I use signs usually only to display marks directly. I think there are several plugins for that functionality available, though I use my own. Theoretically you can also use signs, to color a buffer specially. I have done that before. And you can jump to signs using :sign jump BTW: I noticed some unexpected behaviour when writing savesigns.vba. Is this behaviour a feature or a bug? :redir => a | sil sign list | redir end (this errors "E155: Unknown sign: |") so one has to wrap this command into :redir => a | exe 'sil sign list' | redir end regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
