setting the mouse pointer + phantom pointer?
I'm making a function which moves the mouse pointer using gui_mch_setmouse( x, y ); It does set the mouse pointer correctly, but I also end up with a second pointer, which is maintained at the last position, that I can't find out how to get rid of. Changing the hide setting, redrawing, setting mouse shape, etc. update_mouseshape( MSHAPE_HIDE); gui_mch_mousehide(TRUE); mch_set_mouse_shape( MSHAPE_HIDE ); don't help. Oddly, when I first start Vim, the second pointer isn't there, but as soon as I start/stop insert or other modes, it appears and returns every time I set the pointer position. Something is fighting me in the code, and it's driving me bonkers! Growwwl!
Patch: gvimext.dll don't find MSVCR80.dll when built with VC8. No context menu entries.
Patch 7.0.Make_GvimExt Problem:On Windows, when GvimExt is built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, the context menu item Edit with vim doesn't appear in Explorer. Reason: GvimExt.dll cannot be loaded, because it is not prepared to the Windows Side by Side Components subsystem and so cannot find the C Runtime library in MSVCR80.dll.

The thesaurus option doesn't work in vim6/7 when infercase is set. C-x C-t will do same as C-n/C-p completions. Is this by design? My ~/.vimrc set infercase set thesaurus=/doc/roget13a.txt thanks, - Mohsin.

Re: Deleting lines from L1 to L2 in Vim script
I would like to to delete line from L1 to L2, I try to script that but obviously commands are different for a script. What is the right thing to do ? Well, if L1 and L2 represent fixed line numbers, such as line 24 through line 38, you can just put 24,38d in your script. Quick, easy, clear...the way to go. If L1 and L2 represent strings/regexps for finding a given line, you can use let oldWS=wrapscan set wrapscan $/L1/,/L2/d let wrapscan=oldWS You can skip the 'wrapscan' stuff if you already have 'wrapscan' enabled (most folks do, only to turn it off selectively on an as-needed basis), or if you know that the L1 won't happen on the first line of the file. In the second case (L1 isn't on the 1st line of the file), you can just do 1/L1/,/L2/d It basically is searching from line 1 for the first instance of L1, and then deleting through the first instance of L2 that follows L1. Just a few ideas. I can expound on their magic further if you need, but you can start by reading in the help under :help :range :help :d which should get you off to a good start. -tim

Re: Deleting lines from L1 to L2 in Vim script
And how about deleting from line L1 for instance to the end of the file. And put it in a script file, since G don't appear like a regexp and $ represent end of line if I'm not wrong ? $ represents the end-of-line in *normal* mode. As an Ex command, it means the last line in the file. Thus, you'd use :42,$d to delete from line 42 to the end of the file. I highly recommend reading the help found at :help :range where you'll learn all sorts of handy ways for referring to lines in an ex command. Commands/addresses can be chained so you can end up with things like :1/APPENDIX/?CHAPTER?+2 which would refer to two lines after (+2) the line that contains CHAPTER that occurs before the first line containing the word APPENDIX. All sorts of complex references and ranges can be created from a few simple addressing schemes. -tim

Has Plug Changed?
I try to use cvscommit.vim with NERD_comments, but they both use some \c mappings. The blurb in cvscommit.vim says I can use something like nnoremap ,ca PlugCVSAdd instead.

Yes, netrw supports browsing remote folders using ftp. However, sftp isn't ftp; fundamentally, its ssh. Netrw also supports browsing using ssh. So, what happens when you try: vim sftp://sage/nessus_conf/ Netrw will attempt to use ssh to do the browsing, and will use sftp to do file transfer. Regards, Chip Campbell
Syntax Highlighting: Vim 7, Debian
Hello all I've just worked on trying to get this to work a few hours with no luck, so I thought I'd consult the community. In short, my syntax highlighting doesn't work. Not in vim or vim -g/gvim. I've tried the easy things like :snytax enable or :syntax on and manually loading a colorscheme but to no effect. I recently did an apt-get upgrade which broke my X install. Once I had fixed that and returned to the world of GUI's I found my syntax highlighting didn't work. The color test shows all the colors properly however. (Select it from the syntax menu in gvim). At first I thought it might be because of my terminal, but changing that using tset and/or setting my TERM environment variable to xterm-color helped not in the least. It's not just a color problem anyhow, as bold and italics don't work on syntax either. It's not a colorscheme bug either, as I've tried using several colorschemes and get the same results (though it will change the bgcolor an fgcolor in gvim). I tried removing and reinstalling gvim as well, but the problem persists. Needless to say, now that I'm used to syntax highlighting being without it feels like losing an arm. The only error message I've ever seen regarding the syntax is when I opened up gvim and select on/off for This file under the syntax menu, it tells me that my colorscheme can not be found when parsing syntax/synload.vim. This error doesn't happen except when I first load vim, and only if I don't change the colorscheme before hand. This might be a clue for someone, but probably not. Also if I log into our server ssh -X and use gvim over the network, syntax highlighting does work, of course, that doesn't say a damn thing either. It just makes me think that it's probably a configuration file of some sort... I hope someone has an idea, I sure as hell don't. Thanks, Chisum Lindauer

Try this: in an xterm (version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1) run /path/to/your/vim7 -u NONE. Now type :help - you should see black-n-white help text. Now type :syntax on - you should see the help with syntax highlighting. If does not work, it could be the color settings of the xterm itself. Since you mentioned breaking your X setup, could it be that you're running a bleeding edge Debian Unstable (etch) system? -- + Gregory H.

Setting up fonts for use with vim compiled with GTK-2
Hi, I've installed all the pieces (I think) to get GTK-2 running on my Sun Solaris 8 box.

I looked at the help for fonts and gtk, but I wasn't able to resolve my issue. How can I get the gtk-2 version of vim to understand the fonts I use with the Motif version of vim? Thanks in advance. GTK+2 uses a diffrent 'guifont' format than all other flavours of gvim. Here's how I solve the problem in my vimrc: if has(gui_running) if has(gui_gtk2) set guifont=BH\ LucidaTypewriter\ 15 elseif has(gui_kde) set guifont=BH\ LucidaTypewriter/15 elseif has(x11) set guifont=*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-*-210-*-*-m-*-* else set guifont=Lucida_Console:h15:cDEFAULT endif endif The relevant info can be found, but not easily, in the Vim help, and also (somewhat more easily) in a vimtip I wrote (currently the 2nd best-rated if you search for font). (Obviously, the first branch of the inner :if is for GTK+2, the second one for kvim, the third one for other X11 versions, and the last one for all the rest.) (Disregard any beautifying linebreaks added by my mail client or by yours.) You may also want to use :set guifont=* to select from a menu, or :set guifont=Tab (assuming 'nocompatible') to have gvim add the current value (with escaping backslashes where needed) so you can edit it /in loco/ then accept the new value by hitting Enter, or abandon the changes by hitting Esc. Don't forget to write the value you want (with its escaping bacslash or backslashes) into your vimrc when you're satisfied with how it looks. Best regards, Tony.

vim7: another completion problem
I have been seeing this problem for sometime, but haven't tried to
reproduce it stand-alone until now, so here is a simple script to show
the problem. If you source the below script, it will start showing
completion options once you type at least 3 characters, which is as
expected. The actual problem shows up when you start backing out. If you
press BS, Vim goes into Whole line completion (^L^N^P) mode and
shows results from insert-mode completion, instead of what has been set
with complete().
To reproduce,
- start gvim with -u NONE
- Add the below text:
wordone
wordtwo
- Source the following (you can copy and type :@* to do this easily)
aug TT
au!
au CursorMovedI * call TT()
aug END
function! TT()
let curword = expand('cword')
if strlen(curword) 3
return
endif
call taglist('^xxx$')
let matches = map(['xxx', 'yyy', 'zzz'], 'curword.v:val')
call complete(col('.')-strlen(curword), [curword]+matches)
endfunction
- Open a new buffer (:new) and start typing word (without quotes) and
you will see completion options as
word
wordxxx
wordyyy
wordzzz
- Now press BS, the options change to:
wor
wordone
wordtwo
intead of:
worxxx
woryyy
worzzz
The problem can easily be observed if you have several buffers open in
the session (like say 100), as Vim starts scanning all buffers for
matches, when you press BS. You can actually cancel out using ^C, and
Vim will show the right completion matches, but if you don't press ^C
and wait for Vim to complete scanning, it will show insert-mode
completions.
