You can configure powerline so that it does not need fonts. Also Gentoo portage (not VAM) with ebuild from raiagent overlay will install some fonts for you (note: setup to get fonts working cannot be performed by pip. Full setup requires fontconfig and/or terminal configuration.). I never had much problems with my current terminal emulator thus happened to forget how much issues about urxvt we had in our bug tracker. Command-T compilation is automated by VAM, YCM compilation may be (but currently nobody have written appropriate spec). > About dropping Vimscript support, I just realized how dumb the idea is.

I think its about time scopes are created for plugins like "preview-latex" in Vim. Its impossible in terminal vim, but shouldn't be impossible on GVim. > > Argument number 5 was about opening up documentation where I am editing. If you ever use YouCompleteMe or Jedi-vim, you will see that they provide pydoc documentation to the buffer I am editing. The popup contains the completion data, but the documentation is displayed at a split at Top. But it would be much better if the documentation was provided at the point where I am editing, so that I don't need to move my eyes from one place to another. > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. > Do not top-post!
