| BUG FIXES |bug-fixes-7| |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7* |
| |
| These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you |
| run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0. |
| |
| A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer, |
| unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the |
| buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing |
| all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that |
| ":quit" fails now. |
| |
| ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match. |
| |
| In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file |
| name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping |
| double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi. |
| Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~ |
| :edit foo\"888 'foo"888' 'foo"888' |
| :next foo\"888 'foo888' 'foo"888' |
| :next a\"b c\"d 'ab cd' 'a"b' and 'c"d' |
| |
| In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one. |
| ":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it |
| results in "a'b". |
| |
| When overwriting a file with ":w! fname" there was no warning for when "fname" |
| was being edited by another Vim. Vim now gives an error message |E768|. |
| |
| The support for Mac OS 9 has been removed. |
| |
| |
| Minor incompatibilities: |
| |
| For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use |
| */.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files. |
| |
| ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one. |
| |
| Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code. |
| |
| Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was |
| confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile". |
| |
| When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name |
| isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name that are not useful. |
| |
| The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML |
| looks like its displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR", or |
| "let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by |
| Carl Osterwisch) |
| Diff mode now is also converted as it is displayed. |
| |
| Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends |
| on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without |
| changing 'winaltkeys'. |
| |
| When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which |
| is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to |
| avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010". |
| |
| When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings' |
| now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit |
| encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if |
| possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a |
| non-latin1 environment, such as Russian. |
| |
| Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying |
| a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed. |
| |
| "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit. |
| Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option. |
| |
| Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the |
| disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since |
| you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally |
| translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>, |
| <xF1>, etc. |
| |
| ":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line. |
| |
| When a .gvimrc file exists then 'compatible' is off, just like when a ".vimrc" |
| file exists. |
| |
| When making a string upper-case with "vlllU" or similar then the German sharp |
| s is replaced with "SS". This does not happen with "~" to avoid backwards |
| compatibility problems and because "SS" can't be changed back to a sharp s. |
| |
| "gd" previously found the very first occurrence of a variable in a function, |
| that could be the function argument without type. Now it finds the position |
| where the type is given. |
| |
| The line continuation in functions was not taken into account, line numbers in |
| errors were logical lines, not lines in the sourced file. That made it |
| difficult to locate errors. Now the line number in the sourced file is |
| reported, relative to the function start. This also means that line numbers |
| for ":breakadd func" are different. |
| |
| When defining a user command with |:command| the special items could be |
| abbreviated. This caused unexpected behavior, such as <li> being recognized |
| as <line1>. The items can no longer be abbreviated. |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| NEW FEATURES *new-7* |
| |
| Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script* |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| In Vim scripts the following types have been added: |
| |
| List ordered list of items |List| |
| Dictionary associative array of items |Dictionary| |
| Funcref reference to a function |Funcref| |
| |
| Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types. |
| |
| The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a |
| variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()| |
| can be used to turn the string back into the variable value. |
| |
| The |:let| command can now use "+=". ":let var += expr" works like |
| ":let var = var + expr". "-=" and ".=" works in a similar way. |
| |
| With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script |
| wastes its time. |
| |
| In the Python interface vim.eval() also handles Dictionaries and Lists. |
| |python-eval| (G. Sumner Hayes) |
| |
| The |getscript| plugin was added as a convenient way to update scripts from |
| www.vim.org automatically. (Charles Campbell) |
| |
| The |vimball| plugin was added as a convenient way to distribute a set of |
| files for a plugin (plugin file, autoload script, documentation). (Charles |
| Campbell) |
| |
| |
| Spell checking *new-spell* |
| -------------- |
| |
| Spell checking has been integrated in Vim. There were a few implementations |
| with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program. |
| |
| The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off. |
| The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the languages that are accepted. |
| The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added. |
| The 'spellsuggest' option specifies the methods used for making suggestions |
| |
| The |[s| and |]s| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error. |
| The |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to add good and wrong words. |
| The |z=| command can be used to correct the word. |
| The |:mkspell| command is used to generate a Vim spell file from word lists. |
| |
| The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling |
| mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki). |
| The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and |
| background. |
| The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about |
| 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined |
| with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax |
| highlighting. |
| |
| Much more info here: |spell|. |
| |
| |
| Omni completion *new-omni-completion* |
| ----------------- |
| |
| This could also be called "intellisense", but that is a trademark. It is a |
| smart kind of completion. The text in front of the cursor is inspected to |
| figure out what could be following. This may suggest struct and class |
| members, system functions, etc. |
| |
| Use CTRL-X CTRL-O in Insert mode to start the completion. |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| |
| |
| The 'omnifunc' option is set by filetype plugins to define the function that |
| figures out the completion. |
| |
| Currently supported languages: |
| C |ft-c-omni| |
| (X)HTML with CSS |ft-html-omni| |
| JavaScript |ft-javascript-omni| |
| any language wih syntax highligting |ft-syntax-omni| |
| XML |ft-xml-omni| |
| |
| When the 'completeopt' option contains "menu" then matches for Insert mode |
| completion are displayed in a popup menu. |
| |
| |
| MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme* |
| ------------------ |
| |
| The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme| |
| The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands. |
| The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file. |
| |
| |
| Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte* |
| ------------------ |
| |
| The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters. |
| The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this. |
| Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams) |
| |
| |
| Tab pages *new-tab-pages* |
| --------- |
| |
| A tab page is page with one or more windows with a label (aka tab) at the top. |
| By clicking on the label you can quickly switch between the tab pages. And |
| with the keyboard, using the |gt| (Goto Tab) command. This is a convenient |
| way to work with many windows. |
| |
| To start Vim with each file argument in a separate tab page use the |-p| |
| argument. The maximum number of pages can be set with 'tabpagemax'. |
| |
| The line with tab labels is either made with plain text an highlighting or |
| with a GUI mechanism. The GUI labels look better but are only available on a |
| few systems. The line can be customized with 'tabline' and 'guitablabel'. |
| Whether it is displayed is set with 'showtabline'. Whether to use the GUI |
| labels is set with the "e" flag in 'guioptions'. |
| |
| The |:tab| command modifier can be used to have most commands that open a new |
| window open a new tab instead. |
| |
| The |--remote-tab| argument can be used to edit a file in a new tab page in an |
| already running Vim server. |
| |
| More info here: |tabpage| |
| |
| |
| Undo branches *new-undo-branches* |
| ------------- |
| |
| Previously there was only one line of undo-redo. If, after undoing a number |
| of changes, a new change was made all the undone changes were lost. This |
| could lead to accidentally losing work. |
| |
| Vim now makes an undo branch in this situation. Thus you can go back to the |
| text after any change, even if they were undone. So long as you do not run |
| into 'undolevels', undo information is freed up to limit the memory used. |
| |
| To be able to navigate the undo branches each change is numbered sequentially. |
| The commands |g-| and |:earlier| go back in time, to older changes. The |
| commands |g+| and |:later| go forward in time, to newer changes. |
| |
| The changes are also timestamped. Use ":earlier 10m" to go to the text as it |
| was about ten minutes earlier. |
| |
| The |:undolist| command can be used to get an idea of which undo branches |
| exist. The |:undo| command now takes an argument to directly jump to a |
| specific position in this list. The |changenr()| function can be used to |
| obtain the change number. |
| |
| There is no graphical display of the tree with changes, navigation can be |
| quite confusing. |
| |
| |
| Extended Unicode support *new-more-unicode* |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Previously only two combining characters were displayed. The limit is now |
| raised to 6. This can be set with the 'maxcombine' option. The default is |
| still 2. |
| |
| |ga| now shows all combining characters, not just the first two. |
| |
| Previously only 16 bit Unicode characters were supported for displaying. Now |
| the full 32 bit character set can be used. Unless manually disabled at |
| compile time. |
| |
| For pattern matching it is now possible to search for individual composing |
| characters. |patterns-composing| |
| |
| The |8g8| command searches for an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence. |
| |
| |
| More highlighting *new-more-highlighting* |
| ----------------- |
| |
| Highlighting matching parens |
| |
| When moving the cursor through the text and it is on a paren, then the |
| matching paren can be highlighted. This uses the new |CursorMoved| |
| autocommand event. |
| |
| See |matchparen| for more information. |
| |
| The plugin uses the |:match| command. It now supports three match patterns. |
| The plugin uses the third one. The first one is for the user and the second |
| one can be used by another plugin. |
| |
| Highlighting the cursor line and column |
| |
| The 'cursorline' and 'cursorcolumn' options have been added. These highlight |
| the screen line and screen column of the cursor. This makes the cursor |
| position easier to spot. 'cursorcolumn' is also useful to align text. The |
| CursorColumn and CursorLine highlighting allow changing the colors used. |
| |hl-CursorColumn| |hl-CursorLine| |
| |
| |
| Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans* |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in |
| several other languages. |
| |
| French - translated by David Blanchet |
| Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo |
| Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin |
| |
| The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/, |
| .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no |
| standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file |
| is used there as a best guess. |
| Other languages are installed in similar places. |
| The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured |
| with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will |
| do it anyway. |
| |
| |
| Internal grep *new-vimgrep* |
| ------------- |
| |
| The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files. |
| This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides |
| better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line |
| patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files. |
| |:vimgrep|. |
| |
| If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the |
| |getqflist()| function. |
| |
| To search in files in various directories the "**" pattern can be used. It |
| expands into an arbitrary depth of directories. "**" can be used in all |
| places where file names are expanded, thus also with |:next| and |:args|. |
| |
| |
| Scroll back in messages *new-scroll-back* |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| When displaying messages, at the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, The |
| 'k', 'u' and 'b' keys can be used to scroll back to previous messages. This |
| is especially useful for commands such as ":syntax", ":autocommand" and |
| ":highlight". This is implemented in a generic way thus it works for all |
| commands and highlighting is kept. Only works when the 'more' option is set. |
| Previously it only partly worked for ":clist". |
| |
| The |g<| command can be used to see the last page of messages after you have |
| hit <Enter> at the |hit-enter-prompt|. Then you can scroll further back. |
| |
| |
| Cursor past end of the line *new-onemore* |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| When the 'virtualedit' option contains "onemore" the cursor can move just past |
| the end of the line. As if it's on top of the line break. |
| |
| This makes some commands more consistent. Previously the cursor was always |
| past the end of the line if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi |
| compatible. It may also break some plugins or Vim scripts. Use with care! |
| |
| The patch was provided by Mattias Flodin. |
| |
| |
| POSIX compatibility *new-posix* |
| ------------------- |
| |
| The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of |
| problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them |
| conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment |
| variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|. |
| |
| Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty: |
| - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to |
| 'cpoptions' |cpo-X| |
| - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added |
| the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--| |
| - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the |
| '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&| |
| - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and |
| CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now |
| accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a |
| digit. |
| - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}. |
| - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in |
| 'cpoptions'. |
| - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number". |
| - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified. |
| - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line |
| above or below the new lines. |
| - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command. |
| - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the |
| inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines. |
| - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each |
| matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line. |
| - The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but |
| redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do. |
| - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external |
| command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe"). |
| - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed. |
| - The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before. |
| - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'. |
| - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert. |
| - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line. |
| - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and |
| CTRL-T cannot be handled then. |
| - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines. |
| - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started. |
| - Implemented the 'prompt' option. |
| |
| |
| Debugger support *new-debug-support* |
| ---------------- |
| |
| The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement |
| balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the |
| mouse pointer. |
| |
| |
| Remote file explorer *new-netrw-explore* |
| -------------------- |
| |
| The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used. |
| Deleting and renaming files is possible. |
| |
| To avoid duplicating a lot of code, the previous file explorer plugin has been |
| integrated in the netrw plugin. This means browsing local and remote files |
| works the same way. |
| |
| ":browse edit" and ":browse split" use the netrw plugin when it's available |
| and a GUI dialog is not possible. |
| |
| The netrw plugin is maintained by Charles Campbell. |
| |
| |
| Define an operator *new-define-operator* |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Previously it was not possible to define your own operator; a command that is |
| followed by a {motion}. Vim 7 introduces the 'operatorfunc' option and the |
| |g@| operator. This makes it possible to define a mapping that works like an |
| operator. The actual work is then done by a function, which is invoked |
| through the |g@| operator. |
| |
| See |:map-operator| for the explanation and an example. |
| |
| |
| Mapping to an expression *new-map-expression* |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| The {rhs} argument of a mapping can be an expression. That means the |
| resulting characters can depend on the context. Example: > |
| :inoremap <expr> . InsertDot() |
| Here the dot will be mapped to whatever InsertDot() returns. |
| |
| Also works for abbreviations. See |:map-<expr>| for the details. |
| |
| |
| Visual and Select mode mappings *new-map-select* |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| Previously Visual mode mappings applied both to Visual and Select mode. With |
| a trick to have the mappings work in Select mode like they would in Visual |
| mode. |
| |
| Commands have been added to define mappings for Visual and Select mode |
| separately: |:xmap| and |:smap|. With the associated "noremap" and "unmap" |
| commands. |
| |
| The same is done for menus: |:xmenu|, |:smenu|, etc. |
| |
| |
| Location list *new-location-list* |
| ------------- |
| |
| The support for a per-window quickfix list (location list) is added. The |
| location list can be displayed in a location window (similar to the quickfix |
| window). You can open more than one location list window. A set of commands |
| similar to the quickfix commands are added to browse the location list. |
| (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| |
| |

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

| |
| Vietnamese message translations and menu. (Phan Vinh Thinh) |
| |
| |
| Others: ~ |
| |
| The Netbeans interface was updated for Sun Studio 10. The protocol number |
| goes from 2.2 to 2.3. (Gordon Prieur) |
| |
| Mac: When starting up Vim will load the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim script to |
| define default command-key mappings. (mostly by Benji Fisher) |
| |
| Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and |
| character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns) |
| Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using |
| "yyp". |
| |
| Mac: GUI font selector. (Peter Cucka) |
| |
| Mac: support for multi-byte characters. (Da Woon Jung) |
| |
| Mac: Support the xterm mouse in the non-GUI version. |
| |
| Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc |
| event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a |
| file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung) |
| |
| Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode. |
| GUI font selector for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki) |
| |
| Nicer toolbar buttons for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki) |
| |
| Mnemonics for the Motif find/replace dialog. (Marcin Dalecki) |
| |
| To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values, |
| they are not supported by termcap/terminfo. |
| |
| Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work |
| when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See |
| |autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner) |
| |
| For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized. |
| |xterm-modifier-keys| |
| |
| When 'verbose' is set the output of ":highlight" will show where a highlight |
| item was last set. |
| When 'verbose' is set the output of the ":map", ":abbreviate", ":command", |
| ":function" and ":autocmd" commands will show where it was last defined. |
| (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| |
| ":function /pattern" lists functions matching the pattern. |
| |
| "1gd" can be used like "gd" but ignores matches in a {} block that ends before |
| the cursor position. Likewise for "1gD" and "gD". |
| |
| 'scrolljump' can be set to a negative number to scroll a percentage of the |
| window height. |
| |
| The |v:scrollstart| variable has been added to help finding the location in |
| your script that causes the hit-enter prompt. |
| |
| To make it possible to handle the situation that a file is being edited that |
| is already being edited by another Vim instance, the |SwapExists| event has |
| been added. The |v:swapname|, |v:swapchoice| and |v:swapcommand| variables |
| can be used, for example to use the |client-server| functionality to bring the |
| other Vim to the foreground. |
| When starting Vim with a "-t tag" argument, there is an existing swapfile and |
| the user selects "quit" or "abort" then exit Vim. |
| |
| Undo now also restores the '< and '> marks. "gv" selects the same area as |
| before the change and undo. |
| |
| When editing a search pattern for a "/" or "?" command and 'incsearch' is set |
| CTRL-L can be used to add a character from the current match. CTRL-R CTRL-W |
| will add a word, but exclude the part of the word that was already typed. |
| |
| Ruby interface: add line number methods. (Ryan Paul) |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7* |
| |
| ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it". |
| |
| Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now. |
| |
| When doing completion for ":!cmd", ":r !cmd" or ":w !cmd" executable files are |
| found in $PATH instead of looking for ordinary files in the current directlry. |
| |
| When ":silent" is used and a backwards range is given for an Ex command the |
| range is swapped automatically instead of asking if that is OK. |
| |
| The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an |
| iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in |
| allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows |
| matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that. |
| |
| Previously some options were always evaluated in the |sandbox|. Now that only |
| happens when the option was set from a modeline or in secure mode. Applies to |
| 'balloonexpr', 'foldexpr', 'foldtext' and 'includeexpr'. (Sumner Hayes) |
| |
| Some commands and expressions could have nasty side effects, such as using |
| CTRL-R = while editing a search pattern and the expression invokes a function |
| that jumps to another window. The |textlock| has been added to prevent this |
| from happening. |
| |
| ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a |
| breakpoint at the cursor. |
| |
| It is now possible to define a function with: > |
| :exe "func Test()\n ...\n endfunc" |
| |
| The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a |
| few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann. |
| |
| Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display |
| it. (Johannes Zellner) |
| |
| Mac and Cygwin: When editing an existing file make the file name the same case |
| of the edited file. Thus when typing ":e os_UNIX.c" the file name becomes |
| "os_unix.c". |
| |
| Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet) |
| |
| Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that |
| does not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd |
| autocommands. |
| |
| For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev) |
| - square brackets are recognized properly |
| - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals |
| - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized |
| |
| Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher) |
| |
| winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan |
| Lakshmanan) |
| |
| Added 's' flag to search(): set ' mark if cursor moved. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull) |
| Added 'c' flag to search(): accept match at the cursor. |
| Added 'e' flag to search(): move to end of the match. (Benji Fisher) |
| Added 'p' flag to search(): return number of sub-pattern. (Benji Fisher) |
| These also apply to searchpos(), searchpair() and searchpairpos(). |
| The search() and searchpair() functions have an extra argument to specify |
| where to stop searching. Speeds up searches that should not continue too far. |
| |
| When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't |
| delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not |
| actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott) |
| |
| When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax. |
| (Michael Geddes) |
| |
| Support setting 'filetype' and 'syntax' to "aaa.bbb" for "aaa" plus "bbb" |
| filetype or syntax. |
| |
| The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly. |
| |
| VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag |
| upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes. |
| (Zoltan Arpadffy) |
| |
| For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number |
| of buffers. |
| |
| When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts |
| the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras) |
| |
| Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that |
| digraphs still work when iconv is not available. |
| |
| When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that |
| buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer |
| list. |
| |
| Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it. |
| (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro) |
| |
| Win32: Vim was not aware of hard links on NTFS file systems. These are |
| detected now for when 'backupcopy' is "auto". Also fixed a bogus "file has |
| been changed since reading it" error for links. |
| |
| When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the |
| second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first |
| line is just "/*". |
| |
| When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there |
| mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the |
| edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to |
| the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The |
| used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much |
| more reliable. |
| |
| Unix: When editing a file through a symlink the swap file would use the name |
| of the symlink. Now use the name of the actual file, so that editing the same |
| file twice is detected. (suggestions by Stefano Zacchiroli and James Vega) |
| |
| Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding' |
| in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console, |
| "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims |
| with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages. |
| |
| Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be |
| incremented/decremented each time. |
| |
| Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label |
| contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and |
| a bit less dependent on the X11 font management. |
| |
| When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file. |
| |
| Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete. |
| |
| ":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for |
| invalid characters after the register name. |:redir| |
| |
| ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable. |
| (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir| |
| |
| ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| |
| The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose |
| messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to |
| log startup messages. |
| |
| ":let g:" lists global variables. |
| ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables. |
| ":let w:" lists window-local variables. |
| ":let v:" lists Vim variables. |
| |
| The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start |
| searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| |
| The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression |
| for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it. |
| |
| The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When |
| the line number is just below the last line the line is appended. |
| |
| g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of |
| bytes. |
| |
| Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip |
| ":" between range and command name. (Peter winters) |
| |
| CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was |
| ignored. |
| |
| When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep |
| will result in a message with the source of the error. |
| |
| When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that |
| ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c". |
| |
| To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has |
| been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|. |
| |
| In a |:substitute| command the \u, \U, \l and \L items now also work for |
| multi-byte characters. |
| |
| The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for |
| 'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin" and "putty". |
| |
| The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason| |
| variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used |
| to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do. |
| |
| Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the |
| possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character |
| and the * stands for the modifier code. |
| Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize |
| the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible |
| modifiers. |
| |
| getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified |
| window. |
| |
| Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| Added the "%>" item to 'errorformat'. |
| |
| For 'errorformat' it was not possible to have a file name that contains the |
| character that follows after "%f". For example, in "%f:%l:%m" the file name |
| could not contain ":". Now include the first ":" where the rest of the |
| pattern matches. In the example a ":" not followed by a line number is |
| included in the file name. (suggested by Emanuele Giaquinta) |
| |
| GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by |
| Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb. |
| |
| Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were |
| used. |
| |
| Win32: If the user changes the setting for the number of lines a scroll wheel |
| click scrolls it is now used immediately. Previously Vim would need to be |
| restarted. |
| |
| When using @= in an expression the value is expression @= contains. ":let @= |
| = value" can be used to set the register contents. |
| |
| A ! can be added to ":popup" to have the popup menu appear at the mouse |
| pointer position instead of the text cursor. |
| |
| The table with encodings has been expanded with many MS-Windows codepages, |
| such as cp1250 and cp737, so that these can also be used on Unix without |
| prepending "8bit-". |
| When an encoding name starts with "microsoft-cp" ignore the "microsoft-" part. |
| |
| Added the "customlist" completion argument to a user-defined command. The |
| user-defined completion function should return the completion candidates as a |
| Vim List and the returned results are not filtered by Vim. (Yegappan |
| Lakshmanan) |
| |
| Win32: Balloons can have multiple lines if common controls supports it. |
| (Sergey Khorev) |
| |
| For command-line completion the matches for various types of arguments are now |
| sorted: user commands, variables, syntax names, etc. |
| |
| When no locale is set, thus using the "C" locale, Vim will work with latin1 |
| characters, using its own isupper()/toupper()/etc. functions. |
| |
| When using an rxvt terminal emulator guess the value of 'background' using the |
| COLORFGBG environment variable. (Ciaran McCreesh) |
| |
| Also support t_SI and t_EI on Unix with normal features. (Ciaran McCreesh) |
| |
| When 'foldcolumn' is one then put as much info in it as possible. This allows |
| closing a fold with the mouse by clicking on the '-'. |
| |
| input() takes an optional completion argument to specify the type of |
| completion supported for the input. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| |
| "dp" works with more than two buffers in diff mode if there is only one where |
| 'modifiable' is set. |
| |
| The 'diffopt' option has three new values: "horizontal", "vertical" and |
| "foldcolumn". |
| |
| When the 'include' option contains \zs the file name found is what is being |
| matched from \zs to the end or \ze. Useful to pass more to 'includeexpr'. |
| |
| Loading plugins on startup now supports subdirectories in the plugin |
| directory. |load-plugins| |
| |
| In the foldcolumn always show the '+' for a closed fold, so that it can be |
| opened easily. It may overwrite another character, esp. if 'foldcolumn' is 1. |
| |
| It is now possible to get the W10 message again by setting 'readonly'. Useful |
| in the FileChangedRO autocommand when checking out the file fails. |
| |
| Unix: When open() returns EFBIG give an appropriate message. |
| |
| ":mksession" sets the SessionLoad variable to notify plugins. A modeline is |
| added to the session file to set 'filetype' to "vim". |
| |
| In the ATTENTION prompt put the "Delete it" choice before "Quit" to make it |
| more logical. (Robert Webb) |
| |
| When appending to a file while the buffer has no name the name of the appended |
| file would be used for the current buffer. But the buffer contents is |
| actually different from the file content. Don't set the file name, unless the |
| 'P' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. |
| |
| When starting to edit a new file and the directory for the file doesn't exist |
| then Vim will report "[New DIRECTORY]" instead of "[New File] to give the user |
| a hint that something might be wrong. |
| |
| Win32: Preserve the hidden attribute of the viminfo file. |
| |
| In Insert mode CTRL-A didn't keep the last inserted text when using CTRL-O and |
| then a cursor key. Now keep the previously inserted text if nothing is |
| inserted after the CTRL-O. Allows using CTRL-O commands to move the cursor |
| without losing the last inserted text. |
| |
| The exists() function now supports checking for autocmd group definition |
| and for supported autocommand events. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| |
| Allow using ":global" in the sandbox, it doesn't do anything harmful by |
| itself. |
| |
| ":saveas asdf.c" will set 'filetype' to c when it's empty. Also for ":w |
| asdf.c" when it sets the filename for the buffer. |
| |
| Insert mode completion for whole lines now also searches unloaded buffers. |
| |
| The colortest.vim script can now be invoked directly with ":source" or |
| ":runtime". |
| |
| The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can |
| have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| |
| The 'statusline' option and other options that support the same format can now |
| use these new features: |
| - When it starts with "%!" the value is first evaluated as an expression |
| before parsing the value. |
| - "%#HLname#" can be used to start highlighting with HLname. |
| |
| When 'statusline' is set to something that causes an error message then it is |
| made empty to avoid an endless redraw loop. Also for other options, such at |
| 'tabline' and 'titlestring'. ":verbose set statusline" will mention that it |
| was set in an error handler. |
| |
| When there are several matching tags, the ":tag <name>" and CTRL-] commands |
| jump to the [count] matching tag. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |
| |
| Win32: In the batch files generated by the install program, use $VIMRUNTIME or |
| $VIM if it's set. Example provided by Mathias Michaelis. |
| Also create a vimtutor.bat batch file. |
| |
| The 'balloonexpr' option is now |global-local|. |
| |
| The system() function now runs in cooked mode, thus can be interrupted by |
| CTRL-C. |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7* |
| |
| Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and |
| probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version |
| and merge it back in. |
| |
| When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the |
| following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory. |
| |
| When compiling with EXITFREE defined and the ccmalloc library it is possible |
| to detect memory leaks. Some memory will always reported as leaked, such as |
| allocated by X11 library functions and the memory allocated in alloc_cmdbuff() |
| to store the ":quit" command. |
| |
| Moved the code for printing to src/hardcopy.c. |
| |
| Moved some code from main() to separate functions to make it easier to see |
| what is being done. Use a structure to avoid a lot of arguments to the |
| functions. |
| |
| Moved unix_expandpath() to misc1.c, so that it can also be used by os_mac.c |
| without copying the code. |
| |
| --- Mac --- |
| |
| "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to its |
| final destination. (Raf) |
| |
| Put the runtime directory not directly in Vim.app but in |
| Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim, so that it's according to Mac specs. |
| |
| Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and still |
| being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c file. |
| |
| When running "make install" the runtime files are installed as for Unix. |
| Avoids that too many files are copied. When running "make" a link to the |
| runtime files is created to avoid a recursive copy that takes much time. |
| |
| Configure will attempt to build Vim for both Intel and PowerPC. The |
| --with-mac-arch configure argument can change it. |
| |
| --- Win32 --- |
| |
| The Make_mvc.mak file was adjusted to work with the latest MS compilers, |
| including the free version of Visual Studio 2005. (George Reilly) |
| |
| INSTALLpc.txt was updated for the recent changes. (George Reilly) |
| |
| The distributed executable is now produced with the free Visual C++ Toolkit |
| 2003 and other free SDK chunks. msvcsetup.bat was added to support this. |
| |
| Also generate the .pdb file that can be used to generate a useful crash report |
| on MS-Windows. (George Reilly) |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7* |
| |
| When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr" |
| instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not |
| work. Use "LPT1" then. |
| |
| The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a |
| size. Use a default size of 10. |
| |
| This example in the documentation didn't work: |
| :e `=foo . ".c" ` |
| Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #. |
| |
| When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message. |
| |
| "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account. |
| |
| Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even |
| when it doesn't support MDI. |
| |
| Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work. |
| |
| "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white |
| space. |
| |
| Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use |
| SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched |
| for doesn't have an extension. |
| |
| When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character |
| may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the |
| cursor and not putting it back where it was. |
| |
| When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was |
| not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used |
| to make it work the old way. |
| |
| When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim |
| filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken. |
| |
| After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column. |
| |
| Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart |
| fields. (Walter Briscoe) |
| |
| On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De |
| Michele) |
| |
| Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a |
| CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams) |
| |
| When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was |
| ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5. |
| |
| Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control |
| characters. Also remove "'<,'>" when in Visual mode to avoid that it appears |
| twice. |
| |
| When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment |
| variables like for a regular command with a file argument. |
| |
| 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line |
| is indented too much. |
| |
| When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and |
| alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned |
| items. |
| |
| Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the |
| active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME. |
| |
| The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use |
| "cn" or "tw" as intended. |
| |
| When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break |
| after the last line while it's not there. |
| |
| Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when |
| resizing the GUI shell upon startup. |
| |
| Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a |
| string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored. |
| |
| When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would |
| contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre |
| and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name. |
| |
| strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh) |
| |
| GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives |
| just before it is invoked |
| |
| VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of |
| environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy) |
| |
| UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character |
| from the first character of the word. |
| |
| When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was |
| detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer(). |
| |
| When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index, |
| but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead. |
| |
| When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument |
| list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow |
| interrupting this. |
| |
| When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not |
| used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options |
| and global options remain unmodified. |
| |
| Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the |
| command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the |
| file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line. |
| |
| Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the |
| default value of 'isprint' was wrong. |
| |
| When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an |
| xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last |
| line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE. |
| |
| Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work. |
| |
| When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not |
| going to be used like a command. |
| |
| GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a |
| GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed. |
| |
| GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango. |
| |
| Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command |
| line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the |
| console version. |
| |
| Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because |
| there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2. |
| |
| When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header |
| files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the |
| directory for the library early in the link flags. |
| |
| With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was |
| literal text. Now it works for any pattern. |
| |
| When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still |
| cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction. |
| |
| When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead |
| buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up. |
| |
| Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes |
| problems for Terminal.app. |
| |
| When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or |
| end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains" |
| argument. |
| |
| When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting |
| has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come |
| back. |
| |
| When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there |
| was only one match. (Sergey Khorev) |
| |
| When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting |
| "cancel", would still give an error message. |
| |
| The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal |
| mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible. |
| |
| Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some |
| keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2). |
| |
| Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c |
| |
| In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is |
| selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break |
| is included, e.g., after "v$o". |
| |
| GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a |
| GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas) |
| |
| After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text. |
| |
| When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While |
| doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott |
| Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to |
| handle. Added handle_signal(). |
| |
| When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for |
| white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab. |
| |
| When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a |
| long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent() |
| being found in a library. |
| |
| When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command |
| may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text. |
| |
| Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding' |
| is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon) |
| |
| When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the |
| original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was |
| empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could |
| be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use |
| the values when recovering. |
| |
| ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file |
| message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that. |
| |
| Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and # |
| when building the ":drop" command. |
| |
| A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized. |
| E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment. |
| |
| "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")" |
| does. Also breaks "das" on that dot. |
| |
| When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k" |
| moved the cursor to another column. |
| |
| When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double |
| quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed |
| fold. |
| |
| In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line |
| break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes". |
| |
| Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki) |
| |
| Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar |
| (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki) |
| |
| When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was |
| not included. |
| |
| Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS. |
| Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests. |
| |
| When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above |
| the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position. |
| |
| Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>". |
| |
| When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode |
| (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert |
| mode. (Peter Winters) |
| |
| "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character. |
| |
| Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was |
| not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns(). |
| Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'". |
| |
| When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more |
| lines" overwrites the message. |
| |
| Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output. |
| |
| When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs |
| after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right |
| column in the wrong line. |
| |
| When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak" |
| starts with "sl". |
| |
| When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear |
| 'paste' when starting the GUI. |
| |
| A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL. |
| |
| When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode. |
| Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a |
| mapping. |
| |
| Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato) |
| |
| ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible. |
| |
| When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice |
| in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed. |
| |
| When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an |
| empty $SHELL value. |
| |
| A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty |
| file. |
| |
| When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still |
| moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is. |
| |
| When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put |
| the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This |
| is Vi compatible. |
| |
| Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior. |
| Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The |
| $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default. |
| |
| Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>' |
| flag to 'cpoptions' for this. |
| |
| Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi |
| compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this. |
| |
| When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi |
| leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in |
| 'cpoptions' for this. |
| |
| Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append". |
| |
| Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to |
| be Vi compatible. |
| |
| When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still |
| request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the |
| shell and caused trouble there. |
| |
| When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would |
| still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan |
| Lakshmanan) |
| |
| It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is |
| sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command. |
| |
| When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines |
| from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim. |
| |
| When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak. |
| |
| Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use |
| unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka) |
| |
| ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile". |
| |
| The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they |
| are executed. Abiguous command names were not completed properly. |
| |
| Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that |
| indirectly invokes ":normal". |
| |
| Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it |
| before invoking "diff". |
| |
| Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set |
| &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters) |
| |
| When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse |
| locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another |
| mouse model. |
| |
| When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed |
| characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event |
| is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a |
| character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer. |
| |
| Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like |
| ":1argadd *". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit". |
| |
| Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US". |
| |
| Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as |
| real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit) |
| |
| Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq" |
| always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text. |
| |
| When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype |
| detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still |
| compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been |
| decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "*". |
| |
| Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved |
| to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`". |
| Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line. |
| |
| "gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptable. |
| |
| When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash. |
| Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte. |
| |
| In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global |
| and reset it in nv_home(). |
| |
| Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around |
| spaces inside backticks. |
| |
| After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now |
| let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted. |
| This should be the most useful thing to do. |
| |
| ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give |
| an error message when the argument isn't recognized. |
| |
| In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in |
| reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov) |
| |
| When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now |
| call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo) |
| This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo. |
| |
| GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right |
| after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added |
| win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size. |
| |
| Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass |
| column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits |
| mouse column to 10000. |
| |
| searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that |
| we find the same position again and advance one character. |
| |
| When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting |
| to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window. |
| |
| When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION |
| prompt the argument index was advanced anyway. |
| |
| When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous |
| substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that. |
| |
| Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also |
| when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size |
| checks where invoking them |
| |
| ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't |
| show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work. |
| |
| When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded. |
| |
| GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or |
| removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we |
| change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment. |
| Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and |
| 'lines' to undo this. |

| When using the GTK plug mechanism, resizing and focus was not working |
| properly. (Neil Bird) |
| |
| After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with |
| ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands. |
| |
| When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N |
| may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented |
| character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer |
| so that mapping is done in the right mode. |
| |
| setbufvar() and setwinvar() did not give error messages. |
| |
| It was possible to set a variable with an illegal name, e.g. with setbufvar(). |
| It was possible to define a function with illegal name, e.t. ":func F{-1}()" |
| |
| CTRL-W F and "gf" didn't use the same method to get the file name. |
| |
| When reporting a conversion error the line number of the last error could be |
| given. Now report the first encountered error. |
| |
| When using ":e ++enc=name file" and iconv() was used for conversion an error |
| caused a fall-back to no conversion. Now replace a character with '?' and |
| continue. |
| |
| When opening a new buffer the local value of 'bomb' was not initialized from |
| the global value. |
| |
| Win32: When using the "Edit with Vim" entry the file name was limited to about |
| 200 characters. |
| |
| When using command line completion for ":e *foo" and the file "+foo" exists |
| the resulting command ":e +foo" doesn't work. Now insert a backslash: ":e |
| \+foo". |
| |
| When the translation of "-- More --" was not 10 characters long the following |
| message would be in the wrong position. |
| |
| At the more-prompt the last character in the last line wasn't drawn. |
| |
| When deleting non-existing text while 'virtualedit' is set the '[ and '] marks |
| were not set. |
| |
| Win32: Could not use "**/" in 'path', it had to be "**\". |
| |
| The search pattern "\n" did not match at the end of the last line. |
| |
| Searching for a pattern backwards, starting on the NUL at the end of the line |
| and 'encoding' is "utf-8" would match the pattern just before it incorrectly. |
| Affected searchpair('/\*', '', '\*/'). |
| |
| For the Find/Replace dialog it was possible that not finding the text resulted |
| in an error message while redrawing, which cleared the syntax highlighting |
| while it was being used, resulting in a crash. Now don't clear syntax |
| highlighting, disable it with b_syn_error. |
| |
| Win32: Combining UTF-8 characters were drawn on the previous character. |
| Could be noticed with a Thai font. |
| |
| Output of ":function" could leave some of the typed text behind. (Yegappan |
| Lakshmanan) |
| |
| When the command line history has only a few lines the command line window |
| would be opened with these lines above the first window line. |
| |
| When using a command line window for search strings ":qa" would result in |
| searching for "qa" instead of quitting all windows. |
| |
| GUI: When scrolling with the scrollbar and there is a line that doesn't fit |
| redrawing may fail. Make sure w_skipcol is valid before redrawing. |
| |
| Limit the values of 'columns' and 'lines' to avoid an overflow in Rows * |
| Columns. Fixed bad effects when running out of memory (command line would be |
| reversed, ":qa!" resulted in ":!aq"). |
| |
| Motif: "gvim -iconic" opened the window anyway. (David Harrison) |
| |
| There is a tiny chance that a symlink gets created between checking for an |
| existing file and creating a file. Use the O_NOFOLLOW for open() if it's |
| available. |
| |
| In an empty line "ix<CTRL-O>0" moved the cursor to after the line instead of |
| sticking to the first column. |
| |
| When using ":wq" and a BufWriteCmd autocmd uses inputsecret() the text was |
| echoed anyway. Set terminal to raw mode in getcmdline(). |
| |
| Unix: ":w a;b~c" caused an error in expanding wildcards. |
| |
| When appending to a file with ":w >>fname" in a buffer without a name, causing |
| the buffer to use "fname", the modified flag was reset. |
| |
| When appending to to current file the "not edited" flag would be reset. |
| ":w" would overwrite the file accidentally. |
| |
| Unix: When filtering text with an external command Vim would still read input, |
| causing text typed for the command (e.g., a password) to be eaten and echoed. |
| Don't read input when the terminal is in cooked mode. |
| |
| The Cygwin version of xxd used CR/LF line separators. (Corinna Vinschen) |
| |
| Unix: When filtering text through a shell command some resulting text may be |
| dropped. Now after detecting that the child has exited try reading some more |
| of its output. |
| |
| When inside input(), using "CTRL-R =" and the expression throws an exception |
| the command line was not abandoned but it wasn't used either. Now abandon |
| typing the command line. |
| |
| 'delcombine' was also used in Visual and Select mode and for commands like |
| "cl". That was illogical and has been disabled. |
| |
| When recording while a CursorHold autocommand was defined special keys would |
| appear in the register. Now the CursorHold event is not triggered while |
| recording. |
| |
| Unix: the src/configure script used ${srcdir-.}, not all shells understand |
| that. Use ${srcdir:-.} instead. |
| |
| When editing file "a" which is a symlink to file "b" that doesn't exist, |
| writing file "a" to create "b" and then ":split b" resulted in two buffers on |
| the same file with two different swapfile names. Now set the inode in the |
| buffer when creating a new file. |
| |
| When 'esckeys' is not set don't send the xterm code to request the version |
| string, because it may cause trouble in Insert mode. |
| |
| When evaluating an expression for CTRL-R = on the command line it was possible |
| to call a function that opens a new window, resulting in errors for |
| incremental search, and many other nasty things were possible. Now use the |
| |textlock| to disallow changing the buffer or jumping to another window |
| to protect from unexpected behavior. Same for CTRL-\ e. |
| |
| "d(" deleted the character under the cursor, while the documentation specified |
| an exclusive motion. Vi also doesn't delete the character under the cursor. |
| |
| Shift-Insert in Insert mode could put the cursor before the last character |
| when it just fits in the window. In coladvance() don't stop at the window |
| edge when filling with spaces and when in Insert mode. In mswin.vim avoid |
| getting a beep from the "l" command. |
| |
| Win32 GUI: When Alt-F4 is used to close the window and Cancel is selected in |
| the dialog then Vim would insert <M-F4> in the text. Now it's ignored. |
| |
| When ":silent! {cmd}" caused the swap file dialog, which isn't displayed, |
| there would still be a hit-enter prompt. |
| |
| Requesting the termresponse (|t_RV|) early may cause problems with "-c" |
| arguments that invoke an external command or even "-c quit". Postpone it |
| until after executing "-c" arguments. |
| |
| When typing in Insert mode so that a new line is started, using CTRL-G u to |
| break undo and start a new change, then joining the lines with <BS> caused |
| undo info to be missing. Now reset the insertion start point. |
| |
| Syntax HL: When a region start match has a matchgroup and an offset that |
| happens to be after the end of the line then it continued in the next line and |
| stopped at the region end match, making the region continue after that. |
| Now check for the column being past the end of the line in syn_add_end_off(). |
| |
| When changing a file, setting 'swapfile' off and then on again, making another |
| change and killing Vim, then some blocks may be missing from the swapfile. |
| When 'swapfile' is switched back on mark all blocks in the swapfile as dirty. |
| Added mf_set_dirty(). |
| |
| Expanding wildcards in a command like ":e aap;<>!" didn't work. Put |
| backslashes before characters that are special to the shell. (Adri Verhoef) |
| |
| A CursorHold autocommand would cause a message to be cleared. Don't show the |
| special key for the event for 'showcmd'. |
| |
| When expanding a file name for a shell command, as in "!cmd foo<Tab>" or ":r |
| !cmd foo<Tab>" also escape characters that are special for the shell: |
| "!;&()<>". |
| |
| When the name of the buffer was set by a ":r fname" command |cpo-f| no |
| autocommands were triggered to notify about the change in the buffer list. |
| |
| In the quickfix buffer 'bufhidden' was set to "delete", which caused closing |
| the quickfix window to leave an unlisted "No Name" buffer behind every time. |
| |
| Win32: when using two screens of different size, setting 'lines' to a large |
| value didn't fill the whole screen. (SungHyun Nam) |
| |
| Win32 installer: The generated _vimrc contained an absolute path to diff.exe. |
| After upgrading it becomes invalid. Now use $VIMRUNTIME instead. |
| |
| The command line was cleared to often when 'showmode' was set and ":silent |
| normal vy" was used. Don't clear the command line unless the mode was |
| actually displayed. Added the "mode_displayed" variable. |
| |
| The "load session" toolbar item could not handle a space or other special |
| characters in v:this_session. |
| |
| ":set sta ts=8 sw=4 sts=2" deleted 4 spaces halfway a line instead of 2. |
| |
| In a multi-byte file the foldmarker could be recognized in the trail byte. |
| (Taro Muraoka) |
| |
| Pasting with CTRL-V and menu didn't work properly when some commands are |
| mapped. Use ":normal!" instead of ":normal". (Tony Apuzzo) |
| |
| Crashed when expanding a file name argument in backticks. |
| |
| In some situations the menu and scrollbar didn't work, when the value contains |
| a CSI byte. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) |
| |
| GTK GUI: When drawing the balloon focus changes and we might get a key release |
| event that removed the balloon again. Ignore the key release event. |
| |
| 'titleold' was included in ":mkexrc" and ":mksession" files. |
| |
| ":set background&" didn't use the same logic as was used when starting up. |
| |
| When "umask" is set such that nothing is writable then the viminfo file would |
| be written without write permission. (Julian Bridle) |
| |
| Motif: In diff mode dragging one scrollbar didn't update the scrollbar of the |
| other diff'ed window. |
| |
| When editing in an xterm with a different number of colors than expected the |
| screen would be cleared and redrawn, causing the message about the edited file |
| to be cleared. Now set "keep_msg" to redraw the last message. |
| |
| For a color terminal: When the Normal HL uses bold, possibly to make the color |
| lighter, and another HL group specifies a color it might become light as well. |
| Now reset bold if a HL group doesn't specify bold itself. |
| |
| When using 256 color xterm the color 255 would show up as color 0. Use a |
| short instead of a char to store the color number. |
| |
| ml_get errors when searching for "\n\zs" in an empty file. |
| |
| When selecting a block and using "$" to select until the end of every line and |
| not highlighting the character under the cursor the first character of the |
| block could be unhighlighted. |
| |
| When counting words for the Visual block area and using "$" to select until |
| the end of every line only up to the length of the last line was counted. |
| |
| "dip" in trailing empty lines left one empty line behind. |
| |
| The script ID was only remembered globally for each option. When a buffer- or |
| window-local option was set the same "last set" location was changed for all |
| buffers and windows. Now remember the script ID for each local option |
| separately. |
| |
| GUI: The "Replace All" button didn't handle backslashes in the replacement in |
| the same way as "Replace". Escape backslashes so that they are taken |
| literally. |
| |
| When using Select mode from Insert mode and typing a key, causing lines to be |
| deleted and a message displayed, delayed the effect of inserting the key. |
| Now overwrite the message without delay. |
| |
| When 'whichwrap' includes "l" then "dl" and "yl" on a single letter line |
| worked differently. Now recognize all operators when using "l" at the end of |
| a line. |
| |
| GTK GUI: when the font selector returned a font name with a comma in it then |
| it would be handled like two font names. Now put a backslash before the |
| comma. |
| |
| MS-DOS, Win32: When 'encoding' defaults to "latin1" then the value for |
| 'iskeyword' was still for CPxxx. And when 'nocompatible' was set 'isprint' |
| would also be the wrong value. |
| |
| When a command was defined not to take arguments and no '|' no warning message |
| would be given for using a '|'. Also with ":loadkeymap". |
| |
| Motif: When using a fontset and 'encoding' is "utf-8" and sizeof(wchar_t) != |
| sizeof(XChar2b) then display was wrong. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) |
| |
| ":all" always set the current window to the first window, even when it |
| contains a buffer that is not in the argument list (can't be closed because it |
| is modified). Now go to the window that has the first item of the argument |
| list. |
| |
| GUI: To avoid left-over pixels from bold text all characters after a character |
| with special attributes were redrawn. Now only do this for characters that |
| actually are bold. Speeds up displaying considerably. |
| |
| When only highlighting changes and the text is scrolled at the same time |
| everything is redraw instead of using a scroll and updating the changed text. |
| E.g., when using ":match" to highlight a paren that the cursor landed on. |
| Added SOME_VALID: Redraw the whole window but also try to scroll to minimize |
| redrawing. |
| |
| Win32: When using Korean IME making it active didn't work properly. (Moon, |
| Yu-sung, 2005 March 21) |
| |
| Ruby interface: when inserting/deleting lines display wasn't updated. (Ryan |
| Paul) |
