A comprehensive list76is below.77 78 79Vim9 script ~80 *new-vim-script-9*81The Vim script language has been changed step by step over many years,82preserving backwards compatibility. Several choices made in the early days83got in the way of making it work better. At the same time, Vim script is84being used much more often, since there are so many plugins being used.85 86Vim9 script provides a syntax that is much more similar to other languages.87In other words: "less weird". Compiled functions are introduced which allow88for a large speed improvement. You can expect around ten times faster89execution, or even more. The price to pay is that Vim9 script is not90backwards compatible. But don't worry, you can still use your old scripts,91the new script language is added, it does not replace the legacy script.92 93Information about Vim9 script can be found in the |Vim9| help file.94 95 96Command line completion in a popup menu ~97 *new-popup-compl*98Before there was the 'wildmenu' option, which uses the space of one line above99the statusline to show matches. Only a few matches fit there.100 101Now a popup menu can be used by setting 'wildoptions' to "pum". This allows102for showing many more matches. This requires redrawing more of the display,103but since computers are fast enough that is not a problem.104 105 106Updated colorschemes ~107 *new-colorschemes-9*108Colorschemes from https://github.com/vim/colorschemes have been included.109They were made to work consistently across many types of terminals. Although110generally an improvement, a lot of personal preference is involved.
