Problem: Tabline is not always redrawn when something that is used in
'tabline' changes.
Solution: Add ":redrawtabline" so that a plugin can at least cause the
redraw when needed.
Problem: ":sign place" only uses the current buffer.
Solution: List signs for all buffers when there is no buffer argument.
Fix error message for invalid buffer name in sign_place().
(Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#3774)
Problem: ":sign place" requires the buffer argument.
Solution: Make the argument optional. Also update the help and clean up the
sign test. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#3767)
Problem: Deleting signs and completion for :sign is insufficient.
Solution: Add deleting signs in a specified or any group from the current
cursor location. Add group and priority to sign command
completion. Add tests for different sign unplace commands. Update
help text. Add tests for sign jump with group. Update help for
sign jump. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#3731)
Problem: Custom operators can't act upon a forced motion. (Christian
Wellenbrock)
Solution: Add the forced motion to the mode() result. (Christian Brabandt,
closes#3490)
Problem: :echomsg and :echoerr do not handle List and Dict like :echo does.
(Daniel Hahler)
Solution: Be more tolerant about the expression result type.
Problem: Placing signs can be complicated.
Solution: Add functions for defining and placing signs. Introduce a group
name to avoid different plugins using the same signs. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#3652)
Problem: :digraph output is not easy to read.
Solution: Add highlighting for :digraphs. (Marcin Szamotulski, closes#3572)
Also add section headers for :digraphs!.
Problem: It is not easy to edit a script that was sourced.
Solution: Add a count to ":scriptnames", so that ":script 40" edits the
script with script ID 40.
Problem: shiftwidth() does not take 'vartabstop' into account.
Solution: Use the cursor position or a position explicitly passed.
Also make >> and << work better with 'vartabstop'. (Christian
Brabandt)
Problem: Cannot build without the sandbox.
Solution: Set the secure option instead of using the sandbox. Also restrict
the characters from 'spelllang' that are used for LANG.vim.
(suggested by Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: CTRL-W ^ does not work when alternate buffer has no name.
Solution: Use another method to split and edit the alternate buffer. (Jason
Franklin)
Problem: Internal diff isn't used by default as advertised.
Solution: Add "internal" to the default value of 'diffopt'.
Also add couple of files missing from the distribution.
Problem: Cannot get the script line number when executing a function.
Solution: Store the line number besides the script ID. (Ozaki Kiichi,
closes#3362) Also display the line number with ":verbose set".
Problem: Using an external diff program is slow and inflexible.
Solution: Include the xdiff library. (Christian Brabandt, closes#2732)
Use it by default.
Problem: Vim may block on ch_sendraw() when the job is sending data back to
Vim, which isn't read yet. (Nate Bosch)
Solution: Add the "noblock" option to job_start(). (closes#2548)
Problem: Crash when wiping buffer in a callback.
Solution: Do not handle messages when only peeking for a character.
(closes#2107) Add "redraw_flag" to test_override().
Problem: Cannot get the window id associated with the location list.
Solution: Add the "filewinid" argument to getloclist(). (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#3202)
