Re: Unexpected behaviour of File browser in multi-windows environment

Hi Chip,

Sorry for my lack of precision.
The official name of the "black bar below the file" in the help is the
"status line".
Let us take the windows vim7.2 distribution with the default _vimrc.

Please type:
gvim file1 (long enough file to full the window)
:sp . (long enough directory to full the half window created)

The File browser is opened in the upper half window with the cursor
positioned on ../

Click on the status line below the screen where file1 is written in
reverse video.
Result: 1/ the cursor is positioned at its location before :sp . (OK)
2/.. is activated in the upper windows (surprising in my
opinion)

Quit and redo exactly the same except that instead of clicking on the
status line of file1, you now click somewhere inside file1.
Result: The cursor is positioned at the place you have clicked and ..
is not activated in the upper window (OK)

I hope you will reproduce the same behaviour.

Anyway, it is a minor flaw. But vim is so reliable...

Best regards

What is your 'scrolloff' setting?

:set scrolloff?

It appears to be non-zero, based on your description. I don't
know if you have manually set it in your vimrc or a plugin has
set it for you:

:verbose set scrolloff?

should tell you where it was last set. You should be able to
tweak this setting to get the behavior you're looking for.

:help 'scrolloff'

hope this helps,

Naive question: scrolling down keeping only 1 line

Hello,

Scrolling down with <Page-down> or CTRL-F keeps 2 lines from the
previous sceen at the top of the new screen.

z+ does the same keeping 0 line.

Is it possible to keep 1 line (as some other editors do by default).

Best regards.

I'm guessing about that "black bar below file1" -- I have no black bars,
and the highlighting rather strongly depends on what colorscheme you've
selected -- my guess is you're talking about the vertical spacing
between characters. That space is "owned" by some character cell, and
is not differentiable from the character. Alternative guess: you're
referring to the separator between windows. A click on the window
separator does have the effect you mention so long as the window isn't
full (pick a directory with enough files to fill the display and try
this); however, there's nothing that I can see that vim returns to let
me differentiate between a click on the window separator vs a click on
the file below the cursor.

You can, by the way, turn netrw mouse handling off (see :help
g:netrw_mousemaps).

close file but not the tab

1)
I would like to know if it is possible to close the last tab but keep
the empty tab without closing vim.

2)
I would also like to know if it is possible to reopen the last files
(the last tabs) when I reopen vim.

Tnx.

Don't know if its a bug, but it is documented.

From ":help :sign"
[quote]
Note that the ":sign" command cannot be followed by another command or a
comment. If you do need that, use the |:execute| command.
