digraph_get('NU') returns 0xA

:echo char2nr(digraph_get('NU')) prints "10". this would seem to disagree with :h digraphs, which says that NU maps to "0" i.e. the null char. I don't think this is the result of an override as i certainly haven't tried to enact one and it happens even with -u NONE. is this a bug? -- -- You

stray control characters appear on vim startup

Sometimes when I open a new vim session, unpredictably, various characters appear on the first line, they look like they are terminal control characters but I don't know for sure. For example: ;2R^[[>0;95;0c They go away as soon as I type over them or redraw the screen. This doesn't happen

Re: Control redraws

g :set fdm=manual, then afterward doing :set fdm=expr (or syntax as the case may be). It still has to recalculate the folds which causes a visible pause, but this is for sure a big improvement. John Passaro (917) 678-8293 http://riemann-summary.blogspot.com http://www.soundcloud.com/a-straight-jo

xplain this behavior. For what it's worth, I looked at :autocmd TextChanged but it outputs nothing. Thanks in advance for any pointers! John Passaro P.S. Here's a reproducible example. On the following text, built-in html syntax creates folds from lines 1-5 and 8-12: I open both folds and type :

Vim normally offers a pretty lightweight bit of change detection and I think Shawn was only asking how to apply that to a new filename. In that context, ":saveas" seems to work: $ vim a :saveas b :! echo hello >> b W11: Warning: File "b" has changed s

Re: opinion: 'set showmatch'?

the word Result and the colon and quotes, and assuming there's nothing else, let x = 'Result: "/tmp/abcd/1234"' let y = substitute(x, 'Result: "\(.*\)"', '\1', '') is one way to do it. Add .* to the beginning or end or both if there's characters to ignore there. Regard
