| 7 This document lists the incompatible differences between Vim 3.0 and Vim 4.0. | |
| 8 Although 4.0 is mentioned here, this is also for version 4.1, 4.2, etc.. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 This file is important for everybody upgrading from Vim 3.0. Read it | |
| 11 carefully to avoid unexpected problems. | |

| 21 'errorformat' option changed |errorformat-changed| | |
| 22 'graphic' option gone |graphic-option-gone| | |

| 24 'icon' and 'title' default value changed |icon-changed| | |
| 25 'highlight' option changed |highlight-changed| | |
| 26 'tildeop' and 'weirdinvert' short names changed |short-name-changed| | |
| 27 Use of "v", "V" and "CTRL-V" in Visual mode |use-visual-cmds| | |
| 28 CTRL-B in Insert mode removed |toggle-revins| | |
| 29 | |
| 30 | |
| 31 'backup' option default changed *backup-changed* | |
| 32 ------------------------------- | |
| 33 | |
| 34 The default value for 'backup' used to be on. This resulted in a backup file | |
| 35 being made when the original file was overwritten. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 Now the default for 'backup' is off. As soon as the writing of the file has | |
| 38 successfully finished, the backup file is deleted. If you want to keep the | |
| 39 backup file, set 'backup' on in your vimrc. The reason for this change is | |
| 40 that many people complained that leaving a backup file behind is not | |
| 41 Vi-compatible. |'backup'| | |
| 42 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 Extension for backup file changed *backup-extension* | |
| 45 --------------------------------- | |
| 46 | |
| 47 The extension for the backup file used to be ".bak". Since other programs | |
| 48 also use this extension and some users make copies with this extension, it was | |
| 49 changed to the less obvious "~". Another advantage is that this takes less | |
| 50 space, which is useful when working on a system with short file names. For | |
| 51 example, on MS-DOS the backup files for "longfile.c" and "longfile.h" would | |
| 52 both become "longfile.bak"; now they will be "longfile.c~" and "longfile.h~". | |
| 53 | |
| 54 If you prefer to use ".bak", you can set the 'backupext' option: > | |
| 55 :set bex=.bak | |
| 56 | |
| 57 | |
| 58 Structure of swap file changed *swapfile-changed* | |
| 59 ------------------------------ | |
| 60 | |
| 61 The contents of the swap file were extended with several parameters. Vim | |
| 62 stores the user name and other information about the edited file to make | |
| 63 recovery more easy and to be able to know where the swap file comes from. The | |
| 64 first part of the swap file can now be understood on a machine with a | |
| 65 different byte order or sizeof(int). When you try to recover a file on such a | |
| 66 machine, you will get an error message that this is not possible. | |
| 67 | |
| 68 Because of this change, swap files cannot be exchanged between 3.0 and 4.0. | |
| 69 If you have a swap file from a crashed session with 3.0, use Vim 3.0 to | |
| 70 recover the file---don't use 4.0. |swap-file| | |
| 71 | |
| 72 | |
| 73 "-w scriptout" argument changed *scriptout-changed* | |
| 74 ------------------------------- | |
| 75 | |
| 76 "vim -w scriptout" used to append to the scriptout file. Since this was | |
| 77 illogical, it now creates a new file. An existing file is not overwritten | |
| 78 (to avoid destroying an existing file for those who rely on the appending). | |
| 79 [This was removed again later] |-w| | |
| 80 | |
| 81 | |
| 82 Backspace and Delete keys *backspace-delete* | |
| 83 ------------------------- | |
| 84 | |
| 85 In 3.0 both the delete key and the backspace key worked as a backspace in | |
| 86 insert mode; they deleted the character to the left of the cursor. In 4.0 the | |
| 87 delete key has a new function: it deletes the character under the cursor, just | |
| 88 like it does on the command-line. If the cursor is after the end of the line | |
| 89 and 'bs' is set, two lines are joined. |<Del>| |i_<Del>| | |
| 90 | |
| 91 In 3.0 the backspace key was always defined as CTRL-H and delete as CTRL-?. | |
| 92 In 4.0 the code for the backspace and delete key is obtained from termcap or | |
| 93 termlib, and adjusted for the "stty erase" value on Unix. This helps people | |
| 94 who define the erase character according to the keyboard they are working on. | |
| 95 |<BS>| |i_<BS>| | |
| 96 | |
| 97 If you prefer backspace and delete in Insert mode to have the old behavior, | |
| 98 put this line in your vimrc: | |
| 99 | |
| 100 inoremap ^? ^H | |
| 101 | |
| 102 And you may also want to add these, to fix the values for <BS> and <Del>: | |
| 103 | |
| 104 set t_kb=^H | |
| 105 set t_kD=^? | |
| 106 | |
| 107 (Enter ^H with CTRL-V CTRL-H and ^? with CTRL-V CTRL-? or <Del>.) | |
| 108 | |
| 109 If the value for t_kb is correct, but the t_kD value is not, use the ":fixdel" | |
| 110 command. It will set t_kD according to the value of t_kb. This is useful if | |
| 111 you are using several different terminals. |:fixdel| | |
| 112 | |
| 113 When ^H is not recognized as <BS> or <Del>, it is used like a backspace. | |
| 114 | |
| 115 | |
| 116 Escape for | changed *escape-bar* | |
| 117 -------------------- | |
| 118 | |
| 119 When the 'b' flag is present in 'cpoptions', the backslash cannot be used to | |
| 120 escape '|' in mapping and abbreviate commands, only CTRL-V can. This is | |
| 121 Vi-compatible. If you work in Vi-compatible mode and had used "\|" to include | |
| 122 a bar in a mapping, this needs to be replaced by "^V|". See |:bar|. | |
| 123 | |
| 124 | |
| 125 Key codes changed *key-codes-changed* | |
| 126 ----------------- | |
| 127 | |
| 128 The internal representation of key codes has changed dramatically. In 3.0 a | |
| 129 one-byte code was used to represent a key. This caused problems with | |
| 130 different characters sets that also used these codes. In 4.0 a three-byte | |
| 131 code is used that cannot be confused with a character. |key-notation| | |
| 132 | |
| 133 If you have used the single-byte key codes in your vimrc for mappings, you | |
| 134 will have to replace them with the 4.0 codes. Instead of using the three-byte | |
| 135 code directly, you should use the symbolic representation for this in <>. See | |
| 136 the table below. The table also lists the old name, as it was used in the 3.0 | |
| 137 documentation. | |
| 138 | |
| 139 The key names in <> can be used in mappings directly. This makes it possible | |
| 140 to copy/paste examples or type them literally. The <> notation has been | |
| 141 introduced for this |<>|. The 'B' and '<' flags must not be present in | |
| 142 'cpoptions' to enable this to work |'cpoptions'|. | |

| 198 Terminal options changed *termcap-changed* | |
| 199 ------------------------ | |
| 200 | |
| 201 The names of the terminal options have been changed to match the termcap names | |
| 202 of these options. All terminal options now have the name t_xx, where xx is | |
| 203 the termcap name. Normally these options are not used, unless you have a | |
| 204 termcap entry that is wrong or incomplete, or you have set the highlight | |
| 205 options to a different value. |terminal-options| | |
| 206 | |
| 207 Note that for some keys there is no termcap name. Use the <> type of name | |
| 208 instead, which is a good idea anyway. | |
| 209 | |
| 210 Note that "t_ti" has become "t_mr" (invert/reverse output) and "t_ts" has | |
| 211 become "t_ti" (init terminal mode). Be careful when you use "t_ti"! | |

| 271 t_undo t_&8 <Undo> undo key *t_undo* | |
| 272 | |
| 273 | |
| 274 'errorformat' option changed *errorformat-changed* | |
| 275 ---------------------------- | |
| 276 | |
| 277 'errorformat' can now contain several formats, separated by commas. The first | |
| 278 format that matches is used. The default values have been adjusted to catch | |
| 279 the most common formats. |errorformat| | |
| 280 | |
| 281 If you have a format that contains a comma, it needs to be preceded with a | |
| 282 backslash. Type two backslashes, because the ":set" command will eat one. | |
| 283 | |
| 284 | |
| 285 'graphic' option gone *graphic-option-gone* | |
| 286 --------------------- | |
| 287 | |
| 288 The 'graphic' option was used to make the characters between <~> and 0xa0 | |
| 289 display directly on the screen. Now the 'isprint' option takes care of this | |
| 290 with many more possibilities. The default setting is the same; you only need | |
| 291 to look into this if you previously set the 'graphic' option in your vimrc. | |
| 292 |'isprint'| | |
| 293 | |
| 294 | |
| 295 'yankendofline' option gone *ye-option-gone* | |
| 296 --------------------------- | |
| 297 | |
| 298 The 'yankendofline' option has been removed. Instead you can just use | |
| 299 :map Y y$ | |
| 300 | |
| 301 | |
| 302 'icon' and 'title' default value changed *icon-changed* | |
| 303 ---------------------------------------- | |
| 304 | |
| 305 The 'title' option is now only set by default if the original title can be | |
| 306 restored. Avoids "Thanks for flying Vim" titles. If you want them anyway, | |
| 307 put ":set title" in your vimrc. |'title'| | |
| 308 | |
| 309 The default for 'icon' now depends on the possibility of restoring the | |
| 310 original value, just like 'title'. If you don't like your icon titles to be | |
| 311 changed, add this line to your vimrc: |'icon'| | |
| 312 :set noicon | |
| 313 | |
| 314 | |
| 315 'highlight' option changed *highlight-changed* | |
| 316 -------------------------- | |
| 317 | |
| 318 The 'i' flag now means italic highlighting, instead of invert. The 'r' flag | |
| 319 is used for reverse highlighting, which is what 'i' used to be. Normally you | |
| 320 won't see the difference, because italic mode is not supported on most | |
| 321 terminals and reverse mode is used as a fallback. |'highlight'| | |
| 322 | |
| 323 When an occasion is not present in 'highlight', use the mode from the default | |
| 324 value for 'highlight', instead of reverse mode. | |
| 325 | |
| 326 | |
| 327 'tildeop' and 'weirdinvert' short names changed *short-name-changed* | |
| 328 ----------------------------------------------- | |
| 329 | |
| 330 Renamed 'to' (abbreviation for 'tildeop') to 'top'. |'tildeop'| | |
| 331 Renamed 'wi' (abbreviation for 'weirdinvert') to 'wiv'. |'weirdinvert'| | |
| 332 | |
| 333 This was done because Vi uses 'wi' as the short name for 'window' and 'to' as | |
| 334 the short name for 'timeout'. This means that if you try setting these | |
| 335 options, you won't get an error message, but the effect will be different. | |
| 336 | |
| 337 | |
| 338 Use of "v", "V" and "CTRL-V" in Visual mode *use-visual-cmds* | |
| 339 ------------------------------------------- | |
| 340 | |
| 341 In Visual mode, "v", "V", and "CTRL-V" used to end Visual mode. Now this | |
| 342 happens only if the Visual mode was in the corresponding type. Otherwise the | |
| 343 type of Visual mode is changed. Now only ESC can be used in all circumstances | |
| 344 to end Visual mode without doing anything. |v_V| | |
| 345 | |
| 346 | |
| 347 CTRL-B in Insert mode removed *toggle-revins* | |
| 348 ----------------------------- | |
| 349 | |
| 350 CTRL-B in Insert mode used to toggle the 'revins' option. If you don't know | |
| 351 this and accidentally hit CTRL-B, it is very difficult to find out how to undo | |
| 352 it. Since hardly anybody uses this feature, it is disabled by default. If | |
| 353 you want to use it, define RIGHTLEFT in feature.h before compiling. |'revins'| | |
