I use several versions of vim throughout the day, all inside xterms, and some inside tmux running in an xterm. Some versions of vim I have noticed break my long standing way of adding newlines in a :s/// substitute command.
To make all %% sequences turn into a new line, what I'd type is: colon percent s slash percent percent slash ctrl-v ctrl-m slash g enter And that would look like this in vi, nvi, and vim up until recently: :%s/%%/^M/g On the versions that break that, it instead looks like this: :%s/%%/^[[27;5;109~/g Which will not (does not) provide the subtitution I want. I have found the vim I'm using on NetBSD inside xterms without tmux do this, but that same vim on NetBSD inside xterms with tmux does not do that. :version VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Jan 7 2020 09:55:54) Included patches: 1-2200 [...] :r! uname -sr NetBSD 8.1 Inside tmux, $TERM is "screen", outside tmux $TERM is "xterm", $XTERM_VERSION is "XTerm(330)". Figuring out the exact differences between the screen and xterm terminal definitions is not something I want to dive into. If I use vim.old on that same system, the substitute works inside and outside of tmux. On vim.old: :version VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Jun 11 2019 15:16:00) Included patches: 1-1517 Is this a known bug that has been fixed in a patch after 2200? If so, I'll request the vim here be updated. If not, can this be fixed? (And then I'll request the update.) thanks, Elijah -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
