There can be a lot of software packages installed under /usr/local/* and some
of them may interfere with the building of vim.

As far as I'm concerned, my changes there are licensed as this:
https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-computer-settings/blob/2ad7e2335d5c031e930b742760bc215603d658a1/shlomif-settings/git/commit-messages/cc0-copyright-disclaimer.txt
However, the change is hacky and will likely break with a different version of
moonjit. It should be redone using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find_(Unix) or
similar.
Also note that I cannot push to git master so I'll have to open a pull request.

Yes, I'm sure. OK, I've now tried these two things: 1. Forwarding the sent email to the mailing list. It didn't arrive. 2. Subscribing to vim_use from my GMail account and posting a message using the Google Groups with a single link to a directory inside a GitHub repository (which I'm pretty sure is not spam). This message was eaten by the interface (though I was told it got sent but I cannot find it anywhere.). Did Google Groups jump the shark? If so, good luck on trying to get Google to remedy that - from my experience their customer service ranges from abysmal to non-existent. Perhaps the vim forums should be moved elsewhere.

I've written a few iabbreviations into my vimrc that act like snippets, but
they're pretty primitive compared to some of the available plugins (like
snipMate). I'm thinking about trying out snipMate, or something similar, and
I'm curious whether people find them a huge help, or something that can get
in the way. I've been trying to keep my setup somewhat minimal, but some kind
of snippet system would probably be a big help.
Just fishing for opinions! :)
Regarding the question at the /topic - Do most Vim users use snippets?, I
cannot answer this question because we have not done a definitive
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendum about that among Vim users, doubt
it's possible, and I'm not sure the subscribers of this mailing list are
representative of them.
In any case, I'm using UltiSnips and find it of utility quite often. For
example, when writing Perl 5, I can write _slurp and then tab to give me:
«
sub _slurp
{
my $filename = shift;
open my $in, '', $filename
or die Cannot open '$filename' for slurping - $!;
local $/;
my $contents = $in;
close($in);
return $contents;
}
»
Or I can write xsor+[Tab] and then type the name once and get something like:
«
sub _hello
{
my $self = shift;
if (@_)
{
$self-{_hello} = shift;
}
return $self-{_hello};
}
»
I still have not completely integrated UltiSnips into my workflow - for
example, I still fully type the if conditionals and while loops. But it's
still coming at utility.
Another place where I like UltiSnips is for HTML files. I can write lipa to
give me:
li
p
a href=... /a
/p
/li

It's easy enough for any community-edited page to become a mess, all it takes is a lot of drive by editing and not enough long-term maintainers. Right, and that's why I sometimes prefer a centrally managed static or mostly static HTML site, which I have control of, and which I can edit locally using Vim (or $EDITOR_OF_CHOICE), a nice terminal emulator (I'm using konsole) and shell (Bash in my case), and a nice version control system. Add to that that the MediaWiki syntax is horrible, and that the Wikimedia people have a separate mailing list for ranting about the horrible code and design of its parser. There are other problems with Wikis such as rampant spam, but Wikia appears to handle them pretty well so far (touch wood). In any case, adding a common navigation menu is easier in Jekyll than it would be in a Wikia MediaWiki instance that I don't control, but I guess I can contribute to http://vim.wikia.com/ as well.

I'm noting ideas for resources here: * https://bitbucket.org/shlomif/vim-begin/src/131c08549754e47c0ccf3cbdf202e6b6c0300172/vim-begin/jekyll-prototype/TODO.txt?at=default (short URL - http://is.gd/WtjpJE ). 4. I'm planning to continue working on it myself. --- The inspiration for the site is http://perl-begin.org/ , which I also created and still maintain. I registered the begin-site.org and begin-site.com domains to serve as placeholders for more sites like that, and will be happy to refer their sub-domains to similar sites (e.g: c.begin-site.org , cpp.begin-site.org , clojure.begin-site.org , python.begin-site.org , emacs.begin-site.org , cooking.begin-site.org , etc.). Some people on IRC told me there was a genuine need for a site like that about Vim, and since I like Vim so much I decided to go for it. Enjoy, and I hope to see you contributing. Regards, Shlomi Fish P.S: while they are still not there, I am planning on putting some 100% non-intrusive non-animated images http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Wonderful ads on the site, similar to what I have on http://www.shlomifish.org/ . I hope you will not be too offended by them, but you can use an ad blocker, or alternatively set up a mirror of the site under a different domain, without the ads. So I think it is fair, given that I pay for the domain and the hosting. -- - Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ My Public Domain Photos - http://www.flickr.com/photos/shlomif/ All language designers are arrogant.

Re: Announcement : http://vim.begin-site.org/ - The Vim Beginners' Site
Hi Mr. Weber, On Thu, 27 Dec 2012 00:42:32 +0100 Marc Weber marco-owe...@gmx.de wrote: great: we all can contribute you should mention why you have chosen to start a new site rather than using the existing wiki - and why you want to limit the contributable page to beginners. Which contributable page? In any case, while the wiki is a useful resource, as some people told me on IRC: the vim wiki is a mess, the help is too hard to navigate for newcomers Another problem with the wiki is that being hosted on Wikia, there are some intrusive ads by default. I've had the idea to start something similar, store all the contents in a git repo all users can access and contribute to, which is that similar to text that you can also read/grep/edit with vim. I store all the contents in a repository too - only in my case it is Mercurial and not git (Mercurial is a distributed version control system very similar to git). Perhaps I need to add a “Fork me on Bitbucket” strip like the shopworn “Fork my on GitHub one, but for now see: http://vim.begin-site.org/source/ Moreover the idea I had also included managing plugins by VCS repository url - so that the www.vim.org implementation could be replaced one day. Interesting. If you're interested in those goals to I'll point you to our document to which we've written our ideas (me and garbas that time). Sure, give us a link. It may provide some inspiration. I don't think Vim needs yet another page - it needs one which can be contributed to by users easily. Well, see: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=perl-petdance-thousand-flowers Anyway, it shouldn't be hard for clueful users to contribute content directly to the Vim-Begin, though at the moment it will require some more mental effort than using a web browser interface. It is certainly easier than tweaking the source of http://perl-begin.org/contribute/ which has quite a few dependencies. However its only my personal opinion. Your opinion still counts and it will provide some useful input.

Re: Screenplay-Text Syntax File Misbehaving

Hi all,
I prepared a partial syntax file for Screenplay-Text here:
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/web-cpan/XML-Grammar-Fiction/trunk/vi
m
It's attached to this message.
You can learn more about Screenplay-Text here - http://xrl.us/bjswbo .
Here are the homepages of the implementation:
http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/XML-Grammar/Fiction/
http://web-cpan.berlios.de/modules/XML-Grammar-Screenplay/
The problem is that when I edit a screenplay, often the highlighting of
the addressing disappears and other weird stuff happens and I don't know
what I'm doing wrong. I'm attaching here a sample screenplay (under
CC-by-sa). If I position the screen starting from line 7, and then I
travel with the cursor up and down, then I get that part of the
description (what comes between [ and ]) gets unhighlighted, and
lots of other stuff like that when editing a screenplay.
There are similar screenplays that exhibit similar problems here:
http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/stories/
Can anyone instruct me how to fix it?
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
No answers yet, so I have a few hints ...
You should add a syncing rule, for example
:syn sync minlines=50
:
:h :syn-sync
there are more methods!
Multi-line matches like the following
:syntax match screenplayTextComment /!--\_.\{-0,}--/
:syntax match screenplayTextDescription /^ *\[\_.\{-0,}\]/
are better written using :syn-region
:syntax region screenplayTextDescription start=^ *\[ end=]
etc.
Thanks! After I incorporated some of these suggestions, everything works much
better. I'm now thanking you in the source file. If you'd like me to include a
link to your homepage / blog / etc. in the source as well, please let me know,
and I'll be happy to do so.
This does nothing:
let b:current_syntax=ScreenplayText
runtime! syntax/xml.vim
... syntax/xml.vim immediately finishes when b:current_syntax is set.
Could be this was your way of commenting out the :runtime statement ...
I guess you will only want to borrow a few rules from the xml syntax
file and not include it completely.
I see, OK, I will.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
