Hello Vim users,

Upon request I have added a voting item:

- better plugin management system: automatic updates and dependencies

The manual downloading of scripts is a bit cumbersome.  Some automatic
way, kind of an app store, would be useful.
How to do this is another question.  There are some useful remarks
here: http://www.charlietanksley.net/philtex/sane-vim-plugin-management/


If you already have votes, you can change them here:
http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote.php

To be able to vote you have to sponsor Vim development with at least 10
euro.  More information here: http://www.vim.org/sponsor/index.php

As always, the money is used to help needy children in Uganda.


PS. Don't forget to do your Amazon orders through:

Yes, you can change the amount of space.  Take a look at

:h macvim-user-defaults

You will want to change the various MMTextInset* user defaults.

Have you checked out Vundle? Seems to fit the description.

It's been a huge help to me!

Hi guys,

I use macvim+vim-latex+skim, but I'm having issues getting the forward
search to work. I have the inverse searching set up fine but when I
try to apply Ted Pavlic's patch on:
http://phaseportrait.blogspot.com/2007/12/pdfsync-inverse-searches-in-macvim.htm\
l,
I get this error (with both the latest version of vim-latex and the
2007 one that this was built for):

patching file compiler.vim

Hunk #2 succeeded at 272 (offset 7 lines).

Anyone have forward searching working on their macvim that might have

Often when I change colorschemes via :colors X the new scheme doesn't
work completely, most often because bold/italics aren't rendered as
bold/italics. If I restart vim, the bold/italics appear using that
color scheme. Is there a way to force this to happen without
restarting vim?

Sorry, I haven't had coffee yet.
I've tried other methods and couldn't get help on that either.
Typing literally
:h <D-t>
didn't work.
Trying ˆV and the actual shortcut didn't work either.

I just found out that literal
:h <C-A>
displays cmdline.txt while
:h ^A (using ^V to enter ^A)
displays change.txt.
Why the difference?

Thanks,
Dado

You must either have a very old version of MacVim, or you're not
running MacVim at all.  Get the latest version from:

I'm on MacVim (thank you!)
I'm on build 53, OSX 10.6.8
MacVim says I'm up-to-date.
I see there's a build 62 for 10.6.x but the wording suggests it's not
the most stable release.
Is that what most 10.6 users are using?
I was under the impression that the latest builds where more about Lion
compatibility but otherwise no different than build 53.

Thanks,
Dado

I still recommending a later snapshot (62 is available for 10.6) -- it
contains several bug fixes.  If you'd rather stay on build 53, then
you can read the latest help file at [1].  Just search for "cmd-key".

I'm not familiar with this problem.  Can you come up with a reliable
way to reproduce it?

In order to work around it you should be able to "reset" the syntax
highlighting by typing

:syntax off

followed by

:syntax on

and then perhaps setting your color scheme again.

As MacVim says I'm up-to-date I thought that was the best release (at
least for my OS)
I'll gladly update to 62.

Thanks a lot for all you do
Dado

You probably want something that only offers in sublime editor, its
currently in beta. Its the next closest thing from vim, (other than
emac) but more public friendly.

Hello!


I want to add a syntax file for AppleScript to MacVim.
I have found one at http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1736,
that I copied in ~/.vim/syntax AND in /Applications/MacVim.app/
Contents/Resources/vim/runtime/syntax, but AppleScript doesn't appear
under the menu "Syntax" in MacVim.

After searching the group's discussions I have added the line

      au! BufNewFile,BufRead *.scpt setf applescript

in my ~/.vimrc... but this doesn't help either. :-(

Have I missed something?
Or is another way to do this?

Thanks!


Kind regards,
Vlad Ghitulescu

Hello, Zhao Cai!


Thank you for your reply!

That works - the applescript is now colored as it should, according to
the file-extension .applescript - but the entry "AppleScript" still
doesn't appear under the Syntax-menu.

Any idea?

Thanks again!


Kind regards,
Vlad Ghitulescu

What color scheme is that and how do you get the tab lines to show up like that?

I have never used this another way around (implicitly, through the
extension) - and on a PC it works via the menu.
No, it doesn't, you're right - but I'm still wondering! ;-)

Thanks again!

It is fast to `:set ft=???` instead of look for the menu. But if you really want
to know, check the file `synmenu.vim` in system runtime path.

I am using MacVim 7.3 under Lion.

Now here is something that puzzles me with UTF8 files.

I write a small text file in MacVim, saved it with utf-8 file
encoding, opened it in TextEdit, and I get all these funny square-root
characters instead of umlauts.

And vice versa, I wrote simple text file in TextEdit, set the
preferences of TextEdit such that it saves files always as UTF-8,
saved the file, opened it in MacVim -- and I get all these funny <9c>
characters instead of umlauts.

I also experimented a little with the extended attribute
com.apple.TextEncoding, to no avail.

Can anybody tell me, which is the correct way to write/save UTF-8
files?

Best regards,
Gabriel.

Hello again, Zhao Cai!


1.- I don't quite understand what do you mean with ":set ft=???", it
get's me an error (E474: Invalid argument: ft=???) in MacVim.

2.- There is definitely NO entry for AppleScript in the synmenu.vim:

(...)
an 50.10.260 &Syntax.AB.Apache-style\ config :cal
SetSyn("apachestyle")<CR>
an 50.10.270 &Syntax.AB.Applix\ ELF :cal SetSyn("elf")<CR>
(...)


Kind regards,
Vlad Ghitulescu

If the program which will read the text can handle a BOM, use it, even
with UTF-8. In Vim, this is done with ":setlocal bomb". It is usable
for HTML, CSS, and some others. It is not usable for anything where
the first line must start with #! (Unix shell scripts, Perl, ...). I
think it doesn't work with C/C++ either but I could be wrong.

For XML and HTML files the charset can also be declared in the file,
as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
or
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

but (unlike the BOM) these are not recognised by Vim's fileencoding
detection heuristics

Now the umlauts:
Character - Latin1 hex - UTF-8 hex - UTF-8 mistranslated as Latin1
ä           E4           C3 A4       ä
Ä           C4           C3 84       Ã
ë           EB           C3 AB       Ã<<
Ë           CB           C3 8B       Ã
etc. (Latin 1 hex is also Unicode ordinal, i.e. ä <-> U+00E4 etc.)
