Unicode issue

Edward Garbowski — 2011-12-13T16:09:55

I am having an issue with opening a text file with no BOM.  I have a
text file that opens fine in Notepad, but if I open it in VIM I just
get garbage.

If I look at the hex code, there is no BOM in the beginning.  If I put
a BOM in, it works.

How can I make VIM work with no BOM on reading a file?  Or is this a
bug of some kind?

I am using version 7.3.46

Ed

auto complete help

Brett — 2011-04-17T07:00:26

Hi guys, I’m wondering how I can get VIM autocomplete to list all the mysqli functions in PHP.
It has some but not all, for (e.g.) mysqli_connect_error is there but mysqli_connect is not is there a way to fix this??
I’ve just compiled VIM and a fresh copy of php that does have all the mysqli functions.... Am I missing something??

I’m brand new to  vim...... I’ve decided windows sucks  and I’m running debian now _______________________________________________

Candidates for deletion

John Beckett — 2010-03-03T04:07:26

Please consider the pages recommended for deletion:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Candidates_for_deletion

Next Tuesday I intend deleting the pages listed.

There are a couple of particularly unhelpful old tips in the
list, but I now have a new way of dealing with unwanted existing
tips: I just replace the tip with a redirect to another tip
which covers the same topic.

In the future, I think I will just delete any pages listed for
deletion for at least 28 days, without giving any other notice,
particularly when the deletion looks routine.

Please reply if you see any problems, or edit the talk page of
the above.

Need good tab-page tips on Vim Tips wiki

Benjamin Fritz — 2009-11-26T06:16:30

I sometimes hang out on the #vim channel on Freenode, where use of tab
pages is often discouraged in favor of efficient use of the
buffer/argument lists, split windows, and the 'hidden' option.

Personally, I prefer using tab pages in many circumstances, but have
never really had any specific advantages or features of tab pages that
I can bring up to support my preference.

On the Vim Tips Wiki, we have in the category description of
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Tabs an indication that the
category contains tips that "exploit Vim's tab page design to do
clever things you can't do in other editors", but there are very few
tips in this category that actually offer this.

I'm sure there are clever ideas out there that leverage the power of
tab pages in Vim, that are difficult or impossible to accomplish
otherwise. I'd like to add some of these ideas to the Tabs category on
the wiki.

Please add these ideas to the wiki directly, or respond to this
thread. You don't need to make the tip perfect before addin

News: RTE, SEO, Syntax highlighting

John Beckett — 2009-09-04T03:55:50

Some Vim Tips wiki news and requests for opinions:

RTE: Wikia introduced a "Rich Text Editor" for new users who
want to type pure text with bold and italics. The RTE is very
unhelpful when editing a Vim Tip and I want to ask Wikia to
remove the editor.

I need people to quickly say "*Remove ~~~~" or "*Keep ~~~~"
(click "edit" on the Comments line at the bottom) at
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/User:JohnBeckett/Rich_text_editor

SEO: I am hoping to boost the wiki's Google rank with some
changes. SEO ideas are needed:

Syntax highlighting: MediaWiki has been upgraded to 1.15.1 and
it is likely that we will have syntax highlighting for Vim
scripts in about a week from now.

Minor irritation: Date stamps are now U.S. That applies to
signatures on talk pages, and history pages. It's an irritation
for those of us who also spend some time at Wikipedia where we
get used to searching for "
