Re: Using vim9 script in cmd-line without vim9cmd

As also wrote on github, I second this. However:

1. vim9 variables are script-scoped. If you declare from the command line, e.g. `:var a = 0` what shall be the scope of `a`?

2. Having an option set vim9cmdline (false as default) to switch the command line interpreter between legacy and vim9 script looks a viable idea to me

My 2 cents,

Python or Powershell library for Vim-Server functionality?

All,

Are there any libs for Python3 or Powershell to utilize the vim-server functionality in Windows?

I'm asking because I'm trying to find one that's safe to install.

Thank you,

  helpdeskaleer

Termdebug in vim9?

Hi all,

I was in need of a debugger for embedded systems and I built all a machinery around Termdebug. I eventually made it work in satisfactory manner, or., let's say, it met my needs. However, I wanted to make some other changes and I figured that I had to change the Termdebug source code. However, given that I cannot script with the legacy language, and given that I had a surgery ten days ago that keep me locked at home (all good and all fine if you were asking) I took the freedom of converting Termdebug in Vim9 language. I tested it a bit and it seems to work fine.

If you want to give it a shot and give some feedback, here is where it is stored:

https://github.com/ubaldot/experiments/tree/main

There is also the original plugin in legacy scripting language. If you open both the versions in a vertical split, then you can compare them back-to-back fairly easily. There is also a changes.txt so you can see my intentions on what I wish to do with it. :) 

If you believe that the work is well-done I can issue a PR towards Vim repo. Or I can make some changes reported in changes.txt file and make a PR. You let me know :)   
Otherwise if you think it's a bad porting (and I would be perfectly fine with that given that I am an applied mathematician, not a programmer :D) I will hack the current version by throwing away all the things that I don't need and use the "leftovers" it as basis for a plugin that I actually kinda need. :) 

Cheers,
/Ubaldo

Re: vim cannot write a file being saved by OneDrive but Notepad++ can

I found a reference to whitelisting a program with Windows, here:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/ransomeware-protection-adding-applications-to-the/842850e6-4312-49b6-9c10-09bf3ba1804a

Sadly I followed the instructions and it didn't fix the problem.

My IT guy came by and suggested I go to "Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection history", and click on a recent item.

Sure enough, it showed

App or process blocked: gvim.exe

...

Blocked by: Controlled folder access

There was a link, "Controlled folder access settings" > "Allow an app through Controlled folder access" which shows "Allow an app through Controlled folder access".

There's a list there of allowed apps, and a button, "+ Add an allowed app".  I used that to allow gvim and away I went. No more problems.

Notepad++ can read and write the file just fine.

Any ideas?

I've just tried that, and it works like a charm! For older versions of
Vim, I've found that I can create a symlink in ~/.vim/autoload, e.g.:

cd ~/.vim/autoload
ln -s ../pack/plugins/foo/autoload/foo.vim

Then foo.vim is found by `import autoload` in my vimrc.

Thanks,
Life.
