Sorry, I tried to water down the issue to the point that I failed to
demonstrate the issue. The issue is:
*** It doesn't load the viminfo at all when I use use -u ***
I don't think any of my own .vimrc/.viminfo files are the issue. I tried to
prove this, below:
-----------------------------------------
myhost:~$echo > ~/.vimrc
myhost:~$cat ~/.viminfo
# This viminfo file was generated by Vim 7.4.
# You may edit it if you're careful!
# Value of 'encoding' when this file was written
*encoding=utf-8
# hlsearch on (H) or off (h):
~h
# Command Line History (newest to oldest):
:q
:history
# Search String History (newest to oldest):
# Expression History (newest to oldest):
# Input Line History (newest to oldest):
# Input Line History (newest to oldest):
# Registers:
# File marks:
# Jumplist (newest first):
# History of marks within files (newest to oldest):
myhost:~$vim -i ~/.viminfo
:history
# cmd history
2 q
> 3 history
myhost:~$vim -u ~/.vimrc -i ~/.viminfo
:history
'history' option is zero
------------------------------------------
As you can see, if I select my default .viminfo as the viminfo to load, it
works--as long as I didn't use -u. My .vimrc is empty, as I showed by creating
it from scratch above. But if I load it via -u, suddenly my history isn't
loaded from the viminfo.
The only difference between the two cases is I used "-u ~/.vimrc" in the case
where it fails, and I didn't in the case where it succeeds.
What am I missing?
I don't have any global vimrc etc., that I can see. But if I did, should -u
~/.vimrc change any of that vs. the default option to load ~/.vimrc?
This test was done with the following vim:
