Status line vs. CursorColumn in diff (or scrollbind?) mode

IMHO this is not a bug, just a quirk, maybe even a feature. In diff mode (or maybe whenever 'scrollbind' is set?), then in the windows other that the current one, the CursorColumn highlight doesn't move, but the status line follows the cursor movement in the current window, as follows: %c

Re: Vim 8.0 released!

In Vim 8.0.0003 ":echo v:version" answers 800 for me. Try recompiling from scratch (e.g. on Linux, "make reconfig", assuming your config options are set by environment strings, see http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm ). IIUC, on Windows the -B ("build") command-line switch

Re: Compiling Vim GUI on Ubuntu

P.S. On Linux, unlike on Windows, a single executable can run both as a GUI or as a console application, so if you build a gui-enabled vim, and install the correct symlinks (e.g. "pushd /usr/local/bin; ln -sv vim gvim; popd) you will be able to run the same executable in the console by calling it

French documentation gone AWOL

According to http://www.vim.org/translations.php the French translation of the Vim help is "complete". Alas, AFAICT, the site vim.dindinx.net where it used to be has gone missing. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply

Re: what does & mean in the vim command?

The f after and with no space between them means that the f is part of the {lhs} (q.v.): when you type F6 followed by f, Vim will execute the command :!firefox etc., starting Firefox and (as said above) not waiting for it to finish. Best regards, Tony. On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 5:01 AM, Sam IBM
