Gvim in windows not autocompleting tabf arguements
Hi, I have installed Gvim 7.3 on my windows XP and openSUSE 11.3. While in suse doing "tabf $MY" and then tab gives "tabf $MYVIMRC", but in windows "tabf $MY" and then tab is not auto completing. The feature is working fine with "e" command, e.g. "e $MY" and then tab gives "e $MYVIMRC". Does anyone have any idea why could this be happening...

The optionally parameter to that function is supposed to be a path. Therefore the command :OpenLastModified was provided, that allows for tabcompleting a directory optionally. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate, on what the file

sample file, with which we can see your problem.
What I posted was an excerpt of a .po file. Here is a full "string" with

#| "select each device you want to use one at a time."
^^ old English msgid
msgid ""
"The following direct access storage devices (DASD) are available. Please"
"select each device you want to use one at a time."
^^^ new English msgid
msgstr ""
"Următoarele Dispozitive de stocare cu acces la disc (DASD) sunt disponibile."
"Vă rugăm să alegeți pe rând fiecare dispozitiv pe care doriți să-l folosiți."
^^^ translation
[blank line]
"strings" are always separated by (at least) one blank line and a .po
file usually contains a lot of them (hundreds or more), which is why I
won't post a complete file. A translator must not, ever, touch the
"other stuff" and the current msgid.
After editing the translation the fuzzy flag must be removed to indicate
the translation is ok (handled by po.vim) and the previous msgid becomes
useless and is removed as well (I have a patch for po.vim).
It would be of great help to the translator to have the differences
between the previous and current msgid highlighted, especially in long
strings with only small changes.
Regards,
Andrei
Attached script defines a :DiffMsgId command, which attempts to
overlay diff highlighting to the current section using matchadd().
E.g. it works on the following section:
#| msgid ""
#| "The following disk access storage devices (DASD) are available. Please "
#| "select each device you want to use one at a time."
msgid ""
"The following direct access storage devices (DASD) are available. Please"
"select each device you want to use one at a time."
msgstr ""
"Urmatoarele Dispozitive de stocare cu acces la disc (DASD) sunt disponibile."
"Va rugam sa alege?i pe rând fiecare dispozitiv pe care dori?i sa-l folosi?i."

Windows version with Python, Ruby and Lua support?
Hi, this is my first post on this list so first I'd like to thank all the Vim contributors for your work on this awesome piece of software that is VIM. That being said, I have a question regarding python, ruby and lua support (or lack thereof) on the official Vim installer for windows. I am trying to use some vim scripts that require python or ruby support (such as command-t) but when I try to use them on a fresh install of Vim 7.3 on windows they do not work. I've searched on the vim webpage for links to the versions that include support for these external languages but I have not found them. I also wonder why the default windows installer does not ship with support for python and ruby. In my opinion the additional file size should not be a problem for most users. So if you could point me to where I could download the versions of vim and gvim that have this language support I would be very grateful.

This will open the last modified file from the current working directory (basically the directory that :pwd returns). You can however optionally open the last modified file from a different directory. Therefore you type: :EditLastModified followed by a space followed by a directory, e.g. D:\ followed by a return, e.g: :EditLastModified D:\ When using the 2nd form, you can use your Tab key to complete a directory.

How to get a command that comes completely from a mapping into ": register
Hi, I wonder if there a way to access the last command even if it comes from mapping. Vim help says I can't: ": Contains the most recent executed command-line. Example: Use "@:" to repeat the previous command-line command. The command-line is only stored in this register when at least one character of it was typed. Thus it remains unchanged if the command was completely from a mapping. I have a mapping that enables the command mode and prints a command there, so I only need to press enter to execute it. The command doesn't get saved into ": register because I didn't type a single character, fair enough. However if I move the cursor with left or right arrow then it counts as typing and the command get saved. Eh? Any ideas how can I overcome that bug/limitation and access the last command no matter where it comes from? -- Aarto -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

I wonder if there a way to access the last command even if it comes from
mapping. Vim help says I can't:
": Contains the most recent executed command-line. Example: Use
"@:" to repeat the previous command-line command.
The command-line is only stored in this register when at least
one character of it was typed. Thus it remains unchanged if
the command was completely from a mapping.
I have a mapping that enables the command mode and prints a command there,
so I only need to press enter to execute it. The command doesn't get saved
into ": register because I didn't type a single character, fair enough.
However if I move the cursor with left or right arrow then it counts as
typing and the command get saved. Eh? Any ideas how can I overcome that
bug/limitation and access the last command no matter where it comes from?

ok, this was not a very good suggestion ...
try this one:

Now keys are fed as if typed -> the ":" register is changed.

How to get ruby support for gvim73 on a windows XP machine.
Hi, I'm using gvim73 on windows xp. I tried to use the command-t plugin. This gives the message that vim needs to be compiled with ruby support. I'm a complete newbie on compiling gvim. I understand it's possible on a linux machine. But how to do that on windows XP? Or can you give a ruby.dll or something to get this supported without compiling it? If not, which (open source?) compiler do you need for that on a windows XP machine? Rgds, Jeri -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

Silly question maybe: What's the purpose of color schemes
Hi, I see many times people create color schemes for vim. With special names as well. To me personally I have only one scheme with my personal prefferences. And for all my filetypes it's all the same. Why do you use several different color schemes? What does it help you? Why for example do you prefer dark color schemes (black/grey brackground, soft letter colors). I have a white background with black letters, or hard blue, green, red, brown.

For me, I prefer light-on-dark instead of dark-on-light because I find it easier on my eyes -- fewer photons bombarding my optic nerves. It's been my choice ever since I had Turbo Pascal's IDE with the ability to set my color preferences (back in the late 80's or early 90's). My preference would be for my entire PC to use such a colorscheme (including Thunderbird and my browser's defaults), but enough programs break by assuming black text will appear visible, forcing their font-color but not background-color. I've had better success in Linux (than Win32 or Mac) with setting my system (GTK) scheme to be grey-on-black, but some apps still have enough issues with it to use dark-on-light for my defaults. At least Vim (and my xterm/rxvt) allows me to do as I please. -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.

Why for example do you prefer dark color schemes (black/grey > brackground, soft letter colors). Color schemes are helpful to accommodate different ambient light levels. By having an editor/screen brightness similar to the surrounding area, the eye is not forced to adjust when looking away from the screen (at the phone, keyboard, reference card, etc.) and then back again.

I'd be surprised if many people used several different schemes. The point of having color schemes with names is that you can share them with others. Or just to know that you're loading the correct scheme when moving between systems. I would also be surprised if most people created their own schemes from scratch. It's much easier to start with a named scheme[1] and modify it, if you really want to.

That's roughly my preference too, so I use the 'dual' scheme (actually a version modified to work w/ 256-color terminals, but same difference).

Rgds, Jeri Color schemes in Vim serve the same purpose (and are essentially the same thing) as what may be named "themes" or "skins" in other kinds of software: allowing some variety in the look-and-feel with no change of functionality, so different people may each prefer a different look-and-feel while at the same time they all enjoy the same functionalities (including, in Vim, the ability to change functionality, either at run-time by setting options, or at compile-time by including or excluding features). Myself, I'm "almost" content with the default colors of [g]vim, but not completely, so I've created for my own use a scheme which I called "almost-default" for lack of a better name. I don't think it's worth being made part of the "official" distribution, especially since it includes settings for User1 and User2 (which are used in the 'tabline' function defined in my vimrc), so it is not really self-contained.

But other answers in the thread are also true. Also, I can easily imagine som kind of scenario in which people could find useful to have more than one color scheme, for example, for different file types: It is not my case, at leas with vim, but for shell sometimes I change the color scheme of a given console (konsole in my case) to easily distinguish from (to many) others spread on my virtual desktops. For example to avoid closing some important process which must not be interrupted. In the case of vim, for example, you could want to emphatize some file which is periodically accessed by running process which is doing something and want to avoid writting broken/uncomplete version by mistake.

I usually only use one at a time, but every month or three I get tired of it and switch to a new scheme. No real reason, just preference. I keep the old ones around for when I get bored again. I do have two practical reasons which I have from time-to-time that make me switch color schemes temporarily, in which case it is nice to have a variety of them installed: 1. When working on a laptop in a brightly-lit environment, I need to experiment with colorschemes for readability 2. My email client at work does not support background colors on text, but it does support foreground colors.

Actually, that plugin may not be involved at all. Here's a use case for what I'm envisioning. (1) one plain text file in unified diff format is opened in vim (2) vim auto-detects that this is a unified diff file (3) for lines that have changed, the *parts* of lines that have changed are specifically highlighted (similar to the highlighting provided when two files are opened with vimdiff) Here's a mockup: * http://yfrog.com/j1vimintrafilediffhighligp * http://imagebin.ca/view/LmlbQoR.html Bonus use case step: (4) provide keybindings that can (a) cycle through differences (b) cycle through intra-line differences Does that make sense? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

However :b also works with partial buffer names. So if you have three buffers called "first", "second", "third" :b f is enough to go to the first. Combined with :ls (and some knowledge about opened buffers) this allows very quick access.

I've always used dark schemes when I can. I find them much easier on the eyes. I think paper white schemes were the result of brainwashing (aka marketing), originally by Apple, that made people think dark screens were old, dinosaur stuff, and then most people prefer what they're used to, and they get used to what they're given. I often have to use light backgrounds to view some websites (black on black is hard to read) and I often wince. With a black background, the colour contrasts in syntax colouring are much stronger, considering light levels. For example, green on white in RGB is #00FF00 on #FF, that's roughly 33% on 100%, a factor of 3. Inverted, magenta on black, #FF00FF on #00, 66% on 0%, is a larger factor. I suppose I should calculate that as 66% on about 8%, the level at which I just fail to read. With a black or quite dark background, there are more usable colours for syntax highlighting. On a white background, colours near yellow or cyan are unreadable, but only blue on black has trouble. Regards, John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
