Re: Highlight just headings?

I really like my setup but sometimes it is hard to pick out the headings. The only Markdown convention I use is headings. I turned off Markdown syntax because most of the highlighting gets in the way e.g. the “_” underscore in URLs, file_names, and paths start italics where I don't want it. Escape characters would slow down typing and reading. I use Markdown headings for folding. I do not want the remaining Markdown syntax. Is there a Vim script that has the following three syntax or a plugin where the other syntax can be turned off?: 1. indented wrapping e.g. Block Quotes from reStructuredText (RST) 2. heading highlighting from Markdown e.g. ##title 3. folding on the Markdown headings (sorry for messing up the text).

Macros viewing them?
I didn't find anything in help about being able to see the commands in
a macro. When I create a mapping I can see what I have typed into the
mapping so I can figure out what I did wrong if my mapping doesn't
work as expected the first time. Is it possible to do something like
this with a recorded macro?
I took the commands I have in a complex mapping and did them manually
with copy and paste within a record session. The recording worked up
to a point and then failed but I don't know where it failed and
without seeing the commands visually I have to redo the recording from
start to finish and hope I get it all done correctly. That is a pain.
Maybe I am thinking about this backwards. Maybe I should use macros
for the simple things and mappings for the more complex. I need to
figure out how to create scripts and functions and stuff like that.
This is what I found in usr_10.txt and repeat.txt following:
usr_10.txt
*10.1* Record and playback commands
The . command repeats the preceding change. But what if you want to do
something more complex than a single change? That's where command recording
comes in. There are three steps:
1. The q{register} command starts recording keystrokes into the register
named {register}. The register name must be between a and z.
2. Type your commands.
3. To finish recording, press q (without any extra character).
You can now execute the macro by typing the command @{register}.
Take a look at how to use these commands in practice. You have a list of
filenames that look like this:
stdio.h ~
fcntl.h ~
unistd.h ~
stdlib.h ~
And what you want is the following:
#include stdio.h ~
#include fcntl.h ~
#include unistd.h ~
#include stdlib.h ~
You start by moving to the first character of the first line. Next you
execute the following commands:
qa Start recording a macro in register a.
^ Move to the beginning of the line.
i#include EscInsert the string #include at the beginning
of the line.
$ Move to the end of the line.
aEsc Append the character double quotation mark ()
to the end of the line.
j Go to the next line.
q Stop recording the macro.
Now that you have done the work once, you can repeat the change by typing the
command @a three times.
The @a command can be preceded by a count, which will cause the macro to
be executed that number of times. In this case you would type:
3@a
MOVE AND EXECUTE
You might have the lines you want to change in various places. Just move the
cursor to each location and use the @a command. If you have done that once,
you can do it again with @@. That's a bit easier to type. If you now
execute register b with @b, the next @@ will use register b.
If you compare the playback method with using ., there are several
differences. First of all, . can only repeat one change. As seen in the
example above, @a can do several changes, and move around as well.
Secondly, . can only remember the last change. Executing a register allows
you to make any changes and then still use @a to replay the recorded
commands. Finally, you can use 26 different registers. Thus you can remember
26 different command sequences to execute.

Use registers in search and replace?
I would like to know if I can put the contents of a register on the RHS of a search and replace in a mapping. Or I would like to know if a visual mode used in a mapping can be accomplished based on the conditions. Example: a href=filenames1.htmlFilenames 1/a I need to be able to use visual mode to grab only the letters and not the numbers. File names can be from four letters and one number to 13 letters and 3 numbers. That makes doing this ^flvt.h impossible because it won't reach back far enough on a two or three digit number and trying to go back far enough for a three digit number will miss some letters on one less than three digit. Or use s/a href=\zsfilename\ze1/dump the contents of a register here/ If there is a help file that can show how to do one of these please point me to it. -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist.

Buffer-local unmap of global mapping
All, I've got several two-key global mappings for the CtrlP plugin: nnoremap C-PC-O :C-UCtrlPBufferCR nnoremap C-PC-P :C-UCtrlPCR [...] These mappings interact with plugins that provide buffer-local mappings that are prefixes of these multi-key mappings. For example, the Tagbar plugin defines a normal-mode buffer-local mapping for CTRL-P. The problem is that when I press CTRL-P in the Tagbar window, Vim assumes that it might be the prefix for the global mappings for CtrlP, so it waits for 'timeoutlen' before deciding to invoke the single-key buffer-local mapping for Tagbar. Because my preferred 'timeoutlen' is three seconds, this renders the buffer-local mapping essentially useless for me. My current work-around is to map the key CTRL-P to a prefix, then combine that prefix with other keys to make the final mappings, something like this: nmap C-P SIDCtrlP nnoremap SIDCtrlPC-O :C-UCtrlPBufferCR nnoremap SIDCtrlPC-P :C-UCtrlPCR This way, Vim won't see any multi-key mappings that begin with CTRL-P, so a buffer-local mapping of CTRL-P will execute without waiting for 'timeoutlen'. Is there a better way to handle this problem in general? I don't see a way to unmap the global mappings on a per-buffer basis, and I'd like to keep the global mappings in-place for most buffers while Tagbar is running so globally unmapping when Tagbar opens and restoring when it closes doesn't quite fit the bill, either.

Thanks, Michael Henry I don't have an answer, I think what you tried is the best you can get so far. But I agree, a general solution would be useful! Several plugins (buffer explorers, file explorers) define a lot of short keys (keys like `d' or `y'), but it's awkward to use them because they often wait for a longer global sequence (e.g. `ds', `ys' from surround.vim). First idea: add a new buffer-local option that, when enabled, means: Only check buffer-local mappings (not global mappings) when waiting for a complete left-hand-side. Using an option, the mechanism could be turned on and off (how would I otherwise access a global mapping?); (this is opposed to a new mapping modifier (next to buffer, silent,...)). -- Andy -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist.

Map control all error
Hey I'm trying to create a control all mapping with this: :map c-a escggvG However, the last line isn't selected. I know that G is the problem, what I would like to know is the key to get to EOF instead of the last line -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!

I know that G is the problem, what I would like to know is the key to get to EOF instead of the last line If you really want a character-wise selection, you can add $ to the end of your mapping. This will take you to the end of the last line. But you might want to have a look at the mappings found in the mswin.vim file distributed with Vim. For example, the Select all mappings are: CTRL-A is Select all noremap C-A gggHC-OG inoremap C-A C-OggC-OgHC-OG cnoremap C-A C-CgggHC-OG onoremap C-A C-CgggHC-OG snoremap C-A C-CgggHC-OG xnoremap C-A C-CggVG These use linewise selections which many people prefer.

Re: How can I make the found location of a search standout in GVIM?

How can I make it standout from the rest of the text such as blink, solid bright yellow, etc. I like Vim's 'hlsearch' option. You can enable it via: :set hlsearch This highlights the found text everywhere it is found in the file. To turn off highlighting until the next search, use: :noh See more in Vim's help: :help 'hlsearch' :help :noh Michael Henry -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!

Re: How to get to EOF, not last line ???

However, that way the last line of the file is not selected, which apparently is how G works. So, is there a key to use instead of G to reach the end of the file (EOF)? G does move to the last line. The problem is probably that you're using v (characterwise) instead of V (linewise). Try this: :map c-a escggVG If for some reason you would rather select characterwise, you could use this: :map c-a escgg^vG$ Regards, Gary -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist.
