Re: RFE: :amap and :menu buffer

I've found this is usually the best compromise and in fact has some advantages; it can be confusing and otherwise problematic to have menu items, or entire menus--especially toplevel menus--disappear and reappear. - Christian Thanks. I had forgotten about the :menu disable option. The disadvantage is that if I have several different file types open, each with its own top-level menu, then my menu bar will be crowded with disabled menus. --Benji Fisher

vim7-install.sh : {download + build + install} latest vim7 from svn
sources in 1 command
Regarding thr apply patches part, I 'm working on adding the pathing
functionality. It's not in yet.
Actually, re-reading your mail, I thik that you meant latest Bram's patches,
not the external patches. Then I need to correct my previous answer:
This script, vim7-install.sh, applies all Bram's patches, up to the
last an the latest, automatically. This script uses better download
method than ftp. Namely, it
uses svn (it's the default method) or cvs (with option -svc).
When I said I 'm working on adding the 'patching' functionality. It's
not in yet',
I meant adding of external patches. But the Bram's patches are included
automatically by the vim7-install.sh, this is non-optional.

Hi Yakov,
thanks a lot for your fast replies ! :))
You confuses me ! ;) ;) ;) ;) --- Very *BIG* smilies !
Means:
The only way to keep my vim uptodate, I know,is to download the
patches from ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/. and apply
those...
Oh no, this is not the only method.
When you download sources from svn or cvs, you get already patched
sources (all patches applied). This is what vim7-install.sh does for you,
plus build and install, all in one command.
This is why svn or cvs is much easier method of getting up-to-date
sources than ftp.
BTW early version of vim7-install.sh indeed used ftp and applied
patched one-by-one. This worked, but much slower than svn/cvs.
Now it seems, that -- before doing anything else -- I have to update
myself to the newest version of How to update vim. ;)

set backupext dynamicly
Hi, I'm new to programming in vim scripts.

Getting matchit to work on html
Hi all, I changed distros and now I can't get matchit to work on html files. I've spent hours on the net and in help files and have had no success. Can someone send me some example .vimrc settings to get this working? I'm currently running vim 6.3 on CentOS. TIA, Doug

Re: Getting matchit to work on html
Tony, I have already corrected the problem (thanks to Paul Bolle who's on this list). The *only* thing I needed to do was add: filetype plugin on to my .vimrc file. No copying files, creating directories, sourcing plugins, just this line. I can't believe this isn't an FAQ. It's either my disto default settings or there's not too many people using this functionality. Thanks a lot for your complete explanation below. It's a good reference for future configuration changes.

TIA, Doug Normally the following are enough (replace .vim by vimfiles and possibly .vimrc by _vimrc on non-Unix-like platforms) Notes: 1. I recommend upgrading to version 7.0 (current patchlevel is 7.0.162). In that case the $VIMRUNTIME directory will of course be $VIM/vim70 instead of $VIM/vim63. You might also get a newer version of matchit in the process: current version is (AFAIK) version 1.11 dated May 15 10:00 PM 2006 EDT. 2. If $VIM is undefined in your shell (which is the normal case) replace it by whatever it would be inside Vim (typically something like /usr/local/share/vim on Unix, C:\Program Files\vim on Windows, etc.) - ~/.vim/plugin/matchit.vim (full) runtime macros/matchit.vim - - do this in the shell (once). I assume a Unix(-like) shell - and Unix (or GNU) utilities. mkdir -p ~/.vim/doc cp -vf $VIM/vim63/macros/matchit.txt ~/.vim/doc vim -u NONE -i NONE -N +helptags ~/.vim/doc | q - - .vimrc (partim) set nocompatible comment out this 'if' block and its content to get menus messages in your 'locale' language if has(unix) language messages C else language messages en endif runtime vimrc_example.vim the above sets (among others) filetype plugin indent on syntax on --- user customizations come here - If matchit still doesn't work after the above have been done, describe your problem *in detail* with (if possible) precise steps to reproduce the problem, what happened, and what should have happened, and send it to the vim-dev list and/or to Benji Fischer (see email address near the top of $VIMRUNTIME/macros/matchit.vim).
