Re: Gvim message on XDG textedit URL link
Reviving this after some time, this still happens with textedit calls to gvim 9.0. Setting the cmdheight no longer works.

The main problem is that on the server this is received as a command and put in the input buffer, after which it is executed almost as typed. Instead of building the command on the client, which can end up being a bit long, we could send the minimal information to the server and expand it into the right commands there.

Interesting, that the :norm4 works, because there is no pipe after it. But it looks like Vim builds up the whole string dynamically and adds an '|' at the end automatically. However, I think this silently breaks, because the ":norm" sees everything after it as belonging to it, so in this case the '|' does not really end the user specified command and therefore you see this message. I messed around briefly, trying to wrap everything into an :exe expression (or using :call cursor), but at least, this did not seem to work on my windows environment. A possible work-around would be to it build the whole command yourself by using, e.g. --remote-send ":e +3|norm4| .bashrc" or: --remote-send ":e .bashrc|:e|norm4|" I wonder if this would work better with the following patch, by wrapping everything into an :exe call. diff --git a/src/clientserver.c b/src/clientserver.c index bb2108d7d..c4489c953 100644 --- a/src/clientserver.c +++ b/src/clientserver.c @@ -654,8 +654,9 @@ build_drop_cmd( // Can't use after "inicmd", because a "startinsert" would cause // the following commands to be inserted as text.

Re: Gvim message on XDG textedit URL link
Sorry, this is all too hard it would seem. To explain in it in detail you would have to read how to use point and click with PDFs made by Lilypond. The program gvim is producing unwanted messages when invoked with a remote call and produces a needless pres ENTER, when all one wants is for the remote call to go to the line and column. If there is any interest still, here is an example call: gvim --remote "+3:norm4" test.ly Apologies if I left this out. I thought people would be familiar with textedit URLs and how to use them. I suppose that sort of call is not obvious after all. On 7/09/2022 5:53 pm, Christian Brabandt wrote: On Mi, 07 Sep 2022, Andrew Bernard wrote: Can you see the image attachment in my post?

Re: Gvim message on XDG textedit URL link
Perhaps I was not clear. The string 'textedit' has nothing to do with gvim internals or scripts or plugins. It's the URL used by the xdg-open process when running gvim in server mode, so that the file is opened on a given line and column. The textedit string is embedded in the PDFs as a way of linking objects in the PDF to the source code line for them. It's got nothing to do with any plugins. It's a standard and common technique with PDF files. Gvim works fine in servermode, and the file is opened at the right place. It very inconvenient to see this long message for no good reason - it's not an error, it's not useful information, and to have to press ENTER each time, when you are going back and forth between a music score and its note objects and the Lilypond source code hundreds of times. I can't see any reason for this behaviour from gvim, and it actually makes it pretty much unusable for this use case. If you set up a handler for the MIME type x-scheme-handler/textedit then xdg-open textedit:///home/acb/work/test.ly:4:2:3 will open the file test.ly in the editor you have set for handling text documents on your system and go to the location. In the same way that clicking a URL in a PDF opens your browser on the page. I'm not reporting an error, but a usability issue, bad enough to make me have to switch to alternative editor for the task. This used to work int he past where you could set cmdheight to 2, but that no longer suppresses the message ion version 9.0. Andrew -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
