Re: minor feature request: let!

For example, to split a string in-place, you have to do: let foo = one,two,three let temp = split(foo, ',') unlet foo let foo = temp unlet temp As a minor improvement, I think it would be nice if you could do: let foo = one,two,three let! foo = split(foo, ',') Suppose someone asks you what the foo variable is for, what are you going answer? The point is: let the variable name reflect what it contains, don't re-use the same variable for something else. That way your code will be a lot more readable. let fooline = one,two,three let foowords = split(fooline, ',') -- For large projects, Team Leaders use sophisticated project management software to keep track of who's doing what. The software collects the lies and guesses of the project team and organizes them in to instantly outdated charts that are too boring to look at closely. This is called planning.

The ideal solution for me would be to detect more than X characters received during the last, say, 100ms, and turn on paste then. However, I have rebuilt the Fedora Core 6 test 1 RPMs --with-x=yes, and that's a workable solution. It's still annoying how clicking and selecting text causes vim to move my cursor around and requires me to press escape when I'm done selecting. But I can try to remember to shift-select, which works as I'd like. A pain, but workable and gives me proper pasting. I've submitted a but against FC6 core suggesting that they either build the non-gvim version with X enabled, or provide a third option in the vim-x11 package like xvim, which is text mode but with X enabled. what you are searching for is : :he pastetoggle Not really, but thanks for the pointer. I'm not much of a key mapping person. Typing :set paste or :set nopaste is no terrible burden, so that's what I used to do when I had to paste indented text.
