Reading over `:help modeline`, I think your commented-version needs to
omit the extra in-modeline colons (just keeping the first/last):
/* vim: ts=3 sw=3 et nu ic: */
worked from my testing, allowing everything in one line, and also not
getting the vim error.

Reading over `:help modeline`, I think your commented-version needs to
omit the extra in-modeline colons (just keeping the first/last):
/* vim: ts=3 sw=3 et nu ic: */
worked from my testing, allowing everything in one line, and also not
getting the vim error.

How to put modelines in a CSS file
Hi all,
I needed to put vim:ts=3:sw=3:expandtab:nu:ic: into my CSS file. When
I tried:
/* vim:ts=3:sw=3:expandtab:nu:ic: */
The preceding gave me a "Unknown option: */" error when I reread the
file. So then I tried:
// vim:ts=3:sw=3:expandtab:nu:ic:
The preceding was OK with Vim, but gave me a CSS parse error.
So I figured "OK, I'll play your silly game, went back to /* and */,
but put the */ on the following line:
/* vim:ts=3:sw=3:expandtab:nu:ic:
*/
The preceding passed CSS validation, errorlessly survived a Vim reread,
and was honored by Vim. You guys probably knew this already, but for
anybody who didn't, this is what you do when your comments require a
closing tag: Just end one line with the modeline and put everything
else on the next line.

I'm sorry that you are frustrated with the responses you have gotten.
First, the help on this subject can be found at :help gui-mouse and
:help mouse-using.
The short answer is that you can map <3-LeftMouse> to do whatever you
can do with Vim script.
Other than that, a single click moves the cursor to the mouse location,
double click selects the word under the mouse, and triple click selects
line-wise (which implicitly includes the ending newline). Yes, this is
different from the standard Windows behavior.
If, when double or triple clicking, you do not release the mouse, i.e.
hold the button down after the second or third press, then moving the
mouse extends the selection, word-wise for double click and line-wise
for triple click.
You might get almost what you want by moving the mouse to the left of
the line, double clicking without releasing, and then dragging to near
the end of the line. I know it's not as convenient as a triple click,
but without mapping the mouse events, I think that is the best you can
do.
However, all the mouse events can be mapped. Some additional relevant
help topics: Select-mode, gui-selections, and map.
The problem with Vim's help is that it is so extensive that it is
sometimes hard to find exactly what you are looking for!

Re: Triple Click To Select Entire Line In Windows GVIM
Let me try this one more time. While I appreciate all the hints about yy, etc., my question is how to use the triple-click to select a line without adding the new line. I need to know if triple-clicking is hard coded in Gvim to add a new line, and if it is hard coded then there is no solution. If there is an option in Gvim to allow triple clicking to not include the new line, then that is the option I need. Thank you all.

"+yy does exactly that, copy the current line into the clipboard in
Windows GVim, but it also contains the final new line. I suppose you can
use the TextYankPost event to strip the final newline if you do not like
it.

"+yy does exactly that, copy the current line into the clipboard in
Windows GVim, but it also contains the final new line. I suppose you can
use the TextYankPost event to strip the final newline if you do not like
it.

Re: Re: Triple Click To Select Entire Line In Windows GVIM
Hi
I appreciate that Christian is an expert, but in my version of vim typing + does not appear when typing +yy.
I wd have expected to type "+yy which does show, and does yank the line into the clipboard.

Is your selection on a line, a sentence or paragraph?
A paragraph can have several sentences, a sentence several lines, a line
several words. These entities all have their own 'nouns' in the VIM
command language.
It depends what VIM-command is behind the tripple-click.
'yy' copies the entire line, also parts that flow forth on new lines
below
'ys' copies the sentence up to the period or whatever mark you set for
the type of file
'yg$' copies til the end of the line with visual characters, but not the
hidden newline. On sentences that flow over several lines this copies
only the line the cursor is on from the cursor position til the enod of
line.
Using the keyboard will give you more control.

I have noticed that patterns in published syntax files never use the `\v` (very magic) modifier. Is there any deeper reason than people's preferences for this? Being used to Perl patterns I practically always use it and find it hard to keep track of when to use backslashes when not using it. The result is that more or less subtle errors creep in when I'm writing a syntax file, so I'd prefer to use it unless it's a Really Bad Idea.
There's no reason not to use it and it appears to be employed in some of the distributed syntax files.
I generally find it harder to read, but you obviously don't, and there's never been any sort of restriction on its use. These things are generally left up to the maintainers.

Subject: Syntax: Using \v (very magic) in patterns in syntax files
I have noticed that patterns in published syntax files never use the `\v` (very magic) modifier. Is there any deeper reason than people's preferences for this? Being used to Perl patterns I practically always use it and find it hard to keep track of when to use backslashes when not using it. The result is that more or less subtle errors creep in when I'm writing a syntax file, so I'd prefer to use it unless it's a Really Bad Idea.
Hi
I deeply sympathise with you. It seems complete madness that the slashing is different for various quantifiers. (* recognised as a meta character, but not + or ?). My reading of the help suggests that very magic doesn't cure this.
It does in that all ASCII punctuation characters can be escaped to be "normal" and those that are metacharacters are meta when not escaped. Word characters, quite sensibly do still need a backslash to be meta. That's consistent enough for me.You seem to be talking about the perl behaviour, which seems consistent to me. My whinge was about the vim behaviour. Heree's a help snippet:
That's magic. Very magic and very nomagic are distinct from magic and nomagic. They are each other's opposite and both are consistent but there are currently no options for them: you have to use the `\v` and `\V` modifiers in the pattern (or `\m` and `\M` but why? :-) You can even use them to change behavior in the middle of a pattern!
From the help:
*/\v* */\V*
Use of "\v" means that after it, all ASCII characters except '0'-'9', 'a'-'z',
'A'-'Z' and '_' have special meaning: "very magic"
Use of "\V" means that after it, only a backslash and the terminating
character (usually / or ?) have special meaning: "very nomagic"
Examples:
after: \v \m \M \V matches ~
'magic' 'nomagic'
a a a a literal 'a'
\a \a \a \a any alphabetic character
. . \. \. any character
\. \. . . literal dot
$ $ $ \$ end-of-line
* * \* \* any number of the previous atom
~ ~ \~ \~ latest substitute string
() \(\) \(\) \(\) group as an atom
| \| \| \| nothing: separates alternatives
\\ \\ \\ \\ literal backslash
\{ { { { literal curly brace

Re: Triple Click To Select Entire Line In Windows GVIM
The selection is a single line. 'yy' does not put the selection into the Windows clipboard, which triple clicking does. I just want to get rid of the newline.

Is your selection on a line, a sentence or paragraph?
A paragraph can have several sentences, a sentence several lines, a line
several words. These entities all have their own 'nouns' in the VIM
command language.
It depends what VIM-command is behind the tripple-click.
'yy' copies the entire line, also parts that flow forth on new lines
below
'ys' copies the sentence up to the period or whatever mark you set for
the type of file
'yg$' copies til the end of the line with visual characters, but not the
hidden newline. On sentences that flow over several lines this copies
only the line the cursor is on from the cursor position til the enod of
line.
Using the keyboard will give you more control.
