It's probably better to get in the habit of using :redo than the period to undo an undo, since :redo (or :red for not-very-short) can advance through several levels of undos, but the period can only repeat one single thing over and over again. If you're six levels back in undos, and you want to undo all six levels, but you use the period once, I think that'd wipe out all those levels of undo so they aren't recoverable. I haven't directly tested that recently, but that's how I recall it working back when I first learned about multiple undo/redo levels for Vim, lo these many moons ago when the world was young and dinosaurs roamed the Earth. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth H.

If you're moving to a separate terminal to test, that sounds like
another keystroke or mouse-movement. You could set up vi/vim to
autosave on suspension, then use one function key to suspend back to
your shell prompt, run your test, and use a shell alias to get back
to your edit session.
VIM settings:
set autowrite
imap #5 :suspend
Shell aliases (works for bash/zsh, syntax for tcsh is different):
alias 1='%1'
alias 2='%2'
alias 3='%3'
alias 4='%4'
alias 5='%5'
alias 6='%6'
alias 7='%7'
alias 8='%8'
alias 9='%9'
This way, you can restart a suspended job without having to type a dopey
percent sign first. Here are some other VIM mappings I've found useful.
I hate using the shift key unless it's essential, so to indent/deindent:
map ; >>
map = <<
It's easier for me to see context when the cursor is around the middle
of the screen:
map q z.
Sometimes I like a column ruler just for a second or two. Press 'E' to
see it, then 'u':
map E
oi+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+
I like my paragraphs ragged-right, around 75 columns long. This lets me
reformat whatever paragraph I'm in by pressing 'v':
map v }jmbk{ma}:'a,.!fmt -1^V|fmt -75'b
The "^V" is an actual control character, so you have to hit Ctrl-V twice
to put it in your .vimrc file. My .vimrc file is here:

Network interface dc0 fails to negotiate media type
I have installed FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE i386 on a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo T P 340 0 1,0G PC (mainboard name D1826-G). $ uname -a FreeBSD dhcppc0.thorup 7.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May 1 08:49:13 UTC 2009 r...@walker.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 $ I will mention that I have csup'ed and updated my ports the 31.th May. Some time after that the network (interface dc0) suddenly stopped working. First I saw it was not possible to get an IP address from my router. I thought initially that it was the network cable or router, that caused the problem but the PC can still boot up with Win XP without any network connectivity problems. I can see that there must be problems with the negotiation of media type and options from: $ ifconfig -m dc0 dc0: flags=8847 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8 capabilities=8 ether 00:30:05:d4:25:c7 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: active supported media: media autoselect media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex media none $ The strange thing is that the normal selection "media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" (before this error) are not on the list of supported meadia. When I boot up in Win XP, the negotiation ends up with 100baseTX / full-duplex. If I try to configure "sudo ifconfig dc0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex", I receive the answer "ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured". If I try to configure "sudo ifconfig dc0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex", the command changes the settings. I have been studying the FreeBSD man pages, reading the Handbook, searching the mailing lists and searching the internet without finding something that did could help me.

Bootable GPT USB device
Hello,
I'm trying to create a bootable USB drive using the new GEOM_PART_
partitioning technology. Following gpart(8), I've done this...
gpart create -s GPT da0
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr da0
gpart add -b 34 -s 128 -t freebsd-boot da0
gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0
gpart add -b 162 -s 2097152 -t freebsd-ufs da0
gpart add -b 2097314 -s 8388608 -t freebsd-swap da0
gpart add -b 10485922 -s 2097152 -t freebsd-ufs da0
gpart add -b 12583074 -s 8388608 -t freebsd-ufs da0
gpart add -b 20971682 -s 135329773 -t freebsd-ufs da0

I've tried this on two systems now, 7.1-RELEASE i386 and 7.2-STABLE
amd64. In each case, I cannot boot from the newly create USB drive.
I know each machine is capable of USB boot as I have a 4GB thumbdrive
created with the traditional bsdlabel partitioning tools. Each box
boots nicely off that USB disk.
So, question is, what am I doing wrong? And, how can use the new disk
partitioning GEOM class to create a bootable, external, USB drive?
Many thanks in advance.

I have openoffice3.0 also built and working ok with spell checking but for some reason the writing aids edit button remains greyed out on OOo-3.1.0 The DicOOo.sxw macro appears to work (security set to low for macros) and runs through without errors but on restart there is no change in the writing aids box.

Rebuilding all dependents when upgrading from mysql50 to mysql51 is absolutely
required. mysql50-client installs ${LOCALBASE}/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15
whereas mysql51-client installs ${LOCALBASE}/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16
-- note the changed ABI version number. Unless you use portupgrade(1)
or save a copy of the old shlib by other means, anything that linked against
libmysqlclient would be rendered inoperable by the change, and must at least be
re-linked. Yes, the APIs have not changed, but APIs are a matter for
programmers
at the time of writing the source code -- once compiled, it's the ABI that
counts.

"make deinstall" is a good way to remove a program, but it ignores
dependencies as you discovered. Some other program on your system requires
mysql50-client to function and might now be broken.
pkg_delete -f does basically the same. pkg_deinstall (which comes with
portupgrade) also does the trick.
Before doing a "make deinstall" you can check which installed packages require
it by:
pkg_info -Rx mysql-client
If you want to upgrade mysql-client from 5.0 to 5.1, use portupgrade:
portupgrade -rf -o databases/mysql51-client mysql-client
This will replace mysql50-client with mysql51-client and reinstall all ports
depending on mysql50-client ("-rf"), so they will use the new version. In this
case the last step probably isn't necessary because the libraries are (mostly
I think) compatible, but in general it is recommended.
For more information, see "man ports" and "man portupgrade".

Re: Terminal / vim / shortcuts
I edit python code in vim using Terminal on xfce. I find myself, not surprisingly, having to exit "insert mode" and save changes frequently (when making code changes and wishing to test the immediate effects of the changes in a separate terminal). This requires pressing 4 keys: "esc", ":", "w", and "enter". How can I configure a shortcut (ideally using an F# key) that will perform this sequence of 4 key-presses? This would rather be a question for the Vim mailing list. imap :wsleep 1gi The purpose of the sleep is that you see the "written" message. It may be off topic, but also very cool!

sound disappeared when transition from linux_base-fc4 to linux_base-fc6
Hello,all!
The problem is as follows.
A couple of days ago I did transition from linux_base-fc4 (default
linux support module) to linux_base-fc6. The purpose was to install
skype, which rquires at least linux_base-fc6 support. Along with this
I completely reinstalled ("pkg_delete" then
"make install clean" from week-ago portsnapped ports tree) all the
dependent ports, including
linux-flashplugin-9.0r159 and nspluginwrapper.
The rusult is: skype works OK,
but sound completely disappeared when when watchin videos from, say, youtube.
Sound system itself works OK, as well as skype, too :-))
Could anyone give me a hint or readdress me to the right mailing list?
