I have both vim-perl and vim-python installed, and even though they have the same priority, the system is defaulting to vim.python. You can change that with update-alternatives --config, but then you'll run into a similar situation if you (or someone else on that machine) want to use Python to script Vim. :) So now the question is, is it possible to enable both Perl and Python at the same time? We have vim-full which has support for all the interpreters (minus MzScheme). This is one of the situations where binary distributions are lacking because there's a trade-off between trying to meet everyone's needs and having numerous different versions of the same program. Joy! vim-full is just the ticket. I can't think why it was not installed before. Binary distributions do have drawbacks, but generally, managing all of my programs with apt is far more effective then muddling with source when I don't have to. Thanks for the help. Gentoo does it quite well, and generally you don't have to modify things and is all managed. In spite of that I am, too, a Debian user for the same reason you stated ;-). -- Regards, EddyP = Imagination is more important than knowledge A.Einstein

plugins are not used, help not visible
Hello all, I have just came across an issue which I don't know hw to solve. I have tried and read the documentation, but I can't figure out what is the problem. I tried to add the c/c++ support plugin to my windows installation of vim, but I observed nothing happened. The help was not found, nor any functions that should have appeared. I tried with a smaller plugin and found the problem is the same: :help does not find it and no functions are found (tab completion does not work). If I run :scriptnames the script is listed as sourced. Any idea what can I do to fix this? Probably this is somthing stupid that I did... P.S.: I have installed taglist previously and it works since I installed it (including at the moment). -- Regards, EddyP = Imagination is more important than knowledge A.Einstein

Re: Vim Job board?

Most of the developers in my software lab use CodeWright for development, and although I'm pretty sure it supports tags, they do multiple greps to descend through multiple levels of function call or macro expansion! The company strongly encourages the use of CodeWright by developers, as they have an army of developers in Romania who have integrated CodeWright into what they call the Toolset, a behemoth program or suite of programs, which is supposed to insulate That is the company policy which the department applies blindly in fear not to have unreplaceable persons the developer from messy things like makefiles, compilers and linkers. A good tool is always an asset, but a bad tool is not. I'll let you judge which thinhg are good and which are bad :) They also attempt to restrict programmers to a very uninteresting subset of the C programming language, in an attempt to decrease the likelihood of programmer error. I find such rules extremely restrictive and annoying. I believe the problem is that there are many people whose job description calls for software development, who are not really programmers. Thus, the job is dumbed-down to accomodate the least common denominator... Again the we can replace anybody policy at work... believe me. P.S.: youdidn't said anything about the SCM, which repeatedly is used badly because not enough time for training is available ;-) -- Regards, EddyP = Imagination is more important than knowledge A.Einstein
