Problem: completion: cannot configure completion functions with
'complete'
Solution: add support for setting completion functions using the f and o
flag for 'complete' (Girish Palya)
This change adds two new values to the `'complete'` (`'cpt'`) option:
- `f` – invokes the function specified by the `'completefunc'` option
- `f{func}` – invokes a specific function `{func}` (can be a string or `Funcref`)
These new flags extend keyword completion behavior (e.g., via `<C-N>` /
`<C-P>`) by allowing function-based sources to participate in standard keyword
completion.
**Key behaviors:**
- Multiple `f{func}` values can be specified, and all will be called in order.
- Functions should follow the interface defined in `:help complete-functions`.
- When using `f{func}`, escaping is required for spaces (with `\`) and commas
(with `\\`) in `Funcref` names.
- If a function sets `'refresh'` to `'always'`, it will be re-invoked on every
change to the input text. Otherwise, Vim will attempt to reuse and filter
existing matches as the input changes, which matches the default behavior of
other completion sources.
- Matches are inserted at the keyword boundary for consistency with other completion methods.
- If finding matches is time-consuming, `complete_check()` can be used to
maintain responsiveness.
- Completion matches are gathered in the sequence defined by the `'cpt'`
option, preserving source priority.
This feature increases flexibility of standard completion mechanism and may
reduce the need for external completion plugins for many users.
**Examples:**
Complete matches from [LSP](https://github.com/yegappan/lsp) client. Notice the use of `refresh: always` and `function()`.
```vim
set cpt+=ffunction("g:LspCompletor"\\,\ [5]). # maxitems = 5
def! g:LspCompletor(maxitems: number, findstart: number, base: string): any
if findstart == 1
return g:LspOmniFunc(findstart, base)
endif
return {words: g:LspOmniFunc(findstart, base)->slice(0, maxitems), refresh: 'always'}
enddef
autocmd VimEnter * g:LspOptionsSet({ autoComplete: false, omniComplete: true })
```
Complete matches from `:iabbrev`.
```vim
set cpt+=fAbbrevCompletor
def! g:AbbrevCompletor(findstart: number, base: string): any
if findstart > 0
var prefix = getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1)->matchstr('\S\+$')
if prefix->empty()
return -2
endif
return col('.') - prefix->len() - 1
endif
var lines = execute('ia', 'silent!')
if lines =~? gettext('No abbreviation found')
return v:none # Suppresses warning message
endif
var items = []
for line in lines->split("\n")
var m = line->matchlist('\v^i\s+\zs(\S+)\s+(.*)$')
if m->len() > 2 && m[1]->stridx(base) == 0
items->add({ word: m[1], info: m[2], dup: 1 })
endif
endfor
return items->empty() ? v:none :
items->sort((v1, v2) => v1.word < v2.word ? -1 : v1.word ==# v2.word ? 0 : 1)
enddef
```
**Auto-completion:**
Vim's standard completion frequently checks for user input while searching for
new matches. It is responsive irrespective of file size. This makes it
well-suited for smooth auto-completion. You can try with above examples:
```vim
set cot=menuone,popup,noselect inf
autocmd TextChangedI * InsComplete()
def InsComplete()
if getcharstr(1) == '' && getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1) =~ '\k$'
SkipTextChangedIEvent()
feedkeys("\<c-n>", "n")
endif
enddef
inoremap <silent> <c-e> <c-r>=<SID>SkipTextChangedIEvent()<cr><c-e>
def SkipTextChangedIEvent(): string
# Suppress next event caused by <c-e> (or <c-n> when no matches found)
set eventignore+=TextChangedI
timer_start(1, (_) => {
set eventignore-=TextChangedI
})
return ''
enddef
```

Problem:
- Help tags provide a good way to navigate the Vim documentation, but
many help documents don't use them effectively. I think one of the
reasons is that help writers have to look up help tags manually with
`:help` command, which is not very convenient.
- 'iskeyword' is only set for help buffers opened by `:help` command.
That means if I'm editing a help file, I cannot jump to tag in same
file using `Ctrl-]` unless I manually set it, which is annoying.
Solution:
- Add omni completion for Vim help tags.
- Set 'iskeyword' for `ft-help`

Problem: inline word diff treats multibyte chars as word char
(after 9.1.1243)
Solution: treat all non-alphanumeric characters as non-word characters
(Yee Cheng Chin)
Previously inline word diff simply used Vim's definition of keyword to
determine what is a word, which leads to multi-byte character classes
such as emojis and CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) characters all
classifying as word characters, leading to entire sentences being
grouped as a single word which does not provide meaningful information
in a diff highlight.
Fix this by treating all non-alphanumeric characters (with class number
above 2) as non-word characters, as there is usually no benefit in using
word diff on them. These include CJK characters, emojis, and also
subscript/superscript numbers. Meanwhile, multi-byte characters like
Cyrillic and Greek letters will still continue to considered as words.
Note that this is slightly inconsistent with how words are defined
elsewhere, as Vim usually considers any character with class >=2 to be
a "word".

Services, Excel, and Power BI workbooks, in addition to many online
services, such as Fabric, Power BI service, Power Apps, Microsoft 365
Customer Insights, and more. A core capability of Power Query is to
filter and combine, that is, to mash-up data from one or more of a rich
collection of supported data sources. Any such data mashup is expressed
using the Power Query M formula language. The M language is a
functional, case sensitive language similar to F#.
