Hello, Two questions on Stack Overflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9466795/vim-using-an-external-command-and-handling-errors http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13658696/vim-how-to-redirect-formatprg-errors-to-echoerr inquire why, when the external command in 'formatprg' or 'indentprg' fails, the error output is inserted into the buffer (okay, this is due to the default 'shellredir' including 2>&1), instead of keeping the buffer contents and showing the returned stderr output via :echoerr. Although the bad substitution can be easily undone, I wonder why there isn't a more convenient behavior; I cannot imagine a situation where modifying the text through an executable that returns an exit status != 0 is desirable. Shouldn't = and gq observe v:shell_error and abort the command when there's an error?! -- regards, ingo -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
