Re: How to paste without replace the content in buffer

buffer?


Thanks,

First, a bit of terminology:

English terminology: "to replace A by B" means removing A and putting B in its 
place, not the opposite.


Vim terminology: A "buffer" contains a whole file being edited. Text being 
"yanked" (Vimspeak for "copied"), "deleted" ("cut") or "put" ("pasted") is 
held in "registers".


Then, how to do it:

To replace "string2" by "string1" in the (file) buffer while allowing repeated 
put of the same (memory) register:


1. Highlight "string1" in visual mode and hit y

"string1" is now in "" (the default register) but also in "0 (the yank 
register).

2. Highlight "string2" and hit p (or "0p )

"string1" replaces "string2" in the text; "string2" has now overwritten "" but 
not "0 ; it is also in "1 (the top register of the delete list).


3. Highlight "string3" and hit "0p

"string1" replaces "string3" in the text ; "string3" now overwrites "" but not 
"0 ; "string2" (the contents of "1 ) is also pushed to "2 , and "string3" goes 
into "1


You can use "0p any number of times that way, as long as you do not _yank_ 
something else.


Alternately, you can memorise something that you want to remember even over 
one or more yanks, by placing it in a named register ( "a through "z ):


"by
yanks into register b (also registers " and 0 )
"xd
deletes into register x (also registers " and 1 )
"qp
puts from register q

With yank and delete, using an uppercase letters appends to the register 
instead of replacing what is in it; with put, "a and "A are synonymous.


There are other registers: "/ the latest search pattern; "+ the clipboard; "_ 
the blackhole register (which is always empty; anything deleted to it is _not_ 
placed in any other register), etc.


See ":help copy-move" and the whole section 5 ("Copying and moving text") of 
that helpfile.


The contents of the registers can be remembered across Vim sessions by means 
of the viminfo file (see ":help viminfo").

Tony.

Re: How to paste without replace the content in buffer

[fREW]

I think that the best way to do this is just with registers.  So what
you would do is:
v"ay
v"ap

what this does is use the a register to yank to/put from.

For more info see :help y and :help p

For Insert mode, it is CursorHoldI (v7 only), not CursorHold. The above shows

Re: visual selection and X11/xterm clipboard (vim7)

Joel Brobecker wrote:

Hello fellow vimmers,

I am working on an x86-linux machine running Debian testing.
I have switched to vim7 soon after it came out, and it's been awesome.
There is just one thing that changed and causes me some trouble: When
I select a visual region, the text region gets copied into the X11
clipboard. My previous X11 selection gets overwriten.  With vim6,
it wasn't doing that. Or maybe it was just by pure luck that my vim6
wasn't doing it?

I would like to restore the previous behavior because it works much
better with my working habits. I very often select something in one
of my X11 windows, then goes to my mailer, hit reply, *delete* parts
of the message I'm quoting through selecting a visual region, and then
use mouse-middle-click to paste the X11 clipboard, and OUCH!
My selection has been overwriten by the selection what I just deleted!
I need to go back to my X11 app and reselect the block again :-(.

That's just the most frequent example of why I'd like to restore
the previous behavior.

I have searched the documentation and the internet, and so far I have
only found one lead: Rebuild vim from sources with -xterm_clipboard.
This seems to be working well, but the drawback of course is that
I am no longer able to use the vim binaries provided by Debian.

I was hoping that there would be a way of configuring vim to turn
xterm_clipboard off. Or maybe do something equivalent.

Any idea?

Thank you,

That's because viki isn't enabled for the new buffer. It has to be set

Is this the same buffer, in which you did :VikiMinorMode before? In this

I have no idea why BufReadPost is not triggered. Could it be that your
autocommands are in the global scope, and that they are reset by other
autocommands which are triggered just before yours ?
You can try the following code to fix this possible situation
augroup JK_template
   au!
   au BufReadPost your auto-command
aug END

If that case, you can set a buffer-local variable that tells you to not
reset the cursor position.
->
   function s:GotoLastEmptyLine() 
  if ! exist('b:JK_file_already_opened')
  normal! G
  let l = search('^\s$$','b')
  if l==0
 " do whatever you want

Auto-commands are expecting a command, not a normal mode sequence. Try

Hi list,

new to the list. 
work on ubuntu 6.10, vim7 with patches 1-35

Have some problem with viki 
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=861

I extracted viki.zip into my ~/.vim. Just mulitvals.vim ist additional 
installed, otherwise there are no other vim configuration files. 
A .vimrc is as well not definied. 

If I open my testfile with 
vim .viki/test.viki 
and active :VikiMinorMode the CamelCase words will be highlighted
correctly. But If I want to create a New file if I hit CTRL + Return
when I am over CamelCaseWord with the cursor. The cursor jumps only to
the next line. 

If I want to active :VikiMode nothings happens. No highlightning of

Some suggestions. I dont know how to debug or where to start.
