Ah, confirmed.  I can now reproduce it too on Linux with Vim-7.3.138 in the terminal as well as with gvim (gtk2) with: $ vim -u NONE -c 'set lazyredraw' ... then typing  :verCR   does not show anything. I just came here to say the same thing. :messages and probably other commands are also

Re: allow more than 10 capturing groups

Hi, So here is a patch, that allows 99 capturing groups in the replacement part. This uses the perl-like syntax ${1} until ${99} for the capturing groups in the replacement part. While I personally like seeing the limit lifted, I personally would prefer named matching groups. This is how ruby

Re: Question about auto-loading of plugins

As you can see, the autoload script is loaded, even so vim shouldn't need to. Is that the way autoloading is supposed to work or is this a bug? The line has to be parsed because how would you know if it isn't an :endif. Maybe that's when the autoload function is loaded? Anyway, you still can

sandbox: Setting variables

Hi, When code is evaluated in a sandbox, vim disallows using certain commands and setting certain options. It doesn't disable setting variables though. Is there a way to mark a variable as security relevant so that code evaluated in the sandbox isn't allowed to change it? Something like: :let

vim-gnome: cannot use set columns=1000 lines=1000 twice

Hi, Using set columns=1000 lines=1000 is a commonly used trick to maximize gvim's window. If I execute this line twice: set columns=1000 lines=1000 set columns=1000 lines=1000 the command line vanishes and vim behaves as if it actually had that much space available. Version: 7.2-330

Re: serverlist: Gnome vs Windows

Log in as other than root, and you'll see gvim for Linux set itself up as a server too (if, of course, it is compiled with +clientserver). I didn't mean that it doesn't set itself up as a server but that on windows the server is registered rigth from the start (i.e. before sourcing vimrc any

Attached patch provides clean up required.  ruby_dyn3.txt This seems to work. I had to make a few changes to Make_cyg.mak in order to compile it with USE_DLL=no. BTW since ruby 1.9 tends to break code ruby written for ruby 1.8, I think there should be an easy way to query ruby's version

Re: vim 7.2.376 builds fine with MinGW and ruby support

I am not sure I understood you correctly. Compiler detects Ruby version at compile time already (see numerous #ifdefs in if_ruby.c). And I do not think there is a point in detecting version at run-time: it looks Ruby developers do not care of C code compatibility. I currently use has('ruby')

Re: 2010 new features

Maybe it /would/ make GVim more attractive if it had, let's say, a more modern toolbar. Maybe MS Office like ribbons would help to improve vim's popularity. I've been told that a future version of OpenOffice will have similar gui elements. Hence, they have to be useful. -- You received this

Re: Create vimballs from the command-line

WinZip (for instance) can uncompress .gz files as an easy preliminary step. 7zip[1], which is GPL licensed, handles all formats well. The point was though that vimballs cannot readily include binary data which isn't all wrong I think. [1] http://www.7-zip.org

Re: Create vimballs from the command-line

Right.  For the near term, supporting unzipping using a pure-vimscript solution isn't terribly likely, but it's definitely possible OOTB in vims built with +python, for example. installing zip-based plugins basically is a matter of exec '!unzip '. shellescape(expand('%')) .' -d ~/vimfiles'

Create vimballs from the command-line

Hi folks, Maybe somebody has some use for this. I wrote a small ruby script that allows the creation of vimballs (plain text or gzipped) from the command line. It's still young and fresh and experimental. I ran it over my own plugins and the generated vimballs are identical to those created by

Re: Create vimballs from the command-line

You can specify the base path with the final arg to MkVimball. If you wanted to create vimballs from cygwin bash by calling Windows gvim (you could of course use cygwin's vim but ...), you'd have to convert the path which works most of the time but can be cumbersome. But thanks for reminding me
