Not at the moment. The idea is interesting, though, so I will add it
to my todo list and implement it some day.

just guessing here, but python 2.7.1 is fairly new -- there's
a good chance your vim was compiled with 2.6 and can't find
the 2.6 dll

You are right that I have set up the grepprg in my rc
"set grepprg=grep\ -niH"
->Cmd.exe
grep -i random %INCLUDES%/*
--works--
-> Gvim(win32)
:grep -i random \%INCLUDES\%/*
--works--
This way I am also able to use the Vim defined variables as env
variables. For example
let $INCLUDES1=c:\somedevfolder
:grep -i random \%INCLUDES1\%/*
--works--
I set my shell to "c:\cygwin\bin\bash" in Gvim
:grep -i random $INCLUDES/*
--works(because uses Cygwin grep) but then I cannot open the files in
the quick fix because they are all in Cygwin Unix paths--
Thanks again for all the help. This is going to be super helpful to
me.

Vim doesn't expand environment variables in commands executed by the
shell, it lets the shell do the expansion. If your shell is
Window's cmd.exe, it won't know how to expand a Unix-style
environment variable.
To see which shell Vim is using, execute
:set shell?
You should be able to see the command Vim executes when you execute
:grep -i random $INCLUDES/*
When I do that, I see
:!findstr /n -i random $INCLUDES/* >C:\DOCUMEN~1\garyjohn\LOCALS~1\Temp\VIeCF5.tmp 2>&1
shell returned 1
(1 of 1): FINDSTR: Cannot open $INCLUDES/*
(You may have redefined 'grepprg', but if your shell is cmd.exe, the
principles will be the same.)
I don't have $INCLUDES defined, so I tried an environment variable
that I do have defined, $USERNAME. The results were essentially the
same, as expected.
:!findstr /n -i random $USERNAME/* >C:\DOCUMEN~1\garyjohn\LOCALS~1\Temp\VIeCFA.tmp 2>&1
shell returned 1
(1 of 1): FINDSTR: Cannot open $USERNAME/*
However, the following worked, in the sense that $USERNAME, or
rather %USERNAME%, was correctly expanded.
:grep -i random \%USERNAME\%/*
:!findstr /n -i random %USERNAME%/* >C:\DOCUMEN~1\garyjohn\LOCALS~1\Temp\VIeCFB.tmp 2>&1
shell returned 1
(1 of 1): FINDSTR: Cannot open garyjohn/*

I do have Cygwin here and I cannot tell which grep Vim(windows
version) uses to be honest, since I cannot get grep to print the
platform but I believe it is the windows version from Windows Gnu
utilities which has v 2.5 while Cygwin version is 2.6. I have both
greps in my system because I am on 64bit and I had issues with Cygwin
utilities.
In any case I have export ed $INCLUDES in my .bashrc so when I echo in
Cygwin shell
$ echo $INCLUDES
/cygdrive/c/MinGW/include
When I echo in Vim
"c:\\MinGW\\include"
I am using Windows version of Gvim
I feel like Vim is not expanding $INCLUDES to grep in this command
because if I just put straight absolute path to MinGW\include grep
works
works
":grep -i rand c:\MinGW\include/*"
does not work
":grep -i random $INCLUDES/*"

Hello!
From the vim manual, under :help mks...
2. Restores global variables that start with an uppercase letter and contain
at least one lowercase letter, if 'sessionoptions' contains "globals".
So, unfortunately, g:netrw_list_hide does not satisfy that constraint.
I checked into whether this process could be automated; unfortunately,
there does not appear to be a SessionWritePre autocmd event. If there
was, something like
au SessionWritePre * let g:Netrw_list_hide= g:netrw_list_hide
au SessionLoadPost * let g:netrw_list_hide= g:Netrw_list_hide
might work.

I make use of Dr. Campbell's netrw browse window, which has the
ctrl-h feature that allows me to edit the hide list.
The hide list is associated with g:netrw_list_hide. I would like to
be able to save that variable to my session file. However, when I
save the session, I do not see that the g:netrw_list_hide is saved.
In fact g:netrw_list_hide is not even defined until netrw is first
invoked.
Is it possible to save g:netrw_list_hide?

you using Cygwin vim or Windows (g)vim? What does 'echo $INCLUDES'

I've never had any problems when using ctags -R. Currently I use:
ctags -R --extra=+f --fields=+SK-k --totals .
And my 'tags' option is set to:
./tags;/,tags
But, I just discovered that I normally build tags using a command
defined in my .vimrc, which uses getcwd(), which always seems to
return an absolute path. So that's probably why it works for me.

I am trying to use Vim R plugin [1], which is a Python plugin that uses
PyWin32 on Windows. I have installed Python 2.7.1 and PyWin32. It is
installed correctly, as I am able to do a "import win32api" from python
shell without errors. But, on GVim, if I do:
:python import win32api
I receive the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
Notice that this is not the standard error for module not found ("No
module named x"). It is probably related to the path python uses for its
DLL modules. I have played with sys.path, but without success.
I also noticed the first path in sys.path is "C:\\must>not&exist", which
is probably a bug. Don't know if this could be related, but I tried do a
sys.path.pop(0), and it didn't work.
Anyone has an idea of the problem?

So your difficulty I suspect is in understanding the loading sequence.
Here's some reading on the subject:
:help .vimrc
:help load-plugins
:help 'runtimepath'
Your first email mentioned that "syn clear" didn't work in your syntax
file. What is it named, in what directory is it in (so we may infer
when it gets loaded), how are you triggering your syntax to be loaded
(.vim/filetype.vim?) and how does syntax/vim.vim get involved?
Remember that things that are loaded later can modify what's happened
thus far. So, if your syntax file is loaded with its "syn clear" and
then syntax/vim.vim is loaded, naturally vim.vim's definitions have not
been cleared; in this case they weren't even loaded and defined when
that "syn clear" was issued.

I have the same behavior when I turn off cscope feature. But it worked
for me for the moment. I don't know what I did that it is not working
now.
I think that showing the list of places to jump is needless because it
populates the quickfix list and it is much more powerful (for example
I can search on this list and I can switch place at any time without
jumping backwards). The behavior I want to achieve is that when I
press C-] it will jump to the first place on the list and will
automatically show the quickfix list.
Any ideas?

Karol

I don't use cscope, so I can't help much, but the last paragraph at
:help cscope-howtouse
says
| If the results return only one match, you will automatically be taken to it.
| If there is more than one match, you will be given a selection screen to pick

I don't know if this is only true for explicit cscope commands or also
if 'cscopetag' is set.

I don't see an option that would switch the behaviour of C-], but you
don't happen to have C-] remapped to :tselect or something else, do
you? See, if

The command VxOccur from the script 2606 will run grep and turn the
above list into something like:
filename
21: This is a context line
22: This line contains STRING
23: This is another context line
filename 2
...
It will display the matches in a popup window. Then you can use the
filter mode (press f) to narrow the results interactively. If you
search for 'STR' you would see:
filename
22: This line contains STRING
In the new (unpublished) version the 'STR' in STRING would also be
highlighted.
You have to set g:vxoccur_grep_mode to 1 or 2 if you want to use grep
(0 uses :vimgrep).
For grep to display N context lines, add -CN to the range of files to
search when prompted.
VxOccur documentation:
http://vimuiex.sourceforge.net/vimdoc/vimuiex_plugins.html#vimuiex-vxoccur
The script
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2606
The preview of the next version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vimuiex/files/tar/vim-7.3-226-puls-vimuiex-0.8.tar.bz2/download
This implements the popuplist() function in C. Different algorithms
are implemented for filtering the displayed items. They are described
in help, see :h puls-matchers, or the file runtime/doc/popuplist.txt
in the tar file.

I used a Solaris system for years without root privileges and was

directories.

It appears that the terminfo entry for xterm does not match the
behavior of the terminal you're using. What are you really using?
It may also be that the terminfo database on your Solaris system is
poorly maintained and doesn't have the correct or complete
description of an xterm.
There are several possible solutions to this.
First, make sure that the value of $TERM matches the terminal you're
using.
Next, check that the terminfo database exists and is correct for
that terminal. You can execute the "infocmp" command to see the
terminfo description of your terminal. You can also execute Vim's
":set termcap" command to see Vim's idea of your terminal's
capabilities. These usually come from the terminfo database but Vim
sometimes fills in some values from it's built-in terminal
information.
If the terminfo database information is wrong for your terminal, you
can look in the database for a terminal description that more
closely matches your terminal. Then you can just set TERM to that
name. Alternatively, you can build your own terminfo database from
publicly-available sources or your own description, but that may be
more than you want to tackle for now.

I don't understand what does not work.
One way to create your own mappings for the arrow keys, for example,
is to put in your ~/.vimrc at set of lines like these,
map OD <Left>
map OC <Right>
map OA <Up>
map OB <Down>
where for each of those I typed "map ", then Ctrl-V, then hit the
actual arrow key to be mapped, then a space and Vim's name for that
key.
Instead of mapping each key, you could set Vim's termcap name for
each key like this:
set t_kl= OD
set t_kr= OC
set t_ku= OA
set t_kd= OB
where again I inserted the key's character sequence by typing Ctrl-V
then hitting the arrow key.
Those are just some ideas since I don't know exactly what the
problem is nor what constraints your under.

Gary

If you cd to some directory and execute "ctags -R", the resulting
tags file will contain path names relative to that directory, making
it difficult to use the tags when Vim is started in any other
directory. A solution to this is to give ctags the absolute path
names of the directories you wish to search. In your case, you
could execute ctags as
ctags -R /src
or as
ctags -R /src/thread /src/device
Additionally, you can specify the location for the tags file with
the -f option, e.g.,
ctags -f /src/thread/tags -R /src
and you can tell Vim where that tags file is with
:set tags=/src/thread/tags
Then it won't matter where you start Vim, it will be able to find
the tags file and the tags commands (e.g., C-]) will be able to find
the target files.

at work there is Solaris machine with an oler vim installed. I am
neither sysadmin nor can I acchieve root privileges.
When starting vim (terminal) and trying to type anything else than
printable characters, these characters are inserted as
control-sequence but they are not "executed" (read: Cursor arrow down
does not move the cursor down but inserts its control sequence).
>echo $TERM
at the console says "xterm". CDE is used (motif).
Is there any chance to tweak, so that such things work without
remapping each charcter, which does not work, to a command sequence?
Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards,
mcc

filename:21: This is a context line
filename:22: This line contains STRING
filename:23: This is another context line
I save this output in a file and then open the file with vim. I want vim
to fold the context lines, so I see only lines containing STRING. Now I can
look at the target lines to find the one I am interested in, and if I need
some context to help me, I can unfold the context lines. I should be able to
use gF to open any file and line I want to go to.
For that that would be the perfect grep. I want it in particular, to search
my zillions of saved emails for a message containing a pattern.
It would be nice if I could unfold both the context line before and after the
target line, with one operation. But I do not know how to do that. Is there a
way to make the visible linei of a fold, be the line in the middle of that
fold?
A quickfix list would do some of this, but I do not think such a list can
display output results that include context lines. I tried it once using gnu
grep as the external grep - but it did not seem to work.
Suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Sounds like something is setting up a shortcut that starts with 'O'.
Vim is waiting for the next keystroke in a multi-key mapping. To see if
that's the case, type:
:noremap O
If there's any output, that would be the reason.
It might depend on what plugins you've got installed, and might only
happen for certain filetypes. So, test it from a situation in which the
problem occurs.

I don't understand this mechanism...
Normally, when a file matching a particular name pattern is loaded
into a buffer, a syntax file matching that pattern is loaded and
invoked. Now, the rules that are causing me trouble are defined in a
file called vim.vim and I don't find any matching patterns using
that syntax file in my own filetypes.vim or the system-wide one.
In general, it seems a pity that new features should break such
simple, unambiguous, and useful functionality as, e.g. "syn clear":
"This command should be used when you want to switch off syntax
highlighting, or when you want to switch to using another syntax.
It's normally not needed in a syntax file itself, because syntax is
cleared by the autocommands that load the syntax file. The command
also deletes the "b:current_syntax" variable, since no syntax is
loaded after this command."
Hopefully, I'm still missing something ...

The (non?-)problem is that Vim's omnicompletion API only
specifies that an omnicompletion function should be of the form:
function functionname(findstart, base)
The first time it's called as functionname(1, ''). That means the
function should find the start of the current 'word' to be
omnicompleted.
The second time it's called as functionname(0, 'start of word'). Then
the function should actually perform omnicompletion.
So, virtually all of the implementation is left to the function itself.
(Details at: :help complete-functions ).
The reason I say that it's a non-problem (with uncertainty) is that the
tradeoff is a huge amount of flexibility. You've run into one reason
this flexibility is problematic: things like caching are left up to the
omnifunction implementations themselves.
PHP's omnicompletion does a decent job of caching, IMO. Whereas under
Perl, I constantly see the flashes of "Scanning included file: ...".
The reason caching is complicated is that, while changing a file, you
change the set of included files. And included files can change outside
of Vim. And the set of included files is recursive. All of these
things are language-dependent, making the implementation of a central
"Just let Vim itself handle caching" solution problematic under the
current, very-flexible framework.

Thanks, neocomplcache looks powerful, I'll give it a try.
But why doesn't vim completion do this by default? As it stands, the completion
for vim is not feasible for projects that pull in more than a couple
of libraries, and
perhaps I'm using the functionality incorrectly.
I'd rather have a bundled solution, because although powerful, it
looks intrusive as well.
I'd like to have a simple ctrl-n and ctrl-p that works out of the box,
if possible..

It is https://bitbucket.org/ZyX_I/parinfo. No documentation (don't see doc/,
there is only a template). Options are defined in s:_options
(https://bitbucket.org/ZyX_I/parinfo/src/e2d95d730b4b/plugin/parinfo.vim#cl-8)
and are self-explanatory (except for SaveOptions which should not be used at the

Initial viminfo: one command ":echo 'Abc'" in history.
1. Launch vim 1, run ":echo 'Def'".
2. Launch vim 2, run ":echo 'Ghi'".
3. Exit vim 2.
4. Exit vim 1.
Viminfo history: ":echo 'Abc'", ":echo 'Def'".
Proposed history: ":echo 'Abc'", ":echo 'Ghi'", ":echo 'Def'".
How do you handle this situation (please don't reply if you ignore this issue)?
I have written a plugin for this, but guess it can be improved.

you probably have two or more mappings that start with ";". You can
check this with
:noremap ;
which will show you all (normal/visual/operator-pending mode) mappings.
