I had this same problem, so I added this line to my color scheme.  
It may be sufficient to just put something like this in your .vimrc.

highlight MatchParen ctermbg=4

A better solution to what problem?  If vim automatically indents 
properly when you add a new line, what difference does it make 
whether it leaves leading spaces in that line you left or not?

If you want to leave a blank line and add properly indented text to 
it later, you can resume editing that line by typing S which should 
automatically move your cursor to the proper indentation.

Gary

If you internal encoding is 8-bit one (eg cp1251), then

 set langmap=very_long_list_of_letter_pairs

works fine. Unfortunately this doesn't fork if internal encoding is
utf-8. In later case,

 set keymap=russian-jcukenwin

works fine. The later has a minor disadvantage -- you need
vim-specific keyboard switch instead of standard WIndows one, but
after a shot time you will get used of this, and it is really handy.

Well, I can transform the commands to the Aap script, but we still need
to verify that the result is the same.  Or I can generate and upload the

your and the uploaded dictionary.

The idea of the comment shown above was to leave something to remind you that
you had to come back later, since, as you said, you want to leave the indent
there "for future use"; also, the comment would be sure to stay in place even
if the "bare indent" didn't. But if just adding, let's say, a period, then
backspacing over it, makes the indent remain, then you don't have to type a

You may even try (untested)

If you insert a line, and then go somewhere else, and then come back, you
can just type dd to delte the newly inserted line and type o to insert a
new line again. This is only 3 keystrokes and it solves all problem, your
indent come back.

Anyway, this behavior is good for avoid trailing blanks.

auto-scrolling a window?

[Joseph Xu]

Hello:

I'm using vim as a front end to a server process that communicates
with it through the python interface. When the server process is doing
something, it sends a lot of output to a vim buffer. I would like to
make it so that the window(s) that buffer is bound to will
automatically scroll to show the newest data, but I will also be
editing other windows simultaneously, so I don't want to have to
change focus to that window everytime to scroll it.

Currently I can change the position of the cursor in that window
without moving to it, but that doesn't scroll the window until the
next time it gets focus.

Is there any function that can do this?

Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Joseph

Hi, I don't think it's possible to use directories other than $HOME while
HOME is defined. But you can redefine the $HOME in your Windows.
(System|Properties|Advanced|Environment Variables|User variables) so that
the HOME environment variable has a different value, this is the best way
IMO.

Or you can specify the init file manually. try launch vim by vim --help,
you'll see that vim -u can override any .vimrc file.

Re: Describe-key ?

[François Pinard]

[EMAIL PROTECTED]


is there anything like "describe-key" (EMacs)in vim ?


The simplest might be the Vim help system.  For example:

 :h ^X

describes Ctrl-X.  You have to type "^X" as two characters, not one.

It is a good idea to get familiar with the help system in Vim (the same 
as with the Emacs help system for Emacs users).  Try both:


 :h
 :h help

For commands and keybindings, Emacs has a ¹one-line help (corresponding 
to the first line of a starred doc-string -- if I remember well), ²the 
full doc-string (which is usually more succinct than the manual, yet in 
a few cases more complete than the manual, or even, very rarely, 
contradicting it :-), and the ³automatic display of the manual entry.  
Vim help mostly corresponds to this later one.
