Folding and the Desert color scheme

[Ben lemasurier]

Hey everyone,

I just setup folding and it works great however when using my favorite
color scheme (desert) the fold header (+-- 70 lines: class ClassName
) is black, which makes it invisible on my
terminal. Is there a way to fix this without using a different color
scheme?

thanks!

Hey everyone,

Is there a way to make it so that when I am editing something like this:


function foo() {
  $blah;
  $blah2;
}

And then I decide that I want to remove $blah2, so I start to press
backspace from here:

fucntion foo() {
   $blah;
   $blah2; - cursor here
}

and then when I get to the beginning of the line, it stops. Can I make
it so that it will follow up to the end of $blah on the previous line?

thanks!

quick regex question

[Ben lemasurier]

Hey everyone,

I work with someone who formats their code like this:

if(asafdlkasdf)
{
 asdfasf
}


i write like this:

if(asdfasfd) {
   safasdf
}


I wrote a little regex to fix the ) _newline_ { _newline_ problem
but I am getting strange results

here is the regex: %s/)\s*\n\s*{\n/) {\n/ig

It runs through but my code is getting formatted like this now

if(asdf) { ^@ nextline_of_code _newline_

notice the ^@ - where is that coming from???

thanks in advance, I hope I was clear enough
