Re: E325 ATTENTION message wrapping/formatting problem

Life,

Thanks for the reply!  Unfortunately your proposed workaround looks like a severe hack.  Christian had responded asking me to check other terminal emulators, and it appears to have been an issue with termcap (i.e. the TERM environment variable).  Manually running `TERM=xterm-256color vim` seems to fix it for me.

If you have any related suggestions I would love to see them, but I had to do something similar for mutt (sadly which I can't use anymore at work due to MFA requirements which preclude IMAP) for it to show colors.

I don't know, but you may mitigate the problem with `SwapExists` to call
a function that uses a less intrusive prompt.

For example, vimrc includes:

    vim9script
    import autoload "my/libvimrc.vim" as lib
    set cmdheight=2
    autocmd SwapExists * lib.SwapExists()

Then, in libvimrc.vim, I define:

    export def SwapExists()
      echohl WarningMsg
      echon $'A swap file exists: {fnamemodify(v:swapname, ":t")}'
      echohl None
      echon "\n" .. 'read-(o)nly (e)dit (r)ecover (d)elete (q)uit (a)bort (ENTER for details) '
      v:swapchoice = nr2char(getchar())
      echo "\r"
    enddef

The same can be done in legacy Vim script, of course.

Hope this helps,
Life.
