* feat(multicursor): MC HAMMER #41587Justin M. Keyes2026-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Other (squashed) commits: fix(tui): emit ui_send output atomically with the frame Problem: tui_ui_send() writes directly to the TTY, bypassing the output buffer. Sequences sent via nvim_ui_send() (e.g. kitty multiple-cursors, or visual-dot-repeat) always arrive in a separate TTY write from the frame they were computed for. This manifests as "tearing", or e.g. in the case of multicursor the terminal renders text with stale cursor overlays. Solution: - tui_ui_send(): while a frame is being assembled (pending invalid regions or buffered output), buffer instead of writing directly. - Out-of-frame sends (tty queries, clear-on-disable) still write immediately. - mcursor.lua: emit the terminal-cursor update at the end of the redraw cycle (`on_end`, when screen positions are final) instead of vim.schedule().
* refactor(exmode): Ex-mode as cmdwin + Lua #40991Justin M. Keyes2026-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: POSIX-compatible Ex-mode requires special-cases all over the codebase to match various quirks that don't actually matter to users. - The main utility of *interactive* Ex-mode is its REPL behavior, and that can be achieved with `cmdwin`, which also gains extra UX benefits. - The main utility of *non-interactive* `nvim -es` is for shell scripting, where Ex-mode quirks are mostly unhelpful (e.g. the "Entering Ex mode" message). Solution: - Reimplement *interactive* Ex-mode as a "persistent, insert-mode cmdwin" in Lua. - "nvim -e/-E" is simply an alias to "gQ". - Reframe *non-interactive* Ex-mode (`nvim -es`) as "script mode". - Drop POSIX Ex-mode quirks. Improvements: - "nvim -V1 -es" output ends with a final newline! - "nvim -V1 -es" no longer shows the "Entering Ex mode" msg. (This was pointless noise, unwanted for scripting purposes.) - stdin is no longer typeahead. Scripts (":lua io.read()") can read stdin as data. - Empty line is a no-op: a stray blank line no longer moves the cursor (deviates from POSIX ex "+1"), no longer exits 1 at EOF (E501). Preserved behavior: - cursor starts at "$" - mode()=="cv" (for non-interactive) - multiline commands (:append/:function/heredoc pull continuation lines) - bare-range print - :print=>stdout - -V1=>stderr - CRLF input - continue-after-error and exit codes Dropped (regressed) POSIX behavior (non-interactive): - Event loop only ticks while/between commands, not while blocked waiting for a stdin line. - ":g/pat/visual...Q" - input()/getchar()/":s/x/y/c" no longer consume stdin lines as answers: Nvim stops at end-of-input, skipping the rest of the script, exit 0. Use ":lua io.read()" instead. - If users care about this they should use interactive Ex-mode (`gQ`). - ":@r" stops at end of the register instead of continuing to read cmdline input from stdin.
* test(harness): migrate away from magic globalsJustin M. Keyes2026-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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`.
* refactor(detach): eliminate `nvim__ui_detach` #40793Justin M. Keyes2026-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: `nvim__ui_detach` was added in 85e0559d46c7 in order to implement `detach_others` from Lua. Using Lua in this case is doing more harm than good. Solution: Extract `ui_detach_channel`, which also allows it to be used for the "self detach" path from `ex_detach`. Bonus: the old MSWIN path always called `os_swap_to_hidden_console()`; now `ui_detach_channel` only does so for a stdio channel. For the common stdio TUI this is identical; for a socket UI it's more correct (no parent console to swap).
* feat(ui): ":%detach!" detaches all other UIs #39216Jason Woodland2026-07-17
| | | | | | | Problem: Not easy for one UI to kick the others off a shared Nvim server. Solution: Treat `:%detach` as detach-other-UIs.
* feat(marks): :marks completion, list extmarks #40743Justin M. Keyes2026-07-15
| | | | | | | | | Problem: - No UI for listing extmarks. - `:marks` doesn't support cmdline-completion. Solution: - Add completion and extmarks support to `:marks`. - Update `get_buf_local_marks` to include the ":" (prompt-buffer) mark.
* fix(path): normalize separators (slashes) #39155tao2026-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Continue separators normalization, and try to keep it at the nvim <-> external boundary, e.g., `fn.xxx`, `api.xxx`, `:xxx` Solution: some key changes - normalize `$HOME-windows` - normalize entry points of changing directory - `nvim_set_current_dir()`, `chdir()` - normalize the named pipe - `--listen` arg, `--server` arg, `:restart` - `serverstart()`, `sockconnect()`, `serverstop()` - make `expand()` respect 'shellslash' again - clean up `did_set_shellslash` - replace `forward_slash` with `TO_SLASH` - remove obsolete `TMP_PATHSEPSTR` - remove `slash_adjust` in `do_autocmd_dirchanged`? - make `fnamemodify()` always return `/` (except when substituting separators via `:s`, `:gs` ?) Note: - these funcs still apply `slash_adjust` on return, as before: `:pwd`, `chdir()`, `exepath()`, `getcwd()` - these funcs alwarys return `/`, unlike before the normalization PRs - `getcompletion()`, `finddir()`, `findfile()` Also - clean up code, comments, formatting and tests - move `TO_SLASH` from `f_chdir` to `changedir_func` - move `TO_SLASH` from `f_bufadd` to `buflist_new` Co-authored-by: Justin M. Keyes <justinkz@gmail.com>
* feat(health): report ulimit infoJustin M. Keyes2026-07-01
| | | | | | | | | Problem: Nvim shows `(libuv) kqueue(): Too many open files` on macos. ref https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/40238 Solution: Add a healthcheck for this situation.
* feat(:restart)!: ":restart" (no bang) saves/restores session #40321Nathan Zeng2026-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | Problem: `:restart` does not preserve window layout, etc. Solution: - Change `:restart` to save/restore a session automatically. - Introduce "bang" variant `:restart!` to restart *without* session save/restore. - Introduce `v:startreason`. - `ZR` maps to `:restart!`.
* feat(cmdwin): implement cmdwin as a normal buf+winJustin M. Keyes2026-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: cmdwin (the `:q` cmdline buffer) has various limitations which require special-casing all over the codebase. Besides complicating the code, it also breaks async plugins if they try to create buffers/windows after some work is done, if the user happens to open cmdwin at the wrong the moment: Lua callback: …/guh.nvim/lua/guh/util.lua:531: E11: Invalid in command-line window; <CR> executes, CTRL-C quits stack traceback: [C]: in function 'nvim_buf_delete' …/guh.nvim/lua/guh/util.lua:531: in function <…/guh.nvim/lua/guh/util.lua:526> Solution: Just say no to "inception". Reimplement cmdwin as a normal buffer+window. All of the cmdwin contortions (in both core, and innocent plugins) exist literally only to support "inception": recursive cmdwin-in-cmdline-things, like `<c-r>=`, `/`, search-during-substitute, `:input()`, etc. So we just won't support that (though I have a potential plan for that later, which I call "modal parking lot"). The benefit is that plugins, and core, no longer have to care about cmdwin. BONUS: - mouse-drag on vertical separators works (it only worked for horizontal/statusline before) - inccommand-in-cmdwin now works correctly, for free (thus don't need #40077). POTENTIAL FOLLOWUPS - Drop `CHECK_CMDWIN` ("E11: Invalid in command-line window"), allow chaos. - Unify `BUFLOCK_OK` / `LOCK_OK` ? DESIGN: - Eliminate lots of C globals, `EX_CMDWIN`, etc. - `text_locked()` no longer reports true for cmdwin. - cmdwin = a normal window with 'winfixbuf', 'bufhidden=wipe', 'buftype=nofile'. Invariants come from those options rather than special cases throughout the codebase. - `nv_record` for q:/q//q? calls Lua `nlua_call_vimfn("vim._core.cmdwin", …)`. No `K_CMDWIN` / cmdline-reader detour. - `cedit_key` (`c_CTRL-F`) schedules a deferred event that calls `vim._core.cmdwin.open(type, content, pos)` and returns `Ctrl_C` so the in-flight cmdline cancels. Reader state is not serialized; instead the captured `(type, line, col)` is replayed via `nvim_feedkeys(type..line.."<CR>", "nt", …)` after user confirms. - On confirm/cancel: `<CR>` / `<C-C>` calls into Lua which closes the window and re-feeds the cmdline. BREAKING CHANGES: - Expression-register cmdline (`<C-R>=` from insert-mode) no longer supports cmdwin. Same applies to `input()` / `inputlist()` (already covered by `text_locked`). - Usage of cmdwin in macros/mappings will probably break (assuming they ever worked).
* test(windows): unskip some channel/job tests #38515Justin M. Keyes2026-06-12

* feat(ui): use vim.ui.select for :oldfiles, :recoverJustin M. Keyes2026-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: followup to 55ceb314ca96 #39478 `:oldfiles` and swapfile `:recover` do not delegate to `vim.ui.select`. Solution: - Delegate to `vim.ui.select`. - Fix a long-standing `recover_names` bug where `concat_fnames(dir_name, files[i], true)` produced malformed `<dir>//<dir>/<file>` paths (also fixes `swapfilelist()`).
* refactor(tty): tty.request() #39489Justin M. Keyes2026-04-30
| | | | | | | | Problem: - Various `TermRequest` handlers which all do similar things. - `tty.query` is specific to `XTGETTCAP DCS`, can't be reused for other kinds of terminal queries. Solution: Provide `tty.request()`.
* feat(ui): use vim.ui.select for :tselect, z= #39478Justin M. Keyes2026-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/25814 fix https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/31987
* feat(excmd): add :uptime command #39331Olivia Kinnear2026-04-23
| | | | | | | Problem Nvim marks its v:starttime, but there is no user-friendly way to get Nvim's uptime. Solution Add :uptime (based loosely on uptime(1)).
* feat(:restart): v:starttime, v:exitreason #39282Justin M. Keyes2026-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: - The `ZR` feature makes it more obvious that we need some sort of flag so that an `ExitPre` / `QuitPre` / `VimLeave` handler can handle restarts differently than a normal exit. For example, it's common that users want `:mksession` on restart, but perhaps not on a normal exit. - Nvim has no way to report its "uptime". Solution: - Introduce `v:starttime` - Introduce `v:exitreason`
* perf(lsp): clear table by table.clear() #39222Yi Ming2026-04-22

* fix(:restart): reuse --listen addr on Windows #38539Sanzhar Kuandyk2026-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | Problem: On Windows, :restart cannot immediately reuse the canonical --listen address because named pipe release is asynchronous. Solution: Start the new Nvim server on a temporary address; in the new Nvim, retry serverstart() with the original ("canonical") address until it succeeds.
* refactor(test): drop deprecated exc_exec #39242Justin M. Keyes2026-04-20

* perf(vim.fn): call Lua-implemented vim.fn.xx() directly #39166Justin M. Keyes2026-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: - Builtin "Vimscript" functions (f_xx) are mostly implemented in C. Partly that's because there is some boilerplate required to call out to Lua. - Calls to `vim.fn.foo()` always marshall over the Lua <=> Vimscript ("typval") bridge, even if `fn.foo()` is implemented entirely in Lua: ``` Lua => typval => Object => Lua => Object => typval => Lua. ``` Solution: Functions declared in eval.lua with `func_lua` are implemented in entirely in Lua (`_core/vimfn.lua`). - `gen_eval.lua` wires `func_lua` entries to `lua_wrapper`, which handles the typval conversion for Vimscript callers (slow path). - `nlua_call()` detects `func_lua` functions and calls the Lua implementation directly. This eliminates all conversion overhead for Lua callers (fast path). - Validate at build-time that `func`, `func_float`, and `func_lua` are mutually exclusive. - Migrate `hostname()` as a toy example, to show the idea.
* feat(startup): warn if NVIM_LOG_FILE is inaccessible #38070anondeveg2026-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: If NVIM_LOG_FILE, or the default fallback, is inaccessible (e.g. directory is owned by root), users get confused. Solution: Show a warning when $NVIM_LOG_FILE or $XDG_STATE_HOME are inaccessible. Also fix a latent memory leak: `os_mkdir_recurse` returns a uv error code (int), but it was stored as `bool`, causing `os_strerror` to receive an invalid error code and leak memory. See: https://docs.libuv.org/en/v1.x/errors.html#c.uv_strerror Co-authored-by: Sean Dewar <6256228+seandewar@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Justin M. Keyes <justinkz@gmail.com>
* feat(terminal): surface exit code via virttext + nvim_get_chan_info #37987Ayaan2026-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | Problem: When a terminal process exits, "[Process Exited]" text is added to the buffer contents. Solution: - Return `exitcode` field from `nvim_get_chan_info`. - Show it in the default 'statusline'. - Show exitcode as virtual text in the terminal buffer.
* refactor(help): move escaping logic to Lua #37757Yochem van Rosmalen2026-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | Problem: Escaping logic for {subject} in ex cmd `:help {subject}` is done in a messy 200+ lines C function which is hard to maintain and improve. Solution: Rewrite in Lua. Use `string.gsub()` instead of looping over characters to improve clarity and add many more tests to be able to confidently improve current code later on.
* refactor: rename _extui => _core.ui2 #37692luukvbaal2026-02-05
| | | | | | | Problem: _extui module name is confusing and should eventually end up in _core/. Solution: Move it there and name it ui2.
* build: move shared.lua to _core/Justin M. Keyes2025-12-30
|
* build: ship "_core/*" as bytecode (built-into Nvim binary)Justin M. Keyes2025-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: We want to encourage implementing core features in Lua instead of C, but it's clumsy because: - Core Lua code (built into `nvim` so it is available even if VIMRUNTIME is missing/invalid) requires manually updating CMakeLists.txt, or stuffing it into `_editor.lua`. - Core Lua modules are not organized similar to C modules, `_editor.lua` is getting too big. Solution: - Introduce `_core/` where core Lua code can live. All Lua modules added there will automatically be included as bytecode in the `nvim` binary. - Move these core modules into `_core/*`: ``` _defaults.lua _editor.lua _options.lua _system.lua shared.lua ``` TODO: - Move `_extui/ => _core/ui2/`
* fix(startup): avoid crash with completion from -l script (#32160)zeertzjq2025-01-22
| | | Related #27764
* test: use spawn_wait() instead of system() #31852Justin M. Keyes2025-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Tests that need to check `nvim` CLI behavior (no RPC session) create their own ad-hoc `system()` wrappers. Solution: - Use `n.spawn_wait` instead of `system()`. - Bonus: this also improves the tests by explicitly checking for `stdout` or `stderr`. And if a signal is raised, `ProcStream.status` will reflect it.
* feat(jobs): jobstart(…,{term=true}), deprecate termopen() #31343Justin M. Keyes2024-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: `termopen` has long been a superficial wrapper around `jobstart`, and has no real purpose. Also, `vim.system` and `nvim_open_term` presumably will replace all features of `jobstart` and `termopen`, so centralizing the logic will help with that. Solution: - Introduce `eval/deprecated.c`, where all deprecated eval funcs will live. - Introduce "term" flag of `jobstart`. - Deprecate `termopen`.
* feat(terminal)!: cursor shape and blink (#31562)Gregory Anders2024-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a terminal application running inside the terminal emulator sets the cursor shape or blink status of the cursor, update the cursor in the parent terminal to match. This removes the "virtual cursor" that has been in use by the terminal emulator since the beginning. The original rationale for using the virtual cursor was to avoid having to support additional UI methods to change the cursor color for other (non-TUI) UIs, instead relying on the TermCursor and TermCursorNC highlight groups. The TermCursor highlight group is now used in the default 'guicursor' value, which has a new entry for Terminal mode. However, the TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported: since terminal windows now use the real cursor, when the window is not focused there is no cursor displayed in the window at all, so there is nothing to highlight. Users can still use the StatusLineTermNC highlight group to differentiate non-focused terminal windows. BREAKING CHANGE: The TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported.
* test(main_spec): make "nvim -v" test agnostic to build typeJames McCoy2024-12-03
| | | | In release builds, the Compilation: line is omitted so the build is reproducible. Since the "fall-back for $VIM" line is always present, check for that instead.
* fix(tests): needing two calls to setup a screen is cringebfredl2024-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for (row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach" function call anyway. Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete (row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.
* refactor: Windows tilde expansion followup (#29380)Rafael Kitover2024-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Followup to #28515: Rename the static os_homedir() to os_uv_homedir() to emphasize that it is a wrapper around a libuv function. Add the function os_get_homedir() to os/env.c to return the cached homedir value as a const. Must be called after homedir is initialized or it fails. The difference between this function and the static os_uv_homedir() is that the latter gets the homedir from libuv and is used to initialize homedir in init_homedir(), while os_get_homedir() just returns homedir as a const if it's initialized and is public. Use the os_get_homedir() accessor for ~/ expansion on Windows to make the code more concise. Add a Windows section to main_spec.lua with tests for expanding ~/ and ~\ prefixes for files passed in on the command-line. Signed-off-by: Rafael Kitover <rkitover@gmail.com>

* refactor(tests): all screen tests should use highlightsbfredl2024-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the first installment of a multi-PR series significantly refactoring how highlights are being specified. The end goal is to have a base set of 20 ish most common highlights, and then specific files only need to add more groups to that as needed. As a complicating factor, we also want to migrate to the new default color scheme eventually. But by sharing a base set, that future PR will hopefully be a lot smaller since a lot of tests will be migrated just simply by updating the base set in place. As a first step, fix the anti-pattern than Screen defaults to ignoring highlights. Highlights are integral part of the screen state, not something "extra" which we only test "sometimes". For now, we still allow opt-out via the intentionally ugly screen._default_attr_ids = nil The end goal is to get rid of all of these eventually (which will be easier as part of the color scheme migration)
* fix(startup): set full_screen when in ex_modeglepnir2024-03-09
| | | | | | | | Problem Description: In ex_mode, the default_grid.chars are not allocated, and subsequently, the w_grid.target in curwin is not allocated to default_grid in update_screen. This leads to a null pointer crash when the completion function is executed in ex_mode. Solution: Set full_screen when in ex_mode to ensure that default_grid is allocated.

* feat(highlight): tweak default color schemeEvgeni Chasnovski2023-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Updating default color scheme produced some feedback. Solution: Address the feedback. Outline of the changes: - Colors `Grey1` and `Grey2` are made a little bit more extreme (dark - darker, light - lighter) to increase overall contrast. - `gui` colors are treated as base with `cterm` colors falling back to using 0-15 colors which come from terminal emulator. - Update highlight group definition to not include attribute definition if it is intended to staty uncolored. - Tweak some specific highlight groups. - Add a list of Neovim specific highlight groups which are now defined differently in a breaking way. - Minor tweaks in several other places related to default color scheme.
