Can't type Czech character u with ring above + entering unicode is broken
Hello,
Could someone please post an answer to my struggle
with entering Czech with the new gvim 7.4 on Windows 7
on Stack Exchange's Super User group/forum:
http://superuser.com/questions/668720/czech-language-input-method-and-font-support-in-gvim-7-4-on-windows-7
The contents of that post follow:
--
I would like to reopen a question related to the following:
(Czech) character set support in gvim 7.3 on Windows 7
Basically, in that post I noticed that some Czech characters were being
displayed as black squares. So I posted the question and noticed that the
problem seemed to go away by changing the font. I thought that solved the
problem because the characters in the file I was using displayed correctly.
However, I have noticed the following: while some Czech characters display
correctly by changing the font from the Gvim menu, others do not display
correctly:
For instance when I paste the character Ů (Latin capital letter u with ring
above) or ů (Latin small letter u with ring above), no font displays the
resulting character correctly. For instance, the Fixedsys font displays a black
square and a small u, respectively, while Lucida Console displays a capital U
and a small U, respectively. I have tried all fonts available from the gvim
drop-down menu, and none seem to work for this particular case.
The problem does not end here. The input method for unicode characters produces
the wrong characters:
CTRL-V u0160 should produce the Czech character (Š) but the backquote (') is
inserted instead. CTRL-V u016e should produce the Czech character (Ů) but the n
character (n) is inserted instead. And the list goes on.
As if that were not enough, there is a list of alternative input method key
combinations at the following site (which is a list of digraphs):
http://code.google.com/p/vim/source/browse/runtime/doc/digraph.txt
but despite having the latest verion of gvim, when I type :digraphs, this
list does not show up. Only the old list from gvim 7.3 shows up, which does not
include these.
For instance CTRL-K U0 and CTRL-K u0 both produce the character zero instead of
the following:
Ů U0 016E 0366 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE
ů u0 016F 0367 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE
To summarize, despite gvim 7.4 being recently released, none of the distributed
fonts are compatible with the Czech language, inserting unicode via CTRL-V
seems to produce the wrong characters, and digraph support is incomplete.
Thank you for your answers.

My comment about doing it manually was because your initial problem description gave NO indication as to where ch007 came from, nor how you wanted to insert it. Actually, you STILL give zero indication how you want to insert it. How do you determine where in the line to insert the number? To get everything ready for insertion, do: :redir = var :1,.s/^# //n :redir END :let @=ch.printf(%03d,(substitute(var, '^\(\d\+\).*', '\1', '')-1))..html Now you can paste with p and you'll get ch007.html or similar at the cursor.

Save default font on Gvim on Windows 7.
On Windows 7 it is impossible to save the default Gvim font from the Gvim program. Closing Gvim will cause it to completely forget about all font settings, and it is not possible to set them in the _vimrc file. Has this been fixed in Gvim 7.4 or does this bug persist? Or does anyone know of a better way to set the default font? Cause the FixedSys font sucks as it cannot display Czech characters, and I don't want to have to go to the menu to change it every time I open a file that contains Czech characters.

Patch for tagselect.vim
I just started using Hari Krishna Dara's tagselect.vim plugin. It captures the output of the :tjump and :tselect commands and displays them in a buffer so that you can more easily search and navigate the list. I noticed that every now and then, instead of jumping directly to a single tag, the Tjump command would open a window containing just the name of the command and the name of the file being jumped to. I tracked the problem down to the test at line 14 of TagSelectMain(): This means, there was only one hit, and Vim must have already jumped to the jump. Don't do anything else. if a:cmd =~ 'jump' results =~ '^\_s*$' return 0 endif As the comment says, this test should succeed if Vim has already jumped to the jump. However, in Vim 7.4 (and Vim 7.2), if the jump is to a file not already opened, Vim prints the name of the opened file after it is opened and this name goes into the 'results' variable, causing the test to fail. I noticed that this file name is always enclosed in double-quotes, so I fixed the problem by changing the test to this: if a:cmd =~ 'jump' results =~ '^\_s*$\|^\_s*' A patch is attached. I sent the above problem description to the author a week ago and have not received a reply. The latest version of the plugin, 1.2.0, was last changed in June of 2005 and still contains a TODO list, which suggests that the author has stopped working on it and has probably stopped supporting it. In fact, I haven't seen anything from Hari Krisha Dara on the vim_use or vim_dev lists in years. He used to be a regular, active contributor. So it seems we are back to discussing what to do with abandoned plugins. Does anyone know what happened to Hari Krishna Dara? Any suggestions for what should be done with tagselect.vim? Is there a better plugin for this purpose that I've missed? Regards, Gary -- -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!

On windows I would use ... :cDEFAULT though. :cANSI is IMHO needlessly limited and, taking it at face value, it conflicts with using any codepoint above U+007F, including not only non-Latin letters but even accented letters as used in practically every language other than English (and even in English, my Oxford's Dictionary lists some words with accented letters like garçon, cliché, risqué, øre, and more). The 'guifont' setting has a number of different incompatible settings. If you only use Vim on Windows this is not of much concern to you, but there are at least two very different formats in current use on Linux, and there used to be one more.

I'm not sure but I think the problem is that the spellchecker only works
between \begin{document} and \end{document}.
This wouldn't be problematic if I have a single latex file,
but for big latex projects it is common practice to split them
across files.
Personally I think it would be best if spell checking was enabled everywhere,
except inside a command. So \ref{ref} and \cite{citation},
begin{things} should be ignored
and everything else should be spellchecked.

Re: Insert comand output on current text
Ben has answered your question directly (I want to write the output of ...)
using redir, but a more natural (to me) approach for this would be (assuming
you want the ch007.html text at the current line)
:let n = -1
:1,.g/^# /let n += 1
''
:put =printf('ch%03d.html, n)
The :g leaves the cursor at the last match so '' is used to go back to where
you started. (C programmers know about printf, but in case you don't %03d
means print an integer in a field 3 characters wide with leading zeroes.)

Re: Can't type Czech character u with ring above + entering unicode is broken

Hello,
Could someone please post an answer to my struggle
with entering Czech with the new gvim 7.4 on Windows 7
on Stack Exchange's Super User group/forum:
http://superuser.com/questions/668720/czech-language-input-method-and-font-support-in-gvim-7-4-on-windows-7
The contents of that post follow:
--
I would like to reopen a question related to the following:
(Czech) character set support in gvim 7.3 on Windows 7
Basically, in that post I noticed that some Czech characters were being
displayed as black squares. So I posted the question and noticed that the
problem seemed to go away by changing the font. I thought that solved the
problem because the characters in the file I was using displayed correctly.
However, I have noticed the following: while some Czech characters display
correctly by changing the font from the Gvim menu, others do not display
correctly:
For instance when I paste the character Ů (Latin capital letter u with ring
above) or ů (Latin small letter u with ring above), no font displays the
resulting character correctly. For instance, the Fixedsys font displays a black
square and a small u, respectively, while Lucida Console displays a capital U
and a small U, respectively. I have tried all fonts available from the gvim
drop-down menu, and none seem to work for this particular case.
The problem does not end here. The input method for unicode characters produces
the wrong characters:
CTRL-V u0160 should produce the Czech character (Š) but the backquote (') is
inserted instead. CTRL-V u016e should produce the Czech character (Ů) but the n
character (n) is inserted instead. And the list goes on.
As if that were not enough, there is a list of alternative input method key
combinations at the following site (which is a list of digraphs):
http://code.google.com/p/vim/source/browse/runtime/doc/digraph.txt
but despite having the latest verion of gvim, when I type :digraphs, this
list does not show up. Only the old list from gvim 7.3 shows up, which does not include
these.
For instance CTRL-K U0 and CTRL-K u0 both produce the character zero instead of
the following:
Ů U0 016E 0366 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE
ů u0 016F 0367 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE
To summarize, despite gvim 7.4 being recently released, none of the distributed
fonts are compatible with the Czech language, inserting unicode via CTRL-V
seems to produce the wrong characters, and digraph support is incomplete.
Thank you for your answers.
Works for me on Linux with gvim 7.4.055 for GTK2/Gnome2, :set
guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 8 encoding=utf-8
Warning: The 'guifont' setting for GTK2 is extremely different from that
for Windows, see the link at the bottom of this post to understand how
they match.
This could be a font problem or an encoding problem, or even a 'guifont'
parameter problem. Or it could be any combination of the three.
First, the encoding problem: Make sure you set 'encoding' to UTF-8 at
startup without losing reciprocal understanding with the OS, see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Working_with_Unicode
Second, check your 'guifont' setting. On Windows, I recommend ending it
with :cDEFAULT (not :cEASTEUROPE and certainly not :cANSI) in order to
leave Vim the widest freedom possible in choosing the family of fonts
that fits your needs best.
Third, the font problem. If, after fixing both of the above if they
needed it, you still find that none of the installed fonts (as shown by
:set gfn=* without the quotes) fits your needs, don't panic! There are
lots of TrueType and OpenType fonts available for free all over the Net,
and some of them are even monotype fonts (which is the only kind that
Vim will accept). There are so many, and at so varied places, that I
can't even start listing them. Maybe Google can be your friend in this case.
See also http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI
And if, after doing your best to fix all three of the above to the best
of your abilities, you still have the problem, well again, do like
hitch-hikers in the Galaxy: Don't panic! Come back here, and tell us
blow-by-blow all that you did and what the results were after each step.
Best regards,
Tony.

Re: Save default font on Gvim on Windows 7.
Thanks for the clarification. Is there a place where I can find the string to substitute in place of YourFontSettingHere though? Do I need to enclose the string in double quotes or use some other quotation mechanism? I would like to use the Lucida Console font with a Normal font style and a size of 14. Exactly how do I specify these? Thanks a lot!

On windows I would use ... :cDEFAULT though. :cANSI is IMHO needlessly limited and, taking it at face value, it conflicts with using any codepoint above U+007F, including not only non-Latin letters but even accented letters as used in practically every language other than English (and even in English, my Oxford's Dictionary lists some words with accented letters like garçon, cliché, risqué, øre, and more). I chose Courier_New for my Windows font setting specifically because it contains glyphs for some Unicode codepoints not in Fixedsys, which I otherwise like. I just copied the cANSI part from someplace; I don't remember where. If using cDEFAULT will make even more codepoints available, that would be great. I'll try it when I get to work on Monday.

Closing Gvim will cause it to completely forget about all font settings, and it is not possible to set them in the _vimrc file. Has this been fixed in Gvim 7.4 or does this bug persist? Or does anyone know of a better way to set the default font? Cause the FixedSys font sucks as it cannot display Czech characters, and I don't want to have to go to the menu to change it every time I open a file that contains Czech characters. Thanks. Setting guifont in the _vimrc works just fine in Vim 7.4 on Windows 7. I've been using 7.4 since it came out of beta on Windows 7, and I set my font to DejaVu Sans Mono in my _vimrc. To set the font, I always use: :set guifont=* This brings up a dialog for me to select the font as I like it. Then I can :echo getfontname() to see what that turns into as a Vim option value. -- -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist. Do not top-post!

jump to true beginning of line

I know 10gg and :10 but both of those take me to the first non-whitespace character of the line rather than the 0th character. Not that I know of out of the box, but if you're okay with typing 2 characters anyway (gg), you can use 10G0 which does a 10G to go to the given line, then 0 to go the to first (your 0th) column. This could be mapped something like :nnoremap G G0 Despite its description in the help, 'nostartofline' doesn't seem to respect being in the first column if your jump lands you on a line with leading whitespace. I tested this with 'nosol' set ad line 19 containing leading indentation before characters. Going to the first column of a previous line and issuing 19G landed me on the first character on line 19 after the indent, not the first column as I would have expected. -tim -- -- You received this message from the vim_use maillist.
