* feat(exmode): "1q:", :exmode #41010Justin M. Keyes2026-07-27
| | | | | | | | | Problem: Want `gQ` for _le multicursor_. Solution: - Don't use `gQ` for exmode. - Introduce `:exmode`. - Introduce `[count]q:` as an alias to `:exmode`.
* 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`.
* test: improve test conventionsdundargoc2024-04-23
| | | | | | | | | Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run in the context of the test session are put in `test/functional/testnvim.lua`. Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/27004.

* fix(ex_normal): spam \n in Ex mode only if in Cmdline mode (#17977)zeertzjq2022-04-03
When using :normal in Ex mode, the editor is no longer in Cmdline mode, but the exmode_active flag is still set, causing the wrong character to be spammed in Insert mode, leading to a hang.
