Hi all,
I'm sorry, I know this should be a problem that I can resolve for
myself, but I have searched the vim help under "bells" and "visualbell"
and tried what it says and it doesn't seem to work, so your help would
be greatly appreciated. Basically, I always get the beeping sound when I
press 'k' but I'm already at the top of the file, for example and I want
to turn it off. I am running vim 7.0 on Windows XP Pro SP2. I have:
set vb t_vb=''
in my _vimrc, I have also set it without the quote marks.
I also have
set novb
and:
set noeb
in my _vimrc and I still get the noise! I am starting to wonder if my
_vimrc is actually being read from, it is located in: C:\Program
Files\Vim, although I put a copy into: C:\Program Files\Vim\vim70 to see
if that would resolve it but it made no difference. Is there a way to
get vim to tell me which _vimrc it has read when loading? If I type:
:set t_vb=?
into gvim, I get:
t_vb=^[|f
which I believe reads as "escape character f" according to the help
file, which has the sentence:
In the GUI, 't_vb' defaults to "<Esc>|f", which inverts the display for
20 msec.
I don't understand what "inverts the display" means, unless it means
turn the display upside down, which sounds a bit strange!
Anyway, it was the fact that I seem to have the default value that leads
me to believe that my _vimrc isn't being read.
Sorry for the rambling, but if someone has the time to explain all this
to me (or even some of it) I would be very grateful, thanks very much
for any help.
Rob.
