even need to parse 8 hex characters, but 6 should have been enough. However, let's not limit Vim to search for only max 6 hex characters (which would be a backward incompatible change), but instead allow all 8 characters and only if the codepoint reaches INT_MAX, give a more precise error message (about what the max unicode codepoint value is). This allows to search for "[\U7FFFFFFE]" (will likely return "E486 Pattern not found") and "[/\U7FFFFFF]" now errors "E1517: Value too large, max Unicode codepoint is U+10FFFF". While this change is straight forward on architectures where long is 8 bytes, this is not so simple on Windows or 32bit architectures where long is 4 bytes (and therefore the test fails there). To account for that, let's make use of the vimlong_T number type and make a few corresponding changes in the regex engine code and cast the value to the expected data type. This however may not work correctly on systems that doesn't have the long long datatype (e.g. OpenVMS) and probably the test will fail there. fixes: vim/vim#16949 closes: vim/vim#16994 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/f2b16986a194ab839c5a23bd7fe904f9fae1526f Co-authored-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>
