Bug: bad symlink handling on windows.

2009-11-04 Fir de Conversatie Ian Kelling
It seems by default, vim overwrites windows symlinks with a copy of the file on save. This is instead of following the symlink and writing to the correct location. I have some setting in my .vimrc (not sure which one) that slightly alters this behavior. It writes to the symlinked location, but ma

Ok. I've also found I can fix it by doing :diffoff in the new tab, and :diffthis in the old tab. I can understand having to do :diffoff to change the foldcolumn and other diff settings that were derived from the first window. But I think the folding being screwed up in the original window is a bug

Doing vimdiff, then :tabe %, I find that the new window still has that left the foldcolumn, and the folding doesn't work in the original window where the file is diffed. It does work right if I open regular vim and do :tabe %, and then :diffsplit second_file. How can I make it the way I would ex

I've read that Xorg X server can have keyboards change modes to do international character set. It seems like you should be able to make a vim mode where jikl are arrow keys, $ = end, ^ = home, ctrl-u = pgup, ctrl-d = pgdn. There are some others. Anyone heard of this before? Any suggestions? - Ia

For 5. There is an option called 'paste'. I suggest you read about it, and if you want, you could bind a key to something similar to :set paste/"+p:set nopaste. I forget the exact syntax. For 4, you can do something similar, like :inoremap l I didn't test these things, but vim has great documen

I believe there is a bit of misunderstanding on this issue that I can clear up. The posters is right but the solution is the wrong one. There are 2 behaviours that happen to both be turned off and on with the same option, but one of them is incorrect behaviour, aka a bug, and the other is a format
