No Recognition of CR

Hello, if I source the following in a script, the CR is recognized literally and not as the CR-Key. So if I click the menu, the :source command appears on the bottom line with a literal CR instead of carrying the command out. (Works normally on other installations.) Why that? silent 11nmenu

Re: editing function argument lists

Hi Marc. The EasyHtml idea is an interesting one, I could take over an entire buffer (window) and put the list editing commands in there, but I am used to dealing with registers and motions in the standard vim sense; I'm not sure how well I would adapt to a new layout. I think I would also have

auto-wrapping text

Hello, I have a simple question about text auto-wrapping. I've looked at the help files, but haven't been able to find the answer to my question. I have some files that have been auto-wrapping (inserting a line-break) when the text gets to the end of the line, then moving down to the next line.

RE: searching for a string that has many '/' characters

I have a string that has lots of forward slashes. I need to search it and delete it (e.g. unix path name). I could use a backslash for everything forward slash and find it in vim. Is there a way I need not do that? For now, I use 'grep -n' to get the line number and then delete it. I don't

RE: How do I replace text with a new line?

S :s/^V^C/\r/ -- ctl-V ctl-C is shorter, else the \%x03 will work fine should do what you want. Thanks very much. Yes that is what I needed. And the text I'm playing with came from some serial data and has STX ETX wrapping the real data.

Pasting into gvim from word: ' tu rns into ¿

I asked this question before, but it wasn't really resolved. I often have to paste from Word for Windows into vim/gvim (cygwin). Some characters don't transfer properly. Most annoyingly is that a single quote ( ' ) turns into this: ¿ Is there an easy way around this?

paste staircasing

Hi, Whenever I paste something into vim, it gets staircased. Is there a way to avoid copy/paste being staircased even when I have ai, cin or si turned on? I usually need the options and it's cumbersome to turn them off only for pasting and on again after pasting. 770 |

RE: Pasting into gvim from word: ' turns into ¿

Thanks for the feedback. Well, this is kind of over my head. I guess a better question is why can't vi handle that character (or others)? Is this an encoding thing? Both 'encoding' and 'fileencoding' are set to 'Latin1'. Could this be my problem? I would figure that vi would internally convert

display aberrations on Mac

I'm using Vim 7 on a Macbook Pro (Intel) with OS X 10.4.8. With gvim I'm seeing some aberrant display: the occasional character will only half or 3/4 drawn, and :redr does not fix it. (However moving the cursor across it in normal mode does fix it.) Is this a known problem, and is there a fix?

I had this problem when using a G4 Powerbook with Vim 7. The issue began when I changed from the default font. Unfortunately I do not have a fix for the problem, only a suggestion. Try different fonts including changing the font size. Good luck, Kevin Alan G Isaac wrote: I'm using Vim 7 on
