These are the 'runtimepath' default. On Unix-like OSes, $VIM is usually /usr/local/share/vim but it may vary a little from one installation to the next; one factor may be whether you compiled Vim yourself or got it from the same source as your OS. One way to have it both ways if you don't need _different_ scripts in $GOROOT/misc/vim and $HOME/.vim is to symlink the latter to the former on installations where $GOROOT is defined.

Speeding up cold startup
Hi, Are there any tricks I can use to speed up Macvim's cold startup? It takes maybe a second to load on my machine, when it's called via the mvim executable. The last post I could find about speeding up about Macvim was from 2008 - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/vim_mac/bEC5e4BLb-4/nkMIsfsRygUJ... has any progress been made since then, or are there any outstanding areas that could be sped up?

Macvim slow with set list and Unicode listchars
Hi, I've been investigating a problem with Unicode listchars. My .vimrc looks like: show line endings set list set listchars=tab:▸\ ,eol:¬ When I open a file containing many tab characters, Macvim is extremely slow to scroll - holding down j yields a key repeat rate of about once per second. If I turn off list: set nolist Or, use a different tab listchar: set listchars=tab:+\ ,eol Scrolling suddenly becomes very fast.

MacVim hanging on open file in new tab
I haven't been able to reproduce this consistently, but I get a behavior where opening a file in a new tab in MacVim fails. I started seeing this error maybe beginning about a week ago. Generally it happens after a terminal has been open for a while and I open a new tab, then try to load a file in the buffer with `:e`. The screen becomes unresponsive and does not respond to key commands. There is nothing on the screen when this happens. I can still open/ close the Macvim menus. Trying to close the window via the menu does nothing; I have to quit the app and restart. Here is a stack trace of the last 15 seconds or so before the hang: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/568246/ After the freeze the logging to terminal just stopped and the terminal prompt appeared again. Here are some possible culprits, ordered by how likely I think they are: - 3rd party plugins, including syntastic and rainbow highlights. - my .vimrc file. I tried putting echo's in to see if it was failing mid-load, but the .vimrc file loads fine. Also, the freeze only happens when I load the 3rd or 4th file into a buffer, and the vimrc doesn't look like it's running again. - using zsh. I'm not sure what about zsh would cause the freeze but it's possible. - editing files across a symbolic link - downloading Snow Leopard updates - currently running 10.6.8 with version 53 of MacVim. -- You received this message from the vim_mac maillist.

Re: Tab character ▸ leads to inconsistent line height
That fixed the problem. Thanks!

See this screenshot for example: https://skitch.com/kburke/gmdwa/docsquickstarttutorialcontroller.php-... If you look closely you can see an extra space between the 1 and 0, and the 4 and 5 are squished too close together. This height problem persists for the whole line. Unsetting that option fixes the line spacing, but apparently only because dollar sign characters and ^I characters have the same height: https://skitch.com/kburke/gmdw5/router.php-projects-twilio-src-php-cs... What is actually going on in this case? Is there an easy fix to this problem? Try opening the advanced preferences and toggle the option for use experimental renderer. I'm guessing the problems go away if you enable the experimental renderer? (It is also much faster than the default renderer.) Björn -- You received this message from the vim_mac maillist.
