Re: Change syntax color

Hi all,

I recommend to do it by writing your own colourscheme based (if you 
don't have a colourscheme yet) on the "default" colorscheme 
($VIMRUNTIME/colors/default.vim) and including a "highlight" line for 
the group in question (Comment for all languages, or else cComment, 
htmlComment, or similar). ":highlight" with no arguments will show you 
all the highlightgroups currently defined.


Give your "new" colorscheme a filename ending in .vim (let's say 
my_own_colors.vim) and place it in one of the following directories 
(directory names in "Vim" notation):


   for user-private use on Windows
  ~/vimfiles/colors


   for user-private use on Unix:
  ~/.vim/colors

   for system-wide use on any platform
  $VIM/vimfiles/colors

and invoke it by means of a ":colorscheme" statement in your vimrc, in 
the given example:


   colorscheme my_own_colors

See
   :help :colorscheme
   :help :highlight
   :view $VIMRUNTIME/colors/default.vim


It is possible to do it "more simply", e.g. by adding "highlight" lines 
to your vimrc, but IMHO the above is "safer", especially if you decide 
to use a different colorscheme someday.

Goto file under cursor with line number

[Srinivas Rao. M]

Hello vimmers,
   I want to know if there is a way i can use 'gf' command to goto the
file under the cursor, which is having the 

I have a string under my cursor as :

somefile.c:1022

Where the field after ':' is the line number. Can i use the 'gf' command
to goto that line number of that file. Assume that somefile.c's folder
is added to "path" variable.

Based on your suggestion, I have replaced "for" loop with "while"

PS: script

[...]

Note that Vim 6 doesn't know anything about datatypes other than Number 
(including Boolean) and String, so the above code will /parse/ OK in Vim 
6 but it won't /execute/ OK. The bracket operator has only one meaning 
in version 6:


   stringname[n]

means the (n+1)th byte of the String stringname (i.e., the result is one 
byte long). In version 7 you can also use


   listname[n]

for the (n+1)th item in the List listname (and the result can be a data 
item of any type and size).


So IIUC the whole code snippet above should be placed somewhere within 
"if version >= 700", or otherwise prevented from executing in version 6.

One problem I found is that console vim (using cygwin) will complain if I 
have "for" statement inside anywhere in vimrc, as (taken from sample spell 
script)


   for sug in s:suglist
 exe 'amenu 1.5.'.pri.' PopUp.'.s:changeitem.'.'.escape(sug, ' 
.')

   \ . ' :call SpellReplace(' . pri . ')'

   endfor




It's not because it's console Vim, it is (I think) because your console Vim 
is an earlier version (the :for construct is new in Vim 7). In some cases 
you can replace a ":for" loop by a ":while" loop; in others you have to 
bracket version-7-only code by means of ":if version >= 700" ... "endif". 
IIUC, version-6 Vim sometimes even mistakes "endfor" with "endfunction" 
which is IMHO a bug but unlikely to be fixed in version 6. In such cases it 
may take some fancy footwork to make sure that Vim executables of version 6 
(or earlier) will never even source the for...endfor construct. Unless of 
course you make sure to use only verson 7 (or later): for instance, by 
starting a script (or even your vimrc) with


   if version < 700
  echoerr "Please use Vim version 7 or higher"
  finish
   endif

Hello friends,

I know it has been an eternity since my previous release of ctags and I hope
you are patient with me. Don't expect a whole lot of change in this release.
I am sure that lots of you have submitted bug reports and patches which

minor enhancements. Hopefully, I might return to a more reasonable update
cycle.

ctags-5.6 (Mon May 29 2006)
* Reformatted code for independence of tab stop setting.
* Changed default configuration to disable installation of etags links.
* Changed --langmap to first unmap each supplied extension from other
languages.
* Added support for ASP constants [ASP, Patch #961842].
* Added support for GNU make extensions [Make].
* Added .mk as extension recognized as a make language file [Make].
* Added missing help for list-maps options [Bug #1201826].
* Added new extension field "typeref" [thanks to Bram Moolenaar].
* Extended functionality of Ruby parser with patch from Elliot Hughes [Ruby].
* Fixed creation of TAGS file with etags-include but no files [Bug #941233].
* Fixed problem reading last line of list file (-L) without final newline.
* Fixed infinite loop that could occur on files without final newline [C,
Java].
* Fixed incorrect tag for first field of table [SQL].

Hi!

There is another possibility:

Shift-Ins = paste
Ctrl-Ins = copy
Shift-Del = cut

These shortcuts work even without sourcing mswin.vim (BTW, I don't
recommend sourcing mswin.vim) and have the advantage that they work in
all Windows applications.

I use Gnome version 2.14.1, and I happen to have a gvim icon on my 
toolbar.  With that, I don't see the problem you're having.
What does :pwd show?  ie.

gvim .
:pwd
(select file)
:pwd

:pwd

And again: are you doing the sequence above (excepting that you're using 
a icon instead of the initial gvim)?

RE: put (paste) from windows clipboard into vim

[Max Dyckhoff]

That seems like a fair warning, although I will say that I have never
run into such a problem. I don't tend to keep things in the clipboard
for very long at all, normally just to move from one place to another.
If I do want them to be around for a while then I generally want them to
be around for A Long Time, and so I put them in a named buffer so that
nothing can stomp on them.

Choose whatever is better for your workflow, is the solution!

No, but it supports a very decent plug-in architecture. You can plug

Re: to get rid of postscript on windows

[Mike Williams]

Zbigniew Kowalski did utter on 01/06/2006 14:26:
I'm running Vim 70 on win XP, 
since the upgrade to 70 I can't print because Vim uses postscript mode 
to make a hardcopy (it says "sending to printer" and "print job sent")

and the result gets lost someplace.

The question is: 


1. How to make Vim print using standard windows mode
(with a dialog for selecting a printer and w/o postscript).

2. Why VIM 70 uses postscript rather than normal windows mode? 
Have I done something wrong while I was installing VIM?


3. Is it possible to use postscript mode successfully under win
with a postscript printer, but over the network?


By default VIM on Windows uses the Windows print APIs, it will only 
generate PostScript if it was compiled in.  Does the output from 
:version include +postscript?  If it does then whoever built your 
version of VIM included it, and you need to find another Windows 
distribution that does not include PostScript.

Re: gvim 7.0 does not display files in the same directory again

[PoWah Wong]

This problem only occur when I click the gvim icon which I created on the KDE 
menu.
When I start gvim on the shell, then there is no problem.
Both icon and shell refer to the same /usr/local/bin/gvim program.
I copied the .gvimrc file to the ~ directory.
KDE version is 2.2-11.

Re: Antw: Re: Loop through all lines in a file

[Tim Chase]

In the meantime I found a solution myself:

let s:lnr=line(".")
let s:image=getline(s:lnr)
	while (strlen(s:image) != 0) 
		let s:lnr=s:lnr+1

let s:image=getline(s:lnr)
endwhile

I'm not that familiar with the global commands yet, maybe I
have to read the documentation again.



I second Benji's suggestion of using a ":g" command if possible. 
 It's more idiomatic, making it easier to understand.


While you omit what you're doing with s:image once you have it, 
unless you're doing something with it within the body of your 
while statement, you're only getting the last one.  It also looks 
like you're getting the line number only to pass it to getline().


The idiomatic way would be something like

:g/^/let s:image=getline(".")


If you only want from the current line to the end of file, you 
can use


:.,$g/^/let s:image=getline(".")

(:g defaults to the whole file if you don't specify a range, such 
as ".,$")


If you want to call a function with each line, or run an external 
command, you can do something like


:g/^/exec "!somecommand ".getline(".")

Hope this gives you some additional ideas regarding how to use 
the :g command.

 Remember that a vim script (including a plugin) is a list of
commands in Command-Line (Ex) mode, not Normal mode.  So that j means
:j[oin], not "move the cursor down one line."  If you change "j" to "+"
it will be a step in the right direction.


D'oh.  For some reason I though 'j' was a variable and jumped to a
wishful[wrong] conclusion that it was really:

exe j

which would set the line number to an incrementing index.  This is
useful if you are going to use   :ex   commands  in addition to
function calls.



let linenr = 0
while linenr < line("$")
 let linenr += 1   " The += construction requires vim 7.0 .
 let line = getline(linenr)

 exe linenr

First of all I want to thank everyone, who contributes to this list.
It's one of the best lists I know of.

The response time is so quick and the quality of the answer are really
great  ...  thank you really much. 

In the meantime I found a solution myself:

let s:lnr=line(".")
let s:image=getline(s:lnr)
while (strlen(s:image) != 0) 
let s:lnr=s:lnr+1

Compared to your suggested solutions it's not that good (but anyway I'm
poud of myself ;-)

I'm not that familiar with the global commands yet, maybe I have to
read the documentation again.

Re: regex question

Sorry I wasn't clear, I wanted it to match any substring of
'directory'.  I think   \%[]  does this (courtesy of Benji).

Enclose "ectory" in another group that matches zero or one times.  The
"\v" enables "very magic" mode, and the "%()"  construct causes the
group to not be counted as a sub-expression:

\v(dir%(ectory)?)

 Do you mean like /\

Real close.  Turns out I think I want:

/\<\%[directory]\{1,}\>/

but it doesn't seem to recognize \{1,} and without the \< it seems to
be matching white space.  The problem with   \<   is that it doesn't
seem to allow   \<\%[.directory]

What I'm actually trying to do is walk through a list of displayed
files, highlighting each file individually (full length) (I.e via
 key).  The regex is because the file names are truncated to a
given length, and the remainder is wrapped down onto the next column


./   >8.3   >oaded
../TabLineSet.vim.2.0 WinWalker.zip.upl>
TabLineSet.vim.1.>   WinWalker.1.2.1.zip   >oaded2
  >7.1.vimWinWalker.1.2.zip  doc/

TabLineSet.vim.1.>   WinWalker.2.1.zip
  >8.1 WinWalker.2.2.zip
TabLineSet.vim.1.>   WinWalker.zip.upl>

After I solve the \%[   problem, I then have to see if I can deal with
the continuation segments.

to get rid of postscript on windows

[Zbigniew Kowalski]

Hi,

I'm running Vim 70 on win XP, 
since the upgrade to 70 I can't print because Vim uses postscript mode 
to make a hardcopy (it says "sending to printer" and "print job sent")
and the result gets lost someplace.

The question is: 

1. How to make Vim print using standard windows mode
(with a dialog for selecting a printer and w/o postscript).

2. Why VIM 70 uses postscript rather than normal windows mode? 
Have I done something wrong while I was installing VIM?

3. Is it possible to use postscript mode successfully under win
with a postscript printer, but over the network?

Best regards

 Either

:g/./

or

let linenr = 0
while linenr < line("$")
  let linenr += 1   " The += construction requires vim 7.0 .
  let line = getline(linenr)
  " ...

You need to say exactly how you executed the command, since that will
define how the lines were acquired, whether they went from the file
into a buffer correctly, etc.


One filename per line.

For each of the filenames I want to execute another command.
I tried it with code:



let j = 1
1


let line=getline(".")
while (strlen(line)!=0)


This loop is best done comparing line(".") <= line("$")


  "do sth. here -- construct the external command and so on
  j


'j' is incrementing, right?


  let line=getline(".")
endwhile

When I execute the code, it runns into an infinite loop, because the
lines are joined together with each loop


The infinite loop is probably due to other reasons, ie. above.


file:
text1.txt
text2.txt
text3.txt


Is the file (disk) or file loaded into a Vim buffer window?



after interrupting the loop the looks like
text1.txt text2.txt text3.txt


Not enough code examples to understand why it would be like this.


it seems j is interpreted as a J (join line) here.
And by the way, I think this is a bad solution anyway.
Can someone give me a hint how to do it in a clean way?
