From 595d0a77e48d02d2865e05d8ea89aa169166b987 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: glepnir Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 19:45:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] runtime(doc): wrong {str} length limit in matchfuzzy() docs Problem: docs say {str} is capped at 256 and longer returns an empty list. Solution: it's 1024, and {str} plus each candidate are just truncated to that, not rejected; fix the text. closes: #20453 Signed-off-by: glepnir Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt --- runtime/doc/builtin.txt | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/runtime/doc/builtin.txt b/runtime/doc/builtin.txt index b415fc039f..219737f2d7 100644 --- a/runtime/doc/builtin.txt +++ b/runtime/doc/builtin.txt @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -*builtin.txt* For Vim version 9.2.
