Problem: Cannot have a local value for 'scrolloff' and 'sidescrolloff'.
(Gary Holloway)
Solution: Make 'scrolloff' and 'sidescrolloff' global-local. (mostly by
Aron Widforss, closes#3539)
Problem: Giving error messages is not flexible.
Solution: Add semsg(). Change argument from "char_u *" to "char *", also
for msg() and get rid of most MSG macros. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes
#3302) Also make emsg() accept a "char *" argument. Get rid of
an enormous number of type casts.
Problem: Text property highlighting is off by one column. (Bjorn Linse)
Solution: Update text property highlighting earlier. Let it overrule syntax
highlighting.
Problem: line2byte() gives wrong values with text properties. (Bjorn Linse)
Solution: Compute byte offsets differently when text properties were added.
(closes#3718)
Problem: Using sign group names is inefficient.
Solution: Store group names in a hash table and use a reference to them.
Also remove unnecessary use of ":exe" from the tests. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#3715)
Problem: Placing signs can be complicated.
Solution: Add functions for defining and placing signs. Introduce a group
name to avoid different plugins using the same signs. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#3652)
Problem: Pointer ownership around fname_expand() is unclear.
Solution: Allow b_ffname and b_sfname to point to the same allocated memory,
only free one. Update comments.
Problem: Cannot get the script line number when executing a function.
Solution: Store the line number besides the script ID. (Ozaki Kiichi,
closes#3362) Also display the line number with ":verbose set".
Problem: Using an external diff program is slow and inflexible.
Solution: Include the xdiff library. (Christian Brabandt, closes#2732)
Use it by default.
Problem: Vim may block on ch_sendraw() when the job is sending data back to
Vim, which isn't read yet. (Nate Bosch)
Solution: Add the "noblock" option to job_start(). (closes#2548)
Problem: ":profdel func" does not work if func was called already.
(Dominique Pelle)
Solution: Reset uf_profiling and add a flag to indicate initialization was
done.
Problem: Not easy to switch between prompt buffer and other windows.
Solution: Accept CTRL-W commands in Insert mode. Start and stop Insert mode
as one would expect.
Problem: A timer may change v:count unexpectedly.
Solution: Save and restore v:count and similar variables when a timer
callback is invoked. (closes#2897)
Problem: Cannot get a list of all the jobs. Cannot get the command of
the job.
Solution: When job_info() is called without an argument return a list of
jobs. Otherwise, include the command that the job is running.
(Yegappan Lakshmanan)
Problem: Using one item array size declaration is misleading.
Solution: Instead of using "[1]" and actually using a larger array, use
"[]". This is to verify that this C99 feature works for all
compilers.
Problem: Can't set ANSI colors of a terminal window.
Solution: Add term_setansicolors(), term_getansicolors() and
g:term_ansi_colors. (Andy Massimino, closes#2747)
Problem: Terminal windows in a session are not properly restored.
Solution: Add "terminal" in 'sessionoptions'. When possible restore the
command running in a terminal.
