Re: BUG: terminal vim 9.0.1506 x64 window 10
It's true. I use TCCLE (free version of Take Command) as a command-line shell on my Windows machine. In an April round of updates, Windows 11 shifted to opening TCCLE as a tab in a MS Terminal window rather than independently as in the past. Fortunately, with a published hack I change Windows 11 back to the previous behavior. Windows Terminal was there before the updates, but Windows didn't try as aggressively to have us use it. Maybe you are thinking of the Bash shell in Windows, part of the Windows Subsystem for Linux? I don't use it myself; but, if I'm not mistaken, you have to change some settings to activate WSL. Googling for "bash shell" "Windows 11" turns up many useful-looking pages. This one seems straightforward: <https://mspoweruser.com/different-ways-to-run-shell-script-files-on-windows/> Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com On 2023-06-21 10:16, Christian Brabandt wrote: > > >> Am 21.06.2023 um 18:13 schrieb Enan Ajmain <3nan.ajm...@gmail.com>: >> >> On Wed, 21 Jun 2023 13:41:03 +0100 >> Bram Moolenaar wrote: >>> Can we assume that MS Terminal is included with the distribution, or >>> installed most widely?

On my Windows 10 Pro system, my boot partition "C:" had SFNs and LFNs, but the new partitions I created on the same physical drive had LFNs only. I don't know if it would have been the same on Windows 10 Home, or on Windows 11 Home and Pro.

Mike, I saw someone answered this, but maybe their answer didn't reach you?
Short version: Windows is doing what it's supposed to, and so is Vim.
The original MS-DOS and MS-Windows file system, in the 1980s, allowed up
to 8 characters, and then optionally a dot (period, full stop) plus up
to 3 characters. Even if the file was created with lower-case characters
in its name, Windows would change those characters to upper case. We can
call these "8.3 filenames" for short.
Around the turn of the millennium (in Windows XP, if I recall
correctly), Windows added so-called long filenames (LFNs), which could
be longer than 8.3 and could contain lower-case.
Rather than start with a completely new file system (which would then
make floppy disks and other interchangeable media unreadable on the
previous generation of computers, Microsoft gave any filename that
exceeded 8.3 _two_ entries in the directory: one for the actual
filename, and one for an 8.3 "short filename" (SFN). If the new file's
name fit within 8.3, then it would get only that one entry, an SFN, in
the directory. Thus _every_ file had an SFN, but not every file had an
LFN. The graphical interface (called File Explorer, Windows Explorer, or
Explorer) would show an LFN if one existed, otherwise the SFN.
Some time after that, I'm not sure when but certainly by the release of
Windows 10, it became possible to disable SFNs for any particular disk
partition. And sometime after that, "LFNs only" became the default. But
your disk is obviously set to create SFNs from longer filenames.
Your test.a, test.ab, and test.abc all fit in the 8.3 paradigm, and
therefore they have only SFNs. Your test.abcd exceeds 8.3, so when you
created it Windows set up an SFN for it. How is the SFN formed? Windows
ignores any characters beyond the 6.3 limits (6.3, not 8.3), and for the
7th and 8th characters before the dot it adds ~1. Therefore your
test.abcd has two names, test.abcd and test~1.abc (probably ~1, but it
might be ~ and some other number). test.abcde is probably test~2.abc.
When you glob *.abc, the SFN name test~1.abc is caught in that net. But
since Windows prefers to show an LFN when one exists, you see them as
test.abcd and test.abcde.
None of the SFN/LFN business exists on Linux, and since glob() is a
Linux thing in origin it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that it doesn't
handle this.
If you really need to have more than three characters after the dot in
filenames, then the simplest thing would be for you to create a wrapper
function that calls glob and then in its return filters out anything
that doesn't match the input expression.

I wonder if this is a hardware problem. Do control keys still work normally in other programs?

I don't know of any way within the g command. However, what I do after a

The short answer is go to the top of the paragraph and press Shift+V,
then to the bottom and press Shift+J (not Ctrl+J). You can automate this
further by writing a function that would figure out the top and bottom
of the paragraph via whatever logic you build in. See :help :function.

Example, for N = 4:
:imap
Type the actual < and > characters as shown. To use this, at the end of
typing your paragraph do not press Esc but press F9 (or whatever key you
mapped).
If you sometimes want to insert N blank lines in already-written text,
add this:
:map A
The previous map was active in insert mode; this one is active in normal
mode. It moves to the end of the current line ("A") in insert mode and
then appends the insert-mode version of F9.
Once you've verified that these work as you wish, you can put them in
your $VIM/_vimrc file so that they will be executed whenever you start Vim.

`` or ''
(One goes back to the _line_) where you were; the other goes back to the
exact position within the line.)

Spell check: ignoring soft hyphens
Apologies if this is a basic question, but I've read the documentation on spelling multiple times and must be missing the answer. Ive also checked the FAQ and the group archives. GVim 7.4, running in Windows 7 and 8. I use only 8-bit characters, in Windows-1252 encoding (set enc=latin1 in Vim). My question: I frequently use the soft hyphen (character 173, or 255 in octal) in HTML documents. How can I tell Vim to ignore these characters for purposes of spell check? For example, I want Vim to consider "pur<173>pose" as a good word because "purpose" is a good word. I don't expect Vim to know what is correct syllabication, just to ignore any soft hyphen when it's deciding whether a word is spelled correctly. Currently I handle this by putting "pur<173>pose" in my word list file, but obviously I don't want to do that with every possible hyphenation of every possible good word. -- Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://BrownMath.com https://OakRoadSystems.com -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
