Hi,
check out the various BufReadCmd autocommands. As an example, you may
want to check the zipPlugin, that is distributed with vim and allows to
browse the content of zip packages:
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/plugin/zipPlugin.vim
and
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/autoload/zip.vim

Best,
Chris

You can open vim with the output from stdout:

$ echo 'hello world' | vim -

how trigger vim to open a conversion result?

Hi,

Sometimes I get text files with a format that is not directly human
readable, e.g. an MS Word file. Does anyone know how to open a
conversion-result directly in vim?

I use pandoc to convert between formats. The string I use just to read a
Word file is

$ pandoc -f docx -t rst [file]filename[/filename] | less

Pandoc converts the docx-file to a ReStructuredText file that can be
read in a pager.

But how do I trigger vim to open the result (instead of less)?

TIA

Building vim for x32 and x86-64

Today, I built vim (git) for x86-64 and for the x32 ABI, with --disable-gui for simplicity. Then, I collected some benchmark results by running make test. (If there are better benchmarks, let me know.)

The results show a 10 % speedup for x32 - very cool. I repeated all benchmarks three times for 5 different C compilers (gcc 9, gcc 10, gcc 11, gcc 12, clang-13, all as packaged by Ubuntu 22.04) and the speedup is quite consistent.

Re: Plugin compilation?

There are some lists out there on popular plugins, but you have to realize that the needs are diverse, I'd rather stick with a few plugins I need, and keep it as simple as possible. I'm not really sure why, because I haven't really met many contradictions, but you know, figuring out what does what takes some time, when stuff doesn't work like you suppose it to.

If you want to dig deeper into vim, then I can wholeheartedly recommend this video as a good starting point:

Re: Plugin compilation?

Hi Gödecke,

There are two things that come to mind when people ask me about going deeper into Vim.

1. Writing "plugins"
2. Installing plugins

For writing plugins… I'll suggest you take some time and look into Vim help. Then, take a stab at writing some scripts which make your workflow better. Vim has one of the better help documentations out there. Understanding how things work can allow you to craft custom-fitted tools for yourself.

For installing plugins… Alessandro has amazing tips. To extend what he's said, there are pre-baked Vim configurations you can use to get IDE-like functionality in Vim. I've just recently learn of AstroVim which builds on NeoVim. There are others. 

Hope these help.

Hi, Gödecke.

There are plenty of plugins. You can search for the most used, most voted in https://vimawesome.com/. The www.vim.org site has even more plugins, but in the Vim Awesome site they are categorized and more easy to find. My setup includes some of them, if you like:

1. https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim: For completion, linting, etc...
2. https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree: For quick access to file system;
3. https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive: For Git integration;

And some others but the three above are the main ones.

Best regards.

The interpretation of keys goes in the other direction: first Windows
interprets a keypress, then it passes on the possibly-remapped key to
Vim or whatever other application has focus, and _that_ application
interprets what it got from Windows.

But Windows+R is just the Run command, so you could emulate it by the :!
command in Vim.

There are some differences in the implementation details between :! and
Windows+R, so if you really want to you could use the excellent and free
Autohotkey <https://www.autohotkey.com/> to sense when you press :! (or
any other chosen combination) in a Vim window and pass Widows+R to the OS.

Vim sits on _top_ of OS, so it's unlikely that Vim can modify a keypress
event and send it to OS. That would require Vim to sit in the _middle_
of the keypress event and the OS.

I'm doubtful you want that, though. You probably want to map a key in
Vim. This assumption is supported by your example.

> example: Is is possible to emulate Windows Key(VK_LWIN)+R keys?

Vim cannot map Windows keys. But you can look through online help sites,
e.g., vi.stackexchange.com, to see if anyone has come up with a
workaround.

Here is a possible solution: https://stackoverflow.com/q/327415/11135136

Re: VimConf 2022 ?

Yeah, I'm getting that on my work computer (where I manually typed in the link above from my phone - which didn't show any warnings - both using Safari).  I assumed it was a work filter/block.  Maybe not.  I don't see any typos in my link....

Re: Changing Search and Replace Newline Character

Hi Thomas,

I stumbled over this one too. Really annoying! I never understood the sense of it: \n means new line in search pattern and useless crap in the replace. Is there a reason behind, which I am not understanding as a middle advanced Vim-user?

Off-topic:
And while complaining about search and replace in Vim: I am still confused what to escape or not to escape (in Magic mode). With complicate patterns I fire up BBEdit (on macOS) or write a perl-filter. Much easier for me.

Best greetings to all


marek

I have to admit I've also found this inconsistency kind of baffling and
annoying. Although I don't replace something with a newline all that
often, so so far I've just lived with replacing whatever with nul,
undoing it, and editing the replace to do what I actually want. I have
also (mostly) trained myself to use ^V^M in the replacement instead,
which does what I want, although technically doesn't do what it says.
I've also never, in decades of programming and probably years spent in
vi then vim, wanted to replace anything with a nul.

I realize it's far, far too late to change this, so just venting a bit.
And it's the small imperfections that emphasize the perfection of the
whole. :-)

No, this is not possible, except for creating a mapping that evaluates
your expression and replaces the result, see, :h c_CTRL-\_e

Changing Search and Replace Newline Character

According to https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Search_and_replace:

"When searching, \n is newline, \r is CR (carriage return = Ctrl-M = ^M)… When replacing, \r is newline, \n is a null byte (0x00)."

There are also questions on StackOverflow about this, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/q/71417.

Is there any way to change my settings to make this consistent? I'd like \n to mean "newline" in replace as well. I'm aware that this means \n can no longer be used to mean null when replacing. Ideally I'd be able to change that to some other control sequence, but not constantly tripping over this pothole is more important. If necessary I'll insert nulls using sed or some other tool. I use search and replace all the time but hardly ever need to insert a null byte anywhere.

Password reset

Hi Bram!

I've been away for years. Too much to go in to. I need to be able to
get back into my account. Username is probably "markem" but my old
email account was markem@airmail.net (which airmail is not even in
business anymore). Can you reset my password? Thank you very very much
in advance. :-)

(Also note my new gmail account I now have. Shown below.)

Please try to enable the vim9 Script part of Vim-airline:
https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline/blob/0ed7b8bb2ed68d65a5ba55317896680b31d315b0/doc/airline.txt#L123-L125

It should give much better performance for the performance critical
parts of the plugin (mainly the highighting engine).

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Lowest number of keystrokes to modify part of a line

My first thought is to map a key to do a substitution using
sub-replace-special like

nnoremap Q :s@ \<lt>\zs.*@\=strftime("%a %d/%m/%Y")<cr>

or, if you always do this from the line above, you can add a "+"

nnoremap Q :+s@ \<lt>\zs.*@\=strftime("%a %d/%m/%Y")<cr>

which, while it has more keystrokes initially to create, reduces
the "update the timestamp on the next line" to a single keypress
("Q" in this instance, but whatever you want to map it to).

(also, it looks like your strftime() format string differs from the
format in the existing data, so tweak accordingly)
