Re: Tip #80: Restore cursor to file position in previous editing session does not work on Ubuntu
Hi, You should try to have a look at this bug and see if it's the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/58002 On 5/16/07, Tushar Desai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This tip (which restores cursor to the last position in previous editing session) is the lifeline of any developer and it works great for me at work (on Fedora Core 6). I've Ubuntu 7.04 @home and I just compiled and installed vim7.1 and this doesn't work for me. It didn't work with vim7.0 either. Actually, even on Ubuntu it works if I don't quit from vim. On FC6, irrespective of the quit. I suppose on ubuntu this is some how not being "remembered". So, how do I get my cursor back across session quits? Regards, -tushar. PS: Pardon me for some lame questions, while I try to improve my vim skills.
Re: what "feature" is required to return to last editing position?
Hello,
I'm also using vim with an Ubuntu Feisty. Here is what I have in my .vimrc:
" Try to restore cursor position when reading a buffer
au BufReadPost * if line("'\"") | exe "normal '\"" | endif
It works quite well.

IIUC, it requires both +autocmd and +viminfo -- IOW, at least a "Normal"
version. "Tiny" or "small" (including the version of vim installed under the
name "vi" by the RedHat package "vim-minimal") won't have it. (Sorry, I don't
know the Ubuntu package names.)
Best regards,
Tony.

Re: Auto-bracket/Auto-brace for Vim (automatic insertion/formatting of curly braces)
Hi,
Please see this thread:

Hello all,
I want to know if there is a way for me to configure Vim such that when
editing *.cc *.c *.cpp *.h files, when I type in:

it types in:

{
}
I don't know if I explained this well, but if you look at this webpage:
http://www.aivosto.com/codesmart/net.html
Search for "autobrackets" you will see the behavior as a screenshot.
Similar (but not the same as I describe) behavior can be seen here:
http://www.wholetomato.com/
Can anyone tell me if I can have my Vim configured as this? I recently
switched to Vim from Visual Studio and only thing I miss is these
autobrackets and auto-completion (that cute Intellisense pop-up that pops up
when you press . or -> I know Vim has omni-complete, but somehow it's not as
smart as Intellisense (i.e. lists non-member variables for class structures
as well as other junk alphabets that were previously typed)).

Removing tilde characters in front of non-existing lines?
Hello all, I'm displaying the line number in front of each line, so the tilde characters in front of non-existing lines are useless for me. Is there a way to not display them?

Removing trailing spaces on BufWrite
Hi, As the title says, I want to automatically remove trailing spaces when I save a file. This is what I put in my vimrc: au BufWrite * %s/\s\+$//ge This works correctly only when at least one match is found, an error is issued if I want to save a file without trailing spaces. However, using the 'e' flag for the substitute command should discard any such error (at least it's working when I use this command interactively). Did I miss something?
Re: Auto indent lost when opening a new file?
Thank you very much for your answer. I have these lines in my .vimrc:
if has("autocmd")
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.cls set filetype=tex
au BufRead,BufNewFile sconstruct set filetype=python
" Nes C syntax (used by TinyOS)
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.nc set filetype=nesc
au! Syntax nesc source ~/.vim/nesc.vim
endif
I use them to force a filetype for some files. Shouldn't I do that?
I added your line among mine:
au BufRead * set autoindent cindent smartindent
And now it's working correctly. As I understand it, these options are
disabled because I didn't add them to my other lines? But in this
case, why other options aren't also disabled?
Auto indent lost when opening a new file?
Hello all, This is something that annoys me a lot, and I don't know how to get rid of it: as soon as I open a new file, auto indentation is lost. Suppose I am editing a Python file: def func(): If I hit enter after this line, the cursor will be placed on the next line with correct indentation. Now suppose I open a new Python file by using :E. If I try to do the same thing, the cursor is no longer correctly indented when I create new lines, i.e., it is always placed at the beginning of the new line. Syntax highlight is still ok, only auto indentation is lost. Is it possible to correct that behavior?
