Just to experiment, here's what I did:
The version of calendar.vim that works for me is 1.3r
1) :nmap <rightmouse> :CalendarH<cr>
2) In calendar.vim, near line 830 there are a bunch of setlocal
commands. I modified calendar.vim by adding the following
line at the end of that bunch of setlocals
nmap <buffer> <space> :q!<cr>
3) Ensured that this file was sourced.
A) Then I right clicked, and hit space to make the calendar come
up and disappear.
Continuing with the experiment,
4) Inside function! Calendar(...) and before the section:
"++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"+++ build window
"++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I added the lines:
echo vdisplay1
return''
5) Ensured that this file was sourced.
B) Then I right clicked, and hit space to make the calendar come
up and disappear.
I find that B is much faster than A for both display and exit.
One can guess why A is slower for display, but why is it slow
for exit too?
