Re: buffer list count
Hi, When my .vimrc is running, creating the BufAdd autocmds, all of the files (*.c) I think already have buffers assigned to them. I'm not sure, but this could cause the problem. A simple fix would just be a manual buffer count on VimEnter. I'm getting close to the best solution. I think this would be great chance to to it realy fast: 1. define a function which counts all buffers and stores the count to a global variable bufcount 2. start this function in .vimrc to initialize bufcount 3. add bufcount to your ruler 4. add BufEnter and BufLeave autocommands which increase/decrease bufcount var. With this solution you just show a static variable in your ruler, it's as fast as possible. And if you're in doubt, you can call the initialize function - this will be your redraw analogy I think this solution would be nice - if you can execute the .vimrc code after all buffers loading. Which is not the default, I think. Mainly because the BufEnter autocommand definitions set in .vimrc couldn't work for opening files mentioned at cmdline... So there must be a trick to delay some .vimrc code execution. Milan Vancura
wrong direction of 'n' -- when #,n are remapped and inside function
In the script below, where # and n are remapped,
n goes the wrong direction after #. To see:
vim -u NONE bad.bim
:so %
gg/bacrnnn#n
-- the last n goes forward. we expect it to move backward.
But when script is rewritten to the form #2, then n after # works
correcty. Plain moving the 'silent! exe norm!...' out of the
function changes the behavior.

Inserting date/text

^Rw

I've had mappings in the past for things like
inoremap f4 c-r=strftime('%c')cr
which allows you to hit F4 in insert mode and have the date
inserted. You can use a similar pattern if you need it at the
command line:
:put =strftime('%c')
(you can use put! to put it on the line above rather than the
line below the current one)
This gives you more cross-platform support than just shelling out
to the OS's date command, as the output (and even behavior
parameter format) of the OS's date command can vary widely.

Re: search between two brackets
I have a long source code consisting of multiple modules wrapped in {}.

within the same module or class that I started from. (which is wrapped

Thanks all. It should be sufficient.
I am not sure exactly what sort of highlighting you want.
Since my purpose was not to go astray to another module, I just wondered
if there can be some visual indication to tell me that I'm still in my {
module }. Like flipping foreground and background of the rest of the file,
or dimming the colors, etc.
But the provided answer should be sufficient.

Hmm, how about :set hls / (that's / space) It works but it's less obvious in an email. (and :nohls will clear the highlighting). Alternatively, :set list will show ~s at the end of lines containing spaces, too. :set list will replace tabs by ^I (two screen cells) unless 'listchars' has been set to include a tab: suboption, e.g. with :set list listchars+=tab:\ \ which also ends in a space.

cindent without statement terminator?
Hi all, I'm working with an embedded language (AMX Netlinx) that has (mostly) a C like syntax and conditional keywords. It doesn't have a ; statement terminator, though. Cindent mostly works, but gets tripped up on conditional statements that aren't enclosed in braces due to the lack of the semicolon. Is there a way to tell cindent/cinoptions to ignore the lack of a semicolon? Or do I have to write a custom indent file? If option (b), is there a gentle introduction somewhere on the innards of the indent file? I tried to use the javascript file as a template, but got a bit tripped up syntax issues. Thanks for any pointers, David

Re: Setting Up Debugging
