Re: cindent weirdness
Looks lika a misbehaving sript. In the problem buffer (if and when the error reappears): :verbose setlocal cindent? cinoptions? indentexpr? - 'cinoptions' influences how 'cindent' works - if 'indentexpr' is nonempty, it overrules 'cindent'. :verbose will tell you where each of these options was last set. It just happened again right now. So here is the result of your suggested command: cindent Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim70/indent/c.vim cinoptions= indentexpr=GetTexIndent() Last set from ~/shared_home/vim/plugin/indent/tex.vim So I suppose it might be tex.vim screwing things up there ?

Probably. Check the source of that tex.vim indent plugin. I suspect that 'indentexpr' is defined with :set (clobbering indent options for all windows and buffers) instead of with :setlocal (setting the option for its own buffer only). If that is the case, replace set by setlocal in a line similar to set indentexpr=GetTexIndent() and notify the script's maintainer (whose name and email address ought to be mentioned in a comment near the start of the script).

Does automated line unwrap exist?
I frequently use automated line wrap (eg, 'wrapmargin', fmt(1) integration,
etc) to write documents (like asciidoc sources) in vim.
I'd like to use an automated unwrap feature. Does such a thing exist in
vim? Or a unix/linux command primitive I can integrate (similar to the way
I use 'map v {!}fmt^M' to fix paragraph wrap while I'm editing them?
Even better, might vim include a programmable feature now or in the future
to automatically make non-wrapped lines look like wrapped lines much like
WYSIWYG editors do?
My main goal: I want to be able to use the spell-and-grammar checking of
editors like MS Word when I'm done writing my asciidoc text, but MS Word
doesn't handle hard-lines well when doing this. I haven't found another
editor that does spell-and-grammar checking as well as word (I couldn't
figure out how to get OpenOffice Writer to do it well).
There are other goals, but this is the big one.

If I understand what you're doing, if you have your 'textwidth'
property set to
what you want, you can use
gqip
to reformat the paragraph you're currently sitting on. This
should work on platforms that don't have fmt available.
Even better, might vim include a programmable feature now or
in the future to automatically make non-wrapped lines look
like wrapped lines much like WYSIWYG editors do?
Well, Vim does offer the 'wrap' option
:set linebreak wrap tw=0
Your lines should then visually wrap, but not have embedded line
breaks.
If you want to join all the lines in a paragraph, you can use
vipJ
or, if you want to do it over your entire document, you can do
things like
:g/^\s*\n.*\S/+norm vipJ
You can tweak that expression to find (or exclude) whatever you want.
Any of those should be mappable if you want.
If this doesn't do the trick, it might help to better explain
what you're looking for it to do.

If you want to format all paragraphs as single lines, set textwidth to a very
large number, then reformat:
:set wm=0 tw=99
:normal gggqG

Mouse to position cursor
Hi, I may be shunned from the vim console using community for asking this, but, is there anyway to simulate the behaviour of gvim from the console, ie. left click to position the cursor to a point within the text, right click to select blocks of it, middle click to paste (it already does the second two). I would find this a lot faster in most circumstances (sometimes I don't know how many n's back a character is off the top of my head). Thanks. Mayur

Mayur Left-clicking should already position the cursor, but you can do :verbose set mouse? mousemodel? followed by :set mouse=ar mousemodel=extend which makes the mouse act as folows: left-click:set cursor left-drag: start selection shift-left:search word right-click: extend selection right-drag:extend selection middle-click: paste see :help 'mouse' :help 'mousemodel' In addition, - don't source mswin.vim - either don't use :behave, or use :behave xterm which (among others) sets 'mousemodel' to extend. Best regards, Tony.
Re: Mouse to position cursor
Hi, thanks for that: I checked, and it's set to mouse =ar mousemodel = extend, but click at a position still doesn't not move the block cursor position; although triple clicking selects the word... any idea what the issue could be? thanks, I'll keep checking the help file too...

Mayur Which version/patchlevel are you using? (See the first 4 lines of the output of :version; and see :help :redir about how to capture that output.) I have VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled Dec 5 2006 22:18:11) Included patches: 1-178 Compiled by [EMAIL PROTECTED] Huge version with GTK2-GNOME GUI. Features included (+) or not (-): (etc.) and here I see the following: single left click positions cursor double left click selects word (except in help, where it jumps to help for clicked word) triple left click selects line quadruple left click selects block You say a triple left click selects word... - What happens on double click? - Do you have mappings with left-hand sides like LeftMouse, 2-LeftMouse, 3-LeftMouse etc.?

Regexp pattern confusion...
Hi,
in a previous mail I asked for a way to replace $variable with
${variable} in shell scripts.
One suggested solution was to apply the following to the script
:%s/\$\zs\(\w\+\)/{\1}/gc
which works nicely.
Now I wanted to extend the above expression to also change
$-expressions in my shell scripts like
$#arrayvar
$?
$*
$@
...and so on. So I changed (just for a test first) the above
expression with
:%s/\$\zs\([\w]\+\)/{\1}/gc
(added [] around \w) which -- as far as I know (and it seems, that
this isn't enough in this case... ;) -- does not change anything,
since it simply says: one or more of the itenms in the []s -- and the
only item is a word-character.
But suddenly nothing was matched anymore
My final approach was this one:
:%s/\$\zs\([\w\#\$\*\?]\+\)/{\1}/gc
but
What did I wrong here ?
Thank you very much for any help in advance !
Have a nice weekend!
