RE: mouse-wheel scrolling with vertically split windows
Bringing it up with " gvim -u NONE -U NONE", I see guioptions=egmrLtT. I set it to your options (gimrLTt) and I see the same behavior as before - the mouse wheel only scrolls the left window. > When running as a GUI, if I use my mouse wheel to scroll, > the window under the mouse pointer scrolls, regardless of > whether or not it is selected for keyboard input. IMHO > this is "proper" behavior. I agree. Even with the CTRL-mouse-wheel work-around, it scrolls the right/left window based on which window is selected/active. I agree with you, it should simply scroll the window under the pointer. -Original Message- From: A.J.Mechelynck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 8:22 PM To: Waters, Bill Cc: vim@vim.org Subject: Re: mouse-wheel scrolling with vertically split windows Waters, Bill wrote: > (I am using gVim 7.1 in Windows XP.) > > If I do a :vsplit, I end up with a scroll bar on the right for the right > window and a scroll bar on the left for the left window.

When running as a GUI, if I use my mouse wheel to scroll, the window under the mouse pointer scrolls, regardless of whether or not it is selected for keyboard input. IMHO this is "proper" behaviour. In the GUI, when there are three vertically split windows, and I use the scrollbars (not the wheel) then which scrollbar moves the (selected) middle window depends on which window it was split from. In console mode there are no scrollbars: When running in konsole, then if I use the wheel, the selected window scrolls, not necessarily the one under the mouse pointer. When running in the linux console (/dev/tty), the mouse is recognised but the wheel has no effect. What is your 'guioptions' set to? Mine is gimrLTt and in the GUI I see the right-hand scrollbar always, the left-hand one if there is a vertical split. Best regards, Tony. -- "I'd love to go out with you, but I'm converting my calendar watch from Julian to Gregorian."

mouse-wheel scrolling with vertically split windows
(I am using gVim 7.1 in Windows XP.) If I do a :vsplit, I end up with a scroll bar on the right for the right window and a scroll bar on the left for the left window. When I use my mouse wheel to scroll, the left window scrolls, regardless of which window is selected. If I do a Edit->Global Settings->Toggle Right Scroll Bar, the right scroll bar disappears. But I am able to mouse-wheel scrolling based on which window is selected. Is there a way to keep both scroll bars, and be able to mouse-wheel scroll based on which window is selected?

RE: savevers plugin
I don't want to have to remember to periodically purge the backup files. And I don't want the backups to string on forever and fill my harddrive. In actual practice, I would set savevers_max to 100 or 1000. The backup function would be running and I wouldn't ever have to think about it, other then when I need to access old data. I also want it out of site, thus the questions about having one backup directory and the need to make file names unique. -Original Message- From: Yakov Lerner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:39 AM To: Waters, Bill Cc: vim@vim.org Subject: Re: savevers plugin On 5/3/07, Waters, Bill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am looking at using the savevers plugin.

I would prefer to look at the new file in a separate, > side-by-side Microsoft Window. In that case, you could map your "jump to tag" key to a command that would execute gvim -t I'll leave that to you to figure out since it may require ":!start gvim ..." instead of just ":!gvim ..." and I don't do Windows that much.

Jump to tag opens VIM in a new Microsoft Windows XP window
When I jump to a tag reference in a different file, can I have VIM open that file in a new Microsoft Window? As it works now, I jump to the new file in the same VIM session. I have three problems with that: 1. VIM will not jump to the tag unless all of the changes in my current file have been saved. 2. When I jump to the new file, I loose the undo buffer for the previous file. 3. I would prefer to look at the new file in a separate, side-by-side Microsoft Window. I see how I can jump to a new split window in the current VIM session, but that is not preferred/ideal. Thanks, Bill
