39 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
|
|
141
|
42 run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0.
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer,
|
|
|
45 unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the
|
|
|
46 buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing
|
|
|
47 all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that
|
|
|
48 ":quit" fails now.
|
|
7
|
49
|
|
10
|
50 ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
|
|
|
51
|
|
39
|
52 In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file
|
|
|
53 name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping
|
|
|
54 double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi.
|
|
|
55 Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~
|
|
|
56 :edit foo\"888 'foo"888' 'foo"888'
|
|
|
57 :next foo\"888 'foo888' 'foo"888'
|
|
|
58 :next a\"b c\"d 'ab cd' 'a"b' and 'c"d'
|
|
|
59
|
|
100
|
60 In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one.
|
|
|
61 ":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it
|
|
|
62 results in "a'b".
|
|
|
63
|
|
10
|
64
|
|
|
65 Minor incompatibilities:
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
|
|
|
68 */.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
|
|
|
69
|
|
|
70 ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
|
|
|
71
|
|
|
72 Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
|
|
|
73
|
|
|
74 Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
|
|
|
75 confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
|
7
|
76
|
|
29
|
77 When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name
|
|
|
78 isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name that are not useful.
|
|
|
79
|
|
|
80 The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML
|
|
279
|
81 looks like its displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR", or
|
|
|
82 "let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by
|
|
|
83 Carl Osterwisch)
|
|
32
|
84 Diff mode now is also converted as it is displayed.
|
|
29
|
85
|
|
36
|
86 Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends
|
|
|
87 on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without
|
|
|
88 changing 'winaltkeys'.
|
|
|
89
|
|
100
|
90 When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which
|
|
|
91 is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to
|
|
|
92 avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010".
|
|
39
|
93
|
|
|
94 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings'
|
|
|
95 now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit
|
|
|
96 encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if
|
|
|
97 possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a
|
|
|
98 non-latin1 environment, such as Russian.
|
|
|
99
|
|
149
|
100 Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying
|
|
|
101 a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed.
|
|
|
102
|
|
164
|
103 "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit.
|
|
|
104 Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option.
|
|
|
105
|
|
181
|
106 Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the
|
|
|
107 disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since
|
|
|
108 you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally
|
|
|
109 translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>,
|
|
|
110 <xF1>, etc.
|
|
|
111
|
|
237
|
112 ":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line.

115 NEW FEATURES *new-7*
|
|
|
116
|
|
116
|
117 Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script*
|
|
|
118 -----------------------
|
|
7
|
119
|
|
|
120 In Vim scripts the following types have been added:
|
|
|
121
|
|
97
|
122 List ordered list of items |List|
|
|
|
123 Dictionary associative array of items |Dictionary|
|
|
|
124 Funcref reference to a function |Funcref|
|
|
7
|
125
|
|
|
126 Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.
|
|
|
127
|
|
97
|
128 The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a
|
|
|
129 variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()|
|
|
|
130 can be used to turn the string back into the variable value.
|
|
|
131
|
|
116
|
132 The |:let| command can now use ":let var += expr" like using ":let var = var +
|
|
|
133 expr". "-=" and ".=" works in a similar way.
|
|
|
134
|
|
175
|
135 With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script
|
|
|
136 wastes its time.
|
|
|
137
|
|
11
|
138
|
|
222
|
139 Spell checking *new-spell*
|
|
|
140 --------------
|
|
|
141
|
|
|
142 Spell checking has been integrated in Vim. There were a few implementations
|
|
|
143 with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program.
|
|
|
144
|
|
|
145 The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off.
|
|
|
146 The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the languages that are accepted.
|
|
|
147
|
|
|
148 The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling
|
|
|
149 mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki).
|
|
|
150 The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and
|
|
|
151 background.
|
|
|
152 The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about
|
|
|
153 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined
|
|
301
|
154 with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax
|
|
|
155 highlighting.
|
|

160 KDE support *new-KDE*
|
|
11
|
161 -----------
|
|
|
162
|
|
|
163 Kvim is the KDE version of Vim. It uses the Qt toolkit. See |KVim|.

|
167 MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme*
|
|
|
168 ------------------
|
|
|
169
|
|
|
170 The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
|
|
|
171 The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands.
|
|
|
172 The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file.
|
|
|
173
|
|
97
|
174
|
|
15
|
175 Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte*
|
|
|
176 ------------------
|
|
|
177
|
|
|
178 The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters.
|
|
|
179 The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
|
|
|
180 Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams)
|
|
|
181
|
|
14
|
182
|
|
36
|
183 Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans*
|
|
|
184 -----------------------
|
|
|
185
|
|
|
186 The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
|
|
200
|
187 several other languages.
|
|
|
188
|
|
237
|
189 French - translated by David Blanchet
|
|
200
|
190 Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo
|
|
|
191 Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin
|
|
36
|
192
|
|
237
|
193 The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/,
|
|
|
194 .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no
|
|
|
195 standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file
|
|
|
196 is used there as a best guess.
|
|
|
197 Other languages are installed in similar places.
|
|
284
|
198 The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured
|
|
|
199 with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will
|
|
|
200 do it anyway.
|
|

|

|
|

|
202
|
|
43
|
203 Internal grep *new-vimgrep*
|
|
|
204 -------------
|
|
|
205
|
|
|
206 The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
|
|
|
207 This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides
|
|
|
208 better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
|
|
|
209 patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
|
|
|
210 |:vimgrep|.
|
|
|
211
|
|
170
|
212 If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the
|
|
231
|
213 |getqflist()| function.
|
|
170
|
214
|
|
43
|
215
|
|
164
|
216 POSIX compatibility *new-posix*
|
|
|
217 -------------------
|
|
|
218
|
|
|
219 The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of
|
|
|
220 problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them
|
|
|
221 conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment
|
|
|
222 variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|.
|
|
|
223
|
|
|
224 Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty:
|
|
|
225 - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to
|
|
|
226 'cpoptions' |cpo-X|
|
|
|
227 - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added
|
|
|
228 the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--|
|
|
|
229 - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the
|
|
|
230 '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&|
|
|
|
231 - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and
|
|
|
232 CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now
|
|
|
233 accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a
|
|
|
234 digit.
|
|
|
235 - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}.
|
|
|
236 - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in
|
|
|
237 'cpoptions'.
|
|
169
|
238 - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number".
|
|
|
239 - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified.
|
|
|
240 - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line
|
|
|
241 above or below the new lines.
|
|
|
242 - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command.
|
|
|
243 - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the
|
|
|
244 inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines.
|
|
|
245 - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each
|
|
|
246 matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line.
|
|
|
247 - The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but
|
|
|
248 redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do.
|
|
|
249 - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external
|
|
|
250 command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe").
|
|
|
251 - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed.
|
|
|
252 - The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before.
|
|
|
253 - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'.
|
|
|
254 - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert.
|
|
|
255 - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line.
|
|
|
256 - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and
|
|
|
257 CTRL-T cannot be handled then.
|
|
308
|
258 - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines.
|
|
|
259 - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started.
|
|
169
|
260 - Implemented the 'prompt' option.
|
|
164
|
261
|
|
|
262
|
|
192
|
263 Debugger support *new-debug-support*
|
|
|
264 ----------------
|
|
|
265
|
|
|
266 The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement
|
|
|
267 balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the
|
|
|
268 mouse pointer.

454 Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and
|
|
|
455 character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns)
|
|

38
|
469 Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc
|
|
|
470 event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a
|
|
|
471 file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung)

|
472
|
|

|
473 The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used.
|
|
|
474 Deleting and renaming files is possible. (Charles Campbell)
|
|
|
475
|
|
36
|
476 Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode.
|
|
|
477 To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values,
|
|
|
478 they are not supported by termcap/terminfo.
|
|
|
479
|
|
40
|
480 Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work

|
488 IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
|
|
|
489
|
|
10
|
490 ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
|
|
|
491
|
|
15
|
492 Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
|
|
|
493
|
|
181
|
494 The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an
|
|
|
495 iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in
|
|
|
496 allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows
|
|
|
497 matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that.
|
|
|
498
|
|
10
|
499 ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
|
|
|
500 breakpoint at the cursor.
|
|
|
501
|
|
11
|
502 The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a
|
|
|
503 few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.
|
|
7
|
504
|
|
12
|
505 Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
|
|
|
506 it. (Johannes Zellner)
|
|
|
507
|
|
13
|
508 Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)
|
|
|
509
|
|
17
|
510 Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that
|
|
|
511 doesn not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
|
|
|
512 autocommands.
|
|
|
513
|
|
14
|
514 For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
515 - square brackets are recognized properly
|
|
|
516 - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
|
|
|
517 - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized
|
|
|
518
|
|
19
|
519 Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)
|
|
|
520
|
|
20
|
521 winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
|
|
|
522 Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
523
|
|
|
524 Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
|
|
|
525
|
|
22
|
526 When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
|
|
|
527 delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
|
|
|
528 actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)
|
|
|
529
|
|
|
530 When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
|
|
|
531 Also support setting the filetype to "cdoxygen" for C plus doxygen syntax.
|
|
|
532 (Michael Geddes)
|
|
|
533
|
|
|
534 The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.
|
|
|
535
|
|
|
536 VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
|
|
|
537 upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
|
|
|
538 (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
|
539
|
|
23
|
540 For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
|
|
|
541 of buffers.
|
|
|
542
|
|
40
|
543 The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
|
|
|
544 have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
545
|
|
26
|
546 When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts
|
|
|
547 the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras)
|
|
|
548
|
|
|
549 Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
|
|
|
550 digraphs still work when iconv is not available.
|
|
|
551
|
|
36
|
552 When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
|
|
|
553 buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
|
|
|
554 list.
|
|
|
555
|
|
|
556 Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
|
|
|
557 (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)
|
|
|
558
|
|
|
559 When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
|
|
|
560 second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
|
|
|
561 line is just "/*".
|
|
|
562
|
|
39
|
563 When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
|
|
|
564 mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
|
|
|
565 edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to
|
|
|
566 the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The
|
|
|
567 used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
|
|
|
568 more reliable.
|
|
|
569
|
|
|
570 Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding'
|
|
|
571 in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
|
|
|
572 "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims
|
|
|
573 with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.
|
|
|
574
|
|
41
|
575 Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
|
|
|
576 incremented/decremented each time.
|
|
|
577
|
|
69
|
578 Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label
|
|
46
|
579 contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
|
|
|
580 a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.
|
|
|
581
|
|
56
|
582 When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.
|
|
|
583
|
|
100
|
584 Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.
|
|
|
585
|
|
284
|
586 ":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for
|
|
169
|
587 invalid characters after the register name. |:redir|
|
|
|
588
|
|
|
589 ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable.
|
|
|
590 (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir|
|
|
123
|
591
|
|
284
|
592 ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z.
|
|
|
593
|
|
294
|
594 The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose
|
|
|
595 messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to
|
|
|
596 log startup messages.
|
|
|
597
|
|
123
|
598 ":let g:" lists global variables.
|
|
|
599 ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables.
|
|
|
600 ":let w:" lists window-local variables.
|
|
|
601 ":let v:" lists Vim variables.
|
|
|
602
|
|
149
|
603 The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
|
|
|
604 searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
136
|
605
|
|
284
|
606 The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression
|
|
|
607 for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it.
|
|
|
608
|
|
|
609 The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When
|
|
|
610 the line number is just below the last line the line is appended.
|
|
|
611
|
|
162
|
612 g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of
|
|
|
613 bytes.
|
|
|
614
|
|
169
|
615 Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip
|
|
|
616 ":" between range and command name. (Peter winters)
|
|
|
617
|
|
|
618 CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was
|
|
|
619 ignored.
|
|
|
620
|
|
|
621 When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep
|
|
|
622 will result in a message with the source of the error.
|
|
|
623
|
|
170
|
624 When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that
|
|
|
625 ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c".
|
|
|
626
|
|
|
627 To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has
|
|
|
628 been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|.
|
|
|
629
|
|
175
|
630 The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for
|
|
179
|
631 'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin".
|
|
|
632
|
|
|
633 The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason|
|
|
|
634 variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used
|
|
|
635 to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do.
|
|
175
|
636
|
|
181
|
637 Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the
|
|
|
638 possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character
|
|
|
639 and the * stands for the modifier code.
|
|
|
640 Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize
|
|
|
641 the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible
|
|
|
642 modifiers.
|
|
|
643
|
|
218
|
644 getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified
|
|
|
645 window.
|
|
|
646
|
|
234
|
647 Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
648
|
|
271
|
649 GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by
|
|
|
650 Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb.

653 COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
|
|
|
654
|
|
69
|
655 Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and
|
|
|
656 probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
|
|
|
657 and merge it back in.
|
|
|
658
|
|
18
|
659 Mac: "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to
|
|
|
660 its final destination. (Raf)
|
|
|
661
|
|
|
662 Mac: Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and
|
|
|
663 still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c
|
|
|
664 file.
|
|
7
|
665
|
|
169
|
666 When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the
|
|
|
667 following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory.

670 BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
|
|
|
671
|
|
10
|
672 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
|
|
|
673 instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
|
|
|
674 work. Use "LPT1" then.
|
|
|
675
|
|
|
676 The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
|
|
|
677 size. Use a default size of 10.
|
|
|
678
|
|
|
679 This example in the documentation didn't work:
|
|
|
680 :e `=foo . ".c" `
|
|
|
681 Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
|
|
|
682
|
|
|
683 When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
|
|
|
684
|
|
|
685 "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
|
|
|
686
|
|
|
687 Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
|
|
|
688 when it doesn't support MDI.
|
|
|
689
|
|
|
690 Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
|
|
|
691
|
|
|
692 "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
|
|
|
693 space.
|
|
|
694
|
|
|
695 Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
|
|
|
696 SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
|
|
|
697 for doesn't have an extension.
|
|
|
698
|
|
|
699 When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
|
|
|
700 may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
|
|
|
701 cursor and not putting it back where it was.
|
|
|
702
|
|
|
703 When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
|
|
|
704 not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
|
|
|
705 to make it work the old way.
|
|
|
706
|
|
|
707 When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
|
|
|
708 filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
|
|
|
709
|
|
|
710 After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
|
|
|
711
|
|
|
712 Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
|
|
|
713 fields. (Walter Briscoe)
|
|
7
|
714
|
|
11
|
715 On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
|
|
|
716 Michele)
|
|
|
717
|
|
14
|
718 Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a
|
|
|
719 CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)
|
|
|
720
|
|
16
|
721 When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
|
|
|
722 ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.
|
|
|
723
|
|
|
724 Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
|
|
|
725 characters.
|
|
|
726
|
|
17
|
727 When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
|
|
|
728 variables like for a regular command with a file argument.
|
|
|
729
|
|
|
730 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
|
|
|
731 is indented too much.
|
|
|
732
|
|
|
733 When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
|
|
|
734 alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
|
|
|
735 items.
|
|
|
736
|
|
170
|
737 Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the
|
|
|
738 active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME.
|
|
|
739
|
|
18
|
740 The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use
|
|
|
741 "cn" or "tw" as intended.
|
|
|
742
|
|
20
|
743 When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
|
|
|
744 after the last line while it's not there.
|
|
|
745
|
|
|
746 Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when
|
|
|
747 resizing the GUI shell upon startup.
|
|
|
748
|
|
|
749 Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a
|
|
|
750 string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored.
|
|
|
751
|
|
21
|
752 When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
|
|
|
753 contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre
|
|
|
754 and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.
|
|
|
755
|
|
22
|
756 strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)
|
|
|
757
|
|
|
758 GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
|
|
|
759 just before it is invoked
|
|
|
760
|
|
|
761 VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of
|
|
|
762 environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
|
763
|
|
|
764 UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
|
|
|
765 from the first character of the word.
|
|
|
766
|
|
|
767 When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
|
|
|
768 detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().
|
|
|
769
|
|
|
770 When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
|
|
|
771 but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.
|
|
|
772
|
|
23
|
773 When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
|
|
|
774 list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow
|
|
|
775 interrupting this.
|
|
|
776
|
|
|
777 When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
|
|
|
778 used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options
|
|
|
779 and global options remain unmodified.
|
|
|
780
|
|
|
781 Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
|
|
|
782 command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the
|
|
|
783 file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.
|
|
|
784
|
|
24
|
785 Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
|
|
|
786 default value of 'isprint' was wrong.
|
|
|
787
|
|
|
788 When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
|
|
|
789 xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
|
|
|
790 line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.
|
|
|
791
|
|
26
|
792 Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.
|
|
|
793
|
|
|
794 When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
|
|
|
795 going to be used like a command.
|
|
|
796
|
|
|
797 GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
|
|
|
798 GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.
|
|
|
799
|
|
|
800 GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.
|
|
|
801
|
|
|
802 Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
|
|
|
803 line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the
|
|
|
804 console version.
|
|
|
805
|
|
|
806 Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
|
|
|
807 there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.
|
|
|
808
|
|
29
|
809 When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
|
|
|
810 files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
|
|
|
811 directory for the library early in the link flags.
|
|
|
812
|
|
|
813 With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
|
|
|
814 literal text. Now it works for any pattern.
|
|
|
815
|
|
36
|
816 When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
|
|
|
817 cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.
|
|
|
818
|
|
|
819 When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
|
|
|
820 buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.
|
|
|
821
|
|
|
822 Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
|
|
|
823 problems for Terminal.app.
|
|
|
824
|
|
|
825 When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
|
|
|
826 end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
|
|
|
827 argument.
|
|
|
828
|
|
|
829 When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
|
|
|
830 has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
|
|
|
831 back.
|
|
|
832
|
|
|
833 When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
|
|
|
834 was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
835
|
|
|
836 When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
|
|
|
837 "cancel", would still give an error message.
|
|
|
838
|
|
|
839 The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
|
|
|
840 mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.
|
|
|
841
|
|
|
842 Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
|
|
|
843 keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).
|
|
|
844
|
|
|
845 Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c
|
|
|
846
|
|
|
847 In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
|
|
|
848 selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break
|
|
|
849 is included, e.g., after "v$o".
|
|
|
850
|
|
|
851 GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a
|
|
|
852 GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)
|
|
|
853
|
|
|
854 After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.
|
|
|
855
|
|
|
856 When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While
|
|
|
857 doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott
|
|
38
|
858 Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
|
|
|
859 handle. Added handle_signal().
|
|
|
860
|
|
|
861 When using "set laststatus=2 cmdheight=2" in the .gvimrc you may only get one
|
|
|
862 line for the cmdline. (Christian Robinson) Invoke command_height() after the
|
|
|
863 GUI has started up.
|
|
36
|
864
|
|
39
|
865 When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
|
|
|
866 white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.
|
|
|
867
|
|
|
868 When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
|
|
|
869 long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent()
|
|
|
870 being found in a library.
|
|
|
871
|
|
|
872 When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
|
|
|
873 may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.
|
|
|
874
|
|
|
875 Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
|
|
|
876 is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)
|
|
|
877
|
|
|
878 When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
|
|
|
879 original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was
|
|
|
880 empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
|
|
|
881 be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
|
|
|
882 the values when recovering.
|
|
|
883
|
|
|
884 ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
|
|
|
885 message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.
|
|
|
886
|
|
40
|
887 Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and #
|
|
|
888 when building the ":drop" command.
|
|
|
889
|
|
41
|
890 A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized.
|
|
|
891 E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.
|
|
|
892
|
|
46
|
893 "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
|
|
|
894 does. Also breaks "das" on that dot.
|
|
|
895
|
|
|
896 When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
|
|
|
897 moved the cursor to another column.
|
|
|
898
|
|
|
899 When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
|
|
|
900 quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed
|
|
|
901 fold.
|
|
|
902
|
|
|
903 In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
|
|
|
904 break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".
|
|
|
905
|
|
69
|
906 Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki)
|
|
46
|
907
|
|
56
|
908 Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar
|
|
69
|
909 (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki)
|
|
56
|
910
|
|
51
|
911 When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
|
|
|
912 not included.
|
|
|
913
|
|
|
914 Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
|
|
|
915 Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.
|
|
|
916
|
|
|
917 When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
|
|
|
918 the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.
|
|
|
919
|
|
76
|
920 Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".
|
|
|
921
|
|
91
|
922 When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode
|
|
|
923 (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
|
|
|
924 mode. (Peter Winters)
|
|
|
925
|
|
97
|
926 "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.
|
|
|
927
|
|
100
|
928 Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
|
|
|
929 not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
|
|
109
|
930 Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'".
|
|
100
|
931
|
|
136
|
932 When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more
|
|
|
933 lines" overwrites the message.
|
|
|
934
|
|
|
935 Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.
|
|
|
936
|
|
141
|
937 When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
|
|
|
938 after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right
|
|
|
939 column in the wrong line.
|
|
|
940
|
|
149
|
941 When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
|
|
|
942 starts with "sl".
|

943
|
|
|
944 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear
|
|
|
945 'paste' when starting the GUI.
|
|
|
946
|
|
155
|
947 A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL.
|
|
|
948
|
|
159
|
949 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode.
|
|
|
950 Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a
|
|
|
951 mapping.
|
|
|
952
|
|
|
953 Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato)
|
|
|
954
|
|
|
955 ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible.
|
|
|
956
|
|
162
|
957 When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice
|
|
|
958 in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed.
|
|
|
959
|
|
|
960 When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an
|
|
|
961 empty $SHELL value.
|
|
|
962
|
|
|
963 A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty
|
|
|
964 file.
|
|
|
965
|
|
|
966 When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still
|
|
|
967 moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is.
|
|
|
968
|
|
|
969 When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put
|
|
|
970 the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This
|
|
|
971 is Vi compatible.
|
|
|
972
|
|
164
|
973 Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior.
|
|
|
974 Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The
|
|
|
975 $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default.
|
|
|
976
|
|
|
977 Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>'
|
|
|
978 flag to 'cpoptions' for this.
|
|
|
979
|
|
|
980 Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi
|
|
|
981 compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this.
|
|
|
982
|
|
|
983 When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi
|
|
|
984 leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in
|
|
|
985 'cpoptions' for this.
|
|
|
986
|
|
|
987 Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append".
|
|
|
988
|
|
|
989 Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to
|
|
|
990 be Vi compatible.
|
|
|
991
|
|
|
992 When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still
|
|
|
993 request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the
|
|
|
994 shell and caused trouble there.
|
|
|
995
|
|
169
|
996 When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would
|
|
|
997 still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan
|
|
|
998 Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
999
|
|
|
1000 It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is
|
|
|
1001 sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command.
|
|
|
1002
|
|
170
|
1003 When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines
|
|
|
1004 from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim.
|
|
|
1005
|
|
|
1006 When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak.
|
|
|
1007
|
|
179
|
1008 Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use
|
|
|
1009 unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka)
|
|
|
1010
|
|
|
1011 ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
|
|
1012
|
|
192
|
1013 The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they
|
|
|
1014 are executed. Abiguous command names were not completed properly.
|
|
|
1015
|
|
197
|
1016 Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that
|
|
|
1017 indirectly invokes ":normal".
|
|
|
1018
|
|
|
1019 Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it
|
|
|
1020 before invoking "diff".
|
|
|
1021
|
|
200
|
1022 Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set
|
|
|
1023 &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters)
|
|
|
1024
|
|
|
1025 When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse
|
|
|
1026 locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another
|
|
|
1027 mouse model.
|
|
|
1028
|
|
206
|
1029 When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed
|
|
|
1030 characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event
|
|
|
1031 is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a
|
|
|
1032 character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer.
|
|
|
1033
|
|
|
1034 Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like
|
|
218
|
1035 ":1argadd *". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit".
|
|
206
|
1036
|
|
|
1037 Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US".
|
|
|
1038
|
|
218
|
1039 Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as
|
|
|
1040 real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit)
|
|
|
1041
|
|
|
1042 Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq"
|
|
|
1043 always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text.
|
|
|
1044
|
|
|
1045 When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype
|
|
|
1046 detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still
|
|
|
1047 compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been
|
|
|
1048 decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "*".
|
|
|
1049
|
|
|
1050 Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved
|
|
|
1051 to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`".
|
|
|
1052 Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line.
|
|
|
1053
|
|
|
1054 "gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptable.
|
|
|
1055
|
|
222
|
1056 When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash.
|
|
|
1057 Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte.
|
|
|
1058
|
|
231
|
1059 In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global
|
|
|
1060 and reset it in nv_home().
|
|
|
1061
|
|
234
|
1062 Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around
|
|
|
1063 spaces inside backticks.
|
|
|
1064
|
|
237
|
1065 After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now
|
|
|
1066 let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted.
|
|
|
1067 This should be the most useful thing to do.
|
|
|
1068
|
|
|
1069 ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give
|
|
|
1070 an error message when the argument isn't recognized.
|
|
|
1071
|
|
|
1072 In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in
|
|
|
1073 reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov)
|
|
|
1074
|
|
242
|
1075 When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now
|
|
|
1076 call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo)
|
|
|
1077
|
|
265
|
1078 GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right
|
|
|
1079 after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added
|
|
|
1080 win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size.
|
|
|
1081
|
|
|
1082 Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass
|
|
|
1083 column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits
|
|
|
1084 mouse column to 10000.
|
|
|
1085
|
|
|
1086 searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that
|
|
|
1087 we find the same position again and advance one character.
|
|
|
1088
|
|
|
1089 When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting
|
|
|
1090 to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window.
|
|
|
1091
|
|
271
|
1092 When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION
|
|
|
1093 prompt the argument index was advanced anyway.
|
|
|
1094
|
|
|
1095 When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous
|
|
|
1096 substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that.
|
|
|
1097
|
|
274
|
1098 Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also
|
|
|
1099 when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size
|
|
|
1100 checks where invoking them
|
|
|
1101
|
|
279
|
1102 ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't
|
|
|
1103 show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work.
|
|
|
1104
|
|
|
1105 When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded.
|
|
|
1106
|
|
|
1107 GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or
|
|
|
1108 removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we
|
|
|
1109 change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment.
|
|
|
1110 Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and
|
|
|
1111 'lines' to undo this.
|
|
|
1112
|
|
284
|
1113 After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with
|
|
|
1114 ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands.
|
|
|
1115
|
|
|
1116 When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N
|
|
|
1117 may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented
|
|
|
1118 character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer
|
|
|
1119 so that mapping is done in the right mode.
