Problem: Diff mode's inline highlighting is lackluster. It only
performs a line-by-line comparison, and calculates a single
shortest range within a line that could encompass all the
changes. In lines with multiple changes, or those that span
multiple lines, this approach tends to end up highlighting
much more than necessary.
Solution: Implement new inline highlighting modes by doing per-character
or per-word diff within the diff block, and highlight only the
relevant parts, add "inline:simple" to the defaults (which is
the old behaviour)
This change introduces a new diffopt option "inline:<type>". Setting to
"none" will disable all inline highlighting, "simple" (the default) will
use the old behavior, "char" / "word" will perform a character/word-wise
diff of the texts within each diff block and only highlight the
differences.
The new char/word inline diff only use the internal xdiff, and will
respect diff options such as algorithm choice, icase, and misc iwhite
options. indent-heuristics is always on to perform better sliding.
For character highlight, a post-process of the diff results is first
applied before we show the highlight. This is because a naive diff will
create a result with a lot of small diff chunks and gaps, due to the
repetitive nature of individual characters. The post-process is a
heuristic-based refinement that attempts to merge adjacent diff blocks
if they are separated by a short gap (1-3 characters), and can be
further tuned in the future for better results. This process results in
more characters than necessary being highlighted but overall less visual
noise.
For word highlight, always use first buffer's iskeyword definition.
Otherwise if each buffer has different iskeyword settings we would not
be able to group words properly.
The char/word diffing is always per-diff block, not per line, meaning
that changes that span multiple lines will show up correctly.
Added/removed newlines are not shown by default, but if the user has
'list' set (with "eol" listchar defined), the eol character will be be
highlighted correctly for the specific newline characters.
Also, add a new "DiffTextAdd" highlight group linked to "DiffText" by
default. It allows color schemes to use different colors for texts that
have been added within a line versus modified.
This doesn't interact with linematch perfectly currently. The linematch
feature splits up diff blocks into multiple smaller blocks for better
visual matching, which makes inline highlight less useful especially for
multi-line change (e.g. a line is broken into two lines). This could be
addressed in the future.
As a side change, this also removes the bounds checking introduced to
diff_read() as they were added to mask existing logic bugs that were
properly fixed in vim/vim#16768.

Problem: No block events emitted with ext_cmdline for :if, :while, :try etc.
Solution: Emit cmdline block events; store the indent level of the
previous cmdline and whether a block event was emitted.
Problem: Prompts are emitted as messages events, where cmdline events
are more appropriate. The user input is also emitted as
message events in fast context, so cannot be displayed with
vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Prompt for user input through cmdline prompts.
Problem: Unable to tell what highlight the prompt part of a
cmdline_show event should have, and whether cmdline_hide was
emitted after aborting.
Solution: Add additional arguments hl_id to cmdline_show, and abort to
cmdline_hide.
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.
Experimental and subject to future changes.
Add a way to redraw certain elements that are not redrawn while Nvim is waiting
for input, or currently have no API to do so. This API covers all that can be
done with the :redraw* commands, in addition to the following new features:
- Immediately move the cursor to a (non-current) window.
- Target a specific window or buffer to mark for redraw.
- Mark a buffer range for redraw (replaces nvim__buf_redraw_range()).
- Redraw the 'statuscolumn'.
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`.

Problem: Adding a character for incsearch fails at end of line.
Solution: Only check cursor line number.

Problem: The ext_cmdline cursor position on the screen seems to rely on
an implicit assumption that the event listener implements a
cmdline window that is made the current window which is
problematic (e.g. breaks 'incsearch' in the actual current
window).
Solution: Remove this assumption and allow nvim_win_set_cursor() to move
the cursor on the screen to a non-current window (previous
commit).

This is the command invoked repeatedly to make the changes:
:%s/^\(.*\)|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$\n\1|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$/\=submatch(1)..'|*'..(max([str2nr(submatch(2)),1])+max([str2nr(submatch(3)),1]))/g
Previously, 'rightleftcmd' was implemented by having all code which
would affect msg_col or output screen cells be conditional on `cmdmsg_rl`.
This change removes all that and instead implements rightleft as a
mirroring post-processing step.
Problem:
Crash from:
set cmdheight=0 redrawdebug=invalid
resize -1
Solution:
Do not invalidate first `p_ch` `msg_grid` rows in `update_screen` when
scrolling the screen down after displaying a message, because they may
be used later for drawing cmdline.

Problem: Using freed memory when 'tagfunc' wipes out buffer that holds
'complete'.
Solution: Make a copy of the option. Make sure cursor position is valid.

Problem: incorrect heights in win_size_restore()
Solution: avoid restoring incorrect heights in win_size_restore()

I already merged this prior, so just replace the new test with the old one,
but add a test case for the global statusline.
Currently it only skips if `Rows` changed, but it's possible for the height of
the usable area for windows to change (e.g: via `&ch`, `&stal` or `&ls`), which
can cause the value of `&cmdheight` to change when the sizes are restored.
This is a Vim bug, so I've submitted a PR there too. No telling when it'll be
merged though, given the current lack of activity there.
`ROWS_AVAIL` is convenient here, but also subtracts the `global_stl_height()`.
Not ideal, as we also care about the height of the last statusline for other
values of `&ls`. Meh.
Introduce `last_stl_height` for getting the height of the last statusline and
use it in `win_size_save/restore` and `last_status` (means
`last_status_rec`'s `statusline` argument will now be true if `&ls` is 3,
but that does not change the behaviour).
Also corrects the logic in `comp_col` to not assume there's a last statusline
if `&ls` is 1 and the last window is floating.
Redrawing of 'statusline' and 'winbar' are actually already inhibited by
RedawingDisabled in Ex mode.
In Vim there is a check for `msg_scrolled == 0` (which is false in Ex
mode) since Vim doesn't have msgsep. Add a `!exmode_active` check here
in Nvim instead.
scroll_delta contains how much the top line of a window moved since the
last time win_viewport was emitted. It is expected to be used to
implement smooth scrolling. For this purpose it only counts "virtual" or
"displayed" so folds should count as one line. Because of this it
adds extra information that cannot be computed from the topline
parameter.
Fixes#19227
Extend the capabilities of is_os to detect more platforms such as
freebsd and openbsd. Also remove `iswin()` helper function as it can be
replaced by `is_os("win")`.
The old behaviour (e.g. via `set display-=msgsep`) will not be available.
Assuming that messages always are being drawn on msg_grid
(or not drawn at all, and forwarded to `ext_messages` enabled UI)
will allows some simplifcations and enhancements moving forward.
