(ex command) and `/` `?` (search),
while `prompt` is an |input()| prompt, highlighted with `hl_id`.
`indent` tells how many spaces the content should be indented.
The Nvim command line can be invoked recursively, for instance by
typing `<c-r>=` at the command line prompt. The `level` field is used
to distinguish different command lines active at the same time. The
first invoked command line has level 1, the next recursively-invoked
prompt has level 2. A command line invoked from the |cmdline-window|
has a higher level than the edited command line.
["cmdline_pos", pos, level] ~
Change the cursor position in the cmdline.
["cmdline_special_char", c, shift, level] ~
Display a special char in the cmdline at the cursor position. This is
typically used to indicate a pending state, e.g. after |c_CTRL-V|. If
`shift` is true the text after the cursor should be shifted, otherwise
it should overwrite the char at the cursor.
Should be hidden at next cmdline_show.
["cmdline_hide", level, abort] ~
Hide the cmdline. `level` is the nesting level of the cmdline being hidden.
`abort` is true if the cmdline is hidden after an aborting condition
(|c_Esc| or |c_CTRL-C|).
["cmdline_block_show", lines] ~
Show a block of context to the current command line. For example if
the user defines a |:function| interactively: >vim
:function Foo()
: echo "foo"
:
<
`lines` is a list of lines of highlighted chunks, in the same form as
the "cmdline_show" `contents` parameter.
["cmdline_block_append", line] ~
Append a line at the end of the currently shown block.
["cmdline_block_hide"] ~
Hide the block.

Message/Dialog Events *ui-messages*
Activated by the `ext_messages` |ui-option|.
Activates |ui-linegrid| and |ui-cmdline| implicitly.
This UI extension delegates presentation of messages and dialogs. Messages
that would otherwise render in the message/cmdline screen space, are emitted
as UI events.
Nvim will not allocate screen space for the cmdline or messages. 'cmdheight'
will be set to zero, but can be changed and used for the replacing cmdline or
message window. Cmdline state is emitted as |ui-cmdline| events, which the UI
must handle.
["msg_show", kind, content, replace_last, history, append] ~
Display a message to the user.
kind
Name indicating the message kind:
"" (empty) Unknown (consider a |feature-request|)
"bufwrite" |:write| message
"confirm" Message preceding a prompt (|:confirm|,
|confirm()|, |inputlist()|, |z=|, …)
"emsg" Error (|errors|, internal error, |:throw|, …)
"echo" |:echo| message
"echomsg" |:echomsg|
