Re: trap changes in 'modified' state
I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, but the tabline is
triggered on the 'modified' setting.
Just for the helluvit, I added pre- and post-proc function hooks to
TabLineSet.vim.
You can also add a check inside a CursorMoved[I} autocommand, which
might have a little more overhead, but maybe not noticeable.
In either case, my idea would be to set up a status dict:
let s:modified_table = {}
function! Tst_postproc_modified( tabline )
let updated = []
for bufnr in range( 1, bufnr("$") )
if !bufexists( bufnr ) | continue | endif
let modded = getbufvar( bufnr, '&modified' )
if !has_key( s:modified_table, bufnr )
let s:modified_table[ bufnr ] = modded
endif
if s:modified_table[ bufnr ] != modded
let s:modified_table[ bufnr ] = modded
call add( updated, [ bufnr, modded ] )
endif
endfor
for elem in updated
let bufnr = elem[0]
let modded = elem[1]
echomsg 'bufnr#' . bufnr . ', ' . bufname( bufnr ) . ' is now '
. (
modded ? '' : 'no' ) . 'modified'
endfor
" call somefunction( updated )

Kiel, Jarrod R. Hurley Comentaris/Comments: 17 pages and 9 figures; accepted by MNRAS We perform binary population synthesis calculations to investigate the incidence of low-mass X-ray binaries and their birth rate in the Galaxy. We use a binary evolution algorithm that models all the relevant processes including tidal circularization and synchronization. Parameters in the evolution algorithm that are uncertain and may affect X-ray binary formation are allowed to vary during the investigation. We agree with previous studies that under standard assumptions of binary evolution the formation rate and number of black-hole low-mass X-ray binaries predicted by the model are more than an order of magnitude less than what is indicated by observations. We find that the common-envelope process cannot be manipulated to produce significant numbers of black-hole low-mass X-ray binaries. However, by simply reducing the mass-loss rate from helium stars adopted in the standard model, to a rate that agrees with the latest data, we produce a good match to the observations. Including low-mass X-ray binaries that evolve from intermediate-mass systems also leads to favourable results. We stress that constraints on the X-ray binary population provided by observations are used here merely as a guide as surveys suffer from incompleteness and much uncertainty is involved in the interpretation of results. http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/astro-ph/0605093";> astro-ph/0605093 Títol/Title: Toroidal LNRF-velocity profiles in thick accretion discs orbiting rapidly rotating Kerr black holes Autors/Authors: Zdenek Stuchlik, Petr Slany, Gabriel Torok Comentaris/Comments: Updated version of the Section talk at Albert Einstein Century International Conference at Palais de l'Unesco, Paris, France, 18-23 July, 2005; to appear in the Proceedings; AIP style files included; 8 pages We show that in the equatorial plane of marginally stable thick discs (with uniformly distributed specific angular momentum the orbital velocity relative to the locally non-rotating frames (LNRF) has a positive radial gradient in the vicinity of black holes with spin a>0.99979. The change of sign of the velocity gradient occurs just above the center of the thick toroidal discs, in the region where stable circular geodesics of the Kerr spacetime are allowed. The global character of the phenomenon is given in terms of topology changes of the von Zeipel surfaces (equivalent to the equivelocity surfaces in the tori with constant specific angular momentum distribution). Toroidal von Zeipel surfaces exist around the circle corresponding to the minimum of the equatorial LNRF velocity profile, indicating a possibility of development of some vertical instabilities in those parts of marginally stable tori with positive gradient of the LNRF velocity.

Well, rather than a fixed line number, you can have some
unique token in your file. E.g., you can have a unique
comment to mark the start of the content...something like
Then, instead of ":386,$d", you can do
:/CONTENT GOES HERE/+,$d
That finds the line containing that text ("/CONTENT GOES
HERE/"), and then deletes ("d") from the following line
("+") to the end of the file ("$").

The original post specifically asked for a non-fold based solution to "hiding lines". The first step toward finding a non-"cumbersome" solution that can be mapped and which results in folding away certain lines is to define what needs to be hidden (with everything else displayed or what needs to be displayed with everything else hidden). --Suresh

The basic technique of using folding for this is this: set foldmethod=expr set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)=~'text to be folded' To close all the folds, you can set foldlevel=0 but I usually use zM to close all folds and zR to open all folds. You could wrap that in a mapping and maybe a function to make it easier to use. I usually type it out once, then use the command line history and editing features to modify the pattern as needed.

LiveJournal S2 Syntax Highlighting - Strings
Hi all, I'm slapping together a quick syntax highlighting plugin for LiveJournal's S2 code. S2 has a special type of string that is delimited by three quotes, which allows you to include quotes and double quotes in the string, unescaped. (This is useful for quote-heavy stuff like HTML.) It looks like this: """this is a "cool string" in which quotes - "" need not be escaped""" Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to fit this into my syntax highlighting. I guess my biggest problem is that I do not understand the canonical string region declaration; this one is from c.vim: syn regions2Stringstart=+L\="+ skip=+\|\\"+ end=+"+ What in the world do those pluses mean? And that queue of backslashes? I don't understand how those specifications follow pattern syntax. So anyway, I just want to make it parse everything between triple quotes as a String. How do I do it?
