transform "" to "Word1...Wordn"
I have a bunch of expressions of the form: "" lower case words with spaces between them enclosed in angle brackets. (the ... means 0 or more). I would like a macro (place cursor within <>s and execute macro) that converts the above to: "Word1Word2...Wordn" Is the only way to do this to write a function? Thanks.

escaping special characters in visual search
I've got the following visual maps which I use to do visual base searches: vmap F y?" vmap f y/" They work great, select some characters in visual mode and then enter 'f' (or 'F'). The one caveat is if there are characters that have special meaning in searched such as the '[' ']' pair in the visual selection, then the search fails. Does anyone have a macro that will allow visual selection based searches that account for such special characters being in the selection? Thanks.

Bug 1492165 - Dictionary function chaining
Just an FYI, I've just submitted a demonstration patch that allows one to do dictionary function chaining. Some of you might be interested in extending the patch to include value access via applying a key to the results of a function (if the function returns a dictionary). RME Text to bug report: This concerns functions and dictionaries While bug: 1491613 is a true error in the existing code, this bug is more of an enhancement. Currently if a function returns a dictionary, one can not call a function on that returned dictionary (or access a value via a key) inline: let v = dict1.getDict2().getValue() ( Note: the include patch does not address the following: let v = dict1.getDict2().somekey let v = dict1.getDict2()[somekey] ) With this patch the following code: XXX " " example of function chaining " let gt6 = {'cylinder': 6, 'manufacture': "Triumph" } let twodoor = {'sunbeam': "sunbeam", 'gt6': gt6 } function twodoor.getGt6() dict return self.gt6 endfunction let fourdoor = {'stationwagon': "stationwagon", 'sedan': "sedan" } let cars = {'twodoor': twodoor, 'fourdoor': fourdoor } function cars.getTwodoor() dict return self.twodoor endfunction function cars.getFourdoor() dict return self.fourdoor endfunction let pickup = {'ford': "Ford", "toyota": "Toyota" } let van = {'ford': "Ford", "gm": "GM" } let trucks = {'pickup': pickup, "van": van } function trucks.getPickup() dict return self.pickup endfunction function trucks.getVan() dict return self.van endfunction let vehicles = {'cars': cars, "trucks": trucks } function vehicles.getCars() dict return self.cars endfunction function vehicles.getTrucks() dict return self.trucks endfunction echo "gt6 = " . string(vehicles.getCars().getTwodoor().getGt6()) XXX produces the the following: gt6 = {'cylinder': 6, 'manufacture': 'Triumph'} The included patch is more of a demonstration of what can be done (it also includes the patch associated with bug 1491613). It only allows for mult-level function chaining. In addition, I am certain that its not the correct way to implement this feature. -- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.

Set color block of text
Is there a way in a vim script to set the color (fg/bg) to a block of text? say from line 12 to line 15 and from column 4 to column 9. The text in this block can be anything, not syntax.

Re: fast file opening / find file as you type
Up at the vim site theres a script called javae.vim: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1164 This lets one create a list of directory paths to Java source code. Then, if one places the cursor over a class name, you can jump to the associated source file. RME Benjamin Reitzammer wrote: Hi, I've searched the archive and asked many search engines for help, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for (well, I'll stop the humming, singing instantly ;) Currently I switch between jEdit and vim on a hourly basis, depending on the machine I'm working. I really love vim and would like to use it exclusively, but until now there's one major thing missing for me, that I couldn't find. "Find filenames as you type, and open them instantly" or explained in more detail ... In jEdit there's a plugin called Openit (http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?OpenIt) which let's me configure a number of directories. It then indexes the filenames contained in these directories. Then it gives me the opportunity to search through all the indexed filenames very, very quickly, and opening a found file. Combined with fast typing, knowing the names of your files, and a shortcut for opening the searching window, this is awesome. I've uploaded a screenshot to better convey what I mean. It's at http://nur-eine-i.de/openit_screenshot.png Now my question: Is there something similar for vim? Or do you guys have any hacks, shell scripts for achieving this? Pressing a key combination, typing in some letters, hitting enter and you opened another file? This would really make my day (and some more weeks), if there was anything like that for vim.

vim7 spell none file
with a file with no extension when ss is executed regardless of whats in the file I get: Spell check done: 1 possible spell errors in 1 words. For a *.java file I get spelling errors highlighted in comments so spell is working - at least for java comments. How do I get spell to work on a "none" file?
