Re: How do I open a file from the Terminal into MacVim's current window?
I have set the MacVim preference Open files from applications to in the current window and set the arglist. This give the behaviour I want when double-clicking in the Finder -- but doesn't for the Terminal. Aha: making use of the above, I can get the result I want. In the Terminal: $ open mvim://open?url=file:///path/to/file And this respects the MacVim preference. If there's a more direct way I'd like to hear it...but for now this will do.

Re: Interacting with a Ruby program

Re: How do I open a file from the Terminal into MacVim's current window?
On 26 Mar 2010, at 16:08, björn wrote: MacVim works like this: each window runs its own Vim process. Opening a file from Finder results in the MacVim app getting a request to open a file (mvim:// handler requests also end up here). At this point MacVim will look at your preferences and respect those. When opening a file from Terminal (with mvim) you are actually starting a new Vim process manually and this process connects to the MacVim app which responds by opening up a new window. This is why mvim always opens a new window. (Maybe this is too much information, but there you go.) On the contrary, it's good to know exactly how this all works.

Re: Plugin/addon managers

Back when I was just getting started with Vim a couple months or so ago I had a brief flirtation with Pathogen. Thought I would get set up with a system for managing plugins before beginning to acquire them. However, Pathogen seemed to be creating problems in getting VimOutliner running, I was encouraged to abandon it, and I did. Now I'm wondering if maybe its time to give a plugin manager a try again. Again, I have brief experience with Pathogen. I've bookmarked the Vim pages for vim-addon-manager and Vundle. I'd appreciate any feedback or guidance on these or other plugin managers I may have overlooked. Any insights will be welcome, of course, but I'd be especially interested in comments of people who have experience with more than one of these or other plugins. I tried VimBalls a while ago but grew frustrated at the work that needs doing when a script/plugin isn't already packaged as a VimBall. I switched to Pathogen and it has always worked wonderfully. If a conflict with VimOutliner is the only thing holding you back, I'd file bug reports with the authors of VimOutliner and Pathogen and hope it'll be resolved soon. With Pathogen it doesn't matter how other scripts/plugins are distributed. You just copy their root directory into your bundle directory, where they are cleanly separated, and Pathogen takes cares of loading them up. This contrasts with some other plugin managers where each plugins' files are mingled together in Vim's various directories. Finally, if you are familiar with a version control system, I'd suggest version-controlling your home Vim directory regardless of what system you use to wrangle plugins. Then, if you install or change something and suffer problems, it's easy with your version control system to revert the change you made.

$ git fetch
## A
method 1 (this method squashes all the individual commits together)
$ git diff HEAD...b4winckler-vim/master a.diff
$ git apply --reject a.diff
mostly applies but a few rejects (mostly perl stuff - see 7.4.409)
$ find . -name '*.rej' -print
./runtime/doc/tags.rej
./src/auto/configure.rej
./src/config.mk.in.rej
./src/configure.in.rej
./src/Makefile.rej
./src/option.c.rej
./src/structs.h.rej
fix up by hand, remove the *.rej files, then generate a new clean diff
$ git add -A
$ git diff --staged a-clean.diff
$ git commit -m Patchlevel 430
method 2 (probably better)
$ git merge b4winckler-vim/master
a few merge conflicts (mostly perl stuff)
for each conflicted file:
fix conflict
git add the fixed file
when all conflicts fixed, finish merge with
$ git commit
generate patch with
$ git diff HEAD^ a-clean.diff
## B
method 1 (this method squashes all the individual commits together)
$ git diff b4winckler-vim/master...airblade-vim/master b.diff
$ git apply --reject b.diff
mostly applies but a few rejects
$ find . -name '*.rej' -print
./runtime/doc/tags.rej
./src/ex_cmds.h.rej
./src/if_ruby.c.rej
./src/misc2.c.rej
./src/vim.h.rej
fix up by hand, remove the *.rej files, then generate a new clean diff
$ git add -A
$ git diff --staged b-clean.diff
$ git commit -m Patchlevel 542
method 2 (probably better)
[i can't figure out how to make this work without losing all the
macvim-specific stuff]
$ git co -b foo b4winckler-vim/master
$ git merge airblade-vim/master
leads to 150 add-add merge conflicts...i don't understand why
## Upload {a,b}-clean.diff somewhere and `brew edit macvim` adding
head do
patch do
url 'file:///Users/andy/code/buildingvim/a-clean.diff'
sha1 '2086b634bb7a2d3c5a079830e66d50184a1c7eb3'
end
patch do
url 'file:///Users/andy/code/buildingvim/b-clean.diff'
sha1 '8c696f81903ed910db637fd30a25dea00b95438f'
end
end
i also had to remove `--enable-perlinterp` from compile args around line 55
presumably i messed up the perl stuff when cleaning the rejected patches
## voila
$ brew uninstall macvim
$ brew intall macvim --custom-icons --HEAD
$ brew linkapps
## When vim is updated
we could do B all over again but it takes a while to fix the rejected patches
(either automate this or) better to diff B and let's call it C
$ cd /path/to/vim-clone
$ git pull
$ git push github master
[erm]
$ git diff e62677eac c.diff
$ cd /path/to/macvim-clone
$ git apply --reject /path/to/c.diff
etc
8
I'd like to hear of better ways to do this! Or even see MacVim merged into
main Vim as someone else suggested.
Yours,

Re: Grep search replace escaping question
> But it is looking more complicate your "magic"! Two escapes more! As far as I know the idea is that "very magic" is typical regex syntax, whereas "magic" is something invented for Vim so that patterns which match code require less escaping. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.

Just replace the \w with [^}]
So with default "magic":
{\([^}]\+\)}
With "very magic":
\{([^}]+)\}

Yes, you can find it by typing `:help magic`. "magic" is a setting which tells
Vim which characters have special meaning in a regex.
One way to figure out the pattern is by trying to search for it (by typing
`/pattern`) because it uses the same regex rules.

This should work:
%s@\\textcolor{LRed}{\(\w\+\)}@\1@g
Or this, which specifies a "very magic" pattern:
%s@\v\\textcolor\{LRed\}\{(\w+)\}@\1@g
