Re: Date in a boilerplate file

Thank you very much for this suggestion. I think I will map this 's' command to an available key. An additional question, if you do not mind: why submatch(1), submatch(1) and not submatch(1), submatch(2) Thank you again! guido On 2020-06-23 09:56, Guido Milanese wrote: > &g

Date in a boilerplate file

In a project I am developing, I have written some boilerplate files to be used as headers for Markdown/LaTeX documents. One of the lines contains the document date, and ideally it should be: date: I know how to insert date from command line, but is it possible to embed the command in the

Saving key mappings

I know that macros and mappings are one of the most frequently discussed topics, so I do apologise if it is a question posed (n = n + 1) times. I have written a program that, obviously among other tasks, calls (g)vim and opens a given file. I would like to instruct my program to call (g)vim

Re: Vim as external editor for thunderbird

Good news. I found an extremely simple solution here: http://globs.org/thread.php?lng=fr=3099=1 The trick is: 1. open a 'write' session (a new message or a reply) 2. click on the toolbar (= composition toolbar) 3. drag the 'external editor' icon to the toolbar. Obviously, all of this after

Thanks for the suggestions. However: 1. "External Editor" does not work with the version of thunderbird I recently installed (45.7.0 on Linux xubuntu). Firefox refuses even to download it, but I succeeded with Chromium. 2. As I mentioned, I am using

Vim as external editor for thunderbird

Greetings from a rainy Northern Italy! After a new installation of my Linux box (xubuntu 16.10) I noticed that in the current version of thunderbird I cannot use (g)vim as external editor, nor was an appropriate plugin listed in the thunderbird pages ( _Muttator_ does not call vim, it should

Re: Load one key- map

Perfect, thank you. I think that using "-c" for short commands and a file for long sequences is a very wise choice. An additional question: how could I unmap the keys leaving the vim session without asking my user to unmap the keys manually? Could I run again vim "silently" from my bash script

Load one key- map

Dear all, I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill, but I'm lost in a (probably) very simple problem. I have written a simple bash script that performs some transformations in a file, calls (g)vim, waits for the user to edit the file, and exits. The problem is: * I have defined one
