Re: Does popup_menu() functions asynchronous?

вт, 3 мар. 2026 г., 11:41 Piotr Kolasiński <ptkola@gmail.com>:

I try to use popup_menu() in linear code like:

——

func PopupResult(id, sel)

    let g:popup_sel = a:result

    echo "In popup: " .. g:result

endfunc

call popup_menu(["A","B","C"], #{ callback: 'PopupResult' })

echo 'After popup'

——-

but 'After popup' is displayed immediately, not waiting for finish the call. 

Does popup_menu works asynchronous? How can I execute such code in linear way?

Hello,

No you can't. The good news is that you hardly ever need it. Just return and continue execution from the callback function. The way typical for _modeless_ dialogs.

Regards,

Matvey

Re: Startup flag with Errors ?

The solution is to revert back to a previous vimrc file; unless you know of another way besides just deleting the lines within the vimrc file as well ?

Looks like you accidentally have overwritten /etc/vimrc with a previous
attempt of using --startuptime /etc/vimrc as root.

And now this file contain a startuptime log instead of being a system
initialization file.

When running the command `vim --startuptime vimlogMessages. The log messages should be written to such a file but that file doesn't exist ? Although when running the mentioned command the below is seen within my shell but the log messages are placed within my vimrc file ?

Works for me. My Vim version is 

VIM - Vi IMproved 9.2 (2026 Feb 14, compiled Mar 03 2026 19:50:15)
macOS version - arm64
Included patches: 1-100

Try these

1. Update Vim, and try again.
2. Read `:h --startuptime` and ensure you're passing in the correct parameters
3. Try it in a new shell window

In any case, please share more detail when you respond. It's hard to help without knowing details of the environment, version, output, and so on.

Cheers.
