* refactor: revert module namespace from canola back to oil
Problem: the canola rename creates unnecessary friction for users
migrating from stevearc/oil.nvim — every `require('oil')` call and
config reference must change.
Solution: revert all module paths, URL schemes, autocmd groups,
highlight groups, and filetype names back to `oil`. The repo stays
`canola.nvim` for identity; the code is a drop-in replacement.
* refactor: remove `vim.g.oil` declarative config
Problem: the `vim.g.oil` configuration path was added prematurely.
It adds a second config entrypoint before the plugin has stabilized
enough to justify it.
Solution: remove `vim.g.oil` support from `plugin/oil.lua`,
`config.setup()`, docs, and tests. Users configure via
`require("oil").setup({})`.
Problem: `get_current_dir()` returns nil for non-local adapters (SSH,
S3, trash), leaving users with no public API to get the current
buffer's location.
Solution: add `get_current_url()` which returns the full canola URL
for any adapter, or nil if not in a canola buffer.

docs(upstream): mark #382 not actionable (#482)
Problem: upstream issue #382 requests relative paths in the window
title, but this is already solved by the `get_win_title` callback
added in stevearc/oil.nvim#482.
Solution: mark the issue as not actionable in the tracker.
Problem: upstream issue #431 (SSH adapter documentation) is a
duplicate of #525 which covers the same request with more detail.
Solution: mark as duplicate of #525.
Problem: upstream issue #332 (buffer not fixed to floating window via
ctrl-o jumplist) is unresolved in our tracker.
Solution: mark as not actionable. Cannot reproduce — ctrl-o in the
float navigates back through oil directories, does not escape to file
buffers. Reported on nvim 0.10.0-dev (2023).
Problem: upstream issue #435 (LSP semantic token errors on preview)
is unresolved in our tracker.
Solution: mark as fixed. Upstream PR #467 (scratch buffer previews)
was merged Nov 2024 and is already in our codebase.
Problem: #623 was marked not actionable as a cross-plugin issue, but
oil's nonstandard buffer opening (`bufadd` + manual `buflisted` +
`vim.cmd.buffer()`) may be the root cause.
Solution: revert status to open for further investigation.
Problem: upstream issue #200 (highlights not working when opening a
file) is unresolved in our tracker.
Solution: mark as not actionable. Reported on nvim 0.9.4, no recent
reports, cannot reproduce on current versions.
Problem: upstream issue #637 (inconsistent symlink resolution) is
unresolved in our tracker.
Solution: mark as not actionable. Reporter confirmed the issue does
not reproduce on stable neovim (v0.11.2), only on nightly.
Problem: upstream issue #636 (Telescope picker opens file in wrong
split) is unresolved in our tracker.
Solution: mark as not actionable. Cannot reproduce with default
Telescope configuration — file correctly opens in the active canola
split. Likely user-specific Telescope config or window picker plugin.
Problem: at the filesystem root (`/`), `actions.parent` triggers a
full `vim.cmd.edit()` and async re-render cycle even though the parent
of `/` is `/`.
Solution: in `canola.open()`, return early when `parent_url` equals
the current buffer name.
Closes#108.
* fix(select): redraw screen after buffer switch
Problem: `select` opens files inside a `vim.schedule_wrap` callback
from `normalize_url`. Scheduled `FileType` autocmds (e.g. treesitter
parsing) queue onto the same batch, blocking the screen update. The
oil buffer stays visible until the heavy work finishes.
Solution: call `vim.cmd.redraw()` after the buffer switch to flush
the screen before any queued scheduled callbacks run. Matches the
behavior of plain `:e`.
* docs(upstream): mark #699 fixed (#106)
docs(upstream): mark #609 not actionable (#105)
Problem: upstream issue #609 (cursor not placed on file when jumped
via Snacks.nvim picker) is confirmed Windows-only by multiple
reporters. stevearc cannot reproduce on Linux.
Solution: mark as not actionable in the upstream tracker.
Problem: `constrain_cursor` only fired on `CursorMoved` and
`ModeChanged`, so arrow key navigation in insert mode could move
the cursor into the concealed ID prefix area.
Solution: add `CursorMovedI` to the autocmd event list. The
`constrain_cursor()` function is already mode-agnostic.
Problem: issues were split across four separate sections by status,
requiring moves between sections on every status change.
Solution: merge all issues into one `## Issues` table sorted by number
with an inline status column. Update digest script heading and row
format to match.
Problem: the upstream tracker had duplicate entries across tables,
fragile commit hash references, a 108-row flat table mixing all
statuses, and inconsistent formatting.
Solution: merge PR tables into one, split issues by status (fixed,
resolved, open, not actionable), drop all commit hashes in favor of
stable PR numbers, and eliminate duplication so each entry appears
exactly once.
* feat: add `toggle()` API for regular windows
Problem: `toggle_float()` and `toggle_split()` exist but there is no
`toggle()` for regular windows, forcing users to write their own
filetype-checking wrapper.
Solution: add `M.toggle()` that delegates to `close()` or `open()`
based on whether the current buffer is a canola buffer. Includes
vimdoc entry.
* docs(upstream): mark #621 fixed
* fix(columns): hide misleading directory sizes in size column
Problem: the size column shows the filesystem inode size (typically
4096 = 4.1k) for directories, which is misleading — users expect no
size for directories.
Solution: add an early return for directory entries in the size render
function of the files, SSH, and S3 adapters.

* feat(preview): add `max_file_size` config to skip large file previews
Problem: previewing large files (e.g. 500 MB logs, binaries) loads them
into a buffer and can freeze or OOM Neovim. `disable_preview` only
receives the filename, so users cannot gate on file size.
Solution: add `preview_win.max_file_size` (number, MB, default 10). In
`open_preview`, check `entry.meta.stat.size` and fall back to
`vim.uv.fs_stat` when the cached stat is absent. If the file exceeds
the limit and a preview window is already open, render "File too large
to preview" in it; if not, emit a WARN notify and return early. The
cursor-moved auto-update path only fires when a window already exists,
so no flag threading is needed to distinguish explicit from implicit.
Based on: stevearc/oil.nvim#213
* feat(view): add `show_hidden_when_empty` for hidden-only directories
Problem: with `show_hidden = false`, a directory containing only
dotfiles renders as just `..`, giving no indication that entries exist.
Solution: add `view_options.show_hidden_when_empty` (boolean, default
false). After the main filter loop in `render_buffer`, if the option is
set and `#line_table <= 1`, iterate `entry_list` again and render any
entry not matched by `is_always_hidden`, using `is_hidden = true` so
they render with the dimmed hidden style.
Based on: stevearc/oil.nvim#473
* docs(upstream): fix formatting
* docs(upstream): update #213 and #473 with PR and commit links
Problem: users who want hands-off behaviour had no way to skip the
`prompt_save_on_select_new_entry` confirmation dialog — enabling the
prompt meant always being asked, with no silent auto-save path.
Solution: add `auto_save_on_select_new_entry` (default `false`) which,
when true, calls `M.save()` and proceeds immediately instead of showing
the confirm dialog. Includes type annotations, vimdoc, and upstream
tracker update for stevearc/oil.nvim#393.
* docs(upstream): triage batch — #739 cherry-pick, 10 issue updates
* feat: add `open_split` and `toggle_split` API
Problem: canola had no way to open a browser in a normal split window;
only floating windows were supported via `open_float`/`toggle_float`.
`M.close` also crashed with E444 when called from the last window.
Solution: port stevearc/oil.nvim#728 — add `open_split(dir, opts, cb)`
and `toggle_split(dir, opts, cb)` mirroring the float API. Use
`is_canola_win`/`canola_original_win` window vars (not the upstream
`is_oil_win` names). Wrap `nvim_win_close` in `pcall` with `enew()`
fallback to handle the last-window E444 case.
Based on: stevearc/oil.nvim#728
* docs: add vimdoc for `open_split`/`toggle_split` and macOS trash recipe
Cherry-picked from: stevearc/oil.nvim#739
* docs(upstream): fix prettier formatting
* fix: show float title when border is nil
Problem: the float title was only shown via the native `nvim_win_set_config`
path, which requires a border to render. The guard `config.float.border ~=
'none'` did not account for `nil`, which is the default — so users with no
explicit `border` config never saw the path title in the floating window.
Solution: require both `~= nil` and `~= 'none'` before using the native
title. In all other cases (border nil, 'none', or nvim < 0.9), fall back to
`util.add_title_to_win`, which renders a child floating window for the title.
Based on: stevearc/oil.nvim#683
* refactor: drop nvim-0.9 version checks in float title logic
feat: add \`skip_confirm_for_delete\` option
Problem: there was no way to suppress the confirmation popup when the
only pending operations are deletes. \`skip_confirm_for_simple_edits\`
explicitly excludes deletes, so users who delete frequently had no opt-out.
Solution: add \`skip_confirm_for_delete = false\` config option. When true,
\`confirmation.show()\` skips the popup if every pending action is a delete.
Based on: stevearc/oil.nvim#392
Problem: when `prompt_save_on_select_new_entry` is enabled and the user
presses Escape on the "Save changes?" confirm dialog, `vim.fn.confirm`
returns 0, but the select continued as if the user had chosen "No".
Solution: add an explicit `choice == 0` branch that returns immediately,
aborting the select without saving or opening any files.
* feat: emit \`CanolaFileCreated\` autocmd on file creation
Problem: no way to hook into individual file creation to populate
initial contents, without a plugin-specific config callback.
Solution: fire \`User CanolaFileCreated\` with \`data.path\` after each
successful \`fs.touch\` in the files adapter. Users listen with
\`nvim_create_autocmd\` and write to the path however they like.
* build: gitignore `doc/upstream.html`
* docs(upstream): mark #721 fixed, triage #735
* docs(upstream): simplify #735 note
* docs(upstream): triage PRs #721 and #735
* docs(upstream): fix#721 status to deferred
* docs(upstream): remove status key legend
* docs(upstream): s/addressing/fixing in #721 note
Problem: When files are deleted via canola, any open Neovim buffers
for those files remain alive, polluting the jumplist with stale
entries.
Solution: Add an opt-in `cleanup_buffers_on_delete` config option
(default `false`). When enabled, `finish()` in `mutator/init.lua`
iterates completed delete actions and wipes matching buffers via
`nvim_buf_delete` before `CanolaActionsPost` fires. Only local
filesystem deletes are handled (guarded by the `files` adapter
check).
* fix: restore `buflisted` on jumplist buffer re-entry
Problem: Neovim's jumplist machinery re-enters canola buffers via an
internal `:edit`-equivalent path, which unconditionally sets
`buflisted = true`. The existing workaround in `open()` and
`open_float()` only covers canola-initiated navigation, leaving
`<C-o>` and `<C-i>` unhandled.
Solution: Apply the same `buf_options.buflisted` guard in the
`BufEnter` autocmd, directly after `set_win_options()`. This fires
on every buffer entry — including all jumplist paths — and mirrors
the pattern already used at the two `:edit` callsites.
* docs: mark upstream #302 as fixed in tracker
Problem: the full upstream PR and issue triage was removed from the
README during the repository modernization, leaving no user-facing
record of what the fork addresses.
Solution: restore the triage tables in a dedicated doc/upstream.md and
link to it from the top of the README. Keeps the README clean while
giving the full picture a permanent home.
