Yes, we were discussing that in another thread. I thought of a solution, it's not completely finished yet: - Add the 'concealcursor' option. When on the cursor line is also concealed. It would be set in help files. - When moving the cursor around, the cursor line is always updated, also when moving horizontally. The cursor position is then corrected while redrawing, which is where we know what is concealed. - We probably should not conceal the cursor line in Insert mode. Possibly also not in Visual mode. - When searching or moving around vertically the cursor will show up in the right place. - When moving the cursor right-left it will "stick" in one position when going over concealed items. - When copying a word that is not next to concealed text it should work OK. When copying text just next to concealed text you don't know exactly what you will get. Adding the 'concealcursor' option, with the short name 'cocu', makes the short name for "conceallevel' a bit strange: 'conc'. I think it's better to rename it to 'cole'. Vince, any remarks? Perhaps 'concealcursor' should not be a boolean, but indicate the modes in which it's OK to conceal the cursor line, thus "nv" would mean to conceal the cursor line in Normal and Visual modes. Makes it more complicated to use though. We need to decide about this really soon, otherwise the Vim 7.3 release would be delayed. -- Veni, Vidi, VW -- I came, I saw, I drove around in a little car. /// Bram Moolenaar -- b...@moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
