- The defined interface for the UI is only the RPC protocol. The original
UI interface as an array of function pointers fill no function.
- On the server, all the UI:s are all RPC channels.
- ui.c is only used on the server.
- The compositor is a preprocessing step for single-grid UI:s
- on the client, ui_client and tui talk directly to each other
- we still do module separation, as ui_client.c could form the basis
of a libnvim client module later.
Items for later PR:s
- vim.ui_attach is still an unhappy child, reconsider based on plugin experience.
- the flags in ui_events.in.h are still a mess. Can be simplified now.
- UX for remote attachment needs more work.
- startup for client can be simplified further (think of the millisecs we can save)
Problem: When unibi_format() modifies params and data->buf overflows,
unibi_format() is called again, causing the params to be
modified twice. This can happen for escapes sequences that
use the %i terminfo format specifier (e.g. cursor_address),
which makes unibi_format() increase the param by 1.
Solution: Make a copy of data->params before calling unibi_format().
Use `white-space: pre-wrap` to preserve white space as per `pre`, but to
allow line wrapping if the display runs out of horizontal space.
This prevents lines overflowing their box, and causing horizontal
scrolling across the entire page on small screens.
This `pre-wrap` technique is used by GitHub to format code for mobile.

Now that the TUI calls nvim_paste and nvim_input through RPC, the data
race is much more likely, as nvim_paste is deferred while nvim_input is
not. Add an expect_child_buf_lines() call to avoid the race.
This is intentionally _not_ copied from Vim because our syntax file
makes use of Lua to dynamically generate a list of valid EditorConfig
properties. This requires the builtin editorconfig module, which Vim
does not have.
Problem: Code is indented more than needed.
Solution: Use an early return to reduce indentation. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,

- try to make the CI badge more reliable
- remove "snap" badge, it's too specific and doesn't show stats
- remove twitter link because it's already linked from
https://github.com/neovim and https://neovim.io/ , and it's not super
necessary in the readme.
Problem: With a long running Vim the temp directory might be cleared on
some systems.
Solution: Lock the temp directory. (closesvim/vim#6044)

Currently once you retrieve the lenses you're pretty much stuck with
them as saving new lenses is additive.
Adding a dedicated method to reset lenses allows users to toggle lenses
on/off which can be useful for language servers where they are noisy or
expensive and you only want to see them temporary.
This was previously disabled due to build issues on windows.
Any reasonable platform can now be expected to have the necessary
interfaces to build and run the TUI subsystem.
Runtime quality issues of using the TUI (on any new platform) are not
relevant here. Just run Nvim in an external UI instead of the TUI as always.
