Reduce cursor size
In gvim the mouse cursor dissapears when I begin typing. Can this be done in vim?
Searching
In gvim I can hold the shift and double click over a word and it searches for that word. Can I set this up in vim?
RE: Need to write a language
Thanks, eveything soundes goo so far. I'll just have to determine if I can create the language for more of the difficult rules -Original Message- From: Peter Hodge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 6:04 PM To: Billy Patton; vim@vim.org Subject: Re: Need to write a language --- Billy Patton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm in the semiconductor industry.

Can vim monitor each word that is being typed? 3. Can vim do word completion? 4. Can vim offer all possible spellings for partial word completion? If the answer to most of qeustion above is yes 5. Can I do the programming? I do perl, c, c++, csh and sh programming. Hello, As well as completing words, it would be very helpful if you wrote a syntax file for your language. If your users see things in color, they can be sure they have typed the commands correctly, but if the text is *not* colored, then they will know they've got something wrong. Something else you may want to consider - Map F5 to call a perl script which examines the line under the cursor and prints a message explaining what needs to be typed next. regards, Peter On Yahoo!7 Win VIP tickets to meet R'n'B stars superstars Ne-Yo and Rihanna http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/aunz/music/jay_z_promotion /index.htm

What's worng with my .vimrc
I have used this file for years. I got laid off and rehired 10 months later. I was using it steadily for the last 10 years. Then after the 10 months it no longer works.

RE: What's worng with my .vimrc
Yep that fixed it. I'm back to normal. I had my function keys programmed to edit or change directories when in a xterm, by highlighting and hitting the correct function key.

Simple how to unhighlight after search
When I do a search, I have highlighting turned on. I like that. When I have completed I now search for something completely bogus to turn off highlighting. I'm not using F12 and would like to program it to unhighlight F12 .. unhighlight after search map f12 : ?
RE: C++ IDE
Just to add to what you said about IDE, I moved from MSVC++ to vim. I had to write my own make file, big++ for future. I eventually programmed my function keys to do Make Make clean Make test First error Next error Previous error List all errors It was no where as nice as mscv++ but after the transition, I will never go back to an ide On my pc now I use cygwin for all my unix compatible work, which is my entire world. -Original Message- From: Aaron Griffin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 12:50 PM To: Brecht Machiels Cc: vim@vim.org Subject: Re: C++ IDE On 10/5/06, Brecht Machiels [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: But as I'm probably not the first to try to use Vim as an IDE No, you're not. The issue is not that you're trying to use vim as an IDE, it is that you're trying to use vim as Eclipse. Define IDE. When I use vim as an IDE, I use things like ctags to jump around files, change things here and there, run :make, etc etc taglist is nice. So are clewn/vimgdb, but not as much as raw gdb. Now, if you want vim to write makefiles and things for you, that's another story. I have a feeling this is what you want - a step to integrate build these files. Things like Eclipse / Visual Studio have a files listing which is used to know which files to compile / embed / whatever. make does this just fine, and better, IMO, but requires you to write a Makefile. I guess I could answer better if you defined what an IDE is to you. I get mixed answers on this when I ask people. In short: you are trying to use vim like tools you are used to. It doesn't work that way. vim is vim. It is not Eclipse.
Test and some help
Everything bounced back yesterday, my first day of signup. What I was trying to ask When a file changes, external to gvim/vim, I have it where it will tell me it has changed, but I would like to to tequest for it to be reloaded. This works on gvim, but not on vim.
