I spent a bit of time looking at this but it gets quite complicated
and I had
to move on to other things. For what it's worth here's what I found,
perhaps
someone else knows how to do it properly. I'm using Windows
GVim 7.3 patches 1-2.
Toolbar is configured in $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim
The hacky way to do what you want is to find these lines in that file
and
change the parameter from "an 1.40" to "an 10", then restart gvim:
" The GUI toolbar (for MS-Windows and GTK)
(a few lines below...)
if has("printer")
an 1.40 ToolBar.Print :hardcopy<CR>
vunmenu ToolBar.Print
vnoremenu ToolBar.Print :hardcopy<CR>
elseif has("unix")
an 1.40 ToolBar.Print :w !lpr<CR>
vunmenu ToolBar.Print
vnoremenu ToolBar.Print :hardcopy<CR>
endif
This is a bad idea since menu.vim may get replaced whenever a new
version of
vim is installed. It would be better to have some custom commands in
your own
_gvimrc file to re-configure the print button.
:help gui-toolbar
On that page there are various commands available for modifying menus
in
place. I tried adding this to my _gvimrc, the unmenu command works by
itself
in that the button disables (but doesn't disappear) but the other
commands
re-enable the button and do not move it:
unmenu ToolBar.Print
if has("printer")
an 10 ToolBar.Print :hardcopy<CR>
vunmenu ToolBar.Print
vnoremenu ToolBar.Print :hardcopy<CR>
elseif has("unix")
an 10 ToolBar.Print :w !lpr<CR>
vunmenu ToolBar.Print
vnoremenu ToolBar.Print :w !lpr<CR>
endif
I don't understand why this doesn't work because at this point I had
to give up.

Geoff
