Sorry to use the `e' word but does vim have similar to cperl

[Harry Putnam]

Any one here familiar with emacs cperl mode, that can tell me how to
get something similar when using vim?

If not familiar, `cperl-mode' trys to offer a host of short cuts that insert
quite a bit of standard code for you... a simple example is; if you
type `if' `cperl-mode' inserts:

  if (_) {
  }

With the underscore indicating where the cursor is left.

I vaguely remember using something with vim, years ago, that did
something similar, but no longer remember how to load that sort of
thing.

With my current vim setup (just the basic install on debian using
`aptitude install vim'), plus a .vimrc carted around from OS to OS for
years. 

If opening a perl script, I get syntax highlighting but when coding I
get no help... no tricky inserts or the like.

Further, sudoedit (which uses your $EDITOR) is safer than running vim under 
sudo.

At least from a security perspective, sudoedit is safer as many editors, vim 
include, provide a way to escape the editor and launch a shell.

"sudo vim /path/to/file" followed by ":shell" gives you root shell.

"sudoedit /path/to/file" followed by ":shell" gives you a shell as your normal 
user.

How to use stop directory in up/down search

[Ben Fritz]

I'm struggling to understand how to use "stop directories" in a combined 
upward/downward search.

I have the following directory layout:

/home/user/test/
| nosearch/
| | file.txt
| stopdir/
| | somedir/


I expect these commands in Vim to NOT find the file "file.txt", because the 
search should stop at "stopdir" and avoid searching the "nosearch" directory:

:cd /home/user/test/stopdir/somedir
:echo findfile('file.txt', '**;/home/user/test/stopdir')
 
However, instead I get the output:

/home/user/test/nosearch/file.txt

Likewise, if I do the following:

:set path=**;/home/user/test/stopdir
:find file.txt

Then file.txt is edited.

What am I doing wrong? I thought I'm doing just about exactly what's documented 
in the help under :help starstar, item 3) "Combined up/downward search".

Tested in a "HUGE" 8.0.987 build on both Windows 10 and an Xubuntu VM.

Well, if vim is run with sudo, it runs as root and uses root's
settings (vimrc etc). What you probably want is sudoedit. It
copies the file you want to edit and launches the default editor
on it. Once you quit, it copies the file back with propepr
permissions etc.

HTH,
Tobias

It helps if you tell people what OS you're using in the first place.

Cheers,

"sudo vim example" and "vim example"

[Maksim Yugai]

Hi, everyone.

Can someone help me? I saved vim config file into ~/.vim/vimrc. And when I use 
"vim example" all settings are working, but when I use "sudo vim example" - it 
doesn't work! Looks like problem with privileges. =) 

Use Debian Stretch. 

Thanks.
