I want a vim with +eval feature, which implies at least the Normal

+eval means you can have conditional statement and many fundamental
features for creating any plug-ins. (in vim, no plug-ins often means
no syntax-highlights)

I won't consider it useful if the script doesn't even support the "if"
statement.

Of course, your mind may vary.



My point of view is different: I don't know what I may someday want to 
use, so I compile a Vim with everything I can (Huge features, all kinds 
of mice, including at least xterm and GPM, that I can get included, 
GTK2, Gnome, all interpreters that my distro offers and I can puzzle out 
how to put in; I even include +xterm_save which AFAIK can only be done 
by modifying feature.h, not via configure) except a very few features 
which I know I'll never want (only one so far besides what configure 
auto-excludes: -tag_old_static, which also AFAIK requires patching 
feature.h).


Then I compile (under the executable name "vi" and in a shadow directory 
so as not to confuse the Make machinery) a "tiny" version with the bare 
minimum, both as a "sanity test" that new features can actually be left 
off, and to see how wide the range is in executable file size (currently 
0.5 vs 2 MB). I use it only rarely, but still more than actually "never".



Best regards,
Tony.

The standard procedure is to use the 'find' utility (if Unix),
or your own script, to build a file that contains a list of each
file you want indexed, then feed that to cscope with the -i
option.

debian packages 4 kinds of vim:

1. vim-tiny: This is Tiny version of vim, pretty useless IMO.
2. vim: This is Huge version of vim without GUI support and without
X11 support.
3. vim-gtk: This is Huge version with GTK+2 support.
4. vim-gnome: This is vim-gtk with gnome/kde session support.

So you see, you cannot get a normal version from debian package
manager. And you really need the Huge version just in order to get the
syntax highlight.

Personally, I always compile my own vim, because I want a console-only
vim with X11 support. (console vim with X11 supports mouse)

Re: how to prevent loading python.vim

[bill lam]

When I compiled vim from source, I chose "normal" built. However since
debian squeeze can offer updated vim, I switched to use vim from its
repository.  It offers vim.gtk (huge) and vim.tiny (indeed tiny) but
no "normal" version.  Now I link vim to vim.tiny and only run vim.gtk
when I need more functionalities.

No, I was not aware of that! This is brilliant, the only reason I'm

Can autocomplete pull from deleted text?

[Paul]

I would find it extremely useful if text completion (using Ctrl-N and
Ctrl-N-Ctrl-X-Ctrl-N) could access lines of text that used to exist in
the current buffer and session, but were deleted. Perhaps the
completion function could look at the undo history for this?

Is there any setting or clever scripting that could make this happen?

The : begins an ex command.  The part of the display on which you
enter ex commands is the command line.

There are a number of ways to do this.

1.  If the cursor is still on the desired word when you begin the ex
command, you can insert that word into the command by typing
Ctrl-R Ctrl-W.  See

:help c_CTRL-R_CTRL-W

2.  Yank the word into a register before beginning the ex command.
For example,

yiw

will yank the word the cursor is in to the default register.
Then you can insert the contents of that register into the ex
command by typing Ctrl-R " .  (That's Ctrl-R followed
immediately by a double-quote.)  See

:help c_CTRL-R

3.  Insert the contents of the search pattern register (named '/')
into the ex command by typing Ctrl-R / .  See

:help c_CTRL-R

That has the feature that it will include the '\<' and '\>' at
the beginning and end of the pattern, which may or may not be
what you want.

Gary

You can use get() -- see :help get()

I have once created a simple prototype-like library that provides for
defining a method that returns default values: 
http://github.com/tomtom/prototype_vim

Example (fib with memoization):

let x = prototype#New()
let ncalls = 0
function! x.__Default(n) dict
let g:ncalls += 1
if a:n <= 1
let self[a:n] = a:n
else
let self[a:n] = self.__Get(a:n - 2) + self.__Get(a:n - 1)
endif
endfunction
Should be equal map(range(0, 10), 'x.__Get(v:val)'),
\ [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55]
Should be equal x.__Get(10), 55
Should be equal ncalls, 11

If that was, what you were asking for.

Hi Daniel,

Are you aware that if you leave the search field "blank", i.e.

  :s//replacement/

then Vim just uses the most recent search text?  This means that if you use
the * command to search for a word, and then execute the command above, the
word will be replaced with "replacement" without you needing to type it in.
Similarly, you could do

  :g//

to find all occurrences of the most recent search term in the file.

There is no need for an extra function to restrict your search to
visual mode, you can just use \%V in your pattern.

This is how I normally restrict a search range.

For example, to restrict a search to the current {...} block:

vaB/\%Vpattern

I use this often enough I've defined a mapping as well:

vnoremap  /\%V
nnoremap  /\%V

I diddn't want to remap / by itself, because being able to search to
extend the range of a visual selection is way too useful to lose.

Unfortantly the adding of \ contains=vhdlFold doesn't do the trick.
I have now the following:

syn region vhdlFold

  \ end="end\s\+\z1"
  \ contains=vhdlFold

However if I open a c file it does include the closing bracket char '}'

When I look into the c.vim file in "C:\Program
Files\Vim\vim72\syntax\c.vim" on my windows XP PC I can't discover why
it works on a c-file. It might be, but I'm not sure, because of the
following code, but I can't make this work for VHDL.

Out c.vim:
# Start of text #
[...]
" This should be before cErrInParen to avoid problems with #define ({ xxx })
if exists("c_curly_error")
  syntax match cCurlyError "}"
  syntax region cBlock  start="{" end="}"
contains=ALLBUT,cCurlyError,@cParenGroup,cErrInParen,cCppParen,cErrInBracket,cCppBracket,cCppString,@Spell
fold
else
  syntax region cBlock  start="{" end="}" transparent fold
endif
[...]
# End of Text #

Any idea why?

Best Regards,
Jeri

I give an alternate way

function! VModeSearchRange()
return '\%>' . ( line("'<") - 1 ) . 'l\%<' . ( line("'>") + 1 ) .  'l'
endfunction

vnoremap / /=VModeSearchRange()

You can v-select the range you want to search and then press "/",
continue type the word you want to search.

depending on how you define those sets of lines you can also use
'searchpair()' if the cursor is currently inside the block you want
to search through. Wrapped in a command this would look something like

  :command -nargs=1 SearchInSet  call searchpair('^BEGIN$', , '^END$')

if those set of lines are delimited by BEGIN and END. You can than use
this command with

  :SearchInSet search-string

Jürgen

You can do this using folding and the 'foldopen' setting and the 
folddopen command. See :h 'foldopen' and :h folddopen

Alternatively, try the NrrwRgn Plugin:

Limiting the range of a search

[James Kanze]

I'm currently editing some files which contain several more or
less independent sets of data.  At any one time, I'm generally
working on one, and only one set, delimited as a contiguous
range of lines.  I'd like to limit all of the search commands to
only consider this range.

I'm aware of using \%<'m and \%>'m in the search string, but
this has to be entered each search.

My initial idea was to fold the regions before and after the
range, but this doesn't seem to stop the search, and it
automatically opens the fold when it finds something in the
folded text.  I want it to not search in the folded text.  Is
there some option to make search ignore folded text, or some
other way of achieving what I want.

Is there any internal mechanism that convert the accessing key of dictionary to a specific function?

[winterTTr]

I mean if there is such mechanism in the vim script itself.
OK, maybe the title of this mail is not very clear for you to
understand, i just give an example.

let foo = {}
let foo.var = 100

we can access the value 100 by :
echo foo.var
echo foo['var']

i just want to know if there is a mechanism to convert
==> echo foo.var_not_exist
to
==> echo foo.__index__( "var_not_exist" )"pseudo code, the
__index__ does not exist as i know
, which __index__ is a method when the key can not be found in a
dictionary object.

I found this kind of mechanism in many script languages, such as python, lua.
With this mechanism, we can hack the dictionary to many "interesting" feature.

Is there this accessing mechanism in vim script?
# As i know it seems not.

Or is there an alternate method to accessing dictionary  when the key
is not found
, instead of showing error directly?
