[vile] Quoted motion: (un)bounding of rectangular changes

Problem: given the following buffer: abc def ghi jkl mno pqr stu vwx yz_ I'd like to replace the first column with the string 'replacement' using a rectangular sweep. First attempt (see PS for more info): c3qGehq which yields: rep def ghi rep mno pqr rep vwx yz_ i.e.,

[vile] Tips for improving UTF-8 display?

Morning all, I've recently been editing files containing less common unicode characters, e.g. ---8<--- «␤» «␤» «⚾︎␤» ---8<--- Unfortunately, these don't display too well in Vile (with either ncurses or ncursesw): see https://imgur.com/a/qLGfc for a comparison of Vile (9.8t, latest from Tom's

It looks like :show-marks (or :marks, :list-marks) erroneously displays '(none)' for buffers that have one or more marks. To reproduce: $ echo "one\ntwo\nthree" | vile and mark the first line (e.g.: with `ma', which displays `[Mark 'a' set]' as expected). Now try :marks. I haven't

Hi all, [I forget whether this has been discussed before; a preliminary search on https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/vile/ suggests not:] One nice nvi feature that I miss in vile is the `iclower' setting: iclower [off] The iclower edit option makes all Regular Expressions

Re: Inserting text of arbitrary length before rectangular region

I'd go the traditional vi route, :.,/Tom/s/^/Name of applicant: Or if the range wasn't so straightforwardly expressible, you could mark the first and last lines first (e.g. ma, mb), then :'a,'b/^/Name of applicant: /M On Thu, Mar 5, 2020 at 8:23 AM Paul Fox wrote: > > gerard wrote: >

Python filter: incomplete triple-quoted string support

The current filter (py-filt.l) only supports triple-quoted strings formed with double quotes; single quote multi-line literals are incorrectly highlighted, e.g. ''' 'foo' bar ''' Naive patch: declare QUOTE4, duplicate and adapt the existing QUOTE3 block: %s NORMAL QUOTE1

Crash with unmatched patterns

Hitting n or N after searching for an unmatched pattern with / or ? crashes vile. To reproduce: /\( Vile reports [Bad pattern: unmatched () ] which is all well and good. Then hit n to attempt searching again (for the bad pattern); this should reproduce the crash. The same applies if
