Print the reference manual

2021-04-22 Thread Ailen Vienne Sebastian
I know I can print a help doc to a text file with :e! cat $VIMRUNTIME/doc/filename.txt. But what about the entire reference manual? Not the user manual, the reference manual. It seems to be composed of different subfiles with different names. Is there any way to sweep through all the files in the r

Search bug/inconsistency with forward vs. backward search?

To reproduce, create an empty document with a couple of blank lines at the top, and a non-space character (optionally indented): $ vim -u NONE :set wrapscan " should be the default, but just to confirm :$put=['', 'x'] Now, search for that "first non-space character in the file" ( https://w

Gvim and Alt-F10

2021-04-22 Thread cjsmall
I'm on Xubuntu 20.04 and using vim 8.1 In gvim, the Alt-F10 key is co-opted to display the File pull-down menu. I have a series of remapped assignments for all of the function keys. These all work well for vim in a terminal window, but this single one fails due to this built-in menu assignmen

If i enter :r! cat $VIMRUNTIME/doc/*.txt it'll print all the help docs to a buffer. But how to select just the docs from the ref manual? Maybe a sort of "slice", all docs between doc a and b, perhaps? On Fri, 23 Apr 2021 at 01:29, Tony Mechelynck wrote: > On Thu, Apr 22, 2021 at 10:47 AM Aile

The window manager is possibly responsible for some of these Alt assignments. In gvim. on my system, Alt-[FETSBWH] display the File/Edit/Tools/Syntax/Buffers/Window/Help pull-down menus. Alt-F10 is the only function key of the twelve that is being co-opted and duplicating the Alt-F function. This

Following up to my own post: Tony was correct. It turns out that I CAN map the Alt-F10 key after all and it does do what I want withing gvim. However, if that key combo is not mapped, then the File pull-down menu gets displayed. I was confused because I have some mappings defined in .vimrc file
