Re: New feature: cursor at the beginning of tab character in normal mode

I found the section called VIEWING TABS in the chapter 05.7 of the standard vim manual. It contains the following: :set listchars=tab:-,trail:- with the explanation what the setting does. However there is no word concerning cursor position there. That chapter seems to be the best place to write how to emulate the standard cursor behaviour in vim. But: 1. it would be difficult for a novice who came from another editor to find that place and he/she won't probably find the solution of the problem. Are there better places? 2. is the solution in question correct on all platforms/terminals so that we are allowed to add such a comment to the help file? It works on x86 and x86_64 in xterm and linux terminals but what about others? Vladimir, I suspect Bram would accept a patch against the help.

Are there better places? Agreed. But havin it _somewhere_ is better than nowhere. 2. is the solution in question correct on all platforms/terminals so that we are allowed to add such a comment to the help file? It works on x86 and x86_64 in xterm and linux terminals but what about others? As this is a UI thing and quite basic, I am willing to bet that it will work everywhere. Bram, would you?

hilinks and potentially other script bugs
Hi, Chip and other script developers, I have an old Vim 6 lying around I use in 'emergencies' and discovered that it chokes on the hilinks plugin and others. The problem seems to be the :for command. Vim 6, it seems, is unable to even skip over it when it's in an if version=700 or such conditional, but throws up errors such as 'return not in function' or 'endif without if'. Perhaps it sees the :endfor as ending some other block since it doesn't know about :for. Why it would do this, I don't know, but it seems to do something like that. I don't know if there's a workaround, i.e. a way you can rewrite the plugin to still work on Vim 6 minus a few features. It would be nice if there were. But in lieu of that, I think scripts that use :for will need to :finish prematurely for Vim 7, as simply putting the :for in a conditional on the version doesn't work.
