Since the ruler is updated very frequently (for example in insert mode every keypress I take)... I prefer not to have even a "fast function" in my 'rulerformat'. Did you get 4ms from tests? Your first comment about how the autocmds cause baggage is ridiculous. I don't care so much about "let var += 1" running every half an hour when a new buffer is created. > > Or your map could also set a global variable to update your > ruler or statusline. That's true, but it would be unprofessional to have a constantly outdated variable appear on the ruler/statusline. I'm rather looking into trying to write a patch if people would confirm that these are actual bugs (with the BufAdd/BufDelete autocmds). > > -- > Best regards, > Bill > > --Matt
