474b981e40 patch 9.1.1835: completion: not possible to style popup borders globally
Problem:  not possible to style popup borders globally
Solution: Add the 'pumborder' option (Girish Palya)

This commit introduces a new global option, 'pumborder' ('pb'), that
allows users to define borders and optional decorations for the
completion popup menu.

```
Defines a border and optional decorations for the popup menu in
completion.  The value is a comma-separated list of keywords.

Border styles (at most one):
"single"singleuse thin box-drawing characters
"double"doubleuse double-line box-drawing characters
"round"rounduse rounded corners
"ascii"asciiuse ASCII characters (-, |, +)
"custom:XXXXXXXX"
    use eight characters given after "custom:",
    in order: top, right, bottom, left,
    topleft, topright, botright, botleft

Additional flags:
"margin"marginadds one-cell spacing inside the left and right border
"shadow"shadowdraws a shadow at the right and bottom edges

Highlight groups:
|hl-PmenuBorder|hl-PmenuBorderused for the border characters
|hl-PmenuShadow|hl-PmenuShadowused for the shadow

Examples: >
  :set pumborder=single
  :set pumborder=double,margin,shadow
  :set pumborder=custom:─│─│┌┐┘└,shadow

Border styles using box-drawing characters ("single", "double",
"round") are only available when |'encoding'| is "utf-8" and
|'ambiwidth'| is "single".  "margin" requires a border style.
See also: |ins-completion-menu|.

2c09368273 patch 9.1.1834: MS-Windows: not possible to highlight the title bar
Problem:  MS-Windows: not possible to highlight the title bar
Solution: Make the title/caption bar configurable by introducing the
          'go-C' option value which allows to highlight it using the
          TitleBar and TitleBarNC highlighting groups (Mao-Yining).

Introduce titlebar color customization for Windows 11 GUI through
highlight groups and new 'guioptions' flag:

- Add 'C' flag to enable titlebar color customization (opt-in)
- New highlight groups: TitleBar (active) and TitleBarNC (inactive)
- Uses DWMWA_CAPTION_COLOR and DWMWA_TEXT_COLOR DWM attributes
- Dynamically loads dwmapi.dll for Windows 11 compatibility
- Defaults to system colors when set to NONE or feature disabled

This commit seen the caption bar as the extension of the background so
it is follow the option 'background' before Windows 11 and follow the
background color after Windows 11.

9d5208a931 patch 9.1.1802: 'nowrap' in a modeline may hide malicious code
Problem:  'nowrap' in a modeline may hide malicious code.
Solution: Forcibly use '>' as 'listchars' "extends" if 'nowrap' was set
          from a modeline (zeertzjq).

Manual `:setlocal nowrap` disables this behavior.  There is a separate
problem with `:set nowrap` that also applies to some other options.

Problem:  completion: autocompletion can be improved
Solution: Add support for "longest" and "preinsert" in 'autocomplete';

* Add support for "longest" in 'completeopt' when 'autocomplete'
  is enabled. (Note: the cursor position does not change automatically
  when 'autocomplete' is enabled.)
* Add support for "preinsert" when 'autocomplete' is enabled. Ensure
  "preinsert" works the same with and without 'autocomplete'
* introduce the preinserted() Vim script function, useful for defining
  custom key mappings.

976b365305 patch 9.1.1753: defaults: 'diffopt' option value can be improved
Problem:  defaults: 'diffopt' option value can be improved
Solution: Update diffopt defaults to include "indent-heuristic" and
          "inline:char" (Yee Cheng Chin)

The default diff options have not been updated much despite new
functionality having been added to Vim.

- indent-heurstic: This has been enabled by default in Git since
  33de716387 in 2017. Given that Vim uses xdiff from Git, it makes sense
  to track the default configuration from Git.

- inline:char: This turns on character-wise inline highlighting which is
  generally much better than the default inline:simple. It has been
  implemented since #16881 and we have not seen reports of any issues
  with it, and it has received good feedbacks.

cd9d30486a patch 9.1.1743: Haiku: no full-screen support
Problem:  Haiku: no full-screen support
Solution: Add support for toggling full-screen using the keyboard
          (rymdbar)

Makes toggling using keyboard possible. This change does not add any
`:fullscreen` command (Which currently only macVim has).

See https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/keyboard-shortcuts.html
for motivation on key combination used, as well as terminology choice.
With vim being inconsistent (`:help intro` suggests <A> and <M>, while
<Alt> is used at a dozen other places) following Haiku nomenclature
seems most appropriate.

Problem:  Unicode has deprecated some code-points
Solution: Update the digraph tables to align with the Unicode v16
          release (David Friant)

This commit updates the digraphs Left-Pointing Angle Bracket '</'
and Right-Pointing Angle Bracket '/>' to account for the fact that
the old Unicode codepoints for them (2329 and 232A, respectively)
have been deprecated. As per the Miscellaneous Technical code chart
(https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2300.pdf), the old digraphs
have been reassigned to the CJK Left Angle Bracket and Right Angle
Bracket (3008 and 3009) with their declaration moved to the
appropriate block.

This commit also introduces the new digraphs '<[' and ']>' to
represent the Mathematical Left Angle Bracket and Mathematical
Right Angle Bracket (27E8 and 27E9) to replace the deprecated code
points in the Technical block.

Tests have been added and, I believe, the documentation has been
updated accordingly.

a09b1604d4 patch 9.1.1638: completion: not possible to delay the autcompletion
Problem:  completion: not possible to delay the autcompletion
Solution: add the 'autocompletedelay' option value (Girish Palya).

This patch introduces a new global option 'autocompletedelay'/'acl' that
specifies the delay, in milliseconds, before the autocomplete menu
appears after typing.

When set to a non-zero value, Vim waits for the specified time before
showing the completion popup, allowing users to reduce distraction from
rapid suggestion pop-ups or to fine-tune the responsiveness of
completion.

The default value is 0, which preserves the current immediate-popup
behavior.

7e0df5eee9 patch 9.1.1627: fuzzy matching can be improved
Problem:  fuzzy-matching can be improved
Solution: Implement a better fuzzy matching algorithm
          (Girish Palya)

Replace fuzzy matching algorithm with improved fzy-based implementation

The
[current](https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/reverse_engineering_sublime_texts_fuzzy_match/)
fuzzy matching algorithm has several accuracy issues:

* It struggles with CamelCase
* It fails to prioritize matches at the beginning of strings, often
  ranking middle matches higher.

After evaluating alternatives (see my comments
[here](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17531#issuecomment-3112046897)
and
[here](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17531#issuecomment-3121593900)),
I chose to adopt the [fzy](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy) algorithm,
which:

* Resolves the aforementioned issues.
* Performs better.

Implementation details

This version is based on the original fzy
[algorithm](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy/blob/master/src/match.c),
with one key enhancement: **multibyte character support**.

* The original implementation supports only ASCII.
* This patch replaces ascii lookup tables with function calls, making it
  compatible with multibyte character sets.
* Core logic (`match_row()` and `match_positions()`) remains faithful to
  the original, but now operates on codepoints rather than single-byte
  characters.

Performance

Tested against a dataset of **90,000 Linux kernel filenames**. Results
(in milliseconds) show a **\~2x performance improvement** over the
current fuzzy matching algorithm.

af9a7a04f1 patch 9.1.1590: cannot perform autocompletion
Problem:  cannot perform autocompletion
Solution: Add the 'autocomplete' option value
          (Girish Palya)

This change introduces the 'autocomplete' ('ac') boolean option to
enable automatic popup menu completion during insert mode. When enabled,
Vim shows a completion menu as you type, similar to pressing |i\_CTRL-N|
manually. The items are collected from sources defined in the
'complete' option.

To ensure responsiveness, this feature uses a time-sliced strategy:

- Sources earlier in the 'complete' list are given more time.
- If a source exceeds its allocated timeout, it is interrupted.
- The next source is then started with a reduced timeout (exponentially
  decayed).
- A small minimum ensures every source still gets a brief chance to
  contribute.

The feature is fully compatible with other |i_CTRL-X| completion modes,
which can temporarily suspend automatic completion when triggered.

See :help 'autocomplete' and :help ins-autocompletion for more details.

To try it out, use :set ac

You should see a popup menu appear automatically with suggestions. This
works seamlessly across:

- Large files (multi-gigabyte size)
- Massive codebases (:argadd thousands of .c or .h files)
- Large dictionaries via the `k` option
- Slow or blocking LSP servers or user-defined 'completefunc'

Despite potential slowness in sources, the menu remains fast,
responsive, and useful.

Compatibility: This mode is fully compatible with existing completion
methods. You can still invoke any CTRL-X based completion (e.g.,
CTRL-X CTRL-F for filenames) at any time (CTRL-X temporarily
suspends 'autocomplete'). To specifically use i_CTRL-N, dismiss the
current popup by pressing CTRL-E first.

---

How it works

To keep completion snappy under all conditions, autocompletion uses a
decaying time-sliced algorithm:

- Starts with an initial timeout (80ms).
- If a source does not complete within the timeout, it's interrupted and
  the timeout is halved for the next source.
- This continues recursively until a minimum timeout (5ms) is reached.
- All sources are given a chance, but slower ones are de-prioritized
  quickly.

Most of the time, matches are computed well within the initial window.

---

Implementation details

- Completion logic is mostly triggered in `edit.c` and handled in
  insexpand.c.

- Uses existing inc_compl_check_keys() mechanism, so no new polling
  hooks are needed.

- The completion system already checks for user input periodically; it
  now also checks for timer expiry.

---

Design notes

- The menu doesn't continuously update after it's shown to prevent
  visual distraction (due to resizing) and ensure the internal list
  stays synchronized with the displayed menu.

- The 'complete' option determines priority—sources listed earlier get
  more time.

- The exponential time-decay mechanism prevents indefinite collection,
  contributing to low CPU usage and a minimal memory footprint.

- Timeout values are intentionally not configurable—this system is
  optimized to "just work" out of the box. If autocompletion feels slow,
  it typically indicates a deeper performance bottleneck (e.g., a slow
  custom function not using `complete_check()`) rather than a
  configuration issue.

---

Performance

Based on testing, the total roundtrip time for completion is generally
under 200ms. For common usage, it often responds in under 50ms on an
average laptop, which falls within the "feels instantaneous" category
(sub-100ms) for perceived user experience.

| Upper Bound (ms) | Perceived UX
|----------------- |-------------
| <100 ms          | Excellent; instantaneous
| <200 ms          | Good; snappy
| >300 ms          | Noticeable lag
| >500 ms          | Sluggish/Broken

---

Why this belongs in core:

- Minimal and focused implementation, tightly integrated with existing
  Insert-mode completion logic.
- Zero reliance on autocommands and external scripting.
- Makes full use of Vim’s highly composable 'complete' infrastructure
  while avoiding the complexity of plugin-based solutions.
- Gives users C native autocompletion with excellent responsiveness and
  no configuration overhead.
- Adds a key UX functionality in a simple, performant, and Vim-like way.

b486ed8266 patch 9.1.1576: cannot easily trigger wildcard expansion
Problem:  cannot easily trigger wildcard expansion
Solution: Introduce wildtrigger() function
          (Girish Palya)

This PR introduces a new `wildtrigger()` function.

See `:h wildtrigger()`

`wildtrigger()` behaves like pressing the `wildchar,` but provides a
more refined and controlled completion experience:

- Suppresses beeps when no matches are found.
- Avoids displaying irrelevant completions (like full command lists)
  when the prefix is insufficient or doesn't match.
- Skips completion if the typeahead buffer has pending input or if a
  wildmenu is already active.
- Does not print "..." before completion.

This is an improvement on the `feedkeys()` based autocompletion script
given in #16759.

fb45809f01 patch 9.1.1562: close button always visible in the 'tabline'
Problem:  close button "X" is visible in the non-GUI 'tabline', even
          when the mouse is disabled
Solution: only show the button when 'mouse' contains any of the flags
          "anvi" (Girish Palya)

The tabline always displays an "X" (close) button, and the info popup
shows both a close button and a resize handle—even when the mouse is
disabled. These UI elements are only actionable with the mouse and serve
no purpose for keyboard users who disable the mouse. Displaying
non-functional, clickable elements in a non-GUI environment is
misleading and adds unnecessary visual clutter.

So remove the close button and resize handle when the mouse is disabled.
They appear again when mouse is enabled.

0d9160e11c patch 9.1.1557: not possible to anchor specific lines in difff mode
Problem:  not possible to anchor specific lines in difff mode
Solution: Add support for the anchoring lines in diff mode using the
          'diffanchor' option (Yee Cheng Chin).

Adds support for anchoring specific lines to each other while viewing a
diff. While lines are anchored, they are guaranteed to be aligned to
each other in a diff view, allowing the user to control and inform the
diff algorithm what the desired alignment is. Internally, this is done
by splitting up the buffer at each anchor and run the diff algorithm on
each split section separately, and then merge the results back for a
logically consistent diff result.

To do this, add a new "diffanchors" option that takes a list of
`{address}`, and a new "diffopt" option value "anchor". Each address
specified will be an anchor, and the user can choose to use any type of
address, including marks, line numbers, or pattern search. Anchors are
sorted by line number in each file, and it's possible to have multiple
anchors on the same line (this is useful when doing multi-buffer diff).
Update documentation to provide examples.

This is similar to Git diff's `--anchored` flag. Other diff tools like
Meld/Araxis Merge also have similar features (called "synchronization
points" or "synchronization links"). We are not using Git/Xdiff's
`--anchored` implementation here because it has a very limited API
(it requires usage of the Patience algorithm, and can only anchor
unique lines that are the same across both files).

Because the user could anchor anywhere, diff anchors could result in
adjacent diff blocks (one block is directly touching another without a
gap), if there is a change right above the anchor point. We don't want
to merge these diff blocks because we want to line up the change at the
anchor. Adjacent diff blocks were first allowed when linematch was
added, but the existing code had a lot of branched paths where
line-matched diff blocks were handled differently. As a part of this
change, refactor them to have a more unified code path that is
generalized enough to handle adjacent diff blocks correctly and without
needing to carve in exceptions all over the place.

'showcmd' was already always enabled in Vim compatible mode except for
UNIX environments. So let's just enable it always, there is no good
reason why UNIX platforms should be handled differently than other
platforms, especially since `defaults.vim` did enable this option
anyhow.

93c2d5bf7f patch 9.1.1526: completion: search completion match may differ in case
Problem:  completion: search completion match may differ in case
          (techntools)
Solution: add "exacttext" to 'wildoptions' value (Girish Palya)

This flag does the following:

exacttext
      When this flag is present, search pattern completion
      (e.g., in |/|, |?|, |:s|, |:g|, |:v|, and |:vim|)
      shows exact buffer text as menu items, without
      preserving regex artifacts like position
      anchors (e.g., |/\<|). This provides more intuitive
      menu items that match the actual buffer text. However,
      searches may be less accurate since the pattern is not
      preserved exactly.
      By default, Vim preserves the typed pattern (with
      anchors) and appends the matched word. This preserves
      search correctness, especially when using regular
      expressions or with 'smartcase' enabled. However, the
      case of the appended matched word may not exactly
      match the case of the word in the buffer.
