Under the Macintosh header there seems to be lots of items which are obsolete or otherwise no longer relevant. Here's the entire list (my comments in square brackets): Macintosh: - GUI: gui_mch_browsedir() is missing. [???] 7 Patch to add 'transparency' option. Disadvantage: it's slow. (Eckehard Berns, 2004 May 9) http://ecki.to/vim/TransBack-2004-05-09.diff Needs more work. Add when someone really wants it. [DONE] 7 Loading the Perl library only works on OS/X 10.2 or 10.3, never on both. Load the Perl library dynamically see Python sources file dynload_mac (Jack) dynamic linking: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2064.html [???] 8 Inputting Unicode characters does not work in the terminal. They appear to arrive as upper and lower bytes. (David Brown, 2004 April 17) [DONE] 8 Typing Unicode characters doesn't work at all in the GUI. [DONE] 8 inputdialog() doesn't resize when giving more text lines. (David Fishburn, 2006 Sept 28) 9 Problems in Carbon version for OS X: (Benji Fisher) - keyboard shortcuts in the menus get lost. [NO LONGER RELEVANT] 8 The Vim/About menu doesn't work. [DONE] 8 ":gui" doesn't fork. Enabling the code in gui.c to fork causes a SEGV. [NO LONGER CAUSES ERROR - HANDLED AS A SPECIAL CASE?] 8 Define vim_mkdir() for Macintosh. [???] 8 Define mch_writable() for Macintosh. [???] 9 When DiskLock is running, using a swap file causes a crash. Appears to be a problem with writing a file that starts with a dot. (Giacalone) [???] 9 On G3 Mac, OS version 8, control strip causes characters messed up when scrolling (CTRL-L cleans it up). (Benji Fisher) [PRE-OSX NO LONGER SUPPORTED?] 9 On G3 Mac, OS version 8, variable-speed scrolling doesn't work, after two seconds of scrolling the screen freezes. (Benji Fisher) [PRE-OSX NO LONGER SUPPORTED?] 9 In mac_expandpath() check that handling of backslashes is done properly. [???] 8 Standard Mac shortcuts are missing. (Amerige) [DONE] 8 Handling of non-fixed width fonts is wrong. (Amerige) [DONE] Does the vim_mac crowd agree that most (all?) of these items no longer need to be on the todo list? Does anybody know about the ones I've marked "[???]"? Michael -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
