This is very usefull to make a regexp more readable. regards mc You can always add one or more lines of comments above or below the line including the pattern in a Vim script, or even, in most cases, at the end of the line; but IIUC you cannot insert comments in the middle of a pattern. To use perl regexps, you can of course embed perl statements in a perl-enabled version of Vim; but of course at the cost of making the script less portable. Best regards, Tony.
Re: HTML files don't auto indent, everything else does
thesheep wrote: For some reason the auto-indent features aren't working with HTML source files (and I want them to). I've tried these: :filetype indent on :set autoindent I've also tried all these kinds of things: :set shiftwidth=2 :set softtabstop=2 And then doing 'gg=G' to auto indent. It indents my javascript nicely, but all the HTML is just pushed hard left without any indentation. HTML syntax is highlighted OK, so I guess the filetype thing is working. My .vimrc file is pretty much emtpy: just says 'syntax on'. Any ideas? What happens if you use :filetype plugin indent on ? Best regards, Tony.

Is the mailing list subscription mechanism broken? thanks, gm AFAIK, it isn't, and after correctly completing the subscription process you ought to start receiving list messages there, unless for some reason your other ISP blocks the list messages. If there are optional spam filters at that non-pacbell ISP, try disabling them. Or else, try getting a free hotmail / yahoo / netscape.net account and see if you can subscribe to the vim-list from there. Best regards, Tony.

sure
The material in the manual is evidently based on outdated information,
as the ctags invocation given doesn't work
Is there some process to make sure this documentation will be corrected
for the next release? Soth. I can do?
---however, I will point you
to the excellent Vim taglist plugin, which is very current and can
also highlight tags:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=273
But this will highlight the tags in the taglist window. What I would
like is that in my source files, the keywords that make me jump to a
tag, will be highlighted so that I know which words serve as keyword
(keywords being the words on which I place my cursor and subsequently
push ctrl-] to jump to the tag).
This is e.g. available in the help text of vim. But I think this is
accomplised through syntax highlighting. In the help, all words in
between pipes ('|') are coloured and also serve as keywords. But now I
want these keywords to be highlighted in _addition_ to the syntax
highlighting that I am using for my (C,C++,...) source files.
Thanks in advance for any valuable pointer,

Re: c-wc-s on *nix vim
Hi Manu :) * Manu Hack [EMAIL PROTECTED] dixit: It works in Vim7 on WinXP but not on *nix (I tried solaris and linux). On *nix, it just stopped until I press c-q. Why was it happened? Usually, under UNIX, the c-s combination stops the TTY and c-q resumes it. For example, under Linux c-s has the same effect of pressing Scroll-Lock, and c-q does the opposite. If you want to use c-wc-s (split current window in two), use c-ws instead, it has the same effect. See :help :sp and you will see the note saying more or less what I'm explaining above.

Using vim to as a pager for manual pages.
Dear Vim Gurus, I am using Linux in a UTF-8 locale, and I have a problem with using less as a pager for manual pages: I cannot search for options, since they use a dash instead of a minus sign, and I don't have an easy way to type the hyphen (I have put some xterm definitions for various dashes in .Xdefaults, using ctrl-minus, alt-minus, etc, but I always forget which is which :'( ). I thought I could use vim's less.sh as a replacement for less, but it has a problem with the vt100 escape sequences which are used in the man page for emboldening and underlining. Is there a vim macro file which can be used instead of less.vim, or in addition to it, which can handle escape sequences, and not show the raw data?

One solution would be to use 'col' in a pipeline ahead of less.sh, e.g., man vim | col -b | less.sh You could incorporate the 'col' filter into your own copy of less.sh, or put a wrapper around 'man', or possibly define PAGER as a pipeline, but I'm not sure whether that works.

Re: c-wc-s on *nix vim
C-S is used for terminal flow control in Unix. So, try C-W s instead of C-WC-S, i.e. release the ctrl after C-W and press a single S. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606 Manu Hack [EMAIL PROTECTED] 写于 2006-12-29 02:15:16: It works in Vim7 on WinXP but not on *nix (I tried solaris and linux).

Re: i_CTRL-Y on Windows
Try to see if you sourced mswin.vim somewhere. (it may be in your .vimrc, or $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim, or anywhere in the $VIM.) An easy way may be: delete the mswin.vim file, restart vim and the script souceing that file will report an error, then you'll know where you had sourced it. If you runs vim on both Windows and *nix platform, it is highly recommended that you remove the call of the mswin.vim. It might be helpful for those who had never used VI before and knows only Windows platform. But for *nix users, it create many incompatibilities. Hope that helps. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606 striker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 写于 2006-12-27 19:52:01: I frequently use i_CTRL-Y on my *nix box to insert the character above.
