Re: Spell not checking spelling
Correct me if I'm wring but 'txt' isn't a Vim filetype. I'm guessing when your vim opens up files with the .txt extension they have no filetype. You can check this by running the command 'set ft?'. Instead you'll either need to turn spelling on for all files which I showed you how to do in a previous email or you need to change you common below to use the BufRead and BufNewFile triggers to turn on spell checking for any file with the txt extension.

Put these environment variables in file
${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment.plist
This only works if the variables are static. Within this file no shell
evaluations, and therefore no dynamic
settings, are possible.
To edit this file without a proper property file editor use on command line:
plutil -convert xml1 ${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment.plist
vim ${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment.plist
# or mvim ${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment.plist
# save
plutil -convert binary1 ${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment.plist
The syntax of this file is pretty simple:
http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
VARIABLE_NAME
VARIABLE_VALUE
VARIABLE_NAME
VARIABLE_VALUE
...
"VARIABLE_NAME" and "VARIABLE_VALUE" of course have to be replaced with the
actual variable name,
respectively it's value.
There's no quoting done for values containing space(s), i.e. no double quotes
around the value, because in
this XML structure spaces already are preserved.
After a re-login the environment variables set this way should be effective. Me
personally would remove them
from any shell rc file (.profile, .bashrc, .zshrc, etc) for avoiding
"misbehavior"; Otherwise one might edit just
one place that sets these variables and forget about the other.
A short note at last: these variables are as of then, of course, not set when
MacVim (or any other program) is
launched form Dock, but on login and inherited to the started program the
normal way (i.e.: the parent makes
the child process launched inherit it's environment settings).
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Peter

Re: Environment Variables for MacVim
are you launching mvim or vi in terminal? if is mvim, than in the menu, click on 'edit; than select startup settings, see if you that is using the same .vimrc file, however, what is used in macvim gui should act the same to vi terminal, only some of the color schemes don't work under both.

Hi, Stephen, Sounds like you have things in your .bashrc (for interactive non-login shells--or, for some insane reason I have yet to understand, non-interactive non-login shells when invoked by ssh) that you want in .profile (for login shells). MacVim, like Terminal, launches a login shell when it starts Vim instances. But for MacVim it is not an interactive shell. Ben. -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.

Environment Variables for MacVim
I have some customizations in my .vimrc that depend on environment variables to work. If I call MacVim from the terminal these customizations work but if I launch it from the dock it doesn't. I assume this is because my .bashrc is not sourced when launching from the dock but it is when running from the terminal. Is there a way to ensure that the environment variables are set even when MacVim is launched from the dock? ...Stephen -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
