| --- @brief Nvim Lua provides an interface or "bridge" to Vimscript variables and | |
| --- functions, and editor commands and options. | |
| --- | |
| --- Objects passed over this bridge are COPIED (marshalled): there are no | |
| --- "references". |lua-guide-variables| For example, using `vim.fn.remove()` on | |
| --- a Lua list copies the list object to Vimscript and does NOT modify the Lua | |
| --- list: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- local list = { 1, 2, 3 } | |
| --- vim.fn.remove(list, 0) | |
| --- vim.print(list) --> "{ 1, 2, 3 }" | |
| --- ``` | |
| --- @brief <pre>help | |
| --- vim.call({func}, {...}) *vim.call()* | |
| --- Invokes |vim-function| or |user-function| {func} with arguments {...}. | |
| --- See also |vim.fn|. | |
| --- Equivalent to: >lua | |
| --- vim.fn[func]({...}) | |
| --- < | |
| --- vim.cmd({command}) | |
| --- See |vim.cmd()|. | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.fn.{func}({...}) *vim.fn* | |
| --- Invokes |vim-function| or |user-function| {func} with arguments {...}. | |
| --- To call autoload functions, use the syntax: >lua | |
| --- vim.fn['some#function']({...}) | |
| --- < | |
| --- Unlike vim.api.|nvim_call_function()| this converts directly between Vim | |
| --- objects and Lua objects. If the Vim function returns a float, it will be | |
| --- represented directly as a Lua number. Empty lists and dictionaries both | |
| --- are represented by an empty table. | |
| --- | |
| --- Note: |v:null| values as part of the return value is represented as | |
| --- |vim.NIL| special value | |
| --- | |
| --- Note: vim.fn keys are generated lazily, thus `pairs(vim.fn)` only | |
| --- enumerates functions that were called at least once. | |
| --- | |
| --- Note: The majority of functions cannot run in |api-fast| callbacks with some | |
| --- undocumented exceptions which are allowed. | |
| --- | |
| --- *lua-vim-variables* | |
| --- The Vim editor global dictionaries |g:| |w:| |b:| |t:| |v:| can be accessed | |
| --- from Lua conveniently and idiomatically by referencing the `vim.*` Lua tables | |
| --- described below. In this way you can easily read and modify global Vimscript | |
| --- variables from Lua. | |
| --- | |
| --- Example: >lua | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.g.foo = 5 -- Set the g:foo Vimscript variable. | |
| --- print(vim.g.foo) -- Get and print the g:foo Vimscript variable. | |
| --- vim.g.foo = nil -- Delete (:unlet) the Vimscript variable. | |
| --- vim.b[2].foo = 6 -- Set b:foo for buffer 2 | |
| --- < | |
| --- | |
| --- Note that setting dictionary fields directly will not write them back into | |
| --- Nvim. This is because the index into the namespace simply returns a copy. | |
| --- Instead the whole dictionary must be written as one. This can be achieved by | |
| --- creating a short-lived temporary. | |
| --- | |
| --- Example: >lua | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.g.my_dict.field1 = 'value' -- Does not work | |
| --- | |
| --- local my_dict = vim.g.my_dict -- | |
| --- my_dict.field1 = 'value' -- Instead do | |
| --- vim.g.my_dict = my_dict -- | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.g *vim.g* | |
| --- Global (|g:|) editor variables. | |
| --- Key with no value returns `nil`. | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.b *vim.b* | |
| --- Buffer-scoped (|b:|) variables for the current buffer. | |
| --- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`. Can be indexed with | |
| --- an integer to access variables for a specific buffer. | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.w *vim.w* | |
| --- Window-scoped (|w:|) variables for the current window. | |
| --- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`. Can be indexed with | |
| --- an integer to access variables for a specific window. | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.t *vim.t* | |
| --- Tabpage-scoped (|t:|) variables for the current tabpage. | |
| --- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`. Can be indexed with | |
| --- an integer to access variables for a specific tabpage. | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.v *vim.v* | |
| --- |v:| variables. | |
| --- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`. | |

| --- @brief <pre>help | |
| --- *lua-options* | |
| --- *lua-vim-options* | |
| --- *lua-vim-set* | |
| --- *lua-vim-setlocal* | |
| --- | |
| --- Vim options can be accessed through |vim.o|, which behaves like Vimscript | |
| --- |:set|. | |
| --- | |
| --- Examples: ~ | |
| --- | |
| --- To set a boolean toggle: | |
| --- Vimscript: `set number` | |
| --- Lua: `vim.o.number = true` | |
| --- | |
| --- To set a string value: | |
| --- Vimscript: `set wildignore=*.o,*.a,__pycache__` | |
| --- Lua: `vim.o.wildignore = '*.o,*.a,__pycache__'` | |
| --- | |
| --- Similarly, there is |vim.bo| and |vim.wo| for setting buffer-scoped and | |
| --- window-scoped options. Note that this must NOT be confused with | |
| --- |local-options| and |:setlocal|. There is also |vim.go| that only accesses the | |
| --- global value of a |global-local| option, see |:setglobal|. | |
| --- </pre> | |
| --- Get or set |options|. Works like `:set`, so buffer/window-scoped options target the current | |
| --- buffer/window. Invalid key is an error. | |
| --- | |
| --- Example: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- vim.o.cmdheight = 4 | |
| --- print(vim.o.columns) | |
| --- print(vim.o.foo) -- error: invalid key | |
| --- ``` | |
| vim.o = setmetatable({}, { | |
| __index = function(_, k) | |
| return api.nvim_get_option_value(k, {}) | |
| end, | |
| __newindex = function(_, k, v) | |
| return api.nvim_set_option_value(k, v, {}) | |
| end, | |
| }) | |
| --- Get or set global |options|. Like `:setglobal`. Invalid key is | |
| --- an error. | |
| --- | |
| --- Note: this is different from |vim.o| because this accesses the global | |
| --- option value and thus is mostly useful for use with |global-local| | |
| --- options. | |
| --- | |
| --- Example: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- vim.go.cmdheight = 4 | |
| --- print(vim.go.columns) | |
| --- print(vim.go.bar) -- error: invalid key | |
| --- ``` | |
| vim.go = setmetatable({}, { | |
| __index = function(_, k) | |
| return api.nvim_get_option_value(k, { scope = 'global' }) | |
| end, | |
| __newindex = function(_, k, v) | |
| return api.nvim_set_option_value(k, v, { scope = 'global' }) | |
| end, | |
| }) | |
| --- Get or set buffer-scoped |options| for the buffer with number {bufnr}. | |
| --- Like `:setlocal`. If {bufnr} is omitted then the current buffer is used. | |
| --- Invalid {bufnr} or key is an error. | |
| --- | |
| --- Example: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- local bufnr = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf() | |
| --- vim.bo[bufnr].buflisted = true -- same as vim.bo.buflisted = true | |
| --- print(vim.bo.comments) | |
| --- print(vim.bo.baz) -- error: invalid key | |
| --- ``` | |
| vim.bo = new_buf_opt_accessor() | |
| --- Get or set window-scoped |options| for the window with handle {winid} and | |
| --- buffer with number {bufnr}. Like `:setlocal` if setting a |global-local| option | |
| --- or if {bufnr} is provided, like `:set` otherwise. If {winid} is omitted then | |
| --- the current window is used. Invalid {winid}, {bufnr} or key is an error. | |
| --- | |
| --- Note: only {bufnr} with value `0` (the current buffer in the window) is | |
| --- supported. | |
| --- | |
| --- Example: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- local winid = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win() | |
| --- vim.wo[winid].number = true -- same as vim.wo.number = true | |
| --- print(vim.wo.foldmarker) | |
| --- print(vim.wo.quux) -- error: invalid key | |
| --- vim.wo[winid][0].spell = false -- like ':setlocal nospell' | |

| --- @brief <pre>help | |
| --- *vim.opt_local* | |
| --- *vim.opt_global* | |
| --- *vim.opt* | |
| --- | |
| --- | |
| --- A special interface |vim.opt| exists for conveniently interacting with list- | |
| --- and map-style options from Lua: It allows accessing them as Lua tables and | |
| --- offers object-oriented method for adding and removing entries. | |
| --- | |
| --- Examples: ~ | |
| --- | |
| --- The following methods of setting a list-style option are equivalent: | |
| --- In Vimscript: >vim | |
| --- set wildignore=*.o,*.a,__pycache__ | |
| --- < | |
| --- In Lua using `vim.o`: >lua | |
| --- vim.o.wildignore = '*.o,*.a,__pycache__' | |
| --- < | |
| --- In Lua using `vim.opt`: >lua | |
| --- vim.opt.wildignore = { '*.o', '*.a', '__pycache__' } | |
| --- < | |
| --- To replicate the behavior of |:set+=|, use: >lua | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.opt.wildignore:append { "*.pyc", "node_modules" } | |
| --- < | |
| --- To replicate the behavior of |:set^=|, use: >lua | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.opt.wildignore:prepend { "new_first_value" } | |
| --- < | |
| --- To replicate the behavior of |:set-=|, use: >lua | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.opt.wildignore:remove { "node_modules" } | |
| --- < | |
| --- The following methods of setting a map-style option are equivalent: | |
| --- In Vimscript: >vim | |
| --- set listchars=space:_,tab:>~ | |
| --- < | |
| --- In Lua using `vim.o`: >lua | |
| --- vim.o.listchars = 'space:_,tab:>~' | |
| --- < | |
| --- In Lua using `vim.opt`: >lua | |
| --- vim.opt.listchars = { space = '_', tab = '>~' } | |
| --- < | |
| --- | |
| --- Note that |vim.opt| returns an `Option` object, not the value of the option, | |
| --- which is accessed through |vim.opt:get()|: | |
| --- | |
| --- Examples: ~ | |
| --- | |
| --- The following methods of getting a list-style option are equivalent: | |
| --- In Vimscript: >vim | |
| --- echo wildignore | |
| --- < | |
| --- In Lua using `vim.o`: >lua | |
| --- print(vim.o.wildignore) | |
| --- < | |
| --- In Lua using `vim.opt`: >lua | |
| --- vim.print(vim.opt.wildignore:get()) | |
| --- < | |
| --- | |
| --- In any of the above examples, to replicate the behavior |:setlocal|, use | |
| --- `vim.opt_local`. Additionally, to replicate the behavior of |:setglobal|, use | |
| --- `vim.opt_global`. | |

| --- @class vim.Option | |
| local Option = {} -- luacheck: no unused | |
| --- Returns a Lua-representation of the option. Boolean, number and string | |
| --- values will be returned in exactly the same fashion. | |
| --- | |
| --- For values that are comma-separated lists, an array will be returned with | |
| --- the values as entries in the array: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- vim.cmd [[set wildignore=*.pyc,*.o]] | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.print(vim.opt.wildignore:get()) | |
| --- -- { "*.pyc", "*.o", } | |
| --- | |
| --- for _, ignore_pattern in ipairs(vim.opt.wildignore:get()) do | |
| --- print("Will ignore:", ignore_pattern) | |
| --- end | |
| --- -- Will ignore: *.pyc | |
| --- -- Will ignore: *.o | |
| --- ``` | |
| --- | |
| --- For values that are comma-separated maps, a table will be returned with | |
| --- the names as keys and the values as entries: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- vim.cmd [[set listchars=space:_,tab:>~]] | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.print(vim.opt.listchars:get()) | |
| --- -- { space = "_", tab = ">~", } | |
| --- | |
| --- for char, representation in pairs(vim.opt.listchars:get()) do | |
| --- print(char, "=>", representation) | |
| --- end | |
| --- ``` | |
| --- | |
| --- For values that are lists of flags, a set will be returned with the flags | |
| --- as keys and `true` as entries. | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- vim.cmd [[set formatoptions=njtcroql]] | |
| --- | |
| --- vim.print(vim.opt.formatoptions:get()) | |
| --- -- { n = true, j = true, c = true, ... } | |
| --- | |
| --- local format_opts = vim.opt.formatoptions:get() | |
| --- if format_opts.j then | |
| --- print("J is enabled!") | |
| --- end | |
| --- ``` | |
| ---@return string|integer|boolean|nil value of option | |
| function Option:get() end | |
| --- Append a value to string-style options. See |:set+=| | |
| --- | |
| --- These are equivalent: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- vim.opt.formatoptions:append('j') | |

| --- Remove a value from string-style options. See |:set-=| | |
| --- | |
| --- These are equivalent: | |
| --- | |
| --- ```lua | |
| --- vim.opt.wildignore:remove('*.pyc') | |
