Having recently dredged this topic up again - what is the current state of plan? Are we happy we have a working model of how things will work and are just awaiting time to write some code, or are there still questions lingering about?
I'm just prompted by again another question in #vim on the subject: ---- (15:23) <plwert> I've mapped <M-PageDown> to gt and <M-PageUp> to gT, yet all alt-pageup does is screw up the current line in strange ways. (15:23) <plwert> my guess is this is a terminal issue, but I'm not really sure how to fix this (15:25) <LeoNerd> Yup. it is (15:37) <plwert> what is the problem, though? Alt? (15:37) <LeoNerd> Hrm? (15:38) <LeoNerd> The problem is Vim doesn't recognise it. It needs to be taught (15:38) <LeoNerd> :set or map (15:40) <graywh> but :set <PageDown>=^[[6;*~ should be sufficient ... (15:43) <plwert> it's still capitalising the three letters under the cursor (15:43) <plwert> (with set <PageDown>=^[[6;*~ and map <M-PageDown> gt) (15:43) <LeoNerd> Not sure how well * is implemented, and how it works (15:43) <LeoNerd> That is an escape ^[ yes, not literal caret openbracket ---- I'm hoping for a day when such questions are no longer required; when things will Just Work without any intervention. I know how technically easily it is possible; we just need to find the way that is politically acceptable by all parties... -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [email protected] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
