Yes, but how do you make sure the interval is ever checked? IIRC CursorHold[I] events don't get triggered when vim doesn't have the focus. And you don't know which value 'updatetime' has. If you check only when the password is accessed, somebody could use the :debug trick even hours/days after you last used the password. BTW I would really like to see timer events that get triggered even when vim is in the background. I started writing a kind of PIM plugin but stopped at about 80% because I didn't have the time to find a way to reliably show alarms in a cross-platform manner. But this is a different subject of course. thomas. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
