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.

When set to a non-zero value, Vim waits for the specified time before

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.

Problem: Buffer menu does not handle unicode names correctly
(after v9.1.1622)
Solution: Fix the BMHash() function (Yee Cheng Chin)
The Buffers menu uses a BMHash() function to generate a sortable number
to be used for the menu index. It used a naive (and incorrect) way of
encoding multiple ASCII values into a single integer, but assumes each
character to be only in the ASCII 32-96 range. This means if we use
non-ASCII file names (e.g. Unicode values like CJK or emojis) we get
integer underflow and overflow, causing the menu index to wrap around.
Vim's GUI implementations internally use a signed 32-bit integer for the
`gui_mch_add_menu_item()` function and so we need to make sure the menu
index is in the (0, 2^31-1) range.
To do this, if the file name starts with a non-ASCII value, we just use
the first character's value and set the high bit so it sorts after the
other ASCII ones. Otherwise, we just take the first 5 characters, and
use 5 bit for each character to encode a 30-bit number that can be
sorted.
This means Unicode file names won't be sorted beyond the first
character. This is likely going to be fine as there are lots of ways to
query buffers.

Solution: Revert "patch 9.1.1432: GTK GUI: Buffer menu does not handle

This reverts commit 08896dd330.
The previous change to support Unicode characters properly in the
buffers menu resorted to removing all buffer menus and re-add the
buffers after doing a sort, per each buffer addition. This was quite
slow because if Vim is trying to load in multiple buffers at once (e.g.
when loading a session) this scales in O(n^2) and Vim can freeze for
dozens of seconds when adding a few hundred buffers.

Problem: When the popup menu (PUM) occupies more than half the screen
height, it flickers whenever a character is typed or erased.
This happens because the PUM is cleared and the screen is
redrawn before a new PUM is rendered. The extra redraw between
menu updates causes visible flicker.
Solution: A complete, non-hacky fix would require removing the
CmdlineChanged event from the loop and letting autocompletion
manage the process end-to-end. This is because screen redraws
after any cmdline change are necessary for other features to
work.
This change modifies wildtrigger() so that the next typed
character defers the screen update instead of redrawing
immediately. This removes the intermediate redraw, eliminating
flicker and making cmdline autocompletion feel smooth
(Girish Palya).
Trade-offs:
This behavior change in wildtrigger() is tailored specifically for
:h cmdline-autocompletion. wildtrigger() now has no general-purpose use
outside this scenario.

Problem: diff: using diff anchors with hidden buffers fails silently
Solution: Give specific error message for diff anchors when using hidden
buffers (Yee Cheng Chin).
Diff anchors currently will fail to parse if a buffer used for diff'ing
is hidden. Previously it would just fail as the code assumes it would
not happen normally, but this is actually possible to do if `closeoff`
and `hideoff` are not set in diffopt. Git's default diff tool "vimdiff3"
also takes advantage of this.
This fix this properly would require the `{address}` parser to be
smarter about whether a particular address relies on window position or
not (e.g. the `'.` address requires an active window, but `'a` or `1234`
do not). Since hidden diff buffers seem relatively niche, just provide a
better error message / documentation for now. This could be improved
later if there's a demand for it.

As reported in #16559, bytes of a multibyte character may
be written as separate U+FFFD characters in a ":terminal"
window on a busy machine. The testing facilities currently
offer an optional filtering step to be carried out between
reading and comparing the contents of two screendump files
for each such file. This filtering has been resorted to
(#14767 and #16560) in an attempt to unconditionally replace
known non-Latin-1 characters with an arbitrary substitute
ASCII character and avoid this rendering mishap leading to
syntax tests failures. However, it has been overlooked at
the time that metadata description (in shorthand) to follow
spurious U+FFFD characters may be *distinct* and make the
remainder of such a line, ASCII characters and whatnot, also
unequal between compared screendump files.
While it is straightforward to adapt current filter files to
ignore the line characters after the leftmost U+FFFD,
> It is challenging and error-prone to keep up to date filter
> files because moving around examples in source files will
> likely make redundant some previously required filter files
> and, at the same time, it may require creating new filter
> files for the same source file; substituting one multibyte
> character for another multibyte character will also demand
> a coordinated change for filter files.
Besides, unconditionally dropping arbitrary parts of a line
is rather too blunt an instrument. An alternative approach
is to not use the supported filtering for this purpose; let
a syntax test pass or fail initially; then *if* the same
failure is imminent, drop the leftmost U+FFFD and the rest
of the previously seen line (repeating it for all previously
seen unequal lines) before another round of file contents
comparing. The obvious disadvantage with this filtering,
unconditional and otherwise, is that if there are consistent
failures for _other reasons_ and the unequal parts happen to
be after U+FFFDs, then spurious test passing can happen when
stars align for _a particular test runner_.
Hence syntax test authors should strive to write as little
significant text after multibyte characters as syntactically
permissible, write multibyte characters closer to EOL in
general, and make sure that their checked-in and published
"*.dump" files do not have any U+FFFDs.
It is also practical to refrain from attempting screendump
generation if U+FFFDs can already be discovered, and instead
try re-running from scratch the syntax test in hand, while
accepting other recently generated screendumps without going
through with new rounds of verification.

Before two screendumps are compared for equality by calling
"VerifyScreenDump()", parts of their contents can be omitted
from comparison by executing arbitrary Vim commands written
in a filter file that shares its basename with screendumps.
Sometimes, such filtering can only be too general, as more
context is required in order to decide what parts to touch.
Two new arbitrary functions are therefore hooked in the body
of "VerifyScreenDump()" for the purpose of probing into the
current context and applying iterative filtering as needed.
A paired-up public implementation of each function is also
provided to expedite a workaround for #16559:
------------------------------------------------------------

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
