Key mapping on , and . with CTRL

Re: Key mapping on , and . with CTRL
Hello, I think it depends on what your terminal can understand. One way you can find it out is to type ':map ' (using command mode), then press CTRL-V and then the key sequence you want to map. For example, to map CTRL-L you could use ':map CTRL-VCTRL-L'. regards, Peter --- Zhaojun WU [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Vimmers, Is there any way to map the comma and period with CTRL such as: map C-, :foo map C-. :foo It seems the , and . cannot be used here directly.

You might also want to see the conversation earlier this week about which Control-keys are considered cross-platform. I think it was C-@ and C-A through C-Z, and the rest are not guaranteed to work on all systems. -Dmitriy On 10/27/06, Peter Hodge [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I think it depends on what your terminal can understand.

Hello all,
I'm quite a newbie to Vim. I've been using it under ubuntu dapper.
With moria color plugin, the font was nice, easy to read. I
think it's the default system font of ubuntu or something...
Now under windows xp. It's bold, hard to read. It's the
default system font. Now how can I change that to a nice
clean, easy to read font?
thanks
I like Bitstream Vera Sans Mono (use :set
guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h14:cANSI)
you can download the font at
http://www.bitstream.com/font_rendering/products/dev_fonts/vera.html
I add the following to my vimrc file:
Change default FONT
Set personal font, here is a review of different ones:
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/12/6/11739/5249
Bitstream Vera Fonts, downloaded from:
http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
if has('win32')
if filereadable(expand('$SystemRoot').'/fonts/Vera.ttf')
For normal 11 point font
set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h11:cANSI
For bold 11 point font
set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h11:b:cANSI
elseif filereadable(expand('$SystemRoot').'/fonts/Raize.fon')
Raize (12 pt bold)
set guifont=Raize:h12:b:cANSI
endif
endif
Since I have many machines I use my same installation of Vim on, not all of
them have the fonts I want. This will only set the font if it exists on the
machine, plus a second favourite (Raize).
Does anyone know how to do the same thing in Ubuntu (or *nix in general)?
I am not sure where the fonts get stored on a *nix system.

Well, in my .vimrc I now have:

Method I.
syntax include @CSTUFF $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/c.vim
This doesn't pick any local additions to C syntax, nor does it pick the
local syntax script if you've completely replaced the default C syntax

Method II: if you want to search all 'vimruntime' directories
if has(unix)

Method III (recommended): include into your @CSTUFF cluster a file

This would be equivalent (with fewer keystrokes) to Method II above.

You can probably leave the C highlight groups alone. If you were creating a

new language, let's say foobar, you would define a number of syntax groups
for your language, all of them with camel-case names starting foobar, and
then use
hi default link foobarFunction Function
hi default link foobarIdentifier Identifier
hi default link foobarComment Comment
etc.
Thank you.

Thanks a lot for helping.
Smart use of Tab
Dear all,
I've recently started using the CleverTab function below, modified from
the bottom of the comments page on tip 102. This is brilliant from my
point of view:
- tab produces tabs at the start of the line for indenting*;
- tab shows the longest unique option in the omnicomplete list
when using omnicompletion;
- tab cycles through the list of completions if the popup menu is
visible but omnicompletion isn't used;
- otherwise, it returns a tab.
What I'd like to do is change the last one of those so that it puts in
enough spaces to reach the next tabstop so that good formatting is
maintained regardless of the tabstop setting on a users editor.
However, I can't figure out how to achieve this.
The 'expandtab' option is no use as it will change the tabs at the start
of the line (used for indentation) to spaces, which will result in a
really badly formatted piece of source code (as it is edited by several
people who all like different tab stops)*. Similarly, replacing \Tab
in the last return line with is no use as it will always insert
four spaces, even if we're halfway through a tab stop (it's also not
very flexible for different tabstop settings).
Can anyone offer any suggestions for this?
Cheers,
Al
function! CleverTab()
If we've only had spaces/tabs thus far, add a tab
if strpart( getline('.'), 0, col('.')-1 ) =~ '^\s*$'
return \Tab
If we're omnifuncing, act on it
elseif exists('omnifunc') omnifunc != ''
return \C-X\C-O
elseif pumvisible()
return \C-N
else
This should ideally be 'spaced tab'
return \Tab
endif
endfunction
* If anyone wants to try to preach about the soft tabs vs. hard tabs,
please do it elsewhere. Having worked on a lot of collaborative
projects, I have found that, for me, hard tabs for indentation and
soft ones elsewhere is by far the best way of maintaining consistent
and neat code. If you disagree, that's fine by me, to each their own,
but please keep it to yourself and spare us all the pointless rants.

[snip] The 'expandtab' option does not affect existing tabs in the file (unless you :retab) so it should be safe to have your function reset/set it depending on whether you are at the start of the line or not. I have not tested this. For another approach, pretty much what you suggested, look at the VarTab() function in foo.vim, my file of example vim functions: http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=72 This function returns a calculated number of spaces, and it should be pretty easy to use the same idea for your function.

tags with abc::efg?
Hi, I have a bunch TCL procs defined with :: in the name. ie: abc::efg. I created a tags file, inside the tag file, it has abc::efg When I try to jump to this proc abc::efg in vim, using CTRL-], it can't find it. If cursor is under abc, then I get an message E426: tag not found: abc If the cursor is under efg, then I get a message E426: tag not found: efg. So it seems that vim can't trace the tag properly. It should use the entire string abc::efg to search for the tag. Anybody has a solution?? Thanks. Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail (http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/mailbeta/)

Set the 'guifont' option. What to set it to will depend on which language you
are using. For Latin alphabet on Windows I recommend Lucida_Console; however
it has no Arabic glyphs and its Cyrillic glyphs are not 100% fixed-width so
for Russian and Arabic I fall back on Courier_New, which is less elegant but
quite readable and supports many non-Latin alphabetic languages. For CJK
(Chinese-Japanese-Korean) I use MingLiU but there are others.
For example, for Latin alphabet I might use
:set guifont=Lucida_Console:h10:cDEFAULT
To see a fonts menu in gvim for Windows (and also in some but not all other
flavours of gvim), use :set guifont=*.
If you want to slightly adjust what is already set, you can use :set
guifont=Tab where Tab means hit the Tab key. This method can be used in
'nocompatible' mode with any non-boolean option. It will fill-in the current
value on your command-line, with escaping slashes if needed, and you can edit
it in-place, then accept the changes with Enter or discard the changes with
Esc. Or once you have exactly what you want, :set guifont=Tab will
display on the command-line exactly what you need to write into your vimrc or
gvimrc in order to set it that way every time.
Notes:
1. After using the guifont=* menu, the language setting is IMHO usually too
strict; in my experience it works best by replacing :cANSI, :cBALTIC or
whatever by just :cDEFAULT which lets gvim choose the appropriate glyphs (in
the various language variants of that same font) for any language you might be
using.
2. The line :set guifont=something should either go in your gvimrc, or, if
you put it in your vimrc, be bracketed by if has('gui_running'). Otherwise
that line would give you an error if you were to run the console version of
Vim, which doesn't know about 'guifont'.
Best regards,
Tony.
