Problem:
No way for a user to limit 'exrc' search in parent directories (compare
editorconfig.root).
Solution:
A configuration file can unset 'exrc', disabling the search for its
parent directories.
Problem:
The exrc file in the current directory is executed twice, here and in
`do_exrc_initalization()`.
Solution:
Start search from parent directory. Let core handle exrc in current
directory.
feat(exrc): search exrc in parent directories
Problem:
`.nvim.lua` is only loaded from current directory, which is not flexible
when working from a subfolder of the project.
Solution:
Also search parent directories for configuration file.
Problem:
Given that `vim.snippet.expand()` sets temporary `<tab>`/`<s-tab>`
keymaps there is no way to build "smart-tab" functionality where `<tab>`
chooses the next completion candidate if the popup menu is visible.
Solution:
Set the keymap permanent in `_defaults`.
The downside of this approach is that users of multiple snippet engine's
need to adapt their keymaps to handle all their engines that are in use.
For example:
vim.keymap.set({ 'i', 's' }, "<Tab>", function()
if foreign_snippet.active() then
return "<Cmd>lua require('foreign_snippet').jump()<CR>"
elseif vim.snippet.active({ direction = 1 }) then
return "<Cmd>lua vim.snippet.jump(1)<CR>"
else
return key
end
end, { expr = true })
Upside is that using `vim.keymap.set` to override keymaps is a well
established pattern and `vim.snippet.expand` calls made by nvim itself
or plugins have working keymaps out of the box.

When a plugin registers a TermRequest handler there is currently no way
for the handler to know where the terminal's cursor position was when
the sequence was received. This is often useful information, e.g. for
OSC 133 sequences which are used to annotate shell prompts.
Modify the event data for the TermRequest autocommand to be a table
instead of just a string. The "sequence" field of the table contains the
sequence string and the "cursor" field contains the cursor
position when the sequence was received.
To maintain consistency between TermRequest and TermResponse (and to
future proof the latter), TermResponse's event data is also updated to
be a table with a "sequence" field.
BREAKING CHANGE: event data for TermRequest and TermResponse is now a
table
Problem: The behavior of the visual search mappings aren't consistent
with their normal mode counterparts.
- The count isn't considered
- Searching with an empty selection will match every character in the
buffer
- Searching backwards only jumps back when the cursor is positioned at
the start of the selection.
Solution:
- Issue `n` `v:count1` times
- Error out and exit visual mode when the selection is empty
- Detect when the cursor is not at the start of the selection, and
adjust the count accordingly
Also, use the search register instead of the more error-prone approach
of feeding the entire search string as an expression
Problem:
No obvious way to see diagnostics without configuring it first.
Solution:
Add `Show Diagnostics`, `Show All Diagnostics` and `Configure
Diagnostics` buttons to the context menu.
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`.
Enabling private DEC mode 2031 tells the terminal to notify Nvim
whenever the OS theme changes (i.e. light mode to dark mode or vice
versa) or the terminal emulator's palette changes. When we receive one
of these notifications we query the terminal color's background color
again to see if it has changed and update the value of 'background' if
it has.
We only do this though if the user has not explicitly set the value of
'bg' themselves. The help text is updated slightly to hint to users that
they probably shouldn't set this value: on modern terminal emulators
Nvim is able to completely determine this automatically.
Problem:
The default unimpaired mappings display an empty line after the
command's output. This results (with default configuration) in the
`Press ENTER or type command to continue` prompt to be displayed, like
so:
```
(2 of 16): item2
Press ENTER or type command to continue
```
Solution:
The cause is that we're checking the second return value from
`pcall(vim.api.nvim_cmd, opts, {})` to determine whether the call was
successful. `nvim_cmd` returns an empty string on success, so this value
is an empty string in the successful path which we then display.
The fix is simple: check the first return value instead which is the
"status code" of the call.
Some commands don't accept "count" and only work with "range". It's not
clear why. The issue is tracked at [1], but this is a workaround for
now.

Problem:
When 'ignorecase' is set, the default keymap Q and Q would exit visual
mode.
This issue was raised in #28287 and a fix was applied in #28289.
However, `==` operator is subject to user `ignorecase` setting.
Solution:
Switching to `==#` operator would guarantee case sensitive comparison
between visual mode and linewise visual mode.

We currently check $COLORTERM in the TUI process to determine if the
terminal supports 24 bit color (truecolor). If $COLORTERM is "truecolor"
or "24bit" then we automatically assume that the terminal supports
truecolor, but if $COLORTERM is set to any other value we still query
the terminal.
The `rgb` flag of the UI struct is a boolean which only indicates
whether the UI supports truecolor, but does not have a 3rd state that we
can use to represent "we don't know if the UI supports truecolor". We
currently use `rgb=false` to represent this "we don't know" state, and
we use XTGETTCAP and DECRQSS queries to determine at runtime if the
terminal supports truecolor. However, if $COLORTERM is set to a value
besides "truecolor" or "24bit" (e.g. "256" or "16) that is a clear
indication that the terminal _does not_ support truecolor, so it is
incorrect to treat `rgb=false` as "we don't know" in that case.
Instead, in the TUI process we only check for the terminfo capabilities.
This must be done in the TUI process because we do not have access to
this information in the core Neovim process when `_defaults.lua` runs.
If the TUI cannot determine truecolor support from terminfo alone, we
set `rgb=false` to indicate "we don't know if the terminal supports
truecolor yet, keep checking". When we get to `_defaults.lua`, we can
then check $COLORTERM and only query the terminal if it is unset.
This means that users can explicitly opt out of truecolor determination
by setting `COLORTERM=256` (or similar) in their environment.
Problem: There is no easy way to configure the behavior of the default
diagnostic "jump" mappings. For example, some users way want to show the
floating window, and some may not (likewise, some way want to only move
between warnings/errors, or disable the "wrap" parameter).
Solution: Add a "jump" table to vim.diagnostic.config() that sets
default values for vim.diagnostic.jump().
Alternatives: Users can override the default mappings to use the exact
options to vim.diagnostic.jump() that they want, but this has a couple
issues:
- While the default mappings are not complicated, they are also not
trivial, so overriding them requires users to understand
implementation details (specifically things like setting "count"
properly).
- If plugins want to change the default mappings, or configure the
behavior in any way (e.g. floating window display), it becomes even
harder for users to tweak specific behavior.
vim.diagnostic.config() already works quite well as the "entry point"
for tuning knobs with diagnostic UI elements, so this fits in nicely and
composes well with existing mental models and idioms.
The new default SwapExists autocommand displays warning text (W325) but
does not use the WarningMsg highlight group as other warnings do. Use
the WARN log level when displaying this warning.
In other words, `gx` works regardless of where it was used in
`[...](https://...)`. This only works on markdown buffers.

Revert the default LSP mappings before the 0.10 release as these might
need some further consideration. In particular, it's not clear if "c"
prefixed maps in Normal mode are acceptable as defaults since they
interfere with text objects or operator ranges.
We will re-introduce default mappings at the beginning of the 0.11
release cycle, this reversion is only for the imminent 0.10 release.

Problem:
`vim.ui.open()` has a `pcall()` like signature, under the assumption
that this is the Lua idiom for returning result-or-error. However, the
`result|nil, errmsg|nil` pattern:
- has precedent in:
- `io.open`
- `vim.uv` (`:help luv-error-handling`)
- has these advantages:
- Can be used with `assert()`:
```
local result, err = assert(foobar())
```
- Allows LuaLS to infer the type of `result`:
```
local result, err = foobar()
if err then
...
elseif result then
...
end
```
Solution:
- Revert to the `result|nil, errmsg|nil` pattern.
- Document the pattern in our guidelines.
