True asynchronous support is badly needed. But for compatibility with existing plugins updatetime must not be removed. > * remove backwards compatibility to Vi.

If you want them out-of-the-box you have to use things like janus and it is good. Integrating them into the core will badly hit their competitors and I definitely not willing to see ctrlp in the core since I use Command-T and saw ctrlp source code. > * ability to renumber buffer numbers. This enhancement alone I would pay for. After I started using Command-T I nearly never use buffer numbers (except for the plugins). And doing this will introduce a huge amount of bugs because nearly *every* plugin that deals with buffers assumes that buffers cannot be renumbered. > * concept of window-local buffers and tab-local buffers You can emulate it to some extent. I would rather request API for digging deeper into vim core to emulate it to greater extent if you need. Never saw a need for such a thing since switching buffers with Command-T is pretty fast. > * similar to window location list, a window header list that sits on top of > the window.

Also note that as quickfix window with locations list is mostly a regular window it can be moved anywhere from the location it was opened (including moving to the other tab, though it would render this window useless as far as I see). -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
