Hi, I've been using this tip for ages and find it very useful, but I have the same problem as jaywee and none of the solutions so far suggested have solved the problem. I am using Debian Etch with KDE 3.5.5. In my home directory, I have tried creating a .xinitrc with the same contents as the .speedswapper file (there wasn't one already existing), I have tried creating a .Xmodmap file with the same contents and I have looked in the KDE control panel for anything that might be able to do this, but didn't find anything. It's not a big problem, but it just would be nice to have it done automatically :-) Thanks for any help, Rob. Hi, to make commands to be run when your desktop first loads I found this page useful: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Autostart_Programs so, to ensure your keys get swapped when KDE starts, put the commands into any accessible file (~/.speedswapper above). Then create a shell script in the appropriate directory for your distribution (on xfce4 here it is ~/.config/autostart, and in KDE it is ~/.kde/Autostart) that calls xmodmap: #!/bin/bash xmodmap ~/.speedswapper Make that executable (chmod +x ~/.kde/Autostart/swapscript) and you should have what you want (just in case any of you are lawyers, I, of course, do not mean to imply that this solution will give you everything that you want, just the required results of this question). cheers Chris
minibuf explorer and vim's default scrolling position
When I use the MiniBufExplorer plugin with a vertical buffer list and open 30 files in a 34-line window, it only shows the last 16 entries. I don't know if it's a MiniBufExplorer problem or some kind of default scrolling behavior in vim that causes it to want to fill up only half the screen. I want it to use all 32 lines in the display area for the file list. A text screenshot is at: http://rafb.net/p/SpeWiC26.html Any help appreciated, apologies if this isn't the right place for this question.
'set hidden' overwrites cmdline after BufEnter event?
Hello, I wrote a plugin that displays some information in the commandline using the echon command when entering a buffer. This works fine, unless a buffer is entered for the second time and the 'set hidden' option is enabled - in this case vim overwrites the command line with info like: "/tmp/file1" [readonly] 557 lines --0%-- (1 of 2) 1,1 Top I would like to understand why vim overwrites the commandline on some occasions, but not on others and if there is a possible workaround. The following code shows this behaviour: - save the following vimscript in ~/.vim/plugin/bla.vim: function! Bla() redraw echon "-- bla bla bla --" endfunction set hidden autocmd BufEnter * call Bla() - start vim with 2 filenames on the commandline - vim now displays the first file, and shows -- bla bla bla -- in the bottomline - go the the next buffer with :bnext - vim now displays the second file, and shows -- bla bla bla -- in the bottomline - go the the next buffer with :bnext - vim now displays the first file, but instead of showing the blablabla line, it now shows something like "filename" [readonly] 57 lines --0%-- (1 of 2) When the 'set hidden' line is omited from the script, the behaviour is consistent and the 'blablabla' line is always printed in the commandline, also when entering the first buffer for the second time. Can anybody explain to me why this is happening ? -- :wq ^X^Cy^K^X^C^C^C^C
Re: Insert mode and arrow keys philosophy
Hi all, In my first reply to this topic, I had in mind the 'small' keyboards without arrows keys (I first started to code BASIC on an Apple 2 and the T arrows weren't on the keyboard). This is why I said "although the use of h/j/k/l might have originated for other reasons back in the old 'vi' days". Thanks to Gene to confirm this and here is a picture of an ADM-3a keyboard: http://neil.franklin.ch/Computers/ADM-3A/IMG_0344.JPG. About the wrist movement that's just as bad when you hit ESC as when you use the arrow keys: just do the movement in slow motion for yourself: Hitting ESC is merely a little stretch with your hand (I use my middle finger to hit ESC) while you have to move your arm, elbow, forearm and hand to use the arrows keys. Don't forget either that in 'motion' mode you have tons of other shortcuts that will speed up your typing and avoid you to 'move' your hand to HOME, END, PG-UP and PG-DOWN etc. And as Raimon pointed out, ESC can be remapped to anything you want that could be easier for you to use. If it is true that at first some of the shortcuts are a bit 'unnatural' and could feel like you type twice more to reach the same results as with using the keyboard-provided keys, in the long term, once you've mastered motion in Vim, you'll realise that it's tuely priceless and it does speed up your typing. Good luck with it! All the best; Laurent
Re: Insert mode and arrow keys philosophy
Hi, Insert mode is to insert something in your text. If you want to move again, just hit ESC and you'll be back in motion mode. The idea behind using h/j/k/l is to avoid moving your hand/wrist too often while going back and forth between your keyboard and the arrow set (although the use of h/j/k/l might have originated for other reasons back in the old 'vi' days). If you touchtype, just hit ESC and stick with h/j/k/l as often as you can, using arrows will waste your time. If you don't touchtype, you won't really 'get' how great h/j/k/l is so don't worry too much about it and use the arrows whenever you want it. Laurent Yakov Lerner wrote: On 2/20/07, Pavel Shevaev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can you clarify which costs you are willing to > pay/sacrifice to avoid use of arrows ? Actually I'm just trying to follow the best vim practices and it's really hard for me to get used to h/j/k/l combination after working with some other text editors. That's why I'm asking how vim gurus work the most efficient way in insert mode... BTW, i type English symbols without looking at the keyboard(we call it "blind typing" in Russia) and the basic position of my right hand is on j/k/l/; buttons, that's why it's kinda hard to get used to switch to h/j/k/l position. I wonder if anybody remaps h/j/k/l => j/k/l/; and ; => h ;) If you ask me, I advise you to feel free to use arrows in any mode. "Arrows not working in insert mode" was the worst annoyance of the original vi, as far as I remember. Yakov Yakov
How to list occurrences of a pattern in a *buffer*?
Assume I have an unnamed buffer which hasn't been saved to the disk. Can I list all occurrences in that buffer of a pattern in the QuickFix window, and navigate with double-clicking mouse-1 or ":.cc"? I know something about ":grep" and ":vimgrep". They seem to be use only on *files*. And ":g//#" just *prompts* a list. Any idea? ___ 抢注雅虎免费邮箱-3.5G容量，20M附件！ http://cn.mail.yahoo.com
Re: alphabetical order of a long bibl file
gosh, I was wrong!
you don't even need vim7 for that...
just visual, !sort -k 2 and that's it
the problem is that after that the block are no longer
separated by whitespaces and a BIG blank screen is showed but the
rerefences are ahead, in the bottom of the file... That's why I
thought vim was removing everything... it wasn't, it was just working
properly... you delete spaces and they are kept, as blank lines... the
size of the file is the same but you just have to look in the bottom!
A mere :%s/$/\r suffices then, as Tim said
vim is just great!

Well, if a few liberties can be taken, Vim7's sorting
functionality offers a killer solution to this problem:
:%sort /\\bibitem[^{]*{\zs/
Since each bib item is on its own line (and not overflowing to
multiple lines), a simple sort at the "right" offset (as kindly
found by the regexp) will do the trick. In this case, the
pattern is "start ("\zs") the sorting comparison after '\bibitem
up through the first open-curly-bracket' ("\\bibitem[^{]*{")"
(okay, now /that/ had some odd quoting and parenthesizing in it...)
It does have the side effect that the block are no longer
separated by whitespace, but this can then be rectified with
:%s/$/\r
which will doublespace them again.
Adjust the "%" for to be your desired range.
> I have more than 200 references and I don't feel like doing this per hand!
Hopefully this does the trick for you. If not, drop a line to
the list with the details of went gonzo (likely some precondition
I'm missing).

alphabetical order of a long bibl file

(note that each entry is a single row)
And in the second block I have

Re: Fighting with comments - Close the gap between vimtutor and :help
Gary Johnson wrote: I don't think that's true. Vim :help comprises two manuals: Vim User Manual - :help user-manual Vim Reference Manual - :help reference This is even discussed in ":help 01.1". The User Manual is written in a different style than the Reference Manual and is more readable. I believe the User Manual is intended to be the intermediate-level guide you're looking for. Regards, Gary Well, I said "that's basically it", I didn't really want to go through the details of :help and analyse what's missing in it because I don't think there is anything missing in it. I'm more talking about a tutorial "that will take you by the hand and bring you through the Vim universe in a nice and easy way" to quote myself. I believe that an official well-written tutorial that goes nice and easy with lengthy descriptions and good examples is missing. Something to turn people from novices to Vim addict. I'm always surprised that not every single coder doesn't use Vim on an everyday basis. Especially when I can say that since I've made the effort to learn the 'basics' of the software, I code two to three times faster, even tho I believe I don't use more than 20% of Vim. I've also had a look at the FAQ as suggested by belgian compatriot Tony and I think that it could be the perfect start for a good tutorial. Yet the tutorial needs to be adressed to novices with the objective to get them hooked asap :) I'll be in touch with the FAQ team and see if it is possible to start such a project. Laurent
Re: Fighting with comments - Close the gap between vimtutor and :help
Hi everobody, I recently had a very similar conversation with three guys on #vim (irc.freenode.net). Basicaly, there is two official help for Vim: - the vimtutor - :help And that's basically it. :help being your Vim dictionnary/encyclopedia/bible, it's very complete and has everything in it but it's hardcore to read and understand. Unfortunately, it's not easy at all to go through and to 'get' the way it works. I believe that there is room between vimtutor and :help to have some beginner to intermediate tutorial that will take you by the hand and bring you through the Vim universe in a nice and easy way. Let's not forget (especially for the Vim gurus out there) that Vim is very powerful but because of that it can be very hard to understand sometimes or even to adapt to it and make it your favourite text editor. Of course Google is your friend but the sheer ammount of tutorials out there can easily make you go left, right and center and basically not teach you anything useful but some 'tips and tricks' that is cool but won't make you code faster or deeply understand Vim. So I think that there is room for some official tutorial after the vimtutor and before a perfect use of the ultimate :help. The tutorial will totally avoid to be a scientific precision on how-to-exactly-define-terms-the-best-way-possible-using-the-less-words-possible. The tutorial should be well written and take time to explain things to novice in simple words. The idea is to bring people to the Vim highway efficiently. Such a basic tutorial could _also_ help novices to avoid asking questions that will make any Vim guru feel like saying: 'RTFM' As an example, here are some topics proposed: Non-technical: - Phylosophy behind Vim Where you would learn why it will help you to be faster in your everyday coding and what the user has to understand to truely enjoy Vim (talk about the need to touch-type to be truely efficient for instance) - Phylosophy behind the three modes (Normal, Visual, Insert) - Phylosophy behind the command line mode - Differences between Vi and Vim - Explain the folder structure and how the various config files work - Differences between Vim on Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix and console use - Configure once, use everywhere (or how to adapt your config to a different platform) - etc. Technical: - The big apple : Think different! Where you would learn that you need to think gg instead of 'CTRL-home' or xp to invert the order of two letters etc. This could have a list of standard keyboard shortcuts mapped to a list of Vim shortcuts. - Basics of Vim variables (:set :let etc.) - My first function : hello world! - Basic understanding of filetypes - Basic folding - Basics of syntax highlighting - Basic mappings & abbreviations - etc. Help! I need somebody - Phylosophy behind the :help command: how to 'think' :help - How to use :help efficiently - Good references to go one step further - etc. Of course, this is only a guide of what would be useful to a beginner but I firmy believe that some official tutorial is needed. Maybe this could be achieved by doing a 'best off' the various tutorials already available. Let me know what you think of this, Laurent A.J.Mechelynck wrote: Meghdad Azriel wrote: I was just kidding ;) I know that they are not secret but, they´re not that intuitive... and i´m still learning how to use that help effectivelly... maybe I neet to read those basic files with care...

Mac OS 10.3 - v7.0 - netrwPlugin.vim
Hello, I have not upgraded for some time, so today I did. I read a thread here about the new way the split vertical file explorer and the netrwPlugin.vim plugin. I also got used to the way the old directory and file list would open a file when clicked in the main window. So I changed the name of netrwPlugin.vim to stop it and pasted the old explorer.vim into my plugin directory. I don't have the time nor the expertise to go through the netrwPlugin.vim to see if I will be breaking anything I might really need. I couldn't find anything in :help about it, nor on the vim site or the authors site. Any thoughts? Thanks, dstefani

At the moment I do it by telling vi something like "go to line XXX, delete everything, insert text": :386,$d o :r /tmp/arXiV_2.txt :w! ~pau/WWW/arXiV.html But the inconvinient is that I have to modify the vim script whenever I add something to the web page, the number line 386 is wrong... and it is very tedious The place of the web page to embed it looks like this (without blank lines) : Between and - . . . . http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/astro-ph/0605080";> astro-ph/0605080 Títol/Title: Populating the Galaxy with low-mass X-ray binaries Autors/Authors: Paul D. Kiel, Jarrod R. Hurley Comentaris/Comments: 17 pages and 9 figures; accepted by MNRAS We perform binary population synthesis calculations to investigate the incidence of low-mass X-ray binaries and their birth rate in the Galaxy. We use a binary evolution algorithm that models all the relevant processes including tidal circularization and synchronization. Parameters in the evolution algorithm that are uncertain and may affect X-ray binary formation are allowed to vary during the investigation. We agree with previous studies that under standard assumptions of binary evolution the formation rate and number of black-hole low-mass X-ray binaries predicted by the model are more than an order of magnitude less than what is indicated by observations. We find that the common-envelope process cannot be manipulated to produce significant numbers of black-hole low-mass X-ray binaries. However, by simply reducing the mass-loss rate from helium stars adopted in the standard model, to a rate that agrees with the latest data, we produce a good match to the observations. Including low-mass X-ray binaries that evolve from intermediate-mass systems also leads to favourable results. We stress that constraints on the X-ray binary population provided by observations are used here merely as a guide as surveys suffer from incompleteness and much uncertainty is involved in the interpretation of results. http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/astro-ph/0605093";> astro-ph/0605093 Títol/Title: Toroidal LNRF-velocity profiles in thick accretion discs orbiting rapidly rotating Kerr black holes Autors/Authors: Zdenek Stuchlik, Petr Slany, Gabriel Torok Comentaris/Comments: Updated version of the Section talk at Albert Einstein Century International Conference at Palais de l'Unesco, Paris, France, 18-23 July, 2005; to appear in the Proceedings; AIP style files included; 8 pages We show that in the equatorial plane of marginally stable thick discs (with uniformly distributed specific angular momentum the orbital velocity relative to the locally non-rotating frames (LNRF) has a positive radial gradient in the vicinity of black holes with spin a>0.99979. The change of sign of the velocity gradient occurs just above the center of the thick toroidal discs, in the region where stable circular geodesics of the Kerr spacetime are allowed. The global character of the phenomenon is given in terms of topology changes of the von Zeipel surfaces (equivalent to the equivelocity surfaces in the tori with constant specific angular momentum distribution). Toroidal von Zeipel surfaces exist around the circle corresponding to the minimum of the equatorial LNRF velocity profile, indicating a possibility of development of some vertical instabilities in those parts of marginally stable tori with positive gradient of the LNRF velocity. Eventual oscillatory frequencies connected with the phenomenon are given in a coordinate-independent form. http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/astro-ph/0605094";> astro-ph/0605094 Títol/Title: Basic properties of toroidal structures in Kerr--de Sitter backgrounds Autors/Authors: Zdenek Stuchlik, Petr Slany Comentaris/Comments: Updated version of the Section talk at Albert Einstein Century International Conference at Palais de l'Unesco, Paris, France, 18-23 July, 2005; to appear in the Proceedings; AIP style files included; 8 pages Perfect fluid tori with uniform distribu
deleting repeated blocks of text
Hi,
this is the continuation of a post... The point is that I have a file
where blocks of text appear sometimes once, sometimes twice or even
three times etc...
I would like to find out how to delete the blocks that are repeated,
so that in the end I am left with a text file in which the blocks
appear only ONCE
The text file looks like this, for instance:(please note that there
are NOT blank lines in my text file, it's just after pasting here)
What a call a "block" is a paragraph starting with a "http://xxx.lanl.gov/..."; until the next "http://xxx.lanl.gov/...";

In order to improve the reverberation-mapping based estimate of
the mass of the central supermassive black hole in the Seyfert 1
galaxy NGC 4151, we have reanalyzed archival ultraviolet
monitoring spectra from two campaigns undertaken with the
International Ultraviolet Explorer. We measure emission-line time
delays for four lines, C IV 1549, He II 1640, C III] 1909, and Mg
II 2798, from both campaigns. We combine these measurements with
the dispersion of the variable part of each respective emission
line to obtain the mass of the central object. Despite the
problematic nature of some of the data, we are able to measure a
mass of 41.1 (+/- 7.3) million solar masses, although this, like
all reverberation-based masses, is probably systematically
uncertain by a factor of 3-4.

Títol/Title: On the viability of
holistic cosmic-ray source models
Autors: J. Aublin, E. Parizot
Comentaris/Comments: 5 pages, 1 figure,
Accepted for publication in Astronomy
and Astrophysics
We consider the energy spectrum of cosmic-rays (CRs) from a purely
phenomenological point of view and investigate the possibility
that they all be produced by the same type of sources with a
single power-law spectrum, in E^{-x}, from thermal to ultra-high
energies. We show that the relative fluxes of the Galactic (GCR)
and extra-galactic (EGCR) components are compatible with such a
holistic model, provided that the index of the source spectrum be
x \simeq 2.23\pm 0.07. This is compatible with the best-fit
indices for both GCRs and EGCRs, assuming that their source
composition is the same, which is indeed the case in a holistic
model. It is also compatible with theoretical expectations for
particle acceleration at relativistic shocks.

Re: modify a text file
> when I run it I end up with an empty file... ? Well, you should be able to trace through it by entering each of the commands individually instead of sourcing the file to see where things are going funky. Places matters could go awry: I solved it like this: :1,/received/d :$?^\s*For subscribe options?,$d :let @a='' :g/hole\|relativistic\|LISA\|black\|supermassive\|intermediate/?^\s*astro-ph?,/^\s*astro-ph/-y A :%d :put a :1d :%s!^\s*astro-ph/\(\d\+\)!http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/astro-ph/\1";>& :w! /tmp/2.html :q and using the cat /tmp/1.html | vim -s foo_arXiv.vim - Well, we all have our peculiar areas of specialty. When it comes to things like plugins, syntax-highlighting nuances, i18n/encoding stuff, and indentation, I leave that to the folks on the list that are far more well-versed than myself. I'm more of an "ex" & regexp sorta guy, doing some crazy stuff there, but otherwise, just using pretty stock unadorned vim. I guess I am one of the syntax-highlighting guys... Now, as you can see, I am trying to generate an html out of the result ... the idea is to create not a web page but an htmlized file to include it later into a "real" web page... The problem is that I have to tell vim to convert the end of line and empty spaces into , and I do it like this: :1,/received/d :$?^\s*For subscribe options?,$d :let @a='' :g/hole\|relativistic\|LISA\|black\|supermassive\|intermediate/?^\s*astro-ph?,/^\s*astro-ph/-y A :%d :put a :1d :%s!^\s*astro-ph/\(\d\+\)!http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/astro-ph/\1";>& :%s!/^.// :%s!/^$// :w! /tmp/2.html :q But it doesn't work...

Hi Tim, somehow my email was partially deleted... ?? cat file | vim - What stands the "-" for? Then, clean up the stuff we don't want 1,/received/d $?^\s*For subscribe options?,$d to strip off the header and footer. this worked out nicely My first-pass solution will end up with duplicate results if more than one of your keywords appear in the same "block" but on diff. lines: :let @a='' :g/red\|relativistic/?^\s*astro-ph?,/^\s*astro-ph/-y A :%d :put a :1d :wq name_of_output.txt this is the content of foo.vim? On separated lines? I also tried with CTRL + V + ENTER at the end of each line, but the result was the same... cat input.txt | vim -s foo.vim - when I run it I end up with an empty file... ? I'm sorry I couldn't come up with a clean way to snag just the unique paragraphs easily without having an instance show up as its own result-block. I was saying in my deleted email that in any case it's a nice lesson... When I think that people here think I know vim... what a shame! Anyways, it's at least one sorta-solution to what you describe. -tim

modify a text file
Hi, I am struggling with sed and gawk but I guess that it'd be possible to employ vim in the command line (it's to make a script that will be automatically launched every 24 hours) but I don't have any idea of how to do it... How could I select the blocks (see file ahead) of a text file (say .txt) in which some particular words appear? Imagine that I want to keep the blocks containing words like "black", "supermassive", "red", "intermediate", "relativistic"... and delete the rest of blocks (and also the header and bottom of the file) What would be the command line with vim? (or are there other possibilities?) I would also like how to reemplace the astro-ph/0604565 with http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/astro-ph/0604565 for all numbers, not only for 0604565 ... any hint??? thanks!

E. Harris (SAO), H. Krawczynski (Washington University in St. Louis) Comments: 5 pages; 3 figures; latex. This paper is based on a poster contribution to the meeting, ``Triggering Relativistic Jets'', held in Cozumel, MX at the end of March 2005 and will be published via a CD distributed with a special issue of Revista Mexicana de Astronomia y Astrofisica, Serie de Conferencias, eds. W.H. Lee & E. Ramirez-Ruiz, 2006 Motivated by the large number of jets detected by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and by the inverse Compton X-ray emission model (IC/CMB) for relativistic jets, we revisit two basic questions: ``If the medium that carries the jet's energy consists of hot electrons, can we use the physical length of the jet to constrain the maximum electron energy?'' and ``Why do jets have knots?'' Based on the two non-thermal emission processes for X-rays from jets, we consider constraints on the jet medium and other properties from these two simple questions. We argue that hot pairs cannot be the dominant constituent of the medium responsible for the jet's momentum flux and that some mechanisms for producing fluctuating brightness along jets (rather than a monotonically decreasing intensity) are precluded by observed jet morphologies. astro-ph/0604528 : Title Minimal Noncanonical Cosmologies Autors Gabriela Barenboim, Joseph D. Lykken Comments: 20 pages, 5 figures, 3 tables We demonstrate how much it is possible to deviate from the standard cosmological paradigm of inflation-assisted LambdaCDM, keeping within current observational constraints, and without adding to or modifying any theoretical assumptions. We show that within a minimal framework there are many new possibilities, some of them wildly different from the standard picture. We present three illustrative examples of new models, described phenomenologically by a noncanonical scalar field coupled to radiation and matter. These models have interesting implications for inflation, quintessence, reheating, electroweak baryogenesis, and the relic densities of WIMPs and other exotics.
