Re: How to suppress "Input is not from a terminal" message?

Thank you very much for your answers.

I changed line from:

vim +"so dummy.vim" << EOF

to line

vim +"so dummy.vim" -e << EOF

and "annoying" message is suppressed, like I wanted.

Just additional question.

Does -e switch has some negative side effect, like some commands not working or working differently like in standard vim?

I am reading about about "Ex mode" (-e switch) and "Improved Ed mode" (-E switch).

Have you considered using sed, which was designed for this sort of job.

Start vim in Ex-mode?

How to suppress "Input is not from a terminal" message?

Hi,

I would like to embed vim code inside bash script.

I have simple text file text_file.txt with content:

aaa

Content sample.sh file:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Start running vim commands inside bash program."
vim +"so dummy.vim" << EOF
   :e text_file.txt
   :s/a/b/
   :x
EOF
echo "End of running run vim commands inside bash program."

Above code opens text_file.txt, replaces letter a with b and saves the file.

When I run sample.sh file from shell: ./sample.sh

The output on terminal is:

Start running vim commands inside bash program.
Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal
End of running run vim commands inside bash program.

and script does get executed, so file text_file.txt correctly gets changed to baa

The only little bit annoying thing is the Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal message in terminal. How to suppress this message?

Thanks.

you need to tell Vim where you want to insert the range into
the replacement text for the user-defined command. You do this
by including the escape sequence <range> in the replacement
text.

In your case

:command! -range=% Pj <range>!python -m json.tool

should do the trick.

Specify a range for a python command alias

Following the web page listed below I've created the following command alias in my .vimrc to conveniently prettify .json files:
command! Pj %!python -m json.tool

It works great but, ideally, I'd like to specify ranges. I tried the following:
command! -range=% Pj !python -m json.tool
But the command just hangs until such times as I Ctrl-C to abort.

I'm surprised by this since entering `3,4!python -m json.tool` at the command buffer works as expected.

What subtlety am I missing here?

Any idea why tests run in a shell fail?

I'm (re)writing a plugin and writing some tests for it. The same tests,
using the same vimrc, fail if started from a shell script, but if I run
the same commands with the same vimrc, directly in the editor, they
work. Any idea why this happens?

Actually not all tests fail, but some does.

For example I have a test:

let g:tests = ['A']

fun! A()
silent tabedit txt/ins1
Norm gm;a123
noau silent write
call assert_equalfile('txt/ins1', 'out/ins1-A')
silent undo
noau silent write
Norm ^]
close!
endfun

where Norm is just 'normal <args>', if started automatically in a shell
script it fails, if I run the same manually it works.

Re: New User Several Questions and Concerns

You can also use buffers.

After having multiple files open (either by passing multiple files to
vim when starting it, or by using :e </path/to/file.extension> after Vim
has already been open), you can do:

:ls

And you will see the open files, prefixed with a number.

To go to a specific file, you can do:

:b<buffer-number>

There are also keyboard shortcuts but since I don't use them, I don't
really remember them.

Using tabs as you suggested is a really good idea.

Yes, that is the case. If you want the number to show up in the tab
label, you may customize the tab line. See `:help setting-tabline`.

I don't think there is a way to show tab labels that do not fit, except
by enlarging the terminal (or GUI) window.

You haven't specified what your use case is for lots of tabs. But if you
tend to open each file in a separate tab, that is not how tabs are meant
to be used. You should think of tabs as workspaces (groups of windows),
not files.

Hope this helps,

I don't know of a solution for that.

It does have filename completion. See

:help cmdline-completion

What have you tried that doesn't seem to be working?

It has this, too. See

:help :browse

If this is reproducible, send reproduction steps to this list and
someone will have a look.

the syntax for a character class inside a collection is wrong. You
need to use two sets of brackets, i.e.,

syn match UrlNoSpell '[[:punct:]]\w\+' contains=@NoSpell

(I assume the missing backslash before w\+ was just a typo in your mail
or the result of some backslash interpretation by you mail client.)

To be fair, I was thinking of ad-hoc creating properties, not using a script parsing a file.

I think this can be done using text-properties.

Sort lines, then tag, then unsort

I would like to sort lines in a text document and then tag them, and then revert the file to its original order.

First of all, is there a way to tag a line, so that lines with a given tag can be quickly referred to, but the tag is not in the actual text?

Secondly, I noticed with my sort command ":sort \^[A-Z].*[^\.]$\ r" (sort all lines beginning with a capital letter and not ending in a period) it sends the matches in alphabetical order to the bottom of the file. Is there a way to specify a second-order sort by which all the matches are sub-sorted, rather than the default alphabetical? And, is there a way to send them to the top of the document rather than the bottom?

Thanks very much,

Julius

Vim functions documentation

Hey,

I would like to write a command or function in Vim which will return True or False based on some properties of the text in the file. I assume this will be done with the Vim Script language (http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_41.html).

I thought that sections of the User Manual usually corresponded to a more definitive, in-depth chapter in the Reference Manual, but I see no discussion of a corresponding reference manual section here.

Is there a reference manual chapter on functions and vim script?

Thank you,

Julius

This was an intentional choice. The idea is that the menu would be used
by beginners, who don't know the keyboard commands yet. These users
would also not know what characters need to be escaped in a pattern.

As Christian mentioned, once you know Vim a bit you would just use
"/pattern" and ":s/from/to".

Yes, I think the :promptfind and :promptreplace commands do a literal
search and replace only. If you want to use regexes, just use the `/`
(for finding) or `:%s` (for replacing) command.

Find patterns in Gvim

Hey,

From trying it myself, it seems that the "find" menu option in Gvim does not allow entering patterns or regular expressions, such as a period to represent any character, or "\n" to represent a newline, but only literal, explicit text matching.

I was curious why this is and if there is any GUI / menu way to search for regular expression patterns or if you must use the Vim text-based command "/" for this.

Thank you very much,

vim/gvim and ligature support

Hi there,
I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and vim/gvim is 8.1.2269.

I love ligature support in the editor and I like to understand how
ligature support works in vim.


vim

Here it is easy. If the terminal has ligature support then it is
automatically available in vim.


gvim

Here I only can say what my observations are.

In my settings I have

if has('gui_running')
set guifont=Fira\ Code\ 13
endif

Now ligature support is available with certain themes I use. But with
some other themes there is no ligature support.

Question: How does this work in gvim?


Thanks.

Syntax pattern delimiters (was: Unable to turn off spelling for words followed by punctuation characters)

Den tis 7 sep. 2021 14:01Steve Dondley <sdondley@gmail.com> skrev:

I don't think syntax pattern strings follow the rules for ordinary quoted strings since you can use any punctuation character as delimiter just like with :s, and like with :s forward slash seems to be the standard, but if the pattern contains forward slashes you can use some other character which does not occur in the pattern.

However it is not clear to me whether single quotes are in any way special here. It seems :h :syn-pattern does not mention anything on it. Does anyone know? (I'm curious! :-)

In this case, it was mostly to prevent the need to add the "[" back
in at the begining.

In this particular case, assuming every line had the timestamp at the
beginning, it could really have just skipped the "["/"]" aspects and
just replaced the first run of digits on each line without the need
to capture anything:

:%s/\d\+/\=strftime("%c", submatch(0))

but I find using the \zs and \ze makes it clear what I expect to
match/replace.

tl;dr: my weird personal preferences? ;-)

Learning Vim is a never-ending experience: I didn't know (or remember)
about submatch()!

Can you explain why \zs... \ze is to be preferred to capturing with \(
and \)?

If you're writing a report, makes sense to keep it in vim.

This is much better than the suggestion I gave, keeping it all

This is much better than the suggestion I gave, keeping it all
internal to vim. To clean it up, I'd tweak it to

:%s/\[\zs\d\+\ze\]/\=strftime("%c", submatch(0))

vim terminal normal mode place cursor with ?

Hi,

Inside a terminal in vim, when the terminal is in normal mode,

I cannot seem to place the cursor where I left click with the mouse.

I have mouse=a and this works fine in vim when not in a vim-terminal.

A double-click in the vim-terminal in normal mode selects a word but not where I clicked but where the cursor is/was.

Is there a mapping or setting to allow placing the cursor where the click was when inside a vim-terminal in normal mode ?

thx for all things vim,

-m

This should do the trick

%s/\[\zs\d\+\ze\]/\=substitute(system('date -r '.submatch(0)), '\n',
'', '')

It took a bit of testing to get right since GNU `date` expects a file
for -r where FreeBSD `date` uses it like you wanted, so I had to test
on the right OS. :-)

It's not particularly speedy, so if you have thousands of them, you're
invoking a command for every single one of them, but it's vastly
faster than doing each by hand.

It should also allow you to alter the format if you prefer (some
shell commands mung "%" with the current filename, but in this case,
system() doesn't, so you're safe)

:%s_^\[\(\d\+\)_\="[" . systemlist("date -r " . submatch(1))[0]_

Alternatively, without using an external command:

:%s_^\[\(\d\+\)_\="[" . strftime("%c", submatch(1))_

How to replace pattern with shell command's output using matched pattern

Use case at hand: replace Unix timestamps with date/time in a log file:

[1630720618] unbound[63495:0] info: 127.0.0.1 foo.bar.com AAAA IN
[1630720618] unbound[63495:1] info: 127.0.0.1 foo.bar.com A IN
...

The shell command I'd apply is `date -r <timestamp>`. How would you
perform the substitution?

The desired output is:

[Sat Sep 4 03:56:58 CEST 2021] unbound[63495:0] info: 127.0.0.1 foo.bar.com AAAA IN
[Sat Sep 4 03:56:58 CEST 2021] unbound[63495:1] info: 127.0.0.1 foo.bar.com A IN
...

Thanks,
Life.

Prob: won't run tty vim on windows

The version listed below won't run inside a TTY.

Have tried "SecureCRT" (30 day free trial) that I've used for
many years, and tried "xterm" (runs via "X11").
SecureCRT can be setup to ssh back into localhost, or
you can setup rsh/rlogin to only allow login from localhost
(which is what i do).

With both I get:

> /prog64/vim/current/vim
Vim: Error: This version of Vim does not run in a Cygwin terminal

Any idea why it thinks everything is a cygwin terminal?

What terminal emulators does it work with on windows?

Maybe this related to it not working w/24-bit color?

Sorry I meant the graphical version of vim -- gvim.
This came out of the note entitled
"RedHat Athena: GUI vim is extremely slow using terminal"
by "Aleksandr Jakušev", date+time 2021/05/07 07:57(PDT).

He said the new ":term" function in Gvim_v8 (wasn't in V7) was
really slow, example: ":term ls -l" takes several minutes to run.

I couldn't try to repeat his problem at the time because I still
was running gvim 7.x on my linx at the time.

Anyway, got that upgraded and realized I could also use the
gvim running natively on Windows as it was also at 8.2.2803.
(running on linux, displaying on Windows).

yeah, but the gvim ":term" feature doesn't use the Windows
terminal feature, so it works regardless.

What I notice as a bit 'odd' is that the emulated
terminal feature set isn't consistent. For example,
I have a shellscript to show 24-bit color (attached).
The native Win version, _maybe_ has 256 colors at most.
but definitely not 24-bit:

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Apr 23 2021 22:01:55)
MS-Windows 64-bit GUI version with OLE support
Included patches: 1-2803
Compiled by appveyor@APPVYR-WIN
Huge version with GUI.


But in the Cygwin version:
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2.486
Mod+compiled by <cygwin@cygwin.com>
Huge version with GTK3 GUI.

as well as a linux version(s) (displayed on same cygwin-X):
Vim 8.2.3204
Compiled by 'http://www.opensuse.org/'
Huge version with GTK3 GUI.

24-bit color fully works and is fast!

Why would vim's terminal emulation be different and
less capable using native Win calls, vs.
when it's displayed via 'X'?

That indicates that script 67 in the output of `:scriptnames` is causing
some slowdown. So to the OP: please show the output of :scriptnames or
better, even use :67scriptnames and show the top of the file.

That function is not in the default syntax plugin for css files, so it
must come from somewhere else.

If that is causing problems, you might want to disable that script (or
delete it if you do not need it). Looks to me like some kind of
un-needed plugin that can be disabled and then Vim should be performant
again :)

Best,
Christian

No, the default is the https://github.com/jsit/css.vim one that
redirects to https://github.com/vim-language-dept/css-syntax.vim and is
the same as
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/syntax/css.vim you

There's an additional package vim-syntastic-css of
https://github.com/vim-syntastic/syntastic that "runs files through
external syntax checkers and displays any resulting errors", maybe
that's installed and could explain some slowness.

The skammer plugin was mentioned by the OP only because they just
