Hi,
I have this is in my .vimrc:
iabbrev mdate =strftime("%a %d/%m/%Y")
It used to work fine, but as of recently (3 or 4 weeks or so), this
abbreviation only works if it is the first thing that I input on any
file. If I edit a file, type some characters and then I type "mdate",
it doesn't get
I have installed and uninstalled gvim many times. I have to re learn
some (many) keyboard combinations. Is there a safe way to mod gvim to

Hi,
Maybe this is off-topic but I hope you guys can help, as there's no
specific maling list for classic vi/nvi.
On my system (Linux/amd64 Debian 4.9.189) I have:
- vim (vim 8.1)
- vi (aliased to vim)
- nvi (nvi-1.81.6nb5 )
For self-educational purposes, I've been trying to teach myself to use

First of all, I know vim is a text editor and not a word processor, but...
I have a heavily formatted resume in pdf that I want to make as
machine-readable as possible yet decently readable by a human.
I have converted it into plain text first, then, in vim:

Hi all,
I have this bash alias:

and this line in vimrc:

I want to insert (prepend) a timestamp at the beginning of a non-empty

this will print the timestamp on the next line, that is

Hi all,
I'd like to have the opinion of this list before reporting this issue
as a bug on github.
I have compiled and installed Vim using pkgsrc on my Linux Mint Debian Edition.
I've already reported the issue on the pkgsrc-users list and it has
been suggested that I report the issue upstream.
[Apologies if you have already received this email. I have not seen it
on the web interface, so I'm re-sending it.]
