I am using :startinsert! from my plugin to put the user in insert mode, but if the user doesn't type anything for 'updatetime' after this, no CursorHoldI event is generated. I tried doing an explicit :doauto right after :startinsert!, but Vim ignores it, probably because the command only schedules for an insert mode (doesn't immediate change it).
Note that the CursorMovedI gets triggered correctly in this case, but I don't want to use that as I don't want to know about every character that user types, but only when the user is holding. Any suggestions for a workaround? I have Vim7 upto the patch 146. -- Thanks, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
