Problem: Showing two characters for tab is limited.
Solution: Allow for a third character for "tab:" in 'listchars'. (Nathaniel
Braun, Ken Takata, closes#3810)
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: Custom operators can't act upon a forced motion. (Christian
Wellenbrock)
Solution: Add the forced motion to the mode() result. (Christian Brabandt,
closes#3490)
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: Xdiff doesn't use the Vim memory allocation functions.
Solution: Change the xdl_ defines. Check for out-of-memory. Rename
"ignored" to "vim_ignored".
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: Crash when wiping buffer in a callback.
Solution: Do not handle messages when only peeking for a character.
(closes#2107) Add "redraw_flag" to test_override().
Problem: Segfault when pattern with \z() is very slow.
Solution: Check for NULL regprog. Add "nfa_fail" to test_override() to be
able to test this. Fix that 'searchhl' resets called_emsg.
Problem: In terminal window, typing : at more prompt, inserts ':' instead
of starting another Ex command.
Solution: Add skip_term_loop and set it when putting ':' in the typeahead
buffer.
Problem: Cannot tell whether a register is being used for executing or
recording.
Solution: Add reg_executing() and reg_recording(). (Hirohito Higashi,
closes#2745) Rename the global variables for consistency. Store
the register name in reg_executing.
Problem: No autocmd triggered in Insert mode with visible popup menu.
Solution: Add TextChangedP. (Prabir Shrestha, Christian Brabandt,
closes#2372, closes#1691)
Fix that the TextChanged autocommands are not always triggered
when sourcing a script.
Problem: Weird autocmd may cause arglist to be changed recursively.
Solution: Prevent recursively changing the argument list. (Christian
Brabandt, closes#2472)
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: Mac features are confusing.
Solution: Make feature names more consistent, add "osxdarwin". Rename
feature flags, cleanup Mac code. (Kazunobu Kuriyama, closes#2178)
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: Using try/catch in timer does not prevent it from being stopped.
Solution: Reset the exception context and use did_emsg instead of
called_emsg.
Problem: Get "no write since last change" error in terminal window.
Solution: Use another message when closing a terminal window. Make ":quit!"
also end the job.
Problem: MS-Windows: CTRL-C kills shell in terminal window instead of the
command running in the shell.
Solution: Make CTRL-C only send a CTRL_C_EVENT and have CTRL-BREAK kill the
job. (partly by Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes#1962)
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: Can't use input() in a timer callback. (Cosmin Popescu)
Solution: Reset vgetc_busy and set timer_busy. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes#1790,
closes#1129)
Problem: Package directories are added to 'runtimepath' only after loading
non-package plugins.
Solution: Split off the code to add package directories to 'runtimepath'.
(Ingo Karkat, closes#1680)
Problem: When creating a bufref, then using :bwipe and :new it might get
the same memory and bufref_valid() returns true.
Solution: Add br_fnum to check the buffer number didn't change.
Problem: If a job writes to a buffer and the user is typing a command, the
screen isn't updated. When a message is displayed the changed
buffer may cause it to be cleared. (Ramel Eshed)
Solution: Update the screen and then the command line if the screen didn't
scroll. Avoid inserting screen lines, as it clears any message.
Update the status line when the buffer changed.
Problem: MS-Windows: when 'clipboard' is "unnamed" yyp does not work in a
:global command.
Solution: When setting the clipboard was postponed, do not clear the
register.
