Re: batch swap file recovery
Not sure if this may be useful for some type of faq or something, but
this did take me a little bit to figure out:
for i in $(find -type f -not -path "./.git/*"); do f="${i/.\/}"; echo
$f; \vim --cmd 'set backupdir=/home/swilson/.vim/swpfiles/' --cmd 'set
dir=/home/swilson/.vim/swpfiles/' --cmd recover -c wq -N -u NONE "$f";
done

batch swap file recovery
I lost some work in a git repo (it was deleted - I've recovered a
point in time - but vim has newer data). So, is there a way to give
vim a list of files and try to recover the newest version in the swap
file and close? I know, it may give old data, but this should be
pretty easy to pick out in git (based on additions/subtractions)?
something like:
find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -i{} vim . {}

Re: RFE: support POSIX standard and developing RE's
Instead of implementing one or another regex type in core, it might be better to know about and hook into libs for their regex engines. For example, libperl for perl's engine when +perl or libpcre as another option. IDK you can do the same with python, I think you can with ruby and IIRC Lua uses libpcre.

expand tab when copying into x
Generally when I copy something with hard tabs (a makefile right now)
into X ("+y) I actually want soft tabs even if I don't have expandtab
set for the file. But, if I paste into a console (IRC for instance) it
tries to do an autocomplete. Is there a way to expand tabs for just
this type of copy? Ie, I wouldn't want this functionality for yanks
into other buffers.

Move to previous tab after quit
When I quit a window with multiple tabs open, I am placed in the tab to the right. This is an issue because when I open a new tab, that is opened in the tab to the right which, if I'm working on different projects in one session, makes things out of order.

auto set
Is there a plugin to try to automatically determine the coding style
of a file? So, determine tabwidth, soft/hard tab, block style (so if I
hit { sometimes it needs a line break, sometimes not), etc.
I want something that tries to automate per file vim settings and not
something that corrects code style (which is the only thing can find).

Though you can also use soy from cli by running soywiki (which I would never do since I like one gvim session using tabs) so, I'm not sure if there's a usecase there. I'm tempted to say that you're still right in a stand alone situation as I use the hell out of macros (because I'm too lazy to think of a regex).

There are several programs which will send RSS to your email, which reduces the problem to one of accessing email within Vim. With the passing of Google Reader, I switched to rss2email (sends to your mailbox via SMTP). But there are some others such as rss2imap and feed2imap which cut out the SMTP sending and talk directly to your IMAP account. I haven't played much with "newspipe" but I understand it to be similar to the ones above. Once you have your RSS in your email, you can pull it locally with any of a number of tools: mutt, pine/elm/alpine, fetchmail, offlineimap, etc. (most of those save locally in mbox or maildir format, so you can just pull in the body; alternatively, several of them allow for using an external editor which usually defaults to vi/vim or $EDITOR or $VISUAL) One might even be able to cut out the mail part by directly using something like "rss2maildir" which might do everything you need. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

feature request - encrypt vim 'save' files
Some things that vim keeps can leak information. I'm curious if there would be any issues with encrypting backupdir, directory, undodir, and viminfo files? Basically, I'm thinking that either vim could either use a per file pass based on a keyring or a global password. If this feature were on and the password / decryption failed, a non-encrypted file could be used (encrypted filetypes would be defined with an extension so having one file with an encrypted and plaintext swpfile for instance, would be sane). That or the file just isn't written/used if the feature is on and no/wrong password is present. Thoughts? PS - If I open a file that allows write for a group I'm in, I can write it and will get a swpfile with permissions for my default group. This is a part of the data leakage I'm talking about. PPS - https://github.com/jamessan/vim-gnupg does the right thing (with not saving anything externally). -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

Re: regex variable
Just to be clear, I mentioned Ruby because don't like libpcre as much and haven't used ruby enough for Oniguruma (http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma/) to piss me off and afaik, there would be no detatching perl's regex engine from perl. So it was more of a comment of "I know these exist, would it be a good thing to have and a decent feature request to have the ability to compile other regex eingines in".

Re: Simplified logo concept
I agree with the need to update the logo (and the complaints about the old
one).
I would also like to see the web site maintained as a public repo. However,
to that end - the one thing I like about old looking web sites is that when
I open them up in lynx/links (rare, but when I do this I really need it to
work) nothing is lost and I can find what I'm looking for. If anything
breaks this, I'm absolutely opposed.

Re: Terminal escape sequence ^[[A
See terminfo / termcap also make sure you're using, exporting, and that the
emulator knows what terminal it should be emulating. Another hint, the
search path for terminfo (iirc) is: $TERMPATH, ~/.terminfo, /etc/terminfo,
/usr/share/terminfo - if you don't have a compiled terminfo file with the
right name in one of those places, don't try setting the terminal to the
name as it won't work.
It might also help to subscribe to some Unix related lists (or one for
cygwin or putty) or get on IRC. There's a technical reason for this - when
I Google (or search my email) for info related to this subject, if I see a
link or email related to vim in my search, I'm probably going to pass it by
thinking the question was misplaced and the responses probably a waste of
time. Ie, don't keep your questions on topic because the people reading
that forum might not care about or be ignorant of the topic, but because,
when you forget the answer and go to search for it again, it'll be way off
here in this forum you'd never think to look for it.

Re: Linux shell command line editing/movement
Yes, zsh has decent vim bindings. Advanced things like *-into (ci, di, yi) aren't there but *-until (ct, dt, yt) and F/f are so it's just a few more key strokes. Also, it's not hard to yank your current command into vim (good for saving and eval $(cat ) reuse stuff).

vim taking focus
This happens on quite a few linux windows managers but I'm not
discounting something outside of vim being at fault here - vim is the
only place I've experienced this.
I have a gvim session with:
gvim --servername $USER
and then I load new files with:
vim --servername $USER
and gvim will pop up into focus but generally my cursor will stay on
the command line.
I thought I had asked this before, so I googled and found quite a few
(not my) posts:
http://objectmix.com/editors/149356-gvim-window-not-given-focus-when-loading-file.html
http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/raising-gvim-window-to-front-td1169442.html
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/vim_use/r4NKUumRrqE/rZN3U-Xv5ZsJ
http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce/2006-January/016091.html
--remote-tab
Also (might be a different issue) - when I open a file and a file has
changed (the one I'm opening or one in another tab) like after a git
checkout and vim is confused and asks me what to do, vim won't
maintain focus after I deal with the dialog.
If none of this is clear or reproducable, I'll look into a perltk test case.
I have a script in my zshrc to automate this:
# make vim use or initialize a session with a new tab unless...
# alias this so that we can do \vim to get to the exe
vimfunc () {
local cmd
local servername
local remote
local misc
local version
local username=$(echo $USER | tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]")
local opt_ex="^-"
while [ $# -gt 0 ] ; do
case "$1" in
--servername)
if [[ $2 =~ $opt_ex ]] ; then
echo "Servername option without a parameter. Doing nothing."
return
else
servername="$2"
shift
fi
;;
--remote*)
if [ -z $remote ] ; then
if [[ $2 =~ $opt_ex ]] ; then
remote="$1"
else
remote="$1 $2"
shift
fi
else
# I'll deal with this properly if it is reasonable
to take multiple --remote* things
echo "Should not call two remote options at once.
Doing nothing."
return
fi
;;
--version*)
version="1"
;;
*)
misc="$misc $1"
;;
esac
shift
done
cmd="vim"
if [ ! -z $servername ] ; then
cmd="$cmd --servername $servername"
else
cmd="$cmd --servername $username"
fi
if [ -z $misc ] && [ -z $remote ] ; then
# list version if we asked for that
if [ ! -z version ] ; then
cmd="$cmd --version"
fi
${=cmd}
return
fi
if [ ! -z $remote ] ; then
cmd="$cmd $remote $misc"

increment list
Quite often I've got a list, either:
1 - do this first
2 - do this next
3 - go home
or
/^
([0-3][0-9])- # 0 Day
([A-Z][a-z][a-z])- # 1 Month
([0-9]{4})# 2 Year
/x;
And I alter something and need to change the list. I can make a macro
where I 'j0cw' or 'f#wcw' but then how do I make the incrementing
work?

I had a brief thought about writing a simple c program but here's the thing, If you can download a program that goes through x passwords per second and your program goes through x-100 passwords per second, and you're looking at a length of only 4 with ~96 keyboard keys, you're looking at 4^96 possibilities. So do the math for the difference that can make. If an optimized script does 1 million per second and your does 999,999,000 per second - and that's .01% of a difference in algorithm - you're liable to be much worse. So basically, figure out the algorithm, find a program that brute forces it (preferably utilizing your GPU), make a test file with vim, encrypt it with some short non-word phrase (say "q9") and run the cracker on that. If it works - should take a few seconds, you'll know you're good to run it on your actual file (or a backup of it). Run it and walk away. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

Re: Vim + tmux with mouse support questions
i don't have a solution for you - I saw this same thing with tmux and found :res / :vertical resize or C-W -/+, , =/| actually worked faster anyway. more fluid too. so, if anyone has a solution, i'll probably use it just to be able to show off vim coolness with the mouse again, but it won't do anything for my productivity :) this is not (necessarily) an issue with putty as i use rxvt+u and screen-256color terminal also, this is with mouse=all with vim 7.3 i'm guessing this is a tmux issue where it is stealing whatever mouse terminal command or signal (i don't really know how mice interact with the terminal) vim would use to respond the way you want. if this is the case, and you get no working response, there's a tmux user list as well with a decent community you might look to.

buffers in splits

Re: Using :sh
Probably not what you're looking for, but if you use tmux, bind sh to split-window (something or another - not at a computer) and use vimux to deal with buffers.

Re: Vim manual
I think beautifying vimdoc would be a good thing (though I don't really dig the dead tree version). I think maybe even expanding it so that it's more book like (maybe with examples from the list / web) might even be a good thing. I think a starting point would be to decide on a document format (tex probably?) and a conversion process so that the book is easily updated with the upstream? ... and a git for this to live (someone's github probably). I worry about the process of design by committee though... if I have a pull request where I use some font, who decides if its good or not?
