 In it you will find a file 'test.txt' which is UTF8 and will tell you how

 I can confirm the problem (on Linux, GTK2, enc=utf-8, vim 7.0.000).
Maybe I can get the offending characters to the list.  The following
should be a no-op:

:s/.*/

but it is not on the following line of voweled Hebrew:

I notice other problems.  For example, $ (in Normal mode) takes me to
the fifth character.  (With 'ruler' set, I see 17-5 in the status line.)
Maybe there is a null byte in the fifth or sixth multi-byte character?

I think $ and ruler are working correctly; the other 'characters' are
combining characters and you cannot navigate to them directly.  But if you
do 'ga' on the second character, you'll see it's composed of two
characters (05dc and 05b0).

Thanks for verifying the problem isn't just my builds :)



vim patch: fixing resetting dictionary function

2006-05-18 Thread Richard Emberson

In the following I am creating a dictionary, associating a function
with the dictionary and then reassociating a new function
with the name of the original function.

Try this without the fix and you get:
ADD
n=9
Error detected while processing /home/emberson/vim/foo.vim:
line   14:
E475: Invalid argument: 1
ADD
n=9

Note that 1 is the index of the function in the dictionary.

Try it with the fix you get:
ADD
n=9
MULTIPLY
n=20

script:

let x = {}

function x.foo(a,b) dict
echo ADD
return a:a + a:b
endfunction

let n = x.foo(4,5)
echo n= . n

function! x.foo(a,b) dict
echo MULTIPLY
return a:a * a:b
endfunction

let n = x.foo(4,5)

 Does vim provide any form of native support for drawing tables?
 
 I have tried a couple of plugins and they don't seem to play well with
 my setup, presumably because I have temporarily switched my locale back
 from UTF-8 to en_US (due to problems with other applications that do are
 not yet utf8-ready).
 
 When in UTF-8 I was able to manually draw nice-looking tables to dress
 up text that I had previously formatted in rows and columns by using
 digraphs (Ctrl+K hh/vv etc..) and though there were some issues with
 printing I was all-in-all quite happy. 
 
 The functionalities I had in mind would probably do something like this:
 
 1. Assist text entry by letting you define tab stops,
 2. Let you select a column of text and justify it, 
 3. Provide some means of inserting vertical lines at each tab stop,
 4. Assist in creating horizontal lines by adding the ad hoc character
where a vertical and a horizontal line intersect, 
 5. Reformat the table frame when box drawing characters are not
available (replacing line intersections by '+' for instance).
 
 But then again I have little experience with vim and there is probably
 a vim way of doing this that I have not even imagined. So I am open
 to better strategies.

 You mention trying some plugins, but you did not say which ones, so
I do not know if you have already tried these suggestions.

 For (1) see my other post on this thread.  I think that Dr. C's
Align plugin can do (2) and his DrawIt plugin can help with the rest.

clearing the command line

I''ve been chasing this for a while, so I might as well ask, even
though it seems like a stupid question.  What's the right way to clear

Everything I try eventually fails when the command line has been
scrolled/grown upwards by output longer than cmdheight.  I can't see
the exact rule, since some things like:

   echo :CR

   normal :

etc., come close, but no cigar.

When output was longer than cmdheight, if you look at the sceen

see it's shifted upward in a manner that never

I think redraw is the only way out of this.

Vim7 - intellisense problem

2006-05-18 Thread Dan Clarke
In my workplace, our coding standard states that we have to declare our 
variables on the next line from the variable type.  The intellisense in 
vim7 doesn't work when it's like this.


For example ...


typedef struct
{
int
i;
}my_structure;

void main (void)
{
my_structure
var1;

my_structure var2;

var1. this doesn't work
var2. this does work
}



I guess we're not the only place that declares variables over multiple 
lines.


Any way I can get around this?  Would be really nice to get intellisense 
working for our projects.

 If you only use / and not ? then

:cmap C-N CR/Up
:cmap C-P C-CN/Up

should work.  If you want it to work with both / and ?, you have to work
a little harder.  Try this:

  if getcmdtype() == /
cmap PlugNext CR/up
  elseif getcmdtype() == ?

That's true in some, but not all cases, which is what gives me any
hope.  For example,

let cmdheight = 1
exe normal :echo\cr
let cmdheight = s:tmp_cmdheight

works when the statusbar has been pushed up a small number of lines.
It seems to know how to recover without a full redraw.  If it gets
pushed up even more, then it fails to clear.

The command also doesn't reflect the pushed position of the
statusline, so there's no way to put a case for it in the script that
way.

Rats.  This works only if you set the @/ variable first by hitting
return normally, which will highlight the pattern, then subsequence ^X
or ^Y will move to the right pattern.

Benji's simple example has the same problem if you start with c-p

These come close, but the first time you use them, they do something
slightly different than subsequent times.  ^R go up *2* matches, and
^S just goes to what looks like the current match (i.e. it doesn't
appear to move).  It's all a problem of where the cursor actually is
v.s. where the highlighting is for incsearch.

In an indirect way, sort of, yes. You need to, first, pull all history
lines (using either redir+:history, or using histget() function), and second,
filter out lines not beginning with '!'. Finally, you'd add resulting lines
into temp buffer for viewing. Is this what you are looking for ?

 ^E and ^Y will move the visual window by one line.  Comes in handy to
 adjust the screen to center a block of text.

Also very handy are these keyboard sequences:

z. put line-with-cursor in middle of screen
zCR  put line-with-cursor at top of screen
z- put line-with-cursor at bottom of screen

Yes it opens one GUI window split in two for me. Does not
open 2nd blank window for me, no.

Something is broken in your environment, roberto. 6.3 is old.
Maybe it's time to install vim6.4 or vim7. Try to check on
another machine in your neighborhood. Looks like something

Well, how do you invoke it? I woiuld expect that invoking Vim just once 
with a -S argument would have it open what is known in vimspeak as two 
windows, i.e., one window (as you name them) split in two.


See :help -S

Oops... I searched for scripts and didn't find anything dealing with

maps Tab to insert the right number of spaces.

I am attaching the plugin, and hope to get some feedback. You need

   - Use STEdit to bring up an editor for setting soft-tab stops (or to just
 view them). You would see two lines, one with numbers to guide you, and
 another to show the current tab stops. Use space bar or click with left
 mouse button to toggle tabstops. You can of course use any editor command
 to mark tabstops by replacing the space with a v (or even save/compose
 your tabstop lines somewhere and replace the whole line here). To save
 changes at the end, use :wq command (or just :w, to leave the window
 open).
   - Use STTgl to toggle using tabstops.
 TODO:
   - More testing.
   - A command to reset tab stops.
   - A command to add a tabstop at the current cursor position.
   - Do more with tabstops (investigate).

  Keep in mind that it doesn't work the same with a selection made by

 Ok, this was the problem.  I was using select mode rather than visual mode,
 and it was behaving exactly as you described.  If I select the text, then
 hit ^gol^c, I can finally select all text, including the last character. 
Yay!

 Not exactly the easiest key sequence, but at least I can make it work now.

If this worksout for you, try creating a map, something like:

vnoremap F12 C-GolC-C

or even, C-C itself to be:

vnoremap C-C C-GolC-C

You might even be able to map the LeftRelease to do this
automatically, not sure how you have selection mode setup, but if you
give your settings, I can try to get a mapping work for you.

  If you only use / and not ? then

 :cmap C-N CR/Up

 should work.  If you want it to work with both / and ?, you have to work
 a little harder.  Try this:

 cmap C-N C-R=Next()CRPlugNext
 fun! Next()
   if getcmdtype() == /
 cmap PlugNext CR/up
   elseif getcmdtype() == ?
 cmap PlugNext CRNN?Up
   else
 cmap PlugNext Nop

 The other direction is left as an exercise.

 HTH   --Benji Fisher


The problem with this approach is that you can't cancel out of the
search prompt and expect to be back at the original cursor position.
Also, C-N is now lost for other modes, though you can fix that problem
using the new expr map (see below), but may I first suggest you try my
chcmdmode.vim plugin? I have the ^S at search prompt to do just this,
and I have a few more maps that could be useful for you too.

Now, back to improving what Benji suggested:

cmap expr C-N Next()
fun! Next()
  if getcmdtype() == /
return \CR/\up
  elseif getcmdtype() == ?
return \CRNN?\Up
  else
return \C-N
  endif
endfun

You see, there is no temporary mapping involved, and you still didn't
loose C-N for other modes.

   Everything I try eventually fails when the command line has been

   echo :CR

  When output was longer than cmdheight, if you look at the sceen

  see it's shifted upward in a manner that never
  happens during editing, essentially screen is corrupted. That's why
  I think redraw is the only way out of this.

 That's true in some, but not all cases, which is what gives me any
 hope.  For example,

   let cmdheight = 1
   exe normal :echo\cr
   let cmdheight = s:tmp_cmdheight

 works when the statusbar has been pushed up a small number of lines.
 It seems to know how to recover without a full redraw.  If it gets
 pushed up even more, then it fails to clear.

 The command also doesn't reflect the pushed position of the
 statusline, so there's no way to put a case for it in the script that
 way.

I never face this issue, as in all my maps, I try to avoid the output of
commands appearing on the screen. Here are some techniques off the top
of my head (you might find more if you search all my plugins, for maps):
- Use silent where possible.
- To execute functions on command-line, use C-R=func()CR instead of
  func()CR
- When it is still necessary to clear the command-line, use :BS

Yes, you are looking for the Visual mode blockwise.

^V to initiate Visual mode blockwise.

Use movement keys to get to where you want the block to span.

Use y (yank) or x (cut) to put the block into the register (as a block)

Use p (put) to insert the register (as a block) into the buffer

For more info...

:help CTRL-V

There are probably a zillion variants and tricks with Visual mode blockwise.
I find that these simple ones suffice for all my needs.


One more extremely useful thing to do in Visual Block mode is to hit I
or A (capital) to insert/append the same text for all the lines that
have been selected.

my guess is, maybe you have an :autocommand (or :au) statement with 
no command, as follows:


 display all autocommands
au

 display all autocommands for a single event:
au BufEnter

 display all autocommands for a single group
au filetypedetect

 display all autocommands for a single event and pattern
au BufNewFile *.vim

etc.
see
:help autocmd.txt
:help autocmd-list

Anything displayed in gvim before the GUI is actually started, comes 
up in a popup. To display it in the GUI itself, there are two methods;

- start the GUI early by means of the :gui statement
- display it late by means of an autocommand for the VimEnter event.
see
:help :gui
:helpgrep :gui
:help VimEnter

Best regards,
Tony.

 Oops... I searched for scripts and didn't find anything dealing with
 this kind of tabs, so got curious and went ahead and wrote a small
 plugin for this. I hope there is more to be offered in this, than your
 VarTab() function, especially that there is a GUI tabstop setter, and it
 maps Tab to insert the right number of spaces.
 
 I am attaching the plugin, and hope to get some feedback. You need
 genutils.vim also, and read the plugin header.

Thanks to all. This was just a general question.. something I planned
to keep on the back burner for a while.. so I'm not sure when I will
have the time to look into this further. 

Saving this thread for later reference.

 The functionalities I had in mind would probably do something like this:
 
 1. Assist text entry by letting you define tab stops,
 2. Let you select a column of text and justify it, 
 3. Provide some means of inserting vertical lines at each tab stop,
 4. Assist in creating horizontal lines by adding the ad hoc character
where a vertical and a horizontal line intersect, 
 5. Reformat the table frame when box drawing characters are not
available (replacing line intersections by '+' for instance).
 
 Try program sc
 sc is an anicent spreadsheet calculator for console
 (text only, no mouse)
 It does everything you want, it is very small,
 it exists for number of platforms (for dos and Windows
 version look for gnuish collection)
 
 keybindings in sc are very vi-like
 
 You can make script that sends data from vim to sc,
 format data in sc and export them back to vim

Definitely the better strategy. I'll keep this in mind for when I have
more time to look into it. 

I downloaded it to take a look. Is there a some kind of user guide or
other resource that  might help getting started?

I also found another text-mode spreadsheet called slsc. Would you know
if either of these is still maintained and where I should go, should I
need some form of assistance?

Thanks,

Thanks. Will play with that too. 

I was wondering if another approach such as using a markup language
that supports tables might not be preferable in the long run. What I
mean by this is that it might be a little more difficult to start off
with but might provide more control and facilities and end up being a
more portable solution.

html would be an obvious candidate but I suppose that there are others
in the linux world?

Is there any way I can split the screen and have the source version of a
document written in a markup language in one window and the compiled
version in the other?  With a simple command or key combo that I could
issue in the source window that would cause a refresh of what is
displayed in the other window..? Or is vim just not suited for this
kind of approach?

Thanks,
