Re: How to check is colorscheme exists?
> In .vimrc I want to check if colorscheme COL1 exists, use it, else use COL2?
That's quite simple:
try
colo COL1
catch /E185:/
colo COL2
endtry
Another approach is to check if the colorscheme file is in place:
if !empty(globpath(&rtp, 'colors/COL1.vim'))
colo COL1
else
colo COL2
endif
Cheers,
Marcin

Capturing Raw Mousepresses Past Column 192
nno <silent> <esc>[ :call PrintCoordinates()<cr>
fun! PrintCoordinates()
let k=[getchar(0),getchar(0),getchar(0),getchar(0),getchar(0)]
ec k
endfun
I don't know if there is an easier way, like some sort of options setting to get vim to pass on the raw mouse codes? Anyways, everything up to column 192 works as expected, I get [77,35,191,59,0], say, but past 192, I only get the column value, the row value goes to 0. Ie, [77,35,193,0,0].
When actually clicking and the mouse presses register all the way up to column 223, as expected.
By the way, I have ttymouse=xterm2 and I'm using mintty and cygwin.

The preceding is _not_ correct -- I was misremembering my
experiments. The actual conditions under which the results of (1
and 2) were seen was:
*) start conemu by typing at Windows Run prompt:
c:\opt\conemu\conemu64.exe
*) Does not matter whether cmd shell is used or if bash shell
is used via: C:\opt\msys\1.0\bin\bash.exe --rcfile
c:\home\suresh\.bashrc
*) Start vim.exe via:
"c:\opt\vim\vim74\vim.exe"
-cur_console:h0
-u vimrc_for_test_vim_in_conemu.vim
--noplugin
contents of vimrc used above is:
set runtimepath=./vimfiles,$VIMRUNTIME
set term=xterm
set t_Co=256
let &t_AB="\e[48;5;%dm"
let &t_AF="\e[38;5;%dm"
colorscheme calmar256_dark_new
"colorscheme rastafari
set laststatus=2
set statusline=%<%f%h%m%r%=%{strftime(\"%I:%M:%S\ \%p,\ %a\ %b\
%d,\ %Y\")}\ %{&ff}\ %l,%c%V\ %P%{MySetMode()}
set modeline
function! MySetMode()
let b:my_mode = mode()
return ''
endfunction
finish
Under the above conditions, the results of (1, 2) are seen. Note
that for my usual usage of vim (with all my plugins sourced),
":verbose map <up>?" returns "no mapping found".
Note in the above the setting of term to be xterm. This is in
contrast to what Grégory Pakosz wrote around September 24, 2013,
in a post titled "Vim + colors inside ConEmu under windows. (see
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/vim_use/WpJGscUUZNU/9RD8AzeYAlMJ):
| However, set term=xterm breaks arrow keys (and also keypad).
My experiment described above contradicts the preceding -- at
least for the use of arrow keys in normal mode.
Grégory Pakosz continues with the following:
| As Vim's documentation mentions, Vim under Windows doesn't
| really understand term being set to something else than
| 'win32'.
Would appreciate any elaboration on the above.

A novel approach I've seen in a plugin (I don't remember which one), is to write all the desired shell commands to a temporary file, write it as a .bat file, and then execute THAT file in the shell instead of the original commands. Then very little escaping is needed.

And you can skip cmd.exe if you use :!start (:help :!start).
But :!start doesn't wait a process until exit.
I hope system()'s first argument could take a List value and skip cmd.exe...

Re: Escaping for system()
Hi.
Passing arguments to programs on Windows is difficult at several points,
especially when you pass multiple arguments or *special character* at many many sides...
Vim side:
on Windows, when 'shellslash' option is set, shellescape() returns a string wrapped by single quotes which cmd.exe doesn't recognize.
So I implements a shellescape() function which is not affected by 'shellslash' option value.
https://github.com/vim-jp/vital.vim/blob/9159770df1ba4b7b63da7a20fa7906bf66f6ebe/autoload/vital/__latest__/Process.vim#L140-L148
Windows side:
Windows doesn't support multiple arguments by Win32API-level.
A system call to run a new process(CreateProcess()) only has one command-line parameter including a program name and arguments.
So a program must parse one concatenated argument to arguments.
But this process was done by startup routine automatically generated by compiler thus usually you don't concern about it (in C, startup routine is called before main()).
But there are two problems here:
1. There are programs that implements a startup routine by itself.
For example, cygwin's binary executables implements a startup routine by itself to parse UNIXy special characters like glob pattern ("*").
2. cmd.exe and CreateProcess()'s source code is closed.
Thus we can't see precise parsing process.
There are 3 important points to doubt when you debug:
cmd.exe -> CreateProcess() -> startup routine -> [a program accesses arguments ...]
Each processes parses arguments and may get wrong recognition there.
Conclusion:
Passing arguments to programs on Windows is too difficult ;(
There are no *right* way to pass arguments.
We always have to choose *mostly right* way...

Incidentally, I did notice that wikia allows signing in with Facebook. I have not tried it yet. But if you don't want to create *yet another* new account, that might be an option.

Web bots will have no chance guessing ?vim_edit=1 unless a programmer
adopts the code for this special wiki. Unless this happens I don't care.
There is so much I could care about. I already cared about limiting the
amount of SPAM which can be done at vim.sf.net (eg by limiting the
amount of POST requests per second etc)...
Why bitbucket? Because I feel Vim could benefit from people having
a simple way to contribute (to both VIMRUNTIME and vim - even if they
add topic branches only ..) bitbucket allows git and mercurial,
and vim source is stored in mercurial.
Also I like the way how bitbucket organizations can be managed - by
letting people access individual repositories or be admin.
However I've hit one issue: No idea how to upload a special key so that
a server can update a repository without creating a new user.
I hope that these were the replies you've been waiting for, if not reply
again.

Once again thanks to John and Fitz for all the wonderful work that you have done to keep the wiki alive for us. I think it is important that we are having this conversation at it is bringing up a lot of questions that I initially did not think about.
JohnBeckett:
"

This is a good point point but this not mean that we should turn a blind eye on the fact that it is littered with lots of ads. With my current status, I feel comfortable that I can secure a domain for the next 10 years - In the interim it would be great if we have a dedicated resource who would be looking into the future of how we can privately own our content and site. I understand that we all have jobs and families but we do this because we like it! How are other projects able to maintain a private hosts? Will the main python site stop if Guido gets hit by a bus? - These are some of the things we need to look at.

Great point John, it is important that we have one and only one account that everything goes through. Marc could you please respond to my last response to your message?

Re: Vim Weekly
> how do you plan to combat spam?
What has been the issue with vim.sf.net - it was not even possible to
activate accounts by forcing users to click on links in mails.
There are two kinds of spammers:
- bots
- human users
I'm not sure we even found out which kind of spamming happened more
often.
Unless I know that I feel its enough to be smarter than bots which
should be simple. Of course my judgment could be wrong.

Let's not forget (IIRC :): When the spam tips started, you could post tips without logging in which is sort of an invitation for spam. vim.org still doesn't use captchas to guard against bots registering as new users.

From what I can tell there is a lot of good stuff on the Wikia site. I just really wish that it didn't have to be so tightly tied to the specific hosting site that it's on.
And I should mention participation-wise: I would *like* to contribute to something on GitHub. These days it's becoming increasingly uncommon, in my experience, to find a programmer type who does stuff and does not have a GitHub account. Quite to the contrary, I do not have any account on Wikia. I first *heard* of Wikia when I started coming across some of the tips on the Vim wiki there. I do not voluntarily spend time on that particular hosting site and I do not want to set up yet another account on yet another site when the proportion of use would be so much in favor of something like GitHub, which I use basically every day for all kinds of projects and where it is by the site's very nature easy for me to make or suggest improvements.
While we are on Wikia etc.: Thanks to Ben Fritz, John Beckett, and all the others who help or have helped to maintain or edit or contribute to or set up the Vim wiki there. :)

On the contrary. vim-wikia was started specifically BECAUSE the original
vim tips, hosted on vim.org, were seeing excessive amounts of spam, and
it was too hard to deal with the spam. Wikia provides staff to help
fight spam, filters, revert tools, page protection (temporary), etc.
One of the biggest goals of the vim tips, is to allow ANYBODY to add or
comment on them (or edit them, in the wiki anyway). Requiring a github
or other account to edit will turn too many people away. Requiring all
submissions to go through a single person will also discourage
participation.
Look, it's cool that you want to share your Vim knowledge with the
community with a weekly tweet or something. But it's not going to
replace the tips in the current form.

I dont doubt that but that is probably because it has not yet gained a lot of traction from the community and also web bots. I was not there when vim-wikia started but I am pretty sure that they made such assumptions.

There is not a lot of code left to write, we (meaning us the community/maintainers) have over 100+ subscribers who have given us their emails and expect 5 vim tips in their mailbox on monday. I could certainly port some of your code to what I already have.

The new organization created to host all the code is https://github.com/vimweekly - I agree that we need to have a centralized location for all vim related projects, there is no point in having multiple accounts trying to do the same thing. By the way Marc, I noticed that you have a github account and wondering why you guys chose bitbucket since the majority of devs use github. The only thing that I can think of is because is free but wait all the code we write is meant to be public and free for all.

Yeah we can certainly have a conference call with the other maintainers of vimcommunity to lay out potential plans for the project. Yes it is definitely going to be be greppable. Since other subscribers are already asking about rss feeds and all the other good stuffs I have decided to write an API that would return either a JSON or XML feed (has not yet been implemented but should be done by this weekend)

This might not be possible as we already people waiting for their 5 tips.
Remember that is about creating an entirely new vim experience in the community. It might take a really long time before we get there but a first step must be taken.

If this works inside `:try` then it is a bug. Though I am unable to reproduce it. `:silent!` variant is documented.

I think, there is no such thing as an empty text object. If the text
object isn't valid, Vim raises an error and this also happens in normal
mode (you can see, by :set visualbell and see how the terminal flashes
when doing yi< and the cursor not being within a <> pair.
This errors causes, that your mapping will be aborted.

Re: map with empty yank
thanks for your prompt reply! It's still not clear to me whether
yanking a non-existent text object always raises an error or not.
cpoptions E seems to apply to y<motion> but it's not clearly stated
(at least, I can't find that statement) what happens with y<object>.
There is an easy workaround that I mentioned before: :norm
yi<<CR>:norm yi(<CR>. It's somewhat hackish but it's concise. It
should be noticed that :norm yi<yi( also fails. This last observation
reinforces the "y<object> always raises an error for non-matched
objects" theory.

That is explained (although only briefly) at :h map-error
I am not sure, there is an easy way to achieve what you want. I think,
something like this could work:
fu! MapAngle()
if searchpairpos('<', '', '>', 'bn') ==# [0,0]
return "i("
else
return "i<"
endif
endfu
omap <expr> i_ MapAngle()
Best,

map with empty yank
I would like to yank the inner contents of <...> or (...) expressions in a mapping. In normal mode I can try with the two-yank sequence yi<yi(. One of the yanks will be empty and the other will match the desired contents. The net effect is to match the contents no matter they were inside () or <>. Now if I put that in a map it seems to abort when the first yank fails, so it only matches the contents for <...> expressions (because yi< is the first probed yank). If I put :normal yi<<CR>:normal yi( instead, the mapping works the same than when I manually type it in normal mode. The E flag is not included in my cpoptions.
Could someone clarify this behavior, please?

I know - testing tips and judging which to use is most work, correct.

I haven't seen a single spam commit on my wiki yet. And if it happens
git commits are trivially to revert or drop. My idea is to be
"uncommon" and simple. adding ?vim_edit=1 to a page is very simple - but
no bot will know about it.

If you start using my wiki (or wikia) you can start right a way without
writing additional code.

Which organization? I and Zyx (and Shougo) are part of
bitbucket.org/vimcommunity (which also want sto be open to any such
projects). Drop me a line if you want me to add you as admin.

I think this all should be on the main vim wiki, we should try to
collaborate as much as possible - and I think it should be
usable/greppable on disk.
There are many tips already, people just have to read them.
I'd say: Start spending your time on the tips, then send them to the
mailinglist, do this twice, then think about how to move on depending on
the feedback. You can still write plugins etc.
To get started I'd even say people can put there tips here (I've put
almost everything I find useful on my wiki ..)
If you want to write plugins I'm not going to stop you - just wondering
whether its most important to get started.

Never thought about that, definitely a great idea and would surely be implemented very soon. Stay tuned.

Never really considered support for RSS but with the amount of feedback and support I am getting on the project I think I will go ahead and implement it. I will keep you posted!

Hello Marc,
Thank you very much for giving me heads up on what is out there and potentially could be of use. The only problem here is that we seem to have a different take on how the project should work.
My goal
- We need one person to serve as a door keeper to the project (something like the linux kernel project) the main objective here is to fight spam and verify that the tip actually works.
- Users should not be allowed to edit the content on the main site, all tips would be submitted on github via pull-request or simply editing a file. (Again trying to fight spam - I don't think a spammer would want to go through such pain)
- To avoid information overload, I propose that tips would be released to the public in an increment of 5 tips every week. It is going to take long time but we need to start from somewhere.
In the next coming weeks I am hoping to write a command line utility that will enable users to submit tips from the CLI, possibly somebody else could create a vim plugin to make this available from inside VIM.
Finally, with the amount of feedback and support that I am getting on this project I have migrated the project from my personal github account to a github organization account.
Let me know what you think - Its an open source project is heavily driven by the community.

Remove the \n from the command and the last line is removed. However, aren't all lines, including the last, unless in binary mode, appended with a newline? For example, write a new file such as above, cat it and you'll see a newline at the end (the shell prompt is on a new line). 'set list' shows the end of line marker ($) (as does 'cat -E'), but not specifically a newline marker. How to have vim show newlines with 'set list'? I don't see it in listchars.

Careful with line deleting substitutions when using :g/:v. It will not work always:
For eg. with a file like this
--
Line 2 : arch sparc asd
Line 3 : arch arm
Line 4 : arch aaa
---
..the "arch aaa" will not be deleted.
Tim's & Ben's method would do it.
One more way to do this is:
:g/.*arch\&.*\(sparc.*\)\@<!$/d
