I'm not exactly a console person, but I like to do in the console anything that is going to be more efficient done that way, and in my case, that implies console vim versus gvim. I prefer console vim because in my terminal emulator fonts are more readable than in gvim and in addition to that it is faster (specially scrolling) and marginally smaller. > In the way I'm used to work, I use a program, I use <C-z> to interrupt > it, I do some series of commands, and then I 'fg' to get back to it. > Vim should not be an exception.

I use console vim but I use it windowed in a terminal emulator, so I never suspend it. Whenever I need to do another thing I open a new tab in my terminal emulator, do the job and if I need it I go back and forth between vim and any other app/tab. > Plus, I don't especially need gvim's features (the only thing I would > be glad to have is balloon tips, but I live without it). The only *real* gvim feature it's the GUI. Any other thing (including menus!) you have in console vim. For me, console vim is not the small brother of GUI vim, it's more the opposite ;) since my console vim is faster. Anyway, I understand your point since I prefer console vim over gvim. In your case, it's a matter of finding if your console driver or terminal emulator supports FocusLost and FocusGain. Looks like my terminal emulator (libvte based) doesn't detect that :?? Is there a fast way of knowing if some event is available? I'm using ":au FocusGained * echoerr A", but I don't know if it is a good way... -- Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
