+This should avoid flicker.  Other solution by A.Politz, 2007 Aug 22.

-searchpos() doesn't use match under cursor at start of line. (Viktor

-When FEAT_BYTEOFF is defined but FEAT_NETBEANS_INTG is not compiling fails.
-Add FEAT_BYTEOFF to the check at line 1180 in feature.h

 Look at http://www.gtk-server.org/ .  It has a Vim script implementation.
+Netbeans problem.  Use "nc -l 127.0.0.1 55555" for the server, then run gvim
+with "gvim -nb:localhost:55555:foo".  From nc do: '1:editFile!0 "foo"'.  Then
+go to Insert mode and add a few lines.  Then backspacing every other time
+moves the cursor instead of deleting. (Chris Kaiser, 2007 Sep 25)
+Redraw problem when appending digraph causes line to wrap. (James Vega, 2007

-:au

-When 'expandtab' is set then a Tab copied for 'copyindent' is expanded to
-spaces, even when 'preserveindent' is set. (Alexei Alexandrov, Mar 7)

+VMS: VFC files are in some cases truncated during reading (Zoltan Arpadffy)
 input() completion should not insert a backslash to escape a space in a file
 name?
 getpos()/setpos() don't include curswant.  getpos() could return a fifth
 element.  setpos() could accept an optional fifth element.
 Ruby completion is insecure.  Can this be fixed?
-":confirm w" does give a prompt when 'readonly' is set, but not when the file
-permissions are read-only.  Both can be overruled by ":w!" thus it would be
-logical to get a prompt for both. (Michael Schaap)
 When 'backupskip' is set from $TEMP special characters need to be escaped.
 (patch by Grembowietz, 2007 Feb 26, not quite right)

-When 'bomb' is set or reset the file should be considered modified. (Tony
-Mechelynck)  Handle like 'endofline'.

+cursor in the empty buffer, the other buffer only shows the last line.  Change
+the "insert" into a change from one line to many? (Yakov Lerner, 2008 May 27)
+Add autocommand for when a tabpage is being closed.  Also for when a tab page
+has been created.
+Using ":make" blocks Vim.  Allow running one make in the background (if the
+shell supports it), catch errors in a file and update the error list on the
+fly.  A bit like "!make > file&" and repeating ":cf file".  ":bgmake",
+background make.  ":bgcancel" interrupts it.
+A.Politz may work on this.
 The spellfile plugin checks for a writable "spell" directory.  A user may have
 a writable runtime directory without a "spell" directory, it could be created
 then.
 New syntax files for fstab and resolv from Radu Dineiu, David Necas did
 previous version.
 For Aap: include a config.arg.example file with hints how to use config.arg.
+Command line completion when 'cmdheight' is maximum and 'wildmenu' is set,
+only one buffer line displayed, causes display errors.
+Completing with 'wildmenu' and using <Up> and <Down> to move through directory
+tree stops unexpectedly when using ":cd " and entering a directory that
+doesn't contain other directories.
 Linux distributions:
 - Suggest compiling xterm with --enable-tcap-query, so that nr of colors is
 known to Vim.  88 colors instead of 16 works better.  See ":help
 xfree-xterm".
 Accessing file#var in a function should not need the g: prepended.
 When ":cn" moves to an error in the same line the message isn't shortened.
 Only skip shortening for ":cc"?
-Win32: The matchparen plugin doesn't update the match when scrolling with the
-mouse wheel. (Ilya Bobir, 2006 Jun 27)
 Write "making vim work better" for the docs (mostly pointers): *nice*
 - sourcing $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
 - setting 'mouse' to "a"
 - getting colors in xterm
 - compiling Vim with X11, GUI, etc.

 give a maximized window. (Darren Hiebert)

 After starting Vim, using '0 to jump somewhere in a file, ":sp" doesn't center
 the cursor line.  It works OK after some other commands.

 Win32: Is it possible to have both postscript and Win32 printing?

 about this.

 There should be something about spell checking in the user manual.
 Check: Running Vim in a console and still having connect to the X server for
 copy/paste: is stopping the X server handled gracefully?  Should catch the X
 error and stop using the connection to the server.
 Jul 26, Gary Johnson)
 In the Netbeans interface add a "vimeval" function, so that the other side can
 check the result of has("patch13").
-":py" asks for an argument, ":py asd" then gives the error that ":py" isn't

 Add command modifier that skips wildcard expansion, so that you don't need to
 put backslashes before special chars, only for white space.
-Win32 GUI: confirm() with zero default should not have a choice selected.

 9   User commands use the context of the script they were defined in.  This
 causes a "s:var" argument to unexpectedly use a variable in the defining
 script, not the calling script.  Add an argument to ":command":
 "-keepcontext".  Do replace <SID>, so that a function in the defining
 script can be called.

+8   It is currently not possible to mark "can not" as rare, because "can" and
+"not" are good words.  Find a way to let "rare" overrule "good"?
 8   Make "en-rare" spell file?  Ask Charles Campbell.
 8   The English dictionaries for different regions are not consistent in their

 8   UTF-8: "r" in Visual mode doesn't take composing characters.
 7   SpecialKey highlighting overrules syntax highlighting.  Can't give an

+they can give useful debugging info.  The whole call stack would be ideal.
 7   Execute a function with standard option values.  No need to save and
 restore option values.  Especially useful for new options.  Problem: how
 to avoid a performance penalty (esp. for string options)?
 8   Add referring to key options with "&t_xx".  Both for "echo &t_xx" and
 ":let &t_xx =".  Useful for making portable mappings.
 	attributes()		return file protection flags "drwxrwxrwx"
 	filecopy(from, to)	Copy a file

 	getacp()		Win32: get codepage (Glenn Maynard)
 	deletebufline()		delete line in any buffer
 	appendbufline()		append line in any buffer
 9   Check handling of overwriting of messages and delays:
 Very wrong: errors while redrawing cause endless loop.
 When switching to another file and screen scrolls because of the long
 message and return must be typed, don't scroll the screen back before
 redrawing.
-7   Add an option, which is a regexp, that disables warning messages which
-match that regexp (Tsirkin).
 8   When address range is wrong you only get "Invalid range".  Be a bit more
 specific: Negative, beyond last line, reverse range?  Include the text.
 8   Make it possible to ignore errors for a moment ('errorignore'?).  Another
 option to switch off giving error messages ('errorquiet'?).  Also an option
 not to give any messages ('quiet')?  Or ":quiet on", ":quiet off".
 8   Add CTRL-X CTRL-R: complete words from register contents.
 8   Add completion of previously inserted texts (like what CTRL-A does).
 Requires remembering a number of insertions.
 8   Add 'f' flag to 'complete': Expand file names.
 Also apply 'complete' to whole line completion.
+-   Add a flag to 'complete' to only scan local header files, not system
+header files. (Andri Moell)
 -   Make it possible to search include files in several places.  Use the
 'path' option?  Can this be done with the dictionary completion (use
 wildcards in the file name)?
 -   Make CTRL-X CTRL-K do a binary search in the dictionary (if it's sorted).
 -   Speed up CTRL-X CTRL-K dictionary searching (don't use a regexp?).
 - use NV_NOCL flag for commands that are not allowed in Command-line
 	Mode.
 Command line completion:
+8   Completing ":r ~br" should find matching user names.
 8   Change expand_interactively into a flag that is passed as an argument.
 8   With command line completion after '%' and '#', expand current/alternate
 file name, so it can be edited.  Also with modifiers, such as "%:h".
 8   When completing command names, either sort them on the long name, or list
 them with the optional part inside [].
+8   Add an option to ignore case when doing interactive completion.  So that
+":e file<Tab>" also lists "Filelist" (sorted after matching case matches).
 7   Completion of ":map x ": fill in the current mapping, so that it can be
 edited. (Sven Guckes)
 -   For 'wildmenu': Simplify "../bar" when possible.
 -   When using <Up> in wildmenu mode for a submenu, should go back to the
 current menu, not the first one.  E.g., ":emenu File.Save<Up>".
 8   When using CTRL-O in Insert mode, then executing an insert command
 "a" or "i", should we return to Insert mode after <Esc>? (Eggink)
 Perhaps it can be allowed a single time, to be able to do
 "<C-O>10axyz<Esc>".  Nesting this further is confusing.
 ":map <F2> 5aabc<Esc>" works only once from Insert mode.
+8   When using CTRL-G CTRL-O do like CTRL-\ CTRL-O, but when returning with
+the cursor in the same position and the text didn't change continue the
+same change, so that "." repeats the whole insert.
 7   Use CTRL-G <count> to repeat what follows.  Useful for inserting a
 character multiple times or repeating CTRL-Y.
 7   Use 'matchpairs' for 'showmatch': When inserting a character check if it
 appears in the rhs of 'matchpairs'.
 -   In Insert mode (and command line editing?): Allow undo of the last typed
 -   Insert binary numbers with CTRL-V b.
 -   Make it possible to undo <BS>, <C-W> and <C-U>.  Bash uses CTRL-Y.

 8   Add text object for part of a CamelHumpedWord and under_scored_word.
 (Scott Graham)  "ac" and "au"?
 8   Add a text object for any kind of quoting, also with multi-byte
 characters.  Option to specify what quotes are recognized (default: all)
 use "aq" and "iq".  Use 'quotepairs' to define pairs of quotes, like
 'matchpairs'?
 8   Add text object for any kind of parens, also multi-byte ones.
 7   Add text object for current search pattern: "a/" and "i/".  Makes it
 possible to turn text highlighted for 'hlsearch' into a Visual area.
-8   Add a way to make an ":omap" for a user-defined text object.
+8   Add a way to make an ":omap" for a user-defined text object.  Requires
+changing the starting position in oap->start.
 8   Add "gp" and "gP" commands: insert text and make sure there is a single
 space before it, unless at the start of the line, and after it, unless at
 the end of the line or before a ".".
 7   Add objects with backwards extension?  Use "I" and "A".  Thus "2dAs"
 deletes the current and previous sentence. (Jens Paulus)
 More advanced repeating commands:
 -   Add "." command for visual mode: redo last visual command (e.g. ":fmt").
 7   Repeating "d:{cmd}" with "." doesn't work. (Benji Fisher)  Somehow remember
 the command line so that it can be repeated?
+-   Add "gn": repeat last movement command.  Including count.
 -   Add "." command after operator: repeat last command of same operator.  E.g.
 "c." will repeat last change, also when "x" used since then (Webb).
 "y." will repeat last yank.
 "c2." will repeat the last but one change?
 Also: keep history of Normal mode commands, add command to list the history
 This one is also very slow on "/* some comment */": "^\/\*\(.*[^/]\)*$".
 7   Recognize "[a-z]", "[0-9]", etc. and replace them with the faster "\l" and
 "\d".
 7   Add a way to specify characters in <C-M> or <Key> form.  Could be
 \%<C-M>.
-8   Flags that apply to the whole pattern.
-This works for all places where a regexp is used.
-Add "\q" to not store this pattern as the last search pattern?
 8   Add an argument after ":s/pat/str/" for a range of matches.  For example,
 ":s/pat/str/#3-4" to replace only the third and fourth "pat" in a line.
+8   When 'iskeyword' is changed the matches from 'hlsearch' may change. (Benji
+Fisher)  redraw if some options are set while 'hlsearch' is set?
 8   Add an option not to use 'hlsearch' highlighting for ":s" and ":g"
 commands. (Kahn)  It would work like ":noh" is used after that command.
 Also: An extra flag to do this once, and a flag to keep the existing
 search pattern.
+-   Make 'hlsearch' a local/global option, so that it can be disabled in some
+of the windows.
 -   Add \%h{group-name}; to search for a specific highlight group.
 Add \%s{syntax-group}; to search for a specific syntax group.
 -   Support Perl regexp.  Use PCRE (Perl Compatible RE) package. (Shade)
 Or translate the pattern to a Vim one.
 Don't switch on with an option for typed commands/mappings/functions, it's
 too confusing.  Use "\@@" in the pattern, to avoid incompatibilities.
-7   Add POSIX regexp, like Nvi, with 'extended' option?  It's like very-magic.
+8   Add a way to access the last substitute text, what is used for ":s//~/".
+Can't use the ~ register, it's already used for drag & drop.
 -   Remember flags for backreferenced items, so that "*" can be used after it.
 Check with "\(\S\)\1\{3}". (Hemmerling)
+8   Flags that apply to the whole pattern.
+This works for all places where a regexp is used.
+Add "\q" to not store this pattern as the last search pattern?
 -   Add flags to search command (also for ":s"?):
 i	ignore case
 I	use case
 p	use Perl regexp syntax (or POSIX?)
 v	use Vi regexp syntax
 7   Add ":iselect", a combination of ":ilist" and ":tselect". (Aaron) (Zellner)
 Also ":dselect".
 Undo:
+9   After undo/redo, in the message show whether the buffer is modified or
+not.
 8   Undo tree: visually show the tree somehow (Damian Conway)
 Show only the leaves, indicating how many changed from the branch and the
 timestamp?
 Put branch with most recent change on the left, older changes get more
 indent?
+8   See ":e" as a change operation, find the changes and add them to the
+undo info.  Also be able to undo the "Reload file" choice for when a file
+was changed outside of Vim.
+Would require doing a diff between the buffer text and the file and
+storing the differences.
 8   Search for pattern in undo tree, showing when it happened and the text
 state, so that you can jump to it.
 -   Persistent undo: store undo in a file.
 Use timestamps, so that a version a certain time ago can be found and info
 before some time/date can be flushed. 'undopersist' gives maximum time to
 keep undo: "3h", "1d", "2w", "1y", etc.  For the file use dot and
 extension: ".filename.un~" (like swapfile but "un~" instead of "swp").
-8   See ":e" as a change operation, find the changes and add them to the
-undo info.  Needed for when an external tool changes the file.
 -   Make it possible to undo all the commands from a mapping, including a
 trailing unfinished command, e.g. for ":map K iX^[r".
 -   When accidentally hitting "R" instead of Ctrl-R, further Ctrl-R is not
 possible, even when typing <Esc> immediately. (Grahn)  Also for "i", "a",
 etc.  Postpone saving for undo until something is really inserted?
 Perhaps check the owner of the directory.  Only when root?
 8   Add argument to keep the list of buffers when Vim is started with a file
 name. (Schild)
 8   Keep the last used directory of the file browser (File/Open menu).
 8   Remember the last used register for "@@".
+8   Remember the redo buffer, so that "." works after restarting.
 8   Remember a list of last accessed files.  To be used in the
 "File.Open Recent" menu.  Default is to remember 10 files or so.
 Also remember which files have been read and written.  How to display
 this?
 7   Also store the ". register (last inserted text).
 Modelines:
 8   Before trying to execute a modeline, check that it looks like one (valid
 option names).  If it's very wrong, silently ignore it.
 Ignore a line that starts with "Subject: ".
+-   Add an option to whitelist options that are allowed in a modeline.  This
+would allow careful users to use modelines, e.g., only allowing
+'shiftwidth'.
+-   Add an option to let modelines only set local options, not global ones
+such as 'encoding'.
 -   When an option value is coming from a modeline, do not carry it over to
 another edited file?  Would need to remember the value from before the
 modeline setting.
 -   Allow setting a variable from a modeline?  Only allow using fixed strings,
 no function calls, to avoid a security problem.
 Allow some way of reporting scrolling and cursor positioning in the viewer
 to Vim, so that the link between the viewed and edited text can be made.
 Marks:
+8   Add ten marks for last changed files: ':0, ':1, etc.  One mark per file.
 8   When cursor is first moved because of scrolling, set a mark at this
 position.  (Rimon Barr)  Use '-.
 8   Add a command to jump to a mark and make the motion inclusive.  g'm and g`m?
 8   The '" mark is set to the first line, even when doing ":next" a few times.
 Only set the '" mark when the cursor was really moved in a file.
 8   Add 'o' flag to 'mouse'?
 7   Be able to set a 'mouseshape' for the popup menu.
 8   Add 'mouse' flag, which sets a behavior like Visual mode, but automatic
 yanking at the button-up event.  Or like Select mode, but typing gets you
 out of Select mode, instead of replacing the text. (Bhaskar)
-7   Checkout sysmouse() for FreeBSD console mouse support.
 -   Implement mouse support for the Amiga console.
 -   Using right mouse button to extend a blockwise selection should attach to
 the nearest corner of the rectangle (four possible corners).
 -   Precede mouse click by a number to simulate double clicks?!?
 -   When mouse click after 'r' command, get character that was pointed to.
 7   Store the history from debug mode in viminfo.
 7   Make the debug mode history available with histget() et al.
 Various improvements:
+8   ":sign unplace * file={filename}" should work.  Also: ":sign unplace *
+buffer={bufnr}".  So one can remove all signs for one file/buffer.
 7   Add plugins for formatting?  Should be able to make a choice depending on
 the language of a file (English/Korean/Japanese/etc.).
 Setting the 'langformat' option to "chinese" would load the
 "format/chinese.vim" plugin.
 The plugin would set 'formatexpr' and define the function being called.
 Edward L. Fox explains how it should be done for most Asian languages.

+Alternative: patch for utf-8 line breaking. (Yongwei Wu, 2008 Feb 23)
 7   [t to move to previous xml/html tag (like "vatov"), ]t to move to next
 ("vatv").
 7   [< to move to previous xml/html tag, e.g., previous <li>. ]< to move to
 next <li>, ]< to next </li>, [< to previous </li>.
 8   Add ":rename" command: rename the file of the current buffer and rename
 errors, e.g. ":make foo", ":grep something *.c".
 6   Python interface: add vim.message() function. (Michal Vitecek, 2002 Nov 5)
 7   Support using ":vert" with User commands.  Add expandable items <vert>.
 Do the same for ":browse" and ":confirm"?
 For ":silent" and ":debug" apply to the whole user command.
+More general: need a way to access command modifiers in a user command.
+Assign them to a v: variable?
 7   Allow a window not to have a statusline.  Makes it possible to use a
 window as a buffer-tab selection.
 7   Add an invisible buffer which can be edited.  For use in scripts that want
 to manipulate text without changing the window layout.
 8   Add a command to revert to the saved version of file; undo or redo until
