I have the opinion that having 'wildignore' apply (they way it is now) is more consistent with the behavior of file completion, glob expansion (:arg foo*), and interactive use of Vim. This is mostly from a consistency / mental model point of view; I have rarely used backtick expansion so far, anyhow. The issue is that some plugin writers have used backtick expansion as a workaround for the mentioned bugs in fnameescape(). I think these bug(s) should rather be addressed, and fnameescape() should be the canonical way for use in scripts, as intended. (I also find it way more expressive that the backtick hack.) > BTW, fnameescape() have bugs that wasn't fixed yet on windows. > > https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!msg/vim_dev/sTfkV2vcBoI/CckA_gxvYQsJ > > On windows, we can't open file or directory that contains !, [][] in filename. -- regards, ingo -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
