I use several versions of vim throughout the day, all inside xterms, and
some inside tmux running in an xterm. Some versions of vim I have
noticed break my long standing way of adding newlines in a :s///
substitute command.
To make all %% sequences turn into a new line, what I'd type is:
colon percent s slash percent percent slash ctrl-v ctrl-m slash g enter
And that would look like this in vi, nvi, and vim up until recently:
:%s/%%/^M/g
On the versions that break that, it instead looks like this:
:%s/%%/^[[27;5;109~/g
Which will not (does not) provide the subtitution I want.
I have found the vim I'm using on NetBSD inside xterms without tmux
do this, but that same vim on NetBSD inside xterms with tmux does not
do that.
:version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Jan 7 2020 09:55:54)
Included patches: 1-2200
[...]
:r! uname -sr
NetBSD 8.1
Inside tmux, $TERM is "screen", outside tmux $TERM is "xterm",
$XTERM_VERSION is "XTerm(330)". Figuring out the exact differences
between the screen and xterm terminal definitions is not something I
want to dive into.
If I use vim.old on that same system, the substitute works inside and
outside of tmux. On vim.old:
:version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Jun 11 2019 15:16:00)
Included patches: 1-1517
Is this a known bug that has been fixed in a patch after 2200? If so,
I'll request the vim here be updated. If not, can this be fixed? (And
then I'll request the update.)
thanks,
Elijah
