dictionary fun makes gvim crash
Hi
I get gvim to crash every time I try the following:
let mynumbers = {0:'zero',1:'one',2:'two',3:'three',4:'four',
5:'five',6:'six',7:'seven',8:'eight',9:'nine'}
function mynumbers.convert(number) dict
return join(map(split(a:number,'\zs'), 'get(self,
v:val,"unknown")'))
endfunction
echo mynumbers.convert(12345)
cannot get the same code to crash in the console version of vim.
another weird thing is that if I call this function (in console vim)
and uses the argument 123123123123 then it returns as if approx. half
of the digits are unknown. is it Vim's number<->string conversion
mechanism that fails or?

running a function only once over visual selected lines.
Hi
I have a function that adds numbers to the begining of lines and I want
it to do it to each line in a visual selection (to create numbered
lists in my text).
There is however the problem that the function is called for each
selected line and not once for the entire visual selection.
can anyone help me modify it such that it will work on visual selected
lines ():
function! Listing2()
" set line numbers in front of lines
let beginning=line("'<")
let ending= line("'>")
let difsize = ending-beginning
let pre = ' '
while (beginning <= ending)
if match(ending, '^9*$') == 0
let pre = pre . '0'
endif
call setline(ending, pre . difsize . "\t" . getline(ending))
let ending=ending-1
let difsize=difsize-1
endwhile
endfunction
:vmap :call Listing2()
I would prefer not to use a global counter.

Hi I was wondering if there is a way to lock a window such that the content can only be changed by scripting/commands.

I have been playing around with the search() but I couldn't quite get
the hang of it.
Could you maybe give me an example on how to use it in relation to an
abbrev. What I tried was:
:iabbrev for( for
(!cursor!;<+++>;<+++>){\n<+++>\n}=search('!cursor!',b)c/+>/e
but this inserts the linenumber where it finds the placeholder.
I would rather like it ro remove the placeholder and move the cursor
there.
any ideas?

abbreviations + indent + movement commands
Hi
I am playing a bit around with abbreviations, in order to use them for
simple pattern templates when I code. like:
iabbrev for( for (%%%;%%%;%%%){}
problem is that this gives me a wrong indentation of the code such that
the } is placed in the same column as where the ( in for( was before
changing. like:
for (%%%;%%%;%%%){
.
}
(the . is the eol in that line).
How can I get it to obey my indentation rules?
Second problem:
After the for( is changed to the for (){...} I would like to move
the cursor to the first spot just inside the () without having to do
this manually. is there a way to go to that place ? I guess it is in
the mark for place of last change, but I just cant get iabbrev to
execute my movement command (other than using
). Is there any way to do this?

show matching bracket - the emacs way
Hi
Is there any way to get vim to show the line where the matching start
bracket is placed (or the line above if line only contains bracket)
whenever a closing bracket is pressed.
e.g.,
if( foo == bar )
{
bla bla
}
should show "if( foo == bar ) {" when the } is inserted.
Emacs has this feature and I think that it is quite useful when
programming, and would love to have it in Vim.
I am not looking for showmatch, and dont want to jump to the line - i
simply want a preview at the bottom of the script.
If this is not possible directly in Vim, I an planning to write a
script for this - any ideas are welcome.
In gvim I was thinking of using baloonexpr to show it on mouse over
also.

Some of the current features are still slow (think cursorline columnline) and others still lack some userfriendlyness (like omnicompletion). fine tuning these things would be great. there is however a couple of things I would like to see added in vim8: Dialogs: -- Gvim has confirm that can give me a dialog for selecting files etc. but I want this to be implemented as a more generic dialog api. It should be possible to have a "dialog" with the user such that vim can ask a question and the user can answer this. it is not userfriendly enough if it is just shown in the command line area of the editor - we need better looking modal dialog "windows". The output in the bottom of the window that scrolls the entire contents to be able to show multiple lines is simply not userfriendly and "good looking". I think this could be really useful in scripts and especially in relation to e.g., templates. Omnicompletion++: --- Omnicompletion is a great new feature, but I would like to see it become even stronger. The intellisense plugin for gvim on win32 has some of the features I would love to see in the generic omni completion: quickhelp for items in list if available: http://insenvim.sourceforge.net/images/vis_help.jpg parameter help in tooltip: http://insenvim.sourceforge.net/images/vis_tooltip.jpg Some of this might be possible to make with scripts, but it often tend to become slow if not natively implemented. (and please kill the pink color - it is really ugly) Fonts for visualization: - Vim is fixed font which is mostly nice enough. I have hovever lately been working a bit in the editor/code navigator called SourceInsight. It used different fontsizes for marking the parts in the code - e.g. the function name is 2-4pt larger then the rest of the code and the size of the brackets are bigger for each level of them there is (biggest outside, normal innermost). This makes it extreamly easy to recognize where you are in the code while scrolling through i. Sessions: Sessions are great and I use it all the time. It does however have a single problem that irritates me. It does not save information about how the windows, tabs, buffers etc. are placed individually. This makes it really annoying when you, like me, has a window with a file list, a window with debug output, 2-3 open windows in each tab etc. All of this setting up is lost when I close vim and opens it again. Some of these things might already be possible to some extent, but I havent been able to find any info about it - hence it should probably be either better described or more easily available. -- Kim Schulz| Private : http://www.schulz.dk [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Business: http://www.devteam.dk +45 5190 4262 | Sparetime: http://www.fundanemt.com

What I need is for it to be context sensitive. so if I have

// one fixed indent
