I'm a Vim novice, and a writer not a programmer. I've perused the responses to
questions about folding in the Vim FAQ. It's largely Greek to me. I have a
couple questions: I understand folds can be indented. Is it possible to get Vim
to wrap words to the indent column? Is there a way I can get folds to persist
across a save and reload?

Thanks,

hi,

i would like to have python2.7 once running


:python import sys;  print sys.path

at the moment it shows

/Library/Python2.6/site-packages

but may main python is brew 2.7

which python /usr/local/bin/python --> ../Cellar/python/2.7.1/bin/python  ( +
all the other pip ipython, ....)

i m a bit confused.
why does vim not use brews python?

i tried the following from git source

./configure --with-features=huge --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp
--enable-perlinterp
--with-python-config-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.1/Frameworks/Python.framew\
ork/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config

but still

:python import sys;  print sys.path

outputs 2.6

any idea?

is there maybe a way to set the "main" python in vimrc ( would prefer to use
brew macvim instead of master)

many thanks

I'm a Vim novice, and a writer not a programmer. I've perused the responses to questions about folding in the Vim FAQ. It's largely Greek to me. I have a couple questions: I understand folds can be indented. Is it possible to get Vim to wrap words to the indent column? Is there a way I can get folds to persist across a save and reload?

But why do something manually when you can do it automatically? To see to it that Vim saves and restores folds when a file is closed and re-opened, add these two lines to your ~/.vimrc:

au BufWinLeave * mkview

au BufWinEnter * silent loadview

Now, each time you close a file, its fold state will be saved and reloaded when you reopen the file in Vim.

Guys, what's with the weird fonts and bad posting manners?  Please
turn off the rich text and bottom post on this list.  Thanks! :-)

Having said that, you should probably ask on vim_use if you need help
with building with a specific version of Python.  I have no experience
of this so can not be of much help (I do recall seeing this type of
discussions several times before, did you try searching old posts?).

Two tips: dynamic Python is not supported on Mac OS X (as far as I
know), and Python 3 needs a separate flag from Python 2.x
(--enable-python3interp, as opposed to --enable-pythoninterp).  Type

./configure --help

to see all flags to configure (there are quite a few related to Python).

Hey Eric

Rather spend so many times writing your own indenting, have you tried
org mode for vim plugin? search org mode in vim scripts, and should
have some videos to show what it is.
alternative you can use emacs org mode, even though emacs org mode is
so much more powerful but i still love vim more, cos is much more
intuitive than emacs,

using org mode plugin for vim, it has really simple indent method such
as using the " * " symbol to create heading-> sub-heading, unlimited

* 1
** 2
*** 2.1
**** 2.1.1
**** 2,1.2
** 3
*** 3.1

and other really amazing functions such as GTD, calendar, tagging blah
blah you can find them in the videos since i mostly just use the
indentation to record notes

i don't think it remembers the state which line is folded which is
not, its all folded when opening the file, but it is quite simple,
just use "tab" key than it expands and minimizes, much easier than
zR... even you add a shortcut, it still doesn't beat "tab"

if you also like to use the @tags , its good that you also get the
plugin of compview, this gives you a small slide down buffer letting
you see all your search results, when you highlight the line in that
small buffer, you will jump your view in your working buffer to that
line. to trigger it use the leader key than v eg:  \v

have a go at it, i think you should love them as a writer.  invest
sometime in org mode plugin for vim, it saves you the headache of
making one your own.

I’m using the Janus distribution, with includes NERDTree. My MacVim is
set to open with 152 columns (113, my textwidth, plus space for
NERDTree and line numbers.)

What I want to do, is ensure that when I open new vertical-splits from
NERDTree (or any other way, most specificaly my secondary method of
splitting, which is `-O` from the commandline: `mvim -O "./"
"a_specific_file_to_begin_editing" "and_another_one"`) that the MacVim
window itself resizes to maintain that pattern: 31 columns for
NERDTree, plus 121 columns per vsplit.

So, opening MacVim with two files from the command-line should set the
MacVim window to 273 columns, with three files it should be 394,
etcetera etcetera etcetera. The same rules should apply anytime I open
or close a vsplit with NERDTree or `:q` or whatnot.

Any help with this is appreciated! I’m a vim (and MacVim) noob, but
I’m enjoying what I’m learning so far. :D

set guioptions-=T

colorscheme murphy

just .vimrc will do

the guioptions-=T kind of useless on mac, you can just hit the button
on the top right of the macvim window to show/hide the tools.

I don't have a proper answer to this question, but let me give you a
lo-tech answer that I use e.g. when viewing diffs.  I've got these
mappings in my ~/.gvimrc

map <D-1> :set co=80<CR>
map <D-2> :set co=165<CR>:winc =<CR>

When I diff something (with two vertical views) I hit Cmd-2 to resize
the window so that both views have 80 columns (the extra columns are
for the split and the gutter).  When I am finished close the split and
hit Cmd-1 to go back to 80 columns.

There may be a way to automate this using autocommands but I cannot
help you with that.  Try asking on vim_use.

My apologies for the vagueness, Peter.

And thanks. Problem solved. When I opened the file in MacVim I saw that it had
"^Ms" at the beginning and end of the lines. I had created the file in another
editor and must have saved it with CRLF format.

My MacVim version is 7.3.

No problem :-)
It's just been my experience, that "guess" often turned out to be != reality ;-)

Great news. Glad you got it worked out.

*nah* How can you edit a vim config file with any other editor but vim ... ;-)

Perhaps the vim_mac lists triggers a response?
