34 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
|
|
141
|
37 run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0.
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer,
|
|
|
40 unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the
|
|
|
41 buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing
|
|
|
42 all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that
|
|
|
43 ":quit" fails now.
|
|
7
|
44
|
|
10
|
45 ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
|
|
|
46
|
|
39
|
47 In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file
|
|
|
48 name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping
|
|
|
49 double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi.
|
|
|
50 Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~
|
|
|
51 :edit foo\"888 'foo"888' 'foo"888'
|
|
|
52 :next foo\"888 'foo888' 'foo"888'
|
|
|
53 :next a\"b c\"d 'ab cd' 'a"b' and 'c"d'
|
|
|
54
|
|
100
|
55 In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one.
|
|
|
56 ":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it
|
|
|
57 results in "a'b".
|
|
|
58
|
|
10
|
59
|
|
|
60 Minor incompatibilities:
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
62 For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
|
|
|
63 */.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
65 ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
|
|
|
70 confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".
|
|
7
|
71
|
|
29
|
72 When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name
|
|
|
73 isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name that are not useful.
|
|
|
74
|
|
|
75 The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML
|
|
|
76 looks like its displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR" if no
|
|
|
77 folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by Carl Osterwisch)
|
|
32
|
78 Diff mode now is also converted as it is displayed.
|
|
29
|
79
|
|
36
|
80 Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends
|
|
|
81 on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without
|
|
|
82 changing 'winaltkeys'.
|
|
|
83
|
|
100
|
84 When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which
|
|
|
85 is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to
|
|
|
86 avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010".
|
|
39
|
87
|
|
|
88 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings'
|
|
|
89 now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit
|
|
|
90 encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if
|
|
|
91 possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a
|
|
|
92 non-latin1 environment, such as Russian.
|
|
|
93
|
|
149
|
94 Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying
|
|
|
95 a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed.

98 NEW FEATURES *new-7*
|
|
|
99
|
|
116
|
100 Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script*
|
|
|
101 -----------------------
|
|
7
|
102
|
|
|
103 In Vim scripts the following types have been added:
|
|
|
104
|
|
97
|
105 List ordered list of items |List|
|
|
|
106 Dictionary associative array of items |Dictionary|
|
|
|
107 Funcref reference to a function |Funcref|
|
|
7
|
108
|
|
|
109 Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.
|
|
|
110
|
|
97
|
111 The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a
|
|
|
112 variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()|
|
|
|
113 can be used to turn the string back into the variable value.
|
|
|
114
|
|
116
|
115 The |:let| command can now use ":let var += expr" like using ":let var = var +
|
|
|
116 expr". "-=" and ".=" works in a similar way.
|
|
|
117
|
|
11
|
118
|
|
14
|
119 KDE support *new-KDE*
|
|
11
|
120 -----------
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
122 Kvim is the KDE version of Vim. It uses the Qt toolkit. See |KVim|.
|
|
|
123 (Thomas Capricelli, Philippe Fremy, Mickael Marchand, Mark Westcott, et al.)
|
|
|

|
125
|
|
14
|
126 MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme*
|
|
|
127 ------------------
|
|
|
128
|
|
|
129 The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
|
|
|
130 The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands.
|
|
|
131 The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file.
|
|
|
132
|
|
97
|
133
|
|
15
|
134 Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte*
|
|
|
135 ------------------
|
|
|
136
|
|
|
137 The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters.
|
|
|
138 The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
|
|
|
139 Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams)
|
|
|
140
|
|
14
|
141
|
|
36
|
142 Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans*
|
|
|
143 -----------------------
|
|
|
144
|
|
|
145 The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
|
|
|
146 Italian (translated by Antonio Colombo). More languages will follow.
|
|
|
147
|
|
40
|
148 The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/.
|
|
|
149
|
|
36
|
150
|
|
43
|
151 Internal grep *new-vimgrep*
|
|
|
152 -------------
|
|
|
153
|
|
|
154 The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
|
|
|
155 This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides
|
|
|
156 better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
|
|
|
157 patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
|
|
|
158 |:vimgrep|.

327 Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work
|
|
|
328 when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See
|
|
|
329 |autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner)

332 IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
|
|
|
333
|
|
10
|
334 ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
|
|
|
335
|
|
15
|
336 Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
|
|
|
337
|
|
10
|
338 ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
|
|
|
339 breakpoint at the cursor.
|
|
|
340
|
|
11
|
341 The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a
|
|
|
342 few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.
|
|

|
343
|
|
12
|
344 Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
|
|
|
345 it. (Johannes Zellner)
|
|
|
346
|
|
13
|
347 Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)
|
|
|
348
|
|
17
|
349 Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that
|
|
|
350 doesn not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
|
|
|
351 autocommands.
|
|
|
352
|
|
14
|
353 For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
354 - square brackets are recognized properly
|
|
|
355 - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
|
|
|
356 - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized
|
|
|
357
|
|
19
|
358 Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)
|
|
|
359
|
|
20
|
360 winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
|
|
|
361 Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
362
|
|
|
363 Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
|
|
|
364
|
|
22
|
365 When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
|
|
|
366 delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
|
|
|
367 actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)
|
|
|
368
|
|
|
369 When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
|
|
|
370 Also support setting the filetype to "cdoxygen" for C plus doxygen syntax.
|
|
|
371 (Michael Geddes)
|
|
|
372
|
|
|
373 The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.
|
|
|
374
|
|
|
375 VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
|
|
|
376 upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
|
|
|
377 (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
|
378
|
|
23
|
379 For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
|
|
|
380 of buffers.
|
|
|
381
|
|
40
|
382 The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
|
|
|
383 have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|
|
|
384
|
|
26
|
385 When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts
|
|
|
386 the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras)
|
|
|
387
|
|
|
388 Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
|
|
|
389 digraphs still work when iconv is not available.
|
|
|
390
|
|
36
|
391 When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
|
|
|
392 buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
|
|
|
393 list.
|
|
|
394
|
|
|
395 Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
|
|
|
396 (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)
|
|
|
397
|
|
|
398 When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
|
|
|
399 second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
|
|
|
400 line is just "/*".
|
|
|
401
|
|
39
|
402 When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
|
|
|
403 mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
|
|
|
404 edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to
|
|
|
405 the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The
|
|
|
406 used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
|
|
|
407 more reliable.
|
|
|
408
|
|
|
409 Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding'
|
|
|
410 in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
|
|
|
411 "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims
|
|
|
412 with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.
|
|
|
413
|
|
41
|
414 Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
|
|
|
415 incremented/decremented each time.
|
|
|
416
|
|
69
|
417 Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label
|
|
46
|
418 contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
|
|
|
419 a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.
|
|
|
420
|
|
56
|
421 When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.
|
|
|
422
|
|
100
|
423 Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.
|
|
|
424
|
|
123
|
425 ":redir @*>" and ":redir @+>" append to the clipboard. Better check for
|
|
|
426 invalid characters after the register name.
|
|
|
427
|
|
|
428 ":let g:" lists global variables.
|
|
|
429 ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables.
|
|
|
430 ":let w:" lists window-local variables.
|
|
|
431 ":let v:" lists Vim variables.
|
|
|
432
|
|
149
|
433 The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
|
|
|
434 searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

437 COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
|
|
|
438
|
|
69
|
439 Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and
|
|
|
440 probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
|
|
|
441 and merge it back in.
|
|
|
442
|
|
18
|
443 Mac: "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to
|
|
|
444 its final destination. (Raf)
|
|
|
445
|
|
|
446 Mac: Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and
|
|
|
447 still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c
|
|
|
448 file.

|
451 BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
|
|
|
452
|
|
10
|
453 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
|
|
|
454 instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
|
|
|
455 work. Use "LPT1" then.
|
|
|
456
|
|
|
457 The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
|
|
|
458 size. Use a default size of 10.
|
|
|
459
|
|
|
460 This example in the documentation didn't work:
|
|
|
461 :e `=foo . ".c" `
|
|
|
462 Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
|
|
|
463
|
|
|
464 When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
|
|
|
465
|
|
|
466 "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
|
|
|
467
|
|
|
468 Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
|
|
|
469 when it doesn't support MDI.
|
|
|
470
|
|
|
471 Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
|
|
|
472
|
|
|
473 "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
|
|
|
474 space.
|
|
|
475
|
|
|
476 Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
|
|
|
477 SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
|
|
|
478 for doesn't have an extension.
|
|
|
479
|
|
|
480 When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
|
|
|
481 may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
|
|
|
482 cursor and not putting it back where it was.
|
|
|
483
|
|
|
484 When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
|
|
|
485 not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
|
|
|
486 to make it work the old way.
|
|
|
487
|
|
|
488 When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
|
|
|
489 filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
|
|
|
490
|
|
|
491 After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
|
|
|
492
|
|
|
493 Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
|
|
|
494 fields. (Walter Briscoe)
|
|
7
|
495
|
|
11
|
496 On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
|
|
|
497 Michele)
|
|
|
498
|
|
14
|
499 Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a
|
|
|
500 CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)
|
|
|
501
|
|
16
|
502 When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
|
|
|
503 ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.
|
|
|
504
|
|
|
505 Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
|
|
|
506 characters.
|
|
|
507
|
|
17
|
508 When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
|
|
|
509 variables like for a regular command with a file argument.
|
|
|
510
|
|
|
511 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
|
|
|
512 is indented too much.
|
|
|
513
|
|
|
514 When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
|
|
|
515 alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
|
|
|
516 items.
|
|
|
517
|
|
18
|
518 The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use
|
|
|
519 "cn" or "tw" as intended.
|
|
|
520
|
|
20
|
521 When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
|
|
|
522 after the last line while it's not there.
|
|
|
523
|
|
|
524 Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when
|
|
|
525 resizing the GUI shell upon startup.
|
|
|
526
|
|
|
527 Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a
|
|
|
528 string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored.
|
|
|
529
|
|
21
|
530 When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
|
|
|
531 contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre
|
|
|
532 and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.
|
|
|
533
|
|
22
|
534 strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)
|
|
|
535
|
|
|
536 GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
|
|
|
537 just before it is invoked
|
|
|
538
|
|
|
539 VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of
|
|
|
540 environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
|
|
|
541
|
|
|
542 UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
|
|
|
543 from the first character of the word.
|
|
|
544
|
|
|
545 When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
|
|
|
546 detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().
|
|
|
547
|
|
|
548 When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
|
|
|
549 but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.
|
|
|
550
|
|
23
|
551 When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
|
|
|
552 list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow
|
|
|
553 interrupting this.
|
|
|
554
|
|
|
555 When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
|
|
|
556 used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options
|
|
|
557 and global options remain unmodified.
|
|
|
558
|
|
|
559 Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
|
|
|
560 command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the
|
|
|
561 file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.
|
|
|
562
|
|
24
|
563 Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
|
|
|
564 default value of 'isprint' was wrong.
|
|
|
565
|
|
|
566 When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
|
|
|
567 xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
|
|
|
568 line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.
|
|
|
569
|
|
26
|
570 Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.
|
|
|
571
|
|
|
572 When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
|
|
|
573 going to be used like a command.
|
|
|
574
|
|
|
575 GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
|
|
|
576 GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.
|
|
|
577
|
|
|
578 GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.
|
|
|
579
|
|
|
580 Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
|
|
|
581 line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the
|
|
|
582 console version.
|
|
|
583
|
|
|
584 Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
|
|
|
585 there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.
|
|
|
586
|
|
29
|
587 When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
|
|
|
588 files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
|
|
|
589 directory for the library early in the link flags.
|
|
|
590
|
|
|
591 With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
|
|
|
592 literal text. Now it works for any pattern.
|
|
|
593
|
|
36
|
594 When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
|
|
|
595 cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.
|
|
|
596
|
|
|
597 When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
|
|
|
598 buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.
|
|
|
599
|
|
|
600 Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
|
|
|
601 problems for Terminal.app.
|
|
|
602
|
|
|
603 When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
|
|
|
604 end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
|
|
|
605 argument.
|
|
|
606
|
|
|
607 When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
|
|
|
608 has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
|
|
|
609 back.
|
|
|
610
|
|
|
611 When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
|
|
|
612 was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
613
|
|
|
614 When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
|
|
|
615 "cancel", would still give an error message.
|
|
|
616
|
|
|
617 The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
|
|
|
618 mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.
|
|
|
619
|
|
|
620 Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
|
|
|
621 keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).
|
|
|
622
|
|
|
623 Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c
|
|
|
624
|
|
|
625 In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
|
|
|
626 selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break
|
|
|
627 is included, e.g., after "v$o".
|
|
|
628
|
|
|
629 GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a
|
|
|
630 GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)
|
|
|
631
|
|
|
632 After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.
|
|
|
633
|
|
|
634 When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While
|
|
|
635 doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott
|
|
38
|
636 Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
|
|
|
637 handle. Added handle_signal().
|
|
|
638
|
|
|
639 When using "set laststatus=2 cmdheight=2" in the .gvimrc you may only get one
|
|
|
640 line for the cmdline. (Christian Robinson) Invoke command_height() after the
|
|
|
641 GUI has started up.
|
|
36
|
642
|
|
39
|
643 When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
|
|
|
644 white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.
|

646 When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
|
|
|
647 long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent()
|
|
|
648 being found in a library.

|
|
649
|
|
|
650 When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
|
|
|
651 may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.

653 Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
|
|
|
654 is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)
|
|
|
655
|
|
|
656 When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
|
|
|
657 original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was
|
|
|
658 empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
|
|
|
659 be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
|
|
|
660 the values when recovering.
|
|
|
661
|
|
|
662 ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
|
|
|
663 message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.
|

|

|
665 Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and #
|
|
|
666 when building the ":drop" command.

|
668 A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized.
|
|
|
669 E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.

|
|
46
|
671 "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
|
|
|
672 does. Also breaks "das" on that dot.
|
|
|
673
|
|
|
674 When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
|
|
|
675 moved the cursor to another column.
|
|
|
676
|
|
|
677 When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
|
|
|
678 quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed
|
|
|
679 fold.
|
|
|
680
|
|
|
681 In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
|
|
|
682 break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".

686 Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar

|
689 When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
|
|
|
690 not included.
|
|
|
691
|
|
|
692 Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
|
|
|
693 Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.
|
|
|
694
|
|
|
695 When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
|
|
|
696 the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.
|
|
|
697
|
|
76
|
698 Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".
|
|
|
699
|
|
91
|
700 When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode
|
|
|
701 (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
|
|
|
702 mode. (Peter Winters)
|
|
|
703
|
|
97
|
704 "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.
|
|
|
705
|
|
100
|
706 Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
|
|
|
707 not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
|
|
109
|
708 Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'".
|
|
100
|

|
710 When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more
|
|
|
711 lines" overwrites the message.
|
|
|
712
|
|
|
713 Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.
|
|
|
714
|
|
141
|
715 When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
|
|
|
716 after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right
|
|
|
717 column in the wrong line.
|
|
|
718
|
|
149
|
719 When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
|
|
|
720 starts with "sl".
|
|
|
721
|
|
|
722 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear
|
|
|
723 'paste' when starting the GUI.
