Patch 7.0.046
Patch 7.0.046
Problem:The matchparen plugin ignores parens in strings, but not in single
quotes, often marked with character.
Solution: Also ignore parens in syntax items matching character.

Controlling @Spell/@NoSpell
In my syntax/context.vim I include a bunch of other syntaxes. All work fine except for the xml one, as spell-checking stops working when it's included. It seems to be due to the fact that there are items in the xml syntax that are marked to contain @Spell. This seems to set off the default of having everything be spell-checked. The context syntax does have a bunch of @NoSpell, however, and other syntaxes included, such as those for c and ruby, include @Spell containments as well. I don't quite understand why this is happening, so perhaps someone with better knowledge of the @Spell/@NoSpell rules could help me out. Also, is there a way to say that spell-checking should be on everywhere, even though @Spell has been set for some definitions? Thanks. nikolai
Copy a line of text without the LF
Hi, I am using vim 7.0.42 on a Linux system. I want copy a complete line of text *without+ the final LF at the end, so it is possible to insert it elsewhere in the midth of text. With Shift-V I get the line *with* the LF at the end -- so I can not use that. With y/last character of the lineRET I get the line without the LF but the last character is also missing. With y/$RET I get the line without the LF but the last character is missing again. :set selectionRET gives me the default (inclusive). What did I wrong ? Kind regards, mcc

editexisting.vim
Hi I am using gvim 7 and the plugin editexisting.vim on WinXP. I have several problems with this plugin and I'm hoping you can help me. 1. When I'm opening a file with the command line option '+312', the file will be opened with the cursor at line 312. But when the file is already opened, the cursor just stays where it is and does not move to line 312. 2. When the file is already opened in a background-tab, the correct gvim-instance gets active. But it does not switch to the correct tab, it splits the current window... thanks for your help cu boesi -- seasons82 was ist rl? seasons82 und muss man das wissen? ...der moment wo einem klar wird, dass man zuviel chattet...

Re: Copy a line of text without the LF
Hi! But why I do need a specialised command ? That's no specialised command, but the syntax of y. You type y and then a motion. $ moves to the end of the line. Why does y/$ y/[pattern] moves to the first occurance of the pattern. The cursor is positioned on the first character of the pattern, but this character is never yanked (which is exactly what one expects normally). (despite the settings of the selection option) The selection option is not relevant here, because you don't select anything here. Why do I have to leave / off and have to use y$ The syntax of y in Normal mode is y followed by a motion. And why does yany other character does not work? If any other character is no motion, then this must not work. Is this inconsistency needed? This is no inconsistency. Just read: :h motion.txt :h copy-move BTW, my suggestion has the advantage of using Visual mode. Sometimes you have to type one character more, but this has the big advantage, that you can see, what you are going to yank. Best wishes, Georg ___ All new Yahoo!

Saveing of a recorded macro
Hi, is it possible and if true then how() endif to save a recorded macro to a file ? Kind regards, mcc
Re: Saveing of a recorded macro
is it possible and if true yes. :) then how() Well, by default, vim supports saving the contents of registers via the viminfo file/settings :help 'viminfo' Since macros are recorded to registers, this would save any macros you have, up to a given size (either in lines or in bytes, depending on the setting of 'viminfo'). It's often handy, if you have an action that you want to repeat, to store it in a mapping instead. You can paste the source of your macro just as you would paste any other register: ap (assuming you recorded to register a) which should give you a pretty good indicator of what should be done in the mapping. You don't detail the particulars of your macro, so I can't offer suggestions on making a mapping. however, if it's something common that you want to do regularly, you can then put the mapping in your vimrc file and it will be available every time you start vim. -tim

fast file locating plugin (like ido.el in emacs)
Hi,
Does anyone ever used ido.el in emacs? (www.cua.dk/ido.el)
The plugin could considerably speedup file accessing performance,
especially when I'm maintaining a large wiki docbase. So I really
want to know
- if vim have equivalent plugin like ido.el
- if not, is there any simple way to achieve the same effect in
vim? (don't want to explicitly edit directory and locate file)
Thanks
Eddy
BTW, for those who never used ido.el. Below is the description of its
functionality

;; Substring matching (The default method)

;; The buffer or file at the start of the list will be the one visited
;; when you press return. By typing more of the substring, the list is
;; narrowed down so that gradually the buffer or file you want will be
;; at the top of the list.
;;
;; If I have two buffers called 123456 and 123, with 123456 the

;; Buffer: {123456,123}
;;
;; If I then press 2:
;; Buffer: 2[3]{123456,123}
;;
;; The list in {} are the matching buffers, most recent first (buffers
;; visible in the current frame are put at the end of the list by

vtreeexplorer problem
Hi, I'm trying vtreeexplorer plugin, it works great. But one problem prevents me adopting it as the replacement for explorer plugin. The problem looks like below - cut a line from file_a - open vtreeexplorer - open file_b from vtreeexplorer - paste the line cut before, but find the line pasted is not the line from file_a (but something from vtreeexplorer's treeview) Does anyone know how to solve the problem ? Thanks Eddy

Re: Display the current character
Is there a way to dispaly the current cursor position? e.g,, character 23. use ga which will display the hex/decimal/octal values of the character under the cursor. I remember it as _g_et _a_scii [value] :help ga There's also g8 for a UTF-8 character under the cursor. Additionally, if you want to see it on a regular basis (and not just when you ask for it), you can tweak your 'ruler'/'rulerformat' settings to include the value %b or %B (depending on whether you want decimal or hex) :set ruler rulerformat=%b/0x%02B There are all sorts of other goodies you can toss in your 'rulerformat' setting. :help 'ruler' :help 'rulerformat' :help 'statusline' should give you all sorts of interesting reading. :) -tim
RE: Saveing of a recorded macro
-Original Message- From: Meino Christian Cramer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 6:27 AM To: vim@vim.org Subject: Saveing of a recorded macro Hi, is it possible and if true then how() endif to save a recorded macro to a file ? I have done this in the past as follows: 1. Record your macro into the a register 2. Open your vimrc 3. Create a new line with: autocmd FileType sql let @a=' 4. Pressing (in insert mode) C-Ra, this will paste your recorded macro into your vimrc, then add a final single quote. 5. The problem with step 4 is newlines and escapes are lost. So to fix this, you can: - For each newline (or carriage return you want in your macro) erase the new line and then (still in insert mode) press C-VC-M (that is control V followed by control M). - For each escape you need in your macro, add a C-VC-[ 6. So you will end up with something like this: autocmd FileType sql let @a='/sys^Mcwbob^[nn.^M' This means, each time I edit a file with a filetype of sql, the a register will automatically have your macro recorded, so you can re-execute the macro (in normal mode) pressing @a. 7. This macro does: autocmd FileType sql let @a='/sys^Mcwbob^[nn.^M' - /sys^M - find sys (and the user had to have pressed enter) - cwbob^[ - change word to bob and press escape to get out of insert mode - Skip one find - .^M - repeat my last cw command 8. Obviously you are going to make lots of mistakes as you do this. It is very easy to test you macro, fix it, and test again. - You can move your cursor to after the first single quote. - Press v (to start linewise visual mode) - Move your cursor to the end of your macro - Press ay - which yanks your visually selected text into the a register - Re-execute the macro pressing @a Hope that helps you. It is a bit figity, but it works and does what you need. Other people may have suggestions on how to replace the newline (or carriage returns) with the ^M and add the escapes where necessary. Dave

window split from tag?
When following a tag through to the file where it's defined, is there any way to get vim to keep the existing window open, and simply open (vertically and/or horizontally) a new window as opposed to replacing the existing one?

How to delete unicode multi-byte characters?

Re: PCRE? Perl Compatible Regular Expressions?
Hi David,
If you begin your pattern with '\v', then every character except [_a-z0-9]
becomes 'special'. This allows you to use tokens like '?', '(' and '+' without
a backslash. Unfortunately, you can't use '(?:' and friends.
Maybe there should be a modifier like '\v' which makes the pattern compatible
with PCRE. '\!' hasn't been taken yet, i.e., :s/\!(?:foo|bar)/---/
But this could potentially cause some headaches, because PCRE does not support
any of the Vim-only goodness such as \x\o\h\a\l\u\i\k etc (not to mention \%#
and \%c etc), and some items such as '\f' are ambigous? Vim treats it as any
file name character (from 'isfname') but PCRE treats it as the form-feed
character (\x0B I think). And then there is the question of where you want to
put the PCRE after-delimiter modifiers.
regards,
Peter

The regular expression syntax that Vim uses is, I'm sure, compatible with Vi.
There were always a number of different regex dialects to choose from:
grep, egrep, sed. But in the last few years, pcre's have become popular, and

Ruby to JavaScript to C# to Java.

IIRC, in addition to all the suggestions made so far, to change a
register from linewise (with NL or null at the end) to characterwise
(without it) you can use (for instance with the default register):
:call setreg('', @, 'c')
or even
if setreg('', @, 'c')
echoerr 'Couldn''t set @ to characterwise'
endif
(the function return zero for success). Use setreg('x', @x, 'c') to use
register x instead.

Ben With 'ruler' on, or with the status line displayed (i.e., 'laststatus' set to 2 for always, or to 1 in split-window mode) it is displayed near the right end of the status line or command-line (a little to the left of 'Top' 'All' 'Bot' or percentage), in the form 681,7 meaning line 681 column 7; or 19,18-29 meaning line 19, 18th byte, screen column 19.

I have both two-byte and three-byte utf-8 characters to consider. I'm using vim7. Yours, Noah 1. You must have 'encoding' set to UTF-8. Note that this will change three things: (a) how Vim understands the contents of the file, (b) how it displays it, (c) how it understands your keypresses. (c) is also governed by 'termencoding' but in Console Vim (not gvim) this governs (b) too. If 'encoding' is not set to UTF-8 when entering Vim (and before any vimrc commands) you may need to set 'termencoding' to the old value of 'encoding' before changing 'encoding'. But in console Vim the display (which is controlled by the terminal, not directly by Vim) may or may not be garbled. Using gvim is easier -- unless you are on a Unix/Linux system with no X server running. 2. To delete a composing character while leaving the underlying spacing character unchanged, make sure 'delcombine' is TRUE and use backspace in Insert mode. This deletes one combining character at a time; in some cases, the same character may be combining or spacing depending on context: e.g., Vim (with +arabic, and 'arabic' set) treats Arabic alif as combining when it immediately follows laam, as spacing in other cases. 3. To delete the spacing character together with any combining characters it may have, use (for instance) x in Normal mode 4. Multi-byte characters in UTF-8 are anything greater than 127. You can search for codepoints between U+0080 and U+00FF by searching on /[\x80-\xFF] IIUC, there's no way to search for a _range_ of characters higher than U+00FF. Or maybe you can trick the system by searching on /[^\x00-\x7F] but I haven't tested it. WARNING: Any Latin accented characters, even à é ç etc., are multi-byte in UTF-8. Also the degree sign etc. So I guess if you want to do it using the :s[ubstitute] command you had better set the c flag. Best regards, Tony.
