Problem: Cannot define completion triggers and act upon it
Solution: add the new option 'isexpand' and add the complete_match()
function to return the completion matches according to the
'isexpand' setting (glepnir)
Currently, completion trigger position is determined solely by the
'iskeyword' pattern (\k\+$), which causes issues when users need
different completion behaviors - such as triggering after '/' for
comments or '.' for methods. Modifying 'iskeyword' to include these
characters has undesirable side effects on other Vim functionality that
relies on keyword definitions.
Introduce a new buffer-local option 'isexpand' that allows specifying
different completion triggers and add the complete_match() function that
finds the appropriate start column for completion based on these
triggers, scanning backwards from cursor position.
This separation of concerns allows customized completion behavior
without affecting iskeyword-dependent features. The option's
buffer-local nature enables per-filetype completion triggers.

Problem: cannot get information about command line completion
Solution: add CmdlineLeavePre autocommand and cmdcomplete_info() Vim
script function (Girish Palya)
This commit introduces two features to improve introspection and control
over command-line completion in Vim:
- Add CmdlineLeavePre autocmd event:
A new event triggered just before leaving the command line and before
CmdlineLeave. It allows capturing completion-related state that is
otherwise cleared by the time CmdlineLeave fires.
- Add cmdcomplete_info() Vim script function:
Returns a Dictionary with details about the current command-line
completion state.
These are similar in spirit to InsertLeavePre and complete_info(),
but focused on command-line mode.
**Use case:**
In [[PR #16759](https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/16759)], two examples
demonstrate command-line completion: one for live grep, and another for
fuzzy file finding. However, both examples share two key limitations:
1. **Broken history recall (`<Up>`)**
When selecting a completion item via `<Tab>` or `<C-n>`, the original
pattern used for searching (e.g., a regex or fuzzy string) is
overwritten in the command-line history. This makes it impossible to
recall the original query later.
This is especially problematic for interactive grep workflows, where
it’s useful to recall a previous search and simply select a different
match from the menu.
2. **Lack of default selection on `<CR>`**
Often, it’s helpful to allow `<CR>` (Enter) to accept the first match
in the completion list, even when no item is explicitly selected. This
behavior is particularly useful in fuzzy file finding.
----
Below are the updated examples incorporating these improvements:
**Live grep, fuzzy find file, fuzzy find buffer:**
```vim
command! -nargs=+ -complete=customlist,GrepComplete Grep VisitFile()
def GrepComplete(arglead: string, cmdline: string, cursorpos: number):

var altbuf = bufs->indexof((_, v) => v =~ '^\s*\d\+\s\+#')
if altbuf != -1

return arglead == '' ? bufs : bufs->matchfuzzy(arglead)

nnoremap <leader><bs> :Buffer <c-@>
var selected_match = null_string
autocmd CmdlineLeavePre : SelectItem()
def SelectItem()
selected_match = ''
if getcmdline() =~ '^\s*\%(Grep\|Find\|Buffer\)\s'
var info = cmdcomplete_info()
if info != {} && info.pum_visible && !info.matches->empty()
selected_match = info.selected != -1 ? info.matches[info.selected] : info.matches[0]
setcmdline(info.cmdline_orig). # Preserve search pattern in history
endif
endif
enddef
```
**Auto-completion snippet:**
```vim
set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu
autocmd CmdlineChanged : CmdComplete()
def CmdComplete()
var [cmdline, curpos] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos()]
if getchar(1, {number: true}) == 0 # Typehead is empty (no more pasted input)
&& !pumvisible() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
&& cmdline =~ '\%(\w\|[*/:.-]\)$' && cmdline !~ '^\d\+$' # Reduce noise
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "ti")
SkipCmdlineChanged() # Suppress redundant completion attempts
# Remove <C-@> that get inserted when no items are available
timer_start(0, (_) => getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00', '', 'g')->setcmdline())
endif
enddef
cnoremap <expr> <up> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<up>")
cnoremap <expr> <down> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<down>")
autocmd CmdlineEnter : set bo+=error
autocmd CmdlineLeave : set bo-=error
def SkipCmdlineChanged(key = ''): string
set ei+=CmdlineChanged
timer_start(0, (_) => execute('set ei-=CmdlineChanged'))
return key != '' ? ((pumvisible() ? "\<c-e>" : '') .. key) : ''
enddef
```
These customizable snippets can serve as *lightweight* and *native*
alternatives to picker plugins like **FZF** or **Telescope** for common,
everyday workflows. Also, live grep snippet can replace **cscope**
without the overhead of building its database.

Problem: Left shift is incorrect with vartabstop and shiftwidth=0
Solution: make tabstop_at() function aware of shift direction
(Gary Johnson)
The problem was that with 'vartabstop' set and 'shiftwidth' equal 0,
left shifts using << were shifting the line to the wrong column. The
tabstop to the right of the first character in the line was being used
as the shift amount instead of the tabstop to the left of that first
character.
The reason was that the tabstop_at() function always returned the value
of the tabstop to the right of the given column and was not accounting
for the direction of the shift.
The solution was to make tabstop_at() aware of the direction of the
shift and to choose the tabtop accordingly.
A test was added to check this behavior and make sure it doesn't
regress.
While at it, also fix a few indentation/alignment issues.

Problem: getregionpos() can't properly indicate positions beyond eol.
Solution: Add an "eol" flag that enables handling positions beyond end
of line like getpos() does (zeertzjq).
Also fix the problem that a position still has the coladd beyond the end
of the line when its column has been clamped. In the last test case
with TABs at the end of the line the old behavior is obviously wrong.
I decided to gate this behind a flag because returning positions that
don't correspond to actual characters in the line may lead to mistakes
for callers that want to calculate the length of the selected text, so
the behavior is only enabled if the caller wants it.
