Re: match html tag
Matchit seems to come standard with all versions of Vim I have had the pleasure to use these days. On the standard Vim 7.0 you get for Windows, as well as for Gentoo, I have had matchit included, with specific instructions in the help using matchit as the typical example for plugins. From usr_05.txt: *05.5*Adding a help file*add-local-help* *matchit-install* If you are lucky, the plugin you installed also comes with a help file. We will explain how to install the help file, so that you can easily find help for your new plugin. Let us use the matchit.vim plugin as an example (it is included with Vim). This plugin makes the % command jump to matching HTML tags, if/else/endif in Vim scripts, etc. Very useful, although it's not backwards compatible (that's why it is not enabled by default). This plugin comes with documentation: matchit.txt. Let's first copy the plugin to the right directory. This time we will do it from inside Vim, so that we can use $VIMRUNTIME.

The messing up mostly applies (IIUC) to Vim running in a non-resizable
console, such as /dev/tty where the number of lines and columns can only take
a discrete set of values, not independently of each other, and with 'columns'
often fixed at 80.
In the GUI, I have never had problems.
When gvim realizes that the user is trying to set more lines or columns than
the viewport can hold, it resizes its application window down.
See another reply in this thread about the fact that maximizing is a function
of the window manager, not of the application. (But then, why does :suspend
-- a Vim ex-command -- _minimize_ the app window?)

Tony.

a personal quirk from my .vimrc.
By default, both ` and ' do approximately the same thing in that they
jump to a mark (' is a linewise `, it positions the cursor at ^ in the
destination line). Since I don't find ' to be particularly useful, I
remap it to @a and record my macros to a (qa...q):
executes the macro in register a
nnoremap ' @a
repeats the macro in register a for the entire visual selection
xnoremap ' :normal @aCR
I find this to be convenient and it provided an easy way to
record/execute macros when I was learning vim.

become part of the match. To see this as you're playing around,
it's helpful to have
:set hls
so you can see what matches.
In the second example, the regexp is asking for two disjoint
things: foo followed by bar and also followed by a second
foo. It might be more clear if foo wasn't used twice:
/foo\(bar\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This would match nothing as well, as it asks for foo followed
immediately by bar as well as foo followed immediately by fred.
For most uses, this isn't very helpful and can be more clearly
expressed as
/foo\zebar
where the \ze means and I want the pattern to stop matching here.
I can concoct crazy uses for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] where it might be useful
but most of them are refactorable:
/foo\([[:print:]]+\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
could become
/foo[a-z]\ze[[:print:]]*
One could also use it for crazy filtering:
/foo\(\%(.[aeiou]\)\{5}\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This would ensure that you have five pairs of word-characters
(\w) followed by a vowel following foo, and that the 4th
letter following foo is an a. The above could be written
without using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as something ilke
/foo\w[aeiou]\wa\w[aeiou]\w[aeiou]\w[aeiou]

ensure that a certain repeating pattern exists, and then at a

One might have an alternating sequence where you know you want
something like agct followed by 75 alternating pairs
/agct\(\%([at][cg]\)\{75,}\)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can then tack on but position 28 through 30 must be 'gag'
(I might be off-by-one here)
/agct\(\%([at][cg]\)\{75,}\)[EMAIL PROTECTED](.\{27}gag\)[EMAIL

The result will only be the agct, but it will be followed by
the context you need, as there might be many other instances of
agct that you don't care about because they lack this context.

clone a vim session into a new tab
Let's say I opened a 6 files in a 3X2 grid inside vim. Now I want to clone this and have all the files at the same position, same window sizes etc., and put it into a new tab under the same vim session. Is there a command to do this? commands like tabe etc., open only a single file. But I want to open about 6 files and have the correct window sizes etc., Any ideas? raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/

Case-sensitive match for :e under cygwin?
When I use :e file* under cygwin (a Unix emulator running on Windows), I get an error saying E77: Too many filenames. But in fact there is only one such file. However, there are other files matching FILE*. How can I turn off this behavior so that vim under cygwin performs case-sensitive globbing? I've searched the vim help pages but can't seem to find it, if it exists. For comparison, bash has a nocaseglob option which, if set, matches filenames in a case-insensitive fashion when performing pathname expansion. P.S. Thanks for vim!

How can a script know if we're running without X ?
How can a Vim script know if we're running without an X connection?
Of course, some cases are obvious, such as
if has('unix') !has('x11')
meaning we're on Unix with no X11 support compiled-in.
But what about an X-enabled Vim running in console mode, either with the -X
command-line switch, or in a terminal with no access to an X server?
For instance, I might want to map the following
:map S-F5 ccC-R+
in my vimrc, to replace the current line with the clipboard. However that
mapping should not be enabled if we have no access to the clipboard. So I wrap
it in
if has(clipboard) (term != linux)
:map S-F5 ccC-R+
:imap S-F5 C-OccC-R+
endif
which takes care of two cases:
- running with no clipboard support compiled-in
- running in the (non-X) linux console (aka /dev/tty)
It doesn't take care, however, of the case when an X-enabled Vim was started
as vim -X in an xterm. Is there a way to check for that in vimscript?
Best regards,
Tony.

Examine the $DISPLAY environment variable. If non-empty, you have a X11

$DISPLAY means Vim was started from a shell running within X11. It doesn't
mean Vim is aware of that X11 server. In particular, if Vim was started as
vim -X in an xterm, $DISPLAY will be nonempty but attempts to read or write
the clipboard or to use the +clientserver feature (both of which rely on X
functions other than reading the keyboard or wtiting to the display) wouldn't
work, even if they don't give an error (for instance, in that case reading @+
or writing to it gives no error, but the keyboard is neither read nor written).
For more clarification, please read the _whole_ of my previous post.

gtk+ gvim and dwm
Hello, I'm using the 'dwm' window manager in tiled layout, which enforces a fixed-size window. http://www.suckless.org/wiki/dwm Using gtk+ gvim 7.0.122, with some combinations of guifont and guioptions settings, the vim command line ends up half-outside its window. It seems like it miscalculates the proper value for 'lines' given the available real estate. Makes it difficult to see what I'm typing, and further it corrupts any command output written on the bottom line (such as that from :make or :!ls). My temporary solution has to bind something to ':set lines-=1' and punch it every time the window manager makes gvim resize, but that's annoying. If I switch dwm to floating layout (which does not strictly enforce window size) the problem goes away; the number of lines is rounded down to fit on the screen, and the window manager's window decorations shrink to match that. The problem does not seem to occur with lesstif gvim, however, lesstif gvim does not support the anti-aliased truetype font that I like. If anybody has seen or solved this problem already, I'd be grateful for info. I haven't ruled out the (fairly new, very minimalist) window manager as the culprit, which is why I'm asking for advice here rather than posting a bug report. :) If a proper solution isn't immediately apparent, is there instead perhaps a way to hook into the resize event, so I can do ':set lines-=1' automatically? Thanks, -Mike

HTH,
[1] I don't know whether it is relevant or not.
I'm on Linux, and I definitely want to support Vim running in console. Console
Vim may access the clipboard and clientserver features but only if the
following conditions are all fulfilled:
- compiled with +x11
- compiled with either +clipboard or +clientserver
- running in an X11 terminal emulator (xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal, etc.),
not in a true (non-X) console
- the -X switch was not used on the command-line.
The ps solution is difficult to use, because there may be several instances of
Vim running in parallel (whose prognames might or might not be different) and
I want to make sure to access the current instance: so I would have to know
the process ID of the current Vim and I don't know how to do that. Using
system('ls -l /proc/self') wouldn't work, because that would return the PID of
the ls process called by a subshell called by Vim.
system('ps -fC ' . v:progname)
will narrow the problem somewhat; but if the result is
UIDPID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 24547 4008 0 01:42 pts/500:00:00 vim
root 24919 3971 0 02:40 pts/200:00:00 vim -X
root 24929 25532 1 02:43 tty2 00:00:00 vim
then what? Are we 24547 (without the -X switch), 24919 (with the switch) or
24929 (without the switch, but in /dev/tty2 which cannot access X)?
Maybe I'vound something... or have I?
(first try omitted, it didn't work)
(second try is better)
(third try:)
(try to) detect whether we have clipboard and X
if has('clipboard')
let x = @+
let @+ = '--' . x
redir @
silent reg
redir END
let @+ = x
unlet x
let clipboard_present = (@ =~ '^+ ')
else
let clipboard_present = 0
endif
let X_available = has('x11') clipboard_present
The above would fail in a Vim compiled with X support but without clipboard
support. I think that that risk is negligible. Do you (or does anyone) see
other cases where the above algorithm would fail? It relies on the fact that
when the clipboard is not available (for whatever reason: not compiled-in, -X,
or terminal with no X access) the :reg command never lists the + register,
not even if we just yanked a nonempty value into it.
The above clobbers the unnamed register but anyway, I never expect it to be
conserved by long-timed operations such as restarting Vim or sourcing a Vim
script. I expect the following results from the above code snippet:
X_available == 0
clipboard_present == 1
non-X with clipboard (e.g. Windows version)
X_available == 1
clipboard_present == 1
Vim is connected to X server (gvim, or Console Vim with X)
X_available == 1
clipboard_present == 0
never
X_available == 0
clipboard_present == 0
no clipboard (for whatever reason)

Tony.

On 3/13/07, John Wiersba [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I use :e file* under cygwin (a Unix emulator running on Windows), I get an error saying E77: Too many filenames. But in fact there is only one such file. However, there are other files matching FILE*. How can I turn off this behavior so that vim under cygwin performs case-sensitive globbing? I've searched the vim help pages but can't seem to find it, if it exists. For comparison, bash has a nocaseglob option which, if set, matches filenames in a case-insensitive fashion when performing pathname expansion. P.S. Thanks for vim!

Get more on shows you hate to love (and love to hate): Yahoo! TV's Guilty Pleasures list. http://tv.yahoo.com/collections/265 I hope I am not speaking prematurely here, but I really think that this has more to do with the underlying Windows Filesystem stuff. As you probably know the files in windows are NOT case sensitive and I think that vim is probably using some form of Filesystem globbing, which would find both file1 and FILE2. On the other hand I remember reading about a cygwin feature that would allow you to have funky filenames not supported by windows in a cygwin partition (just escapes in the filenames really) that might change things. This is where I read about the cygwin filename stuff: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_on_Cygwin#.22Managed.22_mounts I hope that helps! -fREW -- -fREW
Re: How to paste while keep the cursor at the same place?

Is there any other key to paste will keep the cursor before the pasted text? See :help `[ You could either type `[ after the p to move the cursor, or you could remap p like this :noremap p p`[ to have it behave that way all the time.
