There is trick for periodic execution, involving K_IGNORE and feedkeys
[1].
In the lastest vim 7.2.141, I cannot make it to work anymore.
Timer() is executed only once, as seen from 'echo strftime' printout.
Can anybody confirm this ? Am I missing some global setting ?
'updatetime' is set to 200.

autocmd CursorHold * call Timer()
function! Timer()
   let K_IGNORE = "\x80\xFD\x35"   " internal key code that is ignored
   call feedkeys(K_IGNORE)
   echo strftime("%c") " this for debugging
endfunction

[1] http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Timer_to_execute_commands_periodically


I confirm as follows:

I tried

        :augroup clock
        :au CursorHold * call feedkeys("\x80\xFD\x35") | echon strftime('%c') " 
"
        :augroup END

both in gvim (with &enc == "utf-8") and in konsole (with &enc == "Latin1") and saw the datestamp displayed only once while I kept hands off the keyboard & mouse.

In both cases, Huge version 7.2.411, compiled with GTK2/Gnome2 GUI; 'updatetime' is set to 4000 (the default).


Maybe I missed something too?


Best regards,
Tony.
