Problem: in email-quoted diffs (qw > 0), the body prefix DiffsClear only
covered col 0..qw (the quote prefix). The diff prefix marker column at
col qw..pw+qw had no DiffsClear, leaving a 1-column gap where native
treesitter background could bleed through on context lines.
Solution: extend body prefix DiffsClear end_col from qw to pw + qw,
covering both the quote prefix and the diff prefix marker. On +/- lines
this was already masked by DiffsAdd/DiffsDelete at higher priority, but
context lines (prefix ' ') had no such mask.
Closes#142 issue 1.
Problem: highlight_hunk applied DiffsClear extmarks across 5 scattered
sites with ad-hoc column arithmetic. highlight_hunk_vim_syntax duplicated
the inline vim syntax path, and the deferred pass in init.lua double-called
it, creating duplicate scratch buffers and extmarks.
Solution: reorganize highlight_hunk into two clean phases:
- Phase 1: multi-line syntax computation (treesitter, vim syntax, diff
grammar, header context text) — sets syntax extmarks only
- Phase 2: per-line chrome (DiffsClear, backgrounds, gutter, overlays,
intra-line) — all non-syntax extmarks in one unified pass
Hoist new_code to function scope (needed by highlight_text outside the
use_ts block). Hoist at_raw_line so Phase 1d and Phase 2b share it.
Delete highlight_hunk_vim_syntax (redundant with inline path). Remove
the double-call from the deferred pass in init.lua.
## Problem
The neogit commit (3d640c2) switched line background extmarks from
`hl_group`+`hl_eol` to `line_hl_group`. Due to [neovim#31151][1],
`line_hl_group` bg overrides `hl_group` bg regardless of extmark
priority. This made `DiffsAddText`/`DiffsDeleteText` intra-line
highlights invisible beneath line backgrounds — the extmarks were
placed correctly but Neovim rendered the line bg on top.
[1]: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/31151
## Solution
Revert line backgrounds to `hl_group`+`hl_eol` where priority stacking
works correctly. Keep `number_hl_group` in a separate point extmark to
prevent gutter color bleeding to adjacent lines. The Neogit highlight
override (clearing their groups to `{}`) is independent and unaffected.
## TODO
1. docs (vimdoc + readme) - this is a non-trivial feature
2. push luarocks version
## Problem
diffs.nvim only activates on `fugitive`, `git`, and `gitcommit`
filetypes.
Neogit uses its own custom filetypes (`NeogitStatus`,
`NeogitCommitView`,
`NeogitDiffView`) and doesn't set `b:git_dir`, so the plugin never
attaches
and repo root resolution fails for filetype detection within diff hunks.
## Solution
Two changes:
1. **`lua/diffs/init.lua`** — Add the three Neogit filetypes to the
default
`filetypes` list. The `FileType` autocmd in `plugin/diffs.lua` already
handles them correctly since the `is_fugitive_buffer` guard only applies
to the `git` filetype.
2. **`lua/diffs/parser.lua`** — Add a CWD-based fallback in
`get_repo_root()`.
After the existing `b:diffs_repo_root` and `b:git_dir` checks, fall back
to
`vim.fn.getcwd()` via `git.get_repo_root()` (already cached). Without
this,
the parser can't resolve filetypes for files in Neogit buffers.
Neogit's expanded diffs use standard unified diff format, so the parser
handles
them without modification.
Closes#110.
## Problem
Fugitive shows combined diffs (`@@@` headers, 2-character prefixes like
`++`, ` +`, `+ `) for unmerged (`UU`) files. The parser and highlight
pipeline assumed unified diff format (`@@`, 1-char prefix), causing:
- Prefix concealment only hiding 1 of 2 prefix chars
- Missing background colors on ` +` and `+ ` lines (first char is space
→ misclassified as context)
- No treesitter highlights (extra prefix char poisoned code arrays)
- `U` file header not recognized by parser (missing from filename
pattern)
## Solution
Detect prefix width from leading `@` count in hunk headers (`@@` → 1,
`@@@` → 2). Propagate `prefix_width` through the pipeline:
- **Parser**: new `prefix_width` field on `diffs.Hunk`, `U` added to
filename pattern, combined diff range extraction
- **Highlight**: prefix stripping, `col_offset`, concealment width, and
line classification all use `prefix_width`
- **Intra-line**: skipped for combined diffs (`prefix_width > 1`) since
2-char prefix semantics don't produce meaningful change groups
## Problem
Three minor issues remain before the v0.2.0 release:
1. Git quotes filenames containing spaces, unicode, or special
characters
in the fugitive status buffer. `parse_file_line` passed the quotes
through verbatim, causing file-not-found errors on diff operations.
2. Navigation wrap-around in both conflict and merge modules was silent,
giving no indication when jumping past the last/first item back to the
beginning/end.
3. `resolved_hunks` and `(resolved)` virtual text in the merge module
persisted across buffer re-reads, showing stale markers for hunks that
were no longer resolved.
## Solution
1. Add an `unquote()` helper to fugitive.lua that strips surrounding
quotes and unescapes `\\`, `\"`, `\n`, `\t`, and octal `\NNN`
sequences. Applied to both return paths in `parse_file_line`.
2. Add `vim.notify` before the wrap-around jump in all four navigation
functions (`goto_next`/`goto_prev` in conflict.lua and merge.lua).
3. Clear `resolved_hunks[bufnr]` and the merge namespace at the top of
`setup_keymaps` so each buffer init starts fresh.
Closes#66
## Problem
`get_repo_root()` shells out to `git rev-parse` on every call, causing
4-6
redundant subprocesses per `gdiff_file()` invocation. Three other minor
issues: `highlight_vim_syntax()` leaks a scratch buffer if
`nvim_buf_call`
errors, `lib.ensure()` silently drops callbacks during download so hunks
highlighted mid-download permanently miss intra-line highlights, and the
debounce timer callback can operate on a deleted buffer.
## Solution
Cache `get_repo_root()` results by parent directory — repo roots don't
change within a session. Wrap `nvim_buf_call` and `nvim_buf_delete` in
pcall so the scratch buffer is always cleaned up. Replace the early
`callback(nil)` in `lib.ensure()` with a pending callback queue that
fires
once the download completes. Guard the debounce timer callback with
`nvim_buf_is_valid`.
Problem: the header context string (e.g. "function M.setup()") was
parsed in isolation by treesitter, which couldn't recognize "function"
as @keyword.function because the snippet is an incomplete definition
with no body or "end".
Solution: append the already-built new_code lines as trailing context
when parsing the header string, giving treesitter a complete function
definition. Filter captures to row 0 only so body-line captures don't
produce extmarks on the header line.
Problem: hl_eol requires a multiline extmark to extend the background
past end-of-line. The extmark used end_col = line_len on the same
row, so it was single-line and hl_eol was effectively a no-op.
Solution: replace end_col with end_row targeting the next line so
the extmark is multiline and hl_eol takes effect. Split
number_hl_group into a separate extmark to prevent it bleeding to
adjacent lines.
Problem: highlight_treesitter only iterated captures from the base
language tree (trees[1]:root()). When code contained injected
languages (e.g. VimL inside vim.cmd()), those captures were never
read, so injected code got no syntax highlighting in diffs.
Solution: pass true to parse() to trigger injection discovery, then
use parser_obj:for_each_tree() to iterate all trees including
injected ones. Each tree gets its own highlights query looked up by
ltree:lang(), and @spell/@nospell captures are filtered out.
Problem: highlights.context was a plain integer, inconsistent with the
table structure used by treesitter, vim, and intra sub-configs.
Solution: change to { enabled = true, lines = 25 } with full
vim.validate() coverage matching the existing pattern.
Problem: treesitter parses each diff hunk in isolation, so incomplete
syntax constructs at hunk boundaries (e.g., a function definition with
no body) produce ERROR nodes and drop captures.
Solution: read N lines from the on-disk file before/after each hunk and
prepend/append them as unmapped padding lines. The line_map guard in
highlight_treesitter skips extmarks for unmapped lines, so padding
provides syntax context without visual output. Controlled by
highlights.context (default 25, 0 to disable). Also applies to the vim
syntax fallback path via a leading_offset filter.
Problem: highlight_treesitter concatenated all hunk lines (context, -,
+) into a single string. Mixed old/new code produced invalid syntax
(e.g. two return statements), causing treesitter error recovery to drop
captures on lines after the syntax error.
Solution: split hunk lines into two versions — new (context + added)
and old (context + deleted) — each parsed independently. Use a line_map
to resolve treesitter row indices to buffer lines, with the old version
only mapping deleted lines to avoid duplicate extmarks on context.
Also fixes three related issues exposed by the improved TS coverage:
- Replace Normal extmark with DiffsClear (explicit fg from Normal.fg).
Normal in extmarks doesn't reliably override vim :syntax foreground.
- Reorder priority stack to DiffsClear(198) < syntax(199) < line
bg(200) < char bg(201). TS capture groups can carry colorscheme
backgrounds that would override diff line backgrounds at higher
priority.
- Gate DiffsClear on per-line coverage tracking. Only clear fugitive
syntax fg on lines where TS/vim actually produced captures, preventing
force-clearing on lines where error recovery drops captures.
line_hl_group bg occupies a separate rendering channel from hl_group in
Neovim's extmark system, causing character-level bg-only highlights to be
invisible regardless of priority. Switching to hl_group + hl_eol ensures
all backgrounds compete in the same channel.
Also reorders priorities (Normal 198 < line bg 199 < syntax 200 < char
bg 201), bumps char-level blend alpha from 0.4 to 0.7 for visibility,
and adds debug logging throughout the intra pipeline.
Line-level backgrounds (DiffsAdd/DiffsDelete) now get a second tier:
changed characters within modified lines receive an intense background
overlay (DiffsAddText/DiffsDeleteText at 70% alpha vs 40% for lines).
Treesitter foreground colors show through since the extmarks only set bg.
diff.lua extracts contiguous -/+ change groups from hunk lines and diffs
each group byte-by-byte using vim.diff(). An optional libvscodediff FFI
backend (lib.lua) auto-downloads the .so from codediff.nvim releases and
falls back to native if unavailable.
New config: highlights.intra.{enabled, algorithm, max_lines}. Gated by
max_lines (default 200) to avoid stalling on huge hunks. Priority 201
sits above treesitter (200) so the character bg always wins.
Closes#60
Compares current buffer against any git revision (default HEAD), opens result
with full diffs.nvim syntax highlighting. Follows fugitive convention:
:Gdiff/:Gvdiff open vertical split, :Ghdiff opens horizontal split.
Apply treesitter highlighting to diff metadata lines (diff --git, index,
---, +++) using the diff language parser. Header info is attached only
to the first hunk of each file to avoid duplicate highlighting.
Based on PR #52 by @phanen with fixes:
- header_lines now only contains diff metadata, not hunk content
- header info attached only to first hunk per file
- removed arbitrary hunk count restriction
