New option - 'eightbitmeta' ('em'), default on. If unset, two
things happen:
1. M-x is stored internaly as Escx sequence (was (x |
0x80)).
2. Alt+key puts Esckey to input buffer (GUI only).
How do you distinguish between someone typing Esc key and Esc key
generated by Alt+key?

With 'em' unset Vim behaves like every console application. I should qualify what I said before: if you have 'ttimeout' (or 'timeout') on, and 'ttimeoutlen' set to a well-chosen positive value (longer than the delay between successive bytes added by the keyboard interface for a single keypress, but shorter than your usual typing speed), Vim will be able to determine that Esc key was typed-in rather than M-key, by means of the timeout: let's say you have :set ttimeout ttimeoutlen=100 then if the delay between the Esc byte and the next one is 0.1s Vim will see it as Escape + something, not Meta-something. (By default, 'ttimeoutlen' is negative, meaning that the same, relatively long timeout applies for both special keys and mappings.) What I said before still applies in the case of key combinations which send a single byte (e.g. Meta-is-high-bit), because in that case there is no timeout. Best regards, Tony.
Vim charity: Drought continues
Greetings, Vim users. If you don't care about helping needy children in Uganda, which is Vim's charity, then skip this message. As mentioned before, the area of Kibaale has been suffering from a drought for several months now. Here is an update from Jackie Ammeter that I received today: The famine and drought continue to worsen. Yes, we have been getting a bit of rain, but a shower once a week is far from adequate. We should be getting 2 or 3 hours of rain every other day for two months straight in order to bring everything back to life. People are actually beginning to die of hunger. Everyday we are having hungry and needy people coming for help. I can't really describe the difficulty of the situation. On Monday, about 20 people came to the community development office pleading for help. Justine came and told me about the most heart-wrenching case of the day: a 10 year old girl came asking for food for herself and for her siblings aged 8, 6, and 4 whom she was looking after. Their parents had died and they were living with a grandmother who was currently in the hospital. They hadn't eaten in 3 or 4 days. Justine said the girl was just shaking. We also had a grandfather who was caring for a baby grandchild. He had no milk to give the baby. We gave him 6,000 (about $4) to buy milk for one month. The needs are endless and people are now saying the crisis far surpasses that of 1992.

It shouldn't happen.

Assumption that people use keyboard mappings where Esc is far away is true most of the time but not always. (Common exception is caps lock generating Esc). [snip] When I say I can't, I'm talking about me on my keyboard, where the Esc key is at top left, and the nearest keys are (²³¬) (1|) (é2@) and F1 (Between round brackets: unshifted, with Shift, and with AltGr, in that order, for a single key). I'm not assuming that _you_ cannot type 100 keystrokes per second, though I would bet that the Vimmers who can are a minority at best. ;-) Best regards, Tony.

Similarly for any other package that gives you problems. If you identify the problematic mappings in the package, you may even propose a different mapping. If some package mapping interferes with some non-7-bit-ASCII letter (be it your cyrillic И or my French é) I don't think the maintainer will refuse to change the mapping, or make it configurable.

Tutorial Part 2
I learnt most of what I know about gVim from the tutorial. I know it's a lot to ask for but a Tutorial Part 2 would be excellent.

Bug: CursorHoldI not triggered after startinsert
I am using :startinsert! from my plugin to put the user in insert mode, but if the user doesn't type anything for 'updatetime' after this, no CursorHoldI event is generated. I tried doing an explicit :doauto right after :startinsert!, but Vim ignores it, probably because the command only schedules for an insert mode (doesn't immediate change it). Note that the CursorMovedI gets triggered correctly in this case, but I don't want to use that as I don't want to know about every character that user types, but only when the user is holding. Any suggestions for a workaround? I have Vim7 upto the patch 146. -- Thanks, Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

As soon as I have more than a single template to handle, it will surely the better way to do it with seperated files. By the way: Is there a way to puts more than a single line? Something like an HERE-doc? :h permutations of 'here-doc' gives me nothing... Keep hacking! mcc See :help :append and :help :insert. I didn't know about them either but I knew that perl EOF (or similar) could start a here-document for any of the 5 interpreted languages. :helpgrep brought (among others) a page where :append and :insert were mentioned. Best regards, Tony.

missing setbufline()?
I see functions for creating new unlisted buffers (bufnr() with {create}
option), and for reading the lines from the buffer using getbufline(),
all without having to change the current buffer, but I don't see a
setbufline() so there is no way to set the lines without having to
switch to it. Is there a reason to leave this circle incomplete?

filter text through python script
Hello,
I'm sure this is my fault or some Windows snafu. But using gvim 7.0 on
Windows XP, I can't seem to get gvim to successfully filter text
through a Python script. I also use NoteTab and have no problems
running text from NoteTab through the same Python script.
Any vimmers help with this?
I'm sending standard text with the vim command :%!sort.py
The Python script (sort.py) is:
from sys import stdin
input = stdin.read().split('\n')
input.sort()
print '\n'.join(input)
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File d:\python\sort.py, line 2, in ?
input = stdin.read().split('\n')
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
Thanks,
rd
ps - I posted on Python group also, sorry for any duplication.
Re: Bug: CursorHoldI not triggered after startinsert
On Sun, 22 Oct 2006 at 5:25pm, Hari Krishna Dara wrote: I am using :startinsert! from my plugin to put the user in insert mode, but if the user doesn't type anything for 'updatetime' after this, no CursorHoldI event is generated. I tried doing an explicit :doauto right after :startinsert!, but Vim ignores it, probably because the command only schedules for an insert mode (doesn't immediate change it). Note that the CursorMovedI gets triggered correctly in this case, but I don't want to use that as I don't want to know about every character that user types, but only when the user is holding. Any suggestions for a workaround? I have Vim7 upto the patch 146. I tried to convert the first CursorMovedI to CursorHoldI using the below code: aug LookupFileCursorHoldIHACK au! au CursorMovedI buffer nested exec 'doautocmd LookupFile CursorHoldI' | au!

Yes. I had a patch for the setbufline() function last year. There were
several problems with it. So it was not included in Vim7 and only
the getbufline() function was included.
The setbufline() function worked only for loaded buffers. The undo
history was not updated correctly.
But I agree that it will be good to have the setbufline() function.

Need help about 3 questions
Hello all, I'm new to Vim, now i'm using GVim 7.0 on Windows system. Here is my questions. 1. Just installed UTL.VIM plugin ( http://vim.sf.net/script.php?script_id=293). Its \gu feature is usful to me. One thing I couldn't figure out is how to highlight URLs and email address in text file. According to its doc file this should be possible. Could any one help me? 2. Now I know how to install *.vim plugin. Then I encounter VISINCR.VBA plugin (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=670). How to install this kind of *.vba plugin? 3. Anyone here use Total Commander? When viewing Vim-edited file with TC lister, tab alignment is a little mess up. How can I adjust vimrc configuration so tab alignment looks the same both in Vim and in TC lister? At present related configuration in my vimrc like this: set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 I appreciate if anyone could help me. Best Regards, Raymond

You can try the attached patch against the latest Vim7 sources.
The syntax of the new function is:
setbufline({expr}, {lnum}, {line})
where, {expr} specifies the loaded buffer name/number, {lnum} specifies
a valid line number in that buffer and {line} is either a single line
or a List of lines.
Note. The patch also includes the new gettabvar() and settabvar()
functions.

However, *.vba are vimballs (kind of like tarballs). All you do is edit one and it tells you what to do - type: :so % That will place the files in the appropriate directories (usually under your vimfiles subdirectory). The actual place is the first directory of 'rtp' (type :set rtp?). You should have a recent version of the vimball plugin (the one in the distribution is about 5 months old). You can the latest at the author's site: http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim or at vim online: http://vim.sf.net An even better approach for updating you runtime files is to update from the vim ftp site. For windows, and using 4nt as your shell, the command is: copy /[!*~] /u /s ftp://ftp.home.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/dos/*; c:\vim\vim70\ That's all on one line. It copies all new or newer files for all subdirectories excluding files ending with '~'. c:\vim\vim70 is my runtime directory - replace it with yours. -- Best regards, Bill
