Re: how to CTRL-A in a script

Try :execute "normal \<c-a>"

Otherwise, you'd have to embed an actual ctrl-A in your script by typing ctrl-v ctrl-a, which would put a 'weird' character in your script. 

I do have a version of the normal command (that I called, creatively, Normal) that lets me just do :Normal <c-a>. If you're interested, I can find its definition (I'm typing this from my phone).

I suppose because the filename is still stored twice within the viminfo
file with two different paths? Open your viminfo file (please make a
backup of it before messing with it) and search for the filename, for
which this issue occurs. You most likely find it there twice and you
need to make sure to have it there only once (with whatever path you
want to access the file).

> So, my question is, what is the practical point of this switch?

It uses a different viminfo file than the default one. By itself it
won't help, because you still have the problem, that you are editing the
same file under two different paths, so it looks like 2 different files
for Vim.

Best,
Christian

What's the point of the "-i" switch? was : How do I replicate vim settings across two machines?

Follow up to this thread, see bottom post. I have been messing about
with vim and I have used this command from my local machine:

$ vim ~/external/docs/mlog -i ~/external/.viminfo

From the manual:

-i {viminfo}
Specifies the filename to use when reading or writing the
viminfo file, instead of the default "~/.viminfo". This
can also be used to skip the use of the .viminfo file, by
giving the name "NONE".


But when I use this syntax, the cursor mark is still not at the same
place where I left when I used vim directly on the remote machine.

So, my question is, what is the practical point of this switch?

First, you _have_ to do that. That's the way you share the info of
which line you closed a file on, etc. The problem Christian was talking
about was the difference in filenames of the same file. That question
comes _after_ you have made a shared .viminfo file (either by symlinking
or by using git).

Christian will be able to clarify better when they reply.

Maybe the 'sidescrolloff' option works for this?

Re: alternating lines ?

so, when i write this, this is how i like it

but then, it removes cursorcolumn and cursorline when it's activated.

any file loads badly. like, even if i fill file with only spaces ( \n ), it will be slow when i scrool it up and down. 

tried alacritty, but still same. 

is that implemented in others like Neovim ?

if so, what would you recommend me to do ? i really find easier for my eyes to have those stripes, or something similar others also use. When i look horizontally, to see relative numbers, that's fine, but when it is further down, and also text is intended a lot (text start at 50% vertically of page), i can't use this program in it's fullest speed, as my eyes lose track of what row it was, and i always mistake 3-4 up/down (if i use  j/k motions, which i usually do)

yes .

that's what i want. 

but i have performance issues. 

and color it displays is grey. so not really useful..

but that is what i want.

it looks like, most efficient way to do this is by editing colorscheme. 

can someone help me with that? 

like, every odd line, to have like embossed effect compared to normal color of colorscheme.

that would be ideal and not distracting

alternating lines ?

how to get sort of alternating lines ?
not sure how to explain it, but if i want to have one line that is of background of colorscheme, and line after that, to have like some sort of deviation in terms of highlight. and line after this, to be again, background of colorscheme.
something like i have for current line on cursor with

Typedefs would look super nice to me, but for another reason: type
aliasing would make my code a lot easier to read!

Thanks for the thorough reply. This is not a blocker, at least for the
code I write, as `any` is a sufficiently good workaround, which perhaps
requires some extra care with typing in some cases, but nothing
dramatic. Looking forward to seeing these last issues being ironed out!

The second one should just work. Currently the class is only defined
when "endclass" is found. Doing it earlier is more implementation work,
but it should not require anything on the user side.

For the first example I'm not sure what the best solution is. There is
a plan to add some kind of typedef, but it would still require something
extra to indicate the actual implementation will follow later.

There is trouble when it's not just the class name that needs to be
known, but also what it contains. Then a forward declaration quickly
becomes a lot of duplicate text. And recursive dependencies need to be
handled, which is also relevant in this example.

class Hsv
this.h: float

Re: digraph_get('NU') returns 0xA

thank you for the explanation! from the perspective of interpreting the output of digraph_get*() functions, would this be the case any time it returns 0x0A, or is this a special case for "NU"?

Since the NUL byte terminates a string in C, it is internally replaced
with NL, 0x0A.  When written to a file it is changed back to a NUL.
I most places you don't notice this, but sometimes it does.

What OS are you using?

What command did you run to install vim?

Assuming you're on a unix system, removing both $HOME/.vimrc and $HOME/.vim will likely remove anything you did to customize vim and it is very unlikely the vim app/program is actually corrupt.

The Compose key is a thing in X before it ever reaches the terminal
or even vim. I prefer the default

<Compose> L -

which feels much more intuitive to me (I do all such character
compositions through the X Compose key and never use vim's digraphs
unless I'm helping someone with a vim digraph-related issue).

However, if you do want

<Compose> $ $

to make the British Pound symbol, you can create a ~/.XCompose file,
something like

$ cat >> ~/.XCompose

include "%L"
<Multi_key> <$> <$>
^D

I'm not exactly positive on the notation for the dollar key, so it
might be something like

<dollar>

instead of

<$>

but you can use xev(1) to show the key-name.

You might then have to restart vim (or possibly even restart your
X session)

Displaying the British pound key using the compose key

Vim 8.2

In vim I can enter the British Pound symbol with "Ctrl-K $ $" just fine.
However, I've been using the Compose key on my Sun Type 6 keyboard to enter
most of the Unicode characters, simply replacing Ctrl-K with Compose.  So
far this has worked with every digraph combination except the British Pound
symbol.  "Compose $ $" just inputs a $. Is there some mapping I could place
in my .vimrc file that would generate the same output?

Thanks.

[OT] vgrind or substitute for pretty printing on Ubuntu or Windows?

Sorry for an off-topic post.

Surprisingly, google search does not show the availability of vgrind for
Ubuntu. The replacement I currently use is https://www.lerup.com/printfile/

Would appreciate any suggestions for getting vgrind or another
substitute for pretty-printing on Ubuntu (20.04) or Windows.

Re: Beginner? How do I fix these error messeges

Are you trying to write out TODO.vim, or does it already exist on the interwebs? I asked this because it would be nice to read the code and see what is really going on here. Without this, here are a few tips

• You can search the help for any error you see, :h 484 should tell you give you more information on the first error
• First error looks like you're trying to load a file which doesn't exist. From the file path, looks like you have your home path scoped under Vim's runtime path. May wanna check that
• 492 is an error when you call some function that doesn't exist. Note, if you define a function in a script with vim9script, you'd have to make that function global by defining it as def g:FuncName

Hopefully this helps

Re: Cursor behavior in insert mode (soft wrap)

Same result here. Linebreak and wrapmargin=0 gives no hard breaks. Wrapmargin set to a nonzero value gives hard breaks.

But the original problem persists even with wrapmargin=0: The cursor behavior in insert mode is «strange» when moving to the next line.  The cursor moves to the next line while the last word stays on the previous line. If <space> is the next character i type, the last word on the previous line jumps to the next line.

So the question is what exactly do you want to happen? When I have linebreak and wrapmagin=0 I get no hard breaks.

I might have been to fast on the trigger here. From :help linebreak it seems to me that wrapmargin turns on "hard wrap" and inserts eol-characters.

I literally only had the three lines in my .vimrc. Setting wrapmargin to a non-zero value changed the cursor behavior. It now behaves as expected in insert mode. Thanks! But it also changed how vim reflows the visual display. With wrapmargin=0 vim will reflow my paragrahs fine when i delete words  in the begin of the paragraph. This is what I want to achieve.  With Wrapmargin set to a positive value, Vim will not reflow my visual display when I delete words early in a paragraph.

I'm not entirely certain this is a VIM issue. I cannot reproduce what you describe in my VIM.

However, first of all what do you have "wrapmargin" set to? Also, do you change "breakat" from the standard set of characters to break on?

I'm trying to configure a desired behavior when soft-wraping text.

I only have three lines in my .vimrc

set nocompatible 

set wrap 

set linebreak

This work as I would expect, except from the moment when vim actually wraps text. When I write a word that takes me to the end of the line, the cursor jumps to the next line while the word stays on the previous line. If I then press ‹space›, the last word moves to the same line as the cursor. I would like the cursor to stay on the same line as the last word when typing.

Basically, I think I'm trying to acomplish what is standard word-wrap and insert in other editors/word processors.

Is there a way to accomplish this? Is this due to terminal settings?

(I have posted the same question here two months ago, but no answer yet)

Best regards
