We are heartbroken by the loss of the Vim boss.
Rest in peace, Bram.

Neovim LSP client now supports "inlay hints" for language servers that provide it (clangd, rust-analyzer). Nice way to see parameters names on-demand!
Toggle hints in latest Nvim 0.10 (API is not final):

All Vimscript functions are now annotated as "docstrings":
which means:
- ":help vimscript-functions" is now generated
- can LSP hover on vim.fn.xx
- "which-key" plugins / fuzzy finders can show Vimscript function docs on the fly.

LSP-driven auto-completion is in Nvim 0.11, thanks to
@MariaSolanoOs
! Enable it from on_attach:
vim.lsp.completion.enable(true, client_id, 0, {autotrigger=true})

Nvim is a fork of Vim, created by Bram Moolenaar. To this day, it's still evident how much of his work is in Nvim.
On Aug 3, 2023, he passed away at the age of 62. If Vim or Nvim have been of use to you, read :help Uganda and consider honoring his memory in a way you see fit.

Nvim (and Vim) now supports "sticky buffers", so you can clamp a window to a specific buffer. Features like quickfix won't unintentionally use that window for showing other buffers. Try it out:
:edit foo
:setlocal winfixbuf
:edit bar

LSP hover ("K" mapping by default) is now rendered with Nvim's builtin treesitter markdown parser.

The upcoming 0.4.x "floating window" feature is seeing early adoption, though it isn't merged yet. Like 'pumblend', this work is based on Nvim's UI compositor and "multigrid" architecture.

feedback loop: Neovim users are also the most-loved
Hey
@lexfridman
, since
@Neovim
has won most loved/admired editor several years in a row for the Stackoverflow survey (and it's the editor 10+% of devs use), maybe you'd be interested in talking about open source developer tools and making software that developers can love?

0.8 (unreleased) now includes treesitter parsers for C, Lua, and Vimscript. This is a step towards "treesitter by default" for common languages, instead of regex-based vim syntax definitions.

Yank to clipboard now works even from remote SSH, with OSC 52 + compatible terminal (hint: most except macOS Terminal):

Floating windows now support pseudo-transparency (:help 'winblend') in

HEAD (v0.4.x).
Yes, it works in the TUI (":set termguicolors" in a truecolor-capable terminal for best results).
Nice experimenting

:fclose (Nvim 0.10) closes floating windows. Demo:
function f(z)
vim.api.nvim_open_win(0, false, {relative='editor', width=5+z,height=5+z,row=5+z,col=5+z,border='single',zindex=z})
end
f(1)
f(2)
:1fclose closes top (highest z-index) float.
:fclose! closes all floats.

NVM shows how Nvim's externalizable UI (:help ui-ext-options) exposes windows as layers, which can overlap other GUI application windows in your OS!
run GUI apps in Nvim using NWM ("Neovim Window Manager")
> spawn a rootfull Xwayland window and start nxwm.
> The :Browser command runs Firefox in kiosk mode
very cool, altermo!

:TOhtml was rewritten in Lua (50% less code, ∞ more tests), supports extmarks/treesitter highlights.
As an alternative to :hardcopy, use :TOhtml to save a buffer as HTML and print it from a web browser.

Just Paste It.™
Since 2019 paste "just works" in both terminal and GUI
#neovim
. Use ctrl-v or cmd-v to paste the damn text. Works in all modes, won't do weird stuff in normal mode. Customizable (:help vim.paste())!
So 'pastetoggle' will be removed.

Use :EditQuery in Nvim 0.10 (unreleased) to develop tree-sitter queries with live feedback. Complements :InspectTree (Nvim 0.9).
