📄 arabic.txt arabic.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 May 05 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Nadim Shaikli Arabic Language support (options & mappings) for Vim Arabic E800 In order to use right-to-left and Arabic mapping support, it is necessary to compile Vim with the \|+arabic\| feature. These functions have been created by Nadim Shaikli <nadim-at-arabeyes.org> It is best to view this file with these settings within Vim's GUI: > :set encoding=utf-8 :set arabicshape Introduction ------------ Arabic is a rather demanding language in which a number of special features are required. Characters are right-to-left oriented and ought to appear as such on the screen (i.e. from right to left). Arabic also requires shaping of its characters, meaning the same character has a different visual form based on its relative location within a word (initial, medial, final or stand-alone). Arabic also requires two different forms of combining and the ability, in certain instances, to either superimpose up to two characters on top of another (composing) or the actual substitution of two characters into one (combining). Lastly, to display Arabic properly one will require not only ISO-8859-6 (U+0600-U+06FF) fonts, but will also require Presentation Form-B (U+FE70-U+FEFF) fonts both of which are subsets within a so-called ISO-10646-1 font. The commands, prompts and help files are not in Arabic, therefore the user interface remains the standard Vi interface. Highlights ---------- o Editing left-to-right files as in the original Vim hasn't changed. o Viewing and editing files in right-to-left windows. File orientation is per window, so it is possible to view the same file in right-to-left and left-to-right modes, simultaneously. o No special terminal with right-to-left capabilities is required. The right-to-left changes are completely hardware independent. Only Arabic fonts are necessary. o Compatible with the original Vim. Almost all features work in right-to-left mode (there are liable to be bugs). o Changing keyboard mapping and reverse insert modes using a single command. o Toggling complete Arabic support via a single command. o While in Arabic mode, numbers are entered from left to right. Upon entering a none number character, that character will be inserted just into the left of the last number. o Arabic keymapping on the command line in reverse insert mode. o Proper Bidirectional functionality is possible given Vim is started within a Bidi capable terminal emulator. Arabic Fonts arabicfonts ------------ Vim requires monospaced fonts of which there are many out there. Arabic requires ISO-8859-6 as well as Presentation Form-B fonts (without Form-B, Arabic will _NOT_ be usable). It is highly recommended that users search for so-called 'ISO-10646-1' fonts. Do an Internet search or check www.arabeyes.org for further info on where to obtain the necessary Arabic fonts. Font Installation ----------------- o Installation of fonts for X Window systems (Unix/Linux) Depending on your system, copy your_ARABIC_FONT file into a directory of your choice. Change to the directory containing the Arabic fonts and execute the following commands: % mkfontdir % xset +fp path_name_of_arabic_fonts_directory Usage ----- Prior to the actual usage of Arabic within Vim, a number of settings need to be accounted for and invoked. o Setting the Arabic fonts + For Vim GUI set the 'guifont' to your_ARABIC_FONT. This is done by entering the following command in the Vim window. > :set guifont=your_ARABIC_FONT < NOTE: the string 'your_ARABIC_FONT' is used to denote a complete font name akin to that used in Linux/Unix systems. (e.g. -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1) You can append the 'guifont' set command to your .vimrc file in order to get the same above noted results. In other words, you can include ':set guifont=your_ARABIC_FONT' to your .vimrc file. + Under the X Window environment, you can also start Vim with '-fn your_ARABIC_FONT' option. o Setting the appropriate character Encoding To enable the correct Arabic encoding the following command needs to be appended, > :set encoding=utf-8 < to your .vimrc file (entering the command manually into your Vim window is highly discouraged). In short, include ':set encoding=utf-8' to your .vimrc file. Attempts to use Arabic without UTF-8 will result the following warning message, W17 > Arabic requires UTF-8, do ':set encoding=utf-8' o Enable Arabic settings [short-cut] In order to simplify and streamline things, you can either invoke Vim with the command-line option, % vim -A my_utf8_arabic_file ... or enable 'arabic' via the following command within Vim > :set arabic < The two above noted possible invocations are the preferred manner in which users are instructed to proceed. Barring an enabled 'termbidi' setting, both command options: 1. set the appropriate keymap 2. enable the deletion of a single combined pair character 3. enable rightleft mode 4. enable rightleftcmd mode (affecting the command-line) 5. enable arabicshape mode (do visual character alterations) You may also append the command to your .vimrc file and simply include ':set arabic' to it. You are also capable of disabling Arabic support via > :set noarabic < which resets everything that the command had enabled without touching the global settings as they could affect other possible open buffers. In short the 'noarabic' command, 1. resets to the alternate keymap 2. disables the deletion of a single combined pair character 3. disables rightleft mode NOTE: the 'arabic' command takes into consideration 'termbidi' for possible external bi-directional (bidi) support from the terminal ("mlterm" for instance offers such support). 'termbidi', if available, is superior to rightleft support and its support is preferred due to its level of offerings. 'arabic' when 'termbidi' is enabled only sets the keymap. If, on the other hand, you'd like to be verbose and explicit and are opting not to use the 'arabic' short-cut command, here's what is needed (i.e. if you use ':set arabic' you can skip this section) - + Arabic Keymapping Activation To activate the Arabic keymap (i.e. to remap your English/Latin keyboard to look-n-feel like a standard Arabic one), set the 'keymap' command to "arabic". This is done by entering > :set keymap=arabic < in your Vim window. You can also append the 'keymap' set command to your .vimrc file. In other words, you can include ':set keymap=arabic' to your .vimrc file. To turn toggle (or switch) your keymapping between Arabic and the default mapping (English), it is advised that users use the 'CTRL-^' key press while in insert (or add/replace) mode. The command-line will display your current mapping by displaying an "Arabic" string next to your insertion mode (e.g. -- INSERT Arabic --) indicating your current keymap. + Arabic deletion of a combined pair character By default Vim has the 'delcombine' option disabled. This option allows the deletion of ALEF in a LAM_ALEF (LAA) combined character and still retain the LAM (i.e. it reverts to treating the combined character as its natural two characters form -- this also pertains to harakat and their combined forms). You can enable this option by entering > :set delcombine < in our Vim window. You can also append the 'delcombine' set command to your .vimrc file. In other words, you can include ':set delcombine' to your .vimrc file. + Arabic right-to-left Mode By default Vim starts in Left-to-right mode. 'rightleft' is the command that allows one to alter a window's orientation - that can be accomplished via, - Toggling between left-to-right and right-to-left modes is accomplished through ':set rightleft' and ':set norightleft'. - While in Left-to-right mode, enter ':set rl' in the command line ('rl' is the abbreviation for rightleft). - Put the ':set rl' line in your '.vimrc' file to start Vim in right-to-left mode permanently. + Arabic right-to-left command-line Mode For certain commands the editing can be done in right-to-left mode. Currently this is only applicable to search commands. This is controlled with the 'rightleftcmd' option. The default is "search", which means that windows in which 'rightleft' is set will edit search commands in right-left mode. To disable this behavior, > :set rightleftcmd= < To enable right-left editing of search commands again, > :set rightleftcmd& < + Arabic Shaping Mode To activate the required visual characters alterations (shaping, composing, combining) which the Arabic language requires, enable the 'arabicshape' command. This is done by entering > :set arabicshape < in our Vim window. You can also append the 'arabicshape' set command to your .vimrc file. In other words, you can include ':set arabicshape' to your .vimrc file. Keymap/Keyboard arabickeymap --------------- The character/letter encoding used in Vim is the standard UTF-8. It is widely discouraged that any other encoding be used or even attempted. Note: UTF-8 is an all encompassing encoding and as such is the only supported (and encouraged) encoding with regard to Arabic (all other proprietary encodings should be discouraged and frowned upon). o Keyboard + CTRL-^ in insert/replace mode toggles between Arabic/Latin mode + Keyboard mapping is based on the Microsoft's Arabic keymap (the de facto standard in the Arab world): +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ \|! \|@ \|# \|$ \|% \|^ \|& \|* \|( \|) \|_ \|+ \|\| \|~ ّ \| \|1 ١ \|2 ٢ \|3 ٣ \|4 ٤ \|5 ٥ \|6 ٦ \|7 ٧ \|8 ٨ \|9 ٩ \|0 ٠ \|- \|= \|\ \|` ذ \| +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ \|Q َ \|W ً \|E ُ \|R ٌ \|T لإ \|Y إ \|U ` \|I ÷ \|O x \|P ؛ \|{ < \|} > \| \|q ض \|w ص \|e ث \|r ق \|t ف \|y غ \|u ع \|i ه \|o خ \|p ح \|[ ج \|] د \| +-----------------------------------------------------------+ \|A ِ \|S ٍ \|D [ \|F ] \|G لأ \|H أ \|J ـ \|K ، \|L / \|: \|" \| \|a ش \|s س \|d ي \|f ب \|g ل \|h ا \|j ت \|k ن \|l م \|; ك \|' ط \| +------------------------------------------------------+ \|Z ~ \|X ْ \|C { \|V } \|B لآ \|N آ \|M ' \|< , \|> . \|? ؟ \| \|z ئ \|x ء \|c ؤ \|v ر \|b لا \|n ى \|m ة \|, و \|. ز \|/ ظ \| +-------------------------------------------------+ Restrictions ------------ o Vim in its GUI form does not currently support Bi-directionality (i.e. the ability to see both Arabic and Latin intermixed within the same line). Known Bugs ---------- There is one known minor bug, 1. If you insert a haraka (e.g. Fatha (U+064E)) after a LAM (U+0644) and then insert an ALEF (U+0627), the appropriate combining will not happen due to the sandwiched haraka resulting in something that will NOT be displayed correctly. WORK-AROUND: Don't include harakats between LAM and ALEF combos. In general, don't anticipate to see correct visual representation with regard to harakats and LAM+ALEF combined characters (even those entered after both characters). The problem noted is strictly a visual one, meaning saving such a file will contain all the appropriate info/encodings - nothing is lost. No other bugs are known to exist. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	11.62 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 autocmd.txt autocmd.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Jan 28 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Automatic commands autocommand autocommands For a basic explanation, see section \|40.3\| in the user manual. 1. Introduction \|autocmd-intro\| 2. Defining autocommands \|autocmd-define\| 3. Removing autocommands \|autocmd-remove\| 4. Listing autocommands \|autocmd-list\| 5. Events \|autocmd-events\| 6. Patterns \|autocmd-patterns\| 7. Buffer-local autocommands \|autocmd-buflocal\| 8. Groups \|autocmd-groups\| 9. Executing autocommands \|autocmd-execute\| 10. Using autocommands \|autocmd-use\| 11. Disabling autocommands \|autocmd-disable\| ============================================================================== 1. Introduction autocmd-intro You can specify commands to be executed automatically when reading or writing a file, when entering or leaving a buffer or window, and when exiting Vim. For example, you can create an autocommand to set the 'cindent' option for files matching .c. You can also use autocommands to implement advanced features, such as editing compressed files (see \|gzip-example\|). The usual place to put autocommands is in your .vimrc or .exrc file. E203* E204 E143 E855 E937 E952 WARNING: Using autocommands is very powerful, and may lead to unexpected side effects. Be careful not to destroy your text. - It's a good idea to do some testing on an expendable copy of a file first. For example: If you use autocommands to decompress a file when starting to edit it, make sure that the autocommands for compressing when writing work correctly. - Be prepared for an error halfway through (e.g., disk full). Vim will mostly be able to undo the changes to the buffer, but you may have to clean up the changes to other files by hand (e.g., compress a file that has been decompressed). - If the BufRead* events allow you to edit a compressed file, the FileRead* events should do the same (this makes recovery possible in some rare cases). It's a good idea to use the same autocommands for the File* and Buf* events when possible. ============================================================================== 2. Defining autocommands autocmd-define :au :autocmd :au[tocmd] [group] {event} {pat} [++once] [++nested] {cmd} Add {cmd} to the list of commands that Vim will execute automatically on {event} for a file matching {pat} \|autocmd-patterns\|. Here {event} cannot be "". E1155* Note: A quote character is seen as argument to the :autocmd and won't start a comment. Vim always adds the {cmd} after existing autocommands, so that the autocommands execute in the order in which they were given. See \|autocmd-nested\| for [++nested]. "nested" (without the ++) can also be used, for backwards compatibility. autocmd-once If [++once] is supplied the command is executed once, then removed ("one shot"). The special pattern <buffer> or <buffer=N> defines a buffer-local autocommand. See \|autocmd-buflocal\|. If the `:autocmd` is in Vim9 script (a script that starts with `:vim9script` and in a `:def` function) then {cmd} will be executed as in Vim9 script. Thus this depends on where the autocmd is defined, not where it is triggered. Note: The ":autocmd" command can only be followed by another command when the '\|' appears before {cmd}. This works: > :augroup mine \| au! BufRead \| augroup END But this sees "augroup" as part of the defined command: > :augroup mine \| au! BufRead * \| augroup END :augroup mine \| au BufRead * set tw=70 \| augroup END Instead you can put the group name into the command: > :au! mine BufRead * :au mine BufRead * set tw=70 Or use `:execute`: > :augroup mine \| exe "au! BufRead " \| augroup END :augroup mine \| exe "au BufRead set tw=70" \| augroup END Note that special characters (e.g., "%", "<cword>") in the ":autocmd" arguments are not expanded when the autocommand is defined. These will be expanded when the Event is recognized, and the {cmd} is executed. The only exception is that "<sfile>" is expanded when the autocmd is defined. Example: > :au BufNewFile,BufRead .html so <sfile>:h/html.vim Here Vim expands <sfile> to the name of the file containing this line. `:autocmd` adds to the list of autocommands regardless of whether they are already present. When your .vimrc file is sourced twice, the autocommands will appear twice. To avoid this, define your autocommands in a group, so that you can easily clear them: > augroup vimrc " Remove all vimrc autocommands autocmd! au BufNewFile,BufRead .html so <sfile>:h/html.vim augroup END If you don't want to remove all autocommands, you can instead use a variable to ensure that Vim includes the autocommands only once: > :if !exists("autocommands_loaded") : let autocommands_loaded = 1 : au ... :endif When the [group] argument is not given, Vim uses the current group (as defined with ":augroup"); otherwise, Vim uses the group defined with [group]. Note that [group] must have been defined before. You cannot define a new group with ":au group ..."; use ":augroup" for that. While testing autocommands, you might find the 'verbose' option to be useful: > :set verbose=9 This setting makes Vim echo the autocommands as it executes them. When defining an autocommand in a script, it will be able to call functions local to the script and use mappings local to the script. When the event is triggered and the command executed, it will run in the context of the script it was defined in. This matters if \|<SID>\| is used in a command. When executing the commands, the message from one command overwrites a previous message. This is different from when executing the commands manually. Mostly the screen will not scroll up, thus there is no hit-enter prompt. When one command outputs two messages this can happen anyway. ============================================================================== 3. Removing autocommands autocmd-remove :au[tocmd]! [group] {event} {pat} [++once] [++nested] {cmd} Remove all autocommands associated with {event} and {pat}, and add the command {cmd}. See \|autocmd-once\| for [++once]. See \|autocmd-nested\| for [++nested]. :au[tocmd]! [group] {event} {pat} Remove all autocommands associated with {event} and {pat}. :au[tocmd]! [group] * {pat} Remove all autocommands associated with {pat} for all events. :au[tocmd]! [group] {event} Remove ALL autocommands for {event}. Warning: You should not do this without a group for \|BufRead\| and other common events, it can break plugins, syntax highlighting, etc. :au[tocmd]! [group] Remove ALL autocommands. Note: a quote will be seen as argument to the :autocmd and won't start a comment. Warning: You should normally not do this without a group, it breaks plugins, syntax highlighting, etc. When the [group] argument is not given, Vim uses the current group (as defined with ":augroup"); otherwise, Vim uses the group defined with [group]. ============================================================================== 4. Listing autocommands autocmd-list :au[tocmd] [group] {event} {pat} Show the autocommands associated with {event} and {pat}. :au[tocmd] [group] * {pat} Show the autocommands associated with {pat} for all events. :au[tocmd] [group] {event} Show all autocommands for {event}. :au[tocmd] [group] Show all autocommands. If you provide the [group] argument, Vim lists only the autocommands for [group]; otherwise, Vim lists the autocommands for ALL groups. Note that this argument behavior differs from that for defining and removing autocommands. In order to list buffer-local autocommands, use a pattern in the form <buffer> or <buffer=N>. See \|autocmd-buflocal\|. :autocmd-verbose When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing an autocommand will also display where it was last defined. Example: > :verbose autocmd BufEnter FileExplorer BufEnter * call s:LocalBrowse(expand("<amatch>")) Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim-7.0/plugin/NetrwPlugin.vim < See \|:verbose-cmd\| for more information. ============================================================================== 5. Events autocmd-events E215 E216 You can specify a comma-separated list of event names. No white space can be used in this list. The command applies to all the events in the list. For READING FILES there are four kinds of events possible: BufNewFile starting to edit a non-existent file BufReadPre BufReadPost starting to edit an existing file FilterReadPre FilterReadPost read the temp file with filter output FileReadPre FileReadPost any other file read Vim uses only one of these four kinds when reading a file. The "Pre" and "Post" events are both triggered, before and after reading the file. Note that the autocommands for the ReadPre events and all the Filter events are not allowed to change the current buffer (you will get an error message if this happens). This is to prevent the file to be read into the wrong buffer. Note that the 'modified' flag is reset AFTER executing the BufReadPost and BufNewFile autocommands. But when the 'modified' option was set by the autocommands, this doesn't happen. You can use the 'eventignore' option to ignore a number of events or all events. autocommand-events* {event} Vim recognizes the following events. Vim ignores the case of event names (e.g., you can use "BUFread" or "bufread" instead of "BufRead"). First an overview by function with a short explanation.

alphabetical list of autocommand events: autocmd-events-abc BufCreate BufAdd BufAdd or BufCreate Just after creating a new buffer which is added to the buffer list, or adding a buffer to the buffer list. Also used just after a buffer in the buffer list has been renamed. Not triggered for the initial buffers created during startup. The BufCreate event is for historic reasons. NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the current buffer "%" may be different from the buffer being created "<afile>". BufDelete BufDelete Before deleting a buffer from the buffer list. The BufUnload may be called first (if the buffer was loaded). Also used just before a buffer in the buffer list is renamed. NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the current buffer "%" may be different from the buffer being deleted "<afile>" and "<abuf>". Don't change to another buffer, it will cause problems. BufEnter BufEnter After entering a buffer. Useful for setting options for a file type. Also executed when starting to edit a buffer, after the BufReadPost autocommands. BufFilePost BufFilePost After changing the name of the current buffer with the ":file" or ":saveas" command. BufFilePre BufFilePre Before changing the name of the current buffer with the ":file" or ":saveas" command. BufHidden BufHidden Just before a buffer becomes hidden. That is, when there are no longer windows that show the buffer, but the buffer is not unloaded or deleted. Not used for ":qa" or ":q" when exiting Vim. NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the current buffer "%" may be different from the buffer being unloaded "<afile>". BufLeave BufLeave Before leaving to another buffer. Also when leaving or closing the current window and the new current window is not for the same buffer. Not used for ":qa" or ":q" when exiting Vim. BufNew BufNew Just after creating a new buffer. Also used just after a buffer has been renamed. When the buffer is added to the buffer list BufAdd will be triggered too. NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the current buffer "%" may be different from the buffer being created "<afile>". BufNewFile BufNewFile When starting to edit a file that doesn't exist. Can be used to read in a skeleton file. BufRead BufReadPost BufRead or BufReadPost When starting to edit a new buffer, after reading the file into the buffer, before executing the modelines. See \|BufWinEnter\| for when you need to do something after processing the modelines. This does NOT work for ":r file". Not used when the file doesn't exist. Also used after successfully recovering a file. Also triggered for the filetypedetect group when executing ":filetype detect" and when writing an unnamed buffer in a way that the buffer gets a name. BufReadCmd BufReadCmd Before starting to edit a new buffer. Should read the file into the buffer. \|Cmd-event\| BufReadPre E200 E201 BufReadPre When starting to edit a new buffer, before reading the file into the buffer. Not used if the file doesn't exist. BufUnload BufUnload Before unloading a buffer. This is when the text in the buffer is going to be freed. This may be after a BufWritePost and before a BufDelete. Also used for all buffers that are loaded when Vim is going to exit. NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the current buffer "%" may be different from the buffer being unloaded "<afile>". Don't change to another buffer or window, it will cause problems! When exiting and v:dying is 2 or more this event is not triggered. BufWinEnter BufWinEnter After a buffer is displayed in a window. This can be when the buffer is loaded (after processing the modelines) or when a hidden buffer is displayed in a window (and is no longer hidden). Does not happen for \|:split\| without arguments, since you keep editing the same buffer, or ":split" with a file that's already open in a window, because it re-uses an existing buffer. But it does happen for a ":split" with the name of the current buffer, since it reloads that buffer. Does not happen for a terminal window, because it starts in Terminal-Job mode and Normal mode commands won't work. Use \|TerminalOpen\| instead. BufWinLeave BufWinLeave Before a buffer is removed from a window. Not when it's still visible in another window. Also triggered when exiting. It's triggered before BufUnload or BufHidden. NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the current buffer "%" may be different from the buffer being unloaded "<afile>". When exiting and v:dying is 2 or more this event is not triggered. BufWipeout BufWipeout Before completely deleting a buffer. The BufUnload and BufDelete events may be called first (if the buffer was loaded and was in the buffer list). Also used just before a buffer is renamed (also when it's not in the buffer list). NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the current buffer "%" may be different from the buffer being deleted "<afile>". Don't change to another buffer, it will cause problems. BufWrite BufWritePre BufWrite or BufWritePre Before writing the whole buffer to a file. BufWriteCmd BufWriteCmd Before writing the whole buffer to a file. Should do the writing of the file and reset 'modified' if successful, unless '+' is in 'cpo' and writing to another file \|cpo-+\|. The buffer contents should not be changed. When the command resets 'modified' the undo information is adjusted to mark older undo states as 'modified', like \|:write\| does. \|Cmd-event\| BufWritePost BufWritePost After writing the whole buffer to a file (should undo the commands for BufWritePre). CmdUndefined CmdUndefined When a user command is used but it isn't defined. Useful for defining a command only when it's used. The pattern is matched against the command name. Both <amatch> and <afile> are set to the name of the command. NOTE: Autocompletion won't work until the command is defined. An alternative is to always define the user command and have it invoke an autoloaded function. See \|autoload\|. CmdlineChanged CmdlineChanged After a change was made to the text in the command line. Be careful not to mess up the command line, it may cause Vim to lock up. <afile> is set to a single character, indicating the type of command-line. \|cmdwin-char\| CmdlineEnter CmdlineEnter After moving the cursor to the command line, where the user can type a command or search string; including non-interactive use of ":" in a mapping, but not when using \|<Cmd>\|. <afile> is set to a single character, indicating the type of command-line. \|cmdwin-char\| CmdlineLeave CmdlineLeave Before leaving the command line; including non-interactive use of ":" in a mapping, but not when using \|<Cmd>\|. Also when abandoning the command line, after typing CTRL-C or <Esc>. When the commands result in an error the command line is still executed. <afile> is set to a single character, indicating the type of command-line. \|cmdwin-char\| CmdwinEnter CmdwinEnter After entering the command-line window. Useful for setting options specifically for this special type of window. <afile> is set to a single character, indicating the type of command-line. \|cmdwin-char\| CmdwinLeave CmdwinLeave Before leaving the command-line window. Useful to clean up any global setting done with CmdwinEnter. <afile> is set to a single character, indicating the type of command-line. \|cmdwin-char\| ColorScheme ColorScheme After loading a color scheme. \|:colorscheme\| The pattern is matched against the colorscheme name. <afile> can be used for the name of the actual file where this option was set, and <amatch> for the new colorscheme name. ColorSchemePre ColorSchemePre Before loading a color scheme. \|:colorscheme\| Useful to setup removing things added by a color scheme, before another one is loaded. CompleteChanged CompleteChanged After each time the Insert mode completion menu changed. Not fired on popup menu hide, use \|CompleteDonePre\| or \|CompleteDone\| for that. Never triggered recursively. Sets these \|v:event\| keys: completed_item See \|complete-items\|. height nr of items visible width screen cells row top screen row col leftmost screen column size total nr of items scrollbar TRUE if visible It is not allowed to change the text \|textlock\|. The size and position of the popup are also available by calling \|pum_getpos()\|. CompleteDonePre CompleteDonePre After Insert mode completion is done. Either when something was completed or abandoning completion. \|ins-completion\| \|complete_info()\| can be used, the info is cleared after triggering CompleteDonePre. The \|v:completed_item\| variable contains information about the completed item. CompleteDone CompleteDone After Insert mode completion is done. Either when something was completed or abandoning completion. \|ins-completion\| \|complete_info()\| cannot be used, the info is cleared before triggering CompleteDone. Use CompleteDonePre if you need it. The \|v:completed_item\| variable contains information about the completed item. CursorHold CursorHold When the user doesn't press a key for the time specified with 'updatetime'. Not triggered until the user has pressed a key (i.e. doesn't fire every 'updatetime' ms if you leave Vim to make some coffee. :) See \|CursorHold-example\| for previewing tags. This event is only triggered in Normal mode. It is not triggered when waiting for a command argument to be typed, or a movement after an operator. While recording the CursorHold event is not triggered. \|q\| <CursorHold> Internally the autocommand is triggered by the <CursorHold> key. In an expression mapping \|getchar()\| may see this character. Note: Interactive commands cannot be used for this event. There is no hit-enter prompt, the screen is updated directly (when needed). Note: In the future there will probably be another option to set the time. Hint: to force an update of the status lines use: > :let &ro = &ro < {only on Amiga, Unix, Win32 and all GUI versions} CursorHoldI CursorHoldI Just like CursorHold, but in Insert mode. Not triggered when waiting for another key, e.g. after CTRL-V, and not when in CTRL-X mode \|insert_expand\|. CursorMoved CursorMoved After the cursor was moved in Normal or Visual mode. Also when the text of the cursor line has been changed, e.g., with "x", "rx" or "p". Not triggered when there is typeahead or when an operator is pending. For an example see \|match-parens\|. Note: This can not be skipped with `:noautocmd`. Careful: This is triggered very often, don't do anything that the user does not expect or that is slow. CursorMovedI CursorMovedI After the cursor was moved in Insert mode. Not triggered when the popup menu is visible. Otherwise the same as CursorMoved. EncodingChanged EncodingChanged Fires off after the 'encoding' option has been changed. Useful to set up fonts, for example. FileAppendCmd FileAppendCmd Before appending to a file. Should do the appending to the file. Use the '[ and '] marks for the range of lines.\|Cmd-event\| FileAppendPost FileAppendPost After appending to a file. FileAppendPre FileAppendPre Before appending to a file. Use the '[ and '] marks for the range of lines. FileChangedRO FileChangedRO Before making the first change to a read-only file. Can be used to check-out the file from a source control system. Not triggered when the change was caused by an autocommand. This event is triggered when making the first change in a buffer or the first change after 'readonly' was set, just before the change is applied to the text. WARNING: If the autocommand moves the cursor the effect of the change is undefined. E788 It is not allowed to change to another buffer here. You can reload the buffer but not edit another one. E881 If the number of lines changes saving for undo may fail and the change will be aborted. DiffUpdated DiffUpdated After diffs have been updated. Depending on what kind of diff is being used (internal or external) this can be triggered on every change or when doing \|:diffupdate\|. DirChanged DirChanged The working directory has changed in response to the \|:cd\| or \|:tcd\| or \|:lcd\| commands, or as a result of the 'autochdir' option. The pattern can be: "window" to trigger on `:lcd` "tabpage" to trigger on `:tcd` "global" to trigger on `:cd` "auto" to trigger on 'autochdir'. "drop" to trigger on editing a file <afile> is set to the new directory name. ExitPre ExitPre When using `:quit`, `:wq` in a way it makes Vim exit, or using `:qall`, just after \|QuitPre\|. Can be used to close any non-essential window. Exiting may still be cancelled if there is a modified buffer that isn't automatically saved, use \|VimLeavePre\| for really exiting. FileChangedShell FileChangedShell When Vim notices that the modification time of a file has changed since editing started. Also when the file attributes of the file change or when the size of the file changes. \|timestamp\| Mostly triggered after executing a shell command, but also with a \|:checktime\| command or when gvim regains input focus. This autocommand is triggered for each changed file. It is not used when 'autoread' is set and the buffer was not changed. If a FileChangedShell autocommand is present the warning message and prompt is not given. The \|v:fcs_reason\| variable is set to indicate what happened and \|v:fcs_choice\| can be used to tell Vim what to do next. NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the current buffer "%" may be different from the buffer that was changed, which is in "<afile>". NOTE: The commands must not change the current buffer, jump to another buffer or delete a buffer. E246 E811 NOTE: This event never nests, to avoid an endless loop. This means that while executing commands for the FileChangedShell event no other FileChangedShell event will be triggered. FileChangedShellPost FileChangedShellPost After handling a file that was changed outside of Vim. Can be used to update the statusline. FileEncoding FileEncoding Obsolete. It still works and is equivalent to \|EncodingChanged\|. FileReadCmd FileReadCmd Before reading a file with a ":read" command. Should do the reading of the file. \|Cmd-event\| FileReadPost FileReadPost After reading a file with a ":read" command. Note that Vim sets the '[ and '] marks to the first and last line of the read. This can be used to operate on the lines just read. FileReadPre FileReadPre Before reading a file with a ":read" command. FileType FileType When the 'filetype' option has been set. The pattern is matched against the filetype. <afile> can be used for the name of the file where this option was set, and <amatch> for the new value of 'filetype'. Navigating to another window or buffer is not allowed. See \|filetypes\|. FileWriteCmd FileWriteCmd Before writing to a file, when not writing the whole buffer. Should do the writing to the file. Should not change the buffer. Use the '[ and '] marks for the range of lines. \|Cmd-event\| FileWritePost FileWritePost After writing to a file, when not writing the whole buffer. FileWritePre FileWritePre Before writing to a file, when not writing the whole buffer. Use the '[ and '] marks for the range of lines. FilterReadPost FilterReadPost After reading a file from a filter command. Vim checks the pattern against the name of the current buffer as with FilterReadPre. Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. FilterReadPre E135 FilterReadPre Before reading a file from a filter command. Vim checks the pattern against the name of the current buffer, not the name of the temporary file that is the output of the filter command. Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. FilterWritePost FilterWritePost After writing a file for a filter command or making a diff with an external diff (see DiffUpdated for internal diff). Vim checks the pattern against the name of the current buffer as with FilterWritePre. Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. FilterWritePre FilterWritePre Before writing a file for a filter command or making a diff with an external diff. Vim checks the pattern against the name of the current buffer, not the name of the temporary file that is the output of the filter command. Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. FocusGained FocusGained When Vim got input focus. Only for the GUI version and a few console versions where this can be detected. FocusLost FocusLost When Vim lost input focus. Only for the GUI version and a few console versions where this can be detected. May also happen when a dialog pops up. FuncUndefined FuncUndefined When a user function is used but it isn't defined. Useful for defining a function only when it's used. The pattern is matched against the function name. Both <amatch> and <afile> are set to the name of the function. Not triggered when compiling a \|Vim9\| function. NOTE: When writing Vim scripts a better alternative is to use an autoloaded function. See \|autoload-functions\|. GUIEnter GUIEnter After starting the GUI successfully, and after opening the window. It is triggered before VimEnter when using gvim. Can be used to position the window from a .gvimrc file: > :autocmd GUIEnter * winpos 100 50 < GUIFailed GUIFailed After starting the GUI failed. Vim may continue to run in the terminal, if possible (only on Unix and alikes, when connecting the X server fails). You may want to quit Vim: > :autocmd GUIFailed * qall < InsertChange InsertChange When typing <Insert> while in Insert or Replace mode. The \|v:insertmode\| variable indicates the new mode. Be careful not to move the cursor or do anything else that the user does not expect. InsertCharPre InsertCharPre When a character is typed in Insert mode, before inserting the char. The \|v:char\| variable indicates the char typed and can be changed during the event to insert a different character. When \|v:char\| is set to more than one character this text is inserted literally. It is not allowed to change the text \|textlock\|. The event is not triggered when 'paste' is set. {only with the +eval feature} InsertEnter InsertEnter Just before starting Insert mode. Also for Replace mode and Virtual Replace mode. The \|v:insertmode\| variable indicates the mode. Be careful not to do anything else that the user does not expect. The cursor is restored afterwards. If you do not want that set \|v:char\| to a non-empty string. InsertLeavePre InsertLeavePre Just before leaving Insert mode. Also when using CTRL-O \|i_CTRL-O\|. Be careful not to change mode or use `:normal`, it will likely cause trouble. InsertLeave InsertLeave Just after leaving Insert mode. Also when using CTRL-O \|i_CTRL-O\|. But not for \|i_CTRL-C\|. MenuPopup MenuPopup Just before showing the popup menu (under the right mouse button). Useful for adjusting the menu for what is under the cursor or mouse pointer. The pattern is matched against one or two characters representing the mode: n Normal v Visual o Operator-pending i Insert c Command line tl Terminal OptionSet OptionSet After setting an option. The pattern is matched against the long option name. \|<amatch>\| indicates what option has been set. \|v:option_type\| indicates whether it's global or local scoped. \|v:option_command\| indicates what type of set/let command was used (follow the tag to see the table). \|v:option_new\| indicates the newly set value. \|v:option_oldlocal\| has the old local value. \|v:option_oldglobal\| has the old global value. \|v:option_old\| indicates the old option value. \|v:option_oldlocal\| is only set when \|:set\| or \|:setlocal\| or a \|modeline\| was used to set the option. Similarly \|v:option_oldglobal\| is only set when \|:set\| or \|:setglobal\| was used. Note that when setting a \|global-local\| string option with \|:set\|, then \|v:option_old\| is the old global value. However, for all other kinds of options (local string options, global-local number options, ...) it is the old local value. OptionSet is not triggered on startup and for the 'key' option for obvious reasons. Usage example: Check for the existence of the directory in the 'backupdir' and 'undodir' options, create the directory if it doesn't exist yet. Note: It's a bad idea to reset an option during this autocommand, this may break a plugin. You can always use `:noa` to prevent triggering this autocommand. When using \|:set\| in the autocommand the event is not triggered again. QuickFixCmdPre QuickFixCmdPre Before a quickfix command is run (\|:make\|, \|:lmake\|, \|:grep\|, \|:lgrep\|, \|:grepadd\|, \|:lgrepadd\|, \|:vimgrep\|, \|:lvimgrep\|, \|:vimgrepadd\|, \|:lvimgrepadd\|, \|:cscope\|, \|:cfile\|, \|:cgetfile\|, \|:caddfile\|, \|:lfile\|, \|:lgetfile\|, \|:laddfile\|, \|:helpgrep\|, \|:lhelpgrep\|, \|:cexpr\|, \|:cgetexpr\|, \|:caddexpr\|, \|:cbuffer\|, \|:cgetbuffer\|, \|:caddbuffer\|). The pattern is matched against the command being run. When \|:grep\| is used but 'grepprg' is set to "internal" it still matches "grep". This command cannot be used to set the 'makeprg' and 'grepprg' variables. If this command causes an error, the quickfix command is not executed. QuickFixCmdPost QuickFixCmdPost Like QuickFixCmdPre, but after a quickfix command is run, before jumping to the first location. For \|:cfile\| and \|:lfile\| commands it is run after error file is read and before moving to the first error. See \|QuickFixCmdPost-example\|. QuitPre QuitPre When using `:quit`, `:wq` or `:qall`, before deciding whether it closes the current window or quits Vim. Can be used to close any non-essential window if the current window is the last ordinary window. Also see \|ExitPre\|. RemoteReply RemoteReply When a reply from a Vim that functions as server was received \|server2client()\|. The pattern is matched against the {serverid}. <amatch> is equal to the {serverid} from which the reply was sent, and <afile> is the actual reply string. Note that even if an autocommand is defined, the reply should be read with \|remote_read()\| to consume it. SafeState SafeState When nothing is pending, going to wait for the user to type a character. This will not be triggered when: - an operator is pending - a register was entered with "r - halfway executing a command - executing a mapping - there is typeahead - Insert mode completion is active - Command line completion is active You can use `mode()` to find out what state Vim is in. That may be: - VIsual mode - Normal mode - Insert mode - Command-line mode Depending on what you want to do, you may also check more with `state()`, e.g. whether the screen was scrolled for messages. SafeStateAgain SafeStateAgain Like SafeState but after processing any messages and invoking callbacks. This may be triggered often, don't do something that takes time. SessionLoadPost SessionLoadPost After loading the session file created using the \|:mksession\| command. ShellCmdPost ShellCmdPost After executing a shell command with \|:!cmd\|, \|:shell\|, \|:make\| and \|:grep\|. Can be used to check for any changed files. ShellFilterPost ShellFilterPost After executing a shell command with ":{range}!cmd", ":w !cmd" or ":r !cmd". Can be used to check for any changed files. SourcePre SourcePre Before sourcing a Vim script. \|:source\| <afile> is the name of the file being sourced. SourcePost SourcePost After sourcing a Vim script. \|:source\| <afile> is the name of the file being sourced. Not triggered when sourcing was interrupted. Also triggered after a SourceCmd autocommand was triggered. SourceCmd SourceCmd When sourcing a Vim script. \|:source\| <afile> is the name of the file being sourced. The autocommand must source this file. \|Cmd-event\| SpellFileMissing SpellFileMissing When trying to load a spell checking file and it can't be found. The pattern is matched against the language. <amatch> is the language, 'encoding' also matters. See \|spell-SpellFileMissing\|. StdinReadPost StdinReadPost After reading from the stdin into the buffer, before executing the modelines. Only used when the "-" argument was used when Vim was started \|--\|. StdinReadPre StdinReadPre Before reading from stdin into the buffer. Only used when the "-" argument was used when Vim was started \|--\|. SwapExists SwapExists Detected an existing swap file when starting to edit a file. Only when it is possible to select a way to handle the situation, when Vim would ask the user what to do. The \|v:swapname\| variable holds the name of the swap file found, <afile> the file being edited. \|v:swapcommand\| may contain a command to be executed in the opened file. The commands should set the \|v:swapchoice\| variable to a string with one character to tell Vim what should be done next: 'o' open read-only 'e' edit the file anyway 'r' recover 'd' delete the swap file 'q' quit, don't edit the file 'a' abort, like hitting CTRL-C When set to an empty string the user will be asked, as if there was no SwapExists autocmd. E812 It is not allowed to change to another buffer, change a buffer name or change directory here. {only available with the +eval feature} Syntax Syntax When the 'syntax' option has been set. The pattern is matched against the syntax name. <afile> can be used for the name of the file where this option was set, and <amatch> for the new value of 'syntax'. See \|:syn-on\|. TabClosed TabClosed After closing a tab page. TabEnter TabEnter Just after entering a tab page. \|tab-page\| After triggering the WinEnter and before triggering the BufEnter event. TabLeave TabLeave Just before leaving a tab page. \|tab-page\| A WinLeave event will have been triggered first. TabNew TabNew When a tab page was created. \|tab-page\| A WinEnter event will have been triggered first, TabEnter follows. TermChanged TermChanged After the value of 'term' has changed. Useful for re-loading the syntax file to update the colors, fonts and other terminal-dependent settings. Executed for all loaded buffers. TerminalOpen TerminalOpen Just after a terminal buffer was created, with `:terminal` or \|term_start()\|. This event is triggered even if the buffer is created without a window, with the ++hidden option. TerminalWinOpen TerminalWinOpen Just after a terminal buffer was created, with `:terminal` or \|term_start()\|. This event is triggered only if the buffer is created with a window. Can be used to set window local options for the terminal window. TermResponse TermResponse After the response to \|t_RV\| is received from the terminal. The value of \|v:termresponse\| can be used to do things depending on the terminal version. Note that this event may be triggered halfway executing another event, especially if file I/O, a shell command or anything else that takes time is involved. TextChanged TextChanged After a change was made to the text in the current buffer in Normal mode. That is after \|b:changedtick\| has changed (also when that happened before the TextChanged autocommand was defined). Not triggered when there is typeahead or when an operator is pending. Note: This can not be skipped with `:noautocmd`. Careful: This is triggered very often, don't do anything that the user does not expect or that is slow. TextChangedI TextChangedI After a change was made to the text in the current buffer in Insert mode. Not triggered when the popup menu is visible. Otherwise the same as TextChanged. TextChangedP TextChangedP After a change was made to the text in the current buffer in Insert mode, only when the popup menu is visible. Otherwise the same as TextChanged. TextYankPost TextYankPost After text has been yanked or deleted in the current buffer. The following values of \|v:event\| can be used to determine the operation that triggered this autocmd: operator The operation performed. regcontents Text that was stored in the register, as a list of lines, like with: > getreg(r, 1, 1) < regname Name of the \|register\| or empty string for the unnamed register. regtype Type of the register, see \|getregtype()\|. visual True if the operation is performed on a \|Visual\| area. Not triggered when \|quote_\| is used nor when called recursively. It is not allowed to change the buffer text, see \|textlock\|. {only when compiled with the +eval feature} User User Never executed automatically. To be used for autocommands that are only executed with ":doautocmd". Note that when `:doautocmd User MyEvent` is used while there are no matching autocommands, you will get an error. If you don't want that, define a dummy autocommand yourself. SigUSR1 SigUSR1 After the SIGUSR1 signal has been detected. Could be used if other ways of notifying Vim are not feasible. E.g. to check for the result of a build that takes a long time, or when a motion sensor is triggered. {only on Unix} UserGettingBored UserGettingBored When the user presses the same key 42 times. Just kidding! :-) VimEnter VimEnter After doing all the startup stuff, including loading .vimrc files, executing the "-c cmd" arguments, creating all windows and loading the buffers in them. Just before this event is triggered the \|v:vim_did_enter\| variable is set, so that you can do: > if v:vim_did_enter call s:init() else au VimEnter * call s:init() endif < VimLeave VimLeave Before exiting Vim, just after writing the .viminfo file. Executed only once, like VimLeavePre. To detect an abnormal exit use \|v:dying\|. When v:dying is 2 or more this event is not triggered. To get the exit code use \|v:exiting\|. VimLeavePre VimLeavePre Before exiting Vim, just before writing the .viminfo file. This is executed only once, if there is a match with the name of what happens to be the current buffer when exiting. Mostly useful with a "" pattern. > :autocmd VimLeavePre call CleanupStuff() < To detect an abnormal exit use \|v:dying\|. When v:dying is 2 or more this event is not triggered. To get the exit code use \|v:exiting\|. VimResized VimResized After the Vim window was resized, thus 'lines' and/or 'columns' changed. Not when starting up though. VimResume VimResume When the Vim instance is resumed after being suspended and \|VimSuspend\| was triggered. Useful for triggering \|:checktime\| and ensure the buffers content did not change while Vim was suspended: > :autocmd VimResume * checktime < VimSuspend VimSuspend When the Vim instance is suspended. Only when CTRL-Z was typed inside Vim, not when the SIGSTOP or SIGTSTP signal was sent to Vim. WinEnter WinEnter After entering another window. Not done for the first window, when Vim has just started. Useful for setting the window height. If the window is for another buffer, Vim executes the BufEnter autocommands after the WinEnter autocommands. Note: For split and tabpage commands the WinEnter event is triggered after the split or tab command but before the file is loaded. WinLeave WinLeave Before leaving a window. If the window to be entered next is for a different buffer, Vim executes the BufLeave autocommands before the WinLeave autocommands (but not for ":new"). Not used for ":qa" or ":q" when exiting Vim. WinNew WinNew When a new window was created. Not done for the first window, when Vim has just started. Before a WinEnter event. ============================================================================== 6. Patterns autocmd-patterns {pat} The {pat} argument can be a comma separated list. This works as if the command was given with each pattern separately. Thus this command: > :autocmd BufRead .txt,.info set et Is equivalent to: > :autocmd BufRead .txt set et :autocmd BufRead .info set et The file pattern {pat} is tested for a match against the file name in one of two ways: 1. When there is no '/' in the pattern, Vim checks for a match against only the tail part of the file name (without its leading directory path). 2. When there is a '/' in the pattern, Vim checks for a match against both the short file name (as you typed it) and the full file name (after expanding it to a full path and resolving symbolic links). The special pattern <buffer> or <buffer=N> is used for buffer-local autocommands \|autocmd-buflocal\|. This pattern is not matched against the name of a buffer. Examples: > :autocmd BufRead .txt set et Set the 'et' option for all text files. > :autocmd BufRead /vim/src/.c set cindent Set the 'cindent' option for C files in the /vim/src directory. > :autocmd BufRead /tmp/.c set ts=5 If you have a link from "/tmp/test.c" to "/home/nobody/vim/src/test.c", and you start editing "/tmp/test.c", this autocommand will match. Note: To match part of a path, but not from the root directory, use a '' as the first character. Example: > :autocmd BufRead /doc/.txt set tw=78 This autocommand will for example be executed for "/tmp/doc/xx.txt" and "/usr/home/piet/doc/yy.txt". The number of directories does not matter here. The file name that the pattern is matched against is after expanding wildcards. Thus if you issue this command: > :e $ROOTDIR/main.$EXT The argument is first expanded to: > /usr/root/main.py Before it's matched with the pattern of the autocommand. Careful with this when using events like FileReadCmd, the value of <amatch> may not be what you expect. Environment variables can be used in a pattern: > :autocmd BufRead $VIMRUNTIME/doc/.txt set expandtab And ~ can be used for the home directory (if $HOME is defined): > :autocmd BufWritePost ~/.vimrc so ~/.vimrc :autocmd BufRead ~archive/ set readonly The environment variable is expanded when the autocommand is defined, not when the autocommand is executed. This is different from the command! file-pattern The pattern is interpreted like mostly used in file names: * matches any sequence of characters; Unusual: includes path separators ? matches any single character \? matches a '?' . matches a '.' ~ matches a '~' , separates patterns \, matches a ',' { } like in a \|pattern\| , inside { }: like \\| in a \|pattern\| \} literal } \{ literal { \\\{n,m\} like \{n,m} in a \|pattern\| \ special meaning like in a \|pattern\| [ch] matches 'c' or 'h' [^ch] match any character but 'c' and 'h' Note that for all systems the '/' character is used for path separator (even for MS-Windows). This was done because the backslash is difficult to use in a pattern and to make the autocommands portable across different systems. It is possible to use \|pattern\| items, but they may not work as expected, because of the translation done for the above. autocmd-changes Matching with the pattern is done when an event is triggered. Changing the buffer name in one of the autocommands, or even deleting the buffer, does not change which autocommands will be executed. Example: > au BufEnter .foo bdel au BufEnter .foo set modified This will delete the current buffer and then set 'modified' in what has become the current buffer instead. Vim doesn't take into account that ".foo" doesn't match with that buffer name. It matches ".foo" with the name of the buffer at the moment the event was triggered. However, buffer-local autocommands will not be executed for a buffer that has been wiped out with \|:bwipe\|. After deleting the buffer with \|:bdel\| the buffer actually still exists (it becomes unlisted), thus the autocommands are still executed. ============================================================================== 7. Buffer-local autocommands autocmd-buflocal autocmd-buffer-local <buffer=N> <buffer=abuf> E680 Buffer-local autocommands are attached to a specific buffer. They are useful if the buffer does not have a name and when the name does not match a specific pattern. But it also means they must be explicitly added to each buffer. Instead of a pattern buffer-local autocommands use one of these forms: <buffer> current buffer <buffer=99> buffer number 99 <buffer=abuf> using <abuf> (only when executing autocommands) \|<abuf>\| Examples: > :au CursorHold <buffer> echo 'hold' :au CursorHold <buffer=33> echo 'hold' :au BufNewFile * au CursorHold <buffer=abuf> echo 'hold' All the commands for autocommands also work with buffer-local autocommands, simply use the special string instead of the pattern. Examples: > :au! * <buffer> " remove buffer-local autocommands for " current buffer :au! * <buffer=33> " remove buffer-local autocommands for " buffer #33 :bufdo :au! CursorHold <buffer> " remove autocmd for given event for all " buffers :au * <buffer> " list buffer-local autocommands for " current buffer Note that when an autocommand is defined for the current buffer, it is stored with the buffer number. Thus it uses the form "<buffer=12>", where 12 is the number of the current buffer. You will see this when listing autocommands, for example. To test for presence of buffer-local autocommands use the \|exists()\| function as follows: > :if exists("#CursorHold#<buffer=12>") \| ... \| endif :if exists("#CursorHold#<buffer>") \| ... \| endif " for current buffer When a buffer is wiped out its buffer-local autocommands are also gone, of course. Note that when deleting a buffer, e.g., with ":bdel", it is only unlisted, the autocommands are still present. In order to see the removal of buffer-local autocommands: > :set verbose=6 It is not possible to define buffer-local autocommands for a non-existent buffer. ============================================================================== 8. Groups autocmd-groups Autocommands can be put together in a group. This is useful for removing or executing a group of autocommands. For example, all the autocommands for syntax highlighting are put in the "highlight" group, to be able to execute ":doautoall highlight BufRead" when the GUI starts. When no specific group is selected, Vim uses the default group. The default group does not have a name. You cannot execute the autocommands from the default group separately; you can execute them only by executing autocommands for all groups. Normally, when executing autocommands automatically, Vim uses the autocommands for all groups. The group only matters when executing autocommands with ":doautocmd" or ":doautoall", or when defining or deleting autocommands. The group name can contain any characters except white space. The group name "end" is reserved (also in uppercase). The group name is case sensitive. Note that this is different from the event name! :aug :augroup :aug[roup] {name} Define the autocmd group name for the following ":autocmd" commands. The name "end" or "END" selects the default group. To avoid confusion, the name should be different from existing {event} names, as this most likely will not do what you intended. :augroup-delete E367 W19 E936 :aug[roup]! {name} Delete the autocmd group {name}. Don't use this if there is still an autocommand using this group! You will get a warning if doing it anyway. When the group is the current group you will get error E936. To enter autocommands for a specific group, use this method: 1. Select the group with ":augroup {name}". 2. Delete any old autocommands with ":au!". 3. Define the autocommands. 4. Go back to the default group with "augroup END". Example: > :augroup uncompress : au! : au BufEnter .gz %!gunzip :augroup END This prevents having the autocommands defined twice (e.g., after sourcing the .vimrc file again). ============================================================================== 9. Executing autocommands autocmd-execute* Vim can also execute Autocommands non-automatically. This is useful if you have changed autocommands, or when Vim has executed the wrong autocommands (e.g., the file pattern match was wrong). Note that the 'eventignore' option applies here too. Events listed in this option will not cause any commands to be executed. :do :doau :doaut :doautocmd E217 :do[autocmd] [<nomodeline>] [group] {event} [fname] Apply the autocommands matching [fname] (default: current file name) for {event} to the current buffer. You can use this when the current file name does not match the right pattern, after changing settings, or to execute autocommands for a certain event. It's possible to use this inside an autocommand too, so you can base the autocommands for one extension on another extension. Example: > :au BufEnter .cpp so ~/.vimrc_cpp :au BufEnter .cpp doau BufEnter x.c < Be careful to avoid endless loops. See \|autocmd-nested\|. When the [group] argument is not given, Vim executes the autocommands for all groups. When the [group] argument is included, Vim executes only the matching autocommands for that group. Note: if you use an undefined group name, Vim gives you an error message. <nomodeline> After applying the autocommands the modelines are processed, so that their settings overrule the settings from autocommands, like what happens when editing a file. This is skipped when the <nomodeline> argument is present. You probably want to use <nomodeline> for events that are not used when loading a buffer, such as \|User\|. Processing modelines is also skipped when no matching autocommands were executed. :doautoa :doautoall :doautoa[ll] [<nomodeline>] [group] {event} [fname] Like ":doautocmd", but apply the autocommands to each loaded buffer. Note that [fname] is used to select the autocommands, not the buffers to which they are applied. Careful: Don't use this for autocommands that delete a buffer, change to another buffer or change the contents of a buffer; the result is unpredictable. This command is intended for autocommands that set options, change highlighting, and things like that. ============================================================================== 10. Using autocommands autocmd-use For WRITING FILES there are four possible sets of events. Vim uses only one of these sets for a write command: BufWriteCmd BufWritePre BufWritePost writing the whole buffer FilterWritePre FilterWritePost writing to filter temp file FileAppendCmd FileAppendPre FileAppendPost appending to a file FileWriteCmd FileWritePre FileWritePost any other file write When there is a matching "Cmd" autocommand, it is assumed it will do the writing. No further writing is done and the other events are not triggered. \|Cmd-event\| Note that the WritePost commands should undo any changes to the buffer that were caused by the WritePre commands; otherwise, writing the file will have the side effect of changing the buffer. Before executing the autocommands, the buffer from which the lines are to be written temporarily becomes the current buffer. Unless the autocommands change the current buffer or delete the previously current buffer, the previously current buffer is made the current buffer again. The WritePre and AppendPre autocommands must not delete the buffer from which the lines are to be written. The '[ and '] marks have a special position: - Before the ReadPre event the '[ mark is set to the line just above where the new lines will be inserted. - Before the ReadPost event the '[ mark is set to the first line that was just read, the '] mark to the last line. - Before executing the WriteCmd, WritePre and AppendPre autocommands the '[ mark is set to the first line that will be written, the '] mark to the last line. Careful: '[ and '] change when using commands that change the buffer. In commands which expect a file name, you can use "<afile>" for the file name that is being read \|:<afile>\| (you can also use "%" for the current file name). "<abuf>" can be used for the buffer number of the currently effective buffer. This also works for buffers that don't have a name. But it doesn't work for files without a buffer (e.g., with ":r file"). gzip-example Examples for reading and writing compressed files: > :augroup gzip : autocmd! : autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre .gz set bin : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost .gz '[,']!gunzip : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost .gz set nobin : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost .gz execute ":doautocmd BufReadPost " . expand("%:r") : autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost .gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r : autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost .gz !gzip <afile>:r : autocmd FileAppendPre .gz !gunzip <afile> : autocmd FileAppendPre .gz !mv <afile>:r <afile> : autocmd FileAppendPost .gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r : autocmd FileAppendPost .gz !gzip <afile>:r :augroup END The "gzip" group is used to be able to delete any existing autocommands with ":autocmd!", for when the file is sourced twice. ("<afile>:r" is the file name without the extension, see \|:_%:\|) The commands executed for the BufNewFile, BufRead/BufReadPost, BufWritePost, FileAppendPost and VimLeave events do not set or reset the changed flag of the buffer. When you decompress the buffer with the BufReadPost autocommands, you can still exit with ":q". When you use ":undo" in BufWritePost to undo the changes made by BufWritePre commands, you can still do ":q" (this also makes "ZZ" work). If you do want the buffer to be marked as modified, set the 'modified' option. To execute Normal mode commands from an autocommand, use the ":normal" command. Use with care! If the Normal mode command is not finished, the user needs to type characters (e.g., after ":normal m" you need to type a mark name). If you want the buffer to be unmodified after changing it, reset the 'modified' option. This makes it possible to exit the buffer with ":q" instead of ":q!". autocmd-nested E218 By default, autocommands do not nest. For example, if you use ":e" or ":w" in an autocommand, Vim does not execute the BufRead and BufWrite autocommands for those commands. If you do want this, use the "nested" flag for those commands in which you want nesting. For example: > :autocmd FileChangedShell .c ++nested e! The nesting is limited to 10 levels to get out of recursive loops. It's possible to use the ":au" command in an autocommand. This can be a self-modifying command! This can be useful for an autocommand that should execute only once. If you want to skip autocommands for one command, use the \|:noautocmd\| command modifier or the 'eventignore' option. Note: When reading a file (with ":read file" or with a filter command) and the last line in the file does not have an <EOL>, Vim remembers this. At the next write (with ":write file" or with a filter command), if the same line is written again as the last line in a file AND 'binary' is set, Vim does not supply an <EOL>. This makes a filter command on the just read lines write the same file as was read, and makes a write command on just filtered lines write the same file as was read from the filter. For example, another way to write a compressed file: > :autocmd FileWritePre .gz set bin\|'[,']!gzip :autocmd FileWritePost .gz undo\|set nobin < autocommand-pattern* You can specify multiple patterns, separated by commas. Here are some examples: > :autocmd BufRead * set tw=79 nocin ic infercase fo=2croq :autocmd BufRead .letter set tw=72 fo=2tcrq :autocmd BufEnter .letter set dict=/usr/lib/dict/words :autocmd BufLeave .letter set dict= :autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile .c,.h set tw=0 cin noic :autocmd BufEnter .c,.h abbr FOR for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i)<CR>{<CR>}<Esc>O :autocmd BufLeave .c,.h unabbr FOR For makefiles (makefile, Makefile, imakefile, makefile.unix, etc.): > :autocmd BufEnter ?akefile* set include=^s\=include :autocmd BufLeave ?akefile* set include& To always start editing C files at the first function: > :autocmd BufRead .c,.h 1;/^{ Without the "1;" above, the search would start from wherever the file was entered, rather than from the start of the file. skeleton template To read a skeleton (template) file when opening a new file: > :autocmd BufNewFile .c 0r ~/vim/skeleton.c :autocmd BufNewFile .h 0r ~/vim/skeleton.h :autocmd BufNewFile .java 0r ~/vim/skeleton.java To insert the current date and time in a .html file when writing it: > :autocmd BufWritePre,FileWritePre .html ks\|call LastMod()\|'s :fun LastMod() : if line("$") > 20 : let l = 20 : else : let l = line("$") : endif : exe "1," . l . "g/Last modified: /s/Last modified: ./Last modified: " . : \ strftime("%Y %b %d") :endfun You need to have a line "Last modified: <date time>" in the first 20 lines of the file for this to work. Vim replaces <date time> (and anything in the same line after it) with the current date and time. Explanation: ks mark current position with mark 's' call LastMod() call the LastMod() function to do the work 's return the cursor to the old position The LastMod() function checks if the file is shorter than 20 lines, and then uses the ":g" command to find lines that contain "Last modified: ". For those lines the ":s" command is executed to replace the existing date with the current one. The ":execute" command is used to be able to use an expression for the ":g" and ":s" commands. The date is obtained with the strftime() function. You can change its argument to get another date string. When entering :autocmd on the command-line, completion of events and command names may be done (with <Tab>, CTRL-D, etc.) where appropriate. Vim executes all matching autocommands in the order that you specify them. It is recommended that your first autocommand be used for all files by using "" as the file pattern. This means that you can define defaults you like here for any settings, and if there is another matching autocommand it will override these. But if there is no other matching autocommand, then at least your default settings are recovered (if entering this file from another for which autocommands did match). Note that "" will also match files starting with ".", unlike Unix shells. autocmd-searchpat Autocommands do not change the current search patterns. Vim saves the current search patterns before executing autocommands then restores them after the autocommands finish. This means that autocommands do not affect the strings highlighted with the 'hlsearch' option. Within autocommands, you can still use search patterns normally, e.g., with the "n" command. If you want an autocommand to set the search pattern, such that it is used after the autocommand finishes, use the ":let @/ =" command. The search-highlighting cannot be switched off with ":nohlsearch" in an autocommand. Use the 'h' flag in the 'viminfo' option to disable search- highlighting when starting Vim. Cmd-event When using one of the "Cmd" events, the matching autocommands are expected to do the file reading, writing or sourcing. This can be used when working with a special kind of file, for example on a remote system. CAREFUL: If you use these events in a wrong way, it may have the effect of making it impossible to read or write the matching files! Make sure you test your autocommands properly. Best is to use a pattern that will never match a normal file name, for example "ftp://". When defining a BufReadCmd it will be difficult for Vim to recover a crashed editing session. When recovering from the original file, Vim reads only those parts of a file that are not found in the swap file. Since that is not possible with a BufReadCmd, use the \|:preserve\| command to make sure the original file isn't needed for recovery. You might want to do this only when you expect the file to be modified. For file read and write commands the \|v:cmdarg\| variable holds the "++enc=" and "++ff=" argument that are effective. These should be used for the command that reads/writes the file. The \|v:cmdbang\| variable is one when "!" was used, zero otherwise. See the $VIMRUNTIME/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim for examples. ============================================================================== 11. Disabling autocommands autocmd-disable To disable autocommands for some time use the 'eventignore' option. Note that this may cause unexpected behavior, make sure you restore 'eventignore' afterwards, using a \|:try\| block with \|:finally\|. :noautocmd :noa To disable autocommands for just one command use the ":noautocmd" command modifier. This will set 'eventignore' to "all" for the duration of the following command. Example: > :noautocmd w fname.gz This will write the file without triggering the autocommands defined by the gzip plugin. Note that some autocommands are not triggered right away, but only later. This specifically applies to \|CursorMoved\| and \|TextChanged\|. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	70.53 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 change.txt change.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Mar 01 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar This file describes commands that delete or change text. In this context, changing text means deleting the text and replacing it with other text using one command. You can undo all of these commands. You can repeat the non-Ex commands with the "." command. 1. Deleting text \|deleting\| 2. Delete and insert \|delete-insert\| 3. Simple changes \|simple-change\| changing 4. Complex changes \|complex-change\| 4.1 Filter commands \|filter\| 4.2 Substitute \|:substitute\| 4.3 Search and replace \|search-replace\| 4.4 Changing tabs \|change-tabs\| 5. Copying and moving text \|copy-move\| 6. Formatting text \|formatting\| 7. Sorting text \|sorting\| For inserting text see \|insert.txt\|. ============================================================================== 1. Deleting text deleting E470 ["x]<Del> or <Del> x dl ["x]x Delete [count] characters under and after the cursor [into register x] (not \|linewise\|). Does the same as "dl". The <Del> key does not take a [count]. Instead, it deletes the last character of the count. See \|:fixdel\| if the <Del> key does not do what you want. See \|'whichwrap'\| for deleting a line break (join lines). X dh ["x]X Delete [count] characters before the cursor [into register x] (not \|linewise\|). Does the same as "dh". Also see \|'whichwrap'\|. d ["x]d{motion} Delete text that {motion} moves over [into register x]. See below for exceptions. dd ["x]dd Delete [count] lines [into register x] \|linewise\|. D ["x]D Delete the characters under the cursor until the end of the line and [count]-1 more lines [into register x]; synonym for "d$". (not \|linewise\|) When the '#' flag is in 'cpoptions' the count is ignored. {Visual}["x]x or v_x v_d v_<Del> {Visual}["x]d or {Visual}["x]<Del> Delete the highlighted text [into register x] (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). {Visual}["x]CTRL-H or v_CTRL-H v_<BS> {Visual}["x]<BS> When in Select mode: Delete the highlighted text [into register x]. {Visual}["x]X or v_X v_D v_b_D {Visual}["x]D Delete the highlighted lines [into register x] (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). In Visual block mode, "D" deletes the highlighted text plus all text until the end of the line. :d :de :del :delete :dl :dp :[range]d[elete] [x] Delete [range] lines (default: current line) [into register x]. Note these weird abbreviations: :dl delete and list :dell idem :delel idem :deletl idem :deletel idem :dp delete and print :dep idem :delp idem :delep idem :deletp idem :deletep idem :[range]d[elete] [x] {count} Delete {count} lines, starting with [range] (default: current line \|cmdline-ranges\|) [into register x]. These commands delete text. You can repeat them with the `.` command (except `:d`) and undo them. Use Visual mode to delete blocks of text. See \|registers\| for an explanation of registers. An exception for the d{motion} command: If the motion is not linewise, the start and end of the motion are not in the same line, and there are only blanks before the start and there are no non-blanks after the end of the motion, the delete becomes linewise. This means that the delete also removes the line of blanks that you might expect to remain. Use the \|o_v\| operator to force the motion to be characterwise. Trying to delete an empty region of text (e.g., "d0" in the first column) is an error when 'cpoptions' includes the 'E' flag. J J Join [count] lines, with a minimum of two lines. Remove the indent and insert up to two spaces (see below). Fails when on the last line of the buffer. If [count] is too big it is reduced to the number of lines available. v_J {Visual}J Join the highlighted lines, with a minimum of two lines. Remove the indent and insert up to two spaces (see below). gJ gJ Join [count] lines, with a minimum of two lines. Don't insert or remove any spaces. v_gJ {Visual}gJ Join the highlighted lines, with a minimum of two lines. Don't insert or remove any spaces. :j :join :[range]j[oin][!] [flags] Join [range] lines. Same as "J", except with [!] the join does not insert or delete any spaces. If a [range] has equal start and end values, this command does nothing. The default behavior is to join the current line with the line below it. See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. :[range]j[oin][!] {count} [flags] Join {count} lines, starting with [range] (default: current line \|cmdline-ranges\|). Same as "J", except with [!] the join does not insert or delete any spaces. See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. These commands delete the <EOL> between lines. This has the effect of joining multiple lines into one line. You can repeat these commands (except `:j`) and undo them. These commands, except "gJ", insert one space in place of the <EOL> unless there is trailing white space or the next line starts with a ')'. These commands, except "gJ", delete any leading white space on the next line. If the 'joinspaces' option is on, these commands insert two spaces after a '.', '!' or '?' (but if 'cpoptions' includes the 'j' flag, they insert two spaces only after a '.'). The 'B' and 'M' flags in 'formatoptions' change the behavior for inserting spaces before and after a multibyte character \|fo-table\|. The '[ mark is set at the end of the first line that was joined, '] at the end of the resulting line. ============================================================================== 2. Delete and insert delete-insert replacing R R Enter Replace mode: Each character you type replaces an existing character, starting with the character under the cursor. Repeat the entered text [count]-1 times. See \|Replace-mode\| for more details. gR gR Enter Virtual Replace mode: Each character you type replaces existing characters in screen space. So a <Tab> may replace several characters at once. Repeat the entered text [count]-1 times. See \|Virtual-Replace-mode\| for more details. c ["x]c{motion} Delete {motion} text [into register x] and start insert. When 'cpoptions' includes the 'E' flag and there is no text to delete (e.g., with "cTx" when the cursor is just after an 'x'), an error occurs and insert mode does not start (this is Vi compatible). When 'cpoptions' does not include the 'E' flag, the "c" command always starts insert mode, even if there is no text to delete. cc ["x]cc Delete [count] lines [into register x] and start insert \|linewise\|. If 'autoindent' is on, preserve the indent of the first line. C ["x]C Delete from the cursor position to the end of the line and [count]-1 more lines [into register x], and start insert. Synonym for c$ (not \|linewise\|). s ["x]s Delete [count] characters [into register x] and start insert (s stands for Substitute). Synonym for "cl" (not \|linewise\|). S ["x]S Delete [count] lines [into register x] and start insert. Synonym for "cc" \|linewise\|. {Visual}["x]c or v_c v_s {Visual}["x]s Delete the highlighted text [into register x] and start insert (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). v_r {Visual}r{char} Replace all selected characters by {char}. v_C {Visual}["x]C Delete the highlighted lines [into register x] and start insert. In Visual block mode it works differently \|v_b_C\|. v_S {Visual}["x]S Delete the highlighted lines [into register x] and start insert (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). v_R {Visual}["x]R Currently just like {Visual}["x]S. In a next version it might work differently. Notes: - You can end Insert and Replace mode with <Esc>. - See the section "Insert and Replace mode" \|mode-ins-repl\| for the other special characters in these modes. - The effect of [count] takes place after Vim exits Insert or Replace mode. - When the 'cpoptions' option contains '$' and the change is within one line, Vim continues to show the text to be deleted and puts a '$' at the last deleted character. See \|registers\| for an explanation of registers. Replace mode is just like Insert mode, except that every character you enter deletes one character. If you reach the end of a line, Vim appends any further characters (just like Insert mode). In Replace mode, the backspace key restores the original text (if there was any). (See section "Insert and Replace mode" \|mode-ins-repl\|). cw cW Special case: When the cursor is in a word, "cw" and "cW" do not include the white space after a word, they only change up to the end of the word. This is because Vim interprets "cw" as change-word, and a word does not include the following white space. {Vi: "cw" when on a blank followed by other blanks changes only the first blank; this is probably a bug, because "dw" deletes all the blanks; use the 'w' flag in 'cpoptions' to make it work like Vi anyway} If you prefer "cw" to include the space after a word, use this mapping: > :map cw dwi Or use "caw" (see \|aw\|). :c :ch :change :{range}c[hange][!] Replace lines of text with some different text. Type a line containing only "." to stop replacing. Without {range}, this command changes only the current line. Adding [!] toggles 'autoindent' for the time this command is executed. ============================================================================== 3. Simple changes simple-change r r{char} Replace the character under the cursor with {char}. If {char} is a <CR> or <NL>, a line break replaces the character. To replace with a real <CR>, use CTRL-V <CR>. CTRL-V <NL> replaces with a <Nul>. If {char} is CTRL-E or CTRL-Y the character from the line below or above is used, just like with \|i_CTRL-E\| and \|i_CTRL-Y\|. This also works with a count, thus `10r<C-E>` copies 10 characters from the line below. If you give a [count], Vim replaces [count] characters with [count] {char}s. When {char} is a <CR> or <NL>, however, Vim inserts only one <CR>: "5r<CR>" replaces five characters with a single line break. When {char} is a <CR> or <NL>, Vim performs autoindenting. This works just like deleting the characters that are replaced and then doing "i<CR><Esc>". {char} can be entered as a digraph \|digraph-arg\|. \|:lmap\| mappings apply to {char}. The CTRL-^ command in Insert mode can be used to switch this on/off \|i_CTRL-^\|. See \|utf-8-char-arg\| about using composing characters when 'encoding' is Unicode. gr gr{char} Replace the virtual characters under the cursor with {char}. This replaces in screen space, not file space. See \|gR\| and \|Virtual-Replace-mode\| for more details. As with \|r\| a count may be given. {char} can be entered like with \|r\|. digraph-arg The argument for Normal mode commands like \|r\| and \|t\| is a single character. When 'cpo' doesn't contain the 'D' flag, this character can also be entered like \|digraphs\|. First type CTRL-K and then the two digraph characters. {not available when compiled without the \|+digraphs\| feature} case The following commands change the case of letters. The currently active \|locale\| is used. See \|:language\|. The LC_CTYPE value matters here. ~ ~ 'notildeop' option: Switch case of the character under the cursor and move the cursor to the right. If a [count] is given, do that many characters. ~{motion} 'tildeop' option: switch case of {motion} text. g~ g~{motion} Switch case of {motion} text. g~g~ g~g~ g~~ g~~ Switch case of current line. v_~ {Visual}~ Switch case of highlighted text (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). v_U {Visual}U Make highlighted text uppercase (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). gU uppercase gU{motion} Make {motion} text uppercase. Example: > :map! <C-F> <Esc>gUiw`]a < This works in Insert mode: press CTRL-F to make the word before the cursor uppercase. Handy to type words in lowercase and then make them uppercase. gUgU gUgU gUU gUU Make current line uppercase. v_u {Visual}u Make highlighted text lowercase (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). gu lowercase gu{motion} Make {motion} text lowercase. gugu gugu guu guu Make current line lowercase. g? rot13 g?{motion} Rot13 encode {motion} text. v_g? {Visual}g? Rot13 encode the highlighted text (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). g?g? g?g? g?? g?? Rot13 encode current line. To turn one line into title caps, make every first letter of a word uppercase: > :s/\v<(.)(\w)/\u\1\L\2/g Adding and subtracting ~ CTRL-A* CTRL-A Add [count] to the number or alphabetic character at or after the cursor. v_CTRL-A {Visual}CTRL-A Add [count] to the number or alphabetic character in the highlighted text. v_g_CTRL-A {Visual}g CTRL-A Add [count] to the number or alphabetic character in the highlighted text. If several lines are highlighted, each one will be incremented by an additional [count] (so effectively creating a [count] incrementing sequence). For Example, if you have this list of numbers: 1. ~ 1. ~ 1. ~ 1. ~ Move to the second "1." and Visually select three lines, pressing g CTRL-A results in: 1. ~ 2. ~ 3. ~ 4. ~ CTRL-X CTRL-X Subtract [count] from the number or alphabetic character at or after the cursor. v_CTRL-X {Visual}CTRL-X Subtract [count] from the number or alphabetic character in the highlighted text. On MS-Windows, this is mapped to cut Visual text \|dos-standard-mappings\|. If you want to disable the mapping, use this: > silent! vunmap <C-X> < v_g_CTRL-X {Visual}g CTRL-X Subtract [count] from the number or alphabetic character in the highlighted text. If several lines are highlighted, each value will be decremented by an additional [count] (so effectively creating a [count] decrementing sequence). The CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands can work for: - signed and unsigned decimal numbers - unsigned binary, octal and hexadecimal numbers - alphabetic characters This depends on the 'nrformats' option: - When 'nrformats' includes "bin", Vim assumes numbers starting with '0b' or '0B' are binary. - When 'nrformats' includes "octal", Vim considers numbers starting with a '0' to be octal, unless the number includes a '8' or '9'. Other numbers are decimal and may have a preceding minus sign. If the cursor is on a number, the commands apply to that number; otherwise Vim uses the number to the right of the cursor. - When 'nrformats' includes "hex", Vim assumes numbers starting with '0x' or '0X' are hexadecimal. The case of the rightmost letter in the number determines the case of the resulting hexadecimal number. If there is no letter in the current number, Vim uses the previously detected case. - When 'nrformats' includes "alpha", Vim will change the alphabetic character under or after the cursor. This is useful to make lists with an alphabetic index. For decimals a leading negative sign is considered for incrementing/ decrementing, for binary, octal and hex values, it won't be considered. To ignore the sign Visually select the number before using CTRL-A or CTRL-X. For numbers with leading zeros (including all octal and hexadecimal numbers), Vim preserves the number of characters in the number when possible. CTRL-A on "0077" results in "0100", CTRL-X on "0x100" results in "0x0ff". There is one exception: When a number that starts with a zero is found not to be octal (it contains a '8' or '9'), but 'nrformats' does include "octal", leading zeros are removed to avoid that the result may be recognized as an octal number. Note that when 'nrformats' includes "octal", decimal numbers with leading zeros cause mistakes, because they can be confused with octal numbers. Note similarly, when 'nrformats' includes "bin", binary numbers with a leading '0x' or '0X' can be interpreted as hexadecimal rather than binary since '0b' are valid hexadecimal digits. The CTRL-A command is very useful in a macro. Example: Use the following steps to make a numbered list. 1. Create the first list entry, make sure it starts with a number. 2. qa - start recording into register 'a' 3. Y - yank the entry 4. p - put a copy of the entry below the first one 5. CTRL-A - increment the number 6. q - stop recording 7. <count>@a - repeat the yank, put and increment <count> times SHIFTING LINES LEFT OR RIGHT shift-left-right < <{motion} Shift {motion} lines one 'shiftwidth' leftwards. If the 'vartabstop' feature is enabled, and the 'shiftwidth' option is set to zero, the amount of indent is calculated at the first non-blank character in the line. << << Shift [count] lines one 'shiftwidth' leftwards. v_< {Visual}[count]< Shift the highlighted lines [count] 'shiftwidth' leftwards (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). > >{motion} Shift {motion} lines one 'shiftwidth' rightwards. If the 'vartabstop' feature is enabled, and the 'shiftwidth' option is set to zero, the amount of indent is calculated at the first non-blank character in the line. >> >> Shift [count] lines one 'shiftwidth' rightwards. v_> {Visual}[count]> Shift the highlighted lines [count] 'shiftwidth' rightwards (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). :< :[range]< Shift [range] lines one 'shiftwidth' left. Repeat '<' for shifting multiple 'shiftwidth's. :[range]< {count} Shift {count} lines one 'shiftwidth' left, starting with [range] (default current line \|cmdline-ranges\|). Repeat '<' for shifting multiple 'shiftwidth's. :[range]le[ft] [indent] left align lines in [range]. Sets the indent in the lines to [indent] (default 0). :> :[range]> [flags] Shift {count} [range] lines one 'shiftwidth' right. Repeat '>' for shifting multiple 'shiftwidth's. See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. :[range]> {count} [flags] Shift {count} lines one 'shiftwidth' right, starting with [range] (default current line \|cmdline-ranges\|). Repeat '>' for shifting multiple 'shiftwidth's. See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. The ">" and "<" commands are handy for changing the indentation within programs. Use the 'shiftwidth' option to set the size of the white space which these commands insert or delete. Normally the 'shiftwidth' option is 8, but you can set it to, say, 3 to make smaller indents. The shift leftwards stops when there is no indent. The shift right does not affect empty lines. If the 'shiftround' option is on, the indent is rounded to a multiple of 'shiftwidth'. If the 'smartindent' option is on, or 'cindent' is on and 'cinkeys' contains '#' with a zero value, shift right does not affect lines starting with '#' (these are supposed to be C preprocessor lines that must stay in column 1). This can be changed with the 'cino' option, see \|cino-#\|. When the 'expandtab' option is off (this is the default) Vim uses <Tab>s as much as possible to make the indent. You can use ">><<" to replace an indent made out of spaces with the same indent made out of <Tab>s (and a few spaces if necessary). If the 'expandtab' option is on, Vim uses only spaces. Then you can use ">><<" to replace <Tab>s in the indent by spaces (or use `:retab!`). To move a line several 'shiftwidth's, use Visual mode or the `:` commands. For example: > Vjj4> move three lines 4 indents to the right :<<< move current line 3 indents to the left :>> 5 move 5 lines 2 indents to the right :5>> move line 5 2 indents to the right ============================================================================== 4. Complex changes complex-change 4.1 Filter commands filter A filter is a program that accepts text at standard input, changes it in some way, and sends it to standard output. You can use the commands below to send some text through a filter, so that it is replaced by the filter output. Examples of filters are "sort", which sorts lines alphabetically, and "indent", which formats C program files (you need a version of indent that works like a filter; not all versions do). The 'shell' option specifies the shell Vim uses to execute the filter command (See also the 'shelltype' option). You can repeat filter commands with ".". Vim does not recognize a comment (starting with '"') after the `:!` command. ! !{motion}{filter} Filter {motion} text lines through the external program {filter}. !! !!{filter} Filter [count] lines through the external program {filter}. v_! {Visual}!{filter} Filter the highlighted lines through the external program {filter} (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). :{range}![!]{filter} [!][arg] :range! Filter {range} lines through the external program {filter}. Vim replaces the optional bangs with the latest given command and appends the optional [arg]. Vim saves the output of the filter command in a temporary file and then reads the file into the buffer \|tempfile\|. Vim uses the 'shellredir' option to redirect the filter output to the temporary file. However, if the 'shelltemp' option is off then pipes are used when possible (on Unix). When the 'R' flag is included in 'cpoptions' marks in the filtered lines are deleted, unless the \|:keepmarks\| command is used. Example: > :keepmarks '<,'>!sort < When the number of lines after filtering is less than before, marks in the missing lines are deleted anyway. = ={motion} Filter {motion} lines through the external program given with the 'equalprg' option. When the 'equalprg' option is empty (this is the default), use the internal formatting function \|C-indenting\| and \|'lisp'\|. But when 'indentexpr' is not empty, it will be used instead \|indent-expression\|. When Vim was compiled without internal formatting then the "indent" program is used as a last resort. == == Filter [count] lines like with ={motion}. v_= {Visual}= Filter the highlighted lines like with ={motion}. tempfile setuid Vim uses temporary files for filtering, generating diffs and also for tempname(). For Unix, the file will be in a private directory (only accessible by the current user) to avoid security problems (e.g., a symlink attack or other people reading your file). When Vim exits the directory and all files in it are deleted. When Vim has the setuid bit set this may cause problems, the temp file is owned by the setuid user but the filter command probably runs as the original user. On MS-Windows the first of these directories that works is used: $TMP, $TEMP, c:\TMP, c:\TEMP. For Unix the list of directories is: $TMPDIR, /tmp, current-dir, $HOME. For MS-Windows the GetTempFileName() system function is used. For other systems the tmpnam() library function is used. 4.2 Substitute :substitute :s :su :[range]s[ubstitute]/{pattern}/{string}/[flags] [count] For each line in [range] replace a match of {pattern} with {string}. For the {pattern} see \|pattern\|. {string} can be a literal string, or something special; see \|sub-replace-special\|. When [range] and [count] are omitted, replace in the current line only. When [count] is given, replace in [count] lines, starting with the last line in [range]. When [range] is omitted start in the current line. E939 [count] must be a positive number. Also see \|cmdline-ranges\|. See \|:s_flags\| for [flags]. The delimiter doesn't need to be /, see \|pattern-delimiter\|. :[range]s[ubstitute] [flags] [count] :[range]&[&][flags] [count] :& Repeat last :substitute with same search pattern and substitute string, but without the same flags. You may add [flags], see \|:s_flags\|. Note that after `:substitute` the '&' flag can't be used, it's recognized as a pattern separator. The space between `:substitute` and the 'c', 'g', 'i', 'I' and 'r' flags isn't required, but in scripts it's a good idea to keep it to avoid confusion. Also see the two and three letter commands to repeat :substitute below \|:substitute-repeat\|. :[range]~[&][flags] [count] :~ Repeat last substitute with same substitute string but with last used search pattern. This is like `:&r`. See \|:s_flags\| for [flags]. & & Synonym for `:s` (repeat last substitute). Note that the flags are not remembered, thus it might actually work differently. You can use `:&&` to keep the flags. g& g& Synonym for `:%s//~/&` (repeat last substitute with last search pattern on all lines with the same flags). For example, when you first do a substitution with `:s/pattern/repl/flags` and then `/search` for something else, `g&` will do `:%s/search/repl/flags`. Mnemonic: global substitute. :snomagic :sno :[range]sno[magic] ... Same as `:substitute`, but always use 'nomagic'. :smagic :sm :[range]sm[agic] ... Same as `:substitute`, but always use 'magic'. :s_flags The flags that you can use for the substitute commands: :&& [&] Must be the first one: Keep the flags from the previous substitute command. Examples: > :&& :s/this/that/& < Note that `:s` and `:&` don't keep the flags. [c] Confirm each substitution. Vim highlights the matching string (with \|hl-IncSearch\|). You can type: :s_c 'y' to substitute this match 'l' to substitute this match and then quit ("last") 'n' to skip this match <Esc> to quit substituting 'a' to substitute this and all remaining matches 'q' to quit substituting CTRL-E to scroll the screen up CTRL-Y to scroll the screen down If the 'edcompatible' option is on, Vim remembers the [c] flag and toggles it each time you use it, but resets it when you give a new search pattern. :s_e [e] When the search pattern fails, do not issue an error message and, in particular, continue in maps as if no error occurred. This is most useful to prevent the "No match" error from breaking a mapping. Vim does not suppress the following error messages, however: Regular expressions can't be delimited by letters \ should be followed by /, ? or & No previous substitute regular expression Trailing characters Interrupted :s_g [g] Replace all occurrences in the line. Without this argument, replacement occurs only for the first occurrence in each line. If the 'edcompatible' option is on, Vim remembers this flag and toggles it each time you use it, but resets it when you give a new search pattern. If the 'gdefault' option is on, this flag is on by default and the [g] argument switches it off. :s_i [i] Ignore case for the pattern. The 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options are not used. :s_I [I] Don't ignore case for the pattern. The 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options are not used. :s_n [n] Report the number of matches, do not actually substitute. The [c] flag is ignored. The matches are reported as if 'report' is zero. Useful to \|count-items\|. If \= \|sub-replace-expression\| is used, the expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| at every match. [p] Print the line containing the last substitute. :s_p [#] Like [p] and prepend the line number. :s_# [l] Like [p] but print the text like \|:list\|. :s_l :s_r [r] Only useful in combination with `:&` or `:s` without arguments. `:&r` works the same way as `:~`: When the search pattern is empty, use the previously used search pattern instead of the search pattern from the last substitute or `:global`. If the last command that did a search was a substitute or `:global`, there is no effect. If the last command was a search command such as "/", use the pattern from that command. For `:s` with an argument this already happens: > :s/blue/red/ /green :s//red/ or :~ or :&r < The last commands will replace "green" with "red". > :s/blue/red/ /green :& < The last command will replace "blue" with "red". Note that there is no flag to change the "magicness" of the pattern. A different command is used instead, or you can use \|/\v\| and friends. The reason is that the flags can only be found by skipping the pattern, and in order to skip the pattern the "magicness" must be known. Catch 22! If the {pattern} for the substitute command is empty, the command uses the pattern from the last substitute or `:global` command. If there is none, but there is a previous search pattern, that one is used. With the [r] flag, the command uses the pattern from the last substitute, `:global`, or search command. If the {string} is omitted the substitute is done as if it's empty. Thus the matched pattern is deleted. The separator after {pattern} can also be left out then. Example: > :%s/TESTING This deletes "TESTING" from all lines, but only one per line. For compatibility with Vi these two exceptions are allowed: "\/{string}/" and "\?{string}?" do the same as "//{string}/r". "\&{string}&" does the same as "//{string}/". pattern-delimiter E146 Instead of the '/' which surrounds the pattern and replacement string, you can use any other single-byte character, but not an alphanumeric character, '\', '"' or '\|'. This is useful if you want to include a '/' in the search pattern or replacement string. Example: > :s+/+//+ For the definition of a pattern, see \|pattern\|. In Visual block mode, use \|/\%V\| in the pattern to have the substitute work in the block only. Otherwise it works on whole lines anyway. sub-replace-special :s\= When the {string} starts with "\=" it is evaluated as an expression, see \|sub-replace-expression\|. You can use that for complex replacement or special characters. Otherwise these characters in {string} have a special meaning: :s% When {string} is equal to "%" and '/' is included with the 'cpoptions' option, then the {string} of the previous substitute command is used, see \|cpo-/\| magic nomagic action ~ & \& replaced with the whole matched pattern s/\& \& & replaced with & \0 replaced with the whole matched pattern \0 s/\0 \1 replaced with the matched pattern in the first pair of () s/\1 \2 replaced with the matched pattern in the second pair of () s/\2 .. .. s/\3 \9 replaced with the matched pattern in the ninth pair of () s/\9 ~ \~ replaced with the {string} of the previous substitute s~ \~ ~ replaced with ~ s/\~ \u next character made uppercase s/\u \U following characters made uppercase, until \E s/\U \l next character made lowercase s/\l \L following characters made lowercase, until \E s/\L \e end of \u, \U, \l and \L (NOTE: not <Esc>!) s/\e \E end of \u, \U, \l and \L s/\E <CR> split line in two at this point (Type the <CR> as CTRL-V <Enter>) s<CR> \r idem s/\r \<CR> insert a carriage-return (CTRL-M) (Type the <CR> as CTRL-V <Enter>) s/\<CR> \n insert a <NL> (<NUL> in the file) (does NOT break the line) s/\n \b insert a <BS> s/\b \t insert a <Tab> s/\t \\ insert a single backslash s/\\ \x where x is any character not mentioned above: Reserved for future expansion The special meaning is also used inside the third argument {sub} of the \|substitute()\| function with the following exceptions: - A % inserts a percent literally without regard to 'cpoptions'. - magic is always set without regard to 'magic'. - A ~ inserts a tilde literally. - <CR> and \r inserts a carriage-return (CTRL-M). - \<CR> does not have a special meaning. It's just one of \x. Examples: > :s/a\\|b/xxx\0xxx/g modifies "a b" to "xxxaxxx xxxbxxx" :s/$[abc]$$[efg]$/\2\1/g modifies "af fa bg" to "fa fa gb" :s/abcde/abc^Mde/ modifies "abcde" to "abc", "de" (two lines) :s/$/\^M/ modifies "abcde" to "abcde^M" :s/\w\+/\u\0/g modifies "bla bla" to "Bla Bla" :s/\w\+/\L\u\0/g modifies "BLA bla" to "Bla Bla" Note: "\L\u" can be used to capitalize the first letter of a word. This is not compatible with Vi and older versions of Vim, where the "\u" would cancel out the "\L". Same for "\U\l". Note: In previous versions CTRL-V was handled in a special way. Since this is not Vi compatible, this was removed. Use a backslash instead. command text result ~ :s/aa/a^Ma/ aa a<line-break>a :s/aa/a\^Ma/ aa a^Ma :s/aa/a\\^Ma/ aa a\<line-break>a (you need to type CTRL-V <CR> to get a ^M here) The numbering of "\1", "\2" etc. is done based on which "$" comes first in the pattern (going left to right). When a parentheses group matches several times, the last one will be used for "\1", "\2", etc. Example: > :s/\(\(a[a-d] $\)/\2/ modifies "aa ab x" to "ab x" The "\2" is for "$a[a-d] $". At first it matches "aa ", secondly "ab ". When using parentheses in combination with '\|', like in $[ab]$\\|$[cd]$, either the first or second pattern in parentheses did not match, so either \1 or \2 is empty. Example: > :s/$[ab]$\\|$[cd]$/\1x/g modifies "a b c d" to "ax bx x x" < :sc* :sce :scg :sci :scI :scl :scp :sg :sgc :sge :sgi :sgI :sgl :sgn :sgp :sgr :sI :si :sic :sIc :sie :sIe :sIg :sIl :sin :sIn :sIp :sip :sIr :sir :sr :src :srg :sri :srI :srl :srn :srp :substitute-repeat 2-letter and 3-letter :substitute commands ~ These commands repeat the previous `:substitute` command with the given flags. The first letter is always "s", followed by one or two of the possible flag characters. For example `:sce` works like `:s///ce`. The table lists the possible combinations, not all flags are possible, because the command is short for another command. List of :substitute commands \| c e g i I n p l r \| c :sc :sce :scg :sci :scI :scn :scp :scl \| e \| g :sgc :sge :sg :sgi :sgI :sgn :sgp :sgl :sgr \| i :sic :sie :si :siI :sin :sip :sir \| I :sIc :sIe :sIg :sIi :sI :sIn :sIp :sIl :sIr \| n \| p \| l \| r :src :srg :sri :srI :srn :srp :srl :sr Exceptions: :scr is `:scriptnames` :se is `:set` :sig is `:sign` :sil is `:silent` :sn is `:snext` :sp is `:split` :sl is `:sleep` :sre is `:srewind` Substitute with an expression sub-replace-expression sub-replace-\= s/\= When the substitute string starts with "\=" the remainder is interpreted as an expression. The special meaning for characters as mentioned at \|sub-replace-special\| does not apply except for "<CR>". A <NL> character is used as a line break, you can get one with a double-quote string: "\n". Prepend a backslash to get a real <NL> character (which will be a NUL in the file). The "\=" notation can also be used inside the third argument {sub} of \|substitute()\| function. In this case, the special meaning for characters as mentioned at \|sub-replace-special\| does not apply at all. Especially, <CR> and <NL> are interpreted not as a line break but as a carriage-return and a new-line respectively. When the result is a \|List\| then the items are joined with separating line breaks. Thus each item becomes a line, except that they can contain line breaks themselves. The \|submatch()\| function can be used to obtain matched text. The whole matched text can be accessed with "submatch(0)". The text matched with the first pair of () with "submatch(1)". Likewise for further sub-matches in (). Be careful: The separation character must not appear in the expression! Consider using a character like "@" or ":". There is no problem if the result of the expression contains the separation character. Examples: > :s@\n@\="\r" . expand("$HOME") . "\r"@ This replaces an end-of-line with a new line containing the value of $HOME. > s/E/\="\<Char-0x20ac>"/g This replaces each 'E' character with a euro sign.

When [string] is given, it is used as the initial search string. {only for Win32, Motif and GTK GUI} :promptr :promptrepl :promptr[epl] [string] Put up a Search/Replace dialog. When [string] is given, it is used as the initial search string. {only for Win32, Motif and GTK GUI} 4.4 Changing tabs change-tabs :ret :retab :retab! :[range]ret[ab][!] [new_tabstop] Replace all sequences of white-space containing a <Tab> with new strings of white-space using the new tabstop value given. If you do not specify a new tabstop size or it is zero, Vim uses the current value of 'tabstop'. The current value of 'tabstop' is always used to compute the width of existing tabs. With !, Vim also replaces strings of only normal spaces with tabs where appropriate. With 'expandtab' on, Vim replaces all tabs with the appropriate number of spaces. This command sets 'tabstop' to the new value given, and if performed on the whole file, which is default, should not make any visible change. Careful: This command modifies any <Tab> characters inside of strings in a C program. Use "\t" to avoid this (that's a good habit anyway). `:retab!` may also change a sequence of spaces by <Tab> characters, which can mess up a printf(). If the \|+vartabs\| feature is enabled then a list of tab widths separated by commas may be used in place of a single tabstop. Each value in the list represents the width of one tabstop, except the final value which applies to all following tabstops. retab-example Example for using autocommands and ":retab" to edit a file which is stored with tabstops at 8 but edited with tabstops set at 4. Warning: white space inside of strings can change! Also see 'softtabstop' option. > :auto BufReadPost .xx retab! 4 :auto BufWritePre .xx retab! 8 :auto BufWritePost .xx retab! 4 :auto BufNewFile .xx set ts=4 ============================================================================== 5. Copying and moving text copy-move quote "{register} Use {register} for next delete, yank or put. Use an uppercase character to append with delete and yank. Registers ".", "%", "#" and ":" only work with put. :reg :registers :reg[isters] Display the type and contents of all numbered and named registers. If a register is written to for \|:redir\| it will not be listed. Type can be one of: "c" for \|characterwise\| text "l" for \|linewise\| text "b" for \|blockwise-visual\| text :reg[isters] {arg} Display the contents of the numbered and named registers that are mentioned in {arg}. For example: > :reg 1a < to display registers '1' and 'a'. Spaces are allowed in {arg}. :di :display :di[splay] [arg] Same as :registers. y yank ["x]y{motion} Yank {motion} text [into register x]. When no characters are to be yanked (e.g., "y0" in column 1), this is an error when 'cpoptions' includes the 'E' flag. yy ["x]yy Yank [count] lines [into register x] \|linewise\|. Y ["x]Y yank [count] lines [into register x] (synonym for yy, \|linewise\|). If you like "Y" to work from the cursor to the end of line (which is more logical, but not Vi-compatible) use ":map Y y$". v_y {Visual}["x]y Yank the highlighted text [into register x] (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). v_Y {Visual}["x]Y Yank the highlighted lines [into register x] (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). :y :yank E850 :[range]y[ank] [x] Yank [range] lines [into register x]. Yanking to the "* or "+ registers is possible only when the \|+clipboard\| feature is included. :[range]y[ank] [x] {count} Yank {count} lines, starting with last line number in [range] (default: current line \|cmdline-ranges\|), [into register x]. p put E353 ["x]p Put the text [from register x] after the cursor [count] times. P ["x]P Put the text [from register x] before the cursor [count] times. <MiddleMouse> ["x]<MiddleMouse> Put the text from a register before the cursor [count] times. Uses the "* register, unless another is specified. Leaves the cursor at the end of the new text. Using the mouse only works when 'mouse' contains 'n' or 'a'. If you have a scrollwheel and often accidentally paste text, you can use these mappings to disable the pasting with the middle mouse button: > :map <MiddleMouse> <Nop> :imap <MiddleMouse> <Nop> < You might want to disable the multi-click versions too, see \|double-click\|. gp ["x]gp Just like "p", but leave the cursor just after the new text. gP ["x]gP Just like "P", but leave the cursor just after the new text. :pu :put :[line]pu[t] [x] Put the text [from register x] after [line] (default current line). This always works \|linewise\|, thus this command can be used to put a yanked block as new lines. If no register is specified, it depends on the 'cb' option: If 'cb' contains "unnamedplus", paste from the + register \|quoteplus\|. Otherwise, if 'cb' contains "unnamed", paste from the * register \|quotestar\|. Otherwise, paste from the unnamed register \|quote_quote\|. The register can also be '=' followed by an optional expression. The expression continues until the end of the command. You need to escape the '\|' and '"' characters to prevent them from terminating the command. Example: > :put ='path' . \",/test\" < If there is no expression after '=', Vim uses the previous expression. You can see it with ":dis =". :[line]pu[t]! [x] Put the text [from register x] before [line] (default current line). ["x]]p or ]p ]<MiddleMouse> ["x]]<MiddleMouse> Like "p", but adjust the indent to the current line. Using the mouse only works when 'mouse' contains 'n' or 'a'. ["x][P or [P ["x]]P or ]P ["x][p or [p [<MiddleMouse> ["x][<MiddleMouse> Like "P", but adjust the indent to the current line. Using the mouse only works when 'mouse' contains 'n' or 'a'. You can use these commands to copy text from one place to another. Do this by first getting the text into a register with a yank, delete or change command, then inserting the register contents with a put command. You can also use these commands to move text from one file to another, because Vim preserves all registers when changing buffers (the CTRL-^ command is a quick way to toggle between two files). linewise-register characterwise-register You can repeat the put commands with "." (except for :put) and undo them. If the command that was used to get the text into the register was \|linewise\|, Vim inserts the text below ("p") or above ("P") the line where the cursor is. Otherwise Vim inserts the text after ("p") or before ("P") the cursor. With the ":put" command, Vim always inserts the text in the next line. You can exchange two characters with the command sequence "xp". You can exchange two lines with the command sequence "ddp". You can exchange two words with the command sequence "deep" (start with the cursor in the blank space before the first word). You can use the "']" or "`]" command after the put command to move the cursor to the end of the inserted text, or use "'[" or "`[" to move the cursor to the start. put-Visual-mode v_p v_P When using a put command like \|p\| or \|P\| in Visual mode, Vim will try to replace the selected text with the contents of the register. Whether this works well depends on the type of selection and the type of the text in the register. With blockwise selection it also depends on the size of the block and whether the corners are on an existing character. (Implementation detail: it actually works by first putting the register after the selection and then deleting the selection.) The previously selected text is put in the unnamed register. If you want to put the same text into a Visual selection several times you need to use another register. E.g., yank the text to copy, Visually select the text to replace and use "0p . You can repeat this as many times as you like, the unnamed register will be changed each time. When you use a blockwise Visual mode command and yank only a single line into a register, a paste on a visual selected area will paste that single line on each of the selected lines (thus replacing the blockwise selected region by a block of the pasted line). blockwise-register If you use a blockwise Visual mode command to get the text into the register, the block of text will be inserted before ("P") or after ("p") the cursor column in the current and next lines. Vim makes the whole block of text start in the same column. Thus the inserted text looks the same as when it was yanked or deleted. Vim may replace some <Tab> characters with spaces to make this happen. However, if the width of the block is not a multiple of a <Tab> width and the text after the inserted block contains <Tab>s, that text may be misaligned. Note that after a characterwise yank command, Vim leaves the cursor on the first yanked character that is closest to the start of the buffer. This means that "yl" doesn't move the cursor, but "yh" moves the cursor one character left. Rationale: In Vi the "y" command followed by a backwards motion would sometimes not move the cursor to the first yanked character, because redisplaying was skipped. In Vim it always moves to the first character, as specified by Posix. With a linewise yank command the cursor is put in the first line, but the column is unmodified, thus it may not be on the first yanked character. There are ten types of registers: registers {register} E354 1. The unnamed register "" 2. 10 numbered registers "0 to "9 3. The small delete register "- 4. 26 named registers "a to "z or "A to "Z 5. Three read-only registers ":, "., "% 6. Alternate buffer register "# 7. The expression register "= 8. The selection and drop registers ", "+ and "~ 9. The black hole register "_ 10. Last search pattern register "/ 1. Unnamed register "" quote_quote* quotequote Vim fills this register with text deleted with the "d", "c", "s", "x" commands or copied with the yank "y" command, regardless of whether or not a specific register was used (e.g. "xdd). This is like the unnamed register is pointing to the last used register. Thus when appending using an uppercase register name, the unnamed register contains the same text as the named register. An exception is the '_' register: "_dd does not store the deleted text in any register. Vim uses the contents of the unnamed register for any put command (p or P) which does not specify a register. Additionally you can access it with the name '"'. This means you have to type two double quotes. Writing to the "" register writes to register "0. {Vi: register contents are lost when changing files, no '"'} 2. Numbered registers "0 to "9 quote_number quote0 quote1 quote2 quote3 quote4 quote9 Vim fills these registers with text from yank and delete commands. Numbered register 0 contains the text from the most recent yank command, unless the command specified another register with ["x]. Numbered register 1 contains the text deleted by the most recent delete or change command, unless the command specified another register or the text is less than one line (the small delete register is used then). An exception is made for the delete operator with these movement commands: \|%\|, \|(\|, \|)\|, \|`\|, \|/\|, \|?\|, \|n\|, \|N\|, \|{\| and \|}\|. Register "1 is always used then (this is Vi compatible). The "- register is used as well if the delete is within a line. Note that these characters may be mapped. E.g. \|%\| is mapped by the matchit plugin. With each successive deletion or change, Vim shifts the previous contents of register 1 into register 2, 2 into 3, and so forth, losing the previous contents of register 9. {Vi: numbered register contents are lost when changing files; register 0 does not exist} 3. Small delete register "- quote_- quote- This register contains text from commands that delete less than one line, except when the command specifies a register with ["x]. 4. Named registers "a to "z or "A to "Z quote_alpha quotea Vim fills these registers only when you say so. Specify them as lowercase letters to replace their previous contents or as uppercase letters to append to their previous contents. When the '>' flag is present in 'cpoptions' then a line break is inserted before the appended text. 5. Read-only registers ":, ". and "% These are '%', '#', ':' and '.'. You can use them only with the "p", "P", and ":put" commands and with CTRL-R. quote_. quote. E29 ". Contains the last inserted text (the same as what is inserted with the insert mode commands CTRL-A and CTRL-@). Note: this doesn't work with CTRL-R on the command-line. It works a bit differently, like inserting the text instead of putting it ('textwidth' and other options affect what is inserted). quote_% quote% "% Contains the name of the current file. quote_: quote: E30 ": Contains the most recent executed command-line. Example: Use "@:" to repeat the previous command-line command. The command-line is only stored in this register when at least one character of it was typed. Thus it remains unchanged if the command was completely from a mapping. {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_hist\| feature} quote_# quote# 6. Alternate file register "# Contains the name of the alternate file for the current window. It will change how the \|CTRL-^\| command works. This register is writable, mainly to allow for restoring it after a plugin has changed it. It accepts buffer number: > let altbuf = bufnr(@#) ... let @# = altbuf It will give error \|E86\| if you pass buffer number and this buffer does not exist. It can also accept a match with an existing buffer name: > let @# = 'buffer_name' Error \|E93\| if there is more than one buffer matching the given name or \|E94\| if none of buffers matches the given name. 7. Expression register "= quote_= quote= @= This is not really a register that stores text, but is a way to use an expression in commands which use a register. The expression register is read-write. When typing the '=' after " or CTRL-R the cursor moves to the command-line, where you can enter any expression (see \|expression\|). All normal command-line editing commands are available, including a special history for expressions. When you end the command-line by typing <CR>, Vim computes the result of the expression. If you end it with <Esc>, Vim abandons the expression. If you do not enter an expression, Vim uses the previous expression (like with the "/" command). The expression must evaluate to a String. A Number is always automatically converted to a String. For the "p" and ":put" command, if the result is a Float it's converted into a String. If the result is a List each element is turned into a String and used as a line. A Dictionary or FuncRef results in an error message (use string() to convert). If the "= register is used for the "p" command, the String is split up at <NL> characters. If the String ends in a <NL>, it is regarded as a linewise register. 8. Selection and drop registers ", "+ and "~ Use these registers for storing and retrieving the selected text for the GUI. See \|quotestar\| and \|quoteplus\|. When the clipboard is not available or not working, the unnamed register is used instead. For Unix systems the clipboard is only available when the \|+xterm_clipboard\| feature is present. Note that there is only a distinction between " and "+ for X11 systems. For an explanation of the difference, see \|x11-selection\|. Under MS-Windows, use of "* and "+ is actually synonymous and refers to the \|gui-clipboard\|. quote_~ quote~ <Drop> The read-only "~ register stores the dropped text from the last drag'n'drop operation. When something has been dropped onto Vim, the "~ register is filled in and the <Drop> pseudo key is sent for notification. You can remap this key if you want; the default action (for all modes) is to insert the contents of the "~ register at the cursor position. {only available when compiled with the \|+dnd\| feature, currently only with the GTK GUI} Note: The "~ register is only used when dropping plain text onto Vim. Drag'n'drop of URI lists is handled internally. 9. Black hole register "_ quote_ When writing to this register, nothing happens. This can be used to delete text without affecting the normal registers. When reading from this register, nothing is returned. 10. Last search pattern register "/ quote_/ quote/ Contains the most recent search-pattern. This is used for "n" and 'hlsearch'. It is writable with `:let`, you can change it to have 'hlsearch' highlight other matches without actually searching. You can't yank or delete into this register. The search direction is available in \|v:searchforward\|. Note that the value is restored when returning from a function \|function-search-undo\|. @/ You can write to a register with a `:let` command \|:let-@\|. Example: > :let @/ = "the" If you use a put command without specifying a register, Vim uses the register that was last filled (this is also the contents of the unnamed register). If you are confused, use the `:dis` command to find out what Vim will put (this command displays all named and numbered registers; the unnamed register is labelled '"'). The next three commands always work on whole lines. :[range]co[py] {address} :co :copy Copy the lines given by [range] to below the line given by {address}. :t :t Synonym for copy. :[range]m[ove] {address} :m :mo :move E134 Move the lines given by [range] to below the line given by {address}. ============================================================================== 6. Formatting text formatting :[range]ce[nter] [width] :ce :center Center lines in [range] between [width] columns (default 'textwidth' or 80 when 'textwidth' is 0). :[range]ri[ght] [width] :ri :right Right-align lines in [range] at [width] columns (default 'textwidth' or 80 when 'textwidth' is 0). :le :left :[range]le[ft] [indent] Left-align lines in [range]. Sets the indent in the lines to [indent] (default 0). gq gq{motion} Format the lines that {motion} moves over. Formatting is done with one of three methods: 1. If 'formatexpr' is not empty the expression is evaluated. This can differ for each buffer. 2. If 'formatprg' is not empty an external program is used. 3. Otherwise formatting is done internally. In the third case the 'textwidth' option controls the length of each formatted line (see below). If the 'textwidth' option is 0, the formatted line length is the screen width (with a maximum width of 79). The 'formatoptions' option controls the type of formatting \|fo-table\|. The cursor is left on the first non-blank of the last formatted line. NOTE: The "Q" command formerly performed this function. If you still want to use "Q" for formatting, use this mapping: > :nnoremap Q gq gqgq gqgq gqq gqq Format the current line. With a count format that many lines. v_gq {Visual}gq Format the highlighted text. (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). gw gw{motion} Format the lines that {motion} moves over. Similar to \|gq\| but puts the cursor back at the same position in the text. However, 'formatprg' and 'formatexpr' are not used. gwgw gwgw gww gww Format the current line as with "gw". v_gw {Visual}gw Format the highlighted text as with "gw". (for {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|). Example: To format the current paragraph use: gqap > gqap The "gq" command leaves the cursor in the line where the motion command takes the cursor. This allows you to repeat formatting repeated with ".". This works well with "gqj" (format current and next line) and "gq}" (format until end of paragraph). Note: When 'formatprg' is set, "gq" leaves the cursor on the first formatted line (as with using a filter command). If you want to format the current paragraph and continue where you were, use: > gwap If you always want to keep paragraphs formatted you may want to add the 'a' flag to 'formatoptions'. See \|auto-format\|. If the 'autoindent' option is on, Vim uses the indent of the first line for the following lines. Formatting does not change empty lines (but it does change lines with only white space!). The 'joinspaces' option is used when lines are joined together. You can set the 'formatexpr' option to an expression or the 'formatprg' option to the name of an external program for Vim to use for text formatting. The 'textwidth' and other options have no effect on formatting by an external program. format-formatexpr The 'formatexpr' option can be set to a Vim script function that performs reformatting of the buffer. This should usually happen in an \|ftplugin\|, since formatting is highly dependent on the type of file. It makes sense to use an \|autoload\| script, so the corresponding script is only loaded when actually needed and the script should be called <filetype>format.vim. For example, the XML filetype plugin distributed with Vim in the $VIMRUNTIME directory, sets the 'formatexpr' option to: > setlocal formatexpr=xmlformat#Format() That means, you will find the corresponding script, defining the xmlformat#Format() function, in the directory: `$VIMRUNTIME/autoload/xmlformat.vim` Here is an example script that removes trailing whitespace from the selected text. Put it in your autoload directory, e.g. ~/.vim/autoload/format.vim: > func! format#Format() " only reformat on explicit gq command if mode() != 'n' " fall back to Vim's internal reformatting return 1 endif let lines = getline(v:lnum, v:lnum + v:count - 1) call map(lines, {key, val -> substitute(val, '\s\+$', '', 'g')}) call setline('.', lines) " do not run internal formatter! return 0 endfunc You can then enable the formatting by executing: > setlocal formatexpr=format#Format() Note: this function explicitly returns non-zero when called from insert mode (which basically means, text is inserted beyond the 'textwidth' limit). This causes Vim to fall back to reformat the text by using the internal formatter. However, if the \|gq\| command is used to reformat the text, the function will receive the selected lines, trim trailing whitespace from those lines and put them back in place. If you are going to split single lines into multiple lines, be careful not to overwrite anything. If you want to allow reformatting of text from insert or replace mode, one has to be very careful, because the function might be called recursively. For debugging it helps to set the 'debug' option. right-justify There is no command in Vim to right justify text. You can do it with an external command, like "par" (e.g.: "!}par" to format until the end of the paragraph) or set 'formatprg' to "par". format-comments An overview of comment formatting is in section \|30.6\| of the user manual. Vim can automatically insert and format comments in a special way. Vim recognizes a comment by a specific string at the start of the line (ignoring white space). Three types of comments can be used: - A comment string that repeats at the start of each line. An example is the type of comment used in shell scripts, starting with "#". - A comment string that occurs only in the first line, not in the following lines. An example is this list with dashes. - Three-piece comments that have a start string, an end string, and optional lines in between. The strings for the start, middle and end are different. An example is the C style comment: /* * this is a C comment / The 'comments' option is a comma-separated list of parts. Each part defines a type of comment string. A part consists of: {flags}:{string} {string} is the literal text that must appear. {flags}: n Nested comment. Nesting with mixed parts is allowed. If 'comments' is "n:),n:>" a line starting with "> ) >" is a comment. b Blank (<Space>, <Tab> or <EOL>) required after {string}. f Only the first line has the comment string. Do not repeat comment on the next line, but preserve indentation (e.g., a bullet-list). s Start of three-piece comment m Middle of a three-piece comment e End of a three-piece comment l Left align. Used together with 's' or 'e', the leftmost character of start or end will line up with the leftmost character from the middle. This is the default and can be omitted. See below for more details. r Right align. Same as above but rightmost instead of leftmost. See below for more details. O Don't consider this comment for the "O" command. x Allows three-piece comments to be ended by just typing the last character of the end-comment string as the first action on a new line when the middle-comment string has been inserted automatically. See below for more details. {digits} When together with 's' or 'e': add {digit} amount of offset to an automatically inserted middle or end comment leader. The offset begins from a left alignment. See below for more details. -{digits} Like {digits} but reduce the indent. This only works when there is some indent for the start or end part that can be removed. When a string has none of the 'f', 's', 'm' or 'e' flags, Vim assumes the comment string repeats at the start of each line. The flags field may be empty. Any blank space in the text before and after the {string} is part of the {string}, so do not include leading or trailing blanks unless the blanks are a required part of the comment string. When one comment leader is part of another, specify the part after the whole. For example, to include both "-" and "->", use > :set comments=f:->,f:- A three-piece comment must always be given as start,middle,end, with no other parts in between. An example of a three-piece comment is > sr:/,mb:,ex:/ for C-comments. To avoid recognizing "ptr" as a comment, the middle string includes the 'b' flag. For three-piece comments, Vim checks the text after the start and middle strings for the end string. If Vim finds the end string, the comment does not continue on the next line. Three-piece comments must have a middle string because otherwise Vim can't recognize the middle lines. Notice the use of the "x" flag in the above three-piece comment definition. When you hit Return in a C-comment, Vim will insert the middle comment leader for the new line: " ". To close this comment you just have to type "/" before typing anything else on the new line. This will replace the middle-comment leader with the end-comment leader and apply any specified alignment, leaving just " /". There is no need to hit Backspace first. When there is a match with a middle part, but there also is a matching end part which is longer, the end part is used. This makes a C style comment work without requiring the middle part to end with a space. Here is an example of alignment flags at work to make a comment stand out (kind of looks like a 1 too). Consider comment string: > :set comments=sr:/,m:,ex-2:****/ < /* ~ <--right aligned from "r" flag ~ ~ offset 2 spaces for the "-2" flag---> ~ ***/ ~ In this case, the first comment was typed, then return was pressed 4 times, then "/" was pressed to end the comment. Here are some finer points of three part comments. There are three times when alignment and offset flags are taken into consideration: opening a new line after a start-comment, opening a new line before an end-comment, and automatically ending a three-piece comment. The end alignment flag has a backwards perspective; the result is that the same alignment flag used with "s" and "e" will result in the same indent for the starting and ending pieces. Only one alignment per comment part is meant to be used, but an offset number will override the "r" and "l" flag. Enabling 'cindent' will override the alignment flags in many cases. Reindenting using a different method like \|gq\| or \|=\| will not consult alignment flags either. The same behaviour can be defined in those other formatting options. One consideration is that 'cindent' has additional options for context based indenting of comments but cannot replicate many three piece indent alignments. However, 'indentexpr' has the ability to work better with three piece comments. Other examples: > "b:" Includes lines starting with "", but not if the "" is followed by a non-blank. This avoids a pointer dereference like "str" to be recognized as a comment. "n:>" Includes a line starting with ">", ">>", ">>>", etc. "fb:-" Format a list that starts with "- ". By default, "b:#" is included. This means that a line that starts with "#include" is not recognized as a comment line. But a line that starts with "# define" is recognized. This is a compromise. fo-table* You can use the 'formatoptions' option to influence how Vim formats text. 'formatoptions' is a string that can contain any of the letters below. The default setting is "tcq". You can separate the option letters with commas for readability. letter meaning when present in 'formatoptions' ~ fo-t t Auto-wrap text using textwidth fo-c c Auto-wrap comments using textwidth, inserting the current comment leader automatically. fo-r r Automatically insert the current comment leader after hitting <Enter> in Insert mode. fo-o o Automatically insert the current comment leader after hitting 'o' or 'O' in Normal mode. fo-q q Allow formatting of comments with "gq". Note that formatting will not change blank lines or lines containing only the comment leader. A new paragraph starts after such a line, or when the comment leader changes. fo-w w Trailing white space indicates a paragraph continues in the next line. A line that ends in a non-white character ends a paragraph. fo-a a Automatic formatting of paragraphs. Every time text is inserted or deleted the paragraph will be reformatted. See \|auto-format\|. When the 'c' flag is present this only happens for recognized comments. fo-n n When formatting text, recognize numbered lists. This actually uses the 'formatlistpat' option, thus any kind of list can be used. The indent of the text after the number is used for the next line. The default is to find a number, optionally followed by '.', ':', ')', ']' or '}'. Note that 'autoindent' must be set too. Doesn't work well together with "2". Example: > 1. the first item wraps 2. the second item < fo-2 2 When formatting text, use the indent of the second line of a paragraph for the rest of the paragraph, instead of the indent of the first line. This supports paragraphs in which the first line has a different indent than the rest. Note that 'autoindent' must be set too. Example: > first line of a paragraph second line of the same paragraph third line. < This also works inside comments, ignoring the comment leader. fo-v v Vi-compatible auto-wrapping in insert mode: Only break a line at a blank that you have entered during the current insert command. (Note: this is not 100% Vi compatible. Vi has some "unexpected features" or bugs in this area. It uses the screen column instead of the line column.) fo-b b Like 'v', but only auto-wrap if you enter a blank at or before the wrap margin. If the line was longer than 'textwidth' when you started the insert, or you do not enter a blank in the insert before reaching 'textwidth', Vim does not perform auto-wrapping. fo-l l Long lines are not broken in insert mode: When a line was longer than 'textwidth' when the insert command started, Vim does not automatically format it. fo-m m Also break at a multibyte character above 255. This is useful for Asian text where every character is a word on its own. fo-M M When joining lines, don't insert a space before or after a multibyte character. Overrules the 'B' flag. fo-B B When joining lines, don't insert a space between two multibyte characters. Overruled by the 'M' flag. fo-1 1 Don't break a line after a one-letter word. It's broken before it instead (if possible). fo-] ] Respect textwidth rigorously. With this flag set, no line can be longer than textwidth, unless line-break-prohibition rules make this impossible. Mainly for CJK scripts and works only if 'encoding' is "utf-8". fo-j j Where it makes sense, remove a comment leader when joining lines. For example, joining: int i; // the index ~ // in the list ~ Becomes: int i; // the index in the list ~ fo-p p Don't break lines at single spaces that follow periods. This is intended to complement 'joinspaces' and \|cpo-J\|, for prose with sentences separated by two spaces. For example, with 'textwidth' set to 28: > Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman! < Becomes: > Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman! < Instead of: > Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman! With 't' and 'c' you can specify when Vim performs auto-wrapping: value action ~ "" no automatic formatting (you can use "gq" for manual formatting) "t" automatic formatting of text, but not comments "c" automatic formatting for comments, but not text (good for C code) "tc" automatic formatting for text and comments Note that when 'textwidth' is 0, Vim does no automatic formatting anyway (but does insert comment leaders according to the 'comments' option). An exception is when the 'a' flag is present. \|auto-format\| Note that when 'paste' is on, Vim does no formatting at all. Note that 'textwidth' can be non-zero even if Vim never performs auto-wrapping; 'textwidth' is still useful for formatting with "gq". If the 'comments' option includes "/", "" and/or "/", then Vim has some built in stuff to treat these types of comments a bit more cleverly. Opening a new line before or after "/" or "/" (with 'r' or 'o' present in 'formatoptions') gives the correct start of the line automatically. The same happens with formatting and auto-wrapping. Opening a line after a line starting with "/" or "" and containing "/", will cause no comment leader to be inserted, and the indent of the new line is taken from the line containing the start of the comment. E.g.: /* ~ * Your typical comment. ~ / ~ The indent on this line is the same as the start of the above comment. All of this should be really cool, especially in conjunction with the new :autocmd command to prepare different settings for different types of file. Some examples: for C code (only format comments): > :set fo=croq < for Mail/news (format all, don't start comment with "o" command): > :set fo=tcrq < Automatic formatting auto-format* autoformat When the 'a' flag is present in 'formatoptions' text is formatted automatically when inserting text or deleting text. This works nicely for editing text paragraphs. A few hints on how to use this: - You need to properly define paragraphs. The simplest is paragraphs that are separated by a blank line. When there is no separating blank line, consider using the 'w' flag and adding a space at the end of each line in the paragraphs except the last one. - You can set the 'formatoptions' based on the type of file \|filetype\| or specifically for one file with a \|modeline\|. - Set 'formatoptions' to "aw2tq" to make text with indents like this: bla bla foobar bla bla foobar bla foobar bla bla bla foobar bla bla foobar bla bla foobar - Add the 'c' flag to only auto-format comments. Useful in source code. - Set 'textwidth' to the desired width. If it is zero then 79 is used, or the width of the screen if this is smaller. And a few warnings: - When part of the text is not properly separated in paragraphs, making changes in this text will cause it to be formatted anyway. Consider doing > :set fo-=a - When using the 'w' flag (trailing space means paragraph continues) and deleting the last line of a paragraph with \|dd\|, the paragraph will be joined with the next one. - Changed text is saved for undo. Formatting is also a change. Thus each format action saves text for undo. This may consume quite a lot of memory. - Formatting a long paragraph and/or with complicated indenting may be slow. ============================================================================== 7. Sorting text sorting Vim has a sorting function and a sorting command. The sorting function can be found here: \|sort()\|, \|uniq()\|. :sor :sort :[range]sor[t][!] [b][f][i][l][n][o][r][u][x] [/{pattern}/] Sort lines in [range]. When no range is given all lines are sorted. With [!] the order is reversed. With [i] case is ignored. With [l] sort uses the current collation locale. Implementation details: strcoll() is used to compare strings. See \|:language\| to check or set the collation locale. Example: > :language collate en_US.UTF-8 :%sort l < \|v:collate\| can also used to check the current locale. Sorting using the locale typically ignores case. This does not work properly on Mac. Options [n][f][x][o][b] are mutually exclusive. With [n] sorting is done on the first decimal number in the line (after or inside a {pattern} match). One leading '-' is included in the number. With [f] sorting is done on the Float in the line. The value of Float is determined similar to passing the text (after or inside a {pattern} match) to str2float() function. This option is available only if Vim was compiled with Floating point support. With [x] sorting is done on the first hexadecimal number in the line (after or inside a {pattern} match). A leading "0x" or "0X" is ignored. One leading '-' is included in the number. With [o] sorting is done on the first octal number in the line (after or inside a {pattern} match). With [b] sorting is done on the first binary number in the line (after or inside a {pattern} match). With [u] (u stands for unique) only keep the first of a sequence of identical lines (ignoring case when [i] is used). Without this flag, a sequence of identical lines will be kept in their original order. Note that leading and trailing white space may cause lines to be different. When /{pattern}/ is specified and there is no [r] flag the text matched with {pattern} is skipped, so that you sort on what comes after the match. 'ignorecase' applies to the pattern, but 'smartcase' is not used. Instead of the slash any non-letter can be used. For example, to sort on the second comma-separated field: > :sort /[^,],/ < To sort on the text at virtual column 10 (thus ignoring the difference between tabs and spaces): > :sort /.\%10v/ < To sort on the first number in the line, no matter what is in front of it: > :sort /.\{-}\ze\d/ < (Explanation: ".\{-}" matches any text, "\ze" sets the end of the match and \d matches a digit.) With [r] sorting is done on the matching {pattern} instead of skipping past it as described above. For example, to sort on only the first three letters of each line: > :sort /\a\a\a/ r < If a {pattern} is used, any lines which don't have a match for {pattern} are kept in their current order, but separate from the lines which do match {pattern}. If you sorted in reverse, they will be in reverse order after the sorted lines, otherwise they will be in their original order, right before the sorted lines. If {pattern} is empty (e.g. // is specified), the last search pattern is used. This allows trying out a pattern first. Note that using `:sort` with `:global` doesn't sort the matching lines, it's quite useless. `:sort` does not use the current locale unless the l flag is used. Vim does do a "stable" sort. The sorting can be interrupted, but if you interrupt it too late in the process you may end up with duplicated lines. This also depends on the system library function used. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	76.22 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 channel.txt channel.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Oct 17 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Inter-process communication channel Vim uses channels to communicate with other processes. A channel uses a socket or pipes. socket-interface Jobs can be used to start processes and communicate with them. The Netbeans interface also uses a channel. \|netbeans\| 1. Overview \|job-channel-overview\| 2. Channel demo \|channel-demo\| 3. Opening a channel \|channel-open\| 4. Using a JSON or JS channel \|channel-use\| 5. Channel commands \|channel-commands\| 6. Using a RAW or NL channel \|channel-raw\| 7. More channel functions \|channel-more\| 8. Channel functions details \|channel-functions-details\| 9. Starting a job with a channel \|job-start\| 10.

Using a prompt buffer \|prompt-buffer\| {only when compiled with the \|+channel\| feature for channel stuff} You can check this with: `has('channel')` {only when compiled with the \|+job\| feature for job stuff} You can check this with: `has('job')` ============================================================================== 1. Overview job-channel-overview There are four main types of jobs: 1. A daemon, serving several Vim instances. Vim connects to it with a socket. 2. One job working with one Vim instance, asynchronously. Uses a socket or pipes. 3. A job performing some work for a short time, asynchronously. Uses a socket or pipes. 4. Running a filter, synchronously. Uses pipes. For when using sockets See \|job-start\|, \|job-start-nochannel\| and \|channel-open\|. For 2 and 3, one or more jobs using pipes, see \|job-start\|. For 4 use the ":{range}!cmd" command, see \|filter\|. Over the socket and pipes these protocols are available: RAW nothing known, Vim cannot tell where a message ends NL every message ends in a NL (newline) character JSON JSON encoding \|json_encode()\| JS JavaScript style JSON-like encoding \|js_encode()\| Common combination are: - Using a job connected through pipes in NL mode. E.g., to run a style checker and receive errors and warnings. - Using a daemon, connecting over a socket in JSON mode. E.g. to lookup cross-references in a database. ============================================================================== 2. Channel demo channel-demo demoserver.py This requires Python. The demo program can be found in $VIMRUNTIME/tools/demoserver.py Run it in one terminal. We will call this T1. Run Vim in another terminal. Connect to the demo server with: > let channel = ch_open('localhost:8765') In T1 you should see: === socket opened === ~ You can now send a message to the server: > echo ch_evalexpr(channel, 'hello!') The message is received in T1 and a response is sent back to Vim. You can see the raw messages in T1. What Vim sends is: [1,"hello!"] ~ And the response is: [1,"got it"] ~ The number will increase every time you send a message. The server can send a command to Vim. Type this on T1 (literally, including the quotes): ["ex","echo 'hi there'"] ~ And you should see the message in Vim. You can move the cursor a word forward: ["normal","w"] ~ To handle asynchronous communication a callback needs to be used: > func MyHandler(channel, msg) echo "from the handler: " . a:msg endfunc call ch_sendexpr(channel, 'hello!', {'callback': "MyHandler"}) Vim will not wait for a response. Now the server can send the response later and MyHandler will be invoked. Instead of giving a callback with every send call, it can also be specified when opening the channel: > call ch_close(channel) let channel = ch_open('localhost:8765', {'callback': "MyHandler"}) call ch_sendexpr(channel, 'hello!') When trying out channels it's useful to see what is going on. You can tell Vim to write lines in log file: > call ch_logfile('channellog', 'w') See \|ch_logfile()\|. ============================================================================== 3. Opening a channel channel-open To open a channel: > let channel = ch_open({address} [, {options}]) if ch_status(channel) == "open" " use the channel Use \|ch_status()\| to see if the channel could be opened. {address} has the form "hostname:port". E.g., "localhost:8765". When using an IPv6 address, enclose it within square brackets. E.g., "[2001:db8::1]:8765". {options} is a dictionary with optional entries: channel-open-options "mode" can be: channel-mode "json" - Use JSON, see below; most convenient way. Default. "js" - Use JS (JavaScript) encoding, more efficient than JSON. "nl" - Use messages that end in a NL character "raw" - Use raw messages channel-callback E921 "callback" A function that is called when a message is received that is not handled otherwise. It gets two arguments: the channel and the received message. Example: > func Handle(channel, msg) echo 'Received: ' . a:msg endfunc let channel = ch_open("localhost:8765", {"callback": "Handle"}) < When "mode" is "json" or "js" the "msg" argument is the body of the received message, converted to Vim types. When "mode" is "nl" the "msg" argument is one message, excluding the NL. When "mode" is "raw" the "msg" argument is the whole message as a string. For all callbacks: Use \|function()\| to bind it to arguments and/or a Dictionary. Or use the form "dict.function" to bind the Dictionary. Callbacks are only called at a "safe" moment, usually when Vim is waiting for the user to type a character. Vim does not use multi-threading. close_cb "close_cb" A function that is called when the channel gets closed, other than by calling ch_close(). It should be defined like this: > func MyCloseHandler(channel) < Vim will invoke callbacks that handle data before invoking close_cb, thus when this function is called no more data will be passed to the callbacks. However, if a callback causes Vim to check for messages, the close_cb may be invoked while still in the callback. The plugin must handle this somehow, it can be useful to know that no more data is coming. channel-drop "drop" Specifies when to drop messages: "auto" When there is no callback to handle a message. The "close_cb" is also considered for this. "never" All messages will be kept. channel-noblock "noblock" Same effect as \|job-noblock\|. Only matters for writing. waittime "waittime" The time to wait for the connection to be made in milliseconds. A negative number waits forever. The default is zero, don't wait, which is useful if a local server is supposed to be running already. On Unix Vim actually uses a 1 msec timeout, that is required on many systems. Use a larger value for a remote server, e.g. 10 msec at least. channel-timeout "timeout" The time to wait for a request when blocking, E.g. when using ch_evalexpr(). In milliseconds. The default is 2000 (2 seconds). When "mode" is "json" or "js" the "callback" is optional. When omitted it is only possible to receive a message after sending one. To change the channel options after opening it use \|ch_setoptions()\|. The arguments are similar to what is passed to \|ch_open()\|, but "waittime" cannot be given, since that only applies to opening the channel. For example, the handler can be added or changed: > call ch_setoptions(channel, {'callback': callback}) When "callback" is empty (zero or an empty string) the handler is removed. After a callback has been invoked Vim will update the screen and put the cursor back where it belongs. Thus the callback should not need to do `:redraw`. The timeout can be changed: > call ch_setoptions(channel, {'timeout': msec}) < channel-close E906 Once done with the channel, disconnect it like this: > call ch_close(channel) When a socket is used this will close the socket for both directions. When pipes are used (stdin/stdout/stderr) they are all closed. This might not be what you want! Stopping the job with job_stop() might be better. All readahead is discarded, callbacks will no longer be invoked. Note that a channel is closed in three stages: - The I/O ends, log message: "Closing channel". There can still be queued messages to read or callbacks to invoke. - The readahead is cleared, log message: "Clearing channel". Some variables may still reference the channel. - The channel is freed, log message: "Freeing channel". When the channel can't be opened you will get an error message. There is a difference between MS-Windows and Unix: On Unix when the port doesn't exist ch_open() fails quickly. On MS-Windows "waittime" applies. E898 E901 E902 If there is an error reading or writing a channel it will be closed. E630 E631 ============================================================================== 4. Using a JSON or JS channel channel-use If mode is JSON then a message can be sent synchronously like this: > let response = ch_evalexpr(channel, {expr}) This awaits a response from the other side. When mode is JS this works the same, except that the messages use JavaScript encoding. See \|js_encode()\| for the difference. To send a message, without handling a response or letting the channel callback handle the response: > call ch_sendexpr(channel, {expr}) To send a message and letting the response handled by a specific function, asynchronously: > call ch_sendexpr(channel, {expr}, {'callback': Handler}) Vim will match the response with the request using the message ID. Once the response is received the callback will be invoked. Further responses with the same ID will be ignored. If your server sends back multiple responses you need to send them with ID zero, they will be passed to the channel callback. The {expr} is converted to JSON and wrapped in an array. An example of the message that the receiver will get when {expr} is the string "hello": [12,"hello"] ~ The format of the JSON sent is: [{number},{expr}] In which {number} is different every time. It must be used in the response (if any): [{number},{response}] This way Vim knows which sent message matches with which received message and can call the right handler. Also when the messages arrive out of order. A newline character is terminating the JSON text. This can be used to separate the read text. For example, in Python: splitidx = read_text.find('\n') message = read_text[:splitidx] rest = read_text[splitidx + 1:] The sender must always send valid JSON to Vim. Vim can check for the end of the message by parsing the JSON. It will only accept the message if the end was received. A newline after the message is optional. When the process wants to send a message to Vim without first receiving a message, it must use the number zero: [0,{response}] Then channel handler will then get {response} converted to Vim types. If the channel does not have a handler the message is dropped. It is also possible to use ch_sendraw() and ch_evalraw() on a JSON or JS channel. The caller is then completely responsible for correct encoding and decoding. ============================================================================== 5. Channel commands channel-commands With a JSON channel the process can send commands to Vim that will be handled by Vim internally, it does not require a handler for the channel. Possible commands are: E903 E904 E905 ["redraw", {forced}] ["ex", {Ex command}] ["normal", {Normal mode command}] ["expr", {expression}, {number}] ["expr", {expression}] ["call", {func name}, {argument list}, {number}] ["call", {func name}, {argument list}] With all of these: Be careful what these commands do! You can easily interfere with what the user is doing. To avoid trouble use \|mode()\| to check that the editor is in the expected state. E.g., to send keys that must be inserted as text, not executed as a command: ["ex","if mode() == 'i' \| call feedkeys('ClassName') \| endif"] ~ Errors in these commands are normally not reported to avoid them messing up the display. If you do want to see them, set the 'verbose' option to 3 or higher. Command "redraw" ~ The other commands do not explicitly update the screen, so that you can send a sequence of commands without the cursor moving around. A redraw can happen as a side effect of some commands. You must end with the "redraw" command to show any changed text and show the cursor where it belongs. The argument is normally an empty string: ["redraw", ""] ~ To first clear the screen pass "force": ["redraw", "force"] ~ Command "ex" ~ The "ex" command is executed as any Ex command. There is no response for completion or error. You could use functions in an \|autoload\| script: ["ex","call myscript#MyFunc(arg)"] You can also use "call \|feedkeys()\|" to insert any key sequence. When there is an error a message is written to the channel log, if it exists, and v:errmsg is set to the error. Command "normal" ~ The "normal" command is executed like with ":normal!", commands are not mapped. Example to open the folds under the cursor: ["normal" "zO"] Command "expr" with response ~ The "expr" command can be used to get the result of an expression. For example, to get the number of lines in the current buffer: ["expr","line('$')", -2] ~ It will send back the result of the expression: [-2, "last line"] ~ The format is: [{number}, {result}] Here {number} is the same as what was in the request. Use a negative number to avoid confusion with message that Vim sends. Use a different number on every request to be able to match the request with the response. {result} is the result of the evaluation and is JSON encoded. If the evaluation fails or the result can't be encoded in JSON it is the string "ERROR". Command "expr" without a response ~ This command is similar to "expr" above, but does not send back any response. Example: ["expr","setline('$', ['one', 'two', 'three'])"] ~ There is no third argument in the request. Command "call" ~ This is similar to "expr", but instead of passing the whole expression as a string this passes the name of a function and a list of arguments. This avoids the conversion of the arguments to a string and escaping and concatenating them. Example: ["call", "line", ["$"], -2] ~ Leave out the fourth argument if no response is to be sent: ["call", "setline", ["$", ["one", "two", "three"]]] ~ ============================================================================== 6. Using a RAW or NL channel channel-raw If mode is RAW or NL then a message can be sent like this: > let response = ch_evalraw(channel, {string}) The {string} is sent as-is. The response will be what can be read from the channel right away. Since Vim doesn't know how to recognize the end of the message you need to take care of it yourself. The timeout applies for reading the first byte, after that it will not wait for anything more. If mode is "nl" you can send a message in a similar way. You are expected to put in the NL after each message. Thus you can also send several messages ending in a NL at once. The response will be the text up to and including the first NL. This can also be just the NL for an empty response. If no NL was read before the channel timeout an empty string is returned. To send a message, without expecting a response: > call ch_sendraw(channel, {string}) The process can send back a response, the channel handler will be called with it. To send a message and letting the response handled by a specific function, asynchronously: > call ch_sendraw(channel, {string}, {'callback': 'MyHandler'}) This {string} can also be JSON, use \|json_encode()\| to create it and \|json_decode()\| to handle a received JSON message. It is not possible to use \|ch_evalexpr()\| or \|ch_sendexpr()\| on a raw channel. A String in Vim cannot contain NUL bytes. To send or receive NUL bytes read or write from a buffer. See \|in_io-buffer\| and \|out_io-buffer\|. ============================================================================== 7. More channel functions channel-more To obtain the status of a channel: ch_status(channel). The possible results are: "fail" Failed to open the channel. "open" The channel can be used. "buffered" The channel was closed but there is data to read. "closed" The channel was closed. To obtain the job associated with a channel: ch_getjob(channel) To read one message from a channel: > let output = ch_read(channel) This uses the channel timeout. To read without a timeout, just get any message that is available: > let output = ch_read(channel, {'timeout': 0}) When no message was available then the result is v:none for a JSON or JS mode channels, an empty string for a RAW or NL channel. You can use \|ch_canread()\| to check if there is something to read. Note that when there is no callback, messages are dropped. To avoid that add a close callback to the channel. To read all output from a RAW channel that is available: > let output = ch_readraw(channel) To read the error output: > let output = ch_readraw(channel, {"part": "err"}) ch_read() and ch_readraw() use the channel timeout. When there is nothing to read within that time an empty string is returned. To specify a different timeout in msec use the "timeout" option: {"timeout": 123} ~ To read from the error output use the "part" option: {"part": "err"} ~ To read a message with a specific ID, on a JS or JSON channel: {"id": 99} ~ When no ID is specified or the ID is -1, the first message is returned. This overrules any callback waiting for this message. For a RAW channel this returns whatever is available, since Vim does not know where a message ends. For a NL channel this returns one message. For a JS or JSON channel this returns one decoded message. This includes any sequence number. ============================================================================== 8. Channel functions details channel-functions-details ch_canread({handle}) ch_canread() Return non-zero when there is something to read from {handle}. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. This is useful to read from a channel at a convenient time, e.g. from a timer. Note that messages are dropped when the channel does not have a callback. Add a close callback to avoid that. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_canread() ch_close({handle}) ch_close() Close {handle}. See \|channel-close\|. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. A close callback is not invoked. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_close() ch_close_in({handle}) ch_close_in() Close the "in" part of {handle}. See \|channel-close-in\|. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. A close callback is not invoked. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_close_in() ch_evalexpr({handle}, {expr} [, {options}]) ch_evalexpr() Send {expr} over {handle}. The {expr} is encoded according to the type of channel. The function cannot be used with a raw channel. See \|channel-use\|. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. E917 {options} must be a Dictionary. It must not have a "callback" entry. It can have a "timeout" entry to specify the timeout for this specific request. ch_evalexpr() waits for a response and returns the decoded expression. When there is an error or timeout it returns an empty string. Note that while waiting for the response, Vim handles other messages. You need to make sure this doesn't cause trouble. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_evalexpr(expr) ch_evalraw({handle}, {string} [, {options}]) ch_evalraw() Send {string} over {handle}. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. Works like \|ch_evalexpr()\|, but does not encode the request or decode the response. The caller is responsible for the correct contents. Also does not add a newline for a channel in NL mode, the caller must do that. The NL in the response is removed. Note that Vim does not know when the text received on a raw channel is complete, it may only return the first part and you need to use \|ch_readraw()\| to fetch the rest. See \|channel-use\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_evalraw(rawstring) ch_getbufnr({handle}, {what}) ch_getbufnr() Get the buffer number that {handle} is using for {what}. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. {what} can be "err" for stderr, "out" for stdout or empty for socket output. Returns -1 when there is no buffer. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_getbufnr(what) ch_getjob({channel}) ch_getjob() Get the Job associated with {channel}. If there is no job calling \|job_status()\| on the returned Job will result in "fail". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_getjob() ch_info({handle}) ch_info() Returns a Dictionary with information about {handle}. The items are: "id" number of the channel "status" "open", "buffered" or "closed", like ch_status() When opened with ch_open(): "hostname" the hostname of the address "port" the port of the address "sock_status" "open" or "closed" "sock_mode" "NL", "RAW", "JSON" or "JS" "sock_io" "socket" "sock_timeout" timeout in msec When opened with job_start(): "out_status" "open", "buffered" or "closed" "out_mode" "NL", "RAW", "JSON" or "JS" "out_io" "null", "pipe", "file" or "buffer" "out_timeout" timeout in msec "err_status" "open", "buffered" or "closed" "err_mode" "NL", "RAW", "JSON" or "JS" "err_io" "out", "null", "pipe", "file" or "buffer" "err_timeout" timeout in msec "in_status" "open" or "closed" "in_mode" "NL", "RAW", "JSON" or "JS" "in_io" "null", "pipe", "file" or "buffer" "in_timeout" timeout in msec Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_info() ch_log({msg} [, {handle}]) ch_log() Write {msg} in the channel log file, if it was opened with \|ch_logfile()\|. When {handle} is passed the channel number is used for the message. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. The Channel must be open for the channel number to be used. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > 'did something'->ch_log() ch_logfile({fname} [, {mode}]) ch_logfile() Start logging channel activity to {fname}. When {fname} is an empty string: stop logging. When {mode} is omitted or "a" append to the file. When {mode} is "w" start with an empty file. Use \|ch_log()\| to write log messages. The file is flushed after every message, on Unix you can use "tail -f" to see what is going on in real time. To enable the log very early, to see what is received from a terminal during startup, use \|--cmd\|: > vim --cmd "call ch_logfile('logfile', 'w')" < This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. NOTE: the channel communication is stored in the file, be aware that this may contain confidential and privacy sensitive information, e.g. a password you type in a terminal window. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > 'logfile'->ch_logfile('w') ch_open({address} [, {options}]) ch_open() Open a channel to {address}. See \|channel\|. Returns a Channel. Use \|ch_status()\| to check for failure. {address} has the form "hostname:port", e.g., "localhost:8765". When using an IPv6 address, enclose it within square brackets. E.g., "[2001:db8::1]:8765". If {options} is given it must be a \|Dictionary\|. See \|channel-open-options\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetAddress()->ch_open() ch_read({handle} [, {options}]) ch_read() Read from {handle} and return the received message. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. For a NL channel this waits for a NL to arrive, except when there is nothing more to read (channel was closed). See \|channel-more\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_read() ch_readblob({handle} [, {options}]) ch_readblob() Like ch_read() but reads binary data and returns a \|Blob\|. See \|channel-more\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_readblob() ch_readraw({handle} [, {options}]) ch_readraw() Like ch_read() but for a JS and JSON channel does not decode the message. For a NL channel it does not block waiting for the NL to arrive, but otherwise works like ch_read(). See \|channel-more\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_readraw() ch_sendexpr({handle}, {expr} [, {options}]) ch_sendexpr() Send {expr} over {handle}. The {expr} is encoded according to the type of channel. The function cannot be used with a raw channel. See \|channel-use\|. E912 {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_sendexpr(expr) ch_sendraw({handle}, {expr} [, {options}]) ch_sendraw() Send \|String\| or \|Blob\| {expr} over {handle}. Works like \|ch_sendexpr()\|, but does not encode the request or decode the response. The caller is responsible for the correct contents. Also does not add a newline for a channel in NL mode, the caller must do that. The NL in the response is removed. See \|channel-use\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_sendraw(rawexpr) ch_setoptions({handle}, {options}) ch_setoptions() Set options on {handle}: "callback" the channel callback "timeout" default read timeout in msec "mode" mode for the whole channel See \|ch_open()\| for more explanation. {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. Note that changing the mode may cause queued messages to be lost. These options cannot be changed: "waittime" only applies to \|ch_open()\| Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_setoptions(options) ch_status({handle} [, {options}]) ch_status() Return the status of {handle}: "fail" failed to open the channel "open" channel can be used "buffered" channel can be read, not written to "closed" channel can not be used {handle} can be a Channel or a Job that has a Channel. "buffered" is used when the channel was closed but there is still data that can be obtained with \|ch_read()\|. If {options} is given it can contain a "part" entry to specify the part of the channel to return the status for: "out" or "err". For example, to get the error status: > ch_status(job, {"part": "err"}) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChannel()->ch_status() ============================================================================== 9. Starting a job with a channel job-start job To start a job and open a channel for stdin/stdout/stderr: > let job = job_start(command, {options}) You can get the channel with: > let channel = job_getchannel(job) The channel will use NL mode. If you want another mode it's best to specify this in {options}. When changing the mode later some text may have already been received and not parsed correctly. If the command produces a line of output that you want to deal with, specify a handler for stdout: > let job = job_start(command, {"out_cb": "MyHandler"}) The function will be called with the channel and a message. You would define it like this: > func MyHandler(channel, msg) Without the handler you need to read the output with \|ch_read()\| or \|ch_readraw()\|. You can do this in the close callback, see \|read-in-close-cb\|. Note that if the job exits before you read the output, the output may be lost. This depends on the system (on Unix this happens because closing the write end of a pipe causes the read end to get EOF). To avoid this make the job sleep for a short while before it exits. The handler defined for "out_cb" will not receive stderr. If you want to handle that separately, add an "err_cb" handler: > let job = job_start(command, {"out_cb": "MyHandler", \ "err_cb": "ErrHandler"}) If you want to handle both stderr and stdout with one handler use the "callback" option: > let job = job_start(command, {"callback": "MyHandler"}) Depending on the system, starting a job can put Vim in the background, the started job gets the focus. To avoid that, use the `foreground()` function. This might not always work when called early, put in the callback handler or use a timer to call it after the job has started. You can send a message to the command with ch_evalraw(). If the channel is in JSON or JS mode you can use ch_evalexpr(). There are several options you can use, see \|job-options\|. For example, to start a job and write its output in buffer "dummy": > let logjob = job_start("tail -f /tmp/log", \ {'out_io': 'buffer', 'out_name': 'dummy'}) sbuf dummy Job input from a buffer ~ in_io-buffer To run a job that reads from a buffer: > let job = job_start({command}, \ {'in_io': 'buffer', 'in_name': 'mybuffer'}) < E915 E918 The buffer is found by name, similar to \|bufnr()\|. The buffer must exist and be loaded when job_start() is called. By default this reads the whole buffer. This can be changed with the "in_top" and "in_bot" options. A special mode is when "in_top" is set to zero and "in_bot" is not set: Every time a line is added to the buffer, the last-but-one line will be sent to the job stdin. This allows for editing the last line and sending it when pressing Enter. channel-close-in When not using the special mode the pipe or socket will be closed after the last line has been written. This signals the reading end that the input finished. You can also use \|ch_close_in()\| to close it sooner. NUL bytes in the text will be passed to the job (internally Vim stores these as NL bytes). Reading job output in the close callback ~ read-in-close-cb If the job can take some time and you don't need intermediate results, you can add a close callback and read the output there: > func! CloseHandler(channel) while ch_status(a:channel, {'part': 'out'}) == 'buffered' echomsg ch_read(a:channel) endwhile endfunc let job = job_start(command, {'close_cb': 'CloseHandler'}) You will want to do something more useful than "echomsg". ============================================================================== 10. Starting a job without a channel job-start-nochannel To start another process without creating a channel: > let job = job_start(command, \ {"in_io": "null", "out_io": "null", "err_io": "null"}) This starts {command} in the background, Vim does not wait for it to finish. When Vim sees that neither stdin, stdout or stderr are connected, no channel will be created. Often you will want to include redirection in the command to avoid it getting stuck. There are several options you can use, see \|job-options\|. job-start-if-needed To start a job only when connecting to an address does not work, do something like this: > let channel = ch_open(address, {"waittime": 0}) if ch_status(channel) == "fail" let job = job_start(command) let channel = ch_open(address, {"waittime": 1000}) endif Note that the waittime for ch_open() gives the job one second to make the port available. ============================================================================== 11. Job functions job-functions-details job_getchannel({job}) job_getchannel() Get the channel handle that {job} is using. To check if the job has no channel: > if string(job_getchannel()) == 'channel fail' < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetJob()->job_getchannel() job_info([{job}]) job_info() Returns a Dictionary with information about {job}: "status" what \|job_status()\| returns "channel" what \|job_getchannel()\| returns "cmd" List of command arguments used to start the job "process" process ID "tty_in" terminal input name, empty when none "tty_out" terminal output name, empty when none "exitval" only valid when "status" is "dead" "exit_cb" function to be called on exit "stoponexit" \|job-stoponexit\| Only in Unix: "termsig" the signal which terminated the process (See \|job_stop()\| for the values) only valid when "status" is "dead" Only in MS-Windows: "tty_type" Type of virtual console in use. Values are "winpty" or "conpty". See 'termwintype'. Without any arguments, returns a List with all Job objects. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetJob()->job_info() job_setoptions({job}, {options}) job_setoptions() Change options for {job}. Supported are: "stoponexit" \|job-stoponexit\| "exit_cb" \|job-exit_cb\| Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetJob()->job_setoptions(options) job_start({command} [, {options}]) job_start() Start a job and return a Job object. Unlike \|system()\| and \|:!cmd\| this does not wait for the job to finish. To start a job in a terminal window see \|term_start()\|. If the job fails to start then \|job_status()\| on the returned Job object results in "fail" and none of the callbacks will be invoked. {command} can be a String. This works best on MS-Windows. On Unix it is split up in white-separated parts to be passed to execvp(). Arguments in double quotes can contain white space. {command} can be a List, where the first item is the executable and further items are the arguments. All items are converted to String. This works best on Unix. On MS-Windows, job_start() makes a GUI application hidden. If want to show it, Use \|:!start\| instead. The command is executed directly, not through a shell, the 'shell' option is not used. To use the shell: > let job = job_start(["/bin/sh", "-c", "echo hello"]) < Or: > let job = job_start('/bin/sh -c "echo hello"') < Note that this will start two processes, the shell and the command it executes. If you don't want this use the "exec" shell command. On Unix $PATH is used to search for the executable only when the command does not contain a slash. The job will use the same terminal as Vim. If it reads from stdin the job and Vim will be fighting over input, that doesn't work. Redirect stdin and stdout to avoid problems: > let job = job_start(['sh', '-c', "myserver </dev/null >/dev/null"]) < The returned Job object can be used to get the status with \|job_status()\| and stop the job with \|job_stop()\|. Note that the job object will be deleted if there are no references to it. This closes the stdin and stderr, which may cause the job to fail with an error. To avoid this keep a reference to the job. Thus instead of: > call job_start('my-command') < use: > let myjob = job_start('my-command') < and unlet "myjob" once the job is not needed or is past the point where it would fail (e.g. when it prints a message on startup). Keep in mind that variables local to a function will cease to exist if the function returns. Use a script-local variable if needed: > let s:myjob = job_start('my-command') < {options} must be a Dictionary. It can contain many optional items, see \|job-options\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > BuildCommand()->job_start() job_status({job}) job_status() E916 Returns a String with the status of {job}: "run" job is running "fail" job failed to start "dead" job died or was stopped after running On Unix a non-existing command results in "dead" instead of "fail", because a fork happens before the failure can be detected. If in Vim9 script a variable is declared with type "job" but never assigned to, passing that variable to job_status() returns "fail". If an exit callback was set with the "exit_cb" option and the job is now detected to be "dead" the callback will be invoked. For more information see \|job_info()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetJob()->job_status() job_stop({job} [, {how}]) job_stop() Stop the {job}. This can also be used to signal the job. When {how} is omitted or is "term" the job will be terminated. For Unix SIGTERM is sent. On MS-Windows the job will be terminated forcedly (there is no "gentle" way). This goes to the process group, thus children may also be affected. Effect for Unix: "term" SIGTERM (default) "hup" SIGHUP "quit" SIGQUIT "int" SIGINT "kill" SIGKILL (strongest way to stop) number signal with that number Effect for MS-Windows: "term" terminate process forcedly (default) "hup" CTRL_BREAK "quit" CTRL_BREAK "int" CTRL_C "kill" terminate process forcedly Others CTRL_BREAK On Unix the signal is sent to the process group. This means that when the job is "sh -c command" it affects both the shell and the command. The result is a Number: 1 if the operation could be executed, 0 if "how" is not supported on the system. Note that even when the operation was executed, whether the job was actually stopped needs to be checked with \|job_status()\|. If the status of the job is "dead", the signal will not be sent. This is to avoid to stop the wrong job (esp. on Unix, where process numbers are recycled). When using "kill" Vim will assume the job will die and close the channel. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetJob()->job_stop() ============================================================================== 12. Job options job-options The {options} argument in job_start() is a dictionary. All entries are optional. Some options can be used after the job has started, using job_setoptions(job, {options}). Many options can be used with the channel related to the job, using ch_setoptions(channel, {options}). See \|job_setoptions()\| and \|ch_setoptions()\|. in_mode out_mode err_mode "in_mode" mode specifically for stdin, only when using pipes "out_mode" mode specifically for stdout, only when using pipes "err_mode" mode specifically for stderr, only when using pipes See \|channel-mode\| for the values. Note: when setting "mode" the part specific mode is overwritten. Therefore set "mode" first and the part specific mode later. Note: when writing to a file or buffer and when reading from a buffer NL mode is used by default. job-noblock "noblock": 1 When writing use a non-blocking write call. This avoids getting stuck if Vim should handle other messages in between, e.g. when a job sends back data to Vim. It implies that when `ch_sendraw()` returns not all data may have been written yet. This option was added in patch 8.1.0350, test with: > if has("patch-8.1.350") let options['noblock'] = 1 endif < job-callback "callback": handler Callback for something to read on any part of the channel. job-out_cb out_cb "out_cb": handler Callback for when there is something to read on stdout. Only for when the channel uses pipes. When "out_cb" wasn't set the channel callback is used. The two arguments are the channel and the message. job-err_cb err_cb "err_cb": handler Callback for when there is something to read on stderr. Only for when the channel uses pipes. When "err_cb" wasn't set the channel callback is used. The two arguments are the channel and the message. job-close_cb "close_cb": handler Callback for when the channel is closed. Same as "close_cb" on \|ch_open()\|, see \|close_cb\|. job-drop "drop": when Specifies when to drop messages. Same as "drop" on \|ch_open()\|, see \|channel-drop\|. For "auto" the exit_cb is not considered. job-exit_cb "exit_cb": handler Callback for when the job ends. The arguments are the job and the exit status. Vim checks up to 10 times per second for jobs that ended. The check can also be triggered by calling \|job_status()\|, which may then invoke the exit_cb handler. Note that data can be buffered, callbacks may still be called after the process ends. job-timeout "timeout": time The time to wait for a request when blocking, E.g. when using ch_evalexpr(). In milliseconds. The default is 2000 (2 seconds). out_timeout err_timeout "out_timeout": time Timeout for stdout. Only when using pipes. "err_timeout": time Timeout for stderr. Only when using pipes. Note: when setting "timeout" the part specific mode is overwritten. Therefore set "timeout" first and the part specific mode later. job-stoponexit "stoponexit": {signal} Send {signal} to the job when Vim exits. See \|job_stop()\| for possible values. "stoponexit": "" Do not stop the job when Vim exits. The default is "term". job-term "term": "open" Start a terminal in a new window and connect the job stdin/stdout/stderr to it. Similar to using `:terminal`. NOTE: Not implemented yet! "channel": {channel} Use an existing channel instead of creating a new one. The parts of the channel that get used for the new job will be disconnected from what they were used before. If the channel was still used by another job this may cause I/O errors. Existing callbacks and other settings remain. "pty": 1 Use a pty (pseudo-tty) instead of a pipe when possible. This is most useful in combination with a terminal window, see \|terminal\|. {only on Unix and Unix-like systems} job-in_io in_top in_bot in_name in_buf "in_io": "null" disconnect stdin (read from /dev/null) "in_io": "pipe" stdin is connected to the channel (default) "in_io": "file" stdin reads from a file "in_io": "buffer" stdin reads from a buffer "in_top": number when using "buffer": first line to send (default: 1) "in_bot": number when using "buffer": last line to send (default: last) "in_name": "/path/file" the name of the file or buffer to read from "in_buf": number the number of the buffer to read from job-out_io out_name out_buf "out_io": "null" disconnect stdout (goes to /dev/null) "out_io": "pipe" stdout is connected to the channel (default) "out_io": "file" stdout writes to a file "out_io": "buffer" stdout appends to a buffer (see below) "out_name": "/path/file" the name of the file or buffer to write to "out_buf": number the number of the buffer to write to "out_modifiable": 0 when writing to a buffer, 'modifiable' will be off (see below) "out_msg": 0 when writing to a new buffer, the first line will be set to "Reading from channel output..." job-err_io err_name err_buf "err_io": "out" stderr messages to go to stdout "err_io": "null" disconnect stderr (goes to /dev/null) "err_io": "pipe" stderr is connected to the channel (default) "err_io": "file" stderr writes to a file "err_io": "buffer" stderr appends to a buffer (see below) "err_name": "/path/file" the name of the file or buffer to write to "err_buf": number the number of the buffer to write to "err_modifiable": 0 when writing to a buffer, 'modifiable' will be off (see below) "err_msg": 0 when writing to a new buffer, the first line will be set to "Reading from channel error..." "block_write": number only for testing: pretend every other write to stdin will block "env": dict environment variables for the new process "cwd": "/path/to/dir" current working directory for the new process; if the directory does not exist an error is given Writing to a buffer ~ out_io-buffer When the out_io or err_io mode is "buffer" and there is a callback, the text is appended to the buffer before invoking the callback. When a buffer is used both for input and output, the output lines are put above the last line, since the last line is what is written to the channel input. Otherwise lines are appended below the last line. When using JS or JSON mode with "buffer", only messages with zero or negative ID will be added to the buffer, after decoding + encoding. Messages with a positive number will be handled by a callback, commands are handled as usual. The name of the buffer from "out_name" or "err_name" is compared the full name of existing buffers, also after expanding the name for the current directory. E.g., when a buffer was created with ":edit somename" and the buffer name is "somename" it will use that buffer. If there is no matching buffer a new buffer is created. Use an empty name to always create a new buffer. \|ch_getbufnr()\| can then be used to get the buffer number. For a new buffer 'buftype' is set to "nofile" and 'bufhidden' to "hide". If you prefer other settings, create the buffer first and pass the buffer number. out_modifiable err_modifiable The "out_modifiable" and "err_modifiable" options can be used to set the 'modifiable' option off, or write to a buffer that has 'modifiable' off. That means that lines will be appended to the buffer, but the user can't easily change the buffer. out_msg err_msg The "out_msg" option can be used to specify whether a new buffer will have the first line set to "Reading from channel output...". The default is to add the message. "err_msg" does the same for channel error. When an existing buffer is to be written where 'modifiable' is off and the "out_modifiable" or "err_modifiable" options is not zero, an error is given and the buffer will not be written to. When the buffer written to is displayed in a window and the cursor is in the first column of the last line, the cursor will be moved to the newly added line and the window is scrolled up to show the cursor if needed. Undo is synced for every added line. NUL bytes are accepted (internally Vim stores these as NL bytes). Writing to a file ~ E920 The file is created with permissions 600 (read-write for the user, not accessible for others). Use \|setfperm()\| to change this. If the file already exists it is truncated. ============================================================================== 13. Controlling a job job-control To get the status of a job: > echo job_status(job) To make a job stop running: > job_stop(job) This is the normal way to end a job. On Unix it sends a SIGTERM to the job. It is possible to use other ways to stop the job, or even send arbitrary signals. E.g. to force a job to stop, "kill it": > job_stop(job, "kill") For more options see \|job_stop()\|. ============================================================================== 14. Using a prompt buffer prompt-buffer If you want to type input for the job in a Vim window you have a few options: - Use a normal buffer and handle all possible commands yourself. This will be complicated, since there are so many possible commands. - Use a terminal window. This works well if what you type goes directly to the job and the job output is directly displayed in the window. See \|terminal-window\|. - Use a window with a prompt buffer. This works well when entering a line for the job in Vim while displaying (possibly filtered) output from the job. A prompt buffer is created by setting 'buftype' to "prompt". You would normally only do that in a newly created buffer. The user can edit and enter one line of text at the very last line of the buffer. When pressing Enter in the prompt line the callback set with \|prompt_setcallback()\| is invoked. It would normally send the line to a job. Another callback would receive the output from the job and display it in the buffer, below the prompt (and above the next prompt). Only the text in the last line, after the prompt, is editable. The rest of the buffer is not modifiable with Normal mode commands. It can be modified by calling functions, such as \|append()\|. Using other commands may mess up the buffer. After setting 'buftype' to "prompt" Vim does not automatically start Insert mode, use `:startinsert` if you want to enter Insert mode, so that the user can start typing a line. The text of the prompt can be set with the \|prompt_setprompt()\| function. If no prompt is set with \|prompt_setprompt()\|, "% " is used. You can get the effective prompt text for a buffer, with \|prompt_getprompt()\|. The user can go to Normal mode and navigate through the buffer. This can be useful to see older output or copy text. The CTRL-W key can be used to start a window command, such as CTRL-W w to switch to the next window. This also works in Insert mode (use Shift-CTRL-W to delete a word). When leaving the window Insert mode will be stopped. When coming back to the prompt window Insert mode will be restored. Any command that starts Insert mode, such as "a", "i", "A" and "I", will move the cursor to the last line. "A" will move to the end of the line, "I" to the start of the line. Here is an example for Unix. It starts a shell in the background and prompts for the next shell command. Output from the shell is displayed above the prompt. > " Create a channel log so we can see what happens. call ch_logfile('logfile', 'w') " Function handling a line of text has been typed. func TextEntered(text) " Send the text to a shell with Enter appended. call ch_sendraw(g:shell_job, a:text ..

📄 cmdline.txt cmdline.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Jan 26 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Cmdline-mode Command-line-mode Command-line mode Cmdline Command-line mode-cmdline : Command-line mode is used to enter Ex commands (":"), search patterns ("/" and "?"), and filter commands ("!"). Basic command line editing is explained in chapter 20 of the user manual \|usr_20.txt\|. 1. Command-line editing \|cmdline-editing\| 2. Command-line completion \|cmdline-completion\| 3. Ex command-lines \|cmdline-lines\| 4. Ex command-line ranges \|cmdline-ranges\| 5. Ex command-line flags \|ex-flags\| 6. Ex special characters \|cmdline-special\| 7. Command-line window \|cmdline-window\| ============================================================================== 1. Command-line editing cmdline-editing Normally characters are inserted in front of the cursor position. You can move around in the command-line with the left and right cursor keys. With the <Insert> key, you can toggle between inserting and overstriking characters. Note that if your keyboard does not have working cursor keys or any of the other special keys, you can use ":cnoremap" to define another key for them. For example, to define tcsh style editing keys: tcsh-style > :cnoremap <C-A> <Home> :cnoremap <C-F> <Right> :cnoremap <C-B> <Left> :cnoremap <Esc>b <S-Left> :cnoremap <Esc>f <S-Right> (<> notation \|<>\|; type all this literally) cmdline-too-long When the command line is getting longer than what fits on the screen, only the part that fits will be shown. The cursor can only move in this visible part, thus you cannot edit beyond that. cmdline-history history The command-lines that you enter are remembered in a history table. You can recall them with the up and down cursor keys. There are actually five history tables: - one for ':' commands - one for search strings - one for expressions - one for input lines, typed for the \|input()\| function. - one for debug mode commands These are completely separate. Each history can only be accessed when entering the same type of line. Use the 'history' option to set the number of lines that are remembered (default: 50). Notes: - When you enter a command-line that is exactly the same as an older one, the old one is removed (to avoid repeated commands moving older commands out of the history). - Only commands that are typed are remembered. Ones that completely come from mappings are not put in the history. - All searches are put in the search history, including the ones that come from commands like "" and "#". But for a mapping, only the last search is remembered (to avoid that long mappings trash the history). {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_hist\| feature} There is an automatic completion of names on the command-line; see \|cmdline-completion\|. c_CTRL-V* CTRL-V Insert next non-digit literally. Up to three digits form the decimal value of a single byte. The non-digit and the three digits are not considered for mapping. This works the same way as in Insert mode (see above, \|i_CTRL-V\|). Note: Under MS-Windows CTRL-V is often mapped to paste text. Use CTRL-Q instead then. When \|modifyOtherKeys\| is enabled then special Escape sequence is converted back to what it was without \|modifyOtherKeys\|, unless the Shift key is also pressed. c_CTRL-Q CTRL-Q Same as CTRL-V. But with some terminals it is used for control flow, it doesn't work then. CTRL-SHIFT-V c_CTRL-SHIFT-V c_CTRL-SHIFT-Q CTRL-SHIFT-Q Works just like CTRL-V, unless \|modifyOtherKeys\| is active, then it inserts the Escape sequence for a key with modifiers. c_<Left> c_Left <Left> cursor left c_<Right> c_Right <Right> cursor right c_<S-Left> <S-Left> or <C-Left> c_<C-Left> cursor one WORD left c_<S-Right> <S-Right> or <C-Right> c_<C-Right> cursor one WORD right CTRL-B or <Home> c_CTRL-B c_<Home> c_Home cursor to beginning of command-line CTRL-E or <End> c_CTRL-E c_<End> c_End cursor to end of command-line c_<LeftMouse> <LeftMouse> Move the cursor to the position of the mouse click. c_<MiddleMouse> <MiddleMouse> Paste the contents of the clipboard (for X11 the primary selection). This is similar to using CTRL-R , but no CR characters are inserted between lines. CTRL-H c_<BS>* c_CTRL-H c_BS <BS> Delete the character in front of the cursor (see \|:fixdel\| if your <BS> key does not do what you want). c_<Del> c_Del <Del> Delete the character under the cursor (at end of line: character before the cursor) (see \|:fixdel\| if your <Del> key does not do what you want). c_CTRL-W CTRL-W Delete the \|word\| before the cursor. This depends on the 'iskeyword' option. c_CTRL-U CTRL-U Remove all characters between the cursor position and the beginning of the line. Previous versions of vim deleted all characters on the line. If that is the preferred behavior, add the following to your .vimrc: > :cnoremap <C-U> <C-E><C-U> < c_<Insert> c_Insert <Insert> Toggle between insert and overstrike. {char1} <BS> {char2} or c_digraph CTRL-K {char1} {char2} c_CTRL-K enter digraph (see \|digraphs\|). When {char1} is a special key, the code for that key is inserted in <> form. CTRL-R {register} c_CTRL-R c_<C-R> Insert the contents of a numbered or named register. Between typing CTRL-R and the second character '"' will be displayed to indicate that you are expected to enter the name of a register. The text is inserted as if you typed it, but mappings and abbreviations are not used. Command-line completion through 'wildchar' is not triggered though. And characters that end the command line are inserted literally (<Esc>, <CR>, <NL>, <C-C>). A <BS> or CTRL-W could still end the command line though, and remaining characters will then be interpreted in another mode, which might not be what you intended. Special registers: '"' the unnamed register, containing the text of the last delete or yank '%' the current file name '#' the alternate file name '' the clipboard contents (X11: primary selection) '+' the clipboard contents '/' the last search pattern ':' the last command-line '-' the last small (less than a line) delete '.' the last inserted text c_CTRL-R_=* '=' the expression register: you are prompted to enter an expression (see \|expression\|) (doesn't work at the expression prompt; some things such as changing the buffer or current window are not allowed to avoid side effects) When the result is a \|List\| the items are used as lines. They can have line breaks inside too. When the result is a Float it's automatically converted to a String. See \|registers\| about registers. Implementation detail: When using the \|expression\| register and invoking setcmdpos(), this sets the position before inserting the resulting string. Use CTRL-R CTRL-R to set the position afterwards. CTRL-R CTRL-F c_CTRL-R_CTRL-F c_<C-R>_<C-F> CTRL-R CTRL-P c_CTRL-R_CTRL-P c_<C-R>_<C-P> CTRL-R CTRL-W c_CTRL-R_CTRL-W c_<C-R>_<C-W> CTRL-R CTRL-A c_CTRL-R_CTRL-A c_<C-R>_<C-A> CTRL-R CTRL-L c_CTRL-R_CTRL-L c_<C-R>_<C-L> Insert the object under the cursor: CTRL-F the Filename under the cursor CTRL-P the Filename under the cursor, expanded with 'path' as in \|gf\| CTRL-W the Word under the cursor CTRL-A the WORD under the cursor; see \|WORD\| CTRL-L the line under the cursor When 'incsearch' is set the cursor position at the end of the currently displayed match is used. With CTRL-W the part of the word that was already typed is not inserted again. CTRL-F and CTRL-P: {only when \|+file_in_path\| feature is included} c_CTRL-R_CTRL-R c_<C-R>_<C-R> c_CTRL-R_CTRL-O c_<C-R>_<C-O> CTRL-R CTRL-R {register CTRL-F CTRL-P CTRL-W CTRL-A CTRL-L} CTRL-R CTRL-O {register CTRL-F CTRL-P CTRL-W CTRL-A CTRL-L} Insert register or object under the cursor. Works like \|c_CTRL-R\| but inserts the text literally. For example, if register a contains "xy^Hz" (where ^H is a backspace), "CTRL-R a" will insert "xz" while "CTRL-R CTRL-R a" will insert "xy^Hz". CTRL-\ e {expr} c_CTRL-\_e Evaluate {expr} and replace the whole command line with the result. You will be prompted for the expression, type <Enter> to finish it. It's most useful in mappings though. See \|expression\|. See \|c_CTRL-R_=\| for inserting the result of an expression. Useful functions are \|getcmdtype()\|, \|getcmdline()\| and \|getcmdpos()\|. The cursor position is unchanged, except when the cursor was at the end of the line, then it stays at the end. \|setcmdpos()\| can be used to set the cursor position. The \|sandbox\| is used for evaluating the expression to avoid nasty side effects. Example: > :cmap <F7> <C-\>eAppendSome()<CR> :func AppendSome() :let cmd = getcmdline() . " Some()" :" place the cursor on the ) :call setcmdpos(strlen(cmd)) :return cmd :endfunc < This doesn't work recursively, thus not when already editing an expression. But it is possible to use in a mapping. c_CTRL-Y CTRL-Y When there is a modeless selection, copy the selection into the clipboard. \|modeless-selection\| If there is no selection CTRL-Y is inserted as a character. CTRL-M or CTRL-J c_CTRL-M c_CTRL-J c_<NL> c_<CR> c_CR <CR> or <NL> start entered command CTRL-[ c_CTRL-[ c_<Esc> c_Esc <Esc> When typed and 'x' not present in 'cpoptions', quit Command-line mode without executing. In macros or when 'x' present in 'cpoptions', start entered command. Note: If your <Esc> key is hard to hit on your keyboard, train yourself to use CTRL-[. c_CTRL-C CTRL-C quit command-line without executing c_<Up> c_Up <Up> recall older command-line from history, whose beginning matches the current command-line (see below). {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_hist\| feature} c_<Down> c_Down <Down> recall more recent command-line from history, whose beginning matches the current command-line (see below). {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_hist\| feature} c_<S-Up> c_<PageUp> <S-Up> or <PageUp> recall older command-line from history {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_hist\| feature} c_<S-Down> c_<PageDown> <S-Down> or <PageDown> recall more recent command-line from history {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_hist\| feature} CTRL-D command-line completion (see \|cmdline-completion\|) 'wildchar' option command-line completion (see \|cmdline-completion\|) CTRL-N command-line completion (see \|cmdline-completion\|) CTRL-P command-line completion (see \|cmdline-completion\|) CTRL-A command-line completion (see \|cmdline-completion\|) CTRL-L command-line completion (see \|cmdline-completion\|) c_CTRL-_ CTRL-_ a - switch between Hebrew and English keyboard mode, which is private to the command-line and not related to hkmap. This is useful when Hebrew text entry is required in the command-line, searches, abbreviations, etc. Applies only if Vim is compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature and the 'allowrevins' option is set. See \|rileft.txt\|. b - switch between Farsi and English keyboard mode, which is private to the command-line and not related to fkmap. In Farsi keyboard mode the characters are inserted in reverse insert manner. This is useful when Farsi text entry is required in the command-line, searches, abbreviations, etc. Applies only if Vim is compiled with the \|+farsi\| feature. See \|farsi.txt\|. c_CTRL-^ CTRL-^ Toggle the use of language \|:lmap\| mappings and/or Input Method. When typing a pattern for a search command and 'imsearch' is not -1, VAL is the value of 'imsearch', otherwise VAL is the value of 'iminsert'. When language mappings are defined: - If VAL is 1 (langmap mappings used) it becomes 0 (no langmap mappings used). - If VAL was not 1 it becomes 1, thus langmap mappings are enabled. When no language mappings are defined: - If VAL is 2 (Input Method is used) it becomes 0 (no input method used) - If VAL has another value it becomes 2, thus the Input Method is enabled. These language mappings are normally used to type characters that are different from what the keyboard produces. The 'keymap' option can be used to install a whole number of them. When entering a command line, langmap mappings are switched off, since you are expected to type a command. After switching it on with CTRL-^, the new state is not used again for the next command or Search pattern. c_CTRL-] CTRL-] Trigger abbreviation, without inserting a character. For Emacs-style editing on the command-line see \|emacs-keys\|. The <Up> and <Down> keys take the current command-line as a search string. The beginning of the next/previous command-lines are compared with this string. The first line that matches is the new command-line. When typing these two keys repeatedly, the same string is used again. For example, this can be used to find the previous substitute command: Type ":s" and then <Up>. The same could be done by typing <S-Up> a number of times until the desired command-line is shown. (Note: the shifted arrow keys do not work on all terminals) :his :history :his[tory] Print the history of last entered commands. {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_hist\| feature} :his[tory] [{name}] [{first}][, [{last}]] List the contents of history {name} which can be: c[md] or : command-line history s[earch] or / or ? search string history e[xpr] or = expression register history i[nput] or @ input line history d[ebug] or > debug command history a[ll] all of the above If the numbers {first} and/or {last} are given, the respective range of entries from a history is listed. These numbers can be specified in the following form: :history-indexing A positive number represents the absolute index of an entry as it is given in the first column of a :history listing. This number remains fixed even if other entries are deleted. A negative number means the relative position of an entry, counted from the newest entry (which has index -1) backwards. Examples: List entries 6 to 12 from the search history: > :history / 6,12 < List the penultimate entry from all histories: > :history all -2 < List the most recent two entries from all histories: > :history all -2, :keepp[atterns] {command} :keepp :keeppatterns Execute {command}, without adding anything to the search history ============================================================================== 2. Command-line completion cmdline-completion When editing the command-line, a few commands can be used to complete the word before the cursor. This is available for: - Command names: At the start of the command-line. - Tags: Only after the ":tag" command. - File names: Only after a command that accepts a file name or a setting for an option that can be set to a file name. This is called file name completion. - Shell command names: After ":!cmd", ":r !cmd" and ":w !cmd". $PATH is used. - Options: Only after the ":set" command. - Mappings: Only after a ":map" or similar command. - Variable and function names: Only after a ":if", ":call" or similar command. The number of help item matches is limited (currently to 300) to avoid a long delay when there are very many matches. These are the commands that can be used: c_CTRL-D CTRL-D List names that match the pattern in front of the cursor. When showing file names, directories are highlighted (see 'highlight' option). Names where 'suffixes' matches are moved to the end. The 'wildoptions' option can be set to "tagfile" to list the file of matching tags. c_CTRL-I c_wildchar c_<Tab> 'wildchar' option A match is done on the pattern in front of the cursor. The match (if there are several, the first match) is inserted in place of the pattern. (Note: does not work inside a macro, because <Tab> or <Esc> are mostly used as 'wildchar', and these have a special meaning in some macros.) When typed again and there were multiple matches, the next match is inserted. After the last match, the first is used again (wrap around). The behavior can be changed with the 'wildmode' option. c_<S-Tab> <S-Tab> Like 'wildchar' or <Tab>, but begin with the last match and then go to the previous match. <S-Tab> does not work everywhere. c_CTRL-N CTRL-N After using 'wildchar' which got multiple matches, go to next match. Otherwise recall more recent command-line from history. c_CTRL-P CTRL-P After using 'wildchar' which got multiple matches, go to previous match. Otherwise recall older command-line from history. c_CTRL-A CTRL-A All names that match the pattern in front of the cursor are inserted. c_CTRL-L CTRL-L A match is done on the pattern in front of the cursor. If there is one match, it is inserted in place of the pattern. If there are multiple matches the longest common part is inserted in place of the pattern. If the result is shorter than the pattern, no completion is done. /_CTRL-L When 'incsearch' is set, entering a search pattern for "/" or "?" and the current match is displayed then CTRL-L will add one character from the end of the current match. If 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' are set and the command line has no uppercase characters, the added character is converted to lowercase. c_CTRL-G /_CTRL-G CTRL-G When 'incsearch' is set, entering a search pattern for "/" or "?" and the current match is displayed then CTRL-G will move to the next match (does not take \|search-offset\| into account) Use CTRL-T to move to the previous match. Hint: on a regular keyboard T is above G. c_CTRL-T /_CTRL-T CTRL-T When 'incsearch' is set, entering a search pattern for "/" or "?" and the current match is displayed then CTRL-T will move to the previous match (does not take \|search-offset\| into account). Use CTRL-G to move to the next match. Hint: on a regular keyboard T is above G. The 'wildchar' option defaults to <Tab> (CTRL-E when in Vi compatible mode; in a previous version <Esc> was used). In the pattern standard wildcards '' and '?' are accepted when matching file names. '' matches any string, '?' matches exactly one character. When repeating 'wildchar' or CTRL-N you cycle through the matches, eventually ending up back to what was typed. If the first match is not what you wanted, you can use <S-Tab> or CTRL-P to go straight back to what you typed. The 'wildignorecase' option can be set to ignore case in filenames. The 'wildmenu' option can be set to show the matches just above the command line. If you like tcsh's autolist completion, you can use this mapping: :cnoremap X <C-L><C-D> (Where X is the command key to use, <C-L> is CTRL-L and <C-D> is CTRL-D) This will find the longest match and then list all matching files. If you like tcsh's autolist completion, you can use the 'wildmode' option to emulate it. For example, this mimics autolist=ambiguous: :set wildmode=longest,list This will find the longest match with the first 'wildchar', then list all matching files with the next. complete-script-local-functions When completing user function names, prepend "s:" to find script-local functions. suffixes For file name completion you can use the 'suffixes' option to set a priority between files with almost the same name. If there are multiple matches, those files with an extension that is in the 'suffixes' option are ignored. The default is ".bak,~,.o,.h,.info,.swp,.obj", which means that files ending in ".bak", "~", ".o", ".h", ".info", ".swp" and ".obj" are sometimes ignored. An empty entry, two consecutive commas, match a file name that does not contain a ".", thus has no suffix. This is useful to ignore "prog" and prefer "prog.c". Examples: pattern: files: match: ~ test* test.c test.h test.o test.c test* test.h test.o test.h and test.o test* test.i test.h test.c test.i and test.c It is impossible to ignore suffixes with two dots. If there is more than one matching file (after ignoring the ones matching the 'suffixes' option) the first file name is inserted. You can see that there is only one match when you type 'wildchar' twice and the completed match stays the same. You can get to the other matches by entering 'wildchar', CTRL-N or CTRL-P. All files are included, also the ones with extensions matching the 'suffixes' option. To completely ignore files with some extension use 'wildignore'. To match only files that end at the end of the typed text append a "$". For example, to match only files that end in ".c": > :e .c$ This will not match a file ending in ".cpp". Without the "$" it does match. The old value of an option can be obtained by hitting 'wildchar' just after the '='. For example, typing 'wildchar' after ":set dir=" will insert the current value of 'dir'. This overrules file name completion for the options that take a file name. If you would like using <S-Tab> for CTRL-P in an xterm, put this command in your .cshrc: > xmodmap -e "keysym Tab = Tab Find" And this in your .vimrc: > :cmap <Esc>[1~ <C-P> ============================================================================== 3. Ex command-lines cmdline-lines* The Ex commands have a few specialties: :quote :comment '"' at the start of a line causes the whole line to be ignored. '"' after a command causes the rest of the line to be ignored. This can be used to add comments. Example: > :set ai "set 'autoindent' option It is not possible to add a comment to a shell command ":!cmd" or to the ":map" command and a few others (mainly commands that expect expressions) that see the '"' as part of their argument: :argdo :autocmd :bufdo :cexpr (and the like) :cdo (and the like) :command :cscope (and the like) :debug :display :echo (and the like) :elseif :execute :folddoopen :folddoclosed :for :grep (and the like) :help (and the like) :if :let :make :map (and the like including :abbrev commands) :menu (and the like) :mkspell :normal :ownsyntax :popup :promptfind (and the like) :registers :return :sort :syntax :tabdo :tearoff :vimgrep (and the like) :while :windo :bar :\bar '\|' can be used to separate commands, so you can give multiple commands in one line. If you want to use '\|' in an argument, precede it with '\'. These commands see the '\|' as their argument, and can therefore not be followed by another Vim command: :argdo :autocmd :bufdo :cdo :cfdo :command :cscope :debug :eval :folddoopen :folddoclosed :function :global :help :helpfind :lcscope :ldo :lfdo :make :normal :perl :perldo :promptfind :promptrepl :pyfile :python :registers :read ! :scscope :sign :tcl :tcldo :tclfile :terminal :vglobal :windo :write ! :[range]! a user defined command without the "-bar" argument \|:command\| Note that this is confusing (inherited from Vi): With ":g" the '\|' is included in the command, with ":s" it is not. To be able to use another command anyway, use the ":execute" command. Example (append the output of "ls" and jump to the first line): > :execute 'r !ls' \| '[ There is one exception: When the 'b' flag is present in 'cpoptions', with the ":map" and ":abbr" commands and friends CTRL-V needs to be used instead of '\'. You can also use "<Bar>" instead. See also \|map_bar\|. Examples: > :!ls \| wc view the output of two commands :r !ls \| wc insert the same output in the text :%g/foo/p\|> moves all matching lines one shiftwidth :%s/foo/bar/\|> moves one line one shiftwidth :map q 10^V\| map "q" to "10\|" :map q 10\\| map \ l map "q" to "10\" and map "\" to "l" (when 'b' is present in 'cpoptions') You can also use <NL> to separate commands in the same way as with '\|'. To insert a <NL> use CTRL-V CTRL-J. "^@" will be shown. Using '\|' is the preferred method. But for external commands a <NL> must be used, because a '\|' is included in the external command. To avoid the special meaning of <NL> it must be preceded with a backslash. Example: > :r !date<NL>-join This reads the current date into the file and joins it with the previous line. Note that when the command before the '\|' generates an error, the following commands will not be executed. Because of Vi compatibility the following strange commands are supported: > :\| print current line (like ":p") :3\| print line 3 (like ":3p") :3 goto line 3 A colon is allowed between the range and the command name. It is ignored (this is Vi compatible). For example: > :1,$:s/pat/string When the character '%' or '#' is used where a file name is expected, they are expanded to the current and alternate file name (see the chapter "editing files" \|:_%\| \|:_#\|). Embedded spaces in file names are allowed on the Amiga if one file name is expected as argument. Trailing spaces will be ignored, unless escaped with a backslash or CTRL-V. Note that the ":next" command uses spaces to separate file names. Escape the spaces to include them in a file name. Example: > :next foo\ bar goes\ to school\ starts editing the three files "foo bar", "goes to" and "school ". When you want to use the special characters '"' or '\|' in a command, or want to use '%' or '#' in a file name, precede them with a backslash. The backslash is not required in a range and in the ":substitute" command. See also \|`=\|. :_! The '!' (bang) character after an Ex command makes the command behave in a different way. The '!' should be placed immediately after the command, without any blanks in between. If you insert blanks the '!' will be seen as an argument for the command, which has a different meaning. For example: :w! name write the current buffer to file "name", overwriting any existing file :w !name send the current buffer as standard input to command "name" ============================================================================== 4. Ex command-line ranges cmdline-ranges [range] E16 Some Ex commands accept a line range in front of them. This is noted as [range]. It consists of one or more line specifiers, separated with ',' or ';'. The basics are explained in section \|10.3\| of the user manual. :, :; When separated with ';' the cursor position will be set to that line before interpreting the next line specifier. This doesn't happen for ','. Examples: > 4,/this line/ < from line 4 till match with "this line" after the cursor line. > 5;/that line/ < from line 5 till match with "that line" after line 5. The default line specifier for most commands is the cursor position, but the commands ":write" and ":global" have the whole file (1,$) as default. If more line specifiers are given than required for the command, the first one(s) will be ignored. Line numbers may be specified with: :range {address} {number} an absolute line number . the current line :. $ the last line in the file :$ % equal to 1,$ (the entire file) :% 't position of mark t (lowercase) :' 'T position of mark T (uppercase); when the mark is in another file it cannot be used in a range /{pattern}[/] the next line where {pattern} matches :/ ?{pattern}[?] the previous line where {pattern} matches :? \/ the next line where the previously used search pattern matches \? the previous line where the previously used search pattern matches \& the next line where the previously used substitute pattern matches Each may be followed (several times) by '+' or '-' and an optional number. This number is added or subtracted from the preceding line number. If the number is omitted, 1 is used. The "/" and "?" after {pattern} are required to separate the pattern from anything that follows. The "/" and "?" may be preceded with another address. The search starts from there. The difference from using ';' is that the cursor isn't moved. Examples: > /pat1//pat2/ Find line containing "pat2" after line containing "pat1", without moving the cursor. 7;/pat2/ Find line containing "pat2", after line 7, leaving the cursor in line 7. The {number} must be between 0 and the number of lines in the file. When using a 0 (zero) this is interpreted as a 1 by most commands. Commands that use it as a count do use it as a zero (\|:tag\|, \|:pop\|, etc). Some commands interpret the zero as "before the first line" (\|:read\|, search pattern, etc). Examples: > .+3 three lines below the cursor /that/+1 the line below the next line containing "that" .,$ from current line until end of file 0;/that the first line containing "that", also matches in the first line. 1;/that the first line after line 1 containing "that" Some commands allow for a count after the command. This count is used as the number of lines to be used, starting with the line given in the last line specifier (the default is the cursor line). The commands that accept a count are the ones that use a range but do not have a file name argument (because a file name can also be a number). Examples: > :s/x/X/g 5 substitute 'x' by 'X' in the current line and four following lines :23d 4 delete lines 23, 24, 25 and 26 Folds and Range When folds are active the line numbers are rounded off to include the whole closed fold. See \|fold-behavior\|. Reverse Range E493 A range should have the lower line number first. If this is not the case, Vim will ask you if it should swap the line numbers. Backwards range given, OK to swap ~ This is not done within the global command ":g". You can use ":silent" before a command to avoid the question, the range will always be swapped then. Count and Range N: When giving a count before entering ":", this is translated into: :.,.+(count - 1) In words: The 'count' lines at and after the cursor. Example: To delete three lines: > 3:d<CR> is translated into: .,.+2d<CR> < Visual Mode and Range v_: :star-visual-range {Visual}: Starts a command-line with the Visual selected lines as a range. The code `:'<,'>` is used for this range, which makes it possible to select a similar line from the command-line history for repeating a command on different Visually selected lines. When Visual mode was already ended, a short way to use the Visual area for a range is `:`. This requires that "" does not appear in 'cpo', see \|cpo-star\|. Otherwise you will have to type `:'<,'>` ============================================================================== 5. Ex command-line flags ex-flags These flags are supported by a selection of Ex commands. They print the line that the cursor ends up after executing the command: l output like for \|:list\| # add line number p output like for \|:print\| The flags can be combined, thus "l#" uses both a line number and \|:list\| style output. ============================================================================== 6. Ex special characters cmdline-special Note: These are special characters in the executed command line. If you want to insert special things while typing you can use the CTRL-R command. For example, "%" stands for the current file name, while CTRL-R % inserts the current file name right away. See \|c_CTRL-R\|. Note: If you want to avoid the effects of special characters in a Vim script you may want to use \|fnameescape()\|. Also see \|`=\|. In Ex commands, at places where a file name can be used, the following characters have a special meaning. These can also be used in the expression function \|expand()\|. % Is replaced with the current file name. :_% c_% # Is replaced with the alternate file name. :_# c_# This is remembered for every window. #n (where n is a number) is replaced with :_#0 :_#n the file name of buffer n. "#0" is the same as "#". c_#n ## Is replaced with all names in the argument list :_## c_## concatenated, separated by spaces. Each space in a name is preceded with a backslash. #<n (where n is a number > 0) is replaced with old :_#< c_#< file name n. See \|:oldfiles\| or \|v:oldfiles\| to get the number. E809 {only when compiled with the \|+eval\| and \|+viminfo\| features} In \|Vim9-script\| # is used to start a comment, use %% for the alternate file name: % Is replaced with the current file name. %% Is replaced with the alternate file name. :_%% c_%% %%n (where n is a number) is replaced with :_%%0 :_%%n the file name of buffer n. "%%0" is the same as "%%". c_%%n %%% Is replaced with all names in the argument :_%%% c_%%%# list concatenated, separated by spaces. %%<n (where n is a number > 0) is replaced with old :_%%< c_%%< file name n. Note that these, except "#<n", give the file name as it was typed. If an absolute path is needed (when using the file name from a different directory), you need to add ":p". See \|filename-modifiers\|. The "#<n" item returns an absolute path, but it will start with "~/" for files below your home directory. Note that backslashes are inserted before spaces, so that the command will correctly interpret the file name. But this doesn't happen for shell commands. For those you probably have to use quotes (this fails for files that contain a quote and wildcards): > :!ls "%" :r !spell "%" To avoid the special meaning of '%' and '#' insert a backslash before it. Detail: The special meaning is always escaped when there is a backslash before it, no matter how many backslashes. you type: result ~ # alternate.file \# # \\# \# Also see \|`=\|. E499 E500 Note: these are typed literally, they are not special keys! :<cword> <cword> <cword> is replaced with the word under the cursor (like \|star\|) :<cWORD> <cWORD> <cWORD> is replaced with the WORD under the cursor (see \|WORD\|) :<cexpr> <cexpr> <cexpr> is replaced with the word under the cursor, including more to form a C expression. E.g., when the cursor is on "arg" of "ptr->arg" then the result is "ptr->arg"; when the cursor is on "]" of "list[idx]" then the result is "list[idx]". This is used for \|v:beval_text\|. :<cfile> <cfile> <cfile> is replaced with the path name under the cursor (like what \|gf\| uses) :<afile> <afile> <afile> When executing autocommands, is replaced with the file name of the buffer being manipulated, or the file for a read or write. E495 :<abuf> <abuf> <abuf> When executing autocommands, is replaced with the currently effective buffer number (for ":r file" and ":so file" it is the current buffer, the file being read/sourced is not in a buffer). E496 :<amatch> <amatch> <amatch> When executing autocommands, is replaced with the match for which this autocommand was executed. E497 It differs from <afile> only when the file name isn't used to match with (for FileType, Syntax and SpellFileMissing events). :<sfile> <sfile> <sfile> When executing a ":source" command, is replaced with the file name of the sourced file. E498 When executing a function, is replaced with the call stack, as with <stack> (this is for backwards compatibility, using <stack> is preferred). Note that filename-modifiers are useless when <sfile> is not used inside a script. :<stack> <stack> <stack> is replaced with the call stack, using "function {function-name}[{lnum}]" for a function line and "script {file-name}[{lnum}]" for a script line, and ".." in between items. E.g.: "function {function-name1}[{lnum}]..{function-name2}[{lnum}]" :<slnum> <slnum> <slnum> When executing a ":source" command, is replaced with the line number. E842 When executing a function it's the line number relative to the start of the function. :<sflnum> <sflnum> <sflnum> When executing a script, is replaced with the line number. It differs from <slnum> in that <sflnum> is replaced with the script line number in any situation. E961 :<client> <client> <client> is replaced with the {clinetid} of the last received message in \|server2client()\| filename-modifiers :_%: ::8 ::p ::. ::~ ::h ::t ::r ::e ::s ::gs ::S %:8 %:p %:. %:~ %:h %:t %:r %:e %:s %:gs %:S The file name modifiers can be used after "%", "#", "#n", "<cfile>", "<sfile>", "<afile>" or "<abuf>". They are also used with the \|fnamemodify()\| function. These modifiers can be given, in this order: :p Make file name a full path. Must be the first modifier. Also changes "~/" (and "~user/" for Unix and VMS) to the path for the home directory. If the name is a directory a path separator is added at the end. For a file name that does not exist and does not have an absolute path the result is unpredictable. On MS-Windows an 8.3 filename is expanded to the long name. :8 Converts the path to 8.3 short format (currently only on MS-Windows). Will act on as much of a path that is an existing path. :~ Reduce file name to be relative to the home directory, if possible. File name is unmodified if it is not below the home directory. :. Reduce file name to be relative to current directory, if possible. File name is unmodified if it is not below the current directory. For maximum shortness, use ":~:.". :h Head of the file name (the last component and any separators removed). Cannot be used with :e, :r or :t. Can be repeated to remove several components at the end. When the file name ends in a path separator, only the path separator is removed. Thus ":p:h" on a directory name results on the directory name itself (without trailing slash). When the file name is an absolute path (starts with "/" for Unix; "x:\" for Win32; "drive:" for Amiga), that part is not removed. When there is no head (path is relative to current directory) the result is empty. :t Tail of the file name (last component of the name). Must precede any :r or :e. :r Root of the file name (the last extension removed). When there is only an extension (file name that starts with '.', e.g., ".vimrc"), it is not removed. Can be repeated to remove several extensions (last one first). :e Extension of the file name. Only makes sense when used alone. When there is no extension the result is empty. When there is only an extension (file name that starts with '.'), the result is empty. Can be repeated to include more extensions. If there are not enough extensions (but at least one) as much as possible are included. :s?pat?sub? Substitute the first occurrence of "pat" with "sub". This works like the \|:s\| command. "pat" is a regular expression. Any character can be used for '?', but it must not occur in "pat" or "sub". After this, the previous modifiers can be used again. For example ":p", to make a full path after the substitution. :gs?pat?sub? Substitute all occurrences of "pat" with "sub". Otherwise this works like ":s". :S Escape special characters for use with a shell command (see \|shellescape()\|). Must be the last one. Examples: > :!dir <cfile>:S :call system('chmod +w -- ' . expand('%:S')) Examples, when the file name is "src/version.c", current dir "/home/mool/vim": > :p /home/mool/vim/src/version.c :p:. src/version.c :p:~ ~/vim/src/version.c :h src :p:h /home/mool/vim/src :p:h:h /home/mool/vim :t version.c :p:t version.c :r src/version :p:r /home/mool/vim/src/version :t:r version :e c :s?version?main? src/main.c :s?version?main?:p /home/mool/vim/src/main.c :p:gs?/?\\? \home\mool\vim\src\version.c Examples, when the file name is "src/version.c.gz": > :p /home/mool/vim/src/version.c.gz :e gz :e:e c.gz :e:e:e c.gz :e:e:r c :r src/version.c :r:e c :r:r src/version :r:r:r src/version < extension-removal :_%< If a "<" is appended to "%", "#", "#n" or "CTRL-V p" the extension of the file name is removed (everything after and including the last '.' in the file name). This is included for backwards compatibility with version 3.0, the ":r" form is preferred. Examples: > % current file name %< current file name without extension # alternate file name for current window #< idem, without extension #31 alternate file number 31 #31< idem, without extension <cword> word under the cursor <cWORD> WORD under the cursor (see \|WORD\|) <cfile> path name under the cursor <cfile>< idem, without extension Note: Where a file name is expected wildcards expansion is done. On Unix the shell is used for this, unless it can be done internally (for speed). Unless in \|restricted-mode\|, backticks work also, like in > :n `echo .c` But expansion is only done if there are any wildcards before expanding the '%', '#', etc.. This avoids expanding wildcards inside a file name. If you want to expand the result of <cfile>, add a wildcard character to it. Examples: (alternate file name is "?readme?") command expands to ~ :e # :e ?readme? :e `ls #` :e {files matching "?readme?"} :e #. :e {files matching "?readme?."} :cd <cfile> :cd {file name under cursor} :cd <cfile> :cd {file name under cursor plus "" and then expanded} Also see \|`=\|. When the expanded argument contains a "!" and it is used for a shell command (":!cmd", ":r !cmd" or ":w !cmd"), the "!" is escaped with a backslash to avoid it being expanded into a previously used command. When the 'shell' option contains "sh", this is done twice, to avoid the shell trying to expand the "!". filename-backslash* For filesystems that use a backslash as directory separator (MS-Windows), it's a bit difficult to recognize a backslash that is used to escape the special meaning of the next character. The general rule is: If the backslash is followed by a normal file name character, it does not have a special meaning. Therefore "\file\foo" is a valid file name, you don't have to type the backslash twice. An exception is the '$' sign. It is a valid character in a file name. But to avoid a file name like "$home" to be interpreted as an environment variable, it needs to be preceded by a backslash. Therefore you need to use "/\$home" for the file "$home" in the root directory. A few examples: FILE NAME INTERPRETED AS ~ $home expanded to value of environment var $home \$home file "$home" in current directory /\$home file "$home" in root directory \\$home file "\\", followed by expanded $home Also see \|`=\|. ============================================================================== 7. Command-line window cmdline-window cmdwin command-line-window In the command-line window the command line can be edited just like editing text in any window. It is a special kind of window, because you cannot leave it in a normal way. {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdwin\| feature} OPEN c_CTRL-F q: q/ q? There are two ways to open the command-line window: 1. From Command-line mode, use the key specified with the 'cedit' option. The default is CTRL-F when 'compatible' is not set. 2. From Normal mode, use the "q:", "q/" or "q?" command. This starts editing an Ex command-line ("q:") or search string ("q/" or "q?"). Note that this is not possible while recording is in progress (the "q" stops recording then). When the window opens it is filled with the command-line history. The last line contains the command as typed so far. The left column will show a character that indicates the type of command-line being edited, see \|cmdwin-char\|. Vim will be in Normal mode when the editor is opened, except when 'insertmode' is set. The height of the window is specified with 'cmdwinheight' (or smaller if there is no room). The window is always full width and is positioned just above the command-line. EDIT You can now use commands to move around and edit the text in the window. Both in Normal mode and Insert mode. It is possible to use ":", "/" and other commands that use the command-line, but it's not possible to open another command-line window then. There is no nesting. E11 The command-line window is not a normal window. It is not possible to move to another window or edit another buffer. All commands that would do this are disabled in the command-line window. Of course it _is_ possible to execute any command that you entered in the command-line window. Other text edits are discarded when closing the window. CLOSE E199 There are several ways to leave the command-line window: <CR> Execute the command-line under the cursor. Works both in Insert and in Normal mode. CTRL-C Continue in Command-line mode. The command-line under the cursor is used as the command-line. Works both in Insert and in Normal mode. There is no redraw, thus the window will remain visible. :quit Discard the command line and go back to Normal mode. ":close", CTRL-W c, ":exit", ":xit" and CTRL-\ CTRL-N also work. :qall Quit Vim, unless there are changes in some buffer. :qall! Quit Vim, discarding changes to any buffer. Once the command-line window is closed the old window sizes are restored. The executed command applies to the window and buffer where the command-line was started from. This works as if the command-line window was not there, except that there will be an extra screen redraw. The buffer used for the command-line window is deleted. Any changes to lines other than the one that is executed with <CR> are lost. If you would like to execute the command under the cursor and then have the command-line window open again, you may find this mapping useful: > :autocmd CmdwinEnter * map <buffer> <F5> <CR>q: VARIOUS The command-line window cannot be used: - when there already is a command-line window (no nesting) - for entering an encryption key or when using inputsecret() Some options are set when the command-line window is opened: 'filetype' "vim", when editing an Ex command-line; this starts Vim syntax highlighting if it was enabled 'rightleft' off 'modifiable' on 'buftype' "nofile" 'swapfile' off It is allowed to write the buffer contents to a file. This is an easy way to save the command-line history and read it back later. If the 'wildchar' option is set to <Tab>, and the command-line window is used for an Ex command, then two mappings will be added to use <Tab> for completion in the command-line window, like this: > :imap <buffer> <Tab> <C-X><C-V> :nmap <buffer> <Tab> a<C-X><C-V> Note that hitting <Tab> in Normal mode will do completion on the next character. That way it works at the end of the line. If you don't want these mappings, disable them with: > au CmdwinEnter [:>] iunmap <Tab> au CmdwinEnter [:>] nunmap <Tab> You could put these lines in your vimrc file. While in the command-line window you cannot use the mouse to put the cursor in another window, or drag statuslines of other windows. You can drag the statusline of the command-line window itself and the statusline above it. Thus you can resize the command-line window, but not others. The \|getcmdwintype()\| function returns the type of the command-line being edited as described in \|cmdwin-char\|. AUTOCOMMANDS Two autocommand events are used: \|CmdwinEnter\| and \|CmdwinLeave\|. You can use the Cmdwin events to do settings specifically for the command-line window. Be careful not to cause side effects! Example: > :au CmdwinEnter : let b:cpt_save = &cpt \| set cpt=. :au CmdwinLeave : let &cpt = b:cpt_save This sets 'complete' to use completion in the current window for \|i_CTRL-N\|. Another example: > :au CmdwinEnter [/?] startinsert This will make Vim start in Insert mode in the command-line window. cmdwin-char The character used for the pattern indicates the type of command-line: : normal Ex command > debug mode command \|debug-mode\| / forward search string ? backward search string = expression for "= \|expr-register\| @ string for \|input()\| - text for \|:insert\| or \|:append\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	48.19 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 debug.txt debug.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 May 07 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Debugging Vim debug-vim This is for debugging Vim itself, when it doesn't work properly. For debugging Vim scripts, functions, etc. see \|debug-scripts\| 1. Location of a crash, using gcc and gdb \|debug-gcc\| 2. Locating memory leaks \|debug-leaks\| 3. Windows Bug Reporting \|debug-win32\| ============================================================================== 1. Location of a crash, using gcc and gdb debug-gcc gdb When Vim crashes in one of the test files, and you are using gcc for compilation, here is what you can do to find out exactly where Vim crashes. This also applies when using the MingW tools. 1. Compile Vim with the "-g" option (there is a line in the src/Makefile for this, which you can uncomment). Also make sure "strip" is disabled (do not install it, or use the line "STRIP = /bin/true"). 2. Execute these commands (replace "11" with the test that fails): > cd testdir gdb ../vim run -u unix.vim -U NONE -s dotest.in test11.in 3. Check where Vim crashes, gdb should give a message for this. 4. Get a stack trace from gdb with this command: > where < You can check out different places in the stack trace with: > frame 3 < Replace "3" with one of the numbers in the stack trace. ============================================================================== 2. Locating memory leaks debug-leaks valgrind If you suspect Vim is leaking memory and you are using Linux, the valgrind tool is very useful to pinpoint memory leaks. First of all, build Vim with EXITFREE defined. Search for this in MAKEFILE and uncomment the line. Use this command to start Vim: > valgrind --log-file=valgrind.log --leak-check=full ./vim Note: Vim will run much slower. If your .vimrc is big or you have several plugins you need to be patient for startup, or run with the "--clean" argument. There are often a few leaks from libraries, such as getpwuid() and XtVaAppCreateShell(). Those are unavoidable. The number of bytes should be very small a Kbyte or less. ============================================================================== 3. Windows Bug Reporting debug-win32 If the Windows version of Vim crashes in a reproducible manner, you can take some steps to provide a useful bug report. 3.1 GENERIC ~ You must obtain the debugger symbols (PDB) file for your executable: gvim.pdb for gvim.exe, or vim.pdb for vim.exe. The PDB should be available from the same place that you obtained the executable. Be sure to use the PDB that matches the EXE (same date). If you built the executable yourself with the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, then the PDB was built with the EXE. If you have Visual Studio, use that instead of the VC Toolkit and WinDbg. For other compilers, you should always use the corresponding debugger: gdb (see above \|debug-gcc\|) for the Cygwin and MinGW compilers. debug-vs2005 3.2 Debugging Vim crashes with Visual Studio 2005/Visual C++ 2005 Express ~ First launch vim.exe or gvim.exe and then launch Visual Studio. (If you don't have Visual Studio, follow the instructions at \|get-ms-debuggers\| to obtain a free copy of Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.) On the Tools menu, click Attach to Process. Choose the Vim process. In Vim, reproduce the crash. A dialog will appear in Visual Studio, telling you about the unhandled exception in the Vim process. Click Break to break into the process. Visual Studio will pop up another dialog, telling you that no symbols are loaded and that the source code cannot be displayed. Click OK. Several windows will open. Right-click in the Call Stack window. Choose Load Symbols. The Find Symbols dialog will open, looking for (g)vim.pdb. Navigate to the directory where you have the PDB file and click Open. At this point, you should have a full call stack with vim function names and line numbers. Double-click one of the lines and the Find Source dialog will appear. Navigate to the directory where the Vim source is (if you have it.) If you don't know how to debug this any further, follow the instructions at ":help bug-reports". Paste the call stack into the bug report. If you have a non-free version of Visual Studio, you can save a minidump via the Debug menu and send it with the bug report. A minidump is a small file (<100KB), which contains information about the state of your process. Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition cannot save minidumps and it cannot be installed as a just-in-time debugger. Use WinDbg, \|debug-windbg\|, if you need to save minidumps or you want a just-in-time (postmortem) debugger. debug-windbg 3.3 Debugging Vim crashes with WinDbg ~ See \|get-ms-debuggers\| to obtain a copy of WinDbg. As with the Visual Studio IDE, you can attach WinDbg to a running Vim process. You can also have your system automatically invoke WinDbg as a postmortem debugger. To set WinDbg as your postmortem debugger, run "windbg -I". To attach WinDbg to a running Vim process, launch WinDbg. On the File menu, choose Attach to a Process. Select the Vim process and click OK. At this point, choose Symbol File Path on the File menu, and add the folder containing your Vim PDB to the sympath. If you have Vim source available, use Source File Path on the File menu. You can now open source files in WinDbg and set breakpoints, if you like. Reproduce your crash. WinDbg should open the source file at the point of the crash. Using the View menu, you can examine the call stack, local variables, watch windows, and so on. If WinDbg is your postmortem debugger, you do not need to attach WinDbg to your Vim process. Simply reproduce the crash and WinDbg will launch automatically. As above, set the Symbol File Path and the Source File Path. To save a minidump, type the following at the WinDbg command line: > .dump vim.dmp < debug-minidump 3.4 Opening a Minidump ~ If you have a minidump file, you can open it in Visual Studio or in WinDbg. In Visual Studio 2005: on the File menu, choose Open, then Project/Solution. Navigate to the .dmp file and open it. Now press F5 to invoke the debugger. Follow the instructions in \|debug-vs2005\| to set the Symbol File Path. In WinDbg: choose Open Crash Dump on the File menu. Follow the instructions in \|debug-windbg\| to set the Symbol File Path. get-ms-debuggers 3.5 Obtaining Microsoft Debugging Tools ~ The Debugging Tools for Windows (including WinDbg) can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx This includes the WinDbg debugger. Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition can be downloaded for free from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualC/default.aspx ========================================================================= vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	6.73 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 debugger.txt debugger.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Dec 21 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Gordon Prieur Debugger Support Features debugger-support These features are for integration with a debugger or an Integrated Programming Environment (IPE) or Integrated Development Environment (IDE). For the debugger running in a Vim terminal window see \|terminal-debugger\|. 1. Debugger Features \|debugger-features\| 2. Vim Compile Options \|debugger-compilation\| ============================================================================== 1. Debugger Features debugger-features The following features are available: Alternate Command Input \|alt-input\| Debug Signs \|debug-signs\| Debug Source Highlight \|debug-highlight\| Message Footer \|gui-footer\| Balloon Evaluation \|balloon-eval\| These features were added specifically for use in the Motif version of gvim. However, the \|alt-input\| and \|debug-highlight\| were written to be usable in both vim and gvim. Some of the other features could be used in the non-GUI vim with slight modifications. However, I did not do this nor did I test the reliability of building for vim or non Motif GUI versions. 1.1 Alternate Command Input alt-input For Vim to work with a debugger there must be at least an input connection with a debugger or external tool. In many cases there will also be an output connection but this isn't absolutely necessary. The purpose of the input connection is to let the external debugger send commands to Vim. The commands sent by the debugger should give the debugger enough control to display the current debug environment and state. The current implementation is based on the X Toolkit dispatch loop and the XtAddInput() function call. 1.2 Debug Signs debug-signs Many debuggers mark specific lines by placing a small sign or color highlight on the line. The \|:sign\| command lets the debugger set this graphic mark. Some examples where this feature would be used would be a debugger showing an arrow representing the Program Counter (PC) of the program being debugged. Another example would be a small stop sign for a line with a breakpoint. These visible highlights let the user keep track of certain parts of the state of the debugger. This feature can be used with more than debuggers, too. An IPE can use a sign to highlight build errors, searched text, or other things. The sign feature can also work together with the \|debug-highlight\| to ensure the mark is highly visible. Debug signs are defined and placed using the \|:sign\| command. 1.3 Debug Source Highlight debug-highlight This feature allows a line to have a predominant highlight. The highlight is intended to make a specific line stand out. The highlight could be made to work for both vim and gvim, whereas the debug sign is, in most cases, limited to gvim. The one exception to this is Sun Microsystem's dtterm. The dtterm from Sun has a "sign gutter" for showing signs. 1.4 Message Footer gui-footer The message footer can be used to display messages from a debugger or IPE. It can also be used to display menu and toolbar tips. The footer area is at the bottom of the GUI window, below the line used to display colon commands. The display of the footer is controlled by the 'guioptions' letter 'F'. 1.5 Balloon Evaluation balloon-eval This feature allows a debugger, or other external tool, to display dynamic information based on where the mouse is pointing. The purpose of this feature was to allow Sun's Visual WorkShop debugger to display expression evaluations. However, the feature was implemented in as general a manner as possible and could be used for displaying other information as well. The functionality is limited though, for advanced popups see \|popup-window\|. Another way to use the balloon is with the 'balloonexpr' option. This is completely user definable. The Balloon Evaluation has some settable parameters too. For Motif the font list and colors can be set via X resources (XmNballoonEvalFontList, XmNballoonEvalBackground, and XmNballoonEvalForeground). The 'balloondelay' option sets the delay before an attempt is made to show a balloon. The 'ballooneval' and/or the 'balloonevalterm' option needs to be set to switch it on. Balloon evaluation is only available in the GUI when compiled with the \|+balloon_eval\| feature. For the terminal the \|+balloon_eval_term\| feature matters. The Balloon evaluation functions are also used to show a tooltip for the toolbar. The 'ballooneval' option does not need to be set for this. But the other settings apply. ============================================================================== 2. Vim Compile Options debugger-compilation The debugger features were added for use with Sun's Visual WorkShop Integrated Programming Environment (ipe). However, they were done in as generic a manner as possible so that integration with other debuggers could also use these features. The following compile time preprocessor variables control the features: Alternate Command Input ALT_X_INPUT Debug Glyphs FEAT_SIGNS Debug Highlights FEAT_SIGNS Message Footer FEAT_FOOTER Balloon Evaluation FEAT_BEVAL The support specifically for Sun Visual WorkShop has been removed, since the product no longer exists. For Sun NetBeans support see \|netbeans\|. vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	5.32 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 develop.txt develop.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Aug 15 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Development of Vim. development This text is important for those who want to be involved in further developing Vim. 1. Design goals \|design-goals\| 2. Coding style \|coding-style\| 3. Design decisions \|design-decisions\| 4. Assumptions \|design-assumptions\| See the file README.txt in the "src" directory for an overview of the source code. Vim is open source software. Everybody is encouraged to contribute to help improving Vim. For sending patches a unified diff "diff -u" is preferred. You can create a pull request on github, but it's not required. Also see http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_make_and_submit_a_patch. ============================================================================== 1. Design goals design-goals Most important things come first (roughly). Note that quite a few items are contradicting. This is intentional. A balance must be found between them. VIM IS... VI COMPATIBLE design-compatible First of all, it should be possible to use Vim as a drop-in replacement for Vi. When the user wants to, Vim can be used in compatible mode and hardly any differences with the original Vi will be noticed. Exceptions: - We don't reproduce obvious Vi bugs in Vim. - There are different versions of Vi. I am using Version 3.7 (6/7/85) as a reference. But support for other versions is also included when possible. The Vi part of POSIX is not considered a definitive source. - Vim adds new commands, you cannot rely on some command to fail because it didn't exist in Vi. - Vim will have a lot of features that Vi doesn't have. Going back from Vim to Vi will be a problem, this cannot be avoided. - Some things are hardly ever used (open mode, sending an e-mail when crashing, etc.). Those will only be included when someone has a good reason why it should be included and it's not too much work. - For some items it is debatable whether Vi compatibility should be maintained. There will be an option flag for these. VIM IS... IMPROVED design-improved The IMproved bits of Vim should make it a better Vi, without becoming a completely different editor. Extensions are done with a "Vi spirit". - Use the keyboard as much as feasible. The mouse requires a third hand, which we don't have. Many terminals don't have a mouse. - When the mouse is used anyway, avoid the need to switch back to the keyboard. Avoid mixing mouse and keyboard handling. - Add commands and options in a consistent way. Otherwise people will have a hard time finding and remembering them. Keep in mind that more commands and options will be added later. - A feature that people do not know about is a useless feature. Don't add obscure features, or at least add hints in documentation that they exist. - Minimize using CTRL and other modifiers, they are more difficult to type. - There are many first-time and inexperienced Vim users. Make it easy for them to start using Vim and learn more over time. - There is no limit to the features that can be added. Selecting new features is one based on (1) what users ask for, (2) how much effort it takes to implement and (3) someone actually implementing it. VIM IS... MULTI PLATFORM design-multi-platform Vim tries to help as many users on as many platforms as possible. - Support many kinds of terminals. The minimal demands are cursor positioning and clear-screen. Commands should only use key strokes that most keyboards have. Support all the keys on the keyboard for mapping. - Support many platforms. A condition is that there is someone willing to do Vim development on that platform, and it doesn't mean messing up the code. - Support many compilers and libraries. Not everybody is able or allowed to install another compiler or GUI library. - People switch from one platform to another, and from GUI to terminal version. Features should be present in all versions, or at least in as many as possible with a reasonable effort. Try to avoid that users must switch between platforms to accomplish their work efficiently. - That a feature is not possible on some platforms, or only possible on one platform, does not mean it cannot be implemented. [This intentionally contradicts the previous item, these two must be balanced.] VIM IS... WELL DOCUMENTED design-documented - A feature that isn't documented is a useless feature. A patch for a new feature must include the documentation. - Documentation should be comprehensive and understandable. Using examples is recommended. - Don't make the text unnecessarily long. Less documentation means that an item is easier to find. VIM IS... HIGH SPEED AND SMALL IN SIZE design-speed-size Using Vim must not be a big attack on system resources. Keep it small and fast. - Computers are becoming faster and bigger each year. Vim can grow too, but no faster than computers are growing. Keep Vim usable on older systems. - Many users start Vim from a shell very often. Startup time must be short. - Commands must work efficiently. The time they consume must be as small as possible. Useful commands may take longer. - Don't forget that some people use Vim over a slow connection. Minimize the communication overhead. - Items that add considerably to the size and are not used by many people should be a feature that can be disabled. - Vim is a component among other components. Don't turn it into a massive application, but have it work well together with other programs. VIM IS... MAINTAINABLE design-maintain - The source code should not become a mess. It should be reliable code. - Use the same layout in all files to make it easy to read \|coding-style\|. - Use comments in a useful way! Quoting the function name and argument names is NOT useful. Do explain what they are for. - Porting to another platform should be made easy, without having to change too much platform-independent code. - Use the object-oriented spirit: Put data and code together. Minimize the knowledge spread to other parts of the code. VIM IS... FLEXIBLE design-flexible Vim should make it easy for users to work in their preferred styles rather than coercing its users into particular patterns of work. This can be for items with a large impact (e.g., the 'compatible' option) or for details. The defaults are carefully chosen such that most users will enjoy using Vim as it is. Commands and options can be used to adjust Vim to the desire of the user and its environment. VIM IS... NOT design-not - Vim is not a shell or an Operating System. It does provide a terminal window, in which you can run a shell or debugger. E.g. to be able to do this over an ssh connection. But if you don't need a text editor with that it is out of scope (use something like screen or tmux instead). A satirical way to say this: "Unlike Emacs, Vim does not attempt to include everything but the kitchen sink, but some people say that you can clean one with it. ;-)" To use Vim with gdb see \|terminal-debugger\|. Other (older) tools can be found at http://www.agide.org and http://clewn.sf.net. - Vim is not a fancy GUI editor that tries to look nice at the cost of being less consistent over all platforms. But functional GUI features are welcomed. ============================================================================== 2. Coding style coding-style These are the rules to use when making changes to the Vim source code. Please stick to these rules, to keep the sources readable and maintainable. This list is not complete. Look in the source code for more examples. MAKING CHANGES style-changes The basic steps to make changes to the code: 1. Get the code from github. That makes it easier to keep your changed version in sync with the main code base (it may be a while before your changes will be included). You do need to spend some time learning git, it's not the most user friendly tool. 2. Adjust the documentation. Doing this first gives you an impression of how your changes affect the user. 3. Make the source code changes. 4. Check ../doc/todo.txt if the change affects any listed item. 5. Make a patch with "git diff". You can also create a pull request on github, but it's the diff that matters. 6. Make a note about what changed, preferably mentioning the problem and the solution. Send an email to the \|vim-dev\| maillist with an explanation and include the diff. Or create a pull request on github. C COMPILER style-compiler ANSI-C C89 C99 The minimal C compiler version supported is C89, also known as ANSI C. Later standards, such as C99, are not widely supported, or at least not 100% supported. Therefore we use only some of the C99 features and disallow some (at least for now). Please don't make changes everywhere to use the C99 features, it causes merge problems for existing patches. Only use them for new and changed code. Comments ~ Traditionally Vim uses /* comments /. We intend to keep it that way for file and function headers and larger blocks of code, E.g.: / * The "foo" argument does something useful. * Return OK or FAIL. / For new code or lines of code that change, it is preferred to use // comments. Especially when it comes after code: int some_var; // single line comment useful here Enums ~ The last item in an enum may have a trailing comma. C89 didn't allow this. Types ~ "long long" is allowed and can be expected to be 64 bits. Use %lld in printf formats. Also "long long unsigned" with %llu. Not to be used ~ These C99 features are not to be used, because not enough compilers support them: - Declaration after Statements (MSVC 2012 does not support it). All declarations need to be at the start of the block. - Variable length arrays (even in C11 this is an optional feature). - _Bool and _Complex types. - "inline" (it's hardly ever needed, let the optimizer do its work) - flexible array members: Not supported by HP-UX C compiler (John Marriott) USE OF COMMON FUNCTIONS style-functions* Some functions that are common to use, have a special Vim version. Always consider using the Vim version, because they were introduced with a reason.

Don't use "delete" or "this" as a variable name, C++ doesn't like it.

'"' works fine. Don't use: #if HAVE_SOME Some compilers can't handle that and complain that "HAVE_SOME" is not defined. Use #ifdef HAVE_SOME or #if defined(HAVE_SOME) STYLE style-examples General rule: One statement per line. Wrong: if (cond) a = 1; OK: if (cond) a = 1; Wrong: while (cond); OK: while (cond) ; Wrong: do a = 1; while (cond); OK: do a = 1; while (cond); Wrong: if (cond) { cmd; cmd; } else { cmd; cmd; } OK: if (cond) { cmd; cmd; } else { cmd; cmd; } When a block has one line the braces can be left out. When an if/else has braces on one block, it usually looks better when the other block also has braces: OK: if (cond) cmd; else cmd; OK: if (cond) { cmd; } else { cmd; cmd; } Use ANSI (new style) function declarations with the return type on a separate indented line. Wrong: int function_name(int arg1, int arg2) OK: /* * Explanation of what this function is used for. * * Return value explanation. / int function_name( int arg1, // short comment about arg1 int arg2) // short comment about arg2 { int local; // comment about local local = arg1 arg2; SPACES AND PUNCTUATION style-spaces No space between a function name and the bracket: Wrong: func (arg); OK: func(arg); Do use a space after if, while, switch, etc. Wrong: if(arg) for(;;) OK: if (arg) for (;;) Use a space after a comma and semicolon: Wrong: func(arg1,arg2); for (i = 0;i < 2;++i) OK: func(arg1, arg2); for (i = 0; i < 2; ++i) Use a space before and after '=', '+', '/', etc. Wrong: var=a5; OK: var = a 5; In general: Use empty lines to group lines of code together. Put a comment just above the group of lines. This makes it easier to quickly see what is being done. OK: /* Prepare for building the table. / get_first_item(); table_idx = 0; / Build the table / while (has_item()) table[table_idx++] = next_item(); / Finish up. / cleanup_items(); generate_hash(table); ============================================================================== 3. Design decisions design-decisions* Folding Several forms of folding should be possible for the same buffer. For example, have one window that shows the text with function bodies folded, another window that shows a function body. Folding is a way to display the text. It should not change the text itself. Therefore the folding has been implemented as a filter between the text stored in a buffer (buffer lines) and the text displayed in a window (logical lines). Naming the window The word "window" is commonly used for several things: A window on the screen, the xterm window, a window inside Vim to view a buffer. To avoid confusion, other items that are sometimes called window have been given another name. Here is an overview of the related items: screen The whole display. For the GUI it's something like 1024x768 pixels. The Vim shell can use the whole screen or part of it. shell The Vim application. This can cover the whole screen (e.g., when running in a console) or part of it (xterm or GUI). window View on a buffer. There can be several windows in Vim, together with the command line, menubar, toolbar, etc. they fit in the shell. Spell checking develop-spell When spell checking was going to be added to Vim a survey was done over the available spell checking libraries and programs. Unfortunately, the result was that none of them provided sufficient capabilities to be used as the spell checking engine in Vim, for various reasons: - Missing support for multibyte encodings. At least UTF-8 must be supported, so that more than one language can be used in the same file. Doing on-the-fly conversion is not always possible (would require iconv support). - For the programs and libraries: Using them as-is would require installing them separately from Vim. That's mostly not impossible, but a drawback. - Performance: A few tests showed that it's possible to check spelling on the fly (while redrawing), just like syntax highlighting. But the mechanisms used by other code are much slower. Myspell uses a hashtable, for example. The affix compression that most spell checkers use makes it slower too. - For using an external program like aspell a communication mechanism would have to be setup. That's complicated to do in a portable way (Unix-only would be relatively simple, but that's not good enough). And performance will become a problem (lots of process switching involved). - Missing support for words with non-word characters, such as "Etten-Leur" and "et al.", would require marking the pieces of them OK, lowering the reliability. - Missing support for regions or dialects. Makes it difficult to accept all English words and highlight non-Canadian words differently. - Missing support for rare words. Many words are correct but hardly ever used and could be a misspelled often-used word. - For making suggestions the speed is less important and requiring to install another program or library would be acceptable. But the word lists probably differ, the suggestions may be wrong words. Spelling suggestions develop-spell-suggestions For making suggestions there are two basic mechanisms: 1. Try changing the bad word a little bit and check for a match with a good word. Or go through the list of good words, change them a little bit and check for a match with the bad word. The changes are deleting a character, inserting a character, swapping two characters, etc. 2. Perform soundfolding on both the bad word and the good words and then find matches, possibly with a few changes like with the first mechanism. The first is good for finding typing mistakes. After experimenting with hashtables and looking at solutions from other spell checkers the conclusion was that a trie (a kind of tree structure) is ideal for this. Both for reducing memory use and being able to try sensible changes. For example, when inserting a character only characters that lead to good words need to be tried. Other mechanisms (with hashtables) need to try all possible letters at every position in the word. Also, a hashtable has the requirement that word boundaries are identified separately, while a trie does not require this. That makes the mechanism a lot simpler. Soundfolding is useful when someone knows how the words sounds but doesn't know how it is spelled. For example, the word "dictionary" might be written as "daktonerie". The number of changes that the first method would need to try is very big, it's hard to find the good word that way. After soundfolding the words become "tktnr" and "tkxnry", these differ by only two letters. To find words by their soundfolded equivalent (soundalike word) we need a list of all soundfolded words. A few experiments have been done to find out what the best method is. Alternatives: 1. Do the sound folding on the fly when looking for suggestions. This means walking through the trie of good words, soundfolding each word and checking how different it is from the bad word. This is very efficient for memory use, but takes a long time. On a fast PC it takes a couple of seconds for English, which can be acceptable for interactive use. But for some languages it takes more than ten seconds (e.g., German, Catalan), which is unacceptably slow. For batch processing (automatic corrections) it's too slow for all languages. 2. Use a trie for the soundfolded words, so that searching can be done just like how it works without soundfolding. This requires remembering a list of good words for each soundfolded word. This makes finding matches very fast but requires quite a lot of memory, in the order of 1 to 10 Mbyte. For some languages more than the original word list. 3. Like the second alternative, but reduce the amount of memory by using affix compression and store only the soundfolded basic word. This is what Aspell does. Disadvantage is that affixes need to be stripped from the bad word before soundfolding it, which means that mistakes at the start and/or end of the word will cause the mechanism to fail. Also, this becomes slow when the bad word is quite different from the good word. The choice made is to use the second mechanism and use a separate file. This way a user with sufficient memory can get very good suggestions while a user who is short of memory or just wants the spell checking and no suggestions doesn't use so much memory. Word frequency For sorting suggestions it helps to know which words are common. In theory we could store a word frequency with the word in the dictionary. However, this requires storing a count per word. That degrades word tree compression a lot. And maintaining the word frequency for all languages will be a heavy task. Also, it would be nice to prefer words that are already in the text. This way the words that appear in the specific text are preferred for suggestions. What has been implemented is to count words that have been seen during displaying. A hashtable is used to quickly find the word count. The count is initialized from words listed in COMMON items in the affix file, so that it also works when starting a new file. This isn't ideal, because the longer Vim is running the higher the counts become. But in practice it is a noticeable improvement over not using the word count. ============================================================================== 4. Assumptions design-assumptions Size of variables: char 8 bit signed char_u 8 bit unsigned int 32 or 64 bit signed (16 might be possible with limited features) unsigned 32 or 64 bit unsigned (16 as with ints) long 32 or 64 bit signed, can hold a pointer Note that some compilers cannot handle long lines or strings. The C89 standard specifies a limit of 509 characters. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	22.33 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

This starts Vim as usual, and additionally sets up for viewing the differences between the arguments. > vimdiff file1 file2 [file3 [file4]] This is equivalent to: > vim -d file1 file2 [file3 [file4]] You may also use "gvimdiff" or "vim -d -g". The GUI is started then. You may also use "viewdiff" or "gviewdiff". Vim starts in readonly mode then. "r" may be prepended for restricted mode (see \|-Z\|). The second and following arguments may also be a directory name. Vim will then append the file name of the first argument to the directory name to find the file. By default an internal diff library will be used. When 'diffopt' or 'diffexpr' has been set an external "diff" command will be used. This only works when such a diff program is available. Diffs are local to the current tab page \|tab-page\|. You can't see diffs with a window in another tab page. This does make it possible to have several diffs at the same time, each in their own tab page. What happens is that Vim opens a window for each of the files. This is like using the \|-O\| argument. This uses vertical splits. If you prefer horizontal splits add the \|-o\| argument: > vimdiff -o file1 file2 [file3 [file4]] If you always prefer horizontal splits include "horizontal" in 'diffopt'. In each of the edited files these options are set: 'diff' on 'scrollbind' on 'cursorbind' on 'scrollopt' includes "hor" 'wrap' off, or leave as-is if 'diffopt' includes "followwrap" 'foldmethod' "diff" 'foldcolumn' value from 'diffopt', default is 2 These options are set local to the window. When editing another file they are reset to the global value. The options can still be overruled from a modeline when re-editing the file. However, 'foldmethod' and 'wrap' won't be set from a modeline when 'diff' is set. See `:diffoff` for an easy way to revert the options. The differences shown are actually the differences in the buffer. Thus if you make changes after loading a file, these will be included in the displayed diffs. You might have to do ":diffupdate" now and then, not all changes are immediately taken into account, especially when using an external diff command. In your .vimrc file you could do something special when Vim was started in diff mode. You could use a construct like this: > if &diff setup for diff mode else setup for non-diff mode endif While already in Vim you can start diff mode in three ways. E98 :diffs[plit] {filename} :diffs :diffsplit Open a new window on the file {filename}. The options are set as for "vimdiff" for the current and the newly opened window. Also see 'diffexpr'. :difft :diffthis :difft[his] Make the current window part of the diff windows. This sets the options like for "vimdiff". :diffp[atch] {patchfile} E816 :diffp :diffpatch Use the current buffer, patch it with the diff found in {patchfile} and open a buffer on the result. The options are set as for "vimdiff". {patchfile} can be in any format that the "patch" program understands or 'patchexpr' can handle. Note that {patchfile} should only contain a diff for one file, the current file. If {patchfile} contains diffs for other files as well, the results are unpredictable. Vim changes directory to /tmp to avoid files in the current directory accidentally being patched. But it may still result in various ".rej" files to be created. And when absolute path names are present these files may get patched anyway. To make these commands use a vertical split, prepend \|:vertical\|. Examples: > :vert diffsplit main.c~ :vert diffpatch /tmp/diff If you always prefer a vertical split include "vertical" in 'diffopt'. E96 There can be up to eight buffers with 'diff' set. Since the option values are remembered with the buffer, you can edit another file for a moment and come back to the same file and be in diff mode again. :diffo :diffoff :diffo[ff] Switch off diff mode for the current window. Resets related options also when 'diff' was not set. :diffo[ff]! Switch off diff mode for the current window and in all windows in the current tab page where 'diff' is set. Resetting related options only happens in a window that has 'diff' set, if the current window does not have 'diff' set then no options in it are changed. Hidden buffers are also removed from the list of diff'ed buffers. The `:diffoff` command resets the relevant options to the values they had when using `:diffsplit`, `:diffpatch` , `:diffthis`. or starting Vim in diff mode. When using `:diffoff` twice the last saved values are restored. Otherwise they are set to their default value: 'diff' off 'scrollbind' off 'cursorbind' off 'scrollopt' without "hor" 'wrap' on, or leave as-is if 'diffopt' includes "followwrap" 'foldmethod' "manual" 'foldcolumn' 0 ============================================================================== 2. Viewing diffs view-diffs The effect is that the diff windows show the same text, with the differences highlighted. When scrolling the text, the 'scrollbind' option will make the text in other windows to be scrolled as well. With vertical splits the text should be aligned properly. The alignment of text will go wrong when: - 'wrap' is on, some lines will be wrapped and occupy two or more screen lines - folds are open in one window but not another - 'scrollbind' is off - changes have been made to the text - "filler" is not present in 'diffopt', deleted/inserted lines makes the alignment go wrong All the buffers edited in a window where the 'diff' option is set will join in the diff. This is also possible for hidden buffers. They must have been edited in a window first for this to be possible. To get rid of the hidden buffers use `:diffoff!`. :DiffOrig diff-original-file Since 'diff' is a window-local option, it's possible to view the same buffer in diff mode in one window and "normal" in another window. It is also possible to view the changes you have made to a buffer since the file was loaded. Since Vim doesn't allow having two buffers for the same file, you need another buffer. This command is useful: > command DiffOrig vert new \| set bt=nofile \| r ++edit # \| 0d_ \ \| diffthis \| wincmd p \| diffthis (this is in \|defaults.vim\|). Use ":DiffOrig" to see the differences between the current buffer and the file it was loaded from. A buffer that is unloaded cannot be used for the diff. But it does work for hidden buffers. You can use ":hide" to close a window without unloading the buffer. If you don't want a buffer to remain used for the diff do ":set nodiff" before hiding it. :dif :diff :diffupdate :dif[fupdate][!] Update the diff highlighting and folds. Vim attempts to keep the differences updated when you make changes to the text. This mostly takes care of inserted and deleted lines. Changes within a line and more complicated changes do not cause the differences to be updated. To force the differences to be updated use: > :diffupdate If the ! is included Vim will check if the file was changed externally and needs to be reloaded. It will prompt for each changed file, like `:checktime` was used. Vim will show filler lines for lines that are missing in one window but are present in another. These lines were inserted in another file or deleted in this file. Removing "filler" from the 'diffopt' option will make Vim not display these filler lines. Folds are used to hide the text that wasn't changed. See \|folding\| for all the commands that can be used with folds. The context of lines above a difference that are not included in the fold can be set with the 'diffopt' option. For example, to set the context to three lines: > :set diffopt=filler,context:3 The diffs are highlighted with these groups: \|hl-DiffAdd\| DiffAdd Added (inserted) lines. These lines exist in this buffer but not in another. \|hl-DiffChange\| DiffChange Changed lines. \|hl-DiffText\| DiffText Changed text inside a Changed line. Vim finds the first character that is different, and the last character that is different (searching from the end of the line). The text in between is highlighted. This means that parts in the middle that are still the same are highlighted anyway. The 'diffopt' flags "iwhite" and "icase" are used here. \|hl-DiffDelete\| DiffDelete Deleted lines. Also called filler lines, because they don't really exist in this buffer. ============================================================================== 3. Jumping to diffs jumpto-diffs Two commands can be used to jump to diffs: [c [c Jump backwards to the previous start of a change. When a count is used, do it that many times. ]c ]c Jump forwards to the next start of a change. When a count is used, do it that many times. It is an error if there is no change for the cursor to move to. ============================================================================== 4. Diff copying copy-diffs E99 E100 E101 E102 E103 merge There are two commands to copy text from one buffer to another. The result is that the buffers will be equal within the specified range. :diffg :diffget :[range]diffg[et] [bufspec] Modify the current buffer to undo difference with another buffer. If [bufspec] is given, that buffer is used. If [bufspec] refers to the current buffer then nothing happens. Otherwise this only works if there is one other buffer in diff mode. See below for [range]. :diffpu :diffput E793 :[range]diffpu[t] [bufspec] Modify another buffer to undo difference with the current buffer. Just like ":diffget" but the other buffer is modified instead of the current one. When [bufspec] is omitted and there is more than one other buffer in diff mode where 'modifiable' is set this fails. See below for [range]. do [count]do Same as ":diffget" without range. The "o" stands for "obtain" ("dg" can't be used, it could be the start of "dgg"!). Note: this doesn't work in Visual mode. If you give a [count], it is used as the [bufspec] argument for ":diffget". dp [count]dp Same as ":diffput" without range. Note: this doesn't work in Visual mode. If you give a [count], it is used as the [bufspec] argument for ":diffput". When no [range] is given, the diff at the cursor position or just above it is affected. When [range] is used, Vim tries to only put or get the specified lines. When there are deleted lines, this may not always be possible. There can be deleted lines below the last line of the buffer. When the cursor is on the last line in the buffer and there is no diff above this line, the ":diffget" and "do" commands will obtain lines from the other buffer. To be able to get those lines from another buffer in a [range] it's allowed to use the last line number plus one. This command gets all diffs from the other buffer: > :1,$+1diffget Note that deleted lines are displayed, but not counted as text lines. You can't move the cursor into them. To fill the deleted lines with the lines from another buffer use ":diffget" on the line below them. E787 When the buffer that is about to be modified is read-only and the autocommand that is triggered by \|FileChangedRO\| changes buffers the command will fail. The autocommand must not change buffers. The [bufspec] argument above can be a buffer number, a pattern for a buffer name or a part of a buffer name. Examples: :diffget Use the other buffer which is in diff mode :diffget 3 Use buffer 3 :diffget v2 Use the buffer which matches "v2" and is in diff mode (e.g., "file.c.v2") ============================================================================== 5. Diff options diff-options Also see \|'diffopt'\| and the "diff" item of \|'fillchars'\|. diff-slow diff_translations For very long lines, the diff syntax highlighting might be slow, especially since it tries to match all different kind of localisations. To disable localisations and speed up the syntax highlighting, set the global variable g:diff_translations to zero: > let g:diff_translations = 0 < After setting this variable, reload the syntax script: > set syntax=diff < FINDING THE DIFFERENCES diff-diffexpr The 'diffexpr' option can be set to use something else than the standard "diff" program to compare two files and find the differences. E959 When 'diffexpr' is empty, Vim uses this command to find the differences between file1 and file2: > diff file1 file2 > outfile The ">" is replaced with the value of 'shellredir'. The output of "diff" must be a normal "ed" style diff or a unified diff. Do NOT use a context diff. This example explains the format that Vim expects for the "ed" style diff: > 1a2 > bbb 4d4 < 111 7c7 < GGG --- > ggg The "1a2" item appends the line "bbb". The "4d4" item deletes the line "111". The "7c7" item replaces the line "GGG" with "ggg". When 'diffexpr' is not empty, Vim evaluates it to obtain a diff file in the format mentioned. These variables are set to the file names used: v:fname_in original file v:fname_new new version of the same file v:fname_out resulting diff file Additionally, 'diffexpr' should take care of "icase" and "iwhite" in the 'diffopt' option. 'diffexpr' cannot change the value of 'lines' and 'columns'. Example (this does almost the same as 'diffexpr' being empty): > set diffexpr=MyDiff() function MyDiff() let opt = "" if &diffopt =~ "icase" let opt = opt . "-i " endif if &diffopt =~ "iwhite" let opt = opt . "-b " endif silent execute "!diff -a --binary " . opt . v:fname_in . " " . v:fname_new . \ " > " . v:fname_out redraw! endfunction The "-a" argument is used to force comparing the files as text, comparing as binaries isn't useful. The "--binary" argument makes the files read in binary mode, so that a CTRL-Z doesn't end the text on DOS. The `redraw!` command may not be needed, depending on whether executing a shell command shows something on the display or not. E810 E97 Vim will do a test if the diff output looks alright. If it doesn't, you will get an error message. Possible causes: - The "diff" program cannot be executed. - The "diff" program doesn't produce normal "ed" style diffs (see above). - The 'shell' and associated options are not set correctly. Try if filtering works with a command like ":!sort". - You are using 'diffexpr' and it doesn't work. If it's not clear what the problem is set the 'verbose' option to one or more to see more messages. The self-installing Vim for MS-Windows includes a diff program. If you don't have it you might want to download a diff.exe. For example from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/diffutils.htm. USING PATCHES diff-patchexpr The 'patchexpr' option can be set to use something else than the standard "patch" program. When 'patchexpr' is empty, Vim will call the "patch" program like this: > patch -o outfile origfile < patchfile This should work fine with most versions of the "patch" program. Note that a CR in the middle of a line may cause problems, it is seen as a line break. If the default doesn't work for you, set the 'patchexpr' to an expression that will have the same effect. These variables are set to the file names used: v:fname_in original file v:fname_diff patch file v:fname_out resulting patched file Example (this does the same as 'patchexpr' being empty): > set patchexpr=MyPatch() function MyPatch() :call system("patch -o " . v:fname_out . " " . v:fname_in . \ " < " . v:fname_diff) endfunction Make sure that using the "patch" program doesn't have unwanted side effects. For example, watch out for additionally generated files, which should be deleted. It should just patch the file and nothing else. Vim will change directory to "/tmp" or another temp directory before evaluating 'patchexpr'. This hopefully avoids that files in the current directory are accidentally patched. Vim will also delete files starting with v:fname_in and ending in ".rej" and ".orig". vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	16.63 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 digraph.txt digraph.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Jul 16 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Digraphs digraph digraphs Digraphs Digraphs are used to enter characters that normally cannot be entered by an ordinary keyboard. These are mostly printable non-ASCII characters. The digraphs are easier to remember than the decimal number that can be entered with CTRL-V (see \|i_CTRL-V\|). There is a brief introduction on digraphs in the user manual: \|24.9\| An alternative is using the 'keymap' option. 1. Defining digraphs \|digraphs-define\| 2. Using digraphs \|digraphs-use\| 3. Default digraphs \|digraphs-default\| ============================================================================== 1. Defining digraphs digraphs-define :dig :digraphs :dig[raphs][!] Show currently defined digraphs. With [!] headers are used to make it a bit easier to find a specific character. E104 E39 :dig[raphs] {char1}{char2} {number} ... Add digraph {char1}{char2} to the list. {number} is the decimal representation of the character. Normally it is the Unicode character, see \|digraph-encoding\|. Example: > :digr e: 235 a: 228 < You can use `:exe` to enter a hex number: > :exe 'digr += ' .. 0x2A72 < Avoid defining a digraph with '_' (underscore) as the first character, it has a special meaning in the future. Vim is normally compiled with the \|+digraphs\| feature. If the feature is disabled, the ":digraph" command will display an error message. Example of the output of ":digraphs": > TH Þ 222 ss ß 223 a! à 224 a' á 225 a> â 226 a? ã 227 a: ä 228 The first two characters in each column are the characters you have to type to enter the digraph. In the middle of each column is the resulting character. This may be mangled if you look at it on a system that does not support digraphs or if you print this file. digraph-encoding The decimal number normally is the Unicode number of the character. Note that the meaning doesn't change when 'encoding' changes. The character will be converted from Unicode to 'encoding' when needed. This does require the conversion to be available, it might fail. For the NUL character you will see "10". That's because NUL characters are internally represented with a NL character. When you write the file it will become a NUL character. Example: > digraph oe 339 This defines the "oe" digraph for a character that is number 339 in Unicode. ============================================================================== 2. Using digraphs digraphs-use There are two methods to enter digraphs: i_digraph CTRL-K {char1} {char2} or {char1} <BS> {char2} The first is always available; the second only when the 'digraph' option is set. If a digraph with {char1}{char2} does not exist, Vim searches for a digraph {char2}{char1}. This helps when you don't remember which character comes first. Note that when you enter CTRL-K {char1}, where {char1} is a special key, Vim enters the code for that special key. This is not a digraph. Once you have entered the digraph, Vim treats the character like a normal character that occupies only one character in the file and on the screen. Example: > 'B' <BS> 'B' will enter the broken '\|' character (166) 'a' <BS> '>' will enter an 'a' with a circumflex (226) CTRL-K '-' '-' will enter a soft hyphen (173) The current digraphs are listed with the ":digraphs" command. Some of the default ones are listed below \|digraph-table\|. For CTRL-K, there is one general digraph: CTRL-K <Space> {char} will enter {char} with the highest bit set. You can use this to enter meta-characters. The <Esc> character cannot be part of a digraph. When hitting <Esc>, Vim stops digraph entry and ends Insert mode or Command-line mode, just like hitting an <Esc> out of digraph context. Use CTRL-V 155 to enter meta-ESC (CSI). If you accidentally typed an 'a' that should be an 'e', you will type 'a' <BS> 'e'. But that is a digraph, so you will not get what you want. To correct this, you will have to type <BS> e again. To avoid this don't set the 'digraph' option and use CTRL-K to enter digraphs. You may have problems using Vim with characters which have a value above 128. For example: You insert ue (u-umlaut) and the editor echoes \334 in Insert mode. After leaving the Insert mode everything is fine. On some Unix systems this means you have to define the environment-variable LC_CTYPE. If you are using csh, then put the following line in your .cshrc: > setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.utf8 (or similar for a different language or country). The value must be a valid locale on your system, i.e. on Unix-like systems it must be present in the output of > locale -a ============================================================================== 3. Default digraphs digraphs-default Vim comes with a set of default digraphs. Check the output of ":digraphs" to see them. On most systems Vim uses the same digraphs. They work for the Unicode and ISO-8859-1 character sets. These default digraphs are taken from the RFC1345 mnemonics. To make it easy to remember the mnemonic, the second character has a standard meaning: char name char meaning ~ Exclamation mark ! Grave Apostrophe ' Acute accent Greater-Than sign > Circumflex accent Question mark ? Tilde Hyphen-Minus - Macron Left parenthesis ( Breve Full stop . Dot above Colon : Diaeresis Comma , Cedilla Underline _ Underline Solidus / Stroke Quotation mark " Double acute accent Semicolon ; Ogonek Less-Than sign < Caron Zero 0 Ring above Two 2 Hook Nine 9 Horn Equals = Cyrillic (= used as second char) Asterisk * Greek Percent sign % Greek/Cyrillic special Plus + smalls: Arabic, capitals: Hebrew Three 3 some Latin/Greek/Cyrillic letters Four 4 Bopomofo Five 5 Hiragana Six 6 Katakana Example: a: is ä and o: is ö These are the RFC1345 digraphs for the one-byte characters. See the output of ":digraphs" for the others. EURO Exception: RFC1345 doesn't specify the euro sign. In Vim the digraph =e was added for this. Note the difference between latin1, where the digraph Cu is used for the currency sign, and latin9 (iso-8859-15), where the digraph =e is used for the euro sign, while both of them are the character 164, 0xa4. For compatibility with zsh Eu can also be used for the euro sign. ROUBLE The rouble sign was added in 2014 as 0x20bd. Vim supports the digraphs =R and =P for this. Note that R= and P= are other characters. digraph-table char digraph hex dec official name ~ ^@ NU 0x00 0 NULL (NUL) ^A SH 0x01 1 START OF HEADING (SOH) ^B SX 0x02 2 START OF TEXT (STX) ^C EX 0x03 3 END OF TEXT (ETX) ^D ET 0x04 4 END OF TRANSMISSION (EOT) ^E EQ 0x05 5 ENQUIRY (ENQ) ^F AK 0x06 6 ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK) ^G BL 0x07 7 BELL (BEL) ^H BS 0x08 8 BACKSPACE (BS) ^I HT 0x09 9 CHARACTER TABULATION (HT) ^@ LF 0x0a 10 LINE FEED (LF) ^K VT 0x0b 11 LINE TABULATION (VT) ^L FF 0x0c 12 FORM FEED (FF) ^M CR 0x0d 13 CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) ^N SO 0x0e 14 SHIFT OUT (SO) ^O SI 0x0f 15 SHIFT IN (SI) ^P DL 0x10 16 DATALINK ESCAPE (DLE) ^Q D1 0x11 17 DEVICE CONTROL ONE (DC1) ^R D2 0x12 18 DEVICE CONTROL TWO (DC2) ^S D3 0x13 19 DEVICE CONTROL THREE (DC3) ^T D4 0x14 20 DEVICE CONTROL FOUR (DC4) ^U NK 0x15 21 NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGE (NAK) ^V SY 0x16 22 SYNCHRONOUS IDLE (SYN) ^W EB 0x17 23 END OF TRANSMISSION BLOCK (ETB) ^X CN 0x18 24 CANCEL (CAN) ^Y EM 0x19 25 END OF MEDIUM (EM) ^Z SB 0x1a 26 SUBSTITUTE (SUB) ^[ EC 0x1b 27 ESCAPE (ESC) ^\ FS 0x1c 28 FILE SEPARATOR (IS4) ^] GS 0x1d 29 GROUP SEPARATOR (IS3) ^^ RS 0x1e 30 RECORD SEPARATOR (IS2) ^_ US 0x1f 31 UNIT SEPARATOR (IS1) SP 0x20 32 SPACE # Nb 0x23 35 NUMBER SIGN $ DO 0x24 36 DOLLAR SIGN @ At 0x40 64 COMMERCIAL AT [ <( 0x5b 91 LEFT SQUARE BRACKET \ // 0x5c 92 REVERSE SOLIDUS ] )> 0x5d 93 RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET ^ '> 0x5e 94 CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT ` '! 0x60 96 GRAVE ACCENT { (! 0x7b 123 LEFT CURLY BRACKET \| !! 0x7c 124 VERTICAL LINE } !) 0x7d 125 RIGHT CURLY BRACKET ~ '? 0x7e 126 TILDE ^?

File Searching \|file-searching\| ============================================================================== 1. Introduction edit-intro Editing a file with Vim means: 1. reading the file into a buffer 2. changing the buffer with editor commands 3. writing the buffer into a file current-file As long as you don't write the buffer, the original file remains unchanged. If you start editing a file (read a file into the buffer), the file name is remembered as the "current file name". This is also known as the name of the current buffer. It can be used with "%" on the command line \|:_%\|. alternate-file If there already was a current file name, then that one becomes the alternate file name. It can be used with "#" on the command line \|:_#\| and you can use the \|CTRL-^\| command to toggle between the current and the alternate file. However, the alternate file name is not changed when \|:keepalt\| is used. An alternate file name is remembered for each window. :keepalt :keepa :keepalt {cmd} Execute {cmd} while keeping the current alternate file name. Note that commands invoked indirectly (e.g., with a function) may still set the alternate file name. All file names are remembered in the buffer list. When you enter a file name, for editing (e.g., with ":e filename") or writing (e.g., with ":w filename"), the file name is added to the list. You can use the buffer list to remember which files you edited and to quickly switch from one file to another (e.g., to copy text) with the \|CTRL-^\| command. First type the number of the file and then hit CTRL-^. CTRL-G or CTRL-G :f :fi :file :f[ile] Prints the current file name (as typed, unless ":cd" was used), the cursor position (unless the 'ruler' option is set), and the file status (readonly, modified, read errors, new file). See the 'shortmess' option about how to make this message shorter. :f[ile]! like \|:file\|, but don't truncate the name even when 'shortmess' indicates this. {count}CTRL-G Like CTRL-G, but prints the current file name with full path. If the count is higher than 1 the current buffer number is also given. g_CTRL-G word-count byte-count g CTRL-G Prints the current position of the cursor in five ways: Column, Line, Word, Character and Byte. If the number of Characters and Bytes is the same then the Character position is omitted. If there are characters in the line that take more than one position on the screen (<Tab> or special character), or characters using more than one byte per column (characters above 0x7F when 'encoding' is utf-8), both the byte column and the screen column are shown, separated by a dash. Also see the 'ruler' option and the \|wordcount()\| function. v_g_CTRL-G {Visual}g CTRL-G Similar to "g CTRL-G", but Word, Character, Line, and Byte counts for the visually selected region are displayed. In Blockwise mode, Column count is also shown. (For {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|.) :file_f :f[ile][!] {name} Sets the current file name to {name}. The optional ! avoids truncating the message, as with \|:file\|. If the buffer did have a name, that name becomes the \|alternate-file\| name. An unlisted buffer is created to hold the old name. :0file :0f[ile][!] Remove the name of the current buffer. The optional ! avoids truncating the message, as with \|:file\|. :buffers :files :ls List all the currently known file names. See \|windows.txt\| \|:files\| \|:buffers\| \|:ls\|. Vim will remember the full path name of a file name that you enter. In most cases when the file name is displayed only the name you typed is shown, but the full path name is being used if you used the ":cd" command \|:cd\|. home-replace If the environment variable $HOME is set, and the file name starts with that string, it is often displayed with HOME replaced with "~". This was done to keep file names short. When reading or writing files the full name is still used, the "~" is only used when displaying file names. When replacing the file name would result in just "~", "~/" is used instead (to avoid confusion between options set to $HOME with 'backupext' set to "~"). When writing the buffer, the default is to use the current file name. Thus when you give the "ZZ" or ":wq" command, the original file will be overwritten. If you do not want this, the buffer can be written into another file by giving a file name argument to the ":write" command. For example: > vim testfile [change the buffer with editor commands] :w newfile :q This will create a file "newfile", that is a modified copy of "testfile". The file "testfile" will remain unchanged. Anyway, if the 'backup' option is set, Vim renames or copies the original file before it will be overwritten. You can use this file if you discover that you need the original file. See also the 'patchmode' option. The name of the backup file is normally the same as the original file with 'backupext' appended. The default "~" is a bit strange to avoid accidentally overwriting existing files. If you prefer ".bak" change the 'backupext' option. Extra dots are replaced with '_' on MS-Windows machines, when Vim has detected that an MS-DOS-like filesystem is being used (e.g., messydos or crossdos) or when the 'shortname' option is on. The backup file can be placed in another directory by setting 'backupdir'. auto-shortname Technical: On the Amiga you can use 30 characters for a file name. But on an MS-DOS-compatible filesystem only 8 plus 3 characters are available. Vim tries to detect the type of filesystem when it is creating the .swp file. If an MS-DOS-like filesystem is suspected, a flag is set that has the same effect as setting the 'shortname' option. This flag will be reset as soon as you start editing a new file. The flag will be used when making the file name for the ".swp" and ".~" files for the current file. But when you are editing a file in a normal filesystem and write to an MS-DOS-like filesystem the flag will not have been set. In that case the creation of the ".~" file may fail and you will get an error message. Use the 'shortname' option in this case. When you started editing without giving a file name, "No File" is displayed in messages. If the ":write" command is used with a file name argument, the file name for the current file is set to that file name. This only happens when the 'F' flag is included in 'cpoptions' (by default it is included) \|cpo-F\|. This is useful when entering text in an empty buffer and then writing it to a file. If 'cpoptions' contains the 'f' flag (by default it is NOT included) \|cpo-f\| the file name is set for the ":read file" command. This is useful when starting Vim without an argument and then doing ":read file" to start editing a file. When the file name was set and 'filetype' is empty the filetype detection autocommands will be triggered. not-edited Because the file name was set without really starting to edit that file, you are protected from overwriting that file. This is done by setting the "notedited" flag. You can see if this flag is set with the CTRL-G or ":file" command. It will include "[Not edited]" when the "notedited" flag is set. When writing the buffer to the current file name (with ":w!"), the "notedited" flag is reset. abandon Vim remembers whether you have changed the buffer. You are protected from losing the changes you made. If you try to quit without writing, or want to start editing another file, Vim will refuse this. In order to overrule this protection, add a '!' to the command. The changes will then be lost. For example: ":q" will not work if the buffer was changed, but ":q!" will. To see whether the buffer was changed use the "CTRL-G" command. The message includes the string "[Modified]" if the buffer has been changed, or "+" if the 'm' flag is in 'shortmess'. If you want to automatically save the changes without asking, switch on the 'autowriteall' option. 'autowrite' is the associated Vi-compatible option that does not work for all commands. If you want to keep the changed buffer without saving it, switch on the 'hidden' option. See \|hidden-buffer\|. Some commands work like this even when 'hidden' is not set, check the help for the command. ============================================================================== 2. Editing a file edit-a-file :e :edit reload :e[dit] [++opt] [+cmd] Edit the current file. This is useful to re-edit the current file, when it has been changed outside of Vim. This fails when changes have been made to the current buffer and 'autowriteall' isn't set or the file can't be written. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :edit! discard :e[dit]! [++opt] [+cmd] Edit the current file always. Discard any changes to the current buffer. This is useful if you want to start all over again. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :edit_f :e[dit] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} Edit {file}. This fails when changes have been made to the current buffer, unless 'hidden' is set or 'autowriteall' is set and the file can be written. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :edit!_f :e[dit]! [++opt] [+cmd] {file} Edit {file} always. Discard any changes to the current buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :e[dit] [++opt] [+cmd] #[count] Edit the [count]th buffer (as shown by \|:files\|). This command does the same as [count] CTRL-^. But ":e #" doesn't work if the alternate buffer doesn't have a file name, while CTRL-^ still works then. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :ene :enew :ene[w] Edit a new, unnamed buffer. This fails when changes have been made to the current buffer, unless 'hidden' is set or 'autowriteall' is set and the file can be written. If 'fileformats' is not empty, the first format given will be used for the new buffer. If 'fileformats' is empty, the 'fileformat' of the current buffer is used. :ene! :enew! :ene[w]! Edit a new, unnamed buffer. Discard any changes to the current buffer. Set 'fileformat' like \|:enew\|. :fin :find :fin[d][!] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} Find {file} in 'path' and then \|:edit\| it. {not available when the \|+file_in_path\| feature was disabled at compile time} :{count}fin[d][!] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} Just like ":find", but use the {count} match in 'path'. Thus ":2find file" will find the second "file" found in 'path'. When there are fewer matches for the file in 'path' than asked for, you get an error message. :ex :ex [++opt] [+cmd] [file] Same as \|:edit\|. :vi :visual :vi[sual][!] [++opt] [+cmd] [file] When used in Ex mode: Leave \|Ex-mode\|, go back to Normal mode. Otherwise same as \|:edit\|. :vie :view :vie[w][!] [++opt] [+cmd] file When used in Ex mode: Leave \|Ex-mode\|, go back to Normal mode. Otherwise same as \|:edit\|, but set 'readonly' option for this buffer. CTRL-^ CTRL-6 CTRL-^ Edit the alternate file. Mostly the alternate file is the previously edited file. This is a quick way to toggle between two files. It is equivalent to ":e #", except that it also works when there is no file name. If the 'autowrite' or 'autowriteall' option is on and the buffer was changed, write it. Mostly the ^ character is positioned on the 6 key, pressing CTRL and 6 then gets you what we call CTRL-^. But on some non-US keyboards CTRL-^ is produced in another way. {count}CTRL-^ Edit [count]th file in the buffer list (equivalent to ":e #[count]"). This is a quick way to switch between files. See \|CTRL-^\| above for further details. [count]]f ]f [f [count][f Same as "gf". Deprecated. gf E446 E447 [count]gf Edit the file whose name is under or after the cursor. Mnemonic: "goto file". Uses the 'isfname' option to find out which characters are supposed to be in a file name. Trailing punctuation characters ".,:;!" are ignored. Escaped spaces "\ " are reduced to a single space. Uses the 'path' option as a list of directory names to look for the file. See the 'path' option for details about relative directories and wildcards. Uses the 'suffixesadd' option to check for file names with a suffix added. If the file can't be found, 'includeexpr' is used to modify the name and another attempt is done. If a [count] is given, the count'th file that is found in the 'path' is edited. This command fails if Vim refuses to \|abandon\| the current file. If you want to edit the file in a new window use \|CTRL-W_CTRL-F\|. If you do want to edit a new file, use: > :e <cfile> < To make gf always work like that: > :map gf :e <cfile><CR> < If the name is a hypertext link, that looks like "type://machine/path", you need the \|netrw\| plugin. For Unix the '~' character is expanded, like in "~user/file". Environment variables are expanded too \|expand-env\|. {not available when the \|+file_in_path\| feature was disabled at compile time} v_gf {Visual}[count]gf Same as "gf", but the highlighted text is used as the name of the file to edit. 'isfname' is ignored. Leading blanks are skipped, otherwise all blanks and special characters are included in the file name. (For {Visual} see \|Visual-mode\|.) gF [count]gF Same as "gf", except if a number follows the file name, then the cursor is positioned on that line in the file. The file name and the number must be separated by a non-filename (see 'isfname') and non-numeric character. " line " is also recognized, like it is used in the output of `:verbose command UserCmd` White space between the filename, the separator and the number are ignored. Examples: eval.c:10 ~ eval.c @ 20 ~ eval.c (30) ~ eval.c 40 ~ v_gF {Visual}[count]gF Same as "v_gf". These commands are used to start editing a single file. This means that the file is read into the buffer and the current file name is set. The file that is opened depends on the current directory, see \|:cd\|. See \|read-messages\| for an explanation of the message that is given after the file has been read. You can use the ":e!" command if you messed up the buffer and want to start all over again. The ":e" command is only useful if you have changed the current file name. :filename {file} Besides the things mentioned here, more special items for where a filename is expected are mentioned at \|cmdline-special\|. Note for systems other than Unix: When using a command that accepts a single file name (like ":edit file") spaces in the file name are allowed, but trailing spaces are ignored. This is useful on systems that regularly embed spaces in file names (like MS-Windows and the Amiga). Example: The command ":e Long File Name " will edit the file "Long File Name". When using a command that accepts more than one file name (like ":next file1 file2") embedded spaces must be escaped with a backslash. wildcard wildcards Wildcards in {file} are expanded, but as with file completion, 'wildignore' and 'suffixes' apply. Which wildcards are supported depends on the system. These are the common ones: ? matches one character * matches anything, including nothing ** matches anything, including nothing, recurses into directories [abc] match 'a', 'b' or 'c' To avoid the special meaning of the wildcards prepend a backslash. However, on MS-Windows the backslash is a path separator and "path\[abc]" is still seen as a wildcard when "[" is in the 'isfname' option. A simple way to avoid this is to use "path\[[]abc]", this matches the file "path\[abc]". starstar-wildcard Expanding "" is possible on Unix, Win32, Mac OS/X and a few other systems. This allows searching a directory tree. This goes up to 100 directories deep. Note there are some commands where this works slightly differently, see \|file-searching\|. Example: > :n /.txt Finds files: aaa.txt ~ subdir/bbb.txt ~ a/b/c/d/ccc.txt ~ When non-wildcard characters are used right before or after "" these are only matched in the top directory. They are not used for directories further down in the tree. For example: > :n /usr/inc/types.h Finds files: /usr/include/types.h ~ /usr/include/sys/types.h ~ /usr/inc/old/types.h ~ Note that the path with "/sys" is included because it does not need to match "/inc". Thus it's like matching "/usr/inc//...", not "/usr/inc/inc/inc". backtick-expansion* `-expansion On Unix and a few other systems you can also use backticks for the file name argument, for example: > :next `find . -name ver\\.c -print` :view `ls -t .patch \\| head -n1` Vim will run the command in backticks using the 'shell' and use the standard output as argument for the given Vim command (error messages from the shell command will be discarded). To see what shell command Vim is running, set the 'verbose' option to 4. When the shell command returns a non-zero exit code, an error message will be displayed and the Vim command will be aborted. To avoid this make the shell always return zero like so: > :next `find . -name ver\\.c -print \\|\\| true` The backslashes before the star are required to prevent the shell from expanding "ver.c" prior to execution of the find program. The backslash before the shell pipe symbol "\|" prevents Vim from parsing it as command termination. This also works for most other systems, with the restriction that the backticks must be around the whole item. It is not possible to have text directly before the first or just after the last backtick. `= You can have the backticks expanded as a Vim expression, instead of as an external command, by putting an equal sign right after the first backtick, e.g.: > :e `=tempname()` The expression can contain just about anything, thus this can also be used to avoid the special meaning of '"', '\|', '%' and '#'. However, 'wildignore' does apply like to other wildcards. Environment variables in the expression are expanded when evaluating the expression, thus this works: > :e `=$HOME . '/.vimrc'` This does not work, $HOME is inside a string and used literally: > :e `='$HOME' . '/.vimrc'` If the expression returns a string then names are to be separated with line breaks. When the result is a \|List\| then each item is used as a name. Line breaks also separate names. Note that such expressions are only supported in places where a filename is expected as an argument to an Ex-command. ++opt [++opt] The [++opt] argument can be used to force the value of 'fileformat', 'fileencoding' or 'binary' to a value for one command, and to specify the behavior for bad characters. The form is: > ++{optname} Or: > ++{optname}={value} Where {optname} is one of: ++ff ++enc ++bin ++nobin ++edit ff or fileformat overrides 'fileformat' enc or encoding overrides 'fileencoding' bin or binary sets 'binary' nobin or nobinary resets 'binary' bad specifies behavior for bad characters edit for \|:read\| only: keep option values as if editing a file {value} cannot contain white space. It can be any valid value for these options. Examples: > :e ++ff=unix This edits the same file again with 'fileformat' set to "unix". > :w ++enc=latin1 newfile This writes the current buffer to "newfile" in latin1 format. The message given when writing a file will show "[converted]" when 'fileencoding' or the value specified with ++enc differs from 'encoding'. There may be several ++opt arguments, separated by white space. They must all appear before any \|+cmd\| argument. ++bad The argument of "++bad=" specifies what happens with characters that can't be converted and illegal bytes. It can be one of three things: ++bad=X A single-byte character that replaces each bad character. ++bad=keep Keep bad characters without conversion. Note that this may result in illegal bytes in your text! ++bad=drop Remove the bad characters. The default is like "++bad=?": Replace each bad character with a question mark. In some places an inverted question mark is used (0xBF). Note that not all commands use the ++bad argument, even though they do not give an error when you add it. E.g. \|:write\|. Note that when reading, the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' options will be set to the used format. When writing this doesn't happen, thus a next write will use the old value of the option. Same for the 'binary' option. +cmd [+cmd] The [+cmd] argument can be used to position the cursor in the newly opened file, or execute any other command: + Start at the last line. +{num} Start at line {num}. +/{pat} Start at first line containing {pat}. +{command} Execute {command} after opening the new file. {command} is any Ex command. To include a white space in the {pat} or {command}, precede it with a backslash. Double the number of backslashes. > :edit +/The\ book file :edit +/dir\ dirname\\ file :edit +set\ dir=c:\\\\temp file Note that in the last example the number of backslashes is halved twice: Once for the "+cmd" argument and once for the ":set" command. file-formats The 'fileformat' option sets the <EOL> style for a file: 'fileformat' characters name ~ "dos" <CR><NL> or <NL> DOS format DOS-format "unix" <NL> Unix format Unix-format "mac" <CR> Mac format Mac-format Previously 'textmode' was used. It is obsolete now. When reading a file, the mentioned characters are interpreted as the <EOL>. In DOS format (default for Win32), <CR><NL> and <NL> are both interpreted as the <EOL>. Note that when writing the file in DOS format, <CR> characters will be added for each single <NL>. Also see \|file-read\|. When writing a file, the mentioned characters are used for <EOL>. For DOS format <CR><NL> is used. Also see \|DOS-format-write\|. You can read a file in DOS format and write it in Unix format. This will replace all <CR><NL> pairs by <NL> (assuming 'fileformats' includes "dos"): > :e file :set fileformat=unix :w If you read a file in Unix format and write with DOS format, all <NL> characters will be replaced with <CR><NL> (assuming 'fileformats' includes "unix"): > :e file :set fileformat=dos :w If you start editing a new file and the 'fileformats' option is not empty (which is the default), Vim will try to detect whether the lines in the file are separated by the specified formats. When set to "unix,dos", Vim will check for lines with a single <NL> (as used on Unix and Amiga) or by a <CR> <NL> pair (MS-Windows). Only when ALL lines end in <CR><NL>, 'fileformat' is set to "dos", otherwise it is set to "unix". When 'fileformats' includes "mac", and no <NL> characters are found in the file, 'fileformat' is set to "mac". If the 'fileformat' option is set to "dos" on non-MS-Windows systems the message "[dos format]" is shown to remind you that something unusual is happening. On MS-Windows systems you get the message "[unix format]" if 'fileformat' is set to "unix". On all systems but the Macintosh you get the message "[mac format]" if 'fileformat' is set to "mac". If the 'fileformats' option is empty and DOS format is used, but while reading a file some lines did not end in <CR><NL>, "[CR missing]" will be included in the file message. If the 'fileformats' option is empty and Mac format is used, but while reading a file a <NL> was found, "[NL missing]" will be included in the file message. If the new file does not exist, the 'fileformat' of the current buffer is used when 'fileformats' is empty. Otherwise the first format from 'fileformats' is used for the new file. Before editing binary, executable or Vim script files you should set the 'binary' option. A simple way to do this is by starting Vim with the "-b" option. This will avoid the use of 'fileformat'. Without this you risk that single <NL> characters are unexpectedly replaced with <CR><NL>. You can encrypt files that are written by setting the 'key' option. This provides some security against others reading your files. \|encryption\| ============================================================================== 3. The argument list argument-list arglist If you give more than one file name when starting Vim, this list is remembered as the argument list. You can jump to each file in this list. Do not confuse this with the buffer list, which you can see with the \|:buffers\| command. The argument list was already present in Vi, the buffer list is new in Vim. Every file name in the argument list will also be present in the buffer list (unless it was deleted with \|:bdel\| or \|:bwipe\|). But it's common that names in the buffer list are not in the argument list. This subject is introduced in section \|07.2\| of the user manual. There is one global argument list, which is used for all windows by default. It is possible to create a new argument list local to a window, see \|:arglocal\|. You can use the argument list with the following commands, and with the expression functions \|argc()\| and \|argv()\|. These all work on the argument list of the current window. :ar :arg :args :ar[gs] Print the argument list, with the current file in square brackets. :ar[gs] [++opt] [+cmd] {arglist} :args_f Define {arglist} as the new argument list and edit the first one. This fails when changes have been made and Vim does not want to \|abandon\| the current buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :ar[gs]! [++opt] [+cmd] {arglist} :args_f! Define {arglist} as the new argument list and edit the first one. Discard any changes to the current buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]arge[dit][!] [++opt] [+cmd] {name} .. :arge :argedit Add {name}s to the argument list and edit it. When {name} already exists in the argument list, this entry is edited. This is like using \|:argadd\| and then \|:edit\|. Spaces in filenames have to be escaped with "\". [count] is used like with \|:argadd\|. If the current file cannot be \|abandon\|ed {name}s will still be added to the argument list, but won't be edited. No check for duplicates is done. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]arga[dd] {name} .. :arga :argadd E479 :[count]arga[dd] Add the {name}s to the argument list. When {name} is omitted add the current buffer name to the argument list. If [count] is omitted, the {name}s are added just after the current entry in the argument list. Otherwise they are added after the [count]'th file. If the argument list is "a b c", and "b" is the current argument, then these commands result in: command new argument list ~ :argadd x a b x c :0argadd x x a b c :1argadd x a x b c :$argadd x a b c x And after the last one: :+2argadd y a b c x y There is no check for duplicates, it is possible to add a file to the argument list twice. The currently edited file is not changed. Note: you can also use this method: > :args ## x < This will add the "x" item and sort the new list. :argd[elete] {pattern} .. :argd :argdelete E480 E610 Delete files from the argument list that match the {pattern}s. {pattern} is used like a file pattern, see \|file-pattern\|. "%" can be used to delete the current entry. This command keeps the currently edited file, also when it's deleted from the argument list. Example: > :argdel .obj :[range]argd[elete] Delete the [range] files from the argument list. Example: > :10,$argdel < Deletes arguments 10 and further, keeping 1-9. > :$argd < Deletes just the last one. > :argd :.argd < Deletes the current argument. > :%argd < Removes all the files from the arglist. When the last number in the range is too high, up to the last argument is deleted. :argu* :argument :[count]argu[ment] [count] [++opt] [+cmd] Edit file [count] in the argument list. When [count] is omitted the current entry is used. This fails when changes have been made and Vim does not want to \|abandon\| the current buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]argu[ment]! [count] [++opt] [+cmd] Edit file [count] in the argument list, discard any changes to the current buffer. When [count] is omitted the current entry is used. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]n[ext] [++opt] [+cmd] :n :ne :next E165 E163 Edit [count] next file. This fails when changes have been made and Vim does not want to \|abandon\| the current buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]n[ext]! [++opt] [+cmd] Edit [count] next file, discard any changes to the buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :n[ext] [++opt] [+cmd] {arglist} :next_f Same as \|:args_f\|. :n[ext]! [++opt] [+cmd] {arglist} Same as \|:args_f!\|. :[count]N[ext] [count] [++opt] [+cmd] :Next :N E164 Edit [count] previous file in argument list. This fails when changes have been made and Vim does not want to \|abandon\| the current buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]N[ext]! [count] [++opt] [+cmd] Edit [count] previous file in argument list. Discard any changes to the buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]prev[ious] [count] [++opt] [+cmd] :prev :previous Same as :Next. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :rew :rewind :rew[ind] [++opt] [+cmd] Start editing the first file in the argument list. This fails when changes have been made and Vim does not want to \|abandon\| the current buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :rew[ind]! [++opt] [+cmd] Start editing the first file in the argument list. Discard any changes to the buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :fir :first :fir[st][!] [++opt] [+cmd] Other name for ":rewind". :la :last :la[st] [++opt] [+cmd] Start editing the last file in the argument list. This fails when changes have been made and Vim does not want to \|abandon\| the current buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :la[st]! [++opt] [+cmd] Start editing the last file in the argument list. Discard any changes to the buffer. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :wn :wnext :[count]wn[ext] [++opt] Write current file and start editing the [count] next file. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]wn[ext] [++opt] {file} Write current file to {file} and start editing the [count] next file, unless {file} already exists and the 'writeany' option is off. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]wn[ext]! [++opt] {file} Write current file to {file} and start editing the [count] next file. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[count]wN[ext][!] [++opt] [file] :wN :wNext :[count]wp[revious][!] [++opt] [file] :wp :wprevious Same as :wnext, but go to previous file instead of next. The [count] in the commands above defaults to one. For some commands it is possible to use two counts. The last one (rightmost one) is used. If no [+cmd] argument is present, the cursor is positioned at the last known cursor position for the file. If 'startofline' is set, the cursor will be positioned at the first non-blank in the line, otherwise the last know column is used. If there is no last known cursor position the cursor will be in the first line (the last line in Ex mode). {arglist} The wildcards in the argument list are expanded and the file names are sorted. Thus you can use the command "vim .c" to edit all the C files. From within Vim the command ":n .c" does the same. White space is used to separate file names. Put a backslash before a space or tab to include it in a file name. E.g., to edit the single file "foo bar": > :next foo\ bar On Unix and a few other systems you can also use backticks, for example: > :next `find . -name \\.c -print` The backslashes before the star are required to prevent ".c" to be expanded by the shell before executing the find program. arglist-position When there is an argument list you can see which file you are editing in the title of the window (if there is one and 'title' is on) and with the file message you get with the "CTRL-G" command. You will see something like (file 4 of 11) If 'shortmess' contains 'f' it will be (4 of 11) If you are not really editing the file at the current position in the argument list it will be (file (4) of 11) This means that you are position 4 in the argument list, but not editing the fourth file in the argument list. This happens when you do ":e file". LOCAL ARGUMENT LIST :arglocal :argl[ocal] Make a local copy of the global argument list. Doesn't start editing another file. :argl[ocal][!] [++opt] [+cmd] {arglist} Define a new argument list, which is local to the current window. Works like \|:args_f\| otherwise. :argglobal :argg[lobal] Use the global argument list for the current window. Doesn't start editing another file. :argg[lobal][!] [++opt] [+cmd] {arglist} Use the global argument list for the current window. Define a new global argument list like \|:args_f\|. All windows using the global argument list will see this new list. There can be several argument lists. They can be shared between windows. When they are shared, changing the argument list in one window will also change it in the other window. When a window is split the new window inherits the argument list from the current window. The two windows then share this list, until one of them uses \|:arglocal\| or \|:argglobal\| to use another argument list. USING THE ARGUMENT LIST :argdo :[range]argdo[!] {cmd} Execute {cmd} for each file in the argument list or if [range] is specified only for arguments in that range. It works like doing this: > :rewind :{cmd} :next :{cmd} etc. < When the current file can't be \|abandon\|ed and the [!] is not present, the command fails. When an error is detected on one file, further files in the argument list will not be visited. The last file in the argument list (or where an error occurred) becomes the current file. {cmd} can contain '\|' to concatenate several commands. {cmd} must not change the argument list. Note: While this command is executing, the Syntax autocommand event is disabled by adding it to 'eventignore'. This considerably speeds up editing each file. Also see \|:windo\|, \|:tabdo\|, \|:bufdo\|, \|:cdo\|, \|:ldo\|, \|:cfdo\| and \|:lfdo\| Example: > :args .c :argdo set ff=unix \| update This sets the 'fileformat' option to "unix" and writes the file if it is now changed. This is done for all .c files. Example: > :args .[ch] :argdo %s/\<my_foo\>/My_Foo/ge \| update This changes the word "my_foo" to "My_Foo" in all .c and .h files. The "e" flag is used for the ":substitute" command to avoid an error for files where "my_foo" isn't used. ":update" writes the file only if changes were made. ============================================================================== 4. Writing writing* save-file Note: When the 'write' option is off, you are not able to write any file. :w :write E502 E503 E504 E505 E512 E514 E667 E796 E949 :w[rite] [++opt] Write the whole buffer to the current file. This is the normal way to save changes to a file. It fails when the 'readonly' option is set or when there is another reason why the file can't be written. For ++opt see \|++opt\|, but only ++bin, ++nobin, ++ff and ++enc are effective. :w[rite]! [++opt] Like ":write", but forcefully write when 'readonly' is set or there is another reason why writing was refused. Note: This may change the permission and ownership of the file and break (symbolic) links. Add the 'W' flag to 'cpoptions' to avoid this. :[range]w[rite][!] [++opt] Write the specified lines to the current file. This is unusual, because the file will not contain all lines in the buffer. :w_f :write_f :[range]w[rite] [++opt] {file} Write the specified lines to {file}, unless it already exists and the 'writeany' option is off. :w! :[range]w[rite]! [++opt] {file} Write the specified lines to {file}. Overwrite an existing file. :w_a :write_a E494 :[range]w[rite][!] [++opt] >> Append the specified lines to the current file. :[range]w[rite][!] [++opt] >> {file} Append the specified lines to {file}. '!' forces the write even if file does not exist. :w_c :write_c :[range]w[rite] [++opt] !{cmd} Execute {cmd} with [range] lines as standard input (note the space in front of the '!'). {cmd} is executed like with ":!{cmd}", any '!' is replaced with the previous command \|:!\|. The default [range] for the ":w" command is the whole buffer (1,$). If you write the whole buffer, it is no longer considered changed. When you write it to a different file with ":w somefile" it depends on the "+" flag in 'cpoptions'. When included, the write command will reset the 'modified' flag, even though the buffer itself may still be different from its file. If a file name is given with ":w" it becomes the alternate file. This can be used, for example, when the write fails and you want to try again later with ":w #". This can be switched off by removing the 'A' flag from the 'cpoptions' option. Note that the 'fsync' option matters here. If it's set it may make writes slower (but safer). :sav :saveas :sav[eas][!] [++opt] {file} Save the current buffer under the name {file} and set the filename of the current buffer to {file}. The previous name is used for the alternate file name. The [!] is needed to overwrite an existing file. When 'filetype' is empty filetype detection is done with the new name, before the file is written. When the write was successful 'readonly' is reset. :up :update :[range]up[date][!] [++opt] [>>] [file] Like ":write", but only write when the buffer has been modified. WRITING WITH MULTIPLE BUFFERS buffer-write :wa :wall :wa[ll] Write all changed buffers. Buffers without a file name cause an error message. Buffers which are readonly are not written. :wa[ll]! Write all changed buffers, even the ones that are readonly. Buffers without a file name are not written and cause an error message. Vim will warn you if you try to overwrite a file that has been changed elsewhere. See \|timestamp\|. backup E207 E506 E507 E508 E509 E510 If you write to an existing file (but do not append) while the 'backup', 'writebackup' or 'patchmode' option is on, a backup of the original file is made. The file is either copied or renamed (see 'backupcopy'). After the file has been successfully written and when the 'writebackup' option is on and the 'backup' option is off, the backup file is deleted. When the 'patchmode' option is on the backup file may be renamed. backup-table 'backup' 'writebackup' action ~ off off no backup made off on backup current file, deleted afterwards (default) on off delete old backup, backup current file on on delete old backup, backup current file When the 'backupskip' pattern matches with the name of the file which is written, no backup file is made. The values of 'backup' and 'writebackup' are ignored then. When the 'backup' option is on, an old backup file (with the same name as the new backup file) will be deleted. If 'backup' is not set, but 'writebackup' is set, an existing backup file will not be deleted. The backup file that is made while the file is being written will have a different name. On some filesystems it's possible that in a crash you lose both the backup and the newly written file (it might be there but contain bogus data). In that case try recovery, because the swap file is synced to disk and might still be there. \|:recover\| The directories given with the 'backupdir' option are used to put the backup file in. (default: same directory as the written file). Whether the backup is a new file, which is a copy of the original file, or the original file renamed depends on the 'backupcopy' option. See there for an explanation of when the copy is made and when the file is renamed. If the creation of a backup file fails, the write is not done. If you want to write anyway add a '!' to the command. write-permissions When writing a new file the permissions are read-write. For unix the mask is 0o666 with additionally umask applied. When writing a file that was read Vim will preserve the permissions, but clear the s-bit. write-readonly When the 'cpoptions' option contains 'W', Vim will refuse to overwrite a readonly file. When 'W' is not present, ":w!" will overwrite a readonly file, if the system allows it (the directory must be writable). write-fail If the writing of the new file fails, you have to be careful not to lose your changes AND the original file. If there is no backup file and writing the new file failed, you have already lost the original file! DON'T EXIT VIM UNTIL YOU WRITE OUT THE FILE! If a backup was made, it is put back in place of the original file (if possible). If you exit Vim, and lose the changes you made, the original file will mostly still be there. If putting back the original file fails, there will be an error message telling you that you lost the original file. DOS-format-write If the 'fileformat' is "dos", <CR><NL> is used for <EOL>. This is default for Win32. On other systems the message "[dos format]" is shown to remind you that an unusual <EOL> was used. Unix-format-write If the 'fileformat' is "unix", <NL> is used for <EOL>. On Win32 the message "[unix format]" is shown. Mac-format-write If the 'fileformat' is "mac", <CR> is used for <EOL>. On non-Mac systems the message "[mac format]" is shown. See also \|file-formats\| and the 'fileformat' and 'fileformats' options. ACL ACL stands for Access Control List. It is an advanced way to control access rights for a file. It is used on new MS-Windows and Unix systems, but only when the filesystem supports it. Vim attempts to preserve the ACL info when writing a file. The backup file will get the ACL info of the original file. The ACL info is also used to check if a file is read-only (when opening the file). read-only-share When MS-Windows shares a drive on the network it can be marked as read-only. This means that even if the file read-only attribute is absent, and the ACL settings on NT network shared drives allow writing to the file, you can still not write to the file. Vim on Win32 platforms will detect read-only network drives and will mark the file as read-only. You will not be able to override it with \|:write\|. write-device When the file name is actually a device name, Vim will not make a backup (that would be impossible). You need to use "!", since the device already exists. Example for Unix: > :w! /dev/lpt0 and for MS-Windows: > :w! lpt0 For Unix a device is detected when the name doesn't refer to a normal file or a directory. A fifo or named pipe also looks like a device to Vim. For MS-Windows the device is detected by its name: AUX CON CLOCK$ NUL PRN COMn n=1,2,3... etc LPTn n=1,2,3... etc The names can be in upper- or lowercase. ============================================================================== 5. Writing and quitting write-quit :q :quit :q[uit] Quit the current window. Quit Vim if this is the last \|edit-window\|. This fails when changes have been made and Vim refuses to \|abandon\| the current buffer, and when the last file in the argument list has not been edited. If there are other tab pages and quitting the last window in the current tab page the current tab page is closed \|tab-page\|. Triggers the \|QuitPre\| autocommand event. See \|CTRL-W_q\| for quitting another window. :conf[irm] q[uit] Quit, but give prompt when changes have been made, or the last file in the argument list has not been edited. See \|:confirm\| and 'confirm'. :q[uit]! Quit without writing, also when the current buffer has changes. The buffer is unloaded, also when it has 'hidden' set. If this is the last window and there is a modified hidden buffer, the current buffer is abandoned and the first changed hidden buffer becomes the current buffer. Use ":qall!" to exit always. :cq[uit] Quit always, without writing, and return an error code. See \|:cq\|. Used for Manx's QuickFix mode (see \|quickfix\|). :wq :wq [++opt] Write the current file and close the window. If this was the last \|edit-window\| Vim quits. Writing fails when the file is read-only or the buffer does not have a name. Quitting fails when the last file in the argument list has not been edited. :wq! [++opt] Write the current file and close the window. If this was the last \|edit-window\| Vim quits. Writing fails when the current buffer does not have a name. :wq [++opt] {file} Write to {file} and close the window. If this was the last \|edit-window\| Vim quits. Quitting fails when the last file in the argument list has not been edited. :wq! [++opt] {file} Write to {file} and close the current window. Quit Vim if this was the last \|edit-window\|. :[range]wq[!] [++opt] [file] Same as above, but only write the lines in [range]. :x :xit :[range]x[it][!] [++opt] [file] Like ":wq", but write only when changes have been made. When 'hidden' is set and there are more windows, the current buffer becomes hidden, after writing the file. :exi :exit :[range]exi[t][!] [++opt] [file] Same as :xit. ZZ ZZ Write current file, if modified, and close the current window (same as ":x"). If there are several windows for the current file, only the current window is closed. ZQ ZQ Quit without checking for changes (same as ":q!"). MULTIPLE WINDOWS AND BUFFERS window-exit :qa :qall :qa[ll] Exit Vim, unless there are some buffers which have been changed. (Use ":bmod" to go to the next modified buffer). When 'autowriteall' is set all changed buffers will be written, like \|:wqall\|. :conf[irm] qa[ll] Exit Vim. Bring up a prompt when some buffers have been changed. See \|:confirm\|. :qa[ll]! Exit Vim. Any changes to buffers are lost. Also see \|:cquit\|, it does the same but exits with a non-zero value. :quita :quitall :quita[ll][!] Same as ":qall". :wqa[ll] [++opt] :wqa :wqall :xa :xall :xa[ll] Write all changed buffers and exit Vim. If there are buffers without a file name, which are readonly or which cannot be written for another reason, Vim will not quit. :conf[irm] wqa[ll] [++opt] :conf[irm] xa[ll] Write all changed buffers and exit Vim. Bring up a prompt when some buffers are readonly or cannot be written for another reason. See \|:confirm\|. :wqa[ll]! [++opt] :xa[ll]! Write all changed buffers, even the ones that are readonly, and exit Vim. If there are buffers without a file name or which cannot be written for another reason, or there is a terminal with a running job, Vim will not quit. ============================================================================== 6. Dialogs edit-dialogs :confirm :conf :conf[irm] {command} Execute {command}, and use a dialog when an operation has to be confirmed. Can be used on the \|:q\|, \|:qa\| and \|:w\| commands (the latter to override a read-only setting), and any other command that can fail in such a way, such as \|:only\|, \|:buffer\|, \|:bdelete\|, etc. Examples: > :confirm w foo < Will ask for confirmation when "foo" already exists. > :confirm q < Will ask for confirmation when there are changes. > :confirm qa < If any modified, unsaved buffers exist, you will be prompted to save or abandon each one. There are also choices to "save all" or "abandon all". If you want to always use ":confirm", set the 'confirm' option. :browse :bro E338 E614 E615 E616 :bro[wse] {command} Open a file selection dialog for an argument to {command}. At present this works for \|:e\|, \|:w\|, \|:wall\|, \|:wq\|, \|:wqall\|, \|:x\|, \|:xall\|, \|:exit\|, \|:view\|, \|:sview\|, \|:r\|, \|:saveas\|, \|:sp\|, \|:mkexrc\|, \|:mkvimrc\|, \|:mksession\|, \|:mkview\|, \|:split\|, \|:vsplit\|, \|:tabe\|, \|:tabnew\|, \|:cfile\|, \|:cgetfile\|, \|:caddfile\|, \|:lfile\|, \|:lgetfile\|, \|:laddfile\|, \|:diffsplit\|, \|:diffpatch\|, \|:open\|, \|:pedit\|, \|:redir\|, \|:source\|, \|:update\|, \|:visual\|, \|:vsplit\|, and \|:qall\| if 'confirm' is set. {only in Win32, Athena, Motif, GTK and Mac GUI} When ":browse" is not possible you get an error message. If the \|+browse\| feature is missing or the {command} doesn't support browsing, the {command} is executed without a dialog. ":browse set" works like \|:options\|. See also \|:oldfiles\| for ":browse oldfiles". The syntax is best shown via some examples: > :browse e $vim/foo < Open the browser in the $vim/foo directory, and edit the file chosen. > :browse e < Open the browser in the directory specified with 'browsedir', and edit the file chosen. > :browse w < Open the browser in the directory of the current buffer, with the current buffer filename as default, and save the buffer under the filename chosen. > :browse w C:/bar < Open the browser in the C:/bar directory, with the current buffer filename as default, and save the buffer under the filename chosen. Also see the 'browsedir' option. For versions of Vim where browsing is not supported, the command is executed unmodified. browsefilter For MS Windows and GTK, you can modify the filters that are used in the browse dialog. By setting the g:browsefilter or b:browsefilter variables, you can change the filters globally or locally to the buffer. The variable is set to a string in the format "{filter label}\t{pattern};{pattern}\n" where {filter label} is the text that appears in the "Files of Type" comboBox, and {pattern} is the pattern which filters the filenames. Several patterns can be given, separated by ';'. For Motif the same format is used, but only the very first pattern is actually used (Motif only offers one pattern, but you can edit it). For example, to have only Vim files in the dialog, you could use the following command: > let g:browsefilter = "Vim Scripts\t.vim\nVim Startup Files\tvimrc\n" You can override the filter setting on a per-buffer basis by setting the b:browsefilter variable. You would most likely set b:browsefilter in a filetype plugin, so that the browse dialog would contain entries related to the type of file you are currently editing. Disadvantage: This makes it difficult to start editing a file of a different type. To overcome this, you may want to add "All Files\t.\n" as the final filter, so that the user can still access any desired file. To avoid setting browsefilter when Vim does not actually support it, you can use has("browsefilter"): > if has("browsefilter") let g:browsefilter = "whatever" endif ============================================================================== 7. The current directory current-directory You can use the \|:cd\|, \|:tcd\| and \|:lcd\| commands to change to another directory, so you will not have to type that directory name in front of the file names. It also makes a difference for executing external commands, e.g. ":!ls". Changing directory fails when the current buffer is modified, the '.' flag is present in 'cpoptions' and "!" is not used in the command. :cd E747 E472 :cd[!] On non-Unix systems: Print the current directory name. On Unix systems: Change the current directory to the home directory. Use \|:pwd\| to print the current directory on all systems. On Unix systems: clear any window-local directory. :cd[!] {path} Change the current directory to {path}. If {path} is relative, it is searched for in the directories listed in \|'cdpath'\|. Clear any window-local directory. Does not change the meaning of an already opened file, because its full path name is remembered. Files from the \|arglist\| may change though! On MS-Windows this also changes the active drive. To change to the directory of the current file: > :cd %:h < :cd- E186 :cd[!] - Change to the previous current directory (before the previous ":cd {path}" command). :chd :chdir :chd[ir][!] [path] Same as \|:cd\|. :tcd :tcd[!] {path} Like \|:cd\|, but only set the directory for the current tab. The current window will also use this directory. The current directory is not changed for windows in other tabs and for windows in the current tab that have their own window-local directory. :tch :tchdir :tch[dir][!] Same as \|:tcd\|. :tcd- :tcd[!] - Change to the previous current directory, before the last ":tcd {path}" command. :lc :lcd :lc[d][!] {path} Like \|:cd\|, but only set the current directory when the cursor is in the current window. The current directory for other windows is not changed, switching to another window will stop using {path}. :lch :lchdir :lch[dir][!] Same as \|:lcd\|. :lcd- :lcd[!] - Change to the previous current directory, before the last ":lcd {path}" command. :pw :pwd E187 :pw[d] Print the current directory name. Also see \|getcwd()\|. :pwd-verbose When 'verbose' is non-zero, \|:pwd\| will also display what scope the current directory was set. Example: > " Set by :cd :verbose pwd [global] /path/to/current " Set by :lcd :verbose pwd [window] /path/to/current " Set by :tcd :verbose pwd [tabpage] /path/to/current So long as no \|:lcd\| or \|:tcd\| command has been used, all windows share the same current directory. Using a command to jump to another window doesn't change anything for the current directory. When a \|:lcd\| command has been used for a window, the specified directory becomes the current directory for that window. Windows where the \|:lcd\| command has not been used stick to the global or tab-local current directory. When jumping to another window the current directory will become the last specified local current directory. If none was specified, the global or tab-local current directory is used. When a \|:tcd\| command has been used for a tab page, the specified directory becomes the current directory for the current tab page and the current window. The current directory of other tab pages is not affected. When jumping to another tab page, the current directory will become the last specified local directory for that tab page. If the current tab has no local current directory the global current directory is used. When a \|:cd\| command is used, the current window and tab page will lose the local current directory and will use the global current directory from now on. After using \|:cd\| the full path name will be used for reading and writing files. On some networked file systems this may cause problems. The result of using the full path name is that the file names currently in use will remain referring to the same file. Example: If you have a file a:test and a directory a:vim the commands ":e test" ":cd vim" ":w" will overwrite the file a:test and not write a:vim/test. But if you do ":w test" the file a:vim/test will be written, because you gave a new file name and did not refer to a filename before the ":cd". ============================================================================== 8. Editing binary files edit-binary Although Vim was made to edit text files, it is possible to edit binary files. The \|-b\| Vim argument (b for binary) makes Vim do file I/O in binary mode, and sets some options for editing binary files ('binary' on, 'textwidth' to 0, 'modeline' off, 'expandtab' off). Setting the 'binary' option has the same effect. Don't forget to do this before reading the file. There are a few things to remember when editing binary files: - When editing executable files the number of bytes must not change. Use only the "R" or "r" command to change text. Do not delete characters with "x" or by backspacing. - Set the 'textwidth' option to 0. Otherwise lines will unexpectedly be split in two. - When there are not many <EOL>s, the lines will become very long. If you want to edit a line that does not fit on the screen reset the 'wrap' option. Horizontal scrolling is used then. If a line becomes too long (more than about 32767 bytes on the Amiga, much more on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, see \|limits\|) you cannot edit that line. The line will be split when reading the file. It is also possible that you get an "out of memory" error when reading the file. - Make sure the 'binary' option is set BEFORE loading the file. Otherwise both <CR><NL> and <NL> are considered to end a line and when the file is written the <NL> will be replaced with <CR><NL>. - <Nul> characters are shown on the screen as ^@. You can enter them with "CTRL-V CTRL-@" or "CTRL-V 000" - To insert a <NL> character in the file split a line. When writing the buffer to a file a <NL> will be written for the <EOL>. - Vim normally appends an <EOL> at the end of the file if there is none. Setting the 'binary' option prevents this. If you want to add the final <EOL>, set the 'endofline' option. You can also read the value of this option to see if there was an <EOL> for the last line (you cannot see this in the text). ============================================================================== 9. Encryption encryption Vim is able to write files encrypted, and read them back. The encrypted text cannot be read without the right key. {only available when compiled with the \|+cryptv\| feature} E833 The text in the swap file and the undo file is also encrypted. E843 However, this is done block-by-block and may reduce the time needed to crack a password. You can disable the swap file, but then a crash will cause you to lose your work. The undo file can be disabled without too much disadvantage. > :set noundofile :noswapfile edit secrets Note: The text in memory is not encrypted. A system administrator may be able to see your text while you are editing it. When filtering text with ":!filter" or using ":w !command" the text is also not encrypted, this may reveal it to others. The 'viminfo' file is not encrypted. You could do this to edit very secret text: > :set noundofile viminfo= :noswapfile edit secrets.txt Keep in mind that without a swap file you risk losing your work in the event of a crash or a power failure. WARNING: If you make a typo when entering the key and then write the file and exit, the text will be lost! The normal way to work with encryption, is to use the ":X" command, which will ask you to enter a key. A following write command will use that key to encrypt the file. If you later edit the same file, Vim will ask you to enter a key. If you type the same key as that was used for writing, the text will be readable again. If you use a wrong key, it will be a mess. :X :X Prompt for an encryption key. The typing is done without showing the actual text, so that someone looking at the display won't see it. The typed key is stored in the 'key' option, which is used to encrypt the file when it is written. The file will remain unchanged until you write it. See also \|-x\|. The value of the 'key' options is used when text is written. When the option is not empty, the written file will be encrypted, using the value as the encryption key. A magic number is prepended, so that Vim can recognize that the file is encrypted. To disable the encryption, reset the 'key' option to an empty value: > :set key= You can use the 'cryptmethod' option to select the type of encryption, use one of these: > :setlocal cm=zip " weak method, backwards compatible :setlocal cm=blowfish " method with flaws :setlocal cm=blowfish2 " medium strong method Do this before writing the file. When reading an encrypted file it will be set automatically to the method used when that file was written. You can change 'cryptmethod' before writing that file to change the method. To set the default method, used for new files, use this in your \|vimrc\| file: > set cm=blowfish2 Using "blowfish2" is highly recommended. Only use another method if you must use an older Vim version that does not support it. The message given for reading and writing a file will show "[crypted]" when using zip, "[blowfish]" when using blowfish, etc. When writing an undo file, the same key and method will be used for the text in the undo file. \|persistent-undo\|. To test for blowfish support you can use these conditions: > has('crypt-blowfish') has('crypt-blowfish2') This works since Vim 7.4.1099 while blowfish support was added earlier. Thus the condition failing doesn't mean blowfish is not supported. You can test for blowfish with: > v:version >= 703 And for blowfish2 with: > v:version > 704 \|\| (v:version == 704 && has('patch401')) If you are sure Vim includes patch 7.4.237 a simpler check is: > has('patch-7.4.401') < E817 E818 E819 E820 When encryption does not work properly, you would be able to write your text to a file and never be able to read it back. Therefore a test is performed to check if the encryption works as expected. If you get one of these errors don't write the file encrypted! You need to rebuild the Vim binary to fix this. E831 This is an internal error, "cannot happen". If you can reproduce it, please report to the developers. When reading a file that has been encrypted and the 'key' option is not empty, it will be used for decryption. If the value is empty, you will be prompted to enter the key. If you don't enter a key, or you enter the wrong key, the file is edited without being decrypted. There is no warning about using the wrong key (this makes brute force methods to find the key more difficult). If want to start reading a file that uses a different key, set the 'key' option to an empty string, so that Vim will prompt for a new one. Don't use the ":set" command to enter the value, other people can read the command over your shoulder. Since the value of the 'key' option is supposed to be a secret, its value can never be viewed. You should not set this option in a vimrc file. An encrypted file can be recognized by the "file" command, if you add these lines to "/etc/magic", "/usr/share/misc/magic" or wherever your system has the "magic" file: > 0 string VimCrypt~ Vim encrypted file >9 string 01 - "zip" cryptmethod >9 string 02 - "blowfish" cryptmethod >9 string 03 - "blowfish2" cryptmethod Notes: - Encryption is not possible when doing conversion with 'charconvert'. - Text you copy or delete goes to the numbered registers. The registers can be saved in the .viminfo file, where they could be read. Change your 'viminfo' option to be safe. - Someone can type commands in Vim when you walk away for a moment, he should not be able to get the key. - If you make a typing mistake when entering the key, you might not be able to get your text back! - If you type the key with a ":set key=value" command, it can be kept in the history, showing the 'key' value in a viminfo file. - There is never 100% safety. The encryption in Vim has not been tested for robustness. - The algorithm used for 'cryptmethod' "zip" is breakable. A 4 character key in about one hour, a 6 character key in one day (on a Pentium 133 PC). This requires that you know some text that must appear in the file. An expert can break it for any key. When the text has been decrypted, this also means that the key can be revealed, and other files encrypted with the same key can be decrypted. - Pkzip uses the same encryption as 'cryptmethod' "zip", and US Govt has no objection to its export. Pkzip's public file APPNOTE.TXT describes this algorithm in detail. - The implementation of 'cryptmethod' "blowfish" has a flaw. It is possible to crack the first 64 bytes of a file and in some circumstances more of the file. Use of it is not recommended, but it's still the strongest method supported by Vim 7.3 and 7.4. The "zip" method is even weaker. - Vim originates from the Netherlands. That is where the sources come from. Thus the encryption code is not exported from the USA. ============================================================================== 10. Timestamps timestamp timestamps Vim remembers the modification timestamp, mode and size of a file when you begin editing it. This is used to avoid that you have two different versions of the same file (without you knowing this). After a shell command is run (\|:!cmd\| \|suspend\| \|:read!\| \|K\|) timestamps, file modes and file sizes are compared for all buffers in a window. Vim will run any associated \|FileChangedShell\| autocommands or display a warning for any files that have changed. In the GUI this happens when Vim regains input focus. E321 E462 If you want to automatically reload a file when it has been changed outside of Vim, set the 'autoread' option. This doesn't work at the moment you write the file though, only when the file wasn't changed inside of Vim. ignore-timestamp If you do not want to be asked or automatically reload the file, you can use this: > set buftype=nofile Or, when starting gvim from a shell: > gvim file.log -c "set buftype=nofile" Note that if a FileChangedShell autocommand is defined you will not get a warning message or prompt. The autocommand is expected to handle this. There is no warning for a directory (e.g., with \|netrw-browse\|). But you do get warned if you started editing a new file and it was created as a directory later. When Vim notices the timestamp of a file has changed, and the file is being edited in a buffer but has not changed, Vim checks if the contents of the file is equal. This is done by reading the file again (into a hidden buffer, which is immediately deleted again) and comparing the text. If the text is equal, you will get no warning. If you don't get warned often enough you can use the following command. :checkt :checktime :checkt[ime] Check if any buffers were changed outside of Vim. This checks and warns you if you would end up with two versions of a file. If this is called from an autocommand, a ":global" command or is not typed the actual check is postponed until a moment the side effects (reloading the file) would be harmless. Each loaded buffer is checked for its associated file being changed. If the file was changed Vim will take action. If there are no changes in the buffer and 'autoread' is set, the buffer is reloaded. Otherwise, you are offered the choice of reloading the file. If the file was deleted you get an error message. If the file previously didn't exist you get a warning if it exists now. Once a file has been checked the timestamp is reset, you will not be warned again. :[N]checkt[ime] {filename} :[N]checkt[ime] [N] Check the timestamp of a specific buffer. The buffer may be specified by name, number or with a pattern. E813 E814 Vim will reload the buffer if you chose to. If a window is visible that contains this buffer, the reloading will happen in the context of this window. Otherwise a special window is used, so that most autocommands will work. You can't close this window. A few other restrictions apply. Best is to make sure nothing happens outside of the current buffer. E.g., setting window-local options may end up in the wrong window. Splitting the window, doing something there and closing it should be OK (if there are no side effects from other autocommands). Closing unrelated windows and buffers will get you into trouble. Before writing a file the timestamp is checked. If it has changed, Vim will ask if you really want to overwrite the file: WARNING: The file has been changed since reading it!!! Do you really want to write to it (y/n)? If you hit 'y' Vim will continue writing the file. If you hit 'n' the write is aborted. If you used ":wq" or "ZZ" Vim will not exit, you will get another chance to write the file. The message would normally mean that somebody has written to the file after the edit session started. This could be another person, in which case you probably want to check if your changes to the file and the changes from the other person should be merged. Write the file under another name and check for differences (the "diff" program can be used for this). It is also possible that you modified the file yourself, from another edit session or with another command (e.g., a filter command). Then you will know which version of the file you want to keep. There is one situation where you get the message while there is nothing wrong: On a Win32 system on the day daylight saving time starts. There is something in the Win32 libraries that confuses Vim about the hour time difference. The problem goes away the next day. ============================================================================== 11. File Searching file-searching {not available when compiled without the \|+path_extra\| feature} The file searching is currently used for the 'path', 'cdpath' and 'tags' options, for \|finddir()\| and \|findfile()\|. Other commands use \|wildcards\| which is slightly different. There are three different types of searching: 1) Downward search: starstar Downward search uses the wildcards '', '' and possibly others supported by your operating system. '' and '' are handled inside Vim, so they work on all operating systems. Note that "" only acts as a special wildcard when it is at the start of a name. The usage of '' is quite simple: It matches 0 or more characters. In a search pattern this would be ".". Note that the "." is not used for file searching. '' is more sophisticated: - It ONLY matches directories. - It matches up to 30 directories deep by default, so you can use it to search an entire directory tree - The maximum number of levels matched can be given by appending a number to ''. Thus '/usr/2' can match: > /usr /usr/include /usr/include/sys /usr/include/g++ /usr/lib /usr/lib/X11 .... < It does NOT match '/usr/include/g++/std' as this would be three levels. The allowed number range is 0 ('0' is removed) to 100 If the given number is smaller than 0 it defaults to 30, if it's bigger than 100 then 100 is used. The system also has a limit on the path length, usually 256 or 1024 bytes. - '*' can only be at the end of the path or be followed by a path separator or by a number and a path separator. You can combine '' and '' in any order: > /usr//sys/* /usr/tory/sys/* /usr/*2/sys/ 2) Upward search: Here you can give a directory and then search the directory tree upward for a file. You could give stop-directories to limit the upward search. The stop-directories are appended to the path (for the 'path' option) or to the filename (for the 'tags' option) with a ';'. If you want several stop-directories separate them with ';'. If you want no stop-directory ("search upward till the root directory) just use ';'. > /usr/include/sys;/usr < will search in: > /usr/include/sys /usr/include /usr < If you use a relative path the upward search is started in Vim's current directory or in the directory of the current file (if the relative path starts with './' and 'd' is not included in 'cpoptions'). If Vim's current path is /u/user_x/work/release and you do > :set path=include;/u/user_x < and then search for a file with \|gf\| the file is searched in: > /u/user_x/work/release/include /u/user_x/work/include /u/user_x/include 3) Combined up/downward search: If Vim's current path is /u/user_x/work/release and you do > set path=;/u/user_x < and then search for a file with \|gf\| the file is searched in: > /u/user_x/work/release/ /u/user_x/work/ /u/user_x/ < BE CAREFUL! This might consume a lot of time, as the search of '/u/user_x/' includes '/u/user_x/work/' and '/u/user_x/work/release/'. So '/u/user_x/work/release/' is searched three times and '/u/user_x/work/' is searched twice. In the above example you might want to set path to: > :set path=,/u/user_x/ < This searches: /u/user_x/work/release/ ~ /u/user_x/ ~ This searches the same directories, but in a different order. Note that completion for ":find", ":sfind", and ":tabfind" commands do not currently work with 'path' items that contain a URL or use the double star with depth limiter (/usr/2) or upward search (;) notations. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	72.42 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Variables variables 1.1 Variable types ~ E712 E896 E897 E899 There are ten types of variables: Number Integer Number A 32 or 64 bit signed number. \|expr-number\| The number of bits is available in \|v:numbersize\|. Examples: -123 0x10 0177 0o177 0b1011 Float A floating point number. \|floating-point-format\| Float {only when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} Examples: 123.456 1.15e-6 -1.1e3 E928 String A NUL terminated string of 8-bit unsigned characters (bytes). \|expr-string\| Examples: "ab\txx\"--" 'x-z''a,c' List An ordered sequence of items, see \|List\| for details. Example: [1, 2, ['a', 'b']] Dictionary An associative, unordered array: Each entry has a key and a value. \|Dictionary\| Examples: {'blue': "#0000ff", 'red': "#ff0000"} #{blue: "#0000ff", red: "#ff0000"} Funcref A reference to a function \|Funcref\|. Example: function("strlen") It can be bound to a dictionary and arguments, it then works like a Partial. Example: function("Callback", [arg], myDict) Special \|v:false\|, \|v:true\|, \|v:none\| and \|v:null\|. Special Job Used for a job, see \|job_start()\|. Job Jobs Channel Used for a channel, see \|ch_open()\|. Channel Channels Blob Binary Large Object. Stores any sequence of bytes. See \|Blob\| for details Example: 0zFF00ED015DAF 0z is an empty Blob. The Number and String types are converted automatically, depending on how they are used. Conversion from a Number to a String is by making the ASCII representation of the Number. Examples: Number 123 --> String "123" ~ Number 0 --> String "0" ~ Number -1 --> String "-1" ~ octal Conversion from a String to a Number only happens in legacy Vim script, not in Vim9 script. It is done by converting the first digits to a number. Hexadecimal "0xf9", Octal "017" or "0o17", and Binary "0b10" numbers are recognized NOTE: when using \|scriptversion-4\| octal with a leading "0" is not recognized. The 0o notation requires patch 8.2.0886. If the String doesn't start with digits, the result is zero. Examples: String "456" --> Number 456 ~ String "6bar" --> Number 6 ~ String "foo" --> Number 0 ~ String "0xf1" --> Number 241 ~ String "0100" --> Number 64 ~ String "0o100" --> Number 64 ~ String "0b101" --> Number 5 ~ String "-8" --> Number -8 ~ String "+8" --> Number 0 ~ To force conversion from String to Number, add zero to it: > :echo "0100" + 0 < 64 ~ To avoid a leading zero to cause octal conversion, or for using a different base, use \|str2nr()\|. TRUE FALSE Boolean For boolean operators Numbers are used. Zero is FALSE, non-zero is TRUE. You can also use \|v:false\| and \|v:true\|. In Vim9 script \|false\| and \|true\|. When TRUE is returned from a function it is the Number one, FALSE is the number zero. Note that in the command: > :if "foo" :" NOT executed "foo" is converted to 0, which means FALSE. If the string starts with a non-zero number it means TRUE: > :if "8foo" :" executed To test for a non-empty string, use empty(): > :if !empty("foo") < falsy truthy An expression can be used as a condition, ignoring the type and only using whether the value is "sort of true" or "sort of false". Falsy is: the number zero empty string, blob, list or dictionary Other values are truthy. Examples: 0 falsy 1 truthy -1 truthy 0.0 falsy 0.1 truthy '' falsy 'x' truthy [] falsy [0] truthy {} falsy #{x: 1} truthy 0z falsy 0z00 truthy non-zero-arg Function arguments often behave slightly different from \|TRUE\|: If the argument is present and it evaluates to a non-zero Number, \|v:true\| or a non-empty String, then the value is considered to be TRUE. Note that " " and "0" are also non-empty strings, thus considered to be TRUE. A List, Dictionary or Float is not a Number or String, thus evaluate to FALSE. E745 E728 E703 E729 E730 E731 E908 E910 E913 E974 E975 E976 \|List\|, \|Dictionary\|, \|Funcref\|, \|Job\|, \|Channel\| and \|Blob\| types are not automatically converted. E805 E806 E808 When mixing Number and Float the Number is converted to Float. Otherwise there is no automatic conversion of Float. You can use str2float() for String to Float, printf() for Float to String and float2nr() for Float to Number. E891 E892 E893 E894 E907 E911 E914 When expecting a Float a Number can also be used, but nothing else. no-type-checking You will not get an error if you try to change the type of a variable. 1.2 Function references ~ Funcref E695 E718 A Funcref variable is obtained with the \|function()\| function, the \|funcref()\| function or created with the lambda expression \|expr-lambda\|. It can be used in an expression in the place of a function name, before the parenthesis around the arguments, to invoke the function it refers to. Example: > :let Fn = function("MyFunc") :echo Fn() < E704 E705 E707 A Funcref variable must start with a capital, "s:", "w:", "t:" or "b:". You can use "g:" but the following name must still start with a capital. You cannot have both a Funcref variable and a function with the same name. A special case is defining a function and directly assigning its Funcref to a Dictionary entry. Example: > :function dict.init() dict : let self.val = 0 :endfunction The key of the Dictionary can start with a lower case letter. The actual function name is not used here. Also see \|numbered-function\|. A Funcref can also be used with the \|:call\| command: > :call Fn() :call dict.init() The name of the referenced function can be obtained with \|string()\|. > :let func = string(Fn) You can use \|call()\| to invoke a Funcref and use a list variable for the arguments: > :let r = call(Fn, mylist) < Partial A Funcref optionally binds a Dictionary and/or arguments. This is also called a Partial. This is created by passing the Dictionary and/or arguments to function() or funcref(). When calling the function the Dictionary and/or arguments will be passed to the function. Example: > let Cb = function('Callback', ['foo'], myDict) call Cb('bar') This will invoke the function as if using: > call myDict.Callback('foo', 'bar') This is very useful when passing a function around, e.g. in the arguments of \|ch_open()\|. Note that binding a function to a Dictionary also happens when the function is a member of the Dictionary: > let myDict.myFunction = MyFunction call myDict.myFunction() Here MyFunction() will get myDict passed as "self". This happens when the "myFunction" member is accessed. When making assigning "myFunction" to otherDict and calling it, it will be bound to otherDict: > let otherDict.myFunction = myDict.myFunction call otherDict.myFunction() Now "self" will be "otherDict". But when the dictionary was bound explicitly this won't happen: > let myDict.myFunction = function(MyFunction, myDict) let otherDict.myFunction = myDict.myFunction call otherDict.myFunction() Here "self" will be "myDict", because it was bound explicitly. 1.3 Lists ~ list List Lists E686 A List is an ordered sequence of items. An item can be of any type. Items can be accessed by their index number. Items can be added and removed at any position in the sequence. List creation ~ E696 E697 A List is created with a comma separated list of items in square brackets. Examples: > :let mylist = [1, two, 3, "four"] :let emptylist = [] An item can be any expression. Using a List for an item creates a List of Lists: > :let nestlist = [[11, 12], [21, 22], [31, 32]] An extra comma after the last item is ignored. List index ~ list-index E684 An item in the List can be accessed by putting the index in square brackets after the List. Indexes are zero-based, thus the first item has index zero. > :let item = mylist[0] " get the first item: 1 :let item = mylist[2] " get the third item: 3 When the resulting item is a list this can be repeated: > :let item = nestlist[0][1] " get the first list, second item: 12 < A negative index is counted from the end. Index -1 refers to the last item in the List, -2 to the last but one item, etc. > :let last = mylist[-1] " get the last item: "four" To avoid an error for an invalid index use the \|get()\| function. When an item is not available it returns zero or the default value you specify: > :echo get(mylist, idx) :echo get(mylist, idx, "NONE") List concatenation ~ list-concatenation Two lists can be concatenated with the "+" operator: > :let longlist = mylist + [5, 6] :let mylist += [7, 8] To prepend or append an item, turn the item into a list by putting [] around it. To change a list in-place, refer to \|list-modification\| below. Sublist ~ sublist A part of the List can be obtained by specifying the first and last index, separated by a colon in square brackets: > :let shortlist = mylist[2:-1] " get List [3, "four"] Omitting the first index is similar to zero. Omitting the last index is similar to -1. > :let endlist = mylist[2:] " from item 2 to the end: [3, "four"] :let shortlist = mylist[2:2] " List with one item: [3] :let otherlist = mylist[:] " make a copy of the List Notice that the last index is inclusive. If you prefer using an exclusive index use the \|slice()\| method. If the first index is beyond the last item of the List or the second item is before the first item, the result is an empty list. There is no error message. If the second index is equal to or greater than the length of the list the length minus one is used: > :let mylist = [0, 1, 2, 3] :echo mylist[2:8] " result: [2, 3] NOTE: mylist[s:e] means using the variable "s:e" as index. Watch out for using a single letter variable before the ":". Insert a space when needed: mylist[s : e]. List identity ~ list-identity When variable "aa" is a list and you assign it to another variable "bb", both variables refer to the same list. Thus changing the list "aa" will also change "bb": > :let aa = [1, 2, 3] :let bb = aa :call add(aa, 4) :echo bb < [1, 2, 3, 4] Making a copy of a list is done with the \|copy()\| function. Using [:] also works, as explained above. This creates a shallow copy of the list: Changing a list item in the list will also change the item in the copied list: > :let aa = [[1, 'a'], 2, 3] :let bb = copy(aa) :call add(aa, 4) :let aa[0][1] = 'aaa' :echo aa < [[1, aaa], 2, 3, 4] > :echo bb < [[1, aaa], 2, 3] To make a completely independent list use \|deepcopy()\|. This also makes a copy of the values in the list, recursively. Up to a hundred levels deep. The operator "is" can be used to check if two variables refer to the same List. "isnot" does the opposite. In contrast "==" compares if two lists have the same value. > :let alist = [1, 2, 3] :let blist = [1, 2, 3] :echo alist is blist < 0 > :echo alist == blist < 1 Note about comparing lists: Two lists are considered equal if they have the same length and all items compare equal, as with using "==". There is one exception: When comparing a number with a string they are considered different. There is no automatic type conversion, as with using "==" on variables. Example: > echo 4 == "4" < 1 > echo [4] == ["4"] < 0 Thus comparing Lists is more strict than comparing numbers and strings. You can compare simple values this way too by putting them in a list: > :let a = 5 :let b = "5" :echo a == b < 1 > :echo [a] == [b] < 0 List unpack ~ To unpack the items in a list to individual variables, put the variables in square brackets, like list items: > :let [var1, var2] = mylist When the number of variables does not match the number of items in the list this produces an error. To handle any extra items from the list append ";" and a variable name: > :let [var1, var2; rest] = mylist This works like: > :let var1 = mylist[0] :let var2 = mylist[1] :let rest = mylist[2:] Except that there is no error if there are only two items. "rest" will be an empty list then. List modification ~ list-modification To change a specific item of a list use \|:let\| this way: > :let list[4] = "four" :let listlist[0][3] = item To change part of a list you can specify the first and last item to be modified. The value must at least have the number of items in the range: > :let list[3:5] = [3, 4, 5] Adding and removing items from a list is done with functions. Here are a few examples: > :call insert(list, 'a') " prepend item 'a' :call insert(list, 'a', 3) " insert item 'a' before list[3] :call add(list, "new") " append String item :call add(list, [1, 2]) " append a List as one new item :call extend(list, [1, 2]) " extend the list with two more items :let i = remove(list, 3) " remove item 3 :unlet list[3] " idem :let l = remove(list, 3, -1) " remove items 3 to last item :unlet list[3 : ] " idem :call filter(list, 'v:val !~ "x"') " remove items with an 'x' Changing the order of items in a list: > :call sort(list) " sort a list alphabetically :call reverse(list) " reverse the order of items :call uniq(sort(list)) " sort and remove duplicates For loop ~ The \|:for\| loop executes commands for each item in a list. A variable is set to each item in the list in sequence. Example: > :for item in mylist : call Doit(item) :endfor This works like: > :let index = 0 :while index < len(mylist) : let item = mylist[index] : :call Doit(item) : let index = index + 1 :endwhile If all you want to do is modify each item in the list then the \|map()\| function will be a simpler method than a for loop. Just like the \|:let\| command, \|:for\| also accepts a list of variables. This requires the argument to be a list of lists. > :for [lnum, col] in [[1, 3], [2, 8], [3, 0]] : call Doit(lnum, col) :endfor This works like a \|:let\| command is done for each list item. Again, the types must remain the same to avoid an error. It is also possible to put remaining items in a List variable: > :for [i, j; rest] in listlist : call Doit(i, j) : if !empty(rest) : echo "remainder: " . string(rest) : endif :endfor List functions ~ E714 Functions that are useful with a List: > :let r = call(funcname, list) " call a function with an argument list :if empty(list) " check if list is empty :let l = len(list) " number of items in list :let big = max(list) " maximum value in list :let small = min(list) " minimum value in list :let xs = count(list, 'x') " count nr of times 'x' appears in list :let i = index(list, 'x') " index of first 'x' in list :let lines = getline(1, 10) " get ten text lines from buffer :call append('$', lines) " append text lines in buffer :let list = split("a b c") " create list from items in a string :let string = join(list, ', ') " create string from list items :let s = string(list) " String representation of list :call map(list, '">> " . v:val') " prepend ">> " to each item Don't forget that a combination of features can make things simple. For example, to add up all the numbers in a list: > :exe 'let sum = ' . join(nrlist, '+') 1.4 Dictionaries ~ dict Dict Dictionaries Dictionary A Dictionary is an associative array: Each entry has a key and a value. The entry can be located with the key. The entries are stored without a specific ordering. Dictionary creation ~ E720 E721 E722 E723 A Dictionary is created with a comma separated list of entries in curly braces. Each entry has a key and a value, separated by a colon. Each key can only appear once. Examples: > :let mydict = {1: 'one', 2: 'two', 3: 'three'} :let emptydict = {} < E713 E716 E717 A key is always a String. You can use a Number, it will be converted to a String automatically. Thus the String '4' and the number 4 will find the same entry. Note that the String '04' and the Number 04 are different, since the Number will be converted to the String '4'. The empty string can also be used as a key. literal-Dict #{} To avoid having to put quotes around every key the #{} form can be used. This does require the key to consist only of ASCII letters, digits, '-' and '_'. Example: > :let mydict = #{zero: 0, one_key: 1, two-key: 2, 333: 3} Note that 333 here is the string "333". Empty keys are not possible with #{}. A value can be any expression. Using a Dictionary for a value creates a nested Dictionary: > :let nestdict = {1: {11: 'a', 12: 'b'}, 2: {21: 'c'}} An extra comma after the last entry is ignored. Accessing entries ~ The normal way to access an entry is by putting the key in square brackets: > :let val = mydict["one"] :let mydict["four"] = 4 You can add new entries to an existing Dictionary this way, unlike Lists. For keys that consist entirely of letters, digits and underscore the following form can be used \|expr-entry\|: > :let val = mydict.one :let mydict.four = 4 Since an entry can be any type, also a List and a Dictionary, the indexing and key lookup can be repeated: > :echo dict.key[idx].key Dictionary to List conversion ~ You may want to loop over the entries in a dictionary. For this you need to turn the Dictionary into a List and pass it to \|:for\|. Most often you want to loop over the keys, using the \|keys()\| function: > :for key in keys(mydict) : echo key . ': ' . mydict[key] :endfor The List of keys is unsorted. You may want to sort them first: > :for key in sort(keys(mydict)) To loop over the values use the \|values()\| function: > :for v in values(mydict) : echo "value: " . v :endfor If you want both the key and the value use the \|items()\| function. It returns a List in which each item is a List with two items, the key and the value: > :for [key, value] in items(mydict) : echo key . ': ' . value :endfor Dictionary identity ~ dict-identity Just like Lists you need to use \|copy()\| and \|deepcopy()\| to make a copy of a Dictionary. Otherwise, assignment results in referring to the same Dictionary: > :let onedict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2} :let adict = onedict :let adict['a'] = 11 :echo onedict['a'] 11 Two Dictionaries compare equal if all the key-value pairs compare equal. For more info see \|list-identity\|. Dictionary modification ~ dict-modification To change an already existing entry of a Dictionary, or to add a new entry, use \|:let\| this way: > :let dict[4] = "four" :let dict['one'] = item Removing an entry from a Dictionary is done with \|remove()\| or \|:unlet\|. Three ways to remove the entry with key "aaa" from dict: > :let i = remove(dict, 'aaa') :unlet dict.aaa :unlet dict['aaa'] Merging a Dictionary with another is done with \|extend()\|: > :call extend(adict, bdict) This extends adict with all entries from bdict. Duplicate keys cause entries in adict to be overwritten. An optional third argument can change this. Note that the order of entries in a Dictionary is irrelevant, thus don't expect ":echo adict" to show the items from bdict after the older entries in adict. Weeding out entries from a Dictionary can be done with \|filter()\|: > :call filter(dict, 'v:val =~ "x"') This removes all entries from "dict" with a value not matching 'x'. This can also be used to remove all entries: > call filter(dict, 0) Dictionary function ~ Dictionary-function self E725 E862 When a function is defined with the "dict" attribute it can be used in a special way with a dictionary. Example: > :function Mylen() dict : return len(self.data) :endfunction :let mydict = {'data': [0, 1, 2, 3], 'len': function("Mylen")} :echo mydict.len() This is like a method in object oriented programming. The entry in the Dictionary is a \|Funcref\|. The local variable "self" refers to the dictionary the function was invoked from. It is also possible to add a function without the "dict" attribute as a Funcref to a Dictionary, but the "self" variable is not available then. numbered-function anonymous-function To avoid the extra name for the function it can be defined and directly assigned to a Dictionary in this way: > :let mydict = {'data': [0, 1, 2, 3]} :function mydict.len() : return len(self.data) :endfunction :echo mydict.len() The function will then get a number and the value of dict.len is a \|Funcref\| that references this function. The function can only be used through a \|Funcref\|. It will automatically be deleted when there is no \|Funcref\| remaining that refers to it. It is not necessary to use the "dict" attribute for a numbered function. If you get an error for a numbered function, you can find out what it is with a trick. Assuming the function is 42, the command is: > :function {42} Functions for Dictionaries ~ E715 Functions that can be used with a Dictionary: > :if has_key(dict, 'foo') " TRUE if dict has entry with key "foo" :if empty(dict) " TRUE if dict is empty :let l = len(dict) " number of items in dict :let big = max(dict) " maximum value in dict :let small = min(dict) " minimum value in dict :let xs = count(dict, 'x') " count nr of times 'x' appears in dict :let s = string(dict) " String representation of dict :call map(dict, '">> " . v:val') " prepend ">> " to each item 1.5 Blobs ~ blob Blob Blobs E978 A Blob is a binary object. It can be used to read an image from a file and send it over a channel, for example. A Blob mostly behaves like a \|List\| of numbers, where each number has the value of an 8-bit byte, from 0 to 255. Blob creation ~ A Blob can be created with a \|blob-literal\|: > :let b = 0zFF00ED015DAF Dots can be inserted between bytes (pair of hex characters) for readability, they don't change the value: > :let b = 0zFF00.ED01.5DAF A blob can be read from a file with \|readfile()\| passing the {type} argument set to "B", for example: > :let b = readfile('image.png', 'B') A blob can be read from a channel with the \|ch_readblob()\| function. Blob index ~ blob-index E979 A byte in the Blob can be accessed by putting the index in square brackets after the Blob. Indexes are zero-based, thus the first byte has index zero. > :let myblob = 0z00112233 :let byte = myblob[0] " get the first byte: 0x00 :let byte = myblob[2] " get the third byte: 0x22 A negative index is counted from the end. Index -1 refers to the last byte in the Blob, -2 to the last but one byte, etc. > :let last = myblob[-1] " get the last byte: 0x33 To avoid an error for an invalid index use the \|get()\| function. When an item is not available it returns -1 or the default value you specify: > :echo get(myblob, idx) :echo get(myblob, idx, 999) Blob iteration ~ The \|:for\| loop executes commands for each byte of a Blob. The loop variable is set to each byte in the Blob. Example: > :for byte in 0z112233 : call Doit(byte) :endfor This calls Doit() with 0x11, 0x22 and 0x33. Blob concatenation ~ Two blobs can be concatenated with the "+" operator: > :let longblob = myblob + 0z4455 :let myblob += 0z6677 To change a blob in-place see \|blob-modification\| below. Part of a blob ~ A part of the Blob can be obtained by specifying the first and last index, separated by a colon in square brackets: > :let myblob = 0z00112233 :let shortblob = myblob[1:2] " get 0z1122 :let shortblob = myblob[2:-1] " get 0z2233 Omitting the first index is similar to zero. Omitting the last index is similar to -1. > :let endblob = myblob[2:] " from item 2 to the end: 0z2233 :let shortblob = myblob[2:2] " Blob with one byte: 0z22 :let otherblob = myblob[:] " make a copy of the Blob If the first index is beyond the last byte of the Blob or the second index is before the first index, the result is an empty Blob. There is no error message. If the second index is equal to or greater than the length of the list the length minus one is used: > :echo myblob[2:8] " result: 0z2233 Blob modification ~ blob-modification To change a specific byte of a blob use \|:let\| this way: > :let blob[4] = 0x44 When the index is just one beyond the end of the Blob, it is appended. Any higher index is an error. To change a sequence of bytes the [:] notation can be used: > let blob[1:3] = 0z445566 The length of the replaced bytes must be exactly the same as the value provided. E972 To change part of a blob you can specify the first and last byte to be modified. The value must have the same number of bytes in the range: > :let blob[3:5] = 0z334455 You can also use the functions \|add()\|, \|remove()\| and \|insert()\|. Blob identity ~ Blobs can be compared for equality: > if blob == 0z001122 And for equal identity: > if blob is otherblob < blob-identity E977 When variable "aa" is a Blob and you assign it to another variable "bb", both variables refer to the same Blob. Then the "is" operator returns true. When making a copy using [:] or \|copy()\| the values are the same, but the identity is different: > :let blob = 0z112233 :let blob2 = blob :echo blob == blob2 < 1 > :echo blob is blob2 < 1 > :let blob3 = blob[:] :echo blob == blob3 < 1 > :echo blob is blob3 < 0 Making a copy of a Blob is done with the \|copy()\| function. Using [:] also works, as explained above. 1.6 More about variables ~ more-variables If you need to know the type of a variable or expression, use the \|type()\| function. When the '!' flag is included in the 'viminfo' option, global variables that start with an uppercase letter, and don't contain a lowercase letter, are stored in the viminfo file \|viminfo-file\|. When the 'sessionoptions' option contains "global", global variables that start with an uppercase letter and contain at least one lowercase letter are stored in the session file \|session-file\|. variable name can be stored where ~ my_var_6 not My_Var_6 session file MY_VAR_6 viminfo file It's possible to form a variable name with curly braces, see \|curly-braces-names\|. ============================================================================== 2. Expression syntax expression-syntax Expression syntax summary, from least to most significant: \|expr1\| expr2 expr2 ? expr1 : expr1 if-then-else \|expr2\| expr3 expr3 \|\| expr3 ... logical OR \|expr3\| expr4 expr4 && expr4 ... logical AND \|expr4\| expr5 expr5 == expr5 equal expr5 != expr5 not equal expr5 > expr5 greater than expr5 >= expr5 greater than or equal expr5 < expr5 smaller than expr5 <= expr5 smaller than or equal expr5 =~ expr5 regexp matches expr5 !~ expr5 regexp doesn't match expr5 ==? expr5 equal, ignoring case expr5 ==# expr5 equal, match case etc. As above, append ? for ignoring case, # for matching case expr5 is expr5 same \|List\|, \|Dictionary\| or \|Blob\| instance expr5 isnot expr5 different \|List\|, \|Dictionary\| or \|Blob\| instance \|expr5\| expr6 expr6 + expr6 ... number addition, list or blob concatenation expr6 - expr6 ... number subtraction expr6 . expr6 ... string concatenation expr6 .. expr6 ... string concatenation \|expr6\| expr7 expr7 * expr7 ... number multiplication expr7 / expr7 ... number division expr7 % expr7 ... number modulo \|expr7\| expr8 ! expr7 logical NOT - expr7 unary minus + expr7 unary plus \|expr8\| expr9 expr8[expr1] byte of a String or item of a \|List\| expr8[expr1 : expr1] substring of a String or sublist of a \|List\| expr8.name entry in a \|Dictionary\| expr8(expr1, ...) function call with \|Funcref\| variable expr8->name(expr1, ...) \|method\| call \|expr9\| number number constant "string" string constant, backslash is special 'string' string constant, ' is doubled [expr1, ...] \|List\| {expr1: expr1, ...} \|Dictionary\| #{key: expr1, ...} \|Dictionary\| &option option value (expr1) nested expression variable internal variable va{ria}ble internal variable with curly braces $VAR environment variable @r contents of register 'r' function(expr1, ...) function call func{ti}on(expr1, ...) function call with curly braces {args -> expr1} lambda expression "..." indicates that the operations in this level can be concatenated. Example: > &nu \|\| &list && &shell == "csh" All expressions within one level are parsed from left to right. expr1 expr1 trinary falsy-operator ?? E109 ----- The trinary operator: expr2 ? expr1 : expr1 The falsy operator: expr2 ?? expr1 Trinary operator ~ The expression before the '?' is evaluated to a number. If it evaluates to \|TRUE\|, the result is the value of the expression between the '?' and ':', otherwise the result is the value of the expression after the ':'. Example: > :echo lnum == 1 ? "top" : lnum Since the first expression is an "expr2", it cannot contain another ?:. The other two expressions can, thus allow for recursive use of ?:. Example: > :echo lnum == 1 ? "top" : lnum == 1000 ? "last" : lnum To keep this readable, using \|line-continuation\| is suggested: > :echo lnum == 1 :\ ? "top" :\ : lnum == 1000 :\ ? "last" :\ : lnum You should always put a space before the ':', otherwise it can be mistaken for use in a variable such as "a:1". Falsy operator ~ This is also known as the "null coalescing operator", but that's too complicated, thus we just call it the falsy operator. The expression before the '??' is evaluated. If it evaluates to \|truthy\|, this is used as the result. Otherwise the expression after the '??' is evaluated and used as the result. This is most useful to have a default value for an expression that may result in zero or empty: > echo theList ?? 'list is empty' echo GetName() ?? 'unknown' These are similar, but not equal: > expr2 ?? expr1 expr2 ? expr2 : expr1 In the second line "expr2" is evaluated twice. expr2 and expr3 expr2 expr3 --------------- expr3 \|\| expr3 .. logical OR expr-barbar expr4 && expr4 .. logical AND expr-&& The "\|\|" and "&&" operators take one argument on each side. The arguments are (converted to) Numbers. The result is: input output ~ n1 n2 n1 \|\| n2 n1 && n2 ~ \|FALSE\| \|FALSE\| \|FALSE\| \|FALSE\| \|FALSE\| \|TRUE\| \|TRUE\| \|FALSE\| \|TRUE\| \|FALSE\| \|TRUE\| \|FALSE\| \|TRUE\| \|TRUE\| \|TRUE\| \|TRUE\| The operators can be concatenated, for example: > &nu \|\| &list && &shell == "csh" Note that "&&" takes precedence over "\|\|", so this has the meaning of: > &nu \|\| (&list && &shell == "csh") Once the result is known, the expression "short-circuits", that is, further arguments are not evaluated. This is like what happens in C. For example: > let a = 1 echo a \|\| b This is valid even if there is no variable called "b" because "a" is \|TRUE\|, so the result must be \|TRUE\|. Similarly below: > echo exists("b") && b == "yes" This is valid whether "b" has been defined or not. The second clause will only be evaluated if "b" has been defined. expr4 expr4 ----- expr5 {cmp} expr5 Compare two expr5 expressions, resulting in a 0 if it evaluates to false, or 1 if it evaluates to true. expr-== expr-!= expr-> expr->= expr-< expr-<= expr-=~ expr-!~ expr-==# expr-!=# expr-># expr->=# expr-<# expr-<=# expr-=~# expr-!~# expr-==? expr-!=? expr->? expr->=? expr-<? expr-<=? expr-=~? expr-!~? expr-is expr-isnot expr-is# expr-isnot# expr-is? expr-isnot? use 'ignorecase' match case ignore case ~ equal == ==# ==? not equal != !=# !=? greater than > ># >? greater than or equal >= >=# >=? smaller than < <# <? smaller than or equal <= <=# <=? regexp matches =~ =~# =~? regexp doesn't match !~ !~# !~? same instance is is# is? different instance isnot isnot# isnot? Examples: "abc" ==# "Abc" evaluates to 0 "abc" ==? "Abc" evaluates to 1 "abc" == "Abc" evaluates to 1 if 'ignorecase' is set, 0 otherwise E691 E692 A \|List\| can only be compared with a \|List\| and only "equal", "not equal", "is" and "isnot" can be used. This compares the values of the list, recursively. Ignoring case means case is ignored when comparing item values. E735 E736 A \|Dictionary\| can only be compared with a \|Dictionary\| and only "equal", "not equal", "is" and "isnot" can be used. This compares the key/values of the \|Dictionary\| recursively. Ignoring case means case is ignored when comparing item values. E694 A \|Funcref\| can only be compared with a \|Funcref\| and only "equal", "not equal", "is" and "isnot" can be used. Case is never ignored. Whether arguments or a Dictionary are bound (with a partial) matters. The Dictionaries must also be equal (or the same, in case of "is") and the arguments must be equal (or the same). To compare Funcrefs to see if they refer to the same function, ignoring bound Dictionary and arguments, use \|get()\| to get the function name: > if get(Part1, 'name') == get(Part2, 'name') " Part1 and Part2 refer to the same function Using "is" or "isnot" with a \|List\|, \|Dictionary\| or \|Blob\| checks whether the expressions are referring to the same \|List\|, \|Dictionary\| or \|Blob\| instance. A copy of a \|List\| is different from the original \|List\|. When using "is" without a \|List\|, \|Dictionary\| or \|Blob\|, it is equivalent to using "equal", using "isnot" equivalent to using "not equal". Except that a different type means the values are different: > echo 4 == '4' 1 echo 4 is '4' 0 echo 0 is [] 0 "is#"/"isnot#" and "is?"/"isnot?" can be used to match and ignore case. When comparing a String with a Number, the String is converted to a Number, and the comparison is done on Numbers. This means that: > echo 0 == 'x' 1 because 'x' converted to a Number is zero. However: > echo [0] == ['x'] 0 Inside a List or Dictionary this conversion is not used. When comparing two Strings, this is done with strcmp() or stricmp(). This results in the mathematical difference (comparing byte values), not necessarily the alphabetical difference in the local language. When using the operators with a trailing '#', or the short version and 'ignorecase' is off, the comparing is done with strcmp(): case matters. When using the operators with a trailing '?', or the short version and 'ignorecase' is set, the comparing is done with stricmp(): case is ignored. 'smartcase' is not used. The "=~" and "!~" operators match the lefthand argument with the righthand argument, which is used as a pattern. See \|pattern\| for what a pattern is. This matching is always done like 'magic' was set and 'cpoptions' is empty, no matter what the actual value of 'magic' or 'cpoptions' is. This makes scripts portable. To avoid backslashes in the regexp pattern to be doubled, use a single-quote string, see \|literal-string\|. Since a string is considered to be a single line, a multi-line pattern (containing \n, backslash-n) will not match. However, a literal NL character can be matched like an ordinary character. Examples: "foo\nbar" =~ "\n" evaluates to 1 "foo\nbar" =~ "\\n" evaluates to 0 expr5 and expr6 expr5 expr6 --------------- expr6 + expr6 Number addition, \|List\| or \|Blob\| concatenation expr-+ expr6 - expr6 Number subtraction expr-- expr6 . expr6 String concatenation expr-. expr6 .. expr6 String concatenation expr-.. For \|Lists\| only "+" is possible and then both expr6 must be a list. The result is a new list with the two lists Concatenated. For String concatenation ".." is preferred, since "." is ambiguous, it is also used for \|Dict\| member access and floating point numbers. When \|vimscript-version\| is 2 or higher, using "." is not allowed. expr7 * expr7 Number multiplication expr-star expr7 / expr7 Number division expr-/ expr7 % expr7 Number modulo expr-% For all, except "." and "..", Strings are converted to Numbers. For bitwise operators see \|and()\|, \|or()\| and \|xor()\|. Note the difference between "+" and ".": "123" + "456" = 579 "123" . "456" = "123456" Since '.' has the same precedence as '+' and '-', you need to read: > 1 . 90 + 90.0 As: > (1 . 90) + 90.0 That works, since the String "190" is automatically converted to the Number 190, which can be added to the Float 90.0. However: > 1 . 90 * 90.0 Should be read as: > 1 . (90 * 90.0) Since '.' has lower precedence than ''. This does NOT work, since this attempts to concatenate a Float and a String. When dividing a Number by zero the result depends on the value: 0 / 0 = -0x80000000 (like NaN for Float) >0 / 0 = 0x7fffffff (like positive infinity) <0 / 0 = -0x7fffffff (like negative infinity) (before Vim 7.2 it was always 0x7fffffff) When 64-bit Number support is enabled: 0 / 0 = -0x8000000000000000 (like NaN for Float) >0 / 0 = 0x7fffffffffffffff (like positive infinity) <0 / 0 = -0x7fffffffffffffff (like negative infinity) When the righthand side of '%' is zero, the result is 0. None of these work for \|Funcref\|s. . and % do not work for Float. E804* expr7 expr7 ----- ! expr7 logical NOT expr-! - expr7 unary minus expr-unary-- + expr7 unary plus expr-unary-+ For '!' \|TRUE\| becomes \|FALSE\|, \|FALSE\| becomes \|TRUE\| (one). For '-' the sign of the number is changed. For '+' the number is unchanged. Note: "++" has no effect. A String will be converted to a Number first. These three can be repeated and mixed. Examples: !-1 == 0 !!8 == 1 --9 == 9 expr8 expr8 ----- This expression is either \|expr9\| or a sequence of the alternatives below, in any order. E.g., these are all possible: expr8[expr1].name expr8.name[expr1] expr8(expr1, ...)[expr1].name expr8->(expr1, ...)[expr1] Evaluation is always from left to right. expr8[expr1] item of String or \|List\| expr-[] E111 E909 subscript In legacy Vim script: If expr8 is a Number or String this results in a String that contains the expr1'th single byte from expr8. expr8 is used as a String (a number is automatically converted to a String), expr1 as a Number. This doesn't recognize multibyte encodings, see `byteidx()` for an alternative, or use `split()` to turn the string into a list of characters. Example, to get the byte under the cursor: > :let c = getline(".")[col(".") - 1] In Vim9 script: If expr8 is a String this results in a String that contains the expr1'th single character (including any composing characters) from expr8. To use byte indexes use \|strpart()\|. Index zero gives the first byte or character. Careful: text column numbers start with one! If the length of the String is less than the index, the result is an empty String. A negative index always results in an empty string (reason: backward compatibility). Use [-1:] to get the last byte or character. In Vim9 script a negative index is used like with a list: count from the end. If expr8 is a \|List\| then it results the item at index expr1. See \|list-index\| for possible index values. If the index is out of range this results in an error. Example: > :let item = mylist[-1] " get last item Generally, if a \|List\| index is equal to or higher than the length of the \|List\|, or more negative than the length of the \|List\|, this results in an error. expr8[expr1a : expr1b] substring or sublist expr-[:] If expr8 is a String this results in the substring with the bytes or characters from expr1a to and including expr1b. expr8 is used as a String, expr1a and expr1b are used as a Number. In legacy Vim script the indexes are byte indexes. This doesn't recognize multibyte encodings, see \|byteidx()\| for computing the indexes. If expr8 is a Number it is first converted to a String. In Vim9 script the indexes are character indexes and include composing characters. To use byte indexes use \|strpart()\|. To use character indexes without including composing characters use \|strcharpart()\|. The item at index expr1b is included, it is inclusive. For an exclusive index use the \|slice()\| function. If expr1a is omitted zero is used. If expr1b is omitted the length of the string minus one is used. A negative number can be used to measure from the end of the string. -1 is the last character, -2 the last but one, etc. If an index goes out of range for the string characters are omitted. If expr1b is smaller than expr1a the result is an empty string. Examples: > :let c = name[-1:] " last byte of a string :let c = name[0:-1] " the whole string :let c = name[-2:-2] " last but one byte of a string :let s = line(".")[4:] " from the fifth byte to the end :let s = s[:-3] " remove last two bytes < slice If expr8 is a \|List\| this results in a new \|List\| with the items indicated by the indexes expr1a and expr1b. This works like with a String, as explained just above. Also see \|sublist\| below. Examples: > :let l = mylist[:3] " first four items :let l = mylist[4:4] " List with one item :let l = mylist[:] " shallow copy of a List If expr8 is a \|Blob\| this results in a new \|Blob\| with the bytes in the indexes expr1a and expr1b, inclusive. Examples: > :let b = 0zDEADBEEF :let bs = b[1:2] " 0zADBE :let bs = b[:] " copy of 0zDEADBEEF Using expr8[expr1] or expr8[expr1a : expr1b] on a \|Funcref\| results in an error. Watch out for confusion between a namespace and a variable followed by a colon for a sublist: > mylist[n:] " uses variable n mylist[s:] " uses namespace s:, error! expr8.name entry in a \|Dictionary\| expr-entry If expr8 is a \|Dictionary\| and it is followed by a dot, then the following name will be used as a key in the \|Dictionary\|. This is just like: expr8[name]. The name must consist of alphanumeric characters, just like a variable name, but it may start with a number. Curly braces cannot be used. There must not be white space before or after the dot. Examples: > :let dict = {"one": 1, 2: "two"} :echo dict.one " shows "1" :echo dict.2 " shows "two" :echo dict .2 " error because of space before the dot Note that the dot is also used for String concatenation. To avoid confusion always put spaces around the dot for String concatenation. expr8(expr1, ...) \|Funcref\| function call When expr8 is a \|Funcref\| type variable, invoke the function it refers to. expr8->name([args]) method call method -> expr8->{lambda}([args]) E276 For methods that are also available as global functions this is the same as: > name(expr8 [, args]) There can also be methods specifically for the type of "expr8". This allows for chaining, passing the value that one method returns to the next method: > mylist->filter(filterexpr)->map(mapexpr)->sort()->join() < Example of using a lambda: > GetPercentage()->{x -> x * 100}()->printf('%d%%') < When using -> the \|expr7\| operators will be applied first, thus: > -1.234->string() Is equivalent to: > (-1.234)->string() And NOT: > -(1.234->string()) < E274 "->name(" must not contain white space. There can be white space before the "->" and after the "(", thus you can split the lines like this: > mylist \ ->filter(filterexpr) \ ->map(mapexpr) \ ->sort() \ ->join() When using the lambda form there must be no white space between the } and the (. expr9 number ------ number number constant expr-number 0x hex-number 0o octal-number binary-number Decimal, Hexadecimal (starting with 0x or 0X), Binary (starting with 0b or 0B) and Octal (starting with 0, 0o or 0O). floating-point-format Floating point numbers can be written in two forms: [-+]{N}.{M} [-+]{N}.{M}[eE][-+]{exp} {N} and {M} are numbers. Both {N} and {M} must be present and can only contain digits. [-+] means there is an optional plus or minus sign. {exp} is the exponent, power of 10. Only a decimal point is accepted, not a comma. No matter what the current locale is. {only when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} Examples: 123.456 +0.0001 55.0 -0.123 1.234e03 1.0E-6 -3.1416e+88 These are INVALID: 3. empty {M} 1e40 missing .{M} Rationale: Before floating point was introduced, the text "123.456" was interpreted as the two numbers "123" and "456", both converted to a string and concatenated, resulting in the string "123456". Since this was considered pointless, and we could not find it intentionally being used in Vim scripts, this backwards incompatibility was accepted in favor of being able to use the normal notation for floating point numbers. float-pi float-e A few useful values to copy&paste: > :let pi = 3.14159265359 :let e = 2.71828182846 Or, if you don't want to write them in as floating-point literals, you can also use functions, like the following: > :let pi = acos(-1.0) :let e = exp(1.0) < floating-point-precision The precision and range of floating points numbers depends on what "double" means in the library Vim was compiled with. There is no way to change this at runtime. The default for displaying a \|Float\| is to use 6 decimal places, like using printf("%g", f). You can select something else when using the \|printf()\| function. Example: > :echo printf('%.15e', atan(1)) < 7.853981633974483e-01 string string String expr-string E114 ------ "string" string constant expr-quote Note that double quotes are used. A string constant accepts these special characters: \... three-digit octal number (e.g., "\316") \.. two-digit octal number (must be followed by non-digit) \. one-digit octal number (must be followed by non-digit) \x.. byte specified with two hex numbers (e.g., "\x1f") \x. byte specified with one hex number (must be followed by non-hex char) \X.. same as \x.. \X. same as \x. \u.... character specified with up to 4 hex numbers, stored according to the current value of 'encoding' (e.g., "\u02a4") \U.... same as \u but allows up to 8 hex numbers. \b backspace <BS> \e escape <Esc> \f formfeed <FF> \n newline <NL> \r return <CR> \t tab <Tab> \\ backslash \" double quote \<xxx> Special key named "xxx". e.g. "\<C-W>" for CTRL-W. This is for use in mappings, the 0x80 byte is escaped. To use the double quote character it must be escaped: "<M-\">". Don't use <Char-xxxx> to get a utf-8 character, use \uxxxx as mentioned above. \<xxx> Like \<xxx> but prepends a modifier instead of including it in the character. E.g. "\<C-w>" is one character 0x17 while "\<C-w>" is four bytes: 3 for the CTRL modifier and then character "W". Note that "\xff" is stored as the byte 255, which may be invalid in some encodings. Use "\u00ff" to store character 255 according to the current value of 'encoding'. Note that "\000" and "\x00" force the end of the string. blob-literal blob-literal E973 ------------ Hexadecimal starting with 0z or 0Z, with an arbitrary number of bytes. The sequence must be an even number of hex characters. Example: > :let b = 0zFF00ED015DAF literal-string literal-string E115 --------------- 'string' string constant expr-' Note that single quotes are used. This string is taken as it is. No backslashes are removed or have a special meaning. The only exception is that two quotes stand for one quote. Single quoted strings are useful for patterns, so that backslashes do not need to be doubled. These two commands are equivalent: > if a =~ "\\s" if a =~ '\s' option expr-option E112 E113 ------ &option option value, local value if possible &g:option global option value &l:option local option value Examples: > echo "tabstop is " . &tabstop if &insertmode Any option name can be used here. See \|options\|. When using the local value and there is no buffer-local or window-local value, the global value is used anyway. register expr-register @r -------- @r contents of register 'r' The result is the contents of the named register, as a single string. Newlines are inserted where required. To get the contents of the unnamed register use @" or @@. See \|registers\| for an explanation of the available registers. When using the '=' register you get the expression itself, not what it evaluates to. Use \|eval()\| to evaluate it. nesting expr-nesting E110 ------- (expr1) nested expression environment variable expr-env -------------------- $VAR environment variable The String value of any environment variable. When it is not defined, the result is an empty string. The functions `getenv()` and `setenv()` can also be used and work for environment variables with non-alphanumeric names. The function `environ()` can be used to get a Dict with all environment variables. expr-env-expand Note that there is a difference between using $VAR directly and using expand("$VAR"). Using it directly will only expand environment variables that are known inside the current Vim session. Using expand() will first try using the environment variables known inside the current Vim session. If that fails, a shell will be used to expand the variable. This can be slow, but it does expand all variables that the shell knows about. Example: > :echo $shell :echo expand("$shell") The first one probably doesn't echo anything, the second echoes the $shell variable (if your shell supports it). internal variable expr-variable ----------------- variable internal variable See below \|internal-variables\|. function call expr-function E116 E118 E119 E120 ------------- function(expr1, ...) function call See below \|functions\|. lambda expression expr-lambda lambda ----------------- {args -> expr1} lambda expression A lambda expression creates a new unnamed function which returns the result of evaluating \|expr1\|. Lambda expressions differ from \|user-functions\| in the following ways: 1. The body of the lambda expression is an \|expr1\| and not a sequence of \|Ex\| commands. 2. The prefix "a:" should not be used for arguments. E.g.: > :let F = {arg1, arg2 -> arg1 - arg2} :echo F(5, 2) < 3 The arguments are optional. Example: > :let F = {-> 'error function'} :echo F() < error function closure Lambda expressions can access outer scope variables and arguments. This is often called a closure. Example where "i" and "a:arg" are used in a lambda while they already exist in the function scope. They remain valid even after the function returns: > :function Foo(arg) : let i = 3 : return {x -> x + i - a:arg} :endfunction :let Bar = Foo(4) :echo Bar(6) < 5 Note that the variables must exist in the outer scope before the lambda is defined for this to work. See also \|:func-closure\|. Lambda and closure support can be checked with: > if has('lambda') Examples for using a lambda expression with \|sort()\|, \|map()\| and \|filter()\|: > :echo map([1, 2, 3], {idx, val -> val + 1}) < [2, 3, 4] > :echo sort([3,7,2,1,4], {a, b -> a - b}) < [1, 2, 3, 4, 7] The lambda expression is also useful for Channel, Job and timer: > :let timer = timer_start(500, \ {-> execute("echo 'Handler called'", "")}, \ {'repeat': 3}) < Handler called Handler called Handler called Note how execute() is used to execute an Ex command. That's ugly though. Lambda expressions have internal names like '<lambda>42'. If you get an error for a lambda expression, you can find what it is with the following command: > :function <lambda>42 See also: \|numbered-function\| ============================================================================== 3. Internal variable internal-variables E461 An internal variable name can be made up of letters, digits and '_'. But it cannot start with a digit. It's also possible to use curly braces, see \|curly-braces-names\|. An internal variable is created with the ":let" command \|:let\|. An internal variable is explicitly destroyed with the ":unlet" command \|:unlet\|. Using a name that is not an internal variable or refers to a variable that has been destroyed results in an error. variable-scope There are several name spaces for variables. Which one is to be used is specified by what is prepended: (nothing) In a function: local to a function; otherwise: global \|buffer-variable\| b: Local to the current buffer. \|window-variable\| w: Local to the current window. \|tabpage-variable\| t: Local to the current tab page. \|global-variable\| g: Global. \|local-variable\| l: Local to a function. \|script-variable\| s: Local to a \|:source\|'ed Vim script. \|function-argument\| a: Function argument (only inside a function). \|vim-variable\| v: Global, predefined by Vim. The scope name by itself can be used as a \|Dictionary\|. For example, to delete all script-local variables: > :for k in keys(s:) : unlet s:[k] :endfor Note: in Vim9 script this is different, see \|vim9-scopes\|. buffer-variable b:var b: A variable name that is preceded with "b:" is local to the current buffer. Thus you can have several "b:foo" variables, one for each buffer. This kind of variable is deleted when the buffer is wiped out or deleted with \|:bdelete\|. One local buffer variable is predefined: b:changedtick changetick b:changedtick The total number of changes to the current buffer. It is incremented for each change. An undo command is also a change in this case. Resetting 'modified' when writing the buffer is also counted. This can be used to perform an action only when the buffer has changed. Example: > :if my_changedtick != b:changedtick : let my_changedtick = b:changedtick : call My_Update() :endif < You cannot change or delete the b:changedtick variable. window-variable w:var w: A variable name that is preceded with "w:" is local to the current window. It is deleted when the window is closed. tabpage-variable t:var t: A variable name that is preceded with "t:" is local to the current tab page, It is deleted when the tab page is closed. {not available when compiled without the \|+windows\| feature} global-variable g:var g: Inside functions global variables are accessed with "g:". Omitting this will access a variable local to a function. But "g:" can also be used in any other place if you like. local-variable l:var l: Inside functions local variables are accessed without prepending anything. But you can also prepend "l:" if you like. However, without prepending "l:" you may run into reserved variable names. For example "count". By itself it refers to "v:count". Using "l:count" you can have a local variable with the same name. script-variable s:var In a Vim script variables starting with "s:" can be used. They cannot be accessed from outside of the scripts, thus are local to the script. They can be used in: - commands executed while the script is sourced - functions defined in the script - autocommands defined in the script - functions and autocommands defined in functions and autocommands which were defined in the script (recursively) - user defined commands defined in the script Thus not in: - other scripts sourced from this one - mappings - menus - etc. Script variables can be used to avoid conflicts with global variable names. Take this example: > let s:counter = 0 function MyCounter() let s:counter = s:counter + 1 echo s:counter endfunction command Tick call MyCounter() You can now invoke "Tick" from any script, and the "s:counter" variable in that script will not be changed, only the "s:counter" in the script where "Tick" was defined is used. Another example that does the same: > let s:counter = 0 command Tick let s:counter = s:counter + 1 \| echo s:counter When calling a function and invoking a user-defined command, the context for script variables is set to the script where the function or command was defined. The script variables are also available when a function is defined inside a function that is defined in a script. Example: > let s:counter = 0 function StartCounting(incr) if a:incr function MyCounter() let s:counter = s:counter + 1 endfunction else function MyCounter() let s:counter = s:counter - 1 endfunction endif endfunction This defines the MyCounter() function either for counting up or counting down when calling StartCounting(). It doesn't matter from where StartCounting() is called, the s:counter variable will be accessible in MyCounter(). When the same script is sourced again it will use the same script variables. They will remain valid as long as Vim is running. This can be used to maintain a counter: > if !exists("s:counter") let s:counter = 1 echo "script executed for the first time" else let s:counter = s:counter + 1 echo "script executed " . s:counter . " times now" endif Note that this means that filetype plugins don't get a different set of script variables for each buffer. Use local buffer variables instead \|b:var\|. PREDEFINED VIM VARIABLES vim-variable v:var v: E963 Some variables can be set by the user, but the type cannot be changed. v:argv argv-variable v:argv The command line arguments Vim was invoked with. This is a list of strings. The first item is the Vim command. v:beval_col beval_col-variable v:beval_col The number of the column, over which the mouse pointer is. This is the byte index in the \|v:beval_lnum\| line. Only valid while evaluating the 'balloonexpr' option. v:beval_bufnr beval_bufnr-variable v:beval_bufnr The number of the buffer, over which the mouse pointer is. Only valid while evaluating the 'balloonexpr' option. v:beval_lnum beval_lnum-variable v:beval_lnum The number of the line, over which the mouse pointer is. Only valid while evaluating the 'balloonexpr' option. v:beval_text beval_text-variable v:beval_text The text under or after the mouse pointer. Usually a word as it is useful for debugging a C program. 'iskeyword' applies, but a dot and "->" before the position is included. When on a ']' the text before it is used, including the matching '[' and word before it. When on a Visual area within one line the highlighted text is used. Also see \|<cexpr>\|. Only valid while evaluating the 'balloonexpr' option. v:beval_winnr beval_winnr-variable v:beval_winnr The number of the window, over which the mouse pointer is. Only valid while evaluating the 'balloonexpr' option. The first window has number zero (unlike most other places where a window gets a number). v:beval_winid beval_winid-variable v:beval_winid The \|window-ID\| of the window, over which the mouse pointer is. Otherwise like v:beval_winnr. v:char char-variable v:char Argument for evaluating 'formatexpr' and used for the typed character when using <expr> in an abbreviation \|:map-<expr>\|. It is also used by the \|InsertCharPre\| and \|InsertEnter\| events. v:charconvert_from charconvert_from-variable v:charconvert_from The name of the character encoding of a file to be converted. Only valid while evaluating the 'charconvert' option. v:charconvert_to charconvert_to-variable v:charconvert_to The name of the character encoding of a file after conversion. Only valid while evaluating the 'charconvert' option. v:cmdarg cmdarg-variable v:cmdarg This variable is used for two purposes: 1. The extra arguments given to a file read/write command. Currently these are "++enc=" and "++ff=". This variable is set before an autocommand event for a file read/write command is triggered. There is a leading space to make it possible to append this variable directly after the read/write command. Note: The "+cmd" argument isn't included here, because it will be executed anyway. 2. When printing a PostScript file with ":hardcopy" this is the argument for the ":hardcopy" command. This can be used in 'printexpr'. v:cmdbang cmdbang-variable v:cmdbang Set like v:cmdarg for a file read/write command. When a "!" was used the value is 1, otherwise it is 0. Note that this can only be used in autocommands. For user commands \|<bang>\| can be used. v:collate collate-variable v:collate The current locale setting for collation order of the runtime environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the current locale encoding. Technical: it's the value of LC_COLLATE. When not using a locale the value is "C". This variable can not be set directly, use the \|:language\| command. See \|multi-lang\|. v:completed_item completed_item-variable v:completed_item \|Dictionary\| containing the \|complete-items\| for the most recently completed word after \|CompleteDone\|. The \|Dictionary\| is empty if the completion failed. v:count count-variable v:count The count given for the last Normal mode command. Can be used to get the count before a mapping. Read-only. Example: > :map _x :<C-U>echo "the count is " . v:count<CR> < Note: The <C-U> is required to remove the line range that you get when typing ':' after a count. When there are two counts, as in "3d2w", they are multiplied, just like what happens in the command, "d6w" for the example. Also used for evaluating the 'formatexpr' option. "count" also works, for backwards compatibility, unless \|scriptversion\| is 3 or higher. v:count1 count1-variable v:count1 Just like "v:count", but defaults to one when no count is used. v:ctype ctype-variable v:ctype The current locale setting for characters of the runtime environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the current locale encoding. Technical: it's the value of LC_CTYPE. When not using a locale the value is "C". This variable can not be set directly, use the \|:language\| command. See \|multi-lang\|. v:dying dying-variable v:dying Normally zero. When a deadly signal is caught it's set to one. When multiple signals are caught the number increases. Can be used in an autocommand to check if Vim didn't terminate normally. {only works on Unix} Example: > :au VimLeave * if v:dying \| echo "\nAAAAaaaarrrggghhhh!!!\n" \| endif < Note: if another deadly signal is caught when v:dying is one, VimLeave autocommands will not be executed. v:exiting exiting-variable v:exiting Vim exit code. Normally zero, non-zero when something went wrong. The value is v:null before invoking the \|VimLeavePre\| and \|VimLeave\| autocmds. See \|:q\|, \|:x\| and \|:cquit\|. Example: > :au VimLeave * echo "Exit value is " .. v:exiting < v:echospace echospace-variable v:echospace Number of screen cells that can be used for an `:echo` message in the last screen line before causing the \|hit-enter-prompt\|. Depends on 'showcmd', 'ruler' and 'columns'. You need to check 'cmdheight' for whether there are full-width lines available above the last line. v:errmsg errmsg-variable v:errmsg Last given error message. It's allowed to set this variable. Example: > :let v:errmsg = "" :silent! next :if v:errmsg != "" : ... handle error < "errmsg" also works, for backwards compatibility, unless \|scriptversion\| is 3 or higher. v:errors errors-variable assert-return v:errors Errors found by assert functions, such as \|assert_true()\|. This is a list of strings. The assert functions append an item when an assert fails. The return value indicates this: a one is returned if an item was added to v:errors, otherwise zero is returned. To remove old results make it empty: > :let v:errors = [] < If v:errors is set to anything but a list it is made an empty list by the assert function. v:event event-variable v:event Dictionary containing information about the current \|autocommand\|. See the specific event for what it puts in this dictionary. The dictionary is emptied when the \|autocommand\| finishes, please refer to \|dict-identity\| for how to get an independent copy of it. Use \|deepcopy()\| if you want to keep the information after the event triggers. Example: > au TextYankPost * let g:foo = deepcopy(v:event) < v:exception exception-variable v:exception The value of the exception most recently caught and not finished. See also \|v:throwpoint\| and \|throw-variables\|. Example: > :try : throw "oops" :catch /./ : echo "caught " .. v:exception :endtry < Output: "caught oops". v:false* false-variable v:false A Number with value zero. Used to put "false" in JSON. See \|json_encode()\|. When used as a string this evaluates to "v:false". > echo v:false < v:false ~ That is so that eval() can parse the string back to the same value. Read-only. v:fcs_reason fcs_reason-variable v:fcs_reason The reason why the \|FileChangedShell\| event was triggered. Can be used in an autocommand to decide what to do and/or what to set v:fcs_choice to. Possible values: deleted file no longer exists conflict file contents, mode or timestamp was changed and buffer is modified changed file contents has changed mode mode of file changed time only file timestamp changed v:fcs_choice fcs_choice-variable v:fcs_choice What should happen after a \|FileChangedShell\| event was triggered. Can be used in an autocommand to tell Vim what to do with the affected buffer: reload Reload the buffer (does not work if the file was deleted). ask Ask the user what to do, as if there was no autocommand. Except that when only the timestamp changed nothing will happen. <empty> Nothing, the autocommand should do everything that needs to be done. The default is empty. If another (invalid) value is used then Vim behaves like it is empty, there is no warning message. v:fname_in fname_in-variable v:fname_in The name of the input file. Valid while evaluating: option used for ~ 'charconvert' file to be converted 'diffexpr' original file 'patchexpr' original file 'printexpr' file to be printed And set to the swap file name for \|SwapExists\|. v:fname_out fname_out-variable v:fname_out The name of the output file. Only valid while evaluating: option used for ~ 'charconvert' resulting converted file () 'diffexpr' output of diff 'patchexpr' resulting patched file () When doing conversion for a write command (e.g., ":w file") it will be equal to v:fname_in. When doing conversion for a read command (e.g., ":e file") it will be a temporary file and different from v:fname_in. v:fname_new fname_new-variable v:fname_new The name of the new version of the file. Only valid while evaluating 'diffexpr'. v:fname_diff fname_diff-variable v:fname_diff The name of the diff (patch) file. Only valid while evaluating 'patchexpr'. v:folddashes folddashes-variable v:folddashes Used for 'foldtext': dashes representing foldlevel of a closed fold. Read-only in the \|sandbox\|. \|fold-foldtext\| v:foldlevel foldlevel-variable v:foldlevel Used for 'foldtext': foldlevel of closed fold. Read-only in the \|sandbox\|. \|fold-foldtext\| v:foldend foldend-variable v:foldend Used for 'foldtext': last line of closed fold. Read-only in the \|sandbox\|. \|fold-foldtext\| v:foldstart foldstart-variable v:foldstart Used for 'foldtext': first line of closed fold. Read-only in the \|sandbox\|. \|fold-foldtext\| v:hlsearch hlsearch-variable v:hlsearch Variable that indicates whether search highlighting is on. Setting it makes sense only if 'hlsearch' is enabled which requires \|+extra_search\|. Setting this variable to zero acts like the \|:nohlsearch\| command, setting it to one acts like > let &hlsearch = &hlsearch < Note that the value is restored when returning from a function. \|function-search-undo\|. v:insertmode insertmode-variable v:insertmode Used for the \|InsertEnter\| and \|InsertChange\| autocommand events. Values: i Insert mode r Replace mode v Virtual Replace mode v:key key-variable v:key Key of the current item of a \|Dictionary\|. Only valid while evaluating the expression used with \|map()\| and \|filter()\|. Read-only. v:lang lang-variable v:lang The current locale setting for messages of the runtime environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the current language. Technical: it's the value of LC_MESSAGES. The value is system dependent. This variable can not be set directly, use the \|:language\| command. It can be different from \|v:ctype\| when messages are desired in a different language than what is used for character encoding. See \|multi-lang\|. v:lc_time lc_time-variable v:lc_time The current locale setting for time messages of the runtime environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the current language. Technical: it's the value of LC_TIME. This variable can not be set directly, use the \|:language\| command. See \|multi-lang\|. v:lnum lnum-variable v:lnum Line number for the 'foldexpr' \|fold-expr\|, 'formatexpr' and 'indentexpr' expressions, tab page number for 'guitablabel' and 'guitabtooltip'. Only valid while one of these expressions is being evaluated. Read-only when in the \|sandbox\|. v:mouse_win mouse_win-variable v:mouse_win Window number for a mouse click obtained with \|getchar()\|. First window has number 1, like with \|winnr()\|. The value is zero when there was no mouse button click. v:mouse_winid mouse_winid-variable v:mouse_winid Window ID for a mouse click obtained with \|getchar()\|. The value is zero when there was no mouse button click. v:mouse_lnum mouse_lnum-variable v:mouse_lnum Line number for a mouse click obtained with \|getchar()\|. This is the text line number, not the screen line number. The value is zero when there was no mouse button click. v:mouse_col mouse_col-variable v:mouse_col Column number for a mouse click obtained with \|getchar()\|. This is the screen column number, like with \|virtcol()\|. The value is zero when there was no mouse button click. v:none none-variable None v:none An empty String. Used to put an empty item in JSON. See \|json_encode()\|. This can also be used as a function argument to use the default value, see \|none-function_argument\|. When used as a number this evaluates to zero. When used as a string this evaluates to "v:none". > echo v:none < v:none ~ That is so that eval() can parse the string back to the same value. Read-only. v:null null-variable v:null An empty String. Used to put "null" in JSON. See \|json_encode()\|. When used as a number this evaluates to zero. When used as a string this evaluates to "v:null". > echo v:null < v:null ~ That is so that eval() can parse the string back to the same value. Read-only. v:numbermax numbermax-variable v:numbermax Maximum value of a number. v:numbermin numbermin-variable v:numbermin Minimum value of a number (negative) v:numbersize numbersize-variable v:numbersize Number of bits in a Number. This is normally 64, but on some systems it may be 32. v:oldfiles oldfiles-variable v:oldfiles List of file names that is loaded from the \|viminfo\| file on startup. These are the files that Vim remembers marks for. The length of the List is limited by the ' argument of the 'viminfo' option (default is 100). When the \|viminfo\| file is not used the List is empty. Also see \|:oldfiles\| and \|c_#<\|. The List can be modified, but this has no effect on what is stored in the \|viminfo\| file later. If you use values other than String this will cause trouble. {only when compiled with the \|+viminfo\| feature} v:option_new v:option_new New value of the option. Valid while executing an \|OptionSet\| autocommand. v:option_old v:option_old Old value of the option. Valid while executing an \|OptionSet\| autocommand. Depending on the command used for setting and the kind of option this is either the local old value or the global old value. v:option_oldlocal v:option_oldlocal Old local value of the option. Valid while executing an \|OptionSet\| autocommand. v:option_oldglobal v:option_oldglobal Old global value of the option. Valid while executing an \|OptionSet\| autocommand. v:option_type v:option_type Scope of the set command. Valid while executing an \|OptionSet\| autocommand. Can be either "global" or "local" v:option_command v:option_command Command used to set the option. Valid while executing an \|OptionSet\| autocommand. value option was set via ~ "setlocal" \|:setlocal\| or ":let l:xxx" "setglobal" \|:setglobal\| or ":let g:xxx" "set" \|:set\| or \|:let\| "modeline" \|modeline\| v:operator operator-variable v:operator The last operator given in Normal mode. This is a single character except for commands starting with <g> or <z>, in which case it is two characters. Best used alongside \|v:prevcount\| and \|v:register\|. Useful if you want to cancel Operator-pending mode and then use the operator, e.g.: > :omap O <Esc>:call MyMotion(v:operator)<CR> < The value remains set until another operator is entered, thus don't expect it to be empty. v:operator is not set for \|:delete\|, \|:yank\| or other Ex commands. Read-only. v:prevcount prevcount-variable v:prevcount The count given for the last but one Normal mode command. This is the v:count value of the previous command. Useful if you want to cancel Visual or Operator-pending mode and then use the count, e.g.: > :vmap % <Esc>:call MyFilter(v:prevcount)<CR> < Read-only. v:profiling profiling-variable v:profiling Normally zero. Set to one after using ":profile start". See \|profiling\|. v:progname progname-variable v:progname Contains the name (with path removed) with which Vim was invoked. Allows you to do special initialisations for \|view\|, \|evim\| etc., or any other name you might symlink to Vim. Read-only. v:progpath progpath-variable v:progpath Contains the command with which Vim was invoked, in a form that when passed to the shell will run the same Vim executable as the current one (if $PATH remains unchanged). Useful if you want to message a Vim server using a \|--remote-expr\|. To get the full path use: > echo exepath(v:progpath) < If the command has a relative path it will be expanded to the full path, so that it still works after `:cd`. Thus starting "./vim" results in "/home/user/path/to/vim/src/vim". On Linux and other systems it will always be the full path. On Mac it may just be "vim" and using exepath() as mentioned above should be used to get the full path. On MS-Windows the executable may be called "vim.exe", but the ".exe" is not added to v:progpath. Read-only. v:register register-variable v:register The name of the register in effect for the current normal mode command (regardless of whether that command actually used a register). Or for the currently executing normal mode mapping (use this in custom commands that take a register). If none is supplied it is the default register '"', unless 'clipboard' contains "unnamed" or "unnamedplus", then it is '' or '+'. Also see \|getreg()\| and \|setreg()\| v:scrollstart* scrollstart-variable v:scrollstart String describing the script or function that caused the screen to scroll up. It's only set when it is empty, thus the first reason is remembered. It is set to "Unknown" for a typed command. This can be used to find out why your script causes the hit-enter prompt. v:servername servername-variable v:servername The resulting registered \|client-server-name\| if any. Read-only. v:searchforward v:searchforward searchforward-variable Search direction: 1 after a forward search, 0 after a backward search. It is reset to forward when directly setting the last search pattern, see \|quote/\|. Note that the value is restored when returning from a function. \|function-search-undo\|. Read-write. v:shell_error shell_error-variable v:shell_error Result of the last shell command. When non-zero, the last shell command had an error. When zero, there was no problem. This only works when the shell returns the error code to Vim. The value -1 is often used when the command could not be executed. Read-only. Example: > :!mv foo bar :if v:shell_error : echo 'could not rename "foo" to "bar"!' :endif < "shell_error" also works, for backwards compatibility, unless \|scriptversion\| is 3 or higher. v:statusmsg statusmsg-variable v:statusmsg Last given status message. It's allowed to set this variable. v:swapname swapname-variable v:swapname Only valid when executing \|SwapExists\| autocommands: Name of the swap file found. Read-only. v:swapchoice swapchoice-variable v:swapchoice \|SwapExists\| autocommands can set this to the selected choice for handling an existing swap file: 'o' Open read-only 'e' Edit anyway 'r' Recover 'd' Delete swapfile 'q' Quit 'a' Abort The value should be a single-character string. An empty value results in the user being asked, as would happen when there is no SwapExists autocommand. The default is empty. v:swapcommand swapcommand-variable v:swapcommand Normal mode command to be executed after a file has been opened. Can be used for a \|SwapExists\| autocommand to have another Vim open the file and jump to the right place. For example, when jumping to a tag the value is ":tag tagname\r". For ":edit +cmd file" the value is ":cmd\r". v:t_TYPE v:t_bool t_bool-variable v:t_bool Value of \|Boolean\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_channel t_channel-variable v:t_channel Value of \|Channel\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_dict t_dict-variable v:t_dict Value of \|Dictionary\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_float t_float-variable v:t_float Value of \|Float\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_func t_func-variable v:t_func Value of \|Funcref\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_job t_job-variable v:t_job Value of \|Job\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_list t_list-variable v:t_list Value of \|List\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_none t_none-variable v:t_none Value of \|None\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_number t_number-variable v:t_number Value of \|Number\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_string t_string-variable v:t_string Value of \|String\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:t_blob t_blob-variable v:t_blob Value of \|Blob\| type. Read-only. See: \|type()\| v:termresponse termresponse-variable v:termresponse The escape sequence returned by the terminal for the \|t_RV\| termcap entry. It is set when Vim receives an escape sequence that starts with ESC [ or CSI, then '>' or '?' and ends in a 'c', with only digits and ';' in between. When this option is set, the TermResponse autocommand event is fired, so that you can react to the response from the terminal. You can use \|terminalprops()\| to see what Vim figured out about the terminal. The response from a new xterm is: "<Esc>[> Pp ; Pv ; Pc c". Pp is the terminal type: 0 for vt100 and 1 for vt220. Pv is the patch level (since this was introduced in patch 95, it's always 95 or bigger). Pc is always zero. {only when compiled with \|+termresponse\| feature} v:termblinkresp v:termblinkresp The escape sequence returned by the terminal for the \|t_RC\| termcap entry. This is used to find out whether the terminal cursor is blinking. This is used by \|term_getcursor()\|. v:termstyleresp v:termstyleresp The escape sequence returned by the terminal for the \|t_RS\| termcap entry. This is used to find out what the shape of the cursor is. This is used by \|term_getcursor()\|. v:termrbgresp v:termrbgresp The escape sequence returned by the terminal for the \|t_RB\| termcap entry. This is used to find out what the terminal background color is, see 'background'. v:termrfgresp v:termrfgresp The escape sequence returned by the terminal for the \|t_RF\| termcap entry. This is used to find out what the terminal foreground color is. v:termu7resp v:termu7resp The escape sequence returned by the terminal for the \|t_u7\| termcap entry. This is used to find out what the terminal does with ambiguous width characters, see 'ambiwidth'. v:testing testing-variable v:testing Must be set before using `test_garbagecollect_now()`. Also, when set certain error messages won't be shown for 2 seconds. (e.g. "'dictionary' option is empty") v:this_session this_session-variable v:this_session Full filename of the last loaded or saved session file. See \|:mksession\|. It is allowed to set this variable. When no session file has been saved, this variable is empty. "this_session" also works, for backwards compatibility, unless \|scriptversion\| is 3 or higher v:throwpoint throwpoint-variable v:throwpoint The point where the exception most recently caught and not finished was thrown. Not set when commands are typed. See also \|v:exception\| and \|throw-variables\|. Example: > :try : throw "oops" :catch /./ : echo "Exception from" v:throwpoint :endtry < Output: "Exception from test.vim, line 2" v:true* true-variable v:true A Number with value one. Used to put "true" in JSON. See \|json_encode()\|. When used as a string this evaluates to "v:true". > echo v:true < v:true ~ That is so that eval() can parse the string back to the same value. Read-only. v:val val-variable v:val Value of the current item of a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\|. Only valid while evaluating the expression used with \|map()\| and \|filter()\|. Read-only. v:version version-variable v:version Version number of Vim: Major version number times 100 plus minor version number. Version 5.0 is 500. Version 5.1 is 501. Read-only. "version" also works, for backwards compatibility, unless \|scriptversion\| is 3 or higher. Use \|has()\| to check if a certain patch was included, e.g.: > if has("patch-7.4.123") < Note that patch numbers are specific to the version, thus both version 5.0 and 5.1 may have a patch 123, but these are completely different. v:versionlong versionlong-variable v:versionlong Like v:version, but also including the patchlevel in the last four digits. Version 8.1 with patch 123 has value 8010123. This can be used like this: > if v:versionlong >= 8010123 < However, if there are gaps in the list of patches included this will not work well. This can happen if a recent patch was included into an older version, e.g. for a security fix. Use the has() function to make sure the patch is actually included. v:vim_did_enter vim_did_enter-variable v:vim_did_enter Zero until most of startup is done. It is set to one just before \|VimEnter\| autocommands are triggered. v:warningmsg warningmsg-variable v:warningmsg Last given warning message. It's allowed to set this variable. v:windowid windowid-variable v:windowid When any X11 based GUI is running or when running in a terminal and Vim connects to the X server (\|-X\|) this will be set to the window ID. When an MS-Windows GUI is running this will be set to the window handle. Otherwise the value is zero. Note: for windows inside Vim use \|winnr()\| or \|win_getid()\|, see \|window-ID\|. ============================================================================== 4.

{flags}]) Number write \|Blob\| or \|List\| of lines to file xor({expr}, {expr}) Number bitwise XOR abs({expr}) abs() Return the absolute value of {expr}. When {expr} evaluates to a \|Float\| abs() returns a \|Float\|. When {expr} can be converted to a \|Number\| abs() returns a \|Number\|. Otherwise abs() gives an error message and returns -1. Examples: > echo abs(1.456) < 1.456 > echo abs(-5.456) < 5.456 > echo abs(-4) < 4 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->abs() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} acos({expr}) acos() Return the arc cosine of {expr} measured in radians, as a \|Float\| in the range of [0, pi]. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\| in the range [-1, 1]. Examples: > :echo acos(0) < 1.570796 > :echo acos(-0.5) < 2.094395 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->acos() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} add({object}, {expr}) add() Append the item {expr} to \|List\| or \|Blob\| {object}. Returns the resulting \|List\| or \|Blob\|. Examples: > :let alist = add([1, 2, 3], item) :call add(mylist, "woodstock") < Note that when {expr} is a \|List\| it is appended as a single item. Use \|extend()\| to concatenate \|Lists\|. When {object} is a \|Blob\| then {expr} must be a number. Use \|insert()\| to add an item at another position. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->add(val1)->add(val2) and({expr}, {expr}) and() Bitwise AND on the two arguments. The arguments are converted to a number. A List, Dict or Float argument causes an error. Example: > :let flag = and(bits, 0x80) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > :let flag = bits->and(0x80) append({lnum}, {text}) append() When {text} is a \|List\|: Append each item of the \|List\| as a text line below line {lnum} in the current buffer. Otherwise append {text} as one text line below line {lnum} in the current buffer. Any type of item is accepted and converted to a String. {lnum} can be zero to insert a line before the first one. Returns 1 for failure ({lnum} out of range or out of memory), 0 for success. Example: > :let failed = append(line('$'), "# THE END") :let failed = append(0, ["Chapter 1", "the beginning"]) < Can also be used as a \|method\| after a List, the base is passed as the second argument: > mylist->append(lnum) appendbufline({expr}, {lnum}, {text}) appendbufline() Like \|append()\| but append the text in buffer {expr}. This function works only for loaded buffers. First call \|bufload()\| if needed. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\|. {lnum} is used like with \|append()\|. Note that using \|line()\| would use the current buffer, not the one appending to. Use "$" to append at the end of the buffer. On success 0 is returned, on failure 1 is returned. If {expr} is not a valid buffer or {lnum} is not valid, an error message is given. Example: > :let failed = appendbufline(13, 0, "# THE START") < Can also be used as a \|method\| after a List, the base is passed as the second argument: > mylist->appendbufline(buf, lnum) argc([{winid}]) argc() The result is the number of files in the argument list. See \|arglist\|. If {winid} is not supplied, the argument list of the current window is used. If {winid} is -1, the global argument list is used. Otherwise {winid} specifies the window of which the argument list is used: either the window number or the window ID. Returns -1 if the {winid} argument is invalid. argidx() argidx() The result is the current index in the argument list. 0 is the first file. argc() - 1 is the last one. See \|arglist\|. arglistid() arglistid([{winnr} [, {tabnr}]]) Return the argument list ID. This is a number which identifies the argument list being used. Zero is used for the global argument list. See \|arglist\|. Returns -1 if the arguments are invalid. Without arguments use the current window. With {winnr} only use this window in the current tab page. With {winnr} and {tabnr} use the window in the specified tab page. {winnr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. argv() argv([{nr} [, {winid}]]) The result is the {nr}th file in the argument list. See \|arglist\|. "argv(0)" is the first one. Example: > :let i = 0 :while i < argc() : let f = escape(fnameescape(argv(i)), '.') : exe 'amenu Arg.' . f . ' :e ' . f . '<CR>' : let i = i + 1 :endwhile < Without the {nr} argument, or when {nr} is -1, a \|List\| with the whole \|arglist\| is returned. The {winid} argument specifies the window ID, see \|argc()\|. For the Vim command line arguments see \|v:argv\|. asin({expr}) asin() Return the arc sine of {expr} measured in radians, as a \|Float\| in the range of [-pi/2, pi/2]. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\| in the range [-1, 1]. Examples: > :echo asin(0.8) < 0.927295 > :echo asin(-0.5) < -0.523599 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->asin() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} assert_ functions are documented here: \|assert-functions-details\| atan({expr}) atan() Return the principal value of the arc tangent of {expr}, in the range [-pi/2, +pi/2] radians, as a \|Float\|. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo atan(100) < 1.560797 > :echo atan(-4.01) < -1.326405 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->atan() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} atan2({expr1}, {expr2}) atan2() Return the arc tangent of {expr1} / {expr2}, measured in radians, as a \|Float\| in the range [-pi, pi]. {expr1} and {expr2} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo atan2(-1, 1) < -0.785398 > :echo atan2(1, -1) < 2.356194 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->atan(1) < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} balloon_gettext() balloon_gettext() Return the current text in the balloon. Only for the string, not used for the List. balloon_show({expr}) balloon_show() Show {expr} inside the balloon. For the GUI {expr} is used as a string. For a terminal {expr} can be a list, which contains the lines of the balloon. If {expr} is not a list it will be split with \|balloon_split()\|. If {expr} is an empty string any existing balloon is removed. Example: > func GetBalloonContent() " ... initiate getting the content return '' endfunc set balloonexpr=GetBalloonContent() func BalloonCallback(result) call balloon_show(a:result) endfunc < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->balloon_show() < The intended use is that fetching the content of the balloon is initiated from 'balloonexpr'. It will invoke an asynchronous method, in which a callback invokes balloon_show(). The 'balloonexpr' itself can return an empty string or a placeholder. When showing a balloon is not possible nothing happens, no error message. {only available when compiled with the \|+balloon_eval\| or \|+balloon_eval_term\| feature} balloon_split({msg}) balloon_split() Split {msg} into lines to be displayed in a balloon. The splits are made for the current window size and optimize to show debugger output. Returns a \|List\| with the split lines. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->balloon_split()->balloon_show() < {only available when compiled with the \|+balloon_eval_term\| feature} browse() browse({save}, {title}, {initdir}, {default}) Put up a file requester. This only works when "has("browse")" returns \|TRUE\| (only in some GUI versions). The input fields are: {save} when \|TRUE\|, select file to write {title} title for the requester {initdir} directory to start browsing in {default} default file name An empty string is returned when the "Cancel" button is hit, something went wrong, or browsing is not possible. browsedir() browsedir({title}, {initdir}) Put up a directory requester. This only works when "has("browse")" returns \|TRUE\| (only in some GUI versions). On systems where a directory browser is not supported a file browser is used. In that case: select a file in the directory to be used. The input fields are: {title} title for the requester {initdir} directory to start browsing in When the "Cancel" button is hit, something went wrong, or browsing is not possible, an empty string is returned. bufadd({name}) bufadd() Add a buffer to the buffer list with {name}. If a buffer for file {name} already exists, return that buffer number. Otherwise return the buffer number of the newly created buffer. When {name} is an empty string then a new buffer is always created. The buffer will not have 'buflisted' set and not be loaded yet. To add some text to the buffer use this: > let bufnr = bufadd('someName') call bufload(bufnr) call setbufline(bufnr, 1, ['some', 'text']) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > let bufnr = 'somename'->bufadd() bufexists({expr}) bufexists() The result is a Number, which is \|TRUE\| if a buffer called {expr} exists. If the {expr} argument is a number, buffer numbers are used. Number zero is the alternate buffer for the current window. If the {expr} argument is a string it must match a buffer name exactly. The name can be: - Relative to the current directory. - A full path. - The name of a buffer with 'buftype' set to "nofile". - A URL name. Unlisted buffers will be found. Note that help files are listed by their short name in the output of \|:buffers\|, but bufexists() requires using their long name to be able to find them. bufexists() may report a buffer exists, but to use the name with a \|:buffer\| command you may need to use \|expand()\|. Esp for MS-Windows 8.3 names in the form "c:\DOCUME~1" Use "bufexists(0)" to test for the existence of an alternate file name. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > let exists = 'somename'->bufexists() < Obsolete name: buffer_exists(). buffer_exists() buflisted({expr}) buflisted() The result is a Number, which is \|TRUE\| if a buffer called {expr} exists and is listed (has the 'buflisted' option set). The {expr} argument is used like with \|bufexists()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > let listed = 'somename'->buflisted() bufload({expr}) bufload() Ensure the buffer {expr} is loaded. When the buffer name refers to an existing file then the file is read. Otherwise the buffer will be empty. If the buffer was already loaded then there is no change. If there is an existing swap file for the file of the buffer, there will be no dialog, the buffer will be loaded anyway. The {expr} argument is used like with \|bufexists()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > eval 'somename'->bufload() bufloaded({expr}) bufloaded() The result is a Number, which is \|TRUE\| if a buffer called {expr} exists and is loaded (shown in a window or hidden). The {expr} argument is used like with \|bufexists()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > let loaded = 'somename'->bufloaded() bufname([{expr}]) bufname() The result is the name of a buffer, as it is displayed by the ":ls" command. If {expr} is omitted the current buffer is used. If {expr} is a Number, that buffer number's name is given. Number zero is the alternate buffer for the current window. If {expr} is a String, it is used as a \|file-pattern\| to match with the buffer names. This is always done like 'magic' is set and 'cpoptions' is empty. When there is more than one match an empty string is returned. "" or "%" can be used for the current buffer, "#" for the alternate buffer. A full match is preferred, otherwise a match at the start, end or middle of the buffer name is accepted. If you only want a full match then put "^" at the start and "$" at the end of the pattern. Listed buffers are found first. If there is a single match with a listed buffer, that one is returned. Next unlisted buffers are searched for. If the {expr} is a String, but you want to use it as a buffer number, force it to be a Number by adding zero to it: > :echo bufname("3" + 0) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > echo bufnr->bufname() < If the buffer doesn't exist, or doesn't have a name, an empty string is returned. > bufname("#") alternate buffer name bufname(3) name of buffer 3 bufname("%") name of current buffer bufname("file2") name of buffer where "file2" matches. < buffer_name() Obsolete name: buffer_name(). bufnr() bufnr([{expr} [, {create}]]) The result is the number of a buffer, as it is displayed by the ":ls" command. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. If the buffer doesn't exist, -1 is returned. Or, if the {create} argument is present and TRUE, a new, unlisted, buffer is created and its number is returned. Example: > let newbuf = bufnr('Scratch001', 1) < Using an empty name uses the current buffer. To create a new buffer with an empty name use \|bufadd()\|. bufnr("$") is the last buffer: > :let last_buffer = bufnr("$") < The result is a Number, which is the highest buffer number of existing buffers. Note that not all buffers with a smaller number necessarily exist, because ":bwipeout" may have removed them. Use bufexists() to test for the existence of a buffer. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > echo bufref->bufnr() < Obsolete name: buffer_number(). buffer_number() last_buffer_nr() Obsolete name for bufnr("$"): last_buffer_nr(). bufwinid({expr}) bufwinid() The result is a Number, which is the \|window-ID\| of the first window associated with buffer {expr}. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. If buffer {expr} doesn't exist or there is no such window, -1 is returned. Example: > echo "A window containing buffer 1 is " . (bufwinid(1)) < Only deals with the current tab page. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > FindBuffer()->bufwinid() bufwinnr({expr}) bufwinnr() Like \|bufwinid()\| but return the window number instead of the \|window-ID\|. If buffer {expr} doesn't exist or there is no such window, -1 is returned. Example: > echo "A window containing buffer 1 is " . (bufwinnr(1)) < The number can be used with \|CTRL-W_w\| and ":wincmd w" \|:wincmd\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > FindBuffer()->bufwinnr() byte2line({byte}) byte2line() Return the line number that contains the character at byte count {byte} in the current buffer. This includes the end-of-line character, depending on the 'fileformat' option for the current buffer. The first character has byte count one. Also see \|line2byte()\|, \|go\| and \|:goto\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetOffset()->byte2line() < {not available when compiled without the \|+byte_offset\| feature} byteidx({expr}, {nr}) byteidx() Return byte index of the {nr}'th character in the string {expr}. Use zero for the first character, it then returns zero. If there are no multibyte characters the returned value is equal to {nr}. Composing characters are not counted separately, their byte length is added to the preceding base character. See \|byteidxcomp()\| below for counting composing characters separately. Example : > echo matchstr(str, ".", byteidx(str, 3)) < will display the fourth character. Another way to do the same: > let s = strpart(str, byteidx(str, 3)) echo strpart(s, 0, byteidx(s, 1)) < Also see \|strgetchar()\| and \|strcharpart()\|. If there are less than {nr} characters -1 is returned. If there are exactly {nr} characters the length of the string in bytes is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->byteidx(idx) byteidxcomp({expr}, {nr}) byteidxcomp() Like byteidx(), except that a composing character is counted as a separate character. Example: > let s = 'e' . nr2char(0x301) echo byteidx(s, 1) echo byteidxcomp(s, 1) echo byteidxcomp(s, 2) < The first and third echo result in 3 ('e' plus composing character is 3 bytes), the second echo results in 1 ('e' is one byte). Only works differently from byteidx() when 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->byteidxcomp(idx) call({func}, {arglist} [, {dict}]) call() E699 Call function {func} with the items in \|List\| {arglist} as arguments. {func} can either be a \|Funcref\| or the name of a function. a:firstline and a:lastline are set to the cursor line. Returns the return value of the called function. {dict} is for functions with the "dict" attribute. It will be used to set the local variable "self". \|Dictionary-function\| Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFunc()->call([arg, arg], dict) ceil({expr}) ceil() Return the smallest integral value greater than or equal to {expr} as a \|Float\| (round up). {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > echo ceil(1.456) < 2.0 > echo ceil(-5.456) < -5.0 > echo ceil(4.0) < 4.0 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->ceil() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} ch_ functions are documented here: \|channel-functions-details\| changenr() changenr() Return the number of the most recent change. This is the same number as what is displayed with \|:undolist\| and can be used with the \|:undo\| command. When a change was made it is the number of that change. After redo it is the number of the redone change. After undo it is one less than the number of the undone change. char2nr({expr} [, {utf8}]) char2nr() Return number value of the first char in {expr}. Examples: > char2nr(" ") returns 32 char2nr("ABC") returns 65 < When {utf8} is omitted or zero, the current 'encoding' is used. Example for "utf-8": > char2nr("á") returns 225 char2nr("á"[0]) returns 195 < With {utf8} set to TRUE, always treat as utf-8 characters. A combining character is a separate character. \|nr2char()\| does the opposite. To turn a string into a list of character numbers: > let str = "ABC" let list = map(split(str, '\zs'), {_, val -> char2nr(val)}) < Result: [65, 66, 67] Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChar()->char2nr() charclass({string}) charclass() Return the character class of the first character in {string}. The character class is one of: 0 blank 1 punctuation 2 word character 3 emoji other specific Unicode class The class is used in patterns and word motions. charcol() charcol({expr}) Same as \|col()\| but returns the character index of the column position given with {expr} instead of the byte position. Example: With the cursor on '세' in line 5 with text "여보세요": > charcol('.') returns 3 col('.') returns 7 < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPos()->col() < charidx() charidx({string}, {idx} [, {countcc}]) Return the character index of the byte at {idx} in {string}. The index of the first character is zero. If there are no multibyte characters the returned value is equal to {idx}. When {countcc} is omitted or zero, then composing characters are not counted separately, their byte length is added to the preceding base character. When {countcc} is set to 1, then composing characters are counted as separate characters. Returns -1 if the arguments are invalid or if {idx} is greater than the index of the last byte in {string}. An error is given if the first argument is not a string, the second argument is not a number or when the third argument is present and is not zero or one. See \|byteidx()\| and \|byteidxcomp()\| for getting the byte index from the character index. Examples: > echo charidx('áb́ć', 3) returns 1 echo charidx('áb́ć', 6, 1) returns 4 echo charidx('áb́ć', 16) returns -1 < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->charidx(idx) chdir({dir}) chdir() Change the current working directory to {dir}. The scope of the directory change depends on the directory of the current window: - If the current window has a window-local directory (\|:lcd\|), then changes the window local directory. - Otherwise, if the current tabpage has a local directory (\|:tcd\|) then changes the tabpage local directory. - Otherwise, changes the global directory. {dir} must be a String. If successful, returns the previous working directory. Pass this to another chdir() to restore the directory. On failure, returns an empty string. Example: > let save_dir = chdir(newdir) if save_dir != "" " ... do some work call chdir(save_dir) endif < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetDir()->chdir() < cindent({lnum}) cindent() Get the amount of indent for line {lnum} according the C indenting rules, as with 'cindent'. The indent is counted in spaces, the value of 'tabstop' is relevant. {lnum} is used just like in \|getline()\|. When {lnum} is invalid or Vim was not compiled the \|+cindent\| feature, -1 is returned. See \|C-indenting\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->cindent() clearmatches([{win}]) clearmatches() Clears all matches previously defined for the current window by \|matchadd()\| and the \|:match\| commands. If {win} is specified, use the window with this number or window ID instead of the current window. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWin()->clearmatches() < col() col({expr}) The result is a Number, which is the byte index of the column position given with {expr}. The accepted positions are: . the cursor position $ the end of the cursor line (the result is the number of bytes in the cursor line plus one) 'x position of mark x (if the mark is not set, 0 is returned) v In Visual mode: the start of the Visual area (the cursor is the end). When not in Visual mode returns the cursor position. Differs from \|'<\| in that it's updated right away. Additionally {expr} can be [lnum, col]: a \|List\| with the line and column number. Most useful when the column is "$", to get the last column of a specific line. When "lnum" or "col" is out of range then col() returns zero. To get the line number use \|line()\|. To get both use \|getpos()\|. For the screen column position use \|virtcol()\|. For the character position use \|charcol()\|. Note that only marks in the current file can be used. Examples: > col(".") column of cursor col("$") length of cursor line plus one col("'t") column of mark t col("'" . markname) column of mark markname < The first column is 1. 0 is returned for an error. For an uppercase mark the column may actually be in another buffer. For the cursor position, when 'virtualedit' is active, the column is one higher if the cursor is after the end of the line. This can be used to obtain the column in Insert mode: > :imap <F2> <C-O>:let save_ve = &ve<CR> \<C-O>:set ve=all<CR> \<C-O>:echo col(".") . "\n" <Bar> \let &ve = save_ve<CR> < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPos()->col() < complete({startcol}, {matches}) complete() E785 Set the matches for Insert mode completion. Can only be used in Insert mode. You need to use a mapping with CTRL-R = (see \|i_CTRL-R\|). It does not work after CTRL-O or with an expression mapping. {startcol} is the byte offset in the line where the completed text start. The text up to the cursor is the original text that will be replaced by the matches. Use col('.') for an empty string. "col('.') - 1" will replace one character by a match. {matches} must be a \|List\|. Each \|List\| item is one match. See \|complete-items\| for the kind of items that are possible. Note that the after calling this function you need to avoid inserting anything that would cause completion to stop. The match can be selected with CTRL-N and CTRL-P as usual with Insert mode completion. The popup menu will appear if specified, see \|ins-completion-menu\|. Example: > inoremap <F5> <C-R>=ListMonths()<CR> func! ListMonths() call complete(col('.'), ['January', 'February', 'March', \ 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', \ 'October', 'November', 'December']) return '' endfunc < This isn't very useful, but it shows how it works. Note that an empty string is returned to avoid a zero being inserted. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetMatches()->complete(col('.')) complete_add({expr}) complete_add() Add {expr} to the list of matches. Only to be used by the function specified with the 'completefunc' option. Returns 0 for failure (empty string or out of memory), 1 when the match was added, 2 when the match was already in the list. See \|complete-functions\| for an explanation of {expr}. It is the same as one item in the list that 'omnifunc' would return. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMoreMatches()->complete_add() complete_check() complete_check() Check for a key typed while looking for completion matches. This is to be used when looking for matches takes some time. Returns \|TRUE\| when searching for matches is to be aborted, zero otherwise. Only to be used by the function specified with the 'completefunc' option. complete_info() complete_info([{what}]) Returns a \|Dictionary\| with information about Insert mode completion. See \|ins-completion\|. The items are: mode Current completion mode name string. See \|complete_info_mode\| for the values. pum_visible \|TRUE\| if popup menu is visible. See \|pumvisible()\|. items List of completion matches. Each item is a dictionary containing the entries "word", "abbr", "menu", "kind", "info" and "user_data". See \|complete-items\|. selected Selected item index. First index is zero. Index is -1 if no item is selected (showing typed text only) inserted Inserted string. [NOT IMPLEMENT YET] complete_info_mode mode values are: "" Not in completion mode "keyword" Keyword completion \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-N\| "ctrl_x" Just pressed CTRL-X \|i_CTRL-X\| "whole_line" Whole lines \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L\| "files" File names \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-F\| "tags" Tags \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-]\| "path_defines" Definition completion \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-D\| "path_patterns" Include completion \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-I\| "dictionary" Dictionary \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K\| "thesaurus" Thesaurus \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-T\| "cmdline" Vim Command line \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-V\| "function" User defined completion \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U\| "omni" Omni completion \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O\| "spell" Spelling suggestions \|i_CTRL-X_s\| "eval" \|complete()\| completion "unknown" Other internal modes If the optional {what} list argument is supplied, then only the items listed in {what} are returned. Unsupported items in {what} are silently ignored. To get the position and size of the popup menu, see \|pum_getpos()\|. It's also available in \|v:event\| during the \|CompleteChanged\| event. Examples: > " Get all items call complete_info() " Get only 'mode' call complete_info(['mode']) " Get only 'mode' and 'pum_visible' call complete_info(['mode', 'pum_visible']) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetItems()->complete_info() < confirm() confirm({msg} [, {choices} [, {default} [, {type}]]]) confirm() offers the user a dialog, from which a choice can be made. It returns the number of the choice. For the first choice this is 1. Note: confirm() is only supported when compiled with dialog support, see \|+dialog_con\| and \|+dialog_gui\|. {msg} is displayed in a \|dialog\| with {choices} as the alternatives. When {choices} is missing or empty, "&OK" is used (and translated). {msg} is a String, use '\n' to include a newline. Only on some systems the string is wrapped when it doesn't fit. {choices} is a String, with the individual choices separated by '\n', e.g. > confirm("Save changes?", "&Yes\n&No\n&Cancel") < The letter after the '&' is the shortcut key for that choice. Thus you can type 'c' to select "Cancel". The shortcut does not need to be the first letter: > confirm("file has been modified", "&Save\nSave &All") < For the console, the first letter of each choice is used as the default shortcut key. Case is ignored. The optional {default} argument is the number of the choice that is made if the user hits <CR>. Use 1 to make the first choice the default one. Use 0 to not set a default. If {default} is omitted, 1 is used. The optional {type} argument gives the type of dialog. This is only used for the icon of the GTK, Mac, Motif and Win32 GUI. It can be one of these values: "Error", "Question", "Info", "Warning" or "Generic". Only the first character is relevant. When {type} is omitted, "Generic" is used. If the user aborts the dialog by pressing <Esc>, CTRL-C, or another valid interrupt key, confirm() returns 0. An example: > :let choice = confirm("What do you want?", "&Apples\n&Oranges\n&Bananas", 2) :if choice == 0 : echo "make up your mind!" :elseif choice == 3 : echo "tasteful" :else : echo "I prefer bananas myself." :endif < In a GUI dialog, buttons are used. The layout of the buttons depends on the 'v' flag in 'guioptions'. If it is included, the buttons are always put vertically. Otherwise, confirm() tries to put the buttons in one horizontal line. If they don't fit, a vertical layout is used anyway. For some systems the horizontal layout is always used. Can also be used as a \|method\|in: > BuildMessage()->confirm("&Yes\n&No") < copy() copy({expr}) Make a copy of {expr}. For Numbers and Strings this isn't different from using {expr} directly. When {expr} is a \|List\| a shallow copy is created. This means that the original \|List\| can be changed without changing the copy, and vice versa. But the items are identical, thus changing an item changes the contents of both \|Lists\|. A \|Dictionary\| is copied in a similar way as a \|List\|. Also see \|deepcopy()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->copy() cos({expr}) cos() Return the cosine of {expr}, measured in radians, as a \|Float\|. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo cos(100) < 0.862319 > :echo cos(-4.01) < -0.646043 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->cos() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} cosh({expr}) cosh() Return the hyperbolic cosine of {expr} as a \|Float\| in the range [1, inf]. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo cosh(0.5) < 1.127626 > :echo cosh(-0.5) < -1.127626 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->cosh() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} count({comp}, {expr} [, {ic} [, {start}]]) count() Return the number of times an item with value {expr} appears in \|String\|, \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| {comp}. If {start} is given then start with the item with this index. {start} can only be used with a \|List\|. When {ic} is given and it's \|TRUE\| then case is ignored. When {comp} is a string then the number of not overlapping occurrences of {expr} is returned. Zero is returned when {expr} is an empty string. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->count(val) < cscope_connection() cscope_connection([{num} , {dbpath} [, {prepend}]]) Checks for the existence of a \|cscope\| connection. If no parameters are specified, then the function returns: 0, if cscope was not available (not compiled in), or if there are no cscope connections; 1, if there is at least one cscope connection. If parameters are specified, then the value of {num} determines how existence of a cscope connection is checked: {num} Description of existence check ----- ------------------------------ 0 Same as no parameters (e.g., "cscope_connection()"). 1 Ignore {prepend}, and use partial string matches for {dbpath}. 2 Ignore {prepend}, and use exact string matches for {dbpath}. 3 Use {prepend}, use partial string matches for both {dbpath} and {prepend}. 4 Use {prepend}, use exact string matches for both {dbpath} and {prepend}. Note: All string comparisons are case sensitive! Examples. Suppose we had the following (from ":cs show"): > # pid database name prepend path 0 27664 cscope.out /usr/local < Invocation Return Val ~ ---------- ---------- > cscope_connection() 1 cscope_connection(1, "out") 1 cscope_connection(2, "out") 0 cscope_connection(3, "out") 0 cscope_connection(3, "out", "local") 1 cscope_connection(4, "out") 0 cscope_connection(4, "out", "local") 0 cscope_connection(4, "cscope.out", "/usr/local") 1 < cursor({lnum}, {col} [, {off}]) cursor() cursor({list}) Positions the cursor at the column (byte count) {col} in the line {lnum}. The first column is one. When there is one argument {list} this is used as a \|List\| with two, three or four item: [{lnum}, {col}] [{lnum}, {col}, {off}] [{lnum}, {col}, {off}, {curswant}] This is like the return value of \|getpos()\| or \|getcurpos()\|, but without the first item. To position the cursor using the character count, use \|setcursorcharpos()\|. Does not change the jumplist. If {lnum} is greater than the number of lines in the buffer, the cursor will be positioned at the last line in the buffer. If {lnum} is zero, the cursor will stay in the current line. If {col} is greater than the number of bytes in the line, the cursor will be positioned at the last character in the line. If {col} is zero, the cursor will stay in the current column. If {curswant} is given it is used to set the preferred column for vertical movement. Otherwise {col} is used. When 'virtualedit' is used {off} specifies the offset in screen columns from the start of the character. E.g., a position within a <Tab> or after the last character. Returns 0 when the position could be set, -1 otherwise. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCursorPos()->cursor() debugbreak({pid}) debugbreak() Specifically used to interrupt a program being debugged. It will cause process {pid} to get a SIGTRAP. Behavior for other processes is undefined. See \|terminal-debugger\|. {only available on MS-Windows} Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPid()->debugbreak() deepcopy({expr} [, {noref}]) deepcopy() E698 Make a copy of {expr}. For Numbers and Strings this isn't different from using {expr} directly. When {expr} is a \|List\| a full copy is created. This means that the original \|List\| can be changed without changing the copy, and vice versa. When an item is a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\|, a copy for it is made, recursively. Thus changing an item in the copy does not change the contents of the original \|List\|. A \|Dictionary\| is copied in a similar way as a \|List\|. When {noref} is omitted or zero a contained \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| is only copied once. All references point to this single copy. With {noref} set to 1 every occurrence of a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| results in a new copy. This also means that a cyclic reference causes deepcopy() to fail. E724 Nesting is possible up to 100 levels. When there is an item that refers back to a higher level making a deep copy with {noref} set to 1 will fail. Also see \|copy()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetObject()->deepcopy() delete({fname} [, {flags}]) delete() Without {flags} or with {flags} empty: Deletes the file by the name {fname}. This also works when {fname} is a symbolic link. When {flags} is "d": Deletes the directory by the name {fname}. This fails when directory {fname} is not empty. When {flags} is "rf": Deletes the directory by the name {fname} and everything in it, recursively. BE CAREFUL! Note: on MS-Windows it is not possible to delete a directory that is being used. A symbolic link itself is deleted, not what it points to. The result is a Number, which is 0/false if the delete operation was successful and -1/true when the deletion failed or partly failed. Use \|remove()\| to delete an item from a \|List\|. To delete a line from the buffer use \|:delete\| or \|deletebufline()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->delete() deletebufline({expr}, {first} [, {last}]) deletebufline() Delete lines {first} to {last} (inclusive) from buffer {expr}. If {last} is omitted then delete line {first} only. On success 0 is returned, on failure 1 is returned. This function works only for loaded buffers. First call \|bufload()\| if needed. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. {first} and {last} are used like with \|getline()\|. Note that when using \|line()\| this refers to the current buffer. Use "$" to refer to the last line in buffer {expr}. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBuffer()->deletebufline(1) < did_filetype() did_filetype() Returns \|TRUE\| when autocommands are being executed and the FileType event has been triggered at least once. Can be used to avoid triggering the FileType event again in the scripts that detect the file type. \|FileType\| Returns \|FALSE\| when `:setf FALLBACK` was used. When editing another file, the counter is reset, thus this really checks if the FileType event has been triggered for the current buffer. This allows an autocommand that starts editing another buffer to set 'filetype' and load a syntax file. diff_filler({lnum}) diff_filler() Returns the number of filler lines above line {lnum}. These are the lines that were inserted at this point in another diff'ed window. These filler lines are shown in the display but don't exist in the buffer. {lnum} is used like with \|getline()\|. Thus "." is the current line, "'m" mark m, etc. Returns 0 if the current window is not in diff mode. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->diff_filler() diff_hlID({lnum}, {col}) diff_hlID() Returns the highlight ID for diff mode at line {lnum} column {col} (byte index). When the current line does not have a diff change zero is returned. {lnum} is used like with \|getline()\|. Thus "." is the current line, "'m" mark m, etc. {col} is 1 for the leftmost column, {lnum} is 1 for the first line. The highlight ID can be used with \|synIDattr()\| to obtain syntax information about the highlighting. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->diff_hlID(col) echoraw({expr}) echoraw() Output {expr} as-is, including unprintable characters. This can be used to output a terminal code. For example, to disable modifyOtherKeys: > call echoraw(&t_TE) < and to enable it again: > call echoraw(&t_TI) < Use with care, you can mess up the terminal this way. empty({expr}) empty() Return the Number 1 if {expr} is empty, zero otherwise. - A \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| is empty when it does not have any items. - A \|String\| is empty when its length is zero. - A \|Number\| and \|Float\| are empty when their value is zero. - \|v:false\|, \|v:none\| and \|v:null\| are empty, \|v:true\| is not. - A \|Job\| is empty when it failed to start. - A \|Channel\| is empty when it is closed. - A \|Blob\| is empty when its length is zero. For a long \|List\| this is much faster than comparing the length with zero. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->empty() environ() environ() Return all of environment variables as dictionary. You can check if an environment variable exists like this: > :echo has_key(environ(), 'HOME') < Note that the variable name may be CamelCase; to ignore case use this: > :echo index(keys(environ()), 'HOME', 0, 1) != -1 escape({string}, {chars}) escape() Escape the characters in {chars} that occur in {string} with a backslash. Example: > :echo escape('c:\program files\vim', ' \') < results in: > c:\\program\ files\\vim < Also see \|shellescape()\| and \|fnameescape()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->escape(' \') < eval() eval({string}) Evaluate {string} and return the result. Especially useful to turn the result of \|string()\| back into the original value. This works for Numbers, Floats, Strings, Blobs and composites of them. Also works for \|Funcref\|s that refer to existing functions. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > argv->join()->eval() eventhandler() eventhandler() Returns 1 when inside an event handler. That is that Vim got interrupted while waiting for the user to type a character, e.g., when dropping a file on Vim. This means interactive commands cannot be used. Otherwise zero is returned. executable({expr}) executable() This function checks if an executable with the name {expr} exists. {expr} must be the name of the program without any arguments. executable() uses the value of $PATH and/or the normal searchpath for programs. PATHEXT On MS-Windows the ".exe", ".bat", etc. can optionally be included. Then the extensions in $PATHEXT are tried. Thus if "foo.exe" does not exist, "foo.exe.bat" can be found. If $PATHEXT is not set then ".com;.exe;.bat;.cmd" is used. A dot by itself can be used in $PATHEXT to try using the name without an extension. When 'shell' looks like a Unix shell, then the name is also tried without adding an extension. On MS-Windows it only checks if the file exists and is not a directory, not if it's really executable. On MS-Windows an executable in the same directory as Vim is always found. Since this directory is added to $PATH it should also work to execute it \|win32-PATH\|. The result is a Number: 1 exists 0 does not exist -1 not implemented on this system \|exepath()\| can be used to get the full path of an executable. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCommand()->executable() execute({command} [, {silent}]) execute() Execute an Ex command or commands and return the output as a string. {command} can be a string or a List. In case of a List the lines are executed one by one. This is equivalent to: > redir => var {command} redir END < The optional {silent} argument can have these values: "" no `:silent` used "silent" `:silent` used "silent!" `:silent!` used The default is "silent". Note that with "silent!", unlike `:redir`, error messages are dropped. When using an external command the screen may be messed up, use `system()` instead. E930 It is not possible to use `:redir` anywhere in {command}. To get a list of lines use \|split()\| on the result: > split(execute('args'), "\n") < To execute a command in another window than the current one use `win_execute()`. When used recursively the output of the recursive call is not included in the output of the higher level call. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCommand()->execute() exepath({expr}) exepath() If {expr} is an executable and is either an absolute path, a relative path or found in $PATH, return the full path. Note that the current directory is used when {expr} starts with "./", which may be a problem for Vim: > echo exepath(v:progpath) < If {expr} cannot be found in $PATH or is not executable then an empty string is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCommand()->exepath() < exists() exists({expr}) The result is a Number, which is \|TRUE\| if {expr} is defined, zero otherwise. For checking for a supported feature use \|has()\|. For checking if a file exists use \|filereadable()\|. The {expr} argument is a string, which contains one of these: &option-name Vim option (only checks if it exists, not if it really works) +option-name Vim option that works. $ENVNAME environment variable (could also be done by comparing with an empty string) funcname built-in function (see \|functions\|) or user defined function (see \|user-functions\|) that is implemented. Also works for a variable that is a Funcref. ?funcname built-in function that could be implemented; to be used to check if "funcname" is valid varname internal variable (see \|internal-variables\|). Also works for \|curly-braces-names\|, \|Dictionary\| entries, \|List\| items, etc. Beware that evaluating an index may cause an error message for an invalid expression. E.g.: > :let l = [1, 2, 3] :echo exists("l[5]") < 0 > :echo exists("l[xx]") < E121: Undefined variable: xx 0 :cmdname Ex command: built-in command, user command or command modifier \|:command\|. Returns: 1 for match with start of a command 2 full match with a command 3 matches several user commands To check for a supported command always check the return value to be 2. :2match The \|:2match\| command. :3match The \|:3match\| command. #event autocommand defined for this event #event#pattern autocommand defined for this event and pattern (the pattern is taken literally and compared to the autocommand patterns character by character) #group autocommand group exists #group#event autocommand defined for this group and event. #group#event#pattern autocommand defined for this group, event and pattern. ##event autocommand for this event is supported. Examples: > exists("&shortname") exists("$HOSTNAME") exists("strftime") exists("s:MyFunc") exists("bufcount") exists(":Make") exists("#CursorHold") exists("#BufReadPre#.gz") exists("#filetypeindent") exists("#filetypeindent#FileType") exists("#filetypeindent#FileType#") exists("##ColorScheme") < There must be no space between the symbol (&/$//#) and the name. There must be no extra characters after the name, although in a few cases this is ignored. That may become more strict in the future, thus don't count on it! Working example: > exists(":make") < NOT working example: > exists(":make install") < Note that the argument must be a string, not the name of the variable itself. For example: > exists(bufcount) < This doesn't check for existence of the "bufcount" variable, but gets the value of "bufcount", and checks if that exists. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Varname()->exists() exp({expr}) exp() Return the exponential of {expr} as a \|Float\| in the range [0, inf]. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo exp(2) < 7.389056 > :echo exp(-1) < 0.367879 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->exp() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} expand({expr} [, {nosuf} [, {list}]]) expand() Expand wildcards and the following special keywords in {expr}. 'wildignorecase' applies. If {list} is given and it is \|TRUE\|, a List will be returned. Otherwise the result is a String and when there are several matches, they are separated by <NL> characters. [Note: in version 5.0 a space was used, which caused problems when a file name contains a space] If the expansion fails, the result is an empty string. A name for a non-existing file is not included, unless {expr} does not start with '%', '#' or '<', see below. When {expr} starts with '%', '#' or '<', the expansion is done like for the \|cmdline-special\| variables with their associated modifiers. Here is a short overview: % current file name # alternate file name #n alternate file name n <cfile> file name under the cursor <afile> autocmd file name <abuf> autocmd buffer number (as a String!) <amatch> autocmd matched name <cexpr> C expression under the cursor <sfile> sourced script file or function name <slnum> sourced script line number or function line number <sflnum> script file line number, also when in a function <SID> "<SNR>123_" where "123" is the current script ID \|<SID>\| <stack> call stack <cword> word under the cursor <cWORD> WORD under the cursor <client> the {clientid} of the last received message \|server2client()\| Modifiers: :p expand to full path :h head (last path component removed) :t tail (last path component only) :r root (one extension removed) :e extension only Example: > :let &tags = expand("%:p:h") . "/tags" < Note that when expanding a string that starts with '%', '#' or '<', any following text is ignored. This does NOT work: > :let doesntwork = expand("%:h.bak") < Use this: > :let doeswork = expand("%:h") . ".bak" < Also note that expanding "<cfile>" and others only returns the referenced file name without further expansion. If "<cfile>" is "~/.cshrc", you need to do another expand() to have the "~/" expanded into the path of the home directory: > :echo expand(expand("<cfile>")) < There cannot be white space between the variables and the following modifier. The \|fnamemodify()\| function can be used to modify normal file names. When using '%' or '#', and the current or alternate file name is not defined, an empty string is used. Using "%:p" in a buffer with no name, results in the current directory, with a '/' added. When {expr} does not start with '%', '#' or '<', it is expanded like a file name is expanded on the command line. 'suffixes' and 'wildignore' are used, unless the optional {nosuf} argument is given and it is \|TRUE\|. Names for non-existing files are included. The "" item can be used to search in a directory tree. For example, to find all "README" files in the current directory and below: > :echo expand("/README") < expand() can also be used to expand variables and environment variables that are only known in a shell. But this can be slow, because a shell may be used to do the expansion. See \|expr-env-expand\|. The expanded variable is still handled like a list of file names. When an environment variable cannot be expanded, it is left unchanged. Thus ":echo expand('$FOOBAR')" results in "$FOOBAR". See \|glob()\| for finding existing files. See \|system()\| for getting the raw output of an external command. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Getpattern()->expand() expandcmd({expr}) expandcmd() Expand special items in {expr} like what is done for an Ex command such as `:edit`. This expands special keywords, like with \|expand()\|, and environment variables, anywhere in {expr}. "~user" and "~/path" are only expanded at the start. Returns the expanded string. Example: > :echo expandcmd('make %<.o') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCommand()->expandcmd() < extend({expr1}, {expr2} [, {expr3}]) extend() {expr1} and {expr2} must be both \|Lists\| or both \|Dictionaries\|. If they are \|Lists\|: Append {expr2} to {expr1}. If {expr3} is given insert the items of {expr2} before the item with index {expr3} in {expr1}. When {expr3} is zero insert before the first item. When {expr3} is equal to len({expr1}) then {expr2} is appended. Examples: > :echo sort(extend(mylist, [7, 5])) :call extend(mylist, [2, 3], 1) < When {expr1} is the same List as {expr2} then the number of items copied is equal to the original length of the List. E.g., when {expr3} is 1 you get N new copies of the first item (where N is the original length of the List). Use \|add()\| to concatenate one item to a list. To concatenate two lists into a new list use the + operator: > :let newlist = [1, 2, 3] + [4, 5] < If they are \|Dictionaries\|: Add all entries from {expr2} to {expr1}. If a key exists in both {expr1} and {expr2} then {expr3} is used to decide what to do: {expr3} = "keep": keep the value of {expr1} {expr3} = "force": use the value of {expr2} {expr3} = "error": give an error message E737 When {expr3} is omitted then "force" is assumed. {expr1} is changed when {expr2} is not empty. If necessary make a copy of {expr1} first. {expr2} remains unchanged. When {expr1} is locked and {expr2} is not empty the operation fails. Returns {expr1}. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->extend(otherlist) extendnew({expr1}, {expr2} [, {expr3}]) extendnew() Like \|extend()\| but instead of adding items to {expr1} a new List or Dictionary is created and returned. {expr1} remains unchanged. Items can still be changed by {expr2}, if you don't want that use \|deepcopy()\| first. feedkeys({string} [, {mode}]) feedkeys() Characters in {string} are queued for processing as if they come from a mapping or were typed by the user. By default the string is added to the end of the typeahead buffer, thus if a mapping is still being executed the characters come after them. Use the 'i' flag to insert before other characters, they will be executed next, before any characters from a mapping. The function does not wait for processing of keys contained in {string}. To include special keys into {string}, use double-quotes and "\..." notation \|expr-quote\|. For example, feedkeys("\<CR>") simulates pressing of the <Enter> key. But feedkeys('\<CR>') pushes 5 characters. A special code that might be useful is <Ignore>, it exits the wait for a character without doing anything. <Ignore> {mode} is a String, which can contain these character flags: 'm' Remap keys. This is default. If {mode} is absent, keys are remapped. 'n' Do not remap keys. 't' Handle keys as if typed; otherwise they are handled as if coming from a mapping. This matters for undo, opening folds, etc. 'L' Lowlevel input. Only works for Unix or when using the GUI. Keys are used as if they were coming from the terminal. Other flags are not used. E980 When a CTRL-C interrupts and 't' is included it sets the internal "got_int" flag. 'i' Insert the string instead of appending (see above). 'x' Execute commands until typeahead is empty. This is similar to using ":normal!". You can call feedkeys() several times without 'x' and then one time with 'x' (possibly with an empty {string}) to execute all the typeahead. Note that when Vim ends in Insert mode it will behave as if <Esc> is typed, to avoid getting stuck, waiting for a character to be typed before the script continues. Note that if you manage to call feedkeys() while executing commands, thus calling it recursively, then all typeahead will be consumed by the last call. '!' When used with 'x' will not end Insert mode. Can be used in a test when a timer is set to exit Insert mode a little later. Useful for testing CursorHoldI. Return value is always 0. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetInput()->feedkeys() filereadable({file}) filereadable() The result is a Number, which is \|TRUE\| when a file with the name {file} exists, and can be read. If {file} doesn't exist, or is a directory, the result is \|FALSE\|. {file} is any expression, which is used as a String. If you don't care about the file being readable you can use \|glob()\|. {file} is used as-is, you may want to expand wildcards first: > echo filereadable('~/.vimrc') 0 echo filereadable(expand('~/.vimrc')) 1 < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->filereadable() < file_readable() Obsolete name: file_readable(). filewritable({file}) filewritable() The result is a Number, which is 1 when a file with the name {file} exists, and can be written. If {file} doesn't exist, or is not writable, the result is 0. If {file} is a directory, and we can write to it, the result is 2. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->filewritable() filter({expr1}, {expr2}) filter() {expr1} must be a \|List\| or a \|Dictionary\|. For each item in {expr1} evaluate {expr2} and when the result is zero remove the item from the \|List\| or \|Dictionary\|. {expr2} must be a \|string\| or \|Funcref\|. If {expr2} is a \|string\|, inside {expr2} \|v:val\| has the value of the current item. For a \|Dictionary\| \|v:key\| has the key of the current item and for a \|List\| \|v:key\| has the index of the current item. Examples: > call filter(mylist, 'v:val !~ "OLD"') < Removes the items where "OLD" appears. > call filter(mydict, 'v:key >= 8') < Removes the items with a key below 8. > call filter(var, 0) < Removes all the items, thus clears the \|List\| or \|Dictionary\|. Note that {expr2} is the result of expression and is then used as an expression again. Often it is good to use a \|literal-string\| to avoid having to double backslashes. If {expr2} is a \|Funcref\| it must take two arguments: 1. the key or the index of the current item. 2. the value of the current item. The function must return \|TRUE\| if the item should be kept. Example that keeps the odd items of a list: > func Odd(idx, val) return a:idx % 2 == 1 endfunc call filter(mylist, function('Odd')) < It is shorter when using a \|lambda\|: > call filter(myList, {idx, val -> idx * val <= 42}) < If you do not use "val" you can leave it out: > call filter(myList, {idx -> idx % 2 == 1}) < The operation is done in-place. If you want a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| to remain unmodified make a copy first: > :let l = filter(copy(mylist), 'v:val =~ "KEEP"') < Returns {expr1}, the \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| that was filtered. When an error is encountered while evaluating {expr2} no further items in {expr1} are processed. When {expr2} is a Funcref errors inside a function are ignored, unless it was defined with the "abort" flag. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->filter(expr2) finddir({name} [, {path} [, {count}]]) finddir() Find directory {name} in {path}. Supports both downwards and upwards recursive directory searches. See \|file-searching\| for the syntax of {path}. Returns the path of the first found match. When the found directory is below the current directory a relative path is returned. Otherwise a full path is returned. If {path} is omitted or empty then 'path' is used. If the optional {count} is given, find {count}'s occurrence of {name} in {path} instead of the first one. When {count} is negative return all the matches in a \|List\|. This is quite similar to the ex-command \|:find\|. {only available when compiled with the \|+file_in_path\| feature} Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->finddir() findfile({name} [, {path} [, {count}]]) findfile() Just like \|finddir()\|, but find a file instead of a directory. Uses 'suffixesadd'. Example: > :echo findfile("tags.vim", ".;") < Searches from the directory of the current file upwards until it finds the file "tags.vim". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->findfile() flatten({list} [, {maxdepth}]) flatten() Flatten {list} up to {maxdepth} levels. Without {maxdepth} the result is a \|List\| without nesting, as if {maxdepth} is a very large number. The {list} is changed in place, use \|flattennew()\| if you do not want that. In Vim9 script flatten() cannot be used, you must always use \|flattennew()\|. E900 {maxdepth} means how deep in nested lists changes are made. {list} is not modified when {maxdepth} is 0. {maxdepth} must be positive number. If there is an error the number zero is returned. Example: > :echo flatten([1, [2, [3, 4]], 5]) < [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] > :echo flatten([1, [2, [3, 4]], 5], 1) < [1, 2, [3, 4], 5] flattennew({list} [, {maxdepth}]) flattennew() Like \|flatten()\| but first make a copy of {list}. float2nr({expr}) float2nr() Convert {expr} to a Number by omitting the part after the decimal point. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a Number. When the value of {expr} is out of range for a \|Number\| the result is truncated to 0x7fffffff or -0x7fffffff (or when 64-bit Number support is enabled, 0x7fffffffffffffff or -0x7fffffffffffffff). NaN results in -0x80000000 (or when 64-bit Number support is enabled, -0x8000000000000000). Examples: > echo float2nr(3.95) < 3 > echo float2nr(-23.45) < -23 > echo float2nr(1.0e100) < 2147483647 (or 9223372036854775807) > echo float2nr(-1.0e150) < -2147483647 (or -9223372036854775807) > echo float2nr(1.0e-100) < 0 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->float2nr() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} floor({expr}) floor() Return the largest integral value less than or equal to {expr} as a \|Float\| (round down). {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > echo floor(1.856) < 1.0 > echo floor(-5.456) < -6.0 > echo floor(4.0) < 4.0 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->floor() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} fmod({expr1}, {expr2}) fmod() Return the remainder of {expr1} / {expr2}, even if the division is not representable. Returns {expr1} - i * {expr2} for some integer i such that if {expr2} is non-zero, the result has the same sign as {expr1} and magnitude less than the magnitude of {expr2}. If {expr2} is zero, the value returned is zero. The value returned is a \|Float\|. {expr1} and {expr2} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo fmod(12.33, 1.22) < 0.13 > :echo fmod(-12.33, 1.22) < -0.13 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->fmod(1.22) < {only available when compiled with \|+float\| feature} fnameescape({string}) fnameescape() Escape {string} for use as file name command argument. All characters that have a special meaning, such as '%' and '\|' are escaped with a backslash. For most systems the characters escaped are " \t\n?[{`$\\%#'\"\|!<". For systems where a backslash appears in a filename, it depends on the value of 'isfname'. A leading '+' and '>' is also escaped (special after \|:edit\| and \|:write\|). And a "-" by itself (special after \|:cd\|). Example: > :let fname = '+some str%nge\|name' :exe "edit " . fnameescape(fname) < results in executing: > edit \+some\ str\%nge\\|name < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->fnameescape() fnamemodify({fname}, {mods}) fnamemodify()* Modify file name {fname} according to {mods}. {mods} is a string of characters like it is used for file names on the command line. See \|filename-modifiers\|. Example: > :echo fnamemodify("main.c", ":p:h") < results in: > /home/mool/vim/vim/src < If {mods} is empty then {fname} is returned. Note: Environment variables don't work in {fname}, use \|expand()\| first then. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->fnamemodify(':p:h') foldclosed({lnum}) foldclosed() The result is a Number. If the line {lnum} is in a closed fold, the result is the number of the first line in that fold. If the line {lnum} is not in a closed fold, -1 is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->foldclosed() foldclosedend({lnum}) foldclosedend() The result is a Number. If the line {lnum} is in a closed fold, the result is the number of the last line in that fold. If the line {lnum} is not in a closed fold, -1 is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->foldclosedend() foldlevel({lnum}) foldlevel() The result is a Number, which is the foldlevel of line {lnum} in the current buffer. For nested folds the deepest level is returned. If there is no fold at line {lnum}, zero is returned. It doesn't matter if the folds are open or closed. When used while updating folds (from 'foldexpr') -1 is returned for lines where folds are still to be updated and the foldlevel is unknown. As a special case the level of the previous line is usually available. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->foldlevel() < foldtext() foldtext() Returns a String, to be displayed for a closed fold. This is the default function used for the 'foldtext' option and should only be called from evaluating 'foldtext'. It uses the \|v:foldstart\|, \|v:foldend\| and \|v:folddashes\| variables. The returned string looks like this: > +-- 45 lines: abcdef < The number of leading dashes depends on the foldlevel. The "45" is the number of lines in the fold. "abcdef" is the text in the first non-blank line of the fold. Leading white space, "//" or "/" and the text from the 'foldmarker' and 'commentstring' options is removed. When used to draw the actual foldtext, the rest of the line will be filled with the fold char from the 'fillchars' setting. {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} foldtextresult({lnum}) foldtextresult()* Returns the text that is displayed for the closed fold at line {lnum}. Evaluates 'foldtext' in the appropriate context. When there is no closed fold at {lnum} an empty string is returned. {lnum} is used like with \|getline()\|. Thus "." is the current line, "'m" mark m, etc. Useful when exporting folded text, e.g., to HTML. {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->foldtextresult() < foreground() foreground() Move the Vim window to the foreground. Useful when sent from a client to a Vim server. \|remote_send()\| On Win32 systems this might not work, the OS does not always allow a window to bring itself to the foreground. Use \|remote_foreground()\| instead. {only in the Win32, Athena, Motif and GTK GUI versions and the Win32 console version} fullcommand({name}) fullcommand() Get the full command name from a short abbreviated command name; see \|20.2\| for details on command abbreviations. {name} may start with a `:` and can include a [range], these are skipped and not returned. Returns an empty string if a command doesn't exist or if it's ambiguous (for user-defined functions). For example `fullcommand('s')`, `fullcommand('sub')`, `fullcommand(':%substitute')` all return "substitute". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->fullcommand() < funcref() funcref({name} [, {arglist}] [, {dict}]) Just like \|function()\|, but the returned Funcref will lookup the function by reference, not by name. This matters when the function {name} is redefined later. Unlike \|function()\|, {name} must be an existing user function. Also for autoloaded functions. {name} cannot be a builtin function. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFuncname()->funcref([arg]) < function() E700 E922 E923 function({name} [, {arglist}] [, {dict}]) Return a \|Funcref\| variable that refers to function {name}. {name} can be the name of a user defined function or an internal function. {name} can also be a Funcref or a partial. When it is a partial the dict stored in it will be used and the {dict} argument is not allowed. E.g.: > let FuncWithArg = function(dict.Func, [arg]) let Broken = function(dict.Func, [arg], dict) < When using the Funcref the function will be found by {name}, also when it was redefined later. Use \|funcref()\| to keep the same function. When {arglist} or {dict} is present this creates a partial. That means the argument list and/or the dictionary is stored in the Funcref and will be used when the Funcref is called. The arguments are passed to the function in front of other arguments, but after any argument from \|method\|. Example: > func Callback(arg1, arg2, name) ... let Partial = function('Callback', ['one', 'two']) ... call Partial('name') < Invokes the function as with: > call Callback('one', 'two', 'name') < With a \|method\|: > func Callback(one, two, three) ... let Partial = function('Callback', ['two']) ... eval 'one'->Partial('three') < Invokes the function as with: > call Callback('one', 'two', 'three') < The function() call can be nested to add more arguments to the Funcref. The extra arguments are appended to the list of arguments. Example: > func Callback(arg1, arg2, name) ... let Func = function('Callback', ['one']) let Func2 = function(Func, ['two']) ... call Func2('name') < Invokes the function as with: > call Callback('one', 'two', 'name') < The Dictionary is only useful when calling a "dict" function. In that case the {dict} is passed in as "self". Example: > function Callback() dict echo "called for " . self.name endfunction ... let context = {"name": "example"} let Func = function('Callback', context) ... call Func() " will echo: called for example < The use of function() is not needed when there are no extra arguments, these two are equivalent: > let Func = function('Callback', context) let Func = context.Callback < The argument list and the Dictionary can be combined: > function Callback(arg1, count) dict ... let context = {"name": "example"} let Func = function('Callback', ['one'], context) ... call Func(500) < Invokes the function as with: > call context.Callback('one', 500) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFuncname()->function([arg]) garbagecollect([{atexit}]) garbagecollect() Cleanup unused \|Lists\|, \|Dictionaries\|, \|Channels\| and \|Jobs\| that have circular references. There is hardly ever a need to invoke this function, as it is automatically done when Vim runs out of memory or is waiting for the user to press a key after 'updatetime'. Items without circular references are always freed when they become unused. This is useful if you have deleted a very big \|List\| and/or \|Dictionary\| with circular references in a script that runs for a long time. When the optional {atexit} argument is one, garbage collection will also be done when exiting Vim, if it wasn't done before. This is useful when checking for memory leaks. The garbage collection is not done immediately but only when it's safe to perform. This is when waiting for the user to type a character. To force garbage collection immediately use \|test_garbagecollect_now()\|. get({list}, {idx} [, {default}]) get() Get item {idx} from \|List\| {list}. When this item is not available return {default}. Return zero when {default} is omitted. Preferably used as a \|method\|: > mylist->get(idx) get({blob}, {idx} [, {default}]) Get byte {idx} from \|Blob\| {blob}. When this byte is not available return {default}. Return -1 when {default} is omitted. Preferably used as a \|method\|: > myblob->get(idx) get({dict}, {key} [, {default}]) Get item with key {key} from \|Dictionary\| {dict}. When this item is not available return {default}. Return zero when {default} is omitted. Useful example: > let val = get(g:, 'var_name', 'default') < This gets the value of g:var_name if it exists, and uses 'default' when it does not exist. Preferably used as a \|method\|: > mydict->get(key) get({func}, {what}) Get an item with from Funcref {func}. Possible values for {what} are: "name" The function name "func" The function "dict" The dictionary "args" The list with arguments Preferably used as a \|method\|: > myfunc->get(what) < getbufinfo() getbufinfo([{expr}]) getbufinfo([{dict}]) Get information about buffers as a List of Dictionaries. Without an argument information about all the buffers is returned. When the argument is a \|Dictionary\| only the buffers matching the specified criteria are returned. The following keys can be specified in {dict}: buflisted include only listed buffers. bufloaded include only loaded buffers. bufmodified include only modified buffers. Otherwise, {expr} specifies a particular buffer to return information for. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. If the buffer is found the returned List has one item. Otherwise the result is an empty list. Each returned List item is a dictionary with the following entries: bufnr Buffer number. changed TRUE if the buffer is modified. changedtick Number of changes made to the buffer. hidden TRUE if the buffer is hidden. lastused Timestamp in seconds, like \|localtime()\|, when the buffer was last used. {only with the \|+viminfo\| feature} listed TRUE if the buffer is listed. lnum Line number used for the buffer when opened in the current window. linecount Number of lines in the buffer (only valid when loaded) loaded TRUE if the buffer is loaded. name Full path to the file in the buffer. signs List of signs placed in the buffer. Each list item is a dictionary with the following fields: id sign identifier lnum line number name sign name variables A reference to the dictionary with buffer-local variables. windows List of \|window-ID\|s that display this buffer popups List of popup \|window-ID\|s that display this buffer Examples: > for buf in getbufinfo() echo buf.name endfor for buf in getbufinfo({'buflisted':1}) if buf.changed .... endif endfor < To get buffer-local options use: > getbufvar({bufnr}, '&option_name') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->getbufinfo() < getbufline() getbufline({expr}, {lnum} [, {end}]) Return a \|List\| with the lines starting from {lnum} to {end} (inclusive) in the buffer {expr}. If {end} is omitted, a \|List\| with only the line {lnum} is returned. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. For {lnum} and {end} "$" can be used for the last line of the buffer. Otherwise a number must be used. When {lnum} is smaller than 1 or bigger than the number of lines in the buffer, an empty \|List\| is returned. When {end} is greater than the number of lines in the buffer, it is treated as {end} is set to the number of lines in the buffer. When {end} is before {lnum} an empty \|List\| is returned. This function works only for loaded buffers. For unloaded and non-existing buffers, an empty \|List\| is returned. Example: > :let lines = getbufline(bufnr("myfile"), 1, "$") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->getbufline(lnum) getbufvar({expr}, {varname} [, {def}]) getbufvar() The result is the value of option or local buffer variable {varname} in buffer {expr}. Note that the name without "b:" must be used. When {varname} is empty returns a \|Dictionary\| with all the buffer-local variables. When {varname} is equal to "&" returns a \|Dictionary\| with all the buffer-local options. Otherwise, when {varname} starts with "&" returns the value of a buffer-local option. This also works for a global or buffer-local option, but it doesn't work for a global variable, window-local variable or window-local option. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. When the buffer or variable doesn't exist {def} or an empty string is returned, there is no error message. Examples: > :let bufmodified = getbufvar(1, "&mod") :echo "todo myvar = " . getbufvar("todo", "myvar") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->getbufvar(varname) < getchangelist([{expr}]) getchangelist() Returns the \|changelist\| for the buffer {expr}. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. If buffer {expr} doesn't exist, an empty list is returned. The returned list contains two entries: a list with the change locations and the current position in the list. Each entry in the change list is a dictionary with the following entries: col column number coladd column offset for 'virtualedit' lnum line number If buffer {expr} is the current buffer, then the current position refers to the position in the list. For other buffers, it is set to the length of the list. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->getchangelist() getchar([expr]) getchar() Get a single character from the user or input stream. If [expr] is omitted, wait until a character is available. If [expr] is 0, only get a character when one is available. Return zero otherwise. If [expr] is 1, only check if a character is available, it is not consumed. Return zero if no character available. Without [expr] and when [expr] is 0 a whole character or special key is returned. If it is a single character, the result is a number. Use nr2char() to convert it to a String. Otherwise a String is returned with the encoded character. For a special key it's a String with a sequence of bytes starting with 0x80 (decimal: 128). This is the same value as the String "\<Key>", e.g., "\<Left>". The returned value is also a String when a modifier (shift, control, alt) was used that is not included in the character. When [expr] is 0 and Esc is typed, there will be a short delay while Vim waits to see if this is the start of an escape sequence. When [expr] is 1 only the first byte is returned. For a one-byte character it is the character itself as a number. Use nr2char() to convert it to a String. Use getcharmod() to obtain any additional modifiers. When the user clicks a mouse button, the mouse event will be returned. The position can then be found in \|v:mouse_col\|, \|v:mouse_lnum\|, \|v:mouse_winid\| and \|v:mouse_win\|. \|getmousepos()\| can also be used. Mouse move events will be ignored. This example positions the mouse as it would normally happen: > let c = getchar() if c == "\<LeftMouse>" && v:mouse_win > 0 exe v:mouse_win . "wincmd w" exe v:mouse_lnum exe "normal " . v:mouse_col . "\|" endif < When using bracketed paste only the first character is returned, the rest of the pasted text is dropped. \|xterm-bracketed-paste\|. There is no prompt, you will somehow have to make clear to the user that a character has to be typed. The screen is not redrawn, e.g. when resizing the window. When using a popup window it should work better with a \|popup-filter\|. There is no mapping for the character. Key codes are replaced, thus when the user presses the <Del> key you get the code for the <Del> key, not the raw character sequence. Examples: > getchar() == "\<Del>" getchar() == "\<S-Left>" < This example redefines "f" to ignore case: > :nmap f :call FindChar()<CR> :function FindChar() : let c = nr2char(getchar()) : while col('.') < col('$') - 1 : normal l : if getline('.')[col('.') - 1] ==? c : break : endif : endwhile :endfunction < You may also receive synthetic characters, such as \|<CursorHold>\|. Often you will want to ignore this and get another character: > :function GetKey() : let c = getchar() : while c == "\<CursorHold>" : let c = getchar() : endwhile : return c :endfunction getcharmod() getcharmod() The result is a Number which is the state of the modifiers for the last obtained character with getchar() or in another way. These values are added together: 2 shift 4 control 8 alt (meta) 16 meta (when it's different from ALT) 32 mouse double click 64 mouse triple click 96 mouse quadruple click (== 32 + 64) 128 command (Macintosh only) Only the modifiers that have not been included in the character itself are obtained. Thus Shift-a results in "A" without a modifier. getcharpos() getcharpos({expr}) Get the position for {expr}. Same as \|getpos()\| but the column number in the returned List is a character index instead of a byte index. If \|getpos()\| returns a very large column number, such as 2147483647, then getcharpos() will return the character index of the last character. Example: With the cursor on '세' in line 5 with text "여보세요": > getcharpos('.') returns [0, 5, 3, 0] getpos('.') returns [0, 5, 7, 0] < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMark()->getcharpos() getcharsearch() getcharsearch() Return the current character search information as a {dict} with the following entries: char character previously used for a character search (\|t\|, \|f\|, \|T\|, or \|F\|); empty string if no character search has been performed forward direction of character search; 1 for forward, 0 for backward until type of character search; 1 for a \|t\| or \|T\| character search, 0 for an \|f\| or \|F\| character search This can be useful to always have \|;\| and \|,\| search forward/backward regardless of the direction of the previous character search: > :nnoremap <expr> ; getcharsearch().forward ? ';' : ',' :nnoremap <expr> , getcharsearch().forward ? ',' : ';' < Also see \|setcharsearch()\|. getcmdline() getcmdline() Return the current command-line. Only works when the command line is being edited, thus requires use of \|c_CTRL-\_e\| or \|c_CTRL-R_=\|. Example: > :cmap <F7> <C-\>eescape(getcmdline(), ' \')<CR> < Also see \|getcmdtype()\|, \|getcmdpos()\| and \|setcmdpos()\|. Returns an empty string when entering a password or using \|inputsecret()\|. getcmdpos() getcmdpos() Return the position of the cursor in the command line as a byte count. The first column is 1. Only works when editing the command line, thus requires use of \|c_CTRL-\_e\| or \|c_CTRL-R_=\| or an expression mapping. Returns 0 otherwise. Also see \|getcmdtype()\|, \|setcmdpos()\| and \|getcmdline()\|. getcmdtype() getcmdtype() Return the current command-line type. Possible return values are: : normal Ex command > debug mode command \|debug-mode\| / forward search command ? backward search command @ \|input()\| command - \|:insert\| or \|:append\| command = \|i_CTRL-R_=\| Only works when editing the command line, thus requires use of \|c_CTRL-\_e\| or \|c_CTRL-R_=\| or an expression mapping. Returns an empty string otherwise. Also see \|getcmdpos()\|, \|setcmdpos()\| and \|getcmdline()\|. getcmdwintype() getcmdwintype() Return the current \|command-line-window\| type. Possible return values are the same as \|getcmdtype()\|. Returns an empty string when not in the command-line window. getcompletion({pat}, {type} [, {filtered}]) getcompletion() Return a list of command-line completion matches. {type} specifies what for. The following completion types are supported: arglist file names in argument list augroup autocmd groups buffer buffer names behave :behave suboptions color color schemes command Ex command (and arguments) cmdline \|cmdline-completion\| result compiler compilers cscope \|:cscope\| suboptions diff_buffer \|:diffget\| and \|:diffput\| completion dir directory names environment environment variable names event autocommand events expression Vim expression file file and directory names file_in_path file and directory names in \|'path'\| filetype filetype names \|'filetype'\| function function name help help subjects highlight highlight groups history :history suboptions locale locale names (as output of locale -a) mapclear buffer argument mapping mapping name menu menus messages \|:messages\| suboptions option options packadd optional package \|pack-add\| names shellcmd Shell command sign \|:sign\| suboptions syntax syntax file names \|'syntax'\| syntime \|:syntime\| suboptions tag tags tag_listfiles tags, file names user user names var user variables If {pat} is an empty string, then all the matches are returned. Otherwise only items matching {pat} are returned. See \|wildcards\| for the use of special characters in {pat}. If the optional {filtered} flag is set to 1, then 'wildignore' is applied to filter the results. Otherwise all the matches are returned. The 'wildignorecase' option always applies. If {type} is "cmdline", then the \|cmdline-completion\| result is returned. For example, to complete the possible values after a ":call" command: > echo getcompletion('call ', 'cmdline') < If there are no matches, an empty list is returned. An invalid value for {type} produces an error. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPattern()->getcompletion('color') < getcurpos() getcurpos([{winid}]) Get the position of the cursor. This is like getpos('.'), but includes an extra "curswant" item in the list: [0, lnum, col, off, curswant] ~ The "curswant" number is the preferred column when moving the cursor vertically. Also see \|getcursorcharpos()\| and \|getpos()\|. The first "bufnum" item is always zero. The byte position of the cursor is returned in 'col'. To get the character position, use \|getcursorcharpos()\|. The optional {winid} argument can specify the window. It can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. The last known cursor position is returned, this may be invalid for the current value of the buffer if it is not the current window. If {winid} is invalid a list with zeroes is returned. This can be used to save and restore the cursor position: > let save_cursor = getcurpos() MoveTheCursorAround call setpos('.', save_cursor) < Note that this only works within the window. See \|winrestview()\| for restoring more state. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->getcurpos() < getcursorcharpos() getcursorcharpos([{winid}]) Same as \|getcurpos()\| but the column number in the returned List is a character index instead of a byte index. Example: With the cursor on '보' in line 3 with text "여보세요": > getcursorcharpos() returns [0, 3, 2, 0, 3] getcurpos() returns [0, 3, 4, 0, 3] < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->getcursorcharpos() < getcwd() getcwd([{winnr} [, {tabnr}]]) The result is a String, which is the name of the current working directory. With {winnr} return the local current directory of this window in the current tab page. {winnr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. If {winnr} is -1 return the name of the global working directory. See also \|haslocaldir()\|. With {winnr} and {tabnr} return the local current directory of the window in the specified tab page. If {winnr} is -1 return the working directory of the tabpage. If {winnr} is zero use the current window, if {tabnr} is zero use the current tabpage. Without any arguments, return the working directory of the current window. Return an empty string if the arguments are invalid. Examples: > " Get the working directory of the current window :echo getcwd() :echo getcwd(0) :echo getcwd(0, 0) " Get the working directory of window 3 in tabpage 2 :echo getcwd(3, 2) " Get the global working directory :echo getcwd(-1) " Get the working directory of tabpage 3 :echo getcwd(-1, 3) " Get the working directory of current tabpage :echo getcwd(-1, 0) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinnr()->getcwd() < getenv({name}) getenv() Return the value of environment variable {name}. When the variable does not exist \|v:null\| is returned. That is different from a variable set to an empty string, although some systems interpret the empty value as the variable being deleted. See also \|expr-env\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetVarname()->getenv() getfontname([{name}]) getfontname() Without an argument returns the name of the normal font being used. Like what is used for the Normal highlight group \|hl-Normal\|. With an argument a check is done whether {name} is a valid font name. If not then an empty string is returned. Otherwise the actual font name is returned, or {name} if the GUI does not support obtaining the real name. Only works when the GUI is running, thus not in your vimrc or gvimrc file. Use the \|GUIEnter\| autocommand to use this function just after the GUI has started. Note that the GTK GUI accepts any font name, thus checking for a valid name does not work. getfperm({fname}) getfperm() The result is a String, which is the read, write, and execute permissions of the given file {fname}. If {fname} does not exist or its directory cannot be read, an empty string is returned. The result is of the form "rwxrwxrwx", where each group of "rwx" flags represent, in turn, the permissions of the owner of the file, the group the file belongs to, and other users. If a user does not have a given permission the flag for this is replaced with the string "-". Examples: > :echo getfperm("/etc/passwd") :echo getfperm(expand("~/.vimrc")) < This will hopefully (from a security point of view) display the string "rw-r--r--" or even "rw-------". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->getfperm() < For setting permissions use \|setfperm()\|. getfsize({fname}) getfsize() The result is a Number, which is the size in bytes of the given file {fname}. If {fname} is a directory, 0 is returned. If the file {fname} can't be found, -1 is returned. If the size of {fname} is too big to fit in a Number then -2 is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->getfsize() getftime({fname}) getftime() The result is a Number, which is the last modification time of the given file {fname}. The value is measured as seconds since 1st Jan 1970, and may be passed to strftime(). See also \|localtime()\| and \|strftime()\|. If the file {fname} can't be found -1 is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->getftime() getftype({fname}) getftype() The result is a String, which is a description of the kind of file of the given file {fname}. If {fname} does not exist an empty string is returned. Here is a table over different kinds of files and their results: Normal file "file" Directory "dir" Symbolic link "link" Block device "bdev" Character device "cdev" Socket "socket" FIFO "fifo" All other "other" Example: > getftype("/home") < Note that a type such as "link" will only be returned on systems that support it. On some systems only "dir" and "file" are returned. On MS-Windows a symbolic link to a directory returns "dir" instead of "link". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->getftype() getimstatus() getimstatus() The result is a Number, which is \|TRUE\| when the IME status is active. See 'imstatusfunc'. getjumplist([{winnr} [, {tabnr}]]) getjumplist() Returns the \|jumplist\| for the specified window. Without arguments use the current window. With {winnr} only use this window in the current tab page. {winnr} can also be a \|window-ID\|. With {winnr} and {tabnr} use the window in the specified tab page. The returned list contains two entries: a list with the jump locations and the last used jump position number in the list. Each entry in the jump location list is a dictionary with the following entries: bufnr buffer number col column number coladd column offset for 'virtualedit' filename filename if available lnum line number Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinnr()->getjumplist() < getline() getline({lnum} [, {end}]) Without {end} the result is a String, which is line {lnum} from the current buffer. Example: > getline(1) < When {lnum} is a String that doesn't start with a digit, \|line()\| is called to translate the String into a Number. To get the line under the cursor: > getline(".") < When {lnum} is smaller than 1 or bigger than the number of lines in the buffer, an empty string is returned. When {end} is given the result is a \|List\| where each item is a line from the current buffer in the range {lnum} to {end}, including line {end}. {end} is used in the same way as {lnum}. Non-existing lines are silently omitted. When {end} is before {lnum} an empty \|List\| is returned. Example: > :let start = line('.') :let end = search("^$") - 1 :let lines = getline(start, end) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > ComputeLnum()->getline() < To get lines from another buffer see \|getbufline()\| getloclist({nr} [, {what}]) getloclist() Returns a \|List\| with all the entries in the location list for window {nr}. {nr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. When {nr} is zero the current window is used. For a location list window, the displayed location list is returned. For an invalid window number {nr}, an empty list is returned. Otherwise, same as \|getqflist()\|. If the optional {what} dictionary argument is supplied, then returns the items listed in {what} as a dictionary. Refer to \|getqflist()\| for the supported items in {what}. In addition to the items supported by \|getqflist()\| in {what}, the following item is supported by \|getloclist()\|: filewinid id of the window used to display files from the location list. This field is applicable only when called from a location list window. See \|location-list-file-window\| for more details. Returns a \|Dictionary\| with default values if there is no location list for the window {nr}. Returns an empty Dictionary if window {nr} does not exist. Examples (See also \|getqflist-examples\|): > :echo getloclist(3, {'all': 0}) :echo getloclist(5, {'filewinid': 0}) getmarklist([{expr}]) getmarklist() Without the {expr} argument returns a \|List\| with information about all the global marks. \|mark\| If the optional {expr} argument is specified, returns the local marks defined in buffer {expr}. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\|. Each item in the returned List is a \|Dict\| with the following: name - name of the mark prefixed by "'" pos - a \|List\| with the position of the mark: [bufnum, lnum, col, off] Refer to \|getpos()\| for more information. file - file name Refer to \|getpos()\| for getting information about a specific mark. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->getmarklist() getmatches([{win}]) getmatches() Returns a \|List\| with all matches previously defined for the current window by \|matchadd()\| and the \|:match\| commands. \|getmatches()\| is useful in combination with \|setmatches()\|, as \|setmatches()\| can restore a list of matches saved by \|getmatches()\|. Example: > :echo getmatches() < [{'group': 'MyGroup1', 'pattern': 'TODO', 'priority': 10, 'id': 1}, {'group': 'MyGroup2', 'pattern': 'FIXME', 'priority': 10, 'id': 2}] > :let m = getmatches() :call clearmatches() :echo getmatches() < [] > :call setmatches(m) :echo getmatches() < [{'group': 'MyGroup1', 'pattern': 'TODO', 'priority': 10, 'id': 1}, {'group': 'MyGroup2', 'pattern': 'FIXME', 'priority': 10, 'id': 2}] > :unlet m < getmousepos() getmousepos() Returns a \|Dictionary\| with the last known position of the mouse. This can be used in a mapping for a mouse click or in a filter of a popup window. The items are: screenrow screen row screencol screen column winid Window ID of the click winrow row inside "winid" wincol column inside "winid" line text line inside "winid" column text column inside "winid" All numbers are 1-based. If not over a window, e.g. when in the command line, then only "screenrow" and "screencol" are valid, the others are zero. When on the status line below a window or the vertical separator right of a window, the "line" and "column" values are zero. When the position is after the text then "column" is the length of the text in bytes. If the mouse is over a popup window then that window is used. When using \|getchar()\| the Vim variables \|v:mouse_lnum\|, \|v:mouse_col\| and \|v:mouse_winid\| also provide these values. getpid() getpid() Return a Number which is the process ID of the Vim process. On Unix and MS-Windows this is a unique number, until Vim exits. getpos() getpos({expr}) Get the position for {expr}. For possible values of {expr} see \|line()\|. For getting the cursor position see \|getcurpos()\|. The result is a \|List\| with four numbers: [bufnum, lnum, col, off] "bufnum" is zero, unless a mark like '0 or 'A is used, then it is the buffer number of the mark. "lnum" and "col" are the position in the buffer. The first column is 1. The "off" number is zero, unless 'virtualedit' is used. Then it is the offset in screen columns from the start of the character. E.g., a position within a <Tab> or after the last character. Note that for '< and '> Visual mode matters: when it is "V" (visual line mode) the column of '< is zero and the column of '> is a large number. The column number in the returned List is the byte position within the line. To get the character position in the line, use \|getcharpos()\| The column number can be very large, e.g. 2147483647, in which case it means "after the end of the line". This can be used to save and restore the position of a mark: > let save_a_mark = getpos("'a") ... call setpos("'a", save_a_mark) < Also see \|getcharpos()\|, \|getcurpos()\| and \|setpos()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMark()->getpos() getqflist([{what}]) getqflist() Returns a \|List\| with all the current quickfix errors. Each list item is a dictionary with these entries: bufnr number of buffer that has the file name, use bufname() to get the name module module name lnum line number in the buffer (first line is 1) col column number (first column is 1) vcol \|TRUE\|: "col" is visual column \|FALSE\|: "col" is byte index nr error number pattern search pattern used to locate the error text description of the error type type of the error, 'E', '1', etc. valid \|TRUE\|: recognized error message When there is no error list or it's empty, an empty list is returned. Quickfix list entries with non-existing buffer number are returned with "bufnr" set to zero. Useful application: Find pattern matches in multiple files and do something with them: > :vimgrep /theword/jg .c :for d in getqflist() : echo bufname(d.bufnr) ':' d.lnum '=' d.text :endfor < If the optional {what} dictionary argument is supplied, then returns only the items listed in {what} as a dictionary. The following string items are supported in {what}: changedtick get the total number of changes made to the list \|quickfix-changedtick\| context get the \|quickfix-context\| efm errorformat to use when parsing "lines". If not present, then the 'errorformat' option value is used. id get information for the quickfix list with \|quickfix-ID\|; zero means the id for the current list or the list specified by "nr" idx get information for the quickfix entry at this index in the list specified by 'id' or 'nr'. If set to zero, then uses the current entry. See \|quickfix-index\| items quickfix list entries lines parse a list of lines using 'efm' and return the resulting entries. Only a \|List\| type is accepted. The current quickfix list is not modified. See \|quickfix-parse\|. nr get information for this quickfix list; zero means the current quickfix list and "$" means the last quickfix list qfbufnr number of the buffer displayed in the quickfix window. Returns 0 if the quickfix buffer is not present. See \|quickfix-buffer\|. size number of entries in the quickfix list title get the list title \|quickfix-title\| winid get the quickfix \|window-ID\| all all of the above quickfix properties Non-string items in {what} are ignored. To get the value of a particular item, set it to zero. If "nr" is not present then the current quickfix list is used. If both "nr" and a non-zero "id" are specified, then the list specified by "id" is used. To get the number of lists in the quickfix stack, set "nr" to "$" in {what}. The "nr" value in the returned dictionary contains the quickfix stack size. When "lines" is specified, all the other items except "efm" are ignored. The returned dictionary contains the entry "items" with the list of entries. The returned dictionary contains the following entries: changedtick total number of changes made to the list \|quickfix-changedtick\| context quickfix list context. See \|quickfix-context\| If not present, set to "". id quickfix list ID \|quickfix-ID\|. If not present, set to 0. idx index of the quickfix entry in the list. If not present, set to 0. items quickfix list entries. If not present, set to an empty list. nr quickfix list number. If not present, set to 0 qfbufnr number of the buffer displayed in the quickfix window. If not present, set to 0. size number of entries in the quickfix list. If not present, set to 0. title quickfix list title text. If not present, set to "". winid quickfix \|window-ID\|. If not present, set to 0 Examples (See also \|getqflist-examples\|): > :echo getqflist({'all': 1}) :echo getqflist({'nr': 2, 'title': 1}) :echo getqflist({'lines' : ["F1:10:L10"]}) < getreg([{regname} [, 1 [, {list}]]]) getreg()* The result is a String, which is the contents of register {regname}. Example: > :let cliptext = getreg('') < When {regname} was not set the result is an empty string. getreg('=') returns the last evaluated value of the expression register. (For use in maps.) getreg('=', 1) returns the expression itself, so that it can be restored with \|setreg()\|. For other registers the extra argument is ignored, thus you can always give it. If {list} is present and \|TRUE\|, the result type is changed to \|List\|. Each list item is one text line. Use it if you care about zero bytes possibly present inside register: without third argument both NLs and zero bytes are represented as NLs (see \|NL-used-for-Nul\|). When the register was not set an empty list is returned. If {regname} is not specified, \|v:register\| is used. In \|Vim9-script\| {regname} must be one character. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRegname()->getreg() getreginfo([{regname}]) getreginfo()* Returns detailed information about register {regname} as a Dictionary with the following entries: regcontents List of lines contained in register {regname}, like \|getreg\|({regname}, 1, 1). regtype the type of register {regname}, as in \|getregtype()\|. isunnamed Boolean flag, v:true if this register is currently pointed to by the unnamed register. points_to for the unnamed register, gives the single letter name of the register currently pointed to (see \|quotequote\|). For example, after deleting a line with `dd`, this field will be "1", which is the register that got the deleted text. If {regname} is invalid or not set, an empty Dictionary will be returned. If {regname} is not specified, \|v:register\| is used. The returned Dictionary can be passed to \|setreg()\|. In \|Vim9-script\| {regname} must be one character. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRegname()->getreginfo() getregtype([{regname}]) getregtype() The result is a String, which is type of register {regname}. The value will be one of: "v" for \|characterwise\| text "V" for \|linewise\| text "<CTRL-V>{width}" for \|blockwise-visual\| text "" for an empty or unknown register <CTRL-V> is one character with value 0x16. If {regname} is not specified, \|v:register\| is used. In \|Vim9-script\| {regname} must be one character. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRegname()->getregtype() gettabinfo([{arg}]) gettabinfo() If {arg} is not specified, then information about all the tab pages is returned as a \|List\|. Each List item is a \|Dictionary\|. Otherwise, {arg} specifies the tab page number and information about that one is returned. If the tab page does not exist an empty List is returned. Each List item is a \|Dictionary\| with the following entries: tabnr tab page number. variables a reference to the dictionary with tabpage-local variables windows List of \|window-ID\|s in the tab page. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTabnr()->gettabinfo() gettabvar({tabnr}, {varname} [, {def}]) gettabvar() Get the value of a tab-local variable {varname} in tab page {tabnr}. \|t:var\| Tabs are numbered starting with one. When {varname} is empty a dictionary with all tab-local variables is returned. Note that the name without "t:" must be used. When the tab or variable doesn't exist {def} or an empty string is returned, there is no error message. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTabnr()->gettabvar(varname) gettabwinvar({tabnr}, {winnr}, {varname} [, {def}]) gettabwinvar() Get the value of window-local variable {varname} in window {winnr} in tab page {tabnr}. When {varname} is empty a dictionary with all window-local variables is returned. When {varname} is equal to "&" get the values of all window-local options in a \|Dictionary\|. Otherwise, when {varname} starts with "&" get the value of a window-local option. Note that {varname} must be the name without "w:". Tabs are numbered starting with one. For the current tabpage use \|getwinvar()\|. {winnr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. When {winnr} is zero the current window is used. This also works for a global option, buffer-local option and window-local option, but it doesn't work for a global variable or buffer-local variable. When the tab, window or variable doesn't exist {def} or an empty string is returned, there is no error message. Examples: > :let list_is_on = gettabwinvar(1, 2, '&list') :echo "myvar = " . gettabwinvar(3, 1, 'myvar') < To obtain all window-local variables use: > gettabwinvar({tabnr}, {winnr}, '&') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTabnr()->gettabwinvar(winnr, varname) gettagstack([{nr}]) gettagstack() The result is a Dict, which is the tag stack of window {nr}. {nr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. When {nr} is not specified, the current window is used. When window {nr} doesn't exist, an empty Dict is returned. The returned dictionary contains the following entries: curidx Current index in the stack. When at top of the stack, set to (length + 1). Index of bottom of the stack is 1. items List of items in the stack. Each item is a dictionary containing the entries described below. length Number of entries in the stack. Each item in the stack is a dictionary with the following entries: bufnr buffer number of the current jump from cursor position before the tag jump. See \|getpos()\| for the format of the returned list. matchnr current matching tag number. Used when multiple matching tags are found for a name. tagname name of the tag See \|tagstack\| for more information about the tag stack. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinnr()->gettagstack() gettext({text}) gettext() Translate {text} if possible. This is mainly for use in the distributed Vim scripts. When generating message translations the {text} is extracted by xgettext, the translator can add the translated message in the .po file and Vim will lookup the translation when gettext() is called. For {text} double quoted strings are preferred, because xgettext does not understand escaping in single quoted strings. getwininfo([{winid}]) getwininfo() Returns information about windows as a \|List\| with Dictionaries. If {winid} is given Information about the window with that ID is returned, as a \|List\| with one item. If the window does not exist the result is an empty list. Without {winid} information about all the windows in all the tab pages is returned. Each List item is a \|Dictionary\| with the following entries: botline last displayed buffer line bufnr number of buffer in the window height window height (excluding winbar) loclist 1 if showing a location list {only with the +quickfix feature} quickfix 1 if quickfix or location list window {only with the +quickfix feature} terminal 1 if a terminal window {only with the +terminal feature} tabnr tab page number topline first displayed buffer line variables a reference to the dictionary with window-local variables width window width winbar 1 if the window has a toolbar, 0 otherwise wincol leftmost screen column of the window, col from \|win_screenpos()\| winid \|window-ID\| winnr window number winrow topmost screen column of the window, row from \|win_screenpos()\| Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinnr()->getwininfo() getwinpos([{timeout}]) getwinpos() The result is a \|List\| with two numbers, the result of \|getwinposx()\| and \|getwinposy()\| combined: [x-pos, y-pos] {timeout} can be used to specify how long to wait in msec for a response from the terminal. When omitted 100 msec is used. Use a longer time for a remote terminal. When using a value less than 10 and no response is received within that time, a previously reported position is returned, if available. This can be used to poll for the position and do some work in the meantime: > while 1 let res = getwinpos(1) if res[0] >= 0 break endif " Do some work here endwhile < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTimeout()->getwinpos() < getwinposx() getwinposx() The result is a Number, which is the X coordinate in pixels of the left hand side of the GUI Vim window. Also works for an xterm (uses a timeout of 100 msec). The result will be -1 if the information is not available. The value can be used with `:winpos`. getwinposy() getwinposy() The result is a Number, which is the Y coordinate in pixels of the top of the GUI Vim window. Also works for an xterm (uses a timeout of 100 msec). The result will be -1 if the information is not available. The value can be used with `:winpos`. getwinvar({winnr}, {varname} [, {def}]) getwinvar() Like \|gettabwinvar()\| for the current tabpage. Examples: > :let list_is_on = getwinvar(2, '&list') :echo "myvar = " . getwinvar(1, 'myvar') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinnr()->getwinvar(varname) < glob({expr} [, {nosuf} [, {list} [, {alllinks}]]]) glob() Expand the file wildcards in {expr}. See \|wildcards\| for the use of special characters. Unless the optional {nosuf} argument is given and is \|TRUE\|, the 'suffixes' and 'wildignore' options apply: Names matching one of the patterns in 'wildignore' will be skipped and 'suffixes' affect the ordering of matches. 'wildignorecase' always applies. When {list} is present and it is \|TRUE\| the result is a \|List\| with all matching files. The advantage of using a List is, you also get filenames containing newlines correctly. Otherwise the result is a String and when there are several matches, they are separated by <NL> characters. If the expansion fails, the result is an empty String or List. You can also use \|readdir()\| if you need to do complicated things, such as limiting the number of matches. A name for a non-existing file is not included. A symbolic link is only included if it points to an existing file. However, when the {alllinks} argument is present and it is \|TRUE\| then all symbolic links are included. For most systems backticks can be used to get files names from any external command. Example: > :let tagfiles = glob("`find . -name tags -print`") :let &tags = substitute(tagfiles, "\n", ",", "g") < The result of the program inside the backticks should be one item per line. Spaces inside an item are allowed. See \|expand()\| for expanding special Vim variables. See \|system()\| for getting the raw output of an external command. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->glob() glob2regpat({expr}) glob2regpat() Convert a file pattern, as used by glob(), into a search pattern. The result can be used to match with a string that is a file name. E.g. > if filename =~ glob2regpat('Make.mak') < This is equivalent to: > if filename =~ '^Make.\.mak$' < When {expr} is an empty string the result is "^$", match an empty string. Note that the result depends on the system. On MS-Windows a backslash usually means a path separator. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->glob2regpat() < globpath() globpath({path}, {expr} [, {nosuf} [, {list} [, {alllinks}]]]) Perform glob() for {expr} on all directories in {path} and concatenate the results. Example: > :echo globpath(&rtp, "syntax/c.vim") < {path} is a comma-separated list of directory names. Each directory name is prepended to {expr} and expanded like with \|glob()\|. A path separator is inserted when needed. To add a comma inside a directory name escape it with a backslash. Note that on MS-Windows a directory may have a trailing backslash, remove it if you put a comma after it. If the expansion fails for one of the directories, there is no error message. Unless the optional {nosuf} argument is given and is \|TRUE\|, the 'suffixes' and 'wildignore' options apply: Names matching one of the patterns in 'wildignore' will be skipped and 'suffixes' affect the ordering of matches. When {list} is present and it is \|TRUE\| the result is a \|List\| with all matching files. The advantage of using a List is, you also get filenames containing newlines correctly. Otherwise the result is a String and when there are several matches, they are separated by <NL> characters. Example: > :echo globpath(&rtp, "syntax/c.vim", 0, 1) < {alllinks} is used as with \|glob()\|. The "" item can be used to search in a directory tree. For example, to find all "README.txt" files in the directories in 'runtimepath' and below: > :echo globpath(&rtp, "/README.txt") < Upwards search and limiting the depth of "*" is not supported, thus using 'path' will not always work properly. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetExpr()->globpath(&rtp) < has()* has({feature} [, {check}]) When {check} is omitted or is zero: The result is a Number, which is 1 if the feature {feature} is supported, zero otherwise. The {feature} argument is a string, case is ignored. See \|feature-list\| below. When {check} is present and not zero: The result is a Number, which is 1 if the feature {feature} could ever be supported, zero otherwise. This is useful to check for a typo in {feature} and to detect dead code. Keep in mind that an older Vim version will not know about a feature added later and features that have been abandoned will not be known by the current Vim version. Also see \|exists()\|. Note that to skip code that has a syntax error when the feature is not available, Vim may skip the rest of the line and miss a following `endif`. Therefore put the `endif` on a separate line: > if has('feature') let x = this->breaks->without->the->feature endif < If the `endif` would be moved to the second line as "\| endif" it would not be found. has_key({dict}, {key}) has_key() The result is a Number, which is TRUE if \|Dictionary\| {dict} has an entry with key {key}. FALSE otherwise. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mydict->has_key(key) haslocaldir([{winnr} [, {tabnr}]]) haslocaldir() The result is a Number: 1 when the window has set a local directory via \|:lcd\| 2 when the tab-page has set a local directory via \|:tcd\| 0 otherwise. Without arguments use the current window. With {winnr} use this window in the current tab page. With {winnr} and {tabnr} use the window in the specified tab page. {winnr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. If {winnr} is -1 it is ignored and only the tabpage is used. Return 0 if the arguments are invalid. Examples: > if haslocaldir() == 1 " window local directory case elseif haslocaldir() == 2 " tab-local directory case else " global directory case endif " current window :echo haslocaldir() :echo haslocaldir(0) :echo haslocaldir(0, 0) " window n in current tab page :echo haslocaldir(n) :echo haslocaldir(n, 0) " window n in tab page m :echo haslocaldir(n, m) " tab page m :echo haslocaldir(-1, m) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinnr()->haslocaldir() hasmapto({what} [, {mode} [, {abbr}]]) hasmapto() The result is a Number, which is TRUE if there is a mapping that contains {what} in somewhere in the rhs (what it is mapped to) and this mapping exists in one of the modes indicated by {mode}. When {abbr} is there and it is \|TRUE\| use abbreviations instead of mappings. Don't forget to specify Insert and/or Command-line mode. Both the global mappings and the mappings local to the current buffer are checked for a match. If no matching mapping is found FALSE is returned. The following characters are recognized in {mode}: n Normal mode v Visual and Select mode x Visual mode s Select mode o Operator-pending mode i Insert mode l Language-Argument ("r", "f", "t", etc.) c Command-line mode When {mode} is omitted, "nvo" is used. This function is useful to check if a mapping already exists to a function in a Vim script. Example: > :if !hasmapto('\ABCdoit') : map <Leader>d \ABCdoit :endif < This installs the mapping to "\ABCdoit" only if there isn't already a mapping to "\ABCdoit". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRHS()->hasmapto() histadd({history}, {item}) histadd() Add the String {item} to the history {history} which can be one of: hist-names "cmd" or ":" command line history "search" or "/" search pattern history "expr" or "=" typed expression history "input" or "@" input line history "debug" or ">" debug command history empty the current or last used history The {history} string does not need to be the whole name, one character is sufficient. If {item} does already exist in the history, it will be shifted to become the newest entry. The result is a Number: TRUE if the operation was successful, otherwise FALSE is returned. Example: > :call histadd("input", strftime("%Y %b %d")) :let date=input("Enter date: ") < This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetHistory()->histadd('search') histdel({history} [, {item}]) histdel() Clear {history}, i.e. delete all its entries. See \|hist-names\| for the possible values of {history}. If the parameter {item} evaluates to a String, it is used as a regular expression. All entries matching that expression will be removed from the history (if there are any). Upper/lowercase must match, unless "\c" is used \|/\c\|. If {item} evaluates to a Number, it will be interpreted as an index, see \|:history-indexing\|. The respective entry will be removed if it exists. The result is TRUE for a successful operation, otherwise FALSE is returned. Examples: Clear expression register history: > :call histdel("expr") < Remove all entries starting with "" from the search history: > :call histdel("/", '^\') < The following three are equivalent: > :call histdel("search", histnr("search")) :call histdel("search", -1) :call histdel("search", '^'.histget("search", -1).'$') < To delete the last search pattern and use the last-but-one for the "n" command and 'hlsearch': > :call histdel("search", -1) :let @/ = histget("search", -1) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetHistory()->histdel() histget({history} [, {index}]) histget() The result is a String, the entry with Number {index} from {history}. See \|hist-names\| for the possible values of {history}, and \|:history-indexing\| for {index}. If there is no such entry, an empty String is returned. When {index} is omitted, the most recent item from the history is used. Examples: Redo the second last search from history. > :execute '/' . histget("search", -2) < Define an Ex command ":H {num}" that supports re-execution of the {num}th entry from the output of \|:history\|. > :command -nargs=1 H execute histget("cmd", 0+<args>) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetHistory()->histget() histnr({history}) histnr() The result is the Number of the current entry in {history}. See \|hist-names\| for the possible values of {history}. If an error occurred, -1 is returned. Example: > :let inp_index = histnr("expr") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetHistory()->histnr() < hlexists({name}) hlexists() The result is a Number, which is TRUE if a highlight group called {name} exists. This is when the group has been defined in some way. Not necessarily when highlighting has been defined for it, it may also have been used for a syntax item. highlight_exists() Obsolete name: highlight_exists(). Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->hlexists() < hlID() hlID({name}) The result is a Number, which is the ID of the highlight group with name {name}. When the highlight group doesn't exist, zero is returned. This can be used to retrieve information about the highlight group. For example, to get the background color of the "Comment" group: > :echo synIDattr(synIDtrans(hlID("Comment")), "bg") < highlightID() Obsolete name: highlightID(). Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->hlID() hostname() hostname() The result is a String, which is the name of the machine on which Vim is currently running. Machine names greater than 256 characters long are truncated. iconv({expr}, {from}, {to}) iconv() The result is a String, which is the text {expr} converted from encoding {from} to encoding {to}. When the conversion completely fails an empty string is returned. When some characters could not be converted they are replaced with "?". The encoding names are whatever the iconv() library function can accept, see ":!man 3 iconv". Most conversions require Vim to be compiled with the \|+iconv\| feature. Otherwise only UTF-8 to latin1 conversion and back can be done. This can be used to display messages with special characters, no matter what 'encoding' is set to. Write the message in UTF-8 and use: > echo iconv(utf8_str, "utf-8", &enc) < Note that Vim uses UTF-8 for all Unicode encodings, conversion from/to UCS-2 is automatically changed to use UTF-8. You cannot use UCS-2 in a string anyway, because of the NUL bytes. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->iconv('latin1', 'utf-8') < indent() indent({lnum}) The result is a Number, which is indent of line {lnum} in the current buffer. The indent is counted in spaces, the value of 'tabstop' is relevant. {lnum} is used just like in \|getline()\|. When {lnum} is invalid -1 is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->indent() index({object}, {expr} [, {start} [, {ic}]]) index() If {object} is a \|List\| return the lowest index where the item has a value equal to {expr}. There is no automatic conversion, so the String "4" is different from the Number 4. And the number 4 is different from the Float 4.0. The value of 'ignorecase' is not used here, case always matters. If {object} is \|Blob\| return the lowest index where the byte value is equal to {expr}. If {start} is given then start looking at the item with index {start} (may be negative for an item relative to the end). When {ic} is given and it is \|TRUE\|, ignore case. Otherwise case must match. -1 is returned when {expr} is not found in {object}. Example: > :let idx = index(words, "the") :if index(numbers, 123) >= 0 < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetObject()->index(what) input({prompt} [, {text} [, {completion}]]) input() The result is a String, which is whatever the user typed on the command-line. The {prompt} argument is either a prompt string, or a blank string (for no prompt). A '\n' can be used in the prompt to start a new line. The highlighting set with \|:echohl\| is used for the prompt. The input is entered just like a command-line, with the same editing commands and mappings. There is a separate history for lines typed for input(). Example: > :if input("Coffee or beer? ") == "beer" : echo "Cheers!" :endif < If the optional {text} argument is present and not empty, this is used for the default reply, as if the user typed this. Example: > :let color = input("Color? ", "white") < The optional {completion} argument specifies the type of completion supported for the input. Without it completion is not performed. The supported completion types are the same as that can be supplied to a user-defined command using the "-complete=" argument. Refer to \|:command-completion\| for more information. Example: > let fname = input("File: ", "", "file") < NOTE: This function must not be used in a startup file, for the versions that only run in GUI mode (e.g., the Win32 GUI). Note: When input() is called from within a mapping it will consume remaining characters from that mapping, because a mapping is handled like the characters were typed. Use \|inputsave()\| before input() and \|inputrestore()\| after input() to avoid that. Another solution is to avoid that further characters follow in the mapping, e.g., by using \|:execute\| or \|:normal\|. Example with a mapping: > :nmap \x :call GetFoo()<CR>:exe "/" . Foo<CR> :function GetFoo() : call inputsave() : let g:Foo = input("enter search pattern: ") : call inputrestore() :endfunction < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPrompt()->input() inputdialog({prompt} [, {text} [, {cancelreturn}]]) inputdialog() Like \|input()\|, but when the GUI is running and text dialogs are supported, a dialog window pops up to input the text. Example: > :let n = inputdialog("value for shiftwidth", shiftwidth()) :if n != "" : let &sw = n :endif < When the dialog is cancelled {cancelreturn} is returned. When omitted an empty string is returned. Hitting <Enter> works like pressing the OK button. Hitting <Esc> works like pressing the Cancel button. NOTE: Command-line completion is not supported. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPrompt()->inputdialog() inputlist({textlist}) inputlist() {textlist} must be a \|List\| of strings. This \|List\| is displayed, one string per line. The user will be prompted to enter a number, which is returned. The user can also select an item by clicking on it with the mouse, if the mouse is enabled in the command line ('mouse' is "a" or includes "c"). For the first string 0 is returned. When clicking above the first item a negative number is returned. When clicking on the prompt one more than the length of {textlist} is returned. Make sure {textlist} has less than 'lines' entries, otherwise it won't work. It's a good idea to put the entry number at the start of the string. And put a prompt in the first item. Example: > let color = inputlist(['Select color:', '1. red', \ '2. green', '3. blue']) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChoices()->inputlist() inputrestore() inputrestore() Restore typeahead that was saved with a previous \|inputsave()\|. Should be called the same number of times inputsave() is called. Calling it more often is harmless though. Returns TRUE when there is nothing to restore, FALSE otherwise. inputsave() inputsave() Preserve typeahead (also from mappings) and clear it, so that a following prompt gets input from the user. Should be followed by a matching inputrestore() after the prompt. Can be used several times, in which case there must be just as many inputrestore() calls. Returns TRUE when out of memory, FALSE otherwise. inputsecret({prompt} [, {text}]) inputsecret() This function acts much like the \|input()\| function with but two exceptions: a) the user's response will be displayed as a sequence of asterisks ("") thereby keeping the entry secret, and b) the user's response will not be recorded on the input \|history\| stack. The result is a String, which is whatever the user actually typed on the command-line in response to the issued prompt. NOTE: Command-line completion is not supported. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPrompt()->inputsecret() insert({object}, {item} [, {idx}]) insert()* When {object} is a \|List\| or a \|Blob\| insert {item} at the start of it. If {idx} is specified insert {item} before the item with index {idx}. If {idx} is zero it goes before the first item, just like omitting {idx}. A negative {idx} is also possible, see \|list-index\|. -1 inserts just before the last item. Returns the resulting \|List\| or \|Blob\|. Examples: > :let mylist = insert([2, 3, 5], 1) :call insert(mylist, 4, -1) :call insert(mylist, 6, len(mylist)) < The last example can be done simpler with \|add()\|. Note that when {item} is a \|List\| it is inserted as a single item. Use \|extend()\| to concatenate \|Lists\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->insert(item) interrupt() interrupt() Interrupt script execution. It works more or less like the user typing CTRL-C, most commands won't execute and control returns to the user. This is useful to abort execution from lower down, e.g. in an autocommand. Example: > :function s:check_typoname(file) : if fnamemodify(a:file, ':t') == '[' : echomsg 'Maybe typo' : call interrupt() : endif :endfunction :au BufWritePre * call s:check_typoname(expand('<amatch>')) invert({expr}) invert() Bitwise invert. The argument is converted to a number. A List, Dict or Float argument causes an error. Example: > :let bits = invert(bits) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > :let bits = bits->invert() isdirectory({directory}) isdirectory() The result is a Number, which is \|TRUE\| when a directory with the name {directory} exists. If {directory} doesn't exist, or isn't a directory, the result is \|FALSE\|. {directory} is any expression, which is used as a String. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->isdirectory() isinf({expr}) isinf() Return 1 if {expr} is a positive infinity, or -1 a negative infinity, otherwise 0. > :echo isinf(1.0 / 0.0) < 1 > :echo isinf(-1.0 / 0.0) < -1 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->isinf() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} islocked({expr}) islocked() E786 The result is a Number, which is \|TRUE\| when {expr} is the name of a locked variable. {expr} must be the name of a variable, \|List\| item or \|Dictionary\| entry, not the variable itself! Example: > :let alist = [0, ['a', 'b'], 2, 3] :lockvar 1 alist :echo islocked('alist') " 1 :echo islocked('alist[1]') " 0 < When {expr} is a variable that does not exist you get an error message. Use \|exists()\| to check for existence. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->islocked() isnan({expr}) isnan() Return \|TRUE\| if {expr} is a float with value NaN. > echo isnan(0.0 / 0.0) < 1 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->isnan() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} items({dict}) items() Return a \|List\| with all the key-value pairs of {dict}. Each \|List\| item is a list with two items: the key of a {dict} entry and the value of this entry. The \|List\| is in arbitrary order. Also see \|keys()\| and \|values()\|. Example: > for [key, value] in items(mydict) echo key . ': ' . value endfor < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mydict->items() job_ functions are documented here: \|job-functions-details\| join({list} [, {sep}]) join() Join the items in {list} together into one String. When {sep} is specified it is put in between the items. If {sep} is omitted a single space is used. Note that {sep} is not added at the end. You might want to add it there too: > let lines = join(mylist, "\n") . "\n" < String items are used as-is. \|Lists\| and \|Dictionaries\| are converted into a string like with \|string()\|. The opposite function is \|split()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->join() js_decode({string}) js_decode() This is similar to \|json_decode()\| with these differences: - Object key names do not have to be in quotes. - Strings can be in single quotes. - Empty items in an array (between two commas) are allowed and result in v:none items. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > ReadObject()->js_decode() js_encode({expr}) js_encode() This is similar to \|json_encode()\| with these differences: - Object key names are not in quotes. - v:none items in an array result in an empty item between commas. For example, the Vim object: [1,v:none,{"one":1},v:none] ~ Will be encoded as: [1,,{one:1},,] ~ While json_encode() would produce: [1,null,{"one":1},null] ~ This encoding is valid for JavaScript. It is more efficient than JSON, especially when using an array with optional items. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetObject()->js_encode() json_decode({string}) json_decode() This parses a JSON formatted string and returns the equivalent in Vim values. See \|json_encode()\| for the relation between JSON and Vim values. The decoding is permissive: - A trailing comma in an array and object is ignored, e.g. "[1, 2, ]" is the same as "[1, 2]". - Integer keys are accepted in objects, e.g. {1:2} is the same as {"1":2}. - More floating point numbers are recognized, e.g. "1." for "1.0", or "001.2" for "1.2". Special floating point values "Infinity", "-Infinity" and "NaN" (capitalization ignored) are accepted. - Leading zeroes in integer numbers are ignored, e.g. "012" for "12" or "-012" for "-12". - Capitalization is ignored in literal names null, true or false, e.g. "NULL" for "null", "True" for "true". - Control characters U+0000 through U+001F which are not escaped in strings are accepted, e.g. " " (tab character in string) for "\t". - An empty JSON expression or made of only spaces is accepted and results in v:none. - Backslash in an invalid 2-character sequence escape is ignored, e.g. "\a" is decoded as "a". - A correct surrogate pair in JSON strings should normally be a 12 character sequence such as "\uD834\uDD1E", but json_decode() silently accepts truncated surrogate pairs such as "\uD834" or "\uD834\u" E938 A duplicate key in an object, valid in rfc7159, is not accepted by json_decode() as the result must be a valid Vim type, e.g. this fails: {"a":"b", "a":"c"} Can also be used as a \|method\|: > ReadObject()->json_decode() json_encode({expr}) json_encode() Encode {expr} as JSON and return this as a string. The encoding is specified in: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159.html Vim values are converted as follows: \|Number\| decimal number \|Float\| floating point number Float nan "NaN" Float inf "Infinity" Float -inf "-Infinity" \|String\| in double quotes (possibly null) \|Funcref\| not possible, error \|List\| as an array (possibly null); when used recursively: [] \|Dict\| as an object (possibly null); when used recursively: {} \|Blob\| as an array of the individual bytes v:false "false" v:true "true" v:none "null" v:null "null" Note that NaN and Infinity are passed on as values. This is missing in the JSON standard, but several implementations do allow it. If not then you will get an error. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetObject()->json_encode() keys({dict}) keys() Return a \|List\| with all the keys of {dict}. The \|List\| is in arbitrary order. Also see \|items()\| and \|values()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mydict->keys() < len() E701 len({expr}) The result is a Number, which is the length of the argument. When {expr} is a String or a Number the length in bytes is used, as with \|strlen()\|. When {expr} is a \|List\| the number of items in the \|List\| is returned. When {expr} is a \|Blob\| the number of bytes is returned. When {expr} is a \|Dictionary\| the number of entries in the \|Dictionary\| is returned. Otherwise an error is given. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->len() < libcall() E364 E368 libcall({libname}, {funcname}, {argument}) Call function {funcname} in the run-time library {libname} with single argument {argument}. This is useful to call functions in a library that you especially made to be used with Vim. Since only one argument is possible, calling standard library functions is rather limited. The result is the String returned by the function. If the function returns NULL, this will appear as an empty string "" to Vim. If the function returns a number, use libcallnr()! If {argument} is a number, it is passed to the function as an int; if {argument} is a string, it is passed as a null-terminated string. This function will fail in \|restricted-mode\|. libcall() allows you to write your own 'plug-in' extensions to Vim without having to recompile the program. It is NOT a means to call system functions! If you try to do so Vim will very probably crash. For Win32, the functions you write must be placed in a DLL and use the normal C calling convention (NOT Pascal which is used in Windows System DLLs). The function must take exactly one parameter, either a character pointer or a long integer, and must return a character pointer or NULL. The character pointer returned must point to memory that will remain valid after the function has returned (e.g. in static data in the DLL). If it points to allocated memory, that memory will leak away. Using a static buffer in the function should work, it's then freed when the DLL is unloaded. WARNING: If the function returns a non-valid pointer, Vim may crash! This also happens if the function returns a number, because Vim thinks it's a pointer. For Win32 systems, {libname} should be the filename of the DLL without the ".DLL" suffix. A full path is only required if the DLL is not in the usual places. For Unix: When compiling your own plugins, remember that the object code must be compiled as position-independent ('PIC'). {only in Win32 and some Unix versions, when the \|+libcall\| feature is present} Examples: > :echo libcall("libc.so", "getenv", "HOME") < Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the third argument: > GetValue()->libcall("libc.so", "getenv") < libcallnr() libcallnr({libname}, {funcname}, {argument}) Just like \|libcall()\|, but used for a function that returns an int instead of a string. {only in Win32 on some Unix versions, when the \|+libcall\| feature is present} Examples: > :echo libcallnr("/usr/lib/libc.so", "getpid", "") :call libcallnr("libc.so", "printf", "Hello World!\n") :call libcallnr("libc.so", "sleep", 10) < Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the third argument: > GetValue()->libcallnr("libc.so", "printf") < line({expr} [, {winid}]) line() The result is a Number, which is the line number of the file position given with {expr}. The accepted positions are: . the cursor position $ the last line in the current buffer 'x position of mark x (if the mark is not set, 0 is returned) w0 first line visible in current window (one if the display isn't updated, e.g. in silent Ex mode) w$ last line visible in current window (this is one less than "w0" if no lines are visible) v In Visual mode: the start of the Visual area (the cursor is the end). When not in Visual mode returns the cursor position. Differs from \|'<\| in that it's updated right away. Note that a mark in another file can be used. The line number then applies to another buffer. To get the column number use \|col()\|. To get both use \|getpos()\|. With the optional {winid} argument the values are obtained for that window instead of the current window. Examples: > line(".") line number of the cursor line(".", winid) idem, in window "winid" line("'t") line number of mark t line("'" . marker) line number of mark marker < To jump to the last known position when opening a file see \|last-position-jump\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetValue()->line() line2byte({lnum}) line2byte() Return the byte count from the start of the buffer for line {lnum}. This includes the end-of-line character, depending on the 'fileformat' option for the current buffer. The first line returns 1. 'encoding' matters, 'fileencoding' is ignored. This can also be used to get the byte count for the line just below the last line: > line2byte(line("$") + 1) < This is the buffer size plus one. If 'fileencoding' is empty it is the file size plus one. When {lnum} is invalid, or the \|+byte_offset\| feature has been disabled at compile time, -1 is returned. Also see \|byte2line()\|, \|go\| and \|:goto\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->line2byte() lispindent({lnum}) lispindent() Get the amount of indent for line {lnum} according the lisp indenting rules, as with 'lisp'. The indent is counted in spaces, the value of 'tabstop' is relevant. {lnum} is used just like in \|getline()\|. When {lnum} is invalid or Vim was not compiled the \|+lispindent\| feature, -1 is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->lispindent() list2str({list} [, {utf8}]) list2str() Convert each number in {list} to a character string can concatenate them all. Examples: > list2str([32]) returns " " list2str([65, 66, 67]) returns "ABC" < The same can be done (slowly) with: > join(map(list, {nr, val -> nr2char(val)}), '') < \|str2list()\| does the opposite. When {utf8} is omitted or zero, the current 'encoding' is used. With {utf8} is 1, always return utf-8 characters. With utf-8 composing characters work as expected: > list2str([97, 769]) returns "á" < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetList()->list2str() listener_add({callback} [, {buf}]) listener_add() Add a callback function that will be invoked when changes have been made to buffer {buf}. {buf} refers to a buffer name or number. For the accepted values, see \|bufname()\|. When {buf} is omitted the current buffer is used. Returns a unique ID that can be passed to \|listener_remove()\|. The {callback} is invoked with five arguments: a:bufnr the buffer that was changed a:start first changed line number a:end first line number below the change a:added number of lines added, negative if lines were deleted a:changes a List of items with details about the changes Example: > func Listener(bufnr, start, end, added, changes) echo 'lines ' .. a:start .. ' until ' .. a:end .. ' changed' endfunc call listener_add('Listener', bufnr) < The List cannot be changed. Each item in a:changes is a dictionary with these entries: lnum the first line number of the change end the first line below the change added number of lines added; negative if lines were deleted col first column in "lnum" that was affected by the change; one if unknown or the whole line was affected; this is a byte index, first character has a value of one. When lines are inserted the values are: lnum line above which the new line is added end equal to "lnum" added number of lines inserted col 1 When lines are deleted the values are: lnum the first deleted line end the line below the first deleted line, before the deletion was done added negative, number of lines deleted col 1 When lines are changed: lnum the first changed line end the line below the last changed line added 0 col first column with a change or 1 The entries are in the order the changes were made, thus the most recent change is at the end. The line numbers are valid when the callback is invoked, but later changes may make them invalid, thus keeping a copy for later might not work. The {callback} is invoked just before the screen is updated, when \|listener_flush()\| is called or when a change is being made that changes the line count in a way it causes a line number in the list of changes to become invalid. The {callback} is invoked with the text locked, see \|textlock\|. If you do need to make changes to the buffer, use a timer to do this later \|timer_start()\|. The {callback} is not invoked when the buffer is first loaded. Use the \|BufReadPost\| autocmd event to handle the initial text of a buffer. The {callback} is also not invoked when the buffer is unloaded, use the \|BufUnload\| autocmd event for that. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetBuffer()->listener_add(callback) listener_flush([{buf}]) listener_flush() Invoke listener callbacks for buffer {buf}. If there are no pending changes then no callbacks are invoked. {buf} refers to a buffer name or number. For the accepted values, see \|bufname()\|. When {buf} is omitted the current buffer is used. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBuffer()->listener_flush() listener_remove({id}) listener_remove() Remove a listener previously added with listener_add(). Returns FALSE when {id} could not be found, TRUE when {id} was removed. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetListenerId()->listener_remove() localtime() localtime() Return the current time, measured as seconds since 1st Jan 1970. See also \|strftime()\|, \|strptime()\| and \|getftime()\|. log({expr}) log() Return the natural logarithm (base e) of {expr} as a \|Float\|. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\| in the range (0, inf]. Examples: > :echo log(10) < 2.302585 > :echo log(exp(5)) < 5.0 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->log() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} log10({expr}) log10() Return the logarithm of Float {expr} to base 10 as a \|Float\|. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo log10(1000) < 3.0 > :echo log10(0.01) < -2.0 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->log10() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} luaeval({expr} [, {expr}]) luaeval() Evaluate Lua expression {expr} and return its result converted to Vim data structures. Second {expr} may hold additional argument accessible as _A inside first {expr}. Strings are returned as they are. Boolean objects are converted to numbers. Numbers are converted to \|Float\| values if vim was compiled with \|+float\| and to numbers otherwise. Dictionaries and lists obtained by vim.eval() are returned as-is. Other objects are returned as zero without any errors. See \|lua-luaeval\| for more details. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->luaeval() < {only available when compiled with the \|+lua\| feature} map({expr1}, {expr2}) map() {expr1} must be a \|List\|, \|Blob\| or \|Dictionary\|. Replace each item in {expr1} with the result of evaluating {expr2}. For a \|Blob\| each byte is replaced. If the item type changes you may want to use \|mapnew()\| to create a new List or Dictionary. This is required when using Vim9 script. {expr2} must be a \|string\| or \|Funcref\|. If {expr2} is a \|string\|, inside {expr2} \|v:val\| has the value of the current item. For a \|Dictionary\| \|v:key\| has the key of the current item and for a \|List\| \|v:key\| has the index of the current item. Example: > :call map(mylist, '"> " . v:val . " <"') < This puts "> " before and " <" after each item in "mylist". Note that {expr2} is the result of an expression and is then used as an expression again. Often it is good to use a \|literal-string\| to avoid having to double backslashes. You still have to double ' quotes If {expr2} is a \|Funcref\| it is called with two arguments: 1. The key or the index of the current item. 2. the value of the current item. The function must return the new value of the item. Example that changes each value by "key-value": > func KeyValue(key, val) return a:key . '-' . a:val endfunc call map(myDict, function('KeyValue')) < It is shorter when using a \|lambda\|: > call map(myDict, {key, val -> key . '-' . val}) < If you do not use "val" you can leave it out: > call map(myDict, {key -> 'item: ' . key}) < If you do not use "key" you can use a short name: > call map(myDict, {_, val -> 'item: ' . val}) < The operation is done in-place. If you want a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| to remain unmodified make a copy first: > :let tlist = map(copy(mylist), ' v:val . "\t"') < Returns {expr1}, the \|List\|, \|Blob\| or \|Dictionary\| that was filtered. When an error is encountered while evaluating {expr2} no further items in {expr1} are processed. When {expr2} is a Funcref errors inside a function are ignored, unless it was defined with the "abort" flag. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->map(expr2) maparg({name} [, {mode} [, {abbr} [, {dict}]]]) maparg() When {dict} is omitted or zero: Return the rhs of mapping {name} in mode {mode}. The returned String has special characters translated like in the output of the ":map" command listing. When there is no mapping for {name}, an empty String is returned. When the mapping for {name} is empty, then "<Nop>" is returned. The {name} can have special key names, like in the ":map" command. {mode} can be one of these strings: "n" Normal "v" Visual (including Select) "o" Operator-pending "i" Insert "c" Cmd-line "s" Select "x" Visual "l" langmap \|language-mapping\| "t" Terminal-Job "" Normal, Visual and Operator-pending When {mode} is omitted, the modes for "" are used. When {abbr} is there and it is \|TRUE\| use abbreviations instead of mappings. When {dict} is there and it is \|TRUE\| return a dictionary containing all the information of the mapping with the following items: "lhs" The {lhs} of the mapping as it would be typed "lhsraw" The {lhs} of the mapping as raw bytes "lhsrawalt" The {lhs} of the mapping as raw bytes, alternate form, only present when it differs from "lhsraw" "rhs" The {rhs} of the mapping as typed. "silent" 1 for a \|:map-silent\| mapping, else 0. "noremap" 1 if the {rhs} of the mapping is not remappable. "script" 1 if mapping was defined with <script>. "expr" 1 for an expression mapping (\|:map-<expr>\|). "buffer" 1 for a buffer local mapping (\|:map-local\|). "mode" Modes for which the mapping is defined. In addition to the modes mentioned above, these characters will be used: " " Normal, Visual and Operator-pending "!" Insert and Commandline mode (\|mapmode-ic\|) "sid" The script local ID, used for <sid> mappings (\|<SID>\|). "lnum" The line number in "sid", zero if unknown. "nowait" Do not wait for other, longer mappings. (\|:map-<nowait>\|). The dictionary can be used to restore a mapping with \|mapset()\|. The mappings local to the current buffer are checked first, then the global mappings. This function can be used to map a key even when it's already mapped, and have it do the original mapping too. Sketch: > exe 'nnoremap <Tab> ==' . maparg('<Tab>', 'n') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetKey()->maparg('n') mapcheck({name} [, {mode} [, {abbr}]]) mapcheck() Check if there is a mapping that matches with {name} in mode {mode}. See \|maparg()\| for {mode} and special names in {name}. When {abbr} is there and it is \|TRUE\| use abbreviations instead of mappings. A match happens with a mapping that starts with {name} and with a mapping which is equal to the start of {name}. matches mapping "a" "ab" "abc" ~ mapcheck("a") yes yes yes mapcheck("abc") yes yes yes mapcheck("ax") yes no no mapcheck("b") no no no The difference with maparg() is that mapcheck() finds a mapping that matches with {name}, while maparg() only finds a mapping for {name} exactly. When there is no mapping that starts with {name}, an empty String is returned. If there is one, the RHS of that mapping is returned. If there are several mappings that start with {name}, the RHS of one of them is returned. This will be "<Nop>" if the RHS is empty. The mappings local to the current buffer are checked first, then the global mappings. This function can be used to check if a mapping can be added without being ambiguous. Example: > :if mapcheck("_vv") == "" : map _vv :set guifont=7x13<CR> :endif < This avoids adding the "_vv" mapping when there already is a mapping for "_v" or for "_vvv". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetKey()->mapcheck('n') mapnew({expr1}, {expr2}) mapnew() Like \|map()\| but instead of replacing items in {expr1} a new List or Dictionary is created and returned. {expr1} remains unchanged. Items can still be changed by {expr2}, if you don't want that use \|deepcopy()\| first. mapset({mode}, {abbr}, {dict}) mapset() Restore a mapping from a dictionary returned by \|maparg()\|. {mode} and {abbr} should be the same as for the call to \|maparg()\|. E460 {mode} is used to define the mode in which the mapping is set, not the "mode" entry in {dict}. Example for saving and restoring a mapping: > let save_map = maparg('K', 'n', 0, 1) nnoremap K somethingelse ... call mapset('n', 0, save_map) < Note that if you are going to replace a map in several modes, e.g. with `:map!`, you need to save the mapping for all of them, since they can differ. match({expr}, {pat} [, {start} [, {count}]]) match() When {expr} is a \|List\| then this returns the index of the first item where {pat} matches. Each item is used as a String, \|Lists\| and \|Dictionaries\| are used as echoed. Otherwise, {expr} is used as a String. The result is a Number, which gives the index (byte offset) in {expr} where {pat} matches. A match at the first character or \|List\| item returns zero. If there is no match -1 is returned. For getting submatches see \|matchlist()\|. Example: > :echo match("testing", "ing") " results in 4 :echo match([1, 'x'], '\a') " results in 1 < See \|string-match\| for how {pat} is used. strpbrk() Vim doesn't have a strpbrk() function. But you can do: > :let sepidx = match(line, '[.,;: \t]') < strcasestr() Vim doesn't have a strcasestr() function. But you can add "\c" to the pattern to ignore case: > :let idx = match(haystack, '\cneedle') < If {start} is given, the search starts from byte index {start} in a String or item {start} in a \|List\|. The result, however, is still the index counted from the first character/item. Example: > :echo match("testing", "ing", 2) < result is again "4". > :echo match("testing", "ing", 4) < result is again "4". > :echo match("testing", "t", 2) < result is "3". For a String, if {start} > 0 then it is like the string starts {start} bytes later, thus "^" will match at {start}. Except when {count} is given, then it's like matches before the {start} byte are ignored (this is a bit complicated to keep it backwards compatible). For a String, if {start} < 0, it will be set to 0. For a list the index is counted from the end. If {start} is out of range ({start} > strlen({expr}) for a String or {start} > len({expr}) for a \|List\|) -1 is returned. When {count} is given use the {count}'th match. When a match is found in a String the search for the next one starts one character further. Thus this example results in 1: > echo match("testing", "..", 0, 2) < In a \|List\| the search continues in the next item. Note that when {count} is added the way {start} works changes, see above. See \|pattern\| for the patterns that are accepted. The 'ignorecase' option is used to set the ignore-caseness of the pattern. 'smartcase' is NOT used. The matching is always done like 'magic' is set and 'cpoptions' is empty. Note that a match at the start is preferred, thus when the pattern is using "" (any number of matches) it tends to find zero matches at the start instead of a number of matches further down in the text. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetList()->match('word') < matchadd()* E798 E799 E801 E957 matchadd({group}, {pattern} [, {priority} [, {id} [, {dict}]]]) Defines a pattern to be highlighted in the current window (a "match"). It will be highlighted with {group}. Returns an identification number (ID), which can be used to delete the match using \|matchdelete()\|. The ID is bound to the window. Matching is case sensitive and magic, unless case sensitivity or magicness are explicitly overridden in {pattern}. The 'magic', 'smartcase' and 'ignorecase' options are not used. The "Conceal" value is special, it causes the match to be concealed. The optional {priority} argument assigns a priority to the match. A match with a high priority will have its highlighting overrule that of a match with a lower priority. A priority is specified as an integer (negative numbers are no exception). If the {priority} argument is not specified, the default priority is 10. The priority of 'hlsearch' is zero, hence all matches with a priority greater than zero will overrule it. Syntax highlighting (see 'syntax') is a separate mechanism, and regardless of the chosen priority a match will always overrule syntax highlighting. The optional {id} argument allows the request for a specific match ID. If a specified ID is already taken, an error message will appear and the match will not be added. An ID is specified as a positive integer (zero excluded). IDs 1, 2 and 3 are reserved for \|:match\|, \|:2match\| and \|:3match\|, respectively. If the {id} argument is not specified or -1, \|matchadd()\| automatically chooses a free ID. The optional {dict} argument allows for further custom values. Currently this is used to specify a match specific conceal character that will be shown for \|hl-Conceal\| highlighted matches. The dict can have the following members: conceal Special character to show instead of the match (only for \|hl-Conceal\| highlighted matches, see \|:syn-cchar\|) window Instead of the current window use the window with this number or window ID. The number of matches is not limited, as it is the case with the \|:match\| commands. Example: > :highlight MyGroup ctermbg=green guibg=green :let m = matchadd("MyGroup", "TODO") < Deletion of the pattern: > :call matchdelete(m) < A list of matches defined by \|matchadd()\| and \|:match\| are available from \|getmatches()\|. All matches can be deleted in one operation by \|clearmatches()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetGroup()->matchadd('TODO') < matchaddpos() matchaddpos({group}, {pos} [, {priority} [, {id} [, {dict}]]]) Same as \|matchadd()\|, but requires a list of positions {pos} instead of a pattern. This command is faster than \|matchadd()\| because it does not require to handle regular expressions and sets buffer line boundaries to redraw screen. It is supposed to be used when fast match additions and deletions are required, for example to highlight matching parentheses. {pos} is a list of positions. Each position can be one of these: - A number. This whole line will be highlighted. The first line has number 1. - A list with one number, e.g., [23]. The whole line with this number will be highlighted. - A list with two numbers, e.g., [23, 11]. The first number is the line number, the second one is the column number (first column is 1, the value must correspond to the byte index as \|col()\| would return). The character at this position will be highlighted. - A list with three numbers, e.g., [23, 11, 3]. As above, but the third number gives the length of the highlight in bytes. The maximum number of positions in {pos} is 8. Example: > :highlight MyGroup ctermbg=green guibg=green :let m = matchaddpos("MyGroup", [[23, 24], 34]) < Deletion of the pattern: > :call matchdelete(m) < Matches added by \|matchaddpos()\| are returned by \|getmatches()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetGroup()->matchaddpos([23, 11]) matcharg({nr}) matcharg() Selects the {nr} match item, as set with a \|:match\|, \|:2match\| or \|:3match\| command. Return a \|List\| with two elements: The name of the highlight group used The pattern used. When {nr} is not 1, 2 or 3 returns an empty \|List\|. When there is no match item set returns ['', '']. This is useful to save and restore a \|:match\|. Highlighting matches using the \|:match\| commands are limited to three matches. \|matchadd()\| does not have this limitation. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMatch()->matcharg() matchdelete({id} [, {win}) matchdelete() E802 E803 Deletes a match with ID {id} previously defined by \|matchadd()\| or one of the \|:match\| commands. Returns 0 if successful, otherwise -1. See example for \|matchadd()\|. All matches can be deleted in one operation by \|clearmatches()\|. If {win} is specified, use the window with this number or window ID instead of the current window. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMatch()->matchdelete() matchend({expr}, {pat} [, {start} [, {count}]]) matchend() Same as \|match()\|, but return the index of first character after the match. Example: > :echo matchend("testing", "ing") < results in "7". strspn() strcspn() Vim doesn't have a strspn() or strcspn() function, but you can do it with matchend(): > :let span = matchend(line, '[a-zA-Z]') :let span = matchend(line, '[^a-zA-Z]') < Except that -1 is returned when there are no matches. The {start}, if given, has the same meaning as for \|match()\|. > :echo matchend("testing", "ing", 2) < results in "7". > :echo matchend("testing", "ing", 5) < result is "-1". When {expr} is a \|List\| the result is equal to \|match()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->matchend('word') matchfuzzy({list}, {str} [, {dict}]) matchfuzzy() If {list} is a list of strings, then returns a \|List\| with all the strings in {list} that fuzzy match {str}. The strings in the returned list are sorted based on the matching score. The optional {dict} argument always supports the following items: matchseq When this item is present and {str} contains multiple words separated by white space, then returns only matches that contain the words in the given sequence. If {list} is a list of dictionaries, then the optional {dict} argument supports the following additional items: key key of the item which is fuzzy matched against {str}. The value of this item should be a string. text_cb \|Funcref\| that will be called for every item in {list} to get the text for fuzzy matching. This should accept a dictionary item as the argument and return the text for that item to use for fuzzy matching. {str} is treated as a literal string and regular expression matching is NOT supported. The maximum supported {str} length is 256. When {str} has multiple words each separated by white space, then the list of strings that have all the words is returned. If there are no matching strings or there is an error, then an empty list is returned. If length of {str} is greater than 256, then returns an empty list. Example: > :echo matchfuzzy(["clay", "crow"], "cay") < results in ["clay"]. > :echo getbufinfo()->map({_, v -> v.name})->matchfuzzy("ndl") < results in a list of buffer names fuzzy matching "ndl". > :echo getbufinfo()->matchfuzzy("ndl", {'key' : 'name'}) < results in a list of buffer information dicts with buffer names fuzzy matching "ndl". > :echo getbufinfo()->matchfuzzy("spl", \ {'text_cb' : {v -> v.name}}) < results in a list of buffer information dicts with buffer names fuzzy matching "spl". > :echo v:oldfiles->matchfuzzy("test") < results in a list of file names fuzzy matching "test". > :let l = readfile("buffer.c")->matchfuzzy("str") < results in a list of lines in "buffer.c" fuzzy matching "str". > :echo ['one two', 'two one']->matchfuzzy('two one') < results in ['two one', 'one two']. > :echo ['one two', 'two one']->matchfuzzy('two one', \ {'matchseq': 1}) < results in ['two one']. matchfuzzypos({list}, {str} [, {dict}]) matchfuzzypos() Same as \|matchfuzzy()\|, but returns the list of matched strings, the list of character positions where characters in {str} matches and a list of matching scores. You can use \|byteidx()\|to convert a character position to a byte position. If {str} matches multiple times in a string, then only the positions for the best match is returned. If there are no matching strings or there is an error, then a list with three empty list items is returned. Example: > :echo matchfuzzypos(['testing'], 'tsg') < results in [['testing'], [[0, 2, 6]], [99]] > :echo matchfuzzypos(['clay', 'lacy'], 'la') < results in [['lacy', 'clay'], [[0, 1], [1, 2]], [153, 133]] > :echo [{'text': 'hello', 'id' : 10}]->matchfuzzypos('ll', {'key' : 'text'}) < results in [[{'id': 10, 'text': 'hello'}], [[2, 3]], [127]] matchlist({expr}, {pat} [, {start} [, {count}]]) matchlist() Same as \|match()\|, but return a \|List\|. The first item in the list is the matched string, same as what matchstr() would return. Following items are submatches, like "\1", "\2", etc. in \|:substitute\|. When an optional submatch didn't match an empty string is used. Example: > echo matchlist('acd', '$a$\?$b$\?$c$\?$.$') < Results in: ['acd', 'a', '', 'c', 'd', '', '', '', '', ''] When there is no match an empty list is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetList()->matchlist('word') matchstr({expr}, {pat} [, {start} [, {count}]]) matchstr()* Same as \|match()\|, but return the matched string. Example: > :echo matchstr("testing", "ing") < results in "ing". When there is no match "" is returned. The {start}, if given, has the same meaning as for \|match()\|. > :echo matchstr("testing", "ing", 2) < results in "ing". > :echo matchstr("testing", "ing", 5) < result is "". When {expr} is a \|List\| then the matching item is returned. The type isn't changed, it's not necessarily a String. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->matchstr('word') matchstrpos({expr}, {pat} [, {start} [, {count}]]) matchstrpos() Same as \|matchstr()\|, but return the matched string, the start position and the end position of the match. Example: > :echo matchstrpos("testing", "ing") < results in ["ing", 4, 7]. When there is no match ["", -1, -1] is returned. The {start}, if given, has the same meaning as for \|match()\|. > :echo matchstrpos("testing", "ing", 2) < results in ["ing", 4, 7]. > :echo matchstrpos("testing", "ing", 5) < result is ["", -1, -1]. When {expr} is a \|List\| then the matching item, the index of first item where {pat} matches, the start position and the end position of the match are returned. > :echo matchstrpos([1, '__x'], '\a') < result is ["x", 1, 2, 3]. The type isn't changed, it's not necessarily a String. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->matchstrpos('word') < max() max({expr}) Return the maximum value of all items in {expr}. Example: > echo max([apples, pears, oranges]) < {expr} can be a \|List\| or a \|Dictionary\|. For a Dictionary, it returns the maximum of all values in the Dictionary. If {expr} is neither a List nor a Dictionary, or one of the items in {expr} cannot be used as a Number this results in an error. An empty \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| results in zero. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->max() menu_info({name} [, {mode}]) menu_info() Return information about the specified menu {name} in mode {mode}. The menu name should be specified without the shortcut character ('&'). {mode} can be one of these strings: "n" Normal "v" Visual (including Select) "o" Operator-pending "i" Insert "c" Cmd-line "s" Select "x" Visual "t" Terminal-Job "" Normal, Visual and Operator-pending "!" Insert and Cmd-line When {mode} is omitted, the modes for "" are used. Returns a \|Dictionary\| containing the following items: accel menu item accelerator text \|menu-text\| display display name (name without '&') enabled v:true if this menu item is enabled Refer to \|:menu-enable\| icon name of the icon file (for toolbar) \|toolbar-icon\| iconidx index of a built-in icon modes modes for which the menu is defined. In addition to the modes mentioned above, these characters will be used: " " Normal, Visual and Operator-pending name menu item name. noremenu v:true if the {rhs} of the menu item is not remappable else v:false. priority menu order priority \|menu-priority\| rhs right-hand-side of the menu item. The returned string has special characters translated like in the output of the ":menu" command listing. When the {rhs} of a menu item is empty, then "<Nop>" is returned. script v:true if script-local remapping of {rhs} is allowed else v:false. See \|:menu-script\|. shortcut shortcut key (character after '&' in the menu name) \|menu-shortcut\| silent v:true if the menu item is created with <silent> argument \|:menu-silent\| submenus \|List\| containing the names of all the submenus. Present only if the menu item has submenus. Returns an empty dictionary if the menu item is not found. Examples: > :echo menu_info('Edit.Cut') :echo menu_info('File.Save', 'n') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMenuName()->menu_info('v') < min() min({expr}) Return the minimum value of all items in {expr}. Example: > echo min([apples, pears, oranges]) < {expr} can be a \|List\| or a \|Dictionary\|. For a Dictionary, it returns the minimum of all values in the Dictionary. If {expr} is neither a List nor a Dictionary, or one of the items in {expr} cannot be used as a Number this results in an error. An empty \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| results in zero. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->min() < mkdir() E739 mkdir({name} [, {path} [, {prot}]]) Create directory {name}. If {path} is "p" then intermediate directories are created as necessary. Otherwise it must be "". If {prot} is given it is used to set the protection bits of the new directory. The default is 0o755 (rwxr-xr-x: r/w for the user, readable for others). Use 0o700 to make it unreadable for others. This is only used for the last part of {name}. Thus if you create /tmp/foo/bar then /tmp/foo will be created with 0o755. Example: > :call mkdir($HOME . "/tmp/foo/bar", "p", 0o700) < This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. There is no error if the directory already exists and the "p" flag is passed (since patch 8.0.1708). However, without the "p" option the call will fail. The function result is a Number, which is TRUE if the call was successful or FALSE if the directory creation failed or partly failed. Not available on all systems. To check use: > :if exists("mkdir") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->mkdir() < mode()* mode([expr]) Return a string that indicates the current mode. If [expr] is supplied and it evaluates to a non-zero Number or a non-empty String (\|non-zero-arg\|), then the full mode is returned, otherwise only the first letter is returned.

Shell or external command is executing t Terminal-Job mode: keys go to the job This is useful in the 'statusline' option or when used with \|remote_expr()\| In most other places it always returns "c" or "n". Note that in the future more modes and more specific modes may be added. It's better not to compare the whole string but only the leading character(s). Also see \|visualmode()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > DoFull()->mode() mzeval({expr}) mzeval() Evaluate MzScheme expression {expr} and return its result converted to Vim data structures. Numbers and strings are returned as they are. Pairs (including lists and improper lists) and vectors are returned as Vim \|Lists\|. Hash tables are represented as Vim \|Dictionary\| type with keys converted to strings. All other types are converted to string with display function. Examples: > :mz (define l (list 1 2 3)) :mz (define h (make-hash)) (hash-set! h "list" l) :echo mzeval("l") :echo mzeval("h") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->mzeval() < {only available when compiled with the \|+mzscheme\| feature} nextnonblank({lnum}) nextnonblank() Return the line number of the first line at or below {lnum} that is not blank. Example: > if getline(nextnonblank(1)) =~ "Java" < When {lnum} is invalid or there is no non-blank line at or below it, zero is returned. See also \|prevnonblank()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->nextnonblank() nr2char({expr} [, {utf8}]) nr2char() Return a string with a single character, which has the number value {expr}. Examples: > nr2char(64) returns "@" nr2char(32) returns " " < When {utf8} is omitted or zero, the current 'encoding' is used. Example for "utf-8": > nr2char(300) returns I with bow character < With {utf8} set to 1, always return utf-8 characters. Note that a NUL character in the file is specified with nr2char(10), because NULs are represented with newline characters. nr2char(0) is a real NUL and terminates the string, thus results in an empty string. To turn a list of character numbers into a string: > let list = [65, 66, 67] let str = join(map(list, {_, val -> nr2char(val)}), '') < Result: "ABC" Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetNumber()->nr2char() or({expr}, {expr}) or() Bitwise OR on the two arguments. The arguments are converted to a number. A List, Dict or Float argument causes an error. Example: > :let bits = or(bits, 0x80) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > :let bits = bits->or(0x80) pathshorten({expr} [, {len}]) pathshorten() Shorten directory names in the path {expr} and return the result. The tail, the file name, is kept as-is. The other components in the path are reduced to {len} letters in length. If {len} is omitted or smaller than 1 then 1 is used (single letters). Leading '~' and '.' characters are kept. Examples: > :echo pathshorten('~/.vim/autoload/myfile.vim') < ~/.v/a/myfile.vim ~ > :echo pathshorten('~/.vim/autoload/myfile.vim', 2) < ~/.vi/au/myfile.vim ~ It doesn't matter if the path exists or not. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetDirectories()->pathshorten() perleval({expr}) perleval() Evaluate Perl expression {expr} in scalar context and return its result converted to Vim data structures. If value can't be converted, it is returned as a string Perl representation. Note: If you want an array or hash, {expr} must return a reference to it. Example: > :echo perleval('[1 .. 4]') < [1, 2, 3, 4] Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->perleval() < {only available when compiled with the \|+perl\| feature} popup_ functions are documented here: \|popup-functions\| pow({x}, {y}) pow() Return the power of {x} to the exponent {y} as a \|Float\|. {x} and {y} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo pow(3, 3) < 27.0 > :echo pow(2, 16) < 65536.0 > :echo pow(32, 0.20) < 2.0 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->pow(3) < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} prevnonblank({lnum}) prevnonblank() Return the line number of the first line at or above {lnum} that is not blank. Example: > let ind = indent(prevnonblank(v:lnum - 1)) < When {lnum} is invalid or there is no non-blank line at or above it, zero is returned. Also see \|nextnonblank()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->prevnonblank() printf({fmt}, {expr1} ...) printf() Return a String with {fmt}, where "%" items are replaced by the formatted form of their respective arguments. Example: > printf("%4d: E%d %.30s", lnum, errno, msg) < May result in: " 99: E42 asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfas" ~ When used as a \|method\| the base is passed as the second argument: > Compute()->printf("result: %d") < Often used items are: %s string %6S string right-aligned in 6 display cells %6s string right-aligned in 6 bytes %.9s string truncated to 9 bytes %c single byte %d decimal number %5d decimal number padded with spaces to 5 characters %x hex number %04x hex number padded with zeros to at least 4 characters %X hex number using upper case letters %o octal number %08b binary number padded with zeros to at least 8 chars %f floating point number as 12.23, inf, -inf or nan %F floating point number as 12.23, INF, -INF or NAN %e floating point number as 1.23e3, inf, -inf or nan %E floating point number as 1.23E3, INF, -INF or NAN %g floating point number, as %f or %e depending on value %G floating point number, as %F or %E depending on value %% the % character itself Conversion specifications start with '%' and end with the conversion type. All other characters are copied unchanged to the result. The "%" starts a conversion specification. The following arguments appear in sequence: % [flags] [field-width] [.precision] type flags Zero or more of the following flags: # The value should be converted to an "alternate form". For c, d, and s conversions, this option has no effect. For o conversions, the precision of the number is increased to force the first character of the output string to a zero (except if a zero value is printed with an explicit precision of zero). For b and B conversions, a non-zero result has the string "0b" (or "0B" for B conversions) prepended to it. For x and X conversions, a non-zero result has the string "0x" (or "0X" for X conversions) prepended to it. 0 (zero) Zero padding. For all conversions the converted value is padded on the left with zeros rather than blanks. If a precision is given with a numeric conversion (d, b, B, o, x, and X), the 0 flag is ignored. - A negative field width flag; the converted value is to be left adjusted on the field boundary. The converted value is padded on the right with blanks, rather than on the left with blanks or zeros. A - overrides a 0 if both are given. ' ' (space) A blank should be left before a positive number produced by a signed conversion (d). + A sign must always be placed before a number produced by a signed conversion. A + overrides a space if both are used. field-width An optional decimal digit string specifying a minimum field width. If the converted value has fewer bytes than the field width, it will be padded with spaces on the left (or right, if the left-adjustment flag has been given) to fill out the field width. .precision An optional precision, in the form of a period '.' followed by an optional digit string. If the digit string is omitted, the precision is taken as zero. This gives the minimum number of digits to appear for d, o, x, and X conversions, or the maximum number of bytes to be printed from a string for s conversions. For floating point it is the number of digits after the decimal point. type A character that specifies the type of conversion to be applied, see below. A field width or precision, or both, may be indicated by an asterisk '' instead of a digit string. In this case, a Number argument supplies the field width or precision. A negative field width is treated as a left adjustment flag followed by a positive field width; a negative precision is treated as though it were missing. Example: > :echo printf("%d: %.s", nr, width, line) < This limits the length of the text used from "line" to "width" bytes. The conversion specifiers and their meanings are: printf-d printf-b printf-B printf-o printf-x printf-X dbBoxX The Number argument is converted to signed decimal (d), unsigned binary (b and B), unsigned octal (o), or unsigned hexadecimal (x and X) notation. The letters "abcdef" are used for x conversions; the letters "ABCDEF" are used for X conversions. The precision, if any, gives the minimum number of digits that must appear; if the converted value requires fewer digits, it is padded on the left with zeros. In no case does a non-existent or small field width cause truncation of a numeric field; if the result of a conversion is wider than the field width, the field is expanded to contain the conversion result. The 'h' modifier indicates the argument is 16 bits. The 'l' modifier indicates the argument is 32 bits. The 'L' modifier indicates the argument is 64 bits. Generally, these modifiers are not useful. They are ignored when type is known from the argument. i alias for d D alias for ld U alias for lu O alias for lo printf-c c The Number argument is converted to a byte, and the resulting character is written. printf-s s The text of the String argument is used. If a precision is specified, no more bytes than the number specified are used. If the argument is not a String type, it is automatically converted to text with the same format as ":echo". printf-S S The text of the String argument is used. If a precision is specified, no more display cells than the number specified are used. printf-f E807 f F The Float argument is converted into a string of the form 123.456. The precision specifies the number of digits after the decimal point. When the precision is zero the decimal point is omitted. When the precision is not specified 6 is used. A really big number (out of range or dividing by zero) results in "inf" or "-inf" with %f (INF or -INF with %F). "0.0 / 0.0" results in "nan" with %f (NAN with %F). Example: > echo printf("%.2f", 12.115) < 12.12 Note that roundoff depends on the system libraries. Use \|round()\| when in doubt. printf-e printf-E e E The Float argument is converted into a string of the form 1.234e+03 or 1.234E+03 when using 'E'. The precision specifies the number of digits after the decimal point, like with 'f'. printf-g printf-G g G The Float argument is converted like with 'f' if the value is between 0.001 (inclusive) and 10000000.0 (exclusive). Otherwise 'e' is used for 'g' and 'E' for 'G'. When no precision is specified superfluous zeroes and '+' signs are removed, except for the zero immediately after the decimal point. Thus 10000000.0 results in 1.0e7. printf-% % A '%' is written. No argument is converted. The complete conversion specification is "%%". When a Number argument is expected a String argument is also accepted and automatically converted. When a Float or String argument is expected a Number argument is also accepted and automatically converted. Any other argument type results in an error message. E766 E767 The number of {exprN} arguments must exactly match the number of "%" items. If there are not sufficient or too many arguments an error is given. Up to 18 arguments can be used. prompt_getprompt({buf}) prompt_getprompt() Returns the effective prompt text for buffer {buf}. {buf} can be a buffer name or number. See \|prompt-buffer\|. If the buffer doesn't exist or isn't a prompt buffer, an empty string is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBuffer()->prompt_getprompt() prompt_setcallback({buf}, {expr}) prompt_setcallback() Set prompt callback for buffer {buf} to {expr}. When {expr} is an empty string the callback is removed. This has only effect if {buf} has 'buftype' set to "prompt". The callback is invoked when pressing Enter. The current buffer will always be the prompt buffer. A new line for a prompt is added before invoking the callback, thus the prompt for which the callback was invoked will be in the last but one line. If the callback wants to add text to the buffer, it must insert it above the last line, since that is where the current prompt is. This can also be done asynchronously. The callback is invoked with one argument, which is the text that was entered at the prompt. This can be an empty string if the user only typed Enter. Example: > call prompt_setcallback(bufnr(), function('s:TextEntered')) func s:TextEntered(text) if a:text == 'exit' \|\| a:text == 'quit' stopinsert close else call append(line('$') - 1, 'Entered: "' . a:text . '"') " Reset 'modified' to allow the buffer to be closed. set nomodified endif endfunc < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBuffer()->prompt_setcallback(callback) prompt_setinterrupt({buf}, {expr}) prompt_setinterrupt() Set a callback for buffer {buf} to {expr}. When {expr} is an empty string the callback is removed. This has only effect if {buf} has 'buftype' set to "prompt". This callback will be invoked when pressing CTRL-C in Insert mode. Without setting a callback Vim will exit Insert mode, as in any buffer. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBuffer()->prompt_setinterrupt(callback) prompt_setprompt({buf}, {text}) prompt_setprompt() Set prompt for buffer {buf} to {text}. You most likely want {text} to end in a space. The result is only visible if {buf} has 'buftype' set to "prompt". Example: > call prompt_setprompt(bufnr(), 'command: ') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBuffer()->prompt_setprompt('command: ') prop_ functions are documented here: \|text-prop-functions\| pum_getpos() pum_getpos() If the popup menu (see \|ins-completion-menu\|) is not visible, returns an empty \|Dictionary\|, otherwise, returns a \|Dictionary\| with the following keys: height nr of items visible width screen cells row top screen row (0 first row) col leftmost screen column (0 first col) size total nr of items scrollbar \|TRUE\| if scrollbar is visible The values are the same as in \|v:event\| during \|CompleteChanged\|. pumvisible() pumvisible() Returns non-zero when the popup menu is visible, zero otherwise. See \|ins-completion-menu\|. This can be used to avoid some things that would remove the popup menu. py3eval({expr}) py3eval() Evaluate Python expression {expr} and return its result converted to Vim data structures. Numbers and strings are returned as they are (strings are copied though, Unicode strings are additionally converted to 'encoding'). Lists are represented as Vim \|List\| type. Dictionaries are represented as Vim \|Dictionary\| type with keys converted to strings. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->py3eval() < {only available when compiled with the \|+python3\| feature} E858 E859 pyeval({expr}) pyeval() Evaluate Python expression {expr} and return its result converted to Vim data structures. Numbers and strings are returned as they are (strings are copied though). Lists are represented as Vim \|List\| type. Dictionaries are represented as Vim \|Dictionary\| type, non-string keys result in error. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->pyeval() < {only available when compiled with the \|+python\| feature} pyxeval({expr}) pyxeval() Evaluate Python expression {expr} and return its result converted to Vim data structures. Uses Python 2 or 3, see \|python_x\| and 'pyxversion'. See also: \|pyeval()\|, \|py3eval()\| Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->pyxeval() < {only available when compiled with the \|+python\| or the \|+python3\| feature} E726 E727 range({expr} [, {max} [, {stride}]]) range() Returns a \|List\| with Numbers: - If only {expr} is specified: [0, 1, ..., {expr} - 1] - If {max} is specified: [{expr}, {expr} + 1, ..., {max}] - If {stride} is specified: [{expr}, {expr} + {stride}, ..., {max}] (increasing {expr} with {stride} each time, not producing a value past {max}). When the maximum is one before the start the result is an empty list. When the maximum is more than one before the start this is an error. Examples: > range(4) " [0, 1, 2, 3] range(2, 4) " [2, 3, 4] range(2, 9, 3) " [2, 5, 8] range(2, -2, -1) " [2, 1, 0, -1, -2] range(0) " [] range(2, 0) " error! < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetExpr()->range() < rand([{expr}]) rand() random Return a pseudo-random Number generated with an xoshiro128** algorithm using seed {expr}. The returned number is 32 bits, also on 64 bits systems, for consistency. {expr} can be initialized by \|srand()\| and will be updated by rand(). If {expr} is omitted, an internal seed value is used and updated. Examples: > :echo rand() :let seed = srand() :echo rand(seed) :echo rand(seed) % 16 " random number 0 - 15 < readblob({fname}) readblob() Read file {fname} in binary mode and return a \|Blob\|. When the file can't be opened an error message is given and the result is an empty \|Blob\|. Also see \|readfile()\| and \|writefile()\|. readdir({directory} [, {expr} [, {dict}]]) readdir() Return a list with file and directory names in {directory}. You can also use \|glob()\| if you don't need to do complicated things, such as limiting the number of matches. The list will be sorted (case sensitive), see the {dict} argument below for changing the sort order. When {expr} is omitted all entries are included. When {expr} is given, it is evaluated to check what to do: If {expr} results in -1 then no further entries will be handled. If {expr} results in 0 then this entry will not be added to the list. If {expr} results in 1 then this entry will be added to the list. The entries "." and ".." are always excluded. Each time {expr} is evaluated \|v:val\| is set to the entry name. When {expr} is a function the name is passed as the argument. For example, to get a list of files ending in ".txt": > readdir(dirname, {n -> n =~ '.txt$'}) < To skip hidden and backup files: > readdir(dirname, {n -> n !~ '^\.\\|\~$'}) < The optional {dict} argument allows for further custom values. Currently this is used to specify if and how sorting should be performed. The dict can have the following members: sort How to sort the result returned from the system. Valid values are: "none" do not sort (fastest method) "case" sort case sensitive (byte value of each character, technically, using strcmp()) (default) "icase" sort case insensitive (technically using strcasecmp()) "collate" sort using the collation order of the "POSIX" or "C" \|locale\| (technically using strcoll()) Other values are silently ignored. For example, to get a list of all files in the current directory without sorting the individual entries: > readdir('.', '1', #{sort: 'none'}) < If you want to get a directory tree: > function! s:tree(dir) return {a:dir : map(readdir(a:dir), \ {_, x -> isdirectory(x) ? \ {x : s:tree(a:dir . '/' . x)} : x})} endfunction echo s:tree(".") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetDirName()->readdir() < readdirex({directory} [, {expr} [, {dict}]]) readdirex() Extended version of \|readdir()\|. Return a list of Dictionaries with file and directory information in {directory}. This is useful if you want to get the attributes of file and directory at the same time as getting a list of a directory. This is much faster than calling \|readdir()\| then calling \|getfperm()\|, \|getfsize()\|, \|getftime()\| and \|getftype()\| for each file and directory especially on MS-Windows. The list will by default be sorted by name (case sensitive), the sorting can be changed by using the optional {dict} argument, see \|readdir()\|. The Dictionary for file and directory information has the following items: group Group name of the entry. (Only on Unix) name Name of the entry. perm Permissions of the entry. See \|getfperm()\|. size Size of the entry. See \|getfsize()\|. time Timestamp of the entry. See \|getftime()\|. type Type of the entry. On Unix, almost same as \|getftype()\| except: Symlink to a dir "linkd" Other symlink "link" On MS-Windows: Normal file "file" Directory "dir" Junction "junction" Symlink to a dir "linkd" Other symlink "link" Other reparse point "reparse" user User name of the entry's owner. (Only on Unix) On Unix, if the entry is a symlink, the Dictionary includes the information of the target (except the "type" item). On MS-Windows, it includes the information of the symlink itself because of performance reasons. When {expr} is omitted all entries are included. When {expr} is given, it is evaluated to check what to do: If {expr} results in -1 then no further entries will be handled. If {expr} results in 0 then this entry will not be added to the list. If {expr} results in 1 then this entry will be added to the list. The entries "." and ".." are always excluded. Each time {expr} is evaluated \|v:val\| is set to a \|Dictionary\| of the entry. When {expr} is a function the entry is passed as the argument. For example, to get a list of files ending in ".txt": > readdirex(dirname, {e -> e.name =~ '.txt$'}) < For example, to get a list of all files in the current directory without sorting the individual entries: > readdirex(dirname, '1', #{sort: 'none'}) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetDirName()->readdirex() < readfile() readfile({fname} [, {type} [, {max}]]) Read file {fname} and return a \|List\|, each line of the file as an item. Lines are broken at NL characters. Macintosh files separated with CR will result in a single long line (unless a NL appears somewhere). All NUL characters are replaced with a NL character. When {type} contains "b" binary mode is used: - When the last line ends in a NL an extra empty list item is added. - No CR characters are removed. Otherwise: - CR characters that appear before a NL are removed. - Whether the last line ends in a NL or not does not matter. - When 'encoding' is Unicode any UTF-8 byte order mark is removed from the text. When {max} is given this specifies the maximum number of lines to be read. Useful if you only want to check the first ten lines of a file: > :for line in readfile(fname, '', 10) : if line =~ 'Date' \| echo line \| endif :endfor < When {max} is negative -{max} lines from the end of the file are returned, or as many as there are. When {max} is zero the result is an empty list. Note that without {max} the whole file is read into memory. Also note that there is no recognition of encoding. Read a file into a buffer if you need to. Deprecated (use \|readblob()\| instead): When {type} contains "B" a \|Blob\| is returned with the binary data of the file unmodified. When the file can't be opened an error message is given and the result is an empty list. Also see \|writefile()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFileName()->readfile() reduce({object}, {func} [, {initial}]) reduce() E998 {func} is called for every item in {object}, which can be a \|List\| or a \|Blob\|. {func} is called with two arguments: the result so far and current item. After processing all items the result is returned. {initial} is the initial result. When omitted, the first item in {object} is used and {func} is first called for the second item. If {initial} is not given and {object} is empty no result can be computed, an E998 error is given. Examples: > echo reduce([1, 3, 5], { acc, val -> acc + val }) echo reduce(['x', 'y'], { acc, val -> acc .. val }, 'a') echo reduce(0z1122, { acc, val -> 2 * acc + val }) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > echo mylist->reduce({ acc, val -> acc + val }, 0) reg_executing() reg_executing() Returns the single letter name of the register being executed. Returns an empty string when no register is being executed. See \|@\|. reg_recording() reg_recording() Returns the single letter name of the register being recorded. Returns an empty string when not recording. See \|q\|. reltime([{start} [, {end}]]) reltime() Return an item that represents a time value. The item is a list with items that depend on the system. In Vim 9 script list<any> can be used. The item can be passed to \|reltimestr()\| to convert it to a string or \|reltimefloat()\| to convert to a Float. Without an argument reltime() returns the current time. With one argument is returns the time passed since the time specified in the argument. With two arguments it returns the time passed between {start} and {end}. The {start} and {end} arguments must be values returned by reltime(). Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetStart()->reltime() < {only available when compiled with the \|+reltime\| feature} reltimefloat({time}) reltimefloat() Return a Float that represents the time value of {time}. Example: > let start = reltime() call MyFunction() let seconds = reltimefloat(reltime(start)) < See the note of reltimestr() about overhead. Also see \|profiling\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > reltime(start)->reltimefloat() < {only available when compiled with the \|+reltime\| feature} reltimestr({time}) reltimestr() Return a String that represents the time value of {time}. This is the number of seconds, a dot and the number of microseconds. Example: > let start = reltime() call MyFunction() echo reltimestr(reltime(start)) < Note that overhead for the commands will be added to the time. The accuracy depends on the system. Leading spaces are used to make the string align nicely. You can use split() to remove it. > echo split(reltimestr(reltime(start)))[0] < Also see \|profiling\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > reltime(start)->reltimestr() < {only available when compiled with the \|+reltime\| feature} remote_expr() E449 remote_expr({server}, {string} [, {idvar} [, {timeout}]]) Send the {string} to {server}. The string is sent as an expression and the result is returned after evaluation. The result must be a String or a \|List\|. A \|List\| is turned into a String by joining the items with a line break in between (not at the end), like with join(expr, "\n"). If {idvar} is present and not empty, it is taken as the name of a variable and a {serverid} for later use with \|remote_read()\| is stored there. If {timeout} is given the read times out after this many seconds. Otherwise a timeout of 600 seconds is used. See also \|clientserver\| \|RemoteReply\|. This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. {only available when compiled with the \|+clientserver\| feature} Note: Any errors will cause a local error message to be issued and the result will be the empty string. Variables will be evaluated in the global namespace, independent of a function currently being active. Except when in debug mode, then local function variables and arguments can be evaluated. Examples: > :echo remote_expr("gvim", "2+2") :echo remote_expr("gvim1", "b:current_syntax") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > ServerName()->remote_expr(expr) remote_foreground({server}) remote_foreground() Move the Vim server with the name {server} to the foreground. This works like: > remote_expr({server}, "foreground()") < Except that on Win32 systems the client does the work, to work around the problem that the OS doesn't always allow the server to bring itself to the foreground. Note: This does not restore the window if it was minimized, like foreground() does. This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > ServerName()->remote_foreground() < {only in the Win32, Athena, Motif and GTK GUI versions and the Win32 console version} remote_peek({serverid} [, {retvar}]) remote_peek() Returns a positive number if there are available strings from {serverid}. Copies any reply string into the variable {retvar} if specified. {retvar} must be a string with the name of a variable. Returns zero if none are available. Returns -1 if something is wrong. See also \|clientserver\|. This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. {only available when compiled with the \|+clientserver\| feature} Examples: > :let repl = "" :echo "PEEK: ".remote_peek(id, "repl").": ".repl < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > ServerId()->remote_peek() remote_read({serverid}, [{timeout}]) remote_read() Return the oldest available reply from {serverid} and consume it. Unless a {timeout} in seconds is given, it blocks until a reply is available. See also \|clientserver\|. This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. {only available when compiled with the \|+clientserver\| feature} Example: > :echo remote_read(id) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > ServerId()->remote_read() < remote_send() E241 remote_send({server}, {string} [, {idvar}]) Send the {string} to {server}. The string is sent as input keys and the function returns immediately. At the Vim server the keys are not mapped \|:map\|. If {idvar} is present, it is taken as the name of a variable and a {serverid} for later use with remote_read() is stored there. See also \|clientserver\| \|RemoteReply\|. This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. {only available when compiled with the \|+clientserver\| feature} Note: Any errors will be reported in the server and may mess up the display. Examples: > :echo remote_send("gvim", ":DropAndReply ".file, "serverid"). \ remote_read(serverid) :autocmd NONE RemoteReply * \ echo remote_read(expand("<amatch>")) :echo remote_send("gvim", ":sleep 10 \| echo ". \ 'server2client(expand("<client>"), "HELLO")<CR>') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > ServerName()->remote_send(keys) < remote_startserver() E941 E942 remote_startserver({name}) Become the server {name}. This fails if already running as a server, when \|v:servername\| is not empty.

With {end}: Remove items from {idx} to {end} (inclusive) and return a \|List\| with these items. When {idx} points to the same item as {end} a list with one item is returned. When {end} points to an item before {idx} this is an error. See \|list-index\| for possible values of {idx} and {end}. Example: > :echo "last item: " . remove(mylist, -1) :call remove(mylist, 0, 9) < Use \|delete()\| to remove a file. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->remove(idx) remove({blob}, {idx} [, {end}]) Without {end}: Remove the byte at {idx} from \|Blob\| {blob} and return the byte. With {end}: Remove bytes from {idx} to {end} (inclusive) and return a \|Blob\| with these bytes. When {idx} points to the same byte as {end} a \|Blob\| with one byte is returned. When {end} points to a byte before {idx} this is an error. Example: > :echo "last byte: " . remove(myblob, -1) :call remove(mylist, 0, 9) remove({dict}, {key}) Remove the entry from {dict} with key {key} and return it. Example: > :echo "removed " . remove(dict, "one") < If there is no {key} in {dict} this is an error. rename({from}, {to}) rename() Rename the file by the name {from} to the name {to}. This should also work to move files across file systems. The result is a Number, which is 0 if the file was renamed successfully, and non-zero when the renaming failed. NOTE: If {to} exists it is overwritten without warning. This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetOldName()->rename(newname) repeat({expr}, {count}) repeat() Repeat {expr} {count} times and return the concatenated result. Example: > :let separator = repeat('-', 80) < When {count} is zero or negative the result is empty. When {expr} is a \|List\| the result is {expr} concatenated {count} times. Example: > :let longlist = repeat(['a', 'b'], 3) < Results in ['a', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a', 'b']. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->repeat(count) resolve({filename}) resolve() E655 On MS-Windows, when {filename} is a shortcut (a .lnk file), returns the path the shortcut points to in a simplified form. When {filename} is a symbolic link or junction point, return the full path to the target. If the target of junction is removed, return {filename}. On Unix, repeat resolving symbolic links in all path components of {filename} and return the simplified result. To cope with link cycles, resolving of symbolic links is stopped after 100 iterations. On other systems, return the simplified {filename}. The simplification step is done as by \|simplify()\|. resolve() keeps a leading path component specifying the current directory (provided the result is still a relative path name) and also keeps a trailing path separator. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->resolve() reverse({object}) reverse() Reverse the order of items in {object} in-place. {object} can be a \|List\| or a \|Blob\|. Returns {object}. If you want an object to remain unmodified make a copy first: > :let revlist = reverse(copy(mylist)) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->reverse() round({expr}) round() Round off {expr} to the nearest integral value and return it as a \|Float\|. If {expr} lies halfway between two integral values, then use the larger one (away from zero). {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > echo round(0.456) < 0.0 > echo round(4.5) < 5.0 > echo round(-4.5) < -5.0 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->round() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} rubyeval({expr}) rubyeval() Evaluate Ruby expression {expr} and return its result converted to Vim data structures. Numbers, floats and strings are returned as they are (strings are copied though). Arrays are represented as Vim \|List\| type. Hashes are represented as Vim \|Dictionary\| type. Other objects are represented as strings resulted from their "Object#to_s" method. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRubyExpr()->rubyeval() < {only available when compiled with the \|+ruby\| feature} screenattr({row}, {col}) screenattr() Like \|screenchar()\|, but return the attribute. This is a rather arbitrary number that can only be used to compare to the attribute at other positions. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRow()->screenattr(col) screenchar({row}, {col}) screenchar() The result is a Number, which is the character at position [row, col] on the screen. This works for every possible screen position, also status lines, window separators and the command line. The top left position is row one, column one The character excludes composing characters. For double-byte encodings it may only be the first byte. This is mainly to be used for testing. Returns -1 when row or col is out of range. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRow()->screenchar(col) screenchars({row}, {col}) screenchars() The result is a \|List\| of Numbers. The first number is the same as what \|screenchar()\| returns. Further numbers are composing characters on top of the base character. This is mainly to be used for testing. Returns an empty List when row or col is out of range. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRow()->screenchars(col) screencol() screencol() The result is a Number, which is the current screen column of the cursor. The leftmost column has number 1. This function is mainly used for testing. Note: Always returns the current screen column, thus if used in a command (e.g. ":echo screencol()") it will return the column inside the command line, which is 1 when the command is executed. To get the cursor position in the file use one of the following mappings: > nnoremap <expr> GG ":echom ".screencol()."\n" nnoremap <silent> GG :echom screencol()<CR> nnoremap GG <Cmd>echom screencol()<CR> < screenpos({winid}, {lnum}, {col}) screenpos() The result is a Dict with the screen position of the text character in window {winid} at buffer line {lnum} and column {col}. {col} is a one-based byte index. The Dict has these members: row screen row col first screen column endcol last screen column curscol cursor screen column If the specified position is not visible, all values are zero. The "endcol" value differs from "col" when the character occupies more than one screen cell. E.g. for a Tab "col" can be 1 and "endcol" can be 8. The "curscol" value is where the cursor would be placed. For a Tab it would be the same as "endcol", while for a double width character it would be the same as "col". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->screenpos(lnum, col) screenrow() screenrow() The result is a Number, which is the current screen row of the cursor. The top line has number one. This function is mainly used for testing. Alternatively you can use \|winline()\|. Note: Same restrictions as with \|screencol()\|. screenstring({row}, {col}) screenstring() The result is a String that contains the base character and any composing characters at position [row, col] on the screen. This is like \|screenchars()\| but returning a String with the characters. This is mainly to be used for testing. Returns an empty String when row or col is out of range. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetRow()->screenstring(col) < search() search({pattern} [, {flags} [, {stopline} [, {timeout} [, {skip}]]]]) Search for regexp pattern {pattern}. The search starts at the cursor position (you can use \|cursor()\| to set it). When a match has been found its line number is returned. If there is no match a 0 is returned and the cursor doesn't move. No error message is given. {flags} is a String, which can contain these character flags: 'b' search Backward instead of forward 'c' accept a match at the Cursor position 'e' move to the End of the match 'n' do Not move the cursor 'p' return number of matching sub-Pattern (see below) 's' Set the ' mark at the previous location of the cursor 'w' Wrap around the end of the file 'W' don't Wrap around the end of the file 'z' start searching at the cursor column instead of zero If neither 'w' or 'W' is given, the 'wrapscan' option applies. If the 's' flag is supplied, the ' mark is set, only if the cursor is moved. The 's' flag cannot be combined with the 'n' flag. 'ignorecase', 'smartcase' and 'magic' are used. When the 'z' flag is not given, forward searching always starts in column zero and then matches before the cursor are skipped. When the 'c' flag is present in 'cpo' the next search starts after the match. Without the 'c' flag the next search starts one column further. This matters for overlapping matches. When searching backwards and the 'z' flag is given then the search starts in column zero, thus no match in the current line will be found (unless wrapping around the end of the file). When the {stopline} argument is given then the search stops after searching this line. This is useful to restrict the search to a range of lines. Examples: > let match = search('(', 'b', line("w0")) let end = search('END', '', line("w$")) < When {stopline} is used and it is not zero this also implies that the search does not wrap around the end of the file. A zero value is equal to not giving the argument. When the {timeout} argument is given the search stops when more than this many milliseconds have passed. Thus when {timeout} is 500 the search stops after half a second. The value must not be negative. A zero value is like not giving the argument. {only available when compiled with the \|+reltime\| feature} If the {skip} expression is given it is evaluated with the cursor positioned on the start of a match. If it evaluates to non-zero this match is skipped. This can be used, for example, to skip a match in a comment or a string. {skip} can be a string, which is evaluated as an expression, a function reference or a lambda. When {skip} is omitted or empty, every match is accepted. When evaluating {skip} causes an error the search is aborted and -1 returned. search()-sub-match With the 'p' flag the returned value is one more than the first sub-match in . One if none of them matched but the whole pattern did match. To get the column number too use \|searchpos()\|. The cursor will be positioned at the match, unless the 'n' flag is used. Example (goes over all files in the argument list): > :let n = 1 :while n <= argc() " loop over all files in arglist : exe "argument " . n : " start at the last char in the file and wrap for the : " first search to find match at start of file : normal G$ : let flags = "w" : while search("foo", flags) > 0 : s/foo/bar/g : let flags = "W" : endwhile : update " write the file if modified : let n = n + 1 :endwhile < Example for using some flags: > :echo search('\<if\\|$else$\\|$endif$', 'ncpe') < This will search for the keywords "if", "else", and "endif" under or after the cursor. Because of the 'p' flag, it returns 1, 2, or 3 depending on which keyword is found, or 0 if the search fails. With the cursor on the first word of the line: if (foo == 0) \| let foo = foo + 1 \| endif ~ the function returns 1. Without the 'c' flag, the function finds the "endif" and returns 3. The same thing happens without the 'e' flag if the cursor is on the "f" of "if". The 'n' flag tells the function not to move the cursor. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPattern()->search() searchcount([{options}]) searchcount() Get or update the last search count, like what is displayed without the "S" flag in 'shortmess'. This works even if 'shortmess' does contain the "S" flag. This returns a \|Dictionary\|. The dictionary is empty if the previous pattern was not set and "pattern" was not specified. key type meaning ~ current \|Number\| current position of match; 0 if the cursor position is before the first match exact_match \|Boolean\| 1 if "current" is matched on "pos", otherwise 0 total \|Number\| total count of matches found incomplete \|Number\| 0: search was fully completed 1: recomputing was timed out 2: max count exceeded For {options} see further down. To get the last search count when \|n\| or \|N\| was pressed, call this function with `recompute: 0` . This sometimes returns wrong information because \|n\| and \|N\|'s maximum count is 99. If it exceeded 99 the result must be max count + 1 (100). If you want to get correct information, specify `recompute: 1`: > " result == maxcount + 1 (100) when many matches let result = searchcount(#{recompute: 0}) " Below returns correct result (recompute defaults " to 1) let result = searchcount() < The function is useful to add the count to \|statusline\|: > function! LastSearchCount() abort let result = searchcount(#{recompute: 0}) if empty(result) return '' endif if result.incomplete ==# 1 " timed out return printf(' /%s [?/??]', @/) elseif result.incomplete ==# 2 " max count exceeded if result.total > result.maxcount && \ result.current > result.maxcount return printf(' /%s [>%d/>%d]', @/, \ result.current, result.total) elseif result.total > result.maxcount return printf(' /%s [%d/>%d]', @/, \ result.current, result.total) endif endif return printf(' /%s [%d/%d]', @/, \ result.current, result.total) endfunction let &statusline .= '%{LastSearchCount()}' " Or if you want to show the count only when " 'hlsearch' was on " let &statusline .= " \ '%{v:hlsearch ? LastSearchCount() : ""}' < You can also update the search count, which can be useful in a \|CursorMoved\| or \|CursorMovedI\| autocommand: > autocmd CursorMoved,CursorMovedI * \ let s:searchcount_timer = timer_start( \ 200, function('s:update_searchcount')) function! s:update_searchcount(timer) abort if a:timer ==# s:searchcount_timer call searchcount(#{ \ recompute: 1, maxcount: 0, timeout: 100}) redrawstatus endif endfunction < This can also be used to count matched texts with specified pattern in the current buffer using "pattern": > " Count '\<foo\>' in this buffer " (Note that it also updates search count) let result = searchcount(#{pattern: '\<foo\>'}) " To restore old search count by old pattern, " search again call searchcount() < {options} must be a \|Dictionary\|. It can contain: key type meaning ~ recompute \|Boolean\| if \|TRUE\|, recompute the count like \|n\| or \|N\| was executed. otherwise returns the last computed result (when \|n\| or \|N\| was used when "S" is not in 'shortmess', or this function was called). (default: \|TRUE\|) pattern \|String\| recompute if this was given and different with \|@/\|. this works as same as the below command is executed before calling this function > let @/ = pattern < (default: \|@/\|) timeout \|Number\| 0 or negative number is no timeout. timeout milliseconds for recomputing the result (default: 0) maxcount \|Number\| 0 or negative number is no limit. max count of matched text while recomputing the result. if search exceeded total count, "total" value becomes `maxcount + 1` (default: 99) pos \|List\| `[lnum, col, off]` value when recomputing the result. this changes "current" result value. see \|cursor()\|, \|getpos()\| (default: cursor's position) searchdecl({name} [, {global} [, {thisblock}]]) searchdecl() Search for the declaration of {name}. With a non-zero {global} argument it works like \|gD\|, find first match in the file. Otherwise it works like \|gd\|, find first match in the function. With a non-zero {thisblock} argument matches in a {} block that ends before the cursor position are ignored. Avoids finding variable declarations only valid in another scope. Moves the cursor to the found match. Returns zero for success, non-zero for failure. Example: > if searchdecl('myvar') == 0 echo getline('.') endif < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->searchdecl() < searchpair() searchpair({start}, {middle}, {end} [, {flags} [, {skip} [, {stopline} [, {timeout}]]]]) Search for the match of a nested start-end pair. This can be used to find the "endif" that matches an "if", while other if/endif pairs in between are ignored. The search starts at the cursor. The default is to search forward, include 'b' in {flags} to search backward. If a match is found, the cursor is positioned at it and the line number is returned. If no match is found 0 or -1 is returned and the cursor doesn't move. No error message is given. {start}, {middle} and {end} are patterns, see \|pattern\|. They must not contain pairs. Use of \%( \) is allowed. When {middle} is not empty, it is found when searching from either direction, but only when not in a nested start-end pair. A typical use is: > searchpair('\<if\>', '\<else\>', '\<endif\>') < By leaving {middle} empty the "else" is skipped. {flags} 'b', 'c', 'n', 's', 'w' and 'W' are used like with \|search()\|. Additionally: 'r' Repeat until no more matches found; will find the outer pair. Implies the 'W' flag. 'm' Return number of matches instead of line number with the match; will be > 1 when 'r' is used. Note: it's nearly always a good idea to use the 'W' flag, to avoid wrapping around the end of the file. When a match for {start}, {middle} or {end} is found, the {skip} expression is evaluated with the cursor positioned on the start of the match. It should return non-zero if this match is to be skipped. E.g., because it is inside a comment or a string. When {skip} is omitted or empty, every match is accepted. When evaluating {skip} causes an error the search is aborted and -1 returned. {skip} can be a string, a lambda, a funcref or a partial. Anything else makes the function fail. For {stopline} and {timeout} see \|search()\|. The value of 'ignorecase' is used. 'magic' is ignored, the patterns are used like it's on. The search starts exactly at the cursor. A match with {start}, {middle} or {end} at the next character, in the direction of searching, is the first one found. Example: > if 1 if 2 endif 2 endif 1 < When starting at the "if 2", with the cursor on the "i", and searching forwards, the "endif 2" is found. When starting on the character just before the "if 2", the "endif 1" will be found. That's because the "if 2" will be found first, and then this is considered to be a nested if/endif from "if 2" to "endif 2". When searching backwards and {end} is more than one character, it may be useful to put "\zs" at the end of the pattern, so that when the cursor is inside a match with the end it finds the matching start. Example, to find the "endif" command in a Vim script: > :echo searchpair('\<if\>', '\<el\%[seif]\>', '\<en\%[dif]\>', 'W', \ 'getline(".") =~ "^\\s\""') < The cursor must be at or after the "if" for which a match is to be found. Note that single-quote strings are used to avoid having to double the backslashes. The skip expression only catches comments at the start of a line, not after a command. Also, a word "en" or "if" halfway a line is considered a match. Another example, to search for the matching "{" of a "}": > :echo searchpair('{', '', '}', 'bW') < This works when the cursor is at or before the "}" for which a match is to be found. To reject matches that syntax highlighting recognized as strings: > :echo searchpair('{', '', '}', 'bW', \ 'synIDattr(synID(line("."), col("."), 0), "name") =~? "string"') < searchpairpos()* searchpairpos({start}, {middle}, {end} [, {flags} [, {skip} [, {stopline} [, {timeout}]]]]) Same as \|searchpair()\|, but returns a \|List\| with the line and column position of the match. The first element of the \|List\| is the line number and the second element is the byte index of the column position of the match. If no match is found, returns [0, 0]. > :let [lnum,col] = searchpairpos('{', '', '}', 'n') < See \|match-parens\| for a bigger and more useful example. searchpos() searchpos({pattern} [, {flags} [, {stopline} [, {timeout} [, {skip}]]]]) Same as \|search()\|, but returns a \|List\| with the line and column position of the match. The first element of the \|List\| is the line number and the second element is the byte index of the column position of the match. If no match is found, returns [0, 0]. Example: > :let [lnum, col] = searchpos('mypattern', 'n') < When the 'p' flag is given then there is an extra item with the sub-pattern match number \|search()-sub-match\|. Example: > :let [lnum, col, submatch] = searchpos('$\l$\\|$\u$', 'np') < In this example "submatch" is 2 when a lowercase letter is found \|/\l\|, 3 when an uppercase letter is found \|/\u\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPattern()->searchpos() server2client({clientid}, {string}) server2client() Send a reply string to {clientid}. The most recent {clientid} that sent a string can be retrieved with expand("<client>"). {only available when compiled with the \|+clientserver\| feature} Returns zero for success, -1 for failure. Note: This id has to be stored before the next command can be received. I.e. before returning from the received command and before calling any commands that waits for input. See also \|clientserver\|. Example: > :echo server2client(expand("<client>"), "HELLO") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetClientId()->server2client(string) < serverlist() serverlist() Return a list of available server names, one per line. When there are no servers or the information is not available an empty string is returned. See also \|clientserver\|. {only available when compiled with the \|+clientserver\| feature} Example: > :echo serverlist() < setbufline({expr}, {lnum}, {text}) setbufline() Set line {lnum} to {text} in buffer {expr}. This works like \|setline()\| for the specified buffer. This function works only for loaded buffers. First call \|bufload()\| if needed. To insert lines use \|appendbufline()\|. Any text properties in {lnum} are cleared. {text} can be a string to set one line, or a list of strings to set multiple lines. If the list extends below the last line then those lines are added. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. {lnum} is used like with \|setline()\|. When {lnum} is just below the last line the {text} will be added below the last line. When {expr} is not a valid buffer, the buffer is not loaded or {lnum} is not valid then 1 is returned. On success 0 is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the third argument: > GetText()->setbufline(buf, lnum) setbufvar({expr}, {varname}, {val}) setbufvar() Set option or local variable {varname} in buffer {expr} to {val}. This also works for a global or local window option, but it doesn't work for a global or local window variable. For a local window option the global value is unchanged. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. Note that the variable name without "b:" must be used. Examples: > :call setbufvar(1, "&mod", 1) :call setbufvar("todo", "myvar", "foobar") < This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the third argument: > GetValue()->setbufvar(buf, varname) setcellwidths({list}) setcellwidths() Specify overrides for cell widths of character ranges. This tells Vim how wide characters are, counted in screen cells. This overrides 'ambiwidth'. Example: > setcellwidths([[0xad, 0xad, 1], \ [0x2194, 0x2199, 2]]) < E1109 E1110 E1111 E1112 E1113 The {list} argument is a list of lists with each three numbers. These three numbers are [low, high, width]. "low" and "high" can be the same, in which case this refers to one character. Otherwise it is the range of characters from "low" to "high" (inclusive). "width" is either 1 or 2, indicating the character width in screen cells. An error is given if the argument is invalid, also when a range overlaps with another. Only characters with value 0x100 and higher can be used. To clear the overrides pass an empty list: > setcellwidths([]); < You can use the script $VIMRUNTIME/tools/emoji_list.vim to see the effect for known emoji characters. setcharpos({expr}, {list}) setcharpos() Same as \|setpos()\| but uses the specified column number as the character index instead of the byte index in the line. Example: With the text "여보세요" in line 8: > call setcharpos('.', [0, 8, 4, 0]) < positions the cursor on the fourth character '요'. > call setpos('.', [0, 8, 4, 0]) < positions the cursor on the second character '보'. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPosition()->setcharpos('.') setcharsearch({dict}) setcharsearch() Set the current character search information to {dict}, which contains one or more of the following entries: char character which will be used for a subsequent \|,\| or \|;\| command; an empty string clears the character search forward direction of character search; 1 for forward, 0 for backward until type of character search; 1 for a \|t\| or \|T\| character search, 0 for an \|f\| or \|F\| character search This can be useful to save/restore a user's character search from a script: > :let prevsearch = getcharsearch() :" Perform a command which clobbers user's search :call setcharsearch(prevsearch) < Also see \|getcharsearch()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > SavedSearch()->setcharsearch() setcmdpos({pos}) setcmdpos() Set the cursor position in the command line to byte position {pos}. The first position is 1. Use \|getcmdpos()\| to obtain the current position. Only works while editing the command line, thus you must use \|c_CTRL-\_e\|, \|c_CTRL-R_=\| or \|c_CTRL-R_CTRL-R\| with '='. For \|c_CTRL-\_e\| and \|c_CTRL-R_CTRL-R\| with '=' the position is set after the command line is set to the expression. For \|c_CTRL-R_=\| it is set after evaluating the expression but before inserting the resulting text. When the number is too big the cursor is put at the end of the line. A number smaller than one has undefined results. Returns FALSE when successful, TRUE when not editing the command line. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPos()->setcmdpos() setcursorcharpos({lnum}, {col} [, {off}]) setcursorcharpos() setcursorcharpos({list}) Same as \|cursor()\| but uses the specified column number as the character index instead of the byte index in the line. Example: With the text "여보세요" in line 4: > call setcursorcharpos(4, 3) < positions the cursor on the third character '세'. > call cursor(4, 3) < positions the cursor on the first character '여'. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCursorPos()->setcursorcharpos() setenv({name}, {val}) setenv() Set environment variable {name} to {val}. When {val} is \|v:null\| the environment variable is deleted. See also \|expr-env\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetPath()->setenv('PATH') setfperm({fname}, {mode}) setfperm() chmod Set the file permissions for {fname} to {mode}. {mode} must be a string with 9 characters. It is of the form "rwxrwxrwx", where each group of "rwx" flags represent, in turn, the permissions of the owner of the file, the group the file belongs to, and other users. A '-' character means the permission is off, any other character means on. Multi-byte characters are not supported. For example "rw-r-----" means read-write for the user, readable by the group, not accessible by others. "xx-x-----" would do the same thing. Returns non-zero for success, zero for failure. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->setfperm(mode) < To read permissions see \|getfperm()\|. setline({lnum}, {text}) setline() Set line {lnum} of the current buffer to {text}. To insert lines use \|append()\|. To set lines in another buffer use \|setbufline()\|. Any text properties in {lnum} are cleared. {lnum} is used like with \|getline()\|. When {lnum} is just below the last line the {text} will be added below the last line. {text} can be any type or a List of any type, each item is converted to a String. If this succeeds, FALSE is returned. If this fails (most likely because {lnum} is invalid) TRUE is returned. Example: > :call setline(5, strftime("%c")) < When {text} is a \|List\| then line {lnum} and following lines will be set to the items in the list. Example: > :call setline(5, ['aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc']) < This is equivalent to: > :for [n, l] in [[5, 'aaa'], [6, 'bbb'], [7, 'ccc']] : call setline(n, l) :endfor < Note: The '[ and '] marks are not set. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetText()->setline(lnum) setloclist({nr}, {list} [, {action} [, {what}]]) setloclist() Create or replace or add to the location list for window {nr}. {nr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. When {nr} is zero the current window is used. For a location list window, the displayed location list is modified. For an invalid window number {nr}, -1 is returned. Otherwise, same as \|setqflist()\|. Also see \|location-list\|. For {action} see \|setqflist-action\|. If the optional {what} dictionary argument is supplied, then only the items listed in {what} are set. Refer to \|setqflist()\| for the list of supported keys in {what}. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetLoclist()->setloclist(winnr) setmatches({list} [, {win}]) setmatches() Restores a list of matches saved by \|getmatches()\| for the current window. Returns 0 if successful, otherwise -1. All current matches are cleared before the list is restored. See example for \|getmatches()\|. If {win} is specified, use the window with this number or window ID instead of the current window. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMatches()->setmatches() < setpos() setpos({expr}, {list}) Set the position for {expr}. Possible values: . the cursor 'x mark x {list} must be a \|List\| with four or five numbers: [bufnum, lnum, col, off] [bufnum, lnum, col, off, curswant] "bufnum" is the buffer number. Zero can be used for the current buffer. When setting an uppercase mark "bufnum" is used for the mark position. For other marks it specifies the buffer to set the mark in. You can use the \|bufnr()\| function to turn a file name into a buffer number. For setting the cursor and the ' mark "bufnum" is ignored, since these are associated with a window, not a buffer. Does not change the jumplist. "lnum" and "col" are the position in the buffer. The first column is 1. Use a zero "lnum" to delete a mark. If "col" is smaller than 1 then 1 is used. To use the character count instead of the byte count, use \|setcharpos()\|. The "off" number is only used when 'virtualedit' is set. Then it is the offset in screen columns from the start of the character. E.g., a position within a <Tab> or after the last character. The "curswant" number is only used when setting the cursor position. It sets the preferred column for when moving the cursor vertically. When the "curswant" number is missing the preferred column is not set. When it is present and setting a mark position it is not used. Note that for '< and '> changing the line number may result in the marks to be effectively be swapped, so that '< is always before '>. Returns 0 when the position could be set, -1 otherwise. An error message is given if {expr} is invalid. Also see \|setcharpos()\|, \|getpos()\| and \|getcurpos()\|. This does not restore the preferred column for moving vertically; if you set the cursor position with this, \|j\| and \|k\| motions will jump to previous columns! Use \|cursor()\| to also set the preferred column. Also see the "curswant" key in \|winrestview()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPosition()->setpos('.') setqflist({list} [, {action} [, {what}]]) setqflist() Create or replace or add to the quickfix list. If the optional {what} dictionary argument is supplied, then only the items listed in {what} are set. The first {list} argument is ignored. See below for the supported items in {what}. setqflist-what When {what} is not present, the items in {list} are used. Each item must be a dictionary. Non-dictionary items in {list} are ignored. Each dictionary item can contain the following entries: bufnr buffer number; must be the number of a valid buffer filename name of a file; only used when "bufnr" is not present or it is invalid. module name of a module; if given it will be used in quickfix error window instead of the filename. lnum line number in the file pattern search pattern used to locate the error col column number vcol when non-zero: "col" is visual column when zero: "col" is byte index nr error number text description of the error type single-character error type, 'E', 'W', etc. valid recognized error message The "col", "vcol", "nr", "type" and "text" entries are optional. Either "lnum" or "pattern" entry can be used to locate a matching error line. If the "filename" and "bufnr" entries are not present or neither the "lnum" or "pattern" entries are present, then the item will not be handled as an error line. If both "pattern" and "lnum" are present then "pattern" will be used. If the "valid" entry is not supplied, then the valid flag is set when "bufnr" is a valid buffer or "filename" exists. If you supply an empty {list}, the quickfix list will be cleared. Note that the list is not exactly the same as what \|getqflist()\| returns. {action} values: setqflist-action E927 'a' The items from {list} are added to the existing quickfix list. If there is no existing list, then a new list is created. 'r' The items from the current quickfix list are replaced with the items from {list}. This can also be used to clear the list: > :call setqflist([], 'r') < 'f' All the quickfix lists in the quickfix stack are freed. If {action} is not present or is set to ' ', then a new list is created. The new quickfix list is added after the current quickfix list in the stack and all the following lists are freed. To add a new quickfix list at the end of the stack, set "nr" in {what} to "$". The following items can be specified in dictionary {what}: context quickfix list context. See \|quickfix-context\| efm errorformat to use when parsing text from "lines". If this is not present, then the 'errorformat' option value is used. See \|quickfix-parse\| id quickfix list identifier \|quickfix-ID\| idx index of the current entry in the quickfix list specified by 'id' or 'nr'. If set to '$', then the last entry in the list is set as the current entry. See \|quickfix-index\| items list of quickfix entries. Same as the {list} argument. lines use 'errorformat' to parse a list of lines and add the resulting entries to the quickfix list {nr} or {id}. Only a \|List\| value is supported. See \|quickfix-parse\| nr list number in the quickfix stack; zero means the current quickfix list and "$" means the last quickfix list. quickfixtextfunc function to get the text to display in the quickfix window. The value can be the name of a function or a funcref or a lambda. Refer to \|quickfix-window-function\| for an explanation of how to write the function and an example. title quickfix list title text. See \|quickfix-title\| Unsupported keys in {what} are ignored. If the "nr" item is not present, then the current quickfix list is modified. When creating a new quickfix list, "nr" can be set to a value one greater than the quickfix stack size. When modifying a quickfix list, to guarantee that the correct list is modified, "id" should be used instead of "nr" to specify the list. Examples (See also \|setqflist-examples\|): > :call setqflist([], 'r', {'title': 'My search'}) :call setqflist([], 'r', {'nr': 2, 'title': 'Errors'}) :call setqflist([], 'a', {'id':qfid, 'lines':["F1:10:L10"]}) < Returns zero for success, -1 for failure. This function can be used to create a quickfix list independent of the 'errorformat' setting. Use a command like `:cc 1` to jump to the first position. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetErrorlist()->setqflist() < setreg() setreg({regname}, {value} [, {options}]) Set the register {regname} to {value}. If {regname} is "" or "@", the unnamed register '"' is used. In \|Vim9-script\| {regname} must be one character. {value} may be any value returned by \|getreg()\| or \|getreginfo()\|, including a \|List\| or \|Dict\|. If {options} contains "a" or {regname} is upper case, then the value is appended. {options} can also contain a register type specification: "c" or "v" \|characterwise\| mode "l" or "V" \|linewise\| mode "b" or "<CTRL-V>" \|blockwise-visual\| mode If a number immediately follows "b" or "<CTRL-V>" then this is used as the width of the selection - if it is not specified then the width of the block is set to the number of characters in the longest line (counting a <Tab> as 1 character). If {options} contains no register settings, then the default is to use character mode unless {value} ends in a <NL> for string {value} and linewise mode for list {value}. Blockwise mode is never selected automatically. Returns zero for success, non-zero for failure. E883 Note: you may not use \|List\| containing more than one item to set search and expression registers. Lists containing no items act like empty strings. Examples: > :call setreg(v:register, @) :call setreg('', @%, 'ac') :call setreg('a', "1\n2\n3", 'b5') :call setreg('"', { 'points_to': 'a'}) < This example shows using the functions to save and restore a register: > :let var_a = getreginfo() :call setreg('a', var_a) < or: > :let var_a = getreg('a', 1, 1) :let var_amode = getregtype('a') .... :call setreg('a', var_a, var_amode) < Note: you may not reliably restore register value without using the third argument to \|getreg()\| as without it newlines are represented as newlines AND Nul bytes are represented as newlines as well, see \|NL-used-for-Nul\|. You can also change the type of a register by appending nothing: > :call setreg('a', '', 'al') < Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetText()->setreg('a') settabvar({tabnr}, {varname}, {val}) settabvar() Set tab-local variable {varname} to {val} in tab page {tabnr}. \|t:var\| Note that autocommands are blocked, side effects may not be triggered, e.g. when setting 'filetype'. Note that the variable name without "t:" must be used. Tabs are numbered starting with one. This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the third argument: > GetValue()->settabvar(tab, name) settabwinvar({tabnr}, {winnr}, {varname}, {val}) settabwinvar() Set option or local variable {varname} in window {winnr} to {val}. Tabs are numbered starting with one. For the current tabpage use \|setwinvar()\|. {winnr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. When {winnr} is zero the current window is used. Note that autocommands are blocked, side effects may not be triggered, e.g. when setting 'filetype' or 'syntax'. This also works for a global or local buffer option, but it doesn't work for a global or local buffer variable. For a local buffer option the global value is unchanged. Note that the variable name without "w:" must be used. Examples: > :call settabwinvar(1, 1, "&list", 0) :call settabwinvar(3, 2, "myvar", "foobar") < This function is not available in the \|sandbox\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the fourth argument: > GetValue()->settabvar(tab, winnr, name) settagstack({nr}, {dict} [, {action}]) settagstack() Modify the tag stack of the window {nr} using {dict}. {nr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. For a list of supported items in {dict}, refer to \|gettagstack()\|. "curidx" takes effect before changing the tag stack. E962 How the tag stack is modified depends on the {action} argument: - If {action} is not present or is set to 'r', then the tag stack is replaced. - If {action} is set to 'a', then new entries from {dict} are pushed (added) onto the tag stack. - If {action} is set to 't', then all the entries from the current entry in the tag stack or "curidx" in {dict} are removed and then new entries are pushed to the stack. The current index is set to one after the length of the tag stack after the modification. Returns zero for success, -1 for failure. Examples (for more examples see \|tagstack-examples\|): Empty the tag stack of window 3: > call settagstack(3, {'items' : []}) < Save and restore the tag stack: > let stack = gettagstack(1003) " do something else call settagstack(1003, stack) unlet stack < Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetStack()->settagstack(winnr) setwinvar({winnr}, {varname}, {val}) setwinvar() Like \|settabwinvar()\| for the current tab page. Examples: > :call setwinvar(1, "&list", 0) :call setwinvar(2, "myvar", "foobar") < Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the third argument: > GetValue()->setwinvar(winnr, name) sha256({string}) sha256() Returns a String with 64 hex characters, which is the SHA256 checksum of {string}. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->sha256() < {only available when compiled with the \|+cryptv\| feature} shellescape({string} [, {special}]) shellescape() Escape {string} for use as a shell command argument. On MS-Windows, when 'shellslash' is not set, it will enclose {string} in double quotes and double all double quotes within {string}. Otherwise it will enclose {string} in single quotes and replace all "'" with "'\''". When the {special} argument is present and it's a non-zero Number or a non-empty String (\|non-zero-arg\|), then special items such as "!", "%", "#" and "<cword>" will be preceded by a backslash. This backslash will be removed again by the \|:!\| command. The "!" character will be escaped (again with a \|non-zero-arg\| {special}) when 'shell' contains "csh" in the tail. That is because for csh and tcsh "!" is used for history replacement even when inside single quotes. With a \|non-zero-arg\| {special} the <NL> character is also escaped. When 'shell' containing "csh" in the tail it's escaped a second time. Example of use with a \|:!\| command: > :exe '!dir ' . shellescape(expand('<cfile>'), 1) < This results in a directory listing for the file under the cursor. Example of use with \|system()\|: > :call system("chmod +w -- " . shellescape(expand("%"))) < See also \|::S\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCommand()->shellescape() shiftwidth([{col}]) shiftwidth() Returns the effective value of 'shiftwidth'. This is the 'shiftwidth' value unless it is zero, in which case it is the 'tabstop' value. This function was introduced with patch 7.3.694 in 2012, everybody should have it by now (however it did not allow for the optional {col} argument until 8.1.542). When there is one argument {col} this is used as column number for which to return the 'shiftwidth' value. This matters for the 'vartabstop' feature. If the 'vartabstop' setting is enabled and no {col} argument is given, column 1 will be assumed. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetColumn()->shiftwidth() sign_ functions are documented here: \|sign-functions-details\| simplify({filename}) simplify() Simplify the file name as much as possible without changing the meaning. Shortcuts (on MS-Windows) or symbolic links (on Unix) are not resolved. If the first path component in {filename} designates the current directory, this will be valid for the result as well. A trailing path separator is not removed either. On Unix "//path" is unchanged, but "///path" is simplified to "/path" (this follows the Posix standard). Example: > simplify("./dir/.././/file/") == "./file/" < Note: The combination "dir/.." is only removed if "dir" is a searchable directory or does not exist. On Unix, it is also removed when "dir" is a symbolic link within the same directory. In order to resolve all the involved symbolic links before simplifying the path name, use \|resolve()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->simplify() sin({expr}) sin() Return the sine of {expr}, measured in radians, as a \|Float\|. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo sin(100) < -0.506366 > :echo sin(-4.01) < 0.763301 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->sin() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} sinh({expr}) sinh() Return the hyperbolic sine of {expr} as a \|Float\| in the range [-inf, inf]. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo sinh(0.5) < 0.521095 > :echo sinh(-0.9) < -1.026517 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->sinh() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} slice({expr}, {start} [, {end}]) slice() Similar to using a \|slice\| "expr[start : end]", but "end" is used exclusive. And for a string the indexes are used as character indexes instead of byte indexes, like in \|vim9script\|. Also, composing characters are not counted. When {end} is omitted the slice continues to the last item. When {end} is -1 the last item is omitted. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetList()->slice(offset) sort({list} [, {func} [, {dict}]]) sort() E702 Sort the items in {list} in-place. Returns {list}. If you want a list to remain unmodified make a copy first: > :let sortedlist = sort(copy(mylist)) < When {func} is omitted, is empty or zero, then sort() uses the string representation of each item to sort on. Numbers sort after Strings, \|Lists\| after Numbers. For sorting text in the current buffer use \|:sort\|. When {func} is given and it is '1' or 'i' then case is ignored. When {func} is given and it is 'l' then the current collation locale is used for ordering. Implementation details: strcoll() is used to compare strings. See \|:language\| check or set the collation locale. \|v:collate\| can also be used to check the current locale. Sorting using the locale typically ignores case. Example: > " ö is sorted similarly to o with English locale. :language collate en_US.UTF8 :echo sort(['n', 'o', 'O', 'ö', 'p', 'z'], 'l') < ['n', 'o', 'O', 'ö', 'p', 'z'] ~ > " ö is sorted after z with Swedish locale. :language collate sv_SE.UTF8 :echo sort(['n', 'o', 'O', 'ö', 'p', 'z'], 'l') < ['n', 'o', 'O', 'p', 'z', 'ö'] ~ This does not work properly on Mac. When {func} is given and it is 'n' then all items will be sorted numerical (Implementation detail: this uses the strtod() function to parse numbers, Strings, Lists, Dicts and Funcrefs will be considered as being 0). When {func} is given and it is 'N' then all items will be sorted numerical. This is like 'n' but a string containing digits will be used as the number they represent. When {func} is given and it is 'f' then all items will be sorted numerical. All values must be a Number or a Float. When {func} is a \|Funcref\| or a function name, this function is called to compare items. The function is invoked with two items as argument and must return zero if they are equal, 1 or bigger if the first one sorts after the second one, -1 or smaller if the first one sorts before the second one. {dict} is for functions with the "dict" attribute. It will be used to set the local variable "self". \|Dictionary-function\| The sort is stable, items which compare equal (as number or as string) will keep their relative position. E.g., when sorting on numbers, text strings will sort next to each other, in the same order as they were originally. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->sort() < Also see \|uniq()\|. Example: > func MyCompare(i1, i2) return a:i1 == a:i2 ? 0 : a:i1 > a:i2 ? 1 : -1 endfunc let sortedlist = sort(mylist, "MyCompare") < A shorter compare version for this specific simple case, which ignores overflow: > func MyCompare(i1, i2) return a:i1 - a:i2 endfunc < sound_clear() sound_clear() Stop playing all sounds. {only available when compiled with the \|+sound\| feature} sound_playevent() sound_playevent({name} [, {callback}]) Play a sound identified by {name}. Which event names are supported depends on the system. Often the XDG sound names are used. On Ubuntu they may be found in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo. Example: > call sound_playevent('bell') < On MS-Windows, {name} can be SystemAsterisk, SystemDefault, SystemExclamation, SystemExit, SystemHand, SystemQuestion, SystemStart, SystemWelcome, etc. When {callback} is specified it is invoked when the sound is finished. The first argument is the sound ID, the second argument is the status: 0 sound was played to the end 1 sound was interrupted 2 error occurred after sound started Example: > func Callback(id, status) echomsg "sound " .. a:id .. " finished with " .. a:status endfunc call sound_playevent('bell', 'Callback') < MS-Windows: {callback} doesn't work for this function. Returns the sound ID, which can be passed to `sound_stop()`. Returns zero if the sound could not be played. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSoundName()->sound_playevent() < {only available when compiled with the \|+sound\| feature} sound_playfile() sound_playfile({path} [, {callback}]) Like `sound_playevent()` but play sound file {path}. {path} must be a full path. On Ubuntu you may find files to play with this command: > :!find /usr/share/sounds -type f \| grep -v index.theme < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSoundPath()->sound_playfile() < {only available when compiled with the \|+sound\| feature} sound_stop({id}) sound_stop() Stop playing sound {id}. {id} must be previously returned by `sound_playevent()` or `sound_playfile()`. On MS-Windows, this does not work for event sound started by `sound_playevent()`. To stop event sounds, use `sound_clear()`. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > soundid->sound_stop() < {only available when compiled with the \|+sound\| feature} soundfold() soundfold({word}) Return the sound-folded equivalent of {word}. Uses the first language in 'spelllang' for the current window that supports soundfolding. 'spell' must be set. When no sound folding is possible the {word} is returned unmodified. This can be used for making spelling suggestions. Note that the method can be quite slow. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWord()->soundfold() < spellbadword() spellbadword([{sentence}]) Without argument: The result is the badly spelled word under or after the cursor. The cursor is moved to the start of the bad word. When no bad word is found in the cursor line the result is an empty string and the cursor doesn't move. With argument: The result is the first word in {sentence} that is badly spelled. If there are no spelling mistakes the result is an empty string. The return value is a list with two items: - The badly spelled word or an empty string. - The type of the spelling error: "bad" spelling mistake "rare" rare word "local" word only valid in another region "caps" word should start with Capital Example: > echo spellbadword("the quik brown fox") < ['quik', 'bad'] ~ The spelling information for the current window and the value of 'spelllang' are used. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->spellbadword() < spellsuggest() spellsuggest({word} [, {max} [, {capital}]]) Return a \|List\| with spelling suggestions to replace {word}. When {max} is given up to this number of suggestions are returned. Otherwise up to 25 suggestions are returned. When the {capital} argument is given and it's non-zero only suggestions with a leading capital will be given. Use this after a match with 'spellcapcheck'. {word} can be a badly spelled word followed by other text. This allows for joining two words that were split. The suggestions also include the following text, thus you can replace a line. {word} may also be a good word. Similar words will then be returned. {word} itself is not included in the suggestions, although it may appear capitalized. The spelling information for the current window is used. The values of 'spelllang' and 'spellsuggest' are used. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWord()->spellsuggest() split({expr} [, {pattern} [, {keepempty}]]) split() Make a \|List\| out of {expr}. When {pattern} is omitted or empty each white-separated sequence of characters becomes an item. Otherwise the string is split where {pattern} matches, removing the matched characters. 'ignorecase' is not used here, add \c to ignore case. \|/\c\| When the first or last item is empty it is omitted, unless the {keepempty} argument is given and it's non-zero. Other empty items are kept when {pattern} matches at least one character or when {keepempty} is non-zero. Example: > :let words = split(getline('.'), '\W\+') < To split a string in individual characters: > :for c in split(mystring, '\zs') < If you want to keep the separator you can also use '\zs' at the end of the pattern: > :echo split('abc:def:ghi', ':\zs') < ['abc:', 'def:', 'ghi'] ~ Splitting a table where the first element can be empty: > :let items = split(line, ':', 1) < The opposite function is \|join()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetString()->split() sqrt({expr}) sqrt() Return the non-negative square root of Float {expr} as a \|Float\|. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. When {expr} is negative the result is NaN (Not a Number). Examples: > :echo sqrt(100) < 10.0 > :echo sqrt(-4.01) < nan "nan" may be different, it depends on system libraries. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->sqrt() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} srand([{expr}]) srand() Initialize seed used by \|rand()\|: - If {expr} is not given, seed values are initialized by reading from /dev/urandom, if possible, or using time(NULL) a.k.a. epoch time otherwise; this only has second accuracy. - If {expr} is given it must be a Number. It is used to initialize the seed values. This is useful for testing or when a predictable sequence is intended. Examples: > :let seed = srand() :let seed = srand(userinput) :echo rand(seed) state([{what}]) state() Return a string which contains characters indicating the current state. Mostly useful in callbacks that want to do work that may not always be safe. Roughly this works like: - callback uses state() to check if work is safe to do. Yes: then do it right away. No: add to work queue and add a \|SafeState\| and/or \|SafeStateAgain\| autocommand (\|SafeState\| triggers at toplevel, \|SafeStateAgain\| triggers after handling messages and callbacks). - When SafeState or SafeStateAgain is triggered and executes your autocommand, check with `state()` if the work can be done now, and if yes remove it from the queue and execute. Remove the autocommand if the queue is now empty. Also see \|mode()\|. When {what} is given only characters in this string will be added. E.g, this checks if the screen has scrolled: > if state('s') == '' " screen has not scrolled < These characters indicate the state, generally indicating that something is busy: m halfway a mapping, :normal command, feedkeys() or stuffed command o operator pending, e.g. after \|d\| a Insert mode autocomplete active x executing an autocommand w blocked on waiting, e.g. ch_evalexpr(), ch_read() and ch_readraw() when reading json S not triggering SafeState or SafeStateAgain, e.g. after \|f\| or a count c callback invoked, including timer (repeats for recursiveness up to "ccc") s screen has scrolled for messages str2float({expr}) str2float() Convert String {expr} to a Float. This mostly works the same as when using a floating point number in an expression, see \|floating-point-format\|. But it's a bit more permissive. E.g., "1e40" is accepted, while in an expression you need to write "1.0e40". The hexadecimal form "0x123" is also accepted, but not others, like binary or octal. Text after the number is silently ignored. The decimal point is always '.', no matter what the locale is set to. A comma ends the number: "12,345.67" is converted to 12.0. You can strip out thousands separators with \|substitute()\|: > let f = str2float(substitute(text, ',', '', 'g')) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > let f = text->substitute(',', '', 'g')->str2float() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} str2list({expr} [, {utf8}]) str2list() Return a list containing the number values which represent each character in String {expr}. Examples: > str2list(" ") returns [32] str2list("ABC") returns [65, 66, 67] < \|list2str()\| does the opposite. When {utf8} is omitted or zero, the current 'encoding' is used. With {utf8} set to 1, always treat the String as utf-8 characters. With utf-8 composing characters are handled properly: > str2list("á") returns [97, 769] < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetString()->str2list() str2nr({expr} [, {base} [, {quoted}]]) str2nr() Convert string {expr} to a number. {base} is the conversion base, it can be 2, 8, 10 or 16. When {quoted} is present and non-zero then embedded single quotes are ignored, thus "1'000'000" is a million. When {base} is omitted base 10 is used. This also means that a leading zero doesn't cause octal conversion to be used, as with the default String to Number conversion. Example: > let nr = str2nr('0123') < When {base} is 16 a leading "0x" or "0X" is ignored. With a different base the result will be zero. Similarly, when {base} is 8 a leading "0", "0o" or "0O" is ignored, and when {base} is 2 a leading "0b" or "0B" is ignored. Text after the number is silently ignored. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->str2nr() strcharlen({expr}) strcharlen() The result is a Number, which is the number of characters in String {expr}. Composing characters are ignored. \|strchars()\| can count the number of characters, counting composing characters separately. Also see \|strlen()\|, \|strdisplaywidth()\| and \|strwidth()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->strcharlen() strcharpart({src}, {start} [, {len} [, {skipcc}]]) strcharpart() Like \|strpart()\| but using character index and length instead of byte index and length. When {skipcc} is omitted or zero, composing characters are counted separately. When {skipcc} set to 1, Composing characters are ignored, similar to \|slice()\|. When a character index is used where a character does not exist it is omitted and counted as one character. For example: > strcharpart('abc', -1, 2) < results in 'a'. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->strcharpart(5) strchars({expr} [, {skipcc}]) strchars() The result is a Number, which is the number of characters in String {expr}. When {skipcc} is omitted or zero, composing characters are counted separately. When {skipcc} set to 1, Composing characters are ignored. \|strcharlen()\| always does this. Also see \|strlen()\|, \|strdisplaywidth()\| and \|strwidth()\|. {skipcc} is only available after 7.4.755. For backward compatibility, you can define a wrapper function: > if has("patch-7.4.755") function s:strchars(str, skipcc) return strchars(a:str, a:skipcc) endfunction else function s:strchars(str, skipcc) if a:skipcc return strlen(substitute(a:str, ".", "x", "g")) else return strchars(a:str) endif endfunction endif < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->strchars() strdisplaywidth({expr} [, {col}]) strdisplaywidth() The result is a Number, which is the number of display cells String {expr} occupies on the screen when it starts at {col} (first column is zero). When {col} is omitted zero is used. Otherwise it is the screen column where to start. This matters for Tab characters. The option settings of the current window are used. This matters for anything that's displayed differently, such as 'tabstop' and 'display'. When {expr} contains characters with East Asian Width Class Ambiguous, this function's return value depends on 'ambiwidth'. Also see \|strlen()\|, \|strwidth()\| and \|strchars()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->strdisplaywidth() strftime({format} [, {time}]) strftime() The result is a String, which is a formatted date and time, as specified by the {format} string. The given {time} is used, or the current time if no time is given. The accepted {format} depends on your system, thus this is not portable! See the manual page of the C function strftime() for the format. The maximum length of the result is 80 characters. See also \|localtime()\|, \|getftime()\| and \|strptime()\|. The language can be changed with the \|:language\| command. Examples: > :echo strftime("%c") Sun Apr 27 11:49:23 1997 :echo strftime("%Y %b %d %X") 1997 Apr 27 11:53:25 :echo strftime("%y%m%d %T") 970427 11:53:55 :echo strftime("%H:%M") 11:55 :echo strftime("%c", getftime("file.c")) Show mod time of file.c. < Not available on all systems. To check use: > :if exists("strftime") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFormat()->strftime() strgetchar({str}, {index}) strgetchar()* Get character {index} from {str}. This uses a character index, not a byte index. Composing characters are considered separate characters here. Also see \|strcharpart()\| and \|strchars()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->strgetchar(5) stridx({haystack}, {needle} [, {start}]) stridx() The result is a Number, which gives the byte index in {haystack} of the first occurrence of the String {needle}. If {start} is specified, the search starts at index {start}. This can be used to find a second match: > :let colon1 = stridx(line, ":") :let colon2 = stridx(line, ":", colon1 + 1) < The search is done case-sensitive. For pattern searches use \|match()\|. -1 is returned if the {needle} does not occur in {haystack}. See also \|strridx()\|. Examples: > :echo stridx("An Example", "Example") 3 :echo stridx("Starting point", "Start") 0 :echo stridx("Starting point", "start") -1 < strstr() strchr() stridx() works similar to the C function strstr(). When used with a single character it works similar to strchr(). Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetHaystack()->stridx(needle) < string() string({expr}) Return {expr} converted to a String. If {expr} is a Number, Float, String, Blob or a composition of them, then the result can be parsed back with \|eval()\|. {expr} type result ~ String 'string' (single quotes are doubled) Number 123 Float 123.123456 or 1.123456e8 Funcref function('name') Blob 0z00112233.44556677.8899 List [item, item] Dictionary {key: value, key: value} When a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| has a recursive reference it is replaced by "[...]" or "{...}". Using eval() on the result will then fail. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->string() < Also see \|strtrans()\|. strlen() strlen({expr}) The result is a Number, which is the length of the String {expr} in bytes. If the argument is a Number it is first converted to a String. For other types an error is given. If you want to count the number of multibyte characters use \|strchars()\|. Also see \|len()\|, \|strdisplaywidth()\| and \|strwidth()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetString()->strlen() strpart({src}, {start} [, {len} [, {chars}]]) strpart() The result is a String, which is part of {src}, starting from byte {start}, with the byte length {len}. When {chars} is present and TRUE then {len} is the number of characters positions (composing characters are not counted separately, thus "1" means one base character and any following composing characters). To count {start} as characters instead of bytes use \|strcharpart()\|. When bytes are selected which do not exist, this doesn't result in an error, the bytes are simply omitted. If {len} is missing, the copy continues from {start} till the end of the {src}. > strpart("abcdefg", 3, 2) == "de" strpart("abcdefg", -2, 4) == "ab" strpart("abcdefg", 5, 4) == "fg" strpart("abcdefg", 3) == "defg" < Note: To get the first character, {start} must be 0. For example, to get the character under the cursor: > strpart(getline("."), col(".") - 1, 1, v:true) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->strpart(5) strptime({format}, {timestring}) strptime() The result is a Number, which is a unix timestamp representing the date and time in {timestring}, which is expected to match the format specified in {format}. The accepted {format} depends on your system, thus this is not portable! See the manual page of the C function strptime() for the format. Especially avoid "%c". The value of $TZ also matters. If the {timestring} cannot be parsed with {format} zero is returned. If you do not know the format of {timestring} you can try different {format} values until you get a non-zero result. See also \|strftime()\|. Examples: > :echo strptime("%Y %b %d %X", "1997 Apr 27 11:49:23") < 862156163 > :echo strftime("%c", strptime("%y%m%d %T", "970427 11:53:55")) < Sun Apr 27 11:53:55 1997 > :echo strftime("%c", strptime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S", "19970427115355") + 3600) < Sun Apr 27 12:53:55 1997 Not available on all systems. To check use: > :if exists("strptime") strridx({haystack}, {needle} [, {start}]) strridx()* The result is a Number, which gives the byte index in {haystack} of the last occurrence of the String {needle}. When {start} is specified, matches beyond this index are ignored. This can be used to find a match before a previous match: > :let lastcomma = strridx(line, ",") :let comma2 = strridx(line, ",", lastcomma - 1) < The search is done case-sensitive. For pattern searches use \|match()\|. -1 is returned if the {needle} does not occur in {haystack}. If the {needle} is empty the length of {haystack} is returned. See also \|stridx()\|. Examples: > :echo strridx("an angry armadillo", "an") 3 < strrchr() When used with a single character it works similar to the C function strrchr(). Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetHaystack()->strridx(needle) strtrans({expr}) strtrans() The result is a String, which is {expr} with all unprintable characters translated into printable characters \|'isprint'\|. Like they are shown in a window. Example: > echo strtrans(@a) < This displays a newline in register a as "^@" instead of starting a new line. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetString()->strtrans() strwidth({expr}) strwidth() The result is a Number, which is the number of display cells String {expr} occupies. A Tab character is counted as one cell, alternatively use \|strdisplaywidth()\|. When {expr} contains characters with East Asian Width Class Ambiguous, this function's return value depends on 'ambiwidth'. Also see \|strlen()\|, \|strdisplaywidth()\| and \|strchars()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetString()->strwidth() submatch({nr} [, {list}]) submatch() E935 Only for an expression in a \|:substitute\| command or substitute() function. Returns the {nr}'th submatch of the matched text. When {nr} is 0 the whole matched text is returned. Note that a NL in the string can stand for a line break of a multi-line match or a NUL character in the text. Also see \|sub-replace-expression\|. If {list} is present and non-zero then submatch() returns a list of strings, similar to \|getline()\| with two arguments. NL characters in the text represent NUL characters in the text. Only returns more than one item for \|:substitute\|, inside \|substitute()\| this list will always contain one or zero items, since there are no real line breaks. When substitute() is used recursively only the submatches in the current (deepest) call can be obtained. Examples: > :s/\d\+/\=submatch(0) + 1/ :echo substitute(text, '\d\+', '\=submatch(0) + 1', '') < This finds the first number in the line and adds one to it. A line break is included as a newline character. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetNr()->submatch() substitute({expr}, {pat}, {sub}, {flags}) substitute() The result is a String, which is a copy of {expr}, in which the first match of {pat} is replaced with {sub}. When {flags} is "g", all matches of {pat} in {expr} are replaced. Otherwise {flags} should be "". This works like the ":substitute" command (without any flags). But the matching with {pat} is always done like the 'magic' option is set and 'cpoptions' is empty (to make scripts portable). 'ignorecase' is still relevant, use \|/\c\| or \|/\C\| if you want to ignore or match case and ignore 'ignorecase'. 'smartcase' is not used. See \|string-match\| for how {pat} is used. A "~" in {sub} is not replaced with the previous {sub}. Note that some codes in {sub} have a special meaning \|sub-replace-special\|. For example, to replace something with "\n" (two characters), use "\\\\n" or '\\n'. When {pat} does not match in {expr}, {expr} is returned unmodified. Example: > :let &path = substitute(&path, ",\\=[^,]$", "", "") < This removes the last component of the 'path' option. > :echo substitute("testing", ".", "\\U\\0", "") < results in "TESTING". When {sub} starts with "\=", the remainder is interpreted as an expression. See \|sub-replace-expression\|. Example: > :echo substitute(s, '%$\x\x$', \ '\=nr2char("0x" . submatch(1))', 'g') < When {sub} is a Funcref that function is called, with one optional argument. Example: > :echo substitute(s, '%$\x\x$', SubNr, 'g') < The optional argument is a list which contains the whole matched string and up to nine submatches, like what \|submatch()\| returns. Example: > :echo substitute(s, '%$\x\x$', {m -> '0x' . m[1]}, 'g') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetString()->substitute(pat, sub, flags) swapinfo({fname}) swapinfo() The result is a dictionary, which holds information about the swapfile {fname}. The available fields are: version Vim version user user name host host name fname original file name pid PID of the Vim process that created the swap file mtime last modification time in seconds inode Optional: INODE number of the file dirty 1 if file was modified, 0 if not Note that "user" and "host" are truncated to at most 39 bytes. In case of failure an "error" item is added with the reason: Cannot open file: file not found or in accessible Cannot read file: cannot read first block Not a swap file: does not contain correct block ID Magic number mismatch: Info in first block is invalid Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->swapinfo() swapname({expr}) swapname() The result is the swap file path of the buffer {expr}. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\| above. If buffer {expr} is the current buffer, the result is equal to \|:swapname\| (unless there is no swap file). If buffer {expr} has no swap file, returns an empty string. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufname()->swapname() synID({lnum}, {col}, {trans}) synID() The result is a Number, which is the syntax ID at the position {lnum} and {col} in the current window. The syntax ID can be used with \|synIDattr()\| and \|synIDtrans()\| to obtain syntax information about text. {col} is 1 for the leftmost column, {lnum} is 1 for the first line. 'synmaxcol' applies, in a longer line zero is returned. Note that when the position is after the last character, that's where the cursor can be in Insert mode, synID() returns zero. When {trans} is \|TRUE\|, transparent items are reduced to the item that they reveal. This is useful when wanting to know the effective color. When {trans} is \|FALSE\|, the transparent item is returned. This is useful when wanting to know which syntax item is effective (e.g. inside parens). Warning: This function can be very slow. Best speed is obtained by going through the file in forward direction. Example (echoes the name of the syntax item under the cursor): > :echo synIDattr(synID(line("."), col("."), 1), "name") < synIDattr({synID}, {what} [, {mode}]) synIDattr() The result is a String, which is the {what} attribute of syntax ID {synID}. This can be used to obtain information about a syntax item. {mode} can be "gui", "cterm" or "term", to get the attributes for that mode. When {mode} is omitted, or an invalid value is used, the attributes for the currently active highlighting are used (GUI, cterm or term). Use synIDtrans() to follow linked highlight groups. {what} result "name" the name of the syntax item "fg" foreground color (GUI: color name used to set the color, cterm: color number as a string, term: empty string) "bg" background color (as with "fg") "font" font name (only available in the GUI) \|highlight-font\| "sp" special color for the GUI (as with "fg") \|highlight-guisp\| "ul" underline color for cterm: number as a string "fg#" like "fg", but for the GUI and the GUI is running the name in "#RRGGBB" form "bg#" like "fg#" for "bg" "sp#" like "fg#" for "sp" "bold" "1" if bold "italic" "1" if italic "reverse" "1" if reverse "inverse" "1" if inverse (= reverse) "standout" "1" if standout "underline" "1" if underlined "undercurl" "1" if undercurled "strike" "1" if strikethrough Example (echoes the color of the syntax item under the cursor): > :echo synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."), col("."), 1)), "fg") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > :echo synID(line("."), col("."), 1)->synIDtrans()->synIDattr("fg") synIDtrans({synID}) synIDtrans() The result is a Number, which is the translated syntax ID of {synID}. This is the syntax group ID of what is being used to highlight the character. Highlight links given with ":highlight link" are followed. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > :echo synID(line("."), col("."), 1)->synIDtrans()->synIDattr("fg") synconcealed({lnum}, {col}) synconcealed() The result is a \|List\| with currently three items: 1. The first item in the list is 0 if the character at the position {lnum} and {col} is not part of a concealable region, 1 if it is. 2. The second item in the list is a string. If the first item is 1, the second item contains the text which will be displayed in place of the concealed text, depending on the current setting of 'conceallevel' and 'listchars'. 3. The third and final item in the list is a number representing the specific syntax region matched in the line. When the character is not concealed the value is zero. This allows detection of the beginning of a new concealable region if there are two consecutive regions with the same replacement character. For an example, if the text is "123456" and both "23" and "45" are concealed and replaced by the character "X", then: call returns ~ synconcealed(lnum, 1) [0, '', 0] synconcealed(lnum, 2) [1, 'X', 1] synconcealed(lnum, 3) [1, 'X', 1] synconcealed(lnum, 4) [1, 'X', 2] synconcealed(lnum, 5) [1, 'X', 2] synconcealed(lnum, 6) [0, '', 0] synstack({lnum}, {col}) synstack() Return a \|List\|, which is the stack of syntax items at the position {lnum} and {col} in the current window. Each item in the List is an ID like what \|synID()\| returns. The first item in the List is the outer region, following are items contained in that one. The last one is what \|synID()\| returns, unless not the whole item is highlighted or it is a transparent item. This function is useful for debugging a syntax file. Example that shows the syntax stack under the cursor: > for id in synstack(line("."), col(".")) echo synIDattr(id, "name") endfor < When the position specified with {lnum} and {col} is invalid nothing is returned. The position just after the last character in a line and the first column in an empty line are valid positions. system({expr} [, {input}]) system() E677 Get the output of the shell command {expr} as a string. See \|systemlist()\| to get the output as a \|List\|. When {input} is given and is a string this string is written to a file and passed as stdin to the command. The string is written as-is, you need to take care of using the correct line separators yourself. If {input} is given and is a \|List\| it is written to the file in a way \|writefile()\| does with {binary} set to "b" (i.e. with a newline between each list item with newlines inside list items converted to NULs). When {input} is given and is a number that is a valid id for an existing buffer then the content of the buffer is written to the file line by line, each line terminated by a NL and NULs characters where the text has a NL. Pipes are not used, the 'shelltemp' option is not used. When prepended by \|:silent\| the terminal will not be set to cooked mode. This is meant to be used for commands that do not need the user to type. It avoids stray characters showing up on the screen which require \|CTRL-L\| to remove. > :silent let f = system('ls .vim') < Note: Use \|shellescape()\| or \|::S\| with \|expand()\| or \|fnamemodify()\| to escape special characters in a command argument. Newlines in {expr} may cause the command to fail. The characters in 'shellquote' and 'shellxquote' may also cause trouble. This is not to be used for interactive commands. The result is a String. Example: > :let files = system("ls " . shellescape(expand('%:h'))) :let files = system('ls ' . expand('%:h:S')) < To make the result more system-independent, the shell output is filtered to replace <CR> with <NL> for Macintosh, and <CR><NL> with <NL> for DOS-like systems. To avoid the string being truncated at a NUL, all NUL characters are replaced with SOH (0x01). The command executed is constructed using several options: 'shell' 'shellcmdflag' 'shellxquote' {expr} 'shellredir' {tmp} 'shellxquote' ({tmp} is an automatically generated file name). For Unix, braces are put around {expr} to allow for concatenated commands. The command will be executed in "cooked" mode, so that a CTRL-C will interrupt the command (on Unix at least). The resulting error code can be found in \|v:shell_error\|. This function will fail in \|restricted-mode\|. Note that any wrong value in the options mentioned above may make the function fail. It has also been reported to fail when using a security agent application. Unlike ":!cmd" there is no automatic check for changed files. Use \|:checktime\| to force a check. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > :echo GetCmd()->system() systemlist({expr} [, {input}]) systemlist()* Same as \|system()\|, but returns a \|List\| with lines (parts of output separated by NL) with NULs transformed into NLs. Output is the same as \|readfile()\| will output with {binary} argument set to "b", except that there is no extra empty item when the result ends in a NL. Note that on MS-Windows you may get trailing CR characters. To see the difference between "echo hello" and "echo -n hello" use \|system()\| and \|split()\|: > echo system('echo hello')->split('\n', 1) < Returns an empty string on error. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > :echo GetCmd()->systemlist() tabpagebuflist([{arg}]) tabpagebuflist() The result is a \|List\|, where each item is the number of the buffer associated with each window in the current tab page. {arg} specifies the number of the tab page to be used. When omitted the current tab page is used. When {arg} is invalid the number zero is returned. To get a list of all buffers in all tabs use this: > let buflist = [] for i in range(tabpagenr('$')) call extend(buflist, tabpagebuflist(i + 1)) endfor < Note that a buffer may appear in more than one window. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTabpage()->tabpagebuflist() tabpagenr([{arg}]) tabpagenr() The result is a Number, which is the number of the current tab page. The first tab page has number 1. The optional argument {arg} supports the following values: $ the number of the last tab page (the tab page count). # the number of the last accessed tab page (where \|g<Tab>\| goes to). if there is no previous tab page 0 is returned. The number can be used with the \|:tab\| command. tabpagewinnr({tabarg} [, {arg}]) tabpagewinnr() Like \|winnr()\| but for tab page {tabarg}. {tabarg} specifies the number of tab page to be used. {arg} is used like with \|winnr()\|: - When omitted the current window number is returned. This is the window which will be used when going to this tab page. - When "$" the number of windows is returned. - When "#" the previous window nr is returned. Useful examples: > tabpagewinnr(1) " current window of tab page 1 tabpagewinnr(4, '$') " number of windows in tab page 4 < When {tabarg} is invalid zero is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTabpage()->tabpagewinnr() < tagfiles() tagfiles() Returns a \|List\| with the file names used to search for tags for the current buffer. This is the 'tags' option expanded. taglist({expr} [, {filename}]) taglist() Returns a \|List\| of tags matching the regular expression {expr}. If {filename} is passed it is used to prioritize the results in the same way that \|:tselect\| does. See \|tag-priority\|. {filename} should be the full path of the file. Each list item is a dictionary with at least the following entries: name Name of the tag. filename Name of the file where the tag is defined. It is either relative to the current directory or a full path. cmd Ex command used to locate the tag in the file. kind Type of the tag. The value for this entry depends on the language specific kind values. Only available when using a tags file generated by Exuberant ctags or hdrtag. static A file specific tag. Refer to \|static-tag\| for more information. More entries may be present, depending on the content of the tags file: access, implementation, inherits and signature. Refer to the ctags documentation for information about these fields. For C code the fields "struct", "class" and "enum" may appear, they give the name of the entity the tag is contained in. The ex-command "cmd" can be either an ex search pattern, a line number or a line number followed by a byte number. If there are no matching tags, then an empty list is returned. To get an exact tag match, the anchors '^' and '$' should be used in {expr}. This also make the function work faster. Refer to \|tag-regexp\| for more information about the tag search regular expression pattern. Refer to \|'tags'\| for information about how the tags file is located by Vim. Refer to \|tags-file-format\| for the format of the tags file generated by the different ctags tools. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTagpattern()->taglist() tan({expr}) tan() Return the tangent of {expr}, measured in radians, as a \|Float\| in the range [-inf, inf]. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo tan(10) < 0.648361 > :echo tan(-4.01) < -1.181502 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->tan() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} tanh({expr}) tanh() Return the hyperbolic tangent of {expr} as a \|Float\| in the range [-1, 1]. {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > :echo tanh(0.5) < 0.462117 > :echo tanh(-1) < -0.761594 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->tanh() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} tempname() tempname() temp-file-name The result is a String, which is the name of a file that doesn't exist. It can be used for a temporary file. The name is different for at least 26 consecutive calls. Example: > :let tmpfile = tempname() :exe "redir > " . tmpfile < For Unix, the file will be in a private directory \|tempfile\|. For MS-Windows forward slashes are used when the 'shellslash' option is set or when 'shellcmdflag' starts with '-'. term_ functions are documented here: \|terminal-function-details\| terminalprops() terminalprops() Returns a \|Dictionary\| with properties of the terminal that Vim detected from the response to \|t_RV\| request. See \|v:termresponse\| for the response itself. If \|v:termresponse\| is empty most values here will be 'u' for unknown. cursor_style whether sending \|t_RS\| works cursor_blink_mode whether sending \|t_RC\| works underline_rgb whether \|t_8u\| works mouse mouse type supported value 'u' for unknown, 'y' for yes, 'n' for no If the \|+termresponse\| feature is missing then the result is an empty dictionary. If "cursor_style" is 'y' then \|t_RS\| will be sent to request the current cursor style. If "cursor_blink_mode" is 'y' then \|t_RC\| will be sent to request the cursor blink status. "cursor_style" and "cursor_blink_mode" are also set if \|t_u7\| is not empty, Vim will detect the working of sending \|t_RS\| and \|t_RC\| on startup. When "underline_rgb" is not 'y', then \|t_8u\| will be made empty. This avoids sending it to xterm, which would clear the colors. For "mouse" the value 'u' is unknown Also see: - 'ambiwidth' - detected by using \|t_u7\|. - \|v:termstyleresp\| and \|v:termblinkresp\| for the response to \|t_RS\| and \|t_RC\|. test_ functions are documented here: \|test-functions-details\| timer_info() timer_info([{id}]) Return a list with information about timers. When {id} is given only information about this timer is returned. When timer {id} does not exist an empty list is returned. When {id} is omitted information about all timers is returned. For each timer the information is stored in a \|Dictionary\| with these items: "id" the timer ID "time" time the timer was started with "remaining" time until the timer fires "repeat" number of times the timer will still fire; -1 means forever "callback" the callback "paused" 1 if the timer is paused, 0 otherwise Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTimer()->timer_info() < {only available when compiled with the \|+timers\| feature} timer_pause({timer}, {paused}) timer_pause() Pause or unpause a timer. A paused timer does not invoke its callback when its time expires. Unpausing a timer may cause the callback to be invoked almost immediately if enough time has passed. Pausing a timer is useful to avoid the callback to be called for a short time. If {paused} evaluates to a non-zero Number or a non-empty String, then the timer is paused, otherwise it is unpaused. See \|non-zero-arg\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTimer()->timer_pause(1) < {only available when compiled with the \|+timers\| feature} timer_start() timer timers timer_start({time}, {callback} [, {options}]) Create a timer and return the timer ID. {time} is the waiting time in milliseconds. This is the minimum time before invoking the callback. When the system is busy or Vim is not waiting for input the time will be longer. {callback} is the function to call. It can be the name of a function or a \|Funcref\|. It is called with one argument, which is the timer ID. The callback is only invoked when Vim is waiting for input. If you want to show a message look at \|popup_notification()\| to avoid interfering with what the user is doing. {options} is a dictionary. Supported entries: "repeat" Number of times to repeat calling the callback. -1 means forever. When not present the callback will be called once. If the timer causes an error three times in a row the repeat is cancelled. This avoids that Vim becomes unusable because of all the error messages. Example: > func MyHandler(timer) echo 'Handler called' endfunc let timer = timer_start(500, 'MyHandler', \ {'repeat': 3}) < This will invoke MyHandler() three times at 500 msec intervals. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMsec()->timer_start(callback) < Not available in the \|sandbox\|. {only available when compiled with the \|+timers\| feature} timer_stop({timer}) timer_stop() Stop a timer. The timer callback will no longer be invoked. {timer} is an ID returned by timer_start(), thus it must be a Number. If {timer} does not exist there is no error. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTimer()->timer_stop() < {only available when compiled with the \|+timers\| feature} timer_stopall() timer_stopall() Stop all timers. The timer callbacks will no longer be invoked. Useful if a timer is misbehaving. If there are no timers there is no error. {only available when compiled with the \|+timers\| feature} tolower({expr}) tolower() The result is a copy of the String given, with all uppercase characters turned into lowercase (just like applying \|gu\| to the string). Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->tolower() toupper({expr}) toupper() The result is a copy of the String given, with all lowercase characters turned into uppercase (just like applying \|gU\| to the string). Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->toupper() tr({src}, {fromstr}, {tostr}) tr() The result is a copy of the {src} string with all characters which appear in {fromstr} replaced by the character in that position in the {tostr} string. Thus the first character in {fromstr} is translated into the first character in {tostr} and so on. Exactly like the unix "tr" command. This code also deals with multibyte characters properly. Examples: > echo tr("hello there", "ht", "HT") < returns "Hello THere" > echo tr("<blob>", "<>", "{}") < returns "{blob}" Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->tr(from, to) trim({text} [, {mask} [, {dir}]]) trim() Return {text} as a String where any character in {mask} is removed from the beginning and/or end of {text}. If {mask} is not given, {mask} is all characters up to 0x20, which includes Tab, space, NL and CR, plus the non-breaking space character 0xa0. The optional {dir} argument specifies where to remove the characters: 0 remove from the beginning and end of {text} 1 remove only at the beginning of {text} 2 remove only at the end of {text} When omitted both ends are trimmed. This function deals with multibyte characters properly. Examples: > echo trim(" some text ") < returns "some text" > echo trim(" \r\t\t\r RESERVE \t\n\x0B\xA0") . "_TAIL" < returns "RESERVE_TAIL" > echo trim("rm<Xrm<>X>rrm", "rm<>") < returns "Xrm<>X" (characters in the middle are not removed) > echo trim(" vim ", " ", 2) < returns " vim" Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->trim() trunc({expr}) trunc() Return the largest integral value with magnitude less than or equal to {expr} as a \|Float\| (truncate towards zero). {expr} must evaluate to a \|Float\| or a \|Number\|. Examples: > echo trunc(1.456) < 1.0 > echo trunc(-5.456) < -5.0 > echo trunc(4.0) < 4.0 Can also be used as a \|method\|: > Compute()->trunc() < {only available when compiled with the \|+float\| feature} type() type({expr}) The result is a Number representing the type of {expr}. Instead of using the number directly, it is better to use the v:t_ variable that has the value: Number: 0 \|v:t_number\| String: 1 \|v:t_string\| Funcref: 2 \|v:t_func\| List: 3 \|v:t_list\| Dictionary: 4 \|v:t_dict\| Float: 5 \|v:t_float\| Boolean: 6 \|v:t_bool\| (v:false and v:true) None: 7 \|v:t_none\| (v:null and v:none) Job: 8 \|v:t_job\| Channel: 9 \|v:t_channel\| Blob: 10 \|v:t_blob\| For backward compatibility, this method can be used: > :if type(myvar) == type(0) :if type(myvar) == type("") :if type(myvar) == type(function("tr")) :if type(myvar) == type([]) :if type(myvar) == type({}) :if type(myvar) == type(0.0) :if type(myvar) == type(v:false) :if type(myvar) == type(v:none) < To check if the v:t_ variables exist use this: > :if exists('v:t_number') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->type() typename({expr}) typename() Return a string representation of the type of {expr}. Example: > echo typename([1, 2, 3]) list<number> undofile({name}) undofile() Return the name of the undo file that would be used for a file with name {name} when writing. This uses the 'undodir' option, finding directories that exist. It does not check if the undo file exists. {name} is always expanded to the full path, since that is what is used internally. If {name} is empty undofile() returns an empty string, since a buffer without a file name will not write an undo file. Useful in combination with \|:wundo\| and \|:rundo\|. When compiled without the \|+persistent_undo\| option this always returns an empty string. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->undofile() undotree() undotree() Return the current state of the undo tree in a dictionary with the following items: "seq_last" The highest undo sequence number used. "seq_cur" The sequence number of the current position in the undo tree. This differs from "seq_last" when some changes were undone. "time_cur" Time last used for \|:earlier\| and related commands. Use \|strftime()\| to convert to something readable. "save_last" Number of the last file write. Zero when no write yet. "save_cur" Number of the current position in the undo tree. "synced" Non-zero when the last undo block was synced. This happens when waiting from input from the user. See \|undo-blocks\|. "entries" A list of dictionaries with information about undo blocks. The first item in the "entries" list is the oldest undo item. Each List item is a \|Dictionary\| with these items: "seq" Undo sequence number. Same as what appears in \|:undolist\|. "time" Timestamp when the change happened. Use \|strftime()\| to convert to something readable. "newhead" Only appears in the item that is the last one that was added. This marks the last change and where further changes will be added. "curhead" Only appears in the item that is the last one that was undone. This marks the current position in the undo tree, the block that will be used by a redo command. When nothing was undone after the last change this item will not appear anywhere. "save" Only appears on the last block before a file write. The number is the write count. The first write has number 1, the last one the "save_last" mentioned above. "alt" Alternate entry. This is again a List of undo blocks. Each item may again have an "alt" item. uniq({list} [, {func} [, {dict}]]) uniq() E882 Remove second and succeeding copies of repeated adjacent {list} items in-place. Returns {list}. If you want a list to remain unmodified make a copy first: > :let newlist = uniq(copy(mylist)) < The default compare function uses the string representation of each item. For the use of {func} and {dict} see \|sort()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->uniq() values({dict}) values() Return a \|List\| with all the values of {dict}. The \|List\| is in arbitrary order. Also see \|items()\| and \|keys()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mydict->values() virtcol({expr}) virtcol() The result is a Number, which is the screen column of the file position given with {expr}. That is, the last screen position occupied by the character at that position, when the screen would be of unlimited width. When there is a <Tab> at the position, the returned Number will be the column at the end of the <Tab>. For example, for a <Tab> in column 1, with 'ts' set to 8, it returns 8. \|conceal\| is ignored. For the byte position use \|col()\|. For the use of {expr} see \|col()\|. When 'virtualedit' is used {expr} can be [lnum, col, off], where "off" is the offset in screen columns from the start of the character. E.g., a position within a <Tab> or after the last character. When "off" is omitted zero is used. When Virtual editing is active in the current mode, a position beyond the end of the line can be returned. \|'virtualedit'\| The accepted positions are: . the cursor position $ the end of the cursor line (the result is the number of displayed characters in the cursor line plus one) 'x position of mark x (if the mark is not set, 0 is returned) v In Visual mode: the start of the Visual area (the cursor is the end). When not in Visual mode returns the cursor position. Differs from \|'<\| in that it's updated right away. Note that only marks in the current file can be used. Examples: > virtcol(".") with text "foo^Lbar", with cursor on the "^L", returns 5 virtcol("$") with text "foo^Lbar", returns 9 virtcol("'t") with text " there", with 't at 'h', returns 6 < The first column is 1. 0 is returned for an error. A more advanced example that echoes the maximum length of all lines: > echo max(map(range(1, line('$')), "virtcol([v:val, '$'])")) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPos()->virtcol() visualmode([{expr}]) visualmode() The result is a String, which describes the last Visual mode used in the current buffer. Initially it returns an empty string, but once Visual mode has been used, it returns "v", "V", or "<CTRL-V>" (a single CTRL-V character) for character-wise, line-wise, or block-wise Visual mode respectively. Example: > :exe "normal " . visualmode() < This enters the same Visual mode as before. It is also useful in scripts if you wish to act differently depending on the Visual mode that was used. If Visual mode is active, use \|mode()\| to get the Visual mode (e.g., in a \|:vmap\|). If {expr} is supplied and it evaluates to a non-zero Number or a non-empty String, then the Visual mode will be cleared and the old value is returned. See \|non-zero-arg\|. wildmenumode() wildmenumode() Returns \|TRUE\| when the wildmenu is active and \|FALSE\| otherwise. See 'wildmenu' and 'wildmode'. This can be used in mappings to handle the 'wildcharm' option gracefully. (Makes only sense with \|mapmode-c\| mappings). For example to make <c-j> work like <down> in wildmode, use: > :cnoremap <expr> <C-j> wildmenumode() ? "\<Down>\<Tab>" : "\<c-j>" < (Note, this needs the 'wildcharm' option set appropriately). win_execute({id}, {command} [, {silent}]) win_execute() Like `execute()` but in the context of window {id}. The window will temporarily be made the current window, without triggering autocommands. When executing {command} autocommands will be triggered, this may have unexpected side effects. Use \|:noautocmd\| if needed. Example: > call win_execute(winid, 'set syntax=python') < Doing the same with `setwinvar()` would not trigger autocommands and not actually show syntax highlighting. E994 Not all commands are allowed in popup windows. When window {id} does not exist then no error is given and an empty string is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > GetCommand()->win_execute(winid) win_findbuf({bufnr}) win_findbuf() Returns a \|List\| with \|window-ID\|s for windows that contain buffer {bufnr}. When there is none the list is empty. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->win_findbuf() win_getid([{win} [, {tab}]]) win_getid() Get the \|window-ID\| for the specified window. When {win} is missing use the current window. With {win} this is the window number. The top window has number 1. Without {tab} use the current tab, otherwise the tab with number {tab}. The first tab has number one. Return zero if the window cannot be found. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinnr()->win_getid() win_gettype([{nr}]) win_gettype() Return the type of the window: "autocmd" autocommand window. Temporary window used to execute autocommands. "popup" popup window \|popup\| "preview" preview window \|preview-window\| "command" command-line window \|cmdwin\| (empty) normal window "unknown" window {nr} not found When {nr} is omitted return the type of the current window. When {nr} is given return the type of this window by number or \|window-ID\|. Also see the 'buftype' option. When running a terminal in a popup window then 'buftype' is "terminal" and win_gettype() returns "popup". win_gotoid({expr}) win_gotoid() Go to window with ID {expr}. This may also change the current tabpage. Return TRUE if successful, FALSE if the window cannot be found. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->win_gotoid() win_id2tabwin({expr}) win_id2tabwin() Return a list with the tab number and window number of window with ID {expr}: [tabnr, winnr]. Return [0, 0] if the window cannot be found. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->win_id2tabwin() win_id2win({expr}) win_id2win() Return the window number of window with ID {expr}. Return 0 if the window cannot be found in the current tabpage. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->win_id2win() win_screenpos({nr}) win_screenpos() Return the screen position of window {nr} as a list with two numbers: [row, col]. The first window always has position [1, 1], unless there is a tabline, then it is [2, 1]. {nr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. Use zero for the current window. Return [0, 0] if the window cannot be found in the current tabpage. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->win_screenpos() < win_splitmove({nr}, {target} [, {options}]) win_splitmove() Move the window {nr} to a new split of the window {target}. This is similar to moving to {target}, creating a new window using \|:split\| but having the same contents as window {nr}, and then closing {nr}. Both {nr} and {target} can be window numbers or \|window-ID\|s. Both must be in the current tab page. Returns zero for success, non-zero for failure. {options} is a \|Dictionary\| with the following optional entries: "vertical" When TRUE, the split is created vertically, like with \|:vsplit\|. "rightbelow" When TRUE, the split is made below or to the right (if vertical). When FALSE, it is done above or to the left (if vertical). When not present, the values of 'splitbelow' and 'splitright' are used. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->win_splitmove(target) < winbufnr() winbufnr({nr}) The result is a Number, which is the number of the buffer associated with window {nr}. {nr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. When {nr} is zero, the number of the buffer in the current window is returned. When window {nr} doesn't exist, -1 is returned. Example: > :echo "The file in the current window is " . bufname(winbufnr(0)) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > FindWindow()->winbufnr()->bufname() < wincol() wincol() The result is a Number, which is the virtual column of the cursor in the window. This is counting screen cells from the left side of the window. The leftmost column is one. windowsversion() windowsversion() The result is a String. For MS-Windows it indicates the OS version. E.g, Windows 10 is "10.0", Windows 8 is "6.2", Windows XP is "5.1". For non-MS-Windows systems the result is an empty string. winheight({nr}) winheight() The result is a Number, which is the height of window {nr}. {nr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. When {nr} is zero, the height of the current window is returned. When window {nr} doesn't exist, -1 is returned. An existing window always has a height of zero or more. This excludes any window toolbar line. Examples: > :echo "The current window has " . winheight(0) . " lines." < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->winheight() < winlayout([{tabnr}]) winlayout() The result is a nested List containing the layout of windows in a tabpage. Without {tabnr} use the current tabpage, otherwise the tabpage with number {tabnr}. If the tabpage {tabnr} is not found, returns an empty list. For a leaf window, it returns: ['leaf', {winid}] For horizontally split windows, which form a column, it returns: ['col', [{nested list of windows}]] For vertically split windows, which form a row, it returns: ['row', [{nested list of windows}]] Example: > " Only one window in the tab page :echo winlayout() ['leaf', 1000] " Two horizontally split windows :echo winlayout() ['col', [['leaf', 1000], ['leaf', 1001]]] " The second tab page, with three horizontally split " windows, with two vertically split windows in the " middle window :echo winlayout(2) ['col', [['leaf', 1002], ['row', [['leaf', 1003], ['leaf', 1001]]], ['leaf', 1000]]] < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTabnr()->winlayout() < winline() winline() The result is a Number, which is the screen line of the cursor in the window. This is counting screen lines from the top of the window. The first line is one. If the cursor was moved the view on the file will be updated first, this may cause a scroll. winnr() winnr([{arg}]) The result is a Number, which is the number of the current window. The top window has number 1. Returns zero for a popup window. The optional argument {arg} supports the following values: $ the number of the last window (the window count). # the number of the last accessed window (where \|CTRL-W_p\| goes to). If there is no previous window or it is in another tab page 0 is returned. {N}j the number of the Nth window below the current window (where \|CTRL-W_j\| goes to). {N}k the number of the Nth window above the current window (where \|CTRL-W_k\| goes to). {N}h the number of the Nth window left of the current window (where \|CTRL-W_h\| goes to). {N}l the number of the Nth window right of the current window (where \|CTRL-W_l\| goes to). The number can be used with \|CTRL-W_w\| and ":wincmd w" \|:wincmd\|. Also see \|tabpagewinnr()\| and \|win_getid()\|. Examples: > let window_count = winnr('$') let prev_window = winnr('#') let wnum = winnr('3k') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinval()->winnr() < winrestcmd() winrestcmd() Returns a sequence of \|:resize\| commands that should restore the current window sizes. Only works properly when no windows are opened or closed and the current window and tab page is unchanged. Example: > :let cmd = winrestcmd() :call MessWithWindowSizes() :exe cmd < winrestview() winrestview({dict}) Uses the \|Dictionary\| returned by \|winsaveview()\| to restore the view of the current window. Note: The {dict} does not have to contain all values, that are returned by \|winsaveview()\|. If values are missing, those settings won't be restored. So you can use: > :call winrestview({'curswant': 4}) < This will only set the curswant value (the column the cursor wants to move on vertical movements) of the cursor to column 5 (yes, that is 5), while all other settings will remain the same. This is useful, if you set the cursor position manually. If you have changed the values the result is unpredictable. If the window size changed the result won't be the same. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetView()->winrestview() < winsaveview() winsaveview() Returns a \|Dictionary\| that contains information to restore the view of the current window. Use \|winrestview()\| to restore the view. This is useful if you have a mapping that jumps around in the buffer and you want to go back to the original view. This does not save fold information. Use the 'foldenable' option to temporarily switch off folding, so that folds are not opened when moving around. This may have side effects. The return value includes: lnum cursor line number col cursor column (Note: the first column zero, as opposed to what getpos() returns) coladd cursor column offset for 'virtualedit' curswant column for vertical movement topline first line in the window topfill filler lines, only in diff mode leftcol first column displayed; only used when 'wrap' is off skipcol columns skipped Note that no option values are saved. winwidth({nr}) winwidth() The result is a Number, which is the width of window {nr}. {nr} can be the window number or the \|window-ID\|. When {nr} is zero, the width of the current window is returned. When window {nr} doesn't exist, -1 is returned. An existing window always has a width of zero or more. Examples: > :echo "The current window has " . winwidth(0) . " columns." :if winwidth(0) <= 50 : 50 wincmd \| :endif < For getting the terminal or screen size, see the 'columns' option. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetWinid()->winwidth() wordcount() wordcount() The result is a dictionary of byte/chars/word statistics for the current buffer. This is the same info as provided by \|g_CTRL-G\| The return value includes: bytes Number of bytes in the buffer chars Number of chars in the buffer words Number of words in the buffer cursor_bytes Number of bytes before cursor position (not in Visual mode) cursor_chars Number of chars before cursor position (not in Visual mode) cursor_words Number of words before cursor position (not in Visual mode) visual_bytes Number of bytes visually selected (only in Visual mode) visual_chars Number of chars visually selected (only in Visual mode) visual_words Number of words visually selected (only in Visual mode) writefile() writefile({object}, {fname} [, {flags}]) When {object} is a \|List\| write it to file {fname}. Each list item is separated with a NL. Each list item must be a String or Number. When {flags} contains "b" then binary mode is used: There will not be a NL after the last list item. An empty item at the end does cause the last line in the file to end in a NL. When {object} is a \|Blob\| write the bytes to file {fname} unmodified. When {flags} contains "a" then append mode is used, lines are appended to the file: > :call writefile(["foo"], "event.log", "a") :call writefile(["bar"], "event.log", "a") < When {flags} contains "s" then fsync() is called after writing the file. This flushes the file to disk, if possible. This takes more time but avoids losing the file if the system crashes. When {flags} does not contain "S" or "s" then fsync() is called if the 'fsync' option is set. When {flags} contains "S" then fsync() is not called, even when 'fsync' is set. All NL characters are replaced with a NUL character. Inserting CR characters needs to be done before passing {list} to writefile(). An existing file is overwritten, if possible. When the write fails -1 is returned, otherwise 0. There is an error message if the file can't be created or when writing fails. Also see \|readfile()\|. To copy a file byte for byte: > :let fl = readfile("foo", "b") :call writefile(fl, "foocopy", "b") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->writefile("thefile") xor({expr}, {expr}) xor() Bitwise XOR on the two arguments. The arguments are converted to a number. A List, Dict or Float argument causes an error. Example: > :let bits = xor(bits, 0x80) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > :let bits = bits->xor(0x80) < feature-list There are three types of features: 1. Features that are only supported when they have been enabled when Vim was compiled \|+feature-list\|. Example: > :if has("cindent") 2. Features that are only supported when certain conditions have been met. Example: > :if has("gui_running") < has-patch 3. Beyond a certain version or at a certain version and including a specific patch. The "patch-7.4.248" feature means that the Vim version is 7.5 or later, or it is version 7.4 and patch 248 was included. Example: > :if has("patch-7.4.248") < Note that it's possible for patch 248 to be omitted even though 249 is included. Only happens when cherry-picking patches. Note that this form only works for patch 7.4.237 and later, before that you need to check for the patch and the v:version. Example (checking version 6.2.148 or later): > :if v:version > 602 \|\| (v:version == 602 && has("patch148")) Hint: To find out if Vim supports backslashes in a file name (MS-Windows), use: `if exists('+shellslash')` acl Compiled with \|ACL\| support. all_builtin_terms Compiled with all builtin terminals enabled. amiga Amiga version of Vim. arabic Compiled with Arabic support \|Arabic\|. arp Compiled with ARP support (Amiga). autocmd Compiled with autocommand support.

When a pattern is used to find a match in a String, almost everything works in the same way. The difference is that a String is handled like it is one line. When it contains a "\n" character, this is not seen as a line break for the pattern. It can be matched with a "\n" in the pattern, or with ".". Example: > :let a = "aaaa\nxxxx" :echo matchstr(a, "..\n..") aa xx :echo matchstr(a, "a.x") a x Don't forget that "^" will only match at the first character of the String and "$" at the last character of the string. They don't match after or before a "\n". ============================================================================== 5. Defining functions user-functions New functions can be defined. These can be called just like builtin functions. The function executes a sequence of Ex commands. Normal mode commands can be executed with the \|:normal\| command. This section is about the legacy functions. For the Vim9 functions, which execute much faster, support type checking and more, see \|vim9.txt\|. The function name must start with an uppercase letter, to avoid confusion with builtin functions. To prevent from using the same name in different scripts avoid obvious, short names. A good habit is to start the function name with the name of the script, e.g., "HTMLcolor()". It's also possible to use curly braces, see \|curly-braces-names\|. And the \|autoload\| facility is useful to define a function only when it's called. local-function A function local to a script must start with "s:". A local script function can only be called from within the script and from functions, user commands and autocommands defined in the script. It is also possible to call the function from a mapping defined in the script, but then \|<SID>\| must be used instead of "s:" when the mapping is expanded outside of the script. There are only script-local functions, no buffer-local or window-local functions. :fu :function E128 E129 E123 :fu[nction] List all functions and their arguments. :fu[nction] {name} List function {name}. {name} can also be a \|Dictionary\| entry that is a \|Funcref\|: > :function dict.init :fu[nction] /{pattern} List functions with a name matching {pattern}. Example that lists all functions ending with "File": > :function /File$ < :function-verbose When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing a function will also display where it was last defined. Example: > :verbose function SetFileTypeSH function SetFileTypeSH(name) Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim-7.0/filetype.vim < See \|:verbose-cmd\| for more information. E124 E125 E853 E884 :fu[nction][!] {name}([arguments]) [range] [abort] [dict] [closure] Define a new function by the name {name}. The body of the function follows in the next lines, until the matching \|:endfunction\|. The name must be made of alphanumeric characters and '_', and must start with a capital or "s:" (see above). Note that using "b:" or "g:" is not allowed. (since patch 7.4.260 E884 is given if the function name has a colon in the name, e.g. for "foo:bar()". Before that patch no error was given). {name} can also be a \|Dictionary\| entry that is a \|Funcref\|: > :function dict.init(arg) < "dict" must be an existing dictionary. The entry "init" is added if it didn't exist yet. Otherwise [!] is required to overwrite an existing function. The result is a \|Funcref\| to a numbered function. The function can only be used with a \|Funcref\| and will be deleted if there are no more references to it. E127 E122 When a function by this name already exists and [!] is not used an error message is given. There is one exception: When sourcing a script again, a function that was previously defined in that script will be silently replaced. When [!] is used, an existing function is silently replaced. Unless it is currently being executed, that is an error. NOTE: Use ! wisely. If used without care it can cause an existing function to be replaced unexpectedly, which is hard to debug. NOTE: In Vim9 script script-local functions cannot be deleted or redefined. For the {arguments} see \|function-argument\|. :func-range a:firstline a:lastline When the [range] argument is added, the function is expected to take care of a range itself. The range is passed as "a:firstline" and "a:lastline". If [range] is excluded, ":{range}call" will call the function for each line in the range, with the cursor on the start of each line. See \|function-range-example\|. The cursor is still moved to the first line of the range, as is the case with all Ex commands. :func-abort When the [abort] argument is added, the function will abort as soon as an error is detected. :func-dict When the [dict] argument is added, the function must be invoked through an entry in a \|Dictionary\|. The local variable "self" will then be set to the dictionary. See \|Dictionary-function\|. :func-closure E932 When the [closure] argument is added, the function can access variables and arguments from the outer scope. This is usually called a closure. In this example Bar() uses "x" from the scope of Foo(). It remains referenced even after Foo() returns: > :function! Foo() : let x = 0 : function! Bar() closure : let x += 1 : return x : endfunction : return funcref('Bar') :endfunction :let F = Foo() :echo F() < 1 > :echo F() < 2 > :echo F() < 3 function-search-undo The last used search pattern and the redo command "." will not be changed by the function. This also implies that the effect of \|:nohlsearch\| is undone when the function returns. :endf :endfunction E126 E193 W22 :endf[unction] [argument] The end of a function definition. Best is to put it on a line by its own, without [argument]. [argument] can be: \| command command to execute next \n command command to execute next " comment always ignored anything else ignored, warning given when 'verbose' is non-zero The support for a following command was added in Vim 8.0.0654, before that any argument was silently ignored. To be able to define a function inside an `:execute` command, use line breaks instead of \|:bar\|: > :exe "func Foo()\necho 'foo'\nendfunc" < :delf :delfunction E130 E131 E933 :delf[unction][!] {name} Delete function {name}. {name} can also be a \|Dictionary\| entry that is a \|Funcref\|: > :delfunc dict.init < This will remove the "init" entry from "dict". The function is deleted if there are no more references to it. With the ! there is no error if the function does not exist. :retu :return E133 :retu[rn] [expr] Return from a function. When "[expr]" is given, it is evaluated and returned as the result of the function. If "[expr]" is not given, the number 0 is returned. When a function ends without an explicit ":return", the number 0 is returned. Note that there is no check for unreachable lines, thus there is no warning if commands follow ":return". If the ":return" is used after a \|:try\| but before the matching \|:finally\| (if present), the commands following the ":finally" up to the matching \|:endtry\| are executed first. This process applies to all nested ":try"s inside the function. The function returns at the outermost ":endtry". function-argument a:var An argument can be defined by giving its name. In the function this can then be used as "a:name" ("a:" for argument). a:0 a:1 a:000 E740 ... Up to 20 arguments can be given, separated by commas. After the named arguments an argument "..." can be specified, which means that more arguments may optionally be following. In the function the extra arguments can be used as "a:1", "a:2", etc. "a:0" is set to the number of extra arguments (which can be 0). "a:000" is set to a \|List\| that contains these arguments. Note that "a:1" is the same as "a:000[0]". E742 The a: scope and the variables in it cannot be changed, they are fixed. However, if a composite type is used, such as \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| , you can change their contents. Thus you can pass a \|List\| to a function and have the function add an item to it. If you want to make sure the function cannot change a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| use \|:lockvar\|. It is also possible to define a function without any arguments. You must still supply the () then. It is allowed to define another function inside a function body. optional-function-argument You can provide default values for positional named arguments. This makes them optional for function calls. When a positional argument is not specified at a call, the default expression is used to initialize it. This only works for functions declared with `:function` or `:def`, not for lambda expressions \|expr-lambda\|. Example: > function Something(key, value = 10) echo a:key .. ": " .. a:value endfunction call Something('empty') "empty: 10" call Something('key', 20) "key: 20" The argument default expressions are evaluated at the time of the function call, not definition. Thus it is possible to use an expression which is invalid the moment the function is defined. The expressions are also only evaluated when arguments are not specified during a call. none-function_argument You can pass \|v:none\| to use the default expression. Note that this means you cannot pass v:none as an ordinary value when an argument has a default expression. Example: > function Something(a = 10, b = 20, c = 30) endfunction call Something(1, v:none, 3) " b = 20 < E989 Optional arguments with default expressions must occur after any mandatory arguments. You can use "..." after all optional named arguments. It is possible for later argument defaults to refer to prior arguments, but not the other way around. They must be prefixed with "a:", as with all arguments. Example that works: > :function Okay(mandatory, optional = a:mandatory) :endfunction Example that does NOT work: > :function NoGood(first = a:second, second = 10) :endfunction < When not using "...", the number of arguments in a function call must be at least equal to the number of mandatory named arguments. When using "...", the number of arguments may be larger than the total of mandatory and optional arguments. local-variables Inside a function local variables can be used. These will disappear when the function returns. Global variables need to be accessed with "g:". Example: > :function Table(title, ...) : echohl Title : echo a:title : echohl None : echo a:0 . " items:" : for s in a:000 : echon ' ' . s : endfor :endfunction This function can then be called with: > call Table("Table", "line1", "line2") call Table("Empty Table") To return more than one value, return a \|List\|: > :function Compute(n1, n2) : if a:n2 == 0 : return ["fail", 0] : endif : return ["ok", a:n1 / a:n2] :endfunction This function can then be called with: > :let [success, div] = Compute(102, 6) :if success == "ok" : echo div :endif < :cal :call E107 E117 :[range]cal[l] {name}([arguments]) Call a function. The name of the function and its arguments are as specified with `:function`. Up to 20 arguments can be used. The returned value is discarded. Without a range and for functions that accept a range, the function is called once. When a range is given the cursor is positioned at the start of the first line before executing the function. When a range is given and the function doesn't handle it itself, the function is executed for each line in the range, with the cursor in the first column of that line. The cursor is left at the last line (possibly moved by the last function call). The arguments are re-evaluated for each line. Thus this works: function-range-example > :function Mynumber(arg) : echo line(".") . " " . a:arg :endfunction :1,5call Mynumber(getline(".")) < The "a:firstline" and "a:lastline" are defined anyway, they can be used to do something different at the start or end of the range. Example of a function that handles the range itself: > :function Cont() range : execute (a:firstline + 1) . "," . a:lastline . 's/^/\t\\ ' :endfunction :4,8call Cont() < This function inserts the continuation character "\" in front of all the lines in the range, except the first one. When the function returns a composite value it can be further dereferenced, but the range will not be used then. Example: > :4,8call GetDict().method() < Here GetDict() gets the range but method() does not. E132 The recursiveness of user functions is restricted with the \|'maxfuncdepth'\| option. It is also possible to use `:eval`. It does not support a range, but does allow for method chaining, e.g.: > eval GetList()->Filter()->append('$') A function can also be called as part of evaluating an expression or when it is used as a method: > let x = GetList() let y = GetList()->Filter() AUTOMATICALLY LOADING FUNCTIONS ~ autoload-functions When using many or large functions, it's possible to automatically define them only when they are used. There are two methods: with an autocommand and with the "autoload" directory in 'runtimepath'. Using an autocommand ~ This is introduced in the user manual, section \|41.14\|. The autocommand is useful if you have a plugin that is a long Vim script file. You can define the autocommand and quickly quit the script with `:finish`. That makes Vim startup faster. The autocommand should then load the same file again, setting a variable to skip the `:finish` command. Use the FuncUndefined autocommand event with a pattern that matches the function(s) to be defined. Example: > :au FuncUndefined BufNet* source ~/vim/bufnetfuncs.vim The file "~/vim/bufnetfuncs.vim" should then define functions that start with "BufNet". Also see \|FuncUndefined\|. Using an autoload script ~ autoload E746 This is introduced in the user manual, section \|41.15\|. Using a script in the "autoload" directory is simpler, but requires using exactly the right file name. A function that can be autoloaded has a name like this: > :call filename#funcname() These functions are always global, in Vim9 script "g:" needs to be used: > :call g:filename#funcname() When such a function is called, and it is not defined yet, Vim will search the "autoload" directories in 'runtimepath' for a script file called "filename.vim". For example "~/.vim/autoload/filename.vim". That file should then define the function like this: > function filename#funcname() echo "Done!" endfunction The file name and the name used before the # in the function must match exactly, and the defined function must have the name exactly as it will be called. In Vim9 script the "g:" prefix must be used: > function g:filename#funcname() or for a compiled function: > def g:filename#funcname() It is possible to use subdirectories. Every # in the function name works like a path separator. Thus when calling a function: > :call foo#bar#func() Vim will look for the file "autoload/foo/bar.vim" in 'runtimepath'. This also works when reading a variable that has not been set yet: > :let l = foo#bar#lvar However, when the autoload script was already loaded it won't be loaded again for an unknown variable. When assigning a value to such a variable nothing special happens. This can be used to pass settings to the autoload script before it's loaded: > :let foo#bar#toggle = 1 :call foo#bar#func() Note that when you make a mistake and call a function that is supposed to be defined in an autoload script, but the script doesn't actually define the function, you will get an error message for the missing function. If you fix the autoload script it won't be automatically loaded again. Either restart Vim or manually source the script. Also note that if you have two script files, and one calls a function in the other and vice versa, before the used function is defined, it won't work. Avoid using the autoload functionality at the toplevel. Hint: If you distribute a bunch of scripts you can pack them together with the \|vimball\| utility. Also read the user manual \|distribute-script\|. ============================================================================== 6. Curly braces names curly-braces-names In most places where you can use a variable, you can use a "curly braces name" variable. This is a regular variable name with one or more expressions wrapped in braces {} like this: > my_{adjective}_variable When Vim encounters this, it evaluates the expression inside the braces, puts that in place of the expression, and re-interprets the whole as a variable name. So in the above example, if the variable "adjective" was set to "noisy", then the reference would be to "my_noisy_variable", whereas if "adjective" was set to "quiet", then it would be to "my_quiet_variable". One application for this is to create a set of variables governed by an option value. For example, the statement > echo my_{&background}_message would output the contents of "my_dark_message" or "my_light_message" depending on the current value of 'background'. You can use multiple brace pairs: > echo my_{adverb}_{adjective}_message ..or even nest them: > echo my_{ad{end_of_word}}_message where "end_of_word" is either "verb" or "jective". However, the expression inside the braces must evaluate to a valid single variable name, e.g. this is invalid: > :let foo='a + b' :echo c{foo}d .. since the result of expansion is "ca + bd", which is not a variable name. curly-braces-function-names You can call and define functions by an evaluated name in a similar way. Example: > :let func_end='whizz' :call my_func_{func_end}(parameter) This would call the function "my_func_whizz(parameter)". This does NOT work: > :let i = 3 :let @{i} = '' " error :echo @{i} " error ============================================================================== 7. Commands expression-commands Note: in Vim9 script `:let` is used for variable declaration, not assignment. An assignment leaves out the `:let` command. \|vim9-declaration\| :let {var-name} = {expr1} :let E18 Set internal variable {var-name} to the result of the expression {expr1}. The variable will get the type from the {expr}. If {var-name} didn't exist yet, it is created. :let {var-name}[{idx}] = {expr1} E689 Set a list item to the result of the expression {expr1}. {var-name} must refer to a list and {idx} must be a valid index in that list. For nested list the index can be repeated. This cannot be used to add an item to a \|List\|. This cannot be used to set a byte in a String. You can do that like this: > :let var = var[0:2] . 'X' . var[4:] < When {var-name} is a \|Blob\| then {idx} can be the length of the blob, in which case one byte is appended. E711 E719 :let {var-name}[{idx1}:{idx2}] = {expr1} E708 E709 E710 Set a sequence of items in a \|List\| to the result of the expression {expr1}, which must be a list with the correct number of items. {idx1} can be omitted, zero is used instead. {idx2} can be omitted, meaning the end of the list. When the selected range of items is partly past the end of the list, items will be added. :let+= :let-= :letstar= :let/= :let%= :let.= :let..= E734 E985 :let {var} += {expr1} Like ":let {var} = {var} + {expr1}". :let {var} -= {expr1} Like ":let {var} = {var} - {expr1}". :let {var} = {expr1} Like ":let {var} = {var} {expr1}". :let {var} /= {expr1} Like ":let {var} = {var} / {expr1}". :let {var} %= {expr1} Like ":let {var} = {var} % {expr1}". :let {var} .= {expr1} Like ":let {var} = {var} . {expr1}". :let {var} ..= {expr1} Like ":let {var} = {var} .. {expr1}". These fail if {var} was not set yet and when the type of {var} and {expr1} don't fit the operator. `.=` is not supported with Vim script version 2 and later, see \|vimscript-version\|. :let ${env-name} = {expr1} :let-environment :let-$ Set environment variable {env-name} to the result of the expression {expr1}. The type is always String. On some systems making an environment variable empty causes it to be deleted. Many systems do not make a difference between an environment variable that is not set and an environment variable that is empty. :let ${env-name} .= {expr1} Append {expr1} to the environment variable {env-name}. If the environment variable didn't exist yet this works like "=". :let @{reg-name} = {expr1} :let-register :let-@ Write the result of the expression {expr1} in register {reg-name}. {reg-name} must be a single letter, and must be the name of a writable register (see \|registers\|). "@@" can be used for the unnamed register, "@/" for the search pattern. If the result of {expr1} ends in a <CR> or <NL>, the register will be linewise, otherwise it will be set to characterwise. This can be used to clear the last search pattern: > :let @/ = "" < This is different from searching for an empty string, that would match everywhere. :let @{reg-name} .= {expr1} Append {expr1} to register {reg-name}. If the register was empty it's like setting it to {expr1}. :let &{option-name} = {expr1} :let-option :let-& Set option {option-name} to the result of the expression {expr1}. A String or Number value is always converted to the type of the option. For an option local to a window or buffer the effect is just like using the \|:set\| command: both the local value and the global value are changed. Example: > :let &path = &path . ',/usr/local/include' < This also works for terminal codes in the form t_xx. But only for alphanumerical names. Example: > :let &t_k1 = "\<Esc>[234;" < When the code does not exist yet it will be created as a terminal key code, there is no error. :let &{option-name} .= {expr1} For a string option: Append {expr1} to the value. Does not insert a comma like \|:set+=\|. :let &{option-name} += {expr1} :let &{option-name} -= {expr1} For a number or boolean option: Add or subtract {expr1}. :let &l:{option-name} = {expr1} :let &l:{option-name} .= {expr1} :let &l:{option-name} += {expr1} :let &l:{option-name} -= {expr1} Like above, but only set the local value of an option (if there is one). Works like \|:setlocal\|. :let &g:{option-name} = {expr1} :let &g:{option-name} .= {expr1} :let &g:{option-name} += {expr1} :let &g:{option-name} -= {expr1} Like above, but only set the global value of an option (if there is one). Works like \|:setglobal\|. :let [{name1}, {name2}, ...] = {expr1} :let-unpack E687 E688 {expr1} must evaluate to a \|List\|. The first item in the list is assigned to {name1}, the second item to {name2}, etc. The number of names must match the number of items in the \|List\|. Each name can be one of the items of the ":let" command as mentioned above. Example: > :let [s, item] = GetItem(s) < Detail: {expr1} is evaluated first, then the assignments are done in sequence. This matters if {name2} depends on {name1}. Example: > :let x = [0, 1] :let i = 0 :let [i, x[i]] = [1, 2] :echo x < The result is [0, 2]. :let [{name1}, {name2}, ...] .= {expr1} :let [{name1}, {name2}, ...] += {expr1} :let [{name1}, {name2}, ...] -= {expr1} Like above, but append/add/subtract the value for each \|List\| item. :let [{name}, ..., ; {lastname}] = {expr1} E452 Like \|:let-unpack\| above, but the \|List\| may have more items than there are names. A list of the remaining items is assigned to {lastname}. If there are no remaining items {lastname} is set to an empty list. Example: > :let [a, b; rest] = ["aval", "bval", 3, 4] < :let [{name}, ..., ; {lastname}] .= {expr1} :let [{name}, ..., ; {lastname}] += {expr1} :let [{name}, ..., ; {lastname}] -= {expr1} Like above, but append/add/subtract the value for each \|List\| item. :let=<< :let-heredoc E990 E991 E172 E221 :let {var-name} =<< [trim] {endmarker} text... text... {endmarker} Set internal variable {var-name} to a \|List\| containing the lines of text bounded by the string {endmarker}. The lines of text is used as a \|literal-string\|. {endmarker} must not contain white space. {endmarker} cannot start with a lower case character. The last line should end only with the {endmarker} string without any other character. Watch out for white space after {endmarker}! Without "trim" any white space characters in the lines of text are preserved. If "trim" is specified before {endmarker}, then indentation is stripped so you can do: > let text =<< trim END if ok echo 'done' endif END < Results in: ["if ok", " echo 'done'", "endif"] The marker must line up with "let" and the indentation of the first line is removed from all the text lines. Specifically: all the leading indentation exactly matching the leading indentation of the first non-empty text line is stripped from the input lines. All leading indentation exactly matching the leading indentation before `let` is stripped from the line containing {endmarker}. Note that the difference between space and tab matters here. If {var-name} didn't exist yet, it is created. Cannot be followed by another command, but can be followed by a comment. To avoid line continuation to be applied, consider adding 'C' to 'cpoptions': > set cpo+=C let var =<< END \ leading backslash END set cpo-=C < Examples: > let var1 =<< END Sample text 1 Sample text 2 Sample text 3 END let data =<< trim DATA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 DATA < E121 :let {var-name} .. List the value of variable {var-name}. Multiple variable names may be given. Special names recognized here: E738 g: global variables b: local buffer variables w: local window variables t: local tab page variables s: script-local variables l: local function variables v: Vim variables. This does not work in Vim9 script. \|vim9-declaration\| :let List the values of all variables. The type of the variable is indicated before the value: <nothing> String # Number * Funcref This does not work in Vim9 script. \|vim9-declaration\| :unl[et][!] {name} ... :unlet :unl E108 E795 Remove the internal variable {name}. Several variable names can be given, they are all removed. The name may also be a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| item. With [!] no error message is given for non-existing variables. One or more items from a \|List\| can be removed: > :unlet list[3] " remove fourth item :unlet list[3:] " remove fourth item to last < One item from a \|Dictionary\| can be removed at a time: > :unlet dict['two'] :unlet dict.two < This is especially useful to clean up used global variables and script-local variables (these are not deleted when the script ends). Function-local variables are automatically deleted when the function ends. :unl[et] ${env-name} ... :unlet-environment :unlet-$ Remove environment variable {env-name}. Can mix {name} and ${env-name} in one :unlet command. No error message is given for a non-existing variable, also without !. If the system does not support deleting an environment variable, it is made empty. :cons :const :cons[t] {var-name} = {expr1} :cons[t] [{name1}, {name2}, ...] = {expr1} :cons[t] [{name}, ..., ; {lastname}] = {expr1} :cons[t] {var-name} =<< [trim] {marker} text... text... {marker} Similar to \|:let\|, but additionally lock the variable after setting the value. This is the same as locking the variable with \|:lockvar\| just after \|:let\|, thus: > :const x = 1 < is equivalent to: > :let x = 1 :lockvar! x < NOTE: in Vim9 script `:const` works differently, see \|vim9-const\| This is useful if you want to make sure the variable is not modified. If the value is a List or Dictionary literal then the items also cannot be changed: > const ll = [1, 2, 3] let ll[1] = 5 " Error! < Nested references are not locked: > let lvar = ['a'] const lconst = [0, lvar] let lconst[0] = 2 " Error! let lconst[1][0] = 'b' " OK < E995 \|:const\| does not allow to for changing a variable: > :let x = 1 :const x = 2 " Error! < E996 Note that environment variables, option values and register values cannot be used here, since they cannot be locked. :cons[t] :cons[t] {var-name} If no argument is given or only {var-name} is given, the behavior is the same as \|:let\|. :lockv[ar][!] [depth] {name} ... :lockvar :lockv Lock the internal variable {name}. Locking means that it can no longer be changed (until it is unlocked). A locked variable can be deleted: > :lockvar v :let v = 'asdf' " fails! :unlet v < E741 E940 If you try to change a locked variable you get an error message: "E741: Value is locked: {name}". If you try to lock or unlock a built-in variable you get an error message: "E940: Cannot lock or unlock variable {name}". [depth] is relevant when locking a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\|. It specifies how deep the locking goes: 0 Lock the variable {name} but not its value. 1 Lock the \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| itself, cannot add or remove items, but can still change their values. 2 Also lock the values, cannot change the items. If an item is a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\|, cannot add or remove items, but can still change the values. 3 Like 2 but for the \|List\| / \|Dictionary\| in the \|List\| / \|Dictionary\|, one level deeper. The default [depth] is 2, thus when {name} is a \|List\| or \|Dictionary\| the values cannot be changed. Example with [depth] 0: > let mylist = [1, 2, 3] lockvar 0 mylist let mylist[0] = 77 " OK call add(mylist, 4] " OK let mylist = [7, 8, 9] " Error! < E743 For unlimited depth use [!] and omit [depth]. However, there is a maximum depth of 100 to catch loops. Note that when two variables refer to the same \|List\| and you lock one of them, the \|List\| will also be locked when used through the other variable. Example: > :let l = [0, 1, 2, 3] :let cl = l :lockvar l :let cl[1] = 99 " won't work! < You may want to make a copy of a list to avoid this. See \|deepcopy()\|. :unlo[ckvar][!] [depth] {name} ... :unlockvar :unlo Unlock the internal variable {name}. Does the opposite of \|:lockvar\|. :if {expr1} :if :end :endif :en E171 E579 E580 :en[dif] Execute the commands until the next matching ":else" or ":endif" if {expr1} evaluates to non-zero. From Vim version 4.5 until 5.0, every Ex command in between the ":if" and ":endif" is ignored. These two commands were just to allow for future expansions in a backward compatible way. Nesting was allowed. Note that any ":else" or ":elseif" was ignored, the "else" part was not executed either. You can use this to remain compatible with older versions: > :if version >= 500 : version-5-specific-commands :endif < The commands still need to be parsed to find the "endif". Sometimes an older Vim has a problem with a new command. For example, ":silent" is recognized as a ":substitute" command. In that case ":execute" can avoid problems: > :if version >= 600 : execute "silent 1,$delete" :endif < NOTE: The ":append" and ":insert" commands don't work properly in between ":if" and ":endif". :else :el E581 E583 :el[se] Execute the commands until the next matching ":else" or ":endif" if they previously were not being executed. :elseif :elsei E582 E584 :elsei[f] {expr1} Short for ":else" ":if", with the addition that there is no extra ":endif". :wh[ile] {expr1} :while :endwhile :wh :endw E170 E585 E588 E733 :endw[hile] Repeat the commands between ":while" and ":endwhile", as long as {expr1} evaluates to non-zero. When an error is detected from a command inside the loop, execution continues after the "endwhile". Example: > :let lnum = 1 :while lnum <= line("$") :call FixLine(lnum) :let lnum = lnum + 1 :endwhile < NOTE: The ":append" and ":insert" commands don't work properly inside a ":while" and ":for" loop. :for {var} in {object} :for E690 E732 :endfo[r] :endfo :endfor Repeat the commands between ":for" and ":endfor" for each item in {object}. {object} can be a \|List\| or a \|Blob\|. Variable {var} is set to the value of each item. When an error is detected for a command inside the loop, execution continues after the "endfor". Changing {object} inside the loop affects what items are used. Make a copy if this is unwanted: > :for item in copy(mylist) < When {object} is a \|List\| and not making a copy, Vim stores a reference to the next item in the \|List\| before executing the commands with the current item. Thus the current item can be removed without effect. Removing any later item means it will not be found. Thus the following example works (an inefficient way to make a \|List\| empty): > for item in mylist call remove(mylist, 0) endfor < Note that reordering the \|List\| (e.g., with sort() or reverse()) may have unexpected effects. When {object} is a \|Blob\|, Vim always makes a copy to iterate over. Unlike with \|List\|, modifying the \|Blob\| does not affect the iteration. :for [{var1}, {var2}, ...] in {listlist} :endfo[r] Like ":for" above, but each item in {listlist} must be a list, of which each item is assigned to {var1}, {var2}, etc. Example: > :for [lnum, col] in [[1, 3], [2, 5], [3, 8]] :echo getline(lnum)[col] :endfor < :continue :con E586 :con[tinue] When used inside a ":while" or ":for" loop, jumps back to the start of the loop. If it is used after a \|:try\| inside the loop but before the matching \|:finally\| (if present), the commands following the ":finally" up to the matching \|:endtry\| are executed first. This process applies to all nested ":try"s inside the loop. The outermost ":endtry" then jumps back to the start of the loop. :break :brea E587 :brea[k] When used inside a ":while" or ":for" loop, skips to the command after the matching ":endwhile" or ":endfor". If it is used after a \|:try\| inside the loop but before the matching \|:finally\| (if present), the commands following the ":finally" up to the matching \|:endtry\| are executed first. This process applies to all nested ":try"s inside the loop. The outermost ":endtry" then jumps to the command after the loop. :try :try :endt :endtry E600 E601 E602 :endt[ry] Change the error handling for the commands between ":try" and ":endtry" including everything being executed across ":source" commands, function calls, or autocommand invocations. When an error or interrupt is detected and there is a \|:finally\| command following, execution continues after the ":finally". Otherwise, or when the ":endtry" is reached thereafter, the next (dynamically) surrounding ":try" is checked for a corresponding ":finally" etc. Then the script processing is terminated. Whether a function definition has an "abort" argument does not matter. Example: > try \| call Unknown() \| finally \| echomsg "cleanup" \| endtry echomsg "not reached" < Moreover, an error or interrupt (dynamically) inside ":try" and ":endtry" is converted to an exception. It can be caught as if it were thrown by a \|:throw\| command (see \|:catch\|). In this case, the script processing is not terminated. The value "Vim:Interrupt" is used for an interrupt exception. An error in a Vim command is converted to a value of the form "Vim({command}):{errmsg}", other errors are converted to a value of the form "Vim:{errmsg}". {command} is the full command name, and {errmsg} is the message that is displayed if the error exception is not caught, always beginning with the error number. Examples: > try \| sleep 100 \| catch /^Vim:Interrupt$/ \| endtry try \| edit \| catch /^Vim(edit):E\d\+/ \| echo "error" \| endtry < :cat :catch E603 E604 E605 :cat[ch] /{pattern}/ The following commands until the next \|:catch\|, \|:finally\|, or \|:endtry\| that belongs to the same \|:try\| as the ":catch" are executed when an exception matching {pattern} is being thrown and has not yet been caught by a previous ":catch". Otherwise, these commands are skipped. When {pattern} is omitted all errors are caught. Examples: > :catch /^Vim:Interrupt$/ " catch interrupts (CTRL-C) :catch /^Vim\%((\a\+)\)\=:E/ " catch all Vim errors :catch /^Vim\%((\a\+)\)\=:/ " catch errors and interrupts :catch /^Vim(write):/ " catch all errors in :write :catch /^Vim\%((\a\+)\)\=:E123:/ " catch error E123 :catch /my-exception/ " catch user exception :catch /./ " catch everything :catch " same as /./ < Another character can be used instead of / around the {pattern}, so long as it does not have a special meaning (e.g., '\|' or '"') and doesn't occur inside {pattern}. Information about the exception is available in \|v:exception\|. Also see \|throw-variables\|. NOTE: It is not reliable to ":catch" the TEXT of an error message because it may vary in different locales. :fina :finally E606 E607 :fina[lly] The following commands until the matching \|:endtry\| are executed whenever the part between the matching \|:try\| and the ":finally" is left: either by falling through to the ":finally" or by a \|:continue\|, \|:break\|, \|:finish\|, or \|:return\|, or by an error or interrupt or exception (see \|:throw\|). :th :throw E608 :th[row] {expr1} The {expr1} is evaluated and thrown as an exception. If the ":throw" is used after a \|:try\| but before the first corresponding \|:catch\|, commands are skipped until the first ":catch" matching {expr1} is reached. If there is no such ":catch" or if the ":throw" is used after a ":catch" but before the \|:finally\|, the commands following the ":finally" (if present) up to the matching \|:endtry\| are executed. If the ":throw" is after the ":finally", commands up to the ":endtry" are skipped. At the ":endtry", this process applies again for the next dynamically surrounding ":try" (which may be found in a calling function or sourcing script), until a matching ":catch" has been found. If the exception is not caught, the command processing is terminated. Example: > :try \| throw "oops" \| catch /^oo/ \| echo "caught" \| endtry < Note that "catch" may need to be on a separate line for when an error causes the parsing to skip the whole line and not see the "\|" that separates the commands. :ec :echo :ec[ho] {expr1} .. Echoes each {expr1}, with a space in between. The first {expr1} starts on a new line. Also see \|:comment\|. Use "\n" to start a new line. Use "\r" to move the cursor to the first column. Uses the highlighting set by the \|:echohl\| command. Cannot be followed by a comment. Example: > :echo "the value of 'shell' is" &shell < :echo-redraw A later redraw may make the message disappear again. And since Vim mostly postpones redrawing until it's finished with a sequence of commands this happens quite often. To avoid that a command from before the ":echo" causes a redraw afterwards (redraws are often postponed until you type something), force a redraw with the \|:redraw\| command. Example: > :new \| redraw \| echo "there is a new window" < :echon :echon {expr1} .. Echoes each {expr1}, without anything added. Also see \|:comment\|. Uses the highlighting set by the \|:echohl\| command. Cannot be followed by a comment. Example: > :echon "the value of 'shell' is " &shell < Note the difference between using ":echo", which is a Vim command, and ":!echo", which is an external shell command: > :!echo % --> filename < The arguments of ":!" are expanded, see \|:_%\|. > :!echo "%" --> filename or "filename" < Like the previous example. Whether you see the double quotes or not depends on your 'shell'. > :echo % --> nothing < The '%' is an illegal character in an expression. > :echo "%" --> % < This just echoes the '%' character. > :echo expand("%") --> filename < This calls the expand() function to expand the '%'. :echoh :echohl :echoh[l] {name} Use the highlight group {name} for the following \|:echo\|, \|:echon\| and \|:echomsg\| commands. Also used for the \|input()\| prompt. Example: > :echohl WarningMsg \| echo "Don't panic!" \| echohl None < Don't forget to set the group back to "None", otherwise all following echo's will be highlighted. :echom :echomsg :echom[sg] {expr1} .. Echo the expression(s) as a true message, saving the message in the \|message-history\|. Spaces are placed between the arguments as with the \|:echo\| command. But unprintable characters are displayed, not interpreted. The parsing works slightly different from \|:echo\|, more like \|:execute\|. All the expressions are first evaluated and concatenated before echoing anything. If expressions does not evaluate to a Number or String, string() is used to turn it into a string. Uses the highlighting set by the \|:echohl\| command. Example: > :echomsg "It's a Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz, as you can plainly see." < See \|:echo-redraw\| to avoid the message disappearing when the screen is redrawn. :echoe :echoerr :echoe[rr] {expr1} .. Echo the expression(s) as an error message, saving the message in the \|message-history\|. When used in a script or function the line number will be added. Spaces are placed between the arguments as with the \|:echomsg\| command. When used inside a try conditional, the message is raised as an error exception instead (see \|try-echoerr\|). Example: > :echoerr "This script just failed!" < If you just want a highlighted message use \|:echohl\|. And to get a beep: > :exe "normal \<Esc>" < :eval :eval {expr} Evaluate {expr} and discard the result. Example: > :eval Getlist()->Filter()->append('$') < The expression is supposed to have a side effect, since the resulting value is not used. In the example the `append()` call appends the List with text to the buffer. This is similar to `:call` but works with any expression. The command can be shortened to `:ev` or `:eva`, but these are hard to recognize and therefore not to be used. The command cannot be followed by "\|" and another command, since "\|" is seen as part of the expression. :exe :execute :exe[cute] {expr1} .. Executes the string that results from the evaluation of {expr1} as an Ex command. Multiple arguments are concatenated, with a space in between. To avoid the extra space use the ".." operator to concatenate strings into one argument. {expr1} is used as the processed command, command line editing keys are not recognized. Cannot be followed by a comment. Examples: > :execute "buffer" nextbuf :execute "normal" count .. "w" < ":execute" can be used to append a command to commands that don't accept a '\|'. Example: > :execute '!ls' \| echo "theend" < ":execute" is also a nice way to avoid having to type control characters in a Vim script for a ":normal" command: > :execute "normal ixxx\<Esc>" < This has an <Esc> character, see \|expr-string\|. Be careful to correctly escape special characters in file names. The \|fnameescape()\| function can be used for Vim commands, \|shellescape()\| for \|:!\| commands. Examples: > :execute "e " .. fnameescape(filename) :execute "!ls " .. shellescape(filename, 1) < Note: The executed string may be any command-line, but starting or ending "if", "while" and "for" does not always work, because when commands are skipped the ":execute" is not evaluated and Vim loses track of where blocks start and end. Also "break" and "continue" should not be inside ":execute". This example does not work, because the ":execute" is not evaluated and Vim does not see the "while", and gives an error for finding an ":endwhile": > :if 0 : execute 'while i > 5' : echo "test" : endwhile :endif < It is allowed to have a "while" or "if" command completely in the executed string: > :execute 'while i < 5 \| echo i \| let i = i + 1 \| endwhile' < :exe-comment ":execute", ":echo" and ":echon" cannot be followed by a comment directly, because they see the '"' as the start of a string. But, you can use '\|' followed by a comment. Example: > :echo "foo" \| "this is a comment ============================================================================== 8. Exception handling exception-handling The Vim script language comprises an exception handling feature. This section explains how it can be used in a Vim script. Exceptions may be raised by Vim on an error or on interrupt, see \|catch-errors\| and \|catch-interrupt\|. You can also explicitly throw an exception by using the ":throw" command, see \|throw-catch\|. TRY CONDITIONALS try-conditionals Exceptions can be caught or can cause cleanup code to be executed. You can use a try conditional to specify catch clauses (that catch exceptions) and/or a finally clause (to be executed for cleanup). A try conditional begins with a \|:try\| command and ends at the matching \|:endtry\| command. In between, you can use a \|:catch\| command to start a catch clause, or a \|:finally\| command to start a finally clause. There may be none or multiple catch clauses, but there is at most one finally clause, which must not be followed by any catch clauses. The lines before the catch clauses and the finally clause is called a try block. > :try : ... : ... TRY BLOCK : ... :catch /{pattern}/ : ... : ... CATCH CLAUSE : ... :catch /{pattern}/ : ... : ... CATCH CLAUSE : ... :finally : ... : ... FINALLY CLAUSE : ... :endtry The try conditional allows to watch code for exceptions and to take the appropriate actions. Exceptions from the try block may be caught. Exceptions from the try block and also the catch clauses may cause cleanup actions. When no exception is thrown during execution of the try block, the control is transferred to the finally clause, if present. After its execution, the script continues with the line following the ":endtry". When an exception occurs during execution of the try block, the remaining lines in the try block are skipped. The exception is matched against the patterns specified as arguments to the ":catch" commands. The catch clause after the first matching ":catch" is taken, other catch clauses are not executed. The catch clause ends when the next ":catch", ":finally", or ":endtry" command is reached - whatever is first. Then, the finally clause (if present) is executed. When the ":endtry" is reached, the script execution continues in the following line as usual. When an exception that does not match any of the patterns specified by the ":catch" commands is thrown in the try block, the exception is not caught by that try conditional and none of the catch clauses is executed. Only the finally clause, if present, is taken. The exception pends during execution of the finally clause. It is resumed at the ":endtry", so that commands after the ":endtry" are not executed and the exception might be caught elsewhere, see \|try-nesting\|. When during execution of a catch clause another exception is thrown, the remaining lines in that catch clause are not executed. The new exception is not matched against the patterns in any of the ":catch" commands of the same try conditional and none of its catch clauses is taken. If there is, however, a finally clause, it is executed, and the exception pends during its execution. The commands following the ":endtry" are not executed. The new exception might, however, be caught elsewhere, see \|try-nesting\|. When during execution of the finally clause (if present) an exception is thrown, the remaining lines in the finally clause are skipped. If the finally clause has been taken because of an exception from the try block or one of the catch clauses, the original (pending) exception is discarded. The commands following the ":endtry" are not executed, and the exception from the finally clause is propagated and can be caught elsewhere, see \|try-nesting\|. The finally clause is also executed, when a ":break" or ":continue" for a ":while" loop enclosing the complete try conditional is executed from the try block or a catch clause. Or when a ":return" or ":finish" is executed from the try block or a catch clause of a try conditional in a function or sourced script, respectively. The ":break", ":continue", ":return", or ":finish" pends during execution of the finally clause and is resumed when the ":endtry" is reached. It is, however, discarded when an exception is thrown from the finally clause. When a ":break" or ":continue" for a ":while" loop enclosing the complete try conditional or when a ":return" or ":finish" is encountered in the finally clause, the rest of the finally clause is skipped, and the ":break", ":continue", ":return" or ":finish" is executed as usual. If the finally clause has been taken because of an exception or an earlier ":break", ":continue", ":return", or ":finish" from the try block or a catch clause, this pending exception or command is discarded. For examples see \|throw-catch\| and \|try-finally\|. NESTING OF TRY CONDITIONALS try-nesting Try conditionals can be nested arbitrarily. That is, a complete try conditional can be put into the try block, a catch clause, or the finally clause of another try conditional. If the inner try conditional does not catch an exception thrown in its try block or throws a new exception from one of its catch clauses or its finally clause, the outer try conditional is checked according to the rules above. If the inner try conditional is in the try block of the outer try conditional, its catch clauses are checked, but otherwise only the finally clause is executed. It does not matter for nesting, whether the inner try conditional is directly contained in the outer one, or whether the outer one sources a script or calls a function containing the inner try conditional. When none of the active try conditionals catches an exception, just their finally clauses are executed. Thereafter, the script processing terminates. An error message is displayed in case of an uncaught exception explicitly thrown by a ":throw" command. For uncaught error and interrupt exceptions implicitly raised by Vim, the error message(s) or interrupt message are shown as usual. For examples see \|throw-catch\|. EXAMINING EXCEPTION HANDLING CODE except-examine Exception handling code can get tricky. If you are in doubt what happens, set 'verbose' to 13 or use the ":13verbose" command modifier when sourcing your script file. Then you see when an exception is thrown, discarded, caught, or finished. When using a verbosity level of at least 14, things pending in a finally clause are also shown. This information is also given in debug mode (see \|debug-scripts\|). THROWING AND CATCHING EXCEPTIONS throw-catch You can throw any number or string as an exception. Use the \|:throw\| command and pass the value to be thrown as argument: > :throw 4711 :throw "string" < throw-expression You can also specify an expression argument. The expression is then evaluated first, and the result is thrown: > :throw 4705 + strlen("string") :throw strpart("strings", 0, 6) An exception might be thrown during evaluation of the argument of the ":throw" command. Unless it is caught there, the expression evaluation is abandoned. The ":throw" command then does not throw a new exception. Example: > :function! Foo(arg) : try : throw a:arg : catch /foo/ : endtry : return 1 :endfunction : :function! Bar() : echo "in Bar" : return 4710 :endfunction : :throw Foo("arrgh") + Bar() This throws "arrgh", and "in Bar" is not displayed since Bar() is not executed. > :throw Foo("foo") + Bar() however displays "in Bar" and throws 4711. Any other command that takes an expression as argument might also be abandoned by an (uncaught) exception during the expression evaluation. The exception is then propagated to the caller of the command. Example: > :if Foo("arrgh") : echo "then" :else : echo "else" :endif Here neither of "then" or "else" is displayed. catch-order Exceptions can be caught by a try conditional with one or more \|:catch\| commands, see \|try-conditionals\|. The values to be caught by each ":catch" command can be specified as a pattern argument. The subsequent catch clause gets executed when a matching exception is caught. Example: > :function! Foo(value) : try : throw a:value : catch /^\d\+$/ : echo "Number thrown" : catch /./ : echo "String thrown" : endtry :endfunction : :call Foo(0x1267) :call Foo('string') The first call to Foo() displays "Number thrown", the second "String thrown". An exception is matched against the ":catch" commands in the order they are specified. Only the first match counts. So you should place the more specific ":catch" first. The following order does not make sense: > : catch /./ : echo "String thrown" : catch /^\d\+$/ : echo "Number thrown" The first ":catch" here matches always, so that the second catch clause is never taken. throw-variables If you catch an exception by a general pattern, you may access the exact value in the variable \|v:exception\|: > : catch /^\d\+$/ : echo "Number thrown. Value is" v:exception You may also be interested where an exception was thrown. This is stored in \|v:throwpoint\|. Note that "v:exception" and "v:throwpoint" are valid for the exception most recently caught as long it is not finished. Example: > :function! Caught() : if v:exception != "" : echo 'Caught "' . v:exception . '" in ' . v:throwpoint : else : echo 'Nothing caught' : endif :endfunction : :function! Foo() : try : try : try : throw 4711 : finally : call Caught() : endtry : catch /./ : call Caught() : throw "oops" : endtry : catch /./ : call Caught() : finally : call Caught() : endtry :endfunction : :call Foo() This displays > Nothing caught Caught "4711" in function Foo, line 4 Caught "oops" in function Foo, line 10 Nothing caught A practical example: The following command ":LineNumber" displays the line number in the script or function where it has been used: > :function! LineNumber() : return substitute(v:throwpoint, '.\D$\d\+$.', '\1', "") :endfunction :command! LineNumber try \| throw "" \| catch \| echo LineNumber() \| endtry < try-nested An exception that is not caught by a try conditional can be caught by a surrounding try conditional: > :try : try : throw "foo" : catch /foobar/ : echo "foobar" : finally : echo "inner finally" : endtry :catch /foo/ : echo "foo" :endtry The inner try conditional does not catch the exception, just its finally clause is executed. The exception is then caught by the outer try conditional. The example displays "inner finally" and then "foo". throw-from-catch You can catch an exception and throw a new one to be caught elsewhere from the catch clause: > :function! Foo() : throw "foo" :endfunction : :function! Bar() : try : call Foo() : catch /foo/ : echo "Caught foo, throw bar" : throw "bar" : endtry :endfunction : :try : call Bar() :catch /./ : echo "Caught" v:exception :endtry This displays "Caught foo, throw bar" and then "Caught bar". rethrow* There is no real rethrow in the Vim script language, but you may throw "v:exception" instead: > :function! Bar() : try : call Foo() : catch /./ : echo "Rethrow" v:exception : throw v:exception : endtry :endfunction < try-echoerr* Note that this method cannot be used to "rethrow" Vim error or interrupt exceptions, because it is not possible to fake Vim internal exceptions. Trying so causes an error exception. You should throw your own exception denoting the situation. If you want to cause a Vim error exception containing the original error exception value, you can use the \|:echoerr\| command: > :try : try : asdf : catch /./ : echoerr v:exception : endtry :catch /./ : echo v:exception :endtry This code displays Vim(echoerr):Vim:E492: Not an editor command: asdf ~ CLEANUP CODE try-finally Scripts often change global settings and restore them at their end. If the user however interrupts the script by pressing CTRL-C, the settings remain in an inconsistent state. The same may happen to you in the development phase of a script when an error occurs or you explicitly throw an exception without catching it. You can solve these problems by using a try conditional with a finally clause for restoring the settings. Its execution is guaranteed on normal control flow, on error, on an explicit ":throw", and on interrupt. (Note that errors and interrupts from inside the try conditional are converted to exceptions. When not caught, they terminate the script after the finally clause has been executed.) Example: > :try : let s:saved_ts = &ts : set ts=17 : : " Do the hard work here. : :finally : let &ts = s:saved_ts : unlet s:saved_ts :endtry This method should be used locally whenever a function or part of a script changes global settings which need to be restored on failure or normal exit of that function or script part. break-finally Cleanup code works also when the try block or a catch clause is left by a ":continue", ":break", ":return", or ":finish". Example: > :let first = 1 :while 1 : try : if first : echo "first" : let first = 0 : continue : else : throw "second" : endif : catch /./ : echo v:exception : break : finally : echo "cleanup" : endtry : echo "still in while" :endwhile :echo "end" This displays "first", "cleanup", "second", "cleanup", and "end". > :function! Foo() : try : return 4711 : finally : echo "cleanup\n" : endtry : echo "Foo still active" :endfunction : :echo Foo() "returned by Foo" This displays "cleanup" and "4711 returned by Foo". You don't need to add an extra ":return" in the finally clause. (Above all, this would override the return value.) except-from-finally* Using either of ":continue", ":break", ":return", ":finish", or ":throw" in a finally clause is possible, but not recommended since it abandons the cleanup actions for the try conditional. But, of course, interrupt and error exceptions might get raised from a finally clause. Example where an error in the finally clause stops an interrupt from working correctly: > :try : try : echo "Press CTRL-C for interrupt" : while 1 : endwhile : finally : unlet novar : endtry :catch /novar/ :endtry :echo "Script still running" :sleep 1 If you need to put commands that could fail into a finally clause, you should think about catching or ignoring the errors in these commands, see \|catch-errors\| and \|ignore-errors\|. CATCHING ERRORS catch-errors If you want to catch specific errors, you just have to put the code to be watched in a try block and add a catch clause for the error message. The presence of the try conditional causes all errors to be converted to an exception. No message is displayed and \|v:errmsg\| is not set then. To find the right pattern for the ":catch" command, you have to know how the format of the error exception is. Error exceptions have the following format: > Vim({cmdname}):{errmsg} or > Vim:{errmsg} {cmdname} is the name of the command that failed; the second form is used when the command name is not known. {errmsg} is the error message usually produced when the error occurs outside try conditionals. It always begins with a capital "E", followed by a two or three-digit error number, a colon, and a space. Examples: The command > :unlet novar normally produces the error message > E108: No such variable: "novar" which is converted inside try conditionals to an exception > Vim(unlet):E108: No such variable: "novar" The command > :dwim normally produces the error message > E492: Not an editor command: dwim which is converted inside try conditionals to an exception > Vim:E492: Not an editor command: dwim You can catch all ":unlet" errors by a > :catch /^Vim(unlet):/ or all errors for misspelled command names by a > :catch /^Vim:E492:/ Some error messages may be produced by different commands: > :function nofunc and > :delfunction nofunc both produce the error message > E128: Function name must start with a capital: nofunc which is converted inside try conditionals to an exception > Vim(function):E128: Function name must start with a capital: nofunc or > Vim(delfunction):E128: Function name must start with a capital: nofunc respectively. You can catch the error by its number independently on the command that caused it if you use the following pattern: > :catch /^Vim(\a\+):E128:/ Some commands like > :let x = novar produce multiple error messages, here: > E121: Undefined variable: novar E15: Invalid expression: novar Only the first is used for the exception value, since it is the most specific one (see \|except-several-errors\|). So you can catch it by > :catch /^Vim(\a\+):E121:/ You can catch all errors related to the name "nofunc" by > :catch /\<nofunc\>/ You can catch all Vim errors in the ":write" and ":read" commands by > :catch /^Vim($write\\|read$):E\d\+:/ You can catch all Vim errors by the pattern > :catch /^Vim$(\a\+)$\=:E\d\+:/ < catch-text NOTE: You should never catch the error message text itself: > :catch /No such variable/ only works in the English locale, but not when the user has selected a different language by the \|:language\| command. It is however helpful to cite the message text in a comment: > :catch /^Vim(\a\+):E108:/ " No such variable IGNORING ERRORS ignore-errors You can ignore errors in a specific Vim command by catching them locally: > :try : write :catch :endtry But you are strongly recommended NOT to use this simple form, since it could catch more than you want. With the ":write" command, some autocommands could be executed and cause errors not related to writing, for instance: > :au BufWritePre * unlet novar There could even be such errors you are not responsible for as a script writer: a user of your script might have defined such autocommands. You would then hide the error from the user. It is much better to use > :try : write :catch /^Vim(write):/ :endtry which only catches real write errors. So catch only what you'd like to ignore intentionally. For a single command that does not cause execution of autocommands, you could even suppress the conversion of errors to exceptions by the ":silent!" command: > :silent! nunmap k This works also when a try conditional is active. CATCHING INTERRUPTS catch-interrupt When there are active try conditionals, an interrupt (CTRL-C) is converted to the exception "Vim:Interrupt". You can catch it like every exception. The script is not terminated, then. Example: > :function! TASK1() : sleep 10 :endfunction :function! TASK2() : sleep 20 :endfunction :while 1 : let command = input("Type a command: ") : try : if command == "" : continue : elseif command == "END" : break : elseif command == "TASK1" : call TASK1() : elseif command == "TASK2" : call TASK2() : else : echo "\nIllegal command:" command : continue : endif : catch /^Vim:Interrupt$/ : echo "\nCommand interrupted" : " Caught the interrupt. Continue with next prompt. : endtry :endwhile You can interrupt a task here by pressing CTRL-C; the script then asks for a new command. If you press CTRL-C at the prompt, the script is terminated. For testing what happens when CTRL-C would be pressed on a specific line in your script, use the debug mode and execute the \|>quit\| or \|>interrupt\| command on that line. See \|debug-scripts\|. CATCHING ALL catch-all The commands > :catch /./ :catch // :catch catch everything, error exceptions, interrupt exceptions and exceptions explicitly thrown by the \|:throw\| command. This is useful at the top level of a script in order to catch unexpected things. Example: > :try : : " do the hard work here : :catch /MyException/ : : " handle known problem : :catch /^Vim:Interrupt$/ : echo "Script interrupted" :catch /./ : echo "Internal error (" . v:exception . ")" : echo " - occurred at " . v:throwpoint :endtry :" end of script Note: Catching all might catch more things than you want. Thus, you are strongly encouraged to catch only for problems that you can really handle by specifying a pattern argument to the ":catch". Example: Catching all could make it nearly impossible to interrupt a script by pressing CTRL-C: > :while 1 : try : sleep 1 : catch : endtry :endwhile EXCEPTIONS AND AUTOCOMMANDS except-autocmd Exceptions may be used during execution of autocommands. Example: > :autocmd User x try :autocmd User x throw "Oops!" :autocmd User x catch :autocmd User x echo v:exception :autocmd User x endtry :autocmd User x throw "Arrgh!" :autocmd User x echo "Should not be displayed" : :try : doautocmd User x :catch : echo v:exception :endtry This displays "Oops!" and "Arrgh!". except-autocmd-Pre For some commands, autocommands get executed before the main action of the command takes place. If an exception is thrown and not caught in the sequence of autocommands, the sequence and the command that caused its execution are abandoned and the exception is propagated to the caller of the command. Example: > :autocmd BufWritePre * throw "FAIL" :autocmd BufWritePre * echo "Should not be displayed" : :try : write :catch : echo "Caught:" v:exception "from" v:throwpoint :endtry Here, the ":write" command does not write the file currently being edited (as you can see by checking 'modified'), since the exception from the BufWritePre autocommand abandons the ":write". The exception is then caught and the script displays: > Caught: FAIL from BufWrite Auto commands for "" < except-autocmd-Post* For some commands, autocommands get executed after the main action of the command has taken place. If this main action fails and the command is inside an active try conditional, the autocommands are skipped and an error exception is thrown that can be caught by the caller of the command. Example: > :autocmd BufWritePost * echo "File successfully written!" : :try : write /i/m/p/o/s/s/i/b/l/e :catch : echo v:exception :endtry This just displays: > Vim(write):E212: Can't open file for writing (/i/m/p/o/s/s/i/b/l/e) If you really need to execute the autocommands even when the main action fails, trigger the event from the catch clause. Example: > :autocmd BufWritePre * set noreadonly :autocmd BufWritePost * set readonly : :try : write /i/m/p/o/s/s/i/b/l/e :catch : doautocmd BufWritePost /i/m/p/o/s/s/i/b/l/e :endtry < You can also use ":silent!": > :let x = "ok" :let v:errmsg = "" :autocmd BufWritePost * if v:errmsg != "" :autocmd BufWritePost * let x = "after fail" :autocmd BufWritePost * endif :try : silent! write /i/m/p/o/s/s/i/b/l/e :catch :endtry :echo x This displays "after fail". If the main action of the command does not fail, exceptions from the autocommands will be catchable by the caller of the command: > :autocmd BufWritePost * throw ":-(" :autocmd BufWritePost * echo "Should not be displayed" : :try : write :catch : echo v:exception :endtry < except-autocmd-Cmd For some commands, the normal action can be replaced by a sequence of autocommands. Exceptions from that sequence will be catchable by the caller of the command. Example: For the ":write" command, the caller cannot know whether the file had actually been written when the exception occurred. You need to tell it in some way. > :if !exists("cnt") : let cnt = 0 : : autocmd BufWriteCmd * if &modified : autocmd BufWriteCmd * let cnt = cnt + 1 : autocmd BufWriteCmd * if cnt % 3 == 2 : autocmd BufWriteCmd * throw "BufWriteCmdError" : autocmd BufWriteCmd * endif : autocmd BufWriteCmd * write \| set nomodified : autocmd BufWriteCmd * if cnt % 3 == 0 : autocmd BufWriteCmd * throw "BufWriteCmdError" : autocmd BufWriteCmd * endif : autocmd BufWriteCmd * echo "File successfully written!" : autocmd BufWriteCmd * endif :endif : :try : write :catch /^BufWriteCmdError$/ : if &modified : echo "Error on writing (file contents not changed)" : else : echo "Error after writing" : endif :catch /^Vim(write):/ : echo "Error on writing" :endtry When this script is sourced several times after making changes, it displays first > File successfully written! then > Error on writing (file contents not changed) then > Error after writing etc. except-autocmd-ill You cannot spread a try conditional over autocommands for different events. The following code is ill-formed: > :autocmd BufWritePre * try : :autocmd BufWritePost * catch :autocmd BufWritePost * echo v:exception :autocmd BufWritePost * endtry : :write EXCEPTION HIERARCHIES AND PARAMETERIZED EXCEPTIONS except-hier-param Some programming languages allow to use hierarchies of exception classes or to pass additional information with the object of an exception class. You can do similar things in Vim. In order to throw an exception from a hierarchy, just throw the complete class name with the components separated by a colon, for instance throw the string "EXCEPT:MATHERR:OVERFLOW" for an overflow in a mathematical library. When you want to pass additional information with your exception class, add it in parentheses, for instance throw the string "EXCEPT:IO:WRITEERR(myfile)" for an error when writing "myfile". With the appropriate patterns in the ":catch" command, you can catch for base classes or derived classes of your hierarchy. Additional information in parentheses can be cut out from \|v:exception\| with the ":substitute" command. Example: > :function! CheckRange(a, func) : if a:a < 0 : throw "EXCEPT:MATHERR:RANGE(" . a:func . ")" : endif :endfunction : :function! Add(a, b) : call CheckRange(a:a, "Add") : call CheckRange(a:b, "Add") : let c = a:a + a:b : if c < 0 : throw "EXCEPT:MATHERR:OVERFLOW" : endif : return c :endfunction : :function! Div(a, b) : call CheckRange(a:a, "Div") : call CheckRange(a:b, "Div") : if (a:b == 0) : throw "EXCEPT:MATHERR:ZERODIV" : endif : return a:a / a:b :endfunction : :function! Write(file) : try : execute "write" fnameescape(a:file) : catch /^Vim(write):/ : throw "EXCEPT:IO(" . getcwd() . ", " . a:file . "):WRITEERR" : endtry :endfunction : :try : : " something with arithmetics and I/O : :catch /^EXCEPT:MATHERR:RANGE/ : let function = substitute(v:exception, '.($\a\+$).', '\1', "") : echo "Range error in" function : :catch /^EXCEPT:MATHERR/ " catches OVERFLOW and ZERODIV : echo "Math error" : :catch /^EXCEPT:IO/ : let dir = substitute(v:exception, '.($.\+$,\s.\+).', '\1', "") : let file = substitute(v:exception, '.(.\+,\s$.\+$).', '\1', "") : if file !~ '^/' : let file = dir . "/" . file : endif : echo 'I/O error for "' . file . '"' : :catch /^EXCEPT/ : echo "Unspecified error" : :endtry The exceptions raised by Vim itself (on error or when pressing CTRL-C) use a flat hierarchy: they are all in the "Vim" class. You cannot throw yourself exceptions with the "Vim" prefix; they are reserved for Vim. Vim error exceptions are parameterized with the name of the command that failed, if known. See \|catch-errors\|. PECULIARITIES except-compat The exception handling concept requires that the command sequence causing the exception is aborted immediately and control is transferred to finally clauses and/or a catch clause. In the Vim script language there are cases where scripts and functions continue after an error: in functions without the "abort" flag or in a command after ":silent!", control flow goes to the following line, and outside functions, control flow goes to the line following the outermost ":endwhile" or ":endif". On the other hand, errors should be catchable as exceptions (thus, requiring the immediate abortion). This problem has been solved by converting errors to exceptions and using immediate abortion (if not suppressed by ":silent!") only when a try conditional is active. This is no restriction since an (error) exception can be caught only from an active try conditional. If you want an immediate termination without catching the error, just use a try conditional without catch clause. (You can cause cleanup code being executed before termination by specifying a finally clause.) When no try conditional is active, the usual abortion and continuation behavior is used instead of immediate abortion. This ensures compatibility of scripts written for Vim 6.1 and earlier. However, when sourcing an existing script that does not use exception handling commands (or when calling one of its functions) from inside an active try conditional of a new script, you might change the control flow of the existing script on error. You get the immediate abortion on error and can catch the error in the new script. If however the sourced script suppresses error messages by using the ":silent!" command (checking for errors by testing \|v:errmsg\| if appropriate), its execution path is not changed. The error is not converted to an exception. (See \|:silent\|.) So the only remaining cause where this happens is for scripts that don't care about errors and produce error messages. You probably won't want to use such code from your new scripts. except-syntax-err Syntax errors in the exception handling commands are never caught by any of the ":catch" commands of the try conditional they belong to. Its finally clauses, however, is executed. Example: > :try : try : throw 4711 : catch /\(/ : echo "in catch with syntax error" : catch : echo "inner catch-all" : finally : echo "inner finally" : endtry :catch : echo 'outer catch-all caught "' . v:exception . '"' : finally : echo "outer finally" :endtry This displays: > inner finally outer catch-all caught "Vim(catch):E54: Unmatched \(" outer finally The original exception is discarded and an error exception is raised, instead. except-single-line The ":try", ":catch", ":finally", and ":endtry" commands can be put on a single line, but then syntax errors may make it difficult to recognize the "catch" line, thus you better avoid this. Example: > :try \| unlet! foo # \| catch \| endtry raises an error exception for the trailing characters after the ":unlet!" argument, but does not see the ":catch" and ":endtry" commands, so that the error exception is discarded and the "E488: Trailing characters" message gets displayed. except-several-errors When several errors appear in a single command, the first error message is usually the most specific one and therefor converted to the error exception. Example: > echo novar causes > E121: Undefined variable: novar E15: Invalid expression: novar The value of the error exception inside try conditionals is: > Vim(echo):E121: Undefined variable: novar < except-syntax-error But when a syntax error is detected after a normal error in the same command, the syntax error is used for the exception being thrown. Example: > unlet novar # causes > E108: No such variable: "novar" E488: Trailing characters The value of the error exception inside try conditionals is: > Vim(unlet):E488: Trailing characters This is done because the syntax error might change the execution path in a way not intended by the user. Example: > try try \| unlet novar # \| catch \| echo v:exception \| endtry catch /./ echo "outer catch:" v:exception endtry This displays "outer catch: Vim(unlet):E488: Trailing characters", and then a "E600: Missing :endtry" error message is given, see \|except-single-line\|. ============================================================================== 9. Examples eval-examples* Printing in Binary ~ > :" The function Nr2Bin() returns the binary string representation of a number. :func Nr2Bin(nr) : let n = a:nr : let r = "" : while n : let r = '01'[n % 2] . r : let n = n / 2 : endwhile : return r :endfunc :" The function String2Bin() converts each character in a string to a :" binary string, separated with dashes. :func String2Bin(str) : let out = '' : for ix in range(strlen(a:str)) : let out = out .

If you need to extract parts from a line, you can use matchstr() and substitute() to do it. This example shows how to get the file name, line number and column number out of a line like "foobar.txt, 123, 45". > :" Set up the match bit :let mx='$\f\+$,\s$\d\+$,\s$\d\+$' :"get the part matching the whole expression :let l = matchstr(line, mx) :"get each item out of the match :let file = substitute(l, mx, '\1', '') :let lnum = substitute(l, mx, '\2', '') :let col = substitute(l, mx, '\3', '') The input is in the variable "line", the results in the variables "file", "lnum" and "col". (idea from Michael Geddes) getting the scriptnames in a Dictionary ~ scriptnames-dictionary The \|:scriptnames\| command can be used to get a list of all script files that have been sourced. There is no equivalent function or variable for this (because it's rarely needed). In case you need to manipulate the list this code can be used: > " Get the output of ":scriptnames" in the scriptnames_output variable. let scriptnames_output = '' redir => scriptnames_output silent scriptnames redir END " Split the output into lines and parse each line. Add an entry to the " "scripts" dictionary. let scripts = {} for line in split(scriptnames_output, "\n") " Only do non-blank lines. if line =~ '\S' " Get the first number in the line. let nr = matchstr(line, '\d\+') " Get the file name, remove the script number " 123: ". let name = substitute(line, '.\+:\s', '', '') " Add an item to the Dictionary let scripts[nr] = name endif endfor unlet scriptnames_output ============================================================================== 10. Vim script versions vimscript-version* vimscript-versions scriptversion Over time many features have been added to Vim script. This includes Ex commands, functions, variable types, etc. Each individual feature can be checked with the \|has()\| and \|exists()\| functions. Sometimes old syntax of functionality gets in the way of making Vim better. When support is taken away this will break older Vim scripts. To make this explicit the \|:scriptversion\| command can be used. When a Vim script is not compatible with older versions of Vim this will give an explicit error, instead of failing in mysterious ways. scriptversion-1 > :scriptversion 1 < This is the original Vim script, same as not using a \|:scriptversion\| command. Can be used to go back to old syntax for a range of lines. Test for support with: > has('vimscript-1') < scriptversion-2 > :scriptversion 2 < String concatenation with "." is not supported, use ".." instead. This avoids the ambiguity using "." for Dict member access and floating point numbers. Now ".5" means the number 0.5. scriptversion-3 > :scriptversion 3 < All \|vim-variable\|s must be prefixed by "v:". E.g. "version" doesn't work as \|v:version\| anymore, it can be used as a normal variable. Same for some obvious names as "count" and others. Test for support with: > has('vimscript-3') < scriptversion-4 > :scriptversion 4 < Numbers with a leading zero are not recognized as octal. "0o" or "0O" is still recognized as octal. With the previous version you get: > echo 017 " displays 15 (octal) echo 0o17 " displays 15 (octal) echo 018 " displays 18 (decimal) < with script version 4: > echo 017 " displays 17 (decimal) echo 0o17 " displays 15 (octal) echo 018 " displays 18 (decimal) < Also, it is possible to use single quotes inside numbers to make them easier to read: > echo 1'000'000 < The quotes must be surrounded by digits. Test for support with: > has('vimscript-4') ============================================================================== 11. No +eval feature no-eval-feature When the \|+eval\| feature was disabled at compile time, none of the expression evaluation commands are available. To prevent this from causing Vim scripts to generate all kinds of errors, the ":if" and ":endif" commands are still recognized, though the argument of the ":if" and everything between the ":if" and the matching ":endif" is ignored. Nesting of ":if" blocks is allowed, but only if the commands are at the start of the line. The ":else" command is not recognized. Example of how to avoid executing commands when the \|+eval\| feature is missing: > :if 1 : echo "Expression evaluation is compiled in" :else : echo "You will _never_ see this message" :endif To execute a command only when the \|+eval\| feature is disabled can be done in two ways. The simplest is to exit the script (or Vim) prematurely: > if 1 echo "commands executed with +eval" finish endif args " command executed without +eval If you do not want to abort loading the script you can use a trick, as this example shows: > silent! while 0 set history=111 silent! endwhile When the \|+eval\| feature is available the command is skipped because of the "while 0". Without the \|+eval\| feature the "while 0" is an error, which is silently ignored, and the command is executed. ============================================================================== 12. The sandbox eval-sandbox sandbox E48 The 'foldexpr', 'formatexpr', 'includeexpr', 'indentexpr', 'statusline' and 'foldtext' options may be evaluated in a sandbox. This means that you are protected from these expressions having nasty side effects. This gives some safety for when these options are set from a modeline. It is also used when the command from a tags file is executed and for CTRL-R = in the command line. The sandbox is also used for the \|:sandbox\| command. These items are not allowed in the sandbox: - changing the buffer text - defining or changing mapping, autocommands, user commands - setting certain options (see \|option-summary\|) - setting certain v: variables (see \|v:var\|) E794 - executing a shell command - reading or writing a file - jumping to another buffer or editing a file - executing Python, Perl, etc. commands This is not guaranteed 100% secure, but it should block most attacks. :san :sandbox :san[dbox] {cmd} Execute {cmd} in the sandbox. Useful to evaluate an option that may have been set from a modeline, e.g. 'foldexpr'. sandbox-option A few options contain an expression. When this expression is evaluated it may have to be done in the sandbox to avoid a security risk. But the sandbox is restrictive, thus this only happens when the option was set from an insecure location. Insecure in this context are: - sourcing a .vimrc or .exrc in the current directory - while executing in the sandbox - value coming from a modeline - executing a function that was defined in the sandbox Note that when in the sandbox and saving an option value and restoring it, the option will still be marked as it was set in the sandbox. ============================================================================== 13. Textlock textlock In a few situations it is not allowed to change the text in the buffer, jump to another window and some other things that might confuse or break what Vim is currently doing. This mostly applies to things that happen when Vim is actually doing something else. For example, evaluating the 'balloonexpr' may happen any moment the mouse cursor is resting at some position. This is not allowed when the textlock is active: - changing the buffer text - jumping to another buffer or window - editing another file - closing a window or quitting Vim - etc. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	528.52 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Filetype plugin \|filetype-plugins\| 3. Docs for the default filetype plugins. \|ftplugin-docs\| Also see \|autocmd.txt\|. ============================================================================== 1. Filetypes filetypes file-types Vim can detect the type of file that is edited. This is done by checking the file name and sometimes by inspecting the contents of the file for specific text. :filetype :filet To enable file type detection, use this command in your vimrc: > :filetype on Each time a new or existing file is edited, Vim will try to recognize the type of the file and set the 'filetype' option. This will trigger the FileType event, which can be used to set the syntax highlighting, set options, etc. NOTE: Filetypes and 'compatible' don't work together well, since being Vi compatible means options are global. Resetting 'compatible' is recommended, if you didn't do that already. Detail: The ":filetype on" command will load one of these files: Amiga $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim Mac $VIMRUNTIME:filetype.vim MS-Windows $VIMRUNTIME\filetype.vim Unix $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim VMS $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim This file is a Vim script that defines autocommands for the BufNewFile and BufRead events. If the file type is not found by the name, the file $VIMRUNTIME/scripts.vim is used to detect it from the contents of the file. When the GUI is running or will start soon, the \|menu.vim\| script is also sourced. See \|'go-M'\| about avoiding that. To add your own file types, see \|new-filetype\| below. To search for help on a filetype prepend "ft-" and optionally append "-syntax", "-indent" or "-plugin". For example: > :help ft-vim-indent :help ft-vim-syntax :help ft-man-plugin If the file type is not detected automatically, or it finds the wrong type, you can either set the 'filetype' option manually, or add a modeline to your file. Example, for an IDL file use the command: > :set filetype=idl or add this \|modeline\| to the file: /* vim: set filetype=idl : / ~ :filetype-plugin-on* You can enable loading the plugin files for specific file types with: > :filetype plugin on If filetype detection was not switched on yet, it will be as well. This actually loads the file "ftplugin.vim" in 'runtimepath'. The result is that when a file is edited its plugin file is loaded (if there is one for the detected filetype). \|filetype-plugin\| :filetype-plugin-off You can disable it again with: > :filetype plugin off The filetype detection is not switched off then. But if you do switch off filetype detection, the plugins will not be loaded either. This actually loads the file "ftplugof.vim" in 'runtimepath'. :filetype-indent-on You can enable loading the indent file for specific file types with: > :filetype indent on If filetype detection was not switched on yet, it will be as well. This actually loads the file "indent.vim" in 'runtimepath'. The result is that when a file is edited its indent file is loaded (if there is one for the detected filetype). \|indent-expression\| :filetype-indent-off You can disable it again with: > :filetype indent off The filetype detection is not switched off then. But if you do switch off filetype detection, the indent files will not be loaded either. This actually loads the file "indoff.vim" in 'runtimepath'. This disables auto-indenting for files you will open. It will keep working in already opened files. Reset 'autoindent', 'cindent', 'smartindent' and/or 'indentexpr' to disable indenting in an opened file. :filetype-off To disable file type detection, use this command: > :filetype off This will keep the flags for "plugin" and "indent", but since no file types are being detected, they won't work until the next ":filetype on". Overview: :filetype-overview command detection plugin indent ~ :filetype on on unchanged unchanged :filetype off off unchanged unchanged :filetype plugin on on on unchanged :filetype plugin off unchanged off unchanged :filetype indent on on unchanged on :filetype indent off unchanged unchanged off :filetype plugin indent on on on on :filetype plugin indent off unchanged off off To see the current status, type: > :filetype The output looks something like this: > filetype detection:ON plugin:ON indent:OFF The file types are also used for syntax highlighting. If the ":syntax on" command is used, the file type detection is installed too. There is no need to do ":filetype on" after ":syntax on". To disable one of the file types, add a line in your filetype file, see \|remove-filetype\|. filetype-detect To detect the file type again: > :filetype detect Use this if you started with an empty file and typed text that makes it possible to detect the file type. For example, when you entered this in a shell script: "#!/bin/csh". When filetype detection was off, it will be enabled first, like the "on" argument was used. filetype-overrule When the same extension is used for two filetypes, Vim tries to guess what kind of file it is. This doesn't always work. A number of global variables can be used to overrule the filetype used for certain extensions: file name variable ~ .asa g:filetype_asa \|ft-aspvbs-syntax\| \|ft-aspperl-syntax\| .asp g:filetype_asp \|ft-aspvbs-syntax\| \|ft-aspperl-syntax\| .asm g:asmsyntax \|ft-asm-syntax\| .prg g:filetype_prg .pl g:filetype_pl .inc g:filetype_inc .w g:filetype_w \|ft-cweb-syntax\| .i g:filetype_i \|ft-progress-syntax\| .p g:filetype_p \|ft-pascal-syntax\| .pp g:filetype_pp \|ft-pascal-syntax\| .sh g:bash_is_sh \|ft-sh-syntax\| .tex g:tex_flavor \|ft-tex-plugin\| filetype-ignore To avoid that certain files are being inspected, the g:ft_ignore_pat variable is used. The default value is set like this: > :let g:ft_ignore_pat = '\.$Z\\|gz\\|bz2\\|zip\\|tgz$$' This means that the contents of compressed files are not inspected. new-filetype If a file type that you want to use is not detected yet, there are four ways to add it. In any way, it's better not to modify the $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim file. It will be overwritten when installing a new version of Vim. A. If you want to overrule all default file type checks. This works by writing one file for each filetype. The disadvantage is that there can be many files. The advantage is that you can simply drop this file in the right directory to make it work. ftdetect 1. Create your user runtime directory. You would normally use the first item of the 'runtimepath' option. Then create the directory "ftdetect" inside it. Example for Unix: > :!mkdir ~/.vim :!mkdir ~/.vim/ftdetect < 2. Create a file that contains an autocommand to detect the file type. Example: > au BufRead,BufNewFile .mine set filetype=mine < Note that there is no "augroup" command, this has already been done when sourcing your file. You could also use the pattern "" and then check the contents of the file to recognize it. Write this file as "mine.vim" in the "ftdetect" directory in your user runtime directory. For example, for Unix: > :w ~/.vim/ftdetect/mine.vim < 3. To use the new filetype detection you must restart Vim. The files in the "ftdetect" directory are used after all the default checks, thus they can overrule a previously detected file type. But you can also use \|:setfiletype\| to keep a previously detected filetype. B. If you want to detect your file after the default file type checks. This works like A above, but instead of setting 'filetype' unconditionally use ":setfiletype". This will only set 'filetype' if no file type was detected yet. Example: > au BufRead,BufNewFile .txt setfiletype text < You can also use the already detected file type in your command. For example, to use the file type "mypascal" when "pascal" has been detected: > au BufRead,BufNewFile if &ft == 'pascal' \| set ft=mypascal \| endif C. If your file type can be detected by the file name. 1. Create your user runtime directory. You would normally use the first item of the 'runtimepath' option. Example for Unix: > :!mkdir ~/.vim < 2. Create a file that contains autocommands to detect the file type. Example: > " my filetype file if exists("did_load_filetypes") finish endif augroup filetypedetect au! BufRead,BufNewFile .mine setfiletype mine au! BufRead,BufNewFile .xyz setfiletype drawing augroup END < Write this file as "filetype.vim" in your user runtime directory. For example, for Unix: > :w ~/.vim/filetype.vim < 3. To use the new filetype detection you must restart Vim. Your filetype.vim will be sourced before the default FileType autocommands have been installed. Your autocommands will match first, and the ":setfiletype" command will make sure that no other autocommands will set 'filetype' after this. new-filetype-scripts D. If your filetype can only be detected by inspecting the contents of the file. 1. Create your user runtime directory. You would normally use the first item of the 'runtimepath' option. Example for Unix: > :!mkdir ~/.vim < 2. Create a vim script file for doing this. Example: > if did_filetype() " filetype already set.. finish " ..don't do these checks endif if getline(1) =~ '^#!.\<mine\>' setfiletype mine elseif getline(1) =~? '\<drawing\>' setfiletype drawing endif < See $VIMRUNTIME/scripts.vim for more examples. Write this file as "scripts.vim" in your user runtime directory. For example, for Unix: > :w ~/.vim/scripts.vim < 3. The detection will work right away, no need to restart Vim. Your scripts.vim is loaded before the default checks for file types, which means that your rules override the default rules in $VIMRUNTIME/scripts.vim. remove-filetype* If a file type is detected that is wrong for you, install a filetype.vim or scripts.vim to catch it (see above). You can set 'filetype' to a non-existing name to avoid that it will be set later anyway: > :set filetype=ignored If you are setting up a system with many users, and you don't want each user to add/remove the same filetypes, consider writing the filetype.vim and scripts.vim files in a runtime directory that is used for everybody. Check the 'runtimepath' for a directory to use. If there isn't one, set 'runtimepath' in the \|system-vimrc\|. Be careful to keep the default directories! autocmd-osfiletypes NOTE: this code is currently disabled, as the RISC OS implementation was removed. In the future this will use the 'filetype' option. On operating systems which support storing a file type with the file, you can specify that an autocommand should only be executed if the file is of a certain type. The actual type checking depends on which platform you are running Vim on; see your system's documentation for details. To use osfiletype checking in an autocommand you should put a list of types to match in angle brackets in place of a pattern, like this: > :au BufRead .html,<&faf;HTML> runtime! syntax/html.vim This will match: - Any file whose name ends in ".html" - Any file whose type is "&faf" or "HTML", where the meaning of these types depends on which version of Vim you are using. Unknown types are considered NOT to match. You can also specify a type and a pattern at the same time (in which case they must both match): > :au BufRead <&fff>diff This will match files of type "&fff" whose names start with "diff". plugin-details The "plugin" directory can be in any of the directories in the 'runtimepath' option. All of these directories will be searched for plugins and they are all loaded. For example, if this command: > set runtimepath produces this output: runtimepath=/etc/vim,~/.vim,/usr/local/share/vim/vim82 ~ then Vim will load all plugins in these directories and below: /etc/vim/plugin/ ~ ~/.vim/plugin/ ~ /usr/local/share/vim/vim82/plugin/ ~ Note that the last one is the value of $VIMRUNTIME which has been expanded. Note that when using a plugin manager or \|packages\| many directories will be added to 'runtimepath'. These plugins each require their own directory, don't put them directly in ~/.vim/plugin. What if it looks like your plugin is not being loaded? You can find out what happens when Vim starts up by using the \|-V\| argument: > vim -V2 You will see a lot of messages, in between them is a remark about loading the plugins. It starts with: Searching for "plugin/*/.vim" in ~ There you can see where Vim looks for your plugin scripts. ============================================================================== 2. Filetype plugin filetype-plugins When loading filetype plugins has been enabled \|:filetype-plugin-on\|, options will be set and mappings defined. These are all local to the buffer, they will not be used for other files. Defining mappings for a filetype may get in the way of the mappings you define yourself. There are a few ways to avoid this: 1. Set the "maplocalleader" variable to the key sequence you want the mappings to start with. Example: > :let maplocalleader = "," < All mappings will then start with a comma instead of the default, which is a backslash. Also see \|<LocalLeader>\|. 2. Define your own mapping. Example: > :map ,p <Plug>MailQuote < You need to check the description of the plugin file below for the functionality it offers and the string to map to. You need to define your own mapping before the plugin is loaded (before editing a file of that type). The plugin will then skip installing the default mapping. no_mail_maps 3. Disable defining mappings for a specific filetype by setting a variable, which contains the name of the filetype. For the "mail" filetype this would be: > :let no_mail_maps = 1 < no_plugin_maps 4. Disable defining mappings for all filetypes by setting a variable: > :let no_plugin_maps = 1 < ftplugin-overrule If a global filetype plugin does not do exactly what you want, there are three ways to change this: 1. Add a few settings. You must create a new filetype plugin in a directory early in 'runtimepath'. For Unix, for example you could use this file: > vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/fortran.vim < You can set those settings and mappings that you would like to add. Note that the global plugin will be loaded after this, it may overrule the settings that you do here. If this is the case, you need to use one of the following two methods. 2. Make a copy of the plugin and change it. You must put the copy in a directory early in 'runtimepath'. For Unix, for example, you could do this: > cp $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/fortran.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/fortran.vim < Then you can edit the copied file to your liking. Since the b:did_ftplugin variable will be set, the global plugin will not be loaded. A disadvantage of this method is that when the distributed plugin gets improved, you will have to copy and modify it again. 3. Overrule the settings after loading the global plugin. You must create a new filetype plugin in a directory from the end of 'runtimepath'. For Unix, for example, you could use this file: > vim ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/fortran.vim < In this file you can change just those settings that you want to change. ============================================================================== 3. Docs for the default filetype plugins. ftplugin-docs AWK ft-awk-plugin Support for features specific to GNU Awk, like @include, can be enabled by setting: > let g:awk_is_gawk = 1 CHANGELOG ft-changelog-plugin Allows for easy entrance of Changelog entries in Changelog files. There are some commands, mappings, and variables worth exploring: Options: 'comments' is made empty to not mess up formatting. 'textwidth' is set to 78, which is standard. 'formatoptions' the 't' flag is added to wrap when inserting text. Commands: NewChangelogEntry Adds a new Changelog entry in an intelligent fashion (see below). Local mappings: <Leader>o Starts a new Changelog entry in an equally intelligent fashion (see below). Global mappings: NOTE: The global mappings are accessed by sourcing the ftplugin/changelog.vim file first, e.g. with > runtime ftplugin/changelog.vim < in your \|.vimrc\|. <Leader>o Switches to the ChangeLog buffer opened for the current directory, or opens it in a new buffer if it exists in the current directory. Then it does the same as the local <Leader>o described above. Variables: g:changelog_timeformat Deprecated; use g:changelog_dateformat instead. g:changelog_dateformat The date (and time) format used in ChangeLog entries. The format accepted is the same as for the \|strftime()\| function. The default is "%Y-%m-%d" which is the standard format for many ChangeLog layouts. g:changelog_username The name and email address of the user. The default is deduced from environment variables and system files. It searches /etc/passwd for the comment part of the current user, which informally contains the real name of the user up to the first separating comma. then it checks the $NAME environment variable and finally runs `whoami` and `hostname` to build an email address. The final form is > Full Name <user@host> < g:changelog_new_date_format The format to use when creating a new date-entry. The following table describes special tokens in the string: %% insert a single '%' character %d insert the date from above %u insert the user from above %p insert result of b:changelog_entry_prefix %c where to position cursor when done The default is "%d %u\n\n\t* %p%c\n\n", which produces something like (\| is where cursor will be, unless at the start of the line where it denotes the beginning of the line) > \|2003-01-14 Full Name <user@host> \| \| * prefix\| < g:changelog_new_entry_format The format used when creating a new entry. The following table describes special tokens in the string: %p insert result of b:changelog_entry_prefix %c where to position cursor when done The default is "\t%c", which produces something similar to > \| prefix\| < g:changelog_date_entry_search The search pattern to use when searching for a date-entry. The same tokens that can be used for g:changelog_new_date_format can be used here as well. The default is '^\s%d\_s%u' which finds lines matching the form > \|2003-01-14 Full Name <user@host> < and some similar formats. g:changelog_date_end_entry_search The search pattern to use when searching for the end of a date-entry. The same tokens that can be used for g:changelog_new_date_format can be used here as well. The default is '^\s$' which finds lines that contain only whitespace or are completely empty. b:changelog_name b:changelog_name* Name of the ChangeLog file to look for. The default is 'ChangeLog'. b:changelog_path Path of the ChangeLog to use for the current buffer. The default is empty, thus looking for a file named \|b:changelog_name\| in the same directory as the current buffer. If not found, the parent directory of the current buffer is searched. This continues recursively until a file is found or there are no more parent directories to search. b:changelog_entry_prefix Name of a function to call to generate a prefix to a new entry. This function takes no arguments and should return a string containing the prefix. Returning an empty prefix is fine. The default generates the shortest path between the ChangeLog's pathname and the current buffers pathname. In the future, it will also be possible to use other variable contexts for this variable, for example, g:. The Changelog entries are inserted where they add the least amount of text. After figuring out the current date and user, the file is searched for an entry beginning with the current date and user and if found adds another item under it. If not found, a new entry and item is prepended to the beginning of the Changelog. FORTRAN ft-fortran-plugin Options: 'expandtab' is switched on to avoid tabs as required by the Fortran standards unless the user has set fortran_have_tabs in .vimrc. 'textwidth' is set to 72 for fixed source format as required by the Fortran standards and to 80 for free source format. 'formatoptions' is set to break code and comment lines and to preserve long lines. You can format comments with \|gq\|. For further discussion of fortran_have_tabs and the method used for the detection of source format see \|ft-fortran-syntax\|. GIT COMMIT ft-gitcommit-plugin One command, :DiffGitCached, is provided to show a diff of the current commit in the preview window. It is equivalent to calling "git diff --cached" plus any arguments given to the command. MAIL ft-mail-plugin Options: 'modeline' is switched off to avoid the danger of trojan horses, and to avoid that a Subject line with "Vim:" in it will cause an error message. 'textwidth' is set to 72. This is often recommended for e-mail. 'formatoptions' is set to break text lines and to repeat the comment leader in new lines, so that a leading ">" for quotes is repeated. You can also format quoted text with \|gq\|. Local mappings: <LocalLeader>q or \\MailQuote Quotes the text selected in Visual mode, or from the cursor position to the end of the file in Normal mode. This means "> " is inserted in each line. MAN ft-man-plugin :Man man.vim This plugin displays a manual page in a nice way. See \|find-manpage\| in the user manual for more information. To start using the \|:Man\| command before any manual page has been loaded, source this script from your startup \|vimrc\| file: > runtime ftplugin/man.vim Options: 'iskeyword' The '.' character is added to support the use of CTRL-] on the manual page name. Commands: Man {name} Display the manual page for {name} in a window. Man {number} {name} Display the manual page for {name} in a section {number}. Global mapping: <Leader>K Displays the manual page for the word under the cursor. <Plug>ManPreGetPage idem, allows for using a mapping: > nmap <F1> <Plug>ManPreGetPage Local mappings: CTRL-] Jump to the manual page for the word under the cursor. CTRL-T Jump back to the previous manual page. q Same as the \|:quit\| command. To use a vertical split instead of horizontal: > let g:ft_man_open_mode = 'vert' To use a new tab: > let g:ft_man_open_mode = 'tab' To enable \|folding\|, use this: > let g:ft_man_folding_enable = 1 If you do not like the default folding, use an \|autocommand\| to add your desired folding style instead. For example: > autocmd FileType man setlocal foldmethod=indent foldenable If you would like :Man {number} {name} to behave like man {number} {name} by not running man {name} if no page is found, then use this: > let g:ft_man_no_sect_fallback = 1 You may also want to set 'keywordprg' to make the \|K\| command open a manual page in a Vim window: > set keywordprg=:Man MANPAGER manpager.vim The \|:Man\| command allows you to turn Vim into a manpager (that syntax highlights manpages and follows linked manpages on hitting CTRL-]). For bash,zsh,ksh or dash, add to the config file (.bashrc,.zshrc, ...) export MANPAGER="vim -M +MANPAGER -" For (t)csh, add to the config file setenv MANPAGER "vim -M +MANPAGER -" For fish, add to the config file set -x MANPAGER "vim -M +MANPAGER -" MARKDOWN ft-markdown-plugin To enable folding use this: > let g:markdown_folding = 1 < PDF ft-pdf-plugin Two maps, <C-]> and <C-T>, are provided to simulate a tag stack for navigating the PDF. The following are treated as tags: - The byte offset after "startxref" to the xref table - The byte offset after the /Prev key in the trailer to an earlier xref table - A line of the form "0123456789 00000 n" in the xref table - An object reference like "1 0 R" anywhere in the PDF These maps can be disabled with > :let g:no_pdf_maps = 1 < PYTHON ft-python-plugin PEP8 By default the following options are set, in accordance with PEP8: > setlocal expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 tabstop=8 To disable this behavior, set the following variable in your vimrc: > let g:python_recommended_style = 0 QF QUICKFIX qf.vim ft-qf-plugin The "qf" filetype is used for the quickfix window, see \|quickfix-window\|. The quickfix filetype plugin includes configuration for displaying the command that produced the quickfix list in the \|status-line\|. To disable this setting, configure as follows: > :let g:qf_disable_statusline = 1 R MARKDOWN ft-rmd-plugin By default ftplugin/html.vim is not sourced. If you want it sourced, add to your \|vimrc\|: > let rmd_include_html = 1 The 'formatexpr' option is set dynamically with different values for R code and for Markdown code. If you prefer that 'formatexpr' is not set, add to your \|vimrc\|: > let rmd_dynamic_comments = 0 R RESTRUCTURED TEXT ft-rrst-plugin The 'formatexpr' option is set dynamically with different values for R code and for ReStructured text. If you prefer that 'formatexpr' is not set, add to your \|vimrc\|: > let rrst_dynamic_comments = 0 RESTRUCTUREDTEXT ft-rst-plugin The following formatting setting are optionally available: > setlocal expandtab shiftwidth=3 softtabstop=3 tabstop=8 To enable this behavior, set the following variable in your vimrc: > let g:rst_style = 1 RPM SPEC ft-spec-plugin Since the text for this plugin is rather long it has been put in a separate file: \|pi_spec.txt\|. RUST ft-rust Since the text for this plugin is rather long it has been put in a separate file: \|ft_rust.txt\|. SQL ft-sql Since the text for this plugin is rather long it has been put in a separate file: \|ft_sql.txt\|. TEX ft-tex-plugin g:tex_flavor If the first line of a .tex file has the form > %&<format> then this determined the file type: plaintex (for plain TeX), context (for ConTeXt), or tex (for LaTeX). Otherwise, the file is searched for keywords to choose context or tex. If no keywords are found, it defaults to plaintex. You can change the default by defining the variable g:tex_flavor to the format (not the file type) you use most. Use one of these: > let g:tex_flavor = "plain" let g:tex_flavor = "context" let g:tex_flavor = "latex" Currently no other formats are recognized. VIM ft-vim-plugin* The Vim filetype plugin defines mappings to move to the start and end of functions with [[ and ]]. Move around comments with ]" and [". The mappings can be disabled with: > let g:no_vim_maps = 1 ZIMBU ft-zimbu-plugin The Zimbu filetype plugin defines mappings to move to the start and end of functions with [[ and ]]. The mappings can be disabled with: > let g:no_zimbu_maps = 1 < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	26.95 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 fold.txt fold.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Jun 02 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Folding Folding folding folds You can find an introduction on folding in chapter 28 of the user manual. \|usr_28.txt\| 1. Fold methods \|fold-methods\| 2. Fold commands \|fold-commands\| 3. Fold options \|fold-options\| 4. Behavior of folds \|fold-behavior\| {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} ============================================================================== 1. Fold methods fold-methods The folding method can be set with the 'foldmethod' option. When setting 'foldmethod' to a value other than "manual", all folds are deleted and new ones created. Switching to the "manual" method doesn't remove the existing folds. This can be used to first define the folds automatically and then change them manually. There are six methods to select folds: manual manually define folds indent more indent means a higher fold level expr specify an expression to define folds syntax folds defined by syntax highlighting diff folds for unchanged text marker folds defined by markers in the text MANUAL fold-manual Use commands to manually define the fold regions. This can also be used by a script that parses text to find folds. The level of a fold is only defined by its nesting. To increase the fold level of a fold for a range of lines, define a fold inside it that has the same lines. The manual folds are lost when you abandon the file. To save the folds use the \|:mkview\| command. The view can be restored later with \|:loadview\|. INDENT fold-indent The folds are automatically defined by the indent of the lines. The foldlevel is computed from the indent of the line, divided by the 'shiftwidth' (rounded down). A sequence of lines with the same or higher fold level form a fold, with the lines with a higher level forming a nested fold. The nesting of folds is limited with 'foldnestmax'. Some lines are ignored and get the fold level of the line above or below it, whichever is lower. These are empty or white lines and lines starting with a character in 'foldignore'. White space is skipped before checking for characters in 'foldignore'. For C use "#" to ignore preprocessor lines. When you want to ignore lines in another way, use the "expr" method. The \|indent()\| function can be used in 'foldexpr' to get the indent of a line. EXPR fold-expr The folds are automatically defined by their foldlevel, like with the "indent" method. The value of the 'foldexpr' option is evaluated to get the foldlevel of a line. Examples: This will create a fold for all consecutive lines that start with a tab: > :set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)[0]==\"\\t\" This will call a function to compute the fold level: > :set foldexpr=MyFoldLevel(v:lnum) This will make a fold out of paragraphs separated by blank lines: > :set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)=~'^\\s$'&&getline(v:lnum+1)=~'\\S'?'<1':1 This does the same: > :set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum-1)=~'^\\s$'&&getline(v:lnum)=~'\\S'?'>1':1 Note that backslashes must be used to escape characters that ":set" handles differently (space, backslash, double quote, etc., see \|option-backslash\|). These are the conditions with which the expression is evaluated: - The current buffer and window are set for the line. - The variable "v:lnum" is set to the line number. - The result is used for the fold level in this way: value meaning ~ 0 the line is not in a fold 1, 2, .. the line is in a fold with this level -1 the fold level is undefined, use the fold level of a line before or after this line, whichever is the lowest. "=" use fold level from the previous line "a1", "a2", .. add one, two, .. to the fold level of the previous line, use the result for the current line "s1", "s2", .. subtract one, two, .. from the fold level of the previous line, use the result for the next line "<1", "<2", .. a fold with this level ends at this line ">1", ">2", .. a fold with this level starts at this line It is not required to mark the start (end) of a fold with ">1" ("<1"), a fold will also start (end) when the fold level is higher (lower) than the fold level of the previous line. There must be no side effects from the expression. The text in the buffer, cursor position, the search patterns, options etc. must not be changed. You can change and restore them if you are careful. If there is some error in the expression, or the resulting value isn't recognized, there is no error message and the fold level will be zero. For debugging the 'debug' option can be set to "msg", the error messages will be visible then. Note: Since the expression has to be evaluated for every line, this fold method can be very slow! Try to avoid the "=", "a" and "s" return values, since Vim often has to search backwards for a line for which the fold level is defined. This can be slow. An example of using "a1" and "s1": For a multi-line C comment, a line containing "/" would return "a1" to start a fold, and a line containing "/" would return "s1" to end the fold after that line: > if match(thisline, '/\') >= 0 return 'a1' elseif match(thisline, '\/') >= 0 return 's1' else return '=' endif However, this won't work for single line comments, strings, etc. \|foldlevel()\| can be useful to compute a fold level relative to a previous fold level. But note that foldlevel() may return -1 if the level is not known yet. And it returns the level at the start of the line, while a fold might end in that line. It may happen that folds are not updated properly. You can use \|zx\| or \|zX\| to force updating folds. SYNTAX fold-syntax A fold is defined by syntax items that have the "fold" argument. \|:syn-fold\| The fold level is defined by nesting folds. The nesting of folds is limited with 'foldnestmax'. Be careful to specify proper syntax syncing. If this is not done right, folds may differ from the displayed highlighting. This is especially relevant when using patterns that match more than one line. In case of doubt, try using brute-force syncing: > :syn sync fromstart DIFF fold-diff The folds are automatically defined for text that is not part of a change or close to a change. This method only works properly when the 'diff' option is set for the current window and changes are being displayed. Otherwise the whole buffer will be one big fold. The 'diffopt' option can be used to specify the context. That is, the number of lines between the fold and a change that are not included in the fold. For example, to use a context of 8 lines: > :set diffopt=filler,context:8 The default context is six lines. When 'scrollbind' is also set, Vim will attempt to keep the same folds open in other diff windows, so that the same text is visible. MARKER fold-marker Markers in the text tell where folds start and end. This allows you to precisely specify the folds. This will allow deleting and putting a fold, without the risk of including the wrong lines. The 'foldtext' option is normally set such that the text before the marker shows up in the folded line. This makes it possible to give a name to the fold. Markers can have a level included, or can use matching pairs. Including a level is easier, you don't have to add end markers and avoid problems with non-matching marker pairs. Example: > /* global variables {{{1 / int varA, varB; / functions {{{1 / / funcA() {{{2 / void funcA() {} / funcB() {{{2 / void funcB() {} A fold starts at a "{{{" marker. The following number specifies the fold level. What happens depends on the difference between the current fold level and the level given by the marker: 1. If a marker with the same fold level is encountered, the previous fold ends and another fold with the same level starts. 2. If a marker with a higher fold level is found, a nested fold is started. 3. If a marker with a lower fold level is found, all folds up to and including this level end and a fold with the specified level starts. The number indicates the fold level. A zero cannot be used (a marker with level zero is ignored). You can use "}}}" with a digit to indicate the level of the fold that ends. The fold level of the following line will be one less than the indicated level. Note that Vim doesn't look back to the level of the matching marker (that would take too much time). Example: > {{{1 fold level here is 1 {{{3 fold level here is 3 }}}3 fold level here is 2 You can also use matching pairs of "{{{" and "}}}" markers to define folds. Each "{{{" increases the fold level by one, each "}}}" decreases the fold level by one. Be careful to keep the markers matching! Example: > {{{ fold level here is 1 {{{ fold level here is 2 }}} fold level here is 1 You can mix using markers with a number and without a number. A useful way of doing this is to use numbered markers for large folds, and unnumbered markers locally in a function. For example use level one folds for the sections of your file like "structure definitions", "local variables" and "functions". Use level 2 markers for each definition and function, Use unnumbered markers inside functions. When you make changes in a function to split up folds, you don't have to renumber the markers. The markers can be set with the 'foldmarker' option. It is recommended to keep this at the default value of "{{{,}}}", so that files can be exchanged between Vim users. Only change it when it is required for the file (e.g., it contains markers from another folding editor, or the default markers cause trouble for the language of the file). fold-create-marker* "zf" can be used to create a fold defined by markers. Vim will insert the markers for you. Vim will append the start and end marker, as specified with 'foldmarker'. The markers are appended to the end of the line. 'commentstring' is used if it isn't empty. This does not work properly when: - The line already contains a marker with a level number. Vim then doesn't know what to do. - Folds nearby use a level number in their marker which gets in the way. - The line is inside a comment, 'commentstring' isn't empty and nested comments don't work. For example with C: adding /* {{{ / inside a comment will truncate the existing comment. Either put the marker before or after the comment, or add the marker manually. Generally it's not a good idea to let Vim create markers when you already have markers with a level number. fold-delete-marker* "zd" can be used to delete a fold defined by markers. Vim will delete the markers for you. Vim will search for the start and end markers, as specified with 'foldmarker', at the start and end of the fold. When the text around the marker matches with 'commentstring', that text is deleted as well. This does not work properly when: - A line contains more than one marker and one of them specifies a level. Only the first one is removed, without checking if this will have the desired effect of deleting the fold. - The marker contains a level number and is used to start or end several folds at the same time. ============================================================================== 2. Fold commands fold-commands E490 All folding commands start with "z". Hint: the "z" looks like a folded piece of paper, if you look at it from the side. CREATING AND DELETING FOLDS ~ zf E350 zf{motion} or {Visual}zf Operator to create a fold. This only works when 'foldmethod' is "manual" or "marker". The new fold will be closed for the "manual" method. 'foldenable' will be set. Also see \|fold-create-marker\|. zF zF Create a fold for [count] lines. Works like "zf". :{range}fo[ld] :fold :fo Create a fold for the lines in {range}. Works like "zf". zd E351 zd Delete one fold at the cursor. When the cursor is on a folded line, that fold is deleted. Nested folds are moved one level up. In Visual mode one level of all folds (partially) in the selected area are deleted. Careful: This easily deletes more folds than you expect and there is no undo for manual folding. This only works when 'foldmethod' is "manual" or "marker". Also see \|fold-delete-marker\|. zD zD Delete folds recursively at the cursor. In Visual mode all folds (partially) in the selected area and all nested folds in them are deleted. This only works when 'foldmethod' is "manual" or "marker". Also see \|fold-delete-marker\|. zE E352 zE Eliminate all folds in the window. This only works when 'foldmethod' is "manual" or "marker". Also see \|fold-delete-marker\|. OPENING AND CLOSING FOLDS ~ A fold smaller than 'foldminlines' will always be displayed like it was open. Therefore the commands below may work differently on small folds. zo zo Open one fold under the cursor. When a count is given, that many folds deep will be opened. In Visual mode one level of folds is opened for all lines in the selected area. zO zO Open all folds under the cursor recursively. Folds that don't contain the cursor line are unchanged. In Visual mode it opens all folds that are in the selected area, also those that are only partly selected. zc zc Close one fold under the cursor. When a count is given, that many folds deep are closed. In Visual mode one level of folds is closed for all lines in the selected area. 'foldenable' will be set. zC zC Close all folds under the cursor recursively. Folds that don't contain the cursor line are unchanged. In Visual mode it closes all folds that are in the selected area, also those that are only partly selected. 'foldenable' will be set. za za When on a closed fold: open it. When folds are nested, you may have to use "za" several times. When a count is given, that many closed folds are opened. When on an open fold: close it and set 'foldenable'. This will only close one level, since using "za" again will open the fold. When a count is given that many folds will be closed (that's not the same as repeating "za" that many times). zA zA When on a closed fold: open it recursively. When on an open fold: close it recursively and set 'foldenable'. zv zv View cursor line: Open just enough folds to make the line in which the cursor is located not folded. zx zx Update folds: Undo manually opened and closed folds: re-apply 'foldlevel', then do "zv": View cursor line. Also forces recomputing folds. This is useful when using 'foldexpr' and the buffer is changed in a way that results in folds not to be updated properly. zX zX Undo manually opened and closed folds: re-apply 'foldlevel'. Also forces recomputing folds, like \|zx\|. zm zm Fold more: Subtract \|v:count1\| from 'foldlevel'. If 'foldlevel' was already zero nothing happens. 'foldenable' will be set. zM zM Close all folds: set 'foldlevel' to 0. 'foldenable' will be set. zr zr Reduce folding: Add \|v:count1\| to 'foldlevel'. zR zR Open all folds. This sets 'foldlevel' to highest fold level. :foldo :foldopen :{range}foldo[pen][!] Open folds in {range}. When [!] is added all folds are opened. Useful to see all the text in {range}. Without [!] one level of folds is opened. :foldc :foldclose :{range}foldc[lose][!] Close folds in {range}. When [!] is added all folds are closed. Useful to hide all the text in {range}. Without [!] one level of folds is closed. zn zn Fold none: reset 'foldenable'. All folds will be open. zN zN Fold normal: set 'foldenable'. All folds will be as they were before. zi zi Invert 'foldenable'. MOVING OVER FOLDS ~ [z [z Move to the start of the current open fold. If already at the start, move to the start of the fold that contains it. If there is no containing fold, the command fails. When a count is used, repeats the command [count] times. ]z ]z Move to the end of the current open fold. If already at the end, move to the end of the fold that contains it. If there is no containing fold, the command fails. When a count is used, repeats the command [count] times. zj zj Move downwards to the start of the next fold. A closed fold is counted as one fold. When a count is used, repeats the command [count] times. This command can be used after an \|operator\|. zk zk Move upwards to the end of the previous fold. A closed fold is counted as one fold. When a count is used, repeats the command [count] times. This command can be used after an \|operator\|. EXECUTING COMMANDS ON FOLDS ~ :[range]foldd[oopen] {cmd} :foldd :folddo :folddoopen Execute {cmd} on all lines that are not in a closed fold. When [range] is given, only these lines are used. Each time {cmd} is executed the cursor is positioned on the line it is executed for. This works like the ":global" command: First all lines that are not in a closed fold are marked. Then the {cmd} is executed for all marked lines. Thus when {cmd} changes the folds, this has no influence on where it is executed (except when lines are deleted, of course). Example: > :folddoopen s/end/loop_end/ge < Note the use of the "e" flag to avoid getting an error message where "end" doesn't match. :[range]folddoc[losed] {cmd} :folddoc :folddoclosed Execute {cmd} on all lines that are in a closed fold. Otherwise like ":folddoopen". ============================================================================== 3. Fold options fold-options COLORS fold-colors The colors of a closed fold are set with the Folded group \|hl-Folded\|. The colors of the fold column are set with the FoldColumn group \|hl-FoldColumn\|. Example to set the colors: > :highlight Folded guibg=grey guifg=blue :highlight FoldColumn guibg=darkgrey guifg=white FOLDLEVEL fold-foldlevel 'foldlevel' is a number option: The higher the more folded regions are open. When 'foldlevel' is 0, all folds are closed. When 'foldlevel' is positive, some folds are closed. When 'foldlevel' is very high, all folds are open. 'foldlevel' is applied when it is changed. After that manually folds can be opened and closed. When increased, folds above the new level are opened. No manually opened folds will be closed. When decreased, folds above the new level are closed. No manually closed folds will be opened. FOLDTEXT fold-foldtext 'foldtext' is a string option that specifies an expression. This expression is evaluated to obtain the text displayed for a closed fold. Example: > :set foldtext=v:folddashes.substitute(getline(v:foldstart),'/\\\\\\|\\/\\\\|{{{\\d\\=','','g') This shows the first line of the fold, with "/", "/" and "{{{" removed. Note the use of backslashes to avoid some characters to be interpreted by the ":set" command. It's simpler to define a function and call that: > :set foldtext=MyFoldText() :function MyFoldText() : let line = getline(v:foldstart) : let sub = substitute(line, '/\\\|\/\\|{{{\d\=', '', 'g') : return v:folddashes . sub :endfunction Evaluating 'foldtext' is done in the \|sandbox\|. The current window is set to the window that displays the line. Errors are ignored. The default value is \|foldtext()\|. This returns a reasonable text for most types of folding. If you don't like it, you can specify your own 'foldtext' expression. It can use these special Vim variables: v:foldstart line number of first line in the fold v:foldend line number of last line in the fold v:folddashes a string that contains dashes to represent the foldlevel. v:foldlevel the foldlevel of the fold In the result a TAB is replaced with a space and unprintable characters are made into printable characters. The resulting line is truncated to fit in the window, it never wraps. When there is room after the text, it is filled with the character specified by 'fillchars'. Note that backslashes need to be used for characters that the ":set" command handles differently: Space, backslash and double-quote. \|option-backslash\| FOLDCOLUMN fold-foldcolumn 'foldcolumn' is a number, which sets the width for a column on the side of the window to indicate folds. When it is zero, there is no foldcolumn. A normal value is 4 or 5. The minimal useful value is 2, although 1 still provides some information. The maximum is 12. An open fold is indicated with a column that has a '-' at the top and '\|' characters below it. This column stops where the open fold stops. When folds nest, the nested fold is one character right of the fold it's contained in. A closed fold is indicated with a '+'. Where the fold column is too narrow to display all nested folds, digits are shown to indicate the nesting level. The mouse can also be used to open and close folds by clicking in the fold column: - Click on a '+' to open the closed fold at this row. - Click on any other non-blank character to close the open fold at this row. OTHER OPTIONS 'foldenable' 'fen': Open all folds while not set. 'foldexpr' 'fde': Expression used for "expr" folding. 'foldignore' 'fdi': Characters used for "indent" folding. 'foldmarker' 'fmr': Defined markers used for "marker" folding. 'foldmethod' 'fdm': Name of the current folding method. 'foldminlines' 'fml': Minimum number of screen lines for a fold to be displayed closed. 'foldnestmax' 'fdn': Maximum nesting for "indent" and "syntax" folding. 'foldopen' 'fdo': Which kinds of commands open closed folds. 'foldclose' 'fcl': When the folds not under the cursor are closed. ============================================================================== 4. Behavior of folds fold-behavior When moving the cursor upwards or downwards and when scrolling, the cursor will move to the first line of a sequence of folded lines. When the cursor is already on a folded line, it moves to the next unfolded line or the next closed fold. While the cursor is on folded lines, the cursor is always displayed in the first column. The ruler does show the actual cursor position, but since the line is folded, it cannot be displayed there. Many movement commands handle a sequence of folded lines like an empty line. For example, the "w" command stops once in the first column. When in Insert mode, the cursor line is never folded. That allows you to see what you type! When using an operator, a closed fold is included as a whole. Thus "dl" deletes the whole closed fold under the cursor. For Ex commands that work on buffer lines the range is adjusted to always start at the first line of a closed fold and end at the last line of a closed fold. Thus this command: > :s/foo/bar/g when used with the cursor on a closed fold, will replace "foo" with "bar" in all lines of the fold. This does not happen for \|:folddoopen\| and \|:folddoclosed\|. When editing a buffer that has been edited before, the last used folding settings are used again. For manual folding the defined folds are restored. For all folding methods the manually opened and closed folds are restored. If this buffer has been edited in this window, the values from back then are used. Otherwise the values from the window where the buffer was edited last are used. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	23.13 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

References \|ada-reference\| 5.1 Options \|ft-ada-options\| 5.2 Commands \|ft-ada-commands\| 5.3 Variables \|ft-ada-variables\| 5.4 Constants \|ft-ada-constants\| 5.5 Functions \|ft-ada-functions\| 6. Extra Plug-ins \|ada-extra-plugins\| ============================================================================== 1. Syntax Highlighting ~ ft-ada-syntax This mode is designed for the 2005 edition of Ada ("Ada 2005"), which includes support for objected-programming, protected types, and so on. It handles code written for the original Ada language ("Ada83", "Ada87", "Ada95") as well, though code which uses Ada 2005-only keywords will be wrongly colored (such code should be fixed anyway). For more information about Ada, see http://www.adapower.com. The Ada mode handles a number of situations cleanly. For example, it knows that the "-" in "-5" is a number, but the same character in "A-5" is an operator. Normally, a "with" or "use" clause referencing another compilation unit is coloured the same way as C's "#include" is coloured. If you have "Conditional" or "Repeat" groups coloured differently, then "end if" and "end loop" will be coloured as part of those respective groups. You can set these to different colours using vim's "highlight" command (e.g., to change how loops are displayed, enter the command ":hi Repeat" followed by the colour specification; on simple terminals the colour specification ctermfg=White often shows well). There are several options you can select in this Ada mode. See \|ft-ada-options\| for a complete list. To enable them, assign a value to the option. For example, to turn one on: > > let g:ada_standard_types = 1 > To disable them use ":unlet". Example: > > unlet g:ada_standard_types You can just use ":" and type these into the command line to set these temporarily before loading an Ada file. You can make these option settings permanent by adding the "let" command(s), without a colon, to your "~/.vimrc" file. Even on a slow (90Mhz) PC this mode works quickly, but if you find the performance unacceptable, turn on \|g:ada_withuse_ordinary\|. Syntax folding instructions (\|fold-syntax\|) are added when \|g:ada_folding\| is set. ============================================================================== 2. File type Plug-in ~ ft-ada-indent ft-ada-plugin The Ada plug-in provides support for: - auto indenting (\|indent.txt\|) - insert completion (\|i_CTRL-N\|) - user completion (\|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U\|) - tag searches (\|tagsrch.txt\|) - Quick Fix (\|quickfix.txt\|) - backspace handling (\|'backspace'\|) - comment handling (\|'comments'\|, \|'commentstring'\|) The plug-in only activates the features of the Ada mode whenever an Ada file is opened and adds Ada related entries to the main and pop-up menu. ============================================================================== 3. Omni Completion ~ ft-ada-omni The Ada omni-completions (\|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O\|) uses tags database created either by "gnat xref -v" or the "exuberant Ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net). The complete function will automatically detect which tool was used to create the tags file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.1 Omni Completion with "gnat xref" ~ gnat-xref GNAT XREF uses the compiler internal information (ali-files) to produce the tags file. This has the advantage to be 100% correct and the option of deep nested analysis. However the code must compile, the generator is quite slow and the created tags file contains only the basic Ctags information for each entry - not enough for some of the more advanced Vim code browser plug-ins. NOTE: "gnat xref -v" is very tricky to use as it has almost no diagnostic output - If nothing is printed then usually the parameters are wrong. Here some important tips: 1) You need to compile your code first and use the "-aO" option to point to your .ali files. 2) "gnat xref -v ../Include/adacl.ads" won't work - use the "gnat xref -v -aI../Include adacl.ads" instead. 3) "gnat xref -v -aI../Include .ad?" won't work - use "cd ../Include" and then "gnat xref -v .ad?" 4) Project manager support is completely broken - don't even try "gnat xref -Padacl.gpr". 5) Vim is faster when the tags file is sorted - use "sort --unique --ignore-case --output=tags tags" . 6) Remember to insert "!_TAG_FILE_SORTED 2 %sort ui" as first line to mark the file assorted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.2 Omni Completion with "ctags"~ ada-ctags Exuberant Ctags uses its own multi-language code parser. The parser is quite fast, produces a lot of extra information (hence the name "Exuberant Ctags") and can run on files which currently do not compile. There are also lots of other Vim-tools which use exuberant Ctags. You will need to install a version of the Exuberant Ctags which has Ada support patched in. Such a version is available from the GNU Ada Project (http://gnuada.sourceforge.net). The Ada parser for Exuberant Ctags is fairly new - don't expect complete support yet. ============================================================================== 4. Compiler Support ~ ada-compiler The Ada mode supports more than one Ada compiler and will automatically load the compiler set in \|g:ada_default_compiler\| whenever an Ada source is opened. The provided compiler plug-ins are split into the actual compiler plug-in and a collection of support functions and variables. This allows the easy development of specialized compiler plug-ins fine tuned to your development environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.1 GNAT ~ compiler-gnat GNAT is the only free (beer and speech) Ada compiler available. There are several versions available which differ in the licence terms used. The GNAT compiler plug-in will perform a compile on pressing <F7> and then immediately shows the result. You can set the project file to be used by setting: > > call g:gnat.Set_Project_File ('my_project.gpr') Setting a project file will also create a Vim session (\|views-sessions\|) so - like with the GPS - opened files, window positions etc. will be remembered separately for all projects. gnat_members GNAT OBJECT ~ g:gnat.Make() g:gnat.Make() Calls \|g:gnat.Make_Command\| and displays the result inside a \|quickfix\| window. g:gnat.Pretty() g:gnat.Pretty() Calls \|g:gnat.Pretty_Program\| g:gnat.Find() g:gnat.Find() Calls \|g:gnat.Find_Program\| g:gnat.Tags() g:gnat.Tags() Calls \|g:gnat.Tags_Command\| g:gnat.Set_Project_File() g:gnat.Set_Project_File([{file}]) Set gnat project file and load associated session. An open project will be closed and the session written. If called without file name the file selector opens for selection of a project file. If called with an empty string then the project and associated session are closed. g:gnat.Project_File g:gnat.Project_File string Current project file. g:gnat.Make_Command g:gnat.Make_Command string External command used for \|g:gnat.Make()\| (\|'makeprg'\|). g:gnat.Pretty_Program g:gnat.Pretty_Program string External command used for \|g:gnat.Pretty()\| g:gnat.Find_Program g:gnat.Find_Program string External command used for \|g:gnat.Find()\| g:gnat.Tags_Command g:gnat.Tags_Command string External command used for \|g:gnat.Tags()\| g:gnat.Error_Format g:gnat.Error_Format string Error format (\|'errorformat'\|) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.2 Dec Ada ~ compiler-hpada compiler-decada compiler-vaxada compiler-compaqada Dec Ada (also known by - in chronological order - VAX Ada, Dec Ada, Compaq Ada and HP Ada) is a fairly dated Ada 83 compiler. Support is basic: <F7> will compile the current unit. The Dec Ada compiler expects the package name and not the file name to be passed as a parameter. The compiler plug-in supports the usual file name convention to convert the file into a unit name. Both '-' and '__' are allowed as separators. decada_members DEC ADA OBJECT ~ g:decada.Make() g:decada.Make() function Calls \|g:decada.Make_Command\| and displays the result inside a \|quickfix\| window. g:decada.Unit_Name() g:decada.Unit_Name() function Get the Unit name for the current file. g:decada.Make_Command g:decada.Make_Command string External command used for \|g:decada.Make()\| (\|'makeprg'\|). g:decada.Error_Format g:decada.Error_Format string Error format (\|'errorformat'\|). ============================================================================== 5. References ~ ada-reference ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.1 Options ~ ft-ada-options g:ada_standard_types g:ada_standard_types bool (true when exists) Highlight types in package Standard (e.g., "Float"). g:ada_space_errors g:ada_no_trail_space_error g:ada_no_tab_space_error g:ada_all_tab_usage g:ada_space_errors bool (true when exists) Highlight extraneous errors in spaces ... g:ada_no_trail_space_error - but ignore trailing spaces at the end of a line g:ada_no_tab_space_error - but ignore tabs after spaces g:ada_all_tab_usage - highlight all tab use g:ada_line_errors g:ada_line_errors bool (true when exists) Highlight lines which are too long. Note: This highlighting option is quite CPU intensive. g:ada_rainbow_color g:ada_rainbow_color bool (true when exists) Use rainbow colours for '(' and ')'. You need the rainbow_parenthesis for this to work. g:ada_folding g:ada_folding set ('sigpft') Use folding for Ada sources. 's': activate syntax folding on load 'p': fold packages 'f': fold functions and procedures 't': fold types 'c': fold conditionals 'g': activate gnat pretty print folding on load 'i': lone 'is' folded with line above 'b': lone 'begin' folded with line above 'p': lone 'private' folded with line above 'x': lone 'exception' folded with line above 'i': activate indent folding on load Note: Syntax folding is in an early (unusable) stage and indent or gnat pretty folding is suggested. For gnat pretty folding to work the following settings are suggested: -cl3 -M79 -c2 -c3 -c4 -A1 -A2 -A3 -A4 -A5 For indent folding to work the following settings are suggested: shiftwidth=3 softtabstop=3 g:ada_abbrev g:ada_abbrev bool (true when exists) Add some abbreviations. This feature is more or less superseded by the various completion methods. g:ada_withuse_ordinary g:ada_withuse_ordinary bool (true when exists) Show "with" and "use" as ordinary keywords (when used to reference other compilation units they're normally highlighted specially). g:ada_begin_preproc g:ada_begin_preproc bool (true when exists) Show all begin-like keywords using the colouring of C preprocessor commands. g:ada_omni_with_keywords g:ada_omni_with_keywords Add Keywords, Pragmas, Attributes to omni-completions (\|compl-omni\|). Note: You can always complete then with user completion (\|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U\|). g:ada_extended_tagging g:ada_extended_tagging enum ('jump', 'list') use extended tagging, two options are available 'jump': use tjump to jump. 'list': add tags quick fix list. Normal tagging does not support function or operator overloading as these features are not available in C and tagging was originally developed for C. g:ada_extended_completion g:ada_extended_completion Uses extended completion for <C-N> and <C-R> completions (\|i_CTRL-N\|). In this mode the '.' is used as part of the identifier so that 'Object.Method' or 'Package.Procedure' are completed together. g:ada_gnat_extensions g:ada_gnat_extensions bool (true when exists) Support GNAT extensions. g:ada_with_gnat_project_files g:ada_with_gnat_project_files bool (true when exists) Add gnat project file keywords and Attributes. g:ada_default_compiler g:ada_default_compiler string set default compiler. Currently supported are 'gnat' and 'decada'. An "exists" type is a boolean considered true when the variable is defined and false when the variable is undefined. The value to which the variable is set makes no difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.2 Commands ~ ft-ada-commands :AdaRainbow :AdaRainbow Toggles rainbow colour (\|g:ada_rainbow_color\|) mode for '(' and ')'. :AdaLines :AdaLines Toggles line error (\|g:ada_line_errors\|) display. :AdaSpaces :AdaSpaces Toggles space error (\|g:ada_space_errors\|) display. :AdaTagDir :AdaTagDir Creates tags file for the directory of the current file. :AdaTagFile :AdaTagFile Creates tags file for the current file. :AdaTypes :AdaTypes Toggles standard types (\|g:ada_standard_types\|) colour. :GnatFind :GnatFind Calls \|g:gnat.Find()\| :GnatPretty :GnatPretty Calls \|g:gnat.Pretty()\| :GnatTags :GnatTags Calls \|g:gnat.Tags()\| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.3 Variables ~ ft-ada-variables g:gnat g:gnat object Control object which manages GNAT compiles. The object is created when the first Ada source code is loaded provided that \|g:ada_default_compiler\| is set to 'gnat'. See \|gnat_members\| for details. g:decada g:decada object Control object which manages Dec Ada compiles. The object is created when the first Ada source code is loaded provided that \|g:ada_default_compiler\| is set to 'decada'. See \|decada_members\| for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.4 Constants ~ ft-ada-constants All constants are locked. See \|:lockvar\| for details. g:ada#WordRegex g:ada#WordRegex string Regular expression to search for Ada words. g:ada#DotWordRegex g:ada#DotWordRegex string Regular expression to search for Ada words separated by dots. g:ada#Comment g:ada#Comment string Regular expression to search for Ada comments. g:ada#Keywords g:ada#Keywords list of dictionaries List of keywords, attributes etc. pp. in the format used by omni completion. See \|complete-items\| for details. g:ada#Ctags_Kinds g:ada#Ctags_Kinds dictionary of lists Dictionary of the various kinds of items which the Ada support for Ctags generates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.5 Functions ~ ft-ada-functions ada#Word([{line}, {col}]) ada#Word() Return full name of Ada entity under the cursor (or at given line/column), stripping white space/newlines as necessary. ada#List_Tag([{line}, {col}]) ada#Listtags() List all occurrences of the Ada entity under the cursor (or at given line/column) inside the quick-fix window. ada#Jump_Tag ({ident}, {mode}) ada#Jump_Tag() List all occurrences of the Ada entity under the cursor (or at given line/column) in the tag jump list.

The option can either be 'file' for the current file, 'dir' for the directory of the current file or a file name. gnat#Insert_Tags_Header() gnat#Insert_Tags_Header() Adds the tag file header (!_TAG_) information to the current file which are missing from the GNAT XREF output. ada#Switch_Syntax_Option ({option}) ada#Switch_Syntax_Option() Toggles highlighting options on or off. Used for the Ada menu. gnat#New() gnat#New () Create a new gnat object. See \|g:gnat\| for details. ============================================================================== 6. Extra Plugins ~ ada-extra-plugins You can optionally install the following extra plug-ins. They work well with Ada and enhance the ability of the Ada mode: backup.vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1537 Keeps as many backups as you like so you don't have to. rainbow_parenthsis.vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1561 Very helpful since Ada uses only '(' and ')'. nerd_comments.vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1218 Excellent commenting and uncommenting support for almost any programming language. matchit.vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=39 '%' jumping for any language. The normal '%' jump only works for '{}' style languages. The Ada mode will set the needed search patterns. taglist.vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=273 Source code explorer sidebar. There is a patch for Ada available. The GNU Ada Project distribution (http://gnuada.sourceforge.net) of Vim contains all of the above. ============================================================================== vim: textwidth=78 nowrap tabstop=8 shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 noexpandtab vim: filetype=help	17.82 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

[rustc-args] [--] [args] Compiles and runs the current file. If it has unsaved changes, it will be saved first using \|:update\|. If the current file is an unnamed buffer, it will be written to a temporary file first. The compiled binary is always placed in a temporary directory, but is run from the current directory. The arguments given to \|:RustRun\| will be passed to the compiled binary. If ! is specified, the arguments are passed to rustc instead. A "--" argument will separate the rustc arguments from the arguments passed to the binary. If \|g:rustc_path\| is defined, it is used as the path to rustc. Otherwise it is assumed rustc can be found in $PATH. :RustExpand [args] :RustExpand :RustExpand! [TYPE] [args] Expands the current file using --pretty and displays the results in a new split. If the current file has unsaved changes, it will be saved first using \|:update\|. If the current file is an unnamed buffer, it will be written to a temporary file first. The arguments given to \|:RustExpand\| will be passed to rustc. This is largely intended for specifying various --cfg configurations. If ! is specified, the first argument is the expansion type to pass to rustc --pretty. Otherwise it will default to "expanded". If \|g:rustc_path\| is defined, it is used as the path to rustc. Otherwise it is assumed rustc can be found in $PATH. :RustEmitIr [args] :RustEmitIr Compiles the current file to LLVM IR and displays the results in a new split. If the current file has unsaved changes, it will be saved first using \|:update\|. If the current file is an unnamed buffer, it will be written to a temporary file first. The arguments given to \|:RustEmitIr\| will be passed to rustc. If \|g:rustc_path\| is defined, it is used as the path to rustc. Otherwise it is assumed rustc can be found in $PATH. :RustEmitAsm [args] :RustEmitAsm Compiles the current file to assembly and displays the results in a new split. If the current file has unsaved changes, it will be saved first using \|:update\|. If the current file is an unnamed buffer, it will be written to a temporary file first. The arguments given to \|:RustEmitAsm\| will be passed to rustc. If \|g:rustc_path\| is defined, it is used as the path to rustc. Otherwise it is assumed rustc can be found in $PATH. :RustPlay :RustPlay This command will only work if you have web-api.vim installed (available at https://github.com/mattn/webapi-vim). It sends the current selection, or if nothing is selected, the entirety of the current buffer to the Rust playpen, and emits a message with the shortened URL to the playpen. \|g:rust_playpen_url\| is the base URL to the playpen, by default "https://play.rust-lang.org/". \|g:rust_shortener_url\| is the base URL for the shortener, by default "https://is.gd/" :RustFmt :RustFmt Runs \|g:rustfmt_command\| on the current buffer. If \|g:rustfmt_options\| is set then those will be passed to the executable. If \|g:rustfmt_fail_silently\| is 0 (the default) then it will populate the \|location-list\| with the errors from \|g:rustfmt_command\|. If \|g:rustfmt_fail_silently\| is set to 1 then it will not populate the \|location-list\|. :RustFmtRange :RustFmtRange Runs \|g:rustfmt_command\| with selected range. See \|:RustFmt\| for any other information. ============================================================================== MAPPINGS rust-mappings This plugin defines mappings for \|[[\| and \|]]\| to support hanging indents. It also has a few other mappings: rust_<D-r> <D-r> Executes \|:RustRun\| with no arguments. Note: This binding is only available in MacVim. rust_<D-R> <D-R> Populates the command line with \|:RustRun\|! using the arguments given to the last invocation, but does not execute it. Note: This binding is only available in MacVim. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	9.37 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 ft_sql.txt ft_sql.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Dec 07 by David Fishburn This is a filetype plugin to work with SQL files. The Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standard which specifies statements that allow a user to interact with a relational database. Vim includes features for navigation, indentation and syntax highlighting. 1.

Navigation sql-navigation The SQL ftplugin provides a number of options to assist with file navigation. 1.1 Matchit sql-matchit ----------- The matchit plugin (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=39) provides many additional features and can be customized for different languages. The matchit plugin is configured by defining a local buffer variable, b:match_words. Pressing the % key while on various keywords will move the cursor to its match. For example, if the cursor is on an "if", pressing % will cycle between the "else", "elseif" and "end if" keywords. The following keywords are supported: > if elseif \| elsif else [if] end if [while condition] loop leave break continue exit end loop for leave break continue exit end loop do statements doend case when when default end case merge when not matched when matched create[ or replace] procedure\|function\|event returns 1.2 Text Object Motions sql-object-motions ----------------------- Vim has a number of predefined keys for working with text \|object-motions\|. This filetype plugin attempts to translate these keys to maps which make sense for the SQL language. The following \|Normal\| mode and \|Visual\| mode maps exist (when you edit a SQL file): > ]] move forward to the next 'begin' [[ move backwards to the previous 'begin' ][ move forward to the next 'end' [] move backwards to the previous 'end' 1.3 Predefined Object Motions sql-predefined-objects ----------------------------- Most relational databases support various standard features, tables, indices, triggers and stored procedures. Each vendor also has a variety of proprietary objects. The next set of maps have been created to help move between these objects. Depends on which database vendor you are using, the list of objects must be configurable. The filetype plugin attempts to define many of the standard objects, plus many additional ones. In order to make this as flexible as possible, you can override the list of objects from within your \|vimrc\| with the following: > let g:ftplugin_sql_objects = 'function,procedure,event,table,trigger' . \ ',schema,service,publication,database,datatype,domain' . \ ',index,subscription,synchronization,view,variable' The following \|Normal\| mode and \|Visual\| mode maps have been created which use the above list: > ]} move forward to the next 'create <object name>' [{ move backward to the previous 'create <object name>' Repeatedly pressing ]} will cycle through each of these create statements: > create table t1 ( ... ); create procedure p1 begin ... end; create index i1 on t1 (c1); The default setting for g:ftplugin_sql_objects is: > let g:ftplugin_sql_objects = 'function,procedure,event,' . \ '\$existing\\\\\|global\\s\\+temporary\\s\\+\$\\\{,1}' . \ 'table,trigger' . \ ',schema,service,publication,database,datatype,domain' . \ ',index,subscription,synchronization,view,variable' The above will also handle these cases: > create table t1 ( ... ); create existing table t2 ( ... ); create global temporary table t3 ( ... ); By default, the ftplugin only searches for CREATE statements. You can also override this via your \|vimrc\| with the following: > let g:ftplugin_sql_statements = 'create,alter' The filetype plugin defines three types of comments: > 1. -- 2. // 3. /* * / The following \|Normal\| mode and \|Visual\| mode maps have been created to work with comments: > ]" move forward to the beginning of a comment [" move forward to the end of a comment 1.4 Macros sql-macros* ---------- Vim's feature to find macro definitions, \|'define'\|, is supported using this regular expression: > \c\<$VARIABLE\\|DECLARE\\|IN\\|OUT\\|INOUT$\> This addresses the following code: > CREATE VARIABLE myVar1 INTEGER; CREATE PROCEDURE sp_test( IN myVar2 INTEGER, OUT myVar3 CHAR(30), INOUT myVar4 NUMERIC(20,0) ) BEGIN DECLARE myVar5 INTEGER; SELECT c1, c2, c3 INTO myVar2, myVar3, myVar4 FROM T1 WHERE c4 = myVar1; END; Place your cursor on "myVar1" on this line: > WHERE c4 = myVar1; ^ Press any of the following keys: > [d [D [CTRL-D ============================================================================== 2. SQL Dialects sql-dialects sql-types sybase TSQL Transact-SQL sqlanywhere oracle plsql sqlj sqlserver mysql postgresql psql informix All relational databases support SQL. There is a portion of SQL that is portable across vendors (ex. CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX), but there is a great deal of vendor specific extensions to SQL. Oracle supports the "CREATE OR REPLACE" syntax, column defaults specified in the CREATE TABLE statement and the procedural language (for stored procedures and triggers). The default Vim distribution ships with syntax highlighting based on Oracle's PL/SQL. The default SQL indent script works for Oracle and SQL Anywhere. The default filetype plugin works for all vendors and should remain vendor neutral, but extendable. Vim currently has support for a variety of different vendors, currently this is via syntax scripts. Unfortunately, to flip between different syntax rules you must either create: 1. New filetypes 2. Custom autocmds 3. Manual steps / commands The majority of people work with only one vendor's database product, it would be nice to specify a default in your \|vimrc\|. 2.1 SQLSetType sqlsettype SQLSetType -------------- For the people that work with many different databases, it is nice to be able to flip between the various vendors rules (indent, syntax) on a per buffer basis, at any time. The ftplugin/sql.vim file defines this function: > SQLSetType Executing this function without any parameters will set the indent and syntax scripts back to their defaults, see \|sql-type-default\|. If you have turned off Vi's compatibility mode, \|'compatible'\|, you can use the <Tab> key to complete the optional parameter. After typing the function name and a space, you can use the completion to supply a parameter. The function takes the name of the Vim script you want to source. Using the \|cmdline-completion\| feature, the SQLSetType function will search the \|'runtimepath'\| for all Vim scripts with a name containing 'sql'. This takes the guess work out of the spelling of the names. The following are examples: > :SQLSetType :SQLSetType sqloracle :SQLSetType sqlanywhere :SQLSetType sqlinformix :SQLSetType mysql The easiest approach is to the use <Tab> character which will first complete the command name (SQLSetType), after a space and another <Tab>, display a list of available Vim script names: > :SQL<Tab><space><Tab> 2.2 SQLGetType sqlgettype SQLGetType -------------- At anytime you can determine which SQL dialect you are using by calling the SQLGetType command. The ftplugin/sql.vim file defines this function: > SQLGetType This will echo: > Current SQL dialect in use:sqlanywhere 2.3 SQL Dialect Default sql-type-default ----------------------- As mentioned earlier, the default syntax rules for Vim is based on Oracle (PL/SQL). You can override this default by placing one of the following in your \|vimrc\|: > let g:sql_type_default = 'sqlanywhere' let g:sql_type_default = 'sqlinformix' let g:sql_type_default = 'mysql' If you added the following to your \|vimrc\|: > let g:sql_type_default = 'sqlinformix' The next time edit a SQL file the following scripts will be automatically loaded by Vim: > ftplugin/sql.vim syntax/sqlinformix.vim indent/sql.vim > Notice indent/sqlinformix.sql was not loaded. There is no indent file for Informix, Vim loads the default files if the specified files does not exist. ============================================================================== 3. Adding new SQL Dialects sql-adding-dialects If you begin working with a SQL dialect which does not have any customizations available with the default Vim distribution you can check http://www.vim.org to see if any customization currently exist. If not, you can begin by cloning an existing script. Read \|filetype-plugins\| for more details. To help identify these scripts, try to create the files with a "sql" prefix. If you decide you wish to create customizations for the SQLite database, you can create any of the following: > Unix ~/.vim/syntax/sqlite.vim ~/.vim/indent/sqlite.vim Windows $VIM/vimfiles/syntax/sqlite.vim $VIM/vimfiles/indent/sqlite.vim No changes are necessary to the SQLSetType function. It will automatically pick up the new SQL files and load them when you issue the SQLSetType command. ============================================================================== 4. OMNI SQL Completion sql-completion omni-sql-completion Vim 7 includes a code completion interface and functions which allows plugin developers to build in code completion for any language. Vim 7 includes code completion for the SQL language. There are two modes to the SQL completion plugin, static and dynamic. The static mode populates the popups with the data generated from current syntax highlight rules. The dynamic mode populates the popups with data retrieved directly from a database. This includes, table lists, column lists, procedures names and more. 4.1 Static Mode sql-completion-static --------------- The static popups created contain items defined by the active syntax rules while editing a file with a filetype of SQL. The plugin defines (by default) various maps to help the user refine the list of items to be displayed. The defaults static maps are: > imap <buffer> <C-C>a <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('syntax')<CR><C-X><C-O> imap <buffer> <C-C>k <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('sqlKeyword')<CR><C-X><C-O> imap <buffer> <C-C>f <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('sqlFunction')<CR><C-X><C-O> imap <buffer> <C-C>o <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('sqlOption')<CR><C-X><C-O> imap <buffer> <C-C>T <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('sqlType')<CR><C-X><C-O> imap <buffer> <C-C>s <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('sqlStatement')<CR><C-X><C-O> The use of "<C-C>" can be user chosen by using the following in your \|.vimrc\| as it may not work properly on all platforms: > let g:ftplugin_sql_omni_key = '<C-C>' > The static maps (which are based on the syntax highlight groups) follow this format: > imap <buffer> <C-C>k <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('sqlKeyword')<CR><C-X><C-O> imap <buffer> <C-C>k <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('sqlKeyword\w')<CR><C-X><C-O> This command breaks down as: > imap - Create an insert map <buffer> - Only for this buffer <C-C>k - Your choice of key map <C-\><C-O> - Execute one command, return to Insert mode :call sqlcomplete#Map( - Allows the SQL completion plugin to perform some housekeeping functions to allow it to be used in conjunction with other completion plugins. Indicate which item you want the SQL completion plugin to complete. In this case we are asking the plugin to display items from the syntax highlight group 'sqlKeyword'. You can view a list of highlight group names to choose from by executing the :syntax list command while editing a SQL file. 'sqlKeyword' - Display the items for the sqlKeyword highlight group 'sqlKeyword\w' - A second option available with Vim 7.4 which uses a regular expression to determine which syntax groups to use )<CR> - Execute the :let command <C-X><C-O> - Trigger the standard omni completion key stroke. Passing in 'sqlKeyword' instructs the SQL completion plugin to populate the popup with items from the sqlKeyword highlight group. The plugin will also cache this result until Vim is restarted. The syntax list is retrieved using the syntaxcomplete plugin. Using the 'syntax' keyword is a special case. This instructs the syntaxcomplete plugin to retrieve all syntax items. So this will effectively work for any of Vim's SQL syntax files. At the time of writing this includes 10 different syntax files for the different dialects of SQL (see section 3 above, \|sql-dialects\|). Here are some examples of the entries which are pulled from the syntax files: > All - Contains the contents of all syntax highlight groups Statements - Select, Insert, Update, Delete, Create, Alter, ... Functions - Min, Max, Trim, Round, Date, ... Keywords - Index, Database, Having, Group, With Options - Isolation_level, On_error, Qualify_owners, Fire_triggers, ... Types - Integer, Char, Varchar, Date, DateTime, Timestamp, ... 4.2 Dynamic Mode sql-completion-dynamic ---------------- Dynamic mode populates the popups with data directly from a database. In order for the dynamic feature to be enabled you must have the dbext.vim plugin installed, (http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=356). Dynamic mode is used by several features of the SQL completion plugin. After installing the dbext plugin see the dbext-tutorial for additional configuration and usage. The dbext plugin allows the SQL completion plugin to display a list of tables, procedures, views and columns. > Table List - All tables for all schema owners Procedure List - All stored procedures for all schema owners View List - All stored procedures for all schema owners Column List - For the selected table, the columns that are part of the table To enable the popup, while in INSERT mode, use the following key combinations for each group (where <C-C> means hold the CTRL key down while pressing the space bar): Table List - <C-C>t - <C-X><C-O> (the default map assumes tables) Stored Procedure List - <C-C>p View List - <C-C>v Column List - <C-C>c Drilling In / Out - When viewing a popup window displaying the list of tables, you can press <Right>, this will replace the table currently highlighted with the column list for that table. - When viewing a popup window displaying the list of columns, you can press <Left>, this will replace the column list with the list of tables. - This allows you to quickly drill down into a table to view its columns and back again. - <Right> and <Left> can be also be chosen via your \|.vimrc\| > let g:ftplugin_sql_omni_key_right = '<Right>' let g:ftplugin_sql_omni_key_left = '<Left>' The SQL completion plugin caches various lists that are displayed in the popup window. This makes the re-displaying of these lists very fast. If new tables or columns are added to the database it may become necessary to clear the plugins cache. The default map for this is: > imap <buffer> <C-C>R <C-\><C-O>:call sqlcomplete#Map('ResetCache')<CR><C-X><C-O> 4.3 SQL Tutorial sql-completion-tutorial ---------------- This tutorial is designed to take you through the common features of the SQL completion plugin so that: > a) You gain familiarity with the plugin b) You are introduced to some of the more common features c) Show how to customize it to your preferences d) Demonstrate "Best of Use" of the plugin (easiest way to configure). First, create a new buffer: > :e tutorial.sql Static features --------------- To take you through the various lists, simply enter insert mode, hit: <C-C>s (show SQL statements) At this point, you can page down through the list until you find "select". If you are familiar with the item you are looking for, for example you know the statement begins with the letter "s". You can type ahead (without the quotes) "se" then press: <C-Space>t Assuming "select" is highlighted in the popup list press <Enter> to choose the entry. Now type: * fr<C-C>a (show all syntax items) choose "from" from the popup list. When writing stored procedures using the "type" list is useful. It contains a list of all the database supported types. This may or may not be true depending on the syntax file you are using. The SQL Anywhere syntax file (sqlanywhere.vim) has support for this: > BEGIN DECLARE customer_id <C-C>T <-- Choose a type from the list Dynamic features ---------------- To take advantage of the dynamic features you must first install the dbext.vim plugin (http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=356). It also comes with a tutorial. From the SQL completion plugin's perspective, the main feature dbext provides is a connection to a database. dbext connection profiles are the most efficient mechanism to define connection information. Once connections have been setup, the SQL completion plugin uses the features of dbext in the background to populate the popups. What follows assumes dbext.vim has been correctly configured, a simple test is to run the command, :DBListTable. If a list of tables is shown, you know dbext.vim is working as expected. If not, please consult the dbext.txt documentation. Assuming you have followed the dbext-tutorial you can press <C-C>t to display a list of tables. There is a delay while dbext is creating the table list. After the list is displayed press <C-W>. This will remove both the popup window and the table name already chosen when the list became active. > 4.3.1 Table Completion: sql-completion-tables Press <C-C>t to display a list of tables from within the database you have connected via the dbext plugin. NOTE: All of the SQL completion popups support typing a prefix before pressing the key map. This will limit the contents of the popup window to just items beginning with those characters. > 4.3.2 Column Completion: sql-completion-columns The SQL completion plugin can also display a list of columns for particular tables. The column completion is triggered via <C-C>c. NOTE: The following example uses <Right> to trigger a column list while the popup window is active. Example of using column completion: - Press <C-C>t again to display the list of tables. - When the list is displayed in the completion window, press <Right>, this will replace the list of tables, with a list of columns for the table highlighted (after the same short delay). - If you press <Left>, this will again replace the column list with the list of tables. This allows you to drill into tables and column lists very quickly. - Press <Right> again while the same table is highlighted. You will notice there is no delay since the column list has been cached. If you change the schema of a cached table you can press <C-C>R, which clears the SQL completion cache. - NOTE: <Right> and <Left> have been designed to work while the completion window is active. If the completion popup window is not active, a normal <Right> or <Left> will be executed. Let's look at how we can build a SQL statement dynamically. A select statement requires a list of columns. There are two ways to build a column list using the SQL completion plugin. > One column at a time: < 1. After typing SELECT press <C-C>t to display a list of tables. 2. Choose a table from the list. 3. Press <Right> to display a list of columns. 4. Choose the column from the list and press enter. 5. Enter a "," and press <C-C>c. Generating a column list generally requires having the cursor on a table name. The plugin uses this name to determine what table to retrieve the column list. In this step, since we are pressing <C-C>c without the cursor on a table name the column list displayed will be for the previous table. Choose a different column and move on. 6. Repeat step 5 as often as necessary. > All columns for a table: < 1. After typing SELECT press <C-C>t to display a list of tables. 2. Highlight the table you need the column list for. 3. Press <Enter> to choose the table from the list. 4. Press <C-C>l to request a comma separated list of all columns for this table. 5. Based on the table name chosen in step 3, the plugin attempts to decide on a reasonable table alias. You are then prompted to either accept of change the alias. Press OK. 6. The table name is replaced with the column list of the table is replaced with the comma separate list of columns with the alias prepended to each of the columns. 7. Step 3 and 4 can be replaced by pressing <C-C>L, which has a <C-Y> embedded in the map to choose the currently highlighted table in the list. There is a special provision when writing select statements. Consider the following statement: > select * from customer c, contact cn, department as dp, employee e, site_options so where c. In INSERT mode after typing the final "c." which is an alias for the "customer" table, you can press either <C-C>c or <C-X><C-O>. This will popup a list of columns for the customer table. It does this by looking back to the beginning of the select statement and finding a list of the tables specified in the FROM clause. In this case it notes that in the string "customer c", "c" is an alias for the customer table. The optional "AS" keyword is also supported, "customer AS c". > 4.3.3 Procedure Completion: sql-completion-procedures Similar to the table list, <C-C>p, will display a list of stored procedures stored within the database. > 4.3.4 View Completion: sql-completion-views Similar to the table list, <C-C>v, will display a list of views in the database. 4.4 Completion Customization sql-completion-customization ---------------------------- The SQL completion plugin can be customized through various options set in your \|vimrc\|: > omni_sql_no_default_maps < - Default: This variable is not defined - If this variable is defined, no maps are created for OMNI completion. See \|sql-completion-maps\| for further discussion. > omni_sql_use_tbl_alias < - Default: a - This setting is only used when generating a comma separated column list. By default the map is <C-C>l. When generating a column list, an alias can be prepended to the beginning of each column, for example: e.emp_id, e.emp_name. This option has three settings: > n - do not use an alias d - use the default (calculated) alias a - ask to confirm the alias name < An alias is determined following a few rules: 1. If the table name has an '_', then use it as a separator: > MY_TABLE_NAME --> MTN my_table_name --> mtn My_table_NAME --> MtN < 2. If the table name does NOT contain an '_', but DOES use mixed case then the case is used as a separator: > MyTableName --> MTN < 3. If the table name does NOT contain an '_', and does NOT use mixed case then the first letter of the table is used: > mytablename --> m MYTABLENAME --> M omni_sql_ignorecase < - Default: Current setting for 'ignorecase' - Valid settings are 0 or 1. - When entering a few letters before initiating completion, the list will be filtered to display only the entries which begin with the list of characters. When this option is set to 0, the list will be filtered using case sensitivity. > omni_sql_include_owner < - Default: 0, unless dbext.vim 3.00 has been installed - Valid settings are 0 or 1. - When completing tables, procedure or views and using dbext.vim 3.00 or higher the list of objects will also include the owner name. When completing these objects and omni_sql_include_owner is enabled the owner name will be replaced. > omni_sql_precache_syntax_groups < - Default: ['syntax','sqlKeyword','sqlFunction','sqlOption','sqlType','sqlStatement'] - sqlcomplete can be used in conjunction with other completion plugins. This is outlined at \|sql-completion-filetypes\|. When the filetype is changed temporarily to SQL, the sqlcompletion plugin will cache the syntax groups listed in the List specified in this option. > 4.5 SQL Maps sql-completion-maps ------------ The default SQL maps have been described in other sections of this document in greater detail. Here is a list of the maps with a brief description of each. Static Maps ----------- These are maps which use populate the completion list using Vim's syntax highlighting rules. > <C-C>a < - Displays all SQL syntax items. > <C-C>k < - Displays all SQL syntax items defined as 'sqlKeyword'. > <C-C>f < - Displays all SQL syntax items defined as 'sqlFunction. > <C-C>o < - Displays all SQL syntax items defined as 'sqlOption'. > <C-C>T < - Displays all SQL syntax items defined as 'sqlType'. > <C-C>s < - Displays all SQL syntax items defined as 'sqlStatement'. > Dynamic Maps ------------ These are maps which use populate the completion list using the dbext.vim plugin. > <C-C>t < - Displays a list of tables. > <C-C>p < - Displays a list of procedures. > <C-C>v < - Displays a list of views. > <C-C>c < - Displays a list of columns for a specific table. > <C-C>l < - Displays a comma separated list of columns for a specific table. > <C-C>L < - Displays a comma separated list of columns for a specific table. This should only be used when the completion window is active. > <Right> < - Displays a list of columns for the table currently highlighted in the completion window. <Right> is not recognized on most Unix systems, so this maps is only created on the Windows platform. If you would like the same feature on Unix, choose a different key and make the same map in your vimrc. > <Left> < - Displays the list of tables. <Left> is not recognized on most Unix systems, so this maps is only created on the Windows platform. If you would like the same feature on Unix, choose a different key and make the same map in your vimrc. > <C-C>R < - This maps removes all cached items and forces the SQL completion to regenerate the list of items. Customizing Maps ---------------- You can create as many additional key maps as you like. Generally, the maps will be specifying different syntax highlight groups. If you do not wish the default maps created or the key choices do not work on your platform (often a case on nix) you define the following variable in your \|vimrc\|: > let g:omni_sql_no_default_maps = 1 Do not edit ftplugin/sql.vim directly! If you change this file your changes will be over written on future updates. Vim has a special directory structure which allows you to make customizations without changing the files that are included with the Vim distribution. If you wish to customize the maps create an after/ftplugin/sql.vim (see \|after-directory\|) and place the same maps from the ftplugin/sql.vim in it using your own key strokes. <C-C> was chosen since it will work on both Windows and nix platforms. On the windows platform you can also use <C-Space> or ALT keys. 4.6 Using with other filetypes sql-completion-filetypes ------------------------------ Many times SQL can be used with different filetypes. For example Perl, Java, PHP, Javascript can all interact with a database. Often you need both the SQL completion and the completion capabilities for the current language you are editing. This can be enabled easily with the following steps (assuming a Perl file): > 1. :e test.pl 2. :set filetype=sql 3. :set ft=perl Step 1 ------ Begins by editing a Perl file. Vim automatically sets the filetype to "perl". By default, Vim runs the appropriate filetype file ftplugin/perl.vim. If you are using the syntax completion plugin by following the directions at \|ft-syntax-omni\| then the \|'omnifunc'\| option has been set to "syntax#Complete". Pressing <C-X><C-O> will display the omni popup containing the syntax items for Perl. Step 2 ------ Manually setting the filetype to 'sql' will also fire the appropriate filetype files ftplugin/sql.vim. This file will define a number of buffer specific maps for SQL completion, see \|sql-completion-maps\|. Now these maps have been created and the SQL completion plugin has been initialized. All SQL syntax items have been cached in preparation. The SQL filetype script detects we are attempting to use two different completion plugins. Since the SQL maps begin with <C-C>, the maps will toggle the \|'omnifunc'\| when in use. So you can use <C-X><C-O> to continue using the completion for Perl (using the syntax completion plugin) and <C-C> to use the SQL completion features. Step 3 ------ Setting the filetype back to Perl sets all the usual "perl" related items back as they were. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	29.98 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 gui.txt gui.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Sep 28 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Vim's Graphical User Interface gui GUI 1. Starting the GUI \|gui-start\| 2. Scrollbars \|gui-scrollbars\| 3. Mouse Control \|gui-mouse\| 4. Making GUI Selections \|gui-selections\| 5. Menus \|menus\| 6. Font \|gui-font\| 7. Extras \|gui-extras\| 8. Shell Commands \|gui-shell\| Other GUI documentation: \|gui_x11.txt\| For specific items of the X11 GUI. \|gui_w32.txt\| For specific items of the Win32 GUI. ============================================================================== 1. Starting the GUI gui-start E229 E233 First you must make sure you actually have a version of Vim with the GUI code included. You can check this with the ":version" command, it says "with xxx GUI", where "xxx" is X11-Motif, X11-Athena, Photon, GTK2, GTK3, etc., or "MS-Windows 32 bit GUI version". How to start the GUI depends on the system used. Mostly you can run the GUI version of Vim with: gvim [options] [files...] The X11 version of Vim can run both in GUI and in non-GUI mode. See \|gui-x11-start\|. gui-init gvimrc .gvimrc _gvimrc $MYGVIMRC The gvimrc file is where GUI-specific startup commands should be placed. It is always sourced after the \|vimrc\| file. If you have one then the $MYGVIMRC environment variable has its name. When the GUI starts up initializations are carried out, in this order: - The 'term' option is set to "builtin_gui" and terminal options are reset to their default value for the GUI \|terminal-options\|. - If the system menu file exists, it is sourced. The name of this file is normally "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim". You can check this with ":version". Also see \|$VIMRUNTIME\|. To skip loading the system menu include 'M' in 'guioptions'. buffers-menu no_buffers_menu The system menu file includes a "Buffers" menu. If you don't want this, set the "no_buffers_menu" variable in your .vimrc (not .gvimrc!): > :let no_buffers_menu = 1 < NOTE: Switching on syntax highlighting also loads the menu file, thus disabling the Buffers menu must be done before ":syntax on". The path names are truncated to 35 characters. You can truncate them at a different length, for example 50, like this: > :let bmenu_max_pathlen = 50 - If the "-U {gvimrc}" command-line option has been used when starting Vim, the {gvimrc} file will be read for initializations. The following initializations are skipped. When {gvimrc} is "NONE" no file will be read for initializations. - For Unix and MS-Windows, if the system gvimrc exists, it is sourced. The name of this file is normally "$VIM/gvimrc". You can check this with ":version". Also see \|$VIM\|. - The following are tried, and only the first one that exists is used: - If the GVIMINIT environment variable exists and is not empty, it is executed as an Ex command. - If the user gvimrc file exists, it is sourced. The name of this file is normally "$HOME/.gvimrc". You can check this with ":version". - For Win32, $HOME is set by Vim if needed, see \|$HOME-windows\|. - When a "_gvimrc" file is not found, ".gvimrc" is tried too. And vice versa. The name of the first file found is stored in $MYGVIMRC, unless it was already set. - If the 'exrc' option is set (which is NOT the default) the file ./.gvimrc is sourced, if it exists and isn't the same file as the system or user gvimrc file. If this file is not owned by you, some security restrictions apply. When ".gvimrc" is not found, "_gvimrc" is tried too. For Macintosh and DOS/Win32 "_gvimrc" is tried first. NOTE: All but the first one are not carried out if Vim was started with "-u NONE" or "-u DEFAULTS" and no "-U" argument was given, or when started with "-U NONE". All this happens AFTER the normal Vim initializations, like reading your .vimrc file. See \|initialization\|. But the GUI window is only opened after all the initializations have been carried out. If you want some commands to be executed just after opening the GUI window, use the \|GUIEnter\| autocommand event. Example: > :autocmd GUIEnter * winpos 100 50 You can use the gvimrc files to set up your own customized menus (see \|:menu\|) and initialize other things that you may want to set up differently from the terminal version. Recommended place for your personal GUI initializations: Unix $HOME/.gvimrc or $HOME/.vim/gvimrc Win32 $HOME/_gvimrc, $HOME/vimfiles/gvimrc or $VIM/_gvimrc Amiga s:.gvimrc, home:.gvimrc, home:vimfiles:gvimrc or $VIM/.gvimrc Haiku $HOME/config/settings/vim/gvimrc The personal initialization files are searched in the order specified above and only the first one that is found is read. There are a number of options which only have meaning in the GUI version of Vim. These are 'guicursor', 'guifont', 'guipty' and 'guioptions'. They are documented in \|options.txt\| with all the other options. If using the Motif or Athena version of the GUI (but not for the GTK+ or Win32 version), a number of X resources are available. See \|gui-resources\|. Another way to set the colors for different occasions is with highlight groups. The "Normal" group is used to set the background and foreground colors. Example (which looks nice): > :highlight Normal guibg=grey90 The "guibg" and "guifg" settings override the normal background and foreground settings. The other settings for the Normal highlight group are not used. Use the 'guifont' option to set the font. Also check out the 'guicursor' option, to set the colors for the cursor in various modes. Vim tries to make the window fit on the screen when it starts up. This avoids that you can't see part of it. On the X Window System this requires a bit of guesswork. You can change the height that is used for the window title and a task bar with the 'guiheadroom' option. :winp :winpos E188 :winp[os] Display current position of the top left corner of the GUI vim window in pixels. Does not work in all versions. Also see \|getwinpos()\|, \|getwinposx()\| and \|getwinposy()\|. :winp[os] {X} {Y} E466 Put the GUI vim window at the given {X} and {Y} coordinates. The coordinates should specify the position in pixels of the top left corner of the window. Does not work in all versions. Does work in an (new) xterm \|xterm-color\|. When the GUI window has not been opened yet, the values are remembered until the window is opened. The position is adjusted to make the window fit on the screen (if possible). :win :winsize E465 :win[size] {width} {height} Set the window height to {width} by {height} characters. Obsolete, use ":set lines=11 columns=22". If you get less lines than expected, check the 'guiheadroom' option. If you are running the X Window System, you can get information about the window Vim is running in with these commands: > :!xwininfo -id $WINDOWID :!xprop -id $WINDOWID :execute '!xwininfo -id ' . v:windowid :execute '!xprop -id ' . v:windowid < gui-IME iBus Input methods for international characters in X that rely on the XIM framework, most notably iBus, have been known to produce undesirable results in gvim. These may include an inability to enter spaces, or long delays between typing a character and it being recognized by the application. One workaround that has been successful, for unknown reasons, is to prevent gvim from forking into the background by starting it with the \|-f\| argument. ============================================================================== 2. Scrollbars gui-scrollbars There are vertical scrollbars and a horizontal scrollbar. You may configure which ones appear with the 'guioptions' option. The interface looks like this (with ":set guioptions=mlrb"): +------------------------------+ ` \| File Edit Help \| <- Menu bar (m) ` +-+--------------------------+-+ ` \|^\| \|^\| ` \|#\| Text area. \|#\| ` \| \| \| \| ` \|v\|__________________________\|v\| ` Normal status line -> \|-+ File.c 5,2 +-\| ` between Vim windows \|^\|""""""""""""""""""""""""""\|^\| ` \| \| \| \| ` \| \| Another file buffer. \| \| ` \| \| \| \| ` \|#\| \|#\| ` Left scrollbar (l) -> \|#\| \|#\| <- Right ` \|#\| \|#\| scrollbar (r) ` \| \| \| \| ` \|v\| \|v\| ` +-+--------------------------+-+ ` \| \|< #### >\| \| <- Bottom ` +-+--------------------------+-+ scrollbar (b) ` Any of the scrollbar or menu components may be turned off by not putting the appropriate letter in the 'guioptions' string. The bottom scrollbar is only useful when 'nowrap' is set. VERTICAL SCROLLBARS gui-vert-scroll Each Vim window has a scrollbar next to it which may be scrolled up and down to move through the text in that buffer. The size of the scrollbar-thumb indicates the fraction of the buffer which can be seen in the window. When the scrollbar is dragged all the way down, the last line of the file will appear in the top of the window. If a window is shrunk to zero height (by the growth of another window) its scrollbar disappears. It reappears when the window is restored. If a window is vertically split, it will get a scrollbar when it is the current window and when, taking the middle of the current window and drawing a vertical line, this line goes through the window. When there are scrollbars on both sides, and the middle of the current window is on the left half, the right scrollbar column will contain scrollbars for the rightmost windows. The same happens on the other side. HORIZONTAL SCROLLBARS gui-horiz-scroll The horizontal scrollbar (at the bottom of the Vim GUI) may be used to scroll text sideways when the 'wrap' option is turned off. The scrollbar-thumb size is such that the text of the longest visible line may be scrolled as far as possible left and right. The cursor is moved when necessary, it must remain on a visible character (unless 'virtualedit' is set). Computing the length of the longest visible line takes quite a bit of computation, and it has to be done every time something changes. If this takes too much time or you don't like the cursor jumping to another line, include the 'h' flag in 'guioptions'. Then the scrolling is limited by the text of the current cursor line. athena-intellimouse If you have an Intellimouse and an X server that supports using the wheel, then you can use the wheel to scroll the text up and down in gvim. This works with XFree86 4.0 and later, and with some older versions when you add patches. See \|scroll-mouse-wheel\|. For older versions of XFree86 you must patch your X server. The following page has a bit of information about using the Intellimouse on Linux as well as links to the patches and X server binaries (may not have the one you need though): http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/ ============================================================================== 3. Mouse Control gui-mouse The mouse only works if the appropriate flag in the 'mouse' option is set. When the GUI is switched on, and 'mouse' wasn't set yet, the 'mouse' option is automatically set to "a", enabling it for all modes except for the \|hit-enter\| prompt. If you don't want this, a good place to change the 'mouse' option is the "gvimrc" file. Other options that are relevant: 'mousefocus' window focus follows mouse pointer \|gui-mouse-focus\| 'mousemodel' what mouse button does which action 'mousehide' hide mouse pointer while typing text 'selectmode' whether to start Select mode or Visual mode A quick way to set these is with the ":behave" command. :behave :be :be[have] {model} Set behavior for mouse and selection. Valid arguments are: mswin MS-Windows behavior xterm Xterm behavior Using ":behave" changes these options: option mswin xterm ~ 'selectmode' "mouse,key" "" 'mousemodel' "popup" "extend" 'keymodel' "startsel,stopsel" "" 'selection' "exclusive" "inclusive" In the $VIMRUNTIME directory, there is a script called \|mswin.vim\|, which will also map a few keys to the MS-Windows cut/copy/paste commands. This is NOT compatible, since it uses the CTRL-V, CTRL-X and CTRL-C keys. If you don't mind, use this command: > :so $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim For scrolling with a wheel on a mouse, see \|scroll-mouse-wheel\|. 3.1 Moving Cursor with Mouse gui-mouse-move Click the left mouse button somewhere in a text buffer where you want the cursor to go, and it does! This works in when 'mouse' contains ~ Normal mode 'n' or 'a' Visual mode 'v' or 'a' Insert mode 'i' or 'a' Select mode is handled like Visual mode. You may use this with an operator such as 'd' to delete text from the current cursor position to the position you point to with the mouse. That is, you hit 'd' and then click the mouse somewhere. gui-mouse-focus The 'mousefocus' option can be set to make the keyboard focus follow the mouse pointer. This means that the window where the mouse pointer is, is the active window. Warning: this doesn't work very well when using a menu, because the menu command will always be applied to the top window. If you are on the ':' line (or '/' or '?'), then clicking the left or right mouse button will position the cursor on the ':' line (if 'mouse' contains 'c' or 'a'). In any situation the middle mouse button may be clicked to paste the current selection. 3.2 Selection with Mouse gui-mouse-select The mouse can be used to start a selection. How depends on the 'mousemodel' option: 'mousemodel' is "extend": use the right mouse button 'mousemodel' is "popup": use the left mouse button, while keeping the Shift key pressed. If there was no selection yet, this starts a selection from the old cursor position to the position pointed to with the mouse. If there already is a selection then the closest end will be extended. If 'selectmode' contains "mouse", then the selection will be in Select mode. This means that typing normal text will replace the selection. See \|Select-mode\|. Otherwise, the selection will be in Visual mode. Double clicking may be done to make the selection word-wise, triple clicking makes it line-wise, and quadruple clicking makes it rectangular block-wise. See \|gui-selections\| on how the selection is used. 3.3 Other Text Selection with Mouse gui-mouse-modeless modeless-selection A different kind of selection is used when: - in Command-line mode - in the Command-line window and pointing in another window - at the \|hit-enter\| prompt - whenever the current mode is not in the 'mouse' option - when holding the CTRL and SHIFT keys in the GUI Since Vim continues like the selection isn't there, and there is no mode associated with the selection, this is called modeless selection. Any text in the Vim window can be selected. Select the text by pressing the left mouse button at the start, drag to the end and release. To extend the selection, use the right mouse button when 'mousemodel' is "extend", or the left mouse button with the shift key pressed when 'mousemodel' is "popup". The selection is removed when the selected text is scrolled or changed. On the command line CTRL-Y can be used to copy the selection into the clipboard. To do this from Insert mode, use CTRL-O : CTRL-Y <CR>. When 'guioptions' contains a or A (default on X11), the selection is automatically copied to the "* register. The middle mouse button can then paste the text. On non-X11 systems, you can use CTRL-R +. 3.4 Using Mouse on Status Lines gui-mouse-status Clicking the left or right mouse button on the status line below a Vim window makes that window the current window. This actually happens on button release (to be able to distinguish a click from a drag action). With the left mouse button a status line can be dragged up and down, thus resizing the windows above and below it. This does not change window focus. The same can be used on the vertical separator: click to give the window left of it focus, drag left and right to make windows wider and narrower. 3.5 Various Mouse Clicks gui-mouse-various <S-LeftMouse> Search forward for the word under the mouse click. When 'mousemodel' is "popup" this starts or extends a selection. <S-RightMouse> Search backward for the word under the mouse click. <C-LeftMouse> Jump to the tag name under the mouse click. <C-RightMouse> Jump back to position before the previous tag jump (same as "CTRL-T") 3.6 Mouse Mappings gui-mouse-mapping The mouse events, complete with modifiers, may be mapped. Eg: > :map <S-LeftMouse> <RightMouse> :map <S-LeftDrag> <RightDrag> :map <S-LeftRelease> <RightRelease> :map <2-S-LeftMouse> <2-RightMouse> :map <2-S-LeftDrag> <2-RightDrag> :map <2-S-LeftRelease> <2-RightRelease> :map <3-S-LeftMouse> <3-RightMouse> :map <3-S-LeftDrag> <3-RightDrag> :map <3-S-LeftRelease> <3-RightRelease> :map <4-S-LeftMouse> <4-RightMouse> :map <4-S-LeftDrag> <4-RightDrag> :map <4-S-LeftRelease> <4-RightRelease> These mappings make selection work the way it probably should in a Motif application, with shift-left mouse allowing for extending the visual area rather than the right mouse button. Mouse mapping with modifiers does not work for modeless selection. 3.7 Drag and drop drag-n-drop You can drag and drop one or more files into the Vim window, where they will be opened as if a \|:drop\| command was used. If you hold down Shift while doing this, Vim changes to the first dropped file's directory. If you hold Ctrl Vim will always split a new window for the file. Otherwise it's only done if the current buffer has been changed. You can also drop a directory on Vim. This starts the explorer plugin for that directory (assuming it was enabled, otherwise you'll get an error message). Keep Shift pressed to change to the directory instead. If Vim happens to be editing a command line, the names of the dropped files and directories will be inserted at the cursor. This allows you to use these names with any Ex command. Special characters (space, tab, double quote and '\|'; backslash on non-MS-Windows systems) will be escaped. ============================================================================== 4. Making GUI Selections gui-selections quotestar You may make selections with the mouse (see \|gui-mouse-select\|), or by using Vim's Visual mode (see \|v\|). If 'a' is present in 'guioptions', then whenever a selection is started (Visual or Select mode), or when the selection is changed, Vim becomes the owner of the windowing system's primary selection (on MS-Windows the \|gui-clipboard\| is used; under X11, the \|x11-selection\| is used - you should read whichever of these is appropriate now). clipboard There is a special register for storing this selection, it is the "* register. Nothing is put in here unless the information about what text is selected is about to change (e.g. with a left mouse click somewhere), or when another application wants to paste the selected text. Then the text is put in the "* register. For example, to cut a line and make it the current selection/put it on the clipboard: > "dd Similarly, when you want to paste a selection from another application, e.g., by clicking the middle mouse button, the selection is put in the " register first, and then 'put' like any other register. For example, to put the selection (contents of the clipboard): > "p When using this register under X11, also see \|x11-selection\|. This also explains the related "+ register. Note that when pasting text from one Vim into another separate Vim, the type of selection (character, line, or block) will also be copied. For other applications the type is always character. However, if the text gets transferred via the \|x11-cut-buffer\|, the selection type is ALWAYS lost. When the "unnamed" string is included in the 'clipboard' option, the unnamed register is the same as the " register. Thus you can yank to and paste the selection without prepending "* to commands. ============================================================================== 5. Menus menus For an introduction see \|usr_42.txt\| in the user manual. 5.1 Using Menus using-menus Basically, menus can be used just like mappings. You can define your own menus, as many as you like. Long-time Vim users won't use menus much. But the power is in adding your own menus and menu items. They are most useful for things that you can't remember what the key sequence was. For creating menus in a different language, see \|:menutrans\|. If you don't want to use menus at all, see \|'go-M'\|. menu.vim The default menus are read from the file "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim". See \|$VIMRUNTIME\| for where the path comes from. You can set up your own menus. Starting off with the default set is a good idea. You can add more items, or, if you don't like the defaults at all, start with removing all menus \|:unmenu-all\|. You can also avoid the default menus being loaded by adding this line to your .vimrc file (NOT your .gvimrc file!): > :let did_install_default_menus = 1 If you also want to avoid the Syntax menu: > :let did_install_syntax_menu = 1 The first item in the Syntax menu can be used to show all available filetypes in the menu (which can take a bit of time to load). If you want to have all filetypes already present at startup, add: > :let do_syntax_sel_menu = 1 The following menuitems show all available color schemes, keymaps and compiler settings: Edit > Color Scheme ~ Edit > Keymap ~ Tools > Set Compiler ~ However, they can also take a bit of time to load, because they search all related files from the directories in 'runtimepath'. Therefore they are loaded lazily (by the \|CursorHold\| event), or you can also load them manually. If you want to have all these items already present at startup, add: > :let do_no_lazyload_menus = 1 Note that the menu.vim is sourced when `:syntax on` or `:filetype on` is executed or after your .vimrc file is sourced. This means that the 'encoding' option and the language of messages (`:language messages`) must be set before that (if you want to change them). console-menus Although this documentation is in the GUI section, you can actually use menus in console mode too. You will have to load \|menu.vim\| explicitly then, it is not done by default. You can use the \|:emenu\| command and command-line completion with 'wildmenu' to access the menu entries almost like a real menu system. To do this, put these commands in your .vimrc file: > :source $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim :set wildmenu :set cpo-=< :set wcm=<C-Z> :map <F4> :emenu <C-Z> Pressing <F4> will start the menu. You can now use the cursor keys to select a menu entry. Hit <Enter> to execute it. Hit <Esc> if you want to cancel. This does require the \|+menu\| feature enabled at compile time. tear-off-menus GTK+ 2 and Motif support Tear-off menus. These are sort of sticky menus or pop-up menus that are present all the time. If the resizing does not work correctly, this may be caused by using something like "Vimgeometry" in the defaults. Use "Vim.geometry" instead. As to GTK+ 3, tear-off menus have been deprecated since GTK+ 3.4. Accordingly, they are disabled if gvim is linked against GTK+ 3.4 or later. The Win32 GUI version emulates Motif's tear-off menus. Actually, a Motif user will spot the differences easily, but hopefully they're just as useful. You can also use the \|:tearoff\| command together with \|hidden-menus\| to create floating menus that do not appear on the main menu bar. 5.2 Creating New Menus creating-menus* :me :menu :noreme :noremenu E330 E327 E331 E336 E333 E328 E329 E337 E792 To create a new menu item, use the ":menu" commands. They are mostly like the ":map" set of commands (see \|map-modes\|), but the first argument is a menu item name, given as a path of menus and submenus with a '.' between them, e.g.: > :menu File.Save :w<CR> :inoremenu File.Save <C-O>:w<CR> :menu Edit.Big\ Changes.Delete\ All\ Spaces :%s/[ ^I]//g<CR> This last one will create a new item in the menu bar called "Edit", holding the mouse button down on this will pop up a menu containing the item "Big Changes", which is a sub-menu containing the item "Delete All Spaces", which when selected, performs the operation. To create a menu for terminal mode, use \|:tlmenu\| instead of \|:tmenu\| unlike key mapping (\|:tmap\|). This is because \|:tmenu\| is already used for defining tooltips for menus. See \|terminal-typing\|. Special characters in a menu name: menu-shortcut & The next character is the shortcut key. Make sure each shortcut key is only used once in a (sub)menu. If you want to insert a literal "&" in the menu name use "&&". menu-text <Tab> Separates the menu name from right-aligned text. This can be used to show the equivalent typed command. The text "<Tab>" can be used here for convenience. If you are using a real tab, don't forget to put a backslash before it! Example: > :amenu &File.&Open<Tab>:e :browse e<CR> [typed literally] With the shortcut "F" (while keeping the <Alt> key pressed), and then "O", this menu can be used. The second part is shown as "Open :e". The ":e" is right aligned, and the "O" is underlined, to indicate it is the shortcut. :am :amenu :an :anoremenu The ":amenu" command can be used to define menu entries for all modes at once, except for Terminal mode. To make the command work correctly, a character is automatically inserted for some modes: mode inserted appended ~ Normal nothing nothing Visual <C-C> <C-\><C-G> Insert <C-\><C-O> Cmdline <C-C> <C-\><C-G> Op-pending <C-C> <C-\><C-G> Appending CTRL-\ CTRL-G is for going back to insert mode when 'insertmode' is set. \|CTRL-\_CTRL-G\| Example: > :amenu File.Next :next^M is equal to: > :nmenu File.Next :next^M :vmenu File.Next ^C:next^M^\^G :imenu File.Next ^\^O:next^M :cmenu File.Next ^C:next^M^\^G :omenu File.Next ^C:next^M^\^G Careful: In Insert mode this only works for a SINGLE Normal mode command, because of the CTRL-O. If you have two or more commands, you will need to use the ":imenu" command. For inserting text in any mode, you can use the expression register: > :amenu Insert.foobar "='foobar'<CR>P Note that the '<' and 'k' flags in 'cpoptions' also apply here (when included they make the <> form and raw key codes not being recognized). Note that <Esc> in Cmdline mode executes the command, like in a mapping. This is Vi compatible. Use CTRL-C to quit Cmdline mode. :nme :nmenu :nnoreme :nnoremenu :nunme :nunmenu Menu commands starting with "n" work in Normal mode. \|mapmode-n\| :ome :omenu :onoreme :onoremenu :ounme :ounmenu Menu commands starting with "o" work in Operator-pending mode. \|mapmode-o\| :vme :vmenu :vnoreme :vnoremenu :vunme :vunmenu Menu commands starting with "v" work in Visual mode. \|mapmode-v\| :xme :xmenu :xnoreme :xnoremenu :xunme :xunmenu Menu commands starting with "x" work in Visual and Select mode. \|mapmode-x\| :sme :smenu :snoreme :snoremenu :sunme :sunmenu Menu commands starting with "s" work in Select mode. \|mapmode-s\| :ime :imenu :inoreme :inoremenu :iunme :iunmenu Menu commands starting with "i" work in Insert mode. \|mapmode-i\| :cme :cmenu :cnoreme :cnoremenu :cunme :cunmenu Menu commands starting with "c" work in Cmdline mode. \|mapmode-c\| :tlm :tlmenu :tln :tlnoremenu :tlu :tlunmenu Menu commands starting with "tl" work in Terminal mode. \|mapmode-t\| :menu-<silent> :menu-silent To define a menu which will not be echoed on the command line, add "<silent>" as the first argument. Example: > :menu <silent> Settings.Ignore\ case :set ic<CR> The ":set ic" will not be echoed when using this menu. Messages from the executed command are still given though. To shut them up too, add a ":silent" in the executed command: > :menu <silent> Search.Header :exe ":silent normal /Header\r"<CR> "<silent>" may also appear just after "<special>" or "<script>". :menu-<special> :menu-special Define a menu with <> notation for special keys, even though the "<" flag may appear in 'cpoptions'. This is useful if the side effect of setting 'cpoptions' is not desired. Example: > :menu <special> Search.Header /Header<CR> "<special>" must appear as the very first argument to the ":menu" command or just after "<silent>" or "<script>". :menu-<script> :menu-script The "to" part of the menu will be inspected for mappings. If you don't want this, use the ":noremenu" command (or the similar one for a specific mode). If you do want to use script-local mappings, add "<script>" as the very first argument to the ":menu" command or just after "<silent>" or "<special>". menu-priority You can give a priority to a menu. Menus with a higher priority go more to the right. The priority is given as a number before the ":menu" command. Example: > :80menu Buffer.next :bn<CR> The default menus have these priorities: File 10 Edit 20 Tools 40 Syntax 50 Buffers 60 Window 70 Help 9999 When no or zero priority is given, 500 is used. The priority for the PopUp menu is not used. The Help menu will be placed on the far right side of the menu bar on systems which support this (Motif and GTK+). For GTK+ 2 and 3, this is not done anymore because right-aligning the Help menu is now discouraged UI design. You can use a priority higher than 9999, to make it go after the Help menu, but that is non-standard and is discouraged. The highest possible priority is about 32000. The lowest is 1. sub-menu-priority The same mechanism can be used to position a sub-menu. The priority is then given as a dot-separated list of priorities, before the menu name: > :menu 80.500 Buffer.next :bn<CR> Giving the sub-menu priority is only needed when the item is not to be put in a normal position. For example, to put a sub-menu before the other items: > :menu 80.100 Buffer.first :brew<CR> Or to put a sub-menu after the other items, and further items with default priority will be put before it: > :menu 80.900 Buffer.last :blast<CR> When a number is missing, the default value 500 will be used: > :menu .900 myMenu.test :echo "text"<CR> The menu priority is only used when creating a new menu. When it already existed, e.g., in another mode, the priority will not change. Thus, the priority only needs to be given the first time a menu is used. An exception is the PopUp menu. There is a separate menu for each mode (Normal, Op-pending, Visual, Insert, Cmdline). The order in each of these menus can be different. This is different from menu-bar menus, which have the same order for all modes. NOTE: sub-menu priorities currently don't work for all versions of the GUI. menu-separator E332 Menu items can be separated by a special item that inserts some space between items. Depending on the system this is displayed as a line or a dotted line. These items must start with a '-' and end in a '-'. The part in between is used to give it a unique name. Priorities can be used as with normal items. Example: > :menu Example.item1 :do something :menu Example.-Sep- : :menu Example.item2 :do something different Note that the separator also requires a rhs. It doesn't matter what it is, because the item will never be selected. Use a single colon to keep it simple. gui-toolbar The toolbar is currently available in the Win32, Athena, Motif, GTK+ (X11), and Photon GUI. It should turn up in other GUIs in due course. The default toolbar is setup in menu.vim. The display of the toolbar is controlled by the 'guioptions' letter 'T'. You can thus have menu & toolbar together, or either on its own, or neither. The appearance is controlled by the 'toolbar' option. You can choose between an image, text or both. toolbar-icon The toolbar is defined as a special menu called ToolBar, which only has one level. Vim interprets the items in this menu as follows: 1) If an "icon=" argument was specified, the file with this name is used. The file can either be specified with the full path or with the base name. In the last case it is searched for in the "bitmaps" directory in 'runtimepath', like in point 3. Examples: > :amenu icon=/usr/local/pixmaps/foo_icon.xpm ToolBar.Foo :echo "Foo"<CR> :amenu icon=FooIcon ToolBar.Foo :echo "Foo"<CR> < Note that in the first case the extension is included, while in the second case it is omitted. If the file cannot be opened the next points are tried. A space in the file name must be escaped with a backslash. A menu priority must come _after_ the icon argument: > :amenu icon=foo 1.42 ToolBar.Foo :echo "42!"<CR> 2) An item called 'BuiltIn##', where ## is a number, is taken as number ## of the built-in bitmaps available in Vim. Currently there are 31 numbered from 0 to 30 which cover most common editing operations \|builtin-tools\|. > :amenu ToolBar.BuiltIn22 :call SearchNext("back")<CR> 3) An item with another name is first searched for in the directory "bitmaps" in 'runtimepath'. If found, the bitmap file is used as the toolbar button image. Note that the exact filename is OS-specific: For example, under Win32 the command > :amenu ToolBar.Hello :echo "hello"<CR> < would find the file 'hello.bmp'. Under GTK+/X11 it is 'Hello.xpm'. With GTK+ 2 the files 'Hello.png', 'Hello.xpm' and 'Hello.bmp' are checked for existence, and the first one found would be used. For MS-Windows and GTK+ 2 the bitmap is scaled to fit the button. For MS-Windows a size of 18 by 18 pixels works best. For MS-Windows the bitmap should have 16 colors with the standard palette. The light grey pixels will be changed to the Window frame color and the dark grey pixels to the window shadow color. More colors might also work, depending on your system. 4) If the bitmap is still not found, Vim checks for a match against its list of built-in names. Each built-in button image has a name. So the command > :amenu ToolBar.Open :e < will show the built-in "open a file" button image if no open.bmp exists. All the built-in names can be seen used in menu.vim. 5) If all else fails, a blank, but functioning, button is displayed. builtin-tools nr Name Normal action ~ 00 New open new window 01 Open browse for file to open in current window 02 Save write buffer to file 03 Undo undo last change 04 Redo redo last undone change 05 Cut delete selected text to clipboard 06 Copy copy selected text to clipboard 07 Paste paste text from clipboard 08 Print print current buffer 09 Help open a buffer on Vim's builtin help 10 Find start a search command 11 SaveAll write all modified buffers to file 12 SaveSesn write session file for current situation 13 NewSesn write new session file 14 LoadSesn load session file 15 RunScript browse for file to run as a Vim script 16 Replace prompt for substitute command 17 WinClose close current window 18 WinMax make current window use many lines 19 WinMin make current window use few lines 20 WinSplit split current window 21 Shell start a shell 22 FindPrev search again, backward 23 FindNext search again, forward 24 FindHelp prompt for word to search help for 25 Make run make and jump to first error 26 TagJump jump to tag under the cursor 27 RunCtags build tags for files in current directory 28 WinVSplit split current window vertically 29 WinMaxWidth make current window use many columns 30 WinMinWidth make current window use few columns hidden-menus win32-hidden-menus In the Win32 and GTK+ GUI, starting a menu name with ']' excludes that menu from the main menu bar. You must then use the \|:popup\| or \|:tearoff\| command to display it. window-toolbar WinBar Each window can have a local toolbar. This uses the first line of the window, thus reduces the space for the text by one line. The items in the toolbar must start with "WinBar". Only text can be used. When using Unicode, special characters can be used to make the items look like icons. If the items do not fit then the last ones cannot be used. The toolbar does not wrap. Note that Vim may be in any mode when executing these commands. The menu should be defined for Normal mode and will be executed without changing the current mode. Thus if the current window is in Visual mode and the menu command does not intentionally change the mode, Vim will remain in Visual mode. Best is to use `:nnoremenu` to avoid side effects. Example for debugger tools: > nnoremenu 1.10 WinBar.Step :Step<CR> nnoremenu 1.20 WinBar.Next :Next<CR> nnoremenu 1.30 WinBar.Finish :Finish<CR> nnoremenu 1.40 WinBar.Cont :Continue<CR> < The window toolbar uses the ToolbarLine and ToolbarButton highlight groups. When splitting the window the window toolbar is not copied to the new window. popup-menu In the Win32, GTK+, Motif, Athena and Photon GUI, you can define the special menu "PopUp". This is the menu that is displayed when the right mouse button is pressed, if 'mousemodel' is set to popup or popup_setpos. Example: > nnoremenu 1.40 PopUp.&Paste "+gP menu PopUp 5.3 Showing What Menus Are Mapped To showing-menus To see what an existing menu is mapped to, use just one argument after the menu commands (just like you would with the ":map" commands). If the menu specified is a submenu, then all menus under that hierarchy will be shown. If no argument is given after :menu at all, then ALL menu items are shown for the appropriate mode (e.g., Command-line mode for :cmenu). Special characters in the list, just before the rhs: * The menu was defined with "nore" to disallow remapping. & The menu was defined with "<script>" to allow remapping script-local mappings only. s The menu was defined with "<silent>" to avoid showing what it is mapped to when triggered. - The menu was disabled. Note that hitting <Tab> while entering a menu name after a menu command may be used to complete the name of the menu item. 5.4 Executing Menus execute-menus :em :emenu E334 E335 :[range]em[enu] {menu} Execute {menu} from the command line. The default is to execute the Normal mode menu. If a range is specified, it executes the Visual mode menu. If used from <c-o>, it executes the insert-mode menu Eg: > :emenu File.Exit :[range]em[enu] {mode} {menu} Like above, but execute the menu for {mode}: 'n': \|:nmenu\| Normal mode 'v': \|:vmenu\| Visual mode 's': \|:smenu\| Select mode 'o': \|:omenu\| Operator-pending mode 't': \|:tlmenu\| Terminal mode 'i': \|:imenu\| Insert mode 'c': \|:cmenu\| Cmdline mode If the console-mode vim has been compiled with WANT_MENU defined, you can use :emenu to access useful menu items you may have got used to from GUI mode. See 'wildmenu' for an option that works well with this. See \|console-menus\| for an example. When using a range, if the lines match with '<,'>, then the menu is executed using the last visual selection. 5.5 Deleting Menus delete-menus :unme :unmenu :aun :aunmenu To delete a menu item or a whole submenu, use the unmenu commands, which are analogous to the unmap commands. Eg: > :unmenu! Edit.Paste This will remove the Paste item from the Edit menu for Insert and Command-line modes. Note that hitting <Tab> while entering a menu name after an umenu command may be used to complete the name of the menu item for the appropriate mode. To remove all menus use: :unmenu-all > :unmenu * " remove all menus in Normal and visual mode :unmenu! * " remove all menus in Insert and Command-line mode :aunmenu * " remove all menus in all modes, except for Terminal " mode :tlunmenu * " remove all menus in Terminal mode If you want to get rid of the menu bar: > :set guioptions-=m 5.6 Disabling Menus disable-menus :menu-disable :menu-enable If you do not want to remove a menu, but disable it for a moment, this can be done by adding the "enable" or "disable" keyword to a ":menu" command. Examples: > :menu disable &File.&Open\.\.\. :amenu enable * :amenu disable &Tools.* The command applies to the modes as used with all menu commands. Note that characters like "&" need to be included for translated names to be found. When the argument is "", all menus are affected. Otherwise the given menu name and all existing submenus below it are affected. 5.7 Examples for Menus menu-examples* Here is an example on how to add menu items with menu's! You can add a menu item for the keyword under the cursor. The register "z" is used. > :nmenu Words.Add\ Var wb"zye:menu! Words.<C-R>z <C-R>z<CR> :nmenu Words.Remove\ Var wb"zye:unmenu! Words.<C-R>z<CR> :vmenu Words.Add\ Var "zy:menu! Words.<C-R>z <C-R>z <CR> :vmenu Words.Remove\ Var "zy:unmenu! Words.<C-R>z<CR> :imenu Words.Add\ Var <Esc>wb"zye:menu! Words.<C-R>z <C-R>z<CR>a :imenu Words.Remove\ Var <Esc>wb"zye:unmenu! Words.<C-R>z<CR>a (the rhs is in <> notation, you can copy/paste this text to try out the mappings, or put these lines in your gvimrc; "<C-R>" is CTRL-R, "<CR>" is the <CR> key. \|<>\|) tooltips menu-tips 5.8 Tooltips & Menu tips See section \|42.4\| in the user manual. :tmenu :tm :tm[enu] {menupath} {rhs} Define a tip for a menu or tool. {only in X11 and Win32 GUI} :tm[enu] [menupath] List menu tips. {only in X11 and Win32 GUI} :tunmenu :tu :tu[nmenu] {menupath} Remove a tip for a menu or tool. {only in X11 and Win32 GUI} Note: To create menus for terminal mode, use \|:tlmenu\| instead. When a tip is defined for a menu item, it appears in the command-line area when the mouse is over that item, much like a standard Windows menu hint in the status bar. (Except when Vim is in Command-line mode, when of course nothing is displayed.) When a tip is defined for a ToolBar item, it appears as a tooltip when the mouse pauses over that button, in the usual fashion. Use the \|hl-Tooltip\| highlight group to change its colors. A "tip" can be defined for each menu item. For example, when defining a menu item like this: > :amenu MyMenu.Hello :echo "Hello"<CR> The tip is defined like this: > :tmenu MyMenu.Hello Displays a greeting. And delete it with: > :tunmenu MyMenu.Hello Tooltips are currently only supported for the X11 and Win32 GUI. However, they should appear for the other gui platforms in the not too distant future. The ":tmenu" command works just like other menu commands, it uses the same arguments. ":tunmenu" deletes an existing menu tip, in the same way as the other unmenu commands. If a menu item becomes invalid (i.e. its actions in all modes are deleted) Vim deletes the menu tip (and the item) for you. This means that :aunmenu deletes a menu item - you don't need to do a :tunmenu as well. 5.9 Popup Menus In the Win32 and GTK+ GUI, you can cause a menu to popup at the cursor. This behaves similarly to the PopUp menus except that any menu tree can be popped up. This command is for backwards compatibility, using it is discouraged, because it behaves in a strange way. :popup :popu :popu[p] {name} Popup the menu {name}. The menu named must have at least one subentry, but need not appear on the menu-bar (see \|hidden-menus\|). {only available for Win32 and GTK GUI or in the terminal} :popu[p]! {name} Like above, but use the position of the mouse pointer instead of the cursor. In the terminal this is the last known position, which is usually at the last click or release (mouse movement is irrelevant). Example: > :popup File will make the "File" menu (if there is one) appear at the text cursor (mouse pointer if ! was used). > :amenu ]Toolbar.Make :make<CR> :popup ]Toolbar This creates a popup menu that doesn't exist on the main menu-bar. Note that in the GUI the :popup command will return immediately, before a selection has been made. In the terminal the commands waits for the user to make a selection. Note that a menu that starts with ']' will not be displayed. ============================================================================== 6. Font This section describes font related options. GUIFONT gui-font 'guifont' is the option that tells Vim what font to use. In its simplest form the value is just one font name. It can also be a list of font names separated with commas. The first valid font is used. When no valid font can be found you will get an error message. On systems where 'guifontset' is supported (X11) and 'guifontset' is not empty, then 'guifont' is not used. See \|xfontset\|. Note: As to the GTK GUIs, no error is given against any invalid names, and the first element of the list is always picked up and made use of. This is because, instead of identifying a given name with a font, the GTK GUIs use it to construct a pattern and try to look up a font which best matches the pattern among available fonts, and this way, the matching never fails. An invalid name doesn't matter because a number of font properties other than name will do to get the matching done. Spaces after a comma are ignored. To include a comma in a font name precede it with a backslash. Setting an option requires an extra backslash before a space and a backslash. See also \|option-backslash\|. For example: > :set guifont=Screen15,\ 7x13,font\\,with\\,commas will make Vim try to use the font "Screen15" first, and if it fails it will try to use "7x13" and then "font,with,commas" instead. If none of the fonts can be loaded, Vim will keep the current setting. If an empty font list is given, Vim will try using other resource settings (for X, it will use the Vim.font resource), and finally it will try some builtin default which should always be there ("7x13" in the case of X). The font names given should be "normal" fonts. Vim will try to find the related bold and italic fonts. For Win32, GTK, Motif, Mac OS and Photon: > :set guifont=* will bring up a font requester, where you can pick the font you want. The font name depends on the GUI used. See \|setting-guifont\| for a way to set 'guifont' for various systems. For the GTK+ 2 and 3 GUIs, the font name looks like this: > :set guifont=Andale\ Mono\ 11 That's all. XLFDs are not used. For Chinese this is reported to work well: > if has("gui_gtk2") set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 12,Fixed\ 12 set guifontwide=Microsoft\ Yahei\ 12,WenQuanYi\ Zen\ Hei\ 12 endif < (Replace gui_gtk2 with gui_gtk3 for the GTK+ 3 GUI) For Mac OSX you can use something like this: > :set guifont=Monaco:h10 Mono-spaced fonts E236 Note that the fonts must be mono-spaced (all characters have the same width). An exception is GTK: all fonts are accepted, but mono-spaced fonts look best. To preview a font on X11, you might be able to use the "xfontsel" program. The "xlsfonts" program gives a list of all available fonts. For the Win32 GUI E244 E245 - Takes these options in the font name (use a ':' to separate the options): hXX - height is XX (points, can be floating-point) wXX - width is XX (points, can be floating-point) WXX - weight is XX (see Note on Weights below) b - bold. This is equivalent to setting the weight to 700. i - italic u - underline s - strikeout cXX - character set XX. Valid charsets are: ANSI, ARABIC, BALTIC, CHINESEBIG5, DEFAULT, EASTEUROPE, GB2312, GREEK, HANGEUL, HEBREW, JOHAB, MAC, OEM, RUSSIAN, SHIFTJIS, SYMBOL, THAI, TURKISH and VIETNAMESE. Normally you would use "cDEFAULT". qXX - quality XX. Valid quality names are: PROOF, DRAFT, ANTIALIASED, NONANTIALIASED, CLEARTYPE and DEFAULT. Normally you would use "qDEFAULT". Some quality values are not supported in legacy OSs. - A '_' can be used in the place of a space, so you don't need to use backslashes to escape the spaces. Examples: > :set guifont=courier_new:h12:w5:b:cRUSSIAN :set guifont=Andale_Mono:h7.5:w4.5 See also \|font-sizes\|. Note on Weights: Fonts often come with a variety of weights. "Normal" weights in Windows have a value of 400 and, left unspecified, this is the value that will be used when attempting to find fonts. Windows will often match fonts based on their weight with higher priority than the font name which means a Book or Medium variant of a font might be used despite specifying a Light or ExtraLight variant. If you are experiencing heavier weight substitution, then explicitly setting a lower weight value may mitigate against this unwanted substitution. GUIFONTWIDE gui-fontwide When not empty, 'guifontwide' specifies a comma-separated list of fonts to be used for double-width characters. The first font that can be loaded is used. Note: The size of these fonts must be exactly twice as wide as the one specified with 'guifont' and the same height. If there is a mismatch then the text will not be drawn correctly. All GUI versions but GTK+: 'guifontwide' is only used when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and 'guifontset' is empty or invalid. When 'guifont' is set and a valid font is found in it and 'guifontwide' is empty Vim will attempt to find a matching double-width font and set 'guifontwide' to it. GTK+ GUI only: guifontwide_gtk If set and valid, 'guifontwide' is always used for double width characters, even if 'encoding' is not set to "utf-8". Vim does not attempt to find an appropriate value for 'guifontwide' automatically. If 'guifontwide' is empty Pango/Xft will choose the font for characters not available in 'guifont'. Thus you do not need to set 'guifontwide' at all unless you want to override the choice made by Pango/Xft. Windows +multibyte only: guifontwide_win_mbyte If set and valid, 'guifontwide' is used for IME instead of 'guifont'. ============================================================================== 7. Extras gui-extras This section describes other features which are related to the GUI. - With the GUI, there is no wait for one second after hitting escape, because the key codes don't start with <Esc>. - Typing ^V followed by a special key in the GUI will insert "<Key>", since the internal string used is meaningless. Modifiers may also be held down to get "<Modifiers-Key>". - In the GUI, the modifiers SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT (or META) may be used within mappings of special keys and mouse events. E.g.: :map <M-LeftDrag> <LeftDrag> - In the GUI, several normal keys may have modifiers in mappings etc, these are <Space>, <Tab>, <NL>, <CR>, <Esc>. - To check in a Vim script if the GUI is being used, you can use something like this: > if has("gui_running") echo "yes, we have a GUI" else echo "Boring old console" endif < setting-guifont - When you use the same vimrc file on various systems, you can use something like this to set options specifically for each type of GUI: > if has("gui_running") if has("gui_gtk2") :set guifont=Luxi\ Mono\ 12 elseif has("x11") " Also for GTK 1 :set guifont=-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal---180---m--* elseif has("gui_win32") :set guifont=Luxi_Mono:h12:cANSI endif endif A recommended Japanese font is MS Mincho. You can find info here: http://www.lexikan.com/mincho.htm ============================================================================== 8. Shell Commands gui-shell For the X11 GUI the external commands are executed inside the gvim window. See \|gui-pty\|. WARNING: Executing an external command from the X11 GUI will not always work. "normal" commands like "ls", "grep" and "make" mostly work fine. Commands that require an intelligent terminal like "less" and "ispell" won't work. Some may even hang and need to be killed from another terminal. So be careful! For the Win32 GUI the external commands are executed in a separate window. See \|gui-shell-win32\|. vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	51.5 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 gui_w32.txt gui_w32.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Mar 25 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Vim's Win32 Graphical User Interface gui-w32 win32-gui 1. Starting the GUI \|gui-w32-start\| 2. Vim as default editor \|vim-default-editor\| 3. Using the clipboard \|gui-clipboard\| 4. Shell Commands \|gui-shell-win32\| 5. Special colors \|win32-colors\| 6. Windows dialogs & browsers \|gui-w32-dialogs\| 7. Command line arguments \|gui-w32-cmdargs\| 8. Various \|gui-w32-various\| Other relevant documentation: \|gui.txt\| For generic items of the GUI. \|os_win32.txt\| For Win32 specific items. ============================================================================== 1. Starting the GUI gui-w32-start The Win32 GUI version of Vim will always start the GUI, no matter how you start it or what it's called. The GUI will always run in the Windows subsystem. Mostly shells automatically return with a command prompt after starting gvim. If not, you should use the "start" command: > start gvim [options] file .. < E988 The console version with the \|-g\| option may also start the GUI by executing gvim.exe: > vim -g [options] file .. To make this work, gvim.exe must exist in the same directory as the vim.exe, and this feature must be enabled at compile time. One may also use `:gui` from the console version. However, this is an experimental feature and this feature must be enabled at compile time. It uses a session file to recreate the current state of the console Vim in the GUI Vim. Note: All fonts (bold, italic) must be of the same size!!! If you don't do this, text will disappear or mess up the display. Vim does not check the font sizes. It's the size in screen pixels that must be the same. Note that some fonts that have the same point size don't have the same pixel size! Additionally, the positioning of the fonts must be the same (ascent and descent). The Win32 GUI has an extra menu item: "Edit/Select Font". It brings up the standard Windows font selector. Setting the menu height doesn't work for the Win32 GUI. gui-win32-maximized If you want Vim to start with a maximized window, add this command to your vimrc or gvimrc file: > au GUIEnter * simalt ~x < Using Vim as a plugin gui-w32-windowid When gvim starts up normally, it creates its own top level window. If you pass Vim the command-line option \|--windowid\| with a decimal or hexadecimal value, Vim will create a window that is a child of the window with the given ID. This enables Vim to act as a plugin in another application. This really is a programmer's interface, and is of no use without a supporting application to spawn Vim correctly. ============================================================================== 2. Vim as default editor vim-default-editor To set Vim as the default editor for a file type: 1. Start a Windows Explorer 2. Choose View/Options -> File Types 3. Select the path to gvim for every file type that you want to use it for. (you can also use three spaces in the file type field, for files without an extension). In the "open" action, use: > gvim "%1" < The quotes are required for using file names with embedded spaces. You can also use this: > gvim "%L" < This should avoid short (8.3 character) file names in some situations. But I'm not sure if this works everywhere. When you open a file in Vim by double clicking it, Vim changes to that file's directory. If you want Vim to start full-screen, use this for the Open action: > gvim -c "simalt ~x" "%1" Another method, which also works when you put Vim in another directory (e.g., when you have got a new version): 1. select a file you want to use Vim with 2. <Shift-F10> 3. select "Open With..." menu entry 4. click "Other..." 5. browse to the (new) location of Vim and click "Open" 6. make "Always Use this program..." checked 7. <OK> send-to-menu sendto You can also install Vim in the "Send To" menu: 1. Start a Windows Explorer 2. Navigate to your sendto directory: Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\SendTo Windows Vista: C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo . 3. Right-click in the file pane and select New->Shortcut 4. Follow the shortcut wizard, using the full path to VIM/GVIM. When you 'send a file to Vim', Vim changes to that file's directory. Note, however, that any long directory names will appear in their short (MS-DOS) form on some Windows versions. This is a limitation of the Windows "Send To" mechanism. notepad You could replace notepad.exe with gvim.exe, but that has a few side effects. Some programs rely on notepad arguments, which are not recognized by Vim. For example "notepad -p" is used by some applications to print a file. It's better to leave notepad where it is and use another way to start Vim. win32-popup-menu A more drastic approach is to install an "Edit with Vim" entry in the popup menu for the right mouse button. With this you can edit any file with Vim. This can co-exist with the file associations mentioned above. The difference is that the file associations will make starting Vim the default action. With the "Edit with Vim" menu entry you can keep the existing file association for double clicking on the file, and edit the file with Vim when you want. For example, you can associate ".mak" with your make program. You can execute the makefile by double clicking it and use the "Edit with Vim" entry to edit the makefile. You can select any files and right-click to see a menu option called "Edit with gvim". Choosing this menu option will invoke gvim with the file you have selected. If you select multiple files, you will find two gvim-related menu options: "Edit with multiple gvims" -- one gvim for each file in the selection "Edit with single gvim" -- one gvim for all the files in the selection And if there already is a gvim running: "Edit with existing gvim" -- edit the file with the running gvim The "edit with existing Vim" entries can be disabled by adding an entry in the registry under HKLM\Software\Vim\Gvim, named DisableEditWithExisting, and with any value. install-registry* You can add the "Edit with Vim" menu entry in an easy way by using the "install.exe" program. It will add several registry entries for you. You can also do this by hand. This is complicated! Use the install.exe if you can. 1. Start the registry editor with "regedit". 2. Add these keys: key value name value ~ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99} {default} Vim Shell Extension HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99}\InProcServer32 {default} {path}\gvimext.dll ThreadingModel Apartment HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\gvim {default} {51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved {51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99} Vim Shell Extension HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Vim\Gvim path {path}\gvim.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\vim 8.2 DisplayName Vim 8.2: Edit with Vim popup menu entry UninstallString {path}\uninstall.exe Replace {path} with the path that leads to the executable. Don't type {default}, this is the value for the key itself. To remove "Edit with Vim" from the popup menu, just remove the registry entries mentioned above. The "uninstall.exe" program can do this for you. You can also use the entry in the Windows standard "Add/Remove Programs" list. If you notice that this entry overrules other file type associations, set those associations again by hand (using Windows Explorer, see above). This only seems to happen on some Windows NT versions (Windows bug?). Procedure: 1. Find the name of the file type. This can be done by starting the registry editor, and searching for the extension in \\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT 2. In a Windows Explorer, use View/Options/File Types. Search for the file type in the list and click "Edit". In the actions list, you can select on to be used as the default (normally the "open" action) and click on the "Set Default" button. Vim in the "Open With..." context menu win32-open-with-menu* If you use the Vim install program you have the choice to add Vim to the "Open With..." menu. This means you can use Vim to edit many files. Not every file (for unclear reasons...), thus the "Edit with Vim" menu entry is still useful. One reason to add this is to be able to edit HTML files directly from Internet Explorer. To enable this use the "Tools" menu, "Internet Options..." entry. In the dialog select the "Programs" tab and select Vim in the "HTML editor" choice. If it's not there then installing didn't work properly. Doing this manually can be done with this script: ---------------------------------------------------------- REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gvim.exe] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gvim.exe\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gvim.exe\shell\edit] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gvim.exe\shell\edit\command] @="c:\\vim\\vim82\\gvim.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList\gvim.exe] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\OpenWithList\gvim.exe] ---------------------------------------------------------- Change the "c:\\vim\\vim82" bit to where gvim.exe is actually located. To uninstall this run the Vim uninstall program or manually delete the registry entries with "regedit". ============================================================================== 3. Using the clipboard gui-clipboard* Windows has a clipboard, where you can copy text to, and paste text from. Vim supports this in several ways. For other systems see \|gui-selections\|. The "* register reflects the contents of the clipboard. \|quotestar\| When the "unnamed" string is included in the 'clipboard' option, the unnamed register is the same. Thus you can yank to and paste from the clipboard without prepending "* to commands. The 'a' flag in 'guioptions' is not included by default. This means that text is only put on the clipboard when an operation is performed on it. Just Visually selecting text doesn't put it on the clipboard. When the 'a' flag is included, the text is copied to the clipboard even when it is not operated upon. mswin.vim To use the standard MS-Windows way of CTRL-X, CTRL-C and CTRL-V, use the $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim script. You could add this line to your _vimrc file: > source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim Since CTRL-C is used to copy the text to the clipboard, it can't be used to cancel an operation. Use CTRL-Break for that. CTRL-Z is used for undo. This means you can't suspend Vim with this key, use \|:suspend\| instead (if it's supported at all). CTRL-V-alternative CTRL-Q Since CTRL-V is used to paste, you can't use it to start a blockwise Visual selection. You can use CTRL-Q instead. You can also use CTRL-Q in Insert mode and Command-line mode to get the old meaning of CTRL-V. But CTRL-Q doesn't work for terminals when it's used for control flow. NOTE: The clipboard support still has a number of bugs. See \|todo\|. ============================================================================== 4. Shell Commands gui-shell-win32 Vim uses another window for external commands, to make it possible to run any command. The external command gets its own environment for running, just like it was started from a DOS prompt. win32-vimrun Executing an external command is done indirectly by the "vimrun" command. The "vimrun.exe" must be in the path for this to work. Or it must be in the same directory as the Vim executable. If "vimrun" cannot be found, the command is executed directly, but then the DOS window closes immediately after the external command has finished. WARNING: If you close this window with the "X" button, and confirm the question if you really want to kill the application, Vim may be killed too! (This does not apply to commands run asynchronously with ":!start".) The window in which the commands are executed will be the default you have set up for "Console" in Control Panel. win32-!start Normally, Vim waits for a command to complete before continuing (this makes sense for most shell commands which produce output for Vim to use). If you want Vim to start a program and return immediately, you can use the following syntax: > :!start [/min] {command} The optional "/min" causes the window to be minimized. ============================================================================== 5. Special colors win32-colors On Win32, the normal DOS colors can be used. See \|dos-colors\|. Additionally the system configured colors can also be used. These are known by the names Sys_XXX, where XXX is the appropriate system color name, from the following list (see the Win32 documentation for full descriptions). Case is ignored. Sys_3DDKShadow Sys_3DFace Sys_BTNFace Sys_3DHilight Sys_3DHighlight Sys_BTNHilight Sys_BTNHighlight Sys_3DLight Sys_3DShadow Sys_BTNShadow Sys_ActiveBorder Sys_ActiveCaption Sys_AppWorkspace Sys_Background Sys_Desktop Sys_BTNText Sys_CaptionText Sys_GrayText Sys_Highlight Sys_HighlightText Sys_InactiveBorder Sys_InactiveCaption Sys_InactiveCaptionText Sys_InfoBK Sys_InfoText Sys_Menu Sys_MenuText Sys_ScrollBar Sys_Window Sys_WindowFrame Sys_WindowText Probably the most useful values are Sys_Window Normal window background Sys_WindowText Normal window text Sys_Highlight Highlighted background Sys_HighlightText Highlighted text These extra colors are also available: Gray, Grey, LightYellow, SeaGreen, Orange, Purple, SlateBlue, Violet, rgb.txt Additionally, colors defined by a "rgb.txt" file can be used. This file is well known from X11. A few lines from it: > 255 218 185 peach puff 205 133 63 peru 255 181 197 pink This shows the layout of the file: First the R, G and B value as a decimal number, followed by the name of the color. The four fields are separated by spaces. You can get an rgb.txt file from any X11 distribution. It is located in a directory like "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/". For Vim it must be located in the $VIMRUNTIME directory. Thus the file can be found with "$VIMRUNTIME/rgb.txt". ============================================================================== gui-w32-dialogs dialog 6. Windows dialogs & browsers The Win32 GUI can use familiar Windows components for some operations, as well as the traditional interface shared with the console version. 6.1 Dialogs The dialogs displayed by the "confirm" family (i.e. the 'confirm' option, \|:confirm\| command and \|confirm()\| function) are GUI-based rather than the console-based ones used by other versions. The 'c' flag in 'guioptions' changes this. 6.2 File Browsers When prepending ":browse" before file editing commands, a file requester is used to allow you to select an existing file. See \|:browse\|. 6.3 Tearoff Menus The Win32 GUI emulates Motif's tear-off menus. At the top of each menu you will see a small graphic "rip here" sign. Selecting it will cause a floating window to be created with the same menu entries on it. The floating menu can then be accessed just as if it was the original (including sub-menus), but without having to go to the menu bar each time. This is most useful if you find yourself using a command buried in a sub-menu over and over again. The tearoff menus can be positioned where you like, and always stay just above the Main Vim window. You can get rid of them by closing them as usual; they also of course close when you exit Vim. :tearoff :te :te[aroff] {name} Tear-off the menu {name}. The menu named must have at least one subentry, but need not appear on the menu-bar (see \|win32-hidden-menus\|). Example: > :tearoff File will make the "File" menu (if there is one) appear as a tearoff menu. > :amenu ]Toolbar.Make :make<CR> :tearoff ]Toolbar This creates a floating menu that doesn't exist on the main menu-bar. Note that a menu that starts with ']' will not be displayed. ============================================================================== 7. Command line arguments gui-w32-cmdargs Command line arguments behave the same way as with the console application, see \|win32-cmdargs\|. ============================================================================== 8. Various gui-w32-various gui-w32-printing The "File/Print" menu prints the text with syntax highlighting, see \|:hardcopy\|. If you just want to print the raw text and have a default printer installed this should also work: > :w >>prn Vim supports a number of standard MS Windows features. Some of these are detailed elsewhere: see \|'mouse'\|, \|win32-hidden-menus\|. drag-n-drop-win32 You can drag and drop one or more files into the Vim window, where they will be opened as normal. See \|drag-n-drop\|. :simalt :sim :sim[alt] {key} simulate pressing {key} while holding Alt pressed. {only for Win32 versions} Note: ":si" means ":s" with the "i" flag. Normally, Vim takes control of all Alt-<Key> combinations, to increase the number of possible mappings. This clashes with the standard use of Alt as the key for accessing menus. The quick way of getting standard behavior is to set the 'winaltkeys' option to "yes". This however prevents you from mapping Alt keys at all. Another way is to set 'winaltkeys' to "menu". Menu shortcut keys are then handled by windows, other ALT keys can be mapped. This doesn't allow a dependency on the current state though. To get round this, the :simalt command allows Vim (when 'winaltkeys' is not "yes") to fake a Windows-style Alt keypress. You can use this to map Alt key combinations (or anything else for that matter) to produce standard Windows actions. Here are some examples: > :map <M-f> :simalt f<CR> This makes Alt-F pop down the 'File' menu (with the stock Menu.vim) by simulating the keystrokes Alt, F. > :map <M-Space> :simalt ~<CR> This maps Alt-Space to pop down the system menu for the Vim window. Note that ~ is used by simalt to represent the <Space> character. > :map <C-n> :simalt ~n<CR> Maps Control-N to produce the keys Alt-Space followed by N. This minimizes the Vim window via the system menu. Note that the key changes depending on the language you are using. intellimouse-wheel-problems When using the Intellimouse mouse wheel causes Vim to stop accepting input, go to: ControlPanel - Mouse - Wheel - UniversalScrolling - Exceptions And add gvim to the list of applications. This problem only appears to happen with the Intellimouse driver 2.2 and when "Universal Scrolling" is turned on.

📄 gui_x11.txt gui_x11.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Jun 05 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Vim's Graphical User Interface gui-x11 GUI-X11 Athena Motif 1. Starting the X11 GUI \|gui-x11-start\| 2. GUI Resources \|gui-resources\| 3. Shell Commands \|gui-pty\| 4. Various \|gui-x11-various\| 5. GTK version \|gui-gtk\| 6. GNOME version \|gui-gnome\| 7. KDE version \|gui-kde\| 8. Compiling \|gui-x11-compiling\| 9. X11 selection mechanism \|x11-selection\| Other relevant documentation: \|gui.txt\| For generic items of the GUI. ============================================================================== 1. Starting the X11 GUI gui-x11-start E665 Then you can run the GUI version of Vim in either of these ways: gvim [options] [files...] vim -g [options] [files...] So if you call the executable "gvim", or make "gvim" a link to the executable, then the GUI version will automatically be used. Additional characters may be added after "gvim", for example "gvim-5". You may also start up the GUI from within the terminal version by using one of these commands: :gui [++opt] [+cmd] [-f\|-b] [files...] :gu :gui :gvim [++opt] [+cmd] [-f\|-b] [files...] :gv :gvim The "-f" option runs Vim in the foreground. The "-b" option runs Vim in the background (this is the default). Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. gui-fork When the GUI is started, it does a fork() and exits the current process. When gvim was started from a shell this makes the shell accept further commands. If you don't want this (e.g. when using gvim for a mail program that waits for gvim to exit), start gvim with "gvim -f", "vim -gf" or use ":gui -f". Don't use "vim -fg", because "-fg" specifies the foreground color. When using "vim -f" and then ":gui", Vim will run in the foreground. The "-f" argument will be remembered. To force running Vim in the background use ":gui -b". "gvim --nofork" does the same as "gvim -f". When there are running jobs Vim will not fork, because the processes would no longer be child processes. E851 E852 When starting the GUI fails Vim will try to continue running in the terminal. If you want the GUI to run in the foreground always, include the 'f' flag in 'guioptions'. \|-f\|. ============================================================================== 2. GUI Resources gui-resources .Xdefaults If using the Motif or Athena version of the GUI (not for the KDE, GTK+ or Win32 version), a number of X resources are available. You should use Vim's class "Vim" when setting these. They are as follows: Resource name Meaning ~ reverseVideo Boolean: should reverse video be used? background Color of background. foreground Color of normal text. scrollBackground Color of trough portion of scrollbars. scrollForeground Color of slider and arrow portions of scrollbars. menuBackground Color of menu backgrounds. menuForeground Color of menu foregrounds. tooltipForeground Color of tooltip and balloon foreground. tooltipBackground Color of tooltip and balloon background. font Name of font used for normal text. boldFont Name of font used for bold text. italicFont Name of font used for italic text. boldItalicFont Name of font used for bold, italic text. menuFont Name of font used for the menus, used when compiled without the \|+xfontset\| feature menuFontSet Name of fontset used for the menus, used when compiled with the \|+xfontset\| feature tooltipFont Name of the font used for the tooltip and balloons. When compiled with the \|+xfontset\| feature this is a fontset name. geometry Initial geometry to use for gvim's window (default is same size as terminal that started it). scrollbarWidth Thickness of scrollbars. borderWidth Thickness of border around text area. menuHeight Height of the menu bar (only for Athena). A special font for italic, bold, and italic-bold text will only be used if the user has specified one via a resource. No attempt is made to guess what fonts should be used for these based on the normal text font. Note that the colors can also be set with the ":highlight" command, using the "Normal", "Menu", "Tooltip", and "Scrollbar" groups. Example: > :highlight Menu guibg=lightblue :highlight Tooltip guibg=yellow :highlight Scrollbar guibg=lightblue guifg=blue :highlight Normal guibg=grey90 < font-sizes Note: All fonts (except for the menu and tooltip) must be of the same size!!! If you don't do this, text will disappear or mess up the display. Vim does not check the font sizes. It's the size in screen pixels that must be the same. Note that some fonts that have the same point size don't have the same pixel size! Additionally, the positioning of the fonts must be the same (ascent and descent). You can check this with "xlsfonts -l {fontname}". If any of these things are also set with Vim commands, e.g. with ":set guifont=Screen15", then this will override the X resources (currently 'guifont' is the only option that is supported). Here is an example of what you might put in your ~/.Xdefaults file: > VimuseSchemes: all VimsgiMode: true VimuseEnhancedFSB: true Vim.foreground: Black Vim.background: Wheat VimfontList: 7x13 The first three of these are standard resources on Silicon Graphics machines which make Motif applications look even better, highly recommended! The "VimfontList" is to set the menu font for Motif. Example: > VimmenuBarfontList: --courier-medium-r---10-------* With Athena: > VimmenuBarSmeBSBfont: --courier-medium-r---10-------* VimmenuBarMenuButtonfont: --courier-medium-r---10-------* NOTE: A more portable, and indeed more correct, way to specify the menu font in either Motif or Athena is through the resource: > Vim.menuFont: --courier-medium-r---10------- Or, when compiled with the \|+xfontset\| feature: > Vim.menuFontSet: --courier-medium-r---10------- Don't use "Vimgeometry" in the defaults. This will break the menus. Use "Vim.geometry" instead. If you get an error message "Cannot allocate colormap entry for "gray60", try adding this to your Vim resources (change the colors to your liking): > VimscrollBackground: Black VimscrollForeground: Blue The resources can also be set with arguments to Vim: argument meaning ~ -gui* -display {display} Run vim on {display} -display -iconic Start vim iconified -iconic -background {color} Use {color} for the background -background -bg {color} idem -bg -foreground {color} Use {color} for normal text -foreground -fg {color} idem -fg -ul {color} idem -ul -font {font} Use {font} for normal text -font -fn {font} idem -fn -boldfont {font} Use {font} for bold text -boldfont -italicfont {font} Use {font} for italic text -italicfont -menufont {font} Use {font} for menu items -menufont -menufontset {fontset} Use {fontset} for menu items -menufontset -mf {font} idem -mf -geometry {geom} Use {geom} for initial geometry -geometry -geom {geom} idem, see \|-geometry-example\| -geom -borderwidth {width} Use a border width of {width} -borderwidth -bw {width} idem -bw -scrollbarwidth -scrollbarwidth {width} Use a scrollbar width of {width} -sw {width} idem -sw -menuheight {height} Use a menu bar height of {height} -menuheight -mh {height} idem -mh NOTE: On Motif the value is ignored, the menu height is computed to fit the menus. -reverse Use reverse video -reverse -rv idem -rv +reverse Don't use reverse video -+reverse +rv idem -+rv -xrm {resource} Set the specified resource -xrm Note about reverse video: Vim checks that the result is actually a light text on a dark background. The reason is that some X11 versions swap the colors, and some don't. These two examples will both give yellow text on a blue background: gvim -fg Yellow -bg Blue -reverse gvim -bg Yellow -fg Blue -reverse -geometry-example An example for the geometry argument: > gvim -geometry 80x63+8+100 This creates a window with 80 columns and 63 lines at position 8 pixels from the left and 100 pixels from the top of the screen. ============================================================================== 3. Shell Commands gui-pty WARNING: Executing an external command from the GUI will not always work. "normal" commands like "ls", "grep" and "make" mostly work fine. Commands that require an intelligent terminal like "less" and "ispell" won't work. Some may even hang and need to be killed from another terminal. So be careful! There are two ways to do the I/O with a shell command: Pipes and a pseudo-tty. The default is to use a pseudo-tty. This should work best on most systems. Unfortunately, the implementation of the pseudo-tty is different on every Unix system. And some systems require root permission. To avoid running into problems with a pseudo-tty when you least expect it, test it when not editing a file. Be prepared to "kill" the started command or Vim. Commands like ":r !cat" may hang! If using a pseudo-tty does not work for you, reset the 'guipty' option: > :set noguipty Using a pipe should work on any Unix system, but there are disadvantages: - Some shell commands will notice that a pipe is being used and behave differently. E.g., ":!ls" will list the files in one column. - The ":sh" command won't show a prompt, although it will sort of work. - When using ":make" it's not possible to interrupt with a CTRL-C. Typeahead while the external command is running is often lost. This happens both with a pipe and a pseudo-tty. This is a known problem, but it seems it can't be fixed (or at least, it's very difficult). gui-pty-erase When your erase character is wrong for an external command, you should fix this in your "~/.cshrc" file, or whatever file your shell uses for initializations. For example, when you want to use backspace to delete characters, but hitting backspaces produces "^H" instead, try adding this to your "~/.cshrc": > stty erase ^H The ^H is a real CTRL-H, type it as CTRL-V CTRL-H. ============================================================================== 4. Various gui-x11-various gui-x11-printing The "File/Print" menu simply sends the current buffer to "lpr". No options or whatever. If you want something else, you can define your own print command. For example: > :10amenu File.Print :w !lpr -Php3 :10vmenu File.Print :w !lpr -Php3 < X11-icon Vim uses a black&white icon by default when compiled with Motif or Athena. A colored Vim icon is included as $VIMRUNTIME/vim32x32.xpm. For GTK+, this is the builtin icon used. Unfortunately, how you should install it depends on your window manager. When you use this, remove the 'i' flag from 'guioptions', to remove the black&white icon: > :set guioptions-=i If you use one of the fvwm* family of window managers simply add this line to your .fvwm2rc configuration file: > Style "vim" Icon vim32x32.xpm Make sure the icon file's location is consistent with the window manager's ImagePath statement. Either modify the ImagePath from within your .fvwm2rc or drop the icon into one the pre-defined directories: > ImagePath /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps:/usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps Note: older versions of fvwm use "IconPath" instead of "ImagePath". For CDE "dtwm" (a derivative of Motif) add this line in the .Xdefaults: > DtwmVimiconImage: /usr/local/share/vim/vim32x32.xpm For "mwm" (Motif window manager) the line would be: > MwmVimiconImage: /usr/local/share/vim/vim32x32.xpm Mouse Pointers Available in X11 ~ X11_mouse_shapes By using the \|'mouseshape'\| option, the mouse pointer can be automatically changed whenever Vim enters one of its various modes (e.g., Insert or Command). Currently, the available pointers are: arrow an arrow pointing northwest beam a I-like vertical bar size an arrow pointing up and down busy a wristwatch blank an invisible pointer crosshair a thin "+" sign hand1 a dark hand pointing northeast hand2 a light hand pointing northwest pencil a pencil pointing southeast question question_arrow right_arrow an arrow pointing northeast up_arrow an arrow pointing upwards Additionally, any of the mouse pointers that are built into X11 may be used by specifying an integer from the X11/cursorfont.h include file. If a name is used that exists on other systems, but not in X11, the default "arrow" pointer is used. ============================================================================== 5. GTK version gui-gtk GTK+ GTK GTK3 The GTK version of the GUI works a little bit different. GTK does _not_ use the traditional X resource settings. Thus items in your ~/.Xdefaults or app-defaults files are not used. Many of the traditional X command line arguments are not supported. (e.g., stuff like -bg, -fg, etc). The ones that are supported are: command line argument resource name meaning ~ -fn or -font .font font name for the text -geom or -geometry .geometry size of the gvim window -rv or -reverse reverseVideo white text on black background -display display to be used -fg -foreground {color} foreground color -bg -background {color} background color To set the font, see \|'guifont'\|. For GTK, there's also a menu option that does this. Additionally, there are these command line arguments, which are handled by GTK internally. Look in the GTK documentation for how they are used: --sync --gdk-debug --gdk-no-debug --no-xshm (not in GTK+ 2) --xim-preedit (not in GTK+ 2) --xim-status (not in GTK+ 2) --gtk-debug --gtk-no-debug --g-fatal-warnings --gtk-module --display (GTK+ counterpart of -display; works the same way.) --screen (The screen number; for GTK+ 2.2 multihead support.) These arguments are ignored when the \|+netbeans_intg\| feature is used: -xrm -mf As for colors, Vim's color settings (for syntax highlighting) is still done the traditional Vim way. See \|:highlight\| for more help. If you want to set the colors of remaining gui components (e.g., the menubar, scrollbar, whatever), those are GTK specific settings and you need to set those up in some sort of gtkrc file. You'll have to refer to the GTK documentation, however little there is, on how to do this. See http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html for more information. gtk3-slow* If you are using GTK3 and Vim appears to be slow, try setting the environment variable $GDK_RENDERING to "image". Tooltip Colors ~ gtk-tooltip-colors Example, which sets the tooltip colors to black on light-yellow: > style "tooltips" { bg[NORMAL] = "#ffffcc" fg[NORMAL] = "#000000" } widget "gtk-tooltips" style "tooltips" Write this in the file ~/.gtkrc and it will be used by GTK+. For GTK+ 2 you might have to use the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 instead, depending on your distribution. For GTK+ 3, an effect similar to the above can be obtained by adding the following snippet of CSS code to $XDG_HOME_DIR/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (see the next section): For GTK+ 3 < 3.20: > .tooltip { background-color: #ffffcc; color: #000000; } < For GTK+ 3 >= 3.20: > tooltip { background-color: #ffffcc; text-shadow: none; } tooltip label { color: #2e3436; } < A Quick Look at GTK+ CSS ~ gtk-css* The contents of this subsection apply to GTK+ 3.20 or later which provides stable support for GTK+ CSS: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/theming.html GTK+ uses CSS for styling and layout of widgets. In this subsection, we'll have a quick look at GTK+ CSS through simple, illustrative examples. You can usually edit the config with: > vim $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css Example 1. Empty Space Adjustment ~ By default, the toolbar and the tabline of the GTK+ 3 GUI are somewhat larger than those of the GTK+ 2 GUI. Some people may want to make them look similar to the GTK+ 2 GUI in size. To do that, we'll try reducing empty space around icons and labels that looks apparently superfluous. Add the following lines to $XDG_HOME_DIR/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (usually, $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css): > toolbar button { margin-top: -2px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: -2px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px } notebook tab { margin-top: -1px; margin-right: 3px; margin-bottom: -1px; margin-left: 3px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px } < Since it's a CSS, they can be rewritten using shorthand: > toolbar button { margin: -2px 0px; padding: 0px; } notebook tab { margin: -1px 3px; padding: 0px } < Note: You might want to use 'toolbariconsize' to adjust the icon size, too. Note: Depending on the icon theme and/or the font in use, some extra tweaks may be needed for a satisfactory result. Note: In addition to margin and padding, you can use border. For details, refer to the box model of CSS, e.g., https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp Example 2. More Than Just Colors ~ GTK+ CSS supports gradients as well: > tooltip { background-image: -gtk-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 1, color-stop(0, #344752), color-stop(0.5, #546772), color-stop(1, #243742)); } tooltip label { color: #f3f3f3; } < Gradients can be used to make a GUI element visually distinguishable from others without relying on high contrast. Accordingly, effective use of them is a useful technique to give a theme a sense of unity in color and luminance. Note: Theming can be difficult since it must make every application look equally good; making a single application more charming often gets others unexpectedly less attractive or even deteriorates their usability. Keep this in mind always when you try improving a theme. Example 3. border color ~ To eliminate borders when maximized: > @define-color bg_color #1B2B34; #vim-main-window { background-color: @bg_color; } Using Vim as a GTK+ plugin ~ gui-gtk-socketid When the GTK+ version of Vim starts up normally, it creates its own top level window (technically, a 'GtkWindow'). GTK+ provides an embedding facility with its GtkSocket and GtkPlug widgets. If one GTK+ application creates a GtkSocket widget in one of its windows, an entirely different GTK+ application may embed itself into the first application by creating a top-level GtkPlug widget using the socket's ID. If you pass Vim the command-line option '--socketid' with a decimal or hexadecimal value, Vim will create a GtkPlug widget using that value instead of the normal GtkWindow. This enables Vim to act as a GTK+ plugin. This really is a programmer's interface, and is of no use without a supporting application to spawn the Vim correctly. For more details on GTK+ sockets, see http://www.gtk.org/api/ Note that this feature requires the latest GTK version. GTK 1.2.10 still has a small problem. The socket feature has not yet been tested with GTK+ 2 -- feel free to volunteer. ============================================================================== 6. GNOME version gui-gnome Gnome GNOME The GNOME GUI works just like the GTK+ version. See \|GTK+\| above for how it works. It looks a bit different though, and implements one important feature that's not available in the plain GTK+ GUI: Interaction with the session manager. \|gui-gnome-session\| These are the different looks: - Uses GNOME dialogs (GNOME 1 only). The GNOME 2 GUI uses the same nice dialogs as the GTK+ 2 version. - Uses the GNOME dock, so that the toolbar and menubar can be moved to different locations other than the top (e.g., the toolbar can be placed on the left, right, top, or bottom). The placement of the menubar and toolbar is only saved in the GNOME 2 version. - That means the menubar and toolbar handles are back! Yeah! And the resizing grid still works too. GNOME is compiled with if it was found by configure and the --enable-gnome-check argument was used. Note: Avoid use of --enable-gnome-check with GTK+ 3 GUI build. The functionality mentioned above is consolidated in GTK+ 3. GNOME session support ~ gui-gnome-session gnome-session On logout, Vim shows the well-known exit confirmation dialog if any buffers are modified. Clicking [Cancel] will stop the logout process. Otherwise the current session is stored to disk by using the \|:mksession\| command, and restored the next time you log in. The GNOME session support should also work with the KDE session manager. If you are experiencing any problems please report them as bugs. Note: The automatic session save works entirely transparent, in order to avoid conflicts with your own session files, scripts and autocommands. That means in detail: - The session file is stored to a separate directory (usually $HOME/.gnome2). - 'sessionoptions' is ignored, and a hardcoded set of appropriate flags is used instead: > blank,curdir,folds,globals,help,options,tabpages,winsize - The internal variable \|v:this_session\| is not changed when storing the session. Also, it is restored to its old value when logging in again. The position and size of the GUI window is not saved by Vim since doing so is the window manager's job. But if compiled with GTK+ 2 support, Vim helps the WM to identify the window by restoring the window role (using the \|--role\| command line argument). ============================================================================== 7. KDE version gui-kde kde KDE KVim gui-x11-kde There is no KDE version of Vim. There has been some work on a port using the Qt toolkit, but it never worked properly and it has been abandoned. Work continues on Yzis: https://github.com/chrizel/Yzis. ============================================================================== 8. Compiling gui-x11-compiling If using X11, Vim's configure will by default first try to find the necessary GTK+ files on your system. When both GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 are available, GTK+ 2 will be chosen unless --enable-gui=gtk3 is passed explicitly to configure. If the GTK+ files cannot be found, then the Motif files will be searched for. Finally, if this fails, the Athena files will be searched for. If all three fail, the GUI will be disabled. For GTK+, Vim's configuration process uses pkg-config(1) to check if the GTK+ required for a specified build is properly installed and usable. Accordingly, it is a good idea to make sure before running configure that your system has a working pkg-config together with the .pc file of the required GTK+. For that, say, run the following on the command line to see if your pkg-config works with your GTK+ 2: > $ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 Replace gtk+-2.0 with gtk+-3.0 for GTK+ 3. If you get the correct version number of your GTK+, you can proceed; if not, you probably need to do some system administration chores to set up pkg-config and GTK+ correctly. The GTK+ 2 GUI is built by default. Therefore, you usually don't need to pass any options such as --enable-gui=gtk2 to configure and build that. Optionally, the GTK+ 2 GUI can consolidate the GNOME 2 support. This support is enabled by passing --enable-gnome-check to configure. If you want to build the GTK+ 3 GUI, you have to pass --enable-gui=gtk3 explicitly to configure, and avoid passing --enable-gnome-check to that, as the functionality of the GNOME 2 support has already been consolidated in GTK+ 3. Otherwise, if you are using Motif or Athena, when you have the Motif or Athena files in a directory where configure doesn't look, edit the Makefile to enter the names of the directories. Search for "GUI_INC_LOC" for an example to set the Motif directories, "CONF_OPT_X" for Athena. gui-x11-gtk Currently, Vim supports both GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3. The GTK+ 2 GUI requires GTK+ 2.2 or later. Although the GTK+ 3 GUI is written in such a way that the source code can be compiled against all versions of the 3.x series, we recommend GTK+ 3.10 or later because of its substantial implementation changes in redraw done at that version. gui-x11-motif For Motif, you need at least Motif version 1.2 and/or X11R5. Motif 2.0 and X11R6 are OK. Motif 1.1 and X11R4 might work, no guarantee (there may be a few problems, but you might make it compile and run with a bit of work, please send me the patches if you do). The newest releases of LessTif have been reported to work fine too. gui-x11-athena The Athena version uses the Xaw widget set by default. If you have the 3D version, you might want to link with Xaw3d instead. This will make the menus look a bit better. Edit the Makefile and look for "XAW_LIB". The scrollbars will remain the same, because Vim has its own, which are already 3D (in fact, they look more like Motif). gui-x11-neXtaw The neXtaw version is mostly like Athena, but uses different widgets. gui-x11-misc In general, do not try to mix files from different GTK+, Motif, Athena and X11 versions. This will cause problems. For example, using header files for X11R5 with a library for X11R6 probably doesn't work (although the linking won't give an error message, Vim will crash later). ============================================================================== 9. X11 selection mechanism x11-selection If using X11, in either the GUI or an xterm with an X11-aware Vim, then Vim provides varied access to the X11 selection and clipboard. These are accessed by using the two selection registers "* and "+. X11 provides two basic types of global store, selections and cut-buffers, which differ in one important aspect: selections are "owned" by an application, and disappear when that application (e.g., Vim) exits, thus losing the data, whereas cut-buffers, are stored within the X-server itself and remain until written over or the X-server exits (e.g., upon logging out). The contents of selections are held by the originating application (e.g., upon a copy), and only passed on to another application when that other application asks for them (e.g., upon a paste). The contents of cut-buffers are immediately written to, and are then accessible directly from the X-server, without contacting the originating application. quoteplus quote+ There are three documented X selections: PRIMARY (which is expected to represent the current visual selection - as in Vim's Visual mode), SECONDARY (which is ill-defined) and CLIPBOARD (which is expected to be used for cut, copy and paste operations). Of these three, Vim uses PRIMARY when reading and writing the "* register (hence when the X11 selections are available, Vim sets a default value for \|'clipboard'\| of "autoselect"), and CLIPBOARD when reading and writing the "+ register. Vim does not access the SECONDARY selection. Examples: (assuming the default option values) - Select a URL in Visual mode in Vim. Go to your browser and click the middle mouse button in the URL text field. The selected text will be inserted (hopefully!). Note: in Firefox you can set the middlemouse.contentLoadURL preference to true in about:config, then the selected URL will be used when pressing middle mouse button in most places in the window. - Select some text in your browser by dragging with the mouse. Go to Vim and press the middle mouse button: The selected text is inserted. - Select some text in Vim and do "+y. Go to your browser, select some text in a textfield by dragging with the mouse. Now use the right mouse button and select "Paste" from the popup menu. The selected text is overwritten by the text from Vim. Note that the text in the "+ register remains available when making a Visual selection, which makes other text available in the "* register. That allows overwriting selected text. x11-cut-buffer There are, by default, 8 cut-buffers: CUT_BUFFER0 to CUT_BUFFER7. Vim only uses CUT_BUFFER0, which is the one that xterm uses by default. Whenever Vim is about to become unavailable (either via exiting or becoming suspended), and thus unable to respond to another application's selection request, it writes the contents of any owned selection to CUT_BUFFER0. If the "+ CLIPBOARD selection is owned by Vim, then this is written in preference, otherwise if the "* PRIMARY selection is owned by Vim, then that is written. Similarly, when Vim tries to paste from "* or "+ (either explicitly, or, in the case of the "* register, when the middle mouse button is clicked), if the requested X selection is empty or unavailable, Vim reverts to reading the current value of the CUT_BUFFER0. Note that when text is copied to CUT_BUFFER0 in this way, the type of selection (character, line or block) is always lost, even if it is a Vim which later pastes it. Xterm, by default, always writes visible selections to both PRIMARY and CUT_BUFFER0. When it pastes, it uses PRIMARY if this is available, or else falls back upon CUT_BUFFER0. For this reason, when cutting and pasting between Vim and an xterm, you should use the "* register. Xterm doesn't use CLIPBOARD, thus the "+ doesn't work with xterm. Most newer applications will provide their current selection via PRIMARY (") and use CLIPBOARD ("+) for cut/copy/paste operations. You thus have access to both by choosing to use either of the " or "+ registers. vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	29.21 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 hangulin.txt hangulin.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Nov 21 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Chi-Deok Hwang and Sung-Hyun Nam hangul Vim had built-in support for hangul, the Korean language, for users without XIM (X Input Method). Since it didn't work well and was not maintained it was removed in Vim 8.1.2327. If you want this hangul input method you can go back to Vim 8.1.2326 or earlier. If you think this code is still useful and want to maintain it, make a patch to add it back. However, making it work with UTF-8 encoding would be best. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	598 B	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 hebrew.txt hebrew.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 May 05 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Ron Aaron (and Avner Lottem) Hebrew Language support (options & mapping) for Vim hebrew The supporting 'rightleft' functionality was originally created by Avner Lottem. <alottem at gmail dot com> Ron Aaron <ron at ronware dot org> is currently helping support these features. {only available when the \|+rightleft\| feature was enabled at compile time} Introduction ------------ Hebrew-specific options are 'hkmap', 'hkmapp' 'keymap'=hebrew and 'aleph'. Hebrew-useful options are 'delcombine', 'allowrevins', 'revins', 'rightleft' and 'rightleftcmd'. The 'rightleft' mode reverses the display order, so characters are displayed from right to left instead of the usual left to right. This is useful primarily when editing Hebrew or other Middle-Eastern languages. See \|rileft.txt\| for further details. Details -------------- + Options: + 'rightleft' ('rl') sets window orientation to right-to-left. This means that the logical text 'ABC' will be displayed as 'CBA', and will start drawing at the right edge of the window, not the left edge. + 'hkmap' ('hk') sets keyboard mapping to Hebrew, in insert/replace modes. + 'aleph' ('al'), numeric, holds the decimal code of Aleph, for keyboard mapping. + 'hkmapp' ('hkp') sets keyboard mapping to 'phonetic hebrew' NOTE: these three ('hkmap', 'hkmapp' and 'aleph') are obsolete. You should use ":set keymap=hebrewp" instead. + 'delcombine' ('deco'), boolean, if editing UTF-8 encoded Hebrew, allows one to remove the niqud or te`amim by pressing 'x' on a character (with associated niqud). + 'rightleftcmd' ('rlc') makes the command-prompt for searches show up on the right side. It only takes effect if the window is 'rightleft'. + Encoding: + Under Unix, ISO 8859-8 encoding (Hebrew letters codes: 224-250). + Under MS DOS, PC encoding (Hebrew letters codes: 128-154). These are defaults, that can be overridden using the 'aleph' option. + You should prefer using UTF8, as it supports the combining-characters ('deco' does nothing if UTF8 encoding is not active). + Vim arguments: + 'vim -H file' starts editing a Hebrew file, i.e. 'rightleft' and 'hkmap' are set. + Keyboard: + The 'allowrevins' option enables the CTRL-_ command in Insert mode and in Command-line mode. + CTRL-_ in insert/replace modes toggles 'revins' and 'hkmap' as follows: When in rightleft window, 'revins' and 'nohkmap' are toggled, since English will likely be inserted in this case. When in norightleft window, 'revins' 'hkmap' are toggled, since Hebrew will likely be inserted in this case. CTRL-_ moves the cursor to the end of the typed text. + CTRL-_ in command mode only toggles keyboard mapping (see Bugs below). This setting is independent of 'hkmap' option, which only applies to insert/replace mode. Note: On some keyboards, CTRL-_ is mapped to CTRL-?. + Keyboard mapping while 'hkmap' is set (standard Israeli keyboard): q w e r t y u i o p / ' ק ר א ט ו ן ם פ a s d f g h j k l ; ' ש ד ג כ ע י ח ל ך ף , z x c v b n m , . / ז ס ב ה נ מ צ ת ץ . This is also the keymap when 'keymap=hebrew' is set. The advantage of 'keymap' is that it works properly when using UTF8, e.g. it inserts the correct characters; 'hkmap' does not. The 'keymap' keyboard can also insert niqud and te`amim. To see what those mappings are, look at the keymap file 'hebrew.vim' etc. Typing backwards If the 'revins' (reverse insert) option is set, inserting happens backwards. This can be used to type Hebrew. When inserting characters the cursor is not moved and the text moves rightwards. A <BS> deletes the character under the cursor. CTRL-W and CTRL-U also work in the opposite direction. <BS>, CTRL-W and CTRL-U do not stop at the start of insert or end of line, no matter how the 'backspace' option is set. There is no reverse replace mode (yet). If the 'showmode' option is set, "-- REVERSE INSERT --" will be shown in the status line when reverse Insert mode is active. When the 'allowrevins' option is set, reverse Insert mode can be also entered via CTRL-_, which has some extra functionality: First, keyboard mapping is changed according to the window orientation -- if in a left-to-right window, 'revins' is used to enter Hebrew text, so the keyboard changes to Hebrew ('hkmap' is set); if in a right-to-left window, 'revins' is used to enter English text, so the keyboard changes to English ('hkmap' is reset). Second, when exiting 'revins' via CTRL-_, the cursor moves to the end of the typed text (if possible). Pasting when in a rightleft window ---------------------------------- When cutting text with the mouse and pasting it in a rightleft window the text will be reversed, because the characters come from the cut buffer from the left to the right, while inserted in the file from the right to the left. In order to avoid it, toggle 'revins' (by typing CTRL-? or CTRL-_) before pasting. Hebrew characters and the 'isprint' variable -------------------------------------------- Sometimes Hebrew character codes are in the non-printable range defined by the 'isprint' variable. For example in the Linux console, the Hebrew font encoding starts from 128, while the default 'isprint' variable is @,161-255. The result is that all Hebrew characters are displayed as ~x. To solve this problem, set isprint=@,128-255. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	5.53 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

📄 helphelp.txt helphelp.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Dec 29 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Help on help files helphelp 1. Help commands \|online-help\| 2. Translated help files \|help-translated\| 3. Writing help files \|help-writing\| ============================================================================== 1. Help commands online-help help <Help> :h :help <F1> i_<F1> i_<Help> <Help> or :h[elp] Open a window and display the help file in read-only mode. If there is a help window open already, use that one. Otherwise, if the current window uses the full width of the screen or is at least 80 characters wide, the help window will appear just above the current window. Otherwise the new window is put at the very top. The 'helplang' option is used to select a language, if the main help file is available in several languages. {subject} E149 E661 :h[elp] {subject} Like ":help", additionally jump to the tag {subject}. For example: > :help options < {subject} can include wildcards such as "", "?" and "[a-z]": :help z? jump to help for any "z" command :help z. jump to the help for "z." But when a tag exists it is taken literally: :help :? jump to help for ":?" If there is no full match for the pattern, or there are several matches, the "best" match will be used. A sophisticated algorithm is used to decide which match is better than another one. These items are considered in the computation: - A match with same case is much better than a match with different case. - A match that starts after a non-alphanumeric character is better than a match in the middle of a word. - A match at or near the beginning of the tag is better than a match further on. - The more alphanumeric characters match, the better. - The shorter the length of the match, the better. The 'helplang' option is used to select a language, if the {subject} is available in several languages. To find a tag in a specific language, append "@ab", where "ab" is the two-letter language code. See \|help-translated\|. Note that the longer the {subject} you give, the less matches will be found. You can get an idea how this all works by using commandline completion (type CTRL-D after ":help subject" \|c_CTRL-D\|). If there are several matches, you can have them listed by hitting CTRL-D. Example: > :help cont<Ctrl-D> < Instead of typing ":help CTRL-V" to search for help for CTRL-V you can type: > :help ^V < This also works together with other characters, for example to find help for CTRL-V in Insert mode: > :help i^V < It is also possible to first do ":help" and then use ":tag {pattern}" in the help window. The ":tnext" command can then be used to jump to other matches, "tselect" to list matches and choose one. > :help index :tselect /.mode < When there is no argument you will see matches for "help", to avoid listing all possible matches (that would be very slow). The number of matches displayed is limited to 300. The `:help` command can be followed by '\|' and another command, but you don't need to escape the '\|' inside a help command. So these both work: > :help \| :help k\| only < Note that a space before the '\|' is seen as part of the ":help" argument. You can also use <NL> or <CR> to separate the help command from a following command. You need to type CTRL-V first to insert the <NL> or <CR>. Example: > :help so<C-V><CR>only :h[elp]! [subject] Like ":help", but in non-English help files prefer to find a tag in a file with the same language as the current file. See \|help-translated\|. :helpc :helpclose :helpc[lose] Close one help window, if there is one. Vim will try to restore the window layout (including cursor position) to the same layout it was before opening the help window initially. This might cause triggering several autocommands. :helpg :helpgrep :helpg[rep] {pattern}[@xx] Search all help text files and make a list of lines in which {pattern} matches. Jumps to the first match. The optional [@xx] specifies that only matches in the "xx" language are to be found. You can navigate through the matches with the \|quickfix\| commands, e.g., \|:cnext\| to jump to the next one. Or use \|:cwindow\| to get the list of matches in the quickfix window. {pattern} is used as a Vim regexp \|pattern\|. 'ignorecase' is not used, add "\c" to ignore case. Example for case sensitive search: > :helpgrep Uganda < Example for case ignoring search: > :helpgrep uganda\c < Example for searching in French help: > :helpgrep backspace@fr < The pattern does not support line breaks, it must match within one line. You can use \|:grep\| instead, but then you need to get the list of help files in a complicated way. Cannot be followed by another command, everything is used as part of the pattern. But you can use \|:execute\| when needed. Compressed help files will not be searched (Fedora compresses the help files). :lh :lhelpgrep :lh[elpgrep] {pattern}[@xx] Same as ":helpgrep", except the location list is used instead of the quickfix list. If the help window is already opened, then the location list for that window is used. Otherwise, a new help window is opened and the location list for that window is set. The location list for the current window is not changed then. :exu :exusage :exu[sage] Show help on Ex commands. Added to simulate the Nvi command. :viu :viusage :viu[sage] Show help on Normal mode commands. Added to simulate the Nvi command. When no argument is given to \|:help\| the file given with the 'helpfile' option will be opened. Otherwise the specified tag is searched for in all "doc/tags" files in the directories specified in the 'runtimepath' option. If you would like to open the help in the current window, see this tip: \|help-curwin\|. The initial height of the help window can be set with the 'helpheight' option (default 20). When the help buffer is created, several local options are set to make sure the help text is displayed as it was intended: 'iskeyword' nearly all ASCII chars except ' ', '', '"' and '\|' 'foldmethod' "manual" 'tabstop' 8 'arabic' off 'binary' off 'buflisted' off 'cursorbind' off 'diff' off 'foldenable' off 'list' off 'modifiable' off 'number' off 'relativenumber' off 'rightleft' off 'scrollbind' off 'spell' off Jump to specific subjects by using tags. This can be done in two ways: - Use the "CTRL-]" command while standing on the name of a command or option. This only works when the tag is a keyword. "<C-Leftmouse>" and "g<LeftMouse>" work just like "CTRL-]". - use the ":ta {subject}" command. This also works with non-keyword characters. Use CTRL-T or CTRL-O to jump back. Use ":q" to close the help window. If there are several matches for an item you are looking for, this is how you can jump to each one of them: 1. Open a help window 2. Use the ":tag" command with a slash prepended to the tag. E.g.: > :tag /min 3. Use ":tnext" to jump to the next matching tag. It is possible to add help files for plugins and other items. You don't need to change the distributed help files for that. See \|add-local-help\|. To write a local help file, see \|write-local-help\|. Note that the title lines from the local help files are automagically added to the "LOCAL ADDITIONS" section in the "help.txt" help file \|local-additions\|. This is done when viewing the file in Vim, the file itself is not changed. It is done by going through all help files and obtaining the first line of each file. The files in $VIMRUNTIME/doc are skipped. help-xterm-window* If you want to have the help in another xterm window, you could use this command: > :!xterm -e vim +help & < :helpfind :helpf :helpf[ind] Like \|:help\|, but use a dialog to enter the argument. Only for backwards compatibility. It now executes the ToolBar.FindHelp menu entry instead of using a builtin dialog. {only when compiled with \|+GUI_GTK\|} :helpt :helptags E154 E150 E151 E152 E153 E670 :helpt[ags] [++t] {dir} Generate the help tags file(s) for directory {dir}. When {dir} is ALL then all "doc" directories in 'runtimepath' will be used. All ".txt" and ".??x" files in the directory and sub-directories are scanned for a help tag definition in between stars. The ".??x" files are for translated docs, they generate the "tags-??" file, see \|help-translated\|. The generated tags files are sorted. When there are duplicates an error message is given. An existing tags file is silently overwritten. The optional "++t" argument forces adding the "help-tags" tag. This is also done when the {dir} is equal to $VIMRUNTIME/doc. To rebuild the help tags in the runtime directory (requires write permission there): > :helptags $VIMRUNTIME/doc ============================================================================== 2. Translated help files help-translated* It is possible to add translated help files, next to the original English help files. Vim will search for all help in "doc" directories in 'runtimepath'. This is only available when compiled with the \|+multi_lang\| feature. At this moment translations are available for: Chinese - multiple authors French - translated by David Blanchet Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo Japanese - multiple authors Polish - translated by Mikolaj Machowski Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin See the Vim website to find them: http://www.vim.org/translations.php A set of translated help files consists of these files: help.abx howto.abx ... tags-ab "ab" is the two-letter language code. Thus for Italian the names are: help.itx howto.itx ... tags-it The 'helplang' option can be set to the preferred language(s). The default is set according to the environment. Vim will first try to find a matching tag in the preferred language(s). English is used when it cannot be found. To find a tag in a specific language, append "@ab" to a tag, where "ab" is the two-letter language code. Example: > :he user-manual@it :he user-manual@en The first one finds the Italian user manual, even when 'helplang' is empty. The second one finds the English user manual, even when 'helplang' is set to "it". When using command-line completion for the ":help" command, the "@en" extension is only shown when a tag exists for multiple languages. When the tag only exists for English "@en" is omitted. When the first candidate has an "@ab" extension and it matches the first language in 'helplang' "@ab" is also omitted. When using \|CTRL-]\| or ":help!" in a non-English help file Vim will try to find the tag in the same language. If not found then 'helplang' will be used to select a language. Help files must use latin1 or utf-8 encoding. Vim assumes the encoding is utf-8 when finding non-ASCII characters in the first line. Thus you must translate the header with "For Vim version". The same encoding must be used for the help files of one language in one directory. You can use a different encoding for different languages and use a different encoding for help files of the same language but in a different directory. Hints for translators: - Do not translate the tags. This makes it possible to use 'helplang' to specify the preferred language. You may add new tags in your language. - When you do not translate a part of a file, add tags to the English version, using the "tag@en" notation. - Make a package with all the files and the tags file available for download. Users can drop it in one of the "doc" directories and start use it. Report this to Bram, so that he can add a link on www.vim.org. - Use the \|:helptags\| command to generate the tags files. It will find all languages in the specified directory. ============================================================================== 3. Writing help files help-writing For ease of use, a Vim help file for a plugin should follow the format of the standard Vim help files. If you are writing a new help file it's best to copy one of the existing files and use it as a template. The first line in a help file should have the following format: helpfile_name.txt For Vim version 7.3 Last change: 2010 June 4 The first field is a link to the help file name. The second field describes the applicable Vim version. The last field specifies the last modification date of the file. Each field is separated by a tab. At the bottom of the help file, place a Vim modeline to set the 'textwidth' and 'tabstop' options and the 'filetype' to "help". Never set a global option in such a modeline, that can have consequences undesired by whoever reads that help. TAGS To define a help tag, place the name between asterisks (tag-name). The tag-name should be different from all the Vim help tag names and ideally should begin with the name of the Vim plugin. The tag name is usually right aligned on a line. When referring to an existing help tag and to create a hot-link, place the name between two bars (\|) eg. \|help-writing\|. When referring to a Vim command and to create a hot-link, place the name between two backticks, eg. inside `:filetype`. You will see this is highlighted as a command, like a code block (see below). When referring to a Vim option in the help file, place the option name between two single quotes, eg. 'statusline' HIGHLIGHTING To define a column heading, use a tilde character at the end of the line. This will highlight the column heading in a different color. E.g. Column heading~ To separate sections in a help file, place a series of '=' characters in a line starting from the first column. The section separator line is highlighted differently. To quote a block of ex-commands verbatim, place a greater than (>) character at the end of the line before the block and a less than (<) character as the first non-blank on a line following the block. Any line starting in column 1 also implicitly stops the block of ex-commands before it. E.g. > function Example_Func() echo "Example" endfunction < The following are highlighted differently in a Vim help file: - a special key name expressed either in <> notation as in <PageDown>, or as a Ctrl character as in CTRL-X - anything between {braces}, e.g. {lhs} and {rhs} The word "Note", "Notes" and similar automagically receive distinctive highlighting. So do these: Todo something to do Error something wrong You can find the details in $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/help.vim inclusion Vim is for everybody, no matter race, gender or anything. Some people make a big deal about using "he" or "his" when referring to the user, thinking it means we assume the user is male. That is not the case, it's just a habit of writing help text, which quite often is many years old. Also, a lot of the text is written by contributors for whom English is not their first language. We do not make any assumptions about the gender of the user, no matter how the text is phrased. Some people have suggested using "they", but that is not regular English. We do not want to spend much time on this discussion. The goal is that the reader understands how Vim works, the exact wording is secondary. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	15.36 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

📄 if_cscop.txt if_cscop.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 May 05 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Andy Kahn cscope Cscope This document explains how to use Vim's cscope interface. Cscope is a tool like ctags, but think of it as ctags on steroids since it does a lot more than what ctags provides. In Vim, jumping to a result from a cscope query is just like jumping to any tag; it is saved on the tag stack so that with the right keyboard mappings, you can jump back and forth between functions as you normally would with \|tags\|. 1. Cscope introduction \|cscope-intro\| 2. Cscope related commands \|cscope-commands\| 3. Cscope options \|cscope-options\| 4. How to use cscope in Vim \|cscope-howtouse\| 5. Limitations \|cscope-limitations\| 6. Suggested usage \|cscope-suggestions\| 7. Availability & Information \|cscope-info\| This is currently for Unix and Win32 only. ============================================================================== 1. Cscope introduction cscope-intro The following text is taken from a version of the cscope man page: ----- Cscope is an interactive screen-oriented tool that helps you: Learn how a C program works without endless flipping through a thick listing. Locate the section of code to change to fix a bug without having to learn the entire program. Examine the effect of a proposed change such as adding a value to an enum variable. Verify that a change has been made in all source files such as adding an argument to an existing function. Rename a global variable in all source files. Change a constant to a preprocessor symbol in selected lines of files. It is designed to answer questions like: Where is this symbol used? Where is it defined? Where did this variable get its value? What is this global symbol's definition? Where is this function in the source files? What functions call this function? What functions are called by this function? Where does the message "out of space" come from? Where is this source file in the directory structure? What files include this header file? Cscope answers these questions from a symbol database that it builds the first time it is used on the source files. On a subsequent call, cscope rebuilds the database only if a source file has changed or the list of source files is different. When the database is rebuilt the data for the unchanged files is copied from the old database, which makes rebuilding much faster than the initial build. ----- When cscope is normally invoked, you will get a full-screen selection screen allowing you to make a query for one of the above questions. However, once a match is found to your query and you have entered your text editor to edit the source file containing match, you cannot simply jump from tag to tag as you normally would with vi's Ctrl-] or :tag command. Vim's cscope interface is done by invoking cscope with its line-oriented interface, and then parsing the output returned from a query. The end result is that cscope query results become just like regular tags, so you can jump to them just like you do with normal tags (Ctrl-] or :tag) and then go back by popping off the tagstack with Ctrl-T. (Please note however, that you don't actually jump to a cscope tag simply by doing Ctrl-] or :tag without remapping these commands or setting an option. See the remaining sections on how the cscope interface works and for suggested use.) ============================================================================== 2. Cscope related commands cscope-commands :cscope :cs :scs :scscope E259 E262 E561 E560 All cscope commands are accessed through suboptions to the cscope commands. `:cscope` or `:cs` is the main command `:scscope` or `:scs` does the same and splits the window `:lcscope` or `:lcs` uses the location list, see \|:lcscope\| The available subcommands are: E563 E564 E566 E568 E622 E623 E625 E626 E609 add : Add a new cscope database/connection. USAGE :cs add {file\|dir} [pre-path] [flags] [pre-path] is the pathname used with the -P command to cscope. [flags] are any additional flags you want to pass to cscope. EXAMPLES > :cscope add /usr/local/cdb/cscope.out :cscope add /projects/vim/cscope.out /usr/local/vim :cscope add cscope.out /usr/local/vim -C < cscope-find cs-find E567 find : Query cscope. All cscope query options are available except option #5 ("Change this grep pattern"). USAGE :cs find {querytype} {name} {querytype} corresponds to the actual cscope line interface numbers as well as default nvi commands: 0 or s: Find this C symbol 1 or g: Find this definition 2 or d: Find functions called by this function 3 or c: Find functions calling this function 4 or t: Find this text string 6 or e: Find this egrep pattern 7 or f: Find this file 8 or i: Find files #including this file 9 or a: Find places where this symbol is assigned a value For all types, except 4 and 6, leading white space for {name} is removed. For 4 and 6 there is exactly one space between {querytype} and {name}. Further white space is included in {name}. EXAMPLES > :cscope find c vim_free :cscope find 3 vim_free < These two examples perform the same query: functions calling "vim_free". > :cscope find t initOnce :cscope find t initOnce < The first one searches for the text "initOnce", the second one for " initOnce". > :cscope find 0 DEFAULT_TERM < Executing this example on the source code for Vim 5.1 produces the following output: Cscope tag: DEFAULT_TERM # line filename / context / line 1 1009 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"amiga" 2 1013 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"win32" 3 1017 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"pcterm" 4 1021 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"ansi" 5 1025 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"vt52" 6 1029 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"os2ansi" 7 1033 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"ansi" 8 1037 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> # undef DEFAULT_TERM 9 1038 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"beos-ansi" 10 1042 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<GLOBAL>> #define DEFAULT_TERM (char_u )"mac-ansi" 11 1335 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<set_termname>> term = DEFAULT_TERM; 12 1459 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<set_termname>> if (STRCMP(term, DEFAULT_TERM)) 13 1826 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<termcapinit>> term = DEFAULT_TERM; 14 1833 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<termcapinit>> term = DEFAULT_TERM; 15 3635 vim-5.1-gtk/src/term.c <<update_tcap>> p = find_builtin_term(DEFAULT_TERM); Enter nr of choice (<CR> to abort): The output shows several pieces of information: 1. The tag number (there are 15 in this example). 2. The line number where the tag occurs. 3. The filename where the tag occurs. 4. The context of the tag (e.g., global, or the function name). 5. The line from the file itself. help : Show a brief synopsis. USAGE :cs help E261* kill : Kill a cscope connection (or kill all cscope connections). USAGE :cs kill {num\|partial_name} To kill a cscope connection, the connection number or a partial name must be specified. The partial name is simply any part of the pathname of the cscope database. Kill a cscope connection using the partial name with caution! If the specified connection number is -1, then _ALL_ cscope connections will be killed. reset : Reinit all cscope connections. USAGE :cs reset show : Show cscope connections. USAGE :cs show :lcscope :lcs This command is same as the ":cscope" command, except when the 'cscopequickfix' option is set, the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list to show the cscope results. :cstag E257 E562 If you use cscope as well as ctags, \|:cstag\| allows you to search one or the other before making a jump. For example, you can choose to first search your cscope database(s) for a match, and if one is not found, then your tags file(s) will be searched. The order in which this happens is determined by the value of \|csto\|. See \|cscope-options\| for more details. \|:cstag\| performs the equivalent of ":cs find g" on the identifier when searching through the cscope database(s). \|:cstag\| performs the equivalent of \|:tjump\| on the identifier when searching through your tags file(s). ============================================================================== 3. Cscope options cscope-options Use the \|:set\| command to set all cscope options. Ideally, you would do this in one of your startup files (e.g., .vimrc). Some cscope related variables are only valid within \|.vimrc\|. Setting them after vim has started will have no effect! cscopeprg csprg 'cscopeprg' specifies the command to execute cscope. The default is "cscope". For example: > :set csprg=/usr/local/bin/cscope < cscopequickfix csqf E469 {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} 'cscopequickfix' specifies whether to use quickfix window to show cscope results. This is a list of comma-separated values. Each item consists of \|cscope-find\| command (s, g, d, c, t, e, f, i or a) and flag (+, - or 0). '+' indicates that results must be appended to quickfix window, '-' implies previous results clearance, '0' or command absence - don't use quickfix. Search is performed from start until first command occurrence. The default value is "" (don't use quickfix anyway). The following value seems to be useful: > :set cscopequickfix=s-,c-,d-,i-,t-,e-,a- < cscopetag cst If 'cscopetag' is set, the commands ":tag" and CTRL-] as well as "vim -t" will always use \|:cstag\| instead of the default :tag behavior. Effectively, by setting 'cst', you will always search your cscope databases as well as your tag files. The default is off. Examples: > :set cst :set nocst < cscoperelative csre If 'cscoperelative' is set, then in absence of a prefix given to cscope (prefix is the argument of -P option of cscope), basename of cscope.out location (usually the project root directory) will be used as the prefix to construct an absolute path. The default is off. Note: This option is only effective when cscope (cscopeprg) is initialized without a prefix path (-P). Examples: > :set csre :set nocsre < cscopetagorder csto The value of 'csto' determines the order in which \|:cstag\| performs a search. If 'csto' is set to zero, cscope database(s) are searched first, followed by tag file(s) if cscope did not return any matches. If 'csto' is set to one, tag file(s) are searched before cscope database(s). The default is zero. Examples: > :set csto=0 :set csto=1 < cscopeverbose csverb If 'cscopeverbose' is not set (the default), messages will not be printed indicating success or failure when adding a cscope database. Ideally, you should reset this option in your \|.vimrc\| before adding any cscope databases, and after adding them, set it. From then on, when you add more databases within Vim, you will get a (hopefully) useful message should the database fail to be added. Examples: > :set csverb :set nocsverb < cscopepathcomp cspc The value of 'cspc' determines how many components of a file's path to display. With the default value of zero the entire path will be displayed. The value one will display only the filename with no path. Other values display that many components. For example: > :set cspc=3 will display the last 3 components of the file's path, including the file name itself. ============================================================================== 4. How to use cscope in Vim cscope-howtouse The first thing you need to do is to build a cscope database for your source files. For the most basic case, simply do "cscope -b". Please refer to the cscope man page for more details. Assuming you have a cscope database, you need to "add" the database to Vim. This establishes a cscope "connection" and makes it available for Vim to use. You can do this in your .vimrc file, or you can do it manually after starting vim. For example, to add the cscope database "cscope.out", you would do: :cs add cscope.out You can double-check the result of this by executing ":cs show". This will produce output which looks like this: # pid database name prepend path 0 28806 cscope.out <none> Note: Because of the Microsoft RTL limitations, Win32 version shows 0 instead of the real pid. Once a cscope connection is established, you can make queries to cscope and the results will be printed to you. Queries are made using the command ":cs find". For example: :cs find g ALIGN_SIZE This can get a little cumbersome since one ends up doing a significant amount of typing. Fortunately, there are ways around this by mapping shortcut keys. See \|cscope-suggestions\| for suggested usage. If the results return only one match, you will automatically be taken to it. If there is more than one match, you will be given a selection screen to pick the match you want to go to. After you have jumped to the new location, simply hit Ctrl-T to get back to the previous one. ============================================================================== 5. Limitations cscope-limitations Cscope support for Vim is only available on systems that support these four system calls: fork(), pipe(), execl(), waitpid(). This means it is mostly limited to Unix systems. Additionally Cscope support works for Win32. For more information and a cscope version for Win32 see: http://iamphet.nm.ru/cscope/index.html The DJGPP-built version from http://cscope.sourceforge.net is known to not work with Vim. Hard-coded limitation: doing a \|:tjump\| when \|:cstag\| searches the tag files is not configurable (e.g., you can't do a tselect instead). ============================================================================== 6. Suggested usage cscope-suggestions Put these entries in your .vimrc (adjust the pathname accordingly to your setup): > if has("cscope") set csprg=/usr/local/bin/cscope set csto=0 set cst set nocsverb " add any database in current directory if filereadable("cscope.out") cs add cscope.out " else add database pointed to by environment elseif $CSCOPE_DB != "" cs add $CSCOPE_DB endif set csverb endif By setting 'cscopetag', we have effectively replaced all instances of the :tag command with :cstag. This includes :tag, Ctrl-], and "vim -t". In doing this, the regular tag command not only searches your ctags generated tag files, but your cscope databases as well. Some users may want to keep the regular tag behavior and have a different shortcut to access :cstag. For example, one could map Ctrl-_ (underscore) to :cstag with the following command: > map <C-_> :cstag <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> A couple of very commonly used cscope queries (using ":cs find") is to find all functions calling a certain function and to find all occurrences of a particular C symbol. To do this, you can use these mappings as an example: > map g<C-]> :cs find 3 <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> map g<C-\> :cs find 0 <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> These mappings for Ctrl-] (right bracket) and Ctrl-\ (backslash) allow you to place your cursor over the function name or C symbol and quickly query cscope for any matches. Or you may use the following scheme, inspired by Vim/Cscope tutorial from Cscope Home Page (http://cscope.sourceforge.net/): > nmap <C-_>s :cs find s <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-_>g :cs find g <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-_>c :cs find c <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-_>t :cs find t <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-_>e :cs find e <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-_>f :cs find f <C-R>=expand("<cfile>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-_>i :cs find i ^<C-R>=expand("<cfile>")<CR>$<CR> nmap <C-_>d :cs find d <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-_>a :cs find a <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> " Using 'CTRL-spacebar' then a search type makes the vim window " split horizontally, with search result displayed in " the new window. nmap <C-Space>s :scs find s <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space>g :scs find g <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space>c :scs find c <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space>t :scs find t <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space>e :scs find e <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space>f :scs find f <C-R>=expand("<cfile>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space>i :scs find i ^<C-R>=expand("<cfile>")<CR>$<CR> nmap <C-Space>d :scs find d <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space>a :scs find a <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> " Hitting CTRL-space twice before the search type does a vertical " split instead of a horizontal one nmap <C-Space><C-Space>s \:vert scs find s <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space><C-Space>g \:vert scs find g <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space><C-Space>c \:vert scs find c <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space><C-Space>t \:vert scs find t <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space><C-Space>e \:vert scs find e <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space><C-Space>i \:vert scs find i ^<C-R>=expand("<cfile>")<CR>$<CR> nmap <C-Space><C-Space>d \:vert scs find d <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> nmap <C-Space><C-Space>a \:vert scs find a <C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR><CR> ============================================================================== 7. Cscope availability and information cscope-info If you do not already have cscope (it did not come with your compiler license or OS distribution), then you can download it for free from: http://cscope.sourceforge.net/ This is released by SCO under the BSD license. In Solaris 2.x, if you have the C compiler license, you will also have cscope. Both are usually located under /opt/SUNWspro/bin There is source to an older version of a cscope clone (called "cs") available on the net. Due to various reasons, this is not supported with Vim. The cscope interface/support for Vim was originally written by Andy Kahn <ackahn@netapp.com>. The original structure (as well as a tiny bit of code) was adapted from the cscope interface in nvi. cscope-win32 For a cscope version for Win32 see (seems abandoned): https://code.google.com/archive/p/cscope-win32/ Win32 support was added by Sergey Khorev <sergey.khorev@gmail.com>. Contact him if you have Win32-specific issues. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	18.87 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Examples: > :lua print("Hello, Vim!") :lua local curbuf = vim.buffer() curbuf[7] = "line #7" < :[range]lua << [trim] [{endmarker}] {script} {endmarker} Execute Lua script {script}. Note: This command doesn't work when the Lua feature wasn't compiled in. To avoid errors, see \|script-here\|. If [endmarker] is omitted from after the "<<", a dot '.' must be used after {script}, like for the \|:append\| and \|:insert\| commands. Refer to \|:let-heredoc\| for more information. This form of the \|:lua\| command is mainly useful for including Lua code in Vim scripts. Example: > function!

If the value returned by the function is a string it becomes the text of the line in the current turn. The default for [range] is the whole file: "1,$". Examples: > :luado return string.format("%s\t%d", line:reverse(), #line) :lua require"lpeg" :lua -- balanced parenthesis grammar: :lua bp = lpeg.P{ "(" * ((1 - lpeg.S"()") + lpeg.V(1))^0 * ")" } :luado if bp:match(line) then return "-->\t" .. line end < :luafile :[range]luafile {file} Execute Lua script in {file}. The whole argument is used as a single file name. Examples: > :luafile script.lua :luafile % < All these commands execute a Lua chunk from either the command line (:lua and :luado) or a file (:luafile) with the given line [range]. Similarly to the Lua interpreter, each chunk has its own scope and so only global variables are shared between command calls. All Lua default libraries are available. In addition, Lua "print" function has its output redirected to the Vim message area, with arguments separated by a white space instead of a tab. Lua uses the "vim" module (see \|lua-vim\|) to issue commands to Vim and manage buffers (\|lua-buffer\|) and windows (\|lua-window\|). However, procedures that alter buffer content, open new buffers, and change cursor position are restricted when the command is executed in the \|sandbox\|. ============================================================================== 2. The vim module lua-vim Lua interfaces Vim through the "vim" module. The first and last line of the input range are stored in "vim.firstline" and "vim.lastline" respectively. The module also includes routines for buffer, window, and current line queries, Vim evaluation and command execution, and others. vim.list([arg]) Returns an empty list or, if "arg" is a Lua table with numeric keys 1, ..., n (a "sequence"), returns a list l such that l[i] = arg[i] for i = 1, ..., n (see \|List\|). Non-numeric keys are not used to initialize the list. See also \|lua-eval\| for conversion rules. Example: > :lua t = {math.pi, false, say = 'hi'} :echo luaeval('vim.list(t)') :" [3.141593, v:false], 'say' is ignored < vim.dict([arg]) Returns an empty dictionary or, if "arg" is a Lua table, returns a dict d such that d[k] = arg[k] for all string keys k in "arg" (see \|Dictionary\|). Number keys are converted to strings. Keys that are not strings are not used to initialize the dictionary. See also \|lua-eval\| for conversion rules. Example: > :lua t = {math.pi, false, say = 'hi'} :echo luaeval('vim.dict(t)') :" {'1': 3.141593, '2': v:false, :" 'say': 'hi'} < vim.blob([arg]) Returns an empty blob or, if "arg" is a Lua string, returns a blob b such that b is equivalent to "arg" as a byte string. Examples: > :lua s = "12ab\x00\x80\xfe\xff" :echo luaeval('vim.blob(s)') :" 0z31326162.0080FEFF < vim.funcref({name}) Returns a Funcref to function {name} (see \|Funcref\|). It is equivalent to Vim's function(). vim.buffer([arg]) If "arg" is a number, returns buffer with number "arg" in the buffer list or, if "arg" is a string, returns buffer whose full or short name is "arg". In both cases, returns 'nil' (nil value, not string) if the buffer is not found. Otherwise, if "toboolean(arg)" is 'true' returns the first buffer in the buffer list or else the current buffer. vim.window([arg]) If "arg" is a number, returns window with number "arg" or 'nil' (nil value, not string) if not found. Otherwise, if "toboolean(arg)" is 'true' returns the first window or else the current window. vim.type({arg}) Returns the type of {arg}. It is equivalent to Lua's "type" function, but returns "list", "dict", "funcref", "buffer", or "window" if {arg} is a list, dictionary, funcref, buffer, or window, respectively. Examples: > :lua l = vim.list() :lua print(type(l), vim.type(l)) :" list < vim.command({cmd}) Executes the vim (ex-mode) command {cmd}. Examples: > :lua vim.command"set tw=60" :lua vim.command"normal ddp" < vim.eval({expr}) Evaluates expression {expr} (see \|expression\|), converts the result to Lua, and returns it. Vim strings and numbers are directly converted to Lua strings and numbers respectively. Vim lists and dictionaries are converted to Lua userdata (see \|lua-list\| and \|lua-dict\|). Examples: > :lua tw = vim.eval"&tw" :lua print(vim.eval"{'a': 'one'}".a) < vim.line() Returns the current line (without the trailing <EOL>), a Lua string. vim.beep() Beeps. vim.open({fname}) Opens a new buffer for file {fname} and returns it. Note that the buffer is not set as current. vim.call({name} [, {args}]) Proxy to call Vim function named {name} with arguments {args}. Example: > :lua print(vim.call('has', 'timers')) < vim.fn Proxy to call Vim functions. Proxy methods are created on demand. Example: > :lua print(vim.fn.has('timers')) < ============================================================================== 3. List userdata lua-list List userdata represent vim lists, and the interface tries to follow closely Vim's syntax for lists. Since lists are objects, changes in list references in Lua are reflected in Vim and vice-versa. A list "l" has the following properties and methods: NOTE: In patch 8.2.1066 array indexes were changed from zero-based to one-based. You can check with: > if has("patch-8.2.1066") Properties ---------- o "#l" is the number of items in list "l", equivalent to "len(l)" in Vim. o "l[k]" returns the k-th item in "l"; "l" is one-indexed, as in Lua. To modify the k-th item, simply do "l[k] = newitem"; in particular, "l[k] = nil" removes the k-th item from "l". Item can be added to the end of the list by "l[#l + 1] = newitem" o "l()" returns an iterator for "l". o "table.insert(l, newitem)" inserts an item at the end of the list. (only Lua 5.3 and later) o "table.insert(l, position, newitem)" inserts an item at the specified position. "position" is one-indexed. (only Lua 5.3 and later) o "table.remove(l, position)" removes an item at the specified position. "position" is one-indexed. Methods ------- o "l:add(item)" appends "item" to the end of "l". o "l:insert(item[, pos])" inserts "item" at (optional) position "pos" in the list. The default value for "pos" is 0. Examples: > :let l = [1, 'item'] :lua l = vim.eval('l') -- same 'l' :lua l:add(vim.list()) :lua l[1] = math.pi :echo l[0] " 3.141593 :lua l[1] = nil -- remove first item :lua l:insert(true, 1) :lua print(l, #l, l[1], l[2]) :lua l[#l + 1] = 'value' :lua table.insert(l, 100) :lua table.insert(l, 2, 200) :lua table.remove(l, 1) :lua for item in l() do print(item) end ============================================================================== 4. Dict userdata lua-dict Similarly to list userdata, dict userdata represent vim dictionaries; since dictionaries are also objects, references are kept between Lua and Vim. A dict "d" has the following properties: Properties ---------- o "#d" is the number of items in dict "d", equivalent to "len(d)" in Vim. o "d.key" or "d['key']" returns the value at entry "key" in "d". To modify the entry at this key, simply do "d.key = newvalue"; in particular, "d.key = nil" removes the entry from "d". o "d()" returns an iterator for "d" and is equivalent to "items(d)" in Vim. Examples: > :let d = {'n':10} :lua d = vim.eval('d') -- same 'd' :lua print(d, d.n, #d) :let d.self = d :lua for k, v in d() do print(d, k, v) end :lua d.x = math.pi :lua d.self = nil -- remove entry :echo d < ============================================================================== 5. Blob userdata lua-blob Blob userdata represent vim blobs. A blob "b" has the following properties: Properties ---------- o "#b" is the length of blob "b", equivalent to "len(b)" in Vim. o "b[k]" returns the k-th item in "b"; "b" is zero-indexed, as in Vim. To modify the k-th item, simply do "b[k] = number"; in particular, "b[#b] = number" can append a byte to tail. Methods ------- o "b:add(bytes)" appends "bytes" to the end of "b". Examples: > :let b = 0z001122 :lua b = vim.eval('b') -- same 'b' :lua print(b, b[0], #b) :lua b[1] = 32 :lua b[#b] = 0x33 -- append a byte to tail :lua b:add("\x80\x81\xfe\xff") :echo b < ============================================================================== 6. Funcref userdata lua-funcref Funcref userdata represent funcref variables in Vim. Funcrefs that were defined with a "dict" attribute need to be obtained as a dictionary key in order to have "self" properly assigned to the dictionary (see examples below.) A funcref "f" has the following properties: Properties ---------- o "#f" is the name of the function referenced by "f" o "f(...)" calls the function referenced by "f" (with arguments) Examples: > :function I(x) : return a:x : endfunction :let R = function('I') :lua i1 = vim.funcref('I') :lua i2 = vim.eval('R') :lua print(#i1, #i2) -- both 'I' :lua print(i1, i2, #i2(i1) == #i1(i2)) :function Mylen() dict : return len(self.data) : endfunction :let mydict = {'data': [0, 1, 2, 3]} :lua d = vim.eval('mydict'); d.len = vim.funcref('Mylen') :echo mydict.len() :lua l = d.len -- assign d as 'self' :lua print(l()) < Lua functions and closures are automatically converted to a Vim \|Funcref\| and can be accessed in Vim scripts. Example: > lua <<EOF vim.fn.timer_start(1000, function(timer) print('timer callback') end) EOF ============================================================================== 7. Buffer userdata lua-buffer Buffer userdata represent vim buffers. A buffer userdata "b" has the following properties and methods: Properties ---------- o "b()" sets "b" as the current buffer. o "#b" is the number of lines in buffer "b". o "b[k]" represents line number k: "b[k] = newline" replaces line k with string "newline" and "b[k] = nil" deletes line k. o "b.name" contains the short name of buffer "b" (read-only). o "b.fname" contains the full name of buffer "b" (read-only). o "b.number" contains the position of buffer "b" in the buffer list (read-only). Methods ------- o "b:insert(newline[, pos])" inserts string "newline" at (optional) position "pos" in the buffer. The default value for "pos" is "#b + 1". If "pos == 0" then "newline" becomes the first line in the buffer. o "b:next()" returns the buffer next to "b" in the buffer list. o "b:previous()" returns the buffer previous to "b" in the buffer list. o "b:isvalid()" returns 'true' (boolean) if buffer "b" corresponds to a "real" (not freed from memory) Vim buffer. Examples: > :lua b = vim.buffer() -- current buffer :lua print(b.name, b.number) :lua b[1] = "first line" :lua b:insert("FIRST!", 0) :lua b[1] = nil -- delete top line :lua for i=1,3 do b:insert(math.random()) end :3,4lua for i=vim.lastline,vim.firstline,-1 do b[i] = nil end :lua vim.open"myfile"() -- open buffer and set it as current function! ListBuffers() lua << EOF local b = vim.buffer(true) -- first buffer in list while b ~= nil do print(b.number, b.name, #b) b = b:next() end vim.beep() EOF endfunction < ============================================================================== 8. Window userdata lua-window Window objects represent vim windows. A window userdata "w" has the following properties and methods: Properties ---------- o "w()" sets "w" as the current window. o "w.buffer" contains the buffer of window "w" (read-only). o "w.line" represents the cursor line position in window "w". o "w.col" represents the cursor column position in window "w". o "w.width" represents the width of window "w". o "w.height" represents the height of window "w". Methods ------- o "w:next()" returns the window next to "w". o "w:previous()" returns the window previous to "w". o "w:isvalid()" returns 'true' (boolean) if window "w" corresponds to a "real" (not freed from memory) Vim window. Examples: > :lua w = vim.window() -- current window :lua print(w.buffer.name, w.line, w.col) :lua w.width = w.width + math.random(10) :lua w.height = 2 * math.random() * w.height :lua n,w = 0,vim.window(true) while w~=nil do n,w = n + 1,w:next() end :lua print("There are " .. n .. " windows") < ============================================================================== 9. luaeval() Vim function lua-luaeval lua-eval The (dual) equivalent of "vim.eval" for passing Lua values to Vim is "luaeval". "luaeval" takes an expression string and an optional argument and returns the result of the expression. It is semantically equivalent in Lua to: > local chunkheader = "local _A = select(1, ...) return " function luaeval (expstr, arg) local chunk = assert(loadstring(chunkheader .. expstr, "luaeval")) return chunk(arg) -- return typval end < Note that "_A" receives the argument to "luaeval". Lua numbers, strings, and list, dict, blob, and funcref userdata are converted to their Vim respective types, while Lua booleans are converted to numbers. An error is thrown if conversion of any of the remaining Lua types, including userdata other than lists, dicts, blobs, and funcrefs, is attempted. Examples: > :echo luaeval('math.pi') :lua a = vim.list():add('newlist') :let a = luaeval('a') :echo a[0] " 'newlist' :function Rand(x,y) " random uniform between x and y : return luaeval('(_A.y-_A.x)math.random()+_A.x', {'x':a:x,'y':a:y}) : endfunction :echo Rand(1,10) ============================================================================== 10. Dynamic loading lua-dynamic* On MS-Windows and Unix the Lua library can be loaded dynamically. The \|:version\| output then includes \|+lua/dyn\|. This means that Vim will search for the Lua DLL or shared library file only when needed. When you don't use the Lua interface you don't need it, thus you can use Vim without this file. MS-Windows ~ To use the Lua interface the Lua DLL must be in your search path. In a console window type "path" to see what directories are used. The 'luadll' option can be also used to specify the Lua DLL. The version of the DLL must match the Lua version Vim was compiled with. Unix ~ The 'luadll' option can be used to specify the Lua shared library file instead of DYNAMIC_LUA_DLL file what was specified at compile time. The version of the shared library must match the Lua version Vim was compiled with. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	16.36 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 if_mzsch.txt if_mzsch.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Oct 14 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Sergey Khorev The MzScheme Interface to Vim mzscheme MzScheme 1. Commands \|mzscheme-commands\| 2. Examples \|mzscheme-examples\| 3. Threads \|mzscheme-threads\| 4. Vim access from MzScheme \|mzscheme-vim\| 5. mzeval() Vim function \|mzscheme-mzeval\| 6. Using Function references \|mzscheme-funcref\| 7. Dynamic loading \|mzscheme-dynamic\| 8. MzScheme setup \|mzscheme-setup\| {only available when Vim was compiled with the \|+mzscheme\| feature} Based on the work of Brent Fulgham. Dynamic loading added by Sergey Khorev MzScheme and PLT Scheme names have been rebranded as Racket. For more information please check http://racket-lang.org Futures and places of Racket version 5.x up to and including 5.3.1 do not work correctly with processes created by Vim. The simplest solution is to build Racket on your own with these features disabled: > ./configure --disable-futures --disable-places --prefix=your-install-prefix To speed up the process, you might also want to use --disable-gracket and --disable-docs ============================================================================== 1. Commands mzscheme-commands :mzscheme :mz :[range]mz[scheme] {stmt} Execute MzScheme statement {stmt}. :[range]mz[scheme] << [trim] [{endmarker}] {script} {endmarker} Execute inlined MzScheme script {script}. Note: This command doesn't work when the MzScheme feature wasn't compiled in. To avoid errors, see \|script-here\|. If [endmarker] is omitted from after the "<<", a dot '.' must be used after {script}, like for the \|:append\| and \|:insert\| commands. Refer to \|:let-heredoc\| for more information. :mzfile :mzf :[range]mzf[ile] {file} Execute the MzScheme script in {file}. All of these commands do essentially the same thing - they execute a piece of MzScheme code, with the "current range" set to the given line range. In the case of :mzscheme, the code to execute is in the command-line. In the case of :mzfile, the code to execute is the contents of the given file. MzScheme interface defines exception exn:vim, derived from exn. It is raised for various Vim errors. During compilation, the MzScheme interface will remember the current MzScheme collection path. If you want to specify additional paths use the 'current-library-collection-paths' parameter. E.g., to cons the user-local MzScheme collection path: > :mz << EOF (current-library-collection-paths (cons (build-path (find-system-path 'addon-dir) (version) "collects") (current-library-collection-paths))) EOF < All functionality is provided through module vimext. The exn:vim is available without explicit import. To avoid clashes with MzScheme, consider using prefix when requiring module, e.g.: > :mzscheme (require (prefix vim- vimext)) < All the examples below assume this naming scheme. mzscheme-sandbox When executed in the \|sandbox\|, access to some filesystem and Vim interface procedures is restricted. ============================================================================== 2. Examples mzscheme-examples > :mzscheme (display "Hello") :mz (display (string-append "Using MzScheme version " (version))) :mzscheme (require (prefix vim- vimext)) ; for MzScheme < 4.x :mzscheme (require (prefix-in vim- 'vimext)) ; MzScheme 4.x :mzscheme (vim-set-buff-line 10 "This is line #10") To see what version of MzScheme you have: > :mzscheme (display (version)) < Inline script usage: > function! <SID>SetFirstLine() :mz << EOF (display "!!!") (require (prefix vim- vimext)) ; for newer versions (require (prefix-in vim- 'vimext)) (vim-set-buff-line 1 "This is line #1") (vim-beep) EOF endfunction nmap <F9> :call <SID>SetFirstLine() <CR> < File execution: > :mzfile supascript.scm < Vim exception handling: > :mz << EOF (require (prefix vim- vimext)) ; for newer versions (require (prefix-in vim- 'vimext)) (with-handlers ([exn:vim?

MzRequire() :redir => l:mzversion :mz (version) :redir END if strpart(l:mzversion, 1, 1) < "4" " MzScheme versions < 4.x: :mz (require (prefix vim- vimext)) else " newer versions: :mz (require (prefix-in vim- 'vimext)) endif endfunction if has("mzscheme") silent call MzRequire() endif < ============================================================================== 3. Threads mzscheme-threads The MzScheme interface supports threads. They are independent from OS threads, thus scheduling is required. The option 'mzquantum' determines how often Vim should poll for available MzScheme threads. NOTE Thread scheduling in the console version of Vim is less reliable than in the GUI version. ============================================================================== 4. Vim access from MzScheme mzscheme-vim mzscheme-vimext The 'vimext' module provides access to procedures defined in the MzScheme interface. Common ------ (command {command-string}) Perform the vim ":Ex" style command. (eval {expr-string}) Evaluate the vim expression into respective MzScheme object: \|Lists\| are represented as Scheme lists, \|Dictionaries\| as hash tables, \|Funcref\|s as functions (see also \|mzscheme-funcref\|) NOTE the name clashes with MzScheme eval, use module qualifiers to overcome this. (range-start) Start/End of the range passed with (range-end) the Scheme command. (beep) beep (get-option {option-name} [buffer-or-window]) Get Vim option value (either local or global, see set-option). (set-option {string} [buffer-or-window]) Set a Vim option. String must have option setting form (like optname=optval, or optname+=optval, etc.) When called with {buffer} or {window} the local option will be set. The symbol 'global can be passed as {buffer-or-window}. Then \|:setglobal\| will be used. Buffers mzscheme-buffer ------- (buff? {object}) Is object a buffer? (buff-valid? {object}) Is object a valid buffer? (i.e. corresponds to the real Vim buffer) (get-buff-line {linenr} [buffer]) Get line from a buffer. (set-buff-line {linenr} {string} [buffer]) Set a line in a buffer. If {string} is #f, the line gets deleted. The [buffer] argument is optional. If omitted, the current buffer will be used. (get-buff-line-list {start} {end} [buffer]) Get a list of lines in a buffer. {Start} and {end} are 1-based and inclusive. (set-buff-line-list {start} {end} {string-list} [buffer]) Set a list of lines in a buffer. If string-list is #f or null, the lines get deleted. If a list is shorter than {end}-{start} the remaining lines will be deleted. (get-buff-name [buffer]) Get a buffer's text name. (get-buff-num [buffer]) Get a buffer's number. (get-buff-size [buffer]) Get buffer line count. (insert-buff-line-list {linenr} {string/string-list} [buffer]) Insert a list of lines into a buffer after {linenr}. If {linenr} is 0, lines will be inserted at start. (curr-buff) Get the current buffer. Use other MzScheme interface procedures to change it. (buff-count) Get count of total buffers in the editor. (get-next-buff [buffer]) Get next buffer. (get-prev-buff [buffer]) Get previous buffer. Return #f when there are no more buffers. (open-buff {filename}) Open a new buffer (for file "name") (get-buff-by-name {buffername}) Get a buffer by its filename or #f if there is no such buffer. (get-buff-by-num {buffernum}) Get a buffer by its number (return #f if there is no buffer with this number). Windows mzscheme-window ------ (win? {object}) Is object a window? (win-valid? {object}) Is object a valid window (i.e. corresponds to the real Vim window)? (curr-win) Get the current window. (win-count) Get count of windows. (get-win-num [window]) Get window number. (get-win-by-num {windownum}) Get window by its number. (get-win-buffer [window]) Get the buffer for a given window. (get-win-height [window]) (set-win-height {height} [window]) Get/Set height of window. (get-win-width [window]) (set-win-width {width} [window])Get/Set width of window. (get-win-list [buffer]) Get list of windows for a buffer. (get-cursor [window]) Get cursor position in a window as a pair (linenr . column). (set-cursor (line . col) [window]) Set cursor position. ============================================================================== 5. mzeval() Vim function mzscheme-mzeval To facilitate bi-directional interface, you can use \|mzeval()\| function to evaluate MzScheme expressions and pass their values to Vim script. ============================================================================== 6. Using Function references mzscheme-funcref MzScheme interface allows use of \|Funcref\|s so you can call Vim functions directly from Scheme. For instance: > function! MyAdd2(arg) return a:arg + 2 endfunction mz (define f2 (vim-eval "function(\"MyAdd2\")")) mz (f2 7) < or : > :mz (define indent (vim-eval "function('indent')")) " return Vim indent for line 12 :mz (indent 12) < ============================================================================== 7. Dynamic loading mzscheme-dynamic E815 On MS-Windows the MzScheme libraries can be loaded dynamically. The \|:version\| output then includes \|+mzscheme/dyn\|. This means that Vim will search for the MzScheme DLL files only when needed. When you don't use the MzScheme interface you don't need them, thus you can use Vim without these DLL files. NOTE: Newer version of MzScheme (Racket) require earlier (trampolined) initialisation via scheme_main_setup. So Vim always loads the MzScheme DLL at startup if possible. This may make Vim startup slower. To use the MzScheme interface the MzScheme DLLs must be in your search path. In a console window type "path" to see what directories are used. On MS-Windows the options 'mzschemedll' and 'mzschemegcdll' are used for the name of the library to load. The initial value is specified at build time. The version of the DLL must match the MzScheme version Vim was compiled with. For MzScheme version 209 they will be "libmzsch209_000.dll" and "libmzgc209_000.dll". To know for sure look at the output of the ":version" command, look for -DDYNAMIC_MZSCH_DLL="something" and -DDYNAMIC_MZGC_DLL="something" in the "Compilation" info. For example, if MzScheme (Racket) is installed at C:\Racket63, you may need to set the environment variable as the following: > PATH=%PATH%;C:\Racket63\lib PLTCOLLECTS=C:\Racket63\collects PLTCONFIGDIR=C:\Racket63\etc < ============================================================================== 8. MzScheme setup mzscheme-setup E895 Vim requires "racket/base" module for if_mzsch core (fallback to "scheme/base" if it doesn't exist), "r5rs" module for test and "raco ctool" command for building Vim. If MzScheme did not have them, you can install them with MzScheme's raco command: > raco pkg install scheme-lib # scheme/base module raco pkg install r5rs-lib # r5rs module raco pkg install cext-lib # raco ctool command < ====================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:sts=4:ft=help:norl:	11.66 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 if_ole.txt if_ole.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Dec 07 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Paul Moore The OLE Interface to Vim ole-interface 1. Activation \|ole-activation\| 2. Methods \|ole-methods\| 3. The "normal" command \|ole-normal\| 4. Registration \|ole-registration\| 5. MS Visual Studio integration \|MSVisualStudio\| {only available when compiled with the \|+ole\| feature. See src/if_ole.INSTALL} An alternative is using the client-server communication \|clientserver\|. ============================================================================== 1. Activation ole-activation Vim acts as an OLE automation server, accessible from any automation client, for example, Visual Basic, Python, or Perl. The Vim application "name" (its "ProgID", in OLE terminology) is "Vim.Application". Hence, in order to start a Vim instance (or connect to an already running instance), code similar to the following should be used: [Visual Basic] > Dim Vim As Object Set Vim = CreateObject("Vim.Application") [Python] > from win32com.client.dynamic import Dispatch vim = Dispatch('Vim.Application') [Perl] > use Win32::OLE; $vim = new Win32::OLE 'Vim.Application'; [C#] > // Add a reference to Vim in your project. // Choose the COM tab. // Select "Vim Ole Interface 1.1 Type Library" Vim.Vim vimobj = new Vim.Vim(); Vim does not support acting as a "hidden" OLE server, like some other OLE Automation servers. When a client starts up an instance of Vim, that instance is immediately visible. Simply closing the OLE connection to the Vim instance is not enough to shut down the Vim instance - it is necessary to explicitly execute a quit command (for example, :qa!, :wqa). ============================================================================== 2. Methods ole-methods Vim exposes four methods for use by clients. ole-sendkeys SendKeys(keys) Execute a series of keys. This method takes a single parameter, which is a string of keystrokes. These keystrokes are executed exactly as if they had been types in at the keyboard. Special keys can be given using their <..> names, as for the right hand side of a mapping. Note: Execution of the Ex "normal" command is not supported - see below \|ole-normal\|. Examples (Visual Basic syntax) > Vim.SendKeys "ihello<Esc>" Vim.SendKeys "ma1GV4jy`a" These examples assume that Vim starts in Normal mode. To force Normal mode, start the key sequence with CTRL-\ CTRL-N as in > Vim.SendKeys "<C-\><C-N>ihello<Esc>" CTRL-\ CTRL-N returns Vim to Normal mode, when in Insert or Command-line mode. Note that this doesn't work halfway a Vim command ole-eval Eval(expr) Evaluate an expression. This method takes a single parameter, which is an expression in Vim's normal format (see \|expression\|). It returns a string, which is the result of evaluating the expression. A \|List\| is turned into a string by joining the items and inserting line breaks. Examples (Visual Basic syntax) > Line20 = Vim.Eval("getline(20)") Twelve = Vim.Eval("6 + 6") ' Note this is a STRING Font = Vim.Eval("&guifont") < ole-setforeground SetForeground() Make the Vim window come to the foreground This method takes no arguments. No value is returned. Example (Visual Basic syntax) > Vim.SetForeground < ole-gethwnd GetHwnd() Return the handle of the Vim window. This method takes no arguments. It returns the hwnd of the main Vimwindow. You can use this if you are writing something which needs to manipulate the Vim window, or to track it in the z-order, etc. Example (Visual Basic syntax) > Vim_Hwnd = Vim.GetHwnd < ============================================================================== 3. The "normal" command ole-normal Due to the way Vim processes OLE Automation commands, combined with the method of implementation of the Ex command :normal, it is not possible to execute the :normal command via OLE automation. Any attempt to do so will fail, probably harmlessly, although possibly in unpredictable ways. There is currently no practical way to trap this situation, and users must simply be aware of the limitation. ============================================================================== 4. Registration ole-registration E243 Before Vim will act as an OLE server, it must be registered in the system registry. In order to do this, Vim should be run with a single parameter of "-register". -register > gvim -register If gvim with OLE support is run and notices that no Vim OLE server has been registered, it will present a dialog and offers you the choice to register by clicking "Yes". In some situations registering is not possible. This happens when the registry is not writable. If you run into this problem you need to run gvim as "Administrator". Once vim is registered, the application path is stored in the registry. Before moving, deleting, or upgrading Vim, the registry entries should be removed using the "-unregister" switch. -unregister > gvim -unregister The OLE mechanism will use the first registered Vim it finds. If a Vim is already running, this one will be used. If you want to have (several) Vim sessions open that should not react to OLE commands, use the non-OLE version, and put it in a different directory. The OLE version should then be put in a directory that is not in your normal path, so that typing "gvim" will start the non-OLE version. -silent To avoid the message box that pops up to report the result, prepend "-silent": > gvim -silent -register gvim -silent -unregister ============================================================================== 5. MS Visual Studio integration MSVisualStudio VisVim The OLE version can be used to run Vim as the editor in Microsoft Visual Studio. This is called "VisVim". It is included in the archive that contains the OLE version. The documentation can be found in the runtime directory, the README_VisVim.txt file. Using Vim with Visual Studio .Net~ With .Net you no longer really need VisVim, since .Net studio has support for external editors. Follow these directions: In .Net Studio choose from the menu Tools->External Tools... Add Title - Vim Command - c:\vim\vim63\gvim.exe Arguments - --servername VS_NET --remote-silent "+call cursor($(CurLine), $(CurCol))" $(ItemPath) Init Dir - Empty Now, when you open a file in .Net, you can choose from the .Net menu: Tools->Vim That will open the file in Vim. You can then add this external command as an icon and place it anywhere you like. You might also be able to set this as your default editor. If you refine this further, please post back to the Vim maillist so we have a record of it. --servername VS_NET This will create a new instance of vim called VS_NET. So if you open multiple files from VS, they will use the same instance of Vim. This allows you to have multiple copies of Vim running, but you can control which one has VS files in it. --remote-silent "+call cursor(10, 27)" - Places the cursor on line 10 column 27 In Vim > :h --remote-silent for more details [.Net remarks provided by Dave Fishburn and Brian Sturk] ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	7.19 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 if_perl.txt if_perl.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Dec 07 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Sven Verdoolaege and Matt Gerassimof Perl and Vim perl Perl 1. Editing Perl files \|perl-editing\| 2. Compiling Vim with Perl interface \|perl-compiling\| 3. Using the Perl interface \|perl-using\| 4. Dynamic loading \|perl-dynamic\| {only available when Vim was compiled with the \|+perl\| feature} ============================================================================== 1. Editing Perl files perl-editing Vim syntax highlighting supports Perl and POD files. Vim assumes a file is Perl code if the filename has a .pl or .pm suffix. Vim also examines the first line of a file, regardless of the filename suffix, to check if a file is a Perl script (see scripts.vim in Vim's syntax directory). Vim assumes a file is POD text if the filename has a .POD suffix. To use tags with Perl, you need a recent version of Exuberant ctags. Look here: http://ctags.sourceforge.net Alternatively, you can use the Perl script pltags.pl, which is shipped with Vim in the $VIMRUNTIME/tools directory. This script has currently more features than Exuberant ctags' Perl support. ============================================================================== 2. Compiling Vim with Perl interface perl-compiling To compile Vim with Perl interface, you need Perl 5.004 (or later). Perl must be installed before you compile Vim. Vim's Perl interface does NOT work with the 5.003 version that has been officially released! It will probably work with Perl 5.003_05 and later. The Perl patches for Vim were made by: Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@breughel.ufsia.ac.be> Matt Gerassimof Perl for MS-Windows (and other platforms) can be found at: http://www.perl.org/ The ActiveState one should work, Strawberry Perl is a good alternative. ============================================================================== 3. Using the Perl interface perl-using :perl :pe :pe[rl] {cmd} Execute Perl command {cmd}. The current package is "main". Simple example to test if `:perl` is working: > :perl VIM::Msg("Hello") :pe[rl] << [trim] [{endmarker}] {script} {endmarker} Execute Perl script {script}. The {endmarker} after {script} must NOT be preceded by any white space. If [endmarker] is omitted, it defaults to a dot '.' like for the \|:append\| and \|:insert\| commands. Using '.' helps when inside a function, because "$i;" looks like the start of an \|:insert\| command to Vim. This form of the \|:perl\| command is mainly useful for including perl code in vim scripts. Note: This command doesn't work when the Perl feature wasn't compiled in. To avoid errors, see \|script-here\|. Example vim script: > function! WhitePearl() perl << EOF VIM::Msg("pearls are nice for necklaces"); VIM::Msg("rubys for rings"); VIM::Msg("pythons for bags"); VIM::Msg("tcls????"); EOF endfunction < To see what version of Perl you have: > :perl print $^V < :perldo :perld :[range]perld[o] {cmd} Execute Perl command {cmd} for each line in the [range], with $_ being set to the text of each line in turn, without a trailing <EOL>. Setting $_ will change the text, but note that it is not possible to add or delete lines using this command. The default for [range] is the whole file: "1,$". Here are some things you can try: > :perl $a=1 :perldo $_ = reverse($_);1 :perl VIM::Msg("hello") :perl $line = $curbuf->Get(42) < E299 Executing Perl commands in the \|sandbox\| is limited. ":perldo" will not be possible at all. ":perl" will be evaluated in the Safe environment, if possible. perl-overview Here is an overview of the functions that are available to Perl: > :perl VIM::Msg("Text") # displays a message :perl VIM::Msg("Wrong!", "ErrorMsg") # displays an error message :perl VIM::Msg("remark", "Comment") # displays a highlighted message :perl VIM::SetOption("ai") # sets a vim option :perl $nbuf = VIM::Buffers() # returns the number of buffers :perl @buflist = VIM::Buffers() # returns array of all buffers :perl $mybuf = (VIM::Buffers('qq.c'))[0] # returns buffer object for 'qq.c' :perl @winlist = VIM::Windows() # returns array of all windows :perl $nwin = VIM::Windows() # returns the number of windows :perl ($success, $v) = VIM::Eval('&path') # $v: option 'path', $success: 1 :perl ($success, $v) = VIM::Eval('&xyz') # $v: '' and $success: 0 :perl $v = VIM::Eval('expand("<cfile>")') # expands <cfile> :perl $curwin->SetHeight(10) # sets the window height :perl @pos = $curwin->Cursor() # returns (row, col) array :perl @pos = (10, 10) :perl $curwin->Cursor(@pos) # sets cursor to @pos :perl $curwin->Cursor(10,10) # sets cursor to row 10 col 10 :perl $mybuf = $curwin->Buffer() # returns the buffer object for window :perl $curbuf->Name() # returns buffer name :perl $curbuf->Number() # returns buffer number :perl $curbuf->Count() # returns the number of lines :perl $l = $curbuf->Get(10) # returns line 10 :perl @l = $curbuf->Get(1 .. 5) # returns lines 1 through 5 :perl $curbuf->Delete(10) # deletes line 10 :perl $curbuf->Delete(10, 20) # delete lines 10 through 20 :perl $curbuf->Append(10, "Line") # appends a line :perl $curbuf->Append(10, "Line1", "Line2", "Line3") # appends 3 lines :perl @l = ("L1", "L2", "L3") :perl $curbuf->Append(10, @l) # appends L1, L2 and L3 :perl $curbuf->Set(10, "Line") # replaces line 10 :perl $curbuf->Set(10, "Line1", "Line2") # replaces lines 10 and 11 :perl $curbuf->Set(10, @l) # replaces 3 lines < perl-Msg VIM::Msg({msg}, {group}?) Displays the message {msg}. The optional {group} argument specifies a highlight group for Vim to use for the message. perl-SetOption VIM::SetOption({arg}) Sets a vim option. {arg} can be any argument that the ":set" command accepts. Note that this means that no spaces are allowed in the argument! See \|:set\|. perl-Buffers VIM::Buffers([{bn}...]) With no arguments, returns a list of all the buffers in an array context or returns the number of buffers in a scalar context. For a list of buffer names or numbers {bn}, returns a list of the buffers matching {bn}, using the same rules as Vim's internal \|bufname()\| function. WARNING: the list becomes invalid when \|:bwipe\| is used. Using it anyway may crash Vim. perl-Windows VIM::Windows([{wn}...]) With no arguments, returns a list of all the windows in an array context or returns the number of windows in a scalar context. For a list of window numbers {wn}, returns a list of the windows with those numbers. WARNING: the list becomes invalid when a window is closed. Using it anyway may crash Vim. perl-DoCommand VIM::DoCommand({cmd}) Executes Ex command {cmd}. perl-Eval VIM::Eval({expr}) Evaluates {expr} and returns (success, value) in list context or just value in scalar context. success=1 indicates that val contains the value of {expr}; success=0 indicates a failure to evaluate the expression. '@x' returns the contents of register x, '&x' returns the value of option x, 'x' returns the value of internal \|variables\| x, and '$x' is equivalent to perl's $ENV{x}. All \|functions\| accessible from the command-line are valid for {expr}. A \|List\| is turned into a string by joining the items and inserting line breaks. perl-Blob VIM::Blob({expr}) Return \|Blob\| literal string 0zXXXX from scalar value. perl-SetHeight Window->SetHeight({height}) Sets the Window height to {height}, within screen limits. perl-GetCursor Window->Cursor({row}?, {col}?) With no arguments, returns a (row, col) array for the current cursor position in the Window. With {row} and {col} arguments, sets the Window's cursor position to {row} and {col}. Note that {col} is numbered from 0, Perl-fashion, and thus is one less than the value in Vim's ruler. Window->Buffer() perl-Buffer Returns the Buffer object corresponding to the given Window. perl-Name Buffer->Name() Returns the filename for the Buffer. perl-Number Buffer->Number() Returns the number of the Buffer. perl-Count Buffer->Count() Returns the number of lines in the Buffer. perl-Get Buffer->Get({lnum}, {lnum}?, ...) Returns a text string of line {lnum} in the Buffer for each {lnum} specified. An array can be passed with a list of {lnum}'s specified. perl-Delete Buffer->Delete({lnum}, {lnum}?) Deletes line {lnum} in the Buffer. With the second {lnum}, deletes the range of lines from the first {lnum} to the second {lnum}. perl-Append Buffer->Append({lnum}, {line}, {line}?, ...) Appends each {line} string after Buffer line {lnum}. The list of {line}s can be an array. perl-Set Buffer->Set({lnum}, {line}, {line}?, ...) Replaces one or more Buffer lines with specified {lines}s, starting at Buffer line {lnum}. The list of {line}s can be an array. If the arguments are invalid, replacement does not occur. $main::curwin The current window object. $main::curbuf The current buffer object. script-here When using a script language in-line, you might want to skip this when the language isn't supported. But this mechanism doesn't work: > if has('perl') perl << EOF this will NOT work! EOF endif Instead, put the Perl/Python/Ruby/etc. command in a function and call that function: > if has('perl') function DefPerl() perl << EOF this works EOF endfunction call DefPerl() endif Note that "EOF" must be at the start of the line. ============================================================================== 4. Dynamic loading perl-dynamic On MS-Windows and Unix the Perl library can be loaded dynamically. The \|:version\| output then includes \|+perl/dyn\|. This means that Vim will search for the Perl DLL or shared library file only when needed. When you don't use the Perl interface you don't need it, thus you can use Vim without this file. MS-Windows ~ You can download Perl from http://www.perl.org. The one from ActiveState was used for building Vim. To use the Perl interface the Perl DLL must be in your search path. If Vim reports it cannot find the perl512.dll, make sure your $PATH includes the directory where it is located. The Perl installer normally does that. In a console window type "path" to see what directories are used. The 'perldll' option can be also used to specify the Perl DLL. The name of the DLL must match the Perl version Vim was compiled with. Currently the name is "perl512.dll". That is for Perl 5.12. To know for sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "perl\d*.dll\c". Unix ~ The 'perldll' option can be used to specify the Perl shared library file instead of DYNAMIC_PERL_DLL file what was specified at compile time. The version of the shared library must match the Perl version Vim was compiled with. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	11.02 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 if_pyth.txt if_pyth.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Dec 07 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Paul Moore The Python Interface to Vim python Python 1. Commands \|python-commands\| 2.

Tab page objects \|python-tabpage\| 7. vim.bindeval objects \|python-bindeval-objects\| 8. pyeval(), py3eval() Vim functions \|python-pyeval\| 9. Dynamic loading \|python-dynamic\| 10. Python 3 \|python3\| 11. Python X \|python_x\| 12. Building with Python support \|python-building\| The Python 2.x interface is available only when Vim was compiled with the \|+python\| feature. The Python 3 interface is available only when Vim was compiled with the \|+python3\| feature. Both can be available at the same time, but read \|python-2-and-3\|. ============================================================================== 1. Commands python-commands :python :py E263 E264 E887 :[range]py[thon] {stmt} Execute Python statement {stmt}. A simple check if the `:python` command is working: > :python print "Hello" :[range]py[thon] << [trim] [{endmarker}] {script} {endmarker} Execute Python script {script}. Note: This command doesn't work when the Python feature wasn't compiled in. To avoid errors, see \|script-here\|. If [endmarker] is omitted from after the "<<", a dot '.' must be used after {script}, like for the \|:append\| and \|:insert\| commands. Refer to \|:let-heredoc\| for more information. This form of the \|:python\| command is mainly useful for including python code in Vim scripts. Example: > function! IcecreamInitialize() python << EOF class StrawberryIcecream: def __call__(self): print 'EAT ME' EOF endfunction To see what version of Python you have: > :python print(sys.version) There is no need to import sys, it's done by default. Note: Python is very sensitive to the indenting. Make sure the "class" line and "EOF" do not have any indent. :pydo :[range]pydo {body} Execute Python function "def _vim_pydo(line, linenr): {body}" for each line in the [range], with the function arguments being set to the text of each line in turn, without a trailing <EOL>, and the current line number. The function should return a string or None. If a string is returned, it becomes the text of the line in the current turn. The default for [range] is the whole file: "1,$". Examples: > :pydo return "%s\t%d" % (line[::-1], len(line)) :pydo if line: return "%4d: %s" % (linenr, line) < One can use `:pydo` in possible conjunction with `:py` to filter a range using python. For example: > :py3 << EOF needle = vim.eval('@a') replacement = vim.eval('@b') def py_vim_string_replace(str): return str.replace(needle, replacement) EOF :'<,'>py3do return py_vim_string_replace(line) < :pyfile :pyf :[range]pyf[ile] {file} Execute the Python script in {file}. The whole argument is used as a single file name. Both of these commands do essentially the same thing - they execute a piece of Python code, with the "current range" \|python-range\| set to the given line range. In the case of :python, the code to execute is in the command-line. In the case of :pyfile, the code to execute is the contents of the given file. Python commands cannot be used in the \|sandbox\|. To pass arguments you need to set sys.argv[] explicitly. Example: > :python sys.argv = ["foo", "bar"] :pyfile myscript.py Here are some examples python-examples > :python from vim import * :python from string import upper :python current.line = upper(current.line) :python print "Hello" :python str = current.buffer[42] (Note that changes - like the imports - persist from one command to the next, just like in the Python interpreter.) ============================================================================== 2. The vim module python-vim Python code gets all of its access to vim (with one exception - see \|python-output\| below) via the "vim" module. The vim module implements two methods, three constants, and one error object. You need to import the vim module before using it: > :python import vim Overview > :py print "Hello" # displays a message :py vim.command(cmd) # execute an Ex command :py w = vim.windows[n] # gets window "n" :py cw = vim.current.window # gets the current window :py b = vim.buffers[n] # gets buffer "n" :py cb = vim.current.buffer # gets the current buffer :py w.height = lines # sets the window height :py w.cursor = (row, col) # sets the window cursor position :py pos = w.cursor # gets a tuple (row, col) :py name = b.name # gets the buffer file name :py line = b[n] # gets a line from the buffer :py lines = b[n:m] # gets a list of lines :py num = len(b) # gets the number of lines :py b[n] = str # sets a line in the buffer :py b[n:m] = [str1, str2, str3] # sets a number of lines at once :py del b[n] # deletes a line :py del b[n:m] # deletes a number of lines Methods of the "vim" module vim.command(str) python-command Executes the vim (ex-mode) command str. Returns None. Examples: > :py vim.command("set tw=72") :py vim.command("%s/aaa/bbb/g") < The following definition executes Normal mode commands: > def normal(str): vim.command("normal "+str) # Note the use of single quotes to delimit a string containing # double quotes normal('"a2dd"aP') < E659 The ":python" command cannot be used recursively with Python 2.2 and older. This only works with Python 2.3 and later: > :py vim.command("python print 'Hello again Python'") vim.eval(str) python-eval Evaluates the expression str using the vim internal expression evaluator (see \|expression\|). Returns the expression result as: - a string if the Vim expression evaluates to a string or number - a list if the Vim expression evaluates to a Vim list - a dictionary if the Vim expression evaluates to a Vim dictionary Dictionaries and lists are recursively expanded. Examples: > :" value of the 'textwidth' option :py text_width = vim.eval("&tw") : :" contents of the 'a' register :py a_reg = vim.eval("@a") : :" Result is a string! Use string.atoi() to convert to a number. :py str = vim.eval("12+12") : :py tagList = vim.eval('taglist("eval_expr")') < The latter will return a python list of python dicts, for instance: [{'cmd': '/^eval_expr(arg, nextcmd)$/', 'static': 0, 'name': ~ 'eval_expr', 'kind': 'f', 'filename': './src/eval.c'}] ~ vim.bindeval(str) python-bindeval Like \|python-eval\|, but returns special objects described in \|python-bindeval-objects\|. These python objects let you modify (\|List\| or \|Dictionary\|) or call (\|Funcref\|) vim objects. vim.strwidth(str) python-strwidth Like \|strwidth()\|: returns number of display cells str occupies, tab is counted as one cell. vim.foreach_rtp(callable) python-foreach_rtp Call the given callable for each path in 'runtimepath' until either callable returns something but None, the exception is raised or there are no longer paths. If stopped in case callable returned non-None, vim.foreach_rtp function returns the value returned by callable. vim.chdir(args, kwargs) python-chdir* vim.fchdir(args, kwargs) python-fchdir* Run os.chdir or os.fchdir, then all appropriate vim stuff. Note: you should not use these functions directly, use os.chdir and os.fchdir instead. Behavior of vim.fchdir is undefined in case os.fchdir does not exist. Error object of the "vim" module vim.error python-error Upon encountering a Vim error, Python raises an exception of type vim.error. Example: > try: vim.command("put a") except vim.error: # nothing in register a Constants of the "vim" module Note that these are not actually constants - you could reassign them. But this is silly, as you would then lose access to the vim objects to which the variables referred. vim.buffers python-buffers A mapping object providing access to the list of vim buffers. The object supports the following operations: > :py b = vim.buffers[i] # Indexing (read-only) :py b in vim.buffers # Membership test :py n = len(vim.buffers) # Number of elements :py for b in vim.buffers: # Iterating over buffer list < vim.windows python-windows A sequence object providing access to the list of vim windows. The object supports the following operations: > :py w = vim.windows[i] # Indexing (read-only) :py w in vim.windows # Membership test :py n = len(vim.windows) # Number of elements :py for w in vim.windows: # Sequential access < Note: vim.windows object always accesses current tab page. \|python-tabpage\|.windows objects are bound to parent \|python-tabpage\| object and always use windows from that tab page (or throw vim.error in case tab page was deleted). You can keep a reference to both without keeping a reference to vim module object or \|python-tabpage\|, they will not lose their properties in this case. vim.tabpages python-tabpages A sequence object providing access to the list of vim tab pages. The object supports the following operations: > :py t = vim.tabpages[i] # Indexing (read-only) :py t in vim.tabpages # Membership test :py n = len(vim.tabpages) # Number of elements :py for t in vim.tabpages: # Sequential access < vim.current python-current An object providing access (via specific attributes) to various "current" objects available in vim: vim.current.line The current line (RW) String vim.current.buffer The current buffer (RW) Buffer vim.current.window The current window (RW) Window vim.current.tabpage The current tab page (RW) TabPage vim.current.range The current line range (RO) Range The last case deserves a little explanation. When the :python or :pyfile command specifies a range, this range of lines becomes the "current range". A range is a bit like a buffer, but with all access restricted to a subset of lines. See \|python-range\| for more details. Note: When assigning to vim.current.{buffer,window,tabpage} it expects valid \|python-buffer\|, \|python-window\| or \|python-tabpage\| objects respectively. Assigning triggers normal (with \|autocommand\|s) switching to given buffer, window or tab page. It is the only way to switch UI objects in python: you can't assign to \|python-tabpage\|.window attribute. To switch without triggering autocommands use > py << EOF saved_eventignore = vim.options['eventignore'] vim.options['eventignore'] = 'all' try: vim.current.buffer = vim.buffers[2] # Switch to buffer 2 finally: vim.options['eventignore'] = saved_eventignore EOF < vim.vars python-vars vim.vvars python-vvars Dictionary-like objects holding dictionaries with global (\|g:\|) and vim (\|v:\|) variables respectively. Identical to `vim.bindeval("g:")`, but faster. vim.options python-options Object partly supporting mapping protocol (supports setting and getting items) providing a read-write access to global options. Note: unlike \|:set\| this provides access only to global options. You cannot use this object to obtain or set local options' values or access local-only options in any fashion. Raises KeyError if no global option with such name exists (i.e. does not raise KeyError for \|global-local\| options and global only options, but does for window- and buffer-local ones). Use \|python-buffer\| objects to access to buffer-local options and \|python-window\| objects to access to window-local options. Type of this object is available via "Options" attribute of vim module. Output from Python python-output Vim displays all Python code output in the Vim message area. Normal output appears as information messages, and error output appears as error messages. In implementation terms, this means that all output to sys.stdout (including the output from print statements) appears as information messages, and all output to sys.stderr (including error tracebacks) appears as error messages. python-input Input (via sys.stdin, including input() and raw_input()) is not supported, and may cause the program to crash. This should probably be fixed. python2-directory python3-directory pythonx-directory Python 'runtimepath' handling python-special-path In python vim.VIM_SPECIAL_PATH special directory is used as a replacement for the list of paths found in 'runtimepath': with this directory in sys.path and vim.path_hooks in sys.path_hooks python will try to load module from {rtp}/python2 (or python3) and {rtp}/pythonx (for both python versions) for each {rtp} found in 'runtimepath'. Implementation is similar to the following, but written in C: > from imp import find_module, load_module import vim import sys class VimModuleLoader(object): def __init__(self, module): self.module = module def load_module(self, fullname, path=None): return self.module def _find_module(fullname, oldtail, path): idx = oldtail.find('.') if idx > 0: name = oldtail[:idx] tail = oldtail[idx+1:] fmr = find_module(name, path) module = load_module(fullname[:-len(oldtail)] + name, fmr) return _find_module(fullname, tail, module.__path__) else: fmr = find_module(fullname, path) return load_module(fullname, fmr) # It uses vim module itself in place of VimPathFinder class: it does not # matter for python which object has find_module function attached to as # an attribute. class VimPathFinder(object): @classmethod def find_module(cls, fullname, path=None): try: return VimModuleLoader(_find_module(fullname, fullname, path or vim._get_paths())) except ImportError: return None @classmethod def load_module(cls, fullname, path=None): return _find_module(fullname, fullname, path or vim._get_paths()) def hook(path): if path == vim.VIM_SPECIAL_PATH: return VimPathFinder else: raise ImportError sys.path_hooks.append(hook) vim.VIM_SPECIAL_PATH python-VIM_SPECIAL_PATH String constant used in conjunction with vim path hook. If path hook installed by vim is requested to handle anything but path equal to vim.VIM_SPECIAL_PATH constant it raises ImportError. In the only other case it uses special loader. Note: you must not use value of this constant directly, always use vim.VIM_SPECIAL_PATH object. vim.find_module(...) python-find_module vim.path_hook(path) python-path_hook Methods or objects used to implement path loading as described above. You should not be using any of these directly except for vim.path_hook in case you need to do something with sys.meta_path. It is not guaranteed that any of the objects will exist in the future vim versions. vim._get_paths python-_get_paths Methods returning a list of paths which will be searched for by path hook. You should not rely on this method being present in future versions, but can use it for debugging. It returns a list of {rtp}/python2 (or {rtp}/python3) and {rtp}/pythonx directories for each {rtp} in 'runtimepath'. ============================================================================== 3. Buffer objects python-buffer Buffer objects represent vim buffers. You can obtain them in a number of ways: - via vim.current.buffer (\|python-current\|) - from indexing vim.buffers (\|python-buffers\|) - from the "buffer" attribute of a window (\|python-window\|) Buffer objects have two read-only attributes - name - the full file name for the buffer, and number - the buffer number. They also have three methods (append, mark, and range; see below). You can also treat buffer objects as sequence objects. In this context, they act as if they were lists (yes, they are mutable) of strings, with each element being a line of the buffer. All of the usual sequence operations, including indexing, index assignment, slicing and slice assignment, work as you would expect. Note that the result of indexing (slicing) a buffer is a string (list of strings). This has one unusual consequence - b[:] is different from b. In particular, "b[:] = None" deletes the whole of the buffer, whereas "b = None" merely updates the variable b, with no effect on the buffer. Buffer indexes start at zero, as is normal in Python. This differs from vim line numbers, which start from 1. This is particularly relevant when dealing with marks (see below) which use vim line numbers. The buffer object attributes are: b.vars Dictionary-like object used to access \|buffer-variable\|s. b.options Mapping object (supports item getting, setting and deleting) that provides access to buffer-local options and buffer-local values of \|global-local\| options. Use \|python-window\|.options if option is window-local, this object will raise KeyError. If option is \|global-local\| and local value is missing getting it will return None. b.name String, RW. Contains buffer name (full path). Note: when assigning to b.name \|BufFilePre\| and \|BufFilePost\| autocommands are launched. b.number Buffer number. Can be used as \|python-buffers\| key. Read-only. b.valid True or False. Buffer object becomes invalid when corresponding buffer is wiped out. The buffer object methods are: b.append(str) Append a line to the buffer b.append(str, nr) Idem, below line "nr" b.append(list) Append a list of lines to the buffer Note that the option of supplying a list of strings to the append method differs from the equivalent method for Python's built-in list objects. b.append(list, nr) Idem, below line "nr" b.mark(name) Return a tuple (row,col) representing the position of the named mark (can also get the []"<> marks) b.range(s,e) Return a range object (see \|python-range\|) which represents the part of the given buffer between line numbers s and e \|inclusive\|. Note that when adding a line it must not contain a line break character '\n'. A trailing '\n' is allowed and ignored, so that you can do: > :py b.append(f.readlines()) Buffer object type is available using "Buffer" attribute of vim module. Examples (assume b is the current buffer) > :py print b.name # write the buffer file name :py b[0] = "hello!!!" # replace the top line :py b[:] = None # delete the whole buffer :py del b[:] # delete the whole buffer :py b[0:0] = [ "a line" ] # add a line at the top :py del b[2] # delete a line (the third) :py b.append("bottom") # add a line at the bottom :py n = len(b) # number of lines :py (row,col) = b.mark('a') # named mark :py r = b.range(1,5) # a sub-range of the buffer :py b.vars["foo"] = "bar" # assign b:foo variable :py b.options["ff"] = "dos" # set fileformat :py del b.options["ar"] # same as :set autoread< ============================================================================== 4. Range objects python-range Range objects represent a part of a vim buffer. You can obtain them in a number of ways: - via vim.current.range (\|python-current\|) - from a buffer's range() method (\|python-buffer\|) A range object is almost identical in operation to a buffer object. However, all operations are restricted to the lines within the range (this line range can, of course, change as a result of slice assignments, line deletions, or the range.append() method). The range object attributes are: r.start Index of first line into the buffer r.end Index of last line into the buffer The range object methods are: r.append(str) Append a line to the range r.append(str, nr) Idem, after line "nr" r.append(list) Append a list of lines to the range Note that the option of supplying a list of strings to the append method differs from the equivalent method for Python's built-in list objects. r.append(list, nr) Idem, after line "nr" Range object type is available using "Range" attribute of vim module. Example (assume r is the current range): # Send all lines in a range to the default printer vim.command("%d,%dhardcopy!" % (r.start+1,r.end+1)) ============================================================================== 5. Window objects python-window Window objects represent vim windows. You can obtain them in a number of ways: - via vim.current.window (\|python-current\|) - from indexing vim.windows (\|python-windows\|) - from indexing "windows" attribute of a tab page (\|python-tabpage\|) - from the "window" attribute of a tab page (\|python-tabpage\|) You can manipulate window objects only through their attributes. They have no methods, and no sequence or other interface. Window attributes are: buffer (read-only) The buffer displayed in this window cursor (read-write) The current cursor position in the window This is a tuple, (row,col). height (read-write) The window height, in rows width (read-write) The window width, in columns vars (read-only) The window \|w:\| variables. Attribute is unassignable, but you can change window variables this way options (read-only) The window-local options. Attribute is unassignable, but you can change window options this way. Provides access only to window-local options, for buffer-local use \|python-buffer\| and for global ones use \|python-options\|. If option is \|global-local\| and local value is missing getting it will return None. number (read-only) Window number. The first window has number 1. This is zero in case it cannot be determined (e.g. when the window object belongs to other tab page). row, col (read-only) On-screen window position in display cells. First position is zero. tabpage (read-only) Window tab page. valid (read-write) True or False. Window object becomes invalid when corresponding window is closed. The height attribute is writable only if the screen is split horizontally. The width attribute is writable only if the screen is split vertically. Window object type is available using "Window" attribute of vim module. ============================================================================== 6. Tab page objects python-tabpage Tab page objects represent vim tab pages. You can obtain them in a number of ways: - via vim.current.tabpage (\|python-current\|) - from indexing vim.tabpages (\|python-tabpages\|) You can use this object to access tab page windows. They have no methods and no sequence or other interfaces. Tab page attributes are: number The tab page number like the one returned by \|tabpagenr()\|. windows Like \|python-windows\|, but for current tab page. vars The tab page \|t:\| variables. window Current tabpage window. valid True or False. Tab page object becomes invalid when corresponding tab page is closed. TabPage object type is available using "TabPage" attribute of vim module. ============================================================================== 7. vim.bindeval objects python-bindeval-objects vim.Dictionary object python-Dictionary Dictionary-like object providing access to vim \|Dictionary\| type. Attributes: Attribute Description ~ locked One of python-.locked Value Description ~ zero Variable is not locked vim.VAR_LOCKED Variable is locked, but can be unlocked vim.VAR_FIXED Variable is locked and can't be unlocked Read-write. You can unlock locked variable by assigning `True` or `False` to this attribute. No recursive locking is supported. scope One of Value Description ~ zero Dictionary is not a scope one vim.VAR_DEF_SCOPE \|g:\| or \|l:\| dictionary vim.VAR_SCOPE Other scope dictionary, see \|internal-variables\| Methods (note: methods do not support keyword arguments): Method Description ~ keys() Returns a list with dictionary keys. values() Returns a list with dictionary values. items() Returns a list of 2-tuples with dictionary contents. update(iterable), update(dictionary), update(kwargs) Adds keys to dictionary. get(key[, default=None]) Obtain key from dictionary, returning the default if it is not present. pop(key[, default]) Remove specified key from dictionary and return corresponding value. If key is not found and default is given returns the default, otherwise raises KeyError. popitem() Remove random key from dictionary and return (key, value) pair. has_key(key) Check whether dictionary contains specified key, similar to `key in dict`. __new__(), __new__(iterable), __new__(dictionary), __new__(update) You can use `vim.Dictionary()` to create new vim dictionaries. `d=vim.Dictionary(arg)` is the same as `d=vim.bindeval('{}');d.update(arg)`. Without arguments constructs empty dictionary. Examples: > d = vim.Dictionary(food="bar") # Constructor d['a'] = 'b' # Item assignment print d['a'] # getting item d.update({'c': 'd'}) # .update(dictionary) d.update(e='f') # .update(kwargs) d.update((('g', 'h'), ('i', 'j'))) # .update(iterable) for key in d.keys(): # .keys() for val in d.values(): # .values() for key, val in d.items(): # .items() print isinstance(d, vim.Dictionary) # True for key in d: # Iteration over keys class Dict(vim.Dictionary): # Subclassing < Note: when iterating over keys you should not modify dictionary. vim.List object python-List Sequence-like object providing access to vim \|List\| type. Supports `.locked` attribute, see \|python-.locked\|. Also supports the following methods: Method Description ~ extend(item) Add items to the list. __new__(), __new__(iterable) You can use `vim.List()` to create new vim lists. `l=vim.List(iterable)` is the same as `l=vim.bindeval('[]');l.extend(iterable)`. Without arguments constructs empty list. Examples: > l = vim.List("abc") # Constructor, result: ['a', 'b', 'c'] l.extend(['abc', 'def']) # .extend() method print l[1:] # slicing l[:0] = ['ghi', 'jkl'] # slice assignment print l[0] # getting item l[0] = 'mno' # assignment for i in l: # iteration print isinstance(l, vim.List) # True class List(vim.List): # Subclassing vim.Function object python-Function Function-like object, acting like vim \|Funcref\| object. Accepts special keyword argument `self`, see \|Dictionary-function\|. You can also use `vim.Function(name)` constructor, it is the same as `vim.bindeval('function(%s)'%json.dumps(name))`. Attributes (read-only): Attribute Description ~ name Function name. args `None` or a \|python-List\| object with arguments. Note that this is a copy of the arguments list, constructed each time you request this attribute. Modifications made to the list will be ignored (but not to the containers inside argument list: this is like \|copy()\| and not \|deepcopy()\|). self `None` or a \|python-Dictionary\| object with self dictionary. Note that explicit `self` keyword used when calling resulting object overrides this attribute. auto_rebind Boolean. True if partial created from this Python object and stored in the Vim script dictionary should be automatically rebound to the dictionary it is stored in when this dictionary is indexed. Exposes Vim internal difference between `dict.func` (auto_rebind=True) and `function(dict.func,dict)` (auto_rebind=False). This attribute makes no sense if `self` attribute is `None`. Constructor additionally accepts `args`, `self` and `auto_rebind` keywords. If `args` and/or `self` argument is given then it constructs a partial, see \|function()\|. `auto_rebind` is only used when `self` argument is given, otherwise it is assumed to be `True` regardless of whether it was given or not. If `self` is given then it defaults to `False`. Examples: > f = vim.Function('tr') # Constructor print f('abc', 'a', 'b') # Calls tr('abc', 'a', 'b') vim.command(''' function DictFun() dict return self endfunction ''') f = vim.bindeval('function("DictFun")') print f(self={}) # Like call('DictFun', [], {}) print isinstance(f, vim.Function) # True p = vim.Function('DictFun', self={}) print f() p = vim.Function('tr', args=['abc', 'a']) print f('b') ============================================================================== 8. pyeval() and py3eval() Vim functions python-pyeval To facilitate bi-directional interface, you can use \|pyeval()\| and \|py3eval()\| functions to evaluate Python expressions and pass their values to Vim script. \|pyxeval()\| is also available. The Python value "None" is converted to v:none. ============================================================================== 9. Dynamic loading python-dynamic On MS-Windows and Unix the Python library can be loaded dynamically. The \|:version\| output then includes \|+python/dyn\| or \|+python3/dyn\|. This means that Vim will search for the Python DLL or shared library file only when needed. When you don't use the Python interface you don't need it, thus you can use Vim without this file. MS-Windows ~ To use the Python interface the Python DLL must be in your search path. In a console window type "path" to see what directories are used. The 'pythondll' or 'pythonthreedll' option can be also used to specify the Python DLL. The name of the DLL should match the Python version Vim was compiled with. Currently the name for Python 2 is "python27.dll", that is for Python 2.7. That is the default value for 'pythondll'. For Python 3 it is python36.dll (Python 3.6). To know for sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "python\d.dll\c". Unix ~ The 'pythondll' or 'pythonthreedll' option can be used to specify the Python shared library file instead of DYNAMIC_PYTHON_DLL or DYNAMIC_PYTHON3_DLL file what were specified at compile time. The version of the shared library must match the Python 2.x or Python 3 version Vim was compiled with. ============================================================================== 10. Python 3 python3* :py3 :python3 :[range]py3 {stmt} :[range]py3 << [trim] [{endmarker}] {script} {endmarker} :[range]python3 {stmt} :[range]python3 << [trim] [{endmarker}] {script} {endmarker} The `:py3` and `:python3` commands work similar to `:python`. A simple check if the `:py3` command is working: > :py3 print("Hello") < To see what version of Python you have: > :py3 import sys :py3 print(sys.version) < :py3file :[range]py3f[ile] {file} The `:py3file` command works similar to `:pyfile`. :py3do :[range]py3do {body} The `:py3do` command works similar to `:pydo`. Vim can be built in four ways (:version output): 1. No Python support (-python, -python3) 2. Python 2 support only (+python or +python/dyn, -python3) 3. Python 3 support only (-python, +python3 or +python3/dyn) 4. Python 2 and 3 support (+python/dyn, +python3/dyn) Some more details on the special case 4: python-2-and-3 When Python 2 and Python 3 are both supported they must be loaded dynamically. When doing this on Linux/Unix systems and importing global symbols, this leads to a crash when the second Python version is used. So either global symbols are loaded but only one Python version is activated, or no global symbols are loaded. The latter makes Python's "import" fail on libraries that expect the symbols to be provided by Vim. E836 E837 Vim's configuration script makes a guess for all libraries based on one standard Python library (termios). If importing this library succeeds for both Python versions, then both will be made available in Vim at the same time. If not, only the version first used in a session will be enabled. When trying to use the other one you will get the E836 or E837 error message. Here Vim's behavior depends on the system in which it was configured. In a system where both versions of Python were configured with --enable-shared, both versions of Python will be activated at the same time. There will still be problems with other third party libraries that were not linked to libPython. To work around such problems there are these options: 1. The problematic library is recompiled to link to the according libpython.so. 2. Vim is recompiled for only one Python version. 3. You undefine PY_NO_RTLD_GLOBAL in auto/config.h after configuration. This may crash Vim though. E880 Raising SystemExit exception in python isn't endorsed way to quit vim, use: > :py vim.command("qall!") < has-python You can test what Python version is available with: > if has('python') echo 'there is Python 2.x' endif if has('python3') echo 'there is Python 3.x' endif Note however, that when Python 2 and 3 are both available and loaded dynamically, these has() calls will try to load them. If only one can be loaded at a time, just checking if Python 2 or 3 are available will prevent the other one from being available. To avoid loading the dynamic library, only check if Vim was compiled with python support: > if has('python_compiled') echo 'compiled with Python 2.x support' if has('python_dynamic') echo 'Python 2.x dynamically loaded' endif endif if has('python3_compiled') echo 'compiled with Python 3.x support' if has('python3_dynamic') echo 'Python 3.x dynamically loaded' endif endif This also tells you whether Python is dynamically loaded, which will fail if the runtime library cannot be found. ============================================================================== 11. Python X python_x pythonx Because most python code can be written so that it works with python 2.6+ and python 3 the pyx* functions and commands have been written. They work exactly the same as the Python 2 and 3 variants, but select the Python version using the 'pyxversion' setting. You should set 'pyxversion' in your \|.vimrc\| to prefer Python 2 or Python 3 for Python commands. If you change this setting at runtime you may risk that state of plugins (such as initialization) may be lost. If you want to use a module, you can put it in the {rtp}/pythonx directory. See \|pythonx-directory\|. :pyx :pythonx The `:pyx` and `:pythonx` commands work similar to `:python`. A simple check if the `:pyx` command is working: > :pyx print("Hello") To see what version of Python is being used: > :pyx import sys :pyx print(sys.version) < :pyxfile python_x-special-comments The `:pyxfile` command works similar to `:pyfile`. However you can add one of these comments to force Vim using `:pyfile` or `:py3file`: > #!/any string/python2 " Shebang. Must be the first line of the file. #!/any string/python3 " Shebang. Must be the first line of the file. # requires python 2.x " Maximum lines depend on 'modelines'. # requires python 3.x " Maximum lines depend on 'modelines'. Unlike normal modelines, the bottom of the file is not checked. If none of them are found, the 'pyxversion' setting is used. W20 W21 If Vim does not support the selected Python version a silent message will be printed. Use `:messages` to read them. :pyxdo The `:pyxdo` command works similar to `:pydo`. has-pythonx You can test if pyx* commands are available with: > if has('pythonx') echo 'pyx* commands are available. (Python ' . &pyx . ')' endif When compiled with only one of \|+python\| or \|+python3\|, the has() returns 1. When compiled with both \|+python\| and \|+python3\|, the test depends on the 'pyxversion' setting. If 'pyxversion' is 0, it tests Python 3 first, and if it is not available then Python 2. If 'pyxversion' is 2 or 3, it tests only Python 2 or 3 respectively. Note that for `has('pythonx')` to work it may try to dynamically load Python 3 or 2. This may have side effects, especially when Vim can only load one of the two. If a user prefers Python 2 and want to fallback to Python 3, he needs to set 'pyxversion' explicitly in his \|.vimrc\|. E.g.: > if has('python') set pyx=2 elseif has('python3') set pyx=3 endif ============================================================================== 12. Building with Python support python-building A few hints for building with Python 2 or 3 support. UNIX See src/Makefile for how to enable including the Python interface. On Ubuntu you will want to install these packages for Python 2: python python-dev For Python 3: python3 python3-dev For Python 3.6: python3.6 python3.6-dev If you have more than one version of Python 3, you need to link python3 to the one you prefer, before running configure. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	37.53 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Commands ruby-commands :ruby :rub :rub[y] {cmd} Execute Ruby command {cmd}. A command to try it out: > :ruby print "Hello" :rub[y] << [trim] [{endmarker}] {script} {endmarker} Execute Ruby script {script}. If [endmarker] is omitted, it defaults to a dot '.' like for the \|:append\| and \|:insert\| commands. Refer to \|:let-heredoc\| for more information. This form of the \|:ruby\| command is mainly useful for including ruby code in vim scripts. Note: This command doesn't work when the Ruby feature wasn't compiled in. To avoid errors, see \|script-here\|. Example Vim script: > function!

Note that this means that no spaces are allowed in the argument! See \|:set\|. ruby-command Vim::command({cmd}) Executes Ex command {cmd}. ruby-evaluate Vim::evaluate({expr}) Evaluates {expr} using the vim internal expression evaluator (see \|expression\|). Returns the expression result as: - a Integer if the Vim expression evaluates to a number - a Float if the Vim expression evaluates to a float - a String if the Vim expression evaluates to a string - a Array if the Vim expression evaluates to a Vim list - a Hash if the Vim expression evaluates to a Vim dictionary Dictionaries and lists are recursively expanded. ============================================================================== 3. Vim::Buffer objects ruby-buffer Vim::Buffer objects represent vim buffers. Class Methods: current Returns the current buffer object. count Returns the number of buffers. self[{n}] Returns the buffer object for the number {n}. The first number is 0. Methods: name Returns the full name of the buffer. number Returns the number of the buffer. count Returns the number of lines. length Returns the number of lines. self[{n}] Returns a line from the buffer. {n} is the line number. self[{n}] = {str} Sets a line in the buffer. {n} is the line number. delete({n}) Deletes a line from the buffer. {n} is the line number. append({n}, {str}) Appends a line after the line {n}. line Returns the current line of the buffer if the buffer is active. line = {str} Sets the current line of the buffer if the buffer is active. line_number Returns the number of the current line if the buffer is active. ============================================================================== 4. Vim::Window objects ruby-window Vim::Window objects represent vim windows. Class Methods: current Returns the current window object. count Returns the number of windows. self[{n}] Returns the window object for the number {n}. The first number is 0. Methods: buffer Returns the buffer displayed in the window. height Returns the height of the window. height = {n} Sets the window height to {n}. width Returns the width of the window. width = {n} Sets the window width to {n}. cursor Returns a [row, col] array for the cursor position. First line number is 1 and first column number is 0. cursor = [{row}, {col}] Sets the cursor position to {row} and {col}. ============================================================================== 5. Global variables ruby-globals There are two global variables. $curwin The current window object. $curbuf The current buffer object. ============================================================================== 6. rubyeval() Vim function ruby-rubyeval To facilitate bi-directional interface, you can use \|rubyeval()\| function to evaluate Ruby expressions and pass their values to Vim script. The Ruby value "true", "false" and "nil" are converted to v:true, v:false and v:null, respectively. ============================================================================== 7. Dynamic loading ruby-dynamic On MS-Windows and Unix the Ruby library can be loaded dynamically. The \|:version\| output then includes \|+ruby/dyn\|. This means that Vim will search for the Ruby DLL file or shared library only when needed. When you don't use the Ruby interface you don't need it, thus you can use Vim even though this library file is not on your system. MS-Windows ~ You need to install the right version of Ruby for this to work. You can find the package to download from: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/ Currently that is rubyinstaller-2.2.5.exe To use the Ruby interface the Ruby DLL must be in your search path. In a console window type "path" to see what directories are used. The 'rubydll' option can be also used to specify the Ruby DLL. The name of the DLL must match the Ruby version Vim was compiled with. Currently the name is "msvcrt-ruby220.dll". That is for Ruby 2.2.X. To know for sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "ruby\d*.dll\c". If you want to build Vim with RubyInstaller 1.9 or 2.X using MSVC, you need some tricks. See the src/INSTALLpc.txt for detail. If Vim is built with RubyInstaller 2.4 or later, you may also need to add "C:\Ruby<version>\bin\ruby_builtin_dlls" to the PATH environment variable. Unix ~ The 'rubydll' option can be used to specify the Ruby shared library file instead of DYNAMIC_RUBY_DLL file what was specified at compile time. The version of the shared library must match the Ruby version Vim was compiled with. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	8.32 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Tcl commands tcl-commands Tcl code gets all of its access to vim via commands in the "::vim" namespace. The following commands are implemented: > ::vim::beep # Guess. ::vim::buffer {n} # Create Tcl command for one buffer. ::vim::buffer list # Create Tcl commands for all buffers. ::vim::command [-quiet] {cmd} # Execute an Ex command. ::vim::expr {expr} # Use Vim's expression evaluator. ::vim::option {opt} # Get vim option. ::vim::option {opt} {val} # Set vim option. ::vim::window list # Create Tcl commands for all windows. Commands: ::vim::beep tcl-beep Honk. Does not return a result. ::vim::buffer {n} tcl-buffer ::vim::buffer exists {n} ::vim::buffer list Provides access to vim buffers. With an integer argument, creates a buffer command (see \|tcl-buffer-cmds\|) for the buffer with that number, and returns its name as the result. Invalid buffer numbers result in a standard Tcl error. To test for valid buffer numbers, vim's internal functions can be used: > set nbufs [::vim::expr bufnr("$")] set isvalid [::vim::expr "bufexists($n)"] < The "list" option creates a buffer command for each valid buffer, and returns a list of the command names as the result. Example: > set bufs [::vim::buffer list] foreach b $bufs { $b append end "The End!" } < The "exists" option checks if a buffer with the given number exists. Example: > if { [::vim::buffer exists $n] } { ::vim::command ":e #$n" } < This command might be replaced by a variable in future versions. See also \|tcl-var-current\| for the current buffer. ::vim::command {cmd} tcl-command ::vim::command -quiet {cmd} Execute the vim (ex-mode) command {cmd}. Any Ex command that affects a buffer or window uses the current buffer/current window. Does not return a result other than a standard Tcl error code. After this command is completed, the "::vim::current" variable is updated. The "-quiet" flag suppresses any error messages from vim. Examples: > ::vim::command "set ts=8" ::vim::command "%s/foo/bar/g" < To execute normal-mode commands, use "normal" (see \|:normal\|): > set cmd "jj" ::vim::command "normal $cmd" < See also \|tcl-window-command\| and \|tcl-buffer-command\|. ::vim::expr {expr} tcl-expr Evaluates the expression {expr} using vim's internal expression evaluator (see \|expression\|). Any expression that queries a buffer or window property uses the current buffer/current window. Returns the result as a string. A \|List\| is turned into a string by joining the items and inserting line breaks. Examples: > set perl_available [::vim::expr has("perl")] < See also \|tcl-window-expr\| and \|tcl-buffer-expr\|. ::vim::option {opt} tcl-option ::vim::option {opt} {value} Without second argument, queries the value of a vim option. With this argument, sets the vim option to {value}, and returns the previous value as the result. Any options that are marked as 'local to buffer' or 'local to window' affect the current buffer/current window. The global value is not changed, use the ":set" command for that. For boolean options, {value} should be "0" or "1", or any of the keywords "on", "off" or "toggle". See \|option-summary\| for a list of options. Example: > ::vim::option ts 8 < See also \|tcl-window-option\| and \|tcl-buffer-option\|. ::vim::window {option} tcl-window Provides access to vim windows. Currently only the "list" option is implemented. This creates a window command (see \|tcl-window-cmds\|) for each window, and returns a list of the command names as the result. Example: > set wins [::vim::window list] foreach w $wins { $w height 4 } < This command might be replaced by a variable in future versions. See also \|tcl-var-current\| for the current window. ============================================================================== 3. Tcl variables tcl-variables The ::vim namespace contains a few variables. These are created when the Tcl interpreter is called from vim and set to current values. > ::vim::current # array containing "current" objects ::vim::lbase # number of first line ::vim::range # array containing current range numbers line # current line as a string (:tcldo only) lnum # current line number (:tcldo only) Variables: ::vim::current tcl-var-current This is an array providing access to various "current" objects available in vim. The contents of this array are updated after "::vim::command" is called, as this might change vim's current settings (e.g., by deleting the current buffer). The "buffer" element contains the name of the buffer command for the current buffer. This can be used directly to invoke buffer commands (see \|tcl-buffer-cmds\|). This element is read-only. Example: > $::vim::current(buffer) insert begin "Hello world" < The "window" element contains the name of the window command for the current window. This can be used directly to invoke window commands (see \|tcl-window-cmds\|). This element is read-only. Example: > $::vim::current(window) height 10 < ::vim::lbase tcl-var-lbase This variable controls how Tcl treats line numbers. If it is set to '1', then lines and columns start at 1. This way, line numbers from Tcl commands and vim expressions are compatible. If this variable is set to '0', then line numbers and columns start at 0 in Tcl. This is useful if you want to treat a buffer as a Tcl list or a line as a Tcl string and use standard Tcl commands that return an index ("lsort" or "string first", for example). The default value is '1'. Currently, any non-zero values is treated as '1', but your scripts should not rely on this. See also \|tcl-linenumbers\|. ::vim::range tcl-var-range This is an array with three elements, "start", "begin" and "end". It contains the line numbers of the start and end row of the current range. "begin" is the same as "start". This variable is read-only. See \|tcl-examples\|. line tcl-var-line lnum tcl-var-lnum These global variables are only available if the ":tcldo" Ex command is being executed. They contain the text and line number of the current line. When the Tcl command invoked by ":tcldo" is completed, the current line is set to the contents of the "line" variable, unless the variable was unset by the Tcl command. The "lnum" variable is read-only. These variables are not in the "::vim" namespace so they can be used in ":tcldo" without much typing (this might be changed in future versions). See also \|tcl-linenumbers\|. ============================================================================== 4. Tcl window commands tcl-window-cmds Window commands represent vim windows. They are created by several commands: ::vim::window list \|tcl-window\| "windows" option of a buffer command \|tcl-buffer-windows\| The ::vim::current(window) variable contains the name of the window command for the current window. A window command is automatically deleted when the corresponding vim window is closed. Let's assume the name of the window command is stored in the Tcl variable "win", i.e. "$win" calls the command. The following options are available: > $win buffer # Create Tcl command for window's buffer. $win command {cmd} # Execute Ex command in windows context. $win cursor # Get current cursor position. $win cursor {var} # Set cursor position from array variable. $win cursor {row} {col} # Set cursor position. $win delcmd {cmd} # Call Tcl command when window is closed. $win expr {expr} # Evaluate vim expression in windows context. $win height # Report the window's height. $win height {n} # Set the window's height. $win option {opt} [val] # Get/Set vim option in windows context. Options: $win buffer tcl-window-buffer Creates a Tcl command for the window's buffer, and returns its name as the result. The name should be stored in a variable: > set buf [$win buffer] < $buf is now a valid Tcl command. See \|tcl-buffer-cmds\| for the available options. $win cursor tcl-window-cursor $win cursor {var} $win cursor {row} {col} Without argument, reports the current cursor position as a string. This can be converted to a Tcl array variable: > array set here [$win cursor] < "here(row)" and "here(column)" now contain the cursor position. With a single argument, the argument is interpreted as the name of a Tcl array variable, which must contain two elements "row" and "column". These are used to set the cursor to the new position: > $win cursor here ;# not $here ! < With two arguments, sets the cursor to the specified row and column: > $win cursor $here(row) $here(column) < Invalid positions result in a standard Tcl error, which can be caught with "catch". The row and column values depend on the "::vim::lbase" variable. See \|tcl-var-lbase\|. $win delcmd {cmd} tcl-window-delcmd Registers the Tcl command {cmd} as a deletion callback for the window. This command is executed (in the global scope) just before the window is closed. Complex commands should be built with "list": > $win delcmd [list puts vimerr "window deleted"] < See also \|tcl-buffer-delcmd\|. $win height tcl-window-height $win height {n} Without argument, reports the window's current height. With an argument, tries to set the window's height to {n}, then reports the new height (which might be different from {n}). $win command [-quiet] {cmd} tcl-window-command $win expr {expr} tcl-window-expr $win option {opt} [val] tcl-window-option These are similar to "::vim::command" etc., except that everything is done in the context of the window represented by $win, instead of the current window. For example, setting an option that is marked 'local to window' affects the window $win. Anything that affects or queries a buffer uses the buffer displayed in this window (i.e. the buffer that is represented by "$win buffer"). See \|tcl-command\|, \|tcl-expr\| and \|tcl-option\| for more information. Example: > $win option number on ============================================================================== 5. Tcl buffer commands tcl-buffer-cmds Buffer commands represent vim buffers. They are created by several commands: ::vim::buffer {N} \|tcl-buffer\| ::vim::buffer list \|tcl-buffer\| "buffer" option of a window command \|tcl-window-buffer\| The ::vim::current(buffer) variable contains the name of the buffer command for the current buffer. A buffer command is automatically deleted when the corresponding vim buffer is destroyed. Whenever the buffer's contents are changed, all marks in the buffer are automatically adjusted. Any changes to the buffer's contents made by Tcl commands can be undone with the "undo" vim command (see \|undo\|). Let's assume the name of the buffer command is stored in the Tcl variable "buf", i.e. "$buf" calls the command. The following options are available: > $buf append {n} {str} # Append a line to buffer, after line {n}. $buf command {cmd} # Execute Ex command in buffers context. $buf count # Report number of lines in buffer. $buf delcmd {cmd} # Call Tcl command when buffer is deleted. $buf delete {n} # Delete a single line. $buf delete {n} {m} # Delete several lines. $buf expr {expr} # Evaluate vim expression in buffers context. $buf get {n} # Get a single line as a string. $buf get {n} {m} # Get several lines as a list. $buf insert {n} {str} # Insert a line in buffer, as line {n}. $buf last # Report line number of last line in buffer. $buf mark {mark} # Report position of buffer mark. $buf name # Report name of file in buffer. $buf number # Report number of this buffer. $buf option {opt} [val] # Get/Set vim option in buffers context. $buf set {n} {text} # Replace a single line. $buf set {n} {m} {list} # Replace several lines. $buf windows # Create Tcl commands for buffer's windows. < tcl-linenumbers Most buffer commands take line numbers as arguments. How Tcl treats these numbers depends on the "::vim::lbase" variable (see \|tcl-var-lbase\|). Instead of line numbers, several keywords can be also used: "top", "start", "begin", "first", "bottom", "end" and "last". Options: $buf append {n} {str} tcl-buffer-append $buf insert {n} {str} tcl-buffer-insert Add a line to the buffer. With the "insert" option, the string becomes the new line {n}, with "append" it is inserted after line {n}. Example: > $buf insert top "This is the beginning." $buf append end "This is the end." < To add a list of lines to the buffer, use a loop: > foreach line $list { $buf append $num $line ; incr num } < $buf count tcl-buffer-count Reports the total number of lines in the buffer. $buf delcmd {cmd} tcl-buffer-delcmd Registers the Tcl command {cmd} as a deletion callback for the buffer. This command is executed (in the global scope) just before the buffer is deleted. Complex commands should be built with "list": > $buf delcmd [list puts vimerr "buffer [$buf number] gone"] < See also \|tcl-window-delcmd\|. $buf delete {n} tcl-buffer-delete $buf delete {n} {m} Deletes line {n} or lines {n} through {m} from the buffer. This example deletes everything except the last line: > $buf delete first [expr [$buf last] - 1] < $buf get {n} tcl-buffer-get $buf get {n} {m} Gets one or more lines from the buffer. For a single line, the result is a string; for several lines, a list of strings. Example: > set topline [$buf get top] < $buf last tcl-buffer-last Reports the line number of the last line. This value depends on the "::vim::lbase" variable. See \|tcl-var-lbase\|. $buf mark {mark} tcl-buffer-mark Reports the position of the named mark as a string, similar to the cursor position of the "cursor" option of a window command (see \|tcl-window-cursor\|). This can be converted to a Tcl array variable: > array set mpos [$buf mark "a"] < "mpos(column)" and "mpos(row)" now contain the position of the mark. If the mark is not set, a standard Tcl error results. $buf name Reports the name of the file in the buffer. For a buffer without a file, this is an empty string. $buf number Reports the number of this buffer. See \|:buffers\|. This example deletes a buffer from vim: > ::vim::command "bdelete [$buf number]" < $buf set {n} {string} tcl-buffer-set $buf set {n} {m} {list} Replace one or several lines in the buffer. If the list contains more elements than there are lines to replace, they are inserted into the buffer. If the list contains fewer elements, any unreplaced line is deleted from the buffer. $buf windows tcl-buffer-windows Creates a window command for each window that displays this buffer, and returns a list of the command names as the result. Example: > set winlist [$buf windows] foreach win $winlist { $win height 4 } < See \|tcl-window-cmds\| for the available options. $buf command [-quiet] {cmd} tcl-buffer-command $buf expr {expr} tcl-buffer-expr $buf option {opt} [val] tcl-buffer-option These are similar to "::vim::command" etc., except that everything is done in the context of the buffer represented by $buf, instead of the current buffer. For example, setting an option that is marked 'local to buffer' affects the buffer $buf. Anything that affects or queries a window uses the first window in vim's window list that displays this buffer (i.e. the first entry in the list returned by "$buf windows"). See \|tcl-command\|, \|tcl-expr\| and \|tcl-option\| for more information. Example: > if { [$buf option modified] } { $buf command "w" } ============================================================================== 6. Miscellaneous; Output from Tcl tcl-misc tcl-output The standard Tcl commands "exit" and "catch" are replaced by custom versions. "exit" terminates the current Tcl script and returns to vim, which deletes the Tcl interpreter. Another call to ":tcl" then creates a new Tcl interpreter. "exit" does NOT terminate vim! "catch" works as before, except that it does not prevent script termination from "exit". An exit code != 0 causes the ex command that invoked the Tcl script to return an error. Two new I/O streams are available in Tcl, "vimout" and "vimerr". All output directed to them is displayed in the vim message area, as information messages and error messages, respectively. The standard Tcl output streams stdout and stderr are mapped to vimout and vimerr, so that a normal "puts" command can be used to display messages in vim. ============================================================================== 7. Known bugs & problems tcl-bugs Calling one of the Tcl Ex commands from inside Tcl (via "::vim::command") may have unexpected side effects. The command creates a new interpreter, which has the same abilities as the standard interpreter - making "::vim::command" available in a safe child interpreter therefore makes the child unsafe. (It would be trivial to block nested :tcl* calls or ensure that such calls from a safe interpreter create only new safe interpreters, but quite pointless - depending on vim's configuration, "::vim::command" may execute arbitrary code in any number of other scripting languages.) A call to "exit" within this new interpreter does not affect the old interpreter; it only terminates the new interpreter, then script processing continues normally in the old interpreter. Input from stdin is currently not supported. ============================================================================== 8. Examples: tcl-examples Here are a few small (and maybe useful) Tcl scripts. This script sorts the lines of the entire buffer (assume it contains a list of names or something similar): set buf $::vim::current(buffer) set lines [$buf get top bottom] set lines [lsort -dictionary $lines] $buf set top bottom $lines This script reverses the lines in the buffer. Note the use of "::vim::lbase" and "$buf last" to work with any line number setting. set buf $::vim::current(buffer) set t $::vim::lbase set b [$buf last] while { $t < $b } { set tl [$buf get $t] set bl [$buf get $b] $buf set $t $bl $buf set $b $tl incr t incr b -1 } This script adds a consecutive number to each line in the current range: set buf $::vim::current(buffer) set i $::vim::range(start) set n 1 while { $i <= $::vim::range(end) } { set line [$buf get $i] $buf set $i "$n\t$line" incr i ; incr n } The same can also be done quickly with two Ex commands, using ":tcldo": :tcl set n 1 :[range]tcldo set line "$n\t$line" ; incr n This procedure runs an Ex command on each buffer (idea stolen from Ron Aaron): proc eachbuf { cmd } { foreach b [::vim::buffer list] { $b command $cmd } } Use it like this: :tcl eachbuf %s/foo/bar/g Be careful with Tcl's string and backslash substitution, tough. If in doubt, surround the Ex command with curly braces. If you want to add some Tcl procedures permanently to vim, just place them in a file (e.g. "~/.vimrc.tcl" on Unix machines), and add these lines to your startup file (usually "~/.vimrc" on Unix): if has("tcl") tclfile ~/.vimrc.tcl endif ============================================================================== 9. Dynamic loading tcl-dynamic On MS-Windows and Unix the Tcl library can be loaded dynamically. The \|:version\| output then includes \|+tcl/dyn\|. This means that Vim will search for the Tcl DLL or shared library file only when needed. When you don't use the Tcl interface you don't need it, thus you can use Vim without this file. MS-Windows ~ To use the Tcl interface the Tcl DLL must be in your search path. In a console window type "path" to see what directories are used. The 'tcldll' option can be also used to specify the Tcl DLL. The name of the DLL must match the Tcl version Vim was compiled with. Currently the name is "tcl86.dll". That is for Tcl 8.6. To know for sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "tcl\d*.dll\c". Unix ~ The 'tcldll' option can be used to specify the Tcl shared library file instead of DYNAMIC_TCL_DLL file what was specified at compile time. The version of the shared library must match the Tcl version Vim was compiled with. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	22.41 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 indent.txt indent.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Dec 07 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar This file is about indenting C programs and other files. 1. Indenting C style programs \|C-indenting\| 2. Indenting by expression \|indent-expression\| ============================================================================== 1. Indenting C style programs C-indenting The basics for C style indenting are explained in section \|30.2\| of the user manual. Vim has options for automatically indenting C style program files. Many programming languages including Java and C++ follow very closely the formatting conventions established with C. These options affect only the indent and do not perform other formatting. There are additional options that affect other kinds of formatting as well as indenting, see \|format-comments\|, \|fo-table\|, \|gq\| and \|formatting\| for the main ones. Note that this will not work when the \|+smartindent\| or \|+cindent\| features have been disabled at compile time. There are in fact four main methods available for indentation, each one overrides the previous if it is enabled, or non-empty for 'indentexpr': 'autoindent' uses the indent from the previous line. 'smartindent' is like 'autoindent' but also recognizes some C syntax to increase/reduce the indent where appropriate. 'cindent' Works more cleverly than the other two and is configurable to different indenting styles. 'indentexpr' The most flexible of all: Evaluates an expression to compute the indent of a line. When non-empty this method overrides the other ones. See \|indent-expression\|. The rest of this section describes the 'cindent' option. Note that 'cindent' indenting does not work for every code scenario. Vim is not a C compiler: it does not recognize all syntax. One requirement is that toplevel functions have a '{' in the first column. Otherwise they are easily confused with declarations. These four options control C program indenting: 'cindent' Enables Vim to perform C program indenting automatically. 'cinkeys' Specifies which keys trigger reindenting in insert mode. 'cinoptions' Sets your preferred indent style. 'cinwords' Defines keywords that start an extra indent in the next line. If 'lisp' is not on and 'equalprg' is empty, the "=" operator indents using Vim's built-in algorithm rather than calling an external program. See \|autocommand\| for how to set the 'cindent' option automatically for C code files and reset it for others. cinkeys-format indentkeys-format The 'cinkeys' option is a string that controls Vim's indenting in response to typing certain characters or commands in certain contexts. Note that this not only triggers C-indenting. When 'indentexpr' is not empty 'indentkeys' is used instead. The format of 'cinkeys' and 'indentkeys' is equal. The default is "0{,0},0),0],:,0#,!^F,o,O,e" which specifies that indenting occurs as follows: "0{" if you type '{' as the first character in a line "0}" if you type '}' as the first character in a line "0)" if you type ')' as the first character in a line "0]" if you type ']' as the first character in a line ":" if you type ':' after a label or case statement "0#" if you type '#' as the first character in a line "!^F" if you type CTRL-F (which is not inserted) "o" if you type a <CR> anywhere or use the "o" command (not in insert mode!) "O" if you use the "O" command (not in insert mode!) "e" if you type the second 'e' for an "else" at the start of a line Characters that can precede each key: i_CTRL-F ! When a '!' precedes the key, Vim will not insert the key but will instead reindent the current line. This allows you to define a command key for reindenting the current line. CTRL-F is the default key for this. Be careful if you define CTRL-I for this because CTRL-I is the ASCII code for <Tab>. * When a '' precedes the key, Vim will reindent the line before inserting the key. If 'cinkeys' contains "<Return>", Vim reindents the current line before opening a new line. 0 When a zero precedes the key (but appears after '!' or '') Vim will reindent the line only if the key is the first character you type in the line. When used before "=" Vim will only reindent the line if there is only white space before the word. When neither '!' nor '' precedes the key, Vim reindents the line after you type the key. So ';' sets the indentation of a line which includes the ';'. Special key names: <> Angle brackets mean spelled-out names of keys. For example: "<Up>", "<Ins>" (see \|key-notation\|). ^ Letters preceded by a caret (^) are control characters. For example: "^F" is CTRL-F. o Reindent a line when you use the "o" command or when Vim opens a new line below the current one (e.g., when you type <Enter> in insert mode). O Reindent a line when you use the "O" command. e Reindent a line that starts with "else" when you type the second 'e'. : Reindent a line when a ':' is typed which is after a label or case statement. Don't reindent for a ":" in "class::method" for C++. To Reindent for any ":", use "<:>". =word Reindent when typing the last character of "word". "word" may actually be part of another word. Thus "=end" would cause reindenting when typing the "d" in "endif" or "endwhile". But not when typing "bend". Also reindent when completion produces a word that starts with "word". "0=word" reindents when there is only white space before the word. =~word Like =word, but ignore case. If you really want to reindent when you type 'o', 'O', 'e', '0', '<', '>', '', ':' or '!', use "<o>", "<O>", "<e>", "<0>", "<<>", "<>>", "<>", "<:>" or "<!>", respectively, for those keys. For an emacs-style indent mode where lines aren't indented every time you press <Enter> but only if you press <Tab>, I suggest: :set cinkeys=0{,0},:,0#,!<Tab>,!^F You might also want to switch off 'autoindent' then. Note: If you change the current line's indentation manually, Vim ignores the cindent settings for that line. This prevents vim from reindenting after you have changed the indent by typing <BS>, <Tab>, or <Space> in the indent or used CTRL-T or CTRL-D. cinoptions-values The 'cinoptions' option sets how Vim performs indentation. The value after the option character can be one of these (N is any number): N indent N spaces -N indent N spaces to the left Ns N times 'shiftwidth' spaces -Ns N times 'shiftwidth' spaces to the left In the list below, "N" represents a number of your choice (the number can be negative). When there is an 's' after the number, Vim multiplies the number by 'shiftwidth': "1s" is 'shiftwidth', "2s" is two times 'shiftwidth', etc. You can use a decimal point, too: "-0.5s" is minus half a 'shiftwidth'. The examples below assume a 'shiftwidth' of 4. cino-> >N Amount added for "normal" indent. Used after a line that should increase the indent (lines starting with "if", an opening brace, etc.). (default 'shiftwidth'). cino= cino=>2 cino=>2s > if (cond) if (cond) if (cond) { { { foo; foo; foo; } } } < cino-e eN Add N to the prevailing indent inside a set of braces if the opening brace at the End of the line (more precise: is not the first character in a line). This is useful if you want a different indent when the '{' is at the start of the line from when '{' is at the end of the line. (default 0). cino= cino=e2 cino=e-2 > if (cond) { if (cond) { if (cond) { foo; foo; foo; } } } else else else { { { bar; bar; bar; } } } < cino-n nN Add N to the prevailing indent for a statement after an "if", "while", etc., if it is NOT inside a set of braces. This is useful if you want a different indent when there is no '{' before the statement from when there is a '{' before it. (default 0). cino= cino=n2 cino=n-2 > if (cond) if (cond) if (cond) foo; foo; foo; else else else { { { bar; bar; bar; } } } < cino-f fN Place the first opening brace of a function or other block in column N. This applies only for an opening brace that is not inside other braces and is at the start of the line. What comes after the brace is put relative to this brace. (default 0). cino= cino=f.5s cino=f1s > func() func() func() { { { int foo; int foo; int foo; < cino-{ {N Place opening braces N characters from the prevailing indent. This applies only for opening braces that are inside other braces. (default 0). cino= cino={.5s cino={1s > if (cond) if (cond) if (cond) { { { foo; foo; foo; < cino-} }N Place closing braces N characters from the matching opening brace. (default 0). cino= cino={2,}-0.5s cino=}2 > if (cond) if (cond) if (cond) { { { foo; foo; foo; } } } < cino-^ ^N Add N to the prevailing indent inside a set of braces if the opening brace is in column 0. This can specify a different indent for whole of a function (some may like to set it to a negative number). (default 0). cino= cino=^-2 cino=^-s > func() func() func() { { { if (cond) if (cond) if (cond) { { { a = b; a = b; a = b; } } } } } } < cino-L LN Controls placement of jump labels. If N is negative, the label will be placed at column 1. If N is non-negative, the indent of the label will be the prevailing indent minus N. (default -1). cino= cino=L2 cino=Ls > func() func() func() { { { { { { stmt; stmt; stmt; LABEL: LABEL: LABEL: } } } } } } < cino-: :N Place case labels N characters from the indent of the switch(). (default 'shiftwidth'). cino= cino=:0 > switch (x) switch(x) { { case 1: case 1: a = b; a = b; default: default: } } < cino-= =N Place statements occurring after a case label N characters from the indent of the label. (default 'shiftwidth'). cino= cino==10 > case 11: case 11: a = a + 1; a = a + 1; b = b + 1; < cino-l lN If N != 0 Vim will align with a case label instead of the statement after it in the same line. cino= cino=l1 > switch (a) { switch (a) { case 1: { case 1: { break; break; } } < cino-b bN If N != 0 Vim will align a final "break" with the case label, so that case..break looks like a sort of block. (default: 0).

This limits the time needed to search for parentheses. (default 20 lines). cino-star N Vim searches for unclosed comments at most N lines away.

Indenting by expression indent-expression* The basics for using flexible indenting are explained in section \|30.3\| of the user manual. If you want to write your own indent file, it must set the 'indentexpr' option. Setting the 'indentkeys' option is often useful. See the $VIMRUNTIME/indent/README.txt file for hints. See the $VIMRUNTIME/indent directory for examples. REMARKS ABOUT SPECIFIC INDENT FILES ~ CLOJURE ft-clojure-indent clojure-indent Clojure indentation differs somewhat from traditional Lisps, due in part to the use of square and curly brackets, and otherwise by community convention. These conventions are not universally followed, so the Clojure indent script offers a few configurable options, listed below. If the current vim does not include searchpairpos(), the indent script falls back to normal 'lisp' indenting, and the following options are ignored. g:clojure_maxlines Set maximum scan distance of searchpairpos(). Larger values trade performance for correctness when dealing with very long forms. A value of 0 will scan without limits. > " Default let g:clojure_maxlines = 100 < g:clojure_fuzzy_indent g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist The 'lispwords' option is a list of comma-separated words that mark special forms whose subforms must be indented with two spaces. For example: > (defn bad [] "Incorrect indentation") (defn good [] "Correct indentation") < If you would like to specify 'lispwords' with a \|pattern\| instead, you can use the fuzzy indent feature: > " Default let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent = 1 let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns = ['^with', '^def', '^let'] let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist = \ ['-fn$', '\v^with-%(meta\|out-str\|loading-context)$'] " Legacy comma-delimited string version; the list format above is " recommended. Note that patterns are implicitly anchored with ^ and $ let g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns = 'with.,def.,let.' < \|g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns\| and \|g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist\| are \|Lists\| of patterns that will be matched against the unquoted, unqualified symbol at the head of a list. This means that a pattern like "^foo" will match all these candidates: "foobar", "my.ns/foobar", and "#'foobar". Each candidate word is tested for special treatment in this order: 1. Return true if word is literally in 'lispwords' 2. Return false if word matches a pattern in \|g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_blacklist\| 3. Return true if word matches a pattern in \|g:clojure_fuzzy_indent_patterns\| 4. Return false and indent normally otherwise g:clojure_special_indent_words* Some forms in Clojure are indented so that every subform is indented only two spaces, regardless of 'lispwords'. If you have a custom construct that should be indented in this idiosyncratic fashion, you can add your symbols to the default list below. > " Default let g:clojure_special_indent_words = \ 'deftype,defrecord,reify,proxy,extend-type,extend-protocol,letfn' < g:clojure_align_multiline_strings Align subsequent lines in multiline strings to the column after the opening quote, instead of the same column. For example: > (def default "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.") (def aligned "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.") < This option is off by default. > " Default let g:clojure_align_multiline_strings = 0 < g:clojure_align_subforms By default, parenthesized compound forms that look like function calls and whose head subform is on its own line have subsequent subforms indented by two spaces relative to the opening paren: > (foo bar baz) < Setting this option changes this behavior so that all subforms are aligned to the same column, emulating the default behavior of clojure-mode.el: > (foo bar baz) < This option is off by default. > " Default let g:clojure_align_subforms = 0 < FORTRAN ft-fortran-indent Block if, select case, where, and forall constructs are indented. So are type, interface, associate, block, and enum constructs. The indenting of subroutines, functions, modules, and program blocks is optional. Comments, labelled statements and continuation lines are indented if the Fortran is in free source form, whereas they are not indented if the Fortran is in fixed source form because of the left margin requirements. Hence manual indent corrections will be necessary for labelled statements and continuation lines when fixed source form is being used. For further discussion of the method used for the detection of source format see \|ft-fortran-syntax\|. Do loops ~ All do loops are left unindented by default. Do loops can be unstructured in Fortran with (possibly multiple) loops ending on a labelled executable statement of almost arbitrary type. Correct indentation requires compiler-quality parsing. Old code with do loops ending on labelled statements of arbitrary type can be indented with elaborate programs such as Tidy (http://www.unb.ca/chem/ajit/f_tidy.htm). Structured do/continue loops are also left unindented because continue statements are also used for purposes other than ending a do loop. Programs such as Tidy can convert structured do/continue loops to the do/enddo form. Do loops of the do/enddo variety can be indented. If you use only structured loops of the do/enddo form, you should declare this by setting the fortran_do_enddo variable in your .vimrc as follows > let fortran_do_enddo=1 in which case do loops will be indented. If all your loops are of do/enddo type only in, say, .f90 files, then you should set a buffer flag with an autocommand such as > au! BufRead,BufNewFile .f90 let b:fortran_do_enddo=1 to get do loops indented in .f90 files and left alone in Fortran files with other extensions such as .for. Program units ~ The indenting of program units (subroutines, functions, modules, and program blocks) is enabled by default but can be suppressed if a lighter, screen-width preserving indent style is desired. To suppress the indenting of program units for all fortran files set the global fortran_indent_less variable in your .vimrc as follows > let fortran_indent_less=1 A finer level of suppression can be achieved by setting the corresponding buffer-local variable as follows > let b:fortran_indent_less=1 HTML ft-html-indent* html-indent html-indenting This is about variables you can set in your vimrc to customize HTML indenting. You can set the indent for the first line after <script> and <style> "blocktags" (default "zero"): > :let g:html_indent_script1 = "inc" :let g:html_indent_style1 = "inc" < VALUE MEANING ~ "zero" zero indent "auto" auto indent (same indent as the blocktag) "inc" auto indent + one indent step Many tags increase the indent for what follows per default (see "Add Indent Tags" in the script). You can add further tags with: > :let g:html_indent_inctags = "html,body,head,tbody" You can also remove such tags with: > :let g:html_indent_autotags = "th,td,tr,tfoot,thead" Default value is empty for both variables. Note: the initial "inctags" are only defined once per Vim session. User variables are only read when the script is sourced. To enable your changes during a session, without reloading the HTML file, you can manually do: > :call HtmlIndent_CheckUserSettings() Detail: Calculation of indent inside "blocktags" with "alien" content: BLOCKTAG INDENT EXPR WHEN APPLICABLE ~ <script> : {customizable} if first line of block : cindent(v:lnum) if attributes empty or contain "java" : -1 else (vbscript, tcl, ...) <style> : {customizable} if first line of block : GetCSSIndent() else <!-- --> : -1 MATLAB ft-matlab-indent matlab-indent matlab-indenting The setting Function indenting format in MATLAB Editor/Debugger Language Preferences corresponds to: > :let g:MATLAB_function_indent = {0, 1 or 2 (default)} Where 0 is for Classic, 1 for Indent nested functions and 2 for Indent all functions. PHP ft-php-indent php-indent php-indenting NOTE: PHP files will be indented correctly only if PHP \|syntax\| is active. If you are editing a file in Unix 'fileformat' and '\r' characters are present before new lines, indentation won't proceed correctly ; you have to remove those useless characters first with a command like: > :%s /\r$//g Or, you can simply \|:let\| the variable PHP_removeCRwhenUnix to 1 and the script will silently remove them when Vim loads a PHP file (at each \|BufRead\|). OPTIONS: ~ PHP indenting can be altered in several ways by modifying the values of some global variables: php-comment PHP_autoformatcomment To not enable auto-formatting of comments by default (if you want to use your own 'formatoptions'): > :let g:PHP_autoformatcomment = 0 Else, 't' will be removed from the 'formatoptions' string and "qrowcb" will be added, see \|fo-table\| for more information. ------------- PHP_outdentSLComments To add extra indentation to single-line comments: > :let g:PHP_outdentSLComments = N With N being the number of 'shiftwidth' to add. Only single-line comments will be affected such as: > # Comment // Comment /* Comment / ------------- PHP_default_indenting* To add extra indentation to every PHP lines with N being the number of 'shiftwidth' to add: > :let g:PHP_default_indenting = N For example, with N = 1, this will give: > <?php if (!isset($History_lst_sel)) if (!isset($History_lst_sel)) if (!isset($History_lst_sel)) { $History_lst_sel=0; } else $foo="bar"; $command_hist = TRUE; ?> (Notice the extra indentation between the PHP container markers and the code) ------------- PHP_outdentphpescape To indent PHP escape tags as the surrounding non-PHP code (only affects the PHP escape tags): > :let g:PHP_outdentphpescape = 0 ------------- PHP_removeCRwhenUnix To automatically remove '\r' characters when the 'fileformat' is set to Unix: > :let g:PHP_removeCRwhenUnix = 1 ------------- PHP_BracesAtCodeLevel To indent braces at the same level than the code they contain: > :let g:PHP_BracesAtCodeLevel = 1 This will give the following result: > if ($foo) { foo(); } Instead of: > if ($foo) { foo(); } NOTE: Indenting will be a bit slower if this option is used because some optimizations won't be available. ------------- PHP_vintage_case_default_indent To indent 'case:' and 'default:' statements in switch() blocks: > :let g:PHP_vintage_case_default_indent = 1 In PHP braces are not required inside 'case/default' blocks therefore 'case:' and 'default:' are indented at the same level than the 'switch()' to avoid meaningless indentation. You can use the above option to return to the traditional way. ------------- PHP_noArrowMatching By default the indent script will indent multi-line chained calls by matching the position of the '->': > $user_name_very_long->name() ->age() ->info(); You can revert to the classic way of indenting by setting this option to 1: > :let g:PHP_noArrowMatching = 1 You will obtain the following result: > $user_name_very_long->name() ->age() ->info(); ------------- PHP_IndentFunctionCallParameters Extra indentation levels to add to parameters in multi-line function calls. > let g:PHP_IndentFunctionCallParameters = 1 Function call arguments will indent 1 extra level. For two-space indentation: > function call_the_thing( $with_this, $and_that ) { $this->do_the_thing( $with_this, $and_that ); } ------------- PHP_IndentFunctionDeclarationParameters Extra indentation levels to add to arguments in multi-line function definitions. > let g:PHP_IndentFunctionDeclarationParameters = 1 Function arguments in declarations will indent 1 extra level. For two-space indentation: > function call_the_thing( $with_this, $and_that ) { $this->do_the_thing( $with_this, $and_that ); } PYTHON ft-python-indent The amount of indent can be set for the following situations. The examples given are the defaults. Note that the variables are set to an expression, so that you can change the value of 'shiftwidth' later. Indent after an open paren: > let g:pyindent_open_paren = 'shiftwidth() * 2' Indent after a nested paren: > let g:pyindent_nested_paren = 'shiftwidth()' Indent for a continuation line: > let g:pyindent_continue = 'shiftwidth() * 2' The method uses \|searchpair()\| to look back for unclosed parentheses. This can sometimes be slow, thus it timeouts after 150 msec. If you notice the indenting isn't correct, you can set a larger timeout in msec: > let g:pyindent_searchpair_timeout = 500 If looking back for unclosed parenthesis is still too slow, especially during a copy-paste operation, or if you don't need indenting inside multi-line parentheses, you can completely disable this feature: > let g:pyindent_disable_parentheses_indenting = 1 R ft-r-indent Function arguments are aligned if they span for multiple lines. If you prefer do not have the arguments of functions aligned, put in your \|vimrc\|: > let r_indent_align_args = 0 < All lines beginning with a comment character, #, get the same indentation level of the normal R code. Users of Emacs/ESS may be used to have lines beginning with a single # indented in the 40th column, ## indented as R code, and ### not indented. If you prefer that lines beginning with comment characters are aligned as they are by Emacs/ESS, put in your \|vimrc\|: > let r_indent_ess_comments = 1 < If you prefer that lines beginning with a single # are aligned at a column different from the 40th one, you should set a new value to the variable r_indent_comment_column, as in the example below: > let r_indent_comment_column = 30 < Any code after a line that ends with "<-" is indented. Emacs/ESS does not indent the code if it is a top level function. If you prefer that the Vim-R-plugin behaves like Emacs/ESS in this regard, put in your \|vimrc\|: > let r_indent_ess_compatible = 1 < Below is an example of indentation with and without this option enabled: > ### r_indent_ess_compatible = 1 ### r_indent_ess_compatible = 0 foo <- foo <- function(x) function(x) { { paste(x) paste(x) } } < The code will be indented after lines that match the pattern `'$&\\|\|\\|+\\|-\\|\\\|/\\|=\\|\~\\|%\\|->$\s$'`. If you want indentation after lines that match a different pattern, you should set the appropriate value of `r_indent_op_pattern` in your \|vimrc\|. SHELL ft-sh-indent The amount of indent applied under various circumstances in a shell file can be configured by setting the following keys in the \|Dictionary\| b:sh_indent_defaults to a specific amount or to a \|Funcref\| that references a function that will return the amount desired: b:sh_indent_options['default'] Default amount of indent. b:sh_indent_options['continuation-line'] Amount of indent to add to a continued line. b:sh_indent_options['case-labels'] Amount of indent to add for case labels. (not actually implemented) b:sh_indent_options['case-statements'] Amount of indent to add for case statements. b:sh_indent_options['case-breaks'] Amount of indent to add (or more likely remove) for case breaks. VERILOG ft-verilog-indent General block statements such as if, for, case, always, initial, function, specify and begin, etc., are indented. The module block statements (first level blocks) are not indented by default. you can turn on the indent with setting a variable in the .vimrc as follows: > let b:verilog_indent_modules = 1 then the module blocks will be indented. To stop this, remove the variable: > :unlet b:verilog_indent_modules To set the variable only for Verilog file. The following statements can be used: > au BufReadPost * if exists("b:current_syntax") au BufReadPost * if b:current_syntax == "verilog" au BufReadPost * let b:verilog_indent_modules = 1 au BufReadPost * endif au BufReadPost * endif Furthermore, setting the variable b:verilog_indent_width to change the indenting width (default is 'shiftwidth'): > let b:verilog_indent_width = 4 let b:verilog_indent_width = shiftwidth() * 2 In addition, you can turn the verbose mode for debug issue: > let b:verilog_indent_verbose = 1 Make sure to do ":set cmdheight=2" first to allow the display of the message. VHDL ft-vhdl-indent Alignment of generic/port mapping statements are performed by default. This causes the following alignment example: > ENTITY sync IS PORT ( clk : IN STD_LOGIC; reset_n : IN STD_LOGIC; data_input : IN STD_LOGIC; data_out : OUT STD_LOGIC ); END ENTITY sync; To turn this off, add > let g:vhdl_indent_genportmap = 0 to the .vimrc file, which causes the previous alignment example to change: > ENTITY sync IS PORT ( clk : IN STD_LOGIC; reset_n : IN STD_LOGIC; data_input : IN STD_LOGIC; data_out : OUT STD_LOGIC ); END ENTITY sync; ---------------------------------------- Alignment of right-hand side assignment "<=" statements are performed by default. This causes the following alignment example: > sig_out <= (bus_a(1) AND (sig_b OR sig_c)) OR (bus_a(0) AND sig_d); To turn this off, add > let g:vhdl_indent_rhsassign = 0 to the .vimrc file, which causes the previous alignment example to change: > sig_out <= (bus_a(1) AND (sig_b OR sig_c)) OR (bus_a(0) AND sig_d); ---------------------------------------- Full-line comments (lines that begin with "--") are indented to be aligned with the very previous line's comment, PROVIDED that a whitespace follows after "--". For example: > sig_a <= sig_b; -- start of a comment -- continuation of the comment -- more of the same comment While in Insert mode, after typing "-- " (note the space " "), hitting CTRL-F will align the current "-- " with the previous line's "--". If the very previous line does not contain "--", THEN the full-line comment will be aligned with the start of the next non-blank line that is NOT a full-line comment. Indenting the following code: > sig_c <= sig_d; -- comment 0 -- comment 1 -- comment 2 --debug_code: --PROCESS(debug_in) --BEGIN -- FOR i IN 15 DOWNTO 0 LOOP -- debug_out(8i+7 DOWNTO 8i) <= debug_in(15-i); -- END LOOP; --END PROCESS debug_code; -- comment 3 sig_e <= sig_f; -- comment 4 -- comment 5 results in: > sig_c <= sig_d; -- comment 0 -- comment 1 -- comment 2 --debug_code: --PROCESS(debug_in) --BEGIN -- FOR i IN 15 DOWNTO 0 LOOP -- debug_out(8i+7 DOWNTO 8i) <= debug_in(15-i); -- END LOOP; --END PROCESS debug_code; -- comment 3 sig_e <= sig_f; -- comment 4 -- comment 5 Notice that "--debug_code:" does not align with "-- comment 2" because there is no whitespace that follows after "--" in "--debug_code:". Given the dynamic nature of indenting comments, indenting should be done TWICE. On the first pass, code will be indented. On the second pass, full-line comments will be indented according to the correctly indented code. VIM ft-vim-indent For indenting Vim scripts there is one variable that specifies the amount of indent for a continuation line, a line that starts with a backslash: > :let g:vim_indent_cont = shiftwidth() * 3 Three times shiftwidth is the default value. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	41.29 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Useful for editing a table. ============================================================================== 1. Special keys ins-special-keys In Insert and Replace mode, the following characters have a special meaning; other characters are inserted directly. To insert one of these special characters into the buffer, precede it with CTRL-V. To insert a <Nul> character use "CTRL-V CTRL-@" or "CTRL-V 000". On some systems, you have to use "CTRL-V 003" to insert a CTRL-C. Note: When CTRL-V is mapped you can often use CTRL-Q instead \|i_CTRL-Q\|. If you are working in a special language mode when inserting text, see the 'langmap' option, \|'langmap'\|, on how to avoid switching this mode on and off all the time. If you have 'insertmode' set, <Esc> and a few other keys get another meaning. See \|'insertmode'\|. char action ~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- i_CTRL-[ i_<Esc> <Esc> or CTRL-[ End insert or Replace mode, go back to Normal mode. Finish abbreviation. Note: If your <Esc> key is hard to hit on your keyboard, train yourself to use CTRL-[. If Esc doesn't work and you are using a Mac, try CTRL-Esc. Or disable Listening under Accessibility preferences. i_CTRL-C CTRL-C Quit insert mode, go back to Normal mode. Do not check for abbreviations. Does not trigger the \|InsertLeave\| autocommand event. i_CTRL-@ CTRL-@ Insert previously inserted text and stop insert. i_CTRL-A CTRL-A Insert previously inserted text. i_CTRL-H i_<BS> i_BS <BS> or CTRL-H Delete the character before the cursor (see \|i_backspacing\| about joining lines). See \|:fixdel\| if your <BS> key does not do what you want. i_<Del> i_DEL <Del> Delete the character under the cursor. If the cursor is at the end of the line, and the 'backspace' option includes "eol", delete the <EOL>; the next line is appended after the current one. See \|:fixdel\| if your <Del> key does not do what you want. i_CTRL-W CTRL-W Delete the word before the cursor (see \|i_backspacing\| about joining lines). See the section "word motions", \|word-motions\|, for the definition of a word. i_CTRL-U CTRL-U Delete all entered characters before the cursor in the current line. If there are no newly entered characters and 'backspace' is not empty, delete all characters before the cursor in the current line. See \|i_backspacing\| about joining lines. i_CTRL-I i_<Tab> i_Tab <Tab> or CTRL-I Insert a tab. If the 'expandtab' option is on, the equivalent number of spaces is inserted (use CTRL-V <Tab> to avoid the expansion; use CTRL-Q <Tab> if CTRL-V is mapped \|i_CTRL-Q\|). See also the 'smarttab' option and \|ins-expandtab\|. i_CTRL-J i_<NL> <NL> or CTRL-J Begin new line. i_CTRL-M i_<CR> <CR> or CTRL-M Begin new line. i_CTRL-K CTRL-K {char1} [char2] Enter digraph (see \|digraphs\|). When {char1} is a special key, the code for that key is inserted in <> form. For example, the string "<S-Space>" can be entered by typing <C-K><S-Space> (two keys). Neither char is considered for mapping. CTRL-N Find next keyword (see \|i_CTRL-N\|). CTRL-P Find previous keyword (see \|i_CTRL-P\|). CTRL-R {register} i_CTRL-R Insert the contents of a register. Between typing CTRL-R and the second character, '"' will be displayed to indicate that you are expected to enter the name of a register. The text is inserted as if you typed it, but mappings and abbreviations are not used. If you have options like 'textwidth', 'formatoptions', or 'autoindent' set, this will influence what will be inserted. This is different from what happens with the "p" command and pasting with the mouse. Special registers: '"' the unnamed register, containing the text of the last delete or yank '%' the current file name '#' the alternate file name '' the clipboard contents (X11: primary selection) '+' the clipboard contents '/' the last search pattern ':' the last command-line '.' the last inserted text '-' the last small (less than a line) delete i_CTRL-R_=* '=' the expression register: you are prompted to enter an expression (see \|expression\|) Note that 0x80 (128 decimal) is used for special keys. E.g., you can use this to move the cursor up: CTRL-R ="\<Up>" Use CTRL-R CTRL-R to insert text literally. When the result is a \|List\| the items are used as lines. They can have line breaks inside too. When the result is a Float it's automatically converted to a String. When append() or setline() is invoked the undo sequence will be broken. See \|registers\| about registers. CTRL-R CTRL-R {register} i_CTRL-R_CTRL-R Insert the contents of a register. Works like using a single CTRL-R, but the text is inserted literally, not as if typed. This differs when the register contains characters like <BS>. Example, where register a contains "ab^Hc": > CTRL-R a results in "ac". CTRL-R CTRL-R a results in "ab^Hc". < Options 'textwidth', 'formatoptions', etc. still apply. If you also want to avoid these, use CTRL-R CTRL-O, see below. The '.' register (last inserted text) is still inserted as typed. After this command, the '.' register contains the text from the register as if it was inserted by typing it. CTRL-R CTRL-O {register} i_CTRL-R_CTRL-O Insert the contents of a register literally and don't auto-indent. Does the same as pasting with the mouse \|<MiddleMouse>\|. When the register is linewise this will insert the text above the current line, like with `P`. Does not replace characters! The '.' register (last inserted text) is still inserted as typed. After this command, the '.' register contains the command typed and not the text. I.e., the literals "^R^O" and not the text from the register. CTRL-R CTRL-P {register} i_CTRL-R_CTRL-P Insert the contents of a register literally and fix the indent, like \|[<MiddleMouse>\|. Does not replace characters! The '.' register (last inserted text) is still inserted as typed. After this command, the '.' register contains the command typed and not the text. I.e., the literals "^R^P" and not the text from the register. i_CTRL-T CTRL-T Insert one shiftwidth of indent at the start of the current line. The indent is always rounded to a 'shiftwidth' (this is vi compatible). i_CTRL-D CTRL-D Delete one shiftwidth of indent at the start of the current line. The indent is always rounded to a 'shiftwidth' (this is vi compatible). i_0_CTRL-D 0 CTRL-D Delete all indent in the current line. i_^_CTRL-D ^ CTRL-D Delete all indent in the current line. The indent is restored in the next line. This is useful when inserting a label. i_CTRL-V CTRL-V Insert next non-digit literally. For special keys, the terminal code is inserted. It's also possible to enter the decimal, octal or hexadecimal value of a character \|i_CTRL-V_digit\|. The characters typed right after CTRL-V are not considered for mapping. Note: When CTRL-V is mapped (e.g., to paste text) you can often use CTRL-Q instead \|i_CTRL-Q\|. When \|modifyOtherKeys\| is enabled then special Escape sequence is converted back to what it was without \|modifyOtherKeys\|, unless the Shift key is also pressed. i_CTRL-Q CTRL-Q Same as CTRL-V. Note: Some terminal connections may eat CTRL-Q, it doesn't work then. It does work in the GUI. CTRL-SHIFT-V i_CTRL-SHIFT-V i_CTRL-SHIFT-Q CTRL-SHIFT-Q Works just like CTRL-V, unless \|modifyOtherKeys\| is active, then it inserts the Escape sequence for a key with modifiers. CTRL-X Enter CTRL-X mode. This is a sub-mode where commands can be given to complete words or scroll the window. See \|i_CTRL-X\| and \|ins-completion\|. i_CTRL-E CTRL-E Insert the character which is below the cursor. i_CTRL-Y CTRL-Y Insert the character which is above the cursor. Note that for CTRL-E and CTRL-Y 'textwidth' is not used, to be able to copy characters from a long line. i_CTRL-_ CTRL-_ Switch between languages, as follows: - When in a rightleft window, revins and nohkmap are toggled, since English will likely be inserted in this case. - When in a norightleft window, revins and hkmap are toggled, since Hebrew will likely be inserted in this case. CTRL-_ moves the cursor to the end of the typed text. This command is only available when the 'allowrevins' option is set. Please refer to \|rileft.txt\| for more information about right-to-left mode. Only if compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature. i_CTRL-^ CTRL-^ Toggle the use of typing language characters. When language \|:lmap\| mappings are defined: - If 'iminsert' is 1 (langmap mappings used) it becomes 0 (no langmap mappings used). - If 'iminsert' has another value it becomes 1, thus langmap mappings are enabled. When no language mappings are defined: - If 'iminsert' is 2 (Input Method used) it becomes 0 (no Input Method used). - If 'iminsert' has another value it becomes 2, thus the Input Method is enabled. When set to 1, the value of the "b:keymap_name" variable, the 'keymap' option or "<lang>" appears in the status line. The language mappings are normally used to type characters that are different from what the keyboard produces. The 'keymap' option can be used to install a whole number of them. i_CTRL-] CTRL-] Trigger abbreviation, without inserting a character. i_<Insert> <Insert> Toggle between Insert and Replace mode. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- i_backspacing The effect of the <BS>, CTRL-W, and CTRL-U depend on the 'backspace' option (unless 'revins' is set). This is a comma separated list of items: item action ~ indent allow backspacing over autoindent eol allow backspacing over end-of-line (join lines) start allow backspacing over the start position of insert; CTRL-W and CTRL-U stop once at the start position When 'backspace' is empty, Vi compatible backspacing is used. You cannot backspace over autoindent, before column 1 or before where insert started. For backwards compatibility the values "0", "1" and "2" are also allowed, see \|'backspace'\|. If the 'backspace' option does contain "eol" and the cursor is in column 1 when one of the three keys is used, the current line is joined with the previous line. This effectively deletes the <EOL> in front of the cursor. i_CTRL-V_digit With CTRL-V the decimal, octal or hexadecimal value of a character can be entered directly. This way you can enter any character, except a line break (<NL>, value 10). There are five ways to enter the character value: first char mode max nr of chars max value ~ (none) decimal 3 255 o or O octal 3 377 (255) x or X hexadecimal 2 ff (255) u hexadecimal 4 ffff (65535) U hexadecimal 8 7fffffff (2147483647) Normally you would type the maximum number of characters. Thus to enter a space (value 32) you would type <C-V>032. You can omit the leading zero, in which case the character typed after the number must be a non-digit. This happens for the other modes as well: As soon as you type a character that is invalid for the mode, the value before it will be used and the "invalid" character is dealt with in the normal way. If you enter a value of 10, it will end up in the file as a 0. The 10 is a <NL>, which is used internally to represent the <Nul> character. When writing the buffer to a file, the <NL> character is translated into <Nul>. The <NL> character is written at the end of each line. Thus if you want to insert a <NL> character in a file you will have to make a line break. Also see 'fileformat'. i_CTRL-X insert_expand CTRL-X enters a sub-mode where several commands can be used. Most of these commands do keyword completion; see \|ins-completion\|. Two commands can be used to scroll the window up or down, without exiting insert mode: i_CTRL-X_CTRL-E CTRL-X CTRL-E scroll window one line up. When doing completion look here: \|complete_CTRL-E\| i_CTRL-X_CTRL-Y CTRL-X CTRL-Y scroll window one line down. When doing completion look here: \|complete_CTRL-Y\| After CTRL-X is pressed, each CTRL-E (CTRL-Y) scrolls the window up (down) by one line unless that would cause the cursor to move from its current position in the file. As soon as another key is pressed, CTRL-X mode is exited and that key is interpreted as in Insert mode. ============================================================================== 2. Special special keys ins-special-special The following keys are special. They stop the current insert, do something, and then restart insertion. This means you can do something without getting out of Insert mode. This is very handy if you prefer to use the Insert mode all the time, just like editors that don't have a separate Normal mode. You may also want to set the 'backspace' option to "indent,eol,start" and set the 'insertmode' option. You can use CTRL-O if you want to map a function key to a command. The changes (inserted or deleted characters) before and after these keys can be undone separately. Only the last change can be redone and always behaves like an "i" command. char action ~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <Up> cursor one line up i_<Up> <Down> cursor one line down i_<Down> CTRL-G <Up> cursor one line up, insert start column i_CTRL-G_<Up> CTRL-G k cursor one line up, insert start column i_CTRL-G_k CTRL-G CTRL-K cursor one line up, insert start column i_CTRL-G_CTRL-K CTRL-G <Down> cursor one line down, insert start column i_CTRL-G_<Down> CTRL-G j cursor one line down, insert start column i_CTRL-G_j CTRL-G CTRL-J cursor one line down, insert start column i_CTRL-G_CTRL-J <Left> cursor one character left i_<Left> <Right> cursor one character right i_<Right> <S-Left> cursor one word back (like "b" command) i_<S-Left> <C-Left> cursor one word back (like "b" command) i_<C-Left> <S-Right> cursor one word forward (like "w" command) i_<S-Right> <C-Right> cursor one word forward (like "w" command) i_<C-Right> <Home> cursor to first char in the line i_<Home> <End> cursor to after last char in the line i_<End> <C-Home> cursor to first char in the file i_<C-Home> <C-End> cursor to after last char in the file i_<C-End> <LeftMouse> cursor to position of mouse click i_<LeftMouse> <S-Up> move window one page up i_<S-Up> <PageUp> move window one page up i_<PageUp> <S-Down> move window one page down i_<S-Down> <PageDown> move window one page down i_<PageDown> <ScrollWheelDown> move window three lines down i_<ScrollWheelDown> <S-ScrollWheelDown> move window one page down i_<S-ScrollWheelDown> <ScrollWheelUp> move window three lines up i_<ScrollWheelUp> <S-ScrollWheelUp> move window one page up i_<S-ScrollWheelUp> <ScrollWheelLeft> move window six columns left i_<ScrollWheelLeft> <S-ScrollWheelLeft> move window one page left i_<S-ScrollWheelLeft> <ScrollWheelRight> move window six columns right i_<ScrollWheelRight> <S-ScrollWheelRight> move window one page right i_<S-ScrollWheelRight> CTRL-O execute one command, return to Insert mode i_CTRL-O CTRL-\ CTRL-O like CTRL-O but don't move the cursor i_CTRL-\_CTRL-O CTRL-L when 'insertmode' is set: go to Normal mode i_CTRL-L CTRL-G u break undo sequence, start new change i_CTRL-G_u CTRL-G U don't break undo with next left/right cursor i_CTRL-G_U movement, if the cursor stays within the same line ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: If the cursor keys take you out of Insert mode, check the 'noesckeys' option. The CTRL-O command sometimes has a side effect: If the cursor was beyond the end of the line, it will be put on the last character in the line. In mappings it's often better to use <Esc> (first put an "x" in the text, <Esc> will then always put the cursor on it). Or use CTRL-\ CTRL-O, but then beware of the cursor possibly being beyond the end of the line. Note that the command following CTRL-\ CTRL-O can still move the cursor, it is not restored to its original position. The CTRL-O command takes you to Normal mode. If you then use a command enter Insert mode again it normally doesn't nest. Thus when typing "a<C-O>a" and then <Esc> takes you back to Normal mode, you do not need to type <Esc> twice. An exception is when not typing the command, e.g. when executing a mapping or sourcing a script. This makes mappings work that briefly switch to Insert mode. The shifted cursor keys are not available on all terminals. Another side effect is that a count specified before the "i" or "a" command is ignored. That is because repeating the effect of the command after CTRL-O is too complicated. An example for using CTRL-G u: > :inoremap <C-H> <C-G>u<C-H> This redefines the backspace key to start a new undo sequence. You can now undo the effect of the backspace key, without changing what you typed before that, with CTRL-O u. Another example: > :inoremap <CR> <C-]><C-G>u<CR> This breaks undo at each line break. It also expands abbreviations before this. An example for using CTRL-G U: > inoremap <Left> <C-G>U<Left> inoremap <Right> <C-G>U<Right> inoremap <expr> <Home> col('.') == match(getline('.'), '\S') + 1 ? \ repeat('<C-G>U<Left>', col('.') - 1) : \ (col('.') < match(getline('.'), '\S') ? \ repeat('<C-G>U<Right>', match(getline('.'), '\S') + 0) : \ repeat('<C-G>U<Left>', col('.') - 1 - match(getline('.'), '\S'))) inoremap <expr> <End> repeat('<C-G>U<Right>', col('$') - col('.')) inoremap ( ()<C-G>U<Left> This makes it possible to use the cursor keys in Insert mode, without breaking the undo sequence and therefore using \|.\| (redo) will work as expected. Also entering a text like (with the "(" mapping from above): Lorem ipsum (dolor will be repeatable by using \|.\| to the expected Lorem ipsum (dolor) Using CTRL-O splits undo: the text typed before and after it is undone separately. If you want to avoid this (e.g., in a mapping) you might be able to use CTRL-R = \|i_CTRL-R\|. E.g., to call a function: > :imap <F2> <C-R>=MyFunc()<CR> When the 'whichwrap' option is set appropriately, the <Left> and <Right> keys on the first/last character in the line make the cursor wrap to the previous/next line. The CTRL-G j and CTRL-G k commands can be used to insert text in front of a column. Example: > int i; int j; Position the cursor on the first "int", type "istatic <C-G>j ". The result is: > static int i; int j; When inserting the same text in front of the column in every line, use the Visual blockwise command "I" \|v_b_I\|. ============================================================================== 3. 'textwidth' and 'wrapmargin' options ins-textwidth The 'textwidth' option can be used to automatically break a line before it gets too long. Set the 'textwidth' option to the desired maximum line length. If you then type more characters (not spaces or tabs), the last word will be put on a new line (unless it is the only word on the line). If you set 'textwidth' to 0, this feature is disabled. The 'wrapmargin' option does almost the same. The difference is that 'textwidth' has a fixed width while 'wrapmargin' depends on the width of the screen. When using 'wrapmargin' this is equal to using 'textwidth' with a value equal to (columns - 'wrapmargin'), where columns is the width of the screen. When 'textwidth' and 'wrapmargin' are both set, 'textwidth' is used. If you don't really want to break the line, but view the line wrapped at a convenient place, see the 'linebreak' option. The line is only broken automatically when using Insert mode, or when appending to a line. When in replace mode and the line length is not changed, the line will not be broken. Long lines are broken if you enter a non-white character after the margin. The situations where a line will be broken can be restricted by adding characters to the 'formatoptions' option: "l" Only break a line if it was not longer than 'textwidth' when the insert started. "v" Only break at a white character that has been entered during the current insert command. This is mostly Vi-compatible. "lv" Only break if the line was not longer than 'textwidth' when the insert started and only at a white character that has been entered during the current insert command. Only differs from "l" when entering non-white characters while crossing the 'textwidth' boundary. Normally an internal function will be used to decide where to break the line. If you want to do it in a different way set the 'formatexpr' option to an expression that will take care of the line break. If you want to format a block of text, you can use the "gq" operator. Type "gq" and a movement command to move the cursor to the end of the block. In many cases, the command "gq}" will do what you want (format until the end of paragraph). Alternatively, you can use "gqap", which will format the whole paragraph, no matter where the cursor currently is. Or you can use Visual mode: hit "v", move to the end of the block, and type "gq". See also \|gq\|. ============================================================================== 4. 'expandtab', 'smarttab' and 'softtabstop' options ins-expandtab If the 'expandtab' option is on, spaces will be used to fill the amount of whitespace of the tab. If you want to enter a real <Tab>, type CTRL-V first (use CTRL-Q when CTRL-V is mapped \|i_CTRL-Q\|). The 'expandtab' option is off by default. Note that in Replace mode, a single character is replaced with several spaces. The result of this is that the number of characters in the line increases. Backspacing will delete one space at a time. The original character will be put back for only one space that you backspace over (the last one). ins-smarttab When the 'smarttab' option is on, a <Tab> inserts 'shiftwidth' positions at the beginning of a line and 'tabstop' positions in other places. This means that often spaces instead of a <Tab> character are inserted. When 'smarttab' is off, a <Tab> always inserts 'tabstop' positions, and 'shiftwidth' is only used for ">>" and the like. ins-softtabstop When the 'softtabstop' option is non-zero, a <Tab> inserts 'softtabstop' positions, and a <BS> used to delete white space, will delete 'softtabstop' positions. This feels like 'tabstop' was set to 'softtabstop', but a real <Tab> character still takes 'tabstop' positions, so your file will still look correct when used by other applications. If 'softtabstop' is non-zero, a <BS> will try to delete as much white space to move to the previous 'softtabstop' position, except when the previously inserted character is a space, then it will only delete the character before the cursor. Otherwise you cannot always delete a single character before the cursor. You will have to delete 'softtabstop' characters first, and then type extra spaces to get where you want to be. ============================================================================== 5. Replace mode Replace Replace-mode mode-replace Enter Replace mode with the "R" command in normal mode. In Replace mode, one character in the line is deleted for every character you type. If there is no character to delete (at the end of the line), the typed character is appended (as in Insert mode). Thus the number of characters in a line stays the same until you get to the end of the line. If a <NL> is typed, a line break is inserted and no character is deleted. Be careful with <Tab> characters. If you type a normal printing character in its place, the number of characters is still the same, but the number of columns will become smaller. If you delete characters in Replace mode (with <BS>, CTRL-W, or CTRL-U), what happens is that you delete the changes. The characters that were replaced are restored. If you had typed past the existing text, the characters you added are deleted. This is effectively a character-at-a-time undo. If the 'expandtab' option is on, a <Tab> will replace one character with several spaces. The result of this is that the number of characters in the line increases. Backspacing will delete one space at a time. The original character will be put back for only one space that you backspace over (the last one). ============================================================================== 6. Virtual Replace mode vreplace-mode Virtual-Replace-mode Enter Virtual Replace mode with the "gR" command in normal mode. {not available when compiled without the \|+vreplace\| feature} Virtual Replace mode is similar to Replace mode, but instead of replacing actual characters in the file, you are replacing screen real estate, so that characters further on in the file never appear to move. So if you type a <Tab> it may replace several normal characters, and if you type a letter on top of a <Tab> it may not replace anything at all, since the <Tab> will still line up to the same place as before. Typing a <NL> still doesn't cause characters later in the file to appear to move. The rest of the current line will be replaced by the <NL> (that is, they are deleted), and replacing continues on the next line. A new line is NOT inserted unless you go past the end of the file. Interesting effects are seen when using CTRL-T and CTRL-D. The characters before the cursor are shifted sideways as normal, but characters later in the line still remain still. CTRL-T will hide some of the old line under the shifted characters, but CTRL-D will reveal them again. As with Replace mode, using <BS> etc will bring back the characters that were replaced. This still works in conjunction with 'smartindent', CTRL-T and CTRL-D, 'expandtab', 'smarttab', 'softtabstop', etc. In 'list' mode, Virtual Replace mode acts as if it was not in 'list' mode, unless "L" is in 'cpoptions'. Note that the only situations for which characters beyond the cursor should appear to move are in List mode \|'list'\|, and occasionally when 'wrap' is set (and the line changes length to become shorter or wider than the width of the screen). In other cases spaces may be inserted to avoid following characters to move. This mode is very useful for editing <Tab> separated columns in tables, for entering new data while keeping all the columns aligned. ============================================================================== 7. Insert mode completion ins-completion In Insert and Replace mode, there are several commands to complete part of a keyword or line that has been typed. This is useful if you are using complicated keywords (e.g., function names with capitals and underscores). Completion can be done for: 1. Whole lines \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L\| 2. keywords in the current file \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-N\| 3. keywords in 'dictionary' \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K\| 4. keywords in 'thesaurus', thesaurus-style \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-T\| 5. keywords in the current and included files \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-I\| 6. tags \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-]\| 7. file names \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-F\| 8. definitions or macros \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-D\| 9. Vim command-line \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-V\| 10. User defined completion \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U\| 11. omni completion \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O\| 12. Spelling suggestions \|i_CTRL-X_s\| 13. keywords in 'complete' \|i_CTRL-N\| \|i_CTRL-P\| All these, except CTRL-N and CTRL-P, are done in CTRL-X mode. This is a sub-mode of Insert and Replace modes. You enter CTRL-X mode by typing CTRL-X and one of the CTRL-X commands. You exit CTRL-X mode by typing a key that is not a valid CTRL-X mode command. Valid keys are the CTRL-X command itself, CTRL-N (next), and CTRL-P (previous). To get the current completion information, \|complete_info()\| can be used. Also see the 'infercase' option if you want to adjust the case of the match. complete_CTRL-E When completion is active you can use CTRL-E to stop it and go back to the originally typed text. The CTRL-E will not be inserted. complete_CTRL-Y When the popup menu is displayed you can use CTRL-Y to stop completion and accept the currently selected entry. The CTRL-Y is not inserted. Typing a space, Enter, or some other unprintable character will leave completion mode and insert that typed character. When the popup menu is displayed there are a few more special keys, see \|popupmenu-keys\|. Note: The keys that are valid in CTRL-X mode are not mapped. This allows for ":map ^F ^X^F" to work (where ^F is CTRL-F and ^X is CTRL-X). The key that ends CTRL-X mode (any key that is not a valid CTRL-X mode command) is mapped. Also, when doing completion with 'complete' mappings apply as usual. E578 E565 Note: While completion is active Insert mode can't be used recursively and buffer text cannot be changed. Mappings that somehow invoke ":normal i.." will generate an E565 error. The following mappings are suggested to make typing the completion commands a bit easier (although they will hide other commands): > :inoremap ^] ^X^] :inoremap ^F ^X^F :inoremap ^D ^X^D :inoremap ^L ^X^L As a special case, typing CTRL-R to perform register insertion (see \|i_CTRL-R\|) will not exit CTRL-X mode. This is primarily to allow the use of the '=' register to call some function to determine the next operation. If the contents of the register (or result of the '=' register evaluation) are not valid CTRL-X mode keys, then CTRL-X mode will be exited as if those keys had been typed. For example, the following will map <Tab> to either actually insert a <Tab> if the current line is currently only whitespace, or start/continue a CTRL-N completion operation: > function! CleverTab() if strpart( getline('.'), 0, col('.')-1 ) =~ '^\s$' return "\<Tab>" else return "\<C-N>" endif endfunction inoremap <Tab> <C-R>=CleverTab()<CR> Completing whole lines compl-whole-line* i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L CTRL-X CTRL-L Search backwards for a line that starts with the same characters as those in the current line before the cursor. Indent is ignored. The matching line is inserted in front of the cursor. The 'complete' option is used to decide which buffers are searched for a match. Both loaded and unloaded buffers are used. CTRL-L or CTRL-P Search backwards for next matching line. This line replaces the previous matching line. CTRL-N Search forward for next matching line. This line replaces the previous matching line. CTRL-X CTRL-L After expanding a line you can additionally get the line next to it by typing CTRL-X CTRL-L again, unless a double CTRL-X is used. Only works for loaded buffers. Completing keywords in current file compl-current i_CTRL-X_CTRL-P i_CTRL-X_CTRL-N CTRL-X CTRL-N Search forwards for words that start with the keyword in front of the cursor. The found keyword is inserted in front of the cursor. CTRL-X CTRL-P Search backwards for words that start with the keyword in front of the cursor. The found keyword is inserted in front of the cursor. CTRL-N Search forward for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. CTRL-P Search backwards for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. CTRL-X CTRL-N or CTRL-X CTRL-P Further use of CTRL-X CTRL-N or CTRL-X CTRL-P will copy the words following the previous expansion in other contexts unless a double CTRL-X is used. If there is a keyword in front of the cursor (a name made out of alphabetic characters and characters in 'iskeyword'), it is used as the search pattern, with "\<" prepended (meaning: start of a word). Otherwise "\<\k\k" is used as search pattern (start of any keyword of at least two characters). In Replace mode, the number of characters that are replaced depends on the length of the matched string. This works like typing the characters of the matched string in Replace mode. If there is not a valid keyword character before the cursor, any keyword of at least two characters is matched. e.g., to get: printf("(%g, %g, %g)", vector[0], vector[1], vector[2]); just type: printf("(%g, %g, %g)", vector[0], ^P[1], ^P[2]); The search wraps around the end of the file, the value of 'wrapscan' is not used here. Multiple repeats of the same completion are skipped; thus a different match will be inserted at each CTRL-N and CTRL-P (unless there is only one matching keyword). Single character matches are never included, as they usually just get in the way of what you were really after. e.g., to get: printf("name = %s\n", name); just type: printf("name = %s\n", n^P); or even: printf("name = %s\n", ^P); The 'n' in '\n' is skipped. After expanding a word, you can use CTRL-X CTRL-P or CTRL-X CTRL-N to get the word following the expansion in other contexts. These sequences search for the text just expanded and further expand by getting an extra word. This is useful if you need to repeat a sequence of complicated words. Although CTRL-P and CTRL-N look just for strings of at least two characters, CTRL-X CTRL-P and CTRL-X CTRL-N can be used to expand words of just one character. e.g., to get: México you can type: M^N^P^X^P^X^P CTRL-N starts the expansion and then CTRL-P takes back the single character "M", the next two CTRL-X CTRL-P's get the words "&eacute" and ";xico". If the previous expansion was split, because it got longer than 'textwidth', then just the text in the current line will be used. If the match found is at the end of a line, then the first word in the next line will be inserted and the message "word from next line" displayed, if this word is accepted the next CTRL-X CTRL-P or CTRL-X CTRL-N will search for those lines starting with this word. Completing keywords in 'dictionary' compl-dictionary i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K CTRL-X CTRL-K Search the files given with the 'dictionary' option for words that start with the keyword in front of the cursor. This is like CTRL-N, but only the dictionary files are searched, not the current file. The found keyword is inserted in front of the cursor. This could potentially be pretty slow, since all matches are found before the first match is used. By default, the 'dictionary' option is empty. For suggestions where to find a list of words, see the 'dictionary' option. CTRL-K or CTRL-N Search forward for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. CTRL-P Search backwards for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. i_CTRL-X_CTRL-T CTRL-X CTRL-T Works as CTRL-X CTRL-K, but in a special way. It uses the 'thesaurus' option instead of 'dictionary'. If a match is found in the thesaurus file, all the remaining words on the same line are included as matches, even though they don't complete the word. Thus a word can be completely replaced. For an example, imagine the 'thesaurus' file has a line like this: > angry furious mad enraged < Placing the cursor after the letters "ang" and typing CTRL-X CTRL-T would complete the word "angry"; subsequent presses would change the word to "furious", "mad" etc. Other uses include translation between two languages, or grouping API functions by keyword. CTRL-T or CTRL-N Search forward for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. CTRL-P Search backwards for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. Completing keywords in the current and included files compl-keyword The 'include' option is used to specify a line that contains an include file name. The 'path' option is used to search for include files. i_CTRL-X_CTRL-I CTRL-X CTRL-I Search for the first keyword in the current and included files that starts with the same characters as those before the cursor. The matched keyword is inserted in front of the cursor. CTRL-N Search forwards for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. Note: CTRL-I is the same as <Tab>, which is likely to be typed after a successful completion, therefore CTRL-I is not used for searching for the next match. CTRL-P Search backward for previous matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. CTRL-X CTRL-I Further use of CTRL-X CTRL-I will copy the words following the previous expansion in other contexts unless a double CTRL-X is used. Completing tags compl-tag i_CTRL-X_CTRL-] CTRL-X CTRL-] Search for the first tag that starts with the same characters as before the cursor. The matching tag is inserted in front of the cursor. Alphabetic characters and characters in 'iskeyword' are used to decide which characters are included in the tag name (same as for a keyword). See also \|CTRL-]\|. The 'showfulltag' option can be used to add context from around the tag definition. CTRL-] or CTRL-N Search forwards for next matching tag. This tag replaces the previous matching tag. CTRL-P Search backward for previous matching tag. This tag replaces the previous matching tag. Completing file names compl-filename i_CTRL-X_CTRL-F CTRL-X CTRL-F Search for the first file name that starts with the same characters as before the cursor. The matching file name is inserted in front of the cursor. Alphabetic characters and characters in 'isfname' are used to decide which characters are included in the file name. Note: the 'path' option is not used here (yet). CTRL-F or CTRL-N Search forwards for next matching file name. This file name replaces the previous matching file name. CTRL-P Search backward for previous matching file name. This file name replaces the previous matching file name. Completing definitions or macros compl-define The 'define' option is used to specify a line that contains a definition. The 'include' option is used to specify a line that contains an include file name. The 'path' option is used to search for include files. i_CTRL-X_CTRL-D CTRL-X CTRL-D Search in the current and included files for the first definition (or macro) name that starts with the same characters as before the cursor. The found definition name is inserted in front of the cursor. CTRL-D or CTRL-N Search forwards for next matching macro name. This macro name replaces the previous matching macro name. CTRL-P Search backward for previous matching macro name. This macro name replaces the previous matching macro name. CTRL-X CTRL-D Further use of CTRL-X CTRL-D will copy the words following the previous expansion in other contexts unless a double CTRL-X is used. Completing Vim commands compl-vim Completion is context-sensitive. It works like on the Command-line. It completes an Ex command as well as its arguments. This is useful when writing a Vim script. i_CTRL-X_CTRL-V CTRL-X CTRL-V Guess what kind of item is in front of the cursor and find the first match for it. Note: When CTRL-V is mapped you can often use CTRL-Q instead of \|i_CTRL-Q\|. CTRL-V or CTRL-N Search forwards for next match. This match replaces the previous one. CTRL-P Search backwards for previous match. This match replaces the previous one. CTRL-X CTRL-V Further use of CTRL-X CTRL-V will do the same as CTRL-V. This allows mapping a key to do Vim command completion, for example: > :imap <Tab> <C-X><C-V> User defined completion compl-function Completion is done by a function that can be defined by the user with the 'completefunc' option. See below for how the function is called and an example \|complete-functions\|. i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U CTRL-X CTRL-U Guess what kind of item is in front of the cursor and find the first match for it. CTRL-U or CTRL-N Use the next match. This match replaces the previous one. CTRL-P Use the previous match. This match replaces the previous one. Omni completion compl-omni Completion is done by a function that can be defined by the user with the 'omnifunc' option. This is to be used for filetype-specific completion. See below for how the function is called and an example \|complete-functions\|. For remarks about specific filetypes see \|compl-omni-filetypes\|. More completion scripts will appear, check www.vim.org. Currently there is a first version for C++. i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O CTRL-X CTRL-O Guess what kind of item is in front of the cursor and find the first match for it. CTRL-O or CTRL-N Use the next match. This match replaces the previous one. CTRL-P Use the previous match. This match replaces the previous one. Spelling suggestions compl-spelling A word before or at the cursor is located and correctly spelled words are suggested to replace it. If there is a badly spelled word in the line, before or under the cursor, the cursor is moved to after it. Otherwise the word just before the cursor is used for suggestions, even though it isn't badly spelled. NOTE: CTRL-S suspends display in many Unix terminals. Use 's' instead. Type CTRL-Q to resume displaying. i_CTRL-X_CTRL-S i_CTRL-X_s CTRL-X CTRL-S or CTRL-X s Locate the word in front of the cursor and find the first spell suggestion for it. CTRL-S or CTRL-N Use the next suggestion. This replaces the previous one. Note that you can't use 's' here. CTRL-P Use the previous suggestion. This replaces the previous one. Completing keywords from different sources compl-generic i_CTRL-N CTRL-N Find next match for words that start with the keyword in front of the cursor, looking in places specified with the 'complete' option. The found keyword is inserted in front of the cursor. i_CTRL-P CTRL-P Find previous match for words that start with the keyword in front of the cursor, looking in places specified with the 'complete' option. The found keyword is inserted in front of the cursor. CTRL-N Search forward for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. CTRL-P Search backwards for next matching keyword. This keyword replaces the previous matching keyword. CTRL-X CTRL-N or CTRL-X CTRL-P Further use of CTRL-X CTRL-N or CTRL-X CTRL-P will copy the words following the previous expansion in other contexts unless a double CTRL-X is used. FUNCTIONS FOR FINDING COMPLETIONS complete-functions This applies to 'completefunc' and 'omnifunc'. The function is called in two different ways: - First the function is called to find the start of the text to be completed. - Later the function is called to actually find the matches. On the first invocation the arguments are: a:findstart 1 a:base empty The function must return the column where the completion starts. It must be a number between zero and the cursor column "col('.')". This involves looking at the characters just before the cursor and including those characters that could be part of the completed item. The text between this column and the cursor column will be replaced with the matches. If the returned value is larger than the cursor column, the cursor column is used. Negative return values: -2 To cancel silently and stay in completion mode. -3 To cancel silently and leave completion mode. Another negative value: completion starts at the cursor column On the second invocation the arguments are: a:findstart 0 a:base the text with which matches should match; the text that was located in the first call (can be empty) The function must return a List with the matching words. These matches usually include the "a:base" text. When there are no matches return an empty List. In order to return more information than the matching words, return a Dict that contains the List. The Dict can have these items: words The List of matching words (mandatory). refresh A string to control re-invocation of the function (optional). The only value currently recognized is "always", the effect is that the function is called whenever the leading text is changed. If you want to suppress the warning message for an empty result, return \|v:none\|. This is useful to implement asynchronous completion with \|complete()\|. Other items are ignored. For acting upon end of completion, see the \|CompleteDonePre\| and \|CompleteDone\| autocommand event. For example, the function can contain this: > let matches = ... list of words ... return {'words': matches, 'refresh': 'always'} < complete-items Each list item can either be a string or a Dictionary. When it is a string it is used as the completion. When it is a Dictionary it can contain these items: word the text that will be inserted, mandatory abbr abbreviation of "word"; when not empty it is used in the menu instead of "word" menu extra text for the popup menu, displayed after "word" or "abbr" info more information about the item, can be displayed in a preview or popup window kind single letter indicating the type of completion icase when non-zero case is to be ignored when comparing items to be equal; when omitted zero is used, thus items that only differ in case are added equal when non-zero, always treat this item to be equal when comparing. Which means, "equal=1" disables filtering of this item. dup when non-zero this match will be added even when an item with the same word is already present. empty when non-zero this match will be added even when it is an empty string user_data custom data which is associated with the item and available in \|v:completed_item\|; it can be any type; defaults to an empty string All of these except "icase", "equal", "dup" and "empty" must be a string. If an item does not meet these requirements then an error message is given and further items in the list are not used. You can mix string and Dictionary items in the returned list. The "menu" item is used in the popup menu and may be truncated, thus it should be relatively short. The "info" item can be longer, it will be displayed in the preview window when "preview" appears in 'completeopt' or in a popup window when "popup" appears in 'completeopt'. In the preview window the "info" item will also remain displayed after the popup menu has been removed. This is useful for function arguments. Use a single space for "info" to remove existing text in the preview window. The size of the preview window is three lines, but 'previewheight' is used when it has a value of 1 or 2. complete-popup When "popup" is in 'completeopt' a popup window is used to display the "info". Then the 'completepopup' option specifies the properties of the popup. This is used when the info popup is created. The option is a comma separated list of values: height maximum height of the popup width maximum width of the popup highlight highlight group of the popup (default is PmenuSel) align "item" (default) or "menu" border "on" (default) or "off" Example: > :set completepopup=height:10,width:60,highlight:InfoPopup When the "align" value is "item" then the popup is positioned close to the selected item. Changing the selection will also move the popup. When "align" is "menu" then the popup is aligned with the top of the menu if the menu is below the text, and the bottom of the menu otherwise. After the info popup is created it can be found with \|popup_findinfo()\| and properties can be changed with \|popup_setoptions()\|. complete-popuphidden If the information for the popup is obtained asynchronously, use "popuphidden" in 'completeopt'. The info popup will then be initially hidden and \|popup_show()\| must be called once it has been filled with the info. This can be done with a \|CompleteChanged\| autocommand, something like this: > set completeopt+=popuphidden au CompleteChanged * call UpdateCompleteInfo() func UpdateCompleteInfo() " Cancel any pending info fetch let item = v:event.completed_item " Start fetching info for the item then call ShowCompleteInfo(info) endfunc func ShowCompleteInfo(info) let id = popup_findinfo() if id call popup_settext(id, 'async info: ' .. a:info) call popup_show(id) endif endfunc < complete-item-kind The "kind" item uses a single letter to indicate the kind of completion. This may be used to show the completion differently (different color or icon). Currently these types can be used: v variable f function or method m member of a struct or class t typedef d #define or macro When searching for matches takes some time call \|complete_add()\| to add each match to the total list. These matches should then not appear in the returned list! Call \|complete_check()\| now and then to allow the user to press a key while still searching for matches. Stop searching when it returns non-zero. E839 E840 The function is allowed to move the cursor, it is restored afterwards. The function is not allowed to move to another window or delete text. An example that completes the names of the months: > fun! CompleteMonths(findstart, base) if a:findstart " locate the start of the word let line = getline('.') let start = col('.') - 1 while start > 0 && line[start - 1] =~ '\a' let start -= 1 endwhile return start else " find months matching with "a:base" let res = [] for m in split("Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec") if m =~ '^' . a:base call add(res, m) endif endfor return res endif endfun set completefunc=CompleteMonths < The same, but now pretending searching for matches is slow: > fun! CompleteMonths(findstart, base) if a:findstart " locate the start of the word let line = getline('.') let start = col('.') - 1 while start > 0 && line[start - 1] =~ '\a' let start -= 1 endwhile return start else " find months matching with "a:base" for m in split("Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec") if m =~ '^' . a:base call complete_add(m) endif sleep 300m " simulate searching for next match if complete_check() break endif endfor return [] endif endfun set completefunc=CompleteMonths < INSERT COMPLETION POPUP MENU ins-completion-menu popupmenu-completion Vim can display the matches in a simplistic popup menu. The menu is used when: - The 'completeopt' option contains "menu" or "menuone". - The terminal supports at least 8 colors. - There are at least two matches. One if "menuone" is used. The 'pumheight' option can be used to set a maximum height. The default is to use all space available. The 'pumwidth' option can be used to set a minimum width. The default is 15 characters. There are three states: 1. A complete match has been inserted, e.g., after using CTRL-N or CTRL-P. 2. A cursor key has been used to select another match. The match was not inserted then, only the entry in the popup menu is highlighted. 3. Only part of a match has been inserted and characters were typed or the backspace key was used. The list of matches was then adjusted for what is in front of the cursor. You normally start in the first state, with the first match being inserted. When "longest" is in 'completeopt' and there is more than one match you start in the third state. If you select another match, e.g., with CTRL-N or CTRL-P, you go to the first state. This doesn't change the list of matches. When you are back at the original text then you are in the third state. To get there right away you can use a mapping that uses CTRL-P right after starting the completion: > :imap <F7> <C-N><C-P> < popupmenu-keys In the first state these keys have a special meaning: <BS> and CTRL-H Delete one character, find the matches for the word before the cursor. This reduces the list of matches, often to one entry, and switches to the second state. Any non-special character: Stop completion without changing the match and insert the typed character. In the second and third state these keys have a special meaning: <BS> and CTRL-H Delete one character, find the matches for the shorter word before the cursor. This may find more matches. CTRL-L Add one character from the current match, may reduce the number of matches. any printable, non-white character: Add this character and reduce the number of matches. In all three states these can be used: CTRL-Y Yes: Accept the currently selected match and stop completion. CTRL-E End completion, go back to what was there before selecting a match (what was typed or longest common string). <PageUp> Select a match several entries back, but don't insert it. <PageDown> Select a match several entries further, but don't insert it. <Up> Select the previous match, as if CTRL-P was used, but don't insert it. <Down> Select the next match, as if CTRL-N was used, but don't insert it. <Space> or <Tab> Stop completion without changing the match and insert the typed character. The behavior of the <Enter> key depends on the state you are in: first state: Use the text as it is and insert a line break. second state: Insert the currently selected match. third state: Use the text as it is and insert a line break. In other words: If you used the cursor keys to select another entry in the list of matches then the <Enter> key inserts that match. If you typed something else then <Enter> inserts a line break. The colors of the menu can be changed with these highlight groups: Pmenu normal item \|hl-Pmenu\| PmenuSel selected item \|hl-PmenuSel\| PmenuSbar scrollbar \|hl-PmenuSbar\| PmenuThumb thumb of the scrollbar \|hl-PmenuThumb\| There are no special mappings for when the popup menu is visible. However, you can use an Insert mode mapping that checks the \|pumvisible()\| function to do something different. Example: > :inoremap <Down> <C-R>=pumvisible() ? "\<lt>C-N>" : "\<lt>Down>"<CR> You can use of <expr> in mapping to have the popup menu used when typing a character and some condition is met. For example, for typing a dot: > inoremap <expr> . MayComplete() func MayComplete() if (can complete) return ".\<C-X>\<C-O>" endif return '.' endfunc See \|:map-<expr>\| for more info. FILETYPE-SPECIFIC REMARKS FOR OMNI COMPLETION compl-omni-filetypes The file used for {filetype} should be autoload/{filetype}complete.vim in 'runtimepath'. Thus for "java" it is autoload/javacomplete.vim. C ft-c-omni Completion of C code requires a tags file. You should use Exuberant ctags, because it adds extra information that is needed for completion. You can find it here: http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ Version 5.6 or later is recommended. For version 5.5.4 you should add a patch that adds the "typename:" field: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unstable/patches/ctags-5.5.4.patch A compiled .exe for MS-Windows can be found at: http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags-win32 If you want to complete system functions you can do something like this. Use ctags to generate a tags file for all the system header files: > % ctags -R -f ~/.vim/systags /usr/include /usr/local/include In your vimrc file add this tags file to the 'tags' option: > set tags+=~/.vim/systags When using CTRL-X CTRL-O after a name without any "." or "->" it is completed from the tags file directly. This works for any identifier, also function names. If you want to complete a local variable name, which does not appear in the tags file, use CTRL-P instead. When using CTRL-X CTRL-O after something that has "." or "->" Vim will attempt to recognize the type of the variable and figure out what members it has. This means only members valid for the variable will be listed. When a member name already was complete, CTRL-X CTRL-O will add a "." or "->" for composite types. Vim doesn't include a C compiler, only the most obviously formatted declarations are recognized. Preprocessor stuff may cause confusion. When the same structure name appears in multiple places all possible members are included. CSS ft-css-omni Complete properties and their appropriate values according to CSS 2.1 specification. HTML ft-html-omni XHTML ft-xhtml-omni CTRL-X CTRL-O provides completion of various elements of (X)HTML files. It is designed to support writing of XHTML 1.0 Strict files but will also work for other versions of HTML. Features: - after "<" complete tag name depending on context (no div suggestion inside of an a tag); '/>' indicates empty tags - inside of tag complete proper attributes (no width attribute for an a tag); show also type of attribute; '' indicates required attributes - when attribute has limited number of possible values help to complete them - complete names of entities - complete values of "class" and "id" attributes with data obtained from <style> tag and included CSS files - when completing value of "style" attribute or working inside of "style" tag switch to \|ft-css-omni\| completion - when completing values of events attributes or working inside of "script" tag switch to \|ft-javascript-omni\| completion - when used after "</" CTRL-X CTRL-O will close the last opened tag Note: When used first time completion menu will be shown with little delay - this is time needed for loading of data file. Note: Completion may fail in badly formatted documents. In such case try to run \|:make\| command to detect formatting problems. HTML flavor html-flavor* The default HTML completion depends on the filetype. For HTML files it is HTML 4.01 Transitional ('filetype' is "html"), for XHTML it is XHTML 1.0 Strict ('filetype' is "xhtml"). When doing completion outside of any other tag you will have possibility to choose DOCTYPE and the appropriate data file will be loaded and used for all next completions. More about format of data file in \|xml-omni-datafile\|. Some of the data files may be found on the Vim website (\|www\|). Note that b:html_omni_flavor may point to a file with any XML data. This makes possible to mix PHP (\|ft-php-omni\|) completion with any XML dialect (assuming you have data file for it). Without setting that variable XHTML 1.0 Strict will be used. JAVASCRIPT ft-javascript-omni Completion of most elements of JavaScript language and DOM elements. Complete: - variables - function name; show function arguments - function arguments - properties of variables trying to detect type of variable - complete DOM objects and properties depending on context - keywords of language Completion works in separate JavaScript files (&ft==javascript), inside of <script> tag of (X)HTML and in values of event attributes (including scanning of external files). DOM compatibility At the moment (beginning of 2006) there are two main browsers - MS Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. These two applications are covering over 90% of market. Theoretically standards are created by W3C organisation (http://www.w3c.org) but they are not always followed/implemented. IE FF W3C Omni completion ~ +/- +/- + + ~ + + - + ~ + - - - ~ - + - - ~ Regardless from state of implementation in browsers but if element is defined in standards, completion plugin will place element in suggestion list. When both major engines implemented element, even if this is not in standards it will be suggested. All other elements are not placed in suggestion list. PHP ft-php-omni Completion of PHP code requires a tags file for completion of data from external files and for class aware completion. You should use Exuberant ctags version 5.5.4 or newer. You can find it here: http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ Script completes: - after $ variables name - if variable was declared as object add "->", if tags file is available show name of class - after "->" complete only function and variable names specific for given class. To find class location and contents tags file is required. Because PHP isn't strongly typed language user can use @var tag to declare class: > /* @var $myVar myClass / $myVar-> < Still, to find myClass contents tags file is required. - function names with additional info: - in case of built-in functions list of possible arguments and after \| type data returned by function - in case of user function arguments and name of file where function was defined (if it is not current file) - constants names - class names after "new" declaration Note: when doing completion first time Vim will load all necessary data into memory. It may take several seconds. After next use of completion delay should not be noticeable. Script detects if cursor is inside <?php ?> tags. If it is outside it will automatically switch to HTML/CSS/JavaScript completion. Note: contrary to original HTML files completion of tags (and only tags) isn't context aware. RUBY ft-ruby-omni* Completion of Ruby code requires that vim be built with \|+ruby\|. Ruby completion will parse your buffer on demand in order to provide a list of completions. These completions will be drawn from modules loaded by 'require' and modules defined in the current buffer. The completions provided by CTRL-X CTRL-O are sensitive to the context: CONTEXT COMPLETIONS PROVIDED ~ 1. Not inside a class definition Classes, constants and globals 2. Inside a class definition Methods or constants defined in the class 3. After '.', '::' or ':' Methods applicable to the object being dereferenced 4. After ':' or ':foo' Symbol name (beginning with 'foo') Notes: - Vim will load/evaluate code in order to provide completions. This may cause some code execution, which may be a concern. This is no longer enabled by default, to enable this feature add > let g:rubycomplete_buffer_loading = 1 <- In context 1 above, Vim can parse the entire buffer to add a list of classes to the completion results. This feature is turned off by default, to enable it add > let g:rubycomplete_classes_in_global = 1 < to your vimrc - In context 2 above, anonymous classes are not supported. - In context 3 above, Vim will attempt to determine the methods supported by the object. - Vim can detect and load the Rails environment for files within a rails project. The feature is disabled by default, to enable it add > let g:rubycomplete_rails = 1 < to your vimrc SYNTAX ft-syntax-omni Vim has the ability to color syntax highlight nearly 500 languages. Part of this highlighting includes knowing what keywords are part of a language. Many filetypes already have custom completion scripts written for them, the syntaxcomplete plugin provides basic completion for all other filetypes. It does this by populating the omni completion list with the text Vim already knows how to color highlight. It can be used for any filetype and provides a minimal language-sensitive completion. To enable syntax code completion you can run: > setlocal omnifunc=syntaxcomplete#Complete You can automate this by placing the following in your \|.vimrc\| (after any ":filetype" command): > if has("autocmd") && exists("+omnifunc") autocmd Filetype * \ if &omnifunc == "" \| \ setlocal omnifunc=syntaxcomplete#Complete \| \ endif endif The above will set completion to this script only if a specific plugin does not already exist for that filetype. Each filetype can have a wide range of syntax items. The plugin allows you to customize which syntax groups to include or exclude from the list. Let's have a look at the PHP filetype to see how this works. If you edit a file called, index.php, run the following command: > syntax list The first thing you will notice is that there are many different syntax groups. The PHP language can include elements from different languages like HTML, JavaScript and many more. The syntax plugin will only include syntax groups that begin with the filetype, "php", in this case. For example these syntax groups are included by default with the PHP: phpEnvVar, phpIntVar, phpFunctions. If you wish non-filetype syntax items to also be included, you can use a regular expression syntax (added in version 13.0 of autoload/syntaxcomplete.vim) to add items. Looking at the output from ":syntax list" while editing a PHP file I can see some of these entries: > htmlArg,htmlTag,htmlTagName,javaScriptStatement,javaScriptGlobalObjects To pick up any JavaScript and HTML keyword syntax groups while editing a PHP file, you can use 3 different regexs, one for each language. Or you can simply restrict the include groups to a particular value, without using a regex string: > let g:omni_syntax_group_include_php = 'php\w\+,javaScript\w\+,html\w\+' let g:omni_syntax_group_include_php = 'phpFunctions,phpMethods' < The basic form of this variable is: > let g:omni_syntax_group_include_{filetype} = 'regex,comma,separated' The PHP language has an enormous number of items which it knows how to syntax highlight. These items will be available within the omni completion list. Some people may find this list unwieldy or are only interested in certain items. There are two ways to prune this list (if necessary). If you find certain syntax groups you do not wish displayed you can use two different methods to identify these groups. The first specifically lists the syntax groups by name. The second uses a regular expression to identify both syntax groups. Simply add one the following to your vimrc: > let g:omni_syntax_group_exclude_php = 'phpCoreConstant,phpConstant' let g:omni_syntax_group_exclude_php = 'php\wConstant' Add as many syntax groups to this list by comma separating them. The basic form of this variable is: > let g:omni_syntax_group_exclude_{filetype} = 'regex,comma,separated' You can create as many of these variables as you need, varying only the filetype at the end of the variable name. The plugin uses the isKeyword option to determine where word boundaries are for the syntax items. For example, in the Scheme language completion should include the "-", call-with-output-file. Depending on your filetype, this may not provide the words you are expecting. Setting the g:omni_syntax_use_iskeyword option to 0 will force the syntax plugin to break on word characters. This can be controlled adding the following to your vimrc: > let g:omni_syntax_use_iskeyword = 0 For plugin developers, the plugin exposes a public function OmniSyntaxList. This function can be used to request a List of syntax items. When editing a SQL file (:e syntax.sql) you can use the ":syntax list" command to see the various groups and syntax items. For example: > syntax list Yields data similar to this: sqlOperator xxx some prior all like and any escape exists in is not ~ or intersect minus between distinct ~ links to Operator ~ sqlType xxx varbit varchar nvarchar bigint int uniqueidentifier ~ date money long tinyint unsigned xml text smalldate ~ double datetime nchar smallint numeric time bit char ~ varbinary binary smallmoney ~ image float integer timestamp real decimal ~ There are two syntax groups listed here: sqlOperator and sqlType. To retrieve a List of syntax items you can call OmniSyntaxList a number of different ways. To retrieve all syntax items regardless of syntax group: > echo OmniSyntaxList( [] ) To retrieve only the syntax items for the sqlOperator syntax group: > echo OmniSyntaxList( ['sqlOperator'] ) To retrieve all syntax items for both the sqlOperator and sqlType groups: > echo OmniSyntaxList( ['sqlOperator', 'sqlType'] ) A regular expression can also be used: > echo OmniSyntaxList( ['sql\w\+'] ) From within a plugin, you would typically assign the output to a List: > let myKeywords = [] let myKeywords = OmniSyntaxList( ['sqlKeyword'] ) SQL ft-sql-omni* Completion for the SQL language includes statements, functions, keywords. It will also dynamically complete tables, procedures, views and column lists with data pulled directly from within a database. For detailed instructions and a tutorial see \|omni-sql-completion\|. The SQL completion plugin can be used in conjunction with other completion plugins. For example, the PHP filetype has its own completion plugin. Since PHP is often used to generate dynamic website by accessing a database, the SQL completion plugin can also be enabled. This allows you to complete PHP code and SQL code at the same time. XML ft-xml-omni Vim 7 provides a mechanism for context aware completion of XML files. It depends on a special \|xml-omni-datafile\| and two commands: \|:XMLns\| and \|:XMLent\|. Features are: - after "<" complete the tag name, depending on context - inside of a tag complete proper attributes - when an attribute has a limited number of possible values help to complete them - complete names of entities (defined in \|xml-omni-datafile\| and in the current file with "<!ENTITY" declarations) - when used after "</" CTRL-X CTRL-O will close the last opened tag Format of XML data file xml-omni-datafile XML data files are stored in the "autoload/xml" directory in 'runtimepath'. Vim distribution provides examples of data files in the "$VIMRUNTIME/autoload/xml" directory. They have a meaningful name which will be used in commands. It should be a unique name which will not create conflicts. For example, the name xhtml10s.vim means it is the data file for XHTML 1.0 Strict. Each file contains a variable with a name like g:xmldata_xhtml10s . It is a compound from two parts: 1. "g:xmldata_" general prefix, constant for all data files 2. "xhtml10s" the name of the file and the name of the described XML dialect; it will be used as an argument for the \|:XMLns\| command Part two must be exactly the same as name of file. The variable is a \|Dictionary\|. Keys are tag names and each value is a two element \|List\|. The first element of the List is also a List with the names of possible children. The second element is a \|Dictionary\| with the names of attributes as keys and the possible values of attributes as values. Example: > let g:xmldata_crippled = { \ "vimxmlentities": ["amp", "lt", "gt", "apos", "quot"], \ 'vimxmlroot': ['tag1'], \ 'tag1': \ [ ['childoftag1a', 'childoftag1b'], {'attroftag1a': [], \ 'attroftag1b': ['valueofattr1', 'valueofattr2']}], \ 'childoftag1a': \ [ [], {'attrofchild': ['attrofchild']}], \ 'childoftag1b': \ [ ['childoftag1a'], {'attrofchild': []}], \ "vimxmltaginfo": { \ 'tag1': ['Menu info', 'Long information visible in preview window']}, \ 'vimxmlattrinfo': { \ 'attrofchild': ['Menu info', 'Long information visible in preview window']}} This example would be put in the "autoload/xml/crippled.vim" file and could help to write this file: > <tag1 attroftag1b="valueofattr1"> <childoftag1a attrofchild> & < </childoftag1a> <childoftag1b attrofchild="5"> <childoftag1a> > ' " </childoftag1a> </childoftag1b> </tag1> In the example four special elements are visible: 1. "vimxmlentities" - a special key with List containing entities of this XML dialect. 2. If the list containing possible values of attributes has one element and this element is equal to the name of the attribute this attribute will be treated as boolean and inserted as 'attrname' and not as 'attrname="' 3. "vimxmltaginfo" - a special key with a Dictionary containing tag names as keys and two element List as values, for additional menu info and the long description. 4. "vimxmlattrinfo" - special key with Dictionary containing attribute names as keys and two element List as values, for additional menu info and long description. Note: Tag names in the data file MUST not contain a namespace description. Check xsl.vim for an example. Note: All data and functions are publicly available as global variables/functions and can be used for personal editing functions. DTD -> Vim dtd2vim On \|www\| is the script \|dtd2vim\| which parses DTD and creates an XML data file for Vim XML omni completion. dtd2vim: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1462 Check the beginning of that file for usage details. The script requires perl and: perlSGML: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/perlsgml Commands :XMLns {name} [{namespace}] :XMLns Vim has to know which data file should be used and with which namespace. For loading of the data file and connecting data with the proper namespace use \|:XMLns\| command. The first (obligatory) argument is the name of the data (xhtml10s, xsl). The second argument is the code of namespace (h, xsl). When used without a second argument the dialect will be used as default - without namespace declaration. For example to use XML completion in .xsl files: > :XMLns xhtml10s :XMLns xsl xsl :XMLent {name} :XMLent By default entities will be completed from the data file of the default namespace. The XMLent command should be used in case when there is no default namespace: > :XMLent xhtml10s Usage While used in this situation (after declarations from previous part, \| is cursor position): > <\| Will complete to an appropriate XHTML tag, and in this situation: > <xsl:\| Will complete to an appropriate XSL tag. The script xmlcomplete.vim, provided through the \|autoload\| mechanism, has the xmlcomplete#GetLastOpenTag() function which can be used in XML files to get the name of the last open tag (b:unaryTagsStack has to be defined): > :echo xmlcomplete#GetLastOpenTag("b:unaryTagsStack") ============================================================================== 8. Insert mode commands inserting The following commands can be used to insert new text into the buffer. They can all be undone and repeated with the "." command. a a Append text after the cursor [count] times. If the cursor is in the first column of an empty line Insert starts there. But not when 'virtualedit' is set! A A Append text at the end of the line [count] times. For using "A" in Visual block mode see \|v_b_A\|. <insert> or i insert <Insert> i Insert text before the cursor [count] times. When using CTRL-O in Insert mode \|i_CTRL-O\| the count is not supported. I I Insert text before the first non-blank in the line [count] times. When the 'H' flag is present in 'cpoptions' and the line only contains blanks, insert start just before the last blank. For using "I" in Visual block mode see \|v_b_I\|. gI gI Insert text in column 1 [count] times. gi gi Insert text in the same position as where Insert mode was stopped last time in the current buffer. This uses the \|'^\| mark. It's different from "`^i" when the mark is past the end of the line. The position is corrected for inserted/deleted lines, but NOT for inserted/deleted characters. When the \|:keepjumps\| command modifier is used the \|'^\| mark won't be changed. o o Begin a new line below the cursor and insert text, repeat [count] times. When the '#' flag is in 'cpoptions' the count is ignored. O O Begin a new line above the cursor and insert text, repeat [count] times. When the '#' flag is in 'cpoptions' the count is ignored. These commands are used to start inserting text. You can end insert mode with <Esc>. See \|mode-ins-repl\| for the other special characters in Insert mode. The effect of [count] takes place after Insert mode is exited. When 'autoindent' is on, the indent for a new line is obtained from the previous line. When 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is on, the indent for a line is automatically adjusted for C programs. 'textwidth' can be set to the maximum width for a line. When a line becomes too long when appending characters a line break is automatically inserted. ============================================================================== 9. Ex insert commands inserting-ex :a :append :{range}a[ppend][!] Insert several lines of text below the specified line. If the {range} is missing, the text will be inserted after the current line. Adding [!] toggles 'autoindent' for the time this command is executed. :i :in :insert :{range}i[nsert][!] Insert several lines of text above the specified line. If the {range} is missing, the text will be inserted before the current line. Adding [!] toggles 'autoindent' for the time this command is executed. These two commands will keep on asking for lines, until you type a line containing only a ".". Watch out for lines starting with a backslash, see \|line-continuation\|. When in Ex mode (see \|-e\|) a backslash at the end of the line can be used to insert a NUL character. To be able to have a line ending in a backslash use two backslashes. This means that the number of backslashes is halved, but only at the end of the line. NOTE: These commands cannot be used with \|:global\| or \|:vglobal\|. ":append" and ":insert" don't work properly in between ":if" and ":endif", ":for" and ":endfor", ":while" and ":endwhile". :start :startinsert :star[tinsert][!] Start Insert mode just after executing this command. Works like typing "i" in Normal mode. When the ! is included it works like "A", append to the line. Otherwise insertion starts at the cursor position. Note that when using this command in a function or script, the insertion only starts after the function or script is finished. This command does not work from \|:normal\|. :stopi :stopinsert :stopi[nsert] Stop Insert mode as soon as possible. Works like typing <Esc> in Insert mode. Can be used in an autocommand, example: > :au BufEnter scratch stopinsert < replacing-ex :startreplace :startr[eplace][!] Start Replace mode just after executing this command. Works just like typing "R" in Normal mode. When the ! is included it acts just like "$R" had been typed (ie. begin replace mode at the end-of-line). Other- wise replacement begins at the cursor position. Note that when using this command in a function or script that the replacement will only start after the function or script is finished. :startgreplace :startg[replace][!] Just like \|:startreplace\|, but use Virtual Replace mode, like with \|gR\|. ============================================================================== 10. Inserting a file inserting-file :r :re :read :r[ead] [++opt] [name] Insert the file [name] (default: current file) below the cursor. See \|++opt\| for the possible values of [++opt]. :{range}r[ead] [++opt] [name] Insert the file [name] (default: current file) below the specified line. See \|++opt\| for the possible values of [++opt]. :r! :read! :[range]r[ead] [++opt] !{cmd} Execute {cmd} and insert its standard output below the cursor or the specified line. A temporary file is used to store the output of the command which is then read into the buffer. 'shellredir' is used to save the output of the command, which can be set to include stderr or not. {cmd} is executed like with ":!{cmd}", any '!' is replaced with the previous command \|:!\|. See \|++opt\| for the possible values of [++opt]. These commands insert the contents of a file, or the output of a command, into the buffer. They can be undone. They cannot be repeated with the "." command. They work on a line basis, insertion starts below the line in which the cursor is, or below the specified line. To insert text above the first line use the command ":0r {name}". After the ":read" command, the cursor is left on the first non-blank in the first new line. Unless in Ex mode, then the cursor is left on the last new line (sorry, this is Vi compatible). If a file name is given with ":r", it becomes the alternate file. This can be used, for example, when you want to edit that file instead: ":e! #". This can be switched off by removing the 'a' flag from the 'cpoptions' option. Of the [++opt] arguments one is specifically for ":read", the ++edit argument. This is useful when the ":read" command is actually used to read a file into the buffer as if editing that file. Use this command in an empty buffer: > :read ++edit filename The effect is that the 'fileformat', 'fileencoding', 'bomb', etc. options are set to what has been detected for "filename". Note that a single empty line remains, you may want to delete it. file-read The 'fileformat' option sets the <EOL> style for a file: 'fileformat' characters name ~ "dos" <CR><NL> or <NL> DOS format "unix" <NL> Unix format "mac" <CR> Mac format Previously 'textmode' was used. It is obsolete now. If 'fileformat' is "dos", a <CR> in front of an <NL> is ignored and a CTRL-Z at the end of the file is ignored. If 'fileformat' is "mac", a <NL> in the file is internally represented by a <CR>. This is to avoid confusion with a <NL> which is used to represent a <NUL>. See \|CR-used-for-NL\|. If the 'fileformats' option is not empty Vim tries to recognize the type of <EOL> (see \|file-formats\|). However, the 'fileformat' option will not be changed, the detected format is only used while reading the file. A similar thing happens with 'fileencodings'. On non-Win32 systems the message "[dos format]" is shown if a file is read in DOS format, to remind you that something unusual is done. On Macintosh and Win32 the message "[unix format]" is shown if a file is read in Unix format. On non-Macintosh systems, the message "[mac format]" is shown if a file is read in Mac format. An example on how to use ":r !": > :r !uuencode binfile binfile This command reads "binfile", uuencodes it and reads it into the current buffer. Useful when you are editing e-mail and want to include a binary file. read-messages When reading a file Vim will display a message with information about the read file. In the table is an explanation for some of the items. The others are self explanatory. Using the long or the short version depends on the 'shortmess' option. long short meaning ~ [readonly] {RO} the file is write protected [fifo/socket] using a stream [fifo] using a fifo stream [socket] using a socket stream [CR missing] reading with "dos" 'fileformat' and a NL without a preceding CR was found.

The window contents \|window-contents\| 8. Definitions \|definitions\| ============================================================================== 1. Introduction intro Vim stands for Vi IMproved. It used to be Vi IMitation, but there are so many improvements that a name change was appropriate. Vim is a text editor which includes almost all the commands from the Unix program "Vi" and a lot of new ones. It is very useful for editing programs and other plain text. All commands are given with the keyboard. This has the advantage that you can keep your fingers on the keyboard and your eyes on the screen. For those who want it, there is mouse support and a GUI version with scrollbars and menus (see \|gui.txt\|). An overview of this manual can be found in the file "help.txt", \|help.txt\|. It can be accessed from within Vim with the <Help> or <F1> key and with the \|:help\| command (just type ":help", without the bars or quotes). The 'helpfile' option can be set to the name of the help file, in case it is not located in the default place. You can jump to subjects like with tags: Use CTRL-] to jump to a subject under the cursor, use CTRL-T to jump back. The differences between Vi and Vim are mentioned in \|vi_diff.txt\|. This manual refers to Vim on various machines. There may be small differences between different computers and terminals. Besides the remarks given in this document, there is a separate document for each supported system, see \|sys-file-list\|. pronounce Vim is pronounced as one word, like Jim, not vi-ai-em. It's written with a capital, since it's a name, again like Jim. This manual is a reference for all the Vim commands and options. This is not an introduction to the use of Vi or Vim, it gets a bit complicated here and there. For beginners, there is a hands-on \|tutor\|. To learn using Vim, read the user manual \|usr_toc.txt\|. book books Most books on Vi and Vim contain a section for beginners. Others are spending more words on specific functionality. You can find an overview of Vim books here: http://iccf-holland.org/vim_books.html ============================================================================== 2.

Search this if you have questions. - You can only send messages to these lists if you have subscribed! - The first message is moderated, thus it may take a few hours to show up. - You need to send the messages from the same location as where you subscribed from (to avoid spam mail). subscribe-maillist If you want to join, send a message to <vim-subscribe@vim.org> Make sure that your "From:" address is correct. Then the list server will give you help on how to subscribe. maillist-archive For more information and archives look on the Vim maillist page: http://www.vim.org/maillist.php Bug reports: bugs bug-reports bugreport.vim There are three ways to report bugs: 1. Open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues The text will be forwarded to the vim-dev maillist. 2. For issues with runtime files, look in the header for an email address or any other way to report it to the maintainer. 3. Send bug reports to: Vim Developers <vim-dev@vim.org> This is a maillist, you need to become a member first and many people will see the message. If you don't want that, e.g. because it is a security issue, send it to <bugs@vim.org>, this only goes to the Vim maintainer (that's Bram). Please be brief; all the time that is spent on answering mail is subtracted from the time that is spent on improving Vim! Always give a reproducible example and try to find out which settings or other things trigger the bug. Preferably start Vim with: > vim --clean -u reproduce.vim Where reproduce.vim is a script that reproduces the problem. Try different machines, if relevant (is this an MS-Windows specific bug perhaps?). Send me patches if you can! If you create a pull request on https://github.com/vim/vim then the automated checks will run and report any obvious problems. But you can also send the patch by email (use an attachment to avoid white space changes). It will help to include information about the version of Vim you are using and your setup. You can get the information with this command: > :so $VIMRUNTIME/bugreport.vim This will create a file "bugreport.txt" in the current directory, with a lot of information of your environment. Before sending this out, check if it doesn't contain any confidential information! If Vim crashes, please try to find out where. You can find help on this here: \|debug.txt\|. In case of doubt or when you wonder if the problem has already been fixed but you can't find a fix for it, become a member of the vim-dev maillist and ask your question there. \|maillist\| year-2000 Y2K Since Vim internally doesn't use dates for editing, there is no year 2000 problem to worry about. Vim does use the time in the form of seconds since January 1st 1970. It is used for a time-stamp check of the edited file and the swap file, which is not critical and should only cause warning messages. There might be a year 2038 problem, when the seconds don't fit in a 32 bit int anymore. This depends on the compiler, libraries and operating system. Specifically, time_t and the ctime() function are used. And the time_t is stored in four bytes in the swap file. But that's only used for printing a file date/time for recovery, it will never affect normal editing. The Vim strftime() function directly uses the strftime() system function. localtime() uses the time() system function. getftime() uses the time returned by the stat() system function. If your system libraries are year 2000 compliant, Vim is too. The user may create scripts for Vim that use external commands. These might introduce Y2K problems, but those are not really part of Vim itself. ============================================================================== 3.

The list is too long to mention them all here. Vim would not be the same without the ideas from all these people: They keep Vim alive! love peace friendship gross-national-happiness In this documentation there are several references to other versions of Vi: Vi vi Vi "the original". Without further remarks this is the version of Vi that appeared in Sun OS 4.x. ":version" returns "Version 3.7, 6/7/85". Sometimes other versions are referred to. Only runs under Unix. Source code is now available under a BSD-style license. More information on Vi can be found through: http://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/ Posix Posix From the IEEE standard 1003.2, Part 2: Shell and utilities. Generally known as "Posix". This is a textual description of how Vi is supposed to work. See \|posix-compliance\|. Nvi Nvi The "New" Vi. The version of Vi that comes with BSD 4.4 and FreeBSD. Very good compatibility with the original Vi, with a few extensions. The version used is 1.79. ":version" returns "Version 1.79 (10/23/96)". There has been no release the last few years, although there is a development version 1.81. Source code is freely available. Elvis Elvis Another Vi clone, made by Steve Kirkendall. Very compact but isn't as flexible as Vim. Development has stalled, Elvis has left the building! Source code is freely available. Neovim Neovim A Vim clone. Forked the Vim source in 2014 and went a different way. Very much bound to github and has many more dependencies, making development more complex and limiting portability. Code has been refactored, resulting in patches not being exchangeable with Vim. Supports a remote GUI and integration with scripting languages. ============================================================================== 4. Notation notation When syntax highlighting is used to read this, text that is not typed literally is often highlighted with the Special group. These are items in [], {} and <>, and CTRL-X. Note that Vim uses all possible characters in commands. Sometimes the [], {} and <> are part of what you type, the context should make this clear. [] Characters in square brackets are optional. count [count] [count] An optional number that may precede the command to multiply or iterate the command. If no number is given, a count of one is used, unless otherwise noted. Note that in this manual the [count] is not mentioned in the description of the command, but only in the explanation. This was done to make the commands easier to look up. If the 'showcmd' option is on, the (partially) entered count is shown at the bottom of the window. You can use <Del> to erase the last digit (\|N<Del>\|). [quotex] ["x] An optional register designation where text can be stored. See \|registers\|. The x is a single character between 'a' and 'z' or 'A' and 'Z' or '"', and in some cases (with the put command) between '0' and '9', '%', '#', or others. The uppercase and lowercase letter designate the same register, but the lowercase letter is used to overwrite the previous register contents, while the uppercase letter is used to append to the previous register contents. Without the ""x" or with """" the stored text is put into the unnamed register. {} {} Curly braces denote parts of the command which must appear, but which can take a number of different values. The differences between Vim and Vi are also given in curly braces (this will be clear from the context). {char1-char2} {char1-char2} A single character from the range char1 to char2. For example: {a-z} is a lowercase letter. Multiple ranges may be concatenated. For example, {a-zA-Z0-9} is any alphanumeric character. {motion} movement {motion} A command that moves the cursor. These are explained in \|motion.txt\|. Examples: w to start of next word b to begin of current word 4j four lines down /The<CR> to next occurrence of "The" This is used after an \|operator\| command to move over the text that is to be operated upon. - If the motion includes a count and the operator also has a count, the two counts are multiplied. For example: "2d3w" deletes six words. - The motion can be backwards, e.g. "db" to delete to the start of the word. - The motion can also be a mouse click. The mouse is not supported in every terminal though. - The ":omap" command can be used to map characters while an operator is pending. - Ex commands can be used to move the cursor. This can be used to call a function that does some complicated motion. The motion is always characterwise exclusive, no matter what ":" command is used. This means it's impossible to include the last character of a line without the line break (unless 'virtualedit' is set). If the Ex command changes the text before where the operator starts or jumps to another buffer the result is unpredictable. It is possible to change the text further down. Jumping to another buffer is possible if the current buffer is not unloaded. {Visual} {Visual} A selected text area. It is started with the "v", "V", or CTRL-V command, then any cursor movement command can be used to change the end of the selected text. This is used before an \|operator\| command to highlight the text that is to be operated upon. See \|Visual-mode\|. <character> <character> A special character from the table below, optionally with modifiers, or a single ASCII character with modifiers. 'character' 'c' A single ASCII character. CTRL-{char} CTRL-{char} {char} typed as a control character; that is, typing {char} while holding the CTRL key down. The case of {char} does not matter; thus CTRL-A and CTRL-a are equivalent. But on some terminals, using the SHIFT key will produce another code, don't use it then. 'option' 'option' An option, or parameter, that can be set to a value, is enclosed in single quotes. See \|options\|. quotecommandquote "command" A reference to a command that you can type is enclosed in double quotes. `command` New style command, this distinguishes it from other quoted text and strings. key-notation key-codes keycodes These names for keys are used in the documentation. They can also be used with the ":map" command (insert the key name by pressing CTRL-K and then the key you want the name for). notation meaning equivalent decimal value(s) ~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <Nul> zero CTRL-@ 0 (stored as 10) <Nul> <BS> backspace CTRL-H 8 backspace <Tab> tab CTRL-I 9 tab Tab linefeed <NL> linefeed CTRL-J 10 (used for <Nul>) <FF> formfeed CTRL-L 12 formfeed <CR> carriage return CTRL-M 13 carriage-return <Return> same as <CR> <Return> <Enter> same as <CR> <Enter> <Esc> escape CTRL-[ 27 escape <Esc> <Space> space 32 space <lt> less-than < 60 <lt> <Bslash> backslash \ 92 backslash <Bslash> <Bar> vertical bar \| 124 <Bar> <Del> delete 127 <CSI> command sequence intro ALT-Esc 155 <CSI> <xCSI> CSI when typed in the GUI <xCSI> <EOL> end-of-line (can be <CR>, <NL> or <CR><NL>, depends on system and 'fileformat') <EOL> <Up> cursor-up cursor-up cursor_up <Down> cursor-down cursor-down cursor_down <Left> cursor-left cursor-left cursor_left <Right> cursor-right cursor-right cursor_right <S-Up> shift-cursor-up <S-Down> shift-cursor-down <S-Left> shift-cursor-left <S-Right> shift-cursor-right <C-Left> control-cursor-left <C-Right> control-cursor-right <F1> - <F12> function keys 1 to 12 function_key function-key <S-F1> - <S-F12> shift-function keys 1 to 12 <S-F1> <Help> help key <Undo> undo key <Insert> insert key <Home> home home <End> end end <PageUp> page-up page_up page-up <PageDown> page-down page_down page-down <kHome> keypad home (upper left) keypad-home <kEnd> keypad end (lower left) keypad-end <kPageUp> keypad page-up (upper right) keypad-page-up <kPageDown> keypad page-down (lower right) keypad-page-down <kPlus> keypad + keypad-plus <kMinus> keypad - keypad-minus <kMultiply> keypad * keypad-multiply <kDivide> keypad / keypad-divide <kEnter> keypad Enter keypad-enter <kPoint> keypad Decimal point keypad-point <k0> - <k9> keypad 0 to 9 keypad-0 keypad-9 <S-...> shift-key shift <S- <C-...> control-key control ctrl <C- <M-...> alt-key or meta-key meta alt <M- <A-...> same as <M-...> <A- <D-...> command-key (Macintosh only) <D- <t_xx> key with "xx" entry in termcap ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: The shifted cursor keys, the help key, and the undo key are only available on a few terminals. On the Amiga, shifted function key 10 produces a code (CSI) that is also used by key sequences. It will be recognized only after typing another key. Note: There are two codes for the delete key. 127 is the decimal ASCII value for the delete key, which is always recognized. Some delete keys send another value, in which case this value is obtained from the termcap entry "kD". Both values have the same effect. Also see \|:fixdel\|. Note: The keypad keys are used in the same way as the corresponding "normal" keys. For example, <kHome> has the same effect as <Home>. If a keypad key sends the same raw key code as its non-keypad equivalent, it will be recognized as the non-keypad code. For example, when <kHome> sends the same code as <Home>, when pressing <kHome> Vim will think <Home> was pressed. Mapping <kHome> will not work then. <> Examples are often given in the <> notation. Sometimes this is just to make clear what you need to type, but often it can be typed literally, e.g., with the ":map" command. The rules are: 1. Any printable characters are typed directly, except backslash and '<' 2. A backslash is represented with "\\", double backslash, or "<Bslash>". 3. A real '<' is represented with "\<" or "<lt>". When there is no confusion possible, a '<' can be used directly. 4. "<key>" means the special key typed. This is the notation explained in the table above. A few examples: <Esc> Escape key <C-G> CTRL-G <Up> cursor up key <C-LeftMouse> Control- left mouse click <S-F11> Shifted function key 11 <M-a> Meta- a ('a' with bit 8 set) <M-A> Meta- A ('A' with bit 8 set) <t_kd> "kd" termcap entry (cursor down key) Although you can specify <M-{char}> with {char} being a multibyte character, Vim may not be able to know what byte sequence that is and then it won't work. If you want to use the full <> notation in Vim, you have to make sure the '<' flag is excluded from 'cpoptions' (when 'compatible' is not set, it already is by default). > :set cpo-=< The <> notation uses <lt> to escape the special meaning of key names. Using a backslash also works, but only when 'cpoptions' does not include the 'B' flag. Examples for mapping CTRL-H to the six characters "<Home>": > :imap <C-H> \<Home> :imap <C-H> <lt>Home> The first one only works when the 'B' flag is not in 'cpoptions'. The second one always works. To get a literal "<lt>" in a mapping: > :map <C-L> <lt>lt> For mapping, abbreviation and menu commands you can then copy-paste the examples and use them directly. Or type them literally, including the '<' and '>' characters. This does NOT work for other commands, like ":set" and ":autocmd"! ============================================================================== 5. Modes, introduction vim-modes-intro vim-modes Vim has seven BASIC modes: Normal Normal-mode command-mode Normal mode In Normal mode you can enter all the normal editor commands. If you start the editor you are in this mode (unless you have set the 'insertmode' option, see below). This is also known as command mode. Visual mode This is like Normal mode, but the movement commands extend a highlighted area. When a non-movement command is used, it is executed for the highlighted area. See \|Visual-mode\|. If the 'showmode' option is on "-- VISUAL --" is shown at the bottom of the window. Select mode This looks most like the MS-Windows selection mode. Typing a printable character deletes the selection and starts Insert mode. See \|Select-mode\|. If the 'showmode' option is on "-- SELECT --" is shown at the bottom of the window. Insert mode In Insert mode the text you type is inserted into the buffer. See \|Insert-mode\|. If the 'showmode' option is on "-- INSERT --" is shown at the bottom of the window. Command-line mode In Command-line mode (also called Cmdline mode) you Cmdline mode can enter one line of text at the bottom of the window. This is for the Ex commands, ":", the pattern search commands, "?" and "/", and the filter command, "!". \|Cmdline-mode\| Ex mode Like Command-line mode, but after entering a command you remain in Ex mode. Very limited editing of the command line. \|Ex-mode\| Terminal-Job mode Interacting with a job in a terminal window. Typed keys go to the job and the job output is displayed in the terminal window. See \|terminal\| about how to switch to other modes. There are seven ADDITIONAL modes. These are variants of the BASIC modes: Operator-pending Operator-pending-mode Operator-pending mode This is like Normal mode, but after an operator command has started, and Vim is waiting for a {motion} to specify the text that the operator will work on. Replace mode Replace mode is a special case of Insert mode. You can do the same things as in Insert mode, but for each character you enter, one character of the existing text is deleted. See \|Replace-mode\|. If the 'showmode' option is on "-- REPLACE --" is shown at the bottom of the window. Virtual Replace mode Virtual Replace mode is similar to Replace mode, but instead of file characters you are replacing screen real estate. See \|Virtual-Replace-mode\|. If the 'showmode' option is on "-- VREPLACE --" is shown at the bottom of the window. Insert Normal mode Entered when CTRL-O is typed in Insert mode (see \|i_CTRL-O\|). This is like Normal mode, but after executing one command Vim returns to Insert mode. If the 'showmode' option is on "-- (insert) --" is shown at the bottom of the window. Terminal-Normal mode Using Normal mode in a terminal window. Making changes is impossible. Use an insert command, such as "a" or "i", to return to Terminal-Job mode. Insert Visual mode Entered when starting a Visual selection from Insert mode, e.g., by using CTRL-O and then "v", "V" or CTRL-V. When the Visual selection ends, Vim returns to Insert mode. If the 'showmode' option is on "-- (insert) VISUAL --" is shown at the bottom of the window. Insert Select mode Entered when starting Select mode from Insert mode. E.g., by dragging the mouse or <S-Right>. When the Select mode ends, Vim returns to Insert mode. If the 'showmode' option is on "-- (insert) SELECT --" is shown at the bottom of the window. ============================================================================== 6. Switching from mode to mode mode-switching If for any reason you do not know which mode you are in, you can always get back to Normal mode by typing <Esc> twice. This doesn't work for Ex mode though, use ":visual". You will know you are back in Normal mode when you see the screen flash or hear the bell after you type <Esc>. However, when pressing <Esc> after using CTRL-O in Insert mode you get a beep but you are still in Insert mode, type <Esc> again. i_esc TO mode ~ Normal Visual Select Insert Replace Cmd-line Ex ~ FROM mode ~ Normal v V ^V 4 1 R gR : / ? ! Q Visual 2 ^G c C -- : -- Select 5 ^O ^G 6 -- -- -- Insert <Esc> -- -- <Insert> -- -- Replace <Esc> -- -- <Insert> -- -- Command-line 3 -- -- :start -- -- Ex :vi -- -- -- -- -- -- not possible 1 Go from Normal mode to Insert mode by giving the command "i", "I", "a", "A", "o", "O", "c", "C", "s" or S". 2 Go from Visual mode to Normal mode by giving a non-movement command, which causes the command to be executed, or by hitting <Esc> "v", "V" or "CTRL-V" (see \|v_v\|), which just stops Visual mode without side effects. 3 Go from Command-line mode to Normal mode by: - Hitting <CR> or <NL>, which causes the entered command to be executed. - Deleting the complete line (e.g., with CTRL-U) and giving a final <BS>. - Hitting CTRL-C or <Esc>, which quits the command-line without executing the command. In the last case <Esc> may be the character defined with the 'wildchar' option, in which case it will start command-line completion. You can ignore that and type <Esc> again. 4 Go from Normal to Select mode by: - use the mouse to select text while 'selectmode' contains "mouse" - use a non-printable command to move the cursor while keeping the Shift key pressed, and the 'selectmode' option contains "key" - use "v", "V" or "CTRL-V" while 'selectmode' contains "cmd" - use "gh", "gH" or "g CTRL-H" \|g_CTRL-H\| 5 Go from Select mode to Normal mode by using a non-printable command to move the cursor, without keeping the Shift key pressed. 6 Go from Select mode to Insert mode by typing a printable character. The selection is deleted and the character is inserted. If the 'insertmode' option is on, editing a file will start in Insert mode. CTRL-\_CTRL-N i_CTRL-\_CTRL-N c_CTRL-\_CTRL-N v_CTRL-\_CTRL-N Additionally the command CTRL-\ CTRL-N or <C-\><C-N> can be used to go to Normal mode from any other mode. This can be used to make sure Vim is in Normal mode, without causing a beep like <Esc> would. However, this does not work in Ex mode. When used after a command that takes an argument, such as \|f\| or \|m\|, the timeout set with 'ttimeoutlen' applies. When focus is in a terminal window, CTRL-\ CTRL-N goes to Normal mode until an edit command is entered, see \|t_CTRL-\_CTRL-N\|. CTRL-\_CTRL-G i_CTRL-\_CTRL-G c_CTRL-\_CTRL-G v_CTRL-\_CTRL-G The command CTRL-\ CTRL-G or <C-\><C-G> can be used to go to Insert mode when 'insertmode' is set. Otherwise it goes to Normal mode. This can be used to make sure Vim is in the mode indicated by 'insertmode', without knowing in what mode Vim currently is. Q mode-Ex Ex-mode Ex EX E501 Q Switch to "Ex" mode. This is a bit like typing ":" commands one after another, except: - You don't have to keep pressing ":". - The screen doesn't get updated after each command. - There is no normal command-line editing. - Mappings and abbreviations are not used. In fact, you are editing the lines with the "standard" line-input editing commands (<Del> or <BS> to erase, CTRL-U to kill the whole line). Vim will enter this mode by default if it's invoked as "ex" on the command-line. Use the ":vi" command \|:visual\| to exit "Ex" mode. Note: In older versions of Vim "Q" formatted text, that is now done with \|gq\|. But if you use the \|vimrc_example.vim\| script "Q" works like "gq". gQ gQ Switch to "Ex" mode like with "Q", but really behave like typing ":" commands after another. All command line editing, completion etc. is available. Use the ":vi" command \|:visual\| to exit "Ex" mode. ============================================================================== 7. The window contents window-contents In Normal mode and Insert/Replace mode the screen window will show the current contents of the buffer: What You See Is What You Get. There are two exceptions: - When the 'cpoptions' option contains '$', and the change is within one line, the text is not directly deleted, but a '$' is put at the last deleted character. - When inserting text in one window, other windows on the same text are not updated until the insert is finished. Lines longer than the window width will wrap, unless the 'wrap' option is off (see below). The 'linebreak' option can be set to wrap at a blank character. If the window has room after the last line of the buffer, Vim will show '~' in the first column of the last lines in the window, like this: +-----------------------+ \|some line \| \|last line \| \|~ \| \|~ \| +-----------------------+ Thus the '~' lines indicate that the end of the buffer was reached. If the last line in a window doesn't fit, Vim will indicate this with a '@' in the first column of the last lines in the window, like this: +-----------------------+ \|first line \| \|second line \| \|@ \| \|@ \| +-----------------------+ Thus the '@' lines indicate that there is a line that doesn't fit in the window. When the "lastline" flag is present in the 'display' option, you will not see '@' characters at the left side of window. If the last line doesn't fit completely, only the part that fits is shown, and the last three characters of the last line are replaced with "@@@", like this: +-----------------------+ \|first line \| \|second line \| \|a very long line that d\| \|oesn't fit in the wi@@@\| +-----------------------+ If there is a single line that is too long to fit in the window, this is a special situation. Vim will show only part of the line, around where the cursor is. There are no special characters shown, so that you can edit all parts of this line. The '@' occasion in the 'highlight' option can be used to set special highlighting for the '@' and '~' characters. This makes it possible to distinguish them from real characters in the buffer. The 'showbreak' option contains the string to put in front of wrapped lines. wrap-off If the 'wrap' option is off, long lines will not wrap. Only the part that fits on the screen is shown. If the cursor is moved to a part of the line that is not shown, the screen is scrolled horizontally. The advantage of this method is that columns are shown as they are and lines that cannot fit on the screen can be edited. The disadvantage is that you cannot see all the characters of a line at once. The 'sidescroll' option can be set to the minimal number of columns to scroll. All normal ASCII characters are displayed directly on the screen. The <Tab> is replaced with the number of spaces that it represents. Other non-printing characters are replaced with "^{char}", where {char} is the non-printing character with 64 added. Thus character 7 (bell) will be shown as "^G". Characters between 127 and 160 are replaced with "~{char}", where {char} is the character with 64 subtracted. These characters occupy more than one position on the screen. The cursor can only be positioned on the first one. If you set the 'number' option, all lines will be preceded with their number. Tip: If you don't like wrapping lines to mix with the line numbers, set the 'showbreak' option to eight spaces: ":set showbreak=\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ " If you set the 'list' option, <Tab> characters will not be shown as several spaces, but as "^I". A '$' will be placed at the end of the line, so you can find trailing blanks. In Command-line mode only the command-line itself is shown correctly. The display of the buffer contents is updated as soon as you go back to Command mode. The last line of the window is used for status and other messages. The status messages will only be used if an option is on: status message option default Unix default ~ current mode 'showmode' on on command characters 'showcmd' on off cursor position 'ruler' off off The current mode is "-- INSERT --" or "-- REPLACE --", see \|'showmode'\|. The command characters are those that you typed but were not used yet. If you have a slow terminal you can switch off the status messages to speed up editing: :set nosc noru nosm If there is an error, an error message will be shown for at least one second (in reverse video). Some commands show how many lines were affected. Above which threshold this happens can be controlled with the 'report' option (default 2). On the Amiga Vim will run in a CLI window. The name Vim and the full name of the current file name will be shown in the title bar. When the window is resized, Vim will automatically redraw the window. You may make the window as small as you like, but if it gets too small not a single line will fit in it. Make it at least 40 characters wide to be able to read most messages on the last line. On most Unix systems, resizing the window is recognized and handled correctly by Vim. ============================================================================== 8. Definitions definitions buffer Contains lines of text, usually read from a file. screen The whole area that Vim uses to work in. This can be a terminal emulator window. Also called "the Vim window". window A view on a buffer. There can be multiple windows for one buffer. A screen contains one or more windows, separated by status lines and with the command line at the bottom. +-------------------------------+ screen \| window 1 \| window 2 \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|= status line =\|= status line =\| \| window 3 \| \| \| \| \| \|==== status line ==============\| \|command line \| +-------------------------------+ The command line is also used for messages. It scrolls up the screen when there is not enough room in the command line. A difference is made between four types of lines: buffer lines The lines in the buffer. This is the same as the lines as they are read from/written to a file. They can be thousands of characters long. logical lines The buffer lines with folding applied. Buffer lines in a closed fold are changed to a single logical line: "+-- 99 lines folded". They can be thousands of characters long. window lines The lines displayed in a window: A range of logical lines with wrapping, line breaks, etc. applied. They can only be as long as the width of the window allows, longer lines are wrapped or truncated. screen lines The lines of the screen that Vim uses. Consists of the window lines of all windows, with status lines and the command line added. They can only be as long as the width of the screen allows. When the command line gets longer it wraps and lines are scrolled to make room. buffer lines logical lines window lines screen lines ~ 1. one 1. one 1. +-- folded 1. +-- folded 2. two 2. +-- folded 2. five 2. five 3. three 3. five 3. six 3. six 4. four 4. six 4. seven 4. seven 5. five 5. seven 5. === status line === 6. six 6. aaa 7. seven 7. bbb 8. ccc ccc c 1. aaa 1. aaa 1. aaa 9. cc 2. bbb 2. bbb 2. bbb 10. ddd 3. ccc ccc ccc 3. ccc ccc ccc 3. ccc ccc c 11. ~ 4. ddd 4. ddd 4. cc 12. === status line === 5. ddd 13.

📄 map.txt map.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Dec 10 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Key mapping, abbreviations and user-defined commands.

Abbreviations \|abbreviations\| 3. Local mappings and functions \|script-local\| 4. User-defined commands \|user-commands\| ============================================================================== 1. Key mapping key-mapping mapping macro Key mapping is used to change the meaning of typed keys. The most common use is to define a sequence of commands for a function key. Example: > :map <F2> a<C-R>=strftime("%c")<CR><Esc> This appends the current date and time after the cursor (in <> notation \|<>\|). 1.1 MAP COMMANDS :map-commands There are commands to enter new mappings, remove mappings and list mappings. See \|map-overview\| for the various forms of "map" and their relationships with modes. {lhs} means left-hand-side {lhs} {rhs} means right-hand-side {rhs} :map {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-nvo\| :map :nm[ap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-n\| :nm :nmap :vm[ap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-v\| :vm :vmap :xm[ap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-x\| :xm :xmap :smap {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-s\| :smap :om[ap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-o\| :om :omap :map! {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-ic\| :map! :im[ap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-i\| :im :imap :lm[ap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-l\| :lm :lma :lmap :cm[ap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-c\| :cm :cmap :tma[p] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-t\| :tma :tmap Map the key sequence {lhs} to {rhs} for the modes where the map command applies. The result, including {rhs}, is then further scanned for mappings. This allows for nested and recursive use of mappings. :nore :norem :no[remap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-nvo\| :no :noremap :nor :nn[oremap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-n\| :nn :nnoremap :vn[oremap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-v\| :vn :vnoremap :xn[oremap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-x\| :xn :xnoremap :snor[emap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-s\| :snor :snore :snoremap :ono[remap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-o\| :ono :onoremap :no[remap]! {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-ic\| :no! :noremap! :ino[remap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-i\| :ino :inor :inoremap :ln[oremap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-l\| :ln :lnoremap :cno[remap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-c\| :cno :cnor :cnoremap :tno[remap] {lhs} {rhs} \|mapmode-t\| :tno :tnoremap Map the key sequence {lhs} to {rhs} for the modes where the map command applies. Disallow mapping of {rhs}, to avoid nested and recursive mappings. Often used to redefine a command. :unm[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-nvo\| :unm :unmap :nun[map] {lhs} \|mapmode-n\| :nun :nunmap :vu[nmap] {lhs} \|mapmode-v\| :vu :vunmap :xu[nmap] {lhs} \|mapmode-x\| :xu :xunmap :sunm[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-s\| :sunm :sunmap :ou[nmap] {lhs} \|mapmode-o\| :ou :ounmap :unm[ap]! {lhs} \|mapmode-ic\| :unm! :unmap! :iu[nmap] {lhs} \|mapmode-i\| :iu :iunmap :lu[nmap] {lhs} \|mapmode-l\| :lu :lunmap :cu[nmap] {lhs} \|mapmode-c\| :cu :cun :cunmap :tunma[p] {lhs} \|mapmode-t\| :tunma :tunmap Remove the mapping of {lhs} for the modes where the map command applies. The mapping may remain defined for other modes where it applies. Note: Trailing spaces are included in the {lhs}. This unmap does NOT work: > :map @@ foo :unmap @@ \| print :mapc[lear] \|mapmode-nvo\| :mapc :mapclear :nmapc[lear] \|mapmode-n\| :nmapc :nmapclear :vmapc[lear] \|mapmode-v\| :vmapc :vmapclear :xmapc[lear] \|mapmode-x\| :xmapc :xmapclear :smapc[lear] \|mapmode-s\| :smapc :smapclear :omapc[lear] \|mapmode-o\| :omapc :omapclear :mapc[lear]! \|mapmode-ic\| :mapc! :mapclear! :imapc[lear] \|mapmode-i\| :imapc :imapclear :lmapc[lear] \|mapmode-l\| :lmapc :lmapclear :cmapc[lear] \|mapmode-c\| :cmapc :cmapclear :tmapc[lear] \|mapmode-t\| :tmapc :tmapclear Remove ALL mappings for the modes where the map command applies. Use the <buffer> argument to remove buffer-local mappings \|:map-<buffer>\| Warning: This also removes the default mappings. :map \|mapmode-nvo\| :nm[ap] \|mapmode-n\| :vm[ap] \|mapmode-v\| :xm[ap] \|mapmode-x\| :sm[ap] \|mapmode-s\| :om[ap] \|mapmode-o\| :map! \|mapmode-ic\| :im[ap] \|mapmode-i\| :lm[ap] \|mapmode-l\| :cm[ap] \|mapmode-c\| :tma[p] \|mapmode-t\| List all key mappings for the modes where the map command applies. Note that ":map" and ":map!" are used most often, because they include the other modes. :map {lhs} \|mapmode-nvo\| :map_l :nm[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-n\| :nmap_l :vm[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-v\| :vmap_l :xm[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-x\| :xmap_l :sm[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-s\| :smap_l :om[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-o\| :omap_l :map! {lhs} \|mapmode-ic\| :map_l! :im[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-i\| :imap_l :lm[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-l\| :lmap_l :cm[ap] {lhs} \|mapmode-c\| :cmap_l :tma[p] {lhs} \|mapmode-t\| :tmap_l List the key mappings for the key sequences starting with {lhs} in the modes where the map command applies. These commands are used to map a key or key sequence to a string of characters. You can use this to put command sequences under function keys, translate one key into another, etc. See \|:mkexrc\| for how to save and restore the current mappings. map-ambiguous When two mappings start with the same sequence of characters, they are ambiguous. Example: > :imap aa foo :imap aaa bar When Vim has read "aa", it will need to get another character to be able to decide if "aa" or "aaa" should be mapped. This means that after typing "aa" that mapping won't get expanded yet, Vim is waiting for another character. If you type a space, then "foo" will get inserted, plus the space. If you type "a", then "bar" will get inserted. 1.2 SPECIAL ARGUMENTS :map-arguments "<buffer>", "<nowait>", "<silent>", "<special>", "<script>", "<expr>" and "<unique>" can be used in any order. They must appear right after the command, before any other arguments. :map-local :map-<buffer> E224 E225 If the first argument to one of these commands is "<buffer>" the mapping will be effective in the current buffer only. Example: > :map <buffer> ,w /[.,;]<CR> Then you can map ",w" to something else in another buffer: > :map <buffer> ,w /[#&!]<CR> The local buffer mappings are used before the global ones. See <nowait> below to make a short local mapping not taking effect when a longer global one exists. The "<buffer>" argument can also be used to clear mappings: > :unmap <buffer> ,w :mapclear <buffer> Local mappings are also cleared when a buffer is deleted, but not when it is unloaded. Just like local option values. Also see \|map-precedence\|. :map-<nowait> :map-nowait When defining a buffer-local mapping for "," there may be a global mapping that starts with ",". Then you need to type another character for Vim to know whether to use the "," mapping or the longer one. To avoid this add the <nowait> argument. Then the mapping will be used when it matches, Vim does not wait for more characters to be typed. However, if the characters were already typed they are used. Note that this works when the <nowait> mapping fully matches and is found before any partial matches. This works when: - There is only one matching buffer-local mapping, since these are always found before global mappings. - There is another buffer-local mapping that partly matches, but it is defined earlier (last defined mapping is found first). :map-<silent> :map-silent To define a mapping which will not be echoed on the command line, add "<silent>" as the first argument. Example: > :map <silent> ,h /Header<CR> The search string will not be echoed when using this mapping. Messages from the executed command are still given though. To shut them up too, add a ":silent" in the executed command: > :map <silent> ,h :exe ":silent normal /Header\r"<CR> Prompts will still be given, e.g., for inputdialog(). Using "<silent>" for an abbreviation is possible, but will cause redrawing of the command line to fail. :map-<special> :map-special Define a mapping with <> notation for special keys, even though the "<" flag may appear in 'cpoptions'. This is useful if the side effect of setting 'cpoptions' is not desired. Example: > :map <special> <F12> /Header<CR> < :map-<script> :map-script If the first argument to one of these commands is "<script>" and it is used to define a new mapping or abbreviation, the mapping will only remap characters in the {rhs} using mappings that were defined local to a script, starting with "<SID>". This can be used to avoid that mappings from outside a script interfere (e.g., when CTRL-V is remapped in mswin.vim), but do use other mappings defined in the script. Note: ":map <script>" and ":noremap <script>" do the same thing. The "<script>" overrules the command name. Using ":noremap <script>" is preferred, because it's clearer that remapping is (mostly) disabled. :map-<unique> E226 E227 If the first argument to one of these commands is "<unique>" and it is used to define a new mapping or abbreviation, the command will fail if the mapping or abbreviation already exists. Example: > :map <unique> ,w /[#&!]<CR> When defining a local mapping, there will also be a check if a global map already exists which is equal. Example of what will fail: > :map ,w /[#&!]<CR> :map <buffer> <unique> ,w /[.,;]<CR> If you want to map a key and then have it do what it was originally mapped to, have a look at \|maparg()\|. :map-<expr> :map-expression If the first argument to one of these commands is "<expr>" and it is used to define a new mapping or abbreviation, the argument is an expression. The expression is evaluated to obtain the {rhs} that is used. Example: > :inoremap <expr> . InsertDot() The result of the InsertDot() function will be inserted. It could check the text before the cursor and start omni completion when some condition is met. For abbreviations \|v:char\| is set to the character that was typed to trigger the abbreviation. You can use this to decide how to expand the {lhs}. You should not either insert or change the v:char. In case you want the mapping to not do anything, you can have the expression evaluate to an empty string. If something changed that requires Vim to go through the main loop (e.g. to update the display), return "\<Ignore>". This is similar to "nothing" but makes Vim return from the loop that waits for input. Example: > func s:OpenPopup() call popup_create(... arguments ...) return "\<Ignore>" endfunc nnoremap <expr> <F3> <Sid>OpenPopup() Also, keep in mind that the expression may be evaluated when looking for typeahead, before the previous command has been executed. For example: > func StoreColumn() let g:column = col('.') return 'x' endfunc nnoremap <expr> x StoreColumn() nmap ! f!x You will notice that g:column has the value from before executing "fx", because "z" is evaluated before "fx" is executed. This can be solved by inserting <Ignore> before the character that is expression-mapped: > nmap ! f!<Ignore>x Be very careful about side effects! The expression is evaluated while obtaining characters, you may very well make the command dysfunctional. For this reason the following is blocked: - Changing the buffer text \|textlock\|. - Editing another buffer. - The \|:normal\| command. - Moving the cursor is allowed, but it is restored afterwards. If you want the mapping to do any of these let the returned characters do that, or use a \|<Cmd>\| mapping instead. You can use getchar(), it consumes typeahead if there is any. E.g., if you have these mappings: > inoremap <expr> <C-L> nr2char(getchar()) inoremap <expr> <C-L>x "foo" If you now type CTRL-L nothing happens yet, Vim needs the next character to decide what mapping to use. If you type 'x' the second mapping is used and "foo" is inserted. If you type any other key the first mapping is used, getchar() gets the typed key and returns it. Here is an example that inserts a list number that increases: > let counter = 0 inoremap <expr> <C-L> ListItem() inoremap <expr> <C-R> ListReset() func ListItem() let g:counter += 1 return g:counter . '. ' endfunc func ListReset() let g:counter = 0 return '' endfunc CTRL-L inserts the next number, CTRL-R resets the count. CTRL-R returns an empty string, so that nothing is inserted. Note that using 0x80 as a single byte before other text does not work, it will be seen as a special key. <Cmd> :map-cmd The special text <Cmd> begins a "command mapping", it executes the command directly without changing modes. Where you might use ":...<CR>" in the {rhs} of a mapping, you can instead use "<Cmd>...<CR>". Example: > noremap x <Cmd>echo mode(1)<CR> < This is more flexible than `:<C-U>` in Visual and Operator-pending mode, or `<C-O>:` in Insert mode, because the commands are executed directly in the current mode, instead of always going to Normal mode. Visual mode is preserved, so tricks with \|gv\| are not needed. Commands can be invoked directly in Command-line mode (which would otherwise require timer hacks). Example of using <Cmd> halfway Insert mode: > nnoremap <F3> aText <Cmd>echo mode(1)<CR> Added<Esc> Unlike <expr> mappings, there are no special restrictions on the <Cmd> command: it is executed as if an (unrestricted) \|autocommand\| was invoked. Note: - Because <Cmd> avoids mode-changes it does not trigger \|CmdlineEnter\| and \|CmdlineLeave\| events, because no user interaction is expected. - For the same reason, \|keycodes\| like <C-R><C-W> are interpreted as plain, unmapped keys. - The command is not echo'ed, no need for <silent>. - In Visual mode you can use `line('v')` and `col('v')` to get one end of the Visual area, the cursor is at the other end. - In Select mode, \|:map\| and \|:vmap\| command mappings are executed in Visual mode. Use \|:smap\| to handle Select mode differently. E1135 E1136 <Cmd> commands must terminate, that is, they must be followed by <CR> in the {rhs} of the mapping definition. \|Command-line\| mode is never entered. E1137 <Cmd> commands can have only normal characters and cannot contain special characters like function keys. 1.3 MAPPING AND MODES :map-modes mapmode-nvo mapmode-n mapmode-v mapmode-o There are six sets of mappings - For Normal mode: When typing commands. - For Visual mode: When typing commands while the Visual area is highlighted. - For Select mode: like Visual mode but typing text replaces the selection. - For Operator-pending mode: When an operator is pending (after "d", "y", "c", etc.). See below: \|omap-info\|. - For Insert mode. These are also used in Replace mode. - For Command-line mode: When entering a ":" or "/" command. Special case: While typing a count for a command in Normal mode, mapping zero is disabled. This makes it possible to map zero without making it impossible to type a count with a zero. map-overview map-modes Overview of which map command works in which mode. More details below. COMMANDS MODES ~ :map :noremap :unmap Normal, Visual, Select, Operator-pending :nmap :nnoremap :nunmap Normal :vmap :vnoremap :vunmap Visual and Select :smap :snoremap :sunmap Select :xmap :xnoremap :xunmap Visual :omap :onoremap :ounmap Operator-pending :map! :noremap! :unmap!

Note that quite often "Visual" is mentioned where both Visual and Select mode apply. \|Select-mode-mapping\| NOTE: Mapping a printable character in Select mode may confuse the user. It's better to explicitly use :xmap and :smap for printable characters. Or use :sunmap after defining the mapping. COMMANDS MODES ~ Visual Select ~ :vmap :vnoremap :vunmap :vmapclear yes yes :xmap :xnoremap :xunmap :xmapclear yes - :smap :snoremap :sunmap :smapclear - yes mapmode-ic mapmode-i mapmode-c mapmode-l Some commands work both in Insert mode and Command-line mode, some not: COMMANDS MODES ~ Insert Command-line Lang-Arg ~ :map! :noremap! :unmap! :mapclear! yes yes - :imap :inoremap :iunmap :imapclear yes - - :cmap :cnoremap :cunmap :cmapclear - yes - :lmap :lnoremap :lunmap :lmapclear yes* yes* yes* * If 'iminsert' is 1, see \|language-mapping\| below. The original Vi did not have separate mappings for Normal/Visual/Operator-pending mode and for Insert/Command-line mode. Therefore the ":map" and ":map!" commands enter and display mappings for several modes. In Vim you can use the ":nmap", ":vmap", ":omap", ":cmap" and ":imap" commands to enter mappings for each mode separately. mapmode-t The terminal mappings are used in a terminal window, when typing keys for the job running in the terminal. See \|terminal-typing\|. omap-info Operator-pending mappings can be used to define a movement command that can be used with any operator. Simple example: > :omap { w makes "y{" work like "yw" and "d{" like "dw". To ignore the starting cursor position and select different text, you can have the omap start Visual mode to select the text to be operated upon. Example that operates on a function name in the current line: > onoremap <silent> F :<C-U>normal! 0f(hviw<CR> The CTRL-U (<C-U>) is used to remove the range that Vim may insert. The Normal mode commands find the first '(' character and select the first word before it. That usually is the function name. To enter a mapping for Normal and Visual mode, but not Operator-pending mode, first define it for all three modes, then unmap it for Operator-pending mode: > :map xx something-difficult :ounmap xx Likewise for a mapping for Visual and Operator-pending mode or Normal and Operator-pending mode. language-mapping ":lmap" defines a mapping that applies to: - Insert mode - Command-line mode - when entering a search pattern - the argument of the commands that accept a text character, such as "r" and "f" - for the input() line Generally: Whenever a character is to be typed that is part of the text in the buffer, not a Vim command character. "Lang-Arg" isn't really another mode, it's just used here for this situation. The simplest way to load a set of related language mappings is by using the 'keymap' option. See \|45.5\|. In Insert mode and in Command-line mode the mappings can be disabled with the CTRL-^ command \|i_CTRL-^\| \|c_CTRL-^\|. These commands change the value of the 'iminsert' option. When starting to enter a normal command line (not a search pattern) the mappings are disabled until a CTRL-^ is typed. The state last used is remembered for Insert mode and Search patterns separately. The state for Insert mode is also used when typing a character as an argument to command like "f" or "t". Language mappings will never be applied to already mapped characters. They are only used for typed characters. This assumes that the language mapping was already done when typing the mapping. 1.4 LISTING MAPPINGS map-listing When listing mappings the characters in the first two columns are: CHAR MODE ~ <Space> Normal, Visual, Select and Operator-pending n Normal v Visual and Select s Select x Visual o Operator-pending ! Insert and Command-line i Insert l ":lmap" mappings for Insert, Command-line and Lang-Arg c Command-line t Terminal-Job Just before the {rhs} a special character can appear: * indicates that it is not remappable & indicates that only script-local mappings are remappable @ indicates a buffer-local mapping Everything from the first non-blank after {lhs} up to the end of the line (or '\|') is considered to be part of {rhs}. This allows the {rhs} to end with a space. Note: When using mappings for Visual mode, you can use the "'<" mark, which is the start of the last selected Visual area in the current buffer \|'<\|. The \|:filter\| command can be used to select what mappings to list. The pattern is matched against the {lhs} and {rhs} in the raw form. :map-verbose When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing a key map will also display where it was last defined. Example: > :verbose map <C-W>* n <C-W>* * <C-W><C-S>* Last set from /home/abcd/.vimrc See \|:verbose-cmd\| for more information. 1.5 MAPPING SPECIAL KEYS :map-special-keys There are three ways to map a special key: 1. The Vi-compatible method: Map the key code. Often this is a sequence that starts with <Esc>. To enter a mapping like this you type ":map " and then you have to type CTRL-V before hitting the function key. Note that when the key code for the key is in the termcap (the t_ options), it will automatically be translated into the internal code and become the second way of mapping (unless the 'k' flag is included in 'cpoptions'). 2. The second method is to use the internal code for the function key. To enter such a mapping type CTRL-K and then hit the function key, or use the form "#1", "#2", .. "#9", "#0", "<Up>", "<S-Down>", "<S-F7>", etc. (see table of keys \|key-notation\|, all keys from <Up> can be used). The first ten function keys can be defined in two ways: Just the number, like "#2", and with "<F>", like "<F2>". Both stand for function key 2. "#0" refers to function key 10, defined with option 't_f10', which may be function key zero on some keyboards. The <> form cannot be used when 'cpoptions' includes the '<' flag. 3. Use the termcap entry, with the form <t_xx>, where "xx" is the name of the termcap entry. Any string entry can be used. For example: > :map <t_F3> G < Maps function key 13 to "G". This does not work if 'cpoptions' includes the '<' flag. The advantage of the second and third method is that the mapping will work on different terminals without modification (the function key will be translated into the same internal code or the actual key code, no matter what terminal you are using. The termcap must be correct for this to work, and you must use the same mappings). DETAIL: Vim first checks if a sequence from the keyboard is mapped. If it isn't the terminal key codes are tried (see \|terminal-options\|). If a terminal code is found it is replaced with the internal code. Then the check for a mapping is done again (so you can map an internal code to something else). What is written into the script file depends on what is recognized. If the terminal key code was recognized as a mapping the key code itself is written to the script file. If it was recognized as a terminal code the internal code is written to the script file. 1.6 SPECIAL CHARACTERS :map-special-chars map_backslash map-backslash Note that only CTRL-V is mentioned here as a special character for mappings and abbreviations. When 'cpoptions' does not contain 'B', a backslash can also be used like CTRL-V. The <> notation can be fully used then \|<>\|. But you cannot use "<C-V>" like CTRL-V to escape the special meaning of what follows. To map a backslash, or use a backslash literally in the {rhs}, the special sequence "<Bslash>" can be used. This avoids the need to double backslashes when using nested mappings. map_CTRL-C map-CTRL-C Using CTRL-C in the {lhs} is possible, but it will only work when Vim is waiting for a key, not when Vim is busy with something. When Vim is busy CTRL-C interrupts/breaks the command. When using the GUI version on MS-Windows CTRL-C can be mapped to allow a Copy command to the clipboard. Use CTRL-Break to interrupt Vim. map_space_in_lhs map-space_in_lhs To include a space in {lhs} precede it with a CTRL-V (type two CTRL-Vs for each space). map_space_in_rhs map-space_in_rhs If you want a {rhs} that starts with a space, use "<Space>". To be fully Vi compatible (but unreadable) don't use the \|<>\| notation, precede {rhs} with a single CTRL-V (you have to type CTRL-V two times). map_empty_rhs map-empty-rhs You can create an empty {rhs} by typing nothing after a single CTRL-V (you have to type CTRL-V two times). Unfortunately, you cannot do this in a vimrc file. <Nop> An easier way to get a mapping that doesn't produce anything, is to use "<Nop>" for the {rhs}. This only works when the \|<>\| notation is enabled. For example, to make sure that function key 8 does nothing at all: > :map <F8> <Nop> :map! <F8> <Nop> < map-multibyte It is possible to map multibyte characters, but only the whole character. You cannot map the first byte only. This was done to prevent problems in this scenario: > :set encoding=latin1 :imap <M-C> foo :set encoding=utf-8 The mapping for <M-C> is defined with the latin1 encoding, resulting in a 0xc3 byte. If you type the character á (0xe1 <M-a>) in UTF-8 encoding this is the two bytes 0xc3 0xa1. You don't want the 0xc3 byte to be mapped then or otherwise it would be impossible to type the á character. <Leader> mapleader To define a mapping which uses the "mapleader" variable, the special string "<Leader>" can be used. It is replaced with the string value of "mapleader". If "mapleader" is not set or empty, a backslash is used instead. Example: > :map <Leader>A oanother line<Esc> Works like: > :map \A oanother line<Esc> But after: > :let mapleader = "," It works like: > :map ,A oanother line<Esc> Note that the value of "mapleader" is used at the moment the mapping is defined. Changing "mapleader" after that has no effect for already defined mappings. <LocalLeader> maplocalleader <LocalLeader> is just like <Leader>, except that it uses "maplocalleader" instead of "mapleader". <LocalLeader> is to be used for mappings which are local to a buffer. Example: > :map <buffer> <LocalLeader>A oanother line<Esc> < In a global plugin <Leader> should be used and in a filetype plugin <LocalLeader>. "mapleader" and "maplocalleader" can be equal. Although, if you make them different, there is a smaller chance of mappings from global plugins to clash with mappings for filetype plugins. For example, you could keep "mapleader" at the default backslash, and set "maplocalleader" to an underscore. map-<SID> In a script the special key name "<SID>" can be used to define a mapping that's local to the script. See \|<SID>\| for details. <Plug> The special key name "<Plug>" can be used for an internal mapping, which is not to be matched with any key sequence. This is useful in plugins \|using-<Plug>\|. <Char> <Char-> To map a character by its decimal, octal or hexadecimal number the <Char> construct can be used: <Char-123> character 123 <Char-033> character 27 <Char-0x7f> character 127 <S-Char-114> character 114 ('r') shifted ('R') This is useful to specify a (multibyte) character in a 'keymap' file. Upper and lowercase differences are ignored. map-comments It is not possible to put a comment after these commands, because the '"' character is considered to be part of the {lhs} or {rhs}. However, one can use \|", since this starts a new, empty command with a comment. map_bar map-bar Since the '\|' character is used to separate a map command from the next command, you will have to do something special to include a '\|' in {rhs}. There are three methods: use works when example ~ <Bar> '<' is not in 'cpoptions' :map _l :!ls <Bar> more^M \\| 'b' is not in 'cpoptions' :map _l :!ls \\| more^M ^V\| always, in Vim and Vi :map _l :!ls ^V\| more^M (here ^V stands for CTRL-V; to get one CTRL-V you have to type it twice; you cannot use the <> notation "<C-V>" here). All three work when you use the default setting for 'cpoptions'. When 'b' is present in 'cpoptions', "\\|" will be recognized as a mapping ending in a '\' and then another command. This is Vi compatible, but illogical when compared to other commands. map_return map-return When you have a mapping that contains an Ex command, you need to put a line terminator after it to have it executed. The use of <CR> is recommended for this (see \|<>\|). Example: > :map _ls :!ls -l %:S<CR>:echo "the end"<CR> To avoid mapping of the characters you type in insert or Command-line mode, type a CTRL-V first. The mapping in Insert mode is disabled if the 'paste' option is on. map-error Note that when an error is encountered (that causes an error message or beep) the rest of the mapping is not executed. This is Vi-compatible. Note that the second character (argument) of the commands @zZtTfF[]rm'`"v and CTRL-X is not mapped. This was done to be able to use all the named registers and marks, even when the command with the same name has been mapped. 1.7 WHAT KEYS TO MAP map-which-keys If you are going to map something, you will need to choose which key(s) to use for the {lhs}. You will have to avoid keys that are used for Vim commands, otherwise you would not be able to use those commands anymore. Here are a few suggestions: - Function keys <F2>, <F3>, etc.. Also the shifted function keys <S-F1>, <S-F2>, etc. Note that <F1> is already used for the help command. - Meta-keys (with the ALT key pressed). Depending on your keyboard accented characters may be used as well. \|:map-alt-keys\| - Use the '_' or ',' character and then any other character. The "_" and "," commands do exist in Vim (see \|_\| and \|,\|), but you probably never use them. - Use a key that is a synonym for another command. For example: CTRL-P and CTRL-N. Use an extra character to allow more mappings. - The key defined by <Leader> and one or more other keys. This is especially useful in scripts. \|mapleader\| See the file "index" for keys that are not used and thus can be mapped without losing any builtin function. You can also use ":help {key}^D" to find out if a key is used for some command. ({key} is the specific key you want to find out about, ^D is CTRL-D). 1.8 EXAMPLES map-examples A few examples (given as you type them, for "<CR>" you type four characters; the '<' flag must not be present in 'cpoptions' for this to work). > :map <F3> o#include :map <M-g> /foo<CR>cwbar<Esc> :map _x d/END/e<CR> :map! qq quadrillion questions Multiplying a count When you type a count before triggering a mapping, it's like the count was typed before the {lhs}. For example, with this mapping: > :map <F4> 3w Typing 2<F4> will result in "23w". Thus not moving 2 * 3 words but 23 words. If you want to multiply counts use the expression register: > :map <F4> @='3w'<CR> The part between quotes is the expression being executed. \|@=\| 1.9 USING MAPPINGS map-typing Vim will compare what you type with the start of a mapped sequence. If there is an incomplete match, it will get more characters until there either is a complete match or until there is no match at all. Example: If you map! "qq", the first 'q' will not appear on the screen until you type another character. This is because Vim cannot know if the next character will be a 'q' or not. If the 'timeout' option is on (which is the default) Vim will only wait for one second (or as long as specified with the 'timeoutlen' option). After that it assumes that the 'q' is to be interpreted as such. If you type slowly, or your system is slow, reset the 'timeout' option. Then you might want to set the 'ttimeout' option. map-precedence Buffer-local mappings (defined using \|:map-<buffer>\|) take precedence over global mappings. When a buffer-local mapping is the same as a global mapping, Vim will use the buffer-local mapping. In addition, Vim will use a complete mapping immediately if it was defined with <nowait>, even if a longer mapping has the same prefix. For example, given the following two mappings: > :map <buffer> <nowait> \a :echo "Local \a"<CR> :map \abc :echo "Global \abc"<CR> When typing \a the buffer-local mapping will be used immediately. Vim will not wait for more characters to see if the user might be typing \abc. map-keys-fails There are situations where key codes might not be recognized: - Vim can only read part of the key code. Mostly this is only the first character. This happens on some Unix versions in an xterm. - The key code is after character(s) that are mapped. E.g., "<F1><F1>" or "g<F1>". The result is that the key code is not recognized in this situation, and the mapping fails. There are two actions needed to avoid this problem: - Remove the 'K' flag from 'cpoptions'. This will make Vim wait for the rest of the characters of the function key. - When using <F1> to <F4> the actual key code generated may correspond to <xF1> to <xF4>. There are mappings from <xF1> to <F1>, <xF2> to <F2>, etc., but these are not recognized after another half a mapping. Make sure the key codes for <F1> to <F4> are correct: > :set <F1>=<type CTRL-V><type F1> < Type the <F1> as four characters. The part after the "=" must be done with the actual keys, not the literal text. Another solution is to use the actual key code in the mapping for the second special key: > :map <F1><Esc>OP :echo "yes"<CR> Don't type a real <Esc>, Vim will recognize the key code and replace it with <F1> anyway. Another problem may be that when keeping ALT or Meta pressed the terminal prepends ESC instead of setting the 8th bit. See \|:map-alt-keys\|. recursive_mapping If you include the {lhs} in the {rhs} you have a recursive mapping. When {lhs} is typed, it will be replaced with {rhs}. When the {lhs} which is included in {rhs} is encountered it will be replaced with {rhs}, and so on. This makes it possible to repeat a command an infinite number of times. The only problem is that the only way to stop this is by causing an error. The macros to solve a maze uses this, look there for an example. There is one exception: If the {rhs} starts with {lhs}, the first character is not mapped again (this is Vi compatible). For example: > :map ab abcd will execute the "a" command and insert "bcd" in the text. The "ab" in the {rhs} will not be mapped again. If you want to exchange the meaning of two keys you should use the :noremap command. For example: > :noremap k j :noremap j k This will exchange the cursor up and down commands. With the normal :map command, when the 'remap' option is on, mapping takes place until the text is found not to be a part of a {lhs}. For example, if you use: > :map x y :map y x Vim will replace x with y, and then y with x, etc. When this has happened 'maxmapdepth' times (default 1000), Vim will give the error message "recursive mapping". :map-undo If you include an undo command inside a mapped sequence, this will bring the text back in the state before executing the macro. This is compatible with the original Vi, as long as there is only one undo command in the mapped sequence (having two undo commands in a mapped sequence did not make sense in the original Vi, you would get back the text before the first undo). 1.10 MAPPING ALT-KEYS :map-alt-keys In the GUI Vim handles the Alt key itself, thus mapping keys with ALT should always work. But in a terminal Vim gets a sequence of bytes and has to figure out whether ALT was pressed or not. If the terminal supports the modifyOtherKeys mode and it has been enabled, then Vim can recognize more key combinations, see \|modifyOtherKeys\| below. By default Vim assumes that pressing the ALT key sets the 8th bit of a typed character. Most decent terminals can work that way, such as xterm, aterm and rxvt. If your <A-k> mappings don't work it might be that the terminal is prefixing the character with an ESC character. But you can just as well type ESC before a character, thus Vim doesn't know what happened (except for checking the delay between characters, which is not reliable). As of this writing, some mainstream terminals like gnome-terminal and konsole use the ESC prefix. There doesn't appear a way to have them use the 8th bit instead. Xterm should work well by default. Aterm and rxvt should work well when started with the "--meta8" argument. You can also tweak resources like "metaSendsEscape", "eightBitInput" and "eightBitOutput". On the Linux console, this behavior can be toggled with the "setmetamode" command. Bear in mind that not using an ESC prefix could get you in trouble with other programs. You should make sure that bash has the "convert-meta" option set to "on" in order for your Meta keybindings to still work on it (it's the default readline behavior, unless changed by specific system configuration). For that, you can add the line: > set convert-meta on to your ~/.inputrc file. If you're creating the file, you might want to use: > $include /etc/inputrc as the first line, if that file exists on your system, to keep global options. This may cause a problem for entering special characters, such as the umlaut. Then you should use CTRL-V before that character. Bear in mind that convert-meta has been reported to have troubles when used in UTF-8 locales. On terminals like xterm, the "metaSendsEscape" resource can be toggled on the fly through the "Main Options" menu, by pressing Ctrl-LeftClick on the terminal; that's a good last resource in case you want to send ESC when using other applications but not when inside Vim. 1.11 MAPPING IN modifyOtherKeys mode modifyOtherKeys Xterm and a few other terminals can be put in a mode where keys with modifiers are sent with a special escape code. Vim recognizes these codes and can then make a difference between CTRL-H and Backspace, even when Backspace sends the character 8. And many more special keys. For xterm modifyOtherKeys is enabled in the builtin termcap entry. If this is not used you can enable modifyOtherKeys with these lines in your vimrc: > let &t_TI = "\<Esc>[>4;2m" let &t_TE = "\<Esc>[>4;m" In case the modifyOtherKeys mode causes problems you can disable it: > let &t_TI = "" let &t_TE = "" It does not take effect immediately. To have this work without restarting Vim execute a shell command, e.g.: `!ls` Or put the lines in your \|vimrc\|. When modifyOtherKeys is enabled you can map <C-[> and <C-S-{>: > imap <C-[> [[[ imap <C-{> {{{ Without modifyOtherKeys <C-[> and <C-{> are indistinguishable from Esc. Note that <C-{> is used and not <C-S-[> or <C-S-{>. This works on most keyboards. Similarly, <C-}> is used instead of <C-S-]> or <C-S-}> and <C-\|> instead of <C-S-\> or <C-S-\|>. Note that '\|' has a special meaning in a mapping, see \|map-bar\|. WARNING: if you map <C-[> you may very well break any key codes that start with Esc. Make sure it comes AFTER other mappings. A known side effect is that in Insert mode the raw escape sequence is inserted after the CTRL-V key. This can be used to check whether modifyOtherKeys is enabled: In Insert mode type CTRL-SHIFT-V CTRL-V, if you get one byte then modifyOtherKeys is off, if you get <1b>27;5;118~ then it is on. When the 'esckeys' option is off, then modifyOtherKeys will be disabled in Insert mode to avoid every key with a modifier causing Insert mode to end. 1.12 MAPPING AN OPERATOR :map-operator An operator is used before a {motion} command. To define your own operator you must create a mapping that first sets the 'operatorfunc' option and then invoke the \|g@\| operator. After the user types the {motion} command the specified function will be called. g@ E774 E775 g@{motion} Call the function set by the 'operatorfunc' option. The '[ mark is positioned at the start of the text moved over by {motion}, the '] mark on the last character of the text. The function is called with one String argument: "line" {motion} was \|linewise\| "char" {motion} was \|characterwise\| "block" {motion} was \|blockwise-visual\| Although "block" would rarely appear, since it can only result from Visual mode where "g@" is not useful. {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} Here is an example that counts the number of spaces with <F4>: > nnoremap <expr> <F4> CountSpaces() xnoremap <expr> <F4> CountSpaces() " doubling <F4> works on a line nnoremap <expr> <F4><F4> CountSpaces() .. '_' function CountSpaces(type = '') abort if a:type == '' set opfunc=CountSpaces return 'g@' endif let sel_save = &selection let reg_save = getreginfo('"') let cb_save = &clipboard let visual_marks_save = [getpos("'<"), getpos("'>")] try set clipboard= selection=inclusive let commands = #{line: "'[V']y", char: "`[v`]y", block: "`[\<c-v>`]y"} silent exe 'noautocmd keepjumps normal! ' .. get(commands, a:type, '') echom getreg('"')->count(' ') finally call setreg('"', reg_save) call setpos("'<", visual_marks_save[0]) call setpos("'>", visual_marks_save[1]) let &clipboard = cb_save let &selection = sel_save endtry endfunction An <expr> mapping is used to be able to fetch any prefixed count and register. This also avoids using a command line, which would trigger CmdlineEnter and CmdlineLeave autocommands. Note that the 'selection' option is temporarily set to "inclusive" to be able to yank exactly the right text by using Visual mode from the '[ to the '] mark. Also note that the 'clipboard' option is temporarily emptied to avoid clobbering the `"` or `"+` registers, if its value contains the item `unnamed` or `unnamedplus`. ============================================================================== 2. Abbreviations abbreviations* Abbreviations Abbreviations are used in Insert mode, Replace mode and Command-line mode. If you enter a word that is an abbreviation, it is replaced with the word it stands for. This can be used to save typing for often used long words. And you can use it to automatically correct obvious spelling errors. Examples: :iab ms Microsoft :iab tihs this There are three types of abbreviations: full-id The "full-id" type consists entirely of keyword characters (letters and characters from 'iskeyword' option). This is the most common abbreviation. Examples: "foo", "g3", "-1" end-id The "end-id" type ends in a keyword character, but all the other characters are not keyword characters. Examples: "#i", "..f", "$/7" non-id The "non-id" type ends in a non-keyword character, the other characters may be of any type, excluding space and tab. {this type is not supported by Vi} Examples: "def#", "4/7$" Examples of strings that cannot be abbreviations: "a.b", "#def", "a b", "_$r" An abbreviation is only recognized when you type a non-keyword character. This can also be the <Esc> that ends insert mode or the <CR> that ends a command. The non-keyword character which ends the abbreviation is inserted after the expanded abbreviation. An exception to this is the character <C-]>, which is used to expand an abbreviation without inserting any extra characters. Example: > :ab hh hello < "hh<Space>" is expanded to "hello<Space>" "hh<C-]>" is expanded to "hello" The characters before the cursor must match the abbreviation. Each type has an additional rule: full-id In front of the match is a non-keyword character, or this is where the line or insertion starts. Exception: When the abbreviation is only one character, it is not recognized if there is a non-keyword character in front of it, other than a space or a tab. However, for the command line "'<,'>" (or any other marks) is ignored, as if the command line starts after it. end-id In front of the match is a keyword character, or a space or a tab, or this is where the line or insertion starts. non-id In front of the match is a space, tab or the start of the line or the insertion. Examples: ({CURSOR} is where you type a non-keyword character) > :ab foo four old otters < " foo{CURSOR}" is expanded to " four old otters" " foobar{CURSOR}" is not expanded "barfoo{CURSOR}" is not expanded > :ab #i #include < "#i{CURSOR}" is expanded to "#include" ">#i{CURSOR}" is not expanded > :ab ;; <endofline> < "test;;" is not expanded "test ;;" is expanded to "test <endofline>" To avoid the abbreviation in Insert mode: Type CTRL-V before the character that would trigger the abbreviation. E.g. CTRL-V <Space>. Or type part of the abbreviation, exit insert mode with <Esc>, re-enter insert mode with "a" and type the rest. To avoid the abbreviation in Command-line mode: Type CTRL-V twice somewhere in the abbreviation to avoid it to be replaced. A CTRL-V in front of a normal character is mostly ignored otherwise. It is possible to move the cursor after an abbreviation: > :iab if if ()<Left> This does not work if 'cpoptions' includes the '<' flag. \|<>\| You can even do more complicated things. For example, to consume the space typed after an abbreviation: > func Eatchar(pat) let c = nr2char(getchar(0)) return (c =~ a:pat) ? '' : c endfunc iabbr <silent> if if ()<Left><C-R>=Eatchar('\s')<CR> There are no default abbreviations. Abbreviations are never recursive. You can use ":ab f f-o-o" without any problem. But abbreviations can be mapped. {some versions of Vi support recursive abbreviations, for no apparent reason} Abbreviations are disabled if the 'paste' option is on. :abbreviate-local :abbreviate-<buffer> Just like mappings, abbreviations can be local to a buffer. This is mostly used in a \|filetype-plugin\| file. Example for a C plugin file: > :abb <buffer> FF for (i = 0; i < ; ++i) < :ab :abbreviate :ab[breviate] list all abbreviations. The character in the first column indicates the mode where the abbreviation is used: 'i' for insert mode, 'c' for Command-line mode, '!' for both. These are the same as for mappings, see \|map-listing\|. :abbreviate-verbose When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing an abbreviation will also display where it was last defined. Example: > :verbose abbreviate ! teh the Last set from /home/abcd/vim/abbr.vim See \|:verbose-cmd\| for more information. :ab[breviate] {lhs} list the abbreviations that start with {lhs} You may need to insert a CTRL-V (type it twice) to avoid that a typed {lhs} is expanded, since command-line abbreviations apply here. :ab[breviate] [<expr>] [<buffer>] {lhs} {rhs} add abbreviation for {lhs} to {rhs}. If {lhs} already existed it is replaced with the new {rhs}. {rhs} may contain spaces. See \|:map-<expr>\| for the optional <expr> argument. See \|:map-<buffer>\| for the optional <buffer> argument. :una :unabbreviate :una[bbreviate] [<buffer>] {lhs} Remove abbreviation for {lhs} from the list. If none is found, remove abbreviations in which {lhs} matches with the {rhs}. This is done so that you can even remove abbreviations after expansion. To avoid expansion insert a CTRL-V (type it twice). :norea :noreabbrev :norea[bbrev] [<expr>] [<buffer>] [lhs] [rhs] Same as ":ab", but no remapping for this {rhs}. :ca :cab :cabbrev :ca[bbrev] [<expr>] [<buffer>] [lhs] [rhs] Same as ":ab", but for Command-line mode only. :cuna :cunabbrev :cuna[bbrev] [<buffer>] {lhs} Same as ":una", but for Command-line mode only. :cnorea :cnoreabbrev :cnorea[bbrev] [<expr>] [<buffer>] [lhs] [rhs] same as ":ab", but for Command-line mode only and no remapping for this {rhs} :ia :iabbrev :ia[bbrev] [<expr>] [<buffer>] [lhs] [rhs] Same as ":ab", but for Insert mode only. :iuna :iunabbrev :iuna[bbrev] [<buffer>] {lhs} Same as ":una", but for insert mode only. :inorea :inoreabbrev :inorea[bbrev] [<expr>] [<buffer>] [lhs] [rhs] Same as ":ab", but for Insert mode only and no remapping for this {rhs}. :abc :abclear :abc[lear] [<buffer>] Remove all abbreviations. :iabc :iabclear :iabc[lear] [<buffer>] Remove all abbreviations for Insert mode. :cabc :cabclear :cabc[lear] [<buffer>] Remove all abbreviations for Command-line mode. using_CTRL-V It is possible to use special characters in the rhs of an abbreviation. CTRL-V has to be used to avoid the special meaning of most non printable characters. How many CTRL-Vs need to be typed depends on how you enter the abbreviation. This also applies to mappings. Let's use an example here. Suppose you want to abbreviate "esc" to enter an <Esc> character. When you type the ":ab" command in Vim, you have to enter this: (here ^V is a CTRL-V and ^[ is <Esc>) You type: ab esc ^V^V^V^V^V^[ All keyboard input is subjected to ^V quote interpretation, so the first, third, and fifth ^V characters simply allow the second, and fourth ^Vs, and the ^[, to be entered into the command-line. You see: ab esc ^V^V^[ The command-line contains two actual ^Vs before the ^[. This is how it should appear in your .exrc file, if you choose to go that route. The first ^V is there to quote the second ^V; the :ab command uses ^V as its own quote character, so you can include quoted whitespace or the \| character in the abbreviation. The :ab command doesn't do anything special with the ^[ character, so it doesn't need to be quoted. (Although quoting isn't harmful; that's why typing 7 [but not 8!] ^Vs works.) Stored as: esc ^V^[ After parsing, the abbreviation's short form ("esc") and long form (the two characters "^V^[") are stored in the abbreviation table. If you give the :ab command with no arguments, this is how the abbreviation will be displayed. Later, when the abbreviation is expanded because the user typed in the word "esc", the long form is subjected to the same type of ^V interpretation as keyboard input. So the ^V protects the ^[ character from being interpreted as the "exit Insert mode" character. Instead, the ^[ is inserted into the text. Expands to: ^[ [example given by Steve Kirkendall] ============================================================================== 3. Local mappings and functions script-local When using several Vim script files, there is the danger that mappings and functions used in one script use the same name as in other scripts. To avoid this, they can be made local to the script. <SID> <SNR> E81 The string "<SID>" can be used in a mapping or menu. This requires that the '<' flag is not present in 'cpoptions'. When executing the map command, Vim will replace "<SID>" with the special key code <SNR>, followed by a number that's unique for the script, and an underscore. Example: > :map <SID>Add could define a mapping "<SNR>23_Add". When defining a function in a script, "s:" can be prepended to the name to make it local to the script. But when a mapping is executed from outside of the script, it doesn't know in which script the function was defined. To avoid this problem, use "<SID>" instead of "s:". The same translation is done as for mappings. This makes it possible to define a call to the function in a mapping. When a local function is executed, it runs in the context of the script it was defined in. This means that new functions and mappings it defines can also use "s:" or "<SID>" and it will use the same unique number as when the function itself was defined. Also, the "s:var" local script variables can be used. When executing an autocommand or a user command, it will run in the context of the script it was defined in. This makes it possible that the command calls a local function or uses a local mapping. In case the value is used in a context where <SID> cannot be correctly expanded, use the expand() function: > let &includexpr = expand('<SID>') .. 'My_includeexpr()' Otherwise, using "<SID>" outside of a script context is an error. If you need to get the script number to use in a complicated script, you can use this function: > func s:ScriptNumber() return matchstr(expand('<SID>'), '<SNR>\zs\d\+\ze_') endfunc The "<SNR>" will be shown when listing functions and mappings. This is useful to find out what they are defined to. The \|:scriptnames\| command can be used to see which scripts have been sourced and what their <SNR> number is. This is all {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature}. ============================================================================== 4. User-defined commands user-commands It is possible to define your own Ex commands. A user-defined command can act just like a built-in command (it can have a range or arguments, arguments can be completed as filenames or buffer names, etc), except that when the command is executed, it is transformed into a normal Ex command and then executed. For starters: See section \|40.2\| in the user manual. E183 E841 user-cmd-ambiguous All user defined commands must start with an uppercase letter, to avoid confusion with builtin commands. Exceptions are these builtin commands: :Next :X They cannot be used for a user defined command. ":Print" is also an existing command, but it is deprecated and can be overruled. The other characters of the user command can be uppercase letters, lowercase letters or digits. When using digits, note that other commands that take a numeric argument may become ambiguous. For example, the command ":Cc2" could be the user command ":Cc2" without an argument, or the command ":Cc" with argument "2". It is advised to put a space between the command name and the argument to avoid these problems. When using a user-defined command, the command can be abbreviated. However, if an abbreviation is not unique, an error will be issued. Furthermore, a built-in command will always take precedence. Example: > :command Rename ... :command Renumber ... :Rena " Means "Rename" :Renu " Means "Renumber" :Ren " Error - ambiguous :command Paste ... :P " The built-in :Print It is recommended that full names for user-defined commands are used in scripts. :com[mand] :com :command List all user-defined commands. When listing commands, the characters in the first columns are: ! Command has the -bang attribute " Command has the -register attribute \| Command has the -bar attribute b Command is local to current buffer (see below for details on attributes) The list can be filtered on command name with \|:filter\|, e.g., to list all commands with "Pyth" in the name: > filter Pyth command :com[mand] {cmd} List the user-defined commands that start with {cmd} :command-verbose When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing a command will also display where it was last defined. Example: > :verbose command TOhtml < Name Args Range Complete Definition ~ TOhtml 0 % :call Convert2HTML(<line1>, <line2>) ~ Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim-7.0/plugin/tohtml.vim ~ See \|:verbose-cmd\| for more information. E174 E182 :com[mand][!] [{attr}...] {cmd} {repl} Define a user command. The name of the command is {cmd} and its replacement text is {repl}. The command's attributes (see below) are {attr}. If the command already exists, an error is reported, unless a ! is specified, in which case the command is redefined. There is one exception: When sourcing a script again, a command that was previously defined in that script will be silently replaced. :delc[ommand] {cmd} :delc :delcommand E184 Delete the user-defined command {cmd}. :comc[lear] :comc :comclear Delete all user-defined commands. Command attributes ~ User-defined commands are treated by Vim just like any other Ex commands. They can have arguments, or have a range specified. Arguments are subject to completion as filenames, buffers, etc. Exactly how this works depends upon the command's attributes, which are specified when the command is defined. There are a number of attributes, split into four categories: argument handling, completion behavior, range handling, and special cases. The attributes are described below, by category. Argument handling ~ E175 E176 :command-nargs By default, a user defined command will take no arguments (and an error is reported if any are supplied). However, it is possible to specify that the command can take arguments, using the -nargs attribute. Valid cases are: -nargs=0 No arguments are allowed (the default) -nargs=1 Exactly one argument is required, it includes spaces -nargs=* Any number of arguments are allowed (0, 1, or many), separated by white space -nargs=? 0 or 1 arguments are allowed -nargs=+ Arguments must be supplied, but any number are allowed Arguments are considered to be separated by (unescaped) spaces or tabs in this context, except when there is one argument, then the white space is part of the argument. Note that arguments are used as text, not as expressions. Specifically, "s:var" will use the script-local variable in the script where the command was defined, not where it is invoked! Example: script1.vim: > :let s:error = "None" :command -nargs=1 Error echoerr <args> < script2.vim: > :source script1.vim :let s:error = "Wrong!" :Error s:error Executing script2.vim will result in "None" being echoed. Not what you intended! Calling a function may be an alternative. Completion behavior ~ :command-completion E179 E180 E181 :command-complete By default, the arguments of user defined commands do not undergo completion. However, by specifying one or the other of the following attributes, argument completion can be enabled: -complete=arglist file names in argument list -complete=augroup autocmd groups -complete=buffer buffer names -complete=behave :behave suboptions -complete=color color schemes -complete=command Ex command (and arguments) -complete=compiler compilers -complete=cscope \|:cscope\| suboptions -complete=dir directory names -complete=environment environment variable names -complete=event autocommand events -complete=expression Vim expression -complete=file file and directory names -complete=file_in_path file and directory names in \|'path'\| -complete=filetype filetype names \|'filetype'\| -complete=function function name -complete=help help subjects -complete=highlight highlight groups -complete=history :history suboptions -complete=locale locale names (as output of locale -a) -complete=mapclear buffer argument -complete=mapping mapping name -complete=menu menus -complete=messages \|:messages\| suboptions -complete=option options -complete=packadd optional package \|pack-add\| names -complete=shellcmd Shell command -complete=sign \|:sign\| suboptions -complete=syntax syntax file names \|'syntax'\| -complete=syntime \|:syntime\| suboptions -complete=tag tags -complete=tag_listfiles tags, file names are shown when CTRL-D is hit -complete=user user names -complete=var user variables -complete=custom,{func} custom completion, defined via {func} -complete=customlist,{func} custom completion, defined via {func} Note: That some completion methods might expand environment variables. Custom completion ~ :command-completion-custom :command-completion-customlist E467 E468 It is possible to define customized completion schemes via the "custom,{func}" or the "customlist,{func}" completion argument. The {func} part should be a function with the following signature: > :function {func}(ArgLead, CmdLine, CursorPos) The function need not use all these arguments. The function should provide the completion candidates as the return value. For the "custom" argument, the function should return the completion candidates one per line in a newline separated string. For the "customlist" argument, the function should return the completion candidates as a Vim List. Non-string items in the list are ignored. The function arguments are: ArgLead the leading portion of the argument currently being completed on CmdLine the entire command line CursorPos the cursor position in it (byte index) The function may use these for determining context. For the "custom" argument, it is not necessary to filter candidates against the (implicit pattern in) ArgLead. Vim will filter the candidates with its regexp engine after function return, and this is probably more efficient in most cases. For the "customlist" argument, Vim will not filter the returned completion candidates and the user supplied function should filter the candidates. The following example lists user names to a Finger command > :com -complete=custom,ListUsers -nargs=1 Finger !finger <args> :fun ListUsers(A,L,P) : return system("cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd") :endfun The following example completes filenames from the directories specified in the 'path' option: > :com -nargs=1 -bang -complete=customlist,EditFileComplete \ EditFile edit<bang> <args> :fun EditFileComplete(A,L,P) : return split(globpath(&path, a:A), "\n") :endfun < This example does not work for file names with spaces! Range handling ~ E177 E178 :command-range :command-count By default, user-defined commands do not accept a line number range. However, it is possible to specify that the command does take a range (the -range attribute), or that it takes an arbitrary count value, either in the line number position (-range=N, like the \|:split\| command) or as a "count" argument (-count=N, like the \|:Next\| command). The count will then be available in the argument with \|<count>\|. Possible attributes are: -range Range allowed, default is current line -range=% Range allowed, default is whole file (1,$) -range=N A count (default N) which is specified in the line number position (like \|:split\|); allows for zero line number. -count=N A count (default N) which is specified either in the line number position, or as an initial argument (like \|:Next\|). -count acts like -count=0 Note that -range=N and -count=N are mutually exclusive - only one should be specified. :command-addr It is possible that the special characters in the range like ., $ or % which by default correspond to the current line, last line and the whole buffer, relate to arguments, (loaded) buffers, windows or tab pages. Possible values are (second column is the short name used in listing): -addr=lines Range of lines (this is the default for -range) -addr=arguments arg Range for arguments -addr=buffers buf Range for buffers (also not loaded buffers) -addr=loaded_buffers load Range for loaded buffers -addr=windows win Range for windows -addr=tabs tab Range for tab pages -addr=quickfix qf Range for quickfix entries -addr=other ? other kind of range; can use ".", "$" and "%" as with "lines" (this is the default for -count) Special cases ~ :command-bang :command-bar :command-register :command-buffer There are some special cases as well: -bang The command can take a ! modifier (like :q or :w) -bar The command can be followed by a "\|" and another command. A "\|" inside the command argument is not allowed then. Also checks for a " to start a comment. -register The first argument to the command can be an optional register name (like :del, :put, :yank). -buffer The command will only be available in the current buffer. In the cases of the -count and -register attributes, if the optional argument is supplied, it is removed from the argument list and is available to the replacement text separately. Note that these arguments can be abbreviated, but that is a deprecated feature. Use the full name for new scripts. Replacement text ~ The replacement text {repl} for a user defined command is scanned for special escape sequences, using <...> notation. Escape sequences are replaced with values from the entered command line, and all other text is copied unchanged. The resulting string is executed as an Ex command. To avoid the replacement use <lt> in place of the initial <. Thus to include "<bang>" literally use "<lt>bang>". The valid escape sequences are <line1> <line1> The starting line of the command range. <line2> <line2> The final line of the command range. <range> <range> The number of items in the command range: 0, 1 or 2 <count> <count> Any count supplied (as described for the '-range' and '-count' attributes). <bang> <bang> (See the '-bang' attribute) Expands to a ! if the command was executed with a ! modifier, otherwise expands to nothing. <mods> <q-mods> :command-modifiers <mods> The command modifiers, if specified. Otherwise, expands to nothing. Supported modifiers are \|:aboveleft\|, \|:belowright\|, \|:botright\|, \|:browse\|, \|:confirm\|, \|:hide\|, \|:keepalt\|, \|:keepjumps\|, \|:keepmarks\|, \|:keeppatterns\|, \|:leftabove\|, \|:lockmarks\|, \|:noswapfile\| \|:rightbelow\|, \|:silent\|, \|:tab\|, \|:topleft\|, \|:verbose\|, and \|:vertical\|. Note that these are not yet supported: \|:noautocmd\|, \|:sandbox\| and \|:unsilent\|. Examples: > command! -nargs=+ -complete=file MyEdit \ for f in expand(<q-args>, 0, 1) \| \ exe '<mods> split ' . f \| \ endfor function! SpecialEdit(files, mods) for f in expand(a:files, 0, 1) exe a:mods . ' split ' . f endfor endfunction command! -nargs=+ -complete=file Sedit \ call SpecialEdit(<q-args>, <q-mods>) < <reg> <register> <reg> (See the '-register' attribute) The optional register, if specified. Otherwise, expands to nothing. <register> is a synonym for this. <args> <args> The command arguments, exactly as supplied (but as noted above, any count or register can consume some of the arguments, which are then not part of <args>). <lt> A single '<' (Less-Than) character. This is needed if you want to get a literal copy of one of these escape sequences into the expansion - for example, to get <bang>, use <lt>bang>. <q-args> If the first two characters of an escape sequence are "q-" (for example, <q-args>) then the value is quoted in such a way as to make it a valid value for use in an expression. This uses the argument as one single value. When there is no argument <q-args> is an empty string. <f-args> To allow commands to pass their arguments on to a user-defined function, there is a special form <f-args> ("function args"). This splits the command arguments at spaces and tabs, quotes each argument individually, and the <f-args> sequence is replaced by the comma-separated list of quoted arguments. See the Mycmd example below. If no arguments are given <f-args> is removed. To embed whitespace into an argument of <f-args>, prepend a backslash. <f-args> replaces every pair of backslashes (\\) with one backslash. A backslash followed by a character other than white space or a backslash remains unmodified. Overview: command <f-args> ~ XX ab 'ab' XX a\b 'a\b' XX a\ b 'a b' XX a\ b 'a ', 'b' XX a\\b 'a\b' XX a\\ b 'a\', 'b' XX a\\\b 'a\\b' XX a\\\ b 'a\ b' XX a\\\\b 'a\\b' XX a\\\\ b 'a\\', 'b' Examples > " Delete everything after here to the end :com Ddel +,$d " Rename the current buffer :com -nargs=1 -bang -complete=file Ren f <args>\|w<bang> " Replace a range with the contents of a file " (Enter this all as one line) :com -range -nargs=1 -complete=file Replace <line1>-pu_\|<line1>,<line2>d\|r <args>\|<line1>d " Count the number of lines in the range :com! -range -nargs=0 Lines echo <line2> - <line1> + 1 "lines" " Call a user function (example of <f-args>) :com -nargs=* Mycmd call Myfunc(<f-args>) When executed as: > :Mycmd arg1 arg2 This will invoke: > :call Myfunc("arg1","arg2") :" A more substantial example :function Allargs(command) : let i = 0 : while i < argc() : if filereadable(argv(i)) : execute "e " . argv(i) : execute a:command : endif : let i = i + 1 : endwhile :endfunction :command -nargs=+ -complete=command Allargs call Allargs(<q-args>) The command Allargs takes any Vim command(s) as argument and executes it on all files in the argument list. Usage example (note use of the "e" flag to ignore errors and the "update" command to write modified buffers): > :Allargs %s/foo/bar/ge\|update This will invoke: > :call Allargs("%s/foo/bar/ge\|update") < If the command is defined in Vim9 script (a script that starts with `:vim9script` and in a `:def` function) then {repl} will be executed as in Vim9 script. Thus this depends on where the command is defined, not where it is used. When defining a user command in a script, it will be able to call functions local to the script and use mappings local to the script. When the user invokes the user command, it will run in the context of the script it was defined in. This matters if \|<SID>\| is used in a command. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	69.14 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Getting started mbyte-first This is a summary of the multibyte features in Vim. If you are lucky it works as described and you can start using Vim without much trouble. If something doesn't work you will have to read the rest. Don't be surprised if it takes quite a bit of work and experimenting to make Vim use all the multibyte features. Unfortunately, every system has its own way to deal with multibyte languages and it is quite complicated. LOCALE First of all, you must make sure your current locale is set correctly. If your system has been installed to use the language, it probably works right away. If not, you can often make it work by setting the $LANG environment variable in your shell: > setenv LANG ja_JP.EUC Unfortunately, the name of the locale depends on your system. Japanese might also be called "ja_JP.EUCjp" or just "ja". To see what is currently used: > :language To change the locale inside Vim use: > :language ja_JP.EUC Vim will give an error message if this doesn't work. This is a good way to experiment and find the locale name you want to use. But it's always better to set the locale in the shell, so that it is used right from the start. See \|mbyte-locale\| for details. ENCODING If your locale works properly, Vim will try to set the 'encoding' option accordingly. If this doesn't work you can overrule its value: > :set encoding=utf-8 See \|encoding-values\| for a list of acceptable values. The result is that all the text that is used inside Vim will be in this encoding. Not only the text in the buffers, but also in registers, variables, etc. This also means that changing the value of 'encoding' makes the existing text invalid! The text doesn't change, but it will be displayed wrong. You can edit files in another encoding than what 'encoding' is set to. Vim will convert the file when you read it and convert it back when you write it. See 'fileencoding', 'fileencodings' and \|++enc\|. DISPLAY AND FONTS If you are working in a terminal (emulator) you must make sure it accepts the same encoding as which Vim is working with. If this is not the case, you can use the 'termencoding' option to make Vim convert text automatically. For the GUI you must select fonts that work with the current 'encoding'. This is the difficult part. It depends on the system you are using, the locale and a few other things. See the chapters on fonts: \|mbyte-fonts-X11\| for X-Windows and \|mbyte-fonts-MSwin\| for MS-Windows. For GTK+ 2, you can skip most of this section. The option 'guifontset' does no longer exist. You only need to set 'guifont' and everything should "just work". If your system comes with Xft2 and fontconfig and the current font does not contain a certain glyph, a different font will be used automatically if available. The 'guifontwide' option is still supported but usually you do not need to set it. It is only necessary if the automatic font selection does not suit your needs. For X11 you can set the 'guifontset' option to a list of fonts that together cover the characters that are used. Example for Korean: > :set guifontset=k12,r12 Alternatively, you can set 'guifont' and 'guifontwide'. 'guifont' is used for the single-width characters, 'guifontwide' for the double-width characters. Thus the 'guifontwide' font must be exactly twice as wide as 'guifont'. Example for UTF-8: > :set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 :set guifontwide=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-180-iso10646-1 You can also set 'guifont' alone, Vim will try to find a matching 'guifontwide' for you. INPUT There are several ways to enter multibyte characters: - For X11 XIM can be used. See \|XIM\|. - For MS-Windows IME can be used. See \|IME\|. - For all systems keymaps can be used. See \|mbyte-keymap\|. The options 'iminsert', 'imsearch' and 'imcmdline' can be used to choose the different input methods or disable them temporarily. ============================================================================== 2. Locale mbyte-locale The easiest setup is when your whole system uses the locale you want to work in. But it's also possible to set the locale for one shell you are working in, or just use a certain locale inside Vim. WHAT IS A LOCALE? locale There are many languages in the world. And there are different cultures and environments at least as many as the number of languages. A linguistic environment corresponding to an area is called "locale". This includes information about the used language, the charset, collating order for sorting, date format, currency format and so on. For Vim only the language and charset really matter. You can only use a locale if your system has support for it. Some systems have only a few locales, especially in the USA. The language which you want to use may not be on your system. In that case you might be able to install it as an extra package. Check your system documentation for how to do that. The location in which the locales are installed varies from system to system. For example, "/usr/share/locale" or "/usr/lib/locale". See your system's setlocale() man page. Looking in these directories will show you the exact name of each locale. Mostly upper/lowercase matters, thus "ja_JP.EUC" and "ja_jp.euc" are different. Some systems have a locale.alias file, which allows translation from a short name like "nl" to the full name "nl_NL.ISO_8859-1". Note that X-windows has its own locale stuff. And unfortunately uses locale names different from what is used elsewhere. This is confusing! For Vim it matters what the setlocale() function uses, which is generally NOT the X-windows stuff. You might have to do some experiments to find out what really works. locale-name The (simplified) format of \|locale\| name is: language or language_territory or language_territory.codeset Territory means the country (or part of it), codeset means the \|charset\|. For example, the locale name "ja_JP.eucJP" means: ja the language is Japanese JP the country is Japan eucJP the codeset is EUC-JP But it also could be "ja", "ja_JP.EUC", "ja_JP.ujis", etc. And unfortunately, the locale name for a specific language, territory and codeset is not unified and depends on your system. Examples of locale name: charset language locale name ~ GB2312 Chinese (simplified) zh_CN.EUC, zh_CN.GB2312 Big5 Chinese (traditional) zh_TW.BIG5, zh_TW.Big5 CNS-11643 Chinese (traditional) zh_TW EUC-JP Japanese ja, ja_JP.EUC, ja_JP.ujis, ja_JP.eucJP Shift_JIS Japanese ja_JP.SJIS, ja_JP.Shift_JIS EUC-KR Korean ko, ko_KR.EUC USING A LOCALE To start using a locale for the whole system, see the documentation of your system. Mostly you need to set it in a configuration file in "/etc". To use a locale in a shell, set the $LANG environment value. When you want to use Korean and the \|locale\| name is "ko", do this: sh: export LANG=ko csh: setenv LANG ko You can put this in your ~/.profile or ~/.cshrc file to always use it. To use a locale in Vim only, use the \|:language\| command: > :language ko Put this in your ~/.vimrc file to use it always. Or specify $LANG when starting Vim: sh: LANG=ko vim {vim-arguments} csh: env LANG=ko vim {vim-arguments} You could make a small shell script for this. ============================================================================== 3. Encoding mbyte-encoding Vim uses the 'encoding' option to specify how characters are identified and encoded when they are used inside Vim. This applies to all the places where text is used, including buffers (files loaded into memory), registers and variables. charset codeset Charset is another name for encoding. There are subtle differences, but these don't matter when using Vim. "codeset" is another similar name. Each character is encoded as one or more bytes. When all characters are encoded with one byte, we call this a single-byte encoding. The most often used one is called "latin1". This limits the number of characters to 256. Some of these are control characters, thus even fewer can be used for text. When some characters use two or more bytes, we call this a multibyte encoding. This allows using much more than 256 characters, which is required for most East Asian languages. Most multibyte encodings use one byte for the first 127 characters. These are equal to ASCII, which makes it easy to exchange plain-ASCII text, no matter what language is used. Thus you might see the right text even when the encoding was set wrong. encoding-names Vim can use many different character encodings. There are three major groups: 1 8bit Single-byte encodings, 256 different characters. Mostly used in USA and Europe. Example: ISO-8859-1 (Latin1). All characters occupy one screen cell only. 2 2byte Double-byte encodings, over 10000 different characters. Mostly used in Asian countries. Example: euc-kr (Korean) The number of screen cells is equal to the number of bytes (except for euc-jp when the first byte is 0x8e). u Unicode Universal encoding, can replace all others. ISO 10646. Millions of different characters. Example: UTF-8. The relation between bytes and screen cells is complex. Other encodings cannot be used by Vim internally. But files in other encodings can be edited by using conversion, see 'fileencoding'. Note that all encodings must use ASCII for the characters up to 128 (except when compiled for EBCDIC). Supported 'encoding' values are: encoding-values 1 latin1 8-bit characters (ISO 8859-1, also used for cp1252) 1 iso-8859-n ISO_8859 variant (n = 2 to 15) 1 koi8-r Russian 1 koi8-u Ukrainian 1 macroman MacRoman (Macintosh encoding) 1 8bit-{name} any 8-bit encoding (Vim specific name) 1 cp437 similar to iso-8859-1 1 cp737 similar to iso-8859-7 1 cp775 Baltic 1 cp850 similar to iso-8859-4 1 cp852 similar to iso-8859-1 1 cp855 similar to iso-8859-2 1 cp857 similar to iso-8859-5 1 cp860 similar to iso-8859-9 1 cp861 similar to iso-8859-1 1 cp862 similar to iso-8859-1 1 cp863 similar to iso-8859-8 1 cp865 similar to iso-8859-1 1 cp866 similar to iso-8859-5 1 cp869 similar to iso-8859-7 1 cp874 Thai 1 cp1250 Czech, Polish, etc. 1 cp1251 Cyrillic 1 cp1253 Greek 1 cp1254 Turkish 1 cp1255 Hebrew 1 cp1256 Arabic 1 cp1257 Baltic 1 cp1258 Vietnamese 1 cp{number} MS-Windows: any installed single-byte codepage 2 cp932 Japanese (Windows only) 2 euc-jp Japanese (Unix only) 2 sjis Japanese (Unix only) 2 cp949 Korean (Unix and Windows) 2 euc-kr Korean (Unix only) 2 cp936 simplified Chinese (Windows only) 2 euc-cn simplified Chinese (Unix only) 2 cp950 traditional Chinese (on Unix alias for big5) 2 big5 traditional Chinese (on Windows alias for cp950) 2 euc-tw traditional Chinese (Unix only) 2 2byte-{name} Unix: any double-byte encoding (Vim specific name) 2 cp{number} MS-Windows: any installed double-byte codepage u utf-8 32 bit UTF-8 encoded Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646-1) u ucs-2 16 bit UCS-2 encoded Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646-1) u ucs-2le like ucs-2, little endian u utf-16 ucs-2 extended with double-words for more characters u utf-16le like utf-16, little endian u ucs-4 32 bit UCS-4 encoded Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646-1) u ucs-4le like ucs-4, little endian The {name} can be any encoding name that your system supports. It is passed to iconv() to convert between the encoding of the file and the current locale. For MS-Windows "cp{number}" means using codepage {number}. Examples: > :set encoding=8bit-cp1252 :set encoding=2byte-cp932 The MS-Windows codepage 1252 is very similar to latin1. For practical reasons the same encoding is used and it's called latin1. 'isprint' can be used to display the characters 0x80 - 0xA0 or not. Several aliases can be used, they are translated to one of the names above. An incomplete list: 1 ansi same as latin1 (obsolete, for backward compatibility) 2 japan Japanese: on Unix "euc-jp", on MS-Windows cp932 2 korea Korean: on Unix "euc-kr", on MS-Windows cp949 2 prc simplified Chinese: on Unix "euc-cn", on MS-Windows cp936 2 chinese same as "prc" 2 taiwan traditional Chinese: on Unix "euc-tw", on MS-Windows cp950 u utf8 same as utf-8 u unicode same as ucs-2 u ucs2be same as ucs-2 (big endian) u ucs-2be same as ucs-2 (big endian) u ucs-4be same as ucs-4 (big endian) u utf-32 same as ucs-4 u utf-32le same as ucs-4le default stands for the default value of 'encoding', depends on the environment For the UCS codes the byte order matters. This is tricky, use UTF-8 whenever you can. The default is to use big-endian (most significant byte comes first): name bytes char ~ ucs-2 11 22 1122 ucs-2le 22 11 1122 ucs-4 11 22 33 44 11223344 ucs-4le 44 33 22 11 11223344 On MS-Windows systems you often want to use "ucs-2le", because it uses little endian UCS-2. There are a few encodings which are similar, but not exactly the same. Vim treats them as if they were different encodings, so that conversion will be done when needed. You might want to use the similar name to avoid conversion or when conversion is not possible: cp932, shift-jis, sjis cp936, euc-cn encoding-table Normally 'encoding' is equal to your current locale and 'termencoding' is empty. This means that your keyboard and display work with characters encoded in your current locale, and Vim uses the same characters internally. You can make Vim use characters in a different encoding by setting the 'encoding' option to a different value. Since the keyboard and display still use the current locale, conversion needs to be done. The 'termencoding' then takes over the value of the current locale, so Vim converts between 'encoding' and 'termencoding'. Example: > :let &termencoding = &encoding :set encoding=utf-8 However, not all combinations of values are possible. The table below tells you how each of the nine combinations works. This is further restricted by not all conversions being possible, iconv() being present, etc. Since this depends on the system used, no detailed list can be given. ('tenc' is the short name for 'termencoding' and 'enc' short for 'encoding') 'tenc' 'enc' remark ~ 8bit 8bit Works. When 'termencoding' is different from 'encoding' typing and displaying may be wrong for some characters, Vim does NOT perform conversion (set 'encoding' to "utf-8" to get this). 8bit 2byte MS-Windows: works for all codepages installed on your system; you can only type 8bit characters; Other systems: does NOT work. 8bit Unicode Works, but only 8bit characters can be typed directly (others through digraphs, keymaps, etc.); in a terminal you can only see 8bit characters; the GUI can show all characters that the 'guifont' supports. 2byte 8bit Works, but typing non-ASCII characters might be a problem. 2byte 2byte MS-Windows: works for all codepages installed on your system; typing characters might be a problem when locale is different from 'encoding'. Other systems: Only works when 'termencoding' is equal to 'encoding', you might as well leave it empty. 2byte Unicode works, Vim will translate typed characters. Unicode 8bit works (unusual) Unicode 2byte does NOT work Unicode Unicode works very well (leaving 'termencoding' empty works the same way, because all Unicode is handled internally as UTF-8) CONVERSION charset-conversion Vim will automatically convert from one to another encoding in several places: - When reading a file and 'fileencoding' is different from 'encoding' - When writing a file and 'fileencoding' is different from 'encoding' - When displaying characters and 'termencoding' is different from 'encoding' - When reading input and 'termencoding' is different from 'encoding' - When displaying messages and the encoding used for LC_MESSAGES differs from 'encoding' (requires a gettext version that supports this). - When reading a Vim script where \|:scriptencoding\| is different from 'encoding'. - When reading or writing a \|viminfo\| file. Most of these require the \|+iconv\| feature. Conversion for reading and writing files may also be specified with the 'charconvert' option. Useful utilities for converting the charset: All: iconv GNU iconv can convert most encodings. Unicode is used as the intermediate encoding, which allows conversion from and to all other encodings. See http://www.gnu.org/directory/libiconv.html. Japanese: nkf Nkf is "Network Kanji code conversion Filter". One of the most unique facility of nkf is the guess of the input Kanji code. So, you don't need to know what the inputting file's \|charset\| is. When convert to EUC-JP from ISO-2022-JP or Shift_JIS, simply do the following command in Vim: :%!nkf -e Nkf can be found at: http://www.sfc.wide.ad.jp/~max/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/nkf-1.62.tar.gz Chinese: hc Hc is "Hanzi Converter". Hc convert a GB file to a Big5 file, or Big5 file to GB file. Hc can be found at: ftp://ftp.cuhk.hk/pub/chinese/ifcss/software/unix/convert/hc-30.tar.gz Korean: hmconv Hmconv is Korean code conversion utility especially for E-mail. It can convert between EUC-KR and ISO-2022-KR. Hmconv can be found at: ftp://ftp.kaist.ac.kr/pub/hangul/code/hmconv/ Multilingual: lv Lv is a Powerful Multilingual File Viewer. And it can be worked as \|charset\| converter. Supported \|charset\|: ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-KR, EUC-CN, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, EUC-TW, UTF-7, UTF-8, ISO-8859 series, Shift_JIS, Big5 and HZ. Lv can be found at: http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~nrt/lv/index.html mbyte-conversion When reading and writing files in an encoding different from 'encoding', conversion needs to be done. These conversions are supported: - All conversions between Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1), UTF-8, UCS-2 and UCS-4 are handled internally. - For MS-Windows, when 'encoding' is a Unicode encoding, conversion from and to any codepage should work. - Conversion specified with 'charconvert' - Conversion with the iconv library, if it is available. Old versions of GNU iconv() may cause the conversion to fail (they request a very large buffer, more than Vim is willing to provide). Try getting another iconv() implementation. iconv-dynamic On MS-Windows Vim can be compiled with the \|+iconv/dyn\| feature. This means Vim will search for the "iconv.dll" and "libiconv.dll" libraries. When neither of them can be found Vim will still work but some conversions won't be possible. ============================================================================== 4. Using a terminal mbyte-terminal The GUI fully supports multibyte characters. It is also possible in a terminal, if the terminal supports the same encoding that Vim uses. Thus this is less flexible. For example, you can run Vim in a xterm with added multibyte support and/or \|XIM\|. Examples are kterm (Kanji term) and hanterm (for Korean), Eterm (Enlightened terminal) and rxvt. If your terminal does not support the right encoding, you can set the 'termencoding' option. Vim will then convert the typed characters from 'termencoding' to 'encoding'. And displayed text will be converted from 'encoding' to 'termencoding'. If the encoding supported by the terminal doesn't include all the characters that Vim uses, this leads to lost characters. This may mess up the display. If you use a terminal that supports Unicode, such as the xterm mentioned below, it should work just fine, since nearly every character set can be converted to Unicode without loss of information. UTF-8 IN XFREE86 XTERM UTF8-xterm This is a short explanation of how to use UTF-8 character encoding in the xterm that comes with XFree86 by Thomas Dickey (text by Markus Kuhn). Get the latest xterm version which has now UTF-8 support: http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.html Compile it with "./configure --enable-wide-chars ; make" Also get the ISO 10646-1 version of various fonts, which is available on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz and install the font as described in the README file. Now start xterm with > xterm -u8 -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 or, for bigger character: > xterm -u8 -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1 and you will have a working UTF-8 terminal emulator. Try both > cat utf-8-demo.txt vim utf-8-demo.txt with the demo text that comes with ucs-fonts.tar.gz in order to see whether there are any problems with UTF-8 in your xterm. For Vim you may need to set 'encoding' to "utf-8". ============================================================================== 5. Fonts on X11 mbyte-fonts-X11 Unfortunately, using fonts in X11 is complicated. The name of a single-byte font is a long string. For multibyte fonts we need several of these... Note: Most of this is no longer relevant for GTK+ 2. Selecting a font via its XLFD is not supported; see 'guifont' for an example of how to set the font. Do yourself a favor and ignore the \|XLFD\| and \|xfontset\| sections below. First of all, Vim only accepts fixed-width fonts for displaying text. You cannot use proportionally spaced fonts. This excludes many of the available (and nicer looking) fonts. However, for menus and tooltips any font can be used. Note that Display and Input are independent. It is possible to see your language even though you have no input method for it. You should get a default font for menus and tooltips that works, but it might be ugly. Read the following to find out how to select a better font. X LOGICAL FONT DESCRIPTION (XLFD) XLFD XLFD is the X font name and contains the information about the font size, charset, etc. The name is in this format: FOUNDRY-FAMILY-WEIGHT-SLANT-WIDTH-STYLE-PIXEL-POINT-X-Y-SPACE-AVE-CR-CE Each field means: - FOUNDRY: FOUNDRY field. The company that created the font. - FAMILY: FAMILY_NAME field. Basic font family name. (helvetica, gothic, times, etc) - WEIGHT: WEIGHT_NAME field. How thick the letters are. (light, medium, bold, etc) - SLANT: SLANT field. r: Roman (no slant) i: Italic o: Oblique ri: Reverse Italic ro: Reverse Oblique ot: Other number: Scaled font - WIDTH: SETWIDTH_NAME field. Width of characters. (normal, condensed, narrow, double wide) - STYLE: ADD_STYLE_NAME field. Extra info to describe font. (Serif, Sans Serif, Informal, Decorated, etc) - PIXEL: PIXEL_SIZE field. Height, in pixels, of characters. - POINT: POINT_SIZE field. Ten times height of characters in points. - X: RESOLUTION_X field. X resolution (dots per inch). - Y: RESOLUTION_Y field. Y resolution (dots per inch). - SPACE: SPACING field. p: Proportional m: Monospaced c: CharCell - AVE: AVERAGE_WIDTH field. Ten times average width in pixels. - CR: CHARSET_REGISTRY field. The name of the charset group. - CE: CHARSET_ENCODING field. The rest of the charset name. For some charsets, such as JIS X 0208, if this field is 0, code points has the same value as GL, and GR if 1. For example, in case of a 16 dots font corresponding to JIS X 0208, it is written like: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-110-100-100-c-160-jisx0208.1990-0 X FONTSET fontset xfontset A single-byte charset is typically associated with one font. For multibyte charsets a combination of fonts is often used. This means that one group of characters are used from one font and another group from another font (which might be double wide). This collection of fonts is called a fontset. Which fonts are required in a fontset depends on the current locale. X windows maintains a table of which groups of characters are required for a locale. You have to specify all the fonts that a locale requires in the 'guifontset' option. Setting the 'guifontset' option also means that all font names will be handled as a fontset name. Also the ones used for the "font" argument of the \|:highlight\| command. Note the difference between 'guifont' and 'guifontset': In 'guifont' the comma-separated names are alternative names, one of which will be used. In 'guifontset' the whole string is one fontset name, including the commas. It is not possible to specify alternative fontset names. This example works on many X11 systems: > :set guifontset=---medium-r-normal--16----c--- < The fonts must match with the current locale. If fonts for the character sets that the current locale uses are not included, setting 'guifontset' will fail. NOTE: The fontset always uses the current locale, even though 'encoding' may be set to use a different charset. In that situation you might want to use 'guifont' and 'guifontwide' instead of 'guifontset'. Example: \|charset\| language "groups of characters" ~ GB2312 Chinese (simplified) ISO-8859-1 and GB 2312 Big5 Chinese (traditional) ISO-8859-1 and Big5 CNS-11643 Chinese (traditional) ISO-8859-1, CNS 11643-1 and CNS 11643-2 EUC-JP Japanese JIS X 0201 and JIS X 0208 EUC-KR Korean ISO-8859-1 and KS C 5601 (KS X 1001) You can search for fonts using the xlsfonts command. For example, when you're searching for a font for KS C 5601: > xlsfonts \| grep ksc5601 This is complicated and confusing. You might want to consult the X-Windows documentation if there is something you don't understand. base_font_name_list When you have found the names of the fonts you want to use, you need to set the 'guifontset' option. You specify the list by concatenating the font names and putting a comma in between them. For example, when you use the ja_JP.eucJP locale, this requires JIS X 0201 and JIS X 0208. You could supply a list of fonts that explicitly specifies the charsets, like: > :set guifontset=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-140-jisx0208.1983-0, \-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-jisx0201.1976-0 Alternatively, you can supply a base font name list that omits the charset name, letting X-Windows select font characters required for the locale. For example: > :set guifontset=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-140, \-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70 Alternatively, you can supply a single base font name that allows X-Windows to select from all available fonts. For example: > :set guifontset=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-* Alternatively, you can specify alias names. See the fonts.alias file in the fonts directory (e.g., /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/). For example: > :set guifontset=k14,r14 < E253 Note that in East Asian fonts, the standard character cell is square. When mixing a Latin font and an East Asian font, the East Asian font width should be twice the Latin font width. If 'guifontset' is not empty, the "font" argument of the \|:highlight\| command is also interpreted as a fontset. For example, you should use for highlighting: > :hi Comment font=english_font,your_font If you use a wrong "font" argument you will get an error message. Also make sure that you set 'guifontset' before setting fonts for highlight groups. USING RESOURCE FILES Instead of specifying 'guifontset', you can set X11 resources and Vim will pick them up. This is only for people who know how X resource files work. For Motif and Athena insert these three lines in your $HOME/.Xdefaults file: Vim.font: \|base_font_name_list\| VimfontSet: \|base_font_name_list\| VimfontList: your_language_font Note: Vim.font is for text area. VimfontSet is for menu. VimfontList is for menu (for Motif GUI) For example, when you are using Japanese and a 14 dots font, > Vim.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-* VimfontSet: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14- VimfontList: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14- < or: > Vimfont: k14,r14 VimfontSet: k14,r14 VimfontList: k14,r14 < To have them take effect immediately you will have to do > xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults Otherwise you will have to stop and restart the X server before the changes take effect. The GTK+ version of GUI Vim does not use .Xdefaults, use ~/.gtkrc instead. The default mostly works OK. But for the menus you might have to change it. Example: > style "default" { fontset="---medium-r-normal--14----c---" } widget_class "" style "default" ============================================================================== 6. Fonts on MS-Windows mbyte-fonts-MSwin The simplest is to use the font dialog to select fonts and try them out. You can find this at the "Edit/Select Font..." menu. Once you find a font name that works well you can use this command to see its name: > :set guifont Then add a command to your \|gvimrc\| file to set 'guifont': > :set guifont=courier_new:h12 ============================================================================== 7. Input on X11 mbyte-XIM X INPUT METHOD (XIM) BACKGROUND XIM xim x-input-method XIM is an international input module for X. There are two kinds of structures, Xlib unit type and \|IM-server\| (Input-Method server) type. \|IM-server\| type is suitable for complex input, such as CJK. - IM-server IM-server In \|IM-server\| type input structures, the input event is handled by either of the two ways: FrontEnd system and BackEnd system. In the FrontEnd system, input events are snatched by the \|IM-server\| first, then \|IM-server\| give the application the result of input. On the other hand, the BackEnd system works reverse order. MS Windows adopt BackEnd system. In X, most of \|IM-server\|s adopt FrontEnd system. The demerit of BackEnd system is the large overhead in communication, but it provides safe synchronization with no restrictions on applications. For example, there are xwnmo and kinput2 Japanese \|IM-server\|, both are FrontEnd system. Xwnmo is distributed with Wnn (see below), kinput2 can be found at: ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/x11/kinput2/ For Chinese, there's a great XIM server named "xcin", you can input both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters. And it can accept other locale if you make a correct input table. Xcin can be found at: http://cle.linux.org.tw/xcin/ Others are scim: http://scim.freedesktop.org/ and fcitx: http://www.fcitx.org/ - Conversion Server conversion-server Some system needs additional server: conversion server. Most of Japanese \|IM-server\|s need it, Kana-Kanji conversion server. For Chinese inputting, it depends on the method of inputting, in some methods, PinYin or ZhuYin to HanZi conversion server is needed. For Korean inputting, if you want to input Hanja, Hangul-Hanja conversion server is needed. For example, the Japanese inputting process is divided into 2 steps. First we pre-input Hira-gana, second Kana-Kanji conversion. There are so many Kanji characters (6349 Kanji characters are defined in JIS X 0208) and the number of Hira-gana characters are 76. So, first, we pre-input text as pronounced in Hira-gana, second, we convert Hira-gana to Kanji or Kata-Kana, if needed. There are some Kana-Kanji conversion server: jserver (distributed with Wnn, see below) and canna. Canna can be found at: http://canna.sourceforge.jp/ There is a good input system: Wnn4.2. Wnn 4.2 contains, xwnmo (\|IM-server\|) jserver (Japanese Kana-Kanji conversion server) cserver (Chinese PinYin or ZhuYin to simplified HanZi conversion server) tserver (Chinese PinYin or ZhuYin to traditional HanZi conversion server) kserver (Hangul-Hanja conversion server) Wnn 4.2 for several systems can be found at various places on the internet. Use the RPM or port for your system. - Input Style xim-input-style When inputting CJK, there are four areas: 1. The area to display of the input while it is being composed 2. The area to display the currently active input mode. 3. The area to display the next candidate for the selection. 4. The area to display other tools. The third area is needed when converting. For example, in Japanese inputting, multiple Kanji characters could have the same pronunciation, so a sequence of Hira-gana characters could map to a distinct sequence of Kanji characters. The first and second areas are defined in international input of X with the names of "Preedit Area", "Status Area" respectively. The third and fourth areas are not defined and are left to be managed by the \|IM-server\|. In the international input, four input styles have been defined using combinations of Preedit Area and Status Area: \|OnTheSpot\|, \|OffTheSpot\|, \|OverTheSpot\| and \|Root\|. Currently, GUI Vim supports three styles, \|OverTheSpot\|, \|OffTheSpot\| and \|Root\|. When compiled with \|+GUI_GTK\| feature, GUI Vim supports two styles, \|OnTheSpot\| and \|OverTheSpot\|. You can select the style with the 'imstyle' option. . on-the-spot OnTheSpot* Preedit Area and Status Area are performed by the client application in the area of application. The client application is directed by the \|IM-server\| to display all pre-edit data at the location of text insertion. The client registers callbacks invoked by the input method during pre-editing. . over-the-spot OverTheSpot* Status Area is created in a fixed position within the area of application, in case of Vim, the position is the additional status line. Preedit Area is made at present input position of application. The input method displays pre-edit data in a window which it brings up directly over the text insertion position. . off-the-spot OffTheSpot* Preedit Area and Status Area are performed in the area of application, in case of Vim, the area is additional status line. The client application provides display windows for the pre-edit data to the input method which displays into them directly. . root-window Root* Preedit Area and Status Area are outside of the application. The input method displays all pre-edit data in a separate area of the screen in a window specific to the input method. USING XIM multibyte-input E284 E286 E287 E288 E285 E289 Note that Display and Input are independent. It is possible to see your language even though you have no input method for it. But when your Display method doesn't match your Input method, the text will be displayed wrong. Note: You can not use IM unless you specify 'guifontset'. Therefore, Latin users, you have to also use 'guifontset' if you use IM. To input your language you should run the \|IM-server\| which supports your language and \|conversion-server\| if needed. The next 3 lines should be put in your ~/.Xdefaults file. They are common for all X applications which uses \|XIM\|. If you already use \|XIM\|, you can skip this. > international: True .inputMethod: your_input_server_name .preeditType: your_input_style < input_server_name is your \|IM-server\| name (check your \|IM-server\| manual). your_input_style is one of \|OverTheSpot\|, \|OffTheSpot\|, \|Root\|. See also \|xim-input-style\|. international may not be necessary if you use X11R6. .inputMethod and .preeditType are optional if you use X11R6. For example, when you are using kinput2 as \|IM-server\|, > international: True .inputMethod: kinput2 .preeditType: OverTheSpot < When using \|OverTheSpot\|, GUI Vim always connects to the IM Server even in Normal mode, so you can input your language with commands like "f" and "r". But when using one of the other two methods, GUI Vim connects to the IM Server only if it is not in Normal mode. If your IM Server does not support \|OverTheSpot\|, and if you want to use your language with some Normal mode command like "f" or "r", then you should use a localized xterm or an xterm which supports \|XIM\| If needed, you can set the XMODIFIERS environment variable: sh: export XMODIFIERS="@im=input_server_name" csh: setenv XMODIFIERS "@im=input_server_name" For example, when you are using kinput2 as \|IM-server\| and sh, > export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" < FULLY CONTROLLED XIM You can fully control XIM, like with IME of MS-Windows (see \|multibyte-ime\|). This is currently only available for the GTK GUI. Before using fully controlled XIM, one setting is required. Set the 'imactivatekey' option to the key that is used for the activation of the input method. For example, when you are using kinput2 + canna as IM Server, the activation key is probably Shift+Space: > :set imactivatekey=S-space See 'imactivatekey' for the format. ============================================================================== 8. Input on MS-Windows mbyte-IME* (Windows IME support) multibyte-ime IME {only works Windows GUI and compiled with the \|+multi_byte_ime\| feature} To input multibyte characters on Windows, you can use an Input Method Editor (IME). In process of your editing text, you must switch status (on/off) of IME many many many times. Because IME with status on is hooking all of your key inputs, you cannot input 'j', 'k', or almost all of keys to Vim directly. The \|+multi_byte_ime\| feature helps for this. It reduces the number of times the IME status has to be switched manually. In Normal mode, there is almost no need to use IME, even when editing multibyte text. So when exiting Insert mode, Vim memorizes the last status of IME and turns off IME. When re-entering Insert mode, Vim sets the IME status to that memorized status automatically. This works on not only insert-normal mode, but also search-command input and replace mode. The options 'iminsert', 'imsearch' and 'imcmdline' can be used to choose the different input methods or disable them temporarily. WHAT IS IME IME is a part of East asian version Windows. That helps you to input multibyte character. English and other language version Windows does not have any IME. (Also there is no need usually.) But there is one that called Microsoft Global IME. Global IME is a part of Internet Explorer 4.0 or above. You can get more information about Global IME, at below URL. WHAT IS GLOBAL IME global-ime Global IME makes capability to input Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text into Vim buffer on any language version of Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows NT 4.0. On Windows 2000 and XP it should work as well (without downloading). On Windows 2000 Professional, Global IME is built in, and the Input Locales can be added through Control Panel/Regional Options/Input Locales. Please see below URL for detail of Global IME. You can also find various language version of Global IME at same place. - Global IME detailed information. http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?q=global+ime - Active Input Method Manager (Global IME) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa741221(v=VS.85).aspx Support for Global IME is an experimental feature. NOTE: For IME to work you must make sure the input locales of your language are added to your system. The exact location of this depends on the version of Windows you use. For example, on my Windows 2000 box: 1. Control Panel 2. Regional Options 3. Input Locales Tab 4. Add Installed input locales -> Chinese(PRC) The default is still English (United Stated) Cursor color when IME or XIM is on CursorIM There is a little cute feature for IME. Cursor can indicate status of IME by changing its color. Usually status of IME was indicated by little icon at a corner of desktop (or taskbar). It is not easy to verify status of IME. But this feature help this. This works in the same way when using XIM. You can select cursor color when status is on by using highlight group CursorIM. For example, add these lines to your \|gvimrc\|: > if has('multi_byte_ime') highlight Cursor guifg=NONE guibg=Green highlight CursorIM guifg=NONE guibg=Purple endif < Cursor color with off IME is green. And purple cursor indicates that status is on. ============================================================================== 9. Input with a keymap mbyte-keymap When the keyboard doesn't produce the characters you want to enter in your text, you can use the 'keymap' option. This will translate one or more (English) characters to another (non-English) character. This only happens when typing text, not when typing Vim commands. This avoids having to switch between two keyboard settings. {only available when compiled with the \|+keymap\| feature} The value of the 'keymap' option specifies a keymap file to use. The name of this file is one of these two: keymap/{keymap}_{encoding}.vim keymap/{keymap}.vim Here {keymap} is the value of the 'keymap' option and {encoding} of the 'encoding' option. The file name with the {encoding} included is tried first. 'runtimepath' is used to find these files. To see an overview of all available keymap files, use this: > :echo globpath(&rtp, "keymap/.vim") In Insert and Command-line mode you can use CTRL-^ to toggle between using the keyboard map or not. \|i_CTRL-^\| \|c_CTRL-^\| This flag is remembered for Insert mode with the 'iminsert' option. When leaving and entering Insert mode the previous value is used. The same value is also used for commands that take a single character argument, like \|f\| and \|r\|. For Command-line mode the flag is NOT remembered. You are expected to type an Ex command first, which is ASCII. For typing search patterns the 'imsearch' option is used. It can be set to use the same value as for 'iminsert'. lCursor* It is possible to give the GUI cursor another color when the language mappings are being used. This is disabled by default, to avoid that the cursor becomes invisible when you use a non-standard background color. Here is an example to use a brightly colored cursor: > :highlight Cursor guifg=NONE guibg=Green :highlight lCursor guifg=NONE guibg=Cyan < keymap-file-format :loadk :loadkeymap E105 E791 The keymap file looks something like this: > " Maintainer: name <email@address> " Last Changed: 2001 Jan 1 let b:keymap_name = "short" loadkeymap a A b B comment The lines starting with a " are comments and will be ignored. Blank lines are also ignored. The lines with the mappings may have a comment after the useful text. The "b:keymap_name" can be set to a short name, which will be shown in the status line. The idea is that this takes less room than the value of 'keymap', which might be long to distinguish between different languages, keyboards and encodings. The actual mappings are in the lines below "loadkeymap". In the example "a" is mapped to "A" and "b" to "B". Thus the first item is mapped to the second item. This is done for each line, until the end of the file. These items are exactly the same as what can be used in a \|:lnoremap\| command, using "<buffer>" to make the mappings local to the buffer. You can check the result with this command: > :lmap The two items must be separated by white space. You cannot include white space inside an item, use the special names "<Tab>" and "<Space>" instead. The length of the two items together must not exceed 200 bytes. It's possible to have more than one character in the first column. This works like a dead key. Example: > 'a á Since Vim doesn't know if the next character after a quote is really an "a", it will wait for the next character. To be able to insert a single quote, also add this line: > '' ' Since the mapping is defined with \|:lnoremap\| the resulting quote will not be used for the start of another character. The "accents" keymap uses this. keymap-accents The first column can also be in \|<>\| form: <C-c> Ctrl-C <A-c> Alt-c <A-C> Alt-C Note that the Alt mappings may not work, depending on your keyboard and terminal. Although it's possible to have more than one character in the second column, this is unusual. But you can use various ways to specify the character: > A a literal character A <char-97> decimal value A <char-0x61> hexadecimal value A <char-0141> octal value x <Space> special key name The characters are assumed to be encoded for the current value of 'encoding'. It's possible to use ":scriptencoding" when all characters are given literally. That doesn't work when using the <char-> construct, because the conversion is done on the keymap file, not on the resulting character. The lines after "loadkeymap" are interpreted with 'cpoptions' set to "C". This means that continuation lines are not used and a backslash has a special meaning in the mappings. Examples: > " a comment line \" x maps " to x \\ y maps \ to y If you write a keymap file that will be useful for others, consider submitting it to the Vim maintainer for inclusion in the distribution: <maintainer@vim.org> HEBREW KEYMAP keymap-hebrew This file explains what characters are available in UTF-8 and CP1255 encodings, and what the keymaps are to get those characters: glyph encoding keymap ~ Char utf-8 cp1255 hebrew hebrewp name ~ א 0x5d0 0xe0 t a 'alef ב 0x5d1 0xe1 c b bet ג 0x5d2 0xe2 d g gimel ד 0x5d3 0xe3 s d dalet ה 0x5d4 0xe4 v h he ו 0x5d5 0xe5 u v vav ז 0x5d6 0xe6 z z zayin ח 0x5d7 0xe7 j j het ט 0x5d8 0xe8 y T tet י 0x5d9 0xe9 h y yod ך 0x5da 0xea l K kaf sofit כ 0x5db 0xeb f k kaf ל 0x5dc 0xec k l lamed ם 0x5dd 0xed o M mem sofit מ 0x5de 0xee n m mem ן 0x5df 0xef i N nun sofit נ 0x5e0 0xf0 b n nun ס 0x5e1 0xf1 x s samech ע 0x5e2 0xf2 g u `ayin ף 0x5e3 0xf3 ; P pe sofit פ 0x5e4 0xf4 p p pe ץ 0x5e5 0xf5 .

Input with imactivatefunc() mbyte-func Vim has the 'imactivatefunc' and 'imstatusfunc' options. These are useful to activate/deactivate the input method from Vim in any way, also with an external command. For example, fcitx provide fcitx-remote command: > set iminsert=2 set imsearch=2 set imcmdline set imactivatefunc=ImActivate function! ImActivate(active) if a:active call system('fcitx-remote -o') else call system('fcitx-remote -c') endif endfunction set imstatusfunc=ImStatus function! ImStatus() return system('fcitx-remote')[0] is# '2' endfunction Using this script, you can activate/deactivate XIM via Vim even when it is not compiled with \|+xim\|. ============================================================================== 11. Using UTF-8 mbyte-utf8 UTF-8 utf-8 utf8 Unicode unicode The Unicode character set was designed to include all characters from other character sets. Therefore it is possible to write text in any language using Unicode (with a few rarely used languages excluded). And it's mostly possible to mix these languages in one file, which is impossible with other encodings. Unicode can be encoded in several ways. The most popular one is UTF-8, which uses one or more bytes for each character and is backwards compatible with ASCII. On MS-Windows UTF-16 is also used (previously UCS-2), which uses 16-bit words. Vim can support all of these encodings, but always uses UTF-8 internally. Vim has comprehensive UTF-8 support. It works well in: - xterm with utf-8 support enabled - Athena, Motif and GTK GUI - MS-Windows GUI - several other platforms Double-width characters are supported. This works best with 'guifontwide' or 'guifontset'. When using only 'guifont' the wide characters are drawn in the normal width and a space to fill the gap. Note that the 'guifontset' option is no longer relevant in the GTK+ 2 GUI. bom-bytes When reading a file a BOM (Byte Order Mark) can be used to recognize the Unicode encoding: EF BB BF utf-8 FE FF utf-16 big endian FF FE utf-16 little endian 00 00 FE FF utf-32 big endian FF FE 00 00 utf-32 little endian Utf-8 is the recommended encoding. Note that it's difficult to tell utf-16 and utf-32 apart. Utf-16 is often used on MS-Windows, utf-32 is not widespread as file format. mbyte-combining mbyte-composing A composing or combining character is used to change the meaning of the character before it. The combining characters are drawn on top of the preceding character. Up to two combining characters can be used by default. This can be changed with the 'maxcombine' option. When editing text a composing character is mostly considered part of the preceding character. For example "x" will delete a character and its following composing characters by default. If the 'delcombine' option is on, then pressing 'x' will delete the combining characters, one at a time, then the base character. But when inserting, you type the first character and the following composing characters separately, after which they will be joined. The "r" command will not allow you to type a combining character, because it doesn't know one is coming. Use "R" instead. Bytes which are not part of a valid UTF-8 byte sequence are handled like a single character and displayed as <xx>, where "xx" is the hex value of the byte. Overlong sequences are not handled specially and displayed like a valid character. However, search patterns may not match on an overlong sequence. (an overlong sequence is where more bytes are used than required for the character.) An exception is NUL (zero) which is displayed as "<00>". In the file and buffer the full range of Unicode characters can be used (31 bits). However, displaying only works for the characters present in the selected font. Useful commands: - "ga" shows the decimal, hexadecimal and octal value of the character under the cursor. If there are composing characters these are shown too. (If the message is truncated, use ":messages"). - "g8" shows the bytes used in a UTF-8 character, also the composing characters, as hex numbers. - ":set encoding=utf-8 fileencodings=" forces using UTF-8 for all files. The default is to use the current locale for 'encoding' and set 'fileencodings' to automatically detect the encoding of a file. STARTING VIM If your current locale is in an utf-8 encoding, Vim will automatically start in utf-8 mode. If you are using another locale: > set encoding=utf-8 You might also want to select the font used for the menus. Unfortunately this doesn't always work. See the system specific remarks below, and 'langmenu'. USING UTF-8 IN X-Windows utf-8-in-xwindows Note: This section does not apply to the GTK+ 2 GUI. You need to specify a font to be used. For double-wide characters another font is required, which is exactly twice as wide. There are three ways to do this: 1. Set 'guifont' and let Vim find a matching 'guifontwide' 2. Set 'guifont' and 'guifontwide' 3. Set 'guifontset' See the documentation for each option for details. Example: > :set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1 You might also want to set the font used for the menus. This only works for Motif. Use the ":hi Menu font={fontname}" command for this. \|:highlight\| TYPING UTF-8 utf-8-typing If you are using X-Windows, you should find an input method that supports utf-8. If your system does not provide support for typing utf-8, you can use the 'keymap' feature. This allows writing a keymap file, which defines a utf-8 character as a sequence of ASCII characters. See \|mbyte-keymap\|. Another method is to set the current locale to the language you want to use and for which you have a XIM available. Then set 'termencoding' to that language and Vim will convert the typed characters to 'encoding' for you. If everything else fails, you can type any character as four hex bytes: > CTRL-V u 1234 "1234" is interpreted as a hex number. You must type four characters, prepend a zero if necessary. COMMAND ARGUMENTS utf-8-char-arg Commands like \|f\|, \|F\|, \|t\| and \|r\| take an argument of one character. For UTF-8 this argument may include one or two composing characters. These need to be produced together with the base character, Vim doesn't wait for the next character to be typed to find out if it is a composing character or not. Using 'keymap' or \|:lmap\| is a nice way to type these characters. The commands that search for a character in a line handle composing characters as follows. When searching for a character without a composing character, this will find matches in the text with or without composing characters. When searching for a character with a composing character, this will only find matches with that composing character. It was implemented this way, because not everybody is able to type a composing character. ============================================================================== 12. Overview of options mbyte-options These options are relevant for editing multibyte files. Check the help in options.txt for detailed information. 'encoding' Encoding used for the keyboard and display. It is also the default encoding for files. 'fileencoding' Encoding of a file. When it's different from 'encoding' conversion is done when reading or writing the file. 'fileencodings' List of possible encodings of a file. When opening a file these will be tried and the first one that doesn't cause an error is used for 'fileencoding'. 'charconvert' Expression used to convert files from one encoding to another. 'formatoptions' The 'm' flag can be included to have formatting break a line at a multibyte character of 256 or higher. Thus is useful for languages where a sequence of characters can be broken anywhere. 'guifontset' The list of font names used for a multibyte encoding. When this option is not empty, it replaces 'guifont'. 'keymap' Specify the name of a keyboard mapping. ============================================================================== Contributions specifically for the multibyte features by: Chi-Deok Hwang <hwang@mizi.co.kr> SungHyun Nam <goweol@gmail.com> K.Nagano <nagano@atese.advantest.co.jp> Taro Muraoka <koron@tka.att.ne.jp> Yasuhiro Matsumoto <mattn@mail.goo.ne.jp> vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	58.24 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

You can use this if you don't understand what the message means. It is not complete though. 1. Old messages \|:messages\| 2. Error messages \|error-messages\| 3. Messages \|messages\| ============================================================================== 1. Old messages :messages :mes message-history The ":messages" command can be used to view previously given messages. This is especially useful when messages have been overwritten or truncated. This depends on the 'shortmess' option. :mes[sages] Show all messages. :{count}mes[sages] Show the {count} most recent messages. :mes[sages] clear Clear all messages. :{count}mes[sages] clear Clear messages, keeping only the {count} most recent ones. The number of remembered messages is fixed at 20 for the tiny version and 200 for other versions. g< The "g<" command can be used to see the last page of previous command output. This is especially useful if you accidentally typed <Space> at the hit-enter prompt. You are then back at the hit-enter prompt and can then scroll further back. Note: If the output has been stopped with "q" at the more prompt, it will only be displayed up to this point. The previous command output is cleared when another command produces output. The "g<" output is not redirected. If you are using translated messages, the first printed line tells who maintains the messages or the translations. You can use this to contact the maintainer when you spot a mistake. If you want to find help on a specific (error) message, use the ID at the start of the message. For example, to get help on the message: > E72: Close error on swap file or (translated): > E72: Errore durante chiusura swap file Use: > :help E72 If you are lazy, it also works without the shift key: > :help e72 ============================================================================== 2. Error messages error-messages errors When an error message is displayed, but it is removed before you could read it, you can see it again with: > :echo errmsg Or view a list of recent messages with: > :messages See `:messages` above. LIST OF MESSAGES E222 E228 E232 E293 E298 E304 E317 E318 E356 E438 E439 E440 E316 E320 E322 E323 E341 E473 E570 E685 E292 > Add to read buffer makemap: Illegal mode Cannot create BalloonEval with both message and callback Hangul automata ERROR block was not locked Didn't get block nr {N}? ml_upd_block0(): Didn't get block 0?? pointer block id wrong {N} Updated too many blocks? get_varp ERROR u_undo: line numbers wrong undo list corrupt undo line missing ml_get: cannot find line {N} cannot find line {N} line number out of range: {N} past the end line count wrong in block {N} Internal error Internal error: {function} fatal error in cs_manage_matches Invalid count for del_bytes(): {N} This is an internal error. If you can reproduce it, please send in a bug report. \|bugs\| > ATTENTION Found a swap file by the name ... See \|ATTENTION\|. E92 > Buffer {N} not found The buffer you requested does not exist. This can also happen when you have wiped out a buffer which contains a mark or is referenced in another way. \|:bwipeout\| E95 > Buffer with this name already exists You cannot have two buffers with the same name. E72 > Close error on swap file The \|swap-file\|, that is used to keep a copy of the edited text, could not be closed properly. Mostly harmless. E169 > Command too recursive This happens when an Ex command executes an Ex command that executes an Ex command, etc. The limit is 200 or the value of 'maxfuncdepth', whatever is larger. When it's more there probably is an endless loop. Probably a \|:execute\| or \|:source\| command is involved. E254 > Cannot allocate color {name} The color name {name} is unknown. See \|gui-colors\| for a list of colors that are available on most systems. E458 > Cannot allocate colormap entry, some colors may be incorrect This means that there are not enough colors available for Vim. It will still run, but some of the colors will not appear in the specified color. Try stopping other applications that use many colors, or start them after starting gvim. Browsers are known to consume a lot of colors. You can avoid this with netscape by telling it to use its own colormap: > netscape -install Or tell it to limit to a certain number of colors (64 should work well): > netscape -ncols 64 This can also be done with a line in your Xdefaults file: > NetscapeinstallColormap: Yes or > NetscapemaxImageColors: 64 < E79 > Cannot expand wildcards A filename contains a strange combination of characters, which causes Vim to attempt expanding wildcards but this fails. This does NOT mean that no matching file names could be found, but that the pattern was illegal. E459 > Cannot go back to previous directory While expanding a file name, Vim failed to go back to the previously used directory. All file names being used may be invalid now! You need to have execute permission on the current directory. E190 E212 > Cannot open "{filename}" for writing Can't open file for writing For some reason the file you are writing to cannot be created or overwritten. The reason could be that you do not have permission to write in the directory or the file name is not valid. E166 > Can't open linked file for writing You are trying to write to a file which can't be overwritten, and the file is a link (either a hard link or a symbolic link). Writing might still be possible if the directory that contains the link or the file is writable, but Vim now doesn't know if you want to delete the link and write the file in its place, or if you want to delete the file itself and write the new file in its place. If you really want to write the file under this name, you have to manually delete the link or the file, or change the permissions so that Vim can overwrite. E46 > Cannot change read-only variable "{name}" You are trying to assign a value to an argument of a function \|a:var\| or a Vim internal variable \|v:var\| which is read-only. E90 > Cannot unload last buffer Vim always requires one buffer to be loaded, otherwise there would be nothing to display in the window. E40 > Can't open errorfile <filename> When using the ":make" or ":grep" commands: The file used to save the error messages or grep output cannot be opened. This can have several causes: - 'shellredir' has a wrong value. - The shell changes directory, causing the error file to be written in another directory. This could be fixed by changing 'makeef', but then the make command is still executed in the wrong directory. - 'makeef' has a wrong value. - The 'grepprg' or 'makeprg' could not be executed. This cannot always be detected (especially on MS-Windows). Check your $PATH. > Can't open file C:\TEMP\VIoD243.TMP On MS-Windows, this message appears when the output of an external command was to be read, but the command didn't run successfully. This can be caused by many things. Check the 'shell', 'shellquote', 'shellxquote', 'shellslash' and related options. It might also be that the external command was not found, there is no different error message for that. E12 > Command not allowed from exrc/vimrc in current dir or tag search Some commands are not allowed for security reasons. These commands mostly come from a .exrc or .vimrc file in the current directory, or from a tags file. Also see 'secure'. E74 > Command too complex A mapping resulted in a very long command string. Could be caused by a mapping that indirectly calls itself. > CONVERSION ERROR When writing a file and the text "CONVERSION ERROR" appears, this means that some bits were lost when converting text from the internally used UTF-8 to the format of the file. The file will not be marked unmodified. If you care about the loss of information, set the 'fileencoding' option to another value that can handle the characters in the buffer and write again. If you don't care, you can abandon the buffer or reset the 'modified' option. If there is a backup file, when 'writebackup' or 'backup' is set, it will not be deleted, so you can move it back into place if you want to discard the changes. E302 > Could not rename swap file When the file name changes, Vim tries to rename the \|swap-file\| as well. This failed and the old swap file is now still used. Mostly harmless. E43 E44 > Damaged match string Corrupted regexp program Something inside Vim went wrong and resulted in a corrupted regexp. If you know how to reproduce this problem, please report it. \|bugs\| E208 E209 E210 > Error writing to "{filename}" Error closing "{filename}" Error reading "{filename}" This occurs when Vim is trying to rename a file, but a simple change of file name doesn't work. Then the file will be copied, but somehow this failed. The result may be that both the original file and the destination file exist and the destination file may be incomplete. > Vim: Error reading input, exiting... This occurs when Vim cannot read typed characters while input is required. Vim got stuck, the only thing it can do is exit. This can happen when both stdin and stderr are redirected and executing a script that doesn't exit Vim. E47 > Error while reading errorfile Reading the error file was not possible. This is NOT caused by an error message that was not recognized. E80 > Error while writing Writing a file was not completed successfully. The file is probably incomplete. E13 E189 > File exists (add ! to override) "{filename}" exists (add ! to override) You are protected from accidentally overwriting a file. When you want to write anyway, use the same command, but add a "!" just after the command. Example: > :w /tmp/test changes to: > :w! /tmp/test < E768 > Swap file exists: {filename} (:silent! overrides) You are protected from overwriting a file that is being edited by Vim. This happens when you use ":w! filename" and a swapfile is found. - If the swapfile was left over from an old crashed edit session you may want to delete the swapfile. Edit {filename} to find out information about the swapfile. - If you want to write anyway prepend ":silent!" to the command. For example: > :silent! w! /tmp/test < The special command is needed, since you already added the ! for overwriting an existing file. E139 > File is loaded in another buffer You are trying to write a file under a name which is also used in another buffer. This would result in two versions of the same file. E142 > File not written: Writing is disabled by 'write' option The 'write' option is off. This makes all commands that try to write a file generate this message. This could be caused by a \|-m\| commandline argument. You can switch the 'write' option on with ":set write". E25 > GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time You are running a version of Vim that doesn't include the GUI code. Therefore "gvim" and ":gui" don't work. E49 > Invalid scroll size This is caused by setting an invalid value for the 'scroll', 'scrolljump' or 'scrolloff' options. E17 > "{filename}" is a directory You tried to write a file with the name of a directory. This is not possible. You probably need to append a file name. E19 > Mark has invalid line number You are using a mark that has a line number that doesn't exist. This can happen when you have a mark in another file, and some other program has deleted lines from it. E219 E220 > Missing {. Missing }. Using a {} construct in a file name, but there is a { without a matching } or the other way around. It should be used like this: {foo,bar}. This matches "foo" and "bar". E315 > ml_get: invalid lnum: {number} This is an internal Vim error. Please try to find out how it can be reproduced, and submit a bug report \|bugreport.vim\|. E173 > {number} more files to edit You are trying to exit, while the last item in the argument list has not been edited. This protects you from accidentally exiting when you still have more files to work on. See \|argument-list\|. If you do want to exit, just do it again and it will work. E23 E194 > No alternate file No alternate file name to substitute for '#' The alternate file is not defined yet. See \|alternate-file\|. E32 > No file name The current buffer has no name. To write it, use ":w fname". Or give the buffer a name with ":file fname". E141 > No file name for buffer {number} One of the buffers that was changed does not have a file name. Therefore it cannot be written. You need to give the buffer a file name: > :buffer {number} :file {filename} < E33 > No previous substitute regular expression When using the '~' character in a pattern, it is replaced with the previously used pattern in a ":substitute" command. This fails when no such command has been used yet. See \|/~\|. This also happens when using ":s/pat/%/", where the "%" stands for the previous substitute string. E35 > No previous regular expression When using an empty search pattern, the previous search pattern is used. But that is not possible if there was no previous search. E24 > No such abbreviation You have used an ":unabbreviate" command with an argument which is not an existing abbreviation. All variations of this command give the same message: ":cunabbrev", ":iunabbrev", etc. Check for trailing white space. > /dev/dsp: No such file or directory Only given for GTK GUI with Gnome support. Gnome tries to use the audio device and it isn't present. You can ignore this error. E31 > No such mapping You have used an ":unmap" command with an argument which is not an existing mapping. All variations of this command give the same message: ":cunmap", ":unmap!", etc. A few hints: - Check for trailing white space. - If the mapping is buffer-local you need to use ":unmap <buffer>". \|:map-<buffer>\| E37 E89 > No write since last change (add ! to override) No write since last change for buffer {N} (add ! to override) You are trying to \|abandon\| a file that has changes. Vim protects you from losing your work. You can either write the changed file with ":w", or, if you are sure, \|abandon\| it anyway, and lose all the changes. This can be done by adding a '!' character just after the command you used. Example: > :e other_file changes to: > :e! other_file < E162 > No write since last change for buffer "{name}" This appears when you try to exit Vim while some buffers are changed. You will either have to write the changed buffer (with \|:w\|), or use a command to abandon the buffer forcefully, e.g., with ":qa!". Careful, make sure you don't throw away changes you really want to keep. You might have forgotten about a buffer, especially when 'hidden' is set. > [No write since last change] This appears when executing a shell command while at least one buffer was changed. To avoid the message reset the 'warn' option. E38 > Null argument Something inside Vim went wrong and resulted in a NULL pointer. If you know how to reproduce this problem, please report it. \|bugs\| E41 E82 E83 E342 > Out of memory! Out of memory! (allocating {number} bytes) Cannot allocate any buffer, exiting... Cannot allocate buffer, using other one... Oh, oh. You must have been doing something complicated, or some other program is consuming your memory. Be careful! Vim is not completely prepared for an out-of-memory situation. First make sure that any changes are saved. Then try to solve the memory shortage. To stay on the safe side, exit Vim and start again. If this happens while Vim is still initializing, editing files is very unlikely to work, therefore Vim will exit with value 123. Buffers are only partly kept in memory, thus editing a very large file is unlikely to cause an out-of-memory situation. Undo information is completely in memory, you can reduce that with these options: - 'undolevels' Set to a low value, or to -1 to disable undo completely. This helps for a change that affects all lines. - 'undoreload' Set to zero to disable. E339 > Pattern too long This happens on systems with 16 bit ints: The compiled regexp pattern is longer than about 65000 characters. Try using a shorter pattern. It also happens when the offset of a rule doesn't fit in the space available. Try simplifying the pattern. E45 > 'readonly' option is set (add ! to override) You are trying to write a file that was marked as read-only. To write the file anyway, either reset the 'readonly' option, or add a '!' character just after the command you used. Example: > :w changes to: > :w! < E294 E295 E301 > Read error in swap file Seek error in swap file read Oops, lost the swap file!!! Vim tried to read text from the \|swap-file\|, but something went wrong. The text in the related buffer may now be corrupted! Check carefully before you write a buffer. You may want to write it in another file and check for differences. E192 > Recursive use of :normal too deep You are using a ":normal" command, whose argument again uses a ":normal" command in a recursive way. This is restricted to 'maxmapdepth' levels. This example illustrates how to get this message: > :map gq :normal gq<CR> If you type "gq", it will execute this mapping, which will call "gq" again. E22 > Scripts nested too deep Scripts can be read with the "-s" command-line argument and with the ":source" command. The script can then again read another script. This can continue for about 14 levels. When more nesting is done, Vim assumes that there is a recursive loop somewhere and stops with this error message. E319 > Sorry, the command is not available in this version You have used a command that is not present in the version of Vim you are using. When compiling Vim, many different features can be enabled or disabled. This depends on how big Vim has chosen to be and the operating system. See \|+feature-list\| for when which feature is available. The \|:version\| command shows which feature Vim was compiled with. E300 > Swap file already exists (symlink attack?) This message appears when Vim is trying to open a swap file and finds it already exists or finds a symbolic link in its place. This shouldn't happen, because Vim already checked that the file doesn't exist. Either someone else opened the same file at exactly the same moment (very unlikely) or someone is attempting a symlink attack (could happen when editing a file in /tmp or when 'directory' starts with "/tmp", which is a bad choice). E432 > Tags file not sorted: {file name} Vim (and Vi) expect tags files to be sorted in ASCII order. Binary searching can then be used, which is a lot faster than a linear search. If your tags files are not properly sorted, reset the \|'tagbsearch'\| option. This message is only given when Vim detects a problem when searching for a tag. Sometimes this message is not given, even though the tags file is not properly sorted. E424 > Too many different highlighting attributes in use Vim can only handle about 223 different kinds of highlighting. If you run into this limit, you have used too many \|:highlight\| commands with different arguments. A ":highlight link" is not counted. E77 > Too many file names When expanding file names, more than one match was found. Only one match is allowed for the command that was used. E303 > Unable to open swap file for "{filename}", recovery impossible Vim was not able to create a swap file. You can still edit the file, but if Vim unexpectedly exits the changes will be lost. And Vim may consume a lot of memory when editing a big file. You may want to change the 'directory' option to avoid this error. This error is not given when 'directory' is empty. See \|swap-file\|. E140 > Use ! to write partial buffer When using a range to write part of a buffer, it is unusual to overwrite the original file. It is probably a mistake (e.g., when Visual mode was active when using ":w"), therefore Vim requires using a ! after the command, e.g.: ":3,10w!". > Warning: Cannot convert string "<Key>Escape,_Key_Cancel" to type VirtualBinding Messages like this appear when starting up. This is not a Vim problem, your X11 configuration is wrong. You can find a hint on how to solve this here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/12179. [this URL is no longer valid] W10 > Warning: Changing a readonly file The file is read-only and you are making a change to it anyway. You can use the \|FileChangedRO\| autocommand event to avoid this message (the autocommand must reset the 'readonly' option). See 'modifiable' to completely disallow making changes to a file. This message is only given for the first change after 'readonly' has been set. W13 > Warning: File "{filename}" has been created after editing started You are editing a file in Vim when it didn't exist, but it does exist now. You will have to decide if you want to keep the version in Vim or the newly created file. This message is not given when 'buftype' is not empty. W11 > Warning: File "{filename}" has changed since editing started The file which you have started editing has got another timestamp and the contents changed (more precisely: When reading the file again with the current option settings and autocommands you would end up with different text). This probably means that some other program changed the file. You will have to find out what happened, and decide which version of the file you want to keep. Set the 'autoread' option if you want to do this automatically. This message is not given when 'buftype' is not empty. There is one situation where you get this message even though there is nothing wrong: If you save a file in Windows on the day the daylight saving time starts. It can be fixed in one of these ways: - Add this line in your autoexec.bat: > SET TZ=-1 < Adjust the "-1" for your time zone. - Disable "automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes". - Just write the file again the next day. Or set your clock to the next day, write the file twice and set the clock back. If you get W11 all the time, you may need to disable "Acronis Active Protection" or register Vim as a trusted service/application. W12 > Warning: File "{filename}" has changed and the buffer was changed in Vim as well Like the above, and the buffer for the file was changed in this Vim as well. You will have to decide if you want to keep the version in this Vim or the one on disk. This message is not given when 'buftype' is not empty. W16 > Warning: Mode of file "{filename}" has changed since editing started When the timestamp for a buffer was changed and the contents are still the same but the mode (permissions) have changed. This usually occurs when checking out a file from a version control system, which causes the read-only bit to be reset. It should be safe to reload the file. Set 'autoread' to automatically reload the file. E211 > File "{filename}" no longer available The file which you have started editing has disappeared, or is no longer accessible. Make sure you write the buffer somewhere to avoid losing changes. This message is not given when 'buftype' is not empty. W14 > Warning: List of file names overflow You must be using an awful lot of buffers. It's now possible that two buffers have the same number, which causes various problems. You might want to exit Vim and restart it. E931 > Buffer cannot be registered Out of memory or a duplicate buffer number. May happen after W14. Looking up a buffer will not always work, better restart Vim. E296 E297 > Seek error in swap file write Write error in swap file This mostly happens when the disk is full. Vim could not write text into the \|swap-file\|. It's not directly harmful, but when Vim unexpectedly exits some text may be lost without recovery being possible. Vim might run out of memory when this problem persists. connection-refused > Xlib: connection to "<machine-name:0.0" refused by server This happens when Vim tries to connect to the X server, but the X server does not allow a connection. The connection to the X server is needed to be able to restore the title and for the xterm clipboard support. Unfortunately this error message cannot be avoided, except by disabling the \|+xterm_clipboard\| and \|+X11\| features. E10 > \\ should be followed by /, ? or & A command line started with a backslash or the range of a command contained a backslash in a wrong place. This is often caused by command-line continuation being disabled. Remove the 'C' flag from the 'cpoptions' option to enable it. Or use ":set nocp". E471 > Argument required This happens when an Ex command with mandatory argument(s) was executed, but no argument has been specified. E474 E475 E983 > Invalid argument Invalid argument: {arg} Duplicate argument: {arg} An Ex command or function has been executed, but an invalid argument has been specified. E488 > Trailing characters An argument has been added to an Ex command that does not permit one. E477 E478 > No ! allowed Don't panic! You have added a "!" after an Ex command that doesn't permit one. E481 > No range allowed A range was specified for an Ex command that doesn't permit one. See \|cmdline-ranges\|. E482 E483 > Can't create file {filename} Can't get temp file name Vim cannot create a temporary file. E484 E485 > Can't open file {filename} Can't read file {filename} Vim cannot read a temporary file. Especially on Windows, this can be caused by wrong escaping of special characters for cmd.exe; the approach was changed with patch 7.3.443. Try using \|shellescape()\| for all shell arguments given to \|system()\|, or explicitly add escaping with ^. Also see 'shellxquote' and 'shellxescape'. E464 > Ambiguous use of user-defined command There are two user-defined commands with a common name prefix, and you used Command-line completion to execute one of them. \|user-cmd-ambiguous\| Example: > :command MyCommand1 echo "one" :command MyCommand2 echo "two" :MyCommand < E492 > Not an editor command You tried to execute a command that is neither an Ex command nor a user-defined command. E943 > Command table needs to be updated, run 'make cmdidxs' This can only happen when changing the source code, when adding a command in src/ex_cmds.h. The lookup table then needs to be updated, by running: > make cmdidxs ============================================================================== 3. Messages messages This is an (incomplete) overview of various messages that Vim gives: hit-enter press-enter hit-return press-return hit-enter-prompt Press ENTER or type command to continue This message is given when there is something on the screen for you to read, and the screen is about to be redrawn: - After executing an external command (e.g., ":!ls" and "="). - Something is displayed on the status line that is longer than the width of the window, or runs into the 'showcmd' or 'ruler' output. -> Press <Enter> or <Space> to redraw the screen and continue, without that key being used otherwise. -> Press ':' or any other Normal mode command character to start that command. Note that after an external command some special keys, such as the cursor keys, may not work normally, because the terminal is still set to a state for executing the external command. -> Press 'k', <Up>, 'u', 'b' or 'g' to scroll back in the messages. This works the same way as at the \|more-prompt\|. Only works when 'compatible' is off and 'more' is on. -> Pressing 'j', 'f', 'd' or <Down> is ignored when messages scrolled off the top of the screen, 'compatible' is off and 'more' is on, to avoid that typing one 'j' or 'f' too many causes the messages to disappear. -> Press <C-Y> to copy (yank) a modeless selection to the clipboard register. -> Use a menu. The characters defined for Cmdline-mode are used. -> When 'mouse' contains the 'r' flag, clicking the left mouse button works like pressing <Space>. This makes it impossible to select text though. -> For the GUI clicking the left mouse button in the last line works like pressing <Space>. If you accidentally hit <Enter> or <Space> and you want to see the displayed text then use \|g<\|. This only works when 'more' is set. To reduce the number of hit-enter prompts: - Set 'cmdheight' to 2 or higher. - Add flags to 'shortmess'. - Reset 'showcmd' and/or 'ruler'. - Make sure `:echo` text is shorter than or equal to \|v:echospace\| screen cells. If your script causes the hit-enter prompt and you don't know why, you may find the \|v:scrollstart\| variable useful. Also see 'mouse'. The hit-enter message is highlighted with the \|hl-Question\| group. more-prompt pager > -- More -- -- More -- SPACE/d/j: screen/page/line down, b/u/k: up, q: quit This message is given when the screen is filled with messages. It is only given when the 'more' option is on. It is highlighted with the \|hl-MoreMsg\| group. Type effect ~ <CR> or <NL> or j or <Down> one more line d down a page (half a screen) <Space> or f or <PageDown> down a screen G down all the way, until the hit-enter prompt <BS> or k or <Up> one line back u up a page (half a screen) b or <PageUp> back a screen g back to the start q, <Esc> or CTRL-C stop the listing : stop the listing and enter a command-line <C-Y> yank (copy) a modeless selection to the clipboard ("* and "+ registers) {menu-entry} what the menu is defined to in Cmdline-mode. <LeftMouse> next page () Any other key causes the meaning of the keys to be displayed. () Clicking the left mouse button only works: - For the GUI: in the last line of the screen. - When 'r' is included in 'mouse' (but then selecting text won't work). Note: The typed key is directly obtained from the terminal, it is not mapped and typeahead is ignored. The \|g<\| command can be used to see the last page of previous command output. This is especially useful if you accidentally typed <Space> at the hit-enter prompt. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	30.69 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 mlang.txt mlang.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Aug 15 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Multi-language features multilang multi-lang This is about using messages and menus in various languages. For editing multibyte text see \|multibyte\|. The basics are explained in the user manual: \|usr_45.txt\|. 1. Messages \|multilang-messages\| 2. Menus \|multilang-menus\| 3. Scripts \|multilang-scripts\| Also see \|help-translated\| for multi-language help. {not available when compiled without the \|+multi_lang\| feature} ============================================================================== 1. Messages multilang-messages Vim picks up the locale from the environment. In most cases this means Vim will use the language that you prefer, unless it's not available. To see a list of supported locale names on your system, look in one of these directories (for Unix): /usr/lib/locale ~ /usr/share/locale ~ Unfortunately, upper/lowercase differences matter. Also watch out for the use of "-" and "_". :lan :lang :language E197 :lan[guage] :lan[guage] mes[sages] :lan[guage] cty[pe] :lan[guage] tim[e] :lan[guage] col[late] Print the current language (aka locale). With the "messages" argument the language used for messages is printed. Technical: LC_MESSAGES. With the "ctype" argument the language used for character encoding is printed. Technical: LC_CTYPE. With the "time" argument the language used for strftime() is printed. Technical: LC_TIME. With the "collate" argument the language used for collation order is printed. Technical: LC_COLLATE. Without argument all parts of the locale are printed (this is system dependent). The current language can also be obtained with the \|v:lang\|, \|v:ctype\|, \|v:collate\| and \|v:lc_time\| variables. :lan[guage] {name} :lan[guage] mes[sages] {name} :lan[guage] cty[pe] {name} :lan[guage] tim[e] {name} :lan[guage] col[late] {name} Set the current language (aka locale) to {name}. The locale {name} must be a valid locale on your system. Some systems accept aliases like "en" or "en_US", but some only accept the full specification like "en_US.ISO_8859-1". On Unix systems you can use this command to see what locales are supported: > :!locale -a < With the "messages" argument the language used for messages is set. This can be different when you want, for example, English messages while editing Japanese text. This sets $LC_MESSAGES. With the "ctype" argument the language used for character encoding is set. This affects the libraries that Vim was linked with. It's unusual to set this to a different value from 'encoding' or "C". This sets $LC_CTYPE. With the "time" argument the language used for time and date messages is set. This affects strftime(). This sets $LC_TIME. With the "collate" argument the language used for the collation order is set. This affects sorting of characters. This sets $LC_COLLATE. Without an argument all are set, and additionally $LANG is set. When compiled with the \|+float\| feature the LC_NUMERIC value will always be set to "C", so that floating point numbers use '.' as the decimal point. This will make a difference for items that depend on the language (some messages, time and date format). Not fully supported on all systems If this fails there will be an error message. If it succeeds there is no message. Example: > :language Current language: C :language de_DE.ISO_8859-1 :language mes Current messages language: de_DE.ISO_8859-1 :lang mes en < MS-WINDOWS MESSAGE TRANSLATIONS win32-gettext If you used the self-installing .exe file, message translations should work already. Otherwise get the libintl.dll file if you don't have it yet: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gettext Or: https://mlocati.github.io/gettext-iconv-windows/ This also contains tools xgettext, msgformat and others. libintl.dll should be placed in same directory as (g)vim.exe, or one of the directories listed in the PATH environment value. Vim also looks for the alternate names "libintl-8.dll" and "intl.dll". Message files (vim.mo) have to be placed in "$VIMRUNTIME/lang/xx/LC_MESSAGES", where "xx" is the abbreviation of the language (mostly two letters). If you write your own translations you need to generate the .po file and convert it to a .mo file. You need to get the source distribution and read the file "src/po/README.txt". To overrule the automatic choice of the language, set the $LANG variable to the language of your choice. use "en" to disable translations. > :let $LANG = 'ja' (text for Windows by Muraoka Taro) ============================================================================== 2. Menus multilang-menus See \|45.2\| for the basics, esp. using 'langmenu'. Note that if changes have been made to the menus after the translation was done, some of the menus may be shown in English. Please try contacting the maintainer of the translation and ask him to update it. You can find the name and e-mail address of the translator in "$VIMRUNTIME/lang/menu_<lang>.vim". To set the font (or fontset) to use for the menus, use the \|:highlight\| command. Example: > :highlight Menu font=k12,r12 ALIAS LOCALE NAMES Unfortunately, the locale names are different on various systems, even though they are for the same language and encoding. If you do not get the menu translations you expected, check the output of this command: > echo v:lang Now check the "$VIMRUNTIME/lang" directory for menu translation files that use a similar language. A difference in a "-" being a "_" already causes a file not to be found! Another common difference to watch out for is "iso8859-1" versus "iso_8859-1". Fortunately Vim makes all names lowercase, thus you don't have to worry about case differences. Spaces are changed to underscores, to avoid having to escape them. If you find a menu translation file for your language with a different name, create a file in your own runtime directory to load that one. The name of that file could be: > ~/.vim/lang/menu_<v:lang>.vim Check the 'runtimepath' option for directories which are searched. In that file put a command to load the menu file with the other name: > runtime lang/menu_<other_lang>.vim TRANSLATING MENUS If you want to do your own translations, you can use the \|:menutrans\| command, explained below. It is recommended to put the translations for one language in a Vim script. For a language that has no translation yet, please consider becoming the maintainer and make your translations available to all Vim users. Send an e-mail to the Vim maintainer <maintainer@vim.org>. :menut :menutrans :menutranslate :menut[ranslate] clear Clear all menu translations. :menut[ranslate] {english} {mylang} Translate menu name {english} to {mylang}. All special characters like "&" and "<Tab>" need to be included. Spaces and dots need to be escaped with a backslash, just like in other \|:menu\| commands. Case in {english} is ignored. See the $VIMRUNTIME/lang directory for examples. To try out your translations you first have to remove all menus. This is how you can do it without restarting Vim: > :source $VIMRUNTIME/delmenu.vim :source <your-new-menu-file> :source $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim Each part of a menu path is translated separately. The result is that when "Help" is translated to "Hilfe" and "Overview" to "Überblick" then "Help.Overview" will be translated to "Hilfe.Überblick". ============================================================================== 3. Scripts multilang-scripts In Vim scripts you can use the \|v:lang\| variable to get the current language (locale). The default value is "C" or comes from the $LANG environment variable. The following example shows how this variable is used in a simple way, to make a message adapt to language preferences of the user, > :if v:lang =~ "de_DE" : echo "Guten Morgen" :else : echo "Good morning" :endif < vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	8 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 motion.txt motion.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Oct 18 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Cursor motions cursor-motions navigation These commands move the cursor position. If the new position is off of the screen, the screen is scrolled to show the cursor (see also 'scrolljump' and 'scrolloff' options). 1. Motions and operators \|operator\| 2. Left-right motions \|left-right-motions\| 3. Up-down motions \|up-down-motions\| 4. Word motions \|word-motions\| 5. Text object motions \|object-motions\| 6. Text object selection \|object-select\| 7. Marks \|mark-motions\| 8. Jumps \|jump-motions\| 9. Various motions \|various-motions\| General remarks: If you want to know where you are in the file use the "CTRL-G" command \|CTRL-G\| or the "g CTRL-G" command \|g_CTRL-G\|. If you set the 'ruler' option, the cursor position is continuously shown in the status line (which slows down Vim a little). Experienced users prefer the hjkl keys because they are always right under their fingers. Beginners often prefer the arrow keys, because they do not know what the hjkl keys do. The mnemonic value of hjkl is clear from looking at the keyboard. Think of j as an arrow pointing downwards. The 'virtualedit' option can be set to make it possible to move the cursor to positions where there is no character or halfway a character. ============================================================================== 1. Motions and operators operator The motion commands can be used after an operator command, to have the command operate on the text that was moved over. That is the text between the cursor position before and after the motion. Operators are generally used to delete or change text. The following operators are available: \|c\| c change \|d\| d delete \|y\| y yank into register (does not change the text) \|~\| ~ swap case (only if 'tildeop' is set) \|g~\| g~ swap case \|gu\| gu make lowercase \|gU\| gU make uppercase \|!\| ! filter through an external program \|=\| = filter through 'equalprg' or C-indenting if empty \|gq\| gq text formatting \|gw\| gw text formatting with no cursor movement \|g?\| g? ROT13 encoding \|>\| > shift right \|<\| < shift left \|zf\| zf define a fold \|g@\| g@ call function set with the 'operatorfunc' option If the motion includes a count and the operator also had a count before it, the two counts are multiplied. For example: "2d3w" deletes six words. After applying the operator the cursor is mostly left at the start of the text that was operated upon. For example, "yfe" doesn't move the cursor, but "yFe" moves the cursor leftwards to the "e" where the yank started. linewise characterwise The operator either affects whole lines, or the characters between the start and end position. Generally, motions that move between lines affect lines (are linewise), and motions that move within a line affect characters (are characterwise). However, there are some exceptions. exclusive inclusive A character motion is either inclusive or exclusive. When inclusive, the start and end position of the motion are included in the operation. When exclusive, the last character towards the end of the buffer is not included. Linewise motions always include the start and end position. Which motions are linewise, inclusive or exclusive is mentioned with the command. There are however, two general exceptions: 1. If the motion is exclusive and the end of the motion is in column 1, the end of the motion is moved to the end of the previous line and the motion becomes inclusive. Example: "}" moves to the first line after a paragraph, but "d}" will not include that line. exclusive-linewise 2. If the motion is exclusive, the end of the motion is in column 1 and the start of the motion was at or before the first non-blank in the line, the motion becomes linewise. Example: If a paragraph begins with some blanks and you do "d}" while standing on the first non-blank, all the lines of the paragraph are deleted, including the blanks. If you do a put now, the deleted lines will be inserted below the cursor position. Note that when the operator is pending (the operator command is typed, but the motion isn't yet), a special set of mappings can be used. See \|:omap\|. Instead of first giving the operator and then a motion you can use Visual mode: mark the start of the text with "v", move the cursor to the end of the text that is to be affected and then hit the operator. The text between the start and the cursor position is highlighted, so you can see what text will be operated upon. This allows much more freedom, but requires more key strokes and has limited redo functionality. See the chapter on Visual mode \|Visual-mode\|. You can use a ":" command for a motion. For example "d:call FindEnd()". But this can't be repeated with "." if the command is more than one line. This can be repeated: > d:call search("f")<CR> This cannot be repeated: > d:if 1<CR> call search("f")<CR> endif<CR> Note that when using ":" any motion becomes characterwise exclusive. forced-motion FORCING A MOTION TO BE LINEWISE, CHARACTERWISE OR BLOCKWISE When a motion is not of the type you would like to use, you can force another type by using "v", "V" or CTRL-V just after the operator. Example: > dj deletes two lines > dvj deletes from the cursor position until the character below the cursor > d<C-V>j deletes the character under the cursor and the character below the cursor. > Be careful with forcing a linewise movement to be used characterwise or blockwise, the column may not always be defined. o_v v When used after an operator, before the motion command: Force the operator to work characterwise, also when the motion is linewise. If the motion was linewise, it will become \|exclusive\|. If the motion already was characterwise, toggle inclusive/exclusive. This can be used to make an exclusive motion inclusive and an inclusive motion exclusive. o_V V When used after an operator, before the motion command: Force the operator to work linewise, also when the motion is characterwise. o_CTRL-V CTRL-V When used after an operator, before the motion command: Force the operator to work blockwise. This works like Visual block mode selection, with the corners defined by the cursor position before and after the motion. ============================================================================== 2. Left-right motions left-right-motions These commands move the cursor to the specified column in the current line. They stop at the first column and at the end of the line, except "$", which may move to one of the next lines. See 'whichwrap' option to make some of the commands move across line boundaries. h or h <Left> or <Left> CTRL-H or CTRL-H <BS> <BS> [count] characters to the left. \|exclusive\| motion. Note: If you prefer <BS> to delete a character, use the mapping: :map CTRL-V<BS> X (to enter "CTRL-V<BS>" type the CTRL-V key, followed by the <BS> key) See \|:fixdel\| if the <BS> key does not do what you want. l or l <Right> or <Right> <Space> <Space> [count] characters to the right. \|exclusive\| motion. See the 'whichwrap' option for adjusting the behavior at end of line 0 0 To the first character of the line. \|exclusive\| motion. <Home> <kHome> <Home> To the first character of the line. \|exclusive\| motion. When moving up or down next, stay in same TEXT column (if possible). Most other commands stay in the same SCREEN column. <Home> works like "1\|", which differs from "0" when the line starts with a <Tab>. ^ ^ To the first non-blank character of the line. \|exclusive\| motion. Any count is ignored. $ <End> <kEnd> $ or <End> To the end of the line. When a count is given also go [count - 1] lines downward, or as far is possible. \|inclusive\| motion. If a count of 2 of larger is given and the cursor is on the last line, that is an error an the cursor doesn't move. In Visual mode the cursor goes to just after the last character in the line. When 'virtualedit' is active, "$" may move the cursor back from past the end of the line to the last character in the line. g_ g_ To the last non-blank character of the line and [count - 1] lines downward \|inclusive\|. g0 g<Home> g0 or g<Home> When lines wrap ('wrap' on): To the first character of the screen line. \|exclusive\| motion. Differs from "0" when a line is wider than the screen. When lines don't wrap ('wrap' off): To the leftmost character of the current line that is on the screen. Differs from "0" when the first character of the line is not on the screen. g^ g^ When lines wrap ('wrap' on): To the first non-blank character of the screen line. \|exclusive\| motion. Differs from "^" when a line is wider than the screen. When lines don't wrap ('wrap' off): To the leftmost non-blank character of the current line that is on the screen. Differs from "^" when the first non-blank character of the line is not on the screen. gm gm Like "g0", but half a screenwidth to the right (or as much as possible). gM gM Like "g0", but to halfway the text of the line. With a count: to this percentage of text in the line. Thus "10gM" is near the start of the text and "90gM" is near the end of the text. g$ g<End> g$ or g<End> When lines wrap ('wrap' on): To the last character of the screen line and [count - 1] screen lines downward \|inclusive\|. Differs from "$" when a line is wider than the screen. When lines don't wrap ('wrap' off): To the rightmost character of the current line that is visible on the screen. Differs from "$" when the last character of the line is not on the screen or when a count is used. Additionally, vertical movements keep the column, instead of going to the end of the line. When 'virtualedit' is enabled moves to the end of the screen line. bar \| To screen column [count] in the current line. \|exclusive\| motion. Ceci n'est pas une pipe. f f{char} To [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the right. The cursor is placed on {char} \|inclusive\|. {char} can be entered as a digraph \|digraph-arg\|. When 'encoding' is set to Unicode, composing characters may be used, see \|utf-8-char-arg\|. \|:lmap\| mappings apply to {char}. The CTRL-^ command in Insert mode can be used to switch this on/off \|i_CTRL-^\|. F F{char} To the [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the left. The cursor is placed on {char} \|exclusive\|. {char} can be entered like with the \|f\| command. t t{char} Till before [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the right. The cursor is placed on the character left of {char} \|inclusive\|. {char} can be entered like with the \|f\| command. T T{char} Till after [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the left. The cursor is placed on the character right of {char} \|exclusive\|. {char} can be entered like with the \|f\| command. ; ; Repeat latest f, t, F or T [count] times. See \|cpo-;\| , , Repeat latest f, t, F or T in opposite direction [count] times. See also \|cpo-;\| ============================================================================== 3. Up-down motions up-down-motions k or k <Up> or <Up> CTRL-P CTRL-P [count] lines upward \|linewise\|. j or j <Down> or <Down> CTRL-J or CTRL-J <NL> or <NL> CTRL-N CTRL-N [count] lines downward \|linewise\|. gk or gk g<Up> g<Up> [count] display lines upward. \|exclusive\| motion. Differs from 'k' when lines wrap, and when used with an operator, because it's not linewise. gj or gj g<Down> g<Down> [count] display lines downward. \|exclusive\| motion. Differs from 'j' when lines wrap, and when used with an operator, because it's not linewise. - - <minus> [count] lines upward, on the first non-blank character \|linewise\|. + or + CTRL-M or CTRL-M <CR> <CR> [count] lines downward, on the first non-blank character \|linewise\|. _ _ <underscore> [count] - 1 lines downward, on the first non-blank character \|linewise\|. G G Goto line [count], default last line, on the first non-blank character \|linewise\|. If 'startofline' not set, keep the same column. G is one of the \|jump-motions\|. <C-End> <C-End> Goto line [count], default last line, on the last character \|inclusive\|. <C-Home> or gg <C-Home> gg Goto line [count], default first line, on the first non-blank character \|linewise\|. If 'startofline' not set, keep the same column. :[range] :[range] Set the cursor on the last line number in [range]. [range] can also be just one line number, e.g., ":1" or ":'m". In contrast with \|G\| this command does not modify the \|jumplist\|. N% {count}% Go to {count} percentage in the file, on the first non-blank in the line \|linewise\|. To compute the new line number this formula is used: ({count} * number-of-lines + 99) / 100 See also 'startofline' option. :[range]go[to] [count] :go :goto go [count]go Go to [count] byte in the buffer. Default [count] is one, start of the file. When giving [range], the last number in it used as the byte count. End-of-line characters are counted depending on the current 'fileformat' setting. Also see the \|line2byte()\| function, and the 'o' option in 'statusline'. {not available when compiled without the \|+byte_offset\| feature} These commands move to the specified line. They stop when reaching the first or the last line. The first two commands put the cursor in the same column (if possible) as it was after the last command that changed the column, except after the "$" command, then the cursor will be put on the last character of the line. If "k", "-" or CTRL-P is used with a [count] and there are less than [count] lines above the cursor and the 'cpo' option includes the "-" flag it is an error. \|cpo--\|. ============================================================================== 4. Word motions word-motions <S-Right> or <S-Right> w w [count] words forward. \|exclusive\| motion. <C-Right> or <C-Right> W W [count] WORDS forward. \|exclusive\| motion. e e Forward to the end of word [count] \|inclusive\|. Does not stop in an empty line. E E Forward to the end of WORD [count] \|inclusive\|. Does not stop in an empty line. <S-Left> or <S-Left> b b [count] words backward. \|exclusive\| motion. <C-Left> or <C-Left> B B [count] WORDS backward. \|exclusive\| motion. ge ge Backward to the end of word [count] \|inclusive\|. gE gE Backward to the end of WORD [count] \|inclusive\|. These commands move over words or WORDS. word A word consists of a sequence of letters, digits and underscores, or a sequence of other non-blank characters, separated with white space (spaces, tabs, <EOL>). This can be changed with the 'iskeyword' option. An empty line is also considered to be a word. WORD A WORD consists of a sequence of non-blank characters, separated with white space. An empty line is also considered to be a WORD. A sequence of folded lines is counted for one word of a single character. "w" and "W", "e" and "E" move to the start/end of the first word or WORD after a range of folded lines. "b" and "B" move to the start of the first word or WORD before the fold. Special case: "cw" and "cW" are treated like "ce" and "cE" if the cursor is on a non-blank. This is because "cw" is interpreted as change-word, and a word does not include the following white space. Another special case: When using the "w" motion in combination with an operator and the last word moved over is at the end of a line, the end of that word becomes the end of the operated text, not the first word in the next line. The original Vi implementation of "e" is buggy. For example, the "e" command will stop on the first character of a line if the previous line was empty. But when you use "2e" this does not happen. In Vim "ee" and "2e" are the same, which is more logical. However, this causes a small incompatibility between Vi and Vim. ============================================================================== 5. Text object motions object-motions ( ( [count] sentences backward. \|exclusive\| motion. ) ) [count] sentences forward. \|exclusive\| motion. { { [count] paragraphs backward. \|exclusive\| motion. } } [count] paragraphs forward. \|exclusive\| motion. ]] ]] [count] sections forward or to the next '{' in the first column. When used after an operator, then also stops below a '}' in the first column. \|exclusive\| Note that \|exclusive-linewise\| often applies. ][ ][ [count] sections forward or to the next '}' in the first column. \|exclusive\| Note that \|exclusive-linewise\| often applies. [[ [[ [count] sections backward or to the previous '{' in the first column. \|exclusive\| Note that \|exclusive-linewise\| often applies. [] [] [count] sections backward or to the previous '}' in the first column. \|exclusive\| Note that \|exclusive-linewise\| often applies. These commands move over three kinds of text objects. sentence A sentence is defined as ending at a '.', '!' or '?' followed by either the end of a line, or by a space or tab. Any number of closing ')', ']', '"' and ''' characters may appear after the '.', '!' or '?' before the spaces, tabs or end of line. A paragraph and section boundary is also a sentence boundary. If the 'J' flag is present in 'cpoptions', at least two spaces have to follow the punctuation mark; <Tab>s are not recognized as white space. The definition of a sentence cannot be changed. paragraph A paragraph begins after each empty line, and also at each of a set of paragraph macros, specified by the pairs of characters in the 'paragraphs' option. The default is "IPLPPPQPP TPHPLIPpLpItpplpipbp", which corresponds to the macros ".IP", ".LP", etc. (These are nroff macros, so the dot must be in the first column). A section boundary is also a paragraph boundary. Note that a blank line (only containing white space) is NOT a paragraph boundary. Also note that this does not include a '{' or '}' in the first column. When the '{' flag is in 'cpoptions' then '{' in the first column is used as a paragraph boundary \|posix\|. section A section begins after a form-feed (<C-L>) in the first column and at each of a set of section macros, specified by the pairs of characters in the 'sections' option. The default is "SHNHH HUnhsh", which defines a section to start at the nroff macros ".SH", ".NH", ".H", ".HU", ".nh" and ".sh". The "]]" and "[[" commands stop at the '{' in the first column. This is useful to find the start of a function in a C program. To search for a '}' in the first column, the end of a C function, use "][" (forward) or "[]" (backward). Note that the first character of the command determines the search direction. If your '{' or '}' are not in the first column, and you would like to use "[[" and "]]" anyway, try these mappings: > :map [[ ?{<CR>w99[{ :map ][ /}<CR>b99]} :map ]] j0[[%/{<CR> :map [] k$][%?}<CR> [type these literally, see \|<>\|] ============================================================================== 6. Text object selection object-select text-objects v_a v_i This is a series of commands that can only be used while in Visual mode or after an operator. The commands that start with "a" select "a"n object including white space, the commands starting with "i" select an "inner" object without white space, or just the white space. Thus the "inner" commands always select less text than the "a" commands. These commands are not available when the \|+textobjects\| feature has been disabled at compile time. Also see `gn` and `gN`, operating on the last search pattern. v_aw aw aw "a word", select [count] words (see \|word\|). Leading or trailing white space is included, but not counted. When used in Visual linewise mode "aw" switches to Visual characterwise mode. v_iw iw iw "inner word", select [count] words (see \|word\|). White space between words is counted too. When used in Visual linewise mode "iw" switches to Visual characterwise mode. v_aW aW aW "a WORD", select [count] WORDs (see \|WORD\|). Leading or trailing white space is included, but not counted. When used in Visual linewise mode "aW" switches to Visual characterwise mode. v_iW iW iW "inner WORD", select [count] WORDs (see \|WORD\|). White space between words is counted too. When used in Visual linewise mode "iW" switches to Visual characterwise mode. v_as as as "a sentence", select [count] sentences (see \|sentence\|). When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. v_is is is "inner sentence", select [count] sentences (see \|sentence\|). When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. v_ap ap ap "a paragraph", select [count] paragraphs (see \|paragraph\|). Exception: a blank line (only containing white space) is also a paragraph boundary. When used in Visual mode it is made linewise. v_ip ip ip "inner paragraph", select [count] paragraphs (see \|paragraph\|). Exception: a blank line (only containing white space) is also a paragraph boundary. When used in Visual mode it is made linewise. a] v_a] v_a[ a] a[ a[ "a [] block", select [count] '[' ']' blocks. This goes backwards to the [count] unclosed '[', and finds the matching ']'. The enclosed text is selected, including the '[' and ']'. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. i] v_i] v_i[ i] i[ i[ "inner [] block", select [count] '[' ']' blocks. This goes backwards to the [count] unclosed '[', and finds the matching ']'. The enclosed text is selected, excluding the '[' and ']'. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. a) v_a) a) a( a( vab v_ab v_a( ab ab "a block", select [count] blocks, from "[count] [(" to the matching ')', including the '(' and ')' (see \|[(\|). Does not include white space outside of the parenthesis. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. i) v_i) i) i( i( vib v_ib v_i( ib ib "inner block", select [count] blocks, from "[count] [(" to the matching ')', excluding the '(' and ')' (see \|[(\|). When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. a> v_a> v_a< a> a< a< "a <> block", select [count] <> blocks, from the [count]'th unmatched '<' backwards to the matching '>', including the '<' and '>'. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. i> v_i> v_i< i> i< i< "inner <> block", select [count] <> blocks, from the [count]'th unmatched '<' backwards to the matching '>', excluding the '<' and '>'. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. v_at at at "a tag block", select [count] tag blocks, from the [count]'th unmatched "<aaa>" backwards to the matching "</aaa>", including the "<aaa>" and "</aaa>". See \|tag-blocks\| about the details. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. v_it it it "inner tag block", select [count] tag blocks, from the [count]'th unmatched "<aaa>" backwards to the matching "</aaa>", excluding the "<aaa>" and "</aaa>". See \|tag-blocks\| about the details. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. a} v_a} a} a{ a{ v_aB v_a{ aB aB "a Block", select [count] Blocks, from "[count] [{" to the matching '}', including the '{' and '}' (see \|[{\|). When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. i} v_i} i} i{ i{ v_iB v_i{ iB iB "inner Block", select [count] Blocks, from "[count] [{" to the matching '}', excluding the '{' and '}' (see \|[{\|). When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. a" v_aquote aquote a' v_a' a' a` v_a` a` "a quoted string". Selects the text from the previous quote until the next quote. The 'quoteescape' option is used to skip escaped quotes. Only works within one line. When the cursor starts on a quote, Vim will figure out which quote pairs form a string by searching from the start of the line. Any trailing white space is included, unless there is none, then leading white space is included. When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. Repeating this object in Visual mode another string is included. A count is currently not used. i" v_iquote iquote i' v_i' i' i` v_i` i` Like a", a' and a`, but exclude the quotes and repeating won't extend the Visual selection. Special case: With a count of 2 the quotes are included, but no extra white space as with a"/a'/a`. When used after an operator: For non-block objects: For the "a" commands: The operator applies to the object and the white space after the object. If there is no white space after the object or when the cursor was in the white space before the object, the white space before the object is included. For the "inner" commands: If the cursor was on the object, the operator applies to the object. If the cursor was on white space, the operator applies to the white space. For a block object: The operator applies to the block where the cursor is in, or the block on which the cursor is on one of the braces. For the "inner" commands the surrounding braces are excluded. For the "a" commands, the braces are included. When used in Visual mode: When start and end of the Visual area are the same (just after typing "v"): One object is selected, the same as for using an operator. When start and end of the Visual area are not the same: For non-block objects the area is extended by one object or the white space up to the next object, or both for the "a" objects. The direction in which this happens depends on which side of the Visual area the cursor is. For the block objects the block is extended one level outwards. For illustration, here is a list of delete commands, grouped from small to big objects. Note that for a single character and a whole line the existing vi movement commands are used. "dl" delete character (alias: "x") \|dl\| "diw" delete inner word diw "daw" delete a word daw "diW" delete inner WORD (see \|WORD\|) diW "daW" delete a WORD (see \|WORD\|) daW "dgn" delete the next search pattern match dgn "dd" delete one line \|dd\| "dis" delete inner sentence dis "das" delete a sentence das "dib" delete inner '(' ')' block dib "dab" delete a '(' ')' block dab "dip" delete inner paragraph dip "dap" delete a paragraph dap "diB" delete inner '{' '}' block diB "daB" delete a '{' '}' block daB Note the difference between using a movement command and an object. The movement command operates from here (cursor position) to where the movement takes us. When using an object the whole object is operated upon, no matter where on the object the cursor is. For example, compare "dw" and "daw": "dw" deletes from the cursor position to the start of the next word, "daw" deletes the word under the cursor and the space after or before it. Tag blocks tag-blocks For the "it" and "at" text objects an attempt is done to select blocks between matching tags for HTML and XML. But since these are not completely compatible there are a few restrictions. The normal method is to select a <tag> until the matching </tag>. For "at" the tags are included, for "it" they are excluded. But when "it" is repeated the tags will be included (otherwise nothing would change). Also, "it" used on a tag block with no contents will select the leading tag. "<aaa/>" items are skipped. Case is ignored, also for XML where case does matter. In HTML it is possible to have a tag like <br> or <meta ...> without a matching end tag. These are ignored. The text objects are tolerant about mistakes. Stray end tags are ignored. ============================================================================== 7. Marks mark-motions E20 E78 Jumping to a mark can be done in two ways: 1. With ` (backtick): The cursor is positioned at the specified location and the motion is \|exclusive\|. 2. With ' (single quote): The cursor is positioned on the first non-blank character in the line of the specified location and the motion is linewise. m mark Mark m{a-zA-Z} Set mark {a-zA-Z} at cursor position (does not move the cursor, this is not a motion command). m' m` m' or m` Set the previous context mark. This can be jumped to with the "''" or "``" command (does not move the cursor, this is not a motion command). m[ m] m[ or m] Set the \|'[\| or \|']\| mark. Useful when an operator is to be simulated by multiple commands. (does not move the cursor, this is not a motion command). m< m> m< or m> Set the \|'<\| or \|'>\| mark. Useful to change what the `gv` command selects. (does not move the cursor, this is not a motion command). Note that the Visual mode cannot be set, only the start and end position. :ma :mark E191 :[range]ma[rk] {a-zA-Z'} Set mark {a-zA-Z'} at last line number in [range], column 0. Default is cursor line. :k :[range]k{a-zA-Z'} Same as :mark, but the space before the mark name can be omitted. ' 'a ` `a '{a-z} `{a-z} Jump to the mark {a-z} in the current buffer. 'A '0 `A `0 '{A-Z0-9} `{A-Z0-9} To the mark {A-Z0-9} in the file where it was set (not a motion command when in another file). g' g'a g` g`a g'{mark} g`{mark} Jump to the {mark}, but don't change the jumplist when jumping within the current buffer. Example: > g`" < jumps to the last known position in a file. See $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim. Also see \|:keepjumps\|. :marks :marks List all the current marks (not a motion command). The \|'(\|, \|')\|, \|'{\| and \|'}\| marks are not listed. The first column has number zero. E283 :marks {arg} List the marks that are mentioned in {arg} (not a motion command). For example: > :marks aB < to list marks 'a' and 'B'. :delm :delmarks :delm[arks] {marks} Delete the specified marks. Marks that can be deleted include A-Z and 0-9. You cannot delete the ' mark. They can be specified by giving the list of mark names, or with a range, separated with a dash. Spaces are ignored. Examples: > :delmarks a deletes mark a :delmarks a b 1 deletes marks a, b and 1 :delmarks Aa deletes marks A and a :delmarks p-z deletes marks in the range p to z :delmarks ^.[] deletes marks ^ . [ ] :delmarks \" deletes mark " :delm[arks]! Delete all marks for the current buffer, but not marks A-Z or 0-9. A mark is not visible in any way. It is just a position in the file that is remembered. Do not confuse marks with named registers, they are totally unrelated. 'a - 'z lowercase marks, valid within one file 'A - 'Z uppercase marks, also called file marks, valid between files '0 - '9 numbered marks, set from .viminfo file Lowercase marks 'a to 'z are remembered as long as the file remains in the buffer list. If you remove the file from the buffer list, all its marks are lost. If you delete a line that contains a mark, that mark is erased. Lowercase marks can be used in combination with operators. For example: "d't" deletes the lines from the cursor position to mark 't'. Hint: Use mark 't' for Top, 'b' for Bottom, etc.. Lowercase marks are restored when using undo and redo. Uppercase marks 'A to 'Z include the file name. You can use them to jump from file to file. You can only use an uppercase mark with an operator if the mark is in the current file. The line number of the mark remains correct, even if you insert/delete lines or edit another file for a moment. When the 'viminfo' option is not empty, uppercase marks are kept in the .viminfo file. See \|viminfo-file-marks\|. Numbered marks '0 to '9 are quite different. They can not be set directly. They are only present when using a viminfo file \|viminfo-file\|. Basically '0 is the location of the cursor when you last exited Vim, '1 the last but one time, etc. Use the "r" flag in 'viminfo' to specify files for which no Numbered mark should be stored. See \|viminfo-file-marks\|. '[ `[ '[ `[ To the first character of the previously changed or yanked text. '] `] '] `] To the last character of the previously changed or yanked text. After executing an operator the Cursor is put at the beginning of the text that was operated upon. After a put command ("p" or "P") the cursor is sometimes placed at the first inserted line and sometimes on the last inserted character. The four commands above put the cursor at either end. Example: After yanking 10 lines you want to go to the last one of them: "10Y']". After inserting several lines with the "p" command you want to jump to the lowest inserted line: "p']". This also works for text that has been inserted. Note: After deleting text, the start and end positions are the same, except when using blockwise Visual mode. These commands do not work when no change was made yet in the current file. '< `< '< `< To the first line or character of the last selected Visual area in the current buffer. For block mode it may also be the last character in the first line (to be able to define the block). '> `> '> `> To the last line or character of the last selected Visual area in the current buffer. For block mode it may also be the first character of the last line (to be able to define the block). Note that 'selection' applies, the position may be just after the Visual area. '' `` '' `` To the position before the latest jump, or where the last "m'" or "m`" command was given. Not set when the \|:keepjumps\| command modifier was used. Also see \|restore-position\|. 'quote `quote '" `" To the cursor position when last exiting the current buffer. Defaults to the first character of the first line. See \|last-position-jump\| for how to use this for each opened file. Only one position is remembered per buffer, not one for each window. As long as the buffer is visible in a window the position won't be changed. '^ `^ '^ `^ To the position where the cursor was the last time when Insert mode was stopped. This is used by the \|gi\| command. Not set when the \|:keepjumps\| command modifier was used. '. `. '. `. To the position where the last change was made. The position is at or near where the change started. Sometimes a command is executed as several changes, then the position can be near the end of what the command changed. For example when inserting a word, the position will be on the last character. To jump to older changes use \|g;\|. '( `( '( `( To the start of the current sentence, like the \|(\| command. ') `) ') `) To the end of the current sentence, like the \|)\| command. '{ `{ '{ `{ To the start of the current paragraph, like the \|{\| command. '} `} '} `} To the end of the current paragraph, like the \|}\| command. These commands are not marks themselves, but jump to a mark: ]' ]' [count] times to next line with a lowercase mark below the cursor, on the first non-blank character in the line. ]` ]` [count] times to lowercase mark after the cursor. {not in Vi} [' [' [count] times to previous line with a lowercase mark before the cursor, on the first non-blank character in the line. [` [` [count] times to lowercase mark before the cursor. :loc[kmarks] {command} :loc :lock :lockmarks Execute {command} without adjusting marks. This is useful when changing text in a way that the line count will be the same when the change has completed. WARNING: When the line count does change, marks below the change will keep their line number, thus move to another text line. These items will not be adjusted for deleted/inserted lines: - lower case letter marks 'a - 'z - upper case letter marks 'A - 'Z - numbered marks '0 - '9 - last insert position '^ - last change position '. - last affected text area '[ and '] - the Visual area '< and '> - line numbers in placed signs - line numbers in quickfix positions - positions in the \|jumplist\| - positions in the \|tagstack\| These items will still be adjusted: - previous context mark '' - the cursor position - the view of a window on a buffer - folds - diffs :kee[pmarks] {command} :kee :keep :keepmarks Currently only has effect for the filter command \|:range!\|: - When the number of lines after filtering is equal to or larger than before, all marks are kept at the same line number. - When the number of lines decreases, the marks in the lines that disappeared are deleted. In any case the marks below the filtered text have their line numbers adjusted, thus stick to the text, as usual. When the 'R' flag is missing from 'cpoptions' this has the same effect as using ":keepmarks". :keepj :keepjumps :keepj[umps] {command} Moving around in {command} does not change the \|''\|, \|'.\| and \|'^\| marks, the \|jumplist\| or the \|changelist\|. Useful when making a change or inserting text automatically and the user doesn't want to go to this position. E.g., when updating a "Last change" timestamp in the first line: > :let lnum = line(".") :keepjumps normal gg :call SetLastChange() :keepjumps exe "normal " . lnum . "G" < Note that ":keepjumps" must be used for every command. When invoking a function the commands in that function can still change the jumplist. Also, for ":keepjumps exe 'command '" the "command" won't keep jumps. Instead use: ":exe 'keepjumps command'" ============================================================================== 8. Jumps jump-motions A "jump" is a command that normally moves the cursor several lines away. If you make the cursor "jump" the position of the cursor before the jump is remembered. You can return to that position with the "''" and "``" commands, unless the line containing that position was changed or deleted. The following commands are "jump" commands: "'", "`", "G", "/", "?", "n", "N", "%", "(", ")", "[[", "]]", "{", "}", ":s", ":tag", "L", "M", "H" and the commands that start editing a new file. CTRL-O CTRL-O Go to [count] Older cursor position in jump list (not a motion command). {not available without the \|+jumplist\| feature} <Tab> or CTRL-I <Tab> CTRL-I Go to [count] newer cursor position in jump list (not a motion command). {not available without the \|+jumplist\| feature} :ju :jumps :ju[mps] Print the jump list (not a motion command). {not available without the \|+jumplist\| feature} :cle :clearjumps :cle[arjumps] Clear the jump list of the current window. {not available without the \|+jumplist\| feature} jumplist Jumps are remembered in a jump list. With the CTRL-O and CTRL-I command you can go to cursor positions before older jumps, and back again. Thus you can move up and down the list. There is a separate jump list for each window. The maximum number of entries is fixed at 100. {not available without the \|+jumplist\| feature} For example, after three jump commands you have this jump list: jump line col file/text ~ 3 1 0 some text ~ 2 70 0 another line ~ 1 1154 23 end. ~ > ~ The "file/text" column shows the file name, or the text at the jump if it is in the current file (an indent is removed and a long line is truncated to fit in the window). You are currently in line 1167. If you then use the CTRL-O command, the cursor is put in line 1154. This results in: jump line col file/text ~ 2 1 0 some text ~ 1 70 0 another line ~ > 0 1154 23 end. ~ 1 1167 0 foo bar ~ The pointer will be set at the last used jump position. The next CTRL-O command will use the entry above it, the next CTRL-I command will use the entry below it. If the pointer is below the last entry, this indicates that you did not use a CTRL-I or CTRL-O before. In this case the CTRL-O command will cause the cursor position to be added to the jump list, so you can get back to the position before the CTRL-O. In this case this is line 1167. With more CTRL-O commands you will go to lines 70 and 1. If you use CTRL-I you can go back to 1154 and 1167 again. Note that the number in the "jump" column indicates the count for the CTRL-O or CTRL-I command that takes you to this position. If you use a jump command, the current line number is inserted at the end of the jump list. If the same line was already in the jump list, it is removed. The result is that when repeating CTRL-O you will get back to old positions only once. When the \|:keepjumps\| command modifier is used, jumps are not stored in the jumplist. Jumps are also not stored in other cases, e.g., in a \|:global\| command. You can explicitly add a jump by setting the ' mark with "m'". Note that calling setpos() does not do this. After the CTRL-O command that got you into line 1154 you could give another jump command (e.g., "G"). The jump list would then become: jump line col file/text ~ 4 1 0 some text ~ 3 70 0 another line ~ 2 1167 0 foo bar ~ 1 1154 23 end. ~ > ~ The line numbers will be adjusted for deleted and inserted lines. This fails if you stop editing a file without writing, like with ":n!". When you split a window, the jumplist will be copied to the new window. If you have included the ' item in the 'viminfo' option the jumplist will be stored in the viminfo file and restored when starting Vim. CHANGE LIST JUMPS changelist change-list-jumps E664 When making a change the cursor position is remembered. One position is remembered for every change that can be undone, unless it is close to a previous change. Two commands can be used to jump to positions of changes, also those that have been undone: g; E662 g; Go to [count] older position in change list. If [count] is larger than the number of older change positions go to the oldest change. If there is no older change an error message is given. (not a motion command) {not available without the \|+jumplist\| feature} g, E663 g, Go to [count] newer cursor position in change list. Just like \|g;\| but in the opposite direction. (not a motion command) {not available without the \|+jumplist\| feature} When using a count you jump as far back or forward as possible. Thus you can use "999g;" to go to the first change for which the position is still remembered. The number of entries in the change list is fixed and is the same as for the \|jumplist\|. When two undo-able changes are in the same line and at a column position less than 'textwidth' apart only the last one is remembered. This avoids that a sequence of small changes in a line, for example "xxxxx", adds many positions to the change list. When 'textwidth' is zero 'wrapmargin' is used. When that also isn't set a fixed number of 79 is used. Detail: For the computations bytes are used, not characters, to avoid a speed penalty (this only matters for multibyte encodings). Note that when text has been inserted or deleted the cursor position might be a bit different from the position of the change. Especially when lines have been deleted. When the \|:keepjumps\| command modifier is used the position of a change is not remembered. :changes :changes Print the change list. A ">" character indicates the current position. Just after a change it is below the newest entry, indicating that `g;` takes you to the newest entry position. The first column indicates the count needed to take you to this position. Example: change line col text ~ 3 9 8 bla bla bla 2 11 57 foo is a bar 1 14 54 the latest changed line > The `3g;` command takes you to line 9. Then the output of `:changes` is: change line col text ~ > 0 9 8 bla bla bla 1 11 57 foo is a bar 2 14 54 the latest changed line Now you can use "g," to go to line 11 and "2g," to go to line 14. ============================================================================== 9. Various motions various-motions % % Find the next item in this line after or under the cursor and jump to its match. \|inclusive\| motion. Items can be: ([{}]) parenthesis or (curly/square) brackets (this can be changed with the 'matchpairs' option) /* / start or end of C-style comment #if, #ifdef, #else, #elif, #endif C preprocessor conditionals (when the cursor is on the # or no ([{ following) For other items the matchit plugin can be used, see \|matchit-install\|. This plugin also helps to skip matches in comments. When 'cpoptions' contains "M" \|cpo-M\| backslashes before parens and braces are ignored. Without "M" the number of backslashes matters: an even number doesn't match with an odd number. Thus in "( \) )" and "$ ( $" the first and last parenthesis match. When the '%' character is not present in 'cpoptions' \|cpo-%\|, parens and braces inside double quotes are ignored, unless the number of parens/braces in a line is uneven and this line and the previous one does not end in a backslash. '(', '{', '[', ']', '}' and ')' are also ignored (parens and braces inside single quotes). Note that this works fine for C, but not for Perl, where single quotes are used for strings. Nothing special is done for matches in comments. You can either use the matchit plugin \|matchit-install\| or put quotes around matches. No count is allowed, {count}% jumps to a line {count} percentage down the file \|N%\|. Using '%' on #if/#else/#endif makes the movement linewise. [(* [( go to [count] previous unmatched '('. \|exclusive\| motion. [{ [{ go to [count] previous unmatched '{'. \|exclusive\| motion. ]) ]) go to [count] next unmatched ')'. \|exclusive\| motion. ]} ]} go to [count] next unmatched '}'. \|exclusive\| motion. The above four commands can be used to go to the start or end of the current code block. It is like doing "%" on the '(', ')', '{' or '}' at the other end of the code block, but you can do this from anywhere in the code block. Very useful for C programs. Example: When standing on "case x:", "[{" will bring you back to the switch statement. ]m ]m Go to [count] next start of a method (for Java or similar structured language). When not before the start of a method, jump to the start or end of the class. When no '{' is found after the cursor, this is an error. \|exclusive\| motion. ]M ]M Go to [count] next end of a method (for Java or similar structured language). When not before the end of a method, jump to the start or end of the class. When no '}' is found after the cursor, this is an error. \|exclusive\| motion. [m [m Go to [count] previous start of a method (for Java or similar structured language). When not after the start of a method, jump to the start or end of the class. When no '{' is found before the cursor this is an error. \|exclusive\| motion. [M [M Go to [count] previous end of a method (for Java or similar structured language). When not after the end of a method, jump to the start or end of the class. When no '}' is found before the cursor this is an error. \|exclusive\| motion. The above two commands assume that the file contains a class with methods. The class definition is surrounded in '{' and '}'. Each method in the class is also surrounded with '{' and '}'. This applies to the Java language. The file looks like this: > // comment class foo { int method_one() { body_one(); } int method_two() { body_two(); } } Starting with the cursor on "body_two()", using "[m" will jump to the '{' at the start of "method_two()" (obviously this is much more useful when the method is long!). Using "2[m" will jump to the start of "method_one()". Using "3[m" will jump to the start of the class. [# [# go to [count] previous unmatched "#if" or "#else". \|exclusive\| motion. ]# ]# go to [count] next unmatched "#else" or "#endif". \|exclusive\| motion. These two commands work in C programs that contain #if/#else/#endif constructs. It brings you to the start or end of the #if/#else/#endif where the current line is included. You can then use "%" to go to the matching line. [star [/ [* or [/ go to [count] previous start of a C comment "/". \|exclusive\| motion. ]star* ]/ ]* or ]/ go to [count] next end of a C comment "/". \|exclusive\| motion. H* H To line [count] from top (Home) of window (default: first line on the window) on the first non-blank character \|linewise\|. See also 'startofline' option. Cursor is adjusted for 'scrolloff' option, unless an operator is pending, in which case the text may scroll. E.g. "yH" yanks from the first visible line until the cursor line (inclusive). M M To Middle line of window, on the first non-blank character \|linewise\|. See also 'startofline' option. L L To line [count] from bottom of window (default: Last line on the window) on the first non-blank character \|linewise\|. See also 'startofline' option. Cursor is adjusted for 'scrolloff' option, unless an operator is pending, in which case the text may scroll. E.g. "yL" yanks from the cursor to the last visible line. <LeftMouse> Moves to the position on the screen where the mouse click is \|exclusive\|. See also \|<LeftMouse>\|. If the position is in a status line, that window is made the active window and the cursor is not moved. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	50.14 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Setting up NetBeans to run with Vim \|netbeans-setup\| {only available when compiled with the \|+netbeans_intg\| feature} ============================================================================== 1. Introduction netbeans-intro The NetBeans interface was initially developed to integrate Vim into the NetBeans Java IDE, using the external editor plugin. This NetBeans plugin no longer exists for recent versions of NetBeans but the protocol was developed in such a way that any IDE can use it to integrate Vim. The NetBeans protocol of Vim is a text based communication protocol, over a classical TCP socket. There is no dependency on Java or NetBeans. Any language or environment providing a socket interface can control Vim using this protocol. There are existing implementations in C, C++, Python and Java. The name NetBeans is kept today for historical reasons. Active project using the NetBeans protocol of Vim: - Eclim, http://eclim.org/ VimIntegration, description of various projects doing Vim Integration: http://www.freehackers.org/VimIntegration Projects using the NetBeans protocol of Vim are or were: - Agide, an IDE for the AAP project, written in Python (now replaced by \|:Termdebug\|): http://www.a-a-p.org - Clewn, a gdb integration into Vim, written in C: http://clewn.sourceforge.net/ - Pyclewn, a gdb integration into Vim, written in Python: http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/ - VimWrapper, library to easy Vim integration into IDE: http://www.freehackers.org/VimWrapper Outdated projects (links don't work): - VimPlugin, integration of Vim inside Eclipse: http://vimplugin.sourceforge.net/wiki/pmwiki.php - PIDA, IDE written in Python integrating Vim: http://pida.co.uk/ Check the specific project pages to see how to use Vim with these projects. An alternative is to use a channel, see \|channel\|. In the rest of this help page, we will use the term "Vim Controller" to describe the program controlling Vim through the NetBeans socket interface. About the NetBeans IDE ~ NetBeans is an open source Integrated Development Environment developed jointly by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and the netbeans.org developer community. Initially just a Java IDE, NetBeans has had C, C++, and Fortran support added in recent releases. For more information visit the main NetBeans web site http://www.netbeans.org. The External Editor is now, unfortunately, declared obsolete. See http://externaleditor.netbeans.org. Sun Microsystems, Inc. also ships NetBeans under the name Sun ONE Studio. Visit http://www.sun.com for more information regarding the Sun ONE Studio product line. Current releases of NetBeans provide full support for Java and limited support for C, C++, and Fortran. Current releases of Sun ONE Studio provide full support for Java, C, C++, and Fortran. ============================================================================== 2. Integration features netbeans-integration The NetBeans socket interface of Vim allows to get information from Vim or to ask Vim to perform specific actions: - get information about buffer: buffer name, cursor position, buffer content, etc. - be notified when buffers are open or closed - be notified of how the buffer content is modified - load and save files - modify the buffer content - installing special key bindings - raise the window, control the window geometry For sending key strokes to Vim or for evaluating functions in Vim, you must use the \|clientserver\| interface. ============================================================================== 3. Configuring Vim for NetBeans netbeans-configure For more help about installing Vim, please read \|usr_90.txt\| in the Vim User Manual. On Unix: -------- When running configure without arguments the NetBeans interface should be included. That is, if the configure check to find out if your system supports the required features succeeds. In case you do not want the NetBeans interface you can disable it by uncommenting a line with "--disable-netbeans" in the Makefile. Currently the NetBeans interface is supported by Vim running in a terminal and by gvim when it is run with one of the following GUIs: GTK, GNOME, Windows, Athena and Motif. netbeans-xpm If Motif support is required the user must supply XPM libraries. The XPM library is required to show images within Vim with Motif or Athena. Without it the toolbar and signs will be disabled. The XPM library is provided by Arnaud Le Hors of the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control. It can be downloaded from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXpm. The current release, as of this writing, is xpm-3.4k-solaris.tgz, which is a gzip'ed tar file. If you create the directory /usr/local/xpm and untar the file there you can use the uncommented lines in the Makefile without changing them. If you use another xpm directory you will need to change the XPM_DIR in src/Makefile. On MS-Windows: -------------- The Win32 support is now in beta stage. To use XPM signs on Win32 (e.g. when using with NetBeans) you can compile XPM by yourself or use precompiled libraries from http://iamphet.nm.ru/misc/ (for MS Visual C++) or http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net (for MinGW). Enable debugging: ----------------- To enable debugging of Vim and of the NetBeans protocol, the "NBDEBUG" macro needs to be defined. Search in the Makefile of the platform you are using for "NBDEBUG" to see what line needs to be uncommented. This effectively adds "-DNBDEBUG" to the compile command. Also see \|netbeans-debugging\| ============================================================================== 4. Error Messages netbeans-messages These error messages are specific to NetBeans socket protocol: E463 Region is guarded, cannot modify The Vim Controller has defined guarded areas in the text, which you cannot change. Also sets the current buffer, if necessary. E532 The defineAnnoType highlighting color name is too long The maximum length of the "fg" or "bg" color argument in the defineAnnoType command is 32 characters. New in version 2.5. E656 Writes of unmodified buffers forbidden Writes of unmodified buffers that were opened from the Vim Controller are not possible. E657 Partial writes disallowed Partial writes for buffers that were opened from the Vim Controller are not allowed. E658 Connection lost for this buffer The Vim Controller has become confused about the state of this file. Rather than risk data corruption, it has severed the connection for this file. Vim will take over responsibility for saving changes to this file and the Vim Controller will no longer know of these changes. E744 Read-only file Vim normally allows changes to a read-only file and only enforces the read-only rule if you try to write the file. However, NetBeans does not let you make changes to a file which is read-only and becomes confused if Vim does this. So Vim does not allow modifications to files when run in NetBeans mode. ============================================================================== 5. Running Vim in NetBeans mode netbeans-run There are two different ways to run Vim in NetBeans mode: + an IDE may start Vim with the \|-nb\| command line argument + NetBeans can be started from within Vim with the \|:nbstart\| command Vim uses a 3 second timeout on trying to make the connection. netbeans-parameters Three forms can be used to setup the NetBeans connection parameters. When started from the command line, the \|-nb\| command line argument may be: -nb={fname} from a file -nb:{hostname}:{addr}:{password} directly -nb from a file or environment When started from within Vim, the \|:nbstart\| optional argument may be: ={fname} from a file :{hostname}:{addr}:{password} directly <MISSING ARGUMENT> from a file or environment E660 E668 When NetBeans is started from the command line, for security reasons, the best method is to write the information in a file readable only by the user. The name of the file can be passed with the "-nb={fname}" argument or, when "-nb" is used without a parameter, the environment variable "__NETBEANS_CONINFO". The file must contain these three lines, in any order: host={hostname} port={addr} auth={password} Other lines are ignored. The Vim Controller is responsible for deleting the file afterwards. {hostname} is the name of the machine where Vim Controller is running. When omitted the environment variable "__NETBEANS_HOST" is used or the default "localhost". {addr} is the port number for the NetBeans interface. When omitted the environment variable "__NETBEANS_SOCKET" is used or the default 3219. {password} is the password for connecting to NetBeans. When omitted the environment variable "__NETBEANS_VIM_PASSWORD" is used or "changeme". Vim will initiate a socket connection (client side) to the specified host and port upon startup. The password will be sent with the AUTH event when the connection has been established. ============================================================================== 6. NetBeans protocol netbeans-protocol The communication between the Vim Controller and Vim uses plain text messages. This protocol was first designed to work with the external editor module of NetBeans. Later it was extended to work with Agide (A-A-P GUI IDE, see http://www.a-a-p.org) and then with other IDE. The extensions are marked with "version 2.1". Version 2.2 of the protocol has several minor changes which should only affect NetBeans users (ie, not Agide users). However, a bug was fixed which could cause confusion. The netbeans_saved() function sent a "save" protocol command. In protocol version 2.1 and earlier this was incorrectly interpreted as a notification that a write had taken place. In reality, it told NetBeans to save the file so multiple writes were being done. This caused various problems and has been fixed in 2.2. To decrease the likelihood of this confusion happening again, netbeans_saved() has been renamed to netbeans_save_buffer(). We are now at version 2.5. For the differences between 2.4 and 2.5 search for "2.5" below. The messages are currently sent over a socket. Since the messages are in plain UTF-8 text this protocol could also be used with any other communication mechanism. Netbeans messages are processed when Vim is idle, waiting for user input. When Vim is run in non-interactive mode, for example when running an automated test case that sources a Vim script, the idle loop may not be called often enough. In that case, insert \|:sleep\| commands in the Vim script. The \|:sleep\| command does invoke Netbeans messages processing. 6.1 Kinds of messages \|nb-messages\| 6.2 Terms \|nb-terms\| 6.3 Commands \|nb-commands\| 6.4 Functions and Replies \|nb-functions\| 6.5 Events \|nb-events\| 6.6 Special messages \|nb-special\| 6.7 Protocol errors \|nb-protocol_errors\| 6.1 Kinds of messages nb-messages There are four kinds of messages: kind direction comment ~ Command IDE -> editor no reply necessary Function IDE -> editor editor must send back a reply Reply editor -> IDE only in response to a Function Event editor -> IDE no reply necessary The messages are sent as a single line with a terminating newline character. Arguments are separated by a single space. The first item of the message depends on the kind of message: kind first item example ~ Command bufID:name!seqno 11:showBalloon!123 "text" Function bufID:name/seqno 11:getLength/123 Reply seqno 123 5000 Event bufID:name=seqno 11:keyCommand=123 "S-F2" 6.2 Terms nb-terms bufID Buffer number. A message may be either for a specific buffer or generic. Generic messages use a bufID of zero. NOTE: this buffer ID is assigned by the IDE, it is not Vim's buffer number. The bufID must be a sequentially rising number, starting at one. When the 'switchbuf' option is set to "usetab" and the "bufID" buffer is not found in the current tab page, the netbeans commands and functions that set this buffer as the current buffer will jump to the first open window that contains this buffer in other tab pages instead of replacing the buffer in the current window. seqno The IDE uses a sequence number for Commands and Functions. A Reply must use the sequence number of the Function that it is associated with. A zero sequence number can be used for Events (the seqno of the last received Command or Function can also be used). string Argument in double quotes. Text is in UTF-8 encoding. This means ASCII is passed as-is. Special characters are represented with a backslash: \" double quote \n newline \r carriage-return \t tab (optional, also works literally) \\ backslash NUL bytes are not allowed! boolean Argument with two possible values: T true F false number Argument with a decimal number. color Argument with either a decimal number, "none" (without the quotes) or the name of a color (without the quotes) defined both in the color list in \|highlight-ctermfg\| and in the color list in \|gui-colors\|. New in version 2.5. offset A number argument that indicates a byte position in a buffer. The first byte has offset zero. Line breaks are counted for how they appear in the file (CR/LF counts for two bytes). Note that a multibyte character is counted for the number of bytes it takes. lnum/col Argument with a line number and column number position. The line number starts with one, the column is the byte position, starting with zero. Note that a multibyte character counts for several columns. pathname String argument: file name with full path. 6.3 Commands nb-commands actionMenuItem Not implemented. actionSensitivity Not implemented. addAnno serNum typeNum off len Place an annotation in this buffer. Arguments: serNum number serial number of this placed annotation, used to be able to remove it typeNum number sequence number of the annotation defined with defineAnnoType for this buffer off number offset where annotation is to be placed len number not used In version 2.1 "lnum/col" can be used instead of "off". balloonResult text Not implemented. close Close the buffer. This leaves us without current buffer, very dangerous to use! create Creates a buffer without a name. Replaces the current buffer (it's hidden when it was changed). The Vim Controller should use this as the first command for a file that is being opened. The sequence of commands could be: create setCaretListener (ignored) setModified (no effect) setContentType (ignored) startDocumentListen setTitle setFullName defineAnnoType typeNum typeName tooltip glyphFile fg bg Define a type of annotation for this buffer. Arguments: typeNum number sequence number (not really used) typeName string name that identifies this annotation tooltip string not used glyphFile string name of icon file fg color foreground color for line highlighting bg color background color for line highlighting Vim will define a sign for the annotation. When color is a number, this is the "#rrggbb" Red, Green and Blue values of the color (see \|gui-colors\|) and the highlighting is only defined for gVim. When color is a name, this color is defined both for Vim running in a color terminal and for gVim. When both "fg" and "bg" are "none" no line highlighting is used (new in version 2.1). When "glyphFile" is empty, no text sign is used (new in version 2.1). When "glyphFile" is one or two characters long, a text sign is defined (new in version 2.1). Note: the annotations will be defined in sequence, and the sequence number is later used with addAnno. editFile pathname Set the name for the buffer and edit the file "pathname", a string argument. Normal way for the IDE to tell the editor to edit a file. You must set a bufId different of 0 with this command to assign a bufId to the buffer. It will trigger an event fileOpened with a bufId of 0 but the buffer has been assigned. If the IDE is going to pass the file text to the editor use these commands instead: setFullName insert initDone New in version 2.1. enableBalloonEval Not implemented. endAtomic End an atomic operation. The changes between "startAtomic" and "endAtomic" can be undone as one operation. But it's not implemented yet. Redraw when necessary. guard off len Mark an area in the buffer as guarded. This means it cannot be edited. "off" and "len" are numbers and specify the text to be guarded. initDone Mark the buffer as ready for use. Implicitly makes the buffer the current buffer. Fires the BufReadPost autocommand event. insertDone starteol readonly Sent by Vim Controller to tell Vim an initial file insert is done. This triggers a read message being printed. If "starteol" is "F" then the last line doesn't have a EOL. If "readonly" is "T" then the file is marked as readonly. Prior to version 2.3, no read messages were displayed after opening a file. New in version 2.3. moveAnnoToFront serNum Not implemented. netbeansBuffer isNetbeansBuffer If "isNetbeansBuffer" is "T" then this buffer is "owned" by NetBeans. New in version 2.2. putBufferNumber pathname Associate a buffer number with the Vim buffer by the name "pathname", a string argument. To be used when the editor reported editing another file to the IDE and the IDE needs to tell the editor what buffer number it will use for this file. Also marks the buffer as initialized. New in version 2.1. raise Bring the editor to the foreground. Only when Vim is run with a GUI. New in version 2.1. removeAnno serNum Remove a previously placed annotation for this buffer. "serNum" is the same number used in addAnno. save Save the buffer when it was modified. The other side of the interface is expected to write the buffer and invoke "setModified" to reset the "changed" flag of the buffer. The writing is skipped when one of these conditions is true: - 'write' is not set - the buffer is read-only - the buffer does not have a file name - 'buftype' disallows writing New in version 2.2. saveDone Sent by Vim Controller to tell Vim a save is done. This triggers a save message being printed. Prior to version 2.3, no save messages were displayed after a save. New in version 2.3. setAsUser Not implemented. setBufferNumber pathname Associate a buffer number with Vim buffer by the name "pathname". To be used when the editor reported editing another file to the IDE and the IDE needs to tell the editor what buffer number it will use for this file. Has the side effect of making the buffer the current buffer. See "putBufferNumber" for a more useful command. setContentType Not implemented. setDot off Make the buffer the current buffer and set the cursor at the specified position. If the buffer is open in another window than make that window the current window. If there are folds they are opened to make the cursor line visible. In version 2.1 "lnum/col" can be used instead of "off". setExitDelay seconds Set the delay for exiting to "seconds", a number. This delay is used to give the IDE a chance to handle things before really exiting. The default delay is two seconds. New in version 2.1. Obsolete in version 2.3. setFullName pathname Set the file name to be used for a buffer to "pathname", a string argument. Used when the IDE wants to edit a file under control of the IDE. This makes the buffer the current buffer, but does not read the file. "insert" commands will be used next to set the contents. setLocAndSize Not implemented. setMark Not implemented. setModified modified When the boolean argument "modified" is "T" mark the buffer as modified, when it is "F" mark it as unmodified. setModtime time Update a buffers modification time after the file has been saved directly by the Vim Controller. New in version 2.3. setReadOnly readonly When the boolean argument "readonly" is "T" for True, mark the buffer as readonly, when it is "F" for False, mark it as not readonly. Implemented in version 2.3. setStyle Not implemented. setTitle name Set the title for the buffer to "name", a string argument. The title is only used for the Vim Controller functions, not by Vim. setVisible visible When the boolean argument "visible" is "T", goto the buffer. The "F" argument does nothing. showBalloon text Show a balloon (popup window) at the mouse pointer position, containing "text", a string argument. The balloon should disappear when the mouse is moved more than a few pixels. Only when Vim is run with a GUI. New in version 2.1. specialKeys Map a set of keys (mostly function keys) to be passed back to the Vim Controller for processing. This lets regular IDE hotkeys be used from Vim. Implemented in version 2.3. startAtomic Begin an atomic operation. The screen will not be updated until "endAtomic" is given. startCaretListen Not implemented. startDocumentListen Mark the buffer to report changes to the IDE with the "insert" and "remove" events. The default is to report changes. stopCaretListen Not implemented. stopDocumentListen Mark the buffer to stop reporting changes to the IDE. Opposite of startDocumentListen. NOTE: if "netbeansBuffer" was used to mark this buffer as a NetBeans buffer, then the buffer is deleted in Vim. This is for compatibility with Sun Studio 10. unguard off len Opposite of "guard", remove guarding for a text area. Also sets the current buffer, if necessary. version Not implemented. 6.4 Functions and Replies nb-functions getDot Not implemented. getCursor Return the current buffer and cursor position. The reply is: seqno bufID lnum col off seqno = sequence number of the function bufID = buffer ID of the current buffer (if this is unknown -1 is used) lnum = line number of the cursor (first line is one) col = column number of the cursor (in bytes, zero based) off = offset of the cursor in the buffer (in bytes) New in version 2.1. getLength Return the length of the buffer in bytes. Reply example for a buffer with 5000 bytes: 123 5000 TODO: explain use of partial line. getMark Not implemented. getAnno serNum Return the line number of the annotation in the buffer. Argument: serNum serial number of this placed annotation The reply is: 123 lnum line number of the annotation 123 0 invalid annotation serial number New in version 2.4. getModified When a buffer is specified: Return zero if the buffer does not have changes, one if it does have changes. When no buffer is specified (buffer number zero): Return the number of buffers with changes. When the result is zero it's safe to tell Vim to exit. New in version 2.1. getText Return the contents of the buffer as a string. Reply example for a buffer with two lines 123 "first line\nsecond line\n" NOTE: docs indicate an offset and length argument, but this is not implemented. insert off text Insert "text" before position "off". "text" is a string argument, "off" a number. "text" should have a "\n" (newline) at the end of each line. Or "\r\n" when 'fileformat' is "dos". When using "insert" in an empty buffer Vim will set 'fileformat' accordingly. When "off" points to the start of a line the text is inserted above this line. Thus when "off" is zero lines are inserted before the first line. When "off" points after the start of a line, possibly on the NUL at the end of a line, the first line of text is appended to this line. Further lines come below it. Possible replies: 123 no problem 123 !message failed Note that the message in the reply is not quoted. Also sets the current buffer, if necessary. Does not move the cursor to the changed text. Resets undo information. remove off length Delete "length" bytes of text at position "off". Both arguments are numbers. Possible replies: 123 no problem 123 !message failed Note that the message in the reply is not quoted. Also sets the current buffer, if necessary. saveAndExit Perform the equivalent of closing Vim: ":confirm qall". If there are no changed files or the user does not cancel the operation Vim exits and no result is sent back. The IDE can consider closing the connection as a successful result. If the user cancels the operation the number of modified buffers that remains is returned and Vim does not exit. New in version 2.1. 6.5 Events nb-events balloonEval off len type The mouse pointer rests on text for a short while. When "len" is zero, there is no selection and the pointer is at position "off". When "len" is non-zero the text from position "off" to "off" + "len" is selected. Only sent after "enableBalloonEval" was used for this buffer. "type" is not yet defined. Not implemented yet. balloonText text Used when 'ballooneval' is set and the mouse pointer rests on some text for a moment. "text" is a string, the text under the mouse pointer. Only when Vim is run with a GUI. New in version 2.1. buttonRelease button lnum col Report which button was pressed and the location of the cursor at the time of the release. Only for buffers that are owned by the Vim Controller. This event is not sent if the button was released while the mouse was in the status line or in a separator line. If col is less than 1 the button release was in the sign area. New in version 2.2. disconnect Tell the Vim Controller that Vim is exiting and not to try and read or write more commands. New in version 2.3. fileClosed Not implemented. fileModified Not implemented. fileOpened pathname open modified A file was opened by the user. Arguments: pathname string name of the file open boolean always "T" modified boolean always "F" geometry cols rows x y Report the size and position of the editor window. Arguments: cols number number of text columns rows number number of text rows x number pixel position on screen y number pixel position on screen Only works for Motif. insert off text Text "text" has been inserted in Vim at position "off". Only fired when enabled, see "startDocumentListen". invokeAction Not implemented. keyCommand keyName Reports a special key being pressed with name "keyName", which is a string. Supported key names: F1 function key 1 F2 function key 2 ... F12 function key 12 ' ' space (without the quotes) ! exclamation mark ... any other ASCII printable character ~ tilde X any unrecognized key The key may be prepended by "C", "S" and/or "M" for Control, Shift and Meta (Alt) modifiers. If there is a modifier a dash is used to separate it from the key name. For example: "C-F2". ASCII characters are new in version 2.1. keyAtPos keyName lnum/col Like "keyCommand" and also report the line number and column of the cursor. New in version 2.1. killed A file was deleted or wiped out by the user and the buffer annotations have been removed. The bufID number for this buffer has become invalid. Only for files that have been assigned a bufID number by the IDE. newDotAndMark off off Reports the position of the cursor being at "off" bytes into the buffer. Only sent just before a "keyCommand" event. quit Not implemented. remove off len Text was deleted in Vim at position "off" with byte length "len". Only fired when enabled, see "startDocumentListen". revert Not implemented. save The buffer has been saved and is now unmodified. Only fired when enabled, see "startDocumentListen". startupDone The editor has finished its startup work and is ready for editing files. New in version 2.1. unmodified The buffer is now unmodified. Only fired when enabled, see "startDocumentListen". version vers Report the version of the interface implementation. Vim reports "2.4" (including the quotes). 6.6 Special messages nb-special These messages do not follow the style of the messages above. They are terminated by a newline character. ACCEPT Not used. AUTH password editor -> IDE: First message that the editor sends to the IDE. Must contain the password for the socket server, as specified with the \|-nb\| argument. No quotes are used! DISCONNECT IDE -> editor: break the connection. The editor will exit. The IDE must only send this message when there are no unsaved changes! DETACH IDE -> editor: break the connection without exiting the editor. Used when the IDE exits without bringing down the editor as well. New in version 2.1. REJECT Not used. 6.7 Protocol errors nb-protocol_errors These errors occur when a message violates the protocol: E627 E628 E629 E632 E633 E634 E635 E636 E637 E638 E639 E640 E641 E642 E643 E644 E645 E646 E647 E648 E649 E650 E651 E652 ============================================================================== 7. NetBeans commands netbeans-commands :nbstart E511 E838 :nbs[tart] {connection} Start a new Netbeans session with {connection} as the socket connection parameters. The format of {connection} is described in \|netbeans-parameters\|. At any time, one may check if the netbeans socket is connected by running the command: ':echo has("netbeans_enabled")' :nbclose :nbc[lose] Close the current NetBeans session. Remove all placed signs. :nbkey :nb[key] {key} Pass the {key} to the Vim Controller for processing. When a hot-key has been installed with the specialKeys command, this command can be used to generate a hotkey message to the Vim Controller. This command can also be used to pass any text to the Vim Controller. It is used by Pyclewn, for example, to build the complete set of gdb commands as Vim user commands. The events newDotAndMark, keyCommand and keyAtPos are generated (in this order). ============================================================================== 8. Known problems netbeans-problems NUL bytes are not possible. For editor -> IDE they will appear as NL characters. For IDE -> editor they cannot be inserted. A NetBeans session may be initiated with Vim running in a terminal, and continued later in a GUI environment after running the \|:gui\| command. In this case, the highlighting defined for the NetBeans annotations may be cleared when the ":gui" command sources .gvimrc and this file loads a colorscheme that runs the command ":highlight clear". New in version 2.5. ============================================================================== 9. Debugging NetBeans protocol netbeans-debugging To debug the Vim protocol, you must first compile Vim with debugging support and NetBeans debugging support. See \|netbeans-configure\| for instructions about Vim compiling and how to enable debug support. When running Vim, set the following environment variables: export SPRO_GVIM_DEBUG=netbeans.log export SPRO_GVIM_DLEVEL=0xffffffff Vim will then log all the incoming and outgoing messages of the NetBeans protocol to the file netbeans.log . The content of netbeans.log after a session looks like this: Tue May 20 17:19:27 2008 EVT: 0:startupDone=0 CMD 1: (1) create CMD 2: (1) setTitle "testfile1.txt" CMD 3: (1) setFullName "testfile1.txt" EVT(suppressed): 1:remove=3 0 -1 EVT: 1:fileOpened=0 "d:\\work\\vimWrapper\\vimWrapper2\\pyvimwrapper\\tests\\testfile1.txt" T F CMD 4: (1) initDone FUN 5: (0) getCursor REP 5: 1 1 0 0 CMD 6: (2) create CMD 7: (2) setTitle "testfile2.txt" CMD 8: (2) setFullName "testfile2.txt" EVT(suppressed): 2:remove=8 0 -1 EVT: 2:fileOpened=0 "d:\\work\\vimWrapper\\vimWrapper2\\pyvimwrapper\\tests\\testfile2.txt" T F CMD 9: (2) initDone ============================================================================== 10. NetBeans External Editor NOTE: This information is obsolete! Only relevant if you are using an old version of NetBeans. 10.1. Downloading NetBeans netbeans-download The NetBeans IDE is available for download from netbeans.org. You can download a released version, download sources, or use CVS to download the current source tree. If you choose to download sources, follow directions from netbeans.org on building NetBeans. Depending on the version of NetBeans you download, you may need to do further work to get the required External Editor module. This is the module which lets NetBeans work with gvim (or xemacs :-). See http://externaleditor.netbeans.org for details on downloading this module if your NetBeans release does not have it. For C, C++, and Fortran support you will also need the cpp module. See http://cpp.netbeans.org for information regarding this module. You can also download Sun ONE Studio from Sun Microsystems, Inc for a 30 day free trial. See http://www.sun.com for further details. 10.2. NetBeans Key Bindings netbeans-keybindings Vim understands a number of key bindings that execute NetBeans commands. These are typically all the Function key combinations. To execute a NetBeans command, the user must press the Pause key followed by a NetBeans key binding. For example, in order to compile a Java file, the NetBeans key binding is "F9". So, while in vim, press "Pause F9" to compile a java file. To toggle a breakpoint at the current line, press "Pause Shift F8". The Pause key is Function key 21. If you don't have a working Pause key and want to use F8 instead, use: > :map <F8> <F21> The External Editor module dynamically reads the NetBeans key bindings so vim should always have the latest key bindings, even when NetBeans changes them. 10.3. Preparing NetBeans for Vim netbeans-preparation In order for NetBeans to work with vim, the NetBeans External Editor module must be loaded and enabled. If you have a Sun ONE Studio Enterprise Edition then this module should be loaded and enabled. If you have a NetBeans release you may need to find another way of obtaining this open source module. You can check if you have this module by opening the Tools->Options dialog and drilling down to the "Modules" list (IDE Configuration->System->Modules). If your Modules list has an entry for "External Editor" you must make sure it is enabled (the "Enabled" property should have the value "True"). If your Modules list has no External Editor see the next section on \|obtaining-exted\|. 10.4. Obtaining the External Editor Module obtaining-exted There are 2 ways of obtaining the External Editor module. The easiest way is to use the NetBeans Update Center to download and install the module. Unfortunately, some versions do not have this module in their update center. If you cannot download via the update center you will need to download sources and build the module. I will try and get the module available from the NetBeans Update Center so building will be unnecessary. Also check http://externaleditor.netbeans.org for other availability options. To download the External Editor sources via CVS and build your own module, see http://externaleditor.netbeans.org and http://www.netbeans.org. Unfortunately, this is not a trivial procedure. 10.5. Setting up NetBeans to run with Vim netbeans-setup Assuming you have loaded and enabled the NetBeans External Editor module as described in \|netbeans-preparation\| all you need to do is verify that the gvim command line is properly configured for your environment. Open the Tools->Options dialog and open the Editing category. Select the External Editor. The right hand pane should contain a Properties tab and an Expert tab. In the Properties tab make sure the "Editor Type" is set to "Vim". In the Expert tab make sure the "Vim Command" is correct. You should be careful if you change the "Vim Command". There are command line options there which must be there for the connection to be properly set up. You can change the command name but that's about it. If your gvim can be found by your $PATH then the Vim Command can start with "gvim". If you don't want gvim searched from your $PATH then hard code in the full Unix path name. At this point you should get a gvim for any source file you open in NetBeans. If some files come up in gvim and others (with different file suffixes) come up in the default NetBeans editor you should verify the MIME type in the Expert tab MIME Type property. NetBeans is MIME oriented and the External Editor will only open MIME types specified in this property. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	37.09 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 options.txt options.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Feb 13 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Options options 1. Setting options \|set-option\| 2. Automatically setting options \|auto-setting\| 3. Options summary \|option-summary\| For an overview of options see quickref.txt \|option-list\|. Vim has a number of internal variables and switches which can be set to achieve special effects. These options come in three forms: boolean can only be on or off boolean toggle number has a numeric value string has a string value ============================================================================== 1. Setting options set-option E764 :se :set :se[t][!] Show all options that differ from their default value. When [!] is present every option is on a separate line. :se[t][!] all Show all but terminal options. When [!] is present every option is on a separate line. :se[t] termcap Show all terminal options. Note that in the GUI the key codes are not shown, because they are generated internally and can't be changed. Changing the terminal codes in the GUI is not useful either... E518 E519 :se[t] {option}? Show value of {option}. :se[t] {option} Toggle option: set, switch it on. Number option: show value. String option: show value. :se[t] no{option} Toggle option: Reset, switch it off. :set-! :set-inv :se[t] {option}! or :se[t] inv{option} Toggle option: Invert value. :set-default :set-& :set-&vi :set-&vim :se[t] {option}& Reset option to its default value. May depend on the current value of 'compatible'. :se[t] {option}&vi Reset option to its Vi default value. :se[t] {option}&vim Reset option to its Vim default value. :se[t] all& Set all options to their default value. The values of these options are not changed: all terminal options, starting with t_ 'columns' 'cryptmethod' 'encoding' 'key' 'lines' 'term' 'ttymouse' 'ttytype' Warning: This may have a lot of side effects. :set-args E487 E521 :se[t] {option}={value} or :se[t] {option}:{value} Set string or number option to {value}. For numeric options the value can be given in decimal, hex (preceded with 0x) or octal (preceded with '0'). The old value can be inserted by typing 'wildchar' (by default this is a <Tab> or CTRL-E if 'compatible' is set). See \|cmdline-completion\|. White space between {option} and '=' is allowed and will be ignored. White space between '=' and {value} is not allowed. See \|option-backslash\| for using white space and backslashes in {value}. :se[t] {option}+={value} :set+= Add the {value} to a number option, or append the {value} to a string option. When the option is a comma separated list, a comma is added, unless the value was empty. If the option is a list of flags, superfluous flags are removed. When adding a flag that was already present the option value doesn't change. Also see \|:set-args\| above. :se[t] {option}^={value} :set^= Multiply the {value} to a number option, or prepend the {value} to a string option. When the option is a comma separated list, a comma is added, unless the value was empty. Also see \|:set-args\| above. :se[t] {option}-={value} :set-= Subtract the {value} from a number option, or remove the {value} from a string option, if it is there. If the {value} is not found in a string option, there is no error or warning. When the option is a comma separated list, a comma is deleted, unless the option becomes empty. When the option is a list of flags, {value} must be exactly as they appear in the option. Remove flags one by one to avoid problems. Also see \|:set-args\| above. The {option} arguments to ":set" may be repeated. For example: > :set ai nosi sw=3 ts=3 If you make an error in one of the arguments, an error message will be given and the following arguments will be ignored. :set-verbose When 'verbose' is non-zero, displaying an option value will also tell where it was last set. Example: > :verbose set shiftwidth cindent? < shiftwidth=4 ~ Last set from modeline line 1 ~ cindent ~ Last set from /usr/local/share/vim/vim60/ftplugin/c.vim line 30 ~ This is only done when specific option values are requested, not for ":verbose set all" or ":verbose set" without an argument. When the option was set by hand there is no "Last set" message. When the option was set while executing a function, user command or autocommand, the script in which it was defined is reported. Note that an option may also have been set as a side effect of setting 'compatible'. A few special texts: Last set from modeline line 1 ~ Option was set in a \|modeline\|. Last set from --cmd argument ~ Option was set with command line argument \|--cmd\| or +. Last set from -c argument ~ Option was set with command line argument \|-c\|, +, \|-S\| or \|-q\|. Last set from environment variable ~ Option was set from an environment variable, $VIMINIT, $GVIMINIT or $EXINIT. Last set from error handler ~ Option was cleared when evaluating it resulted in an error. {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} :set-termcap E522 For {option} the form "t_xx" may be used to set a terminal option. This will override the value from the termcap. You can then use it in a mapping. If the "xx" part contains special characters, use the <t_xx> form: > :set <t_#4>=^[Ot This can also be used to translate a special code for a normal key. For example, if Alt-b produces <Esc>b, use this: > :set <M-b>=^[b (the ^[ is a real <Esc> here, use CTRL-V <Esc> to enter it) The advantage over a mapping is that it works in all situations. You can define any key codes, e.g.: > :set t_xy=^[foo; There is no warning for using a name that isn't recognized. You can map these codes as you like: > :map <t_xy> something < E846 When a key code is not set, it's like it does not exist. Trying to get its value will result in an error: > :set t_kb= :set t_kb E846: Key code not set: t_kb The t_xx options cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. The listing from ":set" looks different from Vi. Long string options are put at the end of the list. The number of options is quite large. The output of "set all" probably does not fit on the screen, causing Vim to give the \|more-prompt\|. option-backslash To include white space in a string option value it has to be preceded with a backslash. To include a backslash you have to use two. Effectively this means that the number of backslashes in an option value is halved (rounded down). A few examples: > :set tags=tags\ /usr/tags results in "tags /usr/tags" :set tags=tags\\,file results in "tags\,file" :set tags=tags\\\ file results in "tags\ file" The "\|" character separates a ":set" command from a following command. To include the "\|" in the option value, use "\\|" instead. This example sets the 'titlestring' option to "hi\|there": > :set titlestring=hi\\|there This sets the 'titlestring' option to "hi" and 'iconstring' to "there": > :set titlestring=hi\|set iconstring=there Similarly, the double quote character starts a comment. To include the '"' in the option value, use '\"' instead. This example sets the 'titlestring' option to 'hi "there"': > :set titlestring=hi\ \"there\" For Win32 backslashes in file names are mostly not removed. More precise: For options that expect a file name (those where environment variables are expanded) a backslash before a normal file name character is not removed. But a backslash before a special character (space, backslash, comma, etc.) is used like explained above. There is one special situation, when the value starts with "\\": > :set dir=\\machine\path results in "\\machine\path" :set dir=\\\\machine\\path results in "\\machine\path" :set dir=\\path\\file results in "\\path\file" (wrong!) For the first one the start is kept, but for the second one the backslashes are halved. This makes sure it works both when you expect backslashes to be halved and when you expect the backslashes to be kept. The third gives a result which is probably not what you want. Avoid it. add-option-flags remove-option-flags E539 E550 E551 E552 Some options are a list of flags. When you want to add a flag to such an option, without changing the existing ones, you can do it like this: > :set guioptions+=a Remove a flag from an option like this: > :set guioptions-=a This removes the 'a' flag from 'guioptions'. Note that you should add or remove one flag at a time. If 'guioptions' has the value "ab", using "set guioptions-=ba" won't work, because the string "ba" doesn't appear. :set_env expand-env expand-environment-var Environment variables in specific string options will be expanded. If the environment variable exists the '$' and the following environment variable name is replaced with its value. If it does not exist the '$' and the name are not modified. Any non-id character (not a letter, digit or '_') may follow the environment variable name. That character and what follows is appended to the value of the environment variable. Examples: > :set term=$TERM.new :set path=/usr/$INCLUDE,$HOME/include,. When adding or removing a string from an option with ":set opt-=val" or ":set opt+=val" the expansion is done before the adding or removing. Handling of local options local-options Some of the options only apply to a window or buffer. Each window or buffer has its own copy of this option, thus each can have its own value. This allows you to set 'list' in one window but not in another. And set 'shiftwidth' to 3 in one buffer and 4 in another. The following explains what happens to these local options in specific situations. You don't really need to know all of this, since Vim mostly uses the option values you would expect. Unfortunately, doing what the user expects is a bit complicated... When splitting a window, the local options are copied to the new window. Thus right after the split the contents of the two windows look the same. When editing a new buffer, its local option values must be initialized. Since the local options of the current buffer might be specifically for that buffer, these are not used. Instead, for each buffer-local option there also is a global value, which is used for new buffers. With ":set" both the local and global value is changed. With "setlocal" only the local value is changed, thus this value is not used when editing a new buffer. When editing a buffer that has been edited before, the options from the window that was last closed are used again. If this buffer has been edited in this window, the values from back then are used. Otherwise the values from the last closed window where the buffer was edited last are used. It's possible to set a local window option specifically for a type of buffer. When you edit another buffer in the same window, you don't want to keep using these local window options. Therefore Vim keeps a global value of the local window options, which is used when editing another buffer. Each window has its own copy of these values. Thus these are local to the window, but global to all buffers in the window. With this you can do: > :e one :set list :e two Now the 'list' option will also be set in "two", since with the ":set list" command you have also set the global value. > :set nolist :e one :setlocal list :e two Now the 'list' option is not set, because ":set nolist" resets the global value, ":setlocal list" only changes the local value and ":e two" gets the global value. Note that if you do this next: > :e one You will get back the 'list' value as it was the last time you edited "one". The options local to a window are remembered for each buffer. This also happens when the buffer is not loaded, but they are lost when the buffer is wiped out \|:bwipe\|. :setl :setlocal :setl[ocal][!] ... Like ":set" but set only the value local to the current buffer or window. Not all options have a local value. If the option does not have a local value the global value is set. With the "all" argument: display local values for all local options. Without argument: Display local values for all local options which are different from the default. When displaying a specific local option, show the local value. For a global/local boolean option, when the global value is being used, "--" is displayed before the option name. For a global option the global value is shown (but that might change in the future). :setl[ocal] {option}< Set the local value of {option} to its global value by copying the value. :se[t] {option}< For \|global-local\| options: Remove the local value of {option}, so that the global value will be used. :setg :setglobal :setg[lobal][!] ... Like ":set" but set only the global value for a local option without changing the local value. When displaying an option, the global value is shown. With the "all" argument: display global values for all local options. Without argument: display global values for all local options which are different from the default. For buffer-local and window-local options: Command global value local value ~ :set option=value set set :setlocal option=value - set :setglobal option=value set - :set option? - display :setlocal option? - display :setglobal option? display - Global options with a local value global-local Options are global when you mostly use one value for all buffers and windows. For some global options it's useful to sometimes have a different local value. You can set the local value with ":setlocal". That buffer or window will then use the local value, while other buffers and windows continue using the global value. For example, you have two windows, both on C source code. They use the global 'makeprg' option. If you do this in one of the two windows: > :set makeprg=gmake then the other window will switch to the same value. There is no need to set the 'makeprg' option in the other C source window too. However, if you start editing a Perl file in a new window, you want to use another 'makeprg' for it, without changing the value used for the C source files. You use this command: > :setlocal makeprg=perlmake You can switch back to using the global value by making the local value empty: > :setlocal makeprg= This only works for a string option. For a number or boolean option you need to use the "<" flag, like this: > :setlocal autoread< Note that for non-boolean and non-number options using "<" copies the global value to the local value, it doesn't switch back to using the global value (that matters when the global value changes later). You can also use: > :set path< This will make the local value of 'path' empty, so that the global value is used. Thus it does the same as: > :setlocal path= Note: In the future more global options can be made global-local. Using ":setlocal" on a global option might work differently then. Setting the filetype :setf[iletype] [FALLBACK] {filetype} :setf :setfiletype Set the 'filetype' option to {filetype}, but only if not done yet in a sequence of (nested) autocommands. This is short for: > :if !did_filetype() : setlocal filetype={filetype} :endif < This command is used in a filetype.vim file to avoid setting the 'filetype' option twice, causing different settings and syntax files to be loaded. When the optional FALLBACK argument is present, a later :setfiletype command will override the 'filetype'. This is to be used for filetype detections that are just a guess. \|did_filetype()\| will return false after this command. option-window optwin :bro[wse] se[t] :set-browse :browse-set :opt :options :opt[ions] Open a window for viewing and setting all options. Options are grouped by function. Offers short help for each option. Hit <CR> on the short help to open a help window with more help for the option. Modify the value of the option and hit <CR> on the "set" line to set the new value. For window and buffer specific options, the last accessed window is used to set the option value in, unless this is a help window, in which case the window below help window is used (skipping the option-window). {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} $HOME Using "~" is like using "$HOME", but it is only recognized at the start of an option and after a space or comma. On Unix systems "~user" can be used too. It is replaced by the home directory of user "user". Example: > :set path=~mool/include,/usr/include,. On Unix systems the form "${HOME}" can be used too. The name between {} can contain non-id characters then. Note that if you want to use this for the "gf" command, you need to add the '{' and '}' characters to 'isfname'. NOTE: expanding environment variables and "~/" is only done with the ":set" command, not when assigning a value to an option with ":let". $HOME-windows On MS-Windows, if $HOME is not defined as an environment variable, then at runtime Vim will set it to the expansion of $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH. If $HOMEDRIVE is not set then $USERPROFILE is used. This expanded value is not exported to the environment, this matters when running an external command: > :echo system('set \| findstr ^HOME=') and > :echo luaeval('os.getenv("HOME")') should echo nothing (an empty string) despite exists('$HOME') being true. When setting $HOME to a non-empty string it will be exported to the subprocesses. Note the maximum length of an expanded option is limited. How much depends on the system, mostly it is something like 256 or 1024 characters. :fix :fixdel :fix[del] Set the value of 't_kD': 't_kb' is 't_kD' becomes ~ CTRL-? CTRL-H not CTRL-? CTRL-? (CTRL-? is 0o177 octal, 0x7f hex) If your delete key terminal code is wrong, but the code for backspace is alright, you can put this in your .vimrc: > :fixdel < This works no matter what the actual code for backspace is. If the backspace key terminal code is wrong you can use this: > :if &term == "termname" : set t_kb=^V<BS> : fixdel :endif < Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<BS>" is the backspace key (don't type four characters!). Replace "termname" with your terminal name. If your <Delete> key sends a strange key sequence (not CTRL-? or CTRL-H) you cannot use ":fixdel". Then use: > :if &term == "termname" : set t_kD=^V<Delete> :endif < Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<Delete>" is the delete key (don't type eight characters!). Replace "termname" with your terminal name. Linux-backspace Note about Linux: By default the backspace key produces CTRL-?, which is wrong. You can fix it by putting this line in your rc.local: > echo "keycode 14 = BackSpace" \| loadkeys < NetBSD-backspace Note about NetBSD: If your backspace doesn't produce the right code, try this: > xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace" < If this works, add this in your .Xmodmap file: > keysym 22 = BackSpace < You need to restart for this to take effect. ============================================================================== 2. Automatically setting options auto-setting Besides changing options with the ":set" command, there are three alternatives to set options automatically for one or more files: 1. When starting Vim initializations are read from various places. See \|initialization\|. Most of them are performed for all editing sessions, and some of them depend on the directory where Vim is started. You can create an initialization file with \|:mkvimrc\|, \|:mkview\| and \|:mksession\|. 2. If you start editing a new file, the automatic commands are executed. This can be used to set options for files matching a particular pattern and many other things. See \|autocommand\|. 3. If you start editing a new file, and the 'modeline' option is on, a number of lines at the beginning and end of the file are checked for modelines. This is explained here. modeline vim: vi: ex: E520 There are two forms of modelines. The first form: [text{white}]{vi:\|vim:\|ex:}[white]{options} [text{white}] empty or any text followed by at least one blank character (<Space> or <Tab>); "ex:" always requires at least one blank character {vi:\|vim:\|ex:} the string "vi:", "vim:" or "ex:" [white] optional white space {options} a list of option settings, separated with white space or ':', where each part between ':' is the argument for a ":set" command (can be empty) Examples: vi:noai:sw=3 ts=6 ~ vim: tw=77 ~ The second form (this is compatible with some versions of Vi): [text{white}]{vi:\|vim:\|Vim:\|ex:}[white]se[t] {options}:[text] [text{white}] empty or any text followed by at least one blank character (<Space> or <Tab>); "ex:" always requires at least one blank character {vi:\|vim:\|Vim:\|ex:} the string "vi:", "vim:", "Vim:" or "ex:" [white] optional white space se[t] the string "set " or "se " (note the space); When "Vim" is used it must be "set". {options} a list of options, separated with white space, which is the argument for a ":set" command : a colon [text] any text or empty Examples: /* vim: set ai tw=75: / ~ / Vim: set ai tw=75: / ~ The white space before {vi:\|vim:\|Vim:\|ex:} is required. This minimizes the chance that a normal word like "lex:" is caught. There is one exception: "vi:" and "vim:" can also be at the start of the line (for compatibility with version 3.0). Using "ex:" at the start of the line will be ignored (this could be short for "example:"). modeline-local* The options are set like with ":setlocal": The new value only applies to the buffer and window that contain the file. Although it's possible to set global options from a modeline, this is unusual. If you have two windows open and the files in it set the same global option to a different value, the result depends on which one was opened last. When editing a file that was already loaded, only the window-local options from the modeline are used. Thus if you manually changed a buffer-local option after opening the file, it won't be changed if you edit the same buffer in another window. But window-local options will be set. modeline-version If the modeline is only to be used for some versions of Vim, the version number can be specified where "vim:" or "Vim:" is used: vim{vers}: version {vers} or later vim<{vers}: version before {vers} vim={vers}: version {vers} vim>{vers}: version after {vers} {vers} is 700 for Vim 7.0 (hundred times the major version plus minor). For example, to use a modeline only for Vim 7.0: /* vim700: set foldmethod=marker / ~ To use a modeline for Vim after version 7.2: / vim>702: set cole=2: / ~ There can be no blanks between "vim" and the ":". The number of lines that are checked can be set with the 'modelines' option. If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is 0 no lines are checked. Note that for the first form all of the rest of the line is used, thus a line like: / vi:ts=4: / ~ will give an error message for the trailing "/". This line is OK: /* vi:set ts=4: / ~ If an error is detected the rest of the line is skipped. If you want to include a ':' in a set command precede it with a '\'. The backslash in front of the ':' will be removed. Example: / vi:set fillchars=stl\:^,vert\:\\|: / ~ This sets the 'fillchars' option to "stl:^,vert:\\|". Only a single backslash before the ':' is removed. Thus to include "\:" you have to specify "\\:". E992* No other commands than "set" are supported, for security reasons (somebody might create a Trojan horse text file with modelines). And not all options can be set. For some options a flag is set, so that when the value is used the \|sandbox\| is effective. Some options can only be set from the modeline when 'modelineexpr' is set (the default is off). Still, there is always a small risk that a modeline causes trouble. E.g., when some joker sets 'textwidth' to 5 all your lines are wrapped unexpectedly. So disable modelines before editing untrusted text. The mail ftplugin does this, for example. Hint: If you would like to do something else than setting an option, you could define an autocommand that checks the file for a specific string. For example: > au BufReadPost * if getline(1) =~ "VAR" \| call SetVar() \| endif And define a function SetVar() that does something with the line containing "VAR". ============================================================================== 3. Options summary option-summary In the list below all the options are mentioned with their full name and with an abbreviation if there is one. Both forms may be used. In this document when a boolean option is "set" that means that ":set option" is entered. When an option is "reset", ":set nooption" is used. For some options there are two default values: The "Vim default", which is used when 'compatible' is not set, and the "Vi default", which is used when 'compatible' is set. Most options are the same in all windows and buffers. There are a few that are specific to how the text is presented in a window. These can be set to a different value in each window. For example the 'list' option can be set in one window and reset in another for the same text, giving both types of view at the same time. There are a few options that are specific to a certain file. These can have a different value for each file or buffer. For example the 'textwidth' option can be 78 for a normal text file and 0 for a C program. global one option for all buffers and windows local to window each window has its own copy of this option local to buffer each buffer has its own copy of this option When creating a new window the option values from the currently active window are used as a default value for the window-specific options. For the buffer-specific options this depends on the 's' and 'S' flags in the 'cpoptions' option. If 's' is included (which is the default) the values for buffer options are copied from the currently active buffer when a buffer is first entered. If 'S' is present the options are copied each time the buffer is entered, this is almost like having global options. If 's' and 'S' are not present, the options are copied from the currently active buffer when the buffer is created. Hidden options hidden-options Not all options are supported in all versions. This depends on the supported features and sometimes on the system. A remark about this is in curly braces below. When an option is not supported it may still be set without getting an error, this is called a hidden option. You can't get the value of a hidden option though, it is not stored. To test if option "foo" can be used with ":set" use something like this: > if exists('&foo') This also returns true for a hidden option. To test if option "foo" is really supported use something like this: > if exists('+foo') < E355 A jump table for the options with a short description can be found at \|Q_op\|. 'aleph' 'al' aleph Aleph 'aleph' 'al' number (default 128 for MS-Windows, 224 otherwise) global {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} The ASCII code for the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The routine that maps the keyboard in Hebrew mode, both in Insert mode (when hkmap is set) and on the command-line (when hitting CTRL-_) outputs the Hebrew characters in the range [aleph..aleph+26]. aleph=128 applies to PC code, and aleph=224 applies to ISO 8859-8. See \|rileft.txt\|. 'allowrevins' 'ari' 'noallowrevins' 'noari' 'allowrevins' 'ari' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} Allow CTRL-_ in Insert and Command-line mode. This is default off, to avoid that users that accidentally type CTRL-_ instead of SHIFT-_ get into reverse Insert mode, and don't know how to get out. See 'revins'. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'altkeymap' 'akm' 'noaltkeymap' 'noakm' 'altkeymap' 'akm' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with the \|+farsi\| feature} This option was for using Farsi, which has been removed. See \|farsi.txt\|. 'ambiwidth' 'ambw' 'ambiwidth' 'ambw' string (default: "single") global Only effective when 'encoding' is "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding. Tells Vim what to do with characters with East Asian Width Class Ambiguous (such as Euro, Registered Sign, Copyright Sign, Greek letters, Cyrillic letters). There are currently two possible values: "single": Use the same width as characters in US-ASCII. This is expected by most users. "double": Use twice the width of ASCII characters. E834 E835 The value "double" cannot be used if 'listchars' or 'fillchars' contains a character that would be double width. The values are overruled for characters specified with \|setcellwidths()\|. There are a number of CJK fonts for which the width of glyphs for those characters are solely based on how many octets they take in legacy/traditional CJK encodings. In those encodings, Euro, Registered sign, Greek/Cyrillic letters are represented by two octets, therefore those fonts have "wide" glyphs for them. This is also true of some line drawing characters used to make tables in text file. Therefore, when a CJK font is used for GUI Vim or Vim is running inside a terminal (emulators) that uses a CJK font (or Vim is run inside an xterm invoked with "-cjkwidth" option.), this option should be set to "double" to match the width perceived by Vim with the width of glyphs in the font. Perhaps it also has to be set to "double" under CJK MS-Windows when the system locale is set to one of CJK locales. See Unicode Standard Annex #11 (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11). Vim may set this option automatically at startup time when Vim is compiled with the \|+termresponse\| feature and if \|t_u7\| is set to the escape sequence to request cursor position report. The response can be found in \|v:termu7resp\|. 'antialias' 'anti' 'noantialias' 'noanti' 'antialias' 'anti' boolean (default: off) global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled on macOS} This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim on macOS v10.2 or later. When on, Vim will use smooth ("antialiased") fonts, which can be easier to read at certain sizes on certain displays. Setting this option can sometimes cause problems if 'guifont' is set to its default (empty string). NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'autochdir' 'acd' 'noautochdir' 'noacd' 'autochdir' 'acd' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with it, use exists("+autochdir") to check} When on, Vim will change the current working directory whenever you open a file, switch buffers, delete a buffer or open/close a window. It will change to the directory containing the file which was opened or selected. Note: When this option is on some plugins may not work. 'arabic' 'arab' 'noarabic' 'noarab' 'arabic' 'arab' boolean (default off) local to window {only available when compiled with the \|+arabic\| feature} This option can be set to start editing Arabic text. Setting this option will: - Set the 'rightleft' option, unless 'termbidi' is set. - Set the 'arabicshape' option, unless 'termbidi' is set. - Set the 'keymap' option to "arabic"; in Insert mode CTRL-^ toggles between typing English and Arabic key mapping. - Set the 'delcombine' option Note that 'encoding' must be "utf-8" for working with Arabic text. Resetting this option will: - Reset the 'rightleft' option. - Disable the use of 'keymap' (without changing its value). Note that 'arabicshape' and 'delcombine' are not reset (it is a global option). NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. Also see \|arabic.txt\|. 'arabicshape' 'arshape' 'noarabicshape' 'noarshape' 'arabicshape' 'arshape' boolean (default on) global {only available when compiled with the \|+arabic\| feature} When on and 'termbidi' is off, the required visual character corrections that need to take place for displaying the Arabic language take effect. Shaping, in essence, gets enabled; the term is a broad one which encompasses: a) the changing/morphing of characters based on their location within a word (initial, medial, final and stand-alone). b) the enabling of the ability to compose characters c) the enabling of the required combining of some characters When disabled the display shows each character's true stand-alone form. Arabic is a complex language which requires other settings, for further details see \|arabic.txt\|. NOTE: This option is set when 'compatible' is set. 'autoindent' 'ai' 'noautoindent' 'noai' 'autoindent' 'ai' boolean (default off) local to buffer Copy indent from current line when starting a new line (typing <CR> in Insert mode or when using the "o" or "O" command). If you do not type anything on the new line except <BS> or CTRL-D and then type <Esc>, CTRL-O or <CR>, the indent is deleted again. Moving the cursor to another line has the same effect, unless the 'I' flag is included in 'cpoptions'. When autoindent is on, formatting (with the "gq" command or when you reach 'textwidth' in Insert mode) uses the indentation of the first line. When 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is on the indent is changed in a different way. The 'autoindent' option is reset when the 'paste' option is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. 'autoread' 'ar' 'noautoread' 'noar' 'autoread' 'ar' boolean (default off) global or local to buffer \|global-local\| When a file has been detected to have been changed outside of Vim and it has not been changed inside of Vim, automatically read it again. When the file has been deleted this is not done, so you have the text from before it was deleted. When it appears again then it is read. \|timestamp\| If this option has a local value, use this command to switch back to using the global value: > :set autoread< < 'autowrite' 'aw' 'noautowrite' 'noaw' 'autowrite' 'aw' boolean (default off) global Write the contents of the file, if it has been modified, on each :next, :rewind, :last, :first, :previous, :stop, :suspend, :tag, :!, :make, CTRL-] and CTRL-^ command; and when a :buffer, CTRL-O, CTRL-I, '{A-Z0-9}, or `{A-Z0-9} command takes one to another file. Note that for some commands the 'autowrite' option is not used, see 'autowriteall' for that. Some buffers will not be written, specifically when 'buftype' is "nowrite", "nofile", "terminal" or "prompt". 'autowriteall' 'awa' 'noautowriteall' 'noawa' 'autowriteall' 'awa' boolean (default off) global Like 'autowrite', but also used for commands ":edit", ":enew", ":quit", ":qall", ":exit", ":xit", ":recover" and closing the Vim window. Setting this option also implies that Vim behaves like 'autowrite' has been set. 'background' 'bg' 'background' 'bg' string (default "dark" or "light", see below) global When set to "dark", Vim will try to use colors that look good on a dark background. When set to "light", Vim will try to use colors that look good on a light background. Any other value is illegal. Vim tries to set the default value according to the terminal used. This will not always be correct. Setting this option does not change the background color, it tells Vim what the background color looks like. For changing the background color, see \|:hi-normal\|. When 'background' is set Vim will adjust the default color groups for the new value. But the colors used for syntax highlighting will not change. g:colors_name When a color scheme is loaded (the "g:colors_name" variable is set) setting 'background' will cause the color scheme to be reloaded. If the color scheme adjusts to the value of 'background' this will work. However, if the color scheme sets 'background' itself the effect may be undone. First delete the "g:colors_name" variable when needed. When setting 'background' to the default value with: > :set background& < Vim will guess the value. In the GUI this should work correctly, in other cases Vim might not be able to guess the right value. If the GUI supports a dark theme, you can use the "d" flag in 'guioptions', see 'go-d'. When the \|t_RB\| option is set, Vim will use it to request the background color from the terminal. If the returned RGB value is dark/light and 'background' is not dark/light, 'background' will be set and the screen is redrawn. This may have side effects, make t_BG empty in your .vimrc if you suspect this problem. The response to \|t_RB\| can be found in \|v:termrbgresp\|. When starting the GUI, the default value for 'background' will be "light". When the value is not set in the .gvimrc, and Vim detects that the background is actually quite dark, 'background' is set to "dark". But this happens only AFTER the .gvimrc file has been read (because the window needs to be opened to find the actual background color). To get around this, force the GUI window to be opened by putting a ":gui" command in the .gvimrc file, before where the value of 'background' is used (e.g., before ":syntax on"). For MS-Windows the default is "dark". For other systems "dark" is used when 'term' is "linux", "screen.linux", "cygwin" or "putty", or $COLORFGBG suggests a dark background. Otherwise the default is "light". The \|:terminal\| command and the \|term_start()\| function use the 'background' value to decide whether the terminal window will start with a white or black background. Normally this option would be set in the .vimrc file. Possibly depending on the terminal name. Example: > :if &term == "pcterm" : set background=dark :endif < When this option is set, the default settings for the highlight groups will change. To use other settings, place ":highlight" commands AFTER the setting of the 'background' option. This option is also used in the "$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim" file to select the colors for syntax highlighting. After changing this option, you must load syntax.vim again to see the result. This can be done with ":syntax on". 'backspace' 'bs' 'backspace' 'bs' string (default "", set to "indent,eol,start" in \|defaults.vim\|) global Influences the working of <BS>, <Del>, CTRL-W and CTRL-U in Insert mode. This is a list of items, separated by commas. Each item allows a way to backspace over something: value effect ~ indent allow backspacing over autoindent eol allow backspacing over line breaks (join lines) start allow backspacing over the start of insert; CTRL-W and CTRL-U stop once at the start of insert. nostop like start, except CTRL-W and CTRL-U do not stop at the start of insert. When the value is empty, Vi compatible backspacing is used. For backwards compatibility with version 5.4 and earlier: value effect ~ 0 same as ":set backspace=" (Vi compatible) 1 same as ":set backspace=indent,eol" 2 same as ":set backspace=indent,eol,start" 3 same as ":set backspace=indent,eol,nostop" See \|:fixdel\| if your <BS> or <Del> key does not do what you want. NOTE: This option is set to "" when 'compatible' is set. 'backup' 'bk' 'nobackup' 'nobk' 'backup' 'bk' boolean (default off) global Make a backup before overwriting a file. Leave it around after the file has been successfully written. If you do not want to keep the backup file, but you do want a backup while the file is being written, reset this option and set the 'writebackup' option (this is the default). If you do not want a backup file at all reset both options (use this if your file system is almost full). See the \|backup-table\| for more explanations. When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway. When 'patchmode' is set, the backup may be renamed to become the oldest version of a file. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'backupcopy' 'bkc' 'backupcopy' 'bkc' string (Vi default for Unix: "yes", otherwise: "auto") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| When writing a file and a backup is made, this option tells how it's done. This is a comma separated list of words. The main values are: "yes" make a copy of the file and overwrite the original one "no" rename the file and write a new one "auto" one of the previous, what works best Extra values that can be combined with the ones above are: "breaksymlink" always break symlinks when writing "breakhardlink" always break hardlinks when writing Making a copy and overwriting the original file: - Takes extra time to copy the file. + When the file has special attributes, is a (hard/symbolic) link or has a resource fork, all this is preserved. - When the file is a link the backup will have the name of the link, not of the real file. Renaming the file and writing a new one: + It's fast. - Sometimes not all attributes of the file can be copied to the new file. - When the file is a link the new file will not be a link. The "auto" value is the middle way: When Vim sees that renaming file is possible without side effects (the attributes can be passed on and the file is not a link) that is used. When problems are expected, a copy will be made. The "breaksymlink" and "breakhardlink" values can be used in combination with any of "yes", "no" and "auto". When included, they force Vim to always break either symbolic or hard links by doing exactly what the "no" option does, renaming the original file to become the backup and writing a new file in its place. This can be useful for example in source trees where all the files are symbolic or hard links and any changes should stay in the local source tree, not be propagated back to the original source. crontab One situation where "no" and "auto" will cause problems: A program that opens a file, invokes Vim to edit that file, and then tests if the open file was changed (through the file descriptor) will check the backup file instead of the newly created file. "crontab -e" is an example. When a copy is made, the original file is truncated and then filled with the new text. This means that protection bits, owner and symbolic links of the original file are unmodified. The backup file however, is a new file, owned by the user who edited the file. The group of the backup is set to the group of the original file. If this fails, the protection bits for the group are made the same as for others. When the file is renamed this is the other way around: The backup has the same attributes of the original file, and the newly written file is owned by the current user. When the file was a (hard/symbolic) link, the new file will not! That's why the "auto" value doesn't rename when the file is a link. The owner and group of the newly written file will be set to the same ones as the original file, but the system may refuse to do this. In that case the "auto" value will again not rename the file. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'backupdir' 'bdir' 'backupdir' 'bdir' string (default for Amiga: ".,t:", for Win32: ".,$TEMP,c:/tmp,c:/temp" for Unix: ".,~/tmp,~/") global List of directories for the backup file, separated with commas. - The backup file will be created in the first directory in the list where this is possible. The directory must exist, Vim will not create it for you. - Empty means that no backup file will be created ('patchmode' is impossible!). Writing may fail because of this. - A directory "." means to put the backup file in the same directory as the edited file. - A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-Windows) means to put the backup file relative to where the edited file is. The leading "." is replaced with the path name of the edited file. ("." inside a directory name has no special meaning). - Spaces after the comma are ignored, other spaces are considered part of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory name, precede it with a backslash. - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash. - A directory name may end in an '/'. - For Unix and Win32, if a directory ends in two path separators "//", the backup file name will be built from the complete path to the file with all path separators changed to percent '%' signs. This will ensure file name uniqueness in the backup directory. On Win32, it is also possible to end with "\\". However, When a separating comma is following, you must use "//", since "\\" will include the comma in the file name. Therefore it is recommended to use '//', instead of '\\'. - Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. - Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to get one in the option (see \|option-backslash\|), for example: > :set bdir=c:\\tmp,\ dir\\,with\\,commas,\\\ dir\ with\ spaces < - For backwards compatibility with Vim version 3.0 a '>' at the start of the option is removed. See also 'backup' and 'writebackup' options. If you want to hide your backup files on Unix, consider this value: > :set backupdir=./.backup,~/.backup,.,/tmp < You must create a ".backup" directory in each directory and in your home directory for this to work properly. The use of \|:set+=\| and \|:set-=\| is preferred when adding or removing directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version uses another default. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'backupext' 'bex' E589 'backupext' 'bex' string (default "~", for VMS: "_") global String which is appended to a file name to make the name of the backup file. The default is quite unusual, because this avoids accidentally overwriting existing files with a backup file. You might prefer using ".bak", but make sure that you don't have files with ".bak" that you want to keep. Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\?[\|<>" are illegal. If you like to keep a lot of backups, you could use a BufWritePre autocommand to change 'backupext' just before writing the file to include a timestamp. > :au BufWritePre let &bex = '-' . strftime("%Y%b%d%X") . '~' < Use 'backupdir' to put the backup in a different directory. 'backupskip' 'bsk' 'backupskip' 'bsk' string (default: "$TMPDIR/,$TMP/,$TEMP/" Unix: "/tmp/,$TMPDIR/,$TMP/,$TEMP/" Mac: "/private/tmp/,$TMPDIR/,$TMP/,$TEMP/") global {not available when compiled without the \|+wildignore\| feature} A list of file patterns. When one of the patterns matches with the name of the file which is written, no backup file is created. Both the specified file name and the full path name of the file are used. The pattern is used like with \|:autocmd\|, see \|autocmd-patterns\|. Watch out for special characters, see \|option-backslash\|. When $TMPDIR, $TMP or $TEMP is not defined, it is not used for the default value. "/tmp/" is only used for Unix. WARNING: Not having a backup file means that when Vim fails to write your buffer correctly and then, for whatever reason, Vim exits, you lose both the original file and what you were writing. Only disable backups if you don't care about losing the file. Note that environment variables are not expanded. If you want to use $HOME you must expand it explicitly, e.g.: > :let &backupskip = escape(expand('$HOME'), '\') . '/tmp/' < Note that the default also makes sure that "crontab -e" works (when a backup would be made by renaming the original file crontab won't see the newly created file). Also see 'backupcopy' and \|crontab\|. 'balloondelay'* 'bdlay' 'balloondelay' 'bdlay' number (default: 600) global {only available when compiled with the \|+balloon_eval\| feature} Delay in milliseconds before a balloon may pop up. See \|balloon-eval\|. 'ballooneval' 'beval' 'noballooneval' 'nobeval' 'ballooneval' 'beval' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with the \|+balloon_eval\| feature} Switch on the \|balloon-eval\| functionality for the GUI. 'balloonevalterm' 'bevalterm' 'noballoonevalterm' 'nobevalterm' 'balloonevalterm' 'bevalterm' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with the \|+balloon_eval_term\| feature} Switch on the \|balloon-eval\| functionality for the terminal. 'balloonexpr' 'bexpr' 'balloonexpr' 'bexpr' string (default "") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| {only available when compiled with the \|+balloon_eval\| feature} Expression for text to show in evaluation balloon. It is only used when 'ballooneval' or 'balloonevalterm' is on. These variables can be used: v:beval_bufnr number of the buffer in which balloon is going to show v:beval_winnr number of the window v:beval_winid ID of the window v:beval_lnum line number v:beval_col column number (byte index) v:beval_text word under or after the mouse pointer Instead of showing a balloon, which is limited to plain text, consider using a popup window, see \|popup_beval_example\|. A popup window can use highlighting and show a border. The evaluation of the expression must not have side effects! Example: > function MyBalloonExpr() return 'Cursor is at line ' . v:beval_lnum . \', column ' . v:beval_col . \ ' of file ' . bufname(v:beval_bufnr) . \ ' on word "' . v:beval_text . '"' endfunction set bexpr=MyBalloonExpr() set ballooneval < Also see \|balloon_show()\|, it can be used if the content of the balloon is to be fetched asynchronously. In that case evaluating 'balloonexpr' should result in an empty string. If you get a balloon with only "0" you probably didn't return anything from your function. NOTE: The balloon is displayed only if the cursor is on a text character. If the result of evaluating 'balloonexpr' is not empty, Vim does not try to send a message to an external debugger (Netbeans or Sun Workshop). The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| when set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while evaluating 'balloonexpr', see \|textlock\|. To check whether line breaks in the balloon text work use this check: > if has("balloon_multiline") < When they are supported "\n" characters will start a new line. If the expression evaluates to a \|List\| this is equal to using each List item as a string and putting "\n" in between them. NOTE: This option is set to "" when 'compatible' is set. 'belloff' 'bo' 'belloff' 'bo' string (default "") global Specifies for which events the bell will not be rung. It is a comma separated list of items. For each item that is present, the bell will be silenced. This is most useful to specify specific events in insert mode to be silenced. item meaning when present ~ all All events. backspace When hitting <BS> or <Del> and deleting results in an error. cursor Fail to move around using the cursor keys or <PageUp>/<PageDown> in \|Insert-mode\|. complete Error occurred when using \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K\| or \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-T\|. copy Cannot copy char from insert mode using \|i_CTRL-Y\| or \|i_CTRL-E\|. ctrlg Unknown Char after <C-G> in Insert mode. error Other Error occurred (e.g. try to join last line) (mostly used in \|Normal-mode\| or \|Cmdline-mode\|). esc hitting <Esc> in \|Normal-mode\|. ex In \|Visual-mode\|, hitting \|Q\| results in an error. hangul Ignored. insertmode Pressing <Esc> in 'insertmode'. lang Calling the beep module for Lua/Mzscheme/TCL. mess No output available for \|g<\|. showmatch Error occurred for 'showmatch' function. operator Empty region error \|cpo-E\|. register Unknown register after <C-R> in \|Insert-mode\|. shell Bell from shell output \|:!\|. spell Error happened on spell suggest. wildmode More matches in \|cmdline-completion\| available (depends on the 'wildmode' setting). This is most useful to fine tune when in Insert mode the bell should be rung. For Normal mode and Ex commands, the bell is often rung to indicate that an error occurred. It can be silenced by adding the "error" keyword. 'binary' 'bin' 'nobinary' 'nobin' 'binary' 'bin' boolean (default off) local to buffer This option should be set before editing a binary file. You can also use the \|-b\| Vim argument. When this option is switched on a few options will be changed (also when it already was on): 'textwidth' will be set to 0 'wrapmargin' will be set to 0 'modeline' will be off 'expandtab' will be off Also, 'fileformat' and 'fileformats' options will not be used, the file is read and written like 'fileformat' was "unix" (a single <NL> separates lines). The 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings' options will not be used, the file is read without conversion. NOTE: When you start editing a(nother) file while the 'bin' option is on, settings from autocommands may change the settings again (e.g., 'textwidth'), causing trouble when editing. You might want to set 'bin' again when the file has been loaded. The previous values of these options are remembered and restored when 'bin' is switched from on to off. Each buffer has its own set of saved option values. To edit a file with 'binary' set you can use the \|++bin\| argument. This avoids you have to do ":set bin", which would have effect for all files you edit. When writing a file the <EOL> for the last line is only written if there was one in the original file (normally Vim appends an <EOL> to the last line if there is none; this would make the file longer). See the 'endofline' option. 'bioskey' 'biosk' 'nobioskey' 'nobiosk' 'bioskey' 'biosk' boolean (default on) global {only for MS-DOS} This was for MS-DOS and is no longer supported. 'bomb' 'nobomb' 'bomb' boolean (default off) local to buffer When writing a file and the following conditions are met, a BOM (Byte Order Mark) is prepended to the file: - this option is on - the 'binary' option is off - 'fileencoding' is "utf-8", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" or one of the little/big endian variants. Some applications use the BOM to recognize the encoding of the file. Often used for UCS-2 files on MS-Windows. For other applications it causes trouble, for example: "cat file1 file2" makes the BOM of file2 appear halfway the resulting file. Gcc doesn't accept a BOM. When Vim reads a file and 'fileencodings' starts with "ucs-bom", a check for the presence of the BOM is done and 'bomb' set accordingly. Unless 'binary' is set, it is removed from the first line, so that you don't see it when editing. When you don't change the options, the BOM will be restored when writing the file. 'breakat' 'brk' 'breakat' 'brk' string (default " ^I!@-+;:,./?") global {not available when compiled without the \|+linebreak\| feature} This option lets you choose which characters might cause a line break if 'linebreak' is on. Only works for ASCII and also for 8-bit characters when 'encoding' is an 8-bit encoding. 'breakindent'* 'bri' 'nobreakindent' 'nobri' 'breakindent' 'bri' boolean (default off) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+linebreak\| feature} Every wrapped line will continue visually indented (same amount of space as the beginning of that line), thus preserving horizontal blocks of text. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'breakindentopt' 'briopt' 'breakindentopt' 'briopt' string (default empty) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+linebreak\| feature} Settings for 'breakindent'. It can consist of the following optional items and must be separated by a comma: min:{n} Minimum text width that will be kept after applying 'breakindent', even if the resulting text should normally be narrower. This prevents text indented almost to the right window border occupying lot of vertical space when broken. shift:{n} After applying 'breakindent', the wrapped line's beginning will be shifted by the given number of characters. It permits dynamic French paragraph indentation (negative) or emphasizing the line continuation (positive). sbr Display the 'showbreak' value before applying the additional indent. The default value for min is 20 and shift is 0. 'browsedir' 'bsdir' 'browsedir' 'bsdir' string (default: "last") global {only for Motif, Athena, GTK, Mac and Win32 GUI} Which directory to use for the file browser: last Use same directory as with last file browser, where a file was opened or saved. buffer Use the directory of the related buffer. current Use the current directory. {path} Use the specified directory 'bufhidden' 'bh' 'bufhidden' 'bh' string (default: "") local to buffer This option specifies what happens when a buffer is no longer displayed in a window: <empty> follow the global 'hidden' option hide hide the buffer (don't unload it), also when 'hidden' is not set unload unload the buffer, also when 'hidden' is set or using \|:hide\| delete delete the buffer from the buffer list, also when 'hidden' is set or using \|:hide\|, like using \|:bdelete\| wipe wipe out the buffer from the buffer list, also when 'hidden' is set or using \|:hide\|, like using \|:bwipeout\| CAREFUL: when "unload", "delete" or "wipe" is used changes in a buffer are lost without a warning. Also, these values may break autocommands that switch between buffers temporarily. This option is used together with 'buftype' and 'swapfile' to specify special kinds of buffers. See \|special-buffers\|. 'buflisted' 'bl' 'nobuflisted' 'nobl' E85 'buflisted' 'bl' boolean (default: on) local to buffer When this option is set, the buffer shows up in the buffer list. If it is reset it is not used for ":bnext", "ls", the Buffers menu, etc. This option is reset by Vim for buffers that are only used to remember a file name or marks. Vim sets it when starting to edit a buffer. But not when moving to a buffer with ":buffer". 'buftype' 'bt' E382 'buftype' 'bt' string (default: "") local to buffer The value of this option specifies the type of a buffer: <empty> normal buffer nofile buffer which is not related to a file and will not be written nowrite buffer which will not be written acwrite buffer which will always be written with BufWriteCmd autocommands. quickfix quickfix buffer, contains list of errors \|:cwindow\| or list of locations \|:lwindow\| help help buffer (you are not supposed to set this manually) terminal buffer for a \|terminal\| (you are not supposed to set this manually) prompt buffer where only the last line can be edited, meant to be used by a plugin, see \|prompt-buffer\| {only when compiled with the \|+channel\| feature} popup buffer used in a popup window, see \|popup\|. {only when compiled with the \|+textprop\| feature} This option is used together with 'bufhidden' and 'swapfile' to specify special kinds of buffers. See \|special-buffers\|. Also see \|win_gettype()\|, which returns the type of the window. Be careful with changing this option, it can have many side effects! A "quickfix" buffer is only used for the error list and the location list. This value is set by the \|:cwindow\| and \|:lwindow\| commands and you are not supposed to change it. "nofile" and "nowrite" buffers are similar: both: The buffer is not to be written to disk, ":w" doesn't work (":w filename" does work though). both: The buffer is never considered to be \|'modified'\|. There is no warning when the changes will be lost, for example when you quit Vim. both: A swap file is only created when using too much memory (when 'swapfile' has been reset there is never a swap file). nofile only: The buffer name is fixed, it is not handled like a file name. It is not modified in response to a \|:cd\| command. both: When using ":e bufname" and already editing "bufname" the buffer is made empty and autocommands are triggered as usual for \|:edit\|. E676 "acwrite" implies that the buffer name is not related to a file, like "nofile", but it will be written. Thus, in contrast to "nofile" and "nowrite", ":w" does work and a modified buffer can't be abandoned without saving. For writing there must be matching \|BufWriteCmd\|, \|FileWriteCmd\| or \|FileAppendCmd\| autocommands. 'casemap' 'cmp' 'casemap' 'cmp' string (default: "internal,keepascii") global Specifies details about changing the case of letters. It may contain these words, separated by a comma: internal Use internal case mapping functions, the current locale does not change the case mapping. This only matters when 'encoding' is a Unicode encoding, "latin1" or "iso-8859-15". When "internal" is omitted, the towupper() and towlower() system library functions are used when available. keepascii For the ASCII characters (0x00 to 0x7f) use the US case mapping, the current locale is not effective. This probably only matters for Turkish. 'cdpath' 'cd' E344 E346 'cdpath' 'cd' string (default: equivalent to $CDPATH or ",,") global {not available when compiled without the \|+file_in_path\| feature} This is a list of directories which will be searched when using the \|:cd\|, \|:tcd\| and \|:lcd\| commands, provided that the directory being searched for has a relative path, not an absolute part starting with "/", "./" or "../", the 'cdpath' option is not used then. The 'cdpath' option's value has the same form and semantics as \|'path'\|. Also see \|file-searching\|. The default value is taken from $CDPATH, with a "," prepended to look in the current directory first. If the default value taken from $CDPATH is not what you want, include a modified version of the following command in your vimrc file to override it: > :let &cdpath = ',' . substitute(substitute($CDPATH, '[, ]', '\\\0', 'g'), ':', ',', 'g') < This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. (parts of 'cdpath' can be passed to the shell to expand file names). 'cedit' 'cedit' string (Vi default: "", Vim default: CTRL-F) global The key used in Command-line Mode to open the command-line window. The default is CTRL-F when 'compatible' is off. Only non-printable keys are allowed. The key can be specified as a single character, but it is difficult to type. The preferred way is to use the <> notation. Examples: > :exe "set cedit=\<C-Y>" :exe "set cedit=\<Esc>" < \|Nvi\| also has this option, but it only uses the first character. See \|cmdwin\|. NOTE: This option is set to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'charconvert' 'ccv' E202 E214 E513 'charconvert' 'ccv' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|+eval\| feature} An expression that is used for character encoding conversion. It is evaluated when a file that is to be read or has been written has a different encoding from what is desired. 'charconvert' is not used when the internal iconv() function is supported and is able to do the conversion. Using iconv() is preferred, because it is much faster. 'charconvert' is not used when reading stdin \|--\|, because there is no file to convert from. You will have to save the text in a file first. The expression must return zero or an empty string for success, non-zero for failure. The possible encoding names encountered are in 'encoding'. Additionally, names given in 'fileencodings' and 'fileencoding' are used. Conversion between "latin1", "unicode", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" and "utf-8" is done internally by Vim, 'charconvert' is not used for this. 'charconvert' is also used to convert the viminfo file, if the 'c' flag is present in 'viminfo'. Also used for Unicode conversion. Example: > set charconvert=CharConvert() fun CharConvert() system("recode " \ . v:charconvert_from . ".." . v:charconvert_to \ . " <" . v:fname_in . " >" v:fname_out) return v:shell_error endfun < The related Vim variables are: v:charconvert_from name of the current encoding v:charconvert_to name of the desired encoding v:fname_in name of the input file v:fname_out name of the output file Note that v:fname_in and v:fname_out will never be the same. Note that v:charconvert_from and v:charconvert_to may be different from 'encoding'. Vim internally uses UTF-8 instead of UCS-2 or UCS-4. Encryption is not done by Vim when using 'charconvert'. If you want to encrypt the file after conversion, 'charconvert' should take care of this. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'cindent' 'cin' 'nocindent' 'nocin' 'cindent' 'cin' boolean (default off) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+cindent\| feature} Enables automatic C program indenting. See 'cinkeys' to set the keys that trigger reindenting in insert mode and 'cinoptions' to set your preferred indent style. If 'indentexpr' is not empty, it overrules 'cindent'. If 'lisp' is not on and both 'indentexpr' and 'equalprg' are empty, the "=" operator indents using this algorithm rather than calling an external program. See \|C-indenting\|. When you don't like the way 'cindent' works, try the 'smartindent' option or 'indentexpr'. This option is not used when 'paste' is set. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'cinkeys' 'cink' 'cinkeys' 'cink' string (default "0{,0},0),0],:,0#,!^F,o,O,e") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+cindent\| feature} A list of keys that, when typed in Insert mode, cause reindenting of the current line. Only used if 'cindent' is on and 'indentexpr' is empty. For the format of this option see \|cinkeys-format\|. See \|C-indenting\|. 'cinoptions' 'cino' 'cinoptions' 'cino' string (default "") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+cindent\| feature} The 'cinoptions' affect the way 'cindent' reindents lines in a C program. See \|cinoptions-values\| for the values of this option, and \|C-indenting\| for info on C indenting in general. 'cinwords' 'cinw' 'cinwords' 'cinw' string (default "if,else,while,do,for,switch") local to buffer {not available when compiled without both the \|+cindent\| and the \|+smartindent\| features} These keywords start an extra indent in the next line when 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is set. For 'cindent' this is only done at an appropriate place (inside {}). Note that 'ignorecase' isn't used for 'cinwords'. If case doesn't matter, include the keyword both the uppercase and lowercase: "if,If,IF". 'clipboard' 'cb' 'clipboard' 'cb' string (default "autoselect,exclude:cons\\|linux" for X-windows, "" otherwise) global {only in GUI versions or when the \|+xterm_clipboard\| feature is included} This option is a list of comma separated names. Note: if one of the items is "exclude:", then you can't add an item after that. Therefore do append an item with += but use ^= to prepend, e.g.: > set clipboard^=unnamed < These names are recognized: clipboard-unnamed unnamed When included, Vim will use the clipboard register '' for all yank, delete, change and put operations which would normally go to the unnamed register. When a register is explicitly specified, it will always be used regardless of whether "unnamed" is in 'clipboard' or not. The clipboard register can always be explicitly accessed using the " notation. Also see \|gui-clipboard\|. clipboard-unnamedplus unnamedplus A variant of the "unnamed" flag which uses the clipboard register '+' (\|quoteplus\|) instead of register '' for all yank, delete, change and put operations which would normally go to the unnamed register. When "unnamed" is also included to the option, yank operations (but not delete, change or put) will additionally copy the text into register ''. Only available with the \|+X11\| feature. Availability can be checked with: > if has('unnamedplus') < clipboard-autoselect autoselect Works like the 'a' flag in 'guioptions': If present, then whenever Visual mode is started, or the Visual area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of the windowing system's global selection or put the selected text on the clipboard used by the selection register ". See \|'go-a'\| and \|quotestar\| for details. When the GUI is active, the 'a' flag in 'guioptions' is used, when the GUI is not active, this "autoselect" flag is used. Also applies to the modeless selection. clipboard-autoselectplus* autoselectplus Like "autoselect" but using the + register instead of the * register. Compare to the 'P' flag in 'guioptions'. clipboard-autoselectml autoselectml Like "autoselect", but for the modeless selection only. Compare to the 'A' flag in 'guioptions'. clipboard-html html When the clipboard contains HTML, use this when pasting. When putting text on the clipboard, mark it as HTML. This works to copy rendered HTML from Firefox, paste it as raw HTML in Vim, select the HTML in Vim and paste it in a rich edit box in Firefox. You probably want to add this only temporarily, possibly use BufEnter autocommands. Only supported for GTK version 2 and later. clipboard-exclude exclude:{pattern} Defines a pattern that is matched against the name of the terminal 'term'. If there is a match, no connection will be made to the X server. This is useful in this situation: - Running Vim in a console. - $DISPLAY is set to start applications on another display. - You do not want to connect to the X server in the console, but do want this in a terminal emulator. To never connect to the X server use: > exclude:.* < This has the same effect as using the \|-X\| argument. Note that when there is no connection to the X server the window title won't be restored and the clipboard cannot be accessed. The value of 'magic' is ignored, {pattern} is interpreted as if 'magic' was on. The rest of the option value will be used for {pattern}, this must be the last entry. 'cmdheight' 'ch' 'cmdheight' 'ch' number (default 1) global Number of screen lines to use for the command-line. Helps avoiding \|hit-enter\| prompts. The value of this option is stored with the tab page, so that each tab page can have a different value. 'cmdwinheight' 'cwh' 'cmdwinheight' 'cwh' number (default 7) global Number of screen lines to use for the command-line window. \|cmdwin\| 'colorcolumn' 'cc' 'colorcolumn' 'cc' string (default "") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} 'colorcolumn' is a comma separated list of screen columns that are highlighted with ColorColumn \|hl-ColorColumn\|. Useful to align text. Will make screen redrawing slower. The screen column can be an absolute number, or a number preceded with '+' or '-', which is added to or subtracted from 'textwidth'. > :set cc=+1 " highlight column after 'textwidth' :set cc=+1,+2,+3 " highlight three columns after 'textwidth' :hi ColorColumn ctermbg=lightgrey guibg=lightgrey < When 'textwidth' is zero then the items with '-' and '+' are not used. A maximum of 256 columns are highlighted. 'columns' 'co' E594 'columns' 'co' number (default 80 or terminal width) global Number of columns of the screen. Normally this is set by the terminal initialization and does not have to be set by hand. Also see \|posix-screen-size\|. When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your \|gvimrc\| file. When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical number of columns of the display, the display may be messed up. For the GUI it is always possible and Vim limits the number of columns to what fits on the screen. You can use this command to get the widest window possible: > :set columns=9999 < Minimum value is 12, maximum value is 10000. 'comments' 'com' E524 E525 'comments' 'com' string (default "s1:/,mb:,ex:/,://,b:#,:%,:XCOMM,n:>,fb:-") local to buffer A comma separated list of strings that can start a comment line. See \|format-comments\|. See \|option-backslash\| about using backslashes to insert a space. 'commentstring'* 'cms' E537 'commentstring' 'cms' string (default "/%s/") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} A template for a comment. The "%s" in the value is replaced with the comment text. Currently only used to add markers for folding, see \|fold-marker\|. 'compatible' 'cp' 'nocompatible' 'nocp' 'compatible' 'cp' boolean (default on, off when a \|vimrc\| or \|gvimrc\| file is found, reset in \|defaults.vim\|) global This option has the effect of making Vim either more Vi-compatible, or make Vim behave in a more useful way. This is a special kind of option, because when it's set or reset, other options are also changed as a side effect. NOTE: Setting or resetting this option can have a lot of unexpected effects: Mappings are interpreted in another way, undo behaves differently, etc. If you set this option in your vimrc file, you should probably put it at the very start. By default this option is on and the Vi defaults are used for the options. This default was chosen for those people who want to use Vim just like Vi, and don't even (want to) know about the 'compatible' option. When a \|vimrc\| or \|gvimrc\| file is found while Vim is starting up, this option is switched off, and all options that have not been modified will be set to the Vim defaults. Effectively, this means that when a \|vimrc\| or \|gvimrc\| file exists, Vim will use the Vim defaults, otherwise it will use the Vi defaults. (Note: This doesn't happen for the system-wide vimrc or gvimrc file, nor for a file given with the \|-u\| argument). Also see \|compatible-default\| and \|posix-compliance\|. You can also set this option with the "-C" argument, and reset it with "-N". See \|-C\| and \|-N\|. See 'cpoptions' for more fine tuning of Vi compatibility. When this option is set, numerous other options are set to make Vim as Vi-compatible as possible. When this option is unset, various options are set to make Vim more useful. The table below lists all the options affected. The {?} column indicates when the options are affected: + Means that the option is set to the value given in {set value} when 'compatible' is set. & Means that the option is set to the value given in {set value} when 'compatible' is set AND is set to its Vim default value when 'compatible' is unset. - Means the option is NOT changed when setting 'compatible' but IS set to its Vim default when 'compatible' is unset. The {effect} column summarises the change when 'compatible' is set. option ? set value effect ~ 'allowrevins' + off no CTRL-_ command 'antialias' + off don't use antialiased fonts 'arabic' + off reset arabic-related options 'arabicshape' + on correct character shapes 'backspace' + "" normal backspace 'backup' + off no backup file 'backupcopy' & Unix: "yes" backup file is a copy else: "auto" copy or rename backup file 'balloonexpr' + "" text to show in evaluation balloon 'breakindent' + off don't indent when wrapping lines 'cedit' - {unchanged} {set vim default only on resetting 'cp'} 'cindent' + off no C code indentation 'compatible' - {unchanged} {set vim default only on resetting 'cp'} 'copyindent' + off don't copy indent structure 'cpoptions' & (all flags) Vi-compatible flags 'cscopepathcomp'+ 0 don't show directories in tags list 'cscoperelative'+ off don't use basename of path as prefix 'cscopetag' + off don't use cscope for ":tag" 'cscopetagorder'+ 0 see \|cscopetagorder\| 'cscopeverbose' + off see \|cscopeverbose\| 'delcombine' + off unicode: delete whole char combination 'digraph' + off no digraphs 'esckeys' & off no <Esc>-keys in Insert mode 'expandtab' + off tabs not expanded to spaces 'fileformats' & "" no automatic file format detection, "dos,unix" except for MS-Windows 'formatexpr' + "" use 'formatprg' for auto-formatting 'formatoptions' & "vt" Vi compatible formatting 'gdefault' + off no default 'g' flag for ":s" 'history' & 0 no commandline history 'hkmap' + off no Hebrew keyboard mapping 'hkmapp' + off no phonetic Hebrew keyboard mapping 'hlsearch' + off no highlighting of search matches 'incsearch' + off no incremental searching 'indentexpr' + "" no indenting by expression 'insertmode' + off do not start in Insert mode 'iskeyword' & "@,48-57,_" keywords contain alphanumeric characters and '_' 'joinspaces' + on insert 2 spaces after period 'modeline' & off no modelines 'more' & off no pauses in listings 'mzquantum' - {unchanged} {set vim default only on resetting 'cp'} 'numberwidth' & 8 min number of columns for line number 'preserveindent'+ off don't preserve current indent structure when changing it 'revins' + off no reverse insert 'ruler' + off no ruler 'scrolljump' + 1 no jump scroll 'scrolloff' + 0 no scroll offset 'shelltemp' - {unchanged} {set vim default only on resetting 'cp'} 'shiftround' + off indent not rounded to shiftwidth 'shortmess' & "S" no shortening of messages 'showcmd' & off command characters not shown 'showmode' & off current mode not shown 'sidescrolloff' + 0 cursor moves to edge of screen in scroll 'smartcase' + off no automatic ignore case switch 'smartindent' + off no smart indentation 'smarttab' + off no smart tab size 'softtabstop' + 0 tabs are always 'tabstop' positions 'startofline' + on goto startofline with some commands 'tagcase' & "followic" 'ignorecase' when searching tags file 'tagrelative' & off tag file names are not relative 'termguicolors' + off don't use highlight-(guifg\|guibg) 'textauto' & off no automatic textmode detection 'textwidth' + 0 no automatic line wrap 'tildeop' + off tilde is not an operator 'ttimeout' + off no terminal timeout 'undofile' + off don't use an undo file 'viminfo' - {unchanged} {set Vim default only on resetting 'cp'} 'virtualedit' + "" cursor can only be placed on characters 'whichwrap' & "" left-right movements don't wrap 'wildchar' & CTRL-E only when the current value is <Tab> use CTRL-E for cmdline completion 'writebackup' + on or off depends on the \|+writebackup\| feature 'complete' 'cpt' E535 'complete' 'cpt' string (default: ".,w,b,u,t,i") local to buffer This option specifies how keyword completion \|ins-completion\| works when CTRL-P or CTRL-N are used. It is also used for whole-line completion \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L\|. It indicates the type of completion and the places to scan. It is a comma separated list of flags: . scan the current buffer ('wrapscan' is ignored) w scan buffers from other windows b scan other loaded buffers that are in the buffer list u scan the unloaded buffers that are in the buffer list U scan the buffers that are not in the buffer list k scan the files given with the 'dictionary' option kspell use the currently active spell checking \|spell\| k{dict} scan the file {dict}. Several "k" flags can be given, patterns are valid too. For example: > :set cpt=k/usr/dict/,k~/spanish < s scan the files given with the 'thesaurus' option s{tsr} scan the file {tsr}. Several "s" flags can be given, patterns are valid too. i scan current and included files d scan current and included files for defined name or macro \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-D\| ] tag completion t same as "]" Unloaded buffers are not loaded, thus their autocmds \|:autocmd\| are not executed, this may lead to unexpected completions from some files (gzipped files for example). Unloaded buffers are not scanned for whole-line completion. The default is ".,w,b,u,t,i", which means to scan: 1. the current buffer 2. buffers in other windows 3. other loaded buffers 4. unloaded buffers 5. tags 6. included files As you can see, CTRL-N and CTRL-P can be used to do any 'iskeyword'- based expansion (e.g., dictionary \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K\|, included patterns \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-I\|, tags \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-]\| and normal expansions). 'completefunc'* 'cfu' 'completefunc' 'cfu' string (default: empty) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} This option specifies a function to be used for Insert mode completion with CTRL-X CTRL-U. \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U\| See \|complete-functions\| for an explanation of how the function is invoked and what it should return. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'completeslash' 'csl' 'completeslash' 'csl' string (default: "") local to buffer {only for MS-Windows} When this option is set it overrules 'shellslash' for completion: - When this option is set to "slash", a forward slash is used for path completion in insert mode. This is useful when editing HTML tag, or Makefile with 'noshellslash' on MS-Windows. - When this option is set to "backslash", backslash is used. This is useful when editing a batch file with 'shellslash' set on MS-Windows. - When this option is empty, same character is used as for 'shellslash'. For Insert mode completion the buffer-local value is used. For command line completion the global value is used. 'completeopt' 'cot' 'completeopt' 'cot' string (default: "menu,preview") global A comma separated list of options for Insert mode completion \|ins-completion\|. The supported values are: menu Use a popup menu to show the possible completions. The menu is only shown when there is more than one match and sufficient colors are available. \|ins-completion-menu\| menuone Use the popup menu also when there is only one match. Useful when there is additional information about the match, e.g., what file it comes from. longest Only insert the longest common text of the matches. If the menu is displayed you can use CTRL-L to add more characters. Whether case is ignored depends on the kind of completion. For buffer text the 'ignorecase' option is used. preview Show extra information about the currently selected completion in the preview window. Only works in combination with "menu" or "menuone". popup Show extra information about the currently selected completion in a popup window. Only works in combination with "menu" or "menuone". Overrides "preview". See \|'completepopup'\| for specifying properties. {only works when compiled with the \|+textprop\| feature} popuphidden Just like "popup" but initially hide the popup. Use a \|CompleteChanged\| autocommand to fetch the info and call \|popup_show()\| once the popup has been filled. See the example at \|complete-popuphidden\|. {only works when compiled with the \|+textprop\| feature} noinsert Do not insert any text for a match until the user selects a match from the menu. Only works in combination with "menu" or "menuone". No effect if "longest" is present. noselect Do not select a match in the menu, force the user to select one from the menu. Only works in combination with "menu" or "menuone". 'completepopup' 'cpp' 'completepopup' 'cpp' string (default empty) global {not available when compiled without the \|+textprop\| or \|+quickfix\| feature} When 'completeopt' contains "popup" then this option is used for the properties of the info popup when it is created. If an info popup window already exists it is closed, so that the option value is applied when it is created again. You can also use \|popup_findinfo()\| and then set properties for an existing info popup with \|popup_setoptions()\|. See \|complete-popup\|. 'concealcursor' 'cocu' 'concealcursor' 'cocu' string (default: "") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+conceal\| feature} Sets the modes in which text in the cursor line can also be concealed. When the current mode is listed then concealing happens just like in other lines. n Normal mode v Visual mode i Insert mode c Command line editing, for 'incsearch' 'v' applies to all lines in the Visual area, not only the cursor. A useful value is "nc". This is used in help files. So long as you are moving around text is concealed, but when starting to insert text or selecting a Visual area the concealed text is displayed, so that you can see what you are doing. Keep in mind that the cursor position is not always where it's displayed. E.g., when moving vertically it may change column. 'conceallevel' 'cole' 'conceallevel' 'cole' number (default 0) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+conceal\| feature} Determine how text with the "conceal" syntax attribute \|:syn-conceal\| is shown: Value Effect ~ 0 Text is shown normally 1 Each block of concealed text is replaced with one character. If the syntax item does not have a custom replacement character defined (see \|:syn-cchar\|) the character defined in 'listchars' is used (default is a space). It is highlighted with the "Conceal" highlight group. 2 Concealed text is completely hidden unless it has a custom replacement character defined (see \|:syn-cchar\|). 3 Concealed text is completely hidden. Note: in the cursor line concealed text is not hidden, so that you can edit and copy the text. This can be changed with the 'concealcursor' option. 'confirm' 'cf' 'noconfirm' 'nocf' 'confirm' 'cf' boolean (default off) global When 'confirm' is on, certain operations that would normally fail because of unsaved changes to a buffer, e.g. ":q" and ":e", instead raise a \|dialog\| asking if you wish to save the current file(s). You can still use a ! to unconditionally \|abandon\| a buffer. If 'confirm' is off you can still activate confirmation for one command only (this is most useful in mappings) with the \|:confirm\| command. Also see the \|confirm()\| function and the 'v' flag in 'guioptions'. 'conskey' 'consk' 'noconskey' 'noconsk' 'conskey' 'consk' boolean (default off) global This was for MS-DOS and is no longer supported. 'copyindent' 'ci' 'nocopyindent' 'noci' 'copyindent' 'ci' boolean (default off) local to buffer Copy the structure of the existing lines indent when autoindenting a new line. Normally the new indent is reconstructed by a series of tabs followed by spaces as required (unless \|'expandtab'\| is enabled, in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option makes the new line copy whatever characters were used for indenting on the existing line. 'expandtab' has no effect on these characters, a Tab remains a Tab. If the new indent is greater than on the existing line, the remaining space is filled in the normal manner. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. Also see 'preserveindent'. 'cpoptions' 'cpo' cpo 'cpoptions' 'cpo' string (Vim default: "aABceFs", Vi default: all flags) global A sequence of single character flags. When a character is present this indicates Vi-compatible behavior. This is used for things where not being Vi-compatible is mostly or sometimes preferred. 'cpoptions' stands for "compatible-options". Commas can be added for readability. To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" \|add-option-flags\|. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. NOTE: This option is set to the POSIX default value at startup when the Vi default value would be used and the $VIM_POSIX environment variable exists \|posix\|. This means Vim tries to behave like the POSIX specification. contains behavior ~ cpo-a a When included, a ":read" command with a file name argument will set the alternate file name for the current window. cpo-A A When included, a ":write" command with a file name argument will set the alternate file name for the current window. cpo-b b "\\|" in a ":map" command is recognized as the end of the map command. The '\' is included in the mapping, the text after the '\|' is interpreted as the next command. Use a CTRL-V instead of a backslash to include the '\|' in the mapping. Applies to all mapping, abbreviation, menu and autocmd commands. See also \|map_bar\|. cpo-B B A backslash has no special meaning in mappings, abbreviations, user commands and the "to" part of the menu commands. Remove this flag to be able to use a backslash like a CTRL-V. For example, the command ":map X \<Esc>" results in X being mapped to: 'B' included: "\^[" (^[ is a real <Esc>) 'B' excluded: "<Esc>" (5 characters) ('<' excluded in both cases) cpo-c c Searching continues at the end of any match at the cursor position, but not further than the start of the next line. When not present searching continues one character from the cursor position. With 'c' "abababababab" only gets three matches when repeating "/abab", without 'c' there are five matches. cpo-C C Do not concatenate sourced lines that start with a backslash. See \|line-continuation\|. cpo-d d Using "./" in the 'tags' option doesn't mean to use the tags file relative to the current file, but the tags file in the current directory. cpo-D D Can't use CTRL-K to enter a digraph after Normal mode commands with a character argument, like \|r\|, \|f\| and \|t\|. cpo-e e When executing a register with ":@r", always add a <CR> to the last line, also when the register is not linewise. If this flag is not present, the register is not linewise and the last line does not end in a <CR>, then the last line is put on the command-line and can be edited before hitting <CR>. cpo-E E It is an error when using "y", "d", "c", "g~", "gu" or "gU" on an Empty region. The operators only work when at least one character is to be operated on. Example: This makes "y0" fail in the first column. cpo-f f When included, a ":read" command with a file name argument will set the file name for the current buffer, if the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet. cpo-F F When included, a ":write" command with a file name argument will set the file name for the current buffer, if the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet. Also see \|cpo-P\|. cpo-g g Goto line 1 when using ":edit" without argument. cpo-H H When using "I" on a line with only blanks, insert before the last blank. Without this flag insert after the last blank. cpo-i i When included, interrupting the reading of a file will leave it modified. cpo-I I When moving the cursor up or down just after inserting indent for 'autoindent', do not delete the indent. cpo-j j When joining lines, only add two spaces after a '.', not after '!' or '?'. Also see 'joinspaces'. cpo-J J A \|sentence\| has to be followed by two spaces after the '.', '!' or '?'. A <Tab> is not recognized as white space. cpo-k k Disable the recognition of raw key codes in mappings, abbreviations, and the "to" part of menu commands. For example, if <Key> sends ^[OA (where ^[ is <Esc>), the command ":map X ^[OA" results in X being mapped to: 'k' included: "^[OA" (3 characters) 'k' excluded: "<Key>" (one key code) Also see the '<' flag below. cpo-K K Don't wait for a key code to complete when it is halfway a mapping. This breaks mapping <F1><F1> when only part of the second <F1> has been read. It enables cancelling the mapping by typing <F1><Esc>. cpo-l l Backslash in a [] range in a search pattern is taken literally, only "\]", "\^", "\-" and "\\" are special. See \|/[]\| 'l' included: "/[ \t]" finds <Space>, '\' and 't' 'l' excluded: "/[ \t]" finds <Space> and <Tab> Also see \|cpo-\\|. cpo-L L When the 'list' option is set, 'wrapmargin', 'textwidth', 'softtabstop' and Virtual Replace mode (see \|gR\|) count a <Tab> as two characters, instead of the normal behavior of a <Tab>. cpo-m m When included, a showmatch will always wait half a second. When not included, a showmatch will wait half a second or until a character is typed. \|'showmatch'\| cpo-M M When excluded, "%" matching will take backslashes into account. Thus in "( $ )" and "\( ( $" the outer parenthesis match. When included "%" ignores backslashes, which is Vi compatible. cpo-n n When included, the column used for 'number' and 'relativenumber' will also be used for text of wrapped lines. cpo-o o Line offset to search command is not remembered for next search. cpo-O O Don't complain if a file is being overwritten, even when it didn't exist when editing it. This is a protection against a file unexpectedly created by someone else. Vi didn't complain about this. cpo-p p Vi compatible Lisp indenting. When not present, a slightly better algorithm is used. cpo-P P When included, a ":write" command that appends to a file will set the file name for the current buffer, if the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet and the 'F' flag is also included \|cpo-F\|. cpo-q q When joining multiple lines leave the cursor at the position where it would be when joining two lines. cpo-r r Redo ("." command) uses "/" to repeat a search command, instead of the actually used search string. cpo-R R Remove marks from filtered lines. Without this flag marks are kept like \|:keepmarks\| was used. cpo-s s Set buffer options when entering the buffer for the first time. This is like it is in Vim version 3.0. And it is the default. If not present the options are set when the buffer is created. cpo-S S Set buffer options always when entering a buffer (except 'readonly', 'fileformat', 'filetype' and 'syntax'). This is the (most) Vi compatible setting. The options are set to the values in the current buffer. When you change an option and go to another buffer, the value is copied. Effectively makes the buffer options global to all buffers. 's' 'S' copy buffer options no no when buffer created yes no when buffer first entered (default) X yes each time when buffer entered (vi comp.) cpo-t t Search pattern for the tag command is remembered for "n" command. Otherwise Vim only puts the pattern in the history for search pattern, but doesn't change the last used search pattern. cpo-u u Undo is Vi compatible. See \|undo-two-ways\|. cpo-v v Backspaced characters remain visible on the screen in Insert mode. Without this flag the characters are erased from the screen right away. With this flag the screen newly typed text overwrites backspaced characters. cpo-w w When using "cw" on a blank character, only change one character and not all blanks until the start of the next word. cpo-W W Don't overwrite a readonly file. When omitted, ":w!" overwrites a readonly file, if possible. cpo-x x <Esc> on the command-line executes the command-line. The default in Vim is to abandon the command-line, because <Esc> normally aborts a command. \|c_<Esc>\| cpo-X X When using a count with "R" the replaced text is deleted only once. Also when repeating "R" with "." and a count. cpo-y y A yank command can be redone with ".". Think twice if you really want to use this, it may break some plugins, since most people expect "." to only repeat a change. cpo-Z Z When using "w!" while the 'readonly' option is set, don't reset 'readonly'. cpo-! ! When redoing a filter command, use the last used external command, whatever it was. Otherwise the last used -filter- command is used. cpo-$ $ When making a change to one line, don't redisplay the line, but put a '$' at the end of the changed text. The changed text will be overwritten when you type the new text. The line is redisplayed if you type any command that moves the cursor from the insertion point. cpo-% % Vi-compatible matching is done for the "%" command. Does not recognize "#if", "#endif", etc. Does not recognize "/" and "/". Parens inside single and double quotes are also counted, causing a string that contains a paren to disturb the matching. For example, in a line like "if (strcmp("foo(", s))" the first paren does not match the last one. When this flag is not included, parens inside single and double quotes are treated specially. When matching a paren outside of quotes, everything inside quotes is ignored. When matching a paren inside quotes, it will find the matching one (if there is one). This works very well for C programs. This flag is also used for other features, such as C-indenting. cpo-- - When included, a vertical movement command fails when it would go above the first line or below the last line. Without it the cursor moves to the first or last line, unless it already was in that line. Applies to the commands "-", "k", CTRL-P, "+", "j", CTRL-N, CTRL-J and ":1234". cpo-+ + When included, a ":write file" command will reset the 'modified' flag of the buffer, even though the buffer itself may still be different from its file. cpo-star * Use ":" in the same way as ":@". When not included, ":" is an alias for ":'<,'>", select the Visual area. cpo-< < Disable the recognition of special key codes in \|<>\| form in mappings, abbreviations, and the "to" part of menu commands. For example, the command ":map X <Tab>" results in X being mapped to: '<' included: "<Tab>" (5 characters) '<' excluded: "^I" (^I is a real <Tab>) Also see the 'k' flag above. cpo-> > When appending to a register, put a line break before the appended text. cpo-; ; When using \|,\| or \|;\| to repeat the last \|t\| search and the cursor is right in front of the searched character, the cursor won't move. When not included, the cursor would skip over it and jump to the following occurrence. POSIX flags. These are not included in the Vi default value, except when $VIM_POSIX was set on startup. \|posix\| contains behavior ~ cpo-# # A count before "D", "o" and "O" has no effect. cpo-& & When ":preserve" was used keep the swap file when exiting normally while this buffer is still loaded. This flag is tested when exiting. cpo-\ \ Backslash in a [] range in a search pattern is taken literally, only "\]" is special See \|/[]\| '\' included: "/[ \-]" finds <Space>, '\' and '-' '\' excluded: "/[ \-]" finds <Space> and '-' Also see \|cpo-l\|. cpo-/ / When "%" is used as the replacement string in a \|:s\| command, use the previous replacement string. \|:s%\| cpo-{ { The \|{\| and \|}\| commands also stop at a "{" character at the start of a line. cpo-. . The ":chdir" and ":cd" commands fail if the current buffer is modified, unless ! is used. Vim doesn't need this, since it remembers the full path of an opened file. cpo-bar \| The value of the $LINES and $COLUMNS environment variables overrule the terminal size values obtained with system specific functions. 'cryptmethod' 'cm' 'cryptmethod' 'cm' string (default "blowfish2") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| Method used for encryption when the buffer is written to a file: pkzip zip PkZip compatible method. A weak kind of encryption. Backwards compatible with Vim 7.2 and older. blowfish blowfish Blowfish method. Medium strong encryption but it has an implementation flaw. Requires Vim 7.3 or later, files can NOT be read by Vim 7.2 and older. This adds a "seed" to the file, every time you write the file the encrypted bytes will be different. blowfish2 blowfish2 Blowfish method. Medium strong encryption. Requires Vim 7.4.401 or later, files can NOT be read by Vim 7.3 and older. This adds a "seed" to the file, every time you write the file the encrypted bytes will be different. The whole undo file is encrypted, not just the pieces of text. You should use "blowfish2", also to re-encrypt older files. When reading an encrypted file 'cryptmethod' will be set automatically to the detected method of the file being read. Thus if you write it without changing 'cryptmethod' the same method will be used. Changing 'cryptmethod' does not mark the file as modified, you have to explicitly write it, you don't get a warning unless there are other modifications. Also see \|:X\|. When setting the global value to an empty string, it will end up with the value "blowfish2". When setting the local value to an empty string the buffer will use the global value. When a new encryption method is added in a later version of Vim, and the current version does not recognize it, you will get E821 . You need to edit this file with the later version of Vim. 'cscopepathcomp' 'cspc' 'cscopepathcomp' 'cspc' number (default 0) global {not available when compiled without the \|+cscope\| feature} Determines how many components of the path to show in a list of tags. See \|cscopepathcomp\|. NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. 'cscopeprg' 'csprg' 'cscopeprg' 'csprg' string (default "cscope") global {not available when compiled without the \|+cscope\| feature} Specifies the command to execute cscope. See \|cscopeprg\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'cscopequickfix' 'csqf' 'cscopequickfix' 'csqf' string (default "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+cscope\| or \|+quickfix\| features} Specifies whether to use quickfix window to show cscope results. See \|cscopequickfix\|. 'cscoperelative' 'csre' 'nocscoperelative' 'nocsre' 'cscoperelative' 'csre' boolean (default off) global {not available when compiled without the \|+cscope\| feature} In the absence of a prefix (-P) for cscope. setting this option enables to use the basename of cscope.out path as the prefix. See \|cscoperelative\|. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'cscopetag' 'cst' 'nocscopetag' 'nocst' 'cscopetag' 'cst' boolean (default off) global {not available when compiled without the \|+cscope\| feature} Use cscope for tag commands. See \|cscope-options\|. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'cscopetagorder' 'csto' 'cscopetagorder' 'csto' number (default 0) global {not available when compiled without the \|+cscope\| feature} Determines the order in which ":cstag" performs a search. See \|cscopetagorder\|. NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. 'cscopeverbose' 'csverb' 'nocscopeverbose' 'nocsverb' 'cscopeverbose' 'csverb' boolean (default off) global {not available when compiled without the \|+cscope\| feature} Give messages when adding a cscope database. See \|cscopeverbose\|. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'cursorbind' 'crb' 'nocursorbind' 'nocrb' 'cursorbind' 'crb' boolean (default off) local to window When this option is set, as the cursor in the current window moves other cursorbound windows (windows that also have this option set) move their cursors to the corresponding line and column. This option is useful for viewing the differences between two versions of a file (see 'diff'); in diff mode, inserted and deleted lines (though not characters within a line) are taken into account. 'cursorcolumn' 'cuc' 'nocursorcolumn' 'nocuc' 'cursorcolumn' 'cuc' boolean (default off) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} Highlight the screen column of the cursor with CursorColumn \|hl-CursorColumn\|. Useful to align text. Will make screen redrawing slower. If you only want the highlighting in the current window you can use these autocommands: > au WinLeave * set nocursorline nocursorcolumn au WinEnter * set cursorline cursorcolumn < 'cursorline' 'cul' 'nocursorline' 'nocul' 'cursorline' 'cul' boolean (default off) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} Highlight the text line of the cursor with CursorLine \|hl-CursorLine\|. Useful to easily spot the cursor. Will make screen redrawing slower. When Visual mode is active the highlighting isn't used to make it easier to see the selected text. 'cursorlineopt' 'culopt' 'cursorlineopt' 'culopt' string (default: "number,line") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} Comma separated list of settings for how 'cursorline' is displayed. Valid values: "line" Highlight the text line of the cursor with CursorLine \|hl-CursorLine\|. "screenline" Highlight only the screen line of the cursor with CursorLine \|hl-CursorLine\|. "number" Highlight the line number of the cursor with CursorLineNr \|hl-CursorLineNr\|. Special value: "both" Alias for the values "line,number". "line" and "screenline" cannot be used together. 'debug' 'debug' string (default "") global These values can be used: msg Error messages that would otherwise be omitted will be given anyway. throw Error messages that would otherwise be omitted will be given anyway and also throw an exception and set \|v:errmsg\|. beep A message will be given when otherwise only a beep would be produced. The values can be combined, separated by a comma. "msg" and "throw" are useful for debugging 'foldexpr', 'formatexpr' or 'indentexpr'. 'define' 'def' 'define' 'def' string (default "^\s#\sdefine") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| Pattern to be used to find a macro definition. It is a search pattern, just like for the "/" command. This option is used for the commands like "[i" and "[d" \|include-search\|. The 'isident' option is used to recognize the defined name after the match: {match with 'define'}{non-ID chars}{defined name}{non-ID char} See \|option-backslash\| about inserting backslashes to include a space or backslash. The default value is for C programs. For C++ this value would be useful, to include const type declarations: > ^$#\sdefine\\|[a-z]\sconst\s[a-z]$ < You can also use "\ze" just before the name and continue the pattern to check what is following. E.g. for Javascript, if a function is defined with "func_name = function(args)": > ^\s\ze\i\+\s=\sfunction( < If the function is defined with "func_name : function() {...": > ^\s\ze\i\+\s[:]\s(function\s( < When using the ":set" command, you need to double the backslashes! To avoid that use `:let` with a single quote string: > let &l:define = '^\s\ze\k\+\s=\sfunction(' < 'delcombine' 'deco' 'nodelcombine' 'nodeco' 'delcombine' 'deco' boolean (default off) global If editing Unicode and this option is set, backspace and Normal mode "x" delete each combining character on its own. When it is off (the default) the character along with its combining characters are deleted. Note: When 'delcombine' is set "xx" may work differently from "2x"! This is useful for Arabic, Hebrew and many other languages where one may have combining characters overtop of base characters, and want to remove only the combining ones. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'dictionary' 'dict' 'dictionary' 'dict' string (default "") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| List of file names, separated by commas, that are used to lookup words for keyword completion commands \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K\|. Each file should contain a list of words. This can be one word per line, or several words per line, separated by non-keyword characters (white space is preferred). Maximum line length is 510 bytes. When this option is empty or an entry "spell" is present, and spell checking is enabled, words in the word lists for the currently active 'spelllang' are used. See \|spell\|. To include a comma in a file name precede it with a backslash. Spaces after a comma are ignored, otherwise spaces are included in the file name. See \|option-backslash\| about using backslashes. This has nothing to do with the \|Dictionary\| variable type. Where to find a list of words? - On FreeBSD, there is the file "/usr/share/dict/words". - In the Simtel archive, look in the "msdos/linguist" directory. - In "miscfiles" of the GNU collection. The use of \|:set+=\| and \|:set-=\| is preferred when adding or removing directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version uses another default. Backticks cannot be used in this option for security reasons. 'diff' 'nodiff' 'diff' boolean (default off) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+diff\| feature} Join the current window in the group of windows that shows differences between files. See \|vimdiff\|. 'dex' 'diffexpr' 'diffexpr' 'dex' string (default "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+diff\| feature} Expression which is evaluated to obtain a diff file (either ed-style or unified-style) from two versions of a file. See \|diff-diffexpr\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'dip' 'diffopt' 'diffopt' 'dip' string (default "internal,filler,closeoff") global {not available when compiled without the \|+diff\| feature} Option settings for diff mode. It can consist of the following items. All are optional. Items must be separated by a comma. filler Show filler lines, to keep the text synchronized with a window that has inserted lines at the same position. Mostly useful when windows are side-by-side and 'scrollbind' is set. context:{n} Use a context of {n} lines between a change and a fold that contains unchanged lines. When omitted a context of six lines is used. When using zero the context is actually one, since folds require a line in between, also for a deleted line. See \|fold-diff\|. iblank Ignore changes where lines are all blank. Adds the "-B" flag to the "diff" command if 'diffexpr' is empty. Check the documentation of the "diff" command for what this does exactly. NOTE: the diff windows will get out of sync, because no differences between blank lines are taken into account. icase Ignore changes in case of text. "a" and "A" are considered the same. Adds the "-i" flag to the "diff" command if 'diffexpr' is empty. iwhite Ignore changes in amount of white space. Adds the "-b" flag to the "diff" command if 'diffexpr' is empty. Check the documentation of the "diff" command for what this does exactly. It should ignore adding trailing white space, but not leading white space. iwhiteall Ignore all white space changes. Adds the "-w" flag to the "diff" command if 'diffexpr' is empty. Check the documentation of the "diff" command for what this does exactly. iwhiteeol Ignore white space changes at end of line. Adds the "-Z" flag to the "diff" command if 'diffexpr' is empty. Check the documentation of the "diff" command for what this does exactly. horizontal Start diff mode with horizontal splits (unless explicitly specified otherwise). vertical Start diff mode with vertical splits (unless explicitly specified otherwise). closeoff When a window is closed where 'diff' is set and there is only one window remaining in the same tab page with 'diff' set, execute `:diffoff` in that window. This undoes a `:diffsplit` command. hiddenoff Do not use diff mode for a buffer when it becomes hidden. foldcolumn:{n} Set the 'foldcolumn' option to {n} when starting diff mode. Without this 2 is used. followwrap Follow the 'wrap' option and leave as it is. internal Use the internal diff library. This is ignored when 'diffexpr' is set. E960 When running out of memory when writing a buffer this item will be ignored for diffs involving that buffer. Set the 'verbose' option to see when this happens. indent-heuristic Use the indent heuristic for the internal diff library. algorithm:{text} Use the specified diff algorithm with the internal diff engine. Currently supported algorithms are: myers the default algorithm minimal spend extra time to generate the smallest possible diff patience patience diff algorithm histogram histogram diff algorithm Examples: > :set diffopt=internal,filler,context:4 :set diffopt= :set diffopt=internal,filler,foldcolumn:3 :set diffopt-=internal " do NOT use the internal diff parser < 'digraph' 'dg' 'nodigraph' 'nodg' 'digraph' 'dg' boolean (default off) global {not available when compiled without the \|+digraphs\| feature} Enable the entering of digraphs in Insert mode with {char1} <BS> {char2}. See \|digraphs\|. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'directory' 'dir' 'directory' 'dir' string (default for Amiga: ".,t:", for Win32: ".,$TEMP,c:\tmp,c:\temp" for Unix: ".,~/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp") global List of directory names for the swap file, separated with commas. Recommended value: ".,~/vimswap//" - this will put the swap file next to the edited file if possible, and in your personal swap directory otherwise. Make sure "~/vimswap//" is only readable for you. Possible items: - The swap file will be created in the first directory where this is possible. - Empty means that no swap file will be used (recovery is impossible!) and no \|E303\| error will be given. - A directory "." means to put the swap file in the same directory as the edited file. On Unix, a dot is prepended to the file name, so it doesn't show in a directory listing. On MS-Windows the "hidden" attribute is set and a dot prepended if possible. - A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-Windows) means to put the swap file relative to where the edited file is. The leading "." is replaced with the path name of the edited file. - For Unix and Win32, if a directory ends in two path separators "//", the swap file name will be built from the complete path to the file with all path separators replaced by percent '%' signs (including the colon following the drive letter on Win32). This will ensure file name uniqueness in the preserve directory. On Win32, it is also possible to end with "\\". However, When a separating comma is following, you must use "//", since "\\" will include the comma in the file name. Therefore it is recommended to use '//', instead of '\\'. - Spaces after the comma are ignored, other spaces are considered part of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory name, precede it with a backslash. - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash. - A directory name may end in an ':' or '/'. - Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. - Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to get one in the option (see \|option-backslash\|), for example: > :set dir=c:\\tmp,\ dir\\,with\\,commas,\\\ dir\ with\ spaces < - For backwards compatibility with Vim version 3.0 a '>' at the start of the option is removed. Using "." first in the list is recommended. This means that editing the same file twice will result in a warning. Using "/tmp" on Unix is discouraged: When the system crashes you lose the swap file. "/var/tmp" is often not cleared when rebooting, thus is a better choice than "/tmp". But others on the computer may be able to see the files, and it can contain a lot of files, your swap files get lost in the crowd. That is why a "tmp" directory in your home directory is tried first. The use of \|:set+=\| and \|:set-=\| is preferred when adding or removing directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version uses another default. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'display' 'dy' 'display' 'dy' string (default "", set to "truncate" in \|defaults.vim\|) global Change the way text is displayed. This is comma separated list of flags: lastline When included, as much as possible of the last line in a window will be displayed. "@@@" is put in the last columns of the last screen line to indicate the rest of the line is not displayed. truncate Like "lastline", but "@@@" is displayed in the first column of the last screen line. Overrules "lastline". uhex Show unprintable characters hexadecimal as <xx> instead of using ^C and ~C. When neither "lastline" nor "truncate" is included, a last line that doesn't fit is replaced with "@" lines. 'eadirection' 'ead' 'eadirection' 'ead' string (default "both") global Tells when the 'equalalways' option applies: ver vertically, width of windows is not affected hor horizontally, height of windows is not affected both width and height of windows is affected 'ed' 'edcompatible' 'noed' 'noedcompatible' 'edcompatible' 'ed' boolean (default off) global Makes the 'g' and 'c' flags of the ":substitute" command to be toggled each time the flag is given. See \|complex-change\|. See also 'gdefault' option. Switching this option on may break plugins! This option is not used in \|Vim9\| script. 'emoji' 'emo' 'noemoji' 'noemo' 'emoji' 'emo' boolean (default: on) global When on all Unicode emoji characters are considered to be full width. This excludes "text emoji" characters, which are normally displayed as single width. Unfortunately there is no good specification for this and it has been determined on trial-and-error basis. Use the \|setcellwidths()\| function to change the behavior. 'encoding' 'enc' E543 'encoding' 'enc' string (default: "latin1" or value from $LANG) global Sets the character encoding used inside Vim. It applies to text in the buffers, registers, Strings in expressions, text stored in the viminfo file, etc. It sets the kind of characters which Vim can work with. See \|encoding-names\| for the possible values. NOTE: Changing this option will not change the encoding of the existing text in Vim. It may cause non-ASCII text to become invalid. It should normally be kept at its default value, or set when Vim starts up. See \|multibyte\|. To reload the menus see \|:menutrans\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\|. It would most likely corrupt the text. NOTE: For GTK+ 2 or later, it is highly recommended to set 'encoding' to "utf-8". Although care has been taken to allow different values of 'encoding', "utf-8" is the natural choice for the environment and avoids unnecessary conversion overhead. "utf-8" has not been made the default to prevent different behavior of the GUI and terminal versions, and to avoid changing the encoding of newly created files without your knowledge (in case 'fileencodings' is empty). The character encoding of files can be different from 'encoding'. This is specified with 'fileencoding'. The conversion is done with iconv() or as specified with 'charconvert'. If you need to know whether 'encoding' is a multibyte encoding, you can use: > if has("multi_byte_encoding") < Normally 'encoding' will be equal to your current locale. This will be the default if Vim recognizes your environment settings. If 'encoding' is not set to the current locale, 'termencoding' must be set to convert typed and displayed text. See \|encoding-table\|. When you set this option, it fires the \|EncodingChanged\| autocommand event so that you can set up fonts if necessary. When the option is set, the value is converted to lowercase. Thus you can set it with uppercase values too. Underscores are translated to '-' signs. When the encoding is recognized, it is changed to the standard name. For example "Latin-1" becomes "latin1", "ISO_88592" becomes "iso-8859-2" and "utf8" becomes "utf-8". Note: "latin1" is also used when the encoding could not be detected. This only works when editing files in the same encoding! When the actual character set is not latin1, make sure 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings' are empty. When conversion is needed, switch to using utf-8. When "unicode", "ucs-2" or "ucs-4" is used, Vim internally uses utf-8. You don't notice this while editing, but it does matter for the \|viminfo-file\|. And Vim expects the terminal to use utf-8 too. Thus setting 'encoding' to one of these values instead of utf-8 only has effect for encoding used for files when 'fileencoding' is empty. When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, and 'fileencodings' was not set yet, the default for 'fileencodings' is changed. 'endofline' 'eol' 'noendofline' 'noeol' 'endofline' 'eol' boolean (default on) local to buffer When writing a file and this option is off and the 'binary' option is on, or 'fixeol' option is off, no <EOL> will be written for the last line in the file. This option is automatically set or reset when starting to edit a new file, depending on whether file has an <EOL> for the last line in the file. Normally you don't have to set or reset this option. When 'binary' is off and 'fixeol' is on the value is not used when writing the file. When 'binary' is on or 'fixeol' is off it is used to remember the presence of a <EOL> for the last line in the file, so that when you write the file the situation from the original file can be kept. But you can change it if you want to. 'equalalways' 'ea' 'noequalalways' 'noea' 'equalalways' 'ea' boolean (default on) global When on, all the windows are automatically made the same size after splitting or closing a window. This also happens the moment the option is switched on. When off, splitting a window will reduce the size of the current window and leave the other windows the same. When closing a window the extra lines are given to the window next to it (depending on 'splitbelow' and 'splitright'). When mixing vertically and horizontally split windows, a minimal size is computed and some windows may be larger if there is room. The 'eadirection' option tells in which direction the size is affected. Changing the height and width of a window can be avoided by setting 'winfixheight' and 'winfixwidth', respectively. If a window size is specified when creating a new window sizes are currently not equalized (it's complicated, but may be implemented in the future). 'equalprg' 'ep' 'equalprg' 'ep' string (default "") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| External program to use for "=" command. When this option is empty the internal formatting functions are used; either 'lisp', 'cindent' or 'indentexpr'. When Vim was compiled without internal formatting, the "indent" program is used. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'errorbells' 'eb' 'noerrorbells' 'noeb' 'errorbells' 'eb' boolean (default off) global Ring the bell (beep or screen flash) for error messages. This only makes a difference for error messages, the bell will be used always for a lot of errors without a message (e.g., hitting <Esc> in Normal mode). See 'visualbell' on how to make the bell behave like a beep, screen flash or do nothing. See 'belloff' to finetune when to ring the bell. 'errorfile' 'ef' 'errorfile' 'ef' string (Amiga default: "AztecC.Err", others: "errors.err") global {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} Name of the errorfile for the QuickFix mode (see \|:cf\|). When the "-q" command-line argument is used, 'errorfile' is set to the following argument. See \|-q\|. NOT used for the ":make" command. See 'makeef' for that. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'errorformat' 'efm' 'errorformat' 'efm' string (default is very long) global or local to buffer \|global-local\| {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} Scanf-like description of the format for the lines in the error file (see \|errorformat\|). 'esckeys' 'ek' 'noesckeys' 'noek' 'esckeys' 'ek' boolean (Vim default: on, Vi default: off) global Function keys that start with an <Esc> are recognized in Insert mode. When this option is off, the cursor and function keys cannot be used in Insert mode if they start with an <Esc>. The advantage of this is that the single <Esc> is recognized immediately, instead of after one second. Instead of resetting this option, you might want to try changing the values for 'timeoutlen' and 'ttimeoutlen'. Note that when 'esckeys' is off, you can still map anything, but the cursor keys won't work by default. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. NOTE: when this option is off then the \|modifyOtherKeys\| functionality is disabled while in Insert mode to avoid ending Insert mode with any key that has a modifier. 'eventignore' 'ei' 'eventignore' 'ei' string (default "") global A list of autocommand event names, which are to be ignored. When set to "all" or when "all" is one of the items, all autocommand events are ignored, autocommands will not be executed. Otherwise this is a comma separated list of event names. Example: > :set ei=WinEnter,WinLeave < 'expandtab' 'et' 'noexpandtab' 'noet' 'expandtab' 'et' boolean (default off) local to buffer In Insert mode: Use the appropriate number of spaces to insert a <Tab>. Spaces are used in indents with the '>' and '<' commands and when 'autoindent' is on. To insert a real tab when 'expandtab' is on, use CTRL-V<Tab>. See also \|:retab\| and \|ins-expandtab\|. This option is reset when the 'paste' option is set and restored when the 'paste' option is reset. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'exrc' 'ex' 'noexrc' 'noex' 'exrc' 'ex' boolean (default off) global Enables the reading of .vimrc, .exrc and .gvimrc in the current directory. Setting this option is a potential security leak. E.g., consider unpacking a package or fetching files from github, a .vimrc in there might be a trojan horse. BETTER NOT SET THIS OPTION! Instead, define an autocommand in your .vimrc to set options for a matching directory. If you do switch this option on you should also consider setting the 'secure' option (see \|initialization\|). Also see \|.vimrc\| and \|gui-init\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'fileencoding' 'fenc' E213 'fileencoding' 'fenc' string (default: "") local to buffer Sets the character encoding for the file of this buffer. When 'fileencoding' is different from 'encoding', conversion will be done when writing the file. For reading see below. When 'fileencoding' is empty, the same value as 'encoding' will be used (no conversion when reading or writing a file). No error will be given when the value is set, only when it is used, only when writing a file. Conversion will also be done when 'encoding' and 'fileencoding' are both a Unicode encoding and 'fileencoding' is not utf-8. That's because internally Unicode is always stored as utf-8. WARNING: Conversion can cause loss of information! When 'encoding' is "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding, conversion is most likely done in a way that the reverse conversion results in the same text. When 'encoding' is not "utf-8" some characters may be lost! See 'encoding' for the possible values. Additionally, values may be specified that can be handled by the converter, see \|mbyte-conversion\|. When reading a file 'fileencoding' will be set from 'fileencodings'. To read a file in a certain encoding it won't work by setting 'fileencoding', use the \|++enc\| argument. One exception: when 'fileencodings' is empty the value of 'fileencoding' is used. For a new file the global value of 'fileencoding' is used. Prepending "8bit-" and "2byte-" has no meaning here, they are ignored. When the option is set, the value is converted to lowercase. Thus you can set it with uppercase values too. '_' characters are replaced with '-'. If a name is recognized from the list for 'encoding', it is replaced by the standard name. For example "ISO8859-2" becomes "iso-8859-2". When this option is set, after starting to edit a file, the 'modified' option is set, because the file would be different when written. Keep in mind that changing 'fenc' from a modeline happens AFTER the text has been read, thus it applies to when the file will be written. If you do set 'fenc' in a modeline, you might want to set 'nomodified' to avoid not being able to ":q". This option can not be changed when 'modifiable' is off. 'fe' NOTE: Before version 6.0 this option specified the encoding for the whole of Vim, this was a mistake. Now use 'encoding' instead. The old short name was 'fe', which is no longer used. 'fileencodings' 'fencs' 'fileencodings' 'fencs' string (default: "ucs-bom", "ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1" when 'encoding' is set to a Unicode value) global This is a list of character encodings considered when starting to edit an existing file. When a file is read, Vim tries to use the first mentioned character encoding. If an error is detected, the next one in the list is tried. When an encoding is found that works, 'fileencoding' is set to it. If all fail, 'fileencoding' is set to an empty string, which means the value of 'encoding' is used. WARNING: Conversion can cause loss of information! When 'encoding' is "utf-8" (or one of the other Unicode variants) conversion is most likely done in a way that the reverse conversion results in the same text. When 'encoding' is not "utf-8" some non-ASCII characters may be lost! You can use the \|++bad\| argument to specify what is done with characters that can't be converted. For an empty file or a file with only ASCII characters most encodings will work and the first entry of 'fileencodings' will be used (except "ucs-bom", which requires the BOM to be present). If you prefer another encoding use an BufReadPost autocommand event to test if your preferred encoding is to be used. Example: > au BufReadPost * if search('\S', 'w') == 0 \| \ set fenc=iso-2022-jp \| endif < This sets 'fileencoding' to "iso-2022-jp" if the file does not contain non-blank characters. When the \|++enc\| argument is used then the value of 'fileencodings' is not used. Note that 'fileencodings' is not used for a new file, the global value of 'fileencoding' is used instead. You can set it with: > :setglobal fenc=iso-8859-2 < This means that a non-existing file may get a different encoding than an empty file. The special value "ucs-bom" can be used to check for a Unicode BOM (Byte Order Mark) at the start of the file. It must not be preceded by "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding for this to work properly. An entry for an 8-bit encoding (e.g., "latin1") should be the last, because Vim cannot detect an error, thus the encoding is always accepted. The special value "default" can be used for the encoding from the environment. This is the default value for 'encoding'. It is useful when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and your environment uses a non-latin1 encoding, such as Russian. When 'encoding' is "utf-8" and a file contains an illegal byte sequence it won't be recognized as UTF-8. You can use the \|8g8\| command to find the illegal byte sequence. WRONG VALUES: WHAT'S WRONG: latin1,utf-8 "latin1" will always be used utf-8,ucs-bom,latin1 BOM won't be recognized in an utf-8 file cp1250,latin1 "cp1250" will always be used If 'fileencodings' is empty, 'fileencoding' is not modified. See 'fileencoding' for the possible values. Setting this option does not have an effect until the next time a file is read. 'fileformat' 'ff' 'fileformat' 'ff' string (MS-Windows default: "dos", Unix, macOS default: "unix") local to buffer This gives the <EOL> of the current buffer, which is used for reading/writing the buffer from/to a file: dos <CR><NL> unix <NL> mac <CR> When "dos" is used, CTRL-Z at the end of a file is ignored. See \|file-formats\| and \|file-read\|. For the character encoding of the file see 'fileencoding'. When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformat' is ignored, file I/O works like it was set to "unix". This option is set automatically when starting to edit a file and 'fileformats' is not empty and 'binary' is off. When this option is set, after starting to edit a file, the 'modified' option is set, because the file would be different when written. This option can not be changed when 'modifiable' is off. For backwards compatibility: When this option is set to "dos", 'textmode' is set, otherwise 'textmode' is reset. 'fileformats' 'ffs' 'fileformats' 'ffs' string (default: Vim+Vi MS-Windows: "dos,unix", Vim Unix, macOS: "unix,dos", Vi Cygwin: "unix,dos", Vi others: "") global This gives the end-of-line (<EOL>) formats that will be tried when starting to edit a new buffer and when reading a file into an existing buffer: - When empty, the format defined with 'fileformat' will be used always. It is not set automatically. - When set to one name, that format will be used whenever a new buffer is opened. 'fileformat' is set accordingly for that buffer. The 'fileformats' name will be used when a file is read into an existing buffer, no matter what 'fileformat' for that buffer is set to. - When more than one name is present, separated by commas, automatic <EOL> detection will be done when reading a file. When starting to edit a file, a check is done for the <EOL>: 1. If all lines end in <CR><NL>, and 'fileformats' includes "dos", 'fileformat' is set to "dos". 2. If a <NL> is found and 'fileformats' includes "unix", 'fileformat' is set to "unix". Note that when a <NL> is found without a preceding <CR>, "unix" is preferred over "dos". 3. If 'fileformat' has not yet been set, and if a <CR> is found, and if 'fileformats' includes "mac", 'fileformat' is set to "mac". This means that "mac" is only chosen when: "unix" is not present or no <NL> is found in the file, and "dos" is not present or no <CR><NL> is found in the file. Except: if "unix" was chosen, but there is a <CR> before the first <NL>, and there appear to be more <CR>s than <NL>s in the first few lines, "mac" is used. 4. If 'fileformat' is still not set, the first name from 'fileformats' is used. When reading a file into an existing buffer, the same is done, but this happens like 'fileformat' has been set appropriately for that file only, the option is not changed. When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformats' is not used. When Vim starts up with an empty buffer the first item is used. You can overrule this by setting 'fileformat' in your .vimrc. For systems with a Dos-like <EOL> (<CR><NL>), when reading files that are ":source"ed and for vimrc files, automatic <EOL> detection may be done: - When 'fileformats' is empty, there is no automatic detection. Dos format will be used. - When 'fileformats' is set to one or more names, automatic detection is done. This is based on the first <NL> in the file: If there is a <CR> in front of it, Dos format is used, otherwise Unix format is used. Also see \|file-formats\|. For backwards compatibility: When this option is set to an empty string or one format (no comma is included), 'textauto' is reset, otherwise 'textauto' is set. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'fileignorecase' 'fic' 'nofileignorecase' 'nofic' 'fileignorecase' 'fic' boolean (default on for systems where case in file names is normally ignored) global When set case is ignored when using file names and directories. See 'wildignorecase' for only ignoring case when doing completion. 'filetype' 'ft' 'filetype' 'ft' string (default: "") local to buffer When this option is set, the FileType autocommand event is triggered. All autocommands that match with the value of this option will be executed. Thus the value of 'filetype' is used in place of the file name. Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current file type. This option is normally set when the file type is detected. To enable this use the ":filetype on" command. \|:filetype\| Setting this option to a different value is most useful in a modeline, for a file for which the file type is not automatically recognized. Example, for in an IDL file: /* vim: set filetype=idl : / ~ \|FileType\| \|filetypes\| When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype names. Example: / vim: set filetype=c.doxygen : / ~ This will use the "c" filetype first, then the "doxygen" filetype. This works both for filetype plugins and for syntax files. More than one dot may appear. This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or 'S' flag in 'cpoptions'. Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\?[\|<>" are illegal. 'fillchars' 'fcs' 'fillchars' 'fcs' string (default "vert:\|,fold:-,eob:~") global {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} Characters to fill the statuslines and vertical separators. It is a comma separated list of items: item default Used for ~ stl:c ' ' or '^' statusline of the current window stlnc:c ' ' or '=' statusline of the non-current windows vert:c '\|' vertical separators \|:vsplit\| fold:c '-' filling 'foldtext' foldopen:c '-' mark the beginning of a fold foldclose:c '+' show a closed fold foldsep:c '\|' open fold middle character diff:c '-' deleted lines of the 'diff' option eob:c '~' empty lines below the end of a buffer Any one that is omitted will fall back to the default. For "stl" and "stlnc" the space will be used when there is highlighting, '^' or '=' otherwise. Example: > :set fillchars=stl:^,stlnc:=,vert:\\|,fold:-,diff:- < This is similar to the default, except that these characters will also be used when there is highlighting. For "stl" and "stlnc" single-byte and multibyte characters are supported. But double-width characters are not supported. The highlighting used for these items: item highlight group ~ stl:c StatusLine \|hl-StatusLine\| stlnc:c StatusLineNC \|hl-StatusLineNC\| vert:c VertSplit \|hl-VertSplit\| fold:c Folded \|hl-Folded\| diff:c DiffDelete \|hl-DiffDelete\| eob:c EndOfBuffer \|hl-EndOfBuffer\| 'fixendofline' 'fixeol' 'nofixendofline' 'nofixeol' 'fixendofline' 'fixeol' boolean (default on) local to buffer When writing a file and this option is on, <EOL> at the end of file will be restored if missing. Turn this option off if you want to preserve the situation from the original file. When the 'binary' option is set the value of this option doesn't matter. See the 'endofline' option. 'fkmap' 'fk' 'nofkmap' 'nofk' 'fkmap' 'fk' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} This option was for using Farsi, which has been removed. See \|farsi.txt\|. 'foldclose' 'fcl' 'foldclose' 'fcl' string (default "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} When set to "all", a fold is closed when the cursor isn't in it and its level is higher than 'foldlevel'. Useful if you want folds to automatically close when moving out of them. 'foldcolumn' 'fdc' 'foldcolumn' 'fdc' number (default 0) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} When non-zero, a column with the specified width is shown at the side of the window which indicates open and closed folds. The maximum value is 12. See \|folding\|. 'foldenable' 'fen' 'nofoldenable' 'nofen' 'foldenable' 'fen' boolean (default on) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} When off, all folds are open. This option can be used to quickly switch between showing all text unfolded and viewing the text with folds (including manually opened or closed folds). It can be toggled with the \|zi\| command. The 'foldcolumn' will remain blank when 'foldenable' is off. This option is set by commands that create a new fold or close a fold. See \|folding\|. 'foldexpr' 'fde' 'foldexpr' 'fde' string (default: "0") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| or \|+eval\| features} The expression used for when 'foldmethod' is "expr". It is evaluated for each line to obtain its fold level. See \|fold-expr\|. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| if set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. This option can't be set from a \|modeline\| when the 'diff' option is on or the 'modelineexpr' option is off. It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while evaluating 'foldexpr' \|textlock\|. 'foldignore' 'fdi' 'foldignore' 'fdi' string (default: "#") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} Used only when 'foldmethod' is "indent". Lines starting with characters in 'foldignore' will get their fold level from surrounding lines. White space is skipped before checking for this character. The default "#" works well for C programs. See \|fold-indent\|. 'foldlevel' 'fdl' 'foldlevel' 'fdl' number (default: 0) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} Sets the fold level: Folds with a higher level will be closed. Setting this option to zero will close all folds. Higher numbers will close fewer folds. This option is set by commands like \|zm\|, \|zM\| and \|zR\|. See \|fold-foldlevel\|. 'foldlevelstart' 'fdls' 'foldlevelstart' 'fdls' number (default: -1) global {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} Sets 'foldlevel' when starting to edit another buffer in a window. Useful to always start editing with all folds closed (value zero), some folds closed (one) or no folds closed (99). This is done before reading any modeline, thus a setting in a modeline overrules this option. Starting to edit a file for \|diff-mode\| also ignores this option and closes all folds. It is also done before BufReadPre autocommands, to allow an autocmd to overrule the 'foldlevel' value for specific files. When the value is negative, it is not used. 'foldmarker' 'fmr' E536 'foldmarker' 'fmr' string (default: "{{{,}}}") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} The start and end marker used when 'foldmethod' is "marker". There must be one comma, which separates the start and end marker. The marker is a literal string (a regular expression would be too slow). See \|fold-marker\|. 'foldmethod' 'fdm' 'foldmethod' 'fdm' string (default: "manual") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} The kind of folding used for the current window. Possible values: \|fold-manual\| manual Folds are created manually. \|fold-indent\| indent Lines with equal indent form a fold. \|fold-expr\| expr 'foldexpr' gives the fold level of a line. \|fold-marker\| marker Markers are used to specify folds. \|fold-syntax\| syntax Syntax highlighting items specify folds. \|fold-diff\| diff Fold text that is not changed. 'foldminlines' 'fml' 'foldminlines' 'fml' number (default: 1) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} Sets the number of screen lines above which a fold can be displayed closed. Also for manually closed folds. With the default value of one a fold can only be closed if it takes up two or more screen lines. Set to zero to be able to close folds of just one screen line. Note that this only has an effect on what is displayed. After using "zc" to close a fold, which is displayed open because it's smaller than 'foldminlines', a following "zc" may close a containing fold. 'foldnestmax' 'fdn' 'foldnestmax' 'fdn' number (default: 20) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} Sets the maximum nesting of folds for the "indent" and "syntax" methods. This avoids that too many folds will be created. Using more than 20 doesn't work, because the internal limit is 20. 'foldopen' 'fdo' 'foldopen' 'fdo' string (default: "block,hor,mark,percent,quickfix, search,tag,undo") global {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} Specifies for which type of commands folds will be opened, if the command moves the cursor into a closed fold. It is a comma separated list of items. NOTE: When the command is part of a mapping this option is not used. Add the \|zv\| command to the mapping to get the same effect. (rationale: the mapping may want to control opening folds itself) item commands ~ all any block "(", "{", "[[", "[{", etc. hor horizontal movements: "l", "w", "fx", etc. insert any command in Insert mode jump far jumps: "G", "gg", etc. mark jumping to a mark: "'m", CTRL-O, etc. percent "%" quickfix ":cn", ":crew", ":make", etc. search search for a pattern: "/", "n", "", "gd", etc. (not for a search pattern in a ":" command) Also for \|[s\| and \|]s\|. tag jumping to a tag: ":ta", CTRL-T, etc. undo undo or redo: "u" and CTRL-R When a movement command is used for an operator (e.g., "dl" or "y%") this option is not used. This means the operator will include the whole closed fold. Note that vertical movements are not here, because it would make it very difficult to move onto a closed fold. In insert mode the folds containing the cursor will always be open when text is inserted. To close folds you can re-apply 'foldlevel' with the \|zx\| command or set the 'foldclose' option to "all". 'foldtext'* 'fdt' 'foldtext' 'fdt' string (default: "foldtext()") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+folding\| feature} An expression which is used to specify the text displayed for a closed fold. See \|fold-foldtext\|. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| if set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while evaluating 'foldtext' \|textlock\|. 'formatexpr' 'fex' 'formatexpr' 'fex' string (default "") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} Expression which is evaluated to format a range of lines for the \|gq\| operator or automatic formatting (see 'formatoptions'). When this option is empty 'formatprg' is used. The \|v:lnum\| variable holds the first line to be formatted. The \|v:count\| variable holds the number of lines to be formatted. The \|v:char\| variable holds the character that is going to be inserted if the expression is being evaluated due to automatic formatting. This can be empty. Don't insert it yet! Example: > :set formatexpr=mylang#Format() < This will invoke the mylang#Format() function in the autoload/mylang.vim file in 'runtimepath'. \|autoload\| The expression is also evaluated when 'textwidth' is set and adding text beyond that limit. This happens under the same conditions as when internal formatting is used. Make sure the cursor is kept in the same spot relative to the text then! The \|mode()\| function will return "i" or "R" in this situation. When the expression evaluates to non-zero Vim will fall back to using the internal format mechanism. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| when set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. That stops the option from working, since changing the buffer text is not allowed. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. NOTE: This option is set to "" when 'compatible' is set. 'formatlistpat' 'flp' 'formatlistpat' 'flp' string (default: "^\s\d\+[\]:.)}\t ]\s") local to buffer A pattern that is used to recognize a list header. This is used for the "n" flag in 'formatoptions'. The pattern must match exactly the text that will be the indent for the line below it. You can use \|/\ze\| to mark the end of the match while still checking more characters. There must be a character following the pattern, when it matches the whole line it is handled like there is no match. The default recognizes a number, followed by an optional punctuation character and white space. 'formatoptions' 'fo' 'formatoptions' 'fo' string (Vim default: "tcq", Vi default: "vt") local to buffer This is a sequence of letters which describes how automatic formatting is to be done. See \|fo-table\|. When the 'paste' option is on, no formatting is done (like 'formatoptions' is empty). Commas can be inserted for readability. To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" \|add-option-flags\|. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'formatprg' 'fp' 'formatprg' 'fp' string (default "") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| The name of an external program that will be used to format the lines selected with the \|gq\| operator. The program must take the input on stdin and produce the output on stdout. The Unix program "fmt" is such a program. If the 'formatexpr' option is not empty it will be used instead. Otherwise, if 'formatprg' option is an empty string, the internal format function will be used \|C-indenting\|. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'fsync' 'fs' 'nofsync' 'nofs' 'fsync' 'fs' boolean (default on) global When on, the library function fsync() will be called after writing a file. This will flush a file to disk, ensuring that it is safely written even on filesystems which do metadata-only journaling. This will force the harddrive to spin up on Linux systems running in laptop mode, so it may be undesirable in some situations. Be warned that turning this off increases the chances of data loss after a crash. On systems without an fsync() implementation, this variable is always off. Also see 'swapsync' for controlling fsync() on swap files. 'fsync' also applies to \|writefile()\|, unless a flag is used to overrule it. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'gdefault' 'gd' 'nogdefault' 'nogd' 'gdefault' 'gd' boolean (default off) global When on, the ":substitute" flag 'g' is default on. This means that all matches in a line are substituted instead of one. When a 'g' flag is given to a ":substitute" command, this will toggle the substitution of all or one match. See \|complex-change\|. command 'gdefault' on 'gdefault' off ~ :s/// subst. all subst. one :s///g subst. one subst. all :s///gg subst. all subst. one NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. DEPRECATED: Setting this option may break plugins that are not aware of this option. Also, many users get confused that adding the /g flag has the opposite effect of that it normally does. This option is not used in \|Vim9\| script. 'grepformat' 'gfm' 'grepformat' 'gfm' string (default "%f:%l:%m,%f:%l%m,%f %l%m") global Format to recognize for the ":grep" command output. This is a scanf-like string that uses the same format as the 'errorformat' option: see \|errorformat\|. 'grepprg' 'gp' 'grepprg' 'gp' string (default "grep -n ", Unix: "grep -n $* /dev/null", Win32: "findstr /n" or "grep -n", VMS: "SEARCH/NUMBERS ") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| Program to use for the \|:grep\| command. This option may contain '%' and '#' characters, which are expanded like when used in a command- line. The placeholder "$" is allowed to specify where the arguments will be included. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. When your "grep" accepts the "-H" argument, use this to make ":grep" also work well with a single file: > :set grepprg=grep\ -nH < Special value: When 'grepprg' is set to "internal" the \|:grep\| command works like \|:vimgrep\|, \|:lgrep\| like \|:lvimgrep\|, \|:grepadd\| like \|:vimgrepadd\| and \|:lgrepadd\| like \|:lvimgrepadd\|. See also the section \|:make_makeprg\|, since most of the comments there apply equally to 'grepprg'. For Win32, the default is "findstr /n" if "findstr.exe" can be found, otherwise it's "grep -n". This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'guicursor'* 'gcr' E545 E546 E548 E549 'guicursor' 'gcr' string (default "n-v-c:block-Cursor/lCursor, ve:ver35-Cursor, o:hor50-Cursor, i-ci:ver25-Cursor/lCursor, r-cr:hor20-Cursor/lCursor, sm:block-Cursor -blinkwait175-blinkoff150-blinkon175", for Win32 console: "n-v-c:block,o:hor50,i-ci:hor15, r-cr:hor30,sm:block") global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled, and for Win32 console} This option tells Vim what the cursor should look like in different modes. It fully works in the GUI. In a Win32 console, only the height of the cursor can be changed. This can be done by specifying a block cursor, or a percentage for a vertical or horizontal cursor. For a console the 't_SI', 't_SR', and 't_EI' escape sequences are used. The option is a comma separated list of parts. Each part consist of a mode-list and an argument-list: mode-list:argument-list,mode-list:argument-list,.. The mode-list is a dash separated list of these modes: n Normal mode v Visual mode ve Visual mode with 'selection' "exclusive" (same as 'v', if not specified) o Operator-pending mode i Insert mode r Replace mode c Command-line Normal (append) mode ci Command-line Insert mode cr Command-line Replace mode sm showmatch in Insert mode a all modes The argument-list is a dash separated list of these arguments: hor{N} horizontal bar, {N} percent of the character height ver{N} vertical bar, {N} percent of the character width block block cursor, fills the whole character [only one of the above three should be present] blinkwait{N} cursor-blinking blinkon{N} blinkoff{N} blink times for cursor: blinkwait is the delay before the cursor starts blinking, blinkon is the time that the cursor is shown and blinkoff is the time that the cursor is not shown. The times are in msec. When one of the numbers is zero, there is no blinking. The default is: "blinkwait700-blinkon400-blinkoff250". These numbers are used for a missing entry. This means that blinking is enabled by default. To switch blinking off you can use "blinkon0". The cursor only blinks when Vim is waiting for input, not while executing a command. To make the cursor blink in an xterm, see \|xterm-blink\|. {group-name} a highlight group name, that sets the color and font for the cursor {group-name}/{group-name} Two highlight group names, the first is used when no language mappings are used, the other when they are. \|language-mapping\| Examples of parts: n-c-v:block-nCursor in Normal, Command-line and Visual mode, use a block cursor with colors from the "nCursor" highlight group i-ci:ver30-iCursor-blinkwait300-blinkon200-blinkoff150 In Insert and Command-line Insert mode, use a 30% vertical bar cursor with colors from the "iCursor" highlight group. Blink a bit faster. The 'a' mode is different. It will set the given argument-list for all modes. It does not reset anything to defaults. This can be used to do a common setting for all modes. For example, to switch off blinking: "a:blinkon0" Examples of cursor highlighting: > :highlight Cursor gui=reverse guifg=NONE guibg=NONE :highlight Cursor gui=NONE guifg=bg guibg=fg < 'guifont' 'gfn' E235 E596 'guifont' 'gfn' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} This is a list of fonts which will be used for the GUI version of Vim. In its simplest form the value is just one font name. See \|gui-font\| for the details. 'guifontset' 'gfs' E250 E252 E234 E597 E598 'guifontset' 'gfs' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled and with the \|+xfontset\| feature} {not available in the GTK+ GUI} When not empty, specifies two (or more) fonts to be used. The first one for normal English, the second one for your special language. See \|xfontset\|. 'guifontwide' 'gfw' E231 E533 E534 'guifontwide' 'gfw' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} When not empty, specifies a comma-separated list of fonts to be used for double-width characters. The first font that can be loaded is used. See \|gui-fontwide\|. 'guiheadroom' 'ghr' 'guiheadroom' 'ghr' number (default 50) global {only for GTK and X11 GUI} The number of pixels subtracted from the screen height when fitting the GUI window on the screen. Set this before the GUI is started, e.g., in your \|gvimrc\| file. When zero, the whole screen height will be used by the window. When positive, the specified number of pixel lines will be left for window decorations and other items on the screen. Set it to a negative value to allow windows taller than the screen. 'guioptions' 'go' 'guioptions' 'go' string (default "egmrLtT" (MS-Windows, "t" is removed in \|defaults.vim\|), "aegimrLtT" (GTK, Motif and Athena), ) global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim. It is a sequence of letters which describes what components and options of the GUI should be used. To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" \|add-option-flags\|. Valid characters are as follows: 'go-!' '!' External commands are executed in a terminal window. Without this flag the MS-Windows GUI will open a console window to execute the command. The Unix GUI will simulate a dumb terminal to list the command output. The terminal window will be positioned at the bottom, and grow upwards as needed. 'go-a' 'a' Autoselect: If present, then whenever VISUAL mode is started, or the Visual area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of the windowing system's global selection. This means that the Visually highlighted text is available for pasting into other applications as well as into Vim itself. When the Visual mode ends, possibly due to an operation on the text, or when an application wants to paste the selection, the highlighted text is automatically yanked into the "* selection register. Thus the selection is still available for pasting into other applications after the VISUAL mode has ended. If not present, then Vim won't become the owner of the windowing system's global selection unless explicitly told to by a yank or delete operation for the "* register. The same applies to the modeless selection. 'go-P' 'P' Like autoselect but using the "+ register instead of the "* register. 'go-A' 'A' Autoselect for the modeless selection. Like 'a', but only applies to the modeless selection. 'guioptions' autoselect Visual autoselect modeless ~ "" - - "a" yes yes "A" - yes "aA" yes yes 'go-c' 'c' Use console dialogs instead of popup dialogs for simple choices. 'go-d' 'd' Use dark theme variant if available. Currently only works for GTK+ GUI. 'go-e' 'e' Add tab pages when indicated with 'showtabline'. 'guitablabel' can be used to change the text in the labels. When 'e' is missing a non-GUI tab pages line may be used. The GUI tabs are only supported on some systems, currently GTK, Motif, Mac OS/X, Haiku, and MS-Windows. 'go-f' 'f' Foreground: Don't use fork() to detach the GUI from the shell where it was started. Use this for programs that wait for the editor to finish (e.g., an e-mail program). Alternatively you can use "gvim -f" or ":gui -f" to start the GUI in the foreground. \|gui-fork\| Note: Set this option in the vimrc file. The forking may have happened already when the \|gvimrc\| file is read. 'go-i' 'i' Use a Vim icon. For GTK with KDE it is used in the left-upper corner of the window. It's black&white on non-GTK, because of limitations of X11. For a color icon, see \|X11-icon\|. 'go-m' 'm' Menu bar is present. 'go-M' 'M' The system menu "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim" is not sourced. Note that this flag must be added in the .vimrc file, before switching on syntax or filetype recognition (when the \|gvimrc\| file is sourced the system menu has already been loaded; the `:syntax on` and `:filetype on` commands load the menu too). 'go-g' 'g' Grey menu items: Make menu items that are not active grey. If 'g' is not included inactive menu items are not shown at all. Exception: Athena will always use grey menu items. 'go-t' 't' Include tearoff menu items. Currently only works for Win32, GTK+, and Motif 1.2 GUI. 'go-T' 'T' Include Toolbar. Currently only in Win32, GTK+, Motif, Photon and Athena GUIs. 'go-r' 'r' Right-hand scrollbar is always present. 'go-R' 'R' Right-hand scrollbar is present when there is a vertically split window. 'go-l' 'l' Left-hand scrollbar is always present. 'go-L' 'L' Left-hand scrollbar is present when there is a vertically split window. 'go-b' 'b' Bottom (horizontal) scrollbar is present. Its size depends on the longest visible line, or on the cursor line if the 'h' flag is included. \|gui-horiz-scroll\| 'go-h' 'h' Limit horizontal scrollbar size to the length of the cursor line. Reduces computations. \|gui-horiz-scroll\| And yes, you may even have scrollbars on the left AND the right if you really want to :-). See \|gui-scrollbars\| for more information. 'go-v' 'v' Use a vertical button layout for dialogs. When not included, a horizontal layout is preferred, but when it doesn't fit a vertical layout is used anyway. 'go-p' 'p' Use Pointer callbacks for X11 GUI. This is required for some window managers. If the cursor is not blinking or hollow at the right moment, try adding this flag. This must be done before starting the GUI. Set it in your \|gvimrc\|. Adding or removing it after the GUI has started has no effect. 'go-F' 'F' Add a footer. Only for Motif. See \|gui-footer\|. 'go-k' 'k' Keep the GUI window size when adding/removing a scrollbar, or toolbar, tabline, etc. Instead, the behavior is similar to when the window is maximized and will adjust 'lines' and 'columns' to fit to the window. Without the 'k' flag Vim will try to keep 'lines' and 'columns' the same when adding and removing GUI components. 'guipty' 'noguipty' 'guipty' boolean (default on) global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} Only in the GUI: If on, an attempt is made to open a pseudo-tty for I/O to/from shell commands. See \|gui-pty\|. 'guitablabel' 'gtl' 'guitablabel' 'gtl' string (default empty) global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} When nonempty describes the text to use in a label of the GUI tab pages line. When empty and when the result is empty Vim will use a default label. See \|setting-guitablabel\| for more info. The format of this option is like that of 'statusline'. 'guitabtooltip' is used for the tooltip, see below. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| when set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. Only used when the GUI tab pages line is displayed. 'e' must be present in 'guioptions'. For the non-GUI tab pages line 'tabline' is used. 'guitabtooltip' 'gtt' 'guitabtooltip' 'gtt' string (default empty) global {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} When nonempty describes the text to use in a tooltip for the GUI tab pages line. When empty Vim will use a default tooltip. This option is otherwise just like 'guitablabel' above. You can include a line break. Simplest method is to use \|:let\|: > :let &guitabtooltip = "line one\nline two" < 'helpfile' 'hf' 'helpfile' 'hf' string (default (MS-Windows) "$VIMRUNTIME\doc\help.txt" (others) "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt") global Name of the main help file. All distributed help files should be placed together in one directory. Additionally, all "doc" directories in 'runtimepath' will be used. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. For example: "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt". If $VIMRUNTIME is not set, $VIM is also tried. Also see \|$VIMRUNTIME\| and \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'helpheight' 'hh' 'helpheight' 'hh' number (default 20) global Minimal initial height of the help window when it is opened with the ":help" command. The initial height of the help window is half of the current window, or (when the 'ea' option is on) the same as other windows. When the height is less than 'helpheight', the height is set to 'helpheight'. Set to zero to disable. 'helplang' 'hlg' 'helplang' 'hlg' string (default: messages language or empty) global {only available when compiled with the \|+multi_lang\| feature} Comma separated list of languages. Vim will use the first language for which the desired help can be found. The English help will always be used as a last resort. You can add "en" to prefer English over another language, but that will only find tags that exist in that language and not in the English help. Example: > :set helplang=de,it < This will first search German, then Italian and finally English help files. When using \|CTRL-]\| and ":help!" in a non-English help file Vim will try to find the tag in the current language before using this option. See \|help-translated\|. 'hidden' 'hid' 'nohidden' 'nohid' 'hidden' 'hid' boolean (default off) global When off a buffer is unloaded when it is \|abandon\|ed. When on a buffer becomes hidden when it is \|abandon\|ed. If the buffer is still displayed in another window, it does not become hidden, of course. The commands that move through the buffer list sometimes make a buffer hidden although the 'hidden' option is off: When the buffer is modified, 'autowrite' is off or writing is not possible, and the '!' flag was used. See also \|windows.txt\|. To only make one buffer hidden use the 'bufhidden' option. This option is set for one command with ":hide {command}" \|:hide\|. WARNING: It's easy to forget that you have changes in hidden buffers. Think twice when using ":q!" or ":qa!". 'highlight' 'hl' 'highlight' 'hl' string (default (as a single string): "8:SpecialKey,~:EndOfBuffer,@:NonText, d:Directory,e:ErrorMsg,i:IncSearch, l:Search,m:MoreMsg,M:ModeMsg,n:LineNr, a:LineNrAbove,b:LineNrBelow, N:CursorLineNr,r:Question,s:StatusLine, S:StatusLineNC,c:VertSplit,t:Title, v:Visual,V:VisualNOS,w:WarningMsg, W:WildMenu,f:Folded,F:FoldColumn, A:DiffAdd,C:DiffChange,D:DiffDelete, T:DiffText,>:SignColumn,-:Conceal, B:SpellBad,P:SpellCap,R:SpellRare, L:SpellLocal,+:Pmenu,=:PmenuSel, x:PmenuSbar,X:PmenuThumb,:TabLine, #:TabLineSel,_:TabLineFill,!:CursorColumn, .:CursorLine,o:ColorColumn,q:QuickFixLine, z:StatusLineTerm,Z:StatusLineTermNC") global This option can be used to set highlighting mode for various occasions. It is a comma separated list of character pairs. The first character in a pair gives the occasion, the second the mode to use for that occasion. The occasions are: \|hl-SpecialKey\| 8 Meta and special keys listed with ":map" \|hl-EndOfBuffer\| ~ lines after the last line in the buffer \|hl-NonText\| @ '@' at the end of the window and characters from 'showbreak' \|hl-Directory\| d directories in CTRL-D listing and other special things in listings \|hl-ErrorMsg\| e error messages h (obsolete, ignored) \|hl-IncSearch\| i 'incsearch' highlighting \|hl-Search\| l last search pattern highlighting (see 'hlsearch') \|hl-MoreMsg\| m \|more-prompt\| \|hl-ModeMsg\| M Mode (e.g., "-- INSERT --") \|hl-LineNr\| n line number for ":number" and ":#" commands, and when 'number' or 'relativenumber' option is set. \|hl-LineNrAbove\| a line number above the cursor for when the 'relativenumber' option is set. \|hl-LineNrBelow\| b line number below the cursor for when the 'relativenumber' option is set. \|hl-CursorLineNr\| N like n for when 'cursorline' or 'relativenumber' is set. \|hl-Question\| r \|hit-enter\| prompt and yes/no questions \|hl-StatusLine\| s status line of current window \|status-line\| \|hl-StatusLineNC\| S status lines of not-current windows \|hl-Title\| t Titles for output from ":set all", ":autocmd" etc. \|hl-VertSplit\| c column used to separate vertically split windows \|hl-Visual\| v Visual mode \|hl-VisualNOS\| V Visual mode when Vim does is "Not Owning the Selection" Only X11 Gui's \|gui-x11\| and \|xterm-clipboard\|. \|hl-WarningMsg\| w warning messages \|hl-WildMenu\| W wildcard matches displayed for 'wildmenu' \|hl-Folded\| f line used for closed folds \|hl-FoldColumn\| F 'foldcolumn' \|hl-DiffAdd\| A added line in diff mode \|hl-DiffChange\| C changed line in diff mode \|hl-DiffDelete\| D deleted line in diff mode \|hl-DiffText\| T inserted text in diff mode \|hl-SignColumn\| > column used for \|signs\| \|hl-Conceal\| - the placeholders used for concealed characters (see 'conceallevel') \|hl-SpellBad\| B misspelled word \|spell\| \|hl-SpellCap\| P word that should start with capital \|spell\| \|hl-SpellRare\| R rare word \|spell\| \|hl-SpellLocal\| L word from other region \|spell\| \|hl-Pmenu\| + popup menu normal line \|hl-PmenuSel\| = popup menu selected line \|hl-PmenuSbar\| x popup menu scrollbar \|hl-PmenuThumb\| X popup menu scrollbar thumb The display modes are: r reverse (termcap entry "mr" and "me") i italic (termcap entry "ZH" and "ZR") b bold (termcap entry "md" and "me") s standout (termcap entry "so" and "se") u underline (termcap entry "us" and "ue") c undercurl (termcap entry "Cs" and "Ce") t strikethrough (termcap entry "Ts" and "Te") n no highlighting - no highlighting : use a highlight group The default is used for occasions that are not included. If you want to change what the display modes do, see \|dos-colors\| for an example. When using the ':' display mode, this must be followed by the name of a highlight group. A highlight group can be used to define any type of highlighting, including using color. See \|:highlight\| on how to define one. The default uses a different group for each occasion. See \|highlight-default\| for the default highlight groups. 'history'* 'hi' 'history' 'hi' number (Vim default: 50, Vi default: 0, set to 200 in \|defaults.vim\|) global A history of ":" commands, and a history of previous search patterns is remembered. This option decides how many entries may be stored in each of these histories (see \|cmdline-editing\|). The maximum value is 10000. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'hkmap' 'hk' 'nohkmap' 'nohk' 'hkmap' 'hk' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} When on, the keyboard is mapped for the Hebrew character set. Normally you would set 'allowrevins' and use CTRL-_ in insert mode to toggle this option. See \|rileft.txt\|. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'hkmapp' 'hkp' 'nohkmapp' 'nohkp' 'hkmapp' 'hkp' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} When on, phonetic keyboard mapping is used. 'hkmap' must also be on. This is useful if you have a non-Hebrew keyboard. See \|rileft.txt\|. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'hlsearch' 'hls' 'nohlsearch' 'nohls' 'hlsearch' 'hls' boolean (default off) global {not available when compiled without the \|+extra_search\| feature} When there is a previous search pattern, highlight all its matches. The type of highlighting used can be set with the 'l' occasion in the 'highlight' option. This uses the "Search" highlight group by default. Note that only the matching text is highlighted, any offsets are not applied. See also: 'incsearch' and \|:match\|. When you get bored looking at the highlighted matches, you can turn it off with \|:nohlsearch\|. This does not change the option value, as soon as you use a search command, the highlighting comes back. 'redrawtime' specifies the maximum time spent on finding matches. When the search pattern can match an end-of-line, Vim will try to highlight all of the matched text. However, this depends on where the search starts. This will be the first line in the window or the first line below a closed fold. A match in a previous line which is not drawn may not continue in a newly drawn line. You can specify whether the highlight status is restored on startup with the 'h' flag in 'viminfo' \|viminfo-h\|. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'icon' 'noicon' 'icon' boolean (default off, on when title can be restored) global {not available when compiled without the \|+title\| feature} When on, the icon text of the window will be set to the value of 'iconstring' (if it is not empty), or to the name of the file currently being edited. Only the last part of the name is used. Overridden by the 'iconstring' option. Only works if the terminal supports setting window icons (currently only X11 GUI and terminals with a non-empty 't_IS' option - these are Unix xterm and iris-ansi by default, where 't_IS' is taken from the builtin termcap). When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original icon will be restored if possible \|X11\|. See \|X11-icon\| for changing the icon on X11. For MS-Windows the icon can be changed, see \|windows-icon\|. 'iconstring' 'iconstring' string (default "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+title\| feature} When this option is not empty, it will be used for the icon text of the window. This happens only when the 'icon' option is on. Only works if the terminal supports setting window icon text (currently only X11 GUI and terminals with a non-empty 't_IS' option). Does not work for MS Windows. When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original icon will be restored if possible \|X11\|. When this option contains printf-style '%' items, they will be expanded according to the rules used for 'statusline'. See 'titlestring' for example settings. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. {not available when compiled without the \|+statusline\| feature} 'ignorecase' 'ic' 'noignorecase' 'noic' 'ignorecase' 'ic' boolean (default off) global Ignore case in search patterns. Also used when searching in the tags file. Also see 'smartcase' and 'tagcase'. Can be overruled by using "\c" or "\C" in the pattern, see \|/ignorecase\|. 'imactivatefunc' 'imaf' 'imactivatefunc' 'imaf' string (default "") global This option specifies a function that will be called to activate or deactivate the Input Method. It is not used in the MS-Windows GUI version. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| when set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. Example: > function ImActivateFunc(active) if a:active ... do something else ... do something endif " return value is not used endfunction set imactivatefunc=ImActivateFunc < 'imactivatekey' 'imak' 'imactivatekey' 'imak' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with \|+xim\| and \|+GUI_GTK\|} E599 Specifies the key that your Input Method in X-Windows uses for activation. When this is specified correctly, vim can fully control IM with 'imcmdline', 'iminsert' and 'imsearch'. You can't use this option to change the activation key, the option tells Vim what the key is. Format: [MODIFIER_FLAG-]KEY_STRING These characters can be used for MODIFIER_FLAG (case is ignored): S Shift key L Lock key C Control key 1 Mod1 key 2 Mod2 key 3 Mod3 key 4 Mod4 key 5 Mod5 key Combinations are allowed, for example "S-C-space" or "SC-space" are both shift+ctrl+space. See <X11/keysymdef.h> and XStringToKeysym for KEY_STRING. Example: > :set imactivatekey=S-space < "S-space" means shift+space. This is the activation key for kinput2 + canna (Japanese), and ami (Korean). 'imcmdline' 'imc' 'noimcmdline' 'noimc' 'imcmdline' 'imc' boolean (default off) global When set the Input Method is always on when starting to edit a command line, unless entering a search pattern (see 'imsearch' for that). Setting this option is useful when your input method allows entering English characters directly, e.g., when it's used to type accented characters with dead keys. 'imdisable' 'imd' 'noimdisable' 'noimd' 'imdisable' 'imd' boolean (default off, on for some systems (SGI)) global When set the Input Method is never used. This is useful to disable the IM when it doesn't work properly. Currently this option is on by default for SGI/IRIX machines. This may change in later releases. 'iminsert' 'imi' 'iminsert' 'imi' number (default 0) local to buffer Specifies whether :lmap or an Input Method (IM) is to be used in Insert mode. Valid values: 0 :lmap is off and IM is off 1 :lmap is ON and IM is off 2 :lmap is off and IM is ON To always reset the option to zero when leaving Insert mode with <Esc> this can be used: > :inoremap <ESC> <ESC>:set iminsert=0<CR> < This makes :lmap and IM turn off automatically when leaving Insert mode. Note that this option changes when using CTRL-^ in Insert mode \|i_CTRL-^\|. The value is set to 1 when setting 'keymap' to a valid keymap name. It is also used for the argument of commands like "r" and "f". The value 0 may not work correctly with Athena and Motif with some XIM methods. Use 'imdisable' to disable XIM then. You can set 'imactivatefunc' and 'imstatusfunc' to handle IME/XIM via external command if Vim is not compiled with the \|+xim\|, \|+multi_byte_ime\| or \|global-ime\|. 'imsearch' 'ims' 'imsearch' 'ims' number (default -1) local to buffer Specifies whether :lmap or an Input Method (IM) is to be used when entering a search pattern. Valid values: -1 the value of 'iminsert' is used, makes it look like 'iminsert' is also used when typing a search pattern 0 :lmap is off and IM is off 1 :lmap is ON and IM is off 2 :lmap is off and IM is ON Note that this option changes when using CTRL-^ in Command-line mode \|c_CTRL-^\|. The value is set to 1 when it is not -1 and setting the 'keymap' option to a valid keymap name. The value 0 may not work correctly with Athena and Motif with some XIM methods. Use 'imdisable' to disable XIM then. 'imstatusfunc' 'imsf' 'imstatusfunc' 'imsf' string (default "") global This option specifies a function that is called to obtain the status of Input Method. It must return a positive number when IME is active. It is not used in the MS-Windows GUI version. Example: > function ImStatusFunc() let is_active = ...do something return is_active ? 1 : 0 endfunction set imstatusfunc=ImStatusFunc < NOTE: This function is invoked very often. Keep it fast. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| when set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. 'imstyle' 'imst' 'imstyle' 'imst' number (default 1) global {only available when compiled with \|+xim\| and \|+GUI_GTK\|} This option specifies the input style of Input Method: 0 use on-the-spot style 1 over-the-spot style See: \|xim-input-style\| For a long time on-the-spot style had been used in the GTK version of vim, however, it is known that it causes troubles when using mappings, \|single-repeat\|, etc. Therefore over-the-spot style becomes the default now. This should work fine for most people, however if you have any problem with it, try using on-the-spot style. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| when set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. 'include' 'inc' 'include' 'inc' string (default "^\s#\sinclude") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| {not available when compiled without the \|+find_in_path\| feature} Pattern to be used to find an include command. It is a search pattern, just like for the "/" command (See \|pattern\|). The default value is for C programs. This option is used for the commands "[i", "]I", "[d", etc. Normally the 'isfname' option is used to recognize the file name that comes after the matched pattern. But if "\zs" appears in the pattern then the text matched from "\zs" to the end, or until "\ze" if it appears, is used as the file name. Use this to include characters that are not in 'isfname', such as a space. You can then use 'includeexpr' to process the matched text. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. 'includeexpr' 'inex' 'includeexpr' 'inex' string (default "") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+find_in_path\| or \|+eval\| features} Expression to be used to transform the string found with the 'include' option to a file name. Mostly useful to change "." to "/" for Java: > :set includeexpr=substitute(v:fname,'\\.','/','g') < The "v:fname" variable will be set to the file name that was detected. Also used for the \|gf\| command if an unmodified file name can't be found. Allows doing "gf" on the name after an 'include' statement. Also used for \|<cfile>\|. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| when set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while evaluating 'includeexpr' \|textlock\|. 'incsearch' 'is' 'noincsearch' 'nois' 'incsearch' 'is' boolean (default off, set in \|defaults.vim\| if the +reltime feature is supported) global {not available when compiled without the \|+extra_search\| features} While typing a search command, show where the pattern, as it was typed so far, matches. The matched string is highlighted. If the pattern is invalid or not found, nothing is shown. The screen will be updated often, this is only useful on fast terminals. Also applies to the pattern in commands: > :global :lvimgrep :lvimgrepadd :smagic :snomagic :sort :substitute :vglobal :vimgrep :vimgrepadd < Note that the match will be shown, but the cursor will return to its original position when no match is found and when pressing <Esc>. You still need to finish the search command with <Enter> to move the cursor to the match. You can use the CTRL-G and CTRL-T keys to move to the next and previous match. \|c_CTRL-G\| \|c_CTRL-T\| When compiled with the \|+reltime\| feature Vim only searches for about half a second. With a complicated pattern and/or a lot of text the match may not be found. This is to avoid that Vim hangs while you are typing the pattern. The highlighting can be set with the 'i' flag in 'highlight'. When 'hlsearch' is on, all matched strings are highlighted too while typing a search command. See also: 'hlsearch'. If you don't want to turn 'hlsearch' on, but want to highlight all matches while searching, you can turn on and off 'hlsearch' with autocmd. Example: > augroup vimrc-incsearch-highlight autocmd! autocmd CmdlineEnter /,\? :set hlsearch autocmd CmdlineLeave /,\? :set nohlsearch augroup END < CTRL-L can be used to add one character from after the current match to the command line. If 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' are set and the command line has no uppercase characters, the added character is converted to lowercase. CTRL-R CTRL-W can be used to add the word at the end of the current match, excluding the characters that were already typed. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'indentexpr' 'inde' 'indentexpr' 'inde' string (default "") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+cindent\| or \|+eval\| features} Expression which is evaluated to obtain the proper indent for a line. It is used when a new line is created, for the \|=\| operator and in Insert mode as specified with the 'indentkeys' option. When this option is not empty, it overrules the 'cindent' and 'smartindent' indenting. When 'lisp' is set, this option is overridden by the Lisp indentation algorithm. When 'paste' is set this option is not used for indenting. The expression is evaluated with \|v:lnum\| set to the line number for which the indent is to be computed. The cursor is also in this line when the expression is evaluated (but it may be moved around). The expression must return the number of spaces worth of indent. It can return "-1" to keep the current indent (this means 'autoindent' is used for the indent). Functions useful for computing the indent are \|indent()\|, \|cindent()\| and \|lispindent()\|. The evaluation of the expression must not have side effects! It must not change the text, jump to another window, etc. Afterwards the cursor position is always restored, thus the cursor may be moved. Normally this option would be set to call a function: > :set indentexpr=GetMyIndent() < Error messages will be suppressed, unless the 'debug' option contains "msg". See \|indent-expression\|. NOTE: This option is set to "" when 'compatible' is set. The expression will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| when set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while evaluating 'indentexpr' \|textlock\|. 'indentkeys' 'indk' 'indentkeys' 'indk' string (default "0{,0},0),0],:,0#,!^F,o,O,e") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+cindent\| feature} A list of keys that, when typed in Insert mode, cause reindenting of the current line. Only happens if 'indentexpr' isn't empty. The format is identical to 'cinkeys', see \|indentkeys-format\|. See \|C-indenting\| and \|indent-expression\|. 'infercase' 'inf' 'noinfercase' 'noinf' 'infercase' 'inf' boolean (default off) local to buffer When doing keyword completion in insert mode \|ins-completion\|, and 'ignorecase' is also on, the case of the match is adjusted depending on the typed text. If the typed text contains a lowercase letter where the match has an upper case letter, the completed part is made lowercase. If the typed text has no lowercase letters and the match has a lowercase letter where the typed text has an uppercase letter, and there is a letter before it, the completed part is made uppercase. With 'noinfercase' the match is used as-is. 'insertmode' 'im' 'noinsertmode' 'noim' 'insertmode' 'im' boolean (default off) global Makes Vim work in a way that Insert mode is the default mode. Useful if you want to use Vim as a modeless editor. Used for \|evim\|. These Insert mode commands will be useful: - Use the cursor keys to move around. - Use CTRL-O to execute one Normal mode command \|i_CTRL-O\|. When this is a mapping, it is executed as if 'insertmode' was off. Normal mode remains active until the mapping is finished. - Use CTRL-L to execute a number of Normal mode commands, then use <Esc> to get back to Insert mode. Note that CTRL-L moves the cursor left, like <Esc> does when 'insertmode' isn't set. \|i_CTRL-L\| These items change when 'insertmode' is set: - when starting to edit of a file, Vim goes to Insert mode. - <Esc> in Insert mode is a no-op and beeps. - <Esc> in Normal mode makes Vim go to Insert mode. - CTRL-L in Insert mode is a command, it is not inserted. - CTRL-Z in Insert mode suspends Vim, see \|CTRL-Z\|. i_CTRL-Z However, when <Esc> is used inside a mapping, it behaves like 'insertmode' was not set. This was done to be able to use the same mappings with 'insertmode' set or not set. When executing commands with \|:normal\| 'insertmode' is not used. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'isfname' 'isf' 'isfname' 'isf' string (default for Win32: "@,48-57,/,\,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,{,},[,],:,@-@,!,~,=" for AMIGA: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,$,:" for VMS: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,<,>,[,],:,;,~" for OS/390: "@,240-249,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,~,=" otherwise: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,~,=") global The characters specified by this option are included in file names and path names. Filenames are used for commands like "gf", "[i" and in the tags file. It is also used for "\f" in a \|pattern\|. Multi-byte characters 256 and above are always included, only the characters up to 255 are specified with this option. For UTF-8 the characters 0xa0 to 0xff are included as well. Think twice before adding white space to this option. Although a space may appear inside a file name, the effect will be that Vim doesn't know where a file name starts or ends when doing completion. It most likely works better without a space in 'isfname'. Note that on systems using a backslash as path separator, Vim tries to do its best to make it work as you would expect. That is a bit tricky, since Vi originally used the backslash to escape special characters. Vim will not remove a backslash in front of a normal file name character on these systems, but it will on Unix and alikes. The '&' and '^' are not included by default, because these are special for cmd.exe. The format of this option is a list of parts, separated with commas. Each part can be a single character number or a range. A range is two character numbers with '-' in between. A character number can be a decimal number between 0 and 255 or the ASCII character itself (does not work for digits). Example: "_,-,128-140,#-43" (include '_' and '-' and the range 128 to 140 and '#' to 43) If a part starts with '^', the following character number or range will be excluded from the option. The option is interpreted from left to right. Put the excluded character after the range where it is included. To include '^' itself use it as the last character of the option or the end of a range. Example: "^a-z,#,^" (exclude 'a' to 'z', include '#' and '^') If the character is '@', all characters where isalpha() returns TRUE are included. Normally these are the characters a to z and A to Z, plus accented characters. To include '@' itself use "@-@". Examples: "@,^a-z" All alphabetic characters, excluding lower case ASCII letters. "a-z,A-Z,@-@" All letters plus the '@' character. A comma can be included by using it where a character number is expected. Example: "48-57,,,_" Digits, comma and underscore. A comma can be excluded by prepending a '^'. Example: " -~,^,,9" All characters from space to '~', excluding comma, plus <Tab>. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. 'isident' 'isi' 'isident' 'isi' string (default for Win32: "@,48-57,_,128-167,224-235" otherwise: "@,48-57,_,192-255") global The characters given by this option are included in identifiers. Identifiers are used in recognizing environment variables and after a match of the 'define' option. It is also used for "\i" in a \|pattern\|. See 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option. For '@' only characters up to 255 are used. Careful: If you change this option, it might break expanding environment variables. E.g., when '/' is included and Vim tries to expand "$HOME/.viminfo". Maybe you should change 'iskeyword' instead. 'iskeyword' 'isk' 'iskeyword' 'isk' string (Vim default for Win32: "@,48-57,_,128-167,224-235" otherwise: "@,48-57,_,192-255" Vi default: "@,48-57,_") local to buffer Keywords are used in searching and recognizing with many commands: "w", "", "[i", etc. It is also used for "\k" in a \|pattern\|. See 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option. For '@' characters above 255 check the "word" character class. For C programs you could use "a-z,A-Z,48-57,_,.,-,>". For a help file it is set to all non-blank printable characters except '', '"' and '\|' (so that CTRL-] on a command finds the help for that command). When the 'lisp' option is on the '-' character is always included. This option also influences syntax highlighting, unless the syntax uses \|:syn-iskeyword\|. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'isprint' 'isp' 'isprint' 'isp' string (default for Win32 and macOS: "@,~-255"; otherwise: "@,161-255") global The characters given by this option are displayed directly on the screen. It is also used for "\p" in a \|pattern\|. The characters from space (ASCII 32) to '~' (ASCII 126) are always displayed directly, even when they are not included in 'isprint' or excluded. See 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option. Non-printable characters are displayed with two characters: 0 - 31 "^@" - "^_" 32 - 126 always single characters 127 "^?" 128 - 159 "~@" - "~_" 160 - 254 "\| " - "\|~" 255 "~?" When 'encoding' is a Unicode one, illegal bytes from 128 to 255 are displayed as <xx>, with the hexadecimal value of the byte. When 'display' contains "uhex" all unprintable characters are displayed as <xx>. The SpecialKey highlighting will be used for unprintable characters. \|hl-SpecialKey\| Multi-byte characters 256 and above are always included, only the characters up to 255 are specified with this option. When a character is printable but it is not available in the current font, a replacement character will be shown. Unprintable and zero-width Unicode characters are displayed as <xxxx>. There is no option to specify these characters. 'joinspaces' 'js' 'nojoinspaces' 'nojs' 'joinspaces' 'js' boolean (default on) global Insert two spaces after a '.', '?' and '!' with a join command. When 'cpoptions' includes the 'j' flag, only do this after a '.'. Otherwise only one space is inserted. NOTE: This option is set when 'compatible' is set. 'key' 'key' string (default "") local to buffer {only available when compiled with the \|+cryptv\| feature} The key that is used for encrypting and decrypting the current buffer. See \|encryption\| and 'cryptmethod'. Careful: Do not set the key value by hand, someone might see the typed key. Use the \|:X\| command. But you can make 'key' empty: > :set key= < It is not possible to get the value of this option with ":set key" or "echo &key". This is to avoid showing it to someone who shouldn't know. It also means you cannot see it yourself once you have set it, be careful not to make a typing error! You can use "&key" in an expression to detect whether encryption is enabled. When 'key' is set it returns "****" (five stars). 'keymap'* 'kmp' E544 'keymap' 'kmp' string (default "") local to buffer {only available when compiled with the \|+keymap\| feature} Name of a keyboard mapping. See \|mbyte-keymap\|. Setting this option to a valid keymap name has the side effect of setting 'iminsert' to one, so that the keymap becomes effective. 'imsearch' is also set to one, unless it was -1 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\?[\|<>" are illegal. 'keymodel'* 'km' 'keymodel' 'km' string (default "") global List of comma separated words, which enable special things that keys can do. These values can be used: startsel Using a shifted special key starts selection (either Select mode or Visual mode, depending on "key" being present in 'selectmode'). stopsel Using a not-shifted special key stops selection. Special keys in this context are the cursor keys, <End>, <Home>, <PageUp> and <PageDown>. The 'keymodel' option is set by the \|:behave\| command. 'keywordprg' 'kp' 'keywordprg' 'kp' string (default "man" or "man -s", DOS: ":help", VMS: "help") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| Program to use for the \|K\| command. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. ":help" may be used to access the Vim internal help. (Note that previously setting the global option to the empty value did this, which is now deprecated.) When the first character is ":", the command is invoked as a Vim Ex command prefixed with [count]. When "man", "man -s" or an Ex command is used, Vim will automatically translate a count for the "K" command and pass it as the first argument. For "man -s" the "-s" is removed when there is no count. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. Example: > :set keywordprg=man\ -s < This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'langmap' 'lmap' E357 E358 'langmap' 'lmap' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|+langmap\| feature} This option allows switching your keyboard into a special language mode. When you are typing text in Insert mode the characters are inserted directly. When in Normal mode the 'langmap' option takes care of translating these special characters to the original meaning of the key. This means you don't have to change the keyboard mode to be able to execute Normal mode commands. This is the opposite of the 'keymap' option, where characters are mapped in Insert mode. Also consider setting 'langremap' to off, to prevent 'langmap' from applying to characters resulting from a mapping. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. Example (for Greek, in UTF-8): greek > :set langmap=ΑA,ΒB,ΨC,ΔD,ΕE,ΦF,ΓG,ΗH,ΙI,ΞJ,ΚK,ΛL,ΜM,ΝN,ΟO,ΠP,QQ,ΡR,ΣS,ΤT,ΘU,ΩV,WW,ΧX,ΥY,ΖZ,αa,βb,ψc,δd,εe,φf,γg,ηh,ιi,ξj,κk,λl,μm,νn,οo,πp,qq,ρr,σs,τt,θu,ωv,ςw,χx,υy,ζz < Example (exchanges meaning of z and y for commands): > :set langmap=zy,yz,ZY,YZ < The 'langmap' option is a list of parts, separated with commas. Each part can be in one of two forms: 1. A list of pairs. Each pair is a "from" character immediately followed by the "to" character. Examples: "aA", "aAbBcC". 2. A list of "from" characters, a semi-colon and a list of "to" characters. Example: "abc;ABC" Example: "aA,fgh;FGH,cCdDeE" Special characters need to be preceded with a backslash. These are ";", ',', '"', '\|' and backslash itself. This will allow you to activate vim actions without having to switch back and forth between the languages. Your language characters will be understood as normal vim English characters (according to the langmap mappings) in the following cases: o Normal/Visual mode (commands, buffer/register names, user mappings) o Insert/Replace Mode: Register names after CTRL-R o Insert/Replace Mode: Mappings Characters entered in Command-line mode will NOT be affected by this option. Note that this option can be changed at any time allowing to switch between mappings for different languages/encodings. Use a mapping to avoid having to type it each time! 'langmenu' 'lm' 'langmenu' 'lm' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|+menu\| and \|+multi_lang\| features} Language to use for menu translation. Tells which file is loaded from the "lang" directory in 'runtimepath': > "lang/menu_" . &langmenu . ".vim" < (without the spaces). For example, to always use the Dutch menus, no matter what $LANG is set to: > :set langmenu=nl_NL.ISO_8859-1 < When 'langmenu' is empty, \|v:lang\| is used. Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\?[\|<>" are illegal. If your $LANG is set to a non-English language but you do want to use the English menus: > :set langmenu=none < This option must be set before loading menus, switching on filetype detection or syntax highlighting. Once the menus are defined setting this option has no effect. But you could do this: > :source $VIMRUNTIME/delmenu.vim :set langmenu=de_DE.ISO_8859-1 :source $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim < Warning: This deletes all menus that you defined yourself! 'langnoremap'* 'lnr' 'nolangnoremap' 'nolnr' 'langnoremap' 'lnr' boolean (default off, set in \|defaults.vim\|) global {only available when compiled with the \|+langmap\| feature} This is just like 'langremap' but with the value inverted. It only exists for backwards compatibility. When setting 'langremap' then 'langnoremap' is set to the inverted value, and the other way around. 'langremap' 'lrm' 'nolangremap' 'nolrm' 'langremap' 'lrm' boolean (default on, set to off in \|defaults.vim\|) global {only available when compiled with the \|+langmap\| feature} When off, setting 'langmap' does not apply to characters resulting from a mapping. This basically means, if you noticed that setting 'langmap' disables some of your mappings, try resetting this option. This option defaults to on for backwards compatibility. Set it off if that works for you to avoid mappings to break. 'laststatus' 'ls' 'laststatus' 'ls' number (default 1) global The value of this option influences when the last window will have a status line: 0: never 1: only if there are at least two windows 2: always The screen looks nicer with a status line if you have several windows, but it takes another screen line. \|status-line\| 'lazyredraw' 'lz' 'nolazyredraw' 'nolz' 'lazyredraw' 'lz' boolean (default off) global When this option is set, the screen will not be redrawn while executing macros, registers and other commands that have not been typed. Also, updating the window title is postponed. To force an update use \|:redraw\|. 'linebreak' 'lbr' 'nolinebreak' 'nolbr' 'linebreak' 'lbr' boolean (default off) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+linebreak\| feature} If on, Vim will wrap long lines at a character in 'breakat' rather than at the last character that fits on the screen. Unlike 'wrapmargin' and 'textwidth', this does not insert <EOL>s in the file, it only affects the way the file is displayed, not its contents. If 'breakindent' is set, line is visually indented. Then, the value of 'showbreak' is used to put in front of wrapped lines. This option is not used when the 'wrap' option is off. Note that <Tab> characters after an <EOL> are mostly not displayed with the right amount of white space. 'lines' E593 'lines' number (default 24 or terminal height) global Number of lines of the Vim window. Normally you don't need to set this. It is done automatically by the terminal initialization code. Also see \|posix-screen-size\|. When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your \|gvimrc\| file. Vim limits the number of lines to what fits on the screen. You can use this command to get the tallest window possible: > :set lines=999 < Minimum value is 2, maximum value is 1000. If you get fewer lines than expected, check the 'guiheadroom' option. When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical number of lines of the display, the display may be messed up. 'linespace' 'lsp' 'linespace' 'lsp' number (default 0, 1 for Win32 GUI) global {only in the GUI} Number of pixel lines inserted between characters. Useful if the font uses the full character cell height, making lines touch each other. When non-zero there is room for underlining. With some fonts there can be too much room between lines (to have space for ascents and descents). Then it makes sense to set 'linespace' to a negative value. This may cause display problems though! 'lisp' 'nolisp' 'lisp' boolean (default off) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+lispindent\| feature} Lisp mode: When <Enter> is typed in insert mode set the indent for the next line to Lisp standards (well, sort of). Also happens with "cc" or "S". 'autoindent' must also be on for this to work. The 'p' flag in 'cpoptions' changes the method of indenting: Vi compatible or better. Also see 'lispwords'. The '-' character is included in keyword characters. Redefines the "=" operator to use this same indentation algorithm rather than calling an external program if 'equalprg' is empty. This option is not used when 'paste' is set. 'lispwords' 'lw' 'lispwords' 'lw' string (default is very long) global or local to buffer \|global-local\| {not available when compiled without the \|+lispindent\| feature} Comma separated list of words that influence the Lisp indenting. \|'lisp'\| 'list' 'nolist' 'list' boolean (default off) local to window List mode: Show tabs as CTRL-I is displayed, display $ after end of line. Useful to see the difference between tabs and spaces and for trailing blanks. Further changed by the 'listchars' option. The cursor is displayed at the start of the space a Tab character occupies, not at the end as usual in Normal mode. To get this cursor position while displaying Tabs with spaces, use: > :set list lcs=tab:\ \ < Note that list mode will also affect formatting (set with 'textwidth' or 'wrapmargin') when 'cpoptions' includes 'L'. See 'listchars' for changing the way tabs are displayed. 'listchars' 'lcs' 'listchars' 'lcs' string (default "eol:$") global or local to window \|global-local\| Strings to use in 'list' mode and for the \|:list\| command. It is a comma separated list of string settings. lcs-eol eol:c Character to show at the end of each line. When omitted, there is no extra character at the end of the line. lcs-tab tab:xy[z] Two or three characters to be used to show a tab. The third character is optional. tab:xy The 'x' is always used, then 'y' as many times as will fit. Thus "tab:>-" displays: > >- >-- etc. tab:xyz The 'z' is always used, then 'x' is prepended, and then 'y' is used as many times as will fit. Thus "tab:<->" displays: > <> <-> <--> etc. When "tab:" is omitted, a tab is shown as ^I. lcs-space space:c Character to show for a space. When omitted, spaces are left blank. lcs-lead lead:c Character to show for leading spaces. When omitted, leading spaces are blank. Overrides the "space" setting for leading spaces. You can combine it with "tab:", for example: > :set listchars+=tab:>-,lead:. < lcs-trail trail:c Character to show for trailing spaces. When omitted, trailing spaces are blank. Overrides the "space" setting for trailing spaces. lcs-extends extends:c Character to show in the last column, when 'wrap' is off and the line continues beyond the right of the screen. lcs-precedes precedes:c Character to show in the first visible column of the physical line, when there is text preceding the character visible in the first column. lcs-conceal conceal:c Character to show in place of concealed text, when 'conceallevel' is set to 1. lcs-nbsp nbsp:c Character to show for a non-breakable space character (0xA0 (160 decimal) and U+202F). Left blank when omitted. The characters ':' and ',' should not be used. UTF-8 characters can be used when 'encoding' is "utf-8", otherwise only printable characters are allowed. All characters must be single width. Examples: > :set lcs=tab:>-,trail:- :set lcs=tab:>-,eol:<,nbsp:% :set lcs=extends:>,precedes:< < The "NonText" highlighting will be used for "eol", "extends" and "precedes". "SpecialKey" for "nbsp", "space", "tab" and "trail". \|hl-NonText\| \|hl-SpecialKey\| 'lpl' 'nolpl' 'loadplugins' 'noloadplugins' 'loadplugins' 'lpl' boolean (default on) global When on the plugin scripts are loaded when starting up \|load-plugins\|. This option can be reset in your \|vimrc\| file to disable the loading of plugins. Note that using the "-u NONE", "-u DEFAULTS" and "--noplugin" command line arguments reset this option. See \|-u\| and \|--noplugin\|. 'luadll' 'luadll' string (default depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+lua/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the Lua shared library. The default is DYNAMIC_LUA_DLL, which was specified at compile time. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'macatsui' 'nomacatsui' 'macatsui' boolean (default on) global {not supported} No longer supported, as the Mac OS X GUI code was removed. 'magic' 'nomagic' 'magic' boolean (default on) global Changes the special characters that can be used in search patterns. See \|pattern\|. WARNING: Switching this option off most likely breaks plugins! That is because many patterns assume it's on and will fail when it's off. Only switch it off when working with old Vi scripts. In any other situation write patterns that work when 'magic' is on. Include "\M" when you want to \|/\M\|. In \|Vim9\| script the value of 'magic' is ignored, patterns behave like it is always set. 'makeef' 'mef' 'makeef' 'mef' string (default: "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} Name of the errorfile for the \|:make\| command (see \|:make_makeprg\|) and the \|:grep\| command. When it is empty, an internally generated temp file will be used. When "##" is included, it is replaced by a number to make the name unique. This makes sure that the ":make" command doesn't overwrite an existing file. NOT used for the ":cf" command. See 'errorfile' for that. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'makeencoding' 'menc' 'makeencoding' 'menc' string (default "") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| Encoding used for reading the output of external commands. When empty, encoding is not converted. This is used for `:make`, `:lmake`, `:grep`, `:lgrep`, `:grepadd`, `:lgrepadd`, `:cfile`, `:cgetfile`, `:caddfile`, `:lfile`, `:lgetfile`, and `:laddfile`. This would be mostly useful when you use MS-Windows and set 'encoding' to "utf-8". If \|+iconv\| is enabled and GNU libiconv is used, setting 'makeencoding' to "char" has the same effect as setting to the system locale encoding. Example: > :set encoding=utf-8 :set makeencoding=char " system locale is used < 'makeprg' 'mp' 'makeprg' 'mp' string (default "make", VMS: "MMS") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| Program to use for the ":make" command. See \|:make_makeprg\|. This option may contain '%' and '#' characters (see \|:_%\| and \|:_#\|), which are expanded to the current and alternate file name. Use \|::S\| to escape file names in case they contain special characters. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. Note that a '\|' must be escaped twice: once for ":set" and once for the interpretation of a command. When you use a filter called "myfilter" do it like this: > :set makeprg=gmake\ \\\\|\ myfilter < The placeholder "$" can be given (even multiple times) to specify where the arguments will be included, for example: > :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$} < This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'matchpairs' 'mps' 'matchpairs' 'mps' string (default "(:),{:},[:]") local to buffer Characters that form pairs. The \|%\| command jumps from one to the other. Only character pairs are allowed that are different, thus you cannot jump between two double quotes. The characters must be separated by a colon. The pairs must be separated by a comma. Example for including '<' and '>' (HTML): > :set mps+=<:> < A more exotic example, to jump between the '=' and ';' in an assignment, useful for languages like C and Java: > :au FileType c,cpp,java set mps+==:; < For a more advanced way of using "%", see the matchit.vim plugin in the $VIMRUNTIME/pack/dist/opt/matchit directory. \|add-local-help\| 'matchtime' 'mat' 'matchtime' 'mat' number (default 5) global Tenths of a second to show the matching paren, when 'showmatch' is set. Note that this is not in milliseconds, like other options that set a time. This is to be compatible with Nvi. 'maxcombine' 'mco' 'maxcombine' 'mco' number (default 2) global The maximum number of combining characters supported for displaying. Only used when 'encoding' is "utf-8". The default is OK for most languages. Hebrew may require 4. Maximum value is 6. Even when this option is set to 2 you can still edit text with more combining characters, you just can't see them. Use \|g8\| or \|ga\|. See \|mbyte-combining\|. 'maxfuncdepth' 'mfd' 'maxfuncdepth' 'mfd' number (default 100) global {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} Maximum depth of function calls for user functions. This normally catches endless recursion. When using a recursive function with more depth, set 'maxfuncdepth' to a bigger number. But this will use more memory, there is the danger of failing when memory is exhausted. Increasing this limit above 200 also changes the maximum for Ex command recursion, see \|E169\|. See also \|:function\|. 'maxmapdepth' 'mmd' E223 'maxmapdepth' 'mmd' number (default 1000) global Maximum number of times a mapping is done without resulting in a character to be used. This normally catches endless mappings, like ":map x y" with ":map y x". It still does not catch ":map g wg", because the 'w' is used before the next mapping is done. See also \|key-mapping\|. 'maxmem' 'mm' 'maxmem' 'mm' number (default between 256 to 5120 (system dependent) or half the amount of memory available) global Maximum amount of memory (in Kbyte) to use for one buffer. When this limit is reached allocating extra memory for a buffer will cause other memory to be freed. The maximum usable value is about 2000000. Use this to work without a limit. The value is ignored when 'swapfile' is off. Also see 'maxmemtot'. 'maxmempattern' 'mmp' 'maxmempattern' 'mmp' number (default 1000) global Maximum amount of memory (in Kbyte) to use for pattern matching. The maximum value is about 2000000. Use this to work without a limit. E363 When Vim runs into the limit it gives an error message and mostly behaves like CTRL-C was typed. Running into the limit often means that the pattern is very inefficient or too complex. This may already happen with the pattern "$.$" on a very long line. "." works much better. Might also happen on redraw, when syntax rules try to match a complex text structure. Vim may run out of memory before hitting the 'maxmempattern' limit, in which case you get an "Out of memory" error instead. 'maxmemtot' 'mmt' 'maxmemtot' 'mmt' number (default between 2048 and 10240 (system dependent) or half the amount of memory available) global Maximum amount of memory in Kbyte to use for all buffers together. The maximum usable value is about 2000000 (2 Gbyte). Use this to work without a limit. On 64 bit machines higher values might work. But hey, do you really need more than 2 Gbyte for text editing? Keep in mind that text is stored in the swap file, one can edit files > 2 Gbyte anyway. We do need the memory to store undo info. Buffers with 'swapfile' off still count to the total amount of memory used. Also see 'maxmem'. 'menuitems' 'mis' 'menuitems' 'mis' number (default 25) global {not available when compiled without the \|+menu\| feature} Maximum number of items to use in a menu. Used for menus that are generated from a list of items, e.g., the Buffers menu. Changing this option has no direct effect, the menu must be refreshed first. 'mkspellmem' 'msm' 'mkspellmem' 'msm' string (default "460000,2000,500") global {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} Parameters for \|:mkspell\|. This tunes when to start compressing the word tree. Compression can be slow when there are many words, but it's needed to avoid running out of memory. The amount of memory used per word depends very much on how similar the words are, that's why this tuning is complicated. There are three numbers, separated by commas: {start},{inc},{added} For most languages the uncompressed word tree fits in memory. {start} gives the amount of memory in Kbyte that can be used before any compression is done. It should be a bit smaller than the amount of memory that is available to Vim. When going over the {start} limit the {inc} number specifies the amount of memory in Kbyte that can be allocated before another compression is done. A low number means compression is done after less words are added, which is slow. A high number means more memory will be allocated. After doing compression, {added} times 1024 words can be added before the {inc} limit is ignored and compression is done when any extra amount of memory is needed. A low number means there is a smaller chance of hitting the {inc} limit, less memory is used but it's slower. The languages for which these numbers are important are Italian and Hungarian. The default works for when you have about 512 Mbyte. If you have 1 Gbyte you could use: > :set mkspellmem=900000,3000,800 < If you have less than 512 Mbyte \|:mkspell\| may fail for some languages, no matter what you set 'mkspellmem' to. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|. 'modeline' 'ml' 'nomodeline' 'noml' 'modeline' 'ml' boolean (Vim default: on (off for root), Vi default: off) local to buffer If 'modeline' is on 'modelines' gives the number of lines that is checked for set commands. If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is zero no lines are checked. See \|modeline\|. 'modelineexpr' 'mle' 'nomodelineexpr' 'nomle' 'modelineexpr' 'mle' boolean (default: off) global When on allow some options that are an expression to be set in the modeline. Check the option for whether it is affected by 'modelineexpr'. Also see \|modeline\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'modelines' 'mls' 'modelines' 'mls' number (default 5) global If 'modeline' is on 'modelines' gives the number of lines that is checked for set commands. If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is zero no lines are checked. See \|modeline\|. NOTE: 'modeline' is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'modifiable' 'ma' 'nomodifiable' 'noma' E21 'modifiable' 'ma' boolean (default on) local to buffer When off the buffer contents cannot be changed. The 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' options also can't be changed. Can be reset on startup with the \|-M\| command line argument. 'modified' 'mod' 'nomodified' 'nomod' 'modified' 'mod' boolean (default off) local to buffer When on, the buffer is considered to be modified. This option is set when: 1. A change was made to the text since it was last written. Using the \|undo\| command to go back to the original text will reset the option. But undoing changes that were made before writing the buffer will set the option again, since the text is different from when it was written. 2. 'fileformat' or 'fileencoding' is different from its original value. The original value is set when the buffer is read or written. A ":set nomodified" command also resets the original values to the current values and the 'modified' option will be reset. Similarly for 'eol' and 'bomb'. This option is not set when a change is made to the buffer as the result of a BufNewFile, BufRead/BufReadPost, BufWritePost, FileAppendPost or VimLeave autocommand event. See \|gzip-example\| for an explanation. When 'buftype' is "nowrite" or "nofile" this option may be set, but will be ignored. Note that the text may actually be the same, e.g. 'modified' is set when using "rA" on an "A". 'more' 'nomore' 'more' boolean (Vim default: on, Vi default: off) global When on, listings pause when the whole screen is filled. You will get the \|more-prompt\|. When this option is off there are no pauses, the listing continues until finished. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'mouse' 'mouse' string (default "", "a" for GUI and Win32, set to "a" or "nvi" in \|defaults.vim\|) global Enable the use of the mouse. Works for most terminals (xterm, Win32 \|win32-mouse\|, QNX pterm, BSD console with sysmouse and Linux console with gpm). For using the mouse in the GUI, see \|gui-mouse\|. The mouse can be enabled for different modes: n Normal mode and Terminal modes v Visual mode i Insert mode c Command-line mode h all previous modes when editing a help file a all previous modes r for \|hit-enter\| and \|more-prompt\| prompt Normally you would enable the mouse in all five modes with: > :set mouse=a < If your terminal can't overrule the mouse events going to the application, use: > :set mouse=nvi < Then you can press ":", select text for the system, and press Esc to go back to Vim using the mouse events. In \|defaults.vim\| "nvi" is used if the 'term' option is not matching "xterm". When the mouse is not enabled, the GUI will still use the mouse for modeless selection. This doesn't move the text cursor. See \|mouse-using\|. Also see \|'clipboard'\|. Note: When enabling the mouse in a terminal, copy/paste will use the " register if there is access to an X-server. The xterm handling of the mouse buttons can still be used by keeping the shift key pressed. Also see the 'clipboard' option. 'mousefocus' 'mousef' 'nomousefocus' 'nomousef' 'mousefocus' 'mousef' boolean (default off) global {only works in the GUI} The window that the mouse pointer is on is automatically activated. When changing the window layout or window focus in another way, the mouse pointer is moved to the window with keyboard focus. Off is the default because it makes using the pull down menus a little goofy, as a pointer transit may activate a window unintentionally. MS-Windows: Also see 'scrollfocus' for what window is scrolled when using the mouse scroll wheel. 'mousehide' 'mh' 'nomousehide' 'nomh' 'mousehide' 'mh' boolean (default on) global {only works in the GUI} When on, the mouse pointer is hidden when characters are typed. The mouse pointer is restored when the mouse is moved. 'mousemodel' 'mousem' 'mousemodel' 'mousem' string (default "extend", "popup" for Win32) global Sets the model to use for the mouse. The name mostly specifies what the right mouse button is used for: extend Right mouse button extends a selection. This works like in an xterm. popup Right mouse button pops up a menu. The shifted left mouse button extends a selection. This works like with Microsoft Windows. popup_setpos Like "popup", but the cursor will be moved to the position where the mouse was clicked, and thus the selected operation will act upon the clicked object. If clicking inside a selection, that selection will be acted upon, i.e. no cursor move. This implies of course, that right clicking outside a selection will end Visual mode. Overview of what button does what for each model: mouse extend popup(_setpos) ~ left click place cursor place cursor left drag start selection start selection shift-left search word extend selection right click extend selection popup menu (place cursor) right drag extend selection - middle click paste paste In the "popup" model the right mouse button produces a pop-up menu. You need to define this first, see \|popup-menu\|. Note that you can further refine the meaning of buttons with mappings. See \|gui-mouse-mapping\|. But mappings are NOT used for modeless selection (because that's handled in the GUI code directly). The 'mousemodel' option is set by the \|:behave\| command. 'mouseshape' 'mouses' E547 'mouseshape' 'mouses' string (default "i-r:beam,s:updown,sd:udsizing, vs:leftright,vd:lrsizing,m:no, ml:up-arrow,v:rightup-arrow") global {only available when compiled with the \|+mouseshape\| feature} This option tells Vim what the mouse pointer should look like in different modes. The option is a comma separated list of parts, much like used for 'guicursor'. Each part consist of a mode/location-list and an argument-list: mode-list:shape,mode-list:shape,.. The mode-list is a dash separated list of these modes/locations: In a normal window: ~ n Normal mode v Visual mode ve Visual mode with 'selection' "exclusive" (same as 'v', if not specified) o Operator-pending mode i Insert mode r Replace mode Others: ~ c appending to the command-line ci inserting in the command-line cr replacing in the command-line m at the 'Hit ENTER' or 'More' prompts ml idem, but cursor in the last line e any mode, pointer below last window s any mode, pointer on a status line sd any mode, while dragging a status line vs any mode, pointer on a vertical separator line vd any mode, while dragging a vertical separator line a everywhere The shape is one of the following: avail name looks like ~ w x arrow Normal mouse pointer w x blank no pointer at all (use with care!) w x beam I-beam w x updown up-down sizing arrows w x leftright left-right sizing arrows w x busy The system's usual busy pointer w x no The system's usual 'no input' pointer x udsizing indicates up-down resizing x lrsizing indicates left-right resizing x crosshair like a big thin + x hand1 black hand x hand2 white hand x pencil what you write with x question big ? x rightup-arrow arrow pointing right-up w x up-arrow arrow pointing up x <number> any X11 pointer number (see X11/cursorfont.h) The "avail" column contains a 'w' if the shape is available for Win32, x for X11. Any modes not specified or shapes not available use the normal mouse pointer. Example: > :set mouseshape=s:udsizing,m:no < will make the mouse turn to a sizing arrow over the status lines and indicate no input when the hit-enter prompt is displayed (since clicking the mouse has no effect in this state.) 'mousetime' 'mouset' 'mousetime' 'mouset' number (default 500) global Only for GUI, Win32 and Unix with xterm. Defines the maximum time in msec between two mouse clicks for the second click to be recognized as a multi click. 'mzschemedll' 'mzschemedll' string (default depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+mzscheme/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the MzScheme shared library. The default is DYNAMIC_MZSCH_DLL which was specified at compile time. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. The value must be set in the \|vimrc\| script or earlier. In the startup, before the \|load-plugins\| step. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'mzschemegcdll' 'mzschemegcdll' string (default depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+mzscheme/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the MzScheme GC shared library. The default is DYNAMIC_MZGC_DLL which was specified at compile time. The value can be equal to 'mzschemedll' if it includes the GC code. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'mzquantum' 'mzq' 'mzquantum' 'mzq' number (default 100) global {not available when compiled without the \|+mzscheme\| feature} The number of milliseconds between polls for MzScheme threads. Negative or zero value means no thread scheduling. NOTE: This option is set to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'nrformats' 'nf' 'nrformats' 'nf' string (default "bin,octal,hex", set to "bin,hex" in \|defaults.vim\|) local to buffer This defines what bases Vim will consider for numbers when using the CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands for adding to and subtracting from a number respectively; see \|CTRL-A\| for more info on these commands. alpha If included, single alphabetical characters will be incremented or decremented. This is useful for a list with a letter index a), b), etc. octal-nrformats octal If included, numbers that start with a zero will be considered to be octal. Example: Using CTRL-A on "007" results in "010". hex If included, numbers starting with "0x" or "0X" will be considered to be hexadecimal. Example: Using CTRL-X on "0x100" results in "0x0ff". bin If included, numbers starting with "0b" or "0B" will be considered to be binary. Example: Using CTRL-X on "0b1000" subtracts one, resulting in "0b0111". unsigned If included, numbers are recognized as unsigned. Thus a leading dash or negative sign won't be considered as part of the number. Examples: Using CTRL-X on "2020" in "9-2020" results in "9-2019" (without "unsigned" it would become "9-2021"). Using CTRL-A on "2020" in "9-2020" results in "9-2021" (without "unsigned" it would become "9-2019"). Using CTRL-X on "0" or CTRL-A on "18446744073709551615" (2^64 - 1) has no effect, overflow is prevented. Numbers which simply begin with a digit in the range 1-9 are always considered decimal. This also happens for numbers that are not recognized as octal or hex. 'number' 'nu' 'nonumber' 'nonu' 'number' 'nu' boolean (default off) local to window Print the line number in front of each line. When the 'n' option is excluded from 'cpoptions' a wrapped line will not use the column of line numbers (this is the default when 'compatible' isn't set). The 'numberwidth' option can be used to set the room used for the line number. When a long, wrapped line doesn't start with the first character, '-' characters are put before the number. See \|hl-LineNr\| and \|hl-CursorLineNr\| for the highlighting used for the number. number_relativenumber The 'relativenumber' option changes the displayed number to be relative to the cursor. Together with 'number' there are these four combinations (cursor in line 3): 'nonu' 'nu' 'nonu' 'nu' 'nornu' 'nornu' 'rnu' 'rnu' \|apple \| 1 apple \| 2 apple \| 2 apple \|pear \| 2 pear \| 1 pear \| 1 pear \|nobody \| 3 nobody \| 0 nobody \|3 nobody \|there \| 4 there \| 1 there \| 1 there 'numberwidth' 'nuw' 'numberwidth' 'nuw' number (Vim default: 4 Vi default: 8) local to window {only available when compiled with the \|+linebreak\| feature} Minimal number of columns to use for the line number. Only relevant when the 'number' or 'relativenumber' option is set or printing lines with a line number. Since one space is always between the number and the text, there is one less character for the number itself. The value is the minimum width. A bigger width is used when needed to fit the highest line number in the buffer respectively the number of rows in the window, depending on whether 'number' or 'relativenumber' is set. Thus with the Vim default of 4 there is room for a line number up to 999. When the buffer has 1000 lines five columns will be used. The minimum value is 1, the maximum value is 20. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'omnifunc' 'ofu' 'omnifunc' 'ofu' string (default: empty) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} This option specifies a function to be used for Insert mode omni completion with CTRL-X CTRL-O. \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O\| See \|complete-functions\| for an explanation of how the function is invoked and what it should return. This option is usually set by a filetype plugin: \|:filetype-plugin-on\| This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'opendevice' 'odev' 'noopendevice' 'noodev' 'opendevice' 'odev' boolean (default off) global {only for MS-Windows} Enable reading and writing from devices. This may get Vim stuck on a device that can be opened but doesn't actually do the I/O. Therefore it is off by default. Note that on MS-Windows editing "aux.h", "lpt1.txt" and the like also result in editing a device. 'operatorfunc' 'opfunc' 'operatorfunc' 'opfunc' string (default: empty) global This option specifies a function to be called by the \|g@\| operator. See \|:map-operator\| for more info and an example. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'osfiletype' 'oft' 'osfiletype' 'oft' string (default: "") local to buffer This option was supported on RISC OS, which has been removed. 'packpath' 'pp' 'packpath' 'pp' string (default: see 'runtimepath') Directories used to find packages. See \|packages\|. 'paragraphs' 'para' 'paragraphs' 'para' string (default "IPLPPPQPP TPHPLIPpLpItpplpipbp") global Specifies the nroff macros that separate paragraphs. These are pairs of two letters (see \|object-motions\|). 'paste' 'nopaste' 'paste' boolean (default off) global Put Vim in Paste mode. This is useful if you want to cut or copy some text from one window and paste it in Vim. This will avoid unexpected effects. Setting this option is useful when using Vim in a terminal, where Vim cannot distinguish between typed text and pasted text. In the GUI, Vim knows about pasting and will mostly do the right thing without 'paste' being set. The same is true for a terminal where Vim handles the mouse clicks itself. This option is reset when starting the GUI. Thus if you set it in your .vimrc it will work in a terminal, but not in the GUI. Setting 'paste' in the GUI has side effects: e.g., the Paste toolbar button will no longer work in Insert mode, because it uses a mapping. When the 'paste' option is switched on (also when it was already on): - mapping in Insert mode and Command-line mode is disabled - abbreviations are disabled - 'autoindent' is reset - 'expandtab' is reset - 'formatoptions' is used like it is empty - 'revins' is reset - 'ruler' is reset - 'showmatch' is reset - 'smartindent' is reset - 'smarttab' is reset - 'softtabstop' is set to 0 - 'textwidth' is set to 0 - 'wrapmargin' is set to 0 These options keep their value, but their effect is disabled: - 'cindent' - 'indentexpr' - 'lisp' NOTE: When you start editing another file while the 'paste' option is on, settings from the modelines or autocommands may change the settings again, causing trouble when pasting text. You might want to set the 'paste' option again. When the 'paste' option is reset the mentioned options are restored to the value before the moment 'paste' was switched from off to on. Resetting 'paste' before ever setting it does not have any effect. Since mapping doesn't work while 'paste' is active, you need to use the 'pastetoggle' option to toggle the 'paste' option with some key. 'pastetoggle' 'pt' 'pastetoggle' 'pt' string (default "") global When non-empty, specifies the key sequence that toggles the 'paste' option. This is like specifying a mapping: > :map {keys} :set invpaste<CR> < Where {keys} is the value of 'pastetoggle'. The difference is that it will work even when 'paste' is set. 'pastetoggle' works in Insert mode and Normal mode, but not in Command-line mode. Mappings are checked first, thus overrule 'pastetoggle'. However, when 'paste' is on mappings are ignored in Insert mode, thus you can do this: > :map <F10> :set paste<CR> :map <F11> :set nopaste<CR> :imap <F10> <C-O>:set paste<CR> :imap <F11> <nop> :set pastetoggle=<F11> < This will make <F10> start paste mode and <F11> stop paste mode. Note that typing <F10> in paste mode inserts "<F10>", since in paste mode everything is inserted literally, except the 'pastetoggle' key sequence. When the value has several bytes 'ttimeoutlen' applies. 'pex' 'patchexpr' 'patchexpr' 'pex' string (default "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+diff\| feature} Expression which is evaluated to apply a patch to a file and generate the resulting new version of the file. See \|diff-patchexpr\|. 'patchmode' 'pm' E205 E206 'patchmode' 'pm' string (default "") global When non-empty the oldest version of a file is kept. This can be used to keep the original version of a file if you are changing files in a source distribution. Only the first time that a file is written a copy of the original file will be kept. The name of the copy is the name of the original file with the string in the 'patchmode' option appended. This option should start with a dot. Use a string like ".orig" or ".org". 'backupdir' must not be empty for this to work (Detail: The backup file is renamed to the patchmode file after the new file has been successfully written, that's why it must be possible to write a backup file). If there was no file to be backed up, an empty file is created. When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a patchmode file is not made. Using 'patchmode' for compressed files appends the extension at the end (e.g., "file.gz.orig"), thus the resulting name isn't always recognized as a compressed file. Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\?[\|<>" are illegal. 'path'* 'pa' E343 E345 E347 E854 'path' 'pa' string (default on Unix: ".,/usr/include,," other systems: ".,,") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| This is a list of directories which will be searched when using the \|gf\|, [f, ]f, ^Wf, \|:find\|, \|:sfind\|, \|:tabfind\| and other commands, provided that the file being searched for has a relative path (not starting with "/", "./" or "../"). The directories in the 'path' option may be relative or absolute. - Use commas to separate directory names: > :set path=.,/usr/local/include,/usr/include < - Spaces can also be used to separate directory names (for backwards compatibility with version 3.0). To have a space in a directory name, precede it with an extra backslash, and escape the space: > :set path=.,/dir/with\\\ space < - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with an extra backslash: > :set path=.,/dir/with\\,comma < - To search relative to the directory of the current file, use: > :set path=. < - To search in the current directory use an empty string between two commas: > :set path=,, < - A directory name may end in a ':' or '/'. - Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. - When using \|netrw.vim\| URLs can be used. For example, adding "http://www.vim.org" will make ":find index.html" work. - Search upwards and downwards in a directory tree using "", "" and ";". See \|file-searching\| for info and syntax. {not available when compiled without the \|+path_extra\| feature} - Careful with '\' characters, type two to get one in the option: > :set path=.,c:\\include < Or just use '/' instead: > :set path=.,c:/include < Don't forget "." or files won't even be found in the same directory as the file! The maximum length is limited. How much depends on the system, mostly it is something like 256 or 1024 characters. You can check if all the include files are found, using the value of 'path', see \|:checkpath\|. The use of \|:set+=\| and \|:set-=\| is preferred when adding or removing directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version uses another default. To remove the current directory use: > :set path-= < To add the current directory use: > :set path+= < To use an environment variable, you probably need to replace the separator. Here is an example to append $INCL, in which directory names are separated with a semi-colon: > :let &path = &path . "," . substitute($INCL, ';', ',', 'g') < Replace the ';' with a ':' or whatever separator is used. Note that this doesn't work when $INCL contains a comma or white space. 'perldll'* 'perldll' string (default depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+perl/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the Perl shared library. The default is DYNAMIC_PERL_DLL, which was specified at compile time. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'preserveindent' 'pi' 'nopreserveindent' 'nopi' 'preserveindent' 'pi' boolean (default off) local to buffer When changing the indent of the current line, preserve as much of the indent structure as possible. Normally the indent is replaced by a series of tabs followed by spaces as required (unless \|'expandtab'\| is enabled, in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option means the indent will preserve as many existing characters as possible for indenting, and only add additional tabs or spaces as required. 'expandtab' does not apply to the preserved white space, a Tab remains a Tab. NOTE: When using ">>" multiple times the resulting indent is a mix of tabs and spaces. You might not like this. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. Also see 'copyindent'. Use \|:retab\| to clean up white space. 'previewheight' 'pvh' 'previewheight' 'pvh' number (default 12) global {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} Default height for a preview window. Used for \|:ptag\| and associated commands. Used for \|CTRL-W_}\| when no count is given. Not used when 'previewpopup' is set. 'previewpopup' 'pvp' 'previewpopup' 'pvp' string (default empty) global {not available when compiled without the \|+textprop\| or \|+quickfix\| feature} When not empty a popup window is used for commands that would open a preview window. See \|preview-popup\|. Not used for the insert completion info, add "popup" to 'completeopt' for that. 'previewwindow' 'nopreviewwindow' 'pvw' 'nopvw' E590 'previewwindow' 'pvw' boolean (default off) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} Identifies the preview window. Only one window can have this option set. It's normally not set directly, but by using one of the commands \|:ptag\|, \|:pedit\|, etc. 'printdevice' 'pdev' 'printdevice' 'pdev' string (default empty) global {only available when compiled with the \|+printer\| feature} The name of the printer to be used for \|:hardcopy\|. See \|pdev-option\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'printencoding' 'penc' 'printencoding' 'penc' string (default empty, except for some systems) global {only available when compiled with the \|+printer\| and \|+postscript\| features} Sets the character encoding used when printing. See \|penc-option\|. 'printexpr' 'pexpr' 'printexpr' 'pexpr' string (default: see below) global {only available when compiled with the \|+printer\| and \|+postscript\| features} Expression used to print the PostScript produced with \|:hardcopy\|. See \|pexpr-option\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'printfont' 'pfn' 'printfont' 'pfn' string (default "courier") global {only available when compiled with the \|+printer\| feature} The name of the font that will be used for \|:hardcopy\|. See \|pfn-option\|. 'printheader' 'pheader' 'printheader' 'pheader' string (default "%<%f%h%m%=Page %N") global {only available when compiled with the \|+printer\| feature} The format of the header produced in \|:hardcopy\| output. See \|pheader-option\|. 'printmbcharset' 'pmbcs' 'printmbcharset' 'pmbcs' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|+printer\| and \|+postscript\| features} The CJK character set to be used for CJK output from \|:hardcopy\|. See \|pmbcs-option\|. 'printmbfont' 'pmbfn' 'printmbfont' 'pmbfn' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|+printer\| and \|+postscript\| features} List of font names to be used for CJK output from \|:hardcopy\|. See \|pmbfn-option\|. 'printoptions' 'popt' 'printoptions' 'popt' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with \|+printer\| feature} List of items that control the format of the output of \|:hardcopy\|. See \|popt-option\|. 'prompt' 'noprompt' 'prompt' boolean (default on) global When on a ":" prompt is used in Ex mode. 'pumheight' 'ph' 'pumheight' 'ph' number (default 0) global Determines the maximum number of items to show in the popup menu for Insert mode completion. When zero as much space as available is used. \|ins-completion-menu\|. 'pumwidth' 'pw' 'pumwidth' 'pw' number (default 15) global Determines the minimum width to use for the popup menu for Insert mode completion. \|ins-completion-menu\|. 'pythondll' 'pythondll' string (default depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+python/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the Python 2.x shared library. The default is DYNAMIC_PYTHON_DLL, which was specified at compile time. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'pythonhome' 'pythonhome' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|+python/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the Python 2.x home directory. When 'pythonhome' and the PYTHONHOME environment variable are not set, PYTHON_HOME, which was specified at compile time, will be used for the Python 2.x home directory. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'pythonthreedll' 'pythonthreedll' string (default depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+python3/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the Python 3 shared library. The default is DYNAMIC_PYTHON3_DLL, which was specified at compile time. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'pythonthreehome' 'pythonthreehome' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|+python3/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the Python 3 home directory. When 'pythonthreehome' and the PYTHONHOME environment variable are not set, PYTHON3_HOME, which was specified at compile time, will be used for the Python 3 home directory. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'pyxversion' 'pyx' 'pyxversion' 'pyx' number (default depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+python\| or the \|+python3\| feature} Specifies the python version used for pyx* functions and commands \|python_x\|. The default value is as follows: Compiled with Default ~ \|+python\| and \|+python3\| 0 only \|+python\| 2 only \|+python3\| 3 Available values are 0, 2 and 3. If 'pyxversion' is 0, it is set to 2 or 3 after the first execution of any python2/3 commands or functions. E.g. `:py` sets to 2, and `:py3` sets to 3. `:pyx` sets it to 3 if Python 3 is available, otherwise sets to 2 if Python 2 is available. See also: \|has-pythonx\| If Vim is compiled with only \|+python\| or \|+python3\| setting 'pyxversion' has no effect. The pyx* functions and commands are always the same as the compiled version. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'quickfixtextfunc' 'qftf' 'quickfixtextfunc' 'qftf' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|+quickfix\| feature} This option specifies a function to be used to get the text to display in the quickfix and location list windows. This can be used to customize the information displayed in the quickfix or location window for each entry in the corresponding quickfix or location list. See \|quickfix-window-function\| for an explanation of how to write the function and an example. The value can be the name of a function or a lambda. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'quoteescape' 'qe' 'quoteescape' 'qe' string (default "\") local to buffer The characters that are used to escape quotes in a string. Used for objects like a', a" and a` \|a'\|. When one of the characters in this option is found inside a string, the following character will be skipped. The default value makes the text "foo\"bar\\" considered to be one string. 'readonly' 'ro' 'noreadonly' 'noro' 'readonly' 'ro' boolean (default off) local to buffer If on, writes fail unless you use a '!'. Protects you from accidentally overwriting a file. Default on when Vim is started in read-only mode ("vim -R") or when the executable is called "view". When using ":w!" the 'readonly' option is reset for the current buffer, unless the 'Z' flag is in 'cpoptions'. When using the ":view" command the 'readonly' option is set for the newly edited buffer. See 'modifiable' for disallowing changes to the buffer. 'redrawtime' 'rdt' 'redrawtime' 'rdt' number (default 2000) global {only available when compiled with the \|+reltime\| feature} The time in milliseconds for redrawing the display. This applies to searching for patterns for 'hlsearch', \|:match\| highlighting and syntax highlighting. When redrawing takes more than this many milliseconds no further matches will be highlighted. For syntax highlighting the time applies per window. When over the limit syntax highlighting is disabled until \|CTRL-L\| is used. This is used to avoid that Vim hangs when using a very complicated pattern. 'regexpengine' 're' 'regexpengine' 're' number (default 0) global This selects the default regexp engine. \|two-engines\| The possible values are: 0 automatic selection 1 old engine 2 NFA engine Note that when using the NFA engine and the pattern contains something that is not supported the pattern will not match. This is only useful for debugging the regexp engine. Using automatic selection enables Vim to switch the engine, if the default engine becomes too costly. E.g., when the NFA engine uses too many states. This should prevent Vim from hanging on a combination of a complex pattern with long text. 'relativenumber' 'rnu' 'norelativenumber' 'nornu' 'relativenumber' 'rnu' boolean (default off) local to window Show the line number relative to the line with the cursor in front of each line. Relative line numbers help you use the \|count\| you can precede some vertical motion commands (e.g. j k + -) with, without having to calculate it yourself. Especially useful in combination with other commands (e.g. y d c < > gq gw =). When the 'n' option is excluded from 'cpoptions' a wrapped line will not use the column of line numbers (this is the default when 'compatible' isn't set). The 'numberwidth' option can be used to set the room used for the line number. When a long, wrapped line doesn't start with the first character, '-' characters are put before the number. See \|hl-LineNr\| and \|hl-CursorLineNr\| for the highlighting used for the number. The number in front of the cursor line also depends on the value of 'number', see \|number_relativenumber\| for all combinations of the two options. 'remap' 'noremap' 'remap' boolean (default on) global Allows for mappings to work recursively. If you do not want this for a single entry, use the :noremap[!] command. NOTE: To avoid portability problems with Vim scripts, always keep this option at the default "on". Only switch it off when working with old Vi scripts. 'renderoptions' 'rop' 'renderoptions' 'rop' string (default: empty) global {only available when compiled with GUI and DIRECTX on MS-Windows} Select a text renderer and set its options. The options depend on the renderer.

If specified, it is simply ignored. Example: > set encoding=utf-8 set gfn=Ricty_Diminished:h12 set rop=type:directx < If select a raster font (Courier, Terminal or FixedSys which have ".fon" extension in file name) to 'guifont', it will be drawn by GDI as a fallback. NOTE: It is known that some fonts and options combination causes trouble on drawing glyphs. - 'renmode:5' and 'renmode:6' will not work with some special made fonts (True-Type fonts which includes only bitmap glyphs). - 'taamode:3' will not work with some vector fonts. NOTE: With this option, you can display colored emoji (emoticon) in Windows 8.1 or later. To display colored emoji, there are some conditions which you should notice. - If your font includes non-colored emoji already, it will be used. - If your font doesn't have emoji, the system chooses an alternative symbol font. On Windows 10, "Segoe UI Emoji" will be used. - When this alternative font didn't have fixed width glyph, emoji might be rendered beyond the bounding box of drawing cell. Other render types are currently not supported. 'report' 'report' number (default 2) global Threshold for reporting number of lines changed. When the number of changed lines is more than 'report' a message will be given for most ":" commands. If you want it always, set 'report' to 0. For the ":substitute" command the number of substitutions is used instead of the number of lines. 'restorescreen' 'rs' 'norestorescreen' 'nors' 'restorescreen' 'rs' boolean (default on) global {only in MS-Windows console version} When set, the screen contents is restored when exiting Vim. This also happens when executing external commands. For non-Windows Vim: You can set or reset the 't_ti' and 't_te' options in your .vimrc. To disable restoring: set t_ti= t_te= To enable restoring (for an xterm): set t_ti=^[7^[[r^[[?47h t_te=^[[?47l^[8 (Where ^[ is an <Esc>, type CTRL-V <Esc> to insert it) 'revins' 'ri' 'norevins' 'nori' 'revins' 'ri' boolean (default off) global {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} Inserting characters in Insert mode will work backwards. See "typing backwards" \|ins-reverse\|. This option can be toggled with the CTRL-_ command in Insert mode, when 'allowrevins' is set. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. This option is reset when 'paste' is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. 'rightleft' 'rl' 'norightleft' 'norl' 'rightleft' 'rl' boolean (default off) local to window {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} When on, display orientation becomes right-to-left, i.e., characters that are stored in the file appear from the right to the left. Using this option, it is possible to edit files for languages that are written from the right to the left such as Hebrew and Arabic. This option is per window, so it is possible to edit mixed files simultaneously, or to view the same file in both ways (this is useful whenever you have a mixed text file with both right-to-left and left-to-right strings so that both sets are displayed properly in different windows). Also see \|rileft.txt\|. 'rightleftcmd' 'rlc' 'rightleftcmd' 'rlc' string (default "search") local to window {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} Each word in this option enables the command line editing to work in right-to-left mode for a group of commands: search "/" and "?" commands This is useful for languages such as Hebrew, Arabic and Farsi. The 'rightleft' option must be set for 'rightleftcmd' to take effect. 'rubydll' 'rubydll' string (default: depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+ruby/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the Ruby shared library. The default is DYNAMIC_RUBY_DLL, which was specified at compile time. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'ruler' 'ru' 'noruler' 'noru' 'ruler' 'ru' boolean (default off, set in \|defaults.vim\|) global {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_info\| feature} Show the line and column number of the cursor position, separated by a comma. When there is room, the relative position of the displayed text in the file is shown on the far right: Top first line is visible Bot last line is visible All first and last line are visible 45% relative position in the file If 'rulerformat' is set, it will determine the contents of the ruler. Each window has its own ruler. If a window has a status line, the ruler is shown there. Otherwise it is shown in the last line of the screen. If the statusline is given by 'statusline' (i.e. not empty), this option takes precedence over 'ruler' and 'rulerformat' If the number of characters displayed is different from the number of bytes in the text (e.g., for a TAB or a multibyte character), both the text column (byte number) and the screen column are shown, separated with a dash. For an empty line "0-1" is shown. For an empty buffer the line number will also be zero: "0,0-1". This option is reset when 'paste' is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. If you don't want to see the ruler all the time but want to know where you are, use "g CTRL-G" \|g_CTRL-G\|. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'rulerformat' 'ruf' 'rulerformat' 'ruf' string (default empty) global {not available when compiled without the \|+statusline\| feature} When this option is not empty, it determines the content of the ruler string, as displayed for the 'ruler' option. The format of this option is like that of 'statusline'. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. The default ruler width is 17 characters. To make the ruler 15 characters wide, put "%15(" at the start and "%)" at the end. Example: > :set rulerformat=%15(%c%V\ %p%%%) < 'runtimepath' 'rtp' vimfiles 'runtimepath' 'rtp' string (default: Unix: "$HOME/.vim, $VIM/vimfiles, $VIMRUNTIME, $VIM/vimfiles/after, $HOME/.vim/after" Amiga: "home:vimfiles, $VIM/vimfiles, $VIMRUNTIME, $VIM/vimfiles/after, home:vimfiles/after" MS-Windows: "$HOME/vimfiles, $VIM/vimfiles, $VIMRUNTIME, $VIM/vimfiles/after, $HOME/vimfiles/after" macOS: "$VIM:vimfiles, $VIMRUNTIME, $VIM:vimfiles:after" Haiku: "$BE_USER_SETTINGS/vim, $VIM/vimfiles, $VIMRUNTIME, $VIM/vimfiles/after, $BE_USER_SETTINGS/vim/after" VMS: "sys$login:vimfiles, $VIM/vimfiles, $VIMRUNTIME, $VIM/vimfiles/after, sys$login:vimfiles/after") global This is a list of directories which will be searched for runtime files: filetype.vim filetypes by file name \|new-filetype\| scripts.vim filetypes by file contents \|new-filetype-scripts\| autoload/ automatically loaded scripts \|autoload-functions\| colors/ color scheme files \|:colorscheme\| compiler/ compiler files \|:compiler\| doc/ documentation \|write-local-help\| ftplugin/ filetype plugins \|write-filetype-plugin\| import/ files that are found by `:import` indent/ indent scripts \|indent-expression\| keymap/ key mapping files \|mbyte-keymap\| lang/ menu translations \|:menutrans\| menu.vim GUI menus \|menu.vim\| pack/ packages \|:packadd\| plugin/ plugin scripts \|write-plugin\| print/ files for printing \|postscript-print-encoding\| spell/ spell checking files \|spell\| syntax/ syntax files \|mysyntaxfile\| tutor/ files for vimtutor \|tutor\| And any other file searched for with the \|:runtime\| command. The defaults for most systems are setup to search five locations: 1. In your home directory, for your personal preferences. 2. In a system-wide Vim directory, for preferences from the system administrator. 3. In $VIMRUNTIME, for files distributed with Vim. after-directory 4. In the "after" directory in the system-wide Vim directory. This is for the system administrator to overrule or add to the distributed defaults (rarely needed) 5. In the "after" directory in your home directory. This is for personal preferences to overrule or add to the distributed defaults or system-wide settings (rarely needed). More entries are added when using \|packages\|. If it gets very long then `:set rtp` will be truncated, use `:echo &rtp` to see the full string. Note that, unlike 'path', no wildcards like "*" are allowed. Normal wildcards are allowed, but can significantly slow down searching for runtime files. For speed, use as few items as possible and avoid wildcards. See \|:runtime\|. Example: > :set runtimepath=~/vimruntime,/mygroup/vim,$VIMRUNTIME < This will use the directory "~/vimruntime" first (containing your personal Vim runtime files), then "/mygroup/vim" (shared between a group of people) and finally "$VIMRUNTIME" (the distributed runtime files). You probably should always include $VIMRUNTIME somewhere, to use the distributed runtime files. You can put a directory before $VIMRUNTIME to find files which replace a distributed runtime files. You can put a directory after $VIMRUNTIME to find files which add to distributed runtime files. When Vim is started with \|--clean\| the home directory entries are not included. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'scroll'* 'scr' 'scroll' 'scr' number (default: half the window height) local to window Number of lines to scroll with CTRL-U and CTRL-D commands. Will be set to half the number of lines in the window when the window size changes. This may happen when enabling the \|status-line\| or 'tabline' option after setting the 'scroll' option. If you give a count to the CTRL-U or CTRL-D command it will be used as the new value for 'scroll'. Reset to half the window height with ":set scroll=0". 'scrollbind' 'scb' 'noscrollbind' 'noscb' 'scrollbind' 'scb' boolean (default off) local to window See also \|scroll-binding\|. When this option is set, the current window scrolls as other scrollbind windows (windows that also have this option set) scroll. This option is useful for viewing the differences between two versions of a file, see 'diff'. See \|'scrollopt'\| for options that determine how this option should be interpreted. This option is mostly reset when splitting a window to edit another file. This means that ":split \| edit file" results in two windows with scroll-binding, but ":split file" does not. 'scrollfocus' 'scf' 'noscrollfocus' 'noscf' 'scrollfocus' 'scf' boolean (default off) global {only for MS-Windows GUI} When using the scroll wheel and this option is set, the window under the mouse pointer is scrolled. With this option off the current window is scrolled. Systems other than MS-Windows always behave like this option is on. 'scrolljump' 'sj' 'scrolljump' 'sj' number (default 1) global Minimal number of lines to scroll when the cursor gets off the screen (e.g., with "j"). Not used for scroll commands (e.g., CTRL-E, CTRL-D). Useful if your terminal scrolls very slowly. When set to a negative number from -1 to -100 this is used as the percentage of the window height. Thus -50 scrolls half the window height. NOTE: This option is set to 1 when 'compatible' is set. 'scrolloff' 'so' 'scrolloff' 'so' number (default 0, set to 5 in \|defaults.vim\|) global or local to window \|global-local\| Minimal number of screen lines to keep above and below the cursor. This will make some context visible around where you are working. If you set it to a very large value (999) the cursor line will always be in the middle of the window (except at the start or end of the file or when long lines wrap). After using the local value, go back the global value with one of these two: > setlocal scrolloff< setlocal scrolloff=-1 < For scrolling horizontally see 'sidescrolloff'. NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. 'scrollopt' 'sbo' 'scrollopt' 'sbo' string (default "ver,jump") global This is a comma-separated list of words that specifies how 'scrollbind' windows should behave. 'sbo' stands for ScrollBind Options. The following words are available: ver Bind vertical scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows hor Bind horizontal scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows jump Applies to the offset between two windows for vertical scrolling. This offset is the difference in the first displayed line of the bound windows. When moving around in a window, another 'scrollbind' window may reach a position before the start or after the end of the buffer. The offset is not changed though, when moving back the 'scrollbind' window will try to scroll to the desired position when possible. When now making that window the current one, two things can be done with the relative offset: 1. When "jump" is not included, the relative offset is adjusted for the scroll position in the new current window. When going back to the other window, the new relative offset will be used. 2. When "jump" is included, the other windows are scrolled to keep the same relative offset. When going back to the other window, it still uses the same relative offset. Also see \|scroll-binding\|. When 'diff' mode is active there always is vertical scroll binding, even when "ver" isn't there. 'sections' 'sect' 'sections' 'sect' string (default "SHNHH HUnhsh") global Specifies the nroff macros that separate sections. These are pairs of two letters (See \|object-motions\|). The default makes a section start at the nroff macros ".SH", ".NH", ".H", ".HU", ".nh" and ".sh". 'secure' 'nosecure' E523 'secure' boolean (default off) global When on, ":autocmd", shell and write commands are not allowed in ".vimrc" and ".exrc" in the current directory and map commands are displayed. Switch it off only if you know that you will not run into problems, or when the 'exrc' option is off. On Unix this option is only used if the ".vimrc" or ".exrc" is not owned by you. This can be dangerous if the systems allows users to do a "chown". You better set 'secure' at the end of your ~/.vimrc then. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'selection' 'sel' 'selection' 'sel' string (default "inclusive") global This option defines the behavior of the selection. It is only used in Visual and Select mode. Possible values: value past line inclusive ~ old no yes inclusive yes yes exclusive yes no "past line" means that the cursor is allowed to be positioned one character past the line. "inclusive" means that the last character of the selection is included in an operation. For example, when "x" is used to delete the selection. When "old" is used and 'virtualedit' allows the cursor to move past the end of line the line break still isn't included. Note that when "exclusive" is used and selecting from the end backwards, you cannot include the last character of a line, when starting in Normal mode and 'virtualedit' empty. The 'selection' option is set by the \|:behave\| command. 'selectmode' 'slm' 'selectmode' 'slm' string (default "") global This is a comma separated list of words, which specifies when to start Select mode instead of Visual mode, when a selection is started. Possible values: mouse when using the mouse key when using shifted special keys cmd when using "v", "V" or CTRL-V See \|Select-mode\|. The 'selectmode' option is set by the \|:behave\| command. 'sessionoptions' 'ssop' 'sessionoptions' 'ssop' string (default: "blank,buffers,curdir,folds, help,options,tabpages,winsize,terminal") global {not available when compiled without the \|+mksession\| feature} Changes the effect of the \|:mksession\| command. It is a comma separated list of words. Each word enables saving and restoring something: word save and restore ~ blank empty windows buffers hidden and unloaded buffers, not just those in windows curdir the current directory folds manually created folds, opened/closed folds and local fold options globals global variables that start with an uppercase letter and contain at least one lowercase letter. Only String and Number types are stored. help the help window localoptions options and mappings local to a window or buffer (not global values for local options) options all options and mappings (also global values for local options) resize size of the Vim window: 'lines' and 'columns' sesdir the directory in which the session file is located will become the current directory (useful with projects accessed over a network from different systems) slash backslashes in file names replaced with forward slashes tabpages all tab pages; without this only the current tab page is restored, so that you can make a session for each tab page separately terminal include terminal windows where the command can be restored unix with Unix end-of-line format (single <NL>), even when on Windows or DOS winpos position of the whole Vim window winsize window sizes Don't include both "curdir" and "sesdir". When neither "curdir" nor "sesdir" is included, file names are stored with absolute paths. "slash" and "unix" are useful on Windows when sharing session files with Unix. The Unix version of Vim cannot source dos format scripts, but the Windows version of Vim can source unix format scripts. 'shell' 'sh' E91 'shell' 'sh' string (default $SHELL or "sh", Win32: "cmd.exe") global Name of the shell to use for ! and :! commands. When changing the value also check these options: 'shelltype', 'shellpipe', 'shellslash' 'shellredir', 'shellquote', 'shellxquote' and 'shellcmdflag'. It is allowed to give an argument to the command, e.g. "csh -f". See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. If the name of the shell contains a space, you need to enclose it in quotes and escape the space. Example with quotes: > :set shell=\"c:\program\ files\unix\sh.exe\"\ -f < Note the backslash before each quote (to avoid starting a comment) and each space (to avoid ending the option value). Also note that the "-f" is not inside the quotes, because it is not part of the command name. Vim automagically recognizes the backslashes that are path separators. Example with escaped space (Vim will do this when initializing the option from $SHELL): > :set shell=/bin/with\\\ space/sh < The resulting value of 'shell' is "/bin/with\ space/sh", two backslashes are consumed by `:set`. Under MS-Windows, when the executable ends in ".com" it must be included. Thus setting the shell to "command.com" or "4dos.com" works, but "command" and "4dos" do not work for all commands (e.g., filtering). For unknown reasons, when using "4dos.com" the current directory is changed to "C:\". To avoid this set 'shell' like this: > :set shell=command.com\ /c\ 4dos < This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'shellcmdflag' 'shcf' 'shellcmdflag' 'shcf' string (default: "-c"; Win32, when 'shell' does not contain "sh" somewhere: "/c") global Flag passed to the shell to execute "!" and ":!" commands; e.g., "bash.exe -c ls" or "cmd.exe /c dir". For MS-Windows, the default is set according to the value of 'shell', to reduce the need to set this option by the user. On Unix it can have more than one flag. Each white space separated part is passed as an argument to the shell command. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. Also see \|dos-shell\| for MS-Windows. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'shellpipe' 'sp' 'shellpipe' 'sp' string (default ">", ">%s 2>&1", "\| tee", "\|& tee" or "2>&1\| tee") global {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} String to be used to put the output of the ":make" command in the error file. See also \|:make_makeprg\|. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary (the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value of this option). For the Amiga the default is ">". For MS-Windows the default is ">%s 2>&1". The output is directly saved in a file and not echoed to the screen. For Unix the default is "\| tee". The stdout of the compiler is saved in a file and echoed to the screen. If the 'shell' option is "csh" or "tcsh" after initializations, the default becomes "\|& tee". If the 'shell' option is "sh", "ksh", "mksh", "pdksh", "zsh", "zsh-beta", "bash" or "fish" the default becomes "2>&1\| tee". This means that stderr is also included. Before using the 'shell' option a path is removed, thus "/bin/sh" uses "sh". The initialization of this option is done after reading the ".vimrc" and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set there, the 'shellpipe' option changes automatically, unless it was explicitly set before. When 'shellpipe' is set to an empty string, no redirection of the ":make" output will be done. This is useful if you use a 'makeprg' that writes to 'makeef' by itself. If you want no piping, but do want to include the 'makeef', set 'shellpipe' to a single space. Don't forget to precede the space with a backslash: ":set sp=\ ". In the future pipes may be used for filtering and this option will become obsolete (at least for Unix). This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'shellquote' 'shq' 'shellquote' 'shq' string (default: ""; Win32, when 'shell' contains "sh" somewhere: "\"") global Quoting character(s), put around the command passed to the shell, for the "!" and ":!" commands. The redirection is kept outside of the quoting. See 'shellxquote' to include the redirection. It's probably not useful to set both options. This is an empty string by default. Only known to be useful for third-party shells on MS-Windows-like systems, such as the MKS Korn Shell or bash, where it should be "\"". The default is adjusted according the value of 'shell', to reduce the need to set this option by the user. See \|dos-shell\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'shellredir' 'srr' 'shellredir' 'srr' string (default ">", ">&" or ">%s 2>&1") global String to be used to put the output of a filter command in a temporary file. See also \|:!\|. See \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary (the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value of this option). The default is ">". For Unix, if the 'shell' option is "csh" or "tcsh" during initializations, the default becomes ">&". If the 'shell' option is "sh", "ksh", "mksh", "pdksh", "zsh", "zsh-beta", "bash" or "fish", the default becomes ">%s 2>&1". This means that stderr is also included. For Win32, the Unix checks are done and additionally "cmd" is checked for, which makes the default ">%s 2>&1". Also, the same names with ".exe" appended are checked for. The initialization of this option is done after reading the ".vimrc" and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set there, the 'shellredir' option changes automatically unless it was explicitly set before. In the future pipes may be used for filtering and this option will become obsolete (at least for Unix). This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'shellslash' 'ssl' 'noshellslash' 'nossl' 'shellslash' 'ssl' boolean (default off) global {only for MS-Windows} When set, a forward slash is used when expanding file names. This is useful when a Unix-like shell is used instead of cmd.exe. Backward slashes can still be typed, but they are changed to forward slashes by Vim. Note that setting or resetting this option has no effect for some existing file names, thus this option needs to be set before opening any file for best results. This might change in the future. 'shellslash' only works when a backslash can be used as a path separator. To test if this is so use: > if exists('+shellslash') < Also see 'completeslash'. 'shelltemp' 'stmp' 'noshelltemp' 'nostmp' 'shelltemp' 'stmp' boolean (Vi default off, Vim default on) global When on, use temp files for shell commands. When off use a pipe. When using a pipe is not possible temp files are used anyway. Currently a pipe is only supported on Unix and MS-Windows 2K and later. You can check it with: > :if has("filterpipe") < The advantage of using a pipe is that nobody can read the temp file and the 'shell' command does not need to support redirection. The advantage of using a temp file is that the file type and encoding can be detected. The \|FilterReadPre\|, \|FilterReadPost\| and \|FilterWritePre\|, \|FilterWritePost\| autocommands event are not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. The `system()` function does not respect this option and always uses temp files. NOTE: This option is set to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'shelltype' 'st' 'shelltype' 'st' number (default 0) global {only for the Amiga} On the Amiga this option influences the way how the commands work which use a shell. 0 and 1: always use the shell 2 and 3: use the shell only to filter lines 4 and 5: use shell only for ':sh' command When not using the shell, the command is executed directly. 0 and 2: use "shell 'shellcmdflag' cmd" to start external commands 1 and 3: use "shell cmd" to start external commands 'shellxescape' 'sxe' 'shellxescape' 'sxe' string (default: ""; for MS-Windows: "\"&\|<>()@^") global When 'shellxquote' is set to "(" then the characters listed in this option will be escaped with a '^' character. This makes it possible to execute most external commands with cmd.exe. 'shellxquote' 'sxq' 'shellxquote' 'sxq' string (default: ""; for Win32, when 'shell' is cmd.exe: "(" for Win32, when 'shell' contains "sh" somewhere: "\"" for Unix, when using system(): "\"") global Quoting character(s), put around the command passed to the shell, for the "!" and ":!" commands. Includes the redirection. See 'shellquote' to exclude the redirection. It's probably not useful to set both options. When the value is '(' then ')' is appended. When the value is '"(' then ')"' is appended. When the value is '(' then also see 'shellxescape'. This is an empty string by default on most systems, but is known to be useful for on Win32 version, either for cmd.exe which automatically strips off the first and last quote on a command, or 3rd-party shells such as the MKS Korn Shell or bash, where it should be "\"". The default is adjusted according the value of 'shell', to reduce the need to set this option by the user. See \|dos-shell\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'shiftround' 'sr' 'noshiftround' 'nosr' 'shiftround' 'sr' boolean (default off) global Round indent to multiple of 'shiftwidth'. Applies to > and < commands. CTRL-T and CTRL-D in Insert mode always round the indent to a multiple of 'shiftwidth' (this is Vi compatible). NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'shiftwidth' 'sw' 'shiftwidth' 'sw' number (default 8) local to buffer Number of spaces to use for each step of (auto)indent. Used for \|'cindent'\|, \|>>\|, \|<<\|, etc. When zero the 'ts' value will be used. Use the \|shiftwidth()\| function to get the effective shiftwidth value. 'shortmess' 'shm' 'shortmess' 'shm' string (Vim default "filnxtToOS", Vi default: "S", POSIX default: "AS") global This option helps to avoid all the \|hit-enter\| prompts caused by file messages, for example with CTRL-G, and to avoid some other messages. It is a list of flags: flag meaning when present ~ f use "(3 of 5)" instead of "(file 3 of 5)" i use "[noeol]" instead of "[Incomplete last line]" l use "999L, 888B" instead of "999 lines, 888 bytes" m use "[+]" instead of "[Modified]" n use "[New]" instead of "[New File]" r use "[RO]" instead of "[readonly]" w use "[w]" instead of "written" for file write message and "[a]" instead of "appended" for ':w >> file' command x use "[dos]" instead of "[dos format]", "[unix]" instead of "[unix format]" and "[mac]" instead of "[mac format]". a all of the above abbreviations o overwrite message for writing a file with subsequent message for reading a file (useful for ":wn" or when 'autowrite' on) O message for reading a file overwrites any previous message. Also for quickfix message (e.g., ":cn"). s don't give "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP" or "search hit TOP, continuing at BOTTOM" messages; when using the search count do not show "W" after the count message (see S below) t truncate file message at the start if it is too long to fit on the command-line, "<" will appear in the left most column. Ignored in Ex mode. T truncate other messages in the middle if they are too long to fit on the command line. "..." will appear in the middle. Ignored in Ex mode. W don't give "written" or "[w]" when writing a file A don't give the "ATTENTION" message when an existing swap file is found. I don't give the intro message when starting Vim \|:intro\|. c don't give \|ins-completion-menu\| messages. For example, "-- XXX completion (YYY)", "match 1 of 2", "The only match", "Pattern not found", "Back at original", etc. q use "recording" instead of "recording @a" F don't give the file info when editing a file, like `:silent` was used for the command; note that this also affects messages from autocommands S do not show search count message when searching, e.g. "[1/5]" This gives you the opportunity to avoid that a change between buffers requires you to hit <Enter>, but still gives as useful a message as possible for the space available. To get the whole message that you would have got with 'shm' empty, use ":file!" Useful values: shm= No abbreviation of message. shm=a Abbreviation, but no loss of information. shm=at Abbreviation, and truncate message when necessary. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'shortname' 'sn' 'noshortname' 'nosn' 'shortname' 'sn' boolean (default off) local to buffer Filenames are assumed to be 8 characters plus one extension of 3 characters. Multiple dots in file names are not allowed. When this option is on, dots in file names are replaced with underscores when adding an extension (".~" or ".swp"). This option is useful when editing files on an MS-DOS compatible filesystem, e.g., messydos or crossdos. 'showbreak' 'sbr' E595 'showbreak' 'sbr' string (default "") global or local to window \|global-local\| {not available when compiled without the \|+linebreak\| feature} String to put at the start of lines that have been wrapped. Useful values are "> " or "+++ ": > :set showbreak=>\ < Note the backslash to escape the trailing space. It's easier like this: > :let &showbreak = '+++ ' < Only printable single-cell characters are allowed, excluding <Tab> and comma (in a future version the comma might be used to separate the part that is shown at the end and at the start of a line). The characters are highlighted according to the '@' flag in 'highlight'. Note that tabs after the showbreak will be displayed differently. If you want the 'showbreak' to appear in between line numbers, add the "n" flag to 'cpoptions'. A window-local value overrules a global value. If the global value is set and you want no value in the current window use NONE: > :setlocal showbreak=NONE < 'showcmd' 'sc' 'noshowcmd' 'nosc' 'showcmd' 'sc' boolean (Vim default: on, off for Unix, Vi default: off, set in \|defaults.vim\|) global {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_info\| feature} Show (partial) command in the last line of the screen. Set this option off if your terminal is slow. In Visual mode the size of the selected area is shown: - When selecting characters within a line, the number of characters. If the number of bytes is different it is also displayed: "2-6" means two characters and six bytes. - When selecting more than one line, the number of lines. - When selecting a block, the size in screen characters: {lines}x{columns}. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'showfulltag' 'sft' 'noshowfulltag' 'nosft' 'showfulltag' 'sft' boolean (default off) global When completing a word in insert mode (see \|ins-completion\|) from the tags file, show both the tag name and a tidied-up form of the search pattern (if there is one) as possible matches. Thus, if you have matched a C function, you can see a template for what arguments are required (coding style permitting). Note that this doesn't work well together with having "longest" in 'completeopt', because the completion from the search pattern may not match the typed text. 'showmatch' 'sm' 'noshowmatch' 'nosm' 'showmatch' 'sm' boolean (default off) global When a bracket is inserted, briefly jump to the matching one. The jump is only done if the match can be seen on the screen. The time to show the match can be set with 'matchtime'. A Beep is given if there is no match (no matter if the match can be seen or not). This option is reset when 'paste' is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. When the 'm' flag is not included in 'cpoptions', typing a character will immediately move the cursor back to where it belongs. See the "sm" field in 'guicursor' for setting the cursor shape and blinking when showing the match. The 'matchpairs' option can be used to specify the characters to show matches for. 'rightleft' and 'revins' are used to look for opposite matches. Also see the matchparen plugin for highlighting the match when moving around \|pi_paren.txt\|. Note: Use of the short form is rated PG. 'showmode' 'smd' 'noshowmode' 'nosmd' 'showmode' 'smd' boolean (Vim default: on, Vi default: off) global If in Insert, Replace or Visual mode put a message on the last line. Use the 'M' flag in 'highlight' to set the type of highlighting for this message. When \|XIM\| may be used the message will include "XIM". But this doesn't mean XIM is really active, especially when 'imactivatekey' is not set. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'showtabline' 'stal' 'showtabline' 'stal' number (default 1) global The value of this option specifies when the line with tab page labels will be displayed: 0: never 1: only if there are at least two tab pages 2: always This is both for the GUI and non-GUI implementation of the tab pages line. See \|tab-page\| for more information about tab pages. 'sidescroll' 'ss' 'sidescroll' 'ss' number (default 0) global The minimal number of columns to scroll horizontally. Used only when the 'wrap' option is off and the cursor is moved off of the screen. When it is zero the cursor will be put in the middle of the screen. When using a slow terminal set it to a large number or 0. When using a fast terminal use a small number or 1. Not used for "zh" and "zl" commands. 'sidescrolloff' 'siso' 'sidescrolloff' 'siso' number (default 0) global or local to window \|global-local\| The minimal number of screen columns to keep to the left and to the right of the cursor if 'nowrap' is set. Setting this option to a value greater than 0 while having \|'sidescroll'\| also at a non-zero value makes some context visible in the line you are scrolling in horizontally (except at beginning of the line). Setting this option to a large value (like 999) has the effect of keeping the cursor horizontally centered in the window, as long as one does not come too close to the beginning of the line. After using the local value, go back the global value with one of these two: > setlocal sidescrolloff< setlocal sidescrolloff=-1 < NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. Example: Try this together with 'sidescroll' and 'listchars' as in the following example to never allow the cursor to move onto the "extends" character: > :set nowrap sidescroll=1 listchars=extends:>,precedes:< :set sidescrolloff=1 < 'signcolumn' 'scl' 'signcolumn' 'scl' string (default "auto") local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+signs\| feature} Whether or not to draw the signcolumn. Valid values are: "auto" only when there is a sign to display "no" never "yes" always "number" display signs in the 'number' column. If the number column is not present, then behaves like "auto". 'smartcase' 'scs' 'nosmartcase' 'noscs' 'smartcase' 'scs' boolean (default off) global Override the 'ignorecase' option if the search pattern contains upper case characters. Only used when the search pattern is typed and 'ignorecase' option is on. Used for the commands "/", "?", "n", "N", ":g" and ":s". Not used for "", "#", "gd", tag search, etc. After "" and "#" you can make 'smartcase' used by doing a "/" command, recalling the search pattern from history and hitting <Enter>. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'smartindent' 'si' 'nosmartindent' 'nosi' 'smartindent' 'si' boolean (default off) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+smartindent\| feature} Do smart autoindenting when starting a new line. Works for C-like programs, but can also be used for other languages. 'cindent' does something like this, works better in most cases, but is more strict, see \|C-indenting\|. When 'cindent' is on or 'indentexpr' is set, setting 'si' has no effect. 'indentexpr' is a more advanced alternative. Normally 'autoindent' should also be on when using 'smartindent'. An indent is automatically inserted: - After a line ending in '{'. - After a line starting with a keyword from 'cinwords'. - Before a line starting with '}' (only with the "O" command). When typing '}' as the first character in a new line, that line is given the same indent as the matching '{'. When typing '#' as the first character in a new line, the indent for that line is removed, the '#' is put in the first column. The indent is restored for the next line. If you don't want this, use this mapping: ":inoremap # X^H#", where ^H is entered with CTRL-V CTRL-H. When using the ">>" command, lines starting with '#' are not shifted right. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. This option is reset when 'paste' is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. 'smarttab' 'sta' 'nosmarttab' 'nosta' 'smarttab' 'sta' boolean (default off) global When on, a <Tab> in front of a line inserts blanks according to 'shiftwidth'. 'tabstop' or 'softtabstop' is used in other places. A <BS> will delete a 'shiftwidth' worth of space at the start of the line. When off, a <Tab> always inserts blanks according to 'tabstop' or 'softtabstop'. 'shiftwidth' is only used for shifting text left or right \|shift-left-right\|. What gets inserted (a <Tab> or spaces) depends on the 'expandtab' option. Also see \|ins-expandtab\|. When 'expandtab' is not set, the number of spaces is minimized by using <Tab>s. This option is reset when 'paste' is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'softtabstop' 'sts' 'softtabstop' 'sts' number (default 0) local to buffer Number of spaces that a <Tab> counts for while performing editing operations, like inserting a <Tab> or using <BS>. It "feels" like <Tab>s are being inserted, while in fact a mix of spaces and <Tab>s is used. This is useful to keep the 'ts' setting at its standard value of 8, while being able to edit like it is set to 'sts'. However, commands like "x" still work on the actual characters. When 'sts' is zero, this feature is off. When 'sts' is negative, the value of 'shiftwidth' is used. 'softtabstop' is set to 0 when the 'paste' option is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. See also \|ins-expandtab\|. When 'expandtab' is not set, the number of spaces is minimized by using <Tab>s. The 'L' flag in 'cpoptions' changes how tabs are used when 'list' is set. NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. If Vim is compiled with the \|+vartabs\| feature then the value of 'softtabstop' will be ignored if \|'varsofttabstop'\| is set to anything other than an empty string. 'spell' 'nospell' 'spell' boolean (default off) local to window {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} When on spell checking will be done. See \|spell\|. The languages are specified with 'spelllang'. 'spellcapcheck' 'spc' 'spellcapcheck' 'spc' string (default "[.?!]\_[\])'" \t]\+") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} Pattern to locate the end of a sentence. The following word will be checked to start with a capital letter. If not then it is highlighted with SpellCap \|hl-SpellCap\| (unless the word is also badly spelled). When this check is not wanted make this option empty. Only used when 'spell' is set. Be careful with special characters, see \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes. To set this option automatically depending on the language, see \|set-spc-auto\|. 'spellfile' 'spf' 'spellfile' 'spf' string (default empty) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} Name of the word list file where words are added for the \|zg\| and \|zw\| commands. It must end in ".{encoding}.add". You need to include the path, otherwise the file is placed in the current directory. E765 It may also be a comma separated list of names. A count before the \|zg\| and \|zw\| commands can be used to access each. This allows using a personal word list file and a project word list file. When a word is added while this option is empty Vim will set it for you: Using the first directory in 'runtimepath' that is writable. If there is no "spell" directory yet it will be created. For the file name the first language name that appears in 'spelllang' is used, ignoring the region. The resulting ".spl" file will be used for spell checking, it does not have to appear in 'spelllang'. Normally one file is used for all regions, but you can add the region name if you want to. However, it will then only be used when 'spellfile' is set to it, for entries in 'spelllang' only files without region name will be found. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'spelllang' 'spl' 'spelllang' 'spl' string (default "en") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} A comma separated list of word list names. When the 'spell' option is on spellchecking will be done for these languages. Example: > set spelllang=en_us,nl,medical < This means US English, Dutch and medical words are recognized. Words that are not recognized will be highlighted. The word list name must consist of alphanumeric characters, a dash or an underscore. It should not include a comma or dot. Using a dash is recommended to separate the two letter language name from a specification. Thus "en-rare" is used for rare English words. A region name must come last and have the form "_xx", where "xx" is the two-letter, lower case region name. You can use more than one region by listing them: "en_us,en_ca" supports both US and Canadian English, but not words specific for Australia, New Zealand or Great Britain. (Note: currently en_au and en_nz dictionaries are older than en_ca, en_gb and en_us). If the name "cjk" is included East Asian characters are excluded from spell checking. This is useful when editing text that also has Asian words. E757 As a special case the name of a .spl file can be given as-is. The first "_xx" in the name is removed and used as the region name (_xx is an underscore, two letters and followed by a non-letter). This is mainly for testing purposes. You must make sure the correct encoding is used, Vim doesn't check it. When 'encoding' is set the word lists are reloaded. Thus it's a good idea to set 'spelllang' after setting 'encoding' to avoid loading the files twice. How the related spell files are found is explained here: \|spell-load\|. If the \|spellfile.vim\| plugin is active and you use a language name for which Vim cannot find the .spl file in 'runtimepath' the plugin will ask you if you want to download the file. After this option has been set successfully, Vim will source the files "spell/LANG.vim" in 'runtimepath'. "LANG" is the value of 'spelllang' up to the first character that is not an ASCII letter or number and not a dash. Also see \|set-spc-auto\|. 'spelloptions' 'spo' 'spelloptions' 'spo' string (default "") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} A comma separated list of options for spell checking: camel When a word is CamelCased, assume "Cased" is a separate word: every upper-case character in a word that comes after a lower case character indicates the start of a new word. 'spellsuggest' 'sps' 'spellsuggest' 'sps' string (default "best") global {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} Methods used for spelling suggestions. Both for the \|z=\| command and the \|spellsuggest()\| function. This is a comma-separated list of items: best Internal method that works best for English. Finds changes like "fast" and uses a bit of sound-a-like scoring to improve the ordering. double Internal method that uses two methods and mixes the results. The first method is "fast", the other method computes how much the suggestion sounds like the bad word. That only works when the language specifies sound folding. Can be slow and doesn't always give better results. fast Internal method that only checks for simple changes: character inserts/deletes/swaps. Works well for simple typing mistakes. {number} The maximum number of suggestions listed for \|z=\|. Not used for \|spellsuggest()\|. The number of suggestions is never more than the value of 'lines' minus two. file:{filename} Read file {filename}, which must have two columns, separated by a slash. The first column contains the bad word, the second column the suggested good word. Example: theribal/terrible ~ Use this for common mistakes that do not appear at the top of the suggestion list with the internal methods. Lines without a slash are ignored, use this for comments. The word in the second column must be correct, otherwise it will not be used. Add the word to an ".add" file if it is currently flagged as a spelling mistake. The file is used for all languages. expr:{expr} Evaluate expression {expr}. Use a function to avoid trouble with spaces. \|v:val\| holds the badly spelled word. The expression must evaluate to a List of Lists, each with a suggestion and a score. Example: [['the', 33], ['that', 44]] ~ Set 'verbose' and use \|z=\| to see the scores that the internal methods use. A lower score is better. This may invoke \|spellsuggest()\| if you temporarily set 'spellsuggest' to exclude the "expr:" part. Errors are silently ignored, unless you set the 'verbose' option to a non-zero value. Only one of "best", "double" or "fast" may be used. The others may appear several times in any order. Example: > :set sps=file:~/.vim/sugg,best,expr:MySuggest() < This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'splitbelow' 'sb' 'nosplitbelow' 'nosb' 'splitbelow' 'sb' boolean (default off) global When on, splitting a window will put the new window below the current one. \|:split\| 'splitright' 'spr' 'nosplitright' 'nospr' 'splitright' 'spr' boolean (default off) global When on, splitting a window will put the new window right of the current one. \|:vsplit\| 'startofline' 'sol' 'nostartofline' 'nosol' 'startofline' 'sol' boolean (default on) global When "on" the commands listed below move the cursor to the first non-blank of the line. When off the cursor is kept in the same column (if possible). This applies to the commands: CTRL-D, CTRL-U, CTRL-B, CTRL-F, "G", "H", "M", "L", gg, and to the commands "d", "<<" and ">>" with a linewise operator, with "%" with a count and to buffer changing commands (CTRL-^, :bnext, :bNext, etc.). Also for an Ex command that only has a line number, e.g., ":25" or ":+". In case of buffer changing commands the cursor is placed at the column where it was the last time the buffer was edited. NOTE: This option is set when 'compatible' is set. 'statusline' 'stl' E540 E542 'statusline' 'stl' string (default empty) global or local to window \|global-local\| {not available when compiled without the \|+statusline\| feature} When nonempty, this option determines the content of the status line. Also see \|status-line\|. The option consists of printf style '%' items interspersed with normal text. Each status line item is of the form: %-0{minwid}.{maxwid}{item} All fields except the {item} are optional. A single percent sign can be given as "%%". When the option starts with "%!" then it is used as an expression, evaluated and the result is used as the option value. Example: > :set statusline=%!MyStatusLine() < The g:statusline_winid variable will be set to the \|window-ID\| of the window that the status line belongs to. The result can contain %{} items that will be evaluated too. Note that the "%!" expression is evaluated in the context of the current window and buffer, while %{} items are evaluated in the context of the window that the statusline belongs to. When there is error while evaluating the option then it will be made empty to avoid further errors. Otherwise screen updating would loop. Note that the only effect of 'ruler' when this option is set (and 'laststatus' is 2) is controlling the output of \|CTRL-G\|. field meaning ~ - Left justify the item. The default is right justified when minwid is larger than the length of the item. 0 Leading zeroes in numeric items. Overridden by '-'. minwid Minimum width of the item, padding as set by '-' & '0'. Value must be 50 or less. maxwid Maximum width of the item. Truncation occurs with a '<' on the left for text items. Numeric items will be shifted down to maxwid-2 digits followed by '>'number where number is the amount of missing digits, much like an exponential notation. item A one letter code as described below. Following is a description of the possible statusline items. The second character in "item" is the type: N for number S for string F for flags as described below - not applicable item meaning ~ f S Path to the file in the buffer, as typed or relative to current directory. F S Full path to the file in the buffer. t S File name (tail) of file in the buffer. m F Modified flag, text is "[+]"; "[-]" if 'modifiable' is off. M F Modified flag, text is ",+" or ",-". r F Readonly flag, text is "[RO]". R F Readonly flag, text is ",RO". h F Help buffer flag, text is "[help]". H F Help buffer flag, text is ",HLP". w F Preview window flag, text is "[Preview]". W F Preview window flag, text is ",PRV". y F Type of file in the buffer, e.g., "[vim]". See 'filetype'. Y F Type of file in the buffer, e.g., ",VIM". See 'filetype'. q S "[Quickfix List]", "[Location List]" or empty. k S Value of "b:keymap_name" or 'keymap' when \|:lmap\| mappings are being used: "<keymap>" n N Buffer number. b N Value of character under cursor. B N As above, in hexadecimal. o N Byte number in file of byte under cursor, first byte is 1. Mnemonic: Offset from start of file (with one added) {not available when compiled without \|+byte_offset\| feature} O N As above, in hexadecimal. N N Printer page number. (Only works in the 'printheader' option.) l N Line number. L N Number of lines in buffer. c N Column number (byte index). v N Virtual column number (screen column). V N Virtual column number as -{num}. Not displayed if equal to 'c'. p N Percentage through file in lines as in \|CTRL-G\|. P S Percentage through file of displayed window. This is like the percentage described for 'ruler'. Always 3 in length, unless translated. a S Argument list status as in default title. ({current} of {max}) Empty if the argument file count is zero or one. { NF Evaluate expression between '%{' and '}' and substitute result. Note that there is no '%' before the closing '}'. The expression cannot contain a '}' character, call a function to work around that. See \|stl-%{\| below. ( - Start of item group. Can be used for setting the width and alignment of a section. Must be followed by %) somewhere. ) - End of item group. No width fields allowed. T N For 'tabline': start of tab page N label. Use %T after the last label. This information is used for mouse clicks. X N For 'tabline': start of close tab N label. Use %X after the label, e.g.: %3Xclose%X. Use %999X for a "close current tab" mark. This information is used for mouse clicks. < - Where to truncate line if too long. Default is at the start. No width fields allowed. = - Separation point between left and right aligned items. No width fields allowed. # - Set highlight group. The name must follow and then a # again. Thus use %#HLname# for highlight group HLname. The same highlighting is used, also for the statusline of non-current windows. * - Set highlight group to User{N}, where {N} is taken from the minwid field, e.g. %1. Restore normal highlight with % or %0. The difference between User{N} and StatusLine will be applied to StatusLineNC for the statusline of non-current windows. The number N must be between 1 and 9. See \|hl-User1..9\| When displaying a flag, Vim removes the leading comma, if any, when that flag comes right after plaintext. This will make a nice display when flags are used like in the examples below. When all items in a group becomes an empty string (i.e. flags that are not set) and a minwid is not set for the group, the whole group will become empty. This will make a group like the following disappear completely from the statusline when none of the flags are set. > :set statusline=...%(\ [%M%R%H]%)... < Beware that an expression is evaluated each and every time the status line is displayed. stl-%{* g:actual_curbuf g:actual_curwin While evaluating %{} the current buffer and current window will be set temporarily to that of the window (and buffer) whose statusline is currently being drawn. The expression will evaluate in this context. The variable "g:actual_curbuf" is set to the `bufnr()` number of the real current buffer and "g:actual_curwin" to the \|window-ID\| of the real current window. These values are strings. The 'statusline' option will be evaluated in the \|sandbox\| if set from a modeline, see \|sandbox-option\|. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while evaluating 'statusline' \|textlock\|. If the statusline is not updated when you want it (e.g., after setting a variable that's used in an expression), you can force an update by setting an option without changing its value. Example: > :let &ro = &ro < A result of all digits is regarded a number for display purposes. Otherwise the result is taken as flag text and applied to the rules described above. Watch out for errors in expressions. They may render Vim unusable! If you are stuck, hold down ':' or 'Q' to get a prompt, then quit and edit your .vimrc or whatever with "vim --clean" to get it right. Examples: Emulate standard status line with 'ruler' set > :set statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P < Similar, but add ASCII value of char under the cursor (like "ga") > :set statusline=%<%f%h%m%r%=%b\ 0x%B\ \ %l,%c%V\ %P < Display byte count and byte value, modified flag in red. > :set statusline=%<%f%=\ [%1%M%%n%R%H]\ %-19(%3l,%02c%03V%)%O'%02b' :hi User1 term=inverse,bold cterm=inverse,bold ctermfg=red < Display a ,GZ flag if a compressed file is loaded > :set statusline=...%r%{VarExists('b:gzflag','\ [GZ]')}%h... < In the \|:autocmd\|'s: > :let b:gzflag = 1 < And: > :unlet b:gzflag < And define this function: > :function VarExists(var, val) : if exists(a:var) \| return a:val \| else \| return '' \| endif :endfunction < 'suffixes' 'su' 'suffixes' 'su' string (default ".bak,~,.o,.h,.info,.swp,.obj") global Files with these suffixes get a lower priority when multiple files match a wildcard. See \|suffixes\|. Commas can be used to separate the suffixes. Spaces after the comma are ignored. A dot is also seen as the start of a suffix. To avoid a dot or comma being recognized as a separator, precede it with a backslash (see \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes). See 'wildignore' for completely ignoring files. The use of \|:set+=\| and \|:set-=\| is preferred when adding or removing suffixes from the list. This avoids problems when a future version uses another default. 'suffixesadd' 'sua' 'suffixesadd' 'sua' string (default "") local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+file_in_path\| feature} Comma separated list of suffixes, which are used when searching for a file for the "gf", "[I", etc. commands. Example: > :set suffixesadd=.java < 'swapfile' 'swf' 'noswapfile' 'noswf' 'swapfile' 'swf' boolean (default on) local to buffer Use a swapfile for the buffer. This option can be reset when a swapfile is not wanted for a specific buffer. For example, with confidential information that even root must not be able to access. Careful: All text will be in memory: - Don't use this for big files. - Recovery will be impossible! A swapfile will only be present when \|'updatecount'\| is non-zero and 'swapfile' is set. When 'swapfile' is reset, the swap file for the current buffer is immediately deleted. When 'swapfile' is set, and 'updatecount' is non-zero, a swap file is immediately created. Also see \|swap-file\| and \|'swapsync'\|. If you want to open a new buffer without creating a swap file for it, use the \|:noswapfile\| modifier. See 'directory' for where the swap file is created. This option is used together with 'bufhidden' and 'buftype' to specify special kinds of buffers. See \|special-buffers\|. 'swapsync' 'sws' 'swapsync' 'sws' string (default "fsync") global When this option is not empty a swap file is synced to disk after writing to it. This takes some time, especially on busy unix systems. When this option is empty parts of the swap file may be in memory and not written to disk. When the system crashes you may lose more work. On Unix the system does a sync now and then without Vim asking for it, so the disadvantage of setting this option off is small. On some systems the swap file will not be written at all. For a unix system setting it to "sync" will use the sync() call instead of the default fsync(), which may work better on some systems. The 'fsync' option is used for the actual file. 'switchbuf' 'swb' 'switchbuf' 'swb' string (default "") global This option controls the behavior when switching between buffers. Possible values (comma separated list): useopen If included, jump to the first open window that contains the specified buffer (if there is one). Otherwise: Do not examine other windows. This setting is checked with \|quickfix\| commands, when jumping to errors (":cc", ":cn", "cp", etc.). It is also used in all buffer related split commands, for example ":sbuffer", ":sbnext", or ":sbrewind". usetab Like "useopen", but also consider windows in other tab pages. split If included, split the current window before loading a buffer for a \|quickfix\| command that display errors. Otherwise: do not split, use current window (when used in the quickfix window: the previously used window or split if there is no other window). vsplit Just like "split" but split vertically. newtab Like "split", but open a new tab page. Overrules "split" when both are present. uselast If included, jump to the previously used window when jumping to errors with \|quickfix\| commands. 'synmaxcol' 'smc' 'synmaxcol' 'smc' number (default 3000) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} Maximum column in which to search for syntax items. In long lines the text after this column is not highlighted and following lines may not be highlighted correctly, because the syntax state is cleared. This helps to avoid very slow redrawing for an XML file that is one long line. Set to zero to remove the limit. 'syntax' 'syn' 'syntax' 'syn' string (default empty) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} When this option is set, the syntax with this name is loaded, unless syntax highlighting has been switched off with ":syntax off". Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current syntax (the b:current_syntax variable does). This option is most useful in a modeline, for a file which syntax is not automatically recognized. Example, in an IDL file: /* vim: set syntax=idl : / ~ When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype names. Example: / vim: set syntax=c.doxygen : / ~ This will use the "c" syntax first, then the "doxygen" syntax. Note that the second one must be prepared to be loaded as an addition, otherwise it will be skipped. More than one dot may appear. To switch off syntax highlighting for the current file, use: > :set syntax=OFF < To switch syntax highlighting on according to the current value of the 'filetype' option: > :set syntax=ON < What actually happens when setting the 'syntax' option is that the Syntax autocommand event is triggered with the value as argument. This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or 'S' flag in 'cpoptions'. Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\?[\|<>" are illegal. 'tabline' 'tal' 'tabline' 'tal' string (default empty) global When nonempty, this option determines the content of the tab pages line at the top of the Vim window. When empty Vim will use a default tab pages line. See \|setting-tabline\| for more info. The tab pages line only appears as specified with the 'showtabline' option and only when there is no GUI tab line. When 'e' is in 'guioptions' and the GUI supports a tab line 'guitablabel' is used instead. Note that the two tab pages lines are very different. The value is evaluated like with 'statusline'. You can use \|tabpagenr()\|, \|tabpagewinnr()\| and \|tabpagebuflist()\| to figure out the text to be displayed. Use "%1T" for the first label, "%2T" for the second one, etc. Use "%X" items for closing labels. When changing something that is used in 'tabline' that does not trigger it to be updated, use \|:redrawtabline\|. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. Keep in mind that only one of the tab pages is the current one, others are invisible and you can't jump to their windows. 'tabpagemax' 'tpm' 'tabpagemax' 'tpm' number (default 10) global Maximum number of tab pages to be opened by the \|-p\| command line argument or the ":tab all" command. \|tabpage\| 'tabstop' 'ts' 'tabstop' 'ts' number (default 8) local to buffer Number of spaces that a <Tab> in the file counts for. Also see \|:retab\| command, and 'softtabstop' option. Note: Setting 'tabstop' to any other value than 8 can make your file appear wrong in many places (e.g., when printing it). There are four main ways to use tabs in Vim: 1. Always keep 'tabstop' at 8, set 'softtabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to 4 (or 3 or whatever you prefer) and use 'noexpandtab'. Then Vim will use a mix of tabs and spaces, but typing <Tab> and <BS> will behave like a tab appears every 4 (or 3) characters. 2. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use 'expandtab'. This way you will always insert spaces. The formatting will never be messed up when 'tabstop' is changed. 3. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use a \|modeline\| to set these values when editing the file again. Only works when using Vim to edit the file. 4. Always set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to the same value, and 'noexpandtab'. This should then work (for initial indents only) for any tabstop setting that people use. It might be nice to have tabs after the first non-blank inserted as spaces if you do this though. Otherwise aligned comments will be wrong when 'tabstop' is changed. If Vim is compiled with the \|+vartabs\| feature then the value of 'tabstop' will be ignored if \|'vartabstop'\| is set to anything other than an empty string. 'tagbsearch' 'tbs' 'notagbsearch' 'notbs' 'tagbsearch' 'tbs' boolean (default on) global When searching for a tag (e.g., for the \|:ta\| command), Vim can either use a binary search or a linear search in a tags file. Binary searching makes searching for a tag a LOT faster, but a linear search will find more tags if the tags file wasn't properly sorted. Vim normally assumes that your tags files are sorted, or indicate that they are not sorted. Only when this is not the case does the 'tagbsearch' option need to be switched off. When 'tagbsearch' is on, binary searching is first used in the tags files. In certain situations, Vim will do a linear search instead for certain files, or retry all files with a linear search. When 'tagbsearch' is off, only a linear search is done. Linear searching is done anyway, for one file, when Vim finds a line at the start of the file indicating that it's not sorted: > !_TAG_FILE_SORTED 0 /some comment/ < [The whitespace before and after the '0' must be a single <Tab>] When a binary search was done and no match was found in any of the files listed in 'tags', and case is ignored or a pattern is used instead of a normal tag name, a retry is done with a linear search. Tags in unsorted tags files, and matches with different case will only be found in the retry. If a tag file indicates that it is case-fold sorted, the second, linear search can be avoided when case is ignored. Use a value of '2' in the "!_TAG_FILE_SORTED" line for this. A tag file can be case-fold sorted with the -f switch to "sort" in most unices, as in the command: "sort -f -o tags tags". For "Exuberant ctags" version 5.x or higher (at least 5.5) the --sort=foldcase switch can be used for this as well. Note that case must be folded to uppercase for this to work. By default, tag searches are case-sensitive. Case is ignored when 'ignorecase' is set and 'tagcase' is "followic", or when 'tagcase' is "ignore". Also when 'tagcase' is "followscs" and 'smartcase' is set, or 'tagcase' is "smart", and the pattern contains only lowercase characters. When 'tagbsearch' is off, tags searching is slower when a full match exists, but faster when no full match exists. Tags in unsorted tags files may only be found with 'tagbsearch' off. When the tags file is not sorted, or sorted in a wrong way (not on ASCII byte value), 'tagbsearch' should be off, or the line given above must be included in the tags file. This option doesn't affect commands that find all matching tags (e.g., command-line completion and ":help"). 'tagcase' 'tc' 'tagcase' 'tc' string (default "followic") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| This option specifies how case is handled when searching the tags file: followic Follow the 'ignorecase' option followscs Follow the 'smartcase' and 'ignorecase' options ignore Ignore case match Match case smart Ignore case unless an upper case letter is used NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'tagfunc' 'tfu' 'tagfunc' 'tfu' string (default: empty) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} This option specifies a function to be used to perform tag searches. The function gets the tag pattern and should return a List of matching tags. See \|tag-function\| for an explanation of how to write the function and an example. 'taglength' 'tl' 'taglength' 'tl' number (default 0) global If non-zero, tags are significant up to this number of characters. 'tagrelative' 'tr' 'notagrelative' 'notr' 'tagrelative' 'tr' boolean (Vim default: on, Vi default: off) global If on and using a tags file in another directory, file names in that tags file are relative to the directory where the tags file is. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'tags' 'tag' E433 'tags' 'tag' string (default "./tags,tags", when compiled with \|+emacs_tags\|: "./tags,./TAGS,tags,TAGS") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| Filenames for the tag command, separated by spaces or commas. To include a space or comma in a file name, precede it with a backslash (see \|option-backslash\| about including spaces and backslashes). When a file name starts with "./", the '.' is replaced with the path of the current file. But only when the 'd' flag is not included in 'cpoptions'. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. Also see \|tags-option\|. "", "" and other wildcards can be used to search for tags files in a directory tree. See \|file-searching\|. E.g., "/lib//tags" will find all files named "tags" below "/lib". The filename itself cannot contain wildcards, it is used as-is. E.g., "/lib//tags?" will find files called "tags?". {not available when compiled without the \|+path_extra\| feature} The \|tagfiles()\| function can be used to get a list of the file names actually used. If Vim was compiled with the \|+emacs_tags\| feature, Emacs-style tag files are also supported. They are automatically recognized. The default value becomes "./tags,./TAGS,tags,TAGS", unless case differences are ignored (MS-Windows). \|emacs-tags\| The use of \|:set+=\| and \|:set-=\| is preferred when adding or removing file names from the list. This avoids problems when a future version uses another default. 'tagstack'* 'tgst' 'notagstack' 'notgst' 'tagstack' 'tgst' boolean (default on) global When on, the \|tagstack\| is used normally. When off, a ":tag" or ":tselect" command with an argument will not push the tag onto the tagstack. A following ":tag" without an argument, a ":pop" command or any other command that uses the tagstack will use the unmodified tagstack, but does change the pointer to the active entry. Resetting this option is useful when using a ":tag" command in a mapping which should not change the tagstack. 'tcldll' 'tcldll' string (default depends on the build) global {only available when compiled with the \|+tcl/dyn\| feature} Specifies the name of the Tcl shared library. The default is DYNAMIC_TCL_DLL, which was specified at compile time. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'term' E529 E530 E531 'term' string (default is $TERM, if that fails: in the GUI: "builtin_gui" on Amiga: "amiga" on Haiku: "xterm" on Mac: "mac-ansi" on Unix: "ansi" on VMS: "ansi" on Win 32: "win32") global Name of the terminal. Used for choosing the terminal control characters. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. For example: > :set term=$TERM < See \|termcap\|. 'termbidi' 'tbidi' 'notermbidi' 'notbidi' 'termbidi' 'tbidi' boolean (default off, on for "mlterm") global {only available when compiled with the \|+arabic\| feature} The terminal is in charge of Bi-directionality of text (as specified by Unicode). The terminal is also expected to do the required shaping that some languages (such as Arabic) require. Setting this option implies that 'rightleft' will not be set when 'arabic' is set and the value of 'arabicshape' will be ignored. Note that setting 'termbidi' has the immediate effect that 'arabicshape' is ignored, but 'rightleft' isn't changed automatically. This option is reset when the GUI is started. For further details see \|arabic.txt\|. 'termencoding' 'tenc' 'termencoding' 'tenc' string (default ""; with GTK+ GUI: "utf-8") global Encoding used for the terminal. This specifies what character encoding the keyboard produces and the display will understand. For the GUI it only applies to the keyboard ('encoding' is used for the display). E617 E950 Note: This does not apply to the GTK+ GUI. After the GUI has been successfully initialized, 'termencoding' is forcibly set to "utf-8". Any attempts to set a different value will be rejected, and an error message is shown. For the Win32 GUI and console versions 'termencoding' is not used, because the Win32 system always passes Unicode characters. When empty, the same encoding is used as for the 'encoding' option. This is the normal value. Not all combinations for 'termencoding' and 'encoding' are valid. See \|encoding-table\|. The value for this option must be supported by internal conversions or iconv(). When this is not possible no conversion will be done and you will probably experience problems with non-ASCII characters. Example: You are working with the locale set to euc-jp (Japanese) and want to edit a UTF-8 file: > :let &termencoding = &encoding :set encoding=utf-8 < You need to do this when your system has no locale support for UTF-8. 'termguicolors' 'tgc' E954 'termguicolors' 'tgc' boolean (default off) global {not available when compiled without the \|+termguicolors\| feature} When on, uses \|highlight-guifg\| and \|highlight-guibg\| attributes in the terminal (thus using 24-bit color). Requires a ISO-8613-3 compatible terminal. If setting this option does not work (produces a colorless UI) reading \|xterm-true-color\| might help. For Win32 console, Windows 10 version 1703 (Creators Update) or later is required. Use this check to find out: > if has('vcon') < This requires Vim to be built with the \|+vtp\| feature. Note that the "cterm" attributes are still used, not the "gui" ones. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'termwinkey' 'twk' 'termwinkey' 'twk' string (default "") local to window The key that starts a CTRL-W command in a terminal window. Other keys are sent to the job running in the window. The <> notation can be used, e.g.: > :set termwinkey=<C-L> < The string must be one key stroke but can be multiple bytes. When not set CTRL-W is used, so that CTRL-W : gets you to the command line. If 'termwinkey' is set to CTRL-L then CTRL-L : gets you to the command line. 'termwinscroll' 'twsl' 'termwinscroll' 'twsl' number (default 10000) local to buffer {not available when compiled without the \|+terminal\| feature} Number of scrollback lines to keep. When going over this limit the first 10% of the scrollback lines are deleted. This is just to reduce the memory usage. See \|Terminal-Normal\|. 'termwinsize' 'tws' 'termwinsize' 'tws' string (default "") local to window Size used when opening the \|terminal\| window. Format: {rows}x{columns} or {rows}{columns}. - When empty the terminal gets the size from the window. - When set with a "x" (e.g., "24x80") the terminal size is not adjusted to the window size. If the window is smaller only the top-left part is displayed. - When set with a "" (e.g., "1050") the terminal size follows the window size, but will not be smaller than the specified rows and/or columns. - When rows is zero then use the height of the window. - When columns is zero then use the width of the window. - Using "0x0" or "00" is the same as empty. - Can be overruled in the \|term_start()\| options with "term_rows" and "term_cols". Examples: "30x0" uses 30 rows and the current window width. "200" uses at least 20 rows and the current window width. "040" uses the current window height and at least 40 columns. Note that the command running in the terminal window may still change the size of the terminal. In that case the Vim window will be adjusted to that size, if possible. 'termwintype' 'twt' 'termwintype' 'twt' string (default "") global {only available when compiled with the \|terminal\| feature on MS-Windows} Specify the virtual console (pty) used when opening the terminal window. Possible values are: "" use ConPTY if it is stable, winpty otherwise "winpty" use winpty, fail if not supported "conpty" use \|ConPTY\|, fail if not supported \|ConPTY\| support depends on the platform. Windows 10 October 2018 Update is the first version that supports ConPTY, however it is still considered unstable. ConPTY might become stable in the next release of Windows 10. winpty support needs to be installed. If neither is supported then you cannot open a terminal window. 'terse' 'noterse' 'terse' boolean (default off) global When set: Add 's' flag to 'shortmess' option (this makes the message for a search that hits the start or end of the file not being displayed). When reset: Remove 's' flag from 'shortmess' option. {Vi shortens a lot of messages} 'textauto' 'ta' 'notextauto' 'nota' 'textauto' 'ta' boolean (Vim default: on, Vi default: off) global This option is obsolete. Use 'fileformats'. For backwards compatibility, when 'textauto' is set, 'fileformats' is set to the default value for the current system. When 'textauto' is reset, 'fileformats' is made empty. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'textmode' 'tx' 'notextmode' 'notx' 'textmode' 'tx' boolean (Win32: default on, others: default off) local to buffer This option is obsolete. Use 'fileformat'. For backwards compatibility, when 'textmode' is set, 'fileformat' is set to "dos". When 'textmode' is reset, 'fileformat' is set to "unix". 'textwidth' 'tw' 'textwidth' 'tw' number (default 0) local to buffer Maximum width of text that is being inserted. A longer line will be broken after white space to get this width. A zero value disables this. 'textwidth' is set to 0 when the 'paste' option is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. When 'textwidth' is zero, 'wrapmargin' may be used. See also 'formatoptions' and \|ins-textwidth\|. When 'formatexpr' is set it will be used to break the line. NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. 'thesaurus' 'tsr' 'thesaurus' 'tsr' string (default "") global or local to buffer \|global-local\| List of file names, separated by commas, that are used to lookup words for thesaurus completion commands \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-T\|. Each line in the file should contain words with similar meaning, separated by non-keyword characters (white space is preferred). Maximum line length is 510 bytes. An English word list was added to this github issue: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/629#issuecomment-443293282 Unpack thesaurus_pkg.zip, put the thesaurus.txt file somewhere, e.g. ~/.vim/thesaurus/english.txt, and the 'thesaurus' option to this file name. To include a comma in a file name precede it with a backslash. Spaces after a comma are ignored, otherwise spaces are included in the file name. See \|option-backslash\| about using backslashes. The use of \|:set+=\| and \|:set-=\| is preferred when adding or removing directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version uses another default. Backticks cannot be used in this option for security reasons. 'tildeop' 'top' 'notildeop' 'notop' 'tildeop' 'top' boolean (default off) global When on: The tilde command "~" behaves like an operator. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'timeout' 'to' 'notimeout' 'noto' 'timeout' 'to' boolean (default on) global 'ttimeout' 'nottimeout' 'ttimeout' boolean (default off, set in \|defaults.vim\|) global These two options together determine the behavior when part of a mapped key sequence or keyboard code has been received: 'timeout' 'ttimeout' action ~ off off do not time out on on or off time out on :mappings and key codes off on time out on key codes If both options are off, Vim will wait until either the complete mapping or key sequence has been received, or it is clear that there is no mapping or key sequence for the received characters. For example: if you have mapped "vl" and Vim has received 'v', the next character is needed to see if the 'v' is followed by an 'l'. When one of the options is on, Vim will wait for about 1 second for the next character to arrive. After that the already received characters are interpreted as single characters. The waiting time can be changed with the 'timeoutlen' option. On slow terminals or very busy systems timing out may cause malfunctioning cursor keys. If both options are off, Vim waits forever after an entered <Esc> if there are key codes that start with <Esc>. You will have to type <Esc> twice. If you do not have problems with key codes, but would like to have :mapped key sequences not timing out in 1 second, set the 'ttimeout' option and reset the 'timeout' option. NOTE: 'ttimeout' is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'timeoutlen' 'tm' 'timeoutlen' 'tm' number (default 1000) global 'ttimeoutlen' 'ttm' 'ttimeoutlen' 'ttm' number (default -1, set to 100 in \|defaults.vim\|) global The time in milliseconds that is waited for a key code or mapped key sequence to complete. Also used for CTRL-\ CTRL-N and CTRL-\ CTRL-G when part of a command has been typed. Normally only 'timeoutlen' is used and 'ttimeoutlen' is -1. When a different timeout value for key codes is desired set 'ttimeoutlen' to a non-negative number. ttimeoutlen mapping delay key code delay ~ < 0 'timeoutlen' 'timeoutlen' >= 0 'timeoutlen' 'ttimeoutlen' The timeout only happens when the 'timeout' and 'ttimeout' options tell so. A useful setting would be > :set timeout timeoutlen=3000 ttimeoutlen=100 < (time out on mapping after three seconds, time out on key codes after a tenth of a second). 'title' 'notitle' 'title' boolean (default off, on when title can be restored) global {not available when compiled without the \|+title\| feature} When on, the title of the window will be set to the value of 'titlestring' (if it is not empty), or to: filename [+=-] (path) - VIM Where: filename the name of the file being edited - indicates the file cannot be modified, 'ma' off + indicates the file was modified = indicates the file is read-only =+ indicates the file is read-only and modified (path) is the path of the file being edited - VIM the server name \|v:servername\| or "VIM" Only works if the terminal supports setting window titles (currently Amiga console, Win32 console, all GUI versions and terminals with a non-empty 't_ts' option - these are Unix xterm and iris-ansi by default, where 't_ts' is taken from the builtin termcap). X11 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original title will be restored if possible. The output of ":version" will include "+X11" when HAVE_X11 was defined, otherwise it will be "-X11". This also works for the icon name \|'icon'\|. But: When Vim was started with the \|-X\| argument, restoring the title will not work (except in the GUI). If the title cannot be restored, it is set to the value of 'titleold'. You might want to restore the title outside of Vim then. When using an xterm from a remote machine you can use this command: rsh machine_name xterm -display $DISPLAY & then the WINDOWID environment variable should be inherited and the title of the window should change back to what it should be after exiting Vim. 'titlelen' 'titlelen' number (default 85) global {not available when compiled without the \|+title\| feature} Gives the percentage of 'columns' to use for the length of the window title. When the title is longer, only the end of the path name is shown. A '<' character before the path name is used to indicate this. Using a percentage makes this adapt to the width of the window. But it won't work perfectly, because the actual number of characters available also depends on the font used and other things in the title bar. When 'titlelen' is zero the full path is used. Otherwise, values from 1 to 30000 percent can be used. 'titlelen' is also used for the 'titlestring' option. 'titleold' 'titleold' string (default "Thanks for flying Vim") global {only available when compiled with the \|+title\| feature} This option will be used for the window title when exiting Vim if the original title cannot be restored. Only happens if 'title' is on or 'titlestring' is not empty. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'titlestring' 'titlestring' string (default "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+title\| feature} When this option is not empty, it will be used for the title of the window. This happens only when the 'title' option is on. Only works if the terminal supports setting window titles (currently Amiga console, Win32 console, all GUI versions and terminals with a non-empty 't_ts' option). When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original title will be restored if possible, see \|X11\|. When this option contains printf-style '%' items, they will be expanded according to the rules used for 'statusline'. This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off. Example: > :auto BufEnter * let &titlestring = hostname() . "/" . expand("%:p") :set title titlestring=%<%F%=%l/%L-%P titlelen=70 < The value of 'titlelen' is used to align items in the middle or right of the available space. Some people prefer to have the file name first: > :set titlestring=%t%(\ %M%)%(\ (%{expand(\"%:~:.:h\")})%)%(\ %a%) < Note the use of "%{ }" and an expression to get the path of the file, without the file name. The "%( %)" constructs are used to add a separating space only when needed. NOTE: Use of special characters in 'titlestring' may cause the display to be garbled (e.g., when it contains a CR or NL character). {not available when compiled without the \|+statusline\| feature} 'toolbar' 'tb' 'toolbar' 'tb' string (default "icons,tooltips") global {only for \|+GUI_GTK\|, \|+GUI_Athena\|, \|+GUI_Motif\| and \|+GUI_Photon\|} The contents of this option controls various toolbar settings. The possible values are: icons Toolbar buttons are shown with icons. text Toolbar buttons shown with text. horiz Icon and text of a toolbar button are horizontally arranged. {only in GTK+ 2 GUI} tooltips Tooltips are active for toolbar buttons. Tooltips refer to the popup help text which appears after the mouse cursor is placed over a toolbar button for a brief moment. If you want the toolbar to be shown with icons as well as text, do the following: > :set tb=icons,text < Motif and Athena cannot display icons and text at the same time. They will show icons if both are requested. If none of the strings specified in 'toolbar' are valid or if 'toolbar' is empty, this option is ignored. If you want to disable the toolbar, you need to set the 'guioptions' option. For example: > :set guioptions-=T < Also see \|gui-toolbar\|. 'toolbariconsize' 'tbis' 'toolbariconsize' 'tbis' string (default "small") global {only in the GTK+ GUI} Controls the size of toolbar icons. The possible values are: tiny Use tiny icons. small Use small icons (default). medium Use medium-sized icons. large Use large icons. huge Use even larger icons. giant Use very big icons. The exact dimensions in pixels of the various icon sizes depend on the current theme. Common dimensions are giant=48x48, huge=32x32, large=24x24, medium=24x24, small=20x20 and tiny=16x16. If 'toolbariconsize' is empty, the global default size as determined by user preferences or the current theme is used. 'ttybuiltin' 'tbi' 'nottybuiltin' 'notbi' 'ttybuiltin' 'tbi' boolean (default on) global When on, the builtin termcaps are searched before the external ones. When off the builtin termcaps are searched after the external ones. When this option is changed, you should set the 'term' option next for the change to take effect, for example: > :set notbi term=$TERM < See also \|termcap\|. Rationale: The default for this option is "on", because the builtin termcap entries are generally better (many systems contain faulty xterm entries...). 'ttyfast' 'tf' 'nottyfast' 'notf' 'ttyfast' 'tf' boolean (default off, on when 'term' is xterm, hpterm, sun-cmd, screen, rxvt, dtterm or iris-ansi; also on when running Vim in a DOS console) global Indicates a fast terminal connection. More characters will be sent to the screen for redrawing, instead of using insert/delete line commands. Improves smoothness of redrawing when there are multiple windows and the terminal does not support a scrolling region. Also enables the extra writing of characters at the end of each screen line for lines that wrap. This helps when using copy/paste with the mouse in an xterm and other terminals. 'ttymouse' 'ttym' 'ttymouse' 'ttym' string (default depends on 'term') global {only in Unix and VMS, doesn't work in the GUI; not available when compiled without \|+mouse\|} Name of the terminal type for which mouse codes are to be recognized. Currently these strings are valid: xterm-mouse xterm xterm-like mouse handling. The mouse generates "<Esc>[Mscr", where "scr" is three bytes: "s" = button state "c" = column plus 33 "r" = row plus 33 This only works up to 223 columns! See "dec", "urxvt", and "sgr" for solutions. xterm2 Works like "xterm", but with the xterm reporting the mouse position while the mouse is dragged. This works much faster and more precise. Your xterm must at least at patchlevel 88 / XFree 3.3.3 for this to work. See below for how Vim detects this automatically. netterm-mouse netterm NetTerm mouse handling. A left mouse click generates "<Esc>}r,c<CR>", where "r,c" are two decimal numbers for the row and column. No other mouse events are supported. dec-mouse dec DEC terminal mouse handling. The mouse generates a rather complex sequence, starting with "<Esc>[". This is also available for an Xterm, if it was configured with "--enable-dec-locator". jsbterm-mouse jsbterm JSB term mouse handling. pterm-mouse pterm QNX pterm mouse handling. urxvt-mouse urxvt Mouse handling for the urxvt (rxvt-unicode) terminal. The mouse works only if the terminal supports this encoding style, but it does not have 223 columns limit unlike "xterm" or "xterm2". sgr-mouse sgr Mouse handling for the terminal that emits SGR-styled mouse reporting. The mouse works even in columns beyond 223. This option is backward compatible with "xterm2" because it can also decode "xterm2" style mouse codes. The mouse handling must be enabled at compile time \|+mouse_xterm\| \|+mouse_dec\| \|+mouse_netterm\| \|+mouse_jsbterm\| \|+mouse_urxvt\| \|+mouse_sgr\|. Only "xterm"(2) is really recognized. NetTerm mouse codes are always recognized, if enabled at compile time. DEC terminal mouse codes are recognized if enabled at compile time, and 'ttymouse' is not "xterm", "xterm2", "urxvt" or "sgr" (because dec mouse codes conflict with them). This option is automatically set to "xterm", when the 'term' option is set to a name that starts with "xterm", "mlterm", "screen", "tmux", "st" (full match only), "st-" or "stterm", and 'ttymouse' is not set already. Additionally, if vim is compiled with the \|+termresponse\| feature and \|t_RV\| is set to the escape sequence to request the xterm version number, more intelligent detection is done. The "xterm2" value will be set if the xterm version is reported to be from 95 to 276. The "sgr" value will be set if Vim detects Mac Terminal.app, iTerm2 or mintty, and when the xterm version is 277 or higher. If you do not want 'ttymouse' to be set to "xterm2" or "sgr" automatically, set t_RV to an empty string: > :set t_RV= < 'ttyscroll' 'tsl' 'ttyscroll' 'tsl' number (default 999) global Maximum number of lines to scroll the screen. If there are more lines to scroll the window is redrawn. For terminals where scrolling is very slow and redrawing is not slow this can be set to a small number, e.g., 3, to speed up displaying. 'ttytype' 'tty' 'ttytype' 'tty' string (default from $TERM) global Alias for 'term', see above. 'undodir' 'udir' 'undodir' 'udir' string (default ".") global {only when compiled with the \|+persistent_undo\| feature} List of directory names for undo files, separated with commas. See \|'backupdir'\| for details of the format. "." means using the directory of the file. The undo file name for "file.txt" is ".file.txt.un~". For other directories the file name is the full path of the edited file, with path separators replaced with "%". When writing: The first directory that exists is used. "." always works, no directories after "." will be used for writing. When reading all entries are tried to find an undo file. The first undo file that exists is used. When it cannot be read an error is given, no further entry is used. See \|undo-persistence\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'undofile' 'noundofile' 'udf' 'noudf' 'undofile' 'udf' boolean (default off) local to buffer {only when compiled with the \|+persistent_undo\| feature} When on, Vim automatically saves undo history to an undo file when writing a buffer to a file, and restores undo history from the same file on buffer read. The directory where the undo file is stored is specified by 'undodir'. For more information about this feature see \|undo-persistence\|. The undo file is not read when 'undoreload' causes the buffer from before a reload to be saved for undo. When 'undofile' is turned off the undo file is NOT deleted. NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. 'undolevels' 'ul' 'undolevels' 'ul' number (default 100, 1000 for Unix, VMS and Win32) global or local to buffer \|global-local\| Maximum number of changes that can be undone. Since undo information is kept in memory, higher numbers will cause more memory to be used. Nevertheless, a single change can already use a large amount of memory. Set to 0 for Vi compatibility: One level of undo and "u" undoes itself: > set ul=0 < But you can also get Vi compatibility by including the 'u' flag in 'cpoptions', and still be able to use CTRL-R to repeat undo. Also see \|undo-two-ways\|. Set to -1 for no undo at all. You might want to do this only for the current buffer: > setlocal ul=-1 < This helps when you run out of memory for a single change. The local value is set to -123456 when the global value is to be used. Also see \|clear-undo\|. 'undoreload' 'ur' 'undoreload' 'ur' number (default 10000) global Save the whole buffer for undo when reloading it. This applies to the ":e!" command and reloading for when the buffer changed outside of Vim. \|FileChangedShell\| The save only happens when this option is negative or when the number of lines is smaller than the value of this option. Set this option to zero to disable undo for a reload. When saving undo for a reload, any undo file is not read. Note that this causes the whole buffer to be stored in memory. Set this option to a lower value if you run out of memory. 'updatecount' 'uc' 'updatecount' 'uc' number (default: 200) global After typing this many characters the swap file will be written to disk. When zero, no swap file will be created at all (see chapter on recovery \|crash-recovery\|). 'updatecount' is set to zero by starting Vim with the "-n" option, see \|startup\|. When editing in readonly mode this option will be initialized to 10000. The swapfile can be disabled per buffer with \|'swapfile'\|. When 'updatecount' is set from zero to non-zero, swap files are created for all buffers that have 'swapfile' set. When 'updatecount' is set to zero, existing swap files are not deleted. Also see \|'swapsync'\|. This option has no meaning in buffers where \|'buftype'\| is "nofile" or "nowrite". 'updatetime' 'ut' 'updatetime' 'ut' number (default 4000) global If this many milliseconds nothing is typed the swap file will be written to disk (see \|crash-recovery\|). Also used for the \|CursorHold\| autocommand event. 'varsofttabstop' 'vsts' 'varsofttabstop' 'vsts' string (default "") local to buffer {only available when compiled with the \|+vartabs\| feature} A list of the number of spaces that a <Tab> counts for while editing, such as inserting a <Tab> or using <BS>. It "feels" like variable- width <Tab>s are being inserted, while in fact a mixture of spaces and <Tab>s is used. Tab widths are separated with commas, with the final value applying to all subsequent tabs. For example, when editing assembly language files where statements start in the 9th column and comments in the 41st, it may be useful to use the following: > :set varsofttabstop=8,32,8 < This will set soft tabstops with 8 and 8 + 32 spaces, and 8 more for every column thereafter. Note that the value of \|'softtabstop'\| will be ignored while 'varsofttabstop' is set. 'vartabstop' 'vts' 'vartabstop' 'vts' string (default "") local to buffer {only available when compiled with the \|+vartabs\| feature} A list of the number of spaces that a <Tab> in the file counts for, separated by commas. Each value corresponds to one tab, with the final value applying to all subsequent tabs. For example: > :set vartabstop=4,20,10,8 < This will make the first tab 4 spaces wide, the second 20 spaces, the third 10 spaces, and all following tabs 8 spaces. Note that the value of \|'tabstop'\| will be ignored while 'vartabstop' is set. 'verbose' 'vbs' 'verbose' 'vbs' number (default 0) global When bigger than zero, Vim will give messages about what it is doing. Currently, these messages are given: >= 1 When the viminfo file is read or written. >= 2 When a file is ":source"'ed. >= 4 Shell commands. >= 5 Every searched tags file and include file. >= 8 Files for which a group of autocommands is executed. >= 9 Every executed autocommand. >= 11 Finding items in a path >= 12 Every executed function. >= 13 When an exception is thrown, caught, finished, or discarded. >= 14 Anything pending in a ":finally" clause. >= 15 Every executed Ex command from a script (truncated at 200 characters). >= 16 Every executed Ex command. This option can also be set with the "-V" argument. See \|-V\|. This option is also set by the \|:verbose\| command. When the 'verbosefile' option is set then the verbose messages are not displayed. 'verbosefile' 'vfile' 'verbosefile' 'vfile' string (default empty) global When not empty all messages are written in a file with this name. When the file exists messages are appended. Writing to the file ends when Vim exits or when 'verbosefile' is made empty. Writes are buffered, thus may not show up for some time. Setting 'verbosefile' to a new value is like making it empty first. The difference with \|:redir\| is that verbose messages are not displayed when 'verbosefile' is set. 'viewdir' 'vdir' 'viewdir' 'vdir' string (default for Amiga and Win32: "$VIM/vimfiles/view", for Unix: "~/.vim/view", for macOS: "$VIM:vimfiles:view" for VMS: "sys$login:vimfiles/view") global {not available when compiled without the \|+mksession\| feature} Name of the directory where to store files for \|:mkview\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'viewoptions' 'vop' 'viewoptions' 'vop' string (default: "folds,options,cursor,curdir") global {not available when compiled without the \|+mksession\| feature} Changes the effect of the \|:mkview\| command. It is a comma separated list of words. Each word enables saving and restoring something: word save and restore ~ cursor cursor position in file and in window folds manually created folds, opened/closed folds and local fold options options options and mappings local to a window or buffer (not global values for local options) localoptions same as "options" slash backslashes in file names replaced with forward slashes unix with Unix end-of-line format (single <NL>), even when on MS-Windows curdir the window-local directory, if set with `:lcd` "slash" and "unix" are useful on MS-Windows when sharing view files with Unix. The Unix version of Vim cannot source dos format scripts, but the MS-Windows version of Vim can source unix format scripts. 'viminfo' 'vi' E526 E527 E528 'viminfo' 'vi' string (Vi default: "", Vim default for MS-Windows: '100,<50,s10,h,rA:,rB:, for Amiga: '100,<50,s10,h,rdf0:,rdf1:,rdf2: for others: '100,<50,s10,h) global {not available when compiled without the \|+viminfo\| feature} When non-empty, the viminfo file is read upon startup and written when exiting Vim (see \|viminfo-file\|). Except when 'viminfofile' is "NONE". The string should be a comma separated list of parameters, each consisting of a single character identifying the particular parameter, followed by a number or string which specifies the value of that parameter. If a particular character is left out, then the default value is used for that parameter. The following is a list of the identifying characters and the effect of their value. CHAR VALUE ~ viminfo-! ! When included, save and restore global variables that start with an uppercase letter, and don't contain a lowercase letter. Thus "KEEPTHIS and "K_L_M" are stored, but "KeepThis" and "_K_L_M" are not. Nested List and Dict items may not be read back correctly, you end up with an empty item. viminfo-quote " Maximum number of lines saved for each register. Old name of the '<' item, with the disadvantage that you need to put a backslash before the ", otherwise it will be recognized as the start of a comment! viminfo-% % When included, save and restore the buffer list. If Vim is started with a file name argument, the buffer list is not restored. If Vim is started without a file name argument, the buffer list is restored from the viminfo file. Quickfix ('buftype'), unlisted ('buflisted'), unnamed and buffers on removable media (\|viminfo-r\|) are not saved. When followed by a number, the number specifies the maximum number of buffers that are stored. Without a number all buffers are stored. viminfo-' ' Maximum number of previously edited files for which the marks are remembered. This parameter must always be included when 'viminfo' is non-empty. Including this item also means that the \|jumplist\| and the \|changelist\| are stored in the viminfo file. viminfo-/ / Maximum number of items in the search pattern history to be saved. If non-zero, then the previous search and substitute patterns are also saved. When not included, the value of 'history' is used. viminfo-: : Maximum number of items in the command-line history to be saved. When not included, the value of 'history' is used. viminfo-< < Maximum number of lines saved for each register. If zero then registers are not saved. When not included, all lines are saved. '"' is the old name for this item. Also see the 's' item below: limit specified in Kbyte. viminfo-@ @ Maximum number of items in the input-line history to be saved. When not included, the value of 'history' is used. viminfo-c c When included, convert the text in the viminfo file from the 'encoding' used when writing the file to the current 'encoding'. See \|viminfo-encoding\|. viminfo-f f Whether file marks need to be stored. If zero, file marks ('0 to '9, 'A to 'Z) are not stored. When not present or when non-zero, they are all stored. '0 is used for the current cursor position (when exiting or when doing ":wviminfo"). viminfo-h h Disable the effect of 'hlsearch' when loading the viminfo file. When not included, it depends on whether ":nohlsearch" has been used since the last search command. viminfo-n n Name of the viminfo file. The name must immediately follow the 'n'. Must be at the end of the option! If the 'viminfofile' option is set, that file name overrides the one given here with 'viminfo'. Environment variables are expanded when opening the file, not when setting the option. viminfo-r r Removable media. The argument is a string (up to the next ','). This parameter can be given several times. Each specifies the start of a path for which no marks will be stored. This is to avoid removable media. For MS-Windows you could use "ra:,rb:", for Amiga "rdf0:,rdf1:,rdf2:". You can also use it for temp files, e.g., for Unix: "r/tmp". Case is ignored. Maximum length of each 'r' argument is 50 characters. viminfo-s s Maximum size of an item in Kbyte. If zero then registers are not saved. Currently only applies to registers. The default "s10" will exclude registers with more than 10 Kbyte of text. Also see the '<' item above: line count limit. Example: > :set viminfo='50,<1000,s100,:0,n~/vim/viminfo < '50 Marks will be remembered for the last 50 files you edited. <1000 Contents of registers (up to 1000 lines each) will be remembered. s100 Registers with more than 100 Kbyte text are skipped. :0 Command-line history will not be saved. n~/vim/viminfo The name of the file to use is "~/vim/viminfo". no / Since '/' is not specified, the default will be used, that is, save all of the search history, and also the previous search and substitute patterns. no % The buffer list will not be saved nor read back. no h 'hlsearch' highlighting will be restored. When setting 'viminfo' from an empty value you can use \|:rviminfo\| to load the contents of the file, this is not done automatically. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. NOTE: This option is set to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'viminfofile' 'vif' 'viminfofile' 'vif' string (default: "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+viminfo\| feature} When non-empty, overrides the file name used for viminfo. When equal to "NONE" no viminfo file will be read or written. This option can be set with the \|-i\| command line flag. The \|--clean\| command line flag sets it to "NONE". This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'virtualedit' 've' 'virtualedit' 've' string (default "") global A comma separated list of these words: block Allow virtual editing in Visual block mode. insert Allow virtual editing in Insert mode. all Allow virtual editing in all modes. onemore Allow the cursor to move just past the end of the line Virtual editing means that the cursor can be positioned where there is no actual character. This can be halfway into a tab or beyond the end of the line. Useful for selecting a rectangle in Visual mode and editing a table. "onemore" is not the same, it will only allow moving the cursor just after the last character of the line. This makes some commands more consistent. Previously the cursor was always past the end of the line if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi compatible. It may also break some plugins or Vim scripts. For example because \|l\| can move the cursor after the last character. Use with care! Using the `$` command will move to the last character in the line, not past it. This may actually move the cursor to the left! The `g$` command will move to the end of the screen line. It doesn't make sense to combine "all" with "onemore", but you will not get a warning for it. NOTE: This option is set to "" when 'compatible' is set. 'visualbell' 'vb' 'novisualbell' 'novb' beep 'visualbell' 'vb' boolean (default off) global Use a visual bell instead of beeping. The terminal code to display the visual bell is given with 't_vb'. When no beep or flash is wanted, use: > :set vb t_vb= < If you want a short flash, you can use this on many terminals: > :set vb t_vb=[?5h$<100>[?5l < Here $<100> specifies the time, you can use a smaller or bigger value to get a shorter or longer flash. Note: Vim will limit the bell to once per half a second. This avoids having to wait for the flashing to finish when there are lots of bells, e.g. on key repeat. This also happens without 'visualbell' set. In the GUI, 't_vb' defaults to "<Esc>\|f", which inverts the display for 20 msec. If you want to use a different time, use "<Esc>\|40f", where 40 is the time in msec. Note: When the GUI starts, 't_vb' is reset to its default value. You might want to set it again in your \|gvimrc\|. Does not work on the Amiga, you always get a screen flash. Also see 'errorbells'. 'warn' 'nowarn' 'warn' boolean (default on) global Give a warning message when a shell command is used while the buffer has been changed. 'weirdinvert' 'wiv' 'noweirdinvert' 'nowiv' 'weirdinvert' 'wiv' boolean (default off) global This option has the same effect as the 't_xs' terminal option. It is provided for backwards compatibility with version 4.x. Setting 'weirdinvert' has the effect of making 't_xs' non-empty, and vice versa. Has no effect when the GUI is running. 'whichwrap' 'ww' 'whichwrap' 'ww' string (Vim default: "b,s", Vi default: "") global Allow specified keys that move the cursor left/right to move to the previous/next line when the cursor is on the first/last character in the line. Concatenate characters to allow this for these keys: char key mode ~ b <BS> Normal and Visual s <Space> Normal and Visual h "h" Normal and Visual (not recommended) l "l" Normal and Visual (not recommended) < <Left> Normal and Visual > <Right> Normal and Visual ~ "~" Normal [ <Left> Insert and Replace ] <Right> Insert and Replace For example: > :set ww=<,>,[,] < allows wrap only when cursor keys are used. When the movement keys are used in combination with a delete or change operator, the <EOL> also counts for a character. This makes "3h" different from "3dh" when the cursor crosses the end of a line. This is also true for "x" and "X", because they do the same as "dl" and "dh". If you use this, you may also want to use the mapping ":map <BS> X" to make backspace delete the character in front of the cursor. When 'l' is included and it is used after an operator at the end of a line (not an empty line) then it will not move to the next line. This makes "dl", "cl", "yl" etc. work normally. NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'wildchar' 'wc' 'wildchar' 'wc' number (Vim default: <Tab>, Vi default: CTRL-E) global Character you have to type to start wildcard expansion in the command-line, as specified with 'wildmode'. More info here: \|cmdline-completion\|. The character is not recognized when used inside a macro. See 'wildcharm' for that. Although 'wc' is a number option, you can set it to a special key: > :set wc=<Esc> < NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. 'wildcharm' 'wcm' 'wildcharm' 'wcm' number (default: none (0)) global 'wildcharm' works exactly like 'wildchar', except that it is recognized when used inside a macro. You can find "spare" command-line keys suitable for this option by looking at \|ex-edit-index\|. Normally you'll never actually type 'wildcharm', just use it in mappings that automatically invoke completion mode, e.g.: > :set wcm=<C-Z> :cnoremap ss so $vim/sessions/.vim<C-Z> < Then after typing :ss you can use CTRL-P & CTRL-N. 'wildignore'* 'wig' 'wildignore' 'wig' string (default "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+wildignore\| feature} A list of file patterns. A file that matches with one of these patterns is ignored when expanding \|wildcards\|, completing file or directory names, and influences the result of \|expand()\|, \|glob()\| and \|globpath()\| unless a flag is passed to disable this. The pattern is used like with \|:autocmd\|, see \|autocmd-patterns\|. Also see 'suffixes'. Example: > :set wildignore=.o,.obj < The use of \|:set+=\| and \|:set-=\| is preferred when adding or removing a pattern from the list. This avoids problems when a future version uses another default. 'wildignorecase' 'wic' 'nowildignorecase' 'nowic' 'wildignorecase' 'wic' boolean (default off) global When set case is ignored when completing file names and directories. Has no effect when 'fileignorecase' is set. Does not apply when the shell is used to expand wildcards, which happens when there are special characters. 'wildmenu' 'wmnu' 'nowildmenu' 'nowmnu' 'wildmenu' 'wmnu' boolean (default off, set in \|defaults.vim\|) global {not available if compiled without the \|+wildmenu\| feature} When 'wildmenu' is on, command-line completion operates in an enhanced mode. On pressing 'wildchar' (usually <Tab>) to invoke completion, the possible matches are shown just above the command line, with the first match highlighted (overwriting the status line, if there is one). Keys that show the previous/next match, such as <Tab> or CTRL-P/CTRL-N, cause the highlight to move to the appropriate match. When 'wildmode' is used, "wildmenu" mode is used where "full" is specified. "longest" and "list" do not start "wildmenu" mode. You can check the current mode with \|wildmenumode()\|. If there are more matches than can fit in the line, a ">" is shown on the right and/or a "<" is shown on the left. The status line scrolls as needed. The "wildmenu" mode is abandoned when a key is hit that is not used for selecting a completion. While the "wildmenu" is active the following keys have special meanings: <Left> <Right> - select previous/next match (like CTRL-P/CTRL-N) <Down> - in filename/menu name completion: move into a subdirectory or submenu. <CR> - in menu completion, when the cursor is just after a dot: move into a submenu. <Up> - in filename/menu name completion: move up into parent directory or parent menu. This makes the menus accessible from the console \|console-menus\|. If you prefer the <Left> and <Right> keys to move the cursor instead of selecting a different match, use this: > :cnoremap <Left> <Space><BS><Left> :cnoremap <Right> <Space><BS><Right> < The "WildMenu" highlighting is used for displaying the current match \|hl-WildMenu\|. 'wildmode' 'wim' 'wildmode' 'wim' string (Vim default: "full") global Completion mode that is used for the character specified with 'wildchar'. It is a comma separated list of up to four parts. Each part specifies what to do for each consecutive use of 'wildchar'. The first part specifies the behavior for the first use of 'wildchar', The second part for the second use, etc. These are the possible values for each part: "" Complete only the first match. "full" Complete the next full match. After the last match, the original string is used and then the first match again. "longest" Complete till longest common string. If this doesn't result in a longer string, use the next part. "longest:full" Like "longest", but also start 'wildmenu' if it is enabled. "list" When more than one match, list all matches. "list:full" When more than one match, list all matches and complete first match. "list:longest" When more than one match, list all matches and complete till longest common string. "list:lastused" When more than one buffer matches, sort buffers by time last used (other than the current buffer). When there is only a single match, it is fully completed in all cases. Examples: > :set wildmode=full < Complete first full match, next match, etc. (the default) > :set wildmode=longest,full < Complete longest common string, then each full match > :set wildmode=list:full < List all matches and complete each full match > :set wildmode=list,full < List all matches without completing, then each full match > :set wildmode=longest,list < Complete longest common string, then list alternatives. More info here: \|cmdline-completion\|. 'wildoptions' 'wop' 'wildoptions' 'wop' string (default "") global {not available when compiled without the \|+wildignore\| feature} A list of words that change how command line completion is done. Currently only one word is allowed: tagfile When using CTRL-D to list matching tags, the kind of tag and the file of the tag is listed. Only one match is displayed per line. Often used tag kinds are: d #define f function Also see \|cmdline-completion\|. 'winaltkeys' 'wak' 'winaltkeys' 'wak' string (default "menu") global {only used in Win32, Motif, GTK and Photon GUI} Some GUI versions allow the access to menu entries by using the ALT key in combination with a character that appears underlined in the menu. This conflicts with the use of the ALT key for mappings and entering special characters. This option tells what to do: no Don't use ALT keys for menus. ALT key combinations can be mapped, but there is no automatic handling. This can then be done with the \|:simalt\| command. yes ALT key handling is done by the windowing system. ALT key combinations cannot be mapped. menu Using ALT in combination with a character that is a menu shortcut key, will be handled by the windowing system. Other keys can be mapped. If the menu is disabled by excluding 'm' from 'guioptions', the ALT key is never used for the menu. This option is not used for <F10>; on Win32 and with GTK <F10> will select the menu, unless it has been mapped. 'wincolor' 'wcr' 'wincolor' 'wcr' string (default empty) local to window Highlight group name to use for this window instead of the Normal color \|hl-Normal\|. 'window' 'wi' 'window' 'wi' number (default screen height - 1) global Window height. Do not confuse this with the height of the Vim window, use 'lines' for that. Used for \|CTRL-F\| and \|CTRL-B\| when there is only one window and the value is smaller than 'lines' minus one. The screen will scroll 'window' minus two lines, with a minimum of one. When 'window' is equal to 'lines' minus one CTRL-F and CTRL-B scroll in a much smarter way, taking care of wrapping lines. When resizing the Vim window, the value is smaller than 1 or more than or equal to 'lines' it will be set to 'lines' minus 1. 'winheight' 'wh' E591 'winheight' 'wh' number (default 1) global Minimal number of lines for the current window. This is not a hard minimum, Vim will use fewer lines if there is not enough room. If the focus goes to a window that is smaller, its size is increased, at the cost of the height of other windows. Set 'winheight' to a small number for normal editing. Set it to 999 to make the current window fill most of the screen. Other windows will be only 'winminheight' high. This has the drawback that ":all" will create only two windows. To avoid "vim -o 1 2 3 4" to create only two windows, set the option after startup is done, using the \|VimEnter\| event: > au VimEnter * set winheight=999 < Minimum value is 1. The height is not adjusted after one of the commands that change the height of the current window. 'winheight' applies to the current window. Use 'winminheight' to set the minimal height for other windows. 'winfixheight' 'wfh' 'nowinfixheight' 'nowfh' 'winfixheight' 'wfh' boolean (default off) local to window Keep the window height when windows are opened or closed and 'equalalways' is set. Also for \|CTRL-W_=\|. Set by default for the \|preview-window\| and \|quickfix-window\|. The height may be changed anyway when running out of room. 'winfixwidth' 'wfw' 'nowinfixwidth' 'nowfw' 'winfixwidth' 'wfw' boolean (default off) local to window Keep the window width when windows are opened or closed and 'equalalways' is set. Also for \|CTRL-W_=\|. The width may be changed anyway when running out of room. 'winminheight' 'wmh' 'winminheight' 'wmh' number (default 1) global The minimal height of a window, when it's not the current window. This is a hard minimum, windows will never become smaller. When set to zero, windows may be "squashed" to zero lines (i.e. just a status bar) if necessary. They will return to at least one line when they become active (since the cursor has to have somewhere to go.) Use 'winheight' to set the minimal height of the current window. This option is only checked when making a window smaller. Don't use a large number, it will cause errors when opening more than a few windows. A value of 0 to 3 is reasonable. 'winminwidth' 'wmw' 'winminwidth' 'wmw' number (default 1) global The minimal width of a window, when it's not the current window. This is a hard minimum, windows will never become smaller. When set to zero, windows may be "squashed" to zero columns (i.e. just a vertical separator) if necessary. They will return to at least one line when they become active (since the cursor has to have somewhere to go.) Use 'winwidth' to set the minimal width of the current window. This option is only checked when making a window smaller. Don't use a large number, it will cause errors when opening more than a few windows. A value of 0 to 12 is reasonable. 'winptydll' 'winptydll' string (default "winpty32.dll" or "winpty64.dll") global {only available when compiled with the \|terminal\| feature on MS-Windows} Specifies the name of the winpty shared library, used for the \|:terminal\| command. The default depends on whether Vim was built as a 32-bit or 64-bit executable. If not found, "winpty.dll" is tried as a fallback. Environment variables are expanded \|:set_env\|. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. 'winwidth' 'wiw' E592 'winwidth' 'wiw' number (default 20) global Minimal number of columns for the current window. This is not a hard minimum, Vim will use fewer columns if there is not enough room. If the current window is smaller, its size is increased, at the cost of the width of other windows. Set it to 999 to make the current window always fill the screen. Set it to a small number for normal editing. The width is not adjusted after one of the commands to change the width of the current window. 'winwidth' applies to the current window. Use 'winminwidth' to set the minimal width for other windows. 'wrap' 'nowrap' 'wrap' boolean (default on) local to window This option changes how text is displayed. It doesn't change the text in the buffer, see 'textwidth' for that. When on, lines longer than the width of the window will wrap and displaying continues on the next line. When off lines will not wrap and only part of long lines will be displayed. When the cursor is moved to a part that is not shown, the screen will scroll horizontally. The line will be broken in the middle of a word if necessary. See 'linebreak' to get the break at a word boundary. To make scrolling horizontally a bit more useful, try this: > :set sidescroll=5 :set listchars+=precedes:<,extends:> < See 'sidescroll', 'listchars' and \|wrap-off\|. This option can't be set from a \|modeline\| when the 'diff' option is on. 'wrapmargin' 'wm' 'wrapmargin' 'wm' number (default 0) local to buffer Number of characters from the right window border where wrapping starts. When typing text beyond this limit, an <EOL> will be inserted and inserting continues on the next line. Options that add a margin, such as 'number' and 'foldcolumn', cause the text width to be further reduced. This is Vi compatible. When 'textwidth' is non-zero, this option is not used. This option is set to 0 when 'paste' is set and restored when 'paste' is reset. See also 'formatoptions' and \|ins-textwidth\|. 'wrapscan' 'ws' 'nowrapscan' 'nows' 'wrapscan' 'ws' boolean (default on) E384 E385 global Searches wrap around the end of the file. Also applies to \|]s\| and \|[s\|, searching for spelling mistakes. 'write' 'nowrite' 'write' boolean (default on) global Allows writing files. When not set, writing a file is not allowed. Can be used for a view-only mode, where modifications to the text are still allowed. Can be reset with the \|-m\| or \|-M\| command line argument. Filtering text is still possible, even though this requires writing a temporary file. 'writeany' 'wa' 'nowriteany' 'nowa' 'writeany' 'wa' boolean (default off) global Allows writing to any file with no need for "!" override. 'writebackup' 'wb' 'nowritebackup' 'nowb' 'writebackup' 'wb' boolean (default on with \|+writebackup\| feature, off otherwise) global Make a backup before overwriting a file. The backup is removed after the file was successfully written, unless the 'backup' option is also on. WARNING: Switching this option off means that when Vim fails to write your buffer correctly and then, for whatever reason, Vim exits, you lose both the original file and what you were writing. Only reset this option if your file system is almost full and it makes the write fail (and make sure not to exit Vim until the write was successful). See \|backup-table\| for another explanation. When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway. Depending on 'backupcopy' the backup is a new file or the original file renamed (and a new file is written). NOTE: This option is set to the default value when 'compatible' is set. 'writedelay' 'wd' 'writedelay' 'wd' number (default 0) global The number of milliseconds to wait for each character sent to the screen. When non-zero, characters are sent to the terminal one by one. For debugging purposes. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	382.14 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 os_390.txt os_390.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Dec 07 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Ralf Schandl zOS z/OS OS390 os390 MVS This file contains the particulars for the z/OS UNIX version of Vim. 1. ASCII/EBCDIC dependent scripts \|zOS-has-ebcdic\| 2. Putty and Colors \|zOS-PuTTY\| 3. Motif Problems \|zOS-Motif\| 4. Bugs \|zOS-Bugs\| 5. Limitations \|zOS-limitations\| 6. Open source on z/OS UNIX \|zOS-open-source\| Contributors: ~ The port to z/OS UNIX was done by Ralf Schandl for the Redbook mentioned below. Changes, bug-reports, or both by: David Moore Anthony Giorgio and others ============================================================================== 1. ASCII/EBCDIC dependent scripts OS390-has-ebcdic zOS-has-ebcdic For the internal script language the feature "ebcdic" was added. With this you can fix ASCII dependent scripts like this: > if has("ebcdic") let space = 64 else let space = 32 endif < ============================================================================== 2. PuTTY and Colors OS390-PuTTY zOS-PuTTY If you see problems with syntax highlighting or screen corruptions when you connect to z/OS using Putty, try the following: - Configure Putty as "vt220" terminal (Connection->Data) - Add the following 3 lines to your vimrc: > set t_AB=[4%p1%dm set t_AF=[3%p1%dm set t_CO=8 < Note: is one character use <C-V><Esc> to enter it. ============================================================================== 3. Motif Problems OS390-Motif zOS-Motif Note: Seen with Vim 6., never tested since. It seems that in porting the Motif library to z/OS, a translation from EBCDIC to ASCII for the accelerator characters of the pull-down menus was forgotten. Even after I tried to hand convert the menus, the accelerator keys continued to only work for the opening of menus (like <Alt-F> to open the file menu). They still do not work for the menu items themselves (like <Alt-F>O to open the file browser). There is no solution for this yet. ============================================================================== 4. Bugs OS390-bugs* zOS-Bugs - Vim will consistently hang when a large amount of text is selected in visual block mode. This may be due to a memory corruption issue. Note that this occurs in both the terminal and gui versions. ============================================================================== 5. Limitations OS390-limitations zOS-limitations - No binary search in tag files. The program /bin/sort sorts by ASCII value by default. This program is normally used by ctags to sort the tags. There might be a version of ctags out there, that does it right, but we can't be sure. So this seems to be a permanent restriction. - The cscope interface (\|cscope\|) doesn't work for the version of cscope that we use on our mainframe. We have a copy of version 15.0b12, and it causes Vim to hang when using the "cscope add" command. I'm guessing that the binary format of the cscope database isn't quite what Vim is expecting. I've tried to port the current version of cscope (15.3) to z/OS, without much success. If anyone is interested in trying, drop me a line if you make any progress. - No glib/gtk support. I have not been able to successfully compile glib on z/OS UNIX. This means you'll have to live without the pretty gtk toolbar. Disabled at compile time: - Multibyte support (\|multibyte\|) - Right-to-left mode (\|rileft\|) - Farsi key map (\|Farsi\|) - Arabic language support (\|Arabic\|) - Spell checking (\|spell\|) Never tested: - Perl interface (\|perl\|) - Hangul input (\|hangul\|) - Encryption support (\|encryption\|) - Langmap (\|'langmap'\|) - Python support (\|Python\|) - Right-to-left mode (\|'rightleft'\|) - TCL interface (\|tcl\|) ... ============================================================================== 6. Open source on z/OS UNIX OS390-open-source zOS-open-source If you are interested in other Open Source Software on z/OS UNIX, have a look at the following Redbook: Mike MacIsaac et al "Open Source Software for z/OS and OS/390 UNIX" IBM Form Number: SG24-5944-01 ISBN: 0738424633 http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/resources/servers_eserver_zseries_zos_unix_redbook_sg245944.pdf Also look at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/unix/ http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/unix/library/IBM+Redbooks/index.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	4.64 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 os_amiga.txt os_amiga.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2010 Aug 14 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Amiga This file contains the particularities for the Amiga version of Vim. There is also a section specifically for \|MorphOS\| below. NOTE: The Amiga code is still included, but has not been maintained or tested. Installation on the Amiga: - Assign "VIM:" to the directory where the Vim "doc" directory is. Vim will look for the file "VIM:doc/help.txt" (for the help command). Setting the environment variable $VIM also works. And the other way around: when $VIM used and it is not defined, "VIM:" is used. - With DOS 1.3 or earlier: Put "arp.library" in "libs:". Vim must have been compiled with the \|+ARP\| feature enabled. Make sure that newcli and run are in "C:" (for executing external commands). - Put a shell that accepts a command with "-c" (e.g. "Csh" from Fish disk 624) in "c:" or in any other directory that is in your search path (for executing external commands). If you have sufficient memory you can avoid startup delays by making Vim and csh resident with the command "rez csh vim". You will have to put "rezlib.library" in your "libs:" directory. Under 2.0 you will need rez version 0.5. If you do not use digraphs, you can save some memory by recompiling without the \|+digraphs\| feature. If you want to use Vim with other terminals you can recompile with the TERMCAP option. Vim compiles with Manx 5.x and SAS 6.x. See the makefiles and feature.h. If you notice Vim crashes on some files when syntax highlighting is on, or when using a search pattern with nested wildcards, it might be that the stack is too small. Try increasing the stack size. In a shell use the Stack command before launching Vim. On the Workbench, select the Vim icon, use the workbench "Info" menu and change the Stack field in the form. If you want to use different colors set the termcap codes: t_mr (for inverted text) t_md (for bold text) t_me (for normal text after t_mr and t_md) t_so (for standout mode) t_se (for normal text after t_so) t_us (for underlined text) t_ue (for normal text after t_us) t_ZH (for italic text) t_ZR (for normal text after t_ZH) Standard ANSI escape sequences are used. The codes are: 30 grey char 40 grey cell >0 grey background 0 all attributes off 31 black char 41 black cell >1 black background 1 boldface 32 white char 42 white cell >2 white background 2 faint 33 blue char 43 blue cell >3 blue background 3 italic 34 grey char 44 grey cell >4 grey background 4 underscore 35 black char 45 black cell >5 black background 7 reverse video 36 white char 46 white cell >6 white background 8 invisible 37 blue char 47 blue cell >7 blue background The codes with '>' must be the last. The cell and background color should be the same. The codes can be combined by separating them with a semicolon. For example to get white text on a blue background: > :set t_me=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m :set t_se=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m :set t_ue=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m :set t_ZR=^V<Esc>[0;32;43;>3m :set t_md=^V<Esc>[1;32;43;>3m :set t_mr=^V<Esc>[7;32;43;>3m :set t_so=^V<Esc>[0;31;43;>3m :set t_us=^V<Esc>[4;32;43;>3m :set t_ZH=^V<Esc>[3;32;43;>3m When using multiple commands with a filter command, e.g. > :r! echo this; echo that Only the output of the last command is used. To fix this you have to group the commands. This depends on the shell you use (that is why it is not done automatically in Vim). Examples: > :r! (echo this; echo that) :r! {echo this; echo that} Commands that accept a single file name allow for embedded spaces in the file name. However, when using commands that accept several file names, embedded spaces need to be escaped with a backslash. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vim for MorphOS MorphOS [this section mostly by Ali Akcaagac] For the latest info about the MorphOS version: http://www.akcaagac.com/index_vim.html Problems ~ There are a couple of problems which are not MorphOS related but more Vim and UN*X related. When starting up Vim in ram: it complains with a nag requester from MorphOS please simply ignore it. Another problem is when running Vim as is some plugins will cause a few problems which you can ignore as well. Hopefully someone will be fixing it over the time. To pass all these problems for now you can either run: vim <file to be edited> or if you want to run Vim plain and enjoy the motion of Helpfiles etc. it then would be better to enter: vim --noplugins <of course you can add a file> Installation ~ 1) Please copy the binary 'VIM' file to c: 2) Get the Vim runtime package from: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/amiga/vim62rt.tgz and unpack it in your 'Apps' directory of the MorphOS installation. For me this would create following directory hierarchy: MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62/... 3) Add the following lines to your s:shell-startup (Important!). ;Begin VIM Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62 Assign HOME: "" ;End VIM 4) Copy the '.vimrc' file to s: 5) There is also a file named 'color-sequence' included in this archive. This will set the MorphOS Shell to show ANSI colors. Please copy the file to s: and change the s:shell-startup to: ;Begin VIM Set VIM=MorphOS:Apps/Vim/Vim62 Assign HOME: "" Execute S:Color-Sequence Cls ;End VIM vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	5.34 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

📄 os_dos.txt os_dos.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2006 Mar 30 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar dos DOS This file documents the common particularities of the MS-DOS and Win32 versions of Vim. Also see \|os_win32.txt\| and \|os_msdos.txt\|. 1. File locations \|dos-locations\| 2. Using backslashes \|dos-backslash\| 3. Standard mappings \|dos-standard-mappings\| 4. Screen output and colors \|dos-colors\| 5. File formats \|dos-file-formats\| 6. :cd command \|dos-:cd\| 7. Interrupting \|dos-CTRL-Break\| 8. Temp files \|dos-temp-files\| 9. Shell option default \|dos-shell\| ============================================================================== 1. File locations dos-locations If you keep the Vim executable in the directory that contains the help and syntax subdirectories, there is no need to do anything special for Vim to work. No registry entries or environment variables need to be set. Just make sure that the directory is in your search path, or use a shortcut on the desktop. Your vimrc files ("_vimrc" and "_gvimrc") are normally located one directory up from the runtime files. If you want to put them somewhere else, set the environment variable $VIM to the directory where you keep them. Example: > set VIM=C:\user\piet Will find "c:\user\piet\_vimrc". Note: This would only be needed when the computer is used by several people. Otherwise it's simpler to keep your _vimrc file in the default place. If you move the executable to another location, you also need to set the $VIM environment variable. The runtime files will be found in "$VIM/vim{version}". Example: > set VIM=E:\vim Will find the version 8.2 runtime files in "e:\vim\vim82". Note: This is _not_ recommended. The preferred way is to keep the executable in the runtime directory. If you move your executable AND want to put your "_vimrc" and "_gvimrc" files somewhere else, you must set $VIM to where you vimrc files are, and set $VIMRUNTIME to the runtime files. Example: > set VIM=C:\usr\piet set VIMRUNTIME=E:\vim\vim82 Will find "c:\user\piet\_vimrc" and the runtime files in "e:\vim\vim82". See \|$VIM\| and \|$VIMRUNTIME\| for more information. You can set environment variables for each user separately through the System Properties dialog box. The steps to do that: 1. Type Windows Key + R to open the "Run" dialog box. 2. Enter "sysdm.cpl" and press the "OK" button. The "System Properties" dialog box will open. 3. Select the "Advanced" tab and press the "Environment Variables..." button. The "Environment Variables" dialog box will open. 4. Select an existing variable in the "User variables" list and press the "Edit..." button to edit it. Or press the "New..." button to add a new variable. 5. After you finished editing variables, press the "OK" button to save the changes. ============================================================================== 2. Using backslashes dos-backslash Using backslashes in file names can be a problem. Vi halves the number of backslashes for some commands. Vim is a bit more tolerant and does not remove backslashes from a file name, so ":e c:\foo\bar" works as expected. But when a backslash occurs before a special character (space, comma, backslash, etc.), Vim removes the backslash. Use slashes to avoid problems: ":e c:/foo/bar" works fine. Vim replaces the slashes with backslashes internally to avoid problems with some MS-DOS programs and Win32 programs. When you prefer to use forward slashes, set the 'shellslash' option. Vim will then replace backslashes with forward slashes when expanding file names. This is especially useful when using a Unix-like 'shell'. ============================================================================== 3. Standard mappings dos-standard-mappings The mappings for CTRL-PageUp and CTRL-PageDown have been removed, they now jump to the next or previous tab page \|<C-PageUp>\| \|<C-PageDown>\| If you want them to move to the first and last screen line you can use these mappings: key key code Normal/Visual mode Insert mode ~ CTRL-PageUp <M-N><M-C-D> H <C-O>H CTRL-PageDown <M-N>v L$ <C-O>L<C-O>$ Additionally, these keys are available for copy/cut/paste. In the Win32 and DJGPP versions, they also use the clipboard. Shift-Insert paste text (from clipboard) <S-Insert> CTRL-Insert copy Visual text (to clipboard) <C-Insert> CTRL-Del cut Visual text (to clipboard) <C-Del> Shift-Del cut Visual text (to clipboard) <S-Del> CTRL-X cut Visual text (to clipboard) These mappings accomplish this (Win32 and DJGPP versions of Vim): key key code Normal Visual Insert ~ Shift-Insert <M-N><M-T> "P "-d"P <C-R><C-O>* CTRL-Insert <M-N><M-U> "y Shift-Del <M-N><M-W> "d CTRL-Del <M-N><M-X> "d CTRL-X <C-X> "d Or these mappings (non-Win32 version of Vim): key key code Normal Visual Insert ~ Shift-Insert <M-N><M-T> P "-dP <C-R><C-O>" CTRL-Insert <M-N><M-U> y Shift-Del <M-N><M-W> d CTRL-Del <M-N><M-X> d When the clipboard is supported, the "* register is used. ============================================================================== 4. Screen output and colors dos-colors The default output method for the screen is to use bios calls. This works right away on most systems. You do not need ansi.sys. You can use ":mode" to set the current screen mode. See \|:mode\|. To change the screen colors that Vim uses, you can use the \|:highlight\| command. The Normal highlight group specifies the colors Vim uses for normal text. For example, to get grey text on a blue background: > :hi Normal ctermbg=Blue ctermfg=grey See \|highlight-groups\| for other groups that are available. A DOS console does not support attributes like bold and underlining. You can set the color used in five modes with nine terminal options. Note that this is not necessary since you can set the color directly with the ":highlight" command; these options are for backward compatibility with older Vim versions. The \|'highlight'\| option specifies which of the five modes is used for which action. > :set t_mr=^V^[\\|xxm start of invert mode :set t_md=^V^[\\|xxm start of bold mode :set t_me=^V^[\\|xxm back to normal text :set t_so=^V^[\\|xxm start of standout mode :set t_se=^V^[\\|xxm back to normal text :set t_us=^V^[\\|xxm start of underline mode :set t_ue=^V^[\\|xxm back to normal text :set t_ZH=^V^[\\|xxm start of italics mode :set t_ZR=^V^[\\|xxm back to normal text ^V is CTRL-V ^[ is <Esc> You must replace xx with a decimal code, which is the foreground color number and background color number added together: COLOR FOREGROUND BACKGROUND ~ Black 0 0 DarkBlue 1 16 DarkGreen 2 32 DarkCyan 3 48 DarkRed 4 64 DarkMagenta 5 80 Brown, DarkYellow 6 96 LightGray 7 112 DarkGray 8 128 * Blue, LightBlue 9 144 * Green, LightGreen 10 160 * Cyan, LightCyan 11 176 * Red, LightRed 12 192 * Magenta, LightMagenta 13 208 * Yellow, LightYellow 14 224 * White 15 240 * * Depending on the display mode, the color codes above 128 may not be available, and code 128 will make the text blink. When you use 0, the color is reset to the one used when you started Vim (usually 7, lightgray on black, but you can override this. If you have overridden the default colors in a command prompt, you may need to adjust some of the highlight colors in your vimrc---see below). This is the default for t_me. The defaults for the various highlight modes are: t_mr 112 reverse mode: Black text (0) on LightGray (112) t_md 15 bold mode: White text (15) on Black (0) t_me 0 normal mode (revert to default) t_so 31 standout mode: White (15) text on DarkBlue (16) t_se 0 standout mode end (revert to default) t_czh 225 italic mode: DarkBlue text (1) on Yellow (224) t_czr 0 italic mode end (revert to default) t_us 67 underline mode: DarkCyan text (3) on DarkRed (64) t_ue 0 underline mode end (revert to default) These colors were chosen because they also look good when using an inverted display, but you can change them to your liking. Example: > :set t_mr=^V^[\\|97m " start of invert mode: DarkBlue (1) on Brown (96) :set t_md=^V^[\\|67m " start of bold mode: DarkCyan (3) on DarkRed (64) :set t_me=^V^[\\|112m " back to normal mode: Black (0) on LightGray (112) :set t_so=^V^[\\|37m " start of standout mode: DarkMagenta (5) on DarkGreen (32) :set t_se=^V^[\\|112m " back to normal mode: Black (0) on LightGray (112) ============================================================================== 5. File formats dos-file-formats If the 'fileformat' option is set to "dos" (which is the default), Vim accepts a single <NL> or a <CR><NL> pair for end-of-line (<EOL>). When writing a file, Vim uses <CR><NL>. Thus, if you edit a file and write it, Vim replaces <NL> with <CR><NL>. If the 'fileformat' option is set to "unix", Vim uses a single <NL> for <EOL> and shows <CR> as ^M. You can use Vim to replace <NL> with <CR><NL> by reading in any mode and writing in Dos mode (":se ff=dos"). You can use Vim to replace <CR><NL> with <NL> by reading in Dos mode and writing in Unix mode (":se ff=unix"). Vim sets 'fileformat' automatically when 'fileformats' is not empty (which is the default), so you don't really have to worry about what you are doing. \|'fileformat'\| \|'fileformats'\| If you want to edit a script file or a binary file, you should set the 'binary' option before loading the file. Script files and binary files may contain single <NL> characters which Vim would replace with <CR><NL>. You can set 'binary' automatically by starting Vim with the "-b" (binary) option. ============================================================================== 6. :cd command dos-:cd The ":cd" command recognizes the drive specifier and changes the current drive. Use ":cd c:" to make drive C the active drive. Use ":cd d:\foo" to go to the directory "foo" in the root of drive D. Vim also recognizes UNC names if the system supports them; e.g., ":cd \\server\share\dir". \|:cd\| ============================================================================== 7. Interrupting dos-CTRL-Break Use CTRL-Break instead of CTRL-C to interrupt searches. Vim does not detect the CTRL-C until it tries to read a key. ============================================================================== 8. Temp files dos-temp-files Only for the 16 bit and 32 bit DOS version: Vim puts temporary files (for filtering) in the first of these directories that exists and in which Vim can create a file: $TMP $TEMP C:\TMP C:\TEMP current directory For the Win32 version (both console and GUI): Vim uses standard Windows functions to obtain a temporary file name (for filtering). The first of these directories that exists and in which Vim can create a file is used: $TMP $TEMP current directory ============================================================================== 9. Shell option default dos-shell The default for the 'sh' ('shell') option is "command.com" on Windows 95 and "cmd.exe" on Windows NT. If SHELL is defined, Vim uses SHELL instead, and if SHELL is not defined but COMSPEC is, Vim uses COMSPEC. Vim starts external commands with "<shell> /c <command_name>". Typing CTRL-Z starts a new command subshell. Return to Vim with "exit". \|'shell'\| \|CTRL-Z\| If you are running a third-party shell, you may need to set the \|'shellcmdflag'\| ('shcf') and \|'shellquote'\| ('shq') or \|'shellxquote'\| ('sxq') options. Unfortunately, this also depends on the version of Vim used. For example, with the MKS Korn shell or with bash, the values of the options should be: DOS 16 bit DOS 32 bit Win32 ~ 'shellcmdflag' -c -c -c 'shellquote' " 'shellxquote' " For Dos 16 bit this starts the shell as: <shell> -c "command name" >file For Win32 as: <shell> -c "command name >file" For DOS 32 bit, DJGPP does this internally somehow. When starting up, Vim checks for the presence of "sh" anywhere in the 'shell' option. If it is present, Vim sets the 'shellcmdflag' and 'shellquote' or 'shellxquote' options will be set as described above. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	12.09 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 os_haiku.txt os_haiku.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 May 13 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Haiku This file contains the particularities for the Haiku version of Vim. For matters not discussed in this file, Vim behaves very much like the Unix \|os_unix.txt\| version. Haiku is an open-source operating system inspired by BeOS, that specifically targets personal computing. 1. General \|haiku-general\| 2. Compiling Vim \|haiku-compiling\| 3. The Haiku GUI \|haiku-gui\| 4. The $VIM directory \|haiku-vimdir\| 5. The $USER_SETTINGS_DIR directory \|haiku-user-settings-dir\| 6. Drag & Drop \|haiku-dragndrop\| 7. Single Launch vs. Multiple Launch \|haiku-launch\| 8. Fonts \|haiku-fonts\| 9. The meta key modifier \|haiku-meta\| 10. Mouse key mappings \|haiku-mouse\| 11. Color names \|haiku-colors\| 12. GUI Toolbar Images \|haiku-toolbar-images\| 13. Credits \|haiku-support-credits\| 14. Bugs & to-do \|haiku-bugs\| 1. General haiku-general The default syntax highlighting mostly works with different foreground colors to highlight items. This works best if you set your Terminal window to a darkish background and light letters. Some middle-grey background (for instance (r,g,b)=(168,168,168)) with black letters also works nicely. 2. Compiling Vim haiku-compiling Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. Running ./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=haiku, will compile vim with the Haiku GUI support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other features you can enable/disable. Haiku uses "ncurses6" as its terminal library, therefore you need to have "ncurses6_devel" package installed from HaikuDepot in order to configure the Haiku build. Just append "--with-tlib=ncurses6" to ./configure command Now you should use "make" to compile Vim, then "make install" to install it. For seamless integration into Haiku, the GUI-less vim binary should be additionally installed over the GUI version. Typical build commands are: ./configure --prefix=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY` \ --datarootdir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DATA_DIRECTORY` \ --mandir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY`/documentation/man \ make clean make install ./configure --prefix=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY` \ --datarootdir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DATA_DIRECTORY` \ --mandir=`finddir B_SYSTEM_NONPACKAGED_DIRECTORY`/documentation/man \ --disable-gui make clean make install 3. The Haiku GUI haiku-gui Normally Vim starts with the GUI if you start it as gvim or vim -g. The vim version with GUI tries to determine if it was started from the Tracker instead of the Terminal, and if so, uses the GUI anyway. However, the current detection scheme is fooled if you use the command "vim - </dev/null". Stuff that does not work yet: - Mouse up events are not generated when outside the window. You can notice this when selecting text and moving the cursor outside the window, then letting go of the mouse button. Another way is when you drag the scrollbar and do the same thing. Because Vim still thinks you are still playing with the scrollbar it won't change it itself. There is a workaround which kicks in when the window is activated or deactivated (so it works best with focus- follows-mouse turned on). - The cursor does not flash. 4. The $VIM directory haiku-vimdir $VIM is the symbolic name for the place where Vim's support files are stored. The default value for $VIM is set at compile time and can be determined with: :version The normal value is /boot/system/data/vim for Haikuports version, /boot/system/non-packaged/data/vim for manual builds. If you don't like it you can set the VIM environment variable to override this, or set 'helpfile' in your .vimrc: > :if version >= 500 : set helpfile=~/vim/runtime/doc/help.txt : syntax on :endif 5. The $USER_SETTINGS_DIR directory haiku-user-settings-dir $USER_SETTINGS_DIR is the symbolic name for the place where Haiku configuration and settings files are stored. The normal value is /boot/home/config/settings. 6. Drag & Drop haiku-dragndrop You can drop files and directories on either the Vim icon (starts a new Vim session, unless you use the File Types application to set Vim to be "Single Launch") or on the Vim window (starts editing the files). Dropping a folder sets Vim's current working directory \|:cd\| \|:pwd\|. If you drop files or folders with either SHIFT key pressed, Vim changes directory to the folder that contains the first item dropped. When starting Vim, there is no need to press shift: Vim behaves as if you do. Files dropped set the current argument list. \|argument-list\| 7. Single Launch vs. Multiple Launch haiku-launch As distributed Vim's Application Flags (as seen in the FileTypes preference) are set to Multiple Launch. If you prefer, you can set them to Single Launch instead. Attempts to start a second copy of Vim will cause the first Vim to open the files instead. This works from the Tracker but also from the command line. In the latter case, non-file (option) arguments are not supported. Another drawback of the Single Launch is silent ignore of "Open With ..." requests by vim instance that running as non-GUI application even GUI support was compiled in. Vim instance running with GUI has no such problems. NB: Only the GUI version has a BApplication (and hence Application Flags). This section does not apply to the GUI-less version, should you compile one. 8. Fonts haiku-fonts Set fonts with > :set guifont=DejaVu_Sans_Mono/Book/12 where the first part is the font family, the second part the style, and the third part the size. You can use underscores instead of spaces in family and style. Best results are obtained with monospaced fonts. Vim attempts to use all fonts in B_FIXED_SPACING mode but apparently this does not work for proportional fonts (despite what the BeBook says). To verify which encodings are supported by the current font give the > :digraphs command, which lists a bunch of characters with their ISO Latin 1 encoding. If, for instance, there are "box" characters among them, or the last character isn't a dotted-y, then for this font the encoding does not work. If the font you specify is unavailable, you get the system fixed font. GUI Font Selection Dialog is available at giving the: :set guifont=* command. 9. The meta key modifier haiku-meta The META key modifier is obtained by the left or right OPTION keys. This is because the ALT (aka COMMAND) keys are not passed to applications. 10. Mouse key mappings haiku-mouse Vim calls the various mouse buttons LeftMouse, MiddleMouse and RightMouse. If you use the default Mouse preference settings these names indeed correspond to reality. Vim uses this mapping: Button 1 -> LeftMouse, Button 2 -> RightMouse, Button 3 -> MiddleMouse. If your mouse has fewer than 3 buttons you can provide your own mapping from mouse clicks with modifier(s) to other mouse buttons. See the file $VIM/macros/swapmous.vim for an example. \|gui-mouse-mapping\| 11. Color names haiku-colors Vim has a number of color names built-in. Additional names are read from the file $VIMRUNTIME/rgb.txt, if present. This file is basically the color database from X. Names used from this file are cached for efficiency. 12. GUI Toolbar Images haiku-toolbar-images Alternative set of toolbar images should be the PNG image of any height you like. Image width is calculated to contain at least 32 buttons in one-row cells. The image should be stored under the name $VIRUNTIME/bitmaps/builtin-tools.png More info about the buttons assignment are at \|builtin-tools\|. 13.

📄 os_mac.txt os_mac.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Apr 21 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar et al. mac Mac macintosh Macintosh This file documents the particularities of the Macintosh version of Vim. NOTE: This file is a bit outdated. You might find more useful info here: http://macvim.org/ 1. Filename Convention \|mac-filename\| 2. .vimrc and .vim files \|mac-vimfile\| 3. Standard mappings \|mac-standard-mappings\| 4. FAQ \|mac-faq\| 5. Known Lack \|mac-lack\| 6. Mac Bug Report \|mac-bug\| 7. Compiling Vim \|mac-compile\| 8. The darwin feature \|mac-darwin-feature\| There was a Mac port for version 3.0 of Vim. Here are the first few lines from the old file: VIM Release Notes Initial Macintosh release, VIM version 3.0 19 October 1994 Eric Fischer <enf1@midway.uchicago.edu>, <eric@jcp.uchicago.edu>, <etaoin@uchicago.edu> 5759 N. Guilford Ave Indianapolis IN 46220 USA ============================================================================== 1. Filename Convention mac-filename Starting with Vim version 7 you can just use the unix path separators with Vim. In order to determine if the specified filename is relative to the current folder or absolute (i.e. relative to the "Desktop"), the following algorithm is used: If the path start by a "/", the path is absolute If the path start by a ":", the path is relative If the path doesn't start by neither a "/" nor ":", and a ":" is found before a "/" then the path is absolute > :e /HD/text :e HD:text < Edit the file "text" of the disk "HD" > :e :src:main.c :e src/main.c < Edit the file "main.c" in the folder "src" in the current folder > :e os_mac.c < Edit the file "os_mac.c" in the current folder. You can use the \|$VIM\| and \|$VIMRUNTIME\| variable. > :so $VIMRUNTIME:syntax:syntax.vim ============================================================================== 2. .vimrc and .vim files mac-vimfile It is recommended to use Unix style line separators for Vim scripts, thus a single newline character. When starting up Vim will load the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim script to define default command-key mappings. On older systems files starting with a dot "." are discouraged, thus the rc files are named "vimrc" or "_vimrc" and "gvimrc" or "_gvimrc". These files can be in any format (mac, dos or unix). Vim can handle any file format when the \|'nocompatible'\| option is set, otherwise it will only handle mac format files. ============================================================================== 3. Standard mappings mac-standard-mappings The following mappings are available for cut/copy/paste from/to clipboard. key Normal Visual Insert Description ~ Command-v "P "-d"P <C-R>* paste text <D-v> Command-c "y copy Visual text <D-c>* Command-x "d cut Visual text <D-x>* Backspace "d cut Visual text ============================================================================== 4. Mac FAQ mac-faq* On the internet: http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php#FAQ Q: I can't enter non-ASCII character in Apple Terminal. A: Under Window Settings, Emulation, make sure that "Escape non-ASCII characters" is not checked. Q: How do I start the GUI from the command line? A: Assuming that Vim.app is located in /Applications: open /Applications/Vim.app Or: /Applications/Vim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g {arguments} Q: How can I set $PATH to something reasonable when I start Vim.app from the GUI or with open? A: The following trick works with most shells. Put it in your vimrc file. This is included in the system vimrc file included with the binaries distributed at macvim.org . > let s:path = system("echo echo VIMPATH'${PATH}' \| $SHELL -l") let $PATH = matchstr(s:path, 'VIMPATH\zs.\{-}\ze\n') ============================================================================== 5. Mac Lack mac-lack In a terminal CTRL-^ needs to be entered as Shift-Control-6. CTRL-@ as Shift-Control-2. ============================================================================== 6. Mac Bug Report mac-bug When reporting any Mac specific bug or feature change, please use the vim-mac maillist \|vim-mac\|. However, you need to be subscribed. An alternative is to send a message to the current MacVim maintainers: mac@vim.org ============================================================================== 7. Compiling Vim mac-compile See the file "src/INSTALLmac.txt" that comes with the source files. ============================================================================== 8. The Darwin Feature mac-darwin-feature If you have a Mac that isn't very old, you will be running OS X, also called Darwin. The last pre-Darwin OS was Mac OS 9. The darwin feature makes Vim use Darwin-specific properties. What is accomplished with this feature is two-fold: - Make Vim interoperable with the system clipboard. - Incorporate into Vim a converter module that bridges the gap between some character encodings specific to the platform and those known to Vim. Needless to say, both are not to be missed for any decent text editor to work nicely with other applications running on the same desktop environment. As Vim is not an application dedicated only to macOS, we need an extra feature to add in order for it to offer the same user experience that our users on other platforms enjoy to people on macOS. For brevity, the feature is referred to as "darwin" to signify it one of the Vim features that are specific to that particular platform. The feature is a configuration option. Accordingly, whether it is enabled or not is determined at build time; once it is selected to be enabled, it is compiled in and hence cannot be disabled at runtime. The feature is enabled by default. For most macOS users, that should be sufficient unless they have specific needs mentioned briefly below. If you want to disable it, pass `--disable-darwin` to the configure script: > ./configure --disable-darwin <other options> and then run `make` to build Vim. The order of the options doesn't matter. To make sure at runtime whether or not the darwin feature is compiled in, you can use `has('osxdarwin')` which returns 1 if the feature is compiled in; 0 otherwise. For backward compatibility, you can still use `macunix` instead of `osxdarwin`. Notable use cases where `--disable-darwin` is turned out to be useful are: - When you want to use \|x11-selection\| instead of the system clipboard. - When you want to use \|x11-clientserver\|. Since both have to make use of X11 inter-client communication for them to work properly, and since the communication mechanism can come into conflict with the system clipboard, the darwin feature should be disabled to prevent Vim from hanging at runtime. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	6.7 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Terminal support \|qnx-terminal\| 4. Photon GUI \|photon-gui\| 5. Photon fonts \|photon-fonts\| 6. Bugs & things To Do ============================================================================== 1. General qnx-general Vim on QNX behaves much like other unix versions. \|os_unix.txt\| 2. Compiling Vim qnx-compiling Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. If you want to compile for X11, pass the --with-x option to configure. Otherwise, running ./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=photon, will compile vim with the Photon gui support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other features you can enable/disable. 3. Terminal support qnx-terminal Vim has support for the mouse and clipboard in a pterm, if those options are compiled in, which they are normally. The options that affect mouse support are \|'mouse'\| and \|'ttymouse'\|. When using the mouse, only simple left and right mouse clicking/dragging is supported. If you hold down shift, ctrl, or alt while using the mouse, pterm will handle the mouse itself. It will make a selection, separate from what vim's doing. When the mouse is in use, you can press Alt-RightMouse to open the pterm menu. To turn the mouse off in vim, set the mouse option to nothing, set mouse= 4. Photon GUI photon-gui To start the gui for vim, you need to run either gvim or vim -g, otherwise the terminal version will run. For more info - \|gui-x11-start\| Supported features: :browse command \|:browse\| :confirm command \|:confirm\| Cursor blinking \|'guicursor'\| Menus, popup menus and menu priorities \|:menu\| \|popup-menu\| \|menu-priority\| Toolbar \|gui-toolbar\| \|'toolbar'\| Font selector (:set guifont=) \|photon-fonts\| Mouse focus \|'mousefocus'\| Mouse hide \|'mousehide'\| Mouse cursor shapes \|'mouseshape'\| Clipboard \|gui-clipboard\| Unfinished features: Various international support, such as Farsi & Hebrew support, different encodings, etc. This help file Unsupported features: Find & Replace window \|:promptfind\| Tearoff menus Other things which I can't think of so I can't list them 5. Fonts photon-fonts* You set fonts in the gui with the guifont option > :set guifont=Lucida\ Terminal < The font must be a monospace font, and any spaces in the font name must be escaped with a '\'. The default font used is PC Terminal, size 8. Using '' as the font name will open a standard Photon font selector where you can select a font. Following the name, you can include optional settings to control the size and style of the font, each setting separated by a ':'. Not all fonts support the various styles. The options are, s{size} Set the size of the font to {size} b Bold style a Use antialiasing i Italic style Examples: Set the font to monospace size 10 with antialiasing > :set guifont=monospace:s10:a < Set the font to Courier size 12, with bold and italics > :set guifont=Courier:s12:b:i < Select a font with the requester > :set guifont= < 6. Bugs & things To Do Known problems: - Vim hangs sometimes when running an external program. Workaround: put this line in your \|vimrc\| file: > set noguipty Bugs: - Still a slight problem with menu highlighting. - When using phditto/phinows/etc., if you are using a font that doesn't support the bold attribute, when vim attempts to draw bold text it will be all messed up. - The cursor can sometimes be hard to see. - A number of minor problems that can fixed. :) Todo: - Improve multi-language support. - Options for setting the fonts used in the menu and toolbar. - Find & Replace dialog. - The clientserver features. - Maybe tearoff menus. - Replace usage of fork() with spawn() when launching external programs. vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	3.98 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

📄 os_unix.txt os_unix.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2005 Mar 29 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar unix Unix This file contains the particularities for the Unix version of Vim. For compiling Vim on Unix see "INSTALL" and "Makefile" in the src directory. The default help file name is "/usr/local/lib/vim/help.txt" The files "$HOME/.vimrc" and "$HOME/.exrc" are used instead of "s:.vimrc" and "s:.exrc". Additionally "/usr/local/etc/vimrc" is used first. If "/usr/local/share" exists it is used instead of "/usr/local/lib". Temporary files (for filtering) are put in "/tmp". If you want to place them somewhere else, set the environment variable $TMPDIR to the directory you prefer. With wildcard expansion you can use '~' (home directory) and '$' (environment variable). fork spoon For executing external commands fork()/exec() is used when possible, otherwise system() is used, which is a bit slower. The output of ":version" includes \|+fork\| when fork()/exec() is used, \|+system()\| when system() is used. This can be changed at compile time. (For forking of the GUI version see \|gui-fork\|.) Because terminal updating under Unix is often slow (e.g. serial line terminal, shell window in suntools), the 'showcmd' and 'ruler' options are off by default. If you have a fast terminal, try setting them on. You might also want to set 'ttyfast'. When using Vim in an xterm the mouse clicks can be used by Vim by setting 'mouse' to "a". If there is access to an X-server gui style copy/paste will be used and visual feedback will be provided while dragging with the mouse. If you then still want the xterm copy/paste with the mouse, press the shift key when using the mouse. See \|mouse-using\|. Visual feedback while dragging can also be achieved via the 'ttymouse' option if your xterm is new enough. terminal-colors To use colors in Vim you can use the following example (if your terminal supports colors, but "T_Co" is empty or zero): > :set t_me=^[[0;1;36m " normal mode (undoes t_mr and t_md) :set t_mr=^[[0;1;33;44m " reverse (invert) mode :set t_md=^[[1;33;41m " bold mode :set t_se=^[[1;36;40m " standout end :set t_so=^[[1;32;45m " standout mode :set t_ue=^[[0;1;36m " underline end :set t_us=^[[1;32m " underline mode start [the ^[ is an <Esc>, type CTRL-V <Esc> to enter it] For real color terminals the ":highlight" command can be used. The file "tools/vim132" is a shell script that can be used to put Vim in 132 column mode on a vt100 and lookalikes. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	2.54 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 os_vms.txt os_vms.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Jan 04 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL VMS vms This file contains the particularities for the VMS version of Vim. You can reach this information file by typing :help VMS in Vim command prompt. 1. Getting started \|vms-started\| 2. Download files \|vms-download\| 3. Compiling \|vms-compiling\| 4. Problems \|vms-problems\| 5. Deploy \|vms-deploy\| 6. Practical usage \|vms-usage\| 7. GUI mode questions \|vms-gui\| 8. Useful notes \|vms-notes\| 9. VMS related changes \|vms-changes\| 10. Authors \|vms-authors\| ============================================================================== 1. Getting started vms-started Vim (Vi IMproved) is a Vi-compatible text editor that runs on nearly every operating system known to humanity. Now use Vim on OpenVMS too, in character or X/Motif environment. It is fully featured and absolutely compatible with Vim on other operating systems. ============================================================================== 2. Download files vms-download You can download the Vim source code by ftp from the official Vim site: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/ Or use one of the mirrors: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS You can download precompiled executables from: http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ ftp://ftp.polarhome.com/pub/vim/ To use the precompiled binary version, you need one of these archives: vim-XX-exe-ia64-gui.zip IA64 GUI/Motif executables vim-XX-exe-ia64-gtk.zip IA64 GUI/GTK executables vim-XX-exe-ia64-term.zip IA64 console executables vim-XX-exe-axp-gui.zip Alpha GUI/Motif executables vim-XX-exe-axp-gtk.zip Alpha GUI/GTK executables vim-XX-exe-axp-term.zip Alpha console executables vim-XX-exe-vax-gui.zip VAX GUI executables vim-XX-exe-vax-term.zip VAX console executables and of course (optional) vim-XX-runtime.zip runtime files The binary archives contain: vim.exe, ctags.exe, xxd.exe files. For GTK executables you will need GTKLIB that is available for Alpha and IA64 platform. ============================================================================== 3. Compiling vms-compiling See the file [.SRC]INSTALLVMS.TXT. ============================================================================== 4. Problems vms-problems The code has been tested under Open VMS 6.2 - 8.2 on Alpha, VAX and IA64 platforms with the DEC C compiler. It should work without major problems. If your system does not have some include libraries you can tune up in OS_VMS_CONF.H file. If you decided to build Vim with +perl, +python, etc. options, first you need to download OpenVMS distributions of Perl and Python. Build and deploy the libraries and change adequate lines in MAKE_VMS.MMS file. There should not be a problem from Vim side. Also GTK, XPM library paths should be configured in MAKE_VMS.MMS Note: Under VAX it should work with the DEC C compiler without problems. The VAX C compiler is not fully ANSI C compatible in pre-processor directives semantics, therefore you have to use a converter program that will do the lion part of the job. For detailed instructions read file INSTALLvms.txt MMS_VIM.EXE is built together with VIM.EXE, but for XXD.EXE you should change to a subdirectory and build it separately. CTAGS is not part of the Vim source distribution anymore, however the OpenVMS specific source might contain CTAGS source files as described above. You can find more information about CTAGS on VMS at http://www.polarhome.com/ctags/ Advanced users may try some acrobatics in FEATURE.H file as well. It is possible to compile with +xfontset +xim options too, but then you have to set up GUI fonts etc. correctly. See :help xim from Vim command prompt. You may want to use GUI with GTK icons, then you have to download and install GTK for OpenVMS or at least runtime shareable images - LIBGTK from polarhome.com Post 7.2 Vim uses GTK2+ while the last GTK on OpenVMS is 1.2.10, therefore the GTK build is no longer available. For more advanced questions, please send your problem to Vim on VMS mailing list <vim-vms@polarhome.com> More about the vim-vms list can be found at: http://www.polarhome.com/mailman/listinfo/vim-vms ============================================================================== 5. Deploy vms-deploy Vim uses a special directory structure to hold the document and runtime files: vim (or wherever) \|- tmp \|- vim57 \|----- doc \|----- syntax \|- vim62 \|----- doc \|----- syntax \|- vim64 \|----- doc \|----- syntax vimrc (system rc files) gvimrc Use: > define/nolog VIM device:[path.vim] define/nolog VIMRUNTIME device:[path.vim.vim60] define/nolog TMP device:[path.tmp] To get vim.exe to find its document, filetype, and syntax files, and to specify a directory where temporary files will be located. Copy the "runtime" subdirectory of the Vim distribution to vimruntime. Logicals $VIMRUNTIME and $TMP are optional. If $VIMRUNTIME is not set, Vim will guess and try to set up automatically. Read more about it at :help runtime If $TMP is not set, you will not be able to use some functions as CTAGS, XXD, printing etc. that use temporary directory for normal operation. The $TMP directory should be readable and writable by the user(s). The easiest way to set up $TMP is to define a logical: > define/nolog TMP SYS$SCRATCH or as: > define/nolog TMP SYS$LOGIN ============================================================================== 6. Practical usage vms-usage Usually, you want to run just one version of Vim on your system, therefore it is enough to dedicate one directory for Vim. Copy the whole Vim runtime directory structure to the deployment position. Add the following lines to your LOGIN.COM (in SYS$LOGIN directory). Set up the logical $VIM as: > $ define VIM device:<path> Set up some symbols: > $ ! vi starts Vim in chr. mode. $ vim :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE $ !gvi starts Vim in GUI mode. $ gvim :== spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g Please, check the notes for customization and configuration of symbols. You may want to create .vimrc and .gvimrc files in your home directory (SYS$LOGIN) to overwrite default settings. The easiest way is just rename example files. You may leave the menu file (MENU.VIM) and files vimrc and gvimrc in the original $VIM directory. It will be the default setup for all users, and for users it is enough to just have their own additions or resetting in their home directory in files .vimrc and .gvimrc. It should work without problems. Note: Remember, system rc files (default for all users) don't have a leading ".". So, system rc files are: > $VIM:vimrc $VIM:gvimrc $VIM:menu.vim and user customized rc files are: > sys$login:.vimrc sys$login:.gvimrc You can check that everything is at the right place with the :version command. Example LOGIN.COM: > $ define/nolog VIM DKA0:[UTIL.VIM81] $ vim :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE $ gvim:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 $ set disp/create/node=192.168.10.202/trans=tcpip Note: This set-up should be enough, if you are working on a standalone server or clustered environment, but if you want to use Vim as an internode editor in DECNET environment, it will satisfy as well. You just have to define the "whole" path: > $ define VIM "<server_name>[""user password""]::device:<path>" $ vim :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE" For example: > $ define VIM "PLUTO::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" $ define VIM "PLUTO""ZAY mypass""::RF10:[UTIL.VIM]" ! if passwd required You can also use the $VIMRUNTIME logical to point to the proper version of Vim if you have installed more versions at the same time. If $VIMRUNTIME is not defined Vim will borrow its value from the $VIM logical. You can find more information about the $VIMRUNTIME logical by typing :help runtime as a Vim command. System administrators might want to set up a system wide Vim installation, then add to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGICALS.COM > $ define/nolog/sys VIM device:<path> $ define/nolog/sys TMP SYS$SCRATCH And to the SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGIN.COM > $ vim :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE $ gvim:== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 It will set up a normal Vim work environment for every user on the system. IMPORTANT: Vim on OpenVMS (and on other case insensitive system) command line parameters are assumed to be lowercase. In order to indicate that a command line parameter is uppercase "/" sign must be used. Examples: > vim -R filename ! means: -r List swap files and exit vim -/r filename ! means: -R Readonly mode (like "view") vim -u <vimrc> ! means: -u Use <vimrc> instead of any .vimrc vim -/u <gvimrc> ! means: -U Use <gvimrc> instead of any .gvimrc ============================================================================== 7. GUI mode questions vms-gui* OpenVMS is a real mainframe OS, therefore even if it has a GUI console, most of the users do not use a native X/Window environment during normal operation. It is not possible to start Vim in GUI mode "just like that". But anyhow it is not too complicated either. First of all: you will need an executable that is built with the GUI enabled. Second: you need to have installed DECW/Motif on your VMS server, otherwise you will get errors that some shareable libraries are missing. Third: If you choose to run Vim with extra features such as GUI/GTK then you need a GTK installation too or at least a GTK runtime environment (LIBGTK can be downloaded from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/). 1) If you are working on the VMS X/Motif console: Start Vim with the command: > $ mc device:<path>VIM.EXE -g < or type :gui as a command to the Vim command prompt. For more info :help gui 2) If you are working on some other X/Window environment like Unix or a remote X VMS console. Set up display to your host with: > $ set disp/create/node=<your IP address>/trans=<transport-name> < and start Vim as in point 1. You can find more help in VMS documentation or type: help set disp in VMS prompt. Examples: > $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159 ! default trans is DECnet $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=tcpip ! TCP/IP network $ set disp/create/node=192.168.5.159/trans=local ! display on the same node Note: you should define just one of these. For more information type $help set disp in VMS prompt. 3) Another elegant solution is XDM if you have installed on OpenVMS box. It is possible to work from XDM client as from GUI console. 4) If you are working on MS-Windows or some other non X/Window environment you need to set up one X server and run Vim as in point 2. For MS-Windows there are available free X servers as MIX, Omni X etc., as well as excellent commercial products as eXcursion or ReflectionX with built-in DEC support. Please note, that executables without GUI are slightly faster during startup than with enabled GUI in character mode. Therefore, if you do not use GUI features, it is worth to choose non GUI executables. ============================================================================== 8.

(Bruce Hunsaker <BNHunsaker@chq.byu.edu> Vim 5.3) 8.2 Filters Vim supports filters, i.e., if you have a sort program that can handle input/output redirection like Unix (<infile >outfile), you could use > :map \s 0!'aqsort<CR> (Charles E. Campbell, Jr. <cec@gryphon.gsfc.nasa.gov> Vim 5.4) 8.3 VMS file version numbers Vim is saving files into a new file with the next higher file version number, try these settings. > :set nobackup " does not create ._ backup files :set nowritebackup " does not have any purpose on VMS. It's the " default. Recovery is working perfectly as well from the default swap file. Read more with :help swapfile (Claude Marinier <ClaudeMarinier@xwavesolutions.com> Vim 5.5, Zoltan Arpadffy Vim 5.6) 8.4 Directory conversion Vim will internally convert any unix-style paths and even mixed unix/VMS paths into VMS style paths. Some typical conversions resemble: /abc/def/ghi -> abc:[def]ghi. /abc/def/ghi.j -> abc:[def]ghi.j /abc/def/ghi.j;2 -> abc:[def]ghi.j;2 /abc/def/ghi/jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. abc:[def.ghi]jkl/mno -> abc:[def.ghi.jkl]mno. ./ -> current directory ../ -> relative parent directory [.def.ghi] -> relative child directory ./def/ghi -> relative child directory Note: You may use <,> brackets as well (device:<path>file.ext;version) as rf10:<user.zay.work>test.c;1 (David Elins <delins@foliage.com>, Jerome Lauret <JLAURET@mail.chem.sunysb.edu> Vim 5.6) 8.5 Remote host invocation It is possible to use Vim as an internode editor. 1. Edit some file from remote node: > vi "<server>""username passwd""::<device>:<path><filename>;<version>" Example: > vi "pluto""zay passwd""::RF10:<USER.ZAY.WORK>TEST.C;1" Note: syntax is very important, otherwise VMS will recognize more parameters instead of one (resulting with: file not found) 2. Set up Vim as your internode editor. If Vim is not installed on your host, just set up your IP address, the full Vim path including the server name and run the command procedure below: > $ if (p1 .eqs. "") .OR. (p2 .eqs. "") then goto usage $ set disp/create/node=<your_IP_here>/trans=tcpip $ define "VIM "<vim_server>""''p1' ''p2'""::<device>:<vim_path>" $ vim :== "mcr VIM:VIM.EXE" $ gvim :== "spawn/nowait mcr VIM:VIM.EXE -g" $ goto end $ usage: $ write sys$output " Please enter username and password as a parameter." $ write sys$output " Example: @SETVIM.COM username passwd" $ end: Note: Never use it in a clustered environment (you do not need it), loading could be very-very slow, but even faster than a local Emacs. :-) (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6) 8.6 Terminal problems If your terminal name is not known to Vim and it is trying to find the default one you will get the following message during start-up: --- Terminal entry not found in termcap 'unknown-terminal' not known. Available built-in terminals are: builtin_gui builtin_riscos builtin_amiga builtin_ansi builtin_vt320 builtin_vt52 builtin_pcansi builtin_win32 builtin_xterm builtin_iris-ansi builtin_debug builtin_dumb defaulting to 'vt320' --- The solution is to define the default terminal name: > $ ! unknown terminal name. Let us use vt320 or ansi instead. $ ! Note: it's case sensitive $ define term "vt320" Terminals from VT100 to VT320 (as V300, VT220, VT200) do not need any extra keyboard mappings. They should work perfectly as they are, including arrows, Ins, Del buttons etc., except Backspace in GUI mode. To solve it, add to .gvimrc: > inoremap <Del> <BS> Vim will also recognize that they are fast terminals. If you have some annoying line jumping on the screen between windows add to your .vimrc file: > set ttyfast " set fast terminal Note: if you're using Vim on remote host or through a very slow connection, it's recommended to avoid the fast terminal option with: > set nottyfast " set terminal to slow mode (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6) 8.7 Hex-editing and other external tools A very important difference between OpenVMS and other systems is that VMS uses special commands to execute executables: > RUN <path>filename MCR <path>filename <parameters> OpenVMS users always have to be aware that the Vim command :! "just" drop them to DCL prompt. This feature is possible to use without any problem with all DCL commands, but if we want to execute some programs such as XXD, CTAGS, JTAGS, etc. we're running into trouble if we follow the Vim documentation (see: help xxd). Solution: Execute with the MC command and add the full path to the executable. Example: Instead of :%!xxd command use: > :%!mc vim:xxd ... or in general: > :!mc <path>filename <parameters> Note: You can use XXD and CTAGS from GUI menu. To customize ctags it is possible to define the logical $CTAGS with standard parameters as: > define/nolog CTAGS "--totals -o sys$login:tags" For additional information, please read :help tagsearch and CTAGS documentation at http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ctags.html. (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 5.6-70) 8.8 Sourcing vimrc and gvimrc If you want to use your .vimrc and .gvimrc from other platforms (e.g. Windows) you can get in trouble if you ftp that file(s): VMS has different end-of-line indication. The symptom is that Vim is not sourcing your .vimrc/.gvimrc, even if you say: > :so sys$login:.vimrc One trick is to compress (e.g. zip) the files on the other platform and uncompress it on VMS; if you have the same symptom, try to create the files with copy-paste (for this you need both op. systems reachable from one machine, e.g. an Xterm on Windows or telnet to Windows from VMS). (Sandor Kopanyi, <sandor.kopanyi@mailbox.hu> Vim 6.0a) 8.9 Printing from Vim To be able to print from Vim (running in GUI mode) under VMS you have to set up $TMP logical which should point to some temporary directory and logical SYS$PRINT to your default print queue. Example: > $define SYS$PRINT HP5ANSI You can print out the whole buffer or just the marked area. More info under :help hardcopy (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 6.0c) 8.10 Setting up the symbols When I use gvim this way and press CTRL-Y in the parent terminal, gvim exits. I now use a different symbol that seems to work OK and fixes the problem. I suggest this instead: > $ GVIM:==SPAWN/NOWAIT/INPUT=NLA0: MCR VIM:VIM.EXE -G -GEOMETRY 80X40 The /INPUT=NLA0: separates the standard input of the gvim process from the parent terminal, to block signals from the parent window. Without the -GEOMETRY, the gvim window size will be minimal and the menu will be confused after a window-resize. (Carlo Mekenkamp, Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.0ac) 8.11 diff and other GNU programs From 6.0 diff functionality has been implemented, but OpenVMS does not use GNU/Unix like diff therefore built in diff does not work. There is a simple solution to solve this anomaly. Install a Unix like diff and Vim will work perfectly in diff mode too. You just have to redefine your diff program as: > define /nolog diff <GNU_PATH>diff.exe Another, more sophisticated solution is described below (8.12 diff-mode) There are other programs such as patch, make etc that may cause the same problems. At www.polarhome.com is possible to download an GNU package for Alpha and VAX boxes that is meant to solve GNU problems on OpenVMS. (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 6.1) 8.12 diff-mode Vim 6.0 and higher supports Vim diff-mode (See \|new-diff-mode\|, \|diff-mode\| and \|08.7\|). This uses the external program 'diff' and expects a Unix-like output format from diff. The standard VMS diff has a different output format. To use Vim on VMS in diff-mode, you need to: 1 Install a Unix-like diff program, e.g. GNU diff 2 Tell Vim to use the Unix-like diff for diff-mode. You can download GNU diff from the VIM-VMS website, it is one of the GNU tools in http://www.polarhome.com/vim/files/gnu_tools.zip. I suggest to unpack it in a separate directory "GNU" and create a logical GNU: that points to that directory, e.g: > DEFINE GNU <DISK>:[<DIRECTORY>.BIN.GNU] You may also want to define a symbol GDIFF, to use the GNU diff from the DCL prompt: > GDIFF :== $GNU:DIFF.EXE Now you need to tell Vim to use the new diff program. Take the example settings from \|diff-diffexpr\| and change the call to the external diff program to the new diff on VMS. Add this to your .vimrc file: > " Set up vimdiff options if v:version >= 600 " Use GNU diff on VMS set diffexpr=MyDiff() function MyDiff() let opt = "" if &diffopt =~ "icase" let opt = opt . "-i " endif if &diffopt =~ "iwhite" let opt = opt . "-b " endif silent execute "!mc GNU:diff.exe -a " . opt . v:fname_in . " " . v:fname_new . \ " > " . v:fname_out endfunction endif You can now use Vim in diff-mode, e.g. to compare two files in read-only mode: > $ VIM -D/R <FILE1> <FILE2> You can also define new symbols for vimdiff, e.g.: > $ VIMDIFF :== 'VIM' -D/R $ GVIMDIFF :== 'GVIM' -D/R You can now compare files in 4 ways: > 1. VMS diff: $ DIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> 2. GNU diff: $ GDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> 3. VIM diff: $ VIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> 4. GVIM diff: $ GVIMDIFF <FILE1> <FILE2> (Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.1) 8.13 Allow '$' in C keywords DEC C uses many identifiers with '$' in them. This is not allowed in ANSI C, and Vim recognises the '$' as the end of the identifier. You can change this with the 'iskeyword' option. Add this command to your .vimrc file: > autocmd FileType c,cpp,cs set iskeyword+=$ You can also create the file(s) $VIM/FTPLUGIN/C.VIM (and/or CPP.VIM and CS.VIM) and add this command: > set iskeyword+=$ Now word-based commands, e.g. the ''-search-command and the CTRL-] tag-lookup, work on the whole identifier. (Ctags on VMS also supports '$' in C keywords since ctags version 5.1.) (Coen Engelbarts, Vim 6.1) 8.14 VIMTUTOR for beginners The VIMTUTOR.COM DCL script can help Vim beginners to learn/make their first steps with Vim on OpenVMS. Depending of binary distribution you may start it with: > @vim:vimtutor (Thomas.R.Wyant III, Vim 6.1) 8.16 Slow start in console mode issue As GUI/GTK Vim works equally well in console mode, many administrators deploy those executables system wide. Unfortunately, on a remote slow connections GUI/GTK executables behave rather slow when user wants to run Vim just in the console mode - because of X environment detection timeout. Luckily, there is a simple solution for that. Administrators need to deploy both GUI/GTK build and just console build executables, like below: > \|- vim73 \|----- doc \|----- syntax vimrc (system rc files) gvimrc gvim.exe (the renamed GUI or GTK built vim.exe) vim.exe (the console only executable) Define system symbols like below in for ex in LOGIN.COM or SYLOGIN.COM: > $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VIM73] ! where you VIM directory is $ vim :== mcr VIM:VIM.EXE $ gvim :== mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE $ ! or you can try to spawn with $ gvim :== spawn/nowait/input=NLA0 mcr VIM:GVIM.EXE -g -GEOMETRY 80x40 Like this, users that do not have X environment and want to use Vim just in console mode can avoid performance problems. (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 7.2) 8.15 Common VIM directory - different architectures In a cluster that contains nodes with different architectures like below: $show cluster View of Cluster from system ID 11655 node: TOR 18-AUG-2008 11:58:31 +---------------------------------+ \| SYSTEMS \| MEMBERS \| +-----------------------+---------\| \| NODE \| SOFTWARE \| STATUS \| +--------+--------------+---------\| \| TOR \| VMS V7.3-2 \| MEMBER \| \| TITAN2 \| VMS V8.3 \| MEMBER \| \| ODIN \| VMS V7.3-2 \| MEMBER \| +---------------------------------+ It is convenient to have a common VIM directory but execute different executables. There are several solutions for this problem: Solution 1. All executables in the same directory with different names This is easily done with the following script that can be added to the login.com or sylogin.com: > $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "VAX" $ then $ say "VAX platform" $ vim:== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_VAX $ endif $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "ALPH" $ then $ say "ALPHA platform" $ vim :== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_AXP $ endif $ if f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME") .eqs. "IA64" $ then $ say "IA64 platform" $ vim :== mcr vim:VIM.EXE_IA64 $ endif Solution 2. Different directories: > $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "VAX" $ then $ say "VAX platform" $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.VAX_EXE] ! VAX executables $ endif $ if f$getsyi("NODE_HWTYPE") .eqs. "ALPH" $ then $ say "ALPHA platform" $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.AXP_EXE] ! AXP executables $ endif $ if f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME") .eqs. "IA64" $ then $ say "IA64 platform" $ define/nolog VIM RF10:[UTIL.IA64_EXE] ! IA64 executables $ endif $! VIMRUNTIME must be defined in order to find runtime files $ define/nolog VIMRUNTIME RF10:[UTIL.VIM73] A good example for this approach is the [GNU]gnu_tools.com script from GNU_TOOLS.ZIP package downloadable from http://www.polarhome.com/vim/ (Zoltan Arpadffy, Vim 7.2) ============================================================================== 9.

Reilly <george@reilly.org>. The original Windows NT port was done by Roger Knobbe <RogerK@wonderware.com>. The GUI version was made by George V. Reilly and Robert Webb. For compiling see "src/INSTALLpc.txt". win32-compiling ============================================================================== 1. Known problems win32-problems When doing file name completion, Vim also finds matches for the short file name. But Vim will still find and use the corresponding long file name. For example, if you have the long file name "this_is_a_test" with the short file name "this_i~1", the command ":e 1" will start editing "this_is_a_test". ============================================================================== 2. Startup win32-startup* Current directory win32-curdir If Vim is started with a single file name argument, and it has a full path (starts with "x:\"), Vim assumes it was started from the file explorer and will set the current directory to where that file is. To avoid this when typing a command to start Vim, use a forward slash instead of a backslash. Example: > vim c:\text\files\foo.txt Will change to the "C:\text\files" directory. > vim c:/text\files\foo.txt Will use the current directory. Term option win32-term The only kind of terminal type that the Win32 version of Vim understands is "win32", which is built-in. If you set 'term' to anything else, you will probably get very strange behavior from Vim. Therefore Vim does not obtain the default value of 'term' from the environment variable "TERM". $PATH win32-PATH The directory of the Vim executable is appended to $PATH. This is mostly to make "!xxd" work, as it is in the Tools menu. And it also means that when executable() returns 1 the executable can actually be executed. Command line arguments win32-cmdargs Analysis of a command line into parameters is not standardised in MS Windows. Vim and gvim used to use different logic to parse it (before 7.4.432), and the logic was also depended on what it was compiled with. Now Vim and gvim both use the CommandLineToArgvW() Win32 API, so they behave in the same way. The basic rules are: win32-backslashes a) A parameter is a sequence of graphic characters. b) Parameters are separated by white space. c) A parameter can be enclosed in double quotes to include white space. d) A sequence of zero or more backslashes (\) and a double quote (") is special. The effective number of backslashes is halved, rounded down. An even number of backslashes reverses the acceptability of spaces and tabs, an odd number of backslashes produces a literal double quote. So: " is a special double quote \" is a literal double quote \\" is a literal backslash and a special double quote \\\" is a literal backslash and a literal double quote \\\\" is 2 literal backslashes and a special double quote \\\\\" is 2 literal backslashes and a literal double quote etc. Example: > vim "C:\My Music\freude" +"set ignorecase" +/"\"foo\\" +\"bar\\\" opens "C:\My Music\freude" and executes the line mode commands: > set ignorecase; /"foo\ and /bar\" These rules are also described in the reference of the CommandLineToArgvW API: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb776391.aspx win32-quotes There are additional rules for quotes (which are not well documented). As described above, quotes inside a file name (or any other command line argument) can be escaped with a backslash. E.g. > vim -c "echo 'foo\"bar'" Alternatively use three quotes to get one: > vim -c "echo 'foo"""bar'" The quotation rules are: 1. A `"` starts quotation. 2. Another `"` or `""` ends quotation. If the quotation ends with `""`, a `"` is produced at the end of the quoted string. Examples, with [] around an argument: "foo" -> [foo] "foo"" -> [foo"] "foo"bar -> [foobar] "foo" bar -> [foo], [bar] "foo""bar -> [foo"bar] "foo"" bar -> [foo"], [bar] "foo"""bar" -> [foo"bar] ============================================================================== 3. Restore screen contents win32-restore When 'restorescreen' is set (which is the default), Vim will restore the original contents of the console when exiting or when executing external commands. If you don't want this, use ":set nors". \|'restorescreen'\| ============================================================================== 4. Using the mouse win32-mouse The Win32 version of Vim supports using the mouse. If you have a two-button mouse, the middle button can be emulated by pressing both left and right buttons simultaneously - but note that in the Win32 GUI, if you have the right mouse button pop-up menu enabled (see 'mouse'), you should err on the side of pressing the left button first. \|mouse-using\| When the mouse doesn't work, try disabling the "Quick Edit Mode" feature of the console. ============================================================================== 5. Running under Windows 95 win32-win95 windows95 windows98 windowsme Windows 95/98/ME support was removed in patch 8.0.0029 If you want to use it you will need to get a version older than that. ============================================================================== 6. Running under Windows 3.1 win32-win3.1 win32s windows-3.1 gui-w32s win16 There was a special version of gvim that runs under Windows 3.1 and 3.11. Support was removed in patch 7.4.1364. ============================================================================== 7. Win32 mini FAQ win32-faq Q. How do I change the font? A. In the GUI version, you can use the 'guifont' option. Example: > :set guifont=Lucida_Console:h15:cDEFAULT < In the console version, you need to set the font of the console itself. You cannot do this from within Vim. Q. How do I type dead keys on Windows NT? A. Dead keys work on NT 3.51. Just type them as you would in any other application. On NT 4.0, you need to make sure that the default locale (set in the Keyboard part of the Control Panel) is the same as the currently active locale. Otherwise the NT code will get confused and crash! This is a NT 4.0 problem, not really a Vim problem. Q. I'm using Vim to edit a symbolically linked file on a Unix NFS file server. When I write the file, Vim does not "write through" the symlink. Instead, it deletes the symbolic link and creates a new file in its place. Why? A. On Unix, Vim is prepared for links (symbolic or hard). A backup copy of the original file is made and then the original file is overwritten. This assures that all properties of the file remain the same. On non-Unix systems, the original file is renamed and a new file is written. Only the protection bits are set like the original file. However, this doesn't work properly when working on an NFS-mounted file system where links and other things exist. The only way to fix this in the current version is not making a backup file, by ":set nobackup nowritebackup" \|'writebackup'\| Q. I'm using Vim to edit a file on a Unix file server through Samba. When I write the file, the owner of the file is changed. Why? A. When writing a file Vim renames the original file, this is a backup (in case writing the file fails halfway). Then the file is written as a new file. Samba then gives it the default owner for the file system, which may differ from the original owner. To avoid this set the 'backupcopy' option to "yes". Vim will then make a copy of the file for the backup, and overwrite the original file. The owner isn't changed then. Q. How do I get to see the output of ":make" while it's running? A. Basically what you need is to put a tee program that will copy its input (the output from make) to both stdout and to the errorfile. You can find a copy of tee (and a number of other GNU tools) at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net or http://unxutils.sourceforge.net Alternatively, try the more recent Cygnus version of the GNU tools at http://www.cygwin.com Other Unix-style tools for Win32 are listed at http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Unix/Win32/ When you do get a copy of tee, you'll need to add > :set shellpipe=\\|\ tee < to your _vimrc. Q. I'm storing files on a remote machine that works with VisionFS, and files disappear! A. VisionFS can't handle certain dot (.) three letter extension file names. SCO declares this behavior required for backwards compatibility with 16bit DOS/Windows environments. The two commands below demonstrate the behavior: > echo Hello > file.bat~ dir > file.bat < The result is that the "dir" command updates the "file.bat~" file, instead of creating a new "file.bat" file. This same behavior is exhibited in Vim when editing an existing file named "foo.bat" because the default behavior of Vim is to create a temporary file with a '~' character appended to the name. When the file is written, it winds up being deleted. Solution: Add this command to your _vimrc file: > :set backupext=.temporary Q. How do I change the blink rate of the cursor? A. You can't! This is a limitation of the NT console. NT 5.0 is reported to be able to set the blink rate for all console windows at the same time. :!start Q. How can I asynchronously run an external command or program, or open a document or URL with its default program? A. When using :! to run an external command, you can run it with "start". For example, to run notepad: > :!start notepad < To open "image.jpg" with the default image viewer: > :!start image.jpg < To open the folder of the current file in Windows Explorer: > :!start %:h < To open the Vim home page with the default browser: > :!start http://www.vim.org/ < Using "start" stops Vim switching to another screen, opening a new console, or waiting for the program to complete; it indicates that you are running a program that does not affect the files you are editing. Programs begun with :!start do not get passed Vim's open file handles, which means they do not have to be closed before Vim. To avoid this special treatment, use ":! start". There are two optional arguments (see the next Q): /min the window will be minimized /b no console window will be opened You can use only one of these flags at a time. A second one will be treated as the start of the command. Q. How do I avoid getting a window for programs that I run asynchronously? A. You have two possible solutions depending on what you want: 1) You may use the /min flag in order to run program in a minimized state with no other changes. It will work equally for console and GUI applications. 2) You can use the /b flag to run console applications without creating a console window for them (GUI applications are not affected). But you should use this flag only if the application you run doesn't require any input. Otherwise it will get an EOF error because its input stream (stdin) would be redirected to \\.\NUL (stdout and stderr too). Example for a console application, run Exuberant ctags: > :!start /min ctags -R . < When it has finished you should see file named "tags" in your current directory. You should notice the window title blinking on your taskbar. This is more noticeable for commands that take longer. Now delete the "tags" file and run this command: > :!start /b ctags -R . < You should have the same "tags" file, but this time there will be no blinking on the taskbar. Example for a GUI application: > :!start /min notepad :!start /b notepad < The first command runs notepad minimized and the second one runs it normally. windows-icon Q. I don't like the Vim icon, can I change it? A. Yes, place your favorite icon in bitmaps/vim.ico in a directory of 'runtimepath'. For example ~/vimfiles/bitmaps/vim.ico. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	13.04 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 pattern.txt pattern.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Feb 16 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Patterns and search commands pattern-searches The very basics can be found in section \|03.9\| of the user manual.

Highlighting matches \|match-highlight\| ============================================================================== 1. Search commands search-commands / /{pattern}[/]<CR> Search forward for the [count]'th occurrence of {pattern} \|exclusive\|. /{pattern}/{offset}<CR> Search forward for the [count]'th occurrence of {pattern} and go \|{offset}\| lines up or down. \|linewise\|. /<CR> /<CR> Search forward for the [count]'th occurrence of the latest used pattern \|last-pattern\| with latest used \|{offset}\|. //{offset}<CR> Search forward for the [count]'th occurrence of the latest used pattern \|last-pattern\| with new \|{offset}\|. If {offset} is empty no offset is used. ? ?{pattern}[?]<CR> Search backward for the [count]'th previous occurrence of {pattern} \|exclusive\|. ?{pattern}?{offset}<CR> Search backward for the [count]'th previous occurrence of {pattern} and go \|{offset}\| lines up or down \|linewise\|. ?<CR> ?<CR> Search backward for the [count]'th occurrence of the latest used pattern \|last-pattern\| with latest used \|{offset}\|. ??{offset}<CR> Search backward for the [count]'th occurrence of the latest used pattern \|last-pattern\| with new \|{offset}\|. If {offset} is empty no offset is used. n n Repeat the latest "/" or "?" [count] times. If the cursor doesn't move the search is repeated with count + 1. \|last-pattern\| N N Repeat the latest "/" or "?" [count] times in opposite direction. \|last-pattern\| star E348 E349 * Search forward for the [count]'th occurrence of the word nearest to the cursor. The word used for the search is the first of: 1. the keyword under the cursor \|'iskeyword'\| 2. the first keyword after the cursor, in the current line 3. the non-blank word under the cursor 4. the first non-blank word after the cursor, in the current line Only whole keywords are searched for, like with the command "/\<keyword\>". \|exclusive\| 'ignorecase' is used, 'smartcase' is not. # # Same as "", but search backward. The pound sign (character 163) also works. If the "#" key works as backspace, try using "stty erase <BS>" before starting Vim (<BS> is CTRL-H or a real backspace). gstar* g* Like "", but don't put "\<" and "\>" around the word. This makes the search also find matches that are not a whole word. g#* g# Like "#", but don't put "\<" and "\>" around the word. This makes the search also find matches that are not a whole word. gd gd Goto local Declaration. When the cursor is on a local variable, this command will jump to its declaration. First Vim searches for the start of the current function, just like "[[". If it is not found the search stops in line 1. If it is found, Vim goes back until a blank line is found. From this position Vim searches for the keyword under the cursor, like with "", but lines that look like a comment are ignored (see 'comments' option). Note that this is not guaranteed to work, Vim does not really check the syntax, it only searches for a match with the keyword. If included files also need to be searched use the commands listed in \|include-search\|. After this command \|n\| searches forward for the next match (not backward). gD* gD Goto global Declaration. When the cursor is on a global variable that is defined in the file, this command will jump to its declaration. This works just like "gd", except that the search for the keyword always starts in line 1. 1gd 1gd Like "gd", but ignore matches inside a {} block that ends before the cursor position. 1gD 1gD Like "gD", but ignore matches inside a {} block that ends before the cursor position. CTRL-C CTRL-C Interrupt current (search) command. Use CTRL-Break on MS-Windows \|dos-CTRL-Break\|. In Normal mode, any pending command is aborted. :noh :nohlsearch :noh[lsearch] Stop the highlighting for the 'hlsearch' option. It is automatically turned back on when using a search command, or setting the 'hlsearch' option. This command doesn't work in an autocommand, because the highlighting state is saved and restored when executing autocommands \|autocmd-searchpat\|. Same thing for when invoking a user function. While typing the search pattern the current match will be shown if the 'incsearch' option is on. Remember that you still have to finish the search command with <CR> to actually position the cursor at the displayed match. Or use <Esc> to abandon the search. All matches for the last used search pattern will be highlighted if you set the 'hlsearch' option. This can be suspended with the \|:nohlsearch\| command. When 'shortmess' does not include the "S" flag, Vim will automatically show an index, on which the cursor is. This can look like this: > [1/5] Cursor is on first of 5 matches. [1/>99] Cursor is on first of more than 99 matches. [>99/>99] Cursor is after 99 match of more than 99 matches. [?/??] Unknown how many matches exists, generating the statistics was aborted because of search timeout. Note: the count does not take offset into account. When no match is found you get the error: E486 Pattern not found Note that for the \|:global\| command this behaves like a normal message, for Vi compatibility. For the \|:s\| command the "e" flag can be used to avoid the error message \|:s_flags\|. search-offset {offset} These commands search for the specified pattern. With "/" and "?" an additional offset may be given. There are two types of offsets: line offsets and character offsets. The offset gives the cursor position relative to the found match: [num] [num] lines downwards, in column 1 +[num] [num] lines downwards, in column 1 -[num] [num] lines upwards, in column 1 e[+num] [num] characters to the right of the end of the match e[-num] [num] characters to the left of the end of the match s[+num] [num] characters to the right of the start of the match s[-num] [num] characters to the left of the start of the match b[+num] [num] identical to s[+num] above (mnemonic: begin) b[-num] [num] identical to s[-num] above (mnemonic: begin) ;{pattern} perform another search, see \|//;\| If a '-' or '+' is given but [num] is omitted, a count of one will be used. When including an offset with 'e', the search becomes inclusive (the character the cursor lands on is included in operations). Examples: pattern cursor position ~ /test/+1 one line below "test", in column 1 /test/e on the last t of "test" /test/s+2 on the 's' of "test" /test/b-3 three characters before "test" If one of these commands is used after an operator, the characters between the cursor position before and after the search is affected. However, if a line offset is given, the whole lines between the two cursor positions are affected. An example of how to search for matches with a pattern and change the match with another word: > /foo<CR> find "foo" c//e<CR> change until end of match bar<Esc> type replacement //<CR> go to start of next match c//e<CR> change until end of match beep<Esc> type another replacement etc. < //; E386 A very special offset is ';' followed by another search command. For example: > /test 1/;/test /test./+1;?ing? The first one first finds the next occurrence of "test 1", and then the first occurrence of "test" after that. This is like executing two search commands after each other, except that: - It can be used as a single motion command after an operator. - The direction for a following "n" or "N" command comes from the first search command. - When an error occurs the cursor is not moved at all. last-pattern* The last used pattern and offset are remembered. They can be used to repeat the search, possibly in another direction or with another count. Note that two patterns are remembered: One for "normal" search commands and one for the substitute command ":s". Each time an empty pattern is given, the previously used pattern is used. However, if there is no previous search command, a previous substitute pattern is used, if possible. The 'magic' option sticks with the last used pattern. If you change 'magic', this will not change how the last used pattern will be interpreted. The 'ignorecase' option does not do this. When 'ignorecase' is changed, it will result in the pattern to match other text. All matches for the last used search pattern will be highlighted if you set the 'hlsearch' option. To clear the last used search pattern: > :let @/ = "" This will not set the pattern to an empty string, because that would match everywhere. The pattern is really cleared, like when starting Vim. The search usually skips matches that don't move the cursor. Whether the next match is found at the next character or after the skipped match depends on the 'c' flag in 'cpoptions'. See \|cpo-c\|. with 'c' flag: "/..." advances 1 to 3 characters without 'c' flag: "/..." advances 1 character The unpredictability with the 'c' flag is caused by starting the search in the first column, skipping matches until one is found past the cursor position. When searching backwards, searching starts at the start of the line, using the 'c' flag in 'cpoptions' as described above. Then the last match before the cursor position is used. In Vi the ":tag" command sets the last search pattern when the tag is searched for. In Vim this is not done, the previous search pattern is still remembered, unless the 't' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. The search pattern is always put in the search history. If the 'wrapscan' option is on (which is the default), searches wrap around the end of the buffer. If 'wrapscan' is not set, the backward search stops at the beginning and the forward search stops at the end of the buffer. If 'wrapscan' is set and the pattern was not found the error message "pattern not found" is given, and the cursor will not be moved. If 'wrapscan' is not set the message becomes "search hit BOTTOM without match" when searching forward, or "search hit TOP without match" when searching backward. If wrapscan is set and the search wraps around the end of the file the message "search hit TOP, continuing at BOTTOM" or "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP" is given when searching backwards or forwards respectively. This can be switched off by setting the 's' flag in the 'shortmess' option. The highlight method 'w' is used for this message (default: standout). search-range You can limit the search command "/" to a certain range of lines by including \%>l items. For example, to match the word "limit" below line 199 and above line 300: > /\%>199l\%<300llimit Also see \|/\%>l\|. Another way is to use the ":substitute" command with the 'c' flag. Example: > :.,300s/Pattern//gc This command will search from the cursor position until line 300 for "Pattern". At the match, you will be asked to type a character. Type 'q' to stop at this match, type 'n' to find the next match. The "", "#", "g" and "g#" commands look for a word near the cursor in this order, the first one that is found is used: - The keyword currently under the cursor. - The first keyword to the right of the cursor, in the same line. - The WORD currently under the cursor. - The first WORD to the right of the cursor, in the same line. The keyword may only contain letters and characters in 'iskeyword'. The WORD may contain any non-blanks (<Tab>s and/or <Space>s). Note that if you type with ten fingers, the characters are easy to remember: the "#" is under your left hand middle finger (search to the left and up) and the "" is under your right hand middle finger (search to the right and down). (this depends on your keyboard layout though). E956* In very rare cases a regular expression is used recursively. This can happen when executing a pattern takes a long time and when checking for messages on channels a callback is invoked that also uses a pattern or an autocommand is triggered. In most cases this should be fine, but if a pattern is in use when it's used again it fails. Usually this means there is something wrong with the pattern. ============================================================================== 2. The definition of a pattern search-pattern pattern [pattern] regular-expression regexp Pattern E76 E383 E476 For starters, read chapter 27 of the user manual \|usr_27.txt\|. /bar /\bar /pattern 1. A pattern is one or more branches, separated by "\\|". It matches anything that matches one of the branches. Example: "foo\\|beep" matches "foo" and matches "beep". If more than one branch matches, the first one is used. pattern ::= branch or branch \\| branch or branch \\| branch \\| branch etc. /branch /\& 2. A branch is one or more concats, separated by "\&". It matches the last concat, but only if all the preceding concats also match at the same position. Examples: "foobeep\&..." matches "foo" in "foobeep". ".Peter\&.Bob" matches in a line containing both "Peter" and "Bob" branch ::= concat or concat \& concat or concat \& concat \& concat etc. /concat 3. A concat is one or more pieces, concatenated. It matches a match for the first piece, followed by a match for the second piece, etc. Example: "f[0-9]b", first matches "f", then a digit and then "b". concat ::= piece or piece piece or piece piece piece etc. /piece 4. A piece is an atom, possibly followed by a multi, an indication of how many times the atom can be matched. Example: "a" matches any sequence of "a" characters: "", "a", "aa", etc. See \|/multi\|. piece ::= atom or atom multi /atom* 5. An atom can be one of a long list of items. Many atoms match one character in the text. It is often an ordinary character or a character class. Parentheses can be used to make a pattern into an atom. The "\z(\)" construct is only for syntax highlighting. atom ::= ordinary-atom \|/ordinary-atom\| or $ pattern $ \|/$\| or \%( pattern $ \|/\%(\| or \z( pattern \) \|/\z(\| /\%#= two-engines NFA Vim includes two regexp engines: 1. An old, backtracking engine that supports everything. 2. A new, NFA engine that works much faster on some patterns, possibly slower on some patterns. Vim will automatically select the right engine for you. However, if you run into a problem or want to specifically select one engine or the other, you can prepend one of the following to the pattern: \%#=0 Force automatic selection. Only has an effect when 'regexpengine' has been set to a non-zero value. \%#=1 Force using the old engine. \%#=2 Force using the NFA engine. You can also use the 'regexpengine' option to change the default. E864 E868 E874 E875 E876 E877 E878 If selecting the NFA engine and it runs into something that is not implemented the pattern will not match. This is only useful when debugging Vim. ============================================================================== 3. Magic /magic Some characters in the pattern, such as letters, are taken literally. They match exactly the same character in the text. When preceded with a backslash however, these characters may get a special meaning. For example, "a" matches the letter "a", while "\a" matches any alphabetic character. Other characters have a special meaning without a backslash. They need to be preceded with a backslash to match literally. For example "." matches any character while "\." matches a dot. If a character is taken literally or not depends on the 'magic' option and the items in the pattern mentioned next. The 'magic' option should always be set, but it can be switched off for Vi compatibility. We mention the effect of 'nomagic' here for completeness, but we recommend against using that. /\m /\M Use of "\m" makes the pattern after it be interpreted as if 'magic' is set, ignoring the actual value of the 'magic' option. Use of "\M" makes the pattern after it be interpreted as if 'nomagic' is used. /\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 {only Vim supports \m, \M, \v and \V} If you want to you can make a pattern immune to the 'magic' option being set or not by putting "\m" or "\M" at the start of the pattern. ============================================================================== 4.

Multi items pattern-multi-items* An atom can be followed by an indication of how many times the atom can be matched and in what way. This is called a multi. See \|/multi\| for an overview. /star /\star * (use \* when 'magic' is not set) Matches 0 or more of the preceding atom, as many as possible. Example 'nomagic' matches ~ a* a\* "", "a", "aa", "aaa", etc. .* \.\* anything, also an empty string, no end-of-line \_.* \_.\* everything up to the end of the buffer \_.END \_.\END everything up to and including the last "END" in the buffer Exception: When "" is used at the start of the pattern or just after "^" it matches the star character. Be aware that repeating "\_." can match a lot of text and take a long time. For example, "\_.END" matches all text from the current position to the last occurrence of "END" in the file. Since the "" will match as many as possible, this first skips over all lines until the end of the file and then tries matching "END", backing up one character at a time. /\+* \+ Matches 1 or more of the preceding atom, as many as possible. Example matches ~ ^.\+$ any non-empty line \s\+ white space of at least one character /\= \= Matches 0 or 1 of the preceding atom, as many as possible. Example matches ~ foo\= "fo" and "foo" /\? \? Just like \=. Cannot be used when searching backwards with the "?" command. /\{ E60 E554 E870 \{n,m} Matches n to m of the preceding atom, as many as possible \{n} Matches n of the preceding atom \{n,} Matches at least n of the preceding atom, as many as possible \{,m} Matches 0 to m of the preceding atom, as many as possible \{} Matches 0 or more of the preceding atom, as many as possible (like ) /\{-* \{-n,m} matches n to m of the preceding atom, as few as possible \{-n} matches n of the preceding atom \{-n,} matches at least n of the preceding atom, as few as possible \{-,m} matches 0 to m of the preceding atom, as few as possible \{-} matches 0 or more of the preceding atom, as few as possible n and m are positive decimal numbers or zero non-greedy If a "-" appears immediately after the "{", then a shortest match first algorithm is used (see example below). In particular, "\{-}" is the same as "" but uses the shortest match first algorithm. BUT: A match that starts earlier is preferred over a shorter match: "a\{-}b" matches "aaab" in "xaaab". Example matches ~ ab\{2,3}c "abbc" or "abbbc" a\{5} "aaaaa" ab\{2,}c "abbc", "abbbc", "abbbbc", etc. ab\{,3}c "ac", "abc", "abbc" or "abbbc" a[bc]\{3}d "abbbd", "abbcd", "acbcd", "acccd", etc. a$bc$\{1,2}d "abcd" or "abcbcd" a[bc]\{-}[cd] "abc" in "abcd" a[bc][cd] "abcd" in "abcd" The } may optionally be preceded with a backslash: \{n,m\}. /\@= \@= Matches the preceding atom with zero width. Like "(?=pattern)" in Perl. Example matches ~ foo$bar$\@= "foo" in "foobar" foo$bar$\@=foo nothing /zero-width When using "\@=" (or "^", "$", "\<", "\>") no characters are included in the match. These items are only used to check if a match can be made. This can be tricky, because a match with following items will be done in the same position. The last example above will not match "foobarfoo", because it tries match "foo" in the same position where "bar" matched. Note that using "\&" works the same as using "\@=": "foo\&.." is the same as "$foo$\@=..". But using "\&" is easier, you don't need the parentheses. /\@! \@! Matches with zero width if the preceding atom does NOT match at the current position. \|/zero-width\| Like "(?!pattern)" in Perl. Example matches ~ foo$bar$\@! any "foo" not followed by "bar" a.\{-}p\@! "a", "ap", "app", "appp", etc. not immediately followed by a "p" if $\(then$\@!.\)$ "if " not followed by "then" Using "\@!" is tricky, because there are many places where a pattern does not match. "a.p\@!" will match from an "a" to the end of the line, because "." can match all characters in the line and the "p" doesn't match at the end of the line. "a.\{-}p\@!" will match any "a", "ap", "app", etc. that isn't followed by a "p", because the "." can match a "p" and "p\@!" doesn't match after that. You can't use "\@!" to look for a non-match before the matching position: "$foo$\@!bar" will match "bar" in "foobar", because at the position where "bar" matches, "foo" does not match. To avoid matching "foobar" you could use "$foo$\@!...bar", but that doesn't match a bar at the start of a line. Use "$foo$\@<!bar". Useful example: to find "foo" in a line that does not contain "bar": > /^\%(.bar\)\@!.\zsfoo < This pattern first checks that there is not a single position in the line where "bar" matches. If ".bar" matches somewhere the \@! will reject the pattern. When there is no match any "foo" will be found. The "\zs" is to have the match start just before "foo". /\@<= \@<= Matches with zero width if the preceding atom matches just before what follows. \|/zero-width\| Like "(?<=pattern)" in Perl, but Vim allows non-fixed-width patterns. Example matches ~ $an\_s\+$\@<=file "file" after "an" and white space or an end-of-line For speed it's often much better to avoid this multi. Try using "\zs" instead \|/\zs\|. To match the same as the above example: an\_s\+\zsfile At least set a limit for the look-behind, see below. "\@<=" and "\@<!" check for matches just before what follows. Theoretically these matches could start anywhere before this position. But to limit the time needed, only the line where what follows matches is searched, and one line before that (if there is one). This should be sufficient to match most things and not be too slow. In the old regexp engine the part of the pattern after "\@<=" and "\@<!" are checked for a match first, thus things like "\1" don't work to reference inside the preceding atom. It does work the other way around: Bad example matches ~ \%#=1\1\@<=,$[a-z]\+$ ",abc" in "abc,abc" However, the new regexp engine works differently, it is better to not rely on this behavior, do not use \@<= if it can be avoided: Example matches ~ $[a-z]\+$\zs,\1 ",abc" in "abc,abc" \@123<= Like "\@<=" but only look back 123 bytes. This avoids trying lots of matches that are known to fail and make executing the pattern very slow. Example, check if there is a "<" just before "span": /<\@1<=span This will try matching "<" only one byte before "span", which is the only place that works anyway. After crossing a line boundary, the limit is relative to the end of the line. Thus the characters at the start of the line with the match are not counted (this is just to keep it simple). The number zero is the same as no limit. /\@<! \@<! Matches with zero width if the preceding atom does NOT match just before what follows. Thus this matches if there is no position in the current or previous line where the atom matches such that it ends just before what follows. \|/zero-width\| Like "(?<!pattern)" in Perl, but Vim allows non-fixed-width patterns. The match with the preceding atom is made to end just before the match with what follows, thus an atom that ends in "." will work. Warning: This can be slow (because many positions need to be checked for a match). Use a limit if you can, see below. Example matches ~ $foo$\@<!bar any "bar" that's not in "foobar" $\/\/.$\@<!in "in" which is not after "//" \@123<! Like "\@<!" but only look back 123 bytes. This avoids trying lots of matches that are known to fail and make executing the pattern very slow. /\@> \@> Matches the preceding atom like matching a whole pattern. Like "(?>pattern)" in Perl. Example matches ~ $a$\@>a nothing (the "a" takes all the "a"'s, there can't be another one following) This matches the preceding atom as if it was a pattern by itself. If it doesn't match, there is no retry with shorter sub-matches or anything. Observe this difference: "ab" and "aab" both match "aaab", but in the second case the "a" matches only the first two "a"s. "$a$\@>ab" will not match "aaab", because the "a" matches the "aaa" (as many "a"s as possible), thus the "ab" can't match. ============================================================================== 6. Ordinary atoms pattern-atoms* An ordinary atom can be: /^ ^ At beginning of pattern or after "\\|", "$", "\%(" or "\n": matches start-of-line; at other positions, matches literal '^'. \|/zero-width\| Example matches ~ ^beep( the start of the C function "beep" (probably). /\^ \^ Matches literal '^'. Can be used at any position in the pattern, but not inside []. /\_^ \_^ Matches start-of-line. \|/zero-width\| Can be used at any position in the pattern, but not inside []. Example matches ~ \_s\_^foo white space and blank lines and then "foo" at start-of-line /$* $ At end of pattern or in front of "\\|", "$" or "\n" ('magic' on): matches end-of-line <EOL>; at other positions, matches literal '$'. \|/zero-width\| /\$ \$ Matches literal '$'. Can be used at any position in the pattern, but not inside []. /\_$ \_$ Matches end-of-line. \|/zero-width\| Can be used at any position in the pattern, but not inside []. Note that "a\_$b" never matches, since "b" cannot match an end-of-line. Use "a\nb" instead \|/\n\|. Example matches ~ foo\_$\_s* "foo" at end-of-line and following white space and blank lines . (with 'nomagic': \.) /. /\. Matches any single character, but not an end-of-line. /\_. \_. Matches any single character or end-of-line. Careful: "\_." matches all text to the end of the buffer! /\<* \< Matches the beginning of a word: The next char is the first char of a word. The 'iskeyword' option specifies what is a word character. \|/zero-width\| /\> \> Matches the end of a word: The previous char is the last char of a word. The 'iskeyword' option specifies what is a word character. \|/zero-width\| /\zs \zs Matches at any position, but not inside [], and sets the start of the match there: The next char is the first char of the whole match. \|/zero-width\| Example: > /^\s\zsif < matches an "if" at the start of a line, ignoring white space. Can be used multiple times, the last one encountered in a matching branch is used. Example: > /$.\{-}\zsFab$\{3} < Finds the third occurrence of "Fab". This cannot be followed by a multi. E888* {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} /\ze \ze Matches at any position, but not inside [], and sets the end of the match there: The previous char is the last char of the whole match. \|/zero-width\| Can be used multiple times, the last one encountered in a matching branch is used. Example: "end\ze$if\\|for$" matches the "end" in "endif" and "endfor". This cannot be followed by a multi. \|E888\| {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} /\%^ start-of-file \%^ Matches start of the file. When matching with a string, matches the start of the string. For example, to find the first "VIM" in a file: > /\%^\_.\{-}\zsVIM < /\%$ end-of-file \%$ Matches end of the file. When matching with a string, matches the end of the string. Note that this does NOT find the last "VIM" in a file: > /VIM\_.\{-}\%$ < It will find the next VIM, because the part after it will always match. This one will find the last "VIM" in the file: > /VIM\ze$\(VIM$\@!\_.\)\%$ < This uses \|/\@!\| to ascertain that "VIM" does NOT match in any position after the first "VIM". Searching from the end of the file backwards is easier! /\%V* \%V Match inside the Visual area. When Visual mode has already been stopped match in the area that \|gv\| would reselect. This is a \|/zero-width\| match. To make sure the whole pattern is inside the Visual area put it at the start and just before the end of the pattern, e.g.: > /\%Vfoo.ba\%Vr < This also works if only "foo bar" was Visually selected. This: > /\%Vfoo.bar\%V < would match "foo bar" if the Visual selection continues after the "r". Only works for the current buffer. /\%# cursor-position \%# Matches with the cursor position. Only works when matching in a buffer displayed in a window. WARNING: When the cursor is moved after the pattern was used, the result becomes invalid. Vim doesn't automatically update the matches. This is especially relevant for syntax highlighting and 'hlsearch'. In other words: When the cursor moves the display isn't updated for this change. An update is done for lines which are changed (the whole line is updated) or when using the \|CTRL-L\| command (the whole screen is updated). Example, to highlight the word under the cursor: > /\k\%#\k < When 'hlsearch' is set and you move the cursor around and make changes this will clearly show when the match is updated or not. /\%'m /\%<'m /\%>'m \%'m Matches with the position of mark m. \%<'m Matches before the position of mark m. \%>'m Matches after the position of mark m. Example, to highlight the text from mark 's to 'e: > /.\%>'s.\%<'e.. < Note that two dots are required to include mark 'e in the match. That is because "\%<'e" matches at the character before the 'e mark, and since it's a \|/zero-width\| match it doesn't include that character. WARNING: When the mark is moved after the pattern was used, the result becomes invalid. Vim doesn't automatically update the matches. Similar to moving the cursor for "\%#" \|/\%#\|. /\%l* /\%>l /\%<l E951 \%23l Matches in a specific line. \%<23l Matches above a specific line (lower line number). \%>23l Matches below a specific line (higher line number). These three can be used to match specific lines in a buffer. The "23" can be any line number. The first line is 1. WARNING: When inserting or deleting lines Vim does not automatically update the matches. This means Syntax highlighting quickly becomes wrong. Example, to highlight the line where the cursor currently is: > :exe '/\%' . line(".") . 'l.' < When 'hlsearch' is set and you move the cursor around and make changes this will clearly show when the match is updated or not. /\%c* /\%>c /\%<c \%23c Matches in a specific column. \%<23c Matches before a specific column. \%>23c Matches after a specific column. These three can be used to match specific columns in a buffer or string. The "23" can be any column number. The first column is 1. Actually, the column is the byte number (thus it's not exactly right for multibyte characters). WARNING: When inserting or deleting text Vim does not automatically update the matches. This means Syntax highlighting quickly becomes wrong. Example, to highlight the column where the cursor currently is: > :exe '/\%' . col(".") . 'c' < When 'hlsearch' is set and you move the cursor around and make changes this will clearly show when the match is updated or not. Example for matching a single byte in column 44: > /\%>43c.\%<46c < Note that "\%<46c" matches in column 45 when the "." matches a byte in column 44. /\%v /\%>v /\%<v \%23v Matches in a specific virtual column. \%<23v Matches before a specific virtual column. \%>23v Matches after a specific virtual column. These three can be used to match specific virtual columns in a buffer or string. When not matching with a buffer in a window, the option values of the current window are used (e.g., 'tabstop'). The "23" can be any column number. The first column is 1. Note that some virtual column positions will never match, because they are halfway through a tab or other character that occupies more than one screen character. WARNING: When inserting or deleting text Vim does not automatically update highlighted matches. This means Syntax highlighting quickly becomes wrong. Example, to highlight all the characters after virtual column 72: > /\%>72v.* < When 'hlsearch' is set and you move the cursor around and make changes this will clearly show when the match is updated or not. To match the text up to column 17: > /^.\%17v < Column 17 is not included, because this is a \|/zero-width\| match. To include the column use: > /^.\%17v. < This command does the same thing, but also matches when there is no character in column 17: > /^.\%<18v. < Note that without the "^" to anchor the match in the first column, this will also highlight column 17: > /.\%17v < Column 17 is highlighted by 'hlsearch' because there is another match where "." matches zero characters. < Character classes: \i identifier character (see 'isident' option) /\i* \I like "\i", but excluding digits /\I \k keyword character (see 'iskeyword' option) /\k \K like "\k", but excluding digits /\K \f file name character (see 'isfname' option) /\f \F like "\f", but excluding digits /\F \p printable character (see 'isprint' option) /\p \P like "\p", but excluding digits /\P NOTE: the above also work for multibyte characters. The ones below only match ASCII characters, as indicated by the range. whitespace white-space \s whitespace character: <Space> and <Tab> /\s \S non-whitespace character; opposite of \s /\S \d digit: [0-9] /\d \D non-digit: [^0-9] /\D \x hex digit: [0-9A-Fa-f] /\x \X non-hex digit: [^0-9A-Fa-f] /\X \o octal digit: [0-7] /\o \O non-octal digit: [^0-7] /\O \w word character: [0-9A-Za-z_] /\w \W non-word character: [^0-9A-Za-z_] /\W \h head of word character: [A-Za-z_] /\h \H non-head of word character: [^A-Za-z_] /\H \a alphabetic character: [A-Za-z] /\a \A non-alphabetic character: [^A-Za-z] /\A \l lowercase character: [a-z] /\l \L non-lowercase character: [^a-z] /\L \u uppercase character: [A-Z] /\u \U non-uppercase character: [^A-Z] /\U NOTE: Using the atom is faster than the [] form. NOTE: 'ignorecase', "\c" and "\C" are not used by character classes. /\_ E63 /\_i /\_I /\_k /\_K /\_f /\_F /\_p /\_P /\_s /\_S /\_d /\_D /\_x /\_X /\_o /\_O /\_w /\_W /\_h /\_H /\_a /\_A /\_l /\_L /\_u /\_U \_x Where "x" is any of the characters above: The character class with end-of-line added (end of character classes) \e matches <Esc> /\e \t matches <Tab> /\t \r matches <CR> /\r \b matches <BS> /\b \n matches an end-of-line /\n When matching in a string instead of buffer text a literal newline character is matched. ~ matches the last given substitute string /~ /\~ A pattern enclosed by escaped parentheses. /$ /\($ /\) E.g., "$^a$" matches 'a' at the start of a line. E51 E54 E55 E872 E873 \1 Matches the same string that was matched by /\1 E65 the first sub-expression in $ and $. Example: "$[a-z]$.\1" matches "ata", "ehe", "tot", etc. \2 Like "\1", but uses second sub-expression, /\2 ... /\3 \9 Like "\1", but uses ninth sub-expression. /\9 Note: The numbering of groups is done based on which "$" comes first in the pattern (going left to right), NOT based on what is matched first. \%($ A pattern enclosed by escaped parentheses. /\%(\) /\%( E53 Just like , but without counting it as a sub-expression. This allows using more groups and it's a little bit faster. x A single character, with no special meaning, matches itself /\ /\\ \x A backslash followed by a single character, with no special meaning, is reserved for future expansions [] (with 'nomagic': \[]) /[] /\[] /\_[] /collection \_[] A collection. This is a sequence of characters enclosed in square brackets. It matches any single character in the collection. Example matches ~ [xyz] any 'x', 'y' or 'z' [a-zA-Z]$ any alphabetic character at the end of a line \c[a-z]$ same [А-яЁё] Russian alphabet (with utf-8 and cp1251) /[\n] With "\_" prepended the collection also includes the end-of-line. The same can be done by including "\n" in the collection. The end-of-line is also matched when the collection starts with "^"! Thus "\_[^ab]" matches the end-of-line and any character but "a" and "b". This makes it Vi compatible: Without the "\_" or "\n" the collection does not match an end-of-line. E769 When the ']' is not there Vim will not give an error message but assume no collection is used. Useful to search for '['. However, you do get E769 for internal searching. And be aware that in a `:substitute` command the whole command becomes the pattern. E.g. ":s/[/x/" searches for "[/x" and replaces it with nothing. It does not search for "[" and replaces it with "x"! E944 E945 If the sequence begins with "^", it matches any single character NOT in the collection: "[^xyz]" matches anything but 'x', 'y' and 'z'. - If two characters in the sequence are separated by '-', this is shorthand for the full list of ASCII characters between them. E.g., "[0-9]" matches any decimal digit. If the starting character exceeds the ending character, e.g. [c-a], E944 occurs. Non-ASCII characters can be used, but the character values must not be more than 256 apart in the old regexp engine. For example, searching by [\u3000-\u4000] after setting re=1 emits a E945 error. Prepending \%#=2 will fix it. - A character class expression is evaluated to the set of characters belonging to that character class. The following character classes are supported: Name Func Contents ~ [:alnum:] [:alnum:] isalnum ASCII letters and digits [:alpha:] [:alpha:] isalpha ASCII letters [:blank:] [:blank:] space and tab [:cntrl:] [:cntrl:] iscntrl ASCII control characters [:digit:] [:digit:] decimal digits '0' to '9' [:graph:] [:graph:] isgraph ASCII printable characters excluding space [:lower:] [:lower:] (1) lowercase letters (all letters when 'ignorecase' is used) [:print:] [:print:] (2) printable characters including space [:punct:] [:punct:] ispunct ASCII punctuation characters [:space:] [:space:] whitespace characters: space, tab, CR, NL, vertical tab, form feed [:upper:] [:upper:] (3) uppercase letters (all letters when 'ignorecase' is used) [:xdigit:] [:xdigit:] hexadecimal digits: 0-9, a-f, A-F [:return:] [:return:] the <CR> character [:tab:] [:tab:] the <Tab> character [:escape:] [:escape:] the <Esc> character [:backspace:] [:backspace:] the <BS> character [:ident:] [:ident:] identifier character (same as "\i") [:keyword:] [:keyword:] keyword character (same as "\k") [:fname:] [:fname:] file name character (same as "\f") The square brackets in character class expressions are additional to the square brackets delimiting a collection. For example, the following is a plausible pattern for a UNIX filename: "[-./[:alnum:]_~]\+". That is, a list of at least one character, each of which is either '-', '.', '/', alphabetic, numeric, '_' or '~'. These items only work for 8-bit characters, except [:lower:] and [:upper:] also work for multibyte characters when using the new regexp engine. See \|two-engines\|. In the future these items may work for multibyte characters. For now, to get all "alpha" characters you can use: [[:lower:][:upper:]]. The "Func" column shows what library function is used. The implementation depends on the system. Otherwise: (1) Uses islower() for ASCII and Vim builtin rules for other characters. (2) Uses Vim builtin rules (3) As with (1) but using isupper() /[[= [==] - An equivalence class. This means that characters are matched that have almost the same meaning, e.g., when ignoring accents. This only works for Unicode, latin1 and latin9. The form is: [=a=] /[[. [..] - A collation element. This currently simply accepts a single character in the form: [.a.] /\] - To include a literal ']', '^', '-' or '\' in the collection, put a backslash before it: "[xyz\]]", "[\^xyz]", "[xy\-z]" and "[xyz\\]". (Note: POSIX does not support the use of a backslash this way). For ']' you can also make it the first character (following a possible "^"): "[]xyz]" or "[^]xyz]". For '-' you can also make it the first or last character: "[-xyz]", "[^-xyz]" or "[xyz-]". For '\' you can also let it be followed by any character that's not in "^]-\bdertnoUux". "[\xyz]" matches '\', 'x', 'y' and 'z'. It's better to use "\\" though, future expansions may use other characters after '\'. - Omitting the trailing ] is not considered an error. "[]" works like "[]]", it matches the ']' character. - The following translations are accepted when the 'l' flag is not included in 'cpoptions': \e <Esc> \t <Tab> \r <CR> (NOT end-of-line!) \b <BS> \n line break, see above \|/[\n]\| \d123 decimal number of character \o40 octal number of character up to 0o377 \x20 hexadecimal number of character up to 0xff \u20AC hex. number of multibyte character up to 0xffff \U1234 hex. number of multibyte character up to 0xffffffff NOTE: The other backslash codes mentioned above do not work inside []! - Matching with a collection can be slow, because each character in the text has to be compared with each character in the collection. Use one of the other atoms above when possible. Example: "\d" is much faster than "[0-9]" and matches the same characters. However, the new \|NFA\| regexp engine deals with this better than the old one. /\%[] E69 E70 E369 \%[] A sequence of optionally matched atoms. This always matches. It matches as much of the list of atoms it contains as possible. Thus it stops at the first atom that doesn't match. For example: > /r\%[ead] < matches "r", "re", "rea" or "read". The longest that matches is used. To match the Ex command "function", where "fu" is required and "nction" is optional, this would work: > /\<fu\%[nction]\> < The end-of-word atom "\>" is used to avoid matching "fu" in "full". It gets more complicated when the atoms are not ordinary characters. You don't often have to use it, but it is possible. Example: > /\<r\%[[eo]ad]\> < Matches the words "r", "re", "ro", "rea", "roa", "read" and "road". There can be no , \%(\) or \z(\) items inside the [] and \%[] does not nest. To include a "[" use "[[]" and for "]" use []]", e.g.,: > /index\%[[[]0[]]] < matches "index" "index[", "index[0" and "index[0]". {not available when compiled without the \|+syntax\| feature} /\%d /\%x /\%o /\%u /\%U E678 \%d123 Matches the character specified with a decimal number. Must be followed by a non-digit. \%o40 Matches the character specified with an octal number up to 0377. Numbers below 0o40 must be followed by a non-octal digit or a non-digit. \%x2a Matches the character specified with up to two hexadecimal characters. \%u20AC Matches the character specified with up to four hexadecimal characters. \%U1234abcd Matches the character specified with up to eight hexadecimal characters, up to 0x7fffffff ============================================================================== 7. Ignoring case in a pattern /ignorecase If the 'ignorecase' option is on, the case of normal letters is ignored. 'smartcase' can be set to ignore case when the pattern contains lowercase letters only. /\c /\C When "\c" appears anywhere in the pattern, the whole pattern is handled like 'ignorecase' is on. The actual value of 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' is ignored. "\C" does the opposite: Force matching case for the whole pattern. {only Vim supports \c and \C} Note that 'ignorecase', "\c" and "\C" are not used for the character classes. Examples: pattern 'ignorecase' 'smartcase' matches ~ foo off - foo foo on - foo Foo FOO Foo on off foo Foo FOO Foo on on Foo \cfoo - - foo Foo FOO foo\C - - foo Technical detail: NL-used-for-Nul <Nul> characters in the file are stored as <NL> in memory. In the display they are shown as "^@". The translation is done when reading and writing files. To match a <Nul> with a search pattern you can just enter CTRL-@ or "CTRL-V 000". This is probably just what you expect. Internally the character is replaced with a <NL> in the search pattern. What is unusual is that typing CTRL-V CTRL-J also inserts a <NL>, thus also searches for a <Nul> in the file. CR-used-for-NL When 'fileformat' is "mac", <NL> characters in the file are stored as <CR> characters internally. In the text they are shown as "^J". Otherwise this works similar to the usage of <NL> for a <Nul>. When working with expression evaluation, a <NL> character in the pattern matches a <NL> in the string. The use of "\n" (backslash n) to match a <NL> doesn't work there, it only works to match text in the buffer. pattern-multi-byte pattern-multibyte Patterns will also work with multibyte characters, mostly as you would expect. But invalid bytes may cause trouble, a pattern with an invalid byte will probably never match. ============================================================================== 8. Composing characters patterns-composing /\Z When "\Z" appears anywhere in the pattern, all composing characters are ignored. Thus only the base characters need to match, the composing characters may be different and the number of composing characters may differ. Only relevant when 'encoding' is "utf-8". Exception: If the pattern starts with one or more composing characters, these must match. /\%C Use "\%C" to skip any composing characters. For example, the pattern "a" does not match in "càt" (where the a has the composing character 0x0300), but "a\%C" does. Note that this does not match "cát" (where the á is character 0xe1, it does not have a compositing character). It does match "cat" (where the a is just an a). When a composing character appears at the start of the pattern or after an item that doesn't include the composing character, a match is found at any character that includes this composing character. When using a dot and a composing character, this works the same as the composing character by itself, except that it doesn't matter what comes before this. The order of composing characters does not matter. Also, the text may have more composing characters than the pattern, it still matches. But all composing characters in the pattern must be found in the text. Suppose B is a base character and x and y are composing characters: pattern text match ~ Bxy Bxy yes (perfect match) Bxy Byx yes (order ignored) Bxy By no (x missing) Bxy Bx no (y missing) Bx Bx yes (perfect match) Bx By no (x missing) Bx Bxy yes (extra y ignored) Bx Byx yes (extra y ignored) ============================================================================== 9. Compare with Perl patterns perl-patterns Vim's regexes are most similar to Perl's, in terms of what you can do. The difference between them is mostly just notation; here's a summary of where they differ: Capability in Vimspeak in Perlspeak ~ ---------------------------------------------------------------- force case insensitivity \c (?i) force case sensitivity \C (?-i) backref-less grouping \%(atom\) (?:atom) conservative quantifiers \{-n,m} ?, +?, ??, {}? 0-width match atom\@= (?=atom) 0-width non-match atom\@! (?!atom) 0-width preceding match atom\@<= (?<=atom) 0-width preceding non-match atom\@<! (?<!atom) match without retry atom\@> (?>atom) Vim and Perl handle newline characters inside a string a bit differently: In Perl, ^ and $ only match at the very beginning and end of the text, by default, but you can set the 'm' flag, which lets them match at embedded newlines as well. You can also set the 's' flag, which causes a . to match newlines as well. (Both these flags can be changed inside a pattern using the same syntax used for the i flag above, BTW.) On the other hand, Vim's ^ and $ always match at embedded newlines, and you get two separate atoms, \%^ and \%$, which only match at the very start and end of the text, respectively. Vim solves the second problem by giving you the \_ "modifier": put it in front of a . or a character class, and they will match newlines as well. Finally, these constructs are unique to Perl: - execution of arbitrary code in the regex: (?{perl code}) - conditional expressions: (?(condition)true-expr\|false-expr) ...and these are unique to Vim: - changing the magic-ness of a pattern: \v \V \m \M (very useful for avoiding backslashitis) - sequence of optionally matching atoms: \%[atoms] - \& (which is to \\| what "and" is to "or"; it forces several branches to match at one spot) - matching lines/columns by number: \%5l \%5c \%5v - setting the start and end of the match: \zs \ze ============================================================================== 10. Highlighting matches match-highlight* :mat :match :mat[ch] {group} /{pattern}/ Define a pattern to highlight in the current window. It will be highlighted with {group}. Example: > :highlight MyGroup ctermbg=green guibg=green :match MyGroup /TODO/ < Instead of // any character can be used to mark the start and end of the {pattern}. Watch out for using special characters, such as '"' and '\|'. {group} must exist at the moment this command is executed. The {group} highlighting still applies when a character is to be highlighted for 'hlsearch', as the highlighting for matches is given higher priority than that of 'hlsearch'. Syntax highlighting (see 'syntax') is also overruled by matches. Note that highlighting the last used search pattern with 'hlsearch' is used in all windows, while the pattern defined with ":match" only exists in the current window. It is kept when switching to another buffer. 'ignorecase' does not apply, use \|/\c\| in the pattern to ignore case. Otherwise case is not ignored. 'redrawtime' defines the maximum time searched for pattern matches. When matching end-of-line and Vim redraws only part of the display you may get unexpected results. That is because Vim looks for a match in the line where redrawing starts. Also see \|matcharg()\| and \|getmatches()\|. The former returns the highlight group and pattern of a previous \|:match\| command. The latter returns a list with highlight groups and patterns defined by both \|matchadd()\| and \|:match\|. Highlighting matches using \|:match\| are limited to three matches (aside from \|:match\|, \|:2match\| and \|:3match\| are available). \|matchadd()\| does not have this limitation and in addition makes it possible to prioritize matches. Another example, which highlights all characters in virtual column 72 and more: > :highlight rightMargin term=bold ctermfg=blue guifg=blue :match rightMargin /.\%>72v/ < To highlight all character that are in virtual column 7: > :highlight col8 ctermbg=grey guibg=grey :match col8 /\%<8v.\%>7v/ < Note the use of two items to also match a character that occupies more than one virtual column, such as a TAB. :mat[ch] :mat[ch] none Clear a previously defined match pattern. :2mat[ch] {group} /{pattern}/ :2match :2mat[ch] :2mat[ch] none :3mat[ch] {group} /{pattern}/ :3match :3mat[ch] :3mat[ch] none Just like \|:match\| above, but set a separate match. Thus there can be three matches active at the same time. The match with the lowest number has priority if several match at the same position. The ":3match" command is used by the \|matchparen\| plugin. You are suggested to use ":match" for manual matching and ":2match" for another plugin. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	58.73 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

GetLatestVimScripts Usage glvs-usage :GLVS Unless it has been defined elsewhere, > :GLVS will invoke GetLatestVimScripts(). If some other plugin has defined that command, then you may type > :GetLatestVimScripts < The script will attempt to update and, if permitted, will automatically install scripts from http://vim.sourceforge.net/. To do so it will peruse a file, > .vim/GetLatest/GetLatestVimScripts.dat (unix) < or > ..wherever..\vimfiles\GetLatest\GetLatestVimScripts.dat (windows) (see \|glvs-data\|), and examine plugins in your [.vim\|vimfiles]/plugin directory (see \|glvs-plugins\|). Scripts which have been downloaded will appear in the ~/.vim/GetLatest (unix) or ..wherever..\vimfiles\GetLatest (windows) subdirectory. GetLatestVimScripts will attempt to automatically install them if you have the following line in your <.vimrc>: > let g:GetLatestVimScripts_allowautoinstall=1 The <GetLatestVimScripts.dat> file will be automatically be updated to reflect the latest version of script(s) so downloaded. (also see \|glvs-options\|) ============================================================================== 4. GetLatestVimScripts Data File getscript-data glvs-data :GetLatestVimScripts_dat The data file <GetLatestVimScripts.dat> must have for its first two lines the following text: > ScriptID SourceID Filename -------------------------- < Following those two lines are three columns; the first two are numeric followed by a text column. The GetLatest/GetLatestVimScripts.dist file contains an example of such a data file. Anything following a #... is ignored, so you may embed comments in the file. The first number on each line gives the script's ScriptID. When you're about to use a web browser to look at scripts on http://vim.sf.net/, just before you click on the script's link, you'll see a line resembling http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=40 The "40" happens to be a ScriptID that GetLatestVimScripts needs to download the associated page, and is assigned by vim.sf.net itself during initial uploading of the plugin. The second number on each line gives the script's SourceID. The SourceID records the count of uploaded scripts as determined by vim.sf.net; hence it serves to indicate "when" a script was uploaded. Setting the SourceID to 1 insures that GetLatestVimScripts will assume that the script it has is out-of-date. The SourceID is extracted by GetLatestVimScripts from the script's page on vim.sf.net; whenever it is greater than the one stored in the GetLatestVimScripts.dat file, the script will be downloaded (see \|GetLatestVimScripts_dat\|). If your script's author has included a special comment line in his/her plugin, the plugin itself will be used by GetLatestVimScripts to build your <GetLatestVimScripts.dat> file, including any dependencies on other scripts it may have. As an example, consider: > " GetLatestVimScripts: 884 1 :AutoInstall: AutoAlign.vim This comment line tells getscript.vim to check vimscript #884 and that the script is automatically installable. Getscript will also use this line to help build the GetLatestVimScripts.dat file, by including a line such as: > 884 1 :AutoInstall: AutoAlign.vim < assuming that such a line isn't already in GetLatestVimScripts.dat file. See \|glvs-plugins\| for more. Thus, GetLatestVimScripts thus provides a comprehensive ability to keep your plugins up-to-date! In summary: * Optionally tell getscript that it is allowed to build/append a GetLatestVimScripts.dat file based upon already installed plugins: > let g:GetLatestVimScripts_allowautoinstall=1 < * A line such as > " GetLatestVimScripts: 884 1 :AutoInstall: AutoAlign.vim < in an already-downloaded plugin constitutes the concurrence of the plugin author that getscript may do AutoInstall. Not all plugins may be AutoInstall-able, and the plugin's author is best situated to know whether or not his/her plugin will AutoInstall properly. * A line such as > 884 1 :AutoInstall: AutoAlign.vim < in your GetLatestVimScripts.dat file constitutes your permission to getscript to do AutoInstall. AutoInstall requires both your and the plugin author's permission. See \|GetLatestVimScripts_dat\|. GetLatestVimScripts_dat As an example of a <GetLatestVimScripts.dat> file: > ScriptID SourceID Filename -------------------------- 294 1 :AutoInstall: Align.vim 120 2 Decho.vim 40 3 DrawIt.tar.gz 451 4 EasyAccents.vim 195 5 engspchk.vim 642 6 GetLatestVimScripts.vim 489 7 Manpageview.vim < Note: the first two lines are required, but essentially act as comments. ============================================================================== 5. GetLatestVimScripts Friendly Plugins getscript-plugins glvs-plugins (this section is for plugin authors)~ If a plugin author includes the following comment anywhere in their plugin, GetLatestVimScripts will find it and use it to automatically build the user's GetLatestVimScripts.dat files: > src_id v " GetLatestVimScripts: ### ### yourscriptname ^ scriptid < As an author, you should include such a line in to refer to your own script plus any additional lines describing any plugin dependencies it may have. Same format, of course! If your command is auto-installable (see \|glvs-autoinstall\|), and most scripts are, then you may include :AutoInstall: just before "yourscriptname": > src_id v " GetLatestVimScripts: ### ### :AutoInstall: yourscriptname ^ scriptid < NOTE: The :AutoInstall: feature requires both the plugin author's and~ the user's permission to operate!~ GetLatestVimScripts commands for those scripts are then appended, if not already present, to the user's GetLatest/GetLatestVimScripts.dat file. It is a relatively painless way to automate the acquisition of any scripts your plugins depend upon. Now, as an author, you probably don't want GetLatestVimScripts to download your own scripts atop your own copy, thereby overwriting your not-yet-released hard work. GetLatestVimScripts provides a solution for this: put > 0 0 yourscriptname < into your <GetLatestVimScripts.dat> file and GetLatestVimScripts will skip examining the "yourscriptname" scripts for those GetLatestVimScripts comment lines. As a result, those lines won't be inadvertently installed into your <GetLatestVimScripts.dat> file and subsequently used to download your own scripts. This is especially important to do if you've included the :AutoInstall: option. Be certain to use the same "yourscriptname" in the "0 0 yourscriptname" line as you've used in your GetLatestVimScripts comment! ============================================================================== 6. GetLatestVimScripts AutoInstall getscript-autoinstall glvs-autoinstall GetLatestVimScripts now supports "AutoInstall". Not all scripts are supportive of auto-install, as they may have special things you need to do to install them (please refer to the script's "install" directions). On the other hand, most scripts will be auto-installable. To let GetLatestVimScripts do an autoinstall, the data file's comment field should begin with (surrounding blanks are ignored): > :AutoInstall: < Both colons are needed, and it should begin the comment (yourscriptname) field. One may prevent any autoinstalling by putting the following line in your <.vimrc>: > let g:GetLatestVimScripts_allowautoinstall= 0 < With :AutoInstall: enabled, as it is by default, files which end with ---.tar.bz2 : decompressed & untarred in .vim/ directory ---.vba.bz2 : decompressed in .vim/ directory, then vimball handles it ---.vim.bz2 : decompressed & moved into .vim/plugin directory ---.tar.gz : decompressed & untarred in .vim/ directory ---.vba.gz : decompressed in .vim/ directory, then vimball handles it ---.vim.gz : decompressed & moved into .vim/plugin directory ---.vba : unzipped in .vim/ directory ---.vim : moved to .vim/plugin directory ---.zip : unzipped in .vim/ directory and which merely need to have their components placed by the untar/gunzip or move-to-plugin-directory process should be auto-installable. Vimballs, of course, should always be auto-installable. When is a script not auto-installable? Let me give an example: .vim/after/syntax/blockhl.vim The <blockhl.vim> script provides block highlighting for C/C++ programs; it is available at: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=104 Currently, vim's after/syntax only supports by-filetype scripts (in blockhl.vim's case, that's after/syntax/c.vim). Hence, auto-install would possibly overwrite the current user's after/syntax/c.vim file. In my own case, I use <aftersyntax.vim> (renamed to after/syntax/c.vim) to allow a after/syntax/c/ directory: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1023 The script allows multiple syntax files to exist separately in the after/syntax/c subdirectory. I can't bundle aftersyntax.vim in and build an appropriate tarball for auto-install because of the potential for the after/syntax/c.vim contained in it to overwrite a user's c.vim. ============================================================================== 7. GetLatestVimScripts Options glvs-options > g:GetLatestVimScripts_wget < default= "wget" This variable holds the name of the command for obtaining scripts. > g:GetLatestVimScripts_options < default= "-q -O" This variable holds the options to be used with the g:GetLatestVimScripts_wget command. > g:GetLatestVimScripts_allowautoinstall < default= 1 This variable indicates whether GetLatestVimScripts is allowed to attempt to automatically install scripts. Furthermore, the plugin author has to have explicitly indicated that his/her plugin is automatically installable (via the :AutoInstall: keyword in the GetLatestVimScripts comment line). > g:GetLatestVimScripts_autoinstalldir < default= $HOME/.vim (linux) default= $HOME/vimfiles (windows) Override where :AutoInstall: scripts will be installed. Doesn't override vimball installation. > g:GetLatestVimScripts_scriptaddr < default='http://vim.sourceforge.net/script.php?script_id=' Override this if your system needs ... ='http://vim.sourceforge.net/script/script.php?script_id=' ============================================================================== 8. GetLatestVimScripts Algorithm glvs-algorithm glvs-alg The Vim sourceforge page dynamically creates a page by keying off of the so-called script-id. Within the webpage of http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=40 is a line specifying the latest source-id (src_id). The source identifier numbers are always increasing, hence if the src_id is greater than the one recorded for the script in GetLatestVimScripts then it's time to download a newer copy of that script. GetLatestVimScripts will then download the script and update its internal database of script ids, source ids, and scriptnames. The AutoInstall process will: Move the file from GetLatest/ to the following directory Unix : $HOME/.vim Windows: $HOME\vimfiles if the downloaded file ends with ".bz2" bunzip2 it else if the downloaded file ends with ".gz" gunzip it if the resulting file ends with ".zip" unzip it else if the resulting file ends with ".tar" tar -oxvf it else if the resulting file ends with ".vim" move it to the plugin subdirectory ============================================================================== 9.

Fixed. v17 Aug 25, 2004 : * g:GetLatestVimScripts_allowautoinstall, which defaults to 1, can be used to prevent all :AutoInstall: v16 Aug 25, 2004 : * made execution of bunzip2/gunzip/tar/zip silent * fixed bug with :AutoInstall: use of helptags v15 Aug 24, 2004 : * bugfix: the "0 0 comment" download prevention wasn't always preventing downloads (just usually). Fixed. v14 Aug 24, 2004 : * bugfix -- helptags was using dotvim, rather than s:dotvim. Fixed. v13 Aug 23, 2004 : * will skip downloading a file if its scriptid or srcid is zero. Useful for script authors; that way their own GetLatestVimScripts activity won't overwrite their scripts. v12 Aug 23, 2004 : * bugfix - a "return" got left in the distribution that was intended only for testing. Removed, now works. * :AutoInstall: implemented v11 Aug 20, 2004 : * GetLatestVimScripts is now a plugin: * :GetLatestVimScripts command * (runtimepath)/GetLatest/GetLatestVimScripts.dat now holds scripts that need updating v10 Apr 19, 2004 : * moved history from script to doc v9 Jan 23, 2004 : windows (win32/win16/win95) will use double quotes ("") whereas other systems will use single quotes ('') around the urls in calls via wget v8 Dec 01, 2003 : makes three tries at downloading v7 Sep 02, 2003 : added error messages if "Click on..." or "src_id=" not found in downloaded webpage Uses t_ti, t_te, and rs to make progress visible v6 Aug 06, 2003 : final status messages now display summary of work ( "Downloaded someqty scripts" or "Everything was current") Now GetLatestVimScripts is careful about downloading GetLatestVimScripts.vim itself! (goes to <NEW_GetLatestVimScripts.vim>) v5 Aug 04, 2003 : missing an endif near bottom v4 Jun 17, 2003 : redraw! just before each "considering" message v3 May 27, 2003 : Protects downloaded files from errant shell expansions with single quotes: '...' v2 May 14, 2003 : extracts name of item to be obtained from the script file. Uses it instead of comment field for output filename; comment is used in the "considering..." line and is now just a comment! * Fixed a bug: a string-of-numbers is not the same as a number, so I added zero to them and they became numbers. Fixes comparison. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:fdm=marker	20.59 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 pi_gzip.txt pi_gzip.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 May 05 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Editing compressed files with Vim gzip bzip2 compress 1. Autocommands \|gzip-autocmd\| The functionality mentioned here is a \|standard-plugin\|. This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set. You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_gzip" variable: > :let loaded_gzip = 1 ============================================================================== 1. Autocommands gzip-autocmd The plugin installs autocommands to intercept reading and writing of files with these extensions: extension compression ~ .Z compress (Lempel-Ziv) .gz gzip .bz2 bzip2 .lzma lzma .xz xz .lz lzip *.zst zstd That's actually the only thing you need to know. There are no options. After decompressing a file, the filetype will be detected again. This will make a file like "foo.c.gz" get the "c" filetype. If you have 'patchmode' set, it will be appended after the extension for compression. Thus editing the patchmode file will not give you the automatic decompression. You have to rename the file if you want this. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	1.26 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

LogiPat Manual logiPat-manual logiPat-man logiPat-arg logiPat-input logiPat-pattern logiPat-operators Boolean logic patterns are composed of operators ! = not \| = logical-or & = logical-and grouping ( ... ) patterns "pattern" logiPat-cmd :LogiPat {boolean-logic pattern} :LogiPat :LogiPat is a command which takes a boolean-logic argument (\|logiPat-arg\|). :LP {boolean-logic pattern} :LP :LP is a shorthand command version of :LogiPat (\|logiPat-cmd\|). :LPE {boolean-logic pattern} :LPE No search is done, but the conversion from the boolean logic pattern to the regular expression is performed and echoed onto the display. :LogiPatFlags {search flags} LogiPat-flags LogiPat uses the \|search()\| command. The flags passed to that call to search() may be specified by the :LogiPatFlags command. :LPF {search flags} :LPF :LPF is a shorthand version of :LogiPatFlags. :let pat=LogiPat({boolean-logic pattern}) LogiPat() If one calls LogiPat() directly, no search is done, but the transformation from the boolean logic pattern into a regular expression pattern is performed and returned. To get a " inside a pattern, as opposed to having it delimit the pattern, double it. ============================================================================== 3. LogiPat Examples logiPat-examples LogiPat takes Boolean logic arguments and produces a regular expression which implements the choices. A series of examples follows: > :LogiPat "abc" < will search for lines containing the string :abc: > :LogiPat "ab""cd" < will search for lines containing the string :ab"cd: > :LogiPat !"abc" < will search for lines which don't contain the string :abc: > :LogiPat "abc"\|"def" < will search for lines which contain either the string :abc: or the string :def: > :LogiPat !("abc"\|"def") < will search for lines which don't contain either of the strings :abc: or :def: > :LogiPat "abc"&"def" < will search for lines which contain both of the strings :abc: and :def: > :let pat= LogiPat('!"abc"') < will return the regular expression which will match all lines not containing :abc: . The double quotes are needed to pass normal patterns to LogiPat, and differentiate such patterns from boolean logic operators. ============================================================================== 4. Caveat logiPat-caveat The "not" operator may be fragile; ie. it may not always play well with the & (logical-and) and \| (logical-or) operators. Please try out your patterns, possibly with :set hls, to insure that what is matching is what you want. ============================================================================== 5.

Credits...............................................\|netrw-credits\| ============================================================================== 2. Starting With Netrw netrw-start {{{1 Netrw makes reading files, writing files, browsing over a network, and local browsing easy! First, make sure that you have plugins enabled, so you'll need to have at least the following in your <.vimrc>: (or see \|netrw-activate\|) > set nocp " 'compatible' is not set filetype plugin on " plugins are enabled < (see \|'cp'\| and \|:filetype-plugin-on\|) Netrw supports "transparent" editing of files on other machines using urls (see \|netrw-transparent\|). As an example of this, let's assume you have an account on some other machine; if you can use scp, try: > vim scp://hostname/path/to/file < Want to make ssh/scp easier to use? Check out \|netrw-ssh-hack\|! So, what if you have ftp, not ssh/scp? That's easy, too; try > vim ftp://hostname/path/to/file < Want to make ftp simpler to use? See if your ftp supports a file called <.netrc> -- typically it goes in your home directory, has read/write permissions for only the user to read (ie. not group, world, other, etc), and has lines resembling > machine HOSTNAME login USERID password "PASSWORD" machine HOSTNAME login USERID password "PASSWORD" ... default login USERID password "PASSWORD" < Windows' ftp doesn't support .netrc; however, one may have in one's .vimrc: > let g:netrw_ftp_cmd= 'c:\Windows\System32\ftp -s:C:\Users\MyUserName\MACHINE' < Netrw will substitute the host's machine name for "MACHINE" from the URL it is attempting to open, and so one may specify > userid password for each site in a separate file: c:\Users\MyUserName\MachineName. Now about browsing -- when you just want to look around before editing a file. For browsing on your current host, just "edit" a directory: > vim . vim /home/userid/path < For browsing on a remote host, "edit" a directory (but make sure that the directory name is followed by a "/"): > vim scp://hostname/ vim ftp://hostname/path/to/dir/ < See \|netrw-browse\| for more! There are more protocols supported by netrw than just scp and ftp, too: see the next section, \|netrw-externapp\|, on how to use these external applications with netrw and vim. PREVENTING LOADING netrw-noload If you want to use plugins, but for some reason don't wish to use netrw, then you need to avoid loading both the plugin and the autoload portions of netrw. You may do so by placing the following two lines in your <.vimrc>: > :let g:loaded_netrw = 1 :let g:loaded_netrwPlugin = 1 < ============================================================================== 3. Netrw Reference netrw-ref {{{1 Netrw supports several protocols in addition to scp and ftp as mentioned in \|netrw-start\|. These include dav, fetch, http,... well, just look at the list in \|netrw-externapp\|. Each protocol is associated with a variable which holds the default command supporting that protocol. EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS AND PROTOCOLS netrw-externapp {{{2 Protocol Variable Default Value -------- ---------------- ------------- dav: g:netrw_dav_cmd = "cadaver" if cadaver is executable dav: g:netrw_dav_cmd = "curl -o" elseif curl is available fetch: g:netrw_fetch_cmd = "fetch -o" if fetch is available ftp: g:netrw_ftp_cmd = "ftp" http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "elinks" if elinks is available http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "links" elseif links is available http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "curl" elseif curl is available http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "wget" elseif wget is available http: g:netrw_http_cmd = "fetch" elseif fetch is available http: g:netrw_http_put_cmd = "curl -T" rcp: g:netrw_rcp_cmd = "rcp" rsync: g:netrw_rsync_cmd = "rsync" (see \|g:netrw_rsync_sep\|) scp: g:netrw_scp_cmd = "scp -q" sftp: g:netrw_sftp_cmd = "sftp" file: g:netrw_file_cmd = "elinks" or "links" g:netrw_http_xcmd : the option string for http://... protocols are specified via this variable and may be independently overridden. By default, the option arguments for the http-handling commands are: > elinks : "-source >" links : "-dump >" curl : "-L -o" wget : "-q -O" fetch : "-o" < For example, if your system has elinks, and you'd rather see the page using an attempt at rendering the text, you may wish to have > let g:netrw_http_xcmd= "-dump >" < in your .vimrc. g:netrw_http_put_cmd: this option specifies both the executable and any needed options. This command does a PUT operation to the url. READING netrw-read netrw-nread {{{2 Generally, one may just use the URL notation with a normal editing command, such as > :e ftp://[user@]machine/path < Netrw also provides the Nread command: :Nread ? give help :Nread "machine:path" uses rcp :Nread "machine path" uses ftp w/ <.netrc> :Nread "machine id password path" uses ftp :Nread "dav://machine[:port]/path" uses cadaver :Nread "fetch://[user@]machine/path" uses fetch :Nread "ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]port]/path" uses ftp w/ <.netrc> :Nread "http://[user@]machine/path" uses http uses wget :Nread "rcp://[user@]machine/path" uses rcp :Nread "rsync://[user@]machine[:port]/path" uses rsync :Nread "scp://[user@]machine[[:#]port]/path" uses scp :Nread "sftp://[user@]machine/path" uses sftp WRITING netrw-write netrw-nwrite {{{2 One may just use the URL notation with a normal file writing command, such as > :w ftp://[user@]machine/path < Netrw also provides the Nwrite command: :Nwrite ? give help :Nwrite "machine:path" uses rcp :Nwrite "machine path" uses ftp w/ <.netrc> :Nwrite "machine id password path" uses ftp :Nwrite "dav://machine[:port]/path" uses cadaver :Nwrite "ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]port]/path" uses ftp w/ <.netrc> :Nwrite "rcp://[user@]machine/path" uses rcp :Nwrite "rsync://[user@]machine[:port]/path" uses rsync :Nwrite "scp://[user@]machine[[:#]port]/path" uses scp :Nwrite "sftp://[user@]machine/path" uses sftp http: not supported! SOURCING netrw-source {{{2 One may just use the URL notation with the normal file sourcing command, such as > :so ftp://[user@]machine/path < Netrw also provides the Nsource command: :Nsource ? give help :Nsource "dav://machine[:port]/path" uses cadaver :Nsource "fetch://[user@]machine/path" uses fetch :Nsource "ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]port]/path" uses ftp w/ <.netrc> :Nsource "http://[user@]machine/path" uses http uses wget :Nsource "rcp://[user@]machine/path" uses rcp :Nsource "rsync://[user@]machine[:port]/path" uses rsync :Nsource "scp://[user@]machine[[:#]port]/path" uses scp :Nsource "sftp://[user@]machine/path" uses sftp DIRECTORY LISTING netrw-trailingslash netrw-dirlist {{{2 One may browse a directory to get a listing by simply attempting to edit the directory: > :e scp://[user]@hostname/path/ :e ftp://[user]@hostname/path/ < For remote directory listings (ie. those using scp or ftp), that trailing "/" is necessary (the slash tells netrw to treat the argument as a directory to browse instead of as a file to download). The Nread command may also be used to accomplish this (again, that trailing slash is necessary): > :Nread [protocol]://[user]@hostname/path/ < netrw-login netrw-password CHANGING USERID AND PASSWORD netrw-chgup netrw-userpass {{{2 Attempts to use ftp will prompt you for a user-id and a password. These will be saved in global variables \|g:netrw_uid\| and \|s:netrw_passwd\|; subsequent use of ftp will re-use those two strings, thereby simplifying use of ftp. However, if you need to use a different user id and/or password, you'll want to call \|NetUserPass()\| first. To work around the need to enter passwords, check if your ftp supports a <.netrc> file in your home directory. Also see \|netrw-passwd\| (and if you're using ssh/scp hoping to figure out how to not need to use passwords for scp, look at \|netrw-ssh-hack\|). :NetUserPass [uid [password]] -- prompts as needed :call NetUserPass() -- prompts for uid and password :call NetUserPass("uid") -- prompts for password :call NetUserPass("uid","password") -- sets global uid and password (Related topics: \|ftp\| \|netrw-userpass\| \|netrw-start\|) NETRW VARIABLES AND SETTINGS netrw-variables {{{2 (Also see: \|netrw-browser-var\| : netrw browser option variables \|netrw-protocol\| : file transfer protocol option variables \|netrw-settings\| : additional file transfer options \|netrw-browser-options\| : these options affect browsing directories ) Netrw provides a lot of variables which allow you to customize netrw to your preferences. One way to look at them is via the command :NetrwSettings (see \|netrw-settings\|) which will display your current netrw settings. Most such settings are described below, in \|netrw-browser-options\|, and in \|netrw-externapp\|: b:netrw_lastfile last file Network-read/written retained on a per-buffer basis (supports plain :Nw ) g:netrw_bufsettings the settings that netrw buffers have (default) noma nomod nonu nowrap ro nobl g:netrw_chgwin specifies a window number where subsequent file edits will take place. (also see \|netrw-C\|) (default) -1 g:Netrw_funcref specifies a function (or functions) to be called when netrw edits a file. The file is first edited, and then the function reference (\|Funcref\|) is called. This variable may also hold a \|List\| of Funcrefs. (default) not defined. (the capital in g:Netrw... is required by its holding a function reference) > Example: place in .vimrc; affects all file opening fun! MyFuncRef() endfun let g:Netrw_funcref= function("MyFuncRef") < g:Netrw_UserMaps specifies a function or \|List\| of functions which can be used to set up user-specified maps and functionality. See \|netrw-usermaps\| g:netrw_ftp if it doesn't exist, use default ftp =0 use default ftp (uid password) =1 use alternate ftp method (user uid password) If you're having trouble with ftp, try changing the value of this variable to see if the alternate ftp method works for your setup. g:netrw_ftp_options Chosen by default, these options are supposed to turn interactive prompting off and to restrain ftp from attempting auto-login upon initial connection. However, it appears that not all ftp implementations support this (ex. ncftp). ="-i -n" g:netrw_ftpextracmd default: doesn't exist If this variable exists, then any string it contains will be placed into the commands set to your ftp client. As an example: ="passive" g:netrw_ftpmode ="binary" (default) ="ascii" g:netrw_ignorenetrc =0 (default for linux, cygwin) =1 If you have a <.netrc> file but it doesn't work and you want it ignored, then set this variable as shown. (default for Windows + cmd.exe) g:netrw_menu =0 disable netrw's menu =1 (default) netrw's menu enabled g:netrw_nogx if this variable exists, then the "gx" map will not be available (see \|netrw-gx\|) g:netrw_uid (ftp) user-id, retained on a per-vim-session basis s:netrw_passwd (ftp) password, retained on a per-vim-session basis g:netrw_preview =0 (default) preview window shown in a horizontally split window =1 preview window shown in a vertically split window. Also affects the "previous window" (see \|netrw-P\|) in the same way. The \|g:netrw_alto\| variable may be used to provide additional splitting control: g:netrw_preview g:netrw_alto result 0 0 \|:aboveleft\| 0 1 \|:belowright\| 1 0 \|:topleft\| 1 1 \|:botright\| To control sizing, see \|g:netrw_winsize\| g:netrw_scpport = "-P" : option to use to set port for scp g:netrw_sshport = "-p" : option to use to set port for ssh g:netrw_sepchr =\0xff =\0x01 for enc == euc-jp (and perhaps it should be for others, too, please let me know) Separates priority codes from filenames internally. See \|netrw-p12\|. g:netrw_silent =0 : transfers done normally =1 : transfers done silently g:netrw_use_errorwindow =2: messages from netrw will use a popup window Move the mouse and pause to remove the popup window. (default value if popup windows are availble) =1 : messages from netrw will use a separate one line window. This window provides reliable delivery of messages. (default value if popup windows are not availble) =0 : messages from netrw will use echoerr ; messages don't always seem to show up this way, but one doesn't have to quit the window. g:netrw_win95ftp =1 if using Win95, will remove four trailing blank lines that o/s's ftp "provides" on transfers =0 force normal ftp behavior (no trailing line removal) g:netrw_cygwin =1 assume scp under windows is from cygwin. Also permits network browsing to use ls with time and size sorting (default if windows) =0 assume Windows' scp accepts windows-style paths Network browsing uses dir instead of ls This option is ignored if you're using unix g:netrw_use_nt_rcp =0 don't use the rcp of WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP =1 use WinNT's rcp in binary mode (default) PATHS netrw-path {{{2 Paths to files are generally user-directory relative for most protocols. It is possible that some protocol will make paths relative to some associated directory, however. > example: vim scp://user@host/somefile example: vim scp://user@host/subdir1/subdir2/somefile < where "somefile" is in the "user"'s home directory. If you wish to get a file using root-relative paths, use the full path: > example: vim scp://user@host//somefile example: vim scp://user@host//subdir1/subdir2/somefile < ============================================================================== 4. Network-Oriented File Transfer netrw-xfer {{{1 Network-oriented file transfer under Vim is implemented by a vim script (<netrw.vim>) using plugin techniques. It currently supports both reading and writing across networks using rcp, scp, ftp or ftp+<.netrc>, scp, fetch, dav/cadaver, rsync, or sftp. http is currently supported read-only via use of wget or fetch. <netrw.vim> is a standard plugin which acts as glue between Vim and the various file transfer programs. It uses autocommand events (BufReadCmd, FileReadCmd, BufWriteCmd) to intercept reads/writes with url-like filenames. > ex. vim ftp://hostname/path/to/file < The characters preceding the colon specify the protocol to use; in the example, it's ftp. The <netrw.vim> script then formulates a command or a series of commands (typically ftp) which it issues to an external program (ftp, scp, etc) which does the actual file transfer/protocol. Files are read from/written to a temporary file (under Unix/Linux, /tmp/...) which the <netrw.vim> script will clean up. Now, a word about Jan Minář's "FTP User Name and Password Disclosure"; first, ftp is not a secure protocol. User names and passwords are transmitted "in the clear" over the internet; any snooper tool can pick these up; this is not a netrw thing, this is a ftp thing. If you're concerned about this, please try to use scp or sftp instead. Netrw re-uses the user id and password during the same vim session and so long as the remote hostname remains the same. Jan seems to be a bit confused about how netrw handles ftp; normally multiple commands are performed in a "ftp session", and he seems to feel that the uid/password should only be retained over one ftp session. However, netrw does every ftp operation in a separate "ftp session"; so remembering the uid/password for just one "ftp session" would be the same as not remembering the uid/password at all. IMHO this would rapidly grow tiresome as one browsed remote directories, for example. On the other hand, thanks go to Jan M. for pointing out the many vulnerabilities that netrw (and vim itself) had had in handling "crafted" filenames. The \|shellescape()\| and \|fnameescape()\| functions were written in response by Bram Moolenaar to handle these sort of problems, and netrw has been modified to use them. Still, my advice is, if the "filename" looks like a vim command that you aren't comfortable with having executed, don't open it. netrw-putty netrw-pscp netrw-psftp One may modify any protocol's implementing external application by setting a variable (ex. scp uses the variable g:netrw_scp_cmd, which is defaulted to "scp -q"). As an example, consider using PuTTY: > let g:netrw_scp_cmd = '"c:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe" -q -batch' let g:netrw_sftp_cmd= '"c:\Program Files\PuTTY\psftp.exe"' < (note: it has been reported that windows 7 with putty v0.6's "-batch" option doesn't work, so its best to leave it off for that system) See \|netrw-p8\| for more about putty, pscp, psftp, etc. Ftp, an old protocol, seems to be blessed by numerous implementations. Unfortunately, some implementations are noisy (ie., add junk to the end of the file). Thus, concerned users may decide to write a NetReadFixup() function that will clean up after reading with their ftp. Some Unix systems (ie., FreeBSD) provide a utility called "fetch" which uses the ftp protocol but is not noisy and more convenient, actually, for <netrw.vim> to use. Consequently, if "fetch" is available (ie. executable), it may be preferable to use it for ftp://... based transfers. For rcp, scp, sftp, and http, one may use network-oriented file transfers transparently; ie. > vim rcp://[user@]machine/path vim scp://[user@]machine/path < If your ftp supports <.netrc>, then it too can be transparently used if the needed triad of machine name, user id, and password are present in that file. Your ftp must be able to use the <.netrc> file on its own, however. > vim ftp://[user@]machine[[:#]portnumber]/path < Windows provides an ftp (typically c:\Windows\System32\ftp.exe) which uses an option, -s:filename (filename can and probably should be a full path) which contains ftp commands which will be automatically run whenever ftp starts. You may use this feature to enter a user and password for one site: > userid password < netrw-windows-netrc netrw-windows-s If \|g:netrw_ftp_cmd\| contains -s:[path/]MACHINE, then (on Windows machines only) netrw will substitute the current machine name requested for ftp connections for MACHINE. Hence one can have multiple machine.ftp files containing login and password for ftp. Example: > let g:netrw_ftp_cmd= 'c:\Windows\System32\ftp -s:C:\Users\Myself\MACHINE' vim ftp://myhost.somewhere.net/ will use a file > C:\Users\Myself\myhost.ftp < Often, ftp will need to query the user for the userid and password. The latter will be done "silently"; ie. asterisks will show up instead of the actually-typed-in password. Netrw will retain the userid and password for subsequent read/writes from the most recent transfer so subsequent transfers (read/write) to or from that machine will take place without additional prompting. netrw-urls +=================================+============================+============+ \| Reading \| Writing \| Uses \| +=================================+============================+============+ \| DAV: \| \| \| \| dav://host/path \| \| cadaver \| \| :Nread dav://host/path \| :Nwrite dav://host/path \| cadaver \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| DAV + SSL: \| \| \| \| davs://host/path \| \| cadaver \| \| :Nread davs://host/path \| :Nwrite davs://host/path \| cadaver \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| FETCH: \| \| \| \| fetch://[user@]host/path \| \| \| \| fetch://[user@]host:http/path \| Not Available \| fetch \| \| :Nread fetch://[user@]host/path\| \| \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| FILE: \| \| \| \| file:///* \| file:///* \| \| \| file://localhost/* \| file://localhost/* \| \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| FTP: (3) \| (3) \| \| \| ftp://[user@]host/path \| ftp://[user@]host/path \| ftp (2) \| \| :Nread ftp://host/path \| :Nwrite ftp://host/path \| ftp+.netrc \| \| :Nread host path \| :Nwrite host path \| ftp+.netrc \| \| :Nread host uid pass path \| :Nwrite host uid pass path \| ftp \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| HTTP: wget is executable: (4) \| \| \| \| http://[user@]host/path \| Not Available \| wget \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| HTTP: fetch is executable (4) \| \| \| \| http://[user@]host/path \| Not Available \| fetch \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| RCP: \| \| \| \| rcp://[user@]host/path \| rcp://[user@]host/path \| rcp \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| RSYNC: \| \| \| \| rsync://[user@]host/path \| rsync://[user@]host/path \| rsync \| \| :Nread rsync://host/path \| :Nwrite rsync://host/path \| rsync \| \| :Nread rcp://host/path \| :Nwrite rcp://host/path \| rcp \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| SCP: \| \| \| \| scp://[user@]host/path \| scp://[user@]host/path \| scp \| \| :Nread scp://host/path \| :Nwrite scp://host/path \| scp (1) \| +---------------------------------+----------------------------+------------+ \| SFTP: \| \| \| \| sftp://[user@]host/path \| sftp://[user@]host/path \| sftp \| \| :Nread sftp://host/path \| :Nwrite sftp://host/path \| sftp (1) \| +=================================+============================+============+ (1) For an absolute path use scp://machine//path. (2) if <.netrc> is present, it is assumed that it will work with your ftp client. Otherwise the script will prompt for user-id and password. (3) for ftp, "machine" may be machine#port or machine:port if a different port is needed than the standard ftp port (4) for http:..., if wget is available it will be used. Otherwise, if fetch is available it will be used. Both the :Nread and the :Nwrite ex-commands can accept multiple filenames. NETRC netrw-netrc* The <.netrc> file, typically located in your home directory, contains lines therein which map a hostname (machine name) to the user id and password you prefer to use with it. The typical syntax for lines in a <.netrc> file is given as shown below. Ftp under Unix usually supports <.netrc>; ftp under Windows usually doesn't. > machine {full machine name} login {user-id} password "{password}" default login {user-id} password "{password}" Your ftp client must handle the use of <.netrc> on its own, but if the <.netrc> file exists, an ftp transfer will not ask for the user-id or password. Note: Since this file contains passwords, make very sure nobody else can read this file! Most programs will refuse to use a .netrc that is readable for others. Don't forget that the system administrator can still read the file! Ie. for Linux/Unix: chmod 600 .netrc Even though Windows' ftp clients typically do not support .netrc, netrw has a work-around: see \|netrw-windows-s\|. PASSWORD netrw-passwd The script attempts to get passwords for ftp invisibly using \|inputsecret()\|, a built-in Vim function. See \|netrw-userpass\| for how to change the password after one has set it. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way for netrw to feed a password to scp. Thus every transfer via scp will require re-entry of the password. However, \|netrw-ssh-hack\| can help with this problem. ============================================================================== 5. Activation netrw-activate {{{1 Network-oriented file transfers are available by default whenever Vim's \|'nocompatible'\| mode is enabled. Netrw's script files reside in your system's plugin, autoload, and syntax directories; just the plugin/netrwPlugin.vim script is sourced automatically whenever you bring up vim. The main script in autoload/netrw.vim is only loaded when you actually use netrw. I suggest that, at a minimum, you have at least the following in your <.vimrc> customization file: > set nocp if version >= 600 filetype plugin indent on endif < By also including the following lines in your .vimrc, one may have netrw immediately activate when using [g]vim without any filenames, showing the current directory: > " Augroup VimStartup: augroup VimStartup au! au VimEnter * if expand("%") == "" \| e . \| endif augroup END < ============================================================================== 6. Transparent Remote File Editing netrw-transparent {{{1 Transparent file transfers occur whenever a regular file read or write (invoked via an \|:autocmd\| for \|BufReadCmd\|, \|BufWriteCmd\|, or \|SourceCmd\| events) is made. Thus one may read, write, or source files across networks just as easily as if they were local files! > vim ftp://[user@]machine/path ... :wq See \|netrw-activate\| for more on how to encourage your vim to use plugins such as netrw. For password-free use of scp:, see \|netrw-ssh-hack\|. ============================================================================== 7. Ex Commands netrw-ex {{{1 The usual read/write commands are supported. There are also a few additional commands available. Often you won't need to use Nwrite or Nread as shown in \|netrw-transparent\| (ie. simply use > :e URL :r URL :w URL instead, as appropriate) -- see \|netrw-urls\|. In the explanations below, a {netfile} is a URL to a remote file. :Nwrite :Nw :[range]Nw[rite] Write the specified lines to the current file as specified in b:netrw_lastfile. (related: \|netrw-nwrite\|) :[range]Nw[rite] {netfile} [{netfile}]... Write the specified lines to the {netfile}. :Nread :Nr :Nr[ead] Read the lines from the file specified in b:netrw_lastfile into the current buffer. (related: \|netrw-nread\|) :Nr[ead] {netfile} {netfile}... Read the {netfile} after the current line. :Nsource :Ns :Ns[ource] {netfile} Source the {netfile}. To start up vim using a remote .vimrc, one may use the following (all on one line) (tnx to Antoine Mechelynck) > vim -u NORC -N --cmd "runtime plugin/netrwPlugin.vim" --cmd "source scp://HOSTNAME/.vimrc" < (related: \|netrw-source\|) :call NetUserPass() NetUserPass() If g:netrw_uid and s:netrw_passwd don't exist, this function will query the user for them. (related: \|netrw-userpass\|) :call NetUserPass("userid") This call will set the g:netrw_uid and, if the password doesn't exist, will query the user for it. (related: \|netrw-userpass\|) :call NetUserPass("userid","passwd") This call will set both the g:netrw_uid and s:netrw_passwd. The user-id and password are used by ftp transfers. One may effectively remove the user-id and password by using empty strings (ie. ""). (related: \|netrw-userpass\|) :NetrwSettings This command is described in \|netrw-settings\| -- used to display netrw settings and change netrw behavior. ============================================================================== 8. Variables and Options netrw-var netrw-settings {{{1 (also see: \|netrw-options\| \|netrw-variables\| \|netrw-protocol\| \|netrw-browser-settings\| \|netrw-browser-options\| ) The <netrw.vim> script provides several variables which act as options to affect <netrw.vim>'s file transfer behavior. These variables typically may be set in the user's <.vimrc> file: (see also \|netrw-settings\| \|netrw-protocol\|) netrw-options > ------------- Netrw Options ------------- Option Meaning -------------- ----------------------------------------------- < b:netrw_col Holds current cursor position (during NetWrite) g:netrw_cygwin =1 assume scp under windows is from cygwin (default/windows) =0 assume scp under windows accepts windows style paths (default/else) g:netrw_ftp =0 use default ftp (uid password) g:netrw_ftpmode ="binary" (default) ="ascii" (your choice) g:netrw_ignorenetrc =1 (default) if you have a <.netrc> file but you don't want it used, then set this variable. Its mere existence is enough to cause <.netrc> to be ignored. b:netrw_lastfile Holds latest method/machine/path. b:netrw_line Holds current line number (during NetWrite) g:netrw_silent =0 transfers done normally =1 transfers done silently g:netrw_uid Holds current user-id for ftp. g:netrw_use_nt_rcp =0 don't use WinNT/2K/XP's rcp (default) =1 use WinNT/2K/XP's rcp, binary mode g:netrw_win95ftp =0 use unix-style ftp even if win95/98/ME/etc =1 use default method to do ftp > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- < netrw-internal-variables The script will also make use of the following variables internally, albeit temporarily. > ------------------- Temporary Variables ------------------- Variable Meaning -------- ------------------------------------ < b:netrw_method Index indicating rcp/ftp+.netrc/ftp w:netrw_method (same as b:netrw_method) g:netrw_machine Holds machine name parsed from input b:netrw_fname Holds filename being accessed > ------------------------------------------------------------ < netrw-protocol Netrw supports a number of protocols.

They may include command line options (such as -p for passive mode). Example: > let g:netrw_ftp_cmd= "ftp -p" < Browsing is supported by using the \|g:netrw_list_cmd\|; the substring "HOSTNAME" will be changed via substitution with whatever the current request is for a hostname. Two options (\|g:netrw_ftp\| and \|netrw-fixup\|) both help with certain ftp's that give trouble . In order to best understand how to use these options if ftp is giving you troubles, a bit of discussion is provided on how netrw does ftp reads. For ftp, netrw typically builds up lines of one of the following formats in a temporary file: > IF g:netrw_ftp !exists or is not 1 IF g:netrw_ftp exists and is 1 ---------------------------------- ------------------------------ < open machine [port] open machine [port] user userid password userid password [g:netrw_ftpmode] password [g:netrw_ftpextracmd] [g:netrw_ftpmode] get filename tempfile [g:netrw_extracmd] get filename tempfile > --------------------------------------------------------------------- < The \|g:netrw_ftpmode\| and \|g:netrw_ftpextracmd\| are optional. Netrw then executes the lines above by use of a filter: > :%! {g:netrw_ftp_cmd} -i [-n] < where g:netrw_ftp_cmd is usually "ftp", -i tells ftp not to be interactive -n means don't use netrc and is used for Method #3 (ftp w/o <.netrc>) If <.netrc> exists it will be used to avoid having to query the user for userid and password. The transferred file is put into a temporary file. The temporary file is then read into the main editing session window that requested it and the temporary file deleted. If your ftp doesn't accept the "user" command and immediately just demands a userid, then try putting "let netrw_ftp=1" in your <.vimrc>. netrw-cadaver To handle the SSL certificate dialog for untrusted servers, one may pull down the certificate and place it into /usr/ssl/cert.pem. This operation renders the server treatment as "trusted". netrw-fixup netreadfixup If your ftp for whatever reason generates unwanted lines (such as AUTH messages) you may write a NetReadFixup() function: > function! NetReadFixup(method,line1,line2) " a:line1: first new line in current file " a:line2: last new line in current file if a:method == 1 "rcp elseif a:method == 2 "ftp + <.netrc> elseif a:method == 3 "ftp + machine,uid,password,filename elseif a:method == 4 "scp elseif a:method == 5 "http/wget elseif a:method == 6 "dav/cadaver elseif a:method == 7 "rsync elseif a:method == 8 "fetch elseif a:method == 9 "sftp else " complain endif endfunction > The NetReadFixup() function will be called if it exists and thus allows you to customize your reading process. As a further example, <netrw.vim> contains just such a function to handle Windows 95 ftp. For whatever reason, Windows 95's ftp dumps four blank lines at the end of a transfer, and so it is desirable to automate their removal. Here's some code taken from <netrw.vim> itself: > if has("win95") && g:netrw_win95ftp fun! NetReadFixup(method, line1, line2) if method == 3 " ftp (no <.netrc>) let fourblanklines= line2 - 3 silent fourblanklines.",".line2."g/^\s/d" endif endfunction endif > (Related topics: \|ftp\| \|netrw-userpass\| \|netrw-start\|) ============================================================================== 9. Browsing netrw-browsing* netrw-browse netrw-help {{{1 netrw-browser netrw-dir netrw-list INTRODUCTION TO BROWSING netrw-intro-browse {{{2 (Quick References: \|netrw-quickmaps\| \|netrw-quickcoms\|) Netrw supports the browsing of directories on your local system and on remote hosts; browsing includes listing files and directories, entering directories, editing files therein, deleting files/directories, making new directories, moving (renaming) files and directories, copying files and directories, etc. One may mark files and execute any system command on them! The Netrw browser generally implements the previous explorer's maps and commands for remote directories, although details (such as pertinent global variable names) necessarily differ. To browse a directory, simply "edit" it! > vim /your/directory/ vim . vim c:\your\directory\ < (Related topics: \|netrw-cr\| \|netrw-o\| \|netrw-p\| \|netrw-P\| \|netrw-t\| \|netrw-mf\| \|netrw-mx\| \|netrw-D\| \|netrw-R\| \|netrw-v\| ) The Netrw remote file and directory browser handles two protocols: ssh and ftp. The protocol in the url, if it is ftp, will cause netrw also to use ftp in its remote browsing. Specifying any other protocol will cause it to be used for file transfers; but the ssh protocol will be used to do remote browsing. To use Netrw's remote directory browser, simply attempt to read a "file" with a trailing slash and it will be interpreted as a request to list a directory: > vim [protocol]://[user@]hostname/path/ < where [protocol] is typically scp or ftp. As an example, try: > vim ftp://ftp.home.vim.org/pub/vim/ < For local directories, the trailing slash is not required. Again, because it's easy to miss: to browse remote directories, the URL must terminate with a slash! If you'd like to avoid entering the password repeatedly for remote directory listings with ssh or scp, see \|netrw-ssh-hack\|. To avoid password entry with ftp, see \|netrw-netrc\| (if your ftp supports it). There are several things you can do to affect the browser's display of files: * To change the listing style, press the "i" key (\|netrw-i\|). Currently there are four styles: thin, long, wide, and tree. To make that change "permanent", see \|g:netrw_liststyle\|. * To hide files (don't want to see those xyz~ files anymore?) see \|netrw-ctrl-h\|. * Press s to sort files by name, time, or size. See \|netrw-browse-cmds\| for all the things you can do with netrw! netrw-getftype netrw-filigree netrw-ftype The \|getftype()\| function is used to append a bit of filigree to indicate filetype to locally listed files: directory : / executable : * fifo : \| links : @ sockets : = The filigree also affects the \|g:netrw_sort_sequence\|.

Hitting the <cr> (the return key) will select the file or directory. Directories will themselves be listed, and files will be opened using the protocol given in the original read request. CAVEAT: There are four forms of listing (see \|netrw-i\|). Netrw assumes that two or more spaces delimit filenames and directory names for the long and wide listing formats. Thus, if your filename or directory name has two or more sequential spaces embedded in it, or any trailing spaces, then you'll need to use the "thin" format to select it. The \|g:netrw_browse_split\| option, which is zero by default, may be used to cause the opening of files to be done in a new window or tab instead of the default. When the option is one or two, the splitting will be taken horizontally or vertically, respectively. When the option is set to three, a <cr> will cause the file to appear in a new tab. When using the gui (gvim), one may select a file by pressing the <leftmouse> button. In addition, if * \|g:netrw_retmap\| == 1 AND (its default value is 0) * in a netrw-selected file, AND * the user doesn't already have a <2-leftmouse> mapping defined before netrw is loaded then a doubly-clicked leftmouse button will return to the netrw browser window. Netrw attempts to speed up browsing, especially for remote browsing where one may have to enter passwords, by keeping and re-using previously obtained directory listing buffers. The \|g:netrw_fastbrowse\| variable is used to control this behavior; one may have slow browsing (no buffer re-use), medium speed browsing (re-use directory buffer listings only for remote directories), and fast browsing (re-use directory buffer listings as often as possible). The price for such re-use is that when changes are made (such as new files are introduced into a directory), the listing may become out-of-date. One may always refresh directory listing buffers by pressing ctrl-L (see \|netrw-ctrl-l\|). netrw-s-cr Squeezing the Current Tree-Listing Directory~ When the tree listing style is enabled (see \|netrw-i\|) and one is using gvim, then the <s-cr> mapping may be used to squeeze (close) the directory currently containing the cursor. Otherwise, one may remap a key combination of one's own choice to get this effect: > nmap <buffer> <silent> <nowait> YOURKEYCOMBO <Plug>NetrwTreeSqueeze < Put this line in $HOME/ftplugin/netrw/netrw.vim; it needs to be generated for netrw buffers only.

However, the "o" map allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file. A horizontal split is used.

However, the "v" map allows one to open a new window to hold the new directory listing or file. A vertical split is used. (for horizontal splitting, see \|netrw-o\|) Normally, the v key splits the window vertically with the new window and cursor at the left. There is only one tree listing buffer; using "v" on a displayed subdirectory will split the screen, but the same buffer will be shown twice.

Use the <c-r> map on a file (not a directory) in the netrw browser, and it will use a gvim server (see \|g:netrw_servername\|). Subsequent use of <cr> (see \|netrw-cr\|) will re-use that server for editing files.

The thin listing format gives just the files' and directories' names. The long listing is either based on the "ls" command via ssh for remote directories or displays the filename, file size (in bytes), and the time and date of last modification for local directories. With the long listing format, netrw is not able to recognize filenames which have trailing spaces. Use the thin listing format for such files. The wide listing format uses two or more contiguous spaces to delineate filenames; when using that format, netrw won't be able to recognize or use filenames which have two or more contiguous spaces embedded in the name or any trailing spaces. The thin listing format will, however, work with such files. The wide listing format is the most compact. The tree listing format has a top directory followed by files and directories preceded by one or more "\|"s, which indicate the directory depth. One may open and close directories by pressing the <cr> key while atop the directory name. One may make a preferred listing style your default; see \|g:netrw_liststyle\|. As an example, by putting the following line in your .vimrc, > let g:netrw_liststyle= 3 the tree style will become your default listing style. One typical way to use the netrw tree display is to: > vim . (use i until a tree display shows) navigate to a file v (edit as desired in vertically split window) ctrl-w h (to return to the netrw listing) P (edit newly selected file in the previous window) ctrl-w h (to return to the netrw listing) P (edit newly selected file in the previous window) ...etc... < Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_liststyle\| \|g:netrw_maxfilenamelen\| \|g:netrw_timefmt\| \|g:netrw_list_cmd\| CHANGE FILE PERMISSION netrw-gp {{{2 "gp" will ask you for a new permission for the file named under the cursor. Currently, this only works for local files. Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_chgperm\| CHANGING TO A BOOKMARKED DIRECTORY netrw-gb {{{2 To change directory back to a bookmarked directory, use {cnt}gb Any count may be used to reference any of the bookmarks. Note that \|netrw-qb\| shows both bookmarks and history; to go to a location stored in the history see \|netrw-u\| and \|netrw-U\|. Related Topics: \|netrw-mB\| how to delete bookmarks \|netrw-mb\| how to make a bookmark \|netrw-qb\| how to list bookmarks CHANGING TO A PREDECESSOR DIRECTORY netrw-u netrw-updir {{{2 Every time you change to a new directory (new for the current session), netrw will save the directory in a recently-visited directory history list (unless \|g:netrw_dirhistmax\| is zero; by default, it holds ten entries). With the "u" map, one can change to an earlier directory (predecessor). To do the opposite, see \|netrw-U\|. The "u" map also accepts counts to go back in the history several slots. For your convenience, qb (see \|netrw-qb\|) lists the history number which may be used in that count. .netrwhist See \|g:netrw_dirhistmax\| for how to control the quantity of history stack slots. The file ".netrwhist" holds history when netrw (and vim) is not active. By default, its stored on the first directory on the user's \|'runtimepath'\|. Related Topics: \|netrw-U\| changing to a successor directory \|g:netrw_home\| controls where .netrwhist is kept CHANGING TO A SUCCESSOR DIRECTORY netrw-U netrw-downdir {{{2 With the "U" map, one can change to a later directory (successor). This map is the opposite of the "u" map. (see \|netrw-u\|) Use the qb map to list both the bookmarks and history. (see \|netrw-qb\|) The "U" map also accepts counts to go forward in the history several slots. See \|g:netrw_dirhistmax\| for how to control the quantity of history stack slots. CHANGING TREE TOP netrw-ntree :Ntree netrw-gn {{{2 One may specify a new tree top for tree listings using > :Ntree [dirname] Without a "dirname", the current line is used (and any leading depth information is elided). With a "dirname", the specified directory name is used. The "gn" map will take the word below the cursor and use that for changing the top of the tree listing. NETRW CLEAN netrw-clean :NetrwClean {{{2 With :NetrwClean one may easily remove netrw from one's home directory; more precisely, from the first directory on your \|'runtimepath'\|. With :NetrwClean!, netrw will attempt to remove netrw from all directories on your \|'runtimepath'\|. Of course, you have to have write/delete permissions correct to do this. With either form of the command, netrw will first ask for confirmation that the removal is in fact what you want to do. If netrw doesn't have permission to remove a file, it will issue an error message. netrw-gx CUSTOMIZING BROWSING WITH A SPECIAL HANDLER netrw-x netrw-handler {{{2 (also see \|netrw_filehandler\|) Certain files, such as html, gif, jpeg, (word/office) doc, etc, files, are best seen with a special handler (ie. a tool provided with your computer's operating system). Netrw allows one to invoke such special handlers by: > * when Exploring, hit the "x" key * when editing, hit gx with the cursor atop the special filename < (latter not available if the \|g:netrw_nogx\| variable exists) Netrw determines which special handler by the following method: * if \|g:netrw_browsex_viewer\| exists, then it will be used to attempt to view files. Examples of useful settings (place into your <.vimrc>): > :let g:netrw_browsex_viewer= "kfmclient exec" < or > :let g:netrw_browsex_viewer= "xdg-open" < If g:netrw_browsex_viewer == '-', then netrwFileHandlers#Invoke() will be used instead (see \|netrw_filehandler\|). * for Windows 32 or 64, the URL and FileProtocolHandler dlls are used. * for Gnome (with gnome-open): gnome-open is used. * for KDE (with kfmclient) : kfmclient is used * for Mac OS X : open is used. * otherwise the netrwFileHandler plugin is used. The file's suffix is used by these various approaches to determine an appropriate application to use to "handle" these files. Such things as OpenOffice (.sfx), visualization (.jpg, .gif, etc), and PostScript (.ps, .eps) can be handled. The gx mapping extends to all buffers; apply "gx" while atop a word and netrw will apply a special handler to it (like "x" works when in a netrw buffer). One may also use visual mode (see \|visual-start\|) to select the text that the special handler will use. Normally gx uses expand("<cfile>") to pick up the text under the cursor; one may change what \|expand()\| uses via the \|g:netrw_gx\| variable (options include "<cword>", "<cWORD>"). Note that expand("<cfile>") depends on the \|'isfname'\| setting. Alternatively, one may select the text to be used by gx by making a visual selection (see \|visual-block\|) and then pressing gx. Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_gx\| control how gx picks up the text under the cursor \|g:netrw_nogx\| prevent gx map while editing \|g:netrw_suppress_gx_mesg\| controls gx's suppression of browser messages netrw_filehandler* When \|g:netrw_browsex_viewer\| exists and is "-", then netrw will attempt to handle the special file with a vim function. The "x" map applies a function to a file, based on its extension. Of course, the handler function must exist for it to be called! > Ex. mypgm.html x -> NFH_html("scp://user@host/some/path/mypgm.html") < Users may write their own netrw File Handler functions to support more suffixes with special handling. See <autoload/netrwFileHandlers.vim> for examples on how to make file handler functions. As an example: > " NFH_suffix(filename) fun! NFH_suffix(filename) ..do something special with filename.. endfun < These functions need to be defined in some file in your .vim/plugin (vimfiles\plugin) directory. Vim's function names may not have punctuation characters (except for the underscore) in them. To support suffices that contain such characters, netrw will first convert the suffix using the following table: > @ -> AT ! -> EXCLAMATION % -> PERCENT : -> COLON = -> EQUAL ? -> QUESTION , -> COMMA - -> MINUS ; -> SEMICOLON $ -> DOLLAR + -> PLUS ~ -> TILDE < So, for example: > file.rcs,v -> NFH_rcsCOMMAv() < If more such translations are necessary, please send me email: > NcampObell@SdrPchip.AorgM-NOSPAM with a request. (remove the embedded NOSPAM first) Associated setting variable: \|g:netrw_browsex_viewer\| netrw-curdir DELETING BOOKMARKS netrw-mB {{{2 To delete a bookmark, use > {cnt}mB If there are marked files, then mB will remove them from the bookmark list. Alternatively, one may use :NetrwMB! (see \|netrw-:NetrwMB\|). > :NetrwMB! [files/directories] Related Topics: \|netrw-gb\| how to return (go) to a bookmark \|netrw-mb\| how to make a bookmark \|netrw-qb\| how to list bookmarks DELETING FILES OR DIRECTORIES netrw-delete netrw-D netrw-del {{{2 If files have not been marked with \|netrw-mf\|: (local marked file list) Deleting/removing files and directories involves moving the cursor to the file/directory to be deleted and pressing "D". Directories must be empty first before they can be successfully removed. If the directory is a softlink to a directory, then netrw will make two requests to remove the directory before succeeding. Netrw will ask for confirmation before doing the removal(s). You may select a range of lines with the "V" command (visual selection), and then pressing "D". If files have been marked with \|netrw-mf\|: (local marked file list) Marked files (and empty directories) will be deleted; again, you'll be asked to confirm the deletion before it actually takes place. A further approach is to delete files which match a pattern. * use :MF pattern (see \|netrw-:MF\|); then press "D". * use mr (see \|netrw-mr\|) which will prompt you for pattern. This will cause the matching files to be marked. Then, press "D". If your vim has 7.4 with patch#1107, then \|g:netrw_localrmdir\| no longer is used to remove directories; instead, vim's \|delete()\| is used with the "d" option. Please note that only empty directories may be deleted with the "D" mapping. Regular files are deleted with \|delete()\|, too. The \|g:netrw_rm_cmd\|, \|g:netrw_rmf_cmd\|, and \|g:netrw_rmdir_cmd\| variables are used to control the attempts to remove remote files and directories. The g:netrw_rm_cmd is used with files, and its default value is: g:netrw_rm_cmd: ssh HOSTNAME rm The g:netrw_rmdir_cmd variable is used to support the removal of directories. Its default value is: \|g:netrw_rmdir_cmd\|: ssh HOSTNAME rmdir If removing a directory fails with g:netrw_rmdir_cmd, netrw then will attempt to remove it again using the g:netrw_rmf_cmd variable.

Return to/from Explorer :Rexplore Used with :Explore */pattern : (also see \|netrw-starstar\|) :Nexplore............. go to next matching file :Nexplore* :Pexplore............. go to previous matching file :Pexplore netrw-:Explore :Explore will open the local-directory browser on the current file's directory (or on directory [dir] if specified). The window will be split only if the file has been modified and \|'hidden'\| is not set, otherwise the browsing window will take over that window. Normally the splitting is taken horizontally. Also see: \|netrw-:Rexplore\| :Explore! is like :Explore, but will use vertical splitting. netrw-:Hexplore :Hexplore [dir] does an :Explore with \|:belowright\| horizontal splitting. :Hexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with \|:aboveleft\| horizontal splitting. netrw-:Lexplore :[N]Lexplore [dir] toggles a full height Explorer window on the left hand side of the current tab. It will open a netrw window on the current directory if [dir] is omitted; a :Lexplore [dir] will show the specified directory in the left-hand side browser display no matter from which window the command is issued. By default, :Lexplore will change an uninitialized \|g:netrw_chgwin\| to 2; edits will thus preferentially be made in window#2. The [N] specifies a \|g:netrw_winsize\| just for the new :Lexplore window. Those who like this method often also like tree style displays; see \|g:netrw_liststyle\|. :[N]Lexplore! [dir] is similar to :Lexplore, except that the full-height Explorer window will open on the right hand side and an uninitialized \|g:netrw_chgwin\| will be set to 1 (eg. edits will preferentially occur in the leftmost window).

As with Explore, the splitting is normally done horizontally. :[N]Sexplore! [dir] is like :Sexplore, but the splitting will be done vertically. netrw-:Texplore :Texplore [dir] does a \|:tabnew\| before generating the browser window netrw-:Vexplore :[N]Vexplore [dir] does an :Explore with \|:leftabove\| vertical splitting. :[N]Vexplore! [dir] does an :Explore with \|:rightbelow\| vertical splitting. The optional parameters are: [N]: This parameter will override \|g:netrw_winsize\| to specify the quantity of rows and/or columns the new explorer window should have. Otherwise, the \|g:netrw_winsize\| variable, if it has been specified by the user, is used to control the quantity of rows and/or columns new explorer windows should have. [dir]: By default, these explorer commands use the current file's directory. However, one may explicitly provide a directory (path) to use instead; ie. > :Explore /some/path < netrw-:Rexplore :Rexplore This command is a little different from the other Explore commands as it doesn't necessarily open an Explorer window. Return to Explorer~ When one edits a file using netrw which can occur, for example, when pressing <cr> while the cursor is atop a filename in a netrw browser window, a :Rexplore issued while editing that file will return the display to that of the last netrw browser display in that window. Return from Explorer~ Conversely, when one is editing a directory, issuing a :Rexplore will return to editing the file that was last edited in that window. The <2-leftmouse> map (which is only available under gvim and cooperative terms) does the same as :Rexplore.

These exploration patterns will not work with remote file browsing. /filepat files in current directory which satisfy filepat /filepat files in current directory or below which satisfy the file pattern //pattern files in the current directory which contain the pattern (vimgrep is used) *//pattern files in the current directory or below which contain the pattern (vimgrep is used) < The cursor will be placed on the first file in the list. One may then continue to go to subsequent files on that list via \|:Nexplore\| or to preceding files on that list with \|:Pexplore\|. Explore will update the directory and place the cursor appropriately. A plain > :Explore will clear the explore list. If your console or gui produces recognizable shift-up or shift-down sequences, then you'll likely find using shift-downarrow and shift-uparrow convenient. They're mapped by netrw as follows: <s-down> == Nexplore, and <s-up> == Pexplore. As an example, consider > :Explore /.c :Nexplore :Nexplore :Pexplore < The status line will show, on the right hand side of the status line, a message like "Match 3 of 20".

EDIT FILE OR DIRECTORY HIDING LIST netrw-ctrl-h netrw-edithide {{{2 The "<ctrl-h>" map brings up a requestor allowing the user to change the file/directory hiding list contained in \|g:netrw_list_hide\|. The hiding list consists of one or more patterns delimited by commas. Files and/or directories satisfying these patterns will either be hidden (ie. not shown) or be the only ones displayed (see \|netrw-a\|). The "gh" mapping (see \|netrw-gh\|) quickly alternates between the usual hiding list and the hiding of files or directories that begin with ".". As an example, > let g:netrw_list_hide= '$^\\|\s\s$\zs\.\S\+' Effectively, this makes the effect of a \|netrw-gh\| command the initial setting. What it means: $^\\|\s\s$ : if the line begins with the following, -or- two consecutive spaces are encountered \zs : start the hiding match now \. : if it now begins with a dot \S\+ : and is followed by one or more non-whitespace characters Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_hide\| \|g:netrw_list_hide\| Associated topics: \|netrw-a\| \|netrw-gh\| \|netrw-mh\| netrw-sort-sequence EDITING THE SORTING SEQUENCE netrw-S netrw-sortsequence {{{2 When "Sorted by" is name, one may specify priority via the sorting sequence (g:netrw_sort_sequence). The sorting sequence typically prioritizes the name-listing by suffix, although any pattern will do. Patterns are delimited by commas. The default sorting sequence is (all one line): For Unix: > '[\/]$,\<core\%(\.\d\+\)\=,\.[a-np-z]$,\.h$,\.c$,\.cpp$,,\.o$,\.obj$, \.info$,\.swp$,\.bak$,\~$' < Otherwise: > '[\/]$,\.[a-np-z]$,\.h$,\.c$,\.cpp$,,\.o$,\.obj$,\.info$, \.swp$,\.bak$,\~$' < The lone * is where all filenames not covered by one of the other patterns will end up. One may change the sorting sequence by modifying the g:netrw_sort_sequence variable (either manually or in your <.vimrc>) or by using the "S" map. Related topics: \|netrw-s\| \|netrw-S\| Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_sort_sequence\| \|g:netrw_sort_options\| EXECUTING FILE UNDER CURSOR VIA SYSTEM() netrw-X {{{2 Pressing X while the cursor is atop an executable file will yield a prompt using the filename asking for any arguments. Upon pressing a [return], netrw will then call \|system()\| with that command and arguments. The result will be displayed by \|:echomsg\|, and so \|:messages\| will repeat display of the result. Ansi escape sequences will be stripped out. See \|cmdline-window\| for directions for more on how to edit the arguments. FORCING TREATMENT AS A FILE OR DIRECTORY netrw-gd netrw-gf {{{2 Remote symbolic links (ie. those listed via ssh or ftp) are problematic in that it is difficult to tell whether they link to a file or to a directory. To force treatment as a file: use > gf < To force treatment as a directory: use > gd < GOING UP netrw-- {{{2 To go up a directory, press "-" or press the <cr> when atop the ../ directory entry in the listing. Netrw will use the command in \|g:netrw_list_cmd\| to perform the directory listing operation after changing HOSTNAME to the host specified by the user-prpvided url. By default netrw provides the command as: > ssh HOSTNAME ls -FLa < where the HOSTNAME becomes the [user@]hostname as requested by the attempt to read. Naturally, the user may override this command with whatever is preferred. The NetList function which implements remote browsing expects that directories will be flagged by a trailing slash. HIDING FILES OR DIRECTORIES netrw-a netrw-hiding {{{2 Netrw's browsing facility allows one to use the hiding list in one of three ways: ignore it, hide files which match, and show only those files which match. If no files have been marked via \|netrw-mf\|: The "a" map allows the user to cycle through the three hiding modes. The \|g:netrw_list_hide\| variable holds a comma delimited list of patterns based on regular expressions (ex. ^.\.obj$,^\.) which specify the hiding list. (also see \|netrw-ctrl-h\|) To set the hiding list, use the <c-h> map. As an example, to hide files which begin with a ".", one may use the <c-h> map to set the hiding list to '^\..' (or one may put let g:netrw_list_hide= '^\..' in one's <.vimrc>). One may then use the "a" key to show all files, hide matching files, or to show only the matching files. Example: \.[ch]$ This hiding list command will hide/show all .c and .h files. Example: \.c$,\.h$ This hiding list command will also hide/show all .c and .h files. Don't forget to use the "a" map to select the mode (normal/hiding/show) you want! If files have been marked using \|netrw-mf\|, then this command will: if showing all files or non-hidden files: modify the g:netrw_list_hide list by appending the marked files to it and showing only non-hidden files. else if showing hidden files only: modify the g:netrw_list_hide list by removing the marked files from it and showing only non-hidden files. endif netrw-gh* netrw-hide As a quick shortcut, one may press > gh to toggle between hiding files which begin with a period (dot) and not hiding them. Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_list_hide\| \|g:netrw_hide\| Associated topics: \|netrw-a\| \|netrw-ctrl-h\| \|netrw-mh\| netrw-gitignore Netrw provides a helper function 'netrw_gitignore#Hide()' that, when used with \|g:netrw_list_hide\| automatically hides all git-ignored files. 'netrw_gitignore#Hide' searches for patterns in the following files: > './.gitignore' './.git/info/exclude' global gitignore file: `git config --global core.excludesfile` system gitignore file: `git config --system core.excludesfile` < Files that do not exist, are ignored. Git-ignore patterns are taken from existing files, and converted to patterns for hiding files. For example, if you had '.log' in your '.gitignore' file, it would be converted to '.\.log'. To use this function, simply assign its output to \|g:netrw_list_hide\| option. > Example: let g:netrw_list_hide= netrw_gitignore#Hide() Git-ignored files are hidden in Netrw. Example: let g:netrw_list_hide= netrw_gitignore#Hide('my_gitignore_file') Function can take additional files with git-ignore patterns. Example: g:netrw_list_hide= netrw_gitignore#Hide() . '.\.swp$' Combining 'netrw_gitignore#Hide' with custom patterns. < IMPROVING BROWSING netrw-listhack* netrw-ssh-hack {{{2 Especially with the remote directory browser, constantly entering the password is tedious. For Linux/Unix systems, the book "Linux Server Hacks - 100 industrial strength tips & tools" by Rob Flickenger (O'Reilly, ISBN 0-596-00461-3) gives a tip for setting up no-password ssh and scp and discusses associated security issues. It used to be available at http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/66 , but apparently that address is now being redirected to some "hackzine". I'll attempt a summary based on that article and on a communication from Ben Schmidt: 1. Generate a public/private key pair on the local machine (ssh client): > ssh-keygen -t rsa (saving the file in ~/.ssh/id_rsa as prompted) < 2. Just hit the <CR> when asked for passphrase (twice) for no passphrase. If you do use a passphrase, you will also need to use ssh-agent so you only have to type the passphrase once per session. If you don't use a passphrase, simply logging onto your local computer or getting access to the keyfile in any way will suffice to access any ssh servers which have that key authorized for login. 3. This creates two files: > ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub < 4. On the target machine (ssh server): > cd mkdir -p .ssh chmod 0700 .ssh < 5. On your local machine (ssh client): (one line) > ssh {serverhostname} cat '>>' '~/.ssh/authorized_keys2' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub < or, for OpenSSH, (one line) > ssh {serverhostname} cat '>>' '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub < You can test it out with > ssh {serverhostname} and you should be log onto the server machine without further need to type anything. If you decided to use a passphrase, do: > ssh-agent $SHELL ssh-add ssh {serverhostname} You will be prompted for your key passphrase when you use ssh-add, but not subsequently when you use ssh. For use with vim, you can use > ssh-agent vim and, when next within vim, use > :!ssh-add Alternatively, you can apply ssh-agent to the terminal you're planning on running vim in: > ssh-agent xterm & and do ssh-add whenever you need. For Windows, folks on the vim mailing list have mentioned that Pageant helps with avoiding the constant need to enter the password. Kingston Fung wrote about another way to avoid constantly needing to enter passwords: In order to avoid the need to type in the password for scp each time, you provide a hack in the docs to set up a non password ssh account. I found a better way to do that: I can use a regular ssh account which uses a password to access the material without the need to key-in the password each time. It's good for security and convenience. I tried ssh public key authorization + ssh-agent, implementing this, and it works!

Related Topics: \|netrw-gb\| how to return (go) to a bookmark \|netrw-mb\| how to make a bookmark \|netrw-mB\| how to delete bookmarks \|netrw-u\| change to a predecessor directory via the history stack \|netrw-U\| change to a successor directory via the history stack MAKING A NEW DIRECTORY netrw-d {{{2 With the "d" map one may make a new directory either remotely (which depends on the global variable g:netrw_mkdir_cmd) or locally (which depends on the global variable g:netrw_localmkdir). Netrw will issue a request for the new directory's name. A bare <CR> at that point will abort the making of the directory. Attempts to make a local directory that already exists (as either a file or a directory) will be detected, reported on, and ignored. Related topics: \|netrw-D\| Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_localmkdir\| \|g:netrw_mkdir_cmd\| \|g:netrw_remote_mkdir\| \|netrw-%\| MAKING THE BROWSING DIRECTORY THE CURRENT DIRECTORY netrw-cd {{{2 By default, \|g:netrw_keepdir\| is 1. This setting means that the current directory will not track the browsing directory. (done for backwards compatibility with v6's file explorer). Setting g:netrw_keepdir to 0 tells netrw to make vim's current directory track netrw's browsing directory. However, given the default setting for g:netrw_keepdir of 1 where netrw maintains its own separate notion of the current directory, in order to make the two directories the same, use the "cd" map (type cd). That map will set Vim's notion of the current directory to netrw's current browsing directory. \|netrw-cd\|: This map's name was changed from "c" to cd (see \|netrw-cd\|). This change was done to allow for \|netrw-cb\| and \|netrw-cB\| maps. Associated setting variable: \|g:netrw_keepdir\| MARKING FILES netrw-:MF netrw-mf {{{2 (also see \|netrw-mr\|) Netrw provides several ways to mark files: * One may mark files with the cursor atop a filename and then pressing "mf". * With gvim, in addition one may mark files with <s-leftmouse>. (see \|netrw-mouse\|) * One may use the :MF command, which takes a list of files (for local directories, the list may include wildcards -- see \|glob()\|) > :MF .c < (Note that :MF uses \|<f-args>\| to break the line at spaces) Mark files using the \|argument-list\| (\|netrw-mA\|) * Mark files based upon a \|location-list\| (\|netrw-qL\|) * Mark files based upon the quickfix list (\|netrw-qF\|) (\|quickfix-error-lists\|) The following netrw maps make use of marked files: \|netrw-a\| Hide marked files/directories \|netrw-D\| Delete marked files/directories \|netrw-ma\| Move marked files' names to \|arglist\| \|netrw-mA\| Move \|arglist\| filenames to marked file list \|netrw-mb\| Append marked files to bookmarks \|netrw-mB\| Delete marked files from bookmarks \|netrw-mc\| Copy marked files to target \|netrw-md\| Apply vimdiff to marked files \|netrw-me\| Edit marked files \|netrw-mF\| Unmark marked files \|netrw-mg\| Apply vimgrep to marked files \|netrw-mm\| Move marked files to target \|netrw-mp\| Print marked files \|netrw-ms\| Netrw will source marked files \|netrw-mt\| Set target for \|netrw-mm\| and \|netrw-mc\| \|netrw-mT\| Generate tags using marked files \|netrw-mv\| Apply vim command to marked files \|netrw-mx\| Apply shell command to marked files \|netrw-mX\| Apply shell command to marked files, en bloc \|netrw-mz\| Compress/Decompress marked files \|netrw-O\| Obtain marked files \|netrw-R\| Rename marked files One may unmark files one at a time the same way one marks them; ie. place the cursor atop a marked file and press "mf". This process also works with <s-leftmouse> using gvim. One may unmark all files by pressing "mu" (see \|netrw-mu\|). Marked files are highlighted using the "netrwMarkFile" highlighting group, which by default is linked to "Identifier" (see Identifier under \|group-name\|). You may change the highlighting group by putting something like > highlight clear netrwMarkFile hi link netrwMarkFile ..whatever.. < into $HOME/.vim/after/syntax/netrw.vim . If the mouse is enabled and works with your vim, you may use <s-leftmouse> to mark one or more files. You may mark multiple files by dragging the shifted leftmouse. (see \|netrw-mouse\|) markfilelist global_markfilelist local_markfilelist All marked files are entered onto the global marked file list; there is only one such list. In addition, every netrw buffer also has its own buffer-local marked file list; since netrw buffers are associated with specific directories, this means that each directory has its own local marked file list. The various commands which operate on marked files use one or the other of the marked file lists. Known Problem: if one is using tree mode (\|g:netrw_liststyle\|) and several directories have files with the same name, then marking such a file will result in all such files being highlighted as if they were all marked. The \|markfilelist\|, however, will only have the selected file in it. This problem is unlikely to be fixed. UNMARKING FILES netrw-mF {{{2 (also see \|netrw-mf\|, \|netrw-mu\|) The "mF" command will unmark all files in the current buffer. One may also use mf (\|netrw-mf\|) on a specific, already marked, file to unmark just that file. MARKING FILES BY LOCATION LIST netrw-qL {{{2 (also see \|netrw-mf\|) One may convert \|location-list\|s into a marked file list using "qL". You may then proceed with commands such as me (\|netrw-me\|) to edit them. MARKING FILES BY QUICKFIX LIST netrw-qF {{{2 (also see \|netrw-mf\|) One may convert \|quickfix-error-lists\| into a marked file list using "qF". You may then proceed with commands such as me (\|netrw-me\|) to edit them. Quickfix error lists are generated, for example, by calls to \|:vimgrep\|. MARKING FILES BY REGULAR EXPRESSION netrw-mr {{{2 (also see \|netrw-mf\|) One may also mark files by pressing "mr"; netrw will then issue a prompt, "Enter regexp: ". You may then enter a shell-style regular expression such as .c$ (see \|glob()\|). For remote systems, glob() doesn't work -- so netrw converts "" into "." (see \|regexp\|) and marks files based on that. In the future I may make it possible to use \|regexp\|s instead of glob()-style expressions (yet-another-option). See \|cmdline-window\| for directions on more on how to edit the regular expression. MARKED FILES, ARBITRARY VIM COMMAND netrw-mv* {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the local marked-file list) The "mv" map causes netrw to execute an arbitrary vim command on each file on the local marked file list, individually: * 1split * sil! keepalt e file * run vim command * sil! keepalt wq! A prompt, "Enter vim command: ", will be issued to elicit the vim command you wish used. See \|cmdline-window\| for directions for more on how to edit the command. MARKED FILES, ARBITRARY SHELL COMMAND netrw-mx {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the local marked-file list) Upon activation of the "mx" map, netrw will query the user for some (external) command to be applied to all marked files. All "%"s in the command will be substituted with the name of each marked file in turn. If no "%"s are in the command, then the command will be followed by a space and a marked filename. Example: (mark files) mx Enter command: cat The result is a series of shell commands: cat 'file1' cat 'file2' ... MARKED FILES, ARBITRARY SHELL COMMAND, EN BLOC netrw-mX {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the global marked-file list) Upon activation of the 'mX' map, netrw will query the user for some (external) command to be applied to all marked files on the global marked file list. The "en bloc" means that one command will be executed on all the files at once: > command files This approach is useful, for example, to select files and make a tarball: > (mark files) mX Enter command: tar cf mynewtarball.tar < The command that will be run with this example: tar cf mynewtarball.tar 'file1' 'file2' ... MARKED FILES: ARGUMENT LIST netrw-ma netrw-mA (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the global marked-file list) Using ma, one moves filenames from the marked file list to the argument list. Using mA, one moves filenames from the argument list to the marked file list. See Also: \|netrw-cb\| \|netrw-cB\| \|netrw-qF\| \|argument-list\| \|:args\| MARKED FILES: BUFFER LIST netrw-cb netrw-cB (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the global marked-file list) Using cb, one moves filenames from the marked file list to the buffer list. Using cB, one copies filenames from the buffer list to the marked file list. See Also: \|netrw-ma\| \|netrw-mA\| \|netrw-qF\| \|buffer-list\| \|:buffers\| MARKED FILES: COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION netrw-mz {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the local marked file list) If any marked files are compressed, then "mz" will decompress them. If any marked files are decompressed, then "mz" will compress them using the command specified by \|g:netrw_compress\|; by default, that's "gzip". For decompression, netrw uses a \|Dictionary\| of suffices and their associated decompressing utilities; see \|g:netrw_decompress\|. Remember that one can mark multiple files by regular expression (see \|netrw-mr\|); this is particularly useful to facilitate compressing and decompressing a large number of files. Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_compress\| \|g:netrw_decompress\| MARKED FILES: COPYING netrw-mc {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (Uses the global marked file list) Select a target directory with mt (\|netrw-mt\|). Then change directory, select file(s) (see \|netrw-mf\|), and press "mc". The copy is done from the current window (where one does the mf) to the target. If one does not have a target directory set with \|netrw-mt\|, then netrw will query you for a directory to copy to. One may also copy directories and their contents (local only) to a target directory. Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_localcopycmd\| \|g:netrw_localcopycmdopt\| \|g:netrw_localcopydircmd\| \|g:netrw_localcopydircmdopt\| \|g:netrw_ssh_cmd\| MARKED FILES: DIFF netrw-md {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the global marked file list) Use \|vimdiff\| to visualize difference between selected files (two or three may be selected for this). Uses the global marked file list. MARKED FILES: EDITING netrw-me {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the global marked file list) The "me" command will place the marked files on the \|arglist\| and commence editing them. One may return the to explorer window with \|:Rexplore\|. (use \|:n\| and \|:p\| to edit next and previous files in the arglist) MARKED FILES: GREP netrw-mg {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the global marked file list) The "mg" command will apply \|:vimgrep\| to the marked files. The command will ask for the requested pattern; one may then enter: > /pattern/[g][j] ! /pattern/[g][j] pattern < With /pattern/, editing will start with the first item on the \|quickfix\| list that vimgrep sets up (see \|:copen\|, \|:cnext\|, \|:cprevious\|, \|:cclose\|). The \|:vimgrep\| command is in use, so without 'g' each line is added to quickfix list only once; with 'g' every match is included. With /pattern/j, "mg" will winnow the current marked file list to just those marked files also possessing the specified pattern. Thus, one may use > mr ...file-pattern... mg /pattern/j < to have a marked file list satisfying the file-pattern but also restricted to files containing some desired pattern. MARKED FILES: HIDING AND UNHIDING BY SUFFIX netrw-mh {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the local marked file list) The "mh" command extracts the suffices of the marked files and toggles their presence on the hiding list. Please note that marking the same suffix this way multiple times will result in the suffix's presence being toggled for each file (so an even quantity of marked files having the same suffix is the same as not having bothered to select them at all). Related topics: \|netrw-a\| \|g:netrw_list_hide\| MARKED FILES: MOVING netrw-mm {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the global marked file list) WARNING: moving files is more dangerous than copying them. A file being moved is first copied and then deleted; if the copy operation fails and the delete succeeds, you will lose the file. Either try things out with unimportant files first or do the copy and then delete yourself using mc and D. Use at your own risk! Select a target directory with mt (\|netrw-mt\|). Then change directory, select file(s) (see \|netrw-mf\|), and press "mm". The move is done from the current window (where one does the mf) to the target. Associated setting variable: \|g:netrw_localmovecmd\| \|g:netrw_ssh_cmd\| MARKED FILES: PRINTING netrw-mp {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the local marked file list) When "mp" is used, netrw will apply the \|:hardcopy\| command to marked files. What netrw does is open each file in a one-line window, execute hardcopy, then close the one-line window. MARKED FILES: SOURCING netrw-ms {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) (uses the local marked file list) With "ms", netrw will source the marked files (using vim's \|:source\| command) MARKED FILES: SETTING THE TARGET DIRECTORY netrw-mt {{{2 (See \|netrw-mf\| and \|netrw-mr\| for how to mark files) Set the marked file copy/move-to target (see \|netrw-mc\| and \|netrw-mm\|): * If the cursor is atop a file name, then the netrw window's currently displayed directory is used for the copy/move-to target. * Also, if the cursor is in the banner, then the netrw window's currently displayed directory is used for the copy/move-to target. Unless the target already is the current directory. In which case, typing "mf" clears the target. * However, if the cursor is atop a directory name, then that directory is used for the copy/move-to target * One may use the :MT [directory] command to set the target netrw-:MT This command uses \|<q-args>\|, so spaces in the directory name are permitted without escaping. * With mouse-enabled vim or with gvim, one may select a target by using <c-leftmouse> There is only one copy/move-to target at a time in a vim session; ie. the target is a script variable (see \|s:var\|) and is shared between all netrw windows (in an instance of vim). When using menus and gvim, netrw provides a "Targets" entry which allows one to pick a target from the list of bookmarks and history.

For remote browsing, in order to create a tags file netrw will use ssh (see \|g:netrw_ssh_cmd\|), and so ssh must be available for this to work on remote systems. For your local system, see \|ctags\| on how to get a version. I myself use hdrtags, currently available at http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/src/index.html , and have > let g:netrw_ctags= "hdrtag" < in my <.vimrc>. When a remote set of files are tagged, the resulting tags file is "obtained"; ie. a copy is transferred to the local system's directory. The now local tags file is then modified so that one may use it through the network. The modification made concerns the names of the files in the tags; each filename is preceded by the netrw-compatible URL used to obtain it. When one subsequently uses one of the go to tag actions (\|tags\|), the URL will be used by netrw to edit the desired file and go to the tag. Associated setting variables: \|g:netrw_ctags\| \|g:netrw_ssh_cmd\| MARKED FILES: TARGET DIRECTORY USING BOOKMARKS netrw-Tb {{{2 Sets the marked file copy/move-to target.

This command differs from "mF" as the latter only unmarks files in the current directory whereas "mu" will unmark global and all buffer-local marked files. (see \|netrw-mF\|) netrw-browser-settings NETRW BROWSER VARIABLES netrw-browser-options netrw-browser-var {{{2 (if you're interested in the netrw file transfer settings, see \|netrw-options\| and \|netrw-protocol\|) The <netrw.vim> browser provides settings in the form of variables which you may modify; by placing these settings in your <.vimrc>, you may customize your browsing preferences.

Fast browsing retains old directory listing buffers so that they don't need to be re-acquired. This feature is especially important for remote browsing. However, if a file is introduced or deleted into or from such directories, the old directory buffer becomes out-of-date. One may always refresh such a directory listing with \|netrw-ctrl-l\|.

However, when using links, for example, those messages are what the browser produces. By setting this option to 0, netrw will not suppress browser messages. g:netrw_tmpfile_escape =' &;' escape() is applied to all temporary files to escape these characters. g:netrw_timefmt specify format string to vim's strftime(). The default, "%c", is "the preferred date and time representation for the current locale" according to my manpage entry for strftime(); however, not all are satisfied with it. Some alternatives: "%a %d %b %Y %T", " %a %Y-%m-%d %I-%M-%S %p" default: "%c" g:netrw_use_noswf netrw normally avoids writing swapfiles for browser buffers. However, under some systems this apparently is causing nasty ml_get errors to appear; if you're getting ml_get errors, try putting let g:netrw_use_noswf= 0 in your .vimrc. default: 1 g:netrw_winsize specify initial size of new windows made with "o" (see \|netrw-o\|), "v" (see \|netrw-v\|), \|:Hexplore\| or \|:Vexplore\|. The g:netrw_winsize is an integer describing the percentage of the current netrw buffer's window to be used for the new window. If g:netrw_winsize is less than zero, then the absolute value of g:netrw_winsize will be used to specify the quantity of lines or columns for the new window. If g:netrw_winsize is zero, then a normal split will be made (ie. \|'equalalways'\| will take effect, for example). default: 50 (for 50%) g:netrw_wiw =1 specifies the minimum window width to use when shrinking a netrw/Lexplore window (see \|netrw-c-tab\|). g:netrw_xstrlen Controls how netrw computes string lengths, including multi-byte characters' string length. (thanks to N Weibull, T Mechelynck) =0: uses Vim's built-in strlen() =1: number of codepoints (Latin a + combining circumflex is two codepoints) (DEFAULT) =2: number of spacing codepoints (Latin a + combining circumflex is one spacing codepoint; a hard tab is one; wide and narrow CJK are one each; etc.) =3: virtual length (counting tabs as anything between 1 and \|'tabstop'\|, wide CJK as 2 rather than 1, Arabic alif as zero when immediately preceded by lam, one otherwise, etc) g:NetrwTopLvlMenu This variable specifies the top level menu name; by default, it's "Netrw.". If you wish to change this, do so in your .vimrc. NETRW BROWSING AND OPTION INCOMPATIBILITIES netrw-incompatible {{{2 Netrw has been designed to handle user options by saving them, setting the options to something that's compatible with netrw's needs, and then restoring them. However, the autochdir option: > :set acd is problematic. Autochdir sets the current directory to that containing the file you edit; this apparently also applies to directories. In other words, autochdir sets the current directory to that containing the "file" (even if that "file" is itself a directory). NETRW SETTINGS WINDOW netrw-settings-window {{{2 With the NetrwSettings.vim plugin, > :NetrwSettings will bring up a window with the many variables that netrw uses for its settings. You may change any of their values; when you save the file, the settings therein will be used. One may also press "?" on any of the lines for help on what each of the variables do. (also see: \|netrw-browser-var\| \|netrw-protocol\| \|netrw-variables\|) ============================================================================== OBTAINING A FILE netrw-obtain netrw-O {{{2 If there are no marked files: When browsing a remote directory, one may obtain a file under the cursor (ie. get a copy on your local machine, but not edit it) by pressing the O key. If there are marked files: The marked files will be obtained (ie. a copy will be transferred to your local machine, but not set up for editing). Only ftp and scp are supported for this operation (but since these two are available for browsing, that shouldn't be a problem). The status bar will then show, on its right hand side, a message like "Obtaining filename". The statusline will be restored after the transfer is complete. Netrw can also "obtain" a file using the local browser. Netrw's display of a directory is not necessarily the same as Vim's "current directory", unless \|g:netrw_keepdir\| is set to 0 in the user's <.vimrc>. One may select a file using the local browser (by putting the cursor on it) and pressing "O" will then "obtain" the file; ie. copy it to Vim's current directory. Related topics: * To see what the current directory is, use \|:pwd\| * To make the currently browsed directory the current directory, see \|netrw-cd\| * To automatically make the currently browsed directory the current directory, see \|g:netrw_keepdir\|. netrw-newfile netrw-createfile OPEN A NEW FILE IN NETRW'S CURRENT DIRECTORY netrw-% {{{2 To open a new file in netrw's current directory, press "%". This map will query the user for a new filename; an empty file by that name will be placed in the netrw's current directory (ie. b:netrw_curdir). Related topics: \|netrw-d\| PREVIEW WINDOW netrw-p netrw-preview {{{2 One may use a preview window by using the "p" key when the cursor is atop the desired filename to be previewed. The display will then split to show both the browser (where the cursor will remain) and the file (see \|:pedit\|). By default, the split will be taken horizontally; one may use vertical splitting if one has set \|g:netrw_preview\| first. An interesting set of netrw settings is: > let g:netrw_preview = 1 let g:netrw_liststyle = 3 let g:netrw_winsize = 30 These will: 1. Make vertical splitting the default for previewing files 2. Make the default listing style "tree" 3. When a vertical preview window is opened, the directory listing will use only 30% of the columns available; the rest of the window is used for the preview window. Related: if you like this idea, you may also find :Lexplore (\|netrw-:Lexplore\|) or \|g:netrw_chgwin\| of interest Also see: \|g:netrw_chgwin\| \|netrw-P\| \|'previewwindow'\| \|CTRL-W_z\| \|:pclose\| PREVIOUS WINDOW netrw-P netrw-prvwin {{{2 To edit a file or directory under the cursor in the previously used (last accessed) window (see :he \|CTRL-W_p\|), press a "P". If there's only one window, then the one window will be horizontally split (by default). If there's more than one window, the previous window will be re-used on the selected file/directory. If the previous window's associated buffer has been modified, and there's only one window with that buffer, then the user will be asked if s/he wishes to save the buffer first (yes, no, or cancel).

One may also refresh a local directory by using ":e .". REVERSING SORTING ORDER netrw-r netrw-reverse {{{2 One may toggle between normal and reverse sorting order by pressing the "r" key. Related topics: \|netrw-s\| Associated setting variable: \|g:netrw_sort_direction\| RENAMING FILES OR DIRECTORIES netrw-move netrw-rename netrw-R {{{2 If there are no marked files: (see \|netrw-mf\|) Renaming files and directories involves moving the cursor to the file/directory to be moved (renamed) and pressing "R". You will then be queried for what you want the file/directory to be renamed to. You may select a range of lines with the "V" command (visual selection), and then press "R"; you will be queried for each file as to what you want it renamed to. If there are marked files: (see \|netrw-mf\|) Marked files will be renamed (moved). You will be queried as above in order to specify where you want the file/directory to be moved. If you answer a renaming query with a "s/frompattern/topattern/", then subsequent files on the marked file list will be renamed by taking each name, applying that substitute, and renaming each file to the result. As an example : > mr [query: reply with .c] R [query: reply with s/^$.$\.c$/\1.cpp/] < This example will mark all .c files and then rename them to .cpp files. Netrw will protect you from overwriting local files without confirmation, but not remote ones. The ctrl-X character has special meaning for renaming files: > <c-x> : a single ctrl-x tells netrw to ignore the portion of the response lying between the last '/' and the ctrl-x. <c-x><c-x> : a pair of contiguous ctrl-x's tells netrw to ignore any portion of the string preceding the double ctrl-x's. < WARNING:~ Note that moving files is a dangerous operation; copies are safer. That's because a "move" for remote files is actually a copy + delete -- and if the copy fails and the delete succeeds you may lose the file. Use at your own risk. The g:netrw_rename_cmd variable is used to implement remote renaming. By default its value is: > ssh HOSTNAME mv < One may rename a block of files and directories by selecting them with V (\|linewise-visual\|) when using thin style. See \|cmdline-editing\| for more on how to edit the command line; in particular, you'll find <ctrl-f> (initiates cmdline window editing) and <ctrl-c> (uses the command line under the cursor) useful in conjunction with the R command. SELECTING SORTING STYLE netrw-s netrw-sort {{{2 One may select the sorting style by name, time, or (file) size. The "s" map allows one to circulate amongst the three choices; the directory listing will automatically be refreshed to reflect the selected style.

Subsequent selection of a file to edit (\|netrw-cr\|) will use that window. * C : by itself, will select the current window holding a netrw buffer for subsequent editing via \|netrw-cr\|. The C mapping is only available while in netrw buffers. * [count]C : the count will be used as the window number to be used for subsequent editing via \|netrw-cr\|. * :NetrwC will set \|g:netrw_chgwin\| to the current window * :NetrwC win# will set \|g:netrw_chgwin\| to the specified window number Using > let g:netrw_chgwin= -1 will restore the default editing behavior (ie. subsequent editing will use the current window).

I use Windows, and my network browsing with ftp doesn't sort by {{{2 time or size! -or- The remote system is a Windows server; why don't I get sorts by time or size? Windows' ftp has a minimal support for ls (ie. it doesn't accept sorting options). It doesn't support the -F which gives an explanatory character (ABC/ for "ABC is a directory"). Netrw then uses "dir" to get both its thin and long listings. If you think your ftp does support a full-up ls, put the following into your <.vimrc>: > let g:netrw_ftp_list_cmd = "ls -lF" let g:netrw_ftp_timelist_cmd= "ls -tlF" let g:netrw_ftp_sizelist_cmd= "ls -slF" < Alternatively, if you have cygwin on your Windows box, put into your <.vimrc>: > let g:netrw_cygwin= 1 < This problem also occurs when the remote system is Windows.

I want to have two windows; a thin one on the left and my {{{2 editing window on the right. How may I accomplish this? You probably want netrw running as in a side window. If so, you will likely find that ":[N]Lexplore" does what you want. The optional "[N]" allows you to select the quantity of columns you wish the \|:Lexplore\|r window to start with (see \|g:netrw_winsize\| for how this parameter works). Previous solution: * Put the following line in your <.vimrc>: let g:netrw_altv = 1 * Edit the current directory: :e . * Select some file, press v * Resize the windows as you wish (see \|CTRL-W_<\| and \|CTRL-W_>\|). If you're using gvim, you can drag the separating bar with your mouse. * When you want a new file, use ctrl-w h to go back to the netrw browser, select a file, then press P (see \|CTRL-W_h\| and \|netrw-P\|). If you're using gvim, you can press <leftmouse> in the browser window and then press the <middlemouse> to select the file. netrw-p12 P12. My directory isn't sorting correctly, or unwanted letters are {{{2 appearing in the listed filenames, or things aren't lining up properly in the wide listing, ... This may be due to an encoding problem. I myself usually use utf-8, but really only use ascii (ie. bytes from 32-126). Multibyte encodings use two (or more) bytes per character. You may need to change \|g:netrw_sepchr\| and/or \|g:netrw_xstrlen\|. netrw-p13 P13. I'm a Windows + putty + ssh user, and when I attempt to {{{2 browse, the directories are missing trailing "/"s so netrw treats them as file transfers instead of as attempts to browse subdirectories. How may I fix this? (mikeyao) If you want to use vim via ssh and putty under Windows, try combining the use of pscp/psftp with plink. pscp/psftp will be used to connect and plink will be used to execute commands on the server, for example: list files and directory using 'ls'. These are the settings I use to do this: > " list files, it's the key setting, if you haven't set, " you will get a blank buffer let g:netrw_list_cmd = "plink HOSTNAME ls -Fa" " if you haven't add putty directory in system path, you should " specify scp/sftp command. For examples: "let g:netrw_sftp_cmd = "d:\\dev\\putty\\PSFTP.exe" "let g:netrw_scp_cmd = "d:\\dev\\putty\\PSCP.exe" < netrw-p14 P14. I would like to speed up writes using Nwrite and scp/ssh {{{2 style connections. How? (Thomer M. Gil) Try using ssh's ControlMaster and ControlPath (see the ssh_config man page) to share multiple ssh connections over a single network connection. That cuts out the cryptographic handshake on each file write, sometimes speeding it up by an order of magnitude. (see http://thomer.com/howtos/netrw_ssh.html) (included by permission) Add the following to your ~/.ssh/config: > # you change "" to the hostname you care about Host ControlMaster auto ControlPath /tmp/%r@%h:%p < Then create an ssh connection to the host and leave it running: > ssh -N host.domain.com < Now remotely open a file with Vim's Netrw and enjoy the zippiness: > vim scp://host.domain.com//home/user/.bashrc < netrw-p15 P15. How may I use a double-click instead of netrw's usual single {{{2 click to open a file or directory? (Ben Fritz) First, disable netrw's mapping with > let g:netrw_mousemaps= 0 < and then create a netrw buffer only mapping in $HOME/.vim/after/ftplugin/netrw.vim: > nmap <buffer> <2-leftmouse> <CR> < Note that setting g:netrw_mousemaps to zero will turn off all netrw's mouse mappings, not just the <leftmouse> one. (see \|g:netrw_mousemaps\|) netrw-p16 P16. When editing remote files (ex. :e ftp://hostname/path/file), {{{2 under Windows I get an \|E303\| message complaining that its unable to open a swap file. (romainl) It looks like you are starting Vim from a protected directory. Start netrw from your $HOME or other writable directory. netrw-p17 P17. Netrw is closing buffers on its own. {{{2 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. :Explore, navigate directories, open a file 2. :Explore, open another file 3. Buffer opened in step 1 will be closed. o What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect both buffers to exist, but only the last one does. (Lance) Problem is caused by "set autochdir" in .vimrc. (drchip) I am able to duplicate this problem with \|'acd'\| set. It appears that the buffers are not exactly closed; a ":ls!" will show them (although ":ls" does not). netrw-P18 P18. How to locally edit a file that's only available via {{{2 another server accessible via ssh? See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12469645/ "Using Vim to Remotely Edit A File on ServerB Only Accessible From ServerA" netrw-P19 P19. How do I get numbering on in directory listings? {{{2 With \|g:netrw_bufsettings\|, you can control netrw's buffer settings; try putting > let g:netrw_bufsettings="noma nomod nu nobl nowrap ro nornu" < in your .vimrc. If you'd like to have relative numbering instead, try > let g:netrw_bufsettings="noma nomod nonu nobl nowrap ro rnu" < netrw-P20 P20. How may I have gvim start up showing a directory listing? {{{2 Try putting the following code snippet into your .vimrc: > augroup VimStartup au! au VimEnter * if expand("%") == "" && argc() == 0 && \ (v:servername =~ 'GVIM\d' \|\| v:servername == "") \ \| e . \| endif augroup END < You may use Lexplore instead of "e" if you're so inclined. This snippet assumes that you have client-server enabled (ie. a "huge" vim version). netrw-P21* P21. I've made a directory (or file) with an accented character, {{{2 but netrw isn't letting me enter that directory/read that file: Its likely that the shell or o/s is using a different encoding than you have vim (netrw) using. A patch to vim supporting "systemencoding" may address this issue in the future; for now, just have netrw use the proper encoding. For example: > au FileType netrw set enc=latin1 < netrw-P22 P22. I get an error message when I try to copy or move a file: {{{2 error (netrw) tried using g:netrw_localcopycmd<cp>; it doesn't work! What's wrong? Netrw uses several system level commands to do things (see \|g:netrw_localcopycmd\|, \|g:netrw_localmovecmd\|, \|g:netrw_localrmdir\|, \|g:netrw_mkdir_cmd\|). You may need to adjust the default commands for one or more of these commands by setting them properly in your .vimrc. Another source of difficulty is that these commands use vim's local directory, which may not be the same as the browsing directory shown by netrw (see \|g:netrw_keepdir\|). ============================================================================== 11. Debugging Netrw Itself netrw-debug {{{1 Step 1: check that the problem you've encountered hasn't already been resolved by obtaining a copy of the latest (often developmental) netrw at: http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW The <netrw.vim> script is typically installed on systems as something like: > /usr/local/share/vim/vim8x/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim /usr/local/share/vim/vim8x/autoload/netrw.vim (see output of :echo &rtp) < which is loaded automatically at startup (assuming :set nocp). If you installed a new netrw, then it will be located at > $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim $HOME/.vim/autoload/netrw.vim < Step 2: assuming that you've installed the latest version of netrw, check that your problem is really due to netrw. Create a file called netrw.vimrc with the following contents: > set nocp so $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim < Then run netrw as follows: > vim -u netrw.vimrc --noplugins -i NONE [some path here] < Perform whatever netrw commands you need to, and check that the problem is still present. This procedure sidesteps any issues due to personal .vimrc settings, .viminfo file, and other plugins. If the problem does not appear, then you need to determine which setting in your .vimrc is causing the conflict with netrw or which plugin(s) is/are involved. Step 3: If the problem still is present, then get a debugging trace from netrw: 1. Get the <Decho.vim> script, available as: http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#DECHO or http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=120 Decho.vim is provided as a "vimball"; see \|vimball-intro\|. You should edit the Decho.vba.gz file and source it in: > vim Decho.vba.gz :so % :q < 2. To turn on debug tracing in netrw, then edit the <netrw.vim> file by typing: > vim netrw.vim :DechoOn :wq < To restore to normal non-debugging behavior, re-edit <netrw.vim> and type > vim netrw.vim :DechoOff :wq < This command, provided by <Decho.vim>, will comment out all Decho-debugging statements (Dfunc(), Dret(), Decho(), Dredir()). 3. Then bring up vim and attempt to evoke the problem by doing a transfer or doing some browsing. A set of messages should appear concerning the steps that <netrw.vim> took in attempting to read/write your file over the network in a separate tab or server vim window. Change the netrw.vimrc file to include the Decho plugin: > set nocp so $HOME/.vim/plugin/Decho.vim so $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim < You should continue to run vim with > vim -u netrw.vimrc --noplugins -i NONE [some path here] < to avoid entanglements with options and other plugins. To save the file: under linux, the output will be in a separate remote server window; in it, just save the file with > :w! DBG < Under a vim that doesn't support clientserver, your debugging output will appear in another tab: > :tabnext :set bt= :w! DBG < Furthermore, it'd be helpful if you would type > :Dsep <command> < where <command> is the command you're about to type next, thereby making it easier to associate which part of the debugging trace is due to which command. Please send that information to <netrw.vim>'s maintainer along with the o/s you're using and the vim version that you're using (see \|:version\|) (remove the embedded NOSPAM first) > NcampObell@SdrPchip.AorgM-NOSPAM < ============================================================================== 12. History netrw-history {{{1 v170: Mar 11, 2020 * (reported by Reiner Herrmann) netrw+tree would not hide with the ^\..* pattern correctly. * (Marcin Szamotulski) NetrwOptionRestore did not restore options correctly that had a single quote in the option string. Apr 13, 2020 * implemented error handling via popup windows (see \|popup_beval()\|) Apr 30, 2020 * (reported by Manatsu Takahashi) while using Lexplore, a modified file could be overwritten. Sol'n: will not overwrite, but will emit an \|E37\| (although one cannot add an ! to override) Jun 07, 2020 * (reported by Jo Totland) repeatedly invoking :Lexplore and quitting it left unused hidden buffers. Netrw will now set netrw buffers created by :Lexplore to \|bh\|=wipe. v169: Dec 20, 2019 * (reported by amkarthik) that netrw's x (\|netrw-x\|) would throw an error when attempting to open a local directory. v168: Dec 12, 2019 * scp timeout error message not reported, hopefully now fixed (Shane Xb Qian) v167: Nov 29, 2019 * netrw does a save&restore on @* and @+. That causes problems with the clipboard. Now restores occurs only if @* or @+ have been changed. * netrw will change @* or @+ less often. Never if I happen to have caught all the operations that modify the unnamed register (which also writes @). Modified hiding behavior so that "s" will not ignore hiding. v166: Nov 06, 2019 * Removed a space from a nmap for "-" * Numerous debugging statement changes v163: Dec 05, 2017 * (Cristi Balan) reported that a setting ('sel') was left changed * (Holger Mitschke) reported a problem with saving and restoring history. Fixed. * Hopefully I fixed a nasty bug that caused a file rename to wipe out a buffer that it should not have wiped out. * (Holger Mitschke) amended this help file with additional \|g:netrw_special_syntax\| items * Prioritized wget over curl for g:netrw_http_cmd v162: Sep 19, 2016 * (haya14busa) pointed out two syntax errors with a patch; these are now fixed. Oct 26, 2016 * I started using mate-terminal and found that x and gx (\|netrw-x\| and \|netrw-gx\|) were no longer working. Fixed (using atril when $DESKTOP_SESSION is "mate"). Nov 04, 2016 * (Martin Vuille) pointed out that @+ was being restored with keepregstar rather than keepregplus. Nov 09, 2016 * Broke apart the command from the options, mostly for Windows. Introduced new netrw settings: \|g:netrw_localcopycmdopt\| \|g:netrw_localcopydircmdopt\| \|g:netrw_localmkdiropt\| \|g:netrw_localmovecmdopt\| \|g:netrw_localrmdiropt\| Nov 21, 2016 * (mattn) provided a patch for preview; swapped winwidth() with winheight() Nov 22, 2016 * (glacambre) reported that files containing spaces weren't being obtained properly via scp. Fix: apparently using single quotes such as with 'file name' wasn't enough; the spaces inside the quotes also had to be escaped (ie. 'file\ name'). * Also fixed obtain (\|netrw-O\|) to be able to obtain files with spaces in their names Dec 20, 2016 * (xc1427) Reported that using "I" (\|netrw-I\|) when atop "Hiding" in the banner also caused the active-banner hiding control to occur Jan 03, 2017 * (Enno Nagel) reported that attempting to apply netrw to a directory that was without read permission caused a syntax error. Jan 13, 2017 * (Ingo Karkat) provided a patch which makes using netrw#Call() better. Now returns value of internal routines return, for example. Jan 13, 2017 * (Ingo Karkat) changed netrw#FileUrlRead to use \|:edit\| instead of \|:read\|. I also changed the routine name to netrw#FileUrlEdit. Jan 16, 2017 * (Sayem) reported a problem where :Lexplore could generate a new listing buffer and window instead of toggling the netrw display. Unfortunately, the directions for eliciting the problem weren't complete, so I may or may not have fixed that issue. Feb 06, 2017 * Implemented cb and cB. Changed "c" to "cd". (see \|netrw-cb\|, \|netrw-cB\|, and \|netrw-cd\|) Mar 21, 2017 * previously, netrw would specify (safe) settings even when the setting was already safe for netrw. Netrw now attempts to leave such already-netrw-safe settings alone. (affects s:NetrwOptionRestore() and s:NetrwSafeOptions(); also introduced s:NetrwRestoreSetting()) Jun 26, 2017 * (Christian Brabandt) provided a patch to allow curl to follow redirects (ie. -L option) Jun 26, 2017 * (Callum Howard) reported a problem with :Lexpore not removing the Lexplore window after a change-directory Aug 30, 2017 * (Ingo Karkat) one cannot switch to the previously edited file (e.g. with CTRL-^) after editing a file:// URL. Patch to have a "keepalt" included. Oct 17, 2017 * (Adam Faryna) reported that gn (\|netrw-gn\|) did not work on directories in the current tree v157: Apr 20, 2016 * (Nicola) had set up a "nmap <expr> ..." with a function that returned a 0 while silently invoking a shell command. The shell command activated a ShellCmdPost event which in turn called s:LocalBrowseRefresh(). That looks over all netrw buffers for changes needing refreshes. However, inside a \|:map-<expr>\|, tab and window changes are disallowed. Fixed. (affects netrw's s:LocalBrowseRefresh()) * \|g:netrw_localrmdir\| not used any more, but the relevant patch that causes \|delete()\| to take over was #1107 (not #1109). * \|expand()\| is now used on \|g:netrw_home\|; consequently, g:netrw_home may now use environment variables * s:NetrwLeftmouse and s:NetrwCLeftmouse will return without doing anything if invoked when inside a non-netrw window Jun 15, 2016 * gx now calls netrw#GX() which returns the word under the cursor. The new wrinkle: if one is in a netrw buffer, then netrw's s:NetrwGetWord(). Jun 22, 2016 * Netrw was executing all its associated Filetype commands silently; I'm going to try doing that "noisily" and see if folks have a problem with that. Aug 12, 2016 * Changed order of tool selection for handling http://... viewing. (Nikolay Aleksandrovich Pavlov) Aug 21, 2016 * Included hiding/showing/all for tree listings * Fixed refresh (^L) for tree listings v156: Feb 18, 2016 * Changed =~ to =~# where appropriate Feb 23, 2016 * s:ComposePath(base,subdir) now uses fnameescape() on the base portion Mar 01, 2016 * (gt_macki) reported where :Explore would make file unlisted. Fixed (tst943) Apr 04, 2016 * (reported by John Little) netrw normally suppresses browser messages, but sometimes those "messages" are what is wanted. See \|g:netrw_suppress_gx_mesg\| Apr 06, 2016 * (reported by Carlos Pita) deleting a remote file was giving an error message. Fixed. Apr 08, 2016 * (Charles Cooper) had a problem with an undefined b:netrw_curdir. He also provided a fix. Apr 20, 2016 * Changed s:NetrwGetBuffer(); now uses dictionaries. Also fixed the "No Name" buffer problem. v155: Oct 29, 2015 * (Timur Fayzrakhmanov) reported that netrw's mapping of ctrl-l was not allowing refresh of other windows when it was done in a netrw window. Nov 05, 2015 * Improved s:TreeSqueezeDir() to use search() instead of a loop * NetrwBrowse() will return line to w:netrw_bannercnt if cursor ended up in banner Nov 16, 2015 * Added a <Plug>NetrwTreeSqueeze (\|netrw-s-cr\|) Nov 17, 2015 * Commented out imaps -- perhaps someone can tell me how they're useful and should be retained? Nov 20, 2015 * Added \|netrw-ma\| and \|netrw-mA\| support Nov 20, 2015 * gx (\|netrw-gx\|) on a URL downloaded the file in addition to simply bringing up the URL in a browser. Fixed. Nov 23, 2015 * Added \|g:netrw_sizestyle\| support Nov 27, 2015 * Inserted a lot of <c-u>s into various netrw maps. Jan 05, 2016 * \|netrw-qL\| implemented to mark files based upon \|location-list\|s; similar to \|netrw-qF\|. Jan 19, 2016 * using - call delete(directoryname,"d") - instead of using g:netrw_localrmdir if v7.4 + patch#1107 is available Jan 28, 2016 * changed to using \|winsaveview()\| and \|winrestview()\| Jan 28, 2016 * s:NetrwTreePath() now does a save and restore of view Feb 08, 2016 * Fixed a tree-listing problem with remote directories v154: Feb 26, 2015 * (Yuri Kanivetsky) reported a situation where a file was not treated properly as a file due to g:netrw_keepdir == 1 Mar 25, 2015 * (requested by Ben Friz) one may now sort by extension Mar 28, 2015 * (requested by Matt Brooks) netrw has a lot of buffer-local mappings; however, some plugins (such as vim-surround) set up conflicting mappings that cause vim to wait. The "<nowait>" modifier has been included with most of netrw's mappings to avoid that delay. Jun 26, 2015 * \|netrw-gn\| mapping implemted * :Ntree NotADir resulted in having the tree listing expand in the error messages window. Fixed. Jun 29, 2015 * Attempting to delete a file remotely caused an error with "keepsol" mentioned; fixed. Jul 08, 2015 * Several changes to keep the \|:jumps\| table correct when working with \|g:netrw_fastbrowse\| set to 2 * wide listing with accented characters fixed (using %-S instead of %-s with a \|printf()\| Jul 13, 2015 * (Daniel Hahler) CheckIfKde() could be true but kfmclient not installed. Changed order in netrw#BrowseX(): checks if kde and kfmclient, then will use xdg-open on a unix system (if xdg-open is executable) Aug 11, 2015 * (McDonnell) tree listing mode wouldn't select a file in a open subdirectory. * (McDonnell) when multiple subdirectories were concurrently open in tree listing mode, a ctrl-L wouldn't refresh properly. * The netrw:target menu showed duplicate entries Oct 13, 2015 * (mattn) provided an exception to handle windows with shellslash set but no shell Oct 23, 2015 * if g:netrw_usetab and <c-tab> now used to control whether NetrwShrink is used (see \|netrw-c-tab\|) v153: May 13, 2014 * added another \|g:netrw_ffkeep\| usage {{{2 May 14, 2014 * changed s:PerformListing() so that it always sets ft=netrw for netrw buffers (ie. even when syntax highlighting is off, not available, etc) May 16, 2014 * introduced the \|netrw-ctrl-r\| functionality May 17, 2014 * introduced the \|netrw-:NetrwMB\| functionality * mb and mB (\|netrw-mb\|, \|netrw-mB\|) will add/remove marked files from bookmark list May 20, 2014 * (Enno Nagel) reported that :Lex <dirname> wasn't working. Fixed. May 26, 2014 * restored test to prevent leftmouse window resizing from causing refresh. (see s:NetrwLeftmouse()) * fixed problem where a refresh caused cursor to go just under the banner instead of staying put May 28, 2014 * (László Bimba) provided a patch for opening the \|:Lexplore\| window 100% high, optionally on the right, and will work with remote files. May 29, 2014 * implemented :NetrwC (see \|netrw-:NetrwC\|) Jun 01, 2014 * Removed some "silent"s from commands used to implemented scp://... and pscp://... directory listing. Permits request for password to appear. Jun 05, 2014 * (Enno Nagel) reported that user maps "/" caused problems with "b" and "w", which are mapped (for wide listings only) to skip over files rather than just words. Jun 10, 2014 * \|g:netrw_gx\| introduced to allow users to override default "<cfile>" with the gx (\|netrw-gx\|) map Jun 11, 2014 * gx (\|netrw-gx\|), with \|'autowrite'\| set, will write modified files. s:NetrwBrowseX() will now save, turn off, and restore the \|'autowrite'\| setting. Jun 13, 2014 * added visual map for gx use Jun 15, 2014 * (Enno Nagel) reported that with having hls set and wide listing style in use, that the b and w maps caused unwanted highlighting. Jul 05, 2014 * \|netrw-mv\| and \|netrw-mX\| commands included Jul 09, 2014 * \|g:netrw_keepj\| included, allowing optional keepj Jul 09, 2014 * fixing bugs due to previous update Jul 21, 2014 * (Bruno Sutic) provided an updated netrw_gitignore.vim Jul 30, 2014 * (Yavuz Yetim) reported that editing two remote files of the same name caused the second instance to have a "temporary" name. Fixed: now they use the same buffer. Sep 18, 2014 * (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) provided a patch which allows scp and windows local paths to work. Oct 07, 2014 * gx (see \|netrw-gx\|) when atop a directory, will now do \|gf\| instead Nov 06, 2014 * For cygwin: cygstart will be available for netrw#BrowseX() to use if its executable. Nov 07, 2014 * Began support for file://... urls. Will use \|g:netrw_file_cmd\| (typically elinks or links) Dec 02, 2014 * began work on having mc (\|netrw-mc\|) copy directories. Works for linux machines, cygwin+vim, but not for windows+gvim. Dec 02, 2014 * in tree mode, netrw was not opening directories via symbolic links. Dec 02, 2014 * added resolved link information to thin and tree modes Dec 30, 2014 * (issue#231) \|:ls\| was not showing remote-file buffers reliably. Fixed. v152: Apr 08, 2014 * uses the \|'noswapfile'\| option (requires {{{2 vim 7.4 with patch 213) * (Enno Nagel) turn \|'rnu'\| off in netrw buffers. * (Quinn Strahl) suggested that netrw allow regular window splitting to occur, thereby allowing \|'equalalways'\| to take effect. * (qingtian zhao) normally, netrw will save and restore the \|'fileformat'\|; however, sometimes that isn't wanted Apr 14, 2014 * whenever netrw marks a buffer as ro, it will also mark it as nomod. Apr 16, 2014 * sftp protocol now supported by netrw#Obtain(); this means that one may use "mc" to copy a remote file to a local file using sftp, and that the \|netrw-O\| command can obtain remote files via sftp. * added [count]C support (see \|netrw-C\|) Apr 18, 2014 * when \|g:netrw_chgwin\| is one more than the last window, then vertically split the last window and use it as the chgwin window. May 09, 2014 * SavePosn was "saving filename under cursor" from a non-netrw window when using :Rex. v151: Jan 22, 2014 * extended :Rexplore to return to buffer {{{2 prior to Explore or editing a directory * (Ken Takata) netrw gave error when clipboard was disabled. Sol'n: Placed several if has("clipboard") tests in. * Fixed ftp://X@Y@Z// problem; X@Y now part of user id, and only Z is part of hostname. * (A Loumiotis) reported that completion using a directory name containing spaces did not work. Fixed with a retry in netrw#Explore() which removes the backslashes vim inserted. Feb 26, 2014 * :Rexplore now records the current file using w:netrw_rexfile when returning via \|:Rexplore\| Mar 08, 2014 * (David Kotchan) provided some patches allowing netrw to work properly with windows shares. * Multiple one-liner help messages available by pressing <cr> while atop the "Quick Help" line * worked on ShellCmdPost, FocusGained event handling. * \|:Lexplore\| path: will be used to update a left-side netrw browsing directory. Mar 12, 2014 * \|netrw-s-cr\|: use <s-cr> to close tree directory implemented Mar 13, 2014 * (Tony Mechylynck) reported that using the browser with ftp on a directory, and selecting a gzipped txt file, that an E19 occurred (which was issued by gzip.vim). Fixed. Mar 14, 2014 * Implemented :MF and :MT (see \|netrw-:MF\| and \|netrw-:MT\|, respectively) Mar 17, 2014 * \|:Ntree\| [dir] wasn't working properly; fixed Mar 18, 2014 * Changed all uses of set to setl Mar 18, 2014 * Commented the netrw_btkeep line in s:NetrwOptionSave(); the effect is that netrw buffers will remain as \|'bt'\|=nofile. This should prevent swapfiles being created for netrw buffers. Mar 20, 2014 * Changed all uses of lcd to use s:NetrwLcd() instead. Consistent error handling results and it also handles Window's shares * Fixed \|netrw-d\| command when applied with ftp * https: support included for netrw#NetRead() v150: Jul 12, 2013 * removed a "keepalt" to allow ":e #" to {{{2 return to the netrw directory listing Jul 13, 2013 * (Jonas Diemer) suggested changing a <cWORD> to <cfile>.

📄 pi_paren.txt pi_paren.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2013 May 08 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Highlighting matching parens matchparen The functionality mentioned here is a \|standard-plugin\|. This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set. You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_matchparen" variable: > :let loaded_matchparen = 1 The plugin installs CursorMoved, CursorMovedI and WinEnter autocommands to redefine the match highlighting. :NoMatchParen :DoMatchParen To disable the plugin after it was loaded use this command: > :NoMatchParen And to enable it again: > :DoMatchParen The highlighting used is MatchParen. You can specify different colors with the ":highlight" command. Example: > :hi MatchParen ctermbg=blue guibg=lightblue The characters to be matched come from the 'matchpairs' option. You can change the value to highlight different matches. Note that not everything is possible. For example, you can't highlight single or double quotes, because the start and end are equal. The syntax highlighting attributes are used. When the cursor currently is not in a string or comment syntax item, then matches inside string and comment syntax items are ignored. Any syntax items with "string" or "comment" somewhere in their name are considered string or comment items. The search is limited to avoid a delay when moving the cursor. The limits are: - What is visible in the window. - 100 lines above or below the cursor to avoid a long delay when there are closed folds. - 'synmaxcol' times 2 bytes before or after the cursor to avoid a delay in a long line with syntax highlighting. - A timeout of 300 msec (60 msec in Insert mode). This can be changed with the g:matchparen_timeout and g:matchparen_insert_timeout variables and their buffer-local equivalents b:matchparen_timeout and b:matchparen_insert_timeout. If you would like the \|%\| command to work better, the matchit plugin can be used, see \|matchit-install\|. This plugin also helps to skip matches in comments. This is unrelated to the matchparen highlighting, they use a different mechanism. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	2.22 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 pi_spec.txt pi_spec.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2006 Apr 24 by Gustavo Niemeyer ~ This is a filetype plugin to work with rpm spec files. Currently, this Vim plugin allows you to easily update the %changelog section in RPM spec files. It will even create a section for you if it doesn't exist yet. If you've already inserted an entry today, it will give you the opportunity to just add a new item in today's entry. If you don't provide a format string (\|spec_chglog_format\|), it'll ask you an email address and build a format string by itself. 1. How to use it \|spec-how-to-use-it\| 2. Customizing \|spec-customizing\| ============================================================================== 1. How to use it spec-how-to-use-it The spec_chglog plugin provides a map like the following: :map <buffer> <LocalLeader>c <Plug>SpecChangelog It means that you may run the plugin inside a spec file by pressing your maplocalleader key (default is '\') plus 'c'. If you do not have \|spec_chglog_format\| set, the plugin will ask you for an email address to use in this edit session. Every time you run the plugin, it will check to see if the last entry in the changelog has been written today and by you. If the entry matches, it will just insert a new changelog item, otherwise it will create a new changelog entry. If you are running with \|spec_chglog_release_info\| enabled, it will also check if the name, version and release matches. The plugin is smart enough to ask you if it should update the package release, if you have not done so. Setting a map spec-setting-a-map ------------- As you should know, you can easily set a map to access any Vim command (or anything, for that matter). If you don't like the default map of <LocalLeader>c, you may just set up your own key. The following line shows you how you could do this in your .vimrc file, mapping the plugin to the <F5> key: au FileType spec map <buffer> <F5> <Plug>SpecChangelog Note: the plugin will respect your desire to change the default mapping and won't set it. This command will add a map only in the spec file buffers. ============================================================================== 2. Customizing spec-customizing The format string spec_chglog_format ----------------- You can easily customize how your spec file entry will look like. To do this just set the variable "spec_chglog_format" in your .vimrc file like this: > let spec_chglog_format = "%a %b %d %Y My Name <my@email.com>" Note that "%a %b %d %Y" is the most used time format. If you don't provide a format string, when you run the SpecChangelog command for the first time, it will ask you an email address and build the \|spec_chglog_format\| variable for you. This way, you will only need to provide your email address once. To discover which format options you can use, take a look at the strftime() function man page. Where to insert new items spec_chglog_prepend ------------------------- The plugin will usually insert new %changelog entry items (note that it's not the entry itself) after the existing ones. If you set the spec_chglog_prepend variable > let spec_chglog_prepend = 1 it will insert new items before the existing ones. Inserting release info spec_chglog_release_info ---------------------- If you want, the plugin may automatically insert release information on each changelog entry. One advantage of turning this feature on is that it may control if the release has been updated after the last change in the package or not. If you have not updated the package version or release, it will ask you if it should update the package release for you. To turn this feature on, just insert the following code in your .vimrc: > let spec_chglog_release_info = 1 Then, the first item in your changelog entry will be something like: > + name-1.0-1cl If you don't like the release updating feature and don't want to answer "No" each time it detects an old release, you may disable it with > let spec_chglog_never_increase_release = 1 Good luck!! vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	4.03 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Usage tar-usage tar-manual When one edits a .tar file, this plugin will handle displaying a contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop the desired file, then hit the <return> key. After editing, one may also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in tar archives via the plugin. :Vimuntar* VIMUNTAR~ :Vimuntar [vimhome] This command copies, if necessary, the tarball to the .vim or vimfiles directory using the first writable directory in the \|'runtimepath'\| when no [vimhome] is specified. Otherwise, the [vimhome] argument allows the user to specify that directory, instead. The copy is done using the command in g:tar_copycmd , which is > cp for cygwin, unix, macunix copy for windows (32, 95, 64, 16) < The extraction is done with the command specified with g:tar_extractcmd , which by default is > "tar -xf" < :TarDiff DIFFERENCING SUPPORT~ :TarDiff [filename] This command will attempt to show the differences between the tarball version of a file and the associated file on the system. In order to find that file on the system, the script uses the path associated with the file mentioned in the tarball. If the current directory is not correct for that path, :TarDiff will fail to find the associated file. If the [filename] is given, that filename (and path) will be used to specify the associated file. PREVENTING LOADING~ If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine tar'd files, you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent the tar plugin from loading: > let g:loaded_tarPlugin= 1 let g:loaded_tar = 1 < ============================================================================== 3.

Vimball History...............................: \|vimball-history\| ============================================================================== 2. Vimball Introduction vimball-intro Vimball is intended to make life simpler for users of plugins. All a user needs to do with a vimball is: > vim someplugin.vba :so % :q < and the plugin and all its components will be installed into their appropriate directories. Note that one doesn't need to be in any particular directory when one does this. Plus, any help for the plugin will also be automatically installed. If a user has decided to use the AsNeeded plugin, vimball is smart enough to put scripts nominally intended for .vim/plugin/ into .vim/AsNeeded/ instead. Removing a plugin that was installed with vimball is really easy: > vim :RmVimball someplugin < This operation is not at all easy for zips and tarballs, for example. Vimball examines the user's \|'runtimepath'\| to determine where to put the scripts. The first directory mentioned on the runtimepath is usually used if possible. Use > :echo &rtp < to see that directory. ============================================================================== 3. Vimball Manual vimball-manual MAKING A VIMBALL :MkVimball :[range]MkVimball[!] filename [path] The range is composed of lines holding paths to files to be included in your new vimball, omitting the portion of the paths that is normally specified by the runtimepath (\|'rtp'\|). As an example: > plugin/something.vim doc/something.txt < using > :[range]MkVimball filename < on this range of lines will create a file called "filename.vba" which can be used by Vimball.vim to re-create these files. If the "filename.vba" file already exists, then MkVimball will issue a warning and not create the file. Note that these paths are relative to your .vim (vimfiles) directory, and the files should be in that directory. The vimball plugin normally uses the first \|'runtimepath'\| directory that exists as a prefix; don't use absolute paths, unless the user has specified such a path. If you use the exclamation point (!), then MkVimball will create the "filename.vba" file, overwriting it if it already exists. This behavior resembles that for \|:w\|. If you wish to force slashes into the filename, that can also be done by using the exclamation mark (ie. :MkVimball! path/filename). The tip at http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_VimBall_with_%27Make%27 has a good idea on how to automate the production of vimballs using make. MAKING DIRECTORIES VIA VIMBALLS g:vimball_mkdir First, the \|mkdir()\| command is tried (not all systems support it). If it doesn't exist, then if g:vimball_mkdir doesn't exist, it is set as follows: > \|g:netrw_localmkdir\|, if it exists "mkdir" , if it is executable "makedir" , if it is executable Otherwise , it is undefined. < One may explicitly specify the directory making command using g:vimball_mkdir. This command is used to make directories that are needed as indicated by the vimball. CONTROLLING THE VIMBALL EXTRACTION DIRECTORY g:vimball_home You may override the use of the \|'runtimepath'\| by specifying a variable, g:vimball_home. vimball-extract vim filename.vba Simply editing a Vimball will cause Vimball.vim to tell the user to source the file to extract its contents. Extraction will only proceed if the first line of a putative vimball file holds the "Vimball Archiver by Charles E. Campbell" line. LISTING FILES IN A VIMBALL :VimballList :VimballList This command will tell Vimball to list the files in the archive, along with their lengths in lines. MANUALLY INVOKING VIMBALL EXTRACTION :UseVimball :UseVimball [path] This command is contained within the vimball itself; it invokes the vimball#Vimball() routine which is responsible for unpacking the vimball. One may choose to execute it by hand instead of sourcing the vimball; one may also choose to specify a path for the installation, thereby overriding the automatic choice of the first existing directory on the \|'runtimepath'\|. REMOVING A VIMBALL :RmVimball :RmVimball vimballfile [path] This command removes all files generated by the specified vimball (but not any directories it may have made). One may choose a path for de-installation, too (see \|'runtimepath'\|); otherwise, the default is the first existing directory on the \|'runtimepath'\|. To implement this, a file (.VimballRecord) is made in that directory containing a record of what files need to be removed for all vimballs used thus far. PREVENTING LOADING If for some reason you don't want to be able to extract plugins using vimballs: you may prevent the loading of vimball.vim by putting the following two variables in your <.vimrc>: > let g:loaded_vimballPlugin= 1 let g:loaded_vimball = 1 < WINDOWS vimball-windows Many vimball files are compressed with gzip. Windows, unfortunately, does not come provided with a tool to decompress gzip'ped files. Fortunately, there are a number of tools available for Windows users to un-gzip files: > Item Tool/Suite Free Website ---- ---------- ---- ------- 7zip tool y http://www.7-zip.org/ Winzip tool n http://www.winzip.com/downwz.htm unxutils suite y http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ cygwin suite y http://www.cygwin.com/ GnuWin32 suite y http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ MinGW suite y http://www.mingw.org/ < ============================================================================== 4.

COMMANDS~ zip-x* x : extract a listed file when the cursor is atop it OPTIONS~ g:zip_nomax If this variable exists and is true, the file window will not be automatically maximized when opened. g:zip_shq Different operating systems may use one or more shells to execute commands. Zip will try to guess the correct quoting mechanism to allow spaces and whatnot in filenames; however, if it is incorrectly guessing the quote to use for your setup, you may use > g:zip_shq < which by default is a single quote under Unix (') and a double quote under Windows ("). If you'd rather have no quotes, simply set g:zip_shq to the empty string (let g:zip_shq= "") in your <.vimrc>. g:zip_unzipcmd Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "unzip". It's used during browsing. By default: > let g:zip_unzipcmd= "unzip" < g:zip_zipcmd Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "zip". It's used during the writing (updating) of a file already in a zip file; by default: > let g:zip_zipcmd= "zip" < g:zip_extractcmd This option specifies the program (and any options needed) used to extract a file from a zip archive. By default, > let g:zip_extractcmd= g:zip_unzipcmd < PREVENTING LOADING~ If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine zipped files, you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent the zip plugin from loading: > let g:loaded_zipPlugin= 1 let g:loaded_zip = 1 < ============================================================================== 3. Additional Extensions zip-extension Apparently there are a number of archivers which generate zip files that don't use the .zip extension (.jar, .xpi, etc). To handle such files, place a line in your <.vimrc> file: > au BufReadCmd .jar,.xpi call zip#Browse(expand("<amatch>")) < One can simply extend this line to accommodate additional extensions that should be treated as zip files. Alternatively, one may change g:zipPlugin_ext in one's .vimrc. Currently (11/30/15) it holds: > let g:zipPlugin_ext= '.zip,.jar,.xpi,.ja,.war,.ear,.celzip, \ .oxt,.kmz,.wsz,.xap,.docx,.docm,.dotx,.dotm,.potx,.potm, \ .ppsx,.ppsm,.pptx,.pptm,.ppam,.sldx,.thmx,.xlam,.xlsx,.xlsm, \ .xlsb,.xltx,.xltm,.xlam,.crtx,.vdw,.glox,.gcsx,.gqsx,.epub' ============================================================================== 4. History zip-history* {{{1 v29 Apr 02, 2017 * (Klartext) reported that an encrypted zip file could opened but the swapfile held unencrypted contents.

Examples \|popup-examples\| {not available if the \|+popupwin\| feature was disabled at compile time} ============================================================================== 1. Introduction popup-intro We are talking about popup windows here, text that goes on top of the regular windows and is under control of a plugin. You cannot edit the text in the popup window like with regular windows. A popup window can be used for such things as: - briefly show a message without overwriting the command line - prompt the user with a dialog - display contextual information while typing - give extra information for auto-completion The text in the popup window can be colored with \|text-properties\|. It is also possible to use syntax highlighting. The default color used is "Pmenu". If you prefer something else use the "highlight" argument or the 'wincolor' option, e.g.: > hi MyPopupColor ctermbg=lightblue guibg=lightblue call setwinvar(winid, '&wincolor', 'MyPopupColor') 'hlsearch' highlighting is not displayed in a popup window. A popup window has a window-ID like other windows, but behaves differently. The size can be up to the whole Vim window and it overlaps other windows. Popup windows can also overlap each other. The "zindex" property specifies what goes on top of what. The popup window contains a buffer, and that buffer is always associated with the popup window. The window cannot be in Normal, Visual or Insert mode, it does not get keyboard focus. You can use functions like `setbufline()` to change the text in the buffer. There are more differences from how this window and buffer behave compared to regular windows and buffers, see \|popup-buffer\|. If this is not what you are looking for, check out other popup functionality: - popup menu, see \|popup-menu\| - balloon, see \|balloon-eval\| WINDOW POSITION AND SIZE popup-position The height of the window is normally equal to the number of, possibly wrapping, lines in the buffer. It can be limited with the "maxheight" property. You can use empty lines to increase the height or the "minheight" property. The width of the window is normally equal to the longest visible line in the buffer. It can be limited with the "maxwidth" property. You can use spaces to increase the width or use the "minwidth" property. By default the 'wrap' option is set, so that no text disappears. Otherwise, if there is not enough space then the window is shifted left in order to display more text. When right-aligned the window is shifted right to display more text. The shifting can be disabled with the "fixed" property. Vim tries to show the popup in the location you specify. In some cases, e.g. when the popup would go outside of the Vim window, it will show it somewhere nearby. E.g. if you use `popup_atcursor()` the popup normally shows just above the current cursor position, but if the cursor is close to the top of the Vim window it will be placed below the cursor position. When the screen scrolls up for output of an Ex command, popups move too, so that they will not cover the output. The current cursor position is displayed even when it is under a popup window. That way you can still see where it is, even though you cannot see the text that it is in. CLOSING THE POPUP WINDOW popup-close Normally the plugin that created the popup window is also in charge of closing it. If somehow a popup hangs around, you can close all of them with: > call popup_clear(1) Some popups, such as notifications, close after a specified time. This can be set with the "time" property on `popup_create()`. Otherwise, a popup can be closed by clicking on the X in the top-right corner or by clicking anywhere inside the popup. This must be enabled with the "close" property. It is set by default for notifications. POPUP BUFFER AND WINDOW popup-buffer If a popup function is called to create a popup from text, a new buffer is created to hold the text and text properties of the popup window. The buffer is always associated with the popup window and manipulation is restricted: - the buffer has no name - 'buftype' is "popup" - 'swapfile' is off - 'bufhidden' is "hide" - 'buflisted' is off - 'undolevels' is -1: no undo at all - all other buffer-local and window-local options are set to their Vim default value. It is possible to change the specifically mentioned options, but anything might break then, so better leave them alone. The window does have a cursor position, but the cursor is not displayed. In fact, the cursor in the underlying window is displayed, as if it peeks through the popup, so you can see where it is. To execute a command in the context of the popup window and buffer use `win_execute()`. Example: > call win_execute(winid, 'syntax enable') Options can be set on the window with `setwinvar()`, e.g.: > call setwinvar(winid, '&wrap', 0) And options can be set on the buffer with `setbufvar()`, e.g.: > call setbufvar(winbufnr(winid), '&filetype', 'java') You can also use `win_execute()` with a ":setlocal" command. TERMINAL IN POPUP WINDOW popup-terminal A special case is running a terminal in a popup window. Many rules are then different: E863 - The popup window always has focus, it is not possible to switch to another window. - When the job ends, the popup window closes. - The popup window can be closed with `popup_close()`, the terminal buffer then becomes hidden. - It is not possible to open a second popup window with a terminal. E861 - The default Pmenu color is only used for the border and padding. To change the color of the terminal itself set the Terminal highlight group before creating the terminal. Setting 'wincolor' later can work but requires the program in the terminal to redraw everything. - The default minimal size is 5 lines of 20 characters; Use the "minwidth" and "minheight" parameters to set a different value. - The terminal size will grow if the program running in the terminal writes text. Set "maxheight" and "maxwidth" to restrict the size. To run a terminal in a popup window, first create the terminal hidden. Then pass the buffer number to popup_create(). Example: > hi link Terminal Search let buf = term_start(['picker', 'Something'], #{hidden: 1, term_finish: 'close'}) let winid = popup_create(buf, #{minwidth: 50, minheight: 20}) ============================================================================== 2. Functions popup-functions Creating a popup window: \|popup_create()\| centered in the screen \|popup_atcursor()\| just above the cursor position, closes when the cursor moves away \|popup_beval()\| at the position indicated by v:beval_ variables, closes when the mouse moves away \|popup_notification()\| show a notification for three seconds \|popup_dialog()\| centered with padding and border \|popup_menu()\| prompt for selecting an item from a list Manipulating a popup window: \|popup_hide()\| hide a popup temporarily \|popup_show()\| show a previously hidden popup \|popup_move()\| change the position and size of a popup \|popup_setoptions()\| override options of a popup \|popup_settext()\| replace the popup buffer contents Closing popup windows: \|popup_close()\| close one popup \|popup_clear()\| close all popups Filter functions: \|popup_filter_menu()\| select from a list of items \|popup_filter_yesno()\| blocks until 'y' or 'n' is pressed Other: \|popup_getoptions()\| get current options for a popup \|popup_getpos()\| get actual position and size of a popup \|popup_locate()\| find popup window at a screen position \|popup_list()\| get list of all popups DETAILS popup-function-details popup_atcursor({what}, {options}) popup_atcursor() Show the {what} above the cursor, and close it when the cursor moves. This works like: > call popup_create({what}, #{ \ pos: 'botleft', \ line: 'cursor-1', \ col: 'cursor', \ moved: 'WORD', \ }) < Use {options} to change the properties. If "pos" is passed as "topleft" then the default for "line" becomes "cursor+1". Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->popup_atcursor({}) popup_beval({what}, {options}) popup_beval() Show the {what} above the position from 'ballooneval' and close it when the mouse moves. This works like: > let pos = screenpos(v:beval_winnr, v:beval_lnum, v:beval_col) call popup_create({what}, #{ \ pos: 'botleft', \ line: pos.row - 1, \ col: pos.col, \ mousemoved: 'WORD', \ }) < Use {options} to change the properties. See \|popup_beval_example\| for an example. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->popup_beval({}) < popup_clear() popup_clear([{force}]) Emergency solution to a misbehaving plugin: close all popup windows for the current tab and global popups. Close callbacks are not invoked. When {force} is not present this will fail if the current window is a popup. When {force} is present and \|TRUE\| the popup is also closed when it is the current window. If a terminal is running in a popup it is killed. popup_close({id} [, {result}]) popup_close() Close popup {id}. The window and the associated buffer will be deleted. If the popup has a callback it will be called just before the popup window is deleted. If the optional {result} is present it will be passed as the second argument of the callback. Otherwise zero is passed to the callback. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPopup()->popup_close() popup_create({what}, {options}) popup_create() Open a popup window showing {what}, which is either: - a buffer number - a string - a list of strings - a list of text lines with text properties When {what} is not a buffer number, a buffer is created with 'buftype' set to "popup". That buffer will be wiped out once the popup closes. {options} is a dictionary with many possible entries. See \|popup_create-arguments\| for details. Returns a window-ID, which can be used with other popup functions. Use `winbufnr()` to get the number of the buffer in the window: > let winid = popup_create('hello', {}) let bufnr = winbufnr(winid) call setbufline(bufnr, 2, 'second line') < In case of failure zero is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->popup_create({}) popup_dialog({what}, {options}) popup_dialog() Just like \|popup_create()\| but with these default options: > call popup_create({what}, #{ \ pos: 'center', \ zindex: 200, \ drag: 1, \ border: [], \ padding: [], \ mapping: 0, \}) < Use {options} to change the properties. E.g. add a 'filter' option with value 'popup_filter_yesno'. Example: > call popup_create('do you want to quit (Yes/no)?', #{ \ filter: 'popup_filter_yesno', \ callback: 'QuitCallback', \ }) < By default the dialog can be dragged, so that text below it can be read if needed. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->popup_dialog({}) popup_filter_menu({id}, {key}) popup_filter_menu() Filter that can be used for a popup. These keys can be used: j <Down> <C-N> select item below k <Up> <C-P> select item above <Space> <Enter> accept current selection x Esc CTRL-C cancel the menu Other keys are ignored. Always returns \|v:true\|. A match is set on that line to highlight it, see \|popup_menu()\|. When the current selection is accepted the "callback" of the popup menu is invoked with the index of the selected line as the second argument. The first entry has index one. Cancelling the menu invokes the callback with -1. To add shortcut keys, see the example here: \|popup_menu-shortcut-example\| popup_filter_yesno({id}, {key}) popup_filter_yesno() Filter that can be used for a popup. It handles only the keys 'y', 'Y' and 'n' or 'N'. Invokes the "callback" of the popup menu with the 1 for 'y' or 'Y' and zero for 'n' or 'N' as the second argument. Pressing Esc and 'x' works like pressing 'n'. CTRL-C invokes the callback with -1. Other keys are ignored. See the example here: \|popup_dialog-example\| popup_findinfo() popup_findinfo() Get the \|window-ID\| for the popup info window, as it used by the popup menu. See \|complete-popup\|. The info popup is hidden when not used, it can be deleted with \|popup_clear()\| and \|popup_close()\|. Use \|popup_show()\| to reposition it to the item in the popup menu. Returns zero if there is none. popup_findpreview() popup_findpreview() Get the \|window-ID\| for the popup preview window. Return zero if there is none. popup_getoptions({id}) popup_getoptions() Return the {options} for popup {id} in a Dict. A zero value means the option was not set. For "zindex" the default value is returned, not zero. The "moved" entry is a list with line number, minimum and maximum column, [0, 0, 0] when not set. The "mousemoved" entry is a list with screen row, minimum and maximum screen column, [0, 0, 0] when not set. "firstline" is the property set on the popup, unlike the "firstline" obtained with \|popup_getpos()\| which is the actual buffer line at the top of the popup window. "border" and "padding" are not included when all values are zero. When all values are one then an empty list is included. "borderhighlight" is not included when all values are empty. "scrollbarhighlight" and "thumbhighlight" are only included when set. "tabpage" will be -1 for a global popup, zero for a popup on the current tabpage and a positive number for a popup on another tabpage. "textprop", "textpropid" and "textpropwin" are only present when "textprop" was set. If popup window {id} is not found an empty Dict is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPopup()->popup_getoptions() popup_getpos({id}) popup_getpos() Return the position and size of popup {id}. Returns a Dict with these entries: col screen column of the popup, one-based line screen line of the popup, one-based width width of the whole popup in screen cells height height of the whole popup in screen cells core_col screen column of the text box core_line screen line of the text box core_width width of the text box in screen cells core_height height of the text box in screen cells firstline line of the buffer at top (1 unless scrolled) (not the value of the "firstline" property) lastline line of the buffer at the bottom (updated when the popup is redrawn) scrollbar non-zero if a scrollbar is displayed visible one if the popup is displayed, zero if hidden Note that these are the actual screen positions. They differ from the values in `popup_getoptions()` for the sizing and positioning mechanism applied. The "core_" values exclude the padding and border. If popup window {id} is not found an empty Dict is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPopup()->popup_getpos() popup_hide({id}) popup_hide() If {id} is a displayed popup, hide it now. If the popup has a filter it will not be invoked for so long as the popup is hidden. If window {id} does not exist nothing happens. If window {id} exists but is not a popup window an error is given. E993 If popup window {id} contains a terminal an error is given. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPopup()->popup_hide() popup_list() popup_list() Return a List with the \|window-ID\| of all existing popups. popup_locate({row}, {col}) popup_locate() Return the \|window-ID\| of the popup at screen position {row} and {col}. If there are multiple popups the one with the highest zindex is returned. If there are no popups at this position then zero is returned. popup_menu({what}, {options}) popup_menu() Show the {what} near the cursor, handle selecting one of the items with cursorkeys, and close it an item is selected with Space or Enter. {what} should have multiple lines to make this useful. This works like: > call popup_create({what}, #{ \ pos: 'center', \ zindex: 200, \ drag: 1, \ wrap: 0, \ border: [], \ cursorline: 1, \ padding: [0,1,0,1], \ filter: 'popup_filter_menu', \ mapping: 0, \ }) < The current line is highlighted with a match using "PopupSelected", or "PmenuSel" if that is not defined. Use {options} to change the properties. Should at least set "callback" to a function that handles the selected item. Example: > func ColorSelected(id, result) " use a:result endfunc call popup_menu(['red', 'green', 'blue'], #{ \ callback: 'ColorSelected', \ }) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetChoices()->popup_menu({}) popup_move({id}, {options}) popup_move() Move popup {id} to the position specified with {options}. {options} may contain the items from \|popup_create()\| that specify the popup position: line col pos maxheight minheight maxwidth minwidth fixed For {id} see `popup_hide()`. For other options see \|popup_setoptions()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPopup()->popup_move(options) popup_notification({what}, {options}) popup_notification() Show the {what} for 3 seconds at the top of the Vim window. This works like: > call popup_create({what}, #{ \ line: 1, \ col: 10, \ minwidth: 20, \ time: 3000, \ tabpage: -1, \ zindex: 300, \ drag: 1, \ highlight: 'WarningMsg', \ border: [], \ close: 'click', \ padding: [0,1,0,1], \ }) < The PopupNotification highlight group is used instead of WarningMsg if it is defined. Without the \|+timers\| feature the popup will not disappear automatically, the user has to click in it. The position will be adjusted to avoid overlap with other notifications. Use {options} to change the properties. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->popup_notification({}) popup_show({id}) popup_show() If {id} is a hidden popup, show it now. For {id} see `popup_hide()`. If {id} is the info popup it will be positioned next to the current popup menu item. popup_setoptions({id}, {options}) popup_setoptions() Override options in popup {id} with entries in {options}. These options can be set: border borderchars borderhighlight callback close cursorline drag filter firstline flip highlight mapping mask moved padding resize scrollbar scrollbarhighlight thumbhighlight time title wrap zindex The options from \|popup_move()\| can also be used. Generally, setting an option to zero or an empty string resets it to the default value, but there are exceptions. For "hidden" use \|popup_hide()\| and \|popup_show()\|. "tabpage" cannot be changed. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPopup()->popup_setoptions(options) popup_settext({id}, {text}) popup_settext() Set the text of the buffer in popup win {id}. {text} is the same as supplied to \|popup_create()\|, except that a buffer number is not allowed. Does not change the window size or position, other than caused by the different text. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPopup()->popup_settext('hello') ============================================================================== 3. Usage popup-usage POPUP_CREATE() ARGUMENTS popup_create-arguments The first argument of \|popup_create()\| (and the second argument to \|popup_settext()\|) specifies the text to be displayed, and optionally text properties. It is in one of four forms: - a buffer number - a string - a list of strings - a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary has these entries: text String with the text to display. props A list of text properties. Optional. Each entry is a dictionary, like the third argument of \|prop_add()\|, but specifying the column in the dictionary with a "col" entry, see below: \|popup-props\|. If you want to create a new buffer yourself use \|bufadd()\| and pass the buffer number to popup_create(). The second argument of \|popup_create()\| is a dictionary with options: line Screen line where to position the popup. Can use a number or "cursor", "cursor+1" or "cursor-1" to use the line of the cursor and add or subtract a number of lines. If omitted or zero the popup is vertically centered. The first line is 1. When using "textprop" the number is relative to the text property and can be negative. col Screen column where to position the popup. Can use a number or "cursor" to use the column of the cursor, "cursor+9" or "cursor-9" to add or subtract a number of columns. If omitted or zero the popup is horizontally centered. The first column is 1. When using "textprop" the number is relative to the text property and can be negative. pos "topleft", "topright", "botleft" or "botright": defines what corner of the popup "line" and "col" are used for. When not set "topleft" is used. Alternatively "center" can be used to position the popup in the center of the Vim window, in which case "line" and "col" are ignored. posinvert When FALSE the value of "pos" is always used. When TRUE (the default) and the popup does not fit vertically and there is more space on the other side then the popup is placed on the other side of the position indicated by "line". textprop When present the popup is positioned next to a text property with this name and will move when the text property moves. Use an empty string to remove. See \|popup-textprop-pos\|. textpropwin What window to search for the text property. When omitted or invalid the current window is used. Used when "textprop" is present. textpropid Used to identify the text property when "textprop" is present. Use zero to reset. fixed When FALSE (the default), and: - "pos" is "botleft" or "topleft", and - "wrap" is off, and - the popup would be truncated at the right edge of the screen, then the popup is moved to the left so as to fit the contents on the screen. Set to TRUE to disable this. flip When TRUE (the default) and the position is relative to the cursor, flip to below or above the cursor to avoid overlap with the \|popupmenu-completion\| or another popup with a higher "zindex". When there is no space above/below the cursor then show the popup to the side of the popup or popup menu. {not implemented yet} maxheight Maximum height of the contents, excluding border and padding. minheight Minimum height of the contents, excluding border and padding. maxwidth Maximum width of the contents, excluding border, padding and scrollbar. minwidth Minimum width of the contents, excluding border, padding and scrollbar. firstline First buffer line to display. When larger than one it looks like the text scrolled up. When out of range the last buffer line will at the top of the window. Set to zero to leave the position as set by commands. Also see "scrollbar". hidden When TRUE the popup exists but is not displayed; use `popup_show()` to unhide it. tabpage When -1: display the popup on all tab pages. When 0 (the default): display the popup on the current tab page. Otherwise the number of the tab page the popup is displayed on; when invalid the popup is not created and an error is given. E997 title Text to be displayed above the first item in the popup, on top of any border. If there is no top border one line of padding is added to put the title on. You might want to add one or more spaces at the start and end as padding. wrap TRUE to make the lines wrap (default TRUE). drag TRUE to allow the popup to be dragged with the mouse by grabbing at the border. Has no effect if the popup does not have a border. As soon as dragging starts and "pos" is "center" it is changed to "topleft". resize TRUE to allow the popup to be resized with the mouse by grabbing at the bottom right corner. Has no effect if the popup does not have a border. close When "button" an X is displayed in the top-right, on top of any border, padding or text. When clicked on the X the popup will close. Any callback is invoked with the value -2. When "click" any mouse click in the popup will close it. When "none" (the default) mouse clicks do not close the popup window. highlight Highlight group name to use for the text, stored in the 'wincolor' option. padding List with numbers, defining the padding above/right/below/left of the popup (similar to CSS). An empty list uses a padding of 1 all around. The padding goes around the text, inside any border. Padding uses the 'wincolor' highlight. Example: [1, 2, 1, 3] has 1 line of padding above, 2 columns on the right, 1 line below and 3 columns on the left. border List with numbers, defining the border thickness above/right/below/left of the popup (similar to CSS). Only values of zero and non-zero are currently recognized. An empty list uses a border all around. borderhighlight List of highlight group names to use for the border. When one entry it is used for all borders, otherwise the highlight for the top/right/bottom/left border. Example: ['TopColor', 'RightColor', 'BottomColor, 'LeftColor'] borderchars List with characters, defining the character to use for the top/right/bottom/left border. Optionally followed by the character to use for the topleft/topright/botright/botleft corner. Example: ['-', '\|', '-', '\|', '┌', '┐', '┘', '└'] When the list has one character it is used for all. When the list has two characters the first is used for the border lines, the second for the corners. By default a double line is used all around when 'encoding' is "utf-8" and 'ambiwidth' is "single", otherwise ASCII characters are used. scrollbar 1 or true: show a scrollbar when the text doesn't fit. zero: do not show a scrollbar. Default is non-zero. Also see \|popup-scrollbar\|. scrollbarhighlight Highlight group name for the scrollbar. The background color is what matters. When not given then PmenuSbar is used. thumbhighlight Highlight group name for the scrollbar thumb. The background color is what matters. When not given then PmenuThumb is used. zindex Priority for the popup, default 50. Minimum value is 1, maximum value is 32000. mask A list of lists with coordinates, defining parts of the popup that are transparent. See \|popup-mask\|. time Time in milliseconds after which the popup will close. When omitted \|popup_close()\| must be used. moved Specifies to close the popup if the cursor moved: - "any": if the cursor moved at all - "word": if the cursor moved outside \|<cword>\| - "WORD": if the cursor moved outside \|<cWORD>\| - "expr": if the cursor moved outside \|<cexpr>\| - [{start}, {end}]: if the cursor moved before column {start} or after {end} - [{lnum}, {start}, {end}]: if the cursor moved away from line {lnum}, before column {start} or after {end} - [0, 0, 0] do not close the popup when the cursor moves The popup also closes if the cursor moves to another line or to another window. mousemoved Like "moved" but referring to the mouse pointer position cursorline TRUE: Highlight the cursor line. Also scrolls the text to show this line (only works properly when 'wrap' is off). zero: Do not highlight the cursor line. Default is zero, except for \|popup_menu()\|. filter A callback that can filter typed characters, see \|popup-filter\|. mapping Allow for key mapping. When FALSE and the popup is visible and has a filter callback key mapping is disabled. Default value is TRUE. filtermode In which modes the filter is used (same flags as with \|hasmapto()\| plus "a"): n Normal mode v Visual and Select mode x Visual mode s Select mode o Operator-pending mode i Insert mode l Language-Argument ("r", "f", "t", etc.) c Command-line mode a all modes The default value is "a". callback A callback that is called when the popup closes, e.g. when using \|popup_filter_menu()\|, see \|popup-callback\|. Depending on the "zindex" the popup goes under or above other popups. The completion menu (\|popup-menu\|) has zindex 100. For messages that occur for a short time the suggestion is to use zindex 1000. By default text wraps, which causes a line in {lines} to occupy more than one screen line. When "wrap" is FALSE then the text outside of the popup or outside of the Vim window will not be displayed, thus truncated. POPUP TEXT PROPERTIES popup-props These are similar to the third argument of \|prop_add()\| except: - "lnum" is always the current line in the list - "bufnr" is always the buffer of the popup - "col" is in the Dict instead of a separate argument So we get: col starting column, counted in bytes, use one for the first column. length length of text in bytes; can be zero end_lnum line number for the end of the text end_col column just after the text; not used when "length" is present; when {col} and "end_col" are equal, this is a zero-width text property id user defined ID for the property; when omitted zero is used type name of the text property type, as added with \|prop_type_add()\| POSITION POPUP WITH TEXTPROP popup-textprop-pos Positioning a popup next to a text property causes the popup to move when text is inserted or deleted. The popup functions like a tooltip. These steps are needed to make this work: - Define a text property type, it defines the name. > call prop_type_add('popupMarker', {}) - Place a text property at the desired text: > let lnum = {line of the text} let col = {start column of the text} let len = {length of the text} let propId = {arbitrary but unique number} call prop_add(lnum, col, #{ \ length: len, \ type: 'popupMarker', \ id: propId, \ }) - Create a popup: > let winid = popup_create('the text', #{ \ pos: 'botleft', \ textprop: 'popupMarker', \ textpropid: propId, \ border: [], \ padding: [0,1,0,1], \ close: 'click', \ }) By default the popup is positioned at the corner of the text, opposite of the "pos" specified for the popup. Thus when the popup uses "botleft", the bottom-left corner of the popup is positioned next to the top-right corner of the text property: +----------+ \| the text \| +----------+ just some PROPERTY as an example Here the text property is on "PROPERTY". Move the popup to the left by passing a negative "col" value to popup_create(). With "col: -5" you get: +----------+ \| the text \| +----------+ just some PROPERTY as an example If the text property moves out of view then the popup will be hidden. If the window for which the popup was defined is closed, the popup is closed. If the popup cannot fit in the desired position, it may show at a nearby position. Some hints: - To avoid collision with other plugins the text property type name has to be unique. You can also use the "bufnr" item to make it local to a buffer. - You can leave out the text property ID if there is only ever one text property visible. - The popup may be in the way of what the user is doing, making it close with a click, as in the example above, helps for that. - If the text property is removed the popup is closed. Use something like this: > call prop_remove(#{type: 'popupMarker', id: propId}) POPUP FILTER popup-filter A callback that gets any typed keys while a popup is displayed. The filter is not invoked when the popup is hidden. The filter can return TRUE to indicate the key has been handled and is to be discarded, or FALSE to let Vim handle the key as usual in the current state. In case it returns FALSE and there is another popup window visible, that filter is also called. The filter of the popup window with the highest zindex is called first. The filter function is called with two arguments: the ID of the popup and the key as a string, e.g.: > func MyFilter(winid, key) if a:key == "\<F2>" " do something return 1 endif if a:key == 'x' call popup_close(a:winid) return 1 endif return 0 endfunc < popup-filter-mode The "filtermode" property can be used to specify in what mode the filter is invoked. The default is "a": all modes. When using "nvi" Command-line mode is not included, so that any command typed on the command line is not filtered. However, to get to Command-line mode the filter must not consume ":". Just like it must not consume "v" to allow for entering Visual mode. popup-mapping Normally the key is what results after any mapping, since the keys pass on as normal input if the filter does not use it. If the filter consumes all the keys, set the "mapping" property to zero so that mappings do not get in the way. This is default for \|popup_menu()\| and \|popup_dialog()\|. Some recommended key actions: x close the popup (see note below) cursor keys select another entry Tab accept current suggestion A mouse click arrives as <LeftMouse>. The coordinates can be obtained with \|getmousepos()\|. Vim provides standard filters \|popup_filter_menu()\| and \|popup_filter_yesno()\|. Keys coming from a `:normal` command do not pass through the filter. This can be used to move the cursor in a popup where the "cursorline" option is set: > call win_execute(winid, 'normal! 10Gzz') Keys coming from `feedkeys()` are passed through the filter. Note that "x" is the normal way to close a popup. You may want to use Esc, but since many keys start with an Esc character, there may be a delay before Vim recognizes the Esc key. If you do use Esc, it is recommended to set the 'ttimeoutlen' option to 100 and set 'timeout' and/or 'ttimeout'. popup-filter-errors If the filter function can't be called, e.g. because the name is wrong, then the popup is closed. If the filter causes an error then it is assumed to return zero. If this happens three times in a row the popup is closed. If the popup gives errors fewer than 10% of the calls then it won't be closed. POPUP CALLBACK popup-callback A callback that is invoked when the popup closes. The callback is invoked with two arguments: the ID of the popup window and the result, which could be an index in the popup lines, or whatever was passed as the second argument of `popup_close()`. If the popup is force-closed, e.g. because the cursor moved or CTRL-C was pressed, the number -1 is passed to the callback. Example: > func SelectedColor(id, result) echo 'choice made: ' .. a:result endfunc POPUP SCROLLBAR popup-scrollbar If the text does not fit in the popup a scrollbar is displayed on the right of the window. This can be disabled by setting the "scrollbar" option to zero. When the scrollbar is displayed mouse scroll events, while the mouse pointer is on the popup, will cause the text to scroll up or down as you would expect. A click in the upper half of the scrollbar will scroll the text down one line. A click in the lower half will scroll the text up one line. However, this is limited so that the popup does not get smaller. POPUP MASK popup-mask To minimize the text that the popup covers, parts of it can be made transparent. This is defined by a "mask" which is a list of lists, where each list has four numbers: col start column, positive for counting from the left, 1 for leftmost, negative for counting from the right, -1 for rightmost endcol last column, like "col" line start line, positive for counting from the top, 1 for top, negative for counting from the bottom, -1 for bottom endline end line, like "line" For example, to make the last 10 columns of the last line transparent: [[-10, -1, -1, -1]] To make the four corners transparent: [[1, 1, 1, 1], [-1, -1, 1, 1], [1, 1, -1, -1], [-1, -1, -1, -1]] ============================================================================== 4.

PostScript Printing Troubleshooting \|postscript-print-trouble\| 7. PostScript Utilities \|postscript-print-util\| 8. Formfeed Characters \|printing-formfeed\| {only available when compiled with the \|+printer\| feature} ============================================================================== 1. Introduction print-intro On MS-Windows Vim can print your text on any installed printer. On other systems a PostScript file is produced. This can be directly sent to a PostScript printer. For other printers a program like ghostscript needs to be used. Note: If you have problems printing with \|:hardcopy\|, an alternative is to use \|:TOhtml\| and print the resulting html file from a browser. :ha :hardcopy E237 E238 E324 :[range]ha[rdcopy][!] [arguments] Send [range] lines (default whole file) to the printer. On MS-Windows a dialog is displayed to allow selection of printer, paper size etc. To skip the dialog, use the [!]. In this case the printer defined by 'printdevice' is used, or, if 'printdevice' is empty, the system default printer. For systems other than MS-Windows, PostScript is written in a temp file and 'printexpr' is used to actually print it. Then [arguments] can be used by 'printexpr' through \|v:cmdarg\|. Otherwise [arguments] is ignored. 'printoptions' can be used to specify paper size, duplex, etc. Note: If you want PDF, there are tools such as "ps2pdf" that can convert the PostScript to PDF. :[range]ha[rdcopy][!] >{filename} As above, but write the resulting PostScript in file {filename}. Things like "%" are expanded \|cmdline-special\| Careful: An existing file is silently overwritten. {only available when compiled with the \|+postscript\| feature} On MS-Windows use the "print to file" feature of the printer driver. Progress is displayed during printing as a page number and a percentage. To abort printing use the interrupt key (CTRL-C or, on MS-systems, CTRL-Break). Printer output is controlled by the 'printfont' and 'printoptions' options. 'printheader' specifies the format of a page header. The printed file is always limited to the selected margins, irrespective of the current window's 'wrap' or 'linebreak' settings. The "wrap" item in 'printoptions' can be used to switch wrapping off. The current highlighting colors are used in the printout, with the following considerations: 1) The normal background is always rendered as white (i.e. blank paper). 2) White text or the default foreground is rendered as black, so that it shows up! 3) If 'background' is "dark", then the colours are darkened to compensate for the fact that otherwise they would be too bright to show up clearly on white paper. ============================================================================== 2. Print options print-options Here are the details for the options that change the way printing is done. For generic info about setting options see \|options.txt\|. pdev-option 'printdevice' 'pdev' string (default empty) global This defines the name of the printer to be used when the \|:hardcopy\| command is issued with a bang (!) to skip the printer selection dialog. On Win32, it should be the printer name exactly as it appears in the standard printer dialog. If the option is empty, then vim will use the system default printer for ":hardcopy!" penc-option E620 'printencoding' 'penc' String (default empty, except for: MS-Windows: cp1252, Macintosh: mac-roman, VMS: dec-mcs, HPUX: hp-roman8, EBCDIC: ebcdic-uk) global Sets the character encoding used when printing. This option tells Vim which print character encoding file from the "print" directory in 'runtimepath' to use. This option will accept any value from \|encoding-names\|. Any recognized names are converted to Vim standard names - see 'encoding' for more details. Names not recognized by Vim will just be converted to lower case and underscores replaced with '-' signs. If 'printencoding' is empty or Vim cannot find the file then it will use 'encoding' (if it is set an 8-bit encoding) to find the print character encoding file. If Vim is unable to find a character encoding file then it will use the "latin1" print character encoding file. When 'encoding' is set to a multibyte encoding, Vim will try to convert characters to the printing encoding for printing (if 'printencoding' is empty then the conversion will be to latin1). Conversion to a printing encoding other than latin1 will require Vim to be compiled with the \|+iconv\| feature. If no conversion is possible then printing will fail. Any characters that cannot be converted will be replaced with upside down question marks. Four print character encoding files are provided to support default Mac, VMS, HPUX, and EBCDIC character encodings and are used by default on these platforms. Code page 1252 print character encoding is used by default on MS-Windows platform. pexpr-option 'printexpr' 'pexpr' String (default: see below) global Expression that is evaluated to print the PostScript produced with \|:hardcopy\|. The file name to be printed is in \|v:fname_in\|. The arguments to the ":hardcopy" command are in \|v:cmdarg\|. The expression must take care of deleting the file after printing it. When there is an error, the expression must return a non-zero number. If there is no error, return zero or an empty string. The default for non MS-Windows or VMS systems is to simply use "lpr" to print the file: > system('lpr' . (&printdevice == '' ? '' : ' -P' . &printdevice) . ' ' . v:fname_in) . delete(v:fname_in) + v:shell_error On MS-Windows machines the default is to copy the file to the currently specified printdevice: > system('copy' . ' ' . v:fname_in . (&printdevice == '' ? ' LPT1:' : (' \"' . &printdevice . '\"'))) . delete(v:fname_in) On VMS machines the default is to send the file to either the default or currently specified printdevice: > system('print' . (&printdevice == '' ? '' : ' /queue=' . &printdevice) . ' ' . v:fname_in) . delete(v:fname_in) If you change this option, using a function is an easy way to avoid having to escape all the spaces. Example: > :set printexpr=PrintFile(v:fname_in) :function PrintFile(fname) : call system("ghostview " . a:fname) : call delete(a:fname) : return v:shell_error :endfunc Be aware that some print programs return control before they have read the file. If you delete the file too soon it will not be printed. These programs usually offer an option to have them remove the file when printing is done. E365 If evaluating the expression fails or it results in a non-zero number, you get an error message. In that case Vim will delete the file. In the default value for non-MS-Windows a trick is used: Adding "v:shell_error" will result in a non-zero number when the system() call fails. This option cannot be set from a \|modeline\| or in the \|sandbox\|, for security reasons. pfn-option E613 'printfont' 'pfn' string (default "courier") global This is the name of the font that will be used for the \|:hardcopy\| command's output. It has the same format as the 'guifont' option, except that only one font may be named, and the special "guifont=" syntax is not available. In the Win32 GUI version this specifies a font name with its extra attributes, as with the 'guifont' option. For other systems, only ":h11" is recognized, where "11" is the point size of the font. When omitted, the point size is 10. pheader-option* 'printheader' 'pheader' string (default "%<%f%h%m%=Page %N") global This defines the format of the header produced in \|:hardcopy\| output. The option is defined in the same way as the 'statusline' option. If Vim has not been compiled with the \|+statusline\| feature, this option has no effect and a simple default header is used, which shows the page number. The same simple header is used when this option is empty. pmbcs-option 'printmbcharset' 'pmbcs' string (default "") global Sets the CJK character set to be used when generating CJK output from \|:hardcopy\|. The following predefined values are currently recognised by Vim: Value Description ~ Chinese GB_2312-80 (Simplified) GBT_12345-90 MAC Apple Mac Simplified Chinese GBT-90_MAC GB/T 12345-90 Apple Mac Simplified Chinese GBK GBK (GB 13000.1-93) ISO10646 ISO 10646-1:1993 Chinese CNS_1993 CNS 11643-1993, Planes 1 & 2 (Traditional) BIG5 ETEN Big5 with ETen extensions ISO10646 ISO 10646-1:1993 Japanese JIS_C_1978 JIS_X_1983 JIS_X_1990 MSWINDOWS Win3.1/95J (JIS X 1997 + NEC + IBM extensions) KANJITALK6 Apple Mac KanjiTalk V6.x KANJITALK7 Apple Mac KanjiTalk V7.x Korean KS_X_1992 MAC Apple Macintosh Korean MSWINDOWS KS X 1992 with MS extensions ISO10646 ISO 10646-1:1993 Only certain combinations of the above values and 'printencoding' are possible. The following tables show the valid combinations: euc-cn gbk ucs-2 utf-8 ~ Chinese GB_2312-80 x (Simplified) GBT_12345-90 x MAC x GBT-90_MAC x GBK x ISO10646 x x euc-tw big5 ucs-2 utf-8 ~ Chinese CNS_1993 x (Traditional) BIG5 x ETEN x ISO10646 x x euc-jp sjis ucs-2 utf-8 ~ Japanese JIS_C_1978 x x JIS_X_1983 x x JIS_X_1990 x x x MSWINDOWS x KANJITALK6 x KANJITALK7 x euc-kr cp949 ucs-2 utf-8 ~ Korean KS_X_1992 x MAC x MSWINDOWS x ISO10646 x x To set up the correct encoding and character set for printing some Japanese text you would do the following; > :set printencoding=euc-jp :set printmbcharset=JIS_X_1983 If 'printmbcharset' is not one of the above values then it is assumed to specify a custom multibyte character set and no check will be made that it is compatible with the value for 'printencoding'. Vim will look for a file defining the character set in the "print" directory in 'runtimepath'. pmbfn-option 'printmbfont' 'pmbfn' string (default "") global This is a comma-separated list of fields for font names to be used when generating CJK output from \|:hardcopy\|. Each font name has to be preceded with a letter indicating the style the font is to be used for as follows: r:{font-name} font to use for normal characters b:{font-name} font to use for bold characters i:{font-name} font to use for italic characters o:{font-name} font to use for bold-italic characters A field with the r: prefix must be specified when doing CJK printing. The other fontname specifiers are optional. If a specifier is missing then another font will be used as follows: if b: is missing, then use r: if i: is missing, then use r: if o: is missing, then use b: Some CJK fonts do not contain characters for codes in the ASCII code range. Also, some characters in the CJK ASCII code ranges differ in a few code points from traditional ASCII characters. There are two additional fields to control printing of characters in the ASCII code range. c:yes Use Courier font for characters in the ASCII c:no (default) code range. a:yes Use ASCII character set for codes in the ASCII a:no (default) code range. The following is an example of specifying two multibyte fonts, one for normal and italic printing and one for bold and bold-italic printing, and using Courier to print codes in the ASCII code range but using the national character set: > :set printmbfont=r:WadaMin-Regular,b:WadaMin-Bold,c:yes < popt-option 'printoptions' 'popt' string (default "") global This is a comma-separated list of items that control the format of the output of \|:hardcopy\|: left:{spec} left margin (default: 10pc) right:{spec} right margin (default: 5pc) top:{spec} top margin (default: 5pc) bottom:{spec} bottom margin (default: 5pc) {spec} is a number followed by "in" for inches, "pt" for points (1 point is 1/72 of an inch), "mm" for millimeters or "pc" for a percentage of the media size. Weird example: left:2in,top:30pt,right:16mm,bottom:3pc If the unit is not recognized there is no error and the default value is used. header:{nr} Number of lines to reserve for the header. Only the first line is actually filled, thus when {nr} is 2 there is one empty line. The header is formatted according to 'printheader'. header:0 Do not print a header. header:2 (default) Use two lines for the header syntax:n Do not use syntax highlighting. This is faster and thus useful when printing large files. syntax:y Do syntax highlighting. syntax:a (default) Use syntax highlighting if the printer appears to be able to print color or grey. number:y Include line numbers in the printed output. number:n (default) No line numbers. wrap:y (default) Wrap long lines. wrap:n Truncate long lines. duplex:off Print on one side. duplex:long (default) Print on both sides (when possible), bind on long side. duplex:short Print on both sides (when possible), bind on short side. collate:y (default) Collating: 1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3 collate:n No collating: 1 1 1, 2 2 2, 3 3 3 jobsplit:n (default) Do all copies in one print job jobsplit:y Do each copy as a separate print job. Useful when doing N-up postprocessing. portrait:y (default) Orientation is portrait. portrait:n Orientation is landscape. a4 letter paper:A4 (default) Paper size: A4 paper:{name} Paper size from this table: {name} size in cm size in inch ~ 10x14 25.4 x 35.57 10 x 14 A3 29.7 x 42 11.69 x 16.54 A4 21 x 29.7 8.27 x 11.69 A5 14.8 x 21 5.83 x 8.27 B4 25 x 35.3 10.12 x 14.33 B5 17.6 x 25 7.17 x 10.12 executive 18.42 x 26.67 7.25 x 10.5 folio 21 x 33 8.27 x 13 ledger 43.13 x 27.96 17 x 11 legal 21.59 x 35.57 8.5 x 14 letter 21.59 x 27.96 8.5 x 11 quarto 21.59 x 27.5 8.5 x 10.83 statement 13.97 x 21.59 5.5 x 8.5 tabloid 27.96 x 43.13 11 x 17 formfeed:n (default) Treat form feed characters (0x0c) as a normal print character. formfeed:y When a form feed character is encountered, continue printing of the current line at the beginning of the first line on a new page. The item indicated with (default) is used when the item is not present. The values are not always used, especially when using a dialog to select the printer and options. Example: > :set printoptions=paper:letter,duplex:off ============================================================================== 3. PostScript Printing postscript-printing E455 E456 E457 E624 Provided you have enough disk space there should be no problems generating a PostScript file. You need to have the runtime files correctly installed (if you can find the help files, they probably are). There are currently a number of limitations with PostScript printing: - 'printfont' - The font name is ignored (the Courier family is always used - it should be available on all PostScript printers) but the font size is used. - 'printoptions' - The duplex setting is used when generating PostScript output, but it is up to the printer to take notice of the setting. If the printer does not support duplex printing then it should be silently ignored. Some printers, however, don't print at all. - 8-bit support - While a number of 8-bit print character encodings are supported it is possible that some characters will not print. Whether a character will print depends on the font in the printer knowing the character. Missing characters will be replaced with an upside down question mark, or a space if that character is also not known by the font. It may be possible to get all the characters in an encoding to print by installing a new version of the Courier font family. - Multi-byte support - Currently Vim will try to convert multibyte characters to the 8-bit encoding specified by 'printencoding' (or latin1 if it is empty). Any characters that are not successfully converted are shown as unknown characters. Printing will fail if Vim cannot convert the multibyte to the 8-bit encoding. ============================================================================== 4. Custom 8-bit Print Character Encodings postscript-print-encoding E618 E619 To use your own print character encoding when printing 8-bit character data you need to define your own PostScript font encoding vector. Details on how to define a font encoding vector is beyond the scope of this help file, but you can find details in the PostScript Language Reference Manual, 3rd Edition, published by Addison-Wesley and available in PDF form at http://www.adobe.com/. The following describes what you need to do for Vim to locate and use your print character encoding. i. Decide on a unique name for your encoding vector, one that does not clash with any of the recognized or standard encoding names that Vim uses (see \|encoding-names\| for a list), and that no one else is likely to use. ii. Copy $VIMRUNTIME/print/latin1.ps to the print subdirectory in your 'runtimepath' and rename it with your unique name. iii. Edit your renamed copy of latin1.ps, replacing all occurrences of latin1 with your unique name (don't forget the line starting %%Title:), and modify the array of glyph names to define your new encoding vector. The array must have exactly 256 entries or you will not be able to print! iv. Within Vim, set 'printencoding' to your unique encoding name and then print your file. Vim will now use your custom print character encoding. Vim will report an error with the resource file if you change the order or content of the first 3 lines, other than the name of the encoding on the line starting %%Title: or the version number on the line starting %%Version:. [Technical explanation for those that know PostScript - Vim looks for a file with the same name as the encoding it will use when printing. The file defines a new PostScript Encoding resource called /VIM-name, where name is the print character encoding Vim will use.] ============================================================================== 5. PostScript CJK Printing postscript-cjk-printing E673 E674 E675 Vim supports printing of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean files. Setting up Vim to correctly print CJK files requires setting up a few more options. Each of these countries has many standard character sets and encodings which require that both be specified when printing. In addition, CJK fonts normally do not have the concept of italic glyphs and use different weight or stroke style to achieve emphasis when printing. This in turn requires a different approach to specifying fonts to use when printing. The encoding and character set are specified with the 'printencoding' and 'printmbcharset' options. If 'printencoding' is not specified then 'encoding' is used as normal. If 'printencoding' is specified then characters will be translated to this encoding for printing. You should ensure that the encoding is compatible with the character set needed for the file contents or some characters may not appear when printed. The fonts to use for CJK printing are specified with 'printmbfont'. This option allows you to specify different fonts to use when printing characters which are syntax highlighted with the font styles normal, italic, bold and bold-italic. No CJK fonts are supplied with Vim. There are some free Korean, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese fonts available at: http://examples.oreilly.com/cjkvinfo/adobe/samples/ You can find descriptions of the various fonts in the read me file at http://examples.oreilly.de/english_examples/cjkvinfo/adobe/00README Please read your printer documentation on how to install new fonts. CJK fonts can be large containing several thousand glyphs, and it is not uncommon to find that they only contain a subset of a national standard. It is not unusual to find the fonts to not include characters for codes in the ASCII code range. If you find half-width Roman characters are not appearing in your printout then you should configure Vim to use the Courier font the half-width ASCII characters with 'printmbfont'. If your font does not include other characters then you will need to find another font that does. Another issue with ASCII characters, is that the various national character sets specify a couple of different glyphs in the ASCII code range. If you print ASCII text using the national character set you may see some unexpected characters. If you want true ASCII code printing then you need to configure Vim to output ASCII characters for the ASCII code range with 'printmbfont'. It is possible to define your own multibyte character set although this should not be attempted lightly. A discussion on the process if beyond the scope of these help files. You can find details on CMap (character map) files in the document 'Adobe CMap and CIDFont Files Specification, Version 1.0', available from http://www.adobe.com as a PDF file. ============================================================================== 6. PostScript Printing Troubleshooting postscript-print-trouble E621 Usually the only sign of a problem when printing with PostScript is that your printout does not appear. If you are lucky you may get a printed page that tells you the PostScript operator that generated the error that prevented the print job completing. There are a number of possible causes as to why the printing may have failed: - Wrong version of the prolog resource file. The prolog resource file contains some PostScript that Vim needs to be able to print. Each version of Vim needs one particular version. Make sure you have correctly installed the runtime files, and don't have any old versions of a file called prolog in the print directory in your 'runtimepath' directory. - Paper size. Some PostScript printers will abort printing a file if they do not support the requested paper size. By default Vim uses A4 paper. Find out what size paper your printer normally uses and set the appropriate paper size with 'printoptions'. If you cannot find the name of the paper used, measure a sheet and compare it with the table of supported paper sizes listed for 'printoptions', using the paper that is closest in both width AND height. Note: The dimensions of actual paper may vary slightly from the ones listed. If there is no paper listed close enough, then you may want to try psresize from PSUtils, discussed below. - Two-sided printing (duplex). Normally a PostScript printer that does not support two-sided printing will ignore any request to do it. However, some printers may abort the job altogether. Try printing with duplex turned off. Note: Duplex prints can be achieved manually using PS utils - see below. - Collated printing. As with Duplex printing, most PostScript printers that do not support collating printouts will ignore a request to do so. Some may not. Try printing with collation turned off. - Syntax highlighting. Some print management code may prevent the generated PostScript file from being printed on a black and white printer when syntax highlighting is turned on, even if solid black is the only color used. Try printing with syntax highlighting turned off. A safe printoptions setting to try is: > :set printoptions=paper:A4,duplex:off,collate:n,syntax:n Replace "A4" with the paper size that best matches your printer paper. ============================================================================== 7. PostScript Utilities postscript-print-util 7.1 Ghostscript Ghostscript is a PostScript and PDF interpreter that can be used to display and print on non-PostScript printers PostScript and PDF files. It can also generate PDF files from PostScript. Ghostscript will run on a wide variety of platforms. There are three available versions: - AFPL Ghostscript (formerly Aladdin Ghostscript) which is free for non-commercial use. It can be obtained from: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ - GNU Ghostscript which is available under the GNU General Public License. It can be obtained from: ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/gnu/ - A commercial version for inclusion in commercial products. Additional information on Ghostscript can also be found at: http://www.ghostscript.com/ Support for a number of non PostScript printers is provided in the distribution as standard, but if you cannot find support for your printer check the Ghostscript site for other printers not included by default. 7.2 Ghostscript Previewers. The interface to Ghostscript is very primitive so a number of graphical front ends have been created. These allow easier PostScript file selection, previewing at different zoom levels, and printing. Check supplied documentation for full details. X11 - Ghostview. Obtainable from: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gv/ - gv. Derived from Ghostview. Obtainable from: http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv/ Copies (possibly not the most recent) can be found at: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gv/ OpenVMS - Is apparently supported in the main code now (untested). See: http://wwwthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/~plass/gv/ MS-Windows - GSview. Obtainable from: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/ Linux - GSview. Linux version of the popular MS-Windows previewer. Obtainable from: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/ - BMV. Different from Ghostview and gv in that it doesn't use X but svgalib. Obtainable from: ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/viewers/svga/bmv-1.2.tgz 7.3 PSUtils PSUtils is a collection of utility programs for manipulating PostScript documents. Binary distributions are available for many platforms, as well as the full source. PSUtils can be found at: http://knackered.org/angus/psutils The utilities of interest include: - psnup. Convert PS files for N-up printing. - psselect. Select page range and order of printing. - psresize. Change the page size. - psbook. Reorder and lay out pages ready for making a book. The output of one program can be used as the input to the next, allowing for complex print document creation. N-UP PRINTING The psnup utility takes an existing PostScript file generated from Vim and convert it to an n-up version. The simplest way to create a 2-up printout is to first create a PostScript file with: > :hardcopy > test.ps Then on your command line execute: > psnup -n 2 test.ps final.ps Note: You may get warnings from some Ghostscript previewers for files produced by psnup - these may safely be ignored. Finally print the file final.ps to your PostScript printer with your platform's print command. (You will need to delete the two PostScript files afterwards yourself.) 'printexpr' could be modified to perform this extra step before printing. ALTERNATE DUPLEX PRINTING It is possible to achieve a poor man's version of duplex printing using the PS utility psselect. This utility has options -e and -o for printing just the even or odd pages of a PS file respectively. First generate a PS file with the 'hardcopy' command, then generate new files with all the odd and even numbered pages with: > psselect -o test.ps odd.ps psselect -e test.ps even.ps Next print odd.ps with your platform's normal print command. Then take the print output, turn it over and place it back in the paper feeder. Now print even.ps with your platform's print command. All the even pages should now appear on the back of the odd pages. There are a couple of points to bear in mind: 1. Position of the first page. If the first page is on top of the printout when printing the odd pages then you need to reverse the order that the odd pages are printed. This can be done with the -r option to psselect. This will ensure page 2 is printed on the back of page 1. Note: it is better to reverse the odd numbered pages rather than the even numbered in case there are an odd number of pages in the original PS file. 2. Paper flipping. When turning over the paper with the odd pages printed on them you may have to either flip them horizontally (along the long edge) or vertically (along the short edge), as well as possibly rotating them 180 degrees. All this depends on the printer - it will be more obvious for desktop ink jets than for small office laser printers where the paper path is hidden from view. ============================================================================== 8. Formfeed Characters printing-formfeed By default Vim does not do any special processing of \|formfeed\| control characters. Setting the 'printoptions' formfeed item will make Vim recognize formfeed characters and continue printing the current line at the beginning of the first line on a new page. The use of formfeed characters provides rudimentary print control but there are certain things to be aware of. Vim will always start printing a line (including a line number if enabled) containing a formfeed character, even if it is the first character on the line. This means if a line starting with a formfeed character is the first line of a page then Vim will print a blank page. Since the line number is printed at the start of printing the line containing the formfeed character, the remainder of the line printed on the new page will not have a line number printed for it (in the same way as the wrapped lines of a long line when wrap in 'printoptions' is enabled). If the formfeed character is the last character on a line, then printing will continue on the second line of the new page, not the first. This is due to Vim processing the end of the line after the formfeed character and moving down a line to continue printing. Due to the points made above it is recommended that when formfeed character processing is enabled, printing of line numbers is disabled, and that form feed characters are not the last character on a line. Even then you may need to adjust the number of lines before a formfeed character to prevent accidental blank pages. ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	30.3 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 quickfix.txt quickfix.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Feb 05 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar This subject is introduced in section \|30.1\| of the user manual. 1. Using QuickFix commands \|quickfix\| 2. The error window \|quickfix-window\| 3. Using more than one list of errors \|quickfix-error-lists\| 4. Using :make \|:make_makeprg\| 5. Using :grep \|grep\| 6. Selecting a compiler \|compiler-select\| 7. The error format \|error-file-format\| 8. The directory stack \|quickfix-directory-stack\| 9. Specific error file formats \|errorformats\| 10. Customizing the quickfix window \|quickfix-window-function\| The quickfix commands are not available when the \|+quickfix\| feature was disabled at compile time. ============================================================================= 1. Using QuickFix commands quickfix Quickfix E42 Vim has a special mode to speedup the edit-compile-edit cycle. This is inspired by the quickfix option of the Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga. The idea is to save the error messages from the compiler in a file and use Vim to jump to the errors one by one. You can examine each problem and fix it, without having to remember all the error messages. In Vim the quickfix commands are used more generally to find a list of positions in files. For example, \|:vimgrep\| finds pattern matches. You can use the positions in a script with the \|getqflist()\| function. Thus you can do a lot more than the edit/compile/fix cycle! If you have the error messages in a file you can start Vim with: > vim -q filename From inside Vim an easy way to run a command and handle the output is with the \|:make\| command (see below). The 'errorformat' option should be set to match the error messages from your compiler (see \|errorformat\| below). quickfix-ID Each quickfix list has a unique identifier called the quickfix ID and this number will not change within a Vim session. The \|getqflist()\| function can be used to get the identifier assigned to a list. There is also a quickfix list number which may change whenever more than ten lists are added to a quickfix stack. location-list E776 A location list is a window-local quickfix list. You get one after commands like `:lvimgrep`, `:lgrep`, `:lhelpgrep`, `:lmake`, etc., which create a location list instead of a quickfix list as the corresponding `:vimgrep`, `:grep`, `:helpgrep`, `:make` do. location-list-file-window A location list is associated with a window and each window can have a separate location list. A location list can be associated with only one window. The location list is independent of the quickfix list. When a window with a location list is split, the new window gets a copy of the location list. When there are no longer any references to a location list, the location list is destroyed. quickfix-changedtick Every quickfix and location list has a read-only changedtick variable that tracks the total number of changes made to the list. Every time the quickfix list is modified, this count is incremented. This can be used to perform an action only when the list has changed. The \|getqflist()\| and \|getloclist()\| functions can be used to query the current value of changedtick. You cannot change the changedtick variable. The following quickfix commands can be used. The location list commands are similar to the quickfix commands, replacing the 'c' prefix in the quickfix command with 'l'. E924 If the current window was closed by an \|autocommand\| while processing a location list command, it will be aborted. E925 E926 If the current quickfix or location list was changed by an \|autocommand\| while processing a quickfix or location list command, it will be aborted. :cc :cc[!] [nr] Display error [nr]. If [nr] is omitted, the same :[nr]cc[!] error is displayed again. Without [!] this doesn't work when jumping to another buffer, the current buffer has been changed, there is the only window for the buffer and both 'hidden' and 'autowrite' are off. When jumping to another buffer with [!] any changes to the current buffer are lost, unless 'hidden' is set or there is another window for this buffer. The 'switchbuf' settings are respected when jumping to a buffer. When used in the quickfix window the line number can be used, including "." for the current line and "$" for the last line. :ll :ll[!] [nr] Same as ":cc", except the location list for the :[nr]ll[!] current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cn :cne :cnext E553 :[count]cn[ext][!] Display the [count] next error in the list that includes a file name. If there are no file names at all, go to the [count] next error. See \|:cc\| for [!] and 'switchbuf'. :lne :lnext :[count]lne[xt][!] Same as ":cnext", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :[count]cN[ext][!] :cp :cprevious :cprev :cN :cNext :[count]cp[revious][!] Display the [count] previous error in the list that includes a file name. If there are no file names at all, go to the [count] previous error. See \|:cc\| for [!] and 'switchbuf'. :[count]lN[ext][!] :lp :lprevious :lprev :lN :lNext :[count]lp[revious][!] Same as ":cNext" and ":cprevious", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cabo :cabove :[count]cabo[ve] Go to the [count] error above the current line in the current buffer. If [count] is omitted, then 1 is used. If there are no errors, then an error message is displayed. Assumes that the entries in a quickfix list are sorted by their buffer number and line number. If there are multiple errors on the same line, then only the first entry is used. If [count] exceeds the number of entries above the current line, then the first error in the file is selected. :lab :labove :[count]lab[ove] Same as ":cabove", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cbel :cbelow :[count]cbel[ow] Go to the [count] error below the current line in the current buffer. If [count] is omitted, then 1 is used. If there are no errors, then an error message is displayed. Assumes that the entries in a quickfix list are sorted by their buffer number and line number. If there are multiple errors on the same line, then only the first entry is used. If [count] exceeds the number of entries below the current line, then the last error in the file is selected. :lbel :lbelow :[count]lbel[ow] Same as ":cbelow", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cbe :cbefore :[count]cbe[fore] Go to the [count] error before the current cursor position in the current buffer. If [count] is omitted, then 1 is used. If there are no errors, then an error message is displayed. Assumes that the entries in a quickfix list are sorted by their buffer, line and column numbers. If [count] exceeds the number of entries before the current position, then the first error in the file is selected. :lbe :lbefore :[count]lbe[fore] Same as ":cbefore", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :caf :cafter :[count]caf[ter] Go to the [count] error after the current cursor position in the current buffer. If [count] is omitted, then 1 is used. If there are no errors, then an error message is displayed. Assumes that the entries in a quickfix list are sorted by their buffer, line and column numbers. If [count] exceeds the number of entries after the current position, then the last error in the file is selected. :laf :lafter :[count]laf[ter] Same as ":cafter", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cnf :cnfile :[count]cnf[ile][!] Display the first error in the [count] next file in the list that includes a file name. If there are no file names at all or if there is no next file, go to the [count] next error. See \|:cc\| for [!] and 'switchbuf'. :lnf :lnfile :[count]lnf[ile][!] Same as ":cnfile", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :[count]cNf[ile][!] :cpf :cpfile :cNf :cNfile :[count]cpf[ile][!] Display the last error in the [count] previous file in the list that includes a file name. If there are no file names at all or if there is no next file, go to the [count] previous error. See \|:cc\| for [!] and 'switchbuf'. :[count]lNf[ile][!] :lpf :lpfile :lNf :lNfile :[count]lpf[ile][!] Same as ":cNfile" and ":cpfile", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :crewind :cr :cr[ewind][!] [nr] Display error [nr]. If [nr] is omitted, the FIRST error is displayed. See \|:cc\|. :lrewind :lr :lr[ewind][!] [nr] Same as ":crewind", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cfirst :cfir :cfir[st][!] [nr] Same as ":crewind". :lfirst :lfir :lfir[st][!] [nr] Same as ":lrewind". :clast :cla :cla[st][!] [nr] Display error [nr]. If [nr] is omitted, the LAST error is displayed. See \|:cc\|. :llast :lla :lla[st][!] [nr] Same as ":clast", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cq :cquit :cq[uit][!] :{N}cq[uit][!] :cq[uit][!] {N} Quit Vim with error code {N}. {N} defaults to one. Useful when Vim is called from another program: e.g., a compiler will not compile the same file again, `git commit` will abort the committing process, `fc` (built-in for shells like bash and zsh) will not execute the command, etc. {N} can also be zero, in which case Vim exits normally. WARNING: All changes in files are lost! Also when the [!] is not used. It works like ":qall!" \|:qall\|, except that Vim returns a non-zero exit code. :cf :cfile :cf[ile][!] [errorfile] Read the error file and jump to the first error. This is done automatically when Vim is started with the -q option. You can use this command when you keep Vim running while compiling. If you give the name of the errorfile, the 'errorfile' option will be set to [errorfile]. See \|:cc\| for [!]. If the encoding of the error file differs from the 'encoding' option, you can use the 'makeencoding' option to specify the encoding. :lf :lfi :lfile :lf[ile][!] [errorfile] Same as ":cfile", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. You can not use the -q command-line option to set the location list. :cg[etfile] [errorfile] :cg :cgetfile Read the error file. Just like ":cfile" but don't jump to the first error. If the encoding of the error file differs from the 'encoding' option, you can use the 'makeencoding' option to specify the encoding. :lg[etfile] [errorfile] :lg :lge :lgetfile Same as ":cgetfile", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :caddf :caddfile :caddf[ile] [errorfile] Read the error file and add the errors from the errorfile to the current quickfix list. If a quickfix list is not present, then a new list is created. If the encoding of the error file differs from the 'encoding' option, you can use the 'makeencoding' option to specify the encoding. :laddf :laddfile :laddf[ile] [errorfile] Same as ":caddfile", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cb :cbuffer E681 :cb[uffer][!] [bufnr] Read the error list from the current buffer. When [bufnr] is given it must be the number of a loaded buffer. That buffer will then be used instead of the current buffer. A range can be specified for the lines to be used. Otherwise all lines in the buffer are used. See \|:cc\| for [!]. :lb :lbuffer :lb[uffer][!] [bufnr] Same as ":cbuffer", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cgetb :cgetbuffer :cgetb[uffer] [bufnr] Read the error list from the current buffer. Just like ":cbuffer" but don't jump to the first error. :lgetb :lgetbuffer :lgetb[uffer] [bufnr] Same as ":cgetbuffer", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cad :cadd :caddbuffer :cad[dbuffer] [bufnr] Read the error list from the current buffer and add the errors to the current quickfix list. If a quickfix list is not present, then a new list is created. Otherwise, same as ":cbuffer". :laddb :laddbuffer :laddb[uffer] [bufnr] Same as ":caddbuffer", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cex :cexpr E777 :cex[pr][!] {expr} Create a quickfix list using the result of {expr} and jump to the first error. If {expr} is a String, then each newline terminated line in the String is processed using the global value of 'errorformat' and the result is added to the quickfix list. If {expr} is a List, then each String item in the list is processed and added to the quickfix list. Non String items in the List are ignored. See \|:cc\| for [!]. Examples: > :cexpr system('grep -n xyz ') :cexpr getline(1, '$') < :lex* :lexpr :lex[pr][!] {expr} Same as \|:cexpr\|, except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cgete :cgetexpr :cgete[xpr] {expr} Create a quickfix list using the result of {expr}. Just like \|:cexpr\|, but don't jump to the first error. :lgete :lgetexpr :lgete[xpr] {expr} Same as \|:cgetexpr\|, except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cadde :caddexpr :cadde[xpr] {expr} Evaluate {expr} and add the resulting lines to the current quickfix list. If a quickfix list is not present, then a new list is created. The current cursor position will not be changed. See \|:cexpr\| for more information. Example: > :g/mypattern/caddexpr expand("%") . ":" . line(".") . ":" . getline(".") < :lad :addd :laddexpr :lad[dexpr] {expr} Same as ":caddexpr", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :cl :clist :cl[ist] [from] [, [to]] List all errors that are valid \|quickfix-valid\|. If numbers [from] and/or [to] are given, the respective range of errors is listed. A negative number counts from the last error backwards, -1 being the last error. The 'switchbuf' settings are respected when jumping to a buffer. The \|:filter\| command can be used to display only the quickfix entries matching a supplied pattern. The pattern is matched against the filename, module name, pattern and text of the entry. :cl[ist] +{count} List the current and next {count} valid errors. This is similar to ":clist from from+count", where "from" is the current error position. :cl[ist]! [from] [, [to]] List all errors. :cl[ist]! +{count} List the current and next {count} error lines. This is useful to see unrecognized lines after the current one. For example, if ":clist" shows: 8384 testje.java:252: error: cannot find symbol ~ Then using ":cl! +3" shows the reason: 8384 testje.java:252: error: cannot find symbol ~ 8385: ZexitCode = Fmainx(); ~ 8386: ^ ~ 8387: symbol: method Fmainx() ~ :lli[st] [from] [, [to]] :lli :llist Same as ":clist", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :lli[st]! [from] [, [to]] List all the entries in the location list for the current window. If you insert or delete lines, mostly the correct error location is still found because hidden marks are used. Sometimes, when the mark has been deleted for some reason, the message "line changed" is shown to warn you that the error location may not be correct. If you quit Vim and start again the marks are lost and the error locations may not be correct anymore. Two autocommands are available for running commands before and after a quickfix command (':make', ':grep' and so on) is executed. See \|QuickFixCmdPre\| and \|QuickFixCmdPost\| for details. QuickFixCmdPost-example When 'encoding' differs from the locale, the error messages may have a different encoding from what Vim is using. To convert the messages you can use this code: > function QfMakeConv() let qflist = getqflist() for i in qflist let i.text = iconv(i.text, "cp936", "utf-8") endfor call setqflist(qflist) endfunction au QuickfixCmdPost make call QfMakeConv() Another option is using 'makeencoding'. quickfix-title Every quickfix and location list has a title. By default the title is set to the command that created the list. The \|getqflist()\| and \|getloclist()\| functions can be used to get the title of a quickfix and a location list respectively. The \|setqflist()\| and \|setloclist()\| functions can be used to modify the title of a quickfix and location list respectively. Examples: > call setqflist([], 'a', {'title' : 'Cmd output'}) echo getqflist({'title' : 1}) call setloclist(3, [], 'a', {'title' : 'Cmd output'}) echo getloclist(3, {'title' : 1}) < quickfix-index When you jump to a quickfix/location list entry using any of the quickfix commands (e.g. \|:cc\|, \|:cnext\|, \|:cprev\|, etc.), that entry becomes the currently selected entry. The index of the currently selected entry in a quickfix/location list can be obtained using the getqflist()/getloclist() functions. Examples: > echo getqflist({'idx' : 0}).idx echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'idx' : 0}).idx echo getloclist(2, {'idx' : 0}).idx < For a new quickfix list, the first entry is selected and the index is 1. Any entry in any quickfix/location list can be set as the currently selected entry using the setqflist() function. Examples: > call setqflist([], 'a', {'idx' : 12}) call setqflist([], 'a', {'id' : qfid, 'idx' : 7}) call setloclist(1, [], 'a', {'idx' : 7}) < quickfix-size You can get the number of entries (size) in a quickfix and a location list using the \|getqflist()\| and \|getloclist()\| functions respectively. Examples: > echo getqflist({'size' : 1}) echo getloclist(5, {'size' : 1}) < quickfix-context Any Vim type can be associated as a context with a quickfix or location list. The \|setqflist()\| and the \|setloclist()\| functions can be used to associate a context with a quickfix and a location list respectively. The \|getqflist()\| and the \|getloclist()\| functions can be used to retrieve the context of a quickfix and a location list respectively. This is useful for a Vim plugin dealing with multiple quickfix/location lists. Examples: > let somectx = {'name' : 'Vim', 'type' : 'Editor'} call setqflist([], 'a', {'context' : somectx}) echo getqflist({'context' : 1}) let newctx = ['red', 'green', 'blue'] call setloclist(2, [], 'a', {'id' : qfid, 'context' : newctx}) echo getloclist(2, {'id' : qfid, 'context' : 1}) < quickfix-parse You can parse a list of lines using 'errorformat' without creating or modifying a quickfix list using the \|getqflist()\| function. Examples: > echo getqflist({'lines' : ["F1:10:Line10", "F2:20:Line20"]}) echo getqflist({'lines' : systemlist('grep -Hn quickfix ')}) This returns a dictionary where the 'items' key contains the list of quickfix entries parsed from lines. The following shows how to use a custom 'errorformat' to parse the lines without modifying the 'errorformat' option: > echo getqflist({'efm' : '%f#%l#%m', 'lines' : ['F1#10#Line']}) < EXECUTE A COMMAND IN ALL THE BUFFERS IN QUICKFIX OR LOCATION LIST: :cdo* :cdo[!] {cmd} Execute {cmd} in each valid entry in the quickfix list. It works like doing this: > :cfirst :{cmd} :cnext :{cmd} etc. < When the current file can't be \|abandon\|ed and the [!] is not present, the command fails. When going to the next entry fails execution stops. The last buffer (or where an error occurred) becomes the current buffer. {cmd} can contain '\|' to concatenate several commands. Only valid entries in the quickfix list are used. A range can be used to select entries, e.g.: > :10,$cdo cmd < To skip entries 1 to 9. Note: While this command is executing, the Syntax autocommand event is disabled by adding it to 'eventignore'. This considerably speeds up editing each buffer. Also see \|:bufdo\|, \|:tabdo\|, \|:argdo\|, \|:windo\|, \|:ldo\|, \|:cfdo\| and \|:lfdo\|. :cfdo :cfdo[!] {cmd} Execute {cmd} in each file in the quickfix list. It works like doing this: > :cfirst :{cmd} :cnfile :{cmd} etc. < Otherwise it works the same as `:cdo`. :ldo :ld[o][!] {cmd} Execute {cmd} in each valid entry in the location list for the current window. It works like doing this: > :lfirst :{cmd} :lnext :{cmd} etc. < Only valid entries in the location list are used. Otherwise it works the same as `:cdo`. :lfdo :lfdo[!] {cmd} Execute {cmd} in each file in the location list for the current window. It works like doing this: > :lfirst :{cmd} :lnfile :{cmd} etc. < Otherwise it works the same as `:ldo`. FILTERING A QUICKFIX OR LOCATION LIST: cfilter-plugin :Cfilter :Lfilter If you have too many entries in a quickfix list, you can use the cfilter plugin to reduce the number of entries. Load the plugin with: > packadd cfilter Then you can use the following commands to filter a quickfix/location list: > :Cfilter[!] /{pat}/ :Lfilter[!] /{pat}/ The \|:Cfilter\| command creates a new quickfix list from the entries matching {pat} in the current quickfix list. {pat} is a Vim \|regular-expression\| pattern. Both the file name and the text of the entries are matched against {pat}. If the optional ! is supplied, then the entries not matching {pat} are used. The pattern can be optionally enclosed using one of the following characters: ', ", /. If the pattern is empty, then the last used search pattern is used. The \|:Lfilter\| command does the same as \|:Cfilter\| but operates on the current location list. ============================================================================= 2. The error window quickfix-window :cope :copen w:quickfix_title :cope[n] [height] Open a window to show the current list of errors. When [height] is given, the window becomes that high (if there is room). When [height] is omitted the window is made ten lines high. If there already is a quickfix window, it will be made the current window. It is not possible to open a second quickfix window. If [height] is given the existing window will be resized to it. quickfix-buffer The window will contain a special buffer, with 'buftype' equal to "quickfix". Don't change this! The window will have the w:quickfix_title variable set which will indicate the command that produced the quickfix list. This can be used to compose a custom status line if the value of 'statusline' is adjusted properly. Whenever this buffer is modified by a quickfix command or function, the \|b:changedtick\| variable is incremented. You can get the number of this buffer using the getqflist() and getloclist() functions by passing the 'qfbufnr' item. For a location list, this buffer is wiped out when the location list is removed. :lop :lopen :lop[en] [height] Open a window to show the location list for the current window. Works only when the location list for the current window is present. You can have more than one location window opened at a time. Otherwise, it acts the same as ":copen". :ccl :cclose :ccl[ose] Close the quickfix window. :lcl :lclose :lcl[ose] Close the window showing the location list for the current window. :cw :cwindow :cw[indow] [height] Open the quickfix window when there are recognized errors. If the window is already open and there are no recognized errors, close the window. :lw :lwindow :lw[indow] [height] Same as ":cwindow", except use the window showing the location list for the current window. :cbo :cbottom :cbo[ttom] Put the cursor in the last line of the quickfix window and scroll to make it visible. This is useful for when errors are added by an asynchronous callback. Only call it once in a while if there are many updates to avoid a lot of redrawing. :lbo :lbottom :lbo[ttom] Same as ":cbottom", except use the window showing the location list for the current window. Normally the quickfix window is at the bottom of the screen. If there are vertical splits, it's at the bottom of the rightmost column of windows. To make it always occupy the full width: > :botright cwindow You can move the window around with \|window-moving\| commands. For example, to move it to the top: CTRL-W K The 'winfixheight' option will be set, which means that the window will mostly keep its height, ignoring 'winheight' and 'equalalways'. You can change the height manually (e.g., by dragging the status line above it with the mouse). In the quickfix window, each line is one error. The line number is equal to the error number. The current entry is highlighted with the QuickFixLine highlighting. You can change it to your liking, e.g.: > :hi QuickFixLine ctermbg=Yellow guibg=Yellow You can use ":.cc" to jump to the error under the cursor. Hitting the <Enter> key or double-clicking the mouse on a line has the same effect. The file containing the error is opened in the window above the quickfix window. If there already is a window for that file, it is used instead. If the buffer in the used window has changed, and the error is in another file, jumping to the error will fail. You will first have to make sure the window contains a buffer which can be abandoned. CTRL-W_<Enter> CTRL-W_<CR> You can use CTRL-W <Enter> to open a new window and jump to the error there. When the quickfix window has been filled, two autocommand events are triggered. First the 'filetype' option is set to "qf", which triggers the FileType event (also see \|qf.vim\|). Then the BufReadPost event is triggered, using "quickfix" for the buffer name. This can be used to perform some action on the listed errors. Example: > au BufReadPost quickfix setlocal modifiable \ \| silent exe 'g/^/s//\=line(".")." "/' \ \| setlocal nomodifiable This prepends the line number to each line. Note the use of "\=" in the substitute string of the ":s" command, which is used to evaluate an expression. The BufWinEnter event is also triggered, again using "quickfix" for the buffer name. Note: When adding to an existing quickfix list the autocommand are not triggered. Note: Making changes in the quickfix window has no effect on the list of errors. 'modifiable' is off to avoid making changes. If you delete or insert lines anyway, the relation between the text and the error number is messed up. If you really want to do this, you could write the contents of the quickfix window to a file and use ":cfile" to have it parsed and used as the new error list. location-list-window The location list window displays the entries in a location list. When you open a location list window, it is created below the current window and displays the location list for the current window. The location list window is similar to the quickfix window, except that you can have more than one location list window open at a time. When you use a location list command in this window, the displayed location list is used. When you select a file from the location list window, the following steps are used to find a window to edit the file: 1. If a window with the location list displayed in the location list window is present, then the file is opened in that window. 2. If the above step fails and if the file is already opened in another window, then that window is used. 3. If the above step fails then an existing window showing a buffer with 'buftype' not set is used. 4. If the above step fails, then the file is edited in a new window. In all of the above cases, if the location list for the selected window is not yet set, then it is set to the location list displayed in the location list window. quickfix-window-ID You can use the \|getqflist()\| and \|getloclist()\| functions to obtain the window ID of the quickfix window and location list window respectively (if present). Examples: > echo getqflist({'winid' : 1}).winid echo getloclist(2, {'winid' : 1}).winid < getqflist-examples The \|getqflist()\| and \|getloclist()\| functions can be used to get the various attributes of a quickfix and location list respectively. Some examples for using these functions are below: > " get the title of the current quickfix list :echo getqflist({'title' : 0}).title " get the identifier of the current quickfix list :let qfid = getqflist({'id' : 0}).id " get the identifier of the fourth quickfix list in the stack :let qfid = getqflist({'nr' : 4, 'id' : 0}).id " check whether a quickfix list with a specific identifier exists :if getqflist({'id' : qfid}).id == qfid " get the index of the current quickfix list in the stack :let qfnum = getqflist({'nr' : 0}).nr " get the items of a quickfix list specified by an identifier :echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'items' : 0}).items " get the number of entries in a quickfix list specified by an id :echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'size' : 0}).size " get the context of the third quickfix list in the stack :echo getqflist({'nr' : 3, 'context' : 0}).context " get the number of quickfix lists in the stack :echo getqflist({'nr' : '$'}).nr " get the number of times the current quickfix list is changed :echo getqflist({'changedtick' : 0}).changedtick " get the current entry in a quickfix list specified by an identifier :echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'idx' : 0}).idx " get all the quickfix list attributes using an identifier :echo getqflist({'id' : qfid, 'all' : 0}) " parse text from a List of lines and return a quickfix list :let myList = ["a.java:10:L10", "b.java:20:L20"] :echo getqflist({'lines' : myList}).items " parse text using a custom 'efm' and return a quickfix list :echo getqflist({'lines' : ['a.c#10#Line 10'], 'efm':'%f#%l#%m'}).items " get the quickfix list window id :echo getqflist({'winid' : 0}).winid " get the quickfix list window buffer number :echo getqflist({'qfbufnr' : 0}).qfbufnr " get the context of the current location list :echo getloclist(0, {'context' : 0}).context " get the location list window id of the third window :echo getloclist(3, {'winid' : 0}).winid " get the location list window buffer number of the third window :echo getloclist(3, {'qfbufnr' : 0}).qfbufnr " get the file window id of a location list window (winnr: 4) :echo getloclist(4, {'filewinid' : 0}).filewinid < setqflist-examples The \|setqflist()\| and \|setloclist()\| functions can be used to set the various attributes of a quickfix and location list respectively. Some examples for using these functions are below: > " create an empty quickfix list with a title and a context :let t = 'Search results' :let c = {'cmd' : 'grep'} :call setqflist([], ' ', {'title' : t, 'context' : c}) " set the title of the current quickfix list :call setqflist([], 'a', {'title' : 'Mytitle'}) " change the current entry in the list specified by an identifier :call setqflist([], 'a', {'id' : qfid, 'idx' : 10}) " set the context of a quickfix list specified by an identifier :call setqflist([], 'a', {'id' : qfid, 'context' : {'val' : 100}}) " create a new quickfix list from a command output :call setqflist([], ' ', {'lines' : systemlist('grep -Hn main .c')}) " parse text using a custom efm and add to a particular quickfix list :call setqflist([], 'a', {'id' : qfid, \ 'lines' : ["a.c#10#L10", "b.c#20#L20"], 'efm':'%f#%l#%m'}) " add items to the quickfix list specified by an identifier :let newItems = [{'filename' : 'a.txt', 'lnum' : 10, 'text' : "Apple"}, \ {'filename' : 'b.txt', 'lnum' : 20, 'text' : "Orange"}] :call setqflist([], 'a', {'id' : qfid, 'items' : newItems}) " empty a quickfix list specified by an identifier :call setqflist([], 'r', {'id' : qfid, 'items' : []}) " free all the quickfix lists in the stack :call setqflist([], 'f') " set the title of the fourth quickfix list :call setqflist([], 'a', {'nr' : 4, 'title' : 'SomeTitle'}) " create a new quickfix list at the end of the stack :call setqflist([], ' ', {'nr' : '$', \ 'lines' : systemlist('grep -Hn class .java')}) " create a new location list from a command output :call setloclist(0, [], ' ', {'lines' : systemlist('grep -Hn main .c')}) " replace the location list entries for the third window :call setloclist(3, [], 'r', {'items' : newItems}) < ============================================================================= 3. Using more than one list of errors quickfix-error-lists* So far has been assumed that there is only one list of errors. Actually the ten last used lists are remembered. When starting a new list, the previous ones are automatically kept. Two commands can be used to access older error lists. They set one of the existing error lists as the current one. :colder :col E380 :col[der] [count] Go to older error list. When [count] is given, do this [count] times. When already at the oldest error list, an error message is given. :lolder :lol :lol[der] [count] Same as `:colder`, except use the location list for the current window instead of the quickfix list. :cnewer :cnew E381 :cnew[er] [count] Go to newer error list. When [count] is given, do this [count] times. When already at the newest error list, an error message is given. :lnewer :lnew :lnew[er] [count] Same as `:cnewer`, except use the location list for the current window instead of the quickfix list. :chistory :chi :[count]chi[story] Show the list of error lists. The current list is marked with ">". The output looks like: error list 1 of 3; 43 errors ~ > error list 2 of 3; 0 errors ~ error list 3 of 3; 15 errors ~ When [count] is given, then the count'th quickfix list is made the current list. Example: > " Make the 4th quickfix list current :4chistory < :lhistory :lhi :[count]lhi[story] Show the list of location lists, otherwise like `:chistory`. When adding a new error list, it becomes the current list. When ":colder" has been used and ":make" or ":grep" is used to add a new error list, one newer list is overwritten. This is especially useful if you are browsing with ":grep" \|grep\|. If you want to keep the more recent error lists, use ":cnewer 99" first. To get the number of lists in the quickfix and location list stack, you can use the \|getqflist()\| and \|getloclist()\| functions respectively with the list number set to the special value '$'. Examples: > echo getqflist({'nr' : '$'}).nr echo getloclist(3, {'nr' : '$'}).nr To get the number of the current list in the stack: > echo getqflist({'nr' : 0}).nr < ============================================================================= 4. Using :make :make_makeprg :mak :make :mak[e][!] [arguments] 1. All relevant \|QuickFixCmdPre\| autocommands are executed. 2. If the 'autowrite' option is on, write any changed buffers 3. An errorfile name is made from 'makeef'. If 'makeef' doesn't contain "##", and a file with this name already exists, it is deleted. 4. The program given with the 'makeprg' option is started (default "make") with the optional [arguments] and the output is saved in the errorfile (for Unix it is also echoed on the screen). 5. The errorfile is read using 'errorformat'. 6. All relevant \|QuickFixCmdPost\| autocommands are executed. See example below. 7. If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to. 8. The errorfile is deleted. 9. You can now move through the errors with commands like \|:cnext\| and \|:cprevious\|, see above. This command does not accept a comment, any " characters are considered part of the arguments. If the encoding of the program output differs from the 'encoding' option, you can use the 'makeencoding' option to specify the encoding. :lmak :lmake :lmak[e][!] [arguments] Same as ":make", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. The ":make" command executes the command given with the 'makeprg' option. This is done by passing the command to the shell given with the 'shell' option. This works almost like typing ":!{makeprg} [arguments] {shellpipe} {errorfile}". {makeprg} is the string given with the 'makeprg' option. Any command can be used, not just "make". Characters '%' and '#' are expanded as usual on a command-line. You can use "%<" to insert the current file name without extension, or "#<" to insert the alternate file name without extension, for example: > :set makeprg=make\ #<.o [arguments] is anything that is typed after ":make". {shellpipe} is the 'shellpipe' option. {errorfile} is the 'makeef' option, with ## replaced to make it unique. The placeholder "$" can be used for the argument list in {makeprg} if the command needs some additional characters after its arguments. The $ is replaced then by all arguments. Example: > :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$} or simpler > :let &mp = 'latex \\nonstopmode \\input\{$}' "$" can be given multiple times, for example: > :set makeprg=gcc\ -o\ $\ $* The 'shellpipe' option defaults to ">" for the Amiga and ">%s 2>&1" for Win32. This means that the output of the compiler is saved in a file and not shown on the screen directly. For Unix "\| tee" is used. The compiler output is shown on the screen and saved in a file the same time. Depending on the shell used "\|& tee" or "2>&1\| tee" is the default, so stderr output will be included. If 'shellpipe' is empty, the {errorfile} part will be omitted. This is useful for compilers that write to an errorfile themselves (e.g., Manx's Amiga C). Using QuickFixCmdPost to fix the encoding ~ It may be that 'encoding' is set to an encoding that differs from the messages your build program produces. This example shows how to fix this after Vim has read the error messages: > function QfMakeConv() let qflist = getqflist() for i in qflist let i.text = iconv(i.text, "cp936", "utf-8") endfor call setqflist(qflist) endfunction au QuickfixCmdPost make call QfMakeConv() (Example by Faque Cheng) Another option is using 'makeencoding'. ============================================================================== 5. Using :vimgrep and :grep grep lid Vim has two ways to find matches for a pattern: Internal and external. The advantage of the internal grep is that it works on all systems and uses the powerful Vim search patterns. An external grep program can be used when the Vim grep does not do what you want. The internal method will be slower, because files are read into memory. The advantages are: - Line separators and encoding are automatically recognized, as if a file is being edited. - Uses Vim search patterns. Multi-line patterns can be used. - When plugins are enabled: compressed and remote files can be searched. \|gzip\| \|netrw\| To be able to do this Vim loads each file as if it is being edited. When there is no match in the file the associated buffer is wiped out again. The 'hidden' option is ignored here to avoid running out of memory or file descriptors when searching many files. However, when the \|:hide\| command modifier is used the buffers are kept loaded. This makes following searches in the same files a lot faster. Note that \|:copen\| (or \|:lopen\| for \|:lgrep\|) may be used to open a buffer containing the search results in linked form. The \|:silent\| command may be used to suppress the default full screen grep output. The ":grep!" form of the \|:grep\| command doesn't jump to the first match automatically. These commands can be combined to create a NewGrep command: > command! -nargs=+ NewGrep execute 'silent grep! <args>' \| copen 42 5.1 using Vim's internal grep :vim :vimgrep E682 E683 :vim[grep][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... Search for {pattern} in the files {file} ... and set the error list to the matches. Files matching 'wildignore' are ignored; files in 'suffixes' are searched last. Without the 'g' flag each line is added only once. With 'g' every match is added. {pattern} is a Vim search pattern. Instead of enclosing it in / any non-ID character (see \|'isident'\|) can be used, so long as it does not appear in {pattern}. 'ignorecase' applies. To overrule it put \|/\c\| in the pattern to ignore case or \|/\C\| to match case. 'smartcase' is not used. If {pattern} is empty (e.g. // is specified), the last used search pattern is used. \|last-pattern\| \|QuickFixCmdPre\| and \|QuickFixCmdPost\| are triggered. A file that is opened for matching may use a buffer number, but it is reused if possible to avoid consuming buffer numbers. :{count}vim[grep] ... When a number is put before the command this is used as the maximum number of matches to find. Use ":1vimgrep pattern file" to find only the first. Useful if you only want to check if there is a match and quit quickly when it's found. Without the 'j' flag Vim jumps to the first match. With 'j' only the quickfix list is updated. With the [!] any changes in the current buffer are abandoned. Every second or so the searched file name is displayed to give you an idea of the progress made. Examples: > :vimgrep /an error/ .c :vimgrep /\<FileName\>/ .h include/* :vimgrep /myfunc/ */.c < For the use of "*" see \|starstar-wildcard\|. :vim[grep][!] {pattern} {file} ... Like above, but instead of enclosing the pattern in a non-ID character use a white-separated pattern. The pattern must start with an ID character. Example: > :vimgrep Error .c < :lv :lvimgrep :lv[imgrep][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... :lv[imgrep][!] {pattern} {file} ... Same as ":vimgrep", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :vimgrepa :vimgrepadd :vimgrepa[dd][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... :vimgrepa[dd][!] {pattern} {file} ... Just like ":vimgrep", but instead of making a new list of errors the matches are appended to the current list. :lvimgrepa :lvimgrepadd :lvimgrepa[dd][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... :lvimgrepa[dd][!] {pattern} {file} ... Same as ":vimgrepadd", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. 5.2 External grep Vim can interface with "grep" and grep-like programs (such as the GNU id-utils) in a similar way to its compiler integration (see \|:make\| above). [Unix trivia: The name for the Unix "grep" command comes from ":g/re/p", where "re" stands for Regular Expression.] :gr :grep :gr[ep][!] [arguments] Just like ":make", but use 'grepprg' instead of 'makeprg' and 'grepformat' instead of 'errorformat'. When 'grepprg' is "internal" this works like \|:vimgrep\|. Note that the pattern needs to be enclosed in separator characters then. If the encoding of the program output differs from the 'encoding' option, you can use the 'makeencoding' option to specify the encoding. :lgr :lgrep :lgr[ep][!] [arguments] Same as ":grep", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. :grepa :grepadd :grepa[dd][!] [arguments] Just like ":grep", but instead of making a new list of errors the matches are appended to the current list. Example: > :call setqflist([]) :bufdo grepadd! something % < The first command makes a new error list which is empty. The second command executes "grepadd" for each listed buffer. Note the use of ! to avoid that ":grepadd" jumps to the first error, which is not allowed with \|:bufdo\|. An example that uses the argument list and avoids errors for files without matches: > :silent argdo try \ \| grepadd! something % \ \| catch /E480:/ \ \| endtry" < If the encoding of the program output differs from the 'encoding' option, you can use the 'makeencoding' option to specify the encoding. :lgrepa :lgrepadd :lgrepa[dd][!] [arguments] Same as ":grepadd", except the location list for the current window is used instead of the quickfix list. 5.3 Setting up external grep If you have a standard "grep" program installed, the :grep command may work well with the defaults. The syntax is very similar to the standard command: > :grep foo .c Will search all files with the .c extension for the substring "foo". The arguments to :grep are passed straight to the "grep" program, so you can use whatever options your "grep" supports. By default, :grep invokes grep with the -n option (show file and line numbers). You can change this with the 'grepprg' option. You will need to set 'grepprg' if: a) You are using a program that isn't called "grep" b) You have to call grep with a full path c) You want to pass other options automatically (e.g. case insensitive search.) Once "grep" has executed, Vim parses the results using the 'grepformat' option. This option works in the same way as the 'errorformat' option - see that for details. You may need to change 'grepformat' from the default if your grep outputs in a non-standard format, or you are using some other program with a special format. Once the results are parsed, Vim loads the first file containing a match and jumps to the appropriate line, in the same way that it jumps to a compiler error in \|quickfix\| mode. You can then use the \|:cnext\|, \|:clist\|, etc. commands to see the other matches. 5.4 Using :grep with id-utils You can set up :grep to work with the GNU id-utils like this: > :set grepprg=lid\ -Rgrep\ -s :set grepformat=%f:%l:%m then > :grep (regexp) works just as you'd expect. (provided you remembered to mkid first :) 5.5 Browsing source code with :vimgrep or :grep Using the stack of error lists that Vim keeps, you can browse your files to look for functions and the functions they call. For example, suppose that you have to add an argument to the read_file() function. You enter this command: > :vimgrep /\<read_file\>/ .c You use ":cn" to go along the list of matches and add the argument. At one place you have to get the new argument from a higher level function msg(), and need to change that one too. Thus you use: > :vimgrep /\<msg\>/ .c While changing the msg() functions, you find another function that needs to get the argument from a higher level. You can again use ":vimgrep" to find these functions. Once you are finished with one function, you can use > :colder to go back to the previous one. This works like browsing a tree: ":vimgrep" goes one level deeper, creating a list of branches. ":colder" goes back to the previous level. You can mix this use of ":vimgrep" and "colder" to browse all the locations in a tree-like way. If you do this consistently, you will find all locations without the need to write down a "todo" list. ============================================================================= 6. Selecting a compiler compiler-select* :comp :compiler E666 :comp[iler][!] {name} Set options to work with compiler {name}. Without the "!" options are set for the current buffer. With "!" global options are set. If you use ":compiler foo" in "file.foo" and then ":compiler! bar" in another buffer, Vim will keep on using "foo" in "file.foo". {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} The Vim plugins in the "compiler" directory will set options to use the selected compiler. For `:compiler` local options are set, for `:compiler!` global options. current_compiler To support older Vim versions, the plugins always use "current_compiler" and not "b:current_compiler". What the command actually does is the following: - Delete the "current_compiler" and "b:current_compiler" variables. - Define the "CompilerSet" user command. With "!" it does ":set", without "!" it does ":setlocal". - Execute ":runtime! compiler/{name}.vim". The plugins are expected to set options with "CompilerSet" and set the "current_compiler" variable to the name of the compiler. - Delete the "CompilerSet" user command. - Set "b:current_compiler" to the value of "current_compiler". - Without "!" the old value of "current_compiler" is restored. For writing a compiler plugin, see \|write-compiler-plugin\|. GCC quickfix-gcc compiler-gcc There's one variable you can set for the GCC compiler: g:compiler_gcc_ignore_unmatched_lines Ignore lines that don't match any patterns defined for GCC. Useful if output from commands run from make are generating false positives. MANX AZTEC C quickfix-manx compiler-manx To use Vim with Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga you should do the following: - Set the CCEDIT environment variable with the command: > mset "CCEDIT=vim -q" - Compile with the -qf option. If the compiler finds any errors, Vim is started and the cursor is positioned on the first error. The error message will be displayed on the last line. You can go to other errors with the commands mentioned above. You can fix the errors and write the file(s). - If you exit Vim normally the compiler will re-compile the same file. If you exit with the :cq command, the compiler will terminate. Do this if you cannot fix the error, or if another file needs to be compiled first. There are some restrictions to the Quickfix mode on the Amiga. The compiler only writes the first 25 errors to the errorfile (Manx's documentation does not say how to get more). If you want to find the others, you will have to fix a few errors and exit the editor. After recompiling, up to 25 remaining errors will be found. If Vim was started from the compiler, the :sh and some :! commands will not work, because Vim is then running in the same process as the compiler and stdin (standard input) will not be interactive. PERL quickfix-perl compiler-perl The Perl compiler plugin doesn't actually compile, but invokes Perl's internal syntax checking feature and parses the output for possible errors so you can correct them in quick-fix mode. Warnings are forced regardless of "no warnings" or "$^W = 0" within the file being checked. To disable this set g:perl_compiler_force_warnings to a zero value. For example: > let g:perl_compiler_force_warnings = 0 PYUNIT COMPILER compiler-pyunit This is not actually a compiler, but a unit testing framework for the Python language. It is included into standard Python distribution starting from version 2.0. For older versions, you can get it from http://pyunit.sourceforge.net. When you run your tests with the help of the framework, possible errors are parsed by Vim and presented for you in quick-fix mode. Unfortunately, there is no standard way to run the tests. The alltests.py script seems to be used quite often, that's all. Useful values for the 'makeprg' options therefore are: setlocal makeprg=./alltests.py " Run a testsuite setlocal makeprg=python\ %:S " Run a single testcase Also see http://vim.sourceforge.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=280. TEX COMPILER compiler-tex Included in the distribution compiler for TeX ($VIMRUNTIME/compiler/tex.vim) uses make command if possible. If the compiler finds a file named "Makefile" or "makefile" in the current directory, it supposes that you want to process your TeX files with make, and the makefile does the right work. In this case compiler sets 'errorformat' for TeX output and leaves 'makeprg' untouched. If neither "Makefile" nor "makefile" is found, the compiler will not use make. You can force the compiler to ignore makefiles by defining b:tex_ignore_makefile or g:tex_ignore_makefile variable (they are checked for existence only). If the compiler chose not to use make, it needs to choose a right program for processing your input. If b:tex_flavor or g:tex_flavor (in this precedence) variable exists, it defines TeX flavor for :make (actually, this is the name of executed command), and if both variables do not exist, it defaults to "latex". For example, while editing chapter2.tex \input-ed from mypaper.tex written in AMS-TeX: > :let b:tex_flavor = 'amstex' :compiler tex < [editing...] > :make mypaper Note that you must specify a name of the file to process as an argument (to process the right file when editing \input-ed or \include-ed file; portable solution for substituting % for no arguments is welcome). This is not in the semantics of make, where you specify a target, not source, but you may specify filename without extension ".tex" and mean this as "make filename.dvi or filename.pdf or filename.some_result_extension according to compiler". Note: tex command line syntax is set to usable both for MikTeX (suggestion by Srinath Avadhanula) and teTeX (checked by Artem Chuprina). Suggestion from \|errorformat-LaTeX\| is too complex to keep it working for different shells and OSes and also does not allow to use other available TeX options, if any. If your TeX doesn't support "-interaction=nonstopmode", please report it with different means to express \nonstopmode from the command line. ============================================================================= 7. The error format error-file-format errorformat E372 E373 E374 E375 E376 E377 E378 The 'errorformat' option specifies a list of formats that are recognized. The first format that matches with an error message is used. You can add several formats for different messages your compiler produces, or even entries for multiple compilers. See \|efm-entries\|. Each entry in 'errorformat' is a scanf-like string that describes the format. First, you need to know how scanf works. Look in the documentation of your C compiler. Below you find the % items that Vim understands. Others are invalid. Special characters in 'errorformat' are comma and backslash. See \|efm-entries\| for how to deal with them. Note that a literal "%" is matched by "%%", thus it is not escaped with a backslash. Keep in mind that in the `:make` and `:grep` output all NUL characters are replaced with SOH (0x01). Note: By default the difference between upper and lowercase is ignored. If you want to match case, add "\C" to the pattern \|/\C\|. Vim will read lines of any length, but only the first 4095 bytes are used, the rest is ignored. Items can only be 1023 bytes long. Basic items %f file name (finds a string) %o module name (finds a string) %l line number (finds a number) %c column number (finds a number representing character column of the error, (1 <tab> == 1 character column)) %v virtual column number (finds a number representing screen column of the error (1 <tab> == 8 screen columns)) %t error type (finds a single character): e - error message w - warning message i - info message n - note message %n error number (finds a number) %m error message (finds a string) %r matches the "rest" of a single-line file message %O/P/Q %p pointer line (finds a sequence of '-', '.', ' ' or tabs and uses the length for the column number) %{conv} any scanf non-assignable conversion %% the single '%' character %s search text (finds a string) The "%f" conversion may depend on the current 'isfname' setting. "~/" is expanded to the home directory and environment variables are expanded. The "%f" and "%m" conversions have to detect the end of the string. This normally happens by matching following characters and items. When nothing is following the rest of the line is matched. If "%f" is followed by a '%' or a backslash, it will look for a sequence of 'isfname' characters. On MS-Windows a leading "C:" will be included in "%f", even when using "%f:". This means that a file name which is a single alphabetical letter will not be detected. The "%p" conversion is normally followed by a "^". It's used for compilers that output a line like: > ^ or > ---------^ to indicate the column of the error. This is to be used in a multi-line error message. See \|errorformat-javac\| for a useful example. The "%s" conversion specifies the text to search for, to locate the error line. The text is used as a literal string. The anchors "^" and "$" are added to the text to locate the error line exactly matching the search text and the text is prefixed with the "\V" atom to make it "very nomagic". The "%s" conversion can be used to locate lines without a line number in the error output. Like the output of the "grep" shell command. When the pattern is present the line number will not be used. The "%o" conversion specifies the module name in quickfix entry. If present it will be used in quickfix error window instead of the filename. The module name is used only for displaying purposes, the file name is used when jumping to the file. Changing directory The following uppercase conversion characters specify the type of special format strings. At most one of them may be given as a prefix at the beginning of a single comma-separated format pattern. Some compilers produce messages that consist of directory names that have to be prepended to each file name read by %f (example: GNU make). The following codes can be used to scan these directory names; they will be stored in an internal directory stack. E379* %D "enter directory" format string; expects a following %f that finds the directory name %X "leave directory" format string; expects following %f When defining an "enter directory" or "leave directory" format, the "%D" or "%X" has to be given at the start of that substring. Vim tracks the directory changes and prepends the current directory to each erroneous file found with a relative path. See \|quickfix-directory-stack\| for details, tips and limitations. Multi-line messages errorformat-multi-line It is possible to read the output of programs that produce multi-line messages, i.e. error strings that consume more than one line. Possible prefixes are: %E start of a multi-line error message %W start of a multi-line warning message %I start of a multi-line informational message %N start of a multi-line note message %A start of a multi-line message (unspecified type) %> for next line start with current pattern again \|efm-%>\| %C continuation of a multi-line message %Z end of a multi-line message These can be used with '+' and '-', see \|efm-ignore\| below. Using "\n" in the pattern won't work to match multi-line messages. Example: Your compiler happens to write out errors in the following format (leading line numbers not being part of the actual output): 1 Error 275 ~ 2 line 42 ~ 3 column 3 ~ 4 ' ' expected after '--' ~ The appropriate error format string has to look like this: > :set efm=%EError\ %n,%Cline\ %l,%Ccolumn\ %c,%Z%m And the \|:clist\| error message generated for this error is: 1:42 col 3 error 275: ' ' expected after '--' Another example: Think of a Python interpreter that produces the following error message (line numbers are not part of the actual output): 1 ============================================================== 2 FAIL: testGetTypeIdCachesResult (dbfacadeTest.DjsDBFacadeTest) 3 -------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Traceback (most recent call last): 5 File "unittests/dbfacadeTest.py", line 89, in testFoo 6 self.assertEquals(34, dtid) 7 File "/usr/lib/python2.2/unittest.py", line 286, in 8 failUnlessEqual 9 raise self.failureException, \ 10 AssertionError: 34 != 33 11 12 -------------------------------------------------------------- 13 Ran 27 tests in 0.063s Say you want \|:clist\| write the relevant information of this message only, namely: 5 unittests/dbfacadeTest.py:89: AssertionError: 34 != 33 Then the error format string could be defined as follows: > :set efm=%C\ %.%#,%A\ \ File\ \"%f\"\\,\ line\ %l%.%#,%Z%[%^\ ]%\\@=%m Note that the %C string is given before the %A here: since the expression ' %.%#' (which stands for the regular expression ' .') matches every line starting with a space, followed by any characters to the end of the line, it also hides line 7 which would trigger a separate error message otherwise. Error format strings are always parsed pattern by pattern until the first match occurs. efm-%>* The %> item can be used to avoid trying patterns that appear earlier in 'errorformat'. This is useful for patterns that match just about anything. For example, if the error looks like this: Error in line 123 of foo.c: ~ unknown variable "i" ~ This can be found with: > :set efm=xxx,%E%>Error in line %l of %f:,%Z%m Where "xxx" has a pattern that would also match the second line. Important: There is no memory of what part of the errorformat matched before; every line in the error file gets a complete new run through the error format lines. For example, if one has: > setlocal efm=aa,bb,cc,dd,ee Where aa, bb, etc. are error format strings. Each line of the error file will be matched to the pattern aa, then bb, then cc, etc. Just because cc matched the previous error line does _not_ mean that dd will be tried first on the current line, even if cc and dd are multi-line errorformat strings. Separate file name errorformat-separate-filename These prefixes are useful if the file name is given once and multiple messages follow that refer to this file name. %O single-line file message: overread the matched part %P single-line file message: push file %f onto the stack %Q single-line file message: pop the last file from stack Example: Given a compiler that produces the following error logfile (without leading line numbers): 1 [a1.tt] 2 (1,17) error: ';' missing 3 (21,2) warning: variable 'z' not defined 4 (67,3) error: end of file found before string ended 5 6 [a2.tt] 7 8 [a3.tt] 9 NEW compiler v1.1 10 (2,2) warning: variable 'x' not defined 11 (67,3) warning: 's' already defined This logfile lists several messages for each file enclosed in [...] which are properly parsed by an error format like this: > :set efm=%+P[%f],(%l\\,%c)%[\ ]%t%[^:]:\ %m,%-Q A call of \|:clist\| writes them accordingly with their correct filenames: 2 a1.tt:1 col 17 error: ';' missing 3 a1.tt:21 col 2 warning: variable 'z' not defined 4 a1.tt:67 col 3 error: end of file found before string ended 8 a3.tt:2 col 2 warning: variable 'x' not defined 9 a3.tt:67 col 3 warning: 's' already defined Unlike the other prefixes that all match against whole lines, %P, %Q and %O can be used to match several patterns in the same line. Thus it is possible to parse even nested files like in the following line: {"file1" {"file2" error1} error2 {"file3" error3 {"file4" error4 error5}}} The %O then parses over strings that do not contain any push/pop file name information. See \|errorformat-LaTeX\| for an extended example. Ignoring and using whole messages efm-ignore The codes '+' or '-' can be combined with the uppercase codes above; in that case they have to precede the letter, e.g. '%+A' or '%-G': %- do not include the matching multi-line in any output %+ include the whole matching line in the %m error string One prefix is only useful in combination with '+' or '-', namely %G. It parses over lines containing general information like compiler version strings or other headers that can be skipped. %-G ignore this message %+G general message Pattern matching The scanf()-like "%[]" notation is supported for backward-compatibility with previous versions of Vim. However, it is also possible to specify (nearly) any Vim supported regular expression in format strings. Since meta characters of the regular expression language can be part of ordinary matching strings or file names (and therefore internally have to be escaped), meta symbols have to be written with leading '%': %\ The single '\' character. Note that this has to be escaped ("%\\") in ":set errorformat=" definitions. %. The single '.' character. %# The single ''(!) character. %^ The single '^' character. Note that this is not useful, the pattern already matches start of line. %$ The single '$' character. Note that this is not useful, the pattern already matches end of line. %[ The single '[' character for a [] character range. %~ The single '~' character. When using character classes in expressions (see \|/\i\| for an overview), terms containing the "\+" quantifier can be written in the scanf() "%" notation. Example: "%\\d%\\+" ("\d\+", "any number") is equivalent to "%\\d". Important note: The $...$ grouping of sub-matches can not be used in format specifications because it is reserved for internal conversions. Multiple entries in 'errorformat' efm-entries To be able to detect output from several compilers, several format patterns may be put in 'errorformat', separated by commas (note: blanks after the comma are ignored). The first pattern that has a complete match is used. If no match is found, matching parts from the last one will be used, although the file name is removed and the error message is set to the whole message. If there is a pattern that may match output from several compilers (but not in a right way), put it after one that is more restrictive. To include a comma in a pattern precede it with a backslash (you have to type two in a ":set" command). To include a backslash itself give two backslashes (you have to type four in a ":set" command). You also need to put a backslash before a space for ":set". Valid matches quickfix-valid If a line does not completely match one of the entries in 'errorformat', the whole line is put in the error message and the entry is marked "not valid" These lines are skipped with the ":cn" and ":cp" commands (unless there is no valid line at all). You can use ":cl!" to display all the error messages. If the error format does not contain a file name Vim cannot switch to the correct file. You will have to do this by hand. Examples The format of the file from the Amiga Aztec compiler is: filename>linenumber:columnnumber:errortype:errornumber:errormessage filename name of the file in which the error was detected linenumber line number where the error was detected columnnumber column number where the error was detected errortype type of the error, normally a single 'E' or 'W' errornumber number of the error (for lookup in the manual) errormessage description of the error This can be matched with this 'errorformat' entry: %f>%l:%c:%t:%n:%m Some examples for C compilers that produce single-line error outputs: %f:%l:\ %t%[^0123456789]%n:\ %m for Manx/Aztec C error messages (scanf() doesn't understand [0-9]) %f\ %l\ %t%[^0-9]%n:\ %m for SAS C \"%f\"\\,%[^0-9]%l:\ %m for generic C compilers %f:%l:\ %m for GCC %f:%l:\ %m,%Dgmake[%\\d]:\ Entering\ directory\ `%f', %Dgmake[%\\d]:\ Leaving\ directory\ `%f' for GCC with gmake (concat the lines!) %f(%l)\ :\ %[^:]:\ %m old SCO C compiler (pre-OS5) %f(%l)\ :\ %t%[^0-9]%n:\ %m idem, with error type and number %f:%l:\ %m,In\ file\ included\ from\ %f:%l:,\^I\^Ifrom\ %f:%l%m for GCC, with some extras Extended examples for the handling of multi-line messages are given below, see \|errorformat-Jikes\| and \|errorformat-LaTeX\|. Note the backslash in front of a space and double quote. It is required for the :set command. There are two backslashes in front of a comma, one for the :set command and one to avoid recognizing the comma as a separator of error formats. Filtering messages If you have a compiler that produces error messages that do not fit in the format string, you could write a program that translates the error messages into this format. You can use this program with the ":make" command by changing the 'makeprg' option. For example: > :set mp=make\ \\\\|&\ error_filter The backslashes before the pipe character are required to avoid it to be recognized as a command separator. The backslash before each space is required for the set command. ============================================================================= 8. The directory stack quickfix-directory-stack* Quickfix maintains a stack for saving all used directories parsed from the make output. For GNU-make this is rather simple, as it always prints the absolute path of all directories it enters and leaves. Regardless if this is done via a 'cd' command in the makefile or with the parameter "-C dir" (change to directory before reading the makefile). It may be useful to use the switch "-w" to force GNU-make to print out the working directory before and after processing. Maintaining the correct directory is more complicated if you don't use GNU-make. AIX-make for example doesn't print any information about its working directory. Then you need to enhance the makefile. In the makefile of LessTif there is a command which echoes "Making {target} in {dir}". The special problem here is that it doesn't print information on leaving the directory and that it doesn't print the absolute path. To solve the problem with relative paths and missing "leave directory" messages Vim uses the following algorithm: 1) Check if the given directory is a subdirectory of the current directory. If this is true, store it as the current directory. 2) If it is not a subdir of the current directory, try if this is a subdirectory of one of the upper directories. 3) If the directory still isn't found, it is assumed to be a subdirectory of Vim's current directory. Additionally it is checked for every file, if it really exists in the identified directory. If not, it is searched in all other directories of the directory stack (NOT the directory subtree!). If it is still not found, it is assumed that it is in Vim's current directory. There are limitations in this algorithm. These examples assume that make just prints information about entering a directory in the form "Making all in dir". 1) Assume you have following directories and files: ./dir1 ./dir1/file1.c ./file1.c If make processes the directory "./dir1" before the current directory and there is an error in the file "./file1.c", you will end up with the file "./dir1/file.c" loaded by Vim. This can only be solved with a "leave directory" message. 2) Assume you have following directories and files: ./dir1 ./dir1/dir2 ./dir2 You get the following: Make output Directory interpreted by Vim ------------------------ ---------------------------- Making all in dir1 ./dir1 Making all in dir2 ./dir1/dir2 Making all in dir2 ./dir1/dir2 This can be solved by printing absolute directories in the "enter directory" message or by printing "leave directory" messages. To avoid this problem, ensure to print absolute directory names and "leave directory" messages. Examples for Makefiles: Unix: libs: for dn in $(LIBDIRS); do \ (cd $$dn; echo "Entering dir '$$(pwd)'"; make); \ echo "Leaving dir"; \ done Add %DEntering\ dir\ '%f',%XLeaving\ dir to your 'errorformat' to handle the above output. Note that Vim doesn't check if the directory name in a "leave directory" messages is the current directory. This is why you could just use the message "Leaving dir". ============================================================================= 9. Specific error file formats errorformats errorformat-Jikes Jikes(TM), a source-to-bytecode Java compiler published by IBM Research, produces simple multi-line error messages. An 'errorformat' string matching the produced messages is shown below. The following lines can be placed in the user's \|vimrc\| to overwrite Vim's recognized default formats, or see \|:set+=\| how to install this format additionally to the default. > :set efm=%A%f:%l:%c:%\\d:%\\d:, \%C%\\s%trror:%m, \%+C%[^:]%trror:%m, \%C%\\s%tarning:%m, \%C%m < Jikes(TM) produces a single-line error message when invoked with the option "+E", and can be matched with the following: > :setl efm=%f:%l:%v:%\\d:%\\d:%\\s%m < errorformat-javac This 'errorformat' has been reported to work well for javac, which outputs a line with "^" to indicate the column of the error: > :setl efm=%A%f:%l:\ %m,%-Z%p^,%-C%.%# or: > :setl efm=%A%f:%l:\ %m,%+Z%p^,%+C%.%#,%-G%.%# < Here is an alternative from Michael F. Lamb for Unix that filters the errors first: > :setl errorformat=%Z%f:%l:\ %m,%A%p^,%-G%[^sl]%.%# :setl makeprg=javac\ %:S\ 2>&1\ \\\\|\ vim-javac-filter You need to put the following in "vim-javac-filter" somewhere in your path (e.g., in ~/bin) and make it executable: > #!/bin/sed -f /\^$/s/\t/\ /g;/:[0-9]\+:/{h;d};/^[ \t]\^/G; In English, that sed script: - Changes single tabs to single spaces and - Moves the line with the filename, line number, error message to just after the pointer line. That way, the unused error text between doesn't break vim's notion of a "multi-line message" and also doesn't force us to include it as a "continuation of a multi-line message." errorformat-ant For ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/) the above errorformat has to be modified to honour the leading [javac] in front of each javac output line: > :set efm=%A\ %#[javac]\ %f:%l:\ %m,%-Z\ %#[javac]\ %p^,%-C%.%# The 'errorformat' can also be configured to handle ant together with either javac or jikes. If you're using jikes, you should tell ant to use jikes' +E command line switch which forces jikes to generate one-line error messages. This is what the second line (of a build.xml file) below does: > <property name = "build.compiler" value = "jikes"/> <property name = "build.compiler.emacs" value = "true"/> The 'errorformat' which handles ant with both javac and jikes is: > :set efm=\ %#[javac]\ %#%f:%l:%c:%\\d:%\\d:\ %t%[%^:]%#:%m, \%A\ %#[javac]\ %f:%l:\ %m,%-Z\ %#[javac]\ %p^,%-C%.%# < errorformat-jade parsing jade (see http://www.jclark.com/) errors is simple: > :set efm=jade:%f:%l:%c:%t:%m < errorformat-LaTeX The following is an example how an 'errorformat' string can be specified for the (La)TeX typesetting system which displays error messages over multiple lines. The output of ":clist" and ":cc" etc. commands displays multi-lines in a single line, leading white space is removed. It should be easy to adopt the above LaTeX errorformat to any compiler output consisting of multi-line errors. The commands can be placed in a \|vimrc\| file or some other Vim script file, e.g. a script containing LaTeX related stuff which is loaded only when editing LaTeX sources. Make sure to copy all lines of the example (in the given order), afterwards remove the comment lines. For the '\' notation at the start of some lines see \|line-continuation\|. First prepare 'makeprg' such that LaTeX will report multiple errors; do not stop when the first error has occurred: > :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$} < Start of multi-line error messages: > :set efm=%E!\ LaTeX\ %trror:\ %m, \%E!\ %m, < Start of multi-line warning messages; the first two also include the line number. Meaning of some regular expressions: - "%.%#" (".") matches a (possibly empty) string - "%\\d" ("\d\+") matches a number > \%+WLaTeX\ %.%#Warning:\ %.%#line\ %l%.%#, \%+W%.%#\ at\ lines\ %l--%\\d, \%WLaTeX\ %.%#Warning:\ %m, < Possible continuations of error/warning messages; the first one also includes the line number: > \%Cl.%l\ %m, \%+C\ \ %m., \%+C%.%#-%.%#, \%+C%.%#[]%.%#, \%+C[]%.%#, \%+C%.%#%[{}\\]%.%#, \%+C<%.%#>%.%#, \%C\ \ %m, < Lines that match the following patterns do not contain any important information; do not include them in messages: > \%-GSee\ the\ LaTeX%m, \%-GType\ \ H\ <return>%m, \%-G\ ...%.%#, \%-G%.%#\ (C)\ %.%#, \%-G(see\ the\ transcript%.%#), < Generally exclude any empty or whitespace-only line from being displayed: > \%-G\\s%#, < The LaTeX output log does not specify the names of erroneous source files per line; rather they are given globally, enclosed in parentheses. The following patterns try to match these names and store them in an internal stack. The patterns possibly scan over the same input line (one after another), the trailing "%r" conversion indicates the "rest" of the line that will be parsed in the next go until the end of line is reached. Overread a file name enclosed in '('...')'; do not push it on a stack since the file apparently does not contain any error: > \%+O(%f)%r, < Push a file name onto the stack. The name is given after '(': > \%+P(%f%r, \%+P\ %\\=(%f%r, \%+P%[^()](%f%r, \%+P[%\\d%[^()]%#(%f%r, < Pop the last stored file name when a ')' is scanned: > \%+Q)%r, \%+Q%[^()])%r, \%+Q[%\\d%[^()])%r Note that in some cases file names in the LaTeX output log cannot be parsed properly. The parser might have been messed up by unbalanced parentheses then. The above example tries to catch the most relevant cases only. You can customize the given setting to suit your own purposes, for example, all the annoying "Overfull ..." warnings could be excluded from being recognized as an error. Alternatively to filtering the LaTeX compiler output, it is also possible to directly read the .log file that is produced by the [La]TeX compiler. This contains even more useful information about possible error causes. However, to properly parse such a complex file, an external filter should be used. See the description further above how to make such a filter known by Vim. errorformat-Perl In $VIMRUNTIME/tools you can find the efm_perl.pl script, which filters Perl error messages into a format that quickfix mode will understand. See the start of the file about how to use it. (This script is deprecated, see \|compiler-perl\|.) ============================================================================= 10. Customizing the quickfix window quickfix-window-function The default format for the lines displayed in the quickfix window and location list window is: <filename>\|<lnum> col <col>\|<text> The values displayed in each line correspond to the "bufnr", "lnum", "col" and "text" fields returned by the \|getqflist()\| function. For some quickfix/location lists, the displayed text needs to be customized. For example, if only the filename is present for a quickfix entry, then the two "\|" field separator characters after the filename are not needed. Another use case is to customize the path displayed for a filename. By default, the complete path (which may be too long) is displayed for files which are not under the current directory tree. The file path may need to be simplified to a common parent directory. The displayed text can be customized by setting the 'quickfixtextfunc' option to a Vim function. This function will be called with a dict argument and should return a List of strings to be displayed in the quickfix or location list window. The dict argument will have the following fields: quickfix set to 1 when called for a quickfix list and 0 when called for a location list. winid for a location list, set to the id of the window with the location list. For a quickfix list, set to 0. Can be used in getloclist() to get the location list entry. id quickfix or location list identifier start_idx index of the first entry for which text should be returned end_idx index of the last entry for which text should be returned The function should return a single line of text to display in the quickfix window for each entry from start_idx to end_idx. The function can obtain information about the entries using the \|getqflist()\| function and specifying the quickfix list identifier "id". For a location list, getloclist() function can be used with the 'winid' argument. If an empty list is returned, then the default format is used to display all the entries. If an item in the returned list is an empty string, then the default format is used to display the corresponding entry. If a quickfix or location list specific customization is needed, then the 'quickfixtextfunc' attribute of the list can be set using the \|setqflist()\| or \|setloclist()\| function. This overrides the global 'quickfixtextfunc' option. The example below displays the list of old files (\|v:oldfiles\|) in a quickfix window. As there is no line, column number and error text information associated with each entry, the 'quickfixtextfunc' function returns only the filename. Example: > " create a quickfix list from v:oldfiles call setqflist([], ' ', {'lines' : v:oldfiles, 'efm' : '%f', \ 'quickfixtextfunc' : 'QfOldFiles'}) func QfOldFiles(info) " get information about a range of quickfix entries let items = getqflist({'id' : a:info.id, 'items' : 1}).items let l = [] for idx in range(a:info.start_idx - 1, a:info.end_idx - 1) " use the simplified file name call add(l, fnamemodify(bufname(items[idx].bufnr), ':p:.')) endfor return l endfunc < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	80.98 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

📄 quotes.txt quotes.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2018 Mar 29 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar quotes Here are some nice quotes about Vim that I collected from news and mail. vim (vim) noun - Ebullient vitality and energy. [Latin, accusative of vis, strength] (Dictionary) Vim is so much better than vi that a great many of my old vi :map's became immediately obsolete! (Tony Nugent, Australia) Coming with a very GUI mindset from Windows, I always thought of people using Vi as some kind of outer space alien in human clothes. Once I tried I really got addicted by its power and now I found myself typing Vim keypresses in the oddest places! That's why I would like to see Vim embedded in every application which deals with text editing. (José Fonseca) I was a 12-year emacs user who switched to Vim about a year ago after finally giving up on the multiple incompatible versions, flaky contributed packages, disorganized keystrokes, etc. And it was one of the best moves I ever made. (Joel Burton) Although all of the programs were used during the preparation of the new and revised material, most of the editing was done with Vim versions 4.5 and 5.0 under GNU-Linux (Redhat 4.2). (Arnold Robbins, Israel, author of "Learning the Vi editor") Out of all the open software i've ever seen and used, and i've seen a lot, Vim is the best, most useful and highest quality to work with, second only to the linux kernel itself. (Peter Jay Salzman) It's well worth noting that the _entirety_ of SourceForge was written using Vim and its nifty PHP syntax highlighting. I think the entire SF.net tech staff uses Vim and we're all excited to have you aboard! (Tim Perdue) Vim is one of a select bunch of tools for which I have no substitute. It is a brilliant piece of work! (Biju Chacko) A previous girlfriend of mine switched to emacs. Needless to say, the relationship went nowhere. (Geoffrey Mann) I rarely think about Vim, in the same way that I guess a fish rarely thinks about water. It's the environment in which everything else happens. I'm a fairly busy system administrator working on a lot of different platforms. Vim is the only thing that's consistent across all my systems, and it's just about the only thing that doesn't break from time to time. When a new system comes in the door without Vim, I install it right away. Great to have a tool that's the same everywhere, that's completely reliable, so I can ignore it and think about other things. (Pete Schaeffer) Having recently succeeded in running Vim via telnet through a Nokia Communicator, I can now report that it works nicely on a Palm Pilot too. (Allan Kelly, Scotland) You've done a tremendous job with 'VIM', Bram! The more I use it, the more impressed I get (I am an old 'vi' die hard who once started out with early versions of 'emacs' in the late 1970's and was relieved by finding 'vi' in the first UNIX I came across in 1983). In my opinion, it's about time 'VIM' replace 'emacs' as the standard for top editors. (Bo Thide', Sweden) I love and use Vim heavily too. (Larry Wall) Vi is like a Ferrari, if you're a beginner, it handles like a bitch, but once you get the hang of it, it's small, powerful and FAST! (Unknown) Vim is like a new model Ferrari, and sounds like one too - "VIIIIIIMMM!" (Stephen Riehm, Germany) Schon bei Nutzung eines Bruchteils der Vim-Funktionen wird der Benutzer recht schnell die Vorzuege dieses Editors kennen- und schaetzenlernen. Translated: Even when only using a fraction of Vim-functions, the user will quickly get used to and appreciate the advantages of this editor. (Garry Glendown, conclusion of an article on Vim in iX magazine 9/1998) I've recently acquired the O'Reilly book on Vi (it also discusses Vim in-depth), and I'm amazed at just how powerful this application is. (Jeffrey Rankin) This guide was written using the Windows 9.x distribution of gvim, which is quite possibly the greatest thing to come along since God created the naked girl. (Michael DiBernardo) Boy, I thought I knew almost everything about Vim, but every time I browse the online documentation, I hit upon a minor but cool aspect of a Vim feature that I didn't know before! I must say the documentation is one the finest I've ever seen in a product -- even better than most commercial products. (Gautam Mudunuri) Vim 4.5 is really a fantastic editor. It has sooooo many features and more importantly, the defaults are so well thought out that you really don't have to change anything!! Words cannot express my amazement and gratitude to the creators of Vim. Keep it up. (Vikas, USA) I wonder how long it will be before people will refer to other Vi editors as Vim clones? (Darren Hiebert) I read about [auto-positioning-in-file-based-on-the-errors-from-make] in one of those "Perfect Programmer's Editor" threads and was delighted to discover that Vim already supports it. (Brendan Macmillan, Australia) I just discovered Vim (5.0) and I'm telling everyone I know about it! I tell them Vim stands for Vi for the new (M)illenium. Thanks so much! (Matt F. Valentine) I think from now on "vi" should be called "Vim Imitation", not the other way around. (Rungun Ramanathan) The Law of Vim: For each member b of the possible behaviour space B of program P, there exists a finite time t before which at least one user u in the total user space U of program P will request b becomes a member of the allowed behaviour space B' (B' <= B). In other words: Sooner or later everyone wants everything as an option. (Negri) Whenever I move to a new computing platform, the first thing I do is to port Vim. Lately, I am simply stunned by its ease of compilation using the configure facility. (A.M. Sabuncu, Turkey) The options are really excellent and very powerful. (Anish Maharaj) The Spring user-interface designs are in, and word from the boutiques is that 80x24 text-only mode is back with a *vengeance! Vi editor clone Vim burst onto March desk-tops with a dazzling show of pastel syntax highlights for its 5.0 look. Strident and customizable, Vim raises eyebrows with its interpretation of the classic Vi single-key macro collection. http://www.ntk.net/index.cgi?back=archive98/now0327.txt&line=179#l I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that Vim 5 ROCKS! Syntax highlighting: how did I survive without it?! Thank you for creating mankind's best editor! (Mun Johl, USA) Thanks again for Vim. I use it every day on Linux. (Eric Foster-Johnson, author of the book "UNIX Programming Tools") The BEST EDITOR EVER (Stuart Woolford) I have used most of Vim's fancy features at least once, many frequently, and I can honestly say that I couldn't live with anything less anymore. My productivity has easily doubled compared to what it was when I used vi. (Sitaram Chamarty) I luv Vim. It is incredible. I'm naming my first-born Vimberly. (Jose Unpingco, USA) Hint: "Vim" is "vi improved" - much better! (Sven Guckes, Germany) I use Vim every day. I spend more time in Vim than in any other program... It's the best vi clone there is. I think it's great. (Craig Sanders, Australia) I strongly advise using Vim--its infinite undo/redo saved me much grief. (Terry Brown) Thanks very much for writing what in my opinion is the finest text editor on the planet. If I were to get another cat, I would name it "Vim". (Bob Sheehan, USA) I typed :set all and the screen FILLED up with options. A whole screen of things to be set and unset. I saw some of my old friends like wrapmargin, modelines and showmode, but the screen was FILLED with new friends! I love them all! I love Vim! I'm so happy that I've found this editor! I feel like how I once felt when I started using vi after a couple of years of using ed. I never thought I'd forsake my beloved ed, but vi ... oh god, vi was great. And now, Vim. (Peter Jay Salzman, USA) I am really happy with such a wonderful software package. Much better than almost any expensive, off the shelf program. (Jeff Walker) Whenever I reread the Vim documentation I'm overcome with excitement at the power of the editor. (William Edward Webber, Australia) Hurrah for Vim!! It is "at your fingertips" like vi, and has the extensions that vi sorely needs: highlighting for executing commands on blocks, an easily navigable and digestible help screen, and more. (Paul Pax) The reason WHY I don't have this amazingly useful macro anymore, is that I now use Vim - and this is built in!! (Stephen Riehm, Germany) I am a user of Vim and I love it. I use it to do all my programming, C, C++, HTML what ever. (Tim Allwine) I discovered Vim after years of struggling with the original vi, and I just can't live without it anymore. (Emmanuel Mogenet, USA) Emacs has not a bit of chance to survive so long as Vim is around. Besides, it also has the most detailed software documentation I have ever seen---much better than most commercial software! (Leiming Qian) This version of Vim will just blow people apart when they discover just how fantastic it is! (Tony Nugent, Australia) I took your advice & finally got Vim & I'm really impressed. Instant convert. (Patrick Killelea, USA) Vim is by far my favorite piece of shareware and I have been particularly pleased with version 3.0. This is really a solid piece of work. (Robert Colon, USA) Vim is a joy to use, it is so well thought and practical that I wonder why anybody would use visual development tools. Vim is powerful and elegant, it looks deceptively simple but is almost as complex as a 747 (especially when I look at my growing .vimrc), keep up that wonderful job, Vim is a centerpiece of the free software world. (Louis-David Mitterand, USA) I cannot believe how great it is to use Vim. I think the guys at work are getting tired of hearing me bragging about it. Others eyes are lighting up. (Rick Croote) Emacs takes way too much time to start up and run, it is too big and bulky for effective use and the interface is more confusing than it is of any help. Vim however is short, it is fast, it is powerful, it has a good interface and it is all purpose. (Paal Ditlefsen Ekran) From the first time I got Vim3.0, I was very enthusiastic. It has almost no problems. The swapfile handling and the backup possibilities are robust, also the protection against editing one file twice. It is very compatible to the real VI (and that is a MUST, because my brain is trained over years in using it). (Gert van Antwerpen, Holland) Visual mode in Vim is a very powerful thing! (Tony Nugent, Australia) I have to say that Vim is =THE= single greatest piece of source code to ever come across the net (Jim Battle, USA). In fact, if you do want to get a new vi I'd suggest Vim-3.0. This is, by far, the best version of vi I've ever seen (Albert W. Schueller). I should mention that Vim is a very good editor and can compete with anything (Ilya Beloozerov). To tell the truth sometimes I used elvis, vile, xvi, calvin, etc. And this is the reason that I can state that Vim is the best! (Ferenc Deak, Hungary) Vim is by far the best editor that I have used in a long time, and I have looked at just about every thing that is available for every platform that I use. Vim is the best on all of them. (Guy L. Oliver) Vim is the greatest editor since the stone chisel. (Jose Unpingco, USA) I would like to say that with Vim I am finally making the 'emacs to vi' transition - as an Editor it is so much better in many ways: keyboard layout, memory usage, text alteration to name 3. (Mark Adam) In fact, now if I want to know what a particular setting does in vi, I fire up Vim and check out its help! (Nikhil Patel, USA) As a vi user, Vim has made working with text a far more pleasant task than before I encountered this program. (Steinar Knutsen, Norway) I use Vim since version 3.0. Since that time, it is the ONLY editor I use, with Solaris, Linux and OS/2 Warp. I suggest all my friends to use Vim, they try, and they continue using it. Vim is really the best software I have ever downloaded from the Internet, and the best editor I know of.

📄 recover.txt recover.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Aug 15 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Recovery after a crash crash-recovery You have spent several hours typing in that text that has to be finished next morning, and then disaster strikes: Your computer crashes. DON'T PANIC! You can recover most of your changes from the files that Vim uses to store the contents of the file. Mostly you can recover your work with one command: vim -r filename 1. The swap file \|swap-file\| 2. Recovery \|recovery\| ============================================================================== 1. The swap file swap-file Vim stores the things you changed in a swap file. Using the original file you started from plus the swap file you can mostly recover your work. You can see the name of the current swap file being used with the command: :sw[apname] :sw :swapname Or you can use the \|swapname()\| function, which also allows for seeing the swap file name of other buffers. The name of the swap file is normally the same as the file you are editing, with the extension ".swp". - On Unix, a '.' is prepended to swap file names in the same directory as the edited file. This avoids that the swap file shows up in a directory listing. - On MS-Windows machines and when the 'shortname' option is on, any '.' in the original file name is replaced with '_'. - If this file already exists (e.g., when you are recovering from a crash) a warning is given and another extension is used, ".swo", ".swn", etc. - An existing file will never be overwritten. - The swap file is deleted as soon as Vim stops editing the file. Technical: The replacement of '.' with '_' is done to avoid problems with MS-DOS compatible filesystems (e.g., crossdos, multidos). If Vim is able to detect that the file is on an MS-DOS-like filesystem, a flag is set that has the same effect as the 'shortname' option. This flag is reset when you start editing another file. E326 If the ".swp" file name already exists, the last character is decremented until there is no file with that name or ".saa" is reached. In the last case, no swap file is created. By setting the 'directory' option you can place the swap file in another place than where the edited file is. Advantages: - You will not pollute the directories with ".swp" files. - When the 'directory' is on another partition, reduce the risk of damaging the file system where the file is (in a crash). Disadvantages: - You can get name collisions from files with the same name but in different directories (although Vim tries to avoid that by comparing the path name). This will result in bogus ATTENTION warning messages. - When you use your home directory, and somebody else tries to edit the same file, that user will not see your swap file and will not get the ATTENTION warning message. On the Amiga you can also use a recoverable ram disk, but there is no 100% guarantee that this works. Putting swap files in a normal ram disk (like RAM: on the Amiga) or in a place that is cleared when rebooting (like /tmp on Unix) makes no sense, you will lose the swap file in a crash. If you want to put swap files in a fixed place, put a command resembling the following ones in your .vimrc: :set dir=dh2:tmp (for Amiga) :set dir=~/tmp (for Unix) :set dir=c:\\tmp (for Win32) This is also very handy when editing files on floppy. Of course you will have to create that "tmp" directory for this to work! For read-only files, a swap file is not used. Unless the file is big, causing the amount of memory used to be higher than given with 'maxmem' or 'maxmemtot'. And when making a change to a read-only file, the swap file is created anyway. The 'swapfile' option can be reset to avoid creating a swapfile. And the \|:noswapfile\| modifier can be used to not create a swapfile for a new buffer. :nos[wapfile] {command} :nos :noswapfile Execute {command}. If it contains a command that loads a new buffer, it will be loaded without creating a swapfile and the 'swapfile' option will be reset. If a buffer already had a swapfile it is not removed and 'swapfile' is not reset. Detecting an existing swap file ~ You can find this in the user manual, section \|11.3\|. Updating the swapfile ~ The swap file is updated after typing 200 characters or when you have not typed anything for four seconds. This only happens if the buffer was changed, not when you only moved around. The reason why it is not kept up to date all the time is that this would slow down normal work too much. You can change the 200 character count with the 'updatecount' option. You can set the time with the 'updatetime' option. The time is given in milliseconds. After writing to the swap file Vim syncs the file to disk. This takes some time, especially on busy Unix systems. If you don't want this you can set the 'swapsync' option to an empty string. The risk of losing work becomes bigger though. On some non-Unix systems (MS-Windows, Amiga) the swap file won't be written at all. If the writing to the swap file is not wanted, it can be switched off by setting the 'updatecount' option to 0. The same is done when starting Vim with the "-n" option. Writing can be switched back on by setting the 'updatecount' option to non-zero. Swap files will be created for all buffers when doing this. But when setting 'updatecount' to zero, the existing swap files will not be removed, it will only affect files that will be opened after this. If you want to make sure that your changes are in the swap file use this command: :pre :preserve E313 E314 :pre[serve] Write all text for the current buffer into its swap file. The original file is no longer needed for recovery. This sets a flag in the current buffer. When the '&' flag is present in 'cpoptions' the swap file will not be deleted for this buffer when Vim exits and the buffer is still loaded \|cpo-&\|. A Vim swap file can be recognized by the first six characters: "b0VIM ". After that comes the version number, e.g., "3.0". Links and symbolic links ~ On Unix it is possible to have two names for the same file. This can be done with hard links and with symbolic links (symlinks). For hard links Vim does not know the other name of the file. Therefore, the name of the swapfile will be based on the name you used to edit the file. There is no check for editing the same file by the other name too, because Vim cannot find the other swapfile (except for searching all of your harddisk, which would be very slow). For symbolic links Vim resolves the links to find the name of the actual file. The swap file name is based on that name. Thus it doesn't matter by what name you edit the file, the swap file name will normally be the same. However, there are exceptions: - When the directory of the actual file is not writable the swapfile is put elsewhere. - When the symbolic links somehow create a loop you get an E773 error message and the unmodified file name will be used. You won't be able to save your file normally. ============================================================================== 2. Recovery recovery E308 E311 Basic file recovery is explained in the user manual: \|usr_11.txt\|. Another way to do recovery is to start Vim and use the ":recover" command. This is easy when you start Vim to edit a file and you get the "ATTENTION: Found a swap file ..." message. In this case the single command ":recover" will do the work. You can also give the name of the file or the swap file to the recover command: :rec :recover E305 E306 E307 :rec[over] [file] Try to recover [file] from the swap file. If [file] is not given use the file name for the current buffer. The current contents of the buffer are lost. This command fails if the buffer was modified. :rec[over]! [file] Like ":recover", but any changes in the current buffer are lost. E312 E309 E310 Vim has some intelligence about what to do if the swap file is corrupt in some way. If Vim has doubt about what it found, it will give an error message and insert lines with "???" in the text. If you see an error message while recovering, search in the file for "???" to see what is wrong. You may want to cut and paste to get the text you need. The most common remark is "???LINES MISSING". This means that Vim cannot read the text from the original file. This can happen if the system crashed and parts of the original file were not written to disk. Be sure that the recovery was successful before overwriting the original file or deleting the swap file. It is good practice to write the recovered file elsewhere and run 'diff' to find out if the changes you want are in the recovered file. Or use \|:DiffOrig\|. Once you are sure the recovery is ok delete the swap file. Otherwise, you will continue to get warning messages that the ".swp" file already exists. ENCRYPTION AND THE SWAP FILE :recover-crypt When the text file is encrypted the swap file is encrypted as well. This makes recovery a bit more complicated. When recovering from a swap file and encryption has been used, you will be asked to enter one or two crypt keys. If the text file does not exist you will only be asked to enter the crypt key for the swap file. If the text file does exist, it may be encrypted in a different way than the swap file. You will be asked for the crypt key twice: Need encryption key for "/tmp/tt" ~ Enter encryption key: ****** ~ "/tmp/tt" [crypted] 23200L, 522129C ~ Using swap file "/tmp/.tt.swp" ~ Original file "/tmp/tt" ~ Swap file is encrypted: "/tmp/.tt.swp" ~ If you entered a new crypt key but did not write the text file, ~ enter the new crypt key. ~ If you wrote the text file after changing the crypt key press enter ~ to use the same key for text file and swap file ~ Enter encryption key: ~ You can be in one of these two situations: 1. The encryption key was not changed, or after changing the key the text file was written. You will be prompted for the crypt key twice. The second time you can simply press Enter. That means the same key is used for the text file and the swap file. 2. You entered a new encryption key, but did not save the text file. Vim will then use the new key for the swap file, and the text file will still be encrypted with the old key. At the second prompt enter the new key. Note that after recovery the key of the swap file will be used for the text file. Thus if you write the text file, you need to use that new key. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	10.47 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 remote.txt remote.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 May 05 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Vim client-server communication client-server 1. Common functionality \|clientserver\| 2. X11 specific items \|x11-clientserver\| 3. MS-Windows specific items \|w32-clientserver\| ============================================================================== 1. Common functionality clientserver When compiled with the \|+clientserver\| option, Vim can act as a command server. It accepts messages from a client and executes them. At the same time, Vim can function as a client and send commands to a Vim server. The following command line arguments are available: argument meaning ~ --remote [+{cmd}] {file} ... --remote Open the file list in a remote Vim. When there is no Vim server, execute locally. There is one optional init command: +{cmd}. This must be an Ex command that can be followed by "\|". The rest of the command line is taken as the file list. Thus any non-file arguments must come before this. You cannot edit stdin this way \|--\|. The remote Vim is raised. If you don't want this use > vim --remote-send "<C-\><C-N>:n filename<CR>" < --remote-silent [+{cmd}] {file} ... --remote-silent As above, but don't complain if there is no server and the file is edited locally. --remote-wait [+{cmd}] {file} ... --remote-wait As --remote, but wait for files to complete (unload) in remote Vim. --remote-wait-silent [+{cmd}] {file} ... --remote-wait-silent As --remote-wait, but don't complain if there is no server. --remote-tab --remote-tab Like --remote but open each file in a new tabpage. --remote-tab-silent --remote-tab-silent Like --remote-silent but open each file in a new tabpage. --remote-tab-wait --remote-tab-wait Like --remote-wait but open each file in a new tabpage. --remote-tab-wait-silent --remote-tab-wait-silent Like --remote-wait-silent but open each file in a new tabpage. --servername --servername {name} Become the server {name}. When used together with one of the --remote commands: connect to server {name} instead of the default (see below). The name used will be uppercase. --remote-send --remote-send {keys} Send {keys} to server and exit. The {keys} are not mapped. Special key names are recognized, e.g., "<CR>" results in a CR character. --remote-expr --remote-expr {expr} Evaluate {expr} in server and print the result on stdout. --serverlist --serverlist Output a list of server names. Examples ~ Edit "file.txt" in an already running GVIM server: > gvim --remote file.txt Edit "file.txt" in an already running server called FOOBAR: > gvim --servername FOOBAR --remote file.txt Edit "file.txt" in server "FILES" if it exists, become server "FILES" otherwise: > gvim --servername FILES --remote-silent file.txt This doesn't work, all arguments after --remote will be used as file names: > gvim --remote --servername FOOBAR file.txt Edit file "+foo" in a remote server (note the use of "./" to avoid the special meaning of the leading plus): > vim --remote ./+foo Tell the remote server "BLA" to write all files and exit: > vim --servername BLA --remote-send '<C-\><C-N>:wqa<CR>' SERVER NAME client-server-name By default Vim will try to register the name under which it was invoked (gvim, egvim ...). This can be overridden with the --servername argument. If the specified name is not available, a postfix is applied until a free name is encountered, i.e. "gvim1" for the second invocation of gvim on a particular X-server. The resulting name is available in the servername builtin variable \|v:servername\|. The case of the server name is ignored, thus "gvim" and "GVIM" are considered equal. When Vim is invoked with --remote, --remote-wait or --remote-send it will try to locate the server name determined by the invocation name and --servername argument as described above. If an exact match is not available, the first server with the number postfix will be used. If a name with the number postfix is specified with the --servername argument, it must match exactly. If no server can be located and --remote or --remote-wait was used, Vim will start up according to the rest of the command line and do the editing by itself. This way it is not necessary to know whether gvim is already started when sending command to it. The --serverlist argument will cause Vim to print a list of registered command servers on the standard output (stdout) and exit. Win32 Note: Making the Vim server go to the foreground doesn't always work, because MS-Windows doesn't allow it. The client will move the server to the foreground when using the --remote or --remote-wait argument and the server name starts with "g". REMOTE EDITING The --remote argument will cause a \|:drop\| command to be constructed from the rest of the command line and sent as described above. The --remote-wait argument does the same thing and additionally sets up to wait for each of the files to have been edited. This uses the BufUnload event, thus as soon as a file has been unloaded, Vim assumes you are done editing it. Note that the --remote and --remote-wait arguments will consume the rest of the command line. I.e. all remaining arguments will be regarded as filenames. You can not put options there! FUNCTIONS E240 E573 There are a number of Vim functions for scripting the command server. See the description in \|eval.txt\| or use CTRL-] on the function name to jump to the full explanation. synopsis explanation ~ remote_startserver( name) run a server remote_expr( server, string, idvar) send expression remote_send( server, string, idvar) send key sequence serverlist() get a list of available servers remote_peek( serverid, retvar) check for reply string remote_read( serverid) read reply string server2client( serverid, string) send reply string remote_foreground( server) bring server to the front See also the explanation of \|CTRL-\_CTRL-N\|. Very useful as a leading key sequence. The {serverid} for server2client() can be obtained with expand("<client>") ============================================================================== 2. X11 specific items x11-clientserver E247 E248 E251 E258 E277 The communication between client and server goes through the X server. The display of the Vim server must be specified. The usual protection of the X server is used, you must be able to open a window on the X server for the communication to work. It is possible to communicate between different systems. By default, a GUI Vim will register a name on the X-server by which it can be addressed for subsequent execution of injected strings. Vim can also act as a client and send strings to other instances of Vim on the same X11 display. When an X11 GUI Vim (gvim) is started, it will try to register a send-server name on the 'VimRegistry' property on the root window. A non GUI Vim with access to the X11 display (\|xterm-clipboard\| enabled), can also act as a command server if a server name is explicitly given with the --servername argument, or when Vim was built with the \|+autoservername\| feature. An empty --servername argument will cause the command server to be disabled. To send commands to a Vim server from another application, read the source file src/if_xcmdsrv.c, it contains some hints about the protocol used. ============================================================================== 3. Win32 specific items w32-clientserver Every Win32 Vim can work as a server, also in the console. You do not need a version compiled with OLE. Windows messages are used, this works on any version of MS-Windows. But only communication within one system is possible. Since MS-Windows messages are used, any other application should be able to communicate with a Vim server. An alternative is using the OLE functionality \|ole-interface\|. When using gvim, the --remote-wait only works properly this way: > start /w gvim --remote-wait file.txt < vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	8.22 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 repeat.txt repeat.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Feb 13 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Repeating commands, Vim scripts and debugging repeating Chapter 26 of the user manual introduces repeating \|usr_26.txt\|. 1. Single repeats \|single-repeat\| 2. Multiple repeats \|multi-repeat\| 3. Complex repeats \|complex-repeat\| 4. Using Vim scripts \|using-scripts\| 5. Using Vim packages \|packages\| 6. Creating Vim packages \|package-create\| 7. Debugging scripts \|debug-scripts\| 8. Profiling \|profiling\| ============================================================================== 1. Single repeats single-repeat . . Repeat last change, with count replaced with [count]. Also repeat a yank command, when the 'y' flag is included in 'cpoptions'. Does not repeat a command-line command. Simple changes can be repeated with the "." command. Without a count, the count of the last change is used. If you enter a count, it will replace the last one. \|v:count\| and \|v:count1\| will be set. If the last change included a specification of a numbered register, the register number will be incremented. See \|redo-register\| for an example how to use this. Note that when repeating a command that used a Visual selection, the same SIZE of area is used, see \|visual-repeat\|. @: @: Repeat last command-line [count] times. {not available when compiled without the \|+cmdline_hist\| feature} ============================================================================== 2. Multiple repeats multi-repeat :g :global E148 :[range]g[lobal]/{pattern}/[cmd] Execute the Ex command [cmd] (default ":p") on the lines within [range] where {pattern} matches. :[range]g[lobal]!/{pattern}/[cmd] Execute the Ex command [cmd] (default ":p") on the lines within [range] where {pattern} does NOT match. :v :vglobal :[range]v[global]/{pattern}/[cmd] Same as :g!. Instead of the '/' which surrounds the {pattern}, you can use any other single byte character, but not an alphabetic character, '\', '"' or '\|'. This is useful if you want to include a '/' in the search pattern or replacement string. For the definition of a pattern, see \|pattern\|. NOTE [cmd] may contain a range; see \|collapse\| and \|edit-paragraph-join\| for examples. The global commands work by first scanning through the [range] lines and marking each line where a match occurs (for a multi-line pattern, only the start of the match matters). In a second scan the [cmd] is executed for each marked line, as if the cursor was in that line. For ":v" and ":g!" the command is executed for each not marked line. If a line is deleted its mark disappears. The default for [range] is the whole buffer (1,$). Use "CTRL-C" to interrupt the command. If an error message is given for a line, the command for that line is aborted and the global command continues with the next marked or unmarked line. E147 When the command is used recursively, it only works on one line. Giving a range is then not allowed. This is useful to find all lines that match a pattern and do not match another pattern: > :g/found/v/notfound/{cmd} This first finds all lines containing "found", but only executes {cmd} when there is no match for "notfound". To execute a non-Ex command, you can use the `:normal` command: > :g/pat/normal {commands} Make sure that {commands} ends with a whole command, otherwise Vim will wait for you to type the rest of the command for each match. The screen will not have been updated, so you don't know what you are doing. See \|:normal\|. The undo/redo command will undo/redo the whole global command at once. The previous context mark will only be set once (with "''" you go back to where the cursor was before the global command). The global command sets both the last used search pattern and the last used substitute pattern (this is vi compatible). This makes it easy to globally replace a string: :g/pat/s//PAT/g This replaces all occurrences of "pat" with "PAT". The same can be done with: :%s/pat/PAT/g Which is two characters shorter! When using "global" in Ex mode, a special case is using ":visual" as a command. This will move to a matching line, go to Normal mode to let you execute commands there until you use \|Q\| to return to Ex mode. This will be repeated for each matching line. While doing this you cannot use ":global". To abort this type CTRL-C twice. ============================================================================== 3. Complex repeats complex-repeat q recording q{0-9a-zA-Z"} Record typed characters into register {0-9a-zA-Z"} (uppercase to append). The 'q' command is disabled while executing a register, and it doesn't work inside a mapping and \|:normal\|. Note: If the register being used for recording is also used for \|y\| and \|p\| the result is most likely not what is expected, because the put will paste the recorded macro and the yank will overwrite the recorded macro. Note: The recording happens while you type, replaying the register happens as if the keys come from a mapping. This matters, for example, for undo, which only syncs when commands were typed. q Stops recording. (Implementation note: The 'q' that stops recording is not stored in the register, unless it was the result of a mapping) @ @{0-9a-z".=+} Execute the contents of register {0-9a-z".=+} [count] times. Note that register '%' (name of the current file) and '#' (name of the alternate file) cannot be used. The register is executed like a mapping, that means that the difference between 'wildchar' and 'wildcharm' applies, and undo might not be synced in the same way. For "@=" you are prompted to enter an expression. The result of the expression is then executed. See also \|@:\|. @@ E748 @@ Repeat the previous @{0-9a-z":} [count] times. :[addr]{0-9a-z".=+} :@ :star :[addr]@{0-9a-z".=+} Execute the contents of register {0-9a-z".=+} as an Ex command. First set cursor at line [addr] (default is current line). When the last line in the register does not have a <CR> it will be added automatically when the 'e' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. Note that the ":" command is only recognized when the '' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. This is NOT the default when 'nocompatible' is used. For ":@=" the last used expression is used. The result of evaluating the expression is executed as an Ex command. Mappings are not recognized in these commands. When the \|line-continuation\| character (\) is present at the beginning of a line in a linewise register, then it is combined with the previous line. This is useful for yanking and executing parts of a Vim script. Future: Will execute the register for each line in the address range. :@: :[addr]@: Repeat last command-line. First set cursor at line [addr] (default is current line). :[addr]@ :@@ :[addr]@@ Repeat the previous :@{register}. First set cursor at line [addr] (default is current line). ============================================================================== 4. Using Vim scripts using-scripts For writing a Vim script, see chapter 41 of the user manual \|usr_41.txt\|. :so :source load-vim-script :so[urce] {file} Read Ex commands from {file}. These are commands that start with a ":". Triggers the \|SourcePre\| autocommand. :source! :so[urce]! {file} Read Vim commands from {file}. These are commands that are executed from Normal mode, like you type them. When used after \|:global\|, \|:argdo\|, \|:windo\|, \|:bufdo\|, in a loop or when another command follows the display won't be updated while executing the commands. Cannot be used in the \|sandbox\|. :ru :runtime :ru[ntime][!] [where] {file} .. Read Ex commands from {file} in each directory given by 'runtimepath' and/or 'packpath'. There is no error for non-existing files. Example: > :runtime syntax/c.vim < There can be multiple {file} arguments, separated by spaces. Each {file} is searched for in the first directory from 'runtimepath', then in the second directory, etc. Use a backslash to include a space inside {file} (although it's better not to use spaces in file names, it causes trouble). When [!] is included, all found files are sourced. When it is not included only the first found file is sourced. When [where] is omitted only 'runtimepath' is used. Other values: START search under "start" in 'packpath' OPT search under "opt" in 'packpath' PACK search under "start" and "opt" in 'packpath' ALL first use 'runtimepath', then search under "start" and "opt" in 'packpath' When {file} contains wildcards it is expanded to all matching files. Example: > :runtime! plugin/*/.vim < This is what Vim uses to load the plugin files when starting up. This similar command: > :runtime plugin/*/.vim < would source the first file only. When 'verbose' is one or higher, there is a message when no file could be found. When 'verbose' is two or higher, there is a message about each searched file. :pa :packadd E919 :pa[ckadd][!] {name} Search for an optional plugin directory in 'packpath' and source any plugin files found. The directory must match: pack//opt/{name} ~ The directory is added to 'runtimepath' if it wasn't there yet. If the directory pack//opt/{name}/after exists it is added at the end of 'runtimepath'. If loading packages from "pack//start" was skipped, then this directory is searched first: pack//start/{name} ~ Note that {name} is the directory name, not the name of the .vim file. All the files matching the pattern pack//opt/{name}/plugin//.vim ~ will be sourced. This allows for using subdirectories below "plugin", just like with plugins in 'runtimepath'. If the filetype detection was not enabled yet (this is usually done with a "syntax enable" or "filetype on" command in your .vimrc file), this will also look for "{name}/ftdetect/.vim" files. When the optional ! is added no plugin files or ftdetect scripts are loaded, only the matching directories are added to 'runtimepath'. This is useful in your .vimrc. The plugins will then be loaded during initialization, see \|load-plugins\|. Note that for ftdetect scripts to be loaded you will need to write `filetype plugin indent on` AFTER all `packadd!` commands. Also see \|pack-add\|. {only available when compiled with \|+eval\|} :packl* :packloadall :packl[oadall][!] Load all packages in the "start" directory under each entry in 'packpath'. First all the directories found are added to 'runtimepath', then the plugins found in the directories are sourced. This allows for a plugin to depend on something of another plugin, e.g. an "autoload" directory. See \|packload-two-steps\| for how this can be useful. This is normally done automatically during startup, after loading your .vimrc file. With this command it can be done earlier. Packages will be loaded only once. Using `:packloadall` a second time will have no effect. When the optional ! is added this command will load packages even when done before. Note that when using `:packloadall` in the \|vimrc\| file, the 'runtimepath' option is updated, and later all plugins in 'runtimepath' will be loaded, which means they are loaded again. Plugins are expected to handle that. An error only causes sourcing the script where it happens to be aborted, further plugins will be loaded. See \|packages\|. {only available when compiled with \|+eval\|} :scripte[ncoding] [encoding] :scripte :scriptencoding E167 Specify the character encoding used in the script. The following lines will be converted from [encoding] to the value of the 'encoding' option, if they are different. Examples: > scriptencoding iso-8859-5 scriptencoding cp932 < When [encoding] is empty, no conversion is done. This can be used to restrict conversion to a sequence of lines: > scriptencoding euc-jp ... lines to be converted ... scriptencoding ... not converted ... < When conversion isn't supported by the system, there is no error message and no conversion is done. When a line can't be converted there is no error and the original line is kept. Don't use "ucs-2" or "ucs-4", scripts cannot be in these encodings (they would contain NUL bytes). When a sourced script starts with a BOM (Byte Order Mark) in utf-8 format Vim will recognize it, no need to use ":scriptencoding utf-8" then. If you set the 'encoding' option in your \|.vimrc\|, `:scriptencoding` must be placed after that. E.g.: > set encoding=utf-8 scriptencoding utf-8 < :scriptv[ersion] {version} :scriptv :scriptversion E999 E984 Specify the version of Vim for the lines that follow in the same file. Only applies at the toplevel of sourced scripts, not inside functions. If {version} is higher than what the current Vim version supports E999 will be given. You either need to rewrite the script to make it work with an older Vim version, or update Vim to a newer version. See \|vimscript-version\| for what changed between versions. :vim9s[cript] [noclear] :vim9s :vim9script Marks a script file as containing \|Vim9-script\| commands. Also see \|vim9-namespace\|. Must be the first command in the file. For [noclear] see \|vim9-reload\|. Without the \|+eval\| feature this changes the syntax for some commands. See \|:vim9cmd\| for executing one command with Vim9 syntax and semantics. :scr :scriptnames :scr[iptnames] List all sourced script names, in the order they were first sourced. The number is used for the script ID \|<SID>\|. {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} :scr[iptnames][!] {scriptId} :script Edit script {scriptId}. Although ":scriptnames name" works, using ":script name" is recommended. When the current buffer can't be \|abandon\|ed and the ! is not present, the command fails. :fini :finish E168 :fini[sh] Stop sourcing a script. Can only be used in a Vim script file. This is a quick way to skip the rest of the file. If it is used after a \|:try\| but before the matching \|:finally\| (if present), the commands following the ":finally" up to the matching \|:endtry\| are executed first. This process applies to all nested ":try"s in the script. The outermost ":endtry" then stops sourcing the script. All commands and command sequences can be repeated by putting them in a named register and then executing it. There are two ways to get the commands in the register: - Use the record command "q". You type the commands once, and while they are being executed they are stored in a register. Easy, because you can see what you are doing. If you make a mistake, "p"ut the register into the file, edit the command sequence, and then delete it into the register again. You can continue recording by appending to the register (use an uppercase letter). - Delete or yank the command sequence into the register. Often used command sequences can be put under a function key with the ':map' command. An alternative is to put the commands in a file, and execute them with the ':source!' command. Useful for long command sequences. Can be combined with the ':map' command to put complicated commands under a function key. The ':source' command reads Ex commands from a file line by line. You will have to type any needed keyboard input. The ':source!' command reads from a script file character by character, interpreting each character as if you typed it. Example: When you give the ":!ls" command you get the \|hit-enter\| prompt. If you ':source' a file with the line "!ls" in it, you will have to type the <Enter> yourself. But if you ':source!' a file with the line ":!ls" in it, the next characters from that file are read until a <CR> is found. You will not have to type <CR> yourself, unless ":!ls" was the last line in the file. It is possible to put ':source[!]' commands in the script file, so you can make a top-down hierarchy of script files. The ':source' command can be nested as deep as the number of files that can be opened at one time (about 15). The ':source!' command can be nested up to 15 levels deep. You can use the "<sfile>" string (literally, this is not a special key) inside of the sourced file, in places where a file name is expected. It will be replaced by the file name of the sourced file. For example, if you have a "other.vimrc" file in the same directory as your ".vimrc" file, you can source it from your ".vimrc" file with this command: > :source <sfile>:h/other.vimrc In script files terminal-dependent key codes are represented by terminal-independent two character codes. This means that they can be used in the same way on different kinds of terminals. The first character of a key code is 0x80 or 128, shown on the screen as "~@". The second one can be found in the list \|key-notation\|. Any of these codes can also be entered with CTRL-V followed by the three digit decimal code. This does NOT work for the <t_xx> termcap codes, these can only be used in mappings. :source_crnl W15 Win32: Files that are read with ":source" normally have <CR><NL> <EOL>s. These always work. If you are using a file with <NL> <EOL>s (for example, a file made on Unix), this will be recognized if 'fileformats' is not empty and the first line does not end in a <CR>. This fails if the first line has something like ":map <F1> :help^M", where "^M" is a <CR>. If the first line ends in a <CR>, but following ones don't, you will get an error message, because the <CR> from the first lines will be lost. Mac Classic: Files that are read with ":source" normally have <CR> <EOL>s. These always work. If you are using a file with <NL> <EOL>s (for example, a file made on Unix), this will be recognized if 'fileformats' is not empty and the first line does not end in a <CR>. Be careful not to use a file with <NL> linebreaks which has a <CR> in first line. On other systems, Vim expects ":source"ed files to end in a <NL>. These always work. If you are using a file with <CR><NL> <EOL>s (for example, a file made on MS-Windows), all lines will have a trailing <CR>. This may cause problems for some commands (e.g., mappings). There is no automatic <EOL> detection, because it's common to start with a line that defines a mapping that ends in a <CR>, which will confuse the automaton. line-continuation Long lines in a ":source"d Ex command script file can be split by inserting a line continuation symbol "\" (backslash) at the start of the next line. There can be white space before the backslash, which is ignored. Example: the lines > :set comments=sr:/,mb:,el:/, \://, \b:#, \:%, \n:>, \fb:- are interpreted as if they were given in one line: :set comments=sr:/,mb:,el:/,://,b:#,:%,n:>,fb:- All leading whitespace characters in the line before a backslash are ignored. Note however that trailing whitespace in the line before it cannot be inserted freely; it depends on the position where a command is split up whether additional whitespace is allowed or not. When a space is required it's best to put it right after the backslash. A space at the end of a line is hard to see and may be accidentally deleted. > :syn match Comment \ "very long regexp" \ keepend There is a problem with the ":append" and ":insert" commands: > :1append \asdf . The backslash is seen as a line-continuation symbol, thus this results in the command: > :1appendasdf . To avoid this, add the 'C' flag to the 'cpoptions' option: > :set cpo+=C :1append \asdf . :set cpo-=C Note that when the commands are inside a function, you need to add the 'C' flag when defining the function, it is not relevant when executing it. > :set cpo+=C :function Foo() :1append \asdf . :endfunction :set cpo-=C < line-continuation-comment To add a comment in between the lines start with '"\ '. Notice the space after the backslash. Example: > let array = [ "\ first entry comment \ 'first', "\ second entry comment \ 'second', \ ] Rationale: Most programs work with a trailing backslash to indicate line continuation. Using this in Vim would cause incompatibility with Vi. For example for this Vi mapping: > :map xx asdf\ < Therefore the unusual leading backslash is used. Starting a comment in a continuation line results in all following continuation lines to be part of the comment. Since it was like this for a long time, when making it possible to add a comment halfway a sequence of continuation lines, it was not possible to use \", since that was a valid continuation line. Using '"\ ' comes closest, even though it may look a bit weird. Requiring the space after the backslash is to make it very unlikely this is a normal comment line. ============================================================================== 5. Using Vim packages packages A Vim package is a directory that contains one or more plugins. The advantages over normal plugins: - A package can be downloaded as an archive and unpacked in its own directory. Thus the files are not mixed with files of other plugins. That makes it easy to update and remove. - A package can be a git, mercurial, etc. repository. That makes it really easy to update. - A package can contain multiple plugins that depend on each other. - A package can contain plugins that are automatically loaded on startup and ones that are only loaded when needed with `:packadd`. Using a package and loading automatically ~ Let's assume your Vim files are in the "~/.vim" directory and you want to add a package from a zip archive "/tmp/foopack.zip": % mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/foo % cd ~/.vim/pack/foo % unzip /tmp/foopack.zip The directory name "foo" is arbitrary, you can pick anything you like. You would now have these files under ~/.vim: pack/foo/README.txt pack/foo/start/foobar/plugin/foo.vim pack/foo/start/foobar/syntax/some.vim pack/foo/opt/foodebug/plugin/debugger.vim When Vim starts up, after processing your .vimrc, it scans all directories in 'packpath' for plugins under the "pack//start" directory. First all those directories are added to 'runtimepath'. Then all the plugins are loaded. See \|packload-two-steps\| for how these two steps can be useful. In the example Vim will find "pack/foo/start/foobar/plugin/foo.vim" and adds "~/.vim/pack/foo/start/foobar" to 'runtimepath'. If the "foobar" plugin kicks in and sets the 'filetype' to "some", Vim will find the syntax/some.vim file, because its directory is in 'runtimepath'. Vim will also load ftdetect files, if there are any. Note that the files under "pack/foo/opt" are not loaded automatically, only the ones under "pack/foo/start". See \|pack-add\| below for how the "opt" directory is used. Loading packages automatically will not happen if loading plugins is disabled, see \|load-plugins\|. To load packages earlier, so that 'runtimepath' gets updated: > :packloadall This also works when loading plugins is disabled. The automatic loading will only happen once. If the package has an "after" directory, that directory is added to the end of 'runtimepath', so that anything there will be loaded later. Using a single plugin and loading it automatically ~ If you don't have a package but a single plugin, you need to create the extra directory level: % mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/foo/start/foobar % cd ~/.vim/pack/foo/start/foobar % unzip /tmp/someplugin.zip You would now have these files: pack/foo/start/foobar/plugin/foo.vim pack/foo/start/foobar/syntax/some.vim From here it works like above. Optional plugins ~ pack-add* To load an optional plugin from a pack use the `:packadd` command: > :packadd foodebug This searches for "pack//opt/foodebug" in 'packpath' and will find ~/.vim/pack/foo/opt/foodebug/plugin/debugger.vim and source it. This could be done if some conditions are met. For example, depending on whether Vim supports a feature or a dependency is missing. You can also load an optional plugin at startup, by putting this command in your \|.vimrc\|: > :packadd! foodebug The extra "!" is so that the plugin isn't loaded if Vim was started with \|--noplugin\|. It is perfectly normal for a package to only have files in the "opt" directory. You then need to load each plugin when you want to use it. Where to put what ~ Since color schemes, loaded with `:colorscheme`, are found below "pack//start" and "pack//opt", you could put them anywhere. We recommend you put them below "pack//opt", for example ".vim/pack/mycolors/opt/dark/colors/very_dark.vim". Filetype plugins should go under "pack//start", so that they are always found. Unless you have more than one plugin for a file type and want to select which one to load with `:packadd`. E.g. depending on the compiler version: > if foo_compiler_version > 34 packadd foo_new else packadd foo_old endif The "after" directory is most likely not useful in a package. It's not disallowed though. ============================================================================== 6. Creating Vim packages package-create* This assumes you write one or more plugins that you distribute as a package. If you have two unrelated plugins you would use two packages, so that Vim users can choose what they include or not. Or you can decide to use one package with optional plugins, and tell the user to add the preferred ones with `:packadd`. Decide how you want to distribute the package. You can create an archive or you could use a repository. An archive can be used by more users, but is a bit harder to update to a new version. A repository can usually be kept up-to-date easily, but it requires a program like "git" to be available. You can do both, github can automatically create an archive for a release. Your directory layout would be like this: start/foobar/plugin/foo.vim " always loaded, defines commands start/foobar/plugin/bar.vim " always loaded, defines commands start/foobar/autoload/foo.vim " loaded when foo command used start/foobar/doc/foo.txt " help for foo.vim start/foobar/doc/tags " help tags opt/fooextra/plugin/extra.vim " optional plugin, defines commands opt/fooextra/autoload/extra.vim " loaded when extra command used opt/fooextra/doc/extra.txt " help for extra.vim opt/fooextra/doc/tags " help tags This allows for the user to do: > mkdir ~/.vim/pack cd ~/.vim/pack git clone https://github.com/you/foobar.git myfoobar Here "myfoobar" is a name that the user can choose, the only condition is that it differs from other packages. In your documentation you explain what the plugins do, and tell the user how to load the optional plugin: > :packadd! fooextra You could add this packadd command in one of your plugins, to be executed when the optional plugin is needed. Run the `:helptags` command to generate the doc/tags file. Including this generated file in the package means that the user can drop the package in the pack directory and the help command works right away. Don't forget to re-run the command after changing the plugin help: > :helptags path/start/foobar/doc :helptags path/opt/fooextra/doc Dependencies between plugins ~ packload-two-steps Suppose you have two plugins that depend on the same functionality. You can put the common functionality in an autoload directory, so that it will be found automatically. Your package would have these files: pack/foo/start/one/plugin/one.vim > call foolib#getit() < pack/foo/start/two/plugin/two.vim > call foolib#getit() < pack/foo/start/lib/autoload/foolib.vim > func foolib#getit() This works, because loading packages will first add all found directories to 'runtimepath' before sourcing the plugins. ============================================================================== 7. Debugging scripts debug-scripts Besides the obvious messages that you can add to your scripts to find out what they are doing, Vim offers a debug mode. This allows you to step through a sourced file or user function and set breakpoints. NOTE: The debugging mode is far from perfect. Debugging will have side effects on how Vim works. You cannot use it to debug everything. For example, the display is messed up by the debugging messages. An alternative to debug mode is setting the 'verbose' option. With a bigger number it will give more verbose messages about what Vim is doing. STARTING DEBUG MODE debug-mode To enter debugging mode use one of these methods: 1. Start Vim with the \|-D\| argument: > vim -D file.txt < Debugging will start as soon as the first vimrc file is sourced. This is useful to find out what is happening when Vim is starting up. A side effect is that Vim will switch the terminal mode before initialisations have finished, with unpredictable results. For a GUI-only version (Windows, Macintosh) the debugging will start as soon as the GUI window has been opened. To make this happen early, add a ":gui" command in the vimrc file. :debug 2. Run a command with ":debug" prepended. Debugging will only be done while this command executes. Useful for debugging a specific script or user function. And for scripts and functions used by autocommands. Example: > :debug edit test.txt.gz 3. Set a breakpoint in a sourced file or user function. You could do this in the command line: > vim -c "breakadd file /explorer.vim" . < This will run Vim and stop in the first line of the "explorer.vim" script. Breakpoints can also be set while in debugging mode. In debugging mode every executed command is displayed before it is executed. Comment lines, empty lines and lines that are not executed are skipped. When a line contains two commands, separated by "\|", each command will be displayed separately. DEBUG MODE Once in debugging mode, the usual Ex commands can be used. For example, to inspect the value of a variable: > echo idx When inside a user function, this will print the value of the local variable "idx". Prepend "g:" to get the value of a global variable: > echo g:idx All commands are executed in the context of the current function or script. You can also set options, for example setting or resetting 'verbose' will show what happens, but you might want to set it just before executing the lines you are interested in: > :set verbose=20 Commands that require updating the screen should be avoided, because their effect won't be noticed until after leaving debug mode. For example: > :help won't be very helpful. There is a separate command-line history for debug mode. The line number for a function line is relative to the start of the function. If you have trouble figuring out where you are, edit the file that defines the function in another Vim, search for the start of the function and do "99j". Replace "99" with the line number. Additionally, these commands can be used: >cont* cont Continue execution until the next breakpoint is hit. >quit quit Abort execution. This is like using CTRL-C, some things might still be executed, doesn't abort everything. Still stops at the next breakpoint. >next next Execute the command and come back to debug mode when it's finished. This steps over user function calls and sourced files. >step step Execute the command and come back to debug mode for the next command. This steps into called user functions and sourced files. >interrupt interrupt This is like using CTRL-C, but unlike ">quit" comes back to debug mode for the next command that is executed. Useful for testing \|:finally\| and \|:catch\| on interrupt exceptions. >finish finish Finish the current script or user function and come back to debug mode for the command after the one that sourced or called it. >bt >backtrace >where backtrace Show the call stacktrace for current debugging session. bt where >frame frame N Goes to N backtrace level. + and - signs make movement relative. E.g., ":frame +3" goes three frames up. >up up Goes one level up from call stacktrace. >down down Goes one level down from call stacktrace. About the additional commands in debug mode: - There is no command-line completion for them, you get the completion for the normal Ex commands only. - You can shorten them, up to a single character, unless more than one command starts with the same letter. "f" stands for "finish", use "fr" for "frame". - Hitting <CR> will repeat the previous one. When doing another command, this is reset (because it's not clear what you want to repeat). - When you want to use the Ex command with the same name, prepend a colon: ":cont", ":next", ":finish" (or shorter). The backtrace shows the hierarchy of function calls, e.g.: >bt ~ 3 function One[3] ~ 2 Two[3] ~ ->1 Three[3] ~ 0 Four ~ line 1: let four = 4 ~ The "->" points to the current frame. Use "up", "down" and "frame N" to select another frame. In the current frame you can evaluate the local function variables. There is no way to see the command at the current line yet. DEFINING BREAKPOINTS :breaka :breakadd :breaka[dd] func [lnum] {name} Set a breakpoint in a function. Example: > :breakadd func Explore < Doesn't check for a valid function name, thus the breakpoint can be set before the function is defined. :breaka[dd] file [lnum] {name} Set a breakpoint in a sourced file. Example: > :breakadd file 43 .vimrc :breaka[dd] here Set a breakpoint in the current line of the current file. Like doing: > :breakadd file <cursor-line> <current-file> < Note that this only works for commands that are executed when sourcing the file, not for a function defined in that file. :breaka[dd] expr {expression} Sets a breakpoint, that will break whenever the {expression} evaluates to a different value. Example: > :breakadd expr g:lnum < Will break, whenever the global variable lnum changes. Note if you watch a \|script-variable\| this will break when switching scripts, since the script variable is only valid in the script where it has been defined and if that script is called from several other scripts, this will stop whenever that particular variable will become visible or inaccessible again. The [lnum] is the line number of the breakpoint. Vim will stop at or after this line. When omitted line 1 is used. :debug-name {name} is a pattern that is matched with the file or function name. The pattern is like what is used for autocommands. There must be a full match (as if the pattern starts with "^" and ends in "$"). A "" matches any sequence of characters. 'ignorecase' is not used, but "\c" can be used in the pattern to ignore case \|/\c\|. Don't include the () for the function name! The match for sourced scripts is done against the full file name. If no path is specified the current directory is used. Examples: > breakadd file explorer.vim matches "explorer.vim" in the current directory. > breakadd file explorer.vim matches ".../plugin/explorer.vim", ".../plugin/iexplorer.vim", etc. > breakadd file /explorer.vim matches ".../plugin/explorer.vim" and "explorer.vim" in any other directory. The match for functions is done against the name as it's shown in the output of ":function". However, for local functions the script-specific prefix such as "<SNR>99_" is ignored to make it easier to match script-local functions without knowing the ID of the script. Note that functions are first loaded and later executed. When they are loaded the "file" breakpoints are checked, when they are executed the "func" breakpoints. DELETING BREAKPOINTS :breakd* :breakdel E161 :breakd[el] {nr} Delete breakpoint {nr}. Use \|:breaklist\| to see the number of each breakpoint. :breakd[el] * Delete all breakpoints. :breakd[el] func [lnum] {name} Delete a breakpoint in a function. :breakd[el] file [lnum] {name} Delete a breakpoint in a sourced file. :breakd[el] here Delete a breakpoint at the current line of the current file. When [lnum] is omitted, the first breakpoint in the function or file is deleted. The {name} must be exactly the same as what was typed for the ":breakadd" command. "explorer", "explorer.vim" and "explorer" are different. LISTING BREAKPOINTS :breakl* :breaklist :breakl[ist] List all breakpoints. OBSCURE :debugg :debuggreedy :debugg[reedy] Read debug mode commands from the normal input stream, instead of getting them directly from the user. Only useful for test scripts. Example: > echo 'q^Mq' \| vim -e -s -c debuggreedy -c 'breakadd file script.vim' -S script.vim :0debugg[reedy] Undo ":debuggreedy": get debug mode commands directly from the user, don't use typeahead for debug commands. ============================================================================== 8. Profiling profile profiling Profiling means that Vim measures the time that is spent on executing functions and/or scripts. The \|+profile\| feature is required for this. It is included when Vim was compiled with "huge" features. You can also use the \|reltime()\| function to measure time. This only requires the \|+reltime\| feature, which is present in more builds. For profiling syntax highlighting see \|:syntime\|. For example, to profile the one_script.vim script file: > :profile start /tmp/one_script_profile :profile file one_script.vim :source one_script.vim :exit :prof[ile] start {fname} :prof :profile E750 Start profiling, write the output in {fname} upon exit. "~/" and environment variables in {fname} will be expanded. If {fname} already exists it will be silently overwritten. The variable \|v:profiling\| is set to one. :prof[ile] pause Don't profile until the following ":profile continue". Can be used when doing something that should not be counted (e.g., an external command). Does not nest. :prof[ile] continue Continue profiling after ":profile pause". :prof[ile] func {pattern} Profile function that matches the pattern {pattern}. See \|:debug-name\| for how {pattern} is used. :prof[ile][!] file {pattern} Profile script file that matches the pattern {pattern}. See \|:debug-name\| for how {pattern} is used. This only profiles the script itself, not the functions defined in it. When the [!] is added then all functions defined in the script will also be profiled. Note that profiling only starts when the script is loaded after this command. A :profile command in the script itself won't work. :profd[el] ... :profd :profdel Stop profiling for the arguments specified. See \|:breakdel\| for the arguments. You must always start with a ":profile start fname" command. The resulting file is written when Vim exits. For example, to profile one specific function: > profile start /tmp/vimprofile profile func MyFunc Here is an example of the output, with line numbers prepended for the explanation: 1 FUNCTION Test2() ~ 2 Called 1 time ~ 3 Total time: 0.155251 ~ 4 Self time: 0.002006 ~ 5 ~ 6 count total (s) self (s) ~ 7 9 0.000096 for i in range(8) ~ 8 8 0.153655 0.000410 call Test3() ~ 9 8 0.000070 endfor ~ 10 " Ask a question ~ 11 1 0.001341 echo input("give me an answer: ") ~ The header (lines 1-4) gives the time for the whole function. The "Total" time is the time passed while the function was executing. The "Self" time is the "Total" time reduced by time spent in: - other user defined functions - sourced scripts - executed autocommands - external (shell) commands Lines 7-11 show the time spent in each executed line. Lines that are not executed do not count. Thus a comment line is never counted. The Count column shows how many times a line was executed. Note that the "for" command in line 7 is executed one more time as the following lines. That is because the line is also executed to detect the end of the loop. The time Vim spends waiting for user input isn't counted at all. Thus how long you take to respond to the input() prompt is irrelevant. Profiling should give a good indication of where time is spent, but keep in mind there are various things that may clobber the results: - The accuracy of the time measured depends on the gettimeofday() system function. It may only be as accurate as 1/100 second, even though the times are displayed in micro seconds. - Real elapsed time is measured, if other processes are busy they may cause delays at unpredictable moments. You may want to run the profiling several times and use the lowest results. - If you have several commands in one line you only get one time. Split the line to see the time for the individual commands. - The time of the lines added up is mostly less than the time of the whole function. There is some overhead in between. - Functions that are deleted before Vim exits will not produce profiling information. You can check the \|v:profiling\| variable if needed: > :if !v:profiling : delfunc MyFunc :endif < - Profiling may give weird results on multi-processor systems, when sleep mode kicks in or the processor frequency is reduced to save power. - The "self" time is wrong when a function is used recursively. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	41.2 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 rileft.txt rileft.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 May 05 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Avner Lottem updated by Nadim Shaikli Right to Left display mode for Vim rileft These functions were originally created by Avner Lottem: E-mail: alottem@iil.intel.com Phone: +972-4-8307322 E26 {only available when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature} Introduction ------------ Some languages such as Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew (among others) require the ability to display their text from right-to-left. Files in those languages are stored conventionally and the right-to-left requirement is only a function of the display engine (per the Unicode specification). In right-to-left oriented files the characters appear on the screen from right to left. Bidirectionality (or bidi for short) is what Unicode offers as a full solution to these languages. Bidi offers the user the ability to view both right-to-left as well as left-to-right text properly at the same time within the same window. Vim currently, due to simplicity, does not offer bidi and is merely opting to present a functional means to display/enter/use right-to-left languages. An older hybrid solution in which direction is encoded for every character (or group of characters) are not supported either as this kind of support is out of the scope of a simple addition to an existing editor (and it's not sanctioned by Unicode either). Highlights ---------- o Editing left-to-right files as in the original Vim, no change. o Viewing and editing files in right-to-left windows. File orientation is per window, so it is possible to view the same file in right-to-left and left-to-right modes, simultaneously. (Useful for editing mixed files in which both right-to-left and left-to-right text exist). o Compatibility to the original Vim. Almost all features work in right-to-left mode (see Bugs below). o Backing from reverse insert mode to the correct place in the file (if possible). o No special terminal with right-to-left capabilities is required. The right-to-left changes are completely hardware independent. o Many languages use and require right-to-left support. These languages can quite easily be supported given the inclusion of their required keyboard mappings and some possible minor code change. Some of the current supported languages include - \|arabic.txt\|, \|farsi.txt\| and \|hebrew.txt\|. Of Interest... -------------- o Invocations ----------- + 'rightleft' ('rl') sets window orientation to right-to-left. + 'delcombine' ('deco'), boolean, if editing UTF-8 encoded languages, allows one to remove a composing character which gets superimposed on those that preceded them (some languages require this). + 'rightleftcmd' ('rlc') sets the command-line within certain modes (such as search) to be utilized in right-to-left orientation as well. o Typing backwards ins-reverse ---------------- In lieu of using full-fledged the 'rightleft' option, one can opt for reverse insertion. When the 'revins' (reverse insert) option is set, inserting happens backwards. This can be used to type right-to-left text. When inserting characters the cursor is not moved and the text moves rightwards. A <BS> deletes the character under the cursor. CTRL-W and CTRL-U also work in the opposite direction. <BS>, CTRL-W and CTRL-U do not stop at the start of insert or end of line, no matter how the 'backspace' option is set. There is no reverse replace mode (yet). If the 'showmode' option is set, "-- REVERSE INSERT --" will be shown in the status line when reverse Insert mode is active. o Pasting when in a rightleft window ---------------------------------- When cutting text with the mouse and pasting it in a rightleft window the text will be reversed, because the characters come from the cut buffer from the left to the right, while inserted in the file from the right to the left. In order to avoid it, toggle 'revins' before pasting. Bugs ---- o Does not handle CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands (add and subtract) correctly when in rightleft window. o Does not support reverse insert and rightleft modes on the command-line. However, functionality of the editor is not reduced, because it is possible to enter mappings, abbreviations and searches typed from the left to the right on the command-line. o Somewhat slower in right-to-left mode, because right-to-left motion is emulated inside Vim, not by the controlling terminal. o When the Athena GUI is used, the bottom scrollbar works in the wrong direction. This is difficult to fix. o When both 'rightleft' and 'revins' are on: 'textwidth' does not work. Lines do not wrap at all; you just get a single, long line. o There is no full bidirectionality (bidi) support. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	4.82 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 russian.txt russian.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2006 Apr 24 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Vassily Ragosin Russian language localization and support in Vim russian Russian 1. Introduction \|russian-intro\| 2. Russian keymaps \|russian-keymap\| 3. Localization \|russian-l18n\| 4. Known issues \|russian-issues\| =============================================================================== 1. Introduction russian-intro Russian language is supported perfectly well in Vim. You can type and view Russian text just as any other, without the need to tweak the settings. =============================================================================== 2. Russian keymaps russian-keymap To switch between languages you can use your system native keyboard switcher, or use one of the Russian keymaps, included in the Vim distribution. For example, > :set keymap=russian-jcukenwin < In the latter case, you can switch between languages even if you do not have system Russian keyboard or independently from a system-wide keyboard settings. See 'keymap'. You can also map a key to switch between keyboards, if you choose the latter option. See \|:map\|. For your convenience, to avoid switching between keyboards, when you need to enter Normal mode command, you can also set 'langmap' option: > :set langmap=ФИСВУАПРШОЛДЬТЩЗЙКЫЕГМЦЧНЯ;ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, фисвуапршолдьтщзйкыегмцчня;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz This is in utf-8, you cannot read this if your 'encoding' is not utf-8. You have to type this command in one line, it is wrapped for the sake of readability. =============================================================================== 3. Localization russian-l18n If you wish to use messages, help files, menus and other items translated to Russian, you will need to install the RuVim Language Pack, available in different codepages from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ruvim/ Make sure that your Vim is at least 6.2.506 and use ruvim 0.5 or later for automatic installs. Vim also needs to be compiled with \|+gettext\| feature for user interface items translations to work. After downloading an archive from RuVim project, unpack it into your $VIMRUNTIME directory. We recommend using UTF-8 archive. In order to use the Russian documentation, make sure you have set the 'helplang' option to "ru". =============================================================================== 4. Known issues russian-issues -- If you are using Russian message translations in Win32 console, then you may see the output produced by "vim --help", "vim --version" commands and Win32 console window title appearing in a wrong codepage. This problem is related to a bug in GNU gettext library and may be fixed in the future releases of gettext. =============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	2.95 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 scroll.txt scroll.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 May 13 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Scrolling scrolling These commands move the contents of the window. If the cursor position is moved off of the window, the cursor is moved onto the window (with 'scrolloff' screen lines around it). A page is the number of lines in the window minus two. The mnemonics for these commands may be a bit confusing. Remember that the commands refer to moving the window (the part of the buffer that you see) upwards or downwards in the buffer. When the window moves upwards in the buffer, the text in the window moves downwards on your screen. See section \|03.7\| of the user manual for an introduction. 1. Scrolling downwards \|scroll-down\| 2. Scrolling upwards \|scroll-up\| 3. Scrolling relative to cursor \|scroll-cursor\| 4. Scrolling horizontally \|scroll-horizontal\| 5. Scrolling synchronously \|scroll-binding\| 6. Scrolling with a mouse wheel \|scroll-mouse-wheel\| ============================================================================== 1. Scrolling downwards scroll-down The following commands move the edit window (the part of the buffer that you see) downwards (this means that more lines downwards in the text buffer can be seen): CTRL-E CTRL-E Scroll window [count] lines downwards in the buffer. The text moves upwards on the screen. Mnemonic: Extra lines. CTRL-D CTRL-D Scroll window Downwards in the buffer. The number of lines comes from the 'scroll' option (default: half a screen). If [count] given, first set 'scroll' option to [count]. The cursor is moved the same number of lines down in the file (if possible; when lines wrap and when hitting the end of the file there may be a difference). When the cursor is on the last line of the buffer nothing happens and a beep is produced. See also 'startofline' option. <S-Down> or <S-Down> <kPageDown> <PageDown> or <PageDown> CTRL-F CTRL-F Scroll window [count] pages Forwards (downwards) in the buffer. See also 'startofline' option. When there is only one window the 'window' option might be used. z+ z+ Without [count]: Redraw with the line just below the window at the top of the window. Put the cursor in that line, at the first non-blank in the line. With [count]: just like "z<CR>". ============================================================================== 2. Scrolling upwards scroll-up The following commands move the edit window (the part of the buffer that you see) upwards (this means that more lines upwards in the text buffer can be seen): CTRL-Y CTRL-Y Scroll window [count] lines upwards in the buffer. The text moves downwards on the screen. Note: When using the MS-Windows key bindings CTRL-Y is remapped to redo. CTRL-U CTRL-U Scroll window Upwards in the buffer. The number of lines comes from the 'scroll' option (default: half a screen). If [count] given, first set the 'scroll' option to [count]. The cursor is moved the same number of lines up in the file (if possible; when lines wrap and when hitting the end of the file there may be a difference). When the cursor is on the first line of the buffer nothing happens and a beep is produced. See also 'startofline' option. <S-Up> or <S-Up> <kPageUp> <PageUp> or <PageUp> CTRL-B CTRL-B Scroll window [count] pages Backwards (upwards) in the buffer. See also 'startofline' option. When there is only one window the 'window' option might be used. z^ z^ Without [count]: Redraw with the line just above the window at the bottom of the window. Put the cursor in that line, at the first non-blank in the line. With [count]: First scroll the text to put the [count] line at the bottom of the window, then redraw with the line which is now at the top of the window at the bottom of the window. Put the cursor in that line, at the first non-blank in the line. ============================================================================== 3. Scrolling relative to cursor scroll-cursor The following commands reposition the edit window (the part of the buffer that you see) while keeping the cursor on the same line. Note that the 'scrolloff' option may cause context lines to show above and below the cursor. z<CR> z<CR> Redraw, line [count] at top of window (default cursor line). Put cursor at first non-blank in the line. zt zt Like "z<CR>", but leave the cursor in the same column. zN<CR> z{height}<CR> Redraw, make window {height} lines tall. This is useful to make the number of lines small when screen updating is very slow. Cannot make the height more than the physical screen height. z. z. Redraw, line [count] at center of window (default cursor line). Put cursor at first non-blank in the line. zz zz Like "z.", but leave the cursor in the same column. Careful: If caps-lock is on, this command becomes "ZZ": write buffer and exit! z- z- Redraw, line [count] at bottom of window (default cursor line). Put cursor at first non-blank in the line. zb zb Like "z-", but leave the cursor in the same column. ============================================================================== 4. Scrolling horizontally scroll-horizontal For the following four commands the cursor follows the screen. If the character that the cursor is on is moved off the screen, the cursor is moved to the closest character that is on the screen. The value of 'sidescroll' is not used. z<Right> or zl z<Right> zl Move the view on the text [count] characters to the right, thus scroll the text [count] characters to the left. This only works when 'wrap' is off. z<Left> or zh z<Left> zh Move the view on the text [count] characters to the left, thus scroll the text [count] characters to the right. This only works when 'wrap' is off. zL zL Move the view on the text half a screenwidth to the right, thus scroll the text half a screenwidth to the left. This only works when 'wrap' is off. zH zH Move the view on the text half a screenwidth to the left, thus scroll the text half a screenwidth to the right. This only works when 'wrap' is off. For the following two commands the cursor is not moved in the text, only the text scrolls on the screen. zs zs Scroll the text horizontally to position the cursor at the start (left side) of the screen. This only works when 'wrap' is off. ze ze Scroll the text horizontally to position the cursor at the end (right side) of the screen. This only works when 'wrap' is off. ============================================================================== 5. Scrolling synchronously scroll-binding Occasionally, it is desirable to bind two or more windows together such that when one window is scrolled, the other windows are also scrolled. In Vim, windows can be given this behavior by setting the (window-specific) 'scrollbind' option. When a window that has 'scrollbind' set is scrolled, all other 'scrollbind' windows are scrolled the same amount, if possible. The behavior of 'scrollbind' can be modified by the 'scrollopt' option. When using the scrollbars, the binding only happens when scrolling the window with focus (where the cursor is). You can use this to avoid scroll-binding for a moment without resetting options. When a window also has the 'diff' option set, the scroll-binding uses the differences between the two buffers to synchronize the position precisely. Otherwise the following method is used. scrollbind-relative Each 'scrollbind' window keeps track of its "relative offset," which can be thought of as the difference between the current window's vertical scroll position and the other window's vertical scroll position. When one of the 'scrollbind' windows is asked to vertically scroll past the beginning or end limit of its text, the window no longer scrolls, but remembers how far past the limit it wishes to be. The window keeps this information so that it can maintain the same relative offset, regardless of its being asked to scroll past its buffer's limits. However, if a 'scrollbind' window that has a relative offset that is past its buffer's limits is given the cursor focus, the other 'scrollbind' windows must jump to a location where the current window's relative offset is valid. This behavior can be changed by clearing the "jump" flag from the 'scrollopt' option. syncbind :syncbind :sync :syncbind Force all 'scrollbind' windows to have the same relative offset. I.e., when any of the 'scrollbind' windows is scrolled to the top of its buffer, all of the 'scrollbind' windows will also be at the top of their buffers. scrollbind-quickadj The 'scrollbind' flag is meaningful when using keyboard commands to vertically scroll a window, and also meaningful when using the vertical scrollbar of the window which has the cursor focus. However, when using the vertical scrollbar of a window which doesn't have the cursor focus, 'scrollbind' is ignored. This allows quick adjustment of the relative offset of 'scrollbind' windows. ============================================================================== 6. Scrolling with a mouse wheel scroll-mouse-wheel When your mouse has a scroll wheel, it should work with Vim in the GUI. How it works depends on your system. It might also work in an xterm \|xterm-mouse-wheel\|. By default only vertical scroll wheels are supported, but some GUIs also support horizontal scroll wheels. For the Win32 GUI the scroll action is hard coded. It works just like dragging the scrollbar of the current window. How many lines are scrolled depends on your mouse driver. If the scroll action causes input focus problems, see \|intellimouse-wheel-problems\|. For the X11 GUIs (Motif, Athena and GTK) scrolling the wheel generates key presses <ScrollWheelUp>, <ScrollWheelDown>, <ScrollWheelLeft> and <ScrollWheelRight>. For example, if you push the scroll wheel upwards a <ScrollWheelUp> key press is generated causing the window to scroll upwards (while the text is actually moving downwards). The default action for these keys are: <ScrollWheelUp> scroll three lines up <ScrollWheelUp> <S-ScrollWheelUp> scroll one page up <S-ScrollWheelUp> <C-ScrollWheelUp> scroll one page up <C-ScrollWheelUp> <ScrollWheelDown> scroll three lines down <ScrollWheelDown> <S-ScrollWheelDown> scroll one page down <S-ScrollWheelDown> <C-ScrollWheelDown> scroll one page down <C-ScrollWheelDown> <ScrollWheelLeft> scroll six columns left <ScrollWheelLeft> <S-ScrollWheelLeft> scroll one page left <S-ScrollWheelLeft> <C-ScrollWheelLeft> scroll one page left <C-ScrollWheelLeft> <ScrollWheelRight> scroll six columns right <ScrollWheelRight> <S-ScrollWheelRight> scroll one page right <S-ScrollWheelRight> <C-ScrollWheelRight> scroll one page right <C-ScrollWheelRight> This should work in all modes, except when editing the command line. Note that horizontal scrolling only works if 'nowrap' is set. Also, unless the "h" flag in 'guioptions' is set, the cursor moves to the longest visible line if the cursor line is about to be scrolled off the screen (similarly to how the horizontal scrollbar works). You can modify the default behavior by mapping the keys. For example, to make the scroll wheel move one line or half a page in Normal mode: > :map <ScrollWheelUp> <C-Y> :map <S-ScrollWheelUp> <C-U> :map <ScrollWheelDown> <C-E> :map <S-ScrollWheelDown> <C-D> You can also use Alt and Ctrl modifiers. This only works when Vim gets the scroll wheel events, of course. You can check if this works with the "xev" program. When using XFree86, the /etc/XF86Config file should have the correct entry for your mouse. For FreeBSD, this entry works for a Logitech scrollmouse: > Protocol "MouseMan" Device "/dev/psm0" ZAxisMapping 4 5 See the XFree86 documentation for information. <MouseDown> <MouseUp> The keys <MouseDown> and <MouseUp> have been deprecated. Use <ScrollWheelUp> instead of <MouseDown> and use <ScrollWheelDown> instead of <MouseUp>. xterm-mouse-wheel To use the mouse wheel in a new xterm you only have to make the scroll wheel work in your Xserver, as mentioned above. To use the mouse wheel in an older xterm you must do this: 1. Make it work in your Xserver, as mentioned above. 2. Add translations for the xterm, so that the xterm will pass a scroll event to Vim as an escape sequence. 3. Add mappings in Vim, to interpret the escape sequences as <ScrollWheelDown> or <ScrollWheelUp> keys. You can do the translations by adding this to your ~.Xdefaults file (or other file where your X resources are kept): > XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \n\ s<Btn4Down>: string("0x9b") string("[64~") \n\ s<Btn5Down>: string("0x9b") string("[65~") \n\ <Btn4Down>: string("0x9b") string("[62~") \n\ <Btn5Down>: string("0x9b") string("[63~") \n\ <Btn4Up>: \n\ <Btn5Up>: Add these mappings to your vimrc file: > :map <M-Esc>[62~ <ScrollWheelUp> :map! <M-Esc>[62~ <ScrollWheelUp> :map <M-Esc>[63~ <ScrollWheelDown> :map! <M-Esc>[63~ <ScrollWheelDown> :map <M-Esc>[64~ <S-ScrollWheelUp> :map! <M-Esc>[64~ <S-ScrollWheelUp> :map <M-Esc>[65~ <S-ScrollWheelDown> :map! <M-Esc>[65~ <S-ScrollWheelDown> < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	13.46 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 sign.txt sign.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Mar 07 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Gordon Prieur and Bram Moolenaar Sign Support Features sign-support 1. Introduction \|sign-intro\| 2. Commands \|sign-commands\| 3. Functions \|sign-functions-details\| {only available when compiled with the \|+signs\| feature} ============================================================================== 1. Introduction sign-intro signs When a debugger or other IDE tool is driving an editor it needs to be able to give specific highlights which quickly tell the user useful information about the file. One example of this would be a debugger which had an icon in the left-hand column denoting a breakpoint. Another example might be an arrow representing the Program Counter (PC). The sign features allow both placement of a sign, or icon, in the left-hand side of the window and definition of a highlight which will be applied to that line. Displaying the sign as an image is most likely only feasible in gvim (although Sun Microsystem's dtterm does support this it's the only terminal emulator I know of which does). A text sign and the highlight should be feasible in any color terminal emulator. Signs and highlights are not useful just for debuggers. Sun's Visual WorkShop uses signs and highlights to mark build errors and SourceBrowser hits. Additionally, the debugger supports 8 to 10 different signs and highlight colors, see \|NetBeans\|. There are two steps in using signs: 1. Define the sign. This specifies the image, text and highlighting. For example, you can define a "break" sign with an image of a stop roadsign and text "!!". 2. Place the sign. This specifies the file and line number where the sign is displayed. A defined sign can be placed several times in different lines and files. sign-column When signs are defined for a file, Vim will automatically add a column of two characters to display them in. When the last sign is unplaced the column disappears again. This behavior can be changed with the 'signcolumn' option. The color of the column is set with the SignColumn highlight group \|hl-SignColumn\|. Example to set the color: > :highlight SignColumn guibg=darkgrey < sign-identifier Each placed sign is identified by a number called the sign identifier. This identifier is used to jump to the sign or to remove the sign. The identifier is assigned when placing the sign using the \|:sign-place\| command or the \|sign_place()\| function. Each sign identifier should be a unique number. If multiple placed signs use the same identifier, then jumping to or removing a sign becomes unpredictable. To avoid overlapping identifiers, sign groups can be used. The \|sign_place()\| function can be called with a zero sign identifier to allocate the next available identifier. sign-group Each placed sign can be assigned to either the global group or a named group. When placing a sign, if a group name is not supplied, or an empty string is used, then the sign is placed in the global group. Otherwise the sign is placed in the named group. The sign identifier is unique within a group. The sign group allows Vim plugins to use unique signs without interfering with other plugins using signs. To place a sign in a popup window the group name must start with "PopUp". Other signs will not show in a popup window. The group name "PopUpMenu" is used by popup windows where 'cursorline' is set. sign-priority Each placed sign is assigned a priority value. When multiple signs are placed on the same line, the attributes of the sign with the highest priority is used independently of the sign group. The default priority for a sign is 10. The priority is assigned at the time of placing a sign. When two signs with the same priority are present, and one has an icon or text in the signcolumn while the other has line highlighting, then both are displayed. When the line on which the sign is placed is deleted, the sign is moved to the next line (or the last line of the buffer, if there is no next line). When the delete is undone the sign does not move back. When a sign with line highlighting and 'cursorline' highlighting are both present, if the priority is 100 or more then the sign highlighting takes precedence, otherwise the 'cursorline' highlighting. ============================================================================== 2. Commands sign-commands :sig :sign Here is an example that places a sign "piet", displayed with the text ">>", in line 23 of the current file: > :sign define piet text=>> texthl=Search :exe ":sign place 2 line=23 name=piet file=" . expand("%:p") And here is the command to delete it again: > :sign unplace 2 Note that the ":sign" command cannot be followed by another command or a comment. If you do need that, use the \|:execute\| command. DEFINING A SIGN. :sign-define E255 E160 E612 See \|sign_define()\| for the equivalent Vim script function. :sign define {name} {argument}... Define a new sign or set attributes for an existing sign. The {name} can either be a number (all digits) or a name starting with a non-digit. Leading zeros are ignored, thus "0012", "012" and "12" are considered the same name. About 120 different signs can be defined. Accepted arguments: icon={bitmap} Define the file name where the bitmap can be found. Should be a full path. The bitmap should fit in the place of two characters. This is not checked. If the bitmap is too big it will cause redraw problems. Only GTK 2 can scale the bitmap to fit the space available. toolkit supports ~ GTK 1 pixmap (.xpm) GTK 2 many Motif pixmap (.xpm) Win32 .bmp, .ico, .cur pixmap (.xpm) \|+xpm_w32\| linehl={group} Highlighting group used for the whole line the sign is placed in. Most useful is defining a background color. text={text} E239 Define the text that is displayed when there is no icon or the GUI is not being used. Only printable characters are allowed and they must occupy one or two display cells. texthl={group} Highlighting group used for the text item. Example: > :sign define MySign text=>> texthl=Search linehl=DiffText < DELETING A SIGN :sign-undefine E155 See \|sign_undefine()\| for the equivalent Vim script function. :sign undefine {name} Deletes a previously defined sign. If signs with this {name} are still placed this will cause trouble. Example: > :sign undefine MySign < LISTING SIGNS :sign-list E156 See \|sign_getdefined()\| for the equivalent Vim script function. :sign list Lists all defined signs and their attributes. :sign list {name} Lists one defined sign and its attributes. PLACING SIGNS :sign-place E158 See \|sign_place()\| for the equivalent Vim script function. :sign place {id} line={lnum} name={name} file={fname} Place sign defined as {name} at line {lnum} in file {fname}. :sign-fname The file {fname} must already be loaded in a buffer. The exact file name must be used, wildcards, $ENV and ~ are not expanded, white space must not be escaped. Trailing white space is ignored. The sign is remembered under {id}, this can be used for further manipulation. {id} must be a number. It's up to the user to make sure the {id} is used only once in each file (if it's used several times unplacing will also have to be done several times and making changes may not work as expected). The following optional sign attributes can be specified before "file=": group={group} Place sign in sign group {group} priority={prio} Assign priority {prio} to sign By default, the sign is placed in the global sign group. By default, the sign is assigned a default priority of 10. To assign a different priority value, use "priority={prio}" to specify a value. The priority is used to determine the sign that is displayed when multiple signs are placed on the same line. Examples: > :sign place 5 line=3 name=sign1 file=a.py :sign place 6 group=g2 line=2 name=sign2 file=x.py :sign place 9 group=g2 priority=50 line=5 \ name=sign1 file=a.py < :sign place {id} line={lnum} name={name} [buffer={nr}] Same, but use buffer {nr}. If the buffer argument is not given, place the sign in the current buffer. Example: > :sign place 10 line=99 name=sign3 :sign place 10 line=99 name=sign3 buffer=3 < E885 :sign place {id} name={name} file={fname} Change the placed sign {id} in file {fname} to use the defined sign {name}. See remark above about {fname} \|:sign-fname\|. This can be used to change the displayed sign without moving it (e.g., when the debugger has stopped at a breakpoint). The optional "group={group}" attribute can be used before "file=" to select a sign in a particular group. The optional "priority={prio}" attribute can be used to change the priority of an existing sign. Example: > :sign place 23 name=sign1 file=/path/to/edit.py < :sign place {id} name={name} [buffer={nr}] Same, but use buffer {nr}. If the buffer argument is not given, use the current buffer. Example: > :sign place 23 name=sign1 :sign place 23 name=sign1 buffer=7 < REMOVING SIGNS :sign-unplace E159 See \|sign_unplace()\| for the equivalent Vim script function. :sign unplace {id} file={fname} Remove the previously placed sign {id} from file {fname}. See remark above about {fname} \|:sign-fname\|. :sign unplace {id} group={group} file={fname} Same but remove the sign {id} in sign group {group}. :sign unplace {id} group=* file={fname} Same but remove the sign {id} from all the sign groups. :sign unplace * file={fname} Remove all placed signs in file {fname}. :sign unplace * group={group} file={fname} Remove all placed signs in group {group} from file {fname}. :sign unplace * group=* file={fname} Remove all placed signs in all the groups from file {fname}. :sign unplace {id} buffer={nr} Remove the previously placed sign {id} from buffer {nr}. :sign unplace {id} group={group} buffer={nr} Remove the previously placed sign {id} in group {group} from buffer {nr}. :sign unplace {id} group=* buffer={nr} Remove the previously placed sign {id} in all the groups from buffer {nr}. :sign unplace * buffer={nr} Remove all placed signs in buffer {nr}. :sign unplace * group={group} buffer={nr} Remove all placed signs in group {group} from buffer {nr}. :sign unplace * group=* buffer={nr} Remove all placed signs in all the groups from buffer {nr}. :sign unplace {id} Remove the previously placed sign {id} from all files it appears in. :sign unplace {id} group={group} Remove the previously placed sign {id} in group {group} from all files it appears in. :sign unplace {id} group=* Remove the previously placed sign {id} in all the groups from all the files it appears in. :sign unplace * Remove all placed signs in the global group from all the files. :sign unplace * group={group} Remove all placed signs in group {group} from all the files. :sign unplace * group=* Remove all placed signs in all the groups from all the files. :sign unplace Remove a placed sign at the cursor position. If multiple signs are placed in the line, then only one is removed. :sign unplace group={group} Remove a placed sign in group {group} at the cursor position. :sign unplace group=* Remove a placed sign in any group at the cursor position. LISTING PLACED SIGNS :sign-place-list See \|sign_getplaced()\| for the equivalent Vim script function. :sign place file={fname} List signs placed in file {fname}. See remark above about {fname} \|:sign-fname\|. :sign place group={group} file={fname} List signs in group {group} placed in file {fname}. :sign place group=* file={fname} List signs in all the groups placed in file {fname}. :sign place buffer={nr} List signs placed in buffer {nr}. :sign place group={group} buffer={nr} List signs in group {group} placed in buffer {nr}. :sign place group=* buffer={nr} List signs in all the groups placed in buffer {nr}. :sign place List placed signs in the global group in all files. :sign place group={group} List placed signs with sign group {group} in all files. :sign place group=* List placed signs in all sign groups in all files. JUMPING TO A SIGN :sign-jump E157 See \|sign_jump()\| for the equivalent Vim script function. :sign jump {id} file={fname} Open the file {fname} or jump to the window that contains {fname} and position the cursor at sign {id}. See remark above about {fname} \|:sign-fname\|. If the file isn't displayed in window and the current file can not be \|abandon\|ed this fails. :sign jump {id} group={group} file={fname} Same but jump to the sign in group {group} :sign jump {id} [buffer={nr}] E934 Same, but use buffer {nr}. This fails if buffer {nr} does not have a name. If the buffer argument is not given, use the current buffer. :sign jump {id} group={group} [buffer={nr}] Same but jump to the sign in group {group} ============================================================================== 3. Functions sign-functions-details sign_define({name} [, {dict}]) sign_define() sign_define({list}) Define a new sign named {name} or modify the attributes of an existing sign. This is similar to the \|:sign-define\| command. Prefix {name} with a unique text to avoid name collisions. There is no {group} like with placing signs. The {name} can be a String or a Number. The optional {dict} argument specifies the sign attributes. The following values are supported: icon full path to the bitmap file for the sign. linehl highlight group used for the whole line the sign is placed in. text text that is displayed when there is no icon or the GUI is not being used. texthl highlight group used for the text item If the sign named {name} already exists, then the attributes of the sign are updated. The one argument {list} can be used to define a list of signs. Each list item is a dictionary with the above items in {dict} and a "name" item for the sign name. Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. When the one argument {list} is used, then returns a List of values one for each defined sign. Examples: > call sign_define("mySign", { \ "text" : "=>", \ "texthl" : "Error", \ "linehl" : "Search"}) call sign_define([ \ {'name' : 'sign1', \ 'text' : '=>'}, \ {'name' : 'sign2', \ 'text' : '!!'} \ ]) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSignList()->sign_define() sign_getdefined([{name}]) sign_getdefined() Get a list of defined signs and their attributes. This is similar to the \|:sign-list\| command. If the {name} is not supplied, then a list of all the defined signs is returned. Otherwise the attribute of the specified sign is returned. Each list item in the returned value is a dictionary with the following entries: icon full path to the bitmap file of the sign linehl highlight group used for the whole line the sign is placed in. name name of the sign text text that is displayed when there is no icon or the GUI is not being used. texthl highlight group used for the text item Returns an empty List if there are no signs and when {name} is not found. Examples: > " Get a list of all the defined signs echo sign_getdefined() " Get the attribute of the sign named mySign echo sign_getdefined("mySign") < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSignList()->sign_getdefined() sign_getplaced([{expr} [, {dict}]]) sign_getplaced() Return a list of signs placed in a buffer or all the buffers. This is similar to the \|:sign-place-list\| command. If the optional buffer name {expr} is specified, then only the list of signs placed in that buffer is returned. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\|. The optional {dict} can contain the following entries: group select only signs in this group id select sign with this identifier lnum select signs placed in this line. For the use of {lnum}, see \|line()\|. If {group} is '', then signs in all the groups including the global group are returned. If {group} is not supplied or is an empty string, then only signs in the global group are returned. If no arguments are supplied, then signs in the global group placed in all the buffers are returned. See \|sign-group\|. Each list item in the returned value is a dictionary with the following entries: bufnr number of the buffer with the sign signs list of signs placed in {bufnr}. Each list item is a dictionary with the below listed entries The dictionary for each sign contains the following entries: group sign group. Set to '' for the global group. id identifier of the sign lnum line number where the sign is placed name name of the defined sign priority sign priority The returned signs in a buffer are ordered by their line number and priority. Returns an empty list on failure or if there are no placed signs. Examples: > " Get a List of signs placed in eval.c in the " global group echo sign_getplaced("eval.c") " Get a List of signs in group 'g1' placed in eval.c echo sign_getplaced("eval.c", {'group' : 'g1'}) " Get a List of signs placed at line 10 in eval.c echo sign_getplaced("eval.c", {'lnum' : 10}) " Get sign with identifier 10 placed in a.py echo sign_getplaced("a.py", {'id' : 10}) " Get sign with id 20 in group 'g1' placed in a.py echo sign_getplaced("a.py", {'group' : 'g1', \ 'id' : 20}) " Get a List of all the placed signs echo sign_getplaced() < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufname()->sign_getplaced() < sign_jump()* sign_jump({id}, {group}, {expr}) Open the buffer {expr} or jump to the window that contains {expr} and position the cursor at sign {id} in group {group}. This is similar to the \|:sign-jump\| command. For the use of {expr}, see \|bufname()\|. Returns the line number of the sign. Returns -1 if the arguments are invalid. Example: > " Jump to sign 10 in the current buffer call sign_jump(10, '', '') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSignid()->sign_jump() < sign_place() sign_place({id}, {group}, {name}, {expr} [, {dict}]) Place the sign defined as {name} at line {lnum} in file or buffer {expr} and assign {id} and {group} to sign. This is similar to the \|:sign-place\| command. If the sign identifier {id} is zero, then a new identifier is allocated. Otherwise the specified number is used. {group} is the sign group name. To use the global sign group, use an empty string. {group} functions as a namespace for {id}, thus two groups can use the same IDs. Refer to \|sign-identifier\| and \|sign-group\| for more information. {name} refers to a defined sign. {expr} refers to a buffer name or number. For the accepted values, see \|bufname()\|. The optional {dict} argument supports the following entries: lnum line number in the file or buffer {expr} where the sign is to be placed. For the accepted values, see \|line()\|. priority priority of the sign. See \|sign-priority\| for more information. If the optional {dict} is not specified, then it modifies the placed sign {id} in group {group} to use the defined sign {name}. Returns the sign identifier on success and -1 on failure. Examples: > " Place a sign named sign1 with id 5 at line 20 in " buffer json.c call sign_place(5, '', 'sign1', 'json.c', \ {'lnum' : 20}) " Updates sign 5 in buffer json.c to use sign2 call sign_place(5, '', 'sign2', 'json.c') " Place a sign named sign3 at line 30 in " buffer json.c with a new identifier let id = sign_place(0, '', 'sign3', 'json.c', \ {'lnum' : 30}) " Place a sign named sign4 with id 10 in group 'g3' " at line 40 in buffer json.c with priority 90 call sign_place(10, 'g3', 'sign4', 'json.c', \ {'lnum' : 40, 'priority' : 90}) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSignid()->sign_place(group, name, expr) < sign_placelist() sign_placelist({list}) Place one or more signs. This is similar to the \|sign_place()\| function. The {list} argument specifies the List of signs to place. Each list item is a dict with the following sign attributes: buffer buffer name or number. For the accepted values, see \|bufname()\|. group sign group. {group} functions as a namespace for {id}, thus two groups can use the same IDs. If not specified or set to an empty string, then the global group is used. See \|sign-group\| for more information. id sign identifier. If not specified or zero, then a new unique identifier is allocated. Otherwise the specified number is used. See \|sign-identifier\| for more information. lnum line number in the buffer {expr} where the sign is to be placed. For the accepted values, see \|line()\|. name name of the sign to place. See \|sign_define()\| for more information. priority priority of the sign. When multiple signs are placed on a line, the sign with the highest priority is used. If not specified, the default value of 10 is used. See \|sign-priority\| for more information. If {id} refers to an existing sign, then the existing sign is modified to use the specified {name} and/or {priority}. Returns a List of sign identifiers. If failed to place a sign, the corresponding list item is set to -1. Examples: > " Place sign s1 with id 5 at line 20 and id 10 at line " 30 in buffer a.c let [n1, n2] = sign_placelist([ \ {'id' : 5, \ 'name' : 's1', \ 'buffer' : 'a.c', \ 'lnum' : 20}, \ {'id' : 10, \ 'name' : 's1', \ 'buffer' : 'a.c', \ 'lnum' : 30} \ ]) " Place sign s1 in buffer a.c at line 40 and 50 " with auto-generated identifiers let [n1, n2] = sign_placelist([ \ {'name' : 's1', \ 'buffer' : 'a.c', \ 'lnum' : 40}, \ {'name' : 's1', \ 'buffer' : 'a.c', \ 'lnum' : 50} \ ]) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSignlist()->sign_placelist() sign_undefine([{name}]) sign_undefine() sign_undefine({list}) Deletes a previously defined sign {name}. This is similar to the \|:sign-undefine\| command. If {name} is not supplied, then deletes all the defined signs. The one argument {list} can be used to undefine a list of signs. Each list item is the name of a sign. Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. For the one argument {list} call, returns a list of values one for each undefined sign. Examples: > " Delete a sign named mySign call sign_undefine("mySign") " Delete signs 'sign1' and 'sign2' call sign_undefine(["sign1", "sign2"]) " Delete all the signs call sign_undefine() < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSignlist()->sign_undefine() sign_unplace({group} [, {dict}]) sign_unplace() Remove a previously placed sign in one or more buffers. This is similar to the \|:sign-unplace\| command. {group} is the sign group name. To use the global sign group, use an empty string. If {group} is set to '', then all the groups including the global group are used. The signs in {group} are selected based on the entries in {dict}. The following optional entries in {dict} are supported: buffer buffer name or number. See \|bufname()\|. id sign identifier If {dict} is not supplied, then all the signs in {group} are removed. Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. Examples: > " Remove sign 10 from buffer a.vim call sign_unplace('', {'buffer' : "a.vim", 'id' : 10}) " Remove sign 20 in group 'g1' from buffer 3 call sign_unplace('g1', {'buffer' : 3, 'id' : 20}) " Remove all the signs in group 'g2' from buffer 10 call sign_unplace('g2', {'buffer' : 10}) " Remove sign 30 in group 'g3' from all the buffers call sign_unplace('g3', {'id' : 30}) " Remove all the signs placed in buffer 5 call sign_unplace('', {'buffer' : 5}) " Remove the signs in group 'g4' from all the buffers call sign_unplace('g4') " Remove sign 40 from all the buffers call sign_unplace('', {'id' : 40}) " Remove all the placed signs from all the buffers call sign_unplace('') < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSigngroup()->sign_unplace() < sign_unplacelist({list}) sign_unplacelist() Remove previously placed signs from one or more buffers. This is similar to the \|sign_unplace()\| function. The {list} argument specifies the List of signs to remove. Each list item is a dict with the following sign attributes: buffer buffer name or number. For the accepted values, see \|bufname()\|. If not specified, then the specified sign is removed from all the buffers. group sign group name. If not specified or set to an empty string, then the global sign group is used. If set to '*', then all the groups including the global group are used. id sign identifier. If not specified, then all the signs in the specified group are removed. Returns a List where an entry is set to 0 if the corresponding sign was successfully removed or -1 on failure. Example: > " Remove sign with id 10 from buffer a.vim and sign " with id 20 from buffer b.vim call sign_unplacelist([ \ {'id' : 10, 'buffer' : "a.vim"}, \ {'id' : 20, 'buffer' : 'b.vim'}, \ ]) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetSignlist()->sign_unplacelist() < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	25.25 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 spell.txt spell.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Aug 15 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Spell checking spell 1. Quick start \|spell-quickstart\| 2. Remarks on spell checking \|spell-remarks\| 3. Generating a spell file \|spell-mkspell\| 4. Spell file format \|spell-file-format\| {not available when the \|+syntax\| feature has been disabled at compile time} Note: There also is a vimspell plugin. If you have it you can do ":help vimspell" to find about it. But you will probably want to get rid of the plugin and use the 'spell' option instead, it works better. ============================================================================== 1. Quick start spell-quickstart E756 This command switches on spell checking: > :setlocal spell spelllang=en_us This switches on the 'spell' option and specifies to check for US English. The words that are not recognized are highlighted with one of these: SpellBad word not recognized \|hl-SpellBad\| SpellCap word not capitalised \|hl-SpellCap\| SpellRare rare word \|hl-SpellRare\| SpellLocal wrong spelling for selected region \|hl-SpellLocal\| Vim only checks words for spelling, there is no grammar check. If the 'mousemodel' option is set to "popup" and the cursor is on a badly spelled word or it is "popup_setpos" and the mouse pointer is on a badly spelled word, then the popup menu will contain a submenu to replace the bad word. Note: this slows down the appearance of the popup menu. Note for GTK: don't release the right mouse button until the menu appears, otherwise it won't work. To search for the next misspelled word: ]s ]s Move to next misspelled word after the cursor. A count before the command can be used to repeat. 'wrapscan' applies. [s [s Like "]s" but search backwards, find the misspelled word before the cursor. Doesn't recognize words split over two lines, thus may stop at words that are not highlighted as bad. Does not stop at word with missing capital at the start of a line. ]S ]S Like "]s" but only stop at bad words, not at rare words or words for another region. [S [S Like "]S" but search backwards. To add words to your own word list: zg zg Add word under the cursor as a good word to the first name in 'spellfile'. A count may precede the command to indicate the entry in 'spellfile' to be used. A count of two uses the second entry. In Visual mode the selected characters are added as a word (including white space!). When the cursor is on text that is marked as badly spelled then the marked text is used. Otherwise the word under the cursor, separated by non-word characters, is used. If the word is explicitly marked as bad word in another spell file the result is unpredictable. zG zG Like "zg" but add the word to the internal word list \|internal-wordlist\|. zw zw Like "zg" but mark the word as a wrong (bad) word. If the word already appears in 'spellfile' it is turned into a comment line. See \|spellfile-cleanup\| for getting rid of those. zW zW Like "zw" but add the word to the internal word list \|internal-wordlist\|. zuw zug zuw zug Undo \|zw\| and \|zg\|, remove the word from the entry in 'spellfile'. Count used as with \|zg\|. zuW zuG zuW zuG Undo \|zW\| and \|zG\|, remove the word from the internal word list. Count used as with \|zg\|. :spe :spellgood :[count]spe[llgood] {word} Add {word} as a good word to 'spellfile', like with \|zg\|. Without count the first name is used, with a count of two the second entry, etc. :spe[llgood]! {word} Add {word} as a good word to the internal word list, like with \|zG\|. :spellw :spellwrong :[count]spellw[rong] {word} Add {word} as a wrong (bad) word to 'spellfile', as with \|zw\|. Without count the first name is used, with a count of two the second entry, etc. :spellw[rong]! {word} Add {word} as a wrong (bad) word to the internal word list, like with \|zW\|. :spellra :spellrare :[count]spellr[are] {word} Add {word} as a rare word to 'spellfile', similar to \|zw\|. Without count the first name is used, with a count of two the second entry, etc. There are no normal mode commands to mark words as rare as this is a fairly uncommon command and all intuitive commands for this are already taken. If you want you can add mappings with e.g.: > nnoremap z? :exe ':spellrare ' . expand('<cWORD>')<CR> nnoremap z/ :exe ':spellrare! ' . expand('<cWORD>')<CR> < \|:spellundo\|, \|zuw\|, or \|zuW\| can be used to undo this. :spellr[rare]! {word} Add {word} as a rare word to the internal word list, similar to \|zW\|. :[count]spellu[ndo] {word} :spellu :spellundo Like \|zuw\|. [count] used as with \|:spellgood\|. :spellu[ndo]! {word} Like \|zuW\|. [count] used as with \|:spellgood\|. After adding a word to 'spellfile' with the above commands its associated ".spl" file will automatically be updated and reloaded. If you change 'spellfile' manually you need to use the \|:mkspell\| command. This sequence of commands mostly works well: > :edit <file in 'spellfile'> < (make changes to the spell file) > :mkspell! % More details about the 'spellfile' format below \|spell-wordlist-format\|. internal-wordlist The internal word list is used for all buffers where 'spell' is set. It is not stored, it is lost when you exit Vim. It is also cleared when 'encoding' is set. Finding suggestions for bad words: z= z= For the word under/after the cursor suggest correctly spelled words. This also works to find alternatives for a word that is not highlighted as a bad word, e.g., when the word after it is bad. In Visual mode the highlighted text is taken as the word to be replaced. The results are sorted on similarity to the word being replaced. This may take a long time. Hit CTRL-C when you get bored. If the command is used without a count the alternatives are listed and you can enter the number of your choice or press <Enter> if you don't want to replace. You can also use the mouse to click on your choice (only works if the mouse can be used in Normal mode and when there are no line wraps). Click on the first line (the header) to cancel. The suggestions listed normally replace a highlighted bad word. Sometimes they include other text, in that case the replaced text is also listed after a "<". If a count is used that suggestion is used, without prompting. For example, "1z=" always takes the first suggestion. If 'verbose' is non-zero a score will be displayed with the suggestions to indicate the likeliness to the badly spelled word (the higher the score the more different). When a word was replaced the redo command "." will repeat the word replacement. This works like "ciw", the good word and <Esc>. This does NOT work for Thai and other languages without spaces between words. :spellr :spellrepall E752 E753 :spellr[epall] Repeat the replacement done by \|z=\| for all matches with the replaced word in the current window. In Insert mode, when the cursor is after a badly spelled word, you can use CTRL-X s to find suggestions. This works like Insert mode completion. Use CTRL-N to use the next suggestion, CTRL-P to go back. \|i_CTRL-X_s\| The 'spellsuggest' option influences how the list of suggestions is generated and sorted. See \|'spellsuggest'\|. The 'spellcapcheck' option is used to check the first word of a sentence starts with a capital. This doesn't work for the first word in the file. When there is a line break right after a sentence the highlighting of the next line may be postponed. Use \|CTRL-L\| when needed. Also see \|set-spc-auto\| for how it can be set automatically when 'spelllang' is set. The 'spelloptions' option has a few more flags that influence the way spell checking works. Vim counts the number of times a good word is encountered. This is used to sort the suggestions: words that have been seen before get a small bonus, words that have been seen often get a bigger bonus. The COMMON item in the affix file can be used to define common words, so that this mechanism also works in a new or short file \|spell-COMMON\|. ============================================================================== 2. Remarks on spell checking spell-remarks PERFORMANCE Vim does on-the-fly spell checking. To make this work fast the word list is loaded in memory. Thus this uses a lot of memory (1 Mbyte or more). There might also be a noticeable delay when the word list is loaded, which happens when 'spell' is set and when 'spelllang' is set while 'spell' was already set. To minimize the delay each word list is only loaded once, it is not deleted when 'spelllang' is made empty or 'spell' is reset. When 'encoding' is set all the word lists are reloaded, thus you may notice a delay then too. REGIONS A word may be spelled differently in various regions. For example, English comes in (at least) these variants: en all regions en_au Australia en_ca Canada en_gb Great Britain en_nz New Zealand en_us USA Words that are not used in one region but are used in another region are highlighted with SpellLocal \|hl-SpellLocal\|. Always use lowercase letters for the language and region names. When adding a word with \|zg\| or another command it's always added for all regions. You can change that by manually editing the 'spellfile'. See \|spell-wordlist-format\|. Note that the regions as specified in the files in 'spellfile' are only used when all entries in 'spelllang' specify the same region (not counting files specified by their .spl name). spell-german Specific exception: For German these special regions are used: de all German words accepted de_de old and new spelling de_19 old spelling de_20 new spelling de_at Austria de_ch Switzerland spell-russian Specific exception: For Russian these special regions are used: ru all Russian words accepted ru_ru "IE" letter spelling ru_yo "YO" letter spelling spell-yiddish Yiddish requires using "utf-8" encoding, because of the special characters used. If you are using latin1 Vim will use transliterated (romanized) Yiddish instead. If you want to use transliterated Yiddish with utf-8 use "yi-tr". In a table: 'encoding' 'spelllang' utf-8 yi Yiddish latin1 yi transliterated Yiddish utf-8 yi-tr transliterated Yiddish spell-cjk Chinese, Japanese and other East Asian characters are normally marked as errors, because spell checking of these characters is not supported. If 'spelllang' includes "cjk", these characters are not marked as errors. This is useful when editing text with spell checking while some Asian words are present. SPELL FILES spell-load Vim searches for spell files in the "spell" subdirectory of the directories in 'runtimepath'. The name is: LL.EEE.spl, where: LL the language name EEE the value of 'encoding' The value for "LL" comes from 'spelllang', but excludes the region name. Examples: 'spelllang' LL ~ en_us en en-rare en-rare medical_ca medical Only the first file is loaded, the one that is first in 'runtimepath'. If this succeeds then additionally files with the name LL.EEE.add.spl are loaded. All the ones that are found are used. If no spell file is found the \|SpellFileMissing\| autocommand event is triggered. This may trigger the \|spellfile.vim\| plugin to offer you downloading the spell file. Additionally, the files related to the names in 'spellfile' are loaded. These are the files that \|zg\| and \|zw\| add good and wrong words to. Exceptions: - Vim uses "latin1" when 'encoding' is "iso-8859-15". The euro sign doesn't matter for spelling. - When no spell file for 'encoding' is found "ascii" is tried. This only works for languages where nearly all words are ASCII, such as English. It helps when 'encoding' is not "latin1", such as iso-8859-2, and English text is being edited. For the ".add" files the same name as the found main spell file is used. For example, with these values: 'runtimepath' is "~/.vim,/usr/share/vim82,~/.vim/after" 'encoding' is "iso-8859-2" 'spelllang' is "pl" Vim will look for: 1. ~/.vim/spell/pl.iso-8859-2.spl 2. /usr/share/vim82/spell/pl.iso-8859-2.spl 3. ~/.vim/spell/pl.iso-8859-2.add.spl 4. /usr/share/vim82/spell/pl.iso-8859-2.add.spl 5. ~/.vim/after/spell/pl.iso-8859-2.add.spl This assumes 1. is not found and 2. is found. If 'encoding' is "latin1" Vim will look for: 1. ~/.vim/spell/pl.latin1.spl 2. /usr/share/vim82/spell/pl.latin1.spl 3. ~/.vim/after/spell/pl.latin1.spl 4. ~/.vim/spell/pl.ascii.spl 5. /usr/share/vim82/spell/pl.ascii.spl 6. ~/.vim/after/spell/pl.ascii.spl This assumes none of them are found (Polish doesn't make sense when leaving out the non-ASCII characters). Spelling for EBCDIC is currently not supported. A spell file might not be available in the current 'encoding'. See \|spell-mkspell\| about how to create a spell file. Converting a spell file with "iconv" will NOT work! Note: on VMS ".{enc}.spl" is changed to "_{enc}.spl" to avoid trouble with filenames. spell-sug-file E781 If there is a file with exactly the same name as the ".spl" file but ending in ".sug", that file will be used for giving better suggestions. It isn't loaded before suggestions are made to reduce memory use. E758 E759 E778 E779 E780 E782 When loading a spell file Vim checks that it is properly formatted. If you get an error the file may be truncated, modified or intended for another Vim version. SPELLFILE CLEANUP spellfile-cleanup The \|zw\| command turns existing entries in 'spellfile' into comment lines. This avoids having to write a new file every time, but results in the file only getting longer, never shorter. To clean up the comment lines in all ".add" spell files do this: > :runtime spell/cleanadd.vim This deletes all comment lines, except the ones that start with "##". Use "##" lines to add comments that you want to keep. You can invoke this script as often as you like. A variable is provided to skip updating files that have been changed recently. Set it to the number of seconds that has passed since a file was changed before it will be cleaned. For example, to clean only files that were not changed in the last hour: > let g:spell_clean_limit = 60 * 60 The default is one second. WORDS Vim uses a fixed method to recognize a word. This is independent of 'iskeyword', so that it also works in help files and for languages that include characters like '-' in 'iskeyword'. The word characters do depend on 'encoding'. The table with word characters is stored in the main .spl file. Therefore it matters what the current locale is when generating it! A .add.spl file does not contain a word table though. For a word that starts with a digit the digit is ignored, unless the word as a whole is recognized. Thus if "3D" is a word and "D" is not then "3D" is recognized as a word, but if "3D" is not a word then only the "D" is marked as bad. Hex numbers in the form 0x12ab and 0X12AB are recognized. WORD COMBINATIONS It is possible to spell-check words that include a space. This is used to recognize words that are invalid when used by themselves, e.g. for "et al.". It can also be used to recognize "the the" and highlight it. The number of spaces is irrelevant. In most cases a line break may also appear. However, this makes it difficult to find out where to start checking for spelling mistakes. When you make a change to one line and only that line is redrawn Vim won't look in the previous line, thus when "et" is at the end of the previous line "al." will be flagged as an error. And when you type "the<CR>the" the highlighting doesn't appear until the first line is redrawn. Use \|CTRL-L\| to redraw right away. "[s" will also stop at a word combination with a line break. When encountering a line break Vim skips characters such as '', '>' and '"', so that comments in C, shell and Vim code can be spell checked. SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING spell-syntax* Files that use syntax highlighting can specify where spell checking should be done: 1. everywhere default 2. in specific items use "contains=@Spell" 3. everywhere but specific items use "contains=@NoSpell" For the second method adding the @NoSpell cluster will disable spell checking again. This can be used, for example, to add @Spell to the comments of a program, and add @NoSpell for items that shouldn't be checked. Also see \|:syn-spell\| for text that is not in a syntax item. VIM SCRIPTS If you want to write a Vim script that does something with spelling, you may find these functions useful: spellbadword() find badly spelled word at the cursor spellsuggest() get list of spelling suggestions soundfold() get the sound-a-like version of a word SETTING 'spellcapcheck' AUTOMATICALLY set-spc-auto After the 'spelllang' option has been set successfully, Vim will source the files "spell/LANG.vim" in 'runtimepath'. "LANG" is the value of 'spelllang' up to the first comma, dot or underscore. This can be used to set options specifically for the language, especially 'spellcapcheck'. The distribution includes a few of these files. Use this command to see what they do: > :next $VIMRUNTIME/spell/.vim Note that the default scripts don't set 'spellcapcheck' if it was changed from the default value. This assumes the user prefers another value then. DOUBLE SCORING spell-double-scoring* The 'spellsuggest' option can be used to select "double" scoring. This mechanism is based on the principle that there are two kinds of spelling mistakes: 1. You know how to spell the word, but mistype something. This results in a small editing distance (character swapped/omitted/inserted) and possibly a word that sounds completely different. 2. You don't know how to spell the word and type something that sounds right. The edit distance can be big but the word is similar after sound-folding. Since scores for these two mistakes will be very different we use a list for each and mix them. The sound-folding is slow and people that know the language won't make the second kind of mistakes. Therefore 'spellsuggest' can be set to select the preferred method for scoring the suggestions. ============================================================================== 3. Generating a spell file spell-mkspell Vim uses a binary file format for spelling. This greatly speeds up loading the word list and keeps it small. .aff .dic Myspell You can create a Vim spell file from the .aff and .dic files that Myspell uses. Myspell is used by OpenOffice.org and Mozilla. The OpenOffice .oxt files are zip files which contain the .aff and .dic files. You should be able to find them here: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/dictionary The older, OpenOffice 2 files may be used if this doesn't work: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries You can also use a plain word list. The results are the same, the choice depends on what word lists you can find. If you install Aap (from www.a-a-p.org) you can use the recipes in the runtime/spell/??/ directories. Aap will take care of downloading the files, apply patches needed for Vim and build the .spl file. Make sure your current locale is set properly, otherwise Vim doesn't know what characters are upper/lower case letters. If the locale isn't available (e.g., when using an MS-Windows codepage on Unix) add tables to the .aff file \|spell-affix-chars\|. If the .aff file doesn't define a table then the word table of the currently active spelling is used. If spelling is not active then Vim will try to guess. :mksp :mkspell :mksp[ell][!] [-ascii] {outname} {inname} ... Generate a Vim spell file from word lists. Example: > :mkspell /tmp/nl nl_NL.words < E751 When {outname} ends in ".spl" it is used as the output file name. Otherwise it should be a language name, such as "en", without the region name. The file written will be "{outname}.{encoding}.spl", where {encoding} is the value of the 'encoding' option. When the output file already exists [!] must be used to overwrite it. When the [-ascii] argument is present, words with non-ascii characters are skipped. The resulting file ends in "ascii.spl". The input can be the Myspell format files {inname}.aff and {inname}.dic. If {inname}.aff does not exist then {inname} is used as the file name of a plain word list. Multiple {inname} arguments can be given to combine regions into one Vim spell file. Example: > :mkspell ~/.vim/spell/en /tmp/en_US /tmp/en_CA /tmp/en_AU < This combines the English word lists for US, CA and AU into one en.spl file. Up to eight regions can be combined. E754 E755 The REP and SAL items of the first .aff file where they appear are used. \|spell-REP\| \|spell-SAL\| E845 This command uses a lot of memory, required to find the optimal word tree (Polish, Italian and Hungarian require several hundred Mbyte). The final result will be much smaller, because compression is used. To avoid running out of memory compression will be done now and then. This can be tuned with the 'mkspellmem' option. After the spell file was written and it was being used in a buffer it will be reloaded automatically. :mksp[ell] [-ascii] {name}.{enc}.add Like ":mkspell" above, using {name}.{enc}.add as the input file and producing an output file in the same directory that has ".spl" appended. :mksp[ell] [-ascii] {name} Like ":mkspell" above, using {name} as the input file and producing an output file in the same directory that has ".{enc}.spl" appended. Vim will report the number of duplicate words. This might be a mistake in the list of words. But sometimes it is used to have different prefixes and suffixes for the same basic word to avoid them combining (e.g. Czech uses this). If you want Vim to report all duplicate words set the 'verbose' option. Since you might want to change a Myspell word list for use with Vim the following procedure is recommended: 1. Obtain the xx_YY.aff and xx_YY.dic files from Myspell. 2. Make a copy of these files to xx_YY.orig.aff and xx_YY.orig.dic. 3. Change the xx_YY.aff and xx_YY.dic files to remove bad words, add missing words, define word characters with FOL/LOW/UPP, etc. The distributed ".diff" files can be used. 4. Start Vim with the right locale and use \|:mkspell\| to generate the Vim spell file. 5. Try out the spell file with ":set spell spelllang=xx" if you wrote it in a spell directory in 'runtimepath', or ":set spelllang=xx.enc.spl" if you wrote it somewhere else. When the Myspell files are updated you can merge the differences: 1. Obtain the new Myspell files as xx_YY.new.aff and xx_UU.new.dic. 2. Use Vimdiff to see what changed: > vimdiff xx_YY.orig.dic xx_YY.new.dic 3. Take over the changes you like in xx_YY.dic. You may also need to change xx_YY.aff. 4. Rename xx_YY.new.dic to xx_YY.orig.dic and xx_YY.new.aff to xx_YY.orig.aff. SPELL FILE VERSIONS E770* E771 E772 Spell checking is a relatively new feature in Vim, thus it's possible that the .spl file format will be changed to support more languages. Vim will check the validity of the spell file and report anything wrong. E771: Old spell file, needs to be updated ~ This spell file is older than your Vim. You need to update the .spl file. E772: Spell file is for newer version of Vim ~ This means the spell file was made for a later version of Vim. You need to update Vim. E770: Unsupported section in spell file ~ This means the spell file was made for a later version of Vim and contains a section that is required for the spell file to work. In this case it's probably a good idea to upgrade your Vim. SPELL FILE DUMP If for some reason you want to check what words are supported by the currently used spelling files, use this command: :spelldump :spelld :spelld[ump] Open a new window and fill it with all currently valid words. Compound words are not included. Note: For some languages the result may be enormous, causing Vim to run out of memory. :spelld[ump]! Like ":spelldump" and include the word count. This is the number of times the word was found while updating the screen. Words that are in COMMON items get a starting count of 10. The format of the word list is used \|spell-wordlist-format\|. You should be able to read it with ":mkspell" to generate one .spl file that includes all the words. When all entries to 'spelllang' use the same regions or no regions at all then the region information is included in the dumped words. Otherwise only words for the current region are included and no "/regions" line is generated. Comment lines with the name of the .spl file are used as a header above the words that were generated from that .spl file. SPELL FILE MISSING spell-SpellFileMissing spellfile.vim If the spell file for the language you are using is not available, you will get an error message. But if the "spellfile.vim" plugin is active it will offer you to download the spell file. Just follow the instructions, it will ask you where to write the file (there must be a writable directory in 'runtimepath' for this). The plugin has a default place where to look for spell files, on the Vim ftp server. The protocol used is SSL (https://) for security. If you want to use another location or another protocol, set the g:spellfile_URL variable to the directory that holds the spell files. You can use http:// or ftp://, but you are taking a security risk then. The \|netrw\| plugin is used for getting the file, look there for the specific syntax of the URL. Example: > let g:spellfile_URL = 'https://ftp.nluug.nl/vim/runtime/spell' You may need to escape special characters. The plugin will only ask about downloading a language once. If you want to try again anyway restart Vim, or set g:spellfile_URL to another value (e.g., prepend a space). To avoid using the "spellfile.vim" plugin do this in your vimrc file: > let loaded_spellfile_plugin = 1 Instead of using the plugin you can define a \|SpellFileMissing\| autocommand to handle the missing file yourself. You can use it like this: > :au SpellFileMissing * call Download_spell_file(expand('<amatch>')) Thus the <amatch> item contains the name of the language. Another important value is 'encoding', since every encoding has its own spell file. With two exceptions: - For ISO-8859-15 (latin9) the name "latin1" is used (the encodings only differ in characters not used in dictionary words). - The name "ascii" may also be used for some languages where the words use only ASCII letters for most of the words. The default "spellfile.vim" plugin uses this autocommand, if you define your autocommand afterwards you may want to use ":au! SpellFileMissing" to overrule it. If you define your autocommand before the plugin is loaded it will notice this and not do anything. E797 Note that the SpellFileMissing autocommand must not change or destroy the buffer the user was editing. ============================================================================== 4. Spell file format spell-file-format This is the format of the files that are used by the person who creates and maintains a word list. Note that we avoid the word "dictionary" here. That is because the goal of spell checking differs from writing a dictionary (as in the book). For spelling we need a list of words that are OK, thus should not be highlighted. Person and company names will not appear in a dictionary, but do appear in a word list. And some old words are rarely used while they are common misspellings. These do appear in a dictionary but not in a word list. There are two formats: A straight list of words and a list using affix compression. The files with affix compression are used by Myspell (Mozilla and OpenOffice.org). This requires two files, one with .aff and one with .dic extension. FORMAT OF STRAIGHT WORD LIST spell-wordlist-format The words must appear one per line. That is all that is required. Additionally the following items are recognized: - Empty and blank lines are ignored. # comment ~ - Lines starting with a # are ignored (comment lines). /encoding=utf-8 ~ - A line starting with "/encoding=", before any word, specifies the encoding of the file. After the second '=' comes an encoding name. This tells Vim to setup conversion from the specified encoding to 'encoding'. Thus you can use one word list for several target encodings. /regions=usca ~ - A line starting with "/regions=" specifies the region names that are supported. Each region name must be two ASCII letters. The first one is region 1. Thus "/regions=usca" has region 1 "us" and region 2 "ca". In an addition word list the region names should be equal to the main word list! - Other lines starting with '/' are reserved for future use. The ones that are not recognized are ignored. You do get a warning message, so that you know something won't work. - A "/" may follow the word with the following items: = Case must match exactly. ? Rare word. ! Bad (wrong) word. 1 to 9 A region in which the word is valid. If no regions are specified the word is valid in all regions. Example: # This is an example word list comment /encoding=latin1 encoding of the file /regions=uscagb regions "us", "ca" and "gb" example word for all regions blah/12 word for regions "us" and "ca" vim/! bad word Campbell/?3 rare word in region 3 "gb" 's mornings/= keep-case word Note that when "/=" is used the same word with all upper-case letters is not accepted. This is different from a word with mixed case that is automatically marked as keep-case, those words may appear in all upper-case letters. FORMAT WITH .AFF AND .DIC FILES aff-dic-format There are two files: the basic word list and an affix file. The affix file specifies settings for the language and can contain affixes. The affixes are used to modify the basic words to get the full word list. This significantly reduces the number of words, especially for a language like Polish. This is called affix compression. The basic word list and the affix file are combined with the ":mkspell" command and results in a binary spell file. All the preprocessing has been done, thus this file loads fast. The binary spell file format is described in the source code (src/spell.c). But only developers need to know about it. The preprocessing also allows us to take the Myspell language files and modify them before the Vim word list is made. The tools for this can be found in the "src/spell" directory. The format for the affix and word list files is based on what Myspell uses (the spell checker of Mozilla and OpenOffice.org). A description can be found here: http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/affix.readme ~ Note that affixes are case sensitive, this isn't obvious from the description. Vim supports quite a few extras. They are described below \|spell-affix-vim\|. Attempts have been made to keep this compatible with other spell checkers, so that the same files can often be used. One other project that offers more than Myspell is Hunspell ( http://hunspell.sf.net ). WORD LIST FORMAT spell-dic-format A short example, with line numbers: 1 1234 ~ 2 aan ~ 3 Als ~ 4 Etten-Leur ~ 5 et al. ~ 6 's-Gravenhage ~ 7 's-Gravenhaags ~ 8 # word that differs between regions ~ 9 kado/1 ~ 10 cadeau/2 ~ 11 TCP,IP ~ 12 /the S affix may add a 's' ~ 13 bedel/S ~ The first line contains the number of words. Vim ignores it, but you do get an error message if it's not there. E760 What follows is one word per line. White space at the end of the line is ignored, all other white space matters. The encoding is specified in the affix file \|spell-SET\|. Comment lines start with '#' or '/'. See the example lines 8 and 12. Note that putting a comment after a word is NOT allowed: someword # comment that causes an error! ~ After the word there is an optional slash and flags. Most of these flags are letters that indicate the affixes that can be used with this word. These are specified with SFX and PFX lines in the .aff file, see \|spell-SFX\| and \|spell-PFX\|. Vim allows using other flag types with the FLAG item in the affix file \|spell-FLAG\|. When the word only has lower-case letters it will also match with the word starting with an upper-case letter. When the word includes an upper-case letter, this means the upper-case letter is required at this position. The same word with a lower-case letter at this position will not match. When some of the other letters are upper-case it will not match either. The word with all upper-case characters will always be OK, word list matches does not match ~ als als Als ALS ALs AlS aLs aLS Als Als ALS als ALs AlS aLs aLS ALS ALS als Als ALs AlS aLs aLS AlS AlS ALS als Als ALs aLs aLS The KEEPCASE affix ID can be used to specifically match a word with identical case only, see below \|spell-KEEPCASE\|. Note: in line 5 to 7 non-word characters are used. You can include any character in a word. When checking the text a word still only matches when it appears with a non-word character before and after it. For Myspell a word starting with a non-word character probably won't work. In line 12 the word "TCP/IP" is defined. Since the slash has a special meaning the comma is used instead. This is defined with the SLASH item in the affix file, see \|spell-SLASH\|. Note that without this SLASH item the word will be "TCP,IP". AFFIX FILE FORMAT spell-aff-format spell-affix-vim spell-affix-comment Comment lines in the .aff file start with a '#': # comment line ~ Items with a fixed number of arguments can be followed by a comment. But only if none of the arguments can contain white space. The comment must start with a "#" character. Example: KEEPCASE = # fix case for words with this flag ~ ENCODING spell-SET The affix file can be in any encoding that is supported by "iconv". However, in some cases the current locale should also be set properly at the time \|:mkspell\| is invoked. Adding FOL/LOW/UPP lines removes this requirement \|spell-FOL\|. The encoding should be specified before anything where the encoding matters. The encoding applies both to the affix file and the dictionary file. It is done with a SET line: SET utf-8 ~ The encoding can be different from the value of the 'encoding' option at the time ":mkspell" is used. Vim will then convert everything to 'encoding' and generate a spell file for 'encoding'. If some of the used characters to not fit in 'encoding' you will get an error message. spell-affix-mbyte When using a multibyte encoding it's possible to use more different affix flags. But Myspell doesn't support that, thus you may not want to use it anyway. For compatibility use an 8-bit encoding. INFORMATION These entries in the affix file can be used to add information to the spell file. There are no restrictions on the format, but they should be in the right encoding. spell-NAME spell-VERSION spell-HOME spell-AUTHOR spell-EMAIL spell-COPYRIGHT NAME Name of the language VERSION 1.0.1 with fixes HOME http://www.myhome.eu AUTHOR John Doe EMAIL john AT Doe DOT net COPYRIGHT LGPL These fields are put in the .spl file as-is. The \|:spellinfo\| command can be used to view the info. :spellinfo :spelli :spelli[nfo] Display the information for the spell file(s) used for the current buffer. CHARACTER TABLES spell-affix-chars When using an 8-bit encoding the affix file should define what characters are word characters. This is because the system where ":mkspell" is used may not support a locale with this encoding and isalpha() won't work. For example when using "cp1250" on Unix. E761 E762 spell-FOL spell-LOW spell-UPP Three lines in the affix file are needed. Simplistic example: FOL áëñ ~ LOW áëñ ~ UPP ÁËÑ ~ All three lines must have exactly the same number of characters. The "FOL" line specifies the case-folded characters. These are used to compare words while ignoring case. For most encodings this is identical to the lower case line. The "LOW" line specifies the characters in lower-case. Mostly it's equal to the "FOL" line. The "UPP" line specifies the characters with upper-case. That is, a character is upper-case where it's different from the character at the same position in "FOL". An exception is made for the German sharp s ß. The upper-case version is "SS". In the FOL/LOW/UPP lines it should be included, so that it's recognized as a word character, but use the ß character in all three. ASCII characters should be omitted, Vim always handles these in the same way. When the encoding is UTF-8 no word characters need to be specified. E763 Vim allows you to use spell checking for several languages in the same file. You can list them in the 'spelllang' option. As a consequence all spell files for the same encoding must use the same word characters, otherwise they can't be combined without errors. If you get an E763 warning that the word tables differ you need to update your ".spl" spell files. If you downloaded the files, get the latest version of all spell files you use. If you are only using one, e.g., German, then also download the recent English spell files. Otherwise generate the .spl file again with \|:mkspell\|. If you still get errors check the FOL, LOW and UPP lines in the used .aff files. The XX.ascii.spl spell file generated with the "-ascii" argument will not contain the table with characters, so that it can be combine with spell files for any encoding. The .add.spl files also do not contain the table. MID-WORD CHARACTERS spell-midword Some characters are only to be considered word characters if they are used in between two ordinary word characters. An example is the single quote: It is often used to put text in quotes, thus it can't be recognized as a word character, but when it appears in between word characters it must be part of the word. This is needed to detect a spelling error such as they'are. That should be they're, but since "they" and "are" are words themselves that would go unnoticed. These characters are defined with MIDWORD in the .aff file. Example: MIDWORD '- ~ FLAG TYPES spell-FLAG Flags are used to specify the affixes that can be used with a word and for other properties of the word. Normally single-character flags are used. This limits the number of possible flags, especially for 8-bit encodings. The FLAG item can be used if more affixes are to be used. Possible values: FLAG long use two-character flags FLAG num use numbers, from 1 up to 65000 FLAG caplong use one-character flags without A-Z and two-character flags that start with A-Z With "FLAG num" the numbers in a list of affixes need to be separated with a comma: "234,2143,1435". This method is inefficient, but useful if the file is generated with a program. When using "caplong" the two-character flags all start with a capital: "Aa", "B1", "BB", etc. This is useful to use one-character flags for the most common items and two-character flags for uncommon items. Note: When using utf-8 only characters up to 65000 may be used for flags. Note: even when using "num" or "long" the number of flags available to compounding and prefixes is limited to about 250. AFFIXES spell-PFX spell-SFX The usual PFX (prefix) and SFX (suffix) lines are supported (see the Myspell documentation or the Aspell manual: http://aspell.net/man-html/Affix-Compression.html). Summary: SFX L Y 2 ~ SFX L 0 re [^x] ~ SFX L 0 ro x ~ The first line is a header and has four fields: SFX {flag} {combine} {count} {flag} The name used for the suffix. Mostly it's a single letter, but other characters can be used, see \|spell-FLAG\|. {combine} Can be 'Y' or 'N'. When 'Y' then the word plus suffix can also have a prefix. When 'N' then a prefix is not allowed. {count} The number of lines following. If this is wrong you will get an error message. For PFX the fields are exactly the same. The basic format for the following lines is: SFX {flag} {strip} {add} {condition} {extra} {flag} Must be the same as the {flag} used in the first line. {strip} Characters removed from the basic word. There is no check if the characters are actually there, only the length is used (in bytes). This better match the {condition}, otherwise strange things may happen. If the {strip} length is equal to or longer than the basic word the suffix won't be used. When {strip} is 0 (zero) then nothing is stripped. {add} Characters added to the basic word, after removing {strip}. Optionally there is a '/' followed by flags. The flags apply to the word plus affix. See \|spell-affix-flags\| {condition} A simplistic pattern. Only when this matches with a basic word will the suffix be used for that word. This is normally for using one suffix letter with different {add} and {strip} fields for words with different endings. When {condition} is a . (dot) there is no condition. The pattern may contain: - Literal characters. - A set of characters in []. [abc] matches a, b and c. A dash is allowed for a range [a-c], but this is Vim-specific. - A set of characters that starts with a ^, meaning the complement of the specified characters. [^abc] matches any character but a, b and c. {extra} Optional extra text: # comment Comment is ignored - Hunspell uses this, ignored For PFX the fields are the same, but the {strip}, {add} and {condition} apply to the start of the word. Note: Myspell ignores any extra text after the relevant info. Vim requires this text to start with a "#" so that mistakes don't go unnoticed. Example: SFX F 0 in [^i]n # Spion > Spionin ~ SFX F 0 nen in # Bauerin > Bauerinnen ~ However, to avoid lots of errors in affix files written for Myspell, you can add the IGNOREEXTRA flag. Apparently Myspell allows an affix name to appear more than once. Since this might also be a mistake, Vim checks for an extra "S". The affix files for Myspell that use this feature apparently have this flag. Example: SFX a Y 1 S ~ SFX a 0 an . ~ SFX a Y 2 S ~ SFX a 0 en . ~ SFX a 0 on . ~ AFFIX FLAGS spell-affix-flags This is a feature that comes from Hunspell: The affix may specify flags. This works similar to flags specified on a basic word. The flags apply to the basic word plus the affix (but there are restrictions). Example: SFX S Y 1 ~ SFX S 0 s . ~ SFX A Y 1 ~ SFX A 0 able/S . ~ When the dictionary file contains "drink/AS" then these words are possible: drink drinks uses S suffix drinkable uses A suffix drinkables uses A suffix and then S suffix Generally the flags of the suffix are added to the flags of the basic word, both are used for the word plus suffix. But the flags of the basic word are only used once for affixes, except that both one prefix and one suffix can be used when both support combining. Specifically, the affix flags can be used for: - Suffixes on suffixes, as in the example above. This works once, thus you can have two suffixes on a word (plus one prefix). - Making the word with the affix rare, by using the \|spell-RARE\| flag. - Exclude the word with the affix from compounding, by using the \|spell-COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG\| flag. - Allow the word with the affix to be part of a compound word on the side of the affix with the \|spell-COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG\|. - Use the NEEDCOMPOUND flag: word plus affix can only be used as part of a compound word. \|spell-NEEDCOMPOUND\| - Compound flags: word plus affix can be part of a compound word at the end, middle, start, etc. The flags are combined with the flags of the basic word. \|spell-compound\| - NEEDAFFIX: another affix is needed to make a valid word. - CIRCUMFIX, as explained just below. IGNOREEXTRA spell-IGNOREEXTRA Normally Vim gives an error for an extra field that does not start with '#'. This avoids errors going unnoticed. However, some files created for Myspell or Hunspell may contain many entries with an extra field. Use the IGNOREEXTRA flag to avoid lots of errors. CIRCUMFIX spell-CIRCUMFIX The CIRCUMFIX flag means a prefix and suffix must be added at the same time. If a prefix has the CIRCUMFIX flag than only suffixes with the CIRCUMFIX flag can be added, and the other way around. An alternative is to only specify the suffix, and give the that suffix two flags: The required prefix and the NEEDAFFIX flag. \|spell-NEEDAFFIX\| PFXPOSTPONE spell-PFXPOSTPONE When an affix file has very many prefixes that apply to many words it's not possible to build the whole word list in memory. This applies to Hebrew (a list with all words is over a Gbyte). In that case applying prefixes must be postponed. This makes spell checking slower. It is indicated by this keyword in the .aff file: PFXPOSTPONE ~ Only prefixes without a chop string and without flags can be postponed. Prefixes with a chop string or with flags will still be included in the word list. An exception if the chop string is one character and equal to the last character of the added string, but in lower case. Thus when the chop string is used to allow the following word to start with an upper case letter. WORDS WITH A SLASH spell-SLASH The slash is used in the .dic file to separate the basic word from the affix letters and other flags. Unfortunately, this means you cannot use a slash in a word. Thus "TCP/IP" is not a word but "TCP" with the flags "IP". To include a slash in the word put a backslash before it: "TCP\/IP". In the rare case you want to use a backslash inside a word you need to use two backslashes. Any other use of the backslash is reserved for future expansion. KEEP-CASE WORDS spell-KEEPCASE In the affix file a KEEPCASE line can be used to define the affix name used for keep-case words. Example: KEEPCASE = ~ This flag is not supported by Myspell. It has the meaning that case matters. This can be used if the word does not have the first letter in upper case at the start of a sentence. Example: word list matches does not match ~ 's morgens/= 's morgens 'S morgens 's Morgens 'S MORGENS 's Morgens 's Morgens 'S MORGENS 'S morgens 's morgens The flag can also be used to avoid that the word matches when it is in all upper-case letters. RARE WORDS spell-RARE In the affix file a RARE line can be used to define the affix name used for rare words. Example: RARE ? ~ Rare words are highlighted differently from bad words. This is to be used for words that are correct for the language, but are hardly ever used and could be a typing mistake anyway. When the same word is found as good it won't be highlighted as rare. This flag can also be used on an affix, so that a basic word is not rare but the basic word plus affix is rare \|spell-affix-flags\|. However, if the word also appears as a good word in another way (e.g., in another region) it won't be marked as rare. BAD WORDS spell-BAD In the affix file a BAD line can be used to define the affix name used for bad words. Example: BAD ! ~ This can be used to exclude words that would otherwise be good. For example "the the" in the .dic file: the the/! ~ Once a word has been marked as bad it won't be undone by encountering the same word as good. The flag also applies to the word with affixes, thus this can be used to mark a whole bunch of related words as bad. spell-FORBIDDENWORD FORBIDDENWORD can be used just like BAD. For compatibility with Hunspell. spell-NEEDAFFIX The NEEDAFFIX flag is used to require that a word is used with an affix. The word itself is not a good word (unless there is an empty affix). Example: NEEDAFFIX + ~ COMPOUND WORDS spell-compound A compound word is a longer word made by concatenating words that appear in the .dic file. To specify which words may be concatenated a character is used. This character is put in the list of affixes after the word. We will call this character a flag here. Obviously these flags must be different from any affix IDs used. spell-COMPOUNDFLAG The Myspell compatible method uses one flag, specified with COMPOUNDFLAG. All words with this flag combine in any order. This means there is no control over which word comes first. Example: COMPOUNDFLAG c ~ spell-COMPOUNDRULE A more advanced method to specify how compound words can be formed uses multiple items with multiple flags. This is not compatible with Myspell 3.0. Let's start with an example: COMPOUNDRULE c+ ~ COMPOUNDRULE se ~ The first line defines that words with the "c" flag can be concatenated in any order. The second line defines compound words that are made of one word with the "s" flag and one word with the "e" flag. With this dictionary: bork/c ~ onion/s ~ soup/e ~ You can make these words: bork borkbork borkborkbork (etc.) onion soup onionsoup The COMPOUNDRULE item may appear multiple times. The argument is made out of one or more groups, where each group can be: one flag e.g., c alternate flags inside [] e.g., [abc] Optionally this may be followed by: * the group appears zero or more times, e.g., sme + the group appears one or more times, e.g., c+ ? the group appears zero times or once, e.g., x? This is similar to the regexp pattern syntax (but not the same!). A few examples with the sequence of word flags they require: COMPOUNDRULE x+ x xx xxx etc. COMPOUNDRULE yz yz COMPOUNDRULE x+z xz xxz xxxz etc. COMPOUNDRULE yx+ yx yxx yxxx etc. COMPOUNDRULE xy?z xz xyz COMPOUNDRULE [abc]z az bz cz COMPOUNDRULE [abc]+z az aaz abaz bz baz bcbz cz caz cbaz etc. COMPOUNDRULE a[xyz]+ ax axx axyz ay ayx ayzz az azy azxy etc. COMPOUNDRULE sme se sme smme smmme etc. COMPOUNDRULE s[xyz]e se sxe sxye sxyxe sye syze sze szye szyxe etc. A specific example: Allow a compound to be made of two words and a dash: In the .aff file: COMPOUNDRULE sde ~ NEEDAFFIX x ~ COMPOUNDWORDMAX 3 ~ COMPOUNDMIN 1 ~ In the .dic file: start/s ~ end/e ~ -/xd ~ This allows for the word "start-end", but not "startend". An additional implied rule is that, without further flags, a word with a prefix cannot be compounded after another word, and a word with a suffix cannot be compounded with a following word. Thus the affix cannot appear on the inside of a compound word. This can be changed with the \|spell-COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG\|. spell-NEEDCOMPOUND* The NEEDCOMPOUND flag is used to require that a word is used as part of a compound word. The word itself is not a good word. Example: NEEDCOMPOUND & ~ spell-ONLYINCOMPOUND The ONLYINCOMPOUND does exactly the same as NEEDCOMPOUND. Supported for compatibility with Hunspell. spell-COMPOUNDMIN The minimal character length of a word used for compounding is specified with COMPOUNDMIN. Example: COMPOUNDMIN 5 ~ When omitted there is no minimal length. Obviously you could just leave out the compound flag from short words instead, this feature is present for compatibility with Myspell. spell-COMPOUNDWORDMAX The maximum number of words that can be concatenated into a compound word is specified with COMPOUNDWORDMAX. Example: COMPOUNDWORDMAX 3 ~ When omitted there is no maximum. It applies to all compound words. To set a limit for words with specific flags make sure the items in COMPOUNDRULE where they appear don't allow too many words. spell-COMPOUNDSYLMAX The maximum number of syllables that a compound word may contain is specified with COMPOUNDSYLMAX. Example: COMPOUNDSYLMAX 6 ~ This has no effect if there is no SYLLABLE item. Without COMPOUNDSYLMAX there is no limit on the number of syllables. If both COMPOUNDWORDMAX and COMPOUNDSYLMAX are defined, a compound word is accepted if it fits one of the criteria, thus is either made from up to COMPOUNDWORDMAX words or contains up to COMPOUNDSYLMAX syllables. spell-COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG The COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG specifies a flag that can be used on an affix. It means that the word plus affix cannot be used in a compound word. Example: affix file: COMPOUNDFLAG c ~ COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG x ~ SFX a Y 2 ~ SFX a 0 s . ~ SFX a 0 ize/x . ~ dictionary: word/c ~ util/ac ~ This allows for "wordutil" and "wordutils" but not "wordutilize". Note: this doesn't work for postponed prefixes yet. spell-COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG The COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG specifies a flag that can be used on an affix. It means that the word plus affix can also be used in a compound word in a way where the affix ends up halfway the word. Without this flag that is not allowed. Note: this doesn't work for postponed prefixes yet. spell-COMPOUNDROOT The COMPOUNDROOT flag is used for words in the dictionary that are already a compound. This means it counts for two words when checking the compounding rules. Can also be used for an affix to count the affix as a compounding word. spell-CHECKCOMPOUNDPATTERN CHECKCOMPOUNDPATTERN is used to define patterns that, when matching at the position where two words are compounded together forbids the compound. For example: CHECKCOMPOUNDPATTERN o e ~ This forbids compounding if the first word ends in "o" and the second word starts with "e". The arguments must be plain text, no patterns are actually supported, despite the item name. Case is always ignored. The Hunspell feature to use three arguments and flags is not supported. spell-NOCOMPOUNDSUGS This item indicates that using compounding to make suggestions is not a good idea. Use this when compounding is used with very short or one-character words. E.g. to make numbers out of digits. Without this flag creating suggestions would spend most time trying all kind of weird compound words. NOCOMPOUNDSUGS ~ spell-SYLLABLE The SYLLABLE item defines characters or character sequences that are used to count the number of syllables in a word. Example: SYLLABLE aáeéiíoóöõuúüûy/aa/au/ea/ee/ei/ie/oa/oe/oo/ou/uu/ui ~ Before the first slash is the set of characters that are counted for one syllable, also when repeated and mixed, until the next character that is not in this set. After the slash come sequences of characters that are counted for one syllable. These are preferred over using characters from the set. With the example "ideeen" has three syllables, counted by "i", "ee" and "e". Only case-folded letters need to be included. Another way to restrict compounding was mentioned above: Adding the \|spell-COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG\| flag to an affix causes all words that are made with that affix to not be used for compounding. UNLIMITED COMPOUNDING spell-NOBREAK For some languages, such as Thai, there is no space in between words. This looks like all words are compounded. To specify this use the NOBREAK item in the affix file, without arguments: NOBREAK ~ Vim will try to figure out where one word ends and a next starts. When there are spelling mistakes this may not be quite right. spell-COMMON Common words can be specified with the COMMON item. This will give better suggestions when editing a short file. Example: COMMON the of to and a in is it you that he she was for on are ~ The words must be separated by white space, up to 25 per line. When multiple regions are specified in a ":mkspell" command the common words for all regions are combined and used for all regions. spell-NOSPLITSUGS This item indicates that splitting a word to make suggestions is not a good idea. Split-word suggestions will appear only when there are few similar words. NOSPLITSUGS ~ spell-NOSUGGEST The flag specified with NOSUGGEST can be used for words that will not be suggested. Can be used for obscene words. NOSUGGEST % ~ REPLACEMENTS spell-REP In the affix file REP items can be used to define common mistakes. This is used to make spelling suggestions. The items define the "from" text and the "to" replacement. Example: REP 4 ~ REP f ph ~ REP ph f ~ REP k ch ~ REP ch k ~ The first line specifies the number of REP lines following. Vim ignores the number, but it must be there (for compatibility with Myspell). Don't include simple one-character replacements or swaps. Vim will try these anyway. You can include whole words if you want to, but you might want to use the "file:" item in 'spellsuggest' instead. You can include a space by using an underscore: REP the_the the ~ SIMILAR CHARACTERS spell-MAP E783 In the affix file MAP items can be used to define letters that are very much alike. This is mostly used for a letter with different accents. This is used to prefer suggestions with these letters substituted. Example: MAP 2 ~ MAP eéëêè ~ MAP uüùúû ~ The first line specifies the number of MAP lines following. Vim ignores the number, but the line must be there. Each letter must appear in only one of the MAP items. It's a bit more efficient if the first letter is ASCII or at least one without accents. .SUG FILE spell-NOSUGFILE When soundfolding is specified in the affix file then ":mkspell" will normally produce a .sug file next to the .spl file. This file is used to find suggestions by their sound-a-like form quickly. At the cost of a lot of memory (the amount depends on the number of words, \|:mkspell\| will display an estimate when it's done). To avoid producing a .sug file use this item in the affix file: NOSUGFILE ~ Users can simply omit the .sug file if they don't want to use it. SOUND-A-LIKE spell-SAL In the affix file SAL items can be used to define the sounds-a-like mechanism to be used. The main items define the "from" text and the "to" replacement. Simplistic example: SAL CIA X ~ SAL CH X ~ SAL C K ~ SAL K K ~ There are a few rules and this can become quite complicated. An explanation how it works can be found in the Aspell manual: http://aspell.net/man-html/Phonetic-Code.html. There are a few special items: SAL followup true ~ SAL collapse_result true ~ SAL remove_accents true ~ "1" has the same meaning as "true". Any other value means "false". SIMPLE SOUNDFOLDING spell-SOFOFROM spell-SOFOTO The SAL mechanism is complex and slow. A simpler mechanism is mapping all characters to another character, mapping similar sounding characters to the same character. At the same time this does case folding. You can not have both SAL items and simple soundfolding. There are two items required: one to specify the characters that are mapped and one that specifies the characters they are mapped to. They must have exactly the same number of characters. Example: SOFOFROM abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ~ SOFOTO ebctefghejklnnepkrstevvkesebctefghejklnnepkrstevvkes ~ In the example all vowels are mapped to the same character 'e'. Another method would be to leave out all vowels. Some characters that sound nearly the same and are often mixed up, such as 'm' and 'n', are mapped to the same character. Don't do this too much, all words will start looking alike. Characters that do not appear in SOFOFROM will be left out, except that all white space is replaced by one space. Sequences of the same character in SOFOFROM are replaced by one. You can use the \|soundfold()\| function to try out the results. Or set the 'verbose' option to see the score in the output of the \|z=\| command. UNSUPPORTED ITEMS spell-affix-not-supported These items appear in the affix file of other spell checkers. In Vim they are ignored, not supported or defined in another way. ACCENT (Hunspell) spell-ACCENT Use MAP instead. \|spell-MAP\| BREAK (Hunspell) spell-BREAK Define break points. Unclear how it works exactly. Not supported. CHECKCOMPOUNDCASE (Hunspell) spell-CHECKCOMPOUNDCASE Disallow uppercase letters at compound word boundaries. Not supported. CHECKCOMPOUNDDUP (Hunspell) spell-CHECKCOMPOUNDDUP Disallow using the same word twice in a compound. Not supported. CHECKCOMPOUNDREP (Hunspell) spell-CHECKCOMPOUNDREP Something about using REP items and compound words. Not supported. CHECKCOMPOUNDTRIPLE (Hunspell) spell-CHECKCOMPOUNDTRIPLE Forbid three identical characters when compounding. Not supported. CHECKSHARPS (Hunspell)) spell-CHECKSHARPS SS letter pair in uppercased (German) words may be upper case sharp s (ß). Not supported. COMPLEXPREFIXES (Hunspell) spell-COMPLEXPREFIXES Enables using two prefixes. Not supported. COMPOUND (Hunspell) spell-COMPOUND This is one line with the count of COMPOUND items, followed by that many COMPOUND lines with a pattern. Remove the first line with the count and rename the other items to COMPOUNDRULE \|spell-COMPOUNDRULE\| COMPOUNDFIRST (Hunspell) spell-COMPOUNDFIRST Use COMPOUNDRULE instead. \|spell-COMPOUNDRULE\| COMPOUNDBEGIN (Hunspell) spell-COMPOUNDBEGIN Words signed with COMPOUNDBEGIN may be first elements in compound words. Use COMPOUNDRULE instead. \|spell-COMPOUNDRULE\| COMPOUNDLAST (Hunspell) spell-COMPOUNDLAST Words signed with COMPOUNDLAST may be last elements in compound words. Use COMPOUNDRULE instead. \|spell-COMPOUNDRULE\| COMPOUNDEND (Hunspell) spell-COMPOUNDEND Probably the same as COMPOUNDLAST COMPOUNDMIDDLE (Hunspell) spell-COMPOUNDMIDDLE Words signed with COMPOUNDMIDDLE may be middle elements in compound words. Use COMPOUNDRULE instead. \|spell-COMPOUNDRULE\| COMPOUNDRULES (Hunspell) spell-COMPOUNDRULES Number of COMPOUNDRULE lines following. Ignored, but the argument must be a number. COMPOUNDSYLLABLE (Hunspell) spell-COMPOUNDSYLLABLE Use SYLLABLE and COMPOUNDSYLMAX instead. \|spell-SYLLABLE\| \|spell-COMPOUNDSYLMAX\| KEY (Hunspell) spell-KEY Define characters that are close together on the keyboard. Used to give better suggestions. Not supported. LANG (Hunspell) spell-LANG This specifies language-specific behavior. This actually moves part of the language knowledge into the program, therefore Vim does not support it. Each language property must be specified separately. LEMMA_PRESENT (Hunspell) spell-LEMMA_PRESENT Only needed for morphological analysis. MAXNGRAMSUGS (Hunspell) spell-MAXNGRAMSUGS Set number of n-gram suggestions. Not supported. PSEUDOROOT (Hunspell) spell-PSEUDOROOT Use NEEDAFFIX instead. \|spell-NEEDAFFIX\| SUGSWITHDOTS (Hunspell) spell-SUGSWITHDOTS Adds dots to suggestions. Vim doesn't need this. SYLLABLENUM (Hunspell) spell-SYLLABLENUM Not supported. TRY (Myspell, Hunspell, others) spell-TRY Vim does not use the TRY item, it is ignored. For making suggestions the actual characters in the words are used, that is much more efficient. WORDCHARS (Hunspell) spell-WORDCHARS Used to recognize words. Vim doesn't need it, because there is no need to separate words before checking them (using a trie instead of a hashtable). vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	62.6 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 sponsor.txt sponsor.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2008 Jun 21 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar SPONSOR VIM DEVELOPMENT sponsor Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort. To show your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue working on Vim please send a donation. Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children in Uganda. See \|uganda\|. But at the same time donations increase Bram's motivation to keep working on Vim! For the most recent information about sponsoring look on the Vim web site: http://www.vim.org/sponsor/ More explanations can be found in the \|sponsor-faq\|. REGISTERED VIM USER register You can become a registered Vim user by sending at least 10 euro. This works similar to sponsoring Vim, see \|sponsor\| above. Registration was made possible for the situation where your boss or bookkeeper may be willing to register software, but does not like the terms "sponsoring" and "donation". More explanations can be found in the \|register-faq\|. VOTE FOR FEATURES vote-for-features To give registered Vim users and sponsors an advantage over lurkers they can vote for the items Bram should work on. How does this voting work? 1. You send at least 10 euro. See below for ways to transfer money \|send-money\|. 2. You will be e-mailed a registration key. Enter this key on your account page on the Vim website. You can easily create an account if you don't have one yet. 3. You can enter your votes on the voting page. There is a link to that page on your account page after entering a registration key. Your votes will be counted for two years. 4. The voting results appear on the results page, which is visible for everybody: http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php Additionally, once you have sent 100 euro or more in total, your name appears in the "Vim hall of honour": http://www.vim.org/sponsor/hall_of_honour.php But only if you enable this on your account page. HOW TO SEND MONEY send-money Credit card Through PayPal, see the PayPal site for information: https://www.paypal.com/en_US/mrb/pal=XAC62PML3GF8Q The e-mail address for sending sponsorship money is: donate@vim.org The e-mail address for Vim registration is: register@vim.org Using Euro is preferred, other currencies are also accepted. In Euro countries a bank transfer is preferred, this has lower costs. Other methods See \|iccf-donations\|. Include "Vim sponsor" or "Vim registration" in the comment of your money transfer. Send me an e-mail that mentions the amount you transferred if you want to vote for features and show others you are a registered Vim user or sponsor. Cash Small amounts can be sent with ordinary mail. Put something around the money, so that it's not noticeable from the outside. Mention your e-mail address if you want to vote for features and show others you are a registered Vim user or sponsor. You can use this permanent address: Bram Moolenaar Finsterruetihof 1 8134 Adliswil Switzerland QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS sponsor-faq register-faq Why should I give money? If you do not show your appreciation for Vim then Bram will be less motivated to fix bugs and add new features. He will do something else instead. How much money should I send? That is up to you. The more you give, the more children will be helped. An indication for individuals that use Vim at home: 10 Euro per year. For professional use: 30 Euro per year per person. Send at least 10 euro to be able to vote for features. What do I get in return? Each registered Vim user and sponsor who donates at least 10 euro will be able to vote for new features. These votes will give priority to the work on Vim. The votes are valid for two years. The more money you send the more your votes count \|votes-counted\|. If you send 100 Euro or more in total you will be mentioned on the "Vim hall of honour" page on the Vim web site. But only if you enable this on your account page. You can also select whether the amount will be visible. How do I become a Vim sponsor or registered Vim user? Send money, as explained above \|send-money\| and include your e-mail address. When the money has been received you will receive a unique registration key. This key can be used on the Vim website to activate voting on your Vim account. You will then get an extra page where you can vote for features and choose whether others will be able to see that you donated. There is a link to this page on your "My Account" page. What is the difference between sponsoring and registering? It has a different name. Use the term "registration" if your boss doesn't like "sponsoring" or "donation". The benefits are the same. How can I send money? See \|send-money\|. Check the web site for the most recent information: http://www.vim.org/sponsor/ Why don't you use the SourceForge donation system? SourceForge takes 5% of the donations for themselves. If you want to support SourceForge you can send money to them directly. I cannot afford to send money, may I still use Vim? Yes. I did not register Vim, can I use all available features? Yes. I noticed a bug, do I need to register before I can report it? No, suggestions for improving Vim can always be given. For improvements use the developer \|maillist\|, for reporting bugs see \|bugs\|. How are my votes counted? votes-counted You may vote when you send 10 euro or more. You can enter up to ten votes. You can select the same item several times to give it more points. You can also enter three counter votes, these count as negative points. When you send 30 euro or more the points are doubled. Above 100 euro they count four times, above 300 euro they count six times, above 1000 euro ten times. Can I change my votes? You can change your votes any time you like, up to two years after you sent money. The points will be counted right away. Can I add an item to vote on? Not directly. You can suggest items to vote on to Bram. He will consider fitting your item into the list. How about Charityware? Currently the Vim donations go to \|uganda\| anyway. Thus it doesn't matter if you sponsor Vim or ICCF. Except that Vim sponsoring will allow you to vote for features. I donated $$$, now please add feature XYZ! There is no direct relation between your donation and the work Bram does. Otherwise you would be paying for work and we would have to pay tax over the donation. If you want to hire Bram for specific work, contact him directly, don't use the donation system. Are the donations tax deductible? That depends on your country. The donations to help the children in \|Uganda\| are tax deductible in Holland, Germany, Canada and in the USA. See the ICCF website http://iccf-holland.org/donate.html. You must send an e-mail to Bram to let him know that the donation is done because of the use of Vim. Can you send me a bill? No, because there is no relation between the money you send and the work that is done. But a receipt is possible. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	7.03 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 starting.txt starting.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Feb 10 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Starting Vim starting 1. Vim arguments \|vim-arguments\| 2. Vim on the Amiga \|starting-amiga\| 3. Running eVim \|evim-keys\| 4. Initialization \|initialization\| 5. $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME \|$VIM\| 6. Suspending \|suspend\| 7. Exiting \|exiting\| 8. Saving settings \|save-settings\| 9. Views and Sessions \|views-sessions\| 10. The viminfo file \|viminfo-file\| ============================================================================== 1. Vim arguments vim-arguments Most often, Vim is started to edit a single file with the command vim filename -vim More generally, Vim is started with: vim [option \| filename] .. Option arguments and file name arguments can be mixed, and any number of them can be given. However, watch out for options that take an argument. For compatibility with various Vi versions, see \|cmdline-arguments\|. Exactly one out of the following five items may be used to choose how to start editing: -file --- filename One or more file names. The first one will be the current file and read into the buffer. The cursor will be positioned on the first line of the buffer. To avoid a file name starting with a '-' being interpreted as an option, precede the arglist with "--", e.g.: > vim -- -filename < All arguments after the "--" will be interpreted as file names, no other options or "+command" argument can follow. For behavior of quotes on MS-Windows, see \|win32-quotes\|. -- - This argument can mean two things, depending on whether Ex mode is to be used. Starting in Normal mode: > vim - ex -v - < Start editing a new buffer, which is filled with text that is read from stdin. The commands that would normally be read from stdin will now be read from stderr. Example: > find . -name ".c" -print \| vim - < The buffer will be marked as modified, so that you are reminded to save the text when trying to exit. If you don't like that, put this these lines in your vimrc: > " Don't set 'modified' when reading from stdin au StdinReadPost set nomodified < Starting in Ex mode: > ex - vim -e - exim - vim -E < Start editing in silent mode. See \|-s-ex\|. -t -tag -t {tag} A tag. "tag" is looked up in the tags file, the associated file becomes the current file, and the associated command is executed. Mostly this is used for C programs, in which case "tag" often is a function name. The effect is that the file containing that function becomes the current file and the cursor is positioned on the start of the function (see \|tags\|). -q -qf -q [errorfile] QuickFix mode. The file with the name [errorfile] is read and the first error is displayed. See \|quickfix\|. If [errorfile] is not given, the 'errorfile' option is used for the file name. See 'errorfile' for the default value. (nothing) Without one of the four items above, Vim will start editing a new buffer. It's empty and doesn't have a file name. The startup mode can be changed by using another name instead of "vim", which is equal to giving options: ex vim -e Start in Ex mode (see \|Ex-mode\|). ex exim vim -E Start in improved Ex mode (see \|Ex-mode\|). exim (normally not installed) view vim -R Start in read-only mode (see \|-R\|). view gvim vim -g Start the GUI (see \|gui\|). gvim gex vim -eg Start the GUI in Ex mode. gex gview vim -Rg Start the GUI in read-only mode. gview rvim vim -Z Like "vim", but in restricted mode (see \|-Z\|) rvim rview vim -RZ Like "view", but in restricted mode. rview rgvim vim -gZ Like "gvim", but in restricted mode. rgvim rgview vim -RgZ Like "gview", but in restricted mode. rgview evim vim -y Easy Vim: set 'insertmode' (see \|-y\|) evim eview vim -yR Like "evim" in read-only mode eview vimdiff vim -d Start in diff mode \|diff-mode\| gvimdiff vim -gd Start in diff mode \|diff-mode\| Additional characters may follow, they are ignored. For example, you can have "gvim-8" to start the GUI. You must have an executable by that name then, of course. On Unix, you would normally have one executable called Vim, and links from the different startup-names to that executable. If your system does not support links and you do not want to have several copies of the executable, you could use an alias instead. For example: > alias view vim -R alias gvim vim -g < startup-options The option arguments may be given in any order. Single-letter options can be combined after one dash. There can be no option arguments after the "--" argument. On VMS all option arguments are assumed to be lowercase, unless preceded with a slash. Thus "-R" means recovery and "-/R" readonly. --help -h --help -? -? -h Give usage (help) message and exit. See \|info-message\| about capturing the text. --version --version Print version information and exit. Same output as for \|:version\| command. See \|info-message\| about capturing the text. --noplugin --noplugin Skip loading plugins. Resets the 'loadplugins' option. Note that the \|-u\| argument may also disable loading plugins: argument load: vimrc files plugins defaults.vim ~ (nothing) yes yes yes -u NONE no no no -u DEFAULTS no no yes -u NORC no yes no --noplugin yes no yes --startuptime {fname} --startuptime During startup write timing messages to the file {fname}. This can be used to find out where time is spent while loading your .vimrc, plugins and opening the first file. When {fname} already exists new messages are appended. {only available when compiled with the \|+startuptime\| feature} --literal --literal Take file names literally, don't expand wildcards. Not needed for Unix, because Vim always takes file names literally (the shell expands wildcards). Applies to all the names, also the ones that come before this argument. -+ +[num] The cursor will be positioned on line "num" for the first file being edited. If "num" is missing, the cursor will be positioned on the last line. -+/ +/{pat} The cursor will be positioned on the first line containing "pat" in the first file being edited (see \|pattern\| for the available search patterns). The search starts at the cursor position, which can be the first line or the cursor position last used from \|viminfo\|. To force a search from the first line use "+1 +/pat". +{command} -+c -c -c {command} {command} will be executed after the first file has been read (and after autocommands and modelines for that file have been processed). "command" is interpreted as an Ex command. If the "command" contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes (this depends on the shell that is used). Example: > vim "+set si" main.c vim "+find stdio.h" vim -c "set ff=dos" -c wq mine.mak < Note: You can use up to 10 "+" or "-c" arguments in a Vim command. They are executed in the order given. A "-S" argument counts as a "-c" argument as well. --cmd {command} --cmd {command} will be executed before processing any vimrc file. Otherwise it acts like -c {command}. You can use up to 10 of these commands, independently from "-c" commands. -S -S {file} The {file} will be sourced after the first file has been read. This is an easy way to do the equivalent of: > -c "source {file}" < It can be mixed with "-c" arguments and repeated like "-c". The limit of 10 "-c" arguments applies here as well. {file} cannot start with a "-". Do not use this for running a script to do some work and exit Vim, you won't see error messages. Use \|-u\| instead. -S Works like "-S Session.vim". Only when used as the last argument or when another "-" option follows. -r -r Recovery mode. Without a file name argument, a list of existing swap files is given. With a file name, a swap file is read to recover a crashed editing session. See \|crash-recovery\|. -L -L Same as -r. -R -R Readonly mode. The 'readonly' option will be set for all the files being edited. You can still edit the buffer, but will be prevented from accidentally overwriting a file. If you forgot that you are in View mode and did make some changes, you can overwrite a file by adding an exclamation mark to the Ex command, as in ":w!". The 'readonly' option can be reset with ":set noro" (see the options chapter, \|options\|). Subsequent edits will not be done in readonly mode. Calling the executable "view" has the same effect as the -R argument. The 'updatecount' option will be set to 10000, meaning that the swap file will not be updated automatically very often. See \|-M\| for disallowing modifications. -m -m Modifications not allowed to be written. The 'write' option will be reset, so that writing files is disabled. However, the 'write' option can be set to enable writing again. -M -M Modifications not allowed. The 'modifiable' option will be reset, so that changes are not allowed. The 'write' option will be reset, so that writing files is disabled. However, the 'modifiable' and 'write' options can be set to enable changes and writing. -Z restricted-mode E145 E981 -Z Restricted mode. All commands that make use of an external shell are disabled. This includes suspending with CTRL-Z, ":sh", filtering, the system() function, backtick expansion and libcall(). Also disallowed are delete(), rename(), mkdir(), job_start(), etc. Interfaces, such as Python, Ruby and Lua, are also disabled, since they could be used to execute shell commands. Perl uses the Safe module. Note that the user may still find a loophole to execute a shell command, it has only been made difficult. -g -g Start Vim in GUI mode. See \|gui\|. For the opposite see \|-v\|. -v -v Start Ex in Vi mode. Only makes a difference when the executable is called "ex" or "gvim". For gvim the GUI is not started if possible. -e -e Start Vim in Ex mode \|Q\|. Only makes a difference when the executable is not called "ex". -E -E Start Vim in improved Ex mode \|gQ\|. Only makes a difference when the executable is not called "exim". -s-ex -s Silent or batch mode. Only when Vim was started as "ex" or when preceded with the "-e" argument. Otherwise see \|-s\|, which does take an argument while this use of "-s" doesn't. To be used when Vim is used to execute Ex commands from a file instead of a terminal. Switches off most prompts and informative messages. Also warnings and error messages. The output of these commands is displayed (to stdout): :print :list :number :set to display option values. When 'verbose' is non-zero messages are printed (for debugging, to stderr). 'term' and $TERM are not used. If Vim appears to be stuck try typing "qa!<Enter>". You don't get a prompt thus you can't see Vim is waiting for you to type something. Initializations are skipped (except the ones given with the "-u" argument). Example: > vim -e -s < thefilter thefile < For the opposite, to see errors from the script, execute the file with the \|-u\| flag: > vim -u thefilter thefile < -b -b Binary mode. File I/O will only recognize <NL> to separate lines. The 'expandtab' option will be reset. The 'textwidth' option is set to 0. 'modeline' is reset. The 'binary' option is set. This is done after reading the vimrc/exrc files but before reading any file in the arglist. See also \|edit-binary\|. -l -l Lisp mode. Sets the 'lisp' and 'showmatch' options on. -A -A Arabic mode. Sets the 'arabic' option on. {only when compiled with the \|+arabic\| features (which include \|+rightleft\|), otherwise Vim gives an error message and exits} -F -F This was used for Farsi mode, which has been removed. See \|farsi.txt\|. -H -H Hebrew mode. Sets the 'hkmap' and 'rightleft' options on. {only when compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature, otherwise Vim gives an error message and exits} -V verbose -V[N] Verbose. Sets the 'verbose' option to [N] (default: 10). Messages will be given for each file that is ":source"d and for reading or writing a viminfo file. Can be used to find out what is happening upon startup and exit. Example: > vim -V8 foobar -V[N]{filename} Like -V and set 'verbosefile' to {filename}. The result is that messages are not displayed but written to the file {filename}. {filename} must not start with a digit. Example: > vim -V20vimlog foobar < -D -D Debugging. Go to debugging mode when executing the first command from a script. \|debug-mode\| {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} -C -C Compatible mode. Sets the 'compatible' option. You can use this to get 'compatible', even though a .vimrc file exists. Keep in mind that the command ":set nocompatible" in some plugin or startup script overrules this, so you may end up with 'nocompatible' anyway. To find out, use: > :verbose set compatible? < Several plugins won't work with 'compatible' set. You may want to set it after startup this way: > vim "+set cp" filename < Also see \|compatible-default\|. -N -N Not compatible mode. Resets the 'compatible' option. You can use this to get 'nocompatible', when there is no .vimrc file or when using "-u NONE". Also see \|compatible-default\|. -y easy -y Easy mode. Implied for \|evim\| and \|eview\|. Starts with 'insertmode' set and behaves like a click-and-type editor. This sources the script $VIMRUNTIME/evim.vim. Mappings are set up to work like most click-and-type editors, see \|evim-keys\|. The GUI is started when available. -n -n No swap file will be used. Recovery after a crash will be impossible. Handy if you want to view or edit a file on a very slow medium (e.g., a floppy). Can also be done with ":set updatecount=0". You can switch it on again by setting the 'updatecount' option to some value, e.g., ":set uc=100". NOTE: Don't combine -n with -b, making -nb, because that has a different meaning: \|-nb\|. 'updatecount' is set to 0 AFTER executing commands from a vimrc file, but before the GUI initializations. Thus it overrides a setting for 'updatecount' in a vimrc file, but not in a gvimrc file. See \|startup\|. When you want to reduce accesses to the disk (e.g., for a laptop), don't use "-n", but set 'updatetime' and 'updatecount' to very big numbers, and type ":preserve" when you want to save your work. This way you keep the possibility for crash recovery. -o -o[N] Open N windows, split horizontally. If [N] is not given, one window is opened for every file given as argument. If there is not enough room, only the first few files get a window. If there are more windows than arguments, the last few windows will be editing an empty file. -O -O[N] Open N windows, split vertically. Otherwise it's like -o. If both the -o and the -O option are given, the last one on the command line determines how the windows will be split. -p -p[N] Open N tab pages. If [N] is not given, one tab page is opened for every file given as argument. The maximum is set with 'tabpagemax' pages (default 10). If there are more tab pages than arguments, the last few tab pages will be editing an empty file. Also see \|tabpage\|. -T -T {terminal} Set the terminal type to "terminal". This influences the codes that Vim will send to your terminal. This is normally not needed, because Vim will be able to find out what type of terminal you are using. (See \|terminal-info\|.) --not-a-term --not-a-term Tells Vim that the user knows that the input and/or output is not connected to a terminal. This will avoid the warning and the two second delay that would happen. Also avoids the "Reading from stdin..." message. Also avoids the "N files to edit" message. --ttyfail --ttyfail When the stdin or stdout is not a terminal (tty) then exit right away. -d -d Start in diff mode, like \|vimdiff\|. {not available when compiled without the \|+diff\| feature} -d {device} Only on the Amiga and when not compiled with the \|+diff\| feature. Works like "-dev". -dev -dev {device} Only on the Amiga: The {device} is opened to be used for editing. Normally you would use this to set the window position and size: "-d con:x/y/width/height", e.g., "-d con:30/10/600/150". But you can also use it to start editing on another device, e.g., AUX:. -f -f GUI: Do not disconnect from the program that started Vim. 'f' stands for "foreground". If omitted, the GUI forks a new process and exits the current one. "-f" should be used when gvim is started by a program that will wait for the edit session to finish (e.g., mail or readnews). If you want gvim never to fork, include 'f' in 'guioptions' in your \|gvimrc\|. Careful: You can use "-gf" to start the GUI in the foreground, but "-fg" is used to specify the foreground color. \|gui-fork\| Amiga: Do not restart Vim to open a new window. This option should be used when Vim is started by a program that will wait for the edit session to finish (e.g., mail or readnews). See \|amiga-window\|. MS-Windows: This option is not supported. However, when running Vim with an installed vim.bat or gvim.bat file it works. --nofork --nofork GUI: Do not fork. Same as \|-f\|. -u E282 -u {vimrc} The file {vimrc} is read for initializations. Most other initializations are skipped; see \|initialization\|. This can be used to start Vim in a special mode, with special mappings and settings. A shell alias can be used to make this easy to use. For example: > alias vimc vim -u ~/.c_vimrc !* < Also consider using autocommands; see \|autocommand\|. When {vimrc} is equal to "NONE" (all uppercase), all initializations from files and environment variables are skipped, including reading the \|gvimrc\| file when the GUI starts. Loading plugins is also skipped. When {vimrc} is equal to "NORC" (all uppercase), this has the same effect as "NONE", but loading plugins is not skipped. When {vimrc} is equal to "DEFAULTS" (all uppercase), this has the same effect as "NONE", but the \|defaults.vim\| script is loaded, which will also set 'nocompatible'. Also see \|--clean\|. Using the "-u" argument with another argument than DEFAULTS has the side effect that the 'compatible' option will be on by default. This can have unexpected effects. See \|'compatible'\|. -U E230 -U {gvimrc} The file {gvimrc} is read for initializations when the GUI starts. Other GUI initializations are skipped. When {gvimrc} is equal to "NONE", no file is read for GUI initializations at all. \|gui-init\| Exception: Reading the system-wide menu file is always done. -i -i {viminfo} The file "viminfo" is used instead of the default viminfo file. If the name "NONE" is used (all uppercase), no viminfo file is read or written, even if 'viminfo' is set or when ":rv" or ":wv" are used. See also \|viminfo-file\|. --clean --clean Similar to "-u DEFAULTS -U NONE -i NONE": - initializations from files and environment variables is skipped - 'runtimepath' and 'packpath' are set to exclude home directory entries (does not happen with -u DEFAULTS). - the \|defaults.vim\| script is loaded, which implies 'nocompatible': use Vim defaults - no \|gvimrc\| script is loaded - no viminfo file is read or written Note that a following "-u" argument overrules the effect of "-u DEFAULTS". -x -x Use encryption to read/write files. Will prompt for a key, which is then stored in the 'key' option. All writes will then use this key to encrypt the text. The '-x' argument is not needed when reading a file, because there is a check if the file that is being read has been encrypted, and Vim asks for a key automatically. \|encryption\| -X -X Do not try connecting to the X server to get the current window title and copy/paste using the X clipboard. This avoids a long startup time when running Vim in a terminal emulator and the connection to the X server is slow. See \|--startuptime\| to find out if affects you. Only makes a difference on Unix or VMS, when compiled with the \|+X11\| feature. Otherwise it's ignored. To disable the connection only for specific terminals, see the 'clipboard' option. When the X11 Session Management Protocol (XSMP) handler has been built in, the -X option also disables that connection as it, too, may have undesirable delays. When the connection is desired later anyway (e.g., for client-server messages), call the \|serverlist()\| function. This does not enable the XSMP handler though. -s -s {scriptin} The script file "scriptin" is read. The characters in the file are interpreted as if you had typed them. The same can be done with the command ":source! {scriptin}". If the end of the file is reached before the editor exits, further characters are read from the keyboard. Only works when not started in Ex mode, see \|-s-ex\|. See also \|complex-repeat\|. -w_nr -w {number} -w{number} Set the 'window' option to {number}. -w -w {scriptout} All the characters that you type are recorded in the file "scriptout", until you exit Vim. This is useful if you want to create a script file to be used with "vim -s" or ":source!". When the "scriptout" file already exists, new characters are appended. See also \|complex-repeat\|. {scriptout} cannot start with a digit. -W -W {scriptout} Like -w, but do not append, overwrite an existing file. --remote [+{cmd}] {file} ... Open the {file} in another Vim that functions as a server. Any non-file arguments must come before this. See \|--remote\|. --remote-silent [+{cmd}] {file} ... Like --remote, but don't complain if there is no server. See \|--remote-silent\|. --remote-wait [+{cmd}] {file} ... Like --remote, but wait for the server to finish editing the file(s). See \|--remote-wait\|. --remote-wait-silent [+{cmd}] {file} ... Like --remote-wait, but don't complain if there is no server. See \|--remote-wait-silent\|. --servername {name} Specify the name of the Vim server to send to or to become. See \|--servername\|. --remote-send {keys} Send {keys} to a Vim server and exit. See \|--remote-send\|. --remote-expr {expr} Evaluate {expr} in another Vim that functions as a server. The result is printed on stdout. See \|--remote-expr\|. --serverlist Output a list of Vim server names and exit. See \|--serverlist\|. --socketid {id} --socketid GTK+ GUI Vim only. Make gvim try to use GtkPlug mechanism, so that it runs inside another window. See \|gui-gtk-socketid\| for details. --windowid {id} --windowid Win32 GUI Vim only. Make gvim try to use the window {id} as a parent, so that it runs inside that window. See \|gui-w32-windowid\| for details. --echo-wid --echo-wid GTK+ GUI Vim only. Make gvim echo the Window ID on stdout, which can be used to run gvim in a kpart widget. The format of the output is: > WID: 12345\n --role {role} --role GTK+ 2 GUI only. Set the role of the main window to {role}. The window role can be used by a window manager to uniquely identify a window, in order to restore window placement and such. The --role argument is passed automatically when restoring the session on login. See \|gui-gnome-session\| -P {parent-title} -P MDI E671 E672 Win32 only: Specify the title of the parent application. When possible, Vim will run in an MDI window inside the application. {parent-title} must appear in the window title of the parent application. Make sure that it is specific enough. Note that the implementation is still primitive. It won't work with all applications and the menu doesn't work. -nb -nb -nb={fname} -nb:{hostname}:{addr}:{password} Attempt connecting to Netbeans and become an editor server for it. The second form specifies a file to read connection info from. The third form specifies the hostname, address and password for connecting to Netbeans. \|netbeans-run\| {only available when compiled with the \|+netbeans_intg\| feature; if not then -nb will make Vim exit} If the executable is called "view", Vim will start in Readonly mode. This is useful if you can make a hard or symbolic link from "view" to "vim". Starting in Readonly mode can also be done with "vim -R". If the executable is called "ex", Vim will start in "Ex" mode. This means it will accept only ":" commands. But when the "-v" argument is given, Vim will start in Normal mode anyway. Additional arguments are available on unix like systems when compiled with X11 GUI support. See \|gui-resources\|. ============================================================================== 2. Vim on the Amiga starting-amiga Starting Vim from the Workbench workbench ------------------------------- Vim can be started from the Workbench by clicking on its icon twice. It will then start with an empty buffer. Vim can be started to edit one or more files by using a "Project" icon. The "Default Tool" of the icon must be the full pathname of the Vim executable. The name of the ".info" file must be the same as the name of the text file. By clicking on this icon twice, Vim will be started with the file name as current file name, which will be read into the buffer (if it exists). You can edit multiple files by pressing the shift key while clicking on icons, and clicking twice on the last one. The "Default Tool" for all these icons must be the same. It is not possible to give arguments to Vim, other than file names, from the workbench. Vim window amiga-window ---------- Vim will run in the CLI window where it was started. If Vim was started with the "run" or "runback" command, or if Vim was started from the workbench, it will open a window of its own. Technical detail: To open the new window a little trick is used. As soon as Vim recognizes that it does not run in a normal CLI window, it will create a script file in "t:". This script file contains the same command as the one Vim was started with, and an "endcli" command. This script file is then executed with a "newcli" command (the "c:run" and "c:newcli" commands are required for this to work). The script file will hang around until reboot, or until you delete it. This method is required to get the ":sh" and ":!" commands to work correctly. But when Vim was started with the -f option (foreground mode), this method is not used. The reason for this is that when a program starts Vim with the -f option it will wait for Vim to exit. With the script trick, the calling program does not know when Vim exits. The -f option can be used when Vim is started by a mail program which also waits for the edit session to finish. As a consequence, the ":sh" and ":!" commands are not available when the -f option is used. Vim will automatically recognize the window size and react to window resizing. Under Amiga DOS 1.3, it is advised to use the fastfonts program, "FF", to speed up display redrawing. ============================================================================== 3. Running eVim evim-keys EVim runs Vim as click-and-type editor. This is very unlike the original Vi idea. But it helps for people that don't use Vim often enough to learn the commands. Hopefully they will find out that learning to use Normal mode commands will make their editing much more effective. In Evim these options are changed from their default value: :set nocompatible Use Vim improvements :set insertmode Remain in Insert mode most of the time :set hidden Keep invisible buffers loaded :set backup Keep backup files (not for VMS) :set backspace=2 Backspace over everything :set autoindent auto-indent new lines :set history=50 keep 50 lines of Ex commands :set ruler show the cursor position :set incsearch show matches halfway typing a pattern :set mouse=a use the mouse in all modes :set hlsearch highlight all matches for a search pattern :set whichwrap+=<,>,[,] <Left> and <Right> wrap around line breaks :set guioptions-=a non-Unix only: don't do auto-select Key mappings: <Down> moves by screen lines rather than file lines <Up> idem Q does "gq", formatting, instead of Ex mode <BS> in Visual mode: deletes the selection CTRL-X in Visual mode: Cut to clipboard <S-Del> idem CTRL-C in Visual mode: Copy to clipboard <C-Insert> idem CTRL-V Pastes from the clipboard (in any mode) <S-Insert> idem CTRL-Q do what CTRL-V used to do CTRL-Z undo CTRL-Y redo <M-Space> system menu CTRL-A select all <C-Tab> next window, CTRL-W w <C-F4> close window, CTRL-W c Additionally: - ":behave mswin" is used \|:behave\| - syntax highlighting is enabled - filetype detection is enabled, filetype plugins and indenting is enabled - in a text file 'textwidth' is set to 78 One hint: If you want to go to Normal mode to be able to type a sequence of commands, use CTRL-L. \|i_CTRL-L\| ============================================================================== 4. Initialization initialization startup This section is about the non-GUI version of Vim. See \|gui-fork\| for additional initialization when starting the GUI. At startup, Vim checks environment variables and files and sets values accordingly. Vim proceeds in this order: 1. Set the 'shell' and 'term' option SHELL COMSPEC TERM The environment variable SHELL, if it exists, is used to set the 'shell' option. On Win32, the COMSPEC variable is used if SHELL is not set. The environment variable TERM, if it exists, is used to set the 'term' option. However, 'term' will change later when starting the GUI (step 8 below). 2. Process the arguments The options and file names from the command that start Vim are inspected. Buffers are created for all files (but not loaded yet). The \|-V\| argument can be used to display or log what happens next, useful for debugging the initializations. 3. Execute Ex commands, from environment variables and/or files An environment variable is read as one Ex command line, where multiple commands must be separated with '\|' or "<NL>". vimrc exrc A file that contains initialization commands is called a "vimrc" file. Each line in a vimrc file is executed as an Ex command line. It is sometimes also referred to as "exrc" file. They are the same type of file, but "exrc" is what Vi always used, "vimrc" is a Vim specific name. Also see \|vimrc-intro\|. Places for your personal initializations: Unix $HOME/.vimrc or $HOME/.vim/vimrc MS-Windows $HOME/_vimrc, $HOME/vimfiles/vimrc or $VIM/_vimrc Amiga s:.vimrc, home:.vimrc, home:vimfiles:vimrc or $VIM/.vimrc Haiku $HOME/config/settings/vim/vimrc The files are searched in the order specified above and only the first one that is found is read. RECOMMENDATION: Put all your Vim configuration stuff in the $HOME/.vim/ directory ($HOME/vimfiles/ for MS-Windows). That makes it easy to copy it to another system. If Vim was started with "-u filename", the file "filename" is used. All following initializations until 4. are skipped. $MYVIMRC is not set. "vim -u NORC" can be used to skip these initializations without reading a file. "vim -u NONE" also skips loading plugins. \|-u\| If Vim was started in Ex mode with the "-s" argument, all following initializations until 4. are skipped. Only the "-u" option is interpreted. evim.vim a. If vim was started as \|evim\| or \|eview\| or with the \|-y\| argument, the script $VIMRUNTIME/evim.vim will be loaded. system-vimrc b. For Unix, MS-Windows, VMS, Macintosh and Amiga the system vimrc file is read for initializations. The path of this file is shown with the ":version" command. Mostly it's "$VIM/vimrc". Note that this file is ALWAYS read in 'compatible' mode, since the automatic resetting of 'compatible' is only done later. Add a ":set nocp" command if you like. For the Macintosh the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim is read. VIMINIT .vimrc _vimrc EXINIT .exrc _exrc $MYVIMRC c. Five places are searched for initializations. The first that exists is used, the others are ignored. The $MYVIMRC environment variable is set to the file that was first found, unless $MYVIMRC was already set and when using VIMINIT. I The environment variable VIMINIT (see also \|compatible-default\|) () The value of $VIMINIT is used as an Ex command line. II The user vimrc file(s): "$HOME/.vimrc" (for Unix) () "$HOME/.vim/vimrc" (for Unix) () "s:.vimrc" (for Amiga) () "home:.vimrc" (for Amiga) () "home:vimfiles:vimrc" (for Amiga) () "$VIM/.vimrc" (for Amiga) () "$HOME/_vimrc" (for Win32) () "$HOME/vimfiles/vimrc" (for Win32) () "$VIM/_vimrc" (for Win32) () "$HOME/config/settings/vim/vimrc" (for Haiku) () Note: For Unix and Amiga, when ".vimrc" does not exist, "_vimrc" is also tried, in case an MS-DOS compatible file system is used. For MS-Windows ".vimrc" is checked after "_vimrc", in case long file names are used. Note: For Win32, "$HOME" is checked first. If no "_vimrc" or ".vimrc" is found there, "$VIM" is tried. See \|$VIM\| for when $VIM is not set. III The environment variable EXINIT. The value of $EXINIT is used as an Ex command line. IV The user exrc file(s). Same as for the user vimrc file, but with "vimrc" replaced by "exrc". But only one of ".exrc" and "_exrc" is used, depending on the system. And without the ()! V The default vimrc file, $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim. This sets up options values and has "syntax on" and "filetype on" commands, which is what most new users will want. See \|defaults.vim\|. d. If the 'exrc' option is on (which is NOT the default), the current directory is searched for three files. The first that exists is used, the others are ignored. - The file ".vimrc" (for Unix, Amiga) () "_vimrc" (for Win32) () - The file "_vimrc" (for Unix, Amiga) () ".vimrc" (for Win32) () - The file ".exrc" (for Unix, Amiga) "_exrc" (for Win32) () Using this file or environment variable will cause 'compatible' to be off by default. See \|compatible-default\|. Note: When using the \|mzscheme\| interface, it is initialized after loading the vimrc file. Changing 'mzschemedll' later has no effect. 4. Load the plugin scripts. load-plugins* This does the same as the command: > :runtime! plugin/*/.vim < The result is that all directories in the 'runtimepath' option will be searched for the "plugin" sub-directory and all files ending in ".vim" will be sourced (in alphabetical order per directory), also in subdirectories. However, directories in 'runtimepath' ending in "after" are skipped here and only loaded after packages, see below. Loading plugins won't be done when: - The 'loadplugins' option was reset in a vimrc file. - The \|--noplugin\| command line argument is used. - The \|--clean\| command line argument is used. - The "-u NONE" command line argument is used \|-u\|. - When Vim was compiled without the \|+eval\| feature. Note that using "-c 'set noloadplugins'" doesn't work, because the commands from the command line have not been executed yet. You can use "--cmd 'set noloadplugins'" or "--cmd 'set loadplugins'" \|--cmd\|. Packages are loaded. These are plugins, as above, but found in the "start" directory of each entry in 'packpath'. Every plugin directory found is added in 'runtimepath' and then the plugins are sourced. See \|packages\|. The plugins scripts are loaded, as above, but now only the directories ending in "after" are used. Note that 'runtimepath' will have changed if packages have been found, but that should not add a directory ending in "after". 5. Set 'shellpipe' and 'shellredir' The 'shellpipe' and 'shellredir' options are set according to the value of the 'shell' option, unless they have been set before. This means that Vim will figure out the values of 'shellpipe' and 'shellredir' for you, unless you have set them yourself. 6. Set 'updatecount' to zero, if "-n" command argument used 7. Set binary options If the "-b" flag was given to Vim, the options for binary editing will be set now. See \|-b\|. 8. Perform GUI initializations Only when starting "gvim", the GUI initializations will be done. See \|gui-init\|. 9. Read the viminfo file If the 'viminfo' option is not empty, the viminfo file is read. See \|viminfo-file\|. 10. Read the quickfix file If the "-q" flag was given to Vim, the quickfix file is read. If this fails, Vim exits. 11. Open all windows When the \|-o\| flag was given, windows will be opened (but not displayed yet). When the \|-p\| flag was given, tab pages will be created (but not displayed yet). When switching screens, it happens now. Redrawing starts. If the "-q" flag was given to Vim, the first error is jumped to. Buffers for all windows will be loaded, without triggering \|BufAdd\| autocommands. 12. Execute startup commands If a "-t" flag was given to Vim, the tag is jumped to. The commands given with the \|-c\| and \|+cmd\| arguments are executed. If the 'insertmode' option is set, Insert mode is entered. The starting flag is reset, has("vim_starting") will now return zero. The \|v:vim_did_enter\| variable is set to 1. The \|VimEnter\| autocommands are executed. The $MYVIMRC or $MYGVIMRC file will be set to the first found vimrc and/or gvimrc file. Some hints on using initializations ~ Standard setup: Create a vimrc file to set the default settings and mappings for all your edit sessions. Put it in a place so that it will be found by 3b: ~/.vimrc (Unix) s:.vimrc (Amiga) $VIM\_vimrc (Win32) ~/config/settings/vim/vimrc (Haiku) Note that creating a vimrc file will cause the 'compatible' option to be off by default. See \|compatible-default\|. Local setup: Put all commands that you need for editing a specific directory only into a vimrc file and place it in that directory under the name ".vimrc" ("_vimrc" for Win32). NOTE: To make Vim look for these special files you have to turn on the option 'exrc'. See \|trojan-horse\| too. System setup: This only applies if you are managing a Unix system with several users and want to set the defaults for all users. Create a vimrc file with commands for default settings and mappings and put it in the place that is given with the ":version" command. Saving the current state of Vim to a file ~ Whenever you have changed values of options or when you have created a mapping, then you may want to save them in a vimrc file for later use. See \|save-settings\| about saving the current state of settings to a file. Avoiding setup problems for Vi users ~ Vi uses the variable EXINIT and the file "~/.exrc". So if you do not want to interfere with Vi, then use the variable VIMINIT and the file "vimrc" instead. Amiga environment variables ~ On the Amiga, two types of environment variables exist. The ones set with the DOS 1.3 (or later) setenv command are recognized. See the AmigaDos 1.3 manual. The environment variables set with the old Manx Set command (before version 5.0) are not recognized. MS-Windows line separators ~ On MS-Windows, Vim assumes that all the vimrc files have <CR><NL> pairs as line separators. This will give problems if you have a file with only <NL>s and have a line like ":map xx yy^M". The trailing ^M will be ignored. Vi compatible default value ~ compatible-default When Vim starts, the 'compatible' option is on. This will be used when Vim starts its initializations. But as soon as: - a user vimrc file is found, or - a vimrc file in the current directory is found, or - the "VIMINIT" environment variable is set, or - the "-N" command line argument is given, or - the "--clean" command line argument is given, or - the \|defaults.vim\| script is loaded, or - a gvimrc file was found, then the option will be set to 'nocompatible'. Note that this does NOT happen when a system-wide vimrc file was found. This has the side effect of setting or resetting other options (see 'compatible'). But only the options that have not been set or reset will be changed. This has the same effect like the value of 'compatible' had this value when starting Vim. 'compatible' is NOT reset, and \|defaults.vim\| is not loaded: - when Vim was started with the \|-u\| command line argument, especially with "-u NONE", or - when started with the \|-C\| command line argument, or - when the name of the executable ends in "ex". (This has been done to make Vim behave like "ex", when it is started as "ex") But there is a side effect of setting or resetting 'compatible' at the moment a .vimrc file is found: Mappings are interpreted the moment they are encountered. This makes a difference when using things like "<CR>". If the mappings depend on a certain value of 'compatible', set or reset it before giving the mapping. Defaults without a .vimrc file ~ defaults.vim If Vim is started normally and no user vimrc file is found, the $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim script is loaded. This will set 'compatible' off, switch on syntax highlighting and a few more things. See the script for details. NOTE: this is done since Vim 8.0, not in Vim 7.4. (it was added in patch 7.4.2111 to be exact). This should work well for new Vim users. If you create your own .vimrc, it is recommended to add these lines somewhere near the top: > unlet! skip_defaults_vim source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim Then Vim works like before you had a .vimrc. Copying $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example is way to do this. Alternatively, you can copy defaults.vim to your .vimrc and modify it (but then you won't get updates when it changes). If you don't like some of the defaults, you can still source defaults.vim and revert individual settings. See the defaults.vim file for hints on how to revert each item. skip_defaults_vim If you use a system-wide vimrc and don't want defaults.vim to change settings, set the "skip_defaults_vim" variable. If this was set and you want to load defaults.vim from your .vimrc, first unlet skip_defaults_vim, as in the example above. Avoiding trojan horses ~ trojan-horse While reading the "vimrc" or the "exrc" file in the current directory, some commands can be disabled for security reasons by setting the 'secure' option. This is always done when executing the command from a tags file. Otherwise it would be possible that you accidentally use a vimrc or tags file that somebody else created and contains nasty commands. The disabled commands are the ones that start a shell, the ones that write to a file, and ":autocmd". The ":map" commands are echoed, so you can see which keys are being mapped. If you want Vim to execute all commands in a local vimrc file, you can reset the 'secure' option in the EXINIT or VIMINIT environment variable or in the global "exrc" or "vimrc" file. This is not possible in "vimrc" or "exrc" in the current directory, for obvious reasons. On Unix systems, this only happens if you are not the owner of the vimrc file. Warning: If you unpack an archive that contains a vimrc or exrc file, it will be owned by you. You won't have the security protection. Check the vimrc file before you start Vim in that directory, or reset the 'exrc' option. Some Unix systems allow a user to do "chown" on a file. This makes it possible for another user to create a nasty vimrc and make you the owner. Be careful! When using tag search commands, executing the search command (the last part of the line in the tags file) is always done in secure mode. This works just like executing a command from a vimrc/exrc in the current directory. If Vim startup is slow ~ slow-start If Vim takes a long time to start up, use the \|--startuptime\| argument to find out what happens. There are a few common causes: - If the Unix version was compiled with the GUI and/or X11 (check the output of ":version" for "+GUI" and "+X11"), it may need to load shared libraries and connect to the X11 server. Try compiling a version with GUI and X11 disabled. This also should make the executable smaller. Use the \|-X\| command line argument to avoid connecting to the X server when running in a terminal. - If you have "viminfo" enabled, the loading of the viminfo file may take a while. You can find out if this is the problem by disabling viminfo for a moment (use the Vim argument "-i NONE", \|-i\|). Try reducing the number of lines stored in a register with ":set viminfo='20,<50,s10". \|viminfo-file\|. Intro message ~ :intro When Vim starts without a file name, an introductory message is displayed (for those who don't know what Vim is). It is removed as soon as the display is redrawn in any way. To see the message again, use the ":intro" command (if there is not enough room, you will see only part of it). To avoid the intro message on startup, add the 'I' flag to 'shortmess'. info-message The \|--help\| and \|--version\| arguments cause Vim to print a message and then exit. Normally the message is sent to stdout, thus can be redirected to a file with: > vim --help >file From inside Vim: > :read !vim --help When using gvim, it detects that it might have been started from the desktop, without a terminal to show messages on. This is detected when both stdout and stderr are not a tty. This breaks the ":read" command, as used in the example above. To make it work again, set 'shellredir' to ">" instead of the default ">&": > :set shellredir=> :read !gvim --help This still won't work for systems where gvim does not use stdout at all though. ============================================================================== 5. $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME $VIM The environment variable "$VIM" is used to locate various user files for Vim, such as the user startup script ".vimrc". This depends on the system, see \|startup\|. To avoid the need for every user to set the $VIM environment variable, Vim will try to get the value for $VIM in this order: 1. The value defined by the $VIM environment variable. You can use this to make Vim look in a specific directory for its support files. Example: > setenv VIM /home/paul/vim 2. The path from 'helpfile' is used, unless it contains some environment variable too (the default is "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt": chicken-egg problem). The file name ("help.txt" or any other) is removed. Then trailing directory names are removed, in this order: "doc", "runtime" and "vim{version}" (e.g., "vim82"). 3. For Win32 Vim tries to use the directory name of the executable. If it ends in "/src", this is removed. This is useful if you unpacked the .zip file in some directory, and adjusted the search path to find the vim executable. Trailing directory names are removed, in this order: "runtime" and "vim{version}" (e.g., "vim82"). 4. For Unix the compile-time defined installation directory is used (see the output of ":version"). Once Vim has done this once, it will set the $VIM environment variable. To change it later, use a ":let" command like this: > :let $VIM = "/home/paul/vim/" < $VIMRUNTIME The environment variable "$VIMRUNTIME" is used to locate various support files, such as the on-line documentation and files used for syntax highlighting. For example, the main help file is normally "$VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt". You don't normally set $VIMRUNTIME yourself, but let Vim figure it out. This is the order used to find the value of $VIMRUNTIME: 1. If the environment variable $VIMRUNTIME is set, it is used. You can use this when the runtime files are in an unusual location. 2. If "$VIM/vim{version}" exists, it is used. {version} is the version number of Vim, without any '-' or '.'. For example: "$VIM/vim82". This is the normal value for $VIMRUNTIME. 3. If "$VIM/runtime" exists, it is used. 4. The value of $VIM is used. This is for backwards compatibility with older versions. 5. When the 'helpfile' option is set and doesn't contain a '$', its value is used, with "doc/help.txt" removed from the end. For Unix, when there is a compiled-in default for $VIMRUNTIME (check the output of ":version"), steps 2, 3 and 4 are skipped, and the compiled-in default is used after step 5. This means that the compiled-in default overrules the value of $VIM. This is useful if $VIM is "/etc" and the runtime files are in "/usr/share/vim/vim82". Once Vim has done this once, it will set the $VIMRUNTIME environment variable. To change it later, use a ":let" command like this: > :let $VIMRUNTIME = "/home/piet/vim/vim82" In case you need the value of $VIMRUNTIME in a shell (e.g., for a script that greps in the help files) you might be able to use this: > VIMRUNTIME=`vim -e -T dumb --cmd 'exe "set t_cm=\<C-M>"\|echo $VIMRUNTIME\|quit' \| tr -d '\015' ` Don't set $VIMRUNTIME to an empty value, some things may stop working. ============================================================================== 6. Suspending suspend iconize iconise CTRL-Z v_CTRL-Z CTRL-Z Suspend Vim, like ":stop". Works in Normal and in Visual mode. In Insert and Command-line mode, the CTRL-Z is inserted as a normal character. In Visual mode Vim goes back to Normal mode. Note: if CTRL-Z undoes a change see \|mswin.vim\|. :sus[pend][!] or :sus :suspend :st :stop :st[op][!] Suspend Vim. If the '!' is not given and 'autowrite' is set, every buffer with changes and a file name is written out. If the '!' is given or 'autowrite' is not set, changed buffers are not written, don't forget to bring Vim back to the foreground later! In the GUI, suspending is implemented as iconising gvim. In MS-Windows, gvim is minimized. On many Unix systems, it is possible to suspend Vim with CTRL-Z. This is only possible in Normal and Visual mode (see next chapter, \|vim-modes\|). Vim will continue if you make it the foreground job again. On other systems, CTRL-Z will start a new shell. This is the same as the ":sh" command. Vim will continue if you exit from the shell. In X-windows the selection is disowned when Vim suspends. this means you can't paste it in another application (since Vim is going to sleep an attempt to get the selection would make the program hang). ============================================================================== 7. Exiting exiting There are several ways to exit Vim: - Close the last window with `:quit`. Only when there are no changes. - Close the last window with `:quit!`. Also when there are changes. - Close all windows with `:qall`. Only when there are no changes. - Close all windows with `:qall!`. Also when there are changes. - Use `:cquit`. Also when there are changes. When using `:cquit` or when there was an error message Vim exits with exit code 1. Errors can be avoided by using `:silent!` or with `:catch`. ============================================================================== 8. Saving settings save-settings Mostly you will edit your vimrc files manually. This gives you the greatest flexibility. There are a few commands to generate a vimrc file automatically. You can use these files as they are, or copy/paste lines to include in another vimrc file. :mk :mkexrc :mk[exrc] [file] Write current key mappings and changed options to [file] (default ".exrc" in the current directory), unless it already exists. :mk[exrc]! [file] Always write current key mappings and changed options to [file] (default ".exrc" in the current directory). :mkv :mkvi :mkvimrc :mkv[imrc][!] [file] Like ":mkexrc", but the default is ".vimrc" in the current directory. The ":version" command is also written to the file. These commands will write ":map" and ":set" commands to a file, in such a way that when these commands are executed, the current key mappings and options will be set to the same values. The options 'columns', 'endofline', 'fileformat', 'key', 'lines', 'modified', 'scroll', 'term', 'textmode', 'ttyfast' and 'ttymouse' are not included, because these are terminal or file dependent. Note that the options 'binary', 'paste' and 'readonly' are included, this might not always be what you want. When special keys are used in mappings, The 'cpoptions' option will be temporarily set to its Vim default, to avoid the mappings to be misinterpreted. This makes the file incompatible with Vi, but makes sure it can be used with different terminals. Only global mappings are stored, not mappings local to a buffer. A common method is to use a default ".vimrc" file, make some modifications with ":map" and ":set" commands and write the modified file. First read the default ".vimrc" in with a command like ":source ~piet/.vimrc.Cprogs", change the settings and then save them in the current directory with ":mkvimrc!". If you want to make this file your default .vimrc, move it to your home directory (on Unix), s: (Amiga) or $VIM directory (MS-Windows). You could also use autocommands \|autocommand\| and/or modelines \|modeline\|. vimrc-option-example If you only want to add a single option setting to your vimrc, you can use these steps: 1. Edit your vimrc file with Vim. 2. Play with the option until it's right. E.g., try out different values for 'guifont'. 3. Append a line to set the value of the option, using the expression register '=' to enter the value. E.g., for the 'guifont' option: > o:set guifont=<C-R>=&guifont<CR><Esc> < [<C-R> is a CTRL-R, <CR> is a return, <Esc> is the escape key] You need to escape special characters, esp. spaces. Note that when you create a .vimrc file, this can influence the 'compatible' option, which has several side effects. See \|'compatible'\|. ":mkvimrc", ":mkexrc" and ":mksession" write the command to set or reset the 'compatible' option to the output file first, because of these side effects. ============================================================================== 9. Views and Sessions views-sessions This is introduced in sections \|21.4\| and \|21.5\| of the user manual. View view-file A View is a collection of settings that apply to one window. You can save a View and when you restore it later, the text is displayed in the same way. The options and mappings in this window will also be restored, so that you can continue editing like when the View was saved. Session session-file A Session keeps the Views for all windows, plus the global settings. You can save a Session and when you restore it later the window layout looks the same. You can use a Session to quickly switch between different projects, automatically loading the files you were last working on in that project. Views and Sessions are a nice addition to viminfo-files, which are used to remember information for all Views and Sessions together \|viminfo-file\|. You can quickly start editing with a previously saved View or Session with the \|-S\| argument: > vim -S Session.vim < All this is {not available when compiled without the \|+mksession\| feature}. :mks :mksession :mks[ession][!] [file] Write a Vim script that restores the current editing session. When [!] is included an existing file is overwritten. When [file] is omitted "Session.vim" is used. The output of ":mksession" is like ":mkvimrc", but additional commands are added to the file. Which ones depends on the 'sessionoptions' option. The resulting file, when executed with a ":source" command: 1. Restores global mappings and options, if 'sessionoptions' contains "options". Script-local mappings will not be written. 2. Restores global variables that start with an uppercase letter and contain at least one lowercase letter, if 'sessionoptions' contains "globals". 3. Closes all windows in the current tab page, except the current one; closes all tab pages except the current one (this results in currently loaded buffers to be unloaded, some may become hidden if 'hidden' is set or otherwise specified); wipes out the current buffer, if it is empty and unnamed. 4. Restores the current directory if 'sessionoptions' contains "curdir", or sets the current directory to where the Session file is if 'sessionoptions' contains "sesdir". 5. Restores GUI Vim window position, if 'sessionoptions' contains "winpos". 6. Restores screen size, if 'sessionoptions' contains "resize". 7. Reloads the buffer list, with the last cursor positions. If 'sessionoptions' contains "buffers" then all buffers are restored, including hidden and unloaded buffers. Otherwise only buffers in windows are restored. 8. Restores all windows with the same layout. If 'sessionoptions' contains "help", help windows are restored. If 'sessionoptions' contains "blank", windows editing a buffer without a name will be restored. If 'sessionoptions' contains "winsize" and no (help/blank) windows were left out, the window sizes are restored (relative to the screen size). Otherwise, the windows are just given sensible sizes. 9. Restores the Views for all the windows, as with \|:mkview\|. But 'sessionoptions' is used instead of 'viewoptions'. 10. If a file exists with the same name as the Session file, but ending in "x.vim" (for eXtra), executes that as well. You can use x.vim files to specify additional settings and actions associated with a given Session, such as creating menu items in the GUI version. After restoring the Session, the full filename of your current Session is available in the internal variable "v:this_session" \|this_session-variable\|. An example mapping: > :nmap <F2> :wa<Bar>exe "mksession! " . v:this_session<CR>:so ~/sessions/ This saves the current Session, and starts off the command to load another. A session includes all tab pages, unless "tabpages" was removed from 'sessionoptions'. \|tab-page\| The \|SessionLoadPost\| autocmd event is triggered after a session file is loaded/sourced. SessionLoad-variable* While the session file is loading the SessionLoad global variable is set to 1. Plugins can use this to postpone some work until the SessionLoadPost event is triggered. :mkvie :mkview :mkvie[w][!] [file] Write a Vim script that restores the contents of the current window. When [!] is included an existing file is overwritten. When [file] is omitted or is a number from 1 to 9, a name is generated and 'viewdir' prepended. When the last path part of 'viewdir' does not exist, this directory is created. E.g., when 'viewdir' is "$VIM/vimfiles/view" then "view" is created in "$VIM/vimfiles". An existing file is always overwritten then. Use \|:loadview\| to load this view again. When [file] is the name of a file ('viewdir' is not used), a command to edit the file is added to the generated file. The output of ":mkview" contains these items: 1. The argument list used in the window. When the global argument list is used it is reset to the global list. The index in the argument list is also restored. 2. The file being edited in the window. If there is no file, the window is made empty. 3. Restore mappings, abbreviations and options local to the window if 'viewoptions' contains "options" or "localoptions". For the options it restores only values that are local to the current buffer and values local to the window. When storing the view as part of a session and "options" is in 'sessionoptions', global values for local options will be stored too. 4. Restore folds when using manual folding and 'viewoptions' contains "folds". Restore manually opened and closed folds. 5. The scroll position and the cursor position in the file. Doesn't work very well when there are closed folds. 6. The local current directory, if it is different from the global current directory and 'viewoptions' contains "curdir". Note that Views and Sessions are not perfect: - They don't restore everything. For example, defined functions, autocommands and ":syntax on" are not included. Things like register contents and command line history are in viminfo, not in Sessions or Views. - Global option values are only set when they differ from the default value. When the current value is not the default value, loading a Session will not set it back to the default value. Local options will be set back to the default value though. - Existing mappings will be overwritten without warning. An existing mapping may cause an error for ambiguity. - When storing manual folds and when storing manually opened/closed folds, changes in the file between saving and loading the view will mess it up. - The Vim script is not very efficient. But still faster than typing the commands yourself! :lo :loadview :lo[adview] [nr] Load the view for the current file. When [nr] is omitted, the view stored with ":mkview" is loaded. When [nr] is specified, the view stored with ":mkview [nr]" is loaded. The combination of ":mkview" and ":loadview" can be used to store up to ten different views of a file. These are remembered in the directory specified with the 'viewdir' option. The views are stored using the file name. If a file is renamed or accessed through a (symbolic) link the view will not be found. You might want to clean up your 'viewdir' directory now and then. To automatically save and restore views for .c files: > au BufWinLeave .c mkview au BufWinEnter .c silent loadview ============================================================================== 10. The viminfo file viminfo* viminfo-file E136 E575 E576 E577 If you exit Vim and later start it again, you would normally lose a lot of information. The viminfo file can be used to remember that information, which enables you to continue where you left off. This is introduced in section \|21.3\| of the user manual. The viminfo file is used to store: - The command line history. - The search string history. - The input-line history. - Contents of non-empty registers. - Marks for several files. - File marks, pointing to locations in files. - Last search/substitute pattern (for 'n' and '&'). - The buffer list. - Global variables. The viminfo file is not supported when the \|+viminfo\| feature has been disabled at compile time. You could also use a Session file. The difference is that the viminfo file does not depend on what you are working on. There normally is only one viminfo file. Session files are used to save the state of a specific editing Session. You could have several Session files, one for each project you are working on. Viminfo and Session files together can be used to effectively enter Vim and directly start working in your desired setup. \|session-file\| viminfo-read When Vim is started and the 'viminfo' option is non-empty, the contents of the viminfo file are read and the info can be used in the appropriate places. The \|v:oldfiles\| variable is filled. The marks are not read in at startup (but file marks are). See \|initialization\| for how to set the 'viminfo' option upon startup. viminfo-write When Vim exits and 'viminfo' is non-empty, the info is stored in the viminfo file (it's actually merged with the existing one, if one exists). The 'viminfo' option is a string containing information about what info should be stored, and contains limits on how much should be stored (see 'viminfo'). Merging happens in two ways. Most items that have been changed or set in the current Vim session are stored, and what was not changed is filled from what is currently in the viminfo file. For example: - Vim session A reads the viminfo, which contains variable START. - Vim session B does the same - Vim session A sets the variables AAA and BOTH and exits - Vim session B sets the variables BBB and BOTH and exits Now the viminfo will have: START - it was in the viminfo and wasn't changed in session A or B AAA - value from session A, session B kept it BBB - value from session B BOTH - value from session B, value from session A is lost viminfo-timestamp For some items a timestamp is used to keep the last changed version. Here it doesn't matter in which sequence Vim sessions exit, the newest item(s) are always kept. This is used for: - The command line history. - The search string history. - The input-line history. - Contents of non-empty registers. - The jump list - File marks The timestamp feature was added before Vim 8.0. Older versions of Vim, starting with 7.4.1131, will keep the items with timestamp, but not use them. Thus when using both an older and a newer version of Vim the most recent data will be kept. Notes for Unix: - The file protection for the viminfo file will be set to prevent other users from being able to read it, because it may contain any text or commands that you have worked with. - If you want to share the viminfo file with other users (e.g. when you "su" to another user), you can make the file writable for the group or everybody. Vim will preserve this when replacing the viminfo file. Be careful, don't allow just anybody to read and write your viminfo file! - Vim will not overwrite a viminfo file that is not writable by the current "real" user. This helps for when you did "su" to become root, but your $HOME is still set to a normal user's home directory. Otherwise Vim would create a viminfo file owned by root that nobody else can read. - The viminfo file cannot be a symbolic link. This is to avoid security issues. Marks are stored for each file separately. When a file is read and 'viminfo' is non-empty, the marks for that file are read from the viminfo file. NOTE: The marks are only written when exiting Vim, which is fine because marks are remembered for all the files you have opened in the current editing session, unless ":bdel" is used. If you want to save the marks for a file that you are about to abandon with ":bdel", use ":wv". The '[' and ']' marks are not stored, but the '"' mark is. The '"' mark is very useful for jumping to the cursor position when the file was last exited. No marks are saved for files that start with any string given with the "r" flag in 'viminfo'. This can be used to avoid saving marks for files on removable media (for MS-Windows you would use "ra:,rb:", for Amiga "rdf0:,rdf1:,rdf2:"). The \|v:oldfiles\| variable is filled with the file names that the viminfo file has marks for. viminfo-file-marks Uppercase marks ('A to 'Z) are stored when writing the viminfo file. The numbered marks ('0 to '9) are a bit special. When the viminfo file is written (when exiting or with the ":wviminfo" command), '0 is set to the current cursor position and file. The old '0 is moved to '1, '1 to '2, etc. This resembles what happens with the "1 to "9 delete registers. If the current cursor position is already present in '0 to '9, it is moved to '0, to avoid having the same position twice. The result is that with "'0", you can jump back to the file and line where you exited Vim. To do that right away, try using this command: > vim -c "normal '0" In a csh compatible shell you could make an alias for it: > alias lvim vim -c '"'normal "'"0'"' For a bash-like shell: > alias lvim='vim -c "normal '\''0"' Use the "r" flag in 'viminfo' to specify for which files no marks should be remembered. VIMINFO FILE NAME viminfo-file-name - The default name of the viminfo file is "$HOME/.viminfo" for Unix, "s:.viminfo" for Amiga, "$HOME\_viminfo" for Win32. For Win32, when $HOME is not set, "$VIM\_viminfo" is used. When $VIM is also not set, "c:\_viminfo" is used. - The 'n' flag in the 'viminfo' option can be used to specify another viminfo file name \|'viminfo'\|. - The "-i" Vim argument can be used to set another file name, \|-i\|. When the file name given is "NONE" (all uppercase), no viminfo file is ever read or written. Also not for the commands below! - The 'viminfofile' option can be used like the "-i" argument. In fact, the value form the "-i" argument is stored in the 'viminfofile' option. - For the commands below, another file name can be given, overriding the default and the name given with 'viminfo' or "-i" (unless it's NONE). CHARACTER ENCODING viminfo-encoding The text in the viminfo file is encoded as specified with the 'encoding' option. Normally you will always work with the same 'encoding' value, and this works just fine. However, if you read the viminfo file with another value for 'encoding' than what it was written with, some of the text (non-ASCII characters) may be invalid. If this is unacceptable, add the 'c' flag to the 'viminfo' option: > :set viminfo+=c Vim will then attempt to convert the text in the viminfo file from the 'encoding' value it was written with to the current 'encoding' value. This requires Vim to be compiled with the \|+iconv\| feature. Filenames are not converted. MANUALLY READING AND WRITING viminfo-read-write Two commands can be used to read and write the viminfo file manually. This can be used to exchange registers between two running Vim programs: First type ":wv" in one and then ":rv" in the other. Note that if the register already contained something, then ":rv!" would be required. Also note however that this means everything will be overwritten with information from the first Vim, including the command line history, etc. The viminfo file itself can be edited by hand too, although we suggest you start with an existing one to get the format right. It is reasonably self-explanatory once you're in there. This can be useful in order to create a second file, say "~/.my_viminfo" which could contain certain settings that you always want when you first start Vim. For example, you can preload registers with particular data, or put certain commands in the command line history. A line in your .vimrc file like > :rviminfo! ~/.my_viminfo can be used to load this information. You could even have different viminfos for different types of files (e.g., C code) and load them based on the file name, using the ":autocmd" command (see \|:autocmd\|). viminfo-errors When Vim detects an error while reading a viminfo file, it will not overwrite that file. If there are more than 10 errors, Vim stops reading the viminfo file. This was done to avoid accidentally destroying a file when the file name of the viminfo file is wrong. This could happen when accidentally typing "vim -i file" when you wanted "vim -R file" (yes, somebody accidentally did that!). If you want to overwrite a viminfo file with an error in it, you will either have to fix the error, or delete the file (while Vim is running, so most of the information will be restored). :rv :rviminfo E195 :rv[iminfo][!] [file] Read from viminfo file [file] (default: see \|viminfo-file-name\| above). If [!] is given, then any information that is already set (registers, marks, \|v:oldfiles\|, etc.) will be overwritten :wv :wviminfo E137 E138 E574 E886 E929 :wv[iminfo][!] [file] Write to viminfo file [file] (default: see \|viminfo-file-name\| above). This command has no effect when 'viminfofile' has been set to "NONE". The information in the file is first read in to make a merge between old and new info. When [!] is used, the old information is not read first, only the internal info is written. If 'viminfo' is empty, marks for up to 100 files will be written. When you get error "E929: Too many viminfo temp files" check that no old temp files were left behind (e.g. ~/.viminf) and that you can write in the directory of the .viminfo file. :ol* :oldfiles :ol[dfiles] List the files that have marks stored in the viminfo file. This list is read on startup and only changes afterwards with `:rviminfo!`. Also see \|v:oldfiles\|. The number can be used with \|c_#<\|. The output can be filtered with \|:filter\|, e.g.: > filter /\.vim/ oldfiles < The filtering happens on the file name. {only when compiled with the \|+eval\| feature} :bro[wse] ol[dfiles][!] List file names as with \|:oldfiles\|, and then prompt for a number. When the number is valid that file from the list is edited. If you get the \|press-enter\| prompt you can press "q" and still get the prompt to enter a file number. Use ! to abandon a modified buffer. \|abandon\| {not when compiled with tiny or small features} vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	71.87 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 syntax.txt syntax.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Mar 06 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Syntax highlighting syntax syntax-highlighting coloring Syntax highlighting enables Vim to show parts of the text in another font or color. Those parts can be specific keywords or text matching a pattern. Vim doesn't parse the whole file (to keep it fast), so the highlighting has its limitations. Lexical highlighting might be a better name, but since everybody calls it syntax highlighting we'll stick with that. Vim supports syntax highlighting on all terminals. But since most ordinary terminals have very limited highlighting possibilities, it works best in the GUI version, gvim. In the User Manual: \|usr_06.txt\| introduces syntax highlighting. \|usr_44.txt\| introduces writing a syntax file. 1. Quick start \|:syn-qstart\| 2. Syntax files \|:syn-files\| 3. Syntax loading procedure \|syntax-loading\| 4. Converting to HTML \|2html.vim\| 5. Syntax file remarks \|:syn-file-remarks\| 6. Defining a syntax \|:syn-define\| 7. :syntax arguments \|:syn-arguments\| 8. Syntax patterns \|:syn-pattern\| 9. Syntax clusters \|:syn-cluster\| 10. Including syntax files \|:syn-include\| 11. Synchronizing \|:syn-sync\| 12. Listing syntax items \|:syntax\| 13. Highlight command \|:highlight\| 14. Linking groups \|:highlight-link\| 15. Cleaning up \|:syn-clear\| 16. Highlighting tags \|tag-highlight\| 17. Window-local syntax \|:ownsyntax\| 18. Color xterms \|xterm-color\| 19. When syntax is slow \|:syntime\| {Vi does not have any of these commands} Syntax highlighting is not available when the \|+syntax\| feature has been disabled at compile time. ============================================================================== 1. Quick start :syn-qstart :syn-enable :syntax-enable This command switches on syntax highlighting: > :syntax enable What this command actually does is to execute the command > :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim If the VIM environment variable is not set, Vim will try to find the path in another way (see \|$VIMRUNTIME\|). Usually this works just fine. If it doesn't, try setting the VIM environment variable to the directory where the Vim stuff is located. For example, if your syntax files are in the "/usr/vim/vim82/syntax" directory, set $VIMRUNTIME to "/usr/vim/vim82". You must do this in the shell, before starting Vim. This command also sources the \|menu.vim\| script when the GUI is running or will start soon. See \|'go-M'\| about avoiding that. :syn-on :syntax-on The `:syntax enable` command will keep most of your current color settings. This allows using `:highlight` commands to set your preferred colors before or after using this command. If you want Vim to overrule your settings with the defaults, use: > :syntax on < :hi-normal :highlight-normal If you are running in the GUI, you can get white text on a black background with: > :highlight Normal guibg=Black guifg=White For a color terminal see \|:hi-normal-cterm\|. For setting up your own colors syntax highlighting see \|syncolor\|. NOTE: The syntax files on MS-Windows have lines that end in <CR><NL>. The files for Unix end in <NL>. This means you should use the right type of file for your system. Although on MS-Windows the right format is automatically selected if the 'fileformats' option is not empty. NOTE: When using reverse video ("gvim -fg white -bg black"), the default value of 'background' will not be set until the GUI window is opened, which is after reading the \|gvimrc\|. This will cause the wrong default highlighting to be used. To set the default value of 'background' before switching on highlighting, include the ":gui" command in the \|gvimrc\|: > :gui " open window and set default for 'background' :syntax on " start highlighting, use 'background' to set colors NOTE: Using ":gui" in the \|gvimrc\| means that "gvim -f" won't start in the foreground! Use ":gui -f" then. g:syntax_on You can toggle the syntax on/off with this command: > :if exists("g:syntax_on") \| syntax off \| else \| syntax enable \| endif To put this into a mapping, you can use: > :map <F7> :if exists("g:syntax_on") <Bar> \ syntax off <Bar> \ else <Bar> \ syntax enable <Bar> \ endif <CR> [using the \|<>\| notation, type this literally] Details: The ":syntax" commands are implemented by sourcing a file. To see exactly how this works, look in the file: command file ~ :syntax enable $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim :syntax on $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim :syntax manual $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/manual.vim :syntax off $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/nosyntax.vim Also see \|syntax-loading\|. NOTE: If displaying long lines is slow and switching off syntax highlighting makes it fast, consider setting the 'synmaxcol' option to a lower value. ============================================================================== 2. Syntax files :syn-files The syntax and highlighting commands for one language are normally stored in a syntax file. The name convention is: "{name}.vim". Where {name} is the name of the language, or an abbreviation (to fit the name in 8.3 characters, a requirement in case the file is used on a DOS filesystem). Examples: c.vim perl.vim java.vim html.vim cpp.vim sh.vim csh.vim The syntax file can contain any Ex commands, just like a vimrc file. But the idea is that only commands for a specific language are included. When a language is a superset of another language, it may include the other one, for example, the cpp.vim file could include the c.vim file: > :so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/c.vim The .vim files are normally loaded with an autocommand. For example: > :au Syntax c runtime! syntax/c.vim :au Syntax cpp runtime! syntax/cpp.vim These commands are normally in the file $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/synload.vim. MAKING YOUR OWN SYNTAX FILES mysyntaxfile When you create your own syntax files, and you want to have Vim use these automatically with ":syntax enable", do this: 1. Create your user runtime directory. You would normally use the first item of the 'runtimepath' option. Example for Unix: > mkdir ~/.vim 2. Create a directory in there called "syntax". For Unix: > mkdir ~/.vim/syntax 3. Write the Vim syntax file. Or download one from the internet. Then write it in your syntax directory. For example, for the "mine" syntax: > :w ~/.vim/syntax/mine.vim Now you can start using your syntax file manually: > :set syntax=mine You don't have to exit Vim to use this. If you also want Vim to detect the type of file, see \|new-filetype\|. If you are setting up a system with many users and you don't want each user to add the same syntax file, you can use another directory from 'runtimepath'. ADDING TO AN EXISTING SYNTAX FILE mysyntaxfile-add If you are mostly satisfied with an existing syntax file, but would like to add a few items or change the highlighting, follow these steps: 1. Create your user directory from 'runtimepath', see above. 2. Create a directory in there called "after/syntax". For Unix: > mkdir ~/.vim/after mkdir ~/.vim/after/syntax 3. Write a Vim script that contains the commands you want to use. For example, to change the colors for the C syntax: > highlight cComment ctermfg=Green guifg=Green 4. Write that file in the "after/syntax" directory. Use the name of the syntax, with ".vim" added. For our C syntax: > :w ~/.vim/after/syntax/c.vim That's it. The next time you edit a C file the Comment color will be different. You don't even have to restart Vim. If you have multiple files, you can use the filetype as the directory name. All the ".vim" files in this directory will be used, for example: ~/.vim/after/syntax/c/one.vim ~/.vim/after/syntax/c/two.vim REPLACING AN EXISTING SYNTAX FILE mysyntaxfile-replace* If you don't like a distributed syntax file, or you have downloaded a new version, follow the same steps as for \|mysyntaxfile\| above. Just make sure that you write the syntax file in a directory that is early in 'runtimepath'. Vim will only load the first syntax file found, assuming that it sets b:current_syntax. NAMING CONVENTIONS group-name {group-name} E669 W18 A syntax group name is to be used for syntax items that match the same kind of thing. These are then linked to a highlight group that specifies the color. A syntax group name doesn't specify any color or attributes itself. The name for a highlight or syntax group must consist of ASCII letters, digits and the underscore. As a regexp: "[a-zA-Z0-9_]". However, Vim does not give an error when using other characters. To be able to allow each user to pick their favorite set of colors, there must be preferred names for highlight groups that are common for many languages. These are the suggested group names (if syntax highlighting works properly you can see the actual color, except for "Ignore"): Comment any comment Constant any constant String a string constant: "this is a string" Character a character constant: 'c', '\n' Number a number constant: 234, 0xff Boolean a boolean constant: TRUE, false Float a floating point constant: 2.3e10 Identifier any variable name Function function name (also: methods for classes) Statement any statement Conditional if, then, else, endif, switch, etc. Repeat for, do, while, etc. Label case, default, etc. Operator "sizeof", "+", "", etc. Keyword any other keyword Exception try, catch, throw PreProc generic Preprocessor Include preprocessor #include Define preprocessor #define Macro same as Define PreCondit preprocessor #if, #else, #endif, etc. Type int, long, char, etc. StorageClass static, register, volatile, etc. Structure struct, union, enum, etc. Typedef A typedef Special any special symbol SpecialChar special character in a constant Tag you can use CTRL-] on this Delimiter character that needs attention SpecialComment special things inside a comment Debug debugging statements Underlined text that stands out, HTML links Ignore left blank, hidden \|hl-Ignore\| Error any erroneous construct Todo anything that needs extra attention; mostly the keywords TODO FIXME and XXX The names marked with are the preferred groups; the others are minor groups. For the preferred groups, the "syntax.vim" file contains default highlighting. The minor groups are linked to the preferred groups, so they get the same highlighting. You can override these defaults by using ":highlight" commands after sourcing the "syntax.vim" file. Note that highlight group names are not case sensitive. "String" and "string" can be used for the same group. The following names are reserved and cannot be used as a group name: NONE ALL ALLBUT contains contained hl-Ignore When using the Ignore group, you may also consider using the conceal mechanism. See \|conceal\|. ============================================================================== 3. Syntax loading procedure syntax-loading This explains the details that happen when the command ":syntax enable" is issued. When Vim initializes itself, it finds out where the runtime files are located. This is used here as the variable \|$VIMRUNTIME\|. ":syntax enable" and ":syntax on" do the following: Source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim \| +- Clear out any old syntax by sourcing $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/nosyntax.vim \| +- Source first syntax/synload.vim in 'runtimepath' \| \| \| +- Setup the colors for syntax highlighting. If a color scheme is \| \| defined it is loaded again with ":colors {name}". Otherwise \| \| ":runtime! syntax/syncolor.vim" is used. ":syntax on" overrules \| \| existing colors, ":syntax enable" only sets groups that weren't \| \| set yet. \| \| \| +- Set up syntax autocmds to load the appropriate syntax file when \| \| the 'syntax' option is set. synload-1 \| \| \| +- Source the user's optional file, from the \|mysyntaxfile\| variable. \| This is for backwards compatibility with Vim 5.x only. synload-2 \| +- Do ":filetype on", which does ":runtime! filetype.vim". It loads any \| filetype.vim files found. It should always Source \| $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim, which does the following. \| \| \| +- Install autocmds based on suffix to set the 'filetype' option \| \| This is where the connection between file name and file type is \| \| made for known file types. synload-3 \| \| \| +- Source the user's optional file, from the myfiletypefile \| \| variable. This is for backwards compatibility with Vim 5.x only. \| \| synload-4 \| \| \| +- Install one autocommand which sources scripts.vim when no file \| \| type was detected yet. synload-5 \| \| \| +- Source $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim, to setup the Syntax menu. \|menu.vim\| \| +- Install a FileType autocommand to set the 'syntax' option when a file \| type has been detected. synload-6 \| +- Execute syntax autocommands to start syntax highlighting for each already loaded buffer. Upon loading a file, Vim finds the relevant syntax file as follows: Loading the file triggers the BufReadPost autocommands. \| +- If there is a match with one of the autocommands from \|synload-3\| \| (known file types) or \|synload-4\| (user's file types), the 'filetype' \| option is set to the file type. \| +- The autocommand at \|synload-5\| is triggered. If the file type was not \| found yet, then scripts.vim is searched for in 'runtimepath'. This \| should always load $VIMRUNTIME/scripts.vim, which does the following. \| \| \| +- Source the user's optional file, from the myscriptsfile \| \| variable. This is for backwards compatibility with Vim 5.x only. \| \| \| +- If the file type is still unknown, check the contents of the file, \| again with checks like "getline(1) =~ pattern" as to whether the \| file type can be recognized, and set 'filetype'. \| +- When the file type was determined and 'filetype' was set, this \| triggers the FileType autocommand \|synload-6\| above. It sets \| 'syntax' to the determined file type. \| +- When the 'syntax' option was set above, this triggers an autocommand \| from \|synload-1\| (and \|synload-2\|). This find the main syntax file in \| 'runtimepath', with this command: \| runtime! syntax/<name>.vim \| +- Any other user installed FileType or Syntax autocommands are triggered. This can be used to change the highlighting for a specific syntax. ============================================================================== 4. Conversion to HTML 2html.vim convert-to-HTML 2html is not a syntax file itself, but a script that converts the current window into HTML. Vim opens a new window in which it builds the HTML file. After you save the resulting file, you can view it with any browser. The colors should be exactly the same as you see them in Vim. With \|g:html_line_ids\| you can jump to specific lines by adding (for example) #L123 or #123 to the end of the URL in your browser's address bar. And with \|g:html_dynamic_folds\| enabled, you can show or hide the text that is folded in Vim. You are not supposed to set the 'filetype' or 'syntax' option to "2html"! Source the script to convert the current file: > :runtime! syntax/2html.vim < Many variables affect the output of 2html.vim; see below. Any of the on/off options listed below can be enabled or disabled by setting them explicitly to the desired value, or restored to their default by removing the variable using \|:unlet\|. Remarks: - Some truly ancient browsers may not show the background colors. - From most browsers you can also print the file (in color)! - The latest TOhtml may actually work with older versions of Vim, but some features such as conceal support will not function, and the colors may be incorrect for an old Vim without GUI support compiled in. Here is an example how to run the script over all .c and .h files from a Unix shell: > for f in .[ch]; do gvim -f +"syn on" +"run! syntax/2html.vim" +"wq" +"q" $f; done < g:html_start_line* g:html_end_line To restrict the conversion to a range of lines, use a range with the \|:TOhtml\| command below, or set "g:html_start_line" and "g:html_end_line" to the first and last line to be converted. Example, using the last set Visual area: > :let g:html_start_line = line("'<") :let g:html_end_line = line("'>") :runtime! syntax/2html.vim < :TOhtml :[range]TOhtml The ":TOhtml" command is defined in a standard plugin. This command will source \|2html.vim\| for you. When a range is given, this command sets \|g:html_start_line\| and \|g:html_end_line\| to the start and end of the range, respectively. Default range is the entire buffer. If the current window is part of a \|diff\|, unless \|g:html_diff_one_file\| is set, :TOhtml will convert all windows which are part of the diff in the current tab and place them side-by-side in a <table> element in the generated HTML. With \|g:html_line_ids\| you can jump to lines in specific windows with (for example) #W1L42 for line 42 in the first diffed window, or #W3L87 for line 87 in the third. Examples: > :10,40TOhtml " convert lines 10-40 to html :'<,'>TOhtml " convert current/last visual selection :TOhtml " convert entire buffer < g:html_diff_one_file Default: 0. When 0, and using \|:TOhtml\| all windows involved in a \|diff\| in the current tab page are converted to HTML and placed side-by-side in a <table> element. When 1, only the current buffer is converted. Example: > let g:html_diff_one_file = 1 < g:html_whole_filler Default: 0. When 0, if \|g:html_diff_one_file\| is 1, a sequence of more than 3 filler lines is displayed as three lines with the middle line mentioning the total number of inserted lines. When 1, always display all inserted lines as if \|g:html_diff_one_file\| were not set. > :let g:html_whole_filler = 1 < TOhtml-performance g:html_no_progress Default: 0. When 0, display a progress bar in the statusline for each major step in the 2html.vim conversion process. When 1, do not display the progress bar. This offers a minor speed improvement but you won't have any idea how much longer the conversion might take; for big files it can take a long time! Example: > let g:html_no_progress = 1 < You can obtain better performance improvements by also instructing Vim to not run interactively, so that too much time is not taken to redraw as the script moves through the buffer, switches windows, and the like: > vim -E -s -c "let g:html_no_progress=1" -c "syntax on" -c "set ft=c" -c "runtime syntax/2html.vim" -cwqa myfile.c < Note that the -s flag prevents loading your .vimrc and any plugins, so you need to explicitly source/enable anything that will affect the HTML conversion. See \|-E\| and \|-s-ex\| for details. It is probably best to create a script to replace all the -c commands and use it with the -u flag instead of specifying each command separately. hl-TOhtmlProgress TOhtml-progress-color When displayed, the progress bar will show colored boxes along the statusline as the HTML conversion proceeds. By default, the background color as the current "DiffDelete" highlight group is used. If "DiffDelete" and "StatusLine" have the same background color, TOhtml will automatically adjust the color to differ. If you do not like the automatically selected colors, you can define your own highlight colors for the progress bar. Example: > hi TOhtmlProgress guifg=#c0ffee ctermbg=7 < g:html_number_lines Default: current 'number' setting. When 0, buffer text is displayed in the generated HTML without line numbering. When 1, a column of line numbers is added to the generated HTML with the same highlighting as the line number column in Vim (\|hl-LineNr\|). Force line numbers even if 'number' is not set: > :let g:html_number_lines = 1 Force to omit the line numbers: > :let g:html_number_lines = 0 Go back to the default to use 'number' by deleting the variable: > :unlet g:html_number_lines < g:html_line_ids Default: 1 if \|g:html_number_lines\| is set, 0 otherwise. When 1, adds an HTML id attribute to each line number, or to an empty <span> inserted for that purpose if no line numbers are shown. This ID attribute takes the form of L123 for single-buffer HTML pages, or W2L123 for diff-view pages, and is used to jump to a specific line (in a specific window of a diff view). Javascript is inserted to open any closed dynamic folds (\|g:html_dynamic_folds\|) containing the specified line before jumping. The javascript also allows omitting the window ID in the url, and the leading L. For example: > page.html#L123 jumps to line 123 in a single-buffer file page.html#123 does the same diff.html#W1L42 jumps to line 42 in the first window in a diff diff.html#42 does the same < g:html_use_css Default: 1. When 1, generate valid HTML 5 markup with CSS styling, supported in all modern browsers and many old browsers. When 0, generate <font> tags and similar outdated markup. This is not recommended but it may work better in really old browsers, email clients, forum posts, and similar situations where basic CSS support is unavailable. Example: > :let g:html_use_css = 0 < g:html_ignore_conceal Default: 0. When 0, concealed text is removed from the HTML and replaced with a character from \|:syn-cchar\| or 'listchars' as appropriate, depending on the current value of 'conceallevel'. When 1, include all text from the buffer in the generated HTML, even if it is \|conceal\|ed. Either of the following commands will ensure that all text in the buffer is included in the generated HTML (unless it is folded): > :let g:html_ignore_conceal = 1 :setl conceallevel=0 < g:html_ignore_folding Default: 0. When 0, text in a closed fold is replaced by the text shown for the fold in Vim (\|fold-foldtext\|). See \|g:html_dynamic_folds\| if you also want to allow the user to expand the fold as in Vim to see the text inside. When 1, include all text from the buffer in the generated HTML; whether the text is in a fold has no impact at all. \|g:html_dynamic_folds\| has no effect. Either of these commands will ensure that all text in the buffer is included in the generated HTML (unless it is concealed): > zR :let g:html_ignore_folding = 1 < g:html_dynamic_folds Default: 0. When 0, text in a closed fold is not included at all in the generated HTML. When 1, generate javascript to open a fold and show the text within, just like in Vim. Setting this variable to 1 causes 2html.vim to always use CSS for styling, regardless of what \|g:html_use_css\| is set to. This variable is ignored when \|g:html_ignore_folding\| is set. > :let g:html_dynamic_folds = 1 < g:html_no_foldcolumn Default: 0. When 0, if \|g:html_dynamic_folds\| is 1, generate a column of text similar to Vim's foldcolumn (\|fold-foldcolumn\|) the user can click on to toggle folds open or closed. The minimum width of the generated text column is the current 'foldcolumn' setting. When 1, do not generate this column; instead, hovering the mouse cursor over folded text will open the fold as if \|g:html_hover_unfold\| were set. > :let g:html_no_foldcolumn = 1 < TOhtml-uncopyable-text g:html_prevent_copy Default: empty string. This option prevents certain regions of the generated HTML from being copied, when you select all text in document rendered in a browser and copy it. Useful for allowing users to copy-paste only the source text even if a fold column or line numbers are shown in the generated content. Specify regions to be affected in this way as follows: f: fold column n: line numbers (also within fold text) t: fold text d: diff filler Example, to make the fold column and line numbers uncopyable: > :let g:html_prevent_copy = "fn" < The method used to prevent copying in the generated page depends on the value of \|g:html_use_input_for_pc\|. g:html_use_input_for_pc Default: "fallback" If \|g:html_prevent_copy\| is non-empty, then: When "all", read-only <input> elements are used in place of normal text for uncopyable regions. In some browsers, especially older browsers, after selecting an entire page and copying the selection, the <input> tags are not pasted with the page text. If \|g:html_no_invalid\| is 0, the <input> tags have invalid type; this works in more browsers, but the page will not validate. Note: this method does NOT work in recent versions of Chrome and equivalent browsers; the <input> tags get pasted with the text. When "fallback" (default value), the same <input> elements are generated for older browsers, but newer browsers (detected by CSS feature query) hide the <input> elements and instead use generated content in an ::before pseudoelement to display the uncopyable text. This method should work with the largest number of browsers, both old and new. When "none", the <input> elements are not generated at all. Only the generated-content method is used. This means that old browsers, notably Internet Explorer, will either copy the text intended not to be copyable, or the non-copyable text may not appear at all. However, this is the most standards-based method, and there will be much less markup. g:html_no_invalid Default: 0. When 0, if \|g:html_prevent_copy\| is non-empty and \|g:html_use_input_for_pc\| is not "none", an invalid attribute is intentionally inserted into the <input> element for the uncopyable areas. This prevents pasting the <input> elements in some applications. Specifically, some versions of Microsoft Word will not paste the <input> elements if they contain this invalid attribute. When 1, no invalid markup is inserted, and the generated page should validate. However, <input> elements may be pasted into some applications and can be difficult to remove afterward. g:html_hover_unfold Default: 0. When 0, the only way to open a fold generated by 2html.vim with \|g:html_dynamic_folds\| set, is to click on the generated fold column. When 1, use CSS 2.0 to allow the user to open a fold by moving the mouse cursor over the displayed fold text. This is useful to allow users with disabled javascript to view the folded text. Note that old browsers (notably Internet Explorer 6) will not support this feature. Browser-specific markup for IE6 is included to fall back to the normal CSS1 styling so that the folds show up correctly for this browser, but they will not be openable without a foldcolumn. > :let g:html_hover_unfold = 1 < g:html_id_expr Default: "" Dynamic folding and jumping to line IDs rely on unique IDs within the document to work. If generated HTML is copied into a larger document, these IDs are no longer guaranteed to be unique. Set g:html_id_expr to an expression Vim can evaluate to get a unique string to append to each ID used in a given document, so that the full IDs will be unique even when combined with other content in a larger HTML document. Example, to append _ and the buffer number to each ID: > :let g:html_id_expr = '"_".bufnr("%")' < To append a string "_mystring" to the end of each ID: > :let g:html_id_expr = '"_mystring"' < Note, when converting a diff view to HTML, the expression will only be evaluated for the first window in the diff, and the result used for all the windows. TOhtml-wrap-text g:html_pre_wrap Default: current 'wrap' setting. When 0, if \|g:html_no_pre\| is 0 or unset, the text in the generated HTML does not wrap at the edge of the browser window. When 1, if \|g:html_use_css\| is 1, the CSS 2.0 "white-space:pre-wrap" value is used, causing the text to wrap at whitespace at the edge of the browser window. Explicitly enable text wrapping: > :let g:html_pre_wrap = 1 Explicitly disable wrapping: > :let g:html_pre_wrap = 0 Go back to default, determine wrapping from 'wrap' setting: > :unlet g:html_pre_wrap < g:html_no_pre Default: 0. When 0, buffer text in the generated HTML is surrounded by <pre>...</pre> tags. Series of whitespace is shown as in Vim without special markup, and tab characters can be included literally (see \|g:html_expand_tabs\|). When 1 (not recommended), the <pre> tags are omitted, and a plain <div> is used instead. Whitespace is replaced by a series of   character references, and <br> is used to end each line. This is another way to allow text in the generated HTML is wrap (see \|g:html_pre_wrap\|) which also works in old browsers, but may cause noticeable differences between Vim's display and the rendered page generated by 2html.vim. > :let g:html_no_pre = 1 < g:html_expand_tabs Default: 0 if 'tabstop' is 8, 'expandtab' is 0, 'vartabstop' is not in use, and no fold column or line numbers occur in the generated HTML; 1 otherwise. When 1, <Tab> characters in the buffer text are replaced with an appropriate number of space characters, or   references if \|g:html_no_pre\| is 1. When 0, if \|g:html_no_pre\| is 0 or unset, <Tab> characters in the buffer text are included as-is in the generated HTML. This is useful for when you want to allow copy and paste from a browser without losing the actual whitespace in the source document. Note that this can easily break text alignment and indentation in the HTML, unless set by default. Force \|2html.vim\| to keep <Tab> characters: > :let g:html_expand_tabs = 0 < Force tabs to be expanded: > :let g:html_expand_tabs = 1 < TOhtml-encoding-detect TOhtml-encoding It is highly recommended to set your desired encoding with \|g:html_use_encoding\| for any content which will be placed on a web server. If you do not specify an encoding, \|2html.vim\| uses the preferred IANA name for the current value of 'fileencoding' if set, or 'encoding' if not. 'encoding' is always used for certain 'buftype' values. 'fileencoding' will be set to match the chosen document encoding. Automatic detection works for the encodings mentioned specifically by name in \|encoding-names\|, but TOhtml will only automatically use those encodings with wide browser support. However, you can override this to support specific encodings that may not be automatically detected by default (see options below). See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets for the IANA names. Note, by default all Unicode encodings are converted to UTF-8 with no BOM in the generated HTML, as recommended by W3C: http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-choosing-encodings http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-byte-order-mark g:html_use_encoding Default: none, uses IANA name for current 'fileencoding' as above. To overrule all automatic charset detection, set g:html_use_encoding to the name of the charset to be used. It is recommended to set this variable to something widely supported, like UTF-8, for anything you will be hosting on a webserver: > :let g:html_use_encoding = "UTF-8" You can also use this option to omit the line that specifies the charset entirely, by setting g:html_use_encoding to an empty string (NOT recommended): > :let g:html_use_encoding = "" To go back to the automatic mechanism, delete the \|g:html_use_encoding\| variable: > :unlet g:html_use_encoding < g:html_encoding_override Default: none, autoload/tohtml.vim contains default conversions for encodings mentioned by name at \|encoding-names\|. This option allows \|2html.vim\| to detect the correct 'fileencoding' when you specify an encoding with \|g:html_use_encoding\| which is not in the default list of conversions. This is a dictionary of charset-encoding pairs that will replace existing pairs automatically detected by TOhtml, or supplement with new pairs. Detect the HTML charset "windows-1252" as the encoding "8bit-cp1252": > :let g:html_encoding_override = {'windows-1252': '8bit-cp1252'} < g:html_charset_override Default: none, autoload/tohtml.vim contains default conversions for encodings mentioned by name at \|encoding-names\| and which have wide browser support. This option allows \|2html.vim\| to detect the HTML charset for any 'fileencoding' or 'encoding' which is not detected automatically. You can also use it to override specific existing encoding-charset pairs. For example, TOhtml will by default use UTF-8 for all Unicode/UCS encodings. To use UTF-16 and UTF-32 instead, use: > :let g:html_charset_override = {'ucs-4': 'UTF-32', 'utf-16': 'UTF-16'} Note that documents encoded in either UTF-32 or UTF-16 have known compatibility problems with some major browsers. g:html_font Default: "monospace" You can specify the font or fonts used in the converted document using g:html_font. If this option is set to a string, then the value will be surrounded with single quotes. If this option is set to a list then each list item is surrounded by single quotes and the list is joined with commas. Either way, "monospace" is added as the fallback generic family name and the entire result used as the font family (using CSS) or font face (if not using CSS). Examples: > " font-family: 'Consolas', monospace; :let g:html_font = "Consolas" " font-family: 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Consolas', monospace; :let g:html_font = ["DejaVu Sans Mono", "Consolas"] < convert-to-XML convert-to-XHTML g:html_use_xhtml Default: 0. When 0, generate standard HTML 4.01 (strict when possible). When 1, generate XHTML 1.0 instead (XML compliant HTML). > :let g:html_use_xhtml = 1 < ============================================================================== 5. Syntax file remarks :syn-file-remarks b:current_syntax-variable Vim stores the name of the syntax that has been loaded in the "b:current_syntax" variable. You can use this if you want to load other settings, depending on which syntax is active. Example: > :au BufReadPost * if b:current_syntax == "csh" :au BufReadPost * do-some-things :au BufReadPost * endif ABEL abel.vim ft-abel-syntax ABEL highlighting provides some user-defined options. To enable them, assign any value to the respective variable. Example: > :let abel_obsolete_ok=1 To disable them use ":unlet". Example: > :unlet abel_obsolete_ok Variable Highlight ~ abel_obsolete_ok obsolete keywords are statements, not errors abel_cpp_comments_illegal do not interpret '//' as inline comment leader ADA See \|ft-ada-syntax\| ANT ant.vim ft-ant-syntax The ant syntax file provides syntax highlighting for javascript and python by default. Syntax highlighting for other script languages can be installed by the function AntSyntaxScript(), which takes the tag name as first argument and the script syntax file name as second argument. Example: > :call AntSyntaxScript('perl', 'perl.vim') will install syntax perl highlighting for the following ant code > <script language = 'perl'><![CDATA[ # everything inside is highlighted as perl ]]></script> See \|mysyntaxfile-add\| for installing script languages permanently. APACHE apache.vim ft-apache-syntax The apache syntax file provides syntax highlighting for Apache HTTP server version 2.2.3. asm.vim asmh8300.vim nasm.vim masm.vim asm68k ASSEMBLY ft-asm-syntax ft-asmh8300-syntax ft-nasm-syntax ft-masm-syntax ft-asm68k-syntax fasm.vim Files matching ".i" could be Progress or Assembly. If the automatic detection doesn't work for you, or you don't edit Progress at all, use this in your startup vimrc: > :let filetype_i = "asm" Replace "asm" with the type of assembly you use. There are many types of assembly languages that all use the same file name extensions. Therefore you will have to select the type yourself, or add a line in the assembly file that Vim will recognize. Currently these syntax files are included: asm GNU assembly (the default) asm68k Motorola 680x0 assembly asmh8300 Hitachi H-8300 version of GNU assembly ia64 Intel Itanium 64 fasm Flat assembly (http://flatassembler.net) masm Microsoft assembly (probably works for any 80x86) nasm Netwide assembly tasm Turbo Assembly (with opcodes 80x86 up to Pentium, and MMX) pic PIC assembly (currently for PIC16F84) The most flexible is to add a line in your assembly file containing: > asmsyntax=nasm Replace "nasm" with the name of the real assembly syntax. This line must be one of the first five lines in the file. No non-white text must be immediately before or after this text. Note that specifying asmsyntax=foo is equivalent to setting ft=foo in a \|modeline\|, and that in case of a conflict between the two settings the one from the modeline will take precedence (in particular, if you have ft=asm in the modeline, you will get the GNU syntax highlighting regardless of what is specified as asmsyntax). The syntax type can always be overruled for a specific buffer by setting the b:asmsyntax variable: > :let b:asmsyntax = "nasm" If b:asmsyntax is not set, either automatically or by hand, then the value of the global variable asmsyntax is used. This can be seen as a default assembly language: > :let asmsyntax = "nasm" As a last resort, if nothing is defined, the "asm" syntax is used. Netwide assembler (nasm.vim) optional highlighting ~ To enable a feature: > :let {variable}=1\|set syntax=nasm To disable a feature: > :unlet {variable} \|set syntax=nasm Variable Highlight ~ nasm_loose_syntax unofficial parser allowed syntax not as Error (parser dependent; not recommended) nasm_ctx_outside_macro contexts outside macro not as Error nasm_no_warn potentially risky syntax not as ToDo ASPPERL and ASPVBS ft-aspperl-syntax* ft-aspvbs-syntax .asp and .asa files could be either Perl or Visual Basic script. Since it's hard to detect this you can set two global variables to tell Vim what you are using. For Perl script use: > :let g:filetype_asa = "aspperl" :let g:filetype_asp = "aspperl" For Visual Basic use: > :let g:filetype_asa = "aspvbs" :let g:filetype_asp = "aspvbs" BAAN baan.vim baan-syntax The baan.vim gives syntax support for BaanC of release BaanIV upto SSA ERP LN for both 3 GL and 4 GL programming. Large number of standard defines/constants are supported. Some special violation of coding standards will be signalled when one specify in ones \|.vimrc\|: > let baan_code_stds=1 baan-folding Syntax folding can be enabled at various levels through the variables mentioned below (Set those in your \|.vimrc\|). The more complex folding on source blocks and SQL can be CPU intensive. To allow any folding and enable folding at function level use: > let baan_fold=1 Folding can be enabled at source block level as if, while, for ,... The indentation preceding the begin/end keywords has to match (spaces are not considered equal to a tab). > let baan_fold_block=1 Folding can be enabled for embedded SQL blocks as SELECT, SELECTDO, SELECTEMPTY, ... The indentation preceding the begin/end keywords has to match (spaces are not considered equal to a tab). > let baan_fold_sql=1 Note: Block folding can result in many small folds. It is suggested to \|:set\| the options 'foldminlines' and 'foldnestmax' in \|.vimrc\| or use \|:setlocal\| in .../after/syntax/baan.vim (see \|after-directory\|). Eg: > set foldminlines=5 set foldnestmax=6 BASIC basic.vim vb.vim ft-basic-syntax ft-vb-syntax Both Visual Basic and "normal" basic use the extension ".bas". To detect which one should be used, Vim checks for the string "VB_Name" in the first five lines of the file. If it is not found, filetype will be "basic", otherwise "vb". Files with the ".frm" extension will always be seen as Visual Basic. C c.vim ft-c-syntax A few things in C highlighting are optional. To enable them assign any value (including zero) to the respective variable. Example: > :let c_comment_strings = 1 :let c_no_bracket_error = 0 To disable them use `:unlet`. Example: > :unlet c_comment_strings Setting the value to zero doesn't work! An alternative is to switch to the C++ highlighting: > :set filetype=cpp Variable Highlight ~ c_gnu GNU gcc specific items c_comment_strings strings and numbers inside a comment c_space_errors trailing white space and spaces before a <Tab> c_no_trail_space_error ... but no trailing spaces c_no_tab_space_error ... but no spaces before a <Tab> c_no_bracket_error don't highlight {}; inside [] as errors c_no_curly_error don't highlight {}; inside [] and () as errors; except { and } in first column Default is to highlight them, otherwise you can't spot a missing ")". c_curly_error highlight a missing } by finding all pairs; this forces syncing from the start of the file, can be slow c_no_ansi don't do standard ANSI types and constants c_ansi_typedefs ... but do standard ANSI types c_ansi_constants ... but do standard ANSI constants c_no_utf don't highlight \u and \U in strings c_syntax_for_h for .h files use C syntax instead of C++ and use objc syntax instead of objcpp c_no_if0* don't highlight "#if 0" blocks as comments c_no_cformat don't highlight %-formats in strings c_no_c99 don't highlight C99 standard items c_no_c11 don't highlight C11 standard items c_no_bsd don't highlight BSD specific types When 'foldmethod' is set to "syntax" then /* / comments and { } blocks will become a fold. If you don't want comments to become a fold use: > :let c_no_comment_fold = 1 "#if 0" blocks are also folded, unless: > :let c_no_if0_fold = 1 If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "c_minlines" internal variable to a larger number: > :let c_minlines = 100 This will make the syntax synchronization start 100 lines before the first displayed line. The default value is 50 (15 when c_no_if0 is set). The disadvantage of using a larger number is that redrawing can become slow. When using the "#if 0" / "#endif" comment highlighting, notice that this only works when the "#if 0" is within "c_minlines" from the top of the window. If you have a long "#if 0" construct it will not be highlighted correctly. To match extra items in comments, use the cCommentGroup cluster. Example: > :au Syntax c call MyCadd() :function MyCadd() : syn keyword cMyItem contained Ni : syn cluster cCommentGroup add=cMyItem : hi link cMyItem Title :endfun ANSI constants will be highlighted with the "cConstant" group. This includes "NULL", "SIG_IGN" and others. But not "TRUE", for example, because this is not in the ANSI standard. If you find this confusing, remove the cConstant highlighting: > :hi link cConstant NONE If you see '{' and '}' highlighted as an error where they are OK, reset the highlighting for cErrInParen and cErrInBracket. If you want to use folding in your C files, you can add these lines in a file in the "after" directory in 'runtimepath'. For Unix this would be ~/.vim/after/syntax/c.vim. > syn sync fromstart set foldmethod=syntax CH ch.vim* ft-ch-syntax C/C++ interpreter. Ch has similar syntax highlighting to C and builds upon the C syntax file. See \|c.vim\| for all the settings that are available for C. By setting a variable you can tell Vim to use Ch syntax for .h files, instead of C or C++: > :let ch_syntax_for_h = 1 CHILL chill.vim* ft-chill-syntax Chill syntax highlighting is similar to C. See \|c.vim\| for all the settings that are available. Additionally there is: chill_space_errors like c_space_errors chill_comment_string like c_comment_strings chill_minlines like c_minlines CHANGELOG changelog.vim ft-changelog-syntax ChangeLog supports highlighting spaces at the start of a line. If you do not like this, add following line to your .vimrc: > let g:changelog_spacing_errors = 0 This works the next time you edit a changelog file. You can also use "b:changelog_spacing_errors" to set this per buffer (before loading the syntax file). You can change the highlighting used, e.g., to flag the spaces as an error: > :hi link ChangelogError Error Or to avoid the highlighting: > :hi link ChangelogError NONE This works immediately. CLOJURE ft-clojure-syntax The default syntax groups can be augmented through the g:clojure_syntax_keywords and b:clojure_syntax_keywords variables. The value should be a \|Dictionary\| of syntax group names to a \|List\| of custom identifiers: > let g:clojure_syntax_keywords = { \ 'clojureMacro': ["defproject", "defcustom"], \ 'clojureFunc': ["string/join", "string/replace"] \ } < Refer to the Clojure syntax script for valid syntax group names. If the \|buffer-variable\| b:clojure_syntax_without_core_keywords is set, only language constants and special forms are matched. Setting g:clojure_fold enables folding Clojure code via the syntax engine. Any list, vector, or map that extends over more than one line can be folded using the standard Vim \|fold-commands\|. Please note that this option does not work with scripts that redefine the bracket syntax regions, such as rainbow-parentheses plugins. This option is off by default. > " Default let g:clojure_fold = 0 < COBOL cobol.vim ft-cobol-syntax COBOL highlighting has different needs for legacy code than it does for fresh development. This is due to differences in what is being done (maintenance versus development) and other factors. To enable legacy code highlighting, add this line to your .vimrc: > :let cobol_legacy_code = 1 To disable it again, use this: > :unlet cobol_legacy_code COLD FUSION coldfusion.vim ft-coldfusion-syntax The ColdFusion has its own version of HTML comments. To turn on ColdFusion comment highlighting, add the following line to your startup file: > :let html_wrong_comments = 1 The ColdFusion syntax file is based on the HTML syntax file. CPP cpp.vim ft-cpp-syntax Most of things are same as \|ft-c-syntax\|. Variable Highlight ~ cpp_no_cpp11 don't highlight C++11 standard items cpp_no_cpp14 don't highlight C++14 standard items CSH csh.vim ft-csh-syntax This covers the shell named "csh". Note that on some systems tcsh is actually used. Detecting whether a file is csh or tcsh is notoriously hard. Some systems symlink /bin/csh to /bin/tcsh, making it almost impossible to distinguish between csh and tcsh. In case VIM guesses wrong you can set the "filetype_csh" variable. For using csh: g:filetype_csh > :let g:filetype_csh = "csh" For using tcsh: > :let g:filetype_csh = "tcsh" Any script with a tcsh extension or a standard tcsh filename (.tcshrc, tcsh.tcshrc, tcsh.login) will have filetype tcsh. All other tcsh/csh scripts will be classified as tcsh, UNLESS the "filetype_csh" variable exists. If the "filetype_csh" variable exists, the filetype will be set to the value of the variable. CYNLIB cynlib.vim ft-cynlib-syntax Cynlib files are C++ files that use the Cynlib class library to enable hardware modelling and simulation using C++. Typically Cynlib files have a .cc or a .cpp extension, which makes it very difficult to distinguish them from a normal C++ file. Thus, to enable Cynlib highlighting for .cc files, add this line to your .vimrc file: > :let cynlib_cyntax_for_cc=1 Similarly for cpp files (this extension is only usually used in Windows) > :let cynlib_cyntax_for_cpp=1 To disable these again, use this: > :unlet cynlib_cyntax_for_cc :unlet cynlib_cyntax_for_cpp < CWEB cweb.vim ft-cweb-syntax Files matching ".w" could be Progress or cweb. If the automatic detection doesn't work for you, or you don't edit Progress at all, use this in your startup vimrc: > :let filetype_w = "cweb" DART dart.vim* ft-dart-syntax Dart is an object-oriented, typed, class defined, garbage collected language used for developing mobile, desktop, web, and back-end applications. Dart uses a C-like syntax derived from C, Java, and JavaScript, with features adopted from Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, and others. More information about the language and its development environment at the official Dart language website at https://dart.dev dart.vim syntax detects and highlights Dart statements, reserved words, type declarations, storage classes, conditionals, loops, interpolated values, and comments. There is no support idioms from Flutter or any other Dart framework. Changes, fixes? Submit an issue or pull request via: https://github.com/pr3d4t0r/dart-vim-syntax/ DESKTOP desktop.vim ft-desktop-syntax Primary goal of this syntax file is to highlight .desktop and .directory files according to freedesktop.org standard: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ To highlight nonstandard extensions that does not begin with X-, set > let g:desktop_enable_nonstd = 1 Note that this may cause wrong highlight. To highlight KDE-reserved features, set > let g:desktop_enable_kde = 1 g:desktop_enable_kde follows g:desktop_enable_nonstd if not supplied DIFF diff.vim The diff highlighting normally finds translated headers. This can be slow if there are very long lines in the file. To disable translations: > :let diff_translations = 0 Also see \|diff-slow\|. DIRCOLORS dircolors.vim ft-dircolors-syntax The dircolors utility highlighting definition has one option. It exists to provide compatibility with the Slackware GNU/Linux distributions version of the command. It adds a few keywords that are generally ignored by most versions. On Slackware systems, however, the utility accepts the keywords and uses them for processing. To enable the Slackware keywords add the following line to your startup file: > let dircolors_is_slackware = 1 DOCBOOK docbk.vim ft-docbk-syntax docbook DOCBOOK XML docbkxml.vim ft-docbkxml-syntax DOCBOOK SGML docbksgml.vim ft-docbksgml-syntax There are two types of DocBook files: SGML and XML. To specify what type you are using the "b:docbk_type" variable should be set. Vim does this for you automatically if it can recognize the type. When Vim can't guess it the type defaults to XML. You can set the type manually: > :let docbk_type = "sgml" or: > :let docbk_type = "xml" You need to do this before loading the syntax file, which is complicated. Simpler is setting the filetype to "docbkxml" or "docbksgml": > :set filetype=docbksgml or: > :set filetype=docbkxml You can specify the DocBook version: > :let docbk_ver = 3 When not set 4 is used. DOSBATCH dosbatch.vim ft-dosbatch-syntax There is one option with highlighting DOS batch files. This covers new extensions to the Command Interpreter introduced with Windows 2000 and is controlled by the variable dosbatch_cmdextversion. For Windows NT this should have the value 1, and for Windows 2000 it should be 2. Select the version you want with the following line: > :let dosbatch_cmdextversion = 1 If this variable is not defined it defaults to a value of 2 to support Windows 2000. A second option covers whether .btm files should be detected as type "dosbatch" (MS-DOS batch files) or type "btm" (4DOS batch files). The latter is used by default. You may select the former with the following line: > :let g:dosbatch_syntax_for_btm = 1 If this variable is undefined or zero, btm syntax is selected. DOXYGEN doxygen.vim* doxygen-syntax Doxygen generates code documentation using a special documentation format (similar to Javadoc). This syntax script adds doxygen highlighting to c, cpp, idl and php files, and should also work with java. There are a few of ways to turn on doxygen formatting. It can be done explicitly or in a modeline by appending '.doxygen' to the syntax of the file. Example: > :set syntax=c.doxygen or > // vim:syntax=c.doxygen It can also be done automatically for C, C++, C#, IDL and PHP files by setting the global or buffer-local variable load_doxygen_syntax. This is done by adding the following to your .vimrc. > :let g:load_doxygen_syntax=1 There are a couple of variables that have an effect on syntax highlighting, and are to do with non-standard highlighting options. Variable Default Effect ~ g:doxygen_enhanced_color g:doxygen_enhanced_colour 0 Use non-standard highlighting for doxygen comments. doxygen_my_rendering 0 Disable rendering of HTML bold, italic and html_my_rendering underline. doxygen_javadoc_autobrief 1 Set to 0 to disable javadoc autobrief colour highlighting. doxygen_end_punctuation '[.]' Set to regexp match for the ending punctuation of brief There are also some highlight groups worth mentioning as they can be useful in configuration. Highlight Effect ~ doxygenErrorComment The colour of an end-comment when missing punctuation in a code, verbatim or dot section doxygenLinkError The colour of an end-comment when missing the \endlink from a \link section. DTD dtd.vim ft-dtd-syntax The DTD syntax highlighting is case sensitive by default. To disable case-sensitive highlighting, add the following line to your startup file: > :let dtd_ignore_case=1 The DTD syntax file will highlight unknown tags as errors. If this is annoying, it can be turned off by setting: > :let dtd_no_tag_errors=1 before sourcing the dtd.vim syntax file. Parameter entity names are highlighted in the definition using the 'Type' highlighting group and 'Comment' for punctuation and '%'. Parameter entity instances are highlighted using the 'Constant' highlighting group and the 'Type' highlighting group for the delimiters % and ;. This can be turned off by setting: > :let dtd_no_param_entities=1 The DTD syntax file is also included by xml.vim to highlight included dtd's. EIFFEL eiffel.vim ft-eiffel-syntax While Eiffel is not case-sensitive, its style guidelines are, and the syntax highlighting file encourages their use. This also allows to highlight class names differently. If you want to disable case-sensitive highlighting, add the following line to your startup file: > :let eiffel_ignore_case=1 Case still matters for class names and TODO marks in comments. Conversely, for even stricter checks, add one of the following lines: > :let eiffel_strict=1 :let eiffel_pedantic=1 Setting eiffel_strict will only catch improper capitalization for the five predefined words "Current", "Void", "Result", "Precursor", and "NONE", to warn against their accidental use as feature or class names. Setting eiffel_pedantic will enforce adherence to the Eiffel style guidelines fairly rigorously (like arbitrary mixes of upper- and lowercase letters as well as outdated ways to capitalize keywords). If you want to use the lower-case version of "Current", "Void", "Result", and "Precursor", you can use > :let eiffel_lower_case_predef=1 instead of completely turning case-sensitive highlighting off. Support for ISE's proposed new creation syntax that is already experimentally handled by some compilers can be enabled by: > :let eiffel_ise=1 Finally, some vendors support hexadecimal constants. To handle them, add > :let eiffel_hex_constants=1 to your startup file. EUPHORIA euphoria3.vim euphoria4.vim ft-euphoria-syntax Two syntax highlighting files exist for Euphoria. One for Euphoria version 3.1.1, which is the default syntax highlighting file, and one for Euphoria version 4.0.5 or later. Euphoria version 3.1.1 (http://www.rapideuphoria.com/) is still necessary for developing applications for the DOS platform, which Euphoria version 4 (http://www.openeuphoria.org/) does not support. The following file extensions are auto-detected as Euphoria file type: .e, .eu, .ew, .ex, .exu, .exw .E, .EU, .EW, .EX, .EXU, .EXW To select syntax highlighting file for Euphoria, as well as for auto-detecting the .e and .E file extensions as Euphoria file type, add the following line to your startup file: > :let filetype_euphoria="euphoria3" or :let filetype_euphoria="euphoria4" ERLANG erlang.vim ft-erlang-syntax Erlang is a functional programming language developed by Ericsson. Files with the following extensions are recognized as Erlang files: erl, hrl, yaws. The BIFs (built-in functions) are highlighted by default. To disable this, put the following line in your vimrc: > :let g:erlang_highlight_bifs = 0 To enable highlighting some special atoms, put this in your vimrc: > :let g:erlang_highlight_special_atoms = 1 FLEXWIKI flexwiki.vim ft-flexwiki-syntax FlexWiki is an ASP.NET-based wiki package available at http://www.flexwiki.com NOTE: this site currently doesn't work, on Wikipedia is mentioned that development stopped in 2009. Syntax highlighting is available for the most common elements of FlexWiki syntax. The associated ftplugin script sets some buffer-local options to make editing FlexWiki pages more convenient. FlexWiki considers a newline as the start of a new paragraph, so the ftplugin sets 'tw'=0 (unlimited line length), 'wrap' (wrap long lines instead of using horizontal scrolling), 'linebreak' (to wrap at a character in 'breakat' instead of at the last char on screen), and so on. It also includes some keymaps that are disabled by default. If you want to enable the keymaps that make "j" and "k" and the cursor keys move up and down by display lines, add this to your .vimrc: > :let flexwiki_maps = 1 FORM form.vim ft-form-syntax The coloring scheme for syntax elements in the FORM file uses the default modes Conditional, Number, Statement, Comment, PreProc, Type, and String, following the language specifications in 'Symbolic Manipulation with FORM' by J.A.M. Vermaseren, CAN, Netherlands, 1991. If you want include your own changes to the default colors, you have to redefine the following syntax groups: - formConditional - formNumber - formStatement - formHeaderStatement - formComment - formPreProc - formDirective - formType - formString Note that the form.vim syntax file implements FORM preprocessor commands and directives per default in the same syntax group. A predefined enhanced color mode for FORM is available to distinguish between header statements and statements in the body of a FORM program. To activate this mode define the following variable in your vimrc file > :let form_enhanced_color=1 The enhanced mode also takes advantage of additional color features for a dark gvim display. Here, statements are colored LightYellow instead of Yellow, and conditionals are LightBlue for better distinction. FORTRAN fortran.vim ft-fortran-syntax Default highlighting and dialect ~ Highlighting appropriate for Fortran 2008 is used by default. This choice should be appropriate for most users most of the time because Fortran 2008 is almost a superset of previous versions (Fortran 2003, 95, 90, and 77). Fortran source code form ~ Fortran code can be in either fixed or free source form. Note that the syntax highlighting will not be correct if the form is incorrectly set. When you create a new fortran file, the syntax script assumes fixed source form. If you always use free source form, then > :let fortran_free_source=1 in your .vimrc prior to the :syntax on command. If you always use fixed source form, then > :let fortran_fixed_source=1 in your .vimrc prior to the :syntax on command. If the form of the source code depends, in a non-standard way, upon the file extension, then it is most convenient to set fortran_free_source in a ftplugin file. For more information on ftplugin files, see \|ftplugin\|. Note that this will work only if the "filetype plugin indent on" command precedes the "syntax on" command in your .vimrc file. When you edit an existing fortran file, the syntax script will assume free source form if the fortran_free_source variable has been set, and assumes fixed source form if the fortran_fixed_source variable has been set. If neither of these variables have been set, the syntax script attempts to determine which source form has been used by examining the file extension using conventions common to the ifort, gfortran, Cray, NAG, and PathScale compilers (.f, .for, .f77 for fixed-source, .f90, .f95, .f03, .f08 for free-source). If none of this works, then the script examines the first five columns of the first 500 lines of your file. If no signs of free source form are detected, then the file is assumed to be in fixed source form. The algorithm should work in the vast majority of cases. In some cases, such as a file that begins with 500 or more full-line comments, the script may incorrectly decide that the fortran code is in fixed form. If that happens, just add a non-comment statement beginning anywhere in the first five columns of the first twenty-five lines, save (:w) and then reload (:e!) the file. Tabs in fortran files ~ Tabs are not recognized by the Fortran standards. Tabs are not a good idea in fixed format fortran source code which requires fixed column boundaries. Therefore, tabs are marked as errors. Nevertheless, some programmers like using tabs. If your fortran files contain tabs, then you should set the variable fortran_have_tabs in your .vimrc with a command such as > :let fortran_have_tabs=1 placed prior to the :syntax on command. Unfortunately, the use of tabs will mean that the syntax file will not be able to detect incorrect margins. Syntax folding of fortran files ~ If you wish to use foldmethod=syntax, then you must first set the variable fortran_fold with a command such as > :let fortran_fold=1 to instruct the syntax script to define fold regions for program units, that is main programs starting with a program statement, subroutines, function subprograms, block data subprograms, interface blocks, and modules. If you also set the variable fortran_fold_conditionals with a command such as > :let fortran_fold_conditionals=1 then fold regions will also be defined for do loops, if blocks, and select case constructs. If you also set the variable fortran_fold_multilinecomments with a command such as > :let fortran_fold_multilinecomments=1 then fold regions will also be defined for three or more consecutive comment lines. Note that defining fold regions can be slow for large files. If fortran_fold, and possibly fortran_fold_conditionals and/or fortran_fold_multilinecomments, have been set, then vim will fold your file if you set foldmethod=syntax. Comments or blank lines placed between two program units are not folded because they are seen as not belonging to any program unit. More precise fortran syntax ~ If you set the variable fortran_more_precise with a command such as > :let fortran_more_precise=1 then the syntax coloring will be more precise but slower. In particular, statement labels used in do, goto and arithmetic if statements will be recognized, as will construct names at the end of a do, if, select or forall construct. Non-default fortran dialects ~ The syntax script supports two Fortran dialects: f08 and F. You will probably find the default highlighting (f08) satisfactory. A few legacy constructs deleted or declared obsolescent in the 2008 standard are highlighted as todo items. If you use F, the advantage of setting the dialect appropriately is that other legacy features excluded from F will be highlighted as todo items and that free source form will be assumed. The dialect can be selected in various ways. If all your fortran files use the same dialect, set the global variable fortran_dialect in your .vimrc prior to your syntax on statement. The case-sensitive, permissible values of fortran_dialect are "f08" or "F". Invalid values of fortran_dialect are ignored. If the dialect depends upon the file extension, then it is most convenient to set a buffer-local variable in a ftplugin file. For more information on ftplugin files, see \|ftplugin\|. For example, if all your fortran files with an .f90 extension are written in the F subset, your ftplugin file should contain the code > let s:extfname = expand("%:e") if s:extfname ==? "f90" let b:fortran_dialect="F" else unlet! b:fortran_dialect endif Note that this will work only if the "filetype plugin indent on" command precedes the "syntax on" command in your .vimrc file. Finer control is necessary if the file extension does not uniquely identify the dialect. You can override the default dialect, on a file-by-file basis, by including a comment with the directive "fortran_dialect=xx" (where xx=F or f08) in one of the first three lines in your file. For example, your older .f files may be legacy code but your newer ones may be F codes, and you would identify the latter by including in the first three lines of those files a Fortran comment of the form > ! fortran_dialect=F For previous versions of the syntax, you may have set fortran_dialect to the now-obsolete values "f77", "f90", "f95", or "elf". Such settings will be silently handled as "f08". Users of "elf" may wish to experiment with "F" instead. The syntax/fortran.vim script contains embedded comments that tell you how to comment and/or uncomment some lines to (a) activate recognition of some non-standard, vendor-supplied intrinsics and (b) to prevent features deleted or declared obsolescent in the 2008 standard from being highlighted as todo items. Limitations ~ Parenthesis checking does not catch too few closing parentheses. Hollerith strings are not recognized. Some keywords may be highlighted incorrectly because Fortran90 has no reserved words. For further information related to fortran, see \|ft-fortran-indent\| and \|ft-fortran-plugin\|. FVWM CONFIGURATION FILES fvwm.vim ft-fvwm-syntax In order for Vim to recognize Fvwm configuration files that do not match the patterns fvwmrc or fvwm2rc , you must put additional patterns appropriate to your system in your myfiletypes.vim file. For these patterns, you must set the variable "b:fvwm_version" to the major version number of Fvwm, and the 'filetype' option to fvwm. For example, to make Vim identify all files in /etc/X11/fvwm2/ as Fvwm2 configuration files, add the following: > :au! BufNewFile,BufRead /etc/X11/fvwm2/* let b:fvwm_version = 2 \| \ set filetype=fvwm If you'd like Vim to highlight all valid color names, tell it where to find the color database (rgb.txt) on your system. Do this by setting "rgb_file" to its location. Assuming your color database is located in /usr/X11/lib/X11/, you should add the line > :let rgb_file = "/usr/X11/lib/X11/rgb.txt" to your .vimrc file. GSP gsp.vim ft-gsp-syntax The default coloring style for GSP pages is defined by \|html.vim\|, and the coloring for java code (within java tags or inline between backticks) is defined by \|java.vim\|. The following HTML groups defined in \|html.vim\| are redefined to incorporate and highlight inline java code: htmlString htmlValue htmlEndTag htmlTag htmlTagN Highlighting should look fine most of the places where you'd see inline java code, but in some special cases it may not. To add another HTML group where you will have inline java code where it does not highlight correctly, just copy the line you want from \|html.vim\| and add gspJava to the contains clause. The backticks for inline java are highlighted according to the htmlError group to make them easier to see. GROFF groff.vim ft-groff-syntax The groff syntax file is a wrapper for \|nroff.vim\|, see the notes under that heading for examples of use and configuration. The purpose of this wrapper is to set up groff syntax extensions by setting the filetype from a \|modeline\| or in a personal filetype definitions file (see \|filetype.txt\|). HASKELL haskell.vim lhaskell.vim ft-haskell-syntax The Haskell syntax files support plain Haskell code as well as literate Haskell code, the latter in both Bird style and TeX style. The Haskell syntax highlighting will also highlight C preprocessor directives. If you want to highlight delimiter characters (useful if you have a light-coloured background), add to your .vimrc: > :let hs_highlight_delimiters = 1 To treat True and False as keywords as opposed to ordinary identifiers, add: > :let hs_highlight_boolean = 1 To also treat the names of primitive types as keywords: > :let hs_highlight_types = 1 And to treat the names of even more relatively common types as keywords: > :let hs_highlight_more_types = 1 If you want to highlight the names of debugging functions, put in your .vimrc: > :let hs_highlight_debug = 1 The Haskell syntax highlighting also highlights C preprocessor directives, and flags lines that start with # but are not valid directives as erroneous. This interferes with Haskell's syntax for operators, as they may start with #. If you want to highlight those as operators as opposed to errors, put in your .vimrc: > :let hs_allow_hash_operator = 1 The syntax highlighting for literate Haskell code will try to automatically guess whether your literate Haskell code contains TeX markup or not, and correspondingly highlight TeX constructs or nothing at all. You can override this globally by putting in your .vimrc > :let lhs_markup = none for no highlighting at all, or > :let lhs_markup = tex to force the highlighting to always try to highlight TeX markup. For more flexibility, you may also use buffer local versions of this variable, so e.g. > :let b:lhs_markup = tex will force TeX highlighting for a particular buffer. It has to be set before turning syntax highlighting on for the buffer or loading a file. HTML html.vim ft-html-syntax The coloring scheme for tags in the HTML file works as follows. The <> of opening tags are colored differently than the </> of a closing tag. This is on purpose! For opening tags the 'Function' color is used, while for closing tags the 'Identifier' color is used (See syntax.vim to check how those are defined for you) Known tag names are colored the same way as statements in C. Unknown tag names are colored with the same color as the <> or </> respectively which makes it easy to spot errors Note that the same is true for argument (or attribute) names. Known attribute names are colored differently than unknown ones. Some HTML tags are used to change the rendering of text. The following tags are recognized by the html.vim syntax coloring file and change the way normal text is shown: <B> <I> <U> <EM> <STRONG> (<EM> is used as an alias for <I>, while <STRONG> as an alias for <B>), <H1> - <H6>, <HEAD>, <TITLE> and <A>, but only if used as a link (that is, it must include a href as in <A href="somefile.html">). If you want to change how such text is rendered, you must redefine the following syntax groups: - htmlBold - htmlBoldUnderline - htmlBoldUnderlineItalic - htmlUnderline - htmlUnderlineItalic - htmlItalic - htmlTitle for titles - htmlH1 - htmlH6 for headings To make this redefinition work you must redefine them all with the exception of the last two (htmlTitle and htmlH[1-6], which are optional) and define the following variable in your vimrc (this is due to the order in which the files are read during initialization) > :let html_my_rendering=1 If you'd like to see an example download mysyntax.vim at http://www.fleiner.com/vim/download.html You can also disable this rendering by adding the following line to your vimrc file: > :let html_no_rendering=1 HTML comments are rather special (see an HTML reference document for the details), and the syntax coloring scheme will highlight all errors. However, if you prefer to use the wrong style (starts with <!-- and ends with -->) you can define > :let html_wrong_comments=1 JavaScript and Visual Basic embedded inside HTML documents are highlighted as 'Special' with statements, comments, strings and so on colored as in standard programming languages. Note that only JavaScript and Visual Basic are currently supported, no other scripting language has been added yet. Embedded and inlined cascading style sheets (CSS) are highlighted too. There are several html preprocessor languages out there. html.vim has been written such that it should be trivial to include it. To do so add the following two lines to the syntax coloring file for that language (the example comes from the asp.vim file): > runtime! syntax/html.vim syn cluster htmlPreproc add=asp Now you just need to make sure that you add all regions that contain the preprocessor language to the cluster htmlPreproc. HTML/OS (by Aestiva) htmlos.vim ft-htmlos-syntax The coloring scheme for HTML/OS works as follows: Functions and variable names are the same color by default, because VIM doesn't specify different colors for Functions and Identifiers. To change this (which is recommended if you want function names to be recognizable in a different color) you need to add the following line to either your ~/.vimrc: > :hi Function term=underline cterm=bold ctermfg=LightGray Of course, the ctermfg can be a different color if you choose. Another issues that HTML/OS runs into is that there is no special filetype to signify that it is a file with HTML/OS coding. You can change this by opening a file and turning on HTML/OS syntax by doing the following: > :set syntax=htmlos Lastly, it should be noted that the opening and closing characters to begin a block of HTML/OS code can either be << or [[ and >> or ]], respectively. IA64 ia64.vim intel-itanium ft-ia64-syntax Highlighting for the Intel Itanium 64 assembly language. See \|asm.vim\| for how to recognize this filetype. To have .inc files be recognized as IA64, add this to your .vimrc file: > :let g:filetype_inc = "ia64" INFORM inform.vim* ft-inform-syntax Inform highlighting includes symbols provided by the Inform Library, as most programs make extensive use of it. If do not wish Library symbols to be highlighted add this to your vim startup: > :let inform_highlight_simple=1 By default it is assumed that Inform programs are Z-machine targeted, and highlights Z-machine assembly language symbols appropriately. If you intend your program to be targeted to a Glulx/Glk environment you need to add this to your startup sequence: > :let inform_highlight_glulx=1 This will highlight Glulx opcodes instead, and also adds glk() to the set of highlighted system functions. The Inform compiler will flag certain obsolete keywords as errors when it encounters them. These keywords are normally highlighted as errors by Vim. To prevent such error highlighting, you must add this to your startup sequence: > :let inform_suppress_obsolete=1 By default, the language features highlighted conform to Compiler version 6.30 and Library version 6.11. If you are using an older Inform development environment, you may with to add this to your startup sequence: > :let inform_highlight_old=1 IDL idl.vim idl-syntax IDL (Interface Definition Language) files are used to define RPC calls. In Microsoft land, this is also used for defining COM interfaces and calls. IDL's structure is simple enough to permit a full grammar based approach to rather than using a few heuristics. The result is large and somewhat repetitive but seems to work. There are some Microsoft extensions to idl files that are here. Some of them are disabled by defining idl_no_ms_extensions. The more complex of the extensions are disabled by defining idl_no_extensions. Variable Effect ~ idl_no_ms_extensions Disable some of the Microsoft specific extensions idl_no_extensions Disable complex extensions idlsyntax_showerror Show IDL errors (can be rather intrusive, but quite helpful) idlsyntax_showerror_soft Use softer colours by default for errors JAVA java.vim ft-java-syntax The java.vim syntax highlighting file offers several options: In Java 1.0.2 it was never possible to have braces inside parens, so this was flagged as an error. Since Java 1.1 this is possible (with anonymous classes), and therefore is no longer marked as an error. If you prefer the old way, put the following line into your vim startup file: > :let java_mark_braces_in_parens_as_errors=1 All identifiers in java.lang.* are always visible in all classes. To highlight them use: > :let java_highlight_java_lang_ids=1 You can also highlight identifiers of most standard Java packages if you download the javaid.vim script at http://www.fleiner.com/vim/download.html. If you prefer to only highlight identifiers of a certain package, say java.io use the following: > :let java_highlight_java_io=1 Check the javaid.vim file for a list of all the packages that are supported. Function names are not highlighted, as the way to find functions depends on how you write Java code. The syntax file knows two possible ways to highlight functions: If you write function declarations that are always indented by either a tab, 8 spaces or 2 spaces you may want to set > :let java_highlight_functions="indent" However, if you follow the Java guidelines about how functions and classes are supposed to be named (with respect to upper and lowercase), use > :let java_highlight_functions="style" If both options do not work for you, but you would still want function declarations to be highlighted create your own definitions by changing the definitions in java.vim or by creating your own java.vim which includes the original one and then adds the code to highlight functions. In Java 1.1 the functions System.out.println() and System.err.println() should only be used for debugging. Therefore it is possible to highlight debugging statements differently. To do this you must add the following definition in your startup file: > :let java_highlight_debug=1 The result will be that those statements are highlighted as 'Special' characters. If you prefer to have them highlighted differently you must define new highlightings for the following groups.: Debug, DebugSpecial, DebugString, DebugBoolean, DebugType which are used for the statement itself, special characters used in debug strings, strings, boolean constants and types (this, super) respectively. I have opted to choose another background for those statements. Javadoc is a program that takes special comments out of Java program files and creates HTML pages. The standard configuration will highlight this HTML code similarly to HTML files (see \|html.vim\|). You can even add Javascript and CSS inside this code (see below). There are four differences however: 1. The title (all characters up to the first '.' which is followed by some white space or up to the first '@') is colored differently (to change the color change the group CommentTitle). 2. The text is colored as 'Comment'. 3. HTML comments are colored as 'Special' 4. The special Javadoc tags (@see, @param, ...) are highlighted as specials and the argument (for @see, @param, @exception) as Function. To turn this feature off add the following line to your startup file: > :let java_ignore_javadoc=1 If you use the special Javadoc comment highlighting described above you can also turn on special highlighting for Javascript, visual basic scripts and embedded CSS (stylesheets). This makes only sense if you actually have Javadoc comments that include either Javascript or embedded CSS. The options to use are > :let java_javascript=1 :let java_css=1 :let java_vb=1 In order to highlight nested parens with different colors define colors for javaParen, javaParen1 and javaParen2, for example with > :hi link javaParen Comment or > :hi javaParen ctermfg=blue guifg=#0000ff If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "java_minlines" internal variable to a larger number: > :let java_minlines = 50 This will make the syntax synchronization start 50 lines before the first displayed line. The default value is 10. The disadvantage of using a larger number is that redrawing can become slow. JSON json.vim ft-json-syntax The json syntax file provides syntax highlighting with conceal support by default. To disable concealment: > let g:vim_json_conceal = 0 To disable syntax highlighting of errors: > let g:vim_json_warnings = 0 LACE lace.vim ft-lace-syntax Lace (Language for Assembly of Classes in Eiffel) is case insensitive, but the style guide lines are not. If you prefer case insensitive highlighting, just define the vim variable 'lace_case_insensitive' in your startup file: > :let lace_case_insensitive=1 LEX lex.vim ft-lex-syntax Lex uses brute-force synchronizing as the "^%%$" section delimiter gives no clue as to what section follows. Consequently, the value for > :syn sync minlines=300 may be changed by the user if s/he is experiencing synchronization difficulties (such as may happen with large lex files). LIFELINES lifelines.vim ft-lifelines-syntax To highlight deprecated functions as errors, add in your .vimrc: > :let g:lifelines_deprecated = 1 < LISP lisp.vim ft-lisp-syntax The lisp syntax highlighting provides two options: > g:lisp_instring : if it exists, then "(...)" strings are highlighted as if the contents of the string were lisp. Useful for AutoLisp. g:lisp_rainbow : if it exists and is nonzero, then differing levels of parenthesization will receive different highlighting. < The g:lisp_rainbow option provides 10 levels of individual colorization for the parentheses and backquoted parentheses. Because of the quantity of colorization levels, unlike non-rainbow highlighting, the rainbow mode specifies its highlighting using ctermfg and guifg, thereby bypassing the usual color scheme control using standard highlighting groups. The actual highlighting used depends on the dark/bright setting (see \|'bg'\|). LITE lite.vim ft-lite-syntax There are two options for the lite syntax highlighting. If you like SQL syntax highlighting inside Strings, use this: > :let lite_sql_query = 1 For syncing, minlines defaults to 100. If you prefer another value, you can set "lite_minlines" to the value you desire. Example: > :let lite_minlines = 200 LPC lpc.vim ft-lpc-syntax LPC stands for a simple, memory-efficient language: Lars Pensjö C. The file name of LPC is usually .c. Recognizing these files as LPC would bother users writing only C programs. If you want to use LPC syntax in Vim, you should set a variable in your .vimrc file: > :let lpc_syntax_for_c = 1 If it doesn't work properly for some particular C or LPC files, use a modeline. For a LPC file: // vim:set ft=lpc: For a C file that is recognized as LPC: // vim:set ft=c: If you don't want to set the variable, use the modeline in EVERY LPC file. There are several implementations for LPC, we intend to support most widely used ones. Here the default LPC syntax is for MudOS series, for MudOS v22 and before, you should turn off the sensible modifiers, and this will also assert the new efuns after v22 to be invalid, don't set this variable when you are using the latest version of MudOS: > :let lpc_pre_v22 = 1 For LpMud 3.2 series of LPC: > :let lpc_compat_32 = 1 For LPC4 series of LPC: > :let lpc_use_lpc4_syntax = 1 For uLPC series of LPC: uLPC has been developed to Pike, so you should use Pike syntax instead, and the name of your source file should be .pike LUA lua.vim ft-lua-syntax The Lua syntax file can be used for versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 (5.2 is the default). You can select one of these versions using the global variables lua_version and lua_subversion. For example, to activate Lua 5.1 syntax highlighting, set the variables like this: :let lua_version = 5 :let lua_subversion = 1 MAIL mail.vim ft-mail.vim Vim highlights all the standard elements of an email (headers, signatures, quoted text and URLs / email addresses). In keeping with standard conventions, signatures begin in a line containing only "--" followed optionally by whitespaces and end with a newline. Vim treats lines beginning with ']', '}', '\|', '>' or a word followed by '>' as quoted text. However Vim highlights headers and signatures in quoted text only if the text is quoted with '>' (optionally followed by one space). By default mail.vim synchronises syntax to 100 lines before the first displayed line. If you have a slow machine, and generally deal with emails with short headers, you can change this to a smaller value: > :let mail_minlines = 30 MAKE make.vim ft-make-syntax In makefiles, commands are usually highlighted to make it easy for you to spot errors. However, this may be too much coloring for you. You can turn this feature off by using: > :let make_no_commands = 1 MAPLE maple.vim ft-maple-syntax Maple V, by Waterloo Maple Inc, supports symbolic algebra. The language supports many packages of functions which are selectively loaded by the user. The standard set of packages' functions as supplied in Maple V release 4 may be highlighted at the user's discretion. Users may place in their .vimrc file: > :let mvpkg_all= 1 to get all package functions highlighted, or users may select any subset by choosing a variable/package from the table below and setting that variable to 1, also in their .vimrc file (prior to sourcing $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim). Table of Maple V Package Function Selectors > mv_DEtools mv_genfunc mv_networks mv_process mv_Galois mv_geometry mv_numapprox mv_simplex mv_GaussInt mv_grobner mv_numtheory mv_stats mv_LREtools mv_group mv_orthopoly mv_student mv_combinat mv_inttrans mv_padic mv_sumtools mv_combstruct mv_liesymm mv_plots mv_tensor mv_difforms mv_linalg mv_plottools mv_totorder mv_finance mv_logic mv_powseries MATHEMATICA mma.vim ft-mma-syntax ft-mathematica-syntax Empty .m files will automatically be presumed to be Matlab files unless you have the following in your .vimrc: > let filetype_m = "mma" MOO moo.vim* ft-moo-syntax If you use C-style comments inside expressions and find it mangles your highlighting, you may want to use extended (slow!) matches for C-style comments: > :let moo_extended_cstyle_comments = 1 To disable highlighting of pronoun substitution patterns inside strings: > :let moo_no_pronoun_sub = 1 To disable highlighting of the regular expression operator '%\|', and matching '%(' and '%)' inside strings: > :let moo_no_regexp = 1 Unmatched double quotes can be recognized and highlighted as errors: > :let moo_unmatched_quotes = 1 To highlight builtin properties (.name, .location, .programmer etc.): > :let moo_builtin_properties = 1 Unknown builtin functions can be recognized and highlighted as errors. If you use this option, add your own extensions to the mooKnownBuiltinFunction group. To enable this option: > :let moo_unknown_builtin_functions = 1 An example of adding sprintf() to the list of known builtin functions: > :syn keyword mooKnownBuiltinFunction sprintf contained MSQL msql.vim ft-msql-syntax There are two options for the msql syntax highlighting. If you like SQL syntax highlighting inside Strings, use this: > :let msql_sql_query = 1 For syncing, minlines defaults to 100. If you prefer another value, you can set "msql_minlines" to the value you desire. Example: > :let msql_minlines = 200 N1QL n1ql.vim ft-n1ql-syntax N1QL is a SQL-like declarative language for manipulating JSON documents in Couchbase Server databases. Vim syntax highlights N1QL statements, keywords, operators, types, comments, and special values. Vim ignores syntactical elements specific to SQL or its many dialects, like COLUMN or CHAR, that don't exist in N1QL. NCF ncf.vim ft-ncf-syntax There is one option for NCF syntax highlighting. If you want to have unrecognized (by ncf.vim) statements highlighted as errors, use this: > :let ncf_highlight_unknowns = 1 If you don't want to highlight these errors, leave it unset. NROFF nroff.vim ft-nroff-syntax The nroff syntax file works with AT&T n/troff out of the box. You need to activate the GNU groff extra features included in the syntax file before you can use them. For example, Linux and BSD distributions use groff as their default text processing package. In order to activate the extra syntax highlighting features for groff, add the following option to your start-up files: > :let b:nroff_is_groff = 1 Groff is different from the old AT&T n/troff that you may still find in Solaris. Groff macro and request names can be longer than 2 characters and there are extensions to the language primitives. For example, in AT&T troff you access the year as a 2-digit number with the request \(yr. In groff you can use the same request, recognized for compatibility, or you can use groff's native syntax, \[yr]. Furthermore, you can use a 4-digit year directly: \[year]. Macro requests can be longer than 2 characters, for example, GNU mm accepts the requests ".VERBON" and ".VERBOFF" for creating verbatim environments. In order to obtain the best formatted output g/troff can give you, you should follow a few simple rules about spacing and punctuation. 1. Do not leave empty spaces at the end of lines. 2. Leave one space and one space only after an end-of-sentence period, exclamation mark, etc. 3. For reasons stated below, it is best to follow all period marks with a carriage return. The reason behind these unusual tips is that g/n/troff have a line breaking algorithm that can be easily upset if you don't follow the rules given above. Unlike TeX, troff fills text line-by-line, not paragraph-by-paragraph and, furthermore, it does not have a concept of glue or stretch, all horizontal and vertical space input will be output as is. Therefore, you should be careful about not using more space between sentences than you intend to have in your final document. For this reason, the common practice is to insert a carriage return immediately after all punctuation marks. If you want to have "even" text in your final processed output, you need to maintain regular spacing in the input text. To mark both trailing spaces and two or more spaces after a punctuation as an error, use: > :let nroff_space_errors = 1 Another technique to detect extra spacing and other errors that will interfere with the correct typesetting of your file, is to define an eye-catching highlighting definition for the syntax groups "nroffDefinition" and "nroffDefSpecial" in your configuration files. For example: > hi def nroffDefinition term=italic cterm=italic gui=reverse hi def nroffDefSpecial term=italic,bold cterm=italic,bold \ gui=reverse,bold If you want to navigate preprocessor entries in your source file as easily as with section markers, you can activate the following option in your .vimrc file: > let b:preprocs_as_sections = 1 As well, the syntax file adds an extra paragraph marker for the extended paragraph macro (.XP) in the ms package. Finally, there is a \|groff.vim\| syntax file that can be used for enabling groff syntax highlighting either on a file basis or globally by default. OCAML ocaml.vim ft-ocaml-syntax The OCaml syntax file handles files having the following prefixes: .ml, .mli, .mll and .mly. By setting the following variable > :let ocaml_revised = 1 you can switch from standard OCaml-syntax to revised syntax as supported by the camlp4 preprocessor. Setting the variable > :let ocaml_noend_error = 1 prevents highlighting of "end" as error, which is useful when sources contain very long structures that Vim does not synchronize anymore. PAPP papp.vim ft-papp-syntax The PApp syntax file handles .papp files and, to a lesser extent, .pxml and .pxsl files which are all a mixture of perl/xml/html/other using xml as the top-level file format. By default everything inside phtml or pxml sections is treated as a string with embedded preprocessor commands. If you set the variable: > :let papp_include_html=1 in your startup file it will try to syntax-hilight html code inside phtml sections, but this is relatively slow and much too colourful to be able to edit sensibly. ;) The newest version of the papp.vim syntax file can usually be found at http://papp.plan9.de. PASCAL pascal.vim ft-pascal-syntax Files matching ".p" could be Progress or Pascal and those matching ".pp" could be Puppet or Pascal. If the automatic detection doesn't work for you, or you only edit Pascal files, use this in your startup vimrc: > :let filetype_p = "pascal" :let filetype_pp = "pascal" The Pascal syntax file has been extended to take into account some extensions provided by Turbo Pascal, Free Pascal Compiler and GNU Pascal Compiler. Delphi keywords are also supported. By default, Turbo Pascal 7.0 features are enabled. If you prefer to stick with the standard Pascal keywords, add the following line to your startup file: > :let pascal_traditional=1 To switch on Delphi specific constructions (such as one-line comments, keywords, etc): > :let pascal_delphi=1 The option pascal_symbol_operator controls whether symbol operators such as +, , .., etc. are displayed using the Operator color or not. To colorize symbol operators, add the following line to your startup file: > :let pascal_symbol_operator=1 Some functions are highlighted by default. To switch it off: > :let pascal_no_functions=1 Furthermore, there are specific variables for some compilers. Besides pascal_delphi, there are pascal_gpc and pascal_fpc. Default extensions try to match Turbo Pascal. > :let pascal_gpc=1 or > :let pascal_fpc=1 To ensure that strings are defined on a single line, you can define the pascal_one_line_string variable. > :let pascal_one_line_string=1 If you dislike <Tab> chars, you can set the pascal_no_tabs variable. Tabs will be highlighted as Error. > :let pascal_no_tabs=1 PERL perl.vim* ft-perl-syntax There are a number of possible options to the perl syntax highlighting. Inline POD highlighting is now turned on by default. If you don't wish to have the added complexity of highlighting POD embedded within Perl files, you may set the 'perl_include_pod' option to 0: > :let perl_include_pod = 0 To reduce the complexity of parsing (and increase performance) you can switch off two elements in the parsing of variable names and contents. > To handle package references in variable and function names not differently from the rest of the name (like 'PkgName::' in '$PkgName::VarName'): > :let perl_no_scope_in_variables = 1 (In Vim 6.x it was the other way around: "perl_want_scope_in_variables" enabled it.) If you do not want complex things like '@{${"foo"}}' to be parsed: > :let perl_no_extended_vars = 1 (In Vim 6.x it was the other way around: "perl_extended_vars" enabled it.) The coloring strings can be changed. By default strings and qq friends will be highlighted like the first line. If you set the variable perl_string_as_statement, it will be highlighted as in the second line. "hello world!"; qq\|hello world\|; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^NN^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^N (unlet perl_string_as_statement) S^^^^^^^^^^^^SNNSSS^^^^^^^^^^^SN (let perl_string_as_statement) (^ = perlString, S = perlStatement, N = None at all) The syncing has 3 options. The first two switch off some triggering of synchronization and should only be needed in case it fails to work properly. If while scrolling all of a sudden the whole screen changes color completely then you should try and switch off one of those. Let me know if you can figure out the line that causes the mistake. One triggers on "^\ssub\s" and the other on "^[$@%]" more or less. > :let perl_no_sync_on_sub :let perl_no_sync_on_global_var Below you can set the maximum distance VIM should look for starting points for its attempts in syntax highlighting. > :let perl_sync_dist = 100 If you want to use folding with perl, set perl_fold: > :let perl_fold = 1 If you want to fold blocks in if statements, etc. as well set the following: > :let perl_fold_blocks = 1 Subroutines are folded by default if 'perl_fold' is set. If you do not want this, you can set 'perl_nofold_subs': > :let perl_nofold_subs = 1 Anonymous subroutines are not folded by default; you may enable their folding via 'perl_fold_anonymous_subs': > :let perl_fold_anonymous_subs = 1 Packages are also folded by default if 'perl_fold' is set. To disable this behavior, set 'perl_nofold_packages': > :let perl_nofold_packages = 1 PHP3 and PHP4 php.vim php3.vim ft-php-syntax ft-php3-syntax [note: previously this was called "php3", but since it now also supports php4 it has been renamed to "php"] There are the following options for the php syntax highlighting. If you like SQL syntax highlighting inside Strings: > let php_sql_query = 1 For highlighting the Baselib methods: > let php_baselib = 1 Enable HTML syntax highlighting inside strings: > let php_htmlInStrings = 1 Using the old colorstyle: > let php_oldStyle = 1 Enable highlighting ASP-style short tags: > let php_asp_tags = 1 Disable short tags: > let php_noShortTags = 1 For highlighting parent error ] or ): > let php_parent_error_close = 1 For skipping a php end tag, if there exists an open ( or [ without a closing one: > let php_parent_error_open = 1 Enable folding for classes and functions: > let php_folding = 1 Selecting syncing method: > let php_sync_method = x x = -1 to sync by search (default), x > 0 to sync at least x lines backwards, x = 0 to sync from start. PLAINTEX plaintex.vim ft-plaintex-syntax TeX is a typesetting language, and plaintex is the file type for the "plain" variant of TeX. If you never want your .tex files recognized as plain TeX, see \|ft-tex-plugin\|. This syntax file has the option > let g:plaintex_delimiters = 1 if you want to highlight brackets "[]" and braces "{}". PPWIZARD ppwiz.vim* ft-ppwiz-syntax PPWizard is a preprocessor for HTML and OS/2 INF files This syntax file has the options: - ppwiz_highlight_defs : determines highlighting mode for PPWizard's definitions. Possible values are ppwiz_highlight_defs = 1 : PPWizard #define statements retain the colors of their contents (e.g. PPWizard macros and variables) ppwiz_highlight_defs = 2 : preprocessor #define and #evaluate statements are shown in a single color with the exception of line continuation symbols The default setting for ppwiz_highlight_defs is 1. - ppwiz_with_html : If the value is 1 (the default), highlight literal HTML code; if 0, treat HTML code like ordinary text. PHTML phtml.vim ft-phtml-syntax There are two options for the phtml syntax highlighting. If you like SQL syntax highlighting inside Strings, use this: > :let phtml_sql_query = 1 For syncing, minlines defaults to 100. If you prefer another value, you can set "phtml_minlines" to the value you desire. Example: > :let phtml_minlines = 200 POSTSCRIPT postscr.vim ft-postscr-syntax There are several options when it comes to highlighting PostScript. First which version of the PostScript language to highlight. There are currently three defined language versions, or levels. Level 1 is the original and base version, and includes all extensions prior to the release of level 2. Level 2 is the most common version around, and includes its own set of extensions prior to the release of level 3. Level 3 is currently the highest level supported. You select which level of the PostScript language you want highlighted by defining the postscr_level variable as follows: > :let postscr_level=2 If this variable is not defined it defaults to 2 (level 2) since this is the most prevalent version currently. Note, not all PS interpreters will support all language features for a particular language level. In particular the %!PS-Adobe-3.0 at the start of PS files does NOT mean the PostScript present is level 3 PostScript! If you are working with Display PostScript, you can include highlighting of Display PS language features by defining the postscr_display variable as follows: > :let postscr_display=1 If you are working with Ghostscript, you can include highlighting of Ghostscript specific language features by defining the variable postscr_ghostscript as follows: > :let postscr_ghostscript=1 PostScript is a large language, with many predefined elements. While it useful to have all these elements highlighted, on slower machines this can cause Vim to slow down. In an attempt to be machine friendly font names and character encodings are not highlighted by default. Unless you are working explicitly with either of these this should be ok. If you want them to be highlighted you should set one or both of the following variables: > :let postscr_fonts=1 :let postscr_encodings=1 There is a stylistic option to the highlighting of and, or, and not. In PostScript the function of these operators depends on the types of their operands - if the operands are booleans then they are the logical operators, if they are integers then they are binary operators. As binary and logical operators can be highlighted differently they have to be highlighted one way or the other. By default they are treated as logical operators. They can be highlighted as binary operators by defining the variable postscr_andornot_binary as follows: > :let postscr_andornot_binary=1 < ptcap.vim ft-printcap-syntax PRINTCAP + TERMCAP ft-ptcap-syntax ft-termcap-syntax This syntax file applies to the printcap and termcap databases. In order for Vim to recognize printcap/termcap files that do not match the patterns printcap, or termcap, you must put additional patterns appropriate to your system in your \|myfiletypefile\| file. For these patterns, you must set the variable "b:ptcap_type" to either "print" or "term", and then the 'filetype' option to ptcap. For example, to make Vim identify all files in /etc/termcaps/ as termcap files, add the following: > :au BufNewFile,BufRead /etc/termcaps/* let b:ptcap_type = "term" \| \ set filetype=ptcap If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "ptcap_minlines" internal variable to a larger number: > :let ptcap_minlines = 50 (The default is 20 lines.) PROGRESS progress.vim ft-progress-syntax Files matching ".w" could be Progress or cweb. If the automatic detection doesn't work for you, or you don't edit cweb at all, use this in your startup vimrc: > :let filetype_w = "progress" The same happens for ".i", which could be assembly, and ".p", which could be Pascal. Use this if you don't use assembly and Pascal: > :let filetype_i = "progress" :let filetype_p = "progress" PYTHON python.vim* ft-python-syntax There are six options to control Python syntax highlighting. For highlighted numbers: > :let python_no_number_highlight = 1 For highlighted builtin functions: > :let python_no_builtin_highlight = 1 For highlighted standard exceptions: > :let python_no_exception_highlight = 1 For highlighted doctests and code inside: > :let python_no_doctest_highlight = 1 or > :let python_no_doctest_code_highlight = 1 (first option implies second one). For highlighted trailing whitespace and mix of spaces and tabs: > :let python_space_error_highlight = 1 If you want all possible Python highlighting (the same as setting the preceding last option and unsetting all other ones): > :let python_highlight_all = 1 Note: only existence of these options matter, not their value. You can replace 1 above with anything. QUAKE quake.vim ft-quake-syntax The Quake syntax definition should work for most FPS (First Person Shooter) based on one of the Quake engines. However, the command names vary a bit between the three games (Quake, Quake 2, and Quake 3 Arena) so the syntax definition checks for the existence of three global variables to allow users to specify what commands are legal in their files. The three variables can be set for the following effects: set to highlight commands only available in Quake: > :let quake_is_quake1 = 1 set to highlight commands only available in Quake 2: > :let quake_is_quake2 = 1 set to highlight commands only available in Quake 3 Arena: > :let quake_is_quake3 = 1 Any combination of these three variables is legal, but might highlight more commands than are actually available to you by the game. R r.vim ft-r-syntax The parsing of R code for syntax highlight starts 40 lines backwards, but you can set a different value in your \|vimrc\|. Example: > let r_syntax_minlines = 60 You can also turn off syntax highlighting of ROxygen: > let r_syntax_hl_roxygen = 0 enable folding of code delimited by parentheses, square brackets and curly braces: > let r_syntax_folding = 1 and highlight as functions all keywords followed by an opening parenthesis: > let r_syntax_fun_pattern = 1 R MARKDOWN rmd.vim ft-rmd-syntax To disable syntax highlight of YAML header, add to your \|vimrc\|: > let rmd_syn_hl_yaml = 0 To disable syntax highlighting of citation keys: > let rmd_syn_hl_citations = 0 To highlight R code in knitr chunk headers: > let rmd_syn_hl_chunk = 1 By default, chunks of R code will be highlighted following the rules of R language. If you want proper syntax highlighting of chunks of other languages, you should add them to either `markdown_fenced_languages` or `rmd_fenced_languages`. For example to properly highlight both R and Python, you may add this to your \|vimrc\|: > let rmd_fenced_languages = ['r', 'python'] R RESTRUCTURED TEXT rrst.vim ft-rrst-syntax To highlight R code in knitr chunk headers, add to your \|vimrc\|: > let rrst_syn_hl_chunk = 1 READLINE readline.vim ft-readline-syntax The readline library is primarily used by the BASH shell, which adds quite a few commands and options to the ones already available. To highlight these items as well you can add the following to your \|vimrc\| or just type it in the command line before loading a file with the readline syntax: > let readline_has_bash = 1 This will add highlighting for the commands that BASH (version 2.05a and later, and part earlier) adds. REGO rego.vim ft-rego-syntax Rego is a query language developed by Styra. It is mostly used as a policy language for kubernetes, but can be applied to almost anything. Files with the following extensions are recognized as rego files: .rego. RESTRUCTURED TEXT rst.vim ft-rst-syntax Syntax highlighting is enabled for code blocks within the document for a select number of file types. See $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/rst.vim for the default syntax list. To set a user-defined list of code block syntax highlighting: > let rst_syntax_code_list = ['vim', 'lisp', ...] To assign multiple code block types to a single syntax, define `rst_syntax_code_list` as a mapping: > let rst_syntax_code_list = { \ 'cpp': ['cpp', 'c++'], \ 'bash': ['bash', 'sh'], ... \ } To use color highlighting for emphasis text: > let rst_use_emphasis_colors = 1 To enable folding of sections: > let rst_fold_enabled = 1 Note that folding can cause performance issues on some platforms. REXX rexx.vim ft-rexx-syntax If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "rexx_minlines" internal variable to a larger number: > :let rexx_minlines = 50 This will make the syntax synchronization start 50 lines before the first displayed line. The default value is 10. The disadvantage of using a larger number is that redrawing can become slow. Vim tries to guess what type a ".r" file is. If it can't be detected (from comment lines), the default is "r". To make the default rexx add this line to your .vimrc: g:filetype_r > :let g:filetype_r = "r" RUBY ruby.vim ft-ruby-syntax Ruby: Operator highlighting \|ruby_operators\| Ruby: Whitespace errors \|ruby_space_errors\| Ruby: Folding \|ruby_fold\| \|ruby_foldable_groups\| Ruby: Reducing expensive operations \|ruby_no_expensive\| \|ruby_minlines\| Ruby: Spellchecking strings \|ruby_spellcheck_strings\| ruby_operators Ruby: Operator highlighting ~ Operators can be highlighted by defining "ruby_operators": > :let ruby_operators = 1 < ruby_space_errors Ruby: Whitespace errors ~ Whitespace errors can be highlighted by defining "ruby_space_errors": > :let ruby_space_errors = 1 < This will highlight trailing whitespace and tabs preceded by a space character as errors. This can be refined by defining "ruby_no_trail_space_error" and "ruby_no_tab_space_error" which will ignore trailing whitespace and tabs after spaces respectively. ruby_fold ruby_foldable_groups Ruby: Folding ~ Folding can be enabled by defining "ruby_fold": > :let ruby_fold = 1 < This will set the value of 'foldmethod' to "syntax" locally to the current buffer or window, which will enable syntax-based folding when editing Ruby filetypes. Default folding is rather detailed, i.e., small syntax units like "if", "do", "%w[]" may create corresponding fold levels. You can set "ruby_foldable_groups" to restrict which groups are foldable: > :let ruby_foldable_groups = 'if case %' < The value is a space-separated list of keywords: keyword meaning ~ -------- ------------------------------------- ~ ALL Most block syntax (default) NONE Nothing if "if" or "unless" block def "def" block class "class" block module "module" block do "do" block begin "begin" block case "case" block for "for", "while", "until" loops { Curly bracket block or hash literal [ Array literal % Literal with "%" notation, e.g.: %w(STRING), %!STRING! / Regexp string String and shell command output (surrounded by ', ", `) : Symbol # Multiline comment << Here documents __END__ Source code after "__END__" directive ruby_no_expensive Ruby: Reducing expensive operations ~ By default, the "end" keyword is colorized according to the opening statement of the block it closes. While useful, this feature can be expensive; if you experience slow redrawing (or you are on a terminal with poor color support) you may want to turn it off by defining the "ruby_no_expensive" variable: > :let ruby_no_expensive = 1 < In this case the same color will be used for all control keywords. ruby_minlines If you do want this feature enabled, but notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "ruby_minlines" variable to a value larger than 50: > :let ruby_minlines = 100 < Ideally, this value should be a number of lines large enough to embrace your largest class or module. ruby_spellcheck_strings Ruby: Spellchecking strings ~ Ruby syntax will perform spellchecking of strings if you define "ruby_spellcheck_strings": > :let ruby_spellcheck_strings = 1 < SCHEME scheme.vim ft-scheme-syntax By default only R7RS keywords are highlighted and properly indented. scheme.vim also supports extensions of the CHICKEN Scheme->C compiler. Define b:is_chicken or g:is_chicken, if you need them. SDL sdl.vim ft-sdl-syntax The SDL highlighting probably misses a few keywords, but SDL has so many of them it's almost impossibly to cope. The new standard, SDL-2000, specifies that all identifiers are case-sensitive (which was not so before), and that all keywords can be used either completely lowercase or completely uppercase. To have the highlighting reflect this, you can set the following variable: > :let sdl_2000=1 This also sets many new keywords. If you want to disable the old keywords, which is probably a good idea, use: > :let SDL_no_96=1 The indentation is probably also incomplete, but right now I am very satisfied with it for my own projects. SED sed.vim ft-sed-syntax To make tabs stand out from regular blanks (accomplished by using Todo highlighting on the tabs), define "highlight_sedtabs" by putting > :let highlight_sedtabs = 1 in the vimrc file. (This special highlighting only applies for tabs inside search patterns, replacement texts, addresses or text included by an Append/Change/Insert command.) If you enable this option, it is also a good idea to set the tab width to one character; by doing that, you can easily count the number of tabs in a string. Bugs: The transform command (y) is treated exactly like the substitute command. This means that, as far as this syntax file is concerned, transform accepts the same flags as substitute, which is wrong. (Transform accepts no flags.) I tolerate this bug because the involved commands need very complex treatment (95 patterns, one for each plausible pattern delimiter). SGML sgml.vim ft-sgml-syntax The coloring scheme for tags in the SGML file works as follows. The <> of opening tags are colored differently than the </> of a closing tag. This is on purpose! For opening tags the 'Function' color is used, while for closing tags the 'Type' color is used (See syntax.vim to check how those are defined for you) Known tag names are colored the same way as statements in C. Unknown tag names are not colored which makes it easy to spot errors. Note that the same is true for argument (or attribute) names. Known attribute names are colored differently than unknown ones. Some SGML tags are used to change the rendering of text. The following tags are recognized by the sgml.vim syntax coloring file and change the way normal text is shown: <varname> <emphasis> <command> <function> <literal> <replaceable> <ulink> and <link>. If you want to change how such text is rendered, you must redefine the following syntax groups: - sgmlBold - sgmlBoldItalic - sgmlUnderline - sgmlItalic - sgmlLink for links To make this redefinition work you must redefine them all and define the following variable in your vimrc (this is due to the order in which the files are read during initialization) > let sgml_my_rendering=1 You can also disable this rendering by adding the following line to your vimrc file: > let sgml_no_rendering=1 (Adapted from the html.vim help text by Claudio Fleiner <claudio@fleiner.com>) ft-posix-syntax ft-dash-syntax SH sh.vim ft-sh-syntax ft-bash-syntax ft-ksh-syntax This covers syntax highlighting for the older Unix (Bourne) sh, and newer shells such as bash, dash, posix, and the Korn shells. Vim attempts to determine which shell type is in use by specifying that various filenames are of specific types, e.g.: > ksh : .kshrc* .ksh bash: .bashrc bashrc bash.bashrc .bash_profile* .bash < See $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim for the full list of patterns. If none of these cases pertain, then the first line of the file is examined (ex. looking for /bin/sh /bin/ksh /bin/bash). If the first line specifies a shelltype, then that shelltype is used. However some files (ex. .profile) are known to be shell files but the type is not apparent. Furthermore, on many systems sh is symbolically linked to "bash" (Linux, Windows+cygwin) or "ksh" (Posix). One may specify a global default by instantiating one of the following variables in your <.vimrc>: ksh: > let g:is_kornshell = 1 < posix: (using this is nearly the same as setting g:is_kornshell to 1) > let g:is_posix = 1 < bash: > let g:is_bash = 1 < sh: (default) Bourne shell > let g:is_sh = 1 < (dash users should use posix) If there's no "#! ..." line, and the user hasn't availed himself/herself of a default sh.vim syntax setting as just shown, then syntax/sh.vim will assume the Bourne shell syntax. No need to quote RFCs or market penetration statistics in error reports, please -- just select the default version of the sh your system uses and install the associated "let..." in your <.vimrc>. The syntax/sh.vim file provides several levels of syntax-based folding: > let g:sh_fold_enabled= 0 (default, no syntax folding) let g:sh_fold_enabled= 1 (enable function folding) let g:sh_fold_enabled= 2 (enable heredoc folding) let g:sh_fold_enabled= 4 (enable if/do/for folding) > then various syntax items (ie. HereDocuments and function bodies) become syntax-foldable (see \|:syn-fold\|). You also may add these together to get multiple types of folding: > let g:sh_fold_enabled= 3 (enables function and heredoc folding) If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards which are fixed when one redraws with CTRL-L, try setting the "sh_minlines" internal variable to a larger number. Example: > let sh_minlines = 500 This will make syntax synchronization start 500 lines before the first displayed line. The default value is 200. The disadvantage of using a larger number is that redrawing can become slow. If you don't have much to synchronize on, displaying can be very slow. To reduce this, the "sh_maxlines" internal variable can be set. Example: > let sh_maxlines = 100 < The default is to use the twice sh_minlines. Set it to a smaller number to speed up displaying. The disadvantage is that highlight errors may appear. syntax/sh.vim tries to flag certain problems as errors; usually things like extra ']'s, 'done's, 'fi's, etc. If you find the error handling problematic for your purposes, you may suppress such error highlighting by putting the following line in your .vimrc: > let g:sh_no_error= 1 < sh-embed* sh-awk Sh: EMBEDDING LANGUAGES~ You may wish to embed languages into sh. I'll give an example courtesy of Lorance Stinson on how to do this with awk as an example. Put the following file into $HOME/.vim/after/syntax/sh/awkembed.vim: > " AWK Embedding: " ============== " Shamelessly ripped from aspperl.vim by Aaron Hope. if exists("b:current_syntax") unlet b:current_syntax endif syn include @AWKScript syntax/awk.vim syn region AWKScriptCode matchgroup=AWKCommand start=+[=\\]\@<!'+ skip=+\\'+ end=+'+ contains=@AWKScript contained syn region AWKScriptEmbedded matchgroup=AWKCommand start=+\<awk\>+ skip=+\\$+ end=+[=\\]\@<!'+me=e-1 contains=@shIdList,@shExprList2 nextgroup=AWKScriptCode syn cluster shCommandSubList add=AWKScriptEmbedded hi def link AWKCommand Type < This code will then let the awk code in the single quotes: > awk '...awk code here...' be highlighted using the awk highlighting syntax. Clearly this may be extended to other languages. SPEEDUP spup.vim ft-spup-syntax (AspenTech plant simulator) The Speedup syntax file has some options: - strict_subsections : If this variable is defined, only keywords for sections and subsections will be highlighted as statements but not other keywords (like WITHIN in the OPERATION section). - highlight_types : Definition of this variable causes stream types like temperature or pressure to be highlighted as Type, not as a plain Identifier. Included are the types that are usually found in the DECLARE section; if you defined own types, you have to include them in the syntax file. - oneline_comments : this value ranges from 1 to 3 and determines the highlighting of # style comments. oneline_comments = 1 : allow normal Speedup code after an even number of #s. oneline_comments = 2 : show code starting with the second # as error. This is the default setting. oneline_comments = 3 : show the whole line as error if it contains more than one #. Since especially OPERATION sections tend to become very large due to PRESETting variables, syncing may be critical. If your computer is fast enough, you can increase minlines and/or maxlines near the end of the syntax file. SQL sql.vim ft-sql-syntax sqlinformix.vim ft-sqlinformix-syntax sqlanywhere.vim ft-sqlanywhere-syntax While there is an ANSI standard for SQL, most database engines add their own custom extensions. Vim currently supports the Oracle and Informix dialects of SQL. Vim assumes ".sql" files are Oracle SQL by default. Vim currently has SQL support for a variety of different vendors via syntax scripts. You can change Vim's default from Oracle to any of the current SQL supported types. You can also easily alter the SQL dialect being used on a buffer by buffer basis. For more detailed instructions see \|ft_sql.txt\|. TCSH tcsh.vim* ft-tcsh-syntax This covers the shell named "tcsh". It is a superset of csh. See \|csh.vim\| for how the filetype is detected. Tcsh does not allow \" in strings unless the "backslash_quote" shell variable is set. If you want VIM to assume that no backslash quote constructs exist add this line to your .vimrc: > :let tcsh_backslash_quote = 0 If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "tcsh_minlines" internal variable to a larger number: > :let tcsh_minlines = 1000 This will make the syntax synchronization start 1000 lines before the first displayed line. If you set "tcsh_minlines" to "fromstart", then synchronization is done from the start of the file. The default value for tcsh_minlines is 100. The disadvantage of using a larger number is that redrawing can become slow. TEX tex.vim ft-tex-syntax latex-syntax syntax-tex syntax-latex Tex Contents~ Tex: Want Syntax Folding? \|tex-folding\| Tex: No Spell Checking Wanted \|g:tex_nospell\| Tex: Don't Want Spell Checking In Comments? \|tex-nospell\| Tex: Want Spell Checking in Verbatim Zones? \|tex-verb\| Tex: Run-on Comments or MathZones \|tex-runon\| Tex: Slow Syntax Highlighting? \|tex-slow\| Tex: Want To Highlight More Commands? \|tex-morecommands\| Tex: Excessive Error Highlighting? \|tex-error\| Tex: Need a new Math Group? \|tex-math\| Tex: Starting a New Style? \|tex-style\| Tex: Taking Advantage of Conceal Mode \|tex-conceal\| Tex: Selective Conceal Mode \|g:tex_conceal\| Tex: Controlling iskeyword \|g:tex_isk\| Tex: Fine Subscript and Superscript Control \|tex-supersub\| Tex: Match Check Control \|tex-matchcheck\| tex-folding g:tex_fold_enabled Tex: Want Syntax Folding? ~ As of version 28 of <syntax/tex.vim>, syntax-based folding of parts, chapters, sections, subsections, etc are supported. Put > let g:tex_fold_enabled=1 in your <.vimrc>, and :set fdm=syntax. I suggest doing the latter via a modeline at the end of your LaTeX file: > % vim: fdm=syntax If your system becomes too slow, then you might wish to look into > https://vimhelp.org/vim_faq.txt.html#faq-29.7 < g:tex_nospell Tex: No Spell Checking Wanted~ If you don't want spell checking anywhere in your LaTeX document, put > let g:tex_nospell=1 into your .vimrc. If you merely wish to suppress spell checking inside comments only, see \|g:tex_comment_nospell\|. tex-nospell g:tex_comment_nospell Tex: Don't Want Spell Checking In Comments? ~ Some folks like to include things like source code in comments and so would prefer that spell checking be disabled in comments in LaTeX files. To do this, put the following in your <.vimrc>: > let g:tex_comment_nospell= 1 If you want to suppress spell checking everywhere inside your LaTeX document, see \|g:tex_nospell\|. tex-verb g:tex_verbspell Tex: Want Spell Checking in Verbatim Zones?~ Often verbatim regions are used for things like source code; seldom does one want source code spell-checked. However, for those of you who do want your verbatim zones spell-checked, put the following in your <.vimrc>: > let g:tex_verbspell= 1 < tex-runon tex-stopzone Tex: Run-on Comments or MathZones ~ The <syntax/tex.vim> highlighting supports TeX, LaTeX, and some AmsTeX. The highlighting supports three primary zones/regions: normal, texZone, and texMathZone. Although considerable effort has been made to have these zones terminate properly, zones delineated by $..$ and $$..$$ cannot be synchronized as there's no difference between start and end patterns. Consequently, a special "TeX comment" has been provided > %stopzone which will forcibly terminate the highlighting of either a texZone or a texMathZone. tex-slow tex-sync Tex: Slow Syntax Highlighting? ~ If you have a slow computer, you may wish to reduce the values for > :syn sync maxlines=200 :syn sync minlines=50 (especially the latter). If your computer is fast, you may wish to increase them. This primarily affects synchronizing (i.e. just what group, if any, is the text at the top of the screen supposed to be in?). Another cause of slow highlighting is due to syntax-driven folding; see \|tex-folding\| for a way around this. g:tex_fast Finally, if syntax highlighting is still too slow, you may set > :let g:tex_fast= "" in your .vimrc. Used this way, the g:tex_fast variable causes the syntax highlighting script to avoid defining any regions and associated synchronization. The result will be much faster syntax highlighting; the price: you will no longer have as much highlighting or any syntax-based folding, and you will be missing syntax-based error checking. You may decide that some syntax is acceptable; you may use the following table selectively to enable just some syntax highlighting: > b : allow bold and italic syntax c : allow texComment syntax m : allow texMatcher syntax (ie. {...} and [...]) M : allow texMath syntax p : allow parts, chapter, section, etc syntax r : allow texRefZone syntax (nocite, bibliography, label, pageref, eqref) s : allow superscript/subscript regions S : allow texStyle syntax v : allow verbatim syntax V : allow texNewEnv and texNewCmd syntax < As an example, let g:tex_fast= "M" will allow math-associated highlighting but suppress all the other region-based syntax highlighting. (also see: \|g:tex_conceal\| and \|tex-supersub\|) tex-morecommands tex-package Tex: Want To Highlight More Commands? ~ LaTeX is a programmable language, and so there are thousands of packages full of specialized LaTeX commands, syntax, and fonts. If you're using such a package you'll often wish that the distributed syntax/tex.vim would support it. However, clearly this is impractical. So please consider using the techniques in \|mysyntaxfile-add\| to extend or modify the highlighting provided by syntax/tex.vim. Please consider uploading any extensions that you write, which typically would go in $HOME/after/syntax/tex/[pkgname].vim, to http://vim.sf.net/. I've included some support for various popular packages on my website: > http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#LATEXPKGS < The syntax files there go into your .../after/syntax/tex/ directory. tex-error g:tex_no_error Tex: Excessive Error Highlighting? ~ The <tex.vim> supports lexical error checking of various sorts. Thus, although the error checking is ofttimes very useful, it can indicate errors where none actually are. If this proves to be a problem for you, you may put in your <.vimrc> the following statement: > let g:tex_no_error=1 and all error checking by <syntax/tex.vim> will be suppressed. tex-math Tex: Need a new Math Group? ~ If you want to include a new math group in your LaTeX, the following code shows you an example as to how you might do so: > call TexNewMathZone(sfx,mathzone,starform) You'll want to provide the new math group with a unique suffix (currently, A-L and V-Z are taken by <syntax/tex.vim> itself). As an example, consider how eqnarray is set up by <syntax/tex.vim>: > call TexNewMathZone("D","eqnarray",1) You'll need to change "mathzone" to the name of your new math group, and then to the call to it in .vim/after/syntax/tex.vim. The "starform" variable, if true, implies that your new math group has a starred form (ie. eqnarray). tex-style* b:tex_stylish Tex: Starting a New Style? ~ One may use "\makeatletter" in .tex files, thereby making the use of "@" in commands available. However, since the .tex file doesn't have one of the following suffices: sty cls clo dtx ltx, the syntax highlighting will flag such use of @ as an error. To solve this: > :let b:tex_stylish = 1 :set ft=tex Putting "let g:tex_stylish=1" into your <.vimrc> will make <syntax/tex.vim> always accept such use of @. tex-cchar tex-cole tex-conceal Tex: Taking Advantage of Conceal Mode~ If you have \|'conceallevel'\| set to 2 and if your encoding is utf-8, then a number of character sequences can be translated into appropriate utf-8 glyphs, including various accented characters, Greek characters in MathZones, and superscripts and subscripts in MathZones. Not all characters can be made into superscripts or subscripts; the constraint is due to what utf-8 supports. In fact, only a few characters are supported as subscripts. One way to use this is to have vertically split windows (see \|CTRL-W_v\|); one with \|'conceallevel'\| at 0 and the other at 2; and both using \|'scrollbind'\|. g:tex_conceal Tex: Selective Conceal Mode~ You may selectively use conceal mode by setting g:tex_conceal in your <.vimrc>. By default, g:tex_conceal is set to "admgs" to enable concealment for the following sets of characters: > a = accents/ligatures b = bold and italic d = delimiters m = math symbols g = Greek s = superscripts/subscripts < By leaving one or more of these out, the associated conceal-character substitution will not be made. g:tex_isk g:tex_stylish Tex: Controlling iskeyword~ Normally, LaTeX keywords support 0-9, a-z, A-z, and 192-255 only. Latex keywords don't support the underscore - except when in .sty files. The syntax highlighting script handles this with the following logic: If g:tex_stylish exists and is 1 then the file will be treated as a "sty" file, so the "_" will be allowed as part of keywords (regardless of g:tex_isk) * Else if the file's suffix is sty, cls, clo, dtx, or ltx, then the file will be treated as a "sty" file, so the "_" will be allowed as part of keywords (regardless of g:tex_isk) * If g:tex_isk exists, then it will be used for the local 'iskeyword' * Else the local 'iskeyword' will be set to 48-57,a-z,A-Z,192-255 tex-supersub g:tex_superscripts g:tex_subscripts Tex: Fine Subscript and Superscript Control~ See \|tex-conceal\| for how to enable concealed character replacement. See \|g:tex_conceal\| for selectively concealing accents, bold/italic, math, Greek, and superscripts/subscripts. One may exert fine control over which superscripts and subscripts one wants syntax-based concealment for (see \|:syn-cchar\|). Since not all fonts support all characters, one may override the concealed-replacement lists; by default these lists are given by: > let g:tex_superscripts= "[0-9a-zA-W.,:;+-<>/()=]" let g:tex_subscripts= "[0-9aehijklmnoprstuvx,+-/().]" < For example, I use Luxi Mono Bold; it doesn't support subscript characters for "hklmnpst", so I put > let g:tex_subscripts= "[0-9aeijoruvx,+-/().]" < in ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex/tex.vim in order to avoid having inscrutable utf-8 glyphs appear. tex-matchcheck g:tex_matchcheck Tex: Match Check Control~ Sometimes one actually wants mismatched parentheses, square braces, and or curly braces; for example, \text{(1,10] is a range from but not including 1 to and including 10}. This wish, of course, conflicts with the desire to provide delimiter mismatch detection. To accommodate these conflicting goals, syntax/tex.vim provides > g:tex_matchcheck = '[({[]' < which is shown along with its default setting. So, if one doesn't want [] and () to be checked for mismatches, try using > let g:tex_matchcheck= '[{}]' < If you don't want matching to occur inside bold and italicized regions, > let g:tex_excludematcher= 1 < will prevent the texMatcher group from being included in those regions. TF tf.vim ft-tf-syntax There is one option for the tf syntax highlighting. For syncing, minlines defaults to 100. If you prefer another value, you can set "tf_minlines" to the value you desire. Example: > :let tf_minlines = your choice < VIM vim.vim ft-vim-syntax g:vimsyn_minlines g:vimsyn_maxlines There is a trade-off between more accurate syntax highlighting versus screen updating speed. To improve accuracy, you may wish to increase the g:vimsyn_minlines variable. The g:vimsyn_maxlines variable may be used to improve screen updating rates (see \|:syn-sync\| for more on this). > g:vimsyn_minlines : used to set synchronization minlines g:vimsyn_maxlines : used to set synchronization maxlines < (g:vim_minlines and g:vim_maxlines are deprecated variants of these two options) g:vimsyn_embed The g:vimsyn_embed option allows users to select what, if any, types of embedded script highlighting they wish to have. > g:vimsyn_embed == 0 : don't support any embedded scripts g:vimsyn_embed =~ 'l' : support embedded lua g:vimsyn_embed =~ 'm' : support embedded mzscheme g:vimsyn_embed =~ 'p' : support embedded perl g:vimsyn_embed =~ 'P' : support embedded python g:vimsyn_embed =~ 'r' : support embedded ruby g:vimsyn_embed =~ 't' : support embedded tcl < By default, g:vimsyn_embed is a string supporting interpreters that your vim itself supports. Concatenate multiple characters to support multiple types of embedded interpreters; ie. g:vimsyn_embed= "mp" supports embedded mzscheme and embedded perl. g:vimsyn_folding Some folding is now supported with syntax/vim.vim: > g:vimsyn_folding == 0 or doesn't exist: no syntax-based folding g:vimsyn_folding =~ 'a' : augroups g:vimsyn_folding =~ 'f' : fold functions g:vimsyn_folding =~ 'l' : fold lua script g:vimsyn_folding =~ 'm' : fold mzscheme script g:vimsyn_folding =~ 'p' : fold perl script g:vimsyn_folding =~ 'P' : fold python script g:vimsyn_folding =~ 'r' : fold ruby script g:vimsyn_folding =~ 't' : fold tcl script < g:vimsyn_noerror Not all error highlighting that syntax/vim.vim does may be correct; Vim script is a difficult language to highlight correctly. A way to suppress error highlighting is to put the following line in your \|vimrc\|: > let g:vimsyn_noerror = 1 < XF86CONFIG xf86conf.vim ft-xf86conf-syntax The syntax of XF86Config file differs in XFree86 v3.x and v4.x. Both variants are supported. Automatic detection is used, but is far from perfect. You may need to specify the version manually. Set the variable xf86conf_xfree86_version to 3 or 4 according to your XFree86 version in your .vimrc. Example: > :let xf86conf_xfree86_version=3 When using a mix of versions, set the b:xf86conf_xfree86_version variable. Note that spaces and underscores in option names are not supported. Use "SyncOnGreen" instead of "__s yn con gr_e_e_n" if you want the option name highlighted. XML xml.vim ft-xml-syntax Xml namespaces are highlighted by default. This can be inhibited by setting a global variable: > :let g:xml_namespace_transparent=1 < xml-folding The xml syntax file provides syntax \|folding\| (see \|:syn-fold\|) between start and end tags. This can be turned on by > :let g:xml_syntax_folding = 1 :set foldmethod=syntax Note: syntax folding might slow down syntax highlighting significantly, especially for large files. X Pixmaps (XPM) xpm.vim ft-xpm-syntax xpm.vim creates its syntax items dynamically based upon the contents of the XPM file. Thus if you make changes e.g. in the color specification strings, you have to source it again e.g. with ":set syn=xpm". To copy a pixel with one of the colors, yank a "pixel" with "yl" and insert it somewhere else with "P". Do you want to draw with the mouse? Try the following: > :function! GetPixel() : let c = getline(".")[col(".") - 1] : echo c : exe "noremap <LeftMouse> <LeftMouse>r".c : exe "noremap <LeftDrag> <LeftMouse>r".c :endfunction :noremap <RightMouse> <LeftMouse>:call GetPixel()<CR> :set guicursor=n:hor20 " to see the color beneath the cursor This turns the right button into a pipette and the left button into a pen. It will work with XPM files that have one character per pixel only and you must not click outside of the pixel strings, but feel free to improve it. It will look much better with a font in a quadratic cell size, e.g. for X: > :set guifont=--clean-medium-r---8-----80- YAML yaml.vim ft-yaml-syntax g:yaml_schema b:yaml_schema A YAML schema is a combination of a set of tags and a mechanism for resolving non-specific tags. For user this means that YAML parser may, depending on plain scalar contents, treat plain scalar (which can actually be only string and nothing else) as a value of the other type: null, boolean, floating-point, integer. `g:yaml_schema` option determines according to which schema values will be highlighted specially. Supported schemas are Schema Description ~ failsafe No additional highlighting. json Supports JSON-style numbers, booleans and null. core Supports more number, boolean and null styles. pyyaml In addition to core schema supports highlighting timestamps, but there are some differences in what is recognized as numbers and many additional boolean values not present in core schema. Default schema is `core`. Note that schemas are not actually limited to plain scalars, but this is the only difference between schemas defined in YAML specification and the only difference defined in the syntax file. ZSH zsh.vim ft-zsh-syntax The syntax script for zsh allows for syntax-based folding: > :let g:zsh_fold_enable = 1 ============================================================================== 6. Defining a syntax :syn-define E410 Vim understands three types of syntax items: 1. Keyword It can only contain keyword characters, according to the 'iskeyword' option. It cannot contain other syntax items. It will only match with a complete word (there are no keyword characters before or after the match). The keyword "if" would match in "if(a=b)", but not in "ifdef x", because "(" is not a keyword character and "d" is. 2. Match This is a match with a single regexp pattern. 3. Region This starts at a match of the "start" regexp pattern and ends with a match with the "end" regexp pattern. Any other text can appear in between. A "skip" regexp pattern can be used to avoid matching the "end" pattern. Several syntax ITEMs can be put into one syntax GROUP. For a syntax group you can give highlighting attributes. For example, you could have an item to define a "/* .. /" comment and another one that defines a "// .." comment, and put them both in the "Comment" group. You can then specify that a "Comment" will be in bold font and have a blue color. You are free to make one highlight group for one syntax item, or put all items into one group. This depends on how you want to specify your highlighting attributes. Putting each item in its own group results in having to specify the highlighting for a lot of groups. Note that a syntax group and a highlight group are similar. For a highlight group you will have given highlight attributes. These attributes will be used for the syntax group with the same name. In case more than one item matches at the same position, the one that was defined LAST wins. Thus you can override previously defined syntax items by using an item that matches the same text. But a keyword always goes before a match or region. And a keyword with matching case always goes before a keyword with ignoring case. PRIORITY :syn-priority* When several syntax items may match, these rules are used: 1. When multiple Match or Region items start in the same position, the item defined last has priority. 2. A Keyword has priority over Match and Region items. 3. An item that starts in an earlier position has priority over items that start in later positions. DEFINING CASE :syn-case E390 :sy[ntax] case [match \| ignore] This defines if the following ":syntax" commands will work with matching case, when using "match", or with ignoring case, when using "ignore". Note that any items before this are not affected, and all items until the next ":syntax case" command are affected. :sy[ntax] case Show either "syntax case match" or "syntax case ignore" (translated). DEFINING FOLDLEVEL :syn-foldlevel :sy[ntax] foldlevel [start \| minimum] This defines how the foldlevel of a line is computed when using foldmethod=syntax (see \|fold-syntax\| and \|:syn-fold\|): start: Use level of item containing start of line. minimum: Use lowest local-minimum level of items on line. The default is "start". Use "minimum" to search a line horizontally for the lowest level contained on the line that is followed by a higher level. This produces more natural folds when syntax items may close and open horizontally within a line. :sy[ntax] foldlevel Show either "syntax foldlevel start" or "syntax foldlevel minimum". {not meaningful when Vim was compiled without \|+folding\| feature} SPELL CHECKING :syn-spell :sy[ntax] spell [toplevel \| notoplevel \| default] This defines where spell checking is to be done for text that is not in a syntax item: toplevel: Text is spell checked. notoplevel: Text is not spell checked. default: When there is a @Spell cluster no spell checking. For text in syntax items use the @Spell and @NoSpell clusters \|spell-syntax\|. When there is no @Spell and no @NoSpell cluster then spell checking is done for "default" and "toplevel". To activate spell checking the 'spell' option must be set. :sy[ntax] spell Show either "syntax spell toplevel", "syntax spell notoplevel" or "syntax spell default" (translated). SYNTAX ISKEYWORD SETTING :syn-iskeyword :sy[ntax] iskeyword [clear \| {option}] This defines the keyword characters. It's like the 'iskeyword' option for but only applies to syntax highlighting. clear: Syntax specific iskeyword setting is disabled and the buffer-local 'iskeyword' setting is used. {option} Set the syntax 'iskeyword' option to a new value. Example: > :syntax iskeyword @,48-57,192-255,$,_ < This would set the syntax specific iskeyword option to include all alphabetic characters, plus the numeric characters, all accented characters and also includes the "_" and the "$". If no argument is given, the current value will be output. Setting this option influences what \|/\k\| matches in syntax patterns and also determines where \|:syn-keyword\| will be checked for a new match. It is recommended when writing syntax files, to use this command to set the correct value for the specific syntax language and not change the 'iskeyword' option. DEFINING KEYWORDS :syn-keyword :sy[ntax] keyword {group-name} [{options}] {keyword} .. [{options}] This defines a number of keywords. {group-name} Is a syntax group name such as "Comment". [{options}] See \|:syn-arguments\| below. {keyword} .. Is a list of keywords which are part of this group. Example: > :syntax keyword Type int long char < The {options} can be given anywhere in the line. They will apply to all keywords given, also for options that come after a keyword. These examples do exactly the same: > :syntax keyword Type contained int long char :syntax keyword Type int long contained char :syntax keyword Type int long char contained < E789 E890 When you have a keyword with an optional tail, like Ex commands in Vim, you can put the optional characters inside [], to define all the variations at once: > :syntax keyword vimCommand ab[breviate] n[ext] < Don't forget that a keyword can only be recognized if all the characters are included in the 'iskeyword' option. If one character isn't, the keyword will never be recognized. Multi-byte characters can also be used. These do not have to be in 'iskeyword'. See \|:syn-iskeyword\| for defining syntax specific iskeyword settings. A keyword always has higher priority than a match or region, the keyword is used if more than one item matches. Keywords do not nest and a keyword can't contain anything else. Note that when you have a keyword that is the same as an option (even one that isn't allowed here), you can not use it. Use a match instead. The maximum length of a keyword is 80 characters. The same keyword can be defined multiple times, when its containment differs. For example, you can define the keyword once not contained and use one highlight group, and once contained, and use a different highlight group. Example: > :syn keyword vimCommand tag :syn keyword vimSetting contained tag < When finding "tag" outside of any syntax item, the "vimCommand" highlight group is used. When finding "tag" in a syntax item that contains "vimSetting", the "vimSetting" group is used. DEFINING MATCHES :syn-match :sy[ntax] match {group-name} [{options}] [excludenl] [keepend] {pattern} [{options}] This defines one match. {group-name} A syntax group name such as "Comment". [{options}] See \|:syn-arguments\| below. [excludenl] Don't make a pattern with the end-of-line "$" extend a containing match or region. Must be given before the pattern. \|:syn-excludenl\| keepend Don't allow contained matches to go past a match with the end pattern. See \|:syn-keepend\|. {pattern} The search pattern that defines the match. See \|:syn-pattern\| below. Note that the pattern may match more than one line, which makes the match depend on where Vim starts searching for the pattern. You need to make sure syncing takes care of this. Example (match a character constant): > :syntax match Character /'.'/hs=s+1,he=e-1 < DEFINING REGIONS :syn-region :syn-start :syn-skip :syn-end E398 E399 :sy[ntax] region {group-name} [{options}] [matchgroup={group-name}] [keepend] [extend] [excludenl] start={start-pattern} .. [skip={skip-pattern}] end={end-pattern} .. [{options}] This defines one region. It may span several lines. {group-name} A syntax group name such as "Comment". [{options}] See \|:syn-arguments\| below. [matchgroup={group-name}] The syntax group to use for the following start or end pattern matches only. Not used for the text in between the matched start and end patterns. Use NONE to reset to not using a different group for the start or end match. See \|:syn-matchgroup\|. keepend Don't allow contained matches to go past a match with the end pattern. See \|:syn-keepend\|. extend Override a "keepend" for an item this region is contained in. See \|:syn-extend\|. excludenl Don't make a pattern with the end-of-line "$" extend a containing match or item. Only useful for end patterns. Must be given before the patterns it applies to. \|:syn-excludenl\| start={start-pattern} The search pattern that defines the start of the region. See \|:syn-pattern\| below. skip={skip-pattern} The search pattern that defines text inside the region where not to look for the end pattern. See \|:syn-pattern\| below. end={end-pattern} The search pattern that defines the end of the region. See \|:syn-pattern\| below. Example: > :syntax region String start=+"+ skip=+\\"+ end=+"+ < The start/skip/end patterns and the options can be given in any order. There can be zero or one skip pattern. There must be one or more start and end patterns. This means that you can omit the skip pattern, but you must give at least one start and one end pattern. It is allowed to have white space before and after the equal sign (although it mostly looks better without white space). When more than one start pattern is given, a match with one of these is sufficient. This means there is an OR relation between the start patterns. The last one that matches is used. The same is true for the end patterns. The search for the end pattern starts right after the start pattern. Offsets are not used for this. This implies that the match for the end pattern will never overlap with the start pattern. The skip and end pattern can match across line breaks, but since the search for the pattern can start in any line it often does not do what you want. The skip pattern doesn't avoid a match of an end pattern in the next line. Use single-line patterns to avoid trouble. Note: The decision to start a region is only based on a matching start pattern. There is no check for a matching end pattern. This does NOT work: > :syn region First start="(" end=":" :syn region Second start="(" end=";" < The Second always matches before the First (last defined pattern has higher priority). The Second region then continues until the next ';', no matter if there is a ':' before it. Using a match does work: > :syn match First "(\_.\{-}:" :syn match Second "(\_.\{-};" < This pattern matches any character or line break with "\_." and repeats that with "\{-}" (repeat as few as possible). :syn-keepend By default, a contained match can obscure a match for the end pattern. This is useful for nesting. For example, a region that starts with "{" and ends with "}", can contain another region. An encountered "}" will then end the contained region, but not the outer region: { starts outer "{}" region { starts contained "{}" region } ends contained "{}" region } ends outer "{} region If you don't want this, the "keepend" argument will make the matching of an end pattern of the outer region also end any contained item. This makes it impossible to nest the same region, but allows for contained items to highlight parts of the end pattern, without causing that to skip the match with the end pattern. Example: > :syn match vimComment +"[^"]\+$+ :syn region vimCommand start="set" end="$" contains=vimComment keepend < The "keepend" makes the vimCommand always end at the end of the line, even though the contained vimComment includes a match with the <EOL>. When "keepend" is not used, a match with an end pattern is retried after each contained match. When "keepend" is included, the first encountered match with an end pattern is used, truncating any contained matches. :syn-extend The "keepend" behavior can be changed by using the "extend" argument. When an item with "extend" is contained in an item that uses "keepend", the "keepend" is ignored and the containing region will be extended. This can be used to have some contained items extend a region while others don't. Example: > :syn region htmlRef start=+<a>+ end=+</a>+ keepend contains=htmlItem,htmlScript :syn match htmlItem +<[^>]>+ contained :syn region htmlScript start=+<script+ end=+</script[^>]>+ contained extend < Here the htmlItem item does not make the htmlRef item continue further, it is only used to highlight the <> items. The htmlScript item does extend the htmlRef item. Another example: > :syn region xmlFold start="<a>" end="</a>" fold transparent keepend extend < This defines a region with "keepend", so that its end cannot be changed by contained items, like when the "</a>" is matched to highlight it differently. But when the xmlFold region is nested (it includes itself), the "extend" applies, so that the "</a>" of a nested region only ends that region, and not the one it is contained in. :syn-excludenl When a pattern for a match or end pattern of a region includes a '$' to match the end-of-line, it will make a region item that it is contained in continue on the next line. For example, a match with "\\$" (backslash at the end of the line) can make a region continue that would normally stop at the end of the line. This is the default behavior. If this is not wanted, there are two ways to avoid it: 1. Use "keepend" for the containing item. This will keep all contained matches from extending the match or region. It can be used when all contained items must not extend the containing item. 2. Use "excludenl" in the contained item. This will keep that match from extending the containing match or region. It can be used if only some contained items must not extend the containing item. "excludenl" must be given before the pattern it applies to. :syn-matchgroup "matchgroup" can be used to highlight the start and/or end pattern differently than the body of the region. Example: > :syntax region String matchgroup=Quote start=+"+ skip=+\\"+ end=+"+ < This will highlight the quotes with the "Quote" group, and the text in between with the "String" group. The "matchgroup" is used for all start and end patterns that follow, until the next "matchgroup". Use "matchgroup=NONE" to go back to not using a matchgroup. In a start or end pattern that is highlighted with "matchgroup" the contained items of the region are not used. This can be used to avoid that a contained item matches in the start or end pattern match. When using "transparent", this does not apply to a start or end pattern match that is highlighted with "matchgroup". Here is an example, which highlights three levels of parentheses in different colors: > :sy region par1 matchgroup=par1 start=/(/ end=/)/ contains=par2 :sy region par2 matchgroup=par2 start=/(/ end=/)/ contains=par3 contained :sy region par3 matchgroup=par3 start=/(/ end=/)/ contains=par1 contained :hi par1 ctermfg=red guifg=red :hi par2 ctermfg=blue guifg=blue :hi par3 ctermfg=darkgreen guifg=darkgreen < E849 The maximum number of syntax groups is 19999. ============================================================================== 7. :syntax arguments :syn-arguments The :syntax commands that define syntax items take a number of arguments. The common ones are explained here. The arguments may be given in any order and may be mixed with patterns. Not all commands accept all arguments. This table shows which arguments can not be used for all commands: E395 contains oneline fold display extend concealends~ :syntax keyword - - - - - - :syntax match yes - yes yes yes - :syntax region yes yes yes yes yes yes These arguments can be used for all three commands: conceal cchar contained containedin nextgroup transparent skipwhite skipnl skipempty conceal conceal :syn-conceal When the "conceal" argument is given, the item is marked as concealable. Whether or not it is actually concealed depends on the value of the 'conceallevel' option. The 'concealcursor' option is used to decide whether concealable items in the current line are displayed unconcealed to be able to edit the line. Another way to conceal text is with \|matchadd()\|. concealends :syn-concealends When the "concealends" argument is given, the start and end matches of the region, but not the contents of the region, are marked as concealable. Whether or not they are actually concealed depends on the setting on the 'conceallevel' option. The ends of a region can only be concealed separately in this way when they have their own highlighting via "matchgroup" cchar :syn-cchar E844 The "cchar" argument defines the character shown in place of the item when it is concealed (setting "cchar" only makes sense when the conceal argument is given.) If "cchar" is not set then the default conceal character defined in the 'listchars' option is used. The character cannot be a control character such as Tab. Example: > :syntax match Entity "&" conceal cchar=& See \|hl-Conceal\| for highlighting. contained :syn-contained When the "contained" argument is given, this item will not be recognized at the top level, but only when it is mentioned in the "contains" field of another match. Example: > :syntax keyword Todo TODO contained :syntax match Comment "//." contains=Todo display :syn-display* If the "display" argument is given, this item will be skipped when the detected highlighting will not be displayed. This will speed up highlighting, by skipping this item when only finding the syntax state for the text that is to be displayed. Generally, you can use "display" for match and region items that meet these conditions: - The item does not continue past the end of a line. Example for C: A region for a "/" comment can't contain "display", because it continues on the next line. - The item does not contain items that continue past the end of the line or make it continue on the next line. - The item does not change the size of any item it is contained in. Example for C: A match with "\\$" in a preprocessor match can't have "display", because it may make that preprocessor match shorter. - The item does not allow other items to match that didn't match otherwise, and that item may extend the match too far. Example for C: A match for a "//" comment can't use "display", because a "/" inside that comment would match then and start a comment which extends past the end of the line. Examples, for the C language, where "display" can be used: - match with a number - match with a label transparent :syn-transparent If the "transparent" argument is given, this item will not be highlighted itself, but will take the highlighting of the item it is contained in. This is useful for syntax items that don't need any highlighting but are used only to skip over a part of the text. The "contains=" argument is also inherited from the item it is contained in, unless a "contains" argument is given for the transparent item itself. To avoid that unwanted items are contained, use "contains=NONE". Example, which highlights words in strings, but makes an exception for "vim": > :syn match myString /'[^']'/ contains=myWord,myVim :syn match myWord /\<[a-z]\>/ contained :syn match myVim /\<vim\>/ transparent contained contains=NONE :hi link myString String :hi link myWord Comment Since the "myVim" match comes after "myWord" it is the preferred match (last match in the same position overrules an earlier one). The "transparent" argument makes the "myVim" match use the same highlighting as "myString". But it does not contain anything. If the "contains=NONE" argument would be left out, then "myVim" would use the contains argument from myString and allow "myWord" to be contained, which will be highlighted as a Constant. This happens because a contained match doesn't match inside itself in the same position, thus the "myVim" match doesn't overrule the "myWord" match here. When you look at the colored text, it is like looking at layers of contained items. The contained item is on top of the item it is contained in, thus you see the contained item. When a contained item is transparent, you can look through, thus you see the item it is contained in. In a picture: look from here \| \| \| \| \| \| V V V V V V xxxx yyy more contained items .................... contained item (transparent) ============================= first item The 'x', 'y' and '=' represent a highlighted syntax item. The '.' represent a transparent group. What you see is: =======xxxx=======yyy======== Thus you look through the transparent "....". oneline :syn-oneline The "oneline" argument indicates that the region does not cross a line boundary. It must match completely in the current line. However, when the region has a contained item that does cross a line boundary, it continues on the next line anyway. A contained item can be used to recognize a line continuation pattern. But the "end" pattern must still match in the first line, otherwise the region doesn't even start. When the start pattern includes a "\n" to match an end-of-line, the end pattern must be found in the same line as where the start pattern ends. The end pattern may also include an end-of-line. Thus the "oneline" argument means that the end of the start pattern and the start of the end pattern must be within one line. This can't be changed by a skip pattern that matches a line break. fold :syn-fold The "fold" argument makes the fold level increase by one for this item. Example: > :syn region myFold start="{" end="}" transparent fold :syn sync fromstart :set foldmethod=syntax This will make each {} block form one fold. The fold will start on the line where the item starts, and end where the item ends. If the start and end are within the same line, there is no fold. The 'foldnestmax' option limits the nesting of syntax folds. See \|:syn-foldlevel\| to control how the foldlevel of a line is computed from its syntax items. {not available when Vim was compiled without \|+folding\| feature} :syn-contains E405 E406 E407 E408 E409 contains={group-name},.. The "contains" argument is followed by a list of syntax group names. These groups will be allowed to begin inside the item (they may extend past the containing group's end). This allows for recursive nesting of matches and regions. If there is no "contains" argument, no groups will be contained in this item. The group names do not need to be defined before they can be used here. contains=ALL If the only item in the contains list is "ALL", then all groups will be accepted inside the item. contains=ALLBUT,{group-name},.. If the first item in the contains list is "ALLBUT", then all groups will be accepted inside the item, except the ones that are listed. Example: > :syntax region Block start="{" end="}" ... contains=ALLBUT,Function contains=TOP If the first item in the contains list is "TOP", then all groups will be accepted that don't have the "contained" argument. contains=TOP,{group-name},.. Like "TOP", but excluding the groups that are listed. contains=CONTAINED If the first item in the contains list is "CONTAINED", then all groups will be accepted that have the "contained" argument. contains=CONTAINED,{group-name},.. Like "CONTAINED", but excluding the groups that are listed. The {group-name} in the "contains" list can be a pattern. All group names that match the pattern will be included (or excluded, if "ALLBUT" is used). The pattern cannot contain white space or a ','. Example: > ... contains=Comment.,Keyw[0-3] The matching will be done at moment the syntax command is executed. Groups that are defined later will not be matched. Also, if the current syntax command defines a new group, it is not matched. Be careful: When putting syntax commands in a file you can't rely on groups NOT being defined, because the file may have been sourced before, and ":syn clear" doesn't remove the group names. The contained groups will also match in the start and end patterns of a region. If this is not wanted, the "matchgroup" argument can be used \|:syn-matchgroup\|. The "ms=" and "me=" offsets can be used to change the region where contained items do match. Note that this may also limit the area that is highlighted containedin={group-name}... :syn-containedin* The "containedin" argument is followed by a list of syntax group names. The item will be allowed to begin inside these groups. This works as if the containing item has a "contains=" argument that includes this item. The {group-name}... can be used just like for "contains", as explained above. This is useful when adding a syntax item afterwards. An item can be told to be included inside an already existing item, without changing the definition of that item. For example, to highlight a word in a C comment after loading the C syntax: > :syn keyword myword HELP containedin=cComment contained Note that "contained" is also used, to avoid that the item matches at the top level. Matches for "containedin" are added to the other places where the item can appear. A "contains" argument may also be added as usual. Don't forget that keywords never contain another item, thus adding them to "containedin" won't work. nextgroup={group-name},.. :syn-nextgroup The "nextgroup" argument is followed by a list of syntax group names, separated by commas (just like with "contains", so you can also use patterns). If the "nextgroup" argument is given, the mentioned syntax groups will be tried for a match, after the match or region ends. If none of the groups have a match, highlighting continues normally. If there is a match, this group will be used, even when it is not mentioned in the "contains" field of the current group. This is like giving the mentioned group priority over all other groups. Example: > :syntax match ccFoobar "Foo.\{-}Bar" contains=ccFoo :syntax match ccFoo "Foo" contained nextgroup=ccFiller :syntax region ccFiller start="." matchgroup=ccBar end="Bar" contained This will highlight "Foo" and "Bar" differently, and only when there is a "Bar" after "Foo". In the text line below, "f" shows where ccFoo is used for highlighting, and "bbb" where ccBar is used. > Foo asdfasd Bar asdf Foo asdf Bar asdf fff bbb fff bbb Note the use of ".\{-}" to skip as little as possible until the next Bar. when "." would be used, the "asdf" in between "Bar" and "Foo" would be highlighted according to the "ccFoobar" group, because the ccFooBar match would include the first "Foo" and the last "Bar" in the line (see \|pattern\|). skipwhite :syn-skipwhite* skipnl :syn-skipnl skipempty :syn-skipempty These arguments are only used in combination with "nextgroup". They can be used to allow the next group to match after skipping some text: skipwhite skip over space and tab characters skipnl skip over the end of a line skipempty skip over empty lines (implies a "skipnl") When "skipwhite" is present, the white space is only skipped if there is no next group that matches the white space. When "skipnl" is present, the match with nextgroup may be found in the next line. This only happens when the current item ends at the end of the current line! When "skipnl" is not present, the nextgroup will only be found after the current item in the same line. When skipping text while looking for a next group, the matches for other groups are ignored. Only when no next group matches, other items are tried for a match again. This means that matching a next group and skipping white space and <EOL>s has a higher priority than other items. Example: > :syn match ifstart "\<if." nextgroup=ifline skipwhite skipempty :syn match ifline "[^ \t]." nextgroup=ifline skipwhite skipempty contained :syn match ifline "endif" contained Note that the "[^ \t]." match matches all non-white text. Thus it would also match "endif". Therefore the "endif" match is put last, so that it takes precedence. Note that this example doesn't work for nested "if"s. You need to add "contains" arguments to make that work (omitted for simplicity of the example). IMPLICIT CONCEAL :syn-conceal-implicit* :sy[ntax] conceal [on\|off] This defines if the following ":syntax" commands will define keywords, matches or regions with the "conceal" flag set. After ":syn conceal on", all subsequent ":syn keyword", ":syn match" or ":syn region" defined will have the "conceal" flag set implicitly. ":syn conceal off" returns to the normal state where the "conceal" flag must be given explicitly. :sy[ntax] conceal Show either "syntax conceal on" or "syntax conceal off" (translated). ============================================================================== 8. Syntax patterns :syn-pattern E401 E402 In the syntax commands, a pattern must be surrounded by two identical characters. This is like it works for the ":s" command. The most common to use is the double quote. But if the pattern contains a double quote, you can use another character that is not used in the pattern. Examples: > :syntax region Comment start="/\" end="\/" :syntax region String start=+"+ end=+"+ skip=+\\"+ See \|pattern\| for the explanation of what a pattern is. Syntax patterns are always interpreted like the 'magic' option is set, no matter what the actual value of 'magic' is. And the patterns are interpreted like the 'l' flag is not included in 'cpoptions'. This was done to make syntax files portable and independent of 'compatible' and 'magic' settings. Try to avoid patterns that can match an empty string, such as "[a-z]". This slows down the highlighting a lot, because it matches everywhere. :syn-pattern-offset* The pattern can be followed by a character offset. This can be used to change the highlighted part, and to change the text area included in the match or region (which only matters when trying to match other items). Both are relative to the matched pattern. The character offset for a skip pattern can be used to tell where to continue looking for an end pattern. The offset takes the form of "{what}={offset}" The {what} can be one of seven strings: ms Match Start offset for the start of the matched text me Match End offset for the end of the matched text hs Highlight Start offset for where the highlighting starts he Highlight End offset for where the highlighting ends rs Region Start offset for where the body of a region starts re Region End offset for where the body of a region ends lc Leading Context offset past "leading context" of pattern The {offset} can be: s start of the matched pattern s+{nr} start of the matched pattern plus {nr} chars to the right s-{nr} start of the matched pattern plus {nr} chars to the left e end of the matched pattern e+{nr} end of the matched pattern plus {nr} chars to the right e-{nr} end of the matched pattern plus {nr} chars to the left {nr} (for "lc" only): start matching {nr} chars right of the start Examples: "ms=s+1", "hs=e-2", "lc=3". Although all offsets are accepted after any pattern, they are not always meaningful. This table shows which offsets are actually used: ms me hs he rs re lc ~ match item yes yes yes yes - - yes region item start yes - yes - yes - yes region item skip - yes - - - - yes region item end - yes - yes - yes yes Offsets can be concatenated, with a ',' in between. Example: > :syn match String /"[^"]"/hs=s+1,he=e-1 < some "string" text ^^^^^^ highlighted Notes: - There must be no white space between the pattern and the character offset(s). - The highlighted area will never be outside of the matched text. - A negative offset for an end pattern may not always work, because the end pattern may be detected when the highlighting should already have stopped. - Before Vim 7.2 the offsets were counted in bytes instead of characters. This didn't work well for multibyte characters, so it was changed with the Vim 7.2 release. - The start of a match cannot be in a line other than where the pattern matched. This doesn't work: "a\nb"ms=e. You can make the highlighting start in another line, this does work: "a\nb"hs=e. Example (match a comment but don't highlight the / and /): > :syntax region Comment start="/\"hs=e+1 end="\/"he=s-1 < / this is a comment / ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ highlighted A more complicated Example: > :syn region Exa matchgroup=Foo start="foo"hs=s+2,rs=e+2 matchgroup=Bar end="bar"me=e-1,he=e-1,re=s-1 < abcfoostringbarabc mmmmmmmmmmm match sssrrreee highlight start/region/end ("Foo", "Exa" and "Bar") Leading context :syn-lc* :syn-leading :syn-context Note: This is an obsolete feature, only included for backwards compatibility with previous Vim versions. It's now recommended to use the \|/\@<=\| construct in the pattern. The "lc" offset specifies leading context -- a part of the pattern that must be present, but is not considered part of the match. An offset of "lc=n" will cause Vim to step back n columns before attempting the pattern match, allowing characters which have already been matched in previous patterns to also be used as leading context for this match. This can be used, for instance, to specify that an "escaping" character must not precede the match: > :syn match ZNoBackslash "[^\\]z"ms=s+1 :syn match WNoBackslash "[^\\]w"lc=1 :syn match Underline "_\+" < ___zzzz ___wwww ^^^ ^^^ matches Underline ^ ^ matches ZNoBackslash ^^^^ matches WNoBackslash The "ms" offset is automatically set to the same value as the "lc" offset, unless you set "ms" explicitly. Multi-line patterns :syn-multi-line The patterns can include "\n" to match an end-of-line. Mostly this works as expected, but there are a few exceptions. When using a start pattern with an offset, the start of the match is not allowed to start in a following line. The highlighting can start in a following line though. Using the "\zs" item also requires that the start of the match doesn't move to another line. The skip pattern can include the "\n", but the search for an end pattern will continue in the first character of the next line, also when that character is matched by the skip pattern. This is because redrawing may start in any line halfway a region and there is no check if the skip pattern started in a previous line. For example, if the skip pattern is "a\nb" and an end pattern is "b", the end pattern does match in the second line of this: > x x a b x x Generally this means that the skip pattern should not match any characters after the "\n". External matches :syn-ext-match These extra regular expression items are available in region patterns: /\z( /\z(\) E50 E52 E879 \z(\) Marks the sub-expression as "external", meaning that it can be accessed from another pattern match. Currently only usable in defining a syntax region start pattern. /\z1 /\z2 /\z3 /\z4 /\z5 \z1 ... \z9 /\z6 /\z7 /\z8 /\z9 E66 E67 Matches the same string that was matched by the corresponding sub-expression in a previous start pattern match. Sometimes the start and end patterns of a region need to share a common sub-expression. A common example is the "here" document in Perl and many Unix shells. This effect can be achieved with the "\z" special regular expression items, which marks a sub-expression as "external", in the sense that it can be referenced from outside the pattern in which it is defined. The here-document example, for instance, can be done like this: > :syn region hereDoc start="<<\z(\I\i\)" end="^\z1$" As can be seen here, the \z actually does double duty. In the start pattern, it marks the "$\I\i$" sub-expression as external; in the end pattern, it changes the \z1 back-reference into an external reference referring to the first external sub-expression in the start pattern. External references can also be used in skip patterns: > :syn region foo start="start $\I\i$" skip="not end \z1" end="end \z1" Note that normal and external sub-expressions are completely orthogonal and indexed separately; for instance, if the pattern "\z(..\)$..$" is applied to the string "aabb", then \1 will refer to "bb" and \z1 will refer to "aa". Note also that external sub-expressions cannot be accessed as back-references within the same pattern like normal sub-expressions. If you want to use one sub-expression as both a normal and an external sub-expression, you can nest the two, as in "$\z(...$\)". Note that only matches within a single line can be used. Multi-line matches cannot be referred to. ============================================================================== 9. Syntax clusters :syn-cluster* E400 :sy[ntax] cluster {cluster-name} [contains={group-name}..] [add={group-name}..] [remove={group-name}..] This command allows you to cluster a list of syntax groups together under a single name. contains={group-name}.. The cluster is set to the specified list of groups. add={group-name}.. The specified groups are added to the cluster. remove={group-name}.. The specified groups are removed from the cluster. A cluster so defined may be referred to in a contains=.., containedin=.., nextgroup=.., add=.. or remove=.. list with a "@" prefix. You can also use this notation to implicitly declare a cluster before specifying its contents. Example: > :syntax match Thing "# [^#]\+ #" contains=@ThingMembers :syntax cluster ThingMembers contains=ThingMember1,ThingMember2 As the previous example suggests, modifications to a cluster are effectively retroactive; the membership of the cluster is checked at the last minute, so to speak: > :syntax keyword A aaa :syntax keyword B bbb :syntax cluster AandB contains=A :syntax match Stuff "( aaa bbb )" contains=@AandB :syntax cluster AandB add=B " now both keywords are matched in Stuff This also has implications for nested clusters: > :syntax keyword A aaa :syntax keyword B bbb :syntax cluster SmallGroup contains=B :syntax cluster BigGroup contains=A,@SmallGroup :syntax match Stuff "( aaa bbb )" contains=@BigGroup :syntax cluster BigGroup remove=B " no effect, since B isn't in BigGroup :syntax cluster SmallGroup remove=B " now bbb isn't matched within Stuff < E848 The maximum number of clusters is 9767. ============================================================================== 10. Including syntax files :syn-include E397 It is often useful for one language's syntax file to include a syntax file for a related language. Depending on the exact relationship, this can be done in two different ways: - If top-level syntax items in the included syntax file are to be allowed at the top level in the including syntax, you can simply use the \|:runtime\| command: > " In cpp.vim: :runtime! syntax/c.vim :unlet b:current_syntax < - If top-level syntax items in the included syntax file are to be contained within a region in the including syntax, you can use the ":syntax include" command: :sy[ntax] include [@{grouplist-name}] {file-name} All syntax items declared in the included file will have the "contained" flag added. In addition, if a group list is specified, all top-level syntax items in the included file will be added to that list. > " In perl.vim: :syntax include @Pod <sfile>:p:h/pod.vim :syntax region perlPOD start="^=head" end="^=cut" contains=@Pod < When {file-name} is an absolute path (starts with "/", "c:", "$VAR" or "<sfile>") that file is sourced. When it is a relative path (e.g., "syntax/pod.vim") the file is searched for in 'runtimepath'. All matching files are loaded. Using a relative path is recommended, because it allows a user to replace the included file with their own version, without replacing the file that does the ":syn include". E847 The maximum number of includes is 999. ============================================================================== 11. Synchronizing :syn-sync E403 E404 Vim wants to be able to start redrawing in any position in the document. To make this possible it needs to know the syntax state at the position where redrawing starts. :sy[ntax] sync [ccomment [group-name] \| minlines={N} \| ...] There are four ways to synchronize: 1. Always parse from the start of the file. \|:syn-sync-first\| 2. Based on C-style comments. Vim understands how C-comments work and can figure out if the current line starts inside or outside a comment. \|:syn-sync-second\| 3. Jumping back a certain number of lines and start parsing there. \|:syn-sync-third\| 4. Searching backwards in the text for a pattern to sync on. \|:syn-sync-fourth\| :syn-sync-maxlines :syn-sync-minlines For the last three methods, the line range where the parsing can start is limited by "minlines" and "maxlines". If the "minlines={N}" argument is given, the parsing always starts at least that many lines backwards. This can be used if the parsing may take a few lines before it's correct, or when it's not possible to use syncing. If the "maxlines={N}" argument is given, the number of lines that are searched for a comment or syncing pattern is restricted to N lines backwards (after adding "minlines"). This is useful if you have few things to sync on and a slow machine. Example: > :syntax sync maxlines=500 ccomment < :syn-sync-linebreaks When using a pattern that matches multiple lines, a change in one line may cause a pattern to no longer match in a previous line. This means has to start above where the change was made. How many lines can be specified with the "linebreaks" argument. For example, when a pattern may include one line break use this: > :syntax sync linebreaks=1 The result is that redrawing always starts at least one line before where a change was made. The default value for "linebreaks" is zero. Usually the value for "minlines" is bigger than "linebreaks". First syncing method: :syn-sync-first > :syntax sync fromstart The file will be parsed from the start. This makes syntax highlighting accurate, but can be slow for long files. Vim caches previously parsed text, so that it's only slow when parsing the text for the first time. However, when making changes some part of the text needs to be parsed again (worst case: to the end of the file). Using "fromstart" is equivalent to using "minlines" with a very large number. Second syncing method: :syn-sync-second :syn-sync-ccomment For the second method, only the "ccomment" argument needs to be given. Example: > :syntax sync ccomment When Vim finds that the line where displaying starts is inside a C-style comment, the last region syntax item with the group-name "Comment" will be used. This requires that there is a region with the group-name "Comment"! An alternate group name can be specified, for example: > :syntax sync ccomment javaComment This means that the last item specified with "syn region javaComment" will be used for the detected C comment region. This only works properly if that region does have a start pattern "\/" and an end pattern "\/". The "maxlines" argument can be used to restrict the search to a number of lines. The "minlines" argument can be used to at least start a number of lines back (e.g., for when there is some construct that only takes a few lines, but it hard to sync on). Note: Syncing on a C comment doesn't work properly when strings are used that cross a line and contain a "/". Since letting strings cross a line is a bad programming habit (many compilers give a warning message), and the chance of a "/" appearing inside a comment is very small, this restriction is hardly ever noticed. Third syncing method: :syn-sync-third For the third method, only the "minlines={N}" argument needs to be given. Vim will subtract {N} from the line number and start parsing there. This means {N} extra lines need to be parsed, which makes this method a bit slower. Example: > :syntax sync minlines=50 "lines" is equivalent to "minlines" (used by older versions). Fourth syncing method: :syn-sync-fourth The idea is to synchronize on the end of a few specific regions, called a sync pattern. Only regions can cross lines, so when we find the end of some region, we might be able to know in which syntax item we are. The search starts in the line just above the one where redrawing starts. From there the search continues backwards in the file. This works just like the non-syncing syntax items. You can use contained matches, nextgroup, etc. But there are a few differences: - Keywords cannot be used. - The syntax items with the "sync" keyword form a completely separated group of syntax items. You can't mix syncing groups and non-syncing groups. - The matching works backwards in the buffer (line by line), instead of forwards. - A line continuation pattern can be given. It is used to decide which group of lines need to be searched like they were one line. This means that the search for a match with the specified items starts in the first of the consecutive lines that contain the continuation pattern. - When using "nextgroup" or "contains", this only works within one line (or group of continued lines). - When using a region, it must start and end in the same line (or group of continued lines). Otherwise the end is assumed to be at the end of the line (or group of continued lines). - When a match with a sync pattern is found, the rest of the line (or group of continued lines) is searched for another match. The last match is used. This is used when a line can contain both the start end the end of a region (e.g., in a C-comment like /* this /, the last "/" is used). There are two ways how a match with a sync pattern can be used: 1. Parsing for highlighting starts where redrawing starts (and where the search for the sync pattern started). The syntax group that is expected to be valid there must be specified. This works well when the regions that cross lines cannot contain other regions. 2. Parsing for highlighting continues just after the match. The syntax group that is expected to be present just after the match must be specified. This can be used when the previous method doesn't work well. It's much slower, because more text needs to be parsed. Both types of sync patterns can be used at the same time. Besides the sync patterns, other matches and regions can be specified, to avoid finding unwanted matches. [The reason that the sync patterns are given separately, is that mostly the search for the sync point can be much simpler than figuring out the highlighting. The reduced number of patterns means it will go (much) faster.] syn-sync-grouphere E393 E394 :syntax sync match {sync-group-name} grouphere {group-name} "pattern" .. Define a match that is used for syncing. {group-name} is the name of a syntax group that follows just after the match. Parsing of the text for highlighting starts just after the match. A region must exist for this {group-name}. The first one defined will be used. "NONE" can be used for when there is no syntax group after the match. syn-sync-groupthere :syntax sync match {sync-group-name} groupthere {group-name} "pattern" .. Like "grouphere", but {group-name} is the name of a syntax group that is to be used at the start of the line where searching for the sync point started. The text between the match and the start of the sync pattern searching is assumed not to change the syntax highlighting. For example, in C you could search backwards for "/" and "/". If "/" is found first, you know that you are inside a comment, so the "groupthere" is "cComment". If "/" is found first, you know that you are not in a comment, so the "groupthere" is "NONE". (in practice it's a bit more complicated, because the "/" and "/" could appear inside a string. That's left as an exercise to the reader...). :syntax sync match .. :syntax sync region .. Without a "groupthere" argument. Define a region or match that is skipped while searching for a sync point. syn-sync-linecont :syntax sync linecont {pattern} When {pattern} matches in a line, it is considered to continue in the next line. This means that the search for a sync point will consider the lines to be concatenated. If the "maxlines={N}" argument is given too, the number of lines that are searched for a match is restricted to N. This is useful if you have very few things to sync on and a slow machine. Example: > :syntax sync maxlines=100 You can clear all sync settings with: > :syntax sync clear You can clear specific sync patterns with: > :syntax sync clear {sync-group-name} .. ============================================================================== 12. Listing syntax items :syntax :sy :syn :syn-list This command lists all the syntax items: > :sy[ntax] [list] To show the syntax items for one syntax group: > :sy[ntax] list {group-name} To list the syntax groups in one cluster: E392 > :sy[ntax] list @{cluster-name} See above for other arguments for the ":syntax" command. Note that the ":syntax" command can be abbreviated to ":sy", although ":syn" is mostly used, because it looks better. ============================================================================== 13. Highlight command :highlight :hi E28 E411 E415 There are three types of highlight groups: - The ones used for specific languages. For these the name starts with the name of the language. Many of these don't have any attributes, but are linked to a group of the second type. - The ones used for all syntax languages. - The ones used for the 'highlight' option. hitest.vim You can see all the groups currently active with this command: > :so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim This will open a new window containing all highlight group names, displayed in their own color. :colo :colorscheme E185 :colo[rscheme] Output the name of the currently active color scheme. This is basically the same as > :echo g:colors_name < In case g:colors_name has not been defined :colo will output "default". When compiled without the \|+eval\| feature it will output "unknown". :colo[rscheme] {name} Load color scheme {name}. This searches 'runtimepath' for the file "colors/{name}.vim". The first one that is found is loaded. Also searches all plugins in 'packpath', first below "start" and then under "opt". Doesn't work recursively, thus you can't use ":colorscheme" in a color scheme script. To customize a color scheme use another name, e.g. "~/.vim/colors/mine.vim", and use `:runtime` to load the original color scheme: > runtime colors/evening.vim hi Statement ctermfg=Blue guifg=Blue < Before the color scheme will be loaded the \|ColorSchemePre\| autocommand event is triggered. After the color scheme has been loaded the \|ColorScheme\| autocommand event is triggered. For info about writing a color scheme file: > :edit $VIMRUNTIME/colors/README.txt :hi[ghlight] List all the current highlight groups that have attributes set. :hi[ghlight] {group-name} List one highlight group. :hi[ghlight] clear Reset all highlighting to the defaults. Removes all highlighting for groups added by the user! Uses the current value of 'background' to decide which default colors to use. If there was a default link, restore it. \|:hi-link\| :hi[ghlight] clear {group-name} :hi[ghlight] {group-name} NONE Disable the highlighting for one highlight group. It is _not_ set back to the default colors. :hi[ghlight] [default] {group-name} {key}={arg} .. Add a highlight group, or change the highlighting for an existing group. See \|highlight-args\| for the {key}={arg} arguments. See \|:highlight-default\| for the optional [default] argument. Normally a highlight group is added once when starting up. This sets the default values for the highlighting. After that, you can use additional highlight commands to change the arguments that you want to set to non-default values. The value "NONE" can be used to switch the value off or go back to the default value. A simple way to change colors is with the \|:colorscheme\| command. This loads a file with ":highlight" commands such as this: > :hi Comment gui=bold Note that all settings that are not included remain the same, only the specified field is used, and settings are merged with previous ones. So, the result is like this single command has been used: > :hi Comment term=bold ctermfg=Cyan guifg=#80a0ff gui=bold < :highlight-verbose When listing a highlight group and 'verbose' is non-zero, the listing will also tell where it was last set. Example: > :verbose hi Comment < Comment xxx term=bold ctermfg=4 guifg=Blue ~ Last set from /home/mool/vim/vim7/runtime/syntax/syncolor.vim ~ When ":hi clear" is used then the script where this command is used will be mentioned for the default values. See \|:verbose-cmd\| for more information. highlight-args E416 E417 E423 There are three types of terminals for highlighting: term a normal terminal (vt100, xterm) cterm a color terminal (MS-Windows console, color-xterm, these have the "Co" termcap entry) gui the GUI For each type the highlighting can be given. This makes it possible to use the same syntax file on all terminals, and use the optimal highlighting. 1. highlight arguments for normal terminals bold underline undercurl inverse italic standout nocombine strikethrough term={attr-list} attr-list highlight-term E418 attr-list is a comma separated list (without spaces) of the following items (in any order): bold underline undercurl not always available strikethrough not always available reverse inverse same as reverse italic standout nocombine override attributes instead of combining them NONE no attributes used (used to reset it) Note that "bold" can be used here and by using a bold font. They have the same effect. "undercurl" is a curly underline. When "undercurl" is not possible then "underline" is used. In general "undercurl" and "strikethrough" are only available in the GUI and some terminals. The color is set with \|highlight-guisp\| or \|highlight-ctermul\|. You can try these termcap entries to make undercurl work in a terminal: > let &t_Cs = "\e[4:3m" let &t_Ce = "\e[4:0m" start={term-list} highlight-start E422 stop={term-list} term-list highlight-stop These lists of terminal codes can be used to get non-standard attributes on a terminal. The escape sequence specified with the "start" argument is written before the characters in the highlighted area. It can be anything that you want to send to the terminal to highlight this area. The escape sequence specified with the "stop" argument is written after the highlighted area. This should undo the "start" argument. Otherwise the screen will look messed up. The {term-list} can have two forms: 1. A string with escape sequences. This is any string of characters, except that it can't start with "t_" and blanks are not allowed. The <> notation is recognized here, so you can use things like "<Esc>" and "<Space>". Example: start=<Esc>[27h;<Esc>[<Space>r; 2. A list of terminal codes. Each terminal code has the form "t_xx", where "xx" is the name of the termcap entry. The codes have to be separated with commas. White space is not allowed. Example: start=t_C1,t_BL The terminal codes must exist for this to work. 2. highlight arguments for color terminals cterm={attr-list} highlight-cterm See above for the description of {attr-list} \|attr-list\|. The "cterm" argument is likely to be different from "term", when colors are used. For example, in a normal terminal comments could be underlined, in a color terminal they can be made Blue. Note: Some terminals (e.g., DOS console) can't mix these attributes with coloring. To be portable, use only one of "cterm=" OR "ctermfg=" OR "ctermbg=". ctermfg={color-nr} highlight-ctermfg E421 ctermbg={color-nr} highlight-ctermbg ctermul={color-nr} highlight-ctermul These give the foreground (ctermfg), background (ctermbg) and underline (ctermul) color to use in the terminal. The {color-nr} argument is a color number. Its range is zero to (not including) the number given by the termcap entry "Co". The actual color with this number depends on the type of terminal and its settings. Sometimes the color also depends on the settings of "cterm". For example, on some systems "cterm=bold ctermfg=3" gives another color, on others you just get color 3. For an xterm this depends on your resources, and is a bit unpredictable. See your xterm documentation for the defaults. The colors for a color-xterm can be changed from the .Xdefaults file. Unfortunately this means that it's not possible to get the same colors for each user. See \|xterm-color\| for info about color xterms. The MS-Windows standard colors are fixed (in a console window), so these have been used for the names. But the meaning of color names in X11 are fixed, so these color settings have been used, to make the highlighting settings portable (complicated, isn't it?). The following names are recognized, with the color number used: cterm-colors NR-16 NR-8 COLOR NAME ~ 0 0 Black 1 4 DarkBlue 2 2 DarkGreen 3 6 DarkCyan 4 1 DarkRed 5 5 DarkMagenta 6 3 Brown, DarkYellow 7 7 LightGray, LightGrey, Gray, Grey 8 0* DarkGray, DarkGrey 9 4* Blue, LightBlue 10 2* Green, LightGreen 11 6* Cyan, LightCyan 12 1* Red, LightRed 13 5* Magenta, LightMagenta 14 3* Yellow, LightYellow 15 7* White The number under "NR-16" is used for 16-color terminals ('t_Co' greater than or equal to 16). The number under "NR-8" is used for 8-color terminals ('t_Co' less than 16). The '' indicates that the bold attribute is set for ctermfg. In many 8-color terminals (e.g., "linux"), this causes the bright colors to appear. This doesn't work for background colors! Without the '' the bold attribute is removed. If you want to set the bold attribute in a different way, put a "cterm=" argument AFTER the "ctermfg=" or "ctermbg=" argument. Or use a number instead of a color name. The case of the color names is ignored. Note that for 16 color ansi style terminals (including xterms), the numbers in the NR-8 column is used. Here '' means 'add 8' so that Blue is 12, DarkGray is 8 etc. Note that for some color terminals these names may result in the wrong colors! You can also use "NONE" to remove the color. :hi-normal-cterm* When setting the "ctermfg" or "ctermbg" colors for the Normal group, these will become the colors used for the non-highlighted text. Example: > :highlight Normal ctermfg=grey ctermbg=darkblue < When setting the "ctermbg" color for the Normal group, the 'background' option will be adjusted automatically, under the condition that the color is recognized and 'background' was not set explicitly. This causes the highlight groups that depend on 'background' to change! This means you should set the colors for Normal first, before setting other colors. When a color scheme is being used, changing 'background' causes it to be reloaded, which may reset all colors (including Normal). First delete the "g:colors_name" variable when you don't want this. When you have set "ctermfg" or "ctermbg" for the Normal group, Vim needs to reset the color when exiting. This is done with the "op" termcap entry \|t_op\|. If this doesn't work correctly, try setting the 't_op' option in your .vimrc. E419 E420 E453 When Vim knows the normal foreground, background and underline colors, "fg", "bg" and "ul" can be used as color names. This only works after setting the colors for the Normal group and for the MS-Windows console. Example, for reverse video: > :highlight Visual ctermfg=bg ctermbg=fg < Note that the colors are used that are valid at the moment this command is given. If the Normal group colors are changed later, the "fg" and "bg" colors will not be adjusted. 3. highlight arguments for the GUI gui={attr-list} highlight-gui These give the attributes to use in the GUI mode. See \|attr-list\| for a description. Note that "bold" can be used here and by using a bold font. They have the same effect. Note that the attributes are ignored for the "Normal" group. font={font-name} highlight-font font-name is the name of a font, as it is used on the system Vim runs on. For X11 this is a complicated name, for example: > font=-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1 < The font-name "NONE" can be used to revert to the default font. When setting the font for the "Normal" group, this becomes the default font (until the 'guifont' option is changed; the last one set is used). The following only works with Motif and Athena, not with other GUIs: When setting the font for the "Menu" group, the menus will be changed. When setting the font for the "Tooltip" group, the tooltips will be changed. All fonts used, except for Menu and Tooltip, should be of the same character size as the default font! Otherwise redrawing problems will occur. To use a font name with an embedded space or other special character, put it in single quotes. The single quote cannot be used then. Example: > :hi comment font='Monospace 10' guifg={color-name} highlight-guifg guibg={color-name} highlight-guibg guisp={color-name} highlight-guisp These give the foreground (guifg), background (guibg) and special (guisp) color to use in the GUI. "guisp" is used for undercurl and strikethrough. There are a few special names: NONE no color (transparent) bg use normal background color background use normal background color fg use normal foreground color foreground use normal foreground color To use a color name with an embedded space or other special character, put it in single quotes. The single quote cannot be used then. Example: > :hi comment guifg='salmon pink' < gui-colors Suggested color names (these are available on most systems): Red LightRed DarkRed Green LightGreen DarkGreen SeaGreen Blue LightBlue DarkBlue SlateBlue Cyan LightCyan DarkCyan Magenta LightMagenta DarkMagenta Yellow LightYellow Brown DarkYellow Gray LightGray DarkGray Black White Orange Purple Violet In the Win32 GUI version, additional system colors are available. See \|win32-colors\|. You can also specify a color by its Red, Green and Blue values. The format is "#rrggbb", where "rr" is the Red value "gg" is the Green value "bb" is the Blue value All values are hexadecimal, range from "00" to "ff". Examples: > :highlight Comment guifg=#11f0c3 guibg=#ff00ff < highlight-groups highlight-default These are the default highlighting groups. These groups are used by the 'highlight' option default. Note that the highlighting depends on the value of 'background'. You can see the current settings with the ":highlight" command. hl-ColorColumn ColorColumn used for the columns set with 'colorcolumn' hl-Conceal Conceal placeholder characters substituted for concealed text (see 'conceallevel') hl-Cursor Cursor the character under the cursor lCursor the character under the cursor when \|language-mapping\| is used (see 'guicursor') hl-CursorIM CursorIM like Cursor, but used when in IME mode \|CursorIM\| hl-CursorColumn CursorColumn the screen column that the cursor is in when 'cursorcolumn' is set hl-CursorLine CursorLine the screen line that the cursor is in when 'cursorline' is set hl-Directory Directory directory names (and other special names in listings) hl-DiffAdd DiffAdd diff mode: Added line \|diff.txt\| hl-DiffChange DiffChange diff mode: Changed line \|diff.txt\| hl-DiffDelete DiffDelete diff mode: Deleted line \|diff.txt\| hl-DiffText DiffText diff mode: Changed text within a changed line \|diff.txt\| hl-EndOfBuffer EndOfBuffer filler lines (~) after the last line in the buffer. By default, this is highlighted like \|hl-NonText\|. hl-ErrorMsg ErrorMsg error messages on the command line hl-VertSplit VertSplit the column separating vertically split windows hl-Folded Folded line used for closed folds hl-FoldColumn FoldColumn 'foldcolumn' hl-SignColumn SignColumn column where \|signs\| are displayed hl-IncSearch IncSearch 'incsearch' highlighting; also used for the text replaced with ":s///c" hl-LineNr LineNr Line number for ":number" and ":#" commands, and when 'number' or 'relativenumber' option is set. hl-LineNrAbove LineNrAbove Line number for when the 'relativenumber' option is set, above the cursor line. hl-LineNrBelow LineNrBelow Line number for when the 'relativenumber' option is set, below the cursor line. hl-CursorLineNr CursorLineNr Like LineNr when 'cursorline' is set and 'cursorlineopt' is set to "number" or "both", or 'relativenumber' is set, for the cursor line. hl-MatchParen MatchParen The character under the cursor or just before it, if it is a paired bracket, and its match. \|pi_paren.txt\| hl-ModeMsg ModeMsg 'showmode' message (e.g., "-- INSERT --") hl-MoreMsg MoreMsg \|more-prompt\| hl-NonText NonText '@' at the end of the window, characters from 'showbreak' and other characters that do not really exist in the text (e.g., ">" displayed when a double-wide character doesn't fit at the end of the line). hl-Normal Normal normal text hl-Pmenu Pmenu Popup menu: normal item. hl-PmenuSel PmenuSel Popup menu: selected item. hl-PmenuSbar PmenuSbar Popup menu: scrollbar. hl-PmenuThumb PmenuThumb Popup menu: Thumb of the scrollbar. hl-Question Question \|hit-enter\| prompt and yes/no questions hl-QuickFixLine QuickFixLine Current \|quickfix\| item in the quickfix window. hl-Search Search Last search pattern highlighting (see 'hlsearch'). Also used for similar items that need to stand out. hl-SpecialKey SpecialKey Meta and special keys listed with ":map", also for text used to show unprintable characters in the text, 'listchars'. Generally: text that is displayed differently from what it really is. hl-SpellBad SpellBad Word that is not recognized by the spellchecker. \|spell\| This will be combined with the highlighting used otherwise. hl-SpellCap SpellCap Word that should start with a capital. \|spell\| This will be combined with the highlighting used otherwise. hl-SpellLocal SpellLocal Word that is recognized by the spellchecker as one that is used in another region. \|spell\| This will be combined with the highlighting used otherwise. hl-SpellRare SpellRare Word that is recognized by the spellchecker as one that is hardly ever used. \|spell\| This will be combined with the highlighting used otherwise. hl-StatusLine StatusLine status line of current window hl-StatusLineNC StatusLineNC status lines of not-current windows Note: if this is equal to "StatusLine" Vim will use "^^^" in the status line of the current window. hl-StatusLineTerm StatusLineTerm status line of current window, if it is a \|terminal\| window. hl-StatusLineTermNC StatusLineTermNC status lines of not-current windows that is a \|terminal\| window. hl-TabLine TabLine tab pages line, not active tab page label hl-TabLineFill TabLineFill tab pages line, where there are no labels hl-TabLineSel TabLineSel tab pages line, active tab page label hl-Terminal Terminal \|terminal\| window (see \|terminal-size-color\|) hl-Title Title titles for output from ":set all", ":autocmd" etc. hl-Visual Visual Visual mode selection hl-VisualNOS VisualNOS Visual mode selection when vim is "Not Owning the Selection".

The names are User1 to User9. For the GUI you can use the following groups to set the colors for the menu, scrollbars and tooltips. They don't have defaults. This doesn't work for the Win32 GUI. Only three highlight arguments have any effect here: font, guibg, and guifg. hl-Menu Menu Current font, background and foreground colors of the menus. Also used for the toolbar. Applicable highlight arguments: font, guibg, guifg. NOTE: For Motif and Athena the font argument actually specifies a fontset at all times, no matter if 'guifontset' is empty, and as such it is tied to the current \|:language\| when set. hl-Scrollbar Scrollbar Current background and foreground of the main window's scrollbars. Applicable highlight arguments: guibg, guifg. hl-Tooltip Tooltip Current font, background and foreground of the tooltips. Applicable highlight arguments: font, guibg, guifg. NOTE: For Motif and Athena the font argument actually specifies a fontset at all times, no matter if 'guifontset' is empty, and as such it is tied to the current \|:language\| when set. ============================================================================== 14. Linking groups :hi-link :highlight-link E412 E413 When you want to use the same highlighting for several syntax groups, you can do this more easily by linking the groups into one common highlight group, and give the color attributes only for that group. To set a link: :hi[ghlight][!] [default] link {from-group} {to-group} To remove a link: :hi[ghlight][!] [default] link {from-group} NONE Notes: E414 - If the {from-group} and/or {to-group} doesn't exist, it is created. You don't get an error message for a non-existing group. - As soon as you use a ":highlight" command for a linked group, the link is removed. - If there are already highlight settings for the {from-group}, the link is not made, unless the '!' is given. For a ":highlight link" command in a sourced file, you don't get an error message. This can be used to skip links for groups that already have settings. :hi-default :highlight-default The [default] argument is used for setting the default highlighting for a group. If highlighting has already been specified for the group the command will be ignored. Also when there is an existing link. Using [default] is especially useful to overrule the highlighting of a specific syntax file. For example, the C syntax file contains: > :highlight default link cComment Comment If you like Question highlighting for C comments, put this in your vimrc file: > :highlight link cComment Question Without the "default" in the C syntax file, the highlighting would be overruled when the syntax file is loaded. To have a link survive `:highlight clear`, which is useful if you have highlighting for a specific filetype and you want to keep it when selecting another color scheme, put a command like this in the "after/syntax/{filetype}.vim" file: > highlight! default link cComment Question ============================================================================== 15. Cleaning up :syn-clear E391 If you want to clear the syntax stuff for the current buffer, you can use this command: > :syntax clear This command should be used when you want to switch off syntax highlighting, or when you want to switch to using another syntax. It's normally not needed in a syntax file itself, because syntax is cleared by the autocommands that load the syntax file. The command also deletes the "b:current_syntax" variable, since no syntax is loaded after this command. To clean up specific syntax groups for the current buffer: > :syntax clear {group-name} .. This removes all patterns and keywords for {group-name}. To clean up specific syntax group lists for the current buffer: > :syntax clear @{grouplist-name} .. This sets {grouplist-name}'s contents to an empty list. :syntax-off :syn-off If you want to disable syntax highlighting for all buffers, you need to remove the autocommands that load the syntax files: > :syntax off What this command actually does, is executing the command > :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/nosyntax.vim See the "nosyntax.vim" file for details. Note that for this to work $VIMRUNTIME must be valid. See \|$VIMRUNTIME\|. :syntax-reset :syn-reset If you have changed the colors and messed them up, use this command to get the defaults back: > :syntax reset It is a bit of a wrong name, since it does not reset any syntax items, it only affects the highlighting. This doesn't change the colors for the 'highlight' option. Note that the syntax colors that you set in your vimrc file will also be reset back to their Vim default. Note that if you are using a color scheme, the colors defined by the color scheme for syntax highlighting will be lost. What this actually does is: > let g:syntax_cmd = "reset" runtime! syntax/syncolor.vim Note that this uses the 'runtimepath' option. syncolor If you want to use different colors for syntax highlighting, you can add a Vim script file to set these colors. Put this file in a directory in 'runtimepath' which comes after $VIMRUNTIME, so that your settings overrule the default colors. This way these colors will be used after the ":syntax reset" command. For Unix you can use the file ~/.vim/after/syntax/syncolor.vim. Example: > if &background == "light" highlight comment ctermfg=darkgreen guifg=darkgreen else highlight comment ctermfg=green guifg=green endif E679 Do make sure this syncolor.vim script does not use a "syntax on", set the 'background' option or uses a "colorscheme" command, because it results in an endless loop. Note that when a color scheme is used, there might be some confusion whether your defined colors are to be used or the colors from the scheme. This depends on the color scheme file. See \|:colorscheme\|. syntax_cmd The "syntax_cmd" variable is set to one of these values when the syntax/syncolor.vim files are loaded: "on" ":syntax on" command. Highlight colors are overruled but links are kept "enable" ":syntax enable" command. Only define colors for groups that don't have highlighting yet. Use ":syntax default". "reset" ":syntax reset" command or loading a color scheme. Define all the colors. "skip" Don't define colors. Used to skip the default settings when a syncolor.vim file earlier in 'runtimepath' has already set them. ============================================================================== 16. Highlighting tags tag-highlight If you want to highlight all the tags in your file, you can use the following mappings. <F11> -- Generate tags.vim file, and highlight tags. <F12> -- Just highlight tags based on existing tags.vim file. > :map <F11> :sp tags<CR>:%s/^$[^ :]:$\=$[^ ]$./syntax keyword Tag \2/<CR>:wq! tags.vim<CR>/^<CR><F12> :map <F12> :so tags.vim<CR> WARNING: The longer the tags file, the slower this will be, and the more memory Vim will consume. Only highlighting typedefs, unions and structs can be done too. For this you must use Exuberant ctags (found at http://ctags.sf.net). Put these lines in your Makefile: # Make a highlight file for types. Requires Exuberant ctags and awk types: types.vim types.vim: .[ch] ctags --c-kinds=gstu -o- .[ch] \|\ awk 'BEGIN{printf("syntax keyword Type\t")}\ {printf("%s ", $$1)}END{print ""}' > $@ And put these lines in your .vimrc: > " load the types.vim highlighting file, if it exists autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile .[ch] let fname = expand('<afile>:p:h') . '/types.vim' autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile .[ch] if filereadable(fname) autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile .[ch] exe 'so ' . fname autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile .[ch] endif ============================================================================== 17. Window-local syntax :ownsyntax* Normally all windows on a buffer share the same syntax settings. It is possible, however, to set a particular window on a file to have its own private syntax setting. A possible example would be to edit LaTeX source with conventional highlighting in one window, while seeing the same source highlighted differently (so as to hide control sequences and indicate bold, italic etc regions) in another. The 'scrollbind' option is useful here. To set the current window to have the syntax "foo", separately from all other windows on the buffer: > :ownsyntax foo < w:current_syntax This will set the "w:current_syntax" variable to "foo". The value of "b:current_syntax" does not change. This is implemented by saving and restoring "b:current_syntax", since the syntax files do set "b:current_syntax". The value set by the syntax file is assigned to "w:current_syntax". Note: This resets the 'spell', 'spellcapcheck' and 'spellfile' options. Once a window has its own syntax, syntax commands executed from other windows on the same buffer (including :syntax clear) have no effect. Conversely, syntax commands executed from that window do not affect other windows on the same buffer. A window with its own syntax reverts to normal behavior when another buffer is loaded into that window or the file is reloaded. When splitting the window, the new window will use the original syntax. ============================================================================== 18. Color xterms xterm-color color-xterm Most color xterms have only eight colors. If you don't get colors with the default setup, it should work with these lines in your .vimrc: > :if &term =~ "xterm" : if has("terminfo") : set t_Co=8 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[3%p1%dm : set t_Sb=<Esc>[4%p1%dm : else : set t_Co=8 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[3%dm : set t_Sb=<Esc>[4%dm : endif :endif < [<Esc> is a real escape, type CTRL-V <Esc>] You might want to change the first "if" to match the name of your terminal, e.g. "dtterm" instead of "xterm". Note: Do these settings BEFORE doing ":syntax on". Otherwise the colors may be wrong. xiterm rxvt The above settings have been mentioned to work for xiterm and rxvt too. But for using 16 colors in an rxvt these should work with terminfo: > :set t_AB=<Esc>[%?%p1%{8}%<%t25;%p1%{40}%+%e5;%p1%{32}%+%;%dm :set t_AF=<Esc>[%?%p1%{8}%<%t22;%p1%{30}%+%e1;%p1%{22}%+%;%dm < colortest.vim To test your color setup, a file has been included in the Vim distribution. To use it, execute this command: > :runtime syntax/colortest.vim Some versions of xterm (and other terminals, like the Linux console) can output lighter foreground colors, even though the number of colors is defined at 8. Therefore Vim sets the "cterm=bold" attribute for light foreground colors, when 't_Co' is 8. xfree-xterm To get 16 colors or more, get the newest xterm version (which should be included with XFree86 3.3 and later). You can also find the latest version at: > http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.html Here is a good way to configure it. This uses 88 colors and enables the termcap-query feature, which allows Vim to ask the xterm how many colors it supports. > ./configure --disable-bold-color --enable-88-color --enable-tcap-query If you only get 8 colors, check the xterm compilation settings. (Also see \|UTF8-xterm\| for using this xterm with UTF-8 character encoding). This xterm should work with these lines in your .vimrc (for 16 colors): > :if has("terminfo") : set t_Co=16 : set t_AB=<Esc>[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{40}%+%e%p1%{92}%+%;%dm : set t_AF=<Esc>[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{30}%+%e%p1%{82}%+%;%dm :else : set t_Co=16 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[3%dm : set t_Sb=<Esc>[4%dm :endif < [<Esc> is a real escape, type CTRL-V <Esc>] Without \|+terminfo\|, Vim will recognize these settings, and automatically translate cterm colors of 8 and above to "<Esc>[9%dm" and "<Esc>[10%dm". Colors above 16 are also translated automatically. For 256 colors this has been reported to work: > :set t_AB=<Esc>[48;5;%dm :set t_AF=<Esc>[38;5;%dm Or just set the TERM environment variable to "xterm-color" or "xterm-16color" and try if that works. You probably want to use these X resources (in your ~/.Xdefaults file): XTermcolor0: #000000 XTermcolor1: #c00000 XTermcolor2: #008000 XTermcolor3: #808000 XTermcolor4: #0000c0 XTermcolor5: #c000c0 XTermcolor6: #008080 XTermcolor7: #c0c0c0 XTermcolor8: #808080 XTermcolor9: #ff6060 XTermcolor10: #00ff00 XTermcolor11: #ffff00 XTermcolor12: #8080ff XTermcolor13: #ff40ff XTermcolor14: #00ffff XTermcolor15: #ffffff XtermcursorColor: Black [Note: The cursorColor is required to work around a bug, which changes the cursor color to the color of the last drawn text. This has been fixed by a newer version of xterm, but not everybody is using it yet.] To get these right away, reload the .Xdefaults file to the X Option database Manager (you only need to do this when you just changed the .Xdefaults file): > xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults < xterm-blink* xterm-blinking-cursor To make the cursor blink in an xterm, see tools/blink.c. Or use Thomas Dickey's xterm above patchlevel 107 (see above for where to get it), with these resources: XTermcursorBlink: on XTermcursorOnTime: 400 XTermcursorOffTime: 250 XTermcursorColor: White hpterm-color These settings work (more or less) for an hpterm, which only supports 8 foreground colors: > :if has("terminfo") : set t_Co=8 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[&v%p1%dS : set t_Sb=<Esc>[&v7S :else : set t_Co=8 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[&v%dS : set t_Sb=<Esc>[&v7S :endif < [<Esc> is a real escape, type CTRL-V <Esc>] Eterm enlightened-terminal These settings have been reported to work for the Enlightened terminal emulator, or Eterm. They might work for all xterm-like terminals that use the bold attribute to get bright colors. Add an ":if" like above when needed. > :set t_Co=16 :set t_AF=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t3%p1%d%e%p1%{22}%+%d;1%;m :set t_AB=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t4%p1%d%e%p1%{32}%+%d;1%;m < TTpro-telnet These settings should work for TTpro telnet. Tera Term Pro is a freeware / open-source program for MS-Windows. > set t_Co=16 set t_AB=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{40}%+%e%p1%{32}%+5;%;%dm set t_AF=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{30}%+%e%p1%{22}%+1;%;%dm Also make sure TTpro's Setup / Window / Full Color is enabled, and make sure that Setup / Font / Enable Bold is NOT enabled.

When syntax is slow :syntime This is aimed at authors of a syntax file. If your syntax causes redrawing to be slow, here are a few hints on making it faster. To see slowness switch on some features that usually interfere, such as 'relativenumber' and \|folding\|. Note: this is only available when compiled with the \|+profile\| feature. You many need to build Vim with "huge" features. To find out what patterns are consuming most time, get an overview with this sequence: > :syntime on [ redraw the text at least once with CTRL-L ] :syntime report This will display a list of syntax patterns that were used, sorted by the time it took to match them against the text. :syntime on Start measuring syntax times. This will add some overhead to compute the time spent on syntax pattern matching. :syntime off Stop measuring syntax times. :syntime clear Set all the counters to zero, restart measuring. :syntime report Show the syntax items used since ":syntime on" in the current window. Use a wider display to see more of the output. The list is sorted by total time. The columns are: TOTAL Total time in seconds spent on matching this pattern. COUNT Number of times the pattern was used. MATCH Number of times the pattern actually matched SLOWEST The longest time for one try. AVERAGE The average time for one try. NAME Name of the syntax item. Note that this is not unique. PATTERN The pattern being used. Pattern matching gets slow when it has to try many alternatives. Try to include as much literal text as possible to reduce the number of ways a pattern does NOT match. When using the "\@<=" and "\@<!" items, add a maximum size to avoid trying at all positions in the current and previous line. For example, if the item is literal text specify the size of that text (in bytes): "<\@<=span" Matches "span" in "<span". This tries matching with "<" in many places. "<\@1<=span" Matches the same, but only tries one byte before "span". vim:tw=78:sw=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	220.57 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 tabpage.txt tabpage.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Oct 14 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Editing with windows in multiple tab pages. tab-page tabpage The commands which have been added to use multiple tab pages are explained here. Additionally, there are explanations for commands that work differently when used in combination with more than one tab page. 1. Introduction \|tab-page-intro\| 2. Commands \|tab-page-commands\| 3. Other items \|tab-page-other\| 4. Setting 'tabline' \|setting-tabline\| 5. Setting 'guitablabel' \|setting-guitablabel\| {not able to use multiple tab pages when the \|+windows\| feature was disabled at compile time} ============================================================================== 1. Introduction tab-page-intro A tab page holds one or more windows. You can easily switch between tab pages, so that you have several collections of windows to work on different things. Usually you will see a list of labels at the top of the Vim window, one for each tab page. With the mouse you can click on the label to jump to that tab page. There are other ways to move between tab pages, see below. Most commands work only in the current tab page. That includes the \|CTRL-W\| commands, \|:windo\|, \|:all\| and \|:ball\| (when not using the \|:tab\| modifier). The commands that are aware of other tab pages than the current one are mentioned below. Tabs are also a nice way to edit a buffer temporarily without changing the current window layout. Open a new tab page, do whatever you want to do and close the tab page. ============================================================================== 2. Commands tab-page-commands OPENING A NEW TAB PAGE: When starting Vim "vim -p filename ..." opens each file argument in a separate tab page (up to 'tabpagemax'). See \|-p\| A double click with the mouse in the non-GUI tab pages line opens a new, empty tab page. It is placed left of the position of the click. The first click may select another tab page first, causing an extra screen update. This also works in a few GUI versions, esp. Win32 and Motif. But only when clicking right of the labels. In the GUI tab pages line you can use the right mouse button to open menu. \|tabline-menu\|. For the related autocommands see \|tabnew-autocmd\|. :[count]tabe[dit] :tabe :tabedit :tabnew :[count]tabnew Open a new tab page with an empty window, after the current tab page. If [count] is given the new tab page appears after the tab page [count] otherwise the new tab page will appear after the current one. > :tabnew " opens tabpage after the current one :.tabnew " as above :+tabnew " opens tabpage after the next tab page " note: it is one further than :tabnew :-tabnew " opens tabpage before the current one :0tabnew " opens tabpage before the first one :$tabnew " opens tabpage after the last one :[count]tabe[dit] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} :[count]tabnew [++opt] [+cmd] {file} Open a new tab page and edit {file}, like with \|:edit\|. For [count] see \|:tabnew\| above. :[count]tabf[ind] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} :tabf :tabfind Open a new tab page and edit {file} in 'path', like with \|:find\|. For [count] see \|:tabnew\| above. {not available when the \|+file_in_path\| feature was disabled at compile time} :[count]tab {cmd} :tab Execute {cmd} and when it opens a new window open a new tab page instead. Doesn't work for \|:diffsplit\|, \|:diffpatch\|, \|:execute\| and \|:normal\|. If [count] is given the new tab page appears after the tab page [count] otherwise the new tab page will appear after the current one. Examples: > :tab split " opens current buffer in new tab page :tab help gt " opens tab page with help for "gt" :.tab help gt " as above :+tab help " opens tab page with help after the next " tab page :-tab help " opens tab page with help before the " current one :0tab help " opens tab page with help before the " first one :$tab help " opens tab page with help after the last " one CTRL-W gf Open a new tab page and edit the file name under the cursor. See \|CTRL-W_gf\|. CTRL-W gF Open a new tab page and edit the file name under the cursor and jump to the line number following the file name. See \|CTRL-W_gF\|. CLOSING A TAB PAGE: Closing the last window of a tab page closes the tab page too, unless there is only one tab page. Using the mouse: If the tab page line is displayed you can click in the "X" at the top right to close the current tab page. A custom \|'tabline'\| may show something else. :tabc :tabclose :tabc[lose][!] Close current tab page. This command fails when: - There is only one tab page on the screen. E784 - When 'hidden' is not set, [!] is not used, a buffer has changes, and there is no other window on this buffer. Changes to the buffer are not written and won't get lost, so this is a "safe" command. > :tabclose " close the current tab page :{count}tabc[lose][!] :tabc[lose][!] {count} Close tab page {count}. Fails in the same way as `:tabclose` above. > :-tabclose " close the previous tab page :+tabclose " close the next tab page :1tabclose " close the first tab page :$tabclose " close the last tab page :tabclose -2 " close the 2nd previous tab page :tabclose + " close the next tab page :tabclose 3 " close the third tab page :tabclose $ " close the last tab page :tabclose # " close the last accessed tab page < :tabo :tabonly :tabo[nly][!] Close all other tab pages. When the 'hidden' option is set, all buffers in closed windows become hidden. When 'hidden' is not set, and the 'autowrite' option is set, modified buffers are written. Otherwise, windows that have buffers that are modified are not removed, unless the [!] is given, then they become hidden. But modified buffers are never abandoned, so changes cannot get lost. > :tabonly " close all tab pages except the current " one :{count}tabo[nly][!] :tabo[nly][!] {count} Close all tab pages except {count} one. > :.tabonly " as above :-tabonly " close all tab pages except the previous " one :+tabonly " close all tab pages except the next one :1tabonly " close all tab pages except the first one :$tabonly " close all tab pages except the last one :tabonly - " close all tab pages except the previous " one :tabonly +2 " close all tab pages except the two next " one :tabonly 1 " close all tab pages except the first one :tabonly $ " close all tab pages except the last one :tabonly # " close all tab pages except the last " accessed one SWITCHING TO ANOTHER TAB PAGE: Using the mouse: If the tab page line is displayed you can click in a tab page label to switch to that tab page. Click where there is no label to go to the next tab page. \|'tabline'\| :tabn[ext] :tabn :tabnext gt <C-PageDown> CTRL-<PageDown> <C-PageDown> gt i_CTRL-<PageDown> i_<C-PageDown> Go to the next tab page. Wraps around from the last to the first one. :{count}tabn[ext] :tabn[ext] {count} Go to tab page {count}. The first tab page has number one. > :-tabnext " go to the previous tab page :+tabnext " go to the next tab page :+2tabnext " go to the two next tab page :1tabnext " go to the first tab page :$tabnext " go to the last tab page :tabnext $ " as above :tabnext # " go to the last accessed tab page :tabnext - " go to the previous tab page :tabnext -1 " as above :tabnext + " go to the next tab page :tabnext +1 " as above {count}<C-PageDown> {count}gt Go to tab page {count}. The first tab page has number one. :tabp[revious] :tabp :tabprevious gT :tabN :tabN[ext] :tabNext CTRL-<PageUp> <C-PageUp> <C-PageUp> i_CTRL-<PageUp> i_<C-PageUp> gT Go to the previous tab page. Wraps around from the first one to the last one. :tabp[revious] {count} :tabN[ext] {count} {count}<C-PageUp> {count}gT Go {count} tab pages back. Wraps around from the first one to the last one. Note that the use of {count} is different from \|:tabnext\|, where it is used as the tab page number. :tabr[ewind] :tabfir :tabfirst :tabr :tabrewind :tabfir[st] Go to the first tab page. :tabl :tablast :tabl[ast] Go to the last tab page. g<Tab> CTRL-W_g<Tab> <C-Tab> g<Tab> Go to the last accessed tab page. Other commands: :tabs :tabs List the tab pages and the windows they contain. Shows a ">" for the current window. Shows a "+" for modified buffers. For example: Tab page 1 ~ + tabpage.txt ~ ex_docmd.c ~ Tab page 2 ~ > main.c ~ REORDERING TAB PAGES: :tabm[ove] [N] :tabm :tabmove :[N]tabm[ove] Move the current tab page to after tab page N. Use zero to make the current tab page the first one. N is counted before the move, thus if the second tab is the current one, `:tabmove 1` and `:tabmove 2` have no effect. Without N the tab page is made the last one. > :.tabmove " do nothing :-tabmove " move the tab page to the left :+tabmove " move the tab page to the right :0tabmove " move the tab page to the beginning of the tab " list :tabmove 0 " as above :tabmove " move the tab page to the last :$tabmove " as above :tabmove $ " as above :tabmove # " move the tab page after the last accessed " tab page :tabm[ove] +[N] :tabm[ove] -[N] Move the current tab page N places to the right (with +) or to the left (with -). > :tabmove - " move the tab page to the left :tabmove -1 " as above :tabmove + " move the tab page to the right :tabmove +1 " as above Note that although it is possible to move a tab behind the N-th one by using :Ntabmove. And move it by N places by using :+Ntabmove. For clarification what +N means in this context see \|[range]\|. LOOPING OVER TAB PAGES: :tabd :tabdo :[range]tabd[o] {cmd} Execute {cmd} in each tab page or if [range] is given only in tab pages which tab page number is in the [range]. It works like doing this: > :tabfirst :{cmd} :tabnext :{cmd} etc. < This only operates in the current window of each tab page. When an error is detected on one tab page, further tab pages will not be visited. The last tab page (or where an error occurred) becomes the current tab page. {cmd} can contain '\|' to concatenate several commands. {cmd} must not open or close tab pages or reorder them. Also see \|:windo\|, \|:argdo\|, \|:bufdo\|, \|:cdo\|, \|:ldo\|, \|:cfdo\| and \|:lfdo\| ============================================================================== 3. Other items tab-page-other tabline-menu The GUI tab pages line has a popup menu. It is accessed with a right click. The entries are: Close Close the tab page under the mouse pointer. The current one if there is no label under the mouse pointer. New Tab Open a tab page, editing an empty buffer. It appears to the left of the mouse pointer. Open Tab... Like "New Tab" and additionally use a file selector to select a file to edit. Diff mode works per tab page. You can see the diffs between several files within one tab page. Other tab pages can show differences between other files. Variables local to a tab page start with "t:". \|tabpage-variable\| Currently there is only one option local to a tab page: 'cmdheight'. tabnew-autocmd The TabLeave and TabEnter autocommand events can be used to do something when switching from one tab page to another. The exact order depends on what you are doing. When creating a new tab page this works as if you create a new window on the same buffer and then edit another buffer. Thus ":tabnew" triggers: WinLeave leave current window TabLeave leave current tab page WinEnter enter window in new tab page TabEnter enter new tab page BufLeave leave current buffer BufEnter enter new empty buffer When switching to another tab page the order is: BufLeave WinLeave TabLeave TabEnter WinEnter BufEnter ============================================================================== 4. Setting 'tabline' setting-tabline The 'tabline' option specifies what the line with tab pages labels looks like. It is only used when there is no GUI tab line. You can use the 'showtabline' option to specify when you want the line with tab page labels to appear: never, when there is more than one tab page or always. The highlighting of the tab pages line is set with the groups TabLine TabLineSel and TabLineFill. \|hl-TabLine\| \|hl-TabLineSel\| \|hl-TabLineFill\| A "+" will be shown for a tab page that has a modified window. The number of windows in a tabpage is also shown. Thus "3+" means three windows and one of them has a modified buffer. The 'tabline' option allows you to define your preferred way to tab pages labels. This isn't easy, thus an example will be given here. For basics see the 'statusline' option. The same items can be used in the 'tabline' option. Additionally, the \|tabpagebuflist()\|, \|tabpagenr()\| and \|tabpagewinnr()\| functions are useful. Since the number of tab labels will vary, you need to use an expression for the whole option. Something like: > :set tabline=%!MyTabLine() Then define the MyTabLine() function to list all the tab pages labels. A convenient method is to split it in two parts: First go over all the tab pages and define labels for them. Then get the label for each tab page. > function MyTabLine() let s = '' for i in range(tabpagenr('$')) " select the highlighting if i + 1 == tabpagenr() let s .= '%#TabLineSel#' else let s .= '%#TabLine#' endif " set the tab page number (for mouse clicks) let s .= '%' . (i + 1) . 'T' " the label is made by MyTabLabel() let s .= ' %{MyTabLabel(' . (i + 1) . ')} ' endfor " after the last tab fill with TabLineFill and reset tab page nr let s .= '%#TabLineFill#%T' " right-align the label to close the current tab page if tabpagenr('$') > 1 let s .= '%=%#TabLine#%999Xclose' endif return s endfunction Now the MyTabLabel() function is called for each tab page to get its label. > function MyTabLabel(n) let buflist = tabpagebuflist(a:n) let winnr = tabpagewinnr(a:n) return bufname(buflist[winnr - 1]) endfunction This is just a simplistic example that results in a tab pages line that resembles the default, but without adding a + for a modified buffer or truncating the names. You will want to reduce the width of labels in a clever way when there is not enough room. Check the 'columns' option for the space available. ============================================================================== 5. Setting 'guitablabel' setting-guitablabel When the GUI tab pages line is displayed, 'guitablabel' can be used to specify the label to display for each tab page. Unlike 'tabline', which specifies the whole tab pages line at once, 'guitablabel' is used for each label separately. 'guitabtooltip' is very similar and is used for the tooltip of the same label. This only appears when the mouse pointer hovers over the label, thus it usually is longer. Only supported on some systems though. See the 'statusline' option for the format of the value. The "%N" item can be used for the current tab page number. The \|v:lnum\| variable is also set to this number when the option is evaluated. The items that use a file name refer to the current window of the tab page. Note that syntax highlighting is not used for the option. The %T and %X items are also ignored. A simple example that puts the tab page number and the buffer name in the label: > :set guitablabel=%N\ %f An example that resembles the default 'guitablabel': Show the number of windows in the tab page and a '+' if there is a modified buffer: > function GuiTabLabel() let label = '' let bufnrlist = tabpagebuflist(v:lnum) " Add '+' if one of the buffers in the tab page is modified for bufnr in bufnrlist if getbufvar(bufnr, "&modified") let label = '+' break endif endfor " Append the number of windows in the tab page if more than one let wincount = tabpagewinnr(v:lnum, '$') if wincount > 1 let label .= wincount endif if label != '' let label .= ' ' endif " Append the buffer name return label . bufname(bufnrlist[tabpagewinnr(v:lnum) - 1]) endfunction set guitablabel=%{GuiTabLabel()} Note that the function must be defined before setting the option, otherwise you get an error message for the function not being known. If you want to fall back to the default label, return an empty string. If you want to show something specific for a tab page, you might want to use a tab page local variable. \|t:var\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	16.84 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

📄 tagsrch.txt tagsrch.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Dec 19 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Tags and special searches tags-and-searches See section \|29.1\| of the user manual for an introduction. 1. Jump to a tag \|tag-commands\| 2. Tag stack \|tag-stack\| 3. Tag match list \|tag-matchlist\| 4. Tags details \|tag-details\| 5. Tags file format \|tags-file-format\| 6. Include file searches \|include-search\| 7. Using 'tagfunc' \|tag-function\| ============================================================================== 1. Jump to a tag tag-commands tag tags A tag is an identifier that appears in a "tags" file. It is a sort of label that can be jumped to. For example: In C programs each function name can be used as a tag. The "tags" file has to be generated by a program like ctags, before the tag commands can be used. With the ":tag" command the cursor will be positioned on the tag. With the CTRL-] command, the keyword on which the cursor is standing is used as the tag. If the cursor is not on a keyword, the first keyword to the right of the cursor is used. The ":tag" command works very well for C programs. If you see a call to a function and wonder what that function does, position the cursor inside of the function name and hit CTRL-]. This will bring you to the function definition. An easy way back is with the CTRL-T command. Also read about the tag stack below. :ta :tag E426 E429 :[count]ta[g][!] {name} Jump to the definition of {name}, using the information in the tags file(s). Put {name} in the tag stack. See \|tag-!\| for [!]. {name} can be a regexp pattern, see \|tag-regexp\|. When there are several matching tags for {name}, jump to the [count] one. When [count] is omitted the first one is jumped to. See \|tag-matchlist\| for jumping to other matching tags. g<LeftMouse> g<LeftMouse> <C-LeftMouse> <C-LeftMouse> CTRL-] CTRL-] Jump to the definition of the keyword under the cursor. Same as ":tag {name}", where {name} is the keyword under or after cursor. When there are several matching tags for {name}, jump to the [count] one. When no [count] is given the first one is jumped to. See \|tag-matchlist\| for jumping to other matching tags. v_CTRL-] {Visual}CTRL-] Same as ":tag {name}", where {name} is the text that is highlighted. telnet-CTRL-] CTRL-] is the default telnet escape key. When you type CTRL-] to jump to a tag, you will get the telnet prompt instead. Most versions of telnet allow changing or disabling the default escape key. See the telnet man page. You can 'telnet -E {Hostname}' to disable the escape character, or 'telnet -e {EscapeCharacter} {Hostname}' to specify another escape character. If possible, try to use "ssh" instead of "telnet" to avoid this problem. tag-priority When there are multiple matches for a tag, this priority is used: 1. "FSC" A full matching static tag for the current file. 2. "F C" A full matching global tag for the current file. 3. "F " A full matching global tag for another file. 4. "FS " A full matching static tag for another file. 5. " SC" An ignore-case matching static tag for the current file. 6. " C" An ignore-case matching global tag for the current file. 7. " " An ignore-case matching global tag for another file. 8. " S " An ignore-case matching static tag for another file. Note that when the current file changes, the priority list is mostly not changed, to avoid confusion when using ":tnext". It is changed when using ":tag {name}". The ignore-case matches are not found for a ":tag" command when: - 'tagcase' is "followic" and the 'ignorecase' option is off - 'tagcase' is "followscs" and the 'ignorecase' option is off and the 'smartcase' option is off or the pattern contains an upper case character. - 'tagcase' is "match" - 'tagcase' is "smart" and the pattern contains an upper case character. The ignore-case matches are found when: - a pattern is used (starting with a "/") - for ":tselect" - when 'tagcase' is "followic" and 'ignorecase' is on - when 'tagcase' is "followscs" and 'ignorecase' is on or the 'smartcase' option is on and the pattern does not contain an upper case character - when 'tagcase' is "ignore" - when 'tagcase' is "smart" and the patter does not contain an upper case character Note that using ignore-case tag searching disables binary searching in the tags file, which causes a slowdown. This can be avoided by fold-case sorting the tag file. See the 'tagbsearch' option for an explanation. ============================================================================== 2. Tag stack tag-stack tagstack E425 On the tag stack is remembered which tags you jumped to, and from where. Tags are only pushed onto the stack when the 'tagstack' option is set. g<RightMouse> g<RightMouse> <C-RightMouse> <C-RightMouse> CTRL-T CTRL-T Jump to [count] older entry in the tag stack (default 1). :po :pop E555 E556 :[count]po[p][!] Jump to [count] older entry in tag stack (default 1). See \|tag-!\| for [!]. :[count]ta[g][!] Jump to [count] newer entry in tag stack (default 1). See \|tag-!\| for [!]. :tags :tags Show the contents of the tag stack. The active entry is marked with a '>'. The output of ":tags" looks like this: # TO tag FROM line in file/text 1 1 main 1 harddisk2:text/vim/test > 2 2 FuncA 58 i = FuncA(10); 3 1 FuncC 357 harddisk2:text/vim/src/amiga.c This list shows the tags that you jumped to and the cursor position before that jump. The older tags are at the top, the newer at the bottom. The '>' points to the active entry. This is the tag that will be used by the next ":tag" command. The CTRL-T and ":pop" command will use the position above the active entry. Below the "TO" is the number of the current match in the match list. Note that this doesn't change when using ":pop" or ":tag". The line number and file name are remembered to be able to get back to where you were before the tag command. The line number will be correct, also when deleting/inserting lines, unless this was done by another program (e.g. another instance of Vim). For the current file, the "file/text" column shows the text at the position. An indent is removed and a long line is truncated to fit in the window. You can jump to previously used tags with several commands. Some examples: ":pop" or CTRL-T to position before previous tag {count}CTRL-T to position before {count} older tag ":tag" to newer tag ":0tag" to last used tag The most obvious way to use this is while browsing through the call graph of a program. Consider the following call graph: main ---> FuncA ---> FuncC ---> FuncB (Explanation: main calls FuncA and FuncB; FuncA calls FuncC). You can get from main to FuncA by using CTRL-] on the call to FuncA. Then you can CTRL-] to get to FuncC. If you now want to go back to main you can use CTRL-T twice. Then you can CTRL-] to FuncB. If you issue a ":ta {name}" or CTRL-] command, this tag is inserted at the current position in the stack. If the stack was full (it can hold up to 20 entries), the oldest entry is deleted and the older entries shift one position up (their index number is decremented by one). If the last used entry was not at the bottom, the entries below the last used one are deleted. This means that an old branch in the call graph is lost. After the commands explained above the tag stack will look like this: # TO tag FROM line in file/text 1 1 main 1 harddisk2:text/vim/test 2 1 FuncB 59 harddisk2:text/vim/src/main.c The \|gettagstack()\| function returns the tag stack of a specified window. The \|settagstack()\| function modifies the tag stack of a window. tagstack-examples Write to the tag stack just like `:tag` but with a user-defined jumper#jump_to_tag function: > " Store where we're jumping from before we jump. let tag = expand('<cword>') let pos = [bufnr()] + getcurpos()[1:] let item = {'bufnr': pos[0], 'from': pos, 'tagname': tag} if jumper#jump_to_tag(tag) " Jump was successful, write previous location to tag stack. let winid = win_getid() let stack = gettagstack(winid) let stack['items'] = [item] call settagstack(winid, stack, 't') endif < Set current index of the tag stack to 4: > call settagstack(1005, {'curidx' : 4}) < Push a new item onto the tag stack: > let pos = [bufnr('myfile.txt'), 10, 1, 0] let newtag = [{'tagname' : 'mytag', 'from' : pos}] call settagstack(2, {'items' : newtag}, 'a') < E73 When you try to use the tag stack while it doesn't contain anything you will get an error message. ============================================================================== 3. Tag match list tag-matchlist E427 E428 When there are several matching tags, these commands can be used to jump between them. Note that these commands don't change the tag stack, they keep the same entry. :ts :tselect :ts[elect][!] [name] List the tags that match [name], using the information in the tags file(s). When [name] is not given, the last tag name from the tag stack is used. See \|tag-!\| for [!]. With a '>' in the first column is indicated which is the current position in the list (if there is one). [name] can be a regexp pattern, see \|tag-regexp\|. See \|tag-priority\| for the priorities used in the listing. Example output: > # pri kind tag file 1 F f mch_delay os_amiga.c mch_delay(msec, ignoreinput) > 2 F f mch_delay os_msdos.c mch_delay(msec, ignoreinput) 3 F f mch_delay os_unix.c mch_delay(msec, ignoreinput) Type number and <Enter> (empty cancels): < See \|tag-priority\| for the "pri" column. Note that this depends on the current file, thus using ":tselect xxx" can produce different results. The "kind" column gives the kind of tag, if this was included in the tags file. The "info" column shows information that could be found in the tags file. It depends on the program that produced the tags file. When the list is long, you may get the \|more-prompt\|. If you already see the tag you want to use, you can type 'q' and enter the number. :sts :stselect :sts[elect][!] [name] Does ":tselect[!] [name]" and splits the window for the selected tag. g] g] Like CTRL-], but use ":tselect" instead of ":tag". v_g] {Visual}g] Same as "g]", but use the highlighted text as the identifier. :tj :tjump :tj[ump][!] [name] Like ":tselect", but jump to the tag directly when there is only one match. :stj :stjump :stj[ump][!] [name] Does ":tjump[!] [name]" and splits the window for the selected tag. g_CTRL-] g CTRL-] Like CTRL-], but use ":tjump" instead of ":tag". v_g_CTRL-] {Visual}g CTRL-] Same as "g CTRL-]", but use the highlighted text as the identifier. :tn :tnext :[count]tn[ext][!] Jump to [count] next matching tag (default 1). See \|tag-!\| for [!]. :tp :tprevious :[count]tp[revious][!] Jump to [count] previous matching tag (default 1). See \|tag-!\| for [!]. :tN :tNext :[count]tN[ext][!] Same as ":tprevious". :tr :trewind :[count]tr[ewind][!] Jump to first matching tag. If [count] is given, jump to [count]th matching tag. See \|tag-!\| for [!]. :tf :tfirst :[count]tf[irst][!] Same as ":trewind". :tl :tlast :tl[ast][!] Jump to last matching tag. See \|tag-!\| for [!]. :lt :ltag :lt[ag][!] [name] Jump to tag [name] and add the matching tags to a new location list for the current window. [name] can be a regexp pattern, see \|tag-regexp\|. When [name] is not given, the last tag name from the tag stack is used. The search pattern to locate the tag line is prefixed with "\V" to escape all the special characters (very nomagic). The location list showing the matching tags is independent of the tag stack. See \|tag-!\| for [!]. When there is no other message, Vim shows which matching tag has been jumped to, and the number of matching tags: > tag 1 of 3 or more The " or more" is used to indicate that Vim didn't try all the tags files yet. When using ":tnext" a few times, or with ":tlast", more matches may be found. When you didn't see this message because of some other message, or you just want to know where you are, this command will show it again (and jump to the same tag as last time): > :0tn < tag-skip-file When a matching tag is found for which the file doesn't exist, this match is skipped and the next matching tag is used. Vim reports this, to notify you of missing files. When the end of the list of matches has been reached, an error message is given. tag-preview The tag match list can also be used in the preview window. The commands are the same as above, with a "p" prepended. {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} :pts :ptselect :pts[elect][!] [name] Does ":tselect[!] [name]" and shows the new tag in a "Preview" window. See \|:ptag\| for more info. :ptj :ptjump :ptj[ump][!] [name] Does ":tjump[!] [name]" and shows the new tag in a "Preview" window. See \|:ptag\| for more info. :ptn :ptnext :[count]ptn[ext][!] ":tnext" in the preview window. See \|:ptag\|. :ptp :ptprevious :[count]ptp[revious][!] ":tprevious" in the preview window. See \|:ptag\|. :ptN :ptNext :[count]ptN[ext][!] Same as ":ptprevious". :ptr :ptrewind :[count]ptr[ewind][!] ":trewind" in the preview window. See \|:ptag\|. :ptf :ptfirst :[count]ptf[irst][!] Same as ":ptrewind". :ptl :ptlast :ptl[ast][!] ":tlast" in the preview window. See \|:ptag\|. ============================================================================== 4. Tags details tag-details static-tag A static tag is a tag that is defined for a specific file. In a C program this could be a static function. In Vi jumping to a tag sets the current search pattern. This means that the "n" command after jumping to a tag does not search for the same pattern that it did before jumping to the tag. Vim does not do this as we consider it to be a bug. If you really want the old Vi behavior, set the 't' flag in 'cpoptions'. tag-binary-search Vim uses binary searching in the tags file to find the desired tag quickly (when enabled at compile time \|+tag_binary\|). But this only works if the tags file was sorted on ASCII byte value. Therefore, if no match was found, another try is done with a linear search. If you only want the linear search, reset the 'tagbsearch' option. Or better: Sort the tags file! Note that the binary searching is disabled when not looking for a tag with a specific name. This happens when ignoring case and when a regular expression is used that doesn't start with a fixed string. Tag searching can be a lot slower then. The former can be avoided by case-fold sorting the tags file. See 'tagbsearch' for details. tag-regexp The ":tag" and ":tselect" commands accept a regular expression argument. See \|pattern\| for the special characters that can be used. When the argument starts with '/', it is used as a pattern. If the argument does not start with '/', it is taken literally, as a full tag name. Examples: > :tag main < jumps to the tag "main" that has the highest priority. > :tag /^get < jumps to the tag that starts with "get" and has the highest priority. > :tag /norm < lists all the tags that contain "norm", including "id_norm". When the argument both exists literally, and match when used as a regexp, a literal match has a higher priority. For example, ":tag /open" matches "open" before "open_file" and "file_open". When using a pattern case is ignored. If you want to match case use "\C" in the pattern. tag-! If the tag is in the current file this will always work. Otherwise the performed actions depend on whether the current file was changed, whether a ! is added to the command and on the 'autowrite' option: tag in file autowrite ~ current file changed ! option action ~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- yes x x x goto tag no no x x read other file, goto tag no yes yes x abandon current file, read other file, goto tag no yes no on write current file, read other file, goto tag no yes no off fail ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - If the tag is in the current file, the command will always work. - If the tag is in another file and the current file was not changed, the other file will be made the current file and read into the buffer. - If the tag is in another file, the current file was changed and a ! is added to the command, the changes to the current file are lost, the other file will be made the current file and read into the buffer. - If the tag is in another file, the current file was changed and the 'autowrite' option is on, the current file will be written, the other file will be made the current file and read into the buffer. - If the tag is in another file, the current file was changed and the 'autowrite' option is off, the command will fail. If you want to save the changes, use the ":w" command and then use ":tag" without an argument. This works because the tag is put on the stack anyway. If you want to lose the changes you can use the ":tag!" command. tag-security Note that Vim forbids some commands, for security reasons. This works like using the 'secure' option for exrc/vimrc files in the current directory. See \|trojan-horse\| and \|sandbox\|. When the {tagaddress} changes a buffer, you will get a warning message: "WARNING: tag command changed a buffer!!!" In a future version changing the buffer will be impossible. All this for security reasons: Somebody might hide a nasty command in the tags file, which would otherwise go unnoticed. Example: > :$d\|/tag-function-name/ In Vi the ":tag" command sets the last search pattern when the tag is searched for. In Vim this is not done, the previous search pattern is still remembered, unless the 't' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. emacs-tags emacs_tags E430 Emacs style tag files are only supported if Vim was compiled with the \|+emacs_tags\| feature enabled. Sorry, there is no explanation about Emacs tag files here, it is only supported for backwards compatibility :-). Lines in Emacs tags files can be very long. Vim only deals with lines of up to about 510 bytes. To see whether lines are ignored set 'verbose' to 5 or higher. Non-Emacs tags file lines can be any length. tags-option The 'tags' option is a list of file names. Each of these files is searched for the tag. This can be used to use a different tags file than the default file "tags". It can also be used to access a common tags file. The next file in the list is not used when: - A matching static tag for the current buffer has been found. - A matching global tag has been found. This also depends on whether case is ignored. Case is ignored when: - 'tagcase' is "followic" and 'ignorecase' is set - 'tagcase' is "ignore" - 'tagcase' is "smart" and the pattern only contains lower case characters. - 'tagcase' is "followscs" and 'smartcase' is set and the pattern only contains lower case characters. If case is not ignored, and the tags file only has a match without matching case, the next tags file is searched for a match with matching case. If no tag with matching case is found, the first match without matching case is used. If case is ignored, and a matching global tag with or without matching case is found, this one is used, no further tags files are searched. When a tag file name starts with "./", the '.' is replaced with the path of the current file. This makes it possible to use a tags file in the directory where the current file is (no matter what the current directory is). The idea of using "./" is that you can define which tag file is searched first: In the current directory ("tags,./tags") or in the directory of the current file ("./tags,tags"). For example: > :set tags=./tags,tags,/home/user/commontags In this example the tag will first be searched for in the file "tags" in the directory where the current file is. Next the "tags" file in the current directory. If it is not found there, then the file "/home/user/commontags" will be searched for the tag. This can be switched off by including the 'd' flag in 'cpoptions', to make it Vi compatible. "./tags" will then be the tags file in the current directory, instead of the tags file in the directory where the current file is. Instead of the comma a space may be used. Then a backslash is required for the space to be included in the string option: > :set tags=tags\ /home/user/commontags To include a space in a file name use three backslashes. To include a comma in a file name use two backslashes. For example, use: > :set tags=tag\\\ file,/home/user/common\\,tags for the files "tag file" and "/home/user/common,tags". The 'tags' option will have the value "tag\ file,/home/user/common\,tags". If the 'tagrelative' option is on (which is the default) and using a tag file in another directory, file names in that tag file are relative to the directory where the tag file is. ============================================================================== 5. Tags file format tags-file-format E431 ctags jtags A tags file can be created with an external command, for example "ctags". It will contain a tag for each function. Some versions of "ctags" will also make a tag for each "#defined" macro, typedefs, enums, etc. Some programs that generate tags files: ctags As found on most Unix systems. Only supports C. Only does the basic work. universal ctags A maintained version of ctags based on exuberant ctags. See https://ctags.io. Exuberant_ctags exuberant ctags This is a very good one. It works for C, C++, Java, Fortran, Eiffel and others. It can generate tags for many items. See http://ctags.sourceforge.net. No new version since 2009. etags Connected to Emacs. Supports many languages. JTags For Java, in Java. It can be found at http://www.fleiner.com/jtags/. ptags.py For Python, in Python. Found in your Python source directory at Tools/scripts/ptags.py. ptags For Perl, in Perl. It can be found at http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/nthiery/Tags/. gnatxref For Ada. See http://www.gnuada.org/. gnatxref is part of the gnat package. The lines in the tags file must have one of these two formats: 1. {tagname} {TAB} {tagfile} {TAB} {tagaddress} 2. {tagname} {TAB} {tagfile} {TAB} {tagaddress} {term} {field} .. Previously an old format was supported, see \|tag-old-static\|. The first format is a normal tag, which is completely compatible with Vi. It is the only format produced by traditional ctags implementations. This is often used for functions that are global, also referenced in other files. The lines in the tags file can end in <NL> or <CR><NL>. On the Macintosh <CR> also works. The <CR> and <NL> characters can never appear inside a line. The second format is new. It includes additional information in optional fields at the end of each line. It is backwards compatible with Vi. It is only supported by new versions of ctags (such as Exuberant ctags). {tagname} The identifier. Normally the name of a function, but it can be any identifier. It cannot contain a <Tab>. {TAB} One <Tab> character. Note: previous versions allowed any white space here. This has been abandoned to allow spaces in {tagfile}. {tagfile} The file that contains the definition of {tagname}. It can have an absolute or relative path. It may contain environment variables and wildcards (although the use of wildcards is doubtful). It cannot contain a <Tab>. {tagaddress} The Ex command that positions the cursor on the tag. It can be any Ex command, although restrictions apply (see \|tag-security\|). Posix only allows line numbers and search commands, which are mostly used. {term} ;" The two characters semicolon and double quote. This is interpreted by Vi as the start of a comment, which makes the following be ignored. This is for backwards compatibility with Vi, it ignores the following fields. Example: APP file /^static int APP;$/;" v When {tagaddress} is not a line number or search pattern, then {term} must be \|;". Here the bar ends the command (excluding the bar) and ;" is used to have Vi ignore the rest of the line. Example: APP file.c call cursor(3, 4)\|;" v {field} .. A list of optional fields. Each field has the form: <Tab>{fieldname}:{value} The {fieldname} identifies the field, and can only contain alphabetical characters [a-zA-Z]. The {value} is any string, but cannot contain a <Tab>. These characters are special: "\t" stands for a <Tab> "\r" stands for a <CR> "\n" stands for a <NL> "\\" stands for a single '\' character There is one field that doesn't have a ':'. This is the kind of the tag. It is handled like it was preceded with "kind:". See the documentation of ctags for the kinds it produces. The only other field currently recognized by Vim is "file:" (with an empty value). It is used for a static tag. The first lines in the tags file can contain lines that start with !_TAG_ These are sorted to the first lines, only rare tags that start with "!" can sort to before them. Vim recognizes two items. The first one is the line that indicates if the file was sorted. When this line is found, Vim uses binary searching for the tags file: !_TAG_FILE_SORTED<Tab>1<Tab>{anything} ~ A tag file may be case-fold sorted to avoid a linear search when case is ignored. (Case is ignored when 'ignorecase' is set and 'tagcase' is "followic", or when 'tagcase' is "ignore".) See 'tagbsearch' for details. The value '2' should be used then: !_TAG_FILE_SORTED<Tab>2<Tab>{anything} ~ The other tag that Vim recognizes is the encoding of the tags file: !_TAG_FILE_ENCODING<Tab>utf-8<Tab>{anything} ~ Here "utf-8" is the encoding used for the tags. Vim will then convert the tag being searched for from 'encoding' to the encoding of the tags file. And when listing tags the reverse happens. When the conversion fails the unconverted tag is used. tag-search The command can be any Ex command, but often it is a search command. Examples: tag1 file1 /^main(argc, argv)/ ~ tag2 file2 108 ~ The command is always executed with 'magic' not set. The only special characters in a search pattern are "^" (begin-of-line) and "$" (<EOL>). See \|pattern\|. Note that you must put a backslash before each backslash in the search text. This is for backwards compatibility with Vi. E434 E435 If the command is a normal search command (it starts and ends with "/" or "?"), some special handling is done: - Searching starts on line 1 of the file. The direction of the search is forward for "/", backward for "?". Note that 'wrapscan' does not matter, the whole file is always searched. - If the search fails, another try is done ignoring case. If that fails too, a search is done for: "^tagname[ \t](" (the tag with '^' prepended and "[ \t](" appended). When using function names, this will find the function name when it is in column 0. This will help when the arguments to the function have changed since the tags file was made. If this search also fails another search is done with: "^[#a-zA-Z_].\<tagname[ \t](" This means: A line starting with '#' or an identifier and containing the tag followed by white space and a '('. This will find macro names and function names with a type prepended. tag-old-static Until March 2019 (patch 8.1.1092) an outdated format was supported: {tagfile}:{tagname} {TAB} {tagfile} {TAB} {tagaddress} This format is for a static tag only. It is obsolete now, replaced by the second format. It is only supported by Elvis 1.x, older Vim versions and a few versions of ctags. A static tag is often used for functions that are local, only referenced in the file {tagfile}. Note that for the static tag, the two occurrences of {tagfile} must be exactly the same. Also see \|tags-option\| below, for how static tags are used. The support was removed, since when you can update to the new Vim version you should also be able to update ctags to one that supports the second format. ============================================================================== 6. Include file searches include-search definition-search E387 E388 E389 These commands look for a string in the current file and in all encountered included files (recursively). This can be used to find the definition of a variable, function or macro. If you only want to search in the current buffer, use the commands listed at \|pattern-searches\|. These commands are not available when the \|+find_in_path\| feature was disabled at compile time. When a line is encountered that includes another file, that file is searched before continuing in the current buffer. Files included by included files are also searched. When an include file could not be found it is silently ignored. Use the \|:checkpath\| command to discover which files could not be found, possibly your 'path' option is not set up correctly. Note: the included file is searched, not a buffer that may be editing that file. Only for the current file the lines in the buffer are used. The string can be any keyword or a defined macro. For the keyword any match will be found. For defined macros only lines that match with the 'define' option will be found. The default is "^#\sdefine", which is for C programs. For other languages you probably want to change this. See 'define' for an example for C++. The string cannot contain an end-of-line, only matches within a line are found. When a match is found for a defined macro, the displaying of lines continues with the next line when a line ends in a backslash. The commands that start with "[" start searching from the start of the current file. The commands that start with "]" start at the current cursor position. The 'include' option is used to define a line that includes another file. The default is "\^#\sinclude", which is for C programs. Note: Vim does not recognize C syntax, if the 'include' option matches a line inside "#ifdef/#endif" or inside a comment, it is searched anyway. The 'isfname' option is used to recognize the file name that comes after the matched pattern. The 'path' option is used to find the directory for the include files that do not have an absolute path. The 'comments' option is used for the commands that display a single line or jump to a line. It defines patterns that may start a comment. Those lines are ignored for the search, unless [!] is used. One exception: When the line matches the pattern "^# define" it is not considered to be a comment. If you want to list matches, and then select one to jump to, you could use a mapping to do that for you. Here is an example: > :map <F4> [I:let nr = input("Which one: ")<Bar>exe "normal " . nr ."[\t"<CR> < [i* [i Display the first line that contains the keyword under the cursor. The search starts at the beginning of the file. Lines that look like a comment are ignored (see 'comments' option). If a count is given, the count'th matching line is displayed, and comment lines are not ignored. ]i ]i like "[i", but start at the current cursor position. :is :isearch :[range]is[earch][!] [count] [/]pattern[/] Like "[i" and "]i", but search in [range] lines (default: whole file). See \|:search-args\| for [/] and [!]. [I [I Display all lines that contain the keyword under the cursor. Filenames and line numbers are displayed for the found lines. The search starts at the beginning of the file. ]I ]I like "[I", but start at the current cursor position. :il :ilist :[range]il[ist][!] [/]pattern[/] Like "[I" and "]I", but search in [range] lines (default: whole file). See \|:search-args\| for [/] and [!]. [_CTRL-I [ CTRL-I Jump to the first line that contains the keyword under the cursor. The search starts at the beginning of the file. Lines that look like a comment are ignored (see 'comments' option). If a count is given, the count'th matching line is jumped to, and comment lines are not ignored. ]_CTRL-I ] CTRL-I like "[ CTRL-I", but start at the current cursor position. :ij :ijump :[range]ij[ump][!] [count] [/]pattern[/] Like "[ CTRL-I" and "] CTRL-I", but search in [range] lines (default: whole file). See \|:search-args\| for [/] and [!]. CTRL-W CTRL-I CTRL-W_CTRL-I CTRL-W_i CTRL-W i Open a new window, with the cursor on the first line that contains the keyword under the cursor. The search starts at the beginning of the file. Lines that look like a comment line are ignored (see 'comments' option). If a count is given, the count'th matching line is jumped to, and comment lines are not ignored. :isp :isplit :[range]isp[lit][!] [count] [/]pattern[/] Like "CTRL-W i" and "CTRL-W i", but search in [range] lines (default: whole file). See \|:search-args\| for [/] and [!]. [d [d Display the first macro definition that contains the macro under the cursor. The search starts from the beginning of the file. If a count is given, the count'th matching line is displayed. ]d ]d like "[d", but start at the current cursor position. :ds :dsearch :[range]ds[earch][!] [count] [/]string[/] Like "[d" and "]d", but search in [range] lines (default: whole file). See \|:search-args\| for [/] and [!]. [D [D Display all macro definitions that contain the macro under the cursor. Filenames and line numbers are displayed for the found lines. The search starts from the beginning of the file. ]D ]D like "[D", but start at the current cursor position. :dli :dlist :[range]dli[st][!] [/]string[/] Like `[D` and `]D`, but search in [range] lines (default: whole file). See \|:search-args\| for [/] and [!]. Note that `:dl` works like `:delete` with the "l" flag, not `:dlist`. [_CTRL-D [ CTRL-D Jump to the first macro definition that contains the keyword under the cursor. The search starts from the beginning of the file. If a count is given, the count'th matching line is jumped to. ]_CTRL-D ] CTRL-D like "[ CTRL-D", but start at the current cursor position. :dj :djump :[range]dj[ump][!] [count] [/]string[/] Like "[ CTRL-D" and "] CTRL-D", but search in [range] lines (default: whole file). See \|:search-args\| for [/] and [!]. CTRL-W CTRL-D CTRL-W_CTRL-D CTRL-W_d CTRL-W d Open a new window, with the cursor on the first macro definition line that contains the keyword under the cursor. The search starts from the beginning of the file. If a count is given, the count'th matching line is jumped to. :dsp :dsplit :[range]dsp[lit][!] [count] [/]string[/] Like "CTRL-W d", but search in [range] lines (default: whole file). See \|:search-args\| for [/] and [!]. :che :chec :check :checkpath :che[ckpath] List all the included files that could not be found. :che[ckpath]! List all the included files. :search-args Common arguments for the commands above: [!] When included, find matches in lines that are recognized as comments. When excluded, a match is ignored when the line is recognized as a comment (according to 'comments'), or the match is in a C comment (after "//" or inside /* /). Note that a match may be missed if a line is recognized as a comment, but the comment ends halfway the line. And if the line is a comment, but it is not recognized (according to 'comments') a match may be found in it anyway. Example: > / comment foobar / < A match for "foobar" is found, because this line is not recognized as a comment (even though syntax highlighting does recognize it). Note: Since a macro definition mostly doesn't look like a comment, the [!] makes no difference for ":dlist", ":dsearch" and ":djump". [/] A pattern can be surrounded by '/'. Without '/' only whole words are matched, using the pattern "\<pattern\>". Only after the second '/' a next command can be appended with '\|'. Example: > :isearch /string/ \| echo "the last one" < For a ":djump", ":dsplit", ":dlist" and ":dsearch" command the pattern is used as a literal string, not as a search pattern. ============================================================================== 7. Using 'tagfunc' tag-function* It is possible to provide Vim with a function which will generate a list of tags used for commands like \|:tag\|, \|:tselect\| and Normal mode tag commands like \|CTRL-]\|. The function used for generating the taglist is specified by setting the 'tagfunc' option. The function will be called with three arguments: a:pattern The tag identifier or pattern used during the tag search. a:flags String containing flags to control the function behavior. a:info Dict containing the following entries: buf_ffname Full filename which can be used for priority. user_data Custom data String, if stored in the tag stack previously by tagfunc. Currently up to three flags may be passed to the tag function: 'c' The function was invoked by a normal command being processed (mnemonic: the tag function may use the context around the cursor to perform a better job of generating the tag list.) 'i' In Insert mode, the user was completing a tag (with \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-]\| or 'completeopt' contains `t`). 'r' The first argument to tagfunc should be interpreted as a \|pattern\| (see \|tag-regexp\|), such as when using: > :tag /pat < It is also given when completing in insert mode. If this flag is not present, the argument is usually taken literally as the full tag name. Note that when 'tagfunc' is set, the priority of the tags described in \|tag-priority\| does not apply. Instead, the priority is exactly as the ordering of the elements in the list returned by the function. E987 The function should return a List of Dict entries. Each Dict must at least include the following entries and each value must be a string: name Name of the tag. filename Name of the file where the tag is defined. It is either relative to the current directory or a full path. cmd Ex command used to locate the tag in the file. This can be either an Ex search pattern or a line number. Note that the format is similar to that of \|taglist()\|, which makes it possible to use its output to generate the result. The following fields are optional: kind Type of the tag. user_data String of custom data stored in the tag stack which can be used to disambiguate tags between operations. If the function returns \|v:null\| instead of a List, a standard tag lookup will be performed instead. It is not allowed to change the tagstack from inside 'tagfunc'. E986 The following is a hypothetical example of a function used for 'tagfunc'. It uses the output of \|taglist()\| to generate the result: a list of tags in the inverse order of file names. > function TagFunc(pattern, flags, info) function CompareFilenames(item1, item2) let f1 = a:item1['filename'] let f2 = a:item2['filename'] return f1 >=# f2 ? \ -1 : f1 <=# f2 ? 1 : 0 endfunction let result = taglist(a:pattern) call sort(result, "CompareFilenames") return result endfunc set tagfunc=TagFunc < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	39.33 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 term.txt term.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Jan 14 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Terminal information terminal-info Vim uses information about the terminal you are using to fill the screen and recognize what keys you hit. If this information is not correct, the screen may be messed up or keys may not be recognized. The actions which have to be performed on the screen are accomplished by outputting a string of characters. Special keys produce a string of characters. These strings are stored in the terminal options, see \|terminal-options\|. NOTE: Most of this is not used when running the \|GUI\|. 1. Startup \|startup-terminal\| 2. Terminal options \|terminal-options\| 3. Window size \|window-size\| 4. Slow and fast terminals \|slow-fast-terminal\| 5. Using the mouse \|mouse-using\| ============================================================================== 1. Startup startup-terminal When Vim is started a default terminal type is assumed. For the Amiga this is a standard CLI window, for MS-Windows the pc terminal, for Unix an ansi terminal. A few other terminal types are always available, see below \|builtin-terms\|. You can give the terminal name with the '-T' Vim argument. If it is not given Vim will try to get the name from the TERM environment variable. termcap terminfo E557 E558 E559 On Unix the terminfo database or termcap file is used. This is referred to as "termcap" in all the documentation. At compile time, when running configure, the choice whether to use terminfo or termcap is done automatically. When running Vim the output of ":version" will show \|+terminfo\| if terminfo is used. Also see \|xterm-screens\|. On non-Unix systems a termcap is only available if Vim was compiled with TERMCAP defined. builtin-terms builtin_terms Which builtin terminals are available depends on a few defines in feature.h, which need to be set at compile time: define output of ":version" terminals builtin ~ NO_BUILTIN_TCAPS -builtin_terms none SOME_BUILTIN_TCAPS +builtin_terms most common ones (default) ALL_BUILTIN_TCAPS ++builtin_terms all available You can see a list of available builtin terminals with ":set term=xxx" (when not running the GUI). Also see \|+builtin_terms\|. If the termcap code is included Vim will try to get the strings for the terminal you are using from the termcap file and the builtin termcaps. Both are always used, if an entry for the terminal you are using is present. Which one is used first depends on the 'ttybuiltin' option: 'ttybuiltin' on 1: builtin termcap 2: external termcap 'ttybuiltin' off 1: external termcap 2: builtin termcap If an option is missing in one of them, it will be obtained from the other one. If an option is present in both, the one first encountered is used. Which external termcap file is used varies from system to system and may depend on the environment variables "TERMCAP" and "TERMPATH". See "man tgetent". Settings depending on terminal term-dependent-settings If you want to set options or mappings, depending on the terminal name, you can do this best in your .vimrc. Example: > if &term == "xterm" ... xterm maps and settings ... elseif &term =~ "vt10." ... vt100, vt102 maps and settings ... endif < raw-terminal-mode For normal editing the terminal will be put into "raw" mode. The strings defined with 't_ti', 't_TI' and 't_ks' will be sent to the terminal. Normally this puts the terminal in a state where the termcap codes are valid and activates the cursor and function keys. When Vim exits the terminal will be put back into the mode it was before Vim started. The strings defined with 't_te', 't_TE' and 't_ke' will be sent to the terminal. On the Amiga, with commands that execute an external command (e.g., "!!"), the terminal will be put into Normal mode for a moment. This means that you can stop the output to the screen by hitting a printing key. Output resumes when you hit <BS>. Note: When 't_ti' is not empty, Vim assumes that it causes switching to the alternate screen. This may slightly change what happens when executing a shell command or exiting Vim. To avoid this use 't_TI' and 't_TE'. xterm-bracketed-paste When the 't_BE' option is set then 't_BE' will be sent to the terminal when entering "raw" mode and 't_BD' when leaving "raw" mode. The terminal is then expected to put 't_PS' before pasted text and 't_PE' after pasted text. This way Vim can separate text that is pasted from characters that are typed. The pasted text is handled like when the middle mouse button is used, it is inserted literally and not interpreted as commands. When the cursor is in the first column, the pasted text will be inserted before it. Otherwise the pasted text is appended after the cursor position. This means one cannot paste after the first column. Unfortunately Vim does not have a way to tell where the mouse pointer was. Note that in some situations Vim will not recognize the bracketed paste and you will get the raw text. In other situations Vim will only get the first pasted character and drop the rest, e.g. when using the "r" command. If you have a problem with this, disable bracketed paste by putting this in your .vimrc: > set t_BE= If this is done while Vim is running the 't_BD' will be sent to the terminal to disable bracketed paste. If your terminal supports bracketed paste, but the options are not set automatically, you can try using something like this: > if &term =~ "screen" let &t_BE = "\e[?2004h" let &t_BD = "\e[?2004l" exec "set t_PS=\e[200~" exec "set t_PE=\e[201~" endif < cs7-problem Note: If the terminal settings are changed after running Vim, you might have an illegal combination of settings. This has been reported on Solaris 2.5 with "stty cs8 parenb", which is restored as "stty cs7 parenb". Use "stty cs8 -parenb -istrip" instead, this is restored correctly. Some termcap entries are wrong in the sense that after sending 't_ks' the cursor keys send codes different from the codes defined in the termcap. To avoid this you can set 't_ks' (and 't_ke') to empty strings. This must be done during initialization (see \|initialization\|), otherwise it's too late. Some termcap entries assume that the highest bit is always reset. For example: The cursor-up entry for the Amiga could be ":ku=\E[A:". But the Amiga really sends "\233A". This works fine if the highest bit is reset, e.g., when using an Amiga over a serial line. If the cursor keys don't work, try the entry ":ku=\233A:". Some termcap entries have the entry ":ku=\E[A:". But the Amiga really sends "\233A". On output "\E[" and "\233" are often equivalent, on input they aren't. You will have to change the termcap entry, or change the key code with the :set command to fix this. Many cursor key codes start with an <Esc>. Vim must find out if this is a single hit of the <Esc> key or the start of a cursor key sequence. It waits for a next character to arrive. If it does not arrive within one second a single <Esc> is assumed. On very slow systems this may fail, causing cursor keys not to work sometimes. If you discover this problem reset the 'timeout' option. Vim will wait for the next character to arrive after an <Esc>. If you want to enter a single <Esc> you must type it twice. Resetting the 'esckeys' option avoids this problem in Insert mode, but you lose the possibility to use cursor and function keys in Insert mode. On the Amiga the recognition of window resizing is activated only when the terminal name is "amiga" or "builtin_amiga". Some terminals have confusing codes for the cursor keys. The televideo 925 is such a terminal. It sends a CTRL-H for cursor-left. This would make it impossible to distinguish a backspace and cursor-left. To avoid this problem CTRL-H is never recognized as cursor-left. vt100-cursor-keys xterm-cursor-keys Other terminals (e.g., vt100 and xterm) have cursor keys that send <Esc>OA, <Esc>OB, etc. Unfortunately these are valid commands in insert mode: Stop insert, Open a new line above the new one, start inserting 'A', 'B', etc. Instead of performing these commands Vim will erroneously recognize this typed key sequence as a cursor key movement. To avoid this and make Vim do what you want in either case you could use these settings: > :set notimeout " don't timeout on mappings :set ttimeout " do timeout on terminal key codes :set timeoutlen=100 " timeout after 100 msec This requires the key-codes to be sent within 100 msec in order to recognize them as a cursor key. When you type you normally are not that fast, so they are recognized as individual typed commands, even though Vim receives the same sequence of bytes. vt100-function-keys xterm-function-keys An xterm can send function keys F1 to F4 in two modes: vt100 compatible or not. Because Vim may not know what the xterm is sending, both types of keys are recognized. The same happens for the <Home> and <End> keys. normal vt100 ~ <F1> t_k1 <Esc>[11~ <xF1> <Esc>OP <xF1>-xterm <F2> t_k2 <Esc>[12~ <xF2> <Esc>OQ <xF2>-xterm <F3> t_k3 <Esc>[13~ <xF3> <Esc>OR <xF3>-xterm <F4> t_k4 <Esc>[14~ <xF4> <Esc>OS <xF4>-xterm <Home> t_kh <Esc>[7~ <xHome> <Esc>OH <xHome>-xterm <End> t_@7 <Esc>[4~ <xEnd> <Esc>OF <xEnd>-xterm When Vim starts, <xF1> is mapped to <F1>, <xF2> to <F2> etc. This means that by default both codes do the same thing. If you make a mapping for <xF2>, because your terminal does have two keys, the default mapping is overwritten, thus you can use the <F2> and <xF2> keys for something different. xterm-shifted-keys Newer versions of xterm support shifted function keys and special keys. Vim recognizes most of them. Use ":set termcap" to check which are supported and what the codes are. Mostly these are not in a termcap, they are only supported by the builtin_xterm termcap. xterm-modifier-keys Newer versions of xterm support Alt and Ctrl for most function keys. To avoid having to add all combinations of Alt, Ctrl and Shift for every key a special sequence is recognized at the end of a termcap entry: ";X". The "X" can be any character, often '~' is used. The ";" stands for an optional modifier argument. ";2" is Shift, ";3" is Alt, ";5" is Ctrl and ";9" is Meta (when it's different from Alt). They can be combined. Examples: > :set <F8>=^[[19;~ :set <Home>=^[[1;H Another speciality about these codes is that they are not overwritten by another code. That is to avoid that the codes obtained from xterm directly \|t_RV\| overwrite them. Another special value is a termcap entry ending in "@;X". This is for cursor keys, which either use "CSI X" or "CSI 1 ; modifier X". Thus the "@" stands for either "1" if a modifier follows, or nothing. xterm-scroll-region* The default termcap entry for xterm on Sun and other platforms does not contain the entry for scroll regions. Add ":cs=\E[%i%d;%dr:" to the xterm entry in /etc/termcap and everything should work. xterm-end-home-keys On some systems (at least on FreeBSD with XFree86 3.1.2) the codes that the <End> and <Home> keys send contain a <Nul> character. To make these keys send the proper key code, add these lines to your ~/.Xdefaults file: VT100.Translations: #override \n\ <Key>Home: string("0x1b") string("[7~") \n\ <Key>End: string("0x1b") string("[8~") xterm-8bit* xterm-8-bit Xterm can be run in a mode where it uses 8-bit escape sequences. The CSI code is used instead of <Esc>[. The advantage is that an <Esc> can quickly be recognized in Insert mode, because it can't be confused with the start of a special key. For the builtin termcap entries, Vim checks if the 'term' option contains "8bit" anywhere. It then uses 8-bit characters for the termcap entries, the mouse and a few other things. You would normally set $TERM in your shell to "xterm-8bit" and Vim picks this up and adjusts to the 8-bit setting automatically. When Vim receives a response to the \|t_RV\| (request version) sequence and it starts with CSI, it assumes that the terminal is in 8-bit mode and will convert all key sequences to their 8-bit variants. ============================================================================== 2. Terminal options terminal-options termcap-options E436 The terminal options can be set just like normal options. But they are not shown with the ":set all" command. Instead use ":set termcap". It is always possible to change individual strings by setting the appropriate option. For example: > :set t_ce=^V^[[K (CTRL-V, <Esc>, [, K) The options are listed below. The associated termcap code is always equal to the last two characters of the option name. Only one termcap code is required: Cursor motion, 't_cm'. The options 't_da', 't_db', 't_ms', 't_xs', 't_xn' represent flags in the termcap. When the termcap flag is present, the option will be set to "y". But any non-empty string means that the flag is set. An empty string means that the flag is not set. 't_CS' works like this too, but it isn't a termcap flag.

And vice versa. The same is done for "se" and "me". If your terminal supports both inversion and standout mode, you can see two different modes. If your terminal supports only one of the modes, both will look the same. keypad-comma The keypad keys, when they are not mapped, behave like the equivalent normal key. There is one exception: if you have a comma on the keypad instead of a decimal point, Vim will use a dot anyway. Use these mappings to fix that: > :noremap <kPoint> , :noremap! <kPoint> , < xterm-codes There is a special trick to obtain the key codes which currently only works for xterm. When \|t_RV\| is defined and a response is received which indicates an xterm with patchlevel 141 or higher, Vim uses special escape sequences to request the key codes directly from the xterm. The responses are used to adjust the various t_ codes. This avoids the problem that the xterm can produce different codes, depending on the mode it is in (8-bit, VT102, VT220, etc.). The result is that codes like <xF1> are no longer needed. Note: This is only done on startup. If the xterm options are changed after Vim has started, the escape sequences may not be recognized anymore. xterm-true-color Vim supports using true colors in the terminal (taken from \|highlight-guifg\| and \|highlight-guibg\|), given that the terminal supports this. To make this work the 'termguicolors' option needs to be set. See https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 for a list of terminals that support true colors. Sometimes setting 'termguicolors' is not enough and one has to set the \|t_8f\| and \|t_8b\| options explicitly. Default values of these options are "^[[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum" and "^[[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum" respectively, but it is only set when `$TERM` is `xterm`. Some terminals accept the same sequences, but with all semicolons replaced by colons (this is actually more compatible, but less widely supported): > let &t_8f = "\<Esc>[38:2:%lu:%lu:%lum" let &t_8b = "\<Esc>[48:2:%lu:%lu:%lum" These options contain printf strings, with \|printf()\| (actually, its C equivalent hence `l` modifier) invoked with the t_ option value and three unsigned long integers that may have any value between 0 and 255 (inclusive) representing red, green and blue colors respectively. xterm-resize Window resizing with xterm only works if the allowWindowOps resource is enabled. On some systems and versions of xterm it's disabled by default because someone thought it would be a security issue. It's not clear if this is actually the case. To overrule the default, put this line in your ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources: > XTermallowWindowOps: true And run "xrdb -merge .Xresources" to make it effective. You can check the value with the context menu (right mouse button while CTRL key is pressed), there should be a tick at allow-window-ops. xterm-focus-event* Some terminals including xterm support the focus event tracking feature. If this feature is enabled by the 't_fe' sequence, special key sequences are sent from the terminal to Vim every time the terminal gains or loses focus. Vim fires focus events (\|FocusGained\|/\|FocusLost\|) by handling them accordingly. Focus event tracking is disabled by a 't_fd' sequence when exiting "raw" mode. If you would like to disable this feature, add the following to your .vimrc: `set t_fd=` `set t_fe=` termcap-colors Note about colors: The 't_Co' option tells Vim the number of colors available. When it is non-zero, the 't_AB' and 't_AF' options are used to set the color. If one of these is not available, 't_Sb' and 't_Sf' are used. 't_me' is used to reset to the default colors. Also see 'termguicolors'. When the GUI is running 't_Co' is set to 16777216. termcap-cursor-shape termcap-cursor-color When Vim enters Insert mode the 't_SI' escape sequence is sent. When Vim enters Replace mode the 't_SR' escape sequence is sent if it is set, otherwise 't_SI' is sent. When leaving Insert mode or Replace mode 't_EI' is used. This can be used to change the shape or color of the cursor in Insert or Replace mode. These are not standard termcap/terminfo entries, you need to set them yourself. Example for an xterm, this changes the color of the cursor: > if &term =~ "xterm" let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]12;purple\x7" let &t_SR = "\<Esc>]12;red\x7" let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]12;blue\x7" endif NOTE: When Vim exits the shape for Normal mode will remain. The shape from before Vim started will not be restored. {not available when compiled without the \|+cursorshape\| feature} termcap-title The 't_ts' and 't_fs' options are used to set the window title if the terminal allows title setting via sending strings. They are sent before and after the title string, respectively. Similar 't_IS' and 't_IE' are used to set the icon text. These are Vim-internal extensions of the Unix termcap, so they cannot be obtained from an external termcap. However, the builtin termcap contains suitable entries for xterm and iris-ansi, so you don't need to set them here. hpterm If inversion or other highlighting does not work correctly, try setting the 't_xs' option to a non-empty string. This makes the 't_ce' code be used to remove highlighting from a line. This is required for "hpterm". Setting the 'weirdinvert' option has the same effect as making 't_xs' non-empty, and vice versa. scroll-region Some termcaps do not include an entry for "cs" (scroll region), although the terminal does support it. For example: xterm on a Sun. You can use the builtin_xterm or define t_cs yourself. For example: > :set t_cs=^V^[[%i%d;%dr Where ^V is CTRL-V and ^[ is <Esc>. The vertical scroll region t_CV is not a standard termcap code. Vim uses it internally in the GUI. But it can also be defined for a terminal, if you can find one that supports it. The two arguments are the left and right column of the region which to restrict the scrolling to. Just like t_cs defines the top and bottom lines. Defining t_CV will make scrolling in vertically split windows a lot faster. Don't set t_CV when t_da or t_db is set (text isn't cleared when scrolling). Unfortunately it is not possible to deduce from the termcap how cursor positioning should be done when using a scrolling region: Relative to the beginning of the screen or relative to the beginning of the scrolling region. Most terminals use the first method. The 't_CS' option should be set to any string when cursor positioning is relative to the start of the scrolling region. It should be set to an empty string otherwise. Note for xterm users: The shifted cursor keys normally don't work. You can make them work with the xmodmap command and some mappings in Vim. Give these commands in the xterm: xmodmap -e "keysym Up = Up F13" xmodmap -e "keysym Down = Down F16" xmodmap -e "keysym Left = Left F18" xmodmap -e "keysym Right = Right F19" And use these mappings in Vim: :map <t_F3> <S-Up> :map! <t_F3> <S-Up> :map <t_F6> <S-Down> :map! <t_F6> <S-Down> :map <t_F8> <S-Left> :map! <t_F8> <S-Left> :map <t_F9> <S-Right> :map! <t_F9> <S-Right> Instead of, say, <S-Up> you can use any other command that you want to use the shift-cursor-up key for. (Note: To help people that have a Sun keyboard with left side keys F14 is not used because it is confused with the undo key; F15 is not used, because it does a window-to-front; F17 is not used, because it closes the window. On other systems you can probably use them.) ============================================================================== 3. Window size window-size [This is about the size of the whole window Vim is using, not a window that is created with the ":split" command.] If you are running Vim on an Amiga and the terminal name is "amiga" or "builtin_amiga", the amiga-specific window resizing will be enabled. On Unix systems three methods are tried to get the window size: - an ioctl call (TIOCGSIZE or TIOCGWINSZ, depends on your system) - the environment variables "LINES" and "COLUMNS" - from the termcap entries "li" and "co" If everything fails a default size of 24 lines and 80 columns is assumed. If a window-resize signal is received the size will be set again. If the window size is wrong you can use the 'lines' and 'columns' options to set the correct values. One command can be used to set the screen size: :mod :mode E359 :mod[e] [mode] Without argument this only detects the screen size and redraws the screen. [mode] was used on MS-DOS, but it doesn't work anymore. ============================================================================== 4. Slow and fast terminals slow-fast-terminal slow-terminal If you have a fast terminal you may like to set the 'ruler' option. The cursor position is shown in the status line. If you are using horizontal scrolling ('wrap' option off) consider setting 'sidescroll' to a small number. If you have a slow terminal you may want to reset the 'showcmd' option. The command characters will not be shown in the status line. If the terminal scrolls very slowly, set the 'scrolljump' to 5 or so. If the cursor is moved off the screen (e.g., with "j") Vim will scroll 5 lines at a time. Another possibility is to reduce the number of lines that Vim uses with the command "z{height}<CR>". If the characters from the terminal are arriving with more than 1 second between them you might want to set the 'timeout' and/or 'ttimeout' option. See the "Options" chapter \|options\|. If your terminal does not support a scrolling region, but it does support insert/delete line commands, scrolling with multiple windows may make the lines jump up and down. If you don't want this set the 'ttyfast' option. This will redraw the window instead of scroll it. If your terminal scrolls very slowly, but redrawing is not slow, set the 'ttyscroll' option to a small number, e.g., 3. This will make Vim redraw the screen instead of scrolling, when there are more than 3 lines to be scrolled. If you are using a color terminal that is slow, use this command: > hi NonText cterm=NONE ctermfg=NONE This avoids that spaces are sent when they have different attributes. On most terminals you can't see this anyway. If you are using Vim over a slow serial line, you might want to try running Vim inside the "screen" program. Screen will optimize the terminal I/O quite a bit. If you are testing termcap options, but you cannot see what is happening, you might want to set the 'writedelay' option. When non-zero, one character is sent to the terminal at a time. This makes the screen updating a lot slower, making it possible to see what is happening. ============================================================================== 5. Using the mouse mouse-using This section is about using the mouse on a terminal or a terminal window. How to use the mouse in a GUI window is explained in \|gui-mouse\|. For scrolling with a mouse wheel see \|scroll-mouse-wheel\|. Don't forget to enable the mouse with this command: > :set mouse=a Otherwise Vim won't recognize the mouse in all modes (See 'mouse'). Currently the mouse is supported for Unix in an xterm window, in a BSD console with \|sysmouse\|, in a Linux console (with GPM \|gpm-mouse\|), and in a Windows console. Mouse clicks can be used to position the cursor, select an area and paste. These characters in the 'mouse' option tell in which situations the mouse will be used by Vim: n Normal mode v Visual mode i Insert mode c Command-line mode h all previous modes when in a help file a all previous modes r for \|hit-enter\| prompt The default for 'mouse' is empty, the mouse is not used. Normally you would do: > :set mouse=a to start using the mouse (this is equivalent to setting 'mouse' to "nvich"). If you only want to use the mouse in a few modes or also want to use it for the two questions you will have to concatenate the letters for those modes. For example: > :set mouse=nv Will make the mouse work in Normal mode and Visual mode. > :set mouse=h Will make the mouse work in help files only (so you can use "g<LeftMouse>" to jump to tags). Whether the selection that is started with the mouse is in Visual mode or Select mode depends on whether "mouse" is included in the 'selectmode' option. terminal-mouse* In an xterm, with the currently active mode included in the 'mouse' option, normal mouse clicks are used by Vim, mouse clicks with the shift or ctrl key pressed go to the xterm. With the currently active mode not included in 'mouse' all mouse clicks go to the xterm. For terminals where it is not possible to have the mouse events be used by the terminal itself by using a modifier, a workaround is to not use mouse events for Vim in command-line mode: > :set mouse=nvi Then to select text with the terminal, use ":" to go to command-line mode, select and copy the text to the system, then press Esc. Another way is to temporarily use ":sh" to run a shell, copy the text, then exit the shell. 'mouse' can remain set to "a" then. xterm-clipboard In the Athena and Motif GUI versions, when running in a terminal and there is access to the X-server (DISPLAY is set), the copy and paste will behave like in the GUI. If not, the middle mouse button will insert the unnamed register. In that case, here is how you copy and paste a piece of text: Copy/paste with the mouse and Visual mode ('mouse' option must be set, see above): 1. Press left mouse button on first letter of text, move mouse pointer to last letter of the text and release the button. This will start Visual mode and highlight the selected area. 2. Press "y" to yank the Visual text in the unnamed register. 3. Click the left mouse button at the insert position. 4. Click the middle mouse button. Shortcut: If the insert position is on the screen at the same time as the Visual text, you can do 2, 3 and 4 all in one: Click the middle mouse button at the insert position. Note: When the \|-X\| command line argument is used, Vim will not connect to the X server and copy/paste to the X clipboard (selection) will not work. Use the shift key with the mouse buttons to let the xterm do the selection. xterm-command-server When the X-server clipboard is available, the command server described in \|x11-clientserver\| can be enabled with the --servername command line argument. xterm-copy-paste NOTE: In some (older) xterms, it's not possible to move the cursor past column 95 or 223. This is an xterm problem, not Vim's. Get a newer xterm \|color-xterm\|. Also see \|'ttymouse'\|. Copy/paste in xterm with (current mode NOT included in 'mouse'): 1. Press left mouse button on first letter of text, move mouse pointer to last letter of the text and release the button. 2. Use normal Vim commands to put the cursor at the insert position. 3. Press "a" to start Insert mode. 4. Click the middle mouse button. 5. Press ESC to end Insert mode. (The same can be done with anything in 'mouse' if you keep the shift key pressed while using the mouse.) Note: if you lose the 8th bit when pasting (special characters are translated into other characters), you may have to do "stty cs8 -istrip -parenb" in your shell before starting Vim. Thus in an xterm the shift and ctrl keys cannot be used with the mouse. Mouse commands requiring the CTRL modifier can be simulated by typing the "g" key before using the mouse: "g<LeftMouse>" is "<C-LeftMouse> (jump to tag under mouse click) "g<RightMouse>" is "<C-RightMouse> ("CTRL-T") mouse-mode-table mouse-overview A short overview of what the mouse buttons do, when 'mousemodel' is "extend": Normal Mode: event position selection change action ~ cursor window ~ <LeftMouse> yes end yes <C-LeftMouse> yes end yes "CTRL-]" (2) <S-LeftMouse> yes no change yes "" (2) <S-LeftMouse>* <LeftDrag> yes start or extend (1) no <LeftDrag> <LeftRelease> yes start or extend (1) no <MiddleMouse> yes if not active no put <MiddleMouse> yes if active no yank and put <RightMouse> yes start or extend yes <A-RightMouse> yes start or extend blockw. yes <A-RightMouse> <S-RightMouse> yes no change yes "#" (2) <S-RightMouse> <C-RightMouse> no no change no "CTRL-T" <RightDrag> yes extend no <RightDrag> <RightRelease> yes extend no <RightRelease> Insert or Replace Mode: event position selection change action ~ cursor window ~ <LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) yes <C-LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) yes "CTRL-O^]" (2) <S-LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) yes "CTRL-O" (2) <LeftDrag> yes start or extend (1) no like CTRL-O (1) <LeftRelease> yes start or extend (1) no like CTRL-O (1) <MiddleMouse> no (cannot be active) no put register <RightMouse> yes start or extend yes like CTRL-O <A-RightMouse> yes start or extend blockw. yes <S-RightMouse> yes (cannot be active) yes "CTRL-O#" (2) <C-RightMouse> no (cannot be active) no "CTRL-O CTRL-T" In a help window: event position selection change action ~ cursor window ~ <2-LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) no "^]" (jump to help tag) When 'mousemodel' is "popup", these are different: Normal Mode: event position selection change action ~ cursor window ~ <S-LeftMouse> yes start or extend (1) no <A-LeftMouse> yes start or extend blockw. no <A-LeftMouse>* <RightMouse> no popup menu no Insert or Replace Mode: event position selection change action ~ cursor window ~ <S-LeftMouse> yes start or extend (1) no like CTRL-O (1) <A-LeftMouse> yes start or extend blockw. no <RightMouse> no popup menu no (1) only if mouse pointer moved since press (2) only if click is in same buffer Clicking the left mouse button causes the cursor to be positioned. If the click is in another window that window is made the active window. When editing the command-line the cursor can only be positioned on the command-line. When in Insert mode Vim remains in Insert mode. If 'scrolloff' is set, and the cursor is positioned within 'scrolloff' lines from the window border, the text is scrolled. A selection can be started by pressing the left mouse button on the first character, moving the mouse to the last character, then releasing the mouse button. You will not always see the selection until you release the button, only in some versions (GUI, Win32) will the dragging be shown immediately. Note that you can make the text scroll by moving the mouse at least one character in the first/last line in the window when 'scrolloff' is non-zero. In Normal, Visual and Select mode clicking the right mouse button causes the Visual area to be extended. When 'mousemodel' is "popup", the left button has to be used while keeping the shift key pressed. When clicking in a window which is editing another buffer, the Visual or Select mode is stopped. In Normal, Visual and Select mode clicking the right mouse button with the alt key pressed causes the Visual area to become blockwise. When 'mousemodel' is "popup" the left button has to be used with the alt key. Note that this won't work on systems where the window manager consumes the mouse events when the alt key is pressed (it may move the window). double-click Double, triple and quadruple clicks are supported when the GUI is active, for Win32, and for an xterm (if the gettimeofday() function is available). For selecting text, extra clicks extend the selection: click select ~ double word or % match <2-LeftMouse> triple line <3-LeftMouse> quadruple rectangular block <4-LeftMouse> Exception: In a Help window a double click jumps to help for the word that is clicked on. A double click on a word selects that word. 'iskeyword' is used to specify which characters are included in a word. A double click on a character that has a match selects until that match (like using "v%"). If the match is an #if/#else/#endif block, the selection becomes linewise. For MS-Windows and xterm the time for double clicking can be set with the 'mousetime' option. For the other systems this time is defined outside of Vim. An example, for using a double click to jump to the tag under the cursor: > :map <2-LeftMouse> :exe "tag ". expand("<cword>")<CR> Dragging the mouse with a double click (button-down, button-up, button-down and then drag) will result in whole words to be selected. This continues until the button is released, at which point the selection is per character again. gpm-mouse The GPM mouse is only supported when the \|+mouse_gpm\| feature was enabled at compile time. The GPM mouse driver (Linux console) does not support quadruple clicks. In Insert mode, when a selection is started, Vim goes into Normal mode temporarily. When Visual or Select mode ends, it returns to Insert mode. This is like using CTRL-O in Insert mode. Select mode is used when the 'selectmode' option contains "mouse". sysmouse The sysmouse is only supported when the \|+mouse_sysmouse\| feature was enabled at compile time. The sysmouse driver (BSD console) does not support keyboard modifiers. drag-status-line* When working with several windows, the size of the windows can be changed by dragging the status line with the mouse. Point the mouse at a status line, press the left button, move the mouse to the new position of the status line, release the button. Just clicking the mouse in a status line makes that window the current window, without moving the cursor. If by selecting a window it will change position or size, the dragging of the status line will look confusing, but it will work (just try it). <MiddleRelease> <MiddleDrag> Mouse clicks can be mapped. The codes for mouse clicks are: code mouse button normal action ~ <LeftMouse> left pressed set cursor position <LeftDrag> left moved while pressed extend selection <LeftRelease> left released set selection end <MiddleMouse> middle pressed paste text at cursor position <MiddleDrag> middle moved while pressed - <MiddleRelease> middle released - <RightMouse> right pressed extend selection <RightDrag> right moved while pressed extend selection <RightRelease> right released set selection end <X1Mouse> X1 button pressed - X1Mouse <X1Drag> X1 moved while pressed - X1Drag <X1Release> X1 button release - X1Release <X2Mouse> X2 button pressed - X2Mouse <X2Drag> X2 moved while pressed - X2Drag <X2Release> X2 button release - X2Release The X1 and X2 buttons refer to the extra buttons found on some mice. The 'Microsoft Explorer' mouse has these buttons available to the right thumb. Currently X1 and X2 only work on Win32 and X11 environments. Examples: > :noremap <MiddleMouse> <LeftMouse><MiddleMouse> Paste at the position of the middle mouse button click (otherwise the paste would be done at the cursor position). > :noremap <LeftRelease> <LeftRelease>y Immediately yank the selection, when using Visual mode. Note the use of ":noremap" instead of "map" to avoid a recursive mapping. > :map <X1Mouse> <C-O> :map <X2Mouse> <C-I> Map the X1 and X2 buttons to go forwards and backwards in the jump list, see \|CTRL-O\| and \|CTRL-I\|. mouse-swap-buttons To swap the meaning of the left and right mouse buttons: > :noremap <LeftMouse> <RightMouse> :noremap <LeftDrag> <RightDrag> :noremap <LeftRelease> <RightRelease> :noremap <RightMouse> <LeftMouse> :noremap <RightDrag> <LeftDrag> :noremap <RightRelease> <LeftRelease> :noremap g<LeftMouse> <C-RightMouse> :noremap g<RightMouse> <C-LeftMouse> :noremap! <LeftMouse> <RightMouse> :noremap! <LeftDrag> <RightDrag> :noremap! <LeftRelease> <RightRelease> :noremap! <RightMouse> <LeftMouse> :noremap! <RightDrag> <LeftDrag> :noremap! <RightRelease> <LeftRelease> < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	46.38 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Basic use terminal-use This feature is for running a terminal emulator in a Vim window. A job can be started connected to the terminal emulator. For example, to run a shell: > :term bash Or to run build command: > :term make myprogram The job runs asynchronously from Vim, the window will be updated to show output from the job, also while editing in another window. Typing ~ terminal-typing When the keyboard focus is in the terminal window, typed keys will be sent to the job. This uses a pty when possible. You can click outside of the terminal window to move keyboard focus elsewhere. t_CTRL-W_CTRL-W t_CTRL-W_: CTRL-W can be used to navigate between windows and other CTRL-W commands, e.g.: CTRL-W CTRL-W move focus to the next window CTRL-W : enter an Ex command See \|CTRL-W\| for more commands. Special in the terminal window: t_CTRL-W_. t_CTRL-W_N CTRL-W . send a CTRL-W to the job in the terminal CTRL-W CTRL-\ send a CTRL-\ to the job in the terminal CTRL-W N go to Terminal-Normal mode, see \|Terminal-mode\| CTRL-\ CTRL-N go to Terminal-Normal mode, see \|Terminal-mode\| CTRL-W " {reg} paste register {reg} t_CTRL-W_quote Also works with the = register to insert the result of evaluating an expression. CTRL-W CTRL-C ends the job, see below \|t_CTRL-W_CTRL-C\| CTRL-W gt go to next tabpage, same as `gt` t_CTRL-W_gt CTRL-W gT go to previous tabpage, same as `gT` t_CTRL-W_gT See option 'termwinkey' for specifying another key instead of CTRL-W that will work like CTRL-W. However, typing 'termwinkey' twice sends 'termwinkey' to the job. For example: 'termwinkey' CTRL-W move focus to the next window 'termwinkey' : enter an Ex command 'termwinkey' 'termwinkey' send 'termwinkey' to the job in the terminal 'termwinkey' . send 'termwinkey' to the job in the terminal 'termwinkey' CTRL-\ send a CTRL-\ to the job in the terminal 'termwinkey' N go to terminal Normal mode, see below 'termwinkey' CTRL-N same as CTRL-W N \|t_CTRL-W_N\| 'termwinkey' CTRL-C same as CTRL-W CTRL-C \|t_CTRL-W_CTRL-C\| t_CTRL-\_CTRL-N The special key combination CTRL-\ CTRL-N can be used to switch to Normal mode, just like this works in any other mode. t_CTRL-W_CTRL-C CTRL-W CTRL-C can be typed to forcefully end the job. On MS-Windows a CTRL-BREAK will also kill the job. If you type CTRL-C the effect depends on what the pty has been configured to do. For simple commands this causes a SIGINT to be sent to the job, which would end it. Other commands may ignore the SIGINT or handle the CTRL-C themselves (like Vim does). To change the keys you type use terminal mode mappings, see \|:tmap\|. These are defined like any mapping, but apply only when typing keys that are sent to the job running in the terminal. For example, to make F1 switch to Terminal-Normal mode: > tnoremap <F1> <C-W>N You can use Esc, but you need to make sure it won't cause other keys to break (cursor keys start with an Esc, so they may break), this probably only works in the GUI: > tnoremap <Esc> <C-W>N set notimeout ttimeout timeoutlen=100 You can also create menus similar to terminal mode mappings, but you have to use \|:tlmenu\| instead of \|:tmenu\|. options-in-terminal After opening the terminal window and setting 'buftype' to "terminal" the \|TerminalWinOpen\| autocommand event is triggered. This makes it possible to set options specifically for the terminal window and buffer. Example: > au TerminalWinOpen * setlocal bufhidden=hide This only works properly if the terminal is not hidden. For both hidden and non-hidden terminals this works, both for buffer-local and window-local options: > au TerminalWinOpen,BufWinEnter * if &buftype == 'terminal' \ \| setlocal bufhidden=hide colorcolumn=123 \ \| endif Note that for a hidden terminal the options are not set until the terminal is no longer hidden. There is also the \|TerminalOpen\| event. Keep in mind this may be triggered for a hidden terminal, then the current window and buffer are not that of the new terminal. You need to use <abuf>, which is set to the terminal buffer. Example: > au TerminalOpen * call setbufvar(expand('<abuf>')->str2nr(), \ '&termwinscroll', 1000) For a window-local option, you need to delay setting the option until the terminal window has been created (this only works for a hidden terminal): > au TerminalOpen * exe printf( \ 'au BufWinEnter <buffer=%d> ++once setlocal colorcolumn=%d', \ expand('<abuf>')->str2nr(), 123) For a non-hidden terminal use \|TerminalWinOpen\|. Mouse events (click and drag) are passed to the terminal. Mouse move events are only passed when Vim itself is receiving them. For a terminal that is when 'balloonevalterm' is enabled. Size and color ~ terminal-size-color See option 'termwinsize' for controlling the size of the terminal window. (TODO: scrolling when the terminal is larger than the window) The job running in the terminal can change the colors. The default foreground and background colors are taken from Vim, the Normal highlight group. For a color terminal the 'background' option is used to decide whether the terminal window will start with a white or black background. To use a different color the Terminal highlight group can be used, for example: > hi Terminal ctermbg=lightgrey ctermfg=blue guibg=lightgrey guifg=blue The highlight needs to be defined before the terminal is created. Doing it later, or setting 'wincolor', will only have effect when the program running in the terminal displays text or clears the terminal. Instead of Terminal another group can be specified with the "term_highlight" option for `term_start()`. g:terminal_ansi_colors In GUI mode or with 'termguicolors', the 16 ANSI colors used by default in new terminal windows may be configured using the variable `g:terminal_ansi_colors`, which should be a list of 16 color names or hexadecimal color codes, similar to those accepted by \|highlight-guifg\|. When not using GUI colors, the terminal window always uses the 16 ANSI colors of the underlying terminal. When using `term_start()` the colors can be set with the "ansi_colors" option. The \|term_setansicolors()\| function can be used to change the colors, and \|term_getansicolors()\| to get the currently used colors. Command syntax ~ :[range]ter[minal] [options] [command] :ter :terminal Open a new terminal window. If [command] is provided run it as a job and connect the input and output to the terminal. If [command] is not given the 'shell' option is used. if [command] is NONE no job is started, the pty of the terminal can be used by a command like gdb. If [command] is missing the default behavior is to close the terminal when the shell exits. This can be changed with the ++noclose argument. If [command] is present the default behavior is to keep the terminal open in Terminal-Normal mode. This can be changed with the ++close argument. No Vim command can follow, any \| is included in [command]. Use `:execute` if you must have a Vim command following in the same line. A new buffer will be created, using [command] or 'shell' as the name, prefixed with a "!". If a buffer by this name already exists a number is added in parentheses. E.g. if "gdb" exists the second terminal buffer will use "!gdb (1)". If [range] is given the specified lines are used as input for the job. It will not be possible to type keys in the terminal window. For MS-Windows see the ++eof argument below. term++close term++open Supported [options] are: ++close The terminal window will close automatically when the job terminates. \|terminal-close\| ++noclose The terminal window will NOT close automatically when the job terminates. ++open When the job terminates and no window shows it, a window will be opened. Note that this can be interruptive. The last of ++close, ++noclose and ++open matters and rules out earlier arguments. ++curwin Open the terminal in the current window, do not split the current window. Fails if the current buffer cannot be \|abandon\|ed. ++hidden Open the terminal in a hidden buffer, no window will be used. ++norestore Do not include this terminal window in a session file. ++shell Instead of executing {command} directly, use a shell, like with `:!command` E279 {only works on Unix currently} ++kill={how} When trying to close the terminal window kill the job with {how}. See \|term_setkill()\| for the values. ++rows={height} Use {height} for the terminal window height. If the terminal uses the full Vim height (no window above or below the terminal window) the command line height will be reduced as needed. ++cols={width} Use {width} for the terminal window width. If the terminal uses the full Vim width (no window left or right of the terminal window) this value is ignored. ++eof={text} When using [range]: text to send after the last line was written. Cannot contain white space. A CR is appended. For MS-Windows the default is to send CTRL-D. E.g. for a shell use "++eof=exit" and for Python "++eof=exit()". Special codes can be used like with `:map`, e.g. "<C-Z>" for CTRL-Z. ++type={pty} (MS-Windows only): Use {pty} as the virtual console. See 'termwintype' for the values. ++api={expr} Permit the function name starting with {expr} to be called as \|terminal-api\| function. If {expr} is empty then no function can be called. If you want to use more options use the \|term_start()\| function. If you want to split the window vertically, use: > :vertical terminal < Or short: > :vert ter When the buffer associated with the terminal is forcibly unloaded or wiped out the job is killed, similar to calling `job_stop(job, "kill")` . Closing the window normally results in \|E947\|. When a kill method was set with "++kill={how}" or \|term_setkill()\| then closing the window will use that way to kill or interrupt the job. For example: > :term ++kill=term tail -f /tmp/log So long as the job is running the window behaves like it contains a modified buffer. Trying to close the window with `CTRL-W :quit` fails. When using `CTRL-W :quit!` the job is ended. The text in the window is lost. The buffer still exists, but getting it in a window with `:buffer` will show an empty buffer. Trying to close the window with `CTRL-W :close` also fails. Using `CTRL-W :close!` will close the window and make the buffer hidden. You can use `CTRL-W :hide` to close the terminal window and make the buffer hidden, the job keeps running. The `:buffer` command can be used to turn the current window into a terminal window. If there are unsaved changes this fails, use ! to force, as usual. terminal-close When the terminal window is closed, e.g. when the shell exits and "++close" argument was used, and this is the last normal Vim window, then Vim will exit. This is like using \|:quit\| in a normal window. Help and preview windows are not counted. To have a background job run without a window, and open the window when it's done, use options like this: > :term ++hidden ++open make Note that the window will open at an unexpected moment, this will interrupt what you are doing. E947 E948 So long as the job is running, the buffer is considered modified and Vim cannot be quit easily, see \|abandon\|. When the job has finished and no changes were made to the buffer: closing the window will wipe out the buffer. Before changes can be made to a terminal buffer, the 'modifiable' option must be set. This is only possible when the job has finished. At the first change the buffer will become a normal buffer and the highlighting is removed. You may want to change the buffer name with \|:file\| to be able to write, since the buffer name will still be set to the command. Resizing ~ terminal-resizing The size of the terminal can be in one of three modes: 1. The 'termwinsize' option is empty: The terminal size follows the window size. The minimal size is 2 screen lines with 10 cells. 2. The 'termwinsize' option is "rowscols", where "rows" is the minimal number of screen rows and "cols" is the minimal number of cells. 3. The 'termwinsize' option is "rowsXcols" (where the x is upper or lower case). The terminal size is fixed to the specified number of screen lines and cells. If the window is bigger there will be unused empty space. If the window is smaller than the terminal size, only part of the terminal can be seen (the lower-left part). The \|term_getsize()\| function can be used to get the current size of the terminal. \|term_setsize()\| can be used only when in the first or second mode, not when 'termwinsize' is "rowsXcols". Terminal-Job and Terminal-Normal mode ~ Terminal-mode* Terminal-Job When the job is running the contents of the terminal is under control of the job. That includes the cursor position. Typed keys are sent to the job. The terminal contents can change at any time. This is called Terminal-Job mode. Use CTRL-W N (or 'termwinkey' N) to switch to Terminal-Normal mode. Now the contents of the terminal window is under control of Vim, the job output is suspended. CTRL-\ CTRL-N does the same. Terminal-Job mode is where \|:tmap\| mappings are applied. Keys sent by \|term_sendkeys()\| are not subject to tmap, but keys from \|feedkeys()\| are. It is not possible to enter Insert mode from Terminal-Job mode. Terminal-Normal E946 In Terminal-Normal mode you can move the cursor around with the usual Vim commands, Visually mark text, yank text, etc. But you cannot change the contents of the buffer. The commands that would start insert mode, such as 'i' and 'a', return to Terminal-Job mode. The window will be updated to show the contents of the terminal. \|:startinsert\| is ineffective. In Terminal-Normal mode the statusline and window title show "(Terminal)". If the job ends while in Terminal-Normal mode this changes to "(Terminal-finished)". When the job outputs lines in the terminal, such that the contents scrolls off the top, those lines are remembered and can be seen in Terminal-Normal mode. The number of lines is limited by the 'termwinscroll' option. When going over this limit, the first 10% of the scrolled lines are deleted and are lost. Cursor style ~ terminal-cursor-style By default the cursor in the terminal window uses a not blinking block. The normal xterm escape sequences can be used to change the blinking state and the shape. Once focus leaves the terminal window Vim will restore the original cursor. An exception is when xterm is started with the "-bc" argument, or another way that causes the cursor to blink. This actually means that the blinking flag is inverted. Since Vim cannot detect this, the terminal window cursor blinking will also be inverted. Session ~ terminal-session A terminal window will be restored when using a session file, if possible and wanted. If "terminal" was removed from 'sessionoptions' then no terminal windows will be restored. If the job in the terminal was finished the window will not be restored. If the terminal can be restored, the command that was used to open it will be used again. To change this use the \|term_setrestore()\| function. This can also be used to not restore a specific terminal by setting the command to "NONE". Special keys ~ terminal-special-keys Since the terminal emulator simulates an xterm, only escape sequences that both Vim and xterm recognize will be available in the terminal window. If you want to pass on other escape sequences to the job running in the terminal you need to set up forwarding. Example: > tmap <expr> <Esc>]b SendToTerm("\<Esc>]b") func SendToTerm(what) call term_sendkeys('', a:what) return '' endfunc Unix ~ terminal-unix On Unix a pty is used to make it possible to run all kinds of commands. You can even run Vim in the terminal! That's used for debugging, see below. Environment variables are used to pass information to the running job: TERM the name of the terminal, from the 'term' option or $TERM in the GUI; falls back to "xterm" if it does not start with "xterm" ROWS number of rows in the terminal initially LINES same as ROWS COLUMNS number of columns in the terminal initially COLORS number of colors, 't_Co' (256256256 in the GUI) VIM_SERVERNAME v:servername VIM_TERMINAL v:version MS-Windows ~ terminal-ms-windows On MS-Windows winpty is used to make it possible to run all kind of commands. Obviously, they must be commands that run in a terminal, not open their own window. You need the following two files from winpty: winpty.dll winpty-agent.exe You can download them from the following page: https://github.com/rprichard/winpty Just put the files somewhere in your PATH. You can set the 'winptydll' option to point to the right file, if needed. If you have both the 32-bit and 64-bit version, rename to winpty32.dll and winpty64.dll to match the way Vim was build. ConPTY E982 On more recent versions of MS-Windows 10 (beginning with the "October 2018 Update"), winpty is no longer required. On those versions, \|:terminal\| will use Windows' built-in support for hosting terminal applications, "ConPTY". When ConPTY is in use, there may be rendering artifacts regarding ambiguous-width characters. If you encounter any such issues, install "winpty". Until the ConPTY problems have been fixed "winpty" will be preferred. Environment variables are used to pass information to the running job: VIM_SERVERNAME v:servername ============================================================================== 2. Terminal functions terminal-function-details term_dumpdiff() term_dumpdiff({filename}, {filename} [, {options}]) Open a new window displaying the difference between the two files. The files must have been created with \|term_dumpwrite()\|. Returns the buffer number or zero when the diff fails. Also see \|terminal-diff\|. NOTE: this does not work with double-width characters yet. The top part of the buffer contains the contents of the first file, the bottom part of the buffer contains the contents of the second file. The middle part shows the differences. The parts are separated by a line of equals. If the {options} argument is present, it must be a Dict with these possible members: "term_name" name to use for the buffer name, instead of the first file name. "term_rows" vertical size to use for the terminal, instead of using 'termwinsize', but respecting the minimal size "term_cols" horizontal size to use for the terminal, instead of using 'termwinsize', but respecting the minimal size "vertical" split the window vertically "curwin" use the current window, do not split the window; fails if the current buffer cannot be \|abandon\|ed "bufnr" do not create a new buffer, use the existing buffer "bufnr". This buffer must have been previously created with term_dumpdiff() or term_dumpload() and visible in a window. "norestore" do not add the terminal window to a session file Each character in the middle part indicates a difference. If there are multiple differences only the first in this list is used: X different character w different width f different foreground color b different background color a different attribute + missing position in first file - missing position in second file > cursor position in first file, not in second < cursor position in second file, not in first Using the "s" key the top and bottom parts are swapped. This makes it easy to spot a difference. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->term_dumpdiff(otherfile) < term_dumpload() term_dumpload({filename} [, {options}]) Open a new window displaying the contents of {filename} The file must have been created with \|term_dumpwrite()\|. Returns the buffer number or zero when it fails. Also see \|terminal-diff\|. For {options} see \|term_dumpdiff()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetFilename()->term_dumpload() < term_dumpwrite() term_dumpwrite({buf}, {filename} [, {options}]) Dump the contents of the terminal screen of {buf} in the file {filename}. This uses a format that can be used with \|term_dumpload()\| and \|term_dumpdiff()\|. If the job in the terminal already finished an error is given: E958 If {filename} already exists an error is given: E953 Also see \|terminal-diff\|. {options} is a dictionary with these optional entries: "rows" maximum number of rows to dump "columns" maximum number of columns to dump Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is used for the file name: > GetFilename()->term_dumpwrite(bufnr) term_getaltscreen({buf}) term_getaltscreen() Returns 1 if the terminal of {buf} is using the alternate screen. {buf} is used as with \|term_getsize()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_getaltscreen() term_getansicolors({buf}) term_getansicolors() Get the ANSI color palette in use by terminal {buf}. Returns a List of length 16 where each element is a String representing a color in hexadecimal "#rrggbb" format. Also see \|term_setansicolors()\| and \|g:terminal_ansi_colors\|. If neither was used returns the default colors. {buf} is used as with \|term_getsize()\|. If the buffer does not exist or is not a terminal window, an empty list is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_getansicolors() < {only available when compiled with GUI enabled and/or the \|+termguicolors\| feature} term_getattr({attr}, {what}) term_getattr() Given {attr}, a value returned by term_scrape() in the "attr" item, return whether {what} is on. {what} can be one of: bold italic underline strike reverse Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetAttr()->term_getattr() term_getcursor({buf}) term_getcursor() Get the cursor position of terminal {buf}. Returns a list with two numbers and a dictionary: [row, col, dict]. "row" and "col" are one based, the first screen cell is row 1, column 1. This is the cursor position of the terminal itself, not of the Vim window. "dict" can have these members: "visible" one when the cursor is visible, zero when it is hidden. "blink" one when the cursor is blinking, zero when it is not blinking. "shape" 1 for a block cursor, 2 for underline and 3 for a vertical bar. "color" color of the cursor, e.g. "green" {buf} must be the buffer number of a terminal window. If the buffer does not exist or is not a terminal window, an empty list is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_getcursor() term_getjob({buf}) term_getjob() Get the Job associated with terminal window {buf}. {buf} is used as with \|term_getsize()\|. Returns \|v:null\| when there is no job. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_getjob() term_getline({buf}, {row}) term_getline() Get a line of text from the terminal window of {buf}. {buf} is used as with \|term_getsize()\|. The first line has {row} one. When {row} is "." the cursor line is used. When {row} is invalid an empty string is returned. To get attributes of each character use \|term_scrape()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_getline(row) term_getscrolled({buf}) term_getscrolled() Return the number of lines that scrolled to above the top of terminal {buf}. This is the offset between the row number used for \|term_getline()\| and \|getline()\|, so that: > term_getline(buf, N) < is equal to: > getline(N + term_getscrolled(buf)) < (if that line exists). {buf} is used as with \|term_getsize()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_getscrolled() term_getsize({buf}) term_getsize() Get the size of terminal {buf}. Returns a list with two numbers: [rows, cols]. This is the size of the terminal, not the window containing the terminal. {buf} must be the buffer number of a terminal window. Use an empty string for the current buffer. If the buffer does not exist or is not a terminal window, an empty list is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_getsize() term_getstatus({buf}) term_getstatus() Get the status of terminal {buf}. This returns a String with a comma separated list of these items: running job is running finished job has finished normal in Terminal-Normal mode One of "running" or "finished" is always present. {buf} must be the buffer number of a terminal window. If the buffer does not exist or is not a terminal window, an empty string is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_getstatus() term_gettitle({buf}) term_gettitle() Get the title of terminal {buf}. This is the title that the job in the terminal has set. {buf} must be the buffer number of a terminal window. If the buffer does not exist or is not a terminal window, an empty string is returned. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_gettitle() term_gettty({buf} [, {input}]) term_gettty() Get the name of the controlling terminal associated with terminal window {buf}. {buf} is used as with \|term_getsize()\|. When {input} is omitted or 0, return the name for writing (stdout). When {input} is 1 return the name for reading (stdin). On UNIX, both return same name. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_gettty() term_list() term_list() Return a list with the buffer numbers of all buffers for terminal windows. term_scrape({buf}, {row}) term_scrape() Get the contents of {row} of terminal screen of {buf}. For {buf} see \|term_getsize()\|. The first line has {row} one. When {row} is "." the cursor line is used. When {row} is invalid an empty string is returned. Return a List containing a Dict for each screen cell: "chars" character(s) at the cell "fg" foreground color as #rrggbb "bg" background color as #rrggbb "attr" attributes of the cell, use \|term_getattr()\| to get the individual flags "width" cell width: 1 or 2 For a double-width cell there is one item, thus the list can be shorter than the width of the terminal. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_scrape(row) term_sendkeys({buf}, {keys}) term_sendkeys() Send keystrokes {keys} to terminal {buf}. {buf} is used as with \|term_getsize()\|. {keys} are translated as key sequences. For example, "\<c-x>" means the character CTRL-X. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_sendkeys(keys) term_setapi({buf}, {expr}) term_setapi() Set the function name prefix to be used for the \|terminal-api\| function in terminal {buf}. For example: > :call term_setapi(buf, "Myapi_") :call term_setapi(buf, "") < The default is "Tapi_". When {expr} is an empty string then no \|terminal-api\| function can be used for {buf}. When used as a method the base is used for {buf}: > GetBufnr()->term_setapi({expr}) term_setansicolors({buf}, {colors}) term_setansicolors() Set the ANSI color palette used by terminal {buf}. {colors} must be a List of 16 valid color names or hexadecimal color codes, like those accepted by \|highlight-guifg\|. Also see \|term_getansicolors()\| and \|g:terminal_ansi_colors\|. The colors normally are: 0 black 1 dark red 2 dark green 3 brown 4 dark blue 5 dark magenta 6 dark cyan 7 light grey 8 dark grey 9 red 10 green 11 yellow 12 blue 13 magenta 14 cyan 15 white These colors are used in the GUI and in the terminal when 'termguicolors' is set. When not using GUI colors (GUI mode or 'termguicolors'), the terminal window always uses the 16 ANSI colors of the underlying terminal. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_setansicolors(colors) < {only available with GUI enabled and/or the \|+termguicolors\| feature} term_setkill({buf}, {how}) term_setkill() When exiting Vim or trying to close the terminal window in another way, {how} defines whether the job in the terminal can be stopped. When {how} is empty (the default), the job will not be stopped, trying to exit will result in \|E947\|. Otherwise, {how} specifies what signal to send to the job. See \|job_stop()\| for the values. After sending the signal Vim will wait for up to a second to check that the job actually stopped. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_setkill(how) term_setrestore({buf}, {command}) term_setrestore() Set the command to write in a session file to restore the job in this terminal. The line written in the session file is: > terminal ++curwin ++cols=%d ++rows=%d {command} < Make sure to escape the command properly. Use an empty {command} to run 'shell'. Use "NONE" to not restore this window. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_setrestore(command) term_setsize({buf}, {rows}, {cols}) term_setsize() E955 Set the size of terminal {buf}. The size of the window containing the terminal will also be adjusted, if possible. If {rows} or {cols} is zero or negative, that dimension is not changed. {buf} must be the buffer number of a terminal window. Use an empty string for the current buffer. If the buffer does not exist or is not a terminal window, an error is given. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_setsize(rows, cols) term_start({cmd} [, {options}]) term_start() Open a terminal window and run {cmd} in it. {cmd} can be a string or a List, like with \|job_start()\|. The string "NONE" can be used to open a terminal window without starting a job, the pty of the terminal can be used by a command like gdb. Returns the buffer number of the terminal window. If {cmd} cannot be executed the window does open and shows an error message. If opening the window fails zero is returned. {options} are similar to what is used for \|job_start()\|, see \|job-options\|. However, not all options can be used. These are supported: all timeout options "stoponexit", "cwd", "env" "callback", "out_cb", "err_cb", "exit_cb", "close_cb" "in_io", "in_top", "in_bot", "in_name", "in_buf" "out_io", "out_name", "out_buf", "out_modifiable", "out_msg" "err_io", "err_name", "err_buf", "err_modifiable", "err_msg" However, at least one of stdin, stdout or stderr must be connected to the terminal. When I/O is connected to the terminal then the callback function for that part is not used. There are extra options: "term_name" name to use for the buffer name, instead of the command name. "term_rows" vertical size to use for the terminal, instead of using 'termwinsize' "term_cols" horizontal size to use for the terminal, instead of using 'termwinsize' "vertical" split the window vertically; note that other window position can be defined with command modifiers, such as \|:belowright\|. "curwin" use the current window, do not split the window; fails if the current buffer cannot be \|abandon\|ed "hidden" do not open a window "norestore" do not add the terminal window to a session file "term_kill" what to do when trying to close the terminal window, see \|term_setkill()\| "term_finish" What to do when the job is finished: "close": close any windows "open": open window if needed Note that "open" can be interruptive. See \|term++close\| and \|term++open\|. "term_opencmd" command to use for opening the window when "open" is used for "term_finish"; must have "%d" where the buffer number goes, e.g. "10split\|buffer %d"; when not specified "botright sbuf %d" is used "term_highlight" highlight group to use instead of "Terminal" "eof_chars" Text to send after all buffer lines were written to the terminal. When not set CTRL-D is used on MS-Windows. For Python use CTRL-Z or "exit()". For a shell use "exit". A CR is always added. "ansi_colors" A list of 16 color names or hex codes defining the ANSI palette used in GUI color modes. See \|g:terminal_ansi_colors\|. "tty_type" (MS-Windows only): Specify which pty to use. See 'termwintype' for the values. "term_api" function name prefix for the \|terminal-api\| function. See \|term_setapi()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCommand()->term_start() term_wait({buf} [, {time}]) term_wait() Wait for pending updates of {buf} to be handled. {buf} is used as with \|term_getsize()\|. {time} is how long to wait for updates to arrive in msec. If not set then 10 msec will be used. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetBufnr()->term_wait() ============================================================================== 3. Terminal communication terminal-communication There are several ways to communicate with the job running in a terminal: - Use \|term_sendkeys()\| to send text and escape sequences from Vim to the job. - Use the JSON API to send encoded commands from the job to Vim. - Use the \|client-server\| mechanism. This works on machines with an X server and on MS-Windows. Vim to job: term_sendkeys() ~ terminal-to-job This allows for remote controlling the job running in the terminal. It is a one-way mechanism. The job can update the display to signal back to Vim. For example, if a shell is running in a terminal, you can do: > call term_sendkeys(buf, "ls .java\<CR>") This requires for the job to be in the right state where it will do the right thing when receiving the keys. For the above example, the shell must be waiting for a command to be typed. For a job that was written for the purpose, you can use the JSON API escape sequence in the other direction. E.g.: > call term_sendkeys(buf, "\<Esc>]51;["response"]\x07") Job to Vim: JSON API ~ terminal-api* The job can send JSON to Vim, using a special escape sequence. The JSON encodes a command that Vim understands. Example of such a message: > <Esc>]51;["drop", "README.md"]<07> The body is always a list, making it easy to find the end: ]<07>. The <Esc>]51;msg<07> sequence is reserved by xterm for "Emacs shell", which is similar to what we are doing here. Currently supported commands: call {funcname} {argument} Call a user defined function with {argument}. The function is called with two arguments: the buffer number of the terminal and {argument}, the decoded JSON argument. By default, the function name must start with "Tapi_" to avoid accidentally calling a function not meant to be used for the terminal API. This can be changed with \|term_setapi()\|. The user function should sanity check the argument. The function can use \|term_sendkeys()\| to send back a reply. Example in JSON: > ["call", "Tapi_Impression", ["play", 14]] < Calls a function defined like this: > function Tapi_Impression(bufnum, arglist) if len(a:arglist) == 2 echomsg "impression " . a:arglist[0] echomsg "count " . a:arglist[1] endif endfunc < Output from `:echo` may be erased by a redraw, use `:echomsg` to be able to see it with `:messages`. drop {filename} [options] Let Vim open a file, like the `:drop` command. If {filename} is already open in a window, switch to that window. Otherwise open a new window to edit {filename}. Note that both the job and Vim may change the current directory, thus it's best to use the full path. [options] is only used when opening a new window. If present, it must be a Dict. Similarly to \|++opt\|, these entries are recognized: "ff" file format: "dos", "mac" or "unix" "fileformat" idem "enc" overrides 'fileencoding' "encoding" idem "bin" sets 'binary' "binary" idem "nobin" resets 'binary' "nobinary" idem "bad" specifies behavior for bad characters, see \|++bad\| Example in JSON: > ["drop", "path/file.txt", {"ff": "dos"}] A trick to have Vim send this escape sequence: > exe "set t_ts=\<Esc>]51; t_fs=\x07" let &titlestring = '["call","Tapi_TryThis",["hello",123]]' redraw set t_ts& t_fs& Rationale: Why not allow for any command or expression? Because that might create a security problem. Using the client-server feature ~ terminal-client-server This only works when v:servername is not empty. If needed you can set it, before opening the terminal, with: > call remote_startserver('vim-server') $VIM_SERVERNAME is set in the terminal to pass on the server name. In the job you can then do something like: > vim --servername $VIM_SERVERNAME --remote +123 some_file.c This will open the file "some_file.c" and put the cursor on line 123. ============================================================================== 4. Remote testing terminal-testing Most Vim tests execute a script inside Vim. For some tests this does not work, running the test interferes with the code being tested. To avoid this Vim is executed in a terminal window. The test sends keystrokes to it and inspects the resulting screen state. Functions ~ \|term_sendkeys()\| send keystrokes to a terminal (not subject to tmap) \|term_wait()\| wait for screen to be updated \|term_scrape()\| inspect terminal screen ============================================================================== 5. Diffing screen dumps terminal-diff In some cases it can be bothersome to test that Vim displays the right characters on the screen. E.g. with syntax highlighting. To make this simpler it is possible to take a screen dump of a terminal and compare it to an expected screen dump. Vim uses the window size, text, color and other attributes as displayed. The Vim screen size, font and other properties do not matter. Therefore this mechanism is portable across systems. A conventional screenshot would reflect all differences, including font size and family. Writing a screen dump test for Vim ~ terminal-dumptest For an example see the Test_syntax_c() function in src/testdir/test_syntax.vim. The main parts are: - Write a file you want to test with. This is useful for testing syntax highlighting. You can also start Vim with an empty buffer. - Run Vim in a terminal with a specific size. The default is 20 lines of 75 characters. This makes sure the dump is always this size. The function RunVimInTerminal() takes care of this. Pass it the arguments for the Vim command. - Send any commands to Vim using \|term_sendkeys()\|. For example: > call term_sendkeys(buf, ":echo &lines &columns\<CR>") - Check that the screen is now in the expected state, using VerifyScreenDump(). This expects the reference screen dump to be in the src/testdir/dumps/ directory. Pass the name without ".dump". It is recommended to use the name of the test function and a sequence number, so that we know what test is using the file. - Repeat sending commands and checking the state. - Finally stop Vim by calling StopVimInTerminal(). The first time you do this you won't have a screen dump yet. Create an empty file for now, e.g.: > touch src/testdir/dumps/Test_function_name_01.dump The test will then fail, giving you the command to compare the reference dump and the failed dump, e.g.: > call term_dumpdiff("failed/Test_func.dump", "dumps/Test_func.dump") Use this command in Vim, with the current directory set to src/testdir. Once you are satisfied with the test, move the failed dump in place of the reference: > :!mv failed/Test_func.dump dumps/Test_func.dump Creating a screen dump ~ terminal-screendump To create the screen dump, run Vim (or any other program) in a terminal and make it show the desired state. Then use the \|term_dumpwrite()\| function to create a screen dump file. For example: > :call term_dumpwrite(77, "mysyntax.dump") Here "77" is the buffer number of the terminal. Use `:ls!` to see it. You can view the screen dump with \|term_dumpload()\|: > :call term_dumpload("mysyntax.dump") To verify that Vim still shows exactly the same screen, run Vim again with exactly the same way to show the desired state. Then create a screen dump again, using a different file name: > :call term_dumpwrite(88, "test.dump") To assert that the files are exactly the same use \|assert_equalfile()\|: > call assert_equalfile("mysyntax.dump", "test.dump") If there are differences then v:errors will contain the error message. Comparing screen dumps ~ terminal-diffscreendump \|assert_equalfile()\| does not make it easy to see what is different. To spot the problem use \|term_dumpdiff()\|: > call term_dumpdiff("mysyntax.dump", "test.dump") This will open a window consisting of three parts: 1. The contents of the first dump 2. The difference between the first and second dump 3. The contents of the second dump You can usually see what differs in the second part. Use the 'ruler' to relate it to the position in the first or second dump. Letters indicate the kind of difference: X different character > cursor in first but not in second < cursor in second but not in first w character width differs (single vs double width) f foreground color differs b background color differs a attribute differs (bold, underline, reverse, etc.) ? character missing in both + character missing in first - character missing in second Alternatively, press "s" to swap the first and second dump. Do this several times so that you can spot the difference in the context of the text. ============================================================================== 6. Debugging terminal-debug terminal-debugger The Terminal debugging plugin can be used to debug a program with gdb and view the source code in a Vim window. Since this is completely contained inside Vim this also works remotely over an ssh connection. When the \|+terminal\| feature is missing, the plugin will use the "prompt" buffer type, if possible. The running program will then use a newly opened terminal window. See \|termdebug-prompt\| below for details. Starting ~ termdebug-starting Load the plugin with this command: > packadd termdebug < :Termdebug To start debugging use `:Termdebug` or `:TermdebugCommand` followed by the command name, for example: > :Termdebug vim This opens two windows: gdb window A terminal window in which "gdb vim" is executed. Here you can directly interact with gdb. The buffer name is "!gdb". program window A terminal window for the executed program. When "run" is used in gdb the program I/O will happen in this window, so that it does not interfere with controlling gdb. The buffer name is "gdb program". The current window is used to show the source code. When gdb pauses the source file location will be displayed, if possible. A sign is used to highlight the current position, using highlight group debugPC. If the buffer in the current window is modified, another window will be opened to display the current gdb position. You can use `:Winbar` to add a window toolbar there. Focus the terminal of the executed program to interact with it. This works the same as any command running in a terminal window. When the debugger ends, typically by typing "quit" in the gdb window, the two opened windows are closed. Only one debugger can be active at a time. :TermdebugCommand If you want to give specific commands to the command being debugged, you can use the `:TermdebugCommand` command followed by the command name and additional parameters. > :TermdebugCommand vim --clean -c ':set nu' Both the `:Termdebug` and `:TermdebugCommand` support an optional "!" bang argument to start the command right away, without pausing at the gdb window (and cursor will be in the debugged window). For example: > :TermdebugCommand! vim --clean To attach gdb to an already running executable or use a core file, pass extra arguments. E.g.: > :Termdebug vim core :Termdebug vim 98343 If no argument is given, you'll end up in a gdb window, in which you need to specify which command to run using e.g. the gdb `file` command. Example session ~ termdebug-example Start in the Vim "src" directory and build Vim: > % make Make sure that debug symbols are present, usually that means that $CFLAGS includes "-g". Start Vim: > % ./vim Load the termdebug plugin and start debugging Vim: > :packadd termdebug :Termdebug vim You should now have three windows: source - where you started, has a window toolbar with buttons gdb - you can type gdb commands here program - the executed program will use this window You can use CTRL-W CTRL-W or the mouse to move focus between windows. Put focus on the gdb window and type: > break ex_help run Vim will start running in the program window. Put focus there and type: > :help gui Gdb will run into the ex_help breakpoint. The source window now shows the ex_cmds.c file. A red "1 " marker will appear in the signcolumn where the breakpoint was set. The line where the debugger stopped is highlighted. You can now step through the program. Let's use the mouse: click on the "Next" button in the window toolbar. You will see the highlighting move as the debugger executes a line of source code. Click "Next" a few times until the for loop is highlighted. Put the cursor on the end of "eap->arg", then click "Eval" in the toolbar. You will see this displayed: "eap->arg": 0x555555e68855 "gui" ~ This way you can inspect the value of local variables. You can also focus the gdb window and use a "print" command, e.g.: > print eap If mouse pointer movements are working, Vim will also show a balloon when the mouse rests on text that can be evaluated by gdb. Now go back to the source window and put the cursor on the first line after the for loop, then type: > :Break You will see a ">>" marker appear, this indicates the new breakpoint. Now click "Cont" in the toolbar and the code until the breakpoint will be executed. You can type more advanced commands in the gdb window. For example, type: > watch curbuf Now click "Cont" in the toolbar (or type "cont" in the gdb window). Execution will now continue until the value of "curbuf" changes, which is in do_ecmd(). To remove this watchpoint again type in the gdb window: > delete 3 You can see the stack by typing in the gdb window: > where Move through the stack frames, e.g. with: > frame 3 The source window will show the code, at the point where the call was made to a deeper level. Stepping through code ~ termdebug-stepping* Put focus on the gdb window to type commands there. Some common ones are: - CTRL-C interrupt the program - next execute the current line and stop at the next line - step execute the current line and stop at the next statement, entering functions - finish execute until leaving the current function - where show the stack - frame N go to the Nth stack frame - continue continue execution :Run :Arguments In the window showing the source code these commands can be used to control gdb: `:Run` [args] run the program with [args] or the previous arguments `:Arguments` {args} set arguments for the next `:Run` :Break set a breakpoint at the cursor position :Break {position} set a breakpoint at the specified position :Clear delete the breakpoint at the cursor position :Step execute the gdb "step" command :Over execute the gdb "next" command (`:Next` is a Vim command) :Finish execute the gdb "finish" command :Continue execute the gdb "continue" command :Stop interrupt the program If 'mouse' is set the plugin adds a window toolbar with these entries: Step `:Step` Next `:Over` Finish `:Finish` Cont `:Continue` Stop `:Stop` Eval `:Evaluate` This way you can use the mouse to perform the most common commands. You need to have the 'mouse' option set to enable mouse clicks. :Winbar You can add the window toolbar in other windows you open with: > :Winbar If gdb stops at a source line and there is no window currently showing the source code, a new window will be created for the source code. This also happens if the buffer in the source code window has been modified and can't be abandoned. Gdb gives each breakpoint a number. In Vim the number shows up in the sign column, with a red background. You can use these gdb commands: - info break list breakpoints - delete N delete breakpoint N You can also use the `:Clear` command if the cursor is in the line with the breakpoint, or use the "Clear breakpoint" right-click menu entry. Inspecting variables ~ termdebug-variables :Evaluate `:Evaluate` evaluate the expression under the cursor `K` same (see \|termdebug_map_K\| to disable) `:Evaluate` {expr} evaluate {expr} `:'<,'>Evaluate` evaluate the Visually selected text This is similar to using "print" in the gdb window. You can usually shorten `:Evaluate` to `:Ev`. Other commands ~ termdebug-commands :Gdb jump to the gdb window :Program jump to the window with the running program :Source jump to the window with the source code, create it if there isn't one :Asm jump to the window with the disassembly, create it if there isn't one Prompt mode ~ termdebug-prompt When the \|+terminal\| feature is not supported and on MS-Windows, gdb will run in a buffer with 'buftype' set to "prompt". This works slightly differently: - The gdb window will be in Insert mode while typing commands. Go to Normal mode with <Esc>, then you can move around in the buffer, copy/paste, etc. Go back to editing the gdb command with any command that starts Insert mode, such as `a` or `i`. - The program being debugged will run in a separate window. On MS-Windows this is a new console window. On Unix, if the \|+terminal\| feature is available a Terminal window will be opened to run the debugged program in. termdebug_use_prompt Prompt mode can be used even when the \|+terminal\| feature is present with: > let g:termdebug_use_prompt = 1 < termdebug_map_K The K key is normally mapped to :Evaluate. If you do not want this use: > let g:termdebug_map_K = 0 < termdebug_disasm_window If you want the Asm window shown by default, set this to 1. Setting to any value greater than 1 will set the Asm window height to that value: > let g:termdebug_disasm_window = 15 < Communication ~ termdebug-communication There is another, hidden, buffer, which is used for Vim to communicate with gdb. The buffer name is "gdb communication". Do not delete this buffer, it will break the debugger. Gdb has some weird behavior, the plugin does its best to work around that. For example, after typing "continue" in the gdb window a CTRL-C can be used to interrupt the running program. But after using the MI command "-exec-continue" pressing CTRL-C does not interrupt. Therefore you will see "continue" being used for the `:Continue` command, instead of using the communication channel. Customizing ~ GDB command termdebug-customizing To change the name of the gdb command, set the "termdebugger" variable before invoking `:Termdebug`: > let termdebugger = "mygdb" < gdb-version Only debuggers fully compatible with gdb will work. Vim uses the GDB/MI interface. The "new-ui" command requires gdb version 7.12 or later. if you get this error: Undefined command: "new-ui". Try "help".~ Then your gdb is too old. Colors hl-debugPC hl-debugBreakpoint The color of the signs can be adjusted with these highlight groups: - debugPC the current position - debugBreakpoint a breakpoint The defaults are, when 'background' is "light": hi debugPC term=reverse ctermbg=lightblue guibg=lightblue hi debugBreakpoint term=reverse ctermbg=red guibg=red When 'background' is "dark": hi debugPC term=reverse ctermbg=darkblue guibg=darkblue hi debugBreakpoint term=reverse ctermbg=red guibg=red Shortcuts termdebug_shortcuts You can define your own shortcuts (mappings) to control gdb, that can work in any window, using the TermDebugSendCommand() function. Example: > map ,w :call TermDebugSendCommand('where')<CR> The argument is the gdb command. Popup menu termdebug_popup By default the Termdebug plugin sets 'mousemodel' to "popup_setpos" and adds these entries to the popup menu: Set breakpoint `:Break` Clear breakpoint `:Clear` Evaluate `:Evaluate` If you don't want this then disable it with: > let g:termdebug_popup = 0 Vim window width termdebug_wide To change the width of the Vim window when debugging starts and use a vertical split: > let g:termdebug_wide = 163 This will set 'columns' to 163 when `:Termdebug` is used. The value is restored when quitting the debugger. If g:termdebug_wide is set and 'columns' is already a greater value, then a vertical split will be used without modifying 'columns'. Set g:termdebug_wide to 1 to use a vertical split without ever changing 'columns'. This is useful when the terminal can't be resized by Vim. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	54.79 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 testing.txt testing.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Mar 10 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Testing Vim and Vim script testing-support Expression evaluation is explained in \|eval.txt\|. This file goes into details about writing tests in Vim script. This can be used for testing Vim itself and for testing plugins. 1. Testing Vim \|testing\| 2. Test functions \|test-functions-details\| 3. Assert functions \|assert-functions-details\| ============================================================================== 1. Testing Vim testing Vim can be tested after building it, usually with "make test". The tests are located in the directory "src/testdir". There are two types of tests added over time: test20.in oldest, only for tiny and small builds test_something.vim new style tests new-style-testing New tests should be added as new style tests. The test scripts are named test_<feature>.vim (replace <feature> with the feature under test). These use functions such as \|assert_equal()\| to keep the test commands and the expected result in one place. old-style-testing These tests are used only for testing Vim without the \|+eval\| feature. Find more information in the file src/testdir/README.txt. ============================================================================== 2. Test functions test-functions-details test_alloc_fail({id}, {countdown}, {repeat}) test_alloc_fail() This is for testing: If the memory allocation with {id} is called, then decrement {countdown}, and when it reaches zero let memory allocation fail {repeat} times. When {repeat} is smaller than one it fails one time. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetAllocId()->test_alloc_fail() test_autochdir() test_autochdir() Set a flag to enable the effect of 'autochdir' before Vim startup has finished. test_feedinput({string}) test_feedinput() Characters in {string} are queued for processing as if they were typed by the user. This uses a low level input buffer. This function works only when with \|+unix\| or GUI is running. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetText()->test_feedinput() test_garbagecollect_now() test_garbagecollect_now() Like garbagecollect(), but executed right away. This must only be called directly to avoid any structure to exist internally, and \|v:testing\| must have been set before calling any function. test_garbagecollect_soon() test_garbagecollect_soon() Set the flag to call the garbagecollector as if in the main loop. Only to be used in tests. test_getvalue({name}) test_getvalue() Get the value of an internal variable. These values for {name} are supported: need_fileinfo Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetName()->test_getvalue() test_ignore_error({expr}) test_ignore_error() Ignore any error containing {expr}. A normal message is given instead. This is only meant to be used in tests, where catching the error with try/catch cannot be used (because it skips over following code). {expr} is used literally, not as a pattern. When the {expr} is the string "RESET" then the list of ignored errors is made empty. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetErrorText()->test_ignore_error() test_null_blob() test_null_blob() Return a \|Blob\| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_channel() test_null_channel() Return a \|Channel\| that is null. Only useful for testing. {only available when compiled with the +channel feature} test_null_dict() test_null_dict() Return a \|Dict\| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_function() test_null_function() Return a \|Funcref\| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_job() test_null_job() Return a \|Job\| that is null. Only useful for testing. {only available when compiled with the +job feature} test_null_list() test_null_list() Return a \|List\| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_partial() test_null_partial() Return a \|Partial\| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_null_string() test_null_string() Return a \|String\| that is null. Only useful for testing. test_unknown() test_unknown() Return a value with unknown type. Only useful for testing. test_void() test_void() Return a value with void type. Only useful for testing. test_option_not_set({name}) test_option_not_set() Reset the flag that indicates option {name} was set. Thus it looks like it still has the default value. Use like this: > set ambiwidth=double call test_option_not_set('ambiwidth') < Now the 'ambiwidth' option behaves like it was never changed, even though the value is "double". Only to be used for testing! Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetOptionName()->test_option_not_set() test_override({name}, {val}) test_override() Overrides certain parts of Vim's internal processing to be able to run tests. Only to be used for testing Vim! The override is enabled when {val} is non-zero and removed when {val} is zero. Current supported values for name are: name effect when {val} is non-zero ~ redraw disable the redrawing() function redraw_flag ignore the RedrawingDisabled flag char_avail disable the char_avail() function starting reset the "starting" variable, see below nfa_fail makes the NFA regexp engine fail to force a fallback to the old engine no_query_mouse do not query the mouse position for "dec" terminals no_wait_return set the "no_wait_return" flag. Not restored with "ALL". ui_delay time in msec to use in ui_delay(); overrules a wait time of up to 3 seconds for messages term_props reset all terminal properties when the version string is detected uptime overrules sysinfo.uptime ALL clear all overrides ({val} is not used) "starting" is to be used when a test should behave like startup was done. Since the tests are run by sourcing a script the "starting" variable is non-zero. This is usually a good thing (tests run faster), but sometimes changes behavior in a way that the test doesn't work properly. When using: > call test_override('starting', 1) < The value of "starting" is saved. It is restored by: > call test_override('starting', 0) < Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetOverrideVal()-> test_override('starting') test_refcount({expr}) test_refcount() Return the reference count of {expr}. When {expr} is of a type that does not have a reference count, returns -1. Only to be used for testing. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetVarname()->test_refcount() test_scrollbar({which}, {value}, {dragging}) test_scrollbar() Pretend using scrollbar {which} to move it to position {value}. {which} can be: left Left scrollbar of the current window right Right scrollbar of the current window hor Horizontal scrollbar For the vertical scrollbars {value} can be 1 to the line-count of the buffer. For the horizontal scrollbar the {value} can be between 1 and the maximum line length, assuming 'wrap' is not set. When {dragging} is non-zero it's like dragging the scrollbar, otherwise it's like clicking in the scrollbar. Only works when the {which} scrollbar actually exists, obviously only when using the GUI. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetValue()->test_scrollbar('right', 0) test_setmouse({row}, {col}) test_setmouse() Set the mouse position to be used for the next mouse action. {row} and {col} are one based. For example: > call test_setmouse(4, 20) call feedkeys("\<LeftMouse>", "xt") test_settime({expr}) test_settime() Set the time Vim uses internally. Currently only used for timestamps in the history, as they are used in viminfo, and for undo. Using a value of 1 makes Vim not sleep after a warning or error message. {expr} must evaluate to a number. When the value is zero the normal behavior is restored. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetTime()->test_settime() test_srand_seed([seed]) test_srand_seed() When [seed] is given this sets the seed value used by `srand()`. When omitted the test seed is removed. ============================================================================== 3. Assert functions assert-functions-details assert_beeps({cmd}) assert_beeps() Run {cmd} and add an error message to \|v:errors\| if it does NOT produce a beep or visual bell. Also see \|assert_fails()\| and \|assert-return\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCmd()->assert_beeps() < assert_equal() assert_equal({expected}, {actual} [, {msg}]) When {expected} and {actual} are not equal an error message is added to \|v:errors\| and 1 is returned. Otherwise zero is returned \|assert-return\|. There is no automatic conversion, the String "4" is different from the Number 4. And the number 4 is different from the Float 4.0. The value of 'ignorecase' is not used here, case always matters. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Expected {expected} but got {actual}" is produced. Example: > assert_equal('foo', 'bar') < Will result in a string to be added to \|v:errors\|: test.vim line 12: Expected 'foo' but got 'bar' ~ Can also be used as a \|method\|, the base is passed as the second argument: > mylist->assert_equal([1, 2, 3]) < assert_equalfile() assert_equalfile({fname-one}, {fname-two} [, {msg}]) When the files {fname-one} and {fname-two} do not contain exactly the same text an error message is added to \|v:errors\|. Also see \|assert-return\|. When {fname-one} or {fname-two} does not exist the error will mention that. Mainly useful with \|terminal-diff\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLog()->assert_equalfile('expected.log') assert_exception({error} [, {msg}]) assert_exception() When v:exception does not contain the string {error} an error message is added to \|v:errors\|. Also see \|assert-return\|. This can be used to assert that a command throws an exception. Using the error number, followed by a colon, avoids problems with translations: > try commandthatfails call assert_false(1, 'command should have failed') catch call assert_exception('E492:') endtry < assert_fails() assert_fails({cmd} [, {error} [, {msg} [, {lnum} [, {context}]]]]) Run {cmd} and add an error message to \|v:errors\| if it does NOT produce an error or when {error} is not found in the error message. Also see \|assert-return\|. When {error} is a string it must be found literally in the first reported error. Most often this will be the error code, including the colon, e.g. "E123:". > assert_fails('bad cmd', 'E987:') < When {error} is a \|List\| with one or two strings, these are used as patterns. The first pattern is matched against the first reported error: > assert_fails('cmd', ['E987:.expected bool']) < The second pattern, if present, is matched against the last reported error. If there is only one error then both patterns must match. This can be used to check that there is only one error. To only match the last error use an empty string for the first error: > assert_fails('cmd', ['', 'E987:']) < If {msg} is empty then it is not used. Do this to get the default message when passing the {lnum} argument. When {lnum} is present and not negative, and the {error} argument is present and matches, then this is compared with the line number at which the error was reported. That can be the line number in a function or in a script. When {context} is present it is used as a pattern and matched against the context (script name or function name) where {lnum} is located in. Note that beeping is not considered an error, and some failing commands only beep. Use \|assert_beeps()\| for those. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetCmd()->assert_fails('E99:') assert_false({actual} [, {msg}]) assert_false()* When {actual} is not false an error message is added to \|v:errors\|, like with \|assert_equal()\|. Also see \|assert-return\|. A value is false when it is zero. When {actual} is not a number the assert fails. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Expected False but got {actual}" is produced. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetResult()->assert_false() assert_inrange({lower}, {upper}, {actual} [, {msg}]) assert_inrange() This asserts number and \|Float\| values. When {actual} is lower than {lower} or higher than {upper} an error message is added to \|v:errors\|. Also see \|assert-return\|. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Expected range {lower} - {upper}, but got {actual}" is produced. assert_match() assert_match({pattern}, {actual} [, {msg}]) When {pattern} does not match {actual} an error message is added to \|v:errors\|. Also see \|assert-return\|. {pattern} is used as with \|=~\|: The matching is always done like 'magic' was set and 'cpoptions' is empty, no matter what the actual value of 'magic' or 'cpoptions' is. {actual} is used as a string, automatic conversion applies. Use "^" and "$" to match with the start and end of the text. Use both to match the whole text. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Pattern {pattern} does not match {actual}" is produced. Example: > assert_match('^f.o$', 'foobar') < Will result in a string to be added to \|v:errors\|: test.vim line 12: Pattern '^f.o$' does not match 'foobar' ~ Can also be used as a \|method\|: > getFile()->assert_match('foo.') < assert_notequal()* assert_notequal({expected}, {actual} [, {msg}]) The opposite of `assert_equal()`: add an error message to \|v:errors\| when {expected} and {actual} are equal. Also see \|assert-return\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > mylist->assert_notequal([1, 2, 3]) < assert_notmatch() assert_notmatch({pattern}, {actual} [, {msg}]) The opposite of `assert_match()`: add an error message to \|v:errors\| when {pattern} matches {actual}. Also see \|assert-return\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > getFile()->assert_notmatch('bar.') assert_report({msg}) assert_report()* Report a test failure directly, using {msg}. Always returns one. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetMessage()->assert_report() assert_true({actual} [, {msg}]) assert_true() When {actual} is not true an error message is added to \|v:errors\|, like with \|assert_equal()\|. Also see \|assert-return\|. A value is TRUE when it is a non-zero number. When {actual} is not a number the assert fails. When {msg} is omitted an error in the form "Expected True but got {actual}" is produced. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetResult()->assert_true() < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	14.6 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 textprop.txt textprop.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Oct 14 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Displaying text with properties attached. textprop text-properties 1. Introduction \|text-prop-intro\| 2. Functions \|text-prop-functions\| 3. When text changes \|text-prop-changes\| {not able to use text properties when the \|+textprop\| feature was disabled at compile time} ============================================================================== 1. Introduction text-prop-intro Text properties can be attached to text in a buffer. They will move with the text: If lines are deleted or inserted the properties move with the text they are attached to. Also when inserting/deleting text in the line before the text property. And when inserting/deleting text inside the text property, it will increase/decrease in size. The main use for text properties is to highlight text. This can be seen as a replacement for syntax highlighting. Instead of defining patterns to match the text, the highlighting is set by a script, possibly using the output of an external parser. This only needs to be done once, not every time when redrawing the screen, thus can be much faster, after the initial cost of attaching the text properties. Text properties can also be used for other purposes to identify text. For example, add a text property on a function name, so that a search can be defined to jump to the next/previous function. A text property is attached at a specific line and column, and has a specified length. The property can span multiple lines. A text property has these fields: "id" a number to be used as desired "type" the name of a property type Property Types ~ E971 A text property normally has the name of a property type, which defines how to highlight the text. The property type can have these entries: "highlight" name of the highlight group to use "combine" when omitted or TRUE the text property highlighting is combined with any syntax highlighting; when FALSE the text property highlighting replaces the syntax highlighting "priority" when properties overlap, the one with the highest priority will be used. "start_incl" when TRUE inserts at the start position will be included in the text property "end_incl" when TRUE inserts at the end position will be included in the text property Example ~ Suppose line 11 in a buffer has this text (excluding the indent): The number 123 is smaller than 4567. To highlight the numbers in this text: > call prop_type_add('number', {'highlight': 'Constant'}) call prop_add(11, 12, {'length': 3, 'type': 'number'}) call prop_add(11, 32, {'length': 4, 'type': 'number'}) Try inserting or deleting lines above the text, you will see that the text properties stick to the text, thus the line number is adjusted as needed. Setting "start_incl" and "end_incl" is useful when white space surrounds the text, e.g. for a function name. Using false is useful when the text starts and/or ends with a specific character, such as the quote surrounding a string. func FuncName(arg) ~ ^^^^^^^^ property with start_incl and end_incl set var = "text"; ~ ^^^^^^ property with start_incl and end_incl not set Nevertheless, when text is inserted or deleted the text may need to be parsed and the text properties updated. But this can be done asynchronously. Internal error E967 If you see E967, please report the bug. You can do this at Github: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/new ============================================================================== 2. Functions text-prop-functions Manipulating text property types: prop_type_add({name}, {props}) define a new property type prop_type_change({name}, {props}) change an existing property type prop_type_delete({name} [, {props}]) delete a property type prop_type_get({name} [, {props}]) get property type values prop_type_list([{props}]) get list of property types Manipulating text properties: prop_add({lnum}, {col}, {props}) add a text property prop_clear({lnum} [, {lnum-end} [, {bufnr}]]) remove all text properties prop_find({props} [, {direction}]) search for a text property prop_list({lnum} [, {props}]) text properties in {lnum} prop_remove({props} [, {lnum} [, {lnum-end}]]) remove a text property prop_add() E965 prop_add({lnum}, {col}, {props}) Attach a text property at position {lnum}, {col}. {col} is counted in bytes, use one for the first column. If {lnum} is invalid an error is given. E966 If {col} is invalid an error is given. E964 {props} is a dictionary with these fields: length length of text in bytes, can only be used for a property that does not continue in another line; can be zero end_lnum line number for the end of text end_col column just after the text; not used when "length" is present; when {col} and "end_col" are equal, and "end_lnum" is omitted or equal to {lnum}, this is a zero-width text property bufnr buffer to add the property to; when omitted the current buffer is used id user defined ID for the property; must be a number; when omitted zero is used type name of the text property type All fields except "type" are optional. It is an error when both "length" and "end_lnum" or "end_col" are given. Either use "length" or "end_col" for a property within one line, or use "end_lnum" and "end_col" for a property that spans more than one line. When neither "length" nor "end_col" are given the property will be zero-width. That means it will move with the text, as a kind of mark. One character will be highlighted, if the type specifies highlighting. The property can end exactly at the last character of the text, or just after it. In the last case, if text is appended to the line, the text property size will increase, also when the property type does not have "end_incl" set. "type" will first be looked up in the buffer the property is added to. When not found, the global property types are used. If not found an error is given. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->prop_add(col, props) prop_clear({lnum} [, {lnum-end} [, {props}]]) prop_clear() Remove all text properties from line {lnum}. When {lnum-end} is given, remove all text properties from line {lnum} to {lnum-end} (inclusive). When {props} contains a "bufnr" item use this buffer, otherwise use the current buffer. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->prop_clear() < prop_find() prop_find({props} [, {direction}]) Search for a text property as specified with {props}: id property with this ID type property with this type name bufnr buffer to search in; when present a start position with "lnum" and "col" must be given; when omitted the current buffer is used lnum start in this line (when omitted start at the cursor) col start at this column (when omitted and "lnum" is given: use column 1, otherwise start at the cursor) skipstart do not look for a match at the start position {direction} can be "f" for forward and "b" for backward. When omitted forward search is performed. If a match is found then a Dict is returned with the entries as with prop_list(), and additionally an "lnum" entry. If no match is found then an empty Dict is returned. prop_list({lnum} [, {props}]) prop_list() Return a List with all text properties in line {lnum}. When {props} contains a "bufnr" item, use this buffer instead of the current buffer. The properties are ordered by starting column and priority. Each property is a Dict with these entries: col starting column length length in bytes, one more if line break is included id property ID type name of the property type, omitted if the type was deleted start when TRUE property starts in this line end when TRUE property ends in this line When "start" is zero the property started in a previous line, the current one is a continuation. When "end" is zero the property continues in the next line. The line break after this line is included. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetLnum()->prop_list() < prop_remove() E968 E860 prop_remove({props} [, {lnum} [, {lnum-end}]]) Remove a matching text property from line {lnum}. When {lnum-end} is given, remove matching text properties from line {lnum} to {lnum-end} (inclusive). When {lnum} is omitted remove matching text properties from all lines. {props} is a dictionary with these fields: id remove text properties with this ID type remove text properties with this type name both "id" and "type" must both match bufnr use this buffer instead of the current one all when TRUE remove all matching text properties, not just the first one A property matches when either "id" or "type" matches. If buffer "bufnr" does not exist you get an error message. If buffer "bufnr" is not loaded then nothing happens. Returns the number of properties that were removed. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetProps()->prop_remove() prop_type_add({name}, {props}) prop_type_add() E969 E970 Add a text property type {name}. If a property type with this name already exists an error is given. Nothing is returned. {props} is a dictionary with these optional fields: bufnr define the property only for this buffer; this avoids name collisions and automatically clears the property types when the buffer is deleted. highlight name of highlight group to use priority when a character has multiple text properties the one with the highest priority will be used; negative values can be used, the default priority is zero combine when TRUE combine the highlight with any syntax highlight; when omitted or FALSE syntax highlight will not be used start_incl when TRUE inserts at the start position will be included in the text property end_incl when TRUE inserts at the end position will be included in the text property Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPropName()->prop_type_add(props) prop_type_change({name}, {props}) prop_type_change() Change properties of an existing text property type. If a property with this name does not exist an error is given. The {props} argument is just like \|prop_type_add()\|. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPropName()->prop_type_change(props) prop_type_delete({name} [, {props}]) prop_type_delete() Remove the text property type {name}. When text properties using the type {name} are still in place, they will not have an effect and can no longer be removed by name. {props} can contain a "bufnr" item. When it is given, delete a property type from this buffer instead of from the global property types. When text property type {name} is not found there is no error. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPropName()->prop_type_delete() prop_type_get({name} [, {props}]) prop_type_get() Returns the properties of property type {name}. This is a dictionary with the same fields as was given to prop_type_add(). When the property type {name} does not exist, an empty dictionary is returned. {props} can contain a "bufnr" item. When it is given, use this buffer instead of the global property types. Can also be used as a \|method\|: > GetPropName()->prop_type_get() prop_type_list([{props}]) prop_type_list() Returns a list with all property type names. {props} can contain a "bufnr" item. When it is given, use this buffer instead of the global property types. ============================================================================== 3. When text changes text-prop-changes Vim will do its best to keep the text properties on the text where it was attached. When inserting or deleting text the properties after the change will move accordingly. When text is deleted and a text property no longer includes any text, it is deleted. However, a text property that was defined as zero-width will remain, unless the whole line is deleted. E275 When a buffer is unloaded, all the text properties are gone. There is no way to store the properties in a file. You can only re-create them. When a buffer is hidden the text is preserved and so are the text properties. It is not possible to add text properties to an unloaded buffer. When using replace mode, the text properties stay on the same character positions, even though the characters themselves change. To update text properties after the text was changed, install a callback with `listener_add()`. E.g, if your plugin does spell checking, you can have the callback update spelling mistakes in the changed text. Vim will move the properties below the changed text, so that they still highlight the same text, thus you don't need to update these. Text property columns are not updated or copied: ~ - When setting the line with \|setline()\| or through an interface, such as Lua, Tcl or Python. Vim does not know what text got inserted or deleted. - With a command like `:move`, which takes a line of text out of context. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	13.09 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 tips.txt tips.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Dec 29 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Tips and ideas for using Vim tips These are just a few that we thought would be helpful for many users. You can find many more tips on the wiki. The URL can be found on http://www.vim.org Don't forget to browse the user manual, it also contains lots of useful tips \|usr_toc.txt\|. Editing C programs \|C-editing\| Finding where identifiers are used \|ident-search\| Switching screens in an xterm \|xterm-screens\| Scrolling in Insert mode \|scroll-insert\| Smooth scrolling \|scroll-smooth\| Correcting common typing mistakes \|type-mistakes\| Counting words, lines, etc. \|count-items\| Restoring the cursor position \|restore-position\| Renaming files \|rename-files\| Change a name in multiple files \|change-name\| Speeding up external commands \|speed-up\| Useful mappings \|useful-mappings\| Compressing the help files \|gzip-helpfile\| Executing shell commands in a window \|shell-window\| Hex editing \|hex-editing\| Using <> notation in autocommands \|autocmd-<>\| Highlighting matching parens \|match-parens\| Opening help in the current window \|help-curwin\| ============================================================================== Editing C programs C-editing There are quite a few features in Vim to help you edit C program files. Here is an overview with tags to jump to: \|usr_29.txt\| Moving through programs chapter in the user manual. \|usr_30.txt\| Editing programs chapter in the user manual. \|C-indenting\| Automatically set the indent of a line while typing text. \|=\| Re-indent a few lines. \|format-comments\| Format comments. \|:checkpath\| Show all recursively included files. \|[i\| Search for identifier under cursor in current and included files. \|[_CTRL-I\| Jump to match for "[i" \|[I\| List all lines in current and included files where identifier under the cursor matches. \|[d\| Search for define under cursor in current and included files. \|CTRL-]\| Jump to tag under cursor (e.g., definition of a function). \|CTRL-T\| Jump back to before a CTRL-] command. \|:tselect\| Select one tag out of a list of matching tags. \|gd\| Go to Declaration of local variable under cursor. \|gD\| Go to Declaration of global variable under cursor. \|gf\| Go to file name under the cursor. \|%\| Go to matching (), {}, [], /* /, #if, #else, #endif. \|[/\| Go to previous start of comment. \|]/\| Go to next end of comment. \|[#\| Go back to unclosed #if, #ifdef, or #else. \|]#\| Go forward to unclosed #else or #endif. \|[(\| Go back to unclosed '(' \|])\| Go forward to unclosed ')' \|[{\| Go back to unclosed '{' \|]}\| Go forward to unclosed '}' \|v_ab\| Select "a block" from "[(" to "])", including braces \|v_ib\| Select "inner block" from "[(" to "])" \|v_aB\| Select "a block" from "[{" to "]}", including brackets \|v_iB\| Select "inner block" from "[{" to "]}" ============================================================================== Finding where identifiers are used ident-search* You probably already know that \|tags\| can be used to jump to the place where a function or variable is defined. But sometimes you wish you could jump to all the places where a function or variable is being used. This is possible in two ways: 1. Using the \|:grep\| command. This should work on most Unix systems, but can be slow (it reads all files) and only searches in one directory. 2. Using ID utils. This is fast and works in multiple directories. It uses a database to store locations. You will need some additional programs for this to work. And you need to keep the database up to date. Using the GNU id-tools: What you need: - The GNU id-tools installed (mkid is needed to create ID and lid is needed to use the macros). - An identifier database file called "ID" in the current directory. You can create it with the shell command "mkid file1 file2 ..". Put this in your .vimrc: > map _u :call ID_search()<Bar>execute "/\\<" . g:word . "\\>"<CR> map _n :n<Bar>execute "/\\<" . g:word . "\\>"<CR> function! ID_search() let g:word = expand("<cword>") let x = system("lid --key=none ". g:word) let x = substitute(x, "\n", " ", "g") execute "next " . x endfun To use it, place the cursor on a word, type "_u" and vim will load the file that contains the word. Search for the next occurrence of the word in the same file with "n". Go to the next file with "_n". This has been tested with id-utils-3.2 (which is the name of the id-tools archive file on your closest gnu-ftp-mirror). [the idea for this comes from Andreas Kutschera] ============================================================================== Switching screens in an xterm xterm-screens xterm-save-screen (From comp.editors, by Juergen Weigert, in reply to a question) :> Another question is that after exiting vim, the screen is left as it :> was, i.e. the contents of the file I was viewing (editing) was left on :> the screen. The output from my previous like "ls" were lost, :> ie. no longer in the scrolling buffer. I know that there is a way to :> restore the screen after exiting vim or other vi like editors, :> I just don't know how. Helps are appreciated. Thanks. : :I imagine someone else can answer this. I assume though that vim and vi do :the same thing as each other for a given xterm setup. They not necessarily do the same thing, as this may be a termcap vs. terminfo problem. You should be aware that there are two databases for describing attributes of a particular type of terminal: termcap and terminfo. This can cause differences when the entries differ AND when of the programs in question one uses terminfo and the other uses termcap (also see \|+terminfo\|). In your particular problem, you are looking for the control sequences ^[[?47h and ^[[?47l. These switch between xterms alternate and main screen buffer. As a quick workaround a command sequence like > echo -n "^[[?47h"; vim ... ; echo -n "^[[?47l" may do what you want. (My notation ^[ means the ESC character, further down you'll see that the databases use \E instead). On startup, vim echoes the value of the termcap variable ti (terminfo: smcup) to the terminal. When exiting, it echoes te (terminfo: rmcup). Thus these two variables are the correct place where the above mentioned control sequences should go. Compare your xterm termcap entry (found in /etc/termcap) with your xterm terminfo entry (retrieved with "infocmp -C xterm"). Both should contain entries similar to: > :te=\E[2J\E[?47l\E8:ti=\E7\E[?47h: PS: If you find any difference, someone (your sysadmin?) should better check the complete termcap and terminfo database for consistency. NOTE 1: If you recompile Vim with FEAT_XTERM_SAVE defined in feature.h, the builtin xterm will include the mentioned "te" and "ti" entries. NOTE 2: If you want to disable the screen switching, and you don't want to change your termcap, you can add these lines to your .vimrc: > :set t_ti= t_te= ============================================================================== Scrolling in Insert mode scroll-insert If you are in insert mode and you want to see something that is just off the screen, you can use CTRL-X CTRL-E and CTRL-X CTRL-Y to scroll the screen. \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-E\| To make this easier, you could use these mappings: > :inoremap <C-E> <C-X><C-E> :inoremap <C-Y> <C-X><C-Y> (Type this literally, make sure the '<' flag is not in 'cpoptions'). You then lose the ability to copy text from the line above/below the cursor \|i_CTRL-E\|. Also consider setting 'scrolloff' to a larger value, so that you can always see some context around the cursor. If 'scrolloff' is bigger than half the window height, the cursor will always be in the middle and the text is scrolled when the cursor is moved up/down. ============================================================================== Smooth scrolling scroll-smooth If you like the scrolling to go a bit smoother, you can use these mappings: > :map <C-U> <C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y><C-Y> :map <C-D> <C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E><C-E> (Type this literally, make sure the '<' flag is not in 'cpoptions'). ============================================================================== Correcting common typing mistakes type-mistakes When there are a few words that you keep on typing in the wrong way, make abbreviations that correct them. For example: > :ab teh the :ab fro for ============================================================================== Counting words, lines, etc. count-items To count how often any pattern occurs in the current buffer use the substitute command and add the 'n' flag to avoid the substitution. The reported number of substitutions is the number of items. Examples: > :%s/./&/gn characters :%s/\i\+/&/gn words :%s/^//n lines :%s/the/&/gn "the" anywhere :%s/\<the\>/&/gn "the" as a word You might want to reset 'hlsearch' or do ":nohlsearch". Add the 'e' flag if you don't want an error when there are no matches. An alternative is using \|v_g_CTRL-G\| in Visual mode. If you want to find matches in multiple files use \|:vimgrep\|. count-bytes If you want to count bytes, you can use this: Visually select the characters (block is also possible) Use "y" to yank the characters Use the strlen() function: > :echo strlen(@") A line break is counted for one byte. ============================================================================== Restoring the cursor position restore-position Sometimes you want to write a mapping that makes a change somewhere in the file and restores the cursor position, without scrolling the text. For example, to change the date mark in a file: > :map <F2> msHmtgg/Last [cC]hange:\s/e+1<CR>"_D"=strftime("%Y %b %d")<CR>p'tzt`s Breaking up saving the position: ms store cursor position in the 's' mark H go to the first line in the window mt store this position in the 't' mark Breaking up restoring the position: 't go to the line previously at the top of the window zt scroll to move this line to the top of the window `s jump to the original position of the cursor For something more advanced see \|winsaveview()\| and \|winrestview()\|. ============================================================================== Renaming files rename-files* Say I have a directory with the following files in them (directory picked at random :-): buffer.c charset.c digraph.c ... and I want to rename .c .bla. I'd do it like this: > $ vim :r !ls .c :%s/$.$.c/mv & \1.bla :w !sh :q! ============================================================================== Change a name in multiple files change-name Example for using a script file to change a name in several files: Create a file "subs.vim" containing substitute commands and a :update command: > :%s/Jones/Smith/g :%s/Allen/Peter/g :update < Execute Vim on all files you want to change, and source the script for each argument: > vim .let argdo source subs.vim See \|:argdo\|. ============================================================================== Speeding up external commands speed-up* In some situations, execution of an external command can be very slow. This can also slow down wildcard expansion on Unix. Here are a few suggestions to increase the speed. If your .cshrc (or other file, depending on the shell used) is very long, you should separate it into a section for interactive use and a section for non-interactive use (often called secondary shells). When you execute a command from Vim like ":!ls", you do not need the interactive things (for example, setting the prompt). Put the stuff that is not needed after these lines: > if ($?prompt == 0) then exit 0 endif Another way is to include the "-f" flag in the 'shell' option, e.g.: > :set shell=csh\ -f (the backslash is needed to include the space in the option). This will make csh completely skip the use of the .cshrc file. This may cause some things to stop working though. ============================================================================== Useful mappings useful-mappings Here are a few mappings that some people like to use. map-backtick > :map ' ` Make the single quote work like a backtick. Puts the cursor on the column of a mark, instead of going to the first non-blank character in the line. emacs-keys For Emacs-style editing on the command-line: > " start of line :cnoremap <C-A> <Home> " back one character :cnoremap <C-B> <Left> " delete character under cursor :cnoremap <C-D> <Del> " end of line :cnoremap <C-E> <End> " forward one character :cnoremap <C-F> <Right> " recall newer command-line :cnoremap <C-N> <Down> " recall previous (older) command-line :cnoremap <C-P> <Up> " back one word :cnoremap <Esc><C-B> <S-Left> " forward one word :cnoremap <Esc><C-F> <S-Right> NOTE: This requires that the '<' flag is excluded from 'cpoptions'. \|<>\| format-bullet-list This mapping will format any bullet list. It requires that there is an empty line above and below each list entry. The expression commands are used to be able to give comments to the parts of the mapping. > :let m = ":map _f :set ai<CR>" " need 'autoindent' set :let m = m . "{O<Esc>" " add empty line above item :let m = m . "}{)^W" " move to text after bullet :let m = m . "i <CR> <Esc>" " add space for indent :let m = m . "gq}" " format text after the bullet :let m = m . "{dd" " remove the empty line :let m = m . "5lDJ" " put text after bullet :execute m \|" define the mapping (<> notation \|<>\|. Note that this is all typed literally. ^W is "^" "W", not CTRL-W. You can copy/paste this into Vim if '<' is not included in 'cpoptions'.) Note that the last comment starts with \|", because the ":execute" command doesn't accept a comment directly. You also need to set 'textwidth' to a non-zero value, e.g., > :set tw=70 A mapping that does about the same, but takes the indent for the list from the first line (Note: this mapping is a single long line with a lot of spaces): > :map _f :set ai<CR>}{a <Esc>WWmmkD`mi<CR><Esc>kkddpJgq}'mJO<Esc>j < collapse These two mappings reduce a sequence of empty (;b) or blank (;n) lines into a single line > :map ;b GoZ<Esc>:g/^$/.,/./-j<CR>Gdd :map ;n GoZ<Esc>:g/^[ <Tab>]$/.,/[^ <Tab>]/-j<CR>Gdd ============================================================================== Compressing the help files gzip-helpfile* For those of you who are really short on disk space, you can compress the help files and still be able to view them with Vim. This makes accessing the help files a bit slower and requires the "gzip" program. (1) Compress all the help files: "gzip doc/.txt". (2) Edit "doc/tags" and change the ".txt" to ".txt.gz": > :%s=$\t.\.txt$\t=\1.gz\t= (3) Add this line to your vimrc: > set helpfile={dirname}/help.txt.gz Where {dirname} is the directory where the help files are. The \|gzip\| plugin will take care of decompressing the files. You must make sure that $VIMRUNTIME is set to where the other Vim files are, when they are not in the same location as the compressed "doc" directory. See \|$VIMRUNTIME\|. ============================================================================== Executing shell commands in a window shell-window See \|terminal\|. Another solution is splitting your terminal screen or display window with the "splitvt" program. You can probably find it on some ftp server. The person that knows more about this is Sam Lantinga <slouken@cs.ucdavis.edu>. Another alternative is the "window" command, found on BSD Unix systems, which supports multiple overlapped windows. Or the "screen" program, found at www.uni-erlangen.de, which supports a stack of windows. ============================================================================== Hex editing hex-editing using-xxd See section \|23.4\| of the user manual. If one has a particular extension that one uses for binary files (such as exe, bin, etc), you may find it helpful to automate the process with the following bit of autocmds for your <.vimrc>. Change that ".bin" to whatever comma-separated list of extension(s) you find yourself wanting to edit: > " vim -b : edit binary using xxd-format! augroup Binary au! au BufReadPre .bin let &bin=1 au BufReadPost .bin if &bin \| %!xxd au BufReadPost .bin set ft=xxd \| endif au BufWritePre .bin if &bin \| %!xxd -r au BufWritePre .bin endif au BufWritePost .bin if &bin \| %!xxd au BufWritePost .bin set nomod \| endif augroup END ============================================================================== Using <> notation in autocommands autocmd-<> The <> notation is not recognized in the argument of an :autocmd. To avoid having to use special characters, you could use a self-destroying mapping to get the <> notation and then call the mapping from the autocmd. Example: map-self-destroy > " This is for automatically adding the name of the file to the menu list. " It uses a self-destroying mapping! " 1. use a line in the buffer to convert the 'dots' in the file name to \. " 2. store that in register '"' " 3. add that name to the Buffers menu list " WARNING: this does have some side effects, like overwriting the " current register contents and removing any mapping for the "i" command. " autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPre * nmap i :nunmap i<CR>O<C-R>%<Esc>:.g/\./s/\./\\./g<CR>0"9y$u:menu Buffers.<C-R>9 :buffer <C-R>%<C-V><CR><CR> autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPre * normal i Another method, perhaps better, is to use the ":execute" command. In the string you can use the <> notation by preceding it with a backslash. Don't forget to double the number of existing backslashes and put a backslash before '"'. > autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPre * exe "normal O\<C-R>%\<Esc>:.g/\\./s/\\./\\\\./g\<CR>0\"9y$u:menu Buffers.\<C-R>9 :buffer \<C-R>%\<C-V>\<CR>\<CR>" For a real buffer menu, user functions should be used (see \|:function\|), but then the <> notation isn't used, which defeats using it as an example here. ============================================================================== Highlighting matching parens match-parens This example shows the use of a few advanced tricks: - using the \|CursorMoved\| autocommand event - using \|searchpairpos()\| to find a matching paren - using \|synID()\| to detect whether the cursor is in a string or comment - using \|:match\| to highlight something - using a \|pattern\| to match a specific position in the file. This should be put in a Vim script file, since it uses script-local variables. It skips matches in strings or comments, unless the cursor started in string or comment. This requires syntax highlighting. A slightly more advanced version is used in the \|matchparen\| plugin. > let s:paren_hl_on = 0 function s:Highlight_Matching_Paren() if s:paren_hl_on match none let s:paren_hl_on = 0 endif let c_lnum = line('.') let c_col = col('.') let c = getline(c_lnum)[c_col - 1] let plist = split(&matchpairs, ':\\|,') let i = index(plist, c) if i < 0 return endif if i % 2 == 0 let s_flags = 'nW' let c2 = plist[i + 1] else let s_flags = 'nbW' let c2 = c let c = plist[i - 1] endif if c == '[' let c = '\[' let c2 = '\]' endif let s_skip ='synIDattr(synID(line("."), col("."), 0), "name") ' . \ '=~? "string\\\|comment"' execute 'if' s_skip '\| let s_skip = 0 \| endif' let [m_lnum, m_col] = searchpairpos(c, '', c2, s_flags, s_skip) if m_lnum > 0 && m_lnum >= line('w0') && m_lnum <= line('w$') exe 'match Search /$\%' . c_lnum . 'l\%' . c_col . \ 'c$\\|$\%' . m_lnum . 'l\%' . m_col . 'c$/' let s:paren_hl_on = 1 endif endfunction autocmd CursorMoved,CursorMovedI * call s:Highlight_Matching_Paren() autocmd InsertEnter * match none < ============================================================================== Opening help in the current window help-curwin By default, help is displayed in a split window. If you prefer it opens in the current window, try this custom `:HelpCurwin` command: > command -bar -nargs=? -complete=help HelpCurwin execute s:HelpCurwin(<q-args>) let s:did_open_help = v:false function s:HelpCurwin(subject) abort let mods = 'silent noautocmd keepalt' if !s:did_open_help execute mods ..

To see it in a browser use: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/1234 (replace 1234 with the issue/pull number) known-bugs -------------------- Known bugs and current work ----------------------- Vim9 - Make everything work: - Does this work now: Implement using imported items at script level from "import * as X" in - import of item that isn't exported: error should mention missing "export"? - no error for using :import in legacy script? - Disallow :open ? - Check: what if 'cpo' is intentionally changed in Vim9 script, does it get restored at the end? - ISN_CHECKTYPE could use check_argtype() - Using a script variable inside a :def function doesn't work if the variable is inside a block, see Test_nested_function(). Should it work? - give error for variable name: var p = function('NoSuchFunc') - When indexing a string, should we include composing characters? #6563 string[0] - first character including its composing characters. string[0 : 0] - same If you don't want that use strcharpart(). Also, add optional arg to strcharpart() to include composing chars, to make it consistent with strchars(). Add strcharlen(), like strchars() but like skipcc is always set - Make closures work better: - Create closure in a loop. Need to make a list of them. - If a :def function is called with a function reference, compile it to get the function type. def Filter(x: string, Cond: func(string): bool) Filter(x, (v) => v =~ '^b') - Make inline function work, to be used as a funcref: var Ref = (arg: type): type => { statement return expr } var Ref = (arg: type) => { statement statement } - For builtin functions using tv_get_string() use check_for_string() to be more strict about the argument type. - Implement :lockvar and :unlockvar. How about local variables? Perhaps only allow this for global variables. Use :final or :const otherwise. - Allow function names that will be script-local to start with lower case letter? Or also require names with s: prefix to use upper case? Also apply this function references "var ref = SomeFunc" - Support passing v:none to use the default argument value. (#6504) - Run the same tests in :def and Vim9 script, like in Test_expr7_not() - Check many more builtin function arguments at compile time. - make 0 == 'string' fail on the script level, like inside :def. - Check that when using a user function name without prefix, it does not find a global function. Prefixing g: is required. - Appending to dict item doesn't work in a :def function: var d: dict<string> = {a: 'x'} d['a'] ..= 'y' d.a ..= 'y' Test to be extended: Test_assign_dict_with_op() - Using ".." at script level doesn't convert arguments to a string. - Compile replacement of :s command: s/pat/\=expr/ - Compile redir to local variable: var_redir_start(). - Implement type cast at the script level. - Compile builtin functions that access local variables: islocked() - When evaluating constants for script variables, some functions could work: has('asdf'), len('string') eval_variable(). Should pass the ".xxx" that follows and return that. - Make "++nr" work. "++g:count" doesn't work, thinks it is a range. - Reload: How to make sure type of script function hasn't changed? - expandcmd() with `=expr` in filename uses legacy expression. - eval_expr() in ex_cexpr() - eval_expr() call in dbg_parsearg() and debuggy_find() - compile "skip" argument of searchpair() - compile "expr" and "call" expression of a channel in channel_exe_cmd()? - give an error for "echo Func()" if Func() does not return anything. - Using "windo echo expr" does not accept a line break inside "expr" (in a :def function and at script level in a not executed block). #7681 - "assert_fails()" cannot access local variables. Perhaps add this: assertfails ... cmd ... endassertfails /E99:.cmd/ Similar to try/catch/endtry but without the boilerplate. Once Vim9 is stable: - Change the help to prefer Vim9 syntax where appropriate - Add all the error numbers in a good place in documentation. - In the generic eval docs, point out the Vim9 syntax where it differs. - Add the "vim9script" feature, can use has('vim9script') - Use Vim9 for runtime files. PR #7497 for autoload/ccomplete.vim Also for Vim9: - better implementation for partial and tests for that. - Make "g:imported = Export.exported" work in Vim9 script. - Make Foo.Bar() work to call the dict function. (#5676) - Error in any command in "vim9script" aborts sourcing. - Find a way to test expressions in legacy and Vim9 script without duplication - Test try/catch and throw better, also nested. Test that return inside try/finally jumps to finally and then returns. - Test that a function defined inside a :def function is local to that function, g: functions can be defined and script-local functions cannot be defined. - compile options that are an expression, e.g. "expr:" in 'spellsuggest', 'foldexpr', 'foldtext', 'printexpr', 'diffexpr', 'patchexpr', 'charconvert', 'balloonexpr', 'includeexpr', 'indentexpr', 'formatexpr'. Give an error if compilation fails. (#7625) Use the location where the option was set for deciding whether it's to be evaluated in Vim9 script context. - implement :type; import type declaration. - implement enum; import enum. - Future work: See \|vim9-classes\| Define the keywords and commands to make sure it will be backwards compatible. - Make debugging work - at least per function. Need to recompile a function to step through it line-by-line? Evaluate the stack and variables on the stack? - List commands when 'verbose' is set or :verbose is used. Further Vim9 improvements, possibly after launch: - For range: make table of first ASCII character with flag to quickly check if it can be a Vim9 command. E.g. "+" can, but "." can't. - compile get_lambda_tv() in popup_add_timeout() - inline call to map() and filter() - Make accessing varargs faster: arg[expr] EVAL expr LOADVARARG (varargs idx) Popup windows: - Add a flag to make a popup window focusable? CTRL-W P cycle over any preview window or focusable popup, end up back in current window. ? - switch between current window and all popup windows Esc in popup window goes back to previous current window - Add a termcap entry for changing the cursor when it goes under the popup and back. like t_SI and t_EI (t_SU and t_EU, where "U" means under?) - With terminal in popup, allow for popup_hide() to temporarily hide it.? - Fire some autocommand event after a new popup window was created and positioned? PopupNew? Could be used to set some options or move it out of the way. (#5737) However, it may also cause trouble, changing the popup of another plugin. - Width is not computed correctly when minwidth and maxwidth are &columns and padding and a scrollbar are used. (#6676) - Should popup_getoptions() also return the mask? #7774 - Add a way to use popup_menu() synchronously: instead of invoking the callback, return the choice. (Ben Jackson, #6534) - Use popup (or popup menu) for command line completion - When using a popup for the info of a completion menu, and there is not enough space, let the popup overlap with the menu. (#4544) - Implement flip option. - Make redrawing more efficient and avoid flicker: - put popup menu also in popup_mask? - Match does not have right BG color if line length equals popup width. (#5658) - Any other commands to disable in a popup window? Use ERROR_IF_POPUP_WINDOW for these. - Figure out the size and position better if wrapping inserts indent Text properties: - Popup attached to text property stays visible when text is no longer visible. (#7736) - Popup attached to text property stays visible when text is deleted with "cc". (#7737) "C" works OK. "dd" also files in a buffer with a single line. - Auto-indenting may cause highlighting to shift. (#7719) - "cc" does not call inserted_bytes(). (Axel Forsman, #5763) - Combining text property with 'cursorline' does not always work (Billie Cleek, #5533) - Should we let the textprop highlight overrule other (e.g. diff) highlight if the priority is above a certain value? (#7392) - See remarks at top of src/textprop.c 'incsearch' with :s: - :s/foo using CTRL-G moves to another line, should not happen, or use the correct line (it uses the last but one line) (Lifepillar, Aug 18, #3345) - Also support range: :/foo/,/bar/delete - Also support for user command, e.g. Cfilter - :%s/foo should take the first match below the cursor line, unless there isn't one? Then :%s?foo should take the first match above the cursor line. Prompt buffer: - Add a command line history, using up/down keys. issue #5010 - delay next prompt until plugin gives OK? - add prompt_addtext({buf}, {expr}) none add text to a prompt buffer Terminal debugger: - Make prompt-buffer variant work better. - Add option to not open the program window. It's not used when attaching to an already running program. (M. Kelly) - When only gdb window exists, on "quit" edit another buffer. - Use a sign group - Termdebug does not work when Vim was built with mzscheme: gdb hangs just after "run". Everything else works, including communication channel. Not initializing mzscheme avoid the problem, thus it's not some #ifdef. - Add support for lldb? issue #3565 - Could we do something similar for debugging Vim scripts? At least see the script while stepping through it. Simple version would use an extra window. More complete solution would actually run Vim in a Terminal and control it with another Vim instance. Terminal emulator window: - Can escape a terminal popup with win_gotoid(), should be an error - No support for underline color, t_8u. - When in terminal-Normal mode when the job finishes, the cursor jumps to the end but the window is not updated. This only happens when typing "a". :term bash -c "for V in {0..5}; do echo $V; sleep 1; done" - When started with ":terminal ++close" and the shell exits but there is a background process, the window remains open, because the channel still exists (and output still shows). Perhaps close the window when an explicit ++close was used? (#5931) - Using "CTRL-W :confirm quite" and selecting "yes" should work like ":quit!". (Harm te Hennepe, #6129) - When the job in the terminal doesn't use mouse events, let the scroll wheel scroll the scrollback, like a terminal does at the shell prompt. #2490 A bit like using CTRL-W N first. Jump back like with "a" when any key is typed. And use modeless selection. #2962 - Use CTRL-W CTRL-K to enter a digraph? #5371 - When Vim runs in the terminal and changes the title, the statusline needs to be redrawn. - GUI: When using ":set go+=!" a system() call causes the hit-enter prompt. (#3327) - Allow for specifying the directory, with ++cwd={dir}. - With a vertical split only one window is updated. (Linwei, 2018 Jun 2, #2977) - When pasting should call vterm_keyboard_start_paste(), e.g. when using K_MIDDLEMOUSE, calling insert_reg(). - Users expect parsing the :term argument like a shell does, also support single quotes. E.g. with: :term grep 'alice says "hello"' (#1999) - Win32: Redirecting input does not work, half of Test_terminal_redir_file() is disabled. - Win32: Redirecting output works but includes escape sequences. - Win32: Make terminal used for :!cmd in the GUI work better. Allow for redirection. - When the job only outputs lines, we could handle resizing the terminal better: store lines separated by line breaks, instead of screen lines, then when the window is resized redraw those lines. - Redrawing is slow with Athena and Motif. (Ramel Eshed) - For the GUI fill termios with default values, perhaps like pangoterm: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~leonerd/pangoterm/trunk/view/head:/main.c#L134 - When 'encoding' is not utf-8, or the job is using another encoding, setup conversions. Include patch #6290: recognize shell directory change. Valgrind reports memory leaks in test_options. test_arglist func Test_all_not_allowed_from_cmdwin() hangs on MS-Windows. Mapping with partial match not executed properly in GTK. (Ingo Karkat, #7082) Patch for Template string: #4634 Have another look at the implementation. Patch to implement the vimtutor with a plugin: #6414 Was originally written by Felipe Morales. Adding "10" to 'spellsuggest' causes spell suggestions to become very slow. (#4087) Did patch 8.2.2379 help? Also, z= in German on a long word can take a very long time, but CTRL-C to interrupt does not work. Where to add ui_breakcheck()? Remove SPACE_IN_FILENAME ? It is only used for completion. Making breakat support multibyte characters (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, #6598) Scroll doesn't work correctly, why? Add 'termguiattr' option, use "gui=" attributes in the terminal? Would work with 'termguicolors'. #1740 Patch for blockwise paste reporting changes: #6660. Patch to make fillchars global-local. (#5206) Missing filetype test for bashrc, PKGBUILD, etc. Add an option to not fetch terminal codes in xterm, to avoid flicker when t_Co changes. Add an option to start_timer() to return from the input loop with K_IGNORE. This is useful e.g. when a popup was created that disables mappings, we need to return from vgetc() to make this happen. #7011 Expanding <mods> should put the tab number from cmdmod.tab before "tab". Any way to convert "$" back by using a special value? (#6901) Can we detect true color support? https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 Try setting a color then request the current color, like using t_u7. Regexp to search for duplicate lines does not work correctly: /$^.\n$\1 (Chris Morgan, #6239) MS-Windows: when writing undo file the infostreams are copied in mch_copy_file_attribute(), that seems unnecessary. (#7925) Add a flag to only copy attributes? Changing a capturing group to non-capturing changes the result: #7607 :echo matchstr('aaa bbb', '$.\{-1,}\>$\\|.') aaa :echo matchstr('aaa bbb', '\%(.\{-1,}\>\)\\|.') aaa bbb Should also work without any group: :echo matchstr('aaa bbb', '.\{-1,}\>\\|.') aaa bbb (should be aaa) Check out PR #543 (Roland Puntaier). Patch for multibyte characters in langmap and applying a mapping on them. (Christian Brabandt, 2015 Jun 12, update July 25) Is this the right solution? Need to cleanup langmap behavior: - in vgetorpeek() apply langmap to the typeahead buffer and put the result in a copy-buffer, only when langmap is appropriate for the current mode. Then check for mapping and let gotchars() work on the copy-buffer. - Remove LANGMAP_ADJUST() in other parts of the code. Make sure the mode is covered by the above change. So that replaying the register doesn't use keymap/langmap and still does the same thing. Also see #737: langmap not applied to replaying recording. Buffer autocommands are a bit inconsistent. Add a separate set of autocommands for the buffer lifecycle: BufIsCreated (after buffer ID exists) BufIsLoaded (after buffer ID has content) BufIsUnloaded (after buffer ID no longer has) BufIsWiped (after buffer ID was wiped) BufIsRenamed (after buffer ID gets another name) The buffer list and windows are locked, no changes possible Add a ModeChanged autocommand that has an argument indicating the old and new mode, as what's returned from mode(). Also used for switching Terminal mode. Matchparen doesn't remove highlight after undo. (#7054) Is OK when syntax HL is active. Currently Del can be used to delete the last character of a typed count. Can it also be used to delete an incomplete Normal mode command? (#7096) After an operator: should work. After "a" or "i" for text objects: should work. Using "au!" after "filetype on" is a bit slow. Can the matching of autocommands be made faster?

(Marcin Szewczyk, 2017 Apr 26) Using 'wildignore' also applies to literally entered file name. Also with :drop (remote commands). Implement option_save() and option_restore(): option_restore({list}) option_restore() Restore options previously saved by option_save(). When buffer-local options have been saved, this function must be called when the same buffer is the current buffer. When window-local options have been saved, this function must be called when the same window is the current window. When in the wrong buffer and/or window an error is given and the local options won't be restored. option_save({list}) option_save() Saves the options named in {list}. The returned value can be passed to option_restore(). Example: > let s:saved_options = option_save([ \ 'ignorecase', \ 'iskeyword', \ ]) au <buffer> BufLeave * \ call option_restore(s:saved_options) < The advantage over using `:let` is that global and local values are handled and the script ID is restored, so that `:verbose set` will show where the option was originally set, not where it was restored. Alternatively: save and restore ALL options. Implementation needs to use copy-on-write. Return an ID from option_save(), when option_restore(ID) is called give an error if another option_save() was called in the meantime, they must be balanced.

When using command line window, CmdlineLeave is triggered without CmdlineEnter. (xtal8, 2017 Oct 30, #2263) Add some way to get the nested state. Although CmdwinEnter is obviously always nested. matchit hasn't been maintained for a long time. #955. Problem with 'delcombine'. (agguser, 2017 Nov 10, #2313) MS-Windows: buffer completion doesn't work when using backslash (or slash) for a path separator. (xtal8, #2201) Would be nice for Insert mode completion to highlight the text that was added (and may change when picking another completion). Test runtime files. Start with filetype detection: testdir/test_filetype.vim Window not closed when deleting buffer. (Harm te Hennepe, 2017 Aug 27, #2029) Add options_default() / options_restore() to set several options to Vim defaults for a plugin. Comments from Zyx, 2017 May 10. Perhaps use a vimcontext / endvimcontext command block. After using :noautocmd CursorMoved may still trigger. (Andy Stewart, 2017 Sep 13, #2084). Set old position after the command. When bracketed paste is used, pasting at the ":append" prompt does not get the line breaks. (Ken Takata, 2017 Aug 22) The ":move" command does not honor closed folds. (Ryan Lue, #2351) Cannot copy modeless selection when cursor is inside it. (lkintact, #2300) Test_writefile_fails_conversion failure on Solaris because if different iconv behavior. Skip when "uname" returns "SunOS"? (Pavel Heimlich, #1872) 'tagrelative' is broken in specific situation. (xaizek, 2017 Oct 19, #2221) The ++ options for the :edit command are also useful on the Vim command line. When recovering a file, put the swap file name in b:recovered_swapfile. Then a command can delete it. Overlong utf-8 sequence is displayed wrong. (Harm te Hennepe, 2017 Sep 14, #2089) Patch with possible solution by Björn Linse. The change list index is local to a buffer, but it doesn't make sense using it for another buffer. (lacygoill) Copy w_changelistidx to wininfo_S and back. X11: Putting more than about 262040 characters of text on the clipboard and pasting it in another Vim doesn't work. (Dominique Pelle, 2008 Aug 21-23) clip_x11_request_selection_cb() is called with zero value and length. Also: Get an error message from free() in the process that owns the selection. Seems to happen when the selection is requested the second time, but before clip_x11_convert_selection_cb() is invoked, thus in X library code. Kazunobu Kuriyama is working on a proper fix. (2017 Jul 25) Problem with three-piece comment. (Michael Lee, 2017 May 11, #1696) Creating a partial with an autoload function is confused about the "self" attribute of the function. For an unknown function assume "self" and make that optional? (Bjorn Linse, 2017 Aug 5) Cindent: returning a structure has more indent for the second item. (Sam Pagenkopf, 2017 Sep 14, #2090) Patch from Christian Brabandt to preserve upper case marks when wiping out a buffer. (2013 Dec 9) Also fixes #2166? Profile of a dict function is lost when the dict is deleted. Would it be possible to collect this? (Daniel Hahler, #2350) When checking if a bufref is valid, also check the buffer number, to catch the case of :bwipe followed by :new. Patch to skip writing a temp file for diffing if the buffer is equal to the existing file. (Akria Sheng, 2017 Jul 22) Could also skip writing lines that are the same. MS-Windows: Opening same file in a second gvim hangs. (Sven Bruggemann, 2017 Jul 4) Setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" makes a global command very slow (Daniel Drucker, 2017 May 8). This was supposed to be fixed, did it break again somehow? Christian cannot reproduce it. Using composing char in mapping does not work properly. maparg() shows the wrong thing. (Nikolai Pavlov, 2017 Jul 8, #1827) Or is this not an actual problem? Better TeX indent file. (Christian Brabandt, 2017 May 3) Use gvimext.dll from the nightly build? (Issue #249) 'synmaxcol' works with bytes instead of screen cells. (Llandon, 2017 May 31, #1736) Problem with using :cd when remotely editing a file. (Gerd Wachsmuth, 2017 May 8, #1690) Using "wviminfo /tmp/viminfo" does not store file marks that Vim knows about, it only works when merging with an existing file. (Shougo, 2017 Jun 19, #1781) Memory leak in test97? The string is actually freed. Weird. assert_fails() can only check for the first error. Make it possible to have it catch multiple errors and check all of them. Add a toolbar in the terminal. Can be global, above all windows, or specific for one window. Make maparg() also return the raw rhs, so that it doesn't depend on 'cpo'. (Brett Stahlman, 2017 May 23) Even better: add a way to disable a mapping temporarily and re-enable it later. This is for a sub-mode that is active for a short while (one buffer). Still need maplist() to find the mappings. What can we use to identify a mapping? Something unique would be better than the LHS. Perhaps simpler: actually delete the mappings. Use maplist() to list matching mappings (with a lhs prefix, like maparg()), mapdelete() to delete, maprestore() to restore (using the output of maplist()). Add an argument to :mkvimrc (or add another command) to skip mappings from plugins (source is a Vim script). No need to put these in a .vimrc, they will be defined when the plugin is loaded. Use tb_set(winid, [{'text': 'stop', 'cb': callback, 'hi': 'Green'}]) tb_highlight(winid, 'ToolBar') tb_get(winid) json_encode(): should convert to utf-8. (Nikolai Pavlov, 2016 Jan 23) What if there is an invalid character? Json string with trailing \u should be an error. (Lcd) import can't be used in define option when include matches too. (Romain Lafourcade, 2017 Jun 18, #1519) Wrong diff highlighting with three files. (2016 Oct 20, #1186) Also get E749 on exit. Another example in #1309 Suggestion to improve pt-br spell checking. (Marcelo D Montu, 2016 Dec 15, #1330) Error in test_startup_utf8 on Solaris. (Danek Duvall, 2016 Aug 17) GTK: When adding a timer from 'balloonexpr' it won't fire, because g_main_context_iteration() doesn't return. Need to trigger an event when the timer expires. Rule to use "^" for statusline does not work if a space is defined with highlighting for both stl and stlnc. Patch by Ken Hamada (itchyny, 2016 Dec 11) Using CTRL-G_U in InsertCharPre causes trouble for redo. (Israel Chauca Fuentes, 2017 Feb 12, #1470) Add a "keytrans()" function, which turns the internal byte representation of a key into a form that can be used for :map. E.g. let xx = "\<C-Home>" echo keytrans(xx) <C-Home> Check for errors E704 and E705 only does VAR_FUNC, should also do VAR_PARTIAL. (Nikolai Pavlov, 2017 Mar 13, #1557) Make a function to check for function-like type? Implement named arguments for functions with optional arguments: func Foo(start, count = 1, all = 1) call Foo(12, all = 0) Add a command to take a range of lines, filter them and put the output somewhere else. :{range}copy {dest} !cmd The TermResponse event is not triggered when a plugin has set 'eventignore' to "all". Netrw does this. (Gary Johnson, 2017 Jan 24) Postpone the event until 'eventignore' is reset. Expanding /*/ is slow. Idea by Luc Hermitte, 2017 Apr 14. Once .exe with updated installer is available: Add remark to download page about /S and /D options (Ken Takata, 2016 Apr 13) Or point to nightly builds: https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases ":sbr" docs state it respects 'switchbuf', but "vsplit" does not cause a vertical split. (Haldean Brown, 2017 Mar 1) Use ADDR_OTHER instead of ADDR_LINES for many more commands. E.g. all the location list commands use a count. Add tests for using number larger than number of lines in buffer. Might be useful to have isreadonly(), like we have islocked(). Avoids exceptions, e.g. when using the b: namespace as a dict. Patch to make v:shell_error writable. (Christian Brabandt, 2016 Sep 27) Useful to restore it. Is there another solution? "ci[" does not look for next [ like ci" does look for next ". (J.F. 2017 Jan 7) Patch for wrong cursor position on wrapped line, involving breakindent. (Ozaki Kiichi, 2016 Nov 25) Patch for 'cursorlinenr' option. (Ozaki Kiichi, 2016 Nov 30) Window resizing with 'winfixheight': With a vertical split the height changes anyway. (Tommy allen, 2017 Feb 21, #1502) Invalid behavior with NULL list. (Nikolai Pavlov, #768) E.g. deepcopy(test_null_list()) Patch to make it possible to extend a list with itself. (Nikolai Pavlov, 2016 Sep 23) Patch to add Zstandard compressed file support. (Nick Terrell, 2016 Oct 24) On Windows buffer completion sees backslash as escape char instead of path separator. (Toffanim, 2016 Nov 24, #1274) Should :vmap in matchit.vim be :xmap? (Tony Mechelynck) Problem with whitespace in errorformat. (Gerd Wachsmuth, 2016 May 15, #807) Undo problem: "g-" doesn't go back, gets stuck. (Björn Linse, 2016 Jul 18) Add "unicode true" to NSIS installer. Doesn't work with Windows 95, which we no longer support. Suppoert sort(l, 'F'), convert strings to float. (#7857) sort() is not stable when using numeric/float sort (Nikolay Pavlov, 2016 Sep 4#1038) sort() does not use 'smartcase' for the skip pattern, even though 'ignorecase' is used. (Filipe Brandenburger, #7322) +channel: - Add a in_cb, invoked when the write buffer has become empty. (Matteo Landi) - Add ch_readlines(): for a channel in NL mode, reads as many lines as are available. Should be more efficient than looping over ch_read() with ch_status() to check for more. - If buffer contents is changed in a callback, set w_redr_status so that it gets redrawn in redraw_after_callback(). #6120 - Add a separate timeout for opening a socket. Currently it's fixed at 50 msec, which is too small for a remote connection. (tverniquet, #2130) - Writing raw mode to a buffer should still handle NL characters as line breaks. (Dmitry Zotikov, 2017 Aug 16) - When out_cb executes :sleep, the close_cb may be invoked. (Daniel Hahler, 2016 Dec 11, #1320) - Implement \|job-term\| ? - Calling a function when receiving a "call" on a channel, using feedkeys() does not work. It does work from a timer. (Qiming Zhao, #3852) - Channel test fails with Motif. Sometimes kills the X11 server. - When a message in the queue but there is no callback, drop it after a while? Add timestamp to queued messages and callbacks with ID, remove after a minute. Option to set the droptime. - Add an option to drop text of very long lines? Default to 1 Mbyte. - Add remark about undo sync, is there a way to force it? - When starting a job, have an option to open the server socket, so we know the port, and pass it to the command with --socket-fd {nr}. (Olaf Dabrunz, Feb 9) How to do this on MS-Windows? - For connection to server, a "keep open" flag would be useful. Retry connecting in the main loop with zero timeout. - job_start(): run job in a newly opened terminal (not a terminal window). With xterm could use -S{pty}. Although user could use "xterm -e 'cmd arg'". Regexp problems: - NFA engine can be slow for some patterns. Dominique found out that most time is spent in addstate_here() copying the threads. Instead of copying, let each thread point to the next one (by offset, the list is reallocated). (Dominique Pelle, 2019 Feb 18) - Old engine: using 'incsearch' /\Zabc does not highlight the "c" if it has a composing character. New engine is OK. (Tony Mechelynck, 2019 May 5) - When search pattern has the base character both with and without combining character, search fails. E.g. "รรีบ" in "การรีบรักใคร". (agguser, #2312) - [:space:] only matches ASCII spaces. Add [:white:] for all space-like characters, esp. including 0xa0. Use character class zero. - Since 7.4.704 the old regex engine fails to match [[:print:]] in 0xf6. (Manuel Ortega, 2016 Apr 24) Test fails on Mac. Avoid using isalpha(), isalnum(), etc? Depends on LC_CTYPE - The old engine does not find a match for "/\%#=1\{80}", the new engine matches everywhere. - Using win_linetabsize() can still be slow. Cache the result, store col and vcol. Reset them when moving to another line. - Very slow with a long line and Ruby highlighting. (John Whitley, 2014 Dec 4) - Bug with pattern: '\vblock (\d+)\.\n.\d+%(\1)@<!\.$' (Lech Lorens, 2014 Feb 3) - Issue 164: freeze on regexp search. - Ignorecase not handled properly for multibyte characters. (Axel Bender, 2013 Dec 11) - Using \@> and \?. (Brett Stahlman, 2013 Dec 21) Remark from Marcin Szamotulski; Remark from Brett 2014 Jan 6 and 7. - NFA regexp doesn't handle \%<v correctly. (Ingo Karkat, 2014 May 12) - Does not work with NFA regexp engine: \%u, \%x, \%o, \%d followed by a composing character - Search for \%d0\+ may fail with E363. (Christian Brabandt, 2016 Oct 4) - \%'[ does not work. '%'] does work. (Masaaki Nakamura, 2016 Apr 4) - Bug relating to back references. (Ingo Karkat, 2014 Jul 24) - New RE does not give an error for empty group: "\{2}" (Dominique Pelle, 2015 Feb 7) - Using back reference before the capturing group sometimes works with the old engine, can we do this with the new engine? E.g. with "/\%(<\1>\)\@<=.\%(<\/$\w\+$>\)\@=" matching text inside HTML tags. This problem is probably the same: "\%(^\1.$\n\)\@<=$\d\+$.$". (guotuofeng, 2015 Jun 22) - Strange matching with "$Hello\n$\@<=A". (Anas Syed, 2015 Feb 12) - Problem with \v(A)@<=b+\1c. (Issue 334) - Diff highlighting can be very slow. (Issue 309) - Using %> for a virtual column has a check based on 'tabsize'. Better would be to cache the result of win_linetabsize(col), storing both col and vcol, and use them to decide whether win_linetabsize() needs to be called. Reset col and vcol when moving to another line. - this doesn't work: "syntax match ErrorMsg /.\%9l\%>20c\&\%<28c/". Leaving out the \& works. Seems any column check after \& fails. - Difference between two engines: ".\zs\/\@>\/" on text "///" (Chris Paul, 2016 Nov 13) New engine not greedy enough? Another one: echom matchstr(" sdfsfsf\n sfdsdfsdf",'[^\n]') (2017 May 15, #1252) Undo message is not always properly displayed. Patch by Ken Takata, 2013 oct 3. Doesn't work properly according to Yukihiro Nakadaira. Also see #1635. Idea from Sven: record sequence of keys. Useful to show others what they are doing (look over the shoulder), and also to see what happened. Probably list of keystrokes, with some annotations for mode changes. Could store in logfile to be able to analyse it with an external command. E.g. to see when's the last time a plugin command was used. cmap using execute() has side effects. (Killthemule, 2016 Aug 17, #983) :map X may print invalid data. (Nikolay Pavlov, 2017 Jul 3, #1816) Patch to order results from taglist(). (Duncan McDougall, 2016 Oct 25) When using ":diffput" through a mapping, undo in the target buffer isn't synced. (Ryan Carney, 2016 Sep 14) Syntax highlighting for messages with RFC3339 timestamp (#946) Did maintainer reply? ml_get errors when reloading file. (Chris Desjardins, 2016 Apr 19) Also with latest version. Completion for input() does not expand environment variables. (chdiza, 2016 Jul 25, #948) Patch to add 'systemencoding', convert between 'encoding' and this for file names, shell commands and the like. (Kikuchan, 2010 Oct 14) Assume the system converts between the actual encoding of the filesystem to the system encoding (usually utf-8). MS-Windows: use WS_HIDE instead of SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE in os_win32.c? Otherwise task flickers in taskbar. Second problem in #966: ins_compl_add_tv() uses get_dict_string() multiple times, overwrites the one buffer. (Nikolay Pavlov, 2016 Aug 5) Patch to improve map documentation. Issue #799. We can use '. to go to the last change in the current buffer, but how about the last change in any buffer? Can we use ', (, is next to .)? Ramel Eshed: system() is much slower than job_start(), why? (Aug 26) When generating the Unicode tables with runtime/tools/unicode.vim the emoji_width table has only one entry. It's possible to add ",," to 'wildignore', an empty entry. Causes problems. Reject the value? #710. When doing "vi buf.md" a BufNew autocommand for .md is not triggered. Because of using the initial buffer? (Dun Peal, 2016 May 12) Neovim patch for utfc_ptr2char_len() https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/4574 No test, needs some work to include. Patch to improve indenting for C++ constructor with initializer list. (Hirohito Higashi, 2016 Mar 31) Zero-out krypt key information when no longer in use. (Ben Fritz, 2017 May 15) Add stronger encryption. Could use libsodium (NaCl). https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/ Possibly include the needed code so that it can be built everywhere. Add a way to restart a timer. It's similar to timer_stop() and timer_start(), but the reference remains valid. Need to try out instructions in INSTALLpc.txt about how to install all interfaces and how to build Vim with them. Appveyor build with self-installing executable, includes getting most interfaces: https://github.com/k-takata/vim/tree/chrisbra-appveyor-build result: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/k-takata/vim/history Problem that a previous silent ":throw" causes a following try/catch not to work. (ZyX, 2013 Sep 28) With examples: (Malcolm Rowe, 2015 Dec 24) Problem using ":try" inside ":execute". (ZyX, 2013 Sep 15) Patch to make tests pass with EBCDIC. (Owen Leibman, 2016 Apr 10) Add ":read :command", to insert the output of an Ex command? Can already do it with ":$put =execute('command')". When repeating the 'confirm' dialog one needs to press Enter. (ds26gte, 2016 Apr 17) #762 exists(":tearoff") does not tell you if the command is implemented. (Tony Mechelynck) Perhaps use exists("::tearoff") to check? Use vim.vim syntax highlighting for help file examples, but without ":" in 'iskeyword' for syntax. Installation of .desktop files does not work everywhere. It's now fixed, but the target directory probably isn't right. Add configure check? Should use /usr/local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications. Or use $XDG_DATA_DIRS. Also need to run update-desktop-database (Kuriyama Kazunobu, 2015 Nov 4) Test object i{ and it do not behave the same. #1379 Do not include the linebreak at the start? Feature request: add the "al" text object, to manipulate a screen line. Especially useful when using 'linebreak' ":cd C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" does not work, even though the directory exists. (Sergio Gallelli, 2013 Dec 29) Patch to avoid redrawing tabline when the popup menu is visible. (Christian Brabandt, 2016 Jan 28) When the CursorMovedI event triggers, and CTRL-X was typed, a script cannot restore the mode properly. (Andrew Stewart, 2016 Apr 20) Do not trigger the event? Patch to fix display of listchars on the cursorline. (Nayuri Aohime, 2013) Update suggested by Yasuhiro Matsumoto, 2014 Nov 25: https://gist.github.com/presuku/d3d6b230b9b6dcfc0477 Patch to make the behavior of "w" more straightforward, but not Vi compatible. With a 'cpo' flag. (Christian Brabandt, 2016 Feb 8) Patch to add optionproperties(). (Anton Lindqvist, 2016 Mar 27, update Apr 13) Patch to add TagNotFound autocommand. (Anton Lindqvist, 2016 Feb 3) Patch to add Error autocommand. (Anton Lindqvist, 2016 Feb 17) Only remembers one error. GVim: when both Tab and CTRL-I are mapped, use CTRL-I not for Tab. Unexpected delay when using CTRL-O u. It's not timeoutlen. (Gary Johnson, 2015 Aug 28) Instead of separately uploading patches to the ftp site, we can get them from github with a URL like this: https://github.com/vim/vim/compare/v7.4.920%5E...v7.4.920.diff Diff for version.c contains more context, can't skip a patch. Python: ":py raw_input('prompt')" doesn't work. (Manu Hack) Comparing nested structures with "==" uses a different comparator than when comparing individual items. Using uninitialized memory. (Dominique Pelle, 2015 Nov 4) MS-Windows: When editing a file with a leading space, writing it uses the wrong name. (Aram, 2014 Nov 7) Vim 7.4. Can't recognize the $ProgramFiles(x86) environment variable. Recognize it specifically? First try with the parens, then without. Patch to add :mapgroup, put mappings in a group like augroup. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, 2016 Feb 19) Value returned by virtcol() changes depending on how lines wrap. This is inconsistent with the documentation. Can we cache the syntax attributes, so that updates for 'relativenumber' and 'cursorline'/'cursorcolumn' are a lot faster? Thus store the attributes before combining them. C highlighting: modern C allows: / comment / #ifdef and also line continuation after #include. I can't recommend it though. Build with Python on Mac does not always use the right library. (Kazunobu Kuriyama, 2015 Mar 28) To support Thai (and other languages) word boundaries, include the ICU library: http://userguide.icu-project.org/boundaryanalysis Patch to use two highlight groups for relative numbers. (Shaun Brady, 2016 Jan 30) MS-Windows: Crash opening very long file name starting with "\\". (Christian Brock, 2012 Jun 29) The OptionSet autocommand event is not always triggered. (Rick Howe, 2015 Sep 24): :diffthis, :diffoff. ":set all&" still does not handle all side effects. Centralize handling side effects for when set by the user, on init and when reset to default. ":tag" does not jump to the right entry of a :tselect. (James Speros, 2015 Oct 9) The argument for "-S" is not taken literally, the ":so" command expands wildcards. Add a ":nowild" command modifier? (ZyX, 2015 March 4) Proposal to make options.txt easier to read. (Arnaud Decara, 2015 Aug 5) Update Aug 14. When using --remote-tab on MS-Windows 'encoding' hasn't been initialized yet, the file name ends up encoded wrong. (Raul Coronado, 2015 Dec 21) Example in editing.txt uses $HOME with the expectation that it ends in a slash. For me it does, but perhaps not for everybody. Add a function that inserts a slash when needed? pathconcat(dir, path) (Thilo Six, 2015 Aug 12) ml_updatechunk() is slow when retrying for another encoding. (John Little, 2014 Sep 11) Patch to fix checking global option value when not using it. (Arnaud Decara, 2015 Jul 23) When 'showbreak' is set repeating a Visual operation counts the size of the 'showbreak' text as part of the operation. (Axel Bender, 2015 Jul 20) Patch to add grepfile(). (Scott Prager, 2015 May 26) Work in progress. Would be useful to have a treemap() or deepmap() function. Like map() but when an item is a list or dict would recurse into it. Patch for global-local options consistency. (Arnaud Decara, 2015 Jul 22) Is this right? Patch to make getregtype() return the right size for non-linux systems. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, 2014 Jul 8) Breaks test_eval. Inefficient, can we only compute y_width when needed? Patch to use different terminal mode settings for system(). (Hayaki Saito) Does this work for everybody? Patch for man.vim. (SungHyun Nam, 2015 May 20) Doesn't work completely (Dominique Orban) Patch to add a "literal" argument to bufnr().

(Ingo Karkat, 2014 Dec 22) When entering and leaving the preview window autocommands are triggered, but these may not work well. Perhaps set a flag to indicate that the preview window is involved? (John Otter, 2015 Oct 27) Using "." to repeat an Ex command puts that command in history. Probably should not happen. If the command is the result of a mapping it's not put in history either. (Jacob Niehus, 2014 Nov 2) Patch from Jacob, Nov 2. "hi link" does not respect groups with GUI settings only. (Mark Lodato, 2014 Jun 8) Bug: Autocompleting ":tag/pat" replaces "/pat" with a match but does not insert a space. (Micha Mos, 2014 Nov 7) No error for missing endwhile. (ZyX, 2014 Mar 20) Patch to make extend() fail early when it might fail at some point. (Olaf Dabrunz, 2015 May 2) Makes extend() slower, do we still want it? Perhaps only the checks that can be done without looping over the dict or arguments. Problem with transparent and matchgroup. Issue #475 Idea: For a window in the middle (has window above and below it), use right-mouse-drag on the status line to move a window up/down without changing its height? It's like dragging the status bar above it at the same time. Patch to add a :domodeline command. (Christian Brabandt, 2014 Oct 21) This does not give an error: (Andre Sihera, 2014 Mar 21) vim -u NONE 1 2 3 -c 'bufdo if 1 \| echo 1' This neither: (ZyX) vim -u NONE 1 2 3 -c 'bufdo while 1 \| echo 1' 'viewdir' default on MS-Windows is not a good choice, it's a system directory.

(Brett Stahlman, 2014 Jun 8) Include a plugin manager with Vim? vim-plug seems to be the best currently: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug. Also Vundle: https://github.com/gmarik/vundle Or minpac: https://github.com/k-takata/minpac, since it leverages the builtin package feature. Long message about this from ZyX, 2014 Mar 23. And following replies. Also see http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/topic/vim%20plugin%20managment.html User view: - Support multiple sources, basically any http:// URL. Or a central place that will work for everybody (github? redirects from vim.org?). Be able to look into the files before deciding to install. - Be able to try out a plugin and remove it again with (almost) no traces. - Each plugin needs a "manifest" file that has the version, dependencies (including Vim version and features), conflicts, list of files, etc. Updater uses that to decide what/how to update. Dependencies can use a URL for specific versions, or short name for scripts on vim.org. - Once a plugin is installed it remembers where it came from, updater checks there. Can manually update when really needed. - Must be possible to install for one user. Also system wide? - Can edit plugin config with Vim. Can temporarily disable a plugin. - Run the update manually, find latest version and install. - Be able to download without special tools, must work for 95% of users. Implementation: - Avoid the 'runtimepath' getting long. Need some other way to keep each plugin separate. - When installing or updating, first figure out what needs to be done. This may involve recursively fetching manifest files for dependencies. Then show the user what's going to change and ask for OK. - Scripts on Vim.org must be able to consist of several files. Is zip format sufficient? Upload the manifest? Or refer to a site that has the manifest? - Best is to fetch individual files or use a Vimball. Reduces dependency on tools that might be missing and allows inspection of the files before installing. Out of scope: - Overview of plugins, ratings, comments, etc. That's another world. - Development work on plugins (although diff with distributed version would be useful). When typing the first character of a command, e.g. "f", then using a menu, the menu item doesn't work. Clear typeahead when using a menu?

When 'foldmethod' is "indent", adding an empty line below a fold and then indented text, creates a new fold instead of joining it with the previous one. (Evan Laforge, 2009 Oct 17) Bug: When reloading a buffer changed outside of Vim, BufRead autocommands are applied to the wrong buffer/window. (Ben Fritz, 2009 Apr 2, May 11) Ignore window options when not in the right window? Perhaps we need to use a hidden window for applying autocommands to a buffer that doesn't have a window. When using "ab foo bar" and mapping <Tab> to <Esc>, pressing <Tab> after foo doesn't trigger the abbreviation like <Esc> would. (Ramana Kumar, 2009 Sep 6) getbufvar() to get a window-local option value for a buffer that's not displayed in a window should return the value that's stored for that buffer. ":he ctrl_u" can be auto-corrected to ":he ctrl-u". There should be a way after an abbreviation has expanded to go back to what was typed. CTRL-G h ? Would also undo last word or line break inserted perhaps. And undo CTRL-W. CTRL-G l would redo. Diff mode out of sync. (Gary Johnson, 2010 Aug 4) Win32 GUI: last message from startup doesn't show up when there is an echoerr command. (Cyril Slobin, 2009 Mar 13) Win32: completion of file name ":e c:\!test" results in ":e c:\\!test", which does not work. (Nieko Maatjes, 2009 Jan 8, Ingo Karkat, 2009 Jan 22) opening/closing window causes other window with 'winfixheight' to change height. Also happens when there is another window in the frame, if it's not very high.

(7tommm (ytommm) 2010 Nov 24) Using ~ works OK on 'a' with composing char, but not on 0x0418 with composing char 0x0301. (Tony Mechelynck, 2009 Mar 4) Searching for composing char works, but not when inside []. (ZyX, Benjamin R. Haskell, 2010 Aug 24) This does not work yet: "a$%C$" (get composing characters into a submatch). Inconsistent: starting with $LANG set to es_ES.utf-8 gives Spanish messages, even though locale is not supported. But ":lang messages es_ES.utf-8" gives an error and doesn't switch messages. (Dominique Pelle, 2009 Jan 26) When $HOME contains special characters, such as a comma, escape them when used in an option. (Michael Hordijk, 2009 May 5) Turn "esc" argument of expand_env_esc() into string of chars to be escaped. Should make 'ignorecase' global-local, so that it makes sense setting it from a modeline. Add cscope target to Makefile. (Tony Mechelynck, 2009 Jun 18, replies by Sergey Khorev) Consider making YankRing or something else that keeps a list of yanked text part of standard Vim. The "1 to "9 registers are not sufficient. 6 When yanking into the unnamed registers several times, somehow make the previous contents also available (like it's done for deleting). What register names to use? g"1, g"2, etc.? Also do this for the small delete register "-. After doing "su" $HOME can be the old user's home, thus ~root/file is not correct. Don't use it in the swap file. Completion for ":buf" doesn't work properly on Win32 when 'shellslash' is off. (Henrik Ohman, 2009, Jan 29) shellescape() depends on 'shellslash' for quoting. That doesn't work when 'shellslash' is set but using cmd.exe. (Ben Fritz) Use a different option or let it depend on whether 'shell' looks like a unix-like shell? Bug: in Ex mode (after "Q") backslash before line break, when yanked into a register and executed, results in <Nul>: instead of line break.

(Yongwei Wu, 2008 Mar 1, Mar 23) Now at: http://vimgadgets.sourceforge.net/liblinebreak/ Greek sigma character should be lower cased depending on the context. Can we make this work? (Dominique Pelle, 2009 Sep 24) When changing 'encoding' convert all the swap file names, so that we can still delete them. Also convert all buffer file names? "gqip" in Insert mode has an off-by-one error, causing it to reflow text. (Raul Coronado, 2009 Nov 2) MS-Windows: editing the first, empty buffer, 'ffs' set to "unix,dos", ":enew" doesn't set 'ff' to "unix". (Ben Fritz, 2008 Dec 5) Reusing the old buffer probably causes this. 'scrollbind' is not respected when deleting lines or undo. (Milan Vancura, 2009 Jan 16) Document that default font in Athena can be set with resources: XtDefaultFont: "9x15" XtDefaultFontSet: "9x15" (Richard Sherman, 2009 Apr 12) Having "Syntax" in 'eventignore' for :bufdo may cause problems, e.g. for ":bufdo e" when buffers are open in windows. ex_listdo(eap) could set the option only for when jumping to another buffer, not when the command argument is executed. ":pedit %" with a BufReadPre autocommand causes the cursor to move to the first line. (Ingo Karkat, 2008 Jul 1) Ian Kelling is working on this. Similar problem with ":e". (Marc Montu, 2014 Apr 22) Wildmenu not deleted: "gvim -u NONE", ":set nocp wildmenu cmdheight=3 laststatus=2", CTRL-D CTRL-H CTRL-H CTRL-H. (A.Politz, 2008 April 1) Works OK with Vim in an xterm. Cursor line moves in other window when using CTRL-W J that doesn't change anything. (Dasn, 2009 Apr 7) On Unix "glob('does not exist~')" returns the string. Without the "~" it doesn't. (John Little, 2008 Nov 9) Shell expansion returns unexpanded string? Don't use shell when "~" is not at the start? When using ":e ++enc=foo file" and the file is already loaded with 'fileencoding' set to "bar", then do_ecmd() uses that buffer, even though the fileencoding differs. Reload the buffer in this situation? Need to check for the buffer to be unmodified. Unfinished patch by Ian Kelling, 2008 Jul 11. Followup Jul 14, need to have another look at it. c.vim: XXX in a comment is colored yellow, but not when it's after "#if 0". (Ilya Dogolazky, 2009 Aug 7) You can type ":w ++bad=x fname", but the ++bad argument is ignored. Give an error message? Or is this easy to implement? (Nathan Stratton Treadway, 2008 Aug 20) This is in ucs2bytes(), search for 0xBF. Using the ++bad argument is at the other match for 0xBF. When adding "-complete=file" to a user command this also changes how the argument is processed for <f-args>.

Fix by Ian Kelling? ":help s/~" jumps to s/\~, while ":help s/\~" doesn't find anything. (Tim Chase) Fix by Ian Kelling, 2008 Jul 14. When mapping : to ; and ; to :, @; doesn't work like @: and @: doesn't work either. Matt Wozniski: nv_at() calls do_execreg() which uses put_in_typebuf(). Char mapped twice? Despite adding save_subexpr() this still doesn't work properly: Regexp: matchlist('12a4aaa', '^$.\{-}$$\%5c\@<=a\+$$.\+$\?') Returns ['12a4', 'aaa', '4aaa'], should be ['12a4', 'aaa', ''] Backreference not cleared when retrying after \@<= fails? (Brett Stahlman, 2008 March 8) Problem with remote_send(). (Charles Campbell, 2008 Aug 12) ftplugin for help file should set 'isk' to help file value. Win32: remote editing fails when the current directory name contains "[". (Ivan Tishchenko, Liu Yubao) Suggested patch by Chris Lubinski: Avoid escaping characters where the backslash is not removed later. Asked Chris for an alternate solution, also for src/ex_getln.c. This also fails when the file or directory name contains "%". (Thoml, 2008 July 7) Using --remote-silent while the current directory has a # in the name does not work, the # needs to be escaped.

(Devin Bayer) Command line completion: Scanning for tags doesn't check for typed key now and then? Hangs for about 5 seconds. Appears to be caused by finding include files with "foo/" in 'path'. (Kalisiak, 2006 July 15) Additional info: When using the \|wildcards\| globing, vim hangs indefinitely on lots of directories. The \|file-searching\| globing, like in ":set path=/" does not hang as often as with globing with \|wildcards\|, like in ":1find //file". This is for files that unix "find" can find very quickly. Merging the 2 kinds of globing might make this an easier fix. (Ian Kelling, 2008 July 4) When the file name has parenthesis, e.g., "foo (bar).txt", ":!ls '%'" has the parenthesis escaped but not the space. That's inconsistent. Either escape neither or both. No escaping might be best, because it doesn't depend on particularities of the shell. (Zvi Har'El, 2007 Nov 10) (Teemu Likonen, 2008 Jun 3) However, for backwards compatibility escaping might be necessary. Check if the user put quotes around the expanded item? A throw in a function causes missing an endif below the call. (Spiros Bousbouras, 2011 May 16) Error E324 can be given when a cron script has wiped out our temp directory.

When using --remote-silent and the file name matches 'wildignore' get an E479 error. without --remote-silent it works fine. (Ben Fritz, 2008 Jun 20) GVim: dialog for closing Vim should check if Vim is busy writing a file. Then use a different dialog: "busy saving, really quit? yes / no". Check other interfaces for changing curbuf in a wrong way. Patch like for if_ruby.c. ":helpgrep" should use the directory from 'helpfile'. The need_fileinfo flag is messy. Instead make the message right away and put it in keep_msg? Editing a file remotely that matches 'wildignore' results in a "no match" error. Should only happen when there are wildcards, not when giving the file name literally, and esp. if there is only one name. Test 61 fails sometimes. This is a timing problem: "sleep 2" sometimes takes longer than 2 seconds. Using ":au CursorMoved * cmd" invokes mch_FullName(), which can be slow. Can this be avoided? (Thomas Waba, 2008 Aug 24) Also for ":w" without a file name. The buffer has the full path in ffname, should pass this to the autocommand. "vim -C" often has 'nocompatible', because it's set in some startup script. Set 'compatible' after startup is done? Patch by James Vega, 2008 Feb 7. VMS: while editing a file found in complex, Vim will save file into the first directory of the path and not to the original location of the file. (Zoltan Arpadffy) VMS: VFC files are in some cases truncated during reading (Zoltan Arpadffy) input() completion should not insert a backslash to escape a space in a file name? Ruby completion is insecure. Can this be fixed? When 'backupskip' is set from $TEMP special characters need to be escaped. (patch by Grembowietz, 2007 Feb 26, not quite right) Another problem is that file_pat_to_reg_pat() doesn't recognize "\\", so "\\(" will be seen as a path separator plus "\(". gvim d:\path\path\(FILE).xml should not remove the \ before the (. This also fails with --remote. When doing ":quit" the Netbeans "killed" event isn't sent. (Xavier de Gaye, 2008 Nov 10) call netbeans_file_closed() at the end of buf_freeall(), or in all places where buf_freeall() is called? aucmd_prepbuf() should also use a window in another tab page.

(Ralf Wildenhues, 2008 Jul 22) There should be something about spell checking in the user manual. Mac: Using gvim: netrw window disappears. (Nick Lo, 2006 Jun 21) Add an option to specify the character to use when a double-width character is moved to the next line. Default '>', set to a space to blank it out. Check that char is single width when it's set (compare with 'listchars'). The generated vim.bat can avoid the loop for NT. (Carl Zmola, 2006 Sep 3) When showing a diff between a non-existent file and an existing one, with the cursor in the empty buffer, the other buffer only shows the last line. Change the "insert" into a change from one line to many? (Yakov Lerner, 2008 May 27) These two abbreviations don't give the same result: let asdfasdf = "xyz\<Left>" cabbr XXX <C-R>=asdfasdf<CR> cabbr YYY xyz<Left> Michael Dietrich: maximized gvim sometimes displays output of external command partly. (2006 Dec 7) In FileChangedShell command it's no longer allowed to switch to another buffer. But the changed buffer may differ from the current buffer, how to reload it then? For Aap: include a config.arg.example file with hints how to use config.arg. Command line completion when 'cmdheight' is maximum and 'wildmenu' is set, only one buffer line displayed, causes display errors. Completing with 'wildmenu' and using <Up> and <Down> to move through directory tree stops unexpectedly when using ":cd " and entering a directory that doesn't contain other directories. Default for 'background' is wrong when using xterm with 256 colors. Table with estimates from Matteo Cavalleri, 2014 Jan 10. Setting 'background' resets the Normal background color: highlight Normal ctermbg=DarkGray set background=dark This is undesired, 'background' is supposed to tell Vim what the background color is, not reset it. Completion menu: For a wrapping line, completing a long file name, only the start of the path is shown in the menu. Should move the menu to the right to show more text of the completions. Shorten the items that don't fit in the middle? Accessing file#var in a function should not need the g: prepended. When exiting detects a modified buffer, instead of opening the buffer in the current tab, use an existing tab, if possible. Like finding a window where the buffer is displayed. (Antonios Tsakiridis) When ":cn" moves to an error in the same line the message isn't shortened. Only skip shortening for ":cc"? Problem with ":call" and dictionary function.

Cursor line at bottom of window instead of halfway after saving view and restoring. Only with 'nowrap'. (Robert Webb, 2008 Aug 25) Netrw has trouble executing autocommands only for a directory. Add <isdir> and <notisdir> to autocommand patterns? Also <isfile>? Add command modifier that skips wildcard expansion, so that you don't need to put backslashes before special chars, only for white space. Syntax HL: open two windows on the same C code, delete a ")" in one window, resulting in highlighted "{" in that window, not in the other. In mswin.vim: Instead of mapping <C-V> for Insert mode in a complicated way, can it be done like ":imap <C-V> <MiddleMouse>" without negative side effects? GTK: when the Tab pages bar appears or disappears while the window is maximized the window is no longer maximized. Patch that has some idea but doesn't work from Geoffrey Antos, 2008 May 5. Also: the window may no longer fit on the screen, thus the command line is not visible. When right after "vim file", "M" then CTRL-W v the windows are scrolled differently and unexpectedly. Caused by patch 7.2.398? The magic clipboard format "VimClipboard2" appears in several places. Should be only one. Win32, NTFS: When editing a specific infostream directly and 'backupcopy' is "auto" should detect this situation and work like 'backupcopy' is "yes".

When 'encoding' is utf-8 typing text at the end of the line causes previously typed characters to be redrawn. Caused by patch 7.1.329. (Tyler Spivey, 2008 Sep 3, 11) ":vimgrep" does not recognize a recursive symlink. Is it possible to detect this, at least for Unix (using device/inode)? When switching between windows the cursor is often put in the middle. Remember the relative position and restore that, just like lnum and col are restored. (Luc St-Louis) Patch to support horizontal scroll wheel in GTK. Untested. (Bjorn Winckler, 2010 Jun 30) Add an option for a minimal text length before inserting a line break for 'textwidth'. Avoids very short lines when a very long word follows. (Kartik Agaram) Better plugin support (not plugin manager, see elsewhere for that): - Avoid use of feedkeys, add eval functions where needed: - manipulating the Visual selection? - Add createmark(): add a mark like mM, but return a unique ID. Need some way to clean them up again... Use a name + the script ID. Add createmark( , 'c') to track inserts/deletes before the column. - Plugins need to make a lot of effort, lots of mappings, to know what happened before pressing the key that triggers a plugin action. How about keeping the last N pressed keys, so that they do not need to be mapped? - equivalent of netbeans_beval_cb(). With an autocommand? - Add something to enable debugging when a remote message is received. More patches: - Another patch for Javascript indenting. (Hari Kumar, 2010 Jul 11) Needs a few tests. - Add 'cscopeignorecase' option. (Liang Wenzhi, 2006 Sept 3) - Extra argument to strtrans() to translate special keys to their name (Eric Arnold, 2006 May 22) - Mac: indicate whether a buffer was modified. (Nicolas Weber, 2006 Jun 30) - Allow negative 'nrwidth' for left aligning. (Nathan Laredo, 2006 Aug 16) - ml_append_string(): efficiently append to an existing line. (Brad Beveridge, 2006 Aug 26) Use in some situations, e.g., when pasting a character at a time? - recognize hex numbers better. (Mark Manning, 2006 Sep 13) - Add <AbbrExpand> key, to expand an abbreviation in a mapping. (Kana Natsuno, 2008 Jul 17) - Add 'wspara' option, also accept blank lines like empty lines for "{" and "}". (Mark Lundquist, 2008 Jul 18) - Patch to add CTRL-T to delete part of a path on cmdline. (Adek, 2008 Jul 21) - Instead of creating a copy of the tutor in all the shell scripts, do it in vimtutor.vim. (Jan Minar, 2008 Jul 20) - When fsync() fails there is no hint about what went wrong. Patch by Ben Schmidt, 2008 Jul 22. - testdir/Make_dos_sh.mak for running tests with MingW. (Bill Mccarthy, 2008 Sep 13) - Replace ccomplete.vim by cppcomplete.vim from www.vim.org? script 1520 by Vissale Neang. (Martin Stubenschrott) Asked Vissale to make the scripts more friendly for the Vim distribution. New version received 2008 Jan 6. No maintenance in two years... - Patch to open dropped files in new tabs. (Michael Trim, 2010 Aug 3) Awaiting updated patches: 9 Mac unicode patch (Da Woon Jung, Eckehard Berns): 8 Add patch from Muraoka Taro (Mar 16) to support input method on Mac? New patch 2004 Jun 16 - selecting proportional font breaks display - UTF-8 text causes display problems. Font replacement causes this. - Command-key mappings do not work. (Alan Schmitt) - With 'nopaste' pasting is wrong, with 'paste' Command-V doesn't work. (Alan Schmitt) - remove 'macatsui' option when this has been fixed. - when 'macatsui' is off should we always convert to "macroman" and ignore 'termencoding'? 9 HTML indenting can be slow. Caused by using searchpair(). Can search() be used instead? A.Politz is looking into a solution. 8 Win32: Add minidump generation. (George Reilly, 2006 Apr 24) 7 Completion of network shares, patch by Yasuhiro Matsumoto. Update 2004 Sep 6. How does this work? Missing comments. 8 Add a few more command names to the menus. Patch from Jiri Brezina (28 feb 2002). Will mess the translations... 7 ATTENTION dialog choices are more logical when "Delete it" appears before "Quit". Patch by Robert Webb, 2004 May 3. - Include flipcase patch: ~/vim/patches/wall.flipcase2 ? Make it work for multibyte characters. - Win32: add options to print dialog. Patch from Vipin Aravind. - Patch to add highlighting for whitespace. (Tom Schumm, 2003 Jul 5) use the patch that keeps using HLF_8 if HLF_WS has not been given values. Add section in help files for these highlight groups? 7 Add "DefaultFG" and "DefaultBG" for the colors of the menu. (Marcin Dalecki has a patch for Motif and Carbon) - Add possibility to highlight specific columns (for Fortran). Or put a line in between columns (e.g., for 'textwidth'). Patch to add 'hlcolumn' from Vit Stradal, 2004 May 20. 8 Add functions: gettext() Translate a message. (Patch from Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Update 2004 Sep 10 Another patch from Edward L. Fox (2005 Nov 24) Search in 'runtimepath'? More docs needed about how to use this. How to get the messages into the .po files? confirm() add "flags" argument, with 'v' for vertical layout and 'c' for console dialog. (Haegg) Flemming Madsen has a patch for the 'c' flag (2003 May 13) raisewin() raise gvim window (see HierAssist patch for Tcl implementation ~/vim/HierAssist/ ) taglist() add argument to specify maximum number of matches. useful for interactive things or completion. col('^') column of first non-white character. Can use "len(substitute(getline('.'), '\S.', '', '')) + 1", but that's ugly. 7 Add patch from Benoit Cerrina to integrate Vim and Perl functions better. Now also works for Ruby (2001 Nov 10) 7 When 'rightleft' is set, the search pattern should be displayed right to left as well? See patch of Dec 26. (Nadim Shaikli) 8 Option to lock all used memory so that it doesn't get swapped to disk (uncrypted). Patch by Jason Holt, 2003 May 23. Uses mlock. 7 Add ! register, for shell commands. (patch from Grenie) 8 In the gzip plugin, also recognize .gz.orig, .gz.bak, etc. Like it's done for filetype detection. Patch from Walter Briscoe, 2003 Jul 1. 7 Add a "-@ filelist" argument: read file names from a file. (David Kotchan has a patch for it) 7 Add ":justify" command. Patch from Vit Stradal 2002 Nov 25. - findmatch() should be adjusted for Lisp. See remark at get_lisp_indent(). Esp. $ and $ should be skipped. (Dorai Sitaram, incomplete patch Mar 18) - For GUI Find/Replace dialog support using a regexp. Patch for Motif and GTK by degreneir (nov 10 and nov 18). - Patch for "paranoid mode" by Kevin Collins, March 7. Needs much more work. Better 'rightleft' or BIDI support: - Minimal Vi with bidi support: https://github.com/aligrudi/neatvi By Ali Gholami Rudi, also worked on arabic.c Spell checking: - When 'cursorline' is set and the first word should have SpellCap highlighting, redrawing the line removes it when moving the cursor away from the line. (#7085) Would need to inspect the end of the previous line and update "capcol_lnum" and "cap_col". - Mixup of highlighting when there is a match and SpellBad. (ZyX, 2015 Jan 1) - Spell files use a latin single quote. Unicode also has another single quote: 0x2019. (Ron Aaron, 2014 Apr 4) New OpenOffice spell files support this with ICONV. But they are not compatible with Vim spell files. The old files can no longer be downloaded. - Add a feature to only consider two spaces after a dot to start a new sentence. Don't give the capitalization error when there is one space. - Add a way to specify punctuation characters. Add the superscript numbers by default: 0x2070, 0xb9, 0xb2, 0xb3, 0x2074 - 0x2079. - In popup menu: If the only problem is the case of the first character, don't offer "ignore" and "add to word list". - Spell menu: When using the Popup menu to select a replacement word, ":spellrepeat" doesn't work. SpellReplace() uses setline(). Can it use "z=" somehow? Or use a new function. Quickfix/Location List: - Window size is wrong when using quickfix window. (Lifepillar, 2018 Aug 24, #2999) - When using CTRL-W CR in the quickfix window, the jumplist in the opened window is cleared, to avoid going back to the list of errors buffer (would have two windows with it). Can we just remove the jump list entries for the quickfix buffer? - When an item in the quickfix list has a file name that does not exist, behave like the item was not a match for :cnext. - When adding an item to a new quickfix list make ":cnext" jump to that item. Make a difference being at the first item and not having used :cnext at all. (Afanasiy Fet, 2017 Jan 3) - When opening quickfix window, disable spell checking? - Patch for supporting count before CR in quickfix window. (AOYAMA Shotaro, 2007 Jan 1) - Patch from Herculano de Lima Einloft Neto for better formatting of the quickfix window (2004 dec 2) - Amiga: When using quickfix with the Manx compiler we only get the first 25 errors. How do we get the rest? 8 The quickfix file is read without conversion, thus in 'encoding'. Add an option to specify the encoding of the errorfile and convert it. Also for ":grep" and ":helpgrep". More generic solution: support a filter (e.g., by calling a function). 7 Add a command that goes back to the position from before jumping to the first quickfix location. Vi incompatibility: - Try new POSIX tests, made after my comments. (Geoff Clare, 2005 April 7) Version 1.5 is in ~/src/posix/1.5. (Lynne Canal) 8 With undo/redo only marks in the changed lines should be changed. Other marks should be kept. Vi keeps each mark at the same text, even when it is deleted or restored. (Webb) Also: A mark is lost after: make change, undo, redo and undo. Example: "{d''" then "u" then "d''": deletes an extra line, because the '' position is one line down. (Veselinovic) 8 When stdin is not a tty, and Vim reads commands from it, an error should make Vim exit. 7 Unix Vim (not gvim): Typing CTRL-C in Ex mode should finish the line (currently you can continue typing, but it's truncated later anyway). Requires a way to make CTRL-C interrupt select() when in cooked input. 8 When loading a file in the .exrc, Vi loads the argument anyway. Vim skips loading the argument if there is a file already. When no file argument given, Vi starts with an empty buffer, Vim keeps the loaded file. (Bearded) 6 In Insert mode, when using <BS> or <Del>, don't wipe out the text, but only move back the cursor. Behaves like '$' in 'cpoptions'. Use a flag in 'cpoptions' to switch this on/off. 8 When editing a file which is a symbolic link, and then opening another symbolic link on the same file, Vim uses the name of the first one. Adjust the file name in the buffer to the last one used? Use several file names in one buffer??? Also: When first editing file "test", which is symlink to "test2", and then editing "test2", you end up editing buffer "test" again. It's not logical that the name that was first used sticks with the buffer. 7 The ":undo" command works differently in Ex mode. Edit a file, make some changes, "Q", "undo" and _all_ changes are undone, like the ":visual" command was one command. On the other hand, an ":undo" command in an Ex script only undoes the last change (e.g., use two :append commands, then :undo). 7 The ":map" command output overwrites the command. Perhaps it should keep the ":map" when it's used without arguments? 7 CTRL-L is not the end of a section? It is for Posix! Make it an option. 7 Add a way to send an email for a crashed edit session. Create a file when making changes (containing name of the swap file), delete it when writing the file. Supply a program that can check for crashed sessions (either all, for a system startup, or for one user, for in a .login file). 7 Vi doesn't do autoindenting when input is not from a tty (in Ex mode). 7 "z3<CR>" should still use the whole window, but only redisplay 3 lines. 7 ":tag xx" should move the cursor to the first non-blank. Or should it go to the match with the tag? Option? 7 Implement 'autoprint'/'ap' option. 7 Add flag in 'cpoptions' that makes <BS> after a count work like <Del> (Sayre). 7 Add flag in 'cpoptions' that makes operator (yank, filter) not move the cursor, at least when cancelled. (default Vi compatible). 7 This Vi-trick doesn't work: "Q" to go to Ex mode, then "g/pattern/visual". In Vi you can edit in visual mode, and when doing "Q" you jump to the next match. Nvi can do it too. 7 Support '\' for line continuation in Ex mode for these commands: (Luebking) g/./a\ g/pattern1/ s/pattern2/rep1\\ line 1\ line 2\\ line 2\ line 3\\ . line4/ 6 ":e /tmp/$tty" doesn't work. ":e $uid" does. Is $tty not set because of the way the shell is started? 6 Vi compatibility (optional): make "ia<CR><ESC>10." do the same strange thing. (only repeat insert for the first line). GTK+ GUI known bugs: 9 Crash with X command server over ssh. (Ciaran McCreesh, 2006 Feb 6) 8 GTK 2: Combining UTF-8 characters not displayed properly in menus (Mikolaj Machowski) They are displayed as separate characters. Problem in creating a label? 8 GTK 2: Combining UTF-8 characters are sometimes not drawn properly. Depends on the font size, "monospace 13" has the problem. Vim seems to do everything right, must be a GTK bug. Is there a way to work around it? 9 Can't paste a Visual selection from GTK-gvim to vim in xterm or Motif gvim when it is longer than 4000 characters. Works OK from gvim to gvim and vim to vim. Pasting through xterm (using the shift key) also works. It starts working after GTK gvim loses the selection and gains it again. - Gnome2: When moving the toolbar out of the dock, so that it becomes floating, it can no longer be moved. Therefore making it float has been blocked for now. Win32 GUI known bugs: - Win32: tearoff menu window should have a scrollbar when it's taller than the screen. 8 The -P argument doesn't work very well with many MDI applications. The last argument of CreateWindowEx() should be used, see MSDN docs. Tutorial: http://win32assembly.online.fr/tut32.html 6 Win32 GUI: With "-u NONE -U NONE" and doing "CTRL-W v" "CTRL-W o", the ":" of ":only" is highlighted like the cursor. (Lipelis) 8 When 'encoding' is "utf-8", should use 'guifont' for both normal and wide characters to make Asian languages work. Win32 fonts contain both type of characters. 7 When font smoothing is enabled, redrawing can become very slow. The reason appears to be drawing with a transparent background. Would it be possible to use an opaque background in most places? 7 The cursor color indicating IME mode doesn't work properly. (Shizhu Pan, 2004 May 9) 8 Win32: When clicking on the gvim title bar, which gives it focus, produces a file-changed dialog, after clicking on a button in that dialog the gvim window follows the mouse. The button-up event is lost. Only with MS-Windows 98? Try this: ":set sw ts", get enter-prompt, then change the file in a console, go back to Vim and click "reload" in the dialog for the changed file: Window moves with the cursor! Put focus event in input buffer and let generic Vim code handle it? 8 Win32 GUI: With maximized window, ":set go-=r" doesn't use the space that comes available. (Poucet) It works OK on Win 98 but doesn't work on Win NT 4.0. Leaves a grey area where the scrollbar was. ":set go+=r" also doesn't work properly. 8 When Vim is minimized and when maximizing it a file-changed dialog pops up, Vim isn't maximized. It should be done before the dialog, so that it appears in the right position. (Webb) 9 When selecting at the more-prompt or hit-enter-prompt, the right mouse button doesn't give popup menu. At the hit-enter prompt CTRL-Y doesn't work to copy the modeless selection. On the command line, don't get a popup menu for the right mouse button. Let the middle button paste selected text (not the clipboard but the non-Visual selection)? Otherwise CTRL-Y has to be used to copy the text. 8 When 'grepprg' doesn't execute, the error only flashes by, the user can hardly see what is wrong. (Moore) Could use vimrun with an "-nowait" argument to only wait when an error occurs, but "command.com" doesn't return an error code. 8 When the 'shell' cannot be executed, should give an appropriate error msg. Esp. for a filter command, currently it only complains the file could not be read. 7 At the hit-enter prompt scrolling now no longer works. Need to use the keyboard to get around this. Pretend <CR> was hit when the user tries to scroll? 7 Scrollbar width doesn't change when selecting other windows appearance. Also background color of Toolbar and rectangle below vert. scrollbar. 6 Drawing text transparently doesn't seem to work (when drawing part cursor). 8 CTRL key doesn't always work in combination with ALT key. It does work for function keys, not for alphabetic characters. Perhaps this is because CTRL-ALT is used by Windows as AltGr? 8 CTRL-- doesn't work for AZERTY, because it's CTRL-[ for QWERTY. How do we know which keyboard is being used? 7 When scrolling, and a background color is dithered, the dither pattern doesn't always join correctly between the scrolled area and the new drawn area (Koloseike). 8 When gui_init_font() is called with "", p_guifont is freed while it might still be used somewhere. This is too tricky, do the font selection first, then set the new font by name (requires putting all logfont parameters in the font name). Athena and Motif: 6 New Motif toolbar button from Marcin Dalecki: - When the mouse pointer is over an Agide button the red becomes black. Something with the way colors are specified in the .xpm file. - The pixmap is two pixels smaller than it should be. The gap is filled with grey instead of the current toolbar background color. 9 Can configure be changed to disable netbeans if the Xpm library is required and it's missing? 8 When using the resource "Vimborderwidth 2" the widgets are positioned wrong. 9 XIM is disabled by default for SGI/IRIX. Fix XIM so that 'imdisable' can be off by default. 9 XIM doesn't work properly for Athena/Motif. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) For now, keep XIM active at all times when the input method has the preediting flag. 8 X11: A menu that contains an umlaut is truncated at that character. Happens when the locale is "C", which uses ASCII instead of IS0-8859-1. Is there a way to use latin1 by default? Gnome_init() seems to do this. 8 Perhaps use fontsets for everything? 6 When starting in English and switching the language to Japanese, setting the locale with ":lang", 'guifontset' and "hi menu font=", deleting all menus and setting them again, the menus don't use the new font. Most of the tooltips work though... 7 Motif: when using a file selection dialog, the specified file name is not always used (when specifying a filter or another directory). 8 When 'encoding' is different from the current locale (e.g., utf-8) the menu strings don't work. Requires conversion from 'encoding' to the current locale. Workaround: set 'langmenu'. Athena GUI: 9 The first event for any button in the menu or toolbar appears to get lost. The second click on a menu does work. 9 When dragging the scrollbar thumb very fast, focus is only obtained in the scrollbar itself. And the thumb is no longer updated when moving through files. 7 The file selector is not resizable. With a big font it is difficult to read long file names. (Schroeder) 4 Re-write the widget attachments and code so that we will not have to go through and calculate the absolute position of every widget every time the window is refreshed/changes size. This will help the "flashing-widgets" problem during a refresh. 5 When starting gvim with all the default colors and then typing ":hi Menu guibg=cyan", the menus change color but the background of the pullright pixmap doesn't change colors. If you type ":hi Menu guibg=cyan font=anyfont", then the pixmap changes colors as it should. Allocating a new pixmap and setting the resource doesn't change the pullright pixmap's colors. Why? Possible Athena bug? Motif GUI: - gui_mch_browsedir() is missing, browsedir() doesn't work nicely. 7 Use XmStringCreateLocalized() instead of XmStringCreateSimple()? David Harrison says it's OK (it exists in Motif 1.2). 8 Lesstif: When deleting a menu that's torn off, the torn off menu becomes very small instead of disappearing. When closing it, Vim crashes. (Phillipps) GUI: 9 On Solaris, creating the popup menu causes the right mouse button no longer to work for extending the selection. (Halevy) 9 When running an external program, it can't always be killed with CTRL-C. e.g., on Solaris 5.5, when using "K" (Keech). Other 'guipty' problems on Solaris 2.6. (Marley) 9 On Solaris: Using a "-geometry" argument, bigger than the window where Vim is started from, causes empty lines below the cmdline. (raf) 8 When setting 'langmenu', it should be effective immediately. Store both the English and the translated text in the menu structure. Re-generate the translation when 'langmenu' has changed. 8 Basic flaw in the GUI code: NextScreen is updated before calling gui_write(), but the GUI code relies on NextScreen to represent the state of where it is processing the output. Need better separation of Vim core and GUI code. 8 When fontset support is enabled, setting 'guifont' to a single font doesn't work. 8 Menu priority for sub-menus for: Amiga. 8 When translating menus ignore the part after the Tab, the shortcut. So that the same menu item with a different shortcut (e.g., for the Mac) are still translated. 8 Add menu separators for Amiga. 8 Add way to specify the file filter for the browse dialog. At least for browse(). 8 Add dialog for search/replace to other GUIs? Tk has something for this, use that code? Or use console dialog. 8 When selecting a font with the font dialog and the font is invalid, the error message disappears too quick. 7 More features in the find/replace dialog: - regexp on/off - search in selection/buffer/all buffers/directory when all buffers/directory is used: - filter for file name when directory is used: - subdirectory on/off - top directory browser 8 gui_check_colors() is not called at the right moment. Do it much later, to avoid problems. 8 gui_update_cursor() is called for a cursor shape change, even when there are mappings to be processed. Only do something when going to wait for input. Or maybe every 100 ms? 8 X11: When the window size is reduced to fit on screen, there are blank lines below the text and bottom scrollbar. "gvim -geometry 80x78+0+0". When the "+0+0" is omitted it works. 8 When starting an external command, and 'guipty' set, BS and DEL are mixed up. Set erase character somehow? 8 The compose key doesn't work properly (Cepas). Both for Win32 and X11. 7 The cursor in an inactive window should be hollow. Currently it's not visible. 7 GUI on Solaris 2.5.1, using /usr/dt/..: When gvim starts, cursor is hollow, after window lowered/raised it's OK. (Godfrey) 7 When starting GUI with ":gui", and window is made smaller because it doesn't fit on the screen, there is an extra redraw. 8 When setting font with .Xdefaults, there is an extra empty line at the bottom, which disappears when using ":set guifont=<Tab>". (Chadzelek) 8 When font shape changes, but not the size, doing ":set font=" does not redraw the screen with the new font. Also for Win32. When the size changes, on Solaris 2.5 there isn't a redraw for the remaining part of the window (Phillipps). - Flashes really badly in certain cases when running remotely from a Sun. 4 Re-write the code so that the highlighting isn't changed multiple times when doing a ":hi clear". The color changes happen three or more times currently. This is very obvious on a 66Mhz 486. Win32 console: 8 Should $USERPROFILE be preferred above $HOMEDRIVE/$HOMEPATH? No, but it's a good fallback, thus use: $HOME $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH SHGetSpecialFolderPath(NULL, lpzsPath, CSIDL_APPDATA, FALSE); $USERPROFILE SHGetSpecialFolderPath(NULL, lpzsPath, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, FALSE); $ALLUSERSPROFILE $SYSTEMDRIVE\ C:\ 8 Win32 console: <M-Up> and <M-Down> don't work. (Geddes) We don't have special keys for these. Should use modifier + key. 8 Win32 console: caps-lock makes non-alpha keys work like with shift. Should work like in the GUI version. 8 Environment variables in DOS are not case sensitive. Make a define for STRCMP_ENV(), and use it when comparing environment var names. 8 Setting 'shellslash' has no immediate effect. Change all file names when it is set/reset? Or only use it when actually executing a shell command? 8 When editing a file on a Samba server, case might matter. ":e file" followed by ":e FILE" will edit "file" again, even though "FILE" might be another one. Set last used name in buflist_new()? Fix do_ecmd(), etc. 8 When a buffer is editing a file like "ftp://mach/file", which is not going to be used like a normal file name, don't change the slashes to backslashes. (Ronald Hoellwarth) Win32 console: 9 When editing a file by its short file name, it should be expanded into its long file name, to avoid problems like these: (Mccollister) 1) Create a file called ".bashrc" using some other editor. 2) Drag that file onto a shortcut or the actual executable. 3) Note that the file name is something like BASHRC~1 4) Go to File->Save As menu item and type ".bashrc" as the file name. 5) Press "Yes" to indicate that I want to overwrite the file. 6) Note that the message "File exists (add ! to override)" is displayed and the file is not saved. Use FindFirstFile() to expand a file name and directory in the path to its long name. 8 Also implement 'conskey' option for the Win32 console version? Look at how Xvi does console I/O under Windows NT. 7 Re-install the use of $TERM and support the use of different terminals, besides the console. 8 Use of <altgr> modifier doesn't work? 5.3 was OK. (Garcia-Suarez/Guckes) 9 Mapping <C-S-Tab> doesn't work correctly. How to see the difference with <C-S-i>? 9 tmpnam() uses file in root of file system: "\asdf". That doesn't work on a Netware network drive. Use same function as for Win32 GUI? 8 In os_win32.h, HAVE_STRICMP and HAVE_STRNICMP are defined only if __GNUC__ is not defined. Shouldn't that be the other way around? Amiga: 8 In mch_inchar() should use convert_input_safe() to handle incomplete byte sequences. 9 In mch_expandpath() a "" is to be expanded, but "\" isn't. Remove backslashes in result. 8 Executing a shell, only one option for 'shell' is separated. Should do all options, using white space separation. Macintosh: - GUI: gui_mch_browsedir() is missing. 7 Loading the Perl library only works on OS/X 10.2 or 10.3, never on both. Load the Perl library dynamically see Python sources file dynload_mac (Jack) dynamic linking: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2064.html 8 inputdialog() doesn't resize when giving more text lines. (David Fishburn, 2006 Sept 28) 8 Define vim_mkdir() for Macintosh. 8 Define mch_writable() for Macintosh. 9 When DiskLock is running, using a swap file causes a crash. Appears to be a problem with writing a file that starts with a dot. (Giacalone) 9 In mac_expandpath() check that handling of backslashes is done properly. "Small" problems: - When using e_secure in do_one_cmd() mention the command being executed, otherwise it's not clear where it comes from. 9 For Turkish vim_tolower() and vim_toupper() also need to use utf_ functions for characters below 0x80. (Sertacyildiz) 9 When the last edited file is a help file, using '0 in a new Vim doesn't edit the file as a help file. 'filetype' is OK, but 'iskeyword' isn't, file isn't readonly, etc. 8 When an ":edit" is inside a try command and the ATTENTION prompt is used, the :catch commands are always executed, also when the file is edited normally. Should reset did_emsg and undo side effects. Also make sure the ATTENTION message shows up. Servatius Brandt works on this. 7 Vimtutor leaves escape sequence in terminal. This is the xterm response to requesting the version number. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) 8 When redirecting and using ":silent" the current column for displaying and redirection can be different. Use a separate variable to hold the column for redirection. 7 The messages for "vim --help" and "vim --version" don't use 'termencoding'. - Could the hit-enter prompt be avoided when a message only overlaps the 'showcmd' area? Clear that area when the next cmd is typed. 8 When 'scrollbind' is set, a window won't scroll horizontally if the cursor line is too short. Add a word in 'scrollopt' to allow moving the cursor to longer line that is visible. A similar thing is done for the GUI when using the horizontal scrollbar. 7 VisVim can only open one file. Hard to solve: each opened file is passed with a separate invocation, would need to use timestamps to know the invocations belong together. 8 When giving a ":bwipeout" command a file-changed dialog may popup for this buffer, which is pointless. (Mike Williams) 8 On MS-Windows ":make" doesn't show output while it is working. Use the tee.exe from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ ? About 16 Kbyte in the UnxUtils.zip archive. Is it better than what we have in src/tee? 8 When doing Insert mode completion a mapping cannot recursively call edit(), because the completion information is global. Put everything in an allocated structure? 8 Command line completion: buffers "foo.txt" and "../b/foo.txt", completing ":buf foo<Tab>" doesn't find the second one. (George V. Reilly) 7 mb_off2cells() doesn't work correctly on the tail byte of a double-byte character. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) It should return 1 when used on a tail byte, like for utf-8. Store second byte of double-byte in ScreenLines2[] (like for DBCS_JPNU) and put a zero in the second byte (like for UTF-8). 7 Inside a function with "perl <<EOF" a line with "$i++" is recognized as an ":insert" command, causing the following "endfunction" not to be found. Add skipping this perl construction inside function definitions. 7 When 'ttimeoutlen' is 10 and 'timeoutlen' is 1000, there is a keycode "<Esc>a" and a mapping <Esc>x", when typing "<Esc>a" with half a second delay should not be interpreted as a keycode. (Hans Ginzel) 7 ":botright 1 new" twice causes all window heights to be changed. Make the bottom window only bigger as much as needed. 7 The Cygwin and MingW makefiles define "PC", but it's not used anywhere. Remove? (Dan Sharp) 9 User commands use the context of the script they were defined in. This causes a "s:var" argument to unexpectedly use a variable in the defining script, not the calling script. Add an argument to ":command": "-keepcontext". Do replace <SID>, so that a function in the defining script can be called. 8 The Japanese message translations for MS-Windows are called ja.sjis.po, but they use encoding cp932. Rename the file and check that it still works. 8 A very long message in confirm() can't be quit. Make this possible with CTRL-C. 8 "gf" always excludes trailing punctuation characters. file_name_in_line() is currently fixed to use ".,:;!". Add an option to make this configurable? 8 'hkmap' should probably be global-local. 8 Using ":s" in a function changes the previous replacement string. Save "old_sub" in save_search_patterns()? 8 Should allow multibyte characters for the delimiter: ":s+a+b+" where "+" is a multibyte character. 8 When appending to a file and 'patchmode' isn't empty, a backup file is always written, even when the original file already exists. 9 When getting focus while writing a large file, could warn for this file being changed outside of Vim. Avoid checking this while the file is being written. 7 The message in bt_dontwrite_msg() could be clearer. 8 The script ID that is stored with an option and displayed with ":verbose set" isn't reset when the option is set internally. For example when 'foldlevel' is set from 'foldlevelstart'. 8 Also store the line number with the script ID and use it for ":verbose", so that "set nocompatible" is found when it changes other option values. When an option is set indirectly mention the command? E.g. when ":diffsplit" sets 'foldmethod'. 8 In the fileformat dialog, "Cancel" isn't translated. Add a global variable for this. (Eduardo Fernandez) 9 When editing a file with 'readonly' set, there is no check for an existing swap file. Then using ":write" (without making any changes) doesn't give a warning either. Should check for an existing swap file without creating one. Unfinished patch by Ian Kelling, 2008 July 14. 7 When 'showbreak' is set, the amount of space a Tab occupies changes. Should work like 'showbreak' is inserted without changing the Tabs. 7 When 'mousefocus' is set and switching to another window with a typed command, the mouse pointer may be moved to a part of the window that's covered by another window and we lose focus. Only move in the y direction, not horizontally? 8 ":hardcopy": - Using the cterm_color[] table is wrong when t_colors is > 16. - Need to handle unprintable characters. - Win32: On a B&W printer syntax highlighting isn't visible. Perform dithering to make grey text? - Add a flag in 'printoptions' to add an empty page to make the total number even. "addempty"? (Mike Williams) - Respect 'linebreak'. Perhaps also 'showbreak'? - Should interpret CTRL-L as a page break. - Grey line numbers are not always readable. Add field in 'printoptions'. Default to black when no syntax highlighting. - Be able to print a window in diff mode. - Be able to specify a colorscheme to use for printing. And a separate one for B&W printing (if that can be detected). 8 When 'virtualedit' is "block,insert" and encoding is "utf-8", selecting a block of one double-wide character, then "d" deletes only half of it. 8 When 'virtualedit' is set, should "I" in blockwise visual mode also insert in lines that don't extend into the block? 8 With 'virtualedit' set, in Insert mode just after the end of line, CTRL-O yh does not yank the last character of the line. (Pavel Papushev) Doing "hl" first appears to make it work. 8 With 'virtualedit' set it's possible to move into the blank area from 'linebreak'. 8 With 'virtualedit' set and 'selection' "exclusive", a Visual selection that ends in or after a tab, "d" doesn't delete (part of) the tab. (Helmut Stiegler) 9 When jumping to a tag, the search pattern is put in the history. When 'magic' is on, the pattern may not work. Translate the pattern depending on p_magic when putting it in the history? Alternative: Store value of 'magic' in history. (Margo) 9 optwin.vim: Restoring a mapping for <Space> or <CR> is not correct for ":noremap". Add "mapcmd({string}, {mode})? Use code from ":mkexrc". 9 term_console is used before it is set (msdos, Amiga). 9 Get out-of-memory for ":g/^/,$s//@/" on 1000 lines, this is not handled correctly. Get many error messages while redrawing the screen, which cause another redraw, etc. 8 [<C-I> doesn't work when '' is in 'iskeyword'. find_pattern_in_path() must escape special characters in the pattern. 8 Vim can overwrite a read-only file with ":w!". ":w" can't overwrite an existing file, "w!" can, but perhaps not a read-only file? Then use ":w!!" for that. Or ask for permission to overwrite it (if file can be made writable) and restore file to readonly afterwards. Overwriting a file for which a swap file exists is similar issue. 7 When compiled with "xterm_clipboard", startup can be slower and might get error message for invalid $DISPLAY. Try connecting to the X server in the background (forked), so that Vim starts up quicker? Connect as soon as the clipboard is to be used (Visual select mode starts, paste from clipboard) 7 X11: Some people prefer to use CLIPBOARD instead of PRIMARY for the normal selection. Add an "xclipboard" argument to the 'clipboard' option? (Mark Waggoner) 6 When the xterm reports the number of colors, a redraw occurs. This is annoying on a slow connection. Wait for the xterm to report the number of colors before drawing the screen. With a timeout. 8 When the builtin xterm termcap contains codes that are not wanted, need a way to avoid using the builtin termcap. 8 Xterm sends ^[[H for <Home> and ^[[F for <End> in some mode. Also recognize these keys? Mostly useful for xterm simulators, like gnometerm. See http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.faq.html#xterm_pc_style. 8 '[ and '] should be set to start/end of line when using a linewise operator (e.g., ":w"). 8 CTRL-A can't handle big "long" numbers, they become negative. Check for "-" character, if not present, use unsigned long. 8 Add suspending with CTRL-Z at the "more" prompt, and when executing a long script in do_cmdline(). 8 When using 'hidden', many swap files will be open. When Vim runs into the maximum number of open files, error messages will appear. Detect that this problem is present, and close any hidden files that don't have changes. 8 With 'viminfo' set such that the ".viminfo" file is written on a FAT filesystem, an illegal file name may be created: ".vim". 8 For each buffer that is opened, the viminfo file is opened and read to check for file marks. This can be slow. 8 Core dump within signal function: gdb doesn't show stack backtrace! Option to skip catch_signals()? 9 Repeating a "cw" with "." doesn't work if the text was pasted from the clipboard. (Thomas Jones) It's because the menu/toolbar item exits Insert mode and uses "gP". How to fix this without breaking inserting a block of text? 8 In Replace mode pasting from the clipboard (using menu or toolbar) inserts all the text. Add ":rmenu"? 8 Pasting with the mouse in Replace mode inserts the text, instead of overwriting, when it is more than one line. Same for using <C-R>. 9 CTRL-E and CTRL-Y don't work in small window when 'so' is 4 and lines are wrapping (Acevedo/in.226). E.g., when using CTRL-E, window height 7, window might actually scroll down when last line of buffer is displayed. --> Remember if the previous command was "cursor follows screen" or "screen follow cursor" and use this in cursupdate(). 7 tilde_replace() can only handle "~/", should also do "~user/". Get the list of home directories (from /etc/passwd? Use getpwent()) and use some clever algorithm to match a path with that. Find common strings in the list? 8 When dragging status line with mouse, sometimes a jump when first clicking on the status line (caused by 'winheight'). Select window on button up, instead of on button down. 8 Dragging the status line doesn't scroll but redraw. 8 When performing incremental search, should abort searching as soon as a character is typed. 8 When the value of $MAKE contains a path, configure can't handle this. It's an autoconf bug. Remove the path from $MAKE to work around it. 8 How to set VIMRC_FILE to \"something\" for configure? Why does this not work: CFLAGS='-DVIMRC_FILE=\"/mydir/myfile\"' ./configure 8 The temporary file is sometimes not writable. Check for this, and use an alternate name when it isn't. Or add the 'temptemplate' option: template for the temp file name ":set temptemplate=/usr/tmp/?????.tmp". Also: Win32 version uses Windows temp directory, which might not work for cygwin bash. 7 Get error ", \+ or $ operand could be empty" for pattern "\(.$\1\{3}". Remember flags for backreferences. 7 When switching to Daylight Saving Time, Vim complains that a file has been changed since last read. Can we use a function that uses GMT? 7 When completing an environment variable after a '$', check for file names that contain a '$' after all have been found. 8 When "cm" termcap entry is missing, starting gvim shouldn't complain about it. (Lohner) Try out with "vt100" entry, cm replaced with cX. 7 When an include file starts with "../", the check for already visiting this file doesn't work. Need to simplify the file name. 7 The names and comments for the arguments of do_browse() are confusing. "dflt" isn't the default file name when "initdir" is not NULL and "initdir" is the default path to be used. 7 When 'scrolloff' is exactly half the window height, "j" causes a scroll of two lines at a time. "k" doesn't do this. (Cory T. Echols) 8 When write_viminfo() is used while there are many orphaned viminfo tempfiles writing the viminfo file fails. Give a clear error message so that the user knows the files have to be deleted. I can't reproduce these (if you can, let me know how!): 9 NT 4.0 on NTFS file system: Editing ".bashrc" (drag and drop), file disappears. Editing ".xyz" is OK. Also, drag&drop only works for three files. (McCollister) Problems that will (probably) not be solved: - GTK: when using the popup menu with spelling suggestions and releasing the right mouse button before the menu appears selecting an item with the right mouse button has no effect. GTK does not produce an event for this. - GTK 2: Cannot use the file selector. When using it many things become slow. This is caused by some code in GTK that writes ~/.recently-used.xbel every time an event is handled. It assumes the main loop is never quit, which is a wrong assumption. Also, it overwrites the file with different file permissions, which is a privacy issue. This needs to be fixed in GTK. A solution in Vim would be really complicated. (2008 Jul 31) This appears to be fixed in Vim 7.3. - xterm title: The following scenario may occur (esp. when running the Vim test script): Vim 1 sets the title to "file1", then restores the title to "xterm" with an ESC sequence when exiting. Vim 2 obtains the old title with an X library call, this may result in "file1", because the window manager hasn't processed the "xterm" title yet. Can apparently only be worked around with a delay. - In a terminal with 'mouse' set such that the mouse is active when entering a command line, after executing a shell command that scrolls up the display and then pressing ":": Selecting text with the mouse works like the display wasn't scrolled. Vim doesn't know how much the external command scrolled up the display. Use Shift to select text. - X windows: When $DISPLAY points to a X server where there is no access permission, trying to connect to the X server causes an error message. XtOpenDisplay() prints this directly, there is no way to avoid it. - X windows: Setting 'guifontset' to an illegal value sometimes crashes Vim. This is caused by a fault in a X library function, can't be solved in Vim. - Win32 tcl: has("tcl") hangs when the tcl84.dll is from cygwin. - Motif: When adding a menu item "Find this &Symbol", the "s" in "this" will be underlined, instead of in "Symbol". Motif doesn't let us specify which character gets the highlighting. - Moving the cursor removes color in color-xterm. This is a color-xterm problem! color-xterm ver. 6.1 beta 3 and later work properly. - In zsh, "gvim&" changes the terminal settings. This is a zsh problem. (Jennings) - Problem with HPterm under X: old contents of window is lost (Cosentino). - Amiga: The ":cq" command does not always abort the Manx compiler. Why? - Linux: A file with protection r--rw-rw- is seen readonly for others. The access() function in GNU libc is probably wrong. - When doing a CTRL-Z and typing a command for the shell, while Vim is busy (e.g. writing a file), the command for the shell is sometimes eaten by Vim, because the terminal mode is changed from RAW to CBREAK. - An old version of GNU tgoto can't handle the terminfo code for "AF". The "%p1" is interpreted as "%p" and "1", causing color not to be working. Fix: Change the "%p1" in the "AF" and "AB" terminfo entries to "%p". (Benzinger). - When running an external command from the GUI, typeahead is going to that program, not to Vim. It looks like the shell eats the characters, Vim can't get back what the external command didn't use. - Win32 GUI: Error code from external command not returned in shell_error. It appears that cmd.exe and command.com don't return an error code. - Win32 GUI: The Toolbar is a bit too high when the flat style is being used. We don't have control over the height of the Toolbar. - Win32: All files created on the day of switching from winter to summer time cause "changed since editing started" messages. It goes away when the file is written again the next day, or the timezone is adjusted. DJGPP version is OK. (Zaimi) Looks like a problem with the Win32 library. Rebooting doesn't help. Time stamps look OK in directory. (Penn) Is this on FAT (stores wall clock time) or NTFS (stores UTS)? - Win32, MS-Windows XP: $HOME uses the wrong drive when the user profiles are not on the boot disk. This is caused by a wrong value of $HOMEDRIVE. This is a bug in XP, see MSKB article 818134. - Win32, MS-Windows: expanding plugin//.vim also picks up dir/ctags.vim,v. This is because the short file name is something like "ctags~1.vim" and that matches the pattern. - SunOS 5.5.1 with Motif: The file open dialog does not have a horizontal scroll bar for the "files" selection. This is a problem in the Motif libraries, get a patch from Sun. - Solaris 2.6 with GTK and Perl: gvim crashes when started. Problem with X input method called from GDK code. Without Perl it doesn't crash. - VMS: Vimdiff doesn't work with the VMS diff, because the output looks different. This makes test 47 fail. Install a Unix-compatible diff. - Win32 GUI: mouse wheel always scrolls rightmost window. The events arrive in Vim as if the rightmost scrollbar was used. - GTK with Gnome: Produces an error message when starting up: Gdk-WARNING *: locale not supported by C library This is caused by the gnome library gnome_init() setting $LC_CTYPE to "en_US". Not all systems support this locale name, thus causing the error. Hopefully a newer version of GTK/Gnome fixes this problem. - GTK 2: With this mapping the hit-enter prompt is _sometimes_ below the screen, at other times there is a grey area below the command line: :nmap <F11> :if &guioptions=~'m' \\| set guioptions-=m \\| else \\| set guioptions+=m \\| endif<cr> - GTK: When pasting a selection from Vim to xclipboard gvim crashes with a ABRT signal. Probably an error in the file gdkselection.c, the assert always fails when XmbTextListToTextProperty() fails. (Tom Allard) - GTK 2: gives an assertion error for every non-builtin icon in the toolbar. This is a GTK 2.4.x bug, fixed in GTK 2.4.2. (Thomas de Grenier de Latour) - When using an xterm that supports the termresponse feature, and the 't_Co' termcap option was wrong when Vim started, it will be corrected when the termresponse is received. Since the number of colors changes, the highlighting needs to be initialized again. This may cause colors defined in the vimrc file to be lost. - On Windows NT 4.0 the number of files passed to Vim with drag&drop and "Edit with Vim" is limited. The maximum command line length is 255 chars. --------------------- extensions and improvements ---------------------- extensions-improvements* Most interesting new features to be added when all bugs have been fixed: - Using ":exe edit fname" has escaping problems. Use ":edit ++(fname)". Thus use "++=" to give arguments as expressions, comma separated as if calling a function. With options: ":edit ++(['!', '++enc=abc'], ['+/pat'], fname)". Alternative: Make a function for Ex commands: cmd_edit(). - Add COLUMN NUMBERS to ":" commands ":line1,line2[col1,col2]cmd". Block can be selected with CTRL-V. Allow '$' (end of line) for col2. (issue #3292) - ECLIPSE plugin. Problem is: the interface is very complicated. Need to implement part in Java and then connect to Vim. Some hints from Alexandru Roman, 2004 Dec 15. Should then also work with Oracle Jdeveloper, see JSR 198 standard http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=198. Eclim does it: http://eclim.sourceforge.net/ (Eric Van Dewoestine) Plugin that uses a terminal emulator: http://vimplugin.sf.net And another one: http://www.satokar.com/viplugin/index.php - STICKY CURSOR: Add a way of scrolling that leaves the cursor where it is. Especially when using the scrollbar. Typing a cursor-movement command scrolls back to where the cursor is. - Scroll commands by screen line. g CTRL-E and g CTRL-Y ? Requires the first line to be able to start halfway. 8 Add a command to jump to a certain kind of tag. Allow the user to specify values for the optional fields. E.g., ":tag size type=m". Also allow specifying the file and command, so that the result of taglist() can be used. - X11: Make it possible to run Vim inside a window of another program. This can be done with XReparentWindow(). But how exactly? Documentation: 8 List of Vim runtime directories. dotvim.txt from Charles Campbell, 2007 Feb 20. 8 The GUI help should explain the Find and Find/Replace dialogs. Add a link to it from ":promptrepl" and ":promptfind". 8 List of options should mention whether environment variables are expanded or not. 8 Extend usr_27.txt a bit. (Adam Seyfarth) 9 Make the Reference Manual more precise. For each command mention: - change to cursor position and curswant - if it can be undone (u/CTRL-R) and redone (.) - how it works for folded lines - how it works with multibyte characters 8 Spread the windows commands over the other files. For example, ":stag" should be with ":tag". Cross-link with tags to avoid too much double text. 8 Add tags for all features, e.g. "gui_running". 7 MS-Windows: When a wrong command is typed with an ALT key, give a hint to look at the help for 'winaltkeys'. 7 Add a help.vim plugin that maps <Tab> to jump to the next tag in \|\| and <C-Tab> (and <S-Tab>) to the previous tag. Patch by Balazs Kezes, 2007 Dec 30. Remark from A. Politz. - Check text editor compendium for vi and Vim remarks. Help: - First try using the ":help" argument literally, before using it as a pattern. And then match it as part of a tag. - When a help item has multiple matches make it possible to use ":tn" to go to the other matches. - Support a way to view (and edit) .info files. - Implement a "sticky" help window, some help text lines that are always displayed in a window with fixed height. (Guckes) Use "~/.vimhelp" file, user can edit it to insert favorite commands, new account can contain a default contents. - Make 'winminheight' a local option, so that the user can set a minimal height for the help window (and other windows). - ":help :s^I" should expand to ":help :substitute". - Make the help key (<F1>) context sensitive? - Learn mode: show short help while typing commands. User Friendlier: 8 Windows install with install.exe: Use .exe instead of .bat files for links, so that command line arguments are passed on unmodified? (Walter Briscoe) 8 Windows install: Be able to associate Vim with a selection of file types? 8 Windows uninstall: Have uninstal.c delete the vimfiles directories that dosinst.c creates. List the contents of the directory (recursively) if the user asks for it. Requires an implementation of "rm -rf". 8 Remember the name of the vimrc file that was used (~/.vimrc, $VIM/_vimrc, $HOME/_vimrc, etc.) and add "edit vimrc" to the File menu. - Add a way to save local settings and mappings into a new plugin file. ":mkplugin <file>"? - Add mappings local to a window: ":map <window> ..."? 9 Add buffer-local menu. Should offer a choice between removing the menu or disabling it. Be careful that tear-offs don't disappear (keep one empty item?). Alternative: use BufEnter and BufLeave autocommands. 8 make a vimtutor script for Amiga and other systems. 7 When Vim detects a file is being edited elsewhere and it's a gvim session of the same user it should offer a "Raise" button, so that the other gvim window can be displayed. (Eduard) 8 Support saving and restoring session for X windows? It should work to do ":mksession" and use "-S fname" for the restart command. The gui_x11_wm_protocol_handler() already takes care of the rest. global_event_filter() for GTK. Tab pages: 9 GUI implementation for the tab pages line for other systems. 7 GUI: Control over the appearance of the text in the labels (bold, color, font, etc.) 8 Make GUI menu in tab pages line configurable. Like the popup menu. 8 balloons for the tab page labels that are shortened to show the full path. 7 :tabdup duplicate the tab with all its windows. 7 Option to put tab line at the left or right? Need an option to specify its width. It's like a separate window with ":tabs" output. 8 Add local options for each tab page? E.g., 'diffopt' could differ between tab pages. 7 Add local highlighting for each tab page? Spell checking: - Support more regions? Caolan McNamara argues it's needed for es_XX. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219777 - Unicode defines another quote character: 0x2019. Use it as an equivalent of a single quote, thus use it as a word character like a quote and match with words, replacing the curly quote with a single quote. - Could filter é things for HTML before doing spell checking. Similarly for TeX. - The Hungarian spell file uses four extra characters in the FOL/UPP/LOW items than other spell files with the ISO-8859-2 encoding, that causes problem when changing 'spelllang'. There is no obvious way to fix this. - Considering Hunspell 1.1.4: What does MAXNGRAMSUGS do? Is COMPLEXPREFIXES necessary when we have flags for affixes? - There is no Finnish spell checking file. For openoffice Voikko is now used, which is based on Malaga: http://home.arcor.de/bjoern-beutel/malaga/ (Teemu Likonen) 8 ":mkspell" still takes much too long in Hungarian dictionary from hunspell. Only solution appears to be to postpone secondary suffixes. 8 Handle postponed prefix with COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG or COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG. WFP_COMPPERMIT and WFP_COMPFORBID 8 implement use of <compoptions> in .spl file: implement CHECKCOMPOUNDREP: when a compound word seems to be OK apply REP items and check if the result is a valid word. implement CHECKCOMPOUNDDUP implement CHECKCOMPOUNDTRIPLE Add CHECKCOMPOUNDCASE: when compounding make leading capital lower case. How is it supposed to work? - Add a command the repeats ]s and z=, showing the misspelled word in its context. Thus to spell-check a whole file. - suggestion for "KG" to "kg" when it's keepcase. - For flags on affixes: Use a "AFFCOMPSET" flag; means the compound flags of the word are not used. - Support breakpoint character ? 0xb7 and ignore it? Makes it possible to use same wordlist for hyphenation. - Compound word is accepted if nr of words is <= COMPOUNDWORDMAX OR nr of syllables <= COMPOUNDSYLMAX. Specify using AND in the affix file? - NEEDCOMPOUND also used for affix? Or is this called ONLYINCOMPOUND now? Or is ONLYINCOMPOUND only for inside a compound, not at start or end? - Do we need a flag for the rule that when compounding is done the following word doesn't have a capital after a word character, even for Onecap words? - New hunspell home page: http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/ - Version 1.1.0 is out now, look into that. - Lots of code depends on LANG, that isn't right. Enable each mechanism in the affix file separately. - Example with compounding dash is bad, gets in the way of setting COMPOUNDMIN and COMPOUNDWORDMAX to a reasonable value. - PSEUDOROOT == NEEDAFFIX - COMPOUNDROOT -> COMPOUNDED? For a word that already is a compound word Or use COMPOUNDED2, COMPOUNDED3, etc. - CIRCUMFIX: when a word uses a prefix marked with the CIRCUMFIX flag, then the word must also have a suffix marked with the CIRCUMFIX flag. It's a bit primitive, since only one flag is used, which doesn't allow matching specific prefixes with suffixes. Alternative: PSFX {flag} {pchop} {padd} {pcond} {schop} {sadd}[/flags] {scond} We might not need this at all, you can use the NEEDAFFIX flag and the affix which is required. - When a suffix has more than one syllable, it may count as a word for COMPOUNDWORDMAX. - Add flags to count extra syllables in a word. SYLLABLEADD1 SYLLABLEADD2, etc.? Or make it possible to specify the syllable count of a word directly, e.g., after another slash: /abc/3 - MORPHO item in affix file: ignore TAB and morphological field after word/flags and affix. - Implement multiple flags for compound words and CMP item? Await comments from other spell checking authors. - Also see tklspell: http://tkltrans.sourceforge.net/ 8 Charles Campbell asks for method to add "contained" groups to existing syntax items (to add @Spell). Add ":syntax contains {pattern} add=@Spell" command? A bit like ":syn cluster" but change the contains list directly for matching syntax items. - References: MySpell library (in OpenOffice.org). http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/source.html http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/source/browse/whiteboard/lingucomponent/source/spellcheck/myspell/ author: Kevin Hendricks <kevin.hendricks@sympatico.ca> 8 It is currently not possible to mark "can not" as rare, because "can" and "not" are good words. Find a way to let "rare" overrule "good"? 8 Make "en-rare" spell file? Ask Charles Campbell. 8 The English dictionaries for different regions are not consistent in their use of words with a dash. 7 Insert mode completion mechanism that uses the spell word lists. 8 Add hl groups to 'spelllang'? :set spelllang=en_us,en-rare/SpellRare,en-math/SpellMath More complicated: Regions with different languages? E.g., comments in English, strings in German (po file). Diff mode: 9 When making small changes, e.g. deleting a character, update the diff. Possibly without running diff. 8 Also show difference with the file when editing started? Should show what can be undone. (Tom Popovich) Folding: (commands still available: zI zJ zK zp zP zq zQ zV zy zY; secondary: zB zS zT zZ, z=) 8 Vertical folds: looks like vertically split windows, but the cursor moves through the vertical separator, separator moves when scrolling. 8 Add "z/" and "z?" for searching in not folded text only. Or use a regexp item, so that it can be used in any pattern. 8 When a closed fold is displayed open because of 'foldminlines', the behavior of commands is still like the fold is closed. How to make the user aware of this? 8 Add an option 'foldskip' with values like 'foldopen' that specifies which commands skip over a closed fold. 8 "H" and "L" count buffer lines instead of window lines. (Servatius Brandt) 8 Add a way to add fold-plugins. Johannes Zellner has one for VB. 7 When using manual folding, the undo command should also restore folds. - Allow completely hiding a closed fold. E.g., by setting 'foldtext' to an empty string. Require showing a character in 'foldcolumn' to avoid the missing line goes unnoticed. How to implement this? - When pressing the down arrow of a scrollbar, a closed fold doesn't scroll until after a long time. How to make scrolling with closed folds smoother? - When creating a session, also store folds for buffers in the buffer list, using the wininfo in wi_folds. - When currently editing the first file in the argument list the session file can contain: args version.c main.c edit version.c Can editing version.c twice be avoided? - 'foldmethod' "textobject": fold on sections and paragraph text objects. - "zuf": undo change in manual fold. "zUf" redo change in manual fold. How to implement this? - "zJ" command: add the line or fold below the fold in the fold under the cursor. - 'foldmethod' "syntax": "fold=3" argument: set fold level for a region or match. - Apply a new foldlevel to a range of lines. (Steve Litt) Multi-byte characters: - When editing a file with both utf-8 and latin1 text Vim always falls back to latin1. Add a command to convert the latin1 characters to utf-8? :unmix utf-8,latin1 filename Would only work when 'encoding' is utf-8. 9 When the tail byte of a double-byte character is illegal (e.g., a CR), the display is messed up (Yasuhiro Matsumoto). Should check for illegal double-byte characters and display them differently (display each single byte). 9 'fenc' in modeline problem: add option to reload the file when 'fenc' is set to a different value in a modeline? Option can be default on. Could it be done with an autocommand? 8 Add an item in 'fileencodings' to check the first lines of a file for the encoding. See Python PEP: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html. To avoid getting a wrong encoding only accept something Emacs-like: "-- coding: enc-na_me.foo --" and "-- coding= enc-na_me.foo --" Match with "-\-\scoding[:=]\s$[::word::-_.]\+$\s-\-" and use first item. 8 Add an item in 'fileencodings' to check the first line of an XML file for the encoding. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Or "charset=UTF-8"? For HTML look for "charset=utf-8". 8 When a file was converted from 'fileencoding' to 'encoding', a tag search should also do this on the search pattern. (Andrzej M. Ostruszka) 8 When filtering changes the encoding 'fileencoding' may not work. E.g., when using xxd and 'fileencoding' is "utf-16". Add an option to set a different fileencoding for filter output? 7 When converting a file fails, mention which byte could not be converted, so that the user can fix the problem. 8 Add configure option to be able to disable using the iconv library. (Udo Schweigert) 9 'aleph' should be set to 1488 for Unicode. (Zvi Har'El) 8 Should add test for using various commands with multibyte characters. 8 'infercase' doesn't work with multibyte characters. 8 toupper() function doesn't handle byte count changes. 7 Searching and composing characters: When searching, should order of composing characters be ignored? Add a special item to match with a composing character, so that composing characters can be manipulated. 8 Should implement 'delcombine' for command line editing. 8 Detect overlong UTF-8 sequences and handle them like illegal bytes. 8 ":s/x/\u\1/" doesn't work, making uppercase isn't done for multibyte characters. 8 UTF-8: "r" in Visual mode doesn't take composing characters. 8 UTF-8: When there is a precomposed character in the font, use it instead of a character and a composing character. See xterm for an example. 7 When a character can't be displayed, display its digraph instead. 'display' option to specify this. 7 Use ideas for nl_langinfo() from Markus Kuhn in enc_default(): (www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/langinfo.c) - GTK and Win32: Allow selecting fonts for 'guifontset' with the fontselector somehow. - GTK and Win32: make it possible to set the font for the menu to make it possible to have 'encoding' different from the current locale. - dbcs_class() only works for Japanese and Korean. Implement this for other encodings. The "euc-jp" and "euc-kr" choices might be wrong. - Find some way to automatically select the right GUI font or fontset, depending on the default value of 'encoding'. Irrelevant in the GTK+ 2 GUI so long as UTF-8 is used. For Windows, the charset_pairs[] table could be used. But how do we know if a font exists? - Do keyboard conversion from 'termencoding' to 'encoding' with convert_input() for Mac GUI. - Add mnemonics from RFC1345 longer than two characters. Support CTRL-K _{mnemonic}_ - Make 'breakat' accept multibyte characters. Problem: can't use a lookup table anymore (breakat_flags[]). Simplistic solution: when 'formatoptions' contains "m" also break a line at a multibyte character >= 0x100. - Add the possibility to enter mappings which are used whenever normal text could be entered. E.g., for "f" command. But not in Normal mode. Sort of opposite of 'langmap'. Use ":amap" command? - When breaking a line, take properties of multibyte characters into account. The "linebreak" program from Bruno Haible can do it: ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/linebreak-0.1.tar.gz But it's very complicated... Printing: 7 Implement "undercurl" for printing. - Add "page width" to wrap long lines. - Win32: use a font dialog for setting 'printfont'. Can reuse the code for the 'guifont' dialog, put the common code in a separate function. - Add the file timestamp to the page header (with an option). (George Reilly) - Win32: when 'printfont' is empty use 'guifont'. - Unix: Use some dialog box to do the obvious settings (paper size, printer name, portrait/landscape, etc). - PostScript: Only works for text that can be converted to an 8-bit character set. How to support Unicode fully? - Allow specifying the paper size, instead of using a standard size. Same units as for the margins. - Support right-to-left text? 8 Make the foreground color darkening function preserve the hue of the color. Syntax highlighting: 8 Make ":syn off" use 'runtimepath' instead of $VIMRUNTIME. (Gary Johnson) Should do the same for ":syn on" and ":syn manual". 8 Support "containedin" argument for ":syn include", so that the defined cluster can be added to existing syntax items. 8 C syntax: Don't highlight {} as errors inside () when used like this: "({ something })", often used in GCC code. 7 Add a "startgroup" to a region. Used like "nextgroup" inside the region, preferred item at the start of the region. (Charles Campbell) 8 When editing a new file without a name and giving it a name (by writing it) and 'filetype' is not set, detect the filetype. Avoid doing it for ":wq file". 7 For "nextgroup" we have skipwhite, skipnl and skipempty. It would be really nice to be able to skip with a pattern. Or skip with a syntax group. (Nikolai Weibull, 2007 Feb 27) 8 Make conversion to HTML faster (Write it in C or pre-compile the script). 9 There is still a redraw bug somewhere. Probably because a cached state is used in a wrong way. I can't reproduce it... 7 Be able to change only the background highlighting. Useful for Diff and Search highlighting. 7 When 'number' is set highlight the number of the current line. Must be enabled with an option, because it slows down display updating. 8 Allow the user to add items to the Syntax menu sorted, without having to change this for each release. 8 Add a "matchcontains" for regions: items contained in the start or end pattern, but not in the body. 8 Add a "keepend-contained" argument: Don't change the end of an item this one is contained in. Like "keepend" but specified on the contained item, instead of the containing item. 8 cpp.vim: In C++ it's allowed to use {} inside (). 8 Some syntax files set 'iskeyword', they should use "syn iskeyword". Also need a separate 'iskeyword' for the command line, e.g., in a help window ":e /asdf/asdf/" CTRL-W works different. 8 Add specific syntax item to match with parens/braces that don't have a "%" match. :syntax nomatch cMatchError (,{,[,),},] [contained] 8 Highlight the text between two matching parens (e.g., with a grey background) when on one of the parens or in between them. Option for the matchparen plugin? 8 When using a cterm, and no ctermfg or ctermbg are defined, use start/stop sequences. Add remark in docs that :if 'term' == "term-name" should be used. 8 Add @spell cluster to String and Comment groups for many languages. Will allow spell checking. (Fleiner) 8 When listing syntax items, try to sort the keywords alphabetically. And re-insert the [] if possible. 8 Make it possible to use color of text for Visual highlight group (like for the Cursor). 8 It would be useful to make the highlight group name an expression. Then when there is a match, the expression would be evaluated to find out what highlight group to use. Could be used to check if the shell used in a password file appears in /etc/shells. (Nikolai Weibull) syn match =s:checkShell(v:match) contained 'pattern' 8 Make it possible to only highlight a sub-expression of a match. Like using "\1" in a ":s" command. 8 Support for deleting syntax items: :syn keyword cTodo remove this :syn match cTodo remove "pattern" :syn region cString remove start="this" end="that" 8 Add possibility to sync on something else, when the syncing in one way doesn't find match. For HTML: When no {script} is found, try looking for a '<'. (Fleiner) 7 Replace the synchronizing method with a state machine specification? Should be able to start at any line in the file, search forwards or backwards, and use the result of matching a pattern. 7 Use parsing like awk, so that e.g., a ( without a matching ) can be detected. 8 Make it possible to use "inverted" highlighting, invert the original character. For Visual mode. (xterm-selection already does this). 8 Highlight non-printable characters with "SpecialChar", linked to "Special". Display them with the digraph characters, if possible. 8 Highlight the clipboard-selection with a highlight group. 8 Be able to reset highlighting to its original (default) values. 7 Be able to write current highlighting to a file as commands, similar to ":mkvimrc". 8 Improve c.vim: - Add check for unterminated strings, with a variable to switch it on: "c_strict_ansi". - Detect unbalanced "#endif". Requires looking back a long way... 8 Add an option to restrict the updating of syntax highlighting to the current line while in Insert mode. 8 When guessing value of 'background', the syntax file has already been loaded (from the .gvimrc). After changing 'background', load it again? 8 Add ":syn resync" command, to re-parse the whole file until the current display position. 8 Should support "me" offset for a region start pattern. To be used to allow searching for the end pattern inside the match of the end pattern. Example: syn region pikeXX start="([^{]" end=")" should work on "()". 8 When using a regexp for "contains=", should delay matching with it until redrawing happens. Set a flag when a group is added, check this flag when highlighting starts. 7 It's possible for an item to be transparent, so that the colors of an item lower on the stack is used. Also do this with highlighting, so that the user can set transparent highlighting? E.g. a number in a C comment would get the color of a comment, a number in an assignment Normal. (Nikolai Weibull) 7 Add "semitrans": Add highlighting. E.g., make the text bold, but keep the colors. And add colors, so that Green+Red becomes Yellow. E.g. for this html: <B> bold text <I> italic+bold text </B> italic text </I> 7 CTRL-] checks the highlight group for finding out what the tag is. 7 Add an explanation how a list of words can be used to highlight misspelled words. 8 Add more command line completion for :syntax. 8 Add more command line completion for :highlight. 7 Should find a better way to parse the :syntax and :highlight commands. Use tables or lists that can be shared by parsing for execution and completion? 8 Add ColorSchemePost autocommand event, so that scripts can set up their highlighting. (Salman Halim) 7 Add a few sets of colors (e.g. Borland Turbo C one). With a menu to select one of the sets. 8 Add offsets to sub-matches: "$a$ "he=e1-1 'e' is end of match 'e1' is end of sub-match 1, 's2' is start of submatch 2, etc. 8 In Insert mode, when there are typeahead characters, postpone the highlighting (for "." command). 8 Syncing on comments isn't 100% correct when / / lines mix with / * and * /. For example: What about a line that starts with / / and contains * /? 8 Ignore / * and * / inside strings, when syncing. 7 Build a few more syntax files from the file "/usr/share/misc/vgrindefs": ISP, LDL, Icon, ratfor. And check "nedit/source/highlight.c". 6 Add possibility to have background color continue until the right edge of the window. Useful for comment blocks and function headings. (Rogall) - Make it possible to add "contains" items for all items in a group. Useful when extending an already existing syntax file. - Add line-continuation pattern for non-syncing items too? - Add possibility to highlight the whole line, including the right margin (for comment blocks). - Add 'hlmatch' option: List of flags: 'c': highlight match for character under the cursor. 'b': highlight the previous (, and its match. 'a': highlight all text from the previous ( until its match. Also for {}, <>, etc.? 'e': highlight all braces without a match (slow?) OR: add an argument "cursor" to the syntax command, which means that the region/match/keyword is only highlighted when the cursor is on it. (Campbell) Or do it like Elvis: define text objects and how to highlight them around the cursor. (Iain Truskett) 7 Make it possible to use all words in the tags files as Keyword. Can also be done with a script (but it's slow). 7 Make it possible to call a ":" command when a match is found. Should allow for adding keywords from the text (e.g. variables that are set). And allows for sections with different highlighting. 7 Add highlight group for commandline: "Commandline". Make sure it highlights the command line while typing a command, and any output from messages. And external commands? 8 Make a version that works like less, but with highlighting: read stdin for text, exit at end of file, don't allow editing, etc. moreim? lessim? 7 SpecialKey highlighting overrules syntax highlighting. Can't give an unprintable char another color. Would be useful for ^M at end of line. Vim script language: 8 Make the filename and line number available to script functions, so that they can give useful debugging info. The whole call stack would be ideal. At least use this for error messages. 7 Execute a function with standard option values. No need to save and restore option values. Especially useful for new options. Problem: how to avoid a performance penalty (esp. for string options)? - range for ":exec", pass it on to the executed command. (Webb) 8 ":{range}source": source the lines from the current file. You can already yank lines and use :@" to execute them. Most of do_source() would not be used, need a new function. It's easy when not doing breakpoints or profiling. Requires copying the lines into a list and then creating a function to execute lines from the list. Similar to getnextac(). 7 ":include" command: just like ":source" but doesn't start a new scriptID? Will be tricky for the list of script names. 8 Have a look at VSEL. Would it be useful to include? (Bigham) 8 Have a prefix for a function to make it unique. When using packages it can be the plugin name. Perhaps also have a way to remove everything that the package added? including autocommands. 7 Pre-parse or compile Vim scripts into a bytecode. 1. Put the bytecode with the original script, with an ":if has('bytecode')" around it, so that it's only used with a Vim that supports it. Update the code with a command, can be used in an autocommand. 2. Use a ".vic" file (like Python use .pyc). Create it when writing a .vim file. Problem: distribution. 3. Use a cache directory for each user. How to recognize which cached file belongs to a sourced script? 7 Add argument to winwidth() to subtract the space taken by 'foldcolumn', signs and/or 'number'. 6 Add ++ and -- operators? They only work on variables (lvals), how to implement this? 8 Add functions: has(":command") Check if ":command" works. compare function with "ex_ni". E.g. for ":simalt". escape() Add argument to specify what to escape with. modestack() Instead of just the current mode return the stack of Insert / CTRL-O / :normal things. realname() Get user name (first, last, full) user_fullname() patch by Nikolai Weibull, Nov 3 2002 Only add this when also implemented for non-Unix systems, otherwise a shell cmd could be used. get_user_name() gets login name. menuprop({name}, {idx}, {what}) Get menu property of menu {name} item {idx}. menuprop("", 1, "name") returns "File". menuprop("File", 1, "n") returns "nmenu File.Open..." argument. Patch by Ilya Sher, 2004 Apr 22 Return a list of menus and/or a dictionary with properties instead. mapname({idx}, mode) return the name of the idx'th mapping. Patch by Ilya Sher, 2004 Mar 4. Return a list instead. char2hex() convert char string to hex string. crypt() encrypt string decrypt() decrypt string base64enc() base 64 encoding base64dec() base 64 decoding attributes() return file protection flags "drwxrwxrwx" filecopy(from, to) Copy a file shorten(fname) shorten a file name, like home_replace() perl(cmd) call Perl and return string inputrl() like input() but right-to-left typed() return the characters typed and consumed (to find out what happened) virtualmode() add argument to obtain whether "$" was used in Visual block mode. getacp() Win32: get codepage (Glenn Maynard) libcall() Allow more than one argument. libcallext() Like libcall(), but using a callback function to allow the library to execute a command or evaluate an expression. 7 Make bufname("'0") return the buffer name from mark '0. How to get the column and line number? col("'0") currently returns zero. 8 argc() returns 0 when using "vim -t tag". How to detect that no file was specified in any way? To be able to jump to the last edited file. 8 Pass the command line arguments to Vim scripts in some way. As v:args List? Or extra parameter to argv()? 8 Add command arguments with three dashes, passed on to Vim scripts. 6 User functions: Functions local to buffer "b:func()"? 8 For Strings add ":let var[{expr}] = {expr}". When past the end of "var" just ignore. 8 The "= register should be writable, if followed by the name of a variable, option or environment variable. 8 ":let &option" should list the value of the option. 8 ":let Func().foo = value" should work, also when "foo" doesn't exist. Also: ":let Func()[foo] = value" should work. Same for a List. 7 Add synIDlist(), making the whole list of syntax items on the syntax stack available as a List. 8 Add autocommand-event for when a variable is changed: :au VarChanged {varname} {commands} 8 Add "has("gui_capable")", to check if the GUI can be started. 8 Add possibility to use variables like registers: characterwise (default), linewise (when ending in '\n'), blockwise (when ending in '\001'). reg0, rega, reg%, etc. Add functions linewise({expr}), blockwise({expr}) and charwise({expr}). 7 Make it possible to do any command on a string variable (make a buffer with one line, containing the string). Maybe add an (invisible) scratch buffer for this? result = scratch(string, command) result = apply(string, command) result = execute(string, command) "command" would use <> notation. Does scratch buffer have a number? Or re-use same number? 7 Add function to generate unique number (date in milliseconds). Robustness: 6 Add file locking. Lock a file when starting to edit it with flock() or fcntl(). This patch has advisory file locking while reading/writing the file for Vim 5.4: ~/vim/patches/kahn_file_locking . The patch is incomplete (needs support for more systems, autoconf). Andy doesn't have time to work on it. Disadvantage: Need to find ways to gracefully handle failure to obtain a lock. When to release a lock: When buffer is unloaded? Performance: 7 For string variables up to 3 bytes don't allocate memory, use v_list itself as a character array. Use VAR_SSTRING (short string). 7 Add 'lazysize' option: Above this size Vim doesn't load everything before starting to edit a file. Things like 'fileencodings' only work up to this size, modelines only work at the top. Useful for large log files where you only want to look at the first few pages. Use zero to disable it. 8 move_lines() copies every line into allocated memory, making reloading a buffer a lot slower than re-editing the file. Can the memline be locked so that we don't need to make a copy? Or avoid invoking ml_updatechunk(), that is taking a lot of time. (Ralf Wildenhues, 2008 Jul 7) With a patch, but does it work? 8 Turn b_syn_ic and b_syn_containedin into b_syn_flags. 9 Loading menu.vim still takes quite a bit of time. How to make it faster? 8 in_id_list() takes much time for syntax highlighting. Cache the result? 7 setpcmark() shifts the jumplist, this takes quite a bit of time when jumping around. Instead use an index for the start? 8 When displaying a space with only foreground highlighting, it's the same as a space without attributes. Avoid displaying spaces for the "~" lines when starting up in a color terminal. 8 Avoid alloc() for scratch buffer use, esp. in syntax.c. It's very slow on Win16. 8 Profiling shows that in_id_list() is used very often for C code. Can this function be improved? 8 For an existing file, the page size of the swap file is always the default, instead of using the block size of the device, because the swap file is created only after setting the block size in mf_open(). How can this be improved? 8 Set default for 'ttyscroll' to half a screen height? Should speed up MS-DOS version. (Negri) 7 C syntax highlighting gets a lot slower after ":set foldmethod=syntax". (Charles Campbell) Inserting a "{" is very slow. (dman) 7 HTML syntax highlighting is slow for long lines. Try displaying http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/22908.html. (Andre Pang) 7 Check how performance of loading the wordlist can be improved (adding a lot of abbreviations). 7 Compile Ex commands to byte codes. Store byte codes in a vim script file at the end, after "compiled:. Make it look like a single comment line for old Vim versions. Insert first line "Vim script compiled <timestamp>. Only used compiled code when timestamp matches the file stat. Add command to compile a vim script and add it to the file in-place. Split Ex command executing into a parsing and executing phase. Use compiled code for functions, while loops, etc. 8 When defining autocommands (e.g., from $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim), need to compare each pattern with all existing patterns. Use a hash code to avoid using strcmp() too often? 7 Include turbo_loader patches, speeding up reading a file? Speed up reading a file by reading it into a fixed-size buffer, creating the list of indexes in another buffer, and then copying the result into a memfile block with two copies. Then read the next block into another fixed-size buffer, create the second list of indexes and copy text from the two blocks to the memfile block. 7 do_cmdline(): Avoid that the command line is copied to allocated memory and freed again later all the time. For while loops, and for when called with an argument that can be messed with. Generic solution: Make a struct that contains a pointer and a flag that indicates if the pointer should be freed when replaced. 7 Check that the file size is not more than "sizeof(long)". - Further improve finding mappings in maphash[] in vgetorpeek() 8 Syntax highlighting is slow when deleting lines. Try in $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim. - "out of memory" after deleting (1,$d) and changing (:%s/^/> /) a lot of lines (27000) a few times. Memory fragmentation? - Have a look at how pdksh does memory allocation (alloc.c). (Dalecki) - Do profiling on: - :g/pat/normal cmd - deleting 10Mbyte worth of lines (netscape binary) - "[i" and "[d" (Yegappan Lakshmanan) - ":g/^/m0" on a 450Kbyte file. And the "u". - highlighting "~/vim/test/longline.tex", "~/vim/test/scwoop.tcl" and "~/vim/test/lockup.pl". - loading a syntax file to highlight all words not from a dictionary. - editing a Vim script with syntax highlighting on (loading vim.vim). 7 Screen updating can be further improved by only redrawing lines that were changed (and lines after them, when syntax highlighting was used, and it changed). - On each change, remember start and end of the change. - When inserting/deleting lines, remember begin, end, and line count. - Use macros/duarte/capicua for profiling. Nvi 1.71 is the fastest! - When using a file with one long line (1Mbyte), then do "$hhhh", is still very slow. Avoid calling getvcol() for each "h"? - Executing a register, e.g. "10000@@" is slow, because ins_typebuf has to move the previous commands forward each time. Pass count from normal_cmd() down to do_execreg(). - Avoid calls to plines() for cursor line, use w_cline_height. - After ":set nowrap" remove superfluous redraw with wrong hor. offset if cursor is right of the screen. 8 Make CTRL-C on Unix generate a signal, avoid using select() to check for a CTRL-C (it's slow). Code size: 8 GUI: When NO_CONSOLE is defined, more code can be excluded. - Put getline() and cookie in a struct, so only one argument has to be passed to do_cmdline() and other functions. 8 Make a GUI-only version for Unix? 8 In buf_write _() isn't needed when setting errmsg, do it once when using it. 7 When compiling with a GUI-only version, the code for cterm colors can be left out. 8 When compiled with a GUI-only version, the termcap entries for terminals can be removed. 8 Can the check for libelf in configure.ac be removed? Messages: 8 When using ":q" in a changed file, the error says to "add !". Add the command so that beginners understand it: "use :q!". 8 For 'verbose' level 12 prints commands from source'ed files. How to skip lines that aren't executed? Perhaps move the echoing to do_cmdline()? 8 Use 'report' for ":bdel"? (Krishna) To avoid these messages when using a script. - Delete message after new command has been entered and have waited for key. Perhaps after ten seconds? - Make message history available in "msg" variables: msg1, msg2, .. msg9. 9 Check handling of overwriting of messages and delays: Very wrong: errors while redrawing cause endless loop. When switching to another file and screen scrolls because of the long message and return must be typed, don't scroll the screen back before redrawing. 8 When address range is wrong you only get "Invalid range". Be a bit more specific: Negative, beyond last line, reverse range? Include the text. 8 Make it possible to ignore errors for a moment ('errorignore'?). Another option to switch off giving error messages ('errorquiet'?). Also an option not to give any messages ('quiet')? Or ":quiet on", ":quiet off". Careful: For a severe error (out of memory), and when the user starts typing, error messages must be switched back on. Also a flag to ignore error messages for shell commands (for mappings). - Option to set time for emsg() sleep. Interrupt sleep when key is typed? Sleep before second message? 8 In Ex silent mode or when reading commands from a file, what exactly is not printed and what is? Check ":print", ":set all", ":args", ":vers", etc. At least there should be no prompt. (Smulders) And don't clear the screen when reading commands from stdin. (Kendall) --> Make a difference between informative messages, prompts, etc. and error messages, printing text, etc. 8 Window should be redrawn when resizing at the hit-enter prompt. Also at the ":tselect" prompt. Find a generic solution for redrawing when a prompt is present (with a callback function?). Screen updating: - screen_line(): - insert/delete character stuff. - improve delete rest of line (spaces at end of line). - When moving or resizing window, try to avoid a complete redraw (esp. when dragging the status line with the mouse). - When 'lazyredraw' set, don't echo :ex commands? Need a flag to redraw when waiting for a character. 8 Add a ":refresh [winnr]" command, to force updating a window. Useful from an event handler where ":normal" can't be used. Also useful when 'lazyredraw' is set in a mapping. Scrolling: 8 Add "zy" command: scroll horizontally to put the cursor in the middle. 6 Add option to set the overlap for CTRL-F and CTRL-B. (Garhi) - extend 'scrollbind' option: 'scrollopt' words "search", "relative", etc.. Also 'e'xecute some commands (search, vertical movements) in all bound windows. 7 Add 'scrollbind' feature to make the offset of one window with the next one equal to the window height. When editing one file in both windows it looks like each window displays a page of the buffer. - Allow scrolling by dragging with the mouse (grab a character and move it up/down). Like the "hand" in Acrobat reader. Use Alt-LeftMouse for this? (Goldfarb) - Add command to execute some commands (search, vertical movements) in all bound windows. - Add 'search' option to 'scrollopt' to allow 'scrollbind' windows to be bound by regexp searches - Add "z>" and "z<": scroll sideways one screenful. (Campbell) - Add option to set the number of lines when not to scroll, instead of the fixed number used now (for terminals that scroll slow with a large number of lines but not with a single line). Autoconf: 8 Should use acconfig.h to define prototypes that are used by autoheader. 8 Some compilers don't give an error for "-OPT:Olimit" but a warning. (Webb) Add a check for the warning, so that "Olimit" can be added automatically? - Autoconf: Use @datadir@ for the system independent files. Make sure the system dependent and system independent files are separated. (Leitner). - Add autoconf check for waitpid()/wait4(). - Remove fcntl() from autoconf, all systems have it? - Set default for 'dictionary', add search for dictionary to autoconf. Perl interface: 8 Rename typemap file to something else? 7 Make buffers accessed as Perl arrays. (Clark) 7 Make it possible to compile with non-ANSI C? 6 Tcl/Tk has the "load" command: load a shared library (.so or .dll). Shared libraries: 8 libcall() can keep the library around instead of always calling dlclose(). (Jason Felice, 2018 Mar 20) 6 Add support for loading shared libraries, and calling functions in it. :libload internal-name libname :libunload internal-name :liblist :libcall internal-name function(arg1, arg2, ...) :libcall function(arg1, arg2, ...) libcall() can have only one integer or String argument at the moment. 6 Have a look on how Perl handles loading dynamic libraries. Tags: 9 With ":set tags=./tags,../tags" and a tag appears in both tags files it is added twice. Requires figuring out the actual file name for each found match. Remove tag_fname from the match and combine it with the fname in the match (without expanding or other things that take time). When 'tagrelative' is off tag_fname isn't needed at all. 8 For 'tags' wildcard in the file name is not supported, only in the path. This is due to it using \|file-searching\|. Suboptimal solution would be to make the filename or the whole option use \|wildcards\| globing, better would be to merge the 2 kinds of globing. originally (Erik Falor, 2008 April 18), updated (Ian Kelling, 2008 July 4) 7 Can CTRL-] (jump to tag) include a following "." and "->" to restrict the number of possible matches? Check tags file for an item that has members. (Flemming Madsen) 8 Scope arguments for ":tag", e.g.: ":tag class:cPage open", like Elvis. 8 When output of ":tselect" is long, getting the more-prompt, should be able to type the tag number directly. 7 Add the possibility to use the "-t {tag}" argument multiple times. Open a window for each tag. 7 Make output of ":tselect" a bit nicer. Use highlighting? 7 Highlight the "tag 1 of >2" message. New highlight group, or same as "hit bottom" search message. 7 When using ":tag" at the top of the tag stack, should add another entry, so CTRL-T can bring you back to where you are now AND to where you were before the previous ":tag" command. (Webb) - When doing "[^I" or "[^D" add position to tag stack. - Add command to put current position to tag stack: ":tpush". - Add functions to save and restore the tag stack? Or a command to switch to another tag stack? So that you can do something else and come back to what you were working on. 7 When using CTRL-] on someClass::someMethod, separate class from method and use ":ta class:someClass someMethod". Include C++ tags changes (Bertin). Change "class::func" tag into "func" with "class=class"? Docs in oldmail/bertin/in.xxx. 7 Add ":tagargs", to set values for fields: :tagargs class:someclass file:version.c :tagargs clear These are then the default values (changes the order of priority in tag matching). 7 Support for "gtags" and "global"? With ":rtag" command? There is an example for how to do this in Nvi. Or do it like Elvis: 'tagprg' and 'tagprgonce' options. (Yamaguchi) The Elvis method is far more flexible, do it that way. 7 Support "col:99" extra field, to position the cursor in that column. With a flag in 'cpoptions' to switch it off again. 7 Better support for jumping to where a function or variable is used. Use the id-utils, with a connection to "gid" (Emacs can do it too). Add ":idselect", which uses an "ID" database (made by "mkid") like "tselect". Win32 GUI: 8 Make debug mode work while starting up (vim -D). Open console window for the message and input? 7 GvimExt: when there are several existing Vims, move the list to a submenu. (Mike McCollister) 8 When using "Edit with Vim" for one file it changes directory, when several files are selected and using "Edit with single Vim" the directory isn't changed. At least change directory when the path is the same for all files. Perhaps just use the path of the first file or use the longest common part of the path. 8 Add font argument to set the lfCharSet. (Bobcik) 8 Somehow automatically detect the system language and set $LANG, so that gettext and menus work. 8 Could keep console open to run multiple commands, to avoid the need to hit return in every console. Also: Look at how Emacs does run external commands: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html. 8 Need a separate PopUp menu for modeless selection. Need two new commands: Copy selection to clipboard, Paste selection (as typed text). 8 Support copy/paste for other file formats. At least HTML, perhaps RTF. Add "copy special" and "paste special" commands? 7 Use different default colors, to match the current Windows color scheme. Sys_WindowText, Sys_Window, etc. (Lionel Schaffhauser) 7 Use <C-Tab> to cycle through open windows (e.g., the find dialog). 7 <Esc> should close a dialog. 7 Keep the console for external commands open. Don't wait for a key to be hit. Re-open it when the user has closed it anyway. Or use a prepended command: ":nowait {cmd}", or ":quiet", which executes {cmd} without any prompts. 7 Should be able to set an option so that when you double click a file that is associated with Vim, you can either get a new instance of Vim, or have the file added into an already running Vim. 7 The "-P" argument only works for the current codepage. Use wide functions to find the window title. GUI: 7 Implement ":popup" for other systems than Windows. 8 Implement ":tearoff" for other systems than Win32 GUI. 6 Implement ":untearoff": hide a torn-off menu. 8 When using the scrollbar to scroll, don't move the cursor position. When moving the cursor: scroll to the cursor position. 9 Make <S-Insert> paste from the clipboard by default. (Kunze) 7 Menu local to a buffer, like mappings. Or local to a filetype? 8 In Buffers menu, add a choice whether selecting a buffer opens it in the current window, splits the window or uses ":hide". 8 Dragging the mouse pointer outside of a Vim Window should make the text scroll. Return a value from gui_send_mouse_event() to the machine specific code to indicate the time in which the event should be repeated. 8 Make it possible to ignore a mouse click when it's used to give Vim (gvim) window focus. Also when a mouse click is used to bring a window to front. 8 Make the split into system independent code and system specific code more explicit. There are too many #ifdefs in gui.c. If possible, separate the Vim code completely from the GUI code, to allow running them in separate processes. 7 X11: Support cursorColor resource and "-cr" argument. 8 X11 (and others): CTRL-; is not different from ';'. Set the modifier mask to include CTRL for keys where CTRL produces the same ASCII code. 7 Add some code to handle proportional fonts on more systems? Need to draw each character separately (like xterm). Also for when a double-width font is not exactly double-width. (Maeda) 8 Should take font from xterm where gvim was started (if no other default). 8 Selecting font names in X11 is difficult, make a script or something to select one. 8 Visual highlighting should keep the same font (bold, italic, etc.). 8 Add flag to 'guioptions' to not put anything in the clipboard at all? 8 Should support a way to use keys that we don't recognize yet. Add a command that adds entries to special_keys somehow. How do we make this portable (X11, Win32, ..)? 7 Add a flag to 'guioptions' that tells not to remove inactive menu items. For systems where greying-out or removing menu items is very slow. The menu items would remain visibly normally, but not do anything. 7 Add ":minimize" and ":maximize", which iconize the window and back. Useful when using gvim to run a script (e.g. 2html.vim). 7 X11: Is it possible to free allocated colors, so that other programs can use them again? Otherwise, allow disabling allocating the default colors. Or allocate an own colormap (check UAE). With an option to use it. For the commandline, "-install" is mostly used for X11 programs. 7 Should support multi-column menus. - Should add option for where to put the "Help" menu: like Motif at the far right, or with the other menus (but still at the right). - Add menu item to "Keep Insert mode". 8 ":mkgvimrc" command, that includes menus. 6 Big change: Move GUI to separate program "vimgui", to make startup of vim a lot faster, but still be able to do "vim -g" or ":gui". 7 More explicit mouse button binding instead of 'mousemodel'? 7 Add option to set the position of the window on the screen. 'windowpos', which has a value of "123,456": <x>,<y>. Or add a command, like ":winsize"? 7 Add toolbar for more GUIs. 8 Make it possible to use "amenu icon=BuiltIn##", so that the toolbar item name can be chosen free. 7 Make it possible to put the toolbar on top, left, right and/or bottom of the window? Allows for softkey-like use. 6 Separate the part of Vim that does the editing from the part that runs the GUI. Communicate through a pseudo-tty. Vim starts up, creates a pty that is connected to the terminal. When the GUI starts, the pty is reconnected to the GUI process. When the GUI stops, it is connected to the terminal again. Also use the pty for external processes, it looks like a vt100 terminal to them. Vim uses extra commands to communicate GUI things. 7 Motif: For a confirm() dialog <Enter> should be ignored when no default button selected, <Esc> should close the dialog. 7 When using a pseudo-tty Vim should behave like some terminal (vt52 looks simple enough). Terminal codes to/from shell should be translated. - Would it be useful to be able to quit the GUI and go back to the terminal where it was started from? 7 Support "-visual <type>" command line argument. Autocommands: 9 Rework the code from FEAT_OSFILETYPE for autocmd-osfiletypes to use 'filetype'. Only for when the current buffer is known. - Put autocommand event names in a hashtable for faster lookup? 8 When the SwapExists event is triggered, provide information about the swap file, e.g., whether the process is running, file was modified, etc. Must be possible to check the situation that it's probably OK to delete the swap file. (Marc Merlin) 8 When all the patterns for an event are "" there is no need to expand buffer names to a full path. This can be slow for NFS. 7 For autocommand events that trigger multiple times per buffer (e.g., CursorHold), go through the list once and cache the result for a specific buffer. Invalidate the cache when adding/deleting autocommands or changing the buffer name. 7 Add TagJump event: do something after jumping to a tag. 8 Add "TagJumpFile" autocommand: When jumping to another file for a tag. Can be used to open "main.c.gz" when "main.c" isn't found. 8 Use another option than 'updatetime' for the CursorHold event. The two things are unrelated for the user (but the implementation is more difficult). 7 Add autocommand event for when a buffer cannot be abandoned. So that the user can define the action taking (autowrite, dialog, fail) based on the kind of file. (Yakov Lerner) Or is BufLeave sufficient? 8 Autocommand for when modified files have been found, when getting input focus again (e.g., FileChangedFocus). Check when: getting focus, jumping to another buffer, ... 8 Autocommands should not change registers. And marks? And the jumplist? And anything else? Add a command to save and restore these things. 8 Add autocommands, user functions and user commands to ":mkvimrc". 6 Add KeymapChanged event, so that the effects of a different keymap can be handled (e.g., other font) (Ron Aaron) 7 When trying to open a directory, trigger an OpenDirectory event. 7 Add file type in front of file pattern: <d> for directory, <l> for link, <x> for executable, etc. With commas to separate alternatives. The autocommand is only executed when both the file type AND the file pattern match. (Leonard) 5 Add option that specifies extensions which are to be discarded from the file name. E.g. 'ausuffix', with ".gz,.orig". Such that file.c.gz will trigger the ".c" autocommands. (Belabas) 7 Add something to break the autocommands for the current event, and for what follows. Useful for a "BufWritePre" that wants to avoid writing the file. 8 When editing "tt.gz", which is in DOS format, 'fileformat' stays at "unix", thus writing the file changes it. Somehow detect that the read command used dos fileformat. Same for 'fileencoding'. - Add events to autocommands: Error - When an error happens ModeChange - after changing mode (before waiting for a char) VimLeaveCheck - Before Vim decides to exit, so that it can be cancelled when exiting isn't a good idea. CursorHoldC - CursorHold while command-line editing WinMoved - when windows have been moved around, e.g, ":wincmd J" SearchPost - After doing a search command (e.g. to do "M") PreDirChanged/PostDirChanged - Before/after ":cd" has been used (for changing the window title) ShutDown - when the system is about to shut down InsertCharPost - user typed a character in Insert mode, after inserting the char. BufModified - When a buffer becomes modified, or unmodified (for putting a [+] in the window title or checking out the file from CVS). BufFirstChange - When making a change, when 'modified' is set. Can be used to do a :preserve for remote files. BufChange - after a change was made. Set some variables to indicate the position and number of inserted/deleted lines, so that marks can be updated. HierAssist has patch to add BufChangePre, BufChangePost and RevertBuf. (Shah) ViewChanged - triggered when the text scrolls and when the window size changes. WinResized - After a window has been resized WinClose - Just before closing a window - Write the file now and then ('autosave'): 'autosave' 'as' 'noautosave' 'noas' 'autosave' 'as' number (default 0) Automatically write the current buffer to file N seconds after the last change has been made and when \|'modified'\| is still set. Default: 0 = do not autosave the buffer. Alternative: have 'autosave' use 'updatetime' and 'updatecount' but make them save the file itself besides the swapfile. Omni completion: - Add a flag to 'complete' to be able to do omni completion with CTRL-N (and mix it with other kinds of completion). - Ideas from the Vim 7 BOF at SANE: - For interpreted languages, use the interpreter to obtain information. Should work for Java (Eclipse does this), Python, Tcl, etc. Richard Emberson mentioned working on an interface to Java. - Check Readline for its completion interface. - Ideas from others: http://www.wholetomato.com/ http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=747 http://sourceforge.net/projects/insenvim or http://insenvim.sourceforge.net Java, XML, HTML, C++, JSP, SQL, C# MS-Windows only, lots of dependencies (e.g. Perl, Internet explorer), uses .dll shared libraries. For C++ uses $INCLUDE environment var. Uses Perl for C++. Uses ctags to find the info: ctags -f $allTagsFile --fields=+aiKmnsSz --language-force=C++ --C++-kinds=+cefgmnpsut-dlux -u $files www.vim.org script 1213 (Java Development Environment) (Fuchuan Wang) IComplete: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1265 and http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0125672/icomplete/ http://cedet.sourceforge.net/intellisense.shtml (for Emacs) Ivan Villanueva has something for Java. Emacs: http://www.xref-tech.com/xrefactory/more_c_completion.html Completion in .NET framework SharpDevelop: http://www.icsharpcode.net - Pre-expand abbreviations, show which abbrevs would match? Insert mode completion/expansion: - Is it possible to keep the complete menu open when calling complete()? (Prabir Shrestha, 2017 May 19, #1713) - When 'completeopt' has "noselect" does not insert a newline. (Lifepillar, 2017 Apr 23, #1653) - Can 'completeopt' be made buffer-local? (#5487) - When complete() first argument is before where insert started and 'backspace' is Vi compatible, the completion fails. (Hirohito Higashi, 2015 Feb 19) - The CompleteDone autocommand needs some info passed to it: - The word that was selected (empty if abandoned complete) - Type of completion: tag, omnifunc, user func. - When a:base in 'completefunc' starts with a number it's passed as a number, not a string. (Sean Ma) Need to add flag to call_func_retlist() to force a string value. - When editing the text and pressing CTRL-N again goes back to originally completed text, edited text is gone. (Peng Yu, 2008 Jul 24) Suggestion by Ben Schmidt, 2008 Aug 6. - GUI implementation of the popup menu. 7 When searching in other files the name flash by, too fast to read. Only display a name every second or so, like with ":vimgrep". 7 When expanding file names with an environment variable, add the match with the unexpanded var. So $HOME/tm expands to "/home/guy/tmp" and "$HOME/tmp" 8 When there is no word before the cursor but something like "sys." complete with "sys.". Works well for C and similar languages. 9 ^X^L completion doesn't repeat correctly. It uses the first match with the last added line, instead of continuing where the last match ended. (Webb) 8 Add option to set different behavior for Insert mode completion: - ignore/match case - different characters than 'iskeyword' 8 Add option 'isexpand', containing characters when doing expansion (so that "." and "\" can be included, without changing 'iskeyword'). (Goldfarb) Also: 'istagword': characters used for CTRL-]. When 'isexpand' or 'istagword' are empty, use 'iskeyword'. Alternative: Use a pattern so that start and end of a keyword can be defined, only allow dash in the middle, etc. 8 Add a command to undo the completion, go back to the original text. 7 Completion of an abbreviation: Can leave letters out, like what Instant text does: www.textware.com 8 Use the class information in the tags file to do context-sensitive completion. After "foo." complete all member functions/variables of "foo". Need to search backwards for the class definition of foo. Should work for C++ and Java. Even more context would be nice: "import java.^N" -> "io", "lang", etc. 7 When expanding $HOME/dir with ^X^F keep the $HOME (with an option?). 7 Add CTRL-X command in Insert mode like CTRL-X CTRL-N, that completes WORDS instead of words. 8 Add CTRL-X CTRL-R: complete words from register contents. 8 Add completion of previously inserted texts (like what CTRL-A does). Requires remembering a number of insertions. 8 Add 'f' flag to 'complete': Expand file names. Also apply 'complete' to whole line completion. - Add a flag to 'complete' to only scan local header files, not system header files. (Andri Moell) - Make it possible to search include files in several places. Use the 'path' option? Can this be done with the dictionary completion (use wildcards in the file name)? - Make CTRL-X CTRL-K do a binary search in the dictionary (if it's sorted). - Speed up CTRL-X CTRL-K dictionary searching (don't use a regexp?). - Set a mark at the position where the match was found (file mark, could be in another file). - Add CTRL-A command in CTRL-X mode: show all matches. - Make CTRL-X CTRL-L use the 'complete' option? - Add command in CTRL-X mode to add following words to the completed string (e.g. to complete "Pointer->element" with CTRL-X CTRL-P CTRL-W CTRL-W) - CTRL-X CTRL-F: Use 'path' to find completions. - CTRL-X CTRL-F: Option to use forward slashes on MS-Windows? - CTRL-X CTRL-F: Don't replace "$VIM" with the actual value. (Kelly) - Allow listing all matches in some way (and picking one from the list). Command line editing: 7 Add commands (keys) to delete from the cursor to the end of the command line. 8 Custom completion of user commands can't use the standard completion functions. Add a hook to invoke a user function that returns the type of completion to be done: "file", "tag", "custom", etc. - Add flags to 'whichwrap' for command line editing (cursor right at end of lines wraps to start of line). - Make editing the command line work like Insert mode in a single-line view on a buffer that contains the command line history. But this has many disadvantages, only implement it when these can be solved. Elvis has run into these, see remarks from Steve (~/Mail/oldmail/kirkendall/in.00012). - Going back in history and editing a line there would change the history. Would still need to keep a copy of the history elsewhere. Like the cmdwin does now already. - Use CTRL-O to execute one Normal mode command. How to switch to normal mode for more commands? <Esc> should cancel the command line. CTRL-T? - To allow "/" and "= need to recursively call getcmdline(), overwrite the cmdline. But then we are editing a command-line again. How to avoid that the user gets confused by the stack of command lines? - Use edit() for normal cmdline editing? Would have to integrate getcmdline() into edit(). Need to solve conflicts between Insert mode and Command-line mode commands. Make it work like Korn shell and tcsh. Problems: - Insert: completion with 'wildchar' - Insert: use cmdline abbreviations - Insert: CTRL-D deletes indent instead of listing matches - Normal: no CTRL-W commands - Normal: no ":" commands? - Normal: allow Visual mode only within one line. - where to show insert/normal mode message? Change highlighting of character in first column? - Implementation ideas: - Set "curwin" and "curbuf" to the command line window and buffer. - curwin->w_topline is always equal to curwin->w_cursor.lnum. - never set 'number', no folding, etc. No status line. - sync undo after entering a command line? - use NV_NOCL flag for commands that are not allowed in Command-line Mode. Command line completion: - Feature request: Complete members of a dictionary. (Luc Hermitte, 2017 Jan 4, #1350) - Completion of ":e" is ":earlier", should be ":edit". Complete to the matching command instead of doing this alphabetically. (Mikel Jorgensen) 8 Change expand_interactively into a flag that is passed as an argument. 8 With command line completion after '%' and '#', expand current/alternate file name, so it can be edited. Also with modifiers, such as "%:h". 8 When completing command names, either sort them on the long name, or list them with the optional part inside []. 8 Add an option to ignore case when doing interactive completion. So that ":e file<Tab>" also lists "Filelist" (sorted after matching case matches). 7 Completion of ":map x ": fill in the current mapping, so that it can be edited. (Sven Guckes) - For 'wildmenu': Simplify "../bar" when possible. - When using <Up> in wildmenu mode for a submenu, should go back to the current menu, not the first one. E.g., ":emenu File.Save<Up>". 8 When using backtick expansion, the external command may write a greeting message. Add an option or commands to remove lines that match a regexp? 7 When listing matches of files, display the common path separately from the file names, if this makes the listing shorter. (Webb) - Add command line completion for ":ilist" and friends, show matching identifiers (Webb). 8 Add command line completion for "old value" of a command. ":args <key>" would result in the current list of arguments, which you can then edit. 7 Add command line completion with CTRL-X, just like Insert mode completion. Useful for ":s/word/xx/". - Add command to go back to the text as it was before completion started. Also to be used for <Up> in the command line. - Add 'wildlongest' option: Key to use to find longest common match for command line completion (default CTRL-L), like 'wildchar'. (Cregut) Also: when there are several matches, show them line a CTRL-D. Command line history: - Add "KeyWasTyped" flag: It's reset before each command and set when a character from the keyboard is consumed. Value is used to decide to put a command line in history or not. Put line in history if it didn't completely result from one mapping. - When using ":browse", also put the resulting edit command in the history, so that it can be repeated. (Demirel) Insert mode: 9 When 'autoindent' is set, hitting <CR> twice, while there is text after the cursor, doesn't delete the autoindent in the resulting blank line. (Rich Wales) This is Vi compatible, but it looks like a bug. 8 When using CTRL-O in Insert mode, then executing an insert command "a" or "i", should we return to Insert mode after <Esc>? (Eggink) Perhaps it can be allowed a single time, to be able to do "<C-O>10axyz<Esc>". Nesting this further is confusing. ":map <F2> 5aabc<Esc>" works only once from Insert mode. 8 When using CTRL-G CTRL-O do like CTRL-\ CTRL-O, but when returning with the cursor in the same position and the text didn't change continue the same change, so that "." repeats the whole insert. 7 Use CTRL-G <count> to repeat what follows. Useful for inserting a character multiple times or repeating CTRL-Y. - Make 'revins' work in Replace mode. 7 Use 'matchpairs' for 'showmatch': When inserting a character check if it appears in the rhs of 'matchpairs'. - In Insert mode (and command line editing?): Allow undo of the last typed character. This is useful for CTRL-U, CTRL-W, delete and backspace, and also for characters that wrap to the next line. Also: be able to undo CTRL-R (insert register). Possibly use 'backspace'="whole" for a mode where at least a <CR> that inserts autoindent is undone by a single <BS>. - Use CTRL-G in Insert mode for an extra range of commands, like "g" in Normal mode. - Make 'paste' work without resetting other options, but override their value. Avoids problems when changing files and modelines or autocommands are used. - When typing CTRL-V and a digit higher than 2, only expect two digits. - Insert binary numbers with CTRL-V b. - Make it possible to undo <BS>, <C-W> and <C-U>. Bash uses CTRL-Y. 'cindent', 'smartindent': 9 Wrapping a variable initialization should have extra indent: char * veryLongName = "very long string" Also check if "cino=+10" is used correctly. 8 Lisp indenting: "\\" confuses the indenter. (Dorai Sitaram, 2006 May 17) 8 Why are continuation lines outside of a {} block not indented? E.g.: long_type foo = value; 8 Java: Inside an anonymous class, after an "else" or "try" the indent is too small. (Vincent Bergbauer) Problem of using {} inside (), 'cindent' doesn't work then. 8 In C++ it's possible to have {} inside (): (Kirshna) func( new String[] { "asdf", "asdf" } ); 8 In C++ a function isn't recognized inside a namespace: (Chow Loong Jin) namespace { int func(int arg) { } } 6 Add 'cino' flag for this function argument layout: (Spencer Collyer) func( arg1 , arg2 , arg3 ); 7 Add separate "(0" option into inside/outside a function (Zellner): func( int x) // indent like "(4" { if (a && b) // indent like "(0" 9 Using "{" in a comment: (Helmut Stiegler) if (a) { if (b) { // { } } <-- this is indented incorrect Problem is that find_start_brace() checks for the matching brace to be in a comment, but not braces in between. Requires adding a comment check to findmatchlimit(). - Make smartindenting configurable. Add 'sioptions', e.g. '#' setting the indent to 0 should be switched on/off. 7 Support ANSI style function header, with each argument on its own line. - "[p" and "]p" should use 'cindent' code if it's on (only for the first line). - Add option to 'cindent' to set indent for comments outside of {}? - Make a command to line up a comment after a code line with a previous comment after a code line. Can 'cindent' do this automatically? - When 'cindent'ing a '}', showmatch is done before fixing the indent. It looks better when the indent is fixed before the showmatch. (Webb) - Add option to make indenting work in comments too (for commented-out code), unless the line starts with "". - Don't use 'cindent' when doing formatting with "gq"? - When formatting a comment after some text, insert the '' for the new line (indent is correct if 'cindent' is set, but '' doesn't get inserted). 8 When 'comments' has both "s1:/,mb:,ex:/" and "s1:(,mb:,ex:)", the 'x' flag always uses the first match. Need to continue looking for more matches of "" and remember all characters that could end the comment. - For smartindent: When typing 'else' line it up with matching 'if'. - 'smartindent': allow patterns in 'cinwords', for e.g. TeX files, where lines start with "\item". - Support this style of comments (with an option): (Brown) /* here is a comment that is just autoindented, and nothing else / - Add words to 'cinwords' to reduce the indent, e.g., "end" or "fi". 7 Use Tabs for the indent of starting lines, pad with spaces for continuation lines. Allows changing 'tabstop' without messing up the indents. Patch by Lech Lorens, 2010 Mar. Update by James McCoy, 2014 Mar 15. Java: 8 Can have {} constructs inside parens. Include changes from Steve Odendahl? 8 Recognize "import java.util.Vector" and use $CLASSPATH to find files for "[i" commands and friends. - For files found with 'include': handle "" in included name, for Java. (Jason) - How to make a "package java.util" cause all classes in the package to be searched? Also for "import java.util.". (Mark Brophy) 'comments': 8 When formatting C comments that are after code, the "" isn't repeated like it's done when there is no code. And there is no automatic wrapping. Recognize comments that come after code. Should insert the comment leader when it's "#" or "//". Other way around: when a C command starts with "* 4" the "" is repeated while it should not. Use syntax HL comment recognition? 7 When using "comments=fg:--", Vim inserts three spaces for a new line. When hitting a TAB, these spaces could be removed. 7 The 'n'esting flag doesn't do the indenting of the last (rightmost) item. 6 Make strings in 'comments' option a RE, to be able to match more complicated things. (Phillipps) Use a special flag to indicate that a regexp is used. 8 Make the 'comments' option with "/ * /" lines only repeat the "" line when there is a "/" before it? Or include this in 'cindent'? Virtual edit: 8 Make the horizontal scrollbar work to move the text further left. 7 Allow specifying it separately for Tabs and beyond end-of-line? Text objects: 8 Add text object for fold, so that it can be yanked when it's open. 8 Add test script for text object commands "aw", "iW", etc. 8 Add text object for part of a CamelHumpedWord and under_scored_word. (Scott Graham) "ac" and "au"? 8 Add a text object for any kind of quoting, also with multibyte characters. Option to specify what quotes are recognized (default: all) use "aq" and "iq". Use 'quotepairs' to define pairs of quotes, like 'matchpairs'? 8 Add text object for any kind of parens, also multibyte ones. 8 Add a way to make an ":omap" for a user-defined text object. Requires changing the starting position in oap->start. 8 Add "gp" and "gP" commands: insert text and make sure there is a single space before it, unless at the start of the line, and after it, unless at the end of the line or before a ".". 7 Add objects with backwards extension? Use "I" and "A". Thus "2dAs" deletes the current and previous sentence. (Jens Paulus) 7 Add "g{" and "g}" to move to the first/last character of a paragraph (instead of the line just before/after a paragraph as with "{" and "}"). 6 Ignore comment leaders for objects. Make "das" work in reply-email. 5 Make it possible to use syntax group matches as a text object. For example, define a "ccItem" group, then do "da<ccItem>" to delete one. Or, maybe just define "dai", delete-an-item, to delete the syntax item the cursor is on. Select mode: 8 In blockwise mode, typed characters are inserted in front of the block, backspace deletes a column before the block. (Steve Hall) 7 Alt-leftmouse starts block mode selection in MS Word. See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Use_Alt-Mouse_to_select_blockwise. 7 Add Cmdline-select mode. Like Select mode, but used on the command line. - Change gui_send_mouse_event() to pass on mouse events when 'mouse' contains 'C' or 'A'. - Catch mouse events in ex_getln.c. Also shift-cursor, etc., like in normal_cmd(). - remember start and end of selection in cmdline_info. - Typing text replaces the selection. Visual mode: 8 Support using "." in Visual mode. Use the operator applied to the Visual selection, if possible. - When dragging the Visual selection with the mouse and 'scrolloff' is zero, behave like 'scrolloff' is one, so that the text scrolls when the pointer is in the top line. - Displaying size of Visual area: use 24-33 column display. When selecting multiple lines, up to about a screenful, also count the characters. 8 When using "I" or "A" in Visual block mode, short lines do not get the new text. Make it possible to add the text to short lines too, with padding where needed. 7 With a Visual block selected, "2x" deletes a block of double the width, "3y" yanks a block of triple width, etc. 7 When selecting linewise, using "itext" should insert "text" at the start of each selected line. 8 What is "R" supposed to do in Visual mode? 8 Make Visual mode local to the buffer. Allow changing to another buffer. When starting a new Visual selection, remove the Visual selection in any other buffer. (Ron Aaron) 8 Support dragging the Visual area to drop it somewhere else. (Ron Aaron, Ben Godfrey) 7 Support dragging the Visual area to drop it in another program, and receive dropped text from another program. (Ben Godfrey) 7 With blockwise Visual mode and "c", "C", "I", "A", etc., allow the use of a <CR>. The entered lines are repeated over the Visual area. 7 Filtering a block should only apply to the block, not to the whole lines. When the number of lines is increased, add lines. When decreased, pad with spaces or delete? Use ":`<,`>" on the command line. 8 After filtering the Visual area, make "gv" select the filtered text? Currently "gv" only selects a single line, not useful. 7 Don't move the cursor when scrolling? Needed when the selection should stay the same. Scroll to the cursor at any movement command. With an option! 7 In Visual block mode, need to be able to define a corner on a position that doesn't have text? Also: when using the mouse, be able to select part of a TAB. Even more: Add a mode where the cursor can be on a screen position where there is no text. When typing, add spaces to fill the gap. Other solution: Always use curswant, so that you can move the cursor to the right column, and then use up/down movements to select the line, without changing the column. 6 ":left" and ":right" should work in Visual block mode. 7 CTRL-I and CTRL-O should work in Visual mode, but only jump to marks in the current buffer. 6 In non-Block mode, "I" should insert the same text in front of each line, before the first non-blank, "gI" in column 1. 6 In non-Block mode, "A" should append the same text after each line. 6 When in blockwise visual selection (CTRL-V), allow cursor to be placed right of the line. Could also allow cursor to be placed anywhere on a TAB or other special character. 6 Add commands to move selected text, without deselecting. More advanced repeating commands: - Add "." command for visual mode: redo last visual command (e.g. ":fmt"). - Add command to repeat last movement. Including count. - Add "." command after operator: repeat last command of same operator. E.g. "c." will repeat last change, also when "x" used since then (Webb). "y." will repeat last yank. "c2." will repeat the last but one change? Also: keep history of Normal mode commands, add command to list the history and/or pick an older command. - History stack for . command? Use "g." command. Mappings and Abbreviations: 8 When "0" is mapped (it is a movement command) this mapping should not be used after typing another number, e.g. "20l". (Charles Campbell) Is this possible without disabling the mapping of the following command? 8 Should mapping <C-A> and <C-S-A> both work? 7 ":abbr b byte", append "b " to an existing word still expands to "byte". This is Vi compatible, but can we avoid it anyway? 8 To make a mapping work with a prepended "x to select a register, store the last _typed_ register name and access it with "&. 8 Add ":amap", like ":amenu". 7 Add a mapping that works always, for remapping the keyboard. 8 Add ":cab!", abbreviations that only apply to Command-line mode and not to entering search strings. 8 Add a flag to ":abbrev" to eat the character that triggers the abbreviation. Thus "abb ab xxx" and typing "ab<Space>" inserts "xxx" and not the <Space>. 8 Give a warning when using CTRL-C in the lhs of a mapping. It will never (?) work. 7 Add <0x8f> (hex), <0o33> (octal) and <123> (decimal) to <> notation? 7 When someone tries to unmap with a trailing space, and it fails, try unmapping without the trailing space. Helps for ":unmap xx \| unmap yy". 6 Context-sensitive abbreviations: Specify syntax group(s) in which the abbreviations are to be used. - Add mappings that take arguments. Could work like the ":s" command. For example, for a mouse escape sequence: :mapexp <Esc>{$[0-9]$,$[0-9]$; H\1j\2l - Add optional <Number> argument for mappings: :map <Number>q ^W^W<Number>G :map <Number>q<Number>t ^W^W<Number1-1>G<Number2>l :map q<Char> :s/<Char>/\u\0/g Or implicit: :map q <Register>d<Number>$ - Add command to repeat a whole mapping ("." only repeats the last change in a mapping). Also: Repeat a whole insert command, including any mappings that it included. Sort-of automatic recording? - Include an option (or flag to 'cpoptions') that makes errors in mappings not flush the rest of the mapping (like nvi does). - Use context sensitiveness of completion to switch abbreviations and mappings off for :unab and :unmap. 6 When using mappings in Insert mode, insert characters for incomplete mappings first, then remove them again when a mapping matches. Avoids that characters that are the start of some mapping are not shown until you hit another character. - Add mappings for replace mode: ":rmap". How do we then enter mappings for non-replace Insert mode? - Add separate mappings for Visual-character/block/line mode? - Add 'mapstop' command, to stop recursive mappings. - List mappings that have a raw escape sequence both with the name of the key for that escape sequence (if there is one) and the sequence itself. - List mappings: Once with special keys listed as <>, once with meta chars as <M-a>, once with the byte values (octal?). Sort of "spell mapping" command? - When entering mappings: Add the possibility to enter meta keys like they are displayed, within <>: <M-a>, <~@> or <\|a>. - Allow multiple arguments to :unmap. - Command to show keys that are not used and available for mapping ":freekeys". - Allow any character except white space in abbreviations lhs (Riehm). Incsearch: - Wrong scrolling when using incsearch. Patch by Christian Brabandt, 2014 Dec 4. Is this a good solution? - Temporarily open folds to show where the search ends up. Restore the folds when going to another line. Patch to open folds for 'incsearch'. (Christian Brabandt, 2015 Jan 6) - Bug with 'incsearch' going to wrong line. (Wolfram Kresse, 2009 Aug 17) Only with "vim -u NONE". - When no match is found and the user types more, the screen is redrawn anyway. Could skip that. Esp. if the line wraps and the text is scrolled up every time. - When incsearch used and hitting return, no need to search again in many cases, saves a lot of time in big files. (Slootman wants to work on this?) When not using special characters, can continue search from the last match (or not at all, when there was no match). See oldmail/webb/in.872. 9 incsearch is incorrect for "/that/<Return>/this/;//" (last search pattern isn't updated). Searching: 9 Should have an option for :vimgrep to find lines without a match. 8 Add "g/" and "gb" to search for a pattern in the Visually selected text? "g?" is already used for rot13. The vis.vim script has a ":S" command that does something like this. Can use "g/" in Normal mode, uses the '< to '> area. Use "&/" for searching the text in the Visual area? 9 Add "v" offset: "/pat/v": search for pattern and start Visual mode on the matching text. 8 Add a modifier to interpret a space like "\_s\+" to make it much easier to search for a phrase. 8 Add a mechanism for recursiveness: "\@(([^()]\@g[^()])\)". \@g stands for "go recursive here" and \@( \) marks the recursive part. Perl does it this way: $paren = qr/ $( [^()] \| (??{ $paren }) ) $ /x; Here $paren is evaluated when it's encountered. This is like a regexp inside a regexp. In the above terms it would be: \@(($[^()]\\|\@g$)\) 8 Show the progress every second. Could use the code that checks for CTRL-C to find out how much time has passed. Or use SIGALRM. Where to show the number? 7 Support for approximate-regexps to find similar words (agrep http://www.tgries.de/agrep/ tre: http://laurikari.net/tre/index.html). 8 Add an item for a big character range, so that one can search for a chinese character: \z[234-1234] or \z[XX-YY] or \z[0x23-0x234]. 7 Add an item stack to allow matching (). One side is "push X on the stack if previous atom matched". Other side is "match with top of stack, pop it when it matches". Use "\@pX" and "\@m"? Example: $(\@p).\{-}\@m$ 7 Add a flag to "/pat/" to discard an error. Useful to continue a mapping when a search fails. Could be "/pat/E" (e is already used for end offset). 7 Add pattern item to use properties of Unicode characters. In Perl it's "\p{L}" for a letter. See Regular Expression Pocket Reference. 8 Would it be possible to allow ":23,45/pat/flags" to search for "pat" in lines 23 to 45? Or does this conflict with Ex range syntax? 8 Allow identical pairs in 'matchpairs'. Restrict the search to the current line. 7 Allow longer pairs in 'matchpairs'. Use matchit.vim as an example. 8 Make it possible to define the character that "%" checks for in #if/#endif. For nmake it's !if/!endif. - For "%" command: set hierarchy for which things include other things that should be ignored (like "/" or "#endif" inside / /). Also: use "%" to jump from start to end of syntax region and back. Alternative: use matchit.vim 8 A pattern like "$[^a]\+$\+" takes an awful long time. Recognize that the recursive "\+" is meaningless and optimize for it. This one is also very slow on "/ some comment /": "^\/\$.[^/]$$". 7 Recognize "[a-z]", "[0-9]", etc. and replace them with the faster "\l" and "\d". 7 Add a way to specify characters in <C-M> or <Key> form. Could be \%<C-M>. 8 Add an argument after ":s/pat/str/" for a range of matches. For example, ":s/pat/str/#3-4" to replace only the third and fourth "pat" in a line. 8 When 'iskeyword' is changed the matches from 'hlsearch' may change. (Benji Fisher) redraw if some options are set while 'hlsearch' is set? 8 Add an option not to use 'hlsearch' highlighting for ":s" and ":g" commands. (Kahn) It would work like ":noh" is used after that command. Also: An extra flag to do this once, and a flag to keep the existing search pattern. - Make 'hlsearch' a local/global option, so that it can be disabled in some of the windows. - Add \%h{group-name}; to search for a specific highlight group. Add \%s{syntax-group}; to search for a specific syntax group. - Support Perl regexp. Use PCRE (Perl Compatible RE) package. (Shade) Or translate the pattern to a Vim one. Don't switch on with an option for typed commands/mappings/functions, it's too confusing. Use "\@@" in the pattern, to avoid incompatibilities. 8 Add a way to access the last substitute text, what is used for ":s//~/". Can't use the ~ register, it's already used for drag & drop. - Remember flags for backreferenced items, so that "" can be used after it. Check with "$\S$\1\{3}". (Hemmerling) 8 Flags that apply to the whole pattern. This works for all places where a regexp is used. Add "\q" to not store this pattern as the last search pattern? - Add flags to search command (also for ":s"?): i ignore case I use case p use Perl regexp syntax (or POSIX?) v use Vi regexp syntax f forget pattern, don't keep it for "n" command F remember pattern, keep it for "n" command Perl uses these too: e evaluate the right side as an expression (Perl only) m multiple line expression (we don't need it) o compile only once (Perl only) s single line expression (we don't need it) x extended regexp (we don't need it) When used after ":g" command, backslash needed to avoid confusion with the following command. Add 'searchflags' for default flags (replaces 'gdefault'). - Add command to display the last used substitute pattern and last used pattern. (Margo) Maybe make it accessible through a register (like "/ for search string)? 7 Use T-search algorithm, to speed up searching for strings without special characters. See C't article, August 1997. - Add 'fuzzycase' option, so that case doesn't matter, and '-' and '_' are equivalent (for Unix filenames). - Add 'v' flag to search command: enter Visual mode, with the matching text as Visual area. (variation on idea from Bertin) - Searching: "/this//that/" should find "that" after "this". - Add global search commands: Instead of wrapping at the end of the buffer, they continue in another buffer. Use flag after search pattern: a for the next file in the argument list f for file in the buffer list w for file edited in a window. e.g. "/pat/f". Then "n" and "N" work through files too. "f" flag also for ":s/pat/foo/f"??? Then when 'autowrite' and 'hidden' are both not set, ask before saving files: "Save modified buffer "/path/file"? (Yes/Hide/No Save-all/hide-All/Quit) ". - ":s/pat/foo/3": find 3rd match of "pat", like sed. (Thomas Koehler) 7 When searching with 'n' give message when getting back where the search first started. Remember start of search in '/ mark. 7 Add option that scrolls screen to put cursor in middle of screen after search always/when off-screen/never. And after a ":tag" command. Maybe specify how many lines below the screen causes a redraw with the cursor in the middle (default would be half a screen, zero means always). 6 Support multiple search buffers, so macros can be made without side effects. 7 From xvim: Allow a newline in search patterns (also for :s, can delete newline). Add BOW, EOW, NEWL, NLORANY, NLBUTANY, magic 'n' and 'r', etc. [not in xvim:] Add option to switch on matches crossing ONE line boundary. 7 Add ":iselect", a combination of ":ilist" and ":tselect". (Aaron) (Zellner) Also ":dselect". Undo: 9 ":gundo" command: global undo. Undoes changes spread over multiple files in the order they were made. Also ":gredo". Both with a count. Useful when tests fail after making changes and you forgot in which files. 9 After undo/redo, in the message show whether the buffer is modified or not. 8 Search for pattern in undo tree, showing when it happened and the text state, so that you can jump to it. 8 Undo tree: visually show the tree somehow (Damian Conway) Show only the leaves, indicating how many changed from the branch and the timestamp? Put branch with most recent change on the left, older changes get more indent? - Make it possible to undo all the commands from a mapping, including a trailing unfinished command, e.g. for ":map K iX^[r". - When accidentally hitting "R" instead of Ctrl-R, further Ctrl-R is not possible, even when typing <Esc> immediately. (Grahn) Also for "i", "a", etc. Postpone saving for undo until something is really inserted? 8 When Inserting a lot of text, it can only be undone as a whole. Make undo sync points at every line or word. Could recognize the start of a new word (white space and then non-white space) and backspacing. Can already use CTRL-G u, but that requires remapping a lot of things. 8 Make undo more memory-efficient: Compare text before and after change, only remember the lines that really changed. 7 Add undo for a range of lines. Can change these back to a previous version without changing the rest of the file. Stop doing this when a change includes only some of these lines and changes the line count. Need to store these undo actions as a separate change that can be undone. - For u_save() include the column number. This can be used to set '[ and ']. And in the future the undo can be made more efficient (Webb). - In out-of-memory situations: Free allocated space in undo, and reduce the number of undo levels (with confirmation). - Instead of [+], give the number of changes since the last write: [+123]. When undoing to before the last write, change this to a negative number: [-99]. - With undo with simple line delete/insert: optimize screen updating. - When executing macro's: Save each line for undo only once. - When doing a global substitute, causing almost all lines to be changed, undo info becomes very big. Put undo info in swap file?? Buffer list: 7 Command to execute a command in another buffer: ":inbuf {bufname} {cmd}". Also for other windows: ":inwin {winnr} {cmd}". How to make sure that this works properly for all commands, and still be able to return to the current buffer/window? E.g.: ":inbuf xxx only". 8 Add File.{recent-files} menu entries: Recently edited files. Ron Aaron has a plugin for this: mru.vim. 8 Unix: Check all uses of fnamecmp() and fnamencmp() if they should check inode too. 7 Add another number for a buffer, which is visible for the user. When creating a new buffer, use the lowest number not in use (or the highest number in use plus one?). 7 Offer some buffer selection from the command line? Like using ":ls" and asking for a buffer number. (Zachmann) - When starting to edit a file that is already in the buffer list, use the file name argument for the new short file name. (Webb) - Add an option to make ":bnext" and ":bprev" wrap around the end of the buffer list. Also for ":next" and ":prev"? 7 Add argument to ":ls" which is a pattern for buffers to list. E.g. ":ls .c". (Thompson) 7 Add expansion of buffer names, so that ".c" is expanded to all buffer names. Needed for ":bdel .c", ":bunload .c", etc. 8 Support for <afile> where a buffer name is expected. 7 Add an option to mostly use slashes in file names. Separately for internal use and for when executing an external program? 8 Some file systems are case-sensitive, some are not. Besides 'wildignorecase' there might be more parts inside CASE_INSENSITIVE_FILENAME that are useful on Unix. Swap (.swp) files: 8 If writing to the swap file fails, should try to open one in another directory from 'dir'. Useful in case the file system is full and when there are short file name problems. 8 Also use the code to try using a short file name for the backup and swap file for the Win32 and Dos 32 bit versions. 8 When a file is edited by root, add $LOGNAME to know who did su. 8 When the edited file is a symlink, try to put the swap file in the same dir as the actual file. Adjust FullName(). Avoids editing the same file twice (e.g. when using quickfix). Also try to make the name of the backup file the same as the actual file? Use the code for resolve()? 7 When using 64 bit inode numbers, also store the top 32 bits. Add another field for this, using part of bo_fname[], to keep it compatible. 7 When editing a file on removable media, should put swap file somewhere else. Use something like 'r' flag in 'viminfo'. 'diravoid'? Also: Be able to specify minimum disk space, skip directory when not enough room. 7 Add a configure check for which directory should be used: /tmp, /var/tmp or /var/preserve. - Add an option to create a swap file only when making the first change to the buffer. (Liang) Or only when the buffer is not read-only. - Add option to set "umask" for backup files and swap files (Antwerpen). 'backupumask' and 'swapumask'? Or 'umaskbackup' and 'umaskswap'? - When editing a readonly file, don't use a swap file but read parts from the original file. Also do this when the file is huge (>'maxmem'). We do need to load the file once to count the number of lines? Perhaps keep a cached list of which line is where. Viminfo: 7 Can probably remove the code that checks for a writable viminfo file, because we now do the chown() for root, and others can't overwrite someone else's viminfo file. 8 When there is no .viminfo file and someone does "su", runs Vim, a root-owned .viminfo file is created. Is there a good way to avoid this? Perhaps check the owner of the directory. Only when root? 8 Add argument to keep the list of buffers when Vim is started with a file name. (Schild) 8 Keep the last used directory of the file browser (File/Open menu). 8 Remember the last used register for "@@". 8 Remember the redo buffer, so that "." works after restarting. 8 Remember a list of last accessed files. To be used in the "File.Open Recent" menu. Default is to remember 10 files or so. Also remember which files have been read and written. How to display this? 7 Also store the ". register (last inserted text). 7 Make it possible to store buffer names in viminfo file relative to some directory, to make them portable over a network. (Aaron) 6 Store a snapshot of the currently opened windows. So that when quitting Vim, and then starting again (without a file name argument), you see the same files in the windows. Use ":mksession" code? - Make marks present in .viminfo usable as file marks: Display a list of "last visited files" and select one to jump to. Modelines: 8 Before trying to execute a modeline, check that it looks like one (valid option names). If it's very wrong, silently ignore it. Ignore a line that starts with "Subject: ". - Add an option to whitelist options that are allowed in a modeline. This would allow careful users to use modelines, e.g., only allowing 'shiftwidth'. - Add an option to let modelines only set local options, not global ones such as 'encoding'. - When an option value is coming from a modeline, do not carry it over to another edited file? Would need to remember the value from before the modeline setting. - Allow setting a variable from a modeline? Only allow using fixed strings, no function calls, to avoid a security problem. - Allow ":doauto BufRead x.cpp" in modelines, to execute autocommands for .cpp files. - Support the "abbreviate" command in modelines (Kearns). Careful for characters after <Esc>, that is a security leak. - Add an option setting to ask the user if the modelines are to be executed or not. Same for .exrc in local dir. Sessions: 8 DOS/Windows: ":mksession" generates a "cd" command where "aa\#bb" means directory "#bb" in "aa", but it's used as "aa#bb". (Ronald Hoellwarth) 7 When there is a "help.txt" window in a session file, restoring that session will not get the "LOCAL ADDITIONS" back. 8 With ":mksession" always store the 'sessionoptions' option, even when "options" isn't in it. (St-Amant) 8 When using ":mksession", also store a command to reset all options to their default value, before setting the options that are not at their default value. 7 With ":mksession" also store the tag stack and jump history. (Michal Malecki) 7 Persistent variables: "p:var"; stored in viminfo file and sessions files. Options: 7 ":with option=value \| command": temporarily set an option value and restore it after the command has executed. 8 Make "old" number options that really give a number of effects into string options that are a comma separated list. The old number values should also be supported. 8 Add commands to save and restore an option, which also preserves the flag that marks if the option was set. Useful to keep the effect of setting 'compatible' after ":syntax on" has been used. 7 There is 'titleold', why is there no 'iconold'? (Chazelas) External commands: 8 When filtering text, redirect stderr so that it can't mess up the screen and Vim doesn't need to redraw it. Also for ":r !cmd". 4 Set separate shell for ":sh", piping "range!filter", reading text "r !ls" and writing text "w !wc". (Deutsche) Allow arguments for fast start (e.g. -f). 4 Allow direct execution, without using a shell. 4 Run an external command in the background. But how about I/O in the GUI? Careful: don't turn Vim into a shell! 4 Add feature to disable using a shell or external commands. Multiple Windows: 7 "vim -oO file ..." use both horizontal and vertical splits. 8 Add CTRL-W T: go to the top window in the column of the current window. And CTRL-W B: go to bottom window. 7 Use CTRL-W <Tab>, like alt-tab, to switch between buffers. Repeat <Tab> to select another buffer (only loaded ones?), <BS> to go back, <Enter> to select buffer, <Esc> to go back to original buffer. 7 Make it possible to edit a new buffer in the preview window. A script can then fill it with something. ":popen"? 7 Add a 'tool' window: behaves like a preview window but there can be several. Don't count it in only_one_window(). (Alexei Alexandrov) 6 Add an option to resize the shell when splitting and/or closing a window. ":vsp" would make the shell wider by as many columns as needed for the new window. Specify a maximum size (or use the screen size). ":close" would shrink the shell by as many columns as come available. (Demirel) 7 When starting Vim several times, instantiate a Vim server, that allows communication between the different Vims. Feels like one Vim running with multiple top-level windows. Esp. useful when Vim is started from an IDE too. Requires some form of inter process communication. - Support a connection to an external viewer. Could call the viewer automatically after some seconds of non-activity, or with a command. Allow some way of reporting scrolling and cursor positioning in the viewer to Vim, so that the link between the viewed and edited text can be made. Marks: 8 Add ten marks for last changed files: ':0, ':1, etc. One mark per file. 8 When cursor is first moved because of scrolling, set a mark at this position. (Rimon Barr) Use '-. 8 Add a command to jump to a mark and make the motion inclusive. g'm and g`m? 8 The '" mark is set to the first line, even when doing ":next" a few times. Only set the '" mark when the cursor was really moved in a file. 8 Make `` and '', which would position the new cursor position in the middle of the window, restore the old topline (or relative position) from when the mark was set. 7 Make a list of file marks in a separate window. For listing all buffers, matching tags, errors, etc. Normal commands to move around. Add commands to jump to the mark (in current window or new window). Start it with ":browse marks"? 6 Add a menu that lists the Marks like ":marks". (Amerige) 7 For ":jumps", ":tags" and ":marks", for not loaded buffers, remember the text at the mark. Highlight the column with the mark. 7 Highlight each mark in some way (With "Mark" highlight group). Or display marks in a separate column, like 'number' does. 7 Use d"m to delete rectangular area from cursor to mark m (like Vile's \m command). 7 Try to keep marks in the same position when: - replacing with a line break, like in ":s/pat/^M/", move marks after the line break column to the next line. (Acevedo) - inserting/deleting characters in a line. 5 Include marks for start/end of the current word and section. Useful in mappings. 6 Add "unnamed mark" feature: Like marks for the ":g" command, but place and unplace them with commands before doing something with the lines. Highlight the marked lines somehow. Digraphs: 7 Make "ga" show the keymap for a character, if it exists. Also show the code of the character after conversion to 'fileencoding'. - Use digraph table to tell Vim about the collating sequence of special characters? 8 Add command to remove one or more (all) digraphs. (Brown) 7 Support different sets of digraphs (depending on the character set?). At least Latin1/Unicode, Latin-2, MS-DOS (esp. for Win32). Writing files: - In vim_rename(), should lock "from" file when deleting "to" file for systems other than Amiga. Avoids problems with unexpected longname to shortname conversion. 8 write mch_isdevice() for Amiga, Mac, VMS, etc. 8 When appending to a file, Vim should also make a backup and a 'patchmode' file. 8 'backupskip' doesn't write a backup file at all, a bit dangerous for some applications. Add 'backupelsewhere' to write a backup file in another directory? Or add a flag to 'backupdir'? 6 Add an option to write a new, numbered, backup file each time. Like 'patchmode', e.g., 'backupmode'. 6 Make it possible to write 'patchmode' files to a different directory. E.g., ":set patchmode=~/backups/.orig". (Thomas) 6 Add an option to prepend something to the backup file name. E.g., "#". Or maybe allow a function to modify the backup file name? 8 Only make a backup when overwriting a file for the first time. Avoids losing the original when writing twice. (Slootman) 7 On non-Unix machines, also overwrite the original file in some situations (file system full, it's a link on an NFS partition). 7 When editing a file, check that it has been changed outside of Vim more often, not only when writing over it. E.g., at the time the swap file is flushed. Or every ten seconds or so (use the time of day, check it before waiting for a character to be typed). 8 When a file was changed since editing started, show this in the status line of the window, like "[time]". Make it easier to reload all outdated files that don't have changes. Automatic and/or with a command. Substitute: 8 Substitute with hex/unicode number "\%xff" and "\%uabcd". Just like "\%uabcd" in search pattern. 8 Make it easier to replace in all files in the argument list. E.g.: ":argsub/oldword/newword/". Works like ":argdo %s/oldword/newword/g\|w". - :s///p prints the line after a substitution. - With :s///c replace \&, ~, etc. when showing the replacement pattern. 8 With :s///c allow scrolling horizontally when 'nowrap' is effective. Also allow a count before the scrolling keys. - Add number option to ":s//2": replace second occurrence of string? Or: :s///N substitutes N times. - Add answers to ":substitute" with 'c' flag, used in a ":global", e.g.: ":g/pat1/s/pat2/pat3/cg": 'A' do all remaining replacements, 'Q' don't do any replacements, 'u' undo last substitution. 7 Substitute in a block of text. Use {line}.{column} notation in an Ex range, e.g.: ":1.3,$.5s" means to substitute from line 1 column 3 to the last line column 5. 5 Add commands to bookmark lines, display bookmarks, remove bookmarks, operate on lines with bookmarks, etc. Like ":global" but with the possibility to keep the bookmarks and use them with several commands. (Stanislav Sitar) Mouse support: 8 Add 'o' flag to 'mouse'? 7 Be able to set a 'mouseshape' for the popup menu. 8 Add 'mouse' flag, which sets a behavior like Visual mode, but automatic yanking at the button-up event. Or like Select mode, but typing gets you out of Select mode, instead of replacing the text. (Bhaskar) - Implement mouse support for the Amiga console. - Using right mouse button to extend a blockwise selection should attach to the nearest corner of the rectangle (four possible corners). - Precede mouse click by a number to simulate double clicks?!? - When mouse click after 'r' command, get character that was pointed to. Argument list: 6 Add command to put all filenames from the tag files in the argument list. When given an argument, only use the files where that argument matches (like `grep -l ident`) and jump to the first match. 6 Add command to form an args list from all the buffers? Registers: 8 Don't display empty registers with ":display". (Etienne) 8 Add put command that overwrites existing text. Should also work for blocks. Useful to move text around in a table. Works like using "R ^R r" for every line. - When appending to a register, also report the total resulting number of lines. Or just say "99 more lines yanked", add the "more". - When inserting a register in Insert mode with CTRL-R, don't insert comment leader when line wraps? - The ":@r" commands should take a range and execute the register for each line in the range. - Add "P" command to insert contents of unnamed register, move selected text to position of previous deleted (to swap foo and bar in " + foo") 8 Should be able to yank and delete into the "/ register. How to take care of the flags (offset, magic)? Debug mode: 8 Add breakpoints for setting an option 8 Add breakpoints for assigning to a variable. 7 Store the history from debug mode in viminfo. 7 Make the debug mode history available with histget() et al. Various improvements: 7 Add plugins for formatting? Should be able to make a choice depending on the language of a file (English/Korean/Japanese/etc.). Setting the 'langformat' option to "chinese" would load the "format/chinese.vim" plugin. The plugin would set 'formatexpr' and define the function being called. Edward L. Fox explains how it should be done for most Asian languages. (2005 Nov 24) Alternative: patch for utf-8 line breaking. (Yongwei Wu, 2008 Feb 23) 7 [t to move to previous xml/html tag (like "vatov"), ]t to move to next ("vatv"). 7 [< to move to previous xml/html tag, e.g., previous <li>. ]< to move to next <li>, ]< to next </li>, [< to previous </li>. 8 Add ":rename" command: rename the file of the current buffer and rename the buffer. Buffer may be modified. 7 Instead of filtering errors with a shell script it should be possible to do this with Vim script. A function that filters the raw text that comes from the 'makeprg'? - Add %b to 'errorformat': buffer number. (Yegappan Lakshmanan / Suresh Govindachar) 7 Allow a window not to have a statusline. Makes it possible to use a window as a buffer-tab selection. 8 Allow non-active windows to have a different statusline. (Yakov Lerner) 7 Add an invisible buffer which can be edited. For use in scripts that want to manipulate text without changing the window layout. 8 Add a command to revert to the saved version of file; undo or redo until all changes are gone. 6 "vim -q -" should read the list of errors from stdin. (Gautam Mudunuri) 8 Add "--remote-fail": When contacting the server fails, exit Vim. Add "--remote-self": When contacting the server fails, do it in this Vim. Overrules the default of "--remote-send" to fail and "--remote" to do it in this Vim. 8 When Vim was started without a server, make it possible to start one, as if the "--servername" argument was given. ":startserver <name>"? 8 No address range can be used before the command modifiers. This makes them difficult to use in a menu for Visual mode. Accept the range and have it apply to the following command. 8 Add the possibility to set 'fileformats' to force a format and strip other CR characters. For example, for "dos" files remove CR characters at the end of the line, so that a file with mixed line endings is cleaned up. To just not display the CR characters: Add a flag to 'display'? 7 Some compilers give error messages in which the file name does not have a path. Be able to specify that 'path' is used for these files. 7 Xterm sends <Esc>O3F for <M-End>. Similarly for other <M-Home>, <M-Left>, etc. Combinations of Alt, Ctrl and Shift are also possible. Recognize these to avoid inserting the raw byte sequence, handle like the key without modifier (unless mapped). 6 Add "gG": like what "gj" is to "j": go to the N'th window line. 8 Add command like ":normal" that accepts <Key> notation like ":map". 9 Support ACLs on more systems. 7 Add ModeMsgVisual, ModeMsgInsert, etc. so that each mode message can be highlighted differently. 7 Add a message area for the user. Set some option to reserve space (above the command line?). Use an ":echouser" command to display the message (truncated to fit in the space). 7 Add %s to 'keywordprg': replace with word under the cursor. (Zellner) 8 Support printing on Unix. Can use "lpansi.c" as an example. (Bookout) 8 Add put command that replaces the text under it. Esp. for blockwise Visual mode. 7 Enhance termresponse stuff: Add t_CV(?): pattern of term response, use regexp: "\e\[[>?][0-9;]c", but only check just after sending t_RV. 7 Add "g\|" command: move to N'th column from the left margin (after wrapping and applying 'leftcol'). Works as "\|" like what "g0" is to "0". 7 Support setting 'equalprg' to a user function name. 7 Highlight the characters after the end-of-line differently. 7 When 'whichwrap' contains "l", "$dl" should join lines? 8 Add an argument to configure to use $CFLAGS and not modify it? (Mooney) 8 Enabling features is a mix of configure arguments and defines in feature.h. How to make this consistent? Feature.h is required for non-unix systems. Perhaps let configure define CONF_XXX, and use #ifdef CONF_XXX in feature.h? Then what should min-features and max-features do? 8 Add "g^E" and "g^Y", to scroll a screen-full line up and down. 8 Add ":confirm" handling in open_exfile(), for when file already exists. 8 When quitting with changed files, make the dialog list the changed file and allow "write all", "discard all", "write some". The last one would then ask "write" or "discard" for each changed file. Patch in HierAssist does something like this. (Shah) 7 Use growarray for replace stack. 7 Have a look at viH (Hellenic or Greek version of Vim). But a solution outside of Vim might be satisfactory (Haritsis). 3 Make "2d%" work like "d%d%" instead of "d2%"? 7 "g CTRL-O" jumps back to last used buffer. Skip CTRL-O jumps in the same buffer. Make jumplist remember the last ten accessed buffers? 7 Make it possible to set the size of the jumplist (also to a smaller number than the default). (Nikolai Weibull) - Add code to disable the CAPS key when going from Insert to Normal mode. - Set date/protection/etc. of the patchfile the same as the original file. - Use growarray for termcodes[] in term.c - Add <window-99>, like <cword> but use filename of 99'th window. 7 Add a way to change an operator to always work characterwise-inclusive (like "v" makes the operator characterwise-exclusive). "x" could be used. - Make a set of operations on list of names: expand wildcards, replace home dir, append a string, delete a string, etc. - Remove using mktemp() and use tmpname() only? Ctags does this. - When replacing environment variables, and there is one that is not set, turn it into an empty string? Only when expanding options? (Hiebert) - Option to set command to be executed instead of producing a beep (e.g. to call "play newbeep.au"). - Add option to show the current function name in the status line. More or less what you find with "[[k", like how 'cindent' recognizes a function. (Bhatt). - "[r" and "]r": like "p" and "P", but replace instead of insert (esp. for blockwise registers). - Add 'timecheck' option, on by default. Makes it possible to switch off the timestamp warning and question. (Dodt). - Add an option to set the time after which Vim should check the timestamps of the files. Only check when an event occurs (e.g., character typed, mouse moved). Useful for non-GUI versions where keyboard focus isn't noticeable. - Make 'smartcase' work even though 'ic' isn't set (Webb). 7 When formatting text, allow to break the line at a number of characters. Use an option for this: 'breakchars'? Useful for formatting Fortran code. - Add flag to 'formatoptions' to be able to format book-style paragraphs (first line of paragraph has larger indent, no empty lines between paragraphs). Complements the '2' flag. Use '>' flag when larger indent starts a new paragraph, use '<' flag when smaller indent starts a new paragraph. Both start a new paragraph on any indent change. 8 The 'a' flag in 'formatoptions' is too dangerous. In some way only do auto-formatting in specific regions, e.g. defined by syntax highlighting. 8 Allow using a trailing space to signal a paragraph that continues on the next line (MIME text/plain; format=flowed, RFC 2646). Can be used for continuous formatting. Could use 'autoformat' option, which specifies a regexp which triggers auto-formatting (for one line). ":set autoformat=\\s$". - Be able to redefine where a sentence stops. Use a regexp pattern? - Support multibyte characters for sentences. Example from Ben Peterson. 7 Add command "g)" to go to the end of a sentence, "g(" to go back to the end of a sentence. (Servatius Brandt) - Be able to redefine where a paragraph starts. For "[[" where the '{' is not in column 1. 6 Add ":cdprev": go back to the previous directory. Need to remember a stack of previous directories. We also need ":cdnext". 7 Should ":cd" for MS-DOS go to $HOME, when it's defined? - Make "gq<CR>" work on the last line in the file. Maybe for every operator? - Add more redirecting of Ex commands: :redir #> bufname :redir #>> bufname (append) - Give error message when starting :redir: twice or using END when no redirection was active. - Setting of options, specifically for a buffer or window, with ":set window.option" or ":set buffer.option=val". Or use ":buffer.set". Also: "buffer.map <F1> quit". 6 Would it be possible to change the color of the cursor in the Win32 console? (Klaus Hast) - Add :delcr command: :delcr* :[range]delcr[!] Check [range] lines (default: whole buffer) for lines ending in <CR>. If all lines end in <CR>, or [!] is used, remove the <CR> at the end of lines in [range]. A CTRL-Z at the end of the file is removed. If [range] is omitted, or it is the whole file, and all lines end in <CR> 'textmode' is set. - Should integrate addstar() and file_pat_to_reg_pat(). - When working over a serial line with 7 bit characters, remove meta characters from 'isprint'. - Use fchdir() in init_homedir(), like in FullName(). - In win_update(), when the GUI is active, always use the scrolling area. Avoid that the last status line is deleted and needs to be redrawn. - That "cTx" fails when the cursor is just after 'x' is Vi compatible, but may not be what you expect. Add a flag in 'cpoptions' for this? More general: Add an option to allow "c" to work with a null motion. - Give better error messages by using errno (strerror()). - Give "Usage:" error message when command used with wrong arguments (like Nvi). - Make 'restorescreen' option also work for xterm (and others), replaces the SAVE_XTERM_SCREEN define. 7 Support for ":winpos" In xterm: report the current window position. - Give warning message when using ":set t_xx=asdf" for a termcap code that Vim doesn't know about. Add flag in 'shortmess'? 6 Add ":che <file>", list all the include paths which lead to this file. - For a commandline that has several commands (:s, :d, etc.) summarize the changes all together instead of for each command (e.g. for the rot13 macro). - Add command like "[I" that also shows the tree of included files. - ":set sm^L" results in ":set s", because short names of options are also expanded. Is there a better way to do this? - Add ":@!" command, to ":@" like what ":source!" is to ":source". 8 Add ":@:!": repeat last command with forceit set. - Add 't_normal': Used whenever t_me, t_se, t_ue or t_Zr is empty. - ":cab map test ^V\| je", ":cunab map" doesn't work. This is vi compatible! - CTRL-W CTRL-E and CTRL-W CTRL-Y should move the current window up or down if it is not the first or last window. - Include-file-search commands should look in the loaded buffer of a file (if there is one) instead of the file itself. 7 Change 'nrformats' to include the leader for each format. Example: nrformats=hex:$,binary:b,octal:0 Add setting of 'nrformats' to syntax files. - 'path' can become very long, don't use NameBuff for expansion. - When unhiding a hidden buffer, put the same line at top of the window as the one before hiding it. Or: keep the same relative cursor position (so many percent down the windows). - Make it possible for the 'showbreak' to be displayed at the end of the line. Use a comma to separate the part at the end and the start of the line? Highlight the linebreak characters, add flag in 'highlight'. Make 'showbreak' local to a window. - Some string options should be expanded if they have wildcards, e.g. 'dictionary' when it is ".h". - Use a specific type for number and boolean options, making it possible to change it for specific machines (e.g. when a long is 64 bit). - Add option for <Insert> in replace mode going to normal mode. (Nugent) - Add a next/previous possibility to "[^I" and friends. - Add possibility to change the HOME directory. Use the directory from the passwd file? (Antwerpen) 8 Add commands to push and pop all or individual options. ":setpush tw", ":setpop tw", ":setpush all". Maybe pushing/popping all options is sufficient. ":setflush" resets the option stack? How to handle an aborted mapping? Remember position in tag stack when mapping starts, restore it when an error aborts the mapping? - Change ":fixdel" into option 'fixdel', t_del will be adjusted each time t_bs is set? (Webb) - "gc": goto character, move absolute character positions forward, also counting newlines. "gC" goes backwards (Weigert). - When doing CTRL-^, redraw buffer with the same topline. (Demirel) Store cursor row and window height to redraw cursor at same percentage of window (Webb). - Besides remembering the last used line number of a file, also remember the column. Use it with CTRL-^ et. al. - Check for non-digits when setting a number option (careful when entering hex codes like 0xff). - Add option to make "." redo the "@r" command, instead of the last command executed by it. Also to make "." redo the whole mapping. Basically: redo the last TYPED command. - Support URL links for ^X^F in Insert mode, like for "gf". - Support %name% expansion for "gf" on Windows. - Make "gf" work on "file://c:/path/name". "file:/c:/" and "file:///c:/" should also work? - Add 'urlpath', used like 'path' for when "gf" used on a URL? 8 When using "gf" on an absolute file name, while editing a remote file (starts with scp:// or http://) should prepend the method and machine name. - When finding a URL or file name, and it doesn't exist, try removing a trailing '.'. - Add ":path" command modifier. Should work for every command that takes a file name argument, to search for the file name in 'path'. Use find_file_in_path(). - Highlight control characters on the screen: Shows the difference between CTRL-X and "^" followed by "X" (Colon). - Integrate parsing of cmdline command and parsing for expansion. - Create a program that can translate a .swp file from any machine into a form usable by Vim on the current machine. - Add ":noro" command: Reset 'ro' flag for all buffers, except ones that have a readonly file. ":noro!" will reset all 'ro' flags. - Add a variant of CTRL-V that stops interpretation of more than one character. For entering mappings on the command line where a key contains several special characters, e.g. a trailing newline. - Make '2' option in 'formatoptions' also work inside comments. - Add 's' flag to 'formatoptions': Do not break when inside a string. (Dodt) - When window size changed (with the mouse) and made too small, set it back to the minimal size. - Add "]>" and "[<", shift comment at end of line (command; / comment */). - Should not call cursorcmd() for each vgetc() in getcmdline(). - ":split file1 file2" adds two more windows (Webb). - Don't give message "Incomplete last line" when editing binary file. - Add ":a", ":i" for preloading of named buffers. - When entering text, keep other windows on same buffer updated (when a line entered)? - Check out how screen does output optimizing. Apparently this is possible as an output filter. - In dosub() regexec is called twice for the same line. Try to avoid this. - Window updating from memline.c: insert/delete/replace line. - Optimize ml_append() for speed, esp. for reading a file. - V..c should keep indent when 'ai' is set, just like [count]cc. - Updatescript() can be done faster with a string instead of a char. - Screen updating is inefficient with CTRL-F and CTRL-B when there are long lines. - Uppercase characters in Ex commands can be made lowercase? 8 Add option to show characters in text not as "\|A" but as decimal ("^129"), hex ("\x81") or octal ("\201") or meta (M-x). Nvi has the 'octal' option to switch from hex to octal. Vile can show unprintable characters in hex or in octal. 7 Tighter integration with xxd to edit binary files. Make it more easy/obvious to use. Command line argument? - How does vi detect whether a filter has messed up the screen? Check source. After ":w !command" a wait_return? - Improve screen updating code for doput() (use s_ins()). - With 'p' command on last line: scroll screen up (also for terminals without insert line command). - Use insert/delete char when terminal supports it. - Optimize screen redraw for slow terminals. - Optimize "dw" for long row of spaces (say, 30000). - Add "-d null" for editing from a script file without displaying. - In Insert mode: Remember the characters that were removed with backspace and re-insert them one at a time with <key1>, all together with <key2>. - Amiga: Add possibility to set a keymap. The code in amiga.c does not work yet. - Implement 'redraw' option. - Add special code to 'sections' option to define something else but '{' or '}' as the start of a section (e.g. one shiftwidth to the right). 7 Allow using Vim in a pipe: "ls \| vim -u xxx.vim - \| yyy". Only needs implementing ":w" to stdout in the buffer that was read from stdin. Perhaps writing to stdout will work, since stderr is used for the terminal I/O. 8 Allow opening an unnamed buffer with ":e !cmd" and ":sp !cmd". Vile can do it. - Add commands like ]] and [[ that do not include the line jumped to. - When :unab without matching "from" part and several matching "to" parts, delete the entry that was used last, instead of the first in the list. - Add text justification option. - Set boolean options on/off with ":set paste=off", ":set paste=on". - After "inv"ing an option show the value: ":set invpaste" gives "paste is off". - Check handling of CTRL-V and '\' for ":" commands that do not have TRLBAR. - When a file cannot be opened but does exist, give error message. - Amiga: When 'r' protection bit is not set, file can still be opened but gives read errors. Check protection before opening. - When writing check for file exists but no permission, "Permission denied". - If file does not exist, check if directory exists. - Settings edit mode: make file with ":set opt=xx", edit it, parse it as ex commands. - ":set -w all": list one option per line. - Amiga: test for 'w' flag when reading a file. - :table command (Webb) - Add new operator: clear, make area white (replace with spaces): "g ". - Add command to ":read" a file at a certain column (blockwise read?). - Add sort of replace mode where case is taken from the old text (Goldfarb). - Allow multiple arguments for ":read", read all the files. - Support for tabs in specific columns: ":set tabcol=8,20,34,56" (Demirel). - Add 'searchdir' option: Directories to search for file name being edited (Demirel). - Modifier for the put command: Change to linewise, charwise, blockwise, etc. - Add commands for saving and restoring options ":set save" "set restore", for use in macro's and the like. - Keep output from listings in a window, so you can have a look at it while working in another window. Put cmdline in a separate window? - Add possibility to put output of Ex commands in a buffer or file, e.g. for ":set all". ":r :set all"? - When the 'equalalways' option is set, creating a new window should not result in windows to become bigger. Deleting a window should not result in a window to become smaller (Webb). - When resizing the whole Vim window, the windows inside should be resized proportionally (Webb). - Include options directly in option table, no indirect pointers. Use mkopttab to make option table? - When doing ":w dir", where "dir" is a directory name, write the current file into that directory, with the current file name (without the path)? - Support for 'dictionary's that are sorted, makes access a lot faster (Haritsis). - Add "^Vrx" on the command line, replace with contents of register x. Used instead of CTRL-R to make repeating possible. (Marinichev) - Add "^Vb" on the command line, replace with word before or under the cursor? - Support mapping for replace mode and "r" command (Vi doesn't do this)? 8 Sorting of filenames for completion is wrong on systems that ignore case of filenames. Add 'ignorefncase' option. When set, case in filenames is ignored for sorting them. Patch by Mike Williams: ~/vim/patches/ignorefncase. Also change what matches? Or use another option name. 8 Should be able to compile Vim in another directory, with $(srcdir) set to where the sources are. Add $(srcdir) in the Makefile in a lot of places. (Netherton) 6 Make it configurable when "J" inserts a space or not. Should not add a space after "(", for example. 5 When inserting spaces after the end-of-line for 'virtualedit', use tabs when the user wants this (e.g., add a "tab" field to 'virtualedit'). (Servatius Brandt) From Elvis: - Use "instman.sh" to install manpages? - Add ":alias" command. - Search patterns: \@ match word under cursor. but do: \@w match the word under the cursor? \@W match the WORD under the cursor? 8 ":window" command: :win + next window (up) :win ++ idem, wrapping :win - previous window (down) :win -- idem, wrapping :win nr to window number "nr" :win name to window editing buffer "name" 7 ":cc" compiles a single file (default: current one). 'ccprg' option is program to use with ":cc". Use ":compile" instead of ":cc"? From xvi: - CTRL-_ : swap 8th bit of character. - Add egrep-like regex type, like xvi (Ned Konz) or Perl (Emmanuel Mogenet) From vile: - When horizontal scrolling, use '>' for lines continuing right of a window. - Support putting .swp files in /tmp: Command in rc.local to move .swp files from /tmp to some directory before deleting files. Far future and "big" extensions: - Instead of using a Makefile and autoconf, use a simple shell script to find the C compiler and do everything with C code. Translate something like an Aap recipe and configure.ac to C. Avoids depending on Python, thus will work everywhere. With batch file to find the C compiler it would also work on MS-Windows. - Make it easy to setup Vim for groups of users: novice vi users, novice Vim users, C programmers, xterm users, GUI users,... - Change layout of blocks in swap file: Text at the start, with '\n' in between lines (just load the file without changes, except for Mac). Indexes for lines are from the end of the block backwards. It's the current layout mirrored. - Make it possible to edit a register, in a window, like a buffer. - Add stuff to syntax highlighting to change the text (upper-case keywords, set indent, define other highlighting, etc.). - Mode to keep C-code formatted all the time (sort of on-line indent). - Several top-level windows in one Vim session. Be able to use a different font in each top-level window. - Allow editing above start and below end of buffer (flag in 'virtualedit'). - Smart cut/paste: recognize words and adjust spaces before/after them. - Add open mode, use it when terminal has no cursor positioning. - Special "drawing mode": a line is drawn where the cursor is moved to. Backspace deletes along the line (from jvim). - Support for underlining (underscore-BS-char), bold (char-BS-char) and other standout modes switched on/off with , 'overstrike' option (Reiter). - Add vertical mode (Paul Jury, Demirel): "5vdw" deletes a word in five lines, "3vitextESC" will insert "text" in three lines, etc.. 4 Recognize l, #, p as 'flags' to EX commands: :g/RE/#l shall print lines with line numbers and in list format. :g/RE/dp shall print lines that are deleted. POSIX: Commands where flags shall apply to all lines written: list, number, open, print, substitute, visual, &, z. For other commands, flags shall apply to the current line after the command completes. Examples: :7,10j #l Join the lines 7-10 and print the result in list - Allow two or more users to edit the same file at the same time. Changes are reflected in each Vim immediately. Could work with local files but also over the internet. See http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/. vim:tw=78:sw=4:sts=4:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl: vim: set fo+=n :	302.17 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda. Please see \|kcc\| below or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs: http://iccf-holland.org/ http://www.vim.org/iccf/ http://www.iccf.nl/ You can also sponsor the development of Vim. Vim sponsors can vote for features. See \|sponsor\|. The money goes to Uganda anyway. The Open Publication License applies to the Vim documentation, see \|manual-copyright\|. === begin of license === VIM LICENSE I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except that they must include this license text. You can also distribute unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage examples and Vim scripts. II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim, including executables and/or source code, when the following four conditions are met: 1) This license text must be included unmodified. 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways: a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you must make your changes, including source code, available to the maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes. The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>. If this changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has received your changes they will not have to be sent again. b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the text under a) applies to those changes. c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of the modified Vim you distribute. This may be done in the form of a context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code you add. The changes and their license must not restrict others from making their own changes to the official version of Vim. d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the changes if the following three conditions are met: - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official version of Vim without fee or restriction. - You keep the changes for at least three years after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them available to him. - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This contact information must remain valid for at least three years after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long as possible. e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes, you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or any later version. 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version" command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as mentioned under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does not conflict with the license used for the changes. 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be removed or changed, except that the person himself can make corrections. III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is <maintainer@vim.org> IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came with, at your option. === end of license === Note: - If you are happy with Vim, please express that by reading the rest of this file and consider helping needy children in Uganda. - If you want to support further Vim development consider becoming a \|sponsor\|. The money goes to Uganda anyway. - According to Richard Stallman the Vim license is GNU GPL compatible.

The area is known as Rakai District. The population is mostly farmers. Although people are poor, there is enough food. But this district is suffering from AIDS more than any other part of the world. Some say that it started there. Estimations are that 10 to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV. Because parents die, there are many orphans. In this district about 60,000 children have lost one or both parents, out of a population of 350,000. And this is still continuing. The children need a lot of help. The KCC is working hard to provide the needy with food, medical care and education. Food and medical care to keep them healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the future. KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any religion. The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil wars. Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food. Most of the orphans are living in an extended family. An uncle or older sister is taking care of them. Because these families are big and the income (if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food. Clothes, medical care and schooling is beyond its reach. To help these needy children, a sponsorship program was put into place. A child can be financially adopted. For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it. Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up needs to be improved. KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods. There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given. Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and households are stimulated to build a proper latrine. I helped setting up a production site for cement slabs. These are used to build a good latrine. They are sold below cost price. There is a small clinic at the project, which provides children and their family with medical help. When needed, transport to a hospital is offered. Immunization programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is breaking out (measles and cholera have been a problem). donate Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a volunteer. I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water and sanitation. I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps. When I came back to Holland, I wanted to continue supporting KCC. To do this I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program. Please consider one of these possibilities: 1. Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more). 2. Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more). 3. Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter 4. A one-time donation Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than 5% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year. How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my personal guarantee as the author of Vim. I trust the people that are working at the centre, I know them personally. Furthermore, the centre has been co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and is now under the supervision of Pacific Academy Outreach Society. The centre is visited about once a year to check the progress (at our own cost). I have visited the centre myself many times, starting in 1993. The visit reports are on the ICCF web site. If you have any further questions, send me e-mail: <Bram@vim.org>. The address of the centre is: Kibaale Children's Centre p.o. box 1658 Masaka, Uganda, East Africa Sending money: iccf-donations Check the ICCF web site for the latest information! See \|iccf\| for the URL. USA: The methods mentioned below can be used. Sending a check to the Nehemiah Group Outreach Society (NGOS) is no longer possible, unfortunately. We are looking for another way to get you an IRS tax receipt. For sponsoring a child contact KCF in Canada (see below). US checks can be sent to them to lower banking costs. Canada: Contact Kibaale Children's Fund (KCF) in Surrey, Canada. They take care of the Canadian sponsors for the children in Kibaale. KCF forwards 100% of the money to the project in Uganda. You can send them a one time donation directly. Please send me a note so that I know what has been donated because of Vim. Ask KCF for information about sponsorship.

📄 undo.txt undo.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Nov 30 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Undo and redo undo-redo The basics are explained in section \|02.5\| of the user manual. 1. Undo and redo commands \|undo-commands\| 2. Two ways of undo \|undo-two-ways\| 3. Undo blocks \|undo-blocks\| 4. Undo branches \|undo-branches\| 5. Undo persistence \|undo-persistence\| 6. Remarks about undo \|undo-remarks\| ============================================================================== 1. Undo and redo commands undo-commands <Undo> or undo <Undo> u u Undo [count] changes. :u :un :undo :u[ndo] Undo one change. E830 :u[ndo] {N} Jump to after change number {N}. See \|undo-branches\| for the meaning of {N}. CTRL-R CTRL-R Redo [count] changes which were undone. :red :redo redo :red[o] Redo one change which was undone. U U Undo all latest changes on one line, the line where the latest change was made. \|U\| itself also counts as a change, and thus \|U\| undoes a previous \|U\|. The last changes are remembered. You can use the undo and redo commands above to revert the text to how it was before each change. You can also apply the changes again, getting back the text before the undo. The "U" command is treated by undo/redo just like any other command. Thus a "u" command undoes a "U" command and a 'CTRL-R' command redoes it again. When mixing "U", "u" and 'CTRL-R' you will notice that the "U" command will restore the situation of a line to before the previous "U" command. This may be confusing. Try it out to get used to it. The "U" command will always mark the buffer as changed. When "U" changes the buffer back to how it was without changes, it is still considered changed. Use "u" to undo changes until the buffer becomes unchanged. ============================================================================== 2. Two ways of undo undo-two-ways How undo and redo commands work depends on the 'u' flag in 'cpoptions'. There is the Vim way ('u' excluded) and the Vi-compatible way ('u' included). In the Vim way, "uu" undoes two changes. In the Vi-compatible way, "uu" does nothing (undoes an undo). 'u' excluded, the Vim way: You can go back in time with the undo command. You can then go forward again with the redo command. If you make a new change after the undo command, the redo will not be possible anymore. 'u' included, the Vi-compatible way: The undo command undoes the previous change, and also the previous undo command. The redo command repeats the previous undo command. It does NOT repeat a change command, use "." for that. Examples Vim way Vi-compatible way ~ "uu" two times undo no-op "u CTRL-R" no-op two times undo Rationale: Nvi uses the "." command instead of CTRL-R. Unfortunately, this is not Vi compatible. For example "dwdwu." in Vi deletes two words, in Nvi it does nothing. ============================================================================== 3. Undo blocks undo-blocks One undo command normally undoes a typed command, no matter how many changes that command makes. This sequence of undo-able changes forms an undo block. Thus if the typed key(s) call a function, all the commands in the function are undone together. If you want to write a function or script that doesn't create a new undoable change but joins in with the previous change use this command: :undoj :undojoin E790 :undoj[oin] Join further changes with the previous undo block. Warning: Use with care, it may prevent the user from properly undoing changes. Don't use this after undo or redo. This is most useful when you need to prompt the user halfway through a change. For example in a function that calls \|getchar()\|. Do make sure that there was a related change before this that you must join with. This doesn't work by itself, because the next key press will start a new change again. But you can do something like this: > :undojoin \| delete After this a "u" command will undo the delete command and the previous change. To do the opposite, break a change into two undo blocks, in Insert mode use CTRL-G u. This is useful if you want an insert command to be undoable in parts. E.g., for each sentence. \|i_CTRL-G_u\| Setting the value of 'undolevels' also breaks undo. Even when the new value is equal to the old value. ============================================================================== 4. Undo branches undo-branches undo-tree Above we only discussed one line of undo/redo. But it is also possible to branch off. This happens when you undo a few changes and then make a new change. The undone changes become a branch. You can go to that branch with the following commands. This is explained in the user manual: \|usr_32.txt\|. :undol :undolist :undol[ist] List the leafs in the tree of changes. Example: number changes when saved ~ 88 88 2010/01/04 14:25:53 108 107 08/07 12:47:51 136 46 13:33:01 7 166 164 3 seconds ago The "number" column is the change number. This number continuously increases and can be used to identify a specific undo-able change, see \|:undo\|. The "changes" column is the number of changes to this leaf from the root of the tree. The "when" column is the date and time when this change was made. The four possible formats are: N seconds ago HH:MM:SS hour, minute, seconds MM/DD HH:MM:SS idem, with month and day YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS idem, with year The "saved" column specifies, if this change was written to disk and which file write it was. This can be used with the \|:later\| and \|:earlier\| commands. For more details use the \|undotree()\| function. g- g- Go to older text state. With a count repeat that many times. :ea :earlier :earlier {count} Go to older text state {count} times. :earlier {N}s Go to older text state about {N} seconds before. :earlier {N}m Go to older text state about {N} minutes before. :earlier {N}h Go to older text state about {N} hours before. :earlier {N}d Go to older text state about {N} days before. :earlier {N}f Go to older text state {N} file writes before. When changes were made since the last write ":earlier 1f" will revert the text to the state when it was written. Otherwise it will go to the write before that. When at the state of the first file write, or when the file was not written, ":earlier 1f" will go to before the first change. g+ g+ Go to newer text state. With a count repeat that many times. :lat :later :later {count} Go to newer text state {count} times. :later {N}s Go to newer text state about {N} seconds later. :later {N}m Go to newer text state about {N} minutes later. :later {N}h Go to newer text state about {N} hours later. :later {N}d Go to newer text state about {N} days later. :later {N}f Go to newer text state {N} file writes later. When at the state of the last file write, ":later 1f" will go to the newest text state. Note that text states will become unreachable when undo information is cleared for 'undolevels'. Don't be surprised when moving through time shows multiple changes to take place at a time. This happens when moving through the undo tree and then making a new change. EXAMPLE Start with this text: one two three ~ Delete the first word by pressing "x" three times: ne two three ~ e two three ~ two three ~ Now undo that by pressing "u" three times: e two three ~ ne two three ~ one two three ~ Delete the second word by pressing "x" three times: one wo three ~ one o three ~ one three ~ Now undo that by using "g-" three times: one o three ~ one wo three ~ two three ~ You are now back in the first undo branch, after deleting "one". Repeating "g-" will now bring you back to the original text: e two three ~ ne two three ~ one two three ~ Jump to the last change with ":later 1h": one three ~ And back to the start again with ":earlier 1h": one two three ~ Note that using "u" and CTRL-R will not get you to all possible text states while repeating "g-" and "g+" does. ============================================================================== 5. Undo persistence undo-persistence persistent-undo When unloading a buffer Vim normally destroys the tree of undos created for that buffer. By setting the 'undofile' option, Vim will automatically save your undo history when you write a file and restore undo history when you edit the file again. The 'undofile' option is checked after writing a file, before the BufWritePost autocommands. If you want to control what files to write undo information for, you can use a BufWritePre autocommand: > au BufWritePre /tmp/* setlocal noundofile Vim saves undo trees in a separate undo file, one for each edited file, using a simple scheme that maps filesystem paths directly to undo files. Vim will detect if an undo file is no longer synchronized with the file it was written for (with a hash of the file contents) and ignore it when the file was changed after the undo file was written, to prevent corruption. An undo file is also ignored if its owner differs from the owner of the edited file, except when the owner of the undo file is the current user. Set 'verbose' to get a message about that when opening a file. Undo files are normally saved in the same directory as the file. This can be changed with the 'undodir' option. When the file is encrypted, the text in the undo file is also crypted. The same key and method is used. \|encryption\| Note that text properties are not stored in the undo file. You can restore text properties so long as a buffer is loaded, but you cannot restore them from an undo file. Rationale: It would require the associated text property types to be defined in exactly the same was as before, which cannot be guaranteed. You can also save and restore undo histories by using ":wundo" and ":rundo" respectively: :wundo :rundo :wundo[!] {file} Write undo history to {file}. When {file} exists and it does not look like an undo file (the magic number at the start of the file is wrong), then this fails, unless the ! was added. If it exists and does look like an undo file it is overwritten. If there is no undo-history, nothing will be written. Implementation detail: Overwriting happens by first deleting the existing file and then creating a new file with the same name. So it is not possible to overwrite an existing undofile in a write-protected directory. :rundo {file} Read undo history from {file}. You can use these in autocommands to explicitly specify the name of the history file. E.g.: > au BufReadPost * call ReadUndo() au BufWritePost * call WriteUndo() func ReadUndo() if filereadable(expand('%:h'). '/UNDO/' . expand('%:t')) rundo %:h/UNDO/%:t endif endfunc func WriteUndo() let dirname = expand('%:h') . '/UNDO' if !isdirectory(dirname) call mkdir(dirname) endif wundo %:h/UNDO/%:t endfunc You should keep 'undofile' off, otherwise you end up with two undo files for every write. You can use the \|undofile()\| function to find out the file name that Vim would use. Note that while reading/writing files and 'undofile' is set most errors will be silent, unless 'verbose' is set. With :wundo and :rundo you will get more error messages, e.g., when the file cannot be read or written. NOTE: undo files are never deleted by Vim. You need to delete them yourself. Reading an existing undo file may fail for several reasons: E822 It cannot be opened, because the file permissions don't allow it. E823 The magic number at the start of the file doesn't match. This usually means it is not an undo file. E824 The version number of the undo file indicates that it's written by a newer version of Vim. You need that newer version to open it. Don't write the buffer if you want to keep the undo info in the file. "File contents changed, cannot use undo info" The file text differs from when the undo file was written. This means the undo file cannot be used, it would corrupt the text. This also happens when 'encoding' differs from when the undo file was written. E825 The undo file does not contain valid contents and cannot be used. E826 The undo file is encrypted but decryption failed. E827 The undo file is encrypted but this version of Vim does not support encryption. Open the file with another Vim. E832 The undo file is encrypted but 'key' is not set, the text file is not encrypted. This would happen if the text file was written by Vim encrypted at first, and later overwritten by not encrypted text. You probably want to delete this undo file. "Not reading undo file, owner differs" The undo file is owned by someone else than the owner of the text file. For safety the undo file is not used. Writing an undo file may fail for these reasons: E828 The file to be written cannot be created. Perhaps you do not have write permissions in the directory. "Cannot write undo file in any directory in 'undodir'" None of the directories in 'undodir' can be used. "Will not overwrite with undo file, cannot read" A file exists with the name of the undo file to be written, but it cannot be read. You may want to delete this file or rename it. "Will not overwrite, this is not an undo file" A file exists with the name of the undo file to be written, but it does not start with the right magic number. You may want to delete this file or rename it. "Skipping undo file write, nothing to undo" There is no undo information to be written, nothing has been changed or 'undolevels' is negative. E829 An error occurred while writing the undo file. You may want to try again. ============================================================================== 6. Remarks about undo undo-remarks The number of changes that are remembered is set with the 'undolevels' option. If it is zero, the Vi-compatible way is always used. If it is negative no undo is possible. Use this if you are running out of memory. clear-undo When you set 'undolevels' to -1 the undo information is not immediately cleared, this happens at the next change. To force clearing the undo information you can use these commands: > :let old_undolevels = &undolevels :set undolevels=-1 :exe "normal a \<BS>\<Esc>" :let &undolevels = old_undolevels :unlet old_undolevels Marks for the buffer ('a to 'z) are also saved and restored, together with the text. When all changes have been undone, the buffer is not considered to be changed. It is then possible to exit Vim with ":q" instead of ":q!". Note that this is relative to the last write of the file. Typing "u" after ":w" actually changes the buffer, compared to what was written, so the buffer is considered changed then. When manual \|folding\| is being used, the folds are not saved and restored. Only changes completely within a fold will keep the fold as it was, because the first and last line of the fold don't change. The numbered registers can also be used for undoing deletes. Each time you delete text, it is put into register "1. The contents of register "1 are shifted to "2, etc. The contents of register "9 are lost. You can now get back the most recent deleted text with the put command: '"1P'. (also, if the deleted text was the result of the last delete or copy operation, 'P' or 'p' also works as this puts the contents of the unnamed register). You can get back the text of three deletes ago with '"3P'. redo-register If you want to get back more than one part of deleted text, you can use a special feature of the repeat command ".". It will increase the number of the register used. So if you first do '"1P', the following "." will result in a '"2P'. Repeating this will result in all numbered registers being inserted. Example: If you deleted text with 'dd....' it can be restored with '"1P....'. If you don't know in which register the deleted text is, you can use the :display command. An alternative is to try the first register with '"1P', and if it is not what you want do 'u.'. This will remove the contents of the first put, and repeat the put command for the second register. Repeat the 'u.' until you got what you want. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	16.2 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_01.txt usr_01.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Nov 21 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar About the manuals This chapter introduces the manuals available with Vim. Read this to know the conditions under which the commands are explained. \|01.1\| Two manuals \|01.2\| Vim installed \|01.3\| Using the Vim tutor \|01.4\| Copyright Next chapter: \|usr_02.txt\| The first steps in Vim Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 01.1 Two manuals The Vim documentation consists of two parts: 1. The User manual Task oriented explanations, from simple to complex. Reads from start to end like a book. 2. The Reference manual Precise description of how everything in Vim works. The notation used in these manuals is explained here: \|notation\| JUMPING AROUND The text contains hyperlinks between the two parts, allowing you to quickly jump between the description of an editing task and a precise explanation of the commands and options used for it. Use these two commands: Press CTRL-] to jump to a subject under the cursor. Press CTRL-O to jump back (repeat to go further back). Many links are in vertical bars, like this: \|bars\|. The bars themselves may be hidden or invisible; see below. An option name, like 'number', a command in double quotes like ":write" and any other word can also be used as a link. Try it out: Move the cursor to CTRL-] and press CTRL-] on it. Other subjects can be found with the ":help" command; see \|help.txt\|. The bars and stars are usually hidden with the \|conceal\| feature. They also use \|hl-Ignore\|, using the same color for the text as the background. You can make them visible with: > :set conceallevel=0 :hi link HelpBar Normal :hi link HelpStar Normal ============================================================================== 01.2 Vim installed Most of the manuals assume that Vim has been properly installed. If you didn't do that yet, or if Vim doesn't run properly (e.g., files can't be found or in the GUI the menus do not show up) first read the chapter on installation: \|usr_90.txt\|. not-compatible The manuals often assume you are using Vim with Vi-compatibility switched off. For most commands this doesn't matter, but sometimes it is important, e.g., for multi-level undo. An easy way to make sure you are using a nice setup is to copy the example vimrc file. By doing this inside Vim you don't have to check out where it is located. How to do this depends on the system you are using: Unix: > :!cp -i $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim ~/.vimrc MS-Windows: > :!copy $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim $VIM/_vimrc Amiga: > :!copy $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim $VIM/.vimrc If the file already exists you probably want to keep it. If you start Vim now, the 'compatible' option should be off. You can check it with this command: > :set compatible? If it responds with "nocompatible" you are doing well. If the response is "compatible" you are in trouble. You will have to find out why the option is still set. Perhaps the file you wrote above is not found. Use this command to find out: > :scriptnames If your file is not in the list, check its location and name. If it is in the list, there must be some other place where the 'compatible' option is switched back on. For more info see \|vimrc\| and \|compatible-default\|. Note: This manual is about using Vim in the normal way. There is an alternative called "evim" (easy Vim). This is still Vim, but used in a way that resembles a click-and-type editor like Notepad. It always stays in Insert mode, thus it feels very different. It is not explained in the user manual, since it should be mostly self-explanatory. See \|evim-keys\| for details. ============================================================================== 01.3 Using the Vim tutor tutor vimtutor Instead of reading the text (boring!) you can use the vimtutor to learn your first Vim commands. This is a 30-minute tutorial that teaches the most basic Vim functionality hands-on. On Unix, if Vim has been properly installed, you can start it from the shell: > vimtutor On MS-Windows you can find it in the Program/Vim menu. Or execute vimtutor.bat in the $VIMRUNTIME directory. This will make a copy of the tutor file, so that you can edit it without the risk of damaging the original. There are a few translated versions of the tutor. To find out if yours is available, use the two-letter language code. For French: > vimtutor fr On Unix, if you prefer using the GUI version of Vim, use "gvimtutor" or "vimtutor -g" instead of "vimtutor". For OpenVMS, if Vim has been properly installed, you can start vimtutor from a VMS prompt with: > @VIM:vimtutor Optionally add the two-letter language code as above. On other systems, you have to do a little work: 1. Copy the tutor file. You can do this with Vim (it knows where to find it): > vim --clean -c 'e $VIMRUNTIME/tutor/tutor' -c 'w! TUTORCOPY' -c 'q' < This will write the file "TUTORCOPY" in the current directory. To use a translated version of the tutor, append the two-letter language code to the filename. For French: > vim --clean -c 'e $VIMRUNTIME/tutor/tutor.fr' -c 'w! TUTORCOPY' -c 'q' < 2. Edit the copied file with Vim: > vim --clean TUTORCOPY < The --clean argument makes sure Vim is started with nice defaults. 3. Delete the copied file when you are finished with it: > del TUTORCOPY < ============================================================================== 01.4 Copyright manual-copyright The Vim user manual and reference manual are Copyright (c) 1988-2003 by Bram Moolenaar.

📄 usr_02.txt usr_02.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Nov 21 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar The first steps in Vim This chapter provides just enough information to edit a file with Vim. Not well or fast, but you can edit. Take some time to practice with these commands, they form the base for what follows. \|02.1\| Running Vim for the First Time \|02.2\| Inserting text \|02.3\| Moving around \|02.4\| Deleting characters \|02.5\| Undo and Redo \|02.6\| Other editing commands \|02.7\| Getting out \|02.8\| Finding help Next chapter: \|usr_03.txt\| Moving around Previous chapter: \|usr_01.txt\| About the manuals Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 02.1 Running Vim for the First Time To start Vim, enter this command: > gvim file.txt In UNIX you can type this at any command prompt. If you are running Microsoft Windows, open a Command Prompt and enter the command. In either case, Vim starts editing a file called file.txt. Because this is a new file, you get a blank window. This is what your screen will look like: +---------------------------------------+ \|# \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|"file.txt" [New file] \| +---------------------------------------+ ('#" is the cursor position.) The tilde (~) lines indicate lines not in the file. In other words, when Vim runs out of file to display, it displays tilde lines. At the bottom of the screen, a message line indicates the file is named file.txt and shows that you are creating a new file. The message information is temporary and other information overwrites it. THE VIM COMMAND The gvim command causes the editor to create a new window for editing. If you use this command: > vim file.txt the editing occurs inside your command window. In other words, if you are running inside an xterm, the editor uses your xterm window. If you are using an MS-Windows command prompt window, the editing occurs inside this window. The text in the window will look the same for both versions, but with gvim you have extra features, like a menu bar. More about that later. ============================================================================== 02.2 Inserting text The Vim editor is a modal editor. That means that the editor behaves differently, depending on which mode you are in. The two basic modes are called Normal mode and Insert mode. In Normal mode the characters you type are commands. In Insert mode the characters are inserted as text. Since you have just started Vim it will be in Normal mode. To start Insert mode you type the "i" command (i for Insert). Then you can enter the text. It will be inserted into the file. Do not worry if you make mistakes; you can correct them later. To enter the following programmer's limerick, this is what you type: > iA very intelligent turtle Found programming UNIX a hurdle After typing "turtle" you press the <Enter> key to start a new line. Finally you press the <Esc> key to stop Insert mode and go back to Normal mode. You now have two lines of text in your Vim window: +---------------------------------------+ \|A very intelligent turtle \| \|Found programming UNIX a hurdle \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \| \| +---------------------------------------+ WHAT IS THE MODE? To be able to see what mode you are in, type this command: > :set showmode You will notice that when typing the colon Vim moves the cursor to the last line of the window. That's where you type colon commands (commands that start with a colon). Finish this command by pressing the <Enter> key (all commands that start with a colon are finished this way). Now, if you type the "i" command Vim will display --INSERT-- at the bottom of the window. This indicates you are in Insert mode. +---------------------------------------+ \|A very intelligent turtle \| \|Found programming UNIX a hurdle \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|-- INSERT -- \| +---------------------------------------+ If you press <Esc> to go back to Normal mode the last line will be made blank. GETTING OUT OF TROUBLE One of the problems for Vim novices is mode confusion, which is caused by forgetting which mode you are in or by accidentally typing a command that switches modes. To get back to Normal mode, no matter what mode you are in, press the <Esc> key. Sometimes you have to press it twice. If Vim beeps back at you, you already are in Normal mode. ============================================================================== 02.3 Moving around After you return to Normal mode, you can move around by using these keys: h left hjkl j down k up l right At first, it may appear that these commands were chosen at random. After all, who ever heard of using l for right? But actually, there is a very good reason for these choices: Moving the cursor is the most common thing you do in an editor, and these keys are on the home row of your right hand. In other words, these commands are placed where you can type them the fastest (especially when you type with ten fingers). Note: You can also move the cursor by using the arrow keys. If you do, however, you greatly slow down your editing because to press the arrow keys, you must move your hand from the text keys to the arrow keys. Considering that you might be doing it hundreds of times an hour, this can take a significant amount of time. Also, there are keyboards which do not have arrow keys, or which locate them in unusual places; therefore, knowing the use of the hjkl keys helps in those situations. One way to remember these commands is that h is on the left, l is on the right and j points down. In a picture: > k h l j The best way to learn these commands is by using them. Use the "i" command to insert some more lines of text. Then use the hjkl keys to move around and insert a word somewhere. Don't forget to press <Esc> to go back to Normal mode. The \|vimtutor\| is also a nice way to learn by doing. For Japanese users, Hiroshi Iwatani suggested using this: Komsomolsk ^ \| Huan Ho <--- ---> Los Angeles (Yellow river) \| v Java (the island, not the programming language) ============================================================================== 02.4 Deleting characters To delete a character, move the cursor over it and type "x". (This is a throwback to the old days of the typewriter, when you deleted things by typing xxxx over them.) Move the cursor to the beginning of the first line, for example, and type xxxxxxx (seven x's) to delete "A very ". The result should look like this: +---------------------------------------+ \|intelligent turtle \| \|Found programming UNIX a hurdle \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \| \| +---------------------------------------+ Now you can insert new text, for example by typing: > iA young <Esc> This begins an insert (the i), inserts the words "A young", and then exits insert mode (the final <Esc>). The result: +---------------------------------------+ \|A young intelligent turtle \| \|Found programming UNIX a hurdle \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \| \| +---------------------------------------+ DELETING A LINE To delete a whole line use the "dd" command. The following line will then move up to fill the gap: +---------------------------------------+ \|Found programming UNIX a hurdle \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \| \| +---------------------------------------+ DELETING A LINE BREAK In Vim you can join two lines together, which means that the line break between them is deleted. The "J" command does this. Take these two lines: A young intelligent ~ turtle ~ Move the cursor to the first line and press "J": A young intelligent turtle ~ ============================================================================== 02.5 Undo and Redo Suppose you delete too much. Well, you can type it in again, but an easier way exists. The "u" command undoes the last edit. Take a look at this in action: After using "dd" to delete the first line, "u" brings it back. Another one: Move the cursor to the A in the first line: A young intelligent turtle ~ Now type xxxxxxx to delete "A young". The result is as follows: intelligent turtle ~ Type "u" to undo the last delete. That delete removed the g, so the undo restores the character. g intelligent turtle ~ The next "u" command restores the next-to-last character deleted: ng intelligent turtle ~ The next "u" command gives you the u, and so on: ung intelligent turtle ~ oung intelligent turtle ~ young intelligent turtle ~ young intelligent turtle ~ A young intelligent turtle ~ Note: If you type "u" twice, and the result is that you get the same text back, you have Vim configured to work Vi compatible. Look here to fix this: \|not-compatible\|. This text assumes you work "The Vim Way". You might prefer to use the good old Vi way, but you will have to watch out for small differences in the text then. REDO If you undo too many times, you can press CTRL-R (redo) to reverse the preceding command. In other words, it undoes the undo. To see this in action, press CTRL-R twice. The character A and the space after it disappear: young intelligent turtle ~ There's a special version of the undo command, the "U" (undo line) command. The undo line command undoes all the changes made on the last line that was edited. Typing this command twice cancels the preceding "U". A very intelligent turtle ~ xxxx Delete very A intelligent turtle ~ xxxxxx Delete turtle A intelligent ~ Restore line with "U" A very intelligent turtle ~ Undo "U" with "u" A intelligent ~ The "U" command is a change by itself, which the "u" command undoes and CTRL-R redoes. This might be a bit confusing. Don't worry, with "u" and CTRL-R you can go to any of the situations you had. More about that in section \|32.2\|. ============================================================================== 02.6 Other editing commands Vim has a large number of commands to change the text. See \|Q_in\| and below. Here are a few often used ones. APPENDING The "i" command inserts a character before the character under the cursor. That works fine; but what happens if you want to add stuff to the end of the line? For that you need to insert text after the cursor. This is done with the "a" (append) command. For example, to change the line and that's not saying much for the turtle. ~ to and that's not saying much for the turtle!!! ~ move the cursor over to the dot at the end of the line. Then type "x" to delete the period. The cursor is now positioned at the end of the line on the e in turtle. Now type > a!!!<Esc> to append three exclamation points after the e in turtle: and that's not saying much for the turtle!!! ~ OPENING UP A NEW LINE The "o" command creates a new, empty line below the cursor and puts Vim in Insert mode. Then you can type the text for the new line. Suppose the cursor is somewhere in the first of these two lines: A very intelligent turtle ~ Found programming UNIX a hurdle ~ If you now use the "o" command and type new text: > oThat liked using Vim<Esc> The result is: A very intelligent turtle ~ That liked using Vim ~ Found programming UNIX a hurdle ~ The "O" command (uppercase) opens a line above the cursor. USING A COUNT Suppose you want to move up nine lines. You can type "kkkkkkkkk" or you can enter the command "9k". In fact, you can precede many commands with a number. Earlier in this chapter, for instance, you added three exclamation points to the end of a line by typing "a!!!<Esc>". Another way to do this is to use the command "3a!<Esc>". The count of 3 tells the command that follows to triple its effect. Similarly, to delete three characters, use the command "3x". The count always comes before the command it applies to. ============================================================================== 02.7 Getting out To exit, use the "ZZ" command. This command writes the file and exits. Note: Unlike many other editors, Vim does not automatically make a backup file. If you type "ZZ", your changes are committed and there's no turning back. You can configure the Vim editor to produce backup files; see \|07.4\|. DISCARDING CHANGES Sometimes you will make a sequence of changes and suddenly realize you were better off before you started. Not to worry; Vim has a quit-and-throw-things-away command. It is: > :q! Don't forget to press <Enter> to finish the command. For those of you interested in the details, the three parts of this command are the colon (:), which enters Command-line mode; the q command, which tells the editor to quit; and the override command modifier (!). The override command modifier is needed because Vim is reluctant to throw away changes. If you were to just type ":q", Vim would display an error message and refuse to exit: E37: No write since last change (use ! to override) ~ By specifying the override, you are in effect telling Vim, "I know that what I'm doing looks stupid, but I really want to do this." If you want to continue editing with Vim: The ":e!" command reloads the original version of the file. ============================================================================== 02.8 Finding help Everything you always wanted to know can be found in the Vim help files. Don't be afraid to ask! If you know what you are looking for, it is usually easier to search for it using the help system, instead of using Google. Because the subjects follow a certain style guide. Also the help has the advantage of belonging to your particular Vim version. You won't see help for commands added later. These would not work for you. To get generic help use this command: > :help You could also use the first function key <F1>. If your keyboard has a <Help> key it might work as well. If you don't supply a subject, ":help" displays the general help window. The creators of Vim did something very clever (or very lazy) with the help system: They made the help window a normal editing window. You can use all the normal Vim commands to move through the help information. Therefore h, j, k, and l move left, down, up and right. To get out of the help window, use the same command you use to get out of the editor: "ZZ". This will only close the help window, not exit Vim. As you read the help text, you will notice some text enclosed in vertical bars (for example, \|help\|). This indicates a hyperlink. If you position the cursor anywhere between the bars and press CTRL-] (jump to tag), the help system takes you to the indicated subject. (For reasons not discussed here, the Vim terminology for a hyperlink is tag. So CTRL-] jumps to the location of the tag given by the word under the cursor.) After a few jumps, you might want to go back. CTRL-T (pop tag) takes you back to the preceding position. CTRL-O (jump to older position) also works nicely here. At the top of the help screen, there is the notation help.txt. This name between "" characters is used by the help system to define a tag (hyperlink destination). See \|29.1\| for details about using tags. To get help on a given subject, use the following command: > :help {subject} To get help on the "x" command, for example, enter the following: > :help x To find out how to delete text, use this command: > :help deleting To get a complete index of all Vim commands, use the following command: > :help index When you need to get help for a control character command (for example, CTRL-A), you need to spell it with the prefix "CTRL-". > :help CTRL-A The Vim editor has many different modes. By default, the help system displays the normal-mode commands. For example, the following command displays help for the normal-mode CTRL-H command: > :help CTRL-H To identify other modes, use a mode prefix. If you want the help for the insert-mode version of a command, use "i_". For CTRL-H this gives you the following command: > :help i_CTRL-H When you start the Vim editor, you can use several command-line arguments. These all begin with a dash (-). To find what the -t argument does, for example, use the command: > :help -t The Vim editor has a number of options that enable you to configure and customize the editor. If you want help for an option, you need to enclose it in single quotation marks. To find out what the 'number' option does, for example, use the following command: > :help 'number' The table with all mode prefixes can be found below: \|help-summary\|. Special keys are enclosed in angle brackets. To find help on the up-arrow key in Insert mode, for instance, use this command: > :help i_<Up> If you see an error message that you don't understand, for example: E37: No write since last change (use ! to override) ~ You can use the error ID at the start to find help about it: > :help E37 Summary: help-summary* > 1) Use Ctrl-D after typing a topic and let Vim show all available topics. Or press Tab to complete: > :help some<Tab> < More information on how to use the help: > :help helphelp 2) Follow the links in bars to related help. You can go from the detailed help to the user documentation, which describes certain commands more from a user perspective and less detailed. E.g. after: > :help pattern.txt < You can see the user guide topics \|03.9\| and \|usr_27.txt\| in the introduction. 3) Options are enclosed in single apostrophes. To go to the help topic for the list option: > :help 'list' < If you only know you are looking for a certain option, you can also do: > :help options.txt < to open the help page which describes all option handling and then search using regular expressions, e.g. textwidth. Certain options have their own namespace, e.g.: > :help cpo-<letter> < for the corresponding flag of the 'cpoptions' settings, substitute <letter> by a specific flag, e.g.: > :help cpo-; < And for the guioption flags: > :help go-<letter> 4) Normal mode commands do not have a prefix. To go to the help page for the "gt" command: > :help gt 5) Insert mode commands start with i_. Help for deleting a word: > :help i_CTRL-W 6) Visual mode commands start with v_. Help for jumping to the other side of the Visual area: > :help v_o 7) Command line editing and arguments start with c_. Help for using the command argument %: > :help c_% 8) Ex-commands always start with ":", so to go to the ":s" command help: > :help :s 9) Commands specifically for debugging start with ">". To go to the help for the "cont" debug command: > :help >cont 10) Key combinations. They usually start with a single letter indicating the mode for which they can be used. E.g.: > :help i_CTRL-X < takes you to the family of CTRL-X commands for insert mode which can be used to auto-complete different things. Note, that certain keys will always be written the same, e.g. Control will always be CTRL. For normal mode commands there is no prefix and the topic is available at :h CTRL-<Letter>. E.g. > :help CTRL-W < In contrast > :help c_CTRL-R < will describe what the CTRL-R does when entering commands in the Command line and > :help v_CTRL-A < talks about incrementing numbers in visual mode and > :help g_CTRL-A < talks about the "g<C-A>" command (e.g. you have to press "g" then <CTRL-A>). Here the "g" stands for the normal command "g" which always expects a second key before doing something similar to the commands starting with "z". 11) Regexp items always start with /. So to get help for the "\+" quantifier in Vim regexes: > :help /\+ < If you need to know everything about regular expressions, start reading at: > :help pattern.txt 12) Registers always start with "quote". To find out about the special ":" register: > :help quote: 13) Vim script is available at > :help eval.txt < Certain aspects of the language are available at :h expr-X where "X" is a single letter. E.g. > :help expr-! < will take you to the topic describing the "!" (Not) operator for Vim script. Also important is > :help function-list < to find a short description of all functions available. Help topics for Vim script functions always include the "()", so: > :help append() < talks about the append Vim script function rather than how to append text in the current buffer. 14) Mappings are talked about in the help page :h \|map.txt\|. Use > :help mapmode-i < to find out about the \|:imap\| command. Also use :map-topic to find out about certain subtopics particular for mappings. e.g: > :help :map-local < for buffer-local mappings or > :help map-bar < for how the '\|' is handled in mappings. 15) Command definitions are talked about :h command-topic, so use > :help command-bar < to find out about the '!' argument for custom commands. 16) Window management commands always start with CTRL-W, so you find the corresponding help at :h CTRL-W_letter. E.g. > :help CTRL-W_p < for moving the previous accessed window. You can also access > :help windows.txt < and read your way through if you are looking for window handling commands. 17) Use \|:helpgrep\| to search in all help pages (and also of any installed plugins). See \|:helpgrep\| for how to use it. To search for a topic: > :helpgrep topic < This takes you to the first match. To go to the next one: > :cnext < All matches are available in the quickfix window which can be opened with: > :copen < Move around to the match you like and press Enter to jump to that help. 18) The user manual. This describes help topics for beginners in a rather friendly way. Start at \|usr_toc.txt\| to find the table of content (as you might have guessed): > :help usr_toc.txt < Skim over the contents to find interesting topics. The "Digraphs" and "Entering special characters" items are in chapter 24, so to go to that particular help page: > :help usr_24.txt < Also if you want to access a certain chapter in the help, the chapter number can be accessed directly like this: > :help 10.1 < which goes to chapter 10.1 in \|usr_10.txt\| and talks about recording macros. 19) Highlighting groups. Always start with hl-groupname. E.g. > :help hl-WarningMsg < talks about the WarningMsg highlighting group. 20) Syntax highlighting is namespaced to :syn-topic. E.g. > :help :syn-conceal < talks about the conceal argument for the ":syn" command. 21) Quickfix commands usually start with :c while location list commands usually start with :l 22) Autocommand events can be found by their name: > :help BufWinLeave < To see all possible events: > :help autocommand-events 23) Command-line switches always start with "-". So for the help of the -f command switch of Vim use: > :help -f 24) Optional features always start with "+". To find out about the conceal feature use: > :help +conceal 25) Documentation for included filetype specific functionality is usually available in the form ft-<filetype>-<functionality>. So > :help ft-c-syntax < talks about the C syntax file and the option it provides. Sometimes, additional sections for omni completion > :help ft-php-omni < or filetype plugins > :help ft-tex-plugin < are available. 26) Error and Warning codes can be looked up directly in the help. So > :help E297 < takes you exactly to the description of the swap error message and > :help W10 < talks about the warning "Changing a readonly file". Sometimes, however, those error codes are not described, but rather are listed at the Vim command that usually causes this. So: > :help E128 < takes you to the \|:function\| command ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_03.txt\| Moving around Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	23.66 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_03.txt usr_03.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Sep 03 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Moving around Before you can insert or delete text the cursor has to be moved to the right place. Vim has a large number of commands to position the cursor. This chapter shows you how to use the most important ones. You can find a list of these commands below \|Q_lr\|. \|03.1\| Word movement \|03.2\| Moving to the start or end of a line \|03.3\| Moving to a character \|03.4\| Matching a parenthesis \|03.5\| Moving to a specific line \|03.6\| Telling where you are \|03.7\| Scrolling around \|03.8\| Simple searches \|03.9\| Simple search patterns \|03.10\| Using marks Next chapter: \|usr_04.txt\| Making small changes Previous chapter: \|usr_02.txt\| The first steps in Vim Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 03.1 Word movement To move the cursor forward one word, use the "w" command. Like most Vim commands, you can use a numeric prefix to move past multiple words. For example, "3w" moves three words. This figure shows how it works (starting at the position marked with "x"): This is a line with example text ~ x-->-->->-----------------> w w w 3w Notice that "w" moves to the start of the next word if it already is at the start of a word. The "b" command moves backward to the start of the previous word: This is a line with example text ~ <----<--<-<---------<--x b b b 2b b There is also the "e" command that moves to the next end of a word and "ge", which moves to the previous end of a word: This is a line with example text ~ <----<----x---->------------> 2ge ge e 2e If you are at the last word of a line, the "w" command will take you to the first word in the next line. Thus you can use this to move through a paragraph, much faster than using "l". "b" does the same in the other direction. A word ends at a non-word character, such as a ".", "-" or ")". To change what Vim considers to be a word, see the 'iskeyword' option. If you try this out in the help directly, 'iskeyword' needs to be reset for the examples to work: > :set iskeyword& It is also possible to move by white-space separated WORDs. This is not a word in the normal sense, that's why the uppercase is used. The commands for moving by WORDs are also uppercase, as this figure shows: ge b w e <- <- ---> ---> This is-a line, with special/separated/words (and some more). ~ <----- <----- --------------------> -----> gE B W E With this mix of lowercase and uppercase commands, you can quickly move forward and backward through a paragraph. ============================================================================== 03.2 Moving to the start or end of a line The "$" command moves the cursor to the end of a line. If your keyboard has an <End> key it will do the same thing. The "^" command moves to the first non-blank character of the line. The "0" command (zero) moves to the very first character of the line, and the <Home> key does the same thing. In a picture ("." indicates a space): ^ <-----------x .....This is a line with example text ~ <----------------x x--------------> 0 $ (the "....." indicates blanks here) The "$" command takes a count, like most movement commands. But moving to the end of the line several times doesn't make sense. Therefore it causes the editor to move to the end of another line. For example, "1$" moves you to the end of the first line (the one you're on), "2$" to the end of the next line, and so on. The "0" command doesn't take a count argument, because the "0" would be part of the count. Unexpectedly, using a count with "^" doesn't have any effect. ============================================================================== 03.3 Moving to a character One of the most useful movement commands is the single-character search command. The command "fx" searches forward in the line for the single character x. Hint: "f" stands for "Find". For example, you are at the beginning of the following line. Suppose you want to go to the h of human. Just execute the command "fh" and the cursor will be positioned over the h: To err is human. To really foul up you need a computer. ~ ---------->---------------> fh fy This also shows that the command "fy" moves to the end of the word really. You can specify a count; therefore, you can go to the "l" of "foul" with "3fl": To err is human. To really foul up you need a computer. ~ ---------------------> 3fl The "F" command searches to the left: To err is human. To really foul up you need a computer. ~ <--------------------- Fh The "tx" command works like the "fx" command, except it stops one character before the searched character. Hint: "t" stands for "To". The backward version of this command is "Tx". To err is human. To really foul up you need a computer. ~ <------------ -------------> Th tn These four commands can be repeated with ";". "," repeats in the other direction. The cursor is never moved to another line. Not even when the sentence continues. Sometimes you will start a search, only to realize that you have typed the wrong command. You type "f" to search backward, for example, only to realize that you really meant "F". To abort a search, press <Esc>. So "f<Esc>" is an aborted forward search and doesn't do anything. Note: <Esc> cancels most operations, not just searches. ============================================================================== 03.4 Matching a parenthesis When writing a program you often end up with nested () constructs. Then the "%" command is very handy: It moves to the matching paren. If the cursor is on a "(" it will move to the matching ")". If it's on a ")" it will move to the matching "(". % <-----> if (a == (b * c) / d) ~ <----------------> % This also works for [] and {} pairs. (This can be defined with the 'matchpairs' option.) When the cursor is not on a useful character, "%" will search forward to find one. Thus if the cursor is at the start of the line of the previous example, "%" will search forward and find the first "(". Then it moves to its match: if (a == (b * c) / d) ~ ---+----------------> % ============================================================================== 03.5 Moving to a specific line If you are a C or C++ programmer, you are familiar with error messages such as the following: prog.c:33: j undeclared (first use in this function) ~ This tells you that you might want to fix something on line 33. So how do you find line 33? One way is to do "9999k" to go to the top of the file and "32j" to go down thirty-two lines. It is not a good way, but it works. A much better way of doing things is to use the "G" command. With a count, this command positions you at the given line number. For example, "33G" puts you on line 33. (For a better way of going through a compiler's error list, see \|usr_30.txt\|, for information on the :make command.) With no argument, "G" positions you at the end of the file. A quick way to go to the start of a file use "gg". "1G" will do the same, but is a tiny bit more typing. \| first line of a file ^ \| text text text text \| \| text text text text \| gg 7G \| text text text text \| \| text text text text \| text text text text V text text text text \| text text text text \| G text text text text \| last line of a file V Another way to move to a line is using the "%" command with a count. For example "50%" moves you to halfway the file. "90%" goes to near the end. The previous assumes that you want to move to a line in the file, no matter if it's currently visible or not. What if you want to move to one of the lines you can see? This figure shows the three commands you can use: +---------------------------+ H --> \| text sample text \| \| sample text \| \| text sample text \| \| sample text \| M --> \| text sample text \| \| sample text \| \| text sample text \| \| sample text \| L --> \| text sample text \| +---------------------------+ Hints: "H" stands for Home, "M" for Middle and "L" for Last. Alternatively, "H" for high, "M" for Middle and "L" for low. ============================================================================== 03.6 Telling where you are To see where you are in a file, there are three ways: 1. Use the CTRL-G command. You get a message like this (assuming the 'ruler' option is off): "usr_03.txt" line 233 of 650 --35%-- col 45-52 ~ This shows the name of the file you are editing, the line number where the cursor is, the total number of lines, the percentage of the way through the file and the column of the cursor. Sometimes you will see a split column number. For example, "col 2-9". This indicates that the cursor is positioned on the second character, but because character one is a tab, occupying eight spaces worth of columns, the screen column is 9. 2. Set the 'number' option. This will display a line number in front of every line: > :set number < To switch this off again: > :set nonumber < Since 'number' is a boolean option, prepending "no" to its name has the effect of switching it off. A boolean option has only these two values, it is either on or off. Vim has many options. Besides the boolean ones there are options with a numerical value and string options. You will see examples of this where they are used. 3. Set the 'ruler' option. This will display the cursor position in the lower right corner of the Vim window: > :set ruler Using the 'ruler' option has the advantage that it doesn't take much room, thus there is more space for your text. ============================================================================== 03.7 Scrolling around The CTRL-U command scrolls down half a screen of text. Think of looking through a viewing window at the text and moving this window up by half the height of the window. Thus the window moves up over the text, which is backward in the file. Don't worry if you have a little trouble remembering which end is up. Most users have the same problem. The CTRL-D command moves the viewing window down half a screen in the file, thus scrolls the text up half a screen. +----------------+ \| some text \| \| some text \| \| some text \| +---------------+ \| some text \| \| some text \| CTRL-U --> \| \| \| \| \| 123456 \| \| 123456 \| +----------------+ \| 7890 \| \| \| +----------------+ \| example \| CTRL-D --> \| 7890 \| +---------------+ \| \| \| example \| \| example \| \| example \| \| example \| +----------------+ To scroll one line at a time use CTRL-E (scroll up) and CTRL-Y (scroll down). Think of CTRL-E to give you one line Extra. (If you use MS-Windows compatible key mappings CTRL-Y will redo a change instead of scroll.) To scroll forward by a whole screen (except for two lines) use CTRL-F. To scroll backwards, use CTRL-B. These should be easy to remember: F for Forwards and B for Backwards. A common issue is that after moving down many lines with "j" your cursor is at the bottom of the screen. You would like to see the context of the line with the cursor. That's done with the "zz" command. +------------------+ +------------------+ \| earlier text \| \| earlier text \| \| earlier text \| \| earlier text \| \| earlier text \| \| earlier text \| \| earlier text \| zz --> \| line with cursor \| \| earlier text \| \| later text \| \| earlier text \| \| later text \| \| line with cursor \| \| later text \| +------------------+ +------------------+ The "zt" command puts the cursor line at the top, "zb" at the bottom. There are a few more scrolling commands, see \|Q_sc\|. To always keep a few lines of context around the cursor, use the 'scrolloff' option. ============================================================================== 03.8 Simple searches To search for a string, use the "/string" command. To find the word include, for example, use the command: > /include You will notice that when you type the "/" the cursor jumps to the last line of the Vim window, like with colon commands. That is where you type the word. You can press the backspace key (backarrow or <BS>) to make corrections. Use the <Left> and <Right> cursor keys when necessary. Pressing <Enter> executes the command. Note: The characters .[]^%/\?~$ have special meanings. If you want to use them in a search you must put a \ in front of them. See below. To find the next occurrence of the same string use the "n" command. Use this to find the first #include after the cursor: > /#include And then type "n" several times. You will move to each #include in the text. You can also use a count if you know which match you want. Thus "3n" finds the third match. You can also use a count with "/": "4/the" goes to the fourth match of "the". The "?" command works like "/" but searches backwards: > ?word The "N" command repeats the last search the opposite direction. Thus using "N" after a "/" command searches backwards, using "N" after "?" searches forwards. IGNORING CASE Normally you have to type exactly what you want to find. If you don't care about upper or lowercase in a word, set the 'ignorecase' option: > :set ignorecase If you now search for "word", it will also match "Word" and "WORD". To match case again: > :set noignorecase HISTORY Suppose you do three searches: > /one /two /three Now let's start searching by typing a simple "/" without pressing <Enter>. If you press <Up> (the cursor key), Vim puts "/three" on the command line. Pressing <Enter> at this point searches for three. If you do not press <Enter>, but press <Up> instead, Vim changes the prompt to "/two". Another press of <Up> moves you to "/one". You can also use the <Down> cursor key to move through the history of search commands in the other direction. If you know what a previously used pattern starts with, and you want to use it again, type that character before pressing <Up>. With the previous example, you can type "/o<Up>" and Vim will put "/one" on the command line. The commands starting with ":" also have a history. That allows you to recall a previous command and execute it again. These two histories are separate. SEARCHING FOR A WORD IN THE TEXT Suppose you see the word "TheLongFunctionName" in the text and you want to find the next occurrence of it. You could type "/TheLongFunctionName", but that's a lot of typing. And when you make a mistake Vim won't find it. There is an easier way: Position the cursor on the word and use the "" command. Vim will grab the word under the cursor and use it as the search string. The "#" command does the same in the other direction. You can prepend a count: "3" searches for the third occurrence of the word under the cursor. SEARCHING FOR WHOLE WORDS If you type "/the" it will also match "there". To only find words that end in "the" use: > /the\> The "\>" item is a special marker that only matches at the end of a word. Similarly "\<" only matches at the beginning of a word. Thus to search for the word "the" only: > /\<the\> This does not match "there" or "soothe". Notice that the "" and "#" commands use these start-of-word and end-of-word markers to only find whole words (you can use "g" and "g#" to match partial words). HIGHLIGHTING MATCHES While editing a program you see a variable called "nr". You want to check where it's used. You could move the cursor to "nr" and use the "" command and press "n" to go along all the matches. There is another way. Type this command: > :set hlsearch If you now search for "nr", Vim will highlight all matches. That is a very good way to see where the variable is used, without the need to type commands. To switch this off: > :set nohlsearch Then you need to switch it on again if you want to use it for the next search command. If you only want to remove the highlighting, use this command: > :nohlsearch This doesn't reset the option. Instead, it disables the highlighting. As soon as you execute a search command, the highlighting will be used again. Also for the "n" and "N" commands. TUNING SEARCHES There are a few options that change how searching works. These are the essential ones: > :set incsearch This makes Vim display the match for the string while you are still typing it. Use this to check if the right match will be found. Then press <Enter> to really jump to that location. Or type more to change the search string. > :set nowrapscan This stops the search at the end of the file. Or, when you are searching backwards, it stops the search at the start of the file. The 'wrapscan' option is on by default, thus searching wraps around the end of the file. INTERMEZZO If you like one of the options mentioned before, and set it each time you use Vim, you can put the command in your Vim startup file. Edit the file, as mentioned at \|not-compatible\|. Or use this command to find out where it is: > :scriptnames Edit the file, for example with: > :edit ~/.vimrc Then add a line with the command to set the option, just like you typed it in Vim. Example: > Go:set hlsearch<Esc> "G" moves to the end of the file. "o" starts a new line, where you type the ":set" command. You end insert mode with <Esc>. Then write and close the file: > ZZ If you now start Vim again, the 'hlsearch' option will already be set. ============================================================================== 03.9 Simple search patterns The Vim editor uses regular expressions to specify what to search for. Regular expressions are an extremely powerful and compact way to specify a search pattern. Unfortunately, this power comes at a price, because regular expressions are a bit tricky to specify. In this section we mention only a few essential ones. More about search patterns and commands can be found in chapter 27 \|usr_27.txt\|. You can find the full explanation here: \|pattern\|. BEGINNING AND END OF A LINE The ^ character matches the beginning of a line. On an English-US keyboard you find it above the 6. The pattern "include" matches the word include anywhere on the line. But the pattern "^include" matches the word include only if it is at the beginning of a line. The $ character matches the end of a line. Therefore, "was$" matches the word was only if it is at the end of a line. Let's mark the places where "/the" matches in this example line with "x"s: the solder holding one of the chips melted and the ~ xxx xxx xxx Using "/the$" we find this match: the solder holding one of the chips melted and the ~ xxx And with "/^the" we find this one: the solder holding one of the chips melted and the ~ xxx You can try searching with "/^the$"; it will only match a single line consisting entirely of "the". White space does matter here, thus if a line contains a space after the word, like "the ", the pattern will not match. MATCHING ANY SINGLE CHARACTER The . (dot) character matches any existing character. For example, the pattern "c.m" matches a string whose first character is a c, whose second character is anything, and whose third character is m. Example: We use a computer that became the cummin winter. ~ xxx xxx xxx MATCHING SPECIAL CHARACTERS If you really want to match a dot, you must avoid its special meaning by putting a backslash before it. If you search for "ter.", you will find these matches: We use a computer that became the cummin winter. ~ xxxx xxxx Searching for "ter\." only finds the second match. ============================================================================== 03.10 Using marks When you make a jump to a position with the "G" command, Vim remembers the position from before this jump. This position is called a mark. To go back where you came from, use this command: > `` This ` is a backtick or open single-quote character. If you use the same command a second time you will jump back again. That's because the "`" command is a jump itself, and the position from before this jump is remembered. Generally, every time you do a command that can move the cursor further than within the same line, this is called a jump. This includes the search commands "/" and "n" (it doesn't matter how far away the match is). But not the character searches with "fx" and "tx" or the word movements "w" and "e". Also, "j" and "k" are not considered to be a jump, even when you use a count to make them move the cursor quite a long way away. The "``" command jumps back and forth, between two points. The CTRL-O command jumps to older positions (Hint: O for older). CTRL-I then jumps back to newer positions (Hint: for many common keyboard layouts, I is just next to O). Consider this sequence of commands: > 33G /^The CTRL-O You first jump to line 33, then search for a line that starts with "The". Then with CTRL-O you jump back to line 33. Another CTRL-O takes you back to where you started. If you now use CTRL-I you jump to line 33 again. And to the match for "The" with another CTRL-I. \| example text ^ \| 33G \| example text \| CTRL-O \| CTRL-I \| example text \| \| V line 33 text ^ V \| example text \| \| /^The \| example text \| CTRL-O \| CTRL-I V There you are \| V example text Note: CTRL-I is the same as <Tab>. The ":jumps" command gives a list of positions you jumped to. The entry which you used last is marked with a ">". NAMED MARKS bookmark Vim enables you to place your own marks in the text. The command "ma" marks the place under the cursor as mark a. You can place 26 marks (a through z) in your text. You can't see them, it's just a position that Vim remembers. To go to a mark, use the command `{mark}, where {mark} is the mark letter. Thus to move to the a mark: > `a The command "'mark" (single quotation mark, or apostrophe) moves you to the beginning of the line containing the mark. This differs from the "`mark" command, which also moves you to the marked column. The marks can be very useful when working on two related parts in a file. Suppose you have some text near the start of the file you need to look at, while working on some text near the end of the file. Move to the text at the start and place the s (start) mark there: > ms Then move to the text you want to work on and put the e (end) mark there: > me Now you can move around, and when you want to look at the start of the file, you use this to jump there: > 's Then you can use '' to jump back to where you were, or 'e to jump to the text you were working on at the end. There is nothing special about using s for start and e for end, they are just easy to remember. You can use this command to get a list of marks: > :marks You will notice a few special marks. These include: ' The cursor position before doing a jump " The cursor position when last editing the file [ Start of the last change ] End of the last change ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_04.txt\| Making small changes Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	23.31 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_04.txt usr_04.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Feb 22 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Making small changes This chapter shows you several ways of making corrections and moving text around. It teaches you the three basic ways to change text: operator-motion, Visual mode and text objects. \|04.1\| Operators and motions \|04.2\| Changing text \|04.3\| Repeating a change \|04.4\| Visual mode \|04.5\| Moving text \|04.6\| Copying text \|04.7\| Using the clipboard \|04.8\| Text objects \|04.9\| Replace mode \|04.10\| Conclusion Next chapter: \|usr_05.txt\| Set your settings Previous chapter: \|usr_03.txt\| Moving around Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 04.1 Operators and motions In chapter 2 you learned the "x" command to delete a single character. And using a count: "4x" deletes four characters. The "dw" command deletes a word. You may recognize the "w" command as the move word command. In fact, the "d" command may be followed by any motion command, and it deletes from the current location to the place where the cursor winds up. The "4w" command, for example, moves the cursor over four words. The "d4w" command deletes four words. To err is human. To really foul up you need a computer. ~ ------------------> d4w To err is human. you need a computer. ~ Vim only deletes up to the position where the motion takes the cursor. That's because Vim knows that you probably don't want to delete the first character of a word. If you use the "e" command to move to the end of a word, Vim guesses that you do want to include that last character: To err is human. you need a computer. ~ --------> d2e To err is human. a computer. ~ Whether the character under the cursor is included depends on the command you used to move to that character. The reference manual calls this "exclusive" when the character isn't included and "inclusive" when it is. The "$" command moves to the end of a line. The "d$" command deletes from the cursor to the end of the line. This is an inclusive motion, thus the last character of the line is included in the delete operation: To err is human. a computer. ~ ------------> d$ To err is human ~ There is a pattern here: operator-motion. You first type an operator command. For example, "d" is the delete operator. Then you type a motion command like "4l" or "w". This way you can operate on any text you can move over. ============================================================================== 04.2 Changing text Another operator is "c", change. It acts just like the "d" operator, except it leaves you in Insert mode. For example, "cw" changes a word. Or more specifically, it deletes a word and then puts you in Insert mode. To err is human ~ -------> c2wbe<Esc> To be human ~ This "c2wbe<Esc>" contains these bits: c the change operator 2w move two words (they are deleted and Insert mode started) be insert this text <Esc> back to Normal mode You will have noticed something strange: The space before "human" isn't deleted. There is a saying that for every problem there is an answer that is simple, clear, and wrong. That is the case with the example used here for the "cw" command. The c operator works just like the d operator, with one exception: "cw". It actually works like "ce", change to end of word. Thus the space after the word isn't included. This is an exception that dates back to the old Vi. Since many people are used to it now, the inconsistency has remained in Vim. MORE CHANGES Like "dd" deletes a whole line, "cc" changes a whole line. It keeps the existing indent (leading white space) though. Just like "d$" deletes until the end of the line, "c$" changes until the end of the line. It's like doing "d$" to delete the text and then "a" to start Insert mode and append new text. SHORTCUTS Some operator-motion commands are used so often that they have been given a single-letter command: x stands for dl (delete character under the cursor) X stands for dh (delete character left of the cursor) D stands for d$ (delete to end of the line) C stands for c$ (change to end of the line) s stands for cl (change one character) S stands for cc (change a whole line) WHERE TO PUT THE COUNT The commands "3dw" and "d3w" delete three words. If you want to get really picky about things, the first command, "3dw", deletes one word three times; the command "d3w" deletes three words once. This is a difference without a distinction. You can actually put in two counts, however. For example, "3d2w" deletes two words, repeated three times, for a total of six words. REPLACING WITH ONE CHARACTER The "r" command is not an operator. It waits for you to type a character, and will replace the character under the cursor with it. You could do the same with "cl" or with the "s" command, but with "r" you don't have to press <Esc> to get back out of insert mode. there is somerhing grong here ~ rT rt rw There is something wrong here ~ Using a count with "r" causes that many characters to be replaced with the same character. Example: There is something wrong here ~ 5rx There is something xxxxx here ~ To replace a character with a line break use "r<Enter>". This deletes one character and inserts a line break. Using a count here only applies to the number of characters deleted: "4r<Enter>" replaces four characters with one line break. ============================================================================== 04.3 Repeating a change The "." command is one of the simplest yet powerful commands in Vim. It repeats the last change. For instance, suppose you are editing an HTML file and want to delete all the <B> tags. You position the cursor on the first < and delete the <B> with the command "df>". You then go to the < of the next </B> and delete it using the "." command. The "." command executes the last change command (in this case, "df>"). To delete another tag, position the cursor on the < and use the "." command. To <B>generate</B> a table of <B>contents ~ f< find first < ---> df> delete to > --> f< find next < ---------> . repeat df> ---> f< find next < -------------> . repeat df> --> The "." command works for all changes you make, except for "u" (undo), CTRL-R (redo) and commands that start with a colon (:). Another example: You want to change the word "four" to "five". It appears several times in your text. You can do this quickly with this sequence of commands: /four<Enter> find the first string "four" cwfive<Esc> change the word to "five" n find the next "four" . repeat the change to "five" n find the next "four" . repeat the change etc. ============================================================================== 04.4 Visual mode To delete simple items the operator-motion changes work quite well. But often it's not so easy to decide which command will move over the text you want to change. Then you can use Visual mode. You start Visual mode by pressing "v". You move the cursor over the text you want to work on. While you do this, the text is highlighted. Finally type the operator command. For example, to delete from the middle of one word to the middle of another word: This is an examination sample of visual mode ~ ----------> velllld This is an example of visual mode ~ When doing this you don't really have to count how many times you have to press "l" to end up in the right position. You can immediately see what text will be deleted when you press "d". If at any time you decide you don't want to do anything with the highlighted text, just press <Esc> and Visual mode will stop without doing anything. SELECTING LINES If you want to work on whole lines, use "V" to start Visual mode. You will see right away that the whole line is highlighted, without moving around. When you move left or right nothing changes. When you move up or down the selection is extended whole lines at a time. For example, select three lines with "Vjj": +------------------------+ \| text more text \| >> \| more text more text \| \| selected lines >> \| text text text \| \| Vjj >> \| text more \| V \| more text more \| +------------------------+ SELECTING BLOCKS If you want to work on a rectangular block of characters, use CTRL-V to start Visual mode. This is very useful when working on tables. name Q1 Q2 Q3 pierre 123 455 234 john 0 90 39 steve 392 63 334 To delete the middle "Q2" column, move the cursor to the "Q" of "Q2". Press CTRL-V to start blockwise Visual mode. Now move the cursor three lines down with "3j" and to the next word with "w". You can see the first character of the last column is included. To exclude it, use "h". Now press "d" and the middle column is gone. GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE If you have selected some text in Visual mode, and discover that you need to change the other end of the selection, use the "o" command (Hint: o for other end). The cursor will go to the other end, and you can move the cursor to change where the selection starts. Pressing "o" again brings you back to the other end. When using blockwise selection, you have four corners. "o" only takes you to one of the other corners, diagonally. Use "O" to move to the other corner in the same line. Note that "o" and "O" in Visual mode work very differently from Normal mode, where they open a new line below or above the cursor. ============================================================================== 04.5 Moving text When you delete something with "d", "x", or another command, the text is saved. You can paste it back by using the "p" command. (The Vim name for this is put). Take a look at how this works. First you will delete an entire line, by putting the cursor on the line you want to delete and typing "dd". Now you move the cursor to where you want to put the line and use the "p" (put) command. The line is inserted on the line below the cursor. a line a line a line line 2 dd line 3 p line 3 line 3 line 2 Because you deleted an entire line, the "p" command placed the text line below the cursor. If you delete part of a line (a word, for instance), the "p" command puts it just after the cursor. Some more boring try text to out commands. ~ ----> dw Some more boring text to out commands. ~ -------> welp Some more boring text to try out commands. ~ MORE ON PUTTING The "P" command puts text like "p", but before the cursor. When you deleted a whole line with "dd", "P" will put it back above the cursor. When you deleted a word with "dw", "P" will put it back just before the cursor. You can repeat putting as many times as you like. The same text will be used. You can use a count with "p" and "P". The text will be repeated as many times as specified with the count. Thus "dd" and then "3p" puts three copies of the same deleted line. SWAPPING TWO CHARACTERS Frequently when you are typing, your fingers get ahead of your brain (or the other way around?). The result is a typo such as "teh" for "the". Vim makes it easy to correct such problems. Just put the cursor on the e of "teh" and execute the command "xp". This works as follows: "x" deletes the character e and places it in a register. "p" puts the text after the cursor, which is after the h. teh th the ~ x p ============================================================================== 04.6 Copying text To copy text from one place to another, you could delete it, use "u" to undo the deletion and then "p" to put it somewhere else. There is an easier way: yanking. The "y" operator copies text into a register. Then a "p" command can be used to put it. Yanking is just a Vim name for copying. The "c" letter was already used for the change operator, and "y" was still available. Calling this operator "yank" made it easier to remember to use the "y" key. Since "y" is an operator, you use "yw" to yank a word. A count is possible as usual. To yank two words use "y2w". Example: let sqr = LongVariable * ~ --------------> y2w let sqr = LongVariable * ~ p let sqr = LongVariable * LongVariable ~ Notice that "yw" includes the white space after a word. If you don't want this, use "ye". The "yy" command yanks a whole line, just like "dd" deletes a whole line. Unexpectedly, while "D" deletes from the cursor to the end of the line, "Y" works like "yy", it yanks the whole line. Watch out for this inconsistency! Use "y$" to yank to the end of the line. a text line yy a text line a text line line 2 line 2 p line 2 last line last line a text line last line ============================================================================== 04.7 Using the clipboard If you are using the GUI version of Vim (gvim), you can find the "Copy" item in the "Edit" menu. First select some text with Visual mode, then use the Edit/Copy menu item. The selected text is now copied to the clipboard. You can paste the text in other programs. In Vim itself too. If you have copied text to the clipboard in another application, you can paste it in Vim with the Edit/Paste menu item. This works in Normal mode and Insert mode. In Visual mode the selected text is replaced with the pasted text. The "Cut" menu item deletes the text before it's put on the clipboard. The "Copy", "Cut" and "Paste" items are also available in the popup menu (only when there is a popup menu, of course). If your Vim has a toolbar, you can also find these items there. If you are not using the GUI, or if you don't like using a menu, you have to use another way. You use the normal "y" (yank) and "p" (put) commands, but prepend "* (double-quote star) before it. To copy a line to the clipboard: > "yy To put text from the clipboard back into the text: > "p This only works on versions of Vim that include clipboard support. More about the clipboard can be found in section \|09.3\| and here: \|clipboard\|. ============================================================================== 04.8 Text objects If the cursor is in the middle of a word and you want to delete that word, you need to move back to its start before you can do "dw". There is a simpler way to do this: "daw". this is some example text. ~ daw this is some text. ~ The "d" of "daw" is the delete operator. "aw" is a text object. Hint: "aw" stands for "A Word". Thus "daw" is "Delete A Word". To be precise, the white space after the word is also deleted (or the white space before the word if at the end of the line). Using text objects is the third way to make changes in Vim. We already had operator-motion and Visual mode. Now we add operator-text object. It is very similar to operator-motion, but instead of operating on the text between the cursor position before and after a movement command, the text object is used as a whole. It doesn't matter where in the object the cursor was. To change a whole sentence use "cis". Take this text: Hello there. This ~ is an example. Just ~ some text. ~ Move to the start of the second line, on "is an". Now use "cis": Hello there. Just ~ some text. ~ The cursor is in between the blanks in the first line. Now you type the new sentence "Another line.": Hello there. Another line. Just ~ some text. ~ "cis" consists of the "c" (change) operator and the "is" text object. This stands for "Inner Sentence". There is also the "as" ("A Sentence") object. The difference is that "as" includes the white space after the sentence and "is" doesn't. If you would delete a sentence, you want to delete the white space at the same time, thus use "das". If you want to type new text the white space can remain, thus you use "cis". You can also use text objects in Visual mode. It will include the text object in the Visual selection. Visual mode continues, thus you can do this several times. For example, start Visual mode with "v" and select a sentence with "as". Now you can repeat "as" to include more sentences. Finally you use an operator to do something with the selected sentences. You can find a long list of text objects here: \|text-objects\|. ============================================================================== 04.9 Replace mode The "R" command causes Vim to enter replace mode. In this mode, each character you type replaces the one under the cursor. This continues until you type <Esc>. In this example you start Replace mode on the first "t" of "text": This is text. ~ Rinteresting.<Esc> This is interesting. ~ You may have noticed that this command replaced 5 characters in the line with twelve others. The "R" command automatically extends the line if it runs out of characters to replace. It will not continue on the next line. You can switch between Insert mode and Replace mode with the <Insert> key. When you use <BS> (backspace) to make a correction, you will notice that the old text is put back. Thus it works like an undo command for the previously typed character. ============================================================================== 04.10 Conclusion The operators, movement commands and text objects give you the possibility to make lots of combinations. Now that you know how they work, you can use N operators with M movement commands to make N * M commands! You can find a list of operators here: \|operator\|. For example, there are many other ways to delete pieces of text. Here are a few common ones: x delete character under the cursor (short for "dl") X delete character before the cursor (short for "dh") D delete from cursor to end of line (short for "d$") dw delete from cursor to next start of word db delete from cursor to previous start of word diw delete word under the cursor (excluding white space) daw delete word under the cursor (including white space) dG delete until the end of the file dgg delete until the start of the file If you use "c" instead of "d" they become change commands. And with "y" you yank the text. And so forth. There are a few common commands to make changes that didn't fit somewhere else: ~ Change case of the character under the cursor, and move the cursor to the next character. This is not an operator (unless 'tildeop' is set), thus you can't use it with a motion command. It does work in Visual mode, where it changes case for all the selected text. I Start Insert mode after moving the cursor to the first non-blank in the line. A Start Insert mode after moving the cursor to the end of the line. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_05.txt\| Set your settings Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	18.68 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Or define your own macros. \|05.1\| The vimrc file \|05.2\| The example vimrc file explained \|05.3\| The defaults.vim file explained \|05.4\| Simple mappings \|05.5\| Adding a package \|05.6\| Adding a plugin \|05.7\| Adding a help file \|05.8\| The option window \|05.9\| Often used options Next chapter: \|usr_06.txt\| Using syntax highlighting Previous chapter: \|usr_04.txt\| Making small changes Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 05.1 The vimrc file vimrc-intro You probably got tired of typing commands that you use very often. To start Vim with all your favorite option settings and mappings, you write them in what is called the vimrc file. Vim executes the commands in this file when it starts up. If you already have a vimrc file (e.g., when your sysadmin has one setup for you), you can edit it this way: > :edit $MYVIMRC If you don't have a vimrc file yet, see \|vimrc\| to find out where you can create a vimrc file. Also, the ":version" command mentions the name of the "user vimrc file" Vim looks for. For Unix and Macintosh this file is always used and is recommended: ~/.vimrc ~ For MS-Windows you can use one of these: $HOME/_vimrc ~ $VIM/_vimrc ~ If you are creating the vimrc file for the first time, it is recommended to put this line at the top: > source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim This initializes Vim for new users (as opposed to traditional Vi users). See \|defaults.vim\| for the details. The vimrc file can contain all the commands that you type after a colon. The simplest ones are for setting options. For example, if you want Vim to always start with the 'incsearch' option on, add this line your vimrc file: > set incsearch For this new line to take effect you need to exit Vim and start it again. Later you will learn how to do this without exiting Vim. This chapter only explains the most basic items. For more information on how to write a Vim script file: \|usr_41.txt\|. ============================================================================== 05.2 The example vimrc file explained vimrc_example.vim In the first chapter was explained how the example vimrc (included in the Vim distribution) file can be used to make Vim startup in not-compatible mode (see \|not-compatible\|). The file can be found here: $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim ~ In this section we will explain the various commands used in this file. This will give you hints about how to set up your own preferences. Not everything will be explained though. Use the ":help" command to find out more. > " Get the defaults that most users want. source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim This loads the "defaults.vim" file in the $VIMRUNTIME directory. This sets up Vim for how most users like it. If you are one of the few that don't, then comment out this line. The commands are explained below: \|defaults.vim-explained\| > if has("vms") set nobackup else set backup if has('persistent_undo') set undofile endif endif This tells Vim to keep a backup copy of a file when overwriting it. But not on the VMS system, since it keeps old versions of files already. The backup file will have the same name as the original file with "~" added. See \|07.4\| This also sets the 'undofile' option, if available. This will store the multi-level undo information in a file. The result is that when you change a file, exit Vim, and then edit the file again, you can undo the changes made previously. It's a very powerful and useful feature, at the cost of storing a file. For more information see \|undo-persistence\|. The "if" command is very useful to set options only when some condition is met. More about that in \|usr_41.txt\|. > if &t_Co > 2 \|\| has("gui_running") set hlsearch endif This switches on the 'hlsearch' option, telling Vim to highlight matches with the last used search pattern. > augroup vimrcEx au! autocmd FileType text setlocal textwidth=78 augroup END This makes Vim break text to avoid lines getting longer than 78 characters. But only for files that have been detected to be plain text. There are actually two parts here. "autocmd FileType text" is an autocommand. This defines that when the file type is set to "text" the following command is automatically executed. "setlocal textwidth=78" sets the 'textwidth' option to 78, but only locally in one file. The wrapper with "augroup vimrcEx" and "augroup END" makes it possible to delete the autocommand with the "au!" command. See \|:augroup\|. > if has('syntax') && has('eval') packadd! matchit endif This loads the "matchit" plugin if the required features are available. It makes the \|%\| command more powerful. This is explained at \|matchit-install\|. ============================================================================== 05.3 The defaults.vim file explained defaults.vim-explained The \|defaults.vim\| file is loaded when the user has no vimrc file. When you create a new vimrc file, add this line near the top to keep using it: > source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim Or use the vimrc_example.vim file, as explained above. The following explains what defaults.vim is doing. > if exists('skip_defaults_vim') finish endif Loading defaults.vim can be disabled with this command: > let skip_defaults_vim = 1 This has to be done in the system vimrc file. See \|system-vimrc\|. If you have a user vimrc this is not needed, since defaults.vim will not be loaded automatically. > set nocompatible As mentioned in the first chapter, these manuals explain Vim working in an improved way, thus not completely Vi compatible. Setting the 'compatible' option off, thus 'nocompatible' takes care of this. > set backspace=indent,eol,start This specifies where in Insert mode the <BS> is allowed to delete the character in front of the cursor. The three items, separated by commas, tell Vim to delete the white space at the start of the line, a line break and the character before where Insert mode started. See 'backspace'. > set history=200 Keep 200 commands and 200 search patterns in the history. Use another number if you want to remember fewer or more lines. See 'history'. > set ruler Always display the current cursor position in the lower right corner of the Vim window. See 'ruler'. > set showcmd Display an incomplete command in the lower right corner of the Vim window, left of the ruler. For example, when you type "2f", Vim is waiting for you to type the character to find and "2f" is displayed. When you press "w" next, the "2fw" command is executed and the displayed "2f" is removed. +-------------------------------------------------+ \|text in the Vim window \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|-- VISUAL -- 2f 43,8 17% \| +-------------------------------------------------+ ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ 'showmode' 'showcmd' 'ruler' > set wildmenu Display completion matches in a status line. That is when you type <Tab> and there is more than one match. See 'wildmenu'. > set ttimeout set ttimeoutlen=100 This makes typing Esc take effect more quickly. Normally Vim waits a second to see if the Esc is the start of an escape sequence. If you have a very slow remote connection, increase the number. See 'ttimeout'. > set display=truncate Show @@@ in the last line if it is truncated, instead of hiding the whole line. See 'display'. > set incsearch Display the match for a search pattern when halfway typing it. See 'incsearch'. > set nrformats-=octal Do not recognize numbers starting with a zero as octal. See 'nrformats'. > map Q gq This defines a key mapping. More about that in the next section. This defines the "Q" command to do formatting with the "gq" operator. This is how it worked before Vim 5.0. Otherwise the "Q" command starts Ex mode, but you will not need it. > inoremap <C-U> <C-G>u<C-U> CTRL-U in insert mode deletes all entered text in the current line. Use CTRL-G u to first break undo, so that you can undo CTRL-U after inserting a line break. Revert with ":iunmap <C-U>". > if has('mouse') set mouse=a endif Enable using the mouse if available. See 'mouse'. > vnoremap _g y:exe "grep /" . escape(@", '\\/') . "/ .c .h"<CR> This mapping yanks the visually selected text and searches for it in C files. You can see that a mapping can be used to do quite complicated things. Still, it is just a sequence of commands that are executed like you typed them. > syntax on Enable highlighting files in color. See \|syntax\|. vimrc-filetype > filetype plugin indent on This switches on three very clever mechanisms: 1. Filetype detection. Whenever you start editing a file, Vim will try to figure out what kind of file this is. When you edit "main.c", Vim will see the ".c" extension and recognize this as a "c" filetype. When you edit a file that starts with "#!/bin/sh", Vim will recognize it as a "sh" filetype. The filetype detection is used for syntax highlighting and the other two items below. See \|filetypes\|. 2. Using filetype plugin files Many different filetypes are edited with different options. For example, when you edit a "c" file, it's very useful to set the 'cindent' option to automatically indent the lines. These commonly useful option settings are included with Vim in filetype plugins. You can also add your own, see \|write-filetype-plugin\|. 3. Using indent files When editing programs, the indent of a line can often be computed automatically. Vim comes with these indent rules for a number of filetypes. See \|:filetype-indent-on\| and 'indentexpr'. restore-cursor last-position-jump > autocmd BufReadPost * \ if line("'\"") >= 1 && line("'\"") <= line("$") && &ft !~# 'commit' \ \| exe "normal! g`\"" \ \| endif Another autocommand. This time it is used after reading any file. The complicated stuff after it checks if the '" mark is defined, and jumps to it if so. The backslash at the start of a line is used to continue the command from the previous line. That avoids a line getting very long. See \|line-continuation\|. This only works in a Vim script file, not when typing commands at the command-line. > command DiffOrig vert new \| set bt=nofile \| r ++edit # \| 0d_ \| diffthis \ \| wincmd p \| diffthis This adds the ":DiffOrig" command. Use this in a modified buffer to see the differences with the file it was loaded from. See \|diff\| and \|:DiffOrig\|. > set nolangremap Prevent that the langmap option applies to characters that result from a mapping. If set (default), this may break plugins (but it's backward compatible). See 'langremap'. ============================================================================== 05.4 Simple mappings A mapping enables you to bind a set of Vim commands to a single key. Suppose, for example, that you need to surround certain words with curly braces. In other words, you need to change a word such as "amount" into "{amount}". With the :map command, you can tell Vim that the F5 key does this job. The command is as follows: > :map <F5> i{<Esc>ea}<Esc> < Note: When entering this command, you must enter <F5> by typing four characters. Similarly, <Esc> is not entered by pressing the <Esc> key, but by typing five characters. Watch out for this difference when reading the manual! Let's break this down: <F5> The F5 function key. This is the trigger key that causes the command to be executed as the key is pressed. i{<Esc> Insert the { character. The <Esc> key ends Insert mode. e Move to the end of the word. a}<Esc> Append the } to the word. After you execute the ":map" command, all you have to do to put {} around a word is to put the cursor on the first character and press F5. In this example, the trigger is a single key; it can be any string. But when you use an existing Vim command, that command will no longer be available. You better avoid that. One key that can be used with mappings is the backslash. Since you probably want to define more than one mapping, add another character. You could map "\p" to add parentheses around a word, and "\c" to add curly braces, for example: > :map \p i(<Esc>ea)<Esc> :map \c i{<Esc>ea}<Esc> You need to type the \ and the p quickly after another, so that Vim knows they belong together. The ":map" command (with no arguments) lists your current mappings. At least the ones for Normal mode. More about mappings in section \|40.1\|. ============================================================================== 05.5 Adding a package add-package matchit-install A package is a set of files that you can add to Vim. There are two kinds of packages: optional and automatically loaded on startup. The Vim distribution comes with a few packages that you can optionally use. For example, the matchit plugin. This plugin makes the "%" command jump to matching HTML tags, if/else/endif in Vim scripts, etc. Very useful, although it's not backwards compatible (that's why it is not enabled by default). To start using the matchit plugin, add one line to your vimrc file: > packadd! matchit That's all! After restarting Vim you can find help about this plugin: > :help matchit This works, because when `:packadd` loaded the plugin it also added the package directory in 'runtimepath', so that the help file can be found. You can find packages on the Internet in various places. It usually comes as an archive or as a repository. For an archive you can follow these steps: 1. create the package directory: > mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/fancy < "fancy" can be any name of your liking. Use one that describes the package. 2. unpack the archive in that directory. This assumes the top directory in the archive is "start": > cd ~/.vim/pack/fancy unzip /tmp/fancy.zip < If the archive layout is different make sure that you end up with a path like this: ~/.vim/pack/fancy/start/fancytext/plugin/fancy.vim ~ Here "fancytext" is the name of the package, it can be anything else. More information about packages can be found here: \|packages\|. ============================================================================== 05.6 Adding a plugin add-plugin plugin Vim's functionality can be extended by adding plugins. A plugin is nothing more than a Vim script file that is loaded automatically when Vim starts. You can add a plugin very easily by dropping it in your plugin directory. {not available when Vim was compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} There are two types of plugins: global plugin: Used for all kinds of files filetype plugin: Only used for a specific type of file The global plugins will be discussed first, then the filetype ones \|add-filetype-plugin\|. GLOBAL PLUGINS standard-plugin When you start Vim, it will automatically load a number of global plugins. You don't have to do anything for this. They add functionality that most people will want to use, but which was implemented as a Vim script instead of being compiled into Vim. You can find them listed in the help index \|standard-plugin-list\|. Also see \|load-plugins\|. add-global-plugin You can add a global plugin to add functionality that will always be present when you use Vim. There are only two steps for adding a global plugin: 1. Get a copy of the plugin. 2. Drop it in the right directory. GETTING A GLOBAL PLUGIN Where can you find plugins? - Some are always loaded, you can see them in the directory $VIMRUNTIME/plugin. - Some come with Vim. You can find them in the directory $VIMRUNTIME/macros and its sub-directories and under $VIM/vimfiles/pack/dist/opt/. - Download from the net. There is a large collection on http://www.vim.org. - They are sometimes posted in a Vim \|maillist\|. - You could write one yourself, see \|write-plugin\|. Some plugins come as a vimball archive, see \|vimball\|. Some plugins can be updated automatically, see \|getscript\|. USING A GLOBAL PLUGIN First read the text in the plugin itself to check for any special conditions. Then copy the file to your plugin directory: system plugin directory ~ Unix ~/.vim/plugin/ PC $HOME/vimfiles/plugin or $VIM/vimfiles/plugin Amiga s:vimfiles/plugin Macintosh $VIM:vimfiles:plugin Mac OS X ~/.vim/plugin/ Example for Unix (assuming you didn't have a plugin directory yet): > mkdir ~/.vim mkdir ~/.vim/plugin cp /tmp/yourplugin.vim ~/.vim/plugin That's all! Now you can use the commands defined in this plugin. Instead of putting plugins directly into the plugin/ directory, you may better organize them by putting them into subdirectories under plugin/. As an example, consider using "~/.vim/plugin/perl/.vim" for all your Perl plugins. FILETYPE PLUGINS add-filetype-plugin* ftplugins The Vim distribution comes with a set of plugins for different filetypes that you can start using with this command: > :filetype plugin on That's all! See \|vimrc-filetype\|. If you are missing a plugin for a filetype you are using, or you found a better one, you can add it. There are two steps for adding a filetype plugin: 1. Get a copy of the plugin. 2. Drop it in the right directory. GETTING A FILETYPE PLUGIN You can find them in the same places as the global plugins. Watch out if the type of file is mentioned, then you know if the plugin is a global or a filetype one. The scripts in $VIMRUNTIME/macros are global ones, the filetype plugins are in $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin. USING A FILETYPE PLUGIN ftplugin-name You can add a filetype plugin by dropping it in the right directory. The name of this directory is in the same directory mentioned above for global plugins, but the last part is "ftplugin". Suppose you have found a plugin for the "stuff" filetype, and you are on Unix. Then you can move this file to the ftplugin directory: > mv thefile ~/.vim/ftplugin/stuff.vim If that file already exists you already have a plugin for "stuff". You might want to check if the existing plugin doesn't conflict with the one you are adding. If it's OK, you can give the new one another name: > mv thefile ~/.vim/ftplugin/stuff_too.vim The underscore is used to separate the name of the filetype from the rest, which can be anything. If you use "otherstuff.vim" it wouldn't work, it would be loaded for the "otherstuff" filetype. On MS-DOS like filesystems you cannot use long filenames. You would run into trouble if you add a second plugin and the filetype has more than six characters. You can use an extra directory to get around this: > mkdir $VIM/vimfiles/ftplugin/fortran copy thefile $VIM/vimfiles/ftplugin/fortran/too.vim The generic names for the filetype plugins are: > ftplugin/<filetype>.vim ftplugin/<filetype>_<name>.vim ftplugin/<filetype>/<name>.vim Here "<name>" can be any name that you prefer. Examples for the "stuff" filetype on Unix: > ~/.vim/ftplugin/stuff.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/stuff_def.vim ~/.vim/ftplugin/stuff/header.vim The <filetype> part is the name of the filetype the plugin is to be used for. Only files of this filetype will use the settings from the plugin. The <name> part of the plugin file doesn't matter, you can use it to have several plugins for the same filetype. Note that it must end in ".vim". Further reading: \|filetype-plugins\| Documentation for the filetype plugins and information about how to avoid that mappings cause problems. \|load-plugins\| When the global plugins are loaded during startup. \|ftplugin-overrule\| Overruling the settings from a global plugin. \|write-plugin\| How to write a plugin script. \|plugin-details\| For more information about using plugins or when your plugin doesn't work. \|new-filetype\| How to detect a new file type. ============================================================================== 05.7 Adding a help file add-local-help If you are lucky, the plugin you installed also comes with a help file. We will explain how to install the help file, so that you can easily find help for your new plugin. Let us use the "doit.vim" plugin as an example. This plugin comes with documentation: "doit.txt". Let's first copy the plugin to the right directory. This time we will do it from inside Vim. (You may skip some of the "mkdir" commands if you already have the directory.) > :!mkdir ~/.vim :!mkdir ~/.vim/plugin :!cp /tmp/doit.vim ~/.vim/plugin The "cp" command is for Unix, on MS-Windows you can use "copy". Now create a "doc" directory in one of the directories in 'runtimepath'. > :!mkdir ~/.vim/doc Copy the help file to the "doc" directory. > :!cp /tmp/doit.txt ~/.vim/doc Now comes the trick, which allows you to jump to the subjects in the new help file: Generate the local tags file with the \|:helptags\| command. > :helptags ~/.vim/doc Now you can use the > :help doit command to find help for "doit" in the help file you just added. You can see an entry for the local help file when you do: > :help local-additions The title lines from the local help files are automagically added to this section. There you can see which local help files have been added and jump to them through the tag. For writing a local help file, see \|write-local-help\|. ============================================================================== 05.8 The option window If you are looking for an option that does what you want, you can search in the help files here: \|options\|. Another way is by using this command: > :options This opens a new window, with a list of options with a one-line explanation. The options are grouped by subject. Move the cursor to a subject and press <Enter> to jump there. Press <Enter> again to jump back. Or use CTRL-O. You can change the value of an option. For example, move to the "displaying text" subject. Then move the cursor down to this line: set wrap nowrap ~ When you hit <Enter>, the line will change to: set nowrap wrap ~ The option has now been switched off. Just above this line is a short description of the 'wrap' option. Move the cursor one line up to place it in this line. Now hit <Enter> and you jump to the full help on the 'wrap' option. For options that take a number or string argument you can edit the value. Then press <Enter> to apply the new value. For example, move the cursor a few lines up to this line: set so=0 ~ Position the cursor on the zero with "$". Change it into a five with "r5". Then press <Enter> to apply the new value. When you now move the cursor around you will notice that the text starts scrolling before you reach the border. This is what the 'scrolloff' option does, it specifies an offset from the window border where scrolling starts. ============================================================================== 05.9 Often used options There are an awful lot of options. Most of them you will hardly ever use. Some of the more useful ones will be mentioned here. Don't forget you can find more help on these options with the ":help" command, with single quotes before and after the option name. For example: > :help 'wrap' In case you have messed up an option value, you can set it back to the default by putting an ampersand (&) after the option name. Example: > :set iskeyword& NOT WRAPPING LINES Vim normally wraps long lines, so that you can see all of the text. Sometimes it's better to let the text continue right of the window. Then you need to scroll the text left-right to see all of a long line. Switch wrapping off with this command: > :set nowrap Vim will automatically scroll the text when you move to text that is not displayed. To see a context of ten characters, do this: > :set sidescroll=10 This doesn't change the text in the file, only the way it is displayed. WRAPPING MOVEMENT COMMANDS Most commands for moving around will stop moving at the start and end of a line. You can change that with the 'whichwrap' option. This sets it to the default value: > :set whichwrap=b,s This allows the <BS> key, when used in the first position of a line, to move the cursor to the end of the previous line. And the <Space> key moves from the end of a line to the start of the next one. To allow the cursor keys <Left> and <Right> to also wrap, use this command: > :set whichwrap=b,s,<,> This is still only for Normal mode. To let <Left> and <Right> do this in Insert mode as well: > :set whichwrap=b,s,<,>,[,] There are a few other flags that can be added, see 'whichwrap'. VIEWING TABS When there are tabs in a file, you cannot see where they are. To make them visible: > :set list Now every tab is displayed as ^I. And a $ is displayed at the end of each line, so that you can spot trailing spaces that would otherwise go unnoticed. A disadvantage is that this looks ugly when there are many Tabs in a file. If you have a color terminal, or are using the GUI, Vim can show the spaces and tabs as highlighted characters. Use the 'listchars' option: > :set listchars=tab:>-,trail:- Now every tab will be displayed as ">---" (with more or less "-") and trailing white space as "-". Looks a lot better, doesn't it? KEYWORDS The 'iskeyword' option specifies which characters can appear in a word: > :set iskeyword < iskeyword=@,48-57,_,192-255 ~ The "@" stands for all alphabetic letters. "48-57" stands for ASCII characters 48 to 57, which are the numbers 0 to 9. "192-255" are the printable latin characters. Sometimes you will want to include a dash in keywords, so that commands like "w" consider "upper-case" to be one word. You can do it like this: > :set iskeyword+=- :set iskeyword < iskeyword=@,48-57,_,192-255,- ~ If you look at the new value, you will see that Vim has added a comma for you. To remove a character use "-=". For example, to remove the underscore: > :set iskeyword-=_ :set iskeyword < iskeyword=@,48-57,192-255,- ~ This time a comma is automatically deleted. ROOM FOR MESSAGES When Vim starts there is one line at the bottom that is used for messages. When a message is long, it is either truncated, thus you can only see part of it, or the text scrolls and you have to press <Enter> to continue. You can set the 'cmdheight' option to the number of lines used for messages. Example: > :set cmdheight=3 This does mean there is less room to edit text, thus it's a compromise. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_06.txt\| Using syntax highlighting Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	26.39 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_06.txt usr_06.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Jun 01 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Using syntax highlighting Black and white text is boring. With colors your file comes to life. This not only looks nice, it also speeds up your work. Change the colors used for the different sorts of text. Print your text, with the colors you see on the screen. \|06.1\| Switching it on \|06.2\| No or wrong colors? \|06.3\| Different colors \|06.4\| With colors or without colors \|06.5\| Printing with colors \|06.6\| Further reading Next chapter: \|usr_07.txt\| Editing more than one file Previous chapter: \|usr_05.txt\| Set your settings Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 06.1 Switching it on It all starts with one simple command: > :syntax enable That should work in most situations to get color in your files. Vim will automagically detect the type of file and load the right syntax highlighting. Suddenly comments are blue, keywords brown and strings red. This makes it easy to overview the file. After a while you will find that black&white text slows you down! If you always want to use syntax highlighting, put the ":syntax enable" command in your \|vimrc\| file. If you want syntax highlighting only when the terminal supports colors, you can put this in your \|vimrc\| file: > if &t_Co > 1 syntax enable endif If you want syntax highlighting only in the GUI version, put the ":syntax enable" command in your \|gvimrc\| file. ============================================================================== 06.2 No or wrong colors? There can be a number of reasons why you don't see colors: - Your terminal does not support colors. Vim will use bold, italic and underlined text, but this doesn't look very nice. You probably will want to try to get a terminal with colors. For Unix, I recommend the xterm from the XFree86 project: \|xfree-xterm\|. - Your terminal does support colors, but Vim doesn't know this. Make sure your $TERM setting is correct. For example, when using an xterm that supports colors: > setenv TERM xterm-color < or (depending on your shell): > TERM=xterm-color; export TERM < The terminal name must match the terminal you are using. If it still doesn't work, have a look at \|xterm-color\|, which shows a few ways to make Vim display colors (not only for an xterm). - The file type is not recognized. Vim doesn't know all file types, and sometimes it's near to impossible to tell what language a file uses. Try this command: > :set filetype < If the result is "filetype=" then the problem is indeed that Vim doesn't know what type of file this is. You can set the type manually: > :set filetype=fortran < To see which types are available, look in the directory $VIMRUNTIME/syntax. For the GUI you can use the Syntax menu. Setting the filetype can also be done with a \|modeline\|, so that the file will be highlighted each time you edit it. For example, this line can be used in a Makefile (put it near the start or end of the file): > # vim: syntax=make < You might know how to detect the file type yourself. Often the file name extension (after the dot) can be used. See \|new-filetype\| for how to tell Vim to detect that file type. - There is no highlighting for your file type. You could try using a similar file type by manually setting it as mentioned above. If that isn't good enough, you can write your own syntax file, see \|mysyntaxfile\|. Or the colors could be wrong: - The colored text is very hard to read. Vim guesses the background color that you are using. If it is black (or another dark color) it will use light colors for text. If it is white (or another light color) it will use dark colors for text. If Vim guessed wrong the text will be hard to read. To solve this, set the 'background' option. For a dark background: > :set background=dark < And for a light background: > :set background=light < Make sure you put this _before_ the ":syntax enable" command, otherwise the colors will already have been set. You could do ":syntax reset" after setting 'background' to make Vim set the default colors again. - The colors are wrong when scrolling bottom to top. Vim doesn't read the whole file to parse the text. It starts parsing wherever you are viewing the file. That saves a lot of time, but sometimes the colors are wrong. A simple fix is hitting CTRL-L. Or scroll back a bit and then forward again. For a real fix, see \|:syn-sync\|. Some syntax files have a way to make it look further back, see the help for the specific syntax file. For example, \|tex.vim\| for the TeX syntax. ============================================================================== 06.3 Different colors :syn-default-override If you don't like the default colors, you can select another color scheme. In the GUI use the Edit/Color Scheme menu. You can also type the command: > :colorscheme evening "evening" is the name of the color scheme. There are several others you might want to try out. Look in the directory $VIMRUNTIME/colors. When you found the color scheme that you like, add the ":colorscheme" command to your \|vimrc\| file. You could also write your own color scheme. This is how you do it: 1. Select a color scheme that comes close. Copy this file to your own Vim directory. For Unix, this should work: > !mkdir ~/.vim/colors !cp $VIMRUNTIME/colors/morning.vim ~/.vim/colors/mine.vim < This is done from Vim, because it knows the value of $VIMRUNTIME. 2. Edit the color scheme file. These entries are useful: term attributes in a B&W terminal cterm attributes in a color terminal ctermfg foreground color in a color terminal ctermbg background color in a color terminal gui attributes in the GUI guifg foreground color in the GUI guibg background color in the GUI For example, to make comments green: > :highlight Comment ctermfg=green guifg=green < Attributes you can use for "cterm" and "gui" are "bold" and "underline". If you want both, use "bold,underline". For details see the \|:highlight\| command. 3. Tell Vim to always use your color scheme. Put this line in your \|vimrc\|: > colorscheme mine If you want to see what the most often used color combinations look like, use this command: > :runtime syntax/colortest.vim You will see text in various color combinations. You can check which ones are readable and look nice. ============================================================================== 06.4 With colors or without colors Displaying text in color takes a lot of effort. If you find the displaying too slow, you might want to disable syntax highlighting for a moment: > :syntax clear When editing another file (or the same one) the colors will come back. If you want to stop highlighting completely use: > :syntax off This will completely disable syntax highlighting and remove it immediately for all buffers. See \|:syntax-off\| for more details. :syn-manual If you want syntax highlighting only for specific files, use this: > :syntax manual This will enable the syntax highlighting, but not switch it on automatically when starting to edit a buffer. To switch highlighting on for the current buffer, set the 'syntax' option: > :set syntax=ON < ============================================================================== 06.5 Printing with colors syntax-printing In the MS-Windows version you can print the current file with this command: > :hardcopy You will get the usual printer dialog, where you can select the printer and a few settings. If you have a color printer, the paper output should look the same as what you see inside Vim. But when you use a dark background the colors will be adjusted to look good on white paper. There are several options that change the way Vim prints: 'printdevice' 'printheader' 'printfont' 'printoptions' To print only a range of lines, use Visual mode to select the lines and then type the command: > v100j:hardcopy "v" starts Visual mode. "100j" moves a hundred lines down, they will be highlighted. Then ":hardcopy" will print those lines. You can use other commands to move in Visual mode, of course. This also works on Unix, if you have a PostScript printer. Otherwise, you will have to do a bit more work. You need to convert the text to HTML first, and then print it from a web browser. Convert the current file to HTML with this command: > :TOhtml In case that doesn't work: > :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/2html.vim You will see it crunching away, this can take quite a while for a large file. Some time later another window shows the HTML code. Now write this somewhere (doesn't matter where, you throw it away later): > :write main.c.html Open this file in your favorite browser and print it from there. If all goes well, the output should look exactly as it does in Vim. See \|2html.vim\| for details. Don't forget to delete the HTML file when you are done with it. Instead of printing, you could also put the HTML file on a web server, and let others look at the colored text. ============================================================================== 06.6 Further reading \|usr_44.txt\| Your own syntax highlighted. \|syntax\| All the details. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_07.txt\| Editing more than one file Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	9.39 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_07.txt usr_07.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Mar 23 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Editing more than one file No matter how many files you have, you can edit them without leaving Vim. Define a list of files to work on and jump from one to the other. Copy text from one file and put it in another one. \|07.1\| Edit another file \|07.2\| A list of files \|07.3\| Jumping from file to file \|07.4\| Backup files \|07.5\| Copy text between files \|07.6\| Viewing a file \|07.7\| Changing the file name Next chapter: \|usr_08.txt\| Splitting windows Previous chapter: \|usr_06.txt\| Using syntax highlighting Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 07.1 Edit another file So far you had to start Vim for every file you wanted to edit. There is a simpler way. To start editing another file, use this command: > :edit foo.txt You can use any file name instead of "foo.txt". Vim will close the current file and open the new one. If the current file has unsaved changes, however, Vim displays an error message and does not open the new file: E37: No write since last change (use ! to override) ~ Note: Vim puts an error ID at the start of each error message. If you do not understand the message or what caused it, look in the help system for this ID. In this case: > :help E37 At this point, you have a number of alternatives. You can write the file using this command: > :write Or you can force Vim to discard your changes and edit the new file, using the force (!) character: > :edit! foo.txt If you want to edit another file, but not write the changes in the current file yet, you can make it hidden: > :hide edit foo.txt The text with changes is still there, but you can't see it. This is further explained in section \|22.4\|: The buffer list. ============================================================================== 07.2 A list of files You can start Vim to edit a sequence of files. For example: > vim one.c two.c three.c This command starts Vim and tells it that you will be editing three files. Vim displays just the first file. After you have done your thing in this file, to edit the next file you use this command: > :next If you have unsaved changes in the current file, you will get an error message and the ":next" will not work. This is the same problem as with ":edit" mentioned in the previous section. To abandon the changes: > :next! But mostly you want to save the changes and move on to the next file. There is a special command for this: > :wnext This does the same as using two separate commands: > :write :next WHERE AM I? To see which file in the argument list you are editing, look in the window title. It should show something like "(2 of 3)". This means you are editing the second file out of three files. If you want to see the list of files, use this command: > :args This is short for "arguments". The output might look like this: one.c [two.c] three.c ~ These are the files you started Vim with. The one you are currently editing, "two.c", is in square brackets. MOVING TO OTHER ARGUMENTS To go back one file: > :previous This is just like the ":next" command, except that it moves in the other direction. Again, there is a shortcut command for when you want to write the file first: > :wprevious To move to the very last file in the list: > :last And to move back to the first one again: > :first There is no ":wlast" or ":wfirst" command though! You can use a count for ":next" and ":previous". To skip two files forward: > :2next AUTOMATIC WRITING When moving around the files and making changes, you have to remember to use ":write". Otherwise you will get an error message. If you are sure you always want to write modified files, you can tell Vim to automatically write them: > :set autowrite When you are editing a file which you may not want to write, switch it off again: > :set noautowrite EDITING ANOTHER LIST OF FILES You can redefine the list of files without the need to exit Vim and start it again. Use this command to edit three other files: > :args five.c six.c seven.h Or use a wildcard, like it's used in the shell: > :args .txt Vim will take you to the first file in the list. Again, if the current file has changes, you can either write the file first, or use ":args!" (with ! added) to abandon the changes. DID YOU EDIT THE LAST FILE? arglist-quit* When you use a list of files, Vim assumes you want to edit them all. To protect you from exiting too early, you will get this error when you didn't edit the last file in the list yet: E173: 46 more files to edit ~ If you really want to exit, just do it again. Then it will work (but not when you did other commands in between). ============================================================================== 07.3 Jumping from file to file To quickly jump between two files, press CTRL-^ (on English-US keyboards the ^ is above the 6 key). Example: > :args one.c two.c three.c You are now in one.c. > :next Now you are in two.c. Now use CTRL-^ to go back to one.c. Another CTRL-^ and you are back in two.c. Another CTRL-^ and you are in one.c again. If you now do: > :next You are in three.c. Notice that the CTRL-^ command does not change the idea of where you are in the list of files. Only commands like ":next" and ":previous" do that. The file you were previously editing is called the "alternate" file. When you just started Vim CTRL-^ will not work, since there isn't a previous file. PREDEFINED MARKS After jumping to another file, you can use two predefined marks which are very useful: > `" This takes you to the position where the cursor was when you left the file. Another mark that is remembered is the position where you made the last change: > `. Suppose you are editing the file "one.txt". Somewhere halfway through the file you use "x" to delete a character. Then you go to the last line with "G" and write the file with ":w". You edit several other files, and then use ":edit one.txt" to come back to "one.txt". If you now use `" Vim jumps to the last line of the file. Using `. takes you to the position where you deleted the character. Even when you move around in the file `" and `. will take you to the remembered position. At least until you make another change or leave the file. FILE MARKS In section \|03.10\| was explained how you can place a mark in a file with "mx" and jump to that position with "`x". That works within one file. If you edit another file and place marks there, these are specific for that file. Thus each file has its own set of marks, they are local to the file. So far we were using marks with a lowercase letter. There are also marks with an uppercase letter. These are global, they can be used from any file. For example suppose that we are editing the file "foo.txt". Go to halfway down the file ("50%") and place the F mark there (F for foo): > 50%mF Now edit the file "bar.txt" and place the B mark (B for bar) at its last line: > GmB Now you can use the "'F" command to jump back to halfway foo.txt. Or edit yet another file, type "'B" and you are at the end of bar.txt again. The file marks are remembered until they are placed somewhere else. Thus you can place the mark, do hours of editing and still be able to jump back to that mark. It's often useful to think of a simple connection between the mark letter and where it is placed. For example, use the H mark in a header file, M in a Makefile and C in a C code file. To see where a specific mark is, give an argument to the ":marks" command: > :marks M You can also give several arguments: > :marks MCP Don't forget that you can use CTRL-O and CTRL-I to jump to older and newer positions without placing marks there. ============================================================================== 07.4 Backup files Usually Vim does not produce a backup file. If you want to have one, all you need to do is execute the following command: > :set backup The name of the backup file is the original file with a ~ added to the end. If your file is named data.txt, for example, the backup file name is data.txt~. If you do not like the fact that the backup files end with ~, you can change the extension: > :set backupext=.bak This will use data.txt.bak instead of data.txt~. Another option that matters here is 'backupdir'. It specifies where the backup file is written. The default, to write the backup in the same directory as the original file, will mostly be the right thing. Note: When the 'backup' option isn't set but the 'writebackup' is, Vim will still create a backup file. However, it is deleted as soon as writing the file was completed successfully. This functions as a safety against losing your original file when writing fails in some way (disk full is the most common cause; being hit by lightning might be another, although less common). KEEPING THE ORIGINAL FILE If you are editing source files, you might want to keep the file before you make any changes. But the backup file will be overwritten each time you write the file. Thus it only contains the previous version, not the first one. To make Vim keep the original file, set the 'patchmode' option. This specifies the extension used for the first backup of a changed file. Usually you would do this: > :set patchmode=.orig When you now edit the file data.txt for the first time, make changes and write the file, Vim will keep a copy of the unchanged file under the name "data.txt.orig". If you make further changes to the file, Vim will notice that "data.txt.orig" already exists and leave it alone. Further backup files will then be called "data.txt~" (or whatever you specified with 'backupext'). If you leave 'patchmode' empty (that is the default), the original file will not be kept. ============================================================================== 07.5 Copy text between files This explains how to copy text from one file to another. Let's start with a simple example. Edit the file that contains the text you want to copy. Move the cursor to the start of the text and press "v". This starts Visual mode. Now move the cursor to the end of the text and press "y". This yanks (copies) the selected text. To copy the above paragraph, you would do: > :edit thisfile /This vjjjj$y Now edit the file you want to put the text in. Move the cursor to the character where you want the text to appear after. Use "p" to put the text there. > :edit otherfile /There p Of course you can use many other commands to yank the text. For example, to select whole lines start Visual mode with "V". Or use CTRL-V to select a rectangular block. Or use "Y" to yank a single line, "yaw" to yank-a-word, etc. The "p" command puts the text after the cursor. Use "P" to put the text before the cursor. Notice that Vim remembers if you yanked a whole line or a block, and puts it back that way. USING REGISTERS When you want to copy several pieces of text from one file to another, having to switch between the files and writing the target file takes a lot of time. To avoid this, copy each piece of text to its own register. A register is a place where Vim stores text. Here we will use the registers named a to z (later you will find out there are others). Let's copy a sentence to the f register (f for First): > "fyas The "yas" command yanks a sentence like before. It's the "f that tells Vim the text should be placed in the f register. This must come just before the yank command. Now yank three whole lines to the l register (l for line): > "l3Y The count could be before the "l just as well. To yank a block of text to the b (for block) register: > CTRL-Vjjww"by Notice that the register specification "b is just before the "y" command. This is required. If you would have put it before the "w" command, it would not have worked. Now you have three pieces of text in the f, l and b registers. Edit another file, move around and place the text where you want it: > "fp Again, the register specification "f comes before the "p" command. You can put the registers in any order. And the text stays in the register until you yank something else into it. Thus you can put it as many times as you like. When you delete text, you can also specify a register. Use this to move several pieces of text around. For example, to delete-a-word and write it in the w register: > "wdaw Again, the register specification comes before the delete command "d". APPENDING TO A FILE When collecting lines of text into one file, you can use this command: > :write >> logfile This will write the text of the current file to the end of "logfile". Thus it is appended. This avoids that you have to copy the lines, edit the log file and put them there. Thus you save two steps. But you can only append to the end of a file. To append only a few lines, select them in Visual mode before typing ":write". In chapter 10 you will learn other ways to select a range of lines. ============================================================================== 07.6 Viewing a file Sometimes you only want to see what a file contains, without the intention to ever write it back. There is the risk that you type ":w" without thinking and overwrite the original file anyway. To avoid this, edit the file read-only. To start Vim in readonly mode, use this command: > vim -R file On Unix this command should do the same thing: > view file You are now editing "file" in read-only mode. When you try using ":w" you will get an error message and the file won't be written. When you try to make a change to the file Vim will give you a warning: W10: Warning: Changing a readonly file ~ The change will be done though. This allows for formatting the file, for example, to be able to read it easily. If you make changes to a file and forgot that it was read-only, you can still write it. Add the ! to the write command to force writing. If you really want to forbid making changes in a file, do this: > vim -M file Now every attempt to change the text will fail. The help files are like this, for example. If you try to make a change you get this error message: E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is off ~ You could use the -M argument to setup Vim to work in a viewer mode. This is only voluntary though, since these commands will remove the protection: > :set modifiable :set write ============================================================================== 07.7 Changing the file name A clever way to start editing a new file is by using an existing file that contains most of what you need. For example, you start writing a new program to move a file. You know that you already have a program that copies a file, thus you start with: > :edit copy.c You can delete the stuff you don't need. Now you need to save the file under a new name. The ":saveas" command can be used for this: > :saveas move.c Vim will write the file under the given name, and edit that file. Thus the next time you do ":write", it will write "move.c". "copy.c" remains unmodified. When you want to change the name of the file you are editing, but don't want to write the file, you can use this command: > :file move.c Vim will mark the file as "not edited". This means that Vim knows this is not the file you started editing. When you try to write the file, you might get this message: E13: File exists (use ! to override) ~ This protects you from accidentally overwriting another file. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_08.txt\| Splitting windows Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	15.62 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_08.txt usr_08.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2017 Aug 11 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Splitting windows Display two different files above each other. Or view two locations in the file at the same time. See the difference between two files by putting them side by side. All this is possible with split windows. \|08.1\| Split a window \|08.2\| Split a window on another file \|08.3\| Window size \|08.4\| Vertical splits \|08.5\| Moving windows \|08.6\| Commands for all windows \|08.7\| Viewing differences with vimdiff \|08.8\| Various \|08.9\| Tab pages Next chapter: \|usr_09.txt\| Using the GUI Previous chapter: \|usr_07.txt\| Editing more than one file Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 08.1 Split a window The easiest way to open a new window is to use the following command: > :split This command splits the screen into two windows and leaves the cursor in the top one: +----------------------------------+ \|/* file one.c / \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|one.c=============================\| \|/ file one.c / \| \|~ \| \|one.c=============================\| \| \| +----------------------------------+ What you see here is two windows on the same file. The line with "====" is the status line. It displays information about the window above it. (In practice the status line will be in reverse video.) The two windows allow you to view two parts of the same file. For example, you could make the top window show the variable declarations of a program, and the bottom one the code that uses these variables. The CTRL-W w command can be used to jump between the windows. If you are in the top window, CTRL-W w jumps to the window below it. If you are in the bottom window it will jump to the first window. (CTRL-W CTRL-W does the same thing, in case you let go of the CTRL key a bit later.) CLOSE THE WINDOW To close a window, use the command: > :close Actually, any command that quits editing a file works, like ":quit" and "ZZ". But ":close" prevents you from accidentally exiting Vim when you close the last window. CLOSING ALL OTHER WINDOWS If you have opened a whole bunch of windows, but now want to concentrate on one of them, this command will be useful: > :only This closes all windows, except for the current one. If any of the other windows has changes, you will get an error message and that window won't be closed. ============================================================================== 08.2* Split a window on another file The following command opens a second window and starts editing the given file: > :split two.c If you were editing one.c, then the result looks like this: +----------------------------------+ \|/* file two.c / \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|two.c=============================\| \|/ file one.c / \| \|~ \| \|one.c=============================\| \| \| +----------------------------------+ To open a window on a new, empty file, use this: > :new You can repeat the ":split" and ":new" commands to create as many windows as you like. ============================================================================== 08.3* Window size The ":split" command can take a number argument. If specified, this will be the height of the new window. For example, the following opens a new window three lines high and starts editing the file alpha.c: > :3split alpha.c For existing windows you can change the size in several ways. When you have a working mouse, it is easy: Move the mouse pointer to the status line that separates two windows, and drag it up or down. To increase the size of a window: > CTRL-W + To decrease it: > CTRL-W - Both of these commands take a count and increase or decrease the window size by that many lines. Thus "4 CTRL-W +" make the window four lines higher. To set the window height to a specified number of lines: > {height}CTRL-W _ That's: a number {height}, CTRL-W and then an underscore (the - key with Shift on English-US keyboards). To make a window as high as it can be, use the CTRL-W _ command without a count. USING THE MOUSE In Vim you can do many things very quickly from the keyboard. Unfortunately, the window resizing commands require quite a bit of typing. In this case, using the mouse is faster. Position the mouse pointer on a status line. Now press the left mouse button and drag. The status line will move, thus making the window on one side higher and the other smaller. OPTIONS The 'winheight' option can be set to a minimal desired height of a window and 'winminheight' to a hard minimum height. Likewise, there is 'winwidth' for the minimal desired width and 'winminwidth' for the hard minimum width. The 'equalalways' option, when set, makes Vim equalize the windows sizes when a window is closed or opened. ============================================================================== 08.4 Vertical splits The ":split" command creates the new window above the current one. To make the window appear at the left side, use: > :vsplit or: > :vsplit two.c The result looks something like this: +--------------------------------------+ \|/* file two.c / \|/ file one.c / \| \|~ \|~ \| \|~ \|~ \| \|~ \|~ \| \|two.c===============one.c=============\| \| \| +--------------------------------------+ Actually, the \| lines in the middle will be in reverse video. This is called the vertical separator. It separates the two windows left and right of it. There is also the ":vnew" command, to open a vertically split window on a new, empty file. Another way to do this: > :vertical new The ":vertical" command can be inserted before another command that splits a window. This will cause that command to split the window vertically instead of horizontally. (If the command doesn't split a window, it works unmodified.) MOVING BETWEEN WINDOWS Since you can split windows horizontally and vertically as much as you like, you can create almost any layout of windows. Then you can use these commands to move between them: CTRL-W h move to the window on the left CTRL-W j move to the window below CTRL-W k move to the window above CTRL-W l move to the window on the right CTRL-W t move to the TOP window CTRL-W b move to the BOTTOM window You will notice the same letters as used for moving the cursor. And the cursor keys can also be used, if you like. More commands to move to other windows: \|Q_wi\|. ============================================================================== 08.5* Moving windows You have split a few windows, but now they are in the wrong place. Then you need a command to move the window somewhere else. For example, you have three windows like this: +----------------------------------+ \|/* file two.c / \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|two.c=============================\| \|/ file three.c / \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|three.c===========================\| \|/ file one.c / \| \|~ \| \|one.c=============================\| \| \| +----------------------------------+ Clearly the last one should be at the top. Go to that window (using CTRL-W w) and the type this command: > CTRL-W K This uses the uppercase letter K. What happens is that the window is moved to the very top. You will notice that K is again used for moving upwards. When you have vertical splits, CTRL-W K will move the current window to the top and make it occupy the full width of the Vim window. If this is your layout: +-------------------------------------------+ \|/ two.c / \|/ three.c / \|/ one.c / \| \|~ \|~ \|~ \| \|~ \|~ \|~ \| \|~ \|~ \|~ \| \|~ \|~ \|~ \| \|~ \|~ \|~ \| \|two.c=========three.c=========one.c========\| \| \| +-------------------------------------------+ Then using CTRL-W K in the middle window (three.c) will result in: +-------------------------------------------+ \|/ three.c / \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|three.c====================================\| \|/ two.c / \|/ one.c / \| \|~ \|~ \| \|two.c==================one.c===============\| \| \| +-------------------------------------------+ The other three similar commands (you can probably guess these now): CTRL-W H move window to the far left CTRL-W J move window to the bottom CTRL-W L move window to the far right ============================================================================== 08.6* Commands for all windows When you have several windows open and you want to quit Vim, you can close each window separately. A quicker way is using this command: > :qall This stands for "quit all". If any of the windows contain changes, Vim will not exit. The cursor will automatically be positioned in a window with changes. You can then either use ":write" to save the changes, or ":quit!" to throw them away. If you know there are windows with changes, and you want to save all these changes, use this command: > :wall This stands for "write all". But actually, it only writes files with changes. Vim knows it doesn't make sense to write files that were not changed. And then there is the combination of ":qall" and ":wall": the "write and quit all" command: > :wqall This writes all modified files and quits Vim. Finally, there is a command that quits Vim and throws away all changes: > :qall! Be careful, there is no way to undo this command! OPENING A WINDOW FOR ALL ARGUMENTS To make Vim open a window for each file, start it with the "-o" argument: > vim -o one.txt two.txt three.txt This results in: +-------------------------------+ \|file one.txt \| \|~ \| \|one.txt========================\| \|file two.txt \| \|~ \| \|two.txt========================\| \|file three.txt \| \|~ \| \|three.txt======================\| \| \| +-------------------------------+ The "-O" argument is used to get vertically split windows. When Vim is already running, the ":all" command opens a window for each file in the argument list. ":vertical all" does it with vertical splits. ============================================================================== 08.7 Viewing differences with vimdiff There is a special way to start Vim, which shows the differences between two files. Let's take a file "main.c" and insert a few characters in one line. Write this file with the 'backup' option set, so that the backup file "main.c~" will contain the previous version of the file. Type this command in a shell (not in Vim): > vimdiff main.c~ main.c Vim will start, with two windows side by side. You will only see the line in which you added characters, and a few lines above and below it. VV VV +-----------------------------------------+ \|+ +--123 lines: /* a\|+ +--123 lines: /* a\| <- fold \| text \| text \| \| text \| text \| \| text \| text \| \| text \| changed text \| <- changed line \| text \| text \| \| text \| ------------------\| <- deleted line \| text \| text \| \| text \| text \| \| text \| text \| \|+ +--432 lines: text\|+ +--432 lines: text\| <- fold \| ~ \| ~ \| \| ~ \| ~ \| \|main.c~==============main.c==============\| \| \| +-----------------------------------------+ (This picture doesn't show the highlighting, use the vimdiff command for a better look.) The lines that were not modified have been collapsed into one line. This is called a closed fold. They are indicated in the picture with "<- fold". Thus the single fold line at the top stands for 123 text lines. These lines are equal in both files. The line marked with "<- changed line" is highlighted, and the inserted text is displayed with another color. This clearly shows what the difference is between the two files. The line that was deleted is displayed with "---" in the main.c window. See the "<- deleted line" marker in the picture. These characters are not really there. They just fill up main.c, so that it displays the same number of lines as the other window. THE FOLD COLUMN Each window has a column on the left with a slightly different background. In the picture above these are indicated with "VV". You notice there is a plus character there, in front of each closed fold. Move the mouse pointer to that plus and click the left button. The fold will open, and you can see the text that it contains. The fold column contains a minus sign for an open fold. If you click on this -, the fold will close. Obviously, this only works when you have a working mouse. You can also use "zo" to open a fold and "zc" to close it. DIFFING IN VIM Another way to start in diff mode can be done from inside Vim. Edit the "main.c" file, then make a split and show the differences: > :edit main.c :vertical diffsplit main.c~ The ":vertical" command is used to make the window split vertically. If you omit this, you will get a horizontal split. If you have a patch or diff file, you can use the third way to start diff mode. First edit the file to which the patch applies. Then tell Vim the name of the patch file: > :edit main.c :vertical diffpatch main.c.diff WARNING: The patch file must contain only one patch, for the file you are editing. Otherwise you will get a lot of error messages, and some files might be patched unexpectedly. The patching will only be done to the copy of the file in Vim. The file on your harddisk will remain unmodified (until you decide to write the file). SCROLL BINDING When the files have more changes, you can scroll in the usual way. Vim will try to keep both the windows start at the same position, so you can easily see the differences side by side. When you don't want this for a moment, use this command: > :set noscrollbind JUMPING TO CHANGES When you have disabled folding in some way, it may be difficult to find the changes. Use this command to jump forward to the next change: > ]c To go the other way use: > [c Prepended a count to jump further away. REMOVING CHANGES You can move text from one window to the other. This either removes differences or adds new ones. Vim doesn't keep the highlighting updated in all situations. To update it use this command: > :diffupdate To remove a difference, you can move the text in a highlighted block from one window to another. Take the "main.c" and "main.c~" example above. Move the cursor to the left window, on the line that was deleted in the other window. Now type this command: > dp The change will be removed by putting the text of the current window in the other window. "dp" stands for "diff put". You can also do it the other way around. Move the cursor to the right window, to the line where "changed" was inserted. Now type this command: > do The change will now be removed by getting the text from the other window. Since there are no changes left now, Vim puts all text in a closed fold. "do" stands for "diff obtain". "dg" would have been better, but that already has a different meaning ("dgg" deletes from the cursor until the first line). For details about diff mode, see \|vimdiff\|. ============================================================================== 08.8 Various The 'laststatus' option can be used to specify when the last window has a statusline: 0 never 1 only when there are split windows (the default) 2 always Many commands that edit another file have a variant that splits the window. For Command-line commands this is done by prepending an "s". For example: ":tag" jumps to a tag, ":stag" splits the window and jumps to a tag. For Normal mode commands a CTRL-W is prepended. CTRL-^ jumps to the alternate file, CTRL-W CTRL-^ splits the window and edits the alternate file. The 'splitbelow' option can be set to make a new window appear below the current window. The 'splitright' option can be set to make a vertically split window appear right of the current window. When splitting a window you can prepend a modifier command to tell where the window is to appear: :leftabove {cmd} left or above the current window :aboveleft {cmd} idem :rightbelow {cmd} right or below the current window :belowright {cmd} idem :topleft {cmd} at the top or left of the Vim window :botright {cmd} at the bottom or right of the Vim window ============================================================================== 08.9 Tab pages You will have noticed that windows never overlap. That means you quickly run out of screen space. The solution for this is called Tab pages. Assume you are editing "thisfile". To create a new tab page use this command: > :tabedit thatfile This will edit the file "thatfile" in a window that occupies the whole Vim window. And you will notice a bar at the top with the two file names: +----------------------------------+ \| thisfile \| /thatfile/ __________X\| (thatfile is bold) \|/* thatfile / \| \|that \| \|that \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \| \| +----------------------------------+ You now have two tab pages. The first one has a window for "thisfile" and the second one a window for "thatfile". It's like two pages that are on top of each other, with a tab sticking out of each page showing the file name. Now use the mouse to click on "thisfile" in the top line. The result is +----------------------------------+ \| /thisfile/ \| thatfile __________X\| (thisfile is bold) \|/ thisfile / \| \|this \| \|this \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \| \| +----------------------------------+ Thus you can switch between tab pages by clicking on the label in the top line. If you don't have a mouse or don't want to use it, you can use the "gt" command. Mnemonic: Goto Tab. Now let's create another tab page with the command: > :tab split This makes a new tab page with one window that is editing the same buffer as the window we were in: +-------------------------------------+ \| thisfile \| /thisfile/ \| thatfile __X\| (thisfile is bold) \|/ thisfile */ \| \|this \| \|this \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \|~ \| \| \| +-------------------------------------+ You can put ":tab" before any Ex command that opens a window. The window will be opened in a new tab page. Another example: > :tab help gt Will show the help text for "gt" in a new tab page. A few more things you can do with tab pages: - click with the mouse in the space after the last label The next tab page will be selected, like with "gt". - click with the mouse on the "X" in the top right corner The current tab page will be closed. Unless there are unsaved changes in the current tab page. - double click with the mouse in the top line A new tab page will be created. - the "tabonly" command Closes all tab pages except the current one. Unless there are unsaved changes in other tab pages. For more information about tab pages see \|tab-page\|. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_09.txt\| Using the GUI Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	18.92 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_09.txt usr_09.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2017 Aug 11 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Using the GUI Vim works in an ordinary terminal, while gVim has a Graphical User Interface (GUI). It can do the same things and a few more. The GUI offers menus, a toolbar, scrollbars and other items. This chapter is about these extra things that the GUI offers. \|09.1\| Parts of the GUI \|09.2\| Using the mouse \|09.3\| The clipboard \|09.4\| Select mode Next chapter: \|usr_10.txt\| Making big changes Previous chapter: \|usr_08.txt\| Splitting windows Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 09.1 Parts of the GUI You might have an icon on your desktop that starts gvim. Otherwise, one of these commands should do it: > gvim file.txt vim -g file.txt If this doesn't work you don't have a version of Vim with GUI support. You will have to install one first. Vim will open a window and display "file.txt" in it. What the window looks like depends on the version of Vim. It should resemble the following picture (for as far as this can be shown in ASCII!). +----------------------------------------------------+ \| file.txt + (~/dir) - VIM X \| <- window title +----------------------------------------------------+ \| File Edit Tools Syntax Buffers Window Help \| <- menubar +----------------------------------------------------+ \| aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg hhh iii jjj \| <- toolbar \| aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg hhh iii jjj \| +----------------------------------------------------+ \| file text \| ^ \| \| ~ \| # \| \| ~ \| # \| <- scrollbar \| ~ \| # \| \| ~ \| # \| \| ~ \| # \| \| \| V \| +----------------------------------------------------+ The largest space is occupied by the file text. This shows the file in the same way as in a terminal. With some different colors and another font perhaps. THE WINDOW TITLE At the very top is the window title. This is drawn by your window system. Vim will set the title to show the name of the current file. First comes the name of the file. Then some special characters and the directory of the file in parens. These special characters can be present: - The file cannot be modified (e.g., a help file) + The file contains changes = The file is read-only =+ The file is read-only, contains changes anyway If nothing is shown you have an ordinary, unchanged file. THE MENUBAR You know how menus work, right? Vim has the usual items, plus a few more. Browse them to get an idea of what you can use them for. A relevant submenu is Edit/Global Settings. You will find these entries: Toggle Toolbar make the toolbar appear/disappear Toggle Bottom Scrollbar make a scrollbar appear/disappear at the bottom Toggle Left Scrollbar make a scrollbar appear/disappear at the left Toggle Right Scrollbar make a scrollbar appear/disappear at the right On most systems you can tear-off the menus. Select the top item of the menu, the one that looks like a dashed line. You will get a separate window with the items of the menu. It will hang around until you close the window. THE TOOLBAR This contains icons for the most often used actions. Hopefully the icons are self-explanatory. There are tooltips to get an extra hint (move the mouse pointer to the icon without clicking and don't move it for a second). The "Edit/Global Settings/Toggle Toolbar" menu item can be used to make the toolbar disappear. If you never want a toolbar, use this command in your vimrc file: > :set guioptions-=T This removes the 'T' flag from the 'guioptions' option. Other parts of the GUI can also be enabled or disabled with this option. See the help for it. THE SCROLLBARS By default there is one scrollbar on the right. It does the obvious thing. When you split the window, each window will get its own scrollbar. You can make a horizontal scrollbar appear with the menu item Edit/Global Settings/Toggle Bottom Scrollbar. This is useful in diff mode, or when the 'wrap' option has been reset (more about that later). When there are vertically split windows, only the windows on the right side will have a scrollbar. However, when you move the cursor to a window on the left, it will be this one the that scrollbar controls. This takes a bit of time to get used to. When you work with vertically split windows, consider adding a scrollbar on the left. This can be done with a menu item, or with the 'guioptions' option: > :set guioptions+=l This adds the 'l' flag to 'guioptions'. ============================================================================== 09.2 Using the mouse Standards are wonderful. In Microsoft Windows, you can use the mouse to select text in a standard manner. The X Window system also has a standard system for using the mouse. Unfortunately, these two standards are not the same. Fortunately, you can customize Vim. You can make the behavior of the mouse work like an X Window system mouse or a Microsoft Windows mouse. The following command makes the mouse behave like an X Window mouse: > :behave xterm The following command makes the mouse work like a Microsoft Windows mouse: > :behave mswin The default behavior of the mouse on UNIX systems is xterm. The default behavior on a Microsoft Windows system is selected during the installation process. For details about what the two behaviors are, see \|:behave\|. Here follows a summary. XTERM MOUSE BEHAVIOR Left mouse click position the cursor Left mouse drag select text in Visual mode Middle mouse click paste text from the clipboard Right mouse click extend the selected text until the mouse pointer MSWIN MOUSE BEHAVIOR Left mouse click position the cursor Left mouse drag select text in Select mode (see \|09.4\|) Left mouse click, with Shift extend the selected text until the mouse pointer Middle mouse click paste text from the clipboard Right mouse click display a pop-up menu The mouse can be further tuned. Check out these options if you want to change the way how the mouse works: 'mouse' in which mode the mouse is used by Vim 'mousemodel' what effect a mouse click has 'mousetime' time between clicks for a double-click 'mousehide' hide the mouse while typing 'selectmode' whether the mouse starts Visual or Select mode ============================================================================== 09.3 The clipboard In section \|04.7\| the basic use of the clipboard was explained. There is one essential thing to explain about X-windows: There are actually two places to exchange text between programs. MS-Windows doesn't have this. In X-Windows there is the "current selection". This is the text that is currently highlighted. In Vim this is the Visual area (this assumes you are using the default option settings). You can paste this selection in another application without any further action. For example, in this text select a few words with the mouse. Vim will switch to Visual mode and highlight the text. Now start another gvim, without a file name argument, so that it displays an empty window. Click the middle mouse button. The selected text will be inserted. The "current selection" will only remain valid until some other text is selected. After doing the paste in the other gvim, now select some characters in that window. You will notice that the words that were previously selected in the other gvim window are displayed differently. This means that it no longer is the current selection. You don't need to select text with the mouse, using the keyboard commands for Visual mode works just as well. THE REAL CLIPBOARD Now for the other place with which text can be exchanged. We call this the "real clipboard", to avoid confusion. Often both the "current selection" and the "real clipboard" are called clipboard, you'll have to get used to that. To put text on the real clipboard, select a few different words in one of the gvims you have running. Then use the Edit/Copy menu entry. Now the text has been copied to the real clipboard. You can't see this, unless you have some application that shows the clipboard contents (e.g., KDE's Klipper). Now select the other gvim, position the cursor somewhere and use the Edit/Paste menu. You will see the text from the real clipboard is inserted. USING BOTH This use of both the "current selection" and the "real clipboard" might sound a bit confusing. But it is very useful. Let's show this with an example. Use one gvim with a text file and perform these actions: - Select two words in Visual mode. - Use the Edit/Copy menu to get these words onto the clipboard. - Select one other word in Visual mode. - Use the Edit/Paste menu item. What will happen is that the single selected word is replaced with the two words from the clipboard. - Move the mouse pointer somewhere else and click the middle button. You will see that the word you just overwrote with the clipboard is inserted here. If you use the "current selection" and the "real clipboard" with care, you can do a lot of useful editing with them. USING THE KEYBOARD If you don't like using the mouse, you can access the current selection and the real clipboard with two registers. The "* register is for the current selection. To make text become the current selection, use Visual mode. For example, to select a whole line just press "V". To insert the current selection before the cursor: > "P Notice the uppercase "P". The lowercase "p" puts the text after the cursor. The "+ register is used for the real clipboard. For example, to copy the text from the cursor position until the end of the line to the clipboard: > "+y$ Remember, "y" is yank, which is Vim's copy command. To insert the contents of the real clipboard before the cursor: > "+P It's the same as for the current selection, but uses the plus (+) register instead of the star () register. ============================================================================== 09.4 Select mode And now something that is used more often on MS-Windows than on X-Windows. But both can do it. You already know about Visual mode. Select mode is like Visual mode, because it is also used to select text. But there is an obvious difference: When typing text, the selected text is deleted and the typed text replaces it. To start working with Select mode, you must first enable it (for MS-Windows it is probably already enabled, but you can do this anyway): > :set selectmode+=mouse Now use the mouse to select some text. It is highlighted like in Visual mode. Now press a letter. The selected text is deleted, and the single letter replaces it. You are in Insert mode now, thus you can continue typing. Since typing normal text causes the selected text to be deleted, you can not use the normal movement commands "hjkl", "w", etc. Instead, use the shifted function keys. <S-Left> (shifted cursor left key) moves the cursor left. The selected text is changed like in Visual mode. The other shifted cursor keys do what you expect. <S-End> and <S-Home> also work. You can tune the way Select mode works with the 'selectmode' option. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_10.txt\| Making big changes Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	11.23 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_10.txt usr_10.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Nov 22 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Making big changes In chapter 4 several ways to make small changes were explained. This chapter goes into making changes that are repeated or can affect a large amount of text. The Visual mode allows doing various things with blocks of text. Use an external program to do really complicated things. \|10.1\| Record and playback commands \|10.2\| Substitution \|10.3\| Command ranges \|10.4\| The global command \|10.5\| Visual block mode \|10.6\| Reading and writing part of a file \|10.7\| Formatting text \|10.8\| Changing case \|10.9\| Using an external program Next chapter: \|usr_11.txt\| Recovering from a crash Previous chapter: \|usr_09.txt\| Using the GUI Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 10.1 Record and playback commands The "." command repeats the preceding change. But what if you want to do something more complex than a single change? That's where command recording comes in. There are three steps: 1. The "q{register}" command starts recording keystrokes into the register named {register}. The register name must be between a and z. 2. Type your commands. 3. To finish recording, press q (without any extra character). You can now execute the macro by typing the command "@{register}". Take a look at how to use these commands in practice. You have a list of filenames that look like this: stdio.h ~ fcntl.h ~ unistd.h ~ stdlib.h ~ And what you want is the following: #include "stdio.h" ~ #include "fcntl.h" ~ #include "unistd.h" ~ #include "stdlib.h" ~ You start by moving to the first character of the first line. Next you execute the following commands: qa Start recording a macro in register a. ^ Move to the beginning of the line. i#include "<Esc> Insert the string #include " at the beginning of the line. $ Move to the end of the line. a"<Esc> Append the character double quotation mark (") to the end of the line. j Go to the next line. q Stop recording the macro. Now that you have done the work once, you can repeat the change by typing the command "@a" three times. The "@a" command can be preceded by a count, which will cause the macro to be executed that number of times. In this case you would type: > 3@a MOVE AND EXECUTE You might have the lines you want to change in various places. Just move the cursor to each location and use the "@a" command. If you have done that once, you can do it again with "@@". That's a bit easier to type. If you now execute register b with "@b", the next "@@" will use register b. If you compare the playback method with using ".", there are several differences. First of all, "." can only repeat one change. As seen in the example above, "@a" can do several changes, and move around as well. Secondly, "." can only remember the last change. Executing a register allows you to make any changes and then still use "@a" to replay the recorded commands. Finally, you can use 26 different registers. Thus you can remember 26 different command sequences to execute. USING REGISTERS The registers used for recording are the same ones you used for yank and delete commands. This allows you to mix recording with other commands to manipulate the registers. Suppose you have recorded a few commands in register n. When you execute this with "@n" you notice you did something wrong. You could try recording again, but perhaps you will make another mistake. Instead, use this trick: G Go to the end of the file. o<Esc> Create an empty line. "np Put the text from the n register. You now see the commands you typed as text in the file. {edits} Change the commands that were wrong. This is just like editing text. 0 Go to the start of the line. "ny$ Yank the corrected commands into the n register. dd Delete the scratch line. Now you can execute the corrected commands with "@n". (If your recorded commands include line breaks, adjust the last two items in the example to include all the lines.) APPENDING TO A REGISTER So far we have used a lowercase letter for the register name. To append to a register, use an uppercase letter. Suppose you have recorded a command to change a word to register c. It works properly, but you would like to add a search for the next word to change. This can be done with: > qC/word<Enter>q You start with "qC", which records to the c register and appends. Thus writing to an uppercase register name means to append to the register with the same letter, but lowercase. This works both with recording and with yank and delete commands. For example, you want to collect a sequence of lines into the a register. Yank the first line with: > "aY Now move to the second line, and type: > "AY Repeat this command for all lines. The a register now contains all those lines, in the order you yanked them. ============================================================================== 10.2 Substitution find-replace The ":substitute" command enables you to perform string replacements on a whole range of lines. The general form of this command is as follows: > :[range]substitute/from/to/[flags] This command changes the "from" string to the "to" string in the lines specified with [range]. For example, you can change "Professor" to "Teacher" in all lines with the following command: > :%substitute/Professor/Teacher/ < Note: The ":substitute" command is almost never spelled out completely. Most of the time, people use the abbreviated version ":s". From here on the abbreviation will be used. The "%" before the command specifies the command works on all lines. Without a range, ":s" only works on the current line. More about ranges in the next section \|10.3\|. By default, the ":substitute" command changes only the first occurrence on each line. For example, the preceding command changes the line: Professor Smith criticized Professor Johnson today. ~ to: Teacher Smith criticized Professor Johnson today. ~ To change every occurrence on the line, you need to add the g (global) flag. The command: > :%s/Professor/Teacher/g results in (starting with the original line): Teacher Smith criticized Teacher Johnson today. ~ Other flags include p (print), which causes the ":substitute" command to print out the last line it changes. The c (confirm) flag tells ":substitute" to ask you for confirmation before it performs each substitution. Enter the following: > :%s/Professor/Teacher/c Vim finds the first occurrence of "Professor" and displays the text it is about to change. You get the following prompt: > replace with Teacher (y/n/a/q/l/^E/^Y)? At this point, you must enter one of the following answers: y Yes; make this change. n No; skip this match. a All; make this change and all remaining ones without further confirmation. q Quit; don't make any more changes. l Last; make this change and then quit. CTRL-E Scroll the text one line up. CTRL-Y Scroll the text one line down. The "from" part of the substitute command is actually a pattern. The same kind as used for the search command. For example, this command only substitutes "the" when it appears at the start of a line: > :s/^the/these/ If you are substituting with a "from" or "to" part that includes a slash, you need to put a backslash before it. A simpler way is to use another character instead of the slash. A plus, for example: > :s+one/two+one or two+ ============================================================================== 10.3 Command ranges The ":substitute" command, and many other : commands, can be applied to a selection of lines. This is called a range. The simple form of a range is {number},{number}. For example: > :1,5s/this/that/g Executes the substitute command on the lines 1 to 5. Line 5 is included. The range is always placed before the command. A single number can be used to address one specific line: > :54s/President/Fool/ Some commands work on the whole file when you do not specify a range. To make them work on the current line the "." address is used. The ":write" command works like that. Without a range, it writes the whole file. To make it write only the current line into a file: > :.write otherfile The first line always has number one. How about the last line? The "$" character is used for this. For example, to substitute in the lines from the cursor to the end: > :.,$s/yes/no/ The "%" range that we used before, is actually a short way to say "1,$", from the first to the last line. USING A PATTERN IN A RANGE Suppose you are editing a chapter in a book, and want to replace all occurrences of "grey" with "gray". But only in this chapter, not in the next one. You know that only chapter boundaries have the word "Chapter" in the first column. This command will work then: > :?^Chapter?,/^Chapter/s=grey=gray=g You can see a search pattern is used twice. The first "?^Chapter?" finds the line above the current position that matches this pattern. Thus the ?pattern? range is used to search backwards. Similarly, "/^Chapter/" is used to search forward for the start of the next chapter. To avoid confusion with the slashes, the "=" character was used in the substitute command here. A slash or another character would have worked as well. ADD AND SUBTRACT There is a slight error in the above command: If the title of the next chapter had included "grey" it would be replaced as well. Maybe that's what you wanted, but what if you didn't? Then you can specify an offset. To search for a pattern and then use the line above it: > /Chapter/-1 You can use any number instead of the 1. To address the second line below the match: > /Chapter/+2 The offsets can also be used with the other items in a range. Look at this one: > :.+3,$-5 This specifies the range that starts three lines below the cursor and ends five lines before the last line in the file. USING MARKS Instead of figuring out the line numbers of certain positions, remembering them and typing them in a range, you can use marks. Place the marks as mentioned in chapter 3. For example, use "mt" to mark the top of an area and "mb" to mark the bottom. Then you can use this range to specify the lines between the marks (including the lines with the marks): > :'t,'b VISUAL MODE AND RANGES You can select text with Visual mode. If you then press ":" to start a colon command, you will see this: > :'<,'> Now you can type the command and it will be applied to the range of lines that was visually selected. Note: When using Visual mode to select part of a line, or using CTRL-V to select a block of text, the colon commands will still apply to whole lines. This might change in a future version of Vim. The '< and '> are actually marks, placed at the start and end of the Visual selection. The marks remain at their position until another Visual selection is made. Thus you can use the "'<" command to jump to position where the Visual area started. And you can mix the marks with other items: > :'>,$ This addresses the lines from the end of the Visual area to the end of the file. A NUMBER OF LINES When you know how many lines you want to change, you can type the number and then ":". For example, when you type "5:", you will get: > :.,.+4 Now you can type the command you want to use. It will use the range "." (current line) until ".+4" (four lines down). Thus it spans five lines. ============================================================================== 10.4 The global command The ":global" command is one of the more powerful features of Vim. It allows you to find a match for a pattern and execute a command there. The general form is: > :[range]global/{pattern}/{command} This is similar to the ":substitute" command. But, instead of replacing the matched text with other text, the command {command} is executed. Note: The command executed for ":global" must be one that starts with a colon. Normal mode commands can not be used directly. The \|:normal\| command can do this for you. Suppose you want to change "foobar" to "barfoo", but only in C++ style comments. These comments start with "//". Use this command: > :g+//+s/foobar/barfoo/g This starts with ":g". That is short for ":global", just like ":s" is short for ":substitute". Then the pattern, enclosed in plus characters. Since the pattern we are looking for contains a slash, this uses the plus character to separate the pattern. Next comes the substitute command that changes "foobar" into "barfoo". The default range for the global command is the whole file. Thus no range was specified in this example. This is different from ":substitute", which works on one line without a range. The command isn't perfect, since it also matches lines where "//" appears halfway through a line, and the substitution will also take place before the "//". Just like with ":substitute", any pattern can be used. When you learn more complicated patterns later, you can use them here. ============================================================================== 10.5 Visual block mode With CTRL-V you can start selection of a rectangular area of text. There are a few commands that do something special with the text block. There is something special about using the "$" command in Visual block mode. When the last motion command used was "$", all lines in the Visual selection will extend until the end of the line, also when the line with the cursor is shorter. This remains effective until you use a motion command that moves the cursor horizontally. Thus using "j" keeps it, "h" stops it. INSERTING TEXT The command "I{string}<Esc>" inserts the text {string} in each line, just left of the visual block. You start by pressing CTRL-V to enter visual block mode. Now you move the cursor to define your block. Next you type I to enter Insert mode, followed by the text to insert. As you type, the text appears on the first line only. After you press <Esc> to end the insert, the text will magically be inserted in the rest of the lines contained in the visual selection. Example: include one ~ include two ~ include three ~ include four ~ Move the cursor to the "o" of "one" and press CTRL-V. Move it down with "3j" to "four". You now have a block selection that spans four lines. Now type: > Imain.<Esc> The result: include main.one ~ include main.two ~ include main.three ~ include main.four ~ If the block spans short lines that do not extend into the block, the text is not inserted in that line. For example, make a Visual block selection that includes the word "long" in the first and last line of this text, and thus has no text selected in the second line: This is a long line ~ short ~ Any other long line ~ ^^^^ selected block Now use the command "Ivery <Esc>". The result is: This is a very long line ~ short ~ Any other very long line ~ In the short line no text was inserted. If the string you insert contains a newline, the "I" acts just like a Normal insert command and affects only the first line of the block. The "A" command works the same way, except that it appends after the right side of the block. And it does insert text in a short line. Thus you can make a choice whether you do or don't want to append text to a short line. There is one special case for "A": Select a Visual block and then use "$" to make the block extend to the end of each line. Using "A" now will append the text to the end of each line. Using the same example from above, and then typing "$A XXX<Esc>, you get this result: This is a long line XXX ~ short XXX ~ Any other long line XXX ~ This really requires using the "$" command. Vim remembers that it was used. Making the same selection by moving the cursor to the end of the longest line with other movement commands will not have the same result. CHANGING TEXT The Visual block "c" command deletes the block and then throws you into Insert mode to enable you to type in a string. The string will be inserted in each line in the block. Starting with the same selection of the "long" words as above, then typing "c_LONG_<Esc>", you get this: This is a _LONG_ line ~ short ~ Any other _LONG_ line ~ Just like with "I" the short line is not changed. Also, you can't enter a newline in the new text. The "C" command deletes text from the left edge of the block to the end of line. It then puts you in Insert mode so that you can type in a string, which is added to the end of each line. Starting with the same text again, and typing "Cnew text<Esc>" you get: This is a new text ~ short ~ Any other new text ~ Notice that, even though only the "long" word was selected, the text after it is deleted as well. Thus only the location of the left edge of the visual block really matters. Again, short lines that do not reach into the block are excluded. Other commands that change the characters in the block: ~ swap case (a -> A and A -> a) U make uppercase (a -> A and A -> A) u make lowercase (a -> a and A -> a) FILLING WITH A CHARACTER To fill the whole block with one character, use the "r" command. Again, starting with the same example text from above, and then typing "rx": This is a xxxx line ~ short ~ Any other xxxx line ~ Note: If you want to include characters beyond the end of the line in the block, check out the 'virtualedit' feature in chapter 25. SHIFTING The command ">" shifts the selected text to the right one shift amount, inserting whitespace. The starting point for this shift is the left edge of the visual block. With the same example again, ">" gives this result: This is a long line ~ short ~ Any other long line ~ The shift amount is specified with the 'shiftwidth' option. To change it to use 4 spaces: > :set shiftwidth=4 The "<" command removes one shift amount of whitespace at the left edge of the block. This command is limited by the amount of text that is there; so if there is less than a shift amount of whitespace available, it removes what it can. JOINING LINES The "J" command joins all selected lines together into one line. Thus it removes the line breaks. Actually, the line break, leading white space and trailing white space is replaced by one space. Two spaces are used after a line ending (that can be changed with the 'joinspaces' option). Let's use the example that we got so familiar with now. The result of using the "J" command: This is a long line short Any other long line ~ The "J" command doesn't require a blockwise selection. It works with "v" and "V" selection in exactly the same way. If you don't want the white space to be changed, use the "gJ" command. ============================================================================== 10.6 Reading and writing part of a file When you are writing an e-mail message, you may want to include another file. This can be done with the ":read {filename}" command. The text of the file is put below the cursor line. Starting with this text: Hi John, ~ Here is the diff that fixes the bug: ~ Bye, Pierre. ~ Move the cursor to the second line and type: > :read patch The file named "patch" will be inserted, with this result: Hi John, ~ Here is the diff that fixes the bug: ~ 2c2 ~ < for (i = 0; i <= length; ++i) ~ --- ~ > for (i = 0; i < length; ++i) ~ Bye, Pierre. ~ The ":read" command accepts a range. The file will be put below the last line number of this range. Thus ":$r patch" appends the file "patch" at the end of the file. What if you want to read the file above the first line? This can be done with the line number zero. This line doesn't really exist, you will get an error message when using it with most commands. But this command is allowed: > :0read patch The file "patch" will be put above the first line of the file. WRITING A RANGE OF LINES To write a range of lines to a file, the ":write" command can be used. Without a range it writes the whole file. With a range only the specified lines are written: > :.,$write tempo This writes the lines from the cursor until the end of the file into the file "tempo". If this file already exists you will get an error message. Vim protects you from accidentally overwriting an existing file. If you know what you are doing and want to overwrite the file, append !: > :.,$write! tempo CAREFUL: The ! must follow the ":write" command immediately, without white space. Otherwise it becomes a filter command, which is explained later in this chapter. APPENDING TO A FILE In the first section of this chapter was explained how to collect a number of lines into a register. The same can be done to collect lines in a file. Write the first line with this command: > :.write collection Now move the cursor to the second line you want to collect, and type this: > :.write >>collection The ">>" tells Vim the "collection" file is not to be written as a new file, but the line must be appended at the end. You can repeat this as many times as you like. ============================================================================== 10.7 Formatting text When you are typing plain text, it's nice if the length of each line is automatically trimmed to fit in the window. To make this happen while inserting text, set the 'textwidth' option: > :set textwidth=72 You might remember that in the example vimrc file this command was used for every text file. Thus if you are using that vimrc file, you were already using it. To check the current value of 'textwidth': > :set textwidth Now lines will be broken to take only up to 72 characters. But when you insert text halfway through a line, or when you delete a few words, the lines will get too long or too short. Vim doesn't automatically reformat the text. To tell Vim to format the current paragraph: > gqap This starts with the "gq" command, which is an operator. Following is "ap", the text object that stands for "a paragraph". A paragraph is separated from the next paragraph by an empty line. Note: A blank line, which contains white space, does NOT separate paragraphs. This is hard to notice! Instead of "ap" you could use any motion or text object. If your paragraphs are properly separated, you can use this command to format the whole file: > gggqG "gg" takes you to the first line, "gq" is the format operator and "G" the motion that jumps to the last line. In case your paragraphs aren't clearly defined, you can format just the lines you manually select. Move the cursor to the first line you want to format. Start with the command "gqj". This formats the current line and the one below it. If the first line was short, words from the next line will be appended. If it was too long, words will be moved to the next line. The cursor moves to the second line. Now you can use "." to repeat the command. Keep doing this until you are at the end of the text you want to format. ============================================================================== 10.8 Changing case You have text with section headers in lowercase. You want to make the word "section" all uppercase. Do this with the "gU" operator. Start with the cursor in the first column: > gUw < section header ----> SECTION header The "gu" operator does exactly the opposite: > guw < SECTION header ----> section header You can also use "g~" to swap case. All these are operators, thus they work with any motion command, with text objects and in Visual mode. To make an operator work on lines you double it. The delete operator is "d", thus to delete a line you use "dd". Similarly, "gugu" makes a whole line lowercase. This can be shortened to "guu". "gUgU" is shortened to "gUU" and "g~g~" to "g~~". Example: > g~~ < Some GIRLS have Fun ----> sOME girls HAVE fUN ~ ============================================================================== 10.9 Using an external program Vim has a very powerful set of commands, it can do anything. But there may still be something that an external command can do better or faster. The command "!{motion}{program}" takes a block of text and filters it through an external program. In other words, it runs the system command represented by {program}, giving it the block of text represented by {motion} as input. The output of this command then replaces the selected block. Because this summarizes badly if you are unfamiliar with UNIX filters, take a look at an example. The sort command sorts a file. If you execute the following command, the unsorted file input.txt will be sorted and written to output.txt. (This works on both UNIX and Microsoft Windows.) > sort <input.txt >output.txt Now do the same thing in Vim. You want to sort lines 1 through 5 of a file. You start by putting the cursor on line 1. Next you execute the following command: > !5G The "!" tells Vim that you are performing a filter operation. The Vim editor expects a motion command to follow, indicating which part of the file to filter. The "5G" command tells Vim to go to line 5, so it now knows that it is to filter lines 1 (the current line) through 5. In anticipation of the filtering, the cursor drops to the bottom of the screen and a ! prompt displays. You can now type in the name of the filter program, in this case "sort". Therefore, your full command is as follows: > !5Gsort<Enter> The result is that the sort program is run on the first 5 lines. The output of the program replaces these lines. line 55 line 11 line 33 line 22 line 11 --> line 33 line 22 line 44 line 44 line 55 last line last line The "!!" command filters the current line through a filter. In Unix the "date" command prints the current time and date. "!!date<Enter>" replaces the current line with the output of "date". This is useful to add a timestamp to a file. WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK Starting a shell, sending it text and capturing the output requires that Vim knows how the shell works exactly. When you have problems with filtering, check the values of these options: 'shell' specifies the program that Vim uses to execute external programs. 'shellcmdflag' argument to pass a command to the shell 'shellquote' quote to be used around the command 'shellxquote' quote to be used around the command and redirection 'shelltype' kind of shell (only for the Amiga) 'shellslash' use forward slashes in the command (only for MS-Windows and alikes) 'shellredir' string used to write the command output into a file On Unix this is hardly ever a problem, because there are two kinds of shells: "sh" like and "csh" like. Vim checks the 'shell' option and sets related options automatically, depending on whether it sees "csh" somewhere in 'shell'. On MS-Windows, however, there are many different shells and you might have to tune the options to make filtering work. Check the help for the options for more information. READING COMMAND OUTPUT To read the contents of the current directory into the file, use this: on Unix: > :read !ls on MS-Windows: > :read !dir The output of the "ls" or "dir" command is captured and inserted in the text, below the cursor. This is similar to reading a file, except that the "!" is used to tell Vim that a command follows. The command may have arguments. And a range can be used to tell where Vim should put the lines: > :0read !date -u This inserts the current time and date in UTC format at the top of the file. (Well, if you have a date command that accepts the "-u" argument.) Note the difference with using "!!date": that replaced a line, while ":read !date" will insert a line. WRITING TEXT TO A COMMAND The Unix command "wc" counts words. To count the words in the current file: > :write !wc This is the same write command as before, but instead of a file name the "!" character is used and the name of an external command. The written text will be passed to the specified command as its standard input. The output could look like this: 4 47 249 ~ The "wc" command isn't verbose. This means you have 4 lines, 47 words and 249 characters. Watch out for this mistake: > :write! wc This will write the file "wc" in the current directory, with force. White space is important here! REDRAWING THE SCREEN If the external command produced an error message, the display may have been messed up. Vim is very efficient and only redraws those parts of the screen that it knows need redrawing. But it can't know about what another program has written. To tell Vim to redraw the screen: > CTRL-L ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_11.txt\| Recovering from a crash Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	28.52 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_11.txt usr_11.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Oct 25 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Recovering from a crash Did your computer crash? And you just spent hours editing? Don't panic! Vim stores enough information to be able to restore most of your work. This chapter shows you how to get your work back and explains how the swap file is used. \|11.1\| Basic recovery \|11.2\| Where is the swap file? \|11.3\| Crashed or not? \|11.4\| Further reading Next chapter: \|usr_12.txt\| Clever tricks Previous chapter: \|usr_10.txt\| Making big changes Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 11.1 Basic recovery In most cases recovering a file is quite simple, assuming you know which file you were editing (and the harddisk is still working). Start Vim on the file, with the "-r" argument added: > vim -r help.txt Vim will read the swap file (used to store text you were editing) and may read bits and pieces of the original file. If Vim recovered your changes you will see these messages (with different file names, of course): Using swap file ".help.txt.swp" ~ Original file "~/vim/runtime/doc/help.txt" ~ Recovery completed. You should check if everything is OK. ~ (You might want to write out this file under another name ~ and run diff with the original file to check for changes) ~ You may want to delete the .swp file now. ~ To be on the safe side, write this file under another name: > :write help.txt.recovered Compare the file with the original file to check if you ended up with what you expected. Vimdiff is very useful for this \|08.7\|. For example: > :write help.txt.recovered :edit # :diffsp help.txt Watch out for the original file to contain a more recent version (you saved the file just before the computer crashed). And check that no lines are missing (something went wrong that Vim could not recover). If Vim produces warning messages when recovering, read them carefully. This is rare though. If the recovery resulted in text that is exactly the same as the file contents, you will get this message: Using swap file ".help.txt.swp" ~ Original file "~/vim/runtime/doc/help.txt" ~ Recovery completed. Buffer contents equals file contents. ~ You may want to delete the .swp file now. ~ This usually happens if you already recovered your changes, or you wrote the file after making changes. It is safe to delete the swap file now. It is normal that the last few changes can not be recovered. Vim flushes the changes to disk when you don't type for about four seconds, or after typing about two hundred characters. This is set with the 'updatetime' and 'updatecount' options. Thus when Vim didn't get a chance to save itself when the system went down, the changes after the last flush will be lost. If you were editing without a file name, give an empty string as argument: > vim -r "" You must be in the right directory, otherwise Vim can't find the swap file. ============================================================================== 11.2 Where is the swap file? Vim can store the swap file in several places. Normally it is in the same directory as the original file. To find it, change to the directory of the file, and use: > vim -r Vim will list the swap files that it can find. It will also look in other directories where the swap file for files in the current directory may be located. It will not find swap files in any other directories though, it doesn't search the directory tree. The output could look like this: Swap files found: ~ In current directory: ~ 1. .main.c.swp ~ owned by: mool dated: Tue May 29 21:00:25 2001 ~ file name: ~mool/vim/vim6/src/main.c ~ modified: YES ~ user name: mool host name: masaka.moolenaar.net ~ process ID: 12525 ~ In directory ~/tmp: ~ -- none -- ~ In directory /var/tmp: ~ -- none -- ~ In directory /tmp: ~ -- none -- ~ If there are several swap files that look like they may be the one you want to use, a list is given of these swap files and you are requested to enter the number of the one you want to use. Carefully look at the dates to decide which one you want to use. In case you don't know which one to use, just try them one by one and check the resulting files if they are what you expected. USING A SPECIFIC SWAP FILE If you know which swap file needs to be used, you can recover by giving the swap file name. Vim will then find out the name of the original file from the swap file. Example: > vim -r .help.txt.swo This is also handy when the swap file is in another directory than expected. Vim recognizes files with the pattern .s[uvw][a-z] as swap files. If this still does not work, see what file names Vim reports and rename the files accordingly. Check the 'directory' option to see where Vim may have put the swap file. Note: Vim tries to find the swap file by searching the directories in the 'dir' option, looking for files that match "filename.sw?". If wildcard expansion doesn't work (e.g., when the 'shell' option is invalid), Vim does a desperate try to find the file "filename.swp". If that fails too, you will have to give the name of the swapfile itself to be able to recover the file. ============================================================================== 11.3* Crashed or not? ATTENTION E325 Vim tries to protect you from doing stupid things. Suppose you innocently start editing a file, expecting the contents of the file to show up. Instead, Vim produces a very long message: E325: ATTENTION ~ Found a swap file by the name ".main.c.swp" ~ owned by: mool dated: Tue May 29 21:09:28 2001 ~ file name: ~mool/vim/vim6/src/main.c ~ modified: no ~ user name: mool host name: masaka.moolenaar.net ~ process ID: 12559 (still running) ~ While opening file "main.c" ~ dated: Tue May 29 19:46:12 2001 ~ ~ (1) Another program may be editing the same file. ~ If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two ~ different instances of the same file when making changes. ~ Quit, or continue with caution. ~ ~ (2) An edit session for this file crashed. ~ If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r main.c" ~ to recover the changes (see ":help recovery"). ~ If you did this already, delete the swap file ".main.c.swp" ~ to avoid this message. ~ You get this message, because, when starting to edit a file, Vim checks if a swap file already exists for that file. If there is one, there must be something wrong. It may be one of these two situations. 1. Another edit session is active on this file. Look in the message for the line with "process ID". It might look like this: process ID: 12559 (still running) ~ The text "(still running)" indicates that the process editing this file runs on the same computer. When working on a non-Unix system you will not get this extra hint. When editing a file over a network, you may not see the hint, because the process might be running on another computer. In those two cases you must find out what the situation is yourself. If there is another Vim editing the same file, continuing to edit will result in two versions of the same file. The one that is written last will overwrite the other one, resulting in loss of changes. You better quit this Vim. 2. The swap file might be the result from a previous crash of Vim or the computer. Check the dates mentioned in the message. If the date of the swap file is newer than the file you were editing, and this line appears: modified: YES ~ Then you very likely have a crashed edit session that is worth recovering. If the date of the file is newer than the date of the swap file, then either it was changed after the crash (perhaps you recovered it earlier, but didn't delete the swap file?), or else the file was saved before the crash but after the last write of the swap file (then you're lucky: you don't even need that old swap file). Vim will warn you for this with this extra line: NEWER than swap file! ~ NOTE that in the following situation Vim knows the swap file is not useful and will automatically delete it: - The file is a valid swap file (Magic number is correct). - The flag that the file was modified is not set. - The process is not running. You can programmatically deal with this situation with the \|FileChangedShell\| autocommand event. UNREADABLE SWAP FILE ~ Sometimes the line [cannot be read] ~ will appear under the name of the swap file. This can be good or bad, depending on circumstances. It is good if a previous editing session crashed without having made any changes to the file. Then a directory listing of the swap file will show that it has zero bytes. You may delete it and proceed. It is slightly bad if you don't have read permission for the swap file. You may want to view the file read-only, or quit. On multi-user systems, if you yourself did the last changes under a different login name, a logout followed by a login under that other name might cure the "read error". Or else you might want to find out who last edited (or is editing) the file and have a talk with them. It is very bad if it means there is a physical read error on the disk containing the swap file. Fortunately, this almost never happens. You may want to view the file read-only at first (if you can), to see the extent of the changes that were "forgotten". If you are the one in charge of that file, be prepared to redo your last changes. WHAT TO DO? swap-exists-choices If dialogs are supported you will be asked to select one of six choices: Swap file ".main.c.swp" already exists! ~ [O]pen Read-Only, (E)dit anyway, (R)ecover, (Q)uit, (A)bort, (D)elete it: ~ O Open the file readonly. Use this when you just want to view the file and don't need to recover it. You might want to use this when you know someone else is editing the file, but you just want to look in it and not make changes. E Edit the file anyway. Use this with caution! If the file is being edited in another Vim, you might end up with two versions of the file. Vim will try to warn you when this happens, but better be safe than sorry. R Recover the file from the swap file. Use this if you know that the swap file contains changes that you want to recover. Q Quit. This avoids starting to edit the file. Use this if there is another Vim editing the same file. When you just started Vim, this will exit Vim. When starting Vim with files in several windows, Vim quits only if there is a swap file for the first one. When using an edit command, the file will not be loaded and you are taken back to the previously edited file. A Abort. Like Quit, but also abort further commands. This is useful when loading a script that edits several files, such as a session with multiple windows. D Delete the swap file. Use this when you are sure you no longer need it. For example, when it doesn't contain changes, or when the file itself is newer than the swap file. On Unix this choice is only offered when the process that created the swap file does not appear to be running. If you do not get the dialog (you are running a version of Vim that does not support it), you will have to do it manually. To recover the file, use this command: > :recover Vim cannot always detect that a swap file already exists for a file. This is the case when the other edit session puts the swap files in another directory or when the path name for the file is different when editing it on different machines. Therefore, don't rely on Vim always warning you. If you really don't want to see this message, you can add the 'A' flag to the 'shortmess' option. But it's very unusual that you need this. For remarks about encryption and the swap file, see \|:recover-crypt\|. For programmatic access to the swap file, see \|swapinfo()\|. ============================================================================== 11.4 Further reading \|swap-file\| An explanation about where the swap file will be created and what its name is. \|:preserve\| Manually flushing the swap file to disk. \|:swapname\| See the name of the swap file for the current file. 'updatecount' Number of key strokes after which the swap file is flushed to disk. 'updatetime' Timeout after which the swap file is flushed to disk. 'swapsync' Whether the disk is synced when the swap file is flushed. 'directory' List of directory names where to store the swap file. 'maxmem' Limit for memory usage before writing text to the swap file. 'maxmemtot' Same, but for all files in total. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_12.txt\| Clever tricks Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	12.72 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_12.txt usr_12.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2017 Aug 11 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Clever tricks By combining several commands you can make Vim do nearly everything. In this chapter a number of useful combinations will be presented. This uses the commands introduced in the previous chapters and a few more. \|12.1\| Replace a word \|12.2\| Change "Last, First" to "First Last" \|12.3\| Sort a list \|12.4\| Reverse line order \|12.5\| Count words \|12.6\| Find a man page \|12.7\| Trim blanks \|12.8\| Find where a word is used Next chapter: \|usr_20.txt\| Typing command-line commands quickly Previous chapter: \|usr_11.txt\| Recovering from a crash Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 12.1 Replace a word The substitute command can be used to replace all occurrences of a word with another word: > :%s/four/4/g The "%" range means to replace in all lines. The "g" flag at the end causes all words in a line to be replaced. This will not do the right thing if your file also contains "thirtyfour". It would be replaced with "thirty4". To avoid this, use the "\<" item to match the start of a word: > :%s/\<four/4/g Obviously, this still goes wrong on "fourteen". Use "\>" to match the end of a word: > :%s/\<four\>/4/g If you are programming, you might want to replace "four" in comments, but not in the code. Since this is difficult to specify, add the "c" flag to have the substitute command prompt you for each replacement: > :%s/\<four\>/4/gc REPLACING IN SEVERAL FILES Suppose you want to replace a word in more than one file. You could edit each file and type the command manually. It's a lot faster to use record and playback. Let's assume you have a directory with C++ files, all ending in ".cpp". There is a function called "GetResp" that you want to rename to "GetAnswer". vim .cpp Start Vim, defining the argument list to contain all the C++ files. You are now in the first file. qq Start recording into the q register :%s/\<GetResp\>/GetAnswer/g Do the replacements in the first file. :wnext Write this file and move to the next one. q Stop recording. @q Execute the q register. This will replay the substitution and ":wnext". You can verify that this doesn't produce an error message. 999@q Execute the q register on the remaining files. At the last file you will get an error message, because ":wnext" cannot move to the next file. This stops the execution, and everything is done. Note: When playing back a recorded sequence, an error stops the execution. Therefore, make sure you don't get an error message when recording. There is one catch: If one of the .cpp files does not contain the word "GetResp", you will get an error and replacing will stop. To avoid this, add the "e" flag to the substitute command: > :%s/\<GetResp\>/GetAnswer/ge The "e" flag tells ":substitute" that not finding a match is not an error. ============================================================================== 12.2* Change "Last, First" to "First Last" You have a list of names in this form: Doe, John ~ Smith, Peter ~ You want to change that to: John Doe ~ Peter Smith ~ This can be done with just one command: > :%s/$[^,]$, $.$/\2 \1/ Let's break this down in parts. Obviously it starts with a substitute command. The "%" is the line range, which stands for the whole file. Thus the substitution is done in every line in the file. The arguments for the substitute command are "/from/to/". The slashes separate the "from" pattern and the "to" string. This is what the "from" pattern contains: $[^,]$, $.$ ~ The first part between matches "Last" match anything but a comma [^,] any number of times * matches ", " literally , The second part between matches "First" any character . any number of times * In the "to" part we have "\2" and "\1". These are called backreferences. They refer to the text matched by the "" parts in the pattern. "\2" refers to the text matched by the second "", which is the "First" name. "\1" refers to the first "", which is the "Last" name. You can use up to nine backreferences in the "to" part of a substitute command. "\0" stands for the whole matched pattern. There are a few more special items in a substitute command, see \|sub-replace-special\|. ============================================================================== 12.3 Sort a list In a Makefile you often have a list of files. For example: OBJS = \ ~ version.o \ ~ pch.o \ ~ getopt.o \ ~ util.o \ ~ getopt1.o \ ~ inp.o \ ~ patch.o \ ~ backup.o ~ To sort this list, filter the text through the external sort command: > /^OBJS j :.,/^$/-1!sort This goes to the first line, where "OBJS" is the first thing in the line. Then it goes one line down and filters the lines until the next empty line. You could also select the lines in Visual mode and then use "!sort". That's easier to type, but more work when there are many lines. The result is this: OBJS = \ ~ backup.o ~ getopt.o \ ~ getopt1.o \ ~ inp.o \ ~ patch.o \ ~ pch.o \ ~ util.o \ ~ version.o \ ~ Notice that a backslash at the end of each line is used to indicate the line continues. After sorting, this is wrong! The "backup.o" line that was at the end didn't have a backslash. Now that it sorts to another place, it must have a backslash. The simplest solution is to add the backslash with "A \<Esc>". You can keep the backslash in the last line, if you make sure an empty line comes after it. That way you don't have this problem again. ============================================================================== 12.4 Reverse line order The \|:global\| command can be combined with the \|:move\| command to move all the lines before the first line, resulting in a reversed file. The command is: > :global/^/m 0 Abbreviated: > :g/^/m 0 The "^" regular expression matches the beginning of the line (even if the line is blank). The \|:move\| command moves the matching line to after the mythical zeroth line, so the current matching line becomes the first line of the file. As the \|:global\| command is not confused by the changing line numbering, \|:global\| proceeds to match all remaining lines of the file and puts each as the first. This also works on a range of lines. First move to above the first line and mark it with "mt". Then move the cursor to the last line in the range and type: > :'t+1,.g/^/m 't ============================================================================== 12.5 Count words Sometimes you have to write a text with a maximum number of words. Vim can count the words for you. When the whole file is what you want to count the words in, use this command: > g CTRL-G Do not type a space after the g, this is just used here to make the command easy to read. The output looks like this: Col 1 of 0; Line 141 of 157; Word 748 of 774; Byte 4489 of 4976 ~ You can see on which word you are (748), and the total number of words in the file (774). When the text is only part of a file, you could move to the start of the text, type "g CTRL-G", move to the end of the text, type "g CTRL-G" again, and then use your brain to compute the difference in the word position. That's a good exercise, but there is an easier way. With Visual mode, select the text you want to count words in. Then type g CTRL-G. The result: Selected 5 of 293 Lines; 70 of 1884 Words; 359 of 10928 Bytes ~ For other ways to count words, lines and other items, see \|count-items\|. ============================================================================== 12.6 Find a man page find-manpage While editing a shell script or C program, you are using a command or function that you want to find the man page for (this is on Unix). Let's first use a simple way: Move the cursor to the word you want to find help on and press > K Vim will run the external "man" program on the word. If the man page is found, it is displayed. This uses the normal pager to scroll through the text (mostly the "more" program). When you get to the end pressing <Enter> will get you back into Vim. A disadvantage is that you can't see the man page and the text you are working on at the same time. There is a trick to make the man page appear in a Vim window. First, load the man filetype plugin: > :runtime! ftplugin/man.vim Put this command in your vimrc file if you intend to do this often. Now you can use the ":Man" command to open a window on a man page: > :Man csh You can scroll around and the text is highlighted. This allows you to find the help you were looking for. Use CTRL-W w to jump to the window with the text you were working on. To find a man page in a specific section, put the section number first. For example, to look in section 3 for "echo": > :Man 3 echo To jump to another man page, which is in the text with the typical form "word(1)", press CTRL-] on it. Further ":Man" commands will use the same window. To display a man page for the word under the cursor, use this: > \K (If you redefined the <Leader>, use it instead of the backslash). For example, you want to know the return value of "strstr()" while editing this line: if ( strstr (input, "aap") == ) ~ Move the cursor to somewhere on "strstr" and type "\K". A window will open to display the man page for strstr(). ============================================================================== 12.7 Trim blanks Some people find spaces and tabs at the end of a line useless, wasteful, and ugly. To remove whitespace at the end of every line, execute the following command: > :%s/\s\+$// The line range "%" is used, thus this works on the whole file. The pattern that the ":substitute" command matches with is "\s\+$". This finds white space characters (\s), 1 or more of them (\+), before the end-of-line ($). Later will be explained how you write patterns like this, see \|usr_27.txt\|. The "to" part of the substitute command is empty: "//". Thus it replaces with nothing, effectively deleting the matched white space. Another wasteful use of spaces is placing them before a tab. Often these can be deleted without changing the amount of white space. But not always! Therefore, you can best do this manually. Use this search command: > / You cannot see it, but there is a space before a tab in this command. Thus it's "/<Space><Tab>". Now use "x" to delete the space and check that the amount of white space doesn't change. You might have to insert a tab if it does change. Type "n" to find the next match. Repeat this until no more matches can be found. ============================================================================== 12.8 Find where a word is used If you are a UNIX user, you can use a combination of Vim and the grep command to edit all the files that contain a given word. This is extremely useful if you are working on a program and want to view or edit all the files that contain a specific variable. For example, suppose you want to edit all the C program files that contain the word "frame_counter". To do this you use the command: > vim `grep -l frame_counter .c` Let's look at this command in detail. The grep command searches through a set of files for a given word. Because the -l argument is specified, the command will only list the files containing the word and not print the matching lines. The word it is searching for is "frame_counter". Actually, this can be any regular expression. (Note: What grep uses for regular expressions is not exactly the same as what Vim uses.) The entire command is enclosed in backticks (`). This tells the UNIX shell to run this command and pretend that the results were typed on the command line. So what happens is that the grep command is run and produces a list of files, these files are put on the Vim command line. This results in Vim editing the file list that is the output of grep. You can then use commands like ":next" and ":first" to browse through the files. FINDING EACH LINE The above command only finds the files in which the word is found. You still have to find the word within the files. Vim has a built-in command that you can use to search a set of files for a given string. If you want to find all occurrences of "error_string" in all C program files, for example, enter the following command: > :grep error_string .c This causes Vim to search for the string "error_string" in all the specified files (*.c). The editor will now open the first file where a match is found and position the cursor on the first matching line. To go to the next matching line (no matter in what file it is), use the ":cnext" command. To go to the previous match, use the ":cprev" command. Use ":clist" to see all the matches and where they are. The ":grep" command uses the external commands grep (on Unix) or findstr (on Windows). You can change this by setting the option 'grepprg'. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_20.txt\| Typing command-line commands quickly Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	13.11 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_20.txt usr_20.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2006 Apr 24 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Typing command-line commands quickly Vim has a few generic features that makes it easier to enter commands. Colon commands can be abbreviated, edited and repeated. Completion is available for nearly everything. \|20.1\| Command line editing \|20.2\| Command line abbreviations \|20.3\| Command line completion \|20.4\| Command line history \|20.5\| Command line window Next chapter: \|usr_21.txt\| Go away and come back Previous chapter: \|usr_12.txt\| Clever tricks Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 20.1 Command line editing When you use a colon (:) command or search for a string with / or ?, Vim puts the cursor on the bottom of the screen. There you type the command or search pattern. This is called the Command line. Also when it's used for entering a search command. The most obvious way to edit the command you type is by pressing the <BS> key. This erases the character before the cursor. To erase another character, typed earlier, first move the cursor with the cursor keys. For example, you have typed this: > :s/col/pig/ Before you hit <Enter>, you notice that "col" should be "cow". To correct this, you type <Left> five times. The cursor is now just after "col". Type <BS> and "w" to correct: > :s/cow/pig/ Now you can press <Enter> directly. You don't have to move the cursor to the end of the line before executing the command. The most often used keys to move around in the command line: <Left> one character left <Right> one character right <S-Left> or <C-Left> one word left <S-Right> or <C-Right> one word right CTRL-B or <Home> to begin of command line CTRL-E or <End> to end of command line Note: <S-Left> (cursor left key with Shift key pressed) and <C-Left> (cursor left key with Control pressed) will not work on all keyboards. Same for the other Shift and Control combinations. You can also use the mouse to move the cursor. DELETING As mentioned, <BS> deletes the character before the cursor. To delete a whole word use CTRL-W. /the fine pig ~ CTRL-W /the fine ~ CTRL-U removes all text, thus allows you to start all over again. OVERSTRIKE The <Insert> key toggles between inserting characters and replacing the existing ones. Start with this text: /the fine pig ~ Move the cursor to the start of "fine" with <S-Left> twice (or <Left> eight times, if <S-Left> doesn't work). Now press <Insert> to switch to overstrike and type "great": /the greatpig ~ Oops, we lost the space. Now, don't use <BS>, because it would delete the "t" (this is different from Replace mode). Instead, press <Insert> to switch from overstrike to inserting, and type the space: /the great pig ~ CANCELLING You thought of executing a : or / command, but changed your mind. To get rid of what you already typed, without executing it, press CTRL-C or <Esc>. Note: <Esc> is the universal "get out" key. Unfortunately, in the good old Vi pressing <Esc> in a command line executed the command! Since that might be considered to be a bug, Vim uses <Esc> to cancel the command. But with the 'cpoptions' option it can be made Vi compatible. And when using a mapping (which might be written for Vi) <Esc> also works Vi compatible. Therefore, using CTRL-C is a method that always works. If you are at the start of the command line, pressing <BS> will cancel the command. It's like deleting the ":" or "/" that the line starts with. ============================================================================== 20.2 Command line abbreviations Some of the ":" commands are really long. We already mentioned that ":substitute" can be abbreviated to ":s". This is a generic mechanism, all ":" commands can be abbreviated. How short can a command get? There are 26 letters, and many more commands. For example, ":set" also starts with ":s", but ":s" doesn't start a ":set" command. Instead ":set" can be abbreviated to ":se". When the shorter form of a command could be used for two commands, it stands for only one of them. There is no logic behind which one, you have to learn them. In the help files the shortest form that works is mentioned. For example: > :s[ubstitute] This means that the shortest form of ":substitute" is ":s". The following characters are optional. Thus ":su" and ":sub" also work. In the user manual we will either use the full name of command, or a short version that is still readable. For example, ":function" can be abbreviated to ":fu". But since most people don't understand what that stands for, we will use ":fun". (Vim doesn't have a ":funny" command, otherwise ":fun" would be confusing too.) It is recommended that in Vim scripts you write the full command name. That makes it easier to read back when you make later changes. Except for some often used commands like ":w" (":write") and ":r" (":read"). A particularly confusing one is ":end", which could stand for ":endif", ":endwhile" or ":endfunction". Therefore, always use the full name. SHORT OPTION NAMES In the user manual the long version of the option names is used. Many options also have a short name. Unlike ":" commands, there is only one short name that works. For example, the short name of 'autoindent' is 'ai'. Thus these two commands do the same thing: > :set autoindent :set ai You can find the full list of long and short names here: \|option-list\|. ============================================================================== 20.3 Command line completion This is one of those Vim features that, by itself, is a reason to switch from Vi to Vim. Once you have used this, you can't do without. Suppose you have a directory that contains these files: info.txt intro.txt bodyofthepaper.txt To edit the last one, you use the command: > :edit bodyofthepaper.txt It's easy to type this wrong. A much quicker way is: > :edit b<Tab> Which will result in the same command. What happened? The <Tab> key does completion of the word before the cursor. In this case "b". Vim looks in the directory and finds only one file that starts with a "b". That must be the one you are looking for, thus Vim completes the file name for you. Now type: > :edit i<Tab> Vim will beep, and give you: > :edit info.txt The beep means that Vim has found more than one match. It then uses the first match it found (alphabetically). If you press <Tab> again, you get: > :edit intro.txt Thus, if the first <Tab> doesn't give you the file you were looking for, press it again. If there are more matches, you will see them all, one at a time. If you press <Tab> on the last matching entry, you will go back to what you first typed: > :edit i Then it starts all over again. Thus Vim cycles through the list of matches. Use CTRL-P to go through the list in the other direction: <------------------- <Tab> -------------------------+ \| <Tab> --> <Tab> --> :edit i :edit info.txt :edit intro.txt <-- CTRL-P <-- CTRL-P \| +---------------------- CTRL-P ------------------------> CONTEXT When you type ":set i" instead of ":edit i" and press <Tab> you get: > :set icon Hey, why didn't you get ":set info.txt"? That's because Vim has context sensitive completion. The kind of words Vim will look for depends on the command before it. Vim knows that you cannot use a file name just after a ":set" command, but you can use an option name. Again, if you repeat typing the <Tab>, Vim will cycle through all matches. There are quite a few, it's better to type more characters first: > :set isk<Tab> Gives: > :set iskeyword Now type "=" and press <Tab>: > :set iskeyword=@,48-57,_,192-255 What happens here is that Vim inserts the old value of the option. Now you can edit it. What is completed with <Tab> is what Vim expects in that place. Just try it out to see how it works. In some situations you will not get what you want. That's either because Vim doesn't know what you want, or because completion was not implemented for that situation. In that case you will get a <Tab> inserted (displayed as ^I). LIST MATCHES When there are many matches, you would like to see an overview. Do this by pressing CTRL-D. For example, pressing CTRL-D after: > :set is results in: > :set is incsearch isfname isident iskeyword isprint :set is Vim lists the matches and then comes back with the text you typed. You can now check the list for the item you wanted. If it isn't there, you can use <BS> to correct the word. If there are many matches, type a few more characters before pressing <Tab> to complete the rest. If you have watched carefully, you will have noticed that "incsearch" doesn't start with "is". In this case "is" stands for the short name of "incsearch". (Many options have a short and a long name.) Vim is clever enough to know that you might have wanted to expand the short name of the option into the long name. THERE IS MORE The CTRL-L command completes the word to the longest unambiguous string. If you type ":edit i" and there are files "info.txt" and "info_backup.txt" you will get ":edit info". The 'wildmode' option can be used to change the way completion works. The 'wildmenu' option can be used to get a menu-like list of matches. Use the 'suffixes' option to specify files that are less important and appear at the end of the list of files. The 'wildignore' option specifies files that are not listed at all. More about all of this here: \|cmdline-completion\| ============================================================================== 20.4 Command line history In chapter 3 we briefly mentioned the history. The basics are that you can use the <Up> key to recall an older command line. <Down> then takes you back to newer commands. There are actually four histories. The ones we will mention here are for ":" commands and for "/" and "?" search commands. The "/" and "?" commands share the same history, because they are both search commands. The two other histories are for expressions and input lines for the input() function. \|cmdline-history\| Suppose you have done a ":set" command, typed ten more colon commands and then want to repeat that ":set" command again. You could press ":" and then ten times <Up>. There is a quicker way: > :se<Up> Vim will now go back to the previous command that started with "se". You have a good chance that this is the ":set" command you were looking for. At least you should not have to press <Up> very often (unless ":set" commands is all you have done). The <Up> key will use the text typed so far and compare it with the lines in the history. Only matching lines will be used. If you do not find the line you were looking for, use <Down> to go back to what you typed and correct that. Or use CTRL-U to start all over again. To see all the lines in the history: > :history That's the history of ":" commands. The search history is displayed with this command: > :history / CTRL-P will work like <Up>, except that it doesn't matter what you already typed. Similarly for CTRL-N and <Down>. CTRL-P stands for previous, CTRL-N for next. ============================================================================== 20.5 Command line window Typing the text in the command line works differently from typing text in Insert mode. It doesn't allow many commands to change the text. For most commands that's OK, but sometimes you have to type a complicated command. That's where the command line window is useful. Open the command line window with this command: > q: Vim now opens a (small) window at the bottom. It contains the command line history, and an empty line at the end: +-------------------------------------+ \|other window \| \|~ \| \|file.txt=============================\| \|:e c \| \|:e config.h.in \| \|:set path=.,/usr/include,, \| \|:set iskeyword=@,48-57,_,192-255 \| \|:set is \| \|:q \| \|: \| \|command-line=========================\| \| \| +-------------------------------------+ You are now in Normal mode. You can use the "hjkl" keys to move around. For example, move up with "5k" to the ":e config.h.in" line. Type "$h" to go to the "i" of "in" and type "cwout". Now you have changed the line to: :e config.h.out ~ Now press <Enter> and this command will be executed. The command line window will close. The <Enter> command will execute the line under the cursor. It doesn't matter whether Vim is in Insert mode or in Normal mode. Changes in the command line window are lost. They do not result in the history to be changed. Except that the command you execute will be added to the end of the history, like with all executed commands. The command line window is very useful when you want to have overview of the history, lookup a similar command, change it a bit and execute it. A search command can be used to find something. In the previous example the "?config" search command could have been used to find the previous command that contains "config". It's a bit strange, because you are using a command line to search in the command line window. While typing that search command you can't open another command line window, there can be only one. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_21.txt\| Go away and come back Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	13.39 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_21.txt usr_21.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Apr 25 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Go away and come back This chapter goes into mixing the use of other programs with Vim. Either by executing program from inside Vim or by leaving Vim and coming back later. Furthermore, this is about the ways to remember the state of Vim and restore it later. \|21.1\| Suspend and resume \|21.2\| Executing shell commands \|21.3\| Remembering information; viminfo \|21.4\| Sessions \|21.5\| Views \|21.6\| Modelines Next chapter: \|usr_22.txt\| Finding the file to edit Previous chapter: \|usr_20.txt\| Typing command-line commands quickly Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 21.1 Suspend and resume Like most Unix programs Vim can be suspended by pressing CTRL-Z. This stops Vim and takes you back to the shell it was started in. You can then do any other commands until you are bored with them. Then bring back Vim with the "fg" command. > CTRL-Z {any sequence of shell commands} fg You are right back where you left Vim, nothing has changed. In case pressing CTRL-Z doesn't work, you can also use ":suspend". Don't forget to bring Vim back to the foreground, you would lose any changes that you made! Only Unix has support for this. On other systems Vim will start a shell for you. This also has the functionality of being able to execute shell commands. But it's a new shell, not the one that you started Vim from. When you are running the GUI you can't go back to the shell where Vim was started. CTRL-Z will minimize the Vim window instead. ============================================================================== 21.2 Executing shell commands To execute a single shell command from Vim use ":!{command}". For example, to see a directory listing: > :!ls :!dir The first one is for Unix, the second one for MS-Windows. Vim will execute the program. When it ends you will get a prompt to hit <Enter>. This allows you to have a look at the output from the command before returning to the text you were editing. The "!" is also used in other places where a program is run. Let's take a look at an overview: :!{program} execute {program} :r !{program} execute {program} and read its output :w !{program} execute {program} and send text to its input :[range]!{program} filter text through {program} Notice that the presence of a range before "!{program}" makes a big difference. Without it executes the program normally, with the range a number of text lines is filtered through the program. Executing a whole row of programs this way is possible. But a shell is much better at it. You can start a new shell this way: > :shell This is similar to using CTRL-Z to suspend Vim. The difference is that a new shell is started. When using the GUI the shell will be using the Vim window for its input and output. Since Vim is not a terminal emulator, this will not work perfectly. If you have trouble, try toggling the 'guipty' option. If this still doesn't work well enough, start a new terminal to run the shell in. For example with: > :!xterm& ============================================================================== 21.3 Remembering information; viminfo After editing for a while you will have text in registers, marks in various files, a command line history filled with carefully crafted commands. When you exit Vim all of this is lost. But you can get it back! The viminfo file is designed to store status information: Command-line and Search pattern history Text in registers Marks for various files The buffer list Global variables Each time you exit Vim it will store this information in a file, the viminfo file. When Vim starts again, the viminfo file is read and the information restored. The 'viminfo' option is set by default to restore a limited number of items. You might want to set it to remember more information. This is done through the following command: > :set viminfo=string The string specifies what to save. The syntax of this string is an option character followed by an argument. The option/argument pairs are separated by commas. Take a look at how you can build up your own viminfo string. First, the ' option is used to specify how many files for which you save marks (a-z). Pick a nice even number for this option (1000, for instance). Your command now looks like this: > :set viminfo='1000 The f option controls whether global marks (A-Z and 0-9) are stored. If this option is 0, none are stored. If it is 1 or you do not specify an f option, the marks are stored. You want this feature, so now you have this: > :set viminfo='1000,f1 The < option controls how many lines are saved for each of the registers. By default, all the lines are saved. If 0, nothing is saved. To avoid adding thousands of lines to your viminfo file (which might never get used and makes starting Vim slower) you use a maximum of 500 lines: > :set viminfo='1000,f1,<500 < Other options you might want to use: : number of lines to save from the command line history @ number of lines to save from the input line history / number of lines to save from the search history r removable media, for which no marks will be stored (can be used several times) ! global variables that start with an uppercase letter and don't contain lowercase letters h disable 'hlsearch' highlighting when starting % the buffer list (only restored when starting Vim without file arguments) c convert the text using 'encoding' n name used for the viminfo file (must be the last option) See the 'viminfo' option and \|viminfo-file\| for more information. When you run Vim multiple times, the last one exiting will store its information. This may cause information that previously exiting Vims stored to be lost. Each item can be remembered only once. GETTING BACK TO WHERE YOU STOPPED VIM You are halfway editing a file and it's time to leave for holidays. You exit Vim and go enjoy yourselves, forgetting all about your work. After a couple of weeks you start Vim, and type: > '0 And you are right back where you left Vim. So you can get on with your work. Vim creates a mark each time you exit Vim. The last one is '0. The position that '0 pointed to is made '1. And '1 is made to '2, and so forth. Mark '9 is lost. The \|:marks\| command is useful to find out where '0 to '9 will take you. GETTING BACK TO SOME FILE If you want to go back to a file that you edited recently, but not when exiting Vim, there is a slightly more complicated way. You can see a list of files by typing the command: > :oldfiles < 1: ~/.viminfo ~ 2: ~/text/resume.txt ~ 3: /tmp/draft ~ Now you would like to edit the second file, which is in the list preceded by "2:". You type: > :e #<2 Instead of ":e" you can use any command that has a file name argument, the "#<2" item works in the same place as "%" (current file name) and "#" (alternate file name). So you can also split the window to edit the third file: > :split #<3 That #<123 thing is a bit complicated when you just want to edit a file. Fortunately there is a simpler way: > :browse oldfiles < 1: ~/.viminfo ~ 2: ~/text/resume.txt ~ 3: /tmp/draft ~ -- More -- You get the same list of files as with \|:oldfiles\|. If you want to edit "resume.txt" first press "q" to stop the listing. You will get a prompt: Type number and <Enter> (empty cancels): ~ Type "2" and press <Enter> to edit the second file. More info at \|:oldfiles\|, \|v:oldfiles\| and \|c_#<\|. MOVE INFO FROM ONE VIM TO ANOTHER You can use the ":wviminfo" and ":rviminfo" commands to save and restore the information while still running Vim. This is useful for exchanging register contents between two instances of Vim, for example. In the first Vim do: > :wviminfo! ~/tmp/viminfo And in the second Vim do: > :rviminfo! ~/tmp/viminfo Obviously, the "w" stands for "write" and the "r" for "read". The ! character is used by ":wviminfo" to forcefully overwrite an existing file. When it is omitted, and the file exists, the information is merged into the file. The ! character used for ":rviminfo" means that all the information is used, this may overwrite existing information. Without the ! only information that wasn't set is used. These commands can also be used to store info and use it again later. You could make a directory full of viminfo files, each containing info for a different purpose. ============================================================================== 21.4 Sessions Suppose you are editing along, and it is the end of the day. You want to quit work and pick up where you left off the next day. You can do this by saving your editing session and restoring it the next day. A Vim session contains all the information about what you are editing. This includes things such as the file list, window layout, global variables, options and other information. (Exactly what is remembered is controlled by the 'sessionoptions' option, described below.) The following command creates a session file: > :mksession vimbook.vim Later if you want to restore this session, you can use this command: > :source vimbook.vim If you want to start Vim and restore a specific session, you can use the following command: > vim -S vimbook.vim This tells Vim to read a specific file on startup. The 'S' stands for session (actually, you can source any Vim script with -S, thus it might as well stand for "source"). The windows that were open are restored, with the same position and size as before. Mappings and option values are like before. What exactly is restored depends on the 'sessionoptions' option. The default value is: "blank,buffers,curdir,folds,help,options,tabpages,winsize,terminal". blank keep empty windows buffers all buffers, not only the ones in a window curdir the current directory folds folds, also manually created ones help the help window options all options and mappings tabpages all tab pages winsize window sizes terminal include terminal windows Change this to your liking. To also restore the size of the Vim window, for example, use: > :set sessionoptions+=resize SESSION HERE, SESSION THERE The obvious way to use sessions is when working on different projects. Suppose you store your session files in the directory "~/.vim". You are currently working on the "secret" project and have to switch to the "boring" project: > :wall :mksession! ~/.vim/secret.vim :source ~/.vim/boring.vim This first uses ":wall" to write all modified files. Then the current session is saved, using ":mksession!". This overwrites the previous session. The next time you load the secret session you can continue where you were at this point. And finally you load the new "boring" session. If you open help windows, split and close various windows, and generally mess up the window layout, you can go back to the last saved session: > :source ~/.vim/boring.vim Thus you have complete control over whether you want to continue next time where you are now, by saving the current setup in a session, or keep the session file as a starting point. Another way of using sessions is to create a window layout that you like to use, and save this in a session. Then you can go back to this layout whenever you want. For example, this is a nice layout to use: +----------------------------------------+ \| VIM - main help file \| \| \| \|Move around: Use the cursor keys, or "h\| \|help.txt================================\| \|explorer \| \| \|dir \|~ \| \|dir \|~ \| \|file \|~ \| \|file \|~ \| \|file \|~ \| \|file \|~ \| \|~/=========\|[No File]===================\| \| \| +----------------------------------------+ This has a help window at the top, so that you can read this text. The narrow vertical window on the left contains a file explorer. This is a Vim plugin that lists the contents of a directory. You can select files to edit there. More about this in the next chapter. Create this from a just started Vim with: > :help CTRL-W w :vertical split ~/ You can resize the windows a bit to your liking. Then save the session with: > :mksession ~/.vim/mine.vim Now you can start Vim with this layout: > vim -S ~/.vim/mine.vim Hint: To open a file you see listed in the explorer window in the empty window, move the cursor to the filename and press "O". Double clicking with the mouse will also do this. UNIX AND MS-WINDOWS Some people have to do work on MS-Windows systems one day and on Unix another day. If you are one of them, consider adding "slash" and "unix" to 'sessionoptions'. The session files will then be written in a format that can be used on both systems. This is the command to put in your vimrc file: > :set sessionoptions+=unix,slash Vim will use the Unix format then, because the MS-Windows Vim can read and write Unix files, but Unix Vim can't read MS-Windows format session files. Similarly, MS-Windows Vim understands file names with / to separate names, but Unix Vim doesn't understand \. SESSIONS AND VIMINFO Sessions store many things, but not the position of marks, contents of registers and the command line history. You need to use the viminfo feature for these things. In most situations you will want to use sessions separately from viminfo. This can be used to switch to another session, but keep the command line history. And yank text into registers in one session, and paste it back in another session. You might prefer to keep the info with the session. You will have to do this yourself then. Example: > :mksession! ~/.vim/secret.vim :wviminfo! ~/.vim/secret.viminfo And to restore this again: > :source ~/.vim/secret.vim :rviminfo! ~/.vim/secret.viminfo ============================================================================== 21.5 Views A session stores the looks of the whole of Vim. When you want to store the properties for one window only, use a view. The use of a view is for when you want to edit a file in a specific way. For example, you have line numbers enabled with the 'number' option and defined a few folds. Just like with sessions, you can remember this view on the file and restore it later. Actually, when you store a session, it stores the view of each window. There are two basic ways to use views. The first is to let Vim pick a name for the view file. You can restore the view when you later edit the same file. To store the view for the current window: > :mkview Vim will decide where to store the view. When you later edit the same file you get the view back with this command: > :loadview That's easy, isn't it? Now you want to view the file without the 'number' option on, or with all folds open, you can set the options to make the window look that way. Then store this view with: > :mkview 1 Obviously, you can get this back with: > :loadview 1 Now you can switch between the two views on the file by using ":loadview" with and without the "1" argument. You can store up to ten views for the same file this way, one unnumbered and nine numbered 1 to 9. A VIEW WITH A NAME The second basic way to use views is by storing the view in a file with a name you choose. This view can be loaded while editing another file. Vim will then switch to editing the file specified in the view. Thus you can use this to quickly switch to editing another file, with all its options set as you saved them. For example, to save the view of the current file: > :mkview ~/.vim/main.vim You can restore it with: > :source ~/.vim/main.vim ============================================================================== 21.6 Modelines When editing a specific file, you might set options specifically for that file. Typing these commands each time is boring. Using a session or view for editing a file doesn't work when sharing the file between several people. The solution for this situation is adding a modeline to the file. This is a line of text that tells Vim the values of options, to be used in this file only. A typical example is a C program where you make indents by a multiple of 4 spaces. This requires setting the 'shiftwidth' option to 4. This modeline will do that: /* vim:set shiftwidth=4: / ~ Put this line as one of the first or last five lines in the file. When editing the file, you will notice that 'shiftwidth' will have been set to four. When editing another file, it's set back to the default value of eight. For some files the modeline fits well in the header, thus it can be put at the top of the file. For text files and other files where the modeline gets in the way of the normal contents, put it at the end of the file. The 'modelines' option specifies how many lines at the start and end of the file are inspected for containing a modeline. To inspect ten lines: > :set modelines=10 The 'modeline' option can be used to switch this off. Do this when you are working as root on Unix or Administrator on MS-Windows, or when you don't trust the files you are editing: > :set nomodeline Use this format for the modeline: any-text vim:set {option}={value} ... : any-text ~ The "any-text" indicates that you can put any text before and after the part that Vim will use. This allows making it look like a comment, like what was done above with / and */. The " vim:" part is what makes Vim recognize this line. There must be white space before "vim", or "vim" must be at the start of the line. Thus using something like "gvim:" will not work. The part between the colons is a ":set" command. It works the same way as typing the ":set" command, except that you need to insert a backslash before a colon (otherwise it would be seen as the end of the modeline). Another example: // vim:set textwidth=72 dir=c\:\tmp: use c:\tmp here ~ There is an extra backslash before the first colon, so that it's included in the ":set" command. The text after the second colon is ignored, thus a remark can be placed there.

📄 usr_22.txt usr_22.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Mar 28 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Finding the file to edit Files can be found everywhere. So how do you find them? Vim offers various ways to browse the directory tree. There are commands to jump to a file that is mentioned in another. And Vim remembers which files have been edited before. \|22.1\| The file browser \|22.2\| The current directory \|22.3\| Finding a file \|22.4\| The buffer list Next chapter: \|usr_23.txt\| Editing other files Previous chapter: \|usr_21.txt\| Go away and come back Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 22.1 The file browser Vim has a plugin that makes it possible to edit a directory. Try this: > :edit . Through the magic of autocommands and Vim scripts, the window will be filled with the contents of the directory. It looks like this: " ============================================================================ ~ " Netrw Directory Listing (netrw v109) ~ " Sorted by name ~ " Sort sequence: [\/]$,\.h$,\.c$,\.cpp$,,\.info$,\.swp$,\.o$\.obj$,\.bak$ ~ " Quick Help: <F1>:help -:go up dir D:delete R:rename s:sort-by x:exec ~ " ============================================================================ ~ ../ ~ ./ ~ check/ ~ Makefile ~ autocmd.txt ~ change.txt ~ eval.txt~ ~ filetype.txt~ ~ help.txt.info ~ You can see these items: 1. The name of the browsing tool and its version number 2. The name of the browsing directory 3. The method of sorting (may be by name, time, or size) 4. How names are to be sorted (directories first, then .h files, .c files, etc) 5. How to get help (use the <F1> key), and an abbreviated listing of available commands 6. A listing of files, including "../", which allows one to list the parent directory. If you have syntax highlighting enabled, the different parts are highlighted so as to make it easier to spot them. You can use Normal mode Vim commands to move around in the text. For example, move the cursor atop a file and press <Enter>; you will then be editing that file. To go back to the browser use ":edit ." again, or use ":Explore". CTRL-O also works. Try using <Enter> while the cursor is atop a directory name. The result is that the file browser moves into that directory and displays the items found there. Pressing <Enter> on the first directory "../" moves you one level higher. Pressing "-" does the same thing, without the need to move to the "../" item first. You can press <F1> to get help on the things you can do in the netrw file browser. This is what you get: > 9.

It's a regular help page; use the usual \|CTRL-]\| to jump to tagged help items and \|CTRL-O\| to jump back. To select files for display and editing: (with the cursor is atop a filename) <enter> Open the file in the current window. \|netrw-cr\| o Horizontally split window and display file \|netrw-o\| v Vertically split window and display file \|netrw-v\| p Use the \|preview-window\| \|netrw-p\| P Edit in the previous window \|netrw-P\| t Open file in a new tab \|netrw-t\| The following normal-mode commands may be used to control the browser display: i Controls listing style (thin, long, wide, and tree). The long listing includes size and date information. s Repeatedly pressing s will change the way the files are sorted; one may sort on name, modification time, or size. r Reverse the sorting order. As a sampling of extra normal-mode commands: cd Change Vim's notion of the current directory to be the same as the browser directory. (see \|g:netrw_keepdir\| to control this, too) R Rename the file or directory under the cursor; a prompt will be issued for the new name. D Delete the file or directory under the cursor; a confirmation request will be issued. mb gb Make bookmark/goto bookmark One may also use command mode; again, just a sampling: :Explore [directory] Browse specified/current directory :NetrwSettings A comprehensive list of your current netrw settings with help linkage. The netrw browser is not limited to just your local machine; one may use urls such as: (that trailing / is important) :Explore ftp://somehost/path/to/dir/ :e scp://somehost/path/to/dir/ See \|netrw-browse\| for more. ============================================================================== 22.2* The current directory Just like the shell, Vim has the concept of a current directory. Suppose you are in your home directory and want to edit several files in a directory "VeryLongFileName". You could do: > :edit VeryLongFileName/file1.txt :edit VeryLongFileName/file2.txt :edit VeryLongFileName/file3.txt To avoid much of the typing, do this: > :cd VeryLongFileName :edit file1.txt :edit file2.txt :edit file3.txt The ":cd" command changes the current directory. You can see what the current directory is with the ":pwd" command: > :pwd /home/Bram/VeryLongFileName Vim remembers the last directory that you used. Use "cd -" to go back to it. Example: > :pwd /home/Bram/VeryLongFileName :cd /etc :pwd /etc :cd - :pwd /home/Bram/VeryLongFileName :cd - :pwd /etc WINDOW LOCAL DIRECTORY When you split a window, both windows use the same current directory. When you want to edit a number of files somewhere else in the new window, you can make it use a different directory, without changing the current directory in the other window. This is called a local directory. > :pwd /home/Bram/VeryLongFileName :split :lcd /etc :pwd /etc CTRL-W w :pwd /home/Bram/VeryLongFileName So long as no `:lcd` command has been used, all windows share the same current directory. Doing a `:cd` command in one window will also change the current directory of the other window. For a window where `:lcd` has been used a different current directory is remembered. Using `:cd` or `:lcd` in other windows will not change it. When using a `:cd` command in a window that uses a different current directory, it will go back to using the shared directory. TAB LOCAL DIRECTORY When you open a new tab page, it uses the directory of the window in the previous tab page from which the new tab page was opened. You can change the directory of the current tab page using the `:tcd` command. All the windows in a tab page share this directory except for windows with a window-local directory. Any new windows opened in this tab page will use this directory as the current working directory. Using a `:cd` command in a tab page will not change the working directory of tab pages which have a tab local directory. When the global working directory is changed using the `:cd` command in a tab page, it will also change the current tab page working directory. ============================================================================== 22.3 Finding a file You are editing a C program that contains this line: #include "inits.h" ~ You want to see what is in that "inits.h" file. Move the cursor on the name of the file and type: > gf Vim will find the file and edit it. What if the file is not in the current directory? Vim will use the 'path' option to find the file. This option is a list of directory names where to look for your file. Suppose you have your include files located in "c:/prog/include". This command will add it to the 'path' option: > :set path+=c:/prog/include This directory is an absolute path. No matter where you are, it will be the same place. What if you have located files in a subdirectory, below where the file is? Then you can specify a relative path name. This starts with a dot: > :set path+=./proto This tells Vim to look in the directory "proto", below the directory where the file in which you use "gf" is. Thus using "gf" on "inits.h" will make Vim look for "proto/inits.h", starting in the directory of the file. Without the "./", thus "proto", Vim would look in the "proto" directory below the current directory. And the current directory might not be where the file that you are editing is located. The 'path' option allows specifying the directories where to search for files in many more ways. See the help on the 'path' option. The 'isfname' option is used to decide which characters are included in the file name, and which ones are not (e.g., the " character in the example above). When you know the file name, but it's not to be found in the file, you can type it: > :find inits.h Vim will then use the 'path' option to try and locate the file. This is the same as the ":edit" command, except for the use of 'path'. To open the found file in a new window use CTRL-W f instead of "gf", or use ":sfind" instead of ":find". A nice way to directly start Vim to edit a file somewhere in the 'path': > vim "+find stdio.h" This finds the file "stdio.h" in your value of 'path'. The quotes are necessary to have one argument \|-+c\|. ============================================================================== 22.4 The buffer list The Vim editor uses the term buffer to describe a file being edited. Actually, a buffer is a copy of the file that you edit. When you finish changing the buffer, you write the contents of the buffer to the file. Buffers not only contain file contents, but also all the marks, settings, and other stuff that goes with it. HIDDEN BUFFERS Suppose you are editing the file one.txt and need to edit the file two.txt. You could simply use ":edit two.txt", but since you made changes to one.txt that won't work. You also don't want to write one.txt yet. Vim has a solution for you: > :hide edit two.txt The buffer "one.txt" disappears from the screen, but Vim still knows that you are editing this buffer, so it keeps the modified text. This is called a hidden buffer: The buffer contains text, but you can't see it. The argument of ":hide" is another command. ":hide" makes that command behave as if the 'hidden' option was set. You could also set this option yourself. The effect is that when any buffer is abandoned, it becomes hidden. Be careful! When you have hidden buffers with changes, don't exit Vim without making sure you have saved all the buffers. INACTIVE BUFFERS When a buffer has been used once, Vim remembers some information about it. When it is not displayed in a window and it is not hidden, it is still in the buffer list. This is called an inactive buffer. Overview: Active Appears in a window, text loaded. Hidden Not in a window, text loaded. Inactive Not in a window, no text loaded. The inactive buffers are remembered, because Vim keeps information about them, like marks. And remembering the file name is useful too, so that you can see which files you have edited. And edit them again. LISTING BUFFERS View the buffer list with this command: > :buffers A command which does the same, is not so obvious to list buffers, but is much shorter to type: > :ls The output could look like this: 1 #h "help.txt" line 62 ~ 2 %a + "usr_21.txt" line 1 ~ 3 "usr_toc.txt" line 1 ~ The first column contains the buffer number. You can use this to edit the buffer without having to type the name, see below. After the buffer number come the flags. Then the name of the file and the line number where the cursor was the last time. The flags that can appear are these (from left to right): u Buffer is unlisted \|unlisted-buffer\|. % Current buffer. # Alternate buffer. a Buffer is loaded and displayed. h Buffer is loaded but hidden. = Buffer is read-only. - Buffer is not modifiable, the 'modifiable' option is off. + Buffer has been modified. EDITING A BUFFER You can edit a buffer by its number. That avoids having to type the file name: > :buffer 2 But the only way to know the number is by looking in the buffer list. You can use the name, or part of it, instead: > :buffer help Vim will find the best match for the name you type. If there is only one buffer that matches the name, it will be used. In this case "help.txt". To open a buffer in a new window: > :sbuffer 3 This works with a name as well. USING THE BUFFER LIST You can move around in the buffer list with these commands: :bnext go to next buffer :bprevious go to previous buffer :bfirst go to the first buffer :blast go to the last buffer To remove a buffer from the list, use this command: > :bdelete 3 Again, this also works with a name. If you delete a buffer that was active (visible in a window), that window will be closed. If you delete the current buffer, the current window will be closed. If it was the last window, Vim will find another buffer to edit. You can't be editing nothing! Note: Even after removing the buffer with ":bdelete" Vim still remembers it. It's actually made "unlisted", it no longer appears in the list from ":buffers". The ":buffers!" command will list unlisted buffers (yes, Vim can do the impossible). To really make Vim forget about a buffer, use ":bwipe". Also see the 'buflisted' option. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_23.txt\| Editing other files Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	14.65 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_23.txt usr_23.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Dec 19 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Editing other files This chapter is about editing files that are not ordinary files. With Vim you can edit files that are compressed or encrypted. Some files need to be accessed over the internet. With some restrictions, binary files can be edited as well. \|23.1\| DOS, Mac and Unix files \|23.2\| Files on the internet \|23.3\| Encryption \|23.4\| Binary files \|23.5\| Compressed files Next chapter: \|usr_24.txt\| Inserting quickly Previous chapter: \|usr_22.txt\| Finding the file to edit Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 23.1 DOS, Mac and Unix files Back in the early days, the old Teletype machines used two characters to start a new line. One to move the carriage back to the first position (carriage return, <CR>), another to move the paper up (line feed, <LF>). When computers came out, storage was expensive. Some people decided that they did not need two characters for end-of-line. The UNIX people decided they could use <New Line> or <NL> only for end-of-line. The Apple people standardized on <CR>. The Microsoft Windows folks decided to keep the old <CR><NL> (we use <NL> for line feed in the help text). This means that if you try to move a file from one system to another, you have line-break problems. The Vim editor automatically recognizes the different file formats and handles things properly behind your back. The option 'fileformats' contains the various formats that will be tried when a new file is edited. The following command, for example, tells Vim to try UNIX format first and MS-DOS format second: > :set fileformats=unix,dos You will notice the format in the message you get when editing a file. You don't see anything if you edit a native file format. Thus editing a Unix file on Unix won't result in a remark. But when you edit a dos file, Vim will notify you of this: "/tmp/test" [dos] 3L, 71C ~ For a Mac file you would see "[mac]". The detected file format is stored in the 'fileformat' option. To see which format you have, execute the following command: > :set fileformat? The three names that Vim uses are: unix <NL> dos <CR><NL> mac <CR> USING THE MAC FORMAT On Unix, <NL> is used to break a line. It's not unusual to have a <CR> character halfway a line. Incidentally, this happens quite often in Vi (and Vim) scripts. On the Macintosh, where <CR> is the line break character, it's possible to have a <NL> character halfway a line. The result is that it's not possible to be 100% sure whether a file containing both <CR> and <NL> characters is a Mac or a Unix file. Therefore, Vim assumes that on Unix you probably won't edit a Mac file, and doesn't check for this type of file. To check for this format anyway, add "mac" to 'fileformats': > :set fileformats+=mac Then Vim will take a guess at the file format. Watch out for situations where Vim guesses wrong. OVERRULING THE FORMAT If you use the good old Vi and try to edit an MS-DOS format file, you will find that each line ends with a ^M character. (^M is <CR>). The automatic detection avoids this. Suppose you do want to edit the file that way? Then you need to overrule the format: > :edit ++ff=unix file.txt The "++" string is an item that tells Vim that an option name follows, which overrules the default for this single command. "++ff" is used for 'fileformat'. You could also use "++ff=mac" or "++ff=dos". This doesn't work for any option, only "++ff" and "++enc" are currently implemented. The full names "++fileformat" and "++encoding" also work. CONVERSION You can use the 'fileformat' option to convert from one file format to another. Suppose, for example, that you have an MS-DOS file named README.TXT that you want to convert to UNIX format. Start by editing the MS-DOS format file: > vim README.TXT Vim will recognize this as a dos format file. Now change the file format to UNIX: > :set fileformat=unix :write The file is written in Unix format. ============================================================================== 23.2 Files on the internet Someone sends you an e-mail message, which refers to a file by its URL. For example: You can find the information here: ~ ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/README ~ You could start a program to download the file, save it on your local disk and then start Vim to edit it. There is a much simpler way. Move the cursor to any character of the URL. Then use this command: > gf With a bit of luck, Vim will figure out which program to use for downloading the file, download it and edit the copy. To open the file in a new window use CTRL-W f. If something goes wrong you will get an error message. It's possible that the URL is wrong, you don't have permission to read it, the network connection is down, etc. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell the cause of the error. You might want to try the manual way of downloading the file. Accessing files over the internet works with the netrw plugin. Currently URLs with these formats are recognized: ftp:// uses ftp rcp:// uses rcp scp:// uses scp http:// uses wget (reading only) Vim doesn't do the communication itself, it relies on the mentioned programs to be available on your computer. On most Unix systems "ftp" and "rcp" will be present. "scp" and "wget" might need to be installed. Vim detects these URLs for each command that starts editing a new file, also with ":edit" and ":split", for example. Write commands also work, except for http://. For more information, also about passwords, see \|netrw\|. ============================================================================== 23.3 Encryption Some information you prefer to keep to yourself. For example, when writing a test on a computer that students also use. You don't want clever students to figure out a way to read the questions before the exam starts. Vim can encrypt the file for you, which gives you some protection. To start editing a new file with encryption, use the "-x" argument to start Vim. Example: > vim -x exam.txt Vim prompts you for a key used for encrypting and decrypting the file: Enter encryption key: ~ Carefully type the secret key now. You cannot see the characters you type, they will be replaced by stars. To avoid the situation that a typing mistake will cause trouble, Vim asks you to enter the key again: Enter same key again: ~ You can now edit this file normally and put in all your secrets. When you finish editing the file and tell Vim to exit, the file is encrypted and written. When you edit the file with Vim, it will ask you to enter the same key again. You don't need to use the "-x" argument. You can also use the normal ":edit" command. Vim adds a magic string to the file by which it recognizes that the file was encrypted. If you try to view this file using another program, all you get is garbage. Also, if you edit the file with Vim and enter the wrong key, you get garbage. Vim does not have a mechanism to check if the key is the right one (this makes it much harder to break the key). SWITCHING ENCRYPTION ON AND OFF To disable the encryption of a file, set the 'key' option to an empty string: > :set key= The next time you write the file this will be done without encryption. Setting the 'key' option to enable encryption is not a good idea, because the password appears in the clear. Anyone shoulder-surfing can read your password. To avoid this problem, the ":X" command was created. It asks you for an encryption key, just like the "-x" argument did: > :X Enter encryption key: **** Enter same key again: **** LIMITS ON ENCRYPTION The encryption algorithm used by Vim is not very strong. It is good enough to keep out the casual prowler, but not good enough to keep out a cryptology expert with lots of time on his hands. The text in the swap file and the undo file is also encrypted. However, this is done block-by-block and may reduce the time needed to crack a password. You can disable the swap file, but then a crash will cause you to lose your work, since Vim keeps all the text in memory only. The undo file can be disabled with the only disadvantage that you can't undo after unloading the buffer. To avoid using a swap file, supply the -n argument on the command line. For example, to edit the encrypted file "file.txt" without a swap file use the following command: > vim -x -n file.txt When already editing a file, the swapfile can be disabled with: > :setlocal noswapfile Since there is no swapfile, recovery will be impossible. Save the file a bit more often to avoid the risk of losing your changes. While the file is in memory, it is in plain text. Anyone with privilege can look in the editor's memory and discover the contents of the file. If you use a viminfo file, be aware that the contents of text registers are written out in the clear as well. If you really want to secure the contents of a file, edit it only on a portable computer not connected to a network, use good encryption tools, and keep the computer locked up in a big safe when not in use. ============================================================================== 23.4 Binary files You can edit binary files with Vim. Vim wasn't really made for this, thus there are a few restrictions. But you can read a file, change a character and write it back, with the result that only that one character was changed and the file is identical otherwise. To make sure that Vim does not use its clever tricks in the wrong way, add the "-b" argument when starting Vim: > vim -b datafile This sets the 'binary' option. The effect of this is that unexpected side effects are turned off. For example, 'textwidth' is set to zero, to avoid automatic formatting of lines. And files are always read in Unix file format. Binary mode can be used to change a message in a program. Be careful not to insert or delete any characters, it would stop the program from working. Use "R" to enter replace mode. Many characters in the file will be unprintable. To see them in Hex format: > :set display=uhex Otherwise, the "ga" command can be used to see the value of the character under the cursor. The output, when the cursor is on an <Esc>, looks like this: <^[> 27, Hex 1b, Octal 033 ~ There might not be many line breaks in the file. To get some overview switch the 'wrap' option off: > :set nowrap BYTE POSITION To see on which byte you are in the file use this command: > g CTRL-G The output is verbose: Col 9-16 of 9-16; Line 277 of 330; Word 1806 of 2058; Byte 10580 of 12206 ~ The last two numbers are the byte position in the file and the total number of bytes. This takes into account how 'fileformat' changes the number of bytes that a line break uses. To move to a specific byte in the file, use the "go" command. For example, to move to byte 2345: > 2345go USING XXD A real binary editor shows the text in two ways: as it is and in hex format. You can do this in Vim by first converting the file with the "xxd" program. This comes with Vim. First edit the file in binary mode: > vim -b datafile Now convert the file to a hex dump with xxd: > :%!xxd The text will look like this: 0000000: 1f8b 0808 39d7 173b 0203 7474 002b 4e49 ....9..;..tt.+NI ~ 0000010: 4b2c 8660 eb9c ecac c462 eb94 345e 2e30 K,.`.....b..4^.0 ~ 0000020: 373b 2731 0b22 0ca6 c1a2 d669 1035 39d9 7;'1.".....i.59. ~ You can now view and edit the text as you like. Vim treats the information as ordinary text. Changing the hex does not cause the printable character to be changed, or the other way around. Finally convert it back with: > :%!xxd -r Only changes in the hex part are used. Changes in the printable text part on the right are ignored. See the manual page of xxd for more information. ============================================================================== 23.5 Compressed files This is easy: You can edit a compressed file just like any other file. The "gzip" plugin takes care of decompressing the file when you edit it. And compressing it again when you write it.

📄 usr_24.txt usr_24.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2018 Mar 18 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Inserting quickly When entering text, Vim offers various ways to reduce the number of keystrokes and avoid typing mistakes. Use Insert mode completion to repeat previously typed words. Abbreviate long words to short ones. Type characters that aren't on your keyboard. \|24.1\| Making corrections \|24.2\| Showing matches \|24.3\| Completion \|24.4\| Repeating an insert \|24.5\| Copying from another line \|24.6\| Inserting a register \|24.7\| Abbreviations \|24.8\| Entering special characters \|24.9\| Digraphs \|24.10\| Normal mode commands Next chapter: \|usr_25.txt\| Editing formatted text Previous chapter: \|usr_23.txt\| Editing other files Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 24.1 Making corrections The <BS> key was already mentioned. It deletes the character just before the cursor. The <Del> key does the same for the character under (after) the cursor. When you typed a whole word wrong, use CTRL-W: The horse had fallen to the sky ~ CTRL-W The horse had fallen to the ~ If you really messed up a line and want to start over, use CTRL-U to delete it. This keeps the text after the cursor and the indent. Only the text from the first non-blank to the cursor is deleted. With the cursor on the "f" of "fallen" in the next line pressing CTRL-U does this: The horse had fallen to the ~ CTRL-U fallen to the ~ When you spot a mistake a few words back, you need to move the cursor there to correct it. For example, you typed this: The horse had follen to the ground ~ You need to change "follen" to "fallen". With the cursor at the end, you would type this to correct it: > <Esc>4blraA < get out of Insert mode <Esc> four words back 4b move on top of the "o" l replace with "a" ra restart Insert mode A Another way to do this: > <C-Left><C-Left><C-Left><C-Left><Right><Del>a<End> < four words back <C-Left><C-Left><C-Left><C-Left> move on top of the "o" <Right> delete the "o" <Del> insert an "a" a go to end of the line <End> This uses special keys to move around, while remaining in Insert mode. This resembles what you would do in a modeless editor. It's easier to remember, but takes more time (you have to move your hand from the letters to the cursor keys, and the <End> key is hard to press without looking at the keyboard). These special keys are most useful when writing a mapping that doesn't leave Insert mode. The extra typing doesn't matter then. An overview of the keys you can use in Insert mode: <C-Home> to start of the file <PageUp> a whole screenful up <Home> to start of line <S-Left> one word left <C-Left> one word left <S-Right> one word right <C-Right> one word right <End> to end of the line <PageDown> a whole screenful down <C-End> to end of the file There are a few more, see \|ins-special-special\|. ============================================================================== 24.2 Showing matches When you type a ) it would be nice to see with which ( it matches. To make Vim do that use this command: > :set showmatch When you now type a text like "(example)", as soon as you type the ) Vim will briefly move the cursor to the matching (, keep it there for half a second, and move back to where you were typing. In case there is no matching (, Vim will beep. Then you know that you might have forgotten the ( somewhere, or typed a ) too many. The match will also be shown for [] and {} pairs. You don't have to wait with typing the next character, as soon as Vim sees it the cursor will move back and inserting continues as before. You can change the time Vim waits with the 'matchtime' option. For example, to make Vim wait one and a half second: > :set matchtime=15 The time is specified in tenths of a second. ============================================================================== 24.3 Completion Vim can automatically complete words on insertion. You type the first part of a word, press CTRL-P, and Vim guesses the rest. Suppose, for example, that you are creating a C program and want to type in the following: total = ch_array[0] + ch_array[1] + ch_array[2]; ~ You start by entering the following: total = ch_array[0] + ch_ ~ At this point, you tell Vim to complete the word using the command CTRL-P. Vim searches for a word that starts with what's in front of the cursor. In this case, it is "ch_", which matches with the word ch_array. So typing CTRL-P gives you the following: total = ch_array[0] + ch_array ~ After a little more typing, you get this (ending in a space): total = ch_array[0] + ch_array[1] + ~ If you now type CTRL-P Vim will search again for a word that completes the word before the cursor. Since there is nothing in front of the cursor, it finds the first word backwards, which is "ch_array". Typing CTRL-P again gives you the next word that matches, in this case "total". A third CTRL-P searches further back. If there is nothing else, it causes the editor to run out of words, so it returns to the original text, which is nothing. A fourth CTRL-P causes the editor to start over again with "ch_array". To search forward, use CTRL-N. Since the search wraps around the end of the file, CTRL-N and CTRL-P will find the same matches, but in a different sequence. Hint: CTRL-N is Next-match and CTRL-P is Previous-match. The Vim editor goes through a lot of effort to find words to complete. By default, it searches the following places: 1. Current file 2. Files in other windows 3. Other loaded files (hidden buffers) 4. Files which are not loaded (inactive buffers) 5. Tag files 6. All files #included by the current file OPTIONS You can customize the search order with the 'complete' option. The 'ignorecase' option is used. When it is set, case differences are ignored when searching for matches. A special option for completion is 'infercase'. This is useful to find matches while ignoring case ('ignorecase' must be set) but still using the case of the word typed so far. Thus if you type "For" and Vim finds a match "fortunately", it will result in "Fortunately". COMPLETING SPECIFIC ITEMS If you know what you are looking for, you can use these commands to complete with a certain type of item: CTRL-X CTRL-F file names CTRL-X CTRL-L whole lines CTRL-X CTRL-D macro definitions (also in included files) CTRL-X CTRL-I current and included files CTRL-X CTRL-K words from a dictionary CTRL-X CTRL-T words from a thesaurus CTRL-X CTRL-] tags CTRL-X CTRL-V Vim command line After each of them CTRL-N can be used to find the next match, CTRL-P to find the previous match. More information for each of these commands here: \|ins-completion\|. COMPLETING FILE NAMES Let's take CTRL-X CTRL-F as an example. This will find file names. It scans the current directory for files and displays each one that matches the word in front of the cursor. Suppose, for example, that you have the following files in the current directory: main.c sub_count.c sub_done.c sub_exit.c Now enter Insert mode and start typing: The exit code is in the file sub ~ At this point, you enter the command CTRL-X CTRL-F. Vim now completes the current word "sub" by looking at the files in the current directory. The first match is sub_count.c. This is not the one you want, so you match the next file by typing CTRL-N. This match is sub_done.c. Typing CTRL-N again takes you to sub_exit.c. The results: The exit code is in the file sub_exit.c ~ If the file name starts with / (Unix) or C:\ (MS-Windows) you can find all files in the file system. For example, type "/u" and CTRL-X CTRL-F. This will match "/usr" (this is on Unix): the file is found in /usr/ ~ If you now press CTRL-N you go back to "/u". Instead, to accept the "/usr/" and go one directory level deeper, use CTRL-X CTRL-F again: the file is found in /usr/X11R6/ ~ The results depend on what is found in your file system, of course. The matches are sorted alphabetically. COMPLETING IN SOURCE CODE Source code files are well structured. That makes it possible to do completion in an intelligent way. In Vim this is called Omni completion. In some other editors it's called intellisense, but that is a trademark. The key to Omni completion is CTRL-X CTRL-O. Obviously the O stands for Omni here, so that you can remember it easier. Let's use an example for editing C source: { ~ struct foo p; ~ p-> ~ The cursor is after "p->". Now type CTRL-X CTRL-O. Vim will offer you a list of alternatives, which are the items that "struct foo" contains. That is quite different from using CTRL-P, which would complete any word, while only members of "struct foo" are valid here. For Omni completion to work you may need to do some setup. At least make sure filetype plugins are enabled. Your vimrc file should contain a line like this: > filetype plugin on Or: > filetype plugin indent on For C code you need to create a tags file and set the 'tags' option. That is explained \|ft-c-omni\|. For other filetypes you may need to do something similar, look below \|compl-omni-filetypes\|. It only works for specific filetypes. Check the value of the 'omnifunc' option to find out if it would work. ============================================================================== 24.4* Repeating an insert If you press CTRL-A, the editor inserts the text you typed the last time you were in Insert mode. Assume, for example, that you have a file that begins with the following: "file.h" ~ /* Main program begins / ~ You edit this file by inserting "#include " at the beginning of the first line: #include "file.h" ~ / Main program begins / ~ You go down to the beginning of the next line using the commands "j^". You now start to insert a new "#include" line. So you type: > i CTRL-A The result is as follows: #include "file.h" ~ #include / Main program begins / ~ The "#include " was inserted because CTRL-A inserts the text of the previous insert. Now you type "main.h"<Enter> to finish the line: #include "file.h" ~ #include "main.h" ~ / Main program begins / ~ The CTRL-@ command does a CTRL-A and then exits Insert mode. That's a quick way of doing exactly the same insertion again. ============================================================================== 24.5* Copying from another line The CTRL-Y command inserts the character above the cursor. This is useful when you are duplicating a previous line. For example, you have this line of C code: b_array[i]->s_next = a_array[i]->s_next; ~ Now you need to type the same line, but with "s_prev" instead of "s_next". Start the new line, and press CTRL-Y 14 times, until you are at the "n" of "next": b_array[i]->s_next = a_array[i]->s_next; ~ b_array[i]->s_ ~ Now you type "prev": b_array[i]->s_next = a_array[i]->s_next; ~ b_array[i]->s_prev ~ Continue pressing CTRL-Y until the following "next": b_array[i]->s_next = a_array[i]->s_next; ~ b_array[i]->s_prev = a_array[i]->s_ ~ Now type "prev;" to finish it off. The CTRL-E command acts like CTRL-Y except it inserts the character below the cursor. ============================================================================== 24.6 Inserting a register The command CTRL-R {register} inserts the contents of the register. This is useful to avoid having to type a long word. For example, you need to type this: r = VeryLongFunction(a) + VeryLongFunction(b) + VeryLongFunction(c) ~ The function name is defined in a different file. Edit that file and move the cursor on top of the function name there, and yank it into register v: > "vyiw "v is the register specification, "yiw" is yank-inner-word. Now edit the file where the new line is to be inserted, and type the first letters: r = ~ Now use CTRL-R v to insert the function name: r = VeryLongFunction ~ You continue to type the characters in between the function name, and use CTRL-R v two times more. You could have done the same with completion. Using a register is useful when there are many words that start with the same characters. If the register contains characters such as <BS> or other special characters, they are interpreted as if they had been typed from the keyboard. If you do not want this to happen (you really want the <BS> to be inserted in the text), use the command CTRL-R CTRL-R {register}. ============================================================================== 24.7 Abbreviations An abbreviation is a short word that takes the place of a long one. For example, "ad" stands for "advertisement". Vim enables you to type an abbreviation and then will automatically expand it for you. To tell Vim to expand "ad" into "advertisement" every time you insert it, use the following command: > :iabbrev ad advertisement Now, when you type "ad", the whole word "advertisement" will be inserted into the text. This is triggered by typing a character that can't be part of a word, for example a space: What Is Entered What You See I saw the a I saw the a ~ I saw the ad I saw the ad ~ I saw the ad<Space> I saw the advertisement<Space> ~ The expansion doesn't happen when typing just "ad". That allows you to type a word like "add", which will not get expanded. Only whole words are checked for abbreviations. ABBREVIATING SEVERAL WORDS It is possible to define an abbreviation that results in multiple words. For example, to define "JB" as "Jack Benny", use the following command: > :iabbrev JB Jack Benny As a programmer, I use two rather unusual abbreviations: > :iabbrev #b /************************************** :iabbrev #e <Space>************************************/ These are used for creating boxed comments. The comment starts with #b, which draws the top line. I then type the comment text and use #e to draw the bottom line. Notice that the #e abbreviation begins with a space. In other words, the first two characters are space-star. Usually Vim ignores spaces between the abbreviation and the expansion. To avoid that problem, I spell space as seven characters: <, S, p, a, c, e, >. Note: ":iabbrev" is a long word to type. ":iab" works just as well. That's abbreviating the abbreviate command! FIXING TYPING MISTAKES It's very common to make the same typing mistake every time. For example, typing "teh" instead of "the". You can fix this with an abbreviation: > :abbreviate teh the You can add a whole list of these. Add one each time you discover a common mistake. LISTING ABBREVIATIONS The ":abbreviate" command lists the abbreviations: :abbreviate i #e ************************************/ i #b /************************************** i JB Jack Benny i ad advertisement ! teh the The "i" in the first column indicates Insert mode. These abbreviations are only active in Insert mode. Other possible characters are: c Command-line mode :cabbrev ! both Insert and Command-line mode :abbreviate Since abbreviations are not often useful in Command-line mode, you will mostly use the ":iabbrev" command. That avoids, for example, that "ad" gets expanded when typing a command like: > :edit ad DELETING ABBREVIATIONS To get rid of an abbreviation, use the ":unabbreviate" command. Suppose you have the following abbreviation: > :abbreviate @f fresh You can remove it with this command: > :unabbreviate @f While you type this, you will notice that @f is expanded to "fresh". Don't worry about this, Vim understands it anyway (except when you have an abbreviation for "fresh", but that's very unlikely). To remove all the abbreviations: > :abclear ":unabbreviate" and ":abclear" also come in the variants for Insert mode (":iunabbreviate and ":iabclear") and Command-line mode (":cunabbreviate" and ":cabclear"). REMAPPING ABBREVIATIONS There is one thing to watch out for when defining an abbreviation: The resulting string should not be mapped. For example: > :abbreviate @a adder :imap dd disk-door When you now type @a, you will get "adisk-doorer". That's not what you want. To avoid this, use the ":noreabbrev" command. It does the same as ":abbreviate", but avoids that the resulting string is used for mappings: > :noreabbrev @a adder Fortunately, it's unlikely that the result of an abbreviation is mapped. ============================================================================== 24.8 Entering special characters The CTRL-V command is used to insert the next character literally. In other words, any special meaning the character has, it will be ignored. For example: > CTRL-V <Esc> Inserts an escape character. Thus you don't leave Insert mode. (Don't type the space after CTRL-V, it's only to make this easier to read). Note: On MS-Windows CTRL-V is used to paste text. Use CTRL-Q instead of CTRL-V. On Unix, on the other hand, CTRL-Q does not work on some terminals, because it has a special meaning. You can also use the command CTRL-V {digits} to insert a character with the decimal number {digits}. For example, the character number 127 is the <Del> character (but not necessarily the <Del> key!). To insert <Del> type: > CTRL-V 127 You can enter characters up to 255 this way. When you type fewer than two digits, a non-digit will terminate the command. To avoid the need of typing a non-digit, prepend one or two zeros to make three digits. All the next commands insert a <Tab> and then a dot: CTRL-V 9. CTRL-V 09. CTRL-V 009. To enter a character in hexadecimal, use an "x" after the CTRL-V: > CTRL-V x7f This also goes up to character 255 (CTRL-V xff). You can use "o" to type a character as an octal number and two more methods allow you to type up to a 16 bit and a 32 bit number (e.g., for a Unicode character): > CTRL-V o123 CTRL-V u1234 CTRL-V U12345678 ============================================================================== 24.9 Digraphs Some characters are not on the keyboard. For example, the copyright character (©). To type these characters in Vim, you use digraphs, where two characters represent one. To enter a ©, for example, you press three keys: > CTRL-K Co To find out what digraphs are available, use the following command: > :digraphs Vim will display the digraph table. Here are three lines of it: AC ~_ 159 NS \| 160 !I ¡ 161 Ct ¢ 162 Pd £ 163 Cu ¤ 164 Ye ¥ 165 ~ BB ¦ 166 SE § 167 ': ¨ 168 Co © 169 -a ª 170 << « 171 NO ¬ 172 ~ -- 173 Rg ® 174 'm ¯ 175 DG ° 176 +- ± 177 2S ² 178 3S ³ 179 ~ This shows, for example, that the digraph you get by typing CTRL-K Pd is the character (£). This is character number 163 (decimal). Pd is short for Pound. Most digraphs are selected to give you a hint about the character they will produce. If you look through the list you will understand the logic. You can exchange the first and second character, if there is no digraph for that combination. Thus CTRL-K dP also works. Since there is no digraph for "dP" Vim will also search for a "Pd" digraph. Note: The digraphs depend on the character set that Vim assumes you are using. Always use ":digraphs" to find out which digraphs are currently available. You can define your own digraphs. Example: > :digraph a" ä This defines that CTRL-K a" inserts an ä character. You can also specify the character with a decimal number. This defines the same digraph: > :digraph a" 228 More information about digraphs here: \|digraphs\| Another way to insert special characters is with a keymap. More about that here: \|45.5\| ============================================================================== 24.10 Normal mode commands Insert mode offers a limited number of commands. In Normal mode you have many more. When you want to use one, you usually leave Insert mode with <Esc>, execute the Normal mode command, and re-enter Insert mode with "i" or "a". There is a quicker way. With CTRL-O {command} you can execute any Normal mode command from Insert mode. For example, to delete from the cursor to the end of the line: > CTRL-O D You can execute only one Normal mode command this way. But you can specify a register or a count. A more complicated example: > CTRL-O "g3dw This deletes up to the third word into register g. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_25.txt\| Editing formatted text Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	20.34 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_25.txt usr_25.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2016 Mar 28 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Editing formatted text Text hardly ever comes in one sentence per line. This chapter is about breaking sentences to make them fit on a page and other formatting. Vim also has useful features for editing single-line paragraphs and tables. \|25.1\| Breaking lines \|25.2\| Aligning text \|25.3\| Indents and tabs \|25.4\| Dealing with long lines \|25.5\| Editing tables Next chapter: \|usr_26.txt\| Repeating Previous chapter: \|usr_24.txt\| Inserting quickly Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 25.1 Breaking lines Vim has a number of functions that make dealing with text easier. By default, the editor does not perform automatic line breaks. In other words, you have to press <Enter> yourself. This is useful when you are writing programs where you want to decide where the line ends. It is not so good when you are creating documentation and want the text to be at most 70 character wide. If you set the 'textwidth' option, Vim automatically inserts line breaks. Suppose, for example, that you want a very narrow column of only 30 characters. You need to execute the following command: > :set textwidth=30 Now you start typing (ruler added): 1 2 3 12345678901234567890123456789012345 I taught programming for a whi ~ If you type "l" next, this makes the line longer than the 30-character limit. When Vim sees this, it inserts a line break and you get the following: 1 2 3 12345678901234567890123456789012345 I taught programming for a ~ whil ~ Continuing on, you can type in the rest of the paragraph: 1 2 3 12345678901234567890123456789012345 I taught programming for a ~ while. One time, I was stopped ~ by the Fort Worth police, ~ because my homework was too ~ hard. True story. ~ You do not have to type newlines; Vim puts them in automatically. Note: The 'wrap' option makes Vim display lines with a line break, but this doesn't insert a line break in the file. REFORMATTING The Vim editor is not a word processor. In a word processor, if you delete something at the beginning of the paragraph, the line breaks are reworked. In Vim they are not; so if you delete the word "programming" from the first line, all you get is a short line: 1 2 3 12345678901234567890123456789012345 I taught for a ~ while. One time, I was stopped ~ by the Fort Worth police, ~ because my homework was too ~ hard. True story. ~ This does not look good. To get the paragraph into shape you use the "gq" operator. Let's first use this with a Visual selection. Starting from the first line, type: > v4jgq "v" to start Visual mode, "4j" to move to the end of the paragraph and then the "gq" operator. The result is: 1 2 3 12345678901234567890123456789012345 I taught for a while. One ~ time, I was stopped by the ~ Fort Worth police, because my ~ homework was too hard. True ~ story. ~ Note: there is a way to do automatic formatting for specific types of text layouts, see \|auto-format\|. Since "gq" is an operator, you can use one of the three ways to select the text it works on: With Visual mode, with a movement and with a text object. The example above could also be done with "gq4j". That's less typing, but you have to know the line count. A more useful motion command is "}". This moves to the end of a paragraph. Thus "gq}" formats from the cursor to the end of the current paragraph. A very useful text object to use with "gq" is the paragraph. Try this: > gqap "ap" stands for "a-paragraph". This formats the text of one paragraph (separated by empty lines). Also the part before the cursor. If you have your paragraphs separated by empty lines, you can format the whole file by typing this: > gggqG "gg" to move to the first line, "gqG" to format until the last line. Warning: If your paragraphs are not properly separated, they will be joined together. A common mistake is to have a line with a space or tab. That's a blank line, but not an empty line. Vim is able to format more than just plain text. See \|fo-table\| for how to change this. See the 'joinspaces' option to change the number of spaces used after a full stop. It is possible to use an external program for formatting. This is useful if your text can't be properly formatted with Vim's builtin command. See the 'formatprg' option. ============================================================================== 25.2 Aligning text To center a range of lines, use the following command: > :{range}center [width] {range} is the usual command-line range. [width] is an optional line width to use for centering. If [width] is not specified, it defaults to the value of 'textwidth'. (If 'textwidth' is 0, the default is 80.) For example: > :1,5center 40 results in the following: I taught for a while. One ~ time, I was stopped by the ~ Fort Worth police, because my ~ homework was too hard. True ~ story. ~ RIGHT ALIGNMENT Similarly, the ":right" command right-justifies the text: > :1,5right 37 gives this result: I taught for a while. One ~ time, I was stopped by the ~ Fort Worth police, because my ~ homework was too hard. True ~ story. ~ LEFT ALIGNMENT Finally there is this command: > :{range}left [margin] Unlike ":center" and ":right", however, the argument to ":left" is not the length of the line. Instead it is the left margin. If it is omitted, the text will be put against the left side of the screen (using a zero margin would do the same). If it is 5, the text will be indented 5 spaces. For example, use these commands: > :1left 5 :2,5left This results in the following: I taught for a while. One ~ time, I was stopped by the ~ Fort Worth police, because my ~ homework was too hard. True ~ story. ~ JUSTIFYING TEXT Vim has no built-in way of justifying text. However, there is a neat macro package that does the job. To use this package, execute the following command: > :packadd justify Or put this line in your \|vimrc\|: > packadd! justify This Vim script file defines a new visual command "_j". To justify a block of text, highlight the text in Visual mode and then execute "_j". Look in the file for more explanations. To go there, do "gf" on this name: $VIMRUNTIME/pack/dist/opt/justify/plugin/justify.vim. An alternative is to filter the text through an external program. Example: > :%!fmt ============================================================================== 25.3 Indents and tabs Indents can be used to make text stand out from the rest. The example texts in this manual, for example, are indented by eight spaces or a tab. You would normally enter this by typing a tab at the start of each line. Take this text: the first line ~ the second line ~ This is entered by typing a tab, some text, <Enter>, tab and more text. The 'autoindent' option inserts indents automatically: > :set autoindent When a new line is started it gets the same indent as the previous line. In the above example, the tab after the <Enter> is not needed anymore. INCREASING INDENT To increase the amount of indent in a line, use the ">" operator. Often this is used as ">>", which adds indent to the current line. The amount of indent added is specified with the 'shiftwidth' option. The default value is 8. To make ">>" insert four spaces worth of indent, for example, type this: > :set shiftwidth=4 When used on the second line of the example text, this is what you get: the first line ~ the second line ~ "4>>" will increase the indent of four lines. TABSTOP If you want to make indents a multiple of 4, you set 'shiftwidth' to 4. But when pressing a <Tab> you still get 8 spaces worth of indent. To change this, set the 'softtabstop' option: > :set softtabstop=4 This will make the <Tab> key insert 4 spaces worth of indent. If there are already four spaces, a <Tab> character is used (saving seven characters in the file). (If you always want spaces and no tab characters, set the 'expandtab' option.) Note: You could set the 'tabstop' option to 4. However, if you edit the file another time, with 'tabstop' set to the default value of 8, it will look wrong. In other programs and when printing the indent will also be wrong. Therefore it is recommended to keep 'tabstop' at eight all the time. That's the standard value everywhere. CHANGING TABS You edit a file which was written with a tabstop of 3. In Vim it looks ugly, because it uses the normal tabstop value of 8. You can fix this by setting 'tabstop' to 3. But you have to do this every time you edit this file. Vim can change the use of tabstops in your file. First, set 'tabstop' to make the indents look good, then use the ":retab" command: > :set tabstop=3 :retab 8 The ":retab" command will change 'tabstop' to 8, while changing the text such that it looks the same. It changes spans of white space into tabs and spaces for this. You can now write the file. Next time you edit it the indents will be right without setting an option. Warning: When using ":retab" on a program, it may change white space inside a string constant. Therefore it's a good habit to use "\t" instead of a real tab. ============================================================================== 25.4 Dealing with long lines Sometimes you will be editing a file that is wider than the number of columns in the window. When that occurs, Vim wraps the lines so that everything fits on the screen. If you switch the 'wrap' option off, each line in the file shows up as one line on the screen. Then the ends of the long lines disappear off the screen to the right. When you move the cursor to a character that can't be seen, Vim will scroll the text to show it. This is like moving a viewport over the text in the horizontal direction. By default, Vim does not display a horizontal scrollbar in the GUI. If you want to enable one, use the following command: > :set guioptions+=b One horizontal scrollbar will appear at the bottom of the Vim window. If you don't have a scrollbar or don't want to use it, use these commands to scroll the text. The cursor will stay in the same place, but it's moved back into the visible text if necessary. zh scroll right 4zh scroll four characters right zH scroll half a window width right ze scroll right to put the cursor at the end zl scroll left 4zl scroll four characters left zL scroll half a window width left zs scroll left to put the cursor at the start Let's attempt to show this with one line of text. The cursor is on the "w" of "which". The "current window" above the line indicates the text that is currently visible. The "window"s below the text indicate the text that is visible after the command left of it. \|<-- current window -->\| some long text, part of which is visible in the window ~ ze \|<-- window -->\| zH \|<-- window -->\| 4zh \|<-- window -->\| zh \|<-- window -->\| zl \|<-- window -->\| 4zl \|<-- window -->\| zL \|<-- window -->\| zs \|<-- window -->\| MOVING WITH WRAP OFF When 'wrap' is off and the text has scrolled horizontally, you can use the following commands to move the cursor to a character you can see. Thus text left and right of the window is ignored. These never cause the text to scroll: g0 to first visible character in this line g^ to first non-blank visible character in this line gm to middle of screen line gM to middle of the text in this line g$ to last visible character in this line \|<-- window -->\| some long text, part of which is visible in one line ~ g0 g^ gm gM g$ BREAKING AT WORDS edit-no-break When preparing text for use by another program, you might have to make paragraphs without a line break. A disadvantage of using 'nowrap' is that you can't see the whole sentence you are working on. When 'wrap' is on, words are broken halfway, which makes them hard to read. A good solution for editing this kind of paragraph is setting the 'linebreak' option. Vim then breaks lines at an appropriate place when displaying the line. The text in the file remains unchanged. Without 'linebreak' text might look like this: +---------------------------------+ \|letter generation program for a b\| \|ank. They wanted to send out a s\| \|pecial, personalized letter to th\| \|eir richest 1000 customers. Unfo\| \|rtunately for the programmer, he \| +---------------------------------+ After: > :set linebreak it looks like this: +---------------------------------+ \|letter generation program for a \| \|bank. They wanted to send out a \| \|special, personalized letter to \| \|their richest 1000 customers. \| \|Unfortunately for the programmer,\| +---------------------------------+ Related options: 'breakat' specifies the characters where a break can be inserted. 'showbreak' specifies a string to show at the start of broken line. Set 'textwidth' to zero to avoid a paragraph to be split. MOVING BY VISIBLE LINES The "j" and "k" commands move to the next and previous lines. When used on a long line, this means moving a lot of screen lines at once. To move only one screen line, use the "gj" and "gk" commands. When a line doesn't wrap they do the same as "j" and "k". When the line does wrap, they move to a character displayed one line below or above. You might like to use these mappings, which bind these movement commands to the cursor keys: > :map <Up> gk :map <Down> gj TURNING A PARAGRAPH INTO ONE LINE edit-paragraph-join If you want to import text into a program like MS-Word, each paragraph should be a single line. If your paragraphs are currently separated with empty lines, this is how you turn each paragraph into a single line: > :g/./,/^$/join That looks complicated. Let's break it up in pieces: :g/./ A ":global" command that finds all lines that contain at least one character. ,/^$/ A range, starting from the current line (the non-empty line) until an empty line. join The ":join" command joins the range of lines together into one line. Starting with this text, containing eight lines broken at column 30: +----------------------------------+ \|A letter generation program \| \|for a bank. They wanted to \| \|send out a special, \| \|personalized letter. \| \| \| \|To their richest 1000 \| \|customers. Unfortunately for \| \|the programmer, \| +----------------------------------+ You end up with two lines: +----------------------------------+ \|A letter generation program for a \| \|bank. They wanted to send out a s\| \|pecial, personalized letter. \| \|To their richest 1000 customers. \| \|Unfortunately for the programmer, \| +----------------------------------+ Note that this doesn't work when the separating line is blank but not empty; when it contains spaces and/or tabs. This command does work with blank lines: > :g/\S/,/^\s$/join This still requires a blank or empty line at the end of the file for the last paragraph to be joined. ============================================================================== 25.5* Editing tables Suppose you are editing a table with four columns: nice table test 1 test 2 test 3 ~ input A 0.534 ~ input B 0.913 ~ You need to enter numbers in the third column. You could move to the second line, use "A", enter a lot of spaces and type the text. For this kind of editing there is a special option: > set virtualedit=all Now you can move the cursor to positions where there isn't any text. This is called "virtual space". Editing a table is a lot easier this way. Move the cursor by searching for the header of the last column: > /test 3 Now press "j" and you are right where you can enter the value for "input A". Typing "0.693" results in: nice table test 1 test 2 test 3 ~ input A 0.534 0.693 ~ input B 0.913 ~ Vim has automatically filled the gap in front of the new text for you. Now, to enter the next field in this column use "Bj". "B" moves back to the start of a white space separated word. Then "j" moves to the place where the next field can be entered. Note: You can move the cursor anywhere in the display, also beyond the end of a line. But Vim will not insert spaces there, until you insert a character in that position. COPYING A COLUMN You want to add a column, which should be a copy of the third column and placed before the "test 1" column. Do this in seven steps: 1. Move the cursor to the left upper corner of this column, e.g., with "/test 3". 2. Press CTRL-V to start blockwise Visual mode. 3. Move the cursor down two lines with "2j". You are now in "virtual space": the "input B" line of the "test 3" column. 4. Move the cursor right, to include the whole column in the selection, plus the space that you want between the columns. "9l" should do it. 5. Yank the selected rectangle with "y". 6. Move the cursor to "test 1", where the new column must be placed. 7. Press "P". The result should be: nice table test 3 test 1 test 2 test 3 ~ input A 0.693 0.534 0.693 ~ input B 0.913 ~ Notice that the whole "test 1" column was shifted right, also the line where the "test 3" column didn't have text. Go back to non-virtual cursor movements with: > :set virtualedit= VIRTUAL REPLACE MODE The disadvantage of using 'virtualedit' is that it "feels" different. You can't recognize tabs or spaces beyond the end of line when moving the cursor around. Another method can be used: Virtual Replace mode. Suppose you have a line in a table that contains both tabs and other characters. Use "rx" on the first tab: inp 0.693 0.534 0.693 ~ \| rx \| V inpx0.693 0.534 0.693 ~ The layout is messed up. To avoid that, use the "gr" command: inp 0.693 0.534 0.693 ~ \| grx \| V inpx 0.693 0.534 0.693 ~ What happens is that the "gr" command makes sure the new character takes the right amount of screen space. Extra spaces or tabs are inserted to fill the gap. Thus what actually happens is that a tab is replaced by "x" and then blanks added to make the text after it keep its place. In this case a tab is inserted. When you need to replace more than one character, you use the "R" command to go to Replace mode (see \|04.9\|). This messes up the layout and replaces the wrong characters: inp 0 0.534 0.693 ~ \| R0.786 \| V inp 0.78634 0.693 ~ The "gR" command uses Virtual Replace mode. This preserves the layout: inp 0 0.534 0.693 ~ \| gR0.786 \| V inp 0.786 0.534 0.693 ~ ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_26.txt\| Repeating Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	18.73 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_26.txt usr_26.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2006 Apr 24 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Repeating An editing task is hardly ever unstructured. A change often needs to be made several times. In this chapter a number of useful ways to repeat a change will be explained. \|26.1\| Repeating with Visual mode \|26.2\| Add and subtract \|26.3\| Making a change in many files \|26.4\| Using Vim from a shell script Next chapter: \|usr_27.txt\| Search commands and patterns Previous chapter: \|usr_25.txt\| Editing formatted text Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 26.1 Repeating with Visual mode Visual mode is very handy for making a change in any sequence of lines. You can see the highlighted text, thus you can check if the correct lines are changed. But making the selection takes some typing. The "gv" command selects the same area again. This allows you to do another operation on the same text. Suppose you have some lines where you want to change "2001" to "2002" and "2000" to "2001": The financial results for 2001 are better ~ than for 2000. The income increased by 50%, ~ even though 2001 had more rain than 2000. ~ 2000 2001 ~ income 45,403 66,234 ~ First change "2001" to "2002". Select the lines in Visual mode, and use: > :s/2001/2002/g Now use "gv" to reselect the same text. It doesn't matter where the cursor is. Then use ":s/2000/2001/g" to make the second change. Obviously, you can repeat these changes several times. ============================================================================== 26.2 Add and subtract When repeating the change of one number into another, you often have a fixed offset. In the example above, one was added to each year. Instead of typing a substitute command for each year that appears, the CTRL-A command can be used. Using the same text as above, search for a year: > /19[0-9][0-9]\\|20[0-9][0-9] Now press CTRL-A. The year will be increased by one: The financial results for 2002 are better ~ than for 2000. The income increased by 50%, ~ even though 2001 had more rain than 2000. ~ 2000 2001 ~ income 45,403 66,234 ~ Use "n" to find the next year, and press "." to repeat the CTRL-A ("." is a bit quicker to type). Repeat "n" and "." for all years that appear. Hint: set the 'hlsearch' option to see the matches you are going to change, then you can look ahead and do it faster. Adding more than one can be done by prepending the number to CTRL-A. Suppose you have this list: 1. item four ~ 2. item five ~ 3. item six ~ Move the cursor to "1." and type: > 3 CTRL-A The "1." will change to "4.". Again, you can use "." to repeat this on the other numbers. Another example: 006 foo bar ~ 007 foo bar ~ Using CTRL-A on these numbers results in: 007 foo bar ~ 010 foo bar ~ 7 plus one is 10? What happened here is that Vim recognized "007" as an octal number, because there is a leading zero. This notation is often used in C programs. If you do not want a number with leading zeros to be handled as octal, use this: > :set nrformats-=octal The CTRL-X command does subtraction in a similar way. ============================================================================== 26.3 Making a change in many files Suppose you have a variable called "x_cnt" and you want to change it to "x_counter". This variable is used in several of your C files. You need to change it in all files. This is how you do it. Put all the relevant files in the argument list: > :args .c < This finds all C files and edits the first one. Now you can perform a substitution command on all these files: > :argdo %s/\<x_cnt\>/x_counter/ge \| update The ":argdo" command takes an argument that is another command. That command will be executed on all files in the argument list. The "%s" substitute command that follows works on all lines. It finds the word "x_cnt" with "\<x_cnt\>". The "\<" and "\>" are used to match the whole word only, and not "px_cnt" or "x_cnt2". The flags for the substitute command include "g" to replace all occurrences of "x_cnt" in the same line. The "e" flag is used to avoid an error message when "x_cnt" does not appear in the file. Otherwise ":argdo" would abort on the first file where "x_cnt" was not found. The "\|" separates two commands. The following "update" command writes the file only if it was changed. If no "x_cnt" was changed to "x_counter" nothing happens. There is also the ":windo" command, which executes its argument in all windows. And ":bufdo" executes its argument on all buffers. Be careful with this, because you might have more files in the buffer list than you think. Check this with the ":buffers" command (or ":ls"). ============================================================================== 26.4* Using Vim from a shell script Suppose you have a lot of files in which you need to change the string "-person-" to "Jones" and then print it. How do you do that? One way is to do a lot of typing. The other is to write a shell script to do the work. The Vim editor does a superb job as a screen-oriented editor when using Normal mode commands. For batch processing, however, Normal mode commands do not result in clear, commented command files; so here you will use Ex mode instead. This mode gives you a nice command-line interface that makes it easy to put into a batch file. ("Ex command" is just another name for a command-line (:) command.) The Ex mode commands you need are as follows: > %s/-person-/Jones/g write tempfile quit You put these commands in the file "change.vim". Now to run the editor in batch mode, use this shell script: > for file in *.txt; do vim -e -s $file < change.vim lpr -r tempfile done The for-done loop is a shell construct to repeat the two lines in between, while the $file variable is set to a different file name each time. The second line runs the Vim editor in Ex mode (-e argument) on the file $file and reads commands from the file "change.vim". The -s argument tells Vim to operate in silent mode. In other words, do not keep outputting the :prompt, or any other prompt for that matter. The "lpr -r tempfile" command prints the resulting "tempfile" and deletes it (that's what the -r argument does). READING FROM STDIN Vim can read text on standard input. Since the normal way is to read commands there, you must tell Vim to read text instead. This is done by passing the "-" argument in place of a file. Example: > ls \| vim - This allows you to edit the output of the "ls" command, without first saving the text in a file. If you use the standard input to read text from, you can use the "-S" argument to read a script: > producer \| vim -S change.vim - NORMAL MODE SCRIPTS If you really want to use Normal mode commands in a script, you can use it like this: > vim -s script file.txt ... < Note: "-s" has a different meaning when it is used without "-e". Here it means to source the "script" as Normal mode commands. When used with "-e" it means to be silent, and doesn't use the next argument as a file name. The commands in "script" are executed like you typed them. Don't forget that a line break is interpreted as pressing <Enter>. In Normal mode that moves the cursor to the next line. To create the script you can edit the script file and type the commands. You need to imagine what the result would be, which can be a bit difficult. Another way is to record the commands while you perform them manually. This is how you do that: > vim -w script file.txt ... All typed keys will be written to "script". If you make a small mistake you can just continue and remember to edit the script later. The "-w" argument appends to an existing script. That is good when you want to record the script bit by bit. If you want to start from scratch and start all over, use the "-W" argument. It overwrites any existing file. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_27.txt\| Search commands and patterns Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	8.07 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_27.txt usr_27.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Jul 14 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Search commands and patterns In chapter 3 a few simple search patterns were mentioned \|03.9\|. Vim can do much more complex searches. This chapter explains the most often used ones. A detailed specification can be found here: \|pattern\| \|27.1\| Ignoring case \|27.2\| Wrapping around the file end \|27.3\| Offsets \|27.4\| Matching multiple times \|27.5\| Alternatives \|27.6\| Character ranges \|27.7\| Character classes \|27.8\| Matching a line break \|27.9\| Examples Next chapter: \|usr_28.txt\| Folding Previous chapter: \|usr_26.txt\| Repeating Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 27.1 Ignoring case By default, Vim's searches are case sensitive. Therefore, "include", "INCLUDE", and "Include" are three different words and a search will match only one of them. Now switch on the 'ignorecase' option: > :set ignorecase Search for "include" again, and now it will match "Include", "INCLUDE" and "InClUDe". (Set the 'hlsearch' option to quickly see where a pattern matches.) You can switch this off again with: > :set noignorecase But let's keep it set, and search for "INCLUDE". It will match exactly the same text as "include" did. Now set the 'smartcase' option: > :set ignorecase smartcase If you have a pattern with at least one uppercase character, the search becomes case sensitive. The idea is that you didn't have to type that uppercase character, so you must have done it because you wanted case to match. That's smart! With these two options set you find the following matches: pattern matches ~ word word, Word, WORD, WoRd, etc. Word Word WORD WORD WoRd WoRd CASE IN ONE PATTERN If you want to ignore case for one specific pattern, you can do this by prepending the "\c" string. Using "\C" will make the pattern to match case. This overrules the 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options, when "\c" or "\C" is used their value doesn't matter. pattern matches ~ \Cword word \CWord Word \cword word, Word, WORD, WoRd, etc. \cWord word, Word, WORD, WoRd, etc. A big advantage of using "\c" and "\C" is that it sticks with the pattern. Thus if you repeat a pattern from the search history, the same will happen, no matter if 'ignorecase' or 'smartcase' was changed. Note: The use of "\" items in search patterns depends on the 'magic' option. In this chapter we will assume 'magic' is on, because that is the standard and recommended setting. If you would change 'magic', many search patterns would suddenly become invalid. Note: If your search takes much longer than you expected, you can interrupt it with CTRL-C on Unix and CTRL-Break on MS-Windows. ============================================================================== 27.2 Wrapping around the file end By default, a forward search starts searching for the given string at the current cursor location. It then proceeds to the end of the file. If it has not found the string by that time, it starts from the beginning and searches from the start of the file to the cursor location. Keep in mind that when repeating the "n" command to search for the next match, you eventually get back to the first match. If you don't notice this you keep searching forever! To give you a hint, Vim displays this message: search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP ~ If you use the "?" command, to search in the other direction, you get this message: search hit TOP, continuing at BOTTOM ~ Still, you don't know when you are back at the first match. One way to see this is by switching on the 'ruler' option: > :set ruler Vim will display the cursor position in the lower righthand corner of the window (in the status line if there is one). It looks like this: 101,29 84% ~ The first number is the line number of the cursor. Remember the line number where you started, so that you can check if you passed this position again. NOT WRAPPING To turn off search wrapping, use the following command: > :set nowrapscan Now when the search hits the end of the file, an error message displays: E385: search hit BOTTOM without match for: forever ~ Thus you can find all matches by going to the start of the file with "gg" and keep searching until you see this message. If you search in the other direction, using "?", you get: E384: search hit TOP without match for: forever ~ ============================================================================== 27.3 Offsets By default, the search command leaves the cursor positioned on the beginning of the pattern. You can tell Vim to leave it some other place by specifying an offset. For the forward search command "/", the offset is specified by appending a slash (/) and the offset: > /default/2 This command searches for the pattern "default" and then moves to the beginning of the second line past the pattern. Using this command on the paragraph above, Vim finds the word "default" in the first line. Then the cursor is moved two lines down and lands on "an offset". If the offset is a simple number, the cursor will be placed at the beginning of the line that many lines from the match. The offset number can be positive or negative. If it is positive, the cursor moves down that many lines; if negative, it moves up. CHARACTER OFFSETS The "e" offset indicates an offset from the end of the match. It moves the cursor onto the last character of the match. The command: > /const/e puts the cursor on the "t" of "const". From that position, adding a number moves forward that many characters. This command moves to the character just after the match: > /const/e+1 A positive number moves the cursor to the right, a negative number moves it to the left. For example: > /const/e-1 moves the cursor to the "s" of "const". If the offset begins with "b", the cursor moves to the beginning of the pattern. That's not very useful, since leaving out the "b" does the same thing. It does get useful when a number is added or subtracted. The cursor then goes forward or backward that many characters. For example: > /const/b+2 Moves the cursor to the beginning of the match and then two characters to the right. Thus it lands on the "n". REPEATING To repeat searching for the previously used search pattern, but with a different offset, leave out the pattern: > /that //e Is equal to: > /that/e To repeat with the same offset: > / "n" does the same thing. To repeat while removing a previously used offset: > // SEARCHING BACKWARDS The "?" command uses offsets in the same way, but you must use "?" to separate the offset from the pattern, instead of "/": > ?const?e-2 The "b" and "e" keep their meaning, they don't change direction with the use of "?". START POSITION When starting a search, it normally starts at the cursor position. When you specify a line offset, this can cause trouble. For example: > /const/-2 This finds the next word "const" and then moves two lines up. If you use "n" to search again, Vim could start at the current position and find the same "const" match. Then using the offset again, you would be back where you started. You would be stuck! It could be worse: Suppose there is another match with "const" in the next line. Then repeating the forward search would find this match and move two lines up. Thus you would actually move the cursor back! When you specify a character offset, Vim will compensate for this. Thus the search starts a few characters forward or backward, so that the same match isn't found again. ============================================================================== 27.4 Matching multiple times The "" item specifies that the item before it can match any number of times. Thus: > /a matches "a", "aa", "aaa", etc. But also "" (the empty string), because zero times is included. The "" only applies to the item directly before it. Thus "ab" matches "a", "ab", "abb", "abbb", etc. To match a whole string multiple times, it must be grouped into one item. This is done by putting "$" before it and "$" after it. Thus this command: > /$ab$* Matches: "ab", "abab", "ababab", etc. And also "". To avoid matching the empty string, use "\+". This makes the previous item match one or more times. > /ab\+ Matches "ab", "abb", "abbb", etc. It does not match "a" when no "b" follows. To match an optional item, use "\=". Example: > /folders\= Matches "folder" and "folders". SPECIFIC COUNTS To match a specific number of items use the form "\{n,m}". "n" and "m" are numbers. The item before it will be matched "n" to "m" times \|inclusive\|. Example: > /ab\{3,5} matches "abbb", "abbbb" and "abbbbb". When "n" is omitted, it defaults to zero. When "m" is omitted it defaults to infinity. When ",m" is omitted, it matches exactly "n" times. Examples: pattern match count ~ \{,4} 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 \{3,} 3, 4, 5, etc. \{0,1} 0 or 1, same as \= \{0,} 0 or more, same as * \{1,} 1 or more, same as \+ \{3} 3 MATCHING AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE The items so far match as many characters as they can find. To match as few as possible, use "\{-n,m}". It works the same as "\{n,m}", except that the minimal amount possible is used. For example, use: > /ab\{-1,3} Will match "ab" in "abbb". Actually, it will never match more than one b, because there is no reason to match more. It requires something else to force it to match more than the lower limit. The same rules apply to removing "n" and "m". It's even possible to remove both of the numbers, resulting in "\{-}". This matches the item before it zero or more times, as few as possible. The item by itself always matches zero times. It is useful when combined with something else. Example: > /a.\{-}b This matches "axb" in "axbxb". If this pattern would be used: > /a.b It would try to match as many characters as possible with ".", thus it matches "axbxb" as a whole. ============================================================================== 27.5 Alternatives The "or" operator in a pattern is "\\|". Example: > /foo\\|bar This matches "foo" or "bar". More alternatives can be concatenated: > /one\\|two\\|three Matches "one", "two" and "three". To match multiple times, the whole thing must be placed in "$" and "$": > /$foo\\|bar$\+ This matches "foo", "foobar", "foofoo", "barfoobar", etc. Another example: > /end$if\\|while\\|for$ This matches "endif", "endwhile" and "endfor". A related item is "\&". This requires that both alternatives match in the same place. The resulting match uses the last alternative. Example: > /forever\&... This matches "for" in "forever". It will not match "fortuin", for example. ============================================================================== 27.6 Character ranges To match "a", "b" or "c" you could use "/a\\|b\\|c". When you want to match all letters from "a" to "z" this gets very long. There is a shorter method: > /[a-z] The [] construct matches a single character. Inside you specify which characters to match. You can include a list of characters, like this: > /[0123456789abcdef] This will match any of the characters included. For consecutive characters you can specify the range. "0-3" stands for "0123". "w-z" stands for "wxyz". Thus the same command as above can be shortened to: > /[0-9a-f] To match the "-" character itself make it the first or last one in the range. These special characters are accepted to make it easier to use them inside a [] range (they can actually be used anywhere in the search pattern): \e <Esc> \t <Tab> \r <CR> \b <BS> There are a few more special cases for [] ranges, see \|/[]\| for the whole story. COMPLEMENTED RANGE To avoid matching a specific character, use "^" at the start of the range. The [] item then matches everything but the characters included. Example: > /"[^"]" < " a double quote [^"] any character that is not a double quote as many as possible " a double quote again This matches "foo" and "3!x", including the double quotes. PREDEFINED RANGES A number of ranges are used very often. Vim provides a shortcut for these. For example: > /\a Finds alphabetic characters. This is equal to using "/[a-zA-Z]". Here are a few more of these: item matches equivalent ~ \d digit [0-9] \D non-digit [^0-9] \x hex digit [0-9a-fA-F] \X non-hex digit [^0-9a-fA-F] \s white space [ ] (<Tab> and <Space>) \S non-white characters [^ ] (not <Tab> and <Space>) \l lowercase alpha [a-z] \L non-lowercase alpha [^a-z] \u uppercase alpha [A-Z] \U non-uppercase alpha [^A-Z] Note: Using these predefined ranges works a lot faster than the character range it stands for. These items can not be used inside []. Thus "[\d\l]" does NOT work to match a digit or lowercase alpha. Use "$\d\\|\l$" instead. See \|/\s\| for the whole list of these ranges. ============================================================================== 27.7 Character classes The character range matches a fixed set of characters. A character class is similar, but with an essential difference: The set of characters can be redefined without changing the search pattern. For example, search for this pattern: > /\f\+ The "\f" item stands for file name characters. Thus this matches a sequence of characters that can be a file name. Which characters can be part of a file name depends on the system you are using. On MS-Windows, the backslash is included, on Unix it is not. This is specified with the 'isfname' option. The default value for Unix is: > :set isfname isfname=@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,~,= For other systems the default value is different. Thus you can make a search pattern with "\f" to match a file name, and it will automatically adjust to the system you are using it on. Note: Actually, Unix allows using just about any character in a file name, including white space. Including these characters in 'isfname' would be theoretically correct. But it would make it impossible to find the end of a file name in text. Thus the default value of 'isfname' is a compromise. The character classes are: item matches option ~ \i identifier characters 'isident' \I like \i, excluding digits \k keyword characters 'iskeyword' \K like \k, excluding digits \p printable characters 'isprint' \P like \p, excluding digits \f file name characters 'isfname' \F like \f, excluding digits ============================================================================== 27.8 Matching a line break Vim can find a pattern that includes a line break. You need to specify where the line break happens, because all items mentioned so far don't match a line break. To check for a line break in a specific place, use the "\n" item: > /one\ntwo This will match at a line that ends in "one" and the next line starts with "two". To match "one two" as well, you need to match a space or a line break. The item to use for it is "\_s": > /one\_stwo To allow any amount of white space: > /one\_s\+two This also matches when "one " is at the end of a line and " two" at the start of the next one. "\s" matches white space, "\_s" matches white space or a line break. Similarly, "\a" matches an alphabetic character, and "\_a" matches an alphabetic character or a line break. The other character classes and ranges can be modified in the same way by inserting a "_". Many other items can be made to match a line break by prepending "\_". For example: "\_." matches any character or a line break. Note: "\_." matches everything until the end of the file. Be careful with this, it can make a search command very slow. Another example is "\_[]", a character range that includes a line break: > /"\_[^"]" This finds a text in double quotes that may be split up in several lines. ============================================================================== 27.9 Examples Here are a few search patterns you might find useful. This shows how the items mentioned above can be combined. FINDING A CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE A sample license plate number is "1MGU103". It has one digit, three uppercase letters and three digits. Directly putting this into a search pattern: > /\d\u\u\u\d\d\d Another way is to specify that there are three digits and letters with a count: > /\d\u\{3}\d\{3} Using [] ranges instead: > /[0-9][A-Z]\{3}[0-9]\{3} Which one of these you should use? Whichever one you can remember. The simple way you can remember is much faster than the fancy way that you can't. If you can remember them all, then avoid the last one, because it's both more typing and slower to execute. FINDING AN IDENTIFIER In C programs (and many other computer languages) an identifier starts with a letter and further consists of letters and digits. Underscores can be used too. This can be found with: > /\<\h\w\> "\<" and "\>" are used to find only whole words. "\h" stands for "[A-Za-z_]" and "\w" for "[0-9A-Za-z_]". Note: "\<" and "\>" depend on the 'iskeyword' option. If it includes "-", for example, then "ident-" is not matched. In this situation use: > /\w\@<!\h\w\w\@! < This checks if "\w" does not match before or after the identifier. See \|/\@<!\| and \|/\@!\|. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_28.txt\| Folding Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	17.29 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_28.txt usr_28.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2008 Jun 14 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Folding Structured text can be separated in sections. And sections in sub-sections. Folding allows you to display a section as one line, providing an overview. This chapter explains the different ways this can be done. \|28.1\| What is folding? \|28.2\| Manual folding \|28.3\| Working with folds \|28.4\| Saving and restoring folds \|28.5\| Folding by indent \|28.6\| Folding with markers \|28.7\| Folding by syntax \|28.8\| Folding by expression \|28.9\| Folding unchanged lines \|28.10\| Which fold method to use? Next chapter: \|usr_29.txt\| Moving through programs Previous chapter: \|usr_27.txt\| Search commands and patterns Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 28.1 What is folding? Folding is used to show a range of lines in the buffer as a single line on the screen. Like a piece of paper which is folded to make it shorter: +------------------------+ \| line 1 \| \| line 2 \| \| line 3 \| \|_______________________ \| \ \ \________________________\ / folded lines / /________________________/ \| line 12 \| \| line 13 \| \| line 14 \| +------------------------+ The text is still in the buffer, unchanged. Only the way lines are displayed is affected by folding. The advantage of folding is that you can get a better overview of the structure of text, by folding lines of a section and replacing it with a line that indicates that there is a section. ============================================================================== 28.2 Manual folding Try it out: Position the cursor in a paragraph and type: > zfap You will see that the paragraph is replaced by a highlighted line. You have created a fold. \|zf\| is an operator and \|ap\| a text object selection. You can use the \|zf\| operator with any movement command to create a fold for the text that it moved over. \|zf\| also works in Visual mode. To view the text again, open the fold by typing: > zo And you can close the fold again with: > zc All the folding commands start with "z". With some fantasy, this looks like a folded piece of paper, seen from the side. The letter after the "z" has a mnemonic meaning to make it easier to remember the commands: zf F-old creation zo O-pen a fold zc C-lose a fold Folds can be nested: A region of text that contains folds can be folded again. For example, you can fold each paragraph in this section, and then fold all the sections in this chapter. Try it out. You will notice that opening the fold for the whole chapter will restore the nested folds as they were, some may be open and some may be closed. Suppose you have created several folds, and now want to view all the text. You could go to each fold and type "zo". To do this faster, use this command: > zr This will R-educe the folding. The opposite is: > zm This folds M-ore. You can repeat "zr" and "zm" to open and close nested folds of several levels. If you have nested several levels deep, you can open all of them with: > zR This R-educes folds until there are none left. And you can close all folds with: > zM This folds M-ore and M-ore. You can quickly disable the folding with the \|zn\| command. Then \|zN\| brings back the folding as it was. \|zi\| toggles between the two. This is a useful way of working: - create folds to get overview on your file - move around to where you want to do your work - do \|zi\| to look at the text and edit it - do \|zi\| again to go back to moving around More about manual folding in the reference manual: \|fold-manual\| ============================================================================== 28.3 Working with folds When some folds are closed, movement commands like "j" and "k" move over a fold like it was a single, empty line. This allows you to quickly move around over folded text. You can yank, delete and put folds as if it was a single line. This is very useful if you want to reorder functions in a program. First make sure that each fold contains a whole function (or a bit less) by selecting the right 'foldmethod'. Then delete the function with "dd", move the cursor and put it with "p". If some lines of the function are above or below the fold, you can use Visual selection: - put the cursor on the first line to be moved - hit "V" to start Visual mode - put the cursor on the last line to be moved - hit "d" to delete the selected lines. - move the cursor to the new position and "p"ut the lines there. It is sometimes difficult to see or remember where a fold is located, thus where a \|zo\| command would actually work. To see the defined folds: > :set foldcolumn=4 This will show a small column on the left of the window to indicate folds. A "+" is shown for a closed fold. A "-" is shown at the start of each open fold and "\|" at following lines of the fold. You can use the mouse to open a fold by clicking on the "+" in the foldcolumn. Clicking on the "-" or a "\|" below it will close an open fold. To open all folds at the cursor line use \|zO\|. To close all folds at the cursor line use \|zC\|. To delete a fold at the cursor line use \|zd\|. To delete all folds at the cursor line use \|zD\|. When in Insert mode, the fold at the cursor line is never closed. That allows you to see what you type! Folds are opened automatically when jumping around or moving the cursor left or right. For example, the "0" command opens the fold under the cursor (if 'foldopen' contains "hor", which is the default). The 'foldopen' option can be changed to open folds for specific commands. If you want the line under the cursor always to be open, do this: > :set foldopen=all Warning: You won't be able to move onto a closed fold then. You might want to use this only temporarily and then set it back to the default: > :set foldopen& You can make folds close automatically when you move out of it: > :set foldclose=all This will re-apply 'foldlevel' to all folds that don't contain the cursor. You have to try it out if you like how this feels. Use \|zm\| to fold more and \|zr\| to fold less (reduce folds). The folding is local to the window. This allows you to open two windows on the same buffer, one with folds and one without folds. Or one with all folds closed and one with all folds open. ============================================================================== 28.4 Saving and restoring folds When you abandon a file (starting to edit another one), the state of the folds is lost. If you come back to the same file later, all manually opened and closed folds are back to their default. When folds have been created manually, all folds are gone! To save the folds use the \|:mkview\| command: > :mkview This will store the settings and other things that influence the view on the file. You can change what is stored with the 'viewoptions' option. When you come back to the same file later, you can load the view again: > :loadview You can store up to ten views on one file. For example, to save the current setup as the third view and load the second view: > :mkview 3 :loadview 2 Note that when you insert or delete lines the views might become invalid. Also check out the 'viewdir' option, which specifies where the views are stored. You might want to delete old views now and then. ============================================================================== 28.5 Folding by indent Defining folds with \|zf\| is a lot of work. If your text is structured by giving lower level items a larger indent, you can use the indent folding method. This will create folds for every sequence of lines with the same indent. Lines with a larger indent will become nested folds. This works well with many programming languages. Try this by setting the 'foldmethod' option: > :set foldmethod=indent Then you can use the \|zm\| and \|zr\| commands to fold more and reduce folding. It's easy to see on this example text: This line is not indented This line is indented once This line is indented twice This line is indented twice This line is indented once This line is not indented This line is indented once This line is indented once Note that the relation between the amount of indent and the fold depth depends on the 'shiftwidth' option. Each 'shiftwidth' worth of indent adds one to the depth of the fold. This is called a fold level. When you use the \|zr\| and \|zm\| commands you actually increase or decrease the 'foldlevel' option. You could also set it directly: > :set foldlevel=3 This means that all folds with three times a 'shiftwidth' indent or more will be closed. The lower the foldlevel, the more folds will be closed. When 'foldlevel' is zero, all folds are closed. \|zM\| does set 'foldlevel' to zero. The opposite command \|zR\| sets 'foldlevel' to the deepest fold level that is present in the file. Thus there are two ways to open and close the folds: (A) By setting the fold level. This gives a very quick way of "zooming out" to view the structure of the text, move the cursor, and "zoom in" on the text again. (B) By using \|zo\| and \|zc\| commands to open or close specific folds. This allows opening only those folds that you want to be open, while other folds remain closed. This can be combined: You can first close most folds by using \|zm\| a few times and then open a specific fold with \|zo\|. Or open all folds with \|zR\| and then close specific folds with \|zc\|. But you cannot manually define folds when 'foldmethod' is "indent", as that would conflict with the relation between the indent and the fold level. More about folding by indent in the reference manual: \|fold-indent\| ============================================================================== 28.6 Folding with markers Markers in the text are used to specify the start and end of a fold region. This gives precise control over which lines are included in a fold. The disadvantage is that the text needs to be modified. Try it: > :set foldmethod=marker Example text, as it could appear in a C program: /* foobar () {{{ / int foobar() { / return a value {{{ / return 42; / }}} / } / }}} / Notice that the folded line will display the text before the marker. This is very useful to tell what the fold contains. It's quite annoying when the markers don't pair up correctly after moving some lines around. This can be avoided by using numbered markers. Example: / global variables {{{1 / int varA, varB; / functions {{{1 / / funcA() {{{2 / void funcA() {} / funcB() {{{2 / void funcB() {} / }}}1 / At every numbered marker a fold at the specified level begins. This will make any fold at a higher level stop here. You can just use numbered start markers to define all folds. Only when you want to explicitly stop a fold before another starts you need to add an end marker. More about folding with markers in the reference manual: \|fold-marker\| ============================================================================== 28.7* Folding by syntax For each language Vim uses a different syntax file. This defines the colors for various items in the file. If you are reading this in Vim, in a terminal that supports colors, the colors you see are made with the "help" syntax file. In the syntax files it is possible to add syntax items that have the "fold" argument. These define a fold region. This requires writing a syntax file and adding these items in it. That's not so easy to do. But once it's done, all folding happens automatically. Here we'll assume you are using an existing syntax file. Then there is nothing more to explain. You can open and close folds as explained above. The folds will be created and deleted automatically when you edit the file. More about folding by syntax in the reference manual: \|fold-syntax\| ============================================================================== 28.8 Folding by expression This is similar to folding by indent, but instead of using the indent of a line a user function is called to compute the fold level of a line. You can use this for text where something in the text indicates which lines belong together. An example is an e-mail message where the quoted text is indicated by a ">" before the line. To fold these quotes use this: > :set foldmethod=expr :set foldexpr=strlen(substitute(substitute(getline(v:lnum),'\\s','',\"g\"),'[^>].','','')) You can try it out on this text: > quoted text he wrote > quoted text he wrote > > double quoted text I wrote > > double quoted text I wrote Explanation for the 'foldexpr' used in the example (inside out): getline(v:lnum) gets the current line substitute(...,'\\s','','g') removes all white space from the line substitute(...,'[^>].','','') removes everything after leading '>'s strlen(...) counts the length of the string, which is the number of '>'s found Note that a backslash must be inserted before every space, double quote and backslash for the ":set" command. If this confuses you, do > :set foldexpr to check the actual resulting value. To correct a complicated expression, use the command-line completion: > :set foldexpr=<Tab> Where <Tab> is a real Tab. Vim will fill in the previous value, which you can then edit. When the expression gets more complicated you should put it in a function and set 'foldexpr' to call that function. More about folding by expression in the reference manual: \|fold-expr\| ============================================================================== 28.9 Folding unchanged lines This is useful when you set the 'diff' option in the same window. The \|vimdiff\| command does this for you. Example: > :setlocal diff foldmethod=diff scrollbind nowrap foldlevel=1 Do this in every window that shows a different version of the same file. You will clearly see the differences between the files, while the text that didn't change is folded. For more details see \|fold-diff\|. ============================================================================== 28.10 Which fold method to use? All these possibilities make you wonder which method you should choose. Unfortunately, there is no golden rule. Here are some hints. If there is a syntax file with folding for the language you are editing, that is probably the best choice. If there isn't one, you might try to write it. This requires a good knowledge of search patterns. It's not easy, but when it's working you will not have to define folds manually. Typing commands to manually fold regions can be used for unstructured text. Then use the \|:mkview\| command to save and restore your folds. The marker method requires you to change the file. If you are sharing the files with other people or you have to meet company standards, you might not be allowed to add them. The main advantage of markers is that you can put them exactly where you want them. That avoids that a few lines are missed when you cut and paste folds. And you can add a comment about what is contained in the fold. Folding by indent is something that works in many files, but not always very well. Use it when you can't use one of the other methods. However, it is very useful for outlining. Then you specifically use one 'shiftwidth' for each nesting level. Folding with expressions can make folds in almost any structured text. It is quite simple to specify, especially if the start and end of a fold can easily be recognized. If you use the "expr" method to define folds, but they are not exactly how you want them, you could switch to the "manual" method. This will not remove the defined folds. Then you can delete or add folds manually. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_29.txt\| Moving through programs Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	15.64 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_29.txt usr_29.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2016 Feb 27 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Moving through programs The creator of Vim is a computer programmer. It's no surprise that Vim contains many features to aid in writing programs. Jump around to find where identifiers are defined and used. Preview declarations in a separate window. There is more in the next chapter. \|29.1\| Using tags \|29.2\| The preview window \|29.3\| Moving through a program \|29.4\| Finding global identifiers \|29.5\| Finding local identifiers Next chapter: \|usr_30.txt\| Editing programs Previous chapter: \|usr_28.txt\| Folding Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 29.1 Using tags What is a tag? It is a location where an identifier is defined. An example is a function definition in a C or C++ program. A list of tags is kept in a tags file. This can be used by Vim to directly jump from any place to the tag, the place where an identifier is defined. To generate the tags file for all C files in the current directory, use the following command: > ctags .c "ctags" is a separate program. Most Unix systems already have it installed. If you do not have it yet, you can find Exuberant ctags here: http://ctags.sf.net ~ Now when you are in Vim and you want to go to a function definition, you can jump to it by using the following command: > :tag startlist This command will find the function "startlist" even if it is in another file. The CTRL-] command jumps to the tag of the word that is under the cursor. This makes it easy to explore a tangle of C code. Suppose, for example, that you are in the function "write_block". You can see that it calls "write_line". But what does "write_line" do? By placing the cursor on the call to "write_line" and pressing CTRL-], you jump to the definition of this function. The "write_line" function calls "write_char". You need to figure out what it does. So you position the cursor over the call to "write_char" and press CTRL-]. Now you are at the definition of "write_char". +-------------------------------------+ \|void write_block(char s; int cnt) \| \|{ \| \| int i; \| \| for (i = 0; i < cnt; ++i) \| \| write_line(s[i]); \| \|} \| \| +-----------\|-------------------------+ \| CTRL-] \| \| +----------------------------+ +--> \|void write_line(char s) \| \|{ \| \| while (s != 0) \| \| write_char(s++); \| \|} \| \| +--------\|-------------------+ \| CTRL-] \| \| +------------------------------------+ +--> \|void write_char(char c) \| \|{ \| \| putchar((int)(unsigned char)c); \| \|} \| +------------------------------------+ The ":tags" command shows the list of tags that you traversed through: :tags # TO tag FROM line in file/text ~ 1 1 write_line 8 write_block.c ~ 2 1 write_char 7 write_line.c ~ > ~ > Now to go back. The CTRL-T command goes to the preceding tag. In the example above you get back to the "write_line" function, in the call to "write_char". This command takes a count argument that indicates how many tags to jump back. You have gone forward, and now back. Let's go forward again. The following command goes to the tag on top of the list: > :tag You can prefix it with a count and jump forward that many tags. For example: ":3tag". CTRL-T also can be preceded with a count. These commands thus allow you to go down a call tree with CTRL-] and back up again with CTRL-T. Use ":tags" to find out where you are. SPLIT WINDOWS The ":tag" command replaces the file in the current window with the one containing the new function. But suppose you want to see not only the old function but also the new one? You can split the window using the ":split" command followed by the ":tag" command. Vim has a shorthand command that does both: > :stag tagname To split the current window and jump to the tag under the cursor use this command: > CTRL-W ] If a count is specified, the new window will be that many lines high. MORE TAGS FILES When you have files in many directories, you can create a tags file in each of them. Vim will then only be able to jump to tags within that directory. To find more tags files, set the 'tags' option to include all the relevant tags files. Example: > :set tags=./tags,./../tags,.//tags This finds a tags file in the same directory as the current file, one directory level higher and in all subdirectories. This is quite a number of tags files, but it may still not be enough. For example, when editing a file in "~/proj/src", you will not find the tags file "~/proj/sub/tags". For this situation Vim offers to search a whole directory tree for tags files. Example: > :set tags=~/proj//tags ONE TAGS FILE When Vim has to search many places for tags files, you can hear the disk rattling. It may get a bit slow. In that case it's better to spend this time while generating one big tags file. You might do this overnight. This requires the Exuberant ctags program, mentioned above. It offers an argument to search a whole directory tree: > cd ~/proj ctags -R . The nice thing about this is that Exuberant ctags recognizes various file types. Thus this doesn't work just for C and C++ programs, also for Eiffel and even Vim scripts. See the ctags documentation to tune this. Now you only need to tell Vim where your big tags file is: > :set tags=~/proj/tags MULTIPLE MATCHES When a function is defined multiple times (or a method in several classes), the ":tag" command will jump to the first one. If there is a match in the current file, that one is used first. You can now jump to other matches for the same tag with: > :tnext Repeat this to find further matches. If there are many, you can select which one to jump to: > :tselect tagname Vim will present you with a list of choices: # pri kind tag file ~ 1 F f mch_init os_amiga.c ~ mch_init() ~ 2 F f mch_init os_mac.c ~ mch_init() ~ 3 F f mch_init os_msdos.c ~ mch_init(void) ~ 4 F f mch_init os_riscos.c ~ mch_init() ~ Enter nr of choice (<CR> to abort): ~ You can now enter the number (in the first column) of the match that you would like to jump to. The information in the other columns give you a good idea of where the match is defined. To move between the matching tags, these commands can be used: :tfirst go to first match :[count]tprevious go to [count] previous match :[count]tnext go to [count] next match :tlast go to last match If [count] is omitted then one is used. GUESSING TAG NAMES Command line completion is a good way to avoid typing a long tag name. Just type the first bit and press <Tab>: > :tag write_<Tab> You will get the first match. If it's not the one you want, press <Tab> until you find the right one. Sometimes you only know part of the name of a function. Or you have many tags that start with the same string, but end differently. Then you can tell Vim to use a pattern to find the tag. Suppose you want to jump to a tag that contains "block". First type this: > :tag /block Now use command line completion: press <Tab>. Vim will find all tags that contain "block" and use the first match. The "/" before a tag name tells Vim that what follows is not a literal tag name, but a pattern. You can use all the items for search patterns here. For example, suppose you want to select a tag that starts with "write_": > :tselect /^write_ The "^" specifies that the tag starts with "write_". Otherwise it would also be found halfway a tag name. Similarly "$" at the end makes sure the pattern matches until the end of a tag. A TAGS BROWSER Since CTRL-] takes you to the definition of the identifier under the cursor, you can use a list of identifier names as a table of contents. Here is an example. First create a list of identifiers (this requires Exuberant ctags): > ctags --c-types=f -f functions .c Now start Vim without a file, and edit this file in Vim, in a vertically split window: > vim :vsplit functions The window contains a list of all the functions. There is some more stuff, but you can ignore that. Do ":setlocal ts=99" to clean it up a bit. In this window, define a mapping: > :nnoremap <buffer> <CR> 0ye<C-W>w:tag <C-R>"<CR> Move the cursor to the line that contains the function you want to go to. Now press <Enter>. Vim will go to the other window and jump to the selected function. RELATED ITEMS To make case in tag names be ignored, you can set 'ignorecase' while leaving 'tagcase' as "followic", or set 'tagcase' to "ignore". The 'tagbsearch' option tells if the tags file is sorted or not. The default is to assume a sorted tags file, which makes a tags search a lot faster, but doesn't work if the tags file isn't sorted. The 'taglength' option can be used to tell Vim the number of significant characters in a tag. Cscope is a free program. It does not only find places where an identifier is declared, but also where it is used. See \|cscope\|. ============================================================================== 29.2 The preview window When you edit code that contains a function call, you need to use the correct arguments. To know what values to pass you can look at how the function is defined. The tags mechanism works very well for this. Preferably the definition is displayed in another window. For this the preview window can be used. To open a preview window to display the function "write_char": > :ptag write_char Vim will open a window, and jumps to the tag "write_char". Then it takes you back to the original position. Thus you can continue typing without the need to use a CTRL-W command. If the name of a function appears in the text, you can get its definition in the preview window with: > CTRL-W } There is a script that automatically displays the text where the word under the cursor was defined. See \|CursorHold-example\|. To close the preview window use this command: > :pclose To edit a specific file in the preview window, use ":pedit". This can be useful to edit a header file, for example: > :pedit defs.h Finally, ":psearch" can be used to find a word in the current file and any included files and display the match in the preview window. This is especially useful when using library functions, for which you do not have a tags file. Example: > :psearch popen This will show the "stdio.h" file in the preview window, with the function prototype for popen(): FILE popen __P((const char , const char )); ~ You can specify the height of the preview window, when it is opened, with the 'previewheight' option. ============================================================================== 29.3* Moving through a program Since a program is structured, Vim can recognize items in it. Specific commands can be used to move around. C programs often contain constructs like this: #ifdef USE_POPEN ~ fd = popen("ls", "r") ~ #else ~ fd = fopen("tmp", "w") ~ #endif ~ But then much longer, and possibly nested. Position the cursor on the "#ifdef" and press %. Vim will jump to the "#else". Pressing % again takes you to the "#endif". Another % takes you to the "#ifdef" again. When the construct is nested, Vim will find the matching items. This is a good way to check if you didn't forget an "#endif". When you are somewhere inside a "#if" - "#endif", you can jump to the start of it with: > [# If you are not after a "#if" or "#ifdef" Vim will beep. To jump forward to the next "#else" or "#endif" use: > ]# These two commands skip any "#if" - "#endif" blocks that they encounter. Example: #if defined(HAS_INC_H) ~ a = a + inc(); ~ # ifdef USE_THEME ~ a += 3; ~ # endif ~ set_width(a); ~ With the cursor in the last line, "[#" moves to the first line. The "#ifdef" - "#endif" block in the middle is skipped. MOVING IN CODE BLOCKS In C code blocks are enclosed in {}. These can get pretty long. To move to the start of the outer block use the "[[" command. Use "][" to find the end. This assumes that the "{" and "}" are in the first column. The "[{" command moves to the start of the current block. It skips over pairs of {} at the same level. "]}" jumps to the end. An overview: function(int a) +-> { \| if (a) \| +-> { [[ \| \| for (;;) --+ \| \| +-> { \| \| [{ \| \| foo(32); \| --+ \| \| [{ \| if (bar(a)) --+ \| ]} \| +-- \| +-- break; \| ]} \| \| \| } <-+ \| \| ][ +-- foobar(a) \| \| } <-+ \| } <-+ When writing C++ or Java, the outer {} block is for the class. The next level of {} is for a method. When somewhere inside a class use "[m" to find the previous start of a method. "]m" finds the next start of a method. Additionally, "[]" moves backward to the end of a function and "]]" moves forward to the start of the next function. The end of a function is defined by a "}" in the first column. int func1(void) { return 1; +----------> } \| [] \| int func2(void) \| +-> { \| [[ \| if (flag) start +-- +-- return flag; \| ][ \| return 2; \| +-> } ]] \| \| int func3(void) +----------> { return 3; } Don't forget you can also use "%" to move between matching (), {} and []. That also works when they are many lines apart. MOVING IN BRACES The "[(" and "])" commands work similar to "[{" and "]}", except that they work on () pairs instead of {} pairs. > [( < <-------------------------------- <------- if (a == b && (c == d \|\| (e > f)) && x > y) ~ --------------> --------------------------------> > ]) MOVING IN COMMENTS To move back to the start of a comment use "[/". Move forward to the end of a comment with "]/". This only works for /* - / comments. +-> +-> / \| [/ \| * A comment about --+ [/ \| +-- * wonderful life. \| ]/ \| / <-+ \| +-- foo = bar 3; --+ \| ]/ /* a short comment / <-+ ============================================================================== 29.4* Finding global identifiers You are editing a C program and wonder if a variable is declared as "int" or "unsigned". A quick way to find this is with the "[I" command. Suppose the cursor is on the word "column". Type: > [I Vim will list the matching lines it can find. Not only in the current file, but also in all included files (and files included in them, etc.). The result looks like this: structs.h ~ 1: 29 unsigned column; /* column number / ~ The advantage over using tags or the preview window is that included files are searched. In most cases this results in the right declaration to be found. Also when the tags file is out of date. Also when you don't have tags for the included files. However, a few things must be right for "[I" to do its work. First of all, the 'include' option must specify how a file is included. The default value works for C and C++. For other languages you will have to change it. LOCATING INCLUDED FILES Vim will find included files in the places specified with the 'path' option. If a directory is missing, some include files will not be found. You can discover this with this command: > :checkpath It will list the include files that could not be found. Also files included by the files that could be found. An example of the output: --- Included files not found in path --- ~ <io.h> ~ vim.h --> ~ <functions.h> ~ <clib/exec_protos.h> ~ The "io.h" file is included by the current file and can't be found. "vim.h" can be found, thus ":checkpath" goes into this file and checks what it includes. The "functions.h" and "clib/exec_protos.h" files, included by "vim.h" are not found. Note: Vim is not a compiler. It does not recognize "#ifdef" statements. This means every "#include" statement is used, also when it comes after "#if NEVER". To fix the files that could not be found, add a directory to the 'path' option. A good place to find out about this is the Makefile. Look out for lines that contain "-I" items, like "-I/usr/local/X11". To add this directory use: > :set path+=/usr/local/X11 When there are many subdirectories, you can use the "" wildcard. Example: > :set path+=/usr//include This would find files in "/usr/local/include" as well as "/usr/X11/include". When working on a project with a whole nested tree of included files, the "" items is useful. This will search down in all subdirectories. Example: > :set path+=/projects/invent//include This will find files in the directories: /projects/invent/include ~ /projects/invent/main/include ~ /projects/invent/main/os/include ~ etc. There are even more possibilities. Check out the 'path' option for info. If you want to see which included files are actually found, use this command: > :checkpath! You will get a (very long) list of included files, the files they include, and so on. To shorten the list a bit, Vim shows "(Already listed)" for files that were found before and doesn't list the included files in there again. JUMPING TO A MATCH "[I" produces a list with only one line of text. When you want to have a closer look at the first item, you can jump to that line with the command: > [<Tab> You can also use "[ CTRL-I", since CTRL-I is the same as pressing <Tab>. The list that "[I" produces has a number at the start of each line. When you want to jump to another item than the first one, type the number first: > 3[<Tab> Will jump to the third item in the list. Remember that you can use CTRL-O to jump back to where you started from. RELATED COMMANDS [i only lists the first match ]I only lists items below the cursor ]i only lists the first item below the cursor FINDING DEFINED IDENTIFIERS The "[I" command finds any identifier. To find only macros, defined with "#define" use: > [D Again, this searches in included files. The 'define' option specifies what a line looks like that defines the items for "[D". You could change it to make it work with other languages than C or C++. The commands related to "[D" are: [d only lists the first match ]D only lists items below the cursor ]d only lists the first item below the cursor ============================================================================== 29.5* Finding local identifiers The "[I" command searches included files. To search in the current file only, and jump to the first place where the word under the cursor is used: > gD Hint: Goto Definition. This command is very useful to find a variable or function that was declared locally ("static", in C terms). Example (cursor on "counter"): +-> static int counter = 0; \| \| int get_counter(void) gD \| { \| ++counter; +-- return counter; } To restrict the search even further, and look only in the current function, use this command: > gd This will go back to the start of the current function and find the first occurrence of the word under the cursor. Actually, it searches backwards to an empty line above a "{" in the first column. From there it searches forward for the identifier. Example (cursor on "idx"): int find_entry(char *name) { +-> int idx; \| gd \| for (idx = 0; idx < table_len; ++idx) \| if (strcmp(table[idx].name, name) == 0) +-- return idx; } ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_30.txt\| Editing programs Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	19.65 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_30.txt usr_30.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2007 Nov 10 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Editing programs Vim has various commands that aid in writing computer programs. Compile a program and directly jump to reported errors. Automatically set the indent for many languages and format comments. \|30.1\| Compiling \|30.2\| Indenting C files \|30.3\| Automatic indenting \|30.4\| Other indenting \|30.5\| Tabs and spaces \|30.6\| Formatting comments Next chapter: \|usr_31.txt\| Exploiting the GUI Previous chapter: \|usr_29.txt\| Moving through programs Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 30.1 Compiling Vim has a set of so called "quickfix" commands. They enable you to compile a program from within Vim and then go through the errors generated and fix them (hopefully). You can then recompile and fix any new errors that are found until finally your program compiles without any error. The following command runs the program "make" (supplying it with any argument you give) and captures the results: > :make {arguments} If errors were generated, they are captured and the editor positions you where the first error occurred. Take a look at an example ":make" session. (Typical :make sessions generate far more errors and fewer stupid ones.) After typing ":make" the screen looks like this: :!make \| &tee /tmp/vim215953.err ~ gcc -g -Wall -o prog main.c sub.c ~ main.c: In function 'main': ~ main.c:6: too many arguments to function 'do_sub' ~ main.c: At top level: ~ main.c:10: parse error before '}' ~ make: * [prog] Error 1 ~ 2 returned ~ "main.c" 11L, 111C ~ (3 of 6): too many arguments to function 'do_sub' ~ Press ENTER or type command to continue ~ From this you can see that you have errors in the file "main.c". When you press <Enter>, Vim displays the file "main.c", with the cursor positioned on line 6, the first line with an error. You did not need to specify the file or the line number, Vim knew where to go by looking in the error messages. +---------------------------------------------------+ \|int main() \| \|{ \| \| int i=3; \| cursor -> \| do_sub("foo"); \| \| ++i; \| \| return (0); \| \|} \| \|} \| \| ~ \| \|(3 of 12): too many arguments to function 'do_sub' \| +---------------------------------------------------+ The following command goes to where the next error occurs: > :cnext Vim jumps to line 10, the last line in the file, where there is an extra '}'. When there is not enough room, Vim will shorten the error message. To see the whole message use: > :cc You can get an overview of all the error messages with the ":clist" command. The output looks like this: > :clist < 3 main.c: 6:too many arguments to function 'do_sub' ~ 5 main.c: 10:parse error before '}' ~ Only the lines where Vim recognized a file name and line number are listed here. It assumes those are the interesting lines and the rest is just boring messages. However, sometimes unrecognized lines do contain something you want to see. Output from the linker, for example, about an undefined function. To see all the messages add a "!" to the command: > :clist! < 1 gcc -g -Wall -o prog main.c sub.c ~ 2 main.c: In function 'main': ~ 3 main.c:6: too many arguments to function 'do_sub' ~ 4 main.c: At top level: ~ 5 main.c:10: parse error before '}' ~ 6 make: * [prog] Error 1 ~ Vim will highlight the current error. To go back to the previous error, use: > :cprevious Other commands to move around in the error list: :cfirst to first error :clast to last error :cc 3 to error nr 3 USING ANOTHER COMPILER The name of the program to run when the ":make" command is executed is defined by the 'makeprg' option. Usually this is set to "make", but Visual C++ users should set this to "nmake" by executing the following command: > :set makeprg=nmake You can also include arguments in this option. Special characters need to be escaped with a backslash. Example: > :set makeprg=nmake\ -f\ project.mak You can include special Vim keywords in the command specification. The % character expands to the name of the current file. So if you execute the command: > :set makeprg=make\ %:S When you are editing main.c, then ":make" executes the following command: > make main.c This is not too useful, so you will refine the command a little and use the :r (root) modifier: > :set makeprg=make\ %:r:S.o Now the command executed is as follows: > make main.o More about these modifiers here: \|filename-modifiers\|. OLD ERROR LISTS Suppose you ":make" a program. There is a warning message in one file and an error message in another. You fix the error and use ":make" again to check if it was really fixed. Now you want to look at the warning message. It doesn't show up in the last error list, since the file with the warning wasn't compiled again. You can go back to the previous error list with: > :colder Then use ":clist" and ":cc {nr}" to jump to the place with the warning. To go forward to the next error list: > :cnewer Vim remembers ten error lists. SWITCHING COMPILERS You have to tell Vim what format the error messages are that your compiler produces. This is done with the 'errorformat' option. The syntax of this option is quite complicated and it can be made to fit almost any compiler. You can find the explanation here: \|errorformat\|. You might be using various different compilers. Setting the 'makeprg' option, and especially the 'errorformat' each time is not easy. Vim offers a simple method for this. For example, to switch to using the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler: > :compiler msvc This will find the Vim script for the "msvc" compiler and set the appropriate options. You can write your own compiler files. See \|write-compiler-plugin\|. OUTPUT REDIRECTION The ":make" command redirects the output of the executed program to an error file. How this works depends on various things, such as the 'shell'. If your ":make" command doesn't capture the output, check the 'makeef' and 'shellpipe' options. The 'shellquote' and 'shellxquote' options might also matter. In case you can't get ":make" to redirect the file for you, an alternative is to compile the program in another window and redirect the output into a file. Then have Vim read this file with: > :cfile {filename} Jumping to errors will work like with the ":make" command. ============================================================================== 30.2 Indenting C style text A program is much easier to understand when the lines have been properly indented. Vim offers various ways to make this less work. For C or C style programs like Java or C++, set the 'cindent' option. Vim knows a lot about C programs and will try very hard to automatically set the indent for you. Set the 'shiftwidth' option to the amount of spaces you want for a deeper level. Four spaces will work fine. One ":set" command will do it: > :set cindent shiftwidth=4 With this option enabled, when you type something such as "if (x)", the next line will automatically be indented an additional level. if (flag) Automatic indent ---> do_the_work(); Automatic unindent <-- if (other_flag) { Automatic indent ---> do_file(); keep indent do_some_more(); Automatic unindent <-- } When you type something in curly braces ({}), the text will be indented at the start and unindented at the end. The unindenting will happen after typing the '}', since Vim can't guess what you are going to type. One side effect of automatic indentation is that it helps you catch errors in your code early. When you type a } to finish a function, only to find that the automatic indentation gives it more indent than what you expected, there is probably a } missing. Use the "%" command to find out which { matches the } you typed. A missing ) and ; also cause extra indent. Thus if you get more white space than you would expect, check the preceding lines. When you have code that is badly formatted, or you inserted and deleted lines, you need to re-indent the lines. The "=" operator does this. The simplest form is: > == This indents the current line. Like with all operators, there are three ways to use it. In Visual mode "=" indents the selected lines. A useful text object is "a{". This selects the current {} block. Thus, to re-indent the code block the cursor is in: > =a{ I you have really badly indented code, you can re-indent the whole file with: > gg=G However, don't do this in files that have been carefully indented manually. The automatic indenting does a good job, but in some situations you might want to overrule it. SETTING INDENT STYLE Different people have different styles of indentation. By default Vim does a pretty good job of indenting in a way that 90% of programmers do. There are different styles, however; so if you want to, you can customize the indentation style with the 'cinoptions' option. By default 'cinoptions' is empty and Vim uses the default style. You can add various items where you want something different. For example, to make curly braces be placed like this: if (flag) ~ { ~ i = 8; ~ j = 0; ~ } ~ Use this command: > :set cinoptions+={2 There are many of these items. See \|cinoptions-values\|. ============================================================================== 30.3 Automatic indenting You don't want to switch on the 'cindent' option manually every time you edit a C file. This is how you make it work automatically: > :filetype indent on Actually, this does a lot more than switching on 'cindent' for C files. First of all, it enables detecting the type of a file. That's the same as what is used for syntax highlighting. When the filetype is known, Vim will search for an indent file for this type of file. The Vim distribution includes a number of these for various programming languages. This indent file will then prepare for automatic indenting specifically for this file. If you don't like the automatic indenting, you can switch it off again: > :filetype indent off If you don't like the indenting for one specific type of file, this is how you avoid it. Create a file with just this one line: > :let b:did_indent = 1 Now you need to write this in a file with a specific name: {directory}/indent/{filetype}.vim The {filetype} is the name of the file type, such as "cpp" or "java". You can see the exact name that Vim detected with this command: > :set filetype In this file the output is: filetype=help ~ Thus you would use "help" for {filetype}. For the {directory} part you need to use your runtime directory. Look at the output of this command: > set runtimepath Now use the first item, the name before the first comma. Thus if the output looks like this: runtimepath=~/.vim,/usr/local/share/vim/vim60/runtime,~/.vim/after ~ You use "~/.vim" for {directory}. Then the resulting file name is: ~/.vim/indent/help.vim ~ Instead of switching the indenting off, you could write your own indent file. How to do that is explained here: \|indent-expression\|. ============================================================================== 30.4 Other indenting The simplest form of automatic indenting is with the 'autoindent' option. It uses the indent from the previous line. A bit smarter is the 'smartindent' option. This is useful for languages where no indent file is available. 'smartindent' is not as smart as 'cindent', but smarter than 'autoindent'. With 'smartindent' set, an extra level of indentation is added for each { and removed for each }. An extra level of indentation will also be added for any of the words in the 'cinwords' option. Lines that begin with # are treated specially: all indentation is removed. This is done so that preprocessor directives will all start in column 1. The indentation is restored for the next line. CORRECTING INDENTS When you are using 'autoindent' or 'smartindent' to get the indent of the previous line, there will be many times when you need to add or remove one 'shiftwidth' worth of indent. A quick way to do this is using the CTRL-D and CTRL-T commands in Insert mode. For example, you are typing a shell script that is supposed to look like this: if test -n a; then ~ echo a ~ echo "-------" ~ fi ~ Start off by setting these options: > :set autoindent shiftwidth=3 You start by typing the first line, <Enter> and the start of the second line: if test -n a; then ~ echo ~ Now you see that you need an extra indent. Type CTRL-T. The result: if test -n a; then ~ echo ~ The CTRL-T command, in Insert mode, adds one 'shiftwidth' to the indent, no matter where in the line you are. You continue typing the second line, <Enter> and the third line. This time the indent is OK. Then <Enter> and the last line. Now you have this: if test -n a; then ~ echo a ~ echo "-------" ~ fi ~ To remove the superfluous indent in the last line press CTRL-D. This deletes one 'shiftwidth' worth of indent, no matter where you are in the line. When you are in Normal mode, you can use the ">>" and "<<" commands to shift lines. ">" and "<" are operators, thus you have the usual three ways to specify the lines you want to indent. A useful combination is: > >i{ This adds one indent to the current block of lines, inside {}. The { and } lines themselves are left unmodified. ">a{" includes them. In this example the cursor is on "printf": original text after ">i{" after ">a{" if (flag) if (flag) if (flag) ~ { { { ~ printf("yes"); printf("yes"); printf("yes"); ~ flag = 0; flag = 0; flag = 0; ~ } } } ~ ============================================================================== 30.5 Tabs and spaces 'tabstop' is set to eight by default. Although you can change it, you quickly run into trouble later. Other programs won't know what tabstop value you used. They probably use the default value of eight, and your text suddenly looks very different. Also, most printers use a fixed tabstop value of eight. Thus it's best to keep 'tabstop' alone. (If you edit a file which was written with a different tabstop setting, see \|25.3\| for how to fix that.) For indenting lines in a program, using a multiple of eight spaces makes you quickly run into the right border of the window. Using a single space doesn't provide enough visual difference. Many people prefer to use four spaces, a good compromise. Since a <Tab> is eight spaces and you want to use an indent of four spaces, you can't use a <Tab> character to make your indent. There are two ways to handle this: 1. Use a mix of <Tab> and space characters. Since a <Tab> takes the place of eight spaces, you have fewer characters in your file. Inserting a <Tab> is quicker than eight spaces. Backspacing works faster as well. 2. Use spaces only. This avoids the trouble with programs that use a different tabstop value. Fortunately, Vim supports both methods quite well. SPACES AND TABS If you are using a combination of tabs and spaces, you just edit normally. The Vim defaults do a fine job of handling things. You can make life a little easier by setting the 'softtabstop' option. This option tells Vim to make the <Tab> key look and feel as if tabs were set at the value of 'softtabstop', but actually use a combination of tabs and spaces. After you execute the following command, every time you press the <Tab> key the cursor moves to the next 4-column boundary: > :set softtabstop=4 When you start in the first column and press <Tab>, you get 4 spaces inserted in your text. The second time, Vim takes out the 4 spaces and puts in a <Tab> (thus taking you to column 8). Thus Vim uses as many <Tab>s as possible, and then fills up with spaces. When backspacing it works the other way around. A <BS> will always delete the amount specified with 'softtabstop'. Then <Tab>s are used as many as possible and spaces to fill the gap. The following shows what happens pressing <Tab> a few times, and then using <BS>. A "." stands for a space and "------->" for a <Tab>. type result ~ <Tab> .... <Tab><Tab> -------> <Tab><Tab><Tab> ------->.... <Tab><Tab><Tab><BS> -------> <Tab><Tab><Tab><BS><BS> .... An alternative is to use the 'smarttab' option. When it's set, Vim uses 'shiftwidth' for a <Tab> typed in the indent of a line, and a real <Tab> when typed after the first non-blank character. However, <BS> doesn't work like with 'softtabstop'. JUST SPACES If you want absolutely no tabs in your file, you can set the 'expandtab' option: > :set expandtab When this option is set, the <Tab> key inserts a series of spaces. Thus you get the same amount of white space as if a <Tab> character was inserted, but there isn't a real <Tab> character in your file. The backspace key will delete each space by itself. Thus after typing one <Tab> you have to press the <BS> key up to eight times to undo it. If you are in the indent, pressing CTRL-D will be a lot quicker. CHANGING TABS IN SPACES (AND BACK) Setting 'expandtab' does not affect any existing tabs. In other words, any tabs in the document remain tabs. If you want to convert tabs to spaces, use the ":retab" command. Use these commands: > :set expandtab :%retab Now Vim will have changed all indents to use spaces instead of tabs. However, all tabs that come after a non-blank character are kept. If you want these to be converted as well, add a !: > :%retab! This is a little bit dangerous, because it can also change tabs inside a string. To check if these exist, you could use this: > /"[^"\t]\t[^"]" It's recommended not to use hard tabs inside a string. Replace them with "\t" to avoid trouble. The other way around works just as well: > :set noexpandtab :%retab! ============================================================================== 30.6 Formatting comments One of the great things about Vim is that it understands comments. You can ask Vim to format a comment and it will do the right thing. Suppose, for example, that you have the following comment: /* ~ * This is a test ~ * of the text formatting. ~ / ~ You then ask Vim to format it by positioning the cursor at the start of the comment and type: > gq]/ "gq" is the operator to format text. "]/" is the motion that takes you to the end of a comment. The result is: / ~ * This is a test of the text formatting. ~ / ~ Notice that Vim properly handled the beginning of each line. An alternative is to select the text that is to be formatted in Visual mode and type "gq". To add a new line to the comment, position the cursor on the middle line and press "o". The result looks like this: / ~ * This is a test of the text formatting. ~ * ~ / ~ Vim has automatically inserted a star and a space for you. Now you can type the comment text. When it gets longer than 'textwidth', Vim will break the line. Again, the star is inserted automatically: / ~ * This is a test of the text formatting. ~ * Typing a lot of text here will make Vim ~ * break ~ / ~ For this to work some flags must be present in 'formatoptions': r insert the star when typing <Enter> in Insert mode o insert the star when using "o" or "O" in Normal mode c break comment text according to 'textwidth' See \|fo-table\| for more flags. DEFINING A COMMENT The 'comments' option defines what a comment looks like. Vim distinguishes between a single-line comment and a comment that has a different start, end and middle part. Many single-line comments start with a specific character. In C++ // is used, in Makefiles #, in Vim scripts ". For example, to make Vim understand C++ comments: > :set comments=:// The colon separates the flags of an item from the text by which the comment is recognized. The general form of an item in 'comments' is: {flags}:{text} The {flags} part can be empty, as in this case. Several of these items can be concatenated, separated by commas. This allows recognizing different types of comments at the same time. For example, let's edit an e-mail message. When replying, the text that others wrote is preceded with ">" and "!" characters. This command would work: > :set comments=n:>,n:! There are two items, one for comments starting with ">" and one for comments that start with "!". Both use the flag "n". This means that these comments nest. Thus a line starting with ">" may have another comment after the ">". This allows formatting a message like this: > ! Did you see that site? ~ > ! It looks really great. ~ > I don't like it. The ~ > colors are terrible. ~ What is the URL of that ~ site? ~ Try setting 'textwidth' to a different value, e.g., 80, and format the text by Visually selecting it and typing "gq". The result is: > ! Did you see that site? It looks really great. ~ > I don't like it. The colors are terrible. ~ What is the URL of that site? ~ You will notice that Vim did not move text from one type of comment to another. The "I" in the second line would have fit at the end of the first line, but since that line starts with "> !" and the second line with ">", Vim knows that this is a different kind of comment. A THREE PART COMMENT A C comment starts with "/", has "" in the middle and "/" at the end. The entry in 'comments' for this looks like this: > :set comments=s1:/,mb:,ex:/ The start is defined with "s1:/". The "s" indicates the start of a three-piece comment. The colon separates the flags from the text by which the comment is recognized: "/". There is one flag: "1". This tells Vim that the middle part has an offset of one space. The middle part "mb:" starts with "m", which indicates it is a middle part. The "b" flag means that a blank must follow the text. Otherwise Vim would consider text like "pointer" also to be the middle of a comment. The end part "ex:/" has the "e" for identification. The "x" flag has a special meaning. It means that after Vim automatically inserted a star, typing / will remove the extra space. For more details see \|format-comments\|. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_31.txt\| Exploiting the GUI Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	22.13 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_31.txt usr_31.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Jul 28 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Exploiting the GUI Vim works well in a terminal, but the GUI has a few extra items. A file browser can be used for commands that use a file. A dialog to make a choice between alternatives. Use keyboard shortcuts to access menu items quickly. \|31.1\| The file browser \|31.2\| Confirmation \|31.3\| Menu shortcuts \|31.4\| Vim window position and size \|31.5\| Various Next chapter: \|usr_32.txt\| The undo tree Previous chapter: \|usr_30.txt\| Editing programs Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 31.1 The file browser When using the File/Open... menu you get a file browser. This makes it easier to find the file you want to edit. But what if you want to split a window to edit another file? There is no menu entry for this. You could first use Window/Split and then File/Open..., but that's more work. Since you are typing most commands in Vim, opening the file browser with a typed command is possible as well. To make the split command use the file browser, prepend "browse": > :browse split Select a file and then the ":split" command will be executed with it. If you cancel the file dialog nothing happens, the window isn't split. You can also specify a file name argument. This is used to tell the file browser where to start. Example: > :browse split /etc The file browser will pop up, starting in the directory "/etc". The ":browse" command can be prepended to just about any command that opens a file. If no directory is specified, Vim will decide where to start the file browser. By default it uses the same directory as the last time. Thus when you used ":browse split" and selected a file in "/usr/local/share", the next time you use a ":browse" it will start in "/usr/local/share" again. This can be changed with the 'browsedir' option. It can have one of three values: last Use the last directory browsed (default) buffer Use the same directory as the current buffer current use the current directory For example, when you are in the directory "/usr", editing the file "/usr/local/share/readme", then the command: > :set browsedir=buffer :browse edit Will start the browser in "/usr/local/share". Alternatively: > :set browsedir=current :browse edit Will start the browser in "/usr". Note: To avoid using the mouse, most file browsers offer using key presses to navigate. Since this is different for every system, it is not explained here. Vim uses a standard browser when possible, your system documentation should contain an explanation on the keyboard shortcuts somewhere. When you are not using the GUI version, you could use the file explorer window to select files like in a file browser. However, this doesn't work for the ":browse" command. See \|netrw-browse\|. ============================================================================== 31.2 Confirmation Vim protects you from accidentally overwriting a file and other ways to lose changes. If you do something that might be a bad thing to do, Vim produces an error message and suggests appending ! if you really want to do it. To avoid retyping the command with the !, you can make Vim give you a dialog. You can then press "OK" or "Cancel" to tell Vim what you want. For example, you are editing a file and made changes to it. You start editing another file with: > :confirm edit foo.txt Vim will pop up a dialog that looks something like this: +-----------------------------------+ \| \| \| ? Save changes to "bar.txt"? \| \| \| \| YES NO CANCEL \| +-----------------------------------+ Now make your choice. If you do want to save the changes, select "YES". If you want to lose the changes for ever: "NO". If you forgot what you were doing and want to check what really changed use "CANCEL". You will be back in the same file, with the changes still there. Just like ":browse", the ":confirm" command can be prepended to most commands that edit another file. They can also be combined: > :confirm browse edit This will produce a dialog when the current buffer was changed. Then it will pop up a file browser to select the file to edit. Note: In the dialog you can use the keyboard to select the choice. Typically the <Tab> key and the cursor keys change the choice. Pressing <Enter> selects the choice. This depends on the system though. When you are not using the GUI, the ":confirm" command works as well. Instead of popping up a dialog, Vim will print the message at the bottom of the Vim window and ask you to press a key to make a choice. > :confirm edit main.c < Save changes to "Untitled"? ~ [Y]es, (N)o, (C)ancel: ~ You can now press the single key for the choice. You don't have to press <Enter>, unlike other typing on the command line. ============================================================================== 31.3 Menu shortcuts The keyboard is used for all Vim commands. The menus provide a simple way to select commands, without knowing what they are called. But you have to move your hand from the keyboard and grab the mouse. Menus can often be selected with keys as well. This depends on your system, but most often it works this way. Use the <Alt> key in combination with the underlined letter of a menu. For example, <A-w> (<Alt> and w) pops up the Window menu. In the Window menu, the "split" item has the p underlined. To select it, let go of the <Alt> key and press p. After the first selection of a menu with the <Alt> key, you can use the cursor keys to move through the menus. <Right> selects a submenu and <left> closes it. <Esc> also closes a menu. <Enter> selects a menu item. There is a conflict between using the <Alt> key to select menu items, and using <Alt> key combinations for mappings. The 'winaltkeys' option tells Vim what it should do with the <Alt> key. The default value "menu" is the smart choice: If the key combination is a menu shortcut it can't be mapped. All other keys are available for mapping. The value "no" doesn't use any <Alt> keys for the menus. Thus you must use the mouse for the menus, and all <Alt> keys can be mapped. The value "yes" means that Vim will use any <Alt> keys for the menus. Some <Alt> key combinations may also do other things than selecting a menu. ============================================================================== 31.4 Vim window position and size To see the current Vim window position on the screen use: > :winpos This will only work in the GUI. The output may look like this: Window position: X 272, Y 103 ~ The position is given in screen pixels. Now you can use the numbers to move Vim somewhere else. For example, to move it to the left a hundred pixels: > :winpos 172 103 < Note: There may be a small offset between the reported position and where the window moves. This is because of the border around the window. This is added by the window manager. You can use this command in your startup script to position the window at a specific position. The size of the Vim window is computed in characters. Thus this depends on the size of the font being used. You can see the current size with this command: > :set lines columns To change the size set the 'lines' and/or 'columns' options to a new value: > :set lines=50 :set columns=80 Obtaining the size works in a terminal just like in the GUI. Setting the size is not possible in most terminals. You can start the X-Windows version of gvim with an argument to specify the size and position of the window: > gvim -geometry {width}x{height}+{x-offset}+{y-offset} {width} and {height} are in characters, {x-offset} and {y-offset} are in pixels. Example: > gvim -geometry 80x25+100+300 ============================================================================== 31.5 Various You can use gvim to edit an e-mail message. In your e-mail program you must select gvim to be the editor for messages. When you try that, you will see that it doesn't work: The mail program thinks that editing is finished, while gvim is still running! What happens is that gvim disconnects from the shell it was started in. That is fine when you start gvim in a terminal, so that you can do other work in that terminal. But when you really want to wait for gvim to finish, you must prevent it from disconnecting. The "-f" argument does this: > gvim -f file.txt The "-f" stands for foreground. Now Vim will block the shell it was started in until you finish editing and exit. DELAYED START OF THE GUI On Unix it's possible to first start Vim in a terminal. That's useful if you do various tasks in the same shell. If you are editing a file and decide you want to use the GUI after all, you can start it with: > :gui Vim will open the GUI window and no longer use the terminal. You can continue using the terminal for something else. The "-f" argument is used here to run the GUI in the foreground. You can also use ":gui -f". THE GVIM STARTUP FILE When gvim starts, it reads the gvimrc file. That's similar to the vimrc file used when starting Vim. The gvimrc file can be used for settings and commands that are only to be used when the GUI is going to be started. For example, you can set the 'lines' option to set a different window size: > :set lines=55 You don't want to do this in a terminal, since its size is fixed (except for an xterm that supports resizing). The gvimrc file is searched for in the same locations as the vimrc file. Normally its name is "~/.gvimrc" for Unix and "$VIM/_gvimrc" for MS-Windows. The $MYGVIMRC environment variable is set to it, thus you can use this command to edit the file, if you have one: > :edit $MYGVIMRC < If for some reason you don't want to use the normal gvimrc file, you can specify another one with the "-U" argument: > gvim -U thisrc ... That allows starting gvim for different kinds of editing. You could set another font size, for example. To completely skip reading a gvimrc file: > gvim -U NONE ... ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_32.txt\| The undo tree Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	10.16 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_32.txt usr_32.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2010 Jul 20 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar The undo tree Vim provides multi-level undo. If you undo a few changes and then make a new change you create a branch in the undo tree. This text is about moving through the branches. \|32.1\| Undo up to a file write \|32.2\| Numbering changes \|32.3\| Jumping around the tree \|32.4\| Time travelling Next chapter: \|usr_40.txt\| Make new commands Previous chapter: \|usr_31.txt\| Exploiting the GUI Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 32.1 Undo up to a file write Sometimes you make several changes, and then discover you want to go back to when you have last written the file. You can do that with this command: > :earlier 1f The "f" stands for "file" here. You can repeat this command to go further back in the past. Or use a count different from 1 to go back faster. If you go back too far, go forward again with: > :later 1f Note that these commands really work in time sequence. This matters if you made changes after undoing some changes. It's explained in the next section. Also note that we are talking about text writes here. For writing the undo information in a file see \|undo-persistence\|. ============================================================================== 32.2 Numbering changes In section \|02.5\| we only discussed one line of undo/redo. But it is also possible to branch off. This happens when you undo a few changes and then make a new change. The new changes become a branch in the undo tree. Let's start with the text "one". The first change to make is to append " too". And then move to the first 'o' and change it into 'w'. We then have two changes, numbered 1 and 2, and three states of the text: one ~ \| change 1 \| one too ~ \| change 2 \| one two ~ If we now undo one change, back to "one too", and change "one" to "me" we create a branch in the undo tree: one ~ \| change 1 \| one too ~ / \ change 2 change 3 \| \| one two me too ~ You can now use the \|u\| command to undo. If you do this twice you get to "one". Use \|CTRL-R\| to redo, and you will go to "one too". One more \|CTRL-R\| takes you to "me too". Thus undo and redo go up and down in the tree, using the branch that was last used. What matters here is the order in which the changes are made. Undo and redo are not considered changes in this context. After each change you have a new state of the text. Note that only the changes are numbered, the text shown in the tree above has no identifier. They are mostly referred to by the number of the change above it. But sometimes by the number of one of the changes below it, especially when moving up in the tree, so that you know which change was just undone. ============================================================================== 32.3 Jumping around the tree So how do you get to "one two" now? You can use this command: > :undo 2 The text is now "one two", you are below change 2. You can use the \|:undo\| command to jump to below any change in the tree. Now make another change: change "one" to "not": one ~ \| change 1 \| one too ~ / \ change 2 change 3 \| \| one two me too ~ \| change 4 \| not two ~ Now you change your mind and want to go back to "me too". Use the \|g-\| command. This moves back in time. Thus it doesn't walk the tree upwards or downwards, but goes to the change made before. You can repeat \|g-\| and you will see the text change: me too ~ one two ~ one too ~ one ~ Use \|g+\| to move forward in time: one ~ one too ~ one two ~ me too ~ not two ~ Using \|:undo\| is useful if you know what change you want to jump to. \|g-\| and \|g+\| are useful if you don't know exactly what the change number is. You can type a count before \|g-\| and \|g+\| to repeat them. ============================================================================== 32.4 Time travelling When you have been working on text for a while the tree grows to become big. Then you may want to go to the text of some minutes ago. To see what branches there are in the undo tree use this command: > :undolist < number changes time ~ 3 2 16 seconds ago 4 3 5 seconds ago Here you can see the number of the leaves in each branch and when the change was made. Assuming we are below change 4, at "not two", you can go back ten seconds with this command: > :earlier 10s Depending on how much time you took for the changes you end up at a certain position in the tree. The \|:earlier\| command argument can be "m" for minutes, "h" for hours and "d" for days. To go all the way back use a big number: > :earlier 100d To travel forward in time again use the \|:later\| command: > :later 1m The arguments are "s", "m" and "h", just like with \|:earlier\|. If you want even more details, or want to manipulate the information, you can use the \|undotree()\| function. To see what it returns: > :echo undotree() ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_40.txt\| Make new commands Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	5.25 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_40.txt usr_40.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Sep 02 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Make new commands Vim is an extensible editor. You can take a sequence of commands you use often and turn it into a new command. Or redefine an existing command. Autocommands make it possible to execute commands automatically. \|40.1\| Key mapping \|40.2\| Defining command-line commands \|40.3\| Autocommands Next chapter: \|usr_41.txt\| Write a Vim script Previous chapter: \|usr_32.txt\| The undo tree Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 40.1 Key mapping A simple mapping was explained in section \|05.3\|. The principle is that one sequence of key strokes is translated into another sequence of key strokes. This is a simple, yet powerful mechanism. The simplest form is that one key is mapped to a sequence of keys. Since the function keys, except <F1>, have no predefined meaning in Vim, these are good choices to map. Example: > :map <F2> GoDate: <Esc>:read !date<CR>kJ This shows how three modes are used. After going to the last line with "G", the "o" command opens a new line and starts Insert mode. The text "Date: " is inserted and <Esc> takes you out of insert mode. Notice the use of special keys inside <>. This is called angle bracket notation. You type these as separate characters, not by pressing the key itself. This makes the mappings better readable and you can copy and paste the text without problems. The ":" character takes Vim to the command line. The ":read !date" command reads the output from the "date" command and appends it below the current line. The <CR> is required to execute the ":read" command. At this point of execution the text looks like this: Date: ~ Fri Jun 15 12:54:34 CEST 2001 ~ Now "kJ" moves the cursor up and joins the lines together. To decide which key or keys you use for mapping, see \|map-which-keys\|. MAPPING AND MODES The ":map" command defines remapping for keys in Normal mode. You can also define mappings for other modes. For example, ":imap" applies to Insert mode. You can use it to insert a date below the cursor: > :imap <F2> <CR>Date: <Esc>:read !date<CR>kJ It looks a lot like the mapping for <F2> in Normal mode, only the start is different. The <F2> mapping for Normal mode is still there. Thus you can map the same key differently for each mode. Notice that, although this mapping starts in Insert mode, it ends in Normal mode. If you want it to continue in Insert mode, append an "a" to the mapping. Here is an overview of map commands and in which mode they work: :map Normal, Visual and Operator-pending :vmap Visual :nmap Normal :omap Operator-pending :map! Insert and Command-line :imap Insert :cmap Command-line Operator-pending mode is when you typed an operator character, such as "d" or "y", and you are expected to type the motion command or a text object. Thus when you type "dw", the "w" is entered in operator-pending mode. Suppose that you want to define <F7> so that the command d<F7> deletes a C program block (text enclosed in curly braces, {}). Similarly y<F7> would yank the program block into the unnamed register. Therefore, what you need to do is to define <F7> to select the current program block. You can do this with the following command: > :omap <F7> a{ This causes <F7> to perform a select block "a{" in operator-pending mode, just like you typed it. This mapping is useful if typing a { on your keyboard is a bit difficult. LISTING MAPPINGS To see the currently defined mappings, use ":map" without arguments. Or one of the variants that include the mode in which they work. The output could look like this: _g :call MyGrep(1)<CR> ~ v <F2> :s/^/> /<CR>:noh<CR>`` ~ n <F2> :.,$s/^/> /<CR>:noh<CR>`` ~ <xHome> <Home> <xEnd> <End> The first column of the list shows in which mode the mapping is effective. This is "n" for Normal mode, "i" for Insert mode, etc. A blank is used for a mapping defined with ":map", thus effective in both Normal and Visual mode. One useful purpose of listing the mapping is to check if special keys in <> form have been recognized (this only works when color is supported). For example, when <Esc> is displayed in color, it stands for the escape character. When it has the same color as the other text, it is five characters. REMAPPING The result of a mapping is inspected for other mappings in it. For example, the mappings for <F2> above could be shortened to: > :map <F2> G<F3> :imap <F2> <Esc><F3> :map <F3> oDate: <Esc>:read !date<CR>kJ For Normal mode <F2> is mapped to go to the last line, and then behave like <F3> was pressed. In Insert mode <F2> stops Insert mode with <Esc> and then also uses <F3>. Then <F3> is mapped to do the actual work. Suppose you hardly ever use Ex mode, and want to use the "Q" command to format text (this was so in old versions of Vim). This mapping will do it: > :map Q gq But, in rare cases you need to use Ex mode anyway. Let's map "gQ" to Q, so that you can still go to Ex mode: > :map gQ Q What happens now is that when you type "gQ" it is mapped to "Q". So far so good. But then "Q" is mapped to "gq", thus typing "gQ" results in "gq", and you don't get to Ex mode at all. To avoid keys to be mapped again, use the ":noremap" command: > :noremap gQ Q Now Vim knows that the "Q" is not to be inspected for mappings that apply to it. There is a similar command for every mode: :noremap Normal, Visual and Operator-pending :vnoremap Visual :nnoremap Normal :onoremap Operator-pending :noremap! Insert and Command-line :inoremap Insert :cnoremap Command-line RECURSIVE MAPPING When a mapping triggers itself, it will run forever. This can be used to repeat an action an unlimited number of times. For example, you have a list of files that contain a version number in the first line. You edit these files with "vim .txt". You are now editing the first file. Define this mapping: > :map ,, :s/5.1/5.2/<CR>:wnext<CR>,, Now you type ",,". This triggers the mapping. It replaces "5.1" with "5.2" in the first line. Then it does a ":wnext" to write the file and edit the next one. The mapping ends in ",,". This triggers the same mapping again, thus doing the substitution, etc. This continues until there is an error. In this case it could be a file where the substitute command doesn't find a match for "5.1". You can then make a change to insert "5.1" and continue by typing ",," again. Or the ":wnext" fails, because you are in the last file in the list. When a mapping runs into an error halfway, the rest of the mapping is discarded. CTRL-C interrupts the mapping (CTRL-Break on MS-Windows). DELETE A MAPPING To remove a mapping use the ":unmap" command. Again, the mode the unmapping applies to depends on the command used: :unmap Normal, Visual and Operator-pending :vunmap Visual :nunmap Normal :ounmap Operator-pending :unmap! Insert and Command-line :iunmap Insert :cunmap Command-line There is a trick to define a mapping that works in Normal and Operator-pending mode, but not in Visual mode. First define it for all three modes, then delete it for Visual mode: > :map <C-A> /---><CR> :vunmap <C-A> Notice that the five characters "<C-A>" stand for the single key CTRL-A. To remove all mappings use the \|:mapclear\| command. You can guess the variations for different modes by now. Be careful with this command, it can't be undone. SPECIAL CHARACTERS The ":map" command can be followed by another command. A \| character separates the two commands. This also means that a \| character can't be used inside a map command. To include one, use <Bar> (five characters). Example: > :map <F8> :write <Bar> !checkin %:S<CR> The same problem applies to the ":unmap" command, with the addition that you have to watch out for trailing white space. These two commands are different: > :unmap a \| unmap b :unmap a\| unmap b The first command tries to unmap "a ", with a trailing space. When using a space inside a mapping, use <Space> (seven characters): > :map <Space> W This makes the spacebar move a blank-separated word forward. It is not possible to put a comment directly after a mapping, because the " character is considered to be part of the mapping. You can use \|", this starts a new, empty command with a comment. Example: > :map <Space> W\| " Use spacebar to move forward a word MAPPINGS AND ABBREVIATIONS Abbreviations are a lot like Insert mode mappings. The arguments are handled in the same way. The main difference is the way they are triggered. An abbreviation is triggered by typing a non-word character after the word. A mapping is triggered when typing the last character. Another difference is that the characters you type for an abbreviation are inserted in the text while you type them. When the abbreviation is triggered these characters are deleted and replaced by what the abbreviation produces. When typing the characters for a mapping, nothing is inserted until you type the last character that triggers it. If the 'showcmd' option is set, the typed characters are displayed in the last line of the Vim window. An exception is when a mapping is ambiguous. Suppose you have done two mappings: > :imap aa foo :imap aaa bar Now, when you type "aa", Vim doesn't know if it should apply the first or the second mapping. It waits for another character to be typed. If it is an "a", the second mapping is applied and results in "bar". If it is a space, for example, the first mapping is applied, resulting in "foo", and then the space is inserted. ADDITIONALLY... The <script> keyword can be used to make a mapping local to a script. See \|:map-<script>\|. The <buffer> keyword can be used to make a mapping local to a specific buffer. See \|:map-<buffer>\| The <unique> keyword can be used to make defining a new mapping fail when it already exists. Otherwise a new mapping simply overwrites the old one. See \|:map-<unique>\|. To make a key do nothing, map it to <Nop> (five characters). This will make the <F7> key do nothing at all: > :map <F7> <Nop>\| map! <F7> <Nop> There must be no space after <Nop>. ============================================================================== 40.2* Defining command-line commands The Vim editor enables you to define your own commands. You execute these commands just like any other Command-line mode command. To define a command, use the ":command" command, as follows: > :command DeleteFirst 1delete Now when you execute the command ":DeleteFirst" Vim executes ":1delete", which deletes the first line. Note: User-defined commands must start with a capital letter. You cannot use ":X", ":Next" and ":Print". The underscore cannot be used! You can use digits, but this is discouraged. To list the user-defined commands, execute the following command: > :command Just like with the builtin commands, the user defined commands can be abbreviated. You need to type just enough to distinguish the command from another. Command line completion can be used to get the full name. NUMBER OF ARGUMENTS User-defined commands can take a series of arguments. The number of arguments must be specified by the -nargs option. For instance, the example :DeleteFirst command takes no arguments, so you could have defined it as follows: > :command -nargs=0 DeleteFirst 1delete However, because zero arguments is the default, you do not need to add "-nargs=0". The other values of -nargs are as follows: -nargs=0 No arguments -nargs=1 One argument -nargs=* Any number of arguments -nargs=? Zero or one argument -nargs=+ One or more arguments USING THE ARGUMENTS Inside the command definition, the arguments are represented by the <args> keyword. For example: > :command -nargs=+ Say :echo "<args>" Now when you type > :Say Hello World Vim echoes "Hello World". However, if you add a double quote, it won't work. For example: > :Say he said "hello" To get special characters turned into a string, properly escaped to use as an expression, use "<q-args>": > :command -nargs=+ Say :echo <q-args> Now the above ":Say" command will result in this to be executed: > :echo "he said \"hello\"" The <f-args> keyword contains the same information as the <args> keyword, except in a format suitable for use as function call arguments. For example: > :command -nargs=* DoIt :call AFunction(<f-args>) :DoIt a b c Executes the following command: > :call AFunction("a", "b", "c") LINE RANGE Some commands take a range as their argument. To tell Vim that you are defining such a command, you need to specify a -range option. The values for this option are as follows: -range Range is allowed; default is the current line. -range=% Range is allowed; default is the whole file. -range={count} Range is allowed; the last number in it is used as a single number whose default is {count}. When a range is specified, the keywords <line1> and <line2> get the values of the first and last line in the range. For example, the following command defines the SaveIt command, which writes out the specified range to the file "save_file": > :command -range=% SaveIt :<line1>,<line2>write! save_file OTHER OPTIONS Some of the other options and keywords are as follows: -count={number} The command can take a count whose default is {number}. The resulting count can be used through the <count> keyword. -bang You can use a !. If present, using <bang> will result in a !. -register You can specify a register. (The default is the unnamed register.) The register specification is available as <reg> (a.k.a. <register>). -complete={type} Type of command-line completion used. See \|:command-completion\| for the list of possible values. -bar The command can be followed by \| and another command, or " and a comment. -buffer The command is only available for the current buffer. Finally, you have the <lt> keyword. It stands for the character <. Use this to escape the special meaning of the <> items mentioned. REDEFINING AND DELETING To redefine the same command use the ! argument: > :command -nargs=+ Say :echo "<args>" :command! -nargs=+ Say :echo <q-args> To delete a user command use ":delcommand". It takes a single argument, which is the name of the command. Example: > :delcommand SaveIt To delete all the user commands: > :comclear Careful, this can't be undone! More details about all this in the reference manual: \|user-commands\|. ============================================================================== 40.3 Autocommands An autocommand is a command that is executed automatically in response to some event, such as a file being read or written or a buffer change. Through the use of autocommands you can train Vim to edit compressed files, for example. That is used in the \|gzip\| plugin. Autocommands are very powerful. Use them with care and they will help you avoid typing many commands. Use them carelessly and they will cause a lot of trouble. Suppose you want to replace a datestamp on the end of a file every time it is written. First you define a function: > :function DateInsert() : $delete : read !date :endfunction You want this function to be called each time, just before a buffer is written to a file. This will make that happen: > :autocmd BufWritePre * call DateInsert() "BufWritePre" is the event for which this autocommand is triggered: Just before (pre) writing a buffer to a file. The "" is a pattern to match with the file name. In this case it matches all files. With this command enabled, when you do a ":write", Vim checks for any matching BufWritePre autocommands and executes them, and then it performs the ":write". The general form of the :autocmd command is as follows: > :autocmd [group] {events} {file-pattern} [++nested] {command} The [group] name is optional. It is used in managing and calling the commands (more on this later). The {events} parameter is a list of events (comma separated) that trigger the command. {file-pattern} is a filename, usually with wildcards. For example, using ".txt" makes the autocommand be used for all files whose name end in ".txt". The optional [++nested] flag allows for nesting of autocommands (see below), and finally, {command} is the command to be executed. EVENTS One of the most useful events is BufReadPost. It is triggered after a new file is being edited. It is commonly used to set option values. For example, you know that ".gsm" files are GNU assembly language. To get the syntax file right, define this autocommand: > :autocmd BufReadPost .gsm set filetype=asm If Vim is able to detect the type of file, it will set the 'filetype' option for you. This triggers the Filetype event. Use this to do something when a certain type of file is edited. For example, to load a list of abbreviations for text files: > :autocmd Filetype text source ~/.vim/abbrevs.vim When starting to edit a new file, you could make Vim insert a skeleton: > :autocmd BufNewFile .[ch] 0read ~/skeletons/skel.c See \|autocmd-events\| for a complete list of events. PATTERNS The {file-pattern} argument can actually be a comma-separated list of file patterns. For example: ".c,.h" matches files ending in ".c" and ".h". The usual file wildcards can be used. Here is a summary of the most often used ones: Match any character any number of times ? Match any character once [abc] Match the character a, b or c . Matches a dot a{b,c} Matches "ab" and "ac" When the pattern includes a slash (/) Vim will compare directory names. Without the slash only the last part of a file name is used. For example, ".txt" matches "/home/biep/readme.txt". The pattern "/home/biep/" would also match it. But "home/foo/.txt" wouldn't. When including a slash, Vim matches the pattern against both the full path of the file ("/home/biep/readme.txt") and the relative path (e.g., "biep/readme.txt"). Note: When working on a system that uses a backslash as file separator, such as MS-Windows, you still use forward slashes in autocommands. This makes it easier to write the pattern, since a backslash has a special meaning. It also makes the autocommands portable. DELETING To delete an autocommand, use the same command as what it was defined with, but leave out the {command} at the end and use a !. Example: > :autocmd! FileWritePre This will delete all autocommands for the "FileWritePre" event that use the "" pattern. LISTING To list all the currently defined autocommands, use this: > :autocmd The list can be very long, especially when filetype detection is used. To list only part of the commands, specify the group, event and/or pattern. For example, to list all BufNewFile autocommands: > :autocmd BufNewFile To list all autocommands for the pattern ".c": > :autocmd * .c Using "" for the event will list all the events. To list all autocommands for the cprograms group: > :autocmd cprograms GROUPS The {group} item, used when defining an autocommand, groups related autocommands together. This can be used to delete all the autocommands in a certain group, for example. When defining several autocommands for a certain group, use the ":augroup" command. For example, let's define autocommands for C programs: > :augroup cprograms : autocmd BufReadPost .c,.h :set sw=4 sts=4 : autocmd BufReadPost .cpp :set sw=3 sts=3 :augroup END This will do the same as: > :autocmd cprograms BufReadPost .c,.h :set sw=4 sts=4 :autocmd cprograms BufReadPost .cpp :set sw=3 sts=3 To delete all autocommands in the "cprograms" group: > :autocmd! cprograms NESTING Generally, commands executed as the result of an autocommand event will not trigger any new events. If you read a file in response to a FileChangedShell event, it will not trigger the autocommands that would set the syntax, for example. To make the events triggered, add the "nested" argument: > :autocmd FileChangedShell * ++nested edit EXECUTING AUTOCOMMANDS It is possible to trigger an autocommand by pretending an event has occurred. This is useful to have one autocommand trigger another one. Example: > :autocmd BufReadPost .new execute "doautocmd BufReadPost " . expand("<afile>:r") This defines an autocommand that is triggered when a new file has been edited. The file name must end in ".new". The ":execute" command uses expression evaluation to form a new command and execute it. When editing the file "tryout.c.new" the executed command will be: > :doautocmd BufReadPost tryout.c The expand() function takes the "<afile>" argument, which stands for the file name the autocommand was executed for, and takes the root of the file name with ":r". ":doautocmd" executes on the current buffer. The ":doautoall" command works like "doautocmd" except it executes on all the buffers. USING NORMAL MODE COMMANDS The commands executed by an autocommand are Command-line commands. If you want to use a Normal mode command, the ":normal" command can be used. Example: > :autocmd BufReadPost .log normal G This will make the cursor jump to the last line of .log files when you start to edit it. Using the ":normal" command is a bit tricky. First of all, make sure its argument is a complete command, including all the arguments. When you use "i" to go to Insert mode, there must also be a <Esc> to leave Insert mode again. If you use a "/" to start a search pattern, there must be a <CR> to execute it. The ":normal" command uses all the text after it as commands. Thus there can be no \| and another command following. To work around this, put the ":normal" command inside an ":execute" command. This also makes it possible to pass unprintable characters in a convenient way. Example: > :autocmd BufReadPost .chg execute "normal ONew entry:\<Esc>" \| \ 1read !date This also shows the use of a backslash to break a long command into more lines. This can be used in Vim scripts (not at the command line). When you want the autocommand do something complicated, which involves jumping around in the file and then returning to the original position, you may want to restore the view on the file. See \|restore-position\| for an example. IGNORING EVENTS At times, you will not want to trigger an autocommand. The 'eventignore' option contains a list of events that will be totally ignored. For example, the following causes events for entering and leaving a window to be ignored: > :set eventignore=WinEnter,WinLeave To ignore all events, use the following command: > :set eventignore=all To set it back to the normal behavior, make 'eventignore' empty: > :set eventignore= ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_41.txt\| Write a Vim script Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	22.65 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

There are a lot of them, thus this is a long chapter. \|41.1\| Introduction \|41.2\| Variables \|41.3\| Expressions \|41.4\| Conditionals \|41.5\| Executing an expression \|41.6\| Using functions \|41.7\| Defining a function \|41.8\| Lists and Dictionaries \|41.9\| Exceptions \|41.10\| Various remarks \|41.11\| Writing a plugin \|41.12\| Writing a filetype plugin \|41.13\| Writing a compiler plugin \|41.14\| Writing a plugin that loads quickly \|41.15\| Writing library scripts \|41.16\| Distributing Vim scripts Next chapter: \|usr_42.txt\| Add new menus Previous chapter: \|usr_40.txt\| Make new commands Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 41.1 Introduction vim-script-intro script Your first experience with Vim scripts is the vimrc file. Vim reads it when it starts up and executes the commands. You can set options to values you prefer. And you can use any colon command in it (commands that start with a ":"; these are sometimes referred to as Ex commands or command-line commands). Syntax files are also Vim scripts. As are files that set options for a specific file type. A complicated macro can be defined by a separate Vim script file. You can think of other uses yourself. If you are familiar with Python, you can find a comparison between Python and Vim script here, with pointers to other documents: https://gist.github.com/yegappan/16d964a37ead0979b05e655aa036cad0 And if you are familiar with JavaScript: https://w0rp.com/blog/post/vim-script-for-the-javascripter/ Let's start with a simple example: > :let i = 1 :while i < 5 : echo "count is" i : let i += 1 :endwhile < Note: The ":" characters are not really needed here. You only need to use them when you type a command. In a Vim script file they can be left out. We will use them here anyway to make clear these are colon commands and make them stand out from Normal mode commands. Note: You can try out the examples by yanking the lines from the text here and executing them with :@" The output of the example code is: count is 1 ~ count is 2 ~ count is 3 ~ count is 4 ~ In the first line the ":let" command assigns a value to a variable. The generic form is: > :let {variable} = {expression} In this case the variable name is "i" and the expression is a simple value, the number one. The ":while" command starts a loop. The generic form is: > :while {condition} : {statements} :endwhile The statements until the matching ":endwhile" are executed for as long as the condition is true. The condition used here is the expression "i < 5". This is true when the variable i is smaller than five. Note: If you happen to write a while loop that keeps on running, you can interrupt it by pressing CTRL-C (CTRL-Break on MS-Windows). The ":echo" command prints its arguments. In this case the string "count is" and the value of the variable i. Since i is one, this will print: count is 1 ~ Then there is the ":let i += 1" command. This does the same thing as ":let i = i + 1". This adds one to the variable i and assigns the new value to the same variable. Note: this is how it works in legacy Vim script, which is what we discuss in this file. In Vim9 script it's a bit different, see \|usr_46.txt\|. The example was given to explain the commands, but would you really want to make such a loop, it can be written much more compact: > :for i in range(1, 4) : echo "count is" i :endfor We won't explain how \|:for\| and \|range()\| work until later. Follow the links if you are impatient. FOUR KINDS OF NUMBERS Numbers can be decimal, hexadecimal, octal or binary. A hexadecimal number starts with "0x" or "0X". For example "0x1f" is decimal 31. An octal number starts with a zero. "017" is decimal 15. A binary number starts with "0b" or "0B". For example "0b101" is decimal 5. Careful: don't put a zero before a decimal number, it will be interpreted as an octal number! The ":echo" command always prints decimal numbers. Example: > :echo 0x7f 0o36 < 127 30 ~ A number is made negative with a minus sign. This also works for hexadecimal, octal and binary numbers. A minus sign is also used for subtraction. Compare this with the previous example: > :echo 0x7f -0o36 < 97 ~ White space in an expression is ignored. However, it's recommended to use it for separating items, to make the expression easier to read. For example, to avoid the confusion with a negative number above, put a space between the minus sign and the following number: > :echo 0x7f - 0o36 ============================================================================== 41.2 Variables A variable name consists of ASCII letters, digits and the underscore. It cannot start with a digit. Valid variable names are: counter _aap3 very_long_variable_name_with_underscores FuncLength LENGTH Invalid names are "foo+bar" and "6var". These variables are global. To see a list of currently defined variables use this command: > :let You can use global variables everywhere. This also means that when the variable "count" is used in one script file, it might also be used in another file. This leads to confusion at least, and real problems at worst. To avoid this, you can use a variable local to a script file by prepending "s:". For example, one script contains this code: > :let s:count = 1 :while s:count < 5 : source other.vim : let s:count += 1 :endwhile Since "s:count" is local to this script, you can be sure that sourcing the "other.vim" script will not change this variable. If "other.vim" also uses an "s:count" variable, it will be a different copy, local to that script. More about script-local variables here: \|script-variable\|. There are more kinds of variables, see \|internal-variables\|. The most often used ones are: b:name variable local to a buffer w:name variable local to a window g:name global variable (also in a function) v:name variable predefined by Vim DELETING VARIABLES Variables take up memory and show up in the output of the ":let" command. To delete a variable use the ":unlet" command. Example: > :unlet s:count This deletes the script-local variable "s:count" to free up the memory it uses. If you are not sure if the variable exists, and don't want an error message when it doesn't, append !: > :unlet! s:count When a script finishes, the local variables used there will not be automatically freed. The next time the script executes, it can still use the old value. Example: > :if !exists("s:call_count") : let s:call_count = 0 :endif :let s:call_count = s:call_count + 1 :echo "called" s:call_count "times" The "exists()" function checks if a variable has already been defined. Its argument is the name of the variable you want to check. Not the variable itself! If you would do this: > :if !exists(s:call_count) Then the value of s:call_count will be used as the name of the variable that exists() checks. That's not what you want. The exclamation mark ! negates a value. When the value was true, it becomes false. When it was false, it becomes true. You can read it as "not". Thus "if !exists()" can be read as "if not exists()". What Vim calls true is anything that is not zero. Zero is false. Note: Vim automatically converts a string to a number when it is looking for a number. When using a string that doesn't start with a digit the resulting number is zero. Thus look out for this: > :if "true" < The "true" will be interpreted as a zero, thus as false! STRING VARIABLES AND CONSTANTS So far only numbers were used for the variable value. Strings can be used as well. Numbers and strings are the basic types of variables that Vim supports. The type is dynamic, it is set each time when assigning a value to the variable with ":let". More about types in \|41.8\|. To assign a string value to a variable, you need to use a string constant. There are two types of these. First the string in double quotes: > :let name = "peter" :echo name < peter ~ If you want to include a double quote inside the string, put a backslash in front of it: > :let name = "\"peter\"" :echo name < "peter" ~ To avoid the need for a backslash, you can use a string in single quotes: > :let name = '"peter"' :echo name < "peter" ~ Inside a single-quote string all the characters are as they are. Only the single quote itself is special: you need to use two to get one. A backslash is taken literally, thus you can't use it to change the meaning of the character after it. In double-quote strings it is possible to use special characters. Here are a few useful ones: \t <Tab> \n <NL>, line break \r <CR>, <Enter> \e <Esc> \b <BS>, backspace \" " \\ \, backslash \<Esc> <Esc> \<C-W> CTRL-W The last two are just examples. The "\<name>" form can be used to include the special key "name". See \|expr-quote\| for the full list of special items in a string. ============================================================================== 41.3 Expressions Vim has a rich, yet simple way to handle expressions. You can read the definition here: \|expression-syntax\|. Here we will show the most common items. The numbers, strings and variables mentioned above are expressions by themselves. Thus everywhere an expression is expected, you can use a number, string or variable. Other basic items in an expression are: $NAME environment variable &name option @r register Examples: > :echo "The value of 'tabstop' is" &ts :echo "Your home directory is" $HOME :if @a > 5 The &name form can be used to save an option value, set it to a new value, do something and restore the old value. Example: > :let save_ic = &ic :set noic :/The Start/,$delete :let &ic = save_ic This makes sure the "The Start" pattern is used with the 'ignorecase' option off. Still, it keeps the value that the user had set. (Another way to do this would be to add "\C" to the pattern, see \|/\C\|.) MATHEMATICS It becomes more interesting if we combine these basic items. Let's start with mathematics on numbers: a + b add a - b subtract a * b multiply a / b divide a % b modulo The usual precedence is used. Example: > :echo 10 + 5 * 2 < 20 ~ Grouping is done with parentheses. No surprises here. Example: > :echo (10 + 5) * 2 < 30 ~ Strings can be concatenated with ".." (see \|expr6\|). Example: > :echo "foo" .. "bar" < foobar ~ When the ":echo" command gets multiple arguments, it separates them with a space. In the example the argument is a single expression, thus no space is inserted. Borrowed from the C language is the conditional expression: a ? b : c If "a" evaluates to true "b" is used, otherwise "c" is used. Example: > :let i = 4 :echo i > 5 ? "i is big" : "i is small" < i is small ~ The three parts of the constructs are always evaluated first, thus you could see it work as: (a) ? (b) : (c) ============================================================================== 41.4 Conditionals The ":if" commands executes the following statements, until the matching ":endif", only when a condition is met. The generic form is: :if {condition} {statements} :endif Only when the expression {condition} evaluates to true (non-zero) will the {statements} be executed. These must still be valid commands. If they contain garbage, Vim won't be able to find the ":endif". You can also use ":else". The generic form for this is: :if {condition} {statements} :else {statements} :endif The second {statements} is only executed if the first one isn't. Finally, there is ":elseif": :if {condition} {statements} :elseif {condition} {statements} :endif This works just like using ":else" and then "if", but without the need for an extra ":endif". A useful example for your vimrc file is checking the 'term' option and doing something depending upon its value: > :if &term == "xterm" : " Do stuff for xterm :elseif &term == "vt100" : " Do stuff for a vt100 terminal :else : " Do something for other terminals :endif LOGIC OPERATIONS We already used some of them in the examples. These are the most often used ones: a == b equal to a != b not equal to a > b greater than a >= b greater than or equal to a < b less than a <= b less than or equal to The result is one if the condition is met and zero otherwise. An example: > :if v:version >= 700 : echo "congratulations" :else : echo "you are using an old version, upgrade!" :endif Here "v:version" is a variable defined by Vim, which has the value of the Vim version. 600 is for version 6.0. Version 6.1 has the value 601. This is very useful to write a script that works with multiple versions of Vim. \|v:version\| The logic operators work both for numbers and strings. When comparing two strings, the mathematical difference is used. This compares byte values, which may not be right for some languages. When comparing a string with a number, the string is first converted to a number. This is a bit tricky, because when a string doesn't look like a number, the number zero is used. Example: > :if 0 == "one" : echo "yes" :endif This will echo "yes", because "one" doesn't look like a number, thus it is converted to the number zero. For strings there are two more items: a =~ b matches with a !~ b does not match with The left item "a" is used as a string. The right item "b" is used as a pattern, like what's used for searching. Example: > :if str =~ " " : echo "str contains a space" :endif :if str !~ '\.$' : echo "str does not end in a full stop" :endif Notice the use of a single-quote string for the pattern. This is useful, because backslashes would need to be doubled in a double-quote string and patterns tend to contain many backslashes. The 'ignorecase' option is used when comparing strings. When you don't want that, append "#" to match case and "?" to ignore case. Thus "==?" compares two strings to be equal while ignoring case. And "!~#" checks if a pattern doesn't match, also checking the case of letters. For the full table see \|expr-==\|. MORE LOOPING The ":while" command was already mentioned. Two more statements can be used in between the ":while" and the ":endwhile": :continue Jump back to the start of the while loop; the loop continues. :break Jump forward to the ":endwhile"; the loop is discontinued. Example: > :while counter < 40 : call do_something() : if skip_flag : continue : endif : if finished_flag : break : endif : sleep 50m :endwhile The ":sleep" command makes Vim take a nap. The "50m" specifies fifty milliseconds. Another example is ":sleep 4", which sleeps for four seconds. Even more looping can be done with the ":for" command, see below in \|41.8\|. ============================================================================== 41.5 Executing an expression So far the commands in the script were executed by Vim directly. The ":execute" command allows executing the result of an expression. This is a very powerful way to build commands and execute them. An example is to jump to a tag, which is contained in a variable: > :execute "tag " .. tag_name The ".." is used to concatenate the string "tag " with the value of variable "tag_name". Suppose "tag_name" has the value "get_cmd", then the command that will be executed is: > :tag get_cmd The ":execute" command can only execute colon commands. The ":normal" command executes Normal mode commands. However, its argument is not an expression but the literal command characters. Example: > :normal gg=G This jumps to the first line and formats all lines with the "=" operator. To make ":normal" work with an expression, combine ":execute" with it. Example: > :execute "normal " .. normal_commands The variable "normal_commands" must contain the Normal mode commands. Make sure that the argument for ":normal" is a complete command. Otherwise Vim will run into the end of the argument and abort the command. For example, if you start Insert mode, you must leave Insert mode as well. This works: > :execute "normal Inew text \<Esc>" This inserts "new text " in the current line. Notice the use of the special key "\<Esc>". This avoids having to enter a real <Esc> character in your script. If you don't want to execute a string but evaluate it to get its expression value, you can use the eval() function: > :let optname = "path" :let optval = eval('&' .. optname) A "&" character is prepended to "path", thus the argument to eval() is "&path". The result will then be the value of the 'path' option. The same thing can be done with: > :exe 'let optval = &' .. optname ============================================================================== 41.6 Using functions Vim defines many functions and provides a large amount of functionality that way. A few examples will be given in this section. You can find the whole list here: \|functions\|. A function is called with the ":call" command. The parameters are passed in between parentheses separated by commas. Example: > :call search("Date: ", "W") This calls the search() function, with arguments "Date: " and "W". The search() function uses its first argument as a search pattern and the second one as flags. The "W" flag means the search doesn't wrap around the end of the file. A function can be called in an expression. Example: > :let line = getline(".") :let repl = substitute(line, '\a', "", "g") :call setline(".", repl) The getline() function obtains a line from the current buffer. Its argument is a specification of the line number. In this case "." is used, which means the line where the cursor is. The substitute() function does something similar to the ":substitute" command. The first argument is the string on which to perform the substitution. The second argument is the pattern, the third the replacement string. Finally, the last arguments are the flags. The setline() function sets the line, specified by the first argument, to a new string, the second argument. In this example the line under the cursor is replaced with the result of the substitute(). Thus the effect of the three statements is equal to: > :substitute/\a//g Using the functions becomes more interesting when you do more work before and after the substitute() call.

============================================================================== 41.7 Defining a function Vim enables you to define your own functions. The basic function declaration begins as follows: > :function {name}({var1}, {var2}, ...) : {body} :endfunction < Note: Function names must begin with a capital letter. Let's define a short function to return the smaller of two numbers. It starts with this line: > :function Min(num1, num2) This tells Vim that the function is named "Min" and it takes two arguments: "num1" and "num2". The first thing you need to do is to check to see which number is smaller: > : if a:num1 < a:num2 The special prefix "a:" tells Vim that the variable is a function argument. Let's assign the variable "smaller" the value of the smallest number: > : if a:num1 < a:num2 : let smaller = a:num1 : else : let smaller = a:num2 : endif The variable "smaller" is a local variable. Variables used inside a function are local unless prefixed by something like "g:", "a:", or "s:". Note: To access a global variable from inside a function you must prepend "g:" to it. Thus "g:today" inside a function is used for the global variable "today", and "today" is another variable, local to the function. You now use the ":return" statement to return the smallest number to the user. Finally, you end the function: > : return smaller :endfunction The complete function definition is as follows: > :function Min(num1, num2) : if a:num1 < a:num2 : let smaller = a:num1 : else : let smaller = a:num2 : endif : return smaller :endfunction For people who like short functions, this does the same thing: > :function Min(num1, num2) : if a:num1 < a:num2 : return a:num1 : endif : return a:num2 :endfunction A user defined function is called in exactly the same way as a built-in function. Only the name is different. The Min function can be used like this: > :echo Min(5, 8) Only now will the function be executed and the lines be interpreted by Vim. If there are mistakes, like using an undefined variable or function, you will now get an error message. When defining the function these errors are not detected. When a function reaches ":endfunction" or ":return" is used without an argument, the function returns zero. To redefine a function that already exists, use the ! for the ":function" command: > :function! Min(num1, num2, num3) USING A RANGE The ":call" command can be given a line range. This can have one of two meanings. When a function has been defined with the "range" keyword, it will take care of the line range itself. The function will be passed the variables "a:firstline" and "a:lastline". These will have the line numbers from the range the function was called with. Example: > :function Count_words() range : let lnum = a:firstline : let n = 0 : while lnum <= a:lastline : let n = n + len(split(getline(lnum))) : let lnum = lnum + 1 : endwhile : echo "found " .. n .. " words" :endfunction You can call this function with: > :10,30call Count_words() It will be executed once and echo the number of words. The other way to use a line range is by defining a function without the "range" keyword. The function will be called once for every line in the range, with the cursor in that line. Example: > :function Number() : echo "line " .. line(".") .. " contains: " .. getline(".") :endfunction If you call this function with: > :10,15call Number() The function will be called six times. VARIABLE NUMBER OF ARGUMENTS Vim enables you to define functions that have a variable number of arguments. The following command, for instance, defines a function that must have 1 argument (start) and can have up to 20 additional arguments: > :function Show(start, ...) The variable "a:1" contains the first optional argument, "a:2" the second, and so on. The variable "a:0" contains the number of extra arguments. For example: > :function Show(start, ...) : echohl Title : echo "start is " .. a:start : echohl None : let index = 1 : while index <= a:0 : echo " Arg " .. index .. " is " .. a:{index} : let index = index + 1 : endwhile : echo "" :endfunction This uses the ":echohl" command to specify the highlighting used for the following ":echo" command. ":echohl None" stops it again. The ":echon" command works like ":echo", but doesn't output a line break. You can also use the a:000 variable, it is a List of all the "..." arguments. See \|a:000\|. LISTING FUNCTIONS The ":function" command lists the names and arguments of all user-defined functions: > :function < function Show(start, ...) ~ function GetVimIndent() ~ function SetSyn(name) ~ To see what a function does, use its name as an argument for ":function": > :function SetSyn < 1 if &syntax == '' ~ 2 let &syntax = a:name ~ 3 endif ~ endfunction ~ DEBUGGING The line number is useful for when you get an error message or when debugging. See \|debug-scripts\| about debugging mode. You can also set the 'verbose' option to 12 or higher to see all function calls. Set it to 15 or higher to see every executed line. DELETING A FUNCTION To delete the Show() function: > :delfunction Show You get an error when the function doesn't exist. FUNCTION REFERENCES Sometimes it can be useful to have a variable point to one function or another. You can do it with the function() function. It turns the name of a function into a reference: > :let result = 0 " or 1 :function! Right() : return 'Right!' :endfunc :function! Wrong() : return 'Wrong!' :endfunc : :if result == 1 : let Afunc = function('Right') :else : let Afunc = function('Wrong') :endif :echo call(Afunc, []) < Wrong! ~ Note that the name of a variable that holds a function reference must start with a capital. Otherwise it could be confused with the name of a builtin function. The way to invoke a function that a variable refers to is with the call() function. Its first argument is the function reference, the second argument is a List with arguments. Function references are most useful in combination with a Dictionary, as is explained in the next section. ============================================================================== 41.8 Lists and Dictionaries So far we have used the basic types String and Number. Vim also supports two composite types: List and Dictionary. A List is an ordered sequence of things. The things can be any kind of value, thus you can make a List of numbers, a List of Lists and even a List of mixed items. To create a List with three strings: > :let alist = ['aap', 'mies', 'noot'] The List items are enclosed in square brackets and separated by commas. To create an empty List: > :let alist = [] You can add items to a List with the add() function: > :let alist = [] :call add(alist, 'foo') :call add(alist, 'bar') :echo alist < ['foo', 'bar'] ~ List concatenation is done with +: > :echo alist + ['foo', 'bar'] < ['foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'bar'] ~ Or, if you want to extend a List directly: > :let alist = ['one'] :call extend(alist, ['two', 'three']) :echo alist < ['one', 'two', 'three'] ~ Notice that using add() will have a different effect: > :let alist = ['one'] :call add(alist, ['two', 'three']) :echo alist < ['one', ['two', 'three']] ~ The second argument of add() is added as a single item. FOR LOOP One of the nice things you can do with a List is iterate over it: > :let alist = ['one', 'two', 'three'] :for n in alist : echo n :endfor < one ~ two ~ three ~ This will loop over each element in List "alist", assigning the value to variable "n". The generic form of a for loop is: > :for {varname} in {listexpression} : {commands} :endfor To loop a certain number of times you need a List of a specific length. The range() function creates one for you: > :for a in range(3) : echo a :endfor < 0 ~ 1 ~ 2 ~ Notice that the first item of the List that range() produces is zero, thus the last item is one less than the length of the list. You can also specify the maximum value, the stride and even go backwards: > :for a in range(8, 4, -2) : echo a :endfor < 8 ~ 6 ~ 4 ~ A more useful example, looping over lines in the buffer: > :for line in getline(1, 20) : if line =~ "Date: " : echo matchstr(line, 'Date: \zs.') : endif :endfor This looks into lines 1 to 20 (inclusive) and echoes any date found in there. DICTIONARIES A Dictionary stores key-value pairs. You can quickly lookup a value if you know the key. A Dictionary is created with curly braces: > :let uk2nl = {'one': 'een', 'two': 'twee', 'three': 'drie'} Now you can lookup words by putting the key in square brackets: > :echo uk2nl['two'] < twee ~ The generic form for defining a Dictionary is: > {<key> : <value>, ...} An empty Dictionary is one without any keys: > {} The possibilities with Dictionaries are numerous. There are various functions for them as well. For example, you can obtain a list of the keys and loop over them: > :for key in keys(uk2nl) : echo key :endfor < three ~ one ~ two ~ You will notice the keys are not ordered. You can sort the list to get a specific order: > :for key in sort(keys(uk2nl)) : echo key :endfor < one ~ three ~ two ~ But you can never get back the order in which items are defined. For that you need to use a List, it stores items in an ordered sequence. DICTIONARY FUNCTIONS The items in a Dictionary can normally be obtained with an index in square brackets: > :echo uk2nl['one'] < een ~ A method that does the same, but without so many punctuation characters: > :echo uk2nl.one < een ~ This only works for a key that is made of ASCII letters, digits and the underscore. You can also assign a new value this way: > :let uk2nl.four = 'vier' :echo uk2nl < {'three': 'drie', 'four': 'vier', 'one': 'een', 'two': 'twee'} ~ And now for something special: you can directly define a function and store a reference to it in the dictionary: > :function uk2nl.translate(line) dict : return join(map(split(a:line), 'get(self, v:val, "???")')) :endfunction Let's first try it out: > :echo uk2nl.translate('three two five one') < drie twee ??? een ~ The first special thing you notice is the "dict" at the end of the ":function" line. This marks the function as being used from a Dictionary. The "self" local variable will then refer to that Dictionary. Now let's break up the complicated return command: > split(a:line) The split() function takes a string, chops it into whitespace separated words and returns a list with these words. Thus in the example it returns: > :echo split('three two five one') < ['three', 'two', 'five', 'one'] ~ This list is the first argument to the map() function. This will go through the list, evaluating its second argument with "v:val" set to the value of each item. This is a shortcut to using a for loop. This command: > :let alist = map(split(a:line), 'get(self, v:val, "???")') Is equivalent to: > :let alist = split(a:line) :for idx in range(len(alist)) : let alist[idx] = get(self, alist[idx], "???") :endfor The get() function checks if a key is present in a Dictionary. If it is, then the value is retrieved. If it isn't, then the default value is returned, in the example it's '???'. This is a convenient way to handle situations where a key may not be present and you don't want an error message. The join() function does the opposite of split(): it joins together a list of words, putting a space in between. This combination of split(), map() and join() is a nice way to filter a line of words in a very compact way. OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING Now that you can put both values and functions in a Dictionary, you can actually use a Dictionary like an object. Above we used a Dictionary for translating Dutch to English. We might want to do the same for other languages. Let's first make an object (aka Dictionary) that has the translate function, but no words to translate: > :let transdict = {} :function transdict.translate(line) dict : return join(map(split(a:line), 'get(self.words, v:val, "???")')) :endfunction It's slightly different from the function above, using 'self.words' to lookup word translations. But we don't have a self.words. Thus you could call this an abstract class. Now we can instantiate a Dutch translation object: > :let uk2nl = copy(transdict) :let uk2nl.words = {'one': 'een', 'two': 'twee', 'three': 'drie'} :echo uk2nl.translate('three one') < drie een ~ And a German translator: > :let uk2de = copy(transdict) :let uk2de.words = {'one': 'eins', 'two': 'zwei', 'three': 'drei'} :echo uk2de.translate('three one') < drei eins ~ You see that the copy() function is used to make a copy of the "transdict" Dictionary and then the copy is changed to add the words. The original remains the same, of course. Now you can go one step further, and use your preferred translator: > :if $LANG =~ "de" : let trans = uk2de :else : let trans = uk2nl :endif :echo trans.translate('one two three') < een twee drie ~ Here "trans" refers to one of the two objects (Dictionaries). No copy is made. More about List and Dictionary identity can be found at \|list-identity\| and \|dict-identity\|. Now you might use a language that isn't supported. You can overrule the translate() function to do nothing: > :let uk2uk = copy(transdict) :function! uk2uk.translate(line) : return a:line :endfunction :echo uk2uk.translate('three one wladiwostok') < three one wladiwostok ~ Notice that a ! was used to overwrite the existing function reference. Now use "uk2uk" when no recognized language is found: > :if $LANG =~ "de" : let trans = uk2de :elseif $LANG =~ "nl" : let trans = uk2nl :else : let trans = uk2uk :endif :echo trans.translate('one two three') < one two three ~ For further reading see \|Lists\| and \|Dictionaries\|. ============================================================================== 41.9* Exceptions Let's start with an example: > :try : read ~/templates/pascal.tmpl :catch /E484:/ : echo "Sorry, the Pascal template file cannot be found." :endtry The ":read" command will fail if the file does not exist. Instead of generating an error message, this code catches the error and gives the user a nice message. For the commands in between ":try" and ":endtry" errors are turned into exceptions. An exception is a string. In the case of an error the string contains the error message. And every error message has a number. In this case, the error we catch contains "E484:". This number is guaranteed to stay the same (the text may change, e.g., it may be translated). When the ":read" command causes another error, the pattern "E484:" will not match in it. Thus this exception will not be caught and result in the usual error message. You might be tempted to do this: > :try : read ~/templates/pascal.tmpl :catch : echo "Sorry, the Pascal template file cannot be found." :endtry This means all errors are caught. But then you will not see errors that are useful, such as "E21: Cannot make changes, 'modifiable' is off". Another useful mechanism is the ":finally" command: > :let tmp = tempname() :try : exe ".,$write " .. tmp : exe "!filter " .. tmp : .,$delete : exe "$read " .. tmp :finally : call delete(tmp) :endtry This filters the lines from the cursor until the end of the file through the "filter" command, which takes a file name argument. No matter if the filtering works, something goes wrong in between ":try" and ":finally" or the user cancels the filtering by pressing CTRL-C, the "call delete(tmp)" is always executed. This makes sure you don't leave the temporary file behind. More information about exception handling can be found in the reference manual: \|exception-handling\|. ============================================================================== 41.10 Various remarks Here is a summary of items that apply to Vim scripts. They are also mentioned elsewhere, but form a nice checklist. The end-of-line character depends on the system. For Unix a single <NL> character is used. For MS-Windows and the like, <CR><NL> is used. This is important when using mappings that end in a <CR>. See \|:source_crnl\|. WHITE SPACE Blank lines are allowed and ignored. Leading whitespace characters (blanks and TABs) are always ignored. The whitespaces between parameters (e.g. between the "set" and the "cpoptions" in the example below) are reduced to one blank character and plays the role of a separator, the whitespaces after the last (visible) character may or may not be ignored depending on the situation, see below. For a ":set" command involving the "=" (equal) sign, such as in: > :set cpoptions =aABceFst the whitespace immediately before the "=" sign is ignored. But there can be no whitespace after the "=" sign! To include a whitespace character in the value of an option, it must be escaped by a "\" (backslash) as in the following example: > :set tags=my\ nice\ file The same example written as: > :set tags=my nice file will issue an error, because it is interpreted as: > :set tags=my :set nice :set file COMMENTS The character " (the double quote mark) starts a comment. Everything after and including this character until the end-of-line is considered a comment and is ignored, except for commands that don't consider comments, as shown in examples below. A comment can start on any character position on the line. There is a little "catch" with comments for some commands. Examples: > :abbrev dev development " shorthand :map <F3> o#include " insert include :execute cmd " do it :!ls .c " list C files The abbreviation 'dev' will be expanded to 'development " shorthand'. The mapping of <F3> will actually be the whole line after the 'o# ....' including the '" insert include'. The "execute" command will give an error. The "!" command will send everything after it to the shell, causing an error for an unmatched '"' character. There can be no comment after ":map", ":abbreviate", ":execute" and "!" commands (there are a few more commands with this restriction). For the ":map", ":abbreviate" and ":execute" commands there is a trick: > :abbrev dev development\|" shorthand :map <F3> o#include\|" insert include :execute cmd \|" do it With the '\|' character the command is separated from the next one. And that next command is only a comment. For the last command you need to do two things: \|:execute\| and use '\|': > :exe '!ls .c' \|" list C files Notice that there is no white space before the '\|' in the abbreviation and mapping. For these commands, any character until the end-of-line or '\|' is included. As a consequence of this behavior, you don't always see that trailing whitespace is included: > :map <F4> o#include To spot these problems, you can set the 'list' option when editing vimrc files. For Unix there is one special way to comment a line, that allows making a Vim script executable: > #!/usr/bin/env vim -S echo "this is a Vim script" quit The "#" command by itself lists a line with the line number. Adding an exclamation mark changes it into doing nothing, so that you can add the shell command to execute the rest of the file. \|:#!\| \|-S\| PITFALLS Even bigger problem arises in the following example: > :map ,ab o#include :unmap ,ab Here the unmap command will not work, because it tries to unmap ",ab ". This does not exist as a mapped sequence. An error will be issued, which is very hard to identify, because the ending whitespace character in ":unmap ,ab " is not visible. And this is the same as what happens when one uses a comment after an 'unmap' command: > :unmap ,ab " comment Here the comment part will be ignored. However, Vim will try to unmap ',ab ', which does not exist. Rewrite it as: > :unmap ,ab\| " comment RESTORING THE VIEW Sometimes you want to make a change and go back to where the cursor was. Restoring the relative position would also be nice, so that the same line appears at the top of the window. This example yanks the current line, puts it above the first line in the file and then restores the view: > map ,p ma"aYHmbgg"aP`bzt`a What this does: > ma"aYHmbgg"aP`bzt`a < ma set mark a at cursor position "aY yank current line into register a Hmb go to top line in window and set mark b there gg go to first line in file "aP put the yanked line above it `b go back to top line in display zt position the text in the window as before `a go back to saved cursor position PACKAGING To avoid your function names to interfere with functions that you get from others, use this scheme: - Prepend a unique string before each function name. I often use an abbreviation. For example, "OW_" is used for the option window functions. - Put the definition of your functions together in a file. Set a global variable to indicate that the functions have been loaded. When sourcing the file again, first unload the functions. Example: > " This is the XXX package if exists("XXX_loaded") delfun XXX_one delfun XXX_two endif function XXX_one(a) ... body of function ... endfun function XXX_two(b) ... body of function ... endfun let XXX_loaded = 1 ============================================================================== 41.11 Writing a plugin write-plugin You can write a Vim script in such a way that many people can use it. This is called a plugin. Vim users can drop your script in their plugin directory and use its features right away \|add-plugin\|. There are actually two types of plugins: global plugins: For all types of files. filetype plugins: Only for files of a specific type. In this section the first type is explained. Most items are also relevant for writing filetype plugins. The specifics for filetype plugins are in the next section \|write-filetype-plugin\|. NAME First of all you must choose a name for your plugin. The features provided by the plugin should be clear from its name. And it should be unlikely that someone else writes a plugin with the same name but which does something different. And please limit the name to 8 characters, to avoid problems on old MS-Windows systems. A script that corrects typing mistakes could be called "typecorr.vim". We will use it here as an example. For the plugin to work for everybody, it should follow a few guidelines. This will be explained step-by-step. The complete example plugin is at the end. BODY Let's start with the body of the plugin, the lines that do the actual work: > 14 iabbrev teh the 15 iabbrev otehr other 16 iabbrev wnat want 17 iabbrev synchronisation 18 \ synchronization 19 let s:count = 4 The actual list should be much longer, of course. The line numbers have only been added to explain a few things, don't put them in your plugin file! HEADER You will probably add new corrections to the plugin and soon have several versions lying around. And when distributing this file, people will want to know who wrote this wonderful plugin and where they can send remarks. Therefore, put a header at the top of your plugin: > 1 " Vim global plugin for correcting typing mistakes 2 " Last Change: 2000 Oct 15 3 " Maintainer: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> About copyright and licensing: Since plugins are very useful and it's hardly worth restricting their distribution, please consider making your plugin either public domain or use the Vim \|license\|. A short note about this near the top of the plugin should be sufficient. Example: > 4 " License: This file is placed in the public domain. LINE CONTINUATION, AVOIDING SIDE EFFECTS use-cpo-save In line 18 above, the line-continuation mechanism is used \|line-continuation\|. Users with 'compatible' set will run into trouble here, they will get an error message. We can't just reset 'compatible', because that has a lot of side effects. To avoid this, we will set the 'cpoptions' option to its Vim default value and restore it later. That will allow the use of line-continuation and make the script work for most people. It is done like this: > 11 let s:save_cpo = &cpo 12 set cpo&vim .. 42 let &cpo = s:save_cpo 43 unlet s:save_cpo We first store the old value of 'cpoptions' in the s:save_cpo variable. At the end of the plugin this value is restored. Notice that a script-local variable is used \|s:var\|. A global variable could already be in use for something else. Always use script-local variables for things that are only used in the script. NOT LOADING It's possible that a user doesn't always want to load this plugin. Or the system administrator has dropped it in the system-wide plugin directory, but a user has his own plugin he wants to use. Then the user must have a chance to disable loading this specific plugin. This will make it possible: > 6 if exists("g:loaded_typecorr") 7 finish 8 endif 9 let g:loaded_typecorr = 1 This also avoids that when the script is loaded twice it would cause error messages for redefining functions and cause trouble for autocommands that are added twice. The name is recommended to start with "loaded_" and then the file name of the plugin, literally. The "g:" is prepended just to avoid mistakes when using the variable in a function (without "g:" it would be a variable local to the function). Using "finish" stops Vim from reading the rest of the file, it's much quicker than using if-endif around the whole file. MAPPING Now let's make the plugin more interesting: We will add a mapping that adds a correction for the word under the cursor. We could just pick a key sequence for this mapping, but the user might already use it for something else. To allow the user to define which keys a mapping in a plugin uses, the <Leader> item can be used: > 22 map <unique> <Leader>a <Plug>TypecorrAdd; The "<Plug>TypecorrAdd;" thing will do the work, more about that further on. The user can set the "mapleader" variable to the key sequence that he wants this mapping to start with. Thus if the user has done: > let mapleader = "_" the mapping will define "_a". If the user didn't do this, the default value will be used, which is a backslash. Then a map for "\a" will be defined. Note that <unique> is used, this will cause an error message if the mapping already happened to exist. \|:map-<unique>\| But what if the user wants to define his own key sequence? We can allow that with this mechanism: > 21 if !hasmapto('<Plug>TypecorrAdd;') 22 map <unique> <Leader>a <Plug>TypecorrAdd; 23 endif This checks if a mapping to "<Plug>TypecorrAdd;" already exists, and only defines the mapping from "<Leader>a" if it doesn't. The user then has a chance of putting this in his vimrc file: > map ,c <Plug>TypecorrAdd; Then the mapped key sequence will be ",c" instead of "_a" or "\a". PIECES If a script gets longer, you often want to break up the work in pieces. You can use functions or mappings for this. But you don't want these functions and mappings to interfere with the ones from other scripts. For example, you could define a function Add(), but another script could try to define the same function. To avoid this, we define the function local to the script by prepending it with "s:". We will define a function that adds a new typing correction: > 30 function s:Add(from, correct) 31 let to = input("type the correction for " .. a:from .. ": ") 32 exe ":iabbrev " .. a:from .. " " .. to .. 36 endfunction Now we can call the function s:Add() from within this script. If another script also defines s:Add(), it will be local to that script and can only be called from the script it was defined in. There can also be a global Add() function (without the "s:"), which is again another function. <SID> can be used with mappings. It generates a script ID, which identifies the current script. In our typing correction plugin we use it like this: > 24 noremap <unique> <script> <Plug>TypecorrAdd; <SID>Add .. 28 noremap <SID>Add :call <SID>Add(expand("<cword>"), 1)<CR> Thus when a user types "\a", this sequence is invoked: > \a -> <Plug>TypecorrAdd; -> <SID>Add -> :call <SID>Add() If another script also maps <SID>Add, it will get another script ID and thus define another mapping. Note that instead of s:Add() we use <SID>Add() here. That is because the mapping is typed by the user, thus outside of the script. The <SID> is translated to the script ID, so that Vim knows in which script to look for the Add() function. This is a bit complicated, but it's required for the plugin to work together with other plugins. The basic rule is that you use <SID>Add() in mappings and s:Add() in other places (the script itself, autocommands, user commands). We can also add a menu entry to do the same as the mapping: > 26 noremenu <script> Plugin.Add\ Correction <SID>Add The "Plugin" menu is recommended for adding menu items for plugins. In this case only one item is used. When adding more items, creating a submenu is recommended. For example, "Plugin.CVS" could be used for a plugin that offers CVS operations "Plugin.CVS.checkin", "Plugin.CVS.checkout", etc. Note that in line 28 ":noremap" is used to avoid that any other mappings cause trouble. Someone may have remapped ":call", for example. In line 24 we also use ":noremap", but we do want "<SID>Add" to be remapped. This is why "<script>" is used here. This only allows mappings which are local to the script. \|:map-<script>\| The same is done in line 26 for ":noremenu". \|:menu-<script>\| <SID> AND <Plug> using-<Plug> Both <SID> and <Plug> are used to avoid that mappings of typed keys interfere with mappings that are only to be used from other mappings. Note the difference between using <SID> and <Plug>: <Plug> is visible outside of the script. It is used for mappings which the user might want to map a key sequence to. <Plug> is a special code that a typed key will never produce. To make it very unlikely that other plugins use the same sequence of characters, use this structure: <Plug> scriptname mapname In our example the scriptname is "Typecorr" and the mapname is "Add". We add a semicolon as the terminator. This results in "<Plug>TypecorrAdd;". Only the first character of scriptname and mapname is uppercase, so that we can see where mapname starts. <SID> is the script ID, a unique identifier for a script. Internally Vim translates <SID> to "<SNR>123_", where "123" can be any number. Thus a function "<SID>Add()" will have a name "<SNR>11_Add()" in one script, and "<SNR>22_Add()" in another. You can see this if you use the ":function" command to get a list of functions. The translation of <SID> in mappings is exactly the same, that's how you can call a script-local function from a mapping. USER COMMAND Now let's add a user command to add a correction: > 38 if !exists(":Correct") 39 command -nargs=1 Correct :call s:Add(<q-args>, 0) 40 endif The user command is defined only if no command with the same name already exists. Otherwise we would get an error here. Overriding the existing user command with ":command!" is not a good idea, this would probably make the user wonder why the command he defined himself doesn't work. \|:command\| SCRIPT VARIABLES When a variable starts with "s:" it is a script variable. It can only be used inside a script. Outside the script it's not visible. This avoids trouble with using the same variable name in different scripts. The variables will be kept as long as Vim is running. And the same variables are used when sourcing the same script again. \|s:var\| The fun is that these variables can also be used in functions, autocommands and user commands that are defined in the script. In our example we can add a few lines to count the number of corrections: > 19 let s:count = 4 .. 30 function s:Add(from, correct) .. 34 let s:count = s:count + 1 35 echo s:count .. " corrections now" 36 endfunction First s:count is initialized to 4 in the script itself. When later the s:Add() function is called, it increments s:count. It doesn't matter from where the function was called, since it has been defined in the script, it will use the local variables from this script. THE RESULT Here is the resulting complete example: > 1 " Vim global plugin for correcting typing mistakes 2 " Last Change: 2000 Oct 15 3 " Maintainer: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> 4 " License: This file is placed in the public domain. 5 6 if exists("g:loaded_typecorr") 7 finish 8 endif 9 let g:loaded_typecorr = 1 10 11 let s:save_cpo = &cpo 12 set cpo&vim 13 14 iabbrev teh the 15 iabbrev otehr other 16 iabbrev wnat want 17 iabbrev synchronisation 18 \ synchronization 19 let s:count = 4 20 21 if !hasmapto('<Plug>TypecorrAdd;') 22 map <unique> <Leader>a <Plug>TypecorrAdd; 23 endif 24 noremap <unique> <script> <Plug>TypecorrAdd; <SID>Add 25 26 noremenu <script> Plugin.Add\ Correction <SID>Add 27 28 noremap <SID>Add :call <SID>Add(expand("<cword>"), 1)<CR> 29 30 function s:Add(from, correct) 31 let to = input("type the correction for " .. a:from ..

It applies the new correction to the word under the cursor. The \|:normal\| command is used to use the new abbreviation. Note that mappings and abbreviations are expanded here, even though the function was called from a mapping defined with ":noremap". Using "unix" for the 'fileformat' option is recommended. The Vim scripts will then work everywhere. Scripts with 'fileformat' set to "dos" do not work on Unix. Also see \|:source_crnl\|. To be sure it is set right, do this before writing the file: > :set fileformat=unix DOCUMENTATION write-local-help It's a good idea to also write some documentation for your plugin. Especially when its behavior can be changed by the user. See \|add-local-help\| for how they are installed. Here is a simple example for a plugin help file, called "typecorr.txt": > 1 typecorr.txt Plugin for correcting typing mistakes 2 3 If you make typing mistakes, this plugin will have them corrected 4 automatically. 5 6 There are currently only a few corrections. Add your own if you like. 7 8 Mappings: 9 <Leader>a or <Plug>TypecorrAdd; 10 Add a correction for the word under the cursor. 11 12 Commands: 13 :Correct {word} 14 Add a correction for {word}. 15 16 typecorr-settings 17 This plugin doesn't have any settings. The first line is actually the only one for which the format matters. It will be extracted from the help file to be put in the "LOCAL ADDITIONS:" section of help.txt \|local-additions\|. The first "" must be in the first column of the first line. After adding your help file do ":help" and check that the entries line up nicely. You can add more tags inside * in your help file. But be careful not to use existing help tags. You would probably use the name of your plugin in most of them, like "typecorr-settings" in the example. Using references to other parts of the help in \|\| is recommended. This makes it easy for the user to find associated help. FILETYPE DETECTION plugin-filetype If your filetype is not already detected by Vim, you should create a filetype detection snippet in a separate file. It is usually in the form of an autocommand that sets the filetype when the file name matches a pattern. Example: > au BufNewFile,BufRead .foo set filetype=foofoo Write this single-line file as "ftdetect/foofoo.vim" in the first directory that appears in 'runtimepath'. For Unix that would be "~/.vim/ftdetect/foofoo.vim". The convention is to use the name of the filetype for the script name. You can make more complicated checks if you like, for example to inspect the contents of the file to recognize the language. Also see \|new-filetype\|. SUMMARY plugin-special* Summary of special things to use in a plugin: s:name Variables local to the script. <SID> Script-ID, used for mappings and functions local to the script. hasmapto() Function to test if the user already defined a mapping for functionality the script offers. <Leader> Value of "mapleader", which the user defines as the keys that plugin mappings start with. :map <unique> Give a warning if a mapping already exists. :noremap <script> Use only mappings local to the script, not global mappings. exists(":Cmd") Check if a user command already exists. ============================================================================== 41.12 Writing a filetype plugin write-filetype-plugin ftplugin A filetype plugin is like a global plugin, except that it sets options and defines mappings for the current buffer only. See \|add-filetype-plugin\| for how this type of plugin is used. First read the section on global plugins above \|41.11\|. All that is said there also applies to filetype plugins. There are a few extras, which are explained here. The essential thing is that a filetype plugin should only have an effect on the current buffer. DISABLING If you are writing a filetype plugin to be used by many people, they need a chance to disable loading it. Put this at the top of the plugin: > " Only do this when not done yet for this buffer if exists("b:did_ftplugin") finish endif let b:did_ftplugin = 1 This also needs to be used to avoid that the same plugin is executed twice for the same buffer (happens when using an ":edit" command without arguments). Now users can disable loading the default plugin completely by making a filetype plugin with only this line: > let b:did_ftplugin = 1 This does require that the filetype plugin directory comes before $VIMRUNTIME in 'runtimepath'! If you do want to use the default plugin, but overrule one of the settings, you can write the different setting in a script: > setlocal textwidth=70 Now write this in the "after" directory, so that it gets sourced after the distributed "vim.vim" ftplugin \|after-directory\|. For Unix this would be "~/.vim/after/ftplugin/vim.vim". Note that the default plugin will have set "b:did_ftplugin", but it is ignored here. OPTIONS To make sure the filetype plugin only affects the current buffer use the > :setlocal command to set options. And only set options which are local to a buffer (see the help for the option to check that). When using \|:setlocal\| for global options or options local to a window, the value will change for many buffers, and that is not what a filetype plugin should do. When an option has a value that is a list of flags or items, consider using "+=" and "-=" to keep the existing value. Be aware that the user may have changed an option value already. First resetting to the default value and then changing it is often a good idea. Example: > :setlocal formatoptions& formatoptions+=ro MAPPINGS To make sure mappings will only work in the current buffer use the > :map <buffer> command. This needs to be combined with the two-step mapping explained above. An example of how to define functionality in a filetype plugin: > if !hasmapto('<Plug>JavaImport;') map <buffer> <unique> <LocalLeader>i <Plug>JavaImport; endif noremap <buffer> <unique> <Plug>JavaImport; oimport ""<Left><Esc> \|hasmapto()\| is used to check if the user has already defined a map to <Plug>JavaImport;. If not, then the filetype plugin defines the default mapping. This starts with \|<LocalLeader>\|, which allows the user to select the key(s) he wants filetype plugin mappings to start with. The default is a backslash. "<unique>" is used to give an error message if the mapping already exists or overlaps with an existing mapping. \|:noremap\| is used to avoid that any other mappings that the user has defined interferes. You might want to use ":noremap <script>" to allow remapping mappings defined in this script that start with <SID>. The user must have a chance to disable the mappings in a filetype plugin, without disabling everything. Here is an example of how this is done for a plugin for the mail filetype: > " Add mappings, unless the user didn't want this. if !exists("no_plugin_maps") && !exists("no_mail_maps") " Quote text by inserting "> " if !hasmapto('<Plug>MailQuote;') vmap <buffer> <LocalLeader>q <Plug>MailQuote; nmap <buffer> <LocalLeader>q <Plug>MailQuote; endif vnoremap <buffer> <Plug>MailQuote; :s/^/> /<CR> nnoremap <buffer> <Plug>MailQuote; :.,$s/^/> /<CR> endif Two global variables are used: \|no_plugin_maps\| disables mappings for all filetype plugins \|no_mail_maps\| disables mappings for the "mail" filetype USER COMMANDS To add a user command for a specific file type, so that it can only be used in one buffer, use the "-buffer" argument to \|:command\|. Example: > :command -buffer Make make %:r.s VARIABLES A filetype plugin will be sourced for each buffer of the type it's for. Local script variables \|s:var\| will be shared between all invocations. Use local buffer variables \|b:var\| if you want a variable specifically for one buffer. FUNCTIONS When defining a function, this only needs to be done once. But the filetype plugin will be sourced every time a file with this filetype will be opened. This construct makes sure the function is only defined once: > :if !exists("s:Func") : function s:Func(arg) : ... : endfunction :endif < UNDO undo_indent* undo_ftplugin When the user does ":setfiletype xyz" the effect of the previous filetype should be undone. Set the b:undo_ftplugin variable to the commands that will undo the settings in your filetype plugin. Example: > let b:undo_ftplugin = "setlocal fo< com< tw< commentstring<" \ .. "\| unlet b:match_ignorecase b:match_words b:match_skip" Using ":setlocal" with "<" after the option name resets the option to its global value. That is mostly the best way to reset the option value. This does require removing the "C" flag from 'cpoptions' to allow line continuation, as mentioned above \|use-cpo-save\|. For undoing the effect of an indent script, the b:undo_indent variable should be set accordingly. FILE NAME The filetype must be included in the file name \|ftplugin-name\|. Use one of these three forms: .../ftplugin/stuff.vim .../ftplugin/stuff_foo.vim .../ftplugin/stuff/bar.vim "stuff" is the filetype, "foo" and "bar" are arbitrary names. SUMMARY ftplugin-special Summary of special things to use in a filetype plugin: <LocalLeader> Value of "maplocalleader", which the user defines as the keys that filetype plugin mappings start with. :map <buffer> Define a mapping local to the buffer. :noremap <script> Only remap mappings defined in this script that start with <SID>. :setlocal Set an option for the current buffer only. :command -buffer Define a user command local to the buffer. exists("s:Func") Check if a function was already defined. Also see \|plugin-special\|, the special things used for all plugins. ============================================================================== 41.13* Writing a compiler plugin write-compiler-plugin A compiler plugin sets options for use with a specific compiler. The user can load it with the \|:compiler\| command. The main use is to set the 'errorformat' and 'makeprg' options. Easiest is to have a look at examples. This command will edit all the default compiler plugins: > :next $VIMRUNTIME/compiler/.vim Use \|:next\| to go to the next plugin file. There are two special items about these files. First is a mechanism to allow a user to overrule or add to the default file. The default files start with: > :if exists("current_compiler") : finish :endif :let current_compiler = "mine" When you write a compiler file and put it in your personal runtime directory (e.g., ~/.vim/compiler for Unix), you set the "current_compiler" variable to make the default file skip the settings. :CompilerSet* The second mechanism is to use ":set" for ":compiler!" and ":setlocal" for ":compiler". Vim defines the ":CompilerSet" user command for this. However, older Vim versions don't, thus your plugin should define it then. This is an example: > if exists(":CompilerSet") != 2 command -nargs=* CompilerSet setlocal <args> endif CompilerSet errorformat& " use the default 'errorformat' CompilerSet makeprg=nmake When you write a compiler plugin for the Vim distribution or for a system-wide runtime directory, use the mechanism mentioned above. When "current_compiler" was already set by a user plugin nothing will be done. When you write a compiler plugin to overrule settings from a default plugin, don't check "current_compiler". This plugin is supposed to be loaded last, thus it should be in a directory at the end of 'runtimepath'. For Unix that could be ~/.vim/after/compiler. ============================================================================== 41.14 Writing a plugin that loads quickly write-plugin-quickload A plugin may grow and become quite long. The startup delay may become noticeable, while you hardly ever use the plugin. Then it's time for a quickload plugin. The basic idea is that the plugin is loaded twice. The first time user commands and mappings are defined that offer the functionality. The second time the functions that implement the functionality are defined. It may sound surprising that quickload means loading a script twice. What we mean is that it loads quickly the first time, postponing the bulk of the script to the second time, which only happens when you actually use it. When you always use the functionality it actually gets slower! Note that since Vim 7 there is an alternative: use the \|autoload\| functionality \|41.15\|. The following example shows how it's done: > " Vim global plugin for demonstrating quick loading " Last Change: 2005 Feb 25 " Maintainer: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> " License: This file is placed in the public domain. if !exists("s:did_load") command -nargs=* BNRead call BufNetRead(<f-args>) map <F19> :call BufNetWrite('something')<CR> let s:did_load = 1 exe 'au FuncUndefined BufNet* source ' .. expand('<sfile>') finish endif function BufNetRead(...) echo 'BufNetRead(' .. string(a:000) .. ')' " read functionality here endfunction function BufNetWrite(...) echo 'BufNetWrite(' .. string(a:000) .. ')' " write functionality here endfunction When the script is first loaded "s:did_load" is not set. The commands between the "if" and "endif" will be executed. This ends in a \|:finish\| command, thus the rest of the script is not executed. The second time the script is loaded "s:did_load" exists and the commands after the "endif" are executed. This defines the (possible long) BufNetRead() and BufNetWrite() functions. If you drop this script in your plugin directory Vim will execute it on startup. This is the sequence of events that happens: 1. The "BNRead" command is defined and the <F19> key is mapped when the script is sourced at startup. A \|FuncUndefined\| autocommand is defined. The ":finish" command causes the script to terminate early. 2. The user types the BNRead command or presses the <F19> key. The BufNetRead() or BufNetWrite() function will be called. 3. Vim can't find the function and triggers the \|FuncUndefined\| autocommand event. Since the pattern "BufNet" matches the invoked function, the command "source fname" will be executed. "fname" will be equal to the name of the script, no matter where it is located, because it comes from expanding "<sfile>" (see \|expand()\|). 4. The script is sourced again, the "s:did_load" variable exists and the functions are defined. Notice that the functions that are loaded afterwards match the pattern in the \|FuncUndefined\| autocommand. You must make sure that no other plugin defines functions that match this pattern. ============================================================================== 41.15* Writing library scripts write-library-script Some functionality will be required in several places. When this becomes more than a few lines you will want to put it in one script and use it from many scripts. We will call that one script a library script. Manually loading a library script is possible, so long as you avoid loading it when it's already done. You can do this with the \|exists()\| function. Example: > if !exists('MyLibFunction') runtime library/mylibscript.vim endif call MyLibFunction(arg) Here you need to know that MyLibFunction() is defined in a script "library/mylibscript.vim" in one of the directories in 'runtimepath'. To make this a bit simpler Vim offers the autoload mechanism. Then the example looks like this: > call mylib#myfunction(arg) That's a lot simpler, isn't it? Vim will recognize the function name and when it's not defined search for the script "autoload/mylib.vim" in 'runtimepath'. That script must define the "mylib#myfunction()" function. You can put many other functions in the mylib.vim script, you are free to organize your functions in library scripts. But you must use function names where the part before the '#' matches the script name. Otherwise Vim would not know what script to load. If you get really enthusiastic and write lots of library scripts, you may want to use subdirectories. Example: > call netlib#ftp#read('somefile') For Unix the library script used for this could be: ~/.vim/autoload/netlib/ftp.vim Where the function is defined like this: > function netlib#ftp#read(fname) " Read the file fname through ftp endfunction Notice that the name the function is defined with is exactly the same as the name used for calling the function. And the part before the last '#' exactly matches the subdirectory and script name. You can use the same mechanism for variables: > let weekdays = dutch#weekdays This will load the script "autoload/dutch.vim", which should contain something like: > let dutch#weekdays = ['zondag', 'maandag', 'dinsdag', 'woensdag', \ 'donderdag', 'vrijdag', 'zaterdag'] Further reading: \|autoload\|. ============================================================================== 41.16* Distributing Vim scripts distribute-script Vim users will look for scripts on the Vim website: http://www.vim.org. If you made something that is useful for others, share it! Vim scripts can be used on any system. There might not be a tar or gzip command. If you want to pack files together and/or compress them the "zip" utility is recommended. For utmost portability use Vim itself to pack scripts together. This can be done with the Vimball utility. See \|vimball\|. It's good if you add a line to allow automatic updating.

📄 usr_42.txt usr_42.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2008 May 05 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Add new menus By now you know that Vim is very flexible. This includes the menus used in the GUI. You can define your own menu entries to make certain commands easily accessible. This is for mouse-happy users only. \|42.1\| Introduction \|42.2\| Menu commands \|42.3\| Various \|42.4\| Toolbar and popup menus Next chapter: \|usr_43.txt\| Using filetypes Previous chapter: \|usr_41.txt\| Write a Vim script Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 42.1 Introduction The menus that Vim uses are defined in the file "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim". If you want to write your own menus, you might first want to look through that file. To define a menu item, use the ":menu" command. The basic form of this command is as follows: > :menu {menu-item} {keys} The {menu-item} describes where on the menu to put the item. A typical {menu-item} is "File.Save", which represents the item "Save" under the "File" menu. A dot is used to separate the names. Example: > :menu File.Save :update<CR> The ":update" command writes the file when it was modified. You can add another level: "Edit.Settings.Shiftwidth" defines a submenu "Settings" under the "Edit" menu, with an item "Shiftwidth". You could use even deeper levels. Don't use this too much, you need to move the mouse quite a bit to use such an item. The ":menu" command is very similar to the ":map" command: the left side specifies how the item is triggered and the right hand side defines the characters that are executed. {keys} are characters, they are used just like you would have typed them. Thus in Insert mode, when {keys} is plain text, that text is inserted. ACCELERATORS The ampersand character (&) is used to indicate an accelerator. For instance, you can use Alt-F to select "File" and S to select "Save". (The 'winaltkeys' option may disable this though!). Therefore, the {menu-item} looks like "&File.&Save". The accelerator characters will be underlined in the menu. You must take care that each key is used only once in each menu. Otherwise you will not know which of the two will actually be used. Vim doesn't warn you for this. PRIORITIES The actual definition of the File.Save menu item is as follows: > :menu 10.340 &File.&Save<Tab>:w :confirm w<CR> The number 10.340 is called the priority number. It is used by the editor to decide where it places the menu item. The first number (10) indicates the position on the menu bar. Lower numbered menus are positioned to the left, higher numbers to the right. These are the priorities used for the standard menus: 10 20 40 50 60 70 9999 +------------------------------------------------------------+ \| File Edit Tools Syntax Buffers Window Help \| +------------------------------------------------------------+ Notice that the Help menu is given a very high number, to make it appear on the far right. The second number (340) determines the location of the item within the pull-down menu. Lower numbers go on top, higher number on the bottom. These are the priorities in the File menu: +-----------------+ 10.310 \|Open... \| 10.320 \|Split-Open... \| 10.325 \|New \| 10.330 \|Close \| 10.335 \|---------------- \| 10.340 \|Save \| 10.350 \|Save As... \| 10.400 \|---------------- \| 10.410 \|Split Diff with \| 10.420 \|Split Patched By \| 10.500 \|---------------- \| 10.510 \|Print \| 10.600 \|---------------- \| 10.610 \|Save-Exit \| 10.620 \|Exit \| +-----------------+ Notice that there is room in between the numbers. This is where you can insert your own items, if you really want to (it's often better to leave the standard menus alone and add a new menu for your own items). When you create a submenu, you can add another ".number" to the priority. Thus each name in {menu-item} has its priority number. SPECIAL CHARACTERS The {menu-item} in this example is "&File.&Save<Tab>:w". This brings up an important point: {menu-item} must be one word. If you want to put a dot, space or tabs in the name, you either use the <> notation (<Space> and <Tab>, for instance) or use the backslash (\) escape. > :menu 10.305 &File.&Do\ It\.\.\. :exit<CR> In this example, the name of the menu item "Do It..." contains a space and the command is ":exit<CR>". The <Tab> character in a menu name is used to separate the part that defines the menu name from the part that gives a hint to the user. The part after the <Tab> is displayed right aligned in the menu. In the File.Save menu the name used is "&File.&Save<Tab>:w". Thus the menu name is "File.Save" and the hint is ":w". SEPARATORS The separator lines, used to group related menu items together, can be defined by using a name that starts and ends in a '-'. For example "-sep-". When using several separators the names must be different. Otherwise the names don't matter. The command from a separator will never be executed, but you have to define one anyway. A single colon will do. Example: > :amenu 20.510 Edit.-sep3- : ============================================================================== 42.2 Menu commands You can define menu items that exist for only certain modes. This works just like the variations on the ":map" command: :menu Normal, Visual and Operator-pending mode :nmenu Normal mode :vmenu Visual mode :omenu Operator-pending mode :menu! Insert and Command-line mode :imenu Insert mode :cmenu Command-line mode :tlmenu Terminal mode :amenu All modes (except for Terminal mode) To avoid that the commands of a menu item are being mapped, use the command ":noremenu", ":nnoremenu", ":anoremenu", etc. USING :AMENU The ":amenu" command is a bit different. It assumes that the {keys} you give are to be executed in Normal mode. When Vim is in Visual or Insert mode when the menu is used, Vim first has to go back to Normal mode. ":amenu" inserts a CTRL-C or CTRL-O for you. For example, if you use this command: > :amenu 90.100 Mine.Find\ Word * Then the resulting menu commands will be: Normal mode: * Visual mode: CTRL-C * Operator-pending mode: CTRL-C * Insert mode: CTRL-O * Command-line mode: CTRL-C * When in Command-line mode the CTRL-C will abandon the command typed so far. In Visual and Operator-pending mode CTRL-C will stop the mode. The CTRL-O in Insert mode will execute the command and then return to Insert mode. CTRL-O only works for one command. If you need to use two or more commands, put them in a function and call that function. Example: > :amenu Mine.Next\ File :call <SID>NextFile()<CR> :function <SID>NextFile() : next : 1/^Code :endfunction This menu entry goes to the next file in the argument list with ":next". Then it searches for the line that starts with "Code". The <SID> before the function name is the script ID. This makes the function local to the current Vim script file. This avoids problems when a function with the same name is defined in another script file. See \|<SID>\|. SILENT MENUS The menu executes the {keys} as if you typed them. For a ":" command this means you will see the command being echoed on the command line. If it's a long command, the hit-Enter prompt will appear. That can be very annoying! To avoid this, make the menu silent. This is done with the <silent> argument. For example, take the call to NextFile() in the previous example. When you use this menu, you will see this on the command line: :call <SNR>34_NextFile() ~ To avoid this text on the command line, insert "<silent>" as the first argument: > :amenu <silent> Mine.Next\ File :call <SID>NextFile()<CR> Don't use "<silent>" too often. It is not needed for short commands. If you make a menu for someone else, being able to see the executed command will give him a hint about what he could have typed, instead of using the mouse. LISTING MENUS When a menu command is used without a {keys} part, it lists the already defined menus. You can specify a {menu-item}, or part of it, to list specific menus. Example: > :amenu This lists all menus. That's a long list! Better specify the name of a menu to get a shorter list: > :amenu Edit This lists only the "Edit" menu items for all modes. To list only one specific menu item for Insert mode: > :imenu Edit.Undo Take care that you type exactly the right name. Case matters here. But the '&' for accelerators can be omitted. The <Tab> and what comes after it can be left out as well. DELETING MENUS To delete a menu, the same command is used as for listing, but with "menu" changed to "unmenu". Thus ":menu" becomes, ":unmenu", ":nmenu" becomes ":nunmenu", etc. To delete the "Tools.Make" item for Insert mode: > :iunmenu Tools.Make You can delete a whole menu, with all its items, by using the menu name. Example: > :aunmenu Syntax This deletes the Syntax menu and all the items in it. ============================================================================== 42.3 Various You can change the appearance of the menus with flags in 'guioptions'. In the default value they are all included, except "M". You can remove a flag with a command like: > :set guioptions-=m < m When removed the menubar is not displayed. M When added the default menus are not loaded. g When removed the inactive menu items are not made grey but are completely removed. (Does not work on all systems.) t When removed the tearoff feature is not enabled. The dotted line at the top of a menu is not a separator line. When you select this item, the menu is "teared-off": It is displayed in a separate window. This is called a tearoff menu. This is useful when you use the same menu often. For translating menu items, see \|:menutrans\|. Since the mouse has to be used to select a menu item, it is a good idea to use the ":browse" command for selecting a file. And ":confirm" to get a dialog instead of an error message, e.g., when the current buffer contains changes. These two can be combined: > :amenu File.Open :browse confirm edit<CR> The ":browse" makes a file browser appear to select the file to edit. The ":confirm" will pop up a dialog when the current buffer has changes. You can then select to save the changes, throw them away or cancel the command. For more complicated items, the confirm() and inputdialog() functions can be used. The default menus contain a few examples. ============================================================================== 42.4 Toolbar and popup menus There are two special menus: ToolBar and PopUp. Items that start with these names do not appear in the normal menu bar. TOOLBAR The toolbar appears only when the "T" flag is included in the 'guioptions' option. The toolbar uses icons rather than text to represent the command. For example, the {menu-item} named "ToolBar.New" causes the "New" icon to appear on the toolbar. The Vim editor has 28 built-in icons. You can find a table here: \|builtin-tools\|. Most of them are used in the default toolbar. You can redefine what these items do (after the default menus are setup). You can add another bitmap for a toolbar item. Or define a new toolbar item with a bitmap. For example, define a new toolbar item with: > :tmenu ToolBar.Compile Compile the current file :amenu ToolBar.Compile :!cc %:S -o %:r:S<CR> Now you need to create the icon. For MS-Windows it must be in bitmap format, with the name "Compile.bmp". For Unix XPM format is used, the file name is "Compile.xpm". The size must be 18 by 18 pixels. On MS-Windows other sizes can be used as well, but it will look ugly. Put the bitmap in the directory "bitmaps" in one of the directories from 'runtimepath'. E.g., for Unix "~/.vim/bitmaps/Compile.xpm". You can define tooltips for the items in the toolbar. A tooltip is a short text that explains what a toolbar item will do. For example "Open file". It appears when the mouse pointer is on the item, without moving for a moment. This is very useful if the meaning of the picture isn't that obvious. Example: > :tmenu ToolBar.Make Run make in the current directory < Note: Pay attention to the case used. "Toolbar" and "toolbar" are different from "ToolBar"! To remove a tooltip, use the \|:tunmenu\| command. The 'toolbar' option can be used to display text instead of a bitmap, or both text and a bitmap. Most people use just the bitmap, since the text takes quite a bit of space. POPUP MENU The popup menu pops up where the mouse pointer is. On MS-Windows you activate it by clicking the right mouse button. Then you can select an item with the left mouse button. On Unix the popup menu is used by pressing and holding the right mouse button. The popup menu only appears when the 'mousemodel' has been set to "popup" or "popup_setpos". The difference between the two is that "popup_setpos" moves the cursor to the mouse pointer position. When clicking inside a selection, the selection will be used unmodified. When there is a selection but you click outside of it, the selection is removed. There is a separate popup menu for each mode. Thus there are never grey items like in the normal menus. What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything? 42 Douglas Adams, the only person who knew what this question really was about is now dead, unfortunately. So now you might wonder what the meaning of death is... ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_43.txt\| Using filetypes Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	13.53 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_43.txt usr_43.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2015 Oct 23 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Using filetypes When you are editing a file of a certain type, for example a C program or a shell script, you often use the same option settings and mappings. You quickly get tired of manually setting these each time. This chapter explains how to do it automatically. \|43.1\| Plugins for a filetype \|43.2\| Adding a filetype Next chapter: \|usr_44.txt\| Your own syntax highlighted Previous chapter: \|usr_42.txt\| Add new menus Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 43.1 Plugins for a filetype filetype-plugin How to start using filetype plugins has already been discussed here: \|add-filetype-plugin\|. But you probably are not satisfied with the default settings, because they have been kept minimal. Suppose that for C files you want to set the 'softtabstop' option to 4 and define a mapping to insert a three-line comment. You do this with only two steps: your-runtime-dir 1. Create your own runtime directory. On Unix this usually is "~/.vim". In this directory create the "ftplugin" directory: > mkdir ~/.vim mkdir ~/.vim/ftplugin < When you are not on Unix, check the value of the 'runtimepath' option to see where Vim will look for the "ftplugin" directory: > set runtimepath < You would normally use the first directory name (before the first comma). You might want to prepend a directory name to the 'runtimepath' option in your \|vimrc\| file if you don't like the default value. 2. Create the file "~/.vim/ftplugin/c.vim", with the contents: > setlocal softtabstop=4 noremap <buffer> <LocalLeader>c o/*************<CR><CR>/<Esc> let b:undo_ftplugin = "setl softtabstop< \| unmap <buffer> <LocalLeader>c" Try editing a C file. You should notice that the 'softtabstop' option is set to 4. But when you edit another file it's reset to the default zero. That is because the ":setlocal" command was used. This sets the 'softtabstop' option only locally to the buffer. As soon as you edit another buffer, it will be set to the value set for that buffer. For a new buffer it will get the default value or the value from the last ":set" command. Likewise, the mapping for "\c" will disappear when editing another buffer. The ":map <buffer>" command creates a mapping that is local to the current buffer. This works with any mapping command: ":map!", ":vmap", etc. The \|<LocalLeader>\| in the mapping is replaced with the value of the "maplocalleader" variable. The line to set b:undo_ftplugin is for when the filetype is set to another value. In that case you will want to undo your preferences. The b:undo_ftplugin variable is executed as a command. Watch out for characters with a special meaning inside a string, such as a backslash. You can find examples for filetype plugins in this directory: > $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/ More details about writing a filetype plugin can be found here: \|write-plugin\|. ============================================================================== 43.2* Adding a filetype If you are using a type of file that is not recognized by Vim, this is how to get it recognized. You need a runtime directory of your own. See \|your-runtime-dir\| above. Create a file "filetype.vim" which contains an autocommand for your filetype. (Autocommands were explained in section \|40.3\|.) Example: > augroup filetypedetect au BufNewFile,BufRead .xyz setf xyz augroup END This will recognize all files that end in ".xyz" as the "xyz" filetype. The ":augroup" commands put this autocommand in the "filetypedetect" group. This allows removing all autocommands for filetype detection when doing ":filetype off". The "setf" command will set the 'filetype' option to its argument, unless it was set already. This will make sure that 'filetype' isn't set twice. You can use many different patterns to match the name of your file. Directory names can also be included. See \|autocmd-patterns\|. For example, the files under "/usr/share/scripts/" are all "ruby" files, but don't have the expected file name extension. Adding this to the example above: > augroup filetypedetect au BufNewFile,BufRead .xyz setf xyz au BufNewFile,BufRead /usr/share/scripts/* setf ruby augroup END However, if you now edit a file /usr/share/scripts/README.txt, this is not a ruby file. The danger of a pattern ending in "" is that it quickly matches too many files. To avoid trouble with this, put the filetype.vim file in another directory, one that is at the end of 'runtimepath'. For Unix for example, you could use "~/.vim/after/filetype.vim". You now put the detection of text files in ~/.vim/filetype.vim: > augroup filetypedetect au BufNewFile,BufRead .txt setf text augroup END That file is found in 'runtimepath' first. Then use this in ~/.vim/after/filetype.vim, which is found last: > augroup filetypedetect au BufNewFile,BufRead /usr/share/scripts/* setf ruby augroup END What will happen now is that Vim searches for "filetype.vim" files in each directory in 'runtimepath'. First ~/.vim/filetype.vim is found. The autocommand to catch .txt files is defined there. Then Vim finds the filetype.vim file in $VIMRUNTIME, which is halfway 'runtimepath'. Finally ~/.vim/after/filetype.vim is found and the autocommand for detecting ruby files in /usr/share/scripts is added. When you now edit /usr/share/scripts/README.txt, the autocommands are checked in the order in which they were defined. The .txt pattern matches, thus "setf text" is executed to set the filetype to "text". The pattern for ruby matches too, and the "setf ruby" is executed. But since 'filetype' was already set to "text", nothing happens here. When you edit the file /usr/share/scripts/foobar the same autocommands are checked. Only the one for ruby matches and "setf ruby" sets 'filetype' to ruby. RECOGNIZING BY CONTENTS If your file cannot be recognized by its file name, you might be able to recognize it by its contents. For example, many script files start with a line like: #!/bin/xyz ~ To recognize this script create a file "scripts.vim" in your runtime directory (same place where filetype.vim goes). It might look like this: > if did_filetype() finish endif if getline(1) =~ '^#!.*[/\\]xyz\>' setf xyz endif The first check with did_filetype() is to avoid that you will check the contents of files for which the filetype was already detected by the file name. That avoids wasting time on checking the file when the "setf" command won't do anything. The scripts.vim file is sourced by an autocommand in the default filetype.vim file. Therefore, the order of checks is: 1. filetype.vim files before $VIMRUNTIME in 'runtimepath' 2. first part of $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim 3. all scripts.vim files in 'runtimepath' 4. remainder of $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim 5. filetype.vim files after $VIMRUNTIME in 'runtimepath' If this is not sufficient for you, add an autocommand that matches all files and sources a script or executes a function to check the contents of the file. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_44.txt\| Your own syntax highlighted Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	7.24 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_44.txt usr_44.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2017 May 06 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Your own syntax highlighted Vim comes with highlighting for a couple of hundred different file types. If the file you are editing isn't included, read this chapter to find out how to get this type of file highlighted. Also see \|:syn-define\| in the reference manual. \|44.1\| Basic syntax commands \|44.2\| Keywords \|44.3\| Matches \|44.4\| Regions \|44.5\| Nested items \|44.6\| Following groups \|44.7\| Other arguments \|44.8\| Clusters \|44.9\| Including another syntax file \|44.10\| Synchronizing \|44.11\| Installing a syntax file \|44.12\| Portable syntax file layout Next chapter: \|usr_45.txt\| Select your language Previous chapter: \|usr_43.txt\| Using filetypes Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 44.1 Basic syntax commands Using an existing syntax file to start with will save you a lot of time. Try finding a syntax file in $VIMRUNTIME/syntax for a language that is similar. These files will also show you the normal layout of a syntax file. To understand it, you need to read the following. Let's start with the basic arguments. Before we start defining any new syntax, we need to clear out any old definitions: > :syntax clear This isn't required in the final syntax file, but very useful when experimenting. There are more simplifications in this chapter. If you are writing a syntax file to be used by others, read all the way through the end to find out the details. LISTING DEFINED ITEMS To check which syntax items are currently defined, use this command: > :syntax You can use this to check which items have actually been defined. Quite useful when you are experimenting with a new syntax file. It also shows the colors used for each item, which helps to find out what is what. To list the items in a specific syntax group use: > :syntax list {group-name} This also can be used to list clusters (explained in \|44.8\|). Just include the @ in the name. MATCHING CASE Some languages are not case sensitive, such as Pascal. Others, such as C, are case sensitive. You need to tell which type you have with the following commands: > :syntax case match :syntax case ignore The "match" argument means that Vim will match the case of syntax elements. Therefore, "int" differs from "Int" and "INT". If the "ignore" argument is used, the following are equivalent: "Procedure", "PROCEDURE" and "procedure". The ":syntax case" commands can appear anywhere in a syntax file and affect the syntax definitions that follow. In most cases, you have only one ":syntax case" command in your syntax file; if you work with an unusual language that contains both case-sensitive and non-case-sensitive elements, however, you can scatter the ":syntax case" command throughout the file. ============================================================================== 44.2 Keywords The most basic syntax elements are keywords. To define a keyword, use the following form: > :syntax keyword {group} {keyword} ... The {group} is the name of a syntax group. With the ":highlight" command you can assign colors to a {group}. The {keyword} argument is an actual keyword. Here are a few examples: > :syntax keyword xType int long char :syntax keyword xStatement if then else endif This example uses the group names "xType" and "xStatement". By convention, each group name is prefixed by the filetype for the language being defined. This example defines syntax for the x language (eXample language without an interesting name). In a syntax file for "csh" scripts the name "cshType" would be used. Thus the prefix is equal to the value of 'filetype'. These commands cause the words "int", "long" and "char" to be highlighted one way and the words "if", "then", "else" and "endif" to be highlighted another way. Now you need to connect the x group names to standard Vim names. You do this with the following commands: > :highlight link xType Type :highlight link xStatement Statement This tells Vim to highlight "xType" like "Type" and "xStatement" like "Statement". See \|group-name\| for the standard names. UNUSUAL KEYWORDS The characters used in a keyword must be in the 'iskeyword' option. If you use another character, the word will never match. Vim doesn't give a warning message for this. The x language uses the '-' character in keywords. This is how it's done: > :setlocal iskeyword+=- :syntax keyword xStatement when-not The ":setlocal" command is used to change 'iskeyword' only for the current buffer. Still it does change the behavior of commands like "w" and "". If that is not wanted, don't define a keyword but use a match (explained in the next section). The x language allows for abbreviations. For example, "next" can be abbreviated to "n", "ne" or "nex". You can define them by using this command: > :syntax keyword xStatement n[ext] This doesn't match "nextone", keywords always match whole words only. ============================================================================== 44.3* Matches Consider defining something a bit more complex. You want to match ordinary identifiers. To do this, you define a match syntax item. This one matches any word consisting of only lowercase letters: > :syntax match xIdentifier /\<\l\+\>/ < Note: Keywords overrule any other syntax item. Thus the keywords "if", "then", etc., will be keywords, as defined with the ":syntax keyword" commands above, even though they also match the pattern for xIdentifier. The part at the end is a pattern, like it's used for searching. The // is used to surround the pattern (like how it's done in a ":substitute" command). You can use any other character, like a plus or a quote. Now define a match for a comment. In the x language it is anything from # to the end of a line: > :syntax match xComment /#./ Since you can use any search pattern, you can highlight very complex things with a match item. See \|pattern\| for help on search patterns. ============================================================================== 44.4* Regions In the example x language, strings are enclosed in double quotation marks ("). To highlight strings you define a region. You need a region start (double quote) and a region end (double quote). The definition is as follows: > :syntax region xString start=/"/ end=/"/ The "start" and "end" directives define the patterns used to find the start and end of the region. But what about strings that look like this? "A string with a double quote (\") in it" ~ This creates a problem: The double quotation marks in the middle of the string will end the region. You need to tell Vim to skip over any escaped double quotes in the string. Do this with the skip keyword: > :syntax region xString start=/"/ skip=/\\"/ end=/"/ The double backslash matches a single backslash, since the backslash is a special character in search patterns. When to use a region instead of a match? The main difference is that a match item is a single pattern, which must match as a whole. A region starts as soon as the "start" pattern matches. Whether the "end" pattern is found or not doesn't matter. Thus when the item depends on the "end" pattern to match, you cannot use a region. Otherwise, regions are often simpler to define. And it is easier to use nested items, as is explained in the next section. ============================================================================== 44.5 Nested items Take a look at this comment: %Get input TODO: Skip white space ~ You want to highlight TODO in big yellow letters, even though it is in a comment that is highlighted blue. To let Vim know about this, you define the following syntax groups: > :syntax keyword xTodo TODO contained :syntax match xComment /%./ contains=xTodo In the first line, the "contained" argument tells Vim that this keyword can exist only inside another syntax item. The next line has "contains=xTodo". This indicates that the xTodo syntax element is inside it. The result is that the comment line as a whole is matched with "xComment" and made blue. The word TODO inside it is matched by xTodo and highlighted yellow (highlighting for xTodo was setup for this). RECURSIVE NESTING The x language defines code blocks in curly braces. And a code block may contain other code blocks. This can be defined this way: > :syntax region xBlock start=/{/ end=/}/ contains=xBlock Suppose you have this text: while i < b { ~ if a { ~ b = c; ~ } ~ } ~ First a xBlock starts at the { in the first line. In the second line another { is found. Since we are inside a xBlock item, and it contains itself, a nested xBlock item will start here. Thus the "b = c" line is inside the second level xBlock region. Then a } is found in the next line, which matches with the end pattern of the region. This ends the nested xBlock. Because the } is included in the nested region, it is hidden from the first xBlock region. Then at the last } the first xBlock region ends. KEEPING THE END Consider the following two syntax items: > :syntax region xComment start=/%/ end=/$/ contained :syntax region xPreProc start=/#/ end=/$/ contains=xComment You define a comment as anything from % to the end of the line. A preprocessor directive is anything from # to the end of the line. Because you can have a comment on a preprocessor line, the preprocessor definition includes a "contains=xComment" argument. Now look what happens with this text: #define X = Y % Comment text ~ int foo = 1; ~ What you see is that the second line is also highlighted as xPreProc. The preprocessor directive should end at the end of the line. That is why you have used "end=/$/". So what is going wrong? The problem is the contained comment. The comment starts with % and ends at the end of the line. After the comment ends, the preprocessor syntax continues. This is after the end of the line has been seen, so the next line is included as well. To avoid this problem and to avoid a contained syntax item eating a needed end of line, use the "keepend" argument. This takes care of the double end-of-line matching: > :syntax region xComment start=/%/ end=/$/ contained :syntax region xPreProc start=/#/ end=/$/ contains=xComment keepend CONTAINING MANY ITEMS You can use the contains argument to specify that everything can be contained. For example: > :syntax region xList start=/\[/ end=/\]/ contains=ALL All syntax items will be contained in this one. It also contains itself, but not at the same position (that would cause an endless loop). You can specify that some groups are not contained. Thus contain all groups but the ones that are listed: > :syntax region xList start=/\[/ end=/\]/ contains=ALLBUT,xString With the "TOP" item you can include all items that don't have a "contained" argument. "CONTAINED" is used to only include items with a "contained" argument. See \|:syn-contains\| for the details. ============================================================================== 44.6* Following groups The x language has statements in this form: if (condition) then ~ You want to highlight the three items differently. But "(condition)" and "then" might also appear in other places, where they get different highlighting. This is how you can do this: > :syntax match xIf /if/ nextgroup=xIfCondition skipwhite :syntax match xIfCondition /([^)])/ contained nextgroup=xThen skipwhite :syntax match xThen /then/ contained The "nextgroup" argument specifies which item can come next. This is not required. If none of the items that are specified are found, nothing happens. For example, in this text: if not (condition) then ~ The "if" is matched by xIf. "not" doesn't match the specified nextgroup xIfCondition, thus only the "if" is highlighted. The "skipwhite" argument tells Vim that white space (spaces and tabs) may appear in between the items. Similar arguments are "skipnl", which allows a line break in between the items, and "skipempty", which allows empty lines. Notice that "skipnl" doesn't skip an empty line, something must match after the line break. ============================================================================== 44.7* Other arguments MATCHGROUP When you define a region, the entire region is highlighted according to the group name specified. To highlight the text enclosed in parentheses () with the group xInside, for example, use the following command: > :syntax region xInside start=/(/ end=/)/ Suppose, that you want to highlight the parentheses differently. You can do this with a lot of convoluted region statements, or you can use the "matchgroup" argument. This tells Vim to highlight the start and end of a region with a different highlight group (in this case, the xParen group): > :syntax region xInside matchgroup=xParen start=/(/ end=/)/ The "matchgroup" argument applies to the start or end match that comes after it. In the previous example both start and end are highlighted with xParen. To highlight the end with xParenEnd: > :syntax region xInside matchgroup=xParen start=/(/ \ matchgroup=xParenEnd end=/)/ A side effect of using "matchgroup" is that contained items will not match in the start or end of the region. The example for "transparent" uses this. TRANSPARENT In a C language file you would like to highlight the () text after a "while" differently from the () text after a "for". In both of these there can be nested () items, which should be highlighted in the same way. You must make sure the () highlighting stops at the matching ). This is one way to do this: > :syntax region cWhile matchgroup=cWhile start=/while\s(/ end=/)/ \ contains=cCondNest :syntax region cFor matchgroup=cFor start=/for\s(/ end=/)/ \ contains=cCondNest :syntax region cCondNest start=/(/ end=/)/ contained transparent Now you can give cWhile and cFor different highlighting. The cCondNest item can appear in either of them, but take over the highlighting of the item it is contained in. The "transparent" argument causes this. Notice that the "matchgroup" argument has the same group as the item itself. Why define it then? Well, the side effect of using a matchgroup is that contained items are not found in the match with the start item then. This avoids that the cCondNest group matches the ( just after the "while" or "for". If this would happen, it would span the whole text until the matching ) and the region would continue after it. Now cCondNest only matches after the match with the start pattern, thus after the first (. OFFSETS Suppose you want to define a region for the text between ( and ) after an "if". But you don't want to include the "if" or the ( and ). You can do this by specifying offsets for the patterns. Example: > :syntax region xCond start=/if\s(/ms=e+1 end=/)/me=s-1 The offset for the start pattern is "ms=e+1". "ms" stands for Match Start. This defines an offset for the start of the match. Normally the match starts where the pattern matches. "e+1" means that the match now starts at the end of the pattern match, and then one character further. The offset for the end pattern is "me=s-1". "me" stands for Match End. "s-1" means the start of the pattern match and then one character back. The result is that in this text: if (foo == bar) ~ Only the text "foo == bar" will be highlighted as xCond. More about offsets here: \|:syn-pattern-offset\|. ONELINE The "oneline" argument indicates that the region does not cross a line boundary. For example: > :syntax region xIfThen start=/if/ end=/then/ oneline This defines a region that starts at "if" and ends at "then". But if there is no "then" after the "if", the region doesn't match. Note: When using "oneline" the region doesn't start if the end pattern doesn't match in the same line. Without "oneline" Vim does _not_ check if there is a match for the end pattern. The region starts even when the end pattern doesn't match in the rest of the file. CONTINUATION LINES AND AVOIDING THEM Things now become a little more complex. Let's define a preprocessor line. This starts with a # in the first column and continues until the end of the line. A line that ends with \ makes the next line a continuation line. The way you handle this is to allow the syntax item to contain a continuation pattern: > :syntax region xPreProc start=/^#/ end=/$/ contains=xLineContinue :syntax match xLineContinue "\\$" contained In this case, although xPreProc normally matches a single line, the group contained in it (namely xLineContinue) lets it go on for more than one line. For example, it would match both of these lines: #define SPAM spam spam spam \ ~ bacon and spam ~ In this case, this is what you want. If it is not what you want, you can call for the region to be on a single line by adding "excludenl" to the contained pattern. For example, you want to highlight "end" in xPreProc, but only at the end of the line. To avoid making the xPreProc continue on the next line, like xLineContinue does, use "excludenl" like this: > :syntax region xPreProc start=/^#/ end=/$/ \ contains=xLineContinue,xPreProcEnd :syntax match xPreProcEnd excludenl /end$/ contained :syntax match xLineContinue "\\$" contained "excludenl" must be placed before the pattern. Since "xLineContinue" doesn't have "excludenl", a match with it will extend xPreProc to the next line as before. ============================================================================== 44.8* Clusters One of the things you will notice as you start to write a syntax file is that you wind up generating a lot of syntax groups. Vim enables you to define a collection of syntax groups called a cluster. Suppose you have a language that contains for loops, if statements, while loops, and functions. Each of them contains the same syntax elements: numbers and identifiers. You define them like this: > :syntax match xFor /^for./ contains=xNumber,xIdent :syntax match xIf /^if./ contains=xNumber,xIdent :syntax match xWhile /^while./ contains=xNumber,xIdent You have to repeat the same "contains=" every time. If you want to add another contained item, you have to add it three times. Syntax clusters simplify these definitions by enabling you to have one cluster stand for several syntax groups. To define a cluster for the two items that the three groups contain, use the following command: > :syntax cluster xState contains=xNumber,xIdent Clusters are used inside other syntax items just like any syntax group. Their names start with @. Thus, you can define the three groups like this: > :syntax match xFor /^for./ contains=@xState :syntax match xIf /^if./ contains=@xState :syntax match xWhile /^while./ contains=@xState You can add new group names to this cluster with the "add" argument: > :syntax cluster xState add=xString You can remove syntax groups from this list as well: > :syntax cluster xState remove=xNumber ============================================================================== 44.9 Including another syntax file The C++ language syntax is a superset of the C language. Because you do not want to write two syntax files, you can have the C++ syntax file read in the one for C by using the following command: > :runtime! syntax/c.vim The ":runtime!" command searches 'runtimepath' for all "syntax/c.vim" files. This makes the C parts of the C++ syntax be defined like for C files. If you have replaced the c.vim syntax file, or added items with an extra file, these will be loaded as well. After loading the C syntax items the specific C++ items can be defined. For example, add keywords that are not used in C: > :syntax keyword cppStatement new delete this friend using This works just like in any other syntax file. Now consider the Perl language. A Perl script consists of two distinct parts: a documentation section in POD format, and a program written in Perl itself. The POD section starts with "=head" and ends with "=cut". You want to define the POD syntax in one file, and use it from the Perl syntax file. The ":syntax include" command reads in a syntax file and stores the elements it defined in a syntax cluster. For Perl, the statements are as follows: > :syntax include @Pod <sfile>:p:h/pod.vim :syntax region perlPOD start=/^=head/ end=/^=cut/ contains=@Pod When "=head" is found in a Perl file, the perlPOD region starts. In this region the @Pod cluster is contained. All the items defined as top-level items in the pod.vim syntax files will match here. When "=cut" is found, the region ends and we go back to the items defined in the Perl file. The ":syntax include" command is clever enough to ignore a ":syntax clear" command in the included file. And an argument such as "contains=ALL" will only contain items defined in the included file, not in the file that includes it. The "<sfile>:p:h/" part uses the name of the current file (<sfile>), expands it to a full path (:p) and then takes the head (:h). This results in the directory name of the file. This causes the pod.vim file in the same directory to be included. ============================================================================== 44.10 Synchronizing Compilers have it easy. They start at the beginning of a file and parse it straight through. Vim does not have it so easy. It must start in the middle, where the editing is being done. So how does it tell where it is? The secret is the ":syntax sync" command. This tells Vim how to figure out where it is. For example, the following command tells Vim to scan backward for the beginning or end of a C-style comment and begin syntax coloring from there: > :syntax sync ccomment You can tune this processing with some arguments. The "minlines" argument tells Vim the minimum number of lines to look backward, and "maxlines" tells the editor the maximum number of lines to scan. For example, the following command tells Vim to look at least 10 lines before the top of the screen: > :syntax sync ccomment minlines=10 maxlines=500 If it cannot figure out where it is in that space, it starts looking farther and farther back until it figures out what to do. But it looks no farther back than 500 lines. (A large "maxlines" slows down processing. A small one might cause synchronization to fail.) To make synchronizing go a bit faster, tell Vim which syntax items can be skipped. Every match and region that only needs to be used when actually displaying text can be given the "display" argument. By default, the comment to be found will be colored as part of the Comment syntax group. If you want to color things another way, you can specify a different syntax group: > :syntax sync ccomment xAltComment If your programming language does not have C-style comments in it, you can try another method of synchronization. The simplest way is to tell Vim to space back a number of lines and try to figure out things from there. The following command tells Vim to go back 150 lines and start parsing from there: > :syntax sync minlines=150 A large "minlines" value can make Vim slower, especially when scrolling backwards in the file. Finally, you can specify a syntax group to look for by using this command: > :syntax sync match {sync-group-name} \ grouphere {group-name} {pattern} This tells Vim that when it sees {pattern} the syntax group named {group-name} begins just after the pattern given. The {sync-group-name} is used to give a name to this synchronization specification. For example, the sh scripting language begins an if statement with "if" and ends it with "fi": if [ --f file.txt ] ; then ~ echo "File exists" ~ fi ~ To define a "grouphere" directive for this syntax, you use the following command: > :syntax sync match shIfSync grouphere shIf "\<if\>" The "groupthere" argument tells Vim that the pattern ends a group. For example, the end of the if/fi group is as follows: > :syntax sync match shIfSync groupthere NONE "\<fi\>" In this example, the NONE tells Vim that you are not in any special syntax region. In particular, you are not inside an if block. You also can define matches and regions that are with no "grouphere" or "groupthere" arguments. These groups are for syntax groups skipped during synchronization. For example, the following skips over anything inside {}, even if it would normally match another synchronization method: > :syntax sync match xSpecial /{.}/ More about synchronizing in the reference manual: \|:syn-sync\|. ============================================================================== 44.11* Installing a syntax file When your new syntax file is ready to be used, drop it in a "syntax" directory in 'runtimepath'. For Unix that would be "~/.vim/syntax". The name of the syntax file must be equal to the file type, with ".vim" added. Thus for the x language, the full path of the file would be: ~/.vim/syntax/x.vim ~ You must also make the file type be recognized. See \|43.2\|. If your file works well, you might want to make it available to other Vim users. First read the next section to make sure your file works well for others. Then e-mail it to the Vim maintainer: <maintainer@vim.org>. Also explain how the filetype can be detected. With a bit of luck your file will be included in the next Vim version! ADDING TO AN EXISTING SYNTAX FILE We were assuming you were adding a completely new syntax file. When an existing syntax file works, but is missing some items, you can add items in a separate file. That avoids changing the distributed syntax file, which will be lost when installing a new version of Vim. Write syntax commands in your file, possibly using group names from the existing syntax. For example, to add new variable types to the C syntax file: > :syntax keyword cType off_t uint Write the file with the same name as the original syntax file. In this case "c.vim". Place it in a directory near the end of 'runtimepath'. This makes it loaded after the original syntax file. For Unix this would be: ~/.vim/after/syntax/c.vim ~ ============================================================================== 44.12 Portable syntax file layout Wouldn't it be nice if all Vim users exchange syntax files? To make this possible, the syntax file must follow a few guidelines. Start with a header that explains what the syntax file is for, who maintains it and when it was last updated. Don't include too much information about changes history, not many people will read it. Example: > " Vim syntax file " Language: C " Maintainer: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> " Last Change: 2001 Jun 18 " Remark: Included by the C++ syntax. Use the same layout as the other syntax files. Using an existing syntax file as an example will save you a lot of time. Choose a good, descriptive name for your syntax file. Use lowercase letters and digits. Don't make it too long, it is used in many places: The name of the syntax file "name.vim", 'filetype', b:current_syntax and the start of each syntax group (nameType, nameStatement, nameString, etc). Start with a check for "b:current_syntax". If it is defined, some other syntax file, earlier in 'runtimepath' was already loaded: > if exists("b:current_syntax") finish endif Set "b:current_syntax" to the name of the syntax at the end. Don't forget that included files do this too, you might have to reset "b:current_syntax" if you include two files. Do not include anything that is a user preference. Don't set 'tabstop', 'expandtab', etc. These belong in a filetype plugin. Do not include mappings or abbreviations. Only include setting 'iskeyword' if it is really necessary for recognizing keywords. To allow users select their own preferred colors, make a different group name for every kind of highlighted item. Then link each of them to one of the standard highlight groups. That will make it work with every color scheme. If you select specific colors it will look bad with some color schemes. And don't forget that some people use a different background color, or have only eight colors available. For the linking use "hi def link", so that the user can select different highlighting before your syntax file is loaded. Example: > hi def link nameString String hi def link nameNumber Number hi def link nameCommand Statement ... etc ... Add the "display" argument to items that are not used when syncing, to speed up scrolling backwards and CTRL-L. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_45.txt\| Select your language Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	28.27 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_45.txt usr_45.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Jun 11 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Select your language (locale) The messages in Vim can be given in several languages. This chapter explains how to change which one is used. Also, the different ways to work with files in various languages is explained. \|45.1\| Language for Messages \|45.2\| Language for Menus \|45.3\| Using another encoding \|45.4\| Editing files with a different encoding \|45.5\| Entering language text Next chapter: \|usr_46.txt\| Write plugins using Vim9 script Previous chapter: \|usr_44.txt\| Your own syntax highlighted Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 45.1 Language for Messages When you start Vim, it checks the environment to find out what language you are using. Mostly this should work fine, and you get the messages in your language (if they are available). To see what the current language is, use this command: > :language If it replies with "C", this means the default is being used, which is English. Note: Using different languages only works when Vim was compiled to handle it. To find out if it works, use the ":version" command and check the output for "+gettext" and "+multi_lang". If they are there, you are OK. If you see "-gettext" or "-multi_lang" you will have to find another Vim. What if you would like your messages in a different language? There are several ways. Which one you should use depends on the capabilities of your system. The first way is to set the environment to the desired language before starting Vim. Example for Unix: > env LANG=de_DE.ISO_8859-1 vim This only works if the language is available on your system. The advantage is that all the GUI messages and things in libraries will use the right language as well. A disadvantage is that you must do this before starting Vim. If you want to change language while Vim is running, you can use the second method: > :language fr_FR.ISO_8859-1 This way you can try out several names for your language. You will get an error message when it's not supported on your system. You don't get an error when translated messages are not available. Vim will silently fall back to using English. To find out which languages are supported on your system, find the directory where they are listed. On my system it is "/usr/share/locale". On some systems it's in "/usr/lib/locale". The manual page for "setlocale" should give you a hint where it is found on your system. Be careful to type the name exactly as it should be. Upper and lowercase matter, and the '-' and '_' characters are easily confused. You can also set the language separately for messages, edited text and the time format. See \|:language\|. DO-IT-YOURSELF MESSAGE TRANSLATION If translated messages are not available for your language, you could write them yourself. To do this, get the source code for Vim and the GNU gettext package. After unpacking the sources, instructions can be found in the directory src/po/README.txt. It's not too difficult to do the translation. You don't need to be a programmer. You must know both English and the language you are translating to, of course. When you are satisfied with the translation, consider making it available to others. Upload it at vim-online (http://vim.sf.net) or e-mail it to the Vim maintainer <maintainer@vim.org>. Or both. ============================================================================== 45.2 Language for Menus The default menus are in English. To be able to use your local language, they must be translated. Normally this is automatically done for you if the environment is set for your language, just like with messages. You don't need to do anything extra for this. But it only works if translations for the language are available. Suppose you are in Germany, with the language set to German, but prefer to use "File" instead of "Datei". You can switch back to using the English menus this way: > :set langmenu=none It is also possible to specify a language: > :set langmenu=nl_NL.ISO_8859-1 Like above, differences between "-" and "_" matter. However, upper/lowercase differences are ignored here. The 'langmenu' option must be set before the menus are loaded. Once the menus have been defined changing 'langmenu' has no direct effect. Therefore, put the command to set 'langmenu' in your vimrc file. If you really want to switch menu language while running Vim, you can do it this way: > :source $VIMRUNTIME/delmenu.vim :set langmenu=de_DE.ISO_8859-1 :source $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim There is one drawback: All menus that you defined yourself will be gone. You will need to redefine them as well. DO-IT-YOURSELF MENU TRANSLATION To see which menu translations are available, look in this directory: $VIMRUNTIME/lang ~ The files are called menu_{language}.vim. If you don't see the language you want to use, you can do your own translations. The simplest way to do this is by copying one of the existing language files, and change it. First find out the name of your language with the ":language" command. Use this name, but with all letters made lowercase. Then copy the file to your own runtime directory, as found early in 'runtimepath'. For example, for Unix you would do: > :!cp $VIMRUNTIME/lang/menu_ko_kr.euckr.vim ~/.vim/lang/menu_nl_be.iso_8859-1.vim You will find hints for the translation in "$VIMRUNTIME/lang/README.txt". ============================================================================== 45.3 Using another encoding Vim guesses that the files you are going to edit are encoded for your language. For many European languages this is "latin1". Then each byte is one character. That means there are 256 different characters possible. For Asian languages this is not sufficient. These mostly use a double-byte encoding, providing for over ten thousand possible characters. This still isn't enough when a text is to contain several different languages. This is where Unicode comes in. It was designed to include all characters used in commonly used languages. This is the "Super encoding that replaces all others". But it isn't used that much yet. Fortunately, Vim supports these three kinds of encodings. And, with some restrictions, you can use them even when your environment uses another language than the text. Nevertheless, when you only edit files that are in the encoding of your language, the default should work fine and you don't need to do anything. The following is only relevant when you want to edit different languages. USING UNICODE IN THE GUI The nice thing about Unicode is that other encodings can be converted to it and back without losing information. When you make Vim use Unicode internally, you will be able to edit files in any encoding. Unfortunately, the number of systems supporting Unicode is still limited. Thus it's unlikely that your language uses it. You need to tell Vim you want to use Unicode, and how to handle interfacing with the rest of the system. Let's start with the GUI version of Vim, which is able to display Unicode characters. This should work: > :set encoding=utf-8 :set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 The 'encoding' option tells Vim the encoding of the characters that you use. This applies to the text in buffers (files you are editing), registers, Vim script files, etc. You can regard 'encoding' as the setting for the internals of Vim. This example assumes you have this font on your system. The name in the example is for the X Window System. This font is in a package that is used to enhance xterm with Unicode support. If you don't have this font, you might find it here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz ~ For MS-Windows, some fonts have a limited number of Unicode characters. Try using the "Courier New" font. You can use the Edit/Select Font... menu to select and try out the fonts available. Only fixed-width fonts can be used though. Example: > :set guifont=courier_new:h12 If it doesn't work well, try getting a fontpack. If Microsoft didn't move it, you can find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx ~ Now you have told Vim to use Unicode internally and display text with a Unicode font. Typed characters still arrive in the encoding of your original language. This requires converting them to Unicode. Tell Vim the language from which to convert with the 'termencoding' option. You can do it like this: > :let &termencoding = &encoding :set encoding=utf-8 This assigns the old value of 'encoding' to 'termencoding' before setting 'encoding' to utf-8. You will have to try out if this really works for your setup. It should work especially well when using an input method for an Asian language, and you want to edit Unicode text. USING UNICODE IN A UNICODE TERMINAL There are terminals that support Unicode directly. The standard xterm that comes with XFree86 is one of them. Let's use that as an example. First of all, the xterm must have been compiled with Unicode support. See \|UTF8-xterm\| how to check that and how to compile it when needed. Start the xterm with the "-u8" argument. You might also need so specify a font. Example: > xterm -u8 -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 Now you can run Vim inside this terminal. Set 'encoding' to "utf-8" as before. That's all. USING UNICODE IN AN ORDINARY TERMINAL Suppose you want to work with Unicode files, but don't have a terminal with Unicode support. You can do this with Vim, although characters that are not supported by the terminal will not be displayed. The layout of the text will be preserved. > :let &termencoding = &encoding :set encoding=utf-8 This is the same as what was used for the GUI. But it works differently: Vim will convert the displayed text before sending it to the terminal. That avoids that the display is messed up with strange characters. For this to work the conversion between 'termencoding' and 'encoding' must be possible. Vim will convert from latin1 to Unicode, thus that always works. For other conversions the \|+iconv\| feature is required. Try editing a file with Unicode characters in it. You will notice that Vim will put a question mark (or underscore or some other character) in places where a character should be that the terminal can't display. Move the cursor to a question mark and use this command: > ga Vim will display a line with the code of the character. This gives you a hint about what character it is. You can look it up in a Unicode table. You could actually view a file that way, if you have lots of time at hand. Note: Since 'encoding' is used for all text inside Vim, changing it makes all non-ASCII text invalid. You will notice this when using registers and the 'viminfo' file (e.g., a remembered search pattern). It's recommended to set 'encoding' in your vimrc file, and leave it alone. ============================================================================== 45.4 Editing files with a different encoding Suppose you have setup Vim to use Unicode, and you want to edit a file that is in 16-bit Unicode. Sounds simple, right? Well, Vim actually uses utf-8 encoding internally, thus the 16-bit encoding must be converted, since there is a difference between the character set (Unicode) and the encoding (utf-8 or 16-bit). Vim will try to detect what kind of file you are editing. It uses the encoding names in the 'fileencodings' option. When using Unicode, the default value is: "ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1". This means that Vim checks the file to see if it's one of these encodings: ucs-bom File must start with a Byte Order Mark (BOM). This allows detection of 16-bit, 32-bit and utf-8 Unicode encodings. utf-8 utf-8 Unicode. This is rejected when a sequence of bytes is illegal in utf-8. latin1 The good old 8-bit encoding. Always works. When you start editing that 16-bit Unicode file, and it has a BOM, Vim will detect this and convert the file to utf-8 when reading it. The 'fileencoding' option (without s at the end) is set to the detected value. In this case it is "utf-16le". That means it's Unicode, 16-bit and little-endian. This file format is common on MS-Windows (e.g., for registry files). When writing the file, Vim will compare 'fileencoding' with 'encoding'. If they are different, the text will be converted. An empty value for 'fileencoding' means that no conversion is to be done. Thus the text is assumed to be encoded with 'encoding'. If the default 'fileencodings' value is not good for you, set it to the encodings you want Vim to try. Only when a value is found to be invalid will the next one be used. Putting "latin1" first doesn't work, because it is never illegal. An example, to fall back to Japanese when the file doesn't have a BOM and isn't utf-8: > :set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,sjis See \|encoding-values\| for suggested values. Other values may work as well. This depends on the conversion available. FORCING AN ENCODING If the automatic detection doesn't work you must tell Vim what encoding the file is. Example: > :edit ++enc=koi8-r russian.txt The "++enc" part specifies the name of the encoding to be used for this file only. Vim will convert the file from the specified encoding, Russian in this example, to 'encoding'. 'fileencoding' will also be set to the specified encoding, so that the reverse conversion can be done when writing the file. The same argument can be used when writing the file. This way you can actually use Vim to convert a file. Example: > :write ++enc=utf-8 russian.txt < Note: Conversion may result in lost characters. Conversion from an encoding to Unicode and back is mostly free of this problem, unless there are illegal characters. Conversion from Unicode to other encodings often loses information when there was more than one language in the file. ============================================================================== 45.5 Entering language text Computer keyboards don't have much more than a hundred keys. Some languages have thousands of characters, Unicode has over hundred thousand. So how do you type these characters? First of all, when you don't use too many of the special characters, you can use digraphs. This was already explained in \|24.9\|. When you use a language that uses many more characters than keys on your keyboard, you will want to use an Input Method (IM). This requires learning the translation from typed keys to resulting character. When you need an IM you probably already have one on your system. It should work with Vim like with other programs. For details see \|mbyte-XIM\| for the X Window system and \|mbyte-IME\| for MS-Windows. KEYMAPS For some languages the character set is different from latin, but uses a similar number of characters. It's possible to map keys to characters. Vim uses keymaps for this. Suppose you want to type Hebrew. You can load the keymap like this: > :set keymap=hebrew Vim will try to find a keymap file for you. This depends on the value of 'encoding'. If no matching file was found, you will get an error message. Now you can type Hebrew in Insert mode. In Normal mode, and when typing a ":" command, Vim automatically switches to English. You can use this command to switch between Hebrew and English: > CTRL-^ This only works in Insert mode and Command-line mode. In Normal mode it does something completely different (jumps to alternate file). The usage of the keymap is indicated in the mode message, if you have the 'showmode' option set. In the GUI Vim will indicate the usage of keymaps with a different cursor color. You can also change the usage of the keymap with the 'iminsert' and 'imsearch' options. To see the list of mappings, use this command: > :lmap To find out which keymap files are available, in the GUI you can use the Edit/Keymap menu. Otherwise you can use this command: > :echo globpath(&rtp, "keymap/*.vim") DO-IT-YOURSELF KEYMAPS You can create your own keymap file. It's not very difficult. Start with a keymap file that is similar to the language you want to use. Copy it to the "keymap" directory in your runtime directory. For example, for Unix, you would use the directory "~/.vim/keymap". The name of the keymap file must look like this: keymap/{name}.vim ~ or keymap/{name}_{encoding}.vim ~ {name} is the name of the keymap. Chose a name that is obvious, but different from existing keymaps (unless you want to replace an existing keymap file). {name} cannot contain an underscore. Optionally, add the encoding used after an underscore. Examples: keymap/hebrew.vim ~ keymap/hebrew_utf-8.vim ~ The contents of the file should be self-explanatory. Look at a few of the keymaps that are distributed with Vim. For the details, see \|mbyte-keymap\|. LAST RESORT If all other methods fail, you can enter any character with CTRL-V: encoding type range ~ 8-bit CTRL-V 123 decimal 0-255 8-bit CTRL-V x a1 hexadecimal 00-ff 16-bit CTRL-V u 013b hexadecimal 0000-ffff 31-bit CTRL-V U 001303a4 hexadecimal 00000000-7fffffff Don't type the spaces. See \|i_CTRL-V_digit\| for the details. ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_46.txt\| Write plugins using Vim9 script Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	17.27 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_46.txt usr_46.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Jun 14 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Write plugins using Vim9 script The Vim9 script language is used for writing plugins, especially larger ones that use multiple files. This chapter explains how to split up a plugin into modules, import and export items and keep the rest local. \|46.1\| Introduction \|46.2\| Variable declarations \|46.3\| Functions and types \|46.?\| Using a Vim9 script from legacy script Next chapter: \|usr_90.txt\| Installing Vim Previous chapter: \|usr_45.txt\| Select your language (locale) Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 46.1 Introduction vim9-script-intro Vim9 script was designed to make it easier to write large Vim scripts. It looks more like other script languages, especially Typescript. Also, functions are compiled into instructions that can be executed quickly. This makes Vim9 script a lot faster, up to a 100 times. The basic idea is that a script file has items that are private, only used inside the script file, and items that are exported, used outside of the script file. The exported items can then be used by scripts that import them. That makes very clear what is defined where. Let's start with an example, a script that exports one function and has one private function: > vim9script " This indicates a Vim9 script file. export def GetMessage(): string let result = '' ... result = GetPart(count) ... return result enddef def GetPart(nr: number): string if nr == 4 return 'yes' else return 'no' endif enddef The `vim9script` command must be the very first command in the file. Without it Vim will assume legacy script syntax. The `export def GetMessage(): string` line starts with `export`, meaning that this function can be imported and called by other scripts. The line `def GetPart(...` does not start with `export`, this is a script-local function, it can only be used inside this script file. In the `export def GetMessage(): string` line you will notice the colon and the return type. Vim9 functions, defined with `def`, require specifying the type of arguments and the return type. That way Vim can compile the code efficiently. The GetPart function defines an argument "nr" of type "number". Notice that the assignment `result = GetPart(count)` does not use the `let` command. That is explained in the next section. ============================================================================== 46.2 Variable declarations vim9-declarations In Vim9 script variables are declared once with a `:let` or `:const` command. Assigning a value is done without `:let` and it is not possible to `:unlet` the variable. In most cases you will want to declare the variable and initialize it at the same time: > let myText = 'some text' ... myText = 'other text' The type of the variable will be inferred from the expression. In this case it is a string. If you initialize with a number, then the type is number: > let myNumber = 1234 ... myNumber = 0 If you try to assign a string to this variable, you will get an error: > let myNumber = 'this fails!' In the rare case you want a variable that can take values of any type, you have to specify the type: > let myVar: any = 1234 myVar = 'text also works' You can also declare a variable without assigning a value. In that case Vim will initialize it to zero or empty: > let word: string if condition word = 'yes' else word = 'no' endif Although it's shorter to do: > let word = condition ? 'yes' : 'no' ============================================================================== 46.3 Functions and types Legacy Vim script does have type checking, but this happens at runtime, when the code is executed. And it's permissive, often a computation gives an unexpected value instead of reporting an error. Thus you can define a function and think it's fine, but see a problem only later when it is called: > let s:collected = '' func ExtendAndReturn(add) let s:collected += a:add return s:collected endfunc Can you spot the error? Try this: > echo ExtendAndReturn('text') And you'll see zero. Why? Because in legacy Vim script "+=" will convert the arguments to numbers, and any string without a number results in zero! With `:def` the type checking happens when compiling the function. For that you need to specify the argument types and the return type. Also notice that the argument is used without the "a:" prefix: > let s:collected = '' def ExtendAndReturn(add: string): string s:collected += add return s:collected enddef defcompile Here we use `:defcompile` to do the compilation right away, without it the compilation would happen when the function is called. Vim will tell you what you did wrong: > E1013: type mismatch, expected number but got string Vim9 script is strict, it uses the "+" operator only for numbers and floats. For string concatenation ".." must be used. This avoids mistakes and avoids the automatic conversion that gave a surprising result above. So you change the first line of the function to: > s:collected ..= add And now it works. If the function does not return anything, just leave out the return type: > def ReportResult(result: string) echo 'The result is: ' .. result enddef This is also checked, if you try to return a value you'll get an error. In case you don't care about types or have a function that does work with multiple types, you can use the "any" type: > def Store(key: string, value: any) resultDict[key] = value enddef ============================================================================== 46.? Using a Vim9 script from legacy script source-vim9-script In some cases you have a legacy Vim script where you want to use items from a Vim9 script. For example in your .vimrc you want to initialize a plugin. The best way to do this is to use `:import`. For example: > import Init as NiceInit from 'myNicePlugin.vim' call NiceInit('today') This finds the exported function "Init" in the Vim9 script file and makes it available as script-local item "NiceInit". `:import` always uses the script namespace, even when "s:" is not given. If "myNicePlugin.vim" was already sourced it is not sourced again. Besides avoiding putting any items in the global namespace (where name clashes can cause unexpected errors), this also means the script is sourced only once, no matter how many times items from it are imported. In some cases, e.g. for testing, you may just want to source the Vim9 script. That is OK, but then only global items will be available. The Vim9 script will have to make sure to use a unique name for these global items. Example: > source ~/.vim/extra/myNicePlugin.vim call g:NicePluginTest() ============================================================================== Next chapter: \|usr_90.txt\| Installing Vim Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	6.93 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 usr_90.txt usr_90.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Jun 11 VIM USER MANUAL - by Bram Moolenaar Installing Vim install Before you can use Vim you have to install it. Depending on your system it's simple or easy. This chapter gives a few hints and also explains how upgrading to a new version is done. \|90.1\| Unix \|90.2\| MS-Windows \|90.3\| Upgrading \|90.4\| Common installation issues \|90.5\| Uninstalling Vim Previous chapter: \|usr_46.txt\| Write plugins using Vim9 script Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| ============================================================================== 90.1 Unix First you have to decide if you are going to install Vim system-wide or for a single user. The installation is almost the same, but the directory where Vim is installed in differs. For a system-wide installation the base directory "/usr/local" is often used. But this may be different for your system. Try finding out where other packages are installed. When installing for a single user, you can use your home directory as the base. The files will be placed in subdirectories like "bin" and "shared/vim". FROM A PACKAGE You can get precompiled binaries for many different UNIX systems. There is a long list with links on this page: http://www.vim.org/binaries.html ~ Volunteers maintain the binaries, so they are often out of date. It is a good idea to compile your own UNIX version from the source. Also, creating the editor from the source allows you to control which features are compiled. This does require a compiler though. If you have a Linux distribution, the "vi" program is probably a minimal version of Vim. It doesn't do syntax highlighting, for example. Try finding another Vim package in your distribution, or search on the web site. FROM SOURCES To compile and install Vim, you will need the following: - A C compiler (GCC preferred) - The GZIP program (you can get it from www.gnu.org) - The Vim source and runtime archives To get the Vim archives, look in this file for a mirror near you, this should provide the fastest download: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS ~ Or use the home site ftp.vim.org, if you think it's fast enough. Go to the "unix" directory and you'll find a list of files there. The version number is embedded in the file name. You will want to get the most recent version. You can get the files for Unix in one big archive that contains everything: vim-8.2.tar.bz2 ~ You need the bzip2 program to uncompress it. COMPILING First create a top directory to work in, for example: > mkdir ~/vim cd ~/vim Then unpack the archives there. You can unpack it like this: > tar xf path/vim-8.2.tar.bz2 If your tar command doesn't support bz2 directly: > bzip2 -d -c path/vim-8.2.tar.bz2 \| tar xf - Change "path" to where you have downloaded the file. If you are satisfied with getting the default features, and your environment is setup properly, you should be able to compile Vim with just this: > cd vim82/src make The make program will run configure and compile everything. Further on we will explain how to compile with different features. If there are errors while compiling, carefully look at the error messages. There should be a hint about what went wrong. Hopefully you will be able to correct it. You might have to disable some features to make Vim compile. Look in the Makefile for specific hints for your system. TESTING Now you can check if compiling worked OK: > make test This will run a sequence of test scripts to verify that Vim works as expected. Vim will be started many times and all kinds of text and messages flash by. If it is alright you will finally see: test results: ~ ALL DONE ~ If you get "TEST FAILURE" some test failed. If there are one or two messages about failed tests, Vim might still work, but not perfectly. If you see a lot of error messages or Vim doesn't finish until the end, there must be something wrong. Either try to find out yourself, or find someone who can solve it. You could look in the \|maillist-archive\| for a solution. If everything else fails, you could ask in the vim \|maillist\| if someone can help you. INSTALLING install-home If you want to install in your home directory, edit the Makefile and search for a line: #prefix = $(HOME) ~ Remove the # at the start of the line. When installing for the whole system, Vim has most likely already selected a good installation directory for you. You can also specify one, see below. You need to become root for the following. To install Vim do: > make install That should move all the relevant files to the right place. Now you can try running vim to verify that it works. Use two simple tests to check if Vim can find its runtime files: > :help :syntax enable If this doesn't work, use this command to check where Vim is looking for the runtime files: > :echo $VIMRUNTIME You can also start Vim with the "-V" argument to see what happens during startup: > vim -V Don't forget that the user manual assumes you Vim in a certain way. After installing Vim, follow the instructions at \|not-compatible\| to make Vim work as assumed in this manual. SELECTING FEATURES Vim has many ways to select features. One of the simple ways is to edit the Makefile. There are many directions and examples. Often you can enable or disable a feature by uncommenting a line. An alternative is to run "configure" separately. This allows you to specify configuration options manually. The disadvantage is that you have to figure out what exactly to type. Some of the most interesting configure arguments follow. These can also be enabled from the Makefile. --prefix={directory} Top directory where to install Vim. --with-features=tiny Compile with many features disabled. --with-features=small Compile with some features disabled. --with-features=big Compile with more features enabled. --with-features=huge Compile with most features enabled. See \|+feature-list\| for which feature is enabled in which case. --enable-perlinterp Enable the Perl interface. There are similar arguments for ruby, python and tcl. --disable-gui Do not compile the GUI interface. --without-x Do not compile X-windows features. When both of these are used, Vim will not connect to the X server, which makes startup faster. To see the whole list use: > ./configure --help You can find a bit of explanation for each feature, and links for more information here: \|feature-list\|. For the adventurous, edit the file "feature.h". You can also change the source code yourself! ============================================================================== 90.2 MS-Windows There are two ways to install the Vim program for Microsoft Windows. You can uncompress several archives, or use a self-installing big archive. Most users with fairly recent computers will prefer the second method. For the first one, you will need: - An archive with binaries for Vim. - The Vim runtime archive. - A program to unpack the zip files. To get the Vim archives, look in this file for a mirror near you, this should provide the fastest download: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/MIRRORS ~ Or use the home site ftp.vim.org, if you think it's fast enough. Go to the "pc" directory and you'll find a list of files there. The version number is embedded in the file name. You will want to get the most recent version. We will use "82" here, which is version 8.2. gvim82.exe The self-installing archive. This is all you need for the second method. Just launch the executable, and follow the prompts. For the first method you must choose one of the binary archives. These are available: gvim82.zip The normal MS-Windows GUI version. gvim82ole.zip The MS-Windows GUI version with OLE support. Uses more memory, supports interfacing with other OLE applications. vim82w32.zip 32 bit MS-Windows console version. You only need one of them. Although you could install both a GUI and a console version. You always need to get the archive with runtime files. vim82rt.zip The runtime files. Use your un-zip program to unpack the files. For example, using the "unzip" program: > cd c:\ unzip path\gvim82.zip unzip path\vim82rt.zip This will unpack the files in the directory "c:\vim\vim82". If you already have a "vim" directory somewhere, you will want to move to the directory just above it. Now change to the "vim\vim82" directory and run the install program: > install Carefully look through the messages and select the options you want to use. If you finally select "do it" the install program will carry out the actions you selected. The install program doesn't move the runtime files. They remain where you unpacked them. In case you are not satisfied with the features included in the supplied binaries, you could try compiling Vim yourself. Get the source archive from the same location as where the binaries are. You need a compiler for which a makefile exists. Microsoft Visual C, MinGW and Cygwin compilers can be used. Check the file src/INSTALLpc.txt for hints. ============================================================================== 90.3 Upgrading If you are running one version of Vim and want to install another, here is what to do. UNIX When you type "make install" the runtime files will be copied to a directory which is specific for this version. Thus they will not overwrite a previous version. This makes it possible to use two or more versions next to each other. The executable "vim" will overwrite an older version. If you don't care about keeping the old version, running "make install" will work fine. You can delete the old runtime files manually. Just delete the directory with the version number in it and all files below it. Example: > rm -rf /usr/local/share/vim/vim74 There are normally no changed files below this directory. If you did change the "filetype.vim" file, for example, you better merge the changes into the new version before deleting it. If you are careful and want to try out the new version for a while before switching to it, install the new version under another name. You need to specify a configure argument. For example: > ./configure --with-vim-name=vim8 Before running "make install", you could use "make -n install" to check that no valuable existing files are overwritten. When you finally decide to switch to the new version, all you need to do is to rename the binary to "vim". For example: > mv /usr/local/bin/vim8 /usr/local/bin/vim MS-WINDOWS Upgrading is mostly equal to installing a new version. Just unpack the files in the same place as the previous version. A new directory will be created, e.g., "vim82", for the files of the new version. Your runtime files, vimrc file, viminfo, etc. will be left alone. If you want to run the new version next to the old one, you will have to do some handwork. Don't run the install program, it will overwrite a few files of the old version. Execute the new binaries by specifying the full path. The program should be able to automatically find the runtime files for the right version. However, this won't work if you set the $VIMRUNTIME variable somewhere. If you are satisfied with the upgrade, you can delete the files of the previous version. See \|90.5\|. ============================================================================== 90.4 Common installation issues This section describes some of the common problems that occur when installing Vim and suggests some solutions. It also contains answers to many installation questions. Q: I Do Not Have Root Privileges. How Do I Install Vim? (Unix) Use the following configuration command to install Vim in a directory called $HOME/vim: > ./configure --prefix=$HOME This gives you a personal copy of Vim. You need to put $HOME/bin in your path to execute the editor. Also see \|install-home\|. Q: The Colors Are Not Right on My Screen. (Unix) Check your terminal settings by using the following command in a shell: > echo $TERM If the terminal type listed is not correct, fix it. For more hints, see \|06.2\|. Another solution is to always use the GUI version of Vim, called gvim. This avoids the need for a correct terminal setup. Q: My Backspace And Delete Keys Don't Work Right The definition of what key sends what code is very unclear for backspace <BS> and Delete <Del> keys. First of all, check your $TERM setting. If there is nothing wrong with it, try this: > :set t_kb=^V<BS> :set t_kD=^V<Del> In the first line you need to press CTRL-V and then hit the backspace key. In the second line you need to press CTRL-V and then hit the Delete key. You can put these lines in your vimrc file, see \|05.1\|. A disadvantage is that it won't work when you use another terminal some day. Look here for alternate solutions: \|:fixdel\|. Q: I Am Using RedHat Linux. Can I Use the Vim That Comes with the System? By default RedHat installs a minimal version of Vim. Check your RPM packages for something named "Vim-enhanced-version.rpm" and install that. Q: How Do I Turn Syntax Coloring On? How do I make plugins work? Use the example vimrc script. You can find an explanation on how to use it here: \|not-compatible\|. See chapter 6 for information about syntax highlighting: \|usr_06.txt\|. Q: What Is a Good vimrc File to Use? See the www.vim.org Web site for several good examples. Q: Where Do I Find a Good Vim Plugin? See the Vim-online site: http://vim.sf.net. Many users have uploaded useful Vim scripts and plugins there. Q: Where Do I Find More Tips? See the Vim-online site: http://vim.sf.net. There is an archive with hints from Vim users. You might also want to search in the \|maillist-archive\|. ============================================================================== 90.5 Uninstalling Vim In the unlikely event you want to uninstall Vim completely, this is how you do it. UNIX When you installed Vim as a package, check your package manager to find out how to remove the package again. If you installed Vim from sources you can use this command: > make uninstall However, if you have deleted the original files or you used an archive that someone supplied, you can't do this. Do delete the files manually, here is an example for when "/usr/local" was used as the root: > rm -rf /usr/local/share/vim/vim82 rm /usr/local/bin/eview rm /usr/local/bin/evim rm /usr/local/bin/ex rm /usr/local/bin/gview rm /usr/local/bin/gvim rm /usr/local/bin/gvim rm /usr/local/bin/gvimdiff rm /usr/local/bin/rgview rm /usr/local/bin/rgvim rm /usr/local/bin/rview rm /usr/local/bin/rvim rm /usr/local/bin/rvim rm /usr/local/bin/view rm /usr/local/bin/vim rm /usr/local/bin/vimdiff rm /usr/local/bin/vimtutor rm /usr/local/bin/xxd rm /usr/local/man/man1/eview.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/evim.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/ex.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/gview.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/gvim.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/gvimdiff.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/rgview.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/rgvim.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/rview.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/rvim.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/view.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/vim.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/vimdiff.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/vimtutor.1 rm /usr/local/man/man1/xxd.1 MS-WINDOWS If you installed Vim with the self-installing archive you can run the "uninstall-gui" program located in the same directory as the other Vim programs, e.g. "c:\vim\vim82". You can also launch it from the Start menu if installed the Vim entries there. This will remove most of the files, menu entries and desktop shortcuts. Some files may remain however, as they need a Windows restart before being deleted. You will be given the option to remove the whole "vim" directory. It probably contains your vimrc file and other runtime files that you created, so be careful. Else, if you installed Vim with the zip archives, the preferred way is to use the "uninstall" program. You can find it in the same directory as the "install" program, e.g., "c:\vim\vim82". This should also work from the usual "install/remove software" page. However, this only removes the registry entries for Vim. You have to delete the files yourself. Simply select the directory "vim\vim82" and delete it recursively. There should be no files there that you changed, but you might want to check that first. The "vim" directory probably contains your vimrc file and other runtime files that you created. You might want to keep that. ============================================================================== Table of contents: \|usr_toc.txt\| Copyright: see \|manual-copyright\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	16.44 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

📄 various.txt various.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Mar 02 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Various commands various 1. Various commands \|various-cmds\| 2. Using Vim like less or more \|less\| ============================================================================== 1. Various commands various-cmds CTRL-L CTRL-L Clear and redraw the screen. The redraw may happen later, after processing typeahead. :redr :redraw :redr[aw][!] Redraw the screen right now. When ! is included it is cleared first. Useful to update the screen halfway executing a script or function. Also when halfway a mapping and 'lazyredraw' is set. :redraws :redrawstatus :redraws[tatus][!] Redraw the status line of the current window. When ! is included all status lines are redrawn. Useful to update the status line(s) when 'statusline' includes an item that doesn't cause automatic updating. :redrawt :redrawtabline :redrawt[abline] Redraw the tabline. Useful to update the tabline when 'tabline' includes an item that doesn't trigger automatic updating. N<Del> <Del> When entering a number: Remove the last digit. Note: if you like to use <BS> for this, add this mapping to your .vimrc: > :map CTRL-V <BS> CTRL-V <Del> < See \|:fixdel\| if your <Del> key does not do what you want. :as[cii] or ga :as :ascii ga Print the ascii value of the character under the cursor in decimal, hexadecimal and octal. Mnemonic: Get Ascii value. For example, when the cursor is on a 'R': <R> 82, Hex 52, Octal 122 ~ When the character is a non-standard ASCII character, but printable according to the 'isprint' option, the non-printable version is also given. When the character is larger than 127, the <M-x> form is also printed. For example: <~A> <M-^A> 129, Hex 81, Octal 201 ~ <p> <\|~> <M-~> 254, Hex fe, Octal 376 ~ (where <p> is a special character) The <Nul> character in a file is stored internally as <NL>, but it will be shown as: <^@> 0, Hex 00, Octal 000 ~ If the character has composing characters these are also shown. The value of 'maxcombine' doesn't matter. If the character can be inserted as a digraph, also output the two characters that can be used to create the character: <ö> 246, Hex 00f6, Oct 366, Digr o: ~ This shows you can type CTRL-K o : to insert ö. g8 g8 Print the hex values of the bytes used in the character under the cursor, assuming it is in \|UTF-8\| encoding. This also shows composing characters. The value of 'maxcombine' doesn't matter. Example of a character with two composing characters: e0 b8 81 + e0 b8 b9 + e0 b9 89 ~ 8g8 8g8 Find an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence at or after the cursor. This works in two situations: 1. when 'encoding' is any 8-bit encoding 2. when 'encoding' is "utf-8" and 'fileencoding' is any 8-bit encoding Thus it can be used when editing a file that was supposed to be UTF-8 but was read as if it is an 8-bit encoding because it contains illegal bytes. Does not wrap around the end of the file. Note that when the cursor is on an illegal byte or the cursor is halfway a multibyte character the command won't move the cursor. :p :pr :print E749 :[range]p[rint] [flags] Print [range] lines (default current line). Note: If you are looking for a way to print your text on paper see \|:hardcopy\|. In the GUI you can use the File.Print menu entry. See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. The \|:filter\| command can be used to only show lines matching a pattern. :[range]p[rint] {count} [flags] Print {count} lines, starting with [range] (default current line \|cmdline-ranges\|). See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. :P :Print :[range]P[rint] [count] [flags] Just as ":print". Was apparently added to Vi for people that keep the shift key pressed too long... Note: A user command can overrule this command. See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. :l :list :[range]l[ist] [count] [flags] Same as :print, but display unprintable characters with '^' and put $ after the line. This can be further changed with the 'listchars' option. See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. :nu :number :[range]nu[mber] [count] [flags] Same as :print, but precede each line with its line number. (See also 'highlight' and 'numberwidth' option). See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. :# :[range]# [count] [flags] synonym for :number. :#! :#!{anything} Ignored, so that you can start a Vim script with: > #!vim -S echo "this is a Vim script" quit < :z E144 :[range]z[+-^.=][count] Display several lines of text surrounding the line specified with [range], or around the current line if there is no [range]. If there is a [count], that's how many lines you'll see; if there is no [count] and only one window then twice the value of the 'scroll' option is used, otherwise the current window height minus 3 is used. This is the value of "scr" in the table below. If there is a [count] the 'window' option is set to its value. :z can be used either alone or followed by any of several marks. These have the following effect: mark first line last line new cursor line ~ ---- ---------- --------- ------------ + current line 1 scr forward 1 scr forward - 1 scr back current line current line ^ 2 scr back 1 scr back 1 scr back . 1/2 scr back 1/2 scr fwd 1/2 scr fwd = 1/2 scr back 1/2 scr fwd current line Specifying no mark at all is the same as "+". If the mark is "=", a line of dashes is printed around the current line. :[range]z#[+-^.=][count] :z# Like ":z", but number the lines. := := [flags] Print the last line number. See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. :{range}= [flags] Prints the last line number in {range}. For example, this prints the current line number: > :.= < See \|ex-flags\| for [flags]. :norm[al][!] {commands} :norm :normal Execute Normal mode commands {commands}. This makes it possible to execute Normal mode commands typed on the command-line. {commands} are executed like they are typed. For undo all commands are undone together. Execution stops when an error is encountered. If the [!] is given, mappings will not be used. Without it, when this command is called from a non-remappable mapping (\|:noremap\|), the argument can be mapped anyway. {commands} should be a complete command. If {commands} does not finish a command, the last one will be aborted as if <Esc> or <C-C> was typed. This implies that an insert command must be completed (to start Insert mode, see \|:startinsert\|). A ":" command must be completed as well. And you can't use "Q" or "gQ" to start Ex mode. The display is not updated while ":normal" is busy. {commands} cannot start with a space. Put a count of 1 (one) before it, "1 " is one space. The 'insertmode' option is ignored for {commands}. This command cannot be followed by another command, since any '\|' is considered part of the command. This command can be used recursively, but the depth is limited by 'maxmapdepth'. An alternative is to use \|:execute\|, which uses an expression as argument. This allows the use of printable characters to represent special characters. Example: > :exe "normal \<c-w>\<c-w>" :{range}norm[al][!] {commands} :normal-range Execute Normal mode commands {commands} for each line in the {range}. Before executing the {commands}, the cursor is positioned in the first column of the range, for each line. Otherwise it's the same as the ":normal" command without a range. :sh :shell E371 :sh[ell] This command starts a shell. When the shell exits (after the "exit" command) you return to Vim. The name for the shell command comes from 'shell' option. E360 Note: This doesn't work when Vim on the Amiga was started in QuickFix mode from a compiler, because the compiler will have set stdin to a non-interactive mode. :!cmd :! E34 :!{cmd} Execute {cmd} with the shell. See also the 'shell' and 'shelltype' option. Any '!' in {cmd} is replaced with the previous external command (see also 'cpoptions'). But not when there is a backslash before the '!', then that backslash is removed. Example: ":!ls" followed by ":!echo ! \! \\!" executes "echo ls ! \!". A '\|' in {cmd} is passed to the shell, you cannot use it to append a Vim command. See \|:bar\|. If {cmd} contains "%" it is expanded to the current file name, "#" is expanded to the alternate file name. Special characters in the file name are not escaped, use quotes to avoid their special meaning: > :!ls "%" < If the file name contains a "$" then single quotes might work better, but this only works if the file name does not contain a single quote: > :!ls '%' < This should always work, but it's more typing: > :exe "!ls " . shellescape(expand("%")) < To get a literal "%" or "#" prepend it with a backslash. For example, to list all files starting with "%": > :!ls \%* < A newline character ends {cmd}, what follows is interpreted as a following ":" command. However, if there is a backslash before the newline it is removed and {cmd} continues. It doesn't matter how many backslashes are before the newline, only one is removed. On Unix the command normally runs in a non-interactive shell. If you want an interactive shell to be used (to use aliases) set 'shellcmdflag' to "-ic". For Win32 also see \|:!start\|. After the command has been executed, the timestamp and size of the current file is checked \|timestamp\|. Vim redraws the screen after the command is finished, because it may have printed any text. This requires a hit-enter prompt, so that you can read any messages. To avoid this use: > :silent !{cmd} < The screen is not redrawn then, thus you have to use CTRL-L or ":redraw!" if the command did display something. Also see \|shell-window\|. :!! :!! Repeat last ":!{cmd}". :ve :ver :version :ve[rsion] Print the version number of the editor. If the compiler used understands "__DATE__" the compilation date is mentioned. Otherwise a fixed release-date is shown. The following lines contain information about which features were enabled when Vim was compiled. When there is a preceding '+', the feature is included, when there is a '-' it is excluded. To change this, you have to edit feature.h and recompile Vim. To check for this in an expression, see \|has()\|. Here is an overview of the features. The first column shows the smallest version in which they are included: T tiny (always) S small N normal B big H huge m manually enabled or depends on other features - never, feature was removed (none) system dependent Thus if a feature is marked with "N", it is included in the normal, big and huge versions of Vim. +feature-list +acl \|ACL\| support included +ARP Amiga only: ARP support included B +arabic \|Arabic\| language support B +autochdir support 'autochdir' option T +autocmd \|:autocmd\|, automatic commands H +autoservername Automatically enable \|clientserver\| m +balloon_eval \|balloon-eval\| support in the GUI.

It was removed, because you can now use the ":if" command for version-dependent behavior. :redi :redir :redi[r][!] > {file} Redirect messages to file {file}. The messages which are the output of commands are written to that file, until redirection ends. The messages are also still shown on the screen. When [!] is included, an existing file is overwritten. When [!] is omitted, and {file} exists, this command fails. Only one ":redir" can be active at a time. Calls to ":redir" will close any active redirection before starting redirection to the new target. For recursive use check out \|execute()\|. To stop the messages and commands from being echoed to the screen, put the commands in a function and call it with ":silent call Function()". An alternative is to use the 'verbosefile' option, this can be used in combination with ":redir". :redi[r] >> {file} Redirect messages to file {file}. Append if {file} already exists. :redi[r] @{a-zA-Z} :redi[r] @{a-zA-Z}> Redirect messages to register {a-z}. Append to the contents of the register if its name is given uppercase {A-Z}. The ">" after the register name is optional. :redi[r] @{a-z}>> Append messages to register {a-z}. :redi[r] @> :redi[r] @+> Redirect messages to the selection or clipboard. For backward compatibility, the ">" after the register name can be omitted. See \|quotestar\| and \|quoteplus\|. :redi[r] @>> :redi[r] @+>> Append messages to the selection or clipboard. :redi[r] @"> Redirect messages to the unnamed register. For backward compatibility, the ">" after the register name can be omitted. :redi[r] @">> Append messages to the unnamed register. :redi[r] => {var} Redirect messages to a variable. If the variable doesn't exist, then it is created. If the variable exists, then it is initialized to an empty string. The variable will remain empty until redirection ends. Only string variables can be used. After the redirection starts, if the variable is removed or locked or the variable type is changed, then further command output messages will cause errors. To get the output of one command the \|execute()\| function can be used instead of redirection. :redi[r] =>> {var} Append messages to an existing variable. Only string variables can be used. :redi[r] END End redirecting messages. :filt :filter :filt[er][!] {pat} {command} :filt[er][!] /{pat}/ {command} Restrict the output of {command} to lines matching with {pat}. For example, to list only xml files: > :filter /\.xml$/ oldfiles < If the [!] is given, restrict the output of {command} to lines that do NOT match {pat}. {pat} is a Vim search pattern. Instead of enclosing it in / any non-ID character (see \|'isident'\|) can be used, so long as it does not appear in {pat}. Without the enclosing character the pattern cannot include the bar character. 'ignorecase' is not used. The pattern is matched against the relevant part of the output, not necessarily the whole line. Only some commands support filtering, try it out to check if it works. Some of the commands that support filtering: \|:#\| - filter whole line \|:clist\| - filter by file name or module name \|:command\| - filter by command name \|:files\| - filter by file name \|:highlight\| - filter by highlight group \|:jumps\| - filter by file name \|:let\| - filter by variable name \|:list\| - filter whole line \|:llist\| - filter by file name or module name \|:marks\| - filter by text in the current file, or file name for other files \|:oldfiles\| - filter by file name \|:registers\| - filter by register contents (does not work multi-line) \|:set\| - filter by variable name Only normal messages are filtered, error messages are not. :sil :silent :silent! :sil[ent][!] {command} Execute {command} silently. Normal messages will not be given or added to the message history. When [!] is added, error messages will also be skipped, and commands and mappings will not be aborted when an error is detected. \|v:errmsg\| is still set. When [!] is not used, an error message will cause further messages to be displayed normally. Redirection, started with \|:redir\|, will continue as usual, although there might be small differences. This will allow redirecting the output of a command without seeing it on the screen. Example: > :redir >/tmp/foobar :silent g/Aap/p :redir END < To execute a Normal mode command silently, use the \|:normal\| command. For example, to search for a string without messages: > :silent exe "normal /path\<CR>" < ":silent!" is useful to execute a command that may fail, but the failure is to be ignored. Example: > :let v:errmsg = "" :silent! /^begin :if v:errmsg != "" : ... pattern was not found < ":silent" will also avoid the hit-enter prompt. When using this for an external command, this may cause the screen to be messed up. Use \|CTRL-L\| to clean it up then. ":silent menu ..." defines a menu that will not echo a Command-line command. The command will still produce messages though. Use ":silent" in the command itself to avoid that: ":silent menu .... :silent command". :uns :unsilent :uns[ilent] {command} Execute {command} not silently. Only makes a difference when \|:silent\| was used to get to this command. Use this for giving a message even when \|:silent\| was used. In this example \|:silent\| is used to avoid the message about reading the file and \|:unsilent\| to be able to list the first line of each file. > :silent argdo unsilent echo expand('%') . ": " . getline(1) < :verb :verbose :[count]verb[ose] {command} Execute {command} with 'verbose' set to [count]. If [count] is omitted one is used. ":0verbose" can be used to set 'verbose' to zero. The additional use of ":silent" makes messages generated but not displayed. The combination of ":silent" and ":verbose" can be used to generate messages and check them with \|v:statusmsg\| and friends. For example: > :let v:statusmsg = "" :silent verbose runtime foobar.vim :if v:statusmsg != "" : " foobar.vim could not be found :endif < When concatenating another command, the ":verbose" only applies to the first one: > :4verbose set verbose \| set verbose < verbose=4 ~ verbose=0 ~ For logging verbose messages in a file use the 'verbosefile' option. :verbose-cmd When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing the value of a Vim option or a key map or an abbreviation or a user-defined function or a command or a highlight group or an autocommand will also display where it was last defined. If it was defined manually then there will be no "Last set" message. When it was defined while executing a function, user command or autocommand, the script in which it was defined is reported. {not available when compiled without the \|+eval\| feature} K K Run a program to lookup the keyword under the cursor. The name of the program is given with the 'keywordprg' (kp) option (default is "man"). The keyword is formed of letters, numbers and the characters in 'iskeyword'. The keyword under or right of the cursor is used. The same can be done with the command > :!{program} {keyword} < There is an example of a program to use in the tools directory of Vim. It is called "ref" and does a simple spelling check. Special cases: - If 'keywordprg' begins with ":" it is invoked as a Vim Ex command with [count]. - If 'keywordprg' is empty, the ":help" command is used. It's a good idea to include more characters in 'iskeyword' then, to be able to find more help. - When 'keywordprg' is equal to "man" or starts with ":", a [count] before "K" is inserted after keywordprg and before the keyword. For example, using "2K" while the cursor is on "mkdir", results in: > !man 2 mkdir < - When 'keywordprg' is equal to "man -s", a count before "K" is inserted after the "-s". If there is no count, the "-s" is removed. v_K {Visual}K Like "K", but use the visually highlighted text for the keyword. Only works when the highlighted text is not more than one line. [N]gs gs :sl :sleep :[N]sl[eep] [N][m] Do nothing for [N] seconds. When [m] is included, sleep for [N] milliseconds. The count for "gs" always uses seconds. The default is one second. > :sleep "sleep for one second :5sleep "sleep for five seconds :sleep 100m "sleep for 100 milliseconds 10gs "sleep for ten seconds < Can be interrupted with CTRL-C (CTRL-Break on MS-Windows). "gs" stands for "goto sleep". While sleeping the cursor is positioned in the text, if at a visible position. Also process the received netbeans messages. {only available when compiled with the \|+netbeans_intg\| feature} :sl! :sleep! :[N]sl[eep]! [N] [m] Same as above, but hide the cursor :xrestore :xr :xr[estore] [display] Reinitializes the connection to the X11 server. Useful after the X server restarts, e.g. when running Vim for long time inside screen/tmux and connecting from different machines. [display] should be in the format of the $DISPLAY environment variable (e.g. "localhost:10.0") If [display] is omitted, then it reinitializes the connection to the X11 server using the same value as was used for the previous execution of this command. If the value was never specified, then it uses the value of $DISPLAY environment variable as it was when Vim was started. {only available when compiled with the \|+clipboard\| feature} g_CTRL-A g CTRL-A Only when Vim was compiled with MEM_PROFILING defined (which is very rare): print memory usage statistics. Only useful for debugging Vim. For incrementing in Visual mode see \|v_g_CTRL-A\|. ============================================================================== 2. Using Vim like less or more less If you use the less or more program to view a file, you don't get syntax highlighting. Thus you would like to use Vim instead. You can do this by using the shell script "$VIMRUNTIME/macros/less.sh". This shell script uses the Vim script "$VIMRUNTIME/macros/less.vim". It sets up mappings to simulate the commands that less supports. Otherwise, you can still use the Vim commands. This isn't perfect. For example, when viewing a short file Vim will still use the whole screen. But it works well enough for most uses, and you get syntax highlighting. The "h" key will give you a short overview of the available commands. If you want to set options differently when using less, define the LessInitFunc in your vimrc, for example: > func LessInitFunc() set nocursorcolumn nocursorline endfunc < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	30.37 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 version4.txt version4.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2006 Apr 24 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar This document lists the incompatible differences between Vim 3.0 and Vim 4.0. Although 4.0 is mentioned here, this is also for version 4.1, 4.2, etc.. This file is important for everybody upgrading from Vim 3.0. Read it carefully to avoid unexpected problems. 'backup' option default changed \|backup-changed\| Extension for backup file changed \|backup-extension\| Structure of swap file changed \|swapfile-changed\| "-w scriptout" argument changed \|scriptout-changed\| Backspace and Delete keys \|backspace-delete\| Escape for \| changed \|escape-bar\| Key codes changed \|key-codes-changed\| Terminal options changed \|termcap-changed\| 'errorformat' option changed \|errorformat-changed\| 'graphic' option gone \|graphic-option-gone\| 'yankendofline' option gone \|ye-option-gone\| 'icon' and 'title' default value changed \|icon-changed\| 'highlight' option changed \|highlight-changed\| 'tildeop' and 'weirdinvert' short names changed \|short-name-changed\| Use of "v", "V" and "CTRL-V" in Visual mode \|use-visual-cmds\| CTRL-B in Insert mode removed \|toggle-revins\| 'backup' option default changed backup-changed ------------------------------- The default value for 'backup' used to be on. This resulted in a backup file being made when the original file was overwritten. Now the default for 'backup' is off. As soon as the writing of the file has successfully finished, the backup file is deleted. If you want to keep the backup file, set 'backup' on in your vimrc. The reason for this change is that many people complained that leaving a backup file behind is not Vi-compatible. \|'backup'\| Extension for backup file changed backup-extension --------------------------------- The extension for the backup file used to be ".bak". Since other programs also use this extension and some users make copies with this extension, it was changed to the less obvious "~". Another advantage is that this takes less space, which is useful when working on a system with short file names. For example, on MS-DOS the backup files for "longfile.c" and "longfile.h" would both become "longfile.bak"; now they will be "longfile.c~" and "longfile.h~". If you prefer to use ".bak", you can set the 'backupext' option: > :set bex=.bak Structure of swap file changed swapfile-changed ------------------------------ The contents of the swap file were extended with several parameters. Vim stores the user name and other information about the edited file to make recovery more easy and to be able to know where the swap file comes from. The first part of the swap file can now be understood on a machine with a different byte order or sizeof(int). When you try to recover a file on such a machine, you will get an error message that this is not possible. Because of this change, swap files cannot be exchanged between 3.0 and 4.0. If you have a swap file from a crashed session with 3.0, use Vim 3.0 to recover the file---don't use 4.0. \|swap-file\| "-w scriptout" argument changed scriptout-changed ------------------------------- "vim -w scriptout" used to append to the scriptout file. Since this was illogical, it now creates a new file. An existing file is not overwritten (to avoid destroying an existing file for those who rely on the appending). [This was removed again later] \|-w\| Backspace and Delete keys backspace-delete ------------------------- In 3.0 both the delete key and the backspace key worked as a backspace in insert mode; they deleted the character to the left of the cursor. In 4.0 the delete key has a new function: it deletes the character under the cursor, just like it does on the command-line. If the cursor is after the end of the line and 'bs' is set, two lines are joined. \|<Del>\| \|i_<Del>\| In 3.0 the backspace key was always defined as CTRL-H and delete as CTRL-?. In 4.0 the code for the backspace and delete key is obtained from termcap or termlib, and adjusted for the "stty erase" value on Unix. This helps people who define the erase character according to the keyboard they are working on. \|<BS>\| \|i_<BS>\| If you prefer backspace and delete in Insert mode to have the old behavior, put this line in your vimrc: inoremap ^? ^H And you may also want to add these, to fix the values for <BS> and <Del>: set t_kb=^H set t_kD=^? (Enter ^H with CTRL-V CTRL-H and ^? with CTRL-V CTRL-? or <Del>.) If the value for t_kb is correct, but the t_kD value is not, use the ":fixdel" command. It will set t_kD according to the value of t_kb. This is useful if you are using several different terminals. \|:fixdel\| When ^H is not recognized as <BS> or <Del>, it is used like a backspace. Escape for \| changed escape-bar -------------------- When the 'b' flag is present in 'cpoptions', the backslash cannot be used to escape '\|' in mapping and abbreviate commands, only CTRL-V can. This is Vi-compatible. If you work in Vi-compatible mode and had used "\\|" to include a bar in a mapping, this needs to be replaced by "^V\|". See \|:bar\|. Key codes changed key-codes-changed ----------------- The internal representation of key codes has changed dramatically. In 3.0 a one-byte code was used to represent a key. This caused problems with different characters sets that also used these codes. In 4.0 a three-byte code is used that cannot be confused with a character. \|key-notation\| If you have used the single-byte key codes in your vimrc for mappings, you will have to replace them with the 4.0 codes. Instead of using the three-byte code directly, you should use the symbolic representation for this in <>. See the table below. The table also lists the old name, as it was used in the 3.0 documentation. The key names in <> can be used in mappings directly. This makes it possible to copy/paste examples or type them literally. The <> notation has been introduced for this \|<>\|. The 'B' and '<' flags must not be present in 'cpoptions' to enable this to work \|'cpoptions'\|. old name new name old code old MS-DOS code ~ hex dec hex dec ~ <ESC> <Esc> <TAB> <Tab> <LF> <NL> <NewLine> <LineFeed> <SPACE> <Space> <NUL> <Nul> <BELL> <Bell> <BS> <BS> <BackSpace> <INSERT> <Insert> <DEL> <Del> <Delete> <HOME> <Home> <END> <End> <PAGE_UP> <PageUp> <PAGE_DOWN> <PageDown> <C_UP> <Up> 0x80 128 0xb0 176 <C_DOWN> <Down> 0x81 129 0xb1 177 <C_LEFT> <Left> 0x82 130 0xb2 178 <C_RIGHT> <Right> 0x83 131 0xb3 179 <SC_UP> <S-Up> 0x84 132 0xb4 180 <SC_DOWN> <S-Down> 0x85 133 0xb5 181 <SC_LEFT> <S-Left> 0x86 134 0xb6 182 <SC_RIGHT> <S-Right> 0x87 135 0xb7 183 <F1> <F1> 0x88 136 0xb8 184 <F2> <F2> 0x89 137 0xb9 185 <F3> <F3> 0x8a 138 0xba 186 <F4> <F4> 0x8b 139 0xbb 187 <F5> <F5> 0x8c 140 0xbc 188 <F6> <F6> 0x8d 141 0xbd 189 <F7> <F7> 0x8e 142 0xbe 190 <F8> <F8> 0x8f 143 0xbf 191 <F9> <F9> 0x90 144 0xc0 192 <F10> <F10> 0x91 145 0xc1 193 <SF1> <S-F1> 0x92 146 0xc2 194 <SF2> <S-F2> 0x93 147 0xc3 195 <SF3> <S-F3> 0x94 148 0xc4 196 <SF4> <S-F4> 0x95 149 0xc5 197 <SF5> <S-F5> 0x96 150 0xc6 198 <SF6> <S-F6> 0x97 151 0xc7 199 <SF7> <S-F7> 0x98 152 0xc8 200 <SF8> <S-F8> 0x99 153 0xc9 201 <SF9> <S-F9> 0x9a 154 0xca 202 <SF10> <S-F10> 0x9b 155 0xcb 203 <HELP> <Help> 0x9c 156 0xcc 204 <UNDO> <Undo> 0x9d 157 0xcd 205 (not used) 0x9e 158 0xce 206 (not used) 0x9f 159 0xcf 207 Terminal options changed termcap-changed ------------------------ The names of the terminal options have been changed to match the termcap names of these options. All terminal options now have the name t_xx, where xx is the termcap name. Normally these options are not used, unless you have a termcap entry that is wrong or incomplete, or you have set the highlight options to a different value. \|terminal-options\| Note that for some keys there is no termcap name. Use the <> type of name instead, which is a good idea anyway. Note that "t_ti" has become "t_mr" (invert/reverse output) and "t_ts" has become "t_ti" (init terminal mode). Be careful when you use "t_ti"! old name new name meaning ~ t_cdl t_DL delete number of lines t_cdl t_ci t_vi cursor invisible t_ci t_cil t_AL insert number of lines t_cil t_cm t_cm move cursor t_cri t_RI cursor number of chars right t_cri t_cv t_ve cursor visible t_cv t_cvv t_vs cursor very visible t_cvv t_dl t_dl delete line t_cs t_cs scroll region t_ed t_cl clear display t_ed t_el t_ce clear line t_el t_il t_al insert line t_il t_da display may be retained above the screen t_db display may be retained below the screen t_ke t_ke put terminal out of keypad transmit mode t_ks t_ks put terminal in keypad transmit mode t_ms t_ms save to move cursor in highlight mode t_se t_se normal mode (undo t_so) t_so t_so shift out (standout) mode t_ti t_mr reverse highlight t_tb t_md bold mode t_tb t_tp t_me highlight end t_tp t_sr t_sr scroll reverse t_te t_te out of termcap mode t_ts t_ti into termcap mode t_ts_old t_vb t_vb visual bell t_csc t_CS cursor is relative to scroll region t_csc t_ku t_ku <Up> arrow up t_kd t_kd <Down> arrow down t_kr t_kr <Right> arrow right t_kl t_kl <Left> arrow left t_sku <S-Up> shifted arrow up t_sku t_skd <S-Down> shifted arrow down t_skd t_skr t_%i <S-Right> shifted arrow right t_skr t_skl t_#4 <S-Left> shifted arrow left t_skl t_f1 t_k1 <F1> function key 1 t_f1 t_f2 t_k2 <F2> function key 2 t_f2 t_f3 t_k3 <F3> function key 3 t_f3 t_f4 t_k4 <F4> function key 4 t_f4 t_f5 t_k5 <F5> function key 5 t_f5 t_f6 t_k6 <F6> function key 6 t_f6 t_f7 t_k7 <F7> function key 7 t_f7 t_f8 t_k8 <F8> function key 8 t_f8 t_f9 t_k9 <F9> function key 9 t_f9 t_f10 t_k; <F10> function key 10 t_f10 t_sf1 <S-F1> shifted function key 1 t_sf1 t_sf2 <S-F2> shifted function key 2 t_sf2 t_sf3 <S-F3> shifted function key 3 t_sf3 t_sf4 <S-F4> shifted function key 4 t_sf4 t_sf5 <S-F5> shifted function key 5 t_sf5 t_sf6 <S-F6> shifted function key 6 t_sf6 t_sf7 <S-F7> shifted function key 7 t_sf7 t_sf8 <S-F8> shifted function key 8 t_sf8 t_sf9 <S-F9> shifted function key 9 t_sf9 t_sf10 <S-F10> shifted function key 10 t_sf10 t_help t_%1 <Help> help key t_help t_undo t_&8 <Undo> undo key t_undo 'errorformat' option changed errorformat-changed ---------------------------- 'errorformat' can now contain several formats, separated by commas. The first format that matches is used. The default values have been adjusted to catch the most common formats. \|errorformat\| If you have a format that contains a comma, it needs to be preceded with a backslash. Type two backslashes, because the ":set" command will eat one. 'graphic' option gone graphic-option-gone --------------------- The 'graphic' option was used to make the characters between <~> and 0xa0 display directly on the screen. Now the 'isprint' option takes care of this with many more possibilities. The default setting is the same; you only need to look into this if you previously set the 'graphic' option in your vimrc. \|'isprint'\| 'yankendofline' option gone ye-option-gone --------------------------- The 'yankendofline' option has been removed. Instead you can just use :map Y y$ 'icon' and 'title' default value changed icon-changed ---------------------------------------- The 'title' option is now only set by default if the original title can be restored. Avoids "Thanks for flying Vim" titles. If you want them anyway, put ":set title" in your vimrc. \|'title'\| The default for 'icon' now depends on the possibility of restoring the original value, just like 'title'. If you don't like your icon titles to be changed, add this line to your vimrc: \|'icon'\| :set noicon 'highlight' option changed highlight-changed -------------------------- The 'i' flag now means italic highlighting, instead of invert. The 'r' flag is used for reverse highlighting, which is what 'i' used to be. Normally you won't see the difference, because italic mode is not supported on most terminals and reverse mode is used as a fallback. \|'highlight'\| When an occasion is not present in 'highlight', use the mode from the default value for 'highlight', instead of reverse mode. 'tildeop' and 'weirdinvert' short names changed short-name-changed ----------------------------------------------- Renamed 'to' (abbreviation for 'tildeop') to 'top'. \|'tildeop'\| Renamed 'wi' (abbreviation for 'weirdinvert') to 'wiv'. \|'weirdinvert'\| This was done because Vi uses 'wi' as the short name for 'window' and 'to' as the short name for 'timeout'. This means that if you try setting these options, you won't get an error message, but the effect will be different. Use of "v", "V" and "CTRL-V" in Visual mode use-visual-cmds ------------------------------------------- In Visual mode, "v", "V", and "CTRL-V" used to end Visual mode. Now this happens only if the Visual mode was in the corresponding type. Otherwise the type of Visual mode is changed. Now only ESC can be used in all circumstances to end Visual mode without doing anything. \|v_V\| CTRL-B in Insert mode removed toggle-revins ----------------------------- CTRL-B in Insert mode used to toggle the 'revins' option. If you don't know this and accidentally hit CTRL-B, it is very difficult to find out how to undo it. Since hardly anybody uses this feature, it is disabled by default. If you want to use it, define RIGHTLEFT in feature.h before compiling. \|'revins'\| vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	13.58 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 version5.txt version5.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Dec 19 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Welcome to Vim Version 5.0! This document lists the differences between Vim 4.x and Vim 5.0.

This helps people who use Vim as a drop-in replacement for Vi, but causes some things to be incompatible with version 4.x. In version 4.x the default value for the 'compatible' option was off. Now the default is on. The first thing you will notice is that the "u" command undoes itself. Other side effects will be that mappings may work differently or not work at all. Since a lot of people switching from Vim 4.x to 5.0 will find this annoying, the 'compatible' option is switched off if Vim finds a vimrc file. This is a bit of magic to make sure that 90% of the Vim users will not be bitten by this change. What does this mean? - If you prefer to run in 'compatible' mode and don't have a vimrc file, you don't have to do anything. - If you prefer to run in 'nocompatible' mode and do have a vimrc file, you don't have to do anything. - If you prefer to run in 'compatible' mode and do have a vimrc file, you should put this line first in your vimrc file: > :set compatible - If you prefer to run in 'nocompatible' mode and don't have a vimrc file, you can do one of the following: - Create an empty vimrc file (e.g.: "~/.vimrc" for Unix). - Put this command in your .exrc file or $EXINIT: > :set nocompatible < - Start Vim with the "-N" argument. If you are new to Vi and Vim, using 'nocompatible' is strongly recommended, because Vi has a lot of unexpected side effects, which are avoided by this setting. See 'compatible'. If you like some things from 'compatible' and some not, you can tune the compatibility with 'cpoptions'. When you invoke Vim as "ex" or "gex", Vim always starts in compatible mode. Text formatting command "Q" changed Q-command-changed ----------------------------------- The "Q" command formerly formatted lines to the width the 'textwidth' option specifies. The command for this is now "gq" (see \|gq\| for more info). The reason for this change is that "Q" is the standard Vi command to enter "Ex" mode, and Vim now does in fact have an "Ex" mode (see \|Q\| for more info). If you still want to use "Q" for formatting, use this mapping: > :noremap Q gq And if you also want to use the functionality of "Q": > :noremap gQ Q Command-line arguments changed cmdline-changed ------------------------------ Command-line file-arguments and option-arguments can now be mixed. You can give options after the file names. Example: > vim main.c -g This is not possible when editing a file that starts with a '-'. Use the "--" argument then \|---\|: > vim -g -- -main.c "-v" now means to start Ex in Vi mode, use "-R" for read-only mode. old: "vim -v file" \|-v\| new: "vim -R file" \|-R\| "-e" now means to start Vi in Ex mode, use "-q" for quickfix. old: "vim -e errorfile" \|-e\| new: "vim -q errorfile" \|-q\| "-s" in Ex mode now means to run in silent (batch) mode. \|-s-ex\| "-x" reserved for crypt, use "-f" to avoid starting a new CLI (Amiga). old: "vim -x file" \|-x\| new: "vim -f file" \|-f\| Vim allows up to ten "+cmd" and "-c cmd" arguments. Previously Vim executed only the last one. "-n" now overrides any setting for 'updatecount' in a vimrc file, but not in a gvimrc file. Autocommands are kept autocmds-kept --------------------- Before version 5.0, autocommands with the same event, file name pattern, and command could appear only once. This was fine for simple autocommands (like setting option values), but for more complicated autocommands, where the same command might appear twice, this restriction caused problems. Therefore Vim stores all autocommands and keeps them in the order that they are defined. The most obvious side effect of this change is that when you source a vimrc file twice, the autocommands in it will be defined twice. To avoid this, do one of these: - Remove any autocommands that might already be defined before defining them. Example: > :au! * .ext :au BufEnter .ext ... - Put the autocommands inside an ":if" command. Example: > if !exists("did_ext_autocmds") let did_ext_autocmds = 1 autocmd BufEnter .ext ... endif - Put your autocommands in a different autocommand group so you can remove them before defining them \|:augroup\|: > augroup uncompress au! au BufReadPost .gz ... augroup END Use of 'hidden' changed hidden-changed ----------------------- In version 4.x, only some commands used the 'hidden' option. Now all commands uses it whenever a buffer disappears from a window. Previously you could do ":buf xxx" in a changed buffer and that buffer would then become hidden. Now you must set the 'hidden' option for this to work. The new behavior is simpler: whether Vim hides buffers no longer depends on the specific command that you use. - with 'hidden' not set, you never get hidden buffers. Exceptions are the ":hide" and ":close!" commands and, in rare cases, where you would otherwise lose changes to the buffer. - With 'hidden' set, you almost never unload a buffer. Exceptions are the ":bunload" or ":bdel" commands. ":buffer" now supports a "!": abandon changes in current buffer. So do ":bnext", ":brewind", etc. Text object commands changed text-objects-changed ---------------------------- Text object commands have new names. This allows more text objects and makes characters available for other Visual mode commands. Since no more single characters were available, text objects names now require two characters. The first one is always 'i' or 'a'. OLD NEW ~ a aw a word \|v_aw\| A aW a WORD \|v_aW\| s as a sentence \|v_as\| p ap a paragraph \|v_ap\| S ab a () block \|v_ab\| P aB a {} block \|v_aB\| There is another set of text objects that starts with "i", for "inner". These select the same objects, but exclude white space. X-Windows Resources removed x-resources -------------------------- Vim no longer supports the following X resources: - boldColor - italicColor - underlineColor - cursorColor Vim now uses highlight groups to set colors. This avoids the confusion of using a bold Font, which would imply a certain color. See \|:highlight\| and \|gui-resources\|. Use of $VIM $VIM-use ----------- Vim now uses the VIM environment variable to find all Vim system files. This includes the global vimrc, gvimrc, and menu.vim files and all on-line help and syntax files. See \|$VIM\|. Starting with version 5.4, \|$VIMRUNTIME\| can also be used. For Unix, Vim sets a default value for $VIM when doing "make install". When $VIM is not set, its default value is the directory from 'helpfile', excluding "/doc/help.txt". Use of $HOME for MS-DOS and Win32 $HOME-use --------------------------------- The MS-DOS and Win32 versions of Vim now first check $HOME when searching for a vimrc or exrc file and for reading/storing the viminfo file. Previously Vim used $VIM for these systems, but this causes trouble on a system with several users. Now Vim uses $VIM only when $HOME is not set or the file is not found in $HOME. See \|_vimrc\|. Tags file format changed tags-file-changed ------------------------ Only tabs are allowed to separate fields in a tags file. This allows for spaces in a file name and is still Vi compatible. In previous versions of Vim, any white space was allowed to separate the fields. If you have a file which doesn't use a single tab between fields, edit the tags file and execute this command: > :%s/$\S$\s\+$\S$\s\+$.$/\1\t\2\t\3/ Options changed options-changed* --------------- The default value of 'errorfile' has changed from "errors.vim" to "errors.err". The reason is that only Vim scripts should have the ".vim" extensions. The ":make" command no longer uses the 'errorfile' option. This prevents the output of the ":make" command from overwriting a manually saved error file. ":make" uses the 'makeef' option instead. This also allows for generating a unique name, to prevent concurrently running ":make" commands from overwriting each other's files. With 'insertmode' set, a few more things change: - <Esc> in Normal mode goes to Insert mode. - <Esc> in Insert mode doesn't leave Insert mode. - When doing ":set im", go to Insert mode immediately. Vim considers a buffer to be changed when the 'fileformat' (formerly the 'textmode' option) is different from the buffer's initial format. CTRL-B in Insert mode gone i_CTRL-B-gone -------------------------- When Vim was compiled with the \|+rightleft\| feature, you could use CTRL-B to toggle the 'revins' option. Unfortunately, some people hit the 'B' key accidentally when trying to type CTRL-V or CTRL-N and then didn't know how to undo this. Since toggling the 'revins' option can easily be done with the mapping below, this use of the CTRL-B key is disabled. You can still use the CTRL-_ key for this \|i_CTRL-_\|. > :imap <C-B> <C-O>:set revins!<CR> ============================================================================== NEW FEATURES new-5 Syntax highlighting new-highlighting ------------------- Vim now has a very flexible way to highlighting just about any type of file. See \|syntax\|. Summary: > :syntax on Colors and attributes can be set for the syntax highlighting, and also for other highlighted items with the ':' flag in the 'highlight' option. All highlighted items are assigned a highlight group which specifies their highlighting. See \|:highlight\|. The default colors have been improved. You can use the "Normal" group to set the default fore/background colors for a color terminal. For the GUI, you can use this group to specify the font, too. The "2html.vim" script can be used to convert any file that has syntax highlighting to HTML. The colors will be exactly the same as how you see them in Vim. With a HTML viewer you can also print the file with colors. Built-in script language new-script ------------------------ A few extra commands and an expression evaluator enable you to write simple but powerful scripts. Commands include ":if" and ":while". Expressions can manipulate numbers and strings. You can use the '=' register to insert directly the result of an expression. See \|expression\|. Perl and Python support new-perl-python ----------------------- Vim can call Perl commands with ":perldo", ":perl", etc. See \|perl\|. Patches made by Sven Verdoolaege and Matt Gerassimoff. Vim can call Python commands with ":python" and ":pyfile". See \|python\|. Both of these are only available when enabled at compile time. Win32 GUI version added-win32-GUI ----------------- The GUI has been ported to MS Windows 95 and NT. All the features of the X11 GUI are available to Windows users now. \|gui-w32\| This also fixes problems with running the Win32 console version under Windows 95, where console support has always been bad. There is also a version that supports OLE automation interface. \|if_ole.txt\| Vim can be integrated with Microsoft Developer Studio using the VisVim DLL. It is possible to produce a DLL version of gvim with Borland C++ (Aaron). VMS version added-VMS ----------- Vim can now also be used on VMS systems. Port done by Henk Elbers. This has not been tested much, but it should work. Sorry, no documentation! BeOS version added-BeOS ------------ Vim can be used on BeOS systems (including the BeBox). (Olaf Seibert) See \|os_beos.txt\|. Macintosh GUI version added-Mac --------------------- Vim can now be used on the Macintosh. (Dany St-Amant) It has not been tested much yet, be careful! See \|os_mac.txt\|. More Vi compatible more-compatible ------------------ There is now a real Ex mode. Started with the "Q" command, or by calling the executable "ex" or "gex". \|Ex-mode\| Always allow multi-level undo, also in Vi compatible mode. When the 'u' flag in 'cpoptions' is included, CTRL-R is used for repeating the undo or redo (like "." in Nvi). Read input from stdin read-stdin --------------------- When using the "-" command-line argument, Vim reads its text input from stdin. This can be used for putting Vim at the end of a pipe: > grep "^a." .c \| vim - See \|--\|. Regular expression patterns added-regexp --------------------------- Added specifying a range for the number of matches of an atom: "\{a,b}". \|/\{\| Added the "shortest match" regexp "\{-}" (Webb). Added "\s", matches a white character. Can replace "[ \t]". \|/\s\| Added "\S", matches a non-white character. Can replace "[^ \t]". \|/\S\| Overloaded tags tag-overloaded --------------- When using a language like C++, there can be several tags for the same tagname. Commands have been added to be able to jump to any of these overloaded tags: \|:tselect\| List matching tags, and jump to one of them. \|:stselect\| Idem, and split window. \|g_CTRL-]\| Do ":tselect" with the word under the cursor. After ":ta {tagname}" with multiple matches: \|:tnext\| Go to next matching tag. \|:tprevious\| Go to previous matching tag. \|:trewind\| Go to first matching tag. \|:tlast\| Go to last matching tag. The ":tag" command now also accepts wildcards. When doing command-line completion on tags, case-insensitive matching is also available (at the end). New commands new-commands ------------ \|:amenu\| Define menus for all modes, inserting a CTRL-O for Insert mode, ESC for Visual and CTRL-C for Cmdline mode. "amenu" is used for the default menus and the Syntax menu. \|:augroup\| Set group to be used for following autocommands. Allows the grouping of autocommands to enable deletion of a specific group. \|:crewind\| Go to first error. \|:clast\| Go to last error. \|:doautoall\| Execute autocommands for all loaded buffers. \|:echo\| Echo its argument, which is an expression. Can be used to display messages which include variables. \|:execute\| Execute its argument, which is an expression. Can be used to built up an Ex command with anything. \|:hide\| Works like ":close". \|:if\| Conditional execution, for built-in script language. \|:intro\| Show introductory message. This is always executed when Vim is started without file arguments. \|:let\| Assign a value to an internal variable. \|:omap\| Map only in operator-pending mode. Makes it possible to map text-object commands. \|:redir\| Redirect output of messages to a file. \|:update\| Write when buffer has changed. \|:while\| While-loop for built-in script language. Visual mode: \|v_O\| "O" in Visual block mode, moves the cursor to the other corner horizontally. \|v_D\| "D" in Visual block mode deletes till end of line. Insert mode: \|i_CTRL-]\| Triggers abbreviation, without inserting any character. New options added-options ----------- 'background' Used for selecting highlight color defaults. Also used in "syntax.vim" for selecting the syntax colors. Often set automatically, depending on the terminal used. 'complete' Specifies how Insert mode completion works. 'eventignore' Makes it possible to ignore autocommands temporarily. 'fileformat' Current file format. Replaces 'textmode'. 'fileformats' Possible file formats. Replaces 'textauto'. New is that this also supports Macintosh format: A single <CR> separates lines. The default for 'fileformats' for MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2 is "dos,unix", also when 'compatible' set. Unix type files didn't work anyway when 'fileformats' was empty. 'guicursor' Set the cursor shape and blinking in various modes. Default is to adjust the cursor for Insert and Replace mode, and when an operator is pending. Blinking is default on. 'fkmap' Farsi key mapping. 'hlsearch' Highlight all matches with the last used search pattern. 'hkmapp' Phonetic Hebrew mapping. (Ilya Dogolazky) 'iconstring' Define the name of the icon, when not empty. (Version 5.2: the string is used literally, a newline can be used to make two lines.) 'lazyredraw' Don't redraw the screen while executing macros, registers or other not typed commands. 'makeef' Errorfile to be used for ":make". "##" is replaced with a unique number. Avoids that two Vim sessions overwrite each others errorfile. The Unix default is "/tmp/vim##.err"; for Amiga "t:vim##.Err, for others "vim##.err". 'matchtime' 1/10s of a second to show a matching paren, when 'showmatch' is set. Like Nvi. 'mousehide' Hide mouse pointer in GUI when typing text. 'nrformats' Defines what bases Vim will consider for numbers when using the CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands. Default: "hex,octal". 'shellxquote' Add extra quotes around the whole shell command, including redirection. 'softtabstop' Make typing behave like tabstop is set at this value, without changing the value of 'tabstop'. Makes it more easy to keep 'ts' at 8, while still getting four spaces for a <Tab>. 'titlestring' String for the window title, when not empty. (Version 5.2: this string is used literally, a newline can be used to make two lines.) 'verbose' Level of verbosity. Makes it possible to show which .vimrc, .exrc, .viminfo files etc. are used for initializing. Also to show autocommands that are being executed. Can also be set by using the "-V" command-line argument. New command-line arguments added-cmdline-args -------------------------- \|-U\| Set the gvimrc file to be used. Like "-u" for the vimrc. \|-V\| Set the 'verbose' option. E.g. "vim -V10". \|-N\| Start in non-compatible mode. \|-C\| Start in compatible mode. \|-Z\| Start in restricted mode, disallow shell commands. Can also be done by calling the executable "rvim". \|-h\| Show usage information and exit. Various additions added-various ----------------- Added support for SNiFF+ connection (submitted by Toni Leherbauer). Vim can be used as an editor for SNiFF. No documentation available... For producing a bug report, the bugreport.vim script has been included. Can be used with ":so $VIMRUNTIME/bugreport.vim", which creates the file "bugreport.txt" in the current directory. \|bugs\| Added range to ":normal" command. Now you can repeat the same command for each line in the range. \|:normal-range\| Included support for the Farsi language (Shiran). Only when enabled at compile time. See \|farsi\|. ============================================================================== IMPROVEMENTS improvements-5 Performance: - When 'showcmd' was set, mappings would execute much more slowly because the output would be flushed very often. Helps a lot when executing the "life" macros with 'showcmd' set. - Included patches for binary searching in tags file (David O'Neill). Can be disabled by resetting the 'tagbsearch' option. - Don't update the ruler when repeating insert (slowed it down a lot). - For Unix, file name expansion is now done internally instead of starting a shell for it. - Expand environment variables with expand_env(), instead of calling the shell. Makes ":so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim" a LOT faster. - Reduced output for cursor positioning: Use CR-LF for moving to first few columns in next few lines; Don't output CR twice when using termios. - Optimized cursor positioning. Use CR, BS and NL when it's shorter than absolute cursor positioning. - Disable redrawing while repeating insert "1000ii<Esc>". - Made "d$" or "D" for long lines a lot faster (delete all characters at once, instead of one by one). - Access option table by first letter, instead of searching from start. - Made setting special highlighting attributes a lot faster by using highlight_attr[], instead of searching in the 'highlight' string. - Don't show the mode when redrawing is disabled. - When setting an option, only redraw the screen when required. - Improved performance of Ex commands by using a lookup table for the first character. Options: 'cinoptions' Added 'g' flag, for C++ scope declarations. 'cpoptions' Added 'E' flag: Disallow yanking, deleting, etc. empty text area. Default is to allow empty yanks. When 'E' is included, "y$" in an empty line now is handled as an error (Vi compatible). Added 'j' flag: Only add two spaces for a join after a '.', not after a '?' or '!'. Added 'A' flag: don't give ATTENTION message. Added 'L' flag: When not included, and 'list' is set, 'textwidth' formatting works like 'list' is not set. Added 'W' flag: Let ":w!" behave like Vi: don't overwrite readonly files, or a file owned by someone else. 'highlight' Added '@' flag, for '@' characters after the last line on the screen, and '$' at the end of the line when 'list' is set. Added 'i' flag: Set highlighting for 'incsearch'. Default uses "IncSearch" highlight group, which is linked to "Visual". Disallow 'h' flag in 'highlight' (wasn't used anymore since 3.0). 'guifont' Win32 GUI only: When set to "" brings up a font requester. 'guipty' Default on, because so many people need it. 'path' Can contain wildcards, and "" for searching a whole tree. 'shortmess' Added 'I' flag to avoid the intro message. 'viminfo' Added '%' flag: Store buffer list in viminfo file. - Increased defaults for 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' for Unix and Win32. Most machines have much more RAM now that prices have dropped. - Implemented ":set all&", set all options to their default value. \|:set\| Swap file: - Don't create a swap file for a readonly file. Then create one on the first change. Also create a swapfile when the amount of memory used is getting too high. \|swap-file\| - Make swap file "hidden", if possible. On Unix this is done by prepending a dot to the swap file name. When long file names are used, the DJGPP and Win32 versions also prepend a dot, in case a file on a mounted Unix file system is edited. \|:swapname\| On MSDOS the hidden file attribute is NOT set, because this causes problems with share.exe. - 'updatecount' always defaults to non-zero, also for Vi compatible mode. This means there is a swap file, which can be used for recovery. Tags: - Included ctags 2.0 (Darren Hiebert). The syntax for static tags changed from {tag}:{fname} {fname} {command} to {tag} {fname} {command};" file: Which is both faster to parse, shorter and Vi compatible. The old format is also still accepted, unless disabled in src/feature.h (see OLD_STATIC_TAGS). \|tags-file-format\| - Completion of tags now also includes static tags for other files, at the end. - Included "shtags" from Stephen Riehm. - When finding a matching tag, but the file doesn't exist, continue searching for another match. Helps when using the same tags file (with links) for different versions of source code. - Give a tag with a global match in the current file a higher priority than a global match in another file. Included xxd version V1.8 (Juergen Weigert). Autocommands: - VimLeave autocommands are executed after writing the viminfo file, instead of before. \|VimLeave\| - Allow changing autocommands while executing them. This allows for self-modifying autocommands. (idea from Goldberg) - When using autocommands with two or more patterns, could not split ":if/:endif" over two lines. Now all matching autocommands are executed in one do_cmdline(). - Autocommands no longer change the command repeated with ".". - Search patterns are restored after executing autocommands. This avoids that the 'hlsearch' highlighting is messed up by autocommands. - When trying to execute an autocommand, also try matching the pattern with the short file name. Helps when short file name is different from full file name (expanded symbolic links). \|autocmd-patterns\| - Made the output of ":autocmd" shorter and look better. - Expand <sfile> in an ":autocmd" when it is defined. \|<sfile>\| - Added "nested" flag to ":autocmd", allows nesting. \|autocmd-nested\| - Added [group] argument to ":autocmd". Overrides the currently set group. \|autocmd-groups\| - new events: \|BufUnload\| before a buffer is unloaded \|BufDelete\| before a buffer is deleted from the buffer list \|FileChangedShell\| when a file's modification time has changed after executing a shell command \|User\| user-defined autocommand - When 'modified' was set by a BufRead autocommand, it was reset again afterwards. Now the ":set modified" is remembered. GUI: - Improved GUI scrollbar handling when redrawing is slower than the scrollbar events are generated. - "vim -u NONE" now also stops loading the .gvimrc and other GUI inits. \|-u\| Use "-U" to use another gvimrc file. \|-U\| - Handle CTRL-C for external command, also for systems where "setsid()" is supported. - When starting the GUI, restrict the window size to the screen size. - The default menus are read from $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim. This allows for a customized default menu. \|menu.vim\| - Improved the default menus. Added File/Print, a Window menu, Syntax menu, etc. - Added priority to the ":menu" command. Now each menu can be put in a place where you want it, independent of the order in which the menus are defined. \|menu-priority\| Give a warning in the intro screen when running the Win32 console version on Windows 95 because there are problems using this version under Windows 95. \|win32-problems\| Added 'e' flag for ":substitute" command: Don't complain when not finding a match (Campbell). \|:s\| When using search commands in a mapping, only the last one is kept in the history. Avoids that the history is trashed by long mappings. Ignore characters after "ex", "view" and "gvim" when checking startup mode. Allows the use of "gvim5" et. al. \|gvim\| "gview" starts the GUI in readonly mode. \|gview\| When resizing windows, the cursor is kept in the same relative position, if possible. (Webb) ":all" and ":ball" no longer close and then open a window for the same buffer. Avoids losing options, jumplist, and other info. "-f" command-line argument is now ignored if Vim was compiled without GUI. \|-f\| In Visual block mode, the right mouse button picks up the nearest corner. Changed default mappings for DOS et al. Removed the DOS-specific mappings, only use the Windows ones. Added Shift-Insert, Ctrl-Insert, Ctrl-Del and Shift-Del. Changed the numbers in the output of ":jumps", so you can see where {count} CTRL-O takes you. \|:jumps\| Using "~" for $HOME now works for all systems. \|$HOME\| Unix: Besides using CTRL-C, also use the INTR character from the tty settings. Somebody has INTR set to DEL. Allow a <NL> in a ":help" command argument to end the help command, so another command can follow. Doing "%" on a line that starts with " #if" didn't jump to matching "#else". Don't recognize "#if", "#else" etc. for '%' when 'cpo' contains the '%' flag. \|%\| Insert mode expansion with "CTRL-N", "CTRL-P" and "CTRL-X" improved \|ins-completion\|: - 'complete' option added. - When 'nowrapscan' is set, and no match found, report the searched direction in the error message. - Repeating CTRL-X commands adds following words/lines after the match. - When adding-expansions, accept single character matches. - Made repeated CTRL-X CTRL-N not break undo, and "." repeats the whole insertion. Also fixes not being able to backspace over a word that has been inserted with CTRL-N. When copying characters in Insert mode from previous/next line, with CTRL-E or CTRL-Y, 'textwidth' is no longer used. \|i_CTRL-E\| Commands that move in the arglist, like ":n" and ":rew", keep the old cursor position of the file (this is mostly Vi compatible). Vim now remembers the '< and '> marks for each buffer. This fixes a problem that a line-delete in one buffer invalidated the '< and '> marks in another buffer. \|'<\| For MSDOS, Unix and OS/2: When $VIM not set, use the path from the executable. When using the executable path for $VIM, remove "src/" when present. Should make Vim find the docs and syntax files when it is run directly after compiling. \|$VIM\| When quitting Visual mode with <Esc>, the cursor is put at start of the Visual area (like after executing an operator). Win32 and Unix version: Removed 1100 character limit on external commands. Added possibility to include a space in a ":edit +command" argument, by putting a backslash before it. \|+cmd\| After recovery, BufReadPost autocommands are applied. \|:recover\| Added color support for "os2ansi", OS/2 console. (Slootman) Allow "%:p:h" when % is empty. \|:_%\| Included "<sfile>": file name from the ":source" command. \|<sfile>\| Added "<Bslash>" special character. Helps for avoiding multiple backslashes in mappings and menus. In a help window, a double-click jumps to the tag under the cursor (like CTRL-]). <C-Left> and <C-Right> now work like <S-Left> and <S-Right>, move a word forward/backward (Windows compatible). \|<C-Left>\| Removed the requirement for a ":version" command in a .vimrc file. It wasn't used for anything. You can use ":if" to handle differences between versions. \|:version\| For MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2: When comparing file names for autocommands, don't make a difference between '/' and '\' for path separator. New termcap options: "mb": blink. Can only be used by assigning it to one of the other highlight options. \|t_mb\| "bc": backspace character. \|t_bc\| "nd": Used for moving the cursor right in the GUI, to avoid removing one line of pixels from the last bold character. \|t_nd\| "xs": highlighting not erased by overwriting, for hpterm. Combined with 'weirdinvert'. Visual mode works on hpterm now. \|t_xs\| Unix: Set time of patch and backup file same as original file. (Hiebert). Amiga: In QuickFix mode no longer opens another window. Shell commands can be used now. Added decmouse patches from David Binette. Can now use Dec and Netterm mouse. But only when enabled at compile time. Added '#' register: Alternate file name \|quote#\|. Display '#' register with ":dis" command. \|:display\| Removed ':' from 'isfname' default for Unix. Check for "://" in a file name anyway. Also check for ":\\", for MS-DOS. Added count to "K"eyword command, when 'keywordprg' is "man", is inserted in the man command. "2K" results in "!man 2 <cword>". \|K\| When using "gf" on a relative path name, remove "../" from the file name, like it's done for file names in the tags file. \|gf\| When finishing recording, don't make the recorded register the default put register. When using "!!", don't put ":5,5!" on the command-line, but ":.!". And some other enhancements to replace the line number with "." or "$" when possible. MSDOS et al.: Renamed $VIM/viminfo to $VIM/_viminfo. It's more consistent: .vimrc/_vimrc and .viminfo/_viminfo For systems where case doesn't matter in file names (MSDOS, Amiga), ignore case while sorting file names. For buffer names too. When reading from stdin doesn't work, read from stderr (helps for "foo \| xargs vim"). 32 bit MS-DOS version: Replaced csdpmi3 by csdpmi4. Changed <C-Left> and <C-Right> to skip a WORD instead of a word. Warning for changed modified time when overwriting a file now also works on other systems than Unix. Unix: Changed the defaults for configure to be the same as the defaults for Makefile: include GUI, Perl, and Python. Some versions of Motif require "-lXpm". Added check for this in configure. Don't add "-L/usr/lib" to the link line, causes problems on a few systems. ============================================================================== COMPILE TIME CHANGES compile-changes-5 When compiling, allow a choice for minimal, normal or maximal features in an easy way, by changing a single line in src/feature.h. The DOS16 version has been compiled with minimal features to avoid running out of memory too quickly. The Win32, DJGPP, and OS/2 versions use maximal features, because they have enough memory. The Amiga version is available with normal and maximal features. Added "make test" to Unix version Makefile. Allows for a quick check if most "normal" commands work properly. Also tests a few specific commands. Added setlocale() with codepage support for DJGPP version. autoconf: - Added autoconf check for -lXdmcp. - Included check for -lXmu, no longer needed to edit the Makefile for this. - Switched to autoconf 2.12. - Added configure check for <poll.h>. Seems to be needed when including Perl on Linux? - termlib is now checked before termcap. - Added configure check for strncasecmp(), stricmp() and strnicmp(). Added vim_stricmp() for when there's no library function for stricmp(). - Use "datadir" in configure, instead of our own check for HELPDIR. Removed "make proto" from Makefile.manx. Could not make it work without a lot of #ifdefs. Removed "proto/" from paths in proto.h. Needed for the Mac port. Drastically changed Makefile.mint. Now it includes the Unix Makefile. Added support for Dos16 in Makefile.b32 (renamed Makefile.b32 to Makefile.bor) All source files are now edited with a tabstop of 8 instead of 4, which is better when debugging and using other tools. 'softtabstop' is set to 4, to make editing easier. Unix: Added "link.sh" script, which removes a few unnecessary libraries from the link command. Don't use HPUX digraphs by default, but only when HPUX_DIGRAPHS is defined. \|digraphs-default\| ============================================================================== BUG FIXES bug-fixes-5 Note: Some of these fixes may only apply to test versions which were created after version 4.6, but before 5.0. When doing ":bdel", try going to the next loaded buffer. Don't rewind to the start of the buffer list. mch_isdir() for Unix returned TRUE for "" on some systems. Win32: 'shell' set to "mksnt/sh.exe" breaks ":!" commands. Don't use backslashes in the temp file names. On linux, with a FAT file system, could get spurious "file xxx changed since editing started" messages, because the time is rounded off to two seconds unexpectedly. Crash in GUI, when selecting a word (double click) and then extend until an empty line. For systems where isdigit() can't handle characters > 255, get_number() caused a crash when moving the mouse during the prompt for recovery. In Insert mode, "CTRL-O P" left the cursor on the last inserted character. Now the cursor is left after the last putted character. When quickfix found an error type other than 'e' or 'w', it was never printed. A setting for 'errorfile' in a .vimrc overruled the "-q errorfile" argument. Some systems create a file when generating a temp file name. Filtering would then create a backup file for this, which was never deleted. Now no backup file is made when filtering. simplify_filename() could remove a ".." after a link, resulting in the wrong file name. Made simplify_filename also work for MSDOS. Don't use it for Amiga, since it doesn't have "../". otherfile() was unreliable when using links. Could think that reading/writing was for a different file, when it was the same. Pasting with mouse in Replace mode didn't replace anything. Window height computed wrong when resizing a window with an autocommand (could cause a crash). ":s!foo!bar!" wasn't possible (Vi compatible). do_bang() freed memory twice when called recursively, because of autocommands (test11). Thanks to Electric Fence! "v$d" on an empty line didn't remove the "-- VISUAL --" mode message from the command-line, and inverted the cursor. ":mkexrc" didn't check for failure to open the file, causing a crash. (Felderhoff). Win32 mch_write() wrote past fixed buffer, causing terminal keys no longer to be recognized. Both console and GUI version. Athena GUI: Crash when removing a menu item. Now Vim doesn't crash, but the reversing of the menu item is still wrong. Always reset 'list' option for the help window. When 'scrolloff' is non-zero, a 'showmatch' could cause the shown match to be in the wrong line and the window to be scrolled (Acevedo). After ":set all&", 'lines' and 'ttytype' were still non-default, because the defaults never got set. Now the defaults for 'lines' and 'columns' are set after detecting the window size. 'term' and 'ttytype' defaults are set when detecting the terminal type. For (most) non-Unix systems, don't add file names with illegal characters when expanding. Fixes "cannot open swapfile" error when doing ":e .burp", when there is no match. In X11 GUI, drawing part of the cursor obscured the text. Now the text is drawn over the cursor, like when it fills the block. (Seibert) when started with "-c cmd -q errfile", the cursor would be left in line 1. Now a ":cc" is done after executing "cmd". ":ilist" never ignored case, even when 'ignorecase' set. "vim -r file" for a readonly file, then making a change, got ATTENTION message in insert mode, display mixed up until <Esc> typed. Also don't give ATTENTION message after recovering a file. The abbreviation ":ab #i #include" could not be removed. CTRL-L completion (longest common match) on command-line didn't work properly for case-insensitive systems (MS-DOS, Windows, etc.). (suggested by Richard Kilgore). For terminals that can hide the cursor ("vi" termcap entry), resizing the window caused the cursor to disappear. Using an invalid mark in an Ex address didn't abort the command. When 'smarttab' set, would use 'shiftround' when inserting a TAB after a space. Now it always rounds to a tabstop. Set '[ and '] marks for ":copy", ":move", ":append", ":insert", ":substitute" and ":change". (Acevedo). "d$" in an empty line still caused an error, even when 'E' is not in 'cpoptions'. Help files were stored in the viminfo buffer list without a path. GUI: Displaying cursor was not synchronized with other displaying. Caused several display errors. For example, when the last two lines in the file start with spaces, "dd" on the last line copied text to the (then) last line. Win32: Needed to type CTRL-SHIFT-- to get CTRL-_. GUI: Moving the cursor forwards over bold text would remove one column of bold pixels. X11 GUI: When a bold character in the last column was scrolled up or down, one column of pixels would not be copied. Using <BS> to move the cursor left can sometimes erase a character. Now use "le" termcap entry for this. Keyword completion with regexp didn't work. e.g., for "b.crat". Fixed: With CTRL-O that jumps to another file, cursor could end up just after the line. Amiga: '$' was missing from character recognized as wildcards, causing $VIM sometimes not to be expanded. ":change" didn't adjust marks for deleted lines. ":help [range]" didn't work. Also for [pattern], [count] and [quotex]. For 'cindent'ing, typing "class::method" doesn't align like a label when the second ':' is typed. When inserting a CR with 'cindent' set (and a bunch of other conditions) the cursor went to a wrong location. 'cindent' was wrong for a line that ends in '}'. 'cindent' was wrong after "else {". While editing the cmdline in the GUI, could not use the mouse to select text from the command-line itself. When deleting lines, marks in tag stack were only adjusted for the current window, not for other windows on the same buffer. Tag guessing could find a function "some_func" instead of the "func" we were looking for. Tags file name relative to the current file didn't work. ":g/pat2/s//pat2/g", causing the number of subs to be reported, used to cause a scroll up. Now you no longer have to hit <CR>. X11 GUI: Selecting text could cause a crash. 32 bit DOS version: CTRL-C in external command killed Vim. When SHELL is set to "sh.exe", external commands didn't work. Removed using of command.com, no longer need to set 'shellquote'. Fixed crash when using ":g/pat/i". Fixed (potential) crash for X11 GUI, when using an X selection. Was giving a pointer on the stack to a callback function, now it's static. Using "#" and "" with an operator didn't work. E.g. "c#". Command-line expansion didn't work properly after ":". (Acevedo) Setting 'weirdinvert' caused highlighting to be wrong in the GUI. ":e +4 #" didn't work, because the "4" was in unallocated memory (could cause a crash). Cursor position was wrong for ":e #", after ":e #" failed, because of changes to the buffer. When doing ":buf N", going to a buffer that was edited with ":view", the readonly flag was reset. Now make a difference between ":e file" and ":buf file": Only set/reset 'ro' for the first one. Avoid \|hit-enter\| prompt when not able to write viminfo on exit. When giving error messages in the terminal where the GUI was started, GUI escape codes would be written to the terminal. In an xterm this could be seen as a '$' after the message. Mouse would not work directly after ":gui", because full_screen isn't set, which causes starttermcap() not to do its work. 'incsearch' did not scroll the window in the same way as the actual search. When 'nowrap' set, incsearch didn't show a match when it was off the side of the screen. Now it also shows the whole match, instead of just the cursor position (if possible). ":unmap", ":unab" and ":unmenu" did not accept a double quote, it was seen as the start of a comment. Now it's Vi compatible. Using <Up><Left><Left><Up> in the command-line, when there is no previous cmdline in the history, inserted a NUL on the command-line. "i<Esc>" when on a <Tab> in column 0 left the cursor in the wrong place. GUI Motif: When adding a lot of menu items, the menu bar goes into two rows. Deleting menu items, reducing the number of rows, now also works. With ":g/pat/s//foo/c", a match in the first line was scrolled off of the screen, so you could not see it. When using ":s//c", with 'nowrap' set, a match could be off the side of the screen, so you could not see it. When 'helpfile' was set to a fixed, non-absolute path in feature.h, Vim would crash. mch_Fullname can now handle file names in read-only memory. (Lottem) When using CTRL-A or CTRL-@ in Insert mode, there could be strange effects when using CTRL-D next. Also, when repeating inserted text that included "0 CTRL-D" or "^ CTRL-D" this didn't work. (Acevedo) Using CTRL-D after using CTRL-E or CTRL-Y in Insert mode that inserted a '0' or '^', removed the '0' or '^' and more indent. The command "2".p" caused the last inserted text to be executed as commands. (Acevedo) Repeating the insert of "CTRL-V 048" resulted in "^@" to be inserted. Repeating Insert completion could fail if there are special characters in the text. (Acevedo) ":normal /string<CR>" caused the window to scroll. Now all ":normal" commands are executed without scrolling messages. Redo of CTRL-E or CTRL-Y in Insert mode interpreted special characters as commands. Line wrapping for 'tw' was done one character off for insert expansion inserts. buffer_exists() function didn't work properly for buffer names with a symbolic link in them (e.g. when using buffer_exists(#)). Removed the "MOTIF_COMMENT" construction from Makefile. It now works with FreeBSD make, and probably with NeXT make too. Matching the 'define' and 'include' arguments now honor the settings for 'ignorecase'. (Acevedo) When one file shown in two windows, Visual selection mixed up cursor position in current window and other window. When doing ":e file" from a help file, the 'isk' option wasn't reset properly, because of a modeline in the help file. When doing ":e!", a cursor in another window on the same buffer could become invalid, leading to "ml_get: invalid lnum" errors. Matching buffer name for when expanded name has a different path from not expanded name (Brugnara). Normal mappings didn't work after an operator. For example, with ":map Q gq", "QQ" didn't work. When ":make" resulted in zero errors, a "No Errors" error message was given (which breaks mappings). When ":sourcing" a file, line length was limited to 1024 characters. CTRL-V before <EOL> was not handled Vi compatible. (Acevedo) Unexpected exit for X11 GUI, caused by SAVE_YOURSELF event. (Heimann) CTRL-X CTRL-I only found one match per line. (Acevedo) When using an illegal CTRL-X key in Insert mode, the CTRL-X mode message was stuck. Finally managed to ignore the "Quit" menu entry of the Window manager! Now Vim only exists when there are no changed buffers. Trying to start the GUI when $DISPLAY is not set resulted in a crash. When $DISPLAY is not set and gvim starts vim, title was restored to "Thanks for flying Vim". When $DISPLAY not set, starting "gvim" (dropping back to vim) and then selecting text with the mouse caused a crash. "J", with 'joinspaces' set, on a line ending in ". ", caused one space too many to be added. (Acevedo) In insert mode, a CTRL-R {regname} which didn't insert anything left the '"' on the screen. ":z10" didn't work. (Clapp) "Help "" didn't work. Renamed a lot of functions, to avoid clashes with POSIX name space. When adding characters to a line, making it wrap, the following lines were sometimes not shifted down (e.g. after a tag jump). CTRL-E, with 'so' set and cursor on last line, now does not move cursor as long as the last line is on the screen. When there are two windows, doing "^W+^W-" in the bottom window could cause the status line to be doubled (not redrawn correctly). This command would hang: ":n `cat`". Now connect stdin of the external command to /dev/null, when expanding. Fixed lalloc(0,) error for ":echo %:e:r". (Acevedo) The "+command" argument to ":split" didn't work when there was no file name. When selecting text in the GUI, which is the output of a command-line command or an external command, the inversion would sometimes remain. GUI: "-mh 70" argument was broken. Now, when menuheight is specified, it is not changed anymore. GUI: When using the scrollbar or mouse while executing an external command, this caused garbage characters. Showmatch sometimes jumped to the wrong position. Was caused by a call to findmatch() when redrawing the display (when syntax highlighting is on). Search pattern "$a $\{3} did not work correctly, also matched "a a". Problem with brace_count not being decremented. Wildcard expansion added too many non-matching file names. When 'iskeyword' contains characters like '~', "" and "#" didn't work properly. (Acevedo) On Linux, on a FAT file system, modification time can change by one second. Avoid a "file has changed" warning for a one second difference. When using the page-switching in an xterm, Vim would position the cursor on the last line of the window on exit. Also removed the cursor positioning for ":!" commands. ":g/pat/p" command (partly) overwrote the command. Now the output is on a separate line. With 'ic' and 'scs' set, a search for "Keyword", ignore-case matches were highlighted too. "^" on a line with only white space, put cursor beyond the end of the line. When deleting characters before where insertion started ('bs' == 2), could not use abbreviations. CTRL-E at end of file puts cursor below the file, in Visual mode, when 'so' is non-zero. CTRL-E didn't work when 'so' is big and the line below the window wraps. CTRL-E, when 'so' is non-zero, at end of the file, caused jumping up-down. ":retab" didn't work well when 'list' is set. Amiga: When inserting characters at the last line on the screen, causing it to wrap, messed up the display. It appears that a '\n' on the last line doesn't always cause a scroll up. In Insert mode "0<C-D><C-D>" deleted an extra character, because Vim thought that the "0" was still there. (Acevedo) "z{count}l" ignored the count. Also for "zh" et. al. (Acevedo) "S" when 'autoindent' is off didn't delete leading white space. "/<Tab>" landed on the wrong character when 'incsearch' is set. Asking a yes/no question could cause a \|hit-enter\| prompt. When the file consists of one long line (>4100 characters), making changes caused various errors and a crash. DJGPP version could not save long lines (>64000) for undo. "yw" on the last char in the file didn't work. Also fixed "6x" at the end of the line. "6X" at the start of a line fails, but does not break a mapping. In general, a movement for an operator doesn't beep or flush a mapping, but when there is nothing to operate on it beeps (this is Vi compatible). "m'" and "m`" now set the '' mark at the cursor position. Unix: Resetting of signals for external program didn't work, because SIG_DFL and NULL are the same! For "!!yes\|dd count=1\|, the yes command kept on running. Partly fixed: Unix GUI: Typeahead while executing an external command was lost. Now it's not lost while the command is producing output. Typing <S-Tab> in Insert mode, when it isn't mapped, inserted "<S-Tab>". Now it works like a normal <Tab>, just like <C-Tab> and <M-Tab>. Redrawing ruler didn't check for old value correctly (caused UMR warnings in Purify). Negative array index in finish_viminfo_history(). ":g/^/d\|mo $" deleted all the lines. The ":move" command now removes the :global mark from the moved lines. Using "vG" while the last line in the window is a "@" line, didn't update correctly. Just the "v" showed "~" lines. "daw" on the last char of the file, when it's a space, moved the cursor beyond the end of the line. When 'hlsearch' was set or reset, only the current buffer was redrawn, while this affects all windows. CTRL-^, positioning the cursor somewhere from 1/2 to 1 1/2 screen down the file, put the cursor at the bottom of the window, instead of halfway. When scrolling up for ":append" command, not all windows were updated correctly. When 'hlsearch' is set, and an auto-indent is highlighted, pressing <Esc> didn't remove the highlighting, although the indent was deleted. When 'ru' set and 'nosc', using "$j" showed a wrong ruler. Under Xfree 3.2, Shift-Tab didn't work (wrong keysym is used). Mapping <S-Tab> didn't work. Changed the key translations to use the shortest key code possible. This makes the termcode translations and mappings more consistent. Now all modifiers work in all combinations, not only with <Tab>, but also with <Space>, <CR>, etc. For Unix, restore three more signals. And Vim catches SIGINT now, so CTRL-C in Ex mode doesn't make Vim exit. ""a5Y" yanked 25 lines instead of 5. "vrxxx<Esc>" in an empty line could not be undone. A CTRL-C that breaks ":make" caused the errorfile not to be read (annoying when you want to handle what ":make" produced so far). ":0;/pat" didn't find "pat" in line 1. Search for "/test/s+1" at first char of file gave bottom-top message, or didn't work at all with 'nowrapscan'. Bug in viminfo history. Could cause a crash on exit. ":print" didn't put cursor on first non-blank in line. ":0r !cat </dev/null" left cursor in line zero, with very strange effects. With 'showcmd' set and 'timeoutlen' set to a few seconds, trick to position the cursor leftwards didn't work. AIX stty settings were restored to cs5 instead of cs8 (Winn). File name completion didn't work for "zsh" versions that put spaces between file names, instead of NULs. Changed "XawChain" to "XtChain", should work for more systems. Included quite a few fixes for rightleft mode (Lottem). Didn't ask to \|hit-enter\| when GUI is started and error messages are printed. When trying to edit a file in a non-existent directory, ended up with editing "No file". "gqap" to format a paragraph did too much redrawing. When 'hlsearch' set, only the current window was updated for a new search pattern. Sometimes error messages on startup didn't cause a \|hit-enter\| prompt, because of autocommands containing an empty line. Was possible to select part of the window in the border, below the command line. '< and '> marks were not at the correct position after linewise Visual selection. When translating a help argument to "CTRL-x", prepend or append a '_', when applicable. Blockwise visual mode wasn't correct when moving vertically over a special character (displayed as two screen characters). Renamed "struct option" to "struct vimoption" to avoid name clash with GNU getopt(). ":abclear" didn't work (but ":iabclear" and ":cabclear" did work). When 'nowrap' used, screen wasn't always updated correctly. "vim -c split file" displayed extra lines. After starting the GUI, searched the termcap for a "gui" term. When 'hls' used, search for "^$" caused a hang. When 'hls' was set, an error in the last regexp caused trouble. Unix: Only output an extra <EOL> on exit when outputted something in the alternate screen, or when there is a message that needs to be cleared. "/a\{" did strange things, depending on previous search. "c}" only redrew one line (with -u NONE). For mappings, CTRL-META-A was shown as <M-^A> instead of <MC-A>, while :map only accepts <MC-A>. Now <M-C-A> is shown. Unix: When using full path name in a tags file, which contains a link, and 'hidden' set and jumping to a tag in the current file, would get bogus ATTENTION message. Solved by always expanding file names, even when starting with '/'. 'hlsearch' highlighting of special characters (e.g., a TAB) didn't highlight the whole thing. "r<CR>" didn't work correctly on the last char of a line. Sometimes a window resize or other signal caused an endless loop, involving set_winsize(). "vim -r" didn't work, it would just hang (using tgetent() while 'term' is empty). "gk" while 'nowrap' set moved two lines up. When windows are split, a message that causes a scroll-up messed up one of the windows, which required a CTRL-L to be typed. Possible endless loop when using shell command in the GUI. Menus defined in the .vimrc were removed when GUI started. Crash when pasting with the mouse in insert mode. Crash with ":unmenu " in .gvimrc for Athena. "5>>" shifted 5 lines 5 times, instead of 1 time. CTRL-C when getting a prompt in ":global" didn't interrupt. When 'so' is non-zero, and moving the scrollbar completely to the bottom, there was a lot of flashing. GUI: Scrollbar ident must be long for DEC Alpha. Some functions called vim_regcomp() without setting reg_magic, which could lead to unpredictable magicness. Crash when clicking around the status line, could get a selection with a backwards range. When deleting more than one line characterwise, the last character wasn't deleted. GUI: Status line could be overwritten when moving the scrollbar quickly (or when 'wd' is non-zero). An ESC at the end of a ":normal" command caused a wait for a terminal code to finish. Now, a terminal code is not recognized when its start comes from a mapping or ":normal" command. Included patches from Robert Webb for GUI. Layout of the windows is now done inside Vim, instead of letting the layout manager do this. Makes Vim work with Lesstif! UMR warning in set_expand_context(). Memory leak: b_winlnum list was never freed. Removed TIOCLSET/TIOCLGET code from os_unix.c. Was changing some of the terminal settings, and looked like it wasn't doing anything good. (suggested by Juergen Weigert). Ruler overwrote "is a directory" message. When starting up, and 'cmdheight' set to > 1, first message could still be in the last line. Removed prototype for putenv() from proto.h, it's already in osdef2.h.in. In replace mode, when moving the cursor and then backspacing, wrong characters were inserted. Win32 GUI was checking for a CTRL-C too often, making it slow. Removed mappings for MS-DOS that were already covered by commands. When visually selecting all lines in a file, cursor at last line, then "J". Gave ml_get errors. Was a problem with scrolling down during redrawing. When doing a linewise operator, and then an operator with a mouse click, it was also linewise, instead of characterwise. When 'list' is set, the column of the ruler was wrong. Spurious error message for "/$b\+$". When visually selected many lines, message from ":w file" disappeared when redrawing the screen. ":set <M-b>=^[b", then insert "^[b", waited for another character. And then inserted "<M-b>" instead of the real <M-b> character. Was trying to insert K_SPECIAL x NUL. CTRL-W ] didn't use count to set window height. GUI: "-font" command-line argument didn't override 'guifont' setting from .gvimrc. (Acevedo) GUI: clipboard wasn't used for "y". And some more Win32/X11 differences fixed for the clipboard (Webb). Jumping from one help file to another help file, with 'compatible' set, removed the 'help' flag from the buffer. File-writable bit could be reset when using ":w!" for a readonly file. There was a wait for CTRL-O n in Insert mode, because the search pattern was shown. Reduced wait, to allow reading a message, from 10 to 3 seconds. It seemed nothing was happening. ":recover" found same swap file twice. GUI: "yy only worked the second time (when pasting to an xterm)." DJGPP version (dos32): The system flags were cleared. Dos32 version: Underscores were sometimes replaced with y-umlaut (Levin). Version 4.1 of ncurses can't handle tputs("", ..). Avoid calling tputs() with an empty string. <S-Tab> in the command-line worked like CTRL-P when no completion started yet. Now it does completion, last match first. Unix: Could get annoying "can't write viminfo" message after doing "su". Now the viminfo file is overwritten, and the user set back to the original one. ":set term=builtin_gui" started the GUI in a wrong way. Now it's not allowed anymore. But "vim -T gui" does start the GUI correctly now. GUI: Triple click after a line only put last char in selection, when it is a single character word. When the window is bigger than the screen, the scrolling up of messages was wrong (e.g. ":vers", ":hi"). Also when the bottom part of the window was obscured by another window. When using a wrong option only an error message is printed, to avoid that the usage information makes it scroll off the screen. When exiting because of not being able to read from stdin, didn't preserve the swap files properly. Visual selecting all chars in more than one line, then hit "x" didn't leave an empty line. For one line it did leave an empty line. Message for which autocommand is executing messed up file write message (for FileWritePost event). "vim -h" included "-U" even when GUI is not available, and "-l" when lisp is not available. Crash for ":he <C-A>" (command-line longer than screen). ":s/this/that/gc", type "y" two times, then undo, did reset the modified option, even though the file is still modified. Empty lines in a tags file caused a ":tag" to be aborted. When hitting 'q' at the more prompt for ":menu", still scrolled a few lines. In an xterm that uses the bold trick a single row of characters could remain after an erased bold character. Now erase one extra char after the bold char, like for the GUI. ":pop!" didn't work. When the reading a buffer was interrupted, ":w" should not be able to overwrite the file, ":w!" is required. ":cf%" caused a crash. ":gui longfilename", when forking is enabled, could leave part of the longfilename at the shell prompt. ============================================================================== VERSION 5.1 version-5.1* Improvements made between version 5.0 and 5.1. This was mostly a bug-fix release, not many new features. Changed changed-5.1 ------- The expand() function now separates file names with <NL> instead of a space. This avoids problems for file names with embedded spaces. To get the old result, use substitute(expand(foo), "\n", " ", "g"). For Insert-expanding dictionaries allow a backslash to be used for wildchars. Allows expanding "ze\kra", when 'isk' includes a backslash. New icon for the Win32 GUI. ":tag", ":tselect" etc. only use the argument as a regexp when it starts with '/'. Avoids that ":tag xx~" gives an error message: "No previous sub. regexp". Also, when the :tag argument contained wildcard characters, it was not Vi compatible. When using '/', the argument is taken literally too, with a higher priority, so it's found before wildcard matches. Only when the '/' is used are matches with different case found, even though 'ignorecase' isn't set. Changed "g^]" to only do ":tselect" when there is more than on matching tag. Changed some of the default colors, because they were not very readable on a dark background. A character offset to a search pattern can move the cursor to the next or previous line. Also fixes that "/pattern/e+2" got stuck on "pattern" at the end of a line. Double-clicks in the status line do no longer start Visual mode. Dragging a status line no longer stops Visual mode. Perl interface: Buffers() and Windows() now use more logical arguments, like they are used in the rest of Vim (Moore). Init '" mark to the first character of the first line. Makes it possible to use '" in an autocommand without getting an error message. Added added-5.1 ----- "shell_error" internal variable: result of last shell command. ":echohl" command: Set highlighting for ":echo". 'S' flag in 'highlight' and StatusLineNC highlight group: highlighting for status line of not-current window. Default is to use bold for current window. Added buffer_name() and buffer_number() functions (Aaron). Added flags argument "g" to substitute() function (Aaron). Added winheight() function. Win32: When an external command starts with "start ", no console is opened for it (Aaron). Win32 console: Use termcap codes for bold/reverse based on the current console attributes. Configure check for "strip". (Napier) CTRL-R CTRL-R x in Insert mode: Insert the contents of a register literally, instead of as typed. Made a few "No match" error messages more informative by adding the pattern that didn't match. "make install" now also copies the macro files. tools/tcltags, a shell script to generate a tags file from a TCL file. "--with-tlib" setting for configure. Easy way to use termlib: "./configure --with-tlib=termlib". 'u' flag in 'cino' for setting the indent for contained () parts. When Win32 OLE version can't load the registered type library, ask the user if he wants to register Vim now. (Erhardt) Win32 with OLE: When registered automatically, exit Vim. Included VisVim 1.1b, with a few enhancements and the new icon (Heiko Erhardt). Added patch from Vince Negri for Win32s support. Needs to be compiled with VC 4.1! Perl interface: Added $curbuf. Rationalized Buffers() and Windows(). (Moore) Added "group" argument to Msg(). Included Perl files in DOS source archive. Changed Makefile.bor and Makefile.w32 to support building a Win32 version with Perl included. Included new Makefile.w32 from Ken Scott. Now it's able to make all Win32 versions, including OLE, Perl and Python. Added CTRL-W g ] and CTRL-W g ^]: split window and do g] or g^]. Added "g]" to always do ":tselect" for the ident under the cursor. Added ":tjump" and ":stjump" commands. Improved listing of ":tselect" when tag names are a bit long. Included patches for the Macintosh version. Also for Python interface. (St-Amant) ":buf foo" now also restores cursor column, when the buffer was used before. Adjusted the Makefile for different final destinations for the syntax files and scripts (for Debian Linux). Amiga: $VIM can be used everywhere. When $VIM is not defined, "VIM:" is used. This fixes that "VIM:" had to be assigned for the help files, and $VIM set for the syntax files. Now either of these work. Some xterms send vt100 compatible function keys F1-F4. Since it's not possible to detect this, recognize both type of keys and translate them to <F1> - <F4>. Added "VimEnter" autocommand. Executed after loading all the startup stuff. BeOS version now also runs on Intel CPUs (Seibert). Fixed fixed-5.1 ----- ":ts" changed position in the tag stack when cancelled with <CR>. ":ts" changed the cursor position for CTRL-T when cancelled with <CR>. ":tn" would always jump to the second match. Was using the wrong entry in the tag stack. Doing "tag foo", then ":tselect", overwrote the original cursor position in the tag stack. "make install" changed the vim.1 manpage in a wrong way, causing "doc/doc" to appear for the documentation files. When compiled with MAX_FEAT, xterm mouse handling failed. Was caused by DEC mouse handling interfering. Was leaking memory when using selection in X11. CTRL-D halfway a command-line left some characters behind the first line(s) of the listing. When expanding directories for ":set path=", put two extra backslashes before a space in a directory name. When 'lisp' set, first line of a function would be indented. Now its indent is set to zero. And use the indent of the first previous line that is at the same () level. Added test33. "so<Esc>u" in an empty file didn't work. DOS: "seek error in swap file write" errors, when using DOS 6.2 share.exe, because the swap file was made hidden. It's no longer hidden. ":global" command would sometimes not execute on a matching line. Happened when a data block is full in ml_replace(). For AIX use a tgetent buffer of 2048 bytes, instead of 1024. Win32 gvim now only sets the console size for external commands to 25x80 on Windows 95, not on NT. Win32 console: Dead key could cause a crash, because of a missing "WINAPI" (Deshpande). The right mouse button started Visual mode, even when 'mouse' is empty, and in the command-line, a left click moved the cursor when 'mouse' is empty. In Visual mode, 'n' in 'mouse' would be used instead of 'v'. A blinking cursor or focus change cleared a non-Visual selection. CTRL-Home and CTRL-End didn't work for MS-DOS versions. Could include NUL in 'iskeyword', causing a crash when doing insert mode completion. Use _dos_commit() to flush the swap file to disk for MSDOS 16 bit version. In mappings, CTRL-H was replaced by the backspace key code. This caused problems when it was used as text, e.g. ":map _U :%s/.^H//g<CR>". ":set t_Co=0" was not handled like a normal term. Now it's translated into ":set t_Co=", which works. For ":syntax keyword" the "transparent" option did work, although not mentioned in the help. But synID() returned wrong name. "gqG" in a file with one-word-per-line (e.g. a dictionary) was very slow and not interruptible. "gq" operator inserted screen lines in the wrong situation. Now screen lines are inserted or deleted when this speeds up displaying. cindent was wrong when an "if" contained "((". 'r' flag in 'viminfo' was not used for '%'. Could get files in the buffer list from removable media. Win32 GUI with OLE: if_ole_vc.mak could not be converted into a project. Hand-edited to fix this... With 'nosol' set, doing "$kdw" below an empty line positioned the cursor at the end of the line. Dos32 version changed "\dir\file" into "/dir/file", to work around a DJGPP bug. That bug appears to have been fixed, therefore this translation has been removed. "/^" didn't work (find '' in first column). "<afile>" was not always set for autocommands. E.g., for ":au BufEnter * let &tags = expand("<afile>:p:h") . "/tags". In an xterm, the window may be a child of the outer xterm window. Use the parent window when getting the title and icon names. (Smith) When starting with "gvim -bg black -fg white", the value of 'background' is only set after reading the .gvimrc file. This causes a ":syntax on" to use the wrong colors. Now allow using ":gui" to open the GUI window and set the colors. Previously ":gui" in a gvimrc crashed Vim. tempname() returned the same name all the time, unless the file was actually created. Now there are at least 26 different names. File name used for <afile> was sometimes full path, sometimes file name relative to current directory. When 'background' was set after the GUI window was opened, it could change colors that were set by the user in the .gvimrc file. Now it only changes colors that have not been set by the user. Ignore special characters after a CSI in the GUI version. These could be interpreted as special characters in a wrong way. (St-Amant) Memory leak in farsi code, when using search or ":s" command. Farsi string reversing for a mapping was only done for new mappings. Now it also works for replacing a mapping. Crash in Win32 when using a file name longer than _MAX_PATH. (Aaron) When BufDelete autocommands were executed, some things for the buffer were already deleted (esp. Perl stuff). Perl interface: Buffer specific items were deleted too soon; fixes "screen no longer exists" messages. (Moore) The Perl functions didn't set the 'modified' flag. link.sh did not return an error on exit, which may cause Vim to start installing, even though there is no executable to install. (Riehm) Vi incompatibility: In Vi "." redoes the "y" command. Added the 'y' flag to 'cpoptions'. Only for 'compatible' mode. ":echohl" defined a new group, when the argument was not an existing group. "syn on" and ":syn off" could move the cursor, if there is a hidden buffer that is shorter that the current cursor position. The " mark was not set when doing ":b file". When a "nextgroup" is used with "skipwhite" in syntax highlighting, space at the end of the line made the nextgroup also be found in the next line. ":he g<CTRL-D>", then ":" and backspace to the start didn't redraw. X11 GUI: "gvim -rv" reversed the colors twice on Sun. Now Vim checks if the result is really reverse video (background darker than foreground). "cat link.sh \| vim -" didn't set syntax highlighting. Win32: Expanding "file.sw?" matched ".file.swp". This is an error of FindnextFile() that we need to work around. (Kilgore) "gqgq" gave an "Invalid lnum" error on the last line. Formatting with "gq" didn't format the first line after a change of comment leader. There was no check for out-of-memory in win_alloc(). "vim -h" didn't mention "-register" and "-unregister" for the OLE version. Could not increase 'cmdheight' when the last window is only one line. Now other windows are also made smaller, when necessary. Added a few {} to avoid "suggest braces around" warnings from gcc 2.8.x. Changed return type of main() from void to int. (Nam) Using '~' twice in a substitute pattern caused a crash. "syn on" and ":syn off" could scroll the window, if there is a hidden buffer that is shorter that the current cursor position. ":if 0 \| if 1 \| endif \| endif" didn't work. Same for ":while" and "elseif". With two windows on modified files, with 'autowrite' set, cursor in second window, ":qa" gave a warning for the file in the first window, but then auto-wrote the file in the second window. (Webb) Win32 GUI scrollbar could only handle 32767 lines. Also makes the intellimouse wheel use the configurable number of scrolls. (Robinson) When using 'patchmode', and the backup file is on another partition, the file copying messed up the write-file message. GUI X11: Alt-Backspace and Alt-Delete didn't work. "`0" could put the cursor after the last character in the line, causing trouble for other commands, like "i". When completing tags in insert mode with ^X^], some matches were skipped, because the compare with other tags was wrong. E.g., when "mnuFileSave" was already there, "mnuFile" would be skipped. (Negri) When scrolling up/down, a syntax item with "keepend" didn't work properly. Now the flags are also stored for the syntax state at the start of each line. When 'ic' was changed while 'hlsearch' is on, there was no redraw to show the effect. Win32 GUI: Don't display "No write since last chance" in a message box, but in the Vim window. ============================================================================== VERSION 5.2 version-5.2 Improvements made between version 5.1 and 5.2. Long lines editable long-lines ------------------- A single long line that doesn't fit in the window doesn't show a line of @@@ anymore. Redrawing starts at a character further on in the line, such that the text around the cursor can be seen. This makes it possible to edit these long lines when wrapping is on. File browser added file-browser-5.2 ------------------ The Win32, Athena and Motif GUI bring up a file requester if the user asks to ":browse" for the ":e", ":w", ":r", ":so", ":redirect" and ":mkexrc/vimrc/vsess" commands. ":browse e /foo/bar" opens the requester in the /foo/bar directory, so you can have nice mapping rhs's like ":browse so $vim/macros". If no initial dir specified for ":browse e", can be compiled to either begin in the current directory, or that of the current buffer. (Negri and Kahn) Added the 'browsedir' option, with value "current", "last" or "buffer". Tells whether a browse dialog starts in last used dir, dir of current buffer, or current dir. ":browse w" is unaffected. The default menus have been changed to use the ":browse" command. Dialogs added dialogs-added ------------- Added the ":confirm" command. Works on ":e", ":q", ":w", ":cl". Win32, Athena and Motif GUI uses a window-dialog. All other platforms can use prompt in command-line. ":confirm qa" offers a choice to save all modified files. confirm() function: allows user access to the confirm engine. Added 'v' flag to 'guioptions'. When included, a vertical button layout is always used for the Win32 GUI dialog. Otherwise, a horizontal layout is preferred. Win32 GUI: ":promptfind" and ":promptrepl" pop up a dialog to find/replace. To be used from a menu entry. (Negri) Popup menu added popup-menu-added ---------------- When the 'mousemodel' option is set to "popup", the right mouse button displays the top level menu headed with "PopUp" as pop-up context menu. The "PopUp" menu is not displayed in the normal menu bar. This currently only works for Win32 and Athena GUI. Select mode added new-Select-mode ----------------- A new mode has been added: "Select mode". It is like Visual mode, but typing a printable character replaces the selection. - CTRL-G can be used to toggle between Visual mode and Select mode. - CTRL-O can be used to switch from Select mode to Visual mode for one command. - Added 'selectmode' option: tells when to start Select mode instead of Visual mode. - Added 'mousemodel' option: Change use of mouse buttons. - Added 'keymodel' option: tells to use shifted special keys to start a Visual or Select mode selection. - Added ":behave". Can be used to quickly set 'selectmode', 'mousemodel' and 'keymodel' for MS-Windows and xterm behavior. - The xterm-like selection is now called modeless selection. - Visual mode mappings and menus are used in Select mode. They automatically switch to Visual mode first. Afterwards, reselect the area, unless it was deleted. The "gV" command can be used in a mapping to skip the reselection. - Added the "gh", "gH" and "g^H" commands: start Select (highlight) mode. - Backspace in Select mode deletes the selected area. "mswin.vim" script. Sets behavior mostly like MS-Windows. Session files added new-session-files ------------------- ":mks[ession]" acts like "mkvimrc", but also writes the full filenames of the currently loaded buffers and current directory, so that :so'ing the file re-loads those files and cd's to that directory. Also stores and restores windows. File names are made relative to session file. The 'sessionoptions' option sets behavior of ":mksession". (Negri) User defined functions and commands new-user-defined ----------------------------------- Added user defined functions. Defined with ":function" until ":endfunction". Called with "Func()". Allows the use of a variable number of arguments. Included support for local variables "l:name". Return a value with ":return". See \|:function\|. Call a function with ":call". When using a range, the function is called for each line in the range. \|:call\| "macros/justify.vim" is an example of using user defined functions. User functions do not change the last used search pattern or the command to be redone with ".". 'maxfuncdepth' option. Restricts the depth of function calls. Avoids trouble (crash because of out-of-memory) when a function uses endless recursion. User definable Ex commands: ":command", ":delcommand" and ":comclear". (Moore) See \|user-commands\|. New interfaces interfaces-5.2 -------------- Tcl interface. (Wilken) See \|tcl\|. Uses the ":tcl", ":tcldo" and "tclfile" commands. Cscope support. (Kahn) (Sekera) See \|cscope\|. Uses the ":cscope" and ":cstag" commands. Uses the options 'cscopeprg', 'cscopetag', 'cscopetagorder' and 'cscopeverbose'. New ports ports-5.2 --------- Amiga GUI port. (Nielsen) Not tested much yet! RISC OS version. (Thomas Leonard) See \|riscos\|. This version can run either with a GUI or in text mode, depending upon where it is invoked. Deleted the "os_archie" files, they were not working anyway. Multi-byte support new-multi-byte new-multibyte ------------------ MultiByte support for Win32 GUI. (Baek) The 'fileencoding' option decides how the text in the file is encoded. ":ascii" works for multibyte characters. Multi-byte characters work on Windows 95, even when using the US version. (Aaron) Needs to be enabled in feature.h. This has not been tested much yet! New functions new-functions-5.2 ------------- \|browse()\| puts up a file requester when available. (Negri) \|escape()\| escapes characters in a string with a backslash. \|fnamemodify()\| modifies a file name. \|input()\| asks the user to enter a line. (Aaron) There is a separate history for lines typed for the input() function. \|argc()\| \|argv()\| can be used to access the argument list. \|winbufnr()\| buffer number of a window. (Aaron) \|winnr()\| window number. (Aaron) \|matchstr()\| Return matched string. \|setline()\| Set a line to a string value. New options new-options-5.2 ----------- 'allowrevins' Enable the CTRL-_ command in Insert and Command-line mode. 'browsedir' Tells in which directory a browse dialog starts. 'confirm' when set, :q :w and :e commands always act as if ":confirm" is used. (Negri) 'cscopeprg' 'cscopetag' 'cscopetagorder' 'cscopeverbose' Set the \|cscope\| behavior. 'filetype' RISC-OS specific type of file. 'grepformat' 'grepprg' For the \|:grep\| command. 'keymodel' Tells to use shifted special keys to start a Visual or Select mode selection. 'listchars' Set character to show in 'list' mode for end-of-line, tabs and trailing spaces. (partly by Smith) Also sets character to display if a line doesn't fit when 'nowrap' is set. 'matchpairs' Allows matching '<' with '>', and other single character pairs. 'mousefocus' Window focus follows mouse (partly by Terhaar). Changing the focus with a keyboard command moves the pointer to that window. Also move the pointer when changing the window layout (split window, change window height, etc.). 'mousemodel' Change use of mouse buttons. 'selection' When set to "inclusive" or "exclusive", the cursor can go one character past the end of the line in Visual or Select mode. When set to "old" the old behavior is used. When "inclusive", the character under the cursor is included in the operation. When using "exclusive", the new "ve" entry of 'guicursor' is used. The default is a vertical bar. 'selectmode' Tells when to start Select mode instead of Visual mode. 'sessionoptions' Sets behavior of ":mksession". (Negri) 'showfulltag' When completing a tag in Insert mode, show the tag search pattern (tidied up) as a choice as well (if there is one). 'swapfile' Whether to use a swap file for a buffer. 'syntax' When it is set, the syntax by that name is loaded. Allows for setting a specific syntax from a modeline. 'ttymouse' Allows using xterm mouse codes for terminals which name doesn't start with "xterm". 'wildignore' List of patterns for files that should not be completed at all. 'wildmode' Can be used to set the type of expansion for 'wildchar'. Replaces the CTRL-T command for command line completion. Don't beep when listing all matches. 'winaltkeys' Win32 and Motif GUI. When "yes", ALT keys are handled entirely by the window system. When "no", ALT keys are never used by the window system. When "menu" it depends on whether a key is a menu shortcut. 'winminheight' Minimal height for each window. Default is 1. Set to 0 if you want zero-line windows. Scrollbar is removed for zero-height windows. (Negri) New Ex commands new-ex-commands-5.2 --------------- \|:badd\| Add file name to buffer list without side effects. (Negri) \|:behave\| Quickly set MS-Windows or xterm behavior. \|:browse\| Use file selection dialog. \|:call\| Call a function, optionally with a range. \|:cnewer\| \|:colder\| To access a stack of quickfix error lists. \|:comclear\| Clear all user-defined commands. \|:command\| Define a user command. \|:continue\| Go back to ":while". \|:confirm\| Ask confirmation if something unexpected happens. \|:cscope\| Execute cscope command. \|:cstag\| Use cscope to jump to a tag. \|:delcommand\| Delete a user-defined command. \|:delfunction\| Delete a user-defined function. \|:endfunction\| End of user-defined function. \|:function\| Define a user function. \|:grep\| Works similar to ":make". (Negri) \|:mksession\| Create a session file. \|:nohlsearch\| Stop 'hlsearch' highlighting for a moment. \|:Print\| This is Vi compatible. Does the same as ":print". \|:promptfind\| Search dialog (Win32 GUI). \|:promptrepl\| Search/replace dialog (Win32 GUI). \|:return\| Return from a user-defined function. \|:simalt\| Win32 GUI: Simulate alt-key pressed. (Negri) \|:smagic\| Like ":substitute", but always use 'magic'. \|:snomagic\| Like ":substitute", but always use 'nomagic'. \|:tcl\| Execute TCL command. \|:tcldo\| Execute TCL command for a range of lines. \|:tclfile\| Execute a TCL script file. \|:tearoff\| Tear-off a menu (Win32 GUI). \|:tmenu\| \|:tunmenu\| Win32 GUI: menu tooltips. (Negri) \|:star\| :* Execute a register. Changed changed-5.2 ------- Renamed functions: buffer_exists() -> bufexists() buffer_name() -> bufname() buffer_number() -> bufnr() file_readable() -> filereadable() highlight_exists() -> hlexists() highlightID() -> hlID() last_buffer_nr() -> bufnr("$") The old ones are still there, for backwards compatibility. The CTRL-_ command in Insert and Command-line mode is only available when the new 'allowrevins' option is set. Avoids that people who want to type SHIFT-_ accidentally enter reverse Insert mode, and don't know how to get out. When a file name path in ":tselect" listing is too long, remove a part in the middle and put "..." there. Win32 GUI: Made font selector appear inside Vim window, not just any odd place. (Negri) ":bn" skips help buffers, unless currently in a help buffer. (Negri) When there is a status line and only one window, don't show '^' in the status line of the current window. ":" used to be used for "'<,'>", the Visual area. But in Vi it's used as an alternative for ":@". When 'cpoptions' includes '' this is Vi compatible. When 'insertmode' is set, using CTRL-O to execute a mapping will work like 'insertmode' was not set. This allows "normal" mappings to be used even when 'insertmode' is set. When 'mouse' was set already (e.g., in the .vimrc file), don't automatically set 'mouse' when the GUI starts. Removed the 'N', 'I' and 'A' flags from the 'mouse' option. Renamed "toggle option" to "boolean option". Some people thought that ":set xyz" would toggle 'xyz' on/off each time. The internal variable "shell_error" contains the error code from the shell, instead of just 0 or 1. When inserting or replacing, typing CTRL-V CTRL-<CR> used to insert "<C-CR>". That is not very useful. Now the CTRL key is ignored and a <CR> is inserted. Same for all other "normal" keys with modifiers. Mapping these modified key combinations is still possible. In Insert mode, <C-CR> and <S-Space> can be inserted by using CTRL-K and then the special character. Moved "quotes" file to doc/quotes.txt, and "todo" file to doc/todo.txt. They are now installed like other documentation files. winheight() function returns -1 for a non-existing window. It used to be zero, but that is a valid height now. The default for 'selection' is "inclusive", which makes a difference when using "$" or the mouse to move the cursor in Visual mode. ":q!" does not exit when there are changed buffers which are hidden. Use ":qa!" to exit anyway. Disabled the Perl/Python/Tcl interfaces by default. Not many people use them and they make the executable a lot bigger. The internal scripting language is now powerful enough for most tasks. The strings from the 'titlestring' and 'iconstring' options are used untranslated for the Window title and icon. This allows for including a <CR>. Previously a <CR> would be shown as "^M" (two characters). When a mapping is started in Visual or Select mode which was started from Insert mode (the mode shows "(insert) Visual"), don't return to Insert mode until the mapping has ended. Makes it possible to use a mapping in Visual mode that also works when the Visual mode was started from Select mode. Menus in $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim no longer overrule existing menus. This helps when defining menus in the .vimrc file, or when sourcing mswin.vim. Unix: Use /var/tmp for .swp files, if it exists. Files there survive a reboot (at least on Linux). Added added-5.2 ----- --with-motif-lib configure argument. Allows for using a static Motif library. Support for mapping numeric keypad +,-,,/ keys. (Negri) When not mapped, they produce the normal character. Win32 GUI: When directory dropped on gVim, cd there and edit new buffer. (Negri) Win32 GUI: Made CTRL-Break work as interrupt, so that CTRL-C can be used for mappings. In the output of ":map", highlight the "" to make clear it's not part of the rhs. (Roemer) When showing the Visual area, the cursor is not switched off, so that it can be located. The Visual area is now highlighted with a grey background in the GUI. This makes the cursor visible when it's also reversed. Win32: When started with single full pathname (e.g. via double-clicked file), cd to that file's directory. (Negri) Win32 GUI: Tear-off menus, with ":tearoff <menu-name>" command. (Negri) 't' option to 'guioptions': Add tearoff menu items for Win32 GUI and Motif. It's included by default. Win32 GUI: tearoff menu with submenus is indicated with a ">>". (Negri) Added ^Kaa and ^KAA digraphs. Added "euro" symbol to digraph.c. (Corry) Support for Motif menu shortcut keys, using '&' like MS-Windows (Ollis). Other GUIs ignore '&' in a menu name. DJGPP: Faster screen updating (John Lange). Clustering of syntax groups ":syntax cluster" (Bigham). Including syntax files: ":syntax include" (Bigham). Keep column when switching buffers, when 'nosol' is set (Radics). Number function for Perl interface. Support for Intellimouse in Athena GUI. (Jensen) ":sleep" also accepts an argument in milliseconds, when "m" is used. Added 'p' flag in 'guioptions': Install callbacks for enter/leave window events. Makes cursor blinking work for Terhaar, breaks it for me. "--help" and "--version" command-line arguments. Non-text in ":list" output is highlighted with NonText. Added text objects: "i(" and "i)" as synonym for "ib". "i{" and "i}" as synonym for "iB". New: "i<" and "i>", to select <thing>. All this also for "a" objects. 'O' flag in 'shortmess': message for reading a file overwrites any previous message. (Negri) Win32 GUI: 'T' flag in 'guioptions': switch toolbar on/off. Included a list with self-made toolbar bitmaps. (Negri) Added menu priority for sub-menus. Implemented for Win32 and Motif GUI. Display menu priority with ":menu" command. Default and Syntax menus now include priority for items. Allows inserting menu items in between the default ones. When the 'number' option is on, highlight line numbers with the LineNr group. "Ignore" highlight group: Text highlighted with this is made blank. It is used to hide special characters in the help text. Included Exuberant Ctags version 2.3, with C++ support, Java support and recurse into directories. (Hiebert) When a tags file is not sorted, and this is detected (in a simplistic way), an error message is given. ":unlet" accepts a "!", to ignore non-existing variables, and accepts more than one argument. (Roemer) Completion of variable names for ":unlet". (Roemer) When there is an error in a function which is called by another function, show the call stack in the error message. New file name modifiers: ":.": reduce file name to be relative to current dir. ":~": reduce file name to be relative to home dir. ":s?pat?sub?": substitute "pat" with "sub" once. ":gs?pat?sub?": substitute "pat" with "sub" globally. New configure arguments: --enable-min-features and --enable-max-features. Easy way to switch to minimum or maximum features. New compile-time feature: modify_fname. For file name modifiers, e.g, "%:p:h". Can be disabled to save some code (16 bit DOS). When using whole-line completion in Insert mode, and 'cindent' is set, indent the line properly. MSDOS and Win32 console: 'guicursor' sets cursor thickness. (Negri) Included new set of Farsi fonts. (Shiran) Accelerator text now also works in Motif. All menus can be defined with & for mnemonic and TAB for accelerator text. They are ignored on systems that don't support them. When removing or replacing a menu, compare the menu name only up to the <Tab> before the mnemonic. 'i' and 'I' flags after ":substitute": ignore case or not. "make install" complains if the runtime files are missing. Unix: When finding an existing swap file that can't be opened, mention the owner of the file in the ATTENTION message. The 'i', 't' and 'k' options in 'complete' now also print the place where they are looking for matches. (Acevedo) "gJ" command: Join lines without inserting a space. Setting 'keywordprg' to "man -s" is handled specifically. The "-s" is removed when no count given, the count is added otherwise. Configure checks if "man -s 2 read" works, and sets the default for 'keywordprg' accordingly. If you do a ":bd" and there is only one window open, Vim tries to move to a buffer of the same type (i.e. non-help to non-help, help to help), for consistent behavior to :bnext/:bprev. (Negri) Allow "<Nop>" to be used as the rhs of a mapping. ":map xx <Nop>", maps "xx" to nothing at all. In a ":menu" command, "<Tab>" can be used instead of a real tab, in the menu path. This makes it more easy to type, no backslash needed. POSIX compatible character classes for regexp patterns: [:alnum:], [:alpha:], [:blank:], [:cntrl:], [:digit:], [:graph:], [:lower:], [:print:], [:punct:], [:space:], [:upper:] and [:xdigit:]. (Briscoe) regexp character classes (for fast syntax highlight matching): digits: \d [0-9] \D not digit (Roemer) hex: \x [0-9a-fA-F] \X not hex octal: \o [0-7] \O not octal word: \w [a-zA-Z0-9_] \W not word head: \h [a-zA-Z_] \H not head alphabetic: \a [a-zA-Z] \A not alphabetic lowercase: \l [a-z] \L not lowercase uppercase: \u [A-Z] \U not uppercase ":set" now accepts "+=", \|^=" and "-=": add or remove parts of a string option, add or subtract a number from a number option. A comma is automagically inserted or deleted for options that are a comma separated list. Filetype feature, for autocommands. Uses a file type instead of a pattern to match a file. Currently only used for RISC OS. (Leonard) In a pattern for an autocommand, environment variables can be used. They are expanded when the autocommand is defined. "BufFilePre" and "BufFilePost" autocommand evens: Before and after applying the ":file" command to change the name of a buffer. "VimLeavePre" autocommand event: before writing the .viminfo file. For autocommands argument: <abuf> is buffer number, like <afile>. Made syntax highlighting a bit faster when scrolling backwards, by keeping more syncing context. Win32 GUI: Made scrolling faster by avoiding a redraw when deleting or inserting screen lines. GUI: Made scrolling faster by not redrawing the scrollbar when the thumb moved less than a pixel. Included ":highlight" in bugreport.vim. Created install.exe program, for simplistic installation on DOS and MS-Windows. New register: '_', the black hole. When writing to it, nothing happens. When reading from it, it's always empty. Can be used to avoid a delete or change command to modify the registers, or reduce memory use for big changes. CTRL-V xff enters character by hex number. CTRL-V o123 enters character by octal number. (Aaron) Improved performance of syntax highlighting by skipping check for "keepend" when there isn't any. Moved the mode message ("-- INSERT --") to the last line of the screen. When 'cmdheight' is more than one, messages will remain readable. When listing matching files, they are also sorted on 'suffixes', such that they are listed in the same order as CTRL-N retrieves them. synIDattr() takes a third argument (optionally), which tells for which terminal type to get the attributes for. This makes it possible to run 2html.vim outside of gvim (using color names instead of #RRGGBB). Memory profiling, only for debugging. Prints at exit, and with "g^A" command. (Kahn) DOS: When using a file in the current drive, remove the drive name: "A:\dir\file" -> "\dir\file". This helps when moving a session file on a floppy from "A:\dir" to "B:\dir". Increased number of remembered jumps from 30 to 50 per window. Command to temporarily disable 'hls' highlighting until the next search: ":nohlsearch". "gp" and "gP" commands: like "p" and "P", but leave the cursor just after the inserted text. Used for the CTRL-V command in MS-Windows mode. Fixed fixed-5.2 ----- Win32 GUI: Could draw text twice in one place, for fake-bold text. Removed this, Windows will handle the bold text anyway. (Negri) patch 5.1.1: Win32s GUI: pasting caused a crash (Negri) patch 5.1.2: When entering another window, where characters before the cursor have been deleted, could have a cursor beyond the end of the line. patch 5.1.3: Win32s GUI: Didn't wait for external command to finish. (Negri) patch 5.1.4: Makefile.w32 can now also be used to generate the OLE version (Scott). patch 5.1.5: Crashed when using syntax highlighting: cursor on a line that doesn't fit in the window, and splitting that line in two. patch 5.1.6: Visual highlighting bug: After ":set nowrap", go to end of line (so that the window scrolls horizontally), ":set wrap". Following Visual selection was wrong. patch 5.1.7: When 'tagbsearch' off, and 'ignorecase' off, still could do binary searching. patch 5.1.8: Win32 GUI: dragging the scrollbar didn't update the ruler. patch 5.1.9: Using ":gui" in .vimrc, caused xterm cursor to disappear. patch 5.1.10: A CTRL-N in Insert mode could cause a crash, when a buffer without a name exists. patch 5.1.11: "make test" didn't work in the shadow directory. Also adjusted "make shadow" for the links in the ctags directory. patch 5.1.12: "buf 123foo" used "123" as a count, instead as the start of a buffer name. patch 5.1.13: When completing file names on the command-line, reallocating the command-line may go wrong. patch 5.1.14: ":[nvci]unmenu" removed menu for all modes, when full menu patch specified. Graceful handling of NULLs in drag-dropped file list. Handle passing NULL to Fullname_save(). (Negri) Win32: ":!start" to invoke a program without opening a console, swapping screens, or waiting for completion in either console or gui version, e.g. you can type ":!start winfile". ALSO fixes "can't delete swapfile after spawning a shell" bug. (enhancement of Aaron patch) (Negri) Win32 GUI: Fix CTRL-X default keymapping to be more Windows-like. (Negri) Shorten filenames on startup. If in /foo/bar, entering "vim ../bar/bang.c" displays "bang.c" in status bar, not "/foo/bar/bang.c" (Negri) Win32 GUI: No copy to Windows clipboard when it's not desired. Win32s: Fix pasting from clipboard - made an assumption not valid under Win32s. (Negri) Win32 GUI: Speed up calls to gui_mch_draw_string() and cursor drawing functions. (Negri) Win32 GUI: Middle mouse button emulation now works in GUI! (Negri) Could skip messages when combining commands in one line, e.g.: ":echo "hello" \| write". Perl interpreter was disabled before executing VimLeave autocommands. Could not use ":perl" in them. (Aaron) Included patch for the Intellimouse (Aaron/Robinson). Could not set 'ls' to one, when last window has only one line. (Mitterand) Fixed a memory leak when removing menus. After ":only" the ruler could overwrite a message. Dos32: removed changing of __system_flags. It appears to work better when it's left at the default value. p_aleph was an int instead of along, caused trouble on systems where sizeof(int) != sizeof(long). (Schmidt) Fixed enum problems for Ultrix. (Seibert) Small redraw problem: "dd" on last line in file cleared wrong line. Didn't interpret "cmd \| endif" when "cmd" starts with a range. E.g. "if 0 \| .d \| endif". Command "+\|" on the last line of the file caused ml_get errors. Memory underrun in eval_vars(). (Aaron) Don't rename files in a difficult way, except on Windows 95 (was also done on Windows NT). Win32 GUI: An external command that produces an error code put the error message in a dialog box. had to close the window and close the dialog. Now the error code is displayed in the console. (Negri) "comctl32.lib" was missing from the GUI libraries in Makefile.w32. (Battle) In Insert mode, when entering a window in Insert mode, allow the cursor to be one char beyond the text. Renamed machine dependent rename() to mch_rename(). Define mch_rename() to rename() when it works properly. Rename vim_chdir() to mch_chdir(), because it's machine dependent. When using an arglist, and editing file 5 of 4, ":q" could cause "-1 more files to edit" error. In if_python.c, VimCommand() caused an assertion when a do_cmdline() failed. Moved the Python_Release_Vim() to before the VimErrorCheck(). (Harkins) Give an error message for an unknown argument after "--". E.g. for "vim --xyz". The FileChangedShell autocommand didn't set <afile> to the name of the changed file. When doing ":e file", causing the attention message, there sometimes was no hit-enter prompt. Caused by empty line or "endif" at end of sourced file. A large number of patches for the VMS version. (Hunsaker) When CTRL-L completion (find longest match) results in a shorter string, no completion is done (happens with ":help"). Crash in Win32 GUI version, when using an Ex "@" command, because LinePointers[] was used while not initialized. Win32 GUI: allow mapping of Alt-Space. Output from "vim -h" was sent to stderr. Sending it to stdout is better, so one can use "vim -h \| more". In command-line mode, ":vi[!]" should reload the file, just like ":e[!]". In Ex mode, ":vi" stops Ex mode, but doesn't reload the file. This is Vi compatible. When using a ":set ls=1" in the .gvimrc file, would get a status line for a single window. (Robinson) Didn't give an error message for ":set ai,xx". (Roemer) Didn't give an error message for ":set ai?xx", ":set ai&xx", ":set ai!xx". Non-Unix systems: That a file exists but is unreadable is recognized as "new file". Now check for existence when file can't be opened (like Unix). Unix: osdef.sh didn't handle declarations where the function name is at the first column of the line. DJGPP: Shortening of file names didn't work properly, because get_cwd() returned a path with backslashes. (Negri) When using a 'comments' part where a space is required after the middle part, always insert a space when starting a new line. Helps for C comments, below a line with "/***". Replacing path of home directory with "~/" could be wrong for file names with embedded spaces or commas. A few fixes for the Sniff interface. (Leherbauer) When asking to hit 'y' or 'n' (e.g. for ":3,1d"), using the mouse caused trouble. Same for ":s/x/y/c" prompt. With 'nowrap' and 'list', a Tab halfway on the screen was displayed as blanks, instead of the characters specified with 'listchars'. Also for other characters that take more than one screen character. When setting 'guifont' to an unknown font name, the previous font was lost and a default font would be used. (Steed) DOS: Filenames in the root directory didn't get shortened properly. (Negri) DJGPP: making a full path name out of a file name didn't work properly when there is no _fullpath() function. (Negri) Win32 console: ":sh" caused a crash. (Negri) Win32 console: Setting 'lines' and/or 'columns' in the _vimrc failed miserably (could hang Windows 95). (Negri) Win32: The change-drive function was not correct, went to the wrong drive. (Tsindlekht) GUI: When editing a command line in Ex mode, Tabs were sometimes not backspaced properly, and unprintable characters were displayed directly. non-GUI can still be wrong, because a system function is called for this. ":set" didn't stop after an error. For example ":set no ai" gave an error for "no", but still set "ai". Now ":set" stops after the first error. When running configure for ctags, $LDFLAGS wasn't passed to it, causing trouble for IRIX. "@%" and "@#" when file name not set gave an error message. Now they just return an empty string. (Steed) CTRL-X and CTRL-A didn't work correctly with negative hex and octal numbers. (Steed) ":echo" always started with a blank. Updating GUI cursor shape didn't always work (e.g., when blinking is off). In silent Ex mode ("ex -s" or "ex <file") ":s///p" didn't print a line. Also a few other commands that explicitly print a text line didn't work. Made this Vi compatible. Win32 version of _chdrive() didn't return correct value. (Tsindlekht) When using 't' in 'complete' option, no longer give an error message for a missing tags file. Unix: tgoto() can return NULL, which was not handled correctly in configure. When doing ":help" from a buffer where 'binary' is set, also edited the help file in binary mode. Caused extra ^Ms for DOS systems. Cursor position in a file was reset to 1 when closing a window. ":!ls" in Ex mode switched off echo. When doing a double click in window A, while currently in window B, first click would reset double click time, had to click three times to select a word. When using <F11> in mappings, ":mkexrc" produced an exrc file that can't be used in Vi compatible mode. Added setting of 'cpo' to avoid this. Also, add a CTRL-V in front of a '<', to avoid a normal string to be interpreted as a special key name. Gave confusing error message for ":set guifont=--lucida-": first "font is not fixed width", then "Unknown font". Some options were still completely left out, instead of included as hidden options. While running the X11 GUI, ignore SIGHUP signals. Avoids a crash after executing an external command (in rare cases). In os_unixx.h, signal() was defined to sigset(), while it already was. Memory leak when executing autocommands (was reported as a memory leak in syntax highlighting). Didn't print source of error sometimes, because pointers were the same, although names were different. Avoid a number of UMR errors from Purify (third argument to open()). A swap file could still be created just after setting 'updatecount' to zero, when there is an empty buffer and doing ":e file". (Kutschera) Test 35 failed on 64 bit machines. (Schild) With "p" and "P" commands, redrawing was slow. Awk script for html documentation didn't work correctly with AIX awk. Replaced "[ ,.);\] ]" with "[] ,.); ]". (Briscoe) The makehtml.awk script had a small problem, causing extra lines to be inserted. (Briscoe) "gqgq" could not be repeated. Repeating for "gugu" and "gUgU" worked in a wrong way. Also made "gqq" work to be consistent with "guu". C indent was wrong after "case ':':". ":au BufReadPre .c put": Line from put text was deleted, because the buffer was still assumed to be empty. Text pasted with the Edit/Paste menu was subject to 'textwidth' and 'autoindent'. That was inconsistent with using the mouse to paste. Now "p is used. When using CTRL-W CTRL-] on a word that's not a tag, and then CTRL-] on a tag, window was split. ":ts" got stuck on a tags line that has two extra fields. In Insert mode, with 'showmode' on, <C-O><C-G> message was directly overwritten by mode message, if preceded with search command warning message. When putting the result of an expression with "=<expr>p, newlines were inserted like ^@ (NUL in the file). Now the string is split up in lines at the newline. putenv() was declared with "const char " in pty.c, but with "char " in osdef2.h.in. Made the last one also "const char ". ":help {word}", where +{word} is a feature, jumped to the feature list instead of where the command was explained. E.g., ":help browse", ":help autocmd". Using the "\<xx>" form in an expression only got one byte, even when using a special character that uses several bytes (e.g., "\<F9>"). Changed "\<BS>" to produce CTRL-H instead of the special key code for the backspace key. "\<Del>" produces 0x7f. ":mkvimrc" didn't write a command to set 'compatible' or 'nocompatible'. The shell syntax didn't contain a "syn sync maxlines" setting. In a long file without recognizable items, syncing took so long it looked like Vim hangs. Added a maxlines setting, and made syncing interruptible. The "gs" command didn't flush output before waiting. Memory leaks for: ":if 0 \| let a = b . c \| endif" "let a = b[c]" ":so {file}" where {file} contains a ":while" GUI: allocated fonts were never released. (Leonard) Makefile.bor: - Changed $(DEFINES) into a list of "-D" options, so that it can also be used for the resource compiler. (not tested!) - "bcc.cfg" was used for all configurations. When building for another configuration, the settings for the previous one would be used. Moved "bcc.cfg" to the object directory. (Geddes) - Included targets for vimrun, install, ctags and xxd. Changed the default to use the Borland DLL Runtime Library, makes Vim.exe a log smaller. (Aaron) "2" search for the word under the cursor with "2" prepended. (Leonard) When deleting into a specific register, would still overwrite the non-Win32 GUI selection. Now ""x"P works. When deleting into the "" register, would write to the last used register. Now ""x always writes to the unnamed register. GUI Athena: A submenu with a '.' in it didn't work. E.g., ":amenu Syntax.XY\.Z.foo lll". When first doing ":tag foo" and then ":tnext" and/or ":tselect" the order of matching tags could change, because the current file is different. Now the existing matches are kept in the same order, newly found matches are added after them, not matter what the current file is. ":ta" didn't find the second entry in a tags file, if the second entry was longer than the first one. When using ":set si tw=7" inserting "foo {^P}" made the "}" inserted at the wrong position. can_si was still TRUE when the cursor is not in the indent of the line. Running an external command in Win32 version had the problem that Vim exits when the X on the console is hit (and confirmed). Now use the "vimrun" command to start the external command indirectly. (Negri) Win32 GUI: When running an external filter, do it in a minimized DOS box. (Negri) ":let" listed variables without translation into printable characters. Win32 console: When resizing the window, switching back to the old size (when exiting or executing an external command) sometimes failed. (Negri) This appears to also fix a "non fixable" problem: Win32 console in NT 4.0: When running Vim in a cmd window with a scrollbar, the scrollbar disappeared and was not restored when Vim exits. This does work under NT 3.51, it appears not to be a Vim problem. When executing BufDelete and BufUnload autocommands for a buffer without a name, the name of the current buffer was used for <afile>. When jumping to a tag it reported "tag 1 of >2", while in fact there could be only two matches. Changed to "tag 1 of 2 or more". ":tjump tag" did a linear search in the tags file, which can be slow. Configure didn't find "LibXm.so.2.0", a Xm library with a version number. Win32 GUI: When using a shifted key with ALT, the shift modifier would remain set, even when it was already used by changing the used key. E.g., "<M-S-9>" resulted in "<M-S-(>", but it should be "<M-(>". (Negri) A call to ga_init() was often followed by setting growsize and itemsize. Created ga_init2() for this, which looks better. (Aaron) Function filereadable() could call fopen() with an empty string, which might be illegal. X Windows GUI: When executing an external command that outputs text, could write one character beyond the end of a buffer, which caused a crash. (Kohan) When using "" or "#" on a string that includes '/' or '?' (when these are included in 'isk'), they were not escaped. (Parmelan) When adding a ToolBar menu in the Motif GUI, the submenu_id field was not cleared, causing random problems. When adding a menu, the check if this menu (or submenu) name already exists didn't compare with the simplified version (no mnemonic or accelerator) of the new menu. Could get two menus with the same name, e.g., "File" and "&File". Breaking a line because of 'textwidth' at the last line in the window caused a redraw of the whole window instead of a scroll. Speeds up normal typing with 'textwidth' a lot for slow terminals. An invalid line number produced an "invalid range" error, even when it wasn't to be executed (inside "if 0"). When the unnamed, first buffer is re-used, the "BufDelete" autocommand was not called. It would stick in a buffer list menu. When doing "%" on the NUL after the line, a "{" or "}" in the last character of the line was not found. The Insert mode menu was not used for the "s" command, the Operator-pending menu was used instead. With 'compatible' set, some syntax highlighting was not correct, because of using "[\t]" for a search pattern. Now use the regexps for syntax highlighting like the 'cpoptions' option is empty (as was documented already). When using "map <M-Space> ms" or "map <Space> sss" the output of ":map" didn't show any lhs for the mapping (if 'isprint' includes 160). Now always use <Space> and <M-Space>, even when they are printable. Adjusted the Syntax menu, so that the lowest entry fits on a small screen (for Athena, where menus don't wrap). When using CTRL-E or CTRL-Y in Insert mode for characters like 'o', 'x' and digits, repeating the insert didn't work. The file "tools/ccfilter.README.txt" could not be unpacked when using short file names, because of the two dots. Renamed it to "tools/ccfilter_README.txt". For a dark 'background', using Blue for Directory and SpecialKey highlight groups is not very readable. Use Cyan instead. In the function uc_scan_attr() in ex_docmd.c there was a goto that jumped into a block with a local variable. That's illegal for some compilers. Win32 GUI: There was a row of pixels at the bottom of the window which was not drawn. (Aaron) Under DOS, editing "filename/" created a swap file of "filename/.swp". Should be "filename/_swp". Win32 GUI: pointer was hidden when executing an external command. When 'so' is 999, "J" near the end of the file didn't redisplay correctly. ":0a" inserted after the first line, instead of before the first line. Unix: Wildcard expansion didn't handle single quotes and {} patterns. Now ":file 'window.c'" removes the quotes and ":e 'main.c'" works (literal ''). ":file {o}{n}{e}" now results in file name "one". Memory leak when setting a string option back to its default value. ============================================================================== VERSION 5.3 version-5.3* Version 5.3 was a bug-fix version of 5.2. There are not many changes. Improvements made between version 5.2 and 5.3: Changed changed-5.3 ------- Renamed "IDE" menu to "Tools" menu. Added added-5.3 ----- Win32 GUI: Give a warning when Vim is activated, and one of the files changed since editing started. (Negri) Fixed fixed-5.3 ----- 5.2.1: Win32 GUI: space for external command was not properly allocated, could cause a crash. (Aaron) This was the reason to bring out 5.3 quickly after 5.2. 5.2.2: Some commands didn't complain when used without an argument, although they need one: ":badd", ":browse", ":call", ":confirm", ":behave", ":delfunction", ":delcommand" and ":tearoff". ":endfunction" outside of a function gave wrong error message: "Command not implemented". Should be ":endfunction not inside a function". 5.2.3: Win32 GUI: When gvim was installed in "Program files", or another path with a space in it, executing external commands with vimrun didn't work. 5.2.4: Pasting with the mouse in Insert mode left the cursor on the last pasted character, instead of behind it. 5.2.5: In Insert mode, cursor after the end of the line, a shift-cursor-left didn't include the last character in the selection. 5.2.6: When deleting text from Insert mode (with "<C-O>D" or the mouse), which includes the last character in the line, the cursor could be left on the last character in the line, instead of just after it. 5.2.7: Win32 GUI: scrollbar was one pixel too big. 5.2.8: Completion of "PopUp" menu showed the derivatives "PopUpc", "PopUPi", etc. ":menu" also showed these. 5.2.9: When using two input() functions on a row, the prompt would not be drawn in column 0. 5.2.10: A loop with input() could not be broken with CTRL-C. 5.2.11: ":call asdf" and ":call asdf(" didn't give an error message. 5.2.12: Recursively using ":normal" crashes Vim after a while. E.g.: ":map gq :normal gq<CR>" 5.2.13: Syntax highlighting used 'iskeyword' from wrong buffer. When using ":help", then "/\k" in another window with 'hlsearch' set. 5.2.14: When using ":source" from a function, global variables would not be available unless "g:" was used. 5.2.15: XPM files can have the extension ".pm", which is the same as for Perl modules. Added "syntax/pmfile.vim" to handle this. 5.2.16: On Win32 and Amiga, "echo expand("%:p:h")" removed one dirname in an empty buffer. mch_Fullname() didn't append a slash at the end of a directory name. Should include the character under the cursor in the Visual area when using 'selection' "exclusive". This wasn't done for "%", "e", "E", "t" and "f". ""p would always put register 0, instead of the unnamed (last used) register. Reverse the change that ""x doesn't write in the unnamed (last used) register. It would always write in register 0, which isn't very useful. Use "-x for the paste mappings in Visual mode. When there is one long line on the screen, and 'showcmd' is off, "0$" didn't redraw the screen. Win32 GUI: When using 'mousehide', the pointer would flicker when the cursor shape is changed. (Negri) When cancelling Visual mode, and the cursor moves to the start, the wanted column wasn't set, "k" or "j" moved to the wrong column. When using ":browse" or ":confirm", was checking for a comment and separating bar, which can break some commands. Included fixes for Macintosh. (Kielhorn) ============================================================================== VERSION 5.4 version-5.4* Version 5.4 adds new features, useful changes and a lot of bug fixes. Runtime directory introduced new-runtime-dir ---------------------------- The distributed runtime files are now in $VIMRUNTIME, the user files in $VIM. You normally don't set $VIMRUNTIME but let Vim find it, by using $VIM/vim{version}, or use $VIM when that doesn't exist. This allows for separating the user files from the distributed files and makes it more easy to upgrade to another version. It also makes it possible to keep two versions of Vim around, each with their own runtime files. In the Unix distribution the runtime files have been moved to the "runtime" directory. This makes it possible to copy all the runtime files at once, without the need to know what needs to be copied. The archives for DOS, Windows, Amiga and OS/2 now have an extra top-level "vim" directory. This is to make clear that user-modified files should be put here. The directory that contains the executables doesn't have '-' or '.' characters. This avoids strange extensions. The $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME variables are set when they are first used. This allows them to be used by Perl, for example. The runtime files are also found in a directory called "$VIM/runtime". This helps when running Vim after just unpacking the runtime archive. When using an executable in the "src" directory, Vim checks if "vim54" or "runtime" can be added after removing it. This make the runtime files be found just after compiling. A default for $VIMRUNTIME can be given in the Unix Makefile. This is useful if $VIM doesn't point to above the runtime directory but to e.g., "/etc/". Filetype introduced new-filetype-5.4 ------------------- Syntax files are now loaded with the new FileType autocommand. Old "mysyntaxfile" files will no longer work. \|filetypes\| The scripts for loading syntax highlighting have been changed to use the new Syntax autocommand event. This combination of Filetype and Syntax events allows tuning the syntax highlighting a bit more, also when selected from the Syntax menu. The FileType autocommand can also be used to set options and mappings specifically for that type of file. The "$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim" file is not loaded automatically. The ":filetype on" command has been added for this. ":syntax on" also loads it. The 'filetype' option has been added. It is used to trigger the FileType autocommand event, like the 'syntax' option does for the Syntax event. ":set syntax=OFF" and ":set syntax=ON" can be used (in a modeline) to switch syntax highlighting on/off for the current file. The Syntax menu commands have been moved to $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim. The Syntax menu is included both when ":filetype on" and when ":syntax manual" is used. Renamed the old 'filetype' option to 'osfiletype'. It was only used for RISCOS. 'filetype' is now used for the common file type. Added the ":syntax manual" command. Allows manual selection of the syntax to be used, e.g., from a modeline. Vim script line continuation new-line-continuation ---------------------------- When an Ex line starts with a backslash, it is concatenated to the previous line. This avoids the need for long lines. \|line-continuation\| (Roemer) Example: > if has("dialog_con") \|\| \ has("dialog_gui") :let result = confirm("Enter your choice", \ "&Yes\n&No\n&Maybe", \ 2) endif Improved session files improved-sessions ---------------------- New words for 'sessionoptions': - "help" Restore the help window. - "blank" Restore empty windows. - "winpos" Restore the Vim window position. Uses the new ":winpos" command - "buffers" Restore hidden and unloaded buffers. Without it only the buffers in windows are restored. - "slash" Replace backward by forward slashes in file names. - "globals" Store global variables. - "unix" Use unix file format (<NL> instead of <CR><NL>) The ":mksession" and 'sessionoptions' are now in the +mksession feature. The top line of the window is also restored when using a session file. ":mksession" and ":mkvimrc" don't store 'fileformat', it should be detected when loading a file. (Most of this was done by Vince Negri and Robert Webb) Autocommands improved improved-autocmds-5.4 --------------------- New events: \|FileType\| When the file type has been detected. \|FocusGained\| When Vim got input focus. (Negri) \|FocusLost\| When Vim lost input focus. (Negri) \|BufCreate\| Called just after a new buffer has been created or has been renamed. (Madsen) \|CursorHold\| Triggered when no key has been typed for 'updatetime'. Can be used to do something with the word under the cursor. (Negri) Implemented CursorHold autocommand event for Unix. (Zellner) Also for Amiga and MS-DOS. \|GUIEnter\| Can be used to do something with the GUI window after it has been created (e.g., a ":winpos 100 50"). \|BufHidden\| When a buffer becomes hidden. Used to delete the option-window when it becomes hidden. Also trigger \|BufDelete\| just before a buffer is going to be renamed. (Madsen) The "<amatch>" pattern can be used like "<afile>" for autocommands, except that it is the matching value for the FileType and Syntax events. When ":let @/ = <string>" is used in an autocommand, this last search pattern will be used after the autocommand finishes. Made loading autocommands a bit faster. Avoid doing strlen() on each exiting pattern for each new pattern by remembering the length. Encryption new-encryption ---------- Files can be encrypted when writing and decrypted when reading. Added the 'key' option, "-x" command line argument and ":X" command. \|encryption\| (based on patch from Mohsin Ahmed) When reading a file, there is an automatic detection whether it has been crypted. Vim will then prompt for the key. Note that the encryption method is not compatible with Vi. The encryption is not unbreakable. This allows it to be exported from the US. GTK GUI port new-GTK-GUI ------------ New GUI port for GTK+. Includes a toolbar, menu tearoffs, etc. \|gui-gtk\| Added the \|:helpfind\| command. (Kahn and Dalecki) Menu changes menu-changes-5.4 ------------ Menus can now also be used in the console. It is enabled by the new 'wildmenu' option. This shows matches for command-line completion like a menu. This works as a minimal file browser. The new \|:emenu\| command can be used to execute a menu item. Uses the last status line to list items, or inserts a line just above the command line. (Negri) The 'wildcharx' option can be used to trigger 'wildmenu' completion from a mapping. When compiled without menus, this can be detected with has("menu"). Also show this in the ":version" output. Allow compiling GUI versions without menu support. Only include toolbar support when there is menu support. Moved the "Window" menu all the way to the right (priority 70). Looks more familiar for people working with MS-Windows, shouldn't matter for others. Included "Buffers" menu. Works with existing autocommands and functions. It can be disabled by setting the "no_buffers_menu" variable. (Aaron and Madsen) Win32 supports separators in a menu: "-.-". (Geddes) Menu separators for Motif now work too. Made Popup menu for Motif GUI work. (Madsen) 'M' flag in 'guioptions': Don't source the system menu. All the menu code has been moved from gui.c to menu.c. Viminfo improved improved-viminfo* ---------------- New flags for 'viminfo': '!' Store global variables in the viminfo file if they are in uppercase letters. (Negri) 'h' Do ":nohlsearch" when loading a viminfo file. Store search patterns in the viminfo file with their offset, magic, etc. Also store the flag whether 'hlsearch' highlighting is on or off (which is not used if the 'h' flag is in 'viminfo'). Give an error message when setting 'viminfo' without commas. Various new commands new-commands-5.4 -------------------- Operator \|g?\|: rot13 encoding. (Negri) \|zH\| and \|zL\| commands: Horizontal scrolling by half a page. \|gm\| move cursor to middle of screen line. (Ideas by Campbell) Operations on Visual blocks: \|v_b_I\|, \|v_b_A\|, \|v_b_c\|, \|v_b_C\|, \|v_b_r\|, \|v_b_<\| and \|v_b_>\|. (Kelly) New command: CTRL-\ CTRL-N, which does nothing in Normal mode, and goes to Normal mode when in Insert or Command-line mode. Can be used by VisVim or other OLE programs to make sure Vim is in Normal mode, without causing a beep. \|CTRL-\_CTRL-N\| ":cscope kill" command to use the connection filename. \|:cscope\| (Kahn) \|:startinsert\| command: Start Insert mode next. \|:history\| command, to show all four types of histories. (Roemer) \|[m\|, \|[M\|, \|]m\| and \|]M\| commands, for jumping backward/forward to start/end of method in a (Java) class. ":@" executes the register. \|:@\| (Acevedo) \|go\| and \|:goto\| commands: Jump to byte offset in the file. \|gR\| and \|gr\| command: Virtual Replace mode. Replace characters without changing the layout. (Webb) ":cd -" changes to the directory from before the previous ":cd" command. \|:cd-\| (Webb) Tag preview commands \|:ptag\|. Shows the result of a ":tag" in a dedicated window. Can be used to see the context of the tag (e.g., function arguments). (Negri) \|:pclose\| command, and CTRL-W CTRL-Z: Close preview window. (Moore) 'previewheight' option, height for the preview window. Also \|:ppop\|, \|:ptnext\|, \|:ptprevious\|, \|:ptNext\|, \|:ptrewind\|, \|:ptlast\|. \|:find\| and \|:sfind\| commands: Find a file in 'path', (split window) and edit it. The \|:options\| command opens an option window that shows the current option values. Or use ":browse set" to open it. Options are grouped by function. Offers short help on each option. Hit <CR> to jump to more help. Edit the option value and hit <CR> on a "set" line to set a new value. Various new options new-options-5.4 ------------------- Scroll-binding: 'scrollbind' and 'scrollopt' options. Added \|:syncbind\| command. Makes windows scroll the same amount (horizontally and/or vertically). (Ralston) 'conskey' option for MS-DOS. Use direct console I/O. This should work with telnet (untested!). 'statusline' option: Configurable contents of the status line. Also allows showing the byte offset in the file. Highlighting with %1* to %9, using the new highlight groups User1 to User9. (Madsen) 'rulerformat' option: Configurable contents of the ruler, like 'statusline'. (Madsen) 'write' option: When off, writing files is not allowed. Avoids overwriting a file even with ":w!". The \|-m\| command line option resets 'write'. 'clipboard' option: How the clipboard is used. Value "unnamed": Use unnamed register like ". (Cortopassi) Value "autoselect": Like what 'a' in 'guioptions' does but works in the terminal. 'guifontset' option: Specify fonts for the +fontset feature, for the X11 GUI versions. Allows using normal fonts when vim is compiled with this feature. (Nam) 'guiheadroom' option: How much room to allow above/below the GUI window. Used for Motif, Athena and GTK. Implemented 'tagstack' option: When off, pushing tags onto the stack is disabled (Vi compatible). Useful for mappings. 'shellslash' option. Only for systems that use a backslash as a file separator. This option will use a forward slash in file names when expanding it. Useful when 'shell' is sh or csh. 'pastetoggle' option: Key sequence that toggles 'paste'. Works around the problem that mappings don't work in Insert mode when 'paste' is set. 'display' option: When set to "lastline", the last line fills the window, instead of being replaced with "@" lines. Only the last three characters are replaced with "@@@", to indicate that the line has not finished yet. 'switchbuf' option: Allows re-using existing windows on a buffer that is being jumped to, or split the window to open a new buffer. (Roemer) 'titleold' option. Replaces the fixed string "Thanks for flying Vim", which is used to set the title when exiting. (Schild) Vim scripts new-script-5.4 ----------- The \|exists()\| function can also check for existence of a function. (Roemer) An internal function is now found with a binary search, should be a bit faster. (Roemer) New functions: - \|getwinposx()\| and \|getwinposy()\|: get Vim window position. (Webb) - \|histnr()\|, \|histadd()\|, \|histget()\| and \|histdel()\|: Make history available. (Roemer) - \|maparg()\|: Returns rhs of a mapping. Based on a patch from Vikas. - \|mapcheck()\|: Check if a map name matches with an existing one. - \|visualmode()\|: Return type of last Visual mode. (Webb) - \|libcall()\|: Call a function in a library. Currently only for Win32. (Negri) - \|bufwinnr()\|: find window that contains the specified buffer. (Roemer) - \|bufloaded()\|: Whether a buffer exists and is loaded. - \|localtime()\| and \|getftime()\|: wall clock time and last modification time of a file (Webb) - \|glob()\|: expand file name wildcards only. - \|system()\|: get the raw output of an external command. (based on a patch from Aaron). - \|strtrans()\|: Translate String into printable characters. Used for 2html.vim script. - \|append()\|: easy way to append a line of text in a buffer. Changed functions: - Optional argument to \|strftime()\| to give the time in seconds. (Webb) - \|expand()\| now also returns names for files that don't exist. Allow numbers in the name of a user command. (Webb) Use "v:" for internal Vim variables: "v:errmsg", "v:shell_error", etc. The ones from version 5.3 can be used without "v:" too, for backwards compatibility. New variables: "v:warningmsg" and "v:statusmsg" internal variables. Contain the last given warning and status message. \|v:warningmsg\| \|v:statusmsg\| (Madsen) "v:count1" variable: like "v:count", but defaults to one when no count is used. \|v:count1\| When compiling without expression evaluation, "if 1" can be used around the not supported commands to avoid it being executed. Works like in Vim 4.x. Some of the runtime scripts gave errors when used with a Vim that was compiled with minimal features. Now "if 1" is used around code that is not always supported. When evaluating an expression with && and \|\|, skip the parts that will not influence the outcome. This makes it faster and avoids error messages. (Webb) Also optimized the skipping of expressions inside an "if 0". Avoid hit-enter prompt avoid-hit-enter ----------------------- Added 'T' flag to 'shortmess': Truncate all messages that would cause the hit-enter prompt (unless that would happen anyway). The 'O' flag in 'shortmess' now also applies to quickfix messages, e.g., from the ":cn" command. The default for 'shortmess' is now "filnxtToO", to make most messages fit on the command line, and not cause the hit-enter prompt. Previous messages can be viewed with the new \|:messages\| command. Some messages are shown fully, even when 'shortmess' tells to shorten messages, because the user is expected to want to see them in full: CTRL-G and some quickfix commands. Improved quickfix improved-quickfix ----------------- Parse change-directory lines for gmake: "make[1]: Entering directory 'name'". Uses "%D" and "%X" in 'errorformat'. Also parse "Making {target} in {dir}" messages from make. Helps when not using GNU make. (Schandl) Use 'isfname' for "%f" in 'errorformat'. Parsing of multi-line messages. \|errorformat-multi-line\| Allow a range for the \|:clist\| command. (Roemer) Support for "global" file names, for error formats that output the file name once for several errors. (Roemer) \|:cnfile\| jumps to first error in next file. "$" in 'makeprg' is replaced by arguments to ":make". (Roemer) Regular expressions regexp-changes-5.4* ------------------- In a regexp, a '$' before "\)" is also considered to be an end-of-line. \|/$\| In patterns "^" after "\\|" or "$" is a start-of-line. \|/^\| (Robinson) In a regexp, in front of "$" and "\\|" both "$" and "\$" were considered end-of-line. Now use "$" as end-of-line and "\$" for a literal dollar. Same for '^' after "$" and "\\|". \|/\$\| \|/\^\| Some search patterns can be extremely slow, even though they are not really illegal. For example: "\([^a-z]\+$\+Q". Allow interrupting any regexp search with CTRL-C. Register "/: last search string (read-only). (Kohan) Changed to use last used search pattern (like what 'hlsearch' uses). Can set the search pattern with ":let @/ = {expr}". Added character classes to search patterns, to avoid the need for removing the 'l' flag from 'cpoptions': \|[:tab:]\|, \|[:return:]\|, \|[:backspace:]\| and \|[:escape:]\|. By adding a '?' after a comparative operator in an expression, the comparison is done by ignoring case. \|expr-==?\| Other improvements made between version 5.3 and 5.4 --------------------------------------------------- Changed changed-5.4 ------- Unix: Use $TMPDIR for temporary files, if it is set and exists. Removed "Empty buffer" message. It isn't useful and can cause a hit-enter prompt. (Negri) "ex -" now reads commands from stdin and works in silent mode. This is to be compatible with the original "ex" command that is used for scripts. Default range for ":tcldo" is the whole file. Cancelling Visual mode with ESC moved the cursor. There appears to be no reason for this. Now leave the cursor where it is. The ":grep" and ":make" commands see " as part of the arguments, instead of the start of a comment. In expressions the "=~" and "!~" operators no longer are affected by 'ignorecase'. Renamed vimrc_example to vimrc_example.vim and gvimrc_example to gvimrc_example.vim. Makes them being recognized as vim scripts. "gd" no longer starts searching at the end of the previous function, but at the first blank line above the start of the current function. Avoids that using "gd" in the first function finds global a variable. Default for 'complete' changed from ".,b" to ".,w,b,u,t,i". Many more matches will be found, at the cost of time (the search can be interrupted). It is no longer possible to set 'shell' options from a modeline. Previously only a warning message was given. This reduces security risks. The ordering of the index of documentation files was changed to make it more easy to find a subject. On MS-DOS and win32, when $VIM was not set, $HOME was used. This caused trouble if $HOME was set to e.g., "C:\" for some other tool, the runtime files would not be found. Now use $HOME only for _vimrc, _gvimrc, etc., not to find the runtime file. When 'tags' is "./{fname}" and there is no file name for the current buffer, just use it. Previously it was skipped, causing "vim -t {tag}" not to find many tags. When trying to select text in the 'scrolloff' area by mouse dragging, the resulting scrolling made this difficult. Now 'scrolloff' is temporarily set to 0 or 1 to avoid this. But still allow scrolling in the top line to extend to above the displayed text. Default for 'comments' now includes "sl:/,mb: ,ex:/", to make javadoc comments work. Also helps for C comments that start with "/******". CTRL-X CTRL-] Insert mode tag expansion tried to expand to all tags when used after a non-ID character, which can take a very long time. Now limit this to 200 matches. Also used for command-line tag completion. The OS/2 distribution has been split in two files. It was too big to fit on a floppy. The same runtime archive as for the PC is now used. In the documentation, items like <a-z> have been replaced with {a-z} for non-optional arguments. This avoids confusion with key names: <C-Z> is a CTRL-Z, not a character between C and Z, that is {C-Z}. Added added-5.4* ----- Color support for the iris-ansi builtin termcap entry. (Tubman) Included VisVim version 1.3a. (Erhardt) Win32 port for SNiFF+ interface. (Leherbauer) Documentation file for sniff interface: if_sniff.txt. (Leherbauer) Included the "SendToVim" and "OpenWithVim" programs in the OleVim directory. To be used with the OLE version of gvim under MS-Windows. (Schaller) Included Exuberant Ctags version 3.2.4 with Eiffel support. (Hiebert) When a file that is being edited is deleted, give a warning (like when the time stamp changed). Included newer versions of the HTML-generating Awk and Perl scripts. (Colombo) Linux console mouse support through "gpm". (Tsindlekht) Security fix: Disallow changing 'secure' and 'exrc' from a modeline. When 'secure' is set, give a warning for changing options that contain a program name. Made the Perl interface work with Perl 5.005 and threads. (Verdoolaege) When giving an error message for an ambiguous mapping, include the offending mapping. (Roemer) Command line editing: - Command line completion of mappings. (Roemer) - Command line completion for ":function", ":delfunction", ":let", ":call", ":if", etc. (Roemer) - When using CTRL-D completion for user commands that have "-complete=tag_listfiles" also list the file names. (Madsen) - Complete the arguments of the ":command" command. (Webb) - CTRL-R . in command line inserts last inserted text. CTRL-F, CTRL-P, CTRL-W and CTRL-A after CTRL-R are used to insert an object from under the cursor. (Madsen) Made the text in uganda.txt about copying Vim a bit more clear. Updated the Vim tutor. Added the "vimtutor" command, which copies the tutor and starts Vim on it. "make install" now also copies the tutor. In the output of ":clist" the current entry is highlighted, with the 'i' highlighting (same as used for 'incsearch'). For the ":clist" command, you can scroll backwards with "b" (one screenful), "u" (half a screenful) and "k" (one line). Multi-byte support: - X-input method for multibyte characters. And various fixes for multibyte support. (Nam) - Hangul input method feature: \|hangul\|. (Nam) - Cleaned up configuration of multibyte support, XIM, fontset and Hangul input. Each is now configurable separately. - Changed check for GTK_KEYBOARD to HANGUL_KEYBOARD_TYPE. (Nam) - Added doc/hangulin.txt: Documentation for the Hangul input code. (Nam) - XIM support for GTK+. (Nam) - First attempt to include support for SJIS encoding. (Nagano) - When a double-byte character doesn't fit at the end of the line, put a "~" there and print it on the next line. - Optimize output of multibyte text. (Park) - Win32 IME: preedit style is like over-the-spot. (Nagano) - Win32 IME: IME mode change now done with ImmSetOpenStatus. (Nagano) - GUI Athena: file selection dialog can display multibyte characters. (Nagano) - Selection reply for XA_TEXT as XA_STRING. (Nagano) "runtime/macros/diffwin.vim". Mappings to make a diff window. (Campbell) Added ".obj" to the 'suffixes' option. Reduced size of syntax/synload.vim by using the ":SynAu" user command. Automated numbering of Syntax menu entries in menu.vim. In the Syntax menu, insert separators between syntax names that start with a different letter. (Geddes) Xterm: - Clipboard support when using the mouse in an xterm. (Madsen) - When using the xterm mouse, track dragging of the mouse. Use xterm escape sequences when possible. It is more precise than other methods, but requires a fairly recent xterm version. It is enabled with "xterm2" in 'ttymouse'. (Madsen) - Check xterm patch level, to set the value of 'ttymouse'. Has only been added to xterm recently (patch level > 95). Uses the new 't_RV' termcap option. Set 'ttymouse' to "xterm2" when a correct response is recognized. Will make xterm mouse dragging work better. - Support for shifted function keys on xterm. Changed codes for shifted cursor keys to what the xterm actually produces. Added codes for shifted <End> and <Home>. - Added 't_WP' to set the window position in pixels and 't_WS' to set the window size in characters. Xterm can now move (used for ":winpos") and resize (use for ":set lines=" and ":set columns="). X11: - When in Visual mode but not owning the selection, display the Visual area with the VisualNOS group to show this. (Madsen) - Support for requesting the type of clipboard support. Used for AIX and dtterm. (Wittig) - Support compound_text selection (even when compiled without multibyte). Swap file: - New variation for naming swap files: Replace path separators into %, place all swap files in one directory. Used when a name in 'dir' ends in two path separators. (Madsen) - When a swap file is found, show whether it contains modifications or not in the informative message. (Madsen) - When dialogs are supported, use a dialog to ask the user what to do when a swapfile already exists. "popup_setpos" in 'mousemodel' option. Allows for moving the cursor when using the right mouse button. When a buffer is deleted, the selection for which buffer to display instead now uses the most recent entry from the jump list. (Madsen) When using CTRL-O/CTRL-I, skip deleted buffers. A percentage is shown in the ruler, when there is room. Used autoconf 1.13 to generate configure. Included get_lisp_indent() from Dirk van Deun. Does better Lisp indenting when 'p' flag in 'cpoptions' is not included. Made the 2html.vim script quite a bit faster. (based on ideas from Geddes) Unix: - Included the name of the user that compiled Vim and the system name it was compiled on in the version message. - "make install" now also installs the "tools" directory. Makes them available for everybody. - "make check" now does the same as "make test". "make test" checks for Visual block mode shift, insert, replace and change. - Speed up comparing a file name with existing buffers by storing the device/inode number with the buffer. - Added configure arguments "--disable-gtk", "--disable-motif" and "--disable-athena", to be able to disable a specific GUI (when it doesn't work). - Renamed the configure arguments for disabling the check for specific GUIs. Should be clearer now. (Kahn) - On a Digital Unix system ("OSF1") check for the curses library before termlib and termcap. (Schild) - "make uninstall_runtime" will only delete the version-specific files. Can be used to delete the runtime files of a previous version. Macintosh: (St-Amant) - Dragging the scrollbar, like it's done for the Win32 GUI. Moved common code from gui_w32.c to gui.c - Added dialogs and file browsing. - Resource fork preserved, warning when it will be lost. - Copy original file attributes to newly written file. - Set title/notitle bug solved. - Filename completion improved. - Grow box limit resize to a char by char size. - Use of rgb.txt for more colors (but give back bad color). - Apple menu works (beside the about...). - Internal border now vim compliant. - Removing a menu doesn't crash anymore. - Weak-linking of Python 1.5.1 (only on PPC). Python is supported when the library is available. - If an error is encountered when sourcing the users .vimrc, the alert box now shows right away with the OK button defaulted. There's no more "Delete"-key sign at the start of each line - Better management of environment variables. Now $VIM is calculated only once, not regenerated every time it is used. - No more CPU hog when in background. - In a sourced Vim script the Mac file format can be recognized, just like DOS file format is. When both "unix" and "mac" are present in 'fileformats', prefer "mac" format when there are more CR than NL characters. When using "mac" fileformat, use CR instead of a NL, because NL is used for NUL. Will preserve all characters in a file. (Madsen) The DOS install.exe now contains checks for an existing installation. It avoids setting $VIM and $PATH again. The install program for Dos/Windows can now install Vim in the popup menu, by adding two registry keys. Port to EGCS/mingw32. New Makefile.ming. (Aaron) DOS 16 bit: Don't include cursor shape stuff. Save some bytes. TCL support to Makefile.w32. (Duperval) OS/2: Use argv[0] to find runtime files. When using "gf" to go to a buffer that has already been used, jump to the line where the cursor last was. Colored the output of ":tselect" a bit more. Different highlighting between tag name and file name. Highlight field name ("struct:") separately from argument. Backtick expansion for non-Unix systems. Based on a patch from Aaron. Allows the use of things like ":n `grep -l test .c`" and "echo expand('`ls m`')". Check for the 'complete' option when it is set. (Acevedo) 'd' flag in 'complete' searches for defined names or macros. While searching for Insert mode completions in include files and tags files, check for typeahead, so that you can use matches early. (Webb) The '.' flag in 'complete' now scans the current buffer completely, ignoring 'nowrapscan'. (Webb) Added '~' flag to 'whichwrap'. (Acevedo) When ending the Visual mode (e.g., with ESC) don't grab ownership of the selection. In a color terminal, "fg" and "bg" can be used as color names. They stand for the "Normal" colors. A few cscope cleanups. (Kahn) Included changed vimspell.sh from Schemenauer. Concatenation of strings in an expression with "." is a bit faster. (Roemer) The ":redir" command can now redirect to a register: ":redir @r". (Roemer) Made the output of ":marks" and ":jumps" look similar. When the mark is in the current file, show the text at the mark. Also for ":tags". When configure finds ftello() and fseeko(), they are used in tag.c (for when you have extremely big tags files). Configure check for "-FOlimit,2000" argument for the compiler. (Borsenkow) GUI: - When using ":gui" in a non-GUI Vim, give a clear error message. - "gvim -v" doesn't start the GUI (if console support is present). - When in Ex mode, use non-Visual selection for the whole screen. - When starting with "gvim -f" and using ":gui" in the .gvimrc file, Vim forked anyway. Now the "-f" flag is remembered for ":gui". Added "gui -b" to run gvim in the background anyway. Motif GUI: - Check for "-lXp" library in configure (but it doesn't work yet...). - Let configure check for Lesstif in "/usr/local/Lesstif/Motif". Changed the order to let a local Motif version override a system standard version. Win32 GUI: - When using "-register" or "-unregister" in the non-OLE version, give an error message. - Use GTK toolbar icons. Make window border look better. Use sizing handles on the lower left&right corners of the window. (Negri) - When starting an external command with ":!start" and the command can not be executed, give an error message. (Webb) - Use sizing handles for the grey rectangles below the scrollbars. Can draw toolbar in flat mode now, looks better. (Negri) - Preparations for MS-Windows 3.1 addition. Mostly changing WIN32 to MSWIN and USE_GUI_WIN32 to USE_GUI_MSWIN. (Negri) Avoid allocating the same string four times in buflist_findpat(). (Williams) Set title and icon text with termcap options 't_ts', 't_fs', 't_IS' and 't_IE'. Allows doing this on any terminal that supports setting the title and/or icon text. (Schild) New 'x' flag in 'comments': Automatically insert the end part when its last character is typed. Helps to close a / / comment in C. (Webb) When expand() has a second argument which is non-zero, don't use 'suffixes' and 'wildignore', return all matches. 'O' flag in 'cpoptions' When not included, Vim will not overwrite a file, if it didn't exist when editing started but it does exist when the buffer is written to the file. The file must have been created outside of Vim, possibly without the user knowing it. When this is detected after a shell command, give a warning message. When editing a new file, CTRL-G will show [New file]. When there were errors while reading the file, CTRL-G will show [Read errors]. ":wall" can now use a dialog and file-browsing when needed. Grouped functionality into new features, mainly to reduce the size of the minimal version: +linebreak: 'showbreak', 'breakat' and 'linebreak' +visualextra: "I"nsert and "A"ppend in Visual block mode, "c"hange all lines in a block, ">" and "<": Shifting a block, "r": Replacing a Visual area with one character. +comments: 'comments' +cmdline_info: 'ruler' and 'showcmd'. Replaces +showcmd. "+title" Don't add code to set title or icon for MSDOS, this was not possible anyway. +cmdline_compl Disable commandline completion at compile time, except for files, directories and help items. Moved features from a list of function calls into an array. Should save a bit of space. While entering the body of a function, adjust indent according to "if" and "while" commands. VMS: Adjusted os_vms.mms a bit according to suggestions from Arpadffy. The flags in the 'comments' option can now include an offset. This makes it possible to align "/***", "/ xxx" and "/" comments with the same 'comments' setting. The default value for 'comments' uses this. Added 'O' flag: Don't use this part for the "O" command. Useful for "set com=sO:\ -,mO:\ \ ,exO:/" FileType autocommands recognize ".bak", ".orig" and "~" extensions and remove them to find the relevant extension. The tutorial for writing a Vim script file has been extended. Some more highlighting in help files, for items that are not typed literally. Can use "CTRL-W CTRL-G" like "CTRL-W g". "make test" for OS/2. Adjusted configure to automatically use the GUI for BeOS. Fixed fixed-5.4 ----- 5.3.1: When using an autocommand for BufWritePre that changes the name of the buffer, freed memory would be used. (Geddes) Mac: Compiler didn't understand start of skip_class_name(). Win32 GUI: - When cancelling the font requester, don't give an error message. - When a tearoff-menu is open and its menu is deleted, Vim could crash. (Negri) - There was a problem on Windows 95 with (un)maximizing the window. (Williams) - when 'mousehide' is set, the mouse would stay hidden when a menu is dropped with the keyboard. (Ralston) - The tempname() function already created the file. Caused problems when using ":w". Now the file is deleted. - Cursor disappeared when ending up in the top-left character on the screen after scrolling. (Webb) - When adding a submenu for a torn-off menu, it was not updated. - Menu tooltip was using the toolbar tooltip. (Negri) - Setting 'notitle' didn't remove the title. (Steed) - Using ":!start cmd" scrolled the screen one line up, and didn't wait for return when the command wasn't found. Cscope interface: Sorting of matches was wrong. Starting the interface could fail. (Kahn) Motif GUI: Could not compile with Motif 1.1, because some tear-off functionality was not in #ifdefs. Configure could sometimes not compile or link the test program for sizeof(int) properly. This caused alignment problems for the undo structure allocations. Added a safety check that SIZEOF_INT is not zero. Added configure check to test if strings.h can be included after string.h. Some systems can't handle it. Some systems need both string.h and strings.h included. Adjusted vim.h for that. Removed including string.h from os_unixx.h, since it's already in vim.h. (Savage) AIX: defining _NO_PROTO in os_unix.h causes a conflict between string.h and strings.h, but after the configure check said it was OK. Also define _NO_PROTO for AIX in the configure check. (Winn) When closing a window with CTRL-W c, the value of 'hidden' was not taken into account, the buffer was always unloaded. (Negri) Unix Makefile: "make install" always tried to rename an older executable and remove it. This caused an error message when it didn't exit. Added a check for the existence of an old executable. The command line for "make install" could get too long, because of the many syntax files. Now first do a "cd" to reduce the length. On RISCOS and MSDOS, reading a file could fail, because the short filename was used, which can be wrong after a ":!cd". In the DOS versions, the wrong install.exe was included (required Windows). Now the install.exe version is included that is the same as the Vim version. This also supports long file names where possible. When recording, and stopping while in Insert mode with CTRL-O q, the CTRL-O would also be recorded. 32bit DOS version: "vim \file", while in a subdirectory, resulted in "new file" for "file" in the local directory, while "\file" did exist. When "file" in the current directory existed, this didn't happen. MSDOS: Mouse could not go beyond 80 columns in 132 columns mode. (Young) "make test" failed in the RedHat RPM, because compatible is off by default. In Insert mode <C-O><C-W><C-W> changes to other window, but the status bars were not updated until another character was typed. MSDOS: environment options in lowercase didn't work, although they did in the Win32 versions. (Negri) After ":nohlsearch", a tag command switched highlighting back on. When using "append" command as the last line in an autocommand, Vim would crash. RISCOS: The scroll bumpers (?) were not working properly. (Leonard) "zl" and "zh" could move the cursor, but this didn't set the column in which e.g., "k" would move the cursor. When doing ":set all&" the value of 'scroll' was not set correctly. This caused an error message when later setting any other number option. When 'hlsearch' highlighting has been disabled with ":nohlsearch", incremental searching would switch it back on too early. When listing tags for ":tselect", and using a non-search command, and the last character was equal to the first (e.g., "99"), the last char would not be shown. When searching for tags with ":tag" Vim would assume that all matches had been found when there were still more (e.g. from another tags file). Win32: Didn't recognize "c:\" (e.g., in tags file) as absolute path when upper/lowercase was different. Some xterms (Debian) send <Esc>OH for HOME and <Esc>OF for END. Added these to the builtin-xterm. In ex mode, any CR was seen as the end of the line. Only a NL should be handled that way. broke ":s/foo/some^Mtext/". In menu.vim, a vmenu was used to override an amenu. That didn't work, because the system menu file doesn't overwrite existing menus. Added explicit vunmenu to solve this. Configure check for terminal library could find a library that doesn't work at runtime (Solaris: shared library not found). Added a check that a program with tgoto() can run correctly. Unix: "echo -n" in the Makefile doesn't work on all systems, causing errors compiling pathdef.c. Replaced it with "tr". Perl: DO_JOIN was redefined by Perl. Undefined it in the perl files. Various XIM and multibyte fixes: - Fix user cannot see his language while he is typing his language with off-the-spot method. (Nagano) - Fix preedit position using text/edit area (using gui.wid). (Nagano) - remove 'fix dead key' codes. It was needed since XNFocusWindow was "x11_window", XNFocusWindow is now gui.wid. (Nagano) - Remove some compile warnings and fix typos. (Namsh) - For status area, check the gtk+ version while Vim runs. I believe it is better than compile time check. (Namsh) - Remove one FIXME for gtk+-xim. (Namsh) - XIM: Dead keys didn't work for Czech. (Vyskovsky) - Multibyte: If user input only 3byte such as mb1_mb2_eng or eng_mb1_mb2 VIM could convert it to special character. (Nam) - Athena/Motif with XIM: fix preedit area. (Nam) - XIM: Composed strings were sometimes ignored. Vim crashed when compose string was longer than 256 bytes. IM's geometry control is fixed. (Nam, Nagano) - Win32 multibyte: hollowed cursor width on a double byte char was wrong. (Nagano) - When there is no GUI, selecting XIM caused compilation problems. Automatically disable XIM when there is no GUI in configure. - Motif and Athena: When compiled with XIM, but the input method was not enabled, there would still be a status line. Now the status line is gone if the input method doesn't work. (Nam) Win32: tooltip was not removed when selecting a parent menu (it was when selecting a menu entry). (Negri) Unix with X: Some systems crash on exit, because of the XtCloseDisplay() call. Removed it, it should not be necessary when exiting. Win32: Crash on keypress when compiled with Borland C++. (Aaron) When checking for Motif library files, prefer the same location as the include files (with "include" replaced with "lib") above another entry. Athena GUI: Changed "XtOffset()" in gui_at_fs.c to "XtOffsetOf()", like it's used in gui_x11.c. Win32: When testing for a timestamp of a file on floppy, would get a dialog box when the floppy has been removed. Now return with an error. (Negri) Win32 OLE: When forced to come to the foreground, a minimized window was still minimized, now it's restored. (Zivkov) There was no check for a positive 'shiftwidth'. A negative value could cause a hangup, a zero value a crash. Athena GUI: horizontal scrollbar wasn't updated correctly when clicking right or left of the thumb. When making a Visual-block selection in one window, and trying to scroll another, could cause errors for accessing non-existent line numbers. When 'matchpairs' contains "`:'", jumping from the ` to the ' didn't work properly. Changed '\"' to '"' to make it compatible with old C compilers. The command line expansion for mappings caused a script with a TAB between lhs and rhs of a map command to fail. Assume the TAB is to separate lhs and rhs when there are no mappings to expand. When editing a file with very long lines with 'scrolloff' set, "j" would sometimes end up in a line which wasn't displayed. When editing a read-only file, it was completely read into memory, even when it would not fit. Now create a swap file for a read-only file when running out of memory while reading the file. When using ":set cino={s,e-s", a line after "} else {" was not indented properly. Also added a check for this in test3.in. The Hebrew mapping for the command line was remembered for the next command line. That isn't very useful, a command is not Hebrew. (Kol) When completing file names with embedded spaces, like "Program\ files", this didn't work. Also for user commands. Moved backslash_halve() down to mch_expandpath(). When using "set mouse=a" in Ex mode, mouse events were handled like typed text. Then typing "quit" screwed up the mouse behavior of the xterm. When repeating an insert with "." that contains a CTRL-Y, a number 5 was inserted as "053". Yanking a Visual area, with the cursor past the line, didn't move the cursor back onto the line. Same for "~", "u", "U" and "g?" Win32: Default for 'grepprg' could be "findstr /n" even though there is no findstr.exe (Windows 95). Check if it exists, and fall back to "grep -n" if it doesn't. Because gui_mouse_moved() inserted a leftmouse click in the input buffer, remapping a leftmouse click caused strange effects. Now Insert another code in the input buffer. Also insert a leftmouse release, to avoid the problem with ":map <LeftMouse> l" that the next release is seen as the release for the focus click. With 'wrap' on, when using a line that doesn't fit on the screen, if the start of the Visual area is before the start of the screen, there was no highlighting. Also, 'showbreak' doesn't work properly. DOS, Win32: A pattern "[0-9]\+" didn't work in autocommands. When creating a swap file for a buffer which isn't the current buffer, could get a mixup of short file name, resulting in a long file name when a short file name was required. makeswapname() was calling modname() instead of buf_modname(). When a function caused an error, and the error message was very long because of recursiveness, this would cause a crash. 'suffixes' were always compared with matching case. For MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2 case is now ignored. The use of CHARBITS in regexp.c didn't work on some Linux. Don't use it. When generating a script file, 'cpo' was made empty. This caused backslashes to disappear from mappings. Set it to "B" to avoid that. Lots of typos in the documentation. (Campbell) When editing an existing (hidden) buffer, jump to the last used cursor position. (Madsen) On a Sun the xterm screen was not restored properly when suspending. (Madsen) When $VIMINIT is processed, 'nocompatible' was only set after processing it. Unix: Polling for a character wasn't done for GPM, Sniff and Xterm clipboard all together. Cleaned up the code for using select() too. When executing external commands from the GUI, some typeahead was lost. Added some code to regain as much typeahead as possible. When the window height is 5 lines or fewer, <PageDown> didn't use a one-line overlap, while <PageUp> does. Made sure that <PageUp> uses the same overlap as <PageDown>, so that using them both always displays the same lines. Removed a few unused functions and variables (found with lint). Dictionary completion didn't use 'infercase'. (Raul) Configure tests failed when the Perl library was not in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Don't use the Perl library for configure tests, add it to the linker line only when linking Vim. When using ncurses/terminfo, could get a 't_Sf' and 't_Sb' termcap entry that has "%d" instead of "%p1%d". The light background colors didn't work then. GTK GUI with ncurses: Crashed when starting up in tputs(). Don't use tputs() when the GUI is active. Could use the ":let" command to set the "count", "shell_error" and "version" variables, but that didn't work. Give an error message when trying to set them. On FreeBSD 3.0, tclsh is called tclsh8.0. Adjusted configure.in to find it. When Vim is linked with -lncurses, but python uses -ltermcap, this causes trouble: "OOPS". Configure now removes the -ltermcap. :@" and :" didn't work properly, because the " was recognized as the start of a comment. Win32s GUI: Minimizing the console where a filter command runs in caused trouble for detecting that the filter command has finished. (Negri) After executing a filter command from an xterm, the mouse would be disabled. It would work again after changing the mode. Mac GUI: Crashed in newenv(). (St-Amant) The menus and mappings in mswin.vim didn't handle text ending in a NL correctly. (Acevedo) The ":k" command didn't check if it had a valid argument or extra characters. Now give a meaningful error message. (Webb) On SGI, the signal function doesn't always have three arguments. Check for struct sigcontext to find out. Might still be wrong... Could crash when using 'hlsearch' and search pattern is "^". When search patterns were saved and restored, status of no_hlsearch was not also saved and restored (from ":nohlsearch" command). When using setline() to make a line shorter, the cursor position was not adjusted. MS-DOS and Win95: When trying to edit a file and accidentally adding a slash or backslash at the end, the file was deleted. Probably when trying to create the swap file. Explicitly check for a trailing slash or backslash before trying to read a file. X11 GUI: When starting the GUI failed and received a deadly signal while setting the title, would lock up when trying to exit, because the title is reset again. Avoid using mch_settitle() recursively. X11 GUI: When starting the GUI fails, and then trying it again, would crash, because argv[] has been freed and x11_display was reset to NULL. Win32: When $HOME was set, would put "~user" in the swap file, which would never compare with a file name, and never cause the attention message. Put the full path in the swap file instead. Win32 console: There were funny characters at the end of the "vim -r" swap files message (direct output of CR CR LF). DOS 32 bit: "vim -r" put the text at the top of the window. GUI: With 'mousefocus' set, got mouse codes as text with "!sleep 100" or "Q". Motif and Win32 GUI: When changing 'guifont' to a font of the same size the screen wasn't redrawn. Unix: When using ":make", jumping to a file b.c, which is already open as a symbolic link a.c, opened a new buffer instead of using the existing one. Inserting text in the current buffer while sourcing the .vimrc file would cause a crash or hang. The memfile for the current buffer was never allocated. Now it's allocated as soon as something is written in the buffer. DOS 32 bit: "lightblue" background worked for text, but not drawn parts were black. DOS: Colors of console were not restored upon exiting. When recording, with 'cmdheight' set to 2 and typing Esc> in Insert mode caused the "recording" message to be doubled. Spurious "file changed" messages could happen on Windows. Now tolerate a one second difference, like for Linux. GUI: When returning from Ex mode, scrollbars were not updated. Win32: Copying text to the clipboard containing a <CR>, pasting it would replace it with a <NL> and drop the next character. Entering a double byte character didn't work if the second byte is in [xXoO]. (Eric Lee) vim_realloc was both defined and had a prototype in proto/misc2.pro. Caused conflicts on Solaris. A pattern in an autocommand was treated differently on DOS et al. than on Unix. Now it's the same, also when using backslashes. When using <Tab> twice for command line completion, without a match, the <Tab> would be inserted. (Negri) Bug in MS-Visual C++ 6.0 when compiling ex_docmd.c with optimization. (Negri) Testing the result of mktemp() for failure was wrong. Could cause a crash. (Peters) GUI: When checking for a ".gvimrc" file in the current directory, didn't check for a "_gvimrc" file too. Motif GUI: When using the popup menu and then adding an item to the menu bar, the menu bar would get very high. Mouse clicks and special keys (e.g. cursor keys) quit the more prompt and dialogs. Now they are ignored. When at the more-prompt, xterm selection didn't work. Now use the 'r' flag in 'mouse' also for the more-prompt. When selecting a Visual area of more than 1023 lines, with 'guioptions' set to "a", could mess up the display because of a message in free_yank(). Removed that message, except for the Amiga. Moved auto-selection from ui_write() to the screen update functions. Avoids unexpected behavior from a low-level function. Also makes the different feedback of owning the selection possible. Vi incompatibility: Using "i<CR>" in an indent, with 'ai' set, used the original indent instead of truncating it at the cursor. (Webb) ":echo x" didn't stop at "q" for the more prompt. Various fixes for Macintosh. (St-Amant) When using 'selectmode' set to "exclusive", selecting a word and then using CTRL-] included the character under the cursor. Using ":let a:name" in a function caused a crash. (Webb) When using ":append", an empty line didn't scroll up. DOS etc.: A file name starting with '!' didn't work. Added '!' to default for 'isfname'. BeOS: Compilation problem with prototype of skip_class_name(). (Price) When deleting more than one line, e.g., with "de", could still use "U" command, which didn't work properly then. Amiga: Could not compile ex_docmd.c, it was getting too big. Moved some functions to ex_cmds.c. The expand() function would add a trailing slash for directories. Didn't give an error message when trying to assign a value to an argument of a function. (Webb) Moved including sys/ptem.h to after termios.h. Needed for Sinix. OLE interface: Don't delete the object in CVimCF::Release() when the reference count becomes zero. (Cordell) VisVim could still crash on exit. (Erhardt) "case a: case b:" (two case statements in one line) aligned with the second case. Now it uses one 'sw' for indent. (Webb) Font initialisation wasn't right for Athena/Motif GUI. Moved the call to highlight_gui_started() gui_mch_init() to gui_mch_open(). (Nam) In Replace mode, backspacing over a TAB before where the replace mode started while 'sts' is different from 'ts', would delete the TAB. Win32 console: When executing external commands and switching between the two console screens, Vim would copy the text between the buffers. That caused the screen to be messed up for backtick expansion. ":winpos -1" then ":winpos" gave wrong error message. Windows commander creates files called c:\tmp\$wc\abc.txt. Don't remove the backslash before the $. Environment variables were not expanded anyway, because of the backslash before the dollar. Using "-=" with ":set" could remove half a part when it contains a "\,". E.g., ":set path+=a\\,b" and then "set path-=b" removed ",b". When Visually selecting lines, with 'selection' set to "inclusive", including the last char of the line, "<<" moved an extra line. Also for other operators that always work on lines. link.sh changed "-lnsl_s" to "_s" when looking for "nsl" to be removed. Now it only remove whole words. When jumped to a mark or using "fz", and there is an error, the current column was lost. E.g. when using "$fzj". The "g CTRL-G" command could not be interrupted, even though it can take a long time. Some terminals do have <F4> and <xF4>. <xF4> was always interpreted as <F4>. Now map <xF4> to <F4>, so that the user can override this. When compiling os_win32.c with MIN_FEAT the apply_autocmds() should not be used. (Aaron) This autocommand looped forever: ":au FileChangedShell ++nested e <afile>" Now FileChangeShell never nests. (Roemer) When evaluating an ":elseif" that was not going to matter anyway, ignore errors. (Roemer) GUI Lesstif: Tearoff bar was the last item, instead of the first. GUI Motif: Colors of tear-off widgets was wrong when 't' flag added to 'guioptions' afterwards. When 't' flag in 'guioptions' is excluded, would still get a tearoff item in a new menu. An inode number can be "long long". Use ino_t instead of long. Added configure check for ino_t. Binary search for tags was using a file offset "long" instead of "off_t". Insert mode completion of tags was not using 'ignorecase' properly. In Insert mode, the <xFn> keys were not properly mapped to <Fn> for the default mappings. Also caused errors for ":mkvimrc" and ":mksession". When jumping to another window while in Insert mode, would get the "warning: changing readonly file" even when not making a change. A '(' or '{' inside a trailing "//" comment would disturb C-indenting. When using two labels below each other, the second one was not indented properly. Comments could mess up C-indenting in many places. (Roemer) Could delete or redefine a function while it was being used. Could cause a crash. In a function it's logical to prepend "g:" to a system variable, but this didn't work. (Roemer) Hangul input: Buffer would overflow when user inputs invalid key sequence. (Nam) When BufLoad or BufEnter autocommands change the topline of the buffer in the window, it was overruled and the cursor put halfway the window. Now only put the cursor halfway if the autocommands didn't change the topline. Calling exists("&option") always returned 1. (Roemer) Win32: Didn't take actually available memory into account. (Williams) White space after an automatically inserted comment leader was not removed when 'ai' is not set and <CR> hit just after inserting it. (Webb) A few menus had duplicated accelerators. (Roemer) Spelling errors in documentation, quite a few "the the". (Roemer) Missing prototypes for Macintosh. (Kielhorn) Win32: When using 'shellquote' or 'shellxquote', the "!start cmd" wasn't executed in a disconnected process. When resizing the window, causing a line before the cursor to wrap or unwrap, the cursor was displayed in the wrong position. There was quite a bit of dead code when compiling with minimal features. When doing a ":%s///" command that makes lines shorter, such that lines above the final cursor position no longer wrap, the cursor position was not updated. get_id_list() could allocate an array one too small, when a "contains=" item has a wildcard that matches a group name that is added just after it. E.g.: "contains=a.b,axb". Give an error message for it. When yanking a Visual area and using the middle mouse button -> crash. When clipboard doesn't work, now make " always use "". Win32: Using ":buf a\ b\file" didn't work, it was interpreted as "ab\file". Using ":ts ident", then hit <CR>, with 'cmdheight' set to 2: command line was not cleared, the tselect prompt was on the last but one line. mksession didn't restore the cursor column properly when it was after a tab. Could not get all windows back when using a smaller terminal screen. Didn't restore all windows when "winsize" was not in 'sessionoptions'. (Webb) Command line completion for ":buffer" depended on 'ignorecase' for Unix, but not for DOS et al. Now don't use 'ignorecase', but let it depend on whether file names are case sensitive or not (like when expanding file names). Win32 GUI: (Negri) - Redrawing the background caused flicker when resizing the window. Removed _OnEraseBG(). Removed CS_HREDRAW and CS_VREDRAW flags from the sndclass.style. - Some parts of the window were drawn in grey, instead of using the color from the user color scheme. - Dropping a file on gvim didn't activate the window. - When there is no menu ('guioptions' excludes 'm'), never use the ALT key for it. GUI: When resizing the window, would make the window height a bit smaller. Now round off to the nearest char cell size. (Negri) In Vi the ")" and "(" commands don't stop at a single space after a dot. Added 'J' flag in 'cpoptions' to make this behave Vi compatible. (Roemer) When saving a session without any buffers loaded, there would be a ":normal" command without arguments in it. (Webb) Memory leaks fixed: (Madsen) - eval.c: forgot to release func structure when func deleted - ex_docmd.c: forgot to release string after "<sfile>" - misc1.c: leak when completion pattern had no matches. - os_unix.c: forgot to release regexp after file completions Could crash when using a buffer without a name. (Madsen) Could crash when doing file name completion, because of backslash_halve(). (Madsen) ":@a" would do mappings on register a, which is not Vi compatible. (Roemer) ":g/foo.()/s/foobar/_&/gc" worked fine, but then "n" searched for "foobar" and displayed "/foo.()". (Roemer) OS/2: get_cmd_output() was not included. Didn't check for $VIM/.vimrc file. Command line completion of options didn't work after "+=" and "-=". Unix configure: Test for memmove()/bcopy()/memcpy() tried redefining these functions, which could fail if they are defined already. Use mch_memmove() to redefine. Unix: ":let a = expand("`xterm`&")" started an xterm asynchronously, but ":let a = expand("`xterm&`")" generated an error message, because the redirection was put after the '&'. Win32 GUI: Dialog buttons could not be selected properly with cursor keys, when the default is not the first button. (Webb) The "File has changed since editing started" (when regaining focus) could not always be seen. (Webb) When starting with "ex filename", the file message was overwritten with the "entering Ex mode" message. Output of ":tselect" listed name of file directly from the tags file. Now it is corrected for the position of the tags file. When 'backspace' is 0, could backspace over autoindent. Now it is no longer allowed (Vi compatible). In Replace mode, when 'noexpandtab' and 'smarttab' were set, and inserting Tabs, backspacing didn't work correctly for Tabs inserted at the start of the line (unless 'sts' was set too). Also, when replacing the first non-blank after which is a space, rounding the indent was done on the first non-blank instead of on the character under the cursor. When 'sw' at 4, 'ts' at 8 and 'smarttab' set: When a tab was appended after four spaces (they are replaced with a tab) couldn't backspace over the tab. In Insert mode, with 'bs' set to 0, couldn't backspace to before autoindent, even when it was removed with CTRL-D. When repeating an insert command where a <BS>, <Left> or other key causes an error, would flush buffers and remain in Insert mode. No longer flush buffers, only beep and continue with the insert command. Dos and Win32 console: Setting t_me didn't work to get another color. Made this works backwards compatible. For Turkish (LANG = "tr") uppercase 'i' is not an 'I'. Use ASCII uppercase translation in vim_strup() to avoid language problems. (Komur) Unix: Use usleep() or nanosleep() for mch_delay() when available. Hopefully this avoids a hangup in select(0, ..) for Solaris 2.6. Vim would crash when using a script file with 'let &sp = "\| tee"', starting vim with "vim -u test", then doing ":set sp=". The P_WAS_SET flag wasn't set for a string option, could cause problems with any string option. When using "cmd \| vim -", stdin is not a terminal. This gave problems with GPM (Linux console mouse) and when executing external commands. Now close stdin and re-open it as a copy of stderr. Syntax highlighting: A "nextgroup" item was not properly stored in the state list. This caused missing of next groups when not redrawing from start to end, but starting halfway. Didn't check for valid values of 'ttymouse'. When executing an external command from the GUI, waiting for the child to terminate might not work, causing a hang. (Parmelan) "make uninstall" didn't delete the vimrc_example.vim and gvimrc_example.vim files and the vimtutor. Win32: "expand("%:p:h")" with no buffer name removed the directory name. "fnamemodify("", ":p")" did not add a trailing slash, fname_case() removed it. Fixed: When 'hlsearch' was set and the 'c' flag was not in 'cpoptions': highlighting was not correct. Now overlapping matches are handled correctly. Athena, Motif and GTK GUI: When started without focus, cursor was shown as if with focus. Don't include 'shellpipe' when compiled without quickfix, it's not used. Don't include 'dictionary' option when compiled without the +insert_expand feature. Only include the 'shelltype' option for the Amiga. When making a change to a line, with 'hlsearch' on, causing it to wrap, while executing a register, the screen would not be updated correctly. This was a generic problem in update_screenline() being called while must_redraw is VALID. Using ":bdelete" in a BufUnload autocommand could cause a crash. The window height was added to another window twice in close_window(). Win32 GUI: When removing a menu item, the tearoff wasn't updated. (Negri) Some performance bottlenecks removed. Allocating memory was not efficient. For Win32 checking for available memory was slow, don't check it every time now. On NT obtaining the user name takes a long time, cache the result (for all systems). fnamemodify() with an argument ":~:." or ":.:~" didn't work properly. When editing a new file and exiting, the marks for the buffer were not saved in the viminfo file. ":confirm only" didn't put up a dialog. These text objects didn't work when 'selection' was "exclusive": va( vi( va{ vi{ va< vi< vi[ va[. The dialog for writing a readonly file didn't have a valid default. (Negri) The line number used for error messages when sourcing a file was reset when modelines were inspected. It was wrong when executing a function. The file name and line number for an error message wasn't displayed when it was the same as for the last error, even when this was long ago. Now reset the name/lnum after a hit-enter prompt. In a session file, a "%" in a file name caused trouble, because fprintf() was used to write it to the file. When skipping statements, a mark in an address wasn't skipped correctly: "ka\|if 0\|'ad\|else\|echo\|endif". (Roemer) ":wall" could overwrite a not-edited file without asking. GUI: When $DISPLAY was not set or starting the GUI failed in another way, the console mode then started with wrong colors and skipped initializations. Now do an early check if the GUI can be started. Don't source the menu.vim or gvimrc when it will not. Also do normal terminal initializations if the GUI might not start. When using a BufEnter autocommand to position the cursor and scroll the window, the cursor was always put at the last used line and halfway the window anyhow. When 'wildmode' was set to "longest,list:full", ":e .c<Tab><Tab>" didn't list the matches. Also avoid that listing after a "longest" lists the wrong matches when the first expansion changed the string in front of the cursor. When using ":insert", ":append" or ":change" inside a while loop, was not able to break out of it with a CTRL-C. Win32: ":e ." took an awful long time before an error message when used in "C:\". Was caused by adding another backslash and then trying to get the full name for "C:\\". ":winpos -10 100" was working like ":winpos -10 -10", because a pointer was not advanced past the '-' sign. When obtaining the value of a hidden option, would give an error message. Now just use a zero value. OS/2: Was using argv[0], even though it was not a useful name. It could be just "vim", found in the search path. Xterm: ":set columns=78" didn't redraw properly (when lines wrap/unwrap) until after a delay of 'updatetime'. Didn't check for the size-changed signal. 'scrollbind' didn't work in Insert mode. Horizontal scrollbinding didn't always work for "0" and "$" commands (e.g., when 'showcmd' was off). When compiled with minimal features but with GUI, switching on the mouse in an xterm caused garbage, because the mouse codes were not recognized. Don't enable the mouse when it can't be recognized. In the GUI it also didn't work, the arguments to the mouse code were not interpreted. When 'showbreak' used, in Insert mode, when the cursor is just after the last character in the line, which is also the in the rightmost column, the cursor position would be like the 'showbreak' string is shown, but it wasn't. Autocommands could move the cursor in a new file, so that CTRL-W i didn't show the right line. Same for when using a filemark to jump to another file. When redefining the argument list, the title used for other windows could be showing the wrong info about the position in the argument list. Also update this for a ":split" command without arguments. When editing file 97 of 13, ":Next" didn't work. Now it goes to the last file in the argument list. Insert mode completion (for dictionaries or included files) could not be interrupted by typing an <Esc>. Could get hit-enter prompt after line completion, or whenever the informative message would get too long. When using the ":edit" command to re-edit the same file, an autocommand to jump to the last cursor position caused the cursor to move. Now set the last used cursor position to avoid this. When 'comments' has a part that starts with white space, formatting the comment didn't work. At the ":tselect" prompt Normal mode mappings were used. That has been disabled. When 'selection' is not "old", some commands still didn't allow the cursor past the end-of-line in Visual mode. Athena: When a menu was deleted, it would appear again (but not functional) when adding another menu. Now they don't reappear anymore (although they are not really deleted either). Borland C++ 4.x had an optimizer problem in fill_breakat_flags(). (Negri) "ze" didn't work when 'number' was on. (Davis) Win32 GUI: Intellimouse code didn't work properly on Windows 98. (Robinson) A few files were including proto.h a second time, after vim.h had already done that, which could cause problems with the vim_realloc() macro. Win32 console: <M-x> or ALT-x was not recognized. Also keypad '+', '-' and ''. (Negri) MS-DOS: <M-x> didn't work, produced a two-byte code. Now the alphabetic and number keys work. (Negri) When finding a lot of matches for a tag completion, the check for avoiding double matches could take a lot of time. Add a line_breakcheck() to be able to interrupt this. (Deshpande) When the command line was getting longer than the screen, the more-prompt would be given regularly, and the cursor position would be wrong. Now only show the part of the command line that fits on the screen and force the cursor to be positioned on the visible part. There can be text after the cursor which isn't editable. At the more prompt and with the console dialog, a cursor key was interpreted as <Esc> and OA. Now recognize special keys in get_keystroke(). Ignore mouse and scrollbar events. When typing a BS after inserting a middle comment leader, typing the last char of the end comment leader still changed it into the end comment leader. (Webb) When a file system is full, writing to a swap file failed. Now first try to write one block to the file. Try next entry in 'dir' if it fails. When "~" is in 'whichwrap', doing "~" on last char of a line didn't update the display. Unix: Expanding wildcards for ":file {\\}" didn't work, because "\}" was translated to "}" before the shell got it. Now don't remove backslashes when wildcards are going to be expanded. Unix: ":e /tmp/$uid" didn't work. When expanding environment variables in a file name doesn't work, use the shell to expand the file name. ":e /tmp/$tty" still doesn't work though. "make test" didn't always work on DOS/Windows for test30, because it depended on the external "echo" command. The link.sh script used "make" instead of $MAKE from the Makefile. Caused problems for generating pathdef.c when "make" doesn't work properly. On versions that can do console and GUI: In the console a typed CSI code could cause trouble. The patterns in expression evaluation didn't ignore the 'l' flag in 'cpoptions'. This broke the working of <CR> in the options window. When 'hls' off and 'ai' on, "O<Esc>" did remove the indent, but it was still highlighted red for trailing space. Win32 GUI: Dropping an encrypted file on a running gvim didn't work right. Vim would loop while outputting "" characters. vgetc() was called recursively, thus it returns NUL. Added safe_vgetc(), which reads input directly from the user in this situation. While reading text from stdin, only an empty screen was shown. Now show that Vim is reading from stdin. The cursor shape wasn't set properly when returning to Insert mode, after using a CTRL-O /asdf command which fails. It would be OK after a few seconds. Now it's OK right away. The 'isfname' default for DOS/Windows didn't include the '@' character. File names that contained "dir\@file" could not be edited. Win32 console: <C-S-Left> could cause a crash when compiled with Borland or egcs. (Aaron) Unix and VMS: "#if HAVE_DIRENT_H" caused problems for some compilers. Use "#ifdef HAVE_DIRENT_H" instead. (Jones) When a matching tag is in the current file but has a search pattern that doesn't match, the cursor would jump to the first line. Unix: Dependencies for pty.c were not included in Makefile. Dependency of ctags/config.h was not included (only matters for parallel make). Removed a few Uninitialized Memory Reads (potential crashes). In do_call() calling clear_var() when not evaluating. In win32_expandpath() and dos_expandpath() calling backslash_halve() past the end of a file name. Removed memory leaks: Set_vim_var_string() never freed the value. The next_list for a syntax keyword was never freed. On non-Unix systems, using a file name with wildcards without a match would silently fail. E.g., ":e .sh". Now give a "No match" error message. The life/life.mac, urm/urm.mac and hanoi/hanoi.mac files were not recognized as Vim scripts. Renamed them to .vim. [Note: some numbered patches are not relevant when upgrading from version 5.3, they have been removed] Patch 5.4m.1 Problem: When editing a file with a long name, would get the hit-enter prompt, even though all settings are such that the name should be truncated to avoid that. filemess() was printing the file name without truncating it. Solution: Truncate the message in filemess(). Use the same code as for msg_trunc_attr(), which is moved to the new function msg_may_trunc(). Files: src/message.c, src/proto/message.pro, src/fileio.c Patch 5.4m.3 Problem: The Motif libraries were not found by configure for Digital Unix. Solution: Add "/usr/shlib" to the search path. (Andy Kahn) Files: src/configure.in, src/configure Patch 5.4m.5 Problem: Win32 GUI: When using the Save-As menu entry and selecting an existing file in the file browser, would get a dialog to confirm overwriting twice. (Ed Krall) Solution: Removed the dialog from the file browser. It would be nicer to set the "forceit" flag and skip Vim's ":confirm" dialog, but it requires quite a few changes to do that. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4m.6 Problem: Win32 GUI: When reading text from stdin, e.g., "cat foo \| gvim -", a message box would pop up with "-stdin-" (when exiting). (Michael Schaap) Solution: Don't switch off termcap mode for versions that are GUI-only. They use another terminal to read from stdin. Files: src/main.c, src/fileio.c Patch 5.4m.7 Problem: Unix: running configure with --enable-gtk-check, --enable-motif-check, --enable-athena-check or --enable-gtktest had the reverse effect. (Thomas Koehler) Solution: Use $enable_gtk_check variable correctly in AC_ARG_ENABLE(). Files: src/configure.in, src/configure Patch 5.4m.9 Problem: Multi-byte: With wrapping lines, the cursor was sometimes 2 characters to the left. Syntax highlighting was wrong when a double-byte character was split for a wrapping line. When 'showbreak' was on the splitting also didn't work. Solution: Adjust getvcol() and win_line(). (Chong-Dae Park) Files: src/charset.c, src/screen.c Patch 5.4m.11 Problem: The ":call" command didn't check for illegal trailing characters. (Stefan Roemer) Solution: Add the check in do_call(). Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.4m.13 Problem: With the ":s" command: 1. When performing a substitute command, the mouse would be disabled and enabled for every substitution. 2. The cursor position could be beyond the end of the line. Calling line_breakcheck() could try to position the cursor, which causes a crash in the Win32 GUI. 3. When using ":s" in a ":g" command, the cursor was not put on the first non-white in the line. 4. There was a hit-enter prompt when confirming the substitution and the replacement was a bit longer. Solution: 1. Only disable/enable the mouse when asking for confirmation. 2. Always put the cursor on the first character, it is going to be moved to the first non-blank anyway. Don't use the cursor position in gui_mch_draw_hollow_cursor(), get the character from the screen buffer. 3. Added global_need_beginline flag to call beginline() after ":g" has finished all substitutions. 4. Clear the need_wait_return flag after prompting the user. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4m.14 Problem: When doing "vim xxx", ":opt", ":only" and then ":e xxx" we end up with two swapfiles for "xxx". That is caused by the ":bdel" command which is executed when unloading the option-window. Also, there was no check if closing a buffer made the new one invalid, this could cause a crash. Solution: When closing a buffer causes the current buffer to be deleted, use the new buffer to replace it. Also detect that the new buffer has become invalid as a side effect of closing the current one. Make autocommand that calls ":bdel" in optwin.vim nested, so that the buffer loading it triggers also executes autocommands. Also added a test for this in test13. Files: runtime/optwin.vim, src/buffer.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/globals.h src/testdir/test13.in, src/testdir/test13.ok Patch 5.4m.15 Problem: When using a BufEnter autocommand to reload the syntax file, conversion to HTML caused a crash. (Sung-Hyun Nam) Solution: When using ":syntax clear" the current stack of syntax items was not cleared. This will cause memory to be used that has already been freed. Added call to invalidate_current_state() in syntax_clear(). Files: src/syntax.c Patch 5.4m.17 Problem: When omitting a ')' in an expression it would not be seen as a failure. When detecting an error inside (), there would be an error message for a missing ')' too. When using ":echo 1+\|echo 2" there was no error message. (Roemer) When using ":exe 1+" there was no error message. When using ":return 1+" there was no error message. Solution: Fix do_echo(), do_execute() and do_return() to give an error message when eval1() returns FAIL. Fix eval6() to handle trailing ')' correctly and return FAIL when it's missing. Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.4m.18 Problem: When using input() from inside an expression entered with "CTRL-R =" on the command line, there could be a crash. And the resulting command line was wrong. Solution: Added getcmdline_prompt(), which handles recursive use of getcmdline() correctly. It also sets the command line prompt. Removed cmdline_prompt(). Also use getcmdline_prompt() for getting the crypt key in get_crypt_key(). Files: src/proto/ex_getln.pro, src/ex_getln.c, src/eval.c, src/misc2.c Patch 5.4m.21 Problem: When starting up, the screen structures were first allocated at the minimal size, then initializations were done with Rows possibly different from screen_Rows. Caused a crash in rare situations (GTK with XIM and fontset). Solution: Call screenalloc() in main() only after calling ui_get_winsize(). Also avoids a potential delay because of calling screenclear() while "starting" is non-zero. Files: src/main.c Patch 5.4m.22 Problem: In the GUI it was possible that the screen was resized and the screen structures re-allocated while redrawing the screen. This could cause a crash (hard to reproduce). The call sequence goes through update_screen() .. syntax_start() .. ui_breakcheck() .. gui_resize_window() .. screenalloc(). Solution: Set updating_screen while redrawing. If the window is resized remember the new size and handle it only after redrawing is finished. This also fixes that resizing the screen while still redrawing (slow syntax highlighting) would not work properly. Also disable display_hint, it was never used. Files: src/globals.h, src/gui.c, src/screen.c, src/proto/gui.pro Patch 5.4m.23 Problem: When using expand("<cword>") when there was no word under the cursor, would get an error message. Same for <cWORD> and <cfile>. Solution: Don't give an error message, return an empty string. Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.4m.24 Problem: ":help \\|" didn't find anything. It was translated to "/\\\|". Solution: Translate "\\|" into "\\bar". First check the table for specific translations before checking for "\x". Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 5.4m.25 Problem: Unix: When using command line completion on files that contain ''', '"' or '\|' the file name could not be used. Adding this file name to the Buffers menu caused an error message. Solution: Insert a backslash before these three characters. Adjust Mungename() function to insert a backslash before '\|'. Files: src/ex_getln.c, runtime/menu.vim Patch 5.4m.26 Problem: When using a mapping of two function keys, e.g., <F1><F1>, and only the first char of the second key has been read, the mapping would not be recognized. Noticed on some Unix systems with xterm. Solution: Add 'K' flag to 'cpoptions' to wait for the whole key code, even when halfway a mapping. Files: src/option.h, src/term.c Patch 5.4m.27 Problem: When making test33 without the lisp feature it hangs. Interrupting the execution of the script then might cause a crash. Solution: In inchar(), after closing a script, don't use buf[] anymore. closescript() has freed typebuf[] and buf[] might be pointing inside typebuf[]. Avoid that test33 hangs when the lisp feature is missing. Files: src/getchar.c src/testdir/test33.in "os2" was missing from the feature list. Useful for has("os2"). BeOS: - Included patches from Richard Offer for BeOS R4.5. - menu code didn't work right. Crashed in the Buffers menu. The window title wasn't set. (Offer) Patch 5.4n.3 Problem: C-indenting was wrong after " } else". The white space was not skipped. Visible when 'cino' has "+10". Solution: Skip white space before calling cin_iselse(). (Norbert Zeh) Files: src/misc1.c Patch 5.4n.4 Problem: When the 't' flag in 'cpoptions' is included, after a ":nohlsearch" the search highlighting would not be enabled again after a tag search. (Norbert Zeh) Solution: When setting the new search pattern in jumpto_tag(), don't restore no_hlsearch. Files: src/tag.c Patch 5.4n.5 Problem: When using ":normal" from a CursorHold autocommand Vim hangs. The autocommand is executed down from vgetc(). Calling vgetc() recursively to execute the command doesn't work then. Solution: Forbid the use of ":normal" when vgetc_busy is set. Give an error message when this happens. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, runtime/doc/autocmd.txt Patch 5.4n.6 Problem: "gv" could reselect a Visual that starts and/or ends past the end of a line. (Robert Webb) Solution: Check that the start and end of the Visual area are on a valid character by calling adjust_cursor(). Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.4n.8 Problem: When a mark was on a non existing line (e.g., when the .viminfo was edited), jumping to it caused ml_get errors. (Alexey Marinichev). Solution: Added check_cursor_lnum() in nv_gomark(). Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.4n.9 Problem: ":-2" moved the cursor to a negative line number. (Ralf Schandl) Solution: Give an error message for a negative line number. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.4n.10 Problem: Win32 GUI: At the hit-enter prompt, it was possible to scroll the text. This erased the prompt and made Vim look like it is in Normal mode, while it is actually still waiting for a <CR>. Solution: Disallow scrolling at the hit-enter prompt for systems that use on the fly scrolling. Files: src/message.c Patch 5.4n.14 Problem: Win32 GUI: When using ":winsize 80 46" and the height is more than what fits on the screen, the window size was made smaller than asked for (that's OK) and Vim crashed (that's not OK)> Solution: Call check_winsize() from gui_set_winsize() to resize the windows. Files: src/gui.c Patch 5.4n.16 Problem: Win32 GUI: The <F10> key both selected the menu and was handled as a key hit. Solution: Apply 'winaltkeys' to <F10>, like it is used for Alt keys. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4n.17 Problem: Local buffer variables were freed when the buffer is unloaded. That's not logical, since options are not freed. (Ron Aaron) Solution: Free local buffer variables only when deleting the buffer. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 5.4n.19 Problem: Doing ":e" (without argument) in an option-window causes trouble. The mappings for <CR> and <Space> are not removed. When there is another buffer loaded, the swap file for it gets mixed up. (Steve Mueller) Solution: Also remove the mappings at the BufUnload event, if they are still present. When re-editing the same file causes the current buffer to be deleted, don't try editing it. Also added a test for this situation. Files: runtime/optwin.vim, src/ex_cmds.c, src/testdir/test13.in, src/testdir/test13.ok Patch 5.4n.24 Problem: BeOS: configure never enabled the GUI, because $with_x was "no". Unix prototypes caused problems, because Display and Widget are undefined. Freeing fonts on exit caused a crash. Solution: Only disable the GUI when $with_x is "no" and $BEOS is not "yes". Add dummy defines for Display and Widget in proto.h. Don't free the fonts in gui_exit() for BeOS. Files: src/configure.in, src/configure, src/proto.h, src/gui.c. The runtime/vim48x48.xpm icon didn't have a transparent background. (Schild) Some versions of the mingw32/egcs compiler didn't have WINBASEAPI defined. (Aaron) VMS: - mch_setenv() had two arguments instead of three. - The system vimrc and gvimrc files were called ".vimrc" and ".gvimrc". Removed the dot. - call to RealWaitForChar() had one argument too many. (Campbell) - WaitForChar() is static, removed the prototype from proto/os_vms.pro. - Many file accesses failed, because Unix style file names were used. Translate file names to VMS style by using vim_fopen(). - Filtering didn't work, because the temporary file name was generated wrong. - There was an extra newline every 9192 characters when writing a file. Work around it by writing line by line. (Campbell) - os_vms.c contained "# typedef int DESC". Should be "typedef int DESC;". Only mattered for generating prototypes. - Added file name translation to many places. Made easy by defining macros mch_access(), mch_fopen(), mch_fstat(), mch_lstat() and mch_stat(). - Set default for 'tagbsearch' to off, because binary tag searching apparently doesn't work for VMS. - make mch_get_host_name() work with /dec and /standard=vaxc. (Campbell) Patch 5.4o.2 Problem: Crash when using "gf" on "file.c://comment here". (Scott Graham) Solution: Fix wrong use of pointers in get_file_name_in_path(). Files: src/window.c Patch 5.4o.3 Problem: The horizontal scrollbar was not sized correctly when 'number' is set and 'wrap' not set. Athena: Horizontal scrollbar wasn't updated when the cursor was positioned with a mouse click just after dragging. Solution: Subtract 8 from the size when 'number' set and 'wrap' not set. Reset gui.dragged_sb when a mouse click is received. Files: src/gui.c Patch 5.4o.4 Problem: When running in an xterm and $WINDOWID is set to an illegal value, Vim would exit with "Vim: Got X error". Solution: When using the display which was opened for the xterm clipboard, check if x11_window is valid by trying to obtain the window title. Also add a check in setup_xterm_clip(), for when using X calls to get the pointer position in an xterm. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 5.4o.5 Problem: Motif version with Lesstif: When removing the menubar and then using a menu shortcut key, Vim would crash. (raf) Solution: Disable the menu mnemonics when the menu bar is removed. Files: src/gui_motif.c Patch 5.4o.9 Problem: The DOS install.exe program used the "move" program. That doesn't work on Windows NT, where "move" is internal to cmd.exe. Solution: Don't use an external program for moving the executables. Use C functions to copy the file and delete the original. Files: src/dosinst.c Motif and Athena obtained the status area height differently from GTK. Moved status_area_enabled from global.h to gui_x11.c and call xim_get_status_area_height() to get the status area height. Patch 5.4p.1 Problem: When using auto-select, and the "gv" command is used, would not always obtain ownership of the selection. Caused by the Visual area still being the same, but ownership taken away by another program. Solution: Reset the clipboard Visual mode to force updating the selection. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.4p.2 Problem: Motif and Athena with XIM: Typing 3-byte <multibyte><multibyte><space> doesn't work correctly with Ami XIM. Solution: Avoid using key_sym XK_VoidSymbol. (Nam) Files: src/multbyte.c, src/gui_x11.c Patch 5.4p.4 Problem: Win32 GUI: The scrollbar values were reduced for a file with more than 32767 lines. But this info was kept global for all scrollbars, causing a mixup between the windows. Using the down arrow of a scrollbar in a large file didn't work. Because of round-off errors there is no scroll at all. Solution: Give each scrollbar its own scroll_shift field. When the down arrow is used, scroll several lines. Files: src/gui.h, src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4p.5 Problem: When changing buffers in a BufDelete autocommand, there could be ml_line errors and/or a crash. (Schandl) Was caused by deleting the current buffer. Solution: When the buffer to be deleted unexpectedly becomes the current buffer, don't delete it. Also added a check for this in test13. Files: src/buffer.c, src/testdir/test13.in, src/testdir/test13.ok Patch 5.4p.7 Problem: Win32 GUI: When using 'mousemodel' set to "popup_setpos" and clicking the right mouse button outside of the selected area, the selected area wasn't removed until the popup menu has gone. (Aaron) Solution: Set the cursor and update the display before showing the popup menu. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.4p.8 Problem: The generated bugreport didn't contain information about $VIMRUNTIME and whether runtime files actually exist. Solution: Added a few checks to the bugreport script. Files: runtime/bugreport.vim Patch 5.4p.9 Problem: The windows install.exe created a wrong entry in the popup menu. The "%1" was "". The full directory was included, even when the executable had been moved elsewhere. (Ott) Solution: Double the '%' to get one from printf. Only include the path to gvim.exe when it wasn't moved and it's not in $PATH. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 5.4p.10 Problem: Win32: On top of 5.4p.9: The "Edit with Vim" entry sometimes used a short file name for a directory. Solution: Change the "%1" to "%L" in the registry entry. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 5.4p.11 Problem: Motif, Athena and GTK: When closing the GUI window when there is a changed buffer, there was only an error message and Vim would not exit. Solution: Put up a dialog, like for ":confirm qa". Uses the code that was already used for MS-Windows. Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4p.12 Problem: Win32: Trying to expand a string that is longer than 256 characters could cause a crash. (Steed) Solution: For the buffer in win32_expandpath() don't use a fixed size array, allocate it. Files: src/os_win32.c MSDOS: Added "-Wall" to Makefile.djg compile flags. Function prototypes for fname_case() and mch_update_cursor() were missing. "fd" was unused in mf_sync(). "puiLocation" was unused in myputch(). "newcmd" unused in mch_call_shell() for DJGPP version. ============================================================================== VERSION 5.5 version-5.5* Version 5.5 is a bug-fix version of 5.4. Changed changed-5.5 ------- The DJGPP version is now compiled with "-O2" instead of "-O4" to reduce the size of the executables. Moved the src/STYLE file to runtime/doc/develop.txt. Added the design goals to it. 'backspace' is now a string option. See patch 5.4.15. Added added-5.5 ----- Included Exuberant Ctags version 3.3. (Darren Hiebert) In runtime/mswin.vim, map CTRL-Q to CTRL-V, so that CTRL-Q can be used everywhere to do what CTRL-V used to do. Support for decompression of bzip2 files in vimrc_example.vim. When a patch is included, the patch number is entered in a table in version.c. This allows skipping a patch without breaking a next one. Support for mouse scroll wheel in X11. See patch 5.5a.14. line2byte() can be used to get the size of the buffer. See patch 5.4.35. The CTRL-R CTRL-O r and CTRL-R CTRL-P r commands in Insert mode are used to insert a register literally. See patch 5.4.48. Uninstall program for MS-Windows. To be able to remove the registry entries for "Edit with Vim". It is registered to be run from the "Add/Remove programs" application. See patch 5.4.x7. Fixed fixed-5.5 ----- When using vimrc_example.vim: An error message when the cursor is on a line higher than the number of lines in the compressed file. Move the autocommand for jumping to the last known cursor position to after the decompressing autocommands. ":mkexrc" and ":mksession" wrote the current value of 'textmode'. That may mark a file as modified, which causes problems. This is a buffer-specific setting, it should not affect all files. "vim --version" wrote two empty lines. Unix: The alarm signal could kill Vim. It is generated by the Perl alarm() function. Ignore SIGALRM. Win32 GUI: Toolbar still had the yellow bitmap for running a Vim script. BeOS: "tmo" must be bigtime_t, instead of double. (Seibert) Patch 5.4.1 Problem: Test11 fails when $GZIP is set to "-v". (Matthew Jackson) Solution: Set $GZIP to an empty string. Files: src/testdir/test11.in Patch 5.4.2 Problem: Typing <Esc> at the crypt key prompt caused a crash. (Kallingal) Solution: Check for a NULL pointer returned from get_crypt_key(). Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.4.3 Problem: Python: Trying to use the name of an unnamed buffer caused a crash. (Daniel Burrows) Solution: Check for b_fname being a NULL pointer. Files: src/if_python.c Patch 5.4.4 Problem: Win32: When compiled without toolbar, but the 'T' flag is in 'guioptions', there would be an empty space for the toolbar. Solution: Add two #ifdefs where checking for the 'T' flag. (Vince Negri) Files: src/gui.c Patch 5.4.5 Problem: Athena GUI: Using the Buffers.Refresh menu entry caused a crash. Looks like any ":unmenu" command may cause trouble. Solution: Disallow ":unmenu" in the Athena version. Disable the Buffers menu, because the Refresh item would not work. Files: src/menu.c, runtime/menu.vim Patch 5.4.6 Problem: GTK GUI: Using ":gui" in the .gvimrc file caused an error. Only happens when the GUI forks. Solution: Don't fork in a recursive call of gui_start(). Files: src/gui.c Patch 5.4.7 Problem: Typing 'q' at the more prompt for the ATTENTION message causes the file loading to be interrupted. (Will Day) Solution: Reset got_int after showing the ATTENTION message. Files: src/memline.c Patch 5.4.8 Problem: Edit some file, ":he", ":opt": options from help window are shown, but pressing space updates from the other window. (Phillipps) Also: When there are changes in the option-window, ":q!" gives an error message. Solution: Before creating the option-window, go to a non-help window. Use ":bdel!" to delete the buffer. Files: runtime/optwin.vim Patch 5.4.9 Just updates version.h. The real patch has been moved to 5.4.x1. This patch is just to keep the version number correct. Patch 5.4.10 Problem: GTK GUI: When $DISPLAY is invalid, "gvim -f" just exits. It should run in the terminal. Solution: Use gtk_init_check() instead of gtk_init(). Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 5.4.11 Problem: When using the 'S' flag in 'cpoptions', 'tabstop' is not copied to the next buffer for some commands, e.g., ":buffer". Solution: When the BCO_NOHELP flag is given to buf_copy_options(), still copy the options used by do_help() when neither the "from" or "to" buffer is a help buffer. Files: src/option.c Patch 5.4.12 Problem: When using 'smartindent', there would be no extra indent if the current line did not have any indent already. (Hanus Adler) Solution: There was a wrongly placed "else", that previously matched with the "if" that set trunc_line. Removed the "else" and added a check for trunc_line to be false. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 5.4.13 Problem: New SGI C compilers need another option for optimisation. Solution: Add a check in configure for "-OPT:Olimit". (Chin A Young) Files: src/configure.in, src/configure Patch 5.4.14 Problem: Motif GUI: When the popup menu is present, a tiny window appears on the desktop for some users. Solution: Set the menu widget ID for a popup menu to 0. (Thomas Koehler) Files: src/gui_motif.c Patch 5.4.15 Problem: Since 'backspace' set to 0 has been made Vi compatible, it is no longer possible to only allow deleting autoindent. Solution: Make 'backspace' a list of parts, to allow each kind of backspacing separately. Files: src/edit.c, src/option.c, src/option.h, src/proto/option.pro, runtime/doc/option.txt, runtime/doc/insert.txt Patch 5.4.16 Problem: Multibyte: Locale zh_TW.Big5 was not checked for in configure. Solution: Add zh_TW.Big5 to configure check. (Chih-Tsun Huang) Files: src/configure.in, src/configure Patch 5.4.17 Problem: GUI: When started from inside gvim with ":!gvim", Vim would not start. ":!gvim -f" works fine. Solution: After forking, wait a moment in the parent process, to give the child a chance to set its process group. Files: src/gui.c Patch 5.4.18 Problem: Python: The clear_history() function also exists in a library. Solution: Rename clear_history() to clear_hist(). Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/eval.c, src/proto/ex_getln.pro Patch 5.4.19 Problem: In a terminal with 25 lines, there is a more prompt after the ATTENTION message. When hitting 'q' here the dialog prompt doesn't appear and file loading is interrupted. (Will Day) Solution: Don't allow quitting the printing of a message for the dialog prompt. Added the msg_noquit_more flag for this. Files: src/message.c Patch 5.4.20 Problem: GTK: When starting gvim, would send escape sequences to the terminal to switch the cursor off and on. Solution: Don't call msg_start() if the GUI is expected to start. Files: src/main.c Patch 5.4.21 Problem: Motif: Toplevel menu ordering was wrong when using tear-off items. Solution: Don't add one to the index for a toplevel menu. Files: src/gui_motif.c Patch 5.4.22 Problem: In Insert mode, <C-Left>, <S-Left>, <C-Right> and <S-Right> didn't update the column used for vertical movement. Solution: Set curwin->w_set_curswant for those commands. Files: src/edit.c Patch 5.4.23 Problem: When a Visual selection is lost to another program, and then the same text is Visually selected again, the clipboard ownership wasn't regained. Solution: Set clipboard.vmode to NUL to force regaining the clipboard. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.4.24 Problem: Encryption: When using ":r file" while 'key' has already entered, the 'key' option would be messed up. When writing the file it would be encrypted with an unknown key and lost! (Brad Despres) Solution: Don't free cryptkey when it is equal to the 'key' option. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.4.25 Problem: When 'cindent' is set, but 'autoindent' isn't, comments are not properly indented when starting a new line. (Mitterand) Solution: When there is a comment leader for the new line, but 'autoindent' isn't set, do C-indenting. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 5.4.26 Problem: Multi-byte: a multibyte character is never recognized in a file name, causing a backslash before it to be removed on Windows. Solution: Assume that a leading-byte character is a file name character in vim_isfilec(). Files: src/charset.c Patch 5.4.27 Problem: Entries in the PopUp[nvic] menus were added for several modes, but only deleted for the mode they were used for. This resulted in the entry remaining in the PopUp menu. When removing a PopUp[nvic] menu, the name had been truncated, could result in greying-out the whole PopUp menu. Solution: Remove entries for all modes from the PopUp[nvic] menus. Remove the PopUp[nvic] menu entries first, before the name is changed. Files: src/menu.c Patch 5.4.28 Problem: When using a BufWritePre autocommand to change 'fileformat', the new value would not be used for writing the file. Solution: Check 'fileformat' after executing the autocommands instead of before. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.4.29 Problem: Athena GUI: When removing the 'g' flag from 'guioptions', using a menu can result in a crash. Solution: Always grey-out menus for Athena, don't hide them. Files: src/menu.c Patch 5.4.30 Problem: BeOS: Suspending Vim with CTRL-Z didn't work (killed Vim). The first character typed after ":sh" goes to Vim, instead of the started shell. Solution: Don't suspend Vim, start a new shell. Kill the async read thread when starting a new shell. It will be restarted later. (Will Day) Files: src/os_unix.c, src/ui.c Patch 5.4.31 Problem: GUI: When 'mousefocus' is set, moving the mouse over where a window boundary was, causes a hit-enter prompt to be finished. (Jeff Walker) Solution: Don't use 'mousefocus' at the hit-enter prompt. Also ignore it for the more prompt and a few other situations. When an operator is pending, abort it first. Files: src/gui.c Patch 5.4.32 Problem: Unix: $LDFLAGS was not passed to configure. Solution: Pass $LDFLAGS to configure just like $CFLAGS. (Jon Miner) Files: src/Makefile Patch 5.4.33 Problem: Unix: After expanding an environment variable with the shell, the next expansion would also use the shell, even though it is not needed. Solution: Reset "recursive" before returning from gen_expand_wildcards(). Files: src/misc1.c Patch 5.4.34 (also see 5.4.x5) Problem: When editing a file, and the file name is relative to a directory above the current directory, the file name was made absolute. (Gregory Margo) Solution: Add an argument to shorten_fnames() which indicates if all file names should be shortened, or only absolute names. In main() only use shorten_fnames() to shorten absolute names. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/fileio.c, src/main.c, src/proto/fileio.pro Patch 5.4.35 Problem: There is no function to get the current file size. Solution: Allow using line2byte() with the number of lines in the file plus one. This returns the offset of the line past the end of the file, which is the file size plus one. Files: src/eval.c, runtime/doc/eval.txt Patch 5.4.36 Problem: Comparing strings while ignoring case didn't work correctly for some machines. (Mide Steed) Solution: vim_stricmp() and vim_strnicmp() only returned 0 or 1. Changed them to return -1 when the first argument is smaller. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 5.4.37 (also see 5.4.40 and 5.4.43) Problem: Long strings from the viminfo file are truncated. Solution: When writing a long string to the viminfo file, first write a line with the length, then the string itself in a second line. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/mark.c, src/ops.c, src/search.c, src/proto/ex_cmds.pro, runtime/syntax/viminfo.vim Patch 5.4.38 Problem: In the option-window, ":set go&" resulted in 'go' being handled like a boolean option. Mappings for <Space> and <CR> were overruled by the option-window. Solution: When the value of an option isn't 0 or 1, don't handle it like a boolean option. Save and restore mappings for <Space> and <CR> when entering and leaving the option-window. Files: runtime/optwin.vim Patch 5.4.39 Problem: When setting a hidden option, spaces before the equal sign were not skipped and cause an error message. E.g., ":set csprg =cmd". Solution: When skipping over a hidden option, check for a following "=val" and skip it too. Files: src/option.c Patch 5.4.40 (depends on 5.4.37) Problem: Compiler error for "atol(p + 1)". (Axel Kielhorn) Solution: Add a typecast: "atol((char )p + 1)". Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 5.4.41 Problem: Some commands that were not included would give an error message, even when after "if 0". Solution: Don't give an error message for an unsupported command when not executing the command. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.4.42 Problem: ":w" would also cause a truncated message to appear in the message history. Solution: Don't put a kept message in the message history when it starts with "<". Files: src/message.c Patch 5.4.43 (depends on 5.4.37) Problem: Mixing long lines with multiple lines in a register causes errors when writing the viminfo file. (Robinson) Solution: When reading the viminfo file to skip register contents, skip lines that start with "<". Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.4.44 Problem: When 'whichwrap' includes '~', a "~" command that goes on to the next line cannot be properly undone. (Zellner) Solution: Save each line for undo in n_swapchar(). Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.4.45 (also see 5.4.x8) Problem: When expand("$ASDF") fails, there is an error message. Solution: Remove the global expand_interactively. Pass a flag down to skip the error message. Also: expand("$ASDF") returns an empty string if $ASDF isn't set. Previously it returned "$ASDF" when 'shell' is "sh". Also: system() doesn't print an error when the command returns an error code. Files: many Patch 5.4.46 Problem: Backspacing did not always use 'softtabstop' after hitting <CR>, inserting a register, moving the cursor, etc. Solution: Reset inserted_space much more often in edit(). Files: src/edit.c Patch 5.4.47 Problem: When executing BufWritePre or BufWritePost autocommands for a hidden buffer, the cursor could be moved to a non-existing position. (Vince Negri) Solution: Save and restore the cursor and topline for the current window when it is going to be used to execute autocommands for a hidden buffer. Use an existing window for the buffer when it's not hidden. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.4.48 Problem: A paste with the mouse in Insert mode was not repeated exactly the same with ".". For example, when 'autoindent' is set and pasting text with leading indent. (Perry) Solution: Add the CTRL-R CTRL-O r and CTRL-R CTRL-P r commands in Insert mode, which insert the contents of a register literally. Files: src/edit.c, src/normal.c, runtime/doc/insert.txt Patch 5.4.49 Problem: When pasting text with [ <MiddleMouse>, the cursor could end up after the last character of the line. Solution: Correct the cursor position for the change in indent. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.4.x1 (note: Replaces patch 5.4.9) Problem: Win32 GUI: menu hints were never used, because WANT_MENU is not defined until vim.h is included. Solution: Move the #ifdef WANT_MENU from where MENUHINTS is defined to where it is used. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4.x2 Problem: BeOS: When pasting text, one character was moved to the end. Solution: Re-enable the BeOS code in fill_input_buf(), and fix timing out with acquire_sem_etc(). (Will Day) Files: src/os_beos.c, src/ui.c Patch 5.4.x3 Problem: Win32 GUI: When dropping a directory on a running gvim it crashes. Solution: Avoid using a NULL file name. Also display a message to indicate that the current directory was changed. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4.x4 Problem: Win32 GUI: Removing an item from the popup menu doesn't work. Solution: Don't remove the item from the menubar, but from the parent popup menu. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4.x5 (addition to 5.4.34) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.4.x6 Problem: Win32: Expanding (dir)name starting with a dot doesn't work. (McCormack) Only when there is a path before it. Solution: Fix the check, done before expansion, if the file name pattern starts with a dot. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 5.4.x7 Problem: Win32 GUI: Removing "Edit with Vim" from registry is difficult. Solution: Add uninstall program to remove the registry keys. It is installed in the "Add/Remove programs" list for ease of use. Also: don't set $VIM when the executable is with the runtime files. Also: Add a text file with a step-by-step description of how to uninstall Vim for DOS and Windows. Files: src/uninstal.c, src/dosinst.c, src/Makefile.w32, uninstal.txt Patch 5.4.x8 (addition to 5.4.45) Files: many Patch 5.4.x9 Problem: Win32 GUI: After executing an external command, focus is not always regained (when using focus-follows-mouse). Solution: Add SetFocus() in mch_system(). (Mike Steed) Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 5.5a.1 Problem: ":let @ = @:" did not work. The text was not put on the I clipboard. (Fisher) Solution: Own the clipboard and put the text on it. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.5a.2 Problem: append() did not mark the buffer modified. Marks below the new line were not adjusted. Solution: Fix the f_append() function. Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.5a.3 Problem: Editing compressed ".gz" files doesn't work on non-Unix systems, because there is no "mv" command. Solution: Add the rename() function and use it instead of ":!mv". Also: Disable the automatic jump to the last position, because it changes the jumplist. Files: src/eval.c, runtime/doc/eval.txt, runtime/vimrc_example.vim Patch 5.5a.4 Problem: When using whole-line completion in insert mode while the cursor is in the indent, get "out of memory" error. (Stekrt) Solution: Don't allocate a negative amount of memory in ins_complete(). Files: src/edit.c Patch 5.5a.5 Problem: Win32: The 'path' option can hold only up to 256 characters, because _MAX_PATH is 256. (Robert Webb) Solution: Use a fixed path length of 1024. Files: src/os_win32.h Patch 5.5a.6 Problem: Compiling with gcc on Win32, using the Unix Makefile, didn't work. Solution: Add $(SUFFIX) to all places where an executable is used. Also pass it to ctags. (Reynolds) Files: src/Makefile Patch 5.5a.7 Problem: When using "cat \| vim -" in an xterm, the xterm version reply would end up in the file. Solution: Read the file from stdin before switching the terminal to RAW mode. Should also avoid problems with programs that use a specific terminal setting. Also: when using the GUI, print "Reading from stdin..." in the GUI window, to give a hint why it doesn't do anything. Files: src/main.c, src/fileio.c Patch 5.5a.8 Problem: On multi-threaded Solaris, suspending doesn't work. Solution: Call pause() when the SIGCONT signal was not received after sending the SIGTSTP signal. (Nagano) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 5.5a.9 Problem: 'winaltkeys' could be set to an empty argument, which is illegal. Solution: Give an error message when doing ":set winaltkeys=". Files: src/option.c Patch 5.5a.10 Problem: Win32 console: Using ALTGR on a German keyboard to produce "}" doesn't work, because the 8th bit is set when ALT is pressed. Solution: Don't set the 8th bit when ALT and CTRL are used. (Leipert) Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 5.5a.11 Problem: Tcl: Configure always uses tclsh8.0. Also: Loading a library doesn't work. Solution: Add "--with-tclsh" configure argument to allow specifying another name for the tcl shell. Call Tcl_Init() in tclinit() to make loading libraries work. (Johannes Zellner) Files: src/configure.in, src/configure, src/if_tcl.c Patch 5.5a.12 Problem: The "user_commands" feature is called "user-commands". Solution: Replace "user-commands" with "user_commands". (Kim Sung-bom) Keep "user-commands" for the has() function, to remain backwards compatible with 5.4. Files: src/eval.c, src/version.c Patch 5.5a.13 Problem: OS/2: When $HOME is not defined, "C:/" is used for the viminfo file. That is very wrong when OS/2 is on another partition. Solution: Use $VIM for the viminfo file when it is defined, like for MSDOS. Also: Makefile.os2 didn't depend on os_unix.h. Files: src/os_unix.h, src/Makefile.os2 Patch 5.5a.14 Problem: Athena, Motif and GTK: The Mouse scroll wheel doesn't work. Solution: Interpret a click of the wheel as a key press of the <MouseDown> or <MouseUp> keys. Default behavior is to scroll three lines, or a full page when Shift is used. Files: src/edit.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/gui.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_x11.c, src/keymap.h, src/message.c, src/misc1.c, src/misc2.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/normal.pro, src/vim.h, runtime/doc/scroll.txt Patch 5.5a.15 Problem: Using CTRL-A in Insert mode doesn't work correctly when the insert started with the <Insert> key. (Andreas Rohrschneider) Solution: Replace <Insert> with "i" before setting up the redo buffer. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.5a.16 Problem: VMS: GUI does not compile and run. Solution: Various fixes. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Moved functions from os_unix.c to ui.c, so that VMS can use them too: open_app_context(), x11_setup_atoms() and clip_x11* functions. Made xterm_dpy global, it's now used by ui.c and os_unix.c. Use gethostname() always, sys_hostname doesn't exist. Files: src/globals.h, src/gui_x11.c, src/os_vms.mms, src/os_unix.c, src/os_vms.c, src/ui.c, src/proto/os_unix.pro, src/proto/ui.pro Renamed AdjustCursorForMultiByteCharacter() to AdjustCursorForMultiByteChar() to avoid symbol length limit of 31 characters. (Steve P. Wall) Patch 5.5b.1 Problem: SASC complains about dead assignments and implicit type casts. Solution: Removed the dead assignments. Added explicit type casts. Files: src/buffer.c, src/edit.c, src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/fileio.c, src/getchar.c, src/memline.c, src/menu.c, src/misc1.c, src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/quickfix.c, src/screen.c Patch 5.5b.2 Problem: When using "CTRL-O O" in Insert mode, hit <Esc> and then "o" in another line truncates that line. (Devin Weaver) Solution: When using a command that starts Insert mode from CTRL-O, reset "restart_edit" first. This avoids that edit() is called with a mix of starting a new edit command and restarting a previous one. Files: src/normal.c ============================================================================== VERSION 5.6 version-5.6 Version 5.6 is a bug-fix version of 5.5. Changed changed-5.6 ------- Small changes to OleVim files. (Christian Schaller) Inserted "/*/" between patch numbers in src/version.c. This allows for one line of context, which some versions of patch need. Reordered the Syntax menu to avoid long submenus. Removed keyboard shortcuts for alphabetical items to avoid a clash with fixed items. Added added-5.6* ----- Included Exuberant Ctags version 3.4. (Darren Hiebert) OpenWithVim in Python. (Christian Schaller) Win32 GUI: gvimext.dll, for the context menu "Edit with Vim" entry. Avoids the reported problems with the MS Office taskbar. Now it's a Shell Extension. (Tianmiao Hu) New syntax files: abel Abel (John Cook) aml Arc Macro Language (Nikki Knuit) apachestyle Apache-style config file (Christian Hammers) cf Cold Fusion (Jeff Lanzarotta) ctrlh files with CTRL-H sequences (Bram Moolenaar) cupl CUPL (John Cook) cuplsim CUPL simulation (John Cook) erlang Erlang (Kresimir Marzic) gedcom Gedcom (Paul Johnson) icon Icon (Wendell Turner) ist MakeIndex style (Peter Meszaros) jsp Java Server Pages (Rafael Garcia-Suarez) rcslog Rcslog (Joe Karthauser) remind Remind (Davide Alberani) sqr Structured Query Report Writer (Paul Moore) tads TADS (Amir Karger) texinfo Texinfo (Sandor Kopanyi) xpm2 X Pixmap v2 (Steve Wall) The 'C' flag in 'cpoptions' can be used to switch off concatenation for sourced lines.

Fixed fixed-5.6 ----- Using this mapping in Select mode, terminated completion: ":vnoremap <C-N> <Esc>a<C-N>" (Benji Fisher) Ignore K_SELECT in ins_compl_prep(). VMS (Zoltan Arpadffy, David Elins): - ioctl() in pty.c caused trouble, #ifndef VMS added. - Cut & paste mismatch corrected. - Popup menu line crash corrected. (Patch 5.5.047) - Motif directories during open and save as corrected. - Handle full file names with version numbers. (Patch 5.5.046) - Directory handling (CD command etc.) - Corrected file name conversion VMS to Unix and v.v. - Recovery was not working. - Terminal and signal handling was outdated compared to os_unix.c. - Improved os_vms.txt. Configure used fprintf() instead of printf() to check for __DATE__ and __TIME__. (John Card II) BeOS: Adjust computing the char_height and char_ascent. Round them up separately, avoids redrawing artifacts. (Mike Steed) Fix a few multibyte problems in menu_name_skip(), set_reg_ic(), searchc() and findmatchlimit(). (Taro Muraoka) GTK GUI: - With GTK 1.2.5 and later the scrollbars were not redrawn correctly. - Adjusted the gtk_form_draw() function. - SNiFF connection didn't work. - 'mousefocus' was not working. (Dalecki) - Some keys were not working with modifiers: Shift-Tab, Ctrl-Space and CTRL-@. Patch 5.5.001 Problem: Configure in the top directory did not pass on an argument with a space correctly. For example "./configure --previs="/My home". (Stephane Chazelas) Solution: Use '"$@"' instead of '$' to pass on the arguments. Files: configure Patch 5.5.002 Problem: Compilation error for using "fds[] & POLLIN". (Jeff Walker) Solution: Use "fds[].revents & POLLIN". Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 5.5.003 Problem: The autoconf check for sizeof(int) is wrong on machines where sizeof(size_t) != sizeof(int). Solution: Use our own configure check. Also fixes the warning for cross-compiling. Files: src/configure.in, src/configure Patch 5.5.004 Problem: On Unix it's not possible to interrupt ":sleep 100". Solution: Switch terminal to cooked mode while asleep, to allow a SIGINT to wake us up. But switch off echo, added TMODE_SLEEP. Files: src/term.h, src/os_unix.c Patch 5.5.005 Problem: When using <f-args> with a user command, an empty argument to the command resulted in one empty string, while no string was expected. Solution: Catch an empty argument and pass no argument to the function. (Paul Moore) Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.5.006 Problem: Python: When platform-dependent files are in another directory than the platform-independent files it doesn't work. Solution: Also check the executable directory, and add it to CFLAGS. (Tessa Lau) Files: src/configure.in, src/configure Patch 5.5.007 (extra) Problem: Win32 OLE: Occasional crash when exiting while still being used via OLE. Solution: Move OleUninitialize() to before deleting the application object. (Vince Negri) Files: src/if_ole.cpp Patch 5.5.008 Problem: 10000@@ takes a long time and cannot be interrupted. Solution: Check for CTRL-C typed while in the loop to push the register. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.5.009 Problem: Recent Sequent machines don't link with "-linet". (Kurtis Rader) Solution: Remove configure check for Sequent. Files: src/configure.in, src/configure Patch 5.5.010 Problem: Ctags freed a memory block twice when exiting. When out of memory, a misleading error message was given. Solution: Update to ctags 3.3.2. Also fixes a few other problems. (Darren Hiebert) Files: src/ctags/ Patch 5.5.011 Problem: After "CTRL-V s", the cursor jumps back to the start, while all other operators leave the cursor on the last changed character. (Xiangjiang Ma) Solution: Position cursor on last changed character, if possible. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.5.012 Problem: Using CTRL-] in Visual mode doesn't work when the text includes a space (just where it's useful). (Stefan Bittner) Solution: Don't escape special characters in a tag name with a backslash. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.5.013 Problem: The ":append" and ":insert" commands allow using a leading backslash in a line. The ":source" command concatenates those lines. (Heinlein) Solution: Add the 'C' flag in 'cpoptions' to switch off concatenation. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/option.h, runtime/doc/options.txt, runtime/filetype.vim, runtime/scripts.vim Patch 5.5.014 Problem: When executing a register with ":@", the ":append" command would get text lines with a ':' prepended. (Heinlein) Solution: Remove the ':' characters. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/globals.h Patch 5.5.015 Problem: When using ":g/pat/p", it's hard to see where the output starts, the ":g" command is overwritten. Vi keeps the ":g" command. Solution: Keep the ":g" command, but allow overwriting it with the report for the number of changes. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 5.5.016 (extra) Problem: Win32: Using regedit to install Vim in the popup menu requires the user to confirm this in a dialog. Solution: Use "regedit /s" to avoid the dialog Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 5.5.017 Problem: If an error occurs when closing the current window, Vim could get stuck in the error handling. Solution: Don't set curwin to NULL when closing the current window. Files: src/window.c Patch 5.5.018 Problem: Absolute paths in shell scripts do not always work. Solution: Use /usr/bin/env to find out the path. Files: runtime/doc/vim2html.pl, runtime/tools/efm_filter.pl, runtime/tools/shtags.pl Patch 5.5.019 Problem: A function call in 'statusline' stops using ":q" twice from exiting, when the last argument hasn't been edited. Solution: Don't decrement quitmore when executing a function. (Madsen) Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.5.020 Problem: When the output of CTRL-D completion in the commandline goes all the way to the last column, there is an empty line. Solution: Don't add a newline when the cursor wrapped already. (Madsen) Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 5.5.021 Problem: When checking if a file name in the tags file is relative, environment variables were not expanded. Solution: Expand the file name before checking if it is relative. (Madsen) Files: src/tag.c Patch 5.5.022 Problem: When setting or resetting 'paste' the ruler wasn't updated. Solution: Update the status lines when 'ruler' changes because of 'paste'. Files: src/option.c Patch 5.5.023 Problem: When editing a new file and autocommands change the cursor position, the cursor was moved back to the first non-white, unless 'startofline' was reset. Solution: Keep the new column, just like the line number. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 5.5.024 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: When using confirm() to put up a dialog without a default button, the dialog would not have keyboard focus. (Krishna) Solution: Always set focus to the dialog window. Only set focus to a button when a default one is specified. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.5.025 Problem: When using "keepend" in a syntax region, a contained match that includes the end-of-line could still force that region to continue, if there is another contained match in between. Solution: Check the keepend_level in check_state_ends(). Files: src/syntax.c Patch 5.5.026 Problem: When starting Vim in a white-on-black xterm, with 'bg' set to "dark", and then starting the GUI with ":gui", setting 'bg' to "light" in the gvimrc, the highlighting isn't set. (Tsjokwing) Solution: Set the highlighting when 'bg' is changed in the gvimrc, even though full_screen isn't set. Files: src/option.c Patch 5.5.027 Problem: Unix: os_unix.c doesn't compile when XTERM_CLIP is used but WANT_TITLE isn't. (Barnum) Solution: Move a few functions that are used by the X11 title and clipboard and put another "#if" around it. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 5.5.028 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: When a file is dropped on Win32 gvim while at the ":" prompt, the file is edited but the command line is actually still there, the cursor goes back to command line on the next command. (Krishna) Solution: When dropping a file or directory on gvim while at the ":" prompt, insert the name of the file/directory. Allows using the file/directory name for any Ex command. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.5.029 Problem: "das" at the end of the file didn't delete the last character of the sentence. Solution: When there is no character after the sentence, make the operation inclusive in current_sent(). Files: src/search.c Patch 5.5.030 Problem: Unix: in os_unix.c, "term_str" is used, which is also defined in vim.h as a macro. (wuxin) Solution: Renamed "term_str" to "buf" in do_xterm_trace(). Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 5.5.031 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: When exiting Windows, gvim will leave swap files behind and will be killed ungracefully. (Krishna) Solution: Catch the WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages and try to exit gracefully. Allow the user to cancel the shutdown if there is a changed buffer. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.5.032 Problem: Patch 5.5.025 wasn't right. And C highlighting was still not working correctly for a #define. Solution: Added "excludenl" argument to ":syntax", to be able not to extend a containing item when there is a match with the end-of-line. Files: src/syntax.c, runtime/doc/syntax.txt, runtime/syntax/c.vim Patch 5.5.033 Problem: When reading from stdin, a long line in viminfo would mess up the file message. readfile() uses IObuff for keep_msg, which could be overwritten by anyone. Solution: Copy the message from IObuff to msg_buf and set keep_msg to that. Also change vim_fgets() to not use IObuff any longer. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.5.034 Problem: "gvim -rv" caused a crash. Using 't_Co' before it's set. Solution: Don't try to initialize the highlighting before it has been initialized from main(). Files: src/syntax.c Patch 5.5.035 Problem: GTK with XIM: Resizing with status area was messy, and ":set guioptions+=b" didn't work. Solution: Make status area a separate widget, but not a separate window. (Chi-Deok Hwang) Files: src/gui_gtk_f.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/multbyte.c Patch 5.5.036 Problem: The GZIP_read() function in $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim to uncompress a file did not do detection for 'fileformat'. This is because the filtering is done with 'binary' set. Solution: Split the filtering into separate write, filter and read commands. Files: runtime/vimrc_example.vim Patch 5.5.037 Problem: The "U" command didn't mark the buffer as changed. (McCormack) Solution: Set the 'modified' flag when using "U". Files: src/undo.c Patch 5.5.038 Problem: When typing a long ":" command, so that the screen scrolls up, causes the hit-enter prompt, even though the user just typed return to execute the command. Solution: Reset need_wait_return if (part of) the command was typed in getcmdline(). Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 5.5.039 Problem: When using a custom status line, "%a" (file # of #) reports the index of the current window for all windows. Solution: Pass a window pointer to append_arg_number(), and pass the window being updated from build_stl_str_hl(). (Stephen P. Wall) Files: src/buffer.c, src/screen.c, src/proto/buffer.pro Patch 5.5.040 Problem: Multi-byte: When there is some error in xim_real_init(), it can close XIM and return. After this there can be a segv. Solution: Test "xic" for being non-NULL, don't set "xim" to NULL. Also try to find more matches for supported styles. (Sung-Hyun Nam) Files: src/multbyte.c Patch 5.5.041 Problem: X11 GUI: CTRL-_ requires the SHIFT key only on some machines. Solution: Translate CTRL-- to CTRL-_. (Robert Webb) Files: src/gui_x11.c Patch 5.5.042 Problem: X11 GUI: keys with ALT were assumed to be used for the menu, even when the menu has been disabled by removing 'm' from 'guioptions'. Solution: Ignore keys with ALT only when gui.menu_is_active is set. (Raf) Files: src/gui_x11.c Patch 5.5.043 Problem: GTK: Handling of fontset fonts was not right when 'guifontset' contains exactly 14 times '-'. Solution: Avoid setting fonts when working with a fontset. (Sung-Hyun Nam) Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 5.5.044 Problem: pltags.pl contains an absolute path "/usr/local/bin/perl". That might not work everywhere. Solution: Use "/usr/bin/env perl" instead. Files: runtime/tools/pltags.pl Patch 5.5.045 Problem: Using "this_session" variable does not work, requires preceding it with "v:". Default filename for ":mksession" isn't mentioned in the docs. (Fisher) Solution: Support using "this_session" to be backwards compatible. Files: src/eval.c, runtime/doc/options.txt Patch 5.5.046 (extra) Problem: VMS: problems with path and filename. Solution: Truncate file name at last ';', etc. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: src/buffer.c, src/fileio.c, src/gui_motif.c, src/os_vms.c, src/proto/os_vms.pro Patch 5.5.047 Problem: VMS: Crash when using the popup menu Solution: Turn the #define MENU_MODE_CHARS into an array. (Arpadffy) Files: src/structs.h, src/menu.c Patch 5.5.048 Problem: HP-UX 11: Compiling doesn't work, because both string.h and strings.h are included. (Squassabia) Solution: The configure test for including both string.h and strings.h must include <Xm/Xm.h> first, because it causes problems. Files: src/configure.in, src/configure, src/config.h.in Patch 5.5.049 Problem: Unix: When installing Vim, the protection bits of files might be influenced by the umask. Solution: Add $(FILEMOD) to Makefile. (Shetye) Files: src/Makefile Patch 5.5.050 Problem: "z+" and "z^" commands are missing. Solution: Implemented "z+" and "z^". Files: src/normal.c, runtime/doc/scroll.txt, runtime/doc/index.txt Patch 5.5.051 Problem: Several Unix systems have a problem with the optimization limits check in configure. Solution: Removed the configure check, let the user add it manually in Makefile or the environment. Files: src/configure.in, src/configure, src/Makefile Patch 5.5.052 Problem: Crash when using a cursor key at the ATTENTION prompt. (Alberani) Solution: Ignore special keys at the console dialog. Also ignore characters > 255 for other uses of tolower() and toupper(). Files: src/menu.c, src/message.c, src/misc2.c Patch 5.5.053 Problem: Indenting is wrong after a function when 'cino' has "fs". Another problem when 'cino' has "{s". Solution: Put line after closing "}" of a function at the left margin. Apply ind_open_extra in the right way after a '{'. Files: src/misc1.c, src/testdir/test3.in, src/testdir/test3.ok Patch 5.5.054 Problem: Unix: ":e #" doesn't work if the alternate file name contains a space or backslash. (Hudacek) Solution: When replacing "#", "%" or other items that stand for a file name, prepend a backslash before special characters. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.5.055 Problem: Using "<C-V>$r-" in blockwise Visual mode replaces one character beyond the end of the line. (Zivkov) Solution: Only replace existing characters. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.5.056 Problem: After "z20<CR>" messages were printed at the old command line position once. (Veselinovic) Solution: Set msg_row and msg_col when changing cmdline_row in win_setheight(). Files: src/window.c Patch 5.5.057 Problem: After "S<Esc>" it should be possible to restore the line with "U". (Veselinovic) Solution: Don't call u_clearline() in op_delete() when changing only one line. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.5.058 Problem: Using a long search pattern and then "n" causes the hit-enter prompt. (Krishna) Solution: Truncate the echoed pattern, like other messages. Moved code for truncating from msg_attr() to msg_strtrunc(). Files: src/message.c, src/proto/message.pro, src/search.c Patch 5.5.059 Problem: GTK GUI: When $term is invalid, using "gvim" gives an error message, even though $term isn't really used. (Robbins) Solution: When the GUI is about to start, skip the error messages for a wrong $term. Files: src/term.c Patch 5.5.060 (extra) Problem: Dos 32 bit: When a directory in 'backupdir' doesn't exist, ":w" causes the file to be renamed to "axlqwqhy.ba~". (Matzdorf) Solution: The code to work around a LFN bug in Windows 95 doesn't handle a non-existing target name correctly. When renaming fails, make sure the file has its original name. Also do this for the Win32 version, although it's unlikely that it runs into this problem. Files: src/os_msdos.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 5.5.061 Problem: When using "\:" in a modeline, the backslash is included in the option value. (Mohsin) Solution: Remove one backslash before the ':' in a modeline. Files: src/buffer.c, runtime/doc/options.txt Patch 5.5.062 (extra) Problem: Win32 console: Temp files are created in the root of the current drive, which may be read-only. (Peterson) Solution: Use the same mechanism of the GUI version: Use $TMP, $TEMP or the current directory. Cleaned up vim_tempname() a bit. Files: src/fileio.c, src/os_win32.h, runtime/doc/os_dos.txt Patch 5.5.063 Problem: When using whole-line completion in Insert mode, 'cindent' is applied, even after changing the indent of the line. Solution: Don't reindent the completed line after inserting/removing indent. (Robert Webb) Files: src/edit.c Patch 5.5.064 Problem: has("sniff") doesn't work correctly. Solution: Return 1 when Vim was compiled with the +sniff feature. (Pruemmer) Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.5.065 Problem: When dropping a file on Vim, the 'shellslash' option is not effective. (Krishna) Solution: Fix the slashes in the dropped file names according to 'shellslash'. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, runtime/doc/options.txt Patch 5.5.066 Problem: For systems with backslash in file name: Setting a file name option to a value starting with "\\machine" removed a backslash. Solution: Keep the double backslash for "\\machine", but do change "\\\\machine" to "\\machine" for backwards compatibility. Files: src/option.c, runtime/doc/options.txt Patch 5.5.067 Problem: With 'hlsearch' set, the pattern "\>" doesn't highlight the first match in a line. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Fix highlighting an empty match. Also highlight the first character in an empty line for "$". Files: src/screen.c Patch 5.5.068 Problem: Crash when a ":while" is used with an argument that has an error. (Sylvain Viart) Solution: Was using an uninitialized index in the cs_line[] array. The crash only happened when the index was far off. Made sure the uninitialized index isn't used. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.5.069 Problem: Shifting lines in blockwise Visual mode didn't set the 'modified' flag. Solution: Do set the 'modified' flag. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.5.070 Problem: When editing a new file, creating that file outside of Vim, then editing it again, ":w" still warns for overwriting an existing file. (Nam) Solution: The BF_NEW flag in the "b_flags" field wasn't cleared properly. Files: src/buffer.c, src/fileio.c Patch 5.5.071 Problem: Using a matchgroup in a ":syn region", which is the same syntax group as the region, didn't stop a contained item from matching in the start pattern. Solution: Also push an item on the stack when the syntax ID of the matchgroup is the same as the syntax ID of the region. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 5.5.072 (extra) Problem: Dos 32 bit: When setting 'columns' to a too large value, Vim may crash, and the DOS console too. Solution: Check that the value of 'columns' isn't larger than the number of columns that the BIOS reports. Files: src/os_msdos.c, src/proto/os_msdos.pro, src/option.c Patch 5.5.073 (extra) Problem: Win 32 GUI: The Find and Find/Replace dialogs didn't show the "match case" checkbox. The Find/Replace dialog didn't handle the "match whole word" checkbox. Solution: Support the "match case" and "match whole word" checkboxes. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.6a.001 Problem: Using <C-End> with a count doesn't work like it does with "G". (Benji Fisher) Solution: Accept a count for <C-End> and <C-Home>. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.6a.002 Problem: The script for conversion to HTML was an older version. Solution: Add support for running 2html.vim on a color terminal. Files: runtime/syntax/2html.vim Patch 5.6a.003 Problem: Defining a function inside a function didn't give an error message. A missing ":endfunction" doesn't give an error message. Solution: Allow defining a function inside a function. Files: src/eval.c, runtime/doc/eval.txt Patch 5.6a.004 Problem: A missing ":endwhile" or ":endif" doesn't give an error message. (Johannes Zellner) Solution: Check for missing ":endwhile" and ":endif" in sourced files. Add missing ":endif" in file selection macros. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, runtime/macros/file_select.vim Patch 5.6a.005 Problem: 'hlsearch' was not listed alphabetically. The value of 'toolbar' was changed when 'compatible' is set. Solution: Moved entry of 'hlsearch' in options[] table down. Don't reset 'toolbar' option to the default value when 'compatible' is set. Files: src/option.c Patch 5.6a.006 Problem: Using a backwards range inside ":if 0" gave an error message. Solution: Don't complain about a range when it is not going to be used. (Stefan Roemer) Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.6a.007 Problem: ":let" didn't show internal Vim variables. (Ron Aaron) Solution: Do show ":v" variables for ":let" and ":let v:name". Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.6a.008 Problem: Selecting a syntax from the Syntax menu gives an error message. Solution: Replace "else if" in SetSyn() with "elseif". (Ronald Schild) Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 5.6a.009 Problem: When compiling with +extra_search but without +syntax, there is a compilation error in screen.c. (Axel Kielhorn) Solution: Adjust the #ifdef for declaring and initializing "line" in win_line(). Also solve compilation problem when +statusline is used without +eval. Another one when +cmdline_compl is used without +eval. Files: src/screen.c, src/misc2.c Patch 5.6a.010 Problem: In a function, ":startinsert!" does not append to the end of the line if a ":normal" command was used to move the cursor. (Fisher) Solution: Reset "w_set_curswant" to avoid that w_curswant is changed again. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.6a.011 (depends on 5.6a.004) Problem: A missing ":endif" or ":endwhile" in a function doesn't give an error message. Solution: Give that error message. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.6a.012 (depends on 5.6a.008) Problem: Some Syntax menu entries caused a hit-enter prompt. Solution: Call a function to make the command shorter. Also rename a few functions to avoid name clashes. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 5.6a.013 Problem: Command line completion works different when another completion was done earlier. (Johannes Zellner) Solution: Reset wim_index when starting a new completion. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 5.6a.014 Problem: Various warning messages when compiling and running lint with different combinations of features. Solution: Fix the warning messages. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/option.c, src/screen.c, src/search.c, src/syntax.c, src/feature.h, src/globals.h Patch 5.6a.015 Problem: The vimtutor command doesn't always know the value of $VIMRUNTIME. Solution: Let Vim expand $VIMRUNTIME, instead of the shell. Files: src/vimtutor Patch 5.6a.016 (extra) Problem: Mac: Window size is restricted when starting. Cannot drag the window all over the desktop. Solution: Get real screen size instead of assuming 640x400. Do not use a fixed number for the drag limits. (Axel Kielhorn) Files: src/gui_mac.c Patch 5.6a.017 Problem: The "Paste" entry in popup menu for Visual, Insert and Cmdline mode is in the wrong position. (Stol) Solution: Add priority numbers for all Paste menu entries. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 5.6a.018 Problem: GTK GUI: submenu priority doesn't work. Help dialog could be destroyed too soon. When closing a dialog window (e.g. the "ATTENTION" one), Vim would just hang. When GTK theme is changed, Vim doesn't adjust to the new colors. Argument for ":promptfind" isn't used. Solution: Fixed the mentioned problems. Made the dialogs look&feel nicer. Moved functions to avoid the need for a forward declaration. Fixed reentrancy of the file browser dialog. Added drag&drop support for GNOME. Init the text for the Find/replace dialog from the last used search string. Set "match whole word" toggle button correctly. Made repeat rate for drag outside of window depend on the distance from the window. (Marcin Dalecki) Made the drag in Visual mode actually work. Removed recursiveness protection from gui_mch_get_rgb(), it might cause more trouble than it solves. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/ui.c, src/proto/ui.pro, src/misc2.c Patch 5.6a.019 Problem: When trying to recover through NFS, which uses a large block size, Vim might think the swap file is empty, because mf_blocknr_max is zero. (Scott McDermott) Solution: When computing the number of blocks of the file in mf_open(), round up instead of down. Files: src/memfile.c Patch 5.6a.020 Problem: GUI GTK: Could not set display for gvim. Solution: Add "-display" and "--display" arguments. (Marcin Dalecki) Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 5.6a.021 Problem: Recovering still may not work when the block size of the device where the swap file is located is larger than 4096. Solution: Read block 0 with the minimal block size. Files: src/memline.c, src/memfile.c, src/vim.h Patch 5.6a.022 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: When an error in the vimrc causes a dialog to pop up (e.g., for an existing swap file), Vim crashes. (David Elins) Solution: Before showing a dialog, open the main window. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.6a.023 Problem: Using expand("%:gs??/?") causes a crash. (Ron Aaron) Solution: Check for running into the end of the string in do_string_sub(). Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.6a.024 Problem: Using an autocommand to delete a buffer when leaving it can cause a crash when jumping to a tag. (Franz Gorkotte) Solution: In do_tag(), store tagstacklen before jumping to another buffer. Check tagstackidx after jumping to another buffer. Add extra check in win_split() if tagname isn't NULL. Files: src/tag.c, src/window.c Patch 5.6a.025 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: The tables for toupper() and tolower() are initialized too late. (Mike Steed) Solution: Move the initialization to win32_init() and call it from main(). Files: src/main.c, src/os_w32.c, src/proto/os_w32.pro Patch 5.6a.026 Problem: When the SNiFF connection is open, shell commands hang. (Pruemmer) Solution: Skip a second wait() call if waitpid() already detected that the child has exited. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 5.6a.027 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: The "Edit with Vim" popup menu entry causes problems for the Office toolbar. Solution: Use a shell extension dll. (Tianmiao Hu) Added it to the install and uninstal programs, replaces the old "Edit with Vim" menu registry entries. Files: src/dosinst.c, src/uninstal.c, gvimext/, runtime/doc/gui_w32.txt Patch 5.6a.028 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: Dialogs and tear-off menus can't handle multibyte characters. Solution: Adjust nCopyAnsiToWideChar() to handle multibyte characters correctly. Files: src/gui_w32.c ============================================================================== VERSION 5.7 version-5.7* Version 5.7 is a bug-fix version of 5.6.

(Darren Hiebert) "display" and "fold" arguments for syntax items. For future extension, they are ignored now. strftime() function for the Macintosh. macros/explorer.vim: A file browser script (M A Aziz Ahmed) Fixed fixed-5.7 ----- The 16 bit MS-DOS version is now compiled with Bcc 3.1 instead of 4.0. The executable is smaller. When a "make test" failed, the output file was lost. Rename it to test99.failed to be able to see what went wrong. After sourcing bugreport.vim, it's not clear that bugreport.txt has been written in the current directory. Edit bugreport.txt to avoid that. Adding IME support when using Makefile.w32 didn't work. (Taro Muraoka) Win32 console: Mouse drags were passed on even when the mouse didn't move. Perl interface: In Buffers(), type of argument to SvPV() was int, should be STRLEN. (Tony Leneis) Problem with prototype for index() on AIX 4.3.0. Added check for _AIX43 in os_unix.h. (Jake Hamby) Mappings in mswin.vim could break when some commands are mapped. Add "nore" to most mappings to avoid re-mapping. modify_fname() made a copy of a file name for ":p" when it already was a full path name, which is a bit slow. Win32 with Borland C++ 5.5: Pass the path to the compiler on to xxd and ctags, to avoid depending on $PATH. Fixed "make clean". Many fixes to Macintosh specific parts: (mostly by Dany StAmant) - Only one Help menu. - No more crash when removing a menu item. - Support as External Editor for Codewarrior (still some little glitches). - Popup menu support. - Fixed crash when pasting after application switch. - Color from rgb.txt properly displayed. - 'isprint' default includes all chars above '~'. (Axel Kielhorn) - mac_expandpath() was leaking memory. - Add digraphs table. (Axel Kielhorn) - Multi-byte support: (Kenichi Asai) Switch keyscript when going in/out of Insert mode. Draw multibyte character correctly. Don't use mblen() but highest bit of char to detect multibyte char. Display value of multibyte in statusline (also for other systems). - mouse button was not initialized properly to MOUSE_LEFT when USE_CTRLCLICKMENU not defined. - With Japanese SJIS characters: Make "w", "b", and "e" work properly. (Kenichi Asai) - Replaced old CodeWarrior file os_mac.CW9.hqx with os_mac.cw5.sit.hqx. Fixes for VMS: (Zoltan Arpadffy) (also see patch 5.6.045 below) - Added Makefile_vms.mms and vimrc.vms to src/testdir to be able to run the tests. - Various fixes. - Set 'undolevels' to 1000 by default. - Made mch_settitle() equivalent to the one in os_unix.c. RiscOS: A few prototypes for os_riscos.c were outdated. Generate prototypes automatically. Previously released patches: Patch 5.6.001 Problem: When using "set bs=0 si cin", Inserting "#<BS>" or "}<BS>" which reduces the indent doesn't delete the "#" or "}". (Lorton) Solution: Adjust ai_col in ins_try_si(). Files: src/edit.c Patch 5.6.002 Problem: When using the vim.vim syntax file, a comment with all uppercase characters causes a hang. Solution: Adjust pattern for vimCommentTitle (Charles Campbell) Files: runtime/syntax/vim.vim Patch 5.6.003 Problem: GTK GUI: Loading a user defined toolbar bitmap gives a warning about the colormap. Probably because the window has not been opened yet. Solution: Use gdk_pixmap_colormap_create_from_xpm() to convert the xpm file. (Keith Radebaugh) Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 5.6.004 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI with IME: When setting 'guifont' to "", the font requester appears twice. Solution: In gui_mch_init_font() don't call get_logfont() but copy norm_logfont from fh. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.6.005 Problem: When 'winminheight' is zero, CTRL-W - with a big number causes a crash. (David Kotchan) Solution: Check for negative window height in win_setheight(). Files: src/window.c Patch 5.6.006 Problem: GTK GUI: Bold font cannot always be used. Memory is freed too early in gui_mch_init_font(). Solution: Move call to g_free() to after where sdup is used. (Artem Hodyush) Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 5.6.007 (extra) Problem: Win32 IME: Font is not changed when screen font is changed. And IME composition window does not trace the cursor. Solution: Initialize IME font. When cursor is moved, set IME composition window with ImeSetCompositionWindow(). Add call to ImmReleaseContext() in several places. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/proto/gui_w32.pro Patch 5.6.008 (extra) Problem: Win32: When two files exist with the same name but different case (through NFS or Samba), fixing the file name case could cause the wrong one to be edited. Solution: Prefer a perfect match above a match while ignoring case in fname_case(). (Flemming Madsen) Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 5.6.009 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: Garbage in Windows Explorer help line when selecting "Edit with Vim" popup menu entry. Solution: Only return the help line when called with the GCS_HELPTEXT flag. (Tianmiao Hu) Files: GvimExt/gvimext.cpp Patch 5.6.010 Problem: A file name which contains a TAB was not read correctly from the viminfo file and the ":ls" listing was not aligned properly. Solution: Parse the buffer list lines in the viminfo file from the end backwards. Count a Tab for two characters to align the ":ls" list. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 5.6.011 Problem: When 'columns' is huge (using a tiny font) and 'statusline' is used, Vim can crash. Solution: Limit maxlen to MAXPATHL in win_redr_custom(). (John Mullin) Files: src/screen.c Patch 5.6.012 Problem: When using "zsh" for /bin/sh, toolcheck may hang until "exit" is typed. (Kuratczyk) Solution: Add "-c exit" when checking for the shell version. Files: src/toolcheck Patch 5.6.013 Problem: Multibyte char in tooltip is broken. Solution: Consider multibyte char in replace_termcodes(). (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/term.c Patch 5.6.014 Problem: When cursor is at the end of line and the character under cursor is a multibyte character, "yl" doesn't yank 1 multibyte-char. (Takuhiro Nishioka) Solution: Recognize a multibyte-char at end-of-line correctly in oneright(). (Taro Muraoka) Also: make "+quickfix" in ":version" output appear alphabetically. Files: src/edit.c Patch 5.6.015 Problem: New xterm delete key sends <Esc>[3~ by default. Solution: Added <kDel> and <kIns> to make the set of keypad keys complete. Files: src/edit.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/keymap.h, src/misc1.c, src/misc2.c, src/normal.c, src/os_unix.c, src/term.c Patch 5.6.016 Problem: When deleting a search string from history from inside a mapping, another entry is deleted too. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Reset last_maptick when deleting the last entry of the search history. Also: Increment maptick when starting a mapping from typed characters to avoid a just added search string being overwritten or removed from history. Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/getchar.c Patch 5.6.017 Problem: ":s/e/\^M/" should replace an "e" with a CTRL-M, not split the line. (Calder) Solution: Replace the backslash with a CTRL-V internally. (Stephen P. Wall) Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 5.6.018 Problem: ":help [:digit:]" takes a long time to jump to the wrong place. Solution: Insert a backslash to avoid the special meaning of '[]'. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 5.6.019 Problem: "snd.c", "snd.java", etc. were recognized as "mail" filetype. Solution: Make pattern for mail filetype more strict. Files: runtime/filetype.vim Patch 5.6.020 (extra) Problem: The DJGPP version eats processor time (Walter Briscoe). Solution: Call __dpmi_yield() in the busy-wait loop. Files: src/os_msdos.c Patch 5.6.021 Problem: When 'selection' is "exclusive", a double mouse click in Insert mode doesn't select last char in line. (Lutz) Solution: Allow leaving the cursor on the NUL past the line in this case. Files: src/edit.c Patch 5.6.022 Problem: ":e \~<Tab>" expands to ":e ~\$ceelen", which doesn't work. Solution: Re-insert the backslash before the '~'. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 5.6.023 (extra) Problem: Various warnings for the Ming compiler. Solution: Changes to avoid the warnings. (Bill McCarthy) Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/os_w32exe.c, src/os_win32.c, src/syntax.c, src/vim.rc Patch 5.6.024 (extra) Problem: Win32 console: Entering CTRL-_ requires the shift key. (Kotchan) Solution: Specifically catch keycode 0xBD, like the GUI. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 5.6.025 Problem: GTK GUI: Starting the GUI could be interrupted by a SIGWINCH. (Nils Lohner) Solution: Repeat the read() call to get the gui_in_use value when interrupted by a signal. Files: src/gui.c Patch 5.6.026 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: Toolbar bitmaps are searched for in $VIMRUNTIME/bitmaps, while GTK looks in $VIM/bitmaps. (Keith Radebaugh) Solution: Use $VIM/bitmaps for both, because these are not part of the distribution but defined by the user. Files: src/gui_w32.c, runtime/doc/gui.txt Patch 5.6.027 Problem: TCL: Crash when using a Tcl script (reported for Win32). Solution: Call Tcl_FindExecutable() in main(). (Brent Fulgham) Files: src/main.c Patch 5.6.028 Problem: Xterm patch level 126 sends codes for mouse scroll wheel. Fully works with xterm patch level 131. Solution: Recognize the codes for button 4 (0x60) and button 5 (0x61). Files: src/term.c Patch 5.6.029 Problem: GTK GUI: Shortcut keys cannot be used for a dialog. (Johannes Zellner) Solution: Add support for shortcut keys. (Marcin Dalecki) Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 5.6.030 Problem: When closing a window and 'ea' is set, Vim can crash. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Set "curbuf" to a valid value in win_close(). Files: src/window.c Patch 5.6.031 Problem: Multi-byte: When a double-byte character ends in CSI, Vim waits for another character to be typed. Solution: Recognize the CSI as the second byte of a character and don't wait for another one. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/getchar.c Patch 5.6.032 Problem: Functions with an argument that is a line number don't all accept ".", "$", etc. (Ralf Arens) Solution: Add get_art_lnum() and use it for setline(), line2byte() and synID(). Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.6.033 Problem: Multi-byte: "f " sometimes skips to the second space. (Sung-Hyun Nam) Solution: Change logic in searchc() to skip trailing byte of a double-byte character. Also: Ask for second byte when searching for double-byte character. (Park Chong-Dae) Files: src/search.c Patch 5.6.034 (extra) Problem: Compiling with Borland C++ 5.5 fails on tolower() and toupper(). Solution: Use TO_LOWER() and TO_UPPER() instead. Also adjust the Makefile to make using bcc 5.5 easier. Files: src/edit.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/misc1.c, src/Makefile.bor Patch 5.6.035 Problem: Listing the"+comments" feature in the ":version" output depended on the wrong ID. (Stephen P. Wall) Solution: Change "CRYPTV" to "COMMENTS". Files: src/version.c Patch 5.6.036 Problem: GTK GUI: Copy/paste text doesn't work between gvim and Eterm. Solution: Support TEXT and COMPOUND_TEXT selection targets. (ChiDeok Hwang) Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 5.6.037 Problem: Multi-byte: Can't use "f" command with multibyte character in GUI. Solution: Enable XIM in Normal mode for the GUI. (Sung-Hyun Nam) Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/multbyte.c Patch 5.6.038 Problem: Multi-clicks in GUI are interpreted as a mouse wheel click. When 'ttymouse' is "xterm" a mouse click is interpreted as a mouse wheel click. Solution: Don't recognize the mouse wheel in check_termcode() in the GUI. Use 0x43 for a mouse drag in do_xterm_trace(), not 0x63. Files: src/term.c, src/os_unix.c Patch 5.6.039 Problem: Motif GUI under KDE: When trying to logout, Vim hangs up the system. (Hermann Rochholz) Solution: When handling the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF event, set the WM_COMMAND property of the window to let the session manager know we finished saving ourselves. Files: src/gui_x11.c Patch 5.6.040 Problem: When using ":s" command, matching the regexp is done twice. Solution: After copying the matched line, adjust the pointers instead of finding the match again. (Loic Grenie) Added vim_regnewptr(). Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/regexp.c, src/proto/regexp.pro Patch 5.6.041 Problem: GUI: Athena, Motif and GTK don't give more than 10 dialog buttons. Solution: Remove the limit on the number of buttons. Also support the 'v' flag in 'guioptions'. For GTK: Center the buttons. Files: src/gui_athena.c, src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_motif.c Patch 5.6.042 Problem: When doing "vim -u vimrc" and vimrc contains ":q", the cursor in the terminal can remain off. Solution: Call cursor_on() in mch_windexit(). Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 5.6.043 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: When selecting guifont with the dialog, 'guifont' doesn't include the bold or italic attributes. Solution: Append ":i" and/or ":b" to 'guifont' in gui_mch_init_font(). Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.6.044 (extra) Problem: MS-DOS and Windows: The line that dosinst.exe appends to autoexec.bat to set PATH is wrong when Vim is in a directory with an embedded space. Solution: Use double quotes for the value when there is an embedded space. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 5.6.045 (extra) (fixed version) Problem: VMS: Various small problems. Solution: Many small changes. (Zoltan Arpadffy) File name modifier ":h" keeps the path separator. File name modifier ":e" also removes version. Compile with MAX_FEAT by default. When checking for autocommands ignore version in file name. Be aware of file names being case insensitive. Added vt320 builtin termcap. Be prepared for an empty default_vim_dir. Files: runtime/gvimrc_example.vim, runtime/vimrc_example.vim, runtime/doc/os_vms.txt, src/eval.c, src/feature.h, src/fileio.c, src/gui_motif.c, src/gui_vms_conf.h, src/main.c, src/memline.c, src/misc1.c, src/option.c, src/os_vms_conf.h, src/os_vms.c, src/os_vms.h, src/os_vms.mms, src/tag.c, src/term.c, src/version.c Patch 5.6.046 Problem: Systems with backslash in file name: With 'shellslash' set, "vim /.c" only uses a slash for the first file name. (Har'El) Solution: Fix slashes in file name arguments after reading the vimrc file. Files: src/option.c Patch 5.6.047 Problem: $CPPFLAGS is not passed on to ctags configure. Solution: Add it. (Walter Briscoe) Files: src/config.mk.in, src/Makefile Patch 5.6.048 Problem: CTRL-R in Command-line mode is documented to insert text as typed, but inserts text literally. Solution: Make CTRL-R insert text as typed, use CTRL-R CTRL-R to insert literally. This is consistent with Insert mode. But characters that end Command-line mode are inserted literally. Files: runtime/doc/index.txt, runtime/doc/cmdline.txt, src/ex_getln.c, src/ops.c, src/proto/ops.pro Patch 5.6.049 Problem: Documentation for [!] after ":ijump" is wrong way around. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Fix the documentation. Also improve the code to check for a match after a / / comment. Files: runtime/doc/tagsearch.txt, src/search.c Patch 5.6.050 Problem: Replacing is wrong when replacing a single-byte char with double-byte char or the other way around. Solution: Shift the text after the character when it is replaced. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/normal.c, src/misc1.c Patch 5.6.051 Problem: ":tprev" and ":tnext" don't give an error message when trying to go before the first or beyond the last tag. (Robert Webb) Solution: Added error messages. Also: Delay a second when a file-read message is going to overwrite an error message, otherwise it won't be seen. Files: src/fileio.c, src/tag.c Patch 5.6.052 Problem: Multi-byte: When an Ex command has a '\|' or '"' as a second byte, it terminates the command. Solution: Skip second byte of multibyte char when checking for '\|' and '"'. (Asai Kenichi) Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.6.053 Problem: CTRL-] doesn't work on a tag that contains a '\|'. (Cesar Crusius) Solution: Escape '\|', '"' and '\' in tag names when using CTRL-] and also for command-line completion. Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/normal.c Patch 5.6.054 Problem: When using ":e" and ":e #" the cursor is put in the first column when 'startofline' is set. (Cordell) Solution: Use the last known column when 'startofline' is set. Also, use ECMD_LAST more often to simplify the code. Files: src/buffer.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/proto/buffer.pro Patch 5.6.055 Problem: When 'statusline' only contains a text without "%" and doesn't fit in the window, Vim crashes. (Ron Aaron) Solution: Don't use the pointer for the first item if there is no item. Files: src/screen.c Patch 5.6.056 (extra) Problem: MS-DOS: F11 and F12 don't work when 'bioskey' is set. Solution: Use enhanced keyboard functions. (Vince Negri) Detect presence of enhanced keyboard and set bioskey_read and bioskey_ready. Files: src/os_msdos.c Patch 5.6.057 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: Multi-byte characters are wrong in dialogs and tear-off menus. Solution: Use system font instead of a fixed font. (Matsumoto, Muraoka) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.6.058 Problem: When the 'a' flag is not in 'guioptions', non-Windows systems copy Visually selected text to the clipboard/selection on a yank or delete command anyway. On Windows it isn't done even when the 'a' flag is included. Solution: Respect the 'a' flag in 'guioptions' on all systems. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.6.059 (extra) Problem: When moving the cursor over italic text and the characters spill over to the cell on the right, that spill-over is deleted. Noticed in the Win32 GUI, can happen on other systems too. Solution: Redraw italic text starting from a blank, like this is already done for bold text. (Vince Negri) Files: src/gui.c, src/gui.h, src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.6.060 Problem: Some bold characters spill over to the cell on the left, that spill-over can remain sometimes. Solution: Redraw a character when the next character was bold and needs redrawing. (Robert Webb) Files: src/screen.c Patch 5.6.061 Problem: When xterm sends 8-bit controls, recognizing the version response doesn't work. When using CSI instead of <Esc>[ for the termcap color codes, using 16 colors doesn't work. (Neil Bird) Solution: Also accept CSI in place of <Esc>[ for the version string. Also check for CSI when handling colors 8-15 in term_color(). Use CSI for builtin xterm termcap entries when 'term' contains "8bit". Files: runtime/doc/term.txt, src/ex_cmds.c, src/option.c, src/term.c, src/os_unix.c, src/proto/option.pro, src/proto/term.pro Patch 5.6.062 Problem: The documentation says that setting 'smartindent' doesn't have an effect when 'cindent' is set, but it does make a difference for lines starting with "#". (Neil Bird) Solution: Really ignore 'smartindent' when 'cindent' is set. Files: src/misc1.c, src/ops.c Patch 5.6.063 Problem: Using "I" in Visual-block mode doesn't accept a count. (Johannes Zellner) Solution: Pass the count on to do_insert() and edit(). (Allan Kelly) Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/proto/ops.pro Patch 5.6.064 Problem: MS-DOS and Win32 console: Mouse doesn't work correctly after including patch 5.6.28. (Vince Negri) Solution: Don't check for mouse scroll wheel when the mouse code contains the number of clicks. Files: src/term.c Patch 5.6.065 Problem: After moving the cursor around in Insert mode, typing a space can still trigger an abbreviation. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Don't check for an abbreviation after moving around in Insert mode. Files: src/edit.c Patch 5.6.066 Problem: Still a few bold character spill-over remains after patch 60. Solution: Clear character just in front of blanking out rest of the line. (Robert Webb) Files: src/screen.c Patch 5.6.067 Problem: When a file name contains a NL, the viminfo file is corrupted. Solution: Use viminfo_writestring() to convert the NL to CTRL-V n. Also fix the Buffers menu and listing a menu name with a newline. Files: runtime/menu.vim, src/buffer.c, src/mark.c, src/menu.c Patch 5.6.068 Problem: Compiling the Perl interface doesn't work with Perl 5.6.0. (Bernhard Rosenkraenzer) Solution: Also check xs_apiversion for the version number when prepending defines for PL_. Files: src/Makefile Patch 5.6.069 Problem: "go" doesn't always end up at the right character when 'fileformat' is "dos". (Bruce DeVisser) Solution: Correct computations in ml_find_line_or_offset(). Files: src/memline. Patch 5.6.070 (depends on 5.6.068) Problem: Compiling the Perl interface doesn't work with Perl 5.6.0. (Bernhard Rosenkraenzer) Solution: Simpler check instead of the one from patch 68. Files: src/Makefile Patch 5.6.071 Problem: "A" in Visual block mode on a Tab positions the cursor one char to the right. (Michael Haumann) Solution: Correct the column computation in op_insert(). Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.6.072 Problem: When starting Vim with "vim +startinsert", it enters Insert mode only after typing the first command. (Andrew Pimlott) Solution: Insert a dummy command in the stuff buffer. Files: src/main.c Patch 5.6.073 (extra) (depends on 5.6.034) Problem: Win32 GUI: When compiled with Bcc 5.5 menus don't work. In dosinst.c toupper() and tolower() give an "internal compiler error" for Bcc 5.5. Solution: Define WINVER to 4 to avoid compiling for Windows 2000. (Dan Sharp) Also cleaned up compilation arguments. Use our own implementation of toupper() in dosinst.c. Use mytoupper() instead of tolower(). Files: src/Makefile.bor, src/dosinst.c Patch 5.6.074 (extra) Problem: Entering CSI directly doesn't always work, because it's recognized as the start of a special key. Mostly a problem with multibyte in the GUI. Solution: Use K_CSI for a typed CSI character. Use <CSI> for a normal CSI, <xCSI> for a CSI typed in the GUI. Files: runtime/doc/intro.txt, src/getchar.c, src/gui_amiga.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_mac.c, src/gui_riscos.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/keymap.h, src/misc2.c Patch 5.6.075 Problem: When using "I" or "A" in Visual block mode while 'sts' is set may change spaces to a Tab the inserted text is not correct. (Mike Steed) And some other problems when using "A" to append after the end of the line. Solution: Check for change in spaces/tabs after inserting the text. Append spaces to fill the gap between the end-of-line and the right edge of the block. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.6.076 Problem: GTK GUI: Mapping <M-Space> doesn't work. Solution: Don't use the "Alt" modifier twice in key_press_event(). Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 5.6.077 Problem: GUI: When interrupting an external program with CTRL-C, gvim might crash. (Benjamin Korvemaker) Solution: Avoid using a NULL pointer in ui_inchar_undo(). Files: src/ui.c Patch 5.6.078 Problem: Locale doesn't always work on FreeBSD. (David O'Brien) Solution: Link with the "xpg4" library when available. Files: src/configure.in, src/configure Patch 5.6.079 Problem: Vim could crash when several Tcl interpreters are created and destroyed. Solution: handle the "exit" command and nested ":tcl" commands better. (Ingo Wilken) Files: runtime/doc/if_tcl.txt, src/if_tcl.c Patch 5.6.080 Problem: When jumping to a tag, generating the tags file and jumping to the same tag again uses the old search pattern. (Sung-Hyun Nam) Solution: Flush cached tag matches when executing an external command. Files: src/misc2.c, src/proto/tag.pro, src/tag.c Patch 5.6.081 Problem: ":syn include" uses a level for the included file, this confuses contained items included at the same level. Solution: Use a unique tag for each included file. Changed sp_syn_inc_lvl to sp_syn_inc_tag. (Scott Bigham) Files: src/syntax.c, src/structs.h Patch 5.6.082 Problem: When using cscope, Vim can crash. Solution: Initialize tag_fname in find_tags(). (Anton Blanchard) Files: src/tag.c Patch 5.6.083 (extra) Problem: Win32: The visual beep can't be seen. (Eric Roesinger) Solution: Flush the output before waiting with GdiFlush(). (Maurice S. Barnum) Also: Allow specifying the delay in t_vb for the GUI. Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_amiga.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_mac.c, src/gui_riscos.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_x11.c, src/gui_beos.cc, src/proto/gui_amiga.pro, src/proto/gui_gtk_x11.pro, src/proto/gui_mac.pro, src/proto/gui_riscos.pro, src/proto/gui_w32.pro, src/proto/gui_x11.pro, src/proto/gui_beos.pro Patch 5.6.084 (depends on 5.6.074) Problem: GUI: Entering CSI doesn't always work for Athena and Motif. Solution: Handle typed CSI as <xCSI> (forgot this bit in 5.6.074). Files: src/gui_x11.c Patch 5.6.085 Problem: Multi-byte: Using "r" to replace a double-byte char with a single-byte char moved the cursor one character. (Matsumoto) Also, using a count when replacing a single-byte char with a double-byte char didn't work. Solution: Don't use del_char() to delete the second byte. Get "ptr" again after calling ins_char(). Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.6.086 (extra) Problem: Win32: When using libcall() and the returned value is not a valid pointer, Vim crashes. Solution: Use IsBadStringPtr() to check if the pointer is valid. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 5.6.087 Problem: Multi-byte: Commands and messages with multibyte characters are displayed wrong. Solution: Detect double-byte characters. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/message.c, src/misc2.c, src/screen.c Patch 5.6.088 Problem: Multi-byte with Motif or Athena: The message "XIM requires fontset" is annoying when Vim was compiled with XIM support but it is not being used. Solution: Remove that message. Files: src/multbyte.c Patch 5.6.089 Problem: On non-Unix systems it's possible to overwrite a read-only file without using "!". Solution: Check if the file permissions allow overwriting before moving the file to become the backup file. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.6.090 Problem: When editing a file in "/home/dir/home/dir" this was replaced with "~~". (Andreas Jellinghaus) Solution: Replace the home directory only once in home_replace(). Files: src/misc1.c Patch 5.6.091 Problem: When editing many "no file" files, can't create swap file, because .sw[a-p] have all been used. (Neil Bird) Solution: Also use ".sv[a-z]", ".su[a-z]", etc. Files: src/memline.c Patch 5.6.092 Problem: FreeBSD: When setting $TERM to a non-valid terminal name, Vim hangs in tputs(). Solution: After tgetent() returns an error code, call it again with the terminal name "dumb". This apparently creates an environment in which tputs() doesn't fail. Files: src/term.c Patch 5.6.093 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: "ls \| gvim -" will show a message box about reading stdin when Vim exits. (Donohue) Solution: Don't write a message about the file read from stdin until the GUI has started. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.6.094 Problem: Problem with multibyte string for ":echo var". Solution: Check for length in msg_outtrans_len_attr(). (Sung-Hyun Nam) Also make do_echo() aware of multibyte characters. Files: src/eval.c, src/message.c Patch 5.6.095 Problem: With an Emacs TAGS file that include another a relative path doesn't always work. Solution: Use expand_tag_fname() on the name of the included file. (Utz-Uwe Haus) Files: src/tag.c Patch 5.6.096 Problem: Unix: When editing many files, startup can be slow. (Paul Ackersviller) Solution: Halve the number of stat() calls used to add a file to the buffer list. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 5.7a.001 Problem: GTK doesn't respond on drag&drop from ROX-Filer. Solution: Add "text/uri-list" target. (Thomas Leonard) Also: fix problem with checking for trash arguments. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 5.7a.002 Problem: Multi-byte: 'showmatch' is performed when second byte of an inserted double-byte char is a paren or brace. Solution: Check IsTrailByte() before calling showmatch(). (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/misc1.c Patch 5.7a.003 Problem: Multi-byte: After using CTRL-O in Insert mode with the cursor at the end of the line on a multibyte character the cursor moves to the left. Solution: Check for multibyte character at end-of-line. (Taro Muraoka) Also: fix cls() to detect a double-byte character. (Chong-Dae Park) Files: src/edit.c, src/search.c Patch 5.7a.004 Problem: When reporting the search pattern offset, the string could be unterminated, which may cause a crash. Solution: Terminate the string for the search offset. (Stephen P. Wall) Files: src/search.c Patch 5.7a.005 Problem: When ":s//~/" doesn't find a match it reports "[NULL]" for the pattern. Solution: Use get_search_pat() to obtain the actually used pattern. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/proto/search.pro, src/search.c Patch 5.7a.006 (extra) Problem: VMS: Various problems, also with the VAXC compiler. Solution: In many places use the Unix code for VMS too. Added time, date and compiler version to version message. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/globals.h, src/gui_vms_conf.h, src/main.c, src/message.c, src/misc1.c, src/os_vms.c, src/os_vms.h, src/os_vms.mms, src/os_vms_conf.h, src/proto/os_vms.pro, src/proto/version.pro, src/term.c, src/version.c, src/xxd/os_vms.mms, src/xxd/xxd.c Patch 5.7a.007 Problem: Motif and Athena GUI: CTRL-@ is interpreted as CTRL-C. Solution: Only use "intr_char" when it has been set. Files: src/gui_x11.c Patch 5.7a.008 Problem: GTK GUI: When using CTRL-L the screen is redrawn twice, causing trouble for bold characters. Also happens when moving with the scrollbar. Best seen when 'writedelay' is non-zero. When starting the GUI with ":gui" the screen is redrawn once with the wrong colors. Solution: Only set the geometry hints when the window size really changed. This avoids setting it each time the scrollbar is forcefully redrawn. Don't redraw in expose_event() when gui.starting is still set. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c ============================================================================== VERSION 5.8 version-5.8 Version 5.8 is a bug-fix version of 5.7. Changed changed-5.8 ------- Ctags is no longer included with Vim. It has grown into a project of its own. You can find it here: http://ctags.sf.net.

Solution: Add the "default" argument to the ":highlight" command: Ignore the command if highlighting was already specified. Files: src/syntax.c Generate the Syntax menu with makemenu.vim, so that it doesn't have to be done when Vim is starting up. Reduces the startup time of the GUI. Fixed fixed-5.8 ----- Conversion of docs to HTML didn't convert "\|tag\|s" to a hyperlink. Fixed compiling under NeXT. (Jeroen C.M. Goudswaard) optwin.vim gave an error when used in Vi compatible mode ('cpo' contains 'C'). Tcl interpreter: "buffer" command didn't check for presence of an argument. (Dave Bodenstab) dosinst.c: Added checks for too long file name. Amiga: a file name starting with a colon was considered absolute but it isn't. Amiga: ":pwd" added a slash when in the root of a drive. Macintosh: Warnings for unused variables. (Bernhard Pruemmer) Unix: When catching a deadly signal, handle it in such a way that it's unlikely that Vim will hang. Call _exit() instead of exit() in case of a severe problem. Setting the window title from nothing to something didn't work after patch 29. Check for ownership of .exrc and .vimrc was done with stat(). Use lstat() as well for extra security. Win32 GUI: Printing a file with 'fileformat' "unix" didn't work. Set 'fileformat' to "dos" before writing the temp file. Unix: Could start waiting for a character when checking for a CTRL-C typed when an X event is received. Could not use Perl and Python at the same time on FreeBSD, because Perl used "-lc" and Python used the threaded C library. Win32: The Mingw compiler gave a few warning messages. When using "ZZ" and an autocommand for writing uses an abbreviation it didn't work. Don't stuff the ":x" command but execute it directly. (Mikael Berthe) VMS doesn't always have lstat(), added an #ifdef around it. Added a few corrections for the Macintosh. (Axel Kielhorn) Win32: GvimExt could not edit more than a few files at once, the length of the argument was fixed. Previously released patches for Vim 5.7: Patch 5.7.001 Problem: When the current buffer is crypted, and another modified buffer isn't, ":wall" will encrypt the other buffer. Solution: In buf_write() use "buf" instead of "curbuf" to check for the crypt key. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.7.002 Problem: When 'showmode' is set, using "CTRL-O :r file" waits three seconds before displaying the read text. (Wichert Akkerman) Solution: Set "keep_msg" to the file message so that the screen is redrawn before the three seconds wait for displaying the mode message. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.7.003 Problem: Searching for "[[:cntrl:]]" doesn't work. Solution: Exclude NUL from the matching characters, it terminates the list. Files: src/regexp.c Patch 5.7.004 Problem: GTK: When selecting a new font, Vim can crash. Solution: In gui_mch_init_font() unreference the old font, not the new one. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 5.7.005 Problem: Multibyte: Inserting a wrapped line corrupts kterm screen. Pasting TEXT/COMPOUND_TEXT into Vim does not work. On Motif no XIM status line is displayed even though it is available. Solution: Don't use xterm trick for wrapping lines for multibyte mode. Correct a missing "break", added TEXT/COMPOUND_TEXT selection request. Add XIMStatusArea fallback code. (Katsuhito Nagano) Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/multbyte.c, src/screen.c, src/ui.c Patch 5.7.006 Problem: GUI: redrawing the non-Visual selection is wrong when the window is unobscured. (Jean-Pierre Etienne) Solution: Redraw the selection properly and don't clear it. Added "len" argument to clip_may_redraw_selection(). Files: src/gui.c, src/ui.c, src/proto/ui.pro Patch 5.7.007 Problem: Python: Crash when using the current buffer twice. Solution: Increase the reference count for buffer and window objects. (Johannes Zellner) Files: src/if_python.c Patch 5.7.008 Problem: In Ex mode, backspacing over the first TAB doesn't work properly. (Wichert Akkerman) Solution: Switch the cursor on before printing the newline. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 5.7.009 (extra) Problem: Mac: Crash when using a long file. Solution: Don't redefine malloc() and free(), because it will break using realloc(). Files: src/os_mac.h Patch 5.7.010 Problem: When using CTRL-A on a very long number Vim can crash. (Michael Naumann) Solution: Truncate the length of the new number to avoid a buffer overflow. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.7.011 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI on NT 5 and Win98: Displaying Hebrew is reversed. Solution: Output each character separately, to avoid that Windows reverses the text for some fonts. (Ron Aaron) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 5.7.012 Problem: When using "-complete=buffer" for ":command" the user command fails. Solution: In a user command don't replace the buffer name with a count for the buffer number. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 5.7.013 Problem: "gD" didn't always find a match in the first line, depending on the column the search started at. Solution: Reset the column to zero before starting to search. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.7.014 Problem: Rot13 encoding was done on characters with accents, which is wrong. (Sven Gottwald) Solution: Only do rot13 encoding on ASCII characters. Files: src/ops.c Patch 5.7.016 Problem: When hitting 'n' for a ":s///c" command, the ignore-case flag was not restored, some matches were skipped. (Daniel Blaustein) Solution: Restore the reg_ic variable when 'n' was hit. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 5.7.017 Problem: When using a Vim script for Vim 6.0 with <SID> before a function name, it produces an error message even when inside an "if version >= 600". (Charles Campbell) Solution: Ignore errors in the function name when the function is not going to be defined. Files: src/eval.c Patch 5.7.018 Problem: When running "rvim" or "vim -Z" it was still possible to execute a shell command with system() and backtick-expansion. (Antonios A. Kavarnos) Solution: Disallow executing a shell command in get_cmd_output() and mch_expand_wildcards(). Files: src/misc1.c, src/os_unix.c Patch 5.7.019 Problem: Multibyte: In a substitute string, a multibyte character isn't skipped properly, can be a problem when the second byte is a backslash. Solution: Skip an extra byte for a double-byte character. (Muraoka Taro) Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 5.7.020 Problem: Compilation doesn't work on MacOS-X. Solution: Add a couple of #ifdefs. (Jamie Curmi) Files: src/regexp.c, src/ctags/general.h Patch 5.7.021 Problem: Vim sometimes produces a beep when started in an xterm. Only happens when compiled without mouse support. Solution: Requesting the xterm version results in a K_IGNORE. This wasn't handled when mouse support is disabled. Accept K_IGNORE always. Files: src/normal.c Patch 5.7.022 Problem: %v in 'statusline' is not displayed when it's equal to %c. Solution: Check if %V or %v is used and handle them differently. Files: src/screen.c Patch 5.7.023 Problem: Crash when a WinLeave autocommand deletes the buffer in the other window. Solution: Check that after executing the WinLeave autocommands there still is a window to be closed. Also update the test that was supposed to check for this problem. Files: src/window.c, testdir/test13.in, testdir/test13.ok Patch 5.7.024 Problem: Evaluating an expression for 'statusline' can have side effects. Solution: Evaluate the expression in a sandbox. Files: src/edit.c, src/eval.c, src/proto/eval.pro, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/globals.h, src/option.c, src/screen.c, src/undo.c Patch 5.7.025 (fixed) Problem: Creating a temp file has a race condition. Solution: Create a private directory to write the temp files in. Files: src/fileio.c, src/misc1.c, src/proto/misc1.pro, src/proto/fileio.pro, src/memline.c, src/os_unix.h Patch 5.7.026 (extra) Problem: Creating a temp file has a race condition. Solution: Create a private directory to write the temp files in. This is the extra part of patch 5.7.025. Files: src/os_msdos.h Patch 5.7.027 Problem: Starting to edit a file can cause a crash. For example when in Insert mode, using CTRL-O :help abbr<Tab> to scroll the screen and then <CR>, which edits a help file. (Robert Bogomip) Solution: Check if keep_msg is NULL before copying it. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 5.7.028 Problem: Creating a backup or swap file could fail in rare situations. Solution: Use O_EXCL for open(). Files: src/fileio.c, src/memfile.c Patch 5.7.029 Problem: Editing a file with an extremely long name crashed Vim. Solution: Check for length of the name when setting the window title. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 5.7.030 Problem: A ":make" or ":grep" command with a very long argument could cause a crash. Solution: Allocate the buffer for the shell command.

Check this list if you run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 5.x to 6.0 Cursor position in Visual mode curpos-visual ------------------------------ When going from one window to another window on the same buffer while in Visual mode, the cursor position of the other window is adjusted to keep the same Visual area. This can be used to set the start of the Visual area in one window and the end in another. In vim 5.x the cursor position of the other window would be used, which could be anywhere and was not very useful. Substitute command Vi compatible substitute-CR -------------------------------- The substitute string (the "to" part of the substitute command) has been made Vi compatible. Previously a CTRL-V had a special meaning and could be used to prevent a <CR> to insert a line break. This made it impossible to insert a CTRL-V before a line break. Now a backslash is used to prevent a <CR> to cause a line break. Since the number of backslashes is halved, it is still possible to insert a line break at the end of the line. This now works just like Vi, but it's not compatible with Vim versions before 6.0. When a ":s" command doesn't make any substitutions, it no longer sets the '[ and '] marks. This is not related to Vi, since it doesn't have these marks. Global option values introduced new-global-values ------------------------------- There are now global values for options which are local to a buffer or window. Previously the local options were copied from one buffer to another. When editing another file this could cause option values from a modeline to be used for the wrong file. Now the global values are used when entering a buffer that has not been used before. Also, when editing another buffer in a window, the local window options are reset to their global values. The ":set" command sets both the local and global values, this is still compatible. But a modeline only sets the local value, this is not backwards compatible. ":let &opt = val" now sets the local and global values, like ":set". New commands have been added to set the global or local value: :let &opt = val like ":set" :let &g:opt = val like ":setglobal" :let &l:opt = val like ":setlocal" 'fileencoding' changed fileencoding-changed ---------------------- 'fileencoding' was used in Vim 5.x to set the encoding used inside all of Vim. This was a bit strange, because it was local to a buffer and worked for all buffers. It could never be different between buffers, because it changed the way text in all buffers was interpreted. It is now used for the encoding of the file related to the buffer. If you still set 'fileencoding' it is likely to be overwritten by the detected encoding from 'fileencodings', thus it is "mostly harmless". The old FileEncoding autocommand now does the same as the new EncodingChanged event. Digraphs changed digraphs-changed ---------------- The default digraphs now correspond to RFC1345. This is very different from what was used in Vim 5.x. \|digraphs\| Filetype detection changed filetypedetect-changed -------------------------- The filetype detection previously was using the "filetype" autocommand group. This caused confusion with the FileType event name (case is ignored). The group is now called "filetypedetect". It still works, but if the "filetype" group is used the autocommands will not be removed by ":filetype off". The support for 'runtimepath' has made the "myfiletypefile" and "mysyntaxfile" mechanism obsolete. They are still used for backwards compatibility. The connection between the FileType event and setting the 'syntax' option was previously in the "syntax" autocommand group. That caused confusion with the Syntax event name. The group is now called "syntaxset". The distributed syntax files no longer contain "syntax clear". That makes it possible to include one in the other without tricks. The syntax is now cleared when the 'syntax' option is set (by an autocommand added from synload.vim). This makes the syntax cleared when the value of 'syntax' does not correspond to a syntax file. Previously the existing highlighting was kept. Unlisted buffers introduced new-unlisted-buffers --------------------------- There is now a difference between buffers which don't appear in the buffer list and buffers which are really not in the buffer list. Commands like ":ls", ":bnext", ":blast" and the Buffers menu will skip buffers not in the buffer list. \|unlisted-buffer\| The 'buflisted' option can be used to make a buffer appear in the buffer list or not. Several commands that previously added a buffer to the buffer list now create an unlisted buffer. This means that a ":bnext" and ":ball" will not find these files until they have actually been edited. For example, buffers used for the alternative file by ":write file" and ":read file". Other commands previously completely deleted a buffer and now only remove the buffer from the buffer list. Commands relying on a buffer not to be present might fail. For example, a ":bdelete" command in an autocommand that relied on something following to fail (was used in the automatic tests). \|:bwipeout\| can be used for the old meaning of ":bdelete". The BufDelete autocommand event is now triggered when a buffer is removed from the buffer list. The BufCreate event is only triggered when a buffer is created that is added to the buffer list, or when an existing buffer is added to the buffer list. BufAdd is a new name for BufCreate. The new BufNew event is for creating any buffer and BufWipeout for really deleting a buffer. When doing Insert mode completion, only buffers in the buffer list are scanned. Added the 'U' flag to 'complete' to do completion from unlisted buffers. Unlisted buffers are not stored in a viminfo file. CTRL-U in Command-line mode changed CTRL-U-changed ----------------------------------- Using CTRL-U when editing the command line cleared the whole line. Most shells only delete the characters before the cursor. Made it work like that. (Steve Wall) You can get the old behavior with CTRL-E CTRL-U: > :cnoremap <C-U> <C-E><C-U> Ctags gone ctags-gone ---------- Ctags is no longer part of the Vim distribution. It's now a grown-up program by itself, it deserves to be distributed separately. Ctags can be found here: http://ctags.sf.net/. Documentation reorganized documentation-6 ------------------------- The documentation has been reorganized, an item may not be where you found it in Vim 5.x. - The user manual was added, some items have been moved to it from the reference manual. - The quick reference is now in a separate file (so that it can be printed). The examples in the documentation were previously marked with a ">" in the first column. This made it difficult to copy/paste them. There is now a single ">" before the example and it ends at a "<" or a non-blank in the first column. This also looks better without highlighting. 'helpfile' is no longer used to find the help tags file. This allows a user to add its own help files (e.g., for plugins). Modeless selection and clipboard modeless-and-clipboard -------------------------------- The modeless selection is used to select text when Visual mode can't be used, for example when editing the command line or at the more prompt. In Vim 5.x the modeless selection was always used. On MS-Windows this caused the clipboard to be overwritten, with no way to avoid that. The modeless selection now obeys the 'a' and 'A' flags in 'guioptions' and "autoselect" and "autoselectml" in 'clipboard'. By default there is no automatic copy on MS-Windows. Use the \|c_CTRL-Y\| command to manually copy the selection. To get the old behavior back, do this: > :set clipboard^=autoselectml guioptions+=A Small incompatibilities incomp-small-6 ----------------------- 'backupdir', 'cdpath', 'directory', 'equalprg', 'errorfile', 'formatprg', 'grepprg', 'helpfile', 'makeef', 'makeprg', 'keywordprg', 'cscopeprg', 'viminfo' and 'runtimepath' can no longer be set from a modeline, for better security. Removed '_' from the 'breakat' default: It's commonly used in keywords. The default for 'mousehide' is on, because this works well for most people. The Amiga binary is now always compiled with "big" features. The "big" binary archive no longer exists. The items "[RO]", "[+]", "[help]", "[Preview]" and "[filetype]" in 'statusline' no longer have a leading space. Non-Unix systems: When expanding wildcards for the Vim arguments, don't use 'suffixes'. It now works as if the shell had expanded the arguments. The 'lisp', 'smartindent' and 'cindent' options are not switched off when 'paste' is set. The auto-indenting is disabled when 'paste' is set, but manual indenting with "=" still works. When formatting with "=" uses 'cindent' or 'indentexpr' indenting, and there is no change in indent, this is not counted as a change ('modified' isn't set and there is nothing to undo). Report 'modified' as changed when 'fileencoding' or 'fileformat' was set. Thus it reflects the possibility to abandon the buffer without losing changes. The "Save As" menu entry now edits the saved file. Most people expect it to work like this. A buffer for a directory is no longer added to the Buffers menu. Renamed <Return> to <Enter>, since that's what it's called on most keyboards. Thus it's now the hit-enter prompt instead of the hit-return prompt. Can map <Enter> just like <CR> or <Return>. The default for the 'viminfo' option is now '20,"50,h when 'compatible' isn't set. Most people will want to use it, including beginners, but it required setting the option, which isn't that easy. After using ":colder" the newer error lists are overwritten. This makes it possible to use ":grep" to browse in a tree-like way. Must use ":cnewer 99" to get the old behavior. The patterns in 'errorformat' would sometimes ignore case (MS-Windows) and sometimes not (Unix). Now case is always ignored. Add "\C" to the pattern to match case. The 16 bit MS-DOS version is now compiled without the +listcmds feature (buffer list manipulation commands). They are not often needed and this executable needs to be smaller. 'sessionoptions' now includes "curdir" by default. This means that restoring a session will result in the current directory being restored, instead of going to the directory where the session file is located. A session deleted all buffers, deleting all marks. Now keep the buffer list, it shouldn't hurt for some existing buffers to remain present. When the argument list is empty ":argdel " caused an error message. No longer put the search pattern from a tag jump in the history. Use "SpecialKey" highlighting for unprintable characters instead of "NonText". The idea is that unprintable text or any text that's displayed differently from the characters in the file is using "SpecialKey", and "NonText" is used for text that doesn't really exist in the file. Motif now uses the system default colors for the menu and scrollbar. Used to be grey. It's still possible to set the colors with ":highlight" commands and resources. Formatting text with "gq" breaks a paragraph at a non-empty blank line. Previously the line would be removed, which wasn't very useful. ":normal" does no longer hang when the argument ends in half a command. Previously Vim would wait for more characters to be typed, without updating the screen. Now it pretends an <Esc> was typed. Bitmaps for the toolbar are no longer searched for in "$VIM/bitmaps" but in the "bitmaps" directories in 'runtimepath'. Now use the Cmdline-mode menus for the hit-enter prompt instead of the Normal mode menus. This generally works better and allows using the "Copy" menu to produce CTRL-Y to copy the modeless selection. Moved the font selection from the Window to the Edit menu, together with the other settings. The default values for 'isfname' include more characters to make "gf" work better. Changed the license for the documentation to the Open Publication License. This seemed fair, considering the inclusion of parts of the Vim book, which is also published under the OPL. The downside is that we can't force someone who would sell copies of the manual to contribute to Uganda. After "ayy don't let ""yy or :let @" = val overwrite the "a register. Use the unnamed register instead. MSDOS: A pattern "." previously also matched a file name without a dot. This was inconsistent with other versions. In Insert mode, CTRL-O CTRL-\ CTRL-N {cmd} remains in Normal mode. Previously it would go back to Insert mode, thus confusing the meaning of CTRL-\ CTRL-N, which is supposed to take us to Normal mode (especially in ":amenu"). Allow using ":" commands after an operator. Could be used to implement a new movement command. Thus it no longer aborts a pending operator. For the Amiga the "-d {device}" argument was possible. When compiled with the diff feature, this no longer works. Use "-dev {device}" instead. \|-dev\| Made the default mappings for <S-Insert> in Insert mode insert the text literally, avoids that special characters like BS cause side effects. Using ":confirm" applied to the rest of the line. Now it applies only to the command right after it. Thus ":confirm if x \| edit \| endif" no longer works, use ":if x \| confirm edit \| endif". This was the original intention, that it worked differently was a bug. ============================================================================== NEW FEATURES new-6* Folding new-folding ------- Vim can now display a buffer with text folded. This allows overviewing the structure of a file quickly. It is also possible to yank, delete and put folded text, for example to move a function to another position. There is a whole bunch of new commands and options related to folding. See \|folding\|. Vertically split windows new-vertsplit ------------------------ Windows can also be split vertically. This makes it possible to have windows side by side. One nice use for this is to compare two similar files (see \|new-diff-mode\|). The 'scrollbind' option can be used to synchronize scrolling. A vertical split can be created with the commands: :vsplit or CTRL-W v or CTRL-W CTRL-V \|:vsplit\| :vnew \|:vnew\| :vertical {cmd} \|:vertical\| The last one is a modifier, which has a meaning for any command that splits a window. For example: > :vertical stag main Will vertically split the window and jump to the tag "main" in the new window. Moving from window to window horizontally can be done with the \|CTRL-W_h\| and \|CTRL-W_l\| commands. The \|CTRL-W_k\| and \|CTRL-W_j\| commands have been changed to jump to the window above or below the cursor position. The vertical and horizontal splits can be mixed as you like. Resizing windows is easy when using the mouse, just position the pointer on a status line or vertical separator and drag it. In the GUI a special mouse pointer shape indicates where you can drag a status or separator line. To resize vertically split windows use the \|CTRL-W_<\| and \|CTRL-W_>\| commands. To make a window the maximum width use the CTRL-W \| command \|CTRL-W_bar\|. To force a new window to use the full width or height of the Vim window, these two modifiers are available: :topleft {cmd} New window appears at the top with full width or at the left with full height. :botright {cmd} New window appears at the bottom with full width or at the right with full height. This can be combined with ":vertical" to force a vertical split: > :vert bot dsplit DEBUG This will open a window at the far right, occupying the full height of the Vim window, with the cursor on the first definition of "DEBUG". The help window is opened at the top, like ":topleft" was used, if the current window is fewer than 80 characters wide. A few options can be used to set the preferences for vertically split windows. They work similarly to their existing horizontal equivalents: horizontal vertical ~ 'splitbelow' 'splitright' 'winheight' 'winwidth' 'winminheight' 'winminwidth' It's possible to set 'winminwidth' to zero, so that temporarily unused windows hardly take up space without closing them. The new 'eadirection' option tells where 'equalalways' applies: :set eadirection=both both directions :set eadirection=ver equalize window heights :set eadirection=hor equalize windows widths This can be used to avoid changing window sizes when you want to keep them. Since windows can become quite narrow with vertical splits, text lines will often not fit. The 'sidescrolloff' has been added to keep some context left and right of the cursor. The 'listchars' option has been extended with the "precedes" item, to show a "<" for example, when there is text left off the screen. (Utz-Uwe Haus) "-O" command line argument: Like "-o" but split windows vertically. (Scott Urban) Added commands to move the current window to the very top (CTRL-W K), bottom (CTRL-W J), left (CTRL-W H) and right (CTRL-W L). In the new position the window uses the full width/height of the screen. When there is not enough room in the status line for both the file name and the ruler, use up to half the width for the ruler. Useful for narrow windows. Diff mode new-diff-mode --------- In diff mode Vim shows the differences between two, three or four files. Folding is used to hide the parts of the file that are equal. Highlighting is used to show deleted and changed lines. See \|diff-mode\|. An easy way to start in diff mode is to start Vim as "vimdiff file1 file2". Added the vimdiff manpage. In a running Vim the \|:diffsplit\| command starts diff mode for the current file and another file. The \|:diffpatch\| command starts diff mode using the current file and a patch file. The \|:diffthis\| command starts diff mode for the current window. Differences can be removed with the \|:diffget\| and \|:diffput\| commands. - The 'diff' option switches diff mode on in a window. - The \|:diffupdate\| command refreshes the diffs. - The 'diffopt' option changes how diffs are displayed. - The 'diffexpr' option can be set how a diff is to be created. - The 'patchexpr' option can be set how patch is applied to a file. - Added the "diff" folding method. When opening a window for diff-mode, set 'foldlevel' to zero and 'foldenable' on, to close the folds. - Added the DiffAdd, DiffChange, DiffDelete and DiffText highlight groups to specify the highlighting for differences. The defaults are ugly... - Unix: make a vimdiff symbolic link for "make install". - Removed the now obsolete "vimdiff.vim" script from the distribution. - Added the "[c" and "]c" commands to move to the next/previous change in diff mode. Easy Vim: click-and-type new-evim ------------------------ eVim stands for "Easy Vim". This is a separate program, but can also be started as "vim -y". This starts Vim with 'insertmode' set to allow click-and-type editing. The $VIMRUNTIME/evim.vim script is used to add mappings and set options to be able to do most things like Notepad. This is only for people who can't stand two modes. eView does the same but in readonly mode. In the GUI a CTRL-C now only interrupts when busy with something, not when waiting for a character. Allows using CTRL-C to copy text to the clipboard. User manual new-user-manual ----------- The user manual has been added. It is organised around editing tasks. It reads like a book, from start to end. It should allow beginners to start learning Vim. It helps everybody to learn using the most useful Vim features. It is much easier to read than the reference manual, but omits details. See \|user-manual\|. The user manual includes parts of the Vim book by Steve Oualline \|frombook\|. It is published under the OPL \|manual-copyright\|. When syntax highlighting is not enabled, the characters in the help file which mark examples ('>' and '<') and header lines ('~') are replaced with a space. When closing the help window, the window layout is restored from before opening it, if the window layout didn't change since then. When opening the help window, put it at the top of the Vim window if the current window is fewer than 80 characters and not full width. Flexible indenting new-indent-flex ------------------ Automatic indenting is now possible for any language. It works with a Vim script, which makes it very flexible to compute the indent. The ":filetype indent on" command enables using the provided indent scripts. This is explained in the user manual: \|30.3\|. The 'indentexpr' option is evaluated to get the indent for a line. The 'indentkeys' option tells when to trigger re-indenting. Normally these options are set from an indent script. Like Syntax files, indent scripts will be created and maintained by many people. Extended search patterns new-searchpat ------------------------ Added the possibility to match more than one line with a pattern. (partly by Loic Grenie) New items in a search pattern for multi-line matches: \n match end-of-line, also in [] \_[] match characters in range and end-of-line \_x match character class and end-of-line \_. match any character or end-of-line \_^ match start-of-line, can be used anywhere in the regexp \_$ match end-of-line, can be used anywhere in the regexp Various other new items in search patterns: \c ignore case for the whole pattern \C match case for the whole pattern \m magic on for the following \M magic off for the following \v make following characters "very magic" \V make following characters "very nomagic" \@! don't match atom before this. Example: "foo$bar$\@!" matches "foo " but not "foobar". \@= match atom, resulting in zero-width match Example: "foo$bar$\@=" matches "foo" in "foobar". \@<! don't match preceding atom before the current position \@<= match preceding atom before the current position \@> match preceding atom as a subexpression \& match only when branch before and after it match \%[] optionally match a list of atoms; "end\%[if]" matches "end", "endi" and "endif" \%(\) like , but without creating a back-reference; there can be any number of these, overcomes the limit of nine pairs \%^ match start-of-file (Chase Tingley) \%$ match end-of-file (Chase Tingley) \%# Match with the cursor position. (Chase Tingley) \? Just like "\=" but can't be used in a "?" command. \%23l match in line 23 \%<23l match before line 23 \%>23l match after line 23 \%23c, \%<23c, \%>23c match in/before/after column 23 \%23v, \%<23v, \%>23v match in/before/after virtual column 23 For syntax items: \z(...\) external reference match set (in region start pattern) \z1 - \z9 external reference match use (in region skip or end pattern) (Scott Bigham) \zs use position as start of match \ze use position as end of match Removed limit of matching only up to 32767 times with , \+, etc. Added support to match multibyte characters. (partly by Muraoka Taro) Made "\<" and "\>" work for UTF-8. (Muraoka Taro) UTF-8 support new-utf-8* ------------- Vim can now edit files in UTF-8 encoding. Up to 31 bit characters can be used, but only 16 bit characters are displayed. Up to two combining characters are supported, they overprint the preceding character. Double-wide characters are also supported. See \|UTF-8\|. UCS-2, UCS-4 and UTF-16 encodings are supported too, they are converted to UTF-8 internally. There is also support for editing Unicode files in a Latin1 environment. Other encodings are converted with iconv() or an external converter specified with 'charconvert'. Many new items for Multi-byte support: - Added 'encoding' option: specifies character encoding used inside Vim. It can be any 8-bit encoding, some double-byte encodings or Unicode. It is initialized from the environment when a supported value is found. - Added 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings': specify character coding in a file, similar to 'fileformat' and 'fileformats'. When 'encoding' is "utf-8" and 'fileencodings' is "utf-8,latin1" this will automatically switch to latin1 if a file does not contain valid UTF-8. - Added 'bomb' option and detection of a BOM at the start of a file. Can be used with "ucs-bom" in 'fileencodings' to automatically detect a Unicode file if it starts with a BOM. Especially useful on MS-Windows (NT and 2000), which uses ucs-2le files with a BOM (e.g., when exporting the registry). - Added the 'termencoding' option: Specifies the encoding used for the terminal. Useful to put Vim in utf-8 mode while in a non-Unicode locale: > :let &termencoding = &encoding :set encoding=utf-8 - When 'viminfo' contains the 'c' flag, the viminfo file is converted from the 'encoding' it was written with to the current 'encoding'. - Added ":scriptencoding" command: convert lines in a sourced script to 'encoding'. Useful for menu files. - Added 'guifontwide' to specify a font for double-wide characters. - Added Korean support for character class detection. Also fix cls() in search.c. (Chong-Dae Park) - Win32: Typing multibyte characters without IME. (Alexander Smishlajev) - Win32 with Mingw: compile with iconv library. (Ron Aaron) - Win32 with MSVC: dynamically load iconv.dll library. (Muraoka Taro) - Make it possible to build a version with multibyte and iconv support with Borland 5.5. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) - Added 'delcombine' option: Delete combining character separately. (Ron Aaron) - The "xfontset" feature isn't required for "xim". These are now two independent features. - XIM: enable XIM when typing a language character (Insert mode, Search pattern, "f" or "r" command). Disable XIM when typing a Normal mode command. - When the XIM is active, show "XIM" in the 'showmode' message. (Nam SungHyun) - Support "CursorIM" for XIM. (Nam SungHyun) - Added 'm' flag to 'formatoptions': When wrapping words, allow splitting at each multibyte character, not only at a space. - Made ":syntax keyword" work with multibyte characters. - Added support for Unicode upper/lowercase flipping and comparing. (based on patch by Raphael Finkel) Let "~" on multibyte characters that have a third case ("title case") switch between the three cases. (Raphael Finkel) Allow defining digraphs for multibyte characters. Added RFC1345 digraphs for Unicode. Most Normal mode commands that accept a character argument, like "r", "t" and "f" now accept a digraph. The 'D' flag in 'cpoptions' disables this to remain Vi compatible. Added Language mapping and 'keymap' to be able to type multibyte characters: - Added the ":lmap" command and friends: Define mappings that are used when typing characters in the language of the text. Also for "r", "t", etc. In Insert and Command-line mode CTRL-^ switches the use of the mappings on/off. CTRL-^ also toggles the use of an input method when no language mappings are present. Allows switching the IM back on halfway typing. - "<char-123>" argument to ":map", allows to specify the decimal, octal or hexadecimal value of a character. - Implemented the 'keymap' option: Load a keymap file. Uses ":lnoremap" to define mappings for the keymap. The new ":loadkeymap" command is used in the keymap file. - Added 'k' flag in 'statusline': Value of "b:keymap_name" or 'keymap' when it's being used. Uses "<lang>" when no keymap is loaded and ":lmap"s are active. Show this text in the default statusline too. - Added the 'iminsert' and 'imsearch' options: Specify use of langmap mappings and Input Method with an option. (Muraoka Taro) Added 'imcmdline' option: When set the input method is always enabled when starting to edit a command line. Useful for a XIM that uses dead keys to type accented characters. Added 'imactivatekey' option to better control XIM. (Muraoka Taro) - When typing a mapping that's not finished yet, display the last character under the cursor in Insert mode and Command-line mode. Looks good for dead characters. - Made the 'langmap' option recognize multibyte characters. But mapping only works for 8-bit characters. Helps when using UTF-8. - Use a different cursor for when ":lmap" mappings are active. Can specify two highlight groups for an item in 'guicursor'. By default "lCursor" and "Cursor" are equal, the user must set a color he likes. Use the cursor color for hangul input as well. (Sung-Hyun Nam) - Show "(lang)" for 'showmode' when language mapping is enabled. - UTF-8: Made "r" work with a ":lmap" that includes a composing character. Also works for "f", which now works to find a character that includes a composing character. Other multibyte character additions: - Support double-byte single-width characters for euc-jp: Characters starting with 0x8E. Added ScreenLines2[] to store the second byte. Multi-language support new-multi-lang ---------------------- The messages used in Vim can be translated. Several translations are available. This uses the gettext mechanism. It allows adding a translation without recompiling Vim. \|multi-lang\| (partly by Marcin Dalecki) The translation files are in the src/po directory. The src/po/README.txt file explains a few things about doing a translation. Menu translations are available as well. This uses the new \|:menutranslate\| command. The translations are found in the runtime directory "lang". This allows a user to add a translation. Added \|:language\| command to set the language (locale) for messages, time and character type. This allows switching languages in Vim without changing the locale outside of Vim. Made it possible to have vimtutor use different languages. (Eduardo Fernandez) Spanish (Eduardo Fernandez), Italian (Antonio Colombo), Japanese (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) and French (Adrien Beau) translations are included. Added "vimtutor.bat": script to start Vim on a copy of the tutor file for MS-Windows. (Dan Sharp) - Added v:lang variable to be able to get current language setting. (Marcin Dalecki) Also v:lc_time and v:ctype. - Make it possible to translate the dialogs used by the menus. Uses global "menutrans_" variables. ":menutrans clear" deletes them. - removed "broken locale" (Marcin Dalecki). - Don't use color names in icons, use RGB values. The names could be translated. - Win32: Added global IME support (Muraoka) - Win32: Added dynamic loading of IME support. - ":messages" prints a message about who maintains the messages or the translations. Useful to find out where to make a remark about a wrong translation. - --disable-nls argument for configure: Disable use of gettext(). (Sung-Hyun Nam) - Added NLS support for Win32 with the MingW compiler. (Eduardo Fernandez) - When available, call bind_textdomain_codeset() to have gettext() translate messages to 'encoding'. This requires GNU gettext 0.10.36 or later. - Added gettext support for Win32. This means messages will be translated when the locale is set and libintl.dll can be found. (Muraoka Taro) Also made it work with MingW compiler. (Eduardo Fernandez) Detect the language and set $LANG to get the appropriate translated messages (if supported). Also use $LANG to select a language, v:lang is a very different kind of name. - Made gvimext.dll use translated messages, if possible. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Plugin support new-plugins -------------- To make it really easy to load a Vim script when starting Vim, the "plugin" runtime directory can be used. All ".vim" files in it will be automatically loaded. For Unix, the directory "~/.vim/plugin" is used by default. The 'runtimepath' option can be set to look in other directories for plugins. \|load-plugins\| \|add-plugin\| The \|:runtime\| command has been added to load one or more files in 'runtimepath'. Standard plugins: netrw.vim - Edit files over a network \|new-network-files\| gzip.vim - Edit compressed files explorer.vim - Browse directories \|new-file-browser\| Added support for local help files. \|add-local-help\|. When searching for help tags, all "doc/tags" files in 'runtimepath' are used. Added the ":helptags" command: Generate a tags file for a help directory. The first line of each help file is automagically added to the "LOCAL ADDITIONS" section in doc/help.txt. Added the <unique> argument to ":map": only add a mapping when it wasn't defined before. When displaying an option value with 'verbose' set will give a message about where the option was last set. Very useful to find out which script did set the value. The new \|:scriptnames\| command displays a list of all scripts that have been sourced. GUI: For Athena, Motif and GTK look for a toolbar bitmap in the "bitmaps" directories in 'runtimepath'. Allows adding your own bitmaps. Filetype plugins new-filetype-plugins* ----------------- A new group of files has been added to do settings for specific file types. These can be options and mappings which are specifically used for one value of 'filetype'. The files are located in "$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin". The 'runtimepath' option makes it possible to use several sets of plugins: Your own, system-wide, included in the Vim distribution, etc. To be able to make this work, several features were added: - Added the "s:" variables, local to a script. Avoids name conflicts with global variables. They can be used in the script and in functions, autocommands and user commands defined in the script. They are kept between invocations of the same script. \|s:var\| - Added the global value for local options. This value is used when opening a new buffer or editing another file. The option value specified in a modeline or filetype setting is not carried over to another buffer. ":set" sets both the local and the global value. ":setlocal" sets the local option value only. ":setglobal" sets or displays the global value for a local option. ":setlocal name<" sets a local option to its global value. - Added the buffer-local value for some global options: 'equalprg', 'makeprg', 'errorformat', 'grepprg', 'path', 'dictionary', 'thesaurus', 'tags', 'include' and 'define'. This allows setting a local value for these global options, without making it incompatible. - Added mappings and abbreviations local to a buffer: ":map <buffer>". - In a mapping "<Leader>" can be used to get the value of the "mapleader" variable. This simplifies mappings that use "mapleader". "<Leader>" defaults to "\". "<LocalLeader>" does the same with "maplocalleader". This is to be used for mappings local to a buffer. - Added <SID> Script ID to define functions and mappings local to a script. - Added <script> argument to ":noremap" and ":noremenu": Only remap script-local mappings. Avoids that mappings from other scripts get in the way, but does allow using mappings defined in the script. - User commands can be local to a buffer: ":command -buffer". The new ":setfiletype" command is used in the filetype detection autocommands, to avoid that 'filetype' is set twice. File browser new-file-browser ------------ When editing a directory, the explorer plugin will list the files in the directory. Pressing <Enter> on a file name edits that file. Pressing <Enter> on a directory moves the browser to that directory. There are several other possibilities, such as opening a file in the preview window, renaming files and deleting files. Editing files over a network new-network-files ---------------------------- Files starting with scp://, rcp://, ftp:// and http:// are recognized as remote files. An attempt is made to access these files with the indicated method. For http:// only reading is possible, for the others writing is also supported. Uses the netrw.vim script as a standard "plugin". \|netrw\| Made "gf" work on a URL. It no longer assumes the file is local on the computer (mostly didn't work anyway, because the full path was required). Adjusted test2 for this. Allow using a URL in 'path'. Makes ":find index.html" work. GTK: Allow dropping a http:// and ftp:// URL on Vim. The netrw plugin takes care of downloading the file. (Mikael Berthe) Window for command-line editing new-cmdwin ------------------------------- The Command-line window can be used to edit a command-line with Normal and Insert mode commands. When it is opened it contains the history. This allows copying parts of previous command lines. \|cmdwin\| The command-line window can be opened from the command-line with the key specified by the 'cedit' option (like Nvi). It can also be opened directly from Normal mode with "q:", "q/" and "q?". The 'cmdwinheight' is used to specify the initial height of the window. In Insert mode CTRL-X CTRL-V can be used to complete an Ex command line, like it's done on the command-line. This is also useful for writing Vim scripts! Additionally, there is "improved Ex mode". Entered when Vim is started as "exim" or "vim -E", and with the "gQ" command. Works like repeated use of ":", with full command-line editing and completion. (Ulf Carlsson) Debugging mode new-debug-mode -------------- In debugging mode sourced scripts and user functions can be executed line by line. There are commands to step over a command or step into it. \|debug-mode\| Breakpoints can be set to run until a certain line in a script or user function is executed. \|:breakadd\| Debugging can be started with ":debug {cmd}" to debug what happens when a command executes. The \|-D\| argument can be used to debug while starting up. Cursor in virtual position new-virtedit -------------------------- Added the 'virtualedit' option: Allow positioning the cursor where there is no actual character in Insert mode, Visual mode or always. (Matthias Kramm) This is especially useful in Visual-block mode. It allows positioning a corner of the area where there is no text character. (Many improvements by Chase Tingley) Debugger interface new-debug-itf ------------------ This was originally made to work with Sun Visual Workshop. (Gordon Prieur) See \|debugger.txt\|, \|sign.txt\| and \|workshop.txt\|. Added the ":sign" command to define and place signs. They can be displayed with two ASCII characters or an icon. The line after it can be highlighted. Useful to display breakpoints and the current PC position. Added the :wsverb command to execute debugger commands. Added balloon stuff: 'balloondelay' and 'ballooneval' options. Added "icon=" argument for ":menu". Allows defining a specific icon for a ToolBar item. Communication between Vims new-vim-server -------------------------- Added communication between two Vims. Makes it possible to send commands from one Vim to another. Works for X-Windows and MS-Windows \|clientserver\|. Use "--remote" to have files be edited in an already running Vim. Use "--remote-wait" to do the same and wait for the editing to finish. Use "--remote-send" to send commands from one Vim to another. Use "--remote-expr" to have an expression evaluated in another Vim. Use "--serverlist" to list the currently available Vim servers. (X only) There are also functions to communicate between the server and the client. \|remote_send()\| \|remote_expr()\| (X-windows version implemented by Flemming Madsen, MS-Windows version by Paul Moore) Added the command server name to the window title, so you can see which server name belongs to which Vim. Removed the OleVim directory and SendToVim.exe and EditWithVim.exe from the distribution. Can now use "gvim --remote" and "gvim --remote-send", which is portable. GTK+: Support running Vim inside another window. Uses the --socketid argument (Neil Bird) Buffer type options new-buftype ------------------- The 'buftype' and 'bufhidden' options have been added. They can be set to have different kinds of buffers. For example: - 'buftype' = "quickfix": buffer with error list - 'buftype' = "nofile" and 'bufhidden' = "delete": scratch buffer that will be deleted as soon as there is no window displaying it. 'bufhidden' can be used to overrule the 'hidden' option for one buffer. In combination with 'buflisted' and 'swapfile' this offers the possibility to use various kinds of special buffers. See \|special-buffers\|. Printing new-printing -------- Included first implementation of the ":hardcopy" command for printing to paper. For MS-Windows any installed printer can be used. For other systems a PostScript file is generated, which can be printed with the 'printexpr' option. (MS-Windows part by Vince Negri, Vipin Aravind, PostScript by Vince Negri and Mike Williams) Made ":hardcopy" work with multibyte characters. (Muraoka Taro, Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Added options to tune the way printing works: (Vince Negri) - 'printoptions' defines various things. - 'printheader' specifies the header format. Added "N" field to 'statusline' for the page number. - 'printfont' specifies the font name and attributes. - 'printdevice' defines the default printer for ":hardcopy!". Ports ports-6 ----- Port to OS/390 Unix (Ralf Schandl) - A lot of changes to handle EBCDIC encoding. - Changed Ctrl('x') to Ctrl_x define. Included jsbmouse support. (Darren Garth) Support for dec mouse in Unix. (Steve Wall) Port to 16-bit MS Windows (Windows 3.1x) (Vince Negri) Port to QNX. Supports the Photon GUI, mouse, etc. (Julian Kinraid) Allow cross-compiling the Win32 version with Make_ming.mak. (Ron Aaron) Added Python support for compiling with Mingw. (Ron Aaron) Dos 32 bit: Added support the Windows clipboard. (David Kotchan) Win32: Dynamically load Perl and Python. Allows compiling Vim with these interfaces and will try to find the DLLs at runtime. (Muraoka Taro) Compiling the Win32 GUI with Cygwin. Also compile vimrun, dosinst and uninstall. (Gerfried) Mac: Make Vim compile with the free MPW compiler supplied by Apple. And updates for CodeWarrior. (Axel Kielhorn) Added typecasts and ifdefs as a start to make Vim work on Win64 (George Reilly) Quickfix extended quickfix-6 ----------------- Added the "error window". It contains all the errors of the current error list. Pressing <Enter> in a line makes Vim jump to that line (in another window). This makes it easy to navigate through the error list. \|quickfix-window\|. - \|:copen\| opens the quickfix window. - \|:cclose\| closes the quickfix window. - \|:cwindow\| takes care that there is a quickfix window only when there are recognized errors. (Dan Sharp) - Quickfix also knows "info", next to "warning" and "error" types. "%I" can be used for the start of a multi-line informational message. (Tony Leneis) - The "%p" argument can be used in 'errorformat' to get the column number from a line where "^" points to the column. (Stefan Roemer) - When using "%f" in 'errorformat' on a DOS/Windows system, also include "c:" in the filename, even when using "%f:". Operator modifiers new-operator-mod ------------------ Insert "v", "V" or CTRL-V between an operator and a motion command to force the operator to work characterwise, linewise or blockwise. \|o_v\| Search Path new-search-path ----------- Vim can search in a directory tree not only in downwards but also upwards. Works for the 'path', 'cdpath' and 'tags' options. (Ralf Schandl) Also use "*" for 'tags' option. (Ralf Schandl) Added 'includeexpr', can be used to modify file name found by 'include' option. Also use 'includeexpr' for "gf" and "<cfile>" when the file can't be found without modification. Useful for doing "gf" on the name after an include or import statement. Added the 'cdpath' option: Locations to find a ":cd" argument. (Raf) Added the 'suffixesadd' option: Suffixes to be added to a file name when searching for a file for the "gf", "[I", etc. commands. Writing files improved new-file-writing* ---------------------- Added the 'backupcopy' option: Select whether a file is to be copied or renamed to make a backup file. Useful on Unix to speed up writing an ordinary file. Useful on other systems to preserve file attributes and when editing a file on a Unix filesystem. Added the 'autowriteall' option. Works like 'autowrite' but for more commands. Added the 'backupskip' option: A list of file patterns to skip making a backup file when it matches. The default for Unix includes "/tmp/", this makes "crontab -e" work. Added support for Access Control Lists (ACL) for FreeBSD and Win32. The ACL is copied from the original file to the new file (or the backup if it's copied). ACL is also supported for AIX, Solaris and generic POSIX. (Tomas Ogren) And on SGI. Argument list new-argument-list* ------------- The support for the argument list has been extended. It can now be manipulated to contain the files you want it to contain. The argument list can now be local to a window. It is created with the \|:arglocal\| command. The \|:argglobal\| command can be used to go back to the global argument list. The \|:argdo\| command executes a command on all files in the argument list. File names can be added to the argument list with \|:argadd\|. File names can be removed with \|:argdelete\|. "##" can be used like "#", it is replaced by all the names in the argument list concatenated. Useful for ":grep foo ##". The \|:argedit\| adds a file to the argument list and edits it. Like ":argadd" and then ":edit". Restore a View new-View -------------- The ":mkview" command writes a Vim script with the settings and mappings for one window. When the created file is sourced, the view of the window is restored. It's like ":mksession" for one window. The View also contains the local argument list and manually created, opened and closed folds. Added the ":loadview" command and the 'viewdir' option: Allows for saving and restoring views of a file with simple commands. ":mkview 1" saves view 1 for the current file, ":loadview 1" loads it again. Also allows quickly switching between two views on one file. And saving and restoring manual folds and the folding state. Added 'viewoptions' to specify how ":mkview" works. ":mksession" now also works fine with vertical splits. It has been further improved and restores the view of each window. It also works properly with preview and quickfix windows. 'sessionoptions' is used for ":mkview" as well. Added "curdir" and "sesdir" to 'sessionoptions'. Allows selection of what the current directory will be restored to. The session file now also contains the argument list(s). Color schemes new-color-schemes ------------- Support for loading a color scheme. Added the ":colorscheme" command. Automatically add menu entries for available schemes. Should now properly reset the colors when 'background' or 't_Co' is changed. ":highlight clear" sets the default colors again. ":syntax reset" sets the syntax highlight colors back to the defaults. For ":set bg&" guess the value. This allows a color scheme to switch back to the default colors. When syntax highlighting is switched on and a color scheme was defined, reload the color scheme to define the colors. Various new items new-items-6 ----------------- Normal mode commands: ~ "gi" Jump to the ^ mark and start Insert mode. Also works when the mark is just after the line. \|gi\| "g'm" and "g`m" Jump to a mark without changing the jumplist. Now you can use g`" to jump to the last known position in a file without side effects. Also useful in mappings. [', [`, ]' and ]` move the cursor to the next/previous lowercase mark. g_ Go to last non-blank in line. (Steve Wall) Options: ~ 'autoread' When detected that a file changed outside of Vim, automatically read a buffer again when it's not changed. It has a global and a local value. Use ":setlocal autoread<" to go back to using the global value for 'autoread'. 'debug' When set to "msg" it will print error messages that would otherwise be omitted. Useful for debugging 'indentexpr' and 'foldexpr'. 'lispwords' List of words used for lisp indenting. It was previously hard coded. Added a number of Lisp names to the default. 'fold...' Many new options for folding. 'modifiable' When off, it is impossible to make changes to a buffer. The %m and %M items in 'statusline' show a '-'. 'previewwindow' Set in the preview window. Used in a session file to mark a window as the preview window. 'printfont' 'printexpr' 'printheader' 'printdevice' 'printoptions' for ":hardcopy". 'buflisted' Makes a buffer appear in the buffer list or not. Use "vim{version}:" for modelines, only to be executed when the version is >= {version}. Also "vim>{version}", "vim<{version}" and "vim={version}". Ex commands: ~ :sav[eas][!] {file} Works like ":w file" and ":e #", but without loading the file again and avoiding other side effects. \|:saveas\| :silent[!] {cmd} Execute a command silently. Also don't use a delay that would come after the message. And don't do 'showmatch'. RISCOS: Removed that "!~cmd" didn't output anything, and didn't wait for <Enter> afterwards. Can use ":silent !cmd" now. :menu <silent> Add a menu that won't echo Ex commands. :map <silent> Add a mapping that won't echo Ex commands. :checktime Check for changed buffers. :verbose {cmd} Set 'verbose' for one command. :echomsg {expr} :echoerr {expr} Like ":echo" but store the message in the history. (Mark Waggoner) :grepadd Works just like ":grep" but adds to the current error list instead of defining a new list. \|:grepadd\| :finish Finish sourcing a file. Can be used to skip the rest of a Vim script. \|:finish\| :leftabove :aboveleft Split left/above current window. :rightbelow :belowright Split right/below current window. :first, :bfirst, :ptfirst, etc. Alias for ":rewind". It's more logical compared to ":last". :enew Edit a new, unnamed buffer. This is needed, because ":edit" re-edits the same file. (Wall) :quitall Same as ":qall". :match Define match highlighting local to a window. Allows highlighting an item in the current window without interfering with syntax highlighting. :menu enable :menu disable Commands to enable/disable menu entries without removing them. (Monish Shah) :windo Execute a command in all windows. :bufdo Execute a command in all buffers. :wincmd Window (CTRL-W) command. Useful when a Normal mode command can't be used (e.g., for a CursorHold autocommand). See \|CursorHold-example\| for a nice application with it. :lcd and :lchdir Set local directory for a window. (Benjie Chen) :hide {command} Execute {command} with 'hidden' set. :emenu in Visual mode to execute a ":vmenu" entry. :popup Pop up a popup menu. :redraw Redraw the screen even when busy with a script or function. :hardcopy Print to paper. :compiler Load a Vim script to do settings for a specific compiler. :z# List numbered lines. (Bohdan Vlasyuk) New marks: ~ '( and ') Begin or end of current sentence. Useful in Ex commands. '{ and '} Begin or end of current paragraph. Useful in Ex commands. '. Position of the last change in the current buffer. '^ Position where Insert mode was stopped. Store the ^ and . marks in the viminfo file. Makes it possible to jump to the last insert position or changed text. New functions: ~ argidx() Current index in argument list. buflisted() Checks if the buffer exists and has 'buflisted' set. cindent() Get indent according to 'cindent'. eventhandler() Returns 1 when inside an event handler and interactive commands can't be used. executable() Checks if a program or batch script can be executed. filewritable() Checks if a file can be written. (Ron Aaron) foldclosed() Find out if there is a closed fold. (Johannes Zellner). foldclosedend() Find the end of a closed fold. foldlevel() Find out the foldlevel. (Johannes Zellner) foreground() Move the GUI window to the foreground. getchar() Get one character from the user. Can be used to define a mapping that takes an argument. getcharmod() Get last used key modifier. getbufvar() gets the value of an option or local variable in a buffer (Ron Aaron) getfsize() Return the size of a file. getwinvar() gets the value of an option or local variable in a window (Ron Aaron) globpath() Find matching files in a list of directories. hasmapto() Detect if a mapping to a string is already present. iconv() Convert a string from one encoding to another. indent() gets the indent of a line (Ron Aaron) inputdialog() Like input() but use a GUI dialog when possible. Currently only works for Win32, Motif, Athena and GTK. Use inputdialog() for the Edit/Settings/Text Width menu. Also for the Help/Find.. and Toolbar FindHelp items. (Win32 support by Thore B. Karlsen) (Win16 support by Vince Negri) inputsecret() Ask the user to type a string without showing the typed keys. (Charles Campbell) libcall() for Unix (Neil Bird, Johannes Zellner, Stephen Wall) libcallnr() for Win32 and Unix lispindent() Get indent according to 'lisp'. mode() Return a string that indicates the current mode. nextnonblank() Skip blank lines forwards. prevnonblank() Skip blank lines backwards. Useful to for indent scripts. resolve() MS-Windows: resolve a shortcut to the file it points to. Unix: resolve a symbolic link. search() Search for a pattern. searchpair() Search for matching pair. Can be used in indent files to find the "if" matching an endif. setbufvar() sets an option or variable local to a buffer (Ron Aaron) setwinvar() sets an option or variable local to a window (Ron Aaron) stridx() Search for first occurrence of one string in another. strridx() Search for last occurrence of one string in another. tolower() Convert string to all-lowercase. toupper() Convert string to all-uppercase. type() Check the type of an expression. wincol() window column of the cursor winwidth() Width of a window. (Johannes Zellner) winline() window line of the cursor Added expansion of curly braces in variable and function names. This can be used for variable names that include the value of an option. Or a primitive form of arrays. (Vince Negri) New autocommand events: ~ BufWinEnter Triggered when a buffer is displayed in a window, after using the modelines. Can be used to load a view. BufWinLeave Triggered when a buffer is no longer in a window. Also triggered when exiting Vim. Can be used to save views. FileChangedRO Triggered before making the first change to a read-only file. Can be used to check-out the file. (Scott Graham) TermResponse Triggered when the terminal replies to the version-request. The v:termresponse internal variable holds the result. Can be used to react to the version of the terminal. (Ronald Schild) FileReadCmd Triggered before reading a file. BufReadCmd Triggered before reading a file into a buffer. FileWriteCmd Triggered before writing a file. BufWriteCmd Triggered before writing a buffer into a file. FileAppendCmd Triggered before appending to a file. FuncUndefined Triggered when a user function is not defined. (Ron Aaron) The autocommands for the Cmd events read or write the file instead of normal file read/write.

Interface to Ruby. (Shugo Maeda) Support dynamic loading of the Ruby interface on MS-Windows. (Muraoka Taro) Support this for Mingw too. (Benoit Cerrina) Win32: Added possibility to load TCL dynamically. (Muraoka Taro) Also for Borland 5.5. (Dan Sharp) Win32: When editing a file that is a shortcut (.lnk file), edit the file it links to. Unless 'binary' is set, then edit the shortcut file itself. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) The ":command" command now accepts a "-bar" argument. This allows the user command to be followed by "\| command". The preview window is now also used by these commands: - \|:pedit\| edits the specified file in the preview window - \|:psearch\| searches for a word in included files, like \|:ijump\|, and displays the found text in the preview window. Added the CTRL-W P command: go to preview window. MS-DOS and MS-Windows also read the system-wide vimrc file $VIM/vimrc. Mostly for NT systems with multiple users. A double-click of the mouse on a character that has a "%" match selects from that character to the match. Similar to "v%". "-S session.vim" argument: Source a script file when starting up. Convenient way to start Vim with a session file. Added "--cmd {command}" Vim argument to execute a command before a vimrc file is loaded. (Vince Negri) Added the "-M" Vim argument: reset 'modifiable' and 'write', thus disallow making changes and writing files. Added runtime/delmenu.vim. Source this to remove all menus and prepare for loading new menus. Useful when changing 'langmenu'. Perl script to filter Perl error messages to quickfix usable format. (Joerg Ziefle) Added runtime/macros/less.vim: Vim script to simulate less, but with syntax highlighting. MS-Windows install program: (Jon Merz) - The Win32 program can now create shortcuts on the desktop and install Vim in the Start menu. - Possibly remove old "Edit with Vim" entries. - The Vim executable is never moved or $PATH changed. A small batch file is created in a directory in $PATH. Fewer choices to be made. - Detect already installed Vim versions and offer to uninstall them first. Improved the MS-Windows uninstal program. It now also deletes the entries in the Start menu, icons from the desktop and the created batch files. (Jon Merz) Also made it possible to delete only some of these. Also unregister gvim for OLE. Generate a self-installing Vim package for MS-Windows. This uses NSIS. (Jon Merz et al.) Added ":filetype detect". Try detecting the filetype again. Helps when writing a new shell script, after adding "#!/bin/csh". Added ":augroup! name" to delete an autocommand group. Needed for the client-server "--remote-wait". Add the Vim version number to the viminfo file, useful for debugging. ============================================================================== IMPROVEMENTS improvements-6* Added the 'n' flag in 'cpoptions': When omitted text of wrapped lines is not put between line numbers from 'number' option. Makes it a lot easier to read wrapped lines. When there is a format error in a tags file, the byte position is reported so that the error can be located. "gf" works in Visual mode: Use the selected text as the file name. (Chase Tingley) Allow ambiguous mappings. Thus "aa" and "aaa" can both be mapped, the longest matching one is used. Especially useful for ":lmap" and 'keymap'. Encryption: Ask the key to be typed twice when crypting the first time. Otherwise a typo might cause the text to be lost forever. (Chase Tingley) The window title now has "VIM" on the end. The file name comes first, useful in the taskbar. A "+" is added when the file is modified. "=" is added for a read-only file. "-" is added for a file with 'modifiable' off. In Visual mode, mention the size of the selected area in the 'showcmd' position. Added the "b:changedtick" variable. Incremented at each change, also for undo. Can be used to take action only if the buffer has been changed. In the replacement string of a ":s" command "\=" can be used to replace with the result of an expression. From this expression the submatch() function can be used to access submatches. When doing ":qall" and there is a change in a buffer that is being edited in another window, jump to that window, instead of editing that buffer in the current window. Added the "++enc=" and "++ff=" arguments to file read/write commands to force using the given 'encoding' or 'fileformat'. And added the "v:cmdarg" variable, to be used for FileReadCmd autocommands that read/write the file themselves. When reading stdin, first read the text in binary mode and then re-read it with automatic selection of 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding'. This avoids problems with not being able to rewind the file (e.g., when a line near the end of the file ends in LF instead of CR-LF). When reading text from stdin and the buffer is empty, don't mark it changed. Allows exiting without trouble. Added an ID to many error messages. This will make it easier to find help for a message. Insert mode: - "CTRL-G j" and "CTRL-G k" can be used to insert in another line in the same column. Useful for editing a table. - Added Thesaurus completion with CTRL-X CTRL-T. (Vince Negri) - Added the 'thesaurus' option, to use instead of 'dictionary' for thesaurus completion. Added the 's' flag in 'complete'. - Made CTRL-X CTRL-L in Insert mode use the 'complete' option. It now also scans other loaded buffers for matching lines. - CTRL-R now also works in Insert mode while doing completion with CTRL-X or CTRL-N. (Neil Bird) - When doing Insert mode completion, when completion is finished check for a match with words from 'cinkeys' or 'indentkeys'. Performance: - Made display updating more efficient. Insert/delete lines may be used for all changes, also for undo/redo. - The display is not redrawn when there is typeahead in Insert mode. Speeds up CTRL-R a lot. - Improved speed of screen output for 32 bit DOS version. (Vince Negri) - When dragging with the mouse, there is a lookahead to skip mouse codes when there is another one next. Makes dragging with the mouse a lot faster. - Also a memory usage improvement: When calling u_save with a single line, don't save it if the line was recently saved for the same undo already. - When using a script that appends one character at a time, the amount of allocated memory was growing steadily. Also when 'undolevels' is -1. Caused by the line saved for "U" never to be freed. Now free an undo block when it becomes empty. - GUI and Dos32: Use a vertical scroll region, to make scrolling in a vertically split window faster. No need to redraw the whole window. - When scrolling isn't possible with terminal codes (e.g., for a vertically split window) redraw from ScreenLines[]. That should be faster than going through the lines with win_line(), especially when using syntax highlighting. - The Syntax menu is now pre-generated by a separate script. Makes loading the menu 70% faster. This can halve the startup time of gvim. - When doing ":help tag", don't open help.txt first, jump directly to the help tag. It's faster and avoids an extra message. - Win32: When a file name doesn't end in ".lnk" don't try resolving a shortcut, it takes quite a bit of time. - Don't update the mouse pointer shape while there are typeahead characters. - Change META[] from a string into an array, avoids using strchr() on it. - Don't clear the command line when adding characters, avoids that screen_fill is called but doesn't do anything. Robustness: - Unix: Check for running out of stack space when executing a regexp. Avoids a nasty crash. Only works when the system supports running the signal function on another stack. - Disallow ":source <dirname>". On unix it's possible to read a directory, does not make sense to use it as Vim commands. Security: - When reading from or writing to a temporary file, check that it isn't a symbolic link. Gives some protection against symlink attacks. - When creating a backup file copy or a swap file, check for it already existing to avoid a symlink attack. (Colin Phipps) - Evaluating options which are an expression is done in a \|sandbox\|. If the option was set by a modeline, it cannot cause damage. - Use a secure way to generate temp file names: Create a private directory for temp files. Used for Unix, MS-DOS and OS/2. - 'makeef' can be empty, which means that an internally generated file name is used. The old default was "/tmp/file", which is a security risk. Writing 'makeef' in the current directory fails in a read-only directory and causes trouble when using ":grep" on all files. Made the default empty for all systems, so that a temp file is used. - The command from a tags file is executed in the sandbox for better security. - The Ruby, Tcl and Python interfaces cannot be used from the sandbox. They might do dangerous things. Perl is still possible, but limited to the Safe environment. (Donnie Smith) Syntax highlighting: - Optimized the speed by caching the state stack all over the file, not just the part being displayed. Required for folding. - Added ":syntax sync fromstart": Always parse from the start of the file. - Added the "display" argument for syntax items: use the item only when displaying the result. Can make parsing faster for text that isn't going to be displayed. - When using CTRL-L, the cached states are deleted, to force parsing the text again. - Use elfhash algorithm for table of keywords. This should give a better distribution and speedup keyword lookup. (Campbell) - Also allow the "lc" leading context for skip and end patterns. (Scott Bigham) - Syntax items can have the "extend" argument to undo the effect of a "keepend" argument of an item it is contained in. Makes it possible to have some contained items extend a region while others don't. - ":syntax clear" now deletes the b:current_syntax variable. That's logical, since no syntax is defined after this command. - Added ":syntax enable": switch on syntax highlighting without changing the colors. This allows specifying the colors in the .vimrc file without the need for a mysyntaxfile. - Added ":syntax reset": reset the colors to their defaults. - Added the "contains=TOP" and "contains=CONTAINED" arguments. Makes it possible to define a transparent item that doesn't contain itself. - Added a "containedin" argument to syntax items. Allows adding a contained item to an existing item (e.g., to highlight a name in a comment). Modeless selection: - When in the command-line window, use modeless selection in the other windows. Makes it possible to copy visible text to the command-line window. - Support modeless selection on the cmdline in a terminal. Previously it was only possible for the GUI. - Make double-right-click in modeless selection select a whole word. Single right click doesn't use the word selection started by a double-left-click. Makes it work like in Visual mode. - The modeless selection no longer has an implied automatic copy to the clipboard. It now obeys the 'a' and 'A' flags in 'guioptions' or "autoselect" and "autoselectml" in 'clipboard'. - Added the CTRL-Y command in Cmdline-mode to copy the modeless selection to the clipboard. Also works at the hit-enter prompt and the more prompt. Removed the mappings in runtime/mswin.vim for CTRL-Y and CTRL-Z in cmdline-mode to be able to use CTRL-Y in the new way. Reduced the amount of stack space used by regmatch() to allow it to handle complicated patterns on a longer text. 'isfname' now includes '%' and '#'. Makes "vim dir\#file" work for MS-DOS. Added keypad special keys <kEnter>, <k0> - <k9>. When not mapped they behave like the ASCII equivalent. (Ivan Wellesz and Vince Negri) Recognize a few more xterm keys: <C-Right>, <C-Left>, <C-End>, <C-Home> Also trigger the BufUnload event when Vim is going to exit. Perhaps a script needs to do some cleaning up. Expand expression in backticks: `={expr}`. Can be used where backtick expansion is done. (Vince Negri) GUI: - Added 'L' and 'R' flags in 'guioptions': Add a left or right scrollbar only when there is a vertically split window. - X11: When a color can't be allocated, use the nearest match from the colormap. This avoids that black is used for many things. (Monish Shah) Also do this for the menu and scrollbar, to avoid that they become black. - Win32 and X11: Added 'mouseshape' option: Adjust the mouse pointer shape to the current mode. (Vince Negri) - Added the 'linespace' option: Insert a pixel line between lines. (Nam) - Allow modeless selection (without moving the cursor) by keeping CTRL and SHIFT pressed. (Ivan Wellesz) - Motif: added toolbar. (Gordon Prieur) Also added tooltips. - Athena: added toolbar and tooltips. (David Harrison -- based on Gordon Prieur's work) - Made the 'toolbar' option work for Athena and Motif. Can now switch between text and icons on the fly. (David Harrison) - Support menu separator lines for Athena. (David Harrison) - Athena: Adjust the arrow pixmap used in a pullright menu to the size of the font. (David Harrison) - Win32: Added "c" flag to 'guifont' to be able to specify the charset. (Artem Khodush) - When no --enable-xim argument is given, automatically enable it when a X GUI is used. Required for dead key support (and multibyte input). - After a file selection dialog, check that the edited files were not changed or deleted. The Win32 dialog allows deleting and renaming files. - Motif and Athena: Added support for "editres". (Marcin Dalecki) - Motif and Athena: Added "menuFont" to be able to specify a font or fontset for the menus. Can also be set with the "Menu" highlight group. Useful when the locale is different from 'encoding'. (David Harrison) When FONTSET_ALWAYS is defined, always use a fontset for the menus. Should avoid trouble with changing from a font to a fontset. (David Harrison) - Highlighting and font for the tooltips can be specified with the "Tooltip" highlight group. (David Harrison) - The Cmdline-mode menus can be used at the more-prompt. This mostly works fine, because they start with a CTRL-C. The "Copy" menu works to copy the modeless selection. Allows copying the output of ":set all" or ":intro" without auto-selection. - When starting the GUI when there is no terminal connected to stdout and stderr, display error messages in a dialog. Previously they wouldn't be displayed at all. - Allow setting 'browsedir' to the name of a directory, to be used for the file dialog. (Dan Sharp) - b:browsefilter and g:browsefilter can be set to the filters used for the file dialog. Supported for Win32 and Motif GUI. (Dan Sharp) X11: - Support for the clipboard selection as register "+. When exiting or suspending copy the selection to cut buffer 0. Should allow copy/paste with more applications in a X11-standard way. (Neil Bird) - Use the X clipboard in any terminal, not just in an xterm. Added "exclude:" in 'clipboard': Specify a pattern to match against terminal names for which no connection should be made to the X server. The default currently work for FreeBSD and Linux consoles. - Added a few messages for when 'verbose' is non-zero to show what happens when trying to connect to the X server. Should help when trying to find out why startup is slow. GTK GUI: (partly by Marcin Dalecki) - With some fonts the characters can be taller than ascent + descent. E.g., "-misc-fixed-----18------iso10646-1". Add one to the character cell height. - Implement "no" value for 'winaltkeys': don't use Alt-Key as a menu shortcut, when 'wak' changed after creating the menus. - Setting 'wak' after the GUI started works. - recycle text GC's to reduce communication. - Adjust icon size to window manager. - Cleanup in font handling. - Replace XQueryColor with GDK calls. - Gnome support. Detects Gnome in configure and uses different widgets. Otherwise it's much like GTK. (Andy Kahn) It is disabled by default, because it causes a few problems. - Removed the special code to fork first and then start the GUI. Now use _exit() instead of exit(), this works fine without special tricks. - Dialogs sometimes appeared a bit far away. Position the dialogs inside the gvim window. (Brent Verner) - When dropping a file on Vim, remove extra slashes from the start of the path. Also shorten the file name if possible. Motif: (Marcin Dalecki) - Made the dialog layout better. - Added find and find/replace dialogs. - For the menus, change "iso-8859" to "iso_8859", Linux appears to need this. - Added icon to dialogs, like for GTK. - Use XPM bitmaps for the icon when possible. Use the Solaris XpmP.h include file when it's available. - Change the shadow of the toolbar items to get a visual feedback of it being pressed on non-LessTif. - Use gadgets instead of windows for some items for speed. Command line completion: - Complete environment variable names. (Mike Steed) - For ":command", added a few completion methods: "mapping", "function", "expression" and "environment". - When a function doesn't take arguments, let completion add () instead of (. For MS-DOS, MS-Windows and OS/2: Expand %VAR% environment variables like $VAR. (Walter Briscoe) Redirect messages to the clipboard ":redir @" and to the unnamed register ":redir @"". (Wall) ":let @/ = ''" clears the search pattern, instead of setting it to an empty string. Expression evaluation: - "? :" can be used like in C. - col("$") returns the length of the cursor line plus one. (Stephen P. Wall) - Optional extra argument for match(), matchend() and matchstr(): Offset to start looking for a match. - Made third argument to strpart() optional. (Paul Moore, Zdenek Sekera) - exists() can also be used to check for Ex commands and defined autocommands. - Added extra argument to input(): Default text. - Also set "v:errmsg" when using ":silent! cmd". - Added the v:prevcount variable: v:count for the previous command. - Added "v:progname", name with which Vim was started. (Vince Negri) - In the verbose message about returning from a function, also show the return value. Cscope: - Added the cscope_connection() function. (Andy Kahn) - ":cscope kill -1" kills all cscope connections. (Andy Kahn) - Added the 'cscopepathcomp' option. (Scott Hauck) - Added ":scscope" command, split window and execute Cscope command. (Jason Duell) VMS: - Command line arguments are always uppercase. Interpret a "-X" argument as "-x" and "-/X" as "-X". - Set 'makeprg' and 'grepprg' to meaningful defaults. (Zoltan Arpadffy) - Use the X-clipboard feature and the X command server. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Macintosh: (Dany St-Amant) - Allow a tags file to have CR, CR-LF or LF line separator. (Axel Kielhorn) - Carbonized (while keeping non Carbon code) (Some work "stolen" from Ammon Skidmore) - Improved the menu item index handling (should be faster) - Runtime commands now handle / in file name (MacOS 9 version) - Added ":winpos" support. - Support using "~" in file names for home directory. Options: - When using set += or ^= , check for items used twice. Duplicates are removed. (Vince Negri) - When setting an option that is a list of flags, remove duplicate flags. - If possible, use getrlimit() to set 'maxmemtot' and 'maxmem'. (Pina) - Added "alpha" to 'nrformats': increment or decrement an alphabetic character with CTRL-A and CTRL-X. - ":set opt&vi" sets an option to its Vi default, ":set opt&vim" to its Vim default. Useful to set 'cpo' to its Vim default without knowing what flags that includes. - 'scrolloff' now also applies to a long, wrapped line that doesn't fit in the window. - Added more option settings to the default menus. - Updated the option window with new options. Made it a bit easier to read. Internal changes: - Split line pointers in text part and attributes part. Allows for future change to make attribute more than one byte. - Provide a qsort() function for systems that don't have it. - Changed the big switch for Normal mode commands into a table. This cleans up the code considerably and avoids trouble for some optimizing compilers. - Assigned a negative value to special keys, to avoid them being mixed up with Unicode characters. - Global variables expand_context and expand_pattern were not supposed to be global. Pass them to ExpandOne() and all functions called by it. - No longer use the global reg_ic flag. It caused trouble and in a few places it was not set. - Removed the use of the stuff buffer for "", "K", CTRL-], etc. Avoids problem with autocommands. - Moved some code from ex_docmd.c to ex_cmds2.c. The file was getting too big. Also moved some code from screen.c to move.c. - Don't include the CRC table for encryption, generate it. Saves quite a bit of space in the source code. (Matthias Kramm) - Renamed multibyte.c to mbyte.c to avoid a problem with 8.3 filesystems. - Removed the GTK implementation of ":findhelp", it now uses the ToolBar.FindHelp menu entry. - Renamed mch_windexit() to mch_exit(), mch_init() to mch_early_init() and mch_shellinit() to mch_init(). Highlighting: - In a ":highlight" listing, show "xxx" with the highlight color. - Added support for xterm with 88 or 256 colors. The right color numbers will be used for the name used in a ":highlight" command. (Steve Wall) - Added "default" argument for ":highlight". When included, the command is ignored if highlighting for the group was already defined. All syntax files now use ":hi default ..." to allow the user to specify colors in his vimrc file. Also, the "if did_xxx_syntax_inits" is not needed anymore. This greatly simplifies using non-default colors for a specific language. - Adjusted colortest.vim: Included colors on normal background and reduced the size by using a while loop. (Rafael Garcia-Suarez) - Added the "DarkYellow" color name. Just to make the list of standard colors consistent, it's not really a nice color to use. When an xterm is in 8-bit mode this is detected by the code returned for \|t_RV\|. All key codes are automatically converted to their 8-bit versions. The OPT_TCAP_QUERY in xterm patch level 141 and later is used to obtain the actual key codes used and the number of colors for t_Co. Only when \|t_RV\| is also used. ":browse set" now also works in the console mode. ":browse edit" will give an error message. ":bdelete" and ":bunload" only report the number of deleted/unloaded buffers when more than 'report'. The message was annoying when deleting a buffer in a script. Jump list: - The number of marks kept in the jumplist has been increased from 50 to 100. - The jumplist is now stored in the viminfo file. CTRL-O can be used to jump to positions from a previous edit session. - When doing ":split" copy the jumplist to the new window. Also set the '[ and '] marks for the "~" and "r" commands. These marks are now always set when making a change with a Normal mode command. Python interface: Allow setting the width of a vertically split window. (John Cook) Added "=word" and "=~word" to 'cinkeys' (also used in 'indentkeys'). Added "j1" argument in 'cinoptions': indent {} inside () for Java. (Johannes Zellner) Added the "l" flag in 'cinoptions'. (Anduin Withers) Added 'C', 'U', 'w' and 'm' flags to 'cinoptions'. (Servatius Brandt) When doing ":wall" or ":wqall" and a modified buffer doesn't have a name, mention its buffer number in the error message. ":function Name" lists the function with line numbers. Makes it easier to find out where an error happened. In non-blockwise Visual mode, "r" replaces all selected characters with the typed one, like in blockwise Visual mode. When editing the last file in the argument list in any way, allow exiting. Previously this was only possible when getting to that file with ":next" or ":last". Added the '1' flag to 'formatoptions'. (Vit Stradal) Added 'n' flag in 'formatoptions': format a numbered list. Swap file: - When a swap file already exists, and the user selects "Delete" at the ATTENTION prompt, use the same ".swp" swapfile, to avoid creating a ".swo" file which won't always be found. - When giving the ATTENTION message and the date of the file is newer than the date of swap file, give a warning about this. - Made the info for an existing swap file a bit shorter, so that it still fits on a 24 line screen. - It was possible to make a symlink with the name of a swap file, linking to a file that doesn't exist. Vim would then silently use another file (if open with O_EXCL refuses a symlink). Now check for a symlink to exist. Also do another check for an existing swap file just before creating it to catch a symlink attack. The g CTRL-G command also works in Visual mode and counts the number of words. (Chase Tingley) Give an error message when using 'shell' and it's empty. Added the possibility to include "%s" in 'shellpipe'. Added "uhex" value for 'display': show non-printable characters as <xx>. Show unprintable characters with NonText highlighting, also in the command line. When asked to display the value of a hidden option, tell it's not supported. Win32: - When dropping a shortcut on gvim (.lnk file) edit the target, not the shortcut itself. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) - Added C versions of the OpenWithVim and SendToVim programs. (Walter Briscoe) - When 'shell' is "cmd" or "cmd.exe", set 'shellredir' to redirect stderr too. Also check for the Unix shell names. - When $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH are defined, use them to define $HOME. (Craig Barkhouse) Win32 console version: - Includes the user and system name in the ":version" message, when available. It generates a pathdef.c file for this. (Jon Miner) - Set the window icon to Vim's icon (only for Windows 2000). While executing a shell command, modify the window title to show this. When exiting, restore the cursor position too. (Craig Barkhouse) - The Win32 console version can be compiled with OLE support. It can only function as a client, not as an OLE server. Errorformat: - Let "%p" in 'errorformat' (column of error indicated by a row of characters) also accept a line of dots. - Added "%v" item in 'errorformat': Virtual column number. (Dan Sharp) - Added a default 'errorformat' value for VMS. (Jim Bush) The "p" command can now be used in Visual mode. It overwrites the selected text with the contents of a register. Highlight the <> items in the intro message to make clear they are special. When using the "c" flag for ":substitute", allow typing "l" for replacing this item and then stop: "last". When printing a verbose message about sourcing another file, print the line number. When resizing the Vim window, don't use 'equalalways'. Avoids that making the Vim window smaller makes split windows bigger. And it's what the docs say. When typing CTRL-D in Insert mode, just after an autoindent, then hitting CR kept the remaining white space. Now made it work like BS: delete the autoindent to avoid a blank non-empty line results. Added a GetHwnd() call to the OLE interface. (Vince Negri) Made ":normal" work in an event handler. Useful when dropping a file on Vim and for CursorHold autocommands. For the MS-Windows version, don't change to the directory of the file when a slash is used instead of a backslash. Explorer should always use a backslash, the user can use a slash when typing the command. Timestamps: - When a buffer was changed outside of Vim and regaining focus, give a dialog to allow the user to reload the file. Now also for other GUIs than MS-Windows. And also used in the console, when compiled with dialog support. - Inspect the file contents to find out if it really changed, ignore situations where only the time stamp changed (e.g., checking the file out from CVS). - When checking the timestamp, first check if the file size changed, to avoid a file compare then. Makes it quicker for large (log) files that are appended to. - Don't give a warning for a changed or deleted file when 'buftype' is set. - No longer warn for a changed directory. This avoids that the file explorer produces warnings. - Checking timestamps is only done for buffers that are not hidden. These will be checked when they become unhidden. - When checking for a file being changed outside of Vim, also check if the file permissions changed. When the file contents didn't change but the permissions did, give a warning. - Avoid checking too often, otherwise the dialog keeps popping up for a log file that steadily grows. Mapping <M-A> when 'encoding' is "latin1" and then setting 'encoding' to "utf-8" causes the first byte of a multibyte to be mapped. Can cause very hard to find problems. Disallow mapping part of a multibyte character. For ":python" and ":tcl" accept an in-line script. (Johannes Zellner) Also for ":ruby" and ":perl". (Benoit Cerrina) Made ":syn include" use 'runtimepath' when the file name is not a full path. When 'switchbuf' contains "split" and the current window is empty, don't split the window. Unix: Catch SIGPWR to preserve files when the power is about to go down. Sniff interface: (Anton Leherbauer) - fixed windows code, esp. the event handling stuff - adaptations for sniff 4.x ($SNIFF_DIR4) - support for adding sniff requests at runtime Support the notation <A-x> as an alias for <M-x>. This logical, since the Alt key is used. ":find" accepts a count, which means that the count'th match in 'path' is used. ":ls" and ":buffers" output shows modified/readonly/modifiable flag. When a buffer is active show "a" instead of nothing. When a buffer isn't loaded show nothing instead of "-". Unix install: - When installing the tools, set absolute paths in tools scripts efm_perl.pl and mve.awk. Avoids that the user has to edit these files. - Install Icons for KDE when the directories exist and the icons do not exist yet. Added has("win95"), to be able to distinguish between MS-Windows 95/98/ME and NT/2000/XP in a Vim script. When a ":cd" command was typed, echo the new current directory. (Dan Sharp) When using ":winpos" before the GUI window has been opened, remember the values until it is opened. In the ":version" output, add "/dyn" for features that are dynamically loaded. This indicates the feature may not always work. On Windows NT it is possible that a directory is read-only, but a file can be deleted. When making a backup by renaming the file and 'backupdir' doesn't use the current directory, this causes the original file to be deleted, without the possibility to create a new file. Give an extra error message then to warn to user about this. Made CTRL-R CTRL-O at the command line work like CTRL-R CTRL-R, so that it's consistent with Insert mode. ============================================================================== COMPILE TIME CHANGES compile-changes-6* All generated files have been moved out of the "src" directory. This makes it easy to see which files are not edited by hand. The files generated by configure are now in the "src/auto" directory. For Unix, compiled object files go in the objects directory. The source archive was over the 1.4M floppy limit. The archives are now split up into two runtime and two source archives. Also provide a bzip2 compressed archive that contains all the sources and runtime files. Added "reconfig" as a target for make. Useful when changing some of the arguments that require flushing the cache, such as switching from GTK to Motif. Adjusted the meaning of GUI_INC_LOC and GUI_LIB_LOC to be consistent over different GUIs. Added src/README.txt to give an overview of the main parts of the source code. The Unix Makefile now fully supports using $(DESTDIR) to install to a specific location. Replaces the manual setting of ENDLOC variables. Added the possibility for a maintainer of a binary version to include his e-mail address with the --with-compiledby configure argument. Included features are now grouped in "tiny", "small", "normal", "big" and "huge". This replaces "min-features" and "max-features". Using "tiny" disables multiple windows for a really small Vim. For the tiny version or when FEAT_WINDOWS is not defined: Firstwin and lastwin are equal to curwin and don't use w_next and w_prev. Added the +listcmds feature. Can be used to compile without the Vim commands that manipulate the buffer list and argument list (the buffer list itself is still there, can't do without it). Added the +vreplace feature. It is disabled in the "small" version to avoid that the 16 bit DOS version runs out of memory. Removed GTK+ support for versions older than 1.1.16. The configure checks for using PTYs have been improved. Code taken from a recent version of screen. Added configure options to install Vim, Ex and View under another name (e.g., vim6, ex6 and view6). Added "--with-global-runtime" configure argument. Allows specifying the global directory used in the 'runtimepath' default. Made enabling the SNiFF+ interface possible with a configure argument. Configure now always checks /usr/local/lib for libraries and /usr/local/include for include files. Helps finding the stuff for iconv() and gettext(). Moved the command line history stuff into the +cmdline_hist feature, to exclude the command line history from the tiny version. MS-Windows: Moved common functions from Win16 and Win32 to os_mswin.c. Avoids having to change two files for one problem. (Vince Negri) Moved common code from gui_w16.c and gui_w32.c to gui_w48.c (Vince Negri) The jumplist is now a separate feature. It is disabled for the "small" version (16 bit MS-DOS). Renamed all types ending in _t to end in _T. Avoids potential problems with system types. Added a configure check for X11 header files that implicitly define the return type to int. (Steve Wall) "make doslang" in the top directory makes an archive with the menu and .mo files for Windows. This uses the files generated on Unix, these should work on MS-Windows as well. Merged a large part of os_vms.c with os_unix.c. The code was duplicated in the past which made maintenance more work. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Updated the Borland C version 5 Makefile: (Dan Sharp) - Fixed the Perl build - Added python and tcl builds - Added dynamic perl and dynamic python builds - Added uninstal.exe build - Use "yes" and "no" for the options, like in Make_mvc.mak. Win32: Merged Make_gvc.mak and Make_ovc.mak into one file: Make_ivc.mak. It's much smaller, many unnecessary text has been removed. (Walter Briscoe) Added Make_dvc.mak to be able to debug exe generated with Make_mvc.mak in MS-Devstudio. (Walter Briscoe) MS-Windows: The big gvim.exe, which includes OLE, now also includes dynamically loaded Tcl, Perl and Python. This uses ActivePerl 5.6.1, ActivePython 2.1.1 and ActiveTCL 8.3.3 Added AC_EXEEXT to configure.in, to check if the executable needs ".exe" for Cygwin or MingW. Renamed SUFFIX to EXEEXT in Makefile. Win32: Load comdlg32.dll delayed for faster startup. Only when using VC 6. (Vipin Aravind) Win32: When compiling with Borland, allow using IME. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Win32: Added Makefile for Borland 5 to compile gvimext.dll. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) ============================================================================== BUG FIXES bug-fixes-6* When checking the command name for "gvim", "ex", etc. ignore case. Required for systems where case is ignored in command names. Search pattern "[a-c-e]" also matched a 'd' and didn't match a '-'. When double-clicking in another window, wasn't recognized as double click, because topline is different. Added set_mouse_topline(). The BROKEN_LOCALE check was broken. (Marcin Dalecki) When "t_Co" is set, the default colors remain the same, thus wrong. Reset the colors after changing "t_Co". (Steve Wall) When exiting with ":wqall" the messages about writing files could overwrite each other and be lost forever. When starting Vim with an extremely long file name (around 1024 characters) it would crash. Added a few checks to avoid buffer overflows. CTRL-E could get stuck in a file with very long lines. ":au syntax<Tab>" expanded event names while it should expand groups starting with "syntax". When expanding a file name caused an error (e.g., for <amatch>) it was produced even when inside an "if 0". 'cindent' formatted C comments differently from what the 'comments' option specified. (Steve Wall) Default for 'grepprg' didn't include the file name when only grepping in one file. Now /dev/null has been added for Unix. Opening the option window twice caused trouble. Now the cursor goes to the existing option window. ":sview" and ":view" didn't set 'readonly' for an existing buffer. Now do set 'readonly', unless the buffer is also edited in another window. GTK GUI: When 'guioptions' excluded 'g', the more prompt caused the toolbar and menubar to disappear and resize the window (which clears the text). Now always grey-out the toplevel menus to avoid that the menubar changes size or disappears. When re-using the current buffer for a new buffer, buffer-local variables were not deleted. GUI: when 'scrolloff' is 0 dragging the mouse above the window didn't cause a down scroll. Now pass on a mouse event with mouse_row set to -1. Win32: Console version didn't work on telnet, because of switching between two console screens. Now use one console screen and save/restore the contents when needed. (Craig Barkhouse) When reading a file the magic number for encryption was included in the file length. (Antonio Colombo) The quickfix window contained leading whitespace and NULs for multi-line messages. (David Harrison) When using cscope, redundant tags were removed. This caused a numbering problem, because they were all listed. Don't remove redundant cscope tags. (David Bustos). Cscope: Test for which matches are in the current buffer sometimes failed, causing a jump to another match than selected. (David Bustos) Win32: Buffer overflow when adding a charset name in a font. 'titlestring' and 'iconstring' were evaluating an expression in the current context, which could be a user function, which is a problem for local variables vs global variables. Win32 GUI: Mapping <M-F> didn't work. Now handle SHIFT and CTRL in _OnSysChar(). Win32 GUI: (on no file), :vs<CR>:q<CR> left a trail of pixels down the middle. Could also happen for the ruler. screen_puts() didn't clear the right char in ScreenLines[] for the bold trick. Win32: ":%!sort\|uniq" didn't work, because the input file name touches the "\|". Insert a space before the "\|". OS/2: Expanding wildcards included non-existing files. Caused ":runtime" to fail, which caused syntax highlighting to fail. Pasting a register containing CTRL-R on the command line could cause an endless loop that can't be interrupted. Now it can be stopped with CTRL-C. When 'verbose' is set, a message for file read/write could overwrite the previous message. When 'verbose' is set, the header from ":select" was put after the last message. Now start a new line. The hit-enter prompt reacted to the response of the t_RV string, causing messages at startup to disappear. When t_Co was set to 1, colors were still used. Now only use color when t_Co > 1. Listing functions with ":function" didn't quit when 'q' or ':' was typed at the more prompt. Use mkstemp() instead of mktemp() when it's available, avoids a warning for linking on FreeBSD. When doing Insert mode completion it's possible that b_sfname is NULL. Don't give it to printf() for the "Scanning" message. ":set runtimepath-=$VIMRUNTIME" didn't work, because expansion of wildcards was done after trying to remove the string. Now for ":set opt+=val" and ":set opt-=val" the expansion of wildcards is done before adding or removing "val". Using CTRL-V with the "r" command with a blockwise Visual selection inserted a CTRL-V instead of getting a special character. Unix: Changed the order of libraries: Put -lXdmcp after -lX11 and -lSM -lICE after -lXdmcp. Should fix link problem on HP-UX 10.20. Don't remove the last "-lm" from the link line. Vim may link but fail later when the GUI starts. When the shell returns with an error when trying to expand wildcards, do include the pattern when the "EW_NOTFOUND" flag was set. When expanding wildcards with the shell fails, give a clear error message instead of just "1 returned". Selecting a Visual block, with the start partly on a Tab, deleting it leaves the cursor too far to the left. Causes "s" to work in the wrong position. Pound sign in normal.c caused trouble on some compilers. Use 0xA3 instead. Warning for changing a read-only file wasn't given when 'insertmode' was set. Win32: When 'shellxquote' is set to a double quote (e.g., using csh), ":!start notepad file" doesn't work. Remove the double quotes added by 'shellxquote' when using ":!start". (Pavol Juhas) The "<f-args>" argument of ":command" didn't accept Tabs for white space. Also, don't add an empty argument when there are trailing blanks. ":e test\\je" edited "test\je", but ":next test\\je" edited "testje". Backslashes were removed one time too many for ":next". VMS: "gf" didn't work properly. Use vms_fixfilename() to translate the file name. (Zoltan Arpadffy) After ":hi Normal ctermbg=black ctermfg=white" and suspending Vim not all characters are redrawn with the right background. When doing "make test" without +eval or +windows feature, many tests failed. Now have test1 generate a script to copy the correct output, so that a test that doesn't work is skipped. On FreeBSD the Perl interface added "-lc" to the link command and Python added "-pthread". These two don't work together, because the libc_r library should be used. Removed "-lc" from Perl, it should not be needed. Also: Add "-pthread" to $LIBS, so that the checks for functions is done with libc_r. Sigaltstack() appears to be missing from libc_r. The Syntax sub-menus were getting too long, reorganized them and added another level for some languages. Visual block "r"eplace didn't work well when a Tab is partly included. (Matthias Kramm) When yanking a Visual block, where some lines end halfway the block, putting the text somewhere else doesn't insert a block. Padd with spaces for missing characters. Added "y_width" to struct yankreg. (Matthias Kramm) If a substitute string has a multibyte character after a backslash only the first byte of it was skipped. (Muraoka Taro) Win32: Numeric keypad keys were missing from the builtin termcap entry. When a file was read-only ":wa!" didn't force it to be written. (Vince Negri) Amiga: A file name starting with a colon was considered absolute but it isn't. Amiga: ":pwd" added a slash when in the root of a drive. Don't let 'ttymouse' default to "dec" when compiled with dec mouse support. It breaks the gpm mouse (Linux console). The prototypes for the Perl interface didn't work for threaded Perl. Added a sed command to remove the prototypes from proto/if_perl.pro and added them manually to if_perl.xs. When ":w!" resets the 'readonly' option the title and status lines were not updated. ":args" showed the current file when the argument list was empty. Made this work like Vi: display nothing. "99:<C-U>echo v:count" echoed "99" in Normal mode, but 0 in Visual mode. Don't set v:count when executing a stuffed command. Amiga: Got a requester for "home:" because it's in the default runtime path. Don't bring up a requester when searching for a file in 'path', sourcing the .vimrc file or using ":runtime". Win16 and Win32: Considered a file "\path\file" absolute. Can cause the same file to appear as two different buffers. Win32: Renaming a file to an empty string crashed Vim. Happened when using explorer.vim and hitting ESC at the rename prompt. Win32: strftime() crashed when called with a "-1" value for the time. Win32 with Borland compiler: mch_FullName() didn't work, caused tag file not to be found. Cscope sometimes jumped to the wrong tag. (David Bustos) OS/2: Could not find the tags file. mch_expand_wildcards() added another slash to a directory name. When using ">>" the `] mark was not in the last column. When Vim was compiled without menu support, filetype.vim was still trying to source the menu.vim script. (Rafael Garcia-Suarez) ":ptag" added an item to the tag stack. Win32 IME: "gr" didn't use IME mode. In the "vim --help" message the term "options" was used for arguments. That's confusing, call them "arguments". When there are two windows, and a BufUnload autocommand for closing window #1 closed window #2, Vim would crash. When there is a preview window and only one other window, ":q" wouldn't exit. In Insert mode, when cancelling a digraph with ESC, the '?' wasn't removed. On Unix glob(".") returned "." and "..", on Windows it didn't. On Windows glob("") also returned files starting with a dot. Made this work like Unix on all systems. Win32: Removed old code to open a console. Vimrun is now used and works fine. Compute the room needed by the intro message accurately, so that it also fits on a 25 line console. (Craig Barkhouse) ":ptnext" was broken. Now remember the last tag used in the preview window separately from the tagstack. Didn't check for "-display" being the last argument. (Wichert Akkerman) GTK GUI: When starting "gvim" under some conditions there would be an X error. Don't replace the error handler when creating the xterm clipboard. (Wichert Akkerman) Adding a space after a help tag caused the tag not to be found. E.g., ":he autoindent ". Was trying to expand a URL into a full path name. On Windows this resulted in the current directory to be prepended to the URL. Added vim_isAbsName() and vim_FullName() to avoid that various machine specific functions do it differently. ":n .c" ":cd .." ":n" didn't use the original directory of the file. Vi only does it for the current file (looks like a bug). Now remember the buffer used for the entry in the argument list and use its name (adjusted when doing ":cd"), unless it's deleted. When inserting a special key as its name ("<F8>" as four characters) after moving around in Insert mode, undo didn't work properly. Motif GUI: When using the right mouse button, for some people gvim froze for a couple of seconds (Motif 1.2?). This doesn't happen when there is no Popup menu. Solved by only creating a popup menu when 'mousemodel' is "popup" or "popup_setpos". (David Harrison) Motif: When adding many menu items, the "Help" menu disappeared but the menubar didn't wrap. Now manually set the menubar height. When using <BS> in Insert mode to remove a line break, or using "J" to join lines, the cursor could end up halfway a multibyte character. (Muraoka Taro) Removed defining SVR4 in configure. It causes problems for some X header files and doesn't appear to be used anywhere. When 'wildignore' is used, 'ignorecase' for a tag match was not working. When 'wildignore' contains "~" it was impossible to edit a file ending in a "~". Now don't recognize a file ending in "~" as containing wildcards. Disabled the mouse code for OS/2. It was not really used. ":mksession" always used the full path name for a buffer, also when the short name could be used. ":mkvimrc" and ":mksession" didn't save 'wildchar' and 'pastetoggle' in such a way that they would be restored. Now use the key name if possible, this is portable. After recovering a file and abandoning it, an ":edit" command didn't give the ATTENTION prompt again. Would be useful to be able to delete the file in an easy way. Reset the BF_RECOVERED flag when unloading the buffer. histdel() could match or ignore case, depending on what happened before it. Now always match case. When a window size was specified when splitting a window, it would still get the size from 'winheight' or 'winwidth' if it's larger. When using "append" or "insert" inside a function definition, a line starting with "function" or "endfunction" caused confusion. Now recognize the commands and skip lines until a ".". At the end of any function or sourced file need_wait_return could be reset, causing messages to disappear when redrawing. When in a while loop the line number for error messages stayed fixed. Now the line number is remembered in the while loop. "cd c:/" didn't work on MS-DOS. mch_isdir() removed a trailing slash. MS-Windows: getftime() didn't work when a directory had a trailing slash or backslash. Didn't show the time in the explorer because of this. When doing wildcard completion, a directory "a/" sorted after "a-b". Now recognize path separators when sorting files. Non-Unix systems: When editing "c:/dir/../file" and "c:/file" they were created as different buffers, although it's the same file. Expand to a full file name also when an absolute name contains "..". "g&" didn't repeat the last substitute properly. When 'clipboard' was set to "unnamed", a "Y" command would not write to "0. Now make a copy of register 0 to the clipboard register. When the search pattern matches in many ways, it could not always be interrupted with a CTRL-C. And CTRL-C would have to be hit once for every line when 'hlsearch' is on. When 'incsearch' is on and interrupting the search for a match, don't abandon the command line. When turning a directory name into a full path, e.g., with fnamemodify(), sometimes a slash was added. Make this consistent: Don't add a slash. When a file name contains a "!", using it in a shell command will cause trouble: ":!cat %". Escape the "!" to avoid that. Escape it another time when 'shell' contains "sh". Completing a file name that has a tail that starts with a "~" didn't work: ":e view/~<Tab>". Using a ":command" argument that contains < and > but not for a special argument was not skipped properly. The DOS install program: On Win2000 the check for a vim.exe or gvim.exe in $PATH didn't work, it always found it in the current directory. Rename the vim.exe in the current dir to avoid this. (Walter Briscoe) In the MS-DOS/Windows install program, use %VIM% instead of an absolute path, so that moving Vim requires only one change in the batch file. Mac: mch_FullName() changed the "fname" argument and didn't always initialize the buffer. MS-DOS: mch_FullName() didn't fix forward/backward slashes in an absolute file name. "echo expand("%:p:h")" with an empty file name removed one directory name on MS-DOS. For Unix, when the file name is a directory, the directory name was removed. Now make it consistent: "%:p" adds a path separator for all systems, but no path separator is added in other situations. Unix: When checking for a CTRL-C (could happen any time) and there is an X event (e.g., clipboard updated) and there is typeahead, Vim would hang until a character was typed. MS-DOS, MS-Windows and Amiga: expanding "$ENV/foo" when $ENV ends in a colon, had the slash removed. ":he \^=" gave an error for using \_. ":he ^=" didn't find tag :set^=. Even "he :set^=" didn't find it. A tags file name "D:/tags" was used as file "tags" in "D:". That doesn't work when the current path for D: isn't the root of the drive. Removed calls to XtInitializeWidgetClass(), they shouldn't be necessary. When using a dtterm or various other color terminals, and the Normal group has been set to use a different background color, the background wouldn't always be displayed with that color. Added check for "ut" termcap entry: If it's missing, clearing the screen won't give us the current background color. Need to draw each character instead. Vim now also works when the "cl" (clear screen) termcap entry is missing. When repeating a "/" search command with a line offset, the "n" did use the offset but didn't make the motion linewise. Made "d/pat/+2" and "dn" do the same. Win32: Trying to use ":tearoff" for a menu that doesn't exist caused a crash. OpenPTY() didn't work on Sequent. Add a configure check for getpseudotty(). C-indenting: Indented a line starting with ")" with the matching "(", but not a line starting with "x)" looks strange. Also compute the indent for aligning with items inside the () and use the lowest indent. MS-DOS and Windows: ":n .vim" also matched files ending in "~". Moved mch_expandpath() from os_win16.c and os_msdos.c to misc1.c, they are equal. Macintosh: (Dany St-Amant) - In Vi-compatible mode didn't read files with CR line separators. - Fixed a bug in the handling of Activate/Deactivate Event - Fixed a bug in gui_mch_dialog (using wrong pointer) Multibyte GDK XIM: While composing a multibyte-word, if user presses a mouse button, then the word is removed. It should remain and composing end. (Sung-Hyun Nam) MS-DOS, MS-Windows and OS/2: When reading from stdin, automatic CR-LF conversion by the C library got in the way of detecting a "dos" 'fileformat'. When 'smartcase' is set, patterns with "\S" would also make 'ignorecase' reset. When clicking the mouse in a column larger than 222, it moved to the first column. Can't encode a larger number in a character. Now limit the number to 222, don't jump back to the first column. GUI: In some versions CSI would cause trouble, either when typed directly or when part of a multibyte sequence. When using multibyte characters in a ":normal" command, a trailing byte that is CSI or K_SPECIAL caused problems. Wildmenu didn't handle multibyte characters. ":sleep 10" could not be interrupted on Windows, while "gs" could. Made them both work the same. Unix: When waiting for a character is interrupted by an X-windows event (e.g., to obtain the contents of the selection), the wait time would not be honored. A message could be overwritten quickly. Now compute the remaining waiting time. Windows: Completing "\\share\c$\S" inserted a backslash before the $ and then the name is invalid. Don't insert the backslash. When doing an auto-write before ":make", IObuff was overwritten and the wrong text displayed later. On the Mac the directories "c:/tmp" and "c:/temp" were used in the defaults for 'backupdir' and 'directory', they don't exist. The check for a new file not to be on an MS-DOS filesystem created the file temporarily, which can be slow. Don't do this if there is another check for the swap file being on an MS-DOS filesystem. Don't give the "Changing a readonly file" warning when reading from stdin. When using the "Save As" menu entry and not entering a file name, would get an error message for the trailing ":edit #". Now only do that when the alternate file name was changed. When Vim owns the X11 selection and is being suspended, an application that tries to use the selection hangs. When Vim continues it could no longer obtain the selection. Now give up the selection when suspending. option.h and globals.h were included in some files, while they were already included in vim.h. Moved the definition of EXTERN to vim.h to avoid doing it twice. When repeating an operator that used a search pattern and the search pattern contained characters that have a special meaning on the cmdline (e.g., CTRL-U) it didn't work. Fixed various problems with using K_SPECIAL (0x80) and CSI (0x9b) as a byte in a (multibyte) character. For example, the "r" command could not be repeated. The DOS/Windows install program didn't always work from a directory with a long filename, because $VIM and the executable name would not have the same path. Multi-byte: - Using an any-but character range [^x] in a regexp didn't work for UTF-8. (Muraoka Taro) - When backspacing over inserted characters in Replace mode multibyte characters were not handled correctly. (Muraoka Taro) - Search commands "#" and "" didn't work with multibyte characters. (Muraoka Taro) - Word completion in Insert mode didn't work with multibyte characters. (Muraoka Taro) - Athena/Motif GUI: when 'linespace' is non-zero the cursor would be drawn too wide (number of bytes instead of cell width). - When changing 'encoding' to "euc-jp" and inserting a character Vim would crash. - For euc-jp characters positioning the cursor would sometimes be wrong. Also, with two characters with 0x8e leading byte only the first one would be displayed. - When using DYNAMIC_ICONV on Win32 conversion might fail because of using the wrong error number. (Muraoka Taro) - Using Alt-x in the GUI while 'encoding' was set to "utf-8" didn't produce the right character. - When using Visual block selection and only the left half of a double-wide character is selected, the highlighting continued to the end of the line. - Visual-block delete didn't work properly when deleting the right half of a double-wide character. - Overstrike mode for the cmdline replaced only the first byte of a multibyte character. - The cursor in Replace mode (also in the cmdline) was to small on a double-wide character. - When a multibyte character contained a 0x80 byte, it didn't work (was using a CSI byte instead). (Muraoka Taro) - Wordwise selection with the mouse didn't work. - Yanking a modeless selection of multibyte characters didn't work. - When 'selection' is "exclusive", selecting a word that ends in a multibyte character used wrong highlighting for the following character. Win32 with Make_mvc.mak: Didn't compile for debugging. (Craig Barkhouse) Win32 GUI: When "vimrun.exe" is used to execute an external command, don't give a message box with the return value, it was already printed by vimrun. Also avoid printing the return value of the shell when ":silent!" is used. Win32: selecting a lot of text and using the "find/replace" dialog caused a crash. X11 GUI: When typing a character with the 8th bit set and the Meta/Alt modifier, the modifier was removed without changing the character. Truncating a message to make it fit on the command line, using "..." for the middle, didn't always compute the space correctly. Could not imap <C-@>. Now it works like <Nul>. VMS: - Fixed a few things for VAXC. os_vms_fix.com had some strange CTRL-M characters. (Zoltan Arpadffy and John W. Hamill) - Added VMS-specific defaults for the 'isfname' and 'isprint' options. (Zoltan Arpadffy) - Removed os_vms_osdef.h, it's no longer used. The gzip plugin used a ":normal" command, this doesn't work when dropping a compressed file on Vim. In very rare situations a binary search for a tag would fail, because an uninitialized value happens to be half the size of the tag file. (Narendran) When using BufEnter and BufLeave autocommands to enable/disable a menu, it wasn't updated right away. When doing a replace with the "c"onfirm flag, the cursor was positioned after the ruler, instead of after the question. With a long replacement string the screen could scroll up and cause a "more" prompt. Now the message is truncated to make it fit. Motif: The autoconf check for the Xp library didn't work. When 'verbose' is set to list lines of a sourced file, defining a function would reset the counter used for the "more" prompt. In the Win32 find/replace dialog, a '/' character caused problems. Escape it with a backslash. Starting a shell with ":sh" was different from starting a shell for CTRL-Z when suspending doesn't work. They now work the same way. Jumping to a file mark while in a changed buffer gave a "mark not set" error. ":execute histget("cmd")" causes an endless loop and crashed Vim. Now catch all commands that cause too much recursiveness. Removed "Failed to open input method" error message, too many people got this when they didn't want to use a XIM. GUI: When compiled without the +windows feature, the scrollbar would start below line one. Removed the trick with redefining character class functions from regexp.c. Win32 GUI: Find dialog gives focus back to main window, when typing a character mouse pointer is blanked, it didn't reappear when moving it in the dialog window. (Vince Negri) When recording and typing a CTRL-C, no character was recorded. When in Insert mode or cancelling half a command, playing back the recorded sequence wouldn't work. Now record the CTRL-C. When the GUI was started, mouse codes for DEC and netterm were still checked for. GUI: When scrolling and 'writedelay' is non-zero, the character under the cursor was displayed in the wrong position (one line above/below with CTRL-E/CTRL-Y). A ":normal" command would reset the 'scrollbind' info. Causes problems when using a ":normal" command in an autocommand for opening a file. Windows GUI: a point size with a dot, like "7.5", wasn't recognized. (Muraoka Taro) When 'scrollbind' wasn't set would still remember the current position, wasting time. GTK: Crash when 'shell' doesn't exist and doing":!ls". Use _exit() instead of exit() when the child couldn't execute the shell. Multi-byte: - GUI with double-byte encoding: a mouse click in left half of double-wide character put the cursor in previous char. - Using double-byte encoding and 'selection' is "exclusive": "vey" and "^Vey" included the character after the word. - When using a double-byte encoding and there is a lead byte at the end of the line, the preceding line would be displayed. "ga" also showed wrong info. - "gf" didn't include multibyte characters before the cursor properly. (Muraoka Taro) GUI: The cursor was sometimes not removed when scrolling. Changed the policy from redrawing the cursor after each call to gui_write() to only update it at the end of update_screen() or when setting the cursor position. Also only update the scrollbars at the end of update_screen(), that's the only place where the window text may have been scrolled. Formatting "/<Tab>long text", produced " <Tab>" in the next line. Now remove the space before the Tab. Formatting "/<Tab> long text", produced " <Tab> long text" in the next line. Now keep the space after the Tab. In some places non-ASCII alphabetical characters were accepted, which could cause problems. For example, ":X" (X being such a character). When a pattern matches the end of the line, the last character in the line was highlighted for 'hlsearch'. That looks wrong for "/\%3c". Now highlight the character just after the line. Motif: If a dialog was closed by clicking on the "X" of the window frame Vim would no longer respond. When using CTRL-X or CTRL-A on a number with many leading zeros, Vim would crash. (Matsumoto) When 'insertmode' is set, the mapping in mswin.vim for CTRL-V didn't work in Select mode. Insert mode wasn't restarted after overwriting the text. Now allow nesting Insert mode with insert and change commands. CTRL-O cwfoo<Esc> now also works. Clicking with the right mouse button in another window started Visual mode, but used the start position of the current window. Caused ml_get errors when the line number was invalid. Now stay in the same window. When 'selection' is "exclusive", "gv" sometimes selected one character fewer. When 'comments' contains more than one start/middle/end triplet, the optional flags could be mixed up. Also didn't align the end with the middle part. Double-right-click in Visual mode didn't update the shown mode. When the Normal group has a font name, it was never used when starting up. Now use it when 'guifont' and 'guifontset' are empty. Setting a font name to a highlight group before the GUI was started didn't work. "make test" didn't use the name of the generated Vim executable. 'cindent' problems: - Aligned with an "else" inside a do-while loop for a line below that loop. (Meikel Brandmeyer) - A line before a function would be indented even when terminated with a semicolon. (Meikel Brandmeyer) - 'cindent' gave too much indent to a line after a "};" that ends an array init. - Support declaration lines ending in "," and "\". (Meikel Brandmeyer) - A case statement inside a do-while loop was used for indenting a line after the do-while loop. (Meikel Brandmeyer) - When skipping a string in a line with one double quote it could continue in the previous line. (Meikel Brandmeyer) When 'list' is set, 'hlsearch' didn't highlight a match at the end of the line. Now highlight the '$'. The Paste menu item in the menu bar, the popup menu and the toolbar were all different. Now made them all equal to how it was done in mswin.vim. st_dev can be smaller than "unsigned". The compiler may give an overflow warning. Added a configure check for dev_t. Athena: closing a confirm() dialog killed Vim. Various typos in the documentation. (Matt Dunford) Python interface: The definition of _DEBUG could cause trouble, undefine it. The error message for not being able to load the shared library wasn't translated. (Muraoka Taro) Mac: (Dany St-Amant and Axel Kielhorn) - Several fixes. - Vim was eating 80% of the CPU time. - The project os_mac.pbxproj didn't work, Moved it to a subdirectory. - Made the menu priority work for the menubar. - Fixed a problem with dragging the scrollbar. - Cleaned up the various #ifdefs. Unix: When catching a deadly signal and we keep getting one use _exit() to exit in a quick and dirty way. Athena menu ordering didn't work correctly. (David Harrison) A ":make" or ":grep" command with a long argument could cause a crash. Doing ":new file" and using "Quit" for the ATTENTION dialog still opened a new window. GTK: When starting the GUI and there is an error in the .vimrc file, don't present the wait-return prompt, since the message was given in the terminal. When there was an error in a .vimrc file the terminal where gvim was started could be cleared. Set msg_row in main.c before writing any messages. GTK and X11 GUI: When trying to read characters from the user (e.g. with input()) before the Vim window was opened caused Vim to hang when it was started from the desktop. OS/390 uses 31 bit pointers. That broke some computations with MAX_COL. Reduce MAX_COL by one bit for OS/390. (Ralf Schandl) When defining a function and it already exists, Vim didn't say it existed until after typing it. Now do this right away when typing it. The message remembered for displaying later (keep_msg) was sometimes pointing into a generic buffer, which might be changed by the time the message is displayed. Now make a copy of the message. When using multibyte characters in a menu and a trailing byte is a backslash, the menu would not be created correctly. (Muraoka Taro) Using a multibyte character in the substitute string where a trail byte is a backslash didn't work. (Muraoka Taro) When setting "t_Co" in a vimrc file, then setting it automatically from an xterm termresponse and then setting it again manually caused a crash. When getting the value of a string option that is not supported, the number zero was returned. This breaks a check like "&enc == "asdf". Now an empty string is returned for string options. Crashed when starting the GTK GUI while using 'notitle' in the vimrc, setting 'title' in the gvimrc and starting the GUI with ":gui". Closed the connection to the X server accidentally. Had to hit return after selecting an entry for ":ts". The message from ":cn" message was sometimes cleared. Now display it after redrawing if it doesn't cause a scroll (truncated when necessary). hangulin.c didn't compile when the GUI was disabled. Disable it when it won't work. When setting a termcap option like "t_CO", the value could be displayed as being for a normal key with a modifier, like "<M-=>". When expanding the argument list, entries which are a directory name did not get included. This stopped "vim c:/" from opening the file explorer. ":syn match sd "^" nextgroup=asdf" skipped the first column and matched the nextgroup in the second column. GUI: When 'lazyredraw' is set, 'showmatch' didn't work. Required flushing the output. Don't define the <NetMouse> termcode in an xterm, reduces the problem when someone types <Esc> } in Insert mode. Made slash_adjust() work correctly for multibyte characters. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Using a filename in Big5 encoding for autocommands didn't work (backslash in trailbyte). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) DOS and Windows: Expanding .vim also matched file.vimfoo. Expand path like Unix to avoid problems with Windows dir functions. Merged the DOS and Win32 functions. Win32: GvimExt could not edit more than a few files at once, the length of the argument was fixed. "ls -1 \| xargs vim" worked, but the input was in cooked mode. Now switch to raw mode when needed. Use dup() to copy the stderr file descriptor to stdin to make shell commands work. No longer requires an external program to do this. When using ":filetype off", ftplugin and indent usage would be switched off at the same time. Don't do this, setting 'filetype' manually can still use them. GUI: When writing a double-byte character, it could be split up in two calls to gui_write(), which doesn't work. Now flush before the output buffer becomes full. When 'laststatus' is set and 'cmdheight' is two or bigger, the intro message would be written over the status line. The ":intro" command didn't work when there wasn't enough room. Configuring for Ruby failed with a recent version of Ruby. (Akinori Musha) Athena: When deleting the directory in which Vim was started, using the file browser made Vim exit. Removed the use of XtAppError(). When using autoconf 2.50, UNIX was not defined. Moved the comment for "#undef UNIX" to a separate line. Win32: Disabled _OnWindowPosChanging() to make maximize work better. Win32: Compiling with VC 4.0 didn't work. (Walter Briscoe) Athena: - Finally fixed the problems with deleting a menu. (David Harrison) - Athena: When closing the confirm() dialog, worked like OK was pressed, instead of Cancel. The file explorer didn't work in compatible mode, because of line continuation. Didn't give an error message for ":digraph a". When using Ex mode in the GUI and typing a special key, <BS> didn't delete it correctly. Now display '?' for a special key. When an operator is pending, clicking in another window made it apply to that window, even though the line numbers could be beyond the end of the buffer. When a function call doesn't have a terminating ")" Vim could crash. Perl interface: could crash on exit with perl 5.6.1. (Anduin Withers) Using %P in 'errorformat' wasn't handled correctly. (Tomas Zellerin) Using a syntax cluster that includes itself made Vim crash. GUI: With 'ls' set to 2, dragging the status line all the way up, then making the Vim window smaller: Could not the drag status line anymore. "vim -c startinsert! file" placed cursor on last char of a line, instead of after it. A ":set" command in the buffer menu set w_set_curswant. Now don't do this when w_curswant is MAXCOL. Win32: When the gvim window was maximized and selecting another font, the window would no longer fill the screen. The line with 'pastetoggle' in ":options" didn't show the right value when it is a special key. Hitting <CR> didn't work either. Formatting text, resulting in a % landing in the first line, repeated the % in the following lines, like it's the start of a comment. GTK: When adding a toolbar item while gvim is already running, it wasn't possible to use the tooltip. Now it works by adding the tooltip first. The output of "g CTRL-G" mentioned "Char" but it's actually bytes. Searching for the end of a oneline region didn't work correctly when there is an offset for the highlighting. Syntax highlighting: When synchronizing on C-comments, /// was seen as the start of a comment. Win32: Without scrollbars present, the MS mouse scroll wheel didn't work. Also handle the scrollbars when they are not visible. Motif: When there is no right scrollbar, the bottom scrollbar would still leave room for it. (Marcin Dalecki) When changing 'guicursor' and the value is invalid, some of the effects would still take place. Now first check for errors and only make the new value effective when it's OK. Using "A" In Visual block mode, appending to lines that don't extend into the block, padding was wrong. When pasting a block of text, a character that occupies more than one screen column could be deleted and spaces inserted instead. Now only do that with a tab. Fixed conversion of documentation to HTML using Perl. (Dan Sharp) Give an error message when a menu name starts with a dot. Avoid a hang when executing a shell from the GUI on HP-UX by pushing "ptem" even when sys/ptem.h isn't present. When creating the temp directory, make sure umask is 077, otherwise the directory is not accessible when it was set to 0177. Unix: When resizing the window and a redraw is a bit slow, could get a window resize event while redrawing, resulting in a messed up window. Any input (e.g., a mouse click) would redraw. The "%B" item in the status line became zero in Insert mode (that's normal) for another than the current window. The menu entries to convert to xxd and back didn't work in Insert mode. When ":vglobal" didn't find a line where the pattern doesn't match, the error message would be the wrong way around. When ignoring a multi-line error message with "%-A", the continuation lines would be used anyway. (Servatius Brandt) "grx" on a double-wide character inserted "x", instead of replacing the character with "x ". "gR" on <xx> ('display' set the "uhex") didn't replace at all. When doing "gRxx" on a control character the first "x" would be inserted, breaking the alignment. Added "0)" to 'cinkeys', so that when typing a ) it is put in the same place as where "==" would put it. Win32: When maximized, adding/removing toolbar didn't resize the text area. When using <C-RightMouse> a count was discarded. When typing CTRL-V and <RightMouse> in the command line, would insert <LeftMouse>. Using "vis" or "vas" when 'selection' is exclusive didn't include the last character. When adding to an option like 'grepprg', leading space would be lost. Don't expand environment variables when there is no comma separating the items. GUI: When using a bold-italic font, would still use the bold trick and underlining. Motif: The default button didn't work in dialogs, the first one was always used. Had to give input focus to the default button. When using CTRL-T to jump within the same file, the '' mark wasn't set. Undo wasn't Vi compatible when using the 'c' flag for ":s". Now it undoes the whole ":s" command instead of each confirmed replacement. The Buffers menu, when torn-off, disappeared when being refreshed. Add a dummy item to avoid this. Removed calling msg_start() in main(), it should not be needed. vim_strpbrk() did not support multibyte characters. (Muraoka Taro) The Amiga version didn't compile, the code was too big for relative jumps. Moved a few files from ex_docmd.c to ex_cmds2.c When evaluating the "= register resulted in the "= register being changed, Vim would crash. When doing ":view file" and it fails, the current buffer was made read-only. Motif: For some people the separators in the toolbar disappeared when resizing the Vim window. (Marcin Dalecki) Win32 GUI: when setting 'lines' to a huge number, would not compute the available space correctly. Was counting the menu height twice. Conversion of the docs to HTML didn't handle the line with the +quickfix tag correctly. (Antonio Colombo) Win32: fname_case() didn't handle multibyte characters correctly. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) The Cygwin version had trouble with fchdir(). Don't use that function for Cygwin. The generic check in scripts.vim for "conf" syntax was done before some checks in filetype.vim, resulting in "conf" syntax too often. Dos32: Typing lagged behind. Would wait for one biostick when checking if a character is available. GTK: When setting 'columns' while starting up "gvim", would set the width of the terminal it was started in. When using ESC in Insert mode, an autoindent that wraps to the next line caused the cursor to move to the end of the line temporarily. When the character before the cursor was a double-wide multibyte character the cursor would be on the right half, which causes problems with some terminals. Didn't handle multibyte characters correctly when expanding a file name. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Win32 GUI: Errors generated before the GUI is decided to start were not reported. globpath() didn't reserve enough room for concatenated results. (Anduin Withers) When expanding an option that is very long already, don't do the expansion, it would be truncated to MAXPATHL. (Anduin Withers) When 'selection' is "exclusive", using "Fx" in Visual mode only moved until just after the character. When using IME on the console to enter a file name, the screen may scroll up. Redraw the screen then. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Motif: In the find/replace dialog the "Replace" button didn't work first time, second time it replaced all matches. Removed the use of ":s///c". GTK: Similar problems with the find/replace dialog, moved the code to a common function. X11: Use shared GC's for text. (Marcin Dalecki) "]i" found the match under the cursor, instead of the first one below it. Same for "]I", "] CTRL-I", "]d", "]D" and "] CTRL-D". Win16: When maximized and the font is changed, don't change the window size. (Vince Negri) When 'lbr' is set, deleting a block of text could leave the cursor in the wrong position. Win32: When opening a file with the "Edit with Vim" popup menu entry, wildcards would cause trouble. Added the "--literal" argument to avoid expanding file names. When using "gv", it didn't restore that "$" was used in Visual block mode. Win32 GUI: While waiting for a shell command to finish, the window wasn't redrawn at all. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Syntax highlighting: A match that continues on a next line because of a contained region didn't end when that region ended. The ":s" command didn't allow flags like 'e' and 'i' right after it. When using ":s" to split a line, marks were moved to the next line. Vi keeps them in the first line. When using ":n" ":rew", the previous context mark was at the top of the file, while Vi puts it in the same place as the cursor. Made it Vi compatible. Fixed Vi incompatibility: Text was not put in register 1 when using "c" and "d" with a motion character, when deleting within one line with one of the commands: % ( ) `<character> / ? N n { } Win32 GUI: The tooltip for tear-off items remained when the tear-off item was no longer selected. GUI: When typing ":" at the more prompt, would return to Normal mode and not redraw the screen. When starting Vim with an argument "-c g/at/p" the printed lines would overwrite each other. BeOS: Didn't compile. Configure didn't add the os_beos files, the QNX check removed them. Various changes to os_beos.cc. (Joshua Haberman) Removed the check for the hardware platform, the BeBox has not been produced for a long time now. Win32 GUI: don't use a message box when the shell returns an error code, display the message in the Vim window. Make_mvc.mak always included "/debug" for linking. "GUI=no" argument didn't work. Use "DEBUG=yes" instead of "DEBUG=1" to make it consistent. (Dan Sharp) When a line in the tags file ended in ;" (no TAB following) the command would not be recognized as a search command. X11: The inputMethod resource never worked. Don't use the "none" input method for SGI, it apparently makes the first character in Input method dropped. Fixed incorrect tests in os_mac.h. (Axel Kielhorn) Win32 console: When the console where Vim runs in is closed, Vim could hang in trying to restore the window icon. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) When using ":3call func()" or ":3,3call func() the line number was ignored. When 'showbreak' and 'linebreak' were both set, Visual highlighting sometimes continued until the end of the line. GTK GUI: Tearoff items were added even when 'guioptions' didn't contain 't' when starting up. MS-Windows: When the current directory includes a "~", searching files with "gf" or ":find" didn't work. A "$" in the directory had the same problem. Added mch_has_exp_wildcard() functions. When reducing the Vim window height while starting up, would get an out-of-memory error message. When editing a very long search pattern, 'incsearch' caused the redraw of the command line to fail. Motif GUI: On some systems the "Help" menu would not be on the far right, as it should be. On some other systems (esp. IRIX) the command line would not completely show. Solution is to only resize the menubar for Lesstif. Using "%" in a line that contains "\\" twice didn't take care of the quotes properly. Now make a difference between \" and \\". For non-Unix systems a dummy file is created when finding a swap name to detect a 8.3 filesystem. When there is an existing swap file, would get a warning for the file being created outside of Vim. Also, when closing the Vim window the file would remain. Motif: The menu height was always computed, using a "-menuheight" argument was setting the room for the command line. Now make clear the argument is not supported. For some (EBCDIC) systems, POUND was equal to '#'. Added an #if for that to avoid a duplicate case in a switch. The GUI may have problems when forking. Always call _exit() instead of exit() in the parent, the child will call exit(). Win32 GUI: Accented characters were often wrong in dialogs and tearoff menus. Now use CP_ACP instead of CP_OEMCP. (Vince Negri) When displaying text with syntax highlighting causes an error (e.g., running out of stack) the syntax highlighting is disabled to avoid further messages. When a command in a .vimrc or .gvimrc causes an ATTENTION prompt, and Vim was started from the desktop (no place to display messages) it would hang. Now open the GUI window early to be able to display the messages and pop up the dialog. "r<CR>" on a multibyte character deleted only the first byte of the character. "3r<CR>" deleted three bytes instead of three characters. When interrupting reading a file, Vi considers the buffer modified. Added the 'i' flag in 'cpoptions' flag for this (we don't want it modified to be able to do ":q"). When using an item in 'guicursor' that starts with a colon, Vim would get stuck or crash. When putting a file mark in a help file and later jumping back to it, the options would not be set. Extended the modeline in all help files to make this work better. When a modeline contained "::" the local option values would be printed. Now ignore it. Some help files did not use a 8.3 names, which causes problems when using MS-DOS unzip. Renamed "multibyte.txt" to "mbyte.txt", "rightleft.txt" to "rileft.txt", "tagsearch.txt" to "tagsrch.txt", "os_riscos.txt" to "os_risc.txt". When Visual mode is blockwise, using "iw" or "aw" made it characterwise. That doesn't seem right, only do this when in linewise mode. But then do it always, not only when start and end of Visual mode are equal. When using "viw" on a single-letter word and 'selection' is exclusive, would not include the word. When formatting text from Insert mode, using CTRL-O, could mess up undo information. While writing a file (also for the backup file) there was no check for an interrupt (hitting CTRL-C). Vim could hang when writing a large file over a slow network, and moving the mouse didn't make it appear (when 'mousehide' is set) and the screen wasn't updated in the GUI. Also allow interrupting when syncing the swap file, it can take a long time. When using ":mksession" while there is help window, it would later be restored to the right file but not marked as a help buffer. ":help" would then open another window. Now use the value "help" for 'buftype' to mark a help buffer. The session file contained absolute path names in option values, that doesn't work when the home directory depends on the situation. Replace the home directory with ~/ when possible. When using 'showbreak' a TAB just after the shown break would not be counted correctly, the cursor would be positioned wrong. With 'showbreak' set to "--->" or "------->" and 'sts' set to 4, inserting tabs did not work right. Could cause a crash. Backspacing was also wrong, could get stuck at a line break. Win32: crashed when tearing off a menu with over 300 items. GUI: A menu or toolbar item would appear when only a tooltip was defined for it. When 'scrolloff' is non-zero and "$" is in 'cpoptions', using "s" while the last line of the file is the first line on screen, the text wasn't displayed. When running "autoconf", delete the configure cache to force starting cleanly when configure is run again. When changing the Normal colors for cterm, the value of 'background' was changed even when the GUI was used. The warning for a missing vimrun.exe was always given on startup, but some people just editing a file don't need to be bothered by it. Only show it when vimrun would be used. When using "%" in a multibyte text it could get confused by trailbytes that match. (Muraoka Taro) Termcap entry for RiscOS was wrong, using 7 and 8 in octal codes. Athena: The title of a dialog window and the file selector window were not set. (David Harrison) The "htmlLink" highlight group specified colors, which gives problems when using a color scheme. Added the "Underlined" highlight group for this. After using ":insert" or ":change" the '[ mark would be one line too low. When looking for the file name after a match with 'include' one character was skipped. Same for 'define'. Win32 and DJGPP: When editing a file with a short name in a directory, and editing the same file but using the long name, would end up with two buffers on the same file. "gf" on a filename that starts with "../" only worked when the file being edited is in the current directory. An include file search didn't work properly for files starting with "../" or ".". Now search both relative to the file and to the current directory. When 'printheader', 'titlestring', 'iconstring', 'rulerformat' or 'statusline' contained "%{" but no following "}" memory was corrupted and a crash could happen. ":0append" and then inserting two lines did not redraw the blank lines that were scrolled back down. When using insert mode completion in a narrow window, the message caused a scroll up. Now shorten the message if it doesn't fit and avoid writing the ruler over the message. XIM still didn't work correctly on some systems, especially SGI/IRIX. Added the 'imdisable' option, which is set by default for that system. Patch 6.0aw.008 Problem: When the first character of a file name is over 127, the Buffers menu entry would get a negative priority and cause problems. Solution: Reduce the multiplier for the first character when computing the hash value for a Buffers menu entry. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0aw.010 Problem: Win32: ":browse edit dir/dir" didn't work. (Vikas) Solution: Change slashes to backslashes in the directory passed to the file browser. Files: src/gui_w48.c Athena file browser: On some systems wcstombs() can't be used to get the length of a multibyte string. Use the maximum length then. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Patch 6.0ax.001 Problem: When 'patchmode' is set, appending to a file gives an empty original file. (Ed Ralston) Solution: Also make a backup copy when appending and 'patchmode' is set. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0ax.002 Problem: When 'patchmode' is set, appending to a compressed file gives an uncompressed original file. (Ed Ralston) Solution: Create the original file before decompressing. Files: runtime/plugin/gzip.vim Patch 6.0ax.005 Problem: Athena file selector keeps the title of the first invocation. Solution: Set the title each time the file selector is opened. (David Harrison) Files: src/gui_at_fs.c Patch 6.0ax.007 Problem: When using GPM (mouse driver in a Linux console) a double click is interpreted as a scroll wheel click. Solution: Check if GPM is being used when deciding if a mouse event is for the scroll wheel. Files: src/term.c Patch 6.0ax.010 Problem: The Edit.Save menu and the Save toolbar button didn't work when the buffer has no file name. Solution: Use a file browser to ask for a file name. Also fix the toolbar Find item in Visual mode. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0ax.012 Problem: When 'cpoptions' contains "$", breaking a line for 'textwidth' doesn't redraw properly. (Stefan Schulze) Solution: Remove the dollar before breaking the line. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0ax.014 Problem: Win32: On Windows 98 ":make -f file" doesn't work when 'shell' is "command.com" and 'makeprg' is "nmake". The environment isn't passed on to "nmake". Solution: Also use vimrun.exe when redirecting the output of a command. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.0ax.016 Problem: The version number was reported wrong in the intro screen. Solution: Check for a version number with two additional letters. Files: src/version.c Patch 6.0ax.019 Problem: When scrolling a window with folds upwards, switching to another vertically split window and back may not update the scrollbar. Solution: Limit w_botline to the number of lines in the buffer plus one. Files: src/move.c ============================================================================== VERSION 6.1 version-6.1* This section is about improvements made between version 6.0 and 6.1. This is a bug-fix release, there are not really any new features. Changed changed-6.1 ------- 'iminsert' and 'imsearch' are no longer set as a side effect of defining a language-mapping using ":lmap".

(Dorai Sitaram) Added indent file for Prolog. (Kontra Gergely) Added indent file for Povray (David Necas) Added indent file for IDL (Aleksandar Jelenak) Added C# indent and ftplugin scripts. Added Ukrainian menu translations. (Bohdan Vlasyuk) Added ASCII version of the Czech menus. (Jiri Brezina) Added Simplified Chinese translation of the tutor. (Mendel L Chan) Added Russian keymap for yawerty keyboard. Added an explanation of using the vimrc file in the tutor. Changed tutor.vim to get the right encoding for the Taiwainese tutor. Added Russian tutor. (Andrey Kiselev) Added Polish tutor. (Mikolaj Machowski) Added darkblue color scheme. (Bohdan Vlasyuk) When packing the dos language archive automatically generate the .mo files that are required. Improved NSIS script to support NSIS 180. Added icons for the enabled/disabled status. (Mirek Pruchnik) cp1250 version of the Slovak message translations. Compiler plugins for IRIX compilers. (David Harrison) Fixed fixed-6.1 ----- The license text was updated to make the meaning clearer and make it compatible with the GNU GPL. Otherwise distributors have a problem when linking Vim with a GPL'ed library. When installing the "less.sh" script it was not made executable. (Chuck Berg) Win32: The "9" key on the numpad wasn't working. (Julian Kinraid) The NSIS install script didn't work with NSIS 1.80 or later. Also add Vim-specific icons. (Pruchnik) The script for conversion to HTML contained an "if" in the wrong place. (Michael Geddes) Allow using ":ascii" in the sandbox, it's harmless. Removed creat() from osdef2.h.in, it wasn't used and may cause a problem when it's redefined to creat64(). The text files in the VisVim directory were in "dos" format. This caused problems when applying a patch. Now keep them in "unix" format and convert them to "dos" format only for the PC archives. Add ruby files to the dos source archive, they can be used by Make_mvc.mak. (Mirek Pruchnik) "cp -f" doesn't work on all systems. Change "cp -f" in the Makefile to "rm -f" and "cp". Didn't compile on a Compaq Tandem Himalaya OSS. (Michael A. Benzinger) The GTK file selection dialog didn't include the "Create Dir", "Delete File" and "Rename File" buttons. When doing ":browse source" the dialog has the title "Run Macro". Better would be "Source Vim script". (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Win32: Don't use the printer font as default for the font dialog. "make doslang" didn't work when configure didn't run (yet). Set $MAKEMO to "yes". (Mirek Pruchnik) The ToolBar TagJump item used "g]", which prompts for a selection even when there is only one matching tag. Use "g<C-]>" instead. The ming makefile for message translations didn't have the right list of files. The MS-Windows 3.1 version complains about LIBINTL.DLL not found. Compile this version without message translations. The Borland 5 makefile contained a check for Ruby which is no longer needed. The URLs for the TCL library was outdated. (Dan Sharp) The eviso.ps file was missing from the DOS runtime archive, it's needed for printing PostScript in the 32bit DOS version. In menu files ":scriptencoding" was used in a wrong way after patch 6.1a.032 Now use ":scriptencoding" in the file where the translations are given. Do the same for all menus in latin1 encoding. Included a lot of fixes for the Macintosh, mostly to make it work with Carbon. (Dany StAmant, Axel Kielhorn, Benji Fisher) Improved the vimtutor shell script to use $TMPDIR when it exists, and delete the copied file when exiting in an abnormal way. (Max Ischenko) When "iconv.dll" can't be found, try using "libiconv.dll". When encryption is used, filtering with a shell command wasn't possible. DJGPP: ":cd c:" always failed, can't get permissions for "c:". Win32: ":cd c:/" failed if the previous current directory on c: had become invalid. DJGPP: Shift-Del and Del both produce \316\123. Default mapping for Del is wrong. Disabled it. Dependencies on header files in MingW makefile was wrong. Win32: Don't use ACL stuff for MSVC 4.2, it's not supported. (Walter Briscoe) Win32 with Borland: bcc.cfg was caching the value for $(BOR), but providing a different argument to make didn't regenerate it. Win32 with MSVC: Make_ivc.mak generates a new if_ole.h in a different directory, the if_ole.h in the src directory may be used instead. Delete the distributed file. When a window is vertically split and then ":ball" is used, the window layout is messed up, can cause a crash. (Muraoka Taro) When 'insertmode' is set, using File/New menu and then double clicking, "i" is soon inserted. (Merlin Hansen) When Select mode is active and using the Buffers menu to switch to another buffer, an old selection comes back. Reset VIsual_reselect for a ":buffer" command. When Select mode is active and 'insertmode' is set, using the Buffers menu to switch to another buffer, did not return to Insert mode. Make sure "restart_edit" is set.

(Geza Lakner) Solution: Add an #ifdef for +virtualedit. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.029 Problem: When making a change in line 1, then in line 2 and then deleting line 1, undo info could be wrong. Only when the changes are undone at once. (Gerhard Hochholzer) Solution: When not saving a line for undo because it was already done before, remember for which entry the last line must be computed. Added ue_getbot_entry pointer for this. When the number of lines changes, adjust the position of newer undo entries.

Also, "containedin" doesn't ignore a transparent item. (Timo Frenay) Solution: When there is a "containedin" argument somewhere, always check for contained items. Don't check for the transparent item but the item it's contained in. Files: src/structs.h, src/syntax.c Patch 6.0.045 Problem: After creating a fold with a Visual selection, another window with the same buffer still has inverted text.

Also output a newline and switch the cursor on. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.0.063 Problem: When 'cpoptions' includes "$", using "cw" to type a ')' on top of the "$" doesn't update syntax highlighting after it. Solution: Stop displaying the "$" when typing a ')' in its position. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.0.064 (extra) Problem: The NSIS install script doesn't work with newer versions of NSIS. The diff feature doesn't work when there isn't a good diff.exe on the system. Solution: Replace the GetParentDir instruction by a user function. Fix a few cosmetic problems. Use defined constants for the version number, so that it's defined in one place only. Only accept the install directory when it ends in "vim".

(Yegappan Lakshmanan) Solution: Correct the area to be redrawn for inserted/deleted lines. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.069 Problem: Using "K" on a word that includes a "!" causes a "No previous command" error, because the "!" is expanded. (Craig Jeffries) Solution: Put a backslash before the "!". Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.070 Problem: Win32: The error message for a failed dynamic linking of a Perl, Ruby, Tcl and Python library is unclear about what went wrong.

Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.080 Problem: When using a session file that has the same file in two windows, the fileinfo() call in do_ecmd() causes a scroll and a hit-enter prompt. (Robert Webb) Solution: Don't scroll this message when 'shortmess' contains 'O'. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.0.081 Problem: After using ":saveas" the new buffer name is added to the Buffers menu with a wrong number. (Chauk-Mean Proum) Solution: Trigger BufFilePre and BufFilePost events for the renamed buffer and BufAdd for the old name (which is with a new buffer). Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.0.082 Problem: When swapping screens in an xterm and there is an (error) message from the vimrc script, the shell prompt is after the message. Solution: Output a newline when there was output on the alternate screen. Also when starting the GUI. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.0.083 Problem: GTK: When compiled without menu support the buttons in a dialog don't have any text.

Files: src/undo.c, src/testdir/test20.in, src/testdir/test20.ok Patch 6.0.111 Problem: The virtcol() function doesn't take care of 'virtualedit'. Solution: Add the column offset when needed. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.112 Problem: The explorer plugin doesn't sort directories with a space or special character after a directory with a shorter name. Solution: Ignore the trailing slash when comparing directory names. (Mike Williams) Files: runtime/plugin/explorer.vim Patch 6.0.113 Problem: ":edit ~/fname" doesn't work if $HOME includes a space. Also, expanding wildcards with the shell may fail. (John Daniel) Solution: Escape spaces with a backslash when needed. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/misc1.c, src/proto/misc1.pro, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.0.114 Problem: Using ":p" with fnamemodify() didn't expand "~/" or "~user/" to a full path. For Win32 the current directory was prepended. (Michael Geddes) Solution: Expand the home directory. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.115 (extra) Problem: Win32: When using a dialog with a textfield it cannot scroll the text. Solution: Add ES_AUTOHSCROLL to the textfield style. (Pedro Gomes) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.0.116 (extra) Problem: MS-Windows NT/2000/XP: filewritable() doesn't work correctly for filesystems that use ACLs. Solution: Use ACL functions to check if a file is writable. (Mike Williams) Files: src/eval.c, src/macros.h, src/os_win32.c, src/proto/os_win32.pro Patch 6.0.117 (extra) Problem: Win32: when disabling the menu, "set lines=999" doesn't use all the available screen space. Solution: Don't subtract the fixed caption height but the real menu height from the available screen space. Also: Avoid recursion in gui_mswin_get_menu_height(). Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.0.118 Problem: When $TMPDIR is a relative path, the temp directory is missing a trailing slash and isn't deleted when Vim exits. (Peter Holm) Solution: Add the slash after expanding the directory to an absolute path. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.119 (depends on patch 6.0.116) Problem: VMS: filewritable() doesn't work properly. Solution: Use the same method as for Unix. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.120 Problem: The conversion to html isn't compatible with XHTML. Solution: Quote the values. (Jess Thrysoee) Files: runtime/syntax/2html.vim Patch 6.0.121 (extra) (depends on patch 6.0.116) Problem: Win32: After patch 6.0.116 Vim doesn't compile with mingw32. Solution: Add an #ifdef HAVE_ACL. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.0.122 (extra) Problem: Win16: Same resize problems as patch 6.0.117 fixed for Win32. And dialog textfield problem from patch 6.0.115. Solution: Set old_menu_height only when used. Add ES_AUTOHSCROLL flag. (Vince Negri) Files: src/gui_w16.c Patch 6.0.123 (depends on patch 6.0.119) Problem: Win16: Compilation problems. Solution: Move "&&" to other lines. (Vince Negri) Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.124 Problem: When using a ":substitute" command that starts with "\=" (evaluated as an expression), "~" was still replaced with the previous substitute string. Solution: Skip the replacement when the substitute string starts with "\=". Also adjust the documentation about doubling backslashes. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, runtime/doc/change.txt Patch 6.0.125 (extra) Problem: Win32: When using the multi_byte_ime feature pressing the shift key would be handled as if a character was entered, thus mappings with a shifted key didn't work. (Charles Campbell) Solution: Ignore pressing the shift, control and alt keys. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.0.126 Problem: The python library was always statically linked. Solution: Link the python library dynamically. (Matthias Klose) Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in Patch 6.0.127 Problem: When using a terminal that swaps screens and the Normal background color has a different background, using an external command may cause the color of the wrong screen to be changed. (Mark Waggoner) Solution: Don't call screen_stop_highlight() in stoptermcap(). Files: src/term.c Patch 6.0.128 Problem: When moving a vertically split window to the far left or right, the scrollbars are not adjusted. (Scott E Lee) When 'mousefocus' is set the mouse pointer wasn't adjusted. Solution: Adjust the scrollbars and the mouse pointer. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.0.129 Problem: When using a very long file name, ":ls" (repeated a few times) causes a crash. Test with "vim `perl -e 'print "A"x1000'`". (Tejeda) Solution: Terminate a string before getting its length in buflist_list(). Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.0.130 Problem: When using ":cprev" while the error window is open, and the new line at the top wraps, the window isn't correctly drawn. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Solution: When redrawing the topline don't scroll twice. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.0.131 Problem: When using bufname() and there are two matches for listed buffers and one match for an unlisted buffer, the unlisted buffer is used. (Aric Blumer) Solution: When there is a match with a listed buffer, don't check for unlisted buffers. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.0.132 Problem: When setting 'iminsert' in the vimrc and using an xterm with two screens the ruler is drawn in the wrong screen. (Igor Goldenberg) Solution: Only draw the ruler when using the right screen. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.133 Problem: When opening another buffer while 'keymap' is set and 'iminsert' is zero, 'iminsert' is set to one unexpectedly. (Igor Goldenberg) Solution: Don't set 'iminsert' as a side effect of defining a ":lmap" mapping. Only do that when 'keymap' is set. Files: src/getchar.c, src/option.c Patch 6.0.134 Problem: When completing ":set tags=" a path with an embedded space causes the completion to stop. (Sektor van Skijlen) Solution: Escape spaces with backslashes, like for ":set path=". Also take backslashes into account when searching for the start of the path to complete (e.g., for 'backupdir' and 'cscopeprg'). Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/option.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.0.135 Problem: Menus that are not supposed to do anything used "<Nul>", which still produced an error beep. When CTRL-O is mapped for Insert mode, ":amenu" commands didn't work in Insert mode. Menu language falls back to English when $LANG ends in "@euro". Solution: Use "<Nop>" for a menu item that doesn't do anything, just like mappings. Use ":anoremenu" instead of ":amenu". Ignore "@euro" in the locale name. Files: runtime/makemenu.vim, runtime/menu.vim, src/menu.c Patch 6.0.136 Problem: When completing in Insert mode, a mapping could be unexpectedly applied. Solution: Don't use mappings when checking for a typed character. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0.137 Problem: GUI: When using the find or find/replace dialog from Insert mode, the input mode is stopped. Solution: Don't use the input method status when the main window doesn't have focus. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.0.138 Problem: GUI: When using the find or find/replace dialog from Insert mode, the text is inserted when CTRL-O is mapped. (Andre Pang) When opening the dialog again, a whole word search isn't recognized. When doing "replace all" a whole word search was never done. Solution: Don't put a search or replace command in the input buffer, execute it directly. Recognize "\<" and "\>" after removing "\V". Add "\<" and "\>" also for "replace all". Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.0.139 Problem: When stopping 'wildmenu' completion, the statusline of the bottom-left vertically split window isn't redrawn. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Solution: Redraw all the bottom statuslines. Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/proto/screen.pro, src/screen.c Patch 6.0.140 Problem: Memory allocated for local mappings and abbreviations is leaked when the buffer is wiped out. Solution: Clear the local mappings when deleting a buffer. Files: src/buffer.c, src/getchar.c, src/proto/getchar.pro, src/vim.h Patch 6.0.141 Problem: When using ":enew" in an empty buffer, some buffer-local things are not cleared. b:keymap_name is not set. Solution: Clear user commands and mappings local to the buffer when re-using the current buffer. Reload the keymap. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.0.142 Problem: When Python is linked statically, loading dynamic extensions might fail. Solution: Add an extra linking flag when needed. (Andrew Rodionoff) Files: src/configure.in, src/auto/configure Patch 6.0.143 Problem: When a syntax item includes a line break in a pattern, the syntax may not be updated properly when making a change. Solution: Add the "linebreaks" argument to ":syn sync". Files: runtime/doc/syntax.txt, src/screen.c, src/structs.h, src/syntax.c Patch 6.0.144 Problem: After patch 6.0.088 redoing "veU" doesn't work. Solution: Don't add the "U" to the redo buffer, it will be used as an undo command. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.145 Problem: When Vim can't read any input it might get stuck. When redirecting stdin and stderr Vim would not read commands from a file. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: When repeatedly trying to read a character when it's not possible, exit Vim. When stdin and stderr are not a tty, still try reading from them, but don't do a blocking wait. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.0.146 Problem: When 'statusline' contains "%{'-'}" this results in a zero. (Milan Vancura) Solution: Don't handle numbers with a minus as a number, they were not displayed anyway. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.0.147 Problem: It's not easy to mark a Vim version as being modified. The new license requires this. Solution: Add the --modified-by argument to configure and the MODIFIED_BY define. It's used in the intro screen and the ":version" output. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/config.h.in, src/feature.h, src/version.c Patch 6.0.148 Problem: After "p" in an empty line, `[ goes to the second character. (Kontra Gergely) Solution: Don't increment the column number in an empty line. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.149 Problem: The pattern "$.\{-}$" causes a hang. When using a search pattern that causes a stack overflow to be detected Vim could still hang. Solution: Correctly report "operand could be empty" when using "\{-}". Check for "out_of_stack" inside loops to avoid a hang. Files: src/regexp.c Patch 6.0.150 Problem: When using a multibyte encoding, patch 6.0.148 causes "p" to work like "P". (Sung-Hyun Nam) Solution: Compute the byte length of a multibyte character. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.151 Problem: Redrawing the status line and ruler can be wrong when it contains multibyte characters. Solution: Use character width and byte length correctly. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.0.152 Problem: strtrans() could hang on an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence. Solution: Skip over illegal bytes. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/charset.c Patch 6.0.153 Problem: When using (illegal) double-byte characters and Vim syntax highlighting Vim can crash. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Increase a pointer over a character instead of a byte. Files: src/regexp.c Patch 6.0.154 Problem: MS-DOS and MS-Windows: The menu entries for xxd don't work when there is no xxd in the path. When converting back from Hex the filetype may remain "xxd" if it is not detected. Solution: When xxd is not in the path use the one in the runtime directory, where the install program has put it. Clear the 'filetype' option before detecting the new value. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0.155 Problem: Mac: compilation problems in ui.c after patch 6.0.145. (Axel Kielhorn) Solution: Don't call mch_inchar() when NO_CONSOLE is defined. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.0.156 Problem: Starting Vim with the -b argument and two files, ":next" doesn't set 'binary' in the second file, like Vim 5.7. (Norman Diamond) Solution: Set the global value for 'binary'. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.157 Problem: When defining a user command with "-complete=dir" files will also be expanded. Also, "-complete=mapping" doesn't appear to work. (Michael Naumann) Solution: Use the expansion flags defined with the user command. Handle expanding mappings specifically. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.0.158 Problem: When getting the warning for a file being changed outside of Vim and reloading the file, the 'readonly' option is reset, even when the permissions didn't change. (Marcel Svitalsky) Solution: Keep 'readonly' set when reloading a file and the permissions didn't change. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.159 Problem: Wildcard expansion for ":emenu" also shows separators. Solution: Skip menu separators for ":emenu", ":popup" and ":tearoff". Also, don't handle ":tmenu" as if it was ":tearoff". And leave out the alternatives with "&" included. Files: src/menu.c Patch 6.0.160 Problem: When compiling with GCC 3.0.2 and using the "-O2" argument, the optimizer causes a problem that makes Vim crash. Solution: Add a configure check to avoid "-O2" for this version of gcc. Files: src/configure.in, src/auto/configure Patch 6.0.161 (extra) Problem: Win32: Bitmaps don't work with signs. Solution: Make it possible to use bitmaps with signs. (Muraoka Taro) Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/feature.h, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_x11.c, src/proto/gui_w32.pro, src/proto/gui_x11.pro Patch 6.0.162 Problem: Client-server: An error message for a wrong expression appears in the server instead of the client. Solution: Pass the error message from the server to the client. Also adjust the example code. (Flemming Madsen) Files: src/globals.h, src/if_xcmdsrv.c, src/main.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/proto/if_xcmdsrv.pro, src/proto/os_mswin.pro, runtime/doc/eval.txt, runtime/tools/xcmdsrv_client.c Patch 6.0.163 Problem: When using a GUI dialog, a file name is sometimes used like it was a directory. Solution: Separate path and file name properly. For GTK, Motif and Athena concatenate directory and file name for the default selection. Files: src/diff.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/gui_athena.c, src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_motif.c, src/message.c Patch 6.0.164 Problem: After patch 6.0.135 the menu entries for pasting don't work in Insert and Visual mode. (Muraoka Taro) Solution: Add <script> to allow script-local mappings. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0.165 Problem: Using --remote and executing locally gives unavoidable error messages. Solution: Add --remote-silent and --remote-wait-silent to silently execute locally. For Win32 there was no error message when a server didn't exist. Files: src/eval.c, src/if_xcmdsrv.c, src/main.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/proto/if_xcmdsrv.pro, src/proto/os_mswin.pro Patch 6.0.166 Problem: GUI: There is no way to avoid dialogs to pop up. Solution: Add the 'c' flag to 'guioptions': Use console dialogs. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/option.h, src/message.c Patch 6.0.167 Problem: When 'fileencodings' is "latin2" some characters in the help files are displayed wrong. Solution: Force the 'fileencoding' for the help files to be "latin1". Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.168 Problem: ":%s/\n/#/" doesn't replace at an empty line. (Bruce DeVisser) Solution: Don't skip matches after joining two lines. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.0.169 Problem: When run as evim and the GUI can't be started we get stuck in a terminal without menus in Insert mode. Solution: Exit when using "evim" and "gvim -y" when the GUI can't be started. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.0.170 Problem: When printing double-width characters the size of tabs after them is wrong. (Muraoka Taro) Solution: Correctly compute the column after a double-width character. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.0.171 Problem: With 'keymodel' including "startsel", in Insert mode after the end of a line, shift-Left does not move the cursor. (Steve Hall) Solution: CTRL-O doesn't move the cursor left, need to do that explicitly. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0.172 Problem: CTRL-Q doesn't replace CTRL-V after CTRL-X in Insert mode while it does in most other situations. Solution: Make CTRL-X CTRL-Q work like CTRL-X CTRL-V in Insert mode. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0.173 Problem: When using "P" to insert a line break the cursor remains past the end of the line. Solution: Check for the cursor being beyond the end of the line. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.174 Problem: After using "gd" or "gD" the search direction for "n" may still be backwards. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Reset the search direction to forward. Files: src/normal.c, src/search.c, src/proto/search.pro Patch 6.0.175 Problem: ":help /\z(\)" doesn't work. (Thomas Koehler) Solution: Double the backslashes. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.0.176 Problem: When killed by a signal autocommands are still triggered as if nothing happened. Solution: Add the v:dying variable to allow autocommands to work differently when a deadly signal has been trapped. Files: src/eval.c, src/os_unix.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.0.177 Problem: When 'commentstring' is empty and 'foldmethod' is "marker", "zf" doesn't work. (Thomas S. Urban) Solution: Add the marker even when 'commentstring' is empty. Files: src/fold.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.0.178 Problem: Uninitialized memory read from xp_backslash field. Solution: Initialize xp_backslash field properly. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/misc1.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.0.179 Problem: Win32: When displaying UTF-8 characters may read uninitialized memory. Solution: Add utfc_ptr2len_check_len() to avoid reading past the end of a string. Files: src/mbyte.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro, src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.0.180 Problem: Expanding environment variables in a string that ends in a backslash could go past the end of the string. Solution: Detect the trailing backslash. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.0.181 Problem: When using ":cd dir" memory was leaked. Solution: Free the allocated memory. Also avoid an uninitialized memory read. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.0.182 Problem: When using a regexp on multibyte characters, could try to read a character before the start of the line. Solution: Don't decrement a pointer to before the start of the line. Files: src/regexp.c Patch 6.0.183 Problem: Leaking memory when ":func!" redefines a function. Solution: Free the function name when it's not used. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.184 Problem: Leaking memory when expanding option values. Solution: Don't always copy the expanded option into allocated memory. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.185 Problem: Crash in Vim when pasting a selection in another application, on a 64 bit machine. Solution: Fix the format for an Atom to 32 bits. (Peter Derr) Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.0.186 Problem: X11: Three warnings when compiling the client-server code. Solution: Add a typecast to unsigned char. Files: src/if_xcmdsrv.c Patch 6.0.187 Problem: "I" in Visual mode and then "u" reports too many changes. (Andrew Stryker) "I" in Visual linewise mode adjusts the indent for no apparent reason. Solution: Only save those lines for undo that are changed. Don't change the indent after inserting in Visual linewise mode. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.188 Problem: Win32: After patch 6.0.161 signs defined in the vimrc file don't work. Solution: Initialize the sign icons after initializing the GUI. (Vince Negri) Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_x11.c Patch 6.0.189 Problem: The size of the Visual area isn't always displayed when scrolling ('ruler' off, 'showcmd' on). Also not when using a search command. (Sylvain Hitier) Solution: Redisplay the size of the selection after showing the mode. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.0.190 Problem: GUI: when 'mouse' is empty a click with the middle button still moves the cursor. Solution: Paste at the cursor position instead of the mouse position. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.191 Problem: When no servers are available serverlist() gives an error instead of returning an empty string. (Hari Krishna) Solution: Don't give an error message. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.192 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set, "ylj" goes to the wrong column. (Andrew Nikitin) Solution: Reset the flag that w_virtcol is valid when moving the cursor back to the start of the operated area. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.193 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set, col(".") after the end of the line should return one extra. Solution: Add one to the column. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.194 Problem: "--remote-silent" tries to send a reply to the client, like it was "--remote-wait". Solution: Properly check for the argument. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.0.195 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and a search starts in virtual space ":call search('x')" goes to the wrong position. (Eric Long) Solution: Reset coladd when finding a match. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.0.196 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set, 'selection' is "exclusive" and visually selecting part of a tab at the start of a line, "x" joins it with the previous line. Also, when the selection spans more than one line the whole tab is deleted. Solution: Take coladd into account when adjusting for 'selection' being "exclusive". Also expand a tab into spaces when deleting more than one line. Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c Patch 6.0.197 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and 'selection' is "exclusive", "v$x" doesn't delete the last character in the line. (Eric Long) Solution: Don't reset the inclusive flag. (Helmut Stiegler) Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.198 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and 'showbreak' is not empty, moving the cursor over the line break doesn't work properly. (Eric Long) Solution: Make getviscol() and getviscol2() use getvvcol() to obtain the virtual cursor position. Adjust coladvance() and oneleft() to skip over the 'showbreak' characters. Files: src/edit.c, src/misc2.c Patch 6.0.199 Problem: Multi-byte: could use iconv() after calling iconv_end(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Stop converting input and output stream after calling iconv_end(). Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.0.200 Problem: A script that starts with "#!perl" isn't recognized as a Perl filetype. Solution: Ignore a missing path in a script header. Also, speed up recognizing scripts by simplifying the patterns used. Files: runtime/scripts.vim Patch 6.0.201 Problem: When scrollbinding and doing a long jump, switching windows jumps to another position in the file. Scrolling a few lines at a time is OK. (Johannes Zellner) Solution: When setting w_topline reset the flag that indicates w_botline is valid. Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.0.202 Problem: The "icon=" argument for the menu command to define a toolbar icon with a file didn't work for GTK. (Christian J. Robinson) For Motif and Athena a full path was required. Solution: Search the icon file using the specified path. Expand environment variables in the file name. Files: src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_x11.c Patch 6.0.203 Problem: Can change 'fileformat' even though 'modifiable' is off. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Correct check for kind of set command. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.204 Problem: ":unlet" doesn't work for variables with curly braces. (Thomas Scott Urban) Solution: Handle variable names with curly braces properly. (Vince Negri) Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.205 (extra) Problem: "gvim -f" still forks when using the batch script to start Vim. Solution: Add an argument to "start" to use a foreground session (Michael Geddes) Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.0.206 Problem: Unix: if expanding a wildcard in a file name results in a wildcard character and there are more parts in the path with a wildcard, it is expanded again. Windows: ":edit \[abc]" could never edit the file "[abc]". Solution: Don't expand wildcards in already expanded parts. Don't remove backslashes used to escape the special meaning of a wildcard; can edit "[abc]" if '[' is removed from 'isfname'. Files: src/misc1.c, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.0.207 (extra) Problem: Win32: The shortcuts and start menu entries let Vim startup in the desktop directory, which is not very useful. Solution: Let shortcuts start Vim in $HOME or $HOMEDIR$HOMEPATH. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.0.208 Problem: GUI: When using a keymap and the cursor is not blinking, CTRL-^ in Insert mode doesn't directly change the cursor color. (Alex Solow) Solution: Force a redraw of the cursor after CTRL-^. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0.209 Problem: GUI GTK: After selecting a 'guifont' with the font dialog there are redraw problems for multibyte characters. Solution: Separate the font dialog from setting the new font name to avoid that "" is used to find wide and bold fonts. When redrawing extra characters for the bold trick, take care of UTF-8 characters. Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/option.c, src/proto/gui.pro, src/proto/gui_gtk_x11.pro Patch 6.0.210 Problem: After patch 6.0.167 it's no longer possible to edit a help file in another encoding than latin1. Solution: Let the "++enc=" argument overrule the encoding. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.211 Problem: When reading a file fails, the buffer is empty, but it might still be possible to write it with ":w" later. The original file is lost then. (Steve Amerige) Solution: Set the 'readonly' option for the buffer. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.212 Problem: GUI GTK: confirm("foo", "") causes a crash. Solution: Don't make a non-existing button the default. Add a default "OK" button if none is specified. Files: src/eval.c, src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.0.213 Problem: When a file name contains unprintable characters, CTRL-G and other commands don't work well. Solution: Turn unprintable into printable characters. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/buffer.c, src/charset.c Patch 6.0.214 Problem: When there is a buffer without a name, empty entries appear in the jumplist saved in the viminfo file. Solution: Don't write jumplist entries without a file name. Files: src/mark.c Patch 6.0.215 Problem: After using "/" from Visual mode the Paste menu and Toolbar entries don't work. Pasting with the middle mouse doesn't work and modeless selection doesn't work. Solution: Use the command line mode menus and use the mouse like in the command line. Files: src/gui.c, src/menu.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.0.216 Problem: After reloading a file, displayed in another window than the current one, which was changed outside of Vim the part of the file around the cursor set by autocommands may be displayed, but jumping back to the original cursor position when entering the window again. Solution: Restore the topline of the window. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.217 Problem: When getting help from a help file that was used before, an empty unlisted buffer remains in the buffer list. (Eric Long) Solution: Wipe out the buffer used to do the tag jump from. Files: src/buffer.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/proto/buffer.pro Patch 6.0.218 Problem: With explorer plugin: "vim -o filename dirname" doesn't load the explorer window until entering the window. Solution: Call s:EditDir() for each window after starting up. Files: runtime/plugin/explorer.vim Patch 6.0.219 Problem: ":setlocal" and ":setglobal", without arguments, display terminal options.

(Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/message.c Patch 6.1b.018 (depends on 6.1b.006) Problem: When entering the encryption key, special keys may still reveal the typed characters. Solution: Make sure stars are used or nothing is shown in all cases. Files: src/digraph.c, src/getchar.c, src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.1b.019 (depends on 6.1b.005) Problem: A search pattern that takes a long time slows down typing when 'incsearch' is set. Solution: Pass SEARCH_PEEK to dosearch(). Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.1b.020 Problem: When using the matchit plugin, "%" finds a match on the "end" of a ":syntax region" command in Vim scripts. Solution: Skip over ":syntax region" commands by setting b:match_skip. Files: runtime/ftplugin/vim.vim Patch 6.1b.021 Problem: when 'mousefocus' is set, CTRL-W CTRL-] sometimes doesn't warp the pointer to the new window. (Robert Webb) Solution: Don't reset need_mouse_correct when checking the timestamp of a file. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.1b.022 Problem: With lots of folds "j" does not obey 'scrolloff' properly. (Srinath Avadhanula) Solution: Go to end of the fold before counting context lines. Files: src/move.c Patch 6.1b.023 Problem: On MS-Windows system() may cause checking timestamps, because Vim loses and gains input focus, while this doesn't happen on Unix. Solution: Don't check timestamps while system() is busy. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c, src/fileio.c, src/globals.h, src/misc1.c Patch 6.1b.024 (extra) Problem: Gettext 0.11 complains that "sjis" is not a standard name. Solution: Use "cp932" instead. Files: src/po/sjiscorr.c Patch 6.1b.025 (extra) Problem: Win32: When closing gvim while it is minimized and has a changed file, the file-changed dialog pops up in a corner of the screen. Solution: Put the dialog in the middle of the screen. Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.1b.026 Problem: When 'diffopt' contains 'iwhite' but not 'icase': differences in case are not highlighted properly. (Gerhard Hochholzer) Solution: Don't ignore case when ignoring white space differences. Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.1b.027 Problem: "vim --remote +" may cause a crash. Solution: Check for missing file name argument. (Martin Kahlert) Files: src/main.c Patch 6.1b.028 (extra) Problem: Win16: Can't compile after patch 6.1b.025. Solution: Add code specifically for Win16. (Vince Negri) Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.1b.029 Problem: Win32: When a directory on an NTFS partition is read/execute (no delete,modify,write) and the file has modify rights, trying to write the file deletes it. Making the file read/write/execute (not delete) solves it. (Mark Canup) Solution: Use the Unix code to check for a writable directory. If not, then make a backup copy and overwrite the file. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.1b.030 (extra) Problem: Mac: small mistake in the build script and prototypes. Solution: Fix the build script and add the prototypes. (Axel Kielhorn) Files: src/os_mac.build, src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.1b.031 (extra) Problem: Win32 GUI: ":set guifont=" doesn't set 'guifont' to the resulting font name. (Vlad Sandrini) Solution: Put the code back in gui_mch_init_font() to form the font name out of the logfont. Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.1b.032 Problem: Athena: Setting a color scheme before the GUI has started causes a crash. (Todd Blumer) Solution: Don't try using color names that haven't been set yet. Files: src/gui_athena.c Patch 6.1b.033 Problem: When using a count after a ":s" command may get ml_get errors. (Dietmar Lang) Solution: Check that the resulting range does not go past the end of the buffer. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.1b.034 Problem: After sourcing mswin.vim, when using <C-S-Right> after auto-indenting and then <Del>, get warning for allocating ridiculous amount of memory. (Dave Delgreco) Solution: Adjust the start of the Visual area when deleting the auto-indent. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.1b.035 Problem: When using evim, dropping a file on Vim and then double clicking on a word, it is changed to "i". (Merlin Hansen) Solution: Reset need_start_insertmode after editing the file. Files: src/ex_docmd.c ============================================================================== VERSION 6.2 version-6.2* This section is about improvements made between version 6.1 and 6.2. This is mainly a bug-fix release. There are also a few new features. Main new features: - Support for GTK 2. (Daniel Elstner) - Support for editing Arabic text. (Nadim Shaikli & Isam Bayazidi) - ":try" command and exception handling. (Servatius Brandt) - Support for the neXtaw GUI toolkit (mostly like Athena). (Alexey Froloff) - Cscope support for Win32. (Khorev Sergey) - Support for PostScript printing in various 8-bit encodings. (Mike Williams) Changed changed-6.2 ------- Removed the scheme indent file, the internal Lisp indenting works well now. Moved the GvimEXt, OleVim and VisVim directories into the "src" directory. This is more consistent with how xxd is handled. The VisVim.dll file is installed in the top directory, next to gvimext.dll, instead of in a subdirectory "VisVim". Fixes that NSIS was uninstalling it from the wrong directory. Removed the art indent file, it didn't do anything. submatch() returned line breaks with CR instead of LF. Changed the Win32 Makefiles to become more uniform and compile gvimext.dll. (Dan Sharp) 'cindent': Align a "//" comment with a "//" comment in a previous line. (Helmut Stiegler) Previously only for xterm-like terminals parent widgets were followed to find the title and icon label. Now do this for all terminal emulators. Made it possible to recognize backslashes for "%" matching. The 'M' flag in 'cpoptions' disables it. (Haakon Riiser) Removed the Make_tcc.mak makefile for Turbo C. It didn't work and we probably can't make it work (the compiler runs out of memory). Even though the documentation refers to keywords, "[ CTRL-D" was using 'isident' to find matches. Changed it to use 'iskeyword'. Also applies to other commands that search for defined words in included files such as ":dsearch", "[D" and "[d". Made 'keywordprg' global-local. (Christian Robinson) Enabled the Netbeans interface by default. Reversed the configure argument from "--enable-netbeans" to "--disable-netbeans". Added added-6.2 ----- New options: 'arabic' 'arabicshape' 'ambiwidth' 'autochdir' 'casemap' 'copyindent' 'cscopequickfix' 'preserveindent' 'printencoding' 'rightleftcmd' 'termbidi' 'toolbariconsize' 'winfixheight' New keymaps: Serbian (Aleksandar Veselinovic) Chinese Pinyin (Fredrik Roubert) Esperanto (Antoine J.

(Nam SungHyun) Norwegian (Øyvind Holm) Serbian (Aleksandar Jelenak) New message translation for Norwegian. (Øyvind Holm) New color scheme: desert (Hans Fugal) Arabic specific features. 'arabicshape', 'termbidi', 'arabic' and 'rightleftcmd' options. (Nadim Shaikli & Isam Bayazidi) Support for neXtaw GUI toolkit, mostly like Athena. (Alexey Froloff) Win32: cscope support. (Khorev Sergey) VMS: various improvements to documentation and makefiles. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Added "x" key to the explorer plugin: execute the default action. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Compile gvimext.dll with MingW. (Rene de Zwart) Add the "tohtml.vim" plugin. It defines the ":TOhtml" user command, an easy way to convert text to HTML. Added ":try" / ":catch" / ":finally" / ":endtry" commands. Add E999 numbers to all error messages, so that they can be caught by the number. (Servatius Brandt) Moved part of ex_docmd.c to the new ex_eval.c source file. Include support for GTK+ 2.2.x (Daniel Elstner) Adds the "~" register: drag & drop text. Adds the 'toolbariconsize' option. Add -Dalloca when running lint to work around a problem with alloca() prototype. When selecting an item in the error window to jump to, take some effort to find an ordinary window to show the file in (not a preview window). Support for PostScript printing of various 8-bit encodings. (Mike Williams) inputdialog() accepts a third argument that is used when the dialog is cancelled. Makes it possible to see a difference between cancelling and entering nothing. Included Aap recipes. Can be used to update Vim to the latest version, building and installing. "/" option in 'cinoptions': extra indent for comment lines. (Helmut Stiegler) Vim variable "v:register" and functions setreg(), getreg() and getregtype(). (Michael Geddes) "v" flag in 'cpoptions': Leave text on screen with backspace in Insert mode. (Phillip Vandry) Dosinst.exe also finds gvimext.dll in the "GvimExt" directory. Useful when running install in the "src" directory for testing. Support tag files that were sorted with case ignored. (Flemming Madsen) When completing a wildcard in a leading path element, as in "..//Makefile", only the last part ("Makefile") was listed. Support custom defined command line completion. (Flemming Madsen) Also recognize "rxvt" as an xterm-like terminal. (Tomas Styblo) Proper X11 session management. Fixes that the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF event was not used by popular desktops. (Neil Bird) Not used for Gnome 2, it has its own handling. Support BOR, DEBUG and SPAWNO arguments for the Borland 3 Makefile. (Walter Briscoe) Support page breaks for printing. Adds the "formfeed" field in 'printoptions'. (Mike Williams) Mac OSX: multi-language support: iconv and gettext. (Muraoka Taro, Axel Kielhorn) "\Z" flag in patterns: ignore differences in combining characters. (Ron Aaron) Added 'preserveindent' and 'copyindent' options. They use existing white space characters instead of using Tabs as much as possible. (Chris Leishman) Updated Unicode tables to Unicode 4.0. (Raphael Finkel) Support for the mouse wheel in rxvt. (AIDA Shinra) Win32: Added ":8" file modifier to get short filename. Test50 tests the ":8" expansion on Win32 systems. (Michael Geddes) 'cscopequickfix' option: Open quickfix window for Cscope commands. Also cleanup the code for giving messages. (Khorev Sergey) GUI: Support more than 222 columns for mouse positions. ":stopinsert" command: Don't return to Insert mode. "interrupt" command for debug mode. Useful for simulating CTRL-C. (Servatius Brandt) Fixed fixed-6.2* ----- Removed a few unused #defines from config.h.in, os_os2_cfg.h and os_vms_conf.h. The Vim icons in PNG format didn't have a transparent background. (Greg Roelofs) Fixed a large number of spelling mistakes in the docs. (Adri Verhoef) The #defines for prototype generation were causing trouble. Changed them to typedefs. A new version of libintl.h uses __asm__, which confuses cproto. Define a dummy __asm__ macro. When 'virtualedit' is set can't move to halfway an unprintable character. Cripples CTRL-V selection. (Taro Muraoka) Allow moving to halfway an unprintable character. Don't let getvvcol() change the pos->coladd argument. When a tab wraps to the next line, 'listchars' is set and 'foldcolumn' is non-zero, only one character of the foldcolumn is highlighted. (Muraoka Taro) When using ":catch" without an argument Vim crashes. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) When no argument given use the "." pattern. Win32: When gvim.exe is started from a shortcut with the window style property set to maximize Vim doesn't start with a maximized window. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Open the window with the default size and don't call ShowWindow() again when it's already visible. (Helmut Stiegler) gui_gtk.c used MAX, but it's undefined to avoid a conflict with system header files. Win32: When closing a window from a mapping some pixels remain on the statusline. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) A column number in an errorformat that goes beyond the end of the line may cause a crash. ":throw 'test'" crashes Vim. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) The file selector's scrollbar colors are not set after doing a ":hi Scrollbar guifg=color". And the file selector's colors are not changed by the colorscheme command. (David Harrison) Motif: When compiling with FEAT_FOOTER defined, the text area gets a few pixels extra space on the right. Remove the special case in gui_get_base_width(). (David Harrison) Using CTRL-R CTRL-P in Insert mode puts the '] mark in the wrong position. (Helmut Stiegler) When 'formatoptions' includes "awct" a non-comment wasn't auto-formatted. Using a "--cmd" argument more than 10 times caused a crash. DEC style mouse support didn't work if the page field is not empty. (Uribarri) "vim -l one two" did only set 'lisp' in the first file. Vi does it for every file. ":set tw<" didn't work. Was checking for '^' instead of '<'. In ":hardcopy > %.ps" the "%" was not expanded to the current filename. Made ":redraw" also update the Visual area. When a not implemented command, such as ":perl", has wrong arguments the less important error was reported, giving the user the idea the command could work. On non-Unix systems autocommands for writing did not attempt a match with the short file name, causing a pattern like "a/b" to fail. VMS: e_screenmode was not defined and a few other fixes for VMS. (Zoltan Arpadffy) redraw_msg() depended on FEAT_ARABIC instead of FEAT_RIGHTLEFT. (Walter Briscoe) Various changes for the PC Makefiles. (Walter Briscoe) Use _truename() instead of our own code to expand a file name into a full path. (Walter Briscoe) Error in filetype check for /etc/modutils. (Lubomir Host) Cscope interface: allocated a buffer too small. Win16: remove a trailing backslash from a path when obtaining the permission flags. (Vince Negri) When searching for tags with case ignored Vim could hang. When searching directories with a stopdir could get a crash. Did not re-allocate enough memory. (Vince Negri) A user command may cause a crash. Don't use the command index when it's negative. (Vince Negri) putenv() didn't work for MingW and Cygwin. (Dan Sharp) Many functions were common between os_msdos.c and os_win16.c. Use os_msdos.c for compiling the Win16 version and remove the functions from os_win16.c. (Vince Negri) For terminals that behave like an xterm but didn't have a name that is recognized, the window title would not always be set. When syntax highlighting is off ":hardcopy" could still attempt printing colors. Crash when using ":catch" without an argument. (Servatius Brandt) Win32: ":n #" doubled the backslashes. Fixed Arabic shaping for the command line. (Nadim Shaikli) Avoid splitting up a string displayed on the command line into individual characters, it breaks Arabic shaping. Updated Cygwin and MingW makefiles to use more dependencies. (Dan Sharp) 2html.vim didn't work with 'nomagic' set. When a local argument list is used and doing ":only" Vim could crash later. (Muraoka Taro) When using "%P" in 'statusline' and the fillchar is "-", a percentage of 3% could result in "-3%". Also avoid changing a space inside a filename to the fill character. MSwin: Handling of backslashes and double quotes for command line arguments was not like what other applications do. (Walter Briscoe) Test32 sometimes didn't work, because test11.out was written as TEST11.OUT. Avoid pointer conversions warnings for Borland C 5.5 in dosinst.c and uninstal.c. More improvements for Make_bc3.mak file. (Walter Briscoe) When ":syn sync linebreaks=1" is used, editing the first line caused a redraw of the whole screen. Making translated messages didn't work, if_perl.xs wasn't found. (Vlad Sandrini) Motif and Athena: moving Vim to the foreground didn't uniconify it. Use XMapRaised() instead of XRaiseWindow(). (Srikanth Sankaran) When using ":ptag" in a window where 'scrollbind' is set the preview window would also have 'scrollbind' set. Also reset 'foldcolumn' and 'diff'. Various commands that split a window took over 'scrollbind', which is hardly ever desired. Esp. for "q:" and ":copen". Mostly reset 'scrollbind' when splitting a window. When 'shellslash' is set in the vimrc file the first entry of ":scriptnames" would still have backslashes. Entries in the quickfix list could also have wrong (back)slashes. Win32: printer dialog texts were not translated. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) When using a multibyte character with a K_SPECIAL byte or a special key code with "--remote-send" the received byte sequence was mangled. Put it in the typeahead buffer instead of the input buffer. Win32: The cursor position was incorrect after changing cursor shape. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto). Win32: When 'encoding' is not the current codepage the title could not be set to non-ascii characters. "vim -d scp://machine/file1 scp://machine/file2" did not work, there was only one window. Fixed the netrw plugin not to wipe out the buffer if it is displayed in other windows. "/$" caused "e" in last column of screen to disappear, a highlighted blank was displayed instead. ":s/ \ze\n//e" removed the line break and introduced arbitrary text. Was using the line count including what matched after the "\ze". Using the "c" flag with ":s" changed the behavior when a line break is replaced and "\@<=" is used. Without "c" a following match was not found. ":%s/\vA@<=\nB@=//gce" got stuck on "A\nB" when entering "n". VMS: add HAVE_STRFTIME in the config file. (Zoltan Arpadffy) When a delete prompts if a delete should continue when yanking is not possible, restore msg_silent afterwards. ":sign" did not complain about a missing argument. When adding or deleting a sign 'hlsearch' highlighting could disappear. Use the generic functions for updating signs. On MS-Windows NT, 2K and XP don't use command.com but cmd.exe for testing. Makes the tests work on more systems. In the DOS tests don't create "/tmp" to avoid an error. Mac classic: Problems with reading files with CR vs CR/LF. Rely on the library version of fgets() to work correctly for Metrowerks 2.2. (Axel Kielhorn) When typing a password a "" was shown for each byte instead of for each character. Added multibyte handling to displaying the stars. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) When using Perl 5.6 accessing $curbuf doesn't work. Add an #ifdef to use different code for 5.6 and 5.8. (Dan Sharp) MingW and Cygwin: Don't strip the debug executable. (Dan Sharp) An assignment to a variable with curlies that includes "==" doesn't work. Skip over the curlies before searching for an "=". (Vince Negri) When cancelling the selection of alternate matching tags the tag stack index could be advanced too far, resulting in an error message when using CTRL-T. Patch 6.1.001 Problem: When formatting UTF-8 text it might be wrapped at a space that is followed by a composing character. (Raphael Finkel) Also correct a display error for removing a composing char on top of a space. Solution: Check for a composing character on a space. Files: src/edit.c, src/misc1.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.1.002 (extra) Problem: Win32: after a ":popup" command the mouse pointer stays hidden. Solution: Unhide the mouse pointer before showing the menu. Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.1.003 Problem: When 'laststatus' is zero and there is a vertical split, the vertical separator is drawn in the command line. (Srikant Sankaran) Solution: Don't draw the vertical separator where there is no statusline. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.1.004 Problem: Unicode 3.2 changes width and composing of a few characters. (Markus Kuhn) Solution: Adjust the Unicode functions for the character width and composing characters. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.1.005 Problem: When using more than 50 items in 'statusline' Vim might crash. (Steve Hall) Solution: Increment itemcnt in check_stl_option(). (Flemming Madsen) Files: src/option.c Patch 6.1.006 Problem: When using "P" in Visual mode to put linewise selected text, the wrong text is deleted. (Jakub Turski) Solution: Put the text before the Visual area and correct the text to be deleted for the inserted lines. Also fix that "p" of linewise text in Visual block mode doesn't work correctly. Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c Patch 6.1.007 Problem: Using ":filetype plugin off" when filetype plugins were never enabled causes an error message. (Yiu Wing) Solution: Use ":silent!" to avoid the error message. Files: runtime/ftplugof.vim Patch 6.1.008 Problem: The "%" command doesn't ignore \" inside a string, it's seen as the end of the string. (Ken Clark) Solution: Skip a double quote preceded by an odd number of backslashes. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.1.009 Problem: Vim crashes when using a huge number for the maxwid value in a statusline. (Robert M. Nowotniak) Solution: Check for an overflow that makes maxwid negative. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.1.010 Problem: Searching backwards for a question mark with "?\?" doesn't work. (Alan Isaac) Same problem in ":s?\??" and ":g?\??". Solution: Change the "\?" in a pattern to "?" when using "?" as delimiter. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/proto/regexp.pro, src/regexp.c, src/search.c, src/syntax.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.1.011 Problem: XIM: doesn't work correctly when 'number' is set. Also, a focus problem when selecting candidates. Solution: Fix the XIM problems. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/mbyte.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.1.012 Problem: A system() call might fail if fread() does CR-LF to LF translation. Solution: Open the output file in binary mode. (Pavol Huhas) Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.1.013 Problem: Win32: The default for 'printexpr' doesn't work when there are special characters in 'printdevice'. Solution: Add double quotes around the device name. (Mike Williams) Files: runtime/doc/option.txt, src/option.c Patch 6.1.014 Problem: An operator like "r" used in Visual block mode doesn't use 'virtualedit' when it's set to "block". Solution: Check for 'virtualedit' being active in Visual block mode when the operator was started. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/globals.h, src/misc2.c, src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/undo.c Patch 6.1.015 Problem: After patch 6.1.014 can't compile with tiny features. (Christian J. Robinson) Solution: Add the missing define of virtual_op. Files: src/vim.h Patch 6.1.016 (extra) Problem: Win32: Outputting Hebrew or Arabic text might have a problem with reversing. Solution: Replace the RevOut() function with ETO_IGNORELANGUAGE. (Ron Aaron) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.1.017 Problem: Cygwin: After patch 6.1.012 Still doesn't do binary file I/O. (Pavol Juhas) Solution: Define BINARY_FILE_IO for Cygwin. Files: src/os_unix.h Patch 6.1.018 Problem: Error message when using cterm highlighting. (Leonardo Di Lella) Solution: Remove a backslash before a question mark. Files: runtime/syntax/cterm.vim Patch 6.1.019 (extra) Problem: Win32: File name is messed up when editing just a drive name. (Walter Briscoe) Solution: Append a NUL after the drive name. (Vince Negri) Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.1.020 Problem: col("'>") returns a huge number after using Visual line mode. Solution: Return the length of the line instead. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.1.021 (depends on patch 6.1.009) Problem: Vim crashes when using a huge number for the minwid value in a statusline. (Robert M. Nowotniak) Solution: Check for an overflow that makes minwid negative. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.1.022 Problem: Grabbing the status line above the command-line window works like the bottom status line was grabbed. (Jim Battle) Solution: Make it possible to grab the status line above the command-line window, so that it can be resized. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.1.023 (extra) Problem: VMS: running tests doesn't work properly. Solution: Adjust the makefile. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: src/testdir/Make_vms.mms Patch 6.1.024 Problem: When header files use a new syntax for declaring functions, Vim can't figure out missing prototypes properly. Solution: Accept braces around a function name. (M. Warner Losh) Files: src/osdef.sh Patch 6.1.025 Problem: Five messages for "vim --help" don't start with a capital. (Vlad Sandrini) Solution: Make the messages consistent. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.1.026 Problem: .patch files are not recognized as diff files. In a script a "VAR=val" argument after "env" isn't ignored. PHP scripts are not recognized. Solution: Add .patch for diff filetypes. Ignore "VAR=val". Recognize PHP scripts. (Roman Neuhauser) Files: runtime/filetype.vim, runtime/scripts.vim Patch 6.1.027 Problem: When 'foldcolumn' is non-zero, a special character that wraps to the next line disturbs the foldcolumn highlighting. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Only use the special highlighting when drawing text characters. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.1.028 Problem: Client-server: When a --remote-expr fails, Vim still exits with status zero. Solution: Exit Vim with a non-zero status to indicate the --remote-expr failed. (Thomas Scott Urban) Files: src/main.c Patch 6.1.029 Problem: When 'encoding' is an 8-bit encoding other than "latin1", editing a utf-8 or other Unicode file uses the wrong conversion. (Jan Fedak) Solution: Don't use Unicode to latin1 conversion for 8-bit encodings other than "latin1". Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.1.030 Problem: When CTRL-N is mapped in Insert mode, it is also mapped after CTRL-X CTRL-N, while it is not mapped after CTRL-X CTRL-F. (Kontra Gergely) Solution: Don't map CTRL-N after CTRL-X CTRL-N. Same for CTRL-P. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.1.031 Problem: Cygwin: Xxd could read a file in text mode instead of binary mode. Solution: Use "rb" or "rt" when needed. (Pavol Juhas) Files: src/xxd/xxd.c Patch 6.1.032 Problem: Can't specify a quickfix file without jumping to the first error. Solution: Add the ":cgetfile" command.

(Christian Michon) Solution: Update the cursor position after redrawing the selection. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.1.034 Problem: A CVS diff file isn't recognized as diff filetype. Solution: Skip lines starting with "? " before checking for an "Index:" line. Files: runtime/scripts.vim Patch 6.1.035 (extra, depends on 6.1.016) Problem: Win32: Outputting Hebrew or Arabic text might have a problem with reversing on MS-Windows 95/98/ME. Solution: Restore the RevOut() function and use it in specific situations only. (Ron Aaron) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.1.036 Problem: This command may cause a crash: ":v/./,//-j". (Ralf Arens) Solution: Compute the right length of the regexp when it's empty.

(Stephen Rasku) Solution: Expand environment variables in the ":redir >" argument. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.1.060 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and 'selection' is "exclusive", deleting a character just before a tab changes the tab into spaces. Undo doesn't restore the tab. (Helmut Stiegler) Solution: Don't replace the tab by spaces when it's not needed. Correctly save the line before it's changed. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.1.061 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and 'selection' is "exclusive", a Visual selection that ends just after a tab doesn't include that tab in the highlighting.

Entry in ":options" window for 'autowriteall' is wrong. (Antoine J Mechelynck) Can't insert a space in an option value. Solution: Use ":setlocal" instead of ":set". Change "aw" to "awa". Don't map space in Insert mode. Files: runtime/optwin.vim Patch 6.1.102 Problem: Unprintable and multibyte characters in a statusline item are not truncated correctly. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Count the width of characters instead of the number of bytes. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.1.103 Problem: A function returning from a while loop, with 'verbose' set to 12 or higher, doesn't mention the return value. A function with the 'abort' attribute may return -1 while the verbose message says something else. Solution: Move the verbose message about returning from a function to call_func(). (Servatius Brandt) Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.1.104 Problem: GCC 3.1 appears to have an optimizer problem that makes test 3 crash.

Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/proto/ex_cmds2.pro, VisVim/Commands.cpp Patch 6.1.174 Problem: It is difficult to know in a script whether an option not only exists but really works. Solution: Add "exists('+option')". Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/eval.c Patch 6.1.175 Problem: When reading commands from a pipe and a CTRL-C is pressed, Vim will hang. (Piet Delport) Solution: Don't keep reading characters to clear typeahead when an interrupt was detected, stop when a single CTRL-C is read. Files: src/getchar.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.1.176 Problem: When the stack limit is very big a false out-of-stack error may be detected. Solution: Add a check for overflow of the stack limit computation.

(Gary Johnson) Solution: Add "hor" to 'scrollopt' each time ":diffsplit" is used. Files: src/diff.c, src/main.c Patch 6.1.193 Problem: Crash in in_id_list() for an item with a "containedin" list. (Dave Fishburn) Solution: Check for a negative syntax id, used for keywords. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.1.194 Problem: When "t_ti" is set but it doesn't cause swapping terminal pages, "ZZ" may cause the shell prompt to appear on top of the file-write message. Solution: Scroll the text up in the Vim page before swapping to the terminal page. (Michael Schroeder) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.1.195 Problem: The quickfix and preview windows always keep their height, while other windows can't fix their height. Solution: Add the 'winfixheight' option, so that a fixed height can be specified for any window. Also fix that the wildmenu may resize a one-line window to a two-line window if 'ls' is zero.

Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.1.225 Problem: Using <C-O><C-^> in Insert mode has a delay when starting "vim -u NONE" and ":set nocp hidden". (Emmanuel) do_ecmd() uses fileinfo(), the redraw is done after a delay to give the user time to read the message. Solution: Put the message from fileio() in "keep_msg", so that the redraw is done before the delay (still needed to avoid the mode message overwrites the fileinfo() message). Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.1.226 Problem: Using ":debug" with a ":normal" command may cause a hang. (Colin Keith) Solution: Save the typeahead buffer when obtaining a debug command.

Files: src/window.c ============================================================================== VERSION 6.3 version-6.3 This section is about improvements made between version 6.2 and 6.3. This is mainly a bug-fix release. There are also a few new features. The major number of new items is in the runtime files and translations. Changed changed-6.3 ------- The intro message also displays a note about sponsoring Vim, mixed randomly with the message about helping children in Uganda. Included the translated menus, keymaps and tutors with the normal runtime files. The separate "lang" archive now only contains translated messages. Made the translated menu file names a bit more consistent. Use "latin1" for "iso_8859-1" and "iso_8859-15". Removed the "file_select.vim" script from the distribution. It's not more useful than other scripts that can be downloaded from www.vim.org. The "runtime/doc/tags" file is now always in unix fileformat. On MS-Windows it used to be dos fileformat, but ":helptags" generates a unix format file. Added added-6.3 ----- New commands: :cNfile go to last error in previous file :cpfile idem :changes print the change list :keepmarks following command keeps marks where they are :keepjumps following command keeps jumplist and marks :lockmarks following command keeps marks where they are :redrawstatus force a redraw of the status line(s) New options: 'antialias' Mac OS X: use smooth, antialiased fonts 'helplang' preferred help languages Syntax files: Arch inventory (Nikolai Weibull) Calendar (Nikolai Weibull) Ch (Wayne Cheng) Controllable Regex Mutilator (Nikolai Weibull) D (Jason Mills) Desktop (Mikolaj Machowski) Dircolors (Nikolai Weibull) Elinks configuration (Nikolai Weibull) FASM (Ron Aaron) GrADS scripts (Stefan Fronzek) Icewm menu (James Mahler) LDIF (Zak Johnson) Locale input, fdcc.

(idea from Yakov Lerner) The big Win32 version is now compiled with Ruby interface, version 1.8. For Python version 2.3 is used. For Perl version 5.8 is used. The "ftdetect" directory is mentioned in the documentation. The DOS install program creates it. Fixed fixed-6.3 ----- Test 42 failed on MS-Windows. Set and reset 'fileformat' and 'binary' options here and there. (Walter Briscoe) The explorer plugin didn't work for double-byte 'encoding's. Use "copy /y" in Make_bc5.mak to avoid a prompt for overwriting. Patch 6.2.001 Problem: The ":stopinsert" command doesn't have a help tag. Solution: Add the tag. (Antoine J. Mechelynck) Files: runtime/doc/insert.txt, runtime/doc/tags Patch 6.2.002 Problem: When compiled with the +multi_byte feature but without +eval, displaying UTF-8 characters may cause a crash.

(Alexey Froloff) Files: src/feature.h Patch 6.2.016 Problem: Using ":scscope find" with 'cscopequickfix' does not always split the window. (Gary Johnson) Win32: ":cscope add" could make the script that contains it read-only until the corresponding ":cscope kill". Errors during ":cscope add" may not be handled properly. Solution: When using the quickfix window may need to split the window. Avoid file handle inheritance for the script. Check for a failed connection and/or process. (Sergey Khorev) Files: src/ex_cmds2.c, src/if_cscope.c Patch 6.2.017 Problem: Test11 sometimes prompts the user, because a file would have been changed outside of Vim. (Antonio Colombo) Solution: Add a FileChangedShell autocommand to avoid the prompt.

Files: src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.061 Problem: GUI: Using the left mouse button with the shift key should work like "" but it scrolls instead. (Martin Beller) Solution: Don't recognize an rxvt scroll wheel event when using the GUI. Files: src/term.c Patch 6.2.062 Problem: When one buffer uses a syntax with "containedin" and another buffer does not, redrawing depends on what the current buffer is. (Brett Pershing Stahlman) Solution: Use "syn_buf" instead of "curbuf" to get the b_syn_containedin flag. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.063 Problem: When using custom completion end up with no matches.

(Oyvind Holm) Files: runtime/plugin/gzip.vim Patch 6.2.167 Problem: The Python interface leaks memory when assigning lines to a buffer. (Sergey Khorev) Solution: Do not copy the line when calling ml_replace(). Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.168 Problem: Python interface: There is no way to get the indices from a range object. Solution: Add the "start" and "end" attributes. (Maurice S. Barnum) Files: src/if_python.c, runtime/doc/if_pyth.txt Patch 6.2.169 Problem: The prototype for _Xmblen() appears in a recent XFree86 header file, causing a warning for our prototype. (Hisashi T Fujinaka) Solution: Move the prototype to an osdef file, so that it's filtered out. Files: src/mbyte.c, src/osdef2.h.in Patch 6.2.170 Problem: When using Sun WorkShop the current directory isn't changed to where the file is. Solution: Set the 'autochdir' option when using WorkShop. And avoid using the basename when 'autochdir' is not set. Files: src/gui_x11.c, src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.171 (after 6.2.163) Problem: The "-or" argument of "find" doesn't work for SysV systems. Solution: Use "-o" instead. (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.172 (after 6.2.169) Problem: The prototype for _Xmblen() still causes trouble. Solution: Include the X11 header file that defines the prototype. Files: src/osdef2.h.in, src/osdef.sh Patch 6.2.173 (extra) Problem: Win32: Ruby interface doesn't work with Ruby 1.8.0 for other compilers than MSVC. Solution: Fix the BC5, Cygwin and Mingw makefiles. (Dan Sharp) Files: src/Make_bc5.mak, src/Make_cyg.mak, src/Make_ming.mak Patch 6.2.174 Problem: After the ":intro" message only a mouse click in the last line gets past the hit-return prompt. Solution: Accept a click at or below the hit-return prompt. Files: src/gui.c, src/message.c Patch 6.2.175 Problem: Changing 'backupext' in a WritePre autocommand doesn't work. (William Natter) Solution: Move the use of p_bex to after executing the WritePre autocommands. Also avoids reading allocated memory after freeing. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.176 Problem: Accented characters in translated help files are not handled correctly. (Fabien Vayssiere) Solution: Include "192-255" in 'iskeyword' for the help window. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.177 (extra) Problem: VisVim: Opening a file with a space in the name doesn't work. (Rob Retter) Arbitrary commands are being executed. (Neil Bird) Solution: Put a backslash in front of every space in the file name. (Gerard Blais) Terminate the CTRL-\ CTRL-N command with a NUL. Files: src/VisVim/Commands.cpp, src/VisVim/VisVim.rc Patch 6.2.178 Problem: People who don't know how to exit Vim try pressing CTRL-C. Solution: Give a message how to exit Vim when CTRL-C is pressed and it doesn't cancel anything. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.179 (extra) Problem: The en_gb messages file isn't found on case sensitive systems. Solution: Rename en_gb to en_GB. (Mike Williams) Files: src/po/en_gb.po, src/po/en_GB.po, src/po/Make_ming.mak, src/po/Make_mvc.mak, src/po/Makefile, src/po/README_mvc.txt Patch 6.2.180 Problem: Compiling with GTK2 on Win32 doesn't work. Solution: Include gdkwin32.h instead of gdkx.h. (Srinath Avadhanula) Files: src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_gtk_f.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.181 (after 6.2.171) Problem: The "-o" argument of "find" has lower priority than the implied "and" with "-print". Solution: Add parenthesis around the "-o" expression. (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.182 (after 6.2.094) Problem: Compilation with tiny features fails because of missing get_past_head() function. Solution: Adjust the #ifdef for get_past_head(). Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.183 (after 6.2.178) Problem: Warning for char/unsigned char mixup. Solution: Use MSG() instead of msg(). (Tony Leneis) Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.184 Problem: With 'formatoptions' set to "1aw" inserting text may cause the paragraph to be ended. (Alan Schmitt) Solution: Temporarily add an extra space to make the paragraph continue after moving the word after the cursor to the next line. Also format when pressing Esc. Files: src/edit.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/edit.pro Patch 6.2.185 Problem: Restoring a session with zero-height windows does not work properly. (Charles Campbell) Solution: Accept a zero argument to ":resize" as intended. Add a window number argument to ":resize" to be able to set the size of other windows, because the current window cannot be zero-height. Fix the explorer plugin to avoid changing the window sizes. Add the winrestcmd() function for this. Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt, runtime/plugin/explorer.vim, src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/proto/window.pro, src/window.c Patch 6.2.186 (after 6.2.185) Problem: Documentation file eval.txt contains examples without indent. Solution: Insert the indent. Also fix other mistakes. Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt Patch 6.2.187 Problem: Using Insure++ reveals a number of bugs. (Dominique Pelle) Solution: Initialize variables where needed. Free allocated memory to avoid leaks. Fix comparing tags to avoid reading past allocated memory. Files: src/buffer.c, src/diff.c, src/fileio.c, src/mark.c, src/misc1.c, src/misc2.c, src/ops.c, src/option.c, src/tag.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.2.188 (extra) Problem: MS-Windows: Multi-byte characters in a filename cause trouble for the window title. Solution: Return when the wide function for setting the title did its work. Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.189 Problem: When setting 'viminfo' after editing a new buffer its marks are not stored. (Keith Roberts) Solution: Set the "b_marks_read" flag when skipping to read marks from the viminfo file. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.190 Problem: When editing a compressed files, marks are lost. Solution: Add the ":lockmarks" modifier and use it in the gzip plugin. Make exists() also check for command modifiers, so that the existence of ":lockmarks" can be checked for. Also add ":keepmarks" to avoid that marks are deleted when filtering text. When deleting lines put marks 'A - 'Z and '0 - '9 at the first deleted line instead of clearing the mark. They were kept in the viminfo file anyway. Avoid that the gzip plugin puts deleted text in registers. Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, runtime/plugin/gzip.vim, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/mark.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.191 Problem: The intro message is outdated. Information about sponsoring and registering is missing. Solution: Show info about sponsoring and registering Vim in the intro message now and then. Add help file about sponsoring. Files: runtime/doc/help.txt, runtime/doc/sponsor.txt, runtime/doc/tags, runtime/menu.vim, src/version.c Patch 6.2.192 Problem: Using CTRL-T and CTRL-D with "gR" messes up the text. (Jonathan Hankins) Solution: Avoid calling change_indent() recursively. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.193 Problem: When recalling a search pattern from the history from a ":s,a/c," command the '/' ends the search string. (JC van Winkel) Solution: Store the separator character with the history entries. Escape characters when needed, replace the old separator with the new one. Also fixes that recalling a "/" search for a "?" command messes up trailing flags. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/ex_getln.pro, src/search.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.194 (after 6.2.068) Problem: For NetBeans, instead of writing the file and sending an event about it, tell NetBeans to write the file. Solution: Add the "save" command, "netbeansBuffer" command and "buttonRelease" event to the netbeans protocol. Updated the interface to version 2.2. (Gordon Prieur) Also: open a fold when the cursor has been positioned. Also: fix memory leak, free result of nb_quote(). Files: runtime/doc/netbeans.txt, src/fileio.c, src/netbeans.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/netbeans.pro, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.195 (after 6.2.190) Problem: Compiling fails for missing CPO_REMMARK symbol. Solution: Add the patch I forgot to include... Files: src/option.h Patch 6.2.196 (after 6.2.191) Problem: Rebuilding the documentation doesn't use the sponsor.txt file. Solution: Add sponsor.txt to the Makefile. (Christian J. Robinson) Files: runtime/doc/Makefile Patch 6.2.197 Problem: It is not possible to force a redraw of status lines. (Gary Johnson) Solution: Add the ":redrawstatus" command. Files: runtime/doc/various.txt, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.2.198 Problem: A few messages are not translated. (Ernest Adrogue) Solution: Mark the messages to be translated. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.199 (after 6.2.194) Problem: Vim doesn't work perfectly well with NetBeans. Solution: When NetBeans saves the file, reset the timestamp to avoid "file changed" warnings. Close a buffer in a proper way. Don't try giving a debug message with an invalid pointer. Send a newDotAndMark message when needed. Report a change by the "r" command to NetBeans. (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/netbeans.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.2.200 Problem: When recovering a file, 'fileformat' is always the default, thus writing the file may result in differences. (Penelope Fudd) Solution: Before recovering the file try reading the original file to obtain the values of 'fileformat', 'fileencoding', etc. Files: src/memline.c Patch 6.2.201 Problem: When 'autowriteall' is set ":qall" still refuses to exit if there is a modified buffer. (Antoine Mechelynck) Solution: Attempt writing modified buffers as intended. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.202 Problem: Filetype names of CHILL and ch script are confusing. Solution: Rename "ch" to "chill" and "chscript" to "ch". Files: runtime/filetype.vim, runtime/makemenu.vim, runtime/synmenu.vim runtime/syntax/ch.vim, runtime/syntax/chill.vim Patch 6.2.203 Problem: With characterwise text that has more than one line, "3P" works wrong. "3p" has the same problem. There also is a display problem. (Daniel Goujot) Solution: Perform characterwise puts with a count in the right position. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.204 (after 6.2.086) Problem: "]]" in a file with closed folds moves to the end of the file. (Nam SungHyun) Solution: Find one position in each closed fold, then move to after the fold. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.2.205 (extra) Problem: MS-Windows: When the taskbar is at the left or top of the screen, the Vim window placement is wrong. Solution: Compute the size and position of the window correctly. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.206 Problem: Multi-byte characters cannot be used as hotkeys in a console dialog. (Mattias Erkisson) Solution: Handle multibyte characters properly. Also put () or [] around default hotkeys. Files: src/message.c, src/macros.h Patch 6.2.207 Problem: When 'encoding' is a multibyte encoding, expanding an abbreviation that starts where insertion started results in characters before the insertion to be deleted. (Xiangjiang Ma) Solution: Stop searching leftwards for the start of the word at the position where insertion started. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.2.208 Problem: When using fold markers, three lines in a row have the start marker and deleting the first one with "dd", a nested fold is not deleted. (Kamil Burzynski) Using marker folding, a level 1 fold doesn't stop when it is followed by "{{{2", starting a level 2 fold. Solution: Don't stop updating folds at the end of a change when the nesting level of folds is larger than the fold level. Correctly compute the number of folds that start at "{{{2". Also avoid a crash for a NULL pointer. Files: src/fold.c Patch 6.2.209 Problem: A bogus fold is created when using "P" while the cursor is in the middle of a closed fold. (Kamil Burzynski) Solution: Correct the line number where marks are modified for closed folds. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.210 (extra) Problem: Mac OSX: antialiased fonts are not supported. Solution: Add the 'antialias' option to switch on antialiasing on Mac OSX 10.2 and later. (Peter Cucka) Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/gui_mac.c, src/option.h, src/option.c Patch 6.2.211 (extra) Problem: Code for handling file dropped on Vim is duplicated. Solution: Move the common code to gui_handle_drop(). Add code to drop the files in the window under the cursor. Support drag&drop on the Macintosh. (Taro Muraoka) When dropping a directory name edit that directory (using the explorer plugin) Fix that changing directory with Shift pressed didn't work for relative path names. Files: src/fileio.c, src/gui.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_mac.c, src/gui_w48.c, src/proto/fileio.pro, src/proto/gui.pro Patch 6.2.212 (after 6.2.199) Problem: NetBeans: Replacing with a count is not handled correctly. Solution: Move reporting the change outside of the loop for the count. (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.213 (after 6.2.208) Problem: Using marker folding, "{{{1" doesn't start a new fold when already at fold level 1. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Correctly compute the number of folds that start at "{{{1". Files: src/fold.c Patch 6.2.214 (after 6.2.211) (extra) Problem: Warning for an unused variable. Solution: Delete the declaration. (Bill McCarthy) Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.215 Problem: NetBeans: problems saving an unmodified file. Solution: Add isNetbeansModified() function. Disable netbeans_unmodified(). (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/fileio.c, src/netbeans.c, src/proto/netbeans.pro, runtime/doc/netbeans.txt, runtime/doc/tags Patch 6.2.216 (after 6.2.206) Problem: Multi-byte characters still cannot be used as hotkeys in a console dialog. (Mattias Erkisson) Solution: Make get_keystroke() handle multibyte characters. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.217 Problem: GTK: setting the title doesn't always work correctly. Solution: Invoke gui_mch_settitle(). (Tomas Stehlik) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.218 Problem: Warning for function without prototype. Solution: Add argument types to the msgCB field of the BalloonEval struct. Files: src/gui_beval.h Patch 6.2.219 Problem: Syntax highlighting hangs on an empty match of an item with a nextgroup. (Charles Campbell) Solution: Remember that the item has already matched and don't match it again at the same position. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.220 Problem: When a Vim server runs in a console a remote command isn't handled before a key is typed. (Joshua Neuheisel) Solution: Don't try reading more input when a client-server command has been received. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.221 Problem: No file name completion for ":cscope add". Solution: Add the XFILE flag to ":cscope". (Gary Johnson) Files: src/ex_cmds.h Patch 6.2.222 Problem: Using "--remote" several times on a row only opens some of the files. (Dany St-Amant) Solution: Don't delete all typeahead when the server receives a command from a client, only delete typed characters. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.2.223 Problem: Cscope: Avoid a hang when cscope waits for a response while Vim waits for a prompt. Error messages from Cscope mess up the display. Solution: Detect the hit-enter message and respond by sending a return character to cscope. (Gary Johnson) Use EMSG() and strerror() when possible. Replace perror() with PERROR() everywhere, add emsg3(). Files: src/diff.c, src/if_cscope.c, src/integration.c, src/message.c, src/proto/message.pro, src/misc2.c, src/netbeans.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.224 Problem: Mac: Can't compile with small features. (Axel Kielhorn) Solution: Also include vim_chdirfile() when compiling for the Mac. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.225 Problem: NetBeans: Reported modified state isn't exactly right. Solution: Report a file being modified in the NetBeans way. Files: src/netbeans.c Patch 6.2.226 (after 6.2.107) (extra) Problem: The "ws2-32.lib" file isn't always available. Solution: Use "WSock32.lib" instead. (Taro Muraoka, Dan Sharp) Files: src/Make_cyg.mak, src/Make_ming.mak, src/Make_mvc.mak Patch 6.2.227 (extra) Problem: The "PC" symbol is defined but not used anywhere. Solution: Remove "-DPC" from the makefiles. Files: src/Make_bc3.mak, src/Make_bc5.mak, src/Make_cyg.mak, src/Make_ming.mak Patch 6.2.228 Problem: Receiving CTRL-\ CTRL-N after typing "f" or "m" doesn't switch Vim back to Normal mode. Same for CTRL-\ CTRL-G. Solution: Check if the character typed after a command is CTRL-\ and obtain another character to check for CTRL-N or CTRL-G, waiting up to 'ttimeoutlen' msec. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.229 Problem: ":function" with a name that uses magic curlies does not work inside a function. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Skip over the function name properly. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.230 (extra) Problem: Win32: a complex pattern may cause a crash. Solution: Use __try and __except to catch the exception and handle it gracefully, when possible. Add myresetstkoflw() to reset the stack overflow. (Benjamin Peterson) Files: src/Make_bc5.mak, src/os_mswin.c src/os_win32.c, src/os_win32.h, src/proto/os_win32.pro, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.231 (after 6.2.046) Problem: Various problems when an error exception is raised from within a builtin function. When it is invoked while evaluating arguments to a function following arguments are still evaluated. When invoked with a line range it will be called for remaining lines. Solution: Update "force_abort" also after calling a builtin function, so that aborting() always returns the correct value. (Servatius Brandt) Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_eval.c, src/proto/ex_eval.pro, src/testdir/test49.ok, src/testdir/test49.vim Patch 6.2.232 Problem: ":python vim.command('python print 22')" crashes Vim. (Eugene Minkovskii) Solution: Disallow executing a Python command recursively and give an error message. Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.233 Problem: On Mac OSX adding -pthread for Python only generates a warning. The test for Perl threads rejects Perl while it's OK. Tcl doesn't work at all. The test for Ruby fails if ruby exists but there are no header files. The Ruby library isn't detected properly Solution: Avoid adding -pthread on Mac OSX. Accept Perl threads when it's not the 5.5 threads. Use the Tcl framework for header files. For Ruby rename cWindow to cVimWindow to avoid a name clash. (Ken Scott) Only enable Ruby when the header files can be found. Use "-lruby" instead of "libruby.a" when it can't be found. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/if_ruby.c Patch 6.2.234 Problem: GTK 2 GUI: ":sp" and the ":q" leaves the cursor on the command line. Solution: Flush output before removing scrollbars. Also do this in other places where gui_mch_() functions are invoked. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/option.c, src/window.c Patch 6.2.235 (extra) Problem: Win32: Cursor isn't removed with a 25x80 window and doing: "1830ia<Esc>400a-<Esc>0w0". (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Remove the call to gui_undraw_cursor() from gui_mch_insert_lines(). Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.236 Problem: Using gvim with Agide gives "connection lost" error messages. Solution: Only give the "connection lost" message when the buffer was once owned by NetBeans. Files: src/netbeans.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.237 Problem: GTK 2: Thai text is drawn wrong. It changes when moving the cursor over it. Solution: Disable the shaping engine, it moves combining characters to a wrong position and combines characters, while drawing the cursor doesn't combine characters. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.238 (after 6.2.231) Problem: ":function" does not work inside a while loop. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Add get_while_line() and pass it to do_one_cmd() when in a while loop, so that all lines are stored and can be used again when repeating the loop. Adjust test 49 so that it checks for the fixed problems. (Servatius Brandt) Files: src/digraph.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_eval.c, src/proto/ex_cmds2.pro, src/proto/ex_docmd.pro, src/testdir/test49.in, src/testdir/test49.ok, src/testdir/test49.vim Patch 6.2.239 Problem: GTK 2: With closed folds the arrow buttons of a vertical scrollbar often doesn't scroll. (Moshe Kaminsky) Solution: Hackish solution: Detect that the button was pressed from the mouse pointer position. Files: src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui.c Patch 6.2.240 Problem: GTK 2: Searching for bitmaps for the toolbar doesn't work as with other systems. Need to explicitly use "icon=name". (Ned Konz, Christian J. Robinson) Solution: Search for icons like done for Motif. Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.241 Problem: GTK 2: Search and Search/Replace dialogs are synced, that makes no sense. Buttons are sometimes greyed-out. (Jeremy Messenger) Solution: Remove the code to sync the two dialogs. Adjust the code to react to an empty search string to also work for GTK2. (David Necas) Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.242 Problem: Gnome: "vim --help" only shows the Gnome arguments, not the Vim arguments. Solution: Don't let the Gnome code remove the "--help" argument and don't exit at the end of usage(). Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/main.c Patch 6.2.243 (extra) Problem: Mac: Dropping a file on a Vim icon causes a hit-enter prompt. Solution: Move the dropped files to the global argument list, instead of the usual drop handling. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/main.c, src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.2.244 Problem: ':echo "\xf7"' displays the illegal byte as if it was a character and leaves "cho" after it. Solution: When checking the length of a UTF-8 byte sequence and it's shorter than the number of bytes available, assume it's an illegal byte. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.245 Problem: Completion doesn't work for ":keepmarks" and ":lockmarks". Solution: Add the command modifiers to the table of commands. (Madoka Machitani) Files: src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.246 Problem: Mac: Starting Vim from Finder doesn't show error messages. Solution: Recognize that output is being displayed by stderr being "/dev/console". (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/main.c, src/message.c Patch 6.2.247 (after 6.2.193) Problem: When using a search pattern from the viminfo file the last character is replaced with a '/'. Solution: Store the separator character in the right place. (Kelvin Lee) Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.2.248 Problem: GTK: When XIM is enabled normal "2" and keypad "2" cannot be distinguished. Solution: Detect that XIM changes the keypad key to the expected ASCII character and fall back to the non-XIM code. (Neil Bird) Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/mbyte.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro Patch 6.2.249 Problem: ":cnext" moves to the error in the next file, but there is no method to go back. Solution: Add ":cpfile" and ":cNfile". Files: src/ex_cmds.h, src/quickfix.c, src/vim.h, runtime/doc/quickfix.txt Patch 6.2.250 Problem: Memory leaks when using signs. (Xavier de Gaye) Solution: Delete the list of signs when unloading a buffer. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.2.251 Problem: GTK: The 'v' flag in 'guioptions' doesn't work. (Steve Hall) Order of buttons is reversed for GTK 2.2.4. Don't always get focus back after handling a dialog. Solution: Make buttons appear vertically when desired. Reverse the order in which buttons are added to a dialog. Move mouse pointer around when the dialog is done and we don't have focus. Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.252 (extra, after 6.2.243) Problem: Mac: Dropping a file on a Vim icon causes a hit-enter prompt for Mac OS classic. Solution: Remove the #ifdef from the code that fixes it for Mac OSX. Files: src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.2.253 Problem: When 'tagstack' is not set a ":tag id" command does not work after a ":tjump" command. Solution: Set "new_tag" when 'tagstack' isn't set. (G. Narendran) Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.2.254 Problem: May run out of space for error messages. Solution: Keep room for two more bytes. Files: src/quickfix.c Patch 6.2.255 Problem: GTK: A new item in the popup menu is put just after instead of just before the right item. (Gabriel Zachmann) Solution: Don't increment the menu item index. Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.256 Problem: Mac: "macroman" encoding isn't recognized, need to use "8bit-macroman". Solution: Recognize "macroman" with an alias "mac". (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.257 (after 6.2.250) Problem: Signs are deleted for ":bdel", but they could still be useful. Solution: Delete signs only for ":bwipe". Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.2.258 Problem: GUI: can't disable (grey-out) a popup menu item. (Ajit Thakkar) Solution: Loop over the popup menus for all modes. Files: src/menu.c Patch 6.2.259 Problem: If there are messages when exiting, on the console there is a hit-enter prompt while the message can be read; in the GUI the message may not be visible. Solution: Use the hit-enter prompt when there is an error message from writing the viminfo file or autocommands, or when there is any output in the GUI and 'verbose' is set. Don't use a hit-enter prompt for the non-GUI version unless there is an error message. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.2.260 Problem: GTK 2: Can't quit a dialog with <Esc>. GTK 1 and 2: <Enter> always gives a result, even when the default button has been disabled. Solution: Handle these keys explicitly. When no default button is specified use the first one (works mostly like it was before). Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.261 Problem: When 'autoindent' and 'cindent' are set and a line is recognized as a comment, starting a new line won't do 'cindent' formatting. Solution: Also use 'cindent' formatting for lines that are used as a comment. (Servatius Brandt) Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.262 Problem: 1 CTRL-W w beeps, even though going to the first window is possible. (Charles Campbell) Solution: Don't beep. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.2.263 Problem: Lint warnings: Duplicate function prototypes, duplicate macros, use of a zero character instead of a zero pointer, unused variable. Clearing allocated memory in a complicated way. Solution: Remove the function prototypes from farsi.h. Remove the duplicated lines in keymap.h. Change getvcol() argument from NUL to NULL. Remove the "col" variable in regmatch(). Use lalloc_clear() instead of lalloc(). (Walter Briscoe) Files: src/farsi.h, src/keymap.h, src/ops.c, src/regexp.c, src/search.c Patch 6.2.264 (after 6.2.247) Problem: Writing past allocated memory when using a command line from the viminfo file. Solution: Store the NUL in the right place. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.2.265 Problem: Although ":set" is not allowed in the sandbox, ":let &opt = val" works. Solution: Do allow changing options in the sandbox, but not the ones that can't be changed from a modeline. Files: src/ex_cmds.h, src/options.c Patch 6.2.266 Problem: When redirecting output and using ":silent", line breaks are missing from output of ":map" and ":tselect". Alignment of columns is wrong.

Files: src/getchar.c, src/message.c Patch 6.2.267 (extra) Problem: Win32: "&&" in a tearoff menu is not shown. (Luc Hermitte) Solution: Use the "name" item from the menu instead of the "dname" item. Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/menu.c Patch 6.2.268 Problem: GUI: When changing 'guioptions' part of the window may be off screen. (Randall Morris) Solution: Adjust the size of the window when changing 'guioptions', but only when adding something. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.269 Problem: Diff mode does not highlight a change in a combining character. (Raphael Finkel) Solution: Make diff_find_change() multibyte aware: find the start byte of a character that contains a change. Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.2.270 Problem: Completion in Insert mode, then repeating with ".", doesn't handle composing characters in the completed text. (Raphael Finkel) Solution: Don't skip over composing chars when adding completed text to the redo buffer. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.2.271 Problem: NetBeans: Can't do "tail -f" on the log. Passing socket info with an argument or environment variable is not secure. Solution: Wait after initializing the log. Allow passing the socket info through a file. (Gordon Prieur) Files: runtime/doc/netbeans.txt, src/main.c, src/netbeans.c Patch 6.2.272 Problem: When the "po" directory exists, but "po/Makefile" doesn't, building fails. Make loops when the "po" directory has been deleted after running configure. Solution: Check for the "po/Makefile" instead of just the "po" directory. Check this again before trying to run make with that Makefile. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/Makefile Patch 6.2.273 Problem: Changing the sort order in an explorer window for an empty directory produces error messages. (Doug Kearns) Solution: When an invalid range is used for a function that is not going to be executed, skip over the arguments anyway. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.274 Problem: ":print" skips empty lines when 'list' is set and there is no "eol" in 'listchars'. (Yakov Lerner) Solution: Skip outputting a space for an empty line only when 'list' is set and the end-of-line character is not empty. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.2.275 (extra, after 6.2.267) Problem: Warning for uninitialized variable when using gcc. Solution: Initialize "acLen" to zero.

(Mike Williams) Files: runtime/print/prolog.ps Patch 6.2.282 Problem: When using CTRL-O to go back to a help file, it becomes listed. (Andrew Nesbit) Using ":tag" or ":tjump" in a help file doesn't keep the help file settings (e.g. for 'iskeyword'). Solution: Don't mark a buffer as listed when its help flag is set. Put all the option settings for a help buffer together in do_ecmd(). Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.283 Problem: The "local additions" in help.txt are used without conversion, causing latin1 characters showing up wrong when 'enc' is utf-8. (Antoine J. Mechelynck) Solution: Convert the text to 'encoding'. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.284 Problem: Listing a function puts "endfunction" in the message history. Typing "q" at the more prompt isn't handled correctly when listing variables and functions. (Hara Krishna Dara) Solution: Don't use msg() for "endfunction". Check "got_int" regularly. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.285 Problem: GUI: In a single wrapped line that fills the window, "gj" in the last screen line leaves the cursor behind. (Ivan Tarasov) Solution: Undraw the cursor before scrolling the text up. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.286 Problem: When trying to rename a file and it doesn't exist, the destination file is deleted anyway.

Also fixes reading very long history lines from viminfo. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.2.288 (extra) Problem: Mac: An external program can't be interrupted. Solution: Don't use the 'c' key for backspace. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.2.289 Problem: Compiling the Tcl interface with thread support causes ":make" to fail. (Juergen Salk) Solution: Use $TCL_DEFS from the Tcl config script to obtain the required compile flags for using the thread library. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in Patch 6.2.290 (extra) Problem: Mac: The mousewheel doesn't work. Solution: Add mousewheel support. Also fix updating the thumb after a drag and then using another way to scroll. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.2.291 (extra) Problem: Mac: the plus button and close button don't do anything. Solution: Make the plus button maximize the window and the close button close Vim. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.2.292 Problem: Motif: When removing GUI arguments from argv[] a "ps -ef" shows the last argument repeated. Solution: Set argv[argc] to NULL. (Michael Jarvis) Files: src/gui_x11.c Patch 6.2.293 (after 6.2.255) Problem: GTK: A new item in a menu is put before the tearoff item. Solution: Do increment the menu item index for non-popup menu items. Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.294 (extra) Problem: Mac: Cannot use modifiers with Space, Tab, Enter and Escape. Solution: Handle all modifiers for these keys. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.2.295 Problem: When in debug mode, receiving a message from a remote client causes a crash. Evaluating an expression causes Vim to wait for "cont" to be typed, without a prompt. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Disable debugging when evaluating an expression for a client. (Michael Geddes) Don't try reading into the typeahead buffer when it may have been filled in another way.

Solution: Extra files for patch 6.2.295. Files: src/os_amiga.c, src/os_msdos.c, src/os_riscos.c, src/os_win32.c, src/proto/os_amiga.pro, src/proto/os_msdos.pro, src/proto/os_riscos.pro, src/proto/os_win32.pro Patch 6.2.297 (after 6.2.232) Problem: Cannot invoke Python commands recursively. Solution: With Python 2.3 and later use the available mechanisms to invoke Python recursively. (Matthew Mueller) Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.298 Problem: A change always sets the '. mark and an insert always sets the '^ mark, even when this is not wanted. Cannot go back to the position of older changes without undoing those changes. Solution: Add the ":keepjumps" command modifier. Add the "g," and "g;" commands. Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/edit.c, src/mark.c, src/misc1.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/mark.pro, src/structs.h, src/undo.c Patch 6.2.299 Problem: Can only use one language for help files. Solution: Add the 'helplang' option to select the preferred language(s). Make ":helptags" generate tags files for all languages. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, runtime/doc/various.txt, src/Makefile, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_getln.c, src/normal.c, src/option.c, src/option.h, src/proto/ex_cmds.pro, src/proto/ex_cmds2.pro, src/proto/option.pro, src/structs.h, src/tag.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.300 (after 6.2.297) Problem: Cannot build Python interface with Python 2.2 or earlier. Solution: Add a semicolon. Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.301 Problem: The "select all" item from the popup menu doesn't work for Select mode. Solution: Use the same commands as for the "Edit.select all" menu. (Benji Fisher) Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.2.302 Problem: Using "CTRL-O ." in Insert mode doesn't work properly. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Restore "restart_edit" after an insert command that was not typed. Avoid waiting with displaying the mode when there is no text to be overwritten. Fix that "CTRL-O ." sometimes doesn't put the cursor back after the end-of-line. Only reset the flag that CTRL-O was used past the end of the line when restarting editing. Update "o_lnum" number when inserting text and "o_eol" is set. Files: src/edit.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.2.303 Problem: Cannot use Unicode digraphs while 'encoding' is not Unicode. Solution: Convert the character from Unicode to 'encoding' when needed. Use the Unicode digraphs for the Macintosh. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/digraph.c Patch 6.2.304 (extra, after 6.2.256) Problem: Mac: No proper support for 'encoding'. Conversion without iconv() is not possible. Solution: Convert input from 'termencoding' to 'encoding'. Add mac_string_convert(). Convert text for the clipboard when needed.

Solution: Expand wildcards for translated help files separately. Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.308 Problem: Not all systems have "whoami", resulting in an empty user name. Solution: Use "logname" when possible, "whoami" otherwise. (David Boyce) Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.309 Problem: "3grx" waits for two ESC to be typed. (Jens Paulus) Solution: Append the ESC to the stuff buffer when redoing the "gr" insert. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.310 Problem: When setting 'undolevels' to -1, making a change and setting 'undolevels' to a positive value an "undo list corrupt" error occurs. (Madoka Machitani) Solution: Sync undo before changing 'undolevels'. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.311 (after 6.2.298) Problem: When making several changes in one line the changelist grows quickly. There is no error message for reaching the end of the changelist. Reading changelist marks from viminfo doesn't work properly. Solution: Only make a new entry in the changelist when making a change in another line or 'textwidth' columns away. Add E662, E663 and E664 error messages. Put a changelist mark from viminfo one position before the end. Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, src/mark.c, src/misc1.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.2.312 (after 6.2.299) Problem: "make install" clears the screen when installing the docs. Solution: Execute ":helptags" in silent mode. Files: runtime/doc/Makefile Patch 6.2.313 Problem: When opening folds in a diff window, other diff windows no longer show the same text. Solution: Sync the folds in diff windows. Files: src/diff.c, src/fold.c, src/move.c, src/proto/diff.pro, src/proto/move.pro Patch 6.2.314 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set "rx" may cause a crash with a blockwise selection and using "$". (Moritz Orbach) Solution: Don't try replacing chars in a line that has no characters in the block. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.315 Problem: Using CTRL-C in a Visual mode mapping while 'insertmode' is set stops Vim from returning to Insert mode. Solution: Don't reset "restart_edit" when a CTRL-C is found and 'insertmode' is set. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.316 (after 6.2.312) Problem: "make install" tries connecting to the X server when installing the docs. (Stephen Thomas) Solution: Add the "-X" argument.

(Richard Curnow) Solution: Distribute a change in 'foldenable' to other diff windows. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.318 Problem: When compiling with _THREAD_SAFE external commands don't echo typed characters. Solution: Don't set the terminal mode to TMODE_SLEEP when it's already at TMODE_COOK. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.319 (extra) Problem: Building gvimext.dll with Mingw doesn't work properly. Solution: Use gcc instead of dllwrap. Use long option names. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Files: src/GvimExt/Make_ming.mak Patch 6.2.320 Problem: Win32: Adding and removing the menubar resizes the Vim window. (Jonathon Merz) Solution: Don't let a resize event change 'lines' unexpectedly. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.321 Problem: When using modeless selection, wrapping lines are not recognized, a line break is always inserted. Solution: Add LineWraps[] to remember whether a line wrapped or not. Files: src/globals.h, src/screen.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.2.322 Problem: With 'showcmd' set, after typing "dd" the next "d" may not be displayed. (Jens Paulus) Solution: Redraw the command line after updating the screen, scrolling may have set "clear_cmdline". Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.323 Problem: Win32: expanding "~/file" in an autocommand pattern results in backslashes, while this pattern should only have forward slashes. Solution: Make expanding environment variables respect 'shellslash' and set p_ssl when expanding the autocommand pattern. Files: src/fileio.c, src/misc1.c, src/proto/fileio.pro Patch 6.2.324 (extra) Problem: Win32: when "vimrun.exe" has a path with white space, such as "Program Files", executing external commands may fail. Solution: Put double quotes around the path to "vimrun". Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.325 Problem: When $HOME includes a space, doing ":set tags=~/tags" doesn't work, the space is used to separate file names. (Brett Stahlman) Solution: Escape the space with a backslash. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.326 Problem: ":windo set syntax=foo" doesn't work. (Tim Chase) Solution: Don't change 'eventignore' for ":windo". Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.327 Problem: When formatting text all marks in the formatted lines are lost. A word is not joined to a previous line when this would be possible. (Mikolaj Machowski) Solution: Try to keep marks in the same position as much as possible. Also keep mark positions when joining lines. Start auto-formatting in the previous line when appropriate. Add the "gw" operator: Like "gq" but keep the cursor where it is. Files: runtime/doc/change.txt, src/edit.c, src/globals.h, src/mark.c, src/misc1.c, src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/proto/edit.pro, src/proto/mark.pro, src/proto/ops.pro, src/structs.h, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.328 Problem: XIM with GTK: It is hard to understand what XIM is doing. Solution: Add xim_log() to log XIM events and help with debugging. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.329 Problem: ":=" does not work Vi compatible. (Antony Scriven) Solution: Print the last line number instead of the current line. Don't print "line". Files: src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.330 (extra, after 6.2.267) Problem: Win32: Crash when tearing off a menu. Solution: Terminate a string with a NUL. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.2.331 (after 6.2.327) Problem: "gwap" leaves cursor in the wrong line. Solution: Remember the cursor position before finding the ends of the paragraph. Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.332 (extra) Problem: Amiga: Compile error for string array. Compiling the Amiga GUI doesn't work. Solution: Use a char pointer instead. Move including "gui_amiga.h" to after including "vim.h". Add a semicolon. (Ali Akcaagac) Files: src/gui_amiga.c, src/os_amiga.c Patch 6.2.333 (extra) Problem: Win32: printing doesn't work with specified font charset. Solution: Use the specified font charset.

Solution: Use eval_client_expr_to_string(). Files: src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.335 Problem: The ":sign" command cannot be followed by another command. Solution: Add TRLBAR to the command flags. Files: src/ex_cmds.h Patch 6.2.336 (after 6.2.327) Problem: Mixup of items in an expression. Solution: Move "== NUL" to the right spot. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.337 (extra, after 6.2.319) Problem: Building gvimext.dll with Mingw doesn't work properly. Solution: Fix white space and other details. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Files: src/GvimExt/Make_ming.mak Patch 6.2.338 (after 6.2.331) Problem: When undoing "gwap" the cursor is always put at the start of the paragraph. When undoing auto-formatting the cursor may be above the change. Solution: Try to move the cursor back to where it was or to the first line that actually changed. Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/undo.c Patch 6.2.339 Problem: Crash when using many different highlight groups and a User highlight group. (Juergen Kraemer) Solution: Do not use the sg_name_u pointer when it is NULL. Also simplify use of the highlight group table. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.340 Problem: ":reg" doesn't show the actual contents of the clipboard if it was filled outside of Vim. (Stuart MacDonald) Solution: Obtain the clipboard contents before displaying it. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.341 (extra) Problem: Win32: When the path to diff.exe contains a space and using the vimrc generated by the install program, diff mode does not work. Solution: Put the first double quote just before the space instead of before the path. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.2.342 (extra) Problem: Win32: macros are not always used as expected. Solution: Define WINVER to 0x0400 instead of 0x400. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Files: src/Make_bc5.mak, src/Make_cyg.mak, src/Make_mvc.mak Patch 6.2.343 Problem: Title doesn't work with some window managers. X11: Setting the text property for the window title is hard coded. Solution: Use STRING format when possible. Use the UTF-8 function when it's available and 'encoding' is utf-8. Use XStringListToTextProperty(). Do the same for the icon name. (David Harrison) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.344 (extra, after 6.2.337) Problem: Cannot build gvimext.dll with MingW on Linux.

Solution: Add a manifest and refer to it from the resource file. (Michael Wookey) Files: Makefile, src/gvim.exe.mnf, src/vim.rc Patch 6.2.348 Problem: Win32: "vim c:\dir\(test)" doesn't work, because the 'isfname' default value doesn't contain parenthesis. Solution: Temporarily add '(' and ')' to 'isfname' when expanding file name arguments. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.2.349 Problem: Finding a match using 'matchpairs' may cause a crash. 'matchpairs' is not used for 'showmatch'. Solution: Don't look past the NUL in 'matchpairs'. Use 'matchpairs' for 'showmatch'. (Dave Olszewkski) Files: src/misc1.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/search.pro, src/search.c Patch 6.2.350 Problem: Not enough info about startup timing. Solution: Add a few more TIME_MSG() calls.

Files: src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.354 (extra) Problem: Win32: When the mouse pointer is on a tear-off menu it is hidden when typing but is not redisplayed when moved. (Markx Hackmann) Solution: Handle the pointer move event for the tear-off menu window. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.2.355 (after 6.2.303) Problem: When 'encoding' is a double-byte encoding different from the current locale, the width of characters is not correct. Possible failure and memory leak when using iconv, Unicode digraphs and 'encoding' is not "utf-8". Solution: Use iconv() to discover the actual width of characters. Add the "vc_fail" field to vimconv_T. When converting a digraph, init the conversion type to NONE and cleanup afterwards. Files: src/digraph.c, src/mbyte.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.356 Problem: When using a double-byte 'encoding' and 'selection' is "exclusive", "vy" only yanks the first byte of a double-byte character.

Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.361 (extra) Problem: Win32: Run gvim, ":set go-=m", use Alt-Tab, keep Alt pressed while pressing Esc, then release Alt: Cursor disappears and typing a key causes a beep. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Don't ignore the WM_SYSKEYUP event when the menu is disabled. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.2.362 (extra, after 6.2.347) Problem: Win32: The manifest causes gvim not to work. (Dave Roberts) Solution: Change "x86" to "X86". (Serge Pirotte) Files: src/gvim.exe.mnf Patch 6.2.363 Problem: In an empty file with 'showmode' off, "i" doesn't change the ruler from "0-1" to "1". Typing "x<BS>" does show "1", but then <Esc> doesn't make it "0-1" again. Same problem for ruler in statusline. (Andrew Pimlott) Solution: Remember the "empty line" flag with Insert mode and'ed to it. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.364 Problem: HTML version of the documentation doesn't mention the encoding, which is a problem for mbyte.txt. Solution: Adjust the awk script. (Ilya Sher) Files: runtime/doc/makehtml.awk Patch 6.2.365 Problem: The configure checks for Perl and Python may add compile and link arguments that break building Vim. Solution: Do a sanity check: try building with the arguments. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in Patch 6.2.366 Problem: When the GUI can't start because no valid font is found, there is no error message. (Ugen) Solution: Add an error message. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.367 Problem: Building the help tags file while installing may fail if there is another Vim in $PATH. Solution: Specify the just installed Vim executable. (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.368 Problem: When 'autochdir' is set, closing a window doesn't change to the directory of the new current window. (Salman Halim) Solution: Handle 'autochdir' always when a window becomes the current one. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.2.369 Problem: Various memory leaks: when using globpath(), when searching for help tags files, when defining a function inside a function, when giving an error message through an exception, for the final "." line in ":append", in expression "cond ? a : b" that fails and for missing ")" in an expression. Using NULL pointer when adding first user command and for pointer computations with regexp. (tests by Dominique Pelle) Solution: Fix the leaks by freeing the allocated memory. Don't use the array of user commands when there are no entries. Use a macro instead of a function call for saving and restoring regexp states. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/misc2.c, src/regexp.c, src/screen.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.370 (extra, after6.2.341) Problem: Win32: When the path to diff.exe contains a space and using the vimrc generated by the install program, diff mode may not work. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Solution: Do not use double quotes for arguments that do not have a space. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.2.371 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and there is a Tab before the next "x", "dtx" does not delete the whole Tab. (Ken Hashishi) Solution: Move the cursor to the last position of the Tab. Also for "df<Tab>". Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.372 Problem: When using balloon evaluation, no value is displayed for members of structures and items of an array. Solution: Include "->", "." and "[]" in the expression. Files: src/gui_beval.c, src/normal.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.373 Problem: When 'winminheight' is zero and a window is reduced to zero height, the ruler always says "Top" instead of the cursor position. (Antoine J. Mechelynck) Solution: Don't recompute w_topline for a zero-height window. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.2.374 Problem: ":echo "hello" \| silent normal n" removes the "hello" message. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Don't echo the search string when ":silent" was used. Also don't show the mode. In general: don't clear to the end of the screen. Files: src/gui.c, src/message.c, src/os_unix.c, src/proto/message.pro, src/screen.c, src/search.c, src/window.c Patch 6.2.375 Problem: When changing 'guioptions' the hit-enter prompt may be below the end of the Vim window. Solution: Call screen_alloc() before showing the prompt. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.2.376 Problem: Win32: Ruby interface cannot be dynamically linked with Ruby 1.6. Solution: Add #ifdefs around use of rb_w32_snprintf(). (Benoît Cerrina) Files: src/if_ruby.c Patch 6.2.377 (after 6.2.372) Problem: Compiler warnings for signed/unsigned compare. (Michael Wookey) Solution: Add type cast. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.378 (extra, after 6.2.118) Problem: Mac: cannot build with Project Builder. Solution: Add remove_tail_with_ext() to locate and remove the "build" directory from the runtime path. Include os_unix.c when needed. (Dany St Amant) Files: src/misc1.c, src/os_macosx.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.379 Problem: Using ":mkvimrc" in the ":options" window sets 'bufhidden' to "delete". (Michael Naumann) Solution: Do not add buffer-specific option values to a global vimrc file. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.380 (extra) Problem: DOS: "make test" fails when running it again. Can't "make test" with Borland C. Solution: Make sure ".out" files are deleted when they get in the way. Add a "test" target to the Borland C Makefile. Files: src/Make_bc5.mak, src/testdir/Make_dos.mak Patch 6.2.381 Problem: Setting 'fileencoding' to a comma separated list (confusing it with 'fileencodings') does not result in an error message. Setting 'fileencoding' in an empty file marks it as modified. There is no "+" in the title after setting 'fileencoding'. Solution: Check for a comma in 'fileencoding'. Only consider a non-empty file modified by changing 'fileencoding'. Update the title after changing 'fileencoding'. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.382 Problem: Running "make test" puts marks from test files in viminfo. Solution: Specify a different viminfo file to use. Files: src/testdir/test15.in, src/testdir/test49.in Patch 6.2.383 Problem: ":hi foo term='bla" crashes Vim. (Antony Scriven) Solution: Check that the closing ' is there. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.384 Problem: ":menu a.&b" ":unmenu a.b" only works if "&b" isn't translated. Solution: Also compare the names without '&' characters. Files: src/menu.c Patch 6.2.385 (extra) Problem: Win32: forward_slash() and trash_input_buf() are undefined when compiling with small features. (Ajit Thakkar) Solution: Change the #ifdefs for forward_slash(). Don't call trash_input_buf() if the input buffer isn't used. Files: src/fileio.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.386 Problem: Wasting time trying to read marks from the viminfo file for a buffer without a name. Solution: Skip reading marks when the buffer has no name. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.387 Problem: There is no highlighting of translated items in help files. Solution: Search for a "help_ab.vim" syntax file when the help file is called ".abx". Also improve the help highlighting a bit. Files: runtime/syntax/help.vim Patch 6.2.388 Problem: GTK: When displaying some double-width characters they are drawn as single-width, because of conversion to UTF-8. Solution: Check the width that GTK uses and add a space if it's one instead of two. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.389 Problem: When working over a slow connection, it's very annoying that the last line is partly drawn and then cleared for every change. Solution: Don't redraw the bottom line if no rows were inserted or deleted. Don't draw the line if we know "@" lines will be used. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.390 Problem: Using "r" in Visual mode on multibyte characters only replaces every other character. (Tyson Roberts) Solution: Correct the cursor position after replacing each character. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.391 (extra) Problem: The ":highlight" command is not tested. Solution: Add a test script for ":highlight". Files: src/testdir/Makefile, src/testdir/Make_amiga.mak, src/testdir/Make_dos.mak, src/testdir/Make_os2.mak, src/testdir/Make_vms.mms, src/testdir/test51.in, src/testdir/test51.ok Patch 6.2.392 (after 6.2.384) Problem: Unused variable. Solution: Remove "dlen". Files: src/menu.c Patch 6.2.393 Problem: When using very long lines the viminfo file can become very big. Solution: Add the "s" flag to 'viminfo': skip registers with more than the specified Kbyte of text. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/ops.c, src/option.c Patch 6.2.394 (after 6.2.391) Problem: Test 51 fails on a terminal with 8 colors. (Tony Leneis) Solution: Use "DarkBlue" instead of "Blue" to avoid the "bold" attribute. Files: src/testdir/test51.in Patch 6.2.395 Problem: When using ":tag" or ":pop" the previous matching tag is used. But since the current file is different, the ordering of the tags may change. Solution: Remember what the current buffer was for when re-using cur_match. Files: src/edit.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/proto/tag.pro, src/structs.h, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.396 Problem: When CTRL-T jumps to another file and an autocommand moves the cursor to the '" mark, don't end up on the right line. (Michal Malecki) Solution: Set the line number after loading the file. Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.2.397 Problem: When using a double-byte 'encoding' mapping <M-x> doesn't work. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Do not set the 8th bit of the character but use a modifier. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_x11.c, src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.398 (extra) Problem: Win32 console: no extra key modifiers are supported. Solution: Encode the modifiers into the input stream. Also fix that special keys are converted and stop working when 'tenc' is set. Also fix that when 'tenc' is initialized the input and output conversion is not setup properly until 'enc' or 'tenc' is set. Files: src/getchar.c, src/option.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.399 Problem: A ":set" command that fails still writes a message when it is inside a try/catch block. Solution: Include all the text of the message in the error message. Files: src/charset.c, src/option.c Patch 6.2.400 Problem: Can't compile if_xcmdsrv.c on HP-UX 11.0. Solution: Include header file poll.h. (Malte Neumann) Files: src/if_xcmdsrv.c Patch 6.2.401 Problem: When opening a buffer that was previously opened, Vim does not restore the cursor position if the first line starts with white space. (Gregory Margo) Solution: Don't skip restoring the cursor position if it is past the blanks in the first line. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.2.402 Problem: Mac: "make install" doesn't generate help tags. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Generate help tags before copying the runtime files. Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.403 Problem: ":@y" checks stdin if there are more commands to execute. This fails if stdin is not connected, e.g., when starting the GUI from KDE. (Ned Konz) Solution: Only check for a next command if there still is typeahead. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.404 Problem: Our own function to determine width of Unicode characters may get outdated. (Markus Kuhn) Solution: Use wcwidth() when it is available. Also use iswprint(). Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/config.h.in, src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.405 Problem: Cannot map zero without breaking the count before a command. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Disable mapping zero when entering a count. Files: src/getchar.c, src/globals.h, src/normal.c Patch 6.2.406 Problem: ":help \zs", ":help \@=" and similar don't find useful help. Solution: Prepend "/\" to the arguments to find the desired help tag. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.407 (after 6.2.299) Problem: ":help \@<=" doesn't find help. Solution: Avoid that ":help \@<=" searches for the "<=" language. Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.2.408 Problem: ":compiler" is not consistent: Sets local options and a global variable. (Douglas Potts) There is no error message when a compiler is not supported. Solution: Use ":compiler!" to set a compiler globally, otherwise it's local to the buffer and "b:current_compiler" is used. Give an error when no compiler script could be found. Note: updated compiler plugins can be found at ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/compiler/ Files: runtime/compiler/msvc.vim, runtime/doc/quickfix.txt, src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.409 Problem: The cursor ends up in the last column instead of after the line when doing "i//<Esc>o" with 'indentexpr' set to "cindent(v:lnum)". (Toby Allsopp) Solution: Adjust the cursor as if in Insert mode. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.410 (after 6.2.389) Problem: In diff mode, when there are more filler lines than fit in the window, they are not drawn. Solution: Check for filler lines when skipping to draw a line that doesn't fit. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.411 Problem: A "\n" inside a string is not seen as a line break by the regular expression matching. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Add the vim_regexec_nl() function for strings where "\n" is to be matched with a line break. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_eval.c, src/proto/regexp.c, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.412 Problem: Ruby: "ruby << EOF" inside a function doesn't always work. Also for ":python", ":tcl" and ":perl". Solution: Check for "<< marker" and skip until "marker" before checking for "endfunction". Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.413 (after 6.2.411) Problem: Missing prototype for vim_regexec_nl(). (Marcel Svitalsky) Solution: Now really include the prototype. Files: src/proto/regexp.pro Patch 6.2.414 Problem: The function used for custom completion of user commands cannot have <SID> to make it local. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Pass the SID of the script where the user command was defined on to the completion. Also clean up #ifdefs. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/eval.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.415 Problem: Vim may crash after a sequence of events that change the window size. The window layout assumes a larger window than is actually available. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Invoke win_new_shellsize() from screenalloc() instead of from set_shellsize(). Files: src/screen.c, src/term.c Patch 6.2.416 Problem: Compiler warning for incompatible pointer. Solution: Remove the "&" in the call to poll(). (Xavier de Gaye) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.417 (after 6.2.393) Problem: Many people forget that the '"' item in 'viminfo' needs to be preceded with a backslash, Solution: Add '<' as an alias for the '"' item. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/ops.c, src/option.c Patch 6.2.418 Problem: Using ":nnoremap <F12> :echo "cheese" and ":cabbr cheese xxx": when pressing <F12> still uses the abbreviation. (Hari Krishna) Solution: Also apply "noremap" to abbreviations. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.2.419 (extra) Problem: Win32: Cannot open the Vim window inside another application. Solution: Add the "-P" argument to specify the window title of the application to run inside. (Zibo Zhao) Files: runtime/doc/starting.txt, src/main.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c, src/if_ole.cpp, src/os_mswin.c, src/proto/gui_w32.pro Patch 6.2.420 Problem: Cannot specify a file to be edited in binary mode without setting the global value of the 'binary' option. Solution: Support ":edit ++bin file". Files: runtime/doc/editing.txt, src/buffer.c, src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/fileio.c, src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.421 Problem: Cannot set the '[ and '] mark, which may be necessary when an autocommand simulates reading a file. Solution: Allow using "m[" and "m]". Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, src/mark.c Patch 6.2.422 Problem: In CTRL-X completion messages the "/" makes them less readable. Solution: Remove the slashes. (Antony Scriven) Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.423 Problem: ":vertical wincmd ]" does not split vertically. Solution: Add "postponed_split_flags". Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/globals.h, src/if_cscope.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.424 Problem: A BufEnter autocommand that sets an option stops 'mousefocus' from working in Insert mode (Normal mode is OK). (Gregory Seidman) Solution: In the Insert mode loop invoke gui_mouse_correct() when needed. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.425 Problem: Vertical split and command line window: can only drag status line above the cmdline window on the righthand side, not lefthand side. Solution: Check the status line row instead of the window pointer. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.2.426 Problem: A syntax region end match with a matchgroup that includes a line break only highlights the last line with matchgroup. (Gary Holloway) Solution: Also use the line number of the position where the region highlighting ends. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.427 (extra) Problem: When pasting a lot of text in a multibyte encoding, conversion from 'termencoding' to 'encoding' may fail for some characters. (Kuang-che Wu) Solution: When there is an incomplete byte sequence at the end of the read text keep it for the next time. Files: src/mbyte.c, src/os_amiga.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro, src/proto/os_mswin.pro, src/ui.c Patch 6.2.428 Problem: The X11 clipboard supports the Vim selection for char/line/block mode, but since the encoding is not included can't copy/paste between two Vims with a different 'encoding'. Solution: Add a new selection format that includes the 'encoding'. Perform conversion when necessary. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/ui.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.429 Problem: Unix: glob() doesn't work for a directory with a single quote in the name. (Nazri Ramliy) Solution: When using the shell to expand, only put double quotes around spaces and single quotes, not the whole thing. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.430 Problem: BOM at start of a vim script file is not recognized and causes an error message. Solution: Detect the BOM and skip over it. Also fix that after using ":scriptencoding" the iconv() file descriptor was not closed (memory leak). Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.431 Problem: When using the horizontal scrollbar, the scrolling is limited to the length of the cursor line. Solution: Make the scroll limit depend on the longest visible line. The cursor is moved when necessary. Including the 'h' flag in 'guioptions' disables this. Files: runtime/doc/gui.txt, runtime/doc/options.txt, src/gui.c, src/misc2.c, src/option.h Patch 6.2.432 (after 6.2.430 and 6.2.431) Problem: Lint warnings. Solution: Add type casts. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c, src/gui.c Patch 6.2.433 Problem: Translating "VISUAL" and "BLOCK" separately doesn't give a good result. (Alejandro Lopez Valencia) Solution: Use a string for each combination. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.434 (after 6.2.431) Problem: Compiler warning. (Salman Halim) Solution: Add type casts. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.435 Problem: When there are vertically split windows the minimal Vim window height is computed wrong. Solution: Use frame_minheight() to correctly compute the minimal height. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.2.436 Problem: Running the tests changes the user's viminfo file. Solution: In test 49 tell the extra Vim to use the test viminfo file. Files: src/testdir/test49.vim Patch 6.2.437 Problem: ":mksession" always puts "set nocompatible" in the session file. This changes option settings. (Ron Aaron) Solution: Add an "if" to only change 'compatible' when needed. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.438 Problem: When the 'v' flag is present in 'cpoptions', backspacing and then typing text again: one character too much is overtyped before inserting is done again. Solution: Set "dollar_vcol" to the right column. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.439 Problem: GTK 2: Changing 'lines' may cause a mismatch between the window layout and the size of the window. Solution: Disable the hack with force_shell_resize_idle(). Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.440 Problem: When 'lazyredraw' is set the window title is still updated. The size of the Visual area and the ruler are displayed too often. Solution: Postpone redrawing the window title. Only show the Visual area size when waiting for a character. Don't draw the ruler unnecessary. Files: src/buffer.c, src/normal.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.2.441 Problem: ":unabbreviate foo " doesn't work, because of the trailing space, while an abbreviation with a trailing space is not possible. (Paul Jolly) Solution: Accept a match with the lhs of an abbreviation without the trailing space. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.2.442 Problem: Cannot manipulate the command line from a function. Solution: Add getcmdline(), getcmdpos() and setcmdpos() functions and the CTRL-\ e command. Files: runtime/doc/cmdline.txt, runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/eval.c src/ex_getln.c, src/ops.c, src/proto/ex_getln.pro, src/proto/ops.pro Patch 6.2.443 Problem: With ":silent! echoerr something" you don't get the position of the error. emsg() only writes the message itself and returns. Solution: Also redirect the position of the error. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.2.444 Problem: When adding the 'c' flag to a ":substitute" command it may replace more times than without the 'c' flag. Happens for a match that starts with "\ze" (Marcel Svitalsk) and when using "\@<=" (Klaus Bosau). Solution: Correct "prev_matchcol" when replacing the line. Don't replace the line when the pattern uses look-behind matching. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/proto/regexp.pro, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.445 Problem: Copying vimtutor to /tmp/something is not secure, a symlink may cause trouble. Solution: Create a directory and create the file in it. Use "umask" to create the directory with mode 700. (Stefan Nordhausen) Files: src/vimtutor Patch 6.2.446 (after 6.2.404) Problem: Using library functions wcwidth() and iswprint() results in display problems for Hebrew characters. (Ron Aaron) Solution: Disable the code to use the library functions, use our own. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.447 (after 6.2.440) Problem: Now that the title is only updated when redrawing, it is no longer possible to show it while executing a function. (Madoka Machitani) Solution: Make ":redraw" also update the title. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.448 (after 6.2.427) Problem: Mac: conversion done when 'termencoding' differs from 'encoding' fails when pasting a longer text. Solution: Check for an incomplete sequence at the end of the chunk to be converted. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.449 (after 6.2.431) Problem: Get error messages when switching files. Solution: Check for a valid line number when calculating the width of the horizontal scrollbar. (Helmut Stiegler) Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.450 Problem: " #include" and " #define" are not recognized with the default option values for 'include' and 'defined'. (RG Kiran) Solution: Adjust the default values to allow white space before the #. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/option.c Patch 6.2.451 Problem: GTK: when using XIM there are various problems, including setting 'modified' and breaking undo at the wrong moment. Solution: Add "xim_changed_while_preediting", "preedit_end_col" and im_is_preediting(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/globals.h, src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/mbyte.c, src/misc1.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro, src/screen.c, src/undo.c Patch 6.2.452 Problem: In diff mode, when DiffAdd and DiffText highlight settings are equal, an added line is highlighted with DiffChange. (Tom Schumm) Solution: Remember the diff highlight type instead of the attributes. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.453 Problem: ":s/foo\\|\nbar/x/g" does not replace two times in "foo\nbar". (Pavel Papushev) Solution: When the pattern can match a line break also try matching at the NUL at the end of a line. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.454 Problem: ":let b:changedtick" doesn't work. (Alan Schmitt) ":let b:changedtick = 99" does not give an error message. Solution: Add code to recognize ":let b:changedtick". Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.455 (after 6.2.297) Problem: In Python commands the current locale changes how certain Python functions work. (Eugene M. Minkovskii) Solution: Set the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while executing a Python command. Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.456 (extra) Problem: Win32: Editing a file by its Unicode name (dropping it on Vim or using the file selection dialog) doesn't work. (Yakov Lerner, Alex Jakushev) Solution: Use wide character functions when file names are involved and convert from/to 'encoding' where needed. Files: src/gui_w48.c, src/macros.h, src/memfile.c, src/memline.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.457 (after 6.2.244) Problem: When 'encoding' is "utf-8" and writing text with chars above 0x80 in latin1, conversion is wrong every 8200 bytes. (Oyvind Holm) Solution: Correct the utf_ptr2len_check_len() function and fix the problem of displaying 0xf7 in utfc_ptr2len_check_len(). Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.458 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set "$" doesn't move to the end of an unprintable character, causing "y$" not to include that character. (Fred Ma) Solution: Set "coladd" to move the cursor to the end of the character. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.459 (after 6.2.454) Problem: Variable "b" cannot be written. (Salman Halim) Solution: Compare strings properly. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.460 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Compiler warnings for missing prototypes. Solution: Include the missing prototypes. Files: src/proto/os_win32.pro Patch 6.2.461 Problem: After using a search command "x" starts putting single characters in the numbered registers. Solution: Reset "use_reg_one" at the right moment. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.462 Problem: Finding a matching parenthesis does not correctly handle a backslash in a trailing byte. Solution: Handle multibyte characters correctly. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/search.c Patch 6.2.463 (extra) Problem: Win32: An NTFS file system may contain files with extra info streams. The current method to copy them creates one and then deletes it again. (Peter Toennies) Also, only three streams with hard coded names are copied. Solution: Use BackupRead() to check which info streams the original file contains and only copy these streams. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.464 (extra, after 6.2.427) Problem: Amiga: Compilation error with gcc. (Ali Akcaagac) Solution: Move the #ifdef outside of Read(). Files: src/os_amiga.c Patch 6.2.465 Problem: When resizing the GUI window the window manager sometimes moves it left of or above the screen. (Michael McCarty) Solution: Check the window position after resizing it and move it onto the screen when it isn't. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.466 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Win32: Compiling with Borland C fails, and an un/signed warning. Solution: Redefine wcsicmp() to wcscmpi() and add type casts. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.467 (extra, after 6.2.463) Problem: Win32: can't compile without multibyte feature. (Ajit Thakkar) Solution: Add #ifdefs around the info stream code. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.468 Problem: Compiler warnings for shadowed variables. (Matthias Mohr) Solution: Delete superfluous variables and rename others. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_eval.c, src/if_cscope.c, src/fold.c, src/option.c, src/os_unix.c, src/quickfix.c, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.469 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Win32: Can't create swap file when 'encoding' differs from the active code page. (Kriton Kyrimis) Solution: In enc_to_ucs2() terminate the converted string with a NUL Files: src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.470 Problem: The name returned by tempname() may be equal to the file used for shell output when ignoring case. Solution: Skip 'O' and 'I' in tempname(). Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.471 Problem: "-L/usr/lib" is used in the link command, even though it's supposed to be filtered out. "-lw" and "-ldl" are not automatically added when needed for "-lXmu". (Antonio Colombo) Solution: Check for a space after the argument instead of before. Also remove "-R/usr/lib" if it's there. Check for "-lw" and "-ldl" before trying "-lXmu". Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/link.sh Patch 6.2.472 Problem: When using a FileChangedShell autocommand that changes the current buffer, a buffer exists that can't be wiped out. Also, Vim sometimes crashes when executing an external command that changes the buffer and a FileChangedShell autocommand is used. (Hari Krishna Dara) Users are confused by the warning for a file being changed outside of Vim. Solution: Avoid that the window counter for a buffer is incremented twice. Avoid that buf_check_timestamp() is used recursively. Add a hint to look in the help for more info. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.473 Problem: Using CTRL-] in a help buffer without a name causes a crash. Solution: Check for name to be present before using it. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.2.474 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: When Vim is starting up conversion is done unnecessarily. Failure to find the runtime files on Windows 98. (Randall W. Morris) Solution: Init enc_codepage negative, only use it when not negative. Don't use GetFileAttributesW() on Windows 98 or earlier.

(Iestyn Walters) Solution: Add a backslash where it will be removed later. Files: src/main.c, src/misc2.c, src/proto/misc2.pro Patch 6.2.479 Problem: The error message for errors during recovery goes unnoticed. Solution: Avoid that the hit-enter prompt overwrites the message. Add a few lines to make the error stand out. Files: src/main.c, src/message.c, src/memline.c Patch 6.2.480 Problem: NetBeans: Using negative index in array. backslash at end of message may cause Vim to crash. (Xavier de Gaye) Solution: Initialize buf_list_used to zero. Check for trailing backslash. Files: src/netbeans.c Patch 6.2.481 Problem: When writing a file it is not possible to specify that hard and/or symlinks are to be broken instead of preserved. Solution: Add the "breaksymlink" and "breakhardlink" values to 'backupcopy'. (Simon Ekstrand) Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/fileio.c, src/option.c, src/option.h Patch 6.2.482 Problem: Repeating insert of CTRL-K 1 S doesn't work. The superscript 1 is considered to be a digit. (Juergen Kraemer) Solution: In vim_isdigit() only accept '0' to '9'. Use VIM_ISDIGIT() for speed where possible. Also add vim_isxdigit().

(Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/mbyte.c, src/misc2.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro Patch 6.2.492 Problem: When using ":redraw" while there is a message, the next ":echo" still causes text to scroll. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Reset msg_didout and msg_col, so that after ":redraw" the next message overwrites an existing one. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.493 Problem: "@x" doesn't work when 'insertmode' is set. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Put "restart_edit" in the typeahead buffer, so that it's used after executing the register contents. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.494 Problem: Using diff mode with two windows, when moving horizontally in inserted lines, a fold in the other window may open. Solution: Compute the line number in the other window correctly. Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.2.495 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Win32: The file dialog doesn't work on Windows 95. Solution: Put the wide code of gui_mch_browse() in gui_mch_browseW() and use it only on Windows NT/2000/XP. Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.496 Problem: FreeBSD 4.x: When compiled with the pthread library (Python) a complicated pattern may cause Vim to crash. Catching the signal doesn't work. Solution: When compiled with threads, instead of using the normal stacksize limit, use the size of the initial stack. Files: src/auto/configure, src/config.h.in, src/configure.in, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.497 (extra) Problem: Russian messages are only available in one encoding. Solution: Convert the messages to MS-Windows codepages. (Vassily Ragosin) Files: src/po/Makefile Patch 6.2.498 Problem: Non-latin1 help files are not properly supported. Solution: Support utf-8 help files and convert them to 'encoding' when needed. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.499 Problem: When writing a file and halting the system, the file might be lost when using a journaling file system. Solution: Use fsync() to flush the file data to disk after writing a file. (Radim Kolar) Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.500 (extra) Problem: The DOS/MS-Windows the installer doesn't use the --binary flag for diff. Solution: Add --binary to the diff argument in MyDiff(). (Alejandro Lopez- Valencia) Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.2.501 Problem: Vim does not compile with MorphOS. Solution: Add a Makefile and a few changes to make Vim work with MorphOS. (Ali Akcaagac) Files: runtime/doc/os_amiga.txt, src/INSTALLami.txt, src/Make_morphos.mak, src/memfile.c, src/term.c Patch 6.2.502 Problem: Building fails for generating message files. Solution: Add dummy message files. Files: src/po/ca.po, src/po/ru.po, src/po/sv.po Patch 6.2.503 Problem: Mac: Can't compile MacRoman conversions without the GUI. Solution: Also link with the Carbon framework for the terminal version, for the MacRoman conversion functions. (Eckehard Berns) Remove -ltermcap from the GUI link command, it is not needed. Files: src/auto/configure, src/Makefile, src/configure.in Patch 6.2.504 Problem: Various problems with 'cindent', among which that a list of variable declarations is not indented properly. Solution: Fix the wrong indenting. Improve indenting of C++ methods. Add the 'i', 'b' and 'W' options to 'cinoptions'. (mostly by Helmut Stiegler) Improve indenting of preprocessor-continuation lines. Files: runtime/doc/indent.txt, src/misc1.c, src/testdir/test3.in, src/testdir/test3.ok Patch 6.2.505 Problem: Help for -P argument is missing. (Ronald Hoellwarth) Solution: Add the patch that was missing in 6.2.419. Files: runtime/doc/starting.txt Patch 6.2.506 (extra) Problem: Win32: When 'encoding' is a codepage then reading a utf-8 file only works when iconv is available. Writing a file in another codepage uses the wrong kind of conversion. Solution: Use internal conversion functions. Enable reading and writing files with 'fileencoding' different from 'encoding' for all valid codepages and utf-8 without the need for iconv. Files: src/fileio.c, src/testdir/Make_dos.mak, src/testdir/test52.in, src/testdir/test52.ok Patch 6.2.507 Problem: The ownership of the file with the password for the NetBeans connection is not checked. "-nb={file}" doesn't work for GTK. Solution: Only accept the file when owned by the user and not accessible by others. Detect "-nb=" for GTK. Files: src/netbeans.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.508 Problem: Win32: "v:lang" does not show the current language for messages if it differs from the other locale settings. Solution: Use the value of the $LC_MESSAGES environment variable. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.509 (after 6.2.508) Problem: Crash when $LANG is not set. Solution: Add check for NULL pointer. (Ron Aaron) Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.510 (after 6.2.507) Problem: Warning for pointer conversion. Solution: Add a type cast. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.511 Problem: Tags in Russian help files are in utf-8 encoding, which may be different from 'encoding'. Solution: Use the "TAG_FILE_ENCODING" field in the tags file to specify the encoding of the tags. Convert help tags from 'encoding' to the tag file encoding when searching for matches, do the reverse when listing help tags. Files: runtime/doc/tagsrch.txt, src/ex_cmds.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.512 Problem: Translating "\"\n" is useless. (Gerfried Fuchs) Solution: Remove the _() around it. Files: src/main.c, src/memline.c Patch 6.2.513 (after 6.2.507) Problem: NetBeans: the check for owning the connection info file can be simplified. (Nikolay Molchanov) Solution: Only check if the access mode is right. Files: src/netbeans.c Patch 6.2.514 Problem: When a highlight/syntax group name contains invalid characters there is no warning. Solution: Add an error for unprintable characters and a warning for other invalid characters. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.515 Problem: When using the options window 'swapfile' is reset. Solution: Use ":setlocal" instead of ":set". Files: runtime/optwin.vim Patch 6.2.516 Problem: The sign column cannot be seen, looks like there are two spaces before the text. (Rob Retter) Solution: Add the SignColumn highlight group. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, runtime/doc/sign.txt, src/option.c, src/screen.c, src/syntax.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.517 Problem: Using "r" in Visual mode on multibyte characters replaces too many characters. In Visual Block mode replacing with a multibyte character doesn't work. Solution: Adjust the operator end for the difference in byte length of the original and the replaced character. Insert all bytes of a multibyte character, take care of double-wide characters. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.518 Problem: Last line of a window is not updated after using "J" and then "D". (Adri Verhoef) Solution: When no line is found below a change that doesn't need updating, update all lines below the change. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.519 Problem: Mac: cannot read/write files in MacRoman format. Solution: Do internal conversion from/to MacRoman to/from utf-8 and latin1. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.520 (extra) Problem: The NSIS installer is outdated. Solution: Make it work with NSIS 2.0. Also include console executables for Win 95/98/ME and Win NT/2000/XP. Use LZWA compression. Use "/oname" to avoid having to rename files before running NSIS. Files: Makefile, nsis/gvim.nsi Patch 6.2.521 Problem: When using silent Ex mode the "changing a readonly file" warning is omitted but the one second wait isn't. (Yakov Lerner) Solution: Skip the delay when "silent_mode" is set. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.522 Problem: GUI: when changing 'cmdheight' in the gvimrc file the window layout is messed up. (Keith Dart) Solution: Skip updating the window layout when changing 'cmdheight' while still starting up. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.523 Problem: When loading a session and aborting when a swap file already exists, the user is left with useless windows. (Robert Webb) Solution: Load one file before creating the windows. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.524 (extra, after 6.2.520) Problem: Win32: (un)installing gvimext.dll may fail if it was used. The desktop and start menu links are created for the current user instead of all users. Using the home directory as working directory for the links is a bad idea for multi-user systems. Cannot use Vim from the "Open With..." menu. Solution: Force a reboot if necessary. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Also use macros for the directory of the source and runtime files. Use "CSIDL_COMMON_" instead of "CSIDL_" when possible. Do not specify a working directory in the links. Add Vim to the "Open With..." menu. (Giuseppe Bilotta) Files: nsis/gvim.nsi, src/dosinst.c, src/dosinst.h, src/uninstal.c Patch 6.2.525 Problem: When the history contains a very long line ":history" causes a crash. (Volker Kiefel) Solution: Shorten the history entry to fit it in one line. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.2.526 Problem: When s:lang is "ja" the Japanese menus are not used. Solution: Add 'encoding' to the language when there is no charset. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.2.527 Problem: The 2html script uses ":wincmd p", which breaks when using some autocommands. Solution: Remember the window numbers and jump to them with ":wincmd w". Also add XHTML support. (Panagiotis Issaris) Files: runtime/syntax/2html.vim Patch 6.2.528 Problem: NetBeans: Changes of the "~" command are not reported. Solution: Call netbeans_inserted() after performing "~". (Gordon Prieur) Also change NetBeans debugging to append to the log file. Also fix that "~" in Visual block mode changes too much if there are multibyte characters. Files: src/nbdebug.c, src/normal.c, src/ops.c Patch 6.2.529 (extra) Problem: VisVim only works for Admin. Doing it for one user doesn't work. (Alexandre Gouraud) Solution: When registering the module fails, simply continue. Files: src/VisVim/VisVim.cpp Patch 6.2.530 Problem: Warning for missing prototype on the Amiga. Solution: Include time.h Files: src/version.c Patch 6.2.531 Problem: In silent ex mode no messages are given, which makes debugging very difficult. Solution: Do output messages when 'verbose' is set. Files: src/message.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.2.532 (extra) Problem: Compiling for Win32s with VC 4.1 doesn't work. Solution: Don't use CP_UTF8 if it's not defined. Don't use CSIDL_COMMON* when not defined. Files: src/dosinst.h, src/fileio.c Win32 console: After patch 6.2.398 Ex mode did not work. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Patch 6.3a.001 Problem: Win32: if testing for the "--binary" option fails, diff isn't used at all. Solution: Handle the "ok" flag properly. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.3a.002 Problem: NetBeans: An insert command from NetBeans beyond the end of a buffer crashes Vim. (Xavier de Gaye) Solution: Use a local pos_T structure for the position. Files: src/netbeans.c Patch 6.3a.003 Problem: E315 error with auto-formatting comments. (Henry Van Roessel) Solution: Pass the line number to same_leader(). Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.3a.004 Problem: Test32 fails on Windows XP for the DJGPP version. Renaming test11.out fails. Solution: Don't try renaming, create new files to use for the test. Files: src/testdir/test32.in, src/testdir/test32.ok Patch 6.3a.005 Problem: ":checkpath!" does not use 'includeexpr'. Solution: Use a file name that was found directly. When a file was not found and the located name is empty, use the rest of the line. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.3a.006 Problem: "yip" moves the cursor to the first yanked line, but not to the first column. Looks like not all text was yanked. (Jens Paulus) Solution: Move the cursor to the first column. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.3a.007 Problem: 'cindent' recognizes "enum" but not "typedef enum". Solution: Skip over "typedef" before checking for "enum". (Helmut Stiegler) Also avoid that searching for this item goes too far back. Files: src/misc1.c, src/testdir/test3.in, src/testdir/test3.ok Patch 6.3a.008 (extra) Problem: Windows 98: Some of the wide functions are not implemented, resulting in file I/O to fail. This depends on what Unicode support is installed. Solution: Handle the failure and fall back to non-wide functions. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.3a.009 Problem: Win32: Completion of filenames does not work properly when 'encoding' differs from the active code page. Solution: Use wide functions for expanding wildcards when appropriate. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.3a.010 (extra) Problem: Win32: Characters in the window title that do not appear in the active codepage are replaced by a question mark. Solution: Use DefWindowProcW() instead of DefWindowProc() when possible. Files: src/glbl_ime.cpp, src/globals.h, src/proto/gui_w16.pro, src/proto/gui_w32.pro, src/gui_w16.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3a.011 Problem: Using the explorer plugin changes a local directory to the global directory. Solution: Don't use ":chdir" to restore the current directory. Make "expand('%:p')" remove "/../" and "/./" items from the path. Files: runtime/plugin/explorer.vim, src/eval.c, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.3a.012 (extra) Problem: On Windows 98 the installer doesn't work, don't even get the "I agree" button. The check for the path ending in "vim" makes the browse dialog hard to use. The default path when no previous Vim is installed is "c:\vim" instead of "c:\Program Files\Vim". Solution: Remove the background gradient command. Change the .onVerifyInstDir function to a leave function for the directory page. Don't let the install program default to c:\vim when no path could be found. Files: nsis/gvim.nsi, src/dosinst.c Patch 6.3a.013 (extra) Problem: Win32: Characters in the menu that are not in the active codepage are garbled. Solution: Convert menu strings from 'encoding' to the active codepage. Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3a.014 Problem: Using multibyte text and highlighting in a statusline causes gaps to appear. (Helmut Stiegler) Solution: Advance the column by text width instead of number of bytes. Add the vim_strnsize() function. Files: src/charset.c, src/proto/charset.pro, src/screen.c Patch 6.3a.015 Problem: Using the "select all" menu item when 'insertmode' is set and clicking the mouse button doesn't return to Insert mode. The Buffers/Delete menu doesn't offer a choice to abandon a changed buffer. (Jens Paulus) Solution: Don't use CTRL-\ CTRL-N. Add ":confirm" for the Buffers menu items. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.3a.016 Problem: After cancelling the ":confirm" dialog the error message and hit-enter prompt may not be displayed properly. Solution: Flush output after showing the dialog. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.3a.017 Problem: servername() doesn't work when Vim was started with the "-X" argument or when the "exclude" in 'clipboard' matches the terminal name. (Robert Nowotniak) Solution: Force connecting to the X server when using client-server commands. Files: src/eval.c, src/globals.h, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.3a.018 (after 6.3a.017) Problem: Compiler warning for return value of make_connection(). Solution: Use void return type. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.3a.019 (extra) Problem: Win32: typing non-latin1 characters doesn't work. Solution: Invoke _OnChar() directly to avoid that the argument is truncated to a byte. Convert the UTF-16 character to bytes according to 'encoding' and ignore 'termencoding'. Same for _OnSysChar(). Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3a.020 (extra) Problem: Missing support for AROS (AmigaOS reimplementation). Amiga GUI doesn't work. Solution: Add AROS support.

Solution: Put use of "gui.in_use" inside an #ifdef. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.3a.022 Problem: When typing Tabs when 'softtabstop' is used and 'list' is set a tab is counted for two spaces. Solution: Use the "L" flag in 'cpoptions' to tell whether a tab is counted as two spaces or as 'tabstop'. (Antony Scriven) Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/edit.c Patch 6.3a.023 Problem: Completion on the command line doesn't handle backslashes properly. Only the tail of matches is shown, even when not completing filenames. Solution: When turning the string into a pattern double backslashes. Don't omit the path when not expanding files or directories. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.3a.024 Problem: The "save all" toolbar item fails for buffers that don't have a name. When using ":wa" or closing the Vim window and there are nameless buffers, browsing for a name may cause the name being given to the wrong buffer or not stored properly. ":browse" only worked for one file. Solution: Use ":confirm browse" for "save all". Pass buffer argument to setfname(). Restore "browse" flag and "forceit" after doing the work for one file. Files: runtime/menu.vim, src/buffer.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/fileio.c, src/memline.c, src/message.c, src/window.c, src/proto/buffer.pro, src/proto/ex_cmds2.pro, src/proto/memline.pro Patch 6.3a.025 Problem: Setting 'virtualedit' moves the cursor.

Solution: For all wide functions check if it failed because it is not implemented. Use ANSI function declaration for char_to_string(). Files: src/gui_w48.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.3a.027 (extra, after 6.3a.026) Problem: Compiler warning for function argument. Solution: Declare both char and WCHAR arrays. Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3a.028 Problem: ":normal ." doesn't work inside a function, because redo is saved and restored. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Make a copy of the redo buffer when executing a function. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.3b.001 (extra) Problem: Bcc 5: The generated auto/pathdef can't be compiled. Solution: Fix the way quotes and backslashes are escaped. Files: src/Make_bc5.mak Patch 6.3b.002 Problem: Win32: conversion during file write fails when a double-byte character is split over two writes. Solution: Fix the conversion retry without a trailing byte. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.3b.003 (extra) Problem: Win32: When compiling with Borland C 5.5 and 'encoding' is "utf-8" then Vim can't open files under MS-Windows 98. (Antoine J.

(Mathew Davis) Solution: Use the same Paste() function as in menu.vim. Files: runtime/mswin.vim Patch 6.3b.007 Problem: Session file doesn't restore view on windows properly. (Robert Webb) Solution: Restore window sizes both before and after restoring the view, so that the view, cursor position and size are restored properly. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.3b.008 Problem: Using ":finally" in a user command doesn't always work. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Don't assume that using getexline() means the command was typed. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.3b.009 (extra) Problem: Win32: When the -P argument is not found in a window title, there is no error message. Solution: When the window can't be found give an error message and exit. Also use try/except to catch failing to open the MDI window. (Michael Wookey) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.3b.010 Problem: Win32: Using the "-D" argument and expanding arguments may cause a hang, because the terminal isn't initialized yet. (Vince Negri) Solution: Don't go into debug mode before the terminal is initialized. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.3b.011 Problem: Using CTRL-\ e while obtaining an expression aborts the command line.

Solution: Make a copy of 'runtimepath' when looping over the matches. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.3b.015 Problem: Get lalloc(0) error when using "p" in Visual mode while 'clipboard' contains "autoselect,unnamed". (Mark Wagonner) Solution: Avoid allocating zero bytes. Obtain the clipboard when necessary. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.3b.016 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is used "x" doesn't delete the last character of a line that has as many characters as 'columns'. (Yakov Lerner) Solution: When the cursor isn't moved let oneright() return FAIL. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.3b.017 Problem: Win32: "vim --remote-wait" doesn't exit when the server finished editing the file.

Files: src/normal.c ============================================================================== VERSION 6.4 version-6.4* This section is about improvements made between version 6.3 and 6.4. This is a bug-fix release. There are also a few new features. The major number of new items is in the runtime files and translations. The big MS-Windows version now uses: Ruby version 1.8.3 Perl version 5.8.7 Python version 2.4.2 Changed changed-6.4 ------- Removed runtime/tools/tcltags, Exuberant ctags does it better. Added added-6.4 ----- Alsaconf syntax file (Nikolai Weibull) Eruby syntax, indent, compiler and ftplugin file (Doug Kearns) Esterel syntax file (Maurizio Tranchero) Mathematica indent file (Steve Layland) Netrc syntax file (Nikolai Weibull) PHP compiler file (Doug Kearns) Pascal indent file (Neil Carter) Prescribe syntax file (Klaus Muth) Rubyunit compiler file (Doug Kearns) SMTPrc syntax file (Kornel Kielczewski) Sudoers syntax file (Nikolai Weibull) TPP syntax file (Gerfried Fuchs) VHDL ftplugin file (R. Shankar) Verilog-AMS syntax file (S. Myles Prather) Bulgarian keymap (Alberto Mardegan) Canadian keymap (Eric Joanis) Hungarian menu translations in UTF-8 (Kantra Gergely) Ukrainian menu translations (Bohdan Vlasyuk) Irish message translations (Kevin Patrick Scannell) Configure also checks for tclsh8.4. Fixed fixed-6.4 ----- "dFxd;" deleted the character under the cursor, "d;" didn't remember the exclusiveness of the motion. When using "set laststatus=2 cmdheight=2" in the .gvimrc you may only get one line for the cmdline. (Christian Robinson) Invoke command_height() after the GUI has started up. Gcc would warn "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict -aliasing rules". Avoid using typecasts for variable pointers. Gcc 3.x interprets the -MM argument differently. Change "-I /path" to "-isystem /path" for "make depend". Patch 6.3.001 Problem: ":browse split" gives the file selection dialog twice. (Gordon Bazeley) Same problem for ":browse diffpatch". Solution: Reset cmdmod.browse before calling do_ecmd(). Files: src/diff.c, src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.3.002 Problem: When using translated help files with non-ASCII latin1 characters in the first line the utf-8 detection is wrong. Solution: Properly detect utf-8 characters. When a mix of encodings is detected continue with the next language and avoid a "no matches" error because of "got_int" being set. Add the directory name to the error message for a duplicate tag. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.3.003 Problem: Crash when using a console dialog and the first choice does not have a default button. (Darin Ohashi) Solution: Allocate two more characters for the [] around the character for the default choice. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.3.004 Problem: When searching for a long string (140 chars in a 80 column terminal) get three hit-enter prompts.

Files: src/message.c, src/search.c Patch 6.3.005 Problem: Crash when searching for a pattern with a character offset and starting in a closed fold. (Frank Butler) Solution: Check for the column to be past the end of the line. Also fix that a pattern with a character offset relative to the end isn't read back from the viminfo properly. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.3.006 Problem: ":breakadd file foo" prepends the current directory to the file pattern. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Keep the pattern as-is. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.3.007 Problem: When there is a buffer with 'buftype' set to "nofile" and using a ":cd" command, the swap file is not deleted when exiting. Solution: Use the full path of the swap file also for "nofile" buffers. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.3.008 Problem: Compiling fails under OS/2. Solution: Include "e_screenmode" also for OS/2. (David Sanders) Files: src/globals.h Patch 6.3.009 (after 6.3.006) Problem: ":breakadd file /path/foo.vim" does not match when a symbolic link is involved. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Do expand the pattern when it does not start with "". Files: runtime/doc/repeat.txt, src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.3.010 Problem: When writing to a named pipe there is an error for fsync() failing. Solution: Ignore the fsync() error for devices. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.3.011 Problem: Crash when the completion function of a user-command uses a "normal :cmd" command. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Save the command line when invoking the completion function. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.3.012 Problem: Internal lalloc(0) error when using a complicated multi-line pattern in a substitute command. (Luc Hermitte) Solution: Avoid going past the end of a line. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.3.013 Problem: Crash when editing a command line and typing CTRL-R = to evaluate a function that uses "normal :cmd". (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Save and restore the command line when evaluating an expression for CTRL-R =. Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/ops.c, src/proto/ex_getln.pro, src/proto/ops.pro Patch 6.3.014 Problem: When using Chinese or Taiwanese the default for 'helplang' is wrong. (Simon Liang) Solution: Use the part of the locale name after "zh_". Files: src/option.c Patch 6.3.015 Problem: The string that winrestcmd() returns may end in garbage. Solution: NUL-terminate the string. (Walter Briscoe) Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.3.016 Problem: The default value for 'define' has "\s" before '#'. Solution: Add a star after "\s".

Solution: Check for the last byte to be part of a multibyte character. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.3.022 (extra) Problem: Win32: When the last character of a file name is a multibyte character and the last byte is a path separator, the file cannot be written. A trail byte that is a space makes that a file cannot be opened from the command line. Solution: Recognize double-byte characters when parsing the command line. In mch_stat() check for the last byte to be part of a multibyte character. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/gui_w48.c, src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.3.023 Problem: When the "to" part of a mapping starts with its "from" part, abbreviations for the same characters is not possible. For example, when <Space> is mapped to something that starts with a space, typing <Space> does not expand abbreviations. Solution: Only disable expanding abbreviations when a mapping is not remapped, don't disable it when the RHS of a mapping starts with the LHS. Files: src/getchar.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.3.024 Problem: In a few places a string in allocated memory is not terminated with a NUL.

Files: src/option.c, src/syntax.c Patch 6.3.027 Problem: VMS: Writing a file may insert extra CR characters. Not all terminals are recognized correctly. Vt320 doesn't support colors. Environment variables are not expanded correctly. Solution: Use another method to write files. Add vt320 termcap codes for colors. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: src/fileio.c, src/misc1.c, src/os_unix.c, src/structs.h, src/term.c Patch 6.3.028 Problem: When appending to a file the BOM marker may be written. (Alex Jakushev) Solution: Do not write the BOM marker when appending. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.3.029 Problem: Crash when inserting a line break. (Walter Briscoe) Solution: In the syntax highlighting code, don't use an old state after a change was made, current_col may be past the end of the line. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.3.030 Problem: GTK 2: Crash when sourcing a script that deletes the menus, sets 'encoding' to "utf-8" and loads the menus again. GTK error message when tooltip text is in a wrong encoding. Solution: Don't copy characters from the old screen to the new screen when switching 'encoding' to utf-8, they may be invalid.

Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.3.033 Problem: When a mapping ends in a Normal mode command of more than one character Vim doesn't return to Insert mode. Solution: Check that the mapping has ended after obtaining all characters of the Normal mode command. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.3.034 Problem: VMS: crash when using ":help". Solution: Avoid using "tags-??", some Open VMS systems can't handle the "?" wildcard. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.3.035 (extra) Problem: RISC OS: Compile errors. Solution: Change e_screnmode to e_screenmode. Change the way __riscosify_control is set. Improve the makefile.

Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3.039 Problem: When 'number' is set and inserting lines just above the first displayed line (in another window on the same buffer), the line numbers are not updated. (Hitier Sylvain) Solution: When 'number' is set and lines are inserted/deleted redraw all lines below the change. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.3.040 Problem: Error handling does not always work properly and may cause a buffer to be marked as if it's viewed in a window while it isn't. Also when selecting "Abort" at the attention prompt. Solution: Add enter_cleanup() and leave_cleanup() functions to move saving/restoring things for error handling to one place. Clear a buffer read error when it's unloaded.

Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3.053 Problem: Win32: ":loadview" cannot find a file with non-ASCII characters. (Valerie Kondakoff) Solution: Use mch_open() instead of open() to open the file. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.3.054 Problem: When 'insertmode' is set <C-L>4ixxx<C-L> hangs Vim. (Jens Paulus) Vim is actually still working but redraw is disabled. Solution: When stopping Insert mode with CTRL-L don't put an Esc in the redo buffer but a CTRL-L. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.3.055 (after 6.3.013) Problem: Can't use getcmdline(), getcmdpos() or setcmdpos() with <C-R>= when editing a command line. Using <C-\>e may crash Vim. (Peter Winters) Solution: When moving ccline out of the way for recursive use, make it available to the functions that need it. Also save and restore ccline when calling get_expr_line(). Make ccline.cmdbuf NULL at the end of getcmdline(). Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.3.056 Problem: The last characters of a multibyte file name may not be displayed in the window title.

Check this list if you run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0. A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer, unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' \|cpo-+\|. This was illogical, since the buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that ":quit" fails now. ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match. In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi. Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~ :edit foo\"888 foo"888 foo"888 :next foo\"888 foo888 foo"888 :next a\"b c\"d ab cd a"b and c"d In a \|literal-string\| a single quote can be doubled to get one. ":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it results in "a'b". When overwriting a file with ":w! fname" there was no warning for when "fname" was being edited by another Vim. Vim now gives an error message \|E768\|. The support for Mac OS 9 has been removed. Files ending in .tex now have 'filetype' set to "context", "plaintex", or "tex". \|ft-tex-plugin\| Minor incompatibilities: For filetype detection: For many types, use /.dir/filename instead of ~/.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files. For quite a few filetypes the indent settings have been moved from the filetype plugin to the indent plugin. If you used: > :filetype plugin on Then some indent settings may be missing. You need to use: > :filetype plugin indent on ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one. Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code. Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile". When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name, they are not useful. The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML looks like it's displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR", or "let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by Carl Osterwisch) Diff mode is now also converted to HTML as it is displayed. Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without changing 'winaltkeys'. When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010". When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings' now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a non-latin1 environment, such as Russian. Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit. Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option. Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>, <xF1>, etc. ":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line. When a .gvimrc file exists then 'compatible' is off, just like when a ".vimrc" file exists. When making a string upper-case with "vlllU" or similar then the German sharp s is replaced with "SS". This does not happen with "~" to avoid backwards compatibility problems and because "SS" can't be changed back to a sharp s. "gd" previously found the very first occurrence of a variable in a function, that could be the function argument without type. Now it finds the position where the type is given. The line continuation in functions was not taken into account, line numbers in errors were logical lines, not lines in the sourced file. That made it difficult to locate errors. Now the line number in the sourced file is reported, relative to the function start. This also means that line numbers for ":breakadd func" are different. When defining a user command with \|:command\| the special items could be abbreviated. This caused unexpected behavior, such as <li> being recognized as <line1>. The items can no longer be abbreviated. When executing a FileChangedRO autocommand it is no longer allowed to switch to another buffer or edit another file. This is to prevent crashes (the event is triggered deep down in the code where changing buffers is not anticipated). It is still possible to reload the buffer. At the \|more-prompt\| and the \|hit-enter-prompt\|, when the 'more' option is set, the 'k', 'u', 'g' and 'b' keys are now used to scroll back to previous messages. Thus they are no longer used as typeahead. ============================================================================== NEW FEATURES new-7* Vim script enhancements new-vim-script ----------------------- In Vim scripts the following types have been added: \|List\| ordered list of items \|Dictionary\| associative array of items \|Funcref\| reference to a function Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types. The \|string()\| function can be used to get a string representation of a variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then \|eval()\| can be used to turn the string back into the variable value. The \|:let\| command can now use "+=", "-=" and ".=": > :let var += expr " works like :let var = var + expr :let var -= expr " works like :let var = var - expr :let var .= string " works like :let var = var . string With the \|:profile\| command you can find out where your function or script is wasting time. In the Python interface vim.eval() also handles Dictionaries and Lists. \|python-eval\| (G. Sumner Hayes) The \|getscript\| plugin was added as a convenient way to update scripts from www.vim.org automatically. (Charles Campbell) The \|vimball\| plugin was added as a convenient way to distribute a set of files for a plugin (plugin file, autoload script, documentation). (Charles Campbell) Spell checking new-spell -------------- Spell checking has been integrated in Vim. There were a few implementations with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program. The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the accepted language(s) The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added The 'spellsuggest' option specifies the methods used for making suggestions The \|]s\| and \|[s\| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error The \|zg\| and \|zw\| commands can be used to add good and wrong words The \|z=\| command can be used to list suggestions and correct the word The \|:mkspell\| command is used to generate a Vim spell file from word lists The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki). The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and background. The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax highlighting and marking the Visual area. Much more info here: \|spell\|. Omni completion new-omni-completion --------------- This could also be called "intellisense", but that is a trademark. It is a smart kind of completion. The text in front of the cursor is inspected to figure out what could be following. This may suggest struct and class members, system functions, etc. Use CTRL-X CTRL-O in Insert mode to start the completion. \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O\| The 'omnifunc' option is set by filetype plugins to define the function that figures out the completion. Currently supported languages: C \|ft-c-omni\| (X)HTML with CSS \|ft-html-omni\| JavaScript \|ft-javascript-omni\| PHP \|ft-php-omni\| Python Ruby \|ft-ruby-omni\| SQL \|ft-sql-omni\| XML \|ft-xml-omni\| any language with syntax highlighting \|ft-syntax-omni\| You can add your own omni completion scripts. When the 'completeopt' option contains "menu" then matches for Insert mode completion are displayed in a (rather primitive) popup menu. MzScheme interface new-MzScheme ------------------ The MzScheme interpreter is supported. \|MzScheme\| The \|:mzscheme\| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands The \|:mzfile\| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file This depends on Vim being compiled with the \|+mzscheme\| feature. Printing multibyte text new-print-multibyte ------------------------ The \|:hardcopy\| command now supports printing multibyte characters when using PostScript. The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this. Also see \|postscript-cjk-printing\|. (Mike Williams) Tab pages new-tab-pages --------- A tab page is a page with one or more windows with a label (aka tab) at the top. By clicking on the label you can quickly switch between the tab pages. And with the keyboard, using the \|gt\| (Goto Tab) command. This is a convenient way to work with many windows. To start Vim with each file argument in a separate tab page use the \|-p\| argument. The maximum number of pages can be set with 'tabpagemax'. The line with tab labels is either made with plain text and highlighting or with a GUI mechanism. The GUI labels look better but are only available on a few systems. The line can be customized with 'tabline', 'guitablabel' and 'guitabtooltip'. Whether it is displayed is set with 'showtabline'. Whether to use the GUI labels is set with the "e" flag in 'guioptions'. The \|:tab\| command modifier can be used to have most commands that open a new window open a new tab page instead. The \|--remote-tab\| argument can be used to edit a file in a new tab page in an already running Vim server. Variables starting with "t:" are local to a tab page. More info here: \|tabpage\| Most of the GUI stuff was implemented by Yegappan Lakshmanan. Undo branches new-undo-branches ------------- Previously there was only one line of undo-redo. If, after undoing a number of changes, a new change was made all the undone changes were lost. This could lead to accidentally losing work. Vim now makes an undo branch in this situation. Thus you can go back to the text after any change, even if they were undone. So long as you do not run into 'undolevels', when undo information is freed up to limit the memory used. To be able to navigate the undo branches each change is numbered sequentially. The commands \|g-\| and \|:earlier\| go back in time, to older changes. The commands \|g+\| and \|:later\| go forward in time, to newer changes. The changes are also timestamped. Use ":earlier 10m" to go to the text as it was about ten minutes earlier. The \|:undolist\| command can be used to get an idea of which undo branches exist. The \|:undo\| command now takes an argument to directly jump to a specific position in this list. The \|changenr()\| function can be used to obtain the change number. There is no graphical display of the tree with changes, navigation can be quite confusing. Extended Unicode support new-more-unicode ------------------------ Previously only two combining characters were displayed. The limit is now raised to 6. This can be set with the 'maxcombine' option. The default is still 2. \|ga\| now shows all combining characters, not just the first two. Previously only 16 bit Unicode characters were supported for displaying. Now the full 32 bit character set can be used. Unless manually disabled at compile time to save a bit of memory. For pattern matching it is now possible to search for individual composing characters. \|patterns-composing\| The \|8g8\| command searches for an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence. More highlighting new-more-highlighting ----------------- Highlighting matching parens: When moving the cursor through the text and it is on a paren, then the matching paren can be highlighted. This uses the new \|CursorMoved\| autocommand event. This means some commands are executed every time you move the cursor. If this slows you down too much switch it off with: > :NoMatchParen See \|matchparen\| for more information. The plugin uses the \|:match\| command. It now supports three match patterns. The plugin uses the third one. The first one is for the user and the second one can be used by another plugin. Highlighting the cursor line and column: The 'cursorline' and 'cursorcolumn' options have been added. These highlight the screen line and screen column of the cursor. This makes the cursor position easier to spot. 'cursorcolumn' is also useful to align text. This may make screen updating quite slow. The CursorColumn and CursorLine highlight groups allow changing the colors used. \|hl-CursorColumn\| \|hl-CursorLine\| The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax highlighting, marking the Visual area, CursorColumn, etc. Translated manual pages new-manpage-trans ----------------------- The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in several other languages. French - translated by David Blanchet Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin Polish - translated by Mikolaj Machowski The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/, .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file is used there as a best guess. Other languages are installed in similar places. The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will do it anyway. Internal grep new-vimgrep ------------- The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files. This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files. \|:vimgrep\|. If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the \|getqflist()\| function. To grep files in various directories the "" pattern can be used. It expands into an arbitrary depth of directories. "" can be used in all places where file names are expanded, thus also with \|:next\| and \|:args\|. Scroll back in messages new-scroll-back ----------------------- When displaying messages, at the \|more-prompt\| and the \|hit-enter-prompt\|, The 'k', 'u', 'g' and 'b' keys can be used to scroll back to previous messages. This is especially useful for commands such as ":syntax", ":autocommand" and ":highlight". This is implemented in a generic way thus it works for all commands and highlighting is kept. Only works when the 'more' option is set. Previously it only partly worked for ":clist". The \|g<\| command can be used to see the last page of messages after you have hit <Enter> at the \|hit-enter-prompt\|. Then you can scroll further back. Cursor past end of the line new-onemore --------------------------- When the 'virtualedit' option contains "onemore" the cursor can move just past the end of the line. As if it's on top of the line break. This makes some commands more consistent. Previously the cursor was always past the end of the line if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi compatible. It may also break some plugins or Vim scripts. Use with care! The patch was provided by Mattias Flodin. POSIX compatibility new-posix ------------------- The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See \|posix\|. Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibility: - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to 'cpoptions' \|cpo-X\| - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' \|cpo--\| - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the '&' flag to 'cpoptions' \|cpo-&\| - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit. - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}. - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in 'cpoptions'. - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number". - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified. - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line above or below the new lines. - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command. - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines. - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line. - The \|:open\| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do. - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe"). - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed. - The ":@@" and ":*" give an error message when no register was used before. - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'. - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert. - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line. - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and CTRL-T cannot be handled then. - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines. - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started. - Implemented the 'prompt' option. Debugger support new-debug-support* ---------------- The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the mouse pointer. Remote file explorer new-netrw-explore -------------------- The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used. Deleting and renaming files is possible. To avoid duplicating a lot of code, the previous file explorer plugin has been integrated in the netrw plugin. This means browsing local and remote files works the same way. ":browse edit" and ":browse split" use the netrw plugin when it's available and a GUI dialog is not possible. The netrw plugin is maintained by Charles Campbell. Define an operator new-define-operator ------------------ Previously it was not possible to define your own operator; a command that is followed by a {motion}. Vim 7 introduces the 'operatorfunc' option and the \|g@\| operator. This makes it possible to define a mapping that works like an operator. The actual work is then done by a function, which is invoked through the \|g@\| operator. See \|:map-operator\| for the explanation and an example. Mapping to an expression new-map-expression ------------------------ The {rhs} argument of a mapping can be an expression. That means the resulting characters can depend on the context. Example: > :inoremap <expr> . InsertDot() Here the dot will be mapped to whatever InsertDot() returns. This also works for abbreviations. See \|:map-<expr>\| for the details. Visual and Select mode mappings new-map-select ------------------------------- Previously Visual mode mappings applied both to Visual and Select mode. With a trick to have the mappings work in Select mode like they would in Visual mode. Commands have been added to define mappings for Visual and Select mode separately: \|:xmap\| and \|:smap\|. With the associated "noremap" and "unmap" commands. The same is done for menus: \|:xmenu\|, \|:smenu\|, etc. Location list new-location-list ------------- The support for a per-window quickfix list (location list) is added. The location list can be displayed in a location window (similar to the quickfix window). You can open more than one location list window. A set of commands similar to the quickfix commands are added to browse the location list. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Various new items new-items-7 ----------------- Normal mode commands: ~ a", a' and a` New text objects to select quoted strings. \|a'\| i", i' and i` (Taro Muraoka) CTRL-W <Enter> In the quickfix window: opens a new window to show the location of the error under the cursor. \|at\| and \|it\| text objects select a block of text between HTML or XML tags. <A-LeftMouse> ('mousemodel' "popup" or "popup-setpos") <A-RightMouse> ('mousemodel' "extend") Make a blockwise selection. \|<A-LeftMouse>\| gF Start editing the filename under the cursor and jump to the line number following the file name. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) CTRL-W F Start editing the filename under the cursor in a new window and jump to the line number following the file name. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Insert mode commands: ~ CTRL-\ CTRL-O Execute a Normal mode command. Like CTRL-O but without moving the cursor. \|i_CTRL-\_CTRL-O\| Options: ~ 'balloonexpr' expression for text to show in evaluation balloon 'completefunc' The name of the function used for user-specified Insert mode completion. CTRL-X CTRL-U can be used in Insert mode to do any kind of completion. (Taro Muraoka) 'completeopt' Enable popup menu and other settings for Insert mode completion. 'cursorcolumn' highlight column of the cursor 'cursorline' highlight line of the cursor 'formatexpr' expression for formatting text with \|gq\| and when text goes over 'textwidth' in Insert mode. 'formatlistpat' pattern to recognize a numbered list for formatting. (idea by Hugo Haas) 'fsync' Whether fsync() is called after writing a file. (Ciaran McCreesh) 'guitablabel' expression for text to display in GUI tab page label 'guitabtooltip' expression for text to display in GUI tab page tooltip 'macatsui' Mac: use ATSUI text display functions 'maxcombine' maximum number of combining characters displayed 'maxmempattern' maximum amount of memory to use for pattern matching 'mkspellmem' parameters for \|:mkspell\| memory use 'mzquantum' Time in msec to schedule MzScheme threads. 'numberwidth' Minimal width of the space used for the 'number' and 'relativenumber' option. (Emmanuel Renieris) 'omnifunc' The name of the function used for omni completion. 'operatorfunc' function to be called for \|g@\| operator 'printmbcharset' CJK character set to be used for :hardcopy 'printmbfont' font names to be used for CJK output of :hardcopy 'pumheight' maximum number of items to show in the popup menu 'quoteescape' Characters used to escape quotes inside a string. Used for the a", a' and a` text objects. \|a'\| 'shelltemp' whether to use a temp file or pipes for shell commands 'showtabline' whether to show the tab pages line 'spell' switch spell checking on/off 'spellcapcheck' pattern to locate the end of a sentence 'spellfile' file where good and wrong words are added 'spelllang' languages to check spelling for 'spellsuggest' methods for spell suggestions 'synmaxcol' maximum column to look for syntax items; avoids very slow redrawing when there are very long lines 'tabline' expression for text to display in the tab pages line 'tabpagemax' maximum number of tab pages to open for \|-p\| 'verbosefile' Log messages in a file. 'wildoptions' "tagfile" value enables listing the file name of matching tags for CTRL-D command line completion. (based on an idea from Yegappan Lakshmanan) 'winfixwidth' window with fixed width, similar to 'winfixheight' Ex commands: ~ Win32: The ":winpos" command now also works in the console.

Fox) New message translations: ~ The Ukrainian messages are now also available in cp1251. Vietnamese message translations and menu. (Phan Vinh Thinh) Others: ~ The \|:read\| command has the \|++edit\| argument. This means it will use the detected 'fileformat', 'fileencoding' and other options for the buffer. This also fixes the problem that editing a compressed file didn't set these options. The Netbeans interface was updated for Sun Studio 10. The protocol number goes from 2.2 to 2.3. (Gordon Prieur) Mac: When starting up Vim will load the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim script to define default command-key mappings. (mostly by Benji Fisher) Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns) Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using "yyp". Mac: GUI font selector. (Peter Cucka) Mac: support for multibyte characters. (Da Woon Jung) This doesn't always work properly. If you see text drawing problems try switching the 'macatsui' option off. Mac: Support the xterm mouse in the non-GUI version. Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung) Mac: When started from Finder change directory to the file being edited or the user home directory. Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode. To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values, they are not supported by termcap/terminfo. GUI font selector for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki) Nicer toolbar buttons for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki) Mnemonics for the Motif find/replace dialog. (Marcin Dalecki) Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and a bit less dependent on the X11 font management. Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See \|autocmd-buflocal\|. (Yakov Lerner) For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized. \|xterm-modifier-keys\| When 'verbose' is set the output of ":highlight" will show where a highlight item was last set. When 'verbose' is set the output of the ":map", ":abbreviate", ":command", ":function" and ":autocmd" commands will show where it was last defined. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) ":function /pattern" lists functions matching the pattern. "1gd" can be used like "gd" but ignores matches in a {} block that ends before the cursor position. Likewise for "1gD" and "gD". 'scrolljump' can be set to a negative number to scroll a percentage of the window height. The \|v:scrollstart\| variable has been added to help find the location in your script that causes the hit-enter prompt. To make it possible to handle the situation that a file is being edited that is already being edited by another Vim instance, the \|SwapExists\| event has been added. The \|v:swapname\|, \|v:swapchoice\| and \|v:swapcommand\| variables can be used, for example to use the \|client-server\| functionality to bring the other Vim to the foreground. When starting Vim with a "-t tag" argument, there is an existing swapfile and the user selects "quit" or "abort" then exit Vim. Undo now also restores the '< and '> marks. "gv" selects the same area as before the change and undo. When editing a search pattern for a "/" or "?" command and 'incsearch' is set CTRL-L can be used to add a character from the current match. CTRL-R CTRL-W will add a word, but exclude the part of the word that was already typed. Ruby interface: add line number methods. (Ryan Paul) The $MYVIMRC environment variable is set to the first found vimrc file. The $MYGVIMRC environment variable is set to the first found gvimrc file. ============================================================================== IMPROVEMENTS improvements-7 ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it". Moved the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now. When doing completion for ":!cmd", ":r !cmd" or ":w !cmd" executable files are found in $PATH instead of looking for ordinary files in the current directory. When ":silent" is used and a backwards range is given for an Ex command the range is swapped automatically instead of asking if that is OK. The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that. Previously some options were always evaluated in the \|sandbox\|. Now that only happens when the option was set from a modeline or in secure mode. Applies to 'balloonexpr', 'foldexpr', 'foldtext' and 'includeexpr'. (Sumner Hayes) Some commands and expressions could have nasty side effects, such as using CTRL-R = while editing a search pattern and the expression invokes a function that jumps to another window. The \|textlock\| has been added to prevent this from happening. ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a breakpoint at the cursor. It is now possible to define a function with: > :exe "func Test()\n ...\n endfunc" The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and text was added to explain a few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann. Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display it. (Johannes Zellner) Mac and Cygwin: When editing an existing file make the file name the same case of the edited file. Thus when typing ":e os_UNIX.c" the file name becomes "os_unix.c". Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet) Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that does not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd autocommands. For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev) - square brackets are recognized properly - #$, #$, #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher) winnr() takes an optional "$" or "#" argument. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added 's' flag to search(): set ' mark if cursor moved. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull) Added 'c' flag to search(): accept match at the cursor. Added 'e' flag to search(): move to end of the match. (Benji Fisher) Added 'p' flag to search(): return number of sub-pattern. (Benji Fisher) These also apply to searchpos(), searchpair() and searchpairpos(). The search() and searchpair() functions have an extra argument to specify where to stop searching. Speeds up searches that should not continue too far. When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott) When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax. (Michael Geddes) Support setting 'filetype' and 'syntax' to "aaa.bbb" for "aaa" plus "bbb" filetype or syntax. The ":registers" command now displays multibyte characters properly. VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes. (Zoltan Arpadffy) For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number of buffers. For recognizing the file type: When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras) Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that digraphs still work when iconv is not available. When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer list. Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it. (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro) Win32: Vim was not aware of hard links on NTFS file systems. These are detected now for when 'backupcopy' is "auto". Also fixed a bogus "file has been changed since reading it" error for links. When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* / comments where the first line is just "/". When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much more reliable. Unix: When editing a file through a symlink the swap file would use the name of the symlink. Now use the name of the actual file, so that editing the same file twice is detected. (suggestions by Stefano Zacchiroli and James Vega) Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding' in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console, "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages. Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be incremented/decremented each time. When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file. Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete. ":redir @>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for invalid characters after the register name. \|:redir\| ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) \|:redir\| ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to log startup messages. ":let g:" lists global variables. ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables. ":let w:" lists window-local variables. ":let v:" lists Vim variables. The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it. The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When the line number is just below the last line the line is appended. g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of bytes. Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip ":" between range and command name. (Peter Winters) CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was ignored. When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep will result in a message with the source of the error. When completing buffer names, match with "$^\\|[\/]$" instead of "^", so that ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c". To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has been added to \|:substitute\|. See \|count-items\|. In a \|:substitute\| command the \u, \U, \l and \L items now also work for multibyte characters. The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for 'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin" and "putty". The \|FileChangedShell\| autocommand event can now use the \|v:fcs_reason\| variable that specifies what triggered the event. \|v:fcs_choice\| can be used to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do. Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the possibility in term codes to end in ";X" or "OX", where X is any character and the stands for the modifier code. Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible modifiers. getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified window. Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added the "%>" item to 'errorformat'. For 'errorformat' it was not possible to have a file name that contains the character that follows after "%f". For example, in "%f:%l:%m" the file name could not contain ":". Now include the first ":" where the rest of the pattern matches. In the example a ":" not followed by a line number is included in the file name. (suggested by Emanuele Giaquinta) GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb. Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were used. Win32: If the user changes the setting for the number of lines a scroll wheel click scrolls it is now used immediately. Previously Vim would need to be restarted. When using @= in an expression the value is expression @= contains. ":let @= = value" can be used to set the register contents. A ! can be added to ":popup" to have the popup menu appear at the mouse pointer position instead of the text cursor. The table with encodings has been expanded with many MS-Windows codepages, such as cp1250 and cp737, so that these can also be used on Unix without prepending "8bit-". When an encoding name starts with "microsoft-cp" ignore the "microsoft-" part. Added the "customlist" completion argument to a user-defined command. The user-defined completion function should return the completion candidates as a Vim List and the returned results are not filtered by Vim. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Win32: Balloons can have multiple lines if common controls supports it. (Sergey Khorev) For command-line completion the matches for various types of arguments are now sorted: user commands, variables, syntax names, etc. When no locale is set, thus using the "C" locale, Vim will work with latin1 characters, using its own isupper()/toupper()/etc. functions. When using an rxvt terminal emulator guess the value of 'background' using the COLORFGBG environment variable. (Ciaran McCreesh) Also support t_SI and t_EI on Unix with normal features. (Ciaran McCreesh) When 'foldcolumn' is one then put as much info in it as possible. This allows closing a fold with the mouse by clicking on the '-'. input() takes an optional completion argument to specify the type of completion supported for the input. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) "dp" works with more than two buffers in diff mode if there is only one where 'modifiable' is set. The 'diffopt' option has three new values: "horizontal", "vertical" and "foldcolumn". When the 'include' option contains \zs the file name found is what is being matched from \zs to the end or \ze. Useful to pass more to 'includeexpr'. Loading plugins on startup now supports subdirectories in the plugin directory. \|load-plugins\| In the foldcolumn always show the '+' for a closed fold, so that it can be opened easily. It may overwrite another character, esp. if 'foldcolumn' is 1. It is now possible to get the W10 message again by setting 'readonly'. Useful in the FileChangedRO autocommand when checking out the file fails. Unix: When open() returns EFBIG give an appropriate message. ":mksession" sets the SessionLoad variable to notify plugins. A modeline is added to the session file to set 'filetype' to "vim". In the ATTENTION prompt put the "Delete it" choice before "Quit" to make it more logical. (Robert Webb) When appending to a file while the buffer has no name the name of the appended file would be used for the current buffer. But the buffer contents is actually different from the file content. Don't set the file name, unless the 'P' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. When starting to edit a new file and the directory for the file doesn't exist then Vim will report "[New DIRECTORY]" instead of "[New File] to give the user a hint that something might be wrong. Win32: Preserve the hidden attribute of the viminfo file. In Insert mode CTRL-A didn't keep the last inserted text when using CTRL-O and then a cursor key. Now keep the previously inserted text if nothing is inserted after the CTRL-O. Allows using CTRL-O commands to move the cursor without losing the last inserted text. The exists() function now supports checking for autocmd group definition and for supported autocommand events. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Allow using ":global" in the sandbox, it doesn't do anything harmful by itself. ":saveas asdf.c" will set 'filetype' to c when it's empty. Also for ":w asdf.c" when it sets the filename for the buffer. Insert mode completion for whole lines now also searches unloaded buffers. The colortest.vim script can now be invoked directly with ":source" or ":runtime syntax/colortest.vim". The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan) The 'statusline' option and other options that support the same format can now use these new features: - When it starts with "%!" the value is first evaluated as an expression before parsing the value. - "%#HLname#" can be used to start highlighting with HLname. When 'statusline' is set to something that causes an error message then it is made empty to avoid an endless redraw loop. Also for other options, such at 'tabline' and 'titlestring'. ":verbose set statusline" will mention that it was set in an error handler. When there are several matching tags, the ":tag <name>" and CTRL-] commands jump to the [count] matching tag. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Win32: In the batch files generated by the install program, use $VIMRUNTIME or $VIM if it's set. Example provided by Mathias Michaelis. Also create a vimtutor.bat batch file. The 'balloonexpr' option is now \|global-local\|. The system() function now runs in cooked mode, thus can be interrupted by CTRL-C. ============================================================================== COMPILE TIME CHANGES compile-changes-7 Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version and merge it back in. When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory. When compiling with EXITFREE defined and the ccmalloc library, it is possible to detect memory leaks. Some memory will always be reported as leaked, such as allocated by X11 library functions and the memory allocated in alloc_cmdbuff() to store the ":quit" command. Moved the code for printing to src/hardcopy.c. Moved some code from main() to separate functions to make it easier to see what is being done. Using a structure to avoid a lot of arguments to the functions. Moved unix_expandpath() to misc1.c, so that it can also be used by os_mac.c without copying the code. --- Mac --- "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to its final destination. (Raf) Put the runtime directory not directly in Vim.app but in Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim, so that it's according to Mac specs. Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c file. When running "make install" the runtime files are installed as for Unix. Avoids that too many files are copied. When running "make" a link to the runtime files is created to avoid a recursive copy that takes much time. Configure will attempt to build Vim for both Intel and PowerPC. The --with-mac-arch configure argument can change it. --- Win32 --- The Make_mvc.mak file was adjusted to work with the latest MS compilers, including the free version of Visual Studio 2005. (George Reilly) INSTALLpc.txt was updated for the recent changes. (George Reilly) The distributed executable is now produced with the free Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and other free SDK chunks. msvcsetup.bat was added to support this. Also generate the .pdb file that can be used to generate a useful crash report on MS-Windows. (George Reilly) ============================================================================== BUG FIXES bug-fixes-7 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr" instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not work. Use "LPT1" then. The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a size. Use a default size of 10. This example in the documentation didn't work: > :e `=foo . ".c"` Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, \|, % and #. When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message. "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account. Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even when it doesn't support MDI. Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work. "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white space. Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched for doesn't have an extension. When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the cursor and not putting it back where it was. When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used to make it work the old way. When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken. After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column. Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart fields. (Walter Briscoe) On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De Michele) Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams) When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5. Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control characters. Also remove "'<,'>" when in Visual mode to avoid that it appears twice. When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment variables like for a regular command with a file argument. 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line is indented too much. When 'comments' includes multibyte characters inserting the middle part and alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned items. Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME. The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use "cn" or "tw" as intended. When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break after the last line while it's not there. Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when resizing the GUI shell upon startup. Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored. When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name. strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh) GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives just before it is invoked VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy) UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character from the first character of the word. When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer(). When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index, but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead. When ":next dir/" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow interrupting this. When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options and global options remain unmodified. Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line. Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the default value of 'isprint' was wrong. When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE. Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work. When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not going to be used like a command. GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed. GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango. Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the console version. Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2. When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the directory for the library early in the link flags. With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was literal text. Now it works for any pattern. When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction. When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up. Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes problems for Terminal.app. When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains" argument. When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come back. When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there was only one match. (Sergey Khorev) When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting "cancel", would still give an error message. The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible. Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2). Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break is included, e.g., after "v$o". GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas) After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text. When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturb us, thus ignore it. (Scott Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to handle. Added handle_signal(). When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab. When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent() being found in a library. When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text. Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding' is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon) When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use the values when recovering. ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that. Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and # when building the ":drop" command. A comment or \| just after an expression-backtick argument was not recognized. E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment. "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")" does. Also breaks "das" on that dot. When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k" moved the cursor to another column. When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed fold. In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes". Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki) Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki) When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was not included. Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS. Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests. When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position. Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>". When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert mode. (Peter Winters) "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character. Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns(). Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'". When doing "1,6d\|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more lines" overwrites the message. Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output. When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right column in the wrong line. When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak" starts with "sl". When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear 'paste' when starting the GUI. A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL. When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode. Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a mapping. Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato) ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible. When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed. When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an empty $SHELL value. A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty file. When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is. When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This is Vi compatible. Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior. Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default. Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>' flag to 'cpoptions' for this. Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'cpoptions' for this. When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in 'cpoptions' for this. Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append". Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to be Vi compatible. When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the shell and caused trouble there. When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan Lakshmanan) It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command. When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim. When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak. Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka) ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile". The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they are executed. Ambiguous command names were not completed properly. Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that indirectly invokes ":normal". Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it before invoking "diff". Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters) When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another mouse model. When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer. Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1" to be used like ":1argadd ". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit". Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US". Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make them appear as real dashes. (Pierre Habouzit) Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq" always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text. When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "". Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor to be moved to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`". Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line. "gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptible. When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash. Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte. In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global and reset it in nv_home(). Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around spaces inside backticks. After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted. This should be the most useful thing to do. ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give an error message when the argument isn't recognized. In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov) When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo) This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo. GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size. Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits mouse column to 10000. searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that we find the same position again and advance one character. When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window. When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION prompt the argument index was advanced anyway. When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that. Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size checks where invoking them ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work. When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded. GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment. Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and 'lines' to undo this. When using the GTK plug mechanism, resizing and focus was not working properly. (Neil Bird) After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands. When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer so that mapping is done in the right mode. setbufvar() and setwinvar() did not give error messages. It was possible to set a variable with an illegal name, e.g. with setbufvar(). It was possible to define a function with illegal name, e.t. ":func F{-1}()" CTRL-W F and "gf" didn't use the same method to get the file name. When reporting a conversion error the line number of the last error could be given. Now report the first encountered error. When using ":e ++enc=name file" and iconv() was used for conversion an error caused a fall-back to no conversion. Now replace a character with '?' and continue. When opening a new buffer the local value of 'bomb' was not initialized from the global value. Win32: When using the "Edit with Vim" entry the file name was limited to about 200 characters. When using command line completion for ":e foo" and the file "+foo" exists the resulting command ":e +foo" doesn't work. Now insert a backslash: ":e \+foo". When the translation of "-- More --" was not 10 characters long the following message would be in the wrong position. At the more-prompt the last character in the last line wasn't drawn. When deleting non-existing text while 'virtualedit' is set the '[ and '] marks were not set. Win32: Could not use "/" in 'path', it had to be "\". The search pattern "\n" did not match at the end of the last line. Searching for a pattern backwards, starting on the NUL at the end of the line and 'encoding' is "utf-8" would match the pattern just before it incorrectly. Affected searchpair('/\', '', '\/'). For the Find/Replace dialog it was possible that not finding the text resulted in an error message while redrawing, which cleared the syntax highlighting while it was being used, resulting in a crash. Now don't clear syntax highlighting, disable it with b_syn_error. Win32: Combining UTF-8 characters were drawn on the previous character. Could be noticed with a Thai font. Output of ":function" could leave some of the typed text behind. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) When the command line history has only a few lines the command line window would be opened with these lines above the first window line. When using a command line window for search strings ":qa" would result in searching for "qa" instead of quitting all windows. GUI: When scrolling with the scrollbar and there is a line that doesn't fit redrawing may fail. Make sure w_skipcol is valid before redrawing. Limit the values of 'columns' and 'lines' to avoid an overflow in Rows Columns. Fixed bad effects when running out of memory (command line would be reversed, ":qa!" resulted in ":!aq"). Motif: "gvim -iconic" opened the window anyway. (David Harrison) There is a tiny chance that a symlink gets created between checking for an existing file and creating a file. Use the O_NOFOLLOW for open() if it's available. In an empty line "ix<CTRL-O>0" moved the cursor to after the line instead of sticking to the first column. When using ":wq" and a BufWriteCmd autocmd uses inputsecret() the text was echoed anyway. Set terminal to raw mode in getcmdline(). Unix: ":w a;b~c" caused an error in expanding wildcards. When appending to a file with ":w >>fname" in a buffer without a name, causing the buffer to use "fname", the modified flag was reset. When appending to the current file the "not edited" flag would be reset. ":w" would overwrite the file accidentally. Unix: When filtering text with an external command Vim would still read input, causing text typed for the command (e.g., a password) to be eaten and echoed. Don't read input when the terminal is in cooked mode. The Cygwin version of xxd used CR/LF line separators. (Corinna Vinschen) Unix: When filtering text through a shell command some resulting text may be dropped. Now after detecting that the child has exited try reading some more of its output. When inside input(), using "CTRL-R =" and the expression throws an exception the command line was not abandoned but it wasn't used either. Now abandon typing the command line. 'delcombine' was also used in Visual and Select mode and for commands like "cl". That was illogical and has been disabled. When recording while a CursorHold autocommand was defined special keys would appear in the register. Now the CursorHold event is not triggered while recording. Unix: the src/configure script used ${srcdir-.}, not all shells understand that. Use ${srcdir:-.} instead. When editing file "a" which is a symlink to file "b" that doesn't exist, writing file "a" to create "b" and then ":split b" resulted in two buffers on the same file with two different swapfile names. Now set the inode in the buffer when creating a new file. When 'esckeys' is not set don't send the xterm code to request the version string, because it may cause trouble in Insert mode. When evaluating an expression for CTRL-R = on the command line it was possible to call a function that opens a new window, resulting in errors for incremental search, and many other nasty things were possible. Now use the \|textlock\| to disallow changing the buffer or jumping to another window to protect from unexpected behavior. Same for CTRL-\ e. "d(" deleted the character under the cursor, while the documentation specified an exclusive motion. Vi also doesn't delete the character under the cursor. Shift-Insert in Insert mode could put the cursor before the last character when it just fits in the window. In coladvance() don't stop at the window edge when filling with spaces and when in Insert mode. In mswin.vim avoid getting a beep from the "l" command. Win32 GUI: When Alt-F4 is used to close the window and Cancel is selected in the dialog then Vim would insert <M-F4> in the text. Now it's ignored. When ":silent! {cmd}" caused the swap file dialog, which isn't displayed, there would still be a hit-enter prompt. Requesting the termresponse (\|t_RV\|) early may cause problems with "-c" arguments that invoke an external command or even "-c quit". Postpone it until after executing "-c" arguments. When typing in Insert mode so that a new line is started, using CTRL-G u to break undo and start a new change, then joining the lines with <BS> caused undo info to be missing. Now reset the insertion start point. Syntax HL: When a region start match has a matchgroup and an offset that happens to be after the end of the line then it continued in the next line and stopped at the region end match, making the region continue after that. Now check for the column being past the end of the line in syn_add_end_off(). When changing a file, setting 'swapfile' off and then on again, making another change and killing Vim, then some blocks may be missing from the swapfile. When 'swapfile' is switched back on mark all blocks in the swapfile as dirty. Added mf_set_dirty(). Expanding wildcards in a command like ":e aap;<>!" didn't work. Put backslashes before characters that are special to the shell. (Adri Verhoef) A CursorHold autocommand would cause a message to be cleared. Don't show the special key for the event for 'showcmd'. When expanding a file name for a shell command, as in "!cmd foo<Tab>" or ":r !cmd foo<Tab>" also escape characters that are special for the shell: "!;&()<>". When the name of the buffer was set by a ":r fname" command \|cpo-f\| no autocommands were triggered to notify about the change in the buffer list. In the quickfix buffer 'bufhidden' was set to "delete", which caused closing the quickfix window to leave an unlisted "No Name" buffer behind every time. Win32: when using two screens of different size, setting 'lines' to a large value didn't fill the whole screen. (SungHyun Nam) Win32 installer: The generated _vimrc contained an absolute path to diff.exe. After upgrading it becomes invalid. Now use $VIMRUNTIME instead. The command line was cleared to often when 'showmode' was set and ":silent normal vy" was used. Don't clear the command line unless the mode was actually displayed. Added the "mode_displayed" variable. The "load session" toolbar item could not handle a space or other special characters in v:this_session. ":set sta ts=8 sw=4 sts=2" deleted 4 spaces halfway a line instead of 2. In a multibyte file the foldmarker could be recognized in the trail byte. (Taro Muraoka) Pasting with CTRL-V and menu didn't work properly when some commands are mapped. Use ":normal!" instead of ":normal". (Tony Apuzzo) Crashed when expanding a file name argument in backticks. In some situations the menu and scrollbar didn't work, when the value contains a CSI byte. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) GTK GUI: When drawing the balloon focus changes and we might get a key release event that removed the balloon again. Ignore the key release event. 'titleold' was included in ":mkexrc" and ":mksession" files. ":set background&" didn't use the same logic as was used when starting up. When "umask" is set such that nothing is writable then the viminfo file would be written without write permission. (Julian Bridle) Motif: In diff mode dragging one scrollbar didn't update the scrollbar of the other diff'ed window. When editing in an xterm with a different number of colors than expected the screen would be cleared and redrawn, causing the message about the edited file to be cleared. Now set "keep_msg" to redraw the last message. For a color terminal: When the Normal HL uses bold, possibly to make the color lighter, and another HL group specifies a color it might become light as well. Now reset bold if a HL group doesn't specify bold itself. When using 256 color xterm the color 255 would show up as color 0. Use a short instead of a char to store the color number. ml_get errors when searching for "\n\zs" in an empty file. When selecting a block and using "$" to select until the end of every line and not highlighting the character under the cursor the first character of the block could be unhighlighted. When counting words for the Visual block area and using "$" to select until the end of every line only up to the length of the last line was counted. "dip" in trailing empty lines left one empty line behind. The script ID was only remembered globally for each option. When a buffer- or window-local option was set the same "last set" location was changed for all buffers and windows. Now remember the script ID for each local option separately. GUI: The "Replace All" button didn't handle backslashes in the replacement in the same way as "Replace". Escape backslashes so that they are taken literally. When using Select mode from Insert mode and typing a key, causing lines to be deleted and a message displayed, delayed the effect of inserting the key. Now overwrite the message without delay. When 'whichwrap' includes "l" then "dl" and "yl" on a single letter line worked differently. Now recognize all operators when using "l" at the end of a line. GTK GUI: when the font selector returned a font name with a comma in it then it would be handled like two font names. Now put a backslash before the comma. MS-DOS, Win32: When 'encoding' defaults to "latin1" then the value for 'iskeyword' was still for CPxxx. And when 'nocompatible' was set 'isprint' would also be the wrong value. When a command was defined not to take arguments and no '\|' no warning message would be given for using a '\|'. Also with ":loadkeymap". Motif: When using a fontset and 'encoding' is "utf-8" and sizeof(wchar_t) != sizeof(XChar2b) then display was wrong. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) ":all" always set the current window to the first window, even when it contains a buffer that is not in the argument list (can't be closed because it is modified). Now go to the window that has the first item of the argument list. GUI: To avoid left-over pixels from bold text all characters after a character with special attributes were redrawn. Now only do this for characters that actually are bold. Speeds up displaying considerably. When only highlighting changes and the text is scrolled at the same time everything is redrawn instead of using a scroll and updating the changed text. E.g., when using ":match" to highlight a paren that the cursor landed on. Added SOME_VALID: Redraw the whole window but also try to scroll to minimize redrawing. Win32: When using Korean IME making it active didn't work properly. (Moon, Yu-sung, 2005 March 21) Ruby interface: when inserting/deleting lines display wasn't updated. (Ryan Paul) --- fixes since Vim 7.0b --- Getting the GCC version in configure didn't work with Solaris sed. First strip any "darwin." and then get the version number. The "autoload" directory was missing from the self-installing executable for MS-Windows. The MS-Windows install program would find "vimtutor.bat" in the install directory. After changing to "c:" also change to "\" to avoid looking in the install directory. To make the 16 bit DOS version compile exclude not used highlight initializations and build a tiny instead of small version. finddir() and findfile() accept a negative count and return a List then. The Python indent file contained a few debugging statements, removed. Expanding {} for a function name, resulting in a name starting with "s:" was not handled correctly. Spelling: renamed COMPOUNDMAX to COMPOUNDWORDMAX. Added several items to be able to handle the new Hungarian dictionary. Mac: Default to building for the current platform only, that is much faster than building a universal binary. Also, using Perl/Python/etc. only works for the current platform. The time on undo messages disappeared for someone. Using %T for strftime() apparently doesn't work everywhere. Use %H:%M:%S instead. Typing BS at the "z=" prompt removed the prompt. --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0c --- When jumping to another tab page the Vim window size was always set, even when nothing in the layout changed. Win32 GUI tab pages line wasn't always enabled. Do a proper check for the compiler version. Win32: When switching between tab pages the Vim window was moved when part of it was outside of the screen. Now only do that in the direction of a size change. Win32: added menu to GUI tab pages line. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Mac: Added document icons. (Benji Fisher) Insert mode completion: Using Enter to accept the current match causes confusion. Use CTRL-Y instead. Also, use CTRL-E to go back to the typed text. GUI: When there are left and right scrollbars, ":tabedit" kept them instead of using the one that isn't needed. Using "gP" to replace al the text could leave the cursor below the last line, causing ml_get errors. When 'cursorline' is set don't use the highlighting when Visual mode is active, otherwise it's difficult to see the selected area. The matchparen plugin restricts the search to 100 lines, to avoid a long delay when there are closed folds. Sometimes using CTRL-X s to list spelling suggestions used text from another line. Win32: Set the default for 'isprint' back to the wrong default "@,~-255", because many people use Windows-1252 while 'encoding' is "latin1". GTK: Added a workaround for gvim crashing when used over an untrusted ssh link, caused by GTK doing something nasty. (Ed Catmur) Win32: The font used for the tab page labels is too big. Use the system menu font. (George Reilly) Win32: Adjusting the window position and size to keep it on the screen didn't work properly when the taskbar is on the left or top of the screen. The installman.sh and installml.sh scripts use ${10}, that didn't work with old shells. And use "test -f" instead of "test -e". Win32: When 'encoding' was set in the vimrc then a directory argument for diff mode didn't work. GUI: at the inputlist() prompt the cursorshape was adjusted as if the windows were still at their old position. The parenmatch plugin didn't remember the highlighting per window. Using ":bd" for a buffer that's the current window in another tab page caused a crash. For a new tab page the 'scroll' option wasn't set to a good default. Using an end offset for a search "/pat/e" didn't work properly for multibyte text. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) ":s/\n/,/" doubled the text when used on the last line. When "search" is in 'foldopen' "[s" and "]s" now open folds. When using a numbered function "dict" can be omitted, but "self" didn't work then. Always add FC_DICT to the function flags when it's part of a dictionary. When "--remote-tab" executes locally it left an empty tab page. "gvim -u NONE", ":set cursorcolumn", "C" in the second line didn't update text. Do update further lines even though the "$" is displayed. VMS: Support GTK better, also enable +clientserver. (Zoltan Arpadffy) When highlighting of statusline or tabline is changed there was no redraw to show the effect. Mac: Added "CFBundleIdentifier" to infplist.xml. Added tabpage-local variables t:var. Win32: Added double-click in tab pages line creates new tab. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Motif: Added GUI tab pages line. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Fixed crash when 'lines' was set to 1000 in a modeline. When init_spellfile() finds a writable directory in 'runtimepath' but it doesn't contain a "spell" directory, create one. Win32: executable() also finds "xxd" in the directory where Vim was started, but "!xxd" doesn't work. Append the Vim starting directory to $PATH. The tab page labels are shortened, directory names are reduced to a single letter by default. Added the pathshorten() function to allow a user to do the same. ":saveas" now resets 'readonly' if the file was successfully written. Set $MYVIMRC file to the first found .vimrc file. Set $MYGVIMRC file to the first found .gvimrc file. Added menu item "Startup Settings" that edits the $MYVIMRC file Added matcharg(). Error message E745 appeared twice. Renamed one to E786. Fixed crash when using "au BufRead * Sexplore" and doing ":help". Was wiping out a buffer that's still in a window. ":hardcopy" resulted in an error message when 'encoding' is "utf-8" and 'printencoding' is empty. Now it assumes latin1. (Mike Williams) The check for the toolbar feature for Motif, depending on certain included files, wasn't detailed enough, causing building to fail in gui_xmebw.c. Using CTRL-E in Insert mode completion after CTRL-P inserted the first match instead of the original text. When displaying a UTF-8 character with a zero lower byte Vim might think the previous character is double-wide. The "nbsp" item of 'listchars' didn't work when 'encoding' was utf-8. Motif: when Xm/xpm.h is missing gui_xmebw.c would not compile. HAVE_XM_UNHIGHLIGHTT_H was missing a T. Mac: Moved the .icns files into src/os_mac_rsrc, so that they can all be copied at once. Adjusted the Info.plist file for three icons. When Visual mode is active while switching to another tabpage could get ml_get errors. When 'list' is set, 'nowrap' the $ in the first column caused 'cursorcolumn' to move to the right. When a line wraps, 'cursorcolumn' was never displayed past the end of the line. 'autochdir' was only available when compiled with NetBeans and GUI. Now it's a separate feature, also available in the "big" version. Added CTRL-W gf: open file under cursor in new tab page. When using the menu in the tab pages line, "New Tab" opens the new tab before where the click was. Beyond the labels the new tab appears at the end instead of after the current tab page. Inside a mapping with an expression getchar() could not be used. When vgetc is used recursively vgetc_busy protects it from being used recursively. But after a ":normal" command the protection was reset. ":s/a/b/n" didn't work when 'modifiable' was off. When $VIMRUNTIME includes a multibyte character then rgb.txt could not be found. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) ":mkspell" didn't work correctly for non-ASCII affix flags when conversion is needed on the spell file. glob('/dir/\$ABC/') didn't work. When using several tab pages and changing 'cmdheight' the display could become messed up. Now store the value of 'cmdheight' separately for each tab page. The user of the Enter key while the popup menu is visible was still confusing. Now use Enter to select the match after using a cursor key. Added "usetab" to 'switchbuf'. --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0d --- Added CTRL-W T: move a window to a new tab page. Using CTRL-X s in Insert mode to complete spelling suggestions and using BS deleted characters before the bad word. A few small fixes for the VMS makefile. (Zoltan Arpadffy) With a window of 91 lines 45 cols, ":vsp" scrolled the window. Copy w_wrow when splitting a window and skip setting the height when it's already at the right value. Using <silent> in a mapping with a shell command and the GUI caused redraw to use wrong attributes. Win32: Using MSVC 4.1 for install.exe resulted in the start menu items to be created in the administrator directory instead of "All Users". Define the CSIDL_ items if they are missing. Motif: The GUI tabline did not use the space above the right scrollbar. Work around a bug in the Motif library. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) The extra files for XML Omni completion are now also installed. \|xml-omni-datafile\| GTK GUI: when 'm' is missing from 'guioptions' during startup and pressing <F10> GTK produced error messages. Now do create the menu but disable it just after the first gui_mch_update(). ":mkspell" doesn't work well with the Hungarian dictionary from the Hunspell project. Back to the Myspell dictionary. In help files hide the \| used around tags. Renamed pycomplete to pythoncomplete. Added "tabpages" to 'sessionoptions'. When 'guitablabel' is set the effect wasn't visible right away. Fixed a few 'cindent' errors. When completing menu names, e.g., after ":emenu", don't sort the entries but keep them in the original order. Fixed a crash when editing a directory in diff mode. Don't trigger autocommands when executing the diff command. Getting a keystroke could get stuck if 'encoding' is a multibyte encoding and typing a special key. When 'foldignore' is set the folds were not updated right away. When a list is indexed with [a : b] and b was greater than the length an error message was given. Now silently truncate the result. When using BS during Insert mode completion go back to the original text, so that CTRL-N selects the first matching entry. Added the 'M' flag to 'cinoptions'. Win32: Make the "gvim --help" window appear in the middle of the screen instead of at an arbitrary position. (Randall W. Morris) Added gettabwinvar() and settabwinvar(). Command line completion: pressing <Tab> after ":e /usr/" expands the whole tree, because it becomes ":e /usr/". Don't add a star if there already is one. Added grey10 to grey90 to all GUIs, so that they can all be used for initializing highlighting. Use grey40 for CursorColumn and CursorLine when 'background' is "dark". When reading a file and using iconv for conversion, an incomplete byte sequence at the end caused problems. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0e --- Default color for MatchParen when 'background' is "dark" is now DarkCyan. ":syn off" had to be used twice in a file that sets 'syntax' in a modeline. (Michael Geddes) When using ":vsp" or ":sp" the available space wasn't used equally between windows. (Servatius Brandt) Expanding <cWORD> on a trailing blank resulted in the first word in the line if 'encoding' is a multibyte encoding. Spell checking: spellbadword() didn't see a missing capital in the first word of a line. Popup menu now only suggest the capitalized word when appropriate. When using whole line completion CTRL-L moves through the matches but it didn't work when at the original text. When completion finds the longest match, don't go to the first match but stick at the original text, so that CTRL-N selects the first one. Recognize "zsh-beta" like "zsh" for setting the 'shellpipe' default. (James Vega) When using ":map <expr>" and the expression results in something with a special byte (NUL or CSI) then it didn't work properly. Now escape special bytes. The default Visual highlighting for a color xterm with 8 colors was a magenta background, which made magenta text disappear. Now use reverse in this specific situation. After completing the longest match "." didn't insert the same text. Repeating also didn't work correctly for multibyte text. When using Insert mode completion and BS the whole word that was completed would result in all possible matches. Now stop completion. Also fixes that for spell completion the previous word was deleted. GTK: When 'encoding' is "latin1" and using non-ASCII characters in a file name the tab page label was wrong and an error message would be given. The taglist() function could hang on a tags line with a non-ASCII character. Win32: When 'encoding' differs from the system encoding tab page labels with non-ASCII characters looked wrong. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Motif: building failed when Xm/Notebook.h doesn't exist. Added a configure check, disable GUI tabline when it's missing. Mac: When compiled without multibyte feature the clipboard didn't work. It was possible to switch to another tab page when the cmdline window is open. Completion could hang when 'lines' is 6 and a preview window was opened. Added CTRL-W gF: open file under cursor in new tab page and jump to the line number following the file name. Added 'guitabtooltip'. Implemented for Win32 (Yegappan Lakshmanan). Added "throw" to 'debug' option: throw an exception for error messages even when they would otherwise be ignored. When 'keymap' is set and a line contains an invalid entry could get a "No mapping found" warning instead of a proper error message. Motif: default to using XpmAttributes instead of XpmAttributes_21. A few more changes for 64 bit MS-Windows. (George Reilly) Got ml_get errors when doing "o" and selecting in other window where there are less lines shorter than the cursor position in the other window. ins_mouse() was using position in wrong window. Win32 GUI: Crash when giving a lot of messages during startup. Allocate twice as much memory for the dialog template. Fixed a few leaks and wrong pointer use reported by coverity. When showing menus the mode character was sometimes wrong. Added feedkeys(). (Yakov Lerner) Made matchlist() always return all submatches. Moved triggering QuickFixCmdPost to before jumping to the first location. Mac: Added the 'macatsui' option as a temporary work around for text drawing problems. Line completion on "/" gave error messages when scanning an unloaded buffer. --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0f --- Win32: The height of the tab page labels is now adjusted to the font height. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Win32: selecting the tab label was off by one. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added tooltips for Motif and GTK tab page labels. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) When 'encoding' is "utf-8" then ":help spell" would report an illegal byte and the file was not converted from latin1 to utf-8. Now retry with latin1 if reading the file as utf-8 results in illegal bytes. Escape the argument of feedkeys() before putting it in the typeahead buffer. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) Added the v:char variable for evaluating 'formatexpr'. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) With 8 colors Search highlighting combined with Statement highlighted text made the text disappear. VMS: avoid warnings for redefining MAX and MIN. (Zoltan Arpadffy) When 'virtualedit' includes "onemore", stopping Visual selection would still move the cursor left. Prevent that using CTRL-R = in Insert mode can start Visual mode. Fixed a crash that occurred when in Insert mode with completion active and a mapping caused edit() to be called recursively. When using CTRL-O in Insert mode just after the last character while 'virtualedit' is "all", then typing CR moved the last character to the next line. Call coladvance() before starting the new line. When using \|:shell\| ignore clicks on the tab page labels. Also when using the command line window. When 'eventignore' is "all" then adding more to ignoring some events, e.g., for ":vimgrep", would actually trigger more events. Win32: When a running Vim uses server name GVIM1 then "gvim --remote fname" didn't find it. When looking for a server name that doesn't end in a digit and it is not found then use another server with that name and a number (just like on Unix). When using "double" in 'spellsuggest' when the language doesn't support sound folding resulted in too many suggestions. Win32: Dropping a shortcut on the Vim icon didn't edit the referred file like editing it in another way would. Use fname_expand() in buf_set_name() instead of simply make the file name a full path. Using feedkeys() could cause Vim to hang. When closing another tab page from the tabline menu in Insert mode the tabline was not updated right away. The syntax menu didn't work in compatible mode. After using ":tag id" twice with the same "id", ":ts" and then ":pop" a ":ts" reported no matching tag. Clear the cached tag name. In Insert mode the matchparen plugin highlighted the wrong paren when there is a string just next to a paren. GTK: After opening a new tab page the text was sometimes not drawn correctly. Flush output and catch up with events when updating the tab page labels. In the GUI, using CTRL-W q to close the last window of a tab page could cause a crash. GTK: The tab pages line menu was not converted from 'encoding' to utf-8. Typing a multibyte character or a special key at the hit-enter prompt did not work. When 'virtualedit' contains "onemore" CTRL-O in Insert mode still moved the cursor left when it was after the end of the line, even though it's allowed to be there. Added test for using tab pages. towupper() and towlower() were not used, because of checking for __STDC__ISO_10646__ instead of __STDC_ISO_10646__. (sertacyildiz) For ":map <expr>" forbid changing the text, jumping to another buffer and using ":normal" to avoid nasty side effects. --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0g --- Compilation error on HP-UX, use of "dlerr" must be inside a #ifdef. (Gary Johnson) Report +reltime feature in ":version" output. The tar and zip plugins detect failure to get the contents of the archive and edit the file as-is. When the result of 'guitablabel' is empty fall back to the default label. Fixed crash when using ":insert" in a while loop and missing "endwhile". "gt" and other commands could move to another window when \|textlock\| active and when the command line window was open. Spell checking a file with syntax highlighting and a bad word at the end of the line is ignored could make "]s" hang. Mac: inputdialog() didn't work when compiled with big features. Interrupting ":vimgrep" while it is busy loading a file left a modified and hidden buffer behind. Use enter_cleanup() and leave_cleanup() around wipe_buffer(). When making 'keymap' empty the b:keymap_name variable wasn't deleted. Using CTRL-N that searches a long time, pressing space to interrupt the searching and accept the first match, the popup menu was still displayed briefly. When setting the Vim window height with -geometry the 'window' option could be at a value that makes CTRL-F behave differently. When opening a quickfix window in two tabs they used different buffers, causing redrawing problems later. Now use the same buffer for all quickfix windows. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) When 'mousefocus' is set moving the mouse to the text tab pages line would move focus to the first window. Also, the mouse pointer would jump to the active window. In a session file, when an empty buffer is wiped out, do this silently. When one window has the cursor on the last line and another window is resized to make that window smaller, the cursor line could go below the displayed lines. In win_new_height() subtract one from the available space. Also avoid that using "~" lines makes the window scroll down. Mac: When sourcing the "macmap.vim" script and then finding a .vimrc file the 'cpo' option isn't set properly, because it was already set and restored. Added the <special> argument to ":map", so that 'cpo' doesn't need to be changed to be able to use <> notation. Also do this for ":menu" for consistency. When using "/encoding=abc" in a spell word list, only "bc" was used. When 'encoding' and 'printencoding' were both "utf-8" then ":hardcopy" didn't work. (Mike Williams) Mac: When building with "--disable-gui" the install directory would still be "/Applications" and Vim.app would be installed. Now install in /usr/local as usual for a console application. GUI: when doing completion and there is one match and still searching for another, the cursor was displayed at the end of the line instead of after the match. Now show the cursor after the match while still searching for matches. GUI: The mouse shape changed on the statusline even when 'mouse' was empty and they can't be dragged. GTK2: Selecting a button in the confirm() dialog with Tab or cursor keys and hitting Enter didn't select that button. Removed GTK 1 specific code. (Neil Bird) When evaluating 'balloonexpr' takes a long time it could be called recursively, which could cause a crash. exists() could not be used to detect whether ":2match" is supported. Added a check for it specifically. GTK1: Tab page labels didn't work. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Insert mode completion: When finding matches use 'ignorecase', but when adding matches to the list don't use it, so that all words with different case are added, "word", "Word" and "WORD". When 'cursorline' and 'hlsearch' are set and the search pattern is "x\n" the rest of the line was highlighted as a match. Cursor moved while evaluating 'balloonexpr' that invokes ":isearch" and redirects the output. Don't move the cursor to the command line if msg_silent is set. exists() ignored text after a function name and option name, which could result in false positives. exists() ignored characters after the recognized word, which can be wrong when using a name with non-keyword characters. Specifically, these calls no longer allow characters after the name: exists('funcname') exists('funcname(...') exists('&option') exists(':cmd') exists('g:name') exists('g:name[n]') exists('g:name.n') Trigger the TabEnter autocommand only after entering the current window of the tab page, otherwise the commands are executed with an invalid current window. Win32: When using two monitors and Vim is on the second monitor, changing the width of the Vim window could make it jump to the first monitor. When scrolling back at the more prompt and the quitting a line of text would be left behind when 'cmdheight' is 2 or more. Fixed a few things for Insert mode completion, especially when typing BS, CTRL-N or a printable character while still searching for matches. ============================================================================== VERSION 7.1 version-7.1 version7.1 This section is about improvements made between version 7.0 and 7.1. This is a bug-fix release, there are no fancy new features. Changed changed-7.1 ------- Added setting 'mouse' in vimrc_example.vim. When building with MZscheme also look for include files in the "plt" subdirectory. That's where they are for FreeBSD. The Ruby interface module is now called "Vim" instead of "VIM". But "VIM" is an alias, so it's backwards compatible. (Tim Pope) Added added-7.1 ----- New syntax files: /var/log/messages (Yakov Lerner) Autohotkey (Nikolai Weibull) AutoIt v3 (Jared Breland) Bazaar commit file "bzr".

Files: src/option.c Patch 7.0.002 Problem: C omni completion has a problem with tags files with a path containing "#" or "%". Solution: Escape these characters. (Sebastian Baberowski) Files: runtime/autoload/ccomplete.vim Patch 7.0.003 Problem: GUI: clicking in the lower part of a label in the tab pages line while 'mousefocus' is set may warp the mouse pointer. (Robert Webb) Solution: Check for a negative mouse position. Files: src/gui.c Patch 7.0.004 Problem: Compiler warning for debug_saved used before set. (Todd Blumer) Solution: Remove the "else" for calling save_dbg_stuff(). Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 7.0.005 (extra) Problem: Win32: The installer doesn't remove the "autoload" and "spell" directories.

Files: src/message.c Patch 7.0.008 Problem: Can't call a function that uses both <SID> and {expr}. (Thomas) Solution: Check both the expanded and unexpanded name for <SID>. Files: src/eval.c Patch 7.0.009 Problem: ml_get errors with both 'sidescroll' and 'spell' set. Solution: Use ml_get_buf() instead of ml_get(), get the line from the right buffer, not the current one. Files: src/spell.c Patch 7.0.010 Problem: The spellfile plugin required typing login name and password. Solution: Use "anonymous" and "vim7user" by default. No need to setup a .netrc file. Files: runtime/autoload/spellfile.vim Patch 7.0.011 Problem: Can't compile without the folding and with the eval feature. Solution: Add an #ifdef. (Vallimar) Files: src/option.c Patch 7.0.012 Problem: Using the matchparen plugin, moving the cursor in Insert mode to a shorter line that ends in a brace, changes the preferred column Solution: Use winsaveview()/winrestview() instead of getpos()/setpos(). Files: runtime/plugin/matchparen.vim Patch 7.0.013 Problem: Insert mode completion: using CTRL-L to add an extra character also deselects the current match, making it impossible to use CTRL-L a second time. Solution: Keep the current match. Also make CTRL-L work at the original text, using the first displayed match. Files: src/edit.c Patch 7.0.014 Problem: Compiling gui_xmebw.c fails on Dec Alpha Tru64. (Rolfe) Solution: Disable some code for Motif 1.2 and older. Files: src/gui_xmebw.c Patch 7.0.015 Problem: Athena: compilation problems with modern compiler. Solution: Avoid type casts for lvalue.

Display it below the screen line instead of below the text line. (Francois Ingelrest) Switched to autoconf version 2.62. Moved including fcntl.h to vim.h and removed it from all .c files. Introduce macro STRMOVE(d, s), like STRCPY() for overlapping strings. Use it instead of mch_memmove(p, p + x, STRLEN(p + x) + 1). Removed the bulgarian.vim keymap file, two more standard ones replace it. (Boyko Bantchev) Increased the maximum number of tag matches for command line completion from 200 to 300.

This release has hundreds of bug fixes and there are a few new features. The most notable new features are: Persistent undo new-persistent-undo --------------- Store undo information in a file. Can undo to before when the file was read, also for unloaded buffers. See \|undo-persistence\| (partly by Jordan Lewis) Added the ":earlier 1f" and ":later 1f" commands. Added file save counter to undo information. Added the \|undotree()\| and \|undofile()\| functions. Also added the 'undoreload' option. This makes it possible to save the current text when reloading the buffer, so that the reload can be undone. More encryption new-more-encryption --------------- Support for Blowfish encryption. Added the 'cryptmethod' option. Mostly by Mohsin Ahmed. Also encrypt the text in the swap file and the undo file. Conceal text new-conceal ------------ Added the \|+conceal\| feature. (Vince Negri) This allows hiding stretches of text, based on syntax highlighting. It also allows replacing a stretch of text by a character \|:syn-cchar\|. The 'conceallevel' option specifies what happens with text matching a syntax item that has the conceal attribute. The 'concealcursor' option specifies what happens in the cursor line. The help files conceal characters used to mark tags and examples. Added the \|synconcealed()\| function and use it for :TOhtml. (Benjamin Fritz) Added the 'cursorbind' option, keeps the cursor in two windows with the same text in sync. Lua interface new-lua ------------- Added the \|Lua\| interface. (Luis Carvalho) Python3 interface new-python3 ----------------- Added the Python3 interface. It exists next to Python 2.x, both can be used at the same time. See \|python3\| (Roland Puntaier) Changed changed-7.3 ------- The MS-Windows installer no longer requires the user to type anything in the console windows. The installer now also works on 64 bit systems, including the "Edit with Vim" context menu. The gvim executable is 32 bits, the installed gvimext.dll is either a 32 or 64 bit version. (mostly by George Reilly) Made the DOS installer work with more compilers. The MS-Windows big gvim is now built with Python 2.7 and 3.1.2, Perl 5.12 and Ruby 1.9.1. You need the matching .dll files to use them. The extra and language files are no longer distributed separately. The source files for all systems are included in one distribution. After using ":recover" or recovering a file in another way, ":x" and "ZZ" didn't save what you see. This could result in work being lost. Now the text after recovery is compared to the original file contents. When they differ the buffer is marked as modified. When Vim is exiting because of a deadly signal, when v:dying is 2 or more, VimLeavePre, VimLeave, BufWinLeave and BufUnload autocommands are not executed. Removed support for GTK 1. It was no longer maintained and required a lot of #ifdefs in the source code. GTK 2 should be available for every system. (James Vega) It is no longer allowed to set the 'encoding' option from a modeline. It would corrupt the text. (Patrick Texier) Renamed runtime/spell/fixdup to runtime/spell/fixdup.vim. Removed obsolete Mac code. Updated spell files for Ubuntu locale names. Switched from autoconf 2.63 to 2.65. Removed Mupad indent and ftplugin files, they are not useful. The maximum number of messages remembered in the history is now 200 (was 100). Added added-7.3 ----- Added the 'relativenumber' option. (Markus Heidelberg) Added the 'colorcolumn' option: highlight one or more columns in a window. E.g. to highlight the column after 'textwidth'. (partly by Gregor Uhlenheuer) Added support for NetBeans in a terminal. Added \|:nbstart\| and \|:nbclose\|. (Xavier de Gaye) More floating point functions: \|acos()\|, \|asin()\|, \|atan2()\|, \|cosh()\|, \|exp()\|, \|fmod()\|, \|log()\|, \|sinh()\|, \|tan()\|, \|tanh()\|. (Bill McCarthy) Added the \|gettabvar()\| and \|settabvar()\| functions. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added the \|strchars()\|, \|strwidth()\| and \|strdisplaywidth()\| functions. Support GDK_SUPER_MASK for GTK on Mac. (Stephan Schulz) Made CTRL and ALT modifier work for mouse wheel. (Benjamin Haskell) Added support for horizontal scroll wheel.

Files: src/window.c When writing a file, switching tab pages and selecting a word the file write message would be displayed again. This happened in Insert mode and with 'cmdheight' set to 2. When using ":lang" to set a locale that uses a comma for decimal separator and using GTK floating point numbers stop working. Use gtk_disable_setlocale(). (James Vega) "g8" didn't produce the right value on a NUL. (Dominique Pelle) Use BASEMODLIBS instead of MODLIBS for Python configuration to pick up the right compiler flags. (Michael Bienia) Window title was not updated after dropping a file on Vim. (Hari G) synstack() did not return anything when just past the end of the line. Useful when using the cursor position in Insert mode. When entering a digraph or special character after a line that fits the window the '?' or '^' on the next line is not redrawn. (Ian Kelling) Composing characters in \|:s\| substitute text were dropped. \|exists()\| was causing an autoload script to be loaded. Filter out -pthread for cproto. Make CTRL-L in command line mode respect 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase'. (Martin Toft) Spell menu moved the cursor, causing Copy not to work. Spell replacement didn't work in 'compatible' mode. Various small fixes from Dominique Pelle. Fix that :mksession may generate "2argu" even though there is no such argument. (Peter Odding) Fixes for time in clipboard request. Also fix ownership. (David Fries) Fixed completion of file names with '%' and ''. Fixed MSVC makefile use of /Wp64 flag. Correct use of long instead of off_t for file size. (James Vega) Add a few #ifdefs to exclude functions that are not used. (Dominique Pelle) Remove old and unused method to allocate memory for undo. Fix definition of UINT_PTR for 64 bit systems. Some versions of Ruby redefine rb_str_new2 to rb_str_new_cstr. Window title not updated after file dropped. Fixed crash for ":find" completion, might also happen in other path expansion usage. When 'searchhl' causes a hang make CTRL-C disable 'searchhl'. When resetting both 'title' and 'icon' the title would be set after a shell command. Reset 'title' and 'icon' in test47 to avoid the xterm title getting messed up. Fix for compiler warning about function prototype in pty.c. Added 'window' to the options window. Fixed: errors for allocating zero bytes when profiling an empty function. Remove -arch flag from build flags for Perl. (Bjorn Wickler) Fix 'autochdir' not showing up in :options window. (Dominique Pelle) Fix: test 69 didn't work on MS-Windows. Test 72 beeped too often. Avoid illegal memory access in spell suggestion. (Dominique Pelle) Fix: crash in spell checking with a 0x300 character. Avoid that running tests changes viminfo. Fix: changing case of a character removed combining characters. Fixed: CTRL-R in Insert mode doesn't insert composing characters. Added the WOW64 flag to OLE registration, for 64 bit Windows systems. Various fixes for coverity warnings. Fix compile warnings, esp. for 64-bit systems. (Mike Williams) Fix: :redir to a dictionary that is changed before ":redir END" causes a memory access error. Fix: terminal title not properly restored when there are multibyte characters. (partly by James Vega) Set 'wrapscan' when checking the .po files. (Mike Williams) Win32: Put quotes around the gvim.exe path for the "Open with" menu entry. On MS-Windows sometimes files with number 4913 or higher are left behind. 'suffixesadd' was used for finding tags file. Removed unused code. Improved positioning of combining characters in GTK. Made test 11 pass when there is no gzip program. (John Beckett) Changed readfile() to ignore byte order marks, unless in binary mode. On MS-Windows completion of shell commands didn't work. An unprintable multibyte character at the start of the screen line caused the following text to be drawn at the wrong position. Got ml_get errors when using undo with 'virtualedit'. Call gui_mch_update() before triggering GuiEnter autocmd. (Ron Aaron) Unix "make install" installed a few Amiga .info files. Disallow setting 'ambiwidth' to "double" when 'listchars' or 'fillchars' contains a character that would become double width. Set 'wrapscan' when checking the .po files. (Mike Williams) Fixed: using expression in command line may cause a crash. Avoid warnings from the clang compiler. (Dominique Pelle) Fix: Include wchar.h in charset.c for towupper(). Fixed: Using ":read file" in an empty buffer when 'compatible' is set caused an error. Was caused by patch 7.2.132. Make the references to features in the help more consistent. (Sylvain Hitier) ============================================================================== VERSION 7.4 version-7.4* version7.4 vim-7.4 This section is about improvements made between version 7.3 and 7.4. This release has hundreds of bug fixes and there are a few new features. The most notable new features are: - New regexp engine \|new-regexp-engine\| - A more pythonic Python interface \|better-python-interface\| New regexp engine new-regexp-engine ----------------- What is now called the "old" regexp engine uses a backtracking algorithm. It tries to match the pattern with the text in one way, and when that fails it goes back and tries another way. This works fine for simple patterns, but complex patterns can be very slow on longer text. The new engine uses a state machine. It tries all possible alternatives at the current character and stores the possible states of the pattern. This is a bit slower for simple patterns, but much faster for complex patterns and long text. Most notably, syntax highlighting for Javascript and XML files with long lines is now working fine. Previously Vim could get stuck. More information here: \|two-engines\| Better Python interface better-python-interface ----------------------- Added \|python-bindeval\| function. Unlike \|python-eval\| this one returns \|python-Dictionary\|, \|python-List\| and \|python-Function\| objects for dictionaries lists and functions respectively in place of their Python built-in equivalents (or None if we are talking about function references). For simple types this function returns Python built-in types and not only Python `str()` like \|python-eval\| does. On Python 3 it will return `bytes()` objects in place of `str()` ones avoiding possibility of UnicodeDecodeError. Interface of new objects mimics standard Python `dict()` and `list()` interfaces to some extent. Extent will be improved in the future. Added special \|python-vars\| objects also available for \|python-buffer\| and \|python-window\|. They ease access to Vim script variables from Python. Now you no longer need to alter `sys.path` to import your module: special hooks are responsible for importing from {rtp}/python2, {rtp}/python3 and {rtp}/pythonx directories (for Python 2, Python 3 and both respectively). See \|python-special-path\|. Added possibility to work with \|tabpage\|s through \|python-tabpage\| object. Added automatic conversion of Vim errors and exceptions to Python exceptions. Changed the behavior of the \|python-buffers\| object: it now uses buffer numbers as keys in place of the index of the buffer in the internal buffer list. This should not break anything as the only way to get this index was iterating over \|python-buffers\|. Added \|:pydo\| and \|:py3do\| commands. Added the \|pyeval()\| and \|py3eval()\| functions. Now in all places which previously accepted `str()` objects, `str()` and `unicode()` (Python 2) or `bytes()` and `str()` (Python 3) are accepted. \|python-window\| has gained `.col` and `.row` attributes that are currently the only way to get internal window positions. Added or fixed support for `dir()` in Vim Python objects. Changed changed-7.4 ------- Old Python versions (≤2.2) are no longer supported. Building with them did not work anyway. Options: Added ability to automatically save the selection into the system clipboard when using non-GUI version of Vim (autoselectplus in 'clipboard'). Also added ability to use the system clipboard as default register (previously only primary selection could be used). (Ivan Krasilnikov, Christian Brabandt, Bram Moolenaar) Added a special 'shiftwidth' value that makes 'sw' follow 'tabstop'. As indenting via 'indentexpr' became tricky \|shiftwidth()\| function was added. Also added equivalent special value to 'softtabstop' option. (Christian Brabandt, so8res) Show absolute number in number column when 'relativenumber' option is on. Now there are four combinations with 'number' and 'relativenumber'. (Christian Brabandt) Commands: \|:diffoff\| now saves the local values of some settings and restores them in place of blindly resetting them to the defaults. (Christian Brabandt) Other: Lua interface now also uses userdata bound to Vim structures. (Taro Muraoka, Luis Carvalho) glob() and autocommand patterns used to work with the undocumented "\{n,m\}" item from a regexp. "\{" is now used for a literal "{", as this is normal in shell file patterns. Now used "\\\{n,m\}" to get "\{n,m}" in the regexp pattern. Added added-7.4 ----- Various syntax, indent and other plugins were added. Added support for \|Lists\| and \|Dictionaries\| in \|viminfo\|. (Christian Brabandt) Functions: Bitwise functions: \|and()\|, \|or()\|, \|invert()\|, \|xor()\|. Added \|luaeval()\| function. (Taro Muraoka, Luis Carvalho) Added \|sha256()\| function. (Tyru, Hirohito Higashi) Added \|wildmenumode()\| function. (Christian Brabandt) Debugging functions: \|screenattr()\|, \|screenchar()\|, \|screencol()\|, \|screenrow()\|. (Simon Ruderich, Bram Moolenaar) Added ability to use \|Dictionary-function\|s for \|sort()\|ing, via optional third argument. (Nikolay Pavlov) Added special \|expand()\| argument that expands to the current line number. Made it possible to force \|char2nr()\| to always give unicode codepoints regardless of current encoding. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Made it possible for functions generating file list generate \|List\| and not NL-separated string. (e.g. \|glob()\|, \|expand()\|) (Christian Brabandt) Functions that obtain variables from the specific window, tabpage or buffer scope dictionary can now return specified default value in place of empty string in case variable is not found. (\|gettabvar()\|, \|getwinvar()\|, \|getbufvar()\|) (Shougo Matsushita, Hirohito Higashi) Autocommands: Added \|InsertCharPre\| event launched before inserting character. (Jakson A. Aquino) Added \|CompleteDone\| event launched after finishing completion in insert mode. (idea by Florian Klein) Added \|QuitPre\| event launched when commands that can either close Vim or only some window(s) are launched. Added \|TextChanged\| and \|TextChangedI\| events launched when text is changed. Commands: \|:syntime\| command useful for debugging. Made it possible to remove all signs from the current buffer using \|:sign-unplace\|. (Christian Brabandt) Added \|:language\| autocompletion. (Dominique Pelle) Added more \|:command-complete\| completion types: \|:behave\| suboptions, color schemes, compilers, \|:cscope\| suboptions, files from 'path', \|:history\| suboptions, locale names, \|:syntime\| suboptions, user names. (Dominique Pelle) Added \|:map-nowait\| creating mapping which when having lhs that is the prefix of another mapping’s lhs will not allow Vim to wait for user to type more characters to resolve ambiguity, forcing Vim to take the shorter alternative: one with <nowait>. Options: Made it possible to ignore case when completing: 'wildignorecase'. Added ability to delete comment leader when using \|J\| by `j` flag in 'formatoptions' (\|fo-table\|). (Lech Lorens) Added ability to control indentation inside namespaces: \|cino-N\|. (Konstantin Lepa) Added ability to control alignment inside `if` condition separately from alignment inside function arguments: \|cino-k\|. (Lech Lorens) Other: Improved support for cmd.exe. (Ben Fritz, Bram Moolenaar) Added \|v:windowid\| variable containing current window number in GUI Vim. (Christian J. Robinson, Lech Lorens) Added rxvt-unicode and SGR mouse support. (Yiding Jia, Hayaki Saito) All changes in 7.4 fixed-7.4 ------------------ Patch 7.3.001 Problem: When editing "src/main.c" and 'path' set to "./proto", ":find e<C-D" shows ./proto/eval.pro instead of eval.pro.

See \|version4.txt\|, \|version5.txt\|, \|version6.txt\| and \|version7.txt\| for differences between other versions. ============================================================================== NEW FEATURES new-8 First an overview of the more interesting new features. A comprehensive list is below. Asynchronous I/O support, channels ~ Vim can now exchange messages with other processes in the background. This makes it possible to have servers do work and send back the results to Vim. See \|channel-demo\| for an example, this shows communicating with a Python server. Closely related to channels is JSON support. JSON is widely supported and can easily be used for inter-process communication, allowing for writing a server in any language. The functions to use are \|json_encode()\| and \|json_decode()\|. This makes it possible to build very complex plugins, written in any language and running in a separate process. Jobs ~ Vim can now start a job, communicate with it and stop it. This is very useful to run a process for completion, syntax checking, etc. Channels are used to communicate with the job. Jobs can also read from or write to a buffer or a file. See \|job_start()\|. Timers ~ Also asynchronous are timers. They can fire once or repeatedly and invoke a function to do any work. For example: > let tempTimer = timer_start(4000, 'CheckTemp') This will call the CheckTemp() function four seconds (4000 milliseconds) later. See \|timer_start()\|. Partials ~ Vim already had a Funcref, a reference to a function. A partial also refers to a function, and additionally binds arguments and/or a dictionary. This is especially useful for callbacks on channels and timers. E.g., for the timer example above, to pass an argument to the function: > let tempTimer = timer_start(4000, function('CheckTemp', ['out'])) This will call CheckTemp('out') four seconds later. Lambda and Closure ~ A short way to create a function has been added: {args -> expr}. See \|lambda\|. This is useful for functions such as `filter()` and `map()`, which now also accept a function argument. Example: > :call filter(mylist, {idx, val -> val > 20}) A lambda can use variables defined in the scope where the lambda is defined. This is usually called a \|closure\|. User defined functions can also be a closure by adding the "closure" argument \|:func-closure\|. Packages ~ Plugins keep growing and more of them are available than ever before. To keep the collection of plugins manageable package support has been added. This is a convenient way to get one or more plugins, drop them in a directory and possibly keep them updated. Vim will load them automatically, or only when desired. See \|packages\|. New style tests ~ This is for Vim developers. So far writing tests for Vim has not been easy. Vim 8 adds assert functions and a framework to run tests. This makes it a lot simpler to write tests and keep them updated. Also new are several functions that are added specifically for testing. See \|test-functions\|. Window IDs ~ Previously windows could only be accessed by their number. And every time a window would open, close or move that number changes. Each window now has a unique ID, so that they are easy to find. See \|win_getid()\| and \|win_id2win()\|. Viminfo uses timestamps ~ Previously the information stored in viminfo was whatever the last Vim wrote there. Now timestamps are used to always keep the most recent items. See \|viminfo-timestamp\|. Wrapping lines with indent ~ The 'breakindent' option has been added to be able to wrap lines without changing the amount of indent. Windows: DirectX support ~ This adds the 'renderoptions' option to allow for switching on DirectX (DirectWrite) support on MS-Windows. GTK+ 3 support ~ The GTK+ 3 GUI works just like GTK+ 2 except for hardly noticeable technical differences between them. Configure still chooses GTK+ 2 if both 2 and 3 are available. See src/Makefile for how to use GTK+ 3 instead. See \|gui-x11-compiling\| for other details. Vim script enhancements new-vim-script-8 ----------------------- In Vim script the following types have been added: \|Special\| \|v:false\|, \|v:true\|, \|v:none\| and \|v:null\| \|Channel\| connection to another process for asynchronous I/O \|Job\| process control Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types. On some systems the numbers used in Vim script are now 64 bit. This can be checked with the \|+num64\| feature. Many items were added to support \|new-style-testing\|. printf() now accepts any type of argument for %s. It is converted to a string like with string().

============================================================================== INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES incompatible-8 These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 7.4 to 8.0. Better defaults without a vimrc ~ When no vimrc file is found, the \|defaults.vim\| script is loaded to set more useful default values for new users. That includes setting 'nocompatible'. Thus Vim no longer starts up in Vi compatible mode. If you do want that, either create a .vimrc file that does "set compatible" or start Vim with "vim -C". Support removed ~ The support for MS-DOS has been removed. It hasn't been working for a while (Vim doesn't fit in memory) and removing it cleans up the code quite a bit. The support for Windows 16 bit (Windows 95 and older) has been removed. The support for OS/2 has been removed. It probably hasn't been working for a while since nobody uses it. The SNiFF+ support has been removed. Minor incompatibilities: ~ Probably... ============================================================================== IMPROVEMENTS improvements-8 The existing blowfish encryption turned out to be much weaker than it was supposed to be. The blowfish2 method has been added to fix that. Note that this still isn't a state-of-the-art encryption, but good enough for most usage. See 'cryptmethod'. ============================================================================== COMPILE TIME CHANGES compile-changes-8 The Vim repository was moved from Google code to github, since Google code was shut down. It can now be found at https://github.com/vim/vim. Functions now use ANSI-C declarations. At least a C-89 compatible compiler is required. The +visual feature is now always included. ============================================================================== PATCHES patches-8 bug-fixes-8 The list of patches that got included since 7.4.0. This includes all the new features, but does not include runtime file changes (syntax, indent, help, etc.) Patch 7.4.001 Problem: Character classes such as [a-z] do not react to 'ignorecase'.

This release has hundreds of bug fixes, there is a new feature and there are many minor improvements. The terminal window new-terminal-window ------------------- You can now open a window which functions as a terminal. You can use it for: - Running a command, such as "make", while editing in other windows - Running a shell and execute several commands - Use the terminal debugger plugin, see \|terminal-debugger\| All of this is especially useful when running Vim on a remote (ssh) connection, when you can't easily open more terminals. For more information see \|terminal-window\|. Changed changed-8.1 ------- Internal: A few C99 features are now allowed such as // comments and a comma after the last enum entry. See \|style-compiler\|. Since patch 8.0.0029 removed support for older MS-Windows systems, only MS-Windows XP and later are supported. Added added-8.1 ----- Various syntax, indent and other plugins were added. Quickfix improvements (by Yegappan Lakshmanan): Added support for modifying any quickfix/location list in the quickfix stack. Added a unique identifier for every quickfix/location list. Added support for associating any Vim type as a context information to a quickfix/location list. Enhanced the getqflist(), getloclist(), setqflist() and setloclist() functions to get and set the various quickfix/location list attributes. Added the QuickFixLine highlight group to highlight the current line in the quickfix window. The quickfix buffer b:changedtick variable is incremented for every change to the contained quickfix list. Added a changedtick variable to a quickfix/location list which is incremented when the list is modified. Added support for parsing text using 'errorformat' without creating a new quickfix list. Added support for the "module" item to a quickfix entry which can be used for display purposes instead of a long file name. Added support for freeing all the lists in the quickfix/location stack. When opening a quickfix window using the :copen/:cwindow commands, the supplied split modifiers are used. Functions: All the term_ functions. \|assert_beeps()\| \|assert_equalfile()\| \|assert_report()\| \|balloon_show()\| \|balloon_split()\| \|ch_canread()\| \|getchangelist()\| \|getjumplist()\| \|getwinpos()\| \|pyxeval()\| \|remote_startserver()\| \|setbufline()\| \|test_ignore_error()\| \|test_override()\| \|trim()\| \|win_screenpos()\| Autocommands: \|CmdlineChanged\| \|CmdlineEnter\| \|CmdlineLeave\| \|ColorSchemePre\| \|DirChanged\| \|ExitPre\| \|TerminalOpen\| \|TextChangedP\| \|TextYankPost\| Commands: \|:pyx\| \|:pythonx\| \|:pyxdo\| \|:pyxfile\| \|:terminal\| \|:tmapclear\| \|:tmap\| \|:tnoremap\| \|:tunmap\| Options: 'balloonevalterm' 'imstyle' 'mzschemedll' 'mzschemegcdll' 'makeencoding' 'pumwidth' 'pythonhome' 'pythonthreehome' 'pyxversion' 'termwinkey' 'termwinscroll' 'termwinsize' 'viminfofile' 'winptydll' Patches patches-8.1 ------- Patch 8.0.0001 Problem: Intro screen still mentions version7.

Files: src/terminal.c ============================================================================== VERSION 8.2 version-8.2* version8.2 vim-8.2 This section is about improvements made between version 8.1 and 8.2. This release has hundreds of bug fixes, there are several new features and there are many minor improvements. Popup windows new-popup-window ------------- Popup windows can be used to display text on top of other windows. This can be for a simple message such as "Build finished successfully", showing a function prototype while editing a function call, a flexible popup menu and many other purposes. See \|popup-window\|. Popup windows are very flexible: they can be positioned relative to text, an absolute position or just in the middle of the screen. The size can be fixed or adjusts to fit the text. A "zindex" value specifies what popup window goes on top of others. The new 'wincolor' option allows for setting the color for the whole popup window. This also works for normal windows. Text properties new-text-properties --------------- Text properties give a plugin author flexibility about what to highlight. This can be used with an external asynchronous parser to do syntax highlighting. Or to highlight text in a popup window. The text properties stick with the text when characters are deleted or inserted, which makes them also useful as text markers. See \|text-properties\|. The listener functions have been added to report text changes to a server so that it can dynamically update highlighting, mark syntax errors and the like. See \|listener_add()\|. Vim script improvements new-vimscript-8.2 ----------------------- Functions can now be called in a chain, using "->": > mylist->filter(filterexpr)->map(mapexpr)->sort()->join() The new `:eval` command can be used if the chain has no result. Function arguments can be made optional by giving them a default value \|optional-function-argument\|: > function Something(key, value = 10) The `:scriptversion` command was added to allow for changes that are not backwards compatible. E.g. to only use ".." for string concatenation, so that "." can be used to access a dictionary member consistently. `:const` was added to allow for declaring a variable that cannot change: > const TIMER_DELAY = 400 A heredoc-style assignment was added to easily assign a list of lines to a variable without quoting or line continuation: > let lines =<< trim END line one line two END The \|Blob\| type was added. This makes it easy to deal with binary data. The /= and %= assignment operators were added. A Dictionary can be defined with literal keys using #{}. This avoids having to use a lot of quotes: > let options = #{width: 30, height: 24} Other improvements new-other-8.2 ------------------ - When 'incsearch' is set it also applies to `:substitute`. - \|modifyOtherKeys\| was added to allow mapping more key combinations. - ConPTY support was added for Windows 10, supports full color in the terminal. - The MS-Windows installer supports translations, silent install and looks much better. Changed changed-8.2 ------- The xdiff library was included to avoid the need for an external diff program and to make updating diffs much faster. The code is using a few more modern C features, such as // comments. Support for old compilers has been dropped: Borland C++, MSVC 2008. Hangul input support was removed, it actually didn't work anymore. Makefiles for old Amiga compilers were removed: Dice, Manx and SAS. If a swap file is found without any changes it is automatically deleted. The FEAT_TAG_OLDSTATIC code was removed, it slowed down tag searches. The FEAT_TAG_ANYWHITE code was removed, it was not enabled in any build. The UNICODE16 code was removed, it was not useful. Workshop support was removed, nobody was using it. The Aap build files were removed, they were outdated. Farsi support was removed, it was outdated and unused. VIMDLL was re-implemented, this shares the common parts between vim and gvim to reduce the total install size.

📄 vi_diff.txt vi_diff.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Jan 21 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Differences between Vim and Vi vi-differences This file lists the differences between Vim and Vi/Ex and gives an overview of what is in Vim that is not in Vi. Vim is mostly POSIX 1003.2-1 compliant. The only command known to be missing is ":open". There are probably a lot of small differences (either because Vim is missing something or because Posix is beside the mark). 1. Simulated command \|simulated-command\| 2. Missing options \|missing-options\| 3. Limits \|limits\| 4. The most interesting additions \|vim-additions\| 5. Other vim features \|other-features\| 6. Supported Vi features \|vi-features\| 7. Command-line arguments \|cmdline-arguments\| 8. POSIX compliance \|posix-compliance\| ============================================================================== 1. Simulated command simulated-command This command is in Vi, but Vim only simulates it: :o :op :open :[range]o[pen] Works like \|:visual\|: end Ex mode. {Vi: start editing in open mode} :[range]o[pen] /pattern/ As above, additionally move the cursor to the column where "pattern" matches in the cursor line. Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole screen instead of only one line. ============================================================================== 2. Missing options missing-options These options are in the Unix Vi, but not in Vim. If you try to set one of them you won't get an error message, but the value is not used and cannot be printed. autoprint (ap) boolean (default on) 'autoprint' 'ap' beautify (bf) boolean (default off) 'beautify' 'bf' flash (fl) boolean (default ??) 'flash' 'fl' graphic (gr) boolean (default off) 'graphic' 'gr' hardtabs (ht) number (default 8) 'hardtabs' 'ht' number of spaces that a <Tab> moves on the display mesg boolean (default on) 'mesg' novice boolean (default off) 'novice' open boolean (default on) 'open' optimize (op) boolean (default off) 'optimize' 'op' redraw boolean (default off) 'redraw' slowopen (slow) boolean (default off) 'slowopen' 'slow' sourceany boolean (default off) 'sourceany' w300 number (default 23) 'w300' w1200 number (default 23) 'w1200' w9600 number (default 23) 'w9600' Vi did not allow for changing the termcap entries, you would have to exit Vi, edit the termcap entry and try again. Vim has the \|terminal-options\|. ============================================================================== 3. Limits limits Vim has only a few limits for the files that can be edited {Vi: can not handle <Nul> characters and characters above 128, has limited line length, many other limits}. Maximum line length 2147483647 characters. Longer lines are split. Maximum number of lines 2147483647 lines. Maximum file size 2147483647 bytes (2 Gbyte) when a long integer is 32 bits. Much more for 64 bit longs. Also limited by available disk space for the \|swap-file\|. E75 Length of a file path Unix and Win32: 1024 characters, otherwise 256 characters (or as much as the system supports). Length of an expanded string option Unix and Win32: 1024 characters, otherwise 256 characters Maximum display width Unix and Win32: 1024 characters, otherwise 255 characters Maximum lhs of a mapping 50 characters. Number of different highlighting types: over 30000 Range of a Number variable: -2147483648 to 2147483647 (might be more on 64 bit systems) Maximum length of a line in a tags file: 512 bytes. Information for undo and text in registers is kept in memory, thus when making (big) changes the amount of (virtual) memory available limits the number of undo levels and the text that can be kept in registers. Other things are also kept in memory: Command-line history, error messages for Quickfix mode, etc. Memory usage limits ------------------- The option 'maxmem' ('mm') is used to set the maximum memory used for one buffer (in kilobytes). 'maxmemtot' is used to set the maximum memory used for all buffers (in kilobytes). The defaults depend on the system used. For the Amiga, 'maxmemtot' is set depending on the amount of memory available. These are not hard limits, but tell Vim when to move text into a swap file. If you don't like Vim to swap to a file, set 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' to a very large value. The swap file will then only be used for recovery. If you don't want a swap file at all, set 'updatecount' to 0, or use the "-n" argument when starting Vim. ============================================================================== 4. The most interesting additions vim-additions Vi compatibility. \|'compatible'\| Although Vim is 99% Vi compatible, some things in Vi can be considered to be a bug, or at least need improvement. But still, Vim starts in a mode which behaves like the "real" Vi as much as possible. To make Vim behave a little bit better, try resetting the 'compatible' option: :set nocompatible Or start Vim with the "-N" argument: vim -N Vim starts with 'nocompatible' automatically if you have a .vimrc file. See \|startup\|. The 'cpoptions' option can be used to set Vi compatibility on/off for a number of specific items. Support for different systems. Vim can be used on: - All Unix systems (it works on all systems it was tested on, although the GUI and Perl interface may not work everywhere). - Amiga (500, 1000, 1200, 2000, 3000, 4000, ...). - MS-Windows - VMS - Macintosh - IBM OS/390 Note that on some systems features need to be disabled to reduce resource usage. For some outdated systems you need to use an older Vim version. Multi level persistent undo. \|undo\| 'u' goes backward in time, 'CTRL-R' goes forward again. Set option 'undolevels' to the number of changes to be remembered (default 1000). Set 'undolevels' to 0 for a Vi-compatible one level undo. Set it to -1 for no undo at all. When all changes in a buffer have been undone, the buffer is not considered changed anymore. You can exit it with :q, without <!>. When undoing a few changes and then making a new change Vim will create a branch in the undo tree. This means you can go back to any state of the text, there is no risk of a change causing text to be lost forever. \|undo-tree\| The undo information is stored in a file when the 'undofile' option is set. This means you can exit Vim, start Vim on a previously edited file and undo changes that were made before exiting Vim. Graphical User Interface (GUI). \|gui\| Included support for GUI: menu's, mouse, scrollbars, etc. You can define your own menus. Better support for CTRL/SHIFT/ALT keys in combination with special keys and mouse. Supported for various platforms, such as X11 (with Motif and Athena interfaces), GTK, Win32 (Windows XP and later), Amiga and Macintosh. Multiple windows and buffers. \|windows.txt\| Vim can split the screen into several windows, each editing a different buffer or the same buffer at a different location. Buffers can still be loaded (and changed) but not displayed in a window. This is called a hidden buffer. Many commands and options have been added for this facility. Vim can also use multiple tab pages, each with one or more windows. A line with tab labels can be used to quickly switch between these pages. \|tab-page\| Terminal window. \|:terminal\| Vim can create a window in which a terminal emulator runs. This can be used to execute an arbitrary command, a shell or a debugger. Syntax highlighting. \|:syntax\| Vim can highlight keywords, patterns and other things. This is defined by a number of \|:syntax\| commands, and can be made to highlight most languages and file types. A number of files are included for highlighting the most common languages, like C, C++, Java, Pascal, Makefiles, shell scripts, etc. The colors used for highlighting can be defined for ordinary terminals, color terminals and the GUI with the \|:highlight\| command. A convenient way to do this is using a \|:colorscheme\| command. The highlighted text can be exported as HTML. \|convert-to-HTML\| Other items that can be highlighted are matches with the search string \|'hlsearch'\|, matching parens \|matchparen\| and the cursor line and column \|'cursorline'\| \|'cursorcolumn'\|. Text properties \|textprop.txt\| Vim supports highlighting text by a plugin. Property types can be specified with \|prop_type_add()\| and properties can be placed with \|prop_add()\|. Spell checking. \|spell\| When the 'spell' option is set Vim will highlight spelling mistakes. About 50 languages are currently supported, selected with the 'spelllang' option. In source code only comments and strings are checked for spelling. Folding. \|folding\| A range of lines can be shown as one "folded" line. This allows overviewing a file and moving blocks of text around quickly. Folds can be created manually, from the syntax of the file, by indent, etc. Diff mode. \|diff\| Vim can show two versions of a file with the differences highlighted. Parts of the text that are equal are folded away. Commands can be used to move text from one version to the other. Plugins. \|add-plugin\| The functionality can be extended by dropping a plugin file in the right directory. That's an easy way to start using Vim scripts written by others. Plugins can be for all kind of files, or specifically for a filetype. Packages make this even easier. \|packages\| Asynchronous communication and timers. \|channel\| \|job\| \|timer\| Vim can exchange messages with other processes in the background. This makes it possible to have servers do work and send back the results to Vim. \|channel\| Vim can start a job, communicate with it and stop it. \|job\| Timers can fire once or repeatedly and invoke a function to do any work. \|timer\| Repeat a series of commands. \|q\| "q{c}" starts recording typed characters into named register {c}. A subsequent "q" stops recording. The register can then be executed with the "@{c}" command. This is very useful to repeat a complex action. Flexible insert mode. \|ins-special-special\| The arrow keys can be used in insert mode to move around in the file. This breaks the insert in two parts as far as undo and redo is concerned. CTRL-O can be used to execute a single Normal mode command. This is almost the same as hitting <Esc>, typing the command and doing \|a\|. Visual mode. \|Visual-mode\| Visual mode can be used to first highlight a piece of text and then give a command to do something with it. This is an (easy to use) alternative to first giving the operator and then moving to the end of the text to be operated upon. \|v\| and \|V\| are used to start Visual mode. \|v\| works on characters and \|V\| on lines. Move the cursor to extend the Visual area. It is shown highlighted on the screen. By typing "o" the other end of the Visual area can be moved. The Visual area can be affected by an operator: d delete c change y yank > or < insert or delete indent ! filter through external program = filter through indent : start \|:\| command for the Visual lines. gq format text to 'textwidth' columns J join lines ~ swap case u make lowercase U make uppercase {Vi has no Visual mode, the name "visual" is used for Normal mode, to distinguish it from Ex mode} Block operators. \|visual-block\| With Visual mode a rectangular block of text can be selected. Start Visual mode with CTRL-V. The block can be deleted ("d"), yanked ("y") or its case can be changed ("~", "u" and "U"). A deleted or yanked block can be put into the text with the "p" and "P" commands. Help system. \|:help\| Help is displayed in a window. The usual commands can be used to move around, search for a string, etc. Tags can be used to jump around in the help files, just like hypertext links. The \|:help\| command takes an argument to quickly jump to the info on a subject. <F1> is the quick access to the help system. The name of the help index file can be set with the 'helpfile' option. Command-line editing and history. \|cmdline-editing\| You can insert or delete at any place in the command-line using the cursor keys. The right/left cursor keys can be used to move forward/backward one character. The shifted right/left cursor keys can be used to move forward/backward one word. CTRL-B/CTRL-E can be used to go to the begin/end of the command-line. {Vi: can only alter the last character in the line} {Vi: when hitting <Esc> the command-line is executed. This is unexpected for most people; therefore it was changed in Vim. But when the <Esc> is part of a mapping, the command-line is executed. If you want the Vi behaviour also when typing <Esc>, use ":cmap ^V<Esc> ^V^M"} \|cmdline-history\| The command-lines are remembered. The up/down cursor keys can be used to recall previous command-lines. The 'history' option can be set to the number of lines that will be remembered. There is a separate history for commands and for search patterns. Command-line completion. \|cmdline-completion\| While entering a command-line (on the bottom line of the screen) <Tab> can be typed to complete what example ~ - command :e<Tab> - tag :ta scr<Tab> - option :set sc<Tab> - option value :set hf=<Tab> - file name :e ve<Tab> - etc. If there are multiple matches, CTRL-N (next) and CTRL-P (previous) will walk through the matches. <Tab> works like CTRL-N, but wraps around to the first match. The 'wildchar' option can be set to the character for command-line completion, <Tab> is the default. CTRL-D can be typed after an (incomplete) wildcard; all matches will be listed. CTRL-A will insert all matches. CTRL-L will insert the longest common part of the matches. Insert-mode completion. \|ins-completion\| In Insert mode the CTRL-N and CTRL-P keys can be used to complete a word that appears elsewhere. \|i_CTRL-N\| With CTRL-X another mode is entered, through which completion can be done for: \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-F\| file names \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K\| words from 'dictionary' files \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-T\| words from 'thesaurus' files \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-I\| words from included files \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L\| whole lines \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-]\| words from the tags file \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-D\| definitions or macros \|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O\| Omni completion: clever completion specifically for a file type etc. Long line support. \|'wrap'\| \|'linebreak'\| If the 'wrap' option is off, long lines will not wrap and only part of them will be shown. When the cursor is moved to a part that is not shown, the screen will scroll horizontally. The minimum number of columns to scroll can be set with the 'sidescroll' option. The \|zh\| and \|zl\| commands can be used to scroll sideways. Alternatively, long lines are broken in between words when the 'linebreak' option is set. This allows editing a single-line paragraph conveniently (e.g. when the text is later read into a DTP program). Move the cursor up/down with the \|gk\| and \|gj\| commands. Text formatting. \|formatting\| The 'textwidth' option can be used to automatically limit the line length. This supplements the 'wrapmargin' option of Vi, which was not very useful. The \|gq\| operator can be used to format a piece of text (for example, \|gqap\| formats the current paragraph). Commands for text alignment: \|:center\|, \|:left\| and \|:right\|. Extended search patterns. \|pattern\| There are many extra items to match various text items. Examples: A "\n" can be used in a search pattern to match a line break. "x\{2,4}" matches "x" 2 to 4 times. "\s" matches a white space character. Directory, remote and archive browsing. \|netrw\| Vim can browse the file system. Simply edit a directory. Move around in the list with the usual commands and press <Enter> to go to the directory or file under the cursor. This also works for remote files over ftp, http, ssh, etc. Zip and tar archives can also be browsed. \|tar\| \|zip\| Edit-compile-edit speedup. \|quickfix\| The \|:make\| command can be used to run the compilation and jump to the first error. A file with compiler error messages is interpreted. Vim jumps to the first error. Each line in the error file is scanned for the name of a file, line number and error message. The 'errorformat' option can be set to a list of scanf-like strings to handle output from many compilers. The \|:cn\| command can be used to jump to the next error. \|:cl\| lists all the error messages. Other commands are available. The 'makeef' option has the name of the file with error messages. The 'makeprg' option contains the name of the program to be executed with the \|:make\| command. The 'shellpipe' option contains the string to be used to put the output of the compiler into the errorfile. Finding matches in files. \|:vimgrep\| Vim can search for a pattern in multiple files. This uses the advanced Vim regexp pattern, works on all systems and also works to search in compressed files. Improved indenting for programs. \|'cindent'\| When the 'cindent' option is on the indent of each line is automatically adjusted. C syntax is mostly recognized. The indent for various styles can be set with 'cinoptions'. The keys to trigger indenting can be set with 'cinkeys'. Comments can be automatically formatted. The 'comments' option can be set to the characters that start and end a comment. This works best for C code, but also works for e-mail (">" at start of the line) and other types of text. The \|=\| operator can be used to re-indent lines. For many other languages an indent plugin is present to support automatic indenting. \|30.3\| Searching for words in included files. \|include-search\| The \|[i\| command can be used to search for a match of the word under the cursor in the current and included files. The 'include' option can be set to a pattern that describes a command to include a file (the default is for C programs). The \|[I\| command lists all matches, the \|[_CTRL-I\| command jumps to a match. The \|[d\|, \|[D\| and \|[_CTRL-D\| commands do the same, but only for lines where the pattern given with the 'define' option matches. Automatic commands. \|autocommand\| Commands can be automatically executed when reading a file, writing a file, jumping to another buffer, etc., depending on the file name. This is useful to set options and mappings for C programs, documentation, plain text, e-mail, etc. This also makes it possible to edit compressed files. Scripts and Expressions. \|expression\| Commands have been added to form up a powerful script language. \|:if\| Conditional execution, which can be used for example to set options depending on the value of $TERM. \|:while\| Repeat a number of commands. \|:for\| Loop over a list. \|:echo\| Print the result of an expression. \|:let\| Assign a value to an internal variable, option, etc. Variable types are Number, String, List and Dictionary. \|:execute\| Execute a command formed by an expression. \|:try\| Catch exceptions. etc., etc. See \|eval\|. Debugging and profiling are supported. \|debug-scripts\| \|profile\| If this is not enough, an interface is provided to \|Python\|, \|Ruby\|, \|Tcl\|, \|Lua\|, \|Perl\| and \|MzScheme\|. Viminfo. \|viminfo-file\| The command-line history, marks and registers can be stored in a file that is read on startup. This can be used to repeat a search command or command-line command after exiting and restarting Vim. It is also possible to jump right back to where the last edit stopped with \|'0\|. The 'viminfo' option can be set to select which items to store in the .viminfo file. This is off by default. Printing. \|printing\| The \|:hardcopy\| command sends text to the printer. This can include syntax highlighting. Mouse support. \|mouse-using\| The mouse is supported in the GUI version, in an xterm for Unix, for BSDs with sysmouse, for Linux with gpm, and Win32. It can be used to position the cursor, select the visual area, paste a register, etc. Usage of key names. \|<>\| \|key-notation\| Special keys now all have a name like <Up>, <End>, etc. This name can be used in mappings, to make it easy to edit them. Editing binary files. \|edit-binary\| Vim can edit binary files. You can change a few characters in an executable file, without corrupting it. Vim doesn't remove NUL characters (they are represented as <NL> internally). \|-b\| command-line argument to start editing a binary file \|'binary'\| Option set by \|-b\|. Prevents adding an <EOL> for the last line in the file. Multi-language support. \|multi-lang\| Files in double-byte or multibyte encodings can be edited. There is UTF-8 support to be able to edit various languages at the same time, without switching fonts. \|UTF-8\| Messages and menus are available in different languages. Move cursor beyond lines. When the 'virtualedit' option is set the cursor can move all over the screen, also where there is no text. This is useful to edit tables and figures easily. ============================================================================== 5. Other vim features other-features A random collection of nice extra features. When Vim is started with "-s scriptfile", the characters read from "scriptfile" are treated as if you typed them. If end of file is reached before the editor exits, further characters are read from the console. The "-w" option can be used to record all typed characters in a script file. This file can then be used to redo the editing, possibly on another file or after changing some commands in the script file. The "-o" option opens a window for each argument. "-o4" opens four windows. Vi requires several termcap entries to be able to work full-screen. Vim only requires the "cm" entry (cursor motion). In command mode: When the 'showcmd' option is set, the command characters are shown in the last line of the screen. They are removed when the command is finished. If the 'ruler' option is set, the current cursor position is shown in the last line of the screen. "U" still works after having moved off the last changed line and after "u". Characters with the 8th bit set are displayed. The characters between '~' and 0xa0 are displayed as "~?", "~@", "~A", etc., unless they are included in the 'isprint' option. "][" goes to the next ending of a C function ('}' in column 1). "[]" goes to the previous ending of a C function ('}' in column 1). "]f", "[f" and "gf" start editing the file whose name is under the cursor. CTRL-W f splits the window and starts editing the file whose name is under the cursor. "" searches forward for the identifier under the cursor, "#" backward. "K" runs the program defined by the 'keywordprg' option, with the identifier under the cursor as argument. "%" can be preceded with a count. The cursor jumps to the line that percentage down in the file. The normal "%" function to jump to the matching brace skips braces inside quotes. With the CTRL-] command, the cursor may be in the middle of the identifier. The used tags are remembered. Commands that can be used with the tag stack are CTRL-T, ":pop" and ":tag". ":tags" lists the tag stack. Vi uses 'wrapscan' when searching for a tag. When jumping to a tag Vi starts searching in line 2 of another file. It does not find a tag in line 1 of another file when 'wrapscan' is not set. The 'tags' option can be set to a list of tag file names. Thus multiple tag files can be used. For file names that start with "./", the "./" is replaced with the path of the current file. This makes it possible to use a tags file in the same directory as the file being edited. {Vi: always uses binary search in some versions} {Vi does not have the security prevention for commands in tag files} Previously used file names are remembered in the alternate file name list. CTRL-^ accepts a count, which is an index in this list. ":files" command shows the list of alternate file names. "#<N>" is replaced with the <N>th alternate file name in the list. "#<" is replaced with the current file name without extension. Search patterns have more features. The <NL> character is seen as part of the search pattern and the substitute string of ":s". Vi sees it as the end of the command. Searches can put the cursor on the end of a match and may include a character offset. Count added to "~", ":next", ":Next", "n" and "N". The command ":next!" with 'autowrite' set does not write the file. In vi the file was written, but this is considered to be a bug, because one does not expect it and the file is not written with ":rewind!". In Vi when entering a <CR> in replace mode deletes a character only when 'ai' is set (but does not show it until you hit <Esc>). Vim always deletes a character (and shows it immediately). Added :wnext command. Same as ":write" followed by ":next". The ":w!" command always writes, also when the file is write protected. In Vi you would have to do ":!chmod +w %:S" and ":set noro". When 'tildeop' has been set, "~" is an operator (must be followed by a movement command). With the "J" (join) command you can reset the 'joinspaces' option to have only one space after a period (Vi inserts two spaces). "cw" can be used to change white space formed by several characters (Vi is confusing: "cw" only changes one space, while "dw" deletes all white space). {Vi: "cw" when on a blank followed by other blanks changes only the first blank; this is probably a bug, because "dw" deletes all the blanks} "o" and "O" accept a count for repeating the insert (Vi clears a part of display). Flags after Ex commands not supported (no plans to include it). On non-UNIX systems ":cd" command shows current directory instead of going to the home directory (there isn't one). ":pwd" prints the current directory on all systems. After a ":cd" command the file names (in the argument list, opened files) still point to the same files. In Vi ":cd" is not allowed in a changed file; otherwise the meaning of file names change. ":source!" command reads Vi commands from a file. ":mkexrc" command writes current modified options and mappings to a ".exrc" file. ":mkvimrc" writes to a ".vimrc" file. No check for "tail recursion" with mappings. This allows things like ":map! foo ^]foo". When a mapping starts with number, vi loses the count typed before it (e.g. when using the mapping ":map g 4G" the command "7g" goes to line 4). This is considered a vi bug. Vim concatenates the counts (in the example it becomes "74G"), as most people would expect. The :put! command inserts the contents of a register above the current line. The "p" and "P" commands of vi cannot be repeated with "." when the putted text is less than a line. In Vim they can always be repeated. ":noremap" command can be used to enter a mapping that will not be remapped. This is useful to exchange the meaning of two keys. ":cmap", ":cunmap" and ":cnoremap" can be used for mapping in command-line editing only. ":imap", ":iunmap" and ":inoremap" can be used for mapping in insert mode only. Similar commands exist for abbreviations: ":noreabbrev", ":iabbrev" ":cabbrev", ":iunabbrev", ":cunabbrev", ":inoreabbrev", ":cnoreabbrev". In Vi the command ":map foo bar" would remove a previous mapping ":map bug foo". This is considered a bug, so it is not included in Vim. ":unmap! foo" does remove ":map! bug foo", because unmapping would be very difficult otherwise (this is vi compatible). The ':' register contains the last command-line. The '%' register contains the current file name. The '.' register contains the last inserted text. ":dis" command shows the contents of the yank registers. CTRL-O/CTRL-I can be used to jump to older/newer positions. These are the same positions as used with the '' command, but may be in another file. The ":jumps" command lists the older positions. If the 'shiftround' option is set, an indent is rounded to a multiple of 'shiftwidth' with ">" and "<" commands. The 'scrolljump' option can be set to the minimum number of lines to scroll when the cursor gets off the screen. Use this when scrolling is slow. The 'scrolloff' option can be set to the minimum number of lines to keep above and below the cursor. This gives some context to where you are editing. When set to a large number the cursor line is always in the middle of the window. Uppercase marks can be used to jump between files. The ":marks" command lists all currently set marks. The commands "']" and "`]" jump to the end of the previous operator or end of the text inserted with the put command. "'[" and "`[" do jump to the start. {Vi: no uppercase marks} The 'shelltype' option can be set to reflect the type of shell used on the Amiga. The 'highlight' option can be set for the highlight mode to be used for several commands. The CTRL-A (add) and CTRL-X (subtract) commands are new. The count to the command (default 1) is added to/subtracted from the number at or after the cursor. That number may be decimal, octal (starts with a '0') or hexadecimal (starts with '0x'). Very useful in macros. With the :set command the prefix "inv" can be used to invert boolean options. In both Vi and Vim you can create a line break with the ":substitute" command by using a CTRL-M. For Vi this means you cannot insert a real CTRL-M in the text. With Vim you can put a real CTRL-M in the text by preceding it with a CTRL-V. In Insert mode: If the 'revins' option is set, insert happens backwards. This is for typing Hebrew. When inserting normal characters the cursor will not be shifted and the text moves rightwards. Backspace, CTRL-W and CTRL-U will also work in the opposite direction. CTRL-B toggles the 'revins' option. In replace mode 'revins' has no effect. Only when enabled at compile time. The backspace key can be used just like CTRL-D to remove auto-indents. You can backspace, CTRL-U and CTRL-W over line breaks if the 'backspace' (bs) option includes "eol". You can backspace over the start of insert if the 'backspace' option includes "start". When the 'paste' option is set, a few options are reset and mapping in insert mode and abbreviation are disabled. This allows for pasting text in windowing systems without unexpected results. When the 'paste' option is reset, the old option values are restored. CTRL-T/CTRL-D always insert/delete an indent in the current line, no matter what column the cursor is in. CTRL-@ (insert previously inserted text) works always (Vi: only when typed as first character). CTRL-A works like CTRL-@ but does not leave insert mode. CTRL-R {register} can be used to insert the contents of a register. When the 'smartindent' option is set, C programs will be better auto-indented. With 'cindent' even more. CTRL-Y and CTRL-E can be used to copy a character from above/below the current cursor position. After CTRL-V you can enter a three digit decimal number. This byte value is inserted in the text as a single character. Useful for international characters that are not on your keyboard. When the 'expandtab' (et) option is set, a <Tab> is expanded to the appropriate number of spaces. The window always reflects the contents of the buffer (Vi does not do this when changing text and in some other cases). If Vim is compiled with DIGRAPHS defined, digraphs are supported. A set of normal digraphs is included. They are shown with the ":digraph" command. More can be added with ":digraph {char1}{char2} {number}". A digraph is entered with "CTRL-K {char1} {char2}" or "{char1} BS {char2}" (only when 'digraph' option is set). When repeating an insert, e.g. "10atest <Esc>" vi would only handle wrapmargin for the first insert. Vim does it for all. A count to the "i" or "a" command is used for all the text. Vi uses the count only for one line. "3iabc<NL>def<Esc>" would insert "abcabcabc<NL>def" in Vi but "abc<NL>defabc<NL>defabc<NL>def" in Vim. In Command-line mode: <Esc> terminates the command-line without executing it. In vi the command line would be executed, which is not what most people expect (hitting <Esc> should always get you back to command mode). To avoid problems with some obscure macros, an <Esc> in a macro will execute the command. If you want a typed <Esc> to execute the command like vi does you can fix this with ":cmap ^V<Esc> ^V<CR>" General: The 'ttimeout' option is like 'timeout', but only works for cursor and function keys, not for ordinary mapped characters. The 'timeoutlen' option gives the number of milliseconds that is waited for. If the 'esckeys' option is not set, cursor and function keys that start with <Esc> are not recognized in insert mode. There is an option for each terminal string. Can be used when termcap is not supported or to change individual strings. The 'fileformat' option can be set to select the <EOL>: "dos" <CR><NL>, "unix" <NL> or "mac" <CR>. When the 'fileformats' option is not empty, Vim tries to detect the type of <EOL> automatically. The 'fileformat' option is set accordingly. On systems that have no job control (older Unix systems and non-Unix systems) the CTRL-Z, ":stop" or ":suspend" command starts a new shell. If Vim is started on the Amiga without an interactive window for output, a window is opened (and :sh still works). You can give a device to use for editing with the \|-d\| argument, e.g. "-d con:20/20/600/150". The 'columns' and 'lines' options are used to set or get the width and height of the display. Option settings are read from the first and last few lines of the file. Option 'modelines' determines how many lines are tried (default is 5). Note that this is different from the Vi versions that can execute any Ex command in a modeline (a major security problem). \|trojan-horse\| If the 'insertmode' option is set (e.g. in .exrc), Vim starts in insert mode. And it comes back there, when pressing <Esc>. Undo information is kept in memory. Available memory limits the number and size of change that can be undone. This is hardly a problem on the Amiga and almost never with Unix and Win32. If the 'backup' or 'writebackup' option is set: Before a file is overwritten, a backup file (.bak) is made. If the "backup" option is set it is left behind. Vim creates a file ending in ".swp" to store parts of the file that have been changed or that do not fit in memory. This file can be used to recover from an aborted editing session with "vim -r file". Using the swap file can be switched off by setting the 'updatecount' option to 0 or starting Vim with the "-n" option. Use the 'directory' option for placing the .swp file somewhere else. Vim is able to work correctly on filesystems with 8.3 file names, also when using messydos or crossdos filesystems on the Amiga, or any 8.3 mounted filesystem under Unix. See \|'shortname'\|. Error messages are shown at least one second (Vi overwrites error messages). If Vim gives the \|hit-enter\| prompt, you can hit any key. Characters other than <CR>, <NL> and <Space> are interpreted as the (start of) a command. {Vi: only ":" commands are interpreted} The contents of the numbered and unnamed registers is remembered when changing files. The "No lines in buffer" message is a normal message instead of an error message, since that may cause a mapping to be aborted. {Vi: error messages may be overwritten with other messages before you have a chance to read them} The AUX: device of the Amiga is supported. ============================================================================== 6. Supported Vi features vi-features* Vim supports nearly all Vi commands and mostly in the same way. That is when the 'compatible' option is set and 'cpoptions' contains all flags. What the effect is of resetting 'compatible' and removing flags from 'cpoptions' can be found at the help for the specific command. The help files used to mark features that are in Vim but not in Vi with {not in Vi}. However, since these remarks cluttered the help files we now do it the other way around: Below is listed what Vi already supported. Anything else has been added by Vim. The following Ex commands are supported by Vi: ~ `:abbreviate` enter abbreviation `:append` append text `:args` print the argument list `:cd` change directory; Vi: no "cd -" `:change` replace a line or series of lines `:chdir` change directory `:copy` copy lines `:delete` delete lines `:edit` edit a file `:exit` same as `:xit` `:file` show or set the current file name; Vi: without the column number `:global` execute commands for matching lines `:insert` insert text `:join` join lines; Vi: not :join! `:k` set a mark `:list` print lines `:map` show or enter a mapping `:mark` set a mark `:move` move lines `:Next` go to previous file in the argument list {Vi: no count} `:next` go to next file in the argument list {Vi: no count} `:number` print lines with line number `:open` start open mode (not implemented in Vim) `:pop` jump to older entry in tag stack (only in some versions) `:preserve` write all text to swap file {Vi: might also exit} `:previous` same as `:Next` {Vi: only in some versions} `:print` print lines `:put` insert contents of register in the text `:quit` quit Vi `:read` read file into the text `:recover` recover a file from a swap file {Vi: recovers in another way and sends mail if there is something to recover} `:rewind` go to the first file in the argument list; no ++opt `:set` set option; but not `:set inv{option}`, `:set option&`, `:set all&`, `:set option+=value`, `:set option^=value` `:set option-=value` `:set option<` `:shell` escape to a shell `:source` read Vi or Ex commands from a file `:stop` suspend the editor or escape to a shell `:substitute` find and replace text; Vi: no '&', 'i', 's', 'r' or 'I' flag, confirm prompt only supports 'y' and 'n', no highlighting `:suspend` same as ":stop" `:t` same as ":copy" `:tag` jump to tag `:unabbreviate` remove abbreviation `:undo` undo last change {Vi: only one level} `:unmap` remove mapping `:vglobal` execute commands for not matching lines `:version` print version number and other info `:visual` same as ":edit", but turns off "Ex" mode `:wq` write to a file and quit Vi `:write` write to a file `:xit` write if buffer changed and quit Vi `:yank` yank lines into a register `:z` print some lines {not in all versions of Vi} `:!` filter lines or execute an external command `:"` comment `:#` same as ":number" `:` execute contents of a register `:&` repeat last ":substitute" `:<` shift lines one 'shiftwidth' left `:=` print the cursor line number `:>` shift lines one 'shiftwidth' right `:@` execute contents of a register; but not `:@`; `:@@` only in some versions Common for these commands is that Vi doesn't support the ++opt argument on `:edit` and other commands that open a file. The following Normal mode commands are supported by Vi: ~ note: See the beginning of \|normal-index\| for the meaning of WORD, N, Nmove and etc in the description text. \|CTRL-B\| scroll N screens Backwards \|CTRL-C\| interrupt current (search) command \|CTRL-D\| scroll Down N lines (default: half a screen); Vim scrolls 'scroll' screen lines, Vi scrolls file lines; makes a difference when lines wrap \|CTRL-E\| scroll N lines upwards (N lines Extra) \|CTRL-F\| scroll N screens Forward \|CTRL-G\| display current file name and position \|<BS>\| same as "h" \|CTRL-H\| same as "h" \|<NL>\| same as "j" \|CTRL-J\| same as "j" \|CTRL-L\| redraw screen \|<CR>\| cursor to the first CHAR N lines lower \|CTRL-M\| same as <CR> \|CTRL-N\| same as "j" \|CTRL-P\| same as "k" \|CTRL-R\| in some Vi versions: same as CTRL-L \|CTRL-T\| jump to N older Tag in tag list \|CTRL-U\| N lines Upwards (default: half a screen) {Vi used file lines while Vim scrolls 'scroll' screen lines; makes a difference when lines wrap} \|CTRL-Y\| scroll N lines downwards \|CTRL-Z\| suspend program (or start new shell) \|CTRL-]\| :ta to ident under cursor {Vi: identifier after the cursor} \|CTRL-^\| edit alternate file {Vi: no count} \|<Space>\| same as "l" \|!\| filter Nmove text through the {filter} command \|!!\| filter N lines through the {filter} command " use register {a-zA-Z0-9.%#:-"} for next delete, yank or put (uppercase to append) ({.%#:} only work with put) \|$\| cursor to the end of Nth next line \|%\| find the next (curly/square) bracket on this line and go to its match, or go to matching comment bracket, or go to matching preprocessor directive (Vi: no count supported) \|&\| repeat last :s \|'\| jump to mark (Vi: only lowercase marks) \|(\| cursor N sentences backward \|)\| cursor N sentences forward \|+\| same as <CR> \|,\| repeat latest f, t, F or T in opposite direction N times \|-\| cursor to the first CHAR N lines higher \|.\| repeat last change with count replaced with N \|/\| search forward for the Nth occurrence of {pattern} \|0\| cursor to the first char of the line \|:\| start entering an Ex command \|;\| repeat latest f, t, F or T N times \|<\| shift Nmove lines one 'shiftwidth' leftwards \|<<\| shift N lines one 'shiftwidth' leftwards \|=\| filter Nmove lines through "indent" \|==\| filter N lines through "indent" \|>\| shift Nmove lines one 'shiftwidth' rightwards \|>>\| shift N lines one 'shiftwidth' rightwards \|?\| search backward for the Nth previous occurrence of {pattern} \|@\| execute the contents of register {a-z} N times {Vi: only named registers} \|@@\| repeat the previous @{a-z} N times \|A\| append text after the end of the line N times \|B\| cursor N WORDS backward \|C\| change from the cursor position to the end of the line \|D\| delete the characters under the cursor until the end of the line and N-1 more lines [into register x]; synonym for "d$" \|E\| cursor forward to the end of WORD N \|F\| cursor to the Nth occurrence of {char} to the left \|G\| cursor to line N, default last line \|H\| cursor to line N from top of screen \|I\| insert text before the first CHAR on the line N times \|J\| Join N lines; default is 2 \|L\| cursor to line N from bottom of screen \|M\| cursor to middle line of screen \|N\| repeat the latest '/' or '?'

Command-line arguments cmdline-arguments* Different versions of Vi have different command-line arguments. This can be confusing. To help you, this section gives an overview of the differences. Five variants of Vi will be considered here: Elvis Elvis version 2.1b Nvi Nvi version 1.79 Posix Posix 1003.2 Vi Vi version 3.7 (for Sun 4.1.x) Vile Vile version 7.4 (incomplete) Vim Vim version 5.2 Only Vim is able to accept options in between and after the file names. +{command} Elvis, Nvi, Posix, Vi, Vim: Same as "-c {command}". - Nvi, Posix, Vi: Run Ex in batch mode.

POSIX compliance posix posix-compliance In 2005 the POSIX test suite was run to check the compatibility of Vim. Most of the test was executed properly. There are the few things where Vim is not POSIX compliant, even when run in Vi compatibility mode. $VIM_POSIX Set the $VIM_POSIX environment variable to have 'cpoptions' include the POSIX flags when Vim starts up. This makes Vim run as POSIX as it can. That's a bit different from being Vi compatible. You can find the Posix specification for Vi here: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/vi.html And the related Ex specification: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/ex.html This is where Vim does not behave as POSIX specifies and why: posix-screen-size The $COLUMNS and $LINES environment variables are ignored by Vim if the size can be obtained from the terminal in a more reliable way. Add the '\|' flag to 'cpoptions' to have $COLUMNS and $LINES overrule sizes obtained in another way. The "{" and "}" commands don't stop at a "{" in the original Vi, but POSIX specifies it does. Add the '{' flag to 'cpoptions' if you want it the POSIX way. The "D", "o" and "O" commands accept a count. Also when repeated. Add the '#' flag to 'cpoptions' if you want to ignore the count. The ":cd" command fails if the current buffer is modified when the '.' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. There is no ATTENTION message, the "A" flag is added to 'shortmess'. These are remarks about running the POSIX test suite: - vi test 33 sometimes fails for unknown reasons - vi test 250 fails; behavior will be changed in a new revision http://www.opengroup.org/austin/mailarchives/ag-review/msg01710.html (link no longer works, perhaps it's now: https://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/show_mail.tpl?CALLER=show_archive.tpl&source=L&listname=austin-review-l&id=1711) - vi test 310 fails; exit code non-zero when any error occurred? - ex test 24 fails because test is wrong. Changed between SUSv2 and SUSv3. - ex tests 47, 48, 49, 72, 73 fail because .exrc file isn't read in silent mode and $EXINIT isn't used. - ex tests 76, 78 fail because echo is used instead of printf. (fixed) Also: problem with \s not changed to space. - ex test 355 fails because 'window' isn't used for "30z". - ex test 368 fails because shell command isn't echoed in silent mode. - ex test 394 fails because "=" command output isn't visible in silent mode. - ex test 411 fails because test file is wrong, contains stray ':'. - ex test 475 and 476 fail because reprint output isn't visible in silent mode. - ex test 480 and 481 fail because the tags file has spaces instead of a tab. - ex test 502 fails because .exrc isn't read in silent mode. - ex test 509 fails because .exrc isn't read in silent mode. and exit code is 1 instead of 2. - ex test 534 fails because .exrc isn't read in silent mode. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	56.08 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Vim9-script THIS IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT - ANYTHING CAN BREAK - ANYTHING CAN CHANGE Vim script has been growing over time, while preserving backwards compatibility. That means bad choices from the past often can't be changed and compatibility with Vi restricts possible solutions. Execution is quite slow, each line is parsed every time it is executed. The main goal of Vim9 script is to drastically improve performance. This is accomplished by compiling commands into instructions that can be efficiently executed. An increase in execution speed of 10 to 100 times can be expected. A secondary goal is to avoid Vim-specific constructs and get closer to commonly used programming languages, such as JavaScript, TypeScript and Java. The performance improvements can only be achieved by not being 100% backwards compatible. For example, making function arguments available in the "a:" dictionary adds quite a lot of overhead. In a Vim9 function this dictionary is not available. Other differences are more subtle, such as how errors are handled. The Vim9 script syntax and semantics are used in: - a function defined with the `:def` command - a script file where the first command is `vim9script` - an autocommand defined in the context of the above - a command prefixed with the `vim9cmd` command modifier When using `:function` in a Vim9 script file the legacy syntax is used, with the highest \|scriptversion\|. However, this can be confusing and is therefore discouraged. Vim9 script and legacy Vim script can be mixed. There is no requirement to rewrite old scripts, they keep working as before. You may want to use a few `:def` functions for code that needs to be fast. :vim9 :vim9cmd :vim9[cmd] {cmd} Execute {cmd} using Vim9 script syntax and semantics. Useful when typing a command and in a legacy script or function. ============================================================================== 2. Differences from legacy Vim script vim9-differences THIS IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT - ANYTHING CAN BREAK - ANYTHING CAN CHANGE Overview ~ Brief summary of the differences you will most often encounter when using Vim9 script and `:def` functions; details are below: - Comments start with #, not ": > echo "hello" # comment - Using a backslash for line continuation is hardly ever needed: > echo "hello " .. yourName .. ", how are you?" - White space is required in many places. - Assign values without `:let`, declare variables with `:var`: > var count = 0 count += 3 - Constants can be declared with `:final` and `:const`: > final matches = [] # add matches const names = ['Betty', 'Peter'] # cannot be changed - `:final` cannot be used as an abbreviation of `:finally`. - Variables and functions are script-local by default. - Functions are declared with argument types and return type: > def CallMe(count: number, message: string): bool - Call functions without `:call`: > writefile(['done'], 'file.txt') - You cannot use `:xit`, `:t`, `:k`, `:append`, `:change`, `:insert`, `:open` or curly-braces names. - A range before a command must be prefixed with a colon: > :%s/this/that - Unless mentioned specifically, the highest \|scriptversion\| is used. Comments starting with # ~ In legacy Vim script comments start with double quote. In Vim9 script comments start with #. > # declarations var count = 0 # number of occurrences The reason is that a double quote can also be the start of a string. In many places, especially halfway through an expression with a line break, it's hard to tell what the meaning is, since both a string and a comment can be followed by arbitrary text. To avoid confusion only # comments are recognized. This is the same as in shell scripts and Python programs. In Vi # is a command to list text with numbers. In Vim9 script you can use `:number` for that. > 101 number To improve readability there must be a space between a command and the # that starts a comment: > var name = value # comment var name = value# error! In legacy Vim script # is also used for the alternate file name. In Vim9 script you need to use %% instead. Instead of ## use %%% (stands for all arguments). Vim9 functions ~ A function defined with `:def` is compiled. Execution is many times faster, often 10x to 100x times. Many errors are already found when compiling, before the function is executed. The syntax is strict, to enforce code that is easy to read and understand. Compilation is done when either of these is encountered: - the first time the function is called - when the `:defcompile` command is encountered in the script where the function was defined - `:disassemble` is used for the function. - a function that is compiled calls the function or uses it as a function reference `:def` has no options like `:function` does: "range", "abort", "dict" or "closure". A `:def` function always aborts on an error (unless `:silent!` was used for the command or inside a `:try` block), does not get a range passed cannot be a "dict" function, and can always be a closure. The argument types and return type need to be specified. The "any" type can be used, type checking will then be done at runtime, like with legacy functions. Arguments are accessed by name, without "a:", just like any other language. There is no "a:" dictionary or "a:000" list. Variable arguments are defined as the last argument, with a name and have a list type, similar to TypeScript. For example, a list of numbers: > def MyFunc(...itemlist: list<number>) for item in itemlist ... Functions and variables are script-local by default ~ vim9-scopes When using `:function` or `:def` to specify a new function at the script level in a Vim9 script, the function is local to the script, as if "s:" was prefixed. Using the "s:" prefix is optional. To define a global function or variable the "g:" prefix must be used. For functions in an autoload script the "name#" prefix is sufficient. > def ThisFunction() # script-local def s:ThisFunction() # script-local def g:ThatFunction() # global def scriptname#function() # autoload When using `:function` or `:def` to specify a nested function inside a `:def` function, this nested function is local to the code block it is defined in. In a `:def` function it is not possible to define a script-local function. It is possible to define a global function by using the "g:" prefix. When referring to a function and no "s:" or "g:" prefix is used, Vim will search for the function: - in the function scope, in block scopes - in the script scope, possibly imported - in the list of global functions However, it is recommended to always use "g:" to refer to a global function for clarity. In all cases the function must be defined before used. That is when it is called, when `:defcompile` causes it to be compiled, or when code that calls it is being compiled (to figure out the return type). The result is that functions and variables without a namespace can usually be found in the script, either defined there or imported. Global functions and variables could be defined anywhere (good luck finding out where!). Global functions can still be defined and deleted at nearly any time. In Vim9 script script-local functions are defined once when the script is sourced and cannot be deleted or replaced. When compiling a function and a function call is encountered for a function that is not (yet) defined, the \|FuncUndefined\| autocommand is not triggered. You can use an autoload function if needed, or call a legacy function and have \|FuncUndefined\| triggered there. Reloading a Vim9 script clears functions and variables by default ~ vim9-reload When loading a legacy Vim script a second time nothing is removed, the commands will replace existing variables and functions and create new ones. When loading a Vim9 script a second time all existing script-local functions and variables are deleted, thus you start with a clean slate. This is useful if you are developing a plugin and want to try a new version. If you renamed something you don't have to worry about the old name still hanging around. If you do want to keep items, use: > vim9script noclear You want to use this in scripts that use a `finish` command to bail out at some point when loaded again. E.g. when a buffer local option is set: > vim9script noclear setlocal completefunc=SomeFunc if exists('g:SomeFunc') \| finish \| endif def g:SomeFunc() .... Variable declarations with :var, :final and :const ~ vim9-declaration* :var Local variables need to be declared with `:var`. Local constants need to be declared with `:final` or `:const`. We refer to both as "variables" in this section. Variables can be local to a script, function or code block: > vim9script var script_var = 123 def SomeFunc() var func_var = script_var if cond var block_var = func_var ... The variables are only visible in the block where they are defined and nested blocks. Once the block ends the variable is no longer accessible: > if cond var inner = 5 else var inner = 0 endif echo inner # Error! The declaration must be done earlier: > var inner: number if cond inner = 5 else inner = 0 endif echo inner To intentionally hide a variable from code that follows, a block can be used: > { var temp = 'temp' ... } echo temp # Error! Declaring a variable with a type but without an initializer will initialize to zero, false or empty. In Vim9 script `:let` cannot be used. An existing variable is assigned to without any command. The same for global, window, tab, buffer and Vim variables, because they are not really declared. They can also be deleted with `:unlet`. Variables, functions and function arguments cannot shadow previously defined or imported variables and functions in the same script file. Variables may shadow Ex commands, rename the variable if needed. Global variables and user defined functions must be prefixed with "g:", also at the script level. > vim9script var script_local = 'text' g:global = 'value' var Funcref = g:ThatFunction Since `&opt = value` is now assigning a value to option "opt", ":&" cannot be used to repeat a `:substitute` command. Constants ~ vim9-const vim9-final How constants work varies between languages. Some consider a variable that can't be assigned another value a constant. JavaScript is an example. Others also make the value immutable, thus when a constant uses a list, the list cannot be changed. In Vim9 we can use both. `:const` is used for making both the variable and the value a constant. Use this for composite structures that you want to make sure will not be modified. Example: > const myList = [1, 2] myList = [3, 4] # Error! myList[0] = 9 # Error! myList->add(3) # Error! < :final `:final` is used for making only the variable a constant, the value can be changed. This is well known from Java. Example: > final myList = [1, 2] myList = [3, 4] # Error! myList[0] = 9 # OK myList->add(3) # OK It is common to write constants as ALL_CAPS, but you don't have to. The constant only applies to the value itself, not what it refers to. > final females = ["Mary"] const NAMES = [["John", "Peter"], females] NAMES[0] = ["Jack"] # Error! NAMES[0][0] = "Jack" # Error! NAMES[1] = ["Emma"] # Error! NAMES[1][0] = "Emma" # OK, now females[0] == "Emma" < E1092 Declaring more than one variable at a time, using the unpack notation, is currently not supported: > var [v1, v2] = GetValues() # Error! That is because the type needs to be inferred from the list item type, which isn't that easy. Omitting :call and :eval ~ Functions can be called without `:call`: > writefile(lines, 'file') Using `:call` is still possible, but this is discouraged. A method call without `eval` is possible, so long as the start is an identifier or can't be an Ex command. For a function either "(" or "->" must be following, without a line break. Examples: > myList->add(123) g:myList->add(123) [1, 2, 3]->Process() {a: 1, b: 2}->Process() "foobar"->Process() ("foobar")->Process() 'foobar'->Process() ('foobar')->Process() In the rare case there is ambiguity between a function name and an Ex command, prepend ":" to make clear you want to use the Ex command. For example, there is both the `:substitute` command and the `substitute()` function. When the line starts with `substitute(` this will use the function. Prepend a colon to use the command instead: > :substitute(pattern (replacement ( Note that while variables need to be defined before they can be used, functions can be called before being defined. This is required to allow for cyclic dependencies between functions. It is slightly less efficient, since the function has to be looked up by name. And a typo in the function name will only be found when the function is called. Omitting function() ~ A user defined function can be used as a function reference in an expression without `function()`. The argument types and return type will then be checked. The function must already have been defined. > var Funcref = MyFunction When using `function()` the resulting type is "func", a function with any number of arguments and any return type. The function can be defined later. Lambda using => instead of -> ~ In legacy script there can be confusion between using "->" for a method call and for a lambda. Also, when a "{" is found the parser needs to figure out if it is the start of a lambda or a dictionary, which is now more complicated because of the use of argument types. To avoid these problems Vim9 script uses a different syntax for a lambda, which is similar to Javascript: > var Lambda = (arg) => expression No line break is allowed in the arguments of a lambda up to and including the "=>". This is OK: > filter(list, (k, v) => v > 0) This does not work: > filter(list, (k, v) => v > 0) This also does not work: > filter(list, (k, v) => v > 0) But you can use a backslash to concatenate the lines before parsing: > filter(list, (k, \ v) \ => v > 0) Additionally, a lambda can contain statements in {}: > var Lambda = (arg) => { g:was_called = 'yes' return expression } NOT IMPLEMENTED YET vim9-curly To avoid the "{" of a dictionary literal to be recognized as a statement block wrap it in parentheses: > var Lambda = (arg) => ({key: 42}) Also when confused with the start of a command block: > ({ key: value })->method() Automatic line continuation ~ In many cases it is obvious that an expression continues on the next line. In those cases there is no need to prefix the line with a backslash (see \|line-continuation\|). For example, when a list spans multiple lines: > var mylist = [ 'one', 'two', ] And when a dict spans multiple lines: > var mydict = { one: 1, two: 2, } Function call: > var result = Func( arg1, arg2 ) For binary operators in expressions not in [], {} or () a line break is possible just before or after the operator. For example: > var text = lead .. middle .. end var total = start + end - correction var result = positive ? PosFunc(arg) : NegFunc(arg) For a method call using "->" and a member using a dot, a line break is allowed before it: > var result = GetBuilder() ->BuilderSetWidth(333) ->BuilderSetHeight(777) ->BuilderBuild() var result = MyDict .member For commands that have an argument that is a list of commands, the \| character at the start of the line indicates line continuation: > autocmd BufNewFile .match if condition \| echo 'match' \| endif < E1050* To make it possible for the operator at the start of the line to be recognized, it is required to put a colon before a range. This will add "start" and print: > var result = start + print Like this: > var result = start + print This will assign "start" and print a line: > var result = start :+ print Note that the colon is not required for the \|+cmd\| argument: > edit +6 fname It is also possible to split a function header over multiple lines, in between arguments: > def MyFunc( text: string, separator = '-' ): string Since a continuation line cannot be easily recognized the parsing of commands has been made stricter. E.g., because of the error in the first line, the second line is seen as a separate command: > popup_create(some invalid expression, { exit_cb: Func}) Now "exit_cb: Func})" is actually a valid command: save any changes to the file "_cb: Func})" and exit. To avoid this kind of mistake in Vim9 script there must be white space between most command names and the argument. However, the argument of a command that is a command won't be recognized. For example, after "windo echo expr" a line break inside "expr" will not be seen. Notes: - "enddef" cannot be used at the start of a continuation line, it ends the current function. - No line break is allowed in the LHS of an assignment. Specifically when unpacking a list \|:let-unpack\|. This is OK: > [var1, var2] = Func() < This does not work: > [var1, var2] = Func() - No line break is allowed in between arguments of an `:echo`, `:execute` and similar commands. This is OK: > echo [1, 2] [3, 4] < This does not work: > echo [1, 2] [3, 4] No curly braces expansion ~ \|curly-braces-names\| cannot be used. Dictionary literals ~ Traditionally Vim has supported dictionary literals with a {} syntax: > let dict = {'key': value} Later it became clear that using a simple text key is very common, thus literal dictionaries were introduced in a backwards compatible way: > let dict = #{key: value} However, this #{} syntax is unlike any existing language. As it turns out that using a literal key is much more common than using an expression, and considering that JavaScript uses this syntax, using the {} form for dictionary literals is considered a much more useful syntax. In Vim9 script the {} form uses literal keys: > var dict = {key: value} This works for alphanumeric characters, underscore and dash. If you want to use another character, use a single or double quoted string: > var dict = {'key with space': value} var dict = {"key\twith\ttabs": value} var dict = {'': value} # empty key In case the key needs to be an expression, square brackets can be used, just like in JavaScript: > var dict = {["key" .. nr]: value} The key type can be string, number, bool or float. Other types result in an error. A number can be given with and without the []: > var dict = {123: 'without', [456]: 'with'} echo dict {'456': 'with', '123': 'without'} No :xit, :t, :k, :append, :change or :insert ~ These commands are too easily confused with local variable names. Instead of `:x` or `:xit` you can use `:exit`. Instead of `:t` you can use `:copy`. Instead of `:k` you can use `:mark`. Comparators ~ The 'ignorecase' option is not used for comparators that use strings. For loop ~ Legacy Vim script has some tricks to make a for loop over a list handle deleting items at the current or previous item. In Vim9 script it just uses the index, if items are deleted then items in the list will be skipped. Example legacy script: > let l = [1, 2, 3, 4] for i in l echo i call remove(l, index(l, i)) endfor Would echo: 1 2 3 4 In compiled Vim9 script you get: 1 3 Generally, you should not change the list that is iterated over. Make a copy first if needed. White space ~ Vim9 script enforces proper use of white space. This is no longer allowed: > var name=234 # Error! var name= 234 # Error! var name =234 # Error! There must be white space before and after the "=": > var name = 234 # OK White space must also be put before the # that starts a comment after a command: > var name = 234# Error! var name = 234 # OK White space is required around most operators. White space is required in a sublist (list slice) around the ":", except at the start and end: > otherlist = mylist[v : count] # v:count has a different meaning otherlist = mylist[:] # make a copy of the List otherlist = mylist[v :] otherlist = mylist[: v] White space is not allowed: - Between a function name and the "(": > Func (arg) # Error! Func \ (arg) # Error! Func (arg) # Error! Func(arg) # OK Func( arg) # OK Func( arg # OK ) Conditions and expressions ~ Conditions and expressions are mostly working like they do in other languages. Some values are different from legacy Vim script: value legacy Vim script Vim9 script ~ 0 falsy falsy 1 truthy truthy 99 truthy Error! "0" falsy Error! "99" truthy Error! "text" falsy Error! For the "??" operator and when using "!" then there is no error, every value is either falsy or truthy. This is mostly like JavaScript, except that an empty list and dict is falsy: type truthy when ~ bool true, v:true or 1 number non-zero float non-zero string non-empty blob non-empty list non-empty (different from JavaScript) dictionary non-empty (different from JavaScript) func when there is a function name special true or v:true job when not NULL channel when not NULL class when not NULL object when not NULL (TODO: when isTrue() returns true) The boolean operators "\|\|" and "&&" expect the values to be boolean, zero or one: > 1 \|\| false == true 0 \|\| 1 == true 0 \|\| false == false 1 && true == true 0 && 1 == false 8 \|\| 0 Error! 'yes' && 0 Error! [] \|\| 99 Error! When using "!" for inverting, there is no error for using any type and the result is a boolean. "!!" can be used to turn any value into boolean: > !'yes' == false !![] == false !![1, 2, 3] == true When using "`.."` for string concatenation arguments of simple types are always converted to string: > 'hello ' .. 123 == 'hello 123' 'hello ' .. v:true == 'hello true' Simple types are string, float, special and bool. For other types \|string()\| can be used. false true null In Vim9 script one can use "true" for v:true, "false" for v:false and "null" for v:null. When converting a boolean to a string "false" and "true" are used, not "v:false" and "v:true" like in legacy script. "v:none" is not changed, it is only used in JSON and has no equivalent in other languages. Indexing a string with [idx] or taking a slice with [idx : idx] uses character indexes instead of byte indexes. Composing characters are included. Example: > echo 'bár'[1] In legacy script this results in the character 0xc3 (an illegal byte), in Vim9 script this results in the string 'á'. A negative index is counting from the end, "[-1]" is the last character. To exclude the last character use \|slice()\|. If the index is out of range then an empty string results. In legacy script "++var" and "--var" would be silently accepted and have no effect. This is an error in Vim9 script. Numbers starting with zero are not considered to be octal, only numbers starting with "0o" are octal: "0o744". \|scriptversion-4\| What to watch out for ~ vim9-gotchas Vim9 was designed to be closer to often used programming languages, but at the same time tries to support the legacy Vim commands. Some compromises had to be made. Here is a summary of what might be unexpected. Ex command ranges need to be prefixed with a colon. > -> legacy Vim: shifts the previous line to the right ->func() Vim9: method call in a continuation line :-> Vim9: shifts the previous line to the right %s/a/b legacy Vim: substitute on all lines x = alongname % another Vim9: modulo operator in a continuation line :%s/a/b Vim9: substitute on all lines 't legacy Vim: jump to mark t 'text'->func() Vim9: method call :'t Vim9: jump to mark t Some Ex commands can be confused with assignments in Vim9 script: > g:name = value # assignment g:pattern:cmd # invalid command - ERROR :g:pattern:cmd # :global command Functions defined with `:def` compile the whole function. Legacy functions can bail out, and the following lines are not parsed: > func Maybe() if !has('feature') return endif use-feature endfunc Vim9 functions are compiled as a whole: > def Maybe() if !has('feature') return endif use-feature # May give a compilation error enddef For a workaround, split it in two functions: > func Maybe() if has('feature') call MaybeInner() endif endfunc if has('feature') def MaybeInner() use-feature enddef endif Or put the unsupported code inside an `if` with a constant expression that evaluates to false: > def Maybe() if has('feature') use-feature endif enddef < vim9-user-command Another side effect of compiling a function is that the presence of a user command is checked at compile time. If the user command is defined later an error will result. This works: > command -nargs=1 MyCommand echom <q-args> def Works() MyCommand 123 enddef This will give an error for "MyCommand" not being defined: > def Works() command -nargs=1 MyCommand echom <q-args> MyCommand 123 enddef A workaround is to invoke the command indirectly with `:execute`: > def Works() command -nargs=1 MyCommand echom <q-args> execute 'MyCommand 123' enddef Note that for unrecognized commands there is no check for "\|" and a following command. This will give an error for missing `endif`: > def Maybe() if has('feature') \| use-feature \| endif enddef Other differences ~ Patterns are used like 'magic' is set, unless explicitly overruled. The 'edcompatible' option value is not used. The 'gdefault' option value is not used. You may also find this wiki useful. It was written by an early adoptor of Vim9 script: https://github.com/lacygoill/wiki/blob/master/vim/vim9.md ============================================================================== 3. New style functions fast-functions THIS IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT - ANYTHING CAN BREAK - ANYTHING CAN CHANGE :def :def[!] {name}([arguments])[: {return-type}] Define a new function by the name {name}. The body of the function follows in the next lines, until the matching `:enddef`. When {return-type} is omitted or is "void" the function is not expected to return anything. {arguments} is a sequence of zero or more argument declarations. There are three forms: {name}: {type} {name} = {value} {name}: {type} = {value} The first form is a mandatory argument, the caller must always provide them. The second and third form are optional arguments. When the caller omits an argument the {value} is used. The function will be compiled into instructions when called, or when `:disassemble` or `:defcompile` is used. Syntax and type errors will be produced at that time. It is possible to nest `:def` inside another `:def` or `:function` up to about 50 levels deep. [!] is used as with `:function`. Note that script-local functions cannot be deleted or redefined later in Vim9 script. They can only be removed by reloading the same script. :enddef :enddef End of a function defined with `:def`. It should be on a line by its own. You may also find this wiki useful. It was written by an early adoptor of Vim9 script: https://github.com/lacygoill/wiki/blob/master/vim/vim9.md If the script the function is defined in is Vim9 script, then script-local variables can be accessed without the "s:" prefix. They must be defined before the function is compiled. If the script the function is defined in is legacy script, then script-local variables must be accessed with the "s:" prefix and they do not need to exist (they can be deleted any time). :defc :defcompile :defc[ompile] Compile functions defined in the current script that were not compiled yet. This will report errors found during the compilation. :disa :disassemble :disa[ssemble] {func} Show the instructions generated for {func}. This is for debugging and testing. Note that for command line completion of {func} you can prepend "s:" to find script-local functions. :disa[ssemble]! {func} Like `:disassemble` but with the instructions used for profiling. Limitations ~ Local variables will not be visible to string evaluation. For example: > def MapList(): list<string> var list = ['aa', 'bb', 'cc', 'dd'] return range(1, 2)->map('list[v:val]') enddef The map argument is a string expression, which is evaluated without the function scope. Instead, use a lambda: > def MapList(): list<string> var list = ['aa', 'bb', 'cc', 'dd'] return range(1, 2)->map(( _, v) => list[v]) enddef The same is true for commands that are not compiled, such as `:global`. For these the backtick expansion can be used. Example: > def Replace() var newText = 'blah' g/pattern/s/^/`=newText`/ enddef ============================================================================== 4. Types vim9-types THIS IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT - ANYTHING CAN BREAK - ANYTHING CAN CHANGE The following builtin types are supported: bool number float string blob list<{type}> dict<{type}> job channel func func: {type} func({type}, ...) func({type}, ...): {type} Not supported yet: tuple<a: {type}, b: {type}, ...> These types can be used in declarations, but no value will have this type: {type}\|{type} {not implemented yet} void any There is no array type, use list<{type}> instead. For a list constant an efficient implementation is used that avoids allocating lot of small pieces of memory. A partial and function can be declared in more or less specific ways: func any kind of function reference, no type checking for arguments or return value func: {type} any number and type of arguments with specific return type func({type}) function with argument type, does not return a value func({type}): {type} function with argument type and return type func(?{type}) function with type of optional argument, does not return a value func(...{type}) function with type of variable number of arguments, does not return a value func({type}, ?{type}, ...{type}): {type} function with: - type of mandatory argument - type of optional argument - type of variable number of arguments - return type If the return type is "void" the function does not return a value. The reference can also be a \|Partial\|, in which case it stores extra arguments and/or a dictionary, which are not visible to the caller. Since they are called in the same way the declaration is the same. Custom types can be defined with `:type`: > :type MyList list<string> Custom types must start with a capital letter, to avoid name clashes with builtin types added later, similarly to user functions. {not implemented yet} And classes and interfaces can be used as types: > :class MyClass :var mine: MyClass :interface MyInterface :var mine: MyInterface :class MyTemplate<Targ> :var mine: MyTemplate<number> :var mine: MyTemplate<string> :class MyInterface<Targ> :var mine: MyInterface<number> :var mine: MyInterface<string> {not implemented yet} Variable types and type casting ~ variable-types Variables declared in Vim9 script or in a `:def` function have a type, either specified explicitly or inferred from the initialization. Global, buffer, window and tab page variables do not have a specific type, the value can be changed at any time, possibly changing the type. Therefore, in compiled code the "any" type is assumed. This can be a problem when the "any" type is undesired and the actual type is expected to always be the same. For example, when declaring a list: > var l: list<number> = [1, g:two] At compile time Vim doesn't know the type of "g:two" and the expression type becomes list<any>. An instruction is generated to check the list type before doing the assignment, which is a bit inefficient. type-casting To avoid this, use a type cast: > var l: list<number> = [1, <number>g:two] The compiled code will then only check that "g:two" is a number and give an error if it isn't. This is called type casting. The syntax of a type cast is: "<" {type} ">". There cannot be white space after the "<" or before the ">" (to avoid them being confused with smaller-than and bigger-than operators). The semantics is that, if needed, a runtime type check is performed. The value is not actually changed. If you need to change the type, e.g. to change it to a string, use the \|string()\| function. Or use \|str2nr()\| to convert a string to a number. Type inference ~ type-inference In general: Whenever the type is clear it can be omitted. For example, when declaring a variable and giving it a value: > var name = 0 # infers number type var name = 'hello' # infers string type The type of a list and dictionary comes from the common type of the values. If the values all have the same type, that type is used for the list or dictionary. If there is a mix of types, the "any" type is used. > [1, 2, 3] list<number> ['a', 'b', 'c'] list<string> [1, 'x', 3] list<any> Stricter type checking ~ type-checking In legacy Vim script, where a number was expected, a string would be automatically converted to a number. This was convenient for an actual number such as "123", but leads to unexpected problems (but no error message) if the string doesn't start with a number. Quite often this leads to hard-to-find bugs. In Vim9 script this has been made stricter. In most places it works just as before, if the value used matches the expected type. There will sometimes be an error, thus breaking backwards compatibility. For example: - Using a number other than 0 or 1 where a boolean is expected. E1023 - Using a string value when setting a number options. - Using a number where a string is expected. E1024 One consequence is that the item type of a list or dict given to map() must not change. This will give an error in Vim9 script: > map([1, 2, 3], (i, v) => 'item ' .. i) E1012: Type mismatch; expected number but got string Instead use \|mapnew()\|. If the item type was determined to be "any" it can change to a more specific type. E.g. when a list of mixed types gets changed to a list of numbers. Same for \|extend()\|, use \|extendnew()\| instead, and for \|flatten()\|, use \|flattennew()\| instead. ============================================================================== 5. Namespace, Import and Export vim9script vim9-export vim9-import THIS IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT - ANYTHING CAN BREAK - ANYTHING CAN CHANGE A Vim9 script can be written to be imported. This means that everything in the script is local, unless exported. Those exported items, and only those items, can then be imported in another script. You can cheat by using the global namespace explicitly. We will assume here that you don't do that. Namespace ~ vim9-namespace To recognize a file that can be imported the `vim9script` statement must appear as the first statement in the file (see \|vim9-mix\| for an exception). It tells Vim to interpret the script in its own namespace, instead of the global namespace. If a file starts with: > vim9script var myvar = 'yes' Then "myvar" will only exist in this file. While without `vim9script` it would be available as `g:myvar` from any other script and function. The variables at the file level are very much like the script-local "s:" variables in legacy Vim script, but the "s:" is omitted. And they cannot be deleted. In Vim9 script the global "g:" namespace can still be used as before. And the "w:", "b:" and "t:" namespaces. These have in common that variables are not declared and they can be deleted. A side effect of `:vim9script` is that the 'cpoptions' option is set to the Vim default value, like with: > :set cpo&vim One of the effects is that \|line-continuation\| is always enabled. The original value of 'cpoptions' is restored at the end of the script, while flags added or removed in the script are also added to or removed from the original value to get the same effect. The order of flags may change. vim9-mix There is one way to use both legacy and Vim9 syntax in one script file: > " comments may go here if !has('vim9script') " legacy script commands go here finish endif vim9script # Vim9 script commands go here This allows for writing a script that takes advantage of the Vim9 script syntax if possible, but will also work on a Vim version without it. This can only work in two ways: 1. The "if" statement evaluates to false, the commands up to `endif` are skipped and `vim9script` is then the first command actually executed. 2. The "if" statement evaluates to true, the commands up to `endif` are executed and `finish` bails out before reaching `vim9script`. TODO: The "vim9script" feature does not exist yet, it will only be added once the Vim9 script syntax has been fully implemented. Export ~ :export :exp Exporting an item can be written as: > export const EXPORTED_CONST = 1234 export var someValue = ... export final someValue = ... export const someValue = ... export def MyFunc() ... export class MyClass ... As this suggests, only constants, variables, `:def` functions and classes can be exported. {not implemented yet: export class} E1042 `:export` can only be used in Vim9 script, at the script level. Import ~ :import :imp E1094 The exported items can be imported individually in another Vim9 script: > import EXPORTED_CONST from "thatscript.vim" import MyClass from "myclass.vim" To import multiple items at the same time: > import {someValue, MyClass} from "thatscript.vim" In case the name is ambiguous, another name can be specified: > import MyClass as ThatClass from "myclass.vim" import {someValue, MyClass as ThatClass} from "myclass.vim" To import all exported items under a specific identifier: > import * as That from 'thatscript.vim' {not implemented yet: using "This as That"} Then you can use "That.EXPORTED_CONST", "That.someValue", etc. You are free to choose the name "That", but it is highly recommended to use the name of the script file to avoid confusion. `:import` can also be used in legacy Vim script. The imported items still become script-local, even when the "s:" prefix is not given. The script name after `import` can be: - A relative path, starting "." or "..". This finds a file relative to the location of the script file itself. This is useful to split up a large plugin into several files. - An absolute path, starting with "/" on Unix or "D:/" on MS-Windows. This will rarely be used. - A path not being relative or absolute. This will be found in the "import" subdirectories of 'runtimepath' entries. The name will usually be longer and unique, to avoid loading the wrong file. Once a vim9 script file has been imported, the result is cached and used the next time the same script is imported. It will not be read again. :import-cycle The `import` commands are executed when encountered. If that script (directly or indirectly) imports the current script, then items defined after the `import` won't be processed yet. Therefore cyclic imports can exist, but may result in undefined items. Import in an autoload script ~ For optimal startup speed, loading scripts should be postponed until they are actually needed. A recommended mechanism: 1. In the plugin define user commands, functions and/or mappings that refer to an autoload script. > command -nargs=1 SearchForStuff searchfor#Stuff(<f-args>) < This goes in .../plugin/anyname.vim. "anyname.vim" can be freely chosen. 2. In the autoload script do the actual work. You can import items from other files to split up functionality in appropriate pieces. > vim9script import FilterFunc from "../import/someother.vim" def searchfor#Stuff(arg: string) var filtered = FilterFunc(arg) ... < This goes in .../autoload/searchfor.vim. "searchfor" in the file name must be exactly the same as the prefix for the function name, that is how Vim finds the file. 3. Other functionality, possibly shared between plugins, contains the exported items and any private items. > vim9script var localVar = 'local' export def FilterFunc(arg: string): string ... < This goes in .../import/someother.vim. When compiling a `:def` function and a function in an autoload script is encountered, the script is not loaded until the `:def` function is called. Import in legacy Vim script ~ If an `import` statement is used in legacy Vim script, the script-local "s:" namespace will be used for the imported item, even when "s:" is not specified. ============================================================================== 6. Future work: classes vim9-classes Above "class" was mentioned a few times, but it has not been implemented yet. Most of Vim9 script can be created without this functionality, and since implementing classes is going to be a lot of work, it is left for the future. For now we'll just make sure classes can be added later. Thoughts: - `class` / `endclass`, everything in one file - Class names are always CamelCase - Single constructor - Single inheritance with `class ThisClass extends BaseClass` - `abstract class` - `interface` (Abstract class without any implementation) - `class SomeClass implements SomeInterface` - Generics for class: `class <Tkey, Tentry>` - Generics for function: `def <Tkey> GetLast(key: Tkey)` Again, much of this is from TypeScript. Some things that look like good additions: - Use a class as an interface (like Dart) - Extend a class with methods, using an import (like Dart) An important class that will be provided is "Promise". Since Vim is single threaded, connecting asynchronous operations is a natural way of allowing plugins to do their work without blocking the user. It's a uniform way to invoke callbacks and handle timeouts and errors. ============================================================================== 9. Rationale vim9-rationale The :def command ~ Plugin writers have asked for much faster Vim script. Investigations have shown that keeping the existing semantics of function calls make this close to impossible, because of the overhead involved with calling a function, setting up the local function scope and executing lines. There are many details that need to be handled, such as error messages and exceptions. The need to create a dictionary for a: and l: scopes, the a:000 list and several others add too much overhead that cannot be avoided. Therefore the `:def` method to define a new-style function had to be added, which allows for a function with different semantics. Most things still work as before, but some parts do not. A new way to define a function was considered the best way to separate the legacy style code from Vim9 style code. Using "def" to define a function comes from Python. Other languages use "function" which clashes with legacy Vim script. Type checking ~ When compiling lines of Vim commands into instructions as much as possible should be done at compile time. Postponing it to runtime makes the execution slower and means mistakes are found only later. For example, when encountering the "+" character and compiling this into a generic add instruction, at runtime the instruction would have to inspect the type of the arguments and decide what kind of addition to do. And when the type is dictionary throw an error. If the types are known to be numbers then an "add number" instruction can be used, which is faster. The error can be given at compile time, no error handling is needed at runtime, since adding two numbers cannot fail. The syntax for types, using <type> for compound types, is similar to Java. It is easy to understand and widely used. The type names are what were used in Vim before, with some additions such as "void" and "bool". Removing clutter and weirdness ~ Once decided that `:def` functions have different syntax than legacy functions, we are free to add improvements to make the code more familiar for users who know popular programming languages. In other words: remove weird things that only Vim does. We can also remove clutter, mainly things that were done to make Vim script backwards compatible with the good old Vi commands. Examples: - Drop `:call` for calling a function and `:eval` for manipulating data. - Drop using a leading backslash for line continuation, automatically figure out where an expression ends. However, this does require that some things need to change: - Comments start with # instead of ", to avoid confusing them with strings. This is good anyway, it is known from several popular languages. - Ex command ranges need to be prefixed with a colon, to avoid confusion with expressions (single quote can be a string or a mark, "/" can be divide or a search command, etc.). Goal is to limit the differences. A good criteria is that when the old syntax is accidentally used you are very likely to get an error message. Syntax and semantics from popular languages ~ Script writers have complained that the Vim script syntax is unexpectedly different from what they are used to. To reduce this complaint popular languages are used as an example. At the same time, we do not want to abandon the well-known parts of legacy Vim script. For many things TypeScript is followed. It's a recent language that is gaining popularity and has similarities with Vim script. It also has a mix of static typing (a variable always has a known value type) and dynamic typing (a variable can have different types, this changes at runtime). Since legacy Vim script is dynamically typed and a lot of existing functionality (esp. builtin functions) depends on that, while static typing allows for much faster execution, we need to have this mix in Vim9 script. There is no intention to completely match TypeScript syntax and semantics. We just want to take those parts that we can use for Vim and we expect Vim users will be happy with. TypeScript is a complex language with its own history, advantages and disadvantages. To get an idea of the disadvantages read the book: "JavaScript: The Good Parts". Or find the article "TypeScript: the good parts" and read the "Things to avoid" section. People familiar with other languages (Java, Python, etc.) will also find things in TypeScript that they do not like or do not understand. We'll try to avoid those things. Specific items from TypeScript we avoid: - Overloading "+", using it both for addition and string concatenation. This goes against legacy Vim script and often leads to mistakes. For that reason we will keep using ".." for string concatenation. Lua also uses ".." this way. And it allows for conversion to string for more values. - TypeScript can use an expression like "99 \|\| 'yes'" in a condition, but cannot assign the value to a boolean. That is inconsistent and can be annoying. Vim recognizes an expression with && or \|\| and allows using the result as a bool. TODO: to be reconsidered - TypeScript considers an empty string as Falsy, but an empty list or dict as Truthy. That is inconsistent. In Vim an empty list and dict are also Falsy. - TypeScript has various "Readonly" types, which have limited usefulness, since a type cast can remove the immutable nature. Vim locks the value, which is more flexible, but is only checked at runtime. Declarations ~ Legacy Vim script uses `:let` for every assignment, while in Vim9 declarations are used. That is different, thus it's good to use a different command: `:var`. This is used in many languages. The semantics might be slightly different, but it's easily recognized as a declaration. Using `:const` for constants is common, but the semantics varies. Some languages only make the variable immutable, others also make the value immutable. Since "final" is well known from Java for only making the variable immutable we decided to use that. And then `:const` can be used for making both immutable. This was also used in legacy Vim script and the meaning is almost the same. What we end up with is very similar to Dart: > :var name # mutable variable and value :final name # immutable variable, mutable value :const name # immutable variable and value Since legacy and Vim9 script will be mixed and global variables will be shared, optional type checking is desirable. Also, type inference will avoid the need for specifying the type in many cases. The TypeScript syntax fits best for adding types to declarations: > var name: string # string type is specified ... name = 'John' const greeting = 'hello' # string type is inferred This is how we put types in a declaration: > var mylist: list<string> final mylist: list<string> = ['foo'] def Func(arg1: number, arg2: string): bool Two alternatives were considered: 1. Put the type before the name, like Dart: > var list<string> mylist final list<string> mylist = ['foo'] def Func(number arg1, string arg2) bool 2. Put the type after the variable name, but do not use a colon, like Go: > var mylist list<string> final mylist list<string> = ['foo'] def Func(arg1 number, arg2 string) bool The first is more familiar for anyone used to C or Java. The second one doesn't really have an advantage over the first, so let's discard the second. Since we use type inference the type can be left out when it can be inferred from the value. This means that after `var` we don't know if a type or a name follows. That makes parsing harder, not only for Vim but also for humans. Also, it will not be allowed to use a variable name that could be a type name, using `var string string` is too confusing. The chosen syntax, using a colon to separate the name from the type, adds punctuation, but it actually makes it easier to recognize the parts of a declaration. Expressions ~ Expression evaluation was already close to what other languages are doing. Some details are unexpected and can be improved. For example a boolean condition would accept a string, convert it to a number and check if the number is non-zero. This is unexpected and often leads to mistakes, since text not starting with a number would be converted to zero, which is considered false. Thus using a string for a condition would often not give an error and be considered false. That is confusing. In Vim9 type checking is stricter to avoid mistakes. Where a condition is used, e.g. with the `:if` command and the `\|\|` operator, only boolean-like values are accepted: true: `true`, `v:true`, `1`, `0 < 9` false: `false`, `v:false`, `0`, `0 > 9` Note that the number zero is false and the number one is true. This is more permissive than most other languages. It was done because many builtin functions return these values. If you have any type of value and want to use it as a boolean, use the `!!` operator: true: !`!'text'`, `!![99]`, `!!{'x': 1}`, `!!99` false: `!!''`, `!![]`, `!!{}` From a language like JavaScript we have this handy construct: > GetName() \|\| 'unknown' However, this conflicts with only allowing a boolean for a condition. Therefore the "??" operator was added: > GetName() ?? 'unknown' Here you can explicitly express your intention to use the value as-is and not result in a boolean. This is called the \|falsy-operator\|. Import and Export ~ A problem of legacy Vim script is that by default all functions and variables are global. It is possible to make them script-local, but then they are not available in other scripts. This defies the concept of a package that only exports selected items and keeps the rest local. In Vim9 script a mechanism very similar to the JavaScript import and export mechanism is supported. It is a variant to the existing `:source` command that works like one would expect: - Instead of making everything global by default, everything is script-local, unless exported. - When importing a script the symbols that are imported are explicitly listed, avoiding name conflicts and failures if functionality is added later. - The mechanism allows for writing a big, long script with a very clear API: the exported function(s) and class(es). - By using relative paths loading can be much faster for an import inside of a package, no need to search many directories. - Once an import has been used, it can be cached and loading it again can be avoided. - The Vim-specific use of "s:" to make things script-local can be dropped. When sourcing a Vim9 script from a legacy script, only the items defined globally can be used, not the exported items. Alternatives considered: - All the exported items become available as script-local items. This makes it uncontrollable what items get defined and likely soon leads to trouble. - Use the exported items and make them global. Disadvantage is that it's then not possible to avoid name clashes in the global namespace. - Completely disallow sourcing a Vim9 script, require using `:import`. That makes it difficult to use scripts for testing, or sourcing them from the command line to try them out. Note that you can also use `:import` in legacy Vim script, see above. Compiling functions early ~ Functions are compiled when called or when `:defcompile` is used. Why not compile them early, so that syntax and type errors are reported early? The functions can't be compiled right away when encountered, because there may be forward references to functions defined later. Consider defining functions A, B and C, where A calls B, B calls C, and C calls A again. It's impossible to reorder the functions to avoid forward references. An alternative would be to first scan through the file to locate items and figure out their type, so that forward references are found, and only then execute the script and compile the functions. This means the script has to be parsed twice, which is slower, and some conditions at the script level, such as checking if a feature is supported, are hard to use. An attempt was made to see if it works, but it turned out to be impossible to make work nicely. It would be possible to compile all the functions at the end of the script. The drawback is that if a function never gets called, the overhead of compiling it counts anyway. Since startup speed is very important, in most cases it's better to do it later and accept that syntax and type errors are only reported then. In case these errors should be found early, e.g. when testing, the `:defcompile` command will help out. Why not use an embedded language? ~ Vim supports interfaces to Perl, Python, Lua, Tcl and a few others. But these interfaces have never become widely used, for various reasons. When Vim9 was designed a decision was made to make these interfaces lower priority and concentrate on Vim script. Still, plugin writers may find other languages more familiar, want to use existing libraries or see a performance benefit. We encourage plugin authors to write code in any language and run it as an external tool, using jobs and channels. We can try to make this easier somehow. Using an external tool also has disadvantages. An alternative is to convert the tool into Vim script. For that to be possible without too much translation, and keeping the code fast at the same time, the constructs of the tool need to be supported. Since most languages support classes the lack of support for classes in Vim is then a problem. Classes ~ Vim supports a kind-of object oriented programming by adding methods to a dictionary. With some care this can be made to work, but it does not look like real classes. On top of that, it's quite slow, because of the use of dictionaries. The support of classes in Vim9 script is a "minimal common functionality" of class support in most languages. It works much like Java, which is the most popular programming language. vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	55.82 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
📄 visual.txt visual.txt For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2019 Nov 02 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Visual mode Visual Visual-mode visual-mode Visual mode is a flexible and easy way to select a piece of text for an operator. It is the only way to select a block of text. This is introduced in section \|04.4\| of the user manual. 1. Using Visual mode \|visual-use\| 2. Starting and stopping Visual mode \|visual-start\| 3. Changing the Visual area \|visual-change\| 4. Operating on the Visual area \|visual-operators\| 5. Blockwise operators \|blockwise-operators\| 6. Repeating \|visual-repeat\| 7. Examples \|visual-examples\| 8. Select mode \|Select-mode\| {Since Vim 7.4.200 the \|+visual\| feature is always included} ============================================================================== 1. Using Visual mode visual-use Using Visual mode consists of three parts: 1. Mark the start of the text with "v", "V" or CTRL-V. The character under the cursor will be used as the start. 2. Move to the end of the text. The text from the start of the Visual mode up to and including the character under the cursor is highlighted. 3. Type an operator command. The highlighted characters will be operated upon. The 'highlight' option can be used to set the display mode to use for highlighting in Visual mode. The 'virtualedit' option can be used to allow positioning the cursor to positions where there is no actual character. The highlighted text normally includes the character under the cursor. However, when the 'selection' option is set to "exclusive" and the cursor is after the Visual area, the character under the cursor is not included. With "v" the text before the start position and after the end position will not be highlighted. However, all uppercase and non-alpha operators, except "~" and "U", will work on whole lines anyway. See the list of operators below. visual-block With CTRL-V (blockwise Visual mode) the highlighted text will be a rectangle between start position and the cursor. However, some operators work on whole lines anyway (see the list below). The change and substitute operators will delete the highlighted text and then start insertion at the top left position. ============================================================================== 2. Starting and stopping Visual mode visual-start v characterwise-visual [count]v Start Visual mode per character. With [count] select the same number of characters or lines as used for the last Visual operation, but at the current cursor position, multiplied by [count]. When the previous Visual operation was on a block both the width and height of the block are multiplied by [count]. When there was no previous Visual operation [count] characters are selected. This is like moving the cursor right N * [count] characters. One less when 'selection' is not "exclusive". V linewise-visual [count]V Start Visual mode linewise. With [count] select the same number of lines as used for the last Visual operation, but at the current cursor position, multiplied by [count]. When there was no previous Visual operation [count] lines are selected. CTRL-V blockwise-visual [count]CTRL-V Start Visual mode blockwise. Note: Under Windows CTRL-V could be mapped to paste text, it doesn't work to start Visual mode then, see \|CTRL-V-alternative\|. [count] is used as with `v` above. If you use <Esc>, click the left mouse button or use any command that does a jump to another buffer while in Visual mode, the highlighting stops and no text is affected. Also when you hit "v" in characterwise Visual mode, "CTRL-V" in blockwise Visual mode or "V" in linewise Visual mode. If you hit CTRL-Z the highlighting stops and the editor is suspended or a new shell is started \|CTRL-Z\|. new mode after typing: v_v v_CTRL-V v_V old mode "v" "CTRL-V" "V" ~ Normal Visual blockwise Visual linewise Visual Visual Normal blockwise Visual linewise Visual blockwise Visual Visual Normal linewise Visual linewise Visual Visual blockwise Visual Normal gv v_gv reselect-Visual gv Start Visual mode with the same area as the previous area and the same mode. In Visual mode the current and the previous Visual area are exchanged. After using "p" or "P" in Visual mode the text that was put will be selected. gn v_gn gn Search forward for the last used search pattern, like with `n`, and start Visual mode to select the match. If the cursor is on the match, visually selects it. If an operator is pending, operates on the match. E.g., "dgn" deletes the text of the next match. If Visual mode is active, extends the selection until the end of the next match. 'wrapscan' applies Note: Unlike `n` the search direction does not depend on the previous search command. gN v_gN gN Like \|gn\| but searches backward, like with `N`. <LeftMouse> <LeftMouse> Set the current cursor position. If Visual mode is active it is stopped. Only when 'mouse' option contains 'n' or 'a'. If the position is within 'so' lines from the last line on the screen the text is scrolled up. If the position is within 'so' lines from the first line on the screen the text is scrolled down. <RightMouse> <RightMouse> Start Visual mode if it is not active. The text from the cursor position to the position of the click is highlighted. If Visual mode was already active move the start or end of the highlighted text, whichever is closest, to the position of the click. Only when 'mouse' option contains 'n' or 'a'. Note: when 'mousemodel' is set to "popup", <S-LeftMouse> has to be used instead of <RightMouse>. <LeftRelease> <LeftRelease> This works like a <LeftMouse>, if it is not at the same position as <LeftMouse>. In an older version of xterm you won't see the selected area until the button is released, unless there is access to the display where the xterm is running (via the DISPLAY environment variable or the -display argument). Only when 'mouse' option contains 'n' or 'a'. If Visual mode is not active and the "v", "V" or CTRL-V is preceded with a count, the size of the previously highlighted area is used for a start. You can then move the end of the highlighted area and give an operator. The type of the old area is used (character, line or blockwise). - Linewise Visual mode: The number of lines is multiplied with the count. - Blockwise Visual mode: The number of lines and columns is multiplied with the count. - Normal Visual mode within one line: The number of characters is multiplied with the count. - Normal Visual mode with several lines: The number of lines is multiplied with the count, in the last line the same number of characters is used as in the last line in the previously highlighted area. The start of the text is the Cursor position. If the "$" command was used as one of the last commands to extend the highlighted text, the area will be extended to the rightmost column of the longest line. If you want to highlight exactly the same area as the last time, you can use "gv" \|gv\| \|v_gv\|. v_<Esc> <Esc> In Visual mode: Stop Visual mode. v_CTRL-C CTRL-C In Visual mode: Stop Visual mode. When insert mode is pending (the mode message shows "-- (insert) VISUAL --"), it is also stopped. ============================================================================== 3. Changing the Visual area visual-change v_o o Go to Other end of highlighted text: The current cursor position becomes the start of the highlighted text and the cursor is moved to the other end of the highlighted text. The highlighted area remains the same. v_O O Go to Other end of highlighted text. This is like "o", but in Visual block mode the cursor moves to the other corner in the same line. When the corner is at a character that occupies more than one position on the screen (e.g., a <Tab>), the highlighted text may change. v_$ When the "$" command is used with blockwise Visual mode, the right end of the highlighted text will be determined by the longest highlighted line. This stops when a motion command is used that does not move straight up or down. For moving the end of the block many commands can be used, but you cannot use Ex commands, commands that make changes or abandon the file. Commands (starting with) ".", "&", CTRL-^, "Z", CTRL-], CTRL-T, CTRL-R, CTRL-I and CTRL-O cause a beep and Visual mode continues. When switching to another window on the same buffer, the cursor position in that window is adjusted, so that the same Visual area is still selected. This is especially useful to view the start of the Visual area in one window, and the end in another. You can then use <RightMouse> (or <S-LeftMouse> when 'mousemodel' is "popup") to drag either end of the Visual area. ============================================================================== 4. Operating on the Visual area visual-operators The operators that can be used are: ~ switch case \|v_~\| d delete \|v_d\| c change (4) \|v_c\| y yank \|v_y\| > shift right (4) \|v_>\| < shift left (4) \|v_<\| ! filter through external command (1) \|v_!\| = filter through 'equalprg' option command (1) \|v_=\| gq format lines to 'textwidth' length (1) \|v_gq\| The objects that can be used are: aw a word (with white space) \|v_aw\| iw inner word \|v_iw\| aW a WORD (with white space) \|v_aW\| iW inner WORD \|v_iW\| as a sentence (with white space) \|v_as\| is inner sentence \|v_is\| ap a paragraph (with white space) \|v_ap\| ip inner paragraph \|v_ip\| ab a () block (with parentheses) \|v_ab\| ib inner () block \|v_ib\| aB a {} block (with braces) \|v_aB\| iB inner {} block \|v_iB\| at a <tag> </tag> block (with tags) \|v_at\| it inner <tag> </tag> block \|v_it\| a< a <> block (with <>) \|v_a<\| i< inner <> block \|v_i<\| a[ a [] block (with []) \|v_a[\| i[ inner [] block \|v_i[\| a" a double quoted string (with quotes) \|v_aquote\| i" inner double quoted string \|v_iquote\| a' a single quoted string (with quotes) \|v_a'\| i' inner simple quoted string \|v_i'\| a` a string in backticks (with backticks) \|v_a`\| i` inner string in backticks \|v_i`\| Additionally the following commands can be used: : start Ex command for highlighted lines (1) \|v_:\| r change (4) \|v_r\| s change \|v_s\| C change (2)(4) \|v_C\| S change (2) \|v_S\| R change (2) \|v_R\| x delete \|v_x\| D delete (3) \|v_D\| X delete (2) \|v_X\| Y yank (2) \|v_Y\| p put \|v_p\| J join (1) \|v_J\| U make uppercase \|v_U\| u make lowercase \|v_u\| ^] find tag \|v_CTRL-]\| I block insert \|v_b_I\| A block append \|v_b_A\| (1): Always whole lines, see \|:visual_example\|. (2): Whole lines when not using CTRL-V. (3): Whole lines when not using CTRL-V, delete until the end of the line when using CTRL-V. (4): When using CTRL-V operates on the block only. Note that the ":vmap" command can be used to specifically map keys in Visual mode. For example, if you would like the "/" command not to extend the Visual area, but instead take the highlighted text and search for that: > :vmap / y/<C-R>"<CR> (In the <> notation \|<>\|, when typing it you should type it literally; you need to remove the 'B' and '<' flags from 'cpoptions'.) If you want to give a register name using the """ command, do this just before typing the operator character: "v{move-around}"xd". If you want to give a count to the command, do this just before typing the operator character: "v{move-around}3>" (move lines 3 indents to the right). {move-around} The {move-around} is any sequence of movement commands. Note the difference with {motion}, which is only ONE movement command. Another way to operate on the Visual area is using the \|/\%V\| item in a pattern. For example, to replace all '(' in the Visual area with '#': > :'<,'>s/\%V(/#/g Note that the "'<,'>" will appear automatically when you press ":" in Visual mode. ============================================================================== 5. Blockwise operators blockwise-operators Reminder: Use 'virtualedit' to be able to select blocks that start or end after the end of a line or halfway a tab. Visual-block Insert v_b_I With a blockwise selection, I{string}<ESC> will insert {string} at the start of block on every line of the block, provided that the line extends into the block. Thus lines that are short will remain unmodified. TABs are split to retain visual columns. Works only for adding text to a line, not for deletions. See \|v_b_I_example\|. Visual-block Append v_b_A With a blockwise selection, A{string}<ESC> will append {string} to the end of block on every line of the block. There is some differing behavior where the block RHS is not straight, due to different line lengths: 1. Block was created with <C-v>$ In this case the string is appended to the end of each line. 2. Block was created with <C-v>{move-around} In this case the string is appended to the end of the block on each line, and whitespace is inserted to pad to the end-of-block column. See \|v_b_A_example\|. Note: "I" and "A" behave differently for lines that don't extend into the selected block. This was done intentionally, so that you can do it the way you want. Works only for adding text to a line, not for deletions. Visual-block change v_b_c All selected text in the block will be replaced by the same text string. When using "c" the selected text is deleted and Insert mode started. You can then enter text (without a line break). When you hit <Esc>, the same string is inserted in all previously selected lines. Visual-block Change v_b_C Like using "c", but the selection is extended until the end of the line for all lines. v_b_< Visual-block Shift v_b_> The block is shifted by 'shiftwidth'. The RHS of the block is irrelevant. The LHS of the block determines the point from which to apply a right shift, and padding includes TABs optimally according to 'ts' and 'et'. The LHS of the block determines the point up to which to shift left. See \|v_b_>_example\|. See \|v_b_<_example\|. Visual-block Replace v_b_r Every screen char in the highlighted region is replaced with the same char, ie TABs are split and the virtual whitespace is replaced, maintaining screen layout. See \|v_b_r_example\|. ============================================================================== 6. Repeating visual-repeat When repeating a Visual mode operator, the operator will be applied to the same amount of text as the last time: - Linewise Visual mode: The same number of lines. - Blockwise Visual mode: The same number of lines and columns. - Normal Visual mode within one line: The same number of characters. - Normal Visual mode with several lines: The same number of lines, in the last line the same number of characters as in the last line the last time. The start of the text is the Cursor position. If the "$" command was used as one of the last commands to extend the highlighted text, the repeating will be applied up to the rightmost column of the longest line. ============================================================================== 7. Examples visual-examples :visual_example Currently the ":" command works on whole lines only. When you select part of a line, doing something like ":!date" will replace the whole line. If you want only part of the line to be replaced you will have to make a mapping for it. In a future release ":" may work on partial lines. Here is an example, to replace the selected text with the output of "date": > :vmap _a <Esc>`>a<CR><Esc>`<i<CR><Esc>!!date<CR>kJJ (In the <> notation \|<>\|, when typing it you should type it literally; you need to remove the 'B' and '<' flags from 'cpoptions') What this does is: <Esc> stop Visual mode `> go to the end of the Visual area a<CR><Esc> break the line after the Visual area `< jump to the start of the Visual area i<CR><Esc> break the line before the Visual area !!date<CR> filter the Visual text through date kJJ Join the lines back together visual-search Here is an idea for a mapping that makes it possible to do a search for the selected text: > :vmap X y/<C-R>"<CR> (In the <> notation \|<>\|, when typing it you should type it literally; you need to remove the 'B' and '<' flags from 'cpoptions') Note that special characters (like '.' and '') will cause problems. Visual-block Examples blockwise-examples* With the following text, I will indicate the commands to produce the block and the results below. In all cases, the cursor begins on the 'a' in the first line of the test text. The following modeline settings are assumed ":ts=8:sw=4:". It will be helpful to :set hls /<TAB> where <TAB> is a real TAB. This helps visualise the operations. The test text is: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abc defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdef ghi jklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1. fo<C-v>3jISTRING<ESC> v_b_I_example abcdefghijklmnSTRINGopqrstuvwxyz abc STRING defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdef ghi STRING jklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnSTRINGopqrstuvwxyz 2. fo<C-v>3j$ASTRING<ESC> v_b_A_example abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzSTRING abc defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzSTRING abcdef ghi jklmnopqrstuvwxyzSTRING abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzSTRING 3. fo<C-v>3j3l<.. v_b_<_example abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abc defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdef ghi jklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 4. fo<C-v>3j>.. v_b_>_example abcdefghijklmn opqrstuvwxyz abc defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdef ghi jklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmn opqrstuvwxyz 5. fo<C-v>5l3jrX v_b_r_example abcdefghijklmnXXXXXXuvwxyz abc XXXXXXhijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdef ghi XXXXXX jklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnXXXXXXuvwxyz ============================================================================== 8. Select mode Select Select-mode Select mode looks like Visual mode, but the commands accepted are quite different. This resembles the selection mode in Microsoft Windows. When the 'showmode' option is set, "-- SELECT --" is shown in the last line. Entering Select mode: - Using the mouse to select an area, and 'selectmode' contains "mouse". 'mouse' must also contain a flag for the current mode. - Using a non-printable movement command, with the Shift key pressed, and 'selectmode' contains "key". For example: <S-Left> and <S-End>. 'keymodel' must also contain "startsel". - Using "v", "V" or CTRL-V command, and 'selectmode' contains "cmd". - Using "gh", "gH" or "g_CTRL-H" command in Normal mode. - From Visual mode, press CTRL-G. v_CTRL-G Commands in Select mode: - Printable characters, <NL> and <CR> cause the selection to be deleted, and Vim enters Insert mode. The typed character is inserted. - Non-printable movement commands, with the Shift key pressed, extend the selection. 'keymodel' must include "startsel". - Non-printable movement commands, with the Shift key NOT pressed, stop Select mode. 'keymodel' must include "stopsel". - ESC stops Select mode. - CTRL-O switches to Visual mode for the duration of one command. v_CTRL-O - CTRL-G switches to Visual mode. Otherwise, typed characters are handled as in Visual mode. When using an operator in Select mode, and the selection is linewise, the selected lines are operated upon, but like in characterwise selection. For example, when a whole line is deleted, it can later be pasted halfway a line. Mappings and menus in Select mode. Select-mode-mapping When mappings and menus are defined with the \|:vmap\| or \|:vmenu\| command they work both in Visual mode and in Select mode. When these are used in Select mode Vim automatically switches to Visual mode, so that the same behavior as in Visual mode is effective. If you don't want this use \|:xmap\| or \|:smap\|. Users will expect printable characters to replace the selected area. Therefore avoid mapping printable characters in Select mode. Or use \|:sunmap\| after \|:map\| and \|:vmap\| to remove it for Select mode. After the mapping or menu finishes, the selection is enabled again and Select mode entered, unless the selected area was deleted, another buffer became the current one or the window layout was changed. When a character was typed that causes the selection to be deleted and Insert mode started, Insert mode mappings are applied to this character. This may cause some confusion, because it means Insert mode mappings apply to a character typed in Select mode. Language mappings apply as well. gV v_gV gV Avoid the automatic reselection of the Visual area after a Select mode mapping or menu has finished. Put this just before the end of the mapping or menu. At least it should be after any operations on the selection. gh gh Start Select mode, characterwise. This is like "v", but starts Select mode instead of Visual mode. Mnemonic: "get highlighted". gH gH Start Select mode, linewise. This is like "V", but starts Select mode instead of Visual mode. Mnemonic: "get Highlighted". g_CTRL-H g CTRL-H Start Select mode, blockwise. This is like CTRL-V, but starts Select mode instead of Visual mode. Mnemonic: "get Highlighted". vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	21.28 KB	2025-11-11 23:24

Additionally, there are explanations for commands that work differently when used in combination with more than one window. The basics are explained in chapter 7 and 8 of the user manual \|usr_07.txt\| \|usr_08.txt\|. 1. Introduction \|windows-intro\| 2. Starting Vim \|windows-starting\| 3.

Special kinds of buffers \|special-buffers\| {not able to use multiple windows when the \|+windows\| feature was disabled at compile time} ============================================================================== 1. Introduction windows-intro window Summary: A buffer is the in-memory text of a file. A window is a viewport on a buffer. A tab page is a collection of windows. A window is a viewport onto a buffer. You can use multiple windows on one buffer, or several windows on different buffers. A buffer is a file loaded into memory for editing. The original file remains unchanged until you write the buffer to the file. A buffer can be in one of three states: active-buffer active: The buffer is displayed in a window. If there is a file for this buffer, it has been read into the buffer. The buffer may have been modified since then and thus be different from the file. hidden-buffer hidden: The buffer is not displayed. If there is a file for this buffer, it has been read into the buffer. Otherwise it's the same as an active buffer, you just can't see it. inactive-buffer inactive: The buffer is not displayed and does not contain anything. Options for the buffer are remembered if the file was once loaded. It can contain marks from the \|viminfo\| file. But the buffer doesn't contain text. In a table: state displayed loaded ":buffers" ~ in window shows ~ active yes yes 'a' hidden no yes 'h' inactive no no ' ' Note: All CTRL-W commands can also be executed with \|:wincmd\|, for those places where a Normal mode command can't be used or is inconvenient. The main Vim window can hold several split windows. There are also tab pages \|tab-page\|, each of which can hold multiple windows. window-ID winid windowid Each window has a unique identifier called the window ID. This identifier will not change within a Vim session. The \|win_getid()\| and \|win_id2tabwin()\| functions can be used to convert between the window/tab number and the identifier. There is also the window number, which may change whenever windows are opened or closed, see \|winnr()\|. The window number is only valid in one specific tab. The window ID is valid across tabs. For most functions that take a window ID or a window number, the window number only applies to the current tab, while the window ID can refer to a window in any tab. Each buffer has a unique number and the number will not change within a Vim session. The \|bufnr()\| and \|bufname()\| functions can be used to convert between a buffer name and the buffer number. ============================================================================== 2. Starting Vim windows-starting By default, Vim starts with one window, just like Vi. The "-o" and "-O" arguments to Vim can be used to open a window for each file in the argument list. The "-o" argument will split the windows horizontally; the "-O" argument will split the windows vertically. If both "-o" and "-O" are given, the last one encountered will be used to determine the split orientation. For example, this will open three windows, split horizontally: > vim -o file1 file2 file3 "-oN", where N is a decimal number, opens N windows split horizontally. If there are more file names than windows, only N windows are opened and some files do not get a window. If there are more windows than file names, the last few windows will be editing empty buffers. Similarly, "-ON" opens N windows split vertically, with the same restrictions. If there are many file names, the windows will become very small. You might want to set the 'winheight' and/or 'winwidth' options to create a workable situation. Buf/Win Enter/Leave \|autocommand\|s are not executed when opening the new windows and reading the files, that's only done when they are really entered. status-line A status line will be used to separate windows. The 'laststatus' option tells when the last window also has a status line: 'laststatus' = 0 never a status line 'laststatus' = 1 status line if there is more than one window 'laststatus' = 2 always a status line You can change the contents of the status line with the 'statusline' option. This option can be local to the window, so that you can have a different status line in each window. Normally, inversion is used to display the status line. This can be changed with the 's' character in the 'highlight' option. For example, "sb" sets it to bold characters. If no highlighting is used for the status line ("sn"), the '^' character is used for the current window, and '=' for other windows. If the mouse is supported and enabled with the 'mouse' option, a status line can be dragged to resize windows. Note: If you expect your status line to be in reverse video and it isn't, check if the 'highlight' option contains "si". In version 3.0, this meant to invert the status line. Now it should be "sr", reverse the status line, as "si" now stands for italic! If italic is not available on your terminal, the status line is inverted anyway; you will only see this problem on terminals that have termcap codes for italics. filler-lines The lines after the last buffer line in a window are called filler lines. By default, these lines start with a tilde (~) character. The 'eob' item in the 'fillchars' option can be used to change this character. By default, these characters are highlighted as NonText (\|hl-NonText\|). The EndOfBuffer highlight group (\|hl-EndOfBuffer\|) can be used to change the highlighting of the filler characters. ============================================================================== 3. Opening and closing a window opening-window E36 CTRL-W s CTRL-W_s CTRL-W S CTRL-W_S CTRL-W CTRL-S CTRL-W_CTRL-S :[N]sp[lit] [++opt] [+cmd] [file] :sp :split Split current window in two. The result is two viewports on the same file. Make the new window N high (default is to use half the height of the current window). Reduces the current window height to create room (and others, if the 'equalalways' option is set, 'eadirection' isn't "hor", and one of them is higher than the current or the new window). If [file] is given it will be edited in the new window. If it is not loaded in any buffer, it will be read. Else the new window will use the already loaded buffer. Note: CTRL-S does not work on all terminals and might block further input, use CTRL-Q to get going again. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. E242 Be careful when splitting a window in an autocommand, it may mess up the window layout if this happens while making other window layout changes. CTRL-W CTRL-V CTRL-W_CTRL-V CTRL-W v CTRL-W_v :[N]vs[plit] [++opt] [+cmd] [file] :vs :vsplit Like \|:split\|, but split vertically. The windows will be spread out horizontally if 1. a width was not specified, 2. 'equalalways' is set, 3. 'eadirection' isn't "ver", and 4. one of the other windows is wider than the current or new window. Note: In other places CTRL-Q does the same as CTRL-V, but here it doesn't! CTRL-W n CTRL-W_n CTRL-W CTRL_N CTRL-W_CTRL-N :[N]new [++opt] [+cmd] :new Create a new window and start editing an empty file in it. Make new window N high (default is to use half the existing height). Reduces the current window height to create room (and others, if the 'equalalways' option is set and 'eadirection' isn't "hor"). Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. If 'fileformats' is not empty, the first format given will be used for the new buffer. If 'fileformats' is empty, the 'fileformat' of the current buffer is used. This can be overridden with the \|++opt\| argument. Autocommands are executed in this order: 1. WinLeave for the current window 2. WinEnter for the new window 3. BufLeave for the current buffer 4. BufEnter for the new buffer This behaves like a ":split" first, and then an ":enew" command. :[N]new [++opt] [+cmd] {file} :[N]sp[lit] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} :split_f Create a new window and start editing file {file} in it. This behaves almost like a ":split" first, and then an ":edit" command, but the alternate file name in the original window is set to {file}. If [+cmd] is given, execute the command when the file has been loaded \|+cmd\|. Also see \|++opt\|. Make new window N high (default is to use half the existing height). Reduces the current window height to create room (and others, if the 'equalalways' option is set). :[N]vne[w] [++opt] [+cmd] [file] :vne :vnew Like \|:new\|, but split vertically. If 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' isn't "ver" the windows will be spread out horizontally, unless a width was specified. :[N]sv[iew] [++opt] [+cmd] [file] :sv :sview splitview Same as ":split", but set 'readonly' option for this buffer. :[N]sf[ind] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} :sf :sfi :sfind splitfind Same as ":split", but search for {file} in 'path' like in \|:find\|. Doesn't split if {file} is not found. CTRL-W CTRL-^ CTRL-W_CTRL-^ CTRL-W_^ CTRL-W ^ Split the current window in two and edit the alternate file. When a count N is given, split the current window and edit buffer N. Similar to ":sp #" and ":sp #N", but it allows the other buffer to be unnamed. This command matches the behavior of \|CTRL-^\|, except that it splits a window first. CTRL-W_: CTRL-W : Does the same as typing \|:\| - enter a command line. Useful in a terminal window, where all Vim commands must be preceded with CTRL-W or 'termwinkey'. Note that the 'splitbelow' and 'splitright' options influence where a new window will appear. :vert :vertical :vert[ical] {cmd} Execute {cmd}. If it contains a command that splits a window, it will be split vertically. Doesn't work for \|:execute\| and \|:normal\|. :lefta[bove] {cmd} :lefta :leftabove :abo[veleft] {cmd} :abo :aboveleft Execute {cmd}. If it contains a command that splits a window, it will be opened left (vertical split) or above (horizontal split) the current window. Overrules 'splitbelow' and 'splitright'. Doesn't work for \|:execute\| and \|:normal\|. :rightb[elow] {cmd} :rightb :rightbelow :bel[owright] {cmd} :bel :belowright Execute {cmd}. If it contains a command that splits a window, it will be opened right (vertical split) or below (horizontal split) the current window. Overrules 'splitbelow' and 'splitright'. Doesn't work for \|:execute\| and \|:normal\|. :topleft E442 :to[pleft] {cmd} Execute {cmd}. If it contains a command that splits a window, it will appear at the top and occupy the full width of the Vim window. When the split is vertical the window appears at the far left and occupies the full height of the Vim window. Doesn't work for \|:execute\| and \|:normal\|. :bo :botright :bo[tright] {cmd} Execute {cmd}. If it contains a command that splits a window, it will appear at the bottom and occupy the full width of the Vim window. When the split is vertical the window appears at the far right and occupies the full height of the Vim window. Doesn't work for \|:execute\| and \|:normal\|. These command modifiers can be combined to make a vertically split window occupy the full height. Example: > :vertical topleft split tags Opens a vertically split, full-height window on the "tags" file at the far left of the Vim window. Closing a window ---------------- :q[uit] :{count}q[uit] CTRL-W q CTRL-W_q CTRL-W CTRL-Q CTRL-W_CTRL-Q Without {count}: Quit the current window. If {count} is given quit the {count} window. edit-window When quitting the last edit window (not counting help or preview windows), exit Vim. When 'hidden' is set, and there is only one window for the current buffer, it becomes hidden. When 'hidden' is not set, and there is only one window for the current buffer, and the buffer was changed, the command fails. (Note: CTRL-Q does not work on all terminals). If [count] is greater than the last window number the last window will be closed: > :1quit " quit the first window :$quit " quit the last window :9quit " quit the last window " if there are fewer than 9 windows opened :-quit " quit the previous window :+quit " quit the next window :+2quit " quit the second next window < When closing a help window, and this is not the only window, Vim will try to restore the previous window layout, see \|:helpclose\|. :q[uit]! :{count}q[uit]! Without {count}: Quit the current window. If {count} is given quit the {count} window. If this was the last window for a buffer, any changes to that buffer are lost. When quitting the last window (not counting help windows), exit Vim. The contents of the buffer are lost, even when 'hidden' is set. :clo[se][!] :{count}clo[se][!] CTRL-W c CTRL-W_c :clo :close Without {count}: Close the current window. If {count} is given close the {count} window. When the 'hidden' option is set, or when the buffer was changed and the [!] is used, the buffer becomes hidden (unless there is another window editing it). When there is only one \|edit-window\| in the current tab page and there is another tab page, this closes the current tab page. \|tab-page\|. This command fails when: E444 - There is only one window on the screen. - When 'hidden' is not set, [!] is not used, the buffer has changes, and there is no other window on this buffer. Changes to the buffer are not written and won't get lost, so this is a "safe" command. CTRL-W CTRL-C CTRL-W_CTRL-C You might have expected that CTRL-W CTRL-C closes the current window, but that does not work, because the CTRL-C cancels the command. :hide :hid[e] :{count}hid[e] Without {count}: Quit the current window, unless it is the last window on the screen. If {count} is given quit the {count} window. The buffer becomes hidden (unless there is another window editing it or 'bufhidden' is "unload", "delete" or "wipe"). If the window is the last one in the current tab page the tab page is closed. \|tab-page\| The value of 'hidden' is irrelevant for this command. Changes to the buffer are not written and won't get lost, so this is a "safe" command. :hid[e] {cmd} Execute {cmd} with 'hidden' is set. The previous value of 'hidden' is restored after {cmd} has been executed. Example: > :hide edit Makefile < This will edit "Makefile", and hide the current buffer if it has any changes. :on[ly][!] :{count}on[ly][!] CTRL-W o CTRL-W_o E445 CTRL-W CTRL-O CTRL-W_CTRL-O :on :only Make the current window the only one on the screen. All other windows are closed. For {count} see \|:quit\| command. When the 'hidden' option is set, all buffers in closed windows become hidden. When 'hidden' is not set, and the 'autowrite' option is set, modified buffers are written. Otherwise, windows that have buffers that are modified are not removed, unless the [!] is given, then they become hidden. But modified buffers are never abandoned, so changes cannot get lost. ============================================================================== 4. Moving cursor to other windows window-move-cursor CTRL-W <Down> CTRL-W_<Down> CTRL-W CTRL-J CTRL-W_CTRL-J CTRL-W_j CTRL-W j Move cursor to Nth window below current one. Uses the cursor position to select between alternatives. CTRL-W <Up> CTRL-W_<Up> CTRL-W CTRL-K CTRL-W_CTRL-K CTRL-W_k CTRL-W k Move cursor to Nth window above current one. Uses the cursor position to select between alternatives. CTRL-W <Left> CTRL-W_<Left> CTRL-W CTRL-H CTRL-W_CTRL-H CTRL-W <BS> CTRL-W_<BS> CTRL-W_h CTRL-W h Move cursor to Nth window left of current one. Uses the cursor position to select between alternatives. CTRL-W <Right> CTRL-W_<Right> CTRL-W CTRL-L CTRL-W_CTRL-L CTRL-W_l CTRL-W l Move cursor to Nth window right of current one. Uses the cursor position to select between alternatives. CTRL-W w CTRL-W_w CTRL-W_CTRL-W CTRL-W CTRL-W Without count: move cursor to window below/right of the current one. If there is no window below or right, go to top-left window. With count: go to Nth window (windows are numbered from top-left to bottom-right). To obtain the window number see \|bufwinnr()\| and \|winnr()\|. When N is larger than the number of windows go to the last window. CTRL-W_W CTRL-W W Without count: move cursor to window above/left of current one. If there is no window above or left, go to bottom-right window. With count: go to Nth window, like with CTRL-W w. CTRL-W t CTRL-W_t CTRL-W_CTRL-T CTRL-W CTRL-T Move cursor to top-left window. CTRL-W b CTRL-W_b CTRL-W_CTRL-B CTRL-W CTRL-B Move cursor to bottom-right window. CTRL-W p CTRL-W_p CTRL-W_CTRL-P CTRL-W CTRL-P Go to previous (last accessed) window. CTRL-W_P E441 CTRL-W P Go to preview window. When there is no preview window this is an error. {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} If Visual mode is active and the new window is not for the same buffer, the Visual mode is ended. If the window is on the same buffer, the cursor position is set to keep the same Visual area selected. :winc :wincmd These commands can also be executed with ":wincmd": :[count]winc[md] {arg} Like executing CTRL-W [count] {arg}. Example: > :wincmd j < Moves to the window below the current one. This command is useful when a Normal mode cannot be used (for the \|CursorHold\| autocommand event). Or when a Normal mode command is inconvenient. The count can also be a window number. Example: > :exe nr . "wincmd w" < This goes to window "nr". ============================================================================== 5. Moving windows around window-moving CTRL-W r CTRL-W_r CTRL-W_CTRL-R E443 CTRL-W CTRL-R Rotate windows downwards/rightwards. The first window becomes the second one, the second one becomes the third one, etc. The last window becomes the first window. The cursor remains in the same window. This only works within the row or column of windows that the current window is in. CTRL-W_R CTRL-W R Rotate windows upwards/leftwards. The second window becomes the first one, the third one becomes the second one, etc. The first window becomes the last window. The cursor remains in the same window. This only works within the row or column of windows that the current window is in. CTRL-W x CTRL-W_x CTRL-W_CTRL-X CTRL-W CTRL-X Without count: Exchange current window with next one. If there is no next window, exchange with previous window. With count: Exchange current window with Nth window (first window is 1). The cursor is put in the other window. When vertical and horizontal window splits are mixed, the exchange is only done in the row or column of windows that the current window is in. The following commands can be used to change the window layout. For example, when there are two vertically split windows, CTRL-W K will change that in horizontally split windows. CTRL-W H does it the other way around. CTRL-W_K CTRL-W K Move the current window to be at the very top, using the full width of the screen. This works like closing the current window and then creating another one with ":topleft split", except that the current window contents is used for the new window. CTRL-W_J CTRL-W J Move the current window to be at the very bottom, using the full width of the screen. This works like closing the current window and then creating another one with ":botright split", except that the current window contents is used for the new window. CTRL-W_H CTRL-W H Move the current window to be at the far left, using the full height of the screen. This works like closing the current window and then creating another one with ":vert topleft split", except that the current window contents is used for the new window. CTRL-W_L CTRL-W L Move the current window to be at the far right, using the full height of the screen. This works like closing the current window and then creating another one with ":vert botright split", except that the current window contents is used for the new window. CTRL-W_T CTRL-W T Move the current window to a new tab page. This fails if there is only one window in the current tab page. When a count is specified the new tab page will be opened before the tab page with this index. Otherwise it comes after the current tab page. ============================================================================== 6. Window resizing window-resize CTRL-W_= CTRL-W = Make all windows (almost) equally high and wide, but use 'winheight' and 'winwidth' for the current window. Windows with 'winfixheight' set keep their height and windows with 'winfixwidth' set keep their width. :res[ize] -N :res :resize CTRL-W_- CTRL-W - Decrease current window height by N (default 1). If used after \|:vertical\|: decrease width by N. :res[ize] +N CTRL-W_+ CTRL-W + Increase current window height by N (default 1). If used after \|:vertical\|: increase width by N. :res[ize] [N] CTRL-W CTRL-_ CTRL-W_CTRL-_ CTRL-W__ CTRL-W _ Set current window height to N (default: highest possible). :{winnr}res[ize] [+-]N Like `:resize` above, but apply the size to window {winnr} instead of the current window. z{nr}<CR> Set current window height to {nr}. CTRL-W_< CTRL-W < Decrease current window width by N (default 1). CTRL-W_> CTRL-W > Increase current window width by N (default 1). :vertical res[ize] [N] :vertical-resize CTRL-W_bar CTRL-W \| Set current window width to N (default: widest possible). You can also resize a window by dragging a status line up or down with the mouse. Or by dragging a vertical separator line left or right. This only works if the version of Vim that is being used supports the mouse and the 'mouse' option has been set to enable it. The option 'winheight' ('wh') is used to set the minimal window height of the current window. This option is used each time another window becomes the current window. If the option is '0', it is disabled. Set 'winheight' to a very large value, e.g., '9999', to make the current window always fill all available space. Set it to a reasonable value, e.g., '10', to make editing in the current window comfortable. The equivalent 'winwidth' ('wiw') option is used to set the minimal width of the current window. When the option 'equalalways' ('ea') is set, all the windows are automatically made the same size after splitting or closing a window. If you don't set this option, splitting a window will reduce the size of the current window and leave the other windows the same. When closing a window, the extra lines are given to the window above it. The 'eadirection' option limits the direction in which the 'equalalways' option is applied. The default "both" resizes in both directions. When the value is "ver" only the heights of windows are equalized. Use this when you have manually resized a vertically split window and want to keep this width. Likewise, "hor" causes only the widths of windows to be equalized. The option 'cmdheight' ('ch') is used to set the height of the command-line. If you are annoyed by the \|hit-enter\| prompt for long messages, set this option to 2 or 3. If there is only one window, resizing that window will also change the command line height. If there are several windows, resizing the current window will also change the height of the window below it (and sometimes the window above it). The minimal height and width of a window is set with 'winminheight' and 'winminwidth'. These are hard values, a window will never become smaller. ============================================================================== 7. Argument and buffer list commands buffer-list args list buffer list meaning ~ 1. :[N]argument [N] 11. :[N]buffer [N] to arg/buf N 2. :[N]next [file ..] 12. :[N]bnext [N] to Nth next arg/buf 3. :[N]Next [N] 13. :[N]bNext [N] to Nth previous arg/buf 4. :[N]previous [N] 14. :[N]bprevious [N] to Nth previous arg/buf 5. :rewind / :first 15. :brewind / :bfirst to first arg/buf 6. :last 16. :blast to last arg/buf 7. :all 17. :ball edit all args/buffers 18. :unhide edit all loaded buffers 19. :[N]bmod [N] to Nth modified buf split & args list split & buffer list meaning ~ 21. :[N]sargument [N] 31. :[N]sbuffer [N] split + to arg/buf N 22. :[N]snext [file ..] 32. :[N]sbnext [N] split + to Nth next arg/buf 23. :[N]sNext [N] 33. :[N]sbNext [N] split + to Nth previous arg/buf 24. :[N]sprevious [N] 34. :[N]sbprevious [N] split + to Nth previous arg/buf 25. :srewind / :sfirst 35. :sbrewind / :sbfirst split + to first arg/buf 26. :slast 36. :sblast split + to last arg/buf 27. :sall 37. :sball edit all args/buffers 38. :sunhide edit all loaded buffers 39. :[N]sbmod [N] split + to Nth modified buf 40. :args list of arguments 41. :buffers list of buffers The meaning of [N] depends on the command: [N] is the number of buffers to go forward/backward on 2/12/22/32, 3/13/23/33, and 4/14/24/34 [N] is an argument number, defaulting to current argument, for 1 and 21 [N] is a buffer number, defaulting to current buffer, for 11 and 31 [N] is a count for 19 and 39 Note: ":next" is an exception, because it must accept a list of file names for compatibility with Vi. The argument list and multiple windows -------------------------------------- The current position in the argument list can be different for each window. Remember that when doing ":e file", the position in the argument list stays the same, but you are not editing the file at that position. To indicate this, the file message (and the title, if you have one) shows "(file (N) of M)", where "(N)" is the current position in the file list, and "M" the number of files in the file list. All the entries in the argument list are added to the buffer list. Thus, you can also get to them with the buffer list commands, like ":bnext". :[N]al[l][!] [N] :al :all :sal :sall :[N]sal[l][!] [N] Rearrange the screen to open one window for each argument. All other windows are closed. When a count is given, this is the maximum number of windows to open. With the \|:tab\| modifier open a tab page for each argument. When there are more arguments than 'tabpagemax' further ones become split windows in the last tab page. When the 'hidden' option is set, all buffers in closed windows become hidden. When 'hidden' is not set, and the 'autowrite' option is set, modified buffers are written. Otherwise, windows that have buffers that are modified are not removed, unless the [!] is given, then they become hidden. But modified buffers are never abandoned, so changes cannot get lost. [N] is the maximum number of windows to open. 'winheight' also limits the number of windows opened ('winwidth' if \|:vertical\| was prepended). Buf/Win Enter/Leave autocommands are not executed for the new windows here, that's only done when they are really entered. If autocommands change the window layout while this command is busy an error will be given. E249 :[N]sa[rgument][!] [++opt] [+cmd] [N] :sa :sargument Short for ":split \| argument [N]": split window and go to Nth argument. But when there is no such argument, the window is not split. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[N]sn[ext][!] [++opt] [+cmd] [file ..] :sn :snext Short for ":split \| [N]next": split window and go to Nth next argument. But when there is no next file, the window is not split. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :[N]spr[evious][!] [++opt] [+cmd] [N] :spr :sprevious :[N]sN[ext][!] [++opt] [+cmd] [N] :sN :sNext Short for ":split \| [N]Next": split window and go to Nth previous argument. But when there is no previous file, the window is not split. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :sre :srewind :sre[wind][!] [++opt] [+cmd] Short for ":split \| rewind": split window and go to first argument. But when there is no argument list, the window is not split. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :sfir :sfirst :sfir[st] [++opt] [+cmd] Same as ":srewind". :sla :slast :sla[st][!] [++opt] [+cmd] Short for ":split \| last": split window and go to last argument. But when there is no argument list, the window is not split. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. :dr :drop :dr[op] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} .. Edit the first {file} in a window. - If the file is already open in a window change to that window. - If the file is not open in a window edit the file in the current window. If the current buffer can't be \|abandon\|ed, the window is split first. - Windows that are not in the argument list or are not full width will be closed if possible. The \|argument-list\| is set, like with the \|:next\| command. The purpose of this command is that it can be used from a program that wants Vim to edit another file, e.g., a debugger. When using the \|:tab\| modifier each argument is opened in a tab page. The last window is used if it's empty. Also see \|++opt\| and \|+cmd\|. ============================================================================== 8. Do a command in all buffers or windows list-repeat :windo :[range]windo {cmd} Execute {cmd} in each window or if [range] is given only in windows for which the window number lies in the [range]. It works like doing this: > CTRL-W t :{cmd} CTRL-W w :{cmd} etc. < This only operates in the current tab page. When an error is detected on one window, further windows will not be visited. The last window (or where an error occurred) becomes the current window. {cmd} can contain '\|' to concatenate several commands. {cmd} must not open or close windows or reorder them. Also see \|:tabdo\|, \|:argdo\|, \|:bufdo\|, \|:cdo\|, \|:ldo\|, \|:cfdo\| and \|:lfdo\| :bufdo :[range]bufdo[!] {cmd} Execute {cmd} in each buffer in the buffer list or if [range] is given only for buffers for which their buffer number is in the [range]. It works like doing this: > :bfirst :{cmd} :bnext :{cmd} etc. < When the current file can't be \|abandon\|ed and the [!] is not present, the command fails. When an error is detected on one buffer, further buffers will not be visited. Unlisted buffers are skipped. The last buffer (or where an error occurred) becomes the current buffer. {cmd} can contain '\|' to concatenate several commands. {cmd} must not delete buffers or add buffers to the buffer list. Note: While this command is executing, the Syntax autocommand event is disabled by adding it to 'eventignore'. This considerably speeds up editing each buffer. Also see \|:tabdo\|, \|:argdo\|, \|:windo\|, \|:cdo\|, \|:ldo\|, \|:cfdo\| and \|:lfdo\| Examples: > :windo set nolist nofoldcolumn \| normal zn This resets the 'list' option and disables folding in all windows. > :bufdo set fileencoding= \| update This resets the 'fileencoding' in each buffer and writes it if this changed the buffer. The result is that all buffers will use the 'encoding' encoding (if conversion works properly). ============================================================================== 9. Tag or file name under the cursor window-tag :sta :stag :sta[g][!] [tagname] Does ":tag[!] [tagname]" and splits the window for the found tag. See also \|:tag\|. CTRL-W ] CTRL-W_] CTRL-W_CTRL-] CTRL-W CTRL-] Split current window in two. Use identifier under cursor as a tag and jump to it in the new upper window. In Visual mode uses the Visually selected text as a tag. Make new window N high. CTRL-W_g] CTRL-W g ] Split current window in two. Use identifier under cursor as a tag and perform ":tselect" on it in the new upper window. In Visual mode uses the Visually selected text as a tag. Make new window N high. CTRL-W_g_CTRL-] CTRL-W g CTRL-] Split current window in two. Use identifier under cursor as a tag and perform ":tjump" on it in the new upper window. In Visual mode uses the Visually selected text as a tag. Make new window N high. CTRL-W f CTRL-W_f CTRL-W_CTRL-F CTRL-W CTRL-F Split current window in two. Edit file name under cursor. Like ":split gf", but window isn't split if the file does not exist. Uses the 'path' variable as a list of directory names where to look for the file. Also the path for current file is used to search for the file name. If the name is a hypertext link that looks like "type://machine/path", only "/path" is used. If a count is given, the count'th matching file is edited. {not available when the \|+file_in_path\| feature was disabled at compile time} CTRL-W F CTRL-W_F Split current window in two. Edit file name under cursor and jump to the line number following the file name. See \|gF\| for details on how the line number is obtained. {not available when the \|+file_in_path\| feature was disabled at compile time} CTRL-W gf CTRL-W_gf Open a new tab page and edit the file name under the cursor. Like "tab split" and "gf", but the new tab page isn't created if the file does not exist. {not available when the \|+file_in_path\| feature was disabled at compile time} CTRL-W gF CTRL-W_gF Open a new tab page and edit the file name under the cursor and jump to the line number following the file name. Like "tab split" and "gF", but the new tab page isn't created if the file does not exist. {not available when the \|+file_in_path\| feature was disabled at compile time} CTRL-W gt CTRL-W_gt Go to next tab page, same as `gt`. CTRL-W gT CTRL-W_gT Go to previous tab page, same as `gT`. Also see \|CTRL-W_CTRL-I\|: open window for an included file that includes the keyword under the cursor. ============================================================================== 10. The preview window preview-window The preview window is a special window to show (preview) another file. It is normally a small window used to show an include file or definition of a function. {not available when compiled without the \|+quickfix\| feature} There can be only one preview window (per tab page). It is created with one of the commands below. The 'previewheight' option can be set to specify the height of the preview window when it's opened. The 'previewwindow' option is set in the preview window to be able to recognize it. The 'winfixheight' option is set to have it keep the same height when opening/closing other windows. preview-popup Alternatively, a popup window can be used by setting the 'previewpopup' option. When set, it overrules the 'previewwindow' and 'previewheight' settings. The option is a comma separated list of values: height maximum height of the popup width maximum width of the popup highlight highlight group of the popup (default is Pmenu) Example: > :set previewpopup=height:10,width:60 A few peculiarities: - If the file is in a buffer already, it will be re-used. This will allow for editing the file while it's visible in the popup window. - No ATTENTION dialog will be used, since you can't edit the file in the popup window. However, if you later open the same buffer in a normal window, you may not notice it's edited elsewhere. And when then using ":edit" to trigger the ATTENTION and responding "A" for Abort, the preview window will become empty. :pta :ptag :pta[g][!] [tagname] Does ":tag[!] [tagname]" and shows the found tag in a "Preview" window without changing the current buffer or cursor position. If a "Preview" window already exists, it is re-used (like a help window is). If a new one is opened, 'previewheight' is used for the height of the window. See also \|:tag\|. See below for an example. \|CursorHold-example\| Small difference from \|:tag\|: When [tagname] is equal to the already displayed tag, the position in the matching tag list is not reset. This makes the CursorHold example work after a \|:ptnext\|. CTRL-W z CTRL-W_z CTRL-W CTRL-Z CTRL-W_CTRL-Z :pc :pclose :pc[lose][!] Close any "Preview" window currently open. When the 'hidden' option is set, or when the buffer was changed and the [!] is used, the buffer becomes hidden (unless there is another window editing it). The command fails if any "Preview" buffer cannot be closed. See also \|:close\|. :pp :ppop :[count]pp[op][!] Does ":[count]pop[!]" in the preview window. See \|:pop\| and \|:ptag\|. CTRL-W } CTRL-W_} Use identifier under cursor as a tag and perform a :ptag on it. Make the new Preview window (if required) N high. If N is not given, 'previewheight' is used. CTRL-W g } CTRL-W_g} Use identifier under cursor as a tag and perform a :ptjump on it. Make the new Preview window (if required) N high. If N is not given, 'previewheight' is used. :ped :pedit :ped[it][!] [++opt] [+cmd] {file} Edit {file} in the preview window. The preview window is opened like with \|:ptag\|. The current window and cursor position isn't changed. Useful example: > :pedit +/fputc /usr/include/stdio.h < :ps :psearch :[range]ps[earch][!] [count] [/]pattern[/] Works like \|:ijump\| but shows the found match in the preview window. The preview window is opened like with \|:ptag\|. The current window and cursor position isn't changed. Useful example: > :psearch popen < Like with the \|:ptag\| command, you can use this to automatically show information about the word under the cursor. This is less clever than using \|:ptag\|, but you don't need a tags file and it will also find matches in system include files. Example: > :au! CursorHold .[ch] ++nested exe "silent! psearch " . expand("<cword>") < Warning: This can be slow. Example CursorHold-example* > :au! CursorHold .[ch] ++nested exe "silent! ptag " . expand("<cword>") This will cause a ":ptag" to be executed for the keyword under the cursor, when the cursor hasn't moved for the time set with 'updatetime'. The "nested" makes other autocommands be executed, so that syntax highlighting works in the preview window. The "silent!" avoids an error message when the tag could not be found. Also see \|CursorHold\|. To disable this again: > :au! CursorHold A nice addition is to highlight the found tag, avoid the ":ptag" when there is no word under the cursor, and a few other things: > :au! CursorHold .[ch] ++nested call PreviewWord() :func PreviewWord() : if &previewwindow " don't do this in the preview window : return : endif : let w = expand("<cword>") " get the word under cursor : if w =~ '\a' " if the word contains a letter : : " Delete any existing highlight before showing another tag : silent! wincmd P " jump to preview window : if &previewwindow " if we really get there... : match none " delete existing highlight : wincmd p " back to old window : endif : : " Try displaying a matching tag for the word under the cursor : try : exe "ptag " . w : catch : return : endtry : : silent! wincmd P " jump to preview window : if &previewwindow " if we really get there... : if has("folding") : silent! .foldopen " don't want a closed fold : endif : call search("$", "b") " to end of previous line : let w = substitute(w, '\\', '\\\\', "") : call search('\<\V' . w . '\>') " position cursor on match : " Add a match highlight to the word at this position : hi previewWord term=bold ctermbg=green guibg=green : exe 'match previewWord "\%' . line(".") . 'l\%' . col(".") . 'c\k"' : wincmd p " back to old window : endif : endif :endfun ============================================================================== 11. Using hidden buffers buffer-hidden* A hidden buffer is not displayed in a window, but is still loaded into memory. This makes it possible to jump from file to file, without the need to read or write the file every time you get another buffer in a window. :buffer-! If the option 'hidden' ('hid') is set, abandoned buffers are kept for all commands that start editing another file: ":edit", ":next", ":tag", etc. The commands that move through the buffer list sometimes make the current buffer hidden although the 'hidden' option is not set. This happens when a buffer is modified, but is forced (with '!') to be removed from a window, and 'autowrite' is off or the buffer can't be written. You can make a hidden buffer not hidden by starting to edit it with any command. Or by deleting it with the ":bdelete" command. The 'hidden' is global, it is used for all buffers. The 'bufhidden' option can be used to make an exception for a specific buffer. It can take these values: <empty> Use the value of 'hidden'. hide Hide this buffer, also when 'hidden' is not set. unload Don't hide but unload this buffer, also when 'hidden' is set. delete Delete the buffer. hidden-quit When you try to quit Vim while there is a hidden, modified buffer, you will get an error message and Vim will make that buffer the current buffer. You can then decide to write this buffer (":wq") or quit without writing (":q!"). Be careful: there may be more hidden, modified buffers! A buffer can also be unlisted. This means it exists, but it is not in the list of buffers. \|unlisted-buffer\| :files[!] [flags] :files :buffers[!] [flags] :buffers :ls :ls[!] [flags] Show all buffers. Example: 1 #h "/test/text" line 1 ~ 2u "asdf" line 0 ~ 3 %a + "version.c" line 1 ~ When the [!] is included the list will show unlisted buffers (the term "unlisted" is a bit confusing then...). Each buffer has a unique number. That number will not change, thus you can always go to a specific buffer with ":buffer N" or "N CTRL-^", where N is the buffer number. For the file name these special values are used: [Prompt] \|prompt-buffer\| [Popup] buffer of a \|popup-window\| [Scratch] 'buftype' is "nofile" [No Name] no file name specified For a \|terminal-window\| buffer the status is used. Indicators (chars in the same column are mutually exclusive): u an unlisted buffer (only displayed when [!] is used) \|unlisted-buffer\| % the buffer in the current window # the alternate buffer for ":e #" and CTRL-^ a an active buffer: it is loaded and visible h a hidden buffer: It is loaded, but currently not displayed in a window \|hidden-buffer\| - a buffer with 'modifiable' off = a readonly buffer R a terminal buffer with a running job F a terminal buffer with a finished job ? a terminal buffer without a job: `:terminal NONE` + a modified buffer x a buffer with read errors [flags] can be a combination of the following characters, which restrict the buffers to be listed: + modified buffers - buffers with 'modifiable' off = readonly buffers a active buffers u unlisted buffers (overrides the "!") h hidden buffers x buffers with a read error % current buffer # alternate buffer R terminal buffers with a running job F terminal buffers with a finished job ? terminal buffers without a job: `:terminal NONE` t show time last used and sort buffers Combining flags means they are "and"ed together, e.g.: h+ hidden buffers which are modified a+ active buffers which are modified When using \|:filter\| the pattern is matched against the displayed buffer name, e.g.: > filter /\.vim/ ls < :bad :badd :bad[d] [+lnum] {fname} Add file name {fname} to the buffer list, without loading it, if it wasn't listed yet. If the buffer was previously deleted, not wiped, it will be made listed again. If "lnum" is specified, the cursor will be positioned at that line when the buffer is first entered. Note that other commands after the + will be ignored. :balt :balt [+lnum] {fname} Like `:badd` and also set the alternate file for the current window to {fname}. :[N]bd[elete][!] :bd :bdel :bdelete E516 :bd[elete][!] [N] Unload buffer [N] (default: current buffer) and delete it from the buffer list. If the buffer was changed, this fails, unless when [!] is specified, in which case changes are lost. The file remains unaffected. Any windows for this buffer are closed. If buffer [N] is the current buffer, another buffer will be displayed instead. This is the most recent entry in the jump list that points into a loaded buffer. Actually, the buffer isn't completely deleted, it is removed from the buffer list \|unlisted-buffer\| and option values, variables and mappings/abbreviations for the buffer are cleared. Examples: > :.,$-bdelete " delete buffers from the current one to " last but one :%bdelete " delete all buffers < :bdelete[!] {bufname} E93 E94 Like ":bdelete[!] [N]", but buffer given by name, see \|{bufname}\|. :bdelete[!] N1 N2 ... Do ":bdelete[!]" for buffer N1, N2, etc. The arguments can be buffer numbers or buffer names (but not buffer names that are a number). Insert a backslash before a space in a buffer name. :N,Mbdelete[!] Do ":bdelete[!]" for all buffers in the range N to M \|inclusive\|. :[N]bw[ipeout][!] :bw :bwipe :bwipeout E517 :bw[ipeout][!] {bufname} :N,Mbw[ipeout][!] :bw[ipeout][!] N1 N2 ... Like \|:bdelete\|, but really delete the buffer. Everything related to the buffer is lost. All marks in this buffer become invalid, option settings are lost, etc. Don't use this unless you know what you are doing. Examples: > :.+,$bwipeout " wipe out all buffers after the current " one :%bwipeout " wipe out all buffers < :[N]bun[load][!] :bun :bunload E515 :bun[load][!] [N] Unload buffer [N] (default: current buffer). The memory allocated for this buffer will be freed. The buffer remains in the buffer list. If the buffer was changed, this fails, unless when [!] is specified, in which case the changes are lost. Any windows for this buffer are closed. If buffer [N] is the current buffer, another buffer will be displayed instead. This is the most recent entry in the jump list that points into a loaded buffer. :bunload[!] {bufname} Like ":bunload[!] [N]", but buffer given by name. Also see \|{bufname}\|. :N,Mbunload[!] Do ":bunload[!]" for all buffers in the range N to M \|inclusive\|. :bunload[!] N1 N2 ... Do ":bunload[!]" for buffer N1, N2, etc. The arguments can be buffer numbers or buffer names (but not buffer names that are a number). Insert a backslash before a space in a buffer name. :[N]b[uffer][!] [+cmd] [N] :b :bu :buf :buffer E86 Edit buffer [N] from the buffer list. If [N] is not given, the current buffer remains being edited. See \|:buffer-!\| for [!]. This will also edit a buffer that is not in the buffer list, without setting the 'buflisted' flag. Also see \|+cmd\|. :[N]b[uffer][!] [+cmd] {bufname} {bufname} Edit buffer for {bufname} from the buffer list. A partial name also works, so long as it is unique in the list of buffers. Note that a buffer whose name is a number cannot be referenced by that name; use the buffer number instead. Insert a backslash before a space in a buffer name. See \|:buffer-!\| for [!]. This will also edit a buffer that is not in the buffer list, without setting the 'buflisted' flag. Also see \|+cmd\|. :[N]sb[uffer] [+cmd] [N] :sb :sbuffer Split window and edit buffer [N] from the buffer list. If [N] is not given, the current buffer is edited. Respects the "useopen" setting of 'switchbuf' when splitting. This will also edit a buffer that is not in the buffer list, without setting the 'buflisted' flag. Also see \|+cmd\|. :[N]sb[uffer] [+cmd] {bufname} Split window and edit buffer for \|{bufname}\| from the buffer list. This will also edit a buffer that is not in the buffer list, without setting the 'buflisted' flag. Note: If what you want to do is split the buffer, make a copy under another name, you can do it this way: > :w foobar \| sp # < Also see \|+cmd\|. :[N]bn[ext][!] [+cmd] [N] :bn :bnext E87 Go to [N]th next buffer in buffer list. [N] defaults to one. Wraps around the end of the buffer list. See \|:buffer-!\| for [!]. Also see \|+cmd\|. If you are in a help buffer, this takes you to the next help buffer (if there is one). Similarly, if you are in a normal (non-help) buffer, this takes you to the next normal buffer. This is so that if you have invoked help, it doesn't get in the way when you're browsing code/text buffers. The next three commands also work like this. :sbn :sbnext :[N]sbn[ext] [+cmd] [N] Split window and go to [N]th next buffer in buffer list. Wraps around the end of the buffer list. Uses 'switchbuf' Also see \|+cmd\|. :[N]bN[ext][!] [+cmd] [N] :bN :bNext :bp :bprevious E88 :[N]bp[revious][!] [+cmd] [N] Go to [N]th previous buffer in buffer list. [N] defaults to one. Wraps around the start of the buffer list. See \|:buffer-!\| for [!] and 'switchbuf'. Also see \|+cmd\|. :[N]sbN[ext] [+cmd] [N] :sbN :sbNext :sbp :sbprevious :[N]sbp[revious] [+cmd] [N] Split window and go to [N]th previous buffer in buffer list. Wraps around the start of the buffer list. Uses 'switchbuf'. Also see \|+cmd\|. :br[ewind][!] [+cmd] :br :bre :brewind Go to first buffer in buffer list. If the buffer list is empty, go to the first unlisted buffer. See \|:buffer-!\| for [!]. :bf[irst] [+cmd] :bf :bfirst Same as \|:brewind\|. Also see \|+cmd\|. :sbr[ewind] [+cmd] :sbr :sbrewind Split window and go to first buffer in buffer list. If the buffer list is empty, go to the first unlisted buffer. Respects the 'switchbuf' option. Also see \|+cmd\|. :sbf[irst] [+cmd] :sbf :sbfirst Same as ":sbrewind". :bl[ast][!] [+cmd] :bl :blast Go to last buffer in buffer list. If the buffer list is empty, go to the last unlisted buffer. See \|:buffer-!\| for [!]. :sbl[ast] [+cmd] :sbl :sblast Split window and go to last buffer in buffer list. If the buffer list is empty, go to the last unlisted buffer. Respects 'switchbuf' option. :[N]bm[odified][!] [+cmd] [N] :bm :bmodified E84 Go to [N]th next modified buffer. Note: this command also finds unlisted buffers. If there is no modified buffer the command fails. :[N]sbm[odified] [+cmd] [N] :sbm :sbmodified Split window and go to [N]th next modified buffer. Respects 'switchbuf' option. Note: this command also finds buffers not in the buffer list. :[N]unh[ide] [N] :unh :unhide :sun :sunhide :[N]sun[hide] [N] Rearrange the screen to open one window for each loaded buffer in the buffer list. When a count is given, this is the maximum number of windows to open. :[N]ba[ll] [N] :ba :ball :sba :sball :[N]sba[ll] [N] Rearrange the screen to open one window for each buffer in the buffer list. When a count is given, this is the maximum number of windows to open. 'winheight' also limits the number of windows opened ('winwidth' if \|:vertical\| was prepended). Buf/Win Enter/Leave autocommands are not executed for the new windows here, that's only done when they are really entered. When the \|:tab\| modifier is used new windows are opened in a new tab, up to 'tabpagemax'. Note: All the commands above that start editing another buffer, keep the 'readonly' flag as it was. This differs from the ":edit" command, which sets the 'readonly' flag each time the file is read. ============================================================================== 12. Special kinds of buffers special-buffers Instead of containing the text of a file, buffers can also be used for other purposes. A few options can be set to change the behavior of a buffer: 'bufhidden' what happens when the buffer is no longer displayed in a window. 'buftype' what kind of a buffer this is 'swapfile' whether the buffer will have a swap file 'buflisted' buffer shows up in the buffer list A few useful kinds of a buffer: quickfix Used to contain the error list or the location list. See \|:cwindow\| and \|:lwindow\|. This command sets the 'buftype' option to "quickfix". You are not supposed to change this! 'swapfile' is off. help Contains a help file. Will only be created with the \|:help\| command. The flag that indicates a help buffer is internal and can't be changed. The 'buflisted' option will be reset for a help buffer. terminal A terminal window buffer, see \|terminal\|. The contents cannot be read or changed until the job ends. directory Displays directory contents. Can be used by a file explorer plugin. The buffer is created with these settings: > :setlocal buftype=nowrite :setlocal bufhidden=delete :setlocal noswapfile < The buffer name is the name of the directory and is adjusted when using the \|:cd\| command. scratch Contains text that can be discarded at any time. It is kept when closing the window, it must be deleted explicitly. Settings: > :setlocal buftype=nofile :setlocal bufhidden=hide :setlocal noswapfile < The buffer name can be used to identify the buffer, if you give it a meaningful name. unlisted-buffer unlisted The buffer is not in the buffer list. It is not used for normal editing, but to show a help file, remember a file name or marks. The ":bdelete" command will also set this option, thus it doesn't completely delete the buffer. Settings: > :setlocal nobuflisted < vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:	54.43 KB	2025-11-11 23:24
