Re: Saving key mappings

Hi Guido,

Apologies if this is tagnential or not helpful, but some more details of the specific use-case could be helpful! Is it something that you may be able to do with a filetype plugin or similar? If not, is it possible that you could install a plugin which needs manually called to be activated? That way, you could do something similar to `gvim '+MyPluginFunction' to execute MyPluginFunction when it loads.

I think that there are a number of ways to do this, and it's hard to know what the right way is without more details. I get the sense that what you're doing may be accomplished with a tiletype plugin, though!

Hopefully this is helpful,
Bailey

I know that macros and mappings are one of the most frequently discussed topics, so I do apologise if it is a question posed (n = n + 1) times.
I have written a program that, obviously among other tasks, calls (g)vim and opens a given file. I would like to instruct my program to call (g)vim with a given set of key mappings (the ones saved with 'q', as '@a', for example). Would this be possible?
Example: '@c' write '[', pasts the content of system clipboard using "*p and closes ']'.
I know that I can write all :map and :set settings using :mk. I see two options:
* if I cannot save key mappings, I could map the functions to a key, save them to a file: how can I read from this file?
* could marvim be a good solution? In order to publish my program, I would not like to use functions not provided by standard gvim.

The ideal would be something like:

gvim -u file-with-keypmapping textfile

but this would probably ignore the vimrc of the user!


Thank you!

Hi there,

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I tried sending to `vim@vim.org` but I think
that address is incorrect?

Anyway, I have encountered some unexpected behaviour when using the
`--noplugin` option. Namely, it does not seem to suppress packages
installed under `~/.vim/pack/...`

I have attached my Vim version information. My Vim configuration is stored
at https://github.com/cryptarch/vimfiles.git

Specific steps to reproduce the behaviour I am seeing:

$ mkdir -pv ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start
$ cd ~/.vim/pack/git-plugins/start
$ git clone https://github.com/w0rp/ale.git # A linting plugin
$ cd /tmp
$ cat > ./main.c << EOF
int main(int* argc, char** argv) { /* Note error in first argument */
return 0;
}
EOF
$ vim --noplugin ./main.c # ALE still reports error on first line.

Is there something I might have misconfigured? Am I using the new plugin
system incorrectly?

Thanks for your time :)


~ Tim

There are several possibilities, but first, how do I save macros
created by q + letter? Answer: They are in the register by that
letter. If your 'viminfo' setting is non-empty, these registers are
saved when Vim exits and restored at next startup. By default, up to
50 lines are saved for all registers, but you can increase or decrease
that number of lines to anything between zero and infinity.
see
:help viminfo-<
:help :registers

Mappings can be saved in a Vim script:
• Any mappings which you always want available should be defined in your vimrc.
see :help vimrc
• Mappings which you want defined only for files of a certain filetype
should be defined in a filetype-plugin for that filetype: for
instance, if you want certain mappings to be defined when you edit
html sources, you should define them with the <buffer> modifier in a
script named (on Windows) %HOME%\vimfiles\after\ftplugin\html.vim or
(on Unix-like systems, including Mac OS X IIUC)
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/html.vim — the "after" subdirectory serves to
define them "after" anything defined by the filetype-plugins
distributed with Vim, so the latter won't override your own mappings
see
:help :map-<buffer>
:help after-directory
:help ftplugin
• Mappings which you want defined only on demand can be defined in a
script placed anywhere Vim normally *won't* look for it. For instance
in .../macros/... instead of .../after/ftplugin/... Then you enable it
by reading that script with a :source statement. Use <buffer> or not
in the :map (or :map!, :imap, nnoremap, etc.) statement, depending on
whether you want these macros to be buffer-local or global.
see :help :source

Similarly, user-defined functions and commands can also be defined in
the same kinds of Vim scripts (including, for those you always want
available, in your vimrc)
see
:help :function
and in particular :help E124
:help :command
and in particular :help E174

To source a certain script at startup *in addition* to your vimrc, use
a -S {filename} argument on your Vim command-line. (If the script is
named Session.vim in the current directory, then its name can be
omitted provided that -S comes last on the command-line.)
see :help -S


Best regards,
Tony.

<C-\><C-n> goes to normal mode, not visual. And you should be able to
use :tnoremap to remap mouse clicks as well, though I have not tested
that. There are some examples for other modes in `:h mouse-using`.

What exactly do you call the cursor guide?

If you mean the horizontal and/or vertical highlight on the line
and/or column containing the cursor, that's governed by an option:
:help 'cursorcolumn'
:help 'cursorline'

If you want to freeze the viewport while your script makes changes
above the first visible line or below the last one, I'm afraid you
can't, but maybe there is some subtlety I missed.

If you mean the variously shaped spot at the very character cell
you're changing, then:
- in a terminal in a non-Windows OS, it's under control of the
terminal, the only way Vim can act on it is by means of the termcap
codes t_SI, t_SR and t_EI (qq.v.)
- in the Windows console and in gvim, it is under control of
the 'guicursor' option (q.v.)

If you mean the (left, right and/or bottom) scrollbars, then in gvim
they are under control of the 'guioptions' option (q.v.). In a
terminal they are under control of the terminal and I think Vim can't
touch them.

If you mean the numbers at lower right telling you (in numbers) the
current line and column, that's under control of the 'ruler' and/or
'statusline' options (qq.v.).

Oh, and before you ask, q.v. and qq.v. are common English
abbreviations for the Latin prases "quem/quam/quod vide" ("look it
up") and "quos/quas/quæ vide" ("look them up") respectively.

Can the cursor guide be toggled via a script/command line?

Normally I like the cursor guide on, but I'm writing some code that moves the cursor around the screen quit a bit and the cursor guide is distracting. I'd like the program to be able to disable it on start and then restore it at the end.

Maybe go into visual mode (ie c-\ c-n) with a mouse click and then go back to terminal mode with another click ??

Off course you can. Type CTRL+\ CTRL+N and the terminal buffer will become a regular buffer without ending the job. Then you can yank, mark or do whatever you need.

To go back to Terminal mode just type A.

I am using :terminal and it is great!, thank you.
I have two questions if anyone can help -

1). is there a way to get vim to exit if the only buffer was a terminal in the current window and that job ends ?

2). is there a way to start several :terminal windows but have them hidden and then how would I switch from one to the other ? (ie I don't want tiled windows but just one and switch between them with a shortcut key)

thanks for any insight,
-mark

Try pressing capitalized "C", double quotes excluded.
But this is vim channel, not mutt channel.

A follow-up on this: I have found that a drawback of your solution is
that, in an instance of Vim run inside a Vim terminal window, I need to
type Esc twice to return to Normal mode (I often happen to run Vim
inside Vim e.g., when I `git commit`).

What I am using now instead is this:

tnoremap <s-left> <esc>b
tnoremap <s-right> <esc>f

The first time I tried, I used ^[b and ^[f (with literal Esc), but that
did not work (^[b and ^[f on the rhs were translated into <s-left> and
<s-right> because of my settings). With <esc>, though, it works as
expected.

To recap, my configuration is as follows:

1. My terminal sends ^[b and ^[f when I type alt-left/right arrows.

2. In my vimrc, terminal keycodes ^[b and ^[f are tied to Vim
keycodes <s-left>/<s-right> using:

set <s-left>=^[b
set <s-right>=^[f

This makes alt-arrows work as shift-arrows in Insert and Command
mode, which means that I can jump between words with those key
combinations. A Vim terminal window, though, now sees \033[1;2D
and \033[1;2D when I type alt-arrows (because Shift-arrows are
mapped to those sequences by my terminal).

3. To fix that, I remap <s-left> and <s-right> in Terminal mode to send
the original sequence:

tnoremap <s-left> <esc>b
tnoremap <s-right> <esc>f

So, now I have alt-arrows work consistently in all modes, even in Vim
instances run inside a terminal window run inside a Vim instance run
inside etc... and Esc returns to Normal mode immediately under all
circumstances.

I don't know whether this strategy has any drawback (it seems fine so
far for me), and I may be missing something.

But if it is useful, you might want to update the terminal-special-key
section in the manual.

Life.

macro to save messages to a local folder

Dear all,

I'm trying to find out how to save files from an IMAP mail inbox to a
local inbox folder by pressing a combination of keys.

I know that mutt can do this by

pressing "s"
choosing mailbox
(I choose afanyat_manolo)
Confirm the question
Append messages to /home/pau/correu/afanyat_manolo? ([yes]/no):

Then mutt will ask me whether I want to purge the message when quitting.

That's 5 steps.

I am trying out how to do this in one step (choose mailbox, do not
ask for confirmation, do not delete from the current folder, etc).

But I cannot figure out how to do this with a macro.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks,

Pau

Syntax highlighting is a great feature. Pity that it's so difficult to learn.

Also, one might use

syn match jaKeyword /\<c\%(umount\|mount\|open\|close\)/hs=s+1
hi def link jaKeyword Identifier

which simplifies the syntax a bit.

Despite multiple attempts, I was unable to get it to work with
syn-keyword as it seems to want a Word boundary between the /\<c/ and
the keyword. I tried

syn region jaKeywordRegion start='\<c'rs=s+1 end='\>' contains=jaKeyword transparent
"syn keyword jaKeyword contained umount mount open close
syn match jaKeyword contained /umount\|mount\|open\|close/
hi def link jaKeyword Identifier

and it worked fine with the "match" version but failed with the
"keyword" version. I also tried various configurations of ms= and
rs= offsets to no avail.

Indeed it does! (Well, the latter suggestion does.)

I did this:

highlight macro_skin guibg=bg guifg=DarkGreen gui=bold ctermfg=022 cterm=bold
match macro_skin /\%(\<c\)\@<=\(mount\|umount\|open\|close\)/

And that's it. (And just a few minutes after posting, to boot!)

Just a detail: is it possible to enumerate the keywords in a separate
declaration, to improve maintainability? (The actual list is more
extense). I'm thinking of something similar to:

syntax keyword Foo open close mount umount

Even if it's not possible, this is good enough.

Thanks

Does

:match Error /\%(\<c\)\@<=\w\+/

give you what you're looking for? Alternatively, if they're a fixed
list of keywords, you can join them together something like

:match Error /\%(\<c\)\@<=\(mount\|umount\|open\|close\)/

You can adjust the color group to something other than Error, as
that's just what I chose by default.

highlighting prefixed keywords

I need to apply custom highligthing in a setup that should be simple
for people who understand highligthing:

I have a bunch of keywords with a common prefix, the single character
'c'. The keywords are to be listed one by one, not obtained via some
algorithm. Example:

cmount
cumount
copen
cclose
(etc)

So, I want to highlight these keywords, *minus the prefix*, with some
colour (say, the same colour for all keywords). That is, in "cmount",
only "mount" should be coloured, not the leading 'c'.

That is a reasonable request. If the "start" packages were not loaded
then :packadd can also look there.

The solution is to adjust the highlight that applies to that message. That depends on what colorscheme you use, but if using a dark background, something like the following works.

:hi WarningMsg ctermfg=15 ctermbg=12 guifg=White guibg=Red gui=NONE

Re: Any way to make packadd load plugins in start when -u NONE or --noplugins are passed

Testing plugins in isolation is frequently done. Under the current system, all
plugins one wants to test have to be moved under `opt` to be able to use
`:packadd`. Relying on `:runtime` is both error-prone and cumbersome. There's no
need for the user to replicate `:packadd` functionality using `:runtime`,
because there are things one needs to take into account (sourcing all plugin
files, adding to runtimepath), which would be better done by `:packadd`.

I propose changing `:packadd` behavior to load ANY plugin, whether it's in `opt`
or `start`, defaulting to doing nothing if it was added already. This idempotent
and least-surprise behavior is what I expected from `:packadd` before I read the
documentation.

Adding an argument to `:packadd` is also fine, although a bit more "surpriseful".

Corrupt display when editing remotely via ssh

Hi,

I'm having problems with garbling of the displayed text when ssh'ing
into
a remote machine to edit a file. Here's a 'MWE' of the steps that
produce
the problem.

1. Open xterm on local_machine (Slackware 14.1), check environment:
TERM is 'xterm'
XTERM_VERSION is 'X.Org 7.6.0(297)

2. Ssh to remote_machine (CentOS 6.9), and I'm in a pseudo terminal:
$ ps -o 'cmd=' -pp $(ps -o 'ppid=' -p $$)
returns (for example):
sshd: me@pts/14

3. Check the environment on remote_machine:
TERM is 'xterm'

4. Open a text file for editing:
$ vim -N -u NONE myfile.txt

The vim version on remote_machine is 7.4.629, and is compiled with
+terminfo and ++builtin_terms.

5. Check value of 'term in Vim:
:set term
and it shows 'term=xterm'

6. Move around using e.g. Ctrl-f, Ctrl-b, do some deletions and
insertions, and text gets garbled (details below).

Interestingly, if I then explicitly set the terminal in Vim:
:set term=xterm
the garbling goes away...


The "garbling" duplicates that reported by Lowell Specht in this thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/vim_use/ssh$20redraw|sort:relevance/vim_use/vJZJMe4fFgE/brm6sh1aBgAJ
or
https://tinyurl.com/k9t7a4g

For example, moving around with Ctrl-f and Ctrl-b causes many lines to
be duplicated and not wrap correctly. Resizing the window does the same
thing. Eventually, any displayed line is a jumble of blocks of text
from other
lines.

When deleting characters from a line, trailing characters are left in
their
original positions. For example, applying '4x' to 'rain' in 'The rain
in Spain stays
mainly in the plain.' leaves 'The in Spain stays mainly in the
plain.ain.'. Executing
':redraw' or ':redraw!' has no effect. If I save the garbled file and
reopen it, I get a
proper-looking file.

Obviously, I have a fairly simple work-around (set the terminal
explicitly each
time I start Vim), but if anyone can suggest the cause and a solution, I
would
appreciate it.

Regards,
Norm

Ring bell when search wraps? (i.e. on "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP")

When I search for something and it it wraps to the other end of the buffer, I sometimes feel disoriented about where I am in the buffer because I miss the message that says "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP".

I would like for the bell to ring so the wrap is more obvious.

Can I do it, or should I open an issue on Github? I imagine this helping a lot of people.

I think you're saying sometimes the match is not highlighted according to the 'hlsearch' option. From the help for that option:

When the search pattern can match an end-of-line, Vim will try to
highlight all of the matched text. However, this depends on where the
search starts. This will be the first line in the window or the first
line below a closed fold. A match in a previous line which is not
drawn may not continue in a newly drawn line.

In other words, you probably are not seeing a match that starts before the lines which are currently displayed on-screen. Does that match what you're seeing?

Re: Strange behavior of vimdiff in vim v8.0.1390 on Windows

Hi,
this is mystery to me. I have restarted Windows and retested and now diff in vim works without a problem.

I don't understand what was wrong before. But I both files were marked as completely different - both windows in red background.

In my humble opinion there must be some strange bug or something that I can't reproduce anymore.
Regards

Hi,
I am using latest development version v8.0.1390 of gVim from https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases/

I see strange behavior of vim diff.
I did:
:e a.txt
:vert diffsp b.txt

To do the diff, but to my surprise everything is marked with red color. I have stripped down file to only two lines in each of file (a.txt and b.txt) and repeted the steps above. The same problem.

Then I did checksum:
C:\>sha1sum a.txt
a4b6ed7fd2085472061ecc981d48c48fecc94251 *a.txt

C:\>sha1sum b.txt
a4b6ed7fd2085472061ecc981d48c48fecc94251 *b.txt

and getting the same checksum. Looks like files are identical, but vim diff displays them like they would be completely different.

I have never experience something like this before. Maybe development version problem or something else?

Can someone please confirm the problem or hint to me what may be wrong in my case.

Regards

Re: Built VIM from source. Shortly after received update notification through apt which overrode my custom VIM.

If you installed the package after you created it with checkinstall, it is now a package like any other, and will be upgraded etc. along with other packages when you do apt-get management. You can tell apt-get to ignore the package during upgrade with "echo 'vim hold' | dpkg --set-selections".

Can vim complete file names without expanding env vars?

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to expand file names without
modifying any environment variables in the path?

For example, if I want to expand the following via <CTRL-X><CTRL-F>:

$HOME/file

I'd like for vim to expand "file" but leave $HOME as is.

Thanks,

Well, then it's not 'odd' but typical. You get something like:
-------------------------------- kind of symbolically:
first some text like title or explanations, then column/field) names
field;names;separated;by semicolon;and;explaining the following lines
data1;data2;data3;data4 blanks OK;OK! OK;more data up to EOL
DATA1;DATA2;;;;" and like an address with quoted multiple lines
Who

or;even;"a first field
with newline";"a
second
field
with
newlines";still in line 3 of data;end of field 6 of logical line 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------
as long as you have e.g. 5 separators (here ';' so 6 fields of data)
and all cases of 'newline in a field' are quoted in double quotes,
this is correct for the so called 'Comma Separated Values'.
(Where 'banking', mostly uses semicolon for the delimiter,
because '.' is often used in fields.

See more at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180

BUT parsing such input by vim (i.e. 'regexp') seems to me to be
overly complex (or even unworkable?). Number or fields and newlines
are unlimited. So the structure is a lot easier to work with by
'real' CSV Libraries (e.g. in Perl or Python) or spreadsheet programs.
(Or even the simple 'csvtool' on command line in Linux)

The Vim that your distribution provides is generally installed in
/usr/bin and the runtime files are installed in /usr/share/vim. The
distribution "owns" those files and is free to update them as it
chooses when you update the distribution's packages.

A Vim that you build yourself should be installed in /usr/local/bin
and the runtime files in /usr/local/share/vim. That's where the Vim
configure and make system installs it by default. That convention
prevents you from overwriting the distribution's files and vice
versa.

I'm not familiar with the checkinstall method. Perhaps it puts
files under /usr instead of /usr/local by default. If so, you
should change that.

Regards,
Gary

It's also odd for me. But the file comes from a banking institution.
There are only linefeeds in the file and it is art to find the next logical line.
The items which span more line have
"
to mark them as text item

multi-line searches doesn't mark the found items on the whole

Hello!
Have a rare csv, in which some items have more then one line.

My search pattern is

/\;"\%([ A-Za-z0-9\n\/\.\,\:äöüÄÖÜ\-]\+\)"\;

But if the found item is very big, not all of them is marked as found.

Are there special settings?

Thank you

As a side note, you are aware that such multi-line field content is
valid in CSV if enquoted? If for some reason the processing software
isn't capable to cope with multi-line content I'd rather suggest to only
replace the embedded newlines with spaces, so the actual field content
is preserved instead of stripped.

[netrw] How to use netrw#Call() to create custom mappings

Hello.

I want to customize some of the shortcuts in Netrw.

I have seen it provides a global variable which is a dictionary of key mappings and function calls.

I paste here  a snippet from the help:

Example: Clear netrw's marked file list via a mapping on gu >
    " ExampleUserMap: {{{2
    fun! ExampleUserMap(islocal)
      call netrw#Modify("netrwmarkfilelist",[])
      call netrw#Modify('netrwmarkfilemtch_{bufnr("%")}',"")
      let retval= ["refresh"]
      return retval
    endfun

    let g:Netrw_UserMaps= [["gu","ExampleUserMap"]]

What I am trying to do is to use this mechanism to map u to browse up dir rather than -, so I did the next:

function! utils#UserNetrwBrowseUpDir( islocal )
    call netrw#Call("NetrwBrowseUpDir", 1)
endfunction

let g:Netrw_UserMaps= [["u","utils#UserNetrwBrowseUpDir"]]

Well the mapping is working, using netrw#Call() I can call internal functions in netrw.vim,

but I got an error in NetrwBrowseUpDir( islocal ), basically the argument is passed as a list whereas it should be a number.

This is netrw#Call() 

fun! netrw#Call(funcname,...)
  if a:0 > 0
   exe "call s:".a:funcname."(".string(a:000).")"
  else
   exe "call s:".a:funcname."()"
  endif
endfun

I don't know how I have to pass my argument to netrw#Call()  in order to be passed as a single integer to  NetrwBrowseUpDir() .

Thanks and sorry for the long email.

As usual :%s..... applies the substitution

Stucki, thanks for your answer!

In my CSV file this multiline fields have
different number of lines, least two
and contain various text.

Is it also possible to delete such items at once?

Thank you all

The "\_" convention holds for things other than "." to add the "and
include newline" connotation, so you can change your spaces to

Legend\_s\+for\_s\+name\_s\+is\_s\+not\_s\+found

which would allow a new-line as part of any of the whitespace in your
sentence.

So You want to delete the contents of cases, where
the Last thing of the line is not the ", followed
by line(s) with no " at all, up to the line, which
contains, but does not begin with "?
(Which misses some cases, and will work only mostly,
as it depends on having the single ;" in the first
and the single "; on the last line of change.
So Lines with broken pairs of ", or with extra newline
without ", or lines with newline in the first or the
last field, would break or be ignored.)

The simple case might be done with:

:s/;"[^"]*\n\([^"]*\n\)[^"]*";/;"";/

OR do you want to remove the newlines only and keep
the text? Which I believe would be more complicated,
because of the newlines inside of the \(...\) pair.
