30 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
|
|
|
33 run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0
|
|
|
34
|
|

|
35 ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 Minor incompatibilities:
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
|
|
|
41 */.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
|
|
|
48 confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".

87 Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and
|
|
|
88 character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns)
|
|
|
89 Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using
|
|
|
90 "yyp".

106 BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
|
|
|
107
|
|
10
|
108 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
|
|
|
109 instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
|
|
|
110 work. Use "LPT1" then.
|
|
|
111
|
|
|
112 The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
|
|
|
113 size. Use a default size of 10.
|
|
|
114
|
|
|
115 This example in the documentation didn't work:
|
|
|
116 :e `=foo . ".c" `
|
|
|
117 Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
|
|
|
118
|
|
|
119 When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
|
|
|
120
|
|
|
121 "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
|
|
|
122
|
|
|
123 Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
|
|
|
124 when it doesn't support MDI.
|
|
|
125
|
|
|
126 Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
|
|
|
127
|
|
|
128 "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
|
|
|
129 space.
|
|
|
130
|
|
|
131 Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
|
|
|
132 SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
|
|
|
133 for doesn't have an extension.
|
|
|
134
|
|
|
135 When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
|
|
|
136 may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
|
|
|
137 cursor and not putting it back where it was.
|
|
|
138
|
|
|
139 When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
|
|
|
140 not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
|
|
|
141 to make it work the old way.
|
|
|
142
|
|
|
143 When <Space> is mapped to something that starts with a space, typing <Space>
|
|
|
144 does not expand abbreviations. Only disable expanding abbreviations when a
|
|
|
145 mapping is not remapped, not when the RHS starts with the LHS.
|
|
|
146
|
|
|
147 When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
|
|
|
148 filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
|
|
|
149
|
|
|
150 After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
|
|
|
151
|
|
|
152 Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
|
|
|
153 fields. (Walter Briscoe)
