	Use |setloclist()| instead.

						{buffer=bufnr} instead.

						{async=false} instead.
• *vim.lsp.buf.range_formatting()*		Use |vim.lsp.formatexpr()|
						or |vim.lsp.buf.format()| instead.

LUA
• vim.register_keystroke_callback()	Use |vim.on_key()| instead.

NORMAL COMMANDS
• *]f* *[f*		Same as "gf".

OPTIONS
• *cpo-<* *:menu-<special>* *:menu-special* *:map-<special>* *:map-special*
  `<>` notation is always enabled.
• *'fe'*		'fenc'+'enc' before Vim 6.0; no longer used.

• *'viminfo'*		Deprecated alias to 'shada' option.
• *'viminfofile'*	Deprecated alias to 'shadafile' option.

			|paste| is handled automatically when you paste text
			using your terminal's or GUI's paste feature
			(CTRL-SHIFT-v, CMD-v (macOS), middle-click, …).
			Enables "paste mode":
			  • Disables mappings in Insert, Cmdline mode.

			by the Nvim core directly instead of the TUI.
