Hello Vim List, I am having a problem trying to echo a message triggered by an autocmd on BufEnter when entering a tab page.
Try this: :au BufEnter foo echom "Entered foo" First lets try opening a window on the same tab page: :sp foo The message appears in the command line area as expected. Switching between windows, the messages is seen each time foo is entered. Wipe foo with: :bw foo Now try a tab page: :tabe foo The message appears as expected. However leaving and then entering the foo tab page does not display the message! Typing :mes shows that the message was indeed displayed. What is overwriting it? -- Best regards, Bill
