Re: Specifying vim options in the files being edited

Just in case my answer will get you going a little quicker (because I've always found vim help useful, but it's a lot more useful to those who already know--I've scratched my head and had to experiment a lot for even simple things)... You can put these modelines at the top of your file or the

I get these all the time and, as far as I can tell, they are somewhat meaningless to me (maybe they mean something to vim list management) since, if I ignore them, I don't seem to be subject to any adverse consequences: I seem still to get the mail threads. Russ Max Dyckhoff wrote: Has

Re: Other European languages on a US keyboard

As you say, warning: off-topic post. Read at your own risk. This discussion underlines all the more strongly why I don't attempt to produce final documents using vim: I sometimes use an actual word processor like Open Office Writer, but mostly I write in HTML and, of course, the best HTML

Re: Other European languages on a US keyboard

Of course, we all realize that the original difference between AZERTY and QWERTY was the analyzed solutions to the problem of the likelihood of two typewriter hammers striking the platen in close enough succession that they would jam together and get stuck. Accents arose as a distinction only

Re: how to detect c99 vs c89 (//-comments vs /*-comments)

We keep hearing about how placing a modeline at the top of the file... Because I work in a multitabbed environment (i.e.: there are more than one tab standard), I have to use a modeline to sort out tabstop and shiftwidth. I put this modeline AT THE BOTTOM of my file where it works just fine
