feature request: v:mousecol and v:mouseline
When maps for mouse clicks are executed, can we have the location (in the form of line and column number) made available through v: variables? I just observed that getchar() works even with mouse clicks, but this is almost useless without knowing where the user clicked. Capturing mouse clicks along with expr maps or getchar() can do wonders if the mouse click position is also available. -- Thank you, Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

The mouse position is already available from within a 'balloonexpr' expression, but I can't find it for the general case. Maybe an additional parameter value for the line() and col() functions? Let's say col(m) and line(m)? Perhaps also some way to find out over which window the mouse is hovering or has just clicked? Best regards, Tony.
completion marks buffer modified too soon
When using |completion-function|, Vim is marking the buffer as modified, as soon as the popup is triggered. When a plugin offers matches using 'completefunc' the user should be able to cancel by pressing C-E and this shouldn't leave the buffer as modified. Here is a sample function to show what I mean: function! TComplete(findstart, base) if a:findstart return 0 else return [a:base]+['test1', 'test2'] endif endfunction setl completefunc=TComplete Thinking about it, it might be that Vim automatically chooses the first item in the completion, but this provides no option to leave buffer as not modified when completion is cancelled without selecting an item. I even tried explicitly setting nomodified (though it is ugly), something like: inoremap C-XC-U C-XC-UC-R=ResetModified() function! ResetModified() setl nomodified return '' endfunction But Vim seems to ignore this, as the buffer is still modified at the end. -- Thanks, Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Ah, thanks for explaining that. I knew that making that replacement solved the problem but didn't know why. I had used a shell script to fix the problem. Since I don't know how to do a multi-line replace is SED, I used console Vim as a super SED! The one-liner is simply: vim -u NONE -i NONE -Nnes +%%s/tabnew\nedit/tabedit/|wq %1 where '%1' is the placeholder for the sessionfile and '%%s' is needed in 4nt because '%s' would be thought of as an environment variable.

It's not that easy, since the click could be in any of the windows. I

v:mouse_line
The position could be in screen columns and lines, or in text column and

For most purposes the window and text position is all that matters, but
there can be some interesting possibilities if clicks outside any buffer
(such as at the command-line the way inputlist() works) can also be
made available (using something like v:mouse_region that can have
window, tab, cmdline).
Also want to propose that these v: variables should be settable by the
scripts in case the RHS of a map is a Mouse key. E.g., the following
should work (note: it is just indented to show the usage, not
particularly a useful example):
Make F12 always RightMouse at the center of the current window.
imap expr F12 CenterRightMouse()
function! CenterRightMouse()
let v:mouse_window = winnr()
let v:mouse_line = winheight('.')/2
let v:mouse_col = winwidth('.')/2

What are you doing? If I use this test file:

vim: set tw=10 fo=tcq2:
this line has a blank line after it.
Now for a long line with no blank line after it.
= end testfile =
And open with:
gvim -u NONE -i NONE -N testfile
I can format the paragraphs with, for example, 'gqq' or
'gq}' or '{visual}gq' without a problem.
Since there is no 'gq option', I'm assuming you're using the
normal command gq followed by a q, a motion or proceeded by
a visual selection.

How to use vim as sed?

I'm wondering if there is any automatic way (say, from command line or shell script) to process these files. From the command line, you could use something like the following to replace all occurrences of 'foo' with 'bar' in the current directory files named *.fb: For speed, using a standard startup, not in vi mode, in ex batch mode with undo off and no swap files: vim -u NONE -i NONE -Nnes +se ul=-1 +argdo %s/foo/bar/ge|up +q *.fb To use regular settings: vim -nes +se ul=-1 +argdo %s/foo/bar/ge|up +q *.fb I've written these so everything in the second pair of quotes is the variable part where you substitute the action you want (as is the file selection part) - easy to turn into a shell script. BTW, if your shell is 4nt, replace %s with %%s - so that %s isn't treated as a variable. This is a good practice for CMD users also, even though not necessary for this example. -- Best regards, Bill

At this point, I think I'm 'hooked', but I am somewhat troubled by how difficult it is to appreciate what Vim offers. About five years ago, I tried Vim and gave up, couldn't see the benefit and it sure seemed confusing with many options and settings. All detail; no structure was my reaction, and I didn't then have the time to invest in it. When I tried it this time I had the same initial reaction, but persevered and started to see some of the neat, efficient things it can do. What seems to me to be lacking is a fairly 'simple' set of concepts or examples that would have helped me understand what Vim offers. Not so simple that Vim appears to be 'just an other text editor' and not so complex or long that it seems like an overwhelming bucket of keystrokes. Given the flexibility of Vim, a longish document would be needed to describes its many features with examples, but that may not be the answer. If we want to make Vim enticing, I think brevity would be a virtue. Since a good sense of who the audience for a document is always important, possibly a series of shorter pieces focused on various activities: c coding, xml coding, scripting, network connections, etc. The list of titles/section headings in itself could give an idea of the scope and flexibility Vim provides. The current FAQ material might provide a good starting point, and it might be worth considering different packaging; for instance in a wiki format. Just my 2 cents worth. Hal

time to let you know about it.
I just posted a preliminary version of plaintex support at
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1685
Please try it out. If I get any feedback (from you or others) then I am
more likely to improve it.
A. I chose C-B for \bf and C-T for \it . (Why not C-I? Because
vim sees that as a Tab, and I do not want to remap that.) In Insert
mode, you get {\bf }++ or {\it \/}++, with the cursor inside the
braces, and C-J will jump to the ++ marker. In Visual mode, you get
the Visual selection wrapped in {\bf and } or {\it and \/}.
In Normal mode, the word under the cursor is wrapped.
If you have similar requests, they are easy to add.
B. Next version. This is not too hard to do. What viewer do you use?
xdvi maybe?
C. I map (in Insert mode) to produce either `` or '' (or if it is
after a \ or in Math mode). Do you also want something, maybe C-Q, to
act like C-B, so that it will work in Normal, Visual, and Insert
modes?
I have not tried it, but there is already a script that translates
various non-ASCII characters into TeX commands. I think it does the
translation when reading and writing the file. Unfortunately,
www.vim.org is not responding right now, so I cannot give you a pointer.

IMHO, the way to configure it is not by hacking Vim but (at
least in console Vim) by having a properly-built

which keys.
IIRC, only user can tell what will Meta+Key send and it has
nothing to do with term*. I'm talking about convert-meta
(inputrc) and eightBitInput (xterm).
but no program can discriminate between different keypresses
which your keyboard driver translates to the same keycode (or
keycode sequence).
Vim assumes that Meta+Key always generates (Key | 0x80). Code:
/*
* Try to include modifiers in the key.
* Changes Shift-a to 'A', Alt-A to 0xc0, etc.
*/
int
extract_modifiers(key, modp)

Add extra condition, '8bitmeta' option checking (which is on by
default) for example. However, this will not solve all problems,
I will look further.
P.S. Why am I doing all this? latexsuite plugin imaps M-x keys
and this generates problems in ru_RU.KOI8-R locale (8bit). This
can't be fixed without hacking into latexsuite code and this bug
happend only if (x | 0x80) means something in current locale.
One workaround is to switch to UTF-8 locale.

I recommend something similar be done for VIM. Today, we have toHTML, that's reasonable, but ideally we'd able to yank as HTML. I've created a patch that can yank HTML to the clipboard as type HTML. I don't think this patch should be submitted, instead used by the person considering this feature request. Ideally this patch will be extended to allow the user to decide to : a) yank text , convert it to HTML, and have show up as type HTML. b) yank HTML, and have it have it show up as type HTML c) yank text, and have it show up as HTML My patch only implements 'b' Thoughts? Your patch appears to mostly change indent... With a simple script you can invoke 2html.vim on highlighted text and yank the result into the clipboard.

IMHO, the way to configure it is not by hacking Vim but (at
least in console Vim) by having a properly-built
termcap/terminfo which tells Vim which codes correspond to
which keys.
IIRC, only user can tell what will Meta+Key send and it has
nothing to do with term*. I'm talking about convert-meta
(inputrc) and eightBitInput (xterm).
As you told me recently, you don't know what you're talking about. Most
nontechnical users don't know (and don't care) what binary keycodes their
keyboard interface is sending to their program when they hit which key
combination. Only the programmers of the keyboard interface (and the admins
who write keyboard-interface configuration files) can decide which keycodes
correspond to which keypresses, and it takes quite some technical expertise to
find out with certainty what key combinations are sent by which keypresses on
which systems for all possible combinations of modifier and other keys. It
might be relatively straightforward (if not necessarily easy) for programs
running only on Windows or only on X11 but Vim has to cater for not only
Windows, X11 and Carbon but also tens of different text consoles and console
emulators. Vim relies on such things as the termcap/terminfo libraries (both
builtin and disk-resident) and the $TERM environment variable to tell it what
terminal it is running on, which influences how it will interpret the keycodes
sent to it by the keyboard interface. If the termcap is broken or $TERM set to
a wrong value (both of which happen more often than you might think), Vim will
misunderstand what the keyboard sends.
but no program can discriminate between different keypresses
which your keyboard driver translates to the same keycode (or
keycode sequence).
Vim assumes that Meta+Key always generates (Key | 0x80). Code:
[snip]
What I'm saying, is that, if my (fr_BE) keyboard interface is sending the same
keycode when I hit é (SMALL LATIN LETTER E WITH ACUTE ACCENT) and when I hit
Alt-i (SMALL LATIN LETTER I with the Alt modifier), then Vim won't be able to
see the difference between é and Alt-i, and in that case, if I use imap M-i
{rhs} I'll get that {rhs} instead of an e-acute whenever I hit é in Insert
mode. With such a keyboard interface I should avoid mapping Alt-keys in Insert
mode if I want to be able to type French text: IOW, with that kind of keyboard
interface, é and Alt-i are, как говорят Французы, белый колпак и колпак белый,
или как говорят Англичане, шесть одного и полдюжина другого: /bonnet blanc et
blanc bonnet/, or six of one and half a dozen of the other.

Tony.
Re: Paste as HTML
Hello * What is the added value of marking it as HTML on the clipboard? The added value is that you are able to paste the text into a word processing program like AbiWord, MS Word or StarWriter in a way that the HTML-Tags are not shown, but are interpreted by the word processing program in order to format the text as it would be formatted in a HTML browser. To achieve this know, I only see one way: Convert your text to HTML, then save it as HTML, open it with a web browser, copy it from here into the clipboard and paste it into a word processing program. With best regards Mathias

Patch attached.
New option - 'eightbitmeta' ('em'), default on. If unset, two
things happen:
I like the idea, but did not test the patch yet. I did not get alt-keys
work properly with the meta8 option in urxvt set.
