 							*known-bugs*
 -------------------- Known bugs and current work -----------------------
+Using chown() is unsafe. (Jinpeng Wei)
+ex_cmds.c: viminfo tempfile: use mch_open(O_EXCL) and fdopen()
+fileio.c: use fchown() instead of chown()
+vim.h: define O_NOFOLLOW if needed.  Not in Vim 6.4?
+Go over all changes between 6.3 and 6.4 and make sure they are included in 7.
+'statusline' is drawn over the Omni menu.
+Cygwin and Mac OS/X may preserve case for file names but ignore case
+differences.  Use Amiga code?
+"make unixall": remove split in floppy-size archives.
+To support mapping <F4> to be used as <F4>{motion}: Add operator that
+executes a user defined function. '[ and '] marks are at start and end of
+text.  ":map <F4> :set opfunc=MyOp<CR>gy".
+Patch from Yasuhiro Matsumoto: ":e ++enc=xxx" keeps encoding for conversion
+errors and illegal bytes.  How about replacing bytes with '?' or not?
 ccomplete:
 - When an option is set: In completion mode and the user types (identifier)
 characters, advance to the first match instead of removing the popup menu.
 If there is no match remove the selection. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
+- Complete the longest common match instead of the first match?
+- !_TAG_FILE_FORMAT and it's ilk are listed in the global completions
 - When completing something that is a structure, add the "." or "->".
 - When a typedef or struct is local to a file only use it in that file?
+- Window resize when poup is displayed
+- page-up / page-down
 spelling:
 - When a recognized word ends in a . don't have 'spellcapcheck" match it.
-- Use KEEPCASE instead of "KEP".  applies to affixes too.
+- Use KEEPCASE instead of "KEP".  It applies to the word including affixes
+Hunspell also uses it.
+- Hunspell has NOSUGGEST flag (use for obscene words?)
+- Check out Hunspell 1.1.2.
 - Look into hungarian dictionary:
 http://magyarispell.sourceforge.net/rc3-beta2.zip
+- Support breakpoint character · 0xb7 and ignore it?
+- Dutch word list should be available here: http://www.woordenlijst.org/
+8   Alternate Dutch word list at www.nederlandsewoorden.nl (use script to
+obtain).  But new Myspell wordlist will come (Hagen)
+- Finding suggestions with sound folding is slow.  Somehow store the
+sound-folded words and link to the words it comes from?
+When editing a file "a" that is a symbolic link to "b", while another Vim is
+editing "b", there is no warning.  Follow symlink to make swap file name?
+Patch from Stefano Zacchiroli.
+In diff mode deleting lines is very slow.  E.g., when diffing two .po files
+and then sourcing po/cleaup.vim.
+7   Add plugins for formatting.  Should be able to make a choice depending on
+the language of a file (English/Korean/Japanese/etc.).
+Setting the 'langformat' option to "chinese" would load the
+"format/chinese.vim" plugin.
+Edward L. Fox explains how it should be done for most Asian languages. (2005
+Nov 24)
 Mac unicode patch (Da Woon Jung):
 - selecting proportional font breaks display
 - UTF-8 text causes display problems.  Font replacement causes this.
 - Command-key mappings do not work. (Alan Schmitt)
 - Add default key mappings for the command key (Alan Schmitt)
 use http://macvim.org/OSX/files/gvimrc
 - With 'nopaste' pasting is wrong, with 'paste' Command-V doesn't work.
 (Alan Schmitt)
+Patch to add a few flags to search(). (Benji Fisher, Nov 22)
 Win32: Use the free downloadable compiler 7.1.  Figure out how to do debugging
 (with Agide?) and describe it. (George Reilly)
 Try out using the free MS compiler and debugger, using Make_mvc.mak.
+Win32: Check that installer puts menu items in "all users" dir when possible,
+not administrator dir.
 Autoload:
 - Add a Vim script in $VIMRUNTIME/tools that takes a file with a list of
 script names and a help file and produces a script that can be sourced to
 install the scripts in the user's directories.
 script autoload/mylib.vim
 script autoload/yourlib.vim
 helpfile doc/myscript.txt
 For the "helpfile" item ":helptags" is run.
-Add ":smap", Select mode mapping?
+Add ":smap", Select mode mapping?  Otherwise: ":sunmap", so that Visual mode
+mappings for normal keys can be removed from Select mode.
 Awaiting response:
 -   Win32: tearoff menu window should have a scrollbar when it's taller than
 the screen.
 -   mblen(NULL, 0) also in Vim 6.3?
 Separately develop the completion logic and the UI.  When adding UI stuff
 make it work for all completion methods.
 UI:
+- Complete longest common string first, like 'wildmode' "longest:full".
+- Add an "auto" mode: after typing a character (or string) completion is
+done for the longest common string.  plugin defines the possible
+characters/strings. (Martin Stubenschrott)
 - GUI implementation of the popup menu.
 - When using tags, show match in preview window (function prototype,
 struct member, etc.).
 Or use one window for matches, another for context/info (Doug Kearns,
 2005 Sep 13)
 -   EMBEDDING: Make it possible to run Vim inside a window of another program.
 For Xwindows this can be done with XReparentWindow().
 For GTK Neil Bird has a patch to use Vim like a widget.
 -   Add COLUMN NUMBERS to ":" commands ":line1,line2[col1,col2]cmd".  Block
 can be selected with CTRL-V.  Allow '$' (end of line) for col2.

 in terminal mode.
 -   ECLIPSE plugin.  Problem is: the interface is very complicated.  Need to
 implement part in Java and then connect to Vim.  Some hints from Alexandru
 Roman, 2004 Dec 15.  Should then also work with Oracle Jdeveloper, see JSR
 198 standard http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=198.
+Eclim does it: http://eclim.sourceforge.net/  (Eric Van Dewoestine)
 -   STICKY CURSOR: Add a way of scrolling that leaves the cursor where it is.
 Especially when using the scrollbar.  Typing a cursor-movement command
 scrolls back to where the cursor is.
 -   Execute a function with standard option values.  No need to save and
 restore option values.  Especially useful for new options.  Problem: how

 -	Patch for 'breakindent' option: repeat indent for wrapped line. (Vaclav
 	Smilauer, 2004 Sep 13, fix Oct 31)
 	Asked for improvements 2004 Dec 20.
 -   Patch from Herculano de Lima Einloft Neto for better formatting of the
 	quickfix window (2004 dec 2)
 7   When 'rightleft' is set, the search pattern should be displayed right
 	to left as well?  See patch of Dec 26. (Nadim Shaikli)
 8   Lock all used memory so that it doesn't get swapped to disk (uncrypted).
-	Patch by Jason Holt, 2003 May 23.
+	Patch by Jason Holt, 2003 May 23.  Uses mlock.
 7   Support a stronger encryption.  Jason Holt implemented AES (May 6 2003).
 7   Add ! register, for shell commands. (patch from Grenie)
 8   In the gzip plugin, also recognize *.gz.orig, *.gz.bak, etc.  Like it's
 	done for filetype detection.  Patch from Walter Briscoe, 2003 Jul 1.
 7   Add a "-@ filelist" argument: read file names from a file. (David
 8   OS/2: Add clipboard support?  See example clipbrd.exe from Alexander
 Wagner.
 8   OS/2: Add Extended Attributes support and define HAVE_ACL.
 8   OS/2: When editing a file name "foo.txt" that is actually called FOO.txt,
 writing uses "foo.txt".  Should obtain the real file name.
-8   Should $USERPROFILE be preferred above $HOMEDRIVE/$HOMEPATH?
+8   Should $USERPROFILE be preferred above $HOMEDRIVE/$HOMEPATH?  No, but it's
+a good fallback, thus use:
+	    $HOME
+	    $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH
+	    SHGetSpecialFolderPath(NULL, lpzsPath, CSIDL_APPDATA, FALSE);
+	    $USERPROFILE

 8   Win32 console: <M-Up> and <M-Down> don't work. (Geddes)  We don't have
 special keys for these.  Should use modifier + key.
 8   Win32 console: caps-lock makes non-alpha keys work like with shift.
 Should work like in the GUI version.

 author: Kevin Hendricks <kevin.hendricks@sympatico.ca>
 8   Make "en-rare" spell file?  Ask Charles Campbell.
 8   The English dictionaries for different regions are not consistent in their
 use of words with a dash.
-8   Alternate Dutch word list at www.nederlandsewoorden.nl (use script to
-obtain).  But new Myspell wordlist will come (Hagen)
 7   Insert mode completion mechanism that uses the spell word lists.
 8   Add hl groups to 'spelllang'?
 	:set spelllang=en_us,en-rare/SpellRare,en-math/SpellMath
 More complicated: Regions with different languages?  E.g., comments
 in English, strings in German (po file).
-8   Implement compound words when it works for Myspell.  Current idea has the
-problem that "foo/X" always allows "foofoo", there is no way to specify a
-word can only be at the start or end, or that only certain words combine.
 Diff mode:
 8   Use diff mode to show the changes made in a buffer (compared to the file).
 Use an unnamed buffer, like doing:
 	new | set bt=nofile | r # | 0d_ | diffthis | wincmd p | diffthis
+Also show difference with the file when editing started?  Should show what
+can be undone. (Tom Popovich)
 7   Add cursor-binding: when moving the cursor in one diff'ed buffer, also
 move it in other diff'ed buffers, so that CTRL-W commands go to the same
 location.
 allow spell checking. (Fleiner)
 8   When listing syntax items, try to sort the keywords alphabetically.  And
 re-insert the [] if possible.
 8   Make it possible to use color of text for Visual highlight group (like for
 the Cursor).
+8   It would be useful to make the highlight group name an expression.  Then
+when there is a match, the expression would be evaluated to find out what
+highlight group to use.  Could be used to check if the shell used in a
+password file appears in /etc/shells. (Nikolai Weibull)
+	syn match =s:checkShell(v:match) contained 'pattern'
 8   Make it possible to only highlight a sub-expression of a match.  Like
 using "\1" in a ":s" command.
 8   Support for deleting syntax items:
 :syn keyword cTodo remove this
 :syn match cTodo remove "pattern"
 that marks if the option was set.  Useful to keep the effect of setting
 'compatible' after ":syntax on" has been used.
 7   There is 'titleold', why is there no 'iconold'? (Chazelas)
 7   Make 'scrolloff' a global-local option, so that it can be different in the
 quickfix window, for example. (Gary Holloway)
-7   Add plugins for formatting.  Should be able to make a choice depending on
-the language of a file (English/Korean/Japanese/etc.).
 External commands:
 8   When filtering text, redirect stderr so that it can't mess up the screen
 and Vim doesn't need to redraw it.  Also for ":r !cmd".
 starts a new paragraph, use '<' flag when smaller indent starts a new
 paragraph.	Both start a new paragraph on any indent change.
 7   Add a way to define an item list with a pattern in 'formatoptions'.  The
 'n' flag doesn't work for "6.3" or "6a.".
 8   Add 'formatexpr' option: Used for formatting operator "gq" instead of the
-builtin formatting or 'formatprg'.
+builtin formatting or 'formatprg'.  Or use a string that starts with "="
+in 'formatprg': "=MyFormat()".
 8   Allow using a trailing space to signal a paragraph that continues on the
 next line (MIME text/plain; format=flowed, RFC 2646).  Can be used for
 continuous formatting.  Could use 'autoformat' option, which specifies a
 regexp which triggers auto-formatting (for one line).
 ":set autoformat=\\s$".
