That's excellent news. I look forward to using kvim (when I finally get a

What is the slickest way of insert the filename into the document??

The :r! echo % works but is a bit wordy.  It could be mapped of course,
but I was wondering if there is an even easier way.

Thx

I believe that would be in insert mode, that you do:
<c-r>=%

      I think you misunderstand what the [brackets] are doing.  In
particular, there is no special meaning for \(\) inside the brackets:
these are just four characters.  Re-read :help /[] (and search for "NOTE").

      In vim 6.0, there is a way to do what you want with a regular
expression.  In vim 5.7 (or earlier) the only way is to do something
horrendous like

/ ^$ \| ^[^a] \| ^a$ \| ^a[^p] \| ^ap$ \| ^ap[^a] ...

(The spaces are there for ease of reading; do not really use them in a
search pattern.)

      Who says we have to solve this problem using just regular expressions?

:let found_it = 0
:.,$v/^apacs29_sink/if !found_it|let next=line('.')|let found_it=1|endif
:if found_it | execute next | endif

This would be very slow on a large file, but it should work.  If you are
doing this by hand, not from a function or mapping, you might consider
yanking the desired expression, then

:set hls " if it is not already set
/^<C-R>".*

and then looking for the first line that is not highlighted.

HTH 			 --Benji Fisher

I'm having trouble "groking" the concepts and interactions of layered
regions and matches and all that..

Is there a way to see interactively where vim is stepping into and out of
these things besides the edit and try approach?

Well, it makes me feel a little better that I wasn't overlooking

It would have been nicer if one could write something like:

:.,$v/^apacs29_sink/break

My main point is that there is no :break (or similary named function)
that would cause breaking :g and :v. I hope I missed it in docs but I
don't think this is the case -- if so this is my suggestion :)).

That would probably only be included in the development releases (for
now, of course :-),

But then again, there is already

         :call search('^apacs29_sink', 0)

[For those who don't know UAE: That's a simulater to run Amiga programs on a
Unix system]

I tried it some time back, but it didn't work well for me.  Perhaps I should
give it another try...  I wonder if UAE on a 800 MHz Duron will compile Vim
faster than my 25 MHz 68030 machine?

4-8-16-32 colors.  It's a pity there isn't a standard.  I'm afraid I don't
have the time to dive into this.  If you know a good way to add the 32 color
icons while still keeping it working for people like me that only have 4
colors, send me a patch please.

      Yes, and (according to http://www.vim.org/docnew/version6.txt, look
for new-searchpat) vim 6.0 will also allow (if I have the syntax right)

/^\(apacs29_sink\)\@!

With vim 5.7, there is always the option of an explicit loop:

let curline = line(".") - 1
while curline < line("$")
   let curline = curline + 1
   if getline(curline) !~ '^apacs29_sink'
     echo "found it!"
     execute curline
     break
   endif
endwhile

(untested).

      Then again, one can always try cleverness:

.,$v/^apacs29_sink/call input('Enter <C-C>')

looks like you're using windows.
when you say 'package', all you really want is
grep.exe, right? cause if that's the case,
check out cygwin. This could be an overkill for
you to install completely, as it is a 200M
distro of utils ported from unix to windows.
i think you can have an option to only install
grep if you so wish + their .dll
(sourceware.cygnus.com)

another option, which is probably more
applicable in your case, is to get a
port of grep from somewhere on the web. one
such place is
http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/grep.html

this grep even does recursive searches.

hth,

denis

Oops, excuse me for not being clear enough.  I am using Cygwin, and have
grep.exe.  No problem there.  What I am looking for is a vim script that
makes use of grep to show the grepped string in another window, and allow
the easy movement to the appropriate line and file.

There are several scripts on the net that claim to do this, but I have not
been able to make any of them work, so what I am looking for is
directions/help on how to make them work.

Thanks for the help,

Dave

Is :cw what your looking for? (I think that is VIM 6.x though).

Close, and it sure put me on the right direction.  It just so happens I am
using VIM 6.x, and after reading your message I typed ':help grep', which
told me all I need to know.  Thank you for the tip!

"Name"
	 and then submits the form to the servlet  "InsertAlertTypeServlet".

Hi,

I use word completion extensively but I am
unable to go back using a single keystroke
if I don't want the word completed by vim.

e.g.

I type

comple^p  =>  completed^p  =>  completion

If I don't want both these completions,
but I want to type "complement" then I am forced
to type multiple backspaces till I go to comple.

I would like to go to whatever I typed using
single keystroke (say M-BS)

I tried writing some keymappings, going to
ESC mode in between but couldn't figure out.

Any help?

Thanks.

      This is on the todo list.

:help todo
/^Insert

Note that you can use <C-N> as many times as you typed <C-P>, instead of
<BS> for as many characters as have been added.

<plug>
You might consider my word-completion script.  This automatically invokes
<C-P> after every second character that you type.  The advantage is that
it selects the completion in Select mode, so that you can keep on typing
if it guessed wrong.  I do not actually use this myself, but I believe
some people like it.

I have a multiple monitor setup and the settings (font size, rows, cols)
that will make gvim full screen on one monitor are not the same for the
other.  Is there any way of starting gvim and making it maximize
automatically?

Thanks

I'm using gvim 5.7 in Win2K and I accomplish this setting lines and columns
to very high values like say 999 (dunno other platforms.)

I do not know about multiple monitors, but on Win32, the recommended
way is to add a line like this to your vimrc file:

:autocmd GUIEnter * simalt ~x

:help GUIEnter
:help simalt

      I am not sure what you want.  Can you ask a more specific question?

I'd like to change vim's paste behavior, namely the paste to the
"left". By default the cursor is placed left to the pasted text, I'd
expect it on the right (just where it was before).

If this is FAQ, just point me to further reading...

      When you say 'paste to the "left",' I assume you mean P instead of
p.  If "where it was before" means "on the same character" then try using
gP instead of P.  If you want, you can do

:nmap P gP
:help gP

      If "where it was before" means "in the same cursor column" then try
this:

:nmap p p`[h
:nmap P P`[

:help `[  (or :help marks in general)

Note that vim does not get into an infinite recursion.  Read the exception
in

:help recursive_mapping

I didn't know the gP command.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you very much. I'm a Vim newbie; I didn't even know there was
help for "composed" commands like "gP".

I recently bought a laptop running Windows 2000 Professional on which I
have loaded the command line version of vim 5.7.

I have two problems which stump me.
1) the cursor disappears in insert mode; no-cursor typing is weird.
2) The machine has a touch pad mouse; the heel of my hand tends to brush
the touch pad and move the (visible or invisible) cursor. What can I do
to reduce the sensitivity of vim to touchpad action? (I think that
learning to type is not an option. I tend to use two fingers with
capitals formed with a left hand case selector and a right hand letter
selector.)
