When Vimming a number of wildly disparate textfiles, each with a single custom processing requirement, it would be absolutely ideal to set makeprg (or equivalent) in a modeline. But for makeprg that is verboten: "This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for security reasons."
Mind you, here there is no such security concern - whether any command is run by ":!" or makeprg makes no real difference, so I'm not entirely sure why one would impose the clumsiness of having to insert ":!groff -k -Tpdf -ms -m hdtbl -dpaper=a4 -P-pa4 % > /tmp/vde.pdf" or whatever another file needs? So is there a file-local way to just alias e.g. ^m to a shell command, **in the modeline**? That would be much faster to invoke, and not muck with makeprg. Vim can do everything; it's finding the clue in the :help that is the challenge, even going in with a packed lunch. Erik -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
