Re: embedable vim?

Using w3m, it's easy to use Vim to edittext areas. I shall assume that you are using a graphic web-browser and assume further that you are using Firefox. In which case then there a couple of extensions / add-ins for Firefox which you can use. My preference is: ViewSourceWith http://dafizilla.sourceforge.net/viewsourcewith/ Others like: It's All Text! https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/4125/ Both require a little configuration to tell them where (g)Vim is, etc. This was discussed on this list a little while ago http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.vim.mac/127/.

ViewSourceWith http://dafizilla.sourceforge.net/viewsourcewith/ Don't see something about Vim here... Sorry, Bram, I should have mentioned that a little configuration is required here. I should also mention that ViewSourceWith does more than it says on the tin, insofar as you can do more than viewing source with it. It provides a menu item for you to launch your favourite text editor (Vim) from a textarea. I've been using it for a while now under Windows. I suspect that to use it under Linux then a shell script like the one you provided would be needed.

Re: Inline script execution

I don't see any such example under :help :@ (in *repeat.txt*For Vim version 7.0. Last change: 2006 Sep 20 at lines 120 sqq.). Where are you seeing that example? I think :help :@ is a red herring here. The example is under :he vim-script-intro. To the OP: The lines are being executed as you enter them on the command line, which is why you get the first result back so soon. Try pasting the example into a script file (say, test.vim), since this is a scripting example. :source test.vim should provide you with the output I think you expect.

You could simply do
:%g/.{73,}/normal gqq
see help gqq
This would of course keep the hard line break (if there is one)
between ...Very Very Very and Very Very Very long line. You
can't have it both ways.
Indeed. The alternative solution would be to insert a blank line
above each function definition (if one did not exist), which may
improve the clarity of the document.
Just a thought...

Hi Pete!
Hi!
thank you very much for this line of code -- works like a
charme!

/.\{73,}/ find all lines longer than 72 chars and for each do
Yup.
normal ??? go into normal mode ???
v ? visual mode (and for what is the good for?)
normalv}gq isn't an editor command, so you have to split 'normal'
and 'v'. There may be a better way of doing this.
}gq only white noise for mea C-programme I
would say, that there is on } too many in the whole expression
but simultaneously I know, that I am wrong.???
} is a motion: it moves one paragraph forward.
See :help }
gq formats the highlighted lines.
See :he gq
There are other ways of solving this problem, I am sure, but I
like the way this works because it leaves paragraphs alone that
are shorter then 73 characters wide, rather than expanding them.

Re: Allow only one instance of vim on Windows

Indeed it does, but this won't start a new tab for you. If you specifically want to open new tabs for files, the following solution may work for you: 1. Create a Windows shortcut in %USERPROFILE%\SendTo 2. For the location of the item, enter C:\Program Files\Vim\vim70\gvim.exe --servername GVIM --remote-tab-silent 3. Give your shortcut an appropriate name. 4. You can now right-click on files and Send To a new Vim Tab.

Indeed. This would work well for a given paragraph.

Close but no cigar. 'k' would move up a line. 'ip' is Inner

line works.
