syntax highlighting for class names

In the following text

class Foo {

I want to highlight "Foo".

I tried the following in .vim/syntax/javascript.vim:

syntax region javaScriptClassName start=/class / end=/ /

In .vimrc I have:

hi javaScriptClassName ctermfg=blue

That isn't working. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I am not the OP but have a follow up question. Is it possible to
document the --startuptime option in the man page? It works in vim
7.4.488 on Debian but is not listed in the man page.

Just encountered such a situation: If <CR> shall close the completion popup menu and otherwise open a new line, then only

inoremap <expr> <CR> pumvisible() ? "<C-Y>" : "<C-]><CR>"

works. The try

inoremap <CR> <C-R>=pumvisible() ? "<C-Y>" : "<C-]><CR>"<CR>

does not work because abbreviations will not expand anymore.
Apparently the command <C-]> comes to late.

While I prefer this for simplicity, it does mean that it becomes
difficult (if not impossible) to watch a setting that gets cascaded.
If I want to know when 'cpoptions' changes, and someone issues a
":set cp', it will change my 'cpoptions', but fire a "hey, 'cp'
changed", leaving me to store and compare the value for
'cpoptions' (or any of the other 40+ settings listed at ":help
'cp'")

If vim offers some variables for before/after inspection (I'd claim
it only needs one, depending on whether this is an OptionSetPre or
OptionSetPost sort of thing, as one of the before/after variables
would be the setting value itself), this trickle-down wouldn't work,
as the changed item would be described as "compatible" rather than
"cpoptions", and its values would be True/False rather than the
before/after values of 'cpoptions'

Okay, I'm cool with "this breaks things, don't do that", much like
the "WARNING: If the autocommand moves the cursor the effect of the
change is undefined" from the help.

I was presuming that the autocommand would set a pair of variables:
one to let you know which setting had changed, and one to let you
know the other (either previous or new as mentioned above) value.
The contents of the "which setting changed" would be where it would
matter. Would I test

if g:set_name=='cp' ...

or

if g:set_name=='compatible' ...

I'd file the whole thing under a "nice to have", much preferring a
stable vim over one that had these features with instability.

Well both should be unique, so the value should be matched against the

Yes this will be tricky. If I have some time, I'll look into it. But
note, autocommands have in the past contributed to quite some bugs and

I think that a second event fires after 'cp' is changed, but without some indication that it's a secondary reaction or some such, people will go mad trying to find out how the option was triggered. I would consider such a thing to be a single operation and create one event and have the variable be a list of all options.

Maybe also indicate the old value in there?

Yes, if it is a list I would want to see:

1.  current value  

2.  previous value

Whether this event fires before or after the option is actually changed.

In that list it would nice to have what triggered the option setting.  Not sure how we would describe that, maybe the statement itself "set cp" or some enumeration of it.

The trouble with that is that the line() functions are evaluated
only at the time the exec command is executed, so the region remains
the lines in the window at the time the syntax file was sourced.

I discovered that the other day when I tried doing something similar
with matchadd(), \%l and line("'a"). After seeing the result, it
was "obvious" why it failed. I wound up evaluating the matchadd()
in a CursorHold autocommand.

I would consider such a thing to be a single operation and create one event and have the variable be a list of all options.

I'm not too worried about the useless case because I can already, in a WinLeave, go back to the window that was left, so this already exists. Alternatively, you could sandbox this event so you can't reset any options in the list of options that triggered this event.

I can also see the case where this event could be fired recursively with two listeners that listen to options A and B and keep resetting options B and A, respectively. So, maybe the sandbox would have to be limited on whether settings within the listener trigger further events.

Actually it has a great deal to do with keyword detection. One use of 'iskeyword' is in syntax definition files, when using "keyword" type matches. :help :syn-keyword.

Syntax highlighting in Vim predates my use of Vim by many years. But since keyword highlighting is the most basic sort, I'd guess it was the first introduced.

See ":help \%l" and ":help line()" (especially with "w0" and "w$") and
you should be able to do something like:

exec 'syntax region YourRegion start=+\\%' . line('w0') . 'l+ end=+\\%' . line('w$') . 'l+'

It's ok I have just modified vim74/syntax/xml.vim in order to synchronize only onto 100 fewer lines

syn sync minlines=100
syn sync maxlines=100

I don't know what you mean by "define a region", but you can
visually select all the lines on the current displayed page with

HVL

H moves the cursor to the first line of the window; V starts
visual mode linewise; L moves the cursor to the last line of the
window.

Correct me, if I get sth wrong here, but autocommands are based on events? How would I implement e.g. a "ReadonlyChanged" with other events?

I second Christian's suggestion, making it more generic. There are
times I've wanted to catch changes in other settings (mostly for
debugging purposes), and a broader OptionSet event with some variable
containing the option name, the old value, and the new value.

Though this would get particularly hairy for settings that impact
other settings such as

:set cp

which changes a whole bunch of other settings. Does one just fire a
single "OptionSet", or does one then cascade the firing of more
"OptionSet" events for the ~48 settings it would impact?

Then you also have "useless machine"[1] cases where the code fired on
the event re-sets the option back to its previous state:

:autocmd OptionSet * if g:option_name=='expandtab'|set et|endif

You'd also have issues of option names: do you use the long or short
form to identify them?

It's a big ugly can of worms, and while I'd enjoy seeing the
functionality come to Vim, I'd rather it be done "right".

That all seems to confirm that "iskeyword" is a misnomer for what in
reality is "istoken", AFAICT. Not only is token boundary recognition the
process described above, but the process in no way resembles detection
of a member of a keyword set, like those use in 'C': "if", "switch",
"case", etc.

If it were "isword", rather than "iskeyword", then the name would also
be truthful, and more easily understood, I guess.

[ann] New plugin to use patience diff algorithm for vim

Hi,

I made a new plugin to make Vim understand unified diffs.

This allows to generate diffs using the patience algorithm which might
provide better readable diffs. This really depends on the changes and
will not always provide better results but at least this allows to
easily switch between different diff algorithms.

Alternatively one can use any other tool to generate the diffs as long
as they are "unified" or "normal" style diffs.

You can also customize your setup to use any other tool to generated
diffs (e.g. mercurial) Read the help on how to configure the plugin
accordingly.

Screenshots are available at github:
https://github.com/chrisbra/vim-diff-enhanced

Installation:
Use the plugin manager of your choice. Or download the stable version of
the plugin, edit it with Vim (vim EnhancedDiff-XXX.vmb) and simply
source it (:so %). Restart and take a look at the help (:h
EnhancedDiff.txt)

Usage:

Once installed, take a look at the help at :h EnhancedDiff

Here is a short overview of the commands provided by the plugin:

:PatienceDiff - Use the Patience Diff algorithm for the next diff mode

:CustomDiff <algorithm> - Use <algorithm> to generate the diff. Use any of
myers
default
histogram
minimal
patience
After changing the algorithm, you need to run :diffupdate if you are in
diff mode to regenerate the diff.

Note: Those 2 commands use internally git to generate the diffs. Make sure you have at least git version 1.8.2 installed.

:DisableEnhancedDiff - Disable plugin (and use default Vim diff capabilities).

License:
The Vim License applies. See :h license

Best,
Christian

You can also see the dbext command line by running:
:DBSetOption display_cmd_line=1

With that DBSetOption, I can see that the command dbext is using is:

    mysql  -u root -D test -t < /tmp/vplBhqM/dbext.sql

I have previously defined some other mysql user and password in ~/.my.cnf. With the above command line, mysql, since there is no password parameter given, [I'm assuming] takes the password from ~/.my.cnf, which is not necessarily the password of the root user. I think this is a failing of mysql rather than dbext. A command that does is:

    mysql  -u root --password='' -D test -t < /tmp/vplBhqM/dbext.sql

Okay, great, now you have a mysql command line which works as you want.

Were you able to create a dbext profile that will add that?

If you create the following profile in your .vimrc:

let g:dbext_default_profile_mysql_no_password = "type=MYSQL:user=root:passwd=:dbname=mysql:extra=--password='' "

Then for me this produced the following mysql command line:

mysql  -u root -D mysql --password=''  < D:\WINDOW~1\dbext.sql

This one indicated to used the -t (tabbed) output:

let g:dbext_default_profile_mysql_no_password_tabbed = "type=MYSQL:user=root:passwd=:dbname=mysql:extra=-t --password='' "

Thanks for getting back to the list.  I will update the dbext.txt with this example.

For that use, a BufEnter autocmd is probably sufficient, combined with CursorHold for when you set the option manually.

Syntax highlighting is based upon regular expressions (see :he regexp).
A commonly used thing to pick up on are: words. Most variables,
function names, and commands, for example, fit into the description of
"word". Hence, the scripts that specify syntax highlighting often use
the \k atom (see :help /character-classes); and the \k atom depends upon
the iskeyword setting. For example, syntax/latex.vim (by default)
removes the underscore from the iskeyword option because latex will
(usually) flag usage of it as an error.

I was trying to understand if it has a meaning in the highlight context. I'm going through an online book, Learn Vimscript the Hard Way and in the following chapter, http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/chapters/46.html, it talks about the # symbol not being in iskeyword in the context of comments and highlighting and I can't figure out why this matters. I think I'm getting the meaning of this option, i.e. it defines what a word is, but why it matters in highlighting, that is not clear to me.

mysql -u root -D test -t < /tmp/vplBhqM/dbext.sql

I have previously defined some other mysql user and password in ~/.my.cnf. With the above command line, mysql, since there is no password parameter given, [I'm assuming] takes the password from ~/.my.cnf, which is not necessarily the password of the root user. I think this is a failing of mysql rather than dbext. A command that does is:

mysql -u root --password='' -D test -t < /tmp/vplBhqM/dbext.sql

Note that -p doesn't accept a blank password (it'll prompt), but --password does.

Re: Capturing setting ro/noro

I'd like to set the editor's background whenever I switch to/read a RO file, or when I set the readonly option.

Right now I'm "abusing" statusline for my needs; it works pretty good but it is also pretty "dirty"...

No, you cannot detect when arbitrary options change.

You could monitor for an option change in a CursorHold event, maybe even combined with CursorMoved, etc.

But readonly will only change automatically when reading the file. So is BufReadPost sufficient for your needs? Why do you need to detect when the value changed?

For all these methods, you can read the current value with something like:

:let current_readonly = &readonly

Both of these filetypes need an additional setting in your .vimrc to enable syntax folding. See :help xml-folding and :help g:vimsyn_folding

For Vim scripts, also see http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Syntax_folding_of_Vim_scripts for possible enhancements.

'isk' contains a list of characters (or character-ranges) for those
characters that should be considered a "word". This comes into play
when using "\<", "\>", "\k" and "\K" in a regular expression; what
gets considered when you use "*" and "#" to search; what the "iw" and
"aw" text-objects select; what's considered a "w"ord motion; how
abbreviations are found; and plenty of other places.

For example, by default "-" isn't part of the 'isk' setting, but if
you wanted "vip" to highlight/select whole CSS selectors like
"background-color"

:set isk+=-

to add the dash. Now, if you do "viw" anywhere in the attribute,
it will highlight/select the entire "background-color" not just
"background" or "color".

It's a little tricky to add certain characters as they have special
meaning. The easiest way I've found is to make a range of length one
for "@":

:set isk+=@-@ " add an at-sign, good for email addresses
" and Python decorators

-tim

What's not clear? The help says: 'Keywords are used in searching and recognizing with many commands: "w", "*", "[i", etc. It is also used for "\k" in a |pattern|.'

So, it affects where the 'w' command (move to next word) stops. It affects what text the '*' command searches for. It affects what text the '[i' command searches for. It affects what other similar commands search for.

It also affects what text the '\k' character class matches when you are searching.

Search the help with ':helpgrep iskeyword' for other things it affects, for example, the CTRL-W command in insert and command-line mode, for deleting a word.

Syntax folding not responding

Hi,

What filetype I am opening (.vim or .xml), the method syntax folding does not proceed to fold operations meanwhile indent folding method do it.

I think it is a bad configuration in vimfiles.

Variable reset on new buffer [old] vim 74 compiled and wrong runtimepath

Ok, my problem is not about the help at all, sorry about
that. I completely forgot to run :helptags <dir>

Then for the runtime, a plugin broke cause some variables
(expandtab locally or not) are setup in a new buffer
now.

Sorry, and have a good one :)

Did ":help NERDTree" work before you compiled your own version? You
may just need to build a helptags file for your local help files by
executing

:helptags ~/.vim/doc

If you expect your python.vim file to be sourced as a filetype
plugin when you open a Python file, you need to put it in the
directory for filetype plugins, ~/.vim/ftplugin.

vim 74 compiled and wrong runtimepath ?

Hello,

I wanted to compile my vim in order to get the python option.

I downloaded vim74 from http://www.vim.org/sources.php and
then in /usr/local/opt/vim74 I configure like this:
./configure --with-features=huge --enable-pythoninterp
--prefix=/usr/local/opt
make -j10
make install

Then with an empty vimrc (but existing) and a ~/.vim/doc/NERD_tree.txt,
I launch the vim like so: /usr/local/opt/bin/vim
Inside vim now, I have the right runtimepath:
/home/arkadefr/.vim,/usr/local/opt/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/local/opt/share/vim/vim74,/usr/local/opt/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/home/arkadefr/.vim/after

but even a :help NERDTree doesnt work.

I try to include a ~/.vim/plugin/python.vim but even if it is read on
the startup, it is not applied when I open a python file :( Even worse
it set variables like "set noexpandtab" even though the filetype is
right.

What can I do in order to fix it? Did I compiled / configure it right?

Thanks
