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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.
