my map only works sometimes
The following map is used to do add span tags to highlighted text in-line. My problem is that it only works sometimes, and I don't know why. :map ,bb cCRCRESCkpIspanESCA/spanESCkJJ The map works by cutting the highlighted text, putting it on its own line, adding the tag to the front and the end of the line, and then joining the lines. Any thoughts on why this only works sometimes? I can't isolate what conditions bring it about.

Any thoughts on why this only works sometimes? I can't isolate what conditions bring it about. Can be several things. 1. To cancel possible influence of keyboard timeouts, map the same rhs to the single-key combination -- like F10. When ,bb dopesn't work, try f10. If f10 works, it's related to timeouts. 2. Change to vnoremap instead of map. This cancels possibble effects or remapping of some chars in the rhs. I think you want to use it in the visual mode, right ? Then use vnoremap. 3. When it doesn';t work, what exactly happens ? Is it totally ignored, or works half-way ? 4. When it doesn't work, do ':map ,bb' to check whether it's still defined and is rhs correct. Yakov When it doesn't work it, it re-highlights the first half of the sentence, and then does nothing. The reason I 'enter' twice, and then join the lines twice, is to be able to get the text I want surrounded on a line by itself, then at the tags the the front and back, and then join the lines together again. The map is in my vimrc file. An odd thing is that when it doesn't work, I can re-enter it on the command line, and then it will work.
How can I pass the full path of the current buffer to a command line script?
I want to send the full path of the current buffer to a command line script like this: :!command thisFile What symbol do I use to represent thisFile, meaning the current buffer? This seems like an easy one, but I can't figure it out.
Pasting into gvim from word: ' tu rns into ¿
I asked this question before, but it wasn't really resolved. I often have to paste from Word for Windows into vim/gvim (cygwin). Some characters don't transfer properly. Most annoyingly is that a single quote ( ' ) turns into this: ¿ Is there an easy way around this?
setting font and color scheme in gvim (cygwin)
I've started using gvim through cygwin on windows and I'm having to set the color scheme and font every time I open it. Is there a way to set this in an rc file or somewhere? I put the following in my .vimrc file, but it seems to have had no effect on the default setting. set guifont=Terminal:10 I don't know the commands to set color schemes. Any help appreciated, Ben

I only migrated to vim from nvi recently, and that basicly for the syntax highlighting and file completion for :n commands; nvi has file completion - better than vim's in some ways, and worse in others. I find split displays annoying and confusing, and generally just keep multiple editor windows around where you would probably use tabs. A split display leaves me feeling I'm sacrificing text display space to a file I'm not editing:-( However, if you have a large number of files: how well will they display in split mode or tabs? My first thought is not awfully well. My usual editing mode has only one file displayed at once per window. Combined with autowrite and # mapped to :n #^M it's quite effective for me. It seems that everyone has such specialized needs sometimes. I'm a web develper and have at least 10 programs going at one time. More windows is not an option. Multiple tabs would be ideal, but once you get used to working with a split screen (horiz, or vert), you find that it has its uses. Usually when you have a long file or want to make a quick edit. Anyone else?
open multiple files with wildcard from inside vim
I thought I read once that I could open multiple files with a wildcard from within VIM (not from the command line). I tried this: :sp path/file* And vim gives me too many file names, even though there are only two files that match. Any help appreciated.
How to filter only portion of a line, and not the whole line?
Greetings Vim Users! This is my first post, so Hello all from North Carolina! I have decided to write some perl filters for vim, but was disappointed that it seems I can only filter WHOLE LINES (and not selected parts of lines). Is this true? I found that... :','!my_filter.pl ...is given the whole line, even when only two words in the middle of the line are selected. Is there any way to send only parts of lines and not the whole line(s). Thanks in advance for any and all help, and since this is my first post, I want to say a big THANK YOU to all those in the vim dev community for maintaining such a powerful tool!
