Well, I am so happy I can post here again (I've been shut out for about 1/2 year for no apparent reason). So I need to catch up with the question backlog.
I used to be able to conjure regenerating timer events in vim 6.4 like this: " here's a nice workaround for a regenerative CursorHold event, suggested by " Antony Scriven au CursorHold * exe "norm! r\<ESC>" | call <SID>TimerEvent() the norm r \<ESC> kludge used to simulate a keypress to vim 6.4 (both on linux and win32) so that the event was regenerated after the usual 5 seconds or so. Not so anymore! I cannot get regenerating timer events in vim anymore and the only way I can think of getting around this is: 1. vote for special Timer events addon and pay for it 2. get a new kludge from you folks I don't know if option 1 is viable BTW. Please, a new kludge, you'll get recognition in my script. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
