RE: Vim 7.2 on CentOS 6 - set ruler has no effect

Hi Tony,

When I type that command in vim window, it gives me nothing. It just returns the cursor position to its initial position. Am I supposed to type it some where else?

Hi Ben Fritz,

I looked into the vimrc and there is no statusline keyword anywhere in the file. I didn't customize my vi and just use what ever was set up by CentOS people.

--Farid

What does Vim answer to ":echo has('cmdline_info')" (without the double
quotes but with the single ones)? If it's 0 (zero), then the 'ruler'
feature wasn't included at compile-time.

BTW, Vim 7.2 is obsolete now (though admittedly less than the Vim 5.x I
saw someone use recently). The current version is 7.3.329. If you're
interested, see

Best regards,
Tony.
