Yes, I see the same going back to vim74. Interestingly traditional ex-vi
behaves the same, while nvi jumps by each single "a" forward (which is
also confusing: on a line like this:
aaaaaa
and then searching for aa and hitting n
the cursor will move only by a single a forward, while I would expect it
to move by 2 "a")

Ah, I see, thanks for the results on different editors.

Though out of the norm, I like the nvi behavior. Glad to know that vim

also could mimic that.

 

I checked the POSIX specs, but it doesn't mention anything about it (or
I did not find it).

It's hard to find and hard to understand, but :h cpo-c let's you
configure this.

I had a hunch (or maybe I read sometime ago) that it would be in cpo, but thanks for pointing

out exactly where it is. Though I want that behavior, I will just use that on a need

basis. I am sure it is going to break many plugins if I turn it on unconditionally.

Thanks again Christian!

Re: Search anomaly?

Don't know if this helps but if you have 

aaaa

Vim will find the first set of aa's and go to the second set of aa's as if it was 'aa aa'.  Assuming because it already included the 2nd a in the first set of aa's.

Re: What would be an easy way for me to learn Vim9script?

Good afternoon,

A free Vim9script tutorial is apparently a lacuna to be filled;

there are some assorted observations such as [0] and [1], but

something more systematic I could only find [2] which only shows 

the source code which is mostly wrong as it declares vim9script but uses 

legacy vimscript if one looks for example at 05_dictionaries.vim. 

Ideal to get converts up to speed would be the readership of this mailing list

contributing to this pull request [3] for LearnXinYMinutes.

Re: An std-lib for Vim9script

In every language, I'm a big fan of *well curated, language community
supported* standard libraries. If it's well thought out, easy to use,
easy to document, and mostly bug free, I like the idea.

It's *very* important that any standard library be well curated. This
means not everything goes in the standard library, just stuff that
works, works well, makes programming easier, and is relatively bug
free. Therefore I think the standard library should most likely be a
subset of the library additions.

In summary, if you make it easier for me to learn and use Vim9script,
I'm a huge fan. I might even rewrite VimOutliner in Vim9script, because
truth be told, the old Vimscript was, in my opinion, horrible.

Re: An std-lib for Vim9script

That explains why I couldn't find it anywhere in the Vim repo. 

First off… thank you for creating those. I think they would be find contributions to Vimscript as a language. I know these are mainly in their alpha stages today, but if there are any discussions concerning why this should be added to Vimscript somewhere, please let me know. I'd be happy to chime in.

I've created the vim-devel package, which the scripts you mention are
part of, partly to become more proficient with Vim 9 script and partly

to make it clear that at the moment that repo is a personal initiative,

We could also use runtime/autoload/dist/vim.vim because it is already

Yeah you are right. I have updated it again and only included the

Ah, I see it now, and the bit now added to the top. Thank you.
I really don't want to sound demanding, but out of genuine
curiosity, why retain the vulnerable 9.1.0000 links at all? I
would fear most users might navigate the page like I did:
- "popular", "Windows", "Unix", "Mac"
okay, I'm on Windows...
- "32-bit installer", "64-bit installer", "32-bit zip", "64-bit zip"
okay, I'm 64-bit, so click 64-bit installer

Or similarly for "okay, I'll go with what's popular,
current-stable sounds good... not sure why there's multiple
stable links but I'll just grab the first x64 one".

The user ends up with a vulnerable install, without realizing.
Wouldn't it make more sense to bury the vulnerable installer
links behind a "archive" or "previous releases" or let users
find them from the directory links?

your download link there.

As far as what I am concerned, I don't plan to make changes to the
defaults, except for gradually moving (non-controversial) defaults from
defaults.vim to the C code, because this seemed to be what Bram wanted
to achieve. But it still causes a bit of discussion.

Independently of this, there has been a bit of discussion on whether or
not we should handle defaults.vim a bit more consistently, such that
there is no inconsistency between:
- users not having a configuration file at all
- users creating a simple (empty) vimrc file (where suddenly Vim would
behave slightly differently)

This has been a major source of discussion/confusion/hate for people in
the past. I don't know how to improve this situation yet.

Thanks,
Christian

The preceding paragraph is obviously the best way to satisfy everyone.
Those who are satisfied with the way things are now keep using Vim as
always. Those who want to adopt the new defaults in-toto source
defaults.vim. Those who want to make their own Vim interface source
something like my_defaults.vim.

Why change the defaults ?

I see several threads aguing in favour of a change of Vim's defaults.
I believe that such changes are unwise, and here is why :

At the moment, there are several sets of "default" option settings in Vim :
- "compatible" defaults (or "vi defaults") used when the -C switch
is used on the command-line or when you have no vimrc but an exrc
- - These are there to mimic the behaviour of legacy Vi (with the
exception of what Bram regarded as "bugs" in the POSIX description of
Vim). Therefore IMHO they MUST NOT be changed ;
- "POSIX" defaults, used in addition to the "vi defaults" when
$VIM_POSIX is set. These try to make Vim even more like legacy Vi than
just setting 'compatible', even to the point of imitating its
POSIX-entrenched "bugs". For the same reason as above, IMHO they MUST
NOT be changed ;
- "nocompatible" defaults. They are used, for example, if you have
an empty vimrc, or if you put -N -u NONE on the command-line ;
- "defaults.vim" settings. These are set by $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim
when no vimrc is found.
- - They are also set if you source either defaults.vim or
vimrc_example.vim somewhere near the beginning of your vimrc, or if
you have -u DEFAULTS on the command-line even if you have a vimrc
(which in that case won't be sourced).

I see several threads proposing to make this or that "defaults.vim"
setting the Vim default for everybody. IMHO this is unwise, because it
is not backward-compatible. If you want those settings even though you
have a vimrc, source the defaults.vim or the vimrc_example.vim from
it. If there are _other_ settings set by the defaults.vim which you
_don't_ want, well, reverse them when Vim comes back to your vimrc
after sourcing them. This is the time-honored backward-compatible way
to do it and if you do it this way instead of changing everyone's
defaults, no one will be surprised.

For instance the defaults.vim contains a line which says
filetype plugin indent on
My preferences go to filetype detection on, filetype plugins on,
filetype indent off. No problem : after sourcing
$VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim (which calls the defaults.vim nowadays)
my vimrc has a line
filetype indent off
and voilà.

Best regards,
Tony.

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

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!

...Marvin

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.

fwiw, and as a workaround only, entering (cursor at begin of line)
'v'isual to '$', then cursor left removes the newline from the
highlighted.

Re: Triple Click To Select Entire Line In Windows GVIM

I don't know if anyone responded, but the correct key strokes are

quote plus yy

You missed the beginning quote keypress

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.

"+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.

Thanks,

Re: Triple Click To Select Entire Line In Windows GVIM

Unfortunately, adding the double quote before +yy does not work for me either. In fact, any form of yy, etc, etc is not what I am looking for. I simply want to triple click a line and send it to the Windows clipboard without the trailing newline. That's all.
