When coding, I often press ctrl-V, highlight a column of text of a certain height, then press "I" to insert (say) a comment delimiter or a line continuation flag character. This doesn't quite work on short rows of text that end before the column that I'm highlighting. I would like vim to

List of potential insert mode control character mappings?

Looking at insert.txt I saw this note: The following mappings are suggested to make typing the completion commands a bit easier (although they will hide other commands):

Can matchadd() highlight matches that start off-screen?

I used a matchadd() pattern to highlight functions that violate my team's coding standards by being too many lines. It works...but only if the first line of the function is currently visible in the window. As soon as I scroll the start of the match off-screen, the match disappears. Is there a

redirect output to a command line

I often want to query vim from a command line - so for example: vim --servername SWILSON --remote-send ':tabs' executes fine and displays the results in vim and i get nothing on the command line. I either want a simple shell style redirect (and then spit it out to $tty) or redirect to a buffer

Re: List of potential insert mode control character mappings?

I can appreciate your point of view, but I'm not at all comfortable using function keys: 1) They are way to far from home row 2) My muscle memory is inadequate (partly due to the distance) 3) Not all my regular keyboards have truly usable function keys (and layouts are inconsistent). > Ctrl-F

Some more to avoid that occur to me: More erminal characters C-H C-I C-J C-C C-[ Vim C-O C-R C-X Possible candidates C-D which would normally signal "end of file". Possibly a good candidate for a writequit mapping? C-F C-W possibly invoke window commands (mirrors normal commands?) C-G

gvim on cygwin/xfree inherits height of xterm

If I issue the the gvim command from an xterm, it has is bigger/taller than the the standard size that we have all come to know and love over the decades. Its size depends on the xterm that issued the command. If this is not the desired behaviour, is there a way to get gvim to default to its
