As of version 0.8.3 until (excluding) version 0.10.0 Neovim can only match one node per query. This is a limitation of Neovim and there is nothing that could be done on this end.
As of version 0.10.0 we could use iter_matches for highlighting.
As of version 0.10.0 updating the highlighting of a nested node is messed up.
This is because the undocumented behaviour of iter_captures was changed.
This is a good opportunity to switch back to iter_matches.
Some languages do not have a container node for parenthesized expressions, which makes it impossible to write queries which can reliable determine nesting. We can either just give up and not try or make a best-effort attempt and if the highlighting messed up then so be it.
Affected languages:
- Elm
- SQL
- Vim script
I do not know enough about the following languages in order to write good queries. Contributions are welcome.
- devicetree
- gdscript
- graphql
- meson
- ocaml
- ocaml_interface
- scala
- solidity
- sparql
- supercollider
- turtle
