feat(tui): restore 'ttyfast' to control tty requests #38699

2026-04-24T18:45:20Z

Problem: When running nvim on a remote machine over SSH, if there is high ping, then bg detection may not complete in time. This results in a warning every time nvim is started. #38648 Solution: Restore 'ttyfast' option and allow it to control whether or not bg detection is performed. Because this is during startup and before any user config or commands, we use the environment variable `NVIM_NOTTYFAST` to allow disabling `ttyfast` during initialization.

fix(options): default 'titlestring' shows CWD #39233

2026-04-22T09:56:23Z

Problem: In the default 'titlestring', if the containing directory is the CWD, it renders as "." Solution: Add `:p` to the titlestring.

feat(options): add 'winpinned' to pin a window #39157

2026-04-20T00:36:55Z

Problem: - Unable to "pin" a window to prevent closing without specifically being targeted. - :fclose closes hidden windows (even before visible windows). Solution: - Add 'winpinned' window-local option. When set, window is skipped by :fclose and :only. Pin the ui2 cmdline window (which should always be visible), so that it is not closed by :only/fclose. - Skip over hidden (and pinned) windows with :fclose. Co-authored-by: glepnir

vim-patch:8.2.2440: documentation based on patches is outdated (#39144)

2026-04-17T01:50:03Z

Problem: Documentation based on patches is outdated. Solution: Add changes to documentation in a patch. https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/853886722c051ecaef6d818ce32a822e4f43dc2b Trailing space was removed in later patches. Also fix a few more misplaced error numbers from #8155. Co-authored-by: Bram Moolenaar

test: lint EXX error codes #8155

2026-04-16T14:48:11Z

Problem: - Choosing a new EXX error code is tedious. - It's possible to accidentally use an EXX error code for different purposes. Solution: Add a lint check which requires EXX error codes to have a :help tag. This also avoids duplicates because `make doc` does `:helptags ++t doc` which fails if duplicates are found.
