|
41 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
|
|
42
|
|
43 These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
|
141
|
44 run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0.
|
|
45
|
|
46 A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer,
|
|
47 unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the
|
|
48 buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing
|
|
49 all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that
|
|
50 ":quit" fails now.
|
7
|
51
|
10
|
52 ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
|
|
53
|
39
|
54 In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file
|
|
55 name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping
|
|
56 double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi.
|
|
57 Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~
|
|
58 :edit foo\"888 'foo"888' 'foo"888'
|
|
59 :next foo\"888 'foo888' 'foo"888'
|
|
60 :next a\"b c\"d 'ab cd' 'a"b' and 'c"d'
|
|
61
|
100
|
62 In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one.
|
|
63 ":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it
|
|
64 results in "a'b".
|
|
65
|
460
|
66 When overwriting a file with ":w! fname" there was no warning for when "fname"
|
|
67 was being edited by another Vim. Vim now gives an error message |E768|.
|
|
68
|
10
|
69
|
|
70 Minor incompatibilities:
|
|
71
|
|
72 For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
|
|
73 */.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
|
|
74
|
|
75 ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
|
|
76
|
|
77 Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
|
|
78
|
|
79 Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
|
|
80 confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
7
|
81
|
29
|
82 When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name
|
|
83 isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name that are not useful.
|
|
84
|
|
85 The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML
|
279
|
86 looks like its displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR", or
|
|
87 "let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by
|
|
88 Carl Osterwisch)
|
32
|
89 Diff mode now is also converted as it is displayed.
|
29
|
90
|
36
|
91 Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends
|
|
92 on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without
|
|
93 changing 'winaltkeys'.
|
|
94
|
100
|
95 When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which
|
|
96 is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to
|
|
97 avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010".
|
39
|
98
|
|
99 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings'
|
|
100 now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit
|
|
101 encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if
|
|
102 possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a
|
|
103 non-latin1 environment, such as Russian.
|
|
104
|
149
|
105 Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying
|
|
106 a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed.
|
|
107
|
164
|
108 "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit.
|
|
109 Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option.
|
|
110
|
181
|
111 Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the
|
|
112 disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since
|
|
113 you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally
|
|
114 translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>,
|
|
115 <xF1>, etc.
|
|
116
|
237
|
117 ":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line.
|
|
118
|
379
|
119 When a .gvimrc file exists then 'compatible' is off, just like when a ".vimrc"
|
|
120 file exists.
|
|

123 NEW FEATURES *new-7*
|
|
124
|
116
|
125 Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script*
|
|
126 -----------------------
|
7
|
127
|
|
128 In Vim scripts the following types have been added:
|
|
129
|
97
|
130 List ordered list of items |List|
|
|
131 Dictionary associative array of items |Dictionary|
|
|
132 Funcref reference to a function |Funcref|
|
7
|
133
|
|
134 Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.
|
|
135
|
97
|
136 The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a
|
|
137 variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()|
|
|
138 can be used to turn the string back into the variable value.
|
|
139
|
116
|
140 The |:let| command can now use ":let var += expr" like using ":let var = var +
|
|
141 expr". "-=" and ".=" works in a similar way.
|
|
142
|
175
|
143 With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script
|
|
144 wastes its time.
|
|
145
|
11
|
146
|
222
|
147 Spell checking *new-spell*
|
|
148 --------------
|
|
149
|
|
150 Spell checking has been integrated in Vim. There were a few implementations
|
|
151 with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program.
|
|
152
|
|
153 The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off.
|
|
154 The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the languages that are accepted.
|
323
|
155 The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added.
|
379
|
156 The 'spellsuggest' option specifies the methods used for making suggestions
|
323
|
157
|
|
158 The |[s| and |]s| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error.
|
|
159 The |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to add good and wrong words.
|
|
160 The |z?| command can be used to correct the word.
|
379
|
161 The |:mkspell| command is used to generate a Vim spell file from word lists.
|
222
|
162
|
|
163 The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling
|
|
164 mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki).
|
|
165 The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and
|
|
166 background.
|
|
167 The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about
|
|
168 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined
|
301
|
169 with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax
|
|
170 highlighting.
|
222
|
171
|
|
172 Much more info here: |spell|.
|
|
173
|
|
174
|
14
|
175 KDE support *new-KDE*
|
11
|
176 -----------
|
|
177
|
|
178 Kvim is the KDE version of Vim. It uses the Qt toolkit. See |KVim|.
|
|
179 (Thomas Capricelli, Philippe Fremy, Mickael Marchand, Mark Westcott, et al.)
|
|
180
|
7
|
181
|
14
|
182 MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme*
|
|
183 ------------------
|
|
184
|
|
185 The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
|
|
186 The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands.
|
|
187 The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file.
|
|
188
|
97
|
189
|
15
|
190 Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte*
|
|
191 ------------------
|
|
192
|
|
193 The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters.
|
|
194 The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
|
|
195 Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams)
|
|
196
|
14
|
197
|
36
|
198 Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans*
|
|
199 -----------------------
|
|
200
|
|
201 The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
|
200
|
202 several other languages.
|
|
203
|
237
|
204 French - translated by David Blanchet
|
200
|
205 Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo
|
|
206 Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin
|
36
|
207
|
237
|
208 The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/,
|
|
209 .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no
|
|
210 standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file
|
|
211 is used there as a best guess.
|
|
212 Other languages are installed in similar places.
|
284
|
213 The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured
|
|
214 with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will
|
|
215 do it anyway.
|
40
|
216
|
36
|
217
|
43
|
218 Internal grep *new-vimgrep*
|
|
219 -------------
|
|
220
|
|
221 The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
|
|
222 This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides
|
|
223 better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
|
|
224 patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
|
|
225 |:vimgrep|.
|
|
226
|
170
|
227 If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the
|
231
|
228 |getqflist()| function.
|
170
|
229
|
445
|
230 To search in files in various directories the "**" pattern can be used. It
|
|
231 expands into an arbitrary depth of directories. "**" can be used in all
|
|
232 places where file names are expanded, thus also with |:next| and |:args|.
|
|
233
|
43
|
234
|
446
|
235 Scroll back in messages *new-scroll-back*
|
|
236 -----------------------
|
|
237
|
|
238 When displaying messages, at the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, The
|
|
239 'k', 'u' and 'b' keys can be used to scroll back to previous messages. This
|
|
240 is especially useful for commands such as ":syntax", ":autocommand" and
|
|
241 ":highlight". This is implemented in a generic way thus it works for all
|
|
242 commands and highlighting is kept. Only works when the 'more' option is set.
|
|
243 Previously it only partly worked for ":clist".
|
|
244
|
448
|
245 The |g<| command can be used to see the last page of messages after you have
|
|
246 hit <Enter> at the |hit-enter-prompt|. Then you can scroll further back.
|
|
247
|
446
|
248
|
164
|
249 POSIX compatibility *new-posix*
|
|
250 -------------------
|
|
251
|
|
252 The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of
|
|
253 problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them
|
|
254 conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment
|
|
255 variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|.
|
|
256
|
|
257 Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty:
|
|
258 - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to
|
|
259 'cpoptions' |cpo-X|
|
|
260 - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added
|
|
261 the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--|
|
|
262 - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the
|
|
263 '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&|
|
|
264 - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and
|
|
265 CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now
|
|
266 accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a
|
|
267 digit.
|
|
268 - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}.
|
|
269 - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in
|
|
270 'cpoptions'.
|
169
|
271 - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number".
|
|
272 - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified.
|
|
273 - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line
|
|
274 above or below the new lines.
|
|
275 - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command.
|
|
276 - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the
|
|
277 inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines.
|
|
278 - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each
|
|
279 matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line.
|
|
280 - The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but
|
|
281 redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do.
|
|
282 - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external
|
|
283 command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe").
|
|
284 - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed.
|
|
285 - The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before.
|
|
286 - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'.
|
|
287 - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert.
|
|
288 - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line.
|
|
289 - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and
|
|
290 CTRL-T cannot be handled then.
|
308
|
291 - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines.
|
|
292 - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started.
|
169
|
293 - Implemented the 'prompt' option.
|
164
|
294
|
|
295
|
192
|
296 Debugger support *new-debug-support*
|
|
297 ----------------
|
|
298
|
|
299 The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement
|
|
300 balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the
|
|
301 mouse pointer.
|
|
302
|
|
303
|
462
|
304 Remote file explorer *new-netrw-explore*
|
|
305 --------------------
|
|
306
|
|
307 The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used.
|
|
308 Deleting and renaming files is possible.
|
|
309
|
|
310 To avoid duplicating a lot of code, the previous file explorer plugin has been
|
|
311 integrated in the netrw plugin. This means browsing local and remote files
|
|
312 works the same way.
|
|
313
|
|
314 ":browse edit" and ":browse split" use the netrw plugin when it's available
|
|
315 and a GUI dialog is not possible.
|
|
316
|
|
317 The netrw plugin is maintained by Charles Campbell.
|

|
|
488
|
|
489 It is now possible to use \{0}, it matches the preceding atom zero times. Not

|
24
|
491
|
|
492
|
12
|

|
419
|
509 Xquery syntax file. (Jean-Marc Vanel)
|
|
510
|
234
|
511 Moved all the indent settings from the filetype plugin to the indent file.
|
|
512 Implemented b:undo_indent to undo indent settings when setting 'filetype' to a
|
|
513 different value.
|
|
514
|
23
|
515
|
32
|
516 New Keymaps: ~

|
529
|
10
|
530 Others: ~
|
|
531
|

532 Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and
|
|
533 character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns)
|
|
534 Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using
|
|
535 "yyp".
|
7
|
536
|
13
|
537 Mac: GUI font selector. (Peter "Rain Dog" Cucka)

545 Mnemonics for the Motif find/replace dialog. (Marcin Dalecki)
|
46
|
546
|
38
|
547 Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc
|
|
548 event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a
|
|
549 file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung)
|
|
550
|
36
|
551 Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode.
|
|
552 To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values,
|
|
553 they are not supported by termcap/terminfo.
|
|
554
|
40
|
555 Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work
|
|
556 when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See
|
|
557 |autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner)
|
|
558
|
179
|
559 For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized.

562 When 'verbose' is set the output of ":highlight" will show where a highlight
|
|
563 item was last set.
|
482
|
564 When 'verbose' is set the output of ":map", ":command" and ":function"
|
|
565 commands will show where it was last defined. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

567 ==============================================================================
|
|
568 IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
|
|
569
|
10
|
570 ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
|
|
571
|
15
|
572 Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
|
|
573
|
181
|
574 The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an
|
|
575 iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in
|
|
576 allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows
|
|
577 matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that.
|
|
578
|
10
|
579 ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
|
|
580 breakpoint at the cursor.
|
|
581
|
11
|
582 The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a
|
|
583 few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.
|
7
|
584
|
12
|
585 Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
|
|
586 it. (Johannes Zellner)
|
|
587
|
13
|
588 Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)
|
|
589
|
17
|
590 Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that
|
|
591 doesn not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
|
|
592 autocommands.
|
|
593
|
14
|
594 For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
595 - square brackets are recognized properly
|
|
596 - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
|
|
597 - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized
|
|
598
|
19
|
599 Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)
|
|
600
|
20
|
601 winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
|
|
602 Lakshmanan)
|
|
603
|
|
604 Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
|
|
605
|
22
|
606 When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
|
|
607 delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
|
|
608 actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)
|
|
609
|
|
610 When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
|
|
611 Also support setting the filetype to "cdoxygen" for C plus doxygen syntax.
|
|
612 (Michael Geddes)
|
|
613
|
|
614 The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.
|
|
615
|
|
616 VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
|
|
617 upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
|
|
618 (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
619
|
23
|
620 For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
|
|
621 of buffers.
|
|
622
|
40
|
623 The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
|
|
624 have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
625
|
26
|
626 When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts
|
|
627 the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras)
|
|
628
|
|
629 Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
|
|
630 digraphs still work when iconv is not available.
|
|
631
|
36
|
632 When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
|
|
633 buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
|
|
634 list.
|
|
635
|
|
636 Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
|
|
637 (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)
|
|
638
|
|
639 When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
|
|
640 second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
|
|
641 line is just "/*".
|
|
642
|
39
|
643 When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
|
|
644 mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
|
|
645 edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to
|
|
646 the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The
|
|
647 used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
|
|
648 more reliable.
|
|
649
|
|
650 Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding'
|
|
651 in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
|
|
652 "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims
|
|
653 with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.
|
|
654
|
41
|
655 Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
|
|
656 incremented/decremented each time.
|
|
657
|
69
|
658 Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label
|
46
|
659 contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
|
|
660 a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.
|
|
661
|
56
|
662 When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.
|
|
663
|
100
|
664 Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.
|
|
665
|
284
|
666 ":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for
|
169
|
667 invalid characters after the register name. |:redir|
|
|
668
|
|
669 ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable.
|
|
670 (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir|
|
123
|
671
|
445
|
672 ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
284
|
673
|
294
|
674 The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose
|
|
675 messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to
|
|
676 log startup messages.
|
|
677
|
123
|
678 ":let g:" lists global variables.
|
|
679 ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables.
|
|
680 ":let w:" lists window-local variables.
|
|
681 ":let v:" lists Vim variables.
|
|
682
|
149
|
683 The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
|
|
684 searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
136
|
685
|
284
|
686 The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression
|
|
687 for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it.
|
|
688
|
|
689 The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When
|
|
690 the line number is just below the last line the line is appended.
|
|
691
|
162
|
692 g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of
|
|
693 bytes.
|
|
694
|
169
|
695 Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip
|
|
696 ":" between range and command name. (Peter winters)
|
|
697
|
|
698 CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was
|
|
699 ignored.
|
|
700
|
|
701 When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep
|
|
702 will result in a message with the source of the error.
|
|
703
|
170
|
704 When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that
|
|
705 ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c".
|
|
706
|
|
707 To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has
|
|
708 been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|.
|
|
709
|
175
|
710 The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for
|
179
|
711 'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin".
|
|
712
|
|
713 The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason|
|
|
714 variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used
|
|
715 to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do.
|
175
|
716
|
181
|
717 Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the
|
|
718 possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character
|
|
719 and the * stands for the modifier code.
|
|
720 Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize
|
|
721 the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible
|
|
722 modifiers.
|
|
723
|
218
|
724 getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified
|
|
725 window.
|
|
726
|
234
|
727 Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
728
|
271
|
729 GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by
|
|
730 Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb.
|
|
731
|
323
|
732 Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were
|
|
733 used.
|
|
734
|
333
|
735 Win32: If the user changes the setting for the number of lines a scroll wheel
|
|
736 click scrolls it is now used immediately. Previously Vim would need to be
|
|
737 restarted.
|
|
738
|
337
|
739 When using @= in an expression the value is expression @= contains. ":let @=
|
|
740 = value" can be used to set the register contents.
|
|
741
|
404
|
742 A ! can be added to ":popup" to have the popup menu appear at the mouse
|
|
743 pointer position instead of the text cursor.
|
|
744
|
408
|
745 The table with encodings has been expanded with many MS-Windows codepages,
|
|
746 such as cp1250 and cp737, so that these can also be used on Unix without
|
|
747 prepending "8bit-".
|
481
|
748 When an encoding name starts with "microsoft-cp" ignore the "microsoft-" part.
|
408
|
749
|
|
750 Added the "customlist" completion argument to a user-defined command. The
|
|
751 user-defined completion function should return the completion candidates as a
|
445
|
752 Vim List and the returned results are not filtered by Vim. (Yegappan
|
|
753 Lakshmanan)
|
408
|
754
|
436
|
755 Win32: Balloons can have multiple lines if common controls supports it.
|
|
756 (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
757
|
445
|
758 The 's' flag is added to the search() and searchpair() function to set the
|
|
759 ' mark if the cursor is moved. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
760
|
462
|
761 For 'errorformat' it was not possible to have a file name that contains the
|
|
762 character that follows after "%f". For example, in "%f:%l:%m" the file name
|
|
763 could not contain ":". Now include the first ":" where the rest of the
|
|
764 pattern matches. In the example a ":" not followed by a line number is
|
|
765 included in the file name. (suggested by Emanuele Giaquinta)
|
|
766
|
480
|
767 For command-line completion the matches for various types of arguments are now
|
|
768 sorted: user commands, variables, syntax names, etc.

771 COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
|
|
772
|
69
|
773 Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and
|
|
774 probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
|
|
775 and merge it back in.
|
|
776
|
18
|
777 Mac: "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to
|
|
778 its final destination. (Raf)
|
|
779
|
|
780 Mac: Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and
|
|
781 still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c
|
|
782 file.
|
7
|
783
|
169
|
784 When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the
|
|
785 following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory.
|
|
786
|
359
|
787 When compiling with EXITFREE defined and the ccmalloc library it is possible
|
|
788 to detect memory leaks. Some memory will always reported as leaked, such as
|
|
789 allocated by X11 library functions and the memory allocated in alloc_cmdbuff()
|
|
790 to store the ":quit" command.
|
|
791
|
445
|
792 Moved the code for printing to src/hardcopy.c.
|
|
793
|
|
794 Moved some code from main() to separate functions to make it easier to see
|
|
795 what is being done. Use a structure to avoid a lot of arguments to the
|
|
796 functions.
|
|
797
|
|
798 Moved unix_expandpath() to misc1.c, so that it can also be used by os_mac.c
|
|
799 without copying the code.

|
802 BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
|
|
803
|
10
|
804 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
|
|
805 instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
|
|
806 work. Use "LPT1" then.
|
|
807
|
|
808 The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
|
|
809 size. Use a default size of 10.
|
|
810
|
|
811 This example in the documentation didn't work:
|
|
812 :e `=foo . ".c" `
|
|
813 Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
|
|
814
|
|
815 When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
|
|
816
|
|
817 "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
|
|
818
|
|
819 Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
|
|
820 when it doesn't support MDI.
|
|
821
|
|
822 Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
|
|
823
|
|
824 "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
|
|
825 space.
|
|
826
|
|
827 Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
|
|
828 SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
|
|
829 for doesn't have an extension.
|
|
830
|
|
831 When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
|
|
832 may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
|
|
833 cursor and not putting it back where it was.
|
|
834
|
|
835 When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
|
|
836 not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
|
|
837 to make it work the old way.
|
|
838
|
|
839 When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
|
|
840 filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
|
|
841
|
|
842 After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
|
|
843
|
|
844 Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
|
|
845 fields. (Walter Briscoe)
|
7
|
846
|
11
|
847 On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
|
|
848 Michele)
|
|
849
|
14
|
850 Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a
|
|
851 CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)
|
|
852
|
16
|
853 When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
|
|
854 ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.
|
|
855
|
|
856 Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
|
480
|
857 characters. Also remove "'<,'>" when in Visual mode to avoid that it appears
|
|
858 twice.
|
16
|
859
|
17
|
860 When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
|
|
861 variables like for a regular command with a file argument.
|
|
862
|
|
863 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
|
|
864 is indented too much.
|
|
865
|
|
866 When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
|
|
867 alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
|
|
868 items.
|
|
869
|
170
|
870 Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the
|
|
871 active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME.
|
|
872
|
18
|
873 The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use
|
|
874 "cn" or "tw" as intended.
|
|
875
|
20
|
876 When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
|
|
877 after the last line while it's not there.
|
|
878
|
|
879 Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when
|
|
880 resizing the GUI shell upon startup.
|
|
881
|
|
882 Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a
|
|
883 string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored.
|
|
884
|
21
|
885 When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
|
|
886 contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre
|
|
887 and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.
|
|
888
|
22
|
889 strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)
|
|
890
|
|
891 GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
|
|
892 just before it is invoked
|
|
893
|
|
894 VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of
|
|
895 environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
896
|
|
897 UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
|
|
898 from the first character of the word.
|
|
899
|
|
900 When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
|
|
901 detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().
|
|
902
|
|
903 When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
|
|
904 but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.
|
|
905
|
23
|
906 When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
|
|
907 list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow
|
|
908 interrupting this.
|
|
909
|
|
910 When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
|
|
911 used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options
|
|
912 and global options remain unmodified.
|
|
913
|
|
914 Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
|
|
915 command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the
|
|
916 file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.
|
|
917
|
24
|
918 Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
|
|
919 default value of 'isprint' was wrong.
|
|
920
|
|
921 When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
|
|
922 xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
|
|
923 line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.
|
|
924
|
26
|
925 Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.
|
|
926
|
|
927 When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
|
|
928 going to be used like a command.
|
|
929
|
|
930 GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
|
|
931 GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.
|
|
932
|
|
933 GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.
|
|
934
|
|
935 Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
|
|
936 line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the
|
|
937 console version.
|
|
938
|
|
939 Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
|
|
940 there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.
|
|
941
|
29
|
942 When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
|
|
943 files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
|
|
944 directory for the library early in the link flags.
|
|
945
|
|
946 With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
|
|
947 literal text. Now it works for any pattern.
|
|
948
|
36
|
949 When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
|
|
950 cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.
|
|
951
|
|
952 When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
|
|
953 buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.
|
|
954
|
|
955 Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
|
|
956 problems for Terminal.app.
|
|
957
|
|
958 When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
|
|
959 end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
|
|
960 argument.
|
|
961
|
|
962 When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
|
|
963 has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
|
|
964 back.
|
|
965
|
|
966 When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
|
|
967 was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
968
|
|
969 When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
|
|
970 "cancel", would still give an error message.
|
|
971
|
|
972 The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
|
|
973 mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.
|
|
974
|
|
975 Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
|
|
976 keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).
|
|
977
|
|
978 Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c
|
|
979
|
|
980 In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
|
|
981 selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break
|
|
982 is included, e.g., after "v$o".
|
|
983
|
|
984 GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a
|
|
985 GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)
|
|
986
|
|
987 After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.
|
|
988
|
|
989 When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While
|
|
990 doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott
|
38
|
991 Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
|
|
992 handle. Added handle_signal().
|
|
993
|
|
994 When using "set laststatus=2 cmdheight=2" in the .gvimrc you may only get one
|
|
995 line for the cmdline. (Christian Robinson) Invoke command_height() after the
|
|
996 GUI has started up.
|
36
|
997
|
39
|
998 When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
|
|
999 white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.
|
|
1000
|
|
1001 When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
|
|
1002 long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent()
|
|
1003 being found in a library.
|
|
1004
|
|
1005 When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
|
|
1006 may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.
|
|
1007
|
|
1008 Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
|
|
1009 is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)
|
|
1010
|
|
1011 When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
|
|
1012 original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was
|
|
1013 empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
|
|
1014 be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
|
|
1015 the values when recovering.
|
|
1016
|
|
1017 ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
|
|
1018 message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.
|
|
1019
|
40
|
1020 Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and #
|
|
1021 when building the ":drop" command.
|
|
1022
|
41
|
1023 A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized.
|
|
1024 E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.
|
|
1025
|
46
|
1026 "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
|
|
1027 does. Also breaks "das" on that dot.
|
|
1028
|
|
1029 When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
|
|
1030 moved the cursor to another column.
|
|
1031
|
|
1032 When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
|
|
1033 quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed
|
|
1034 fold.
|
|
1035
|
|
1036 In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
|
|
1037 break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".
|
|
1038
|
69
|
1039 Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki)
|
46
|
1040
|
56
|
1041 Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar
|
69
|
1042 (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki)
|
56
|
1043
|
51
|
1044 When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
|
|
1045 not included.
|
|
1046
|
|
1047 Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
|
|
1048 Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.
|
|
1049
|
|
1050 When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
|
|
1051 the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.
|
|
1052
|
76
|
1053 Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".
|
|
1054
|
91
|
1055 When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode

1056 (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
|
|
1057 mode. (Peter Winters)
|
|
1058
|
97
|
1059 "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.
|
|
1060
|
100
|
1061 Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
|
|
1062 not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
|
109
|
1063 Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'".
|
100
|
1064
|
136
|
1065 When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more
|
|
1066 lines" overwrites the message.
|
|
1067
|
|
1068 Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.
|
|
1069
|
141
|
1070 When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
|
|
1071 after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right
|
|
1072 column in the wrong line.
|
|
1073
|
149
|
1074 When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
|
|
1075 starts with "sl".
|
|
1076
|
|
1077 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear
|
|
1078 'paste' when starting the GUI.
|
|
1079
|
155
|
1080 A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL.
|
|
1081
|
159
|
1082 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode.
|
|
1083 Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a
|
|
1084 mapping.
|
|
1085
|
|
1086 Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato)
|
|
1087
|
|
1088 ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible.
|
|
1089
|
162
|
1090 When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice
|
|
1091 in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed.
|
|
1092
|
|
1093 When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an
|
|
1094 empty $SHELL value.
|
|
1095
|
|
1096 A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty
|
|
1097 file.
|
|
1098
|
|
1099 When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still
|
|
1100 moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is.
|
|
1101
|
|
1102 When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put
|
|
1103 the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This
|
|
1104 is Vi compatible.
|
|
1105
|
164
|
1106 Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior.
|
|
1107 Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The
|
|
1108 $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default.
|
|
1109
|
|
1110 Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>'
|
|
1111 flag to 'cpoptions' for this.
|
|
1112
|
|
1113 Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi
|
|
1114 compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this.
|
|
1115
|
|
1116 When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi
|
|
1117 leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in
|
|
1118 'cpoptions' for this.
|
|
1119
|
|
1120 Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append".
|
|
1121
|
|
1122 Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to
|
|
1123 be Vi compatible.
|
|
1124
|
|
1125 When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still
|
|
1126 request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the
|
|
1127 shell and caused trouble there.
|
|
1128
|
169
|
1129 When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would
|
|
1130 still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan
|
|
1131 Lakshmanan)
|
|
1132
|
|
1133 It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is
|
|
1134 sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command.
|
|
1135
|
170
|
1136 When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines
|
|
1137 from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim.
|
|
1138
|
|
1139 When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak.
|
|
1140
|
179
|
1141 Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use
|
|
1142 unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka)
|
|
1143
|
|
1144 ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
|
1145
|
192
|
1146 The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they
|
|
1147 are executed. Abiguous command names were not completed properly.
|
|
1148
|
197
|
1149 Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that
|
|
1150 indirectly invokes ":normal".
|
|
1151
|
|
1152 Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it
|
|
1153 before invoking "diff".
|
|
1154
|
200
|
1155 Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set
|
|
1156 &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters)
|
|
1157
|
|
1158 When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse
|
|
1159 locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another
|
|
1160 mouse model.
|
|
1161
|
206
|
1162 When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed
|
|
1163 characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event
|
|
1164 is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a
|
|
1165 character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer.
|
|
1166
|
|
1167 Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like
|
218
|
1168 ":1argadd *". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit".
|
206
|
1169
|
|
1170 Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US".
|
|
1171
|
218
|
1172 Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as
|
|
1173 real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit)
|
|
1174
|
|
1175 Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq"
|
|
1176 always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text.
|
|
1177
|
|
1178 When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype
|
|
1179 detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still
|
|
1180 compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been
|
|
1181 decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "*".
|
|
1182
|
|
1183 Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved
|
|
1184 to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`".
|
|
1185 Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line.
|
|
1186
|
|
1187 "gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptable.
|
|
1188
|
222
|
1189 When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash.
|
|
1190 Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte.
|
|
1191
|
231
|
1192 In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global
|
|
1193 and reset it in nv_home().
|
|
1194
|
234
|
1195 Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around
|
|
1196 spaces inside backticks.
|
|
1197
|
237
|
1198 After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now
|
|
1199 let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted.
|
|
1200 This should be the most useful thing to do.
|
|
1201
|
|
1202 ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give
|
|
1203 an error message when the argument isn't recognized.
|
|
1204
|
|
1205 In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in
|
|
1206 reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov)
|
|
1207
|
242
|
1208 When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now
|
|
1209 call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo)
|
323
|
1210 This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo.
|
242
|
1211
|
265
|
1212 GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right
|
|
1213 after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added
|
|
1214 win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size.
|
|
1215
|
|
1216 Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass
|
|
1217 column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits
|
|
1218 mouse column to 10000.
|
|
1219
|
|
1220 searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that
|
|
1221 we find the same position again and advance one character.
|
|
1222
|
|
1223 When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting
|
|
1224 to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window.
|
|
1225
|
271
|
1226 When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION
|
|
1227 prompt the argument index was advanced anyway.
|
|
1228
|
|
1229 When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous
|
|
1230 substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that.
|
|
1231
|
274
|
1232 Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also
|
|
1233 when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size
|
|
1234 checks where invoking them
|
|
1235
|
279
|
1236 ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't
|
|
1237 show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work.
|
|
1238
|
|
1239 When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded.
|
|
1240
|
|
1241 GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or
|
|
1242 removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we
|
|
1243 change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment.
|
|
1244 Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and
|
|
1245 'lines' to undo this.
|
|
1246
|
284
|
1247 After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with
|
|
1248 ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands.
|
|
1249
|
|
1250 When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N
|
|
1251 may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented
|
|
1252 character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer
|
|
1253 so that mapping is done in the right mode.
|
|
1254
|
337
|
1255 setbufvar() and setwinvar() did not give error messages.
|
|
1256
|
|
1257 It was possible to set a variable with an illegal name, e.g. with setbufvar().
|
344
|
1258 It was possible to define a function with illegal name, e.t. ":func F{-1}()"
|
|
1259
|
|
1260 CTRL-W F and "gf" didn't use the same method to get the file name.
|
337
|
1261
|
375
|
1262 When reporting a conversion error the line number of the last error could be
|
|
1263 given. Now report the first encountered error.
|
|
1264
|
|
1265 When using ":e ++enc=name file" and iconv() was used for conversion an error
|
|
1266 caused a fallback to no conversion. Now replace a character with '?' and
|
|
1267 continue.
|
|
1268
|
404
|
1269 When opening a new buffer the local value of 'bomb' was not initialized from
|
|
1270 the global value.
|
|
1271
|
415
|
1272 Win32: When using the "Edit with Vim" entry the file name was limited to about
|
|
1273 200 characters.
|
|
1274
|
436
|
1275 When using command line completion for ":e *foo" and the file "+foo" exists
|
|
1276 the resulting command ":e +foo" doesn't work. Now insert a backslash: ":e
|
|
1277 \+foo".
|
|
1278
|
446
|
1279 When the translation of "-- More --" was not 10 characters long the following
|
|
1280 message would be in the wrong position.
|
|
1281
|
|
1282 At the more-prompt the last character in the last line wasn't drawn.
|
|
1283
|
|
1284 When deleting non-existing text while 'virtualedit' is set the '[ and '] marks
|
|
1285 were not set.
|
|
1286
|
462
|
1287 Win32: Could not use "**/" in 'path', it had to be "**\".
|
|
1288
|
481
|
1289 The search pattern "\n" did not match at the end of the last line.
|
|
1290
|
|
1291 Searching for a pattern backwards, starting on the NUL at the end of the line
|
|
1292 and 'encoding' is "utf-8" would match the pattern just before it incorrectly.
|
|
1293 Affected searchpair('/\*', '', '\*/').
|
|
1294
|
482
|
1295 For the Find/Replace dialog it was possible that not finding the text resulted
|
|
1296 in an error message while redrawing, which cleared the syntax highlighting
|
|
1297 while it was being used, resulting in a crash. Now don't clear syntax
|
|
1298 highlighting, disable it with b_syn_error.
