I've expanded it a bit by changing the CursorHold to get rid of itself and restore the previous value of 'updatetime'. The following was added to your tip: " The following is a self destructive version of the " CursorHold autocmd. It also restores 'updatetime'. let s:Pecho='' fu! s:Pecho(msg) if &ut!=11|let s:hold_ut=&ut|let &ut=11|en let s:Pecho=a:msg aug Pecho au CursorHold * if s:Pecho!=''|echo s:Pecho \|let s:Pecho=''|let &ut=s:hold_ut|en \|aug Pecho|exe 'au!'|aug END|aug! Pecho aug END endf " Test of above au! BufEnter foo call s:Pecho("Entered foo") " Now even changing to "foo" in a different tab page " will print the message. -- Best regards, Bill
