Than you, John. And could you say, how to set this flag automatically
for readonly buffers.
It is possible, but maybe not desired:
- If only 'readonly' is set, you can modify the buffer (Vim will warn
you the first time IIRC) but not save it without either a bang (as in
:w!) or a name change (as in :saveas barfoo)
- If 'nomodifiable' is set, you cannot even modify the buffer: this is
used e.g. for helpfiles.
If you force 'ma' to always be the converse of 'ro' you lose the
possibility to (a) modify a readonly file then save it with a different
name, or (b) edit a file which is readonly on disk (has no w permission
on Unix, or has an R flag on FAT filesystems).
If you really want to do it (which I don't recommend) you could do it as
follows:
:au BufReadPost * if &l:ro | setlocal noma | endif
AFAIK there's no way to intercept the case where you set 'readonly'
manually: you will have to train yourself to do ":setlocal ro noma"
(without the quotes of course) instead of just ":setlocal ro".
Best regards,
Tony.
