I assume that you are talking about , command that is used to repeat
latest f, t, F or T in opposite direction (:help ,).

It's possible by providing non-recursive mappings for Normal,
Operator-pending and Visual modes

nnoremap . ,
onoremap . ,
xnoremap . ,

However, you may not want to shadow . command. It's used in normal mode
to repeat last change (:help .). For example, you can use double-tap
comma instead

nnoremap <Leader>, ,
onoremap <Leader>, ,
xnoremap <Leader>, ,

How to prevent vim asking to reload /dev/fd?

Hi,

After I run the following command (in MacVim),

vimdiff <(seq 3) <(seq 4)

then switch to another window and switch it back, vim will ask me something like this.

W11: Warning: File "/dev/fd/63" has changed since editing started
See ":help W11" for more info.
[O]K, (L)oad File, Load File (a)nd Options:

My ~/.vimrc has this line.

autocmd BufRead /dev/fd/* setlocal noautoread

If I remove it, vimdiff will automatically update the screen corresponding to /dev/fd/*, so the screen then will contain empty content.

How to completely disable vim from reload /dev/fd/* (not even asking anything)?

Re: would my config be used?

Ich changed this in my_config.vim there is the set relativenumber option. 

Am Sa., 21. Jan. 2023 um 16:16 Uhr schrieb Owajigbanam Ogbuluijah <xigbanam@gmail.com>:

Can you try adding set relativenumber to your configuration in ~/.vim_runtime? Does this work?

There's no place in amix/vimrc which explicitly sets or unsets relativenumber. But my guess is you can customize anything you want in your my_config.vim

Hi there, 

i want to use a vim-configuration, that should be on every maschine, i connect with. 

I use this here:

https://github.com/amix/vimrc

By creating a my_config.vim in main folder ~/.vim_runtime/ and configured a "real nice" config. There is an option be set with "set relativenumber" but this would be used, because i don't see it. I even don't see "set number". When i'm adding this in a running vim it worked perfect. 

So someone has an idea, why my config with this option wouldn't be set? I check the dependencies and all were setup right. 

Does someone of u has an idea?

Thanks and regards Sebastian

Note that what the OP wants (don't update " mark for non-modified
buffers) requires changing the code that writes .viminfo, which I think
is in the source, not the runtime.

If you change defaults.vim to use the . mark instead, the OP is going to
get very close to the behavior he wants (he may even like it better than
what he asked for), and no change to the Vim source is needed.

I suspect that most Vim users will prefer the . mark behavior over the
current behavior, but if not, they can easily get the old behavior back;
just leave the old BufReadPost as a comment in defaults.vim, and they
can copy it to their own vimrc.

I think this is the best solution all around.

I don't think we need another flag; just use the 'modified' option. I
think this is what the OP wants, and is simpler.

I also think Salman Halim's suggestion of using the . mark instead of the
" mark is more useful.
