I can rephrase:
"how to match a '%' character following the 2nd occurrence of "home"?"
to
"how to match a '%' character directly following the 2nd occurrence of "home"?"
I am pretty sure everyone else knew what I meant.

That's exactly where you can use my little script (which will isntall
some dependencies, too)
Just add this into your ftplgugin/filetype.vim file:
-- >8 -- >8 filetype_sourced.vim -- >8 -- >8 -- >8
noremap gf :call vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#HandleGF()
call
vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler("[matchstr(expand(''),'Include(\"\\zs[^\"].*\\ze\")')]")
-- 8< -- 8< -- 8< -- 8< -- 8< -- 8< -- 8<
and source the installer file
http://www.mawercer.de/marcweber/vim/vimlib/installers/vimlib_gfhandler_installer_sourceme.vim
(Don't be afraid. The installer will ask for confirmation before doing
anything.)
I would suggest saving it to another directory (eg ~/.vimlib or
~/.vim_gf) and adding this folder to your runtimepath.
set runtimepath+=~/.vimlib
Then its easy to remove it again if you don't like it.
I think you can see that [matchstr ... does the interesting thing which
is getting the file from under the cursor by calling expand('')
and remvoving the Include text. You
have to adjust it the way you like. You have to write your own code
which removes /includes and adds /var/www/html/includes/ which would
look like this:
call
vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler("['/var/www/html/includes'.matchstr(expand(''),'Include(\"/includes\\zs[^\"].*\\ze\")')]")
You can even add different include directories:
call vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler("['/var/www/html/includes1'
call vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler("['/var/www/html/includes2'
call vl#ui#navigation#gfHandler#AddGFHandler("['/var/www/html/includes3'
Then you'll be asked which file to open if it doesn't exist.
Unfortunately the documentation
(http://www.mawercer.de/marcweber/vim/vimlib/docs/vl_ui_navigation_gfHandler_vim.html)
isn't up to date because vim segfaults while creating it and I don't
have the time to find the code causing it.
If something doesn't work drop me a mail.

Re: Inverse Folding?
Because I often want to concentrate on a small section of code in a large
script, and because my terminal window is large, I wondered if it was possible
to select some text and have all other text, ie. the surrounding text, fade out
in colour, or use a darker colour or something, so that when I flick away to
read another tab and flick back, I don't have to manually search out the small
block of code again.
vnoremap h :exec 'match Comment
/\%<'.line("'").'l\\|\%>'.line("'>").'l/'
seems to do what you're describing (that "|" might have to be
"" depending how vnoremap treats things in strings...).
Adjust "Comment" to be whatever highlight group you like...or
make your own and make it invisible. For me, Comment is
[italic-]dark-grey-on-black which fades out. Then, with a block
highlighted, you can hit "h" and it will "mask" all the stuff
that wasn't highlighted.
As usual, you can then just
:match none
to clear it.
Now I'm wondering if it is possible to select a block of text and issue a fold
command that folds away everything BUT the selected text.
A similar stunt could be done to clear all folding, and then fold
the two ranges "1,'>-" and "'>+,$" something like this untested
vnoremap h :1,'-fold'>+,$fold

Re: question on gf and path
Is there a way to make gf open "some.file" from this line?
Include("/includes/some.file");
where the file is actually sitting under web server root, like
/var/www/html/includes/some.file
I tried adding "/var/www/html" to the :set path but vim will
not recognize it. /var/www/html/; was the same. Basically I'm
looking for a way to add "prefixes".
Assuming you have "/var/www/html" in your path, the following
pairing should help you out:
nnoremap gf :exec 'e ' .
findfile(substitute(expand(''), '^/*','',''))
nnoremap f :exec 'sp ' .
findfile(substitute(expand(''), '^/*','',''))
The findfile() function also takes an extra parameter if you want
to refrain from munging your actual path, you could do something like
findfile(..., &path.',/var/www/html')
On the same note, would it be possible to let gf open
/var/www/html/includes/some.file
when I gf on this string
http://somehost.com/includes/some.file
or by defining a new command (say wf)?
A similar transformation could tweak the previous, something like
substitute(expand(...), '^\(http://[^/]/\)\=/*','','')
would strip off leading slashes and leading protocol+host. (that
regexp/substitute() is untested, but should be approx. correct,
save for possible needs to escape the "\" characters)
Alternatively, you could map it to gf and f
to maintain the original meanings, but create new mappings to
provide the additional functionality.

You may want to include look into the 'includeexpr' and 'include'

:help v:progname
Note that sometimes Vim will get a progname with suffixes, e.g. gvimd for a
version of gvim compiled with debug information; or vim64.exe for a Vim 6.4
kept for testing scripts. So in general I would recommend testing using
pattern-matching:
if v:progname =~? 'vim' " test for vim or gvim
if v:progname =~? '^r' " restricted mode
etc. However, some "names of Vim" are equivalent with generic names plus
command-line arguments: e.g. "gvim -R" is equivalent to "gview", "vim -Z" is
equivalent to "rvim" etc. So other testing methods are maybe more reliable:
don't test for "if v:progname =~? '^g'", test for "if has('gui_running')
don't test for "if v:progname ~? 'view'", test for "if &readonly"
etc.

or
/DocRoot/a/b/c/d/e/f/
and still call /DocRoot/includes/some.file
using
include("/includes/some.file") ...
and it's a frequent case.
In this case
include("__some_modification_to__... _includes/some.file")
will not necessarily be convenient.

That's where I want to get advice... That notation using DocumentRoot like
"/includes/some.file" is universal in web applications.
If I can temporarily change the buffer and trick vim to think the line is
now
Include("includes/some.file")
it's somewhat OK, but gf requires me to actually save the source file
before it will accept the change from "/includes..." to "includes".
There are situations I cannot save it, e.g. if the source is on a live
server, during the time this is changed, the web server will not be able
to find the file and will generate errors.
It's ok if there's no way as is. I'll prehaps look at recompiling.

Pasting utf8
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled Nov 15 2006 16:24:17) Included patches: 1-164 I don't normally use utf8, but I have a uxterm running on Linux. If I copy and paste some UTF8 text from Firefox into Vim I see: Weeding for Your Library\u2019s Health ^^^ But, pasting into the xterm it works fine. That is, in my uxterm I do this (which works correctly): $ echo "Weeding for Your Library’s Health" > utf8-test Where "Weeding..." was pasted into the xterm with my middle mouse click. Now in Vim I open utf8-test my screen looks fine and encoding? shows "encoding=utf8": Weeding for Your Library’s Health ~ ~ ~ 1,16 All But, if I paste with my middle mouse button into Vim I get: Weeding for Your Library’s Health Weeding for Your Library\u2019s Health <<<--- pasted line ~ ~ ~ -- INSERT -- 2,18 Bot What is it not pasting the utf8 character? set mouse? shows "mouse=a". -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jeffery,
As you described your actions below you need to take one
additionall step.
2.5 Check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind
of file" checkbox (step 4 in the original list I sent you). The checkbox
is tucked away under the list of programs you can choose from, and is
not obvious at all.
If that does not work, then I am truly at a loss.

Of course. I was so focused on (1) the "second on the line"
and (2) the "shortest match first algorithm" of non-greedy
constructs (which surprises many users) that I completely
ignored matches starting elsewhere :-( That is:
:%s/home.\{-}\zshome/alone
only changes the second home - no matter how many are on a

Peter's solution to find only the second works everywhere.

I have the following in my <.vimrc>:

This map is useful for when you have syntax or marker based folding
enabled. Just go someplace, and while in normal mode use the bar.
Now, if your file isn't already supporting a bunch of folds, then you'll
want to manually fold code above and below as you have been doing. To
simplify the process:
vnoremap :fo1,'<-1fo'>+1,$fo
With these two maps you have a solution! Just visually select the
region of interest, then hit your space bar twice. Plus, each map by
itself is useful.

Knowing the name vim was invoked under
Hi all :) I would like to share the same .vimrc for "vim" and "view", so I can use "view" as a pager without having to use "-u" in the command line. So far, I've thought that the only way of knowing if I'm under "vim" or "view" mode is to check the value of "readonly". Not perfect, but it will do. The problem is that I would like to use vim with other "personalities" (different sets of options) depending on its invocation name. Can this be done? I haven't found in the documentation any function to retrieve the full command line, just the file argument list. Any suggestion about how to discriminate in the .vimrc file depending on the invocation name for vim?

Looks like there're four solutions: putty, openssh, gnuwin32, and including a couple of files from cygwin (although for that last case I'm not sure how one would get just the two without downloading the entire distribution).

Call a vim function from the command line
Hi All, Is it possible to invoke a function in vim automatically? I'd like to process a text file automatically. I *could* write an onload for the specific file that calls a functions, saves and exists, but it does not strike me as very elegant. Is there anything like vim -auto -text_file -function That I can use for this? Sam
Re: Disable in insert mode
Tony,
Yes, you got it. I just checked it and found a couple insert mode
mappings with an initial comma. They are defined by a plugin.
I uninstalled that plugin and the delay went away.
Thanks,

The mapleader value is used when the mapping is _defined_ not invoked.
Check your mappings:
:map!
Don't forget the exclamation mark. Are you sure you don't see any mapping
there with an initial comma?
Also
:echo hasmapto(',', 'i')
The answer should be zero if you have no insert-mode mapping to anything that
includes a comma, one if you do.
Note that you can type the next character after the comma (usually a space)
regardless of whether you already see the comma displayed in Vim. If
comma-space is not mapped, typing them will make both bytes appear in the
buffer.
You may try the following, but I don't think it will work:
autocmd InsertEnter * let mapleader = ""
autocmd InsertLeave * let mapleader = ","
Best regards,
Tony.

These programs are doing Unix system calls, which the cygwin1.dll translates into Windows system calls. The programs you talk about (including Steve Hall's Vim for Windows) are doing Windows system calls at the C-object-library level, even though they were compiled by a compiler and linker issuing Unix system calls to the cygwin1.dll. With Windows plus cygwin1.dll you have a "virtual Unix kernel" emulated by the DLL running on top of Windows. I stand my case. Best regards, Tony.

I mean, I suppose you could be doing operations on your search but
couldn't you equally just "ayw and do stuff there? Besides \{-}\zs
takes too long to type :)
To go to the 2nd occurrence from the cursor, you can use
2/home
(or 2/\ if you want to exclude "homeless" etc.) but all occurrences
will be highlighted.
Best regards,
