mrxvtrc filetype and syntax files
Hi Bram,
Attached are the filetype, syntax and ftdetect files for mrxvt config
files. Sorry I couldn't make your April 20th deadline ... but maybe you
can stick these in Vim-7.1 if they don't make the Vim-7.0 release.

GTK2 and Vim70f
Hi all, I have been unsuccessful at building 7.0f with gtk2 support. I build all of the dependancies in a self contained tree, but vim configure is not recognizing the gtk2 trees.. I have attached my build script for reference but no matter what I do I can't seem to get this to look at my new gtk2 builds. Am I missing something? Is there a way to point to using my gtk2 directories? For gtk2 gtk-config is depracated in favor of pkg-config. The local version of pkg-config does correctly identify gtk2 as a valid library using pkg-config --list-all.

Hi All, Matt kindly suggested this mapping for the above inoremap m-i tab nnoremap tab esc vnoremap tab escgV inoremap tab esc`^ but how would I add a mapping to make tab work as escape in the command line, also is there any loss of functionality making this mapping, I don't use tab in the command line, but does it do anything useful that I don't know about?

Here is an example (executed on JDK 1.4.2 source): :ta Integer tag 1 of 11 or more :call feedkeys(4\CR) | ts takes me to the 4th tag If I prefix the :ts command with :silent, this doesn't work, and the fed keys are handled by Vim as normal mode commands. :call feedkeys(4\CR) | silent ts I was doing this (feeding keys) in Vim 6.3 using a dynamic mapping, which suffered from the same problem, so had to use the command without silent, and that is a big usability issue, so was really hoping that feedkeys() will solve this problem, but unfortuately it doesn't. Also, I just observed that while experimenting with feedkeys(), Vim went into a loop. It responds to ^C with a beep, but ignores all my other keys. It essentially stopped responding to user input (keyboard and mouse), but quit gracefully when I hit the window close button. Here is how to reproduce it (again using JDK 1.4.2 source, but should work on any tags): :ta Integer :ta Integer :call feedkeys(4\CR) | silent ts ^T :call feedkeys(4\CR) | silent ts E426: tag not found: Integer non-responding Vim The ^T is to return back to the previous tag in the stack.

Re: vimgrep slow?
Eric Arnold wrote: That will probably do for now. Thanks. However, having a flag would be a good thing, since it would allow future modifications to vimgrep to be encapsulated in the flag. Meaning, in the future, :vimgrep /pattern/fast would not necessarily be synonymous with :set eventignore=all Before even thinking of disabling autocommands, we first need proof that this actually changes the search time more than a few percent. Above that, if BufRead autocommands take so much time there is probably something wrong with them. You should find out why this happens. Vim already disables FileType autocommands to avoid ftplugins and syntax scripts, these are not needed for grepping. But this causes trouble for buffers that have a match, especially the first one. Vim takes care of that for Filetype, but if you disable all autocommands you may experience the side effect of that. -- TIM: But follow only if you are men of valour.

RE: Balloons
Earlier, I asked: Some questions on balloons: 1) In response to an user-event (say, a right click) can a message be shown in a balloon? 2) And if this is possible, would it be faster than, say, splitting to make a new buffer and showing the message there? For an example, consider Yasuhiro Matsumoto's calendar utility (www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=52) being made to show its output calendar in a balloon. Just to experiment, here's what I did: The version of calendar.vim that works for me is 1.3r 1) :nmap rightmouse :CalendarHcr 2) In calendar.vim, near line 830 there are a bunch of setlocal commands. I modified calendar.vim by adding the following line at the end of that bunch of setlocals nmap buffer space :q!cr 3) Ensured that this file was sourced. A) Then I right clicked, and hit space to make the calendar come up and disappear. Continuing with the experiment, 4) Inside function! Calendar(...) and before the section: ++ +++ build window ++ I added the lines: echo vdisplay1 return'' 5) Ensured that this file was sourced. B) Then I right clicked, and hit space to make the calendar come up and disappear. I find that B is much faster than A for both display and exit. One can guess why A is slower for display, but why is it slow for exit too? --Suresh
autochdir doesnt work right
I've tried all variation of BufEnter and autchdir commands to get the
cwd switched to that of the file that is open. None of them ever work
when I specify a file on the command line. The buffer for the file I
specify is open, but the cwd is right where I started vim. I have to
:bn|:bp to get the buffer switched.
Its only this first file. Anyone know why?

This has nothing to do with feedkeys(). If you silence an interactive command you can predict it won't work. This is mostly to prevent Vim from an apparent hang when someone uses :silent for an interactive command (often indirectly). I understand that silencing an interactive command should work this way, but when there are keys to be consumed, especially fed in advance using feedkeys(), what is wrong in feeding to the interactive command? To me, the usefulness of feedkeys() goes down significantly if this is not supported. In fact, I don't know where you would need feedkeys() as using a dynamic mapping can already achieve this. I don't know what you are talking about. The 4\CR in your example is executed, the cursor moves four lines down. Making interactive commands with :silent sometimes accept keys and sometimes not makes them unpredictable. Consider the hit-enter prompt, for example. All interactive commands in unix work with redirected stdio (well, except those that directly open the console, which are very rare), and why shouldn't this be the case with vim commands? We have output redirection for interactive commands, why can't they have a way to take input by other means? You are over-generalizing. Does firefox redirect stdio? Does reboot?

[modified for bottom posting]
When I open files from within vim its not a problem. Its the files
that are opened from the command line, a method I use every day.
The autocmds VimEnter, BufEnter, WinEnter, and BufWinEnter all activate
when a file is opened from the command line. You can use any of these.
The example set local directory I gave you will only set the directory
for windows in Vim. When you quit Vim, you will still be where you
executed Vim.
Consider using
:cd
instead of
:lcd
See :help :cd :help :lcd.
I'm sorry I misunderstood what you wanted in the first place.

Conditional search and replace.
I would like to write a search and replace that only operates on lines that are found in a separate search. So, for example, lets say I want to replace all occurrences of long with int but only on lines that have the word key on them. I could probably write out a script to do this, but I'm betting there is a really slick way for Vim to do this without a script. Any Ideas? Thanks. Kurt
Re: Conditional search and replace.

So, for example, lets say I want to replace all occurrences of long with int but only on lines that have the word key on them. :g/key/s/long/int/g That's :g/ on every line that matches key this regexp (the literal key) / do the following action s/ substitute longthis regexp (the literal long in this case) / with int this result (the literal int) /g and do it for all the occurances of long in the line If you want to avoid problems with things like longbottom, or singalong becoming things like intbottom and singaint, you can use :g/key/s/\long\/int/g which will ensure that long occurs as a word (as defined I *think* by the 'iskeyword' property) :help \ :help iskeyword :help :g I could probably write out a script to do this, but I'm betting there is a really slick way for Vim to do this without a script.

RE: File - register
[slightly redone version of previous post] Hello, What's the best way to get the contents of a file into a register? The following works (file is foo.bat) but is there a better way? :new|r foo.bat|1d|exec 'normal ayG'|q! Thanks, --Suresh
Re: File - register
:new|r foo.bat|1d|normal ayG|q!
So why does the q! get lost,
Well, the :normal command swallows everything after it, so
the pipe cue bang is interpreted as commands to execute in
normal mode. You can work around that either by using the
exec command:
1d|exec 'normal ayG' | q!
or possibly by dealing with it in normal mode
1d| normal ayG:q!cr
and is there a better way?
While there are likely a whole mess of ways to skin a cat,
one that occurs to me that you can also use:
:let @a=system('cat foo.bat')
(or on Win32, you might be able to use type instead of
cat) It's a little less cryptic.
HTH,

Backslash in maps
Hello,
Why does the following _single_ line map

Re: swapping tab and escape
Yes... I, Matt, who recommended the tab mappings, do no advise mapping tab this way for command line because of the lack of completion. However, you can do a ctrl-d for a kind of completion. --Matt On Thu, Apr 27, 2006 at 01:58:53AM -0700, Gerald Lai wrote: On Thu, 27 Apr 2006, Robert Cussons wrote: Hi All, Matt kindly suggested this mapping for the above inoremap m-i tab nnoremap tab esc vnoremap tab escgV inoremap tab esc`^ but how would I add a mapping to make tab work as escape in the command line, also is there any loss of functionality making this mapping, I don't use tab in the command line, but does it do anything useful that I don't know about? Tab is used as the completion key in the command line. This is extremely useful, IMHO. For example, (with cursor as _ underscore) typing :help dos-p_ and then hitting Tab will produce :help msdos-problems_ If you'd like to make Tab act as Esc in the command line, do :cnoremap Tab Esc HTH :) -- Gerald

First, replace all | with Bar:
nmap space :let
@a=substitute(getline('.'),'\(^.*Bar\s*\)\Bar\(\s\s*$\)','','g')
|s are used as the command separator in the :cmdline.
I think you'd want the first Bar to be escaped with a backslash \ .
Also, put CR at the end:
nmap space :let
@a=substitute(getline('.'),'\(^.*\Bar\s*\)\Bar\(\s\s*$\)','','g')CR
Simplifying the regex yields:
nmap space :let
@a=substitute(getline('.'),'^.*\Bar\s*\Bar\s\s*$','','g')CR

Actually, the description of E10 says it is _often_ caused by
command-line continuation; it does not say that that is the only
cause.
How would it be fixed?
I played with this a little bit before seeing Gerald's reply and
discovered, as he pointed out, that the problem is with the '|'. I
worked around it by adding backslashes until it worked. I found I
had to escape the first one in the pattern to avoid the error, then
figured I would have to escape the second one twice to make vim see
it as '\|'.
nmap space :let
@a=substitute(getline('.'),'\(^.*\|\s*\)\\|\(\s\s*$\)','','g')CR
And as Gerald said, it needs a CR at the end, too.

contain the the stuff after the very last '|' but without any

then @a should contain want this gold (without quotes)
Now that I know what you intended this to do, I tested my version
and it seems to work.
I wish I had a better understanding of when vim ignores quotes and
instead requires backslashes to escape |'s.

Quick peak at files
Hello,
I have summarized my posts today titled Balloons, File -
register and Backslash in maps as a vimtip
(www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=1218) titled Quick peak at
files; the tip is also attached below.
--Suresh
Quick peak at files
In an operating system's command-line terminal, one can get a
quick peak at a file using commands such as more, cat, head etc.
In vim, one way to peak at a file would be to open it in a new
buffer -- but there is a way to peak at a file from vim without
having to open it in a buffer, browse it and close the buffer --
one can just view it in vim's command line! This mode of viewing
is facilitated in vim version 7 by version 7's support for
scrolling (see :help scroll-back).
So to peak at a file, we just echo its contents (:help echo; info
on other commands mentioned here can be found likewise via :help).
Simple implementation:
-
One way to implement the idea would be:
:new|r file_name|1d|exec 'normal ayG'|q!|echo @a
One could also do :echo system('cat foo.bat'), but we are trying
to avoid explicit system calls. In version 7, vim supports
readfile(). But the results of readfile() is an array of lines --
and these lines would need to be joined to enable viewing; so we
have:
:echo join(readfile('foo.bat'), \n)
Applications:
Here are two applications that build on the idea presented here.
A) Yasuhiro Matsumoto's calendar utility
(www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=52) is written to
display the calendar in a buffer. For a quick peak at the
calendar, one can modify the plugin to support echoing the
calendar in vim's command line, and make a simple map (such as
of a RightMouse click) to trigger the display on the command
line!
B) I have the following in my vimfiles\after\ftplugin\index.vim
to speed up previewing emails using my mail user agent utility
(www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1052)
if(v:version 700)
nnoremap buffer space :exec let @a='r
'.expand('%:p:h').'/'.substitute(
\getline('.'),
\'\\(^.*\|\\s*\\)\\\|\\(\\s\\s*$\\)',
\'',
\'g')
\\\|new\\|@a\\|1d\\|
\silent exec 'normal\
d}\ayG'\\|q!\\|echo\ @acr
else
nnoremap buffer space :exec let
alist=readfile(expand('%:p:h').'/'.
\substitute(getline('.'),
\'\\(^.*\|\\s*\\)\\\|\\(\\s\\s*$\\)',
\'',
\'g')
\)\\|
\while(remove(alist, 0) != '')
\\\|endwhile
\\\|echo\
\substitute(getline('.'),
\'\\(^.*\|\\s*\\)\\\|\\(\\s\\s*$\\)',
\'',
\'g').\\n\n\
\\\|echo join(alist,\\n\)cr
endif
Acknowledgment:
--
While the idea presented here is mine, people on the vim@vim.org
mailing list suggested alternate ways of implementing it and
helped with some implementation details (such as escaping |).
Happy vimming!
