Problem: File paths change from symlink to target path after :cd command
when editing files through symbolic links
Solution: Add "~" flag to 'cpoptions' to control symlink resolution.
When not included (default), symlinks are resolved maintaining
backward compatibility. When included, symlinks are preserved
providing the improved behavior. (glepnir)

Problem: 'wildchar' does not work in search contexts
Solution: implement search completion when 'wildchar' is typed
(Girish Palya).
This change enhances Vim's command-line completion by extending
'wildmode' behavior to search pattern contexts, including:
- '/' and '?' search commands
- ':s', ':g', ':v', and ':vim' commands
Completions preserve the exact regex pattern typed by the user,
appending the completed word directly to the original input. This
ensures that all regex elements — such as '<', '^', grouping brackets
'()', wildcards '\*', '.', and other special characters — remain intact
and in their original positions.
---
**Use Case**
While searching (using `/` or `?`) for lines containing a pattern like
`"foobar"`, you can now type a partial pattern (e.g., `/f`) followed by
a trigger key (`wildchar`) to open a **popup completion menu** showing
all matching words.
This offers two key benefits:
1. **Precision**: Select the exact word you're looking for without
typing it fully.
2. **Memory aid**: When you can’t recall a full function or variable
name, typing a few letters helps you visually identify and complete the
correct symbol.
---
**What’s New**
Completion is now supported in the following contexts:
- `/` and `?` search commands
- `:s`, `:g`, `:v`, and `:vimgrep` ex-commands
---
**Design Notes**
- While `'wildchar'` (usually `<Tab>`) triggers completion, you'll have
to use `<CTRL-V><Tab>` or "\t" to search for a literal tab.
- **Responsiveness**: Search remains responsive because it checks for
user input frequently.
---
**Try It Out**
Basic setup using the default `<Tab>` as the completion trigger:
```vim
set wim=noselect,full wop=pum wmnu
```
Now type:
```
/foo<Tab>
```
This opens a completion popup for matches containing "foo".
For matches beginning with "foo" type `/\<foo<Tab>`.
---
**Optional: Autocompletion**
For automatic popup menu completion as you type in search or `:`
commands, include this in your `.vimrc`:
```vim
vim9script
set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu
autocmd CmdlineChanged [:/?] CmdComplete()
def CmdComplete()
var [cmdline, curpos, cmdmode] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos(),
expand('<afile>') == ':']
var trigger_char = '\%(\w\|[*/:.-]\)$'
var not_trigger_char = '^\%(\d\|,\|+\|-\)\+$' # Exclude numeric range
if getchar(1, {number: true}) == 0 # Typehead is empty, no more
pasted input
&& !wildmenumode() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
&& (!cmdmode || (cmdline =~ trigger_char && cmdline !~
not_trigger_char))
SkipCmdlineChanged()
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "t")
timer_start(0, (_) => getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00', '',
'ge')->setcmdline()) # Remove <C-@>
endif
enddef
def SkipCmdlineChanged(key = ''): string
set ei+=CmdlineChanged
timer_start(0, (_) => execute('set ei-=CmdlineChanged'))
return key == '' ? '' : ((wildmenumode() ? "\<C-E>" : '') .. key)
enddef
**Optional: Preserve history recall behavior**
cnoremap <expr> <Up> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<Up>")
cnoremap <expr> <Down> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<Down>")
**Optional: Customize popup height**
autocmd CmdlineEnter : set bo+=error | exec $'set ph={max([10,
winheight(0) - 4])}'
autocmd CmdlineEnter [/?] set bo+=error | set ph=8
autocmd CmdlineLeave [:/?] set bo-=error ph&

Problem: not possible to translation position in buffer
Solution: use _() macro to mark the output as translatable
(Emir SARI)
Row/Column indicator separator is currently not customizable. Some
languages have a space after the comma as the usual practice, plus this
would help translators use a custom separator like colons if necessary.
Additionally, after a save, the line and the byte indicator is also
hardcoded, this enables i18n for that as well.

Problem: regression when displaying localized percentage position
(after v9.1.1291)
Solution: calculate percentage first (Emir SARI)
Cleanups made in ec032de broke the Turkish percent display, failing to
prepend it properly in cases between 0 and 10. In Turkish, the percent
sign is prepended to the number, so it was displaying it as `% 5`
(should have been `%5`), while displaying numbers bigger than 9 properly.

Problem: inconsistent range arg for :diffget/diffput
Solution: fix the range specification, place the cursor for :diffput and
:diffget consistently on the last line (Yee Cheng Chin)
Previously, `:<range>diffget` only allowed using 1 or above in the range
value, making it impossible to use the command for a diff block at the
beginning of the file. Fix the range specification so the user can now
use 0 to specify the space before the first line. This allows
`:0,$+1diffget` to work to retrieve all the changes from the other file
instead of missing the first diff block. Also do this for `:diffput`.
Also, make `:diffput` work more similar to `:diffget`. Make it so that
if the cursor is on the last line and a new line is inserted in the
other file, doing `:diffput` will select that diff block below the line,
just like `:diffget` would.
Also clean up the logic a little bit for edge cases and for handling
line matched diff blocks better.

Problem: potential buffer-underflow with invalid hl_id (mugitya03)
Solution: assert that the return-code of syn_get_final_id() if > 0
As a safety check, syn_get_final_id() may return zero when either the
provided hl_id is zero or larger than expected.
However, many callers of syn_get_final_id() do not check that the return
value is larger than zero but re-use the returned highlight id directly
like this:
hl_id = syn_get_final_id(hl_id);
sgp = &HL_TABLE()[hl_id - 1]; // index is ID minus one
in which case, this would cause a buffer underrun and an access violation.
Let's use assert(hl_id > 0); to make sure that hl_id is larger than
zero.
Note to myself: I'll need to compile releases builds using -DNDEBUG once
a new release will be made
