Re: What happened to "Search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP"?

[ds]

Hi!


Speaking of this " W' indicator, why was it chosen to _add_ it to the 
'[N/M]' string instead of _prepending_ "W " before one? 

The point is, if _appended_, then at the moment of wrapping, the expected 
position of '[N/M]' changes slightly to the left, which isn't exactly nice 
(like, why the information is jumping in front of our eyes, etc). While if 
_prepended_, the counter itself stays exactly where it was, and only this 
sign "W" appears on the left. Don't know if I'm right or wrong here but I 
personally certainly like the prepended option better.

If you agree, then here's a patch for src/search.c, which seems to fix it 
(I'm not a programmer, I also don't know ANYTHING about C at all, and these 
few lines here may be completely wrong and stupid, so, please, feel 
absolutely free to change it if needed):


5014c5014,5017
< STRCPY(t + len, " W");
---
> char t_tmp[len + 2];
> STRCPY(t_tmp, t);
> STRCPY(t + 0, "W ");
> STRCPY(t + 2, t_tmp);

Re: Overwriting an autocmd for a particular filetype

[ds]

Christian, thanks for your reply!

What would you say about such a scheme:

First, I have this defined in my .vimrc:

```VIMRC```
augroup MyAutoCmd
autocmd!
autocmd MyORIGINALFancyAutoCmdHere
augroup END
```VIMRC END```

Second, these triggers are present in the filetype-specific settings

```after/ftplugin/somefiletype.vim```
function! NewCmdOn()
augroup MyAutoCmd
autocmd!
autocmd MyNEWFancyAutoCmdHere
augroup END
endfunction
autocmd! BufEnter,WinEnter,TabEnter  call NewCmdOn()

function! NewCmdOff()
augroup MyAutoComp
autocmd!
autocmd MyORIGINALFancyAutoCmdHere
augroup END
endfunction
autocmd! BufLeave,BufDelete  call NewCmdOff()
```after/ftplugin/somefiletype.vim END```

Now, upon entering the filetype-specific buffer, the original autocmd defined 
in .vimrc will be reset and overwritten with the new one. And if leaving this 
filetype-specific buffer, it will be reset again, and then overwritten with the 
original one. Am I right? BufLeave and BufDelete should cover all the cases, or 
should I consider adding WinLeave, TabLeave, etc, too?


Thanks!

Overwriting an autocmd for a particular filetype

[ds]

Hi!


Let's say I have an autocmd defined in my .vimrc, which applies to every 
possible buffer (autocmd-pattern is set to *). Now, is there any way to 
override this autocmd only for a particular filetype? I mean, to disable this 
"general" autocmd and to use another one instead? With the help of 
after/ftplugin, probably?

(Wrapping this autocmd in augroup, and then resetting it in 
after/ftplugin/myfiletype.vim with autocmd! overwrites it globally, of course. 
Is there a less destructive way? Would be grateful for a hint :)


Thanks.

"zz" vs ":echo"

[ds]

Hi!

I noticed quite a strange situation when centering text somehow suppresses the 
echo output. 

Since it all sounds rather weird, I created a reproducible example here: 
https://pastebin.com/F08V77Av – you can download the file, open it with vim -u 
NONE, source it then, go to line number 13, and start pressing the j key, – and 
as soon as you'll reach the middle of your screen, and the text will actually 
start scrolling, the echom output will be suppressed.

Why is that? And is there any workaround?

Thanks!

Re: Help needed on terminal mappings

[ds]

Speaking of ... My terminal (iTerm.app on macOS) sure does 
distinguish  from  (cat reports ^[[1;9D for the former, and ^[[D 
for the latter), my Vim does understand those keys, too, and I have the 
following in my $VIMRC (which works perfectly):

```
" go to the previous word
nnoremap [1;9D 
inoremap [1;9D 
xnoremap [1;9D 
cnoremap [1;9D 
" go to the next word
nnoremap [1;9C 
inoremap [1;9C 
xnoremap [1;9C 
cnoremap [1;9C 
```

But unfortunately :terminal fails to separate those, and cat reports ^[[D for 
both  and .

Having that in mind, the solution you provided allows to map  or 
 but not . What do you think, is there any way to fix that?


Thanks,

because I'm a bit tired reading w/ 'less'.

on a more serious note I may only say that since vim has incredible 
opportunities for manipulating text it seems only logical for me to 
reformat ebooks w/ vim for easier reading (i.e., make shorter lines, 
highlight bold text, quotes, etc, etc). and if already using vim for 
preparing text, I see absolutely no reason to go for another tool for 
reading (I personally have vim running all the time in screen, and 
definitely has more than one buffer open -- so why not to dedicate one for 
a book?).
