*news.txt* Nvim NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL Notable changes since Nvim 0.10 *news* For changes in the previous release, see |news-0.10|. Type |gO| to see the table of contents. ============================================================================== BREAKING CHANGES IN HEAD *news-breaking-dev* ====== Remove this section before release. ====== The following changes to UNRELEASED features were made during the development cycle (Nvim HEAD, the "master" branch). OPTIONS • 'jumpoptions' flag "unload" has been renamed to "clean". ============================================================================== BREAKING CHANGES *news-breaking* These changes may require adaptations in your config or plugins. API • Improved API "meta" docstrings and :help documentation. • `vim.rpcnotify(0)` and `rpcnotify(0)` broadcast to ALL channels. Previously they would "multicast" only to subscribed channels (controlled by `nvim_subscribe()`). Plugins and clients that want "multicast" behavior must now maintain their own list of channels. • In the future, |vim.rpcnotify()| may accept a list of channels, if there is demand for this use-case. • "Dictionary" was renamed to "Dict" internally and in the RPC |api-metadata|. This is not expected to break clients because there are no known clients that actually use the `return_type` field or the parameter type names reported by |--api-info| or |nvim_get_api_info()|. • Renamed `nvim__id_dictionary` (unsupported/experimental API) to `nvim__id_dict`. DEFAULTS • |]d-default| and |[d-default| accept a count. • |[D-default| and |]D-default| jump to the first and last diagnostic in the current buffer, respectively. DIAGNOSTICS • |vim.diagnostic.config()| accepts a "jump" table to specify defaults for |vim.diagnostic.jump()|. EDITOR • The order in which signs are placed was changed. Higher priority signs will now appear left of lower priority signs. • |hl-CurSearch| now behaves the same as Vim and no longer updates on every cursor movement. • Moving in the buffer list using |:bnext| and similar commands behaves as documented and skips help buffers if run from a non-help buffer, otherwise it moves to another help buffer. EVENTS • TODO LSP • Improved rendering of LSP hover docs. |K-lsp-default| • |vim.lsp.completion.enable()| gained the `convert` callback which enables customizing the transformation of an LSP CompletionItem to |complete-items|. • |vim.lsp.diagnostic.from()| can be used to convert a list of |vim.Diagnostic| objects into their LSP diagnostic representation. LUA • API functions now consistently return an empty dictionary as |vim.empty_dict()|. Earlier, a |lua-special-tbl| was sometimes used. • Command-line completions for: `vim.g`, `vim.t`, `vim.w`, `vim.b`, `vim.v`, `vim.o`, `vim.wo`, `vim.bo`, `vim.opt`, `vim.opt_local`, `vim.opt_global`, and `vim.fn`. OPTIONS • The 'statuscolumn' `%l` item can now be used as a number column segment that changes according to related options. It takes care of alignment, 'number', 'relativenumber' and 'signcolumn' set to "number". The now redundant `%r` item is no longer treated specially for 'statuscolumn'. PLUGINS • TODO TREESITTER • |Query:iter_matches()| correctly returns all matching nodes in a match instead of only the last node. This means that the returned table maps capture IDs to a list of nodes that need to be iterated over. For backwards compatibility, an option `all=false` (only return the last matching node) is provided that will be removed in a future release. • |vim.treesitter.language.get_filetypes()| always includes the {language} argument in addition to explicitly registered filetypes. • |vim.treesitter.language.get_lang()| falls back to the {filetype} argument if no languages are explicitly registered. • |vim.treesitter.language.add()| returns `true` if a parser was loaded successfully and `nil,errmsg` otherwise instead of throwing an error. TUI • TODO VIMSCRIPT • |v:msgpack_types| has the type "binary" removed. |msgpackparse()| no longer treats BIN, STR and FIXSTR as separate types. Any of these is returned as a string if possible, or a |blob| if the value contained embedded NUL:s. ============================================================================== NEW FEATURES *news-features* The following new features were added. API • |nvim__ns_set()| can set properties for a namespace DEFAULTS • Highlighting: • Improved styling of :checkhealth and :help buffers. • Mappings: • |grn| in Normal mode maps to |vim.lsp.buf.rename()| • |grr| in Normal mode maps to |vim.lsp.buf.references()| • |gra| in Normal and Visual mode maps to |vim.lsp.buf.code_action()| • CTRL-S in Insert mode maps to |vim.lsp.buf.signature_help()| • Mouse |popup-menu| includes an "Open in web browser" item when you right-click on a URL. • Mouse |popup-menu| includes a "Go to definition" item when LSP is active in the buffer. • Mappings inspired by Tim Pope's vim-unimpaired: • |[q|, |]q|, |[Q|, |]Q|, |[CTRL-Q|, |]CTRL-Q| navigate through the |quickfix| list • |[l|, |]l|, |[L|, |]L|, |[CTRL-L|, |]CTRL-L| navigate through the |location-list| • |[t|, |]t|, |[T|, |]T|, |[CTRL-T|, |]CTRL-T| navigate through the |tag-matchlist| • |[a|, |]a|, |[A|, |]A| navigate through the |argument-list| • |[b|, |]b|, |[B|, |]B| navigate through the |buffer-list| • Snippet: • `` in Insert and Select mode maps to `vim.snippet.jump({ direction = 1 })` when a snippet is active and jumpable forwards. • `` in Insert and Select mode maps to `vim.snippet.jump({ direction = -1 })` when a snippet is active and jumpable backwards. EDITOR • Improved |paste| handling for redo (dot-repeat) and macros (|recording|): • Redoing a large paste is significantly faster and ignores 'autoindent'. • Replaying a macro with |@| also replays pasted text. • On Windows, filename arguments on the command-line prefixed with "~\" or "~/" are now expanded to the user's profile directory, not a relative path to a literal "~" directory. • |hl-PmenuMatch| and |hl-PmenuMatchSel| show matched text in completion popup. EVENTS • |CompleteDone| now sets the `reason` key in `v:event` which specifies the reason for completion being done. LSP • Completion side effects (including snippet expansion, execution of commands and application of additional text edits) is now built-in. • |vim.lsp.util.locations_to_items()| sets `end_col` and `end_lnum` fields. • |vim.lsp.buf.format()| now supports passing a list of ranges via the `range` parameter (this requires support for the `textDocument/rangesFormatting` request). LUA • |vim.fs.rm()| can delete files and directories. OPTIONS • 'completeopt' flag "fuzzy" enables |fuzzy-matching| during |ins-completion|. • 'tabclose' controls which tab page to focus when closing a tab page. PERFORMANCE • TODO PLUGINS • EditorConfig • spelling_language property is now supported. STARTUP • Nvim will fail if the |--listen| or |$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS| address is invalid, instead of silently skipping an invalid address. TERMINAL • The |terminal| now understands the OSC 52 escape sequence to write to the system clipboard (copy). Querying with OSC 52 (paste) is not supported. • |hl-StatusLineTerm| and |hl-StatusLineTermNC| define highlights for the status line in |terminal| windows. • The terminal buffer now supports reflow (wrapped lines adapt when the buffer is resized horizontally). Note: Lines that are not visible and kept in 'scrollback' are not reflown. • The |terminal| now supports OSC 8 escape sequences and will display hyperlinks in supporting host terminals. TREESITTER • |LanguageTree:node_for_range()| gets anonymous and named nodes for a range • |vim.treesitter.get_node()| now takes an option `include_anonymous`, default false, which allows it to return anonymous nodes as well as named nodes. TUI • The builtin UI declares info |nvim_set_client_info()| on its channel. See |startup-tui|. To see the current UI info, try this: > :lua =vim.api.nvim_get_chan_info(vim.api.nvim_list_uis()[1].chan) • |log| messages written by the builtin UI client (TUI, |--remote-ui|) are now prefixed with "ui" instead of "?". UI • |vim.ui.open()| (by default bound to |gx|) accepts an `opt.cmd` parameter which controls the tool used to open the given path or URL. If you want to globally set this, you can override vim.ui.open using the same approach described at |vim.paste()|. ============================================================================== CHANGED FEATURES *news-changed* These existing features changed their behavior. • 'scrollbind' now works properly with buffers that contain virtual lines. Scrollbind works by aligning to a target top line of each window in a tab page. Previously this was done by calculating the difference between the old top line and the target top line, and scrolling by that amount. Now the top lines are calculated using screen line numbers which take virtual lines into account. • The implementation of grapheme clusters (or combining chars |mbyte-combining|) was upgraded to closely follow extended grapheme clusters as defined by UAX#29 in the unicode standard. Noteworthily, this enables proper display of many more emoji characters than before, including those encoded with multiple emoji codepoints combined with ZWJ (zero width joiner) codepoints. ============================================================================== REMOVED FEATURES *news-removed* These deprecated features were removed. • N/A ============================================================================== DEPRECATIONS *news-deprecations* See |deprecated-0.11|. vim:tw=78:ts=8:sw=2:et:ft=help:norl:
