Although I knew in general of the quickfix approach, I hadn't looked at in particular for this problem, because what I'm
doing is an extension of other work (actually this is a small part of getting the python intepreter to run code "as I
type", IOW, tring to get vim to act as a specialised front end to the python interpreter).
But I don't see the quickfix as being appropriate, because the python interpreter does not produce a list of errors,
rather it throws an exception on the first, you fix that, then get the next, ...
Anyway back on the main line - adding a redraw at the approriate time is the
fix.
I add the eval into your example, like this:
:python << EOF
import vim
def normal(command):
vim.command('normal %s' % command)
normal('100G01l')
cw = vim.current.window
print cw.cursor
normal('1G01l')
print cw.cursor
x = vim.eval('input("Enter some stuff")')
print cw.cursor
EOF
then I see:
(100,1)
(1,1)
Enter some stuff
(1,1)
But - despite the (1,1) being shown before the "Enter some stuff", it looks like we are still down the end of the file
when I answer the question.
Adding the redraw, like this:
:python << EOF
import vim
def normal(command):
vim.command('normal %s' % command)
normal('100G01l')
cw = vim.current.window
print cw.cursor
normal('1G01l')
print cw.cursor
vim.command('redraw')
x = vim.eval('input("Enter some stuff")')
print cw.cursor
EOF
Then I see the screen change to line 1 when the "Enter some stuff" shown.
Thanks for the help.
