command line history See VIM REFERENCE MANUAL > cmdline.txt --or-- :help :history :help q\: :help q\/ When using MacVim or terminal vim, I can use up-arrow to recall previous commands. Also :history, q: or q/ will open a window showing the previous commands. All this works in MacVim or terminal vim in the current session. The problem is after quitting MacVim, and starting again the commands issued in the previous session are no longer there, ie NOT saved. The terminal vim does save those commands in the file named .viminfo Using :history, q: or q/ with MacVim will show the items in .viminfo but new commands issued in MacVim are not persistent across sessions. -- Bill --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
