Re: Why bottom-posting is preferred on Vim Mainling List?
In the end, what's preferred is personal despite arguments pro and con. However, the preponderant opinion and therefore usage in the Vim group is bottom-posting, though many use interspersed posting and get away with it. If you don't bottom-post, you get told about it by the other, frequent Vim posters and that's enough to sway me to bottom-post in this forum even if I personally don't like it.

Original Message Subject: ...to shoot into oneelse feet... From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, April 30, 2007 11:36 am To: vim vim@vim.org Hi, is it possible to get out of a started change command (dont know, whether this is this the correct naming...) with a single key pressed ? For example the text is Vim is a #eally$nice editor. # is marking my cursor position and $ is the sign appearing after I have submitted cfn already. Since vim is really a nice editor, I do not want to change anything and pressed cfn by accident. HmmmESC kills everything between # and $... u would undo it...but this like do the wrong thing and repair it afterwards. What I want is to prevent doing wrong things by aborting them,..not to do them and saying ooops sorry...my fault afterwards and starting repairing the desaster then... :) Sohow can I _abort_ this ? Just press ESC followed by u to undo. Or, press ESC follwed by :q! to get out completely.
RE: need help with xml.vim plugin
Original Message Subject: need help with xml.vim plugin From: Lev Lvovsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, March 09, 2007 12:33 pm To: vim users list vim@vim.org I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem, as it would be really nice to get the XML plugin working. I've downloaded the plugin described here: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=301 I've put the file both in my local ftplugin, and plugin directory, and set ':ftplugin type on', however I'm still unable to do any of the navigation between tags, or autocompletion that the plugin promises. I can load up the help file, however it seems like that's the only part that's actually working. Any bit of help would be appreciated - I'm thinking it's a local config issue (perhaps it's being overridden by the original xml.vim that gets installed with vim?), but I'm not entirely sure. thanks in advance! -lev Lev, (I should probably know, but...) Can I use this with Vim 6.x? I'm one of those who takes forever to get around to sharpening the saw and just haven't bothered with 7 yet. Russ
RE: :wq vs ZZ
Hmmm... now I see it: I have to turn off HTML without which vim.org rejects it anyway. Okay, well next time I'll repent (maxima mea culpa). Original Message Subject: RE: :wq vs ZZ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, February 13, 2007 4:04 pm To: Gene Kwiecinski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Theerasak Photha [EMAIL PROTECTED], Vim ML vim@vim.org To boot, ZZ isn't Vim. I started using vi in 1983 and it was already there. In fact, I have never used :wq(Sorry guys, my web-based editor, which I must use at work becauseof IT paranoia about SMTP, simply will not let me reply at the end rather than beginning of the thread.) Original Message Subject: RE: :wq vs ZZ From: Gene Kwiecinski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, February 13, 2007 2:57 pm To: Theerasak Photha [EMAIL PROTECTED], Vim ML vim@vim.org I imagine there is a rationale for 'ZZ', but it's not readily apparent. (Something to do with C-z in DOS, or the end of the alphabet?) 'z' is already used, and the shift and z keys are adjacent on Murrrcan keyboards, so you can easily just quit out of the editor in almost a single hand-action. I never liked :wq, because you gotta do depress shift : release shift w q enter instead of the nice, simple, easy bang-bang of depress shift ZZ and you're out. Releasing the shift key doesn't even count. :D Even ':' requires either 2 hands, or a weirdly-contorted 1-handed op.
