Keyesjustinkz@gmail.com2026-04-22T17:40:41Zurn:sha1:28ba06837281e14a7dc5ade143642d11475d2823
Problem:
- The `ZR` feature makes it more obvious that we need some sort of flag so that
an `ExitPre` / `QuitPre` / `VimLeave` handler can handle restarts differently
than a normal exit. For example, it's common that users want `:mksession` on
restart, but perhaps not on a normal exit.
- Nvim has no way to report its "uptime".
Solution:
- Introduce `v:starttime`
- Introduce `v:exitreason`fix(:restart): avoid ERR/WRN logging on Windows with --listen (#39287)2026-04-22T00:12:55Zzeertzjqzeertzjq@outlook.com2026-04-22T00:12:55Zurn:sha1:208951cbc0ccf05b78edbaa10cfa00175e84f864
Problem: :restart leads to ERR/WRN logging on Windows with --listen.
Solution: Add a log_level flag to vim._with() and use it to suppress
logging from serverstart()/serverstop() during restart.fix(:restart): reuse --listen addr on Windows #385392026-04-21T16:49:16ZSanzhar Kuandyk92693103+SanzharKuandyk@users.noreply.github.com2026-04-21T16:49:16Zurn:sha1:5891f2f3dc41eda44c0072d726cf95e54aba85ad
Problem:
On Windows, :restart cannot immediately reuse the canonical --listen
address because named pipe release is asynchronous.
Solution:
Start the new Nvim server on a temporary address; in the new Nvim,
retry serverstart() with the original ("canonical") address until it
succeeds.feat(vimfn): use Lua for more excmds/vimfns2026-04-18T14:57:37ZJustin M. Keyesjustinkz@gmail.com2026-04-17T16:14:14Zurn:sha1:3ebfa2a3cbbed848667fe26c16973ce7e43a04e4
Problem:
Too much boilerplate needed to use Lua to impl an excmd or f_xx
function.
Solution:
- Add `nlua_call_vimfn` which takes the args typval, executes
Lua, and returns a typval.
- refactor(excmd): lua impl for :log, :lsp
build: ship "_core/*" as bytecode (built-into Nvim binary)2025-12-30T06:44:24ZJustin M. Keyesjustinkz@gmail.com2025-08-29T03:43:10Zurn:sha1:20e77c5d886af54d1f7b6844cffc11129f579ad9
Problem:
We want to encourage implementing core features in Lua instead of C, but
it's clumsy because:
- Core Lua code (built into `nvim` so it is available even if VIMRUNTIME
is missing/invalid) requires manually updating CMakeLists.txt, or
stuffing it into `_editor.lua`.
- Core Lua modules are not organized similar to C modules, `_editor.lua`
is getting too big.
Solution:
- Introduce `_core/` where core Lua code can live. All Lua modules added
there will automatically be included as bytecode in the `nvim` binary.
- Move these core modules into `_core/*`:
```
_defaults.lua
_editor.lua
_options.lua
_system.lua
shared.lua
```
TODO:
- Move `_extui/ => _core/ui2/`

Problem:
serverlist() only lists servers that were started by the current Nvim.
Solution:
Look for other Nvim servers in stdpath("run").
