how to copy into system clipboard

2013-11-16 Thread Bee 
The OP said 'I am using iterm2 with the vim that comes with the Mac OS X 
system' 

To determine if that version of vim has access to the clipboard, type the 
following on the vim command line:

echo has("clipboard")

If it returned '0' then there is no clipboard support.

When I setup a new Mac for a client,
I make it look/work like Snow Leopard.
As the client learns about cool new features,
the client can change the settings.

OS X will become like iOS and iOS will be better.

quit macvim if it is running

move:

~/Library/Preferences/org.vim.MacVim.plist

to the desktop
and restart macvim
if that works
the preferences were corrupt
then delete the old org.vim.MacVim.plist
a new one will have been created

Re: Oddities In Running MacVim

What are the permissions on MacVim.app ?

That 'file' is really a folder (bundle) and should have the 'x' set.

In Terminal do this... (if this is where you put MacVim)

cd /Applications/MacVim/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS
ls -la

What are the permissions of:

/Applications/MacVim/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/MacVim

Does MacVim open if you do this?

./MacVim

If MacVim opens, quit MacVim
Go back to Terminal, are there any messages?

Maybe I can help address point b).

On osX 10.4.11 and 10.6.8 I have MacPorts' terminal vim version
7.3.762 and it is compiled with the option: +clipboard

Which means that the system clipboard is supported.

Since I also use vim on Linux and Windows, I have made my .vimrc
portable for different versions of vim, some without +clipboard
support.

if has("clipboard") "?vim6.2 "?tiny7.2
  vmap ,y "+y
  nmap ,p "+gP
  " ^= prepend += append
  if has("gui_running") || has("xterm_clipboard")
silent! set clipboard^=unnamedplus
set clipboard^=unnamed
  endif
endif

So...
,y in visual mode to copy  from vim to another Mac app
,p in normal mode to paste from another Mac app to vim

Using ,p I do not need to know how vim's 'paste' option is set.
:help 'paste'

You will need to make a copy of your '.vimrc',
re-name it 'v', and save it to the desktop.

You need this step because the Mac file open dialog
will not see the .vimrc file because it is a unix hidden file.

When you get it on the ios device you will need to
re-name it back to '.vimrc'.

Now:
+ connect ios device to the Mac with usb
+ open iTunes
+ click on the ios device mounting icon
+ at the bottom click the vim icon
+ click the Add... button, you will NOT use 'Save to...' button
+ use the file open dialog to browse to your 'v' file
+ select it and click Open

The 'v' file will show in the list above the Add... button and
it has been transferred to the ios device.

You do not use the 'Save to...' button when transferring to the
ios device, only when transferring from the ios device to Mac.

Note:
strings in '...' single quotes are to be typed LITERALLY
but without the single quotes.

Now for the tricky part:
+ open vim on the ios device
+ type this LITERALLY 'nm  ' then press return
- that will map linefeed to carriage return
+ type ':E' then press return (note uppercase 'E')
+ you should now be browsing the file system and
- see the 'v' file
+ use two fingers to scroll and hide keyboard
+ use one finger to select the 'v' file
+ select the 'v' file and type 'R' for Rename
+ delete the 'v' and type '.vimrc'
- because you do not have cursor keys
+ use two fingers to scroll and hide keyboard
+ use one finger to select the '.vimrc' file
- then press return
+ you should now be back in vim looking at your .vimrc file!
+ add 'nm  ' to your '.vimrc' file

Re: Vim app for iPad

2013-01-05 Thread Bee 
>Thanks, Bee. I'm encouraged by your response.
>I'm curious:
>Are you able to see what's on the iOS device from iTunes?

Yes. In iTunes,
specific apps are listed and you can transfer to/from them.
Many apps have DropBox support, which to me, is preferable.

>You speak about iPhone editors.

Most are for both iPhone and iPad, hence...
I will refer to all as ios editors.

Vim is my favorite, this IS the first version, although it works
amazingly well, it needs DropBox support, system clipboard
integration and a few bug fixes.

Other free editors: DraftPad, Nebulous Lite, LocNotes, Nocs are
quite good. They usually have DropBox support and use the system
clipboard.

Another editor called 'free writing' is quite experimental, some
interesting ideas but difficult for me to use. I like its custom
keyboard.

>What can be done with them?

The iPhone's on screen keyboard is tiny, but I can take notes,
compose responses to vim_use, vim_mac... it is easier with an
editor than in a web browser text box.

These things are not possible, yet, with ios vim because it does
not have a way to use the system clipboard for copy and paste,
even though :ve shows +clipboard.

I have compiled reference files I use to support my client's
systems and networks. ios vim will open very large files quickly
and is able to use regex search. Whereas ANY other ios editor I
have tried is extremely slow doing the same task, most do not
have a search, and none I have yet found have regex search.

With ios vim I can also edit those files and create new ones.

Bad news: those files, currently, are not accessible by anyother ios
app.
Good news: those files, currently, are not accessible by anyother ios
app.

That is to say they are out of sight, so if the iPhone is lost,
there is little chance a casual iPhone user would even know of
their existence.

It is even possible to open encrypted vim files transferred from my
Mac.

>Navigate to files on the device?

Yes, I can navigate anywhere on the device, read files, but this
iPhone is NOT jailbroke, so I do not have write access. When I
did 'look around', I felt more comfortable with the ios,
knowing it is truly unix.

>Move files in and out? Shouldn't these work on the iPad, too?

Yes, any ios device... iPad or iPhone are the same.

>Might there be enhanced versions of them around somewhere?

There are MANY editors for ios.
There is rumor of Microsoft Word for ios.
Apple has Pages for ios. The Mac version of Pages is excellent!
I have not yet downloaded it, but iText Pro, one of my favorite
simple word processors for the Mac, has an ios version called
iText Pad.

There are also several spreadsheets for ios.

As I understand, yes, all files are in the ios vim app 'package'.

I have added these to ios vim using iTunes:
.vim - this is a folder containing plugins...
.vimrc - the vim preference file
.gvimrc - the gui vim preference file, and ios vim IS 'gui'

The .vimrc is similar to what I use on Mac, Linux and Windows:
relative line numbers, incsearch, ignorecase
autoindent, nosmartindent, expandtab, smarttab,
tabstop=1, shiftwidth=1, because iPhone display is tiny
mappings for easier navigation within a file
nmap   to ease unix system file navigation

The .gvimrc:
set guifont=Courier:h18
because the default font for iPhone is too small.

I have not found any ios vim specific documentation, but have
played enough to find one and two finger gestures.

It is possible to use a bluetooth keyboard with the iPhone,
but I do not have one, and I am curious what can be done
with the minimum. The small screen is very tiring to view but...

ios vim is amazingly usable, with DropBox and clipboard support
it will be the best editor I have tried for ios, but it may be
that I am just a HAPPY vim user on Mac, Linux, Windows, and now
ios :)

Re: Vim app for iPad

2013-01-04 Thread Bee 
Hi Eric

I used iTunes to put .vim .vimrc and .gvimrc on an iPhone for Vim app
to use. It is working quite well.

The .gvimrc has only:
set guifont=Courier:h18
As the default font on iPhone is too small.

The .vimrc is a tiny version of what I use on Mac, Linux and Windows.
If you like I will post it here.

I also used iTunes to upload several 'reference' files with info I
need remotely. These files are big enough that other iPhone editors
are too slow and do not have the search capability.

I use :E to look around the ios (not jailbroke) file structure.
:help :Explore

I have reported a few bugs, and DropBox support is talked about.

I also hope to see an update.

:help fullscreen
...
Note: Setting 'fullscreen' usually changes the size of the Vim
control.  However, for technical reasons, 'lines' and 'columns'
will currently only be updated when Vim runs its event loop. As
a consequence, if you set 'fullscreen' and 'lines' or 'columns'
in a Vim script file, you should always set 'fullscreen' after
setting 'lines' and 'columns', else 'lines' and 'columns' will
be overwritten with the values 'fullscreen' sets after the
script has been executed and the event loop is ran again.

Try this in .gvimrc, remove the reference to guifont

set lines=30 columns=80

Do you have that line in .vimrc?
If yes, try it in .gvimrc

Works here with one exception, my laptop screen is

But this works great:

Another possibility... to open each file in a tab:

alias vimm="$macvimpath/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -gp $@"

I like to separate the path from the app to make it clear where the
app is,
just in case, later, I move or rename it.

These are in my ~/.profile file.

This works well to open files from the command line:

alias mvim='open -a macvim "$@"'

To have Finder open files with double click:
- find a file of the type (extension) you want to open in Finder
- in Finder highlight the file
- use "Finder > File > Get Info" --or-- command+I
- click the triangle next to "Open With"
- select MacVim, you may need to navigate using "Other..."
- finally select "Change All"

Then all files with that same extension will open with MacVim

Maybe your download was corrupted.

Go here:


Download:
MacVim-snapshot-64-SL.tbz

Once xpanded it should contain:
mvim
MacVim
README.txt

Copy MacVim to your Applications folder.

It works great here, 10.6.8

Thank you Björn.

I have added
let macvim_skip_colorscheme=1
to the .vimrc
I am now ready for the next snapshot.

Will there be any new snapshots for osx 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

If not, I have edited your gvimrc to add the conditional and it works
fine.

Hello Bjorn

I found a simple solution that works well for me.
I would like to request the feature added to MacVim.

I added a conditional to your $VIM/gvimrc

if !exists('default_colors')
  if !exists("colors_name")
" Use the macvim color scheme by default
colorscheme macvim
  endif
endif

And I added this line to my ~/.vimrc

let default_colors=1

Now MacVim does NOT clobber any of my settings,
BUT it will default to your setting!

Thank you for the suggestion.
At first I thought that worked, statusline, linenr, incsearch now all
work.

But then I tried to turn on/off syntax highlighting and got an error
message:

E185: Cannot find color scheme mine

If I use a .gvimrc for the gui highlight commands, all my colors work.

Ah but for one glitch, if I toggle syntax highlight (which works), the
linenr and statusline change to something else (not mine).

None of this happens on MacOS gui vim-app, Linux gvim, WinXP gvim,
MacOS terminal vim, or Linux terminal vim.

gui highlight in .vimrc fails

2012-01-07 Thread Bee 
I have found a 'problem' with the highlight command in MacVim.
MacVim snapshot 53 -- osx 10.4.11
MacVim snapshot 60 -- osx 10.6.8

Neither one respects a gui highlight in .vimrc such as:

highlight Visual NONE ctermbg=Yellow ctermfg=Blue cterm=Bold
guibg=Yellow guifg=Blue gui=Bold

The same .vimrc works on MacOS with MacPorts gui vim-app 7.3.353 !
The same .vimrc works on WinXP with gvim 7.3.386 !
The same .vimrc works on Linux with gvim 7.3.372 !

Since I do not have Lion, and will not any time soon, I can not test
more a recent snapshot.

** Will this be or has this been changed or fixed? **

I have added the gui highlight commands to .gvimrc and they work.

It is just more convenient for them to be in the same highlight
command.

Note: I am using Textpander, an older version of TextExpander for osx
10.4.11

The first use of Textpander in MacVim 7.3 (53) after changing to
insert mode does NOT work, but after that it works! Leave insert mode,
restart insert mode, the first use of Textpander does NOT work, but
after that it does!

Similarly, Textpander works in terminal vim 7.3.146 insert mode after
the first try.

MacVim's :winpos works differently

2011-02-19 Thread Bee 
MacVim's :winpos works differently

MacVim seems to measure the top left from the bottom left,
whereas all others measure from the top left.

Why the difference?

I positioned all the following approximately the same, top left, on a
1024x768 display:

MacOSX compiled with MacPorts
  vim-app   7.3.107   X 0, Y 22
  vim   7.3.107   no display, but :winpos 0 0 works
MacVim  7.3-53X 0, Y 746  Note: 768 - 746 = 22

WinXP gvim  7.3.107   X 0, Y 0

Linux gvim  7.3.89X 0, Y 0
Linux  vim  7.3.89no display, but :winpos 0 0 works

see gui.txt or :help winpos

:winp[os]
  Display current position of the top left corner of the GUI vim
  window in pixels.  Does not work in all versions.

:winp[os] {X} {Y} *E466*
  Put the GUI vim window at the given {X} and {Y} coordinates.
  The coordinates should specify the position in pixels of the
  top left corner of the window.  Does not work in all versions.
  Does work in an (new) xterm |xterm-color|.
  When the GUI window has not been opened yet, the values are
  remembered until the window is opened.  The position is
  adjusted to make the window fit on the screen (if possible).

mvim alternate -- Open files by drag-n-drop in Terminal vim

2010-03-07 Thread Bee 
Open files by drag-n-drop in the Terminal version of vim

The following AppleScript enables me to open files by drag-n-drop with
the Terminal version of vim.

Copy the script to a "Script Editor" window and save as an
"application".

Edit "myVim" to point to the version of vim you want to use in
terminal. The following should work for the default install of MacVim:

  set myVim to "/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim"

I added the resulting AppleScript application to the Dock and the
Desktop, making it easy to open files by drag-n-drop in the Terminal
version of vim.

I do not have Quickstart enabled.

So that is not the problem, I tried all combinations of:
[ ] Launch Vim processes in a login shell
[ ] Use ATSUI renderer
[ ] Enable Quickstart

And history was not saved.

Then I was inspired...

I used  :qa!  to close all the files I was using as tests and THEN  
command+q to quit MacVim, restarted MacVim and there it was... a  
history of the commands issued in the last session.

It seems  command+q  does not update  .viminfo

command line history

See VIM REFERENCE MANUAL > cmdline.txt
--or--
:help :history
:help q\:
:help q\/

When using MacVim or terminal vim, I can use up-arrow to recall  
previous commands. Also :history, q: or q/ will open a window showing  
the previous commands. All this works in MacVim or terminal vim in  
the current session.

The problem is after quitting MacVim, and starting again the commands  
issued in the previous session are no longer there, ie NOT saved. The  
terminal vim does save those commands in the file named  .viminfo

Using :history, q: or q/ with MacVim will show the items  
in  .viminfo  but new commands issued in MacVim are not persistent  
across sessions.

history not saved

When I quit MacVim then restart, the history has not been saved.

If I use a cli vim, history IS saved and shows up later in MacVim.

What am I missing? Is it a preference? They both use the same .vimrc.

When I quit MacVim the restart, the history has not been saved.

If I use a cli vim, history IS saved and shows up later in MacVim.

What am I missing? Is it a preference? They both use the same .vimrc.

clear a register

2009-01-28 Thread Bee 

This global command searches for "beep" anywhere in a line of a file  
and copies it to register a.

The use of uppercase "A" appends it to register a rather than  
overwriting.

:g/.*beep.*/normal "Ayy

This works fine unless there is already something in register a.

Is there a simple way to clear a register before issuing this global  
command?

Since MacVim displays syntax colored text, would it be possible to

open and convert binary plist to text?

2008-11-24 Thread Bee 

I am sure there is a way... BBEdit does this.

I can use terminal or OnMyCommand to convert a binary plist to text:

plutil -convert xml1 __OBJ_PATH__

Then open that with MacVim or any text editor.

vim will open compressed files on the fly, so there must be a way to  
open and convert plist files on the fly.

Do you know how?
