Re: Hiding lines
Interesting discussion. Wouldn't it be easier to: 1st: fold the lines you do not want to see 2nd: conceal all folded lines (using conceal patch) I know how to do the 1st point, how can I go around the 2nd, knowing conceal is mostly a syntax add-on ? Keep vimming! Christian

Re: Auto-indent Comments
For at least filetypes html, sh, and perl, whenever I start a line with '#', it moves it to the very beginning of the line, ignoring any indent. It doesn't do this with filetype=c. Maybe the 'indentexpr' does it for those filetypes. Try :filetype indent off in your vimrc. indentexpr isn't set, and filetype indent off didn't make a difference. -- .

Isn't it unproductive to add manually each and every tag

Try this:
let b:match_words = '\(\w\+\)\(\s[^]*\)\?:/\1'
This pattern also allows attributes inside the opening tag after some

read the help file for this macro.

Do not reinvent the wheel! Assuming that you have filetype support
enabled, i.e., something like
:filetype plugin on
in your vimrc file, $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/xml.vim will be :source'd
automatically whenever you edit an xml file. It already sets
b:match_words to something reasonable. To test, try
:e foo.xml
:echo b:match_words
If you want to use matchit rather than default % pairing all the
time, add something like
source $VIMRUNTIME/macros/matchit.vim
or
runtime macros/matchit.vim
to your vimrc file.
Historical note: Johannes Zellner suggested adding support for
variable matching pairs (such as matching anything with /anything in
*ML) shortly after I started maintaining the script. Implementing that
suggestion was complicated enough that I started to think of it as my
script, rather than just something I had tinkered with.

arbirary regex separator for search ?
:s/// allows any separator instead of '/' (like s@@@). (Non-/ separator is convenient when regex or replacement contains many '/', ... then you can avoid backslasing '/' in the regex or in replacement.) So far, so good. My question is, is there variant of :/ that allows non-'/' separator char ? (It's possible if there's some command name before '/', like in perl, where m// is synonymous to //). Yakov

Yakov For normal-mode searching, / or ? is both the command and the separator. In ranges, / or ? similarly define (a) that a search is to take place, (b) the direction of the search, and (c) they are repeated as separator after the pattern. The difference with the :s :g and :v commands is that these already imply that a forward search is to take place within the command's range. If you want to do a search without using / or ? you may set the pattern first :let @/ = 'pattern' and then search for the next occurrence (using n or N ) in the same direction as the latest search. In a range you would use \/ or \? to reuse the current contents of @/ e.g. :let @/ = 'pattern1' :.,\/s+pattern2+text+g see :help quote/ :help @/ :help :range Best regards, Tony.
Re: ole in eclipse
Followed all those steps, It seems that eclipse does not recognise vim as an ole component, It can recognise ie and word, so theoretically it can be done. What I did do get better integration with eclipse is to write a one line .bat like so... gvim.exe --remote-silent %1 And associated the non java files to the bat file, that way it opens non-java files in the same instance of vim, and with the tab plugin I get close to what I wanted. Still if any one knows how to get vim to work as an ole component in eclipse that would be nice.

I am mainly interested in getting eclipse to work with OLE, as I am required to use Windows at work.

Go to GeneralEditorsFile Association menu 2. Click on Add and add the extension of file you want VIM to open. For ex *.java 3. Select VIM by selecting External Programs and browsing to VIM installation. Alternatively if that extension is already present, select the same and add VIM from the Add button in the bottom column. HTH Manu I gave that a whirl (again) but that simply opens vim as an external editor rather than as an ole component. The Eclipse manual suggests that 'if the application is properly registered as an ole application it should be available in the list of external applications when you select external editors' so either the vim ole does meet all the requirement of a what eclipse deems proper 'ole component' or I doing something wrong. -Mark 1. You should use gvim.exe, not vim.exe 2. Your gvim version should have OLE support compiled-in (e.g., with OLE support should appear on one of the first five lines in the output of the :version command). 3. Your gvim program should be registered with Windows as an OLE server. It normally does that (with a yes/no prompt) the first time it is run; or you can run gvim -register to make sure that it does register itself. You may need to log in to Windows on an administrator account to do that. See :help -register :help -unregister 4. I don't know Eclipse. You may have to tell it that gvim is available as an OLE server. 5. Please read :help if_ole.txt (the whole help file) attentively. If you have Visual Basic, Python, or Perl, you may try the examples given there to see how the result resembles, or differs from, what you see under Eclipse. Best regards, Tony.
Building Vim 7 with Python
Hey Everyone, I am on a system where I don't want to affect the installed packages so first I successfully built and installed python 2.5 in a directory owned by me and kept the build directory around as well. Next I put the python bin install directory on my PATH so that it would find it use the one I just built instead of the old one on the system. Then I configured vim 7.0 with: --enable-python-interp --with-python-config-dir=python build directory and it configured fine: checking for python... /home/TOOLS/python-2.5/bin/python checking Python version... 2.5 checking Python is 1.4 or better... yep checking Python's install prefix... /home/TOOLS/python-2.5 checking Python's execution prefix... /home/TOOLS/python-2.5 checking Python's configuration directory... (cached) /home/TOOLS/vim_src/Python-2.5 checking if -pthread should be used... yes checking if compile and link flags for Python are sane... yes Then when I make vim it gets a good amount compiled before getting: gcc -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DFEAT_GUI_ATHENA -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO-g -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/home/TOOLS/python-2.5/include/python2.5 -pthread-o objects/if_python.o if_python.c make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/home/TOOLS/vim_src/Python-2.5/config.c', needed by `objects/py_config.o'. Stop. So I took at look at the Makefile in the Python build directory and sure enough there is no rule for config.c but there is: Makefile Modules/config.c: Makefile.pre \ ... so I tried adding a rule right above it like so: config.c: Makefile Modules/config.c Then did a make distclean in vim and tried to do a build again but just got the same error. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Run into this before? I would really like to use some of the plugins that take advantage of python. Thanks, Nick

If you just want to open files in Eclipse in vim, you can just drag and drop the filename from the package explorer onto an open vim window. If I have a java file open in the editor and I have to type more than a dozen characters, I right click an choose the locate in file explorer option, then drag and drop that onto vim. The other thing you can do it select open with system editor, which I've managed to set to vim. Only problem with this is that it will become the default, so you'll have to reset it if you want to use the Eclipse editor (which doesn have features vim doesn't). Jack

You should install not only the files required to run Python programs (usually a package named python or something like that) but also the files necessary to compile C interfaces to Python (usually a package named python-devel or something like that). The config.c source should be included with that Python development package. In fact, you shouls install development versions of _any_ packages you want to compile into Vim. 2. The current version of the Vim source is meant for Python 2.4; it won't work unchanged with Python 2.5. See the thread Python 2.5 support about 6 or 7 hours ago, for an unofficial patch.

glued Cursor trick anyone ?
Hi, I would like to accomplish three tricks: 1.) Suppose you have a source code and have started an new search task recently. With n you are jumping from match to match. Sometimes the next match is right on the last line currently visible. Pressing n let the cursor jump there. The screen is not scrolled, cause the target is still on the screen -- but the context is not. Is it possible to always scroll the screen that way, that pressing n wll always take you to the middle of the screen (or in other words: The cursor is glued to the middle of the screen and the text jumps under the cursor)? 2.) This is similiar: I want to scroll through text and keep the cursor glued to a certain position on the screen. 3.) Last glued cursor thingy: I want to glue the cursor on the text and using up and down will not move the cursor on the text but the text on the screen. I am sure these are little steps for a vim guru to accomplish but would be big steps for me. :) Thank you very much for any hint and/or help in advance ! Keep hacking! mcc

Sounds like you want to use the 'scrolloff' option. Try ':help scrolloff', it's pretty straightforward. Personally I find 'set scrolloff=4' makes everything much easier to read. cheers, Peter On Yahoo!7 Check out the new Great Outdoors site with video highlights and more http://au.travel.yahoo.com/great-outdoors/index.html
