$VIMRC over .vimrc ?

When initializing Vim it searches first for $MYVIMRC, although that file doesn't exist in my case so it immediately goes to .vimrc. I'm reading the documentation on how to create this $VIMRC file as so that it's read first, rather then the .vimrc file ?

:h startup
:version

To display where an option was last defined, e.g. viminfo, use
:verbose set viminfo

:h :verbose-cmd

Re: Current Position - Attempt to hide email address ???

I think the concern about exposing your email address is moot.

Wouldn't you say?

 I understand it works for you; although as I posted. It doesn't work in my case. I see the `g` in the bottom of the screen but when doing CTRL+G nothing happens ? 

The method of using the `...` to post below using Google Groups web interface exposes my email address; do I want that ?

I tried another version on another installation; the same thing. This is frustrating why it's not working; I assume if I can't get this to work similar commands will not work. Therefore I really want to solve this issue.

1. What did you see when you type g followed by Ctrl-G?

2. What's the output of `:nmap` after starting Vim with `vim --clean`?

3. If still unsolved, what's your output of `:version`?

Re: Does popup_menu() functions asynchronous?

Thanks for the response, but I'm afraid that I don't understand what you suggest. Could you be so kind and show me simple example.

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.

I think my versions of vim just won't work with g - ctrl+g. I searched into other programs using this short-cut, there is nothing. Strangest issue.   

The issue is resolved; it's because :messages is hidden.
