Re: can't diffsplit
I'm having the same problem, and the three solutions don't work for me. In all the three solutions (and even the other thread I started with your reply windo diffthis) doesn't work. What happens is that one window folds the complete file to one line. The other window keeps the file open as it was. Is this normal vim diffthis behaviour? I was expecting somekind of Winmerge behaviour. Rgds, Eric I. To diff one file already being edited with another file not being edited: 1. make the file already being edited current (let's say foo.txt) 2. :vertical diffsplit bar.txt II. To diff two files already being edited: 1. make one file current 2. :diffthis 3. make the other file current 4. :diffthis 5. (Optional) Rearrange the windows (using ^W commands) to place them side-by-side. III. To diff (in an existing Vim, but in new windows) two files not being edited 1. :bot new foo.txt 2. :vert diffsplit bar.txt
starting a second vim session in diff mode from out first vim

CLTR-N and enter
Hi, I'm using gvim 7.0 the word-completion function activated by CTRL-N. When selecting the right word by pressing CTRL-N to step trough the list I select the wanted word with pressing enter. This results in the right word, but also an extra carriage return. Is it possible to select the right word with another key then the enter-key, and thus staying on the same line before CTRL-N was pressed at all? Rgds, Eric _ Download Messenger.

RE: Troubles configuring vim (multi-questions)
From: OnionKnight [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Troubles configuring vim (multi-questions) Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2007 17:22:06 -0700 (PDT) [deleted] * I wanted the Home-button to act so that it first jumps to the first non-whitespace character of the current line (i.e. skip the indentation) and if Home is pressed when you're already at the first non-whitespace character or before then it should jump to the real beginning of the line, column #1. I made this function: function! HomeKey () let c = col(.) if c == 1 w else g0w if col(.) = c g0 endif endif endfunction This doesn't want to work properly. It extends the command window and dumps some code from the bottom of the .vimrc and then asks for pressing enter and lastly jumps to line #180 in the same file. If c == 1 nothing happens, it doesn't go all wild but that 'w' keypress isn't executed. Also I have noticed that g0 doesn't really take you back to beginning of the line but the beginning of the horizontal scroll. A problem, but it doesn't explain why the code is acting crazy.

Re: SR with dynamic range
[deleted] You may have to clarify. I'm not sure how this mapping is taking place. It looks like you start with two inputs (i1 and i2) and two outputs (o1, and o2) and you want to map them to two inputs (i1 and i1 again) and *three* outputs (o1, o2, and o2 again). My stupidity I've made two typo's: It must be component AAA port ( i1 : in std_ulogic; i2 : in std_ulogic; o1 : out std_ulogic; o2 : out std_ulogic); end component AAA; to become: inst_AAA : AAA port map ( i1 = in , i2 = in , o1 = out, o2 = out); So questions would include: -what governs when i2 becomes i1? For SR simplyfing I've left the two in , and the two out as text-placeholders When the SR is done I need to manual change these. For example, it would become i1 = A , i2 = B , o1 = C, o2 = D); -what governs when/why o2 gets doubled? This is my typo. It should have only one o2. Otherwise, it looks like you may want something like :','s/std_ulogic;/, :*s/:/= where you create the range by getting inside the parens and using vi( to highlight the lines for those parens. (In that 2nd one, the asterisk is a short-hand notation for the ',', an little-known or oft-overlooked feature of vim that I use fairly regularly) [deleted] PS: This is fun...I'm learning little bits of VHDL merely by hanging out on a mailing list for a *text-editor* :) Looks like fun stuff.

Re: Can you create file dependend fold markers
Tim thanks for your reply. See embedded how far I got. [...] Can you create your own (VHDL) fold markers? (not sure if the terminolgy is OK) For example I have VHDL-code like below: component bufg port ( o : out std_ulogic; i : in std_ulogic); end component; And when I'm at the first line in normal-mode and give zc command (fold close) then I want to see it fold like: +-- 5 lines: component bufg :set foldmarker=component\ bufg,end\ component :set foldmethod=marker This assumes that component bufg always starts the block. If bufg is some sort of variable/tag, you /can/ use :set foldmarker=component,end\ component Yes, bufg is a variable. It can also be andport or multiplexer This is working. Can you create more foldmarkers? For example, can I type: :set foldmarker=component,end\ component :set foldmarker=entity,end\ entity :set foldmarker=process,end\ process And should these then be stored in a foldmarker.vim file in my ftplugin directory? [...] Alternatively, with manual folding, you can force them by first clearing your folds (with zE) and then using something like :g/^component\s\+\w+/,/^end component/fold The use of regexps can give you more flexibility for nailing them down. An advantage over some of the 'foldmethod's is that you can also create your own manual folds on top of this as desired. This has a disadvantage that it doesn't refresh realtime, but the pairing (zE + the :g//) can be mapped to a single keypress to force a manual update if needed (though it will wipe out any other manually created folds). If you have trouble understanding what the above is doing, drop a line and I'd be glad to explain it. Yes please explain, as I get the message: E486: Pattern not found ^component\s\+\w+ I tend to go with the latter as allows me to be very precise with my regexps and it also allows me to create manual folds in addition. Hope this gives you some ideas to work with... -tim Yes it does, If I get the latter also working I can see which one is better for my needs.

Re: Workspace concept ala TextPad
Hi Yegappan, From: Yegappan Lakshmanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Eric Leenman [EMAIL PROTECTED] [...] You can try using the workspace manager plugin: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1410 - Yegappan I'm a simple VIM user. That's why I ask many things on this mailing-group, which is very responsive. Many times when I try to install very clever plugins I fail to do so. Mainly because of the missing-Vim knowledge you guys have. I decided to try it again and unfortantly failed again to follow the instructions. If it's not too much of your time, could you please explain what I need to do following your 6 points. If not thanks anyway. I read on the script that I need to follow the 6 points mentioned. [start of point 1] 1. Download the workspace.zip file and unzip the files to the $HOME/.vim or the $HOME/vimfiles or the $VIM/vimfiles directory. This should unzip the following two files (the directory structure should be preserved): plugin/workspace.vim - main workspace plugin file doc/workspace.txt- documentation (help) file Refer to the 'add-plugin', 'add-global-plugin' and 'runtimepath' Vim help pages for more details about installing Vim plugins. [end of point 1] What I did: Download the zip file: And stored workspace.txt is stored in C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\doc workspace.vim C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\plugin Is this OK? What is $HOME, how can I check this in VIM? What is $VIM, how can I check this in VIM? [start of point 2] 2. Change to the $HOME/.vim/doc or $HOME/vimfiles/doc or $VIM/doc/vimfiles directory, start Vim and run the :helptags . command to process the workspace help file. [end of point 2] What I did: I don't understand the first part. What is ment here? I just started Vim and did typed: :helptags . Vim did do something, don't know what. [start of point 3] 3. If you are running a terminal/console version of Vim and the terminal doesn't support changing the window width then set the 'Ws_Inc_Winwidth' variable to 0 in the .vimrc file. [end of point 3] What I did: I ignored this, as I'm running gvim on windows xp. [start of point 4] [end of point 4] What I did: As there isn't a point 4 I went to point 5 [start of point 5] 5. Restart Vim. [end of point 5] What I did: I did close gvim and restarted it. [start of point 6] 6. You can now use the :WsOpen filename command to open a workspace. You can use the :help workspace command to get more information about using the workspace plugin.

Re: Using (g)vim without installing it
Antoine, [snip] Some of them, maybe. (g)vim, even for Win95, was much more than just an exe file, unless you mean a self-installer containing an archive of the whole distribution. I agree. What I ment is to copy the gvim.exe file (after running the installation of gvim70.exe) I did so this morning and this works, however it keeps asking to register it (yes/no) which is not possible in my case. This is not a usefull solution for me. A Vim installation contains, not only an editor executable, but also a number of support files including *.vim scripts and *.txt help files. I agree [snip] With just a gvim.exe, you would lack many great features such as help, filetype recognition, syntax highlighting, directory browsing, foreign language support in messages and menus, etc. etc. etc. I would not call that a functioning Vim. I agree I think you could install Vim in user space, for instance in My Documents\Vim\vim70 and below. Try downloading Steve Hall's self-installer from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866package_id=39721 and telling it to install into a Vim folder under your My documents folder. (The installer will create a vim70 folder there and put everything into that vim70 folder and subfolders of it that it will also create.) You may have to create that My Documents\Vim prior to starting the installer but I'm not sure. I hope the installer will be clever enough not to try modifying the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (but only the HKEY_CURRENT_USER) registry if you install from a non-admin account. I tried just now. But when I select a different directory then the C:\Programs Files\vim they OK-button is grayed-out. So never came to an install. But this is not the place to discuss this here. To compile Vim for Windows, see http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm . It takes some work to get it running but it can be done (I know: I did it myself); however, if installing Vim is too much for you, I don't think you will be willing to put yourself to the trouble of compiling it. Your right, your site says enough for a simple-user not to go this way. Of course. Install from Steve Hall's installer as above, but instead of My Documents\Vim, install under, for instance, Q:\Vim if Q: is your USB stick. Again, I don't know whether it will be necessary to create Q:\Vim first. As said above this failed. You may miss some things which only exist if they are set in the registry, for instance the Edit with Vim right-click menu; but I think the installation on the stick will be usable. You may have to create, let's say, a Q:\Home directory and set your HOME directory to it before starting Vim: for instance, by creating a GVIM.BAT file containing set HOME=Q:\Home Q:\Vim\vim70\%0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 (replace Q: by whatever is the root of the USB stick on the machine in question.) You may also set up an identical copy of that same file with the name VIM.BAT if you have also installed the Console version of Vim. With these settings, your vimrc (and gvimrc if any) will be in Q:\Home Maybe I get sofar. A final caveat: The VIMRUNTIME environment variable is best left unset in the environment (outside of Vim). You may or may not want to set the VIM variable but if it is set, it should be set to the Vim directory which is the parent of the vim70 installation folder for the current Vim 7.0 installation. It is not necessary to set it, but it is useful if you use the Dos Box command-line a lot: in that case, %VIM% (in any command given at the prompt) will resolve to wherever you set the VIM directory. Depending on your version of Windows, environment variables are set either in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT or in Control Panel = System = Advanced. Best regards, Tony. -- OK Thanks anyway.

Using (g)vim without installing it
Hi, Is it possible to start and use vim as an old exe file or com file? (don't know if the terminolgy is ok) What I mean is that old windows programs for windows 95 where just exe files, and by copy them on a pc and starting them they just work. Nowadays you have to install them first before you can use them. I recently switched jobs, and the company is fine, but they have an IT-policy that users don't have administration rights. When I asked them to install gvim, they said we use TextPad, company policy. It's the first company that I ran into this, with a @[EMAIL PROTECTED] policy, but I have to live with it. What I now want is: Preference 1: To copy and paste a (g)vim.exe file without the need to install it, or administrator rights. If this is possible, how to do this? And if to re-compile vim how do you this. Preference 2: Is it possible to install gvim on a usb-stick. If so then I can install it at my home PC on the usb-stick and then use it at work Are there any other methods?

Colour files should go into the vimfiles/colors directory,
Yes.
and needs to be named according to the filetype you want it to be used
for. For instance, sql.vim will be loaded for .sql files.
No (see below).
You can further specify what filetype to use for a file by creating a
filetypes.vim file in the vimfiles/ftdetect directory.
... a filetype.vim file in a directory in 'runtimepath', *and/or* one or
more Vim script(s) of _any_ name in the ftdetect subdirectory of a
directory in 'runtimepath'.
For more info about this, see
:help ftdetect
Also,
:help syntax
and also (more important)
:help :colorscheme
Hope that helps
The files in the colors directory are what is called color schemes in Vim
parlance, and correspond to what would be called themes or skins in
other programs. Their names bear *no relation* to the files to be edited
with them. Vim never loads them automatically but only as a result of the
:colorscheme name command, which is roughly equivalent to :runtime
colors/name.vim where name.vim is the name of an arbitrary
colorscheme script.
The highlight groups to use for files of a given syntax are in the syntax
subdirectory of directories in 'runtimepath', and they may define default
colors for highlight groups not predefined in Vim, by using :highlight
default commands (see :help :highlight-default).
Absolutely. I had my syntax file and colorschemes info mixed up. I hope
the OP reads your corrections. _Syntax_ files need to be named according
to their application (language), whereas colorscheme files are used to
change the colours of text _according_to_the_syntax_ file definition. The
colorscheme effectively is applied over the syntax definition.
Indeed. This also means

How to scroll up and down without changing horizontal pos
Hi, I'm using page-up and page-down to scroll. Also ctrl-home and ctrl-end. This moves the cursor to the beginning of the line. How can this be avoided. I need to the cursor to stay where it is, as the lines are 1000+ characters long Rgds, Eric _ Is your PC infected?

Re: How to scroll up and down without changing horizontal pos
[snip]
nmap silentPageDown :exe norm .winheight(0).jcr
nmap silentPageUp :exe norm .winheight(0).kcr
nmap silentc-home :let x=col('.')bar1barexe norm .x.barcr
nmap silentc-end:let x=col('.')bar$barexe norm .x.barcr
[snip]
This works great.
I'm trying to map them also to visaul-mode but then I get the error:
no range allowed
Why is that?
I have:
vmap silentc-s-PageDown :exe norm .winheight(0).jcr
vmap silentc-s-PageUp :exe norm .winheight(0).kcr
vmap silentc-s-home :let x=col('.')bar1barexe norm
.x.barcr
vmap silentc-s-end:let x=col('.')bar$barexe norm
.x.barcr
Rgds,
Eric

^M problems with migrating VIM from WinXP to Linux
Hi, I'm using VIM on WinXP and want to move my files now also to Linux. I copied the files and VIM reads in my .vimrc. It comes up with a bounce of errors all related to ^M. When I open this file on my WinXP I don't see them. What do I need to do to make these ^M also visible on my WinXP machine? Or do I need to change the files in a different way? I want to remove the ^M on my WinXP machine and then copy them over again to my linux machine. Thanks Eric _ Dont just search. Find.
