Hi there,
something's up with my vi(m) editor in my mac pro Terminal app (Mac OS Catalina) and it's driving me insane. It happens when I make a new file, say a python function in which I might write from the command line: $vim function.py def function(variable): pass then I type :wq to save it and exit. Next time I open it I'll see each letter bracketed by ^@, as in: ^@d^@^@e^@^@f^@ ^@f^@^@u^@^@n... you get the idea. Interestingly, if I add text to an existing file, save it and close it, the issue isn't there next time I open it. It seems to happen only when I make a fresh file and with vim 8.1.2292 as well as 8.2.1719. Any help to solve this would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work, Nicola -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
