Re: how to replace ESC to some other key?
map something to C-Vtab, and it will insert a real tab character for you. for example: inoremap silent F6 c-vtab will map F6 for you, replace it with anything you want. I always need such a map, since I've set 'expandtab' all the time. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606 wangxu [EMAIL PROTECTED] 写于 2007-04-11 23:16:08: That's a very good tip: ) I also wanna know how to insert a Tab when I editing files like /etc/hosts?

A nice efm for javac
Hello,
I've put some spare time into an errorformat string and a filter script
which I think makes plain-old javac compilation (read: not using JUnit,
not using Ant) quite a bit nicer than the examples from :help
errorformat-javac, without being too heavy or complicated. I've tested
this with only Vim 7.0.122 on Linux, Sun Java 1.6.0, and only minimally
at that.
It correctly discovers the column number even if you use tabs in your
source code, doesn't fill the error message variable with extra crud,
shows the symbol: and location: lines in the quickfix window, but
properly skips over them when doing :cnext and :cprevious. Note that
symbol: and location: will appear above their related error message
in the quickfix window.
Here's the sed script to filter the output from javac. I named it
'vim-javac-filter' and placed it in my path.
#!/bin/sed -f
/\^$/s/\t/\ /g;/:[0-9]\+:/{h;d};/^[ \t]*\^/G;
In English, that sed script:
- Changes tabs to spaces and
- Moves the line with the filename, line number, error message to just
after the pointer line. That way, the extra gunk between doesn't
break vim's notion of a multi-line message and also doesn't force
us to include that gunk as a continuation of a multi-line message.
Here's the corresponding efm:
:setlocal errorformat=%Z%f:%l:\ %m,%A%p^,%-G%*[^sl]%.%#
To make it work using :make:
:setlocal makeprg=javac\ %\ 21\ \\\|\ vim-javac-filter
Enjoy,
-Mike

Re: remote-silent and stdin
Sorry I wasn't clear last time. I am trying to redirect the output of
stdin to a remote client(not necessarily ls). Like if I want to do a
cat file | gvim --remote-silent .
Its looks like -remote-silent takes in only files as arguments.
And its documented, too:
--remote [+{cmd}] {file} ...*--remote*
Open the file list in a remote Vim. When
there is no Vim server, execute locally.
There is one optional init command: +{cmd}.
This must be an Ex command that can be
followed by |.
The rest of the command line is taken as the
file list. Thus any non-file arguments must
come before this.
You cannot edit stdin this way |--|.
The remote Vim is raised. If you don't want
this use
vim --remote-send C-\C-N:n filenameCR
--remote-silent [+{cmd}] {file} ...*--remote-silent*
As above, but don't complain if there is no
server and the file is edited locally.
Note the line that says You cannot edit stdin this way.

Vim is written in C and can be obtained at http://www.vim.org/sources.php Alternatively, you can write code in vimscript (the ex-like language used internal to Vim) which you can get familiar with by surfing on over to http://www.vim.org/scripts/index.php and there's plenty to read in Vim's internal documentation: :help usr_41.txt As it's open source, you're welcome to hack on any of it you like. However, if you want to offer something back, do take the time to search the scripts/plugins section of vim.org for an existing script/plugin that may already do what you want. If you're looking to attack some of the requested features, there's a running list of them at http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php where I'm sure folks would be glad to have. Enjoy, -tim

[PATCH] Fwd: Determining whether a window used :lcd
The attached patch very simply implements the following from the todo: 7 There is no way to change directory and go back without changing the local and/or global directory. Add a way to find out if the current window uses a local directory. Add cdcmd() that returns :cd or :lcd? I personally would prefer the function be called something like 'isdirlocal()'. I need this feature for my vcscommand.vim plugin, which changes directory a fair amount, and can screw up the user environment if the user makes use of :lcd.
