Thanks. That helped to reproduce the issue. Initially I simply tried
from insert mode with <c-o>:startreplace which worked.
The problem is, the startinsert command checks, if it is in one of the
insert modes and since replace and vreplace mode are all some kind of
insert mode, it returns early. The following patch fixes that problem,
by also considering the used ex commadn.
diff --git a/src/ex_docmd.c b/src/ex_docmd.c
--- a/src/ex_docmd.c
+++ b/src/ex_docmd.c
@@ -9546,7 +9546,9 @@ ex_startinsert(eap)
/* Ignore the command when already in Insert mode. Inserting an
* expression register that invokes a function can do this. */
- if (State & INSERT)
+ if ((State == INSERT && eap->cmdidx == CMD_startinsert)
+ || (State == REPLACE && eap->cmdidx == CMD_startreplace)
+ || (State == VREPLACE && eap->cmdidx == CMD_startgreplace))
return;
if (eap->cmdidx == CMD_startinsert)
By itself this doesn't fix the your problem, since Vim will remain in
the insert mode it was in the previous mode. This is, because in the
edit() function there is no code to check, that restart_edit changed. So
you still need to explicitly stop insert mode before starting another
edit mode.
That also explains, why it worked for you, when you changed tabs to the
one where you left Vim in normal mode.
You script therefore needs to be adjusted to
augroup TAB_MODES
au!
autocmd TabLeave * let t:lastmode = mode(1)
autocmd TabEnter * if !exists('t:lastmode') | let t:lastmode = 'n' | endif
autocmd Tabenter * stopinsert
autocmd TabEnter * if t:lastmode ==# 'i' | startinsert | endif
autocmd TabEnter * if t:lastmode ==# 'R' | startreplace | endif
autocmd TabEnter * if t:lastmode ==# 'Rv' | startgreplace | endif
augroup END
Best,
Christian
