Problem: Macros for MS-Windows are inconsistent, using "32", "3264 and
others.
Solution: Use MSWIN for all MS-Windows builds. Use FEAT_GUI_MSWIN for the
GUI build. (Hirohito Higashi, closes#3932)
Problem: MS-Windows: inconsistent selection of winpty/conpty.
Solution: Name option 'termwintype', use ++type argument and "term_pty" for
term_start(). (Hirohito Higashi, closes#3915)
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: Terminal window options are named inconsistently.
Solution: prefix terminal window options with "termwin". Keep the old names
for now as an alias.
Problem: Shell commands in the GUI use a dumb terminal.
Solution: Add the "!" flag to 'guioptions' to execute system commands in a
special terminal window. Only for Unix now.
Problem: Terminal windows in a session are not properly restored.
Solution: Add "terminal" in 'sessionoptions'. When possible restore the
command running in a terminal.
Problem: It is difficult to set the python home directory properly for
Python 2.7 and 3.5 since both use $PYTHONHOME.
Solution: Add the 'pythonhome' and 'pythonthreehome' options. (Kazuki
Sakamoto, closes#1266)
Problem: Cannot use imactivatefunc() unless compiled with +xim.
Solution: Allow using imactivatefunc() when not compiled with +xim.
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes#2349)
Problem: balloon_show() only works in terminal when compiled with the GUI.
Solution: Add FEAT_BEVAL_GUI and refactor to move common code out of the GUI
specific file.
Problem: Cannot use 'balloonexpr' in a terminal.
Solution: Add 'balloonevalterm' and add code to handle mouse movements in a
terminal. Initial implementation for Unix with GUI.
Problem: GUI window always resizes when adding/removing a scrollbar,
toolbar, etc.
Solution: Add the 'k' flag in 'guioptions' to keep the GUI window size and
change the number of lines/columns instead. (Ychin, closes#703)
Problem: FEAT_WINDOWS adds a lot of #ifdefs while it is nearly always
enabled and only adds 7% to the binary size of the tiny build.
Solution: Graduate FEAT_WINDOWS.
Problem: winpty.dll name is fixed.
Solution: Add the 'winptydll' option. Make the default name depend on
whether it is a 32-bit or 64-bit build. (idea by Yasuhiro
Matsumoto, closes#1978)
Problem: Not easy to start Vim cleanly without changing the viminfo file.
Not possible to know whether the -i command line flag was used.
Solution: Add the --clean command line argument. Add the 'viminfofile'
option. Add "-u DEFAULTS".
Problem: No terminal emulator support. Cannot properly run commands in the
GUI. Cannot run a job interactively with an ssh connection.
Solution: Very early implementation of the :terminal command. Includes
libvterm converted to ANSI C. Many parts still missing.
Problem: It is not so easy to write a script that works with both Python 2
and Python 3, even when the Python code works with both.
Solution: Add 'pyxversion', :pyx, etc. (Marc Weber, Ken Takata)
Problem: 'formatprg' is a global option but the value may depend on the
type of buffer. (Sung Pae)
Solution: Make 'formatprg' global-local. (closes#1380)
Problem: The 'langnoremap' option leads to double negatives. And it does
not work for the last character of a mapping.
Solution: Add 'langremap' with the opposite value. Keep 'langnoremap' for
backwards compatibility. Make it work for the last character of a
mapping. Make the test work.
Problem: There is no equivalent of 'smartcase' for a tag search.
Solution: Add value "followscs" and "smart" to 'tagcase'. (Christian
Brabandt, closes#712) Turn tagcase test into new style.
Problem: Setting 'display' to "lastline" is a drastic change, while
omitting it results in lots of "@" lines.
Solution: Add "truncate" to show "@@@" for a truncated line.
Problem: The versplit feature makes the code uneccessary complicated.
Solution: Remove FEAT_VERTSPLIT, always support vertical splits when
FEAT_WINDOWS is defined.
Problem: Although emoji characters are ambiguous width, best is to treat
them as full width.
Solution: Update the Unicode character tables. Add the 'emoji' options.
