 Right of course. I will try sending another patch fixing these points.

 Good, thanks.

Attached is a patch that fixes the above issues. It's on top of
version 7.2.28 (subversion revision 1226).


 BTW do you think an implementation of netbeans over Vim console is
 acceptable as a Vim patch (as opposed to an external patch such as
 those in http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/web/vim-patches).

 If you can make the netbeans interface work for a Vim running in a
 console, that sounds like a useful feature.  I would include it if it
 works properly.  However, some programs using the netbeans interface
 assume GUI features, such as menus.  Thus it's probably only useful
 for some applications.

I will give it a try.

 It's a low priority bug since Vim is normally not built with

Re: bad default shellxquote in Widows

  Best regards,

 Ah yes, this would be a reasonable solution in the general case. I
 have two issues with it, however:
 
 1. It would require separate logic for Unix vs. Windows, whereas
 simply fixing the default value of shellxquote and shellcmdflag for
 Windows would allow the same logic to be used.
 2. In the particular plugin I was working on, which highlights errors
 in MATLAB scripts using the mlint utility, system() is used to pass a
 file name to mlint. One of the checks that mlint does is to ensure
 that the file name is formed from a legal MATLAB identifier. Using
 the short form of Windows path names, mlint will always return this
 error if the file name is longer than 8 characters (though
 incidentally, the file name is also invalid if it contains spaces, but
 theoretically the temporary directory it is stored in may have spaces
 in the path with no problems).
 
 So I think the better solution would be to fix the values of
 shellxquote and shellcmdflag, either by adding extra logic to the
 plugin, or by actually changing the defaults.
 
 For convienience, the suggested default values are:
 
  for windows, always:
 set shellxquote=\
  for windows, when 'shell' does not contain sh somewhere:
 set shellcmdflag=/s\ /c
 
 This will place extra quotes around the entire command, and force the
 cmd.exe behavior that removes the first and last quote from the line
 if the first character is a quote.

I think this should only be done for cmd.exe, not for command.com.  So
the check should not be 'shell' not matching sh but 'shell' matching
cmd.

 I personally think that the current defaults break in enough cases
 that we should change them as suggested in this thread, but I can see
 the argument for keeping the current values to prevent plugins like
 taglist that escape quotes with backslashes depending on the value of
 shellxquote. Plugin developers may have assumed (as done in the
 taglist plugin) that if the cmd.exe shell is used, shellxquote will
 _not_ be equal to a  character. Thus, setting shellxquote to \
 causes code to execute that is not intended to run at all for the
 cmd.exe shell.

Yes there is a risk.  It's hard to tell what might break.

Feature request? Cannot set the color of non selected entries in the wildmenu

2008-11-08 Fir de Conversatie François Ingelrest

Hi all,

The only highlight concerning the wildmenu I'm aware of is 'WildMenu'.
This lets me choose how the current match should be highlighted, but I
can't set the style of other entries in that menu. AFAICT, Vim
automatically uses the highlight style of the status bar.

This is annoying, because I like to use colors such as dark grey /
white for this kind of things (e.g., completion menu, tabs), so that
the current entry is clearly visible. However, to do that, I would
have to set the foregound color of the status bar to dark grey,
resulting in a status bar not easily readable most of the time (when
the wildmenu is not currently used).

Is there a solution to this problem?

 The patch is:

I have some trouble understanding how this works.  If it works like
CTRL-P, then why not use CTRL-P?  At least that avoids the problem that
someone wants to insert a Tab and gets completion instead.  Your
description sounds like it's a bit unpredictable.

The patch is hard-coding things that should be flexible.  For example,
in MS-Windows the path separator is a backslash.  And one should use
'isfname' to check if a character can be part of a file name.  The code
is also lacking support for multi-byte characters.  Still some work to
do!  But before you spend time on that, we need to find out if we really
want it to work this way.

Update of the mail.vim syntax file

2008-11-08 Fir de Conversatie Gautam Iyer
Hi All,

I just updated the mail.vim syntax file to include syntax folding. It
now supports folding away quoted text, headers, and signatures.

Does someone have comments? Issues are as follows:

1. Someone who has fdm=syntax will start composing new mail with all
   text folded away (his signature, header, and quoted text). I
   presume this is useless. I avoid this by putting an autocommand
   that sets fdc=3 and fdl=9 for mail files. But perhaps this should
   be done by default in the ftplugin file, if the user has
   fdm=syntax.

2. Bram uses expression folding: I attach the snipped he sent to me
   (off list). Perhaps this should go into the default ftplugin
   file, and add documentation saying mail can be folded by
   syntax/expression etc.

3. Would be nice to have the important header fields unfolded. But
   that would involve splitting the header into multiple regions,
   which might or might not be desirable.

Not to be a wet blanket, but I do have a couple of comments.

1.  A proper signature is no more than 4 lines and appears at the 
very bottom of the message, so folding it seems hardly 
worthwhile.  Other people's signatures should not be included in 
a reply.

2.  Similarly, if your mailer includes any of your headers at all in 
the file it gives your editor, they should be few and at the 
very top of the file.  Other people's headers need not be 
included in a reply.

3.  If part of the message you are quoting is not important enough 
for you to need to refer to it as you're composing your reply, 
it's not important enough to include in the reply.  Any part of 
a message that you would like to fold away should probably just 
be deleted from the message.

 I just updated the mail.vim syntax file to include syntax folding. It

 Does someone have comments? Issues are as follows:
 
 1. Someone who has fdm=syntax will start composing new mail with all
text folded away (his signature, header, and quoted text). I
presume this is useless. I avoid this by putting an autocommand
that sets fdc=3 and fdl=9 for mail files. But perhaps this should
be done by default in the ftplugin file, if the user has
fdm=syntax.
 
 2. Bram uses expression folding: I attach the snipped he sent to me
(off list). Perhaps this should go into the default ftplugin
file, and add documentation saying mail can be folded by
syntax/expression etc.
 
 3. Would be nice to have the important header fields unfolded. But
that would involve splitting the header into multiple regions,
which might or might not be desirable.

For similar reasons, I too thought syntax folding for mails was
pointless. But Christian Brabandt sent me a preliminary folding patch. I
accepted it, thinking that anyone who doesn't want folding needn't use
fdm=syntax, and won't see change.

However -- after using it a little I found it quite useful. However
having the regions marked as folds makes it easy for you to delete /
navigate (e.g. zk/zj zCdd, [z, ]z etc.). Further when I edit raw
messages, folding away long headers is quite useful.

That said -- if you don't think syntax folding is useful, don't use it,
and don't clutter my mailbox. If you have constructive suggestions (esp.
constructive suggestions with patches) let me know,

 Attached patch fixes it by calling mch_memmove() instead of memcpy().
 Looking at the code, I found another place where the same problem would
 also happen (also fixed in patch).

 Some versions of memcpy() can handle overlaps, but I suppose it's not
 guaranteed.  Thanks for another patch.


Configure is supposed to check whether one of the system provided 
string-move operations handle overlap. Here's what I see in the logs and 
files produced by configure on my system:

-- in configure stdout/stderr:

dst += len;
while (len--  0)

So I suppose mch_memmove should be used everywhere for moves of byte 
strings (overlapping or not), and it will be resolved by bcopy, memmove, 
memcpy or the owncoded function according to what configure has found.

Re: netrw - double quoted question mark

 Hello,

 I just found that URLs that contain question mark cannot be loaded
 with the latest netrw v134.

 For example
 :view http://www.vim.org/scripts/script_search_results.php?keywords=netrw
 shows an empty buffer, because the URL that is passed to wget contains '\?'.
 The problem seems to go away after applying the attached patch.
 I am not sure if this is a good solution, because there is an error
 message about temporary file, which could not be deleted.

 Perhaps it would be better to replace exe Nread in plugin/netrw.vim
 autocommands
 with a call to function - in such case the URL could be passed without quoting
 and without worries that it may execute some vim commands on the side.

 Cheers,

 Pavol

 in a query string should be passed as amp; or as %26 though many web 
pages don't use this, even though the W3C HTML guidelines require it.

I suppose that if netrw has problems with the question mark (maybe for 
internal reasons) it can always be passed as %3F (but of course not as 
%253F which would be double percent escaping and miss the goal).


Best regards,

Re: Vim syntax: highlight keyword not highlighted inside functions

 You get the same color highlighting inside and outside the function?
 For me the highlighting works inside functions for most statements,
 but not for the 'highlight' statement itself (see attached
 screenshot).

 Do you call the function?
 If you only define a function on foo.vim, this only will be defined. Try
 append a follow line in a foo.vim: call Foo()

 This doesn't make a difference. Actually, I'm not sure the syntax file
 checks that functions are called to highlight them.

Yeah, looks like the syntax/vim.vim script doesn't recognise the same 
syntax groups for some statements when they are inside a function. With 
the default GUI colours, here's what I see:

line
 wordisolated (= links to)  inside func (= links to)
highlight Comment guifg=white guibg=black
 highlight   vimHighlight = Statement   vimIsCommand
 Comment vimHiGroup = Type  vimIsCommand
 guifg   vimHiGuiFgBg = TypevimIsCommand
 =   vimHiKeyListvimOper = Statement
 white   vimHiGroup = Type  vimIsCommand
 guibg   vimHiGuiFgBg = TypevimIsCommand
 =   vimHiKeyListvimOper = Statement
 black   vimHiGroup = Type  vimIsCommand
syn sync fromstart
 syn vimSyntax = Statement  vimIsCommand
 syncvimSynType = Type  vimIsCommand
 fromstart   vimSyncC = TypevimIsCommand
filetype plugin indent on
 filetypevimFTCmd = Statement   vimCommand = Statement
 plugin  vimFTOption = Type vimIsCommand
 indent  vimFTOption = Type vimIsCommand
 on  vimFTOption = Type vimCommand = Statement

The other ones that I tried were highlighted identically inside 
functions and out of them.

I found this out by means of the following command (which gives four 
replies but 1 and 3 are equal, and so are 2 and 4, AFAICT):

command -nargs=0 -bar WhatSyntax echomsg 
synIDattr(synID(line(.),col(.),0),name) 
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line(.),col(.),0)),name) 
synIDattr(synID(line(.),col(.),1),name) 
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line(.),col(.),1)),name)


Notice the many instances of various syntax groups becoming vimIsCommand 
(which has no highlights defined) when inside a function block.

Maybe contains=TOP should be added to the definition of the vimFuncBody 
syntax group? Dr.Chip, what do you think?


Best regards,
Tony.

You're right up til this point, but mch_memmove() should only be used
where the bytes are overlapping, since it's so much less efficient
than just a normal memcpy() and that loss is only justified when its
extra feature is being used.  memmove() should never be used in the
vim sources.

 produces `E492: Not an editor command'.  It there an error

 v:oldfiles - i.e. no such thing.


I can't find when that command and variables were added; however they 
don't exist in tiny or small builds if Vim, which don't include the 
expression-evaluation feature. This (or the equivalent) is the important 
line in the output of the :version command:

Huge version with GTK2-GNOME GUI.  Features included (+) or not (-):

If the first word here is Tiny or Small you don't need to look 
further -- in that case your Vim version hasn't got what it takes to use 
the :oldfiles command or the v:oldfiles variable.

OTOH if your Vim version is too old it might not jibe with the latest 
runtimes anymore. In that case here are the relevant :version lines:

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Nov  7 2008 03:49:22)

If the second line is not present it means No patches included. The 
above (7.2.30) is the latest version as of this version, AFAIK.
