running tests with make -j test

Is there any way to run tests in parallel? It seems like some of them might overwrite the same directory (in any case I couldn't get make -j to work).

Partitioning would be a nastier alternative (make 3 copies of the shadow dir, run make make unittests, make scripttests, make $(TERM_TESTS) in each; though I don't know how to resolve that makefile variable from a script). Plus I'm not sure the three separate dependencies take equally long.

As mentioned, the paypal account should still work. Unfortunately,
no-one can anylonger relate the donators to the respective vim.org
accounts. That's why the accounts are no longer updated. And at the same
time, the voting feature is no longer useful.

Thanks,

Re: Registration Payments

Actually what is the correct way to register / sponsor now? The links from vim.org still take you to a PayPal form sending payments to Bram. I've been wondering about that for a while and this discussion seems to imply this information exists elsewhere.

Just wanted you all know, I am taking this off-list and checking with
Trey and the ICCF directly.

Thanks for sponsoring. I think the paypal address still works and the
money is well received by the ICCF. This may change in the future, but I
don't know the details.

It's probably in the help documents somewhere. I struggle to find this
always and have thought of adding a specific section to the help files,
if it isn't there already.

The Vim community is healthy and we are continuing the development of
Vim. You can follow it on github or on the vim-dev mailing list. We try
to slowly improve Vim and fix bugs as we can. No big plans however.

You are welcome to help with whatever you can (doc updates, cleaning up
the issue list, code, add tests, etc).


Thanks,
Christian

Why would they be? There is no use for them there.

Normal commands forbidden in command line

Hello.

Why are some normal commands not allowed in the command line window? I'm thinking of Q in particular, but I see there are others as well: ctrl-t, ctrl-^, …

I was looking to avoid the 'Entering Ex mode' message, and it seems to me the only way might be to filter it out with :filter. But, it doesn't seem possible to get into Ex mode from the command line.

First things first

Hello dear vim community,

I am very sorry to get to know some time ago about Bram. As a vim user, I

kind of owe him more than my admiration. I learnt to code with vim, and as a

c developer. This amazing tool is more than suitable for such language.

Now my questions.

a) Where can I see the new address for registering and sending money?

I sent this morning money and PayPal showed me Bram's mail. I am not

asking for my money back, rather some pointers to the new registering and

voting processes.

b) is there any database with all supported Platforms/OS?

For a side project, I am gathering such data formation.

c) What would be the future of Vim?

I believe that Bram has become an institution for the software community,

if he was not already. Therefore, what are the next steps for Vim? I really

do not want that due to politics, lack of ideas, over compromising, or simply

for whatever reason Vim falls apart.

Kind regards,

Jorge Ventura
