Re: How to wrap sentences?
Hi! I frequently copy and paste text from web pages and would like to break lines at (say) 72 without splitting words. It sounds strange, but I use to do the following: :set noai nosi tw=72 fo Then I copy the text of the web page to the clibboard, enter Insert mode, and do C-R* to paste the content of the clipboard. In my experience this works best for my purposes. I apply above settings, because with my default settings C-R* does not do what I want it to do in this case. Best wishes, Georg
Re: search vs closed folds
When I search and I have closed folds, vim will automatically open the closed fold if next match is in the closed fold. Is there setting to disable this auto-opening ? Not to open the closed fold when searching ? You may want to add set foldopen-=search to your vimrc file. Just read :h 'foldopen' Best wishes, Georg

Re: invoking yanked register into colon command
Hi!
For example, I do often want to
replace a name in the text with another. What I used to do is
selecting it with mouse and type
:%s/ctrl-ins/newname/gc
Is there a way to do this with the mouse (and without retyping the name) ?
What I want is maybe something like 'invoking a yanked register in my
colon command'
I have the following in my vimrc file:
function MakeSearchString(str)
return substitute(escape(@, '\\/.*$^~[]'), '\n', '\\n', 'g')
endfunction
function! SIDVisualSearch(direction)
if a:direction == '#'
let l:rhs = y?
else
let l:rhs = y/
endif
let l:rhs = l:rhs . \C-R=MakeSearchString(@\)\CR\CRgV
return l:rhs
endfunction
vnoremap expr * SIDVisualSearch('*')
vnoremap expr # SIDVisualSearch('#')
vnoremap F3 y/C-R=MakeSearchString(@)CR
vnoremap S-F3 y?C-R=MakeSearchString(@)CR
vnoremap M-F3 y:%s/C-R=MakeSearchString(@)CR/
With this just select a text and by typing F3 you can search for the
selected text and by typing M-F3 you can replace it easily. '*'
searches forward and '#' backwards like '*' and '#' do for the word
under the cursor in normal mode.

Re: Copy a line of text without the LF
Hi! But why I do need a specialised command ? That's no specialised command, but the syntax of y. You type y and then a motion. $ moves to the end of the line. Why does y/$ y/[pattern] moves to the first occurance of the pattern. The cursor is positioned on the first character of the pattern, but this character is never yanked (which is exactly what one expects normally). (despite the settings of the selection option) The selection option is not relevant here, because you don't select anything here. Why do I have to leave / off and have to use y$ The syntax of y in Normal mode is y followed by a motion. And why does yany other character does not work? If any other character is no motion, then this must not work. Is this inconsistency needed? This is no inconsistency. Just read: :h motion.txt :h copy-move BTW, my suggestion has the advantage of using Visual mode.

I have checked that (even before writing the report and now again) and the path seems to be ok, there is no error before that. If I change the path, I get the error, that EXTERN.h is not found. I set the path to C:\Perl as in this example of the make file: # Example: To build the non-debug, GUI version with Perl interface: # nmake -f Make_mvc.mak GUI=yes PERL=C:\Perl To be precise, I set the following: set PERL=C:\Perl set DYNAMIC_PERL=yes set PERL_VER=58 In the make file I can see, that this should really be the correct path.

Re: Insert mode: C-R does not paste the whole register
Hi! Where do you find this vimtips.txt with 4 lines? I only found one with 3543 lines. http://www.vim.org/tips/tip_download.php?download=download It contains a lot of empty lines, has a sice of a little more then 1,2 MB, and has 40243 lines at the moment. I tried another file but it worked fine. With other files I had no problems, too, but most times these were smaller files. Perhaps you run out of memory? I have 2 GB and had only Outlook and Vim open. Memory should not be a problem. Also note that text gets formatted if you put it like this. If you have 'autoformat' set the number of lines will change. That's the reason for doing that. With 'gqap' for example, the formating is different to what I want when I do C-R. However, the number of lines should increase, but it seems just to stop somewhere. BTW, there is no error message. I am working with Vim 7.0f03 on Windows XP.

Re: some problem with vim7f Beta
This behavior of C-N and C-P is not new, it was the same befor, too, not only in Vim 7. It is not wise to change it and BTW, it is a good behavior for most people. My main point is: I don't want to select entry in the completion menu by pressing CTRL-N or CTRL-P, instead, I want to input enough characters to make correct entry become the first entry and it is highlighted, then I can use CTRL-Y(yes, I have mapped Enter to CTRL-Y since I am tempted to use Enter) to confirm the completion. If you don't want your typed characters to be replaced by the first completion, just add a mapping like this: inoremap C-Space C-NC-P and it won't be replaced. If you type, then the list of possible completions gets smaller. You still have to select the correct entry by yourself, but if I understand you correctly, this might be very near to that, which you seem to want.

Re: Guitab: font size
Hi! What system font size are you using? Right-click on a blank spot on your desktop, Properties, Appearance, Font size. Do you have similar problems with the tabbar on other Windows apps, such as the aforementioned Display Properties dialog? Because of the high resolution of my laptop display: 11. There are no similar problems with other applications as far as I have seen until now. The Win32 tabbar is just using built-in common controls. Yes, as far as I know, it takes the font size of the menu. Normally this is no problem at all, but if the height is fixed as Bram wrote, using a larger font than 10 results in cutting something away from the text. Taking the system value is a very good idea, but it would be even better, if the height were flexible. Best wishes, Georg Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
Guitab: font size
Hi! Since I am working on a laptop with a 1400x1050 display, the fonts I am using are rather large. That is, the menu font has a size of 11 pixel. The problem is, that on inactive Guitabs, which use the size of the menu as its text size, the text gets cut a little bit. The largest font size seems to be 10 pixel. I have not found an option to configure this. Is there a possibility other than changing the code or the menu font?

Re: a[M:N]
Hi! a[M:N] should _never_ produce errors because returning an empty (or truncated) list for a[M:N] unambiguously conveys to the programmer that M len(a) (or N len(a)). In my opinion one has done something wrong if one wants to get a sublist whith wrong bounds. That's why an error has to be produced. Returning an empty list looks like everything is ok where it is not. It takes some time to find an error if no error message is produced in such cases. The most common use-case for the slice operation I can think of is: for item in somelist[M:N] do something endfor This is a good example. M and N are not further described here. But M and N must come from somewhere. If they are out of bounds, then in many or even most cases the programmer has done something wrong. Even if there may be some cases where this could make sense, it will be better to add an if. An error is no intrusion as you call it, but a very helpful signal that there is something wrong. Having a[M:N] never be an error makes the above work flawlessly. What does 'flawlessly' mean here? Not to get an error is not good if there is one. What may result in more harm: an additional if or writing a good code, where your examples doesn't exist, or not producing an error where something goes completely wrong? Therefore, IMPORTANT Can you think of a use-case when returning an empty list will cause the programmer to do the wrong thing? / is the wrong question. It is up to you to show, that not producing an error message here won't cause the wrong thing to happen. I cannot see that this is the case. Note that this and all succeeding examples are for cases when somelist is created dynamically, so we do not have an apriori idea of how long somelist is. But somewhere you have assigned some values to M and N. That will be done dynamically, too. If they are out of bounds, a highly probable reason for that is, that you have done something wrong. IMHO python does exactly the right thing by not producing errors when returning a value can unambiguously convey the same information to the user. And the programmers may search many hours and sometimes several days to find errors which are covered by that. Less restricting programming languages seem to be nice because you don't get so many error messages. But these languages have in common, that it is very hard to find some types of errors, which can be avoided in more restricting languages. Best wishes, Georg ___ Switch an email account to Yahoo!

Re: 7.0e: Problem with vertical splits on windows xp
Hi! Well, this problem is older, since Vim 6.4 behaved like that, too. If a vertical split is created and guioptions contain L, a scrollbar is added which makes the windows wider by the amount of the scrollbar. I have removed the L from the guioptions and don't miss it.

The gvim window will move horizontally such that the gvim window's right edge is on the right most edge of my primary monitor. (My primary monitor is on the left, my secondary is on the right.) Also, (and this is a very minor nit) the whole gvim window will widen by an amount equal to the thickness of the vertical scrollbar.

Re: a[M:N]

Re: a[M:N]
Hi! Handling N len(a) except when a happens to be 0 seems a bit counterintuitive. No: Let's assume, that you have an empty list a. Then M in a[M:N] is always out of bounds, which should produce an error. Analogously, if a is not empty, but M len(a), an error should be produced, too. (BTW, is an error produced in this case at the moment?) And my opinion is, that an error should be produced, too, if N len(a) and a is not 0. A programmer should take care of the bounds. If an index is out of bounds, I consider it as wrong not to produce an error. But this is, as I have said already, just my humble opinion. The following situation would be different: If M were the starting point and N the number of items, one could say, that a[M:N] should return at most N items starting with the M'th item. Just my 2 cents. Best wishes, Georg ___ 24 FIFA World Cup tickets to be won with Yahoo! Mail http://uk.mail.yahoo.com
Re: vim/win32 built with mingw/cygwin ?
Hi! I wonder if anybody tried to build win32 native gvim with mingw or/and cygwin (the native win32 gui vim). Before I switched to the free MS compiler (I follow George Reilly's instructions) I had built gVim and Vim with native MinGW. I have never had any problems. IMHO building Vim with MinGW is much easier than building it with the MS compiler, because it takes some time to install the MS compiler and everything which is needed for building Vim. Installing MinGW with its installer is not only much easier, the amount of downloaded bytes is significantly smaller, too.

default cursorline/cursorcolumn with dark background
Hi! Vim choses the default colors of the syntax highlighting for gVim depending of the value of background. If I add the lines set background=dark hi Normal guifg=#e0e0e0 guibg=#202020 I get the defaults for dark backgrounds. Unfortunately, the background colors of cursorline and cursorcolumns are the same as in the light default color scheme, that is Grey90. The problem with this is, that the text gets unreadable. This affects all dark color schemes which don't have the CursorLine and CursorColumn highlights defined. I think, a better color of guibg would be Grey40 or something like that. Older color schemes would work again, if the default were better. Best wishes and happy Easter! Georg ___ Switch an email account to Yahoo!

Re: Strange behavior with highlights defined in gvimrc
Hi! What does :verbose hi Constant guifg=Maroon show? Nothing. But the Constants are Maroon afterwards. In addition to the above sort of debugging, you can add a line like let g:foo = 2006 April 16 background= . background to your color scheme file. The date stamp is to avoid confusion the *next* time you add debugging comments. :eval g:foo shows, that the value of 'background' is 'dark'. Shouldn't it be light (docu: When starting the GUI, the default value for 'background' will be light)? Best wishes, Georg ___ 24 FIFA World Cup tickets to be won with Yahoo!

Re: invisible bar in help tags
Hi! In vim 7.0d02 I'm unable to see the '|' which usually surround tag in vim's help file (e.g. around 'usr_01.txt' in the first help page opened by ':helpCR'). This is not a bug, but a feature. The name of the highlight is 'Ignore'. The foreground color highlight 'Ignore' is set to the value of the background color in nearly all color schemes, which is exactly the purpose of the highlight 'Ignore'. That is, the bars are not to be seen. IMHO this looks much nicer than before. Best wishes, Georg ___ Switch an email account to Yahoo!

Re: invisible bar in help tags
Sorry, but to be totally lost is something completely different, the user just has to move the cursor. There are not many invisible characters anyway. Not that easy: if you are in the main help page you can have plenty of invisible characters on the same column and then only moving right will reveal where the cursor is, moving the other three directions wont. What you call 'totally lost' is only a minor problem compared to that, what 'totally lost' means in reality. Are you sure that you know, what it means to be totally lost? It's my belief that the cursor should always be visible on the screen. Then feel free to change your terminal settings and/or your cursor settings such that you can see your cursor everywhere. Other people don't seem to have that problem, so it might be a problem of your configuration and not a general one. Best wishes, Georg ___ Yahoo!
