|
|
43 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
|
|
141
|
46 run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0.
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer,
|
|
|
49 unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the
|
|
|
50 buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing
|
|
|
51 all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that
|
|
|
52 ":quit" fails now.
|
|
7
|
53
|
|
10
|
54 ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
|
|
|
55
|
|
39
|
56 In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file
|
|
|
57 name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping
|
|
|
58 double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi.
|
|
|
59 Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~
|
|
|
60 :edit foo\"888 'foo"888' 'foo"888'
|
|
|
61 :next foo\"888 'foo888' 'foo"888'
|
|
|
62 :next a\"b c\"d 'ab cd' 'a"b' and 'c"d'
|
|
|
63
|
|
100
|
64 In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one.
|
|
|
65 ":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it
|
|
|
66 results in "a'b".
|
|
|
67
|
|
460
|
68 When overwriting a file with ":w! fname" there was no warning for when "fname"
|
|
|
69 was being edited by another Vim. Vim now gives an error message |E768|.
|
|
|
70
|
|
575
|
71 The support for Mac OS 9 has been removed.
|
|
|
72
|
|
10
|
73
|
|
|
74 Minor incompatibilities:
|
|
|
75
|
|
|
76 For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
|
|
|
77 */.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
79 ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
|
|
|
80
|
|
|
81 Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
|
|
|
82
|
|
|
83 Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
|
|
|
84 confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
|
7
|
85
|
|
29
|
86 When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name
|
|
|
87 isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name that are not useful.
|
|
|
88
|
|
|
89 The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML
|
|
279
|
90 looks like its displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR", or
|
|
|
91 "let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by
|
|
|
92 Carl Osterwisch)
|
|
32
|
93 Diff mode now is also converted as it is displayed.
|
|
29
|
94
|
|
36
|
95 Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends
|
|
|
96 on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without
|
|
|
97 changing 'winaltkeys'.
|
|
|
98
|
|
100
|
99 When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which
|
|
|
100 is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to
|
|
|
101 avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010".
|
|
39
|
102
|
|
|
103 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings'
|
|
|
104 now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit
|
|
|
105 encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if
|
|
|
106 possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a
|
|
|
107 non-latin1 environment, such as Russian.
|
|
|
108
|
|
149
|
109 Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying
|
|
|
110 a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed.
|
|
|
111
|
|
164
|
112 "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit.
|
|
|
113 Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option.
|
|
|
114
|
|
181
|
115 Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the
|
|
|
116 disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since
|
|
|
117 you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally
|
|
|
118 translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>,
|
|
|
119 <xF1>, etc.
|
|
|
120
|
|
237
|
121 ":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line.
|
|
|
122
|
|
379
|
123 When a .gvimrc file exists then 'compatible' is off, just like when a ".vimrc"
|
|
|
124 file exists.
|
|
|
125
|
|
494
|
126 When making a string upper-case with "vlllU" or similar then the German sharp
|
|
|
127 s is replaced with "SS". This does not happen with "~" to avoid backwards
|
|
|
128 compatibility problems and because "SS" can't be changed back to a sharp s.
|
|
|
129
|
|
505
|
130 "gd" previously found the very first occurrence of a variable in a function,
|
|
|
131 that could be the function argument without type. Now it finds the position
|
|
|
132 where the type is given.

135 NEW FEATURES *new-7*
|
|
|
136
|
|
116
|
137 Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script*
|
|
|
138 -----------------------
|
|
7
|
139
|
|
|
140 In Vim scripts the following types have been added:
|
|
|
141
|
|
97
|
142 List ordered list of items |List|
|
|
|
143 Dictionary associative array of items |Dictionary|
|
|
|
144 Funcref reference to a function |Funcref|
|
|
7
|
145
|
|
|
146 Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.
|
|
|
147
|
|
97
|
148 The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a
|
|
|
149 variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()|
|
|
|
150 can be used to turn the string back into the variable value.
|
|
|
151
|
|
116
|
152 The |:let| command can now use ":let var += expr" like using ":let var = var +
|
|
|
153 expr". "-=" and ".=" works in a similar way.
|
|
|
154
|
|
175
|
155 With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script
|
|
|
156 wastes its time.
|
|
|
157
|
|
634
|
158 In the Python interface vim.eval() also handles Dictionaries and Lists.

|
162 Spell checking *new-spell*
|
|
|
163 --------------
|
|
|
164
|
|
|
165 Spell checking has been integrated in Vim. There were a few implementations
|
|
|
166 with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program.
|
|
|
167
|
|
|
168 The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off.
|
|
|
169 The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the languages that are accepted.
|
|
323
|
170 The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added.
|
|
379
|
171 The 'spellsuggest' option specifies the methods used for making suggestions
|
|
323
|
172
|
|
|
173 The |[s| and |]s| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error.
|
|
|
174 The |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to add good and wrong words.
|
|
594
|
175 The |z=| command can be used to correct the word.
|
|
379
|
176 The |:mkspell| command is used to generate a Vim spell file from word lists.
|
|
222
|
177
|
|
|
178 The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling
|
|
|
179 mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki).
|
|
|
180 The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and
|
|
|
181 background.
|
|
|
182 The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about
|
|
|
183 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined
|
|
301
|
184 with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax
|
|
|
185 highlighting.
|
|

|
|
187 Much more info here: |spell|.
|
|
|
188
|
|
|
189
|
|
523
|
190 Omni completion *new-omni-completion*
|
|
|
191 -----------------
|
|
|
192
|
|
|
193 This could also be called "intellisense", but that is a trademark. It is a
|
|
|
194 smart kind of completion. The text in front of the cursor is inspected to
|
|
|
195 figure out what could be following. This considers struct and class members,
|
|
|
196 unions, etc.
|
|
|
197
|
|
|
198 Use CTRL-X CTRL-O in Insert mode to start the completion. |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|
|
|
|
199
|
|
|
200 The 'omnifunc' option is set by filetype plugins to define the function that
|
|
|
201 figures out the completion.
|
|
|
202
|
|
541
|
203 Currently supported languages:
|
|
|
204 C |ft-c-omni|
|
|
|
205 XHTML |ft-html-omni|
|
|
|
206
|
|
|
207 When the 'completeopt' option contains "menu" then matches for Insert mode
|
|
|
208 completion are displayed in a popup menu.
|
|
523
|
209
|
|
|
210
|
|
14
|
211 MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme*
|
|
|
212 ------------------
|
|
|
213
|
|
|
214 The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
|
|
|
215 The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands.
|
|
|
216 The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file.
|
|
|
217
|
|
97
|
218
|
|
15
|
219 Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte*
|
|
|
220 ------------------
|
|
|
221
|
|
|
222 The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters.
|
|
|
223 The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
|
|
|
224 Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams)
|
|
|
225
|
|

|
226

|
227 Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans*
|
|
|
228 -----------------------
|
|
|
229
|
|
|
230 The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
|
|
200
|
231 several other languages.
|
|
|
232
|
|
237
|
233 French - translated by David Blanchet
|
|
200
|
234 Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo
|
|
|
235 Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin
|
|
36
|
236
|
|
237
|
237 The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/,
|
|
|
238 .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no
|
|
|
239 standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file
|
|
|
240 is used there as a best guess.
|
|
|
241 Other languages are installed in similar places.
|
|
284
|
242 The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured
|
|
|
243 with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will
|
|
|
244 do it anyway.
|
|
40
|
245
|
|
36
|
246
|
|
43
|
247 Internal grep *new-vimgrep*
|
|
|
248 -------------
|
|
|
249
|
|
|
250 The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
|
|
|
251 This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides
|
|
|
252 better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
|
|
|
253 patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
|
|
|
254 |:vimgrep|.
|
|
|
255
|
|
170
|
256 If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the
|
|
231
|
257 |getqflist()| function.
|
|
170
|
258
|
|
445
|
259 To search in files in various directories the "**" pattern can be used. It
|
|
|
260 expands into an arbitrary depth of directories. "**" can be used in all
|
|
|
261 places where file names are expanded, thus also with |:next| and |:args|.
|
|
|
262
|
|
43
|
263
|
|
446
|
264 Scroll back in messages *new-scroll-back*
|
|
|
265 -----------------------
|
|
|
266
|
|
|
267 When displaying messages, at the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, The
|
|
|
268 'k', 'u' and 'b' keys can be used to scroll back to previous messages. This
|
|
|
269 is especially useful for commands such as ":syntax", ":autocommand" and
|
|
|
270 ":highlight". This is implemented in a generic way thus it works for all
|
|
|
271 commands and highlighting is kept. Only works when the 'more' option is set.
|
|
|
272 Previously it only partly worked for ":clist".
|
|
|
273
|
|
448
|
274 The |g<| command can be used to see the last page of messages after you have
|
|
|
275 hit <Enter> at the |hit-enter-prompt|. Then you can scroll further back.
|
|
|
276
|
|
446
|
277
|
|
164
|
278 POSIX compatibility *new-posix*
|
|
|
279 -------------------
|
|
|
280
|
|
|
281 The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of
|
|
|
282 problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them
|
|
|
283 conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment
|
|
|
284 variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|.
|
|
|
285
|
|
|
286 Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty:
|
|
|
287 - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to
|
|
|
288 'cpoptions' |cpo-X|
|
|
|
289 - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added
|
|
|
290 the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--|
|
|
|
291 - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the
|
|
|
292 '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&|
|
|
|
293 - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and
|
|
|
294 CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now
|
|
|
295 accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a
|
|
|
296 digit.
|
|
|
297 - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}.
|
|
|
298 - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in
|
|
|
299 'cpoptions'.
|
|
169
|
300 - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number".
|
|
|
301 - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified.
|
|
|
302 - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line
|
|
|
303 above or below the new lines.
|
|
|
304 - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command.
|
|
|
305 - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the
|
|
|
306 inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines.
|
|
|
307 - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each
|
|
|
308 matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line.
|
|
|
309 - The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but
|
|
|
310 redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do.
|
|
|
311 - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external
|
|
|
312 command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe").
|
|
|
313 - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed.
|
|
|
314 - The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before.
|
|
|
315 - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'.
|
|
|
316 - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert.
|
|
|
317 - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line.
|
|
|
318 - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and
|
|
|
319 CTRL-T cannot be handled then.
|
|
308
|
320 - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines.
|

321 - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started.
|

325 Debugger support *new-debug-support*
|
|
|
326 ----------------
|
|
|
327
|
|
|
328 The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement
|
|
|
329 balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the
|
|
|
330 mouse pointer.
|
|

333 Remote file explorer *new-netrw-explore*
|
|
|
334 --------------------
|
|
|
335
|
|
|
336 The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used.
|
|
|
337 Deleting and renaming files is possible.
|
|
|
338
|
|
|
339 To avoid duplicating a lot of code, the previous file explorer plugin has been
|
|
|
340 integrated in the netrw plugin. This means browsing local and remote files
|
|
|
341 works the same way.
|
|
|
342
|
|
|
343 ":browse edit" and ":browse split" use the netrw plugin when it's available
|
|
|
344 and a GUI dialog is not possible.
|
|
|
345
|
|
|
346 The netrw plugin is maintained by Charles Campbell.

349 Define an operator *new-define-operator*
|
|
|
350 ------------------
|
|
|
351
|
|
|
352 Previously it was not possible to define your own operator; a command that is
|
|
|
353 followed by a {motion}. Vim 7 introduces the 'operatorfunc' option and the
|
|
|
354 |g@| operator. This makes it possible to define a mapping that works like an
|
|
|
355 operator. The actual work is then done by a function, which is invoked
|
|
|
356 through the |g@| operator.
|
|
|
357
|
|
|
358 See |:map-operator| for the explanation and an example.

360 Location list *new-location-list*
|
|
|
361 -------------
|
|
|
362
|
|
|
363 The support for a per-window quickfix list (location list) is added. The
|
|
|
364 location list can be displayed in a location window (similar to the quickfix
|
|
|
365 window). You can open more than one location list window. A set of commands
|
|
|
366 similar to the quickfix commands are added to browse the location list.

630 Mac: support for multi-byte characters. (Da Woon Jung)
|
|
|
631
|
|
594
|
632 Mac: Support the xterm mouse in the non-GUI version.
|
|
|
633
|
|
|
634 Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc
|
|
|
635 event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a
|
|
|
636 file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung)
|
|
|
637
|
|
|
638 Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode.

36
|
645 To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values,
|
|
|
646 they are not supported by termcap/terminfo.
|
|
|
647
|
|
40
|
648 Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work
|
|
|
649 when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See
|
|
|
650 |autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner)
|
|
|
651
|
|

|
652 For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized.
|
|
|
653 |xterm-modifier-keys|
|
|
|
654
|
|
481
|
655 When 'verbose' is set the output of ":highlight" will show where a highlight
|
|
|
656 item was last set.
|
|
502
|
657 When 'verbose' is set the output of the ":map", ":abbreviate", ":command",
|
|
|
658 ":function" and ":autocmd" commands will show where it was last defined.

|
661 ":function /pattern" lists functions matching the pattern.
|
|
|
662
|
|
523
|
663 "1gd" can be used like "gd" but ignores matches in a {} block that ends before
|
|
|
664 the cursor position. Likewise for "1gD" and "gD".
|
|
|
665
|
|
533
|
666 'scrolljump' can be set to a negative number to scroll a percentage of the
|
|
|
667 window height.
|
|
|
668
|
|
541
|
669 The |v:scrollstart| variable has been added to help finding the location in
|
|
|
670 your script that causes the hit-enter prompt.
|
|
|
671
|
|
591
|
672 To make it possible to handle the situation that a file is being edited that
|
|
|
673 is already being edited by another Vim instance, the |SwapExists| event has
|
|
|
674 been added. The |v:swapname|, |v:swapchoice| and |v:swapcommand| variables
|
|
|
675 can be used, for example to use the |client-server| functionality to bring the
|
|
|
676 other Vim to the foreground.
|
|
604
|
677 When starting Vim with a "-t tag" argument, there is an existing swapfile and
|
|
|
678 the user selects "quit" or "abort" then exit Vim.

|
681 IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
|
|
|
682
|
|
10
|
683 ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
|
|
|
684
|
|
15
|
685 Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
|
|
|
686
|
|
557
|
687 When ":silent" is used and a backwards range is given for an Ex command the
|
|
|
688 range is swapped automatically instead of asking if that is OK.
|
|
|
689
|
|
181
|
690 The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an
|
|
|
691 iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in
|
|
|
692 allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows
|
|
|
693 matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that.
|
|
|
694
|
|
634
|
695 Previously some options were always evaluated in the |sandbox|. Now that only
|
|
|
696 happens when the option was set from a modeline or in secure mode. Applies to
|
|
|
697 'balloonexpr', 'foldexpr', 'foldtext' and 'includeexpr'. (Sumner Hayes)
|
|
|
698
|
|
|
699 Some commands and expressions could have nasty side effects, such as using
|
|
|
700 CTRL-R = while editing a search pattern and the expression invokes a function
|
|
|
701 that jumps to another window. The |textlock| has been added to prevent this
|
|
|
702 from happening.
|
|
|
703
|
|
10
|
704 ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
|
|
|
705 breakpoint at the cursor.
|
|
|
706
|
|
11
|
707 The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a
|
|
|
708 few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.
|
|

|
709
|
|
12
|
710 Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
|
|
|
711 it. (Johannes Zellner)
|
|
|
712
|
|
587
|
713 Mac and Cygwin: When editing an existing file make the file name the same case
|
|
|
714 of the edited file. Thus when typing ":e os_UNIX.c" the file name becomes
|
|
|
715 "os_unix.c".
|
|
|
716
|
|
13
|
717 Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)
|
|
|
718
|
|
17
|
719 Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that
|
|
557
|
720 does not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
|
|
17
|
721 autocommands.
|
|
|
722
|
|
14
|
723 For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
724 - square brackets are recognized properly
|
|
|
725 - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
|
|
|
726 - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized
|
|
|
727
|
|
19
|
728 Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)
|
|
|
729
|
|
20
|
730 winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
|
|
|
731 Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
732
|
|
|
733 Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
|
|
|
734
|
|
22
|
735 When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
|
|
|
736 delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
|
|
|
737 actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)
|
|
|
738
|
|
|
739 When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
|
|
|
740 Also support setting the filetype to "cdoxygen" for C plus doxygen syntax.
|
|
|
741 (Michael Geddes)
|
|
|
742
|
|
|
743 The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.
|
|
|
744
|
|
|
745 VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
|
|
|
746 upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
|
|
|
747 (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
|
748
|
|
23
|
749 For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
|
|
|
750 of buffers.
|
|
|
751
|
|
40
|
752 The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
|
|
|
753 have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
754
|
|
26
|
755 When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts
|
|
|
756 the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras)
|
|
|
757
|
|
|
758 Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
|
|
|
759 digraphs still work when iconv is not available.
|
|
|
760
|
|
36
|
761 When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
|
|
|
762 buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
|
|
|
763 list.
|
|
|
764
|
|
|
765 Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
|
|
|
766 (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)
|
|
|
767
|
|
|
768 When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
|
|
|
769 second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
|
|
|
770 line is just "/*".
|
|
|
771
|
|
39
|
772 When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
|
|
|
773 mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
|
|
|
774 edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to
|
|
|
775 the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The
|
|
|
776 used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
|
|
|
777 more reliable.
|
|
|
778
|
|
594
|
779 Unix: When editing a file through a symlink the swap file would use the name
|
|
|
780 of the symlink. Now use the name of the actual file, so that editing the same
|
|
|
781 file twice is detected. (suggestions by Stefano Zacchiroli and James Vega)
|
|
|
782
|
|
39
|
783 Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding'
|
|
|
784 in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
|
|
|
785 "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims
|
|
|
786 with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.
|
|
|
787
|
|
41
|
788 Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
|
|
|
789 incremented/decremented each time.
|
|
|
790
|
|
69
|
791 Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label
|
|
46
|
792 contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
|
|
|
793 a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.
|
|
|
794
|
|
56
|
795 When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.
|
|
|
796
|
|
100
|
797 Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.
|
|
|
798
|
|
284
|
799 ":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for
|
|
169
|
800 invalid characters after the register name. |:redir|
|
|
|
801
|
|
|
802 ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable.
|
|
|
803 (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir|
|
|
123
|
804
|
|
445
|
805 ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
284
|
806
|
|
294
|
807 The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose
|
|
|
808 messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to
|
|
|
809 log startup messages.
|
|
|
810
|
|
123
|
811 ":let g:" lists global variables.
|
|
|
812 ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables.
|
|
|
813 ":let w:" lists window-local variables.
|
|
|
814 ":let v:" lists Vim variables.
|
|
|
815
|
|
149
|
816 The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
|
|
|
817 searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
136
|
818
|
|
284
|
819 The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression
|
|
|
820 for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it.
|
|
|
821
|
|
|
822 The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When
|
|
|
823 the line number is just below the last line the line is appended.
|
|
|
824
|
|
162
|
825 g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of
|
|
|
826 bytes.
|
|
|
827
|
|
169
|
828 Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip
|
|
|
829 ":" between range and command name. (Peter winters)
|
|
|
830
|
|
|
831 CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was
|
|
|
832 ignored.
|
|
|
833
|
|
|
834 When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep
|
|
|
835 will result in a message with the source of the error.
|
|
|
836
|
|
170
|
837 When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that
|
|
|
838 ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c".
|
|
|
839
|
|
|
840 To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has
|
|
|
841 been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|.
|
|
|
842
|
|
175
|
843 The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for
|
|
534
|
844 'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin" and "putty".
|
|
179
|
845
|
|
|
846 The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason|
|
|
|
847 variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used
|
|
|
848 to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do.
|
|
175
|
849
|
|
181
|
850 Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the
|
|
|
851 possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character
|
|
|
852 and the * stands for the modifier code.
|
|
|
853 Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize
|
|
|
854 the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible
|
|
|
855 modifiers.
|
|
|
856
|
|
218
|
857 getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified
|
|
|
858 window.
|
|
|
859
|
|
234
|
860 Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
861
|
|
271
|
862 GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by
|
|
|
863 Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb.
|
|
|
864
|
|
323
|
865 Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were
|
|
|
866 used.
|
|
|
867
|
|
333
|
868 Win32: If the user changes the setting for the number of lines a scroll wheel
|
|
|
869 click scrolls it is now used immediately. Previously Vim would need to be
|
|
|
870 restarted.
|
|
|
871
|
|
337
|
872 When using @= in an expression the value is expression @= contains. ":let @=
|
|
|
873 = value" can be used to set the register contents.
|
|
|
874
|
|
404
|
875 A ! can be added to ":popup" to have the popup menu appear at the mouse
|
|
|
876 pointer position instead of the text cursor.
|
|
|
877
|
|
408
|
878 The table with encodings has been expanded with many MS-Windows codepages,
|
|
|
879 such as cp1250 and cp737, so that these can also be used on Unix without
|
|
|
880 prepending "8bit-".
|
|
481
|
881 When an encoding name starts with "microsoft-cp" ignore the "microsoft-" part.
|
|
408
|
882
|
|
|
883 Added the "customlist" completion argument to a user-defined command. The
|
|
|
884 user-defined completion function should return the completion candidates as a
|
|
445
|
885 Vim List and the returned results are not filtered by Vim. (Yegappan
|
|
|
886 Lakshmanan)
|
|
408
|
887
|
|
436
|
888 Win32: Balloons can have multiple lines if common controls supports it.
|
|
|
889 (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
890
|
|
445
|
891 The 's' flag is added to the search() and searchpair() function to set the
|
|
|
892 ' mark if the cursor is moved. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
893
|
|
462
|
894 For 'errorformat' it was not possible to have a file name that contains the
|
|
|
895 character that follows after "%f". For example, in "%f:%l:%m" the file name
|
|
|
896 could not contain ":". Now include the first ":" where the rest of the
|
|
|
897 pattern matches. In the example a ":" not followed by a line number is
|
|
|
898 included in the file name. (suggested by Emanuele Giaquinta)
|
|
|
899
|
|
480
|
900 For command-line completion the matches for various types of arguments are now
|
|
|
901 sorted: user commands, variables, syntax names, etc.
|
|
|
902
|
|
494
|
903 When no locale is set, thus using the "C" locale, Vim will work with latin1
|
|
557
|
904 characters, using its own isupper()/toupper()/etc. functions.
|
|
494
|
905
|
|
500
|
906 When using an rxvt terminal emulator guess the value of 'background' using the
|
|
|
907 COLORFGBG environment variable. (Ciaran McCreesh)
|
|
|
908
|
|
|
909 Also support t_SI and t_EI on Unix with normal features. (Ciaran McCreesh)
|
|
|
910
|
|
520
|
911 When 'foldcolumn' is one then put as much info in it as possible. This allows
|
|
|
912 closing a fold with the mouse by clicking on the '-'.
|
|
|
913
|
|
531
|
914 input() takes an optional completion argument to specify the type of
|
|
|
915 completion supported for the input. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
916
|
|
533
|
917 "dp" works with more than two buffers in diff mode if there is only one where
|
|
|
918 'modifiable' is set.
|
|
|
919
|
|
538
|
920 When the 'include' option contains \zs the file name found is what is being
|
|
|
921 matched from \zs to the end or \ze. Useful to pass more to 'includeexpr'.
|
|
|
922
|
|
541
|
923 Loading plugins on startup now supports subdirectories in the plugin
|
|
|
924 directory. |load-plugins|
|
|
|
925
|
|
548
|
926 In the foldcolumn always show the '+' for a closed fold, so that it can be
|
|
|
927 opened easily. It may overwrite another character, esp. if 'foldcolumn' is 1.
|
|
|
928
|
|
|
929 It is now possible to get the W10 message again by setting 'readonly'. Useful
|
|
|

937 In the ATTENTION prompt put the "Delete it" choice before "Quit" to make it

939
|
|
591
|
940 When appending to a file while the buffer has no name the name of the appended
|
|
|
941 file would be used for the current buffer. But the buffer contents is
|
|
|
942 actually different from the file content. Don't set the file name, unless the
|
|
|
943 'P' flag is present in 'cpoptions'.
|
|
|
944
|
|
594
|
945 When starting to edit a new file and the directory for the file doesn't exist
|
|
|
946 then Vim will report "[New DIRECTORY]" instead of "[New File] to give the user
|
|
|
947 a hint that something might be wrong.

951 In Insert mode CTRL-A didn't keep the last inserted text when using CTRL-O and
|
|
|
952 then a cursor key. Now keep the previously inserted text if nothing is
|
|
|
953 inserted after the CTRL-O. Allows using CTRL-O commands to move the cursor
|
|
|
954 without losing the last inserted text.

955
|
|
615

956 The exists() function now supports checking for autocmd group definition
|

619
|
957 and for supported autocommand events. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|

613
|
958
|

625
|
959 Allow using ":global" in the sandbox, it doesn't do anything harmful by
|
|
|
960 itself.
|
|

961
|
|
634
|
962 ":saveas asdf.c" will set 'filetype' to c when it's empty. Also for ":w

967 COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
|
|
|
968
|
|
69
|
969 Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and
|
|
|
970 probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
|
|
|
971 and merge it back in.
|
|
|
972
|
|
18
|
973 Mac: "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to
|
|
|
974 its final destination. (Raf)
|
|
|
975
|
|
|
976 Mac: Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and
|
|
|
977 still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c
|
|
|
978 file.
|
|
7
|
979
|
|
169
|
980 When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the
|
|
|
981 following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory.
|
|
|
982
|
|
359
|
983 When compiling with EXITFREE defined and the ccmalloc library it is possible
|
|
|
984 to detect memory leaks. Some memory will always reported as leaked, such as
|
|
|
985 allocated by X11 library functions and the memory allocated in alloc_cmdbuff()
|
|
|
986 to store the ":quit" command.
|
|
|
987
|
|
445
|
988 Moved the code for printing to src/hardcopy.c.
|
|
|
989
|
|
|
990 Moved some code from main() to separate functions to make it easier to see
|
|
|
991 what is being done. Use a structure to avoid a lot of arguments to the
|
|
|
992 functions.
|
|
|
993
|
|
|
994 Moved unix_expandpath() to misc1.c, so that it can also be used by os_mac.c
|
|
|
995 without copying the code.
|
|
|
996
|
|
502
|
997 Mac: When running "make install" the runtime files are installed as for Unix.
|
|
|
998 Avoids that too many files are copied. When running "make" a link to the
|
|
|
999 runtime files is created to avoid a recursive copy that takes much time.

|
1002 BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
|
|
|
1003
|
|
10
|
1004 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
|
|
|
1005 instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
|
|
|
1006 work. Use "LPT1" then.
|
|
|
1007
|
|
|
1008 The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
|
|
|
1009 size. Use a default size of 10.
|
|
|
1010
|
|
|
1011 This example in the documentation didn't work:
|
|
|
1012 :e `=foo . ".c" `
|
|
|
1013 Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
|
|
|
1014
|
|
|
1015 When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
|
|
|
1016
|
|
|
1017 "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
|
|
|
1018
|
|
|
1019 Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
|
|
|
1020 when it doesn't support MDI.
|
|
|
1021
|
|
|
1022 Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
|
|
|
1023
|
|
|
1024 "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
|
|
|
1025 space.
|
|
|
1026
|
|
|
1027 Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
|
|
|
1028 SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
|
|
|
1029 for doesn't have an extension.
|
|
|
1030
|
|
|
1031 When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
|
|
|
1032 may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
|
|
|
1033 cursor and not putting it back where it was.
|
|
|
1034
|
|
|
1035 When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
|
|
|
1036 not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
|
|
|
1037 to make it work the old way.
|
|
|
1038
|
|
|
1039 When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
|
|
|
1040 filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
|
|
|
1041
|
|
|
1042 After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
|
|
|
1043
|
|
|
1044 Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
|
|
|
1045 fields. (Walter Briscoe)
|
|
7
|
1046
|
|
11
|
1047 On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
|
|
|
1048 Michele)
|
|
|
1049
|
|
14
|
1050 Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a
|
|
|
1051 CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)
|
|
|
1052
|
|
16
|
1053 When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
|
|
|
1054 ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.
|
|
|
1055
|
|
|
1056 Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
|
|
480
|
1057 characters. Also remove "'<,'>" when in Visual mode to avoid that it appears
|
|
|
1058 twice.
|
|
16
|
1059
|
|
17
|
1060 When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
|
|
|
1061 variables like for a regular command with a file argument.
|
|
|
1062
|
|
|
1063 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
|
|
|
1064 is indented too much.
|
|
|
1065
|
|
|
1066 When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
|
|
|
1067 alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
|
|
|
1068 items.
|
|
|
1069
|
|
170
|
1070 Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the
|
|
|
1071 active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME.
|
|
|
1072
|
|
18
|
1073 The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use
|
|
|
1074 "cn" or "tw" as intended.
|
|
|
1075
|
|
20
|
1076 When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
|
|
|
1077 after the last line while it's not there.
|
|
|
1078
|
|
|
1079 Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when
|
|
|
1080 resizing the GUI shell upon startup.
|
|
|
1081
|
|
|
1082 Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a
|
|
|
1083 string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored.
|
|
|
1084
|
|
21
|
1085 When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
|
|
|
1086 contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre
|
|
|
1087 and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.
|
|
|
1088
|
|
22
|
1089 strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)
|
|
|
1090
|
|
|
1091 GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
|
|
|
1092 just before it is invoked
|
|
|
1093
|
|
|
1094 VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of
|
|
|
1095 environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
|
1096
|
|
|
1097 UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
|
|
|
1098 from the first character of the word.
|
|
|
1099
|
|
|
1100 When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
|
|
|
1101 detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().
|
|
|
1102
|
|
|
1103 When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
|
|
|
1104 but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.
|
|
|
1105
|
|
23
|
1106 When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
|
|
|
1107 list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow
|
|
|
1108 interrupting this.
|
|
|
1109
|
|
|
1110 When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
|
|
|
1111 used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options
|
|
|
1112 and global options remain unmodified.
|
|
|
1113
|
|
|
1114 Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
|
|
|
1115 command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the
|
|
|
1116 file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.
|
|
|
1117
|
|
24
|
1118 Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
|
|
|
1119 default value of 'isprint' was wrong.
|
|
|
1120
|
|
|
1121 When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
|
|
|
1122 xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
|
|
|
1123 line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.
|
|
|
1124
|
|
26
|
1125 Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.
|
|
|
1126
|
|
|
1127 When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
|
|
|
1128 going to be used like a command.
|
|
|
1129
|
|
|
1130 GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
|
|
|
1131 GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.
|
|
|
1132
|
|
|
1133 GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.
|
|
|
1134
|
|
|
1135 Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
|
|
|
1136 line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the
|
|
|
1137 console version.
|
|
|
1138
|
|
|
1139 Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
|
|
|
1140 there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.
|
|
|
1141
|
|
29
|
1142 When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
|
|
|
1143 files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
|
|
|
1144 directory for the library early in the link flags.
|
|
|
1145
|
|
|
1146 With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
|
|
|
1147 literal text. Now it works for any pattern.
|
|
|
1148
|
|
36
|
1149 When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
|
|
|
1150 cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.
|
|
|
1151
|
|
|
1152 When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
|
|
|
1153 buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.
|
|
|
1154
|
|
|
1155 Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
|
|
|
1156 problems for Terminal.app.
|
|
|
1157
|
|
|
1158 When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
|
|
|
1159 end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
|
|
|
1160 argument.
|
|
|
1161
|
|
|
1162 When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
|
|
|
1163 has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
|
|
|
1164 back.
|
|
|
1165
|
|
|
1166 When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
|
|
|
1167 was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
1168
|
|
|
1169 When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
|
|
|
1170 "cancel", would still give an error message.
|
|
|
1171
|
|
|
1172 The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
|
|
|
1173 mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.
|
|
|
1174
|
|
|
1175 Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
|
|
|
1176 keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).
|
|
|
1177
|
|
|
1178 Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c
|
|
|
1179
|
|
|
1180 In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
|
|
|
1181 selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break
|
|
|
1182 is included, e.g., after "v$o".
|
|
|
1183
|
|
|
1184 GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a
|
|
|
1185 GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)
|
|
|
1186
|
|
|
1187 After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.
|
|
|
1188
|
|
|
1189 When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While
|
|
|
1190 doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott
|
|
38
|
1191 Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
|
|
|
1192 handle. Added handle_signal().
|
|
|
1193
|
|
39
|
1194 When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
|
|
|
1195 white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.
|
|
|
1196
|
|
|
1197 When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
|
|
|
1198 long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent()
|
|
|
1199 being found in a library.
|
|
|
1200
|
|
|
1201 When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
|
|
|
1202 may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.
|
|
|
1203
|
|
|
1204 Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
|
|
|
1205 is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)
|
|
|
1206
|
|
|
1207 When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
|
|
|
1208 original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was
|
|
|
1209 empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
|
|
|
1210 be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
|
|
|
1211 the values when recovering.
|
|
|
1212
|
|
|
1213 ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
|
|
|
1214 message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.
|
|
|
1215
|
|
40
|
1216 Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and #
|
|
|
1217 when building the ":drop" command.
|
|
|
1218
|
|
41
|
1219 A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized.
|
|
|
1220 E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.
|
|
|
1221
|
|
46
|
1222 "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
|
|
|
1223 does. Also breaks "das" on that dot.
|
|
|
1224
|
|
|
1225 When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
|
|
|
1226 moved the cursor to another column.
|
|
|
1227
|
|
|
1228 When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
|
|
|
1229 quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed
|
|
|
1230 fold.
|
|
|
1231
|
|
|
1232 In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
|
|
|
1233 break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".
|
|
|
1234
|

|
1235 Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki)

1237 Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar
|
|
69
|
1238 (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki)
|
|
56
|
1239
|
|
51
|
1240 When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
|
|
|
1241 not included.
|
|
|
1242
|
|
|
1243 Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
|
|
|
1244 Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.
|
|
|
1245
|
|
|
1246 When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
|
|
|
1247 the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.
|
|
|
1248
|
|
76
|
1249 Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".
|
|
|
1250
|
|
91
|
1251 When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode
|
|
|
1252 (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
|
|
|
1253 mode. (Peter Winters)
|
|
|
1254
|
|
97
|
1255 "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.
|
|
|
1256
|
|
100
|
1257 Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
|
|
|
1258 not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
|
|
109
|
1259 Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'".
|
|
100
|
1260
|
|
136
|
1261 When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more
|
|
|
1262 lines" overwrites the message.
|
|
|
1263
|
|
|
1264 Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.
|
|
|
1265
|
|
141
|
1266 When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
|
|
|
1267 after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right
|
|
|
1268 column in the wrong line.
|
|
|
1269
|
|
149
|
1270 When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
|
|
|
1271 starts with "sl".
|
|
|
1272
|
|
|
1273 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear
|
|
|
1274 'paste' when starting the GUI.
|
|
|
1275
|
|
155
|
1276 A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL.
|
|
|
1277
|
|
159
|
1278 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode.
|
|
|
1279 Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a
|
|
|
1280 mapping.
|
|
|
1281
|
|
|
1282 Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato)
|
|
|
1283
|
|
|
1284 ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible.
|
|
|
1285
|
|
162
|
1286 When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice
|
|
|
1287 in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed.
|
|
|
1288
|
|
|
1289 When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an
|
|
|
1290 empty $SHELL value.
|
|
|
1291
|
|
|
1292 A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty
|
|
|
1293 file.
|
|
|
1294
|
|
|
1295 When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still
|
|
|
1296 moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is.
|
|
|
1297
|
|
|
1298 When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put
|
|
|
1299 the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This
|
|
|
1300 is Vi compatible.
|
|
|
1301
|
|
164
|
1302 Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior.
|
|
|
1303 Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The
|
|
|
1304 $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default.
|
|
|
1305
|
|
|
1306 Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>'
|
|
|
1307 flag to 'cpoptions' for this.
|
|
|
1308
|
|
|
1309 Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi
|
|
|
1310 compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this.
|
|
|
1311
|
|
|
1312 When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi
|
|
|
1313 leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in
|
|
|
1314 'cpoptions' for this.
|
|
|
1315
|
|
|
1316 Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append".
|
|
|
1317
|
|
|
1318 Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to
|
|
|
1319 be Vi compatible.
|
|
|
1320
|
|
|
1321 When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still
|
|
|
1322 request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the
|
|
|
1323 shell and caused trouble there.
|
|
|
1324
|
|
169
|
1325 When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would
|
|
|
1326 still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan
|
|
|
1327 Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
1328
|
|
|
1329 It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is
|
|
|
1330 sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command.
|
|
|
1331
|
|
170
|
1332 When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines
|
|
|
1333 from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim.
|
|
|
1334
|
|
|
1335 When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak.
|
|
|
1336
|
|
179
|
1337 Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use
|
|
|
1338 unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka)
|
|
|
1339
|
|
|
1340 ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
|
|
1341
|
|
192
|
1342 The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they
|
|
|
1343 are executed. Abiguous command names were not completed properly.
|
|
|
1344
|
|
197
|
1345 Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that
|
|
|
1346 indirectly invokes ":normal".
|
|
|
1347
|
|
|
1348 Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it
|
|
|
1349 before invoking "diff".
|
|
|
1350
|
|
200
|
1351 Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set
|
|
|
1352 &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters)
|
|
|
1353
|
|
|
1354 When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse
|
|
|
1355 locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another
|
|
|
1356 mouse model.
|
|
|
1357
|
|
206
|
1358 When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed
|
|
|
1359 characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event
|
|
|
1360 is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a
|
|
|
1361 character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer.
|
|
|
1362
|
|
|
1363 Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like
|
|
218
|
1364 ":1argadd *". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit".
|
|
206
|
1365
|
|
|
1366 Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US".
|
|
|
1367
|
|
218
|
1368 Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as
|
|
|
1369 real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit)
|
|
|
1370
|
|
|
1371 Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq"
|
|
|
1372 always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text.
|
|
|
1373
|
|
|
1374 When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype
|
|
|
1375 detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still
|
|
|
1376 compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been
|
|
|
1377 decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "*".
|
|
|
1378
|
|
|
1379 Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved
|
|
|
1380 to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`".
|
|
|
1381 Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line.
|
|
|
1382
|
|
|
1383 "gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptable.
|
|
|
1384
|
|
222
|
1385 When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash.
|
|
|
1386 Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte.
|
|
|
1387
|
|
231
|
1388 In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global
|
|
|
1389 and reset it in nv_home().
|
|
|
1390
|
|
234
|
1391 Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around
|
|
|
1392 spaces inside backticks.
|
|
|
1393
|
|
237
|
1394 After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now
|
|
|
1395 let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted.
|
|
|
1396 This should be the most useful thing to do.
|
|
|
1397
|
|
|
1398 ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give
|
|
|
1399 an error message when the argument isn't recognized.
|
|
|
1400
|
|
|
1401 In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in
|
|
|
1402 reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov)
|
|
|
1403
|
|
242
|
1404 When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now
|
|
|
1405 call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo)
|
|
323
|
1406 This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo.
|
|
242
|
1407
|
|
265
|
1408 GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right
|
|
|
1409 after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added
|
|
|
1410 win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size.
|
|
|
1411
|
|
|
1412 Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass
|
|
|
1413 column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits
|
|
|
1414 mouse column to 10000.
|
|
|
1415
|
|
|
1416 searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that
|
|
|
1417 we find the same position again and advance one character.
|
|
|
1418
|
|
|
1419 When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting
|
|
|
1420 to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window.
|
|
|
1421
|
|
271
|
1422 When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION
|
|
|
1423 prompt the argument index was advanced anyway.
|
|
|
1424
|
|
|
1425 When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous
|
|
|
1426 substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that.
|
|
|
1427
|
|
274
|
1428 Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also
|
|
|
1429 when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size
|
|
|
1430 checks where invoking them
|
|
|
1431
|
|
279
|
1432 ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't
|
|
|
1433 show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work.
|
|
|
1434
|
|
|
1435 When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded.
|
|
|
1436
|
|
|
1437 GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or
|
|
|
1438 removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we
|
|
|
1439 change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment.
|
|
|
1440 Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and
|
|
|
1441 'lines' to undo this.
|
|
|
1442
|
|
284
|
1443 After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with
|
|
|
1444 ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands.
|
|
|
1445
|
|
|
1446 When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N
|
|
|
1447 may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented
|
|
|
1448 character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer
|
|
|
1449 so that mapping is done in the right mode.
|
|
|
1450
|
|
337
|
1451 setbufvar() and setwinvar() did not give error messages.
|
|
|
1452
|
|
|
1453 It was possible to set a variable with an illegal name, e.g. with setbufvar().
|
|
344
|
1454 It was possible to define a function with illegal name, e.t. ":func F{-1}()"
|
|
|
1455
|
|
|
1456 CTRL-W F and "gf" didn't use the same method to get the file name.
|
|
337
|
1457
|
|
375
|
1458 When reporting a conversion error the line number of the last error could be
|
|
|
1459 given. Now report the first encountered error.
|
|
|
1460
|
|
|
1461 When using ":e ++enc=name file" and iconv() was used for conversion an error
|
|
591
|
1462 caused a fall-back to no conversion. Now replace a character with '?' and
|
|
375
|
1463 continue.
|
|
|
1464
|
|
404
|
1465 When opening a new buffer the local value of 'bomb' was not initialized from
|
|
|
1466 the global value.
|
|
|
1467
|
|
415
|
1468 Win32: When using the "Edit with Vim" entry the file name was limited to about
|
|
|
1469 200 characters.
|
|
|
1470
|
|
436
|
1471 When using command line completion for ":e *foo" and the file "+foo" exists
|
|
|
1472 the resulting command ":e +foo" doesn't work. Now insert a backslash: ":e
|
|
|
1473 \+foo".
|
|
|
1474
|
|
446
|
1475 When the translation of "-- More --" was not 10 characters long the following
|
|
|
1476 message would be in the wrong position.
|
|
|
1477
|
|
|
1478 At the more-prompt the last character in the last line wasn't drawn.
|
|
|
1479
|
|
|
1480 When deleting non-existing text while 'virtualedit' is set the '[ and '] marks
|
|
|
1481 were not set.
|
|
|
1482
|
|
462
|
1483 Win32: Could not use "**/" in 'path', it had to be "**\".
|
|
|
1484
|
|
481
|
1485 The search pattern "\n" did not match at the end of the last line.
|
|
|
1486
|
|
|
1487 Searching for a pattern backwards, starting on the NUL at the end of the line
|
|
|
1488 and 'encoding' is "utf-8" would match the pattern just before it incorrectly.
|
|
|
1489 Affected searchpair('/\*', '', '\*/').
|
|
|
1490
|
|
482
|
1491 For the Find/Replace dialog it was possible that not finding the text resulted
|
|
|
1492 in an error message while redrawing, which cleared the syntax highlighting
|
|
|
1493 while it was being used, resulting in a crash. Now don't clear syntax
|
|
|
1494 highlighting, disable it with b_syn_error.
|
|
|
1495
|
|
497
|
1496 Win32: Combining UTF-8 characters were drawn on the previous character.
|
|
|
1497 Could be noticed with a Thai font.
|
|
|
1498
|
|
507
|
1499 Output of ":function" could leave some of the typed text behind. (Yegappan
|
|
|
1500 Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
1501
|
|
511
|
1502 When the command line history has only a few lines the command line window
|
|
|
1503 would be opened with these lines above the first window line.
|
|
|
1504
|
|
|
1505 When using a command line window for search strings ":qa" would result in
|
|
|
1506 searching for "qa" instead of quitting all windows.
|
|
|
1507
|
|
520
|
1508 GUI: When scrolling with the scrollbar and there is a line that doesn't fit
|
|
|
1509 redrawing may fail. Make sure w_skipcol is valid before redrawing.
|
|
|
1510
|
|
534
|
1511 Limit the values of 'columns' and 'lines' to avoid an overflow in Rows *
|
|
|
1512 Columns. Fixed bad effects when running out of memory (command line would be
|
|
|
1513 reversed, ":qa!" resulted in ":!aq").
|
|
|
1514
|
|
557
|
1515 Motif: "gvim -iconic" opened the window anyway. (David Harrison)
|
|
|
1516
|
|
|
1517 There is a tiny chance that a symlink gets created between checking for an
|
|
|
1518 existing file and creating a file. Use the O_NOFOLLOW for open() if it's
|
|
|
1519 available.
|
|
|
1520
|
|
|
1521 In an empty line "ix<CTRL-O>0" moved the cursor to after the line instead of
|
|
|
1522 sticking to the first column.
|
|
|
1523
|
|
572
|
1524 When using ":wq" and a BufWriteCmd autocmd uses inputsecret() the text was
|
|
|
1525 echoed anyway. Set terminal to raw mode in getcmdline().
|
|
|
1526
|
|
580
|
1527 Unix: ":w a;b~c" caused an error in expanding wildcards.
|
|
|
1528
|
|
591
|
1529 When appending to a file with ":w >>fname" in a buffer without a name, causing
|
|
|
1530 the buffer to use "fname", the modified flag was reset.
|
|
|
1531
|
|
|
1532 When appending to to current file the "not edited" flag would be reset.
|
|
|
1533 ":w" would overwrite the file accidentally.
|
|
|
1534

1535 Unix: When filtering text with an external command Vim would still read input,
|
|
|
1536 causing text typed for the command (e.g., a password) to be eaten and echoed.
|
|
|
1537 Don't read input when the terminal is in cooked mode.

1539 The Cygwin version of xxd used CR/LF line separators. (Corinna Vinschen)
|
|
|
1540
|
|
|
1541 Unix: When filtering text through a shell command some resulting text may be
|
|
|
1542 dropped. Now after detecting that the child has exited try reading some more
|
|
|
1543 of its output.
|
|
|
1544
|
|
607
|
1545 When inside input(), using "CTRL-R =" and the expression throws an exception
|
|
|
1546 the command line was not abandoned but it wasn't used either. Now abandon
|
|
|
1547 typing the command line.
|
|
|
1548
|
|
610
|
1549 'delcombine' was also used in Visual and Select mode and for commands like
|
|
|
1550 "cl". That was illogical and has been disabled.
|
|
|
1551
|
|
|
1552 When recording while a CursorHold autocommand was defined special keys would
|
|
|
1553 appear in the register. Now the CursorHold event is not triggered while
|
|
|
1554 recording.
|
|
|
1555
|
|
615
|
1556 Unix: the src/configure script used ${srcdir-.}, not all shells understand
|
|
|
1557 that. Use ${srcdir:-.} instead.
|
|
|
1558
|
|
619
|
1559 When editing file "a" which is a symlink to file "b" that doesn't exist,
|
|
|
1560 writing file "a" to create "b" and then ":split b" resulted in two buffers on
|
|
|
1561 the same file with two different swapfile names. Now set the inode in the
|
|
|
1562 buffer when creating a new file.
|
|
|
1563
|
|
620
|
1564 When 'esckeys' is not set don't send the xterm code to request the version
|
|
|
1565 string, because it may cause trouble in Insert mode.
|
|
|
1566
|
|
|
1567 When evaluating an expression for CTRL-R = on the command line it was possible
|
|
632
|
1568 to call a function that opens a new window, resulting in errors for
|
|
634
|
1569 incremental search, and many other nasty things were possible. Now use the
|
|
|
1570 |textlock| to disallow changing the buffer or jumping to another window
|
|
625
|
1571 to protect from unexpected behavior. Same for CTRL-\ e.
|
|
620
|
1572
|
|
|
1573 "d(" deleted the character under the cursor, while the documentation specified
|
|
|
1574 an exclusive motion. Vi also doesn't delete the character under the cursor.
|
|
|
1575
|
|
|
1576 Shift-Insert in Insert mode could put the cursor before the last character
|
|
|
1577 when it just fits in the window. In coladvance() don't stop at the window
|
|
|
1578 edge when filling with spaces and when in Insert mode. In mswin.vim avoid
|
|
|
1579 getting a beep from the "l" command.
|
|
|
1580
|
|
625
|
1581 Win32 GUI: When Alt-F4 is used to close the window and Cancel is selected in
|
|
|
1582 the dialog then Vim would insert <M-F4> in the text. Now it's ignored.
|
|
|
1583
|
|
|
1584 When ":silent! {cmd}" caused the swap file dialog, which isn't displayed,
|
|
|
1585 there would still be a hit-enter prompt.
|
|
|
1586
|
|
626
|
1587 Requesting the termresponse (|t_RV|) early may cause problems with "-c"
|
|
|
1588 arguments that invoke an external command or even "-c quit". Postpone it
|
|
|
1589 until after executing "-c" arguments.
|
|
|
1590
|
|
|
1591 When typing in Insert mode so that a new line is started, using CTRL-G u to
|
|
|
1592 break undo and start a new change, then joining the lines with <BS> caused
|
|
|
1593 undo info to be missing. Now reset the insertion start point.
|
|
|
1594
|
|
|
1595 Syntax HL: When a region start match has a matchgroup and an offset that
|
|
|
1596 happens to be after the end of the line then it continued in the next line and
|
|
|
1597 stopped at the region end match, making the region continue after that.
|
|
|
1598 Now check for the column being past the end of the line in syn_add_end_off().
|
|
|
1599
|
|
630
|
1600 When changing a file, setting 'swapfile' off and then on again, making another
|
|
|
1601 change and killing Vim, then some blocks may be missing from the swapfile.
|
|
|
1602 When 'swapfile' is switched back on mark all blocks in the swapfile as dirty.
|
|
|
1603 Added mf_set_dirty().
|
|
|
1604
|
|
|
1605 Expanding wildcards in a command like ":e aap;<>!" didn't work. Put
|
|
|
1606 backslashes before characters that are special to the shell. (Adri Verhoef)
|
|
|
1607
|
|
632
|
1608 A CursorHold autocommand would cause a message to be cleared. Don't show the
|
|
|
1609 special key for the event for 'showcmd'.
|
|
|
1610
|
|
|
1611 When expanding a file name for a shell command, as in "!cmd foo<Tab>" or ":r
|
|
|
1612 !cmd foo<Tab>" also escape characters that are special for the shell:
|
|
|
1613 "!;&()<>".
|
|
|
1614
|
|
634
|
1615 When the name of the buffer was set by a ":r fname" command |cpo-f| no
|
|
|
1616 autocommands were triggered to notify about the change in the buffer list.
|
|
|
1617
|
|
|
1618 In the quickfix buffer 'bufhidden' was set to "delete", which caused closing
|
|
|
1619 the quickfix window to leave an unlisted "No Name" buffer behind every time.

1621 Win32: when using two screens of different size, setting 'lines' to a large
|
|
|
1622 value didn't fill the whole screen. (SungHyun Nam)
|
|
|
1623
|
|
640
|
1624 Win32 installer: The generated _vimrc contained an absolute path to diff.exe.
|
|
|
1625 After upgrading it becomes invalid. Now use $VIMRUNTIME instead.
|
|
|
1626
|
|
644
|
1627 The command line was cleared to often when 'showmode' was set and ":silent
|
|
|
1628 normal vy" was used. Don't clear the command line unless the mode was
|
|
|
1629 actually displayed. Added the "mode_displayed" variable.
|
|
|
1630
|
|
648
|
1631 The "load session" toolbar item could not handle a space or other special
|
|
|
1632 characters in v:this_session.
|
|
|
1633
|
|
|
1634 ":set sta ts=8 sw=4 sts=2" deleted 4 spaces halfway a line instead of 2.
|
|
|
1635
|
|
651
|
1636 In a multi-byte file the foldmarker could be recognized in the trail byte.

1639 Pasting with CTRL-V and menu didn't work properly when some commands are
|
|
|
1640 mapped. Use ":normal!" instead of ":normal". (Tony Apuzzo)
|
