If you add the line
set hidden
to your local vimrc, it will turn this on globally. This allows
you to leave a buffer (such as with ":bnext", ":enew", ":n", etc)
while maintaining your undo/marks, etc. When you return to that
buffer, you retain all those marks and undo-ability. It also
doesn't force you to write the file or abandon the changes (which
it would do otherwise with the default "set nohidden").

My guess is that it's probably looking relative to the current
directory, not the current file, and you want the latter. You could use
:set tags=./TAGS,./../TAGS,./../../TAGS
The explicit ./ should make it relative to the file, not the current
directory.
But, it is probably better to try
:set tags=./TAGS;
This uses an upward search which apparently works for the 'tags' option
(:help file-searching).
It is important that 'd' is not in cpoptions. Check this with
:set cpo?
And use
:set cpo-=d
if you need to fix it.
See :help 'tags' for a little more info and cross-references.

I already have the following which works great:
" Title Case A Line Or Selection
vnoremap <F6> :s/\%V\<\(\w\)\(\w*\)\>/\u\1\L\2/ge<cr>
But I would like to know how to do it in a "function" for the
educational value.
function! TitleCase()
let save = @r
normal! gv"rx
let @r = substitute(@r, '\(\w\)\(\w*\)', '\u\1\L\2', 'g')
normal! "rP`<
let @r = save
endfun
This also works, but seems too "messy".
Can it be simplified?

If you just want to do the replacement over the selected text,
you can do the literal substitute:
:'<,'>s/\%V\w\+\%V/\u&/g
or, if your selection starts/ends in the middle of a word and you
don't want to effect them, you can riff on
:'<,'>s/\%V\<\w\+\>\%V/\u&/g
adding/removing "\<" and "\>" as desired. Any of these can
pretty easily be mapped, e.g.
:vnoremap <f4> :s/\%V\w\+\%V/\u&/g<cr>
If you want to take the selected text, pass it to this
transforming function, and then assign it to a variable without
altering the in-line text, you'll have to grab the selection
either by yanking it to a register, or by using getline() or some
such function (likely in a loop). That gets a bit messy if you
don't yank it to a known register.

You can either force vim to ignore an error message by using `silent!', or use
`search()':
let oldy='2010'
let newy=strftime('%Y')
let line=search('Copyright '.oldy.', Company E', 'n')
if line
call setline(line, substitute(getline(line), oldy, oldy.'-'.newy, ''))
endif
My version with setline/getline and 'n' argument to `search()' does not move the
cursor.

Thanks for your suggestions. That's much simpler than I was going to do (cut the word to pieces with strpart, capitalise with toupper, then join them back together).

I don't think you can do exactly this easily. C code folding is simply
based on { } blocks, not statements (see :help ft-c-syntax). Making it
do something else would be very hard, too, I think.
If you just want to fold one level, and no more (i.e. functions, but
never anything within functions), you could do
:set foldnestmax=1
Or using 2 might be better, if you work with lots of inline functions
defined in classes' header files.
Alternatively, using marker folding or something like that is an option.
Any of those ideas any good?
Ben.

Looks like you have 'cindent' or 'smartindent' turned on and you don't
want it. It's indenting like for code: unclosed parentheses get an
indent, as do keywords such as else if there's not braces or a
semicolon.
:verbose set cindent? smartindent?
:set nocindent nosmartindent
(Of course, 'autoindent' is also relevant, but you perhaps want that.)

I think it just means that it sees the command as having one single
argument, and the spaces are considered part of it, rather than breaking
it into multiple arguments. This possibly only shows up if you use
<f-args>, as arguments are separated.
Try the following code:
command! -nargs=1 TestOne call Test(<f-args>)
command! -nargs=* TestMany call Test(<f-args>)
function! Test(...)
let n = 1
while n <= a:0
call append('$', 'arg '.n.': '.eval('a:'.n))
let n = n+1
endwhile
endfunction
TestOne a b c d
TestMany a b c d

Interesting. When I tested, I just did :hi clear, which evidently
doesn't actually clear things fully as I thought it would. Perhaps this
is a bug.
The result, though, is yes, that your approach using "default" will
work, at least for CursorIM, though not for other standard highlight
groups which are defined with defaults.

Further experiment shows the following difference: with -nargs=1, ":Test
a b" sees one argument, 'a b'; with -nargs=* it sees two, 'a','b'. Try
the following (untested):
command! -nargs=* Type echo List(<f-args>)
function! List(...)
return a:000
enfunction
and try
:Type a b
-- then the same after replacing -nargs=1 by -nargs=*

After sourcing the above:
:new
:Test (E471 Argument required; good)
:Test a (displays 'args: "a"'; good)
:Test a b (displays 'args: "a b"'; bad?)
I thought '-nargs=1' would give "E488: Trailing characters"
if more than one argument, and isn't "a b" two args?
Above tested with Vim 7.3.170 and 7.2.18 on Windows and Linux.

Well, the 'default' part is explained at :help :hi-default which applies
not just to :hi-link, which is closest to it, and which the examples
demonstrate, but it also applies to :hi with settings (as [default] is
present in the syntax description, and there is a cross-reference to
:help :highlight-default, a little bit below :help :colo).
However, it doesn't really help in this case. CursorIM, being a built-in
highlight group, never has "no settings" or "doesn't exist", unless you
explicitly do :hi clear CursorIM or :hi CursorIM NONE. So using
"default" to define CursorIM will be useless unless you expect your user
to do one of those two things above if they want to get your default
highlighting.

Hi
Here is what I have in my ~/.vimrc to:
- toggle on/off spelling checker by pressing F8
- rotate though the spelling languages that I use
by pressing F7
Changing it to use other languages should be trivial:
if has('spell')
set spell
if has('eval')
" Rotate through languages of spelling checker.
let g:myLangIdx = 0
let g:myLangCodes = [ "en_us", "eo", "fr", "it", "br", "nl" ]
let g:myLangs = [ "language:", "lingvo:", "langue :", "lingua:",
"yezh:", "taal:" ]
function! MySpellLang()
let g:myLangIdx = g:myLangIdx + 1
if g:myLangIdx >= len(g:myLangs) | let g:myLangIdx = 0 | endif
exe "setlocal spell spelllang=" . g:myLangCodes[g:myLangIdx]
echo g:myLangs[g:myLangIdx] g:myLangCodes[g:myLangIdx]
endf
map <F7> :call MySpellLang()<CR>

:nnoremap <f11> :set spellang=eng_gb spell<cr>
:nnoremap <f12> :set spelllang=nl spell<cr>
If you want to be able to toggle within insert mode, you can do
the above mixed with

:imap <f12> <c-o><f12>

I'm using version 7.3 on a Windows XP machine.
When editing multiple buffers, I do :bnext to get to the next buffer.
Unfortunately, when I return to that buffer or one of the previously
edited buffers, I can no longer "undo" the changes in the
corresponding buffer.
Is there a way to set it up so that even if I do :bnext that I can
still undo changes when I return to the same buffer? I think what is
automatically happening is that every time I do :bnext it is saving
the file, and somehow that is flushing the undo list.
Thanks!

I'm a real noob when it comes to vim but I *am* learning. I'm
currently writing a lot in Dutch as well as English, but not really in
the same document. Is there a way to set let's say <F11> as a
'English' key and <F12> as a 'Nederlands' key, executing the commands
below:
<F11> would do `set spelllang=en_gb` then `set spell`
<F12> would do `set spelllang=nl` then `set spell` also
I'm not interested in localisation strings changing or my menus in
gvim turning to Dutch; basically, just the spelllang parameter.
I hope there's a way to execute more than one command with a single
key.
Cheers

I presume you want something like
let s = capitalise(s)
instead of doing a :s sort of command. While one doesn't exist,
you can use a mashup of the two:
let s=substitute(s, '\w\+', '\u\1', 'g')
if you just want to capitalize the first letter and leave the
rest alone. If you want to lowercase the rest, you can do
let s=substitute(s, '\(\w\)\(\w*\)', '\u\1\L\2', 'g')
The difference can be seen in transforming
let s = 'myVariable'
The first form will transform it to
MyVariable
while the second form will transform it to
Myvariable
And as always, if you want it functionized, you can easily wrap
it up:
function! Capitalize(s)
return substitute(s, '\(\w\)\(\w*\)', '\u\1\L\2', 'g')
endfunction

PuTTY is often used to remotely log in to a Unix system from a
Windows system.
It sets TERM to "xterm" by default, but I'm thinking about changing
that to "putty". Some highlight color combinations that look good
on a real xterm or on a GNOME Terminal look horrible on PuTTY, and
knowing which terminal I'm really using would allow my color scheme
to set better highlight colors.

I'm having an issue typing dead keys since last year. The issue started when I
upgrade Vim from version 6 to version 7. In that time I started a thread here
but, since the problem was not solved, I rollback to using Vim 6 again.
I thought the problem could come from an installed plugin or another Vim
script. Last month I was able to completely format my notebook and start a new
installation. I installed Vim 7 without any of my plugins or scripts but the
problem persists. Even starting Vim with '-u NONE' command line option.
The issue with the dead keys is random. That is, sometimes it happens,
sometimes not. Is difficult to predict when it will happen. I work in a
Windows XP Professional machine using ISO-8859-1 character set (cp1252 on
Windows and cp850 in a MSDOS box) the official language is Brazilian
Portuguese and I use an US International keyboard layout. The last made test
was in a notebook with official language English (United States), also using
an US International keyboard layout. In that machine the cp1252 (ISO-8859-1)
is still used in Windows but MSDOS boxes use cp437 code page. The operating
system in this notebook is a Windows XP Home. This mail was written in a
MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and Vim 7.3. In the MacBook the problem
doesn't happen.
The problem: sometimes the dead keys like ", ', `, ~ and ^ doesn't show up.
This happens when I type this keys followed by a space. This is the default way
to get the character it self. That is, if I want to put the letter a between
single quotes I need the following key sequence: quote+space+a+quote+space.
Sometimes the quote character is not processed by Vim. But the space character
is and Vim prints a blank space in the buffer. With should not be since the
key sequence quote+space should print a ' character. Although the quote
character is not processed it's still kept in the keyboard buffer because,
when the a key is pressed, Vim prints an a acute (á), which is the result of
the sequence quote+a. The same issue happens with the other keys mentioned
above.
Well, the problem happens only in the GUI version, not in the terminal
version. That is, this only happens in GVim, not in Vim. Also the issue
happens only when I'm typing in the buffer in INSERT mode. The problem doesn't
happen when typing in the command window or in NORMAL mode.
With this knowledge I started to read all documentation about changes made in
this version and stumbled upon the 'lmap', 'keymap', 'iminsert' and 'imsearch'
options. I read all the documentation found in the 'mbyte.txt' file and
started to think that could be something it this matter. I build my own
'accents.vim' file and put it in my $RUNTIMEPATH/keymap folder. The file is
strait forward since I only needed some keys. The important part of it is:
\"<Space> \"
'<Space> '
`<Space> `
~<Space> ~
^<Space> ^
I really thought this would solve the problem but, don't. The problem
persists. Sometimes the key sequence works, sometimes don't. That's why I
think there is a Vim bug within this matter.
What I really need this time is some thoughts about how to debug Vim in a
Windows XP environment. How to download the Vim sources and what kind of debug
to use, cdb or gdb. And, if possible, in what files should I start search.
Regards,
Alessandro

The quickfix modification functions are rather difficult to use,
especially when you just want to edit one entry. For this reason I
created a vim script called editqf (http://www.vim.org/scripts/
script.php?script_id=3557). Basically you just press "i" in the
quickfix window. A new window will be opened where you can change the
quickfix entries. When you are done, just save/close the newly created
window with :w or :x.
I hope this is helpful to you.

You already got the answer of where to find the requested help, and by all means go read it: I've always liked the Vim help better than any novel.
Now: about this particular question:
% the current file
:p expanded to a full path
:h the "head" of the path (removing the last element)
IOW: %:p:h means "the directory of the current file". If the current "file" is actually a directory (i.e., you're in a netrw window), then %:p:h means the _parent_ of the directory being browsed.
There are other filename-modifiers than :p and :h -- the help will tell you what they are, with examples. And there are other "filename" symbols than % too:
:help filename-modifiers
:help cmdline-special
You could also have found the former by looking up ::p or ::h, or even %:p or %:h ; or the latter by looking up c_% -- they are actually after each other in a single chapter of one helpfile.
Note that if you're editing in split-windows mode, you may prefer to use :lcd rather than :cd in order to change only the "local" directory for the current window, without clobbering any working-directory which has been set for other windows.
Best regards,
Tony.

hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict:
77. The phone company asks you to test drive their new PBX system
While I'm not sure what's happening, if you've already searched
with "/", you can leave the search blank in the :s command:
:%s//replacement/flags
to search for the last thing searched.
My first question would be to ask what the entire :s command is
that you're using. If there's a "]" in the replacement, it can
be seen as closing a character-class started in the search-part. E.g.
:%s/[ /&]/g
searches for the first space/slash/ampersand on the line and
replaces it with a "g". It doesn't look for all the "[ " and put
a closing "]" after them. This can be prevented by escaping
literal "[" characters (assuming that "^[" was a literal escape):
:%s/^[\[K^[\[?1l^[>/replacement/g
^ ^
Hope that gives you some leads.

From what I can gather from a little Googling:
- 8.3 filenames can only be disabled at all on NTFS volumes.
- They can be disabled system-wide from Windows NT onwards.
- They can be disabled per-volume on Windows 7.
- They are disabled by default on Windows (Server) 2008.

Put backslashes before the [ which will start collections without that.
It should have them when using "/" too, but it must backtrack and 'fix'
it for you better than :s does.
^[\[K^[\[?1l^[>
\e would also be more readable than ^[, IMHO:
\e\[K\e\[?1l\e>
Mind you, I'd hardly call that readable either.

That's where two pieces of magic come in:
- Placing that line in ftplugin/netrw.vim means that the mapping will
only be defined when creating a netrw buffer (at its FileType event)
- The <buffer> modifier in the mapping means it will only apply to the
current buffer, other buffers won't see it.
See
:help ftplugin
:help :map-<buffer>

If it's a bulky script, you could put it someplace out of the way (let's
say, name it ~/.vim/macros/foobar.vim ) then add several one-liners to
source it: e.g. either add
runtime macros/foobar.vim
either as part or all of each of
~/.vim/ftplugin/c.vim
~/.vim/ftplugin/cpp.vim
~/.vim/ftplugin/css.vim
~/.vim/ftplugin/javascript.vim
or else place in your vimrc the single autocommand (this is method 3 below)
autocmd FileType c,cpp,css,javascript runtime macros/foobar.vim
For both of these (which correspond to methods 2 above and 3 below) your
script will be sourced once for each editfile to which it applies: so it
should use :setlocal (not :set), :lcd (not :cd), :let b:var = value (not
:let var = value) etc.
One example of the latter would be, quite near the begin of your script:
if exists('b:did_run_foobar')
finish
endif
let b:did_run_foobar = 1
to avoid sourcing the script twice for the same buffer.

IIRC the operation is a little bit different than Vim: first you
select a region (eg. sw), then you issue a command. The script uses a
semi-transparent window to indicate the current mode the script is in.
The last time I used it was end of 2008. I don't know how AHK has
evolved since then so the script might not work any more.
You are free to use any part of the script.

Got it now.
The problem is that the :g command just subtracts the number of lines in
the buffer where it starts from the number of lines in the buffer where
it ends to produce that message.
Of course it assumes those two buffers are the same but it doesn't
*check* that it is so.
I have a small patch to fix that as soon as my registration on vim-dev
goes through...

I often use the following:
:g/pattern/t.|s/./=/g
to "title-ize" (underline with a same-length row of "===") lines
matching /pattern/
I also use something like
:t$s#3/4/2011#3/18/2011
in some of my log-files to copy the current-dated log-line to the
bottom of the file and change the date.
So I can see doing either (move or not-move the cursor), and I
can see use cases for both. Vim's behavior is likely just an
artifact of "ed did it that way, and the original vi did it that
way". Fortunately, my previous location is just a control+O away
for when I want to be at the source location instead of the
destination location.
The one reason I *do* use :m and :t frequently is to swap lines
without trampling my scratch register. I could do
ddp
but it's just about as easy (and mentally hard-coded) to issue
:m+
and preserve my scratch register. Same goes for copying the
line. I could just issue
Yp
but if I want to keep my scratch-register contents, I'll just issue
:t.
> Is there a way I may have overlooked to change that behavior?
