34 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
|
|
141
|
37 run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0.
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer,
|
|
|
40 unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the
|
|
|
41 buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing
|
|
|
42 all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that
|
|
|
43 ":quit" fails now.
|
|
7
|
44
|
|
10
|
45 ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
|
|
|
46
|
|
39
|
47 In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file
|
|
|
48 name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping
|
|
|
49 double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi.
|
|
|
50 Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~
|
|
|
51 :edit foo\"888 'foo"888' 'foo"888'
|
|
|
52 :next foo\"888 'foo888' 'foo"888'
|
|
|
53 :next a\"b c\"d 'ab cd' 'a"b' and 'c"d'
|
|
|
54
|
|
100
|
55 In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one.
|
|
|
56 ":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it
|
|
|
57 results in "a'b".
|
|
|
58
|
|
10
|
59
|
|
|
60 Minor incompatibilities:
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
62 For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
|
|
|
63 */.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
65 ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
|
|
|
70 confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
|
7
|
71
|
|
29
|
72 When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name
|
|
|
73 isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name that are not useful.
|
|
|
74
|
|
|
75 The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML
|
|
|
76 looks like its displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR" if no
|
|
|
77 folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by Carl Osterwisch)
|
|
32
|
78 Diff mode now is also converted as it is displayed.
|
|
29
|
79
|
|
36
|
80 Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends
|
|
|
81 on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without
|
|
|
82 changing 'winaltkeys'.
|
|
|
83
|
|
100
|
84 When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which
|
|
|
85 is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to
|
|
|
86 avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010".
|
|
39
|
87
|
|
|
88 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings'
|
|
|
89 now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit
|
|
|
90 encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if
|
|
|
91 possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a
|
|
|
92 non-latin1 environment, such as Russian.
|
|
|
93
|
|
149
|
94 Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying
|
|
|
95 a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed.

98 NEW FEATURES *new-7*
|
|
|
99
|
|
116
|
100 Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script*
|
|
|
101 -----------------------
|
|
7
|
102
|
|
|
103 In Vim scripts the following types have been added:
|
|
|
104
|
|
97
|
105 List ordered list of items |List|
|
|
|
106 Dictionary associative array of items |Dictionary|
|
|
|
107 Funcref reference to a function |Funcref|
|
|
7
|
108
|
|
|
109 Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.
|
|
|
110
|
|
97
|
111 The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a
|
|
|
112 variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()|
|
|
|
113 can be used to turn the string back into the variable value.
|
|
|
114
|
|
116
|
115 The |:let| command can now use ":let var += expr" like using ":let var = var +
|
|
|
116 expr". "-=" and ".=" works in a similar way.
|
|
|
117
|
|
11
|
118
|
|
14
|
119 KDE support *new-KDE*
|
|
11
|
120 -----------
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
122 Kvim is the KDE version of Vim. It uses the Qt toolkit. See |KVim|.
|
|
|
123 (Thomas Capricelli, Philippe Fremy, Mickael Marchand, Mark Westcott, et al.)
|
|
|
124
|
|

|
125
|
|
14
|
126 MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme*
|
|
|
127 ------------------
|
|
|
128
|
|
|
129 The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
|
|
|
130 The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands.
|
|
|
131 The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file.
|
|
|
132
|
|
97
|
133
|
|
15
|
134 Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte*
|
|
|
135 ------------------
|
|
|
136
|
|
|
137 The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters.
|
|
|
138 The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
|
|
|
139 Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams)
|
|
|
140
|
|
14
|
141
|
|
36
|
142 Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans*
|
|
|
143 -----------------------
|
|
|
144
|
|
|
145 The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
|
|
|
146 Italian (translated by Antonio Colombo). More languages will follow.
|
|
|
147
|
|
40
|
148 The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/.
|
|
|
149
|
|
36
|
150
|
|
43
|
151 Internal grep *new-vimgrep*
|
|
|
152 -------------
|
|
|
153
|
|
|
154 The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
|
|
|
155 This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides
|
|
|
156 better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
|
|
|
157 patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
|
|
|
158 |:vimgrep|.

|
46
|
325
|
|
38
|
326 Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc
|
|
|
327 event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a
|
|
|
328 file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung)
|
|
|
329
|
|
11
|
330 The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used.
|
|
|
331 Deleting and renaming files is possible. (Charles Campbell)
|
|
|
332
|
|
36
|
333 Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode.
|
|
|
334 To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values,
|
|
|
335 they are not supported by termcap/terminfo.
|
|
|
336
|
|
40
|
337 Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work
|
|
|
338 when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See
|
|
|
339 |autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner)

342 IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
|
|
|
343
|
|
10
|
344 ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
|
|
|
345
|
|
15
|
346 Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
|
|
|
347
|
|
10
|
348 ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
|
|
|
349 breakpoint at the cursor.
|
|
|
350
|
|
11
|
351 The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a
|
|
|
352 few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.
|
|

|
353
|
|
12
|
354 Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
|
|
|
355 it. (Johannes Zellner)
|
|
|
356
|
|
13
|
357 Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)
|
|
|
358
|
|
17
|
359 Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that
|
|
|
360 doesn not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
|
|
|
361 autocommands.
|
|
|
362
|
|
14
|
363 For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
364 - square brackets are recognized properly
|
|
|
365 - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
|
|
|
366 - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized
|
|
|
367
|
|
19
|
368 Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)
|
|
|
369
|
|
20
|
370 winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
|
|
|
371 Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
372
|
|
|
373 Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
|
|
|
374
|
|
22
|
375 When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
|
|
|
376 delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
|
|
|
377 actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)
|
|
|
378
|
|
|
379 When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
|
|
|
380 Also support setting the filetype to "cdoxygen" for C plus doxygen syntax.
|
|
|
381 (Michael Geddes)
|
|
|
382
|
|
|
383 The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.
|
|
|
384
|
|
|
385 VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
|
|
|
386 upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
|
|
|
387 (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
|
388
|
|
23
|
389 For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
|
|
|
390 of buffers.
|
|
|
391
|
|
40
|
392 The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
|
|
|
393 have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
394
|
|
26
|
395 When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts
|
|
|
396 the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras)
|
|
|
397
|
|
|
398 Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
|
|
|
399 digraphs still work when iconv is not available.
|
|
|
400
|
|
36
|
401 When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
|
|
|
402 buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
|
|
|
403 list.
|
|
|
404
|
|
|
405 Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
|
|
|
406 (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)
|
|
|
407
|
|
|
408 When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
|
|
|
409 second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
|
|
|
410 line is just "/*".
|
|
|
411
|
|
39
|
412 When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
|
|
|
413 mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
|
|
|
414 edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to
|
|
|
415 the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The
|
|
|
416 used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
|
|
|
417 more reliable.
|
|
|
418
|
|
|
419 Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding'
|
|
|
420 in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
|
|
|
421 "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims
|
|
|
422 with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.
|
|
|
423
|
|
41
|
424 Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
|
|
|
425 incremented/decremented each time.
|
|
|
426
|
|
69
|
427 Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label
|
|
46
|
428 contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
|
|
|
429 a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.
|
|
|
430
|
|
56
|
431 When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.
|
|
|
432
|
|
100
|
433 Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.
|
|
|
434
|
|
123
|
435 ":redir @*>" and ":redir @+>" append to the clipboard. Better check for
|
|
|
436 invalid characters after the register name.
|
|
|
437
|
|
|
438 ":let g:" lists global variables.
|
|
|
439 ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables.
|
|
|
440 ":let w:" lists window-local variables.
|
|
|
441 ":let v:" lists Vim variables.
|
|
|
442
|
|
149
|
443 The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
|
|
|
444 searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
136
|
445
|
|
162
|
446 g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of
|
|
|
447 bytes.

450 COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
|
|
|
451
|
|
69
|
452 Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and
|
|
|
453 probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
|
|
|
454 and merge it back in.
|
|
|
455
|
|
18
|
456 Mac: "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to
|
|
|
457 its final destination. (Raf)
|
|
|
458
|
|
|
459 Mac: Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and
|
|
|
460 still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c
|
|
|
461 file.

|
464 BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
|
|
|
465
|
|
10
|
466 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
|
|
|
467 instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
|
|
|
468 work. Use "LPT1" then.
|
|
|
469
|
|
|
470 The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
|
|
|
471 size. Use a default size of 10.
|
|
|
472
|
|
|
473 This example in the documentation didn't work:
|
|
|
474 :e `=foo . ".c" `
|
|
|
475 Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
|
|
|
476
|
|
|
477 When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
|
|
|
478
|
|
|
479 "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
|
|
|
480
|
|
|
481 Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
|
|
|
482 when it doesn't support MDI.
|
|
|
483
|
|
|
484 Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
|
|
|
485
|
|
|
486 "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
|
|
|
487 space.
|
|
|
488
|
|
|
489 Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
|
|
|
490 SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
|
|
|
491 for doesn't have an extension.
|
|
|
492
|
|
|
493 When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
|
|
|
494 may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
|
|
|
495 cursor and not putting it back where it was.
|
|
|
496
|
|
|
497 When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
|
|
|
498 not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
|
|
|
499 to make it work the old way.
|
|
|
500
|
|
|
501 When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
|
|
|
502 filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
|
|
|
503
|
|
|
504 After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
|
|
|
505
|
|
|
506 Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
|
|
|
507 fields. (Walter Briscoe)
|
|
7
|
508
|
|
11
|
509 On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
|
|
|
510 Michele)
|
|
|
511
|
|
14
|
512 Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a
|
|
|
513 CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)
|
|
|
514
|
|
16
|
515 When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
|
|
|
516 ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.
|
|
|
517
|
|
|
518 Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
|
|
|
519 characters.
|
|
|
520
|
|
17
|
521 When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
|
|
|
522 variables like for a regular command with a file argument.
|
|
|
523
|
|
|
524 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
|
|
|
525 is indented too much.
|
|
|
526
|
|
|
527 When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
|
|
|
528 alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
|
|
|
529 items.
|
|
|
530
|
|
18
|
531 The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use
|
|
|
532 "cn" or "tw" as intended.
|
|
|
533
|
|
20
|
534 When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
|
|
|
535 after the last line while it's not there.
|
|
|
536
|
|
|
537 Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when
|
|
|
538 resizing the GUI shell upon startup.
|
|
|
539
|
|
|
540 Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a
|
|
|
541 string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored.
|
|
|
542
|
|
21
|
543 When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
|
|
|
544 contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre
|
|
|
545 and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.
|
|
|
546
|
|
22
|
547 strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)
|
|
|
548
|
|
|
549 GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
|
|
|
550 just before it is invoked
|
|
|
551
|
|
|
552 VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of
|
|
|
553 environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
|
554
|
|
|
555 UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
|
|
|
556 from the first character of the word.
|
|
|
557
|
|
|
558 When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
|
|
|
559 detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().
|
|
|
560
|
|
|
561 When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
|
|
|
562 but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.
|
|
|
563
|
|
23
|
564 When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
|
|
|
565 list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow
|
|
|
566 interrupting this.
|
|
|
567
|
|
|
568 When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
|
|
|
569 used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options
|
|
|
570 and global options remain unmodified.
|
|
|
571
|
|
|
572 Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
|
|
|
573 command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the
|
|
|
574 file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.
|
|
|
575
|
|
24
|
576 Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
|
|
|
577 default value of 'isprint' was wrong.
|
|
|
578
|
|
|
579 When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
|
|
|
580 xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
|
|
|
581 line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.
|
|
|
582
|
|
26
|
583 Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.
|
|
|
584
|
|
|
585 When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
|
|
|
586 going to be used like a command.
|
|
|
587
|
|
|
588 GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
|
|
|
589 GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.
|
|
|
590
|
|
|
591 GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.
|
|
|
592
|
|
|
593 Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
|
|
|
594 line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the
|
|
|
595 console version.
|
|
|
596
|
|
|
597 Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
|
|
|
598 there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.
|
|
|
599
|
|
29
|
600 When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
|
|
|
601 files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
|
|
|
602 directory for the library early in the link flags.
|
|
|
603
|
|
|
604 With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
|
|
|
605 literal text. Now it works for any pattern.
|
|
|
606
|
|
36
|
607 When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
|
|
|
608 cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.
|
|
|
609
|
|
|
610 When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
|
|
|
611 buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.
|
|
|
612
|
|
|
613 Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
|
|
|
614 problems for Terminal.app.
|
|
|
615
|
|
|
616 When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
|
|
|
617 end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
|
|
|
618 argument.
|
|
|
619
|
|
|
620 When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
|
|
|
621 has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
|
|
|
622 back.
|
|
|
623
|
|
|
624 When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
|
|
|
625 was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
626
|
|
|
627 When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
|
|
|
628 "cancel", would still give an error message.
|
|
|
629
|
|
|
630 The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
|
|
|
631 mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.
|
|
|
632
|
|
|
633 Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
|
|
|
634 keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).
|
|
|
635
|
|
|
636 Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c
|
|
|
637
|
|
|
638 In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
|
|
|
639 selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break
|
|
|
640 is included, e.g., after "v$o".
|
|
|
641
|
|
|
642 GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a
|

643 GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)
|
|
|
644
|
|
|
645 After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.
|
|
|
646
|
|
|
647 When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While
|
|
|
648 doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott
|
|
38
|
649 Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
|
|
|
650 handle. Added handle_signal().
|
|
|
651
|
|
|
652 When using "set laststatus=2 cmdheight=2" in the .gvimrc you may only get one
|
|
|
653 line for the cmdline. (Christian Robinson) Invoke command_height() after the
|
|
|
654 GUI has started up.
|
|
36
|
655
|
|
39
|
656 When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
|
|
|
657 white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.
|
|
|
658
|
|
|
659 When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
|
|
|
660 long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent()
|
|
|
661 being found in a library.
|
|
|
662
|
|
|
663 When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
|
|
|
664 may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.
|
|
|
665
|
|
|
666 Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
|
|
|
667 is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)
|
|
|
668
|
|
|
669 When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
|
|
|
670 original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was
|
|
|
671 empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
|
|
|
672 be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
|
|
|
673 the values when recovering.
|
|
|
674
|
|
|
675 ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
|
|
|
676 message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.
|
|
|
677
|
|
40
|
678 Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and #
|
|
|
679 when building the ":drop" command.
|
|
|
680
|
|
41
|
681 A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized.
|
|
|
682 E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.
|
|
|
683
|
|
46
|
684 "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
|
|
|
685 does. Also breaks "das" on that dot.
|
|
|
686
|
|
|
687 When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
|
|
|
688 moved the cursor to another column.
|
|
|
689
|
|
|
690 When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
|
|
|
691 quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed
|
|
|
692 fold.
|
|
|
693
|
|
|
694 In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
|
|
|
695 break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".

697 Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki)
|
|
46
|
698
|
|
56
|
699 Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar
|
|
69
|
700 (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki)
|
|
56
|
701
|
|
51
|
702 When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
|
|
|
703 not included.
|
|
|
704
|
|
|
705 Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
|
|
|
706 Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.
|
|
|
707
|
|
|
708 When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
|
|
|
709 the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.
|
|
|
710
|
|
76
|
711 Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".
|
|
|
712
|
|
91
|
713 When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode
|
|
|
714 (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
|
|
|
715 mode. (Peter Winters)
|
|
|
716
|
|
97
|
717 "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.
|
|
|
718
|
|
100
|
719 Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
|
|
|
720 not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
|
|
109
|
721 Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'".
|
|
100
|
722
|
|
136
|
723 When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more
|
|
|
724 lines" overwrites the message.
|
|
|
725
|
|
|
726 Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.
|
|
|
727
|
|
141
|
728 When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
|
|
|
729 after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right
|
|
|
730 column in the wrong line.
|
|
|
731
|
|
149
|
732 When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
|
|
|
733 starts with "sl".
|
|
|
734
|
|
|
735 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear
|
|
|
736 'paste' when starting the GUI.
|
|
|
737
|
|
155
|
738 A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL.
|
|
|
739
|
|
159
|
740 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode.
|
|
|
741 Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a
|
|
|
742 mapping.
|
|
|
743
|
|
|
744 Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato)
|
|
|
745
|
|
|
746 ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible.
|
|
|
747
|
|
162
|
748 When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice
|
|
|
749 in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed.
|
|
|
750
|
|
|
751 When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an
|
|
|
752 empty $SHELL value.
|
|
|
753
|
|
|
754 A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty
|
|
|
755 file.
|
|
|
756
|
|
|
757 When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still
|
|
|
758 moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is.
|
|
|
759
|
|
|
760 When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put
|
|
|
761 the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This
|
|
|
762 is Vi compatible.
