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.
|
323
|
147 The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added.
|
|
148
|
|
149 The |[s| and |]s| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error.
|
|
150 The |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to add good and wrong words.
|
|
151 The |z?| command can be used to correct the word.
|
222
|
152
|
|
153 The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling
|
|
154 mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki).
|
|
155 The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and
|
|
156 background.
|
|
157 The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about
|
|
158 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined
|
301
|
159 with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax
|
|
160 highlighting.
|
222
|
161
|
|
162 Much more info here: |spell|.
|
|
163
|
|
164
|
14
|
165 KDE support *new-KDE*
|
11
|
166 -----------
|
|
167
|
|
168 Kvim is the KDE version of Vim. It uses the Qt toolkit. See |KVim|.
|
|
169 (Thomas Capricelli, Philippe Fremy, Mickael Marchand, Mark Westcott, et al.)
|
|
170
|
7
|
171
|
14
|
172 MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme*
|
|
173 ------------------
|
|
174
|
|
175 The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
|
|
176 The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands.
|
|
177 The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file.
|
|
178
|
97
|
179
|
15
|
180 Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte*
|
|
181 ------------------
|
|
182
|
|
183 The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters.
|
|
184 The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
|
|
185 Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams)
|
|
186
|
14
|
187
|
36
|
188 Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans*
|
|
189 -----------------------
|
|
190
|
|
191 The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
|
200
|
192 several other languages.
|
|
193
|
237
|
194 French - translated by David Blanchet
|
200
|
195 Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo
|
|
196 Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin
|
36
|
197
|
237
|
198 The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/,
|
|
199 .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no
|
|
200 standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file
|
|
201 is used there as a best guess.
|
|
202 Other languages are installed in similar places.
|
284
|
203 The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured
|
|
204 with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will
|
|
205 do it anyway.
|
40
|
206
|
36
|
207
|
43
|
208 Internal grep *new-vimgrep*
|
|
209 -------------
|
|
210
|
|
211 The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
|
|
212 This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides
|
|
213 better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
|
|
214 patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
|
|
215 |:vimgrep|.
|
|
216
|
170
|
217 If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the
|
231
|
218 |getqflist()| function.
|
170
|
219
|
43
|
220
|
164
|
221 POSIX compatibility *new-posix*
|
|
222 -------------------
|
|
223
|
|
224 The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of
|
|
225 problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them
|
|
226 conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment
|
|
227 variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|.
|
|
228
|
|
229 Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty:
|
|
230 - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to
|
|
231 'cpoptions' |cpo-X|
|
|
232 - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added
|
|
233 the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--|
|
|
234 - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the
|
|
235 '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&|
|
|
236 - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and
|
|
237 CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now
|
|
238 accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a
|
|
239 digit.
|
|
240 - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}.
|
|
241 - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in
|
|
242 'cpoptions'.
|
169
|
243 - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number".
|
|
244 - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified.
|
|
245 - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line
|
|
246 above or below the new lines.
|
|
247 - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command.
|
|
248 - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the
|
|
249 inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines.
|
|
250 - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each
|
|
251 matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line.
|
|
252 - The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but
|
|
253 redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do.
|
|
254 - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external
|
|
255 command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe").
|
|
256 - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed.
|
|
257 - The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before.
|
|
258 - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'.
|
|
259 - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert.
|
|
260 - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line.
|
|
261 - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and
|
|
262 CTRL-T cannot be handled then.
|
308
|
263 - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines.
|
|
264 - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started.
|
169
|
265 - Implemented the 'prompt' option.
|
164
|
266
|
|
267
|
192
|
268 Debugger support *new-debug-support*
|
|
269 ----------------
|
|
270
|
|
271 The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement
|
|
272 balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the
|
|
273 mouse pointer.
|
|
274
|
|
275
|
7

418 Nesting |/multi| items no longer is an error when an empty match is possible.
|
|
419
|
|
420 It is now possible to use \{0}, it matches the preceding atom zero times. Not

|
|
426 MuPAD source syntax, indent and ftplugin. (Dave Silvia)
|
|
427
|
22
|
428 ABAB/4 syntax file. (Marius van Wyk)
|
|
429
|
|
430 SQL-Informix syntax file. (Dean L Hill)

|
435
|
315
|
436 Pascal indent file. (Neil Carter)
|
|
437
|
234
|
438 Moved all the indent settings from the filetype plugin to the indent file.
|
|
439 Implemented b:undo_indent to undo indent settings when setting 'filetype' to a
|
|
440 different value.

|
456
|
10
|
457 Others: ~
|
|
458
|
|
459 Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and
|
|
460 character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns)
|
|
461 Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using
|
|
462 "yyp".
|

|
463
|
13
|
464 Mac: GUI font selector. (Peter "Rain Dog" Cucka)
|
|
465
|
169
|
466 Mac: support for multi-byte characters. (Da Woon Jung)
|
|
467
|
69
|
468 GUI font selector for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki)
|
46
|
469
|

|
470 Nicer toolbar buttons for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki)
|
|
471
|
69
|
472 Mnemonics for the Motif find/replace dialog. (Marcin Dalecki)
|
46
|
473
|
38
|
474 Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc
|
|
475 event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a
|
|
476 file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung)
|
|
477
|
11
|
478 The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used.
|
|
479 Deleting and renaming files is possible. (Charles Campbell)
|
|
480
|
36
|
481 Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode.
|
|
482 To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values,
|
|
483 they are not supported by termcap/terminfo.
|
|
484
|
40
|
485 Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work
|
|
486 when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See
|
|
487 |autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner)
|
|
488
|
179
|
489 For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized.

|
|
493 IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
|
|
494
|
10
|
495 ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
|
|
496
|
15
|
497 Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
|
|
498
|
181
|
499 The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an
|
|
500 iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in
|
|
501 allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows
|
|
502 matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that.
|
|
503
|
10
|
504 ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
|
|
505 breakpoint at the cursor.
|
|
506
|
11
|
507 The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a
|
|
508 few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.
|
7
|
509
|
12
|
510 Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
|
|
511 it. (Johannes Zellner)
|
|
512
|
13
|
513 Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)
|
|
514
|
17
|
515 Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that
|
|
516 doesn not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
|
|
517 autocommands.
|
|
518
|
14
|
519 For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
520 - square brackets are recognized properly
|
|
521 - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
|
|
522 - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized
|
|
523
|
19
|
524 Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)
|
|
525
|
20
|
526 winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
|
|
527 Lakshmanan)
|
|
528
|
|
529 Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
|
|
530
|
22
|
531 When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
|
|
532 delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
|
|
533 actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)
|
|
534
|
|
535 When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
|
|
536 Also support setting the filetype to "cdoxygen" for C plus doxygen syntax.
|
|
537 (Michael Geddes)
|
|
538
|
|
539 The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.
|
|
540
|
|
541 VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
|
|
542 upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
|
|
543 (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
544
|
23
|
545 For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
|
|
546 of buffers.
|
|
547
|
40
|
548 The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
|
|
549 have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
550
|
26
|
551 When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts
|
|
552 the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras)
|
|
553
|
|
554 Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
|
|
555 digraphs still work when iconv is not available.
|
|
556
|
36
|
557 When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
|
|
558 buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
|
|
559 list.
|
|
560
|
|
561 Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
|
|
562 (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)
|
|
563
|
|
564 When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
|
|
565 second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
|
|
566 line is just "/*".
|
|
567
|
39
|
568 When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
|
|
569 mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
|
|
570 edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to
|
|
571 the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The
|
|
572 used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
|
|
573 more reliable.
|
|
574
|
|
575 Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding'
|
|
576 in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
|
|
577 "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims
|
|
578 with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.
|
|
579
|
41
|
580 Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
|
|
581 incremented/decremented each time.
|
|
582
|
69
|
583 Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label
|
46
|
584 contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
|
|
585 a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.
|
|
586
|
56
|
587 When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.
|
|
588
|
100
|
589 Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.
|
|
590
|
284
|
591 ":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for
|
169
|
592 invalid characters after the register name. |:redir|
|
|
593
|
|
594 ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable.
|
|
595 (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir|
|
123
|
596
|
284
|
597 ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z.
|
|
598
|
294
|
599 The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose
|
|
600 messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to
|
|
601 log startup messages.
|
|
602
|
123
|
603 ":let g:" lists global variables.
|
|
604 ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables.
|
|
605 ":let w:" lists window-local variables.
|
|
606 ":let v:" lists Vim variables.
|
|
607
|
149
|
608 The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
|
|
609 searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
136
|
610
|
284
|
611 The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression
|
|
612 for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it.
|
|
613
|
|
614 The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When
|
|
615 the line number is just below the last line the line is appended.
|
|
616
|
162
|
617 g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of
|
|
618 bytes.
|
|
619
|
169
|
620 Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip
|
|
621 ":" between range and command name. (Peter winters)
|
|
622
|
|
623 CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was
|
|
624 ignored.
|
|
625
|
|
626 When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep
|
|
627 will result in a message with the source of the error.
|
|
628
|
170
|
629 When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that
|
|
630 ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c".
|
|
631
|
|
632 To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has
|
|
633 been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|.
|
|
634
|
175
|
635 The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for
|
179
|
636 'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin".
|
|
637
|
|
638 The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason|
|
|
639 variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used
|
|
640 to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do.
|
175
|
641
|
181
|
642 Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the
|
|
643 possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character
|
|
644 and the * stands for the modifier code.
|
|
645 Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize
|
|
646 the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible
|
|
647 modifiers.
|
|
648
|
218
|
649 getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified
|
|
650 window.
|
|
651
|
234
|
652 Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
653
|
271
|
654 GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by
|
|
655 Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb.
|
|
656
|
323
|
657 Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were
|
|
658 used.

|
661 COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
|
|
662
|
69
|
663 Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and
|
|
664 probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
|
|
665 and merge it back in.
|
|
666
|
18
|
667 Mac: "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to
|
|
668 its final destination. (Raf)
|
|
669
|
|
670 Mac: Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and
|
|
671 still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c
|
|
672 file.
|
7
|
673
|
169
|
674 When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the
|
|
675 following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory.
|

|
|
678 BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
|
|
679
|
10
|
680 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
|
|
681 instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
|
|
682 work. Use "LPT1" then.
|
|
683
|
|
684 The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
|
|
685 size. Use a default size of 10.
|
|
686
|
|
687 This example in the documentation didn't work:
|
|
688 :e `=foo . ".c" `
|
|
689 Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
|
|
690
|
|
691 When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
|
|
692
|
|
693 "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
|
|
694
|
|
695 Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
|
|
696 when it doesn't support MDI.
|
|
697
|
|
698 Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
|
|
699
|
|
700 "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
|
|
701 space.
|
|
702
|
|
703 Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
|
|
704 SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
|
|
705 for doesn't have an extension.
|
|
706
|
|
707 When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
|
|
708 may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
|
|
709 cursor and not putting it back where it was.

|
710
|
|
711 When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
|
|
712 not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
|
|
713 to make it work the old way.
|
|
714
|
|
715 When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
|
|
716 filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
|
|
717
|
|
718 After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
|
|
719
|
|
720 Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
|
|
721 fields. (Walter Briscoe)

723 On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
|

|
726 Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a
|
|
727 CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)
|
|
728
|
16
|
729 When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
|
|
730 ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.
|
|
731
|
|
732 Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
|
|
733 characters.
|
|
734
|
17
|
735 When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
|
|
736 variables like for a regular command with a file argument.
|
|
737
|
|
738 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
|
|
739 is indented too much.
|
|
740
|
|
741 When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
|
|
742 alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
|
|
743 items.
|
|
744
|
170
|
745 Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the
|
|
746 active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME.
|
|
747
|
18
|
748 The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use
|
|
749 "cn" or "tw" as intended.
|
|
750
|
20
|
751 When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
|
|
752 after the last line while it's not there.
|
|
753
|
|
754 Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when
|
|
755 resizing the GUI shell upon startup.
|
|
756
|
|
757 Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a
|
|
758 string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored.
|
|
759
|
21
|
760 When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
|
|
761 contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre
|
|
762 and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.
|
|
763
|
22
|
764 strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)
|
|
765
|
|
766 GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
|
|
767 just before it is invoked
|
|
768
|
|
769 VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of
|
|
770 environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
771
|
|
772 UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
|
|
773 from the first character of the word.
|
|
774
|
|
775 When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
|
|
776 detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().
|
|
777
|
|
778 When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
|
|
779 but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.
|
|
780
|
23
|
781 When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
|
|
782 list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow
|
|
783 interrupting this.
|
|
784
|
|
785 When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
|
|
786 used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options
|
|
787 and global options remain unmodified.
|
|
788
|
|
789 Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
|
|
790 command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the
|
|
791 file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.
|
|
792
|
24
|
793 Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
|
|
794 default value of 'isprint' was wrong.
|
|
795
|
|
796 When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
|
|
797 xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
|
|
798 line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.
|
|
799
|
26
|
800 Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.
|
|
801
|
|
802 When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
|
|
803 going to be used like a command.
|
|
804
|
|
805 GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
|
|
806 GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.
|
|
807
|
|
808 GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.
|
|
809
|
|
810 Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
|
|
811 line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the
|
|
812 console version.
|
|
813
|
|
814 Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
|
|
815 there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.
|
|
816
|
29
|
817 When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
|
|
818 files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
|
|
819 directory for the library early in the link flags.
|
|
820
|
|
821 With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
|
|
822 literal text. Now it works for any pattern.
|
|
823
|
36
|
824 When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
|
|
825 cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.
|
|
826
|
|
827 When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
|
|
828 buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.
|
|
829
|
|
830 Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
|
|
831 problems for Terminal.app.
|
|
832
|
|
833 When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
|
|
834 end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
|
|
835 argument.
|
|
836
|
|
837 When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
|
|
838 has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
|
|
839 back.
|
|
840
|
|
841 When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
|
|
842 was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
843
|
|
844 When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
|
|
845 "cancel", would still give an error message.
|
|
846
|
|
847 The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
|
|
848 mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.
|
|
849
|
|
850 Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
|
|
851 keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).
|
|
852
|
|
853 Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c
|
|
854
|
|
855 In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
|
|
856 selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break
|
|
857 is included, e.g., after "v$o".
|
|
858
|
|
859 GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a
|
|
860 GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)
|
|
861
|
|
862 After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.
|
|
863
|
|
864 When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While
|
|
865 doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott
|
38
|
866 Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
|
|
867 handle. Added handle_signal().
|
|
868
|
|
869 When using "set laststatus=2 cmdheight=2" in the .gvimrc you may only get one
|
|
870 line for the cmdline. (Christian Robinson) Invoke command_height() after the
|
|
871 GUI has started up.
|
36
|
872
|
39
|
873 When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
|
|
874 white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.
|
|
875
|
|
876 When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
|
|
877 long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent()
|
|
878 being found in a library.
|
|
879
|
|
880 When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
|
|
881 may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.
|
|
882
|
|
883 Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
|
|
884 is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)
|
|
885
|
|
886 When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
|
|
887 original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was
|
|
888 empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
|
|
889 be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
|
|
890 the values when recovering.
|
|
891
|
|
892 ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
|
|
893 message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.
|
|
894
|
40
|
895 Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and #
|
|
896 when building the ":drop" command.
|
|
897
|
41
|
898 A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized.
|
|
899 E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.
|
|
900
|
46
|
901 "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
|
|
902 does. Also breaks "das" on that dot.
|
|
903
|
|
904 When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
|
|
905 moved the cursor to another column.
|
|
906
|
|
907 When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
|
|
908 quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed
|
|
909 fold.
|
|
910
|
|
911 In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
|
|
912 break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".
|
|
913
|
69
|
914 Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki)
|
46
|
915
|
56
|
916 Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar
|
69
|
917 (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki)
|
56
|
918
|
51
|
919 When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
|
|
920 not included.
|
|
921
|
|
922 Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
|
|
923 Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.
|
|
924
|
|
925 When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
|
|
926 the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.
|
|
927
|
76
|
928 Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".
|
|
929
|
91
|
930 When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode
|
|
931 (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
|
|
932 mode. (Peter Winters)
|
|
933
|
97
|
934 "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.
|
|
935
|
100
|
936 Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
|
|
937 not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
|
109
|
938 Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'".
|
100
|
939
|
136
|
940 When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more
|
|
941 lines" overwrites the message.
|
|
942
|
|
943 Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.
|
|
944
|
141
|
945 When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
|
|
946 after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right
|
|
947 column in the wrong line.
|
|
948
|
149
|
949 When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
|
|
950 starts with "sl".
|
|
951
|
|
952 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear
|
|
953 'paste' when starting the GUI.
|
|
954
|
155
|
955 A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL.
|
|
956
|
159
|
957 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode.
|
|
958 Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a
|
|
959 mapping.
|
|
960
|
|
961 Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato)
|
|
962
|
|
963 ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible.
|
|
964
|
162
|
965 When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice
|
|
966 in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed.
|
|
967
|
|
968 When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an
|
|
969 empty $SHELL value.
|
|
970
|
|
971 A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty
|
|
972 file.
|
|
973
|
|
974 When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still
|
|
975 moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is.
|
|
976
|
|
977 When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put
|
|
978 the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This
|
|
979 is Vi compatible.
|
|
980
|
164
|
981 Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior.
|
|
982 Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The
|
|
983 $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default.
|
|
984
|
|
985 Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>'
|
|
986 flag to 'cpoptions' for this.
|
|
987
|
|
988 Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi
|
|
989 compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this.
|
|
990
|
|
991 When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi
|
|
992 leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in
|
|
993 'cpoptions' for this.
|
|
994
|
|
995 Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append".
|
|
996
|
|
997 Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to
|
|
998 be Vi compatible.
|
|
999
|
|
1000 When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still
|
|
1001 request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the
|
|
1002 shell and caused trouble there.
|
|
1003
|
169
|
1004 When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would
|
|
1005 still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan
|
|
1006 Lakshmanan)
|
|
1007
|
|
1008 It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is
|
|
1009 sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command.
|
|
1010
|
170
|
1011 When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines
|
|
1012 from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim.
|
|
1013
|
|
1014 When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak.
|
|
1015
|
179
|
1016 Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use
|
|
1017 unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka)
|
|
1018
|
|
1019 ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
|
1020
|
192
|
1021 The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they
|
|
1022 are executed. Abiguous command names were not completed properly.
|
|
1023
|
197
|
1024 Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that
|
|
1025 indirectly invokes ":normal".
|
|
1026
|
|
1027 Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it
|
|
1028 before invoking "diff".
|
|
1029
|
200
|
1030 Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set
|
|
1031 &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters)
|
|
1032
|
|
1033 When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse
|
|
1034 locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another
|
|
1035 mouse model.
|
|
1036
|
206
|
1037 When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed
|
|
1038 characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event
|
|
1039 is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a
|
|
1040 character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer.
|
|
1041
|
|
1042 Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like
|
218
|
1043 ":1argadd *". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit".
|
206
|
1044
|
|
1045 Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US".
|
|
1046
|
218
|
1047 Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as
|
|
1048 real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit)
|
|
1049
|
|
1050 Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq"
|
|
1051 always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text.
|
|
1052
|
|
1053 When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype
|
|
1054 detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still
|
|
1055 compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been
|
|
1056 decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "*".
|
|
1057
|
|
1058 Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved
|
|
1059 to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`".
|
|
1060 Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line.
|
|
1061

|
1064 When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash.
|
|
1065 Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte.
|
|
1066
|
231
|
1067 In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global
|
|
1068 and reset it in nv_home().
|
|
1069
|
234
|
1070 Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around
|
|
1071 spaces inside backticks.
|

1072

237
|
1073 After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now
|
|
1074 let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted.
|
|
1075 This should be the most useful thing to do.
|
|
1076
|
|
1077 ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give
|
|
1078 an error message when the argument isn't recognized.

1080 In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in
|
|
1081 reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov)

1083 When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now
|
|
1084 call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo)
|

|
1085 This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo.

1087 GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right
|
|
1088 after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added
|
|
1089 win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size.
|
|
1090
|
|
1091 Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass
|
|
1092 column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits
|
|
1093 mouse column to 10000.
|
|
1094
|
|
1095 searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that
|
|
1096 we find the same position again and advance one character.
|
|
1097
|
|
1098 When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting
|
|
1099 to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window.
|
|
1100
|
271
|
1101 When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION
|
|
1102 prompt the argument index was advanced anyway.
|
|
1103
|
|
1104 When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous
|
|
1105 substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that.
|
|
1106
|
274
|
1107 Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also
|
|
1108 when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size
|
|
1109 checks where invoking them
|
|
1110
|
279
|
1111 ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't
|
|
1112 show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work.
|
|
1113
|
|
1114 When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded.

1115
|
|
1116 GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or
|
|
1117 removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we
|
|
1118 change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment.
|
|
1119 Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and
|
|
1120 'lines' to undo this.
|
|
1121
|
284
|
1122 After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with
|
|
1123 ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands.
|
|
1124
|
|
1125 When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N
|
|
1126 may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented
|
|
1127 character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer
|
|
1128 so that mapping is done in the right mode.
