Problem: When evaluating 'statusline' the current window is unknown.
(Daniel Hahler)
Solution: Set "g:actual_curwin" for %{} items. Set "g:statusline_winid"
when evaluationg %!. (closes#4406, closes#3299)
Problem: Using expressions in a modeline is unsafe.
Solution: Disallow using expressions in a modeline, unless the
'modelineexpr' option is set. Update help, add more tests.
Problem: Design for popup window support needs more details.
Solution: Add details about using a window and buffer. Rename popup_show()
to popup_create() and add popup_show() and popup_hide().
Problem: When buffer is hidden "F" in 'shortmess' is not used.
Solution: Check the "F" flag in 'shortmess' when the buffer is already
loaded. (Jason Franklin) Add test_getvalue() to be able to test
this.
Problem: Cannot flush change listeners without also redrawing. The line
numbers in the list of changes may become invalid.
Solution: Add listener_flush(). Invoke listeners before adding a change
that makes line numbers invalid.
Problem: No docs or tests for listener functions.
Solution: Add help and tests for listener_add() and listener_remove().
Invoke the callbacks before redrawing.
Problem: Named function arguments are never optional.
Solution: Support optional function arguments with a default value. (Andy
Massimino, closes#3952)
Problem: Borland support is outdated and doesn't work.
Solution: Remove Borland support, there are other (free) compilers
available. (Thomas Dziedzic, Ken Takata, closes#4364)
Problem: MSVC files are no longer useful for debugging. Newer Visual
Studio versions cannot read them.
Solution: Delete the files. (Ken Takata, closes#4357)
Problem: Remarks about functionality not in Vi clutters the help.
Solution: Move all info about what is new in Vim or already existed in Vi to
vi_diff.txt. Remove {not in Vi} remarks. (closes#4268) Add
"noet" to the help files modeline. Also include many other help
file improvements.
Problem: Cannot see current match position.
Solution: Show "3/44" when using the "n" command and "S" is not in
'shortmess'. (Christian Brabandt, closes#4317)
Problem: No error for quickfix commands with negative range.
Solution: Add ADDR_UNSIGNED and use it for quickfix commands. Make
assert_fails() show the command if the error doesn't match.
Problem: Cannot navigate through errors relative to the cursor.
Solution: Add :cabove, :cbelow, :labove and :lbelow. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,
closes#4316)
Problem: Asking about existing swap file unnecessarily.
Solution: When it is safe, delete the swap file. Remove
HAS_SWAP_EXISTS_ACTION, it is always defined. (closes#1237)
Problem: {not in Vi} remarks get in the way of useful help text.
Solution: Make a list of all Vi options, instead of mentioning what Vi does
not have. Update the help text for options.
Problem: MS-Windows: cannot specify font weight.
Solution: Add the "W" option to 'guifont'. (closes#4309) Move GUI font
explanation out of options.txt.
Problem: Support for user commands is spread out. No good reason to make
user commands optional.
Solution: Move user command support to usercmd.c. Always enable the
user_commands feature.
Problem: Not all Vim variables require the v: prefix.
Solution: When scriptversion is 3 all Vim variables can only be used with
the v: prefix. (Ken Takata, closes#4274)
