Hello Vim users,

Vim users donate quite some money to my favorite charity: Kibaale
Childrens Centre.  I went there to check out what they have been doing
with all this money.  You can read my report here:

	 http://www.iccf.nl/news.html

I discovered they are now using Vim in school, although not quite as you
would expect...

Happy Vimming!

Hi,

I got my new MacAir which is installed the Mountain Lion System (Mac OSX
10.8.2). I did install the latest version of MacVim which is compatible with
this fancy operating system. Now I have two questions

1) I do not know why some .gpl or /data files are shown in an executable file
icon while others are shown in a normal text file icon. Actually all these are
set to open with MacVim and Change all in the "get info" window. Could you help
to figure out? I do not think files open with MacVim should be shown as an
executable file icon. Very funny to me.
See two snapshots below

2) Some files open with Mac Vim are shown in color style, while others (for
example, .gpl files) does not, which, however, can be shown in color style in
the Mac OSX 10.6.8. I like the color style texting, which can make me easy to
locate. Could you show me the command for this setting?

Here are two snapshots for this issue.

Best,

Yun

I haven't tested, but strongly suspect that the difference between the two
groups of files is that the ones showing with an executable file icon have one
or more of the executable permission bits set in their file permissions (mode).
If, in the shell, running "ls -l" shows a correspondence between the files in
question and those that have "x" anywhere in the first field, then running
"chmod a-x affected-file-names" should fix the problem. This, of course, is
assuming that you don't need to execute them directly (by clicking from the
finder or typing their names at a prompt).

locate. Could you show me the command for this setting?

It's all a matter of what syntax files MacVim has available and what code it
uses to determine which one to apply (by setting the "filetype" variable). I'm
assuming that your ".gpl" files are for Gnuplot. The runtime files for current
MacVim are under:

	 /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime/

And MacVim has a syntax file for Gnuplot, kept in syntax/gnuplot.vim (under that
directory).

There are entries in the filetype.vim and scripts.vim files which will set the
filetype variable for a given file to "gnuplot" if either a) the filename ends
with ".gpi" (note not ".gpl") or b) the first line of the file starts with "#!"
and contains "gnuplot" (more specifically, contains what looks like a valid path
to gnuplot).

I'm guessing either the rules have changed a bit since the last version you used
(MacVim generally incorporates the latest version of Vim available), or, perhaps
you used to have a custom setting to treat ".gpl" files as gnuplot. This could
be accomplished by adding the line:

	 au  BufNewFile,BufRead  *.gpl  setf gnuplot

to your ~/.vim/filetype.vim file (creating the directory and file if necessary).
I suspect others here can suggest slightly cleaner/more proper methods of
implementing this, but the above ought to work.

Cheers,
Carl

There are a few projects that extracted chromium's tabs (for example
https://github.com/rsms/chromium-tabs). I don't know if they are actively
maintained though. Tweaking the appearance is probably fairly easy using
PSMTabBarControl's assets.

Hello Vim users,

I have updated the handy desktop calendar for 2013.  It prints on one
sheet of paper and, after folding and applying a bit of glue, stands on
your desk.  Well, I suppose it would stand on most things.  Although I
don't recommend placing it on top of your dog.

It is available in English and Dutch.  You can find it on my website:
http://moolenaar.net/#Calendar

If you are doing your Christmas shopping on Amazon, please consider
using the links on this page: http://www.iccf.nl/click1.html
A percentage of the sales will go to Vim's charity, helping children in
Uganda,

Happy Vimming!

I suspect we need to add some code to autoconf to handle the different
path names.  They probably differ on various versions of the OS, and
perhaps different installations of MzScheme.

I would appreciate someone sending me a patch for that.

Since I'm hitting Command-P a lot when I really want Ctrl-P, I wanted to remove
the print mapping and assign <D-P> to <C-P>.

The <D-P> mapping just doesn't seem to take, though. It just performs P instead.

macmenu File.Print key=<nop>
nmap <D-P> <C-P>


`nmap <D-P> <nop>` doesn't seem to work either, still just performing P.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Has anybody been seeing pretty consistent kernel panics in MacVim? I just
experienced my third in three days and second today.

I just installed the latest snapshot, so we'll see if anything's changed to fix
the problem, but I thought I'd throw this question out there to see if anyone
else was having the same problem.

Thanks everybody!

Perhaps you turned on the 'tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard' program?


I also had this issue, after I upgraded from Snow Leopard(10.6) to Mountain
Lion(10.8).
Like you, I had nearly one panic a day. The kernel panic log showed: "negative
open count"
Upgrading/Compiling MacVim did not solve the issue. I was using 7.3 before
upgrading the OS.

I recalled that I was using the 'tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard' program before
upgrading to Mountain Lion.

https://github.com/ChrisJohnsen/tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard

I wasn't sure it had anything to do with it, but at least it was something that
was interacting with the lower level and Vim, so I thought it was worth a try.
I decided to turn off that program, and see how well it goes along.
That was early November... and I haven't met any crashes since then.

Hello everybody.
I'am issuing the following problem. At home I'm using Ubuntu and GVim version
7.3 It works as i should be, but I'm issuing speed problems with the MacVim at
my work. Macvim is installed via brew (also version 7.3). The speed of cursor
moving over symbols is way to slow (with the rather small file being edited --
about 200-250 lines). How do I cope with this problem? Maybe changing some
rendering options?

Hi Eric

I used iTunes to put .vim .vimrc and .gvimrc on an iPhone for Vim app
to use. It is working quite well.

The .gvimrc has only:
set guifont=Courier:h18
As the default font on iPhone is too small.

The .vimrc is a tiny version of what I use on Mac, Linux and Windows.
If you like I will post it here.

I also used iTunes to upload several 'reference' files with info I
need remotely. These files are big enough that other iPhone editors
are too slow and do not have the search capability.

I use :E to look around the ios (not jailbroke) file structure.
:help :Explore

I have reported a few bugs, and DropBox support is talked about.

I also hope to see an update.

Bill

Thanks, Bee. I'm encouraged by your response. I'm curious: Are you able to see
what's on the iOS device from iTunes? Comments by the developers of Vim for the
iPad suggest it should be possible, but I'm not finding a way.

You speak about iPhone editors. What can be done with them? Navigate to files on
the device? Move files in and out? Shouldn't these work on the iPad, too? Might
there be enhanced versions of them around somewhere?

I'm lead to believe---don't ask me by what---that all the files needed by Vim
and all documents created with it are contained in a single app folder on the
iPad. If so, is it possible to put folders in there? And if folders, plugins?

Regards,

I used to use with my installation on the MacBook, until I started using the
sessions plugin. Most of my writing in vim is in vimwiki, so I don't need to
access files outside vimwiki very often.

But I did as you suggested in the Vim for iPad app. Not sure where I went from
the iPad into the Vim app, but definitely inside the Vim app there is a very
complex file structure. Looks to me like plugins could be used.

I am handicapped at the moment without the key mappings, which I was given by
folks on vim_use shortly after getting started with vim. I never really learned
the actual vim commands. I guess it's time.

>Thanks, Bee. I'm encouraged by your response.
>I'm curious:

Yes. In iTunes,
specific apps are listed and you can transfer to/from them.
Many apps have DropBox support, which to me, is preferable.

>You speak about iPhone editors.

Most are for both iPhone and iPad, hence...
I will refer to all as ios editors.

Vim is my favorite, this IS the first version, although it works
amazingly well, it needs DropBox support, system clipboard
integration and a few bug fixes.

Other free editors: DraftPad, Nebulous Lite, LocNotes, Nocs are
quite good. They usually have DropBox support and use the system
clipboard.

Another editor called 'free writing' is quite experimental, some
interesting ideas but difficult for me to use. I like its custom
keyboard.

>What can be done with them?

The iPhone's on screen keyboard is tiny, but I can take notes,
compose responses to vim_use, vim_mac... it is easier with an
editor than in a web browser text box.

These things are not possible, yet, with ios vim because it does
not have a way to use the system clipboard for copy and paste,
even though :ve shows +clipboard.

I have compiled reference files I use to support my client's
systems and networks. ios vim will open very large files quickly
and is able to use regex search. Whereas ANY other ios editor I
have tried is extremely slow doing the same task, most do not
have a search, and none I have yet found have regex search.

With ios vim I can also edit those files and create new ones.

Bad news: those files, currently, are not accessible by anyother ios
app.
Good news: those files, currently, are not accessible by anyother ios
app.

That is to say they are out of sight, so if the iPhone is lost,
there is little chance a casual iPhone user would even know of
their existence.

It is even possible to open encrypted vim files transferred from my
Mac.

>Navigate to files on the device?

Yes, I can navigate anywhere on the device, read files, but this
iPhone is NOT jailbroke, so I do not have write access. When I
did 'look around', I felt more comfortable with the ios,
knowing it is truly unix.

>Move files in and out? Shouldn't these work on the iPad, too?

Yes, any ios device... iPad or iPhone are the same.

>Might there be enhanced versions of them around somewhere?

There are MANY editors for ios.
There is rumor of Microsoft Word for ios.
Apple has Pages for ios. The Mac version of Pages is excellent!
I have not yet downloaded it, but iText Pro, one of my favorite
simple word processors for the Mac, has an ios version called
iText Pad.

There are also several spreadsheets for ios.

As I understand, yes, all files are in the ios vim app 'package'.

I have added these to ios vim using iTunes:
.vim - this is a folder containing plugins...
.vimrc - the vim preference file
.gvimrc - the gui vim preference file, and ios vim IS 'gui'

The .vimrc is similar to what I use on Mac, Linux and Windows:
relative line numbers, incsearch, ignorecase
autoindent, nosmartindent, expandtab, smarttab,
tabstop=1, shiftwidth=1, because iPhone display is tiny
mappings for easier navigation within a file
nmap <lf> <cr> to ease unix system file navigation

The .gvimrc:
set guifont=Courier:h18
because the default font for iPhone is too small.

I have not found any ios vim specific documentation, but have
played enough to find one and two finger gestures.

It is possible to use a bluetooth keyboard with the iPhone,
but I do not have one, and I am curious what can be done
with the minimum. The small screen is very tiring to view but...

ios vim is amazingly usable, with DropBox and clipboard support
it will be the best editor I have tried for ios, but it may be
that I am just a HAPPY vim user on Mac, Linux, Windows, and now
ios :)

Thanks, Bee.

When I select Vim from the apps set up for sharing on iTunes, click on the add
button and select a file on the MacBook, and then click on the Save to...
button, Finder does not show the iPad as a connected device. I don't see any way
to navigate to it.

If I could get a modified .vimrc on the iPad the Vim app would be a lot more
useable for me.

The iPad is connected to the MacBook by the usb cable.

You will need to make a copy of your '.vimrc',
re-name it 'v', and save it to the desktop.

You need this step because the Mac file open dialog
will not see the .vimrc file because it is a unix hidden file.

When you get it on the ios device you will need to
re-name it back to '.vimrc'.

Now:
+ connect ios device to the Mac with usb
+ open iTunes
+ click on the ios device mounting icon
+ at the bottom click the vim icon
+ click the Add... button, you will NOT use 'Save to...' button
+ use the file open dialog to browse to your 'v' file
+ select it and click Open

The 'v' file will show in the list above the Add... button and
it has been transferred to the ios device.

You do not use the 'Save to...' button when transferring to the
ios device, only when transferring from the ios device to Mac.

Note:
strings in '...' single quotes are to be typed LITERALLY
but without the single quotes.

Now for the tricky part:
+ open vim on the ios device
+ type this LITERALLY 'nm <lf> <cr>' then press return
- that will map linefeed to carriage return
+ type ':E' then press return (note uppercase 'E')
+ you should now be browsing the file system and
- see the 'v' file
+ use two fingers to scroll and hide keyboard
+ use one finger to select the 'v' file
+ select the 'v' file and type 'R' for Rename
+ delete the 'v' and type '.vimrc'
- because you do not have cursor keys
+ use two fingers to scroll and hide keyboard
+ use one finger to select the '.vimrc' file
- then press return
+ you should now be back in vim looking at your .vimrc file!
+ add 'nm <lf> <cr>' to your '.vimrc' file
