I use neocomplcache 8.0. It is very good, But can't completes from all buffers. eg. There are *.c , *.v , *.txt in buffers. If I edit *.txt, it can't completes from *.c and *.v . How to solve this problem? I want it completes from all buffers.

I have a gvim session with: gvim --servername $USER and then I load new files with: vim --servername $USER and gvim will pop up into focus but generally my cursor will stay on the command line. I thought I had asked this before, so I googled and found quite a few (not my) posts: http://objectmix.com/editors/149356-gvim-window-not-given-focus-when-loading-file.html http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/raising-gvim-window-to-front-td1169442.html https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/vim_use/r4NKUumRrqE/rZN3U-Xv5ZsJ http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce/2006-January/016091.html --remote-tab &lt;file&gt; Also (might be a different issue) - when I open a file and a file has changed (the one I'm opening or one in another tab) like after a git checkout and vim is confused and asks me what to do, vim won't maintain focus after I deal with the dialog. If none of this is clear or reproducable, I'll look into a perltk test case. I have a script in my zshrc to automate this: # make vim use or initialize a session with a new tab unless... # alias this so that we can do \vim to get to the exe vimfunc () { local cmd local servername local remote local misc local version local username=$(echo $USER | tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]") local opt_ex="^-" while [ $# -gt 0 ] ; do case "$1" in --servername) if [[ $2 =~ $opt_ex ]] ; then echo "Servername option without a parameter.

One set of errors don't prevent vim touch from running, but they are puzzling and I suspect they are preventing spell check from working. Error detected while processing /storage/emulated/legacy/.vimrc line 39: E518 unknown option: /storage/emulated/0/.vim/spell/en.utf-8.add.spl line: Line 39 in the .vimrc is" set spellfile=/storage/emulated/0/.vim/spell/en.utf-8.add /storage/emulated/0/.vim/spell/en.utf-8.add.spl I'm taking it that this is one error. I've checked the help on E518 and it is total Greek to me. I believe line 39 is the correct specification in android of the paths to the the spell check files; no one on the android forums where I've also sought help with this has said it is not. Anyone have a clue why I'm getting this error.

"blue" is still #0000FF and red is still #FF0000, but "green" is half as bright. "green1" remains #00FF00. Green is the only colour I've noticed, and I've checked a few with a colour picker; f.ex. "dark slate grey" is still what runtime/rgb.txt says it is, #2F4F4F. /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt still has "0 255 0green". I've tried changing colour schemes, and other system settings, but nothing affects the colours gvim uses. Now I can easily work around this by replacing "green" with #00FF00, or "green1", but it's strange. Regards, John Little </pre> John Little 2013-05-19T11:30:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.vim/111896 <pre>tested long time no good results... so the goal here sounds simple: say I have * a long text file (over 50K lines), and * each line by itself is a nature paragraph, so sometime is very long (over 1000 charactors). * there are sometimes one of more empty line in between, sometimes not I wanted to format it into: 1. if 2 lines are adjoining, add an empty line to as a break 2. if 2 lines already have more than 1 empty lines in between, remove the extra and make sure only one empty line left. 3. trunk the long lines to multiple lines with each of 80 charactors initially I though its simple, just a ranged :g can do: :'&lt;, '&gt;global/.*/exec "normal! gqq" but this can only do task 3 above. for the task 1 and 2. I don't know of how to pass the lines found by :g to a function and some more magic there. so I turned to a normal function, with which I can read each line and do some adjustment there: func! GQeachline(...) range "ping: comments let lnum=a:firstline while lnum &lt;= a:lastline let line = getline(lnum) let l1len = len(line) echom "linenum: " . lnum . "length " . l1len if l1len &gt;= 80 echom "gq this line (" . l1len . " &gt; tw!" exec "normal! gqqj" elseif line =~ '^\s*$' "if it's an empty line echom "this line is empty" else echom "this line is short " . l1len endif let lnum=lnum+1 endwhile endfunc ""line number all changed " let lnum=a:firstline " while lnum &lt;= a:lastline " " let line = getline(lnum) " let l1len = len(line) " " let nlinenum=lnum+1 " let nline=getline(nlinenum) " " if nline =~ '^\s*$' " else " exec "normal! o\&lt;esc&gt;" " endif " " let lnum=lnum+1 " " endwhile command! -range=% -nargs=* GQeachline :&lt;line1&gt;,&lt;line2&gt;call GQeachline(&lt;q-args&gt;) map ,gQ :GQeachline&lt;CR&gt; these doesn't work well either --- once I did a gqq whenver got a longline, I changed the "current" text lines and so the next iteration might not work well. this is especially hard when I tried to insert empty lines based on what are the current lines I did some research and didn't find an existing solution on this. I feel this is a very generic task --- think about you got a ure text book (bible) and you just want to format it better... are there a good way to do it? thanks! regards ping </pre> ping 2013-05-18T20:41:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.vim/111894 <pre>Hi, is there a way to replace (for example) position 110-117 in each line of a text to (for example) to "." ? I only found regular expressions handling the length of matches but not their position in a line. Since what I want to acchieve lastly is lot of work I dont want to add n '.' or do wild calculations from positions to lengths of strings. Directly using the positions themselves would be nice.

I lost that mail chain and hence I am writing a separate one with a suggestion. Could the programatically contributing members please try to make Vim faster when opening large files? Even when I open a file of say 2 megs it takes 3-4 seconds more than say Ultraedit. Larger text files, say about a 100 megs, take minutes to open. I am so used to Vim since my early days, I by default open everything editable in it. The only problem I see is when I open such large text files. Else I feel absolutely at home working with this wonderful editor. Cheers!

The problem can be seen when the following snippet is highlighted as HTML. &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt; &lt;m:brkBin m:val="before"/&gt; &lt;m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/&gt; &lt;m:lMargin m:val="0"/&gt; &lt;m:rMargin m:val="0"/&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;/html&gt; The highlighting is correct through the '--', but they incorrectly terminate the comment region. The following '"/' are highlighted as an error, as are '[endif]', and the &lt;/head&gt; and &lt;/html&gt; tags are highlighted as comments. The problem seems to be this line in $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/html.vim (dated 2012 Oct 05), syn region htmlCommentPart contained start=+--+ end=+--\s*+ contains=&lt; at &gt;htmlPreProc,&lt; at &gt;Spell which doesn't account for the possibility of '--' being anywhere within a string. I don't know enough about syntax highlighting to know how to fix it, though, and I would rather help the author with a solution than just point out the problem, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone knew of a solution.
