I think you're confusing setting the filetype with setting
other option values for a particular filetype.  You could put
an "au BufRead,BufNewFile ..." command in your ~/.vimrc,
~/.vim/filetype or ~/.vim/ftdetect/<filetype>.vim file, but you
would not put one in a ~/.vim/ftplugin/<filetype>.vim or
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/<filetype>.vim file because because it
wouldn't be triggered until the _next_ BufRead or BufNewFile
event after the one that caused the filetype plugin to be
sourced.

Best regards,
Gary

That may or may not be correct, depending on the expectations of
your readers and/or your compiler or interpreter.  If any of the
consumers of your code are expecting tab stops of, say, 8 spaces,
then using tabs with a tab-stop setting of 2 spaces may not be a
good idea.

I'm not saying setting ts=2 is always a bad idea; I'm just saying
that it's not always correct.

Thank you very much for your help! Sorry for the long delay in my
answer - i was very busy at work.

I did not have my own .vimrc file: after copying my standard gvimrc
the tab completion worked.

But the ":e ." to browse the file system still does not work. Tried to
install netrw.vim but that resulted in the error
"E492: Not an editor command: UseVimball" when :so % sourcing the .vim
file.

But on the M$ windows machines and on the 6.3 versions on linux ":e ."
works out of the box - am I missing here something too?

Again lots of thanks for your advice!

Glad it mostly worked for you :)

That's

   :g/           On every line that matches
   ^Lesson \d\+  "Lesson" at the beginning of the line
                 followed by one or more digits
   /             perform the following action(s)
                 [1]
   /^Abstract/   From the current match's line, search
                 forward for the word "Abstract" at the
                 beginning of the line
                 [2]
   ;             through [3]
   /^-\@!/       the next line that doesn't start with
                 a dash
   t             copy it ("it" = the range from "Abstract"
                 through the next non-dash line)
   $             to the end of the file


Notes:
[1] the form is ":g/pattern/action", where "action" in this case
is a form of "{range}command"...the range happens to be specified
relatively by searching instead of by absolute line counts

[2] If you didn't want the word "Abstract" to be copied to your
results at the bottom, you could use "/^Abstract/+1" to start the
range on the line *following* "Abstract"

[3] This was my side-note/complaint in my previous email...I'm
not really sure why this doesn't work with a "," instead of a ";"
because I'm fairly certain I've done stuff almost exactly like
this before using the comma and it's worked.

The "//" is actually the adjacency of the end of the ":g" command
and the beginning of a search relative-reference:

    :g/pattern/command
              ^ the first "/"

where "command" is (as mentioned above in [1])

    {range}t$

The "{range}" just happens to be "/^Abstract/;/^-\@!/"
                                    ^ the second "/"

> another question: "Lesson is disappeared?"

I'm not sure I understand how to interpret this:

1) You meant "'Lesson' is completely gone from my file?!"
No...if the file was big enough, the stuff dumped at the bottom
will fill the screen, hiding the original content (containing
"Lesson") at the top.  My Ex command(s) perform no deletion (only
copies), so the top half of the file should remain the same.  The
easiest way to see this is to put a bar at the bottom of your
original file (something like

    :$put=repeat('=', 50)
or
    G50A=<esc>

to put in a "=========="-type bar).  That way, you can see where
the original data ended and where the Abstract collection begins

2) You meant "I wanted to copy 'Lesson' down as well, but forgot
to mention that in my original post about copying Abstracts" :)
That's a bit more complex, but not too bad.  My first thought
(untested) would be something like changing my

   :g/^Lesson \d\+//^Abstract/;/^-\@!/t$
to
   :g/^Lesson \d\+/ka|t$|'a/^Abstract/;/^-\@!/t$

which

    ka      drops mark "a" on the Lesson line so we can come back
    |       then
    t$      copies the Lesson line to the bottom
            (which moves the current location to the bottom)
    |       and then
    'a      go back to the original Lesson line
    ...     and do the rest of the stuff to copy the Abstract


It does require tromping on one of your bookmarks, so if you have
something sacred marked as "a", you can choose another bookmark
letter to use in both places.


For help targets on all of this (some of which you mentioned
finding):

    :help :g
    :help :range       " especially about a page down on ";"
    :help :t
    :help :k
    :help :'
    :help :bar
    :help /^
    :help /\@!
    :help /\d
    :help /\+

Hope this gives you a clearer picture of how that command breaks
down and can be reworked.

It seems the 'Sender' header has gone missing from posts that are sent to me. It
used to always be included, with the list address as the sender, and today it
started no longer being included. My email filters now don't work.

Anyone know anything about this? A weird inexplicable Google Groups thing?
Something we could/should follow up? Something our list admins have changed?

One of these days I'll get a bit more active on the list again...just too much
on
this year to keep abreast of it all on the whole, unfortunately.

If I understood you well, you need to surround some lines of code
between braces. That can be done with the surround plugin as follows:
  - select the lines of text you wish to surround
  - type s{

To indent properly, you can type vi{ to select the block of text
between braces, and then type = (or shift+>) to indent correctly.

bye.

Hi

Is there a way to specify more than one command on ex mode (when i
type ":").
e.g. right now I have to do something like
:cscope kill 0
:cscope add /path/to/cscope.out /path/to/

But I want to do it on a single line, e.g something like
:cscope kill 0 ; cscope add /path/to/cscope.out /path/to/

I used ";" "," etc to separate the two, but it doesn't work

TIA

Well, something weird definitely happened, since I seem to have been

This leads me to help of "pattern", but I think I don't need those.
I would like to run n ex commands in a single go, rather than

Hello!

xmledit <http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=301> defines many
useful text-editing commands, one of them being "Delete Tag" (\d). However, I
would prefer some other "leader character", as '\' is cumbersome for me to type.
I would like to have ',' (comma) as the leader character for XML-files. How do I
change the setting?

I've read the page
<http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Mapping_keys_in_Vim_-_Tutorial_%28Part_3%29>. It
states that,
"Vim replaces <Leader> with the 'mapleader' value only when defining the map and
not when the map is invoked. This means that after several map commands are
defined if the 'mapleader' variable is changed, it will not affect the
previously defined maps."

So I figure that I need to change the setting in ~/.vim/ftplugin/xml.vim file,
before
  `nnoremap <silent> <buffer> <LocalLeader>'
commands. I tried to insert this line
  let maplocalleader = ","

right after the line
  let b:did_ftplugin = 1 (line 28 in my file).
But that didn't work. So what would be the correct place to make the change?

Thanks for anyone taking time with this.

Best vimshes,
Tuomas

Pattern for a C-comment (with leading slash for the search command):
     /\/\*\_[^*]*\*\+\%(\_[^\/*]\_[^*]*\*\+\)*\/

Pattern for a Line-comment:
     /\/\/.*\n

You want something like:
     /)\_s*\%(\%(C-comment\|Line-comment\)\_s*\)\{-}return

Now, "C-comment" and "Line-comment" replaced with the real patterns:
/)\_s*\%(\%(\/\*\_[^*]*\*\+\%(\_[^\/*]\_[^*]*\*\+\)*\/\|\/\/.*\n\)\_s*\)\{-}retu\
rn

hth, no warranty.
