Thanks for using vim online.

When a discussion started about learning vim on the vim list Juergen Salk
mentioned the "*" key as something that he wished he had know earlier. When
I read the mail I had to go help on what the heck the "*" did. I also wish
I had known earlier...
Using the "*" key while in normal mode searches for the word under the cursor.
If that doesn't save you a lot of typing, I don't know what will.

It was often frustrating when I would open a file deep in the code tree and
then realize I wanted to open another file in that same directory. Douglas
Potts taught me a nice way to do this. Add the following snipit to your vimrc:
" Edit another file in the same directory as the current file " uses
expression to extract path from current file's path " (thanks Douglas Potts)
if has("unix")
map ,e :e <C-R>=expand("%:p:h") . "/" <CR>
else
map ,e :e <C-R>=expand("%:p:h") . "\" <CR>
endif
Then when you type ,e in normal mode you can use tab to complete to the
file. You can also expand this to allow for spitting, etc. Very very nice.

vim to quickly compile java files</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=3">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=3</A><BR>
For a number of years I used vim on an SGI box. When I left my job at SGI
I went to a company that developed on PCs. For 2 years I used IDEs. I was
unhappy. I was frustrated. I couldn't figure out why. (Beyond my machine
crashing twice a day.) Finally I upgraded to windows 2000 (kind of stable!) and
started using vim as an IDE. All was good. Here is how you use vim to compile
your java:
1. While I'm sure this works with javac, javac is slow slow slow. So download
the Jikes complier first. (Jikes is from ibm, search on google for jikes
and you will find it..available on most platforms.)
2. Add the following to your vimrc:
set makeprg=jikes -nowarn -Xstdout +E % set
errorformat=%f:%l:%c:%*\d:%*\d:%*\s%m
3. When you are editing a java file type :make and it will compile the
current file and jump you to the first error in the file (if any). Read
":help quickfix" for how to move between errors.
To setup your classpath environment either launch gvim from a shell that
has your classpath/path setup or use the "let" command to configure it in
your vimrc.

<html><center>Any word completion</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=4">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=4</A><BR>
Either when programming or writing, I tend to have some identifiers or words
that I use all the time. By sheer accident, I noticed the 'ctrl-n' command,
that will attempt to complete the word under the cursor. Hit it once, and it
will try to complete it with the first match in the current file. If there is
no match, it will (at least in the case of C code) search through all files
included from the current one. Repeated invocations will cycle through all
found matches.

To search for a word under the cursor in the current file you can use either
the "*" or "#" keys.
The "*" key will search for the word from the current cursor position to
the end of the file. The "#" key will search for the word from the current
cursor position to the top of the file.
Note that the above two keys will search for the whole word and not the
partial word. This is equivalent to using the <word> pattern in the
search commands (/ and ?).
To search for partial matches, you can use the "g*" and "g#" key sequence.
You can also use the mouse to search for a word. This will only work in
the GUI version of VIM (gvim) or a console version of VIM in an xterm which
accepts a mouse. Also, the 'mousemodel' should be set to 'extend'. Add the
following line to your .vimrc:
set mousemodel=extend
To search for a word under the cursor from the current cursor position to
the end of the file, press the shift key and click on the word using the
left mouse button. To search in the opposite direction, press the shift
key and click on the word using the the right mouse button.
To get more help on these, use
:help * :help # :help g* :help g# :help <S-LeftMouse> :help

To insert space characters whenever the tab key is pressed, set the

set expandtab
With this option set, if you want to enter a real tab character use
Ctrl-V<Tab> key sequence.
To control the number of space characters that will be inserted when the tab
key is pressed, set the 'tabstop' option. For example, to insert 4 spaces
for a tab, use:
set tabstop=4
After the 'expandtab' option is set, all the new tab characters entered will
be changed to spaces. This will not affect the existing tab characters.
To change all the existing tab characters to match the current tab settings,
use
:retab
To change the number of space characters inserted for indentation, use the
'shiftwidth' option:
set shiftwidth=4
For example, to get the following coding style,
- No tabs in the source file - All tab characters are 4 space
characters
use the following set of options:
set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 set expandtab

This way, if you want your backups to be neatly grouped, just create

Here are some pointers to the vim documentation. Notice that the

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=26">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=26</A><BR>
If you work in a mixed environment you will often open files that have ^M's
in them. An example would be this:
------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.util.Hashtable; ^M import java.util.Properties; ^Mimport
java.io.IOException; import org.xml.sax.AttributeList; ^M import
org.xml.sax.HandlerBase; ^Mimport org.xml.sax.SAXException;
/**^M
* XMLHandler: This class parses the elements contained^M * within a XML
message and builds a Hashtable^M
[snip] ------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice that some programs are not consistent in the way they insert the line
breaks so you end up with some lines that have both a carrage return and a
^M and some lines that have a ^M and no carrage return (and so blend into
one). There are two steps to clean this up.
1. replace all extraneous ^M:
:%s/^M$//g
BE SURE YOU MAKE the ^M USING "CTRL-V CTRL-M" NOT BY TYPING "CARROT M"! This
expression will replace all the ^M's that have carriage returns after them
with nothing. (The dollar ties the search to the end of a line)
2. replace all ^M's that need to have carriage returns:
:%s/^M//g
Once again: BE SURE YOU MAKE the ^M USING "CTRL-V CTRL-M" NOT BY TYPING
"CARROT M"! This expression will replace all the ^M's that didn't have
carriage returns after them with a carriage return.
Voila! Clean file. Map this to something if you do it frequently.

There are a variety of options, but these are what you most probably want:
:%s/foo/bar/g find each occurance of 'foo' and replace it with
'bar' without asking for confirmation
:%s/foo/bar/gc find each occurance of 'foo' and replace it with
'bar' asking for confirmation first
:%s/<foo>/bar/gc find (match exact word only) and replace each
occurance of 'foo' with 'bar'
:%s/foo/bar/gci find (case insensitive) and replace each occurance of
'foo' with 'bar'
:%s/foo/bar/gcI find (case sensitive) and replace each occurance of
'foo' with 'bar'
NB: Without the 'g' flag, replacement occurs only for the first occurrence

compare to C and shell(bash), herein is some vim specifics about vim-script:
1. A function name must be capitalized.
hex2dec is invalid Hex2dec is valid while in c and shell(bash), both
lowercase and uppercase is allowed.
2. how to reference the parameters
fu! Hex2dec(var1, var2)
let str=a:var1 let str2=a:var2
you must prefix the parameter name with "a:", and a:var1 itself is read-only
in c, you reference the parameter directly and the parameter is writable.
3. how to implement variable parameter
fu! Hex2dec(fixpara, ...)
a:0 is the real number of the variable parameter when you invoke the
function, with :Hex2dec("asdf", 4,5,6), a:0=3, and a:1=4 a:2=5 a:3=6
you can combine "a:" and the number to get the value while i<a:0
exe "let num=a:".i let i=i+1
endwhile in c, the function get the real number by checking the additional
parameter such as printf family, or by checking the special value such
as NULL
4. where is the vim-library
yes, vim has its own function-library, just like *.a in c :help functions
5. can I use += or ++ operator?
Nop, += and ++ (and -=, -- and so on)operator gone away in vim.
6. How can I assign a value to a variables and fetch its value?
let var_Name=value let var1=var2 like it does in c, except you must use
let keyword
7. Can I use any ex-mode command in a function?
As I know, yes, just use it directly, as if every line you type appears
in the familar :
8. Can I call a function recurse?
Yes, but use it carefully to avoid infinte call.
9. Can I call another function in a function?
Course, like C does.
10. Must I compile the function?
No, you needn't and you can't, just :so script_name, after this you can
call the function freely.
11. Is it has integer and char or float data type?
No, like perl, vim script justify the variable type depend upon the context
:let a=1 :let a=a."asdf" :echo a you'll get `1asdf' :let a=1 :let a=a+2
:echo a you'll get 3 But it differs from perl.
12. Must I append a `;' in every statement?
No, never do that. ; is required in C, and optional in shell for each
statement in a alone line. But is forbidden in vim. if you want combine
servals statement in one single line, use `|'. Take your mind that every
statement appears in function should be valid in ex-mode(except for some
special statement).

First of all, thanks Benji fisher, Stefan Roemer...
and others in vim@vim.org which spend much time to answer questions,
sometimes foolish question asked by someone like me. Without their I can't
get the final solution for my sqlplus work descripted follows.
As Oracle user known, sqlplus has a very bad
command-line edition environment. It has no command-history, don't support
most of getline facilities. which MySQL and shell does it well. Even Microsoft
recogonize this point. In Windows2000, doskey is installed by default.
Below is my vim-solution to sqlplus, which
record the command-history when you use edit(sqlplus builtin command) to
open the editor specified by EDITOR environment variable. It saves the SQL
statement into a standalone file such as .sqlplus.history
Every time you open the file
afiedt.buf(sqlplus's default command-buffer file), you get two splited windows,
the buffer above is afiedt.buf, the buffer below is .sqlplus.history, you
can see every SQL statement in the windows. If you want to use SQL statement
in line 5 to replace
the current command-buffer, just press 5K, then
:xa to back to you sqlplus. and use / to repeat the command
saved in command-buffer file called afiedt.buf by default.
It can't process multi-line SQL statement convinencely.
Todo this, just use you favorite vim trick to do that:
fu! VimSQL()
nnoremap <C-K> :<C-U>
exe "let linenum=".v:count<CR>:1,$-1d<CR><C-W>j:exe
lin enum."y"<CR><C-W>kP
let linenum=line("$") 1,$-1w! >> ~/.sqlplus.history e
~/.sqlplus.history execute ":$-".(linenum-1).",$m0" %!uniq if
line("$")>100
101,$d

Hi All, Wish u could view a Java Class File using Vim, Well ur query

Class File. I would suggest the JAD decompiler by Pavel Kouznetsov <A
HREF="http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bridge/8617/jad.html">http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bridge/8617/jad.html</A><BR>
Its a command line decompiler and absolutely free. U can use any command
line decompiler of ur choice.
Next create a vimscript file called jad.vim as #########################
FILE START ################ augr class au! au bufreadpost,filereadpost
*.class %!d:jad.exe -noctor -ff -i -p % au bufreadpost,filereadpost
*.class set readonly au bufreadpost,filereadpost *.class set ft=java au
bufreadpost,filereadpost *.class normal gg=G au bufreadpost,filereadpost
*.class set nomodified augr END ######################## FILE END
#####################
Note:- Keep the Jad.exe in a directory with out white spaces. The -p options
directs JAD to send the output to standard output instead of a .jad file. Other
options are described on the JAD site.
Next add the following line in the .vimrc file. so jad.vim
Next time u do vim abc.class. Viola u have the source code for abc.class.
NOTE:- I have written the script so as to open the class file read only,
So that u dont accidently modify it. U can also exted this script to unjar
a jar file and then view each file in the JAR file. thanks bhaskar Any

One of the keys to vim is buffer management. If I have to use another IDE
that makes me click on a tab every time I want to look at another file I'm
going to go postal.
So of course you know about :ls which lists all the current open buffers. This
gets a little unweildly once you have a full project open so you can also use
:b <any snipit of text> <tab> to complete to an open buffer. This
is really nice because you can type any fragment of a file name and it will
complete to the matching file. (i.e. RequestManager.java can be completed
using "tma"<tab> or "req"<tab> or "r.java"<tab>).
Now for awhile I was also using :bn and :bp which jumps you to the next
and previous buffer respectively. I found I was often frustrated because I
wanted :bp to be the previous buffer I was in, not the previous buffer in
the list. So (drum roll) the reason I wrote this tip was because of:
:b#
jump to the previous buffer you were in. Very very handy. The only thing
nicer are tag, but that's a tip for another time.
:help buffers :help bn :help bp

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=58">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=58</A><BR>
If you take the time to lay out several windows with vim (especially vertically
in version 6), you may be bummed when you hit an errant key and find that
all but what one window disappears.
What happens: while navigating between windows, you hit <C-W>j,
<C-W>k, etc. At some point you accidently hit <C-W> but then
don't follow with a window command. Now hitting 'o' to start insert mode
issues a command equivalent to :only, and closes all windows execept for
the one you are in (unless some windows have unsaved changes in them).
How to avoid this: petition the vim-dev mailing list about how :only is
sufficient for the infrequenty use this might get (j/k).
Really: use mapping to disable the <C-W>o functionality; put this in
your .vimrc:
nnoremap <C-W>O :echo "sucker"<CR> nnoremap <C-W>o :echo
"sucker"<CR> nnoremap <C-W><C-O> :echo "sucker"<CR>

With the addition of folding, Vim6 can function as a high performance outline
processor. Simply :set ai and in insert mode use backspace to promote and
tab to demote headlines.
In command mode, << promotes (n<< to promote multiple lines),
and >> demotes. Also, highlight several headlines and < or >
to promote or demote.
:set foldmethod=indent, and then your z commands can expand or collapse
headline trees, filewide or by the tree.
The VimOutliner GPL distro contains the scripts and configs to easily
configure Vim6 as an outliner, including scripts to create tag files enabling
interoutline hyperlinking.

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=76">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=76</A><BR>
The Quickfix mode aims to "speed up the edit-compile-edit cycle" according to
':help quickfix'. After executing ':make' or ':grep' it is possible to skim
through the list of errors/matches and the appropriate source code locations
with, for instance, the ':cnext' command. Another way to get a quick overview
is to use VIMs folding mode, to fold away all the error-free/match-free
regions. The script at the end of this message can be used for this
purpose. It is at the moment not elaborate enough to put it up as a 'script';
but it might give someone inspiration to do so. Big restrictions / bugs are
as follows: 1. Vim Perl interface is required, i.e. the output of ':version'
must contain '+perl' (People with Vim scripting knowledge might fix this)
2. Works only for one file, i.e. the current buffer. 3. It's a quick hack.
Sample usage: (a) edit a file, (b) do ':grep regexp %' to get a quickfix
error list and (c) ':source foldqf.vim' will fold as described Increasing
the value of $CONTEXT gives you more context around the error regions.
Here comes it, it should be 7 lines: ---foldqf.vim cwindow perl $CONTEXT = 0;
perl @A = map { m/\|(\d+)\|/; $1 +0 } $curbuf->Get(1..$curbuf->Count());
close normal zD perl sub fold { VIM::DoCommand( $_[0] . ',' . ($_[1]) . "fold"
) if( $_[0] < $_[1] ); } perl $last = 0; for (@A) { fold( $last+1+$CONTEXT,
$_-1-$CONTEXT ); $last = $_; }; VIM::DoCommand(($A[-1]+1+$CONTEXT )
. ',$fold' );

folded up to the last occurence of the pattern or the top of the file.
One use for such a function is to be able to make a quick and dirty api of

using the pattern "public|protected|private" and ithe results would be that
only the method headers would be visible (well, close enough).

Here's something for your <.vimrc> which will allow you to restore

If you're on Unix, the viminfo is probably fine as is (but check up on Vim's
help for viminfo to see if you like the settings above). For Windows you'll
need to change the "n" suboption to something like
Ex. set viminfo='10,\"100,:20,%,nc:\\some\\place\\under\\Windoz\\_viminfo

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=81">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=81</A><BR>
Substitute Characters ----------------------------------- I was just editing
a file that contained the same leading string on many lines.
example:
foo_bar_baz1=a foo_bar_baz1=abc674 foo_bar_baz1=qrs foo_bar_baz1=m1
foo_bar_baz1=bz90 foo_bar_baz1=bc ...
Needing to only substitute a portion of the string, I referred to a VIM
reference card and discovered a command answering my need exactly. The s
command is used to subsitute a certain number of characters. In my example
file above, if I only needed to subsititute the characters foo_bar, I set
the cursor on the first character where I'd like the subsitution to begin
and type 7s. VIM drops the characters foo_bar and goes to insert mode,
waiting for the substitution text.
Substitute Lines ----------------------- After years of using vi and VIM and
always deleting multiple lines in order to replace them, I just discovered
the S command. If you need to subsitute three lines of text, simply type
3S. VIM drops the three lines and goes into insert mode, waiting for the
subsitution text.

this is a simple function i wrote to get the value of a variable from three

this allows me to set a default value for a configuration variable inside my

with a g: prepended. then, they can further set it on a per-buffer level by
the the b: mechanism. one of the examples for this might be my comments script
(not uploaded). i have a variable in there that determines whether comment
characters (// for java, for example) are placed the beginning of the line or
just before the first-non-blanks in the text. i set up a default in my script:
let s:comments_hug_start_of_line=0 " comments should hug the text
that's fine as a default, but if i want to overwrite it for vim scripts,
i just put the following in my ftplugin/vim.vim:
let b:comments_hug_start_of_line=1 " vim comments should hug the first
column, always
" tries to return the buffer-specific value of a variable; if not
" found, tries to return the global value -- if that's not found "
either, returns the value set in the script itself function! GetVar(varName)

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=83">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=83</A><BR>
Here is the most useful vim command that I know of and I'm surprised that
it's not yet in the tips list.
I use the indent features of vim all the time. Basically, it lets you indent
your source code.
SETUP: To make indentation work nicely I have the following in my .vimrc file:
set et set sw=4 set smarttab
these make vim behave nicely when indenting, giving 4 spaces (not tabs)
for each "tabstop".
HOW TO USE: in command mode, == will indent the current line selecting a range
of lines (with shift-v) then == will indent your selection typing a number
then == will indent that many lines, starting from your cursor (you get the
idea, there are many other things you can do to select a range of lines)
Tell me that isn't great?

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=84">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=84</A><BR>
one of the things i do a lot in vim is to make a change to the beginning or
end of the line (such as adding the text '// remove' at the end of java
debug code). a quick way of doing this is to use a to append the text to
the end of the first line and then move down one, hit . (repeat last edit),
move down, hit . etc. etc. the following mapping allows one to simply
highlight the region in question and hit . -- it will automatically
execute the . once on each line:
" allow the . to execute once for each line of a visual selection vnoremap
. :normal .<CR>
another thing i do a lot is to record a quick macro in the "a" register
and then play it back a number of times. while @@ can be used to repeat the
last register used, my recorded macros sometimes use other registers so @@
doesn't necessarily give me the same results as @a. also, i have mapped '
to ` because i like to go to the precise location of my marks -- always --
and never to the beginning of the line. this leaves my ` key unused. so:
" make ` execute the contents of the a register nnoremap ` @a
then, in keeping with the visual . above, i did the same for the ` -- is
thexecutes @a once on each highlighed line.
vnoremap ` :normal @a<CR>
as an example, say i have the following lines of java code:
public String m_asdf; public String m_lkhj; public int m_hjkhjkh;
and, for some reason, i need to get the following:
"asdf" "lkhj" "hjkhjkh"
i record the following into a:
^cf_"<ESC>$r"
the ^ is because my java code is indented and i don't want to go to
column 0 and the <esc> is an actual escape i hit to exit insert mode.
then, i simply select (visually) the other lines (only two in case --
admittedly not an overly useful example) and just hit `.

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=91">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=91</A><BR>
This tip will will explain how to use the dictionary completion facilities
provided by vim. This can be useful if you use vim to type your email,
edit code, etc.
Dictionary completion is one of many search facilites provided by Insert mode
completion. It allows the user to get a list of keywords, based off of the
current word at the cursor. This is useful if you are typing a long word
(e.g. acknowledgeable) and don't want to finish typing or don't remember
the spelling.
To start, we must first tell vim where our dictionary is located. This is done
via the 'dictionary' option. Below is an example. Your location may vary.
See :help 'dictionary' for hints as to where you should look.
:set dictionary-=/usr/share/dict/words
dictionary+=/usr/share/dict/words
Now, to use this list we have to enter insert mode completion. This is done
by hitting CTRL-X while in insert mode. Next, you have to specify what you
want to complete. For dictionaries use CTRL-K. Once in this mode the keys
CTRL-N and CTRL-P will cycle through the matches. So, to complete the word
"acknowledgeable" I would do the following in insert mode:
acknow<CTRL-X><CTRL-K><CTRL-N>
It can be cumbersome to type CTRL-X CTRL-K for many different completions.
So, vim gives us a shortcut. While in insert mode CTRL-N and CTRL-P
will cycle through a predetermined set of completion sources. By default,
dictionary completion is not a part of this set. This set is defined by the
'complete' option. Therefore, we must add dictionary to this as shown below:
:set complete-=k complete+=k
Now, while in insert mode we can type the following to complete our example:
acknow<CTRL-N><CTRL-N>
This shortcut may not save a whole lot of typing. However, I find that it
requires less hand movement to only worry myself with two key combinations,
rather than 4.
I find that the completion facilites provided by vim save me a *HUGE* amount
of typing. These savings can be realized in only a short amount of time if
you are editing some code with functions and variables that have long names
with underscores in them.

As everyone knows, the $VIMRUNTIME/doc is increasing rapidly in size. The
directory contained so many plain-text documents that I often compress
them to save my diskspace. With the support of VIM's GZIP plugin,
VIM will automatically uncompress the files when we need to read them.
Here is my procedure: 1. If you have the source, go to 'runtime/doc'
and edit 'doctags.c', change printf("%s\t%s\t/*", p1, argv[0]); to
printf("%s\t%s.gz\t/*", p1, argv[0]);
then make. This is to modify the tag, or you'll have to change the
'tags' file by hand if you don't have doctags.c.
2. Edit the new generated 'tags' file to rename 'help.txt.gz' back to
'help.txt' because it's hard-written in VIM executable binary.
:% s/help\.txt\.gz/help\.txt/g
3. Copy the new 'tags' to $VIMRNUTIME/doc and run 'gzip *.txt; gunzip help.txt'
On VIM 6.0an, we can reduce the original size (3302k) to 1326k. I don't
know if this helps, but if someone likes to compress documents... this can
be reffered :)

Using tags file with Vim ------------------------ This document gives you
a idea about the various facilities available in Vim for using a tags file
to browse through program source files. You can read the Vim online help,
which explains in detail the tags support, using :help tagsearch.txt. You can
also use the help keywords mentioned in this document to read more about a
particular command or option. To read more about a particular command or
option use, :help <helpkeyword> in Vim.
1. How do I create a tags file?
You can create a tags file either using the ctags utility or using a
custom script or utility.
Help keyword(s): tag
2. Where can I download the tools to generate the tags file?
There are several utilities available to generate the tags file.
Depending on the programming language, you can use any one of them.
1. Exuberant ctags generates tags for the following programming
language files:
Assembler, AWK, ASP, BETA, Bourne/Korn/Zsh Shell, C, C++, COBOL,
Eiffel, Fortran, Java, Lisp, Make, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, REXX,
Ruby, S-Lang, Scheme, Tcl, and Vim.
You can download exuberant ctags from <A
HREF="http://ctags.sourceforge.net/">http://ctags.sourceforge.net/</A><BR>
2. On Unix, you can use the /usr/bin/ctags utility. This utility

in the status bar. You can use the arrow keys to move between
the tags and then use the <Enter> key to select a tag.
3. If you don't have the 'wildmenu' option set, you can still
use the <Tab> key to browse through the list of matching
tags.
Help keyword(s): tag-regexp, wildmenu
18. What options are available to control how Vim handles the tags
file?
You can use the following options to control the handling of tags file
by Vim:
1. 'tagrelative' - Controls how the file names in the tags file
are treated. When on, the filenames are relative to
the directory where the tags file is present.
2. 'taglength' - Controls the number of significant characters
used for recognizing a tag.
3. 'tagbsearch' - Controls the method used to search the tags file
for a tag. If this option is on, binary search is
used to search the tags file. Otherwise, linear search
is used.
4. 'tagstack' - Controls how the tag stack is used.
Help keyword(s): 'tagrelative', 'taglength', 'tagbsearch',
'tagstack'
19. Is it possible to highlight all the tags in the current file?

21. Is there a workaround to make the Ctrl-] key not to be treated as
the telnet escape character?
The default escape characters for telnet in Unix systems is Ctrl-].
While using Vim in a telnet session, if you use Ctrl-] to jump to a tag,
you will get the telnet prompt. There are two ways to avoid this problem:
1. Map the telnet escape character to some other character using
the "-e <escape character>" telnet command line option
2. Disable the telnet escape character using the "-E" telnet
command line option.

This is a *request* for a tip. I need to be able to pipe the output of a

I would just love to be able to do :hi --> textBuffer and examine the output

Same thing for :set all, and other things. Considering that cut and paste

You can - like me :o) - use gvim, like replacement of internal AutoCad
MTEXT editor. You need switch variable MTEXTED to "gvim" (or maybe fullpath,
something like "c:\vim\vim60aq\gvim" ), and to your _vimrc you can put line:
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.tmp source c:\vim\aacad.vim
And when you edit MTEXT in acad, menu AutoCad will be for your use in gvim
(only in INSERT and VISUAL mode)
[NOTE: Only I can't start gvim like gvim -y (for any other person, not so
accustomed vith gvim) or start gvim from gvim.lnk or gvim.bat (I'am using
windows95) and automatic skip to INSERT mode -latest word star, on end of

There have been a few "requests for tips" entered into the tips database
lately. If you have specific questions that aren't answered by the existing
tips, there are a couple of resources that may be more appropriate:
The mailing list vim@vim.org is for vim users. If you send an email
to vim-help@vim.org, you'll get a message back telling you how
to subscribe, as well as how to request old messages and contact
the list maintainer. This mailing list is also archived at <A
HREF="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vim.">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vim.</A><BR>
The newsgroup comp.editors discusses many different editors, but most of
the traffic is about vim. When posting, it is appreciated if you include
"vim" in the subject line. The comp.editors newsgroup is archived at <A

Using the tips database for asking questions is not likely to work well.
For example, if you ask a question titled "Searching for strings in a file"
and I read this site and see that tip, I'm not going to read it if I already
know how to search for strings in a file. In comp.editors and vim@vim.org,
people expect to find questions from others and are therefore more likely
to see your questions.
After finding the answer to your question, please consider whether it would
make an appropriate tip, and if so, add it to the tips database.

I'm used to complete words with <tab>, however when editing source
I can't just map that to vim keyword completion because I sometime need to
insert real tabs, since it mostly happen when at the beginning of the line or
after a ; and before a one line comma (java, c++ or perl anyone...) I've come
to find the following really usefull This is how you can map the <tab>
key in insert mode while still being able to use it when at the start of
a line or when the preceding char is not a keyword character. in a script
file in a plugin directory or in your .vimrc file: first define a function
which returns a <tab> or a <C-N> depending on the context:
function InsertTabWrapper()
let col = col('.') - 1 if !col || getline('.')[col - 1] !~ '\k'
return "\<tab>"
else
return "\<c-p>"
endif
endfunction
then define the appropriate mapping: inoremap <tab>
<c-r>=InsertTabWrapper()<cr>
the trick here is the use of the <c-r>= in insert mode to be able to
call your function without leaving insert mode. :help i_CTRL-R Benoit

This runs the query and pipes the output to the standard input of vim. Here

<html><center>combining move and scroll</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=105">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=105</A><BR>
I sometimes found myself moving down a few lines with j, then scrolling
down about the same number of lines with <C-E> to put the cursor in
roughly the same place as it started. I decided I wanted to map <C-J>
(and <C-K>, respectively) to the move-and-scroll operation. First, I did
:map <C-J> <C-E>j
This was pretty good, but behaved funny at the beginning and end of files.
Then, I realized that <C-D> already combined move and scroll, so I
figured that giving <C-D> a count of 1 would do it:
:map <C-J> 1<C-D>
Unfortunately, this permanently attaches a count to <C-D> (ugh!),
so I have to undo that:
:map <C-J> 1<C-D>:set scroll=0<CR>
This has the drawback of not necessarily resetting scroll to its original
value, but since I never change scroll, it's good enough for me. It would be
nice if there were a version of <C-D> that did not have the side-affect
of changing scroll.
Happy vimming, Andrew

Hallo, next solution for _most_simple_ signature rotater: You can
only put one line to your .vimrc || _vimrc: map <Leader>ms :e
c:\sign.txt<CR>ggV/--<CR>k"*xG$a<C-R><C-O>*<Esc>:w<CR>:bd<CR>G$a<C-M><Esc>"*P
Must exist file (from eg above) c:\sign.txt, with content: -- first signature
-- second signature -- third signature --
When You finished mail, only call shortcut \ms and 'first signature' will
be insert in your mail. In c:\sign.txt will be first signature pushed
to the end of this file. When You want use other signature, only press
'u' and \ms again (Or You can change \ms to e.g. <F12>, indeed. )
You can change this and append one part like 'basic' from command and
append 'changing' part from .signature file, as you like... Ok, one
unpleasant thing is here: your signature must not contain '--' (signature
separator)... Anyhow, I find it useful brz* <brz@centrum.cz> <A

<html><center>convert enum to string table</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=107">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=107</A><BR>
When testing your own C/C++ programs you sometimes wish to have a trace output,
which shows you, which enum value is used. You can do this by creating
a string table for that enum type, which contains the enum identifyer as
a string. e.g. printf ("%s", MyEnumStringTable [ MyEnumVal] );
You can create the complete string table by - marking the lines containing
the complete typedef enum - select menu C/C++.transform enum2Stringtab
You can create string table entries by - marking the lines within the typedef
enum - select menu C/C++.transform enum2String
This makes it easy to keep the enum (on changes) consistent to the string
table.
Add the following lines to your _GVIMRC file: 31amenu C/C++.transform\
enum2Stringtab :s#[ ]*\\(\\w\\+\\)#/* \\1 */
"\\1"#<CR>o};<ESC>uOstatic const char* const Names[] =
{<ESC><CR>/sdfsdf<CR> 31vmenu C/C++.transform\ enum2Stringtab
:s#[ ]*\\(\\w\\+\\)#/* \\1 */ "\\1"#<CR>o};<ESC>uOstatic
const char* const Names[] = {<ESC><CR>/sdfsdf<CR>
31amenu C/C++.transform\ enum2String :s#[ ]*\\(\\w\\+\\)#/*
\\1 */ "\\1"#<CR>o}<ESC>/sdfsdf<CR> 31vmenu
C/C++.transform\ enum2String :s#[ ]*\\(\\w\\+\\)#/* \\1 */
"\\1"#<CR>o}<ESC>/sdfsdf<CR>
hint: '/sdfsdf' is added for deactivating search highlighting, ok, you'll
sure find a better way to do this.

Below are two functions and a mapping which will convert lines of plain
text into HTML table code. For example, you have several lines like:
----------------------------------------------- 1 2 3
4 5 6 --------------------------------------------------- by visualizing
all the 7 lines and press <F5>, you can change the text into
<table><tr>
<td>1</td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>4</td> <td>5</td> <td>6</td>
</tr></table> which will eventually render into a table. So the
rule is: Every line is a table item, every empty line means starting of a
new table row.

I have found it undesirable to use :hardcopy directly because it uses the
current syntax highlighting to determine how to print the text. For example,
I like to print comments in italics, but I don't like italic fonts on the
screen. This tip will show you how to set up a colorscheme for printing and
use it only when you print.
I copied an existing colorscheme to ~/.vim/colors/print.vim, and changed
all the lines like this:
highlight Normal ctermbg=DarkGrey ctermfg=White guifg=White guibg=grey20
to this:
highlight clear Normal
Then I set the syntax groups how I wanted them to be printed on the printer:
highlight Comment term=italic cterm=italic gui=italic highlight
Constant term=bold cterm=bold gui=bold etc....
I then defined the following command in my .vimrc file:
command! -nargs=* Hardcopy call DoMyPrint("<args>")
And, finally, I defined this function in my .vimrc:
function DoMyPrint(args)
let colorsave=g:colors_name color print exec "hardcopy ".a:args exec
'color '.colorsave
endfunction
After this is complete, you can do:
:Hardcopy > /tmp/out.ps
or just
:Hardcopy

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=112">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=112</A><BR>
Paul Wright posted a tip which explained how to jump back and forth between
lines with the same indentation level. I do this a lot, so I came up with
this slightly more comprehensive solution.
The example mappings below work as follows:
[l and ]l jump to the previous or the next line with the same indentation
level as the one you're currently on.
[L and ]L jump to the previous or the next line with an indentation level
lower than the line you're currently on.
These movements also work in visual mode and (only as of one of the 6.0 alpha
versions) in operator pending mode, meaning that you can do a d]l. The motion
is specified as being exclusive when in operator pending mode.
When might you use this? If you're writing programs in Python, Haskell,
or editing XML files, they will be very useful. E.g. in XML you can jump to
the outer enclosing tag, or the next matching tag. I use it for practically
anything I edit, so it's not limited to this.
" " NextIndent() " " Jump to the next or previous line that has the same level
or a lower " level of indentation than the current line. " " exclusive (bool):
true: Motion is exclusive " false: Motion is inclusive "
fwd (bool): true: Go to next line " false: Go to
previous line " lowerlevel (bool): true: Go to line with lower indentation
level " false: Go to line with the same indentation level
" skipblanks (bool): true: Skip blank lines " false:
Don't skip blank lines
function! NextIndent(exclusive, fwd, lowerlevel, skipblanks)
let line = line('.') let column = col('.') let lastline = line('$')
let indent = indent(line) let stepvalue = a:fwd ? 1 : -1

let line = line + stepvalue if ( ! a:lowerlevel &&

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=117">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=117</A><BR>
Searching for a word across the project wastes most of the
developres time, which can be avoided by the use of GNU Id_utils
with VIM. The procedure needs to be followed is as follows:
download GNU idutils 3.2d (mkid,lid,fid,fnid,xtokid) from <A
HREF="http://www.mossbayeng.com/~ron/vim/builds.html">http://www.mossbayeng.com/~ron/vim/builds.html</A><BR>
uncompress and store these files in the directory from where vim is running.
goto the top level directory of the project, and run mkid, it will create ID
file in that directory (As it is time consuming process, so be patient). copy
this file ID to the directory from where vim is running.
USAGE:
Put these lines in your .vimrc:
map _u :call ID_search()<Bar>execute "/\\<" . g:word
. "\\>"<CR> map _n :n<Bar>execute "/\\<" . g:word
. "\\>"<CR>
function ID_search()
let g:word = expand("<cword>") let x = system("lid --key=none
". g:word) let x = substitute(x, "\n", " ", "g") execute "next " . x
endfun
To use it, place the cursor on a word, type "_u" and vim will load the file
that contains the word. Search for the next ocurance of the word in the
same file with "n". Go to the next file with "_n".
The mapping of "_u" and "_n" can be done to some other key as per your
preference but I use ^K and ^L for this purpose.

gVim as Internet Explorer 'View Source' editor</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=118">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=118</A><BR>
Within the registry, you can specify the source editor to be used by Internet
Explorer when {View|Source} is selected. Unfortunately, you can't specify a
quoted filename argument here, i.e. "%1". The editor specified is supposed
to handle filenames which contain spaces. This will cause problems for
Vim because Vim treats each space as an argument separator. If an unquoted
filename contains spaces, Vim treats the filename as multiple arguments and
will open multiple files instead of one. To workaround this problem a quoted
filename has to be passed to Vim. This can be done by creating the following
Visual Basic Script file gVim.vbs:
'--- gVim.vbs -----------------------------------------------------------------
'function: Start gvim, combining multiple arguments to single file argument.
'changes: 20010905: Quoted 'oWShell.Run' filename argument, allowing spaces.

dim oWShell, sArg, sFile
' Create script object
set oWShell = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
' Loop through arguments

next
' Remove excess space

"""D:\Programs\Vim\Vim58\gvim.exe """ & _ "-R """ & sFile & """ " & _
"-c ""set syntax=html"""
' Destroy script object
set oWShell = NOTHING
The source editor now can be specified by adding the following key to the
registry:

|- Internet Explorer
|- View Source Editor
|- Editor Name (Default) = D:\Programs\Vim\gvim.vbs

I really like the new explorer window, but I wanted it to function a little
more seemlessly in the editor. The following code does two things. First,
the explorer is started when vim is started. I also noticed and fixed
that the explorers size is not equal to the window size, hence the strange
behavior when popping between two windows. The other major function of
the code is to close the explorer when it's the only window that's left.
I'd actually like to take this a step further and close the window if the
last _document_ window is closed. I'd prefer that multiple explorers or help
windows don't keep the application running - only having a file open keeps the
application running. But I didn't see an easy way to do this... anyone else?
BTW, thank you Bram for the help figuring this out.

If you want to use Vim's syntax highlighting in a "more"-style pager, here's
one way to set it up:
First, create a vimrc like the following -- I called mine ~/.vimrc.more
---8<---cut here---8<--- " No compatibility -- necessary for mappings
to work. set nocompatible
" Status line set laststatus=0 set cmdheight=1 set nomodifiable "
Only in version 6.0 set readonly
" Syntax colouring -- lines taken from syntax.txt discussion on colour xterms.
" See ':help color-xterm'. Use appropriate lines for your own set-up.
if has("terminfo")
set t_Co=16 set t_Sf=[3%p1%dm set t_Sb=[4%p1%dm
else
set t_Co=16 set t_Sf=[3%dm set t_Sb=[4%dm
endif " My xterms have a navy-blue background, so I need this line too.
set background=dark " Turn syntax on syntax on
" Key bindings. nmap b <C-B><C-G> nmap q :q<CR> " To
type the following line, type *two* C-V's followed by two spaces. This "
is how you map the spacebar. nmap ^V <C-F><C-G> ---8<---cut
here---8<---
Then, to use this .vimrc, add an alias. If you're using tcsh, the syntax
will be something like:
alias vmore "vim -u ~/.vimrc.more"
Then you can type "vmore [filename]" to view a file in this "pager". Spacebar
will move down, 'b' will move back up, and 'q' quits. You can add mappings
for other keys if you want to, also.

I love the text folding capabilities of vim. I didn't like that it would
display the first line of the range as the "title" for the fold. I like
to write my comments with the "/*" on a line by itself. So I wrote this
little function that will skip over anything that isn't a character, and
then display whatever it finds after that character.
Just include this in your ~/.vimrc (or ~/.gvimrc):
function GetFirstLineWithChars()
let line_num = 0 let charline = matchstr(getline(v:foldstart),
'[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z ]*') while strlen(charline) == 0
let line_num = line_num + 1 let charline =
matchstr(getline(v:foldstart + line_num), '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z ]*')
endw return charline
endfunction set
foldtext='+'.v:folddashes.substitute(GetFirstLineWithChars(),'\\\/\\\/\\\|\\*\\\|\\*\\\|{{{\\d\\=','','g')
set fillchars=fold: hi folded guibg=black guifg=yellow gui=bold
And as an added bonus, for those new to text folding, add this to your .vimrc
file too:
autocmd BufWinLeave *.* mkview autocmd BufWinEnter *.* silent loadview
That way whatever folds you set won't get lost when you quit. I had that
happen after spending 15 minutes folding up a 3000+ line file. Happy vimming!

I always wanted a script that would auto-comment the end of a conditional
block. So, I wrote one. This function searches for the previous matching
"{", grabs the line, and inserts it as a comment after the "}". If there
is no previous matching "{", it inserts nothing.
So...
if (test){
will generate:
} // if (test)
This is obviously not work if you use a different style. If you use
if (test) {
then substituting 'getline(".")', use 'getline(line(".") - 1)' should work.
Put the following in your .vimrc: au BufNewFile,BufRead *.c,*.cc,*.C,*.h
imap } <ESC>:call CurlyBracket()<CR>a

Having problems setting up your syntax highlighting because everything is
coming up in bold?
You're probably using an 8 color xterm and setting up highlighting lines such
as hi Normal ... ctermfg=green . The solution: use numbers! 0=black, 1=red,
2=green, 3=yellow, 4=blue, 5=magenta, 6=cyan, and 7=white. Vim tries to use
"bright" colors when its given names (because Windoz machines prefer to use

I've found while writing HTML files that it can become cumbersome when I have
to switch to a web browser, load my page, and move back to VIM regularly to
preview what I've written. I've come up with the following tricks.
The first one requires that you have lynx (the text-based browser) installed
on your computer (available from <A HREF="http://lynx.isc.org/release/).
If your HTML page is primarily text, with few (if any) images, you can
set up the following function and mapping:">http://lynx.isc.org/release/).
If your HTML page is primarily text, with few (if any) images, you can set
up the following function and mapping:</A><BR>
function PreviewHTML_TextOnly()
let l:fname = expand("%:p" ) new set buftype=nofile nonumber exe "%!lynx
" . l:fname . " -dump -nolist -underscore -width " . winwidth( 0 )
endfunction
map <Leader>pt :call PreviewHTML_TextOnly()<CR>
This will open a new window and display your formatted HTML document in
that window. Note that bold-face, italics, links, etc. will be lost --
all you will see is the text -- but the "-underscore" parameter to Lynx
causes any text that would have been bold, italicized, or underlined to be
displayed like _this_.
The other trick requires that vim be running on your current machine, and that
you be running a GUI of some sort (X-Windows, Windows, etc.). You can cause
vim to invoke your favorite browser and have it display the file, like this:
function PreviewHTML_External()
exe "silent !mozilla -remote \"openurl(file://" . expand( "%:p" ) . ")\""
endfunction
map <Leader>pp :call PreviewHTML_External()<CR>
If you don't use mozilla, you will need to modify the function to use your
preferred browser.

If you include the "r" flag in the 'formatoptions' option (:help 'fo'
, :help fo-table ) then the comment leader is inserted
automatically when you start a new line in a comment. For example, in TeX
the "%" character is the comment leader, and you might type
% This is a tex file. % The comment leaders on all lines but the first
were generated automatically. % This is the last line of the comment,
but Vim will insert the comment leader on the next line. %
You can get rid of the comment leader (along with anything you may already
have typed on the line) without affecting the indent, if any, by typing
"<C-U>" while in Insert mode.
Related point: if you want to adjust the indent while in Insert mode,
you can use "<C-D>" (to Decrease the indent)
or "<C-T>" (to increase it). In the docs for Vim 6.0, this is described
in the users' manual, :help 30.4 .

Vim provides various commands and options to support editing multiple buffers.
This document covers some of the questions asked about using multiple buffers
with Vim. You can get more detailed information about Vim buffer support using
":help windows.txt" in Vim. You can also use the help keywords mentioned in
this document to read more about a particular command or option. To read more
about a particular command or option use, ":help <helpkeyword>" in Vim.
1. What is a Vim buffer?
A buffer is a file loaded into memory for editing. All opened files
are associated with a buffer. There are also buffers not associated with
any file.
Help keyword(s): windows-intro
2. How do I identify a buffer?
Vim buffers are identified using a name and a number. The name of the
buffer is the name of the file associated with that buffer. The buffer
number is a unique sequential number assigned by Vim. This buffer number
will not change in a single Vim session.
Help keyword(s): :buffers
3. How do I create a buffer?
When you open a file using any of the Vim commands, a buffer is
automatically created. For example, if you use the ":edit file" command
to edit a file, a new buffer is automatically created.
4. How do I add a new buffer for a file to the buffer list without opening
the file? You can add a new buffer for a file without opening it, using
the ":badd" ex command. For example,
:badd f1.txt :badd f2.txt
The above commands will add two new buffers for the files f1.txt and
f2.txt to the buffer list.
Help keyword(s): :badd
5. How do I get a list of all the existing buffers?
You can get a list of all the existing buffers using the ":buffers" or
":ls" or ":files" ex command. This list is called the 'buffer list'.
In Vim 6.0, to display all the buffers including unlisted buffers, use the
":buffers!" or ":ls!" or ":files!" ex command.
Help keyword(s): :buffers, :ls, :files
6. How do I delete a buffer?
You can delete a buffer using the ":bdelete" ex command. You can use either
the buffer name or the buffer number to specify a buffer. For example,
:bdelete f1.txt :bdelete 4
The above commands will delete the buffer named "f1.txt" and the fourth
buffer in the buffer list. The ":bdelete" command will remove the buffer
from the buffer list.
In Vim 6.0, when a buffer is deleted, the buffer becomes an unlisted-buffer
and is no longer included in the buffer list. But the buffer name and other
information associated with the buffer is still remembered. To completely
delete the buffer, use the ":bwipeout" ex command. This command will remove
the buffer completely (i.e. the buffer will not become a unlisted buffer).
Help keyword(s): :bdelete, :bwipeout
7. How do I delete multiple buffers?
You can delete multiple buffers in several ways:
1. Pass a range argument to the ":bdelete" command. For example,
:3,5bdelete
This command will delete the buffers 3, 4 and 5.
2. Pass multiple buffer names to the ":bdelete" command. For example,
:bdelete buf1.txt buf2.c buf3.h
This command will delete buf1.txt, buf2.c and buf3.h buffers. In this
example, after typing ":bdelete buf", you can press <Ctrl-A>
to expand all the buffer names starting with 'buf'.
Help keyword(s): :bdelete, :bwipeout
8. How do I remove a buffer from a window?
You can remove a buffer displayed in a window in several ways:
1. Close the window or edit another buffer/file in that window. 2. Use
the ":bunload" ex command. This command will remove the buffer
from the window and unload the buffer contents from memory. The buffer
will not be removed from the buffer list.
Help keyword(s): :bunload
9. How do I edit an existing buffer from the buffer list?
You can edit or jump to a buffer in the buffer list in several ways:
1. Use the ":buffer" ex command passing the name of an existing buffer
or the buffer number. Note that buffer name completion can be used
here by pressing the <Tab> key.
2. You can enter the buffer number you want to jump/edit and press the
Ctrl-^ key.
3. Use the ":sbuffer" ex command passing the name of the buffer or the
buffer number. Vim will split open a new window and open the specified
buffer in that window.
4. You can enter the buffer number you want to jump/edit and press the
Ctrl-W ^ or Ctrl-W Ctrl-^ keys. This will open the specified buffer
in a new window.
Help keyword(s): :buffer, :sbuffer, CTRL-W_^, CTRL-^
10. How do I browse through all the available buffers?
You can browse through the buffers in the buffer list in several ways:
1. To jump to the first buffer in the buffer list, use the ":bfirst" or
":brewind" ex command.
2. To jump to the first buffer in the buffer list in a new window, use
the ":sbfirst" or ":sbrewind" ex command.
3. To edit the next buffer in the buffer list, use the ":bnext" ex
command.
4. To open the next buffer in the buffer list in a new window, use the
":sbnext" ex command.
5. To edit the previous buffer in the buffer list, use the ":bprevious"
or ":bNext" ex command.
6. To open the previous buffer in the buffer list in a new window, use
the ":sbprevious" or ":sbNext" ex command.
7. To open the last buffer in the buffer list, use the ":blast" ex
command.
8. To open the last buffer in the buffer list in a new window, use the
":sblast" ex command.
Help keyword(s): :bfirst, :brewind, :sbfirst, :sbrewind, :bnext,
:sbnext, :bprevious, :bNext, :sbprevious, :sbNext,
:blast, :sblast
11. How do I open all the buffers in the buffer list?
You can open all the buffers present in the buffer list using the ":ball"
or ":sball" ex commands.
Help keyword(s): :ball, :sball
12. How do I open all the loaded buffers?
You can open all the loaded buffers in the buffer list using the ":unhide"
or ":sunhide" ex commands. Each buffer will be loaded in a separate
new window.
Help keyword(s): :unhide, :sunhide
13. How do I open the next modified buffer?
You can open the next or a specific modified buffer using the ":bmodified"
ex command. You can open the next or a specific modified buffer in a
new window using the ":sbmodified" ex command.
Help keyword(s): :bmodified, :sbmodified
14. I am using the GUI version of Vim (gvim), is there a simpler way for
using the buffers instead of the ex commands? Yes. In the GUI version of
Vim, you can use the 'Buffers' menu, which simplifies the use of buffers.
All the buffers in the buffer list are listed in this menu. You can
select a buffer name from this menu to edit the buffer. You can also
delete a buffer or browse the buffer list.
Help keyword(s): buffers-menu
15. Is there a Vim script that simplifies using buffers with Vim?
Yes. You can use the bufexplorer.vim script to simplify the process of
using buffers. You can download the bufexplorer script from:
<A
HREF="http://lanzarotta.tripod.com/vim.html">http://lanzarotta.tripod.com/vim.html</A><BR>
16. Is it possible to save and restore the buffer list across Vim sessions?
Yes. To save and restore the buffer list across Vim session, include the
'%' flag in the 'viminfo' option. Note that if Vim is invoked with a
filename argument, then the buffer list will not be restored from the
last session. To use buffer lists across sessions, invoke Vim without
passing filename arguments.
Help keyword(s): 'viminfo', viminfo
17. How do I remove all the entries from the buffer list?
You can remove all the entries in the buffer list by starting Vim with
a file argument. You can also manually remove all the buffers using the
":bdelete" ex command.
18. What is a hidden buffer?
A hidden buffer is a buffer with some unsaved modifications and is not
displayed in a window. Hidden buffers are useful, if you want to edit
multiple buffers without saving the modifications made to a buffer while
loading other buffers.
Help keyword(s): :buffer-!, 'hidden', hidden-buffer, buffer-hidden
19. How do I load buffers in a window, which currently has a buffer with
unsaved modifications? By setting the option 'hidden', you can load
buffers in a window that currently has a modified buffer. Vim will
remember your modifications to the buffer. When you quit Vim, you will be
asked to save the modified buffers. It is important to note that, if you
have the 'hidden' option set, and you quit Vim forcibly, for example using
":quit!", then you will lose all your modifications to the hidden buffers.
Help keyword(s): 'hidden'
20. Is it possible to unload or delete a buffer when it becomes hidden?
The following works only in Vim 6.0 and above. By setting the 'bufhidden'
option to either 'hide' or 'unload' or 'delete', you can control what
happens to a buffer when it becomes hidden. When 'bufhidden' is set to
'delete', the buffer is deleted when it becomes hidden. When 'bufhidden'
is set to 'unload', the buffer is unloaded when it becomes hidden.
When 'bufhidden' is set to 'hide', the buffer is hidden.
Help keyword(s): 'bufhidden'
21. How do I execute a command on all the buffers in the buffer list?
In Vim 6.0, you can use the ":bufdo" ex command to execute an ex command
on all the buffers in the buffer list.
Help keyword(s): :bufdo
22. When I open an existing buffer from the buffer list, if the buffer is
already displayed in one of the existing windows, I want Vim to jump to
that window instead of creating a new window for this buffer. How do I
do this? When opening a buffer using one of the split open buffer commands
(:sbuffer, :sbnext), Vim will open the specified buffer in a new window.
If the buffer is already opened in one of the existing windows, then
you will have two windows containing the same buffer. You can change
this behavior by setting the 'switchbuf' option to 'useopen'. With this
setting, if a buffer is already opened in one of the windows, Vim will
jump to that window, instead of creating a new window.
Help keyword(s): 'switchbuf'
23. What information is stored as part of a buffer?
Every buffer in the buffer list contains information about the last
cursor position, marks, jump list, etc.
24. What is the difference between deleting a buffer and unloading a
buffer? When a buffer is unloaded, it is not removed from the buffer list.
Only the file contents associated with the buffer are removed from memory.
When a buffer is deleted, it is unloaded and removed from the buffer list.
In Vim 6, a deleted buffer becomes an 'unlisted' buffer.
Help keyword(s): :bunload, :bdelete, :bwipeout, unlisted-buffer
25. Is it possible to configure Vim, by setting some option, to re-use the
number of a deleted buffer for a new buffer? No. Vim will not re-use the
buffer number of a deleted buffer for a new buffer. Vim will always assign
the next sequential number for a new buffer. The buffer number assignment
is implemented this way, so that you can always jump to a buffer using the
same buffer number. One method to achieve buffer number reordering is to
restart Vim. If you restart Vim, it will re-assign numbers sequentially
to all the buffers in the buffer list (assuming you have properly set
'viminfo' to save and restore the buffer list across vim sessions).
Help keyword(s): :buffers
26. What options do I need to set for a scratch (temporary) buffer?
The following works only in Vim 6.0 and above. You can set the the
following options to create a scratch (temporary) buffer:
:set buftype=nofile :set bufhidden=hide :setlocal noswapfile
This will create a buffer which is not associated with a file, which
does not have a associated swap file and will be hidden when removed
from a window.
Help keyword(s): special-buffers, 'buftype'
27. How do I prevent a buffer from being added to the buffer list?
The following works only in Vim 6.0 and above. You can prevent a buffer
from being added to the buffer list by resetting the 'buflisted' option.
:set nobuflisted
Help keyword(s): 'buflisted'
28. How do I determine whether a buffer is modified or not?
There are several ways to find out whether a buffer is modified or not.
The simplest way is to look at the status line or the title bar. If the
displayed string contains a '+' character, then the buffer is modified.
Another way is to check whether the 'modified' option is set or not.
If 'modified' is set, then the buffer is modified. To check the value
of modified, use
:set modified?
You can also explicitly set the 'modified' option to mark the buffer as
modified like this:
:set modified
Help keyword(s): 'modified'
29. How can I prevent modifications to a buffer?
The following works only in Vim 6.0 and above. You can prevent any
modification to a buffer by re-setting the 'modifiable' option. To reset
this option, use
:set nomodifiable
To again allow modifications to the buffer, use:
:set modifiable
Help keyword(s): 'modifiable'
30. How do I set options specific to the current buffer?
The following works only in Vim 6.0 and above. You can set Vim options
which are specific to a buffer using the "setlocal" command. For example,
:setlocal textwidth=70
This will set the 'textwidth' option to 70 only for the current buffer.
All other buffers will have the default or the previous 'textwidth' value.
Help keyword(s): 'setlocal', local-options
31. How do I define mappings specific to the current buffer?
The following works only in Vim 6.0 and above. You can define mappings
specific to the current buffer by using the keyword "<buffer>"
in the map command. For example,
:map <buffer> ,w /[.,;]<CR>
Help keyword(s): :map-local
32. How do I define abbreviations specific to the current buffer?
The following works only in Vim 6.0 and above. You can define
abbreviations specific to the current buffer by using the keyword
"<buffer>" in the :abbreviate command. For example,
:abb <buffer> FF for (i = 0; i < ; ++i)
Help keyword(s): :abbreviate-local

remaps Caps to Left Alt, 38,00,1D remaps Left Alt to Left Ctrl and 1D,00,3A
remaps Left Ctrl to Caps Lock since 3A=Caps, 1D=Left Ctrl and 38=Left Alt.
Based on Juano tip and on this one, I believe a lot of remapping can be done
as long as you keep the separators 00 and remember to add one to the number
of remappings. What I do not know is how far you can extend this instruction
without getting into trouble with the registry. At worst, if you keyboard does
not behave as expected, go into the registry and delete this instruction (be
careful here since it is easy to confuse this instruction with the Keyboard
LayoutS (S for emphasis) which must not be deleted.
Again, thanks to Juano@mindspring.com who got me going and suggested I
post my tip. Took me some time to retrieve the VIM Url but fortunately,
I had printed his tip.

Hi All,
While browsing code one always needs to know which function you are currently
looking. Getting the name is very painful when the functions are lengthy
and you are currently browsing NOT near to the start of the function. You
can get the function's name by using this simple mapping.
Just place this in your .vimrc.
map _F ma[[k"xyy`a:echo @x<CR>
now _F will display which function you are currently in.
Enjoy the power of Vim -Nitin Raut
PS: The working is as follows, mark the current line with a, jump to the
previous '{' in the first column, go one line up, yank the line in register
x, return to the mark a, echo the value of register x, which is the wanted
function name.

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=140">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=140</A><BR>
When writing scripts using the embedded interpreter available if vim has the
+perl ore +perl/dyn on gives you access to this powerfull and FAST scripting
language (especially fast compared to vim scripts) there are some gotchas.
First: never embed complex perl command in the body of a vim function this
will be recompiled and evaled each time for a tremendous loss of time.instead
to it like this
perl << EOF sub mySub {
#some usefull perl stuff
} EOF
function! MyFunction perl mySub "an argument", "another" endfunction
to pass computed argument to your perl sub use the vim exec command
function! MyFunction exec "perl mySub " . aLocalVar . ", " b:aBufferLocalVar
endfunction
It may be very hard to debug your perl sub since the output of the perl
compiler is somehow lost in the middle of nowhere and the debugger is not
available. When a compilation error occurs in your sub definition you'll get
an error message when you try to call it saying that the sub does not exists.
One thing which I have found very usefull is to write a fake VIM module with
stub methods which will allow you to use the command line perl interpretor
to at least compile your program. You could make your stub smart enough to
fake a vim and use the debugger. Here is a sample for such a fake module
defining just those method which I was using.
package VIM; use diagnostics; use strict; sub VIM::Eval {
$_ = shift;
print "Eval $_\n";
{
return
'^(?!!)([^\t]*)\t[^\t]*\t(.*);"\t([^\t]*)\tline:(\d*).*$'
if (/g:TagsBase_pattern/); return $ARGV[0] if
(/b:fileName/); return '$3' if (/g:TagsBase_typePar/);
return '$1' if (/g:TagsBase_namePar/); return '$4' if
(/g:TagsBase_linePar/); return 'Ta&gs' if (/s:menu_name/);
return $ARGV[1] if (/g:TagsBase_groupByType/);
die "unknown eval $_";
}
} sub VIM::Msg {
my $msg = shift; print "MSG $msg\n";
} sub VIM::DoCommand {
my $package; my $filename; my $line;
($package, $filename, $line) = caller;
my $command = shift; print "at $filename $line\n"; print "DoCommand
$command\n";
} 1;
Then you can copy other your perl code in a separate file and add a use VIM;
at the top and your set to debug.

Hi,
The fold-method marker can be effectively use to set the folds in your
Java source. Define some marker and place it inside HTML comments <!--
xx -->. This way, it does not affect the Javadocs generated without the
necessity of a seprate comment line. e.g.
/**
* <!-- zz.FOLDSTART class AbcClass --> * The class description.
* ... */
public class AbcClass {
/**
* <!-- method zz.FOLDSTART someMethod() --> * Method description.
*/
public void someMethod();
...
} /* zz.END: AbcClass */
/* Put this at the end of your file */ /* vim:fdm=marker
fmr=zz.FOLDSTART,zz.END fdl=2 fdc=2: */
Now, the files will be opened with the methods neatly folded. You can use
"zR" to open all folds (or click on the "+" at the left column).

The most useful feature that I find in VIM is the "recording" feature (:help
recording). I have used this to automatically insert function headers,
re-indent lines, and convert some 34 source files into HTML.
This feature is most useful when you want to do some repeated jobs, which
you cant do easily using ".". You can set about writing a function, define
a mapping, etc, but then these things might take time. By recording, you
can try out and find the actual keystrokes that does the job.
To start recording, press "q" in normal mode followed by any of "0-9a-z".
This will start recording the keystrokes to the register you choose. You can
also see the word "recording" in the status(?) line. You can start the key
sequences that you want to record. You can go to insert mode and type if
you want.
To stop recording, press "q" in the normal mode.
To playback your keystrokes, press "@" followed by the character you choose.
Pressing "@@" will repeat the same again.

Those of us doomed to work in both the Unix and Windows world have many times
encountered files that were create/editted on systems other that the one
we are on at the time of our edits. We can easily correct the dreaded '^M'

To change from <CR><LF> (DOS) to just <LF> (Unix): :set
fileformat=unix :w
Or to change back the other way: :set fileformat=dos :w
It also works for Apple land: :set fileformat=mac :w
And to tell the difference: set statusline=%<%f%h%m%r%=%{&ff}\ %l,%c%V\ %P

i use the :split command a lot -- both to open a second window containing
the currently edited file and to edit a new file altogether (with the :split
<filename> option). however, i also like to be able to edit more than
one file and calling :sp multiple times is inconvenient. so, i created the
following command, function and abbreviation:
function! Sp(...)
if(a:0 == 0)
sp
else
let i = a:0 while(i > 0)
execute 'let file = a:' . i execute 'sp ' . file
let i = i - 1
endwhile
endif
endfunction com! -nargs=* -complete=file Sp call Sp(<f-args>) cab sp Sp
this retains the behaviour of :sp in that i can still type :sp (the
abbreviation takes care of that). :Sp takes any number of files and opens
them all up, one after the other.
the things i have noticed are that this causes 'sp' to be expanded to 'Sp'
everywhere, even in search patterns. also, prepending 'vert' doesn't work.
if there is interest, i'll do that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# InternalAppFunction: this function cannot be called from outside the #
script, and its name won't clash with whatever else the user has loaded
fu! <SID>InternalAppFunction(...) ..whatever.. endf
#
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plugins are intended to be "drop into <.vim/plugin>" and work.
The problem that the <Plug>, <SID>, etc stuff is intended to
resolve: what to do about functions that have the same names in different
plugins, and what to do about maps that use the same sequence of characters?
The first problem is solved with <SID> (a script identifier number)
that vim assigns: program with it and your users will be happier when your
stuff works with all their other stuff. The second problem: what to about
those maps is addressed with <Plug>, <unique>, etc. Basically
the idea is: let the user know that there are clashes and don't overwrite
previously existing maps. Use the user's preferred map-introducer sequence
(I like the backslash, but there are many keyboards which make producing
backslashes unpleasant, and those users usually prefer something else).
What I like to do is to have a pair of start/stop maps to reduce my impact
on the namespace. When the starting map is used, it kicks off a starting
function that introduces all the maps needed. When the stopping map is
used, it not only removes the maps the starter made but restores any maps
the user had had that would have clashed. I also use the start/stop pair
of functions to set and restore options that cause my scripts difficulties.
Check out DrawIt.vim's SaveMap() function for a way to save user maps.
Restoring maps with it is easy:
if b:restoremap != ""
exe b:restoremap unlet b:restoremap
endif
So you can see it sets up a string variable with all the maps that the user
had that would have clashed with my application.
One final thing: if your application needs to share information between
its various functions, see if you can use s:varname (a variable that only
your script's functions can access) or b:varname (a variable that anything
associated with the buffer your application is running with can access)
instead of using global variables.
Good luck and happy Vimming!

the first line's number will be used as a starting value. Subsequent lines's
numbers will be incremented by one.
If the ctrl-v block is "ragged right", which can happen when "$" is used to
select the right hand side, the block will have spaces appended as needed
to straighten it out. If the strlen of the count exceeds the visual-block
allotment of spaces, then additional spaces will be inserted.
Example: Put cursor on topmost zero, select column with ctrl-v, then :I

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2) +++++++++++++ Further improvement of
parenthesis/bracket expanding +++++++++++++++++ 3) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Late" bracketing of text +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Conclusion ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++
=======================================================================================
1) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Automatic" bracket setting
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To automatically insert a closing parenthesis when typing an opening
parenthesis you can insert the following simple mapping to your vimrc:
:inoremap ( ()<ESC>i
This ends up with the cursor between the opening and the closing parenthesis
in insert mode.
You can apply this and the following tips, of course, with the kind of
parenthesis/bracket character you want to, i.e. (, {, [, < ..... and,
pretty useful as well, quotation marks ",',.... (to be continued)
2) +++++++++++++++ Further improvement of parenthesis/bracket expanding
++++++++++++++++++
I you are ready with filling the parenthesis/brackets, you likely want to
"escape" from the brackets again to continue coding. To make this pretty
comfortable, I invented the following kind of mappings, which get out of
the last expanded parenthesis/bracket, regardless of the actual type of it,
and enter append mode again. I mapped this kind of "getaway" with CTRL_j,
you may use your favorite keystroke with it.
...
:inoremap ( ()<ESC>:let leavechar=")"<CR>i :inoremap [
[]<ESC>:let leavechar="]"<CR>i
...
:imap <C-j> <ESC>:exec "normal f" . leavechar<CR>a
Explanation: The variable "leavechar" contents the actual char which is to
"escape" from.
3) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Late" bracketing of text
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Occasionally I later want already written text parts to put in parenthesis.
I use the following macro, which brackets previously visually selected text.
I mapped it with _(.
:vnoremap _( <ESC>`>a)<ESC>`<i(<ESC>
Furthermore, a sort of mapping for bracketing a *single word* is conceivable.
Because this is not as general like the kind of visual mode mapping, I use
this kind of "word bracketing" only for surrounding the word right behind
the cursor in insert mode with **. I use the following macro to "emphasize"
the word i just typed, for newsgroup articles.
:imap _* <Esc>bi*<Esc>ea*<Space>
4) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Conclusion
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Since I use these macros, I never caused a syntax error because of missing
brackets, and furthermore I can quickly insert parenthesis and qutotes into
code- and non-code files.

Here's a plugin to automatically decompile Java .class files as they're
read in. Tweak the javap flags for what you want to see. I didn't post
this as a script because it's too simple and it's really more useful for
demonstrating how to read decompilable files (or other binary files that
can be converted to text).
function s:ReadClass(dir, classname)
execute "cd " . a:dir execute "0read !javap -c " . a:classname 1 setlocal

i had some trouble with the sqlplus scripts (probably my fault). but it
seemed a little heavy for what i need, usually all i want is a listing of
the columns for a given table while i'm whipping on some sql inside vim.
so i wrote a bash script (describe)...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~begin describe script #!/usr/bin/bash
f=aTempFile.sql u=<uName> p=<pWord> d=<dBase>
echo "/* describe for $1" echo "describe $1;" > $f; echo "quit;"
>> $f;
sqlplus -S $u/$p@$d @$f rm -f $f; echo " end describe for $1 */"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end describe script
your path needs to include the script (as well as sqlplus), then from vim
you can just type....
:r !describe <tableName>
and you get a listing of the table columns slammed into wherever your cursor
was, complete with java/c comments

If you really like the Computer Modern typewriter font (as seen in most TeX
distributions) you can use it as the font in gvim! (looks excellent with
font smoothing turned on)
First, get hold of the free Blue Sky Type 1 PS versions of the CM fonts from
your local CTAN mirror. Unpack to a suitable directory.
Next locate the cmtt8.pfb file and open it (in Vim, naturally ;) - find the
line saying dup 32 /visiblespace put
and change it to dup 32 /space put
that is, inserting enough spaces to keep the file size exactly the same
(IMPORTANT!)
Save the file in Mac format (:set fileformat=mac).
Now install the cmtt.pfm file - in Win9x/NT4, you'll need Adobe Type Manager
(free download), but in Win2k, you can just drop the .pfm file into the
Fonts folder.
Now in your _gvimrc: set guifont=CMTT8:h11:cSYMBOL
(use whatever height you like instead of h11)
..and enjoy! It's the first scalable font I can bear to edit code in... %-)

---------------------------------------------------
4) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Conclusion
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=====================================================================================
1) ++++++++++++++ Saving Keystrokes for common Substituting and Searching
+++++++++++
a) Searching ............ Sorry, there is not much that can be saved for
common Searching. It's just hitting /mypattern<RETURN>
b) Substituting ......... I think, common substitution requires pretty many
keystrokes. So I use the following macro with my favorite substitution options:
:map <F4> :%s//gc<Left><Left><Left>
This ends up with the cursor after the first '/' in the
commandline. To complete it, you only have to enter ->
myoldpattern/mynewpattern<RETURN>
Remark: I mapped it to <F4> (cause of tribute to the <F4> of
the good old Norton Commander editor). You may map it where you want to.
2) ++++ Searching for resp. Substituting of the current word under the
cursor ++++++
a) Searching ............ If you don't know how to look for the next
occurence of the word under the cursor, you should *now* type :help * or
:help star or refer to the tips vimtip #1 or vimtip #5 ((Tip within tip:
To make your pattern more visible, look for :help hls))
b) Substituting ......... The following macro extends the one above with
automatically inserting the current word under the cursor into the from -
pattern of the :s command.
:map <S-F4>
:%s/<C-r><C-w>//gc<Left><Left><Left>
To complete it, just enter -> mynewpattern<RETURN>
I use this i.e. for reliable and quickly renaming a variable in the entire
buffer. I mapped it to Shift-<F4>. You may map it to the keystroke
you want.
Explanation: CTRL-v+CTRL-w expands to the word under the cursor.
3) ++ Searching and Substituting for an arbitrary visually selected part of
text ++++
If you want to look or substitute (for) an *arbritary* pattern (which
already exists at least once in your text), the following 2 mappings do it
for you. The advantage is that you dont have to type again or cut & paste
the appropriate text but only have to visually select it.
a) Searching ...........
:vmap / y:execute "/".escape(@",'[]/\.*')<CR>
This immediately finds to the next occurence of the previously visually
selected text.
b) Substituting .........
:vmap <F4> y:execute
"%s/".escape(@",'[]/\')."//gc"<Left><Left><Left><Left>
Again, as in the mapping in chapter 2), you just have to complete it by
entering -> mynewpattern<RETURN>
Explanation/Discussion: What both Substituting and Searching in this way
generally does is: - *y*anking the selected text - Inserting the visually
selected via adressing the '"' register with '@"' as a
parameter of the escape() function going finally into the 'myoldpattern'
part. The trickery problem is, if you have characters in your myoldpattern,
which are regular expression chars, they are recognized and threated
accordingly. That is most likely not what you wanted. To escape them, these
chars have to be declared by the second parameter of the excape() function,
which then escapes them with a backslash. The few characters above work
for me. If you run into problems, you should check for additional regexp
chars in your text, and try to escape them by adding them to the escape()
function parameter.
4) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Conclusion
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With the appropriate mappings in your vimrc you can save keystrokes when
Searching or Substituting and avoid typing errors. That way, you can take
lunch sooner

Several plugins use a text base interface based on a special buffer, this
is the case of the standard explorer plugin, several bufexplorer plugins,
the option buffer and others... Here is a quick guide in how to do this
Writing a special buf script
| using a special buffer is a common technic when writing
Vim scripts, it is used by | explorer, bufexplorer,
DirDiff... | I'm currently writing one for TagsBase.vim | <A
HREF="http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=100
">http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=100 </A><BR>
| and I'll use this document to take notes on how to do it. |
Setting up the buffer
Opening the window TODO
Using a setup function
Principle
| we can use a specific function to open and setup
the special buffer. s:SetupBuf()
Setup Function advantage
| since the command will be defined in the main
script you | can use script local functions
Using a special filetype
Principle
| we can also use a new filetype and distribute a
syntax and an ftplugin for this | filetype, the only
thing needed in this case is to set the | filetype
after creating the buffer
Filetype advantage
| better separations of different parts of your
script. If | the main function of your plugin is
not to have this | special buffer then it is nice
to avoid clutering it.
Things which needs to be done to setup the buffer
The buffer should not be listed and does not correspond to
a file
* setlocal buftype=nofile - options always local
to buffer * set nobuflisted * set bufhidden=delete *
set nomodifiable
Setup the syntax for this buffer
| see :help syntax | This is usually done in two
steps, first describe the | syntax groups using :syn
commands then setup the | hilighting using :hi def
link commands. Usually it is | best to link the
newly defined groups to predefine ones in | order
to make the coloring work fine with colorschemes.
| You'll find the list of predefined group by doing:
| :help group-name
Setup the special mappings
| since we have chosen to use the set nomodifiable
option | our buffer will never be in insert mode. All
our mapping | are in Normal, Visual or operator
pending, they should | therefore use the map, nmap,
vmap and omap mapping command | plus the associated
'nore' version. I usually find it | better to use the
'nore' version to avoid surprises due to | mapping
in the user configuration. | | We also want our
mappings to be local to the special | buffer so all
the commands will use the <buffer> modifier.
| | Finally we want our mappings not to polute the
status bar | so we use the <silent> modifier |
| Putting all this together we end up with mapping
commands | which look like: | noremap <buffer>
<silent> {lhs} {rhs}
Setup the special command
| we will then setup special commands for this buffer.
Like | for the mapping there are some precautions to
take: | we don't want an error message if the command
is defined | twice so we use the command! variant. |
We want a command local to our buffer wo we use the |
-buffer attribute. The rests of the command attributes
| and options depend on the actual command. | So
our commands look like: | command! -buffer {attr}
{cmd} {rep} | where attr is optional.

If you want to completely swap caps lock and escape, you have to replace
the "Lock" on caps lock. Drop this file in your home dir:<br>
-----------start------------<br> ! Swap caps lock and escape<br>
remove Lock = Caps_Lock<br> keysym Escape = Caps_Lock<br>
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape<br> add Lock = Caps_Lock<br>
------------end-------------<br> and call it ".speedswapper". Then
open a terminal and type<br> $ xmodmap .speedswapper<br>
and you'll be twice as efficient in vim. Who needs caps lock anyway? The
swapping lasts for the duration of the X session, so you can put it in a
.xinitrc or similar startup file. As far as other people using my laptop,
I'd rather they didn't! Using a Dvorak layout might protect me even more... :)

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=167">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=167</A><BR>
To use vim as a man-page viewer involves setting an environment variable:
sh, ksh: export MANPAGER="col -b | view -c 'set ft=man nomod nolist'
-" csh : setenv MANPAGER "col -b | view -c 'set ft=man nomod nolist' -"
Put one of the above two lines into your <.profile> or <.login>
file as appropriate for your shell.
The man pages will then be displayed with vim called as "view" and
will use the <man.vim> syntax highlighting. I myself use some
additional highlighting which is enabled by putting the following file into
<.vim/after/syntax/man.vim>. I usually use the <astronaut>

manSubSection something they'll want to change:

GVIM has an excellent syntax highlighting for XPM images, but sometimes
it's useful to view the actual data. This can be achieved by searching for
everything, type in "/." and all characters will be highlighted and therefore
the old colouring is lost. To regain the normal highlighting you can search
for a non-existent sequence, like "/foo".

An FAQ on the vim users' mailing list is whether <Tab> and
<C-I>
can be mapped to different things. The answer is no. As I understand it,
this is a low level issue: <Tab> and <C-I> are different names

Similarly, <Esc> and <C-[> are the same thing.

Imagine.
You have just finished a complicated modification of a file, involving

Then you realize, you have done it a little bit wrong, and you have to begin
all the operation again, just to change one replace string, or do one more
operation "somewhere 10 commands ago".
Or you realize, you will have to do the same stuff tomorrow with another file.
or you realize, you want to perform the same sequence of commands, you have
typed a few days ago
You should have made it a macro (normal command q), but you haven't.
Nothing is lost yet.
You go to the command line (by typing :) and press Ctrl+F. (Ctrl+F in other
modes scrolls the screen)
You get a temporary window, listing the history of command line.
It is possible to yank appropriate lines here, make a new file called
$VIMRUNTIME/macros/something.vim put those lines here, edit them and save
see :help cedit
Then you can call the macro using :source something.vim

Directly from the Vim Todo list:
7 For Visual mode: Command to do a search for the string in the marked area.
Only when less than two lines. Use "g/" and "g?".
In other words, a way to search for visually selected text !! :-)
"==== vsearch.vim ====
" Visual mode search
vmap g/ :call VsearchPatternSave()<cr>/<c-r>/<cr> vmap
g? :call VsearchPatternSave()<cr>?<c-r>/<cr>
function! VsearchPatternSave()
let l:temp = @@ normal gvy let @/ = substitute(escape(@@, '/\'), "\n",
"\\\\n", "g") let @@ = l:temp unlet l:temp
endfunction
"==== END ====
Normally, this file should reside in the plugins directory and be
automatically sourced. If not, you must manually source this file using
':source vsearch.vim'.
In Visual mode, highlight the text for searching. Then you can use the
default visual key mappings
g/ - search forwards g? - search backwards
Visual searches behave like normal searches. The 'n' and 'N' commands
work as they should, and the search history correctly records each search.
Multi-line searches behave as they should (this corrects the 'yank-only'
method mentioned in the Vim help files). Block visual searches do not
work yet. Hopefully, someone can figure out a way to do this easily.
I've only tested this on Win2000 and Redhat Linux 7.1. I'm not really clear
on how the carriage returns are dealt with on other systems.
Anyway, enjoy!

I am a Web developer and I use Vim as my primary editor.
Most programming projects (and Web programming projects, in particular)
are spread out over multiple files, which you often want to have open
concurrently. If you don't already know, Vim supports this very well! Just use:
:sp name-of-another-file-to-edit
My problems were that (1) it took too long to move between files, and (2)
the files were taking up too much room on the screen.
(1) In order to move to the file in the split above my current window, I was
typing Ctrl-W, Up (move up a window) Ctrl-W, _ (maximize the menu). That's
four keystrokes (more if you count Ctrl and Shift), and they are all over
the keyboard. To help avoid this problem, I created this mapping in my .vimrc:
map <C-J> <C-W>j<C-W>_ map <C-K>
<C-W>k<C-W>_
Now I can hold down Ctrl and move between windows with the standard Vim
movement keys. Much, much quicker!
(2) By default, Vim displays the current line of each minimized file, which
(to me) isn't much help and takes up too much screen real estate. I use this
line in my .vimrc:
set wmh=0
This sets the minimum window height to 0, so you can stack many more files
before things get crowded. Vim will only display the filename.
Hope this helps those of you who are working on projects with large numbers
of files you're constantly flipping through. Happy Vimming!

i.e if ur using SQLplus and want to edit a sql command. normally typing
edit brings up the vi editor and not vim editor. to solve this problem.
define these three variables in your .profile VIM=<base directory where
vim executable is placed> VIMRUNTIME=<base direcoty where vim runtimes
are kept> EDITOR=$VIM/vim
note if u have installed vim with another name, say vim.exe then change
EDITOR=$VIM/vim to EDITOR=$VIM/vim.exe
source the .profile and viola. next time u start an editor from any program
u have the vim editor.

Suppose there's a colorscheme that you're pretty fond of, but hate one or
two particular aspects about. For example, I love the "blue" colorscheme
that ships with vim, but I find it's colors for the non-active status line
to be unreadable. Here's how to create a colorscheme which extends "blue"
without copying it to a new file and editing it.
In my ~/.vim/colors, I created a "my-blue.vim" file with these contents:
"these lines are suggested to be at the top of every colorscheme hi clear
if exists("syntax_on")
syntax reset
endif
"Load the 'base' colorscheme - the one you want to alter runtime

Vim is distributed with comprehensive help system, which has basic hyperlink
support - you can press <C-]> over |some subject| or 'some option'
to read more about particular term.
The following mappings simplify help buffer navigation: pressing s(or S)
will find next(previous) subject from cursor position pressing o(or O) will
find next(previous) option from cursor position pressing Enter will jump to
subject under cursor pressing Backspace will return from the last jump
Put them into help filetype plugin (like ~/.vim/ftplugin/help.vim on UNIX).
nmap <buffer> <CR> <C-]> nmap <buffer> <BS>
<C-T> nmap <buffer> o /'[a-z]\{2,\}'<CR> nmap <buffer>

Normally in Windows, if you try to "launch" a file whose extension is not
registered with the system, the OS will prompt you for what editor you would
like to use to open the file. A much more appealing solution, in my mind,
is to make vim the default editor for any unregistered extension.
To set vim up as the default editor for unregistered extensions, follow
these steps: 1. Copy the following into a file named unregistered.reg
-------------begin unregistered.reg----------------- REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\Open\Command] @="d:\\program
files\\vim\\vim60\\gvim.exe \"%1\"" -------------end
unregistered.reg-----------------
2. Import unregistered into your registry. This can be done in vim by
executing the following :!regedit "unregistered.reg"

(Sorry, I think I accidentally added an incomplete tip)
My tip is just a bunch of mappings that can be used while searching.
What it does?
o. Extend your current search. (kinda emacs search where you can search
each occurences
one by one and go back to the cursor position.
o. Scroll/position during mapping. o. Other miscellaneous stuffs ;) read on
How to use?
o. copy and paste the mappings into a file o. open vim (like vim .profile)
o. :so <saved-file> o. start using the mappings
Note:
In case these mappings dont work run like, 'vim -u NONE -U NONE -c
"so the-saved-file.vim"'
Some of my mappings override the default vim bindings. (like Ctrl-A,
Ctrl-Q). I selected those because, I feel by taking those I can do all
the search stuff with my left hand.
One thing I did not like with this is, I usually miss the "search hit
bottom" message. I could have handled that by complicating the current
mappings, but I preferred to make it simple
Mappings Used / => regular forward search start ? =>
regular backward search start Rest of the mappings are used during search
Ctrl-A => search again forward (In normal mode, search forward with
the word under cursor) Ctrl-Q => search again backward (in normal mode,
search backward with the word under cursor) Ctrl-X => restore cursor (use
at any point of time/during-any-operation mentioned during searching) Ctrl-F
=> search with the word under cursor Ctrl-G => incrementally add the
letters following the search pattern (in current line) Ctrl-T Ctrl-T =>
search for the exact Ctrl-T Ctrl-Y => search partial (just strips \<
and \>) Ctrl-E => scroll up during searching Ctrl-Y => scroll down
during searching Ctrl-Z Ctrl-Z => position the cursor to mid of screen
(like zz in normal) Ctrl-Z Ctrl-A => position the cursor to top of screen
(like zt in normal) Ctrl-Z Ctrl-X => position the cursor to bottom of
screen (like zb in normal)
Misc: Ctrl-K during search save the current matching line Ctrl-K in normal
mode pastes the saved line
C mappings Ctrl-V Ctrl-G search for the global variable of the search
pattern/word under cursor Ctrl-V Ctrl-H search for the local variable of
the search pattern/word under cursor

Did you know that with VIM u can search for more than one word with a single
command. say you want to search all occurances of "bill" or "ted", or "harry"
in a text. in normal mode do the following. /\(bill\)\|\(ted\)\|\(harry\)
<Enter>
this will match all instances of either "bill", or "ted", or "harry" in your
text. the key is the \(\) and \| operators. \(\) group characters in a word
and \| is for ORing.
this is so cool u can even use it for replacing text. to replace all
instances of "bill" or "ted" or "harry" with "greg" do the following
:%s/\(bill\)\|\(ted\)\|\(harry\)/greg/g <enter> (note :- if u have
set the option "gdefault" u don't need the "g" at the end of the above command)
I don't know of any other editor which can do this, with so much ease.

In shell scripts, you often define environment variables for diff directory
names. i.e. JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jdk1.4 PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin....
Normally typing Ctrl-X Ctrl-F is used to complete FileName under cursor.
But this does not work if used on lines given above. This is because vim
treats "=" sign as a valid filename character. Since the actual possibility
of "=" being in any filename is very less, this char can be removed from
the list of valid filename char.
set isfname-==
putting the above line in .vimrc will remove "=" from the list of valid

When sending code snippets or diffs to your colleagues either for code review
or for something else as email, how nice and clear it will be if you can
paste it with the Vim syntax highlighting? I am sure they will be impressed
and feel much easier to read the code. It is also very easy and fast (once
you practice it) to do this.
This probably works only on windows and requires you to use Internet Explorer
and an email client that understand RTF content coming from clipboard, such
as Outlook or Outlook Express. At least that would make the process faster. I
haven't tried on any other combination though. This is what you need to do:
- Open the file containing the code/code snippet/diff etc. in gvim. If you
use dark background for GVim (like me), then I would suggest you to change
your color scheme temporarily to something else that has a white background
or just use the "-U NONE" as below:
gvim -U NONE <file>
- Convert the file into HTML by using the following command at the colon
prompt as below:
:runtime syntax/2html.vim
- The above step will open a new window with the HTML content in it. You might
want to just save it with the suggested name or write into a temporary file as:
:w! c:/tmp/t.html
- Open the IE browser window and open the above temp file "c:/tmp/t.html".
- Now you select all (press ^A) and copy it (^C). - You are ready to paste
it with syntax coloring in any application that accepts RTF content from
clipboard, including Outlook or Outlook Express mail composing window.

When one is inserting parentheses some folks like to see the cursor bounce
off the matching parenthesis. To do that, put the following map into your
<.vimrc> file:
inoremap ) )<c-o>%<c-o>:sleep
500m<CR><c-o>%<c-o>a
Adjust the time delay (its 500 milliseconds above) to suit your needs.

debug (at least) those that result due to window close by just doing a debug

An error I sometimes make while working on a LaTeX file is the repetition of
a word as in "the the". Most often, such doubled words come about through
a careless edit. Doubled words are hard to spot when the first word of the
doubled pair is the last word on one line, and the second word of the pair
is the the first word on the next line. There is an example of such an error
in the last sentence. Vim's syntax mechanism can be used to highlight doubled
words as an error.
To obtain this highlighting for TeX and LaTeX files, place the following
two lines:
syn match texDoubleWord "\c\<\(\a\+\)\_s\+\1\>" hi def link
texDoubleWord Error
in a file called tex.vim in the directory that shows up last in your
runtimepath (:set runtimepath? to check). This will often be either
~/.vim/after/syntax/tex.vim or $VIM/vimfiles/after/syntax/tex.vim
The same effect can be obtained for files of a different filetype, say html,
by putting the same lines in a file called html.vim in the same location.

Perl's Data-Base-Independent (DBI) module provides programming language
level access to a lot of databases.
Vim hosts an embedded Perl interpreter. So it is only a matter of some key
strokes to interactively issue DB commands from within Vim or to search,
edit, and replace database contents including retrieval and storage. Of course
"create table" scripts can be worked upon in Vim as well as storing recurring
patterns in Vim functions or Perl modules.
Prerequisites: Vim needs to be compiled with Perl support enabled. See the
|if_perl.txt| manual page! The CPAN module DBI as well as an appropriate
database driver has to be installed with Perl in order to execute these
Vim commands:
" connect to perl's dbi module: :perl use dbi;
" connect to the database: :perl $dbh = dbi->connect(
"DBI:mysql:$DBNAME:$HOST",$USER,$PASSWORD,
{ raiseerror => 1});
" perform a simple query: :perl $result = $dbh->selectall_arrayref("show
tables;");
" insert the list of tables into the current buffer's top: :perl
$curbuf->Append(0, map($_->[0], @{$result}));
In MySql the command "show tables;" results in a list of table names. Inserted
into a Vim buffer this results in one line per table.

displays

This tip is for those who like to change their vim color themes pretty often.
I like different themes just for a change in my work environment. To achieve
this just add the following to your .vimrc or _vimrc file.
let themeindex=0 function! RotateColorTheme()
let y = -1 while y == -1
let colorstring =
"#blue.vim#elflord.vim#evening.vim#koehler.vim#murphy.vim#pablo.vim#ron.vim#"
let x = match(colorstring,"#",g:themeindex) let y =
match(colorstring,"#",x+1) let g:themeindex = x+1 ":echo x
y g:themeindex if y == -1
let g:themeindex = 0
else
let themestring = strpart(colorstring,x+1,y-x-1)
echo("Setting Theme to-> ".themestring) return
":so $VIMRUNTIME/colors/".themestring
endif
endwhile
endfunction
Change the value of colorstring above by changing the line let colorstring =
"#blue.vim#elflord.vim#evening.vim#koehler.vim#murphy.vim#pablo.vim#ron.vim#"
You can add your favorite color themes in this string so that you can rotate
between them. Just make sure that any string that you add is in between the #
as shown above. Just follow the format above and things will work.
Then assign a key to roate the theme. map <F8> :execute
RotateColorTheme()
Dunno if there are better ways to do the same. I just did a "help eval"
and wrote the above.

While creating scripts and others executable files with Vim it is needed to
set UNIX executable bit on the file. You can do this from inside Vim with
:!chmod a+x %. The % represents current buffer's filename. The problem is
that Vim will notice attribute changes and prompt you to reload a file. If
you do this, your undo history for the file will be lost.
The following function facilitate changing executable attributes without
reloading a buffer. Thanks to Bram for the algorithm for this function.
fun! SetExecutableBit()
let fname = expand("%:p") :checktime exec "au FileChangedShell
" . fname . " :echo" :silent !chmod a+x % :checktime exec
"au! FileChangedShell " . fname

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=215">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=215</A><BR>
When you open a file, vim may load several scripts to customize itself for
editing the file type the file is associated with (for example a file "test.c"
is associated with the filetype "c"). Such configurations include the setting
of syntax highlighting colors (:help syntax) and support for indentation
(:help filetype-indent-on). When you start to override these files for
yourself, it can sometimes be confusing, which file sets a specific option.
The following function can be used, to edit the configuration files which
are associated with a specific filename. It open a buffer for all files which
get loaded. If I invoke it with ':call Edit_ft_conf("test.c")', for example,
I end up with the following buffers / windows:
1 a "[No File]" line 1 2 a "test.c"
line 1 3 a= "/usr/local/share/vim/vim60/syntax/c.vim"
line 1 4 a "~/.vim/after/syntax/c.vim" line 1 5 #a=

The following map and function calculates equations using the program 'bc'
(found on most linux systems, available for most systems). Visually select the
equation you want to calculate, then hit ;bc - if the selection ends with an
'=' sign, the answer will be appended after the equal, otherwise, the answer
is echoed as a message. The code to put in a vimrc and source is at the end.
Equations can span multiple lines, and the full bc syntax is probably
supported. Additionally, sin (), cos (), etc, are transformed into the
names used by bc (s () c (), etc).
Here are some example lines:
2 * sqrt (2) =
3 * (2 - 1) + 4.0 ^ 6 =
4 / 3 =
3 +
4 -
2 * (1 / (3 + 2)) =
define rad (x) {
return (x / 180) * 4 * atan (1)
} cos (rad (45)) =
Select each of these in turn (continguous non-blank lines, and hit ;bc for
each), and this is what you get: 2 * sqrt (2) = 2.82842712474619009760
3 * (2 - 1) + 4.0 ^ 6 = 4099.000000
4 / 3 = 1.33333333333333333333
3 +
4 -
2 * (1 / (3 + 2)) = 6.60000000000000000000
define rad (x) {
return (x / 180) * 4 * atan (1)
} cos (rad (45)) = .70710678118654752440
Fun, no? Here is the code you need to put in your vimrc file:
vnoremap ;bc "ey:call CalcBC()<CR> function! CalcBC()
let has_equal = 0
" remove newlines and trailing spaces let @e = substitute (@e, "\n",
"", "g") let @e = substitute (@e, '\s*$', "", "g")
" if we end with an equal, strip, and remember for output if @e =~ "=$"

For some scripts it might be useful to detect, whether a specific position
in a buffer is inside of a comment or not. Syntax highlighting can save us
the work for parsing the comments ourselves.
The command
:echo synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."), col("."), 0)), "name")
echoes the group used for *highlighting* the character at the current
cursor position, see ':help synIDtrans()'. It will usually be "Comment"
if the cursor is inside of a comment, so
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."), col("."), 0)), "name") == "Comment"
detects, independent of the filetype (which have their own group 'names'
for comments), if the cursor is inside a comment or not. The expression
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."), col("."), 0)), "name") =~
'Comment\|Constant\|PreProc'
will detect additionally, if the cursor is inside of a string or some

Following the normal steps of running "./configure" and "make" to build vim
on an HP-UX 10.20 will result in vim being linked with the termlib library.
This library does not support certain termcap capability codes, such as the
"Co" code used to query the number of colors supported by the terminal.
Consequently, vim will not display colors when used with a color terminal
such as a color xterm.
One solution to this is to run the configure script with the
"--with-tlib=curses" option, like this:
./configure --with-tlib=curses
This will cause vim to be linked with the HP-UX curses library, which does
support the color termcap capability codes.
Note that the xterm that comes standard with HP-UX 10.20 does not display color
character attributes. To see colors when running vim in a terminal window,
you will also need to install a color terminal emulator such as a recent xterm.

<html><center>vim can interact with xdvi</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=225">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=225</A><BR>
vim can interact with the tricks that the latest xdvi does:
* If one clicks at some place in xdvi, vim automatically jumps to the
corresponding line in the LaTeX source file ("reverse search")
* Also, from inside vim, one can jump to the corresponding line in xdvi
which becomes highlighted ("forward search").
Here is how to do it:
* Reverse search:
We start a vim server by: vim --servername xdvi We start xdvi(k) on
file.dvi by:
xdvik -editor "vim --servername xdvi --remote +%l %f" file.dvi
At the desired location in xdvi, we press: <ctrl><left_mouse>
Then, vim will jump to the corresponding line in the source file.
* Forward search:
Inside vim, we type, for example, _g which is the following mapping:
(the following should be a single line)
map _g :execute "!xdvik -name xdvi -sourceposition "
. line(".") . expand("%") . " " . expand("%:r") . ".dvi"
<cr><cr>
[the command to go to the point of xdvi that corresponds to line, eg, 77
of the source file is (no space after 77)
xdvik -name xdvi -sourceposition 77file.tex file.dvi ]
For the above to work one needs: 1) A recent version of xdvi or xdvik
(>22.39 I think) 2) The package srcltx.sty and \usepackage{srcltx}
(which should be
commented out when one finishes and is ready for printing etc).
3) Our version of vim should have been compiled with +clientserver
(however, my vim doesn't have it and still works, so try it before
Bram finds out what is happening and fixes it)

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=227">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=227</A><BR>
:g is something very old and which is very powerful. I just wanted to
illustrate the use of it with some examples. Hope, it will be useful for
someone.
Brief explanation for ":g" ------------------------- Syntax is:
:[range]:g/<pattern>/[cmd]
You can think the working as, for the range (default whole file), execute
the colon command(ex) "cmd" for the lines matching <pattern>. Also,
for all lines that matched the pattern, "." is set to that particular line
(for certain commands if line is not specified "." (current line) is assumed).
Some examples ------------- Display context (5 lines) for all occurences of
a pattern
:g/<pattern>/z#.5 :g/<pattern>/z#.5|echo "==========" <<
same as first, but with some beautification >>
Delete all lines matching a pattern
:g/<pattern>/d
Delete all blank lines (just an example for above)
:g/^\s*$/d
Double space the file
:g/^/pu =\"\n\" :g/^/pu _ << the above one also works >>
Copy all lines matching a pattern to end of file
:g/<pattern>/t$
Yank all lines matching a pattern to register 'a'
0"ay0:g/<pattern>/y A
Increment the number items from current line to end-of-document by one
:.,$g/^\d/exe "normal! \<c-a>"
Comment (C) lines containing "DEBUG" statements
g/^\s*DEBUG/exe "norm! I/* \<Esc>A */\<Esc>"
A Reverse lookup for records (eg: An address book, with Name on start-of-line
and fields after a space)
:g/<patern>?^\w?p "if only name is interested
:g/<patern>/ka|?^\w?p|'ap "if name and the lookup-line
is interested :g/<patern>/?^\w?|+,/^[^ ]/-1p "if entire record
is interested
Reverse a file (just to show the power of 'g')
:g/^/m0
Foot note 1: use :v to negate the search pattern Foot note 2: Some explanation
of commonly used commands with :g
:2,8co15 => Copy lines 2 through 8 after line 15 :4,15t$ => Copy
linesa 4 through 15 towards end of document (t == co)
:-t$ => Copy previous line to end of document
:m0 => Move current line to the top of the document
:.,+3m$-1 => Move current line through cur-line+3 to the last but one line
of the document
Foot note 3: Commands used with :g are ex commands, so a help search should
be,
:help :<help-topic> eg. :help :k

I find the following setting useful when replying to email threads that have
lots of lines like the following: > blah > > blah > > > blah
autocmd FileType mail map <F8> :%g/^> >/d<CR>
When replying to a mail and you want to remove everything except what the
person you are directly replying to wrote just press F8. From the example
above, you would just be left with > blah
What it does is simply match any line starting with > > and deletes it.
It's not perfect as sigs and other debris may remain but it takes a lot
of the grunt work out of replying to mails. The autocmd only maps F8 when
using mails, this is handy if you use F8 for other things as I do.

I've seen several questions asked in the reflector which is available in the
help files. Yeah, I know the help is huge. But, you can try this command
to show a list of related topics you are trying:
:he <topic><c-d>
It is "some topic" followed by the key sequence Ctrl-D. For eg:
:he xterm<c-d>
will show all the help topics matching xterm. Then you can do
completion/copy-n-paste the topic you are searching. Of course you can cycle
through all the topics through repeated <TABS>, but if the number of
hits are huge, it is cumbersome.

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=231">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=231</A><BR>
i frequently like to edit multiple files in the same vim session. however,
if i come into vim from another window i frequently hit 'i' and start typing
in whatever buffer is currently being used -- this is often the wrong one
(requires <esc>, undo, go the other buffer and . to redo).
one way to work around this for me is to use a different color scheme
depending on what file i'm working on:
au BufEnter * if (exists("b:colors_name")) | let b:current_colors=colors_name
| execute "colorscheme " . b:colors_name | endif
au BufLeave * if (exists("b:current_colors")) | execute "colorscheme "
. b:current_colors | endif
if you define b:colors_name with a particular color scheme name, then the
above autocommands will switch to that colorscheme when you enter that window
and will return to the original color upon departure.
inside ftplugin/java.vim, for example, i might have b:colors_name set to
'morning', causing all java files to have a distinguishing color scheme.

When the screen has scrolled such as during a search, it may be difficult to
find the cursor. :help %# explains the pattern one can use to highlight the
word around the cursor, which gives a bigger target to look for on the screen.
I have this in my .vimrc:
function VIMRCWhere()
if !exists("s:highlightcursor")
match Todo /\k*\%#\k*/ let s:highlightcursor=1
else
match None unlet s:highlightcursor
endif
endfunction map <C-K> :call VIMRCWhere()<CR>
This means that in "normal" mode ctrl-k will toggle the highlight. Todo is
a hightlight group whch is particularly easy to see. For further information

You can make Vim scroll the text using the shifted up/down arrows, sort
of like your browser (except with shifted keys :), by mapping Shift-Up to
Ctrl-Y and Shift-Down to Ctrl-E.
map <s-Down> <C-E> map <s-Up> <C-Y>
Shift-Down will then scroll down (like moving a scroll-bar down, or like
moving a cursor at the bottom of a window down), and Shift-Up will then
scroll up (like moving a scroll-bar up, etc).
If you'd rather think about the text moving down/up instead of the cursor
moving up/down, you can of course swap the mappings.
If you normally use j and k for cursor movement, and rarely use the arrow
keys, you can map the arrow keys directly, in which case I'd probably map
the shifted arrow keys back to cursor movement:
map <down> <c-e> map <up> <c-y> map <s-down>
j map <s-up> k
See :help ctrl-e, :help ctrl-y, and :help key-mapping.
See also :help i_ctrl-o and :help map-modes for how to set up these mappings
for use in other modes (like insert mode :).
(Vim by default maps s-Down and s-Up to Ctrl-F and Ctrl-B, for both normal and
visual mode. Keep this in mind if you change some of the above mappings to
"nmap", 'cause you'll probably also want to look in to "vmap".)

I wanted to start using folding without having to get used to seeing the

They both accomplish the same thing, but with different methods, so simply pick
one and see those annoying (at least to me) markers fade away. I just tried
it out with vim files, but you can easily modify it for any other filetypes.
Thanks to Colin's lead with ':help c-syntax' for the 1st au. Thanks to
Benji's lead with ':help containedin' for the 2nd au. Understanding most
of the syntax.txt document file would also be helpful.
To figure out what highlighting group the Marker is in, I would suggest
using Chip's vimtip#99.

For example,
an option might be set in the system vimrc file, in a personal vimrc file,
in a plugin (global or local), or interactively. Vim will tell you where

enc=utf-8) can be entered with a Ctrl-K prefix - any utf character at

Unicode can be used to create html "body text", at least for Netscape 6 and
probably for IE; but on my machine it doesn't display properly as "title text"
(i.e., between <title></title> tags in the <head> part).
Gvim will display it properly if you have the fonts for it, provided that
you set 'guifont' to some fixed-width font which has the glyphs you want
to use (Courier New is OK for French, German, Greek, Russian and more,
but I'm not sure about Hebrew or Arabic; its glyphs are of a more "fixed"
width than those of, e.g. Lucida Console: the latter can be annoying if you
need bold Cyrillic writing).

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=246">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=246</A><BR>
1. Where to look for help ------------------------- :h utf8 :h encoding-values
:h 'enc' :h 'fenc' :h 'fencs' :h 'tenc' :h 'bomb' :h 'guifont' :h ga :h g8
:h :dig :h i_Ctrl-V_digit :h has()
2. What to do (These are *examples*. Modify them to suit your work
environment.) ------------- if has("multi_byte")
set encoding=utf-8 setglobal fileencoding=utf-8
set bomb set termencoding=iso-8859-15 set
fileencodings=ucs-bom,iso-8859-15,iso-8859-3,utf-8
else
echoerr "Sorry, this version of (g)vim was not compiled with +multi_byte"
endif
3. What the above does ---------------------- * has("multi_byte") checks if
you have the right options compiled-in. If you haven't got what it takes,
it's no use trying to use Unicode.
* 'encoding' sets how vim shall represent characters internally. Utf-8 is
necessary for most flavors of Unicode.
* 'fileencoding' sets the encoding for a particular file (local to buffer);
:setglobal sets the default value. An empty value can also be used: it defaults
to same as 'encoding'. Or you may want to set one of the ucs encodings, It
might make the same disk file bigger or smaller depending on your particular
mix of characters. Also, IIUC, utf-8 is always big-endian (high bit first)
while ucs can be big-endian or little-endian, so if you use it, you will
probably need to set 'bomb" (see below).
* 'bomb' (boolean): if set, vim will put a "byte order mark" at the start
of ucs files. This option is irrelevant for most non-ucs files (utf-8,
iso-8859, etc.)
* 'termencoding' defines how your keyboard encodes what you type. The value
you put there will depend on your locale: iso-8859-15 is Latin1 + Euro currency
sign, but you may want something else for, say, an Eastern European keyboard.
* 'fileencodings' defines the heuristic to set 'fileencoding' (local to buffer)
when reading an existing file. The first one that matches will be used (and,
IIUC, if there is no match, Vim falls back on Latin1). Ucs-bom is "ucs with
byte-order-mark"; it must not come after utf-8 if you want it to be used.
4. Additional remarks --------------------- * In "replace" mode, one utf
character (one or more data bytes) replaces one utf character (which need
not use the same number of bytes)
* In "normal" mode, ga shows the character under the cursor as text, decimal,
octal and hex; g8 shows which byte(s) is/are used to represent it.
* In "insert" or "replace" mode,
- any character defined on your keyboard can be entered the usual way
(even with dead keys if you have them, e.g. French circumflex, German
umlaut, etc.); - any character which has a "digraph" (there are a huge lot
of them, see :dig after setting enc=utf-8) can be entered with a Ctrl-K
prefix; - any utf character at all can be entered with a Ctrl-V prefix,
either <Ctrl-V> u aaaa or <Ctrl-V> U bbbbbbbb, with 0 <=
aaaa <= FFFF, or 0 <= bbbbbbbb <= 7FFFFFFF.
* Unicode can be used to create html "body text", at least for Netscape 6 and
probably for IE; but on my machine it doesn't display properly as "title text"

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=247">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=247</A><BR>
Using tabs as elementary unit in your code indentation has two advantages:
first, you may modify 'tabstop' and immediately all the indentations depths
are modified according to it; second, your file will be smaller.
But how can we change some already-written code in order to convert spaces
to tabs. Very simple! Suppose your old code has an indentation unit of
2 spaces :ret! 2 :x will replace every 2-spaces to one tab, independently
from your current tabstop value, and will save the modified file. Then,
if you open again the file with tabstop=2, the file will look as before but
it will be smaller. If you open the file with tabstop=4, the code vill have
a more indented look, and so on...
Cheers!

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=248">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=248</A><BR>
I have no idea if this was implemented in vim 5.3 or not, but you can
definitely do the following kludge in 6.x by using CursorHold and
localtime:
- When you start reading a file, set a buffer variable to the current
time:
au BufRead,BufNewFile * let b:start_time=localtime()
- Set a CursorHold event to check to see if enough time has elapsed
since the last save and save if not:
au CursorHold * call UpdateFile()
- Define a function to save the file if needed:
" only write if needed and update the start time after the save
function! UpdateFile()
if ((localtime() - b:start_time) >= 60)
update let b:start_time=localtime()
else
echo "Only " . (localtime() - b:start_time) . " seconds have elapsed
so far."
endif
endfunction
- Reset the start time explicitly after each save.
au BufWritePre * let b:start_time=localtime()
Obviously, you should get rid of the else portion once you're certain
that this does indeed do what you wanted.
The thing to note is that the CursorHold will only fire after
'updatetime' milliseconds of inactivity have elapsed. So, if you type
rapidly for one and a half minutes non-stop, it won't actually save
anything until you STOP activity long enough. This may be what you want
anyway because it won't interrupt your activity with a forced save.
The actual save-delay can be changed from '60' to another number (in seconds)
or a variable or anything like that. This entire functionality can be easily
wrapped inside a nice script which enables/disables this on a per-buffer basis
(maybe with maps etc.). If desired, I can provide that also.

One of my favorite macros that I use in vim (and vi) inserts a #if 0 #endif
sandwich around a block of code. I always map this to the 2 key sequence ;'
which is the semi-colon followed by the single quote. Look at your keyboard,
you will notice these keys are adjacent to one another. I like this mapping
because it's very fast, my fingers easily roll from one key to the next,
obviously YMMV.
To use this mapping, go to the line of code that you want the '#if 0' to be

'|' as you may well be aware is the goto column motion, and that "75|"
will place your cursor on column 75 of the current line.
That in itself is pretty handy at times, but some true power arises when
used in conjuction with visual mode and replace. Or you could just say a
sneaky trick :)
v75|r- will repace from the cursor to the end of line with '-' *breakdown*
v to turn on visual mode 75 for the count | *bar* to goto column r to enter
repace - to specify the char to replace.
A handy and quick way to make a noticable section of your code (or whatever).

This code fragment is suitable to drop into DrChip's CStubs.
After much searching I was unable to find a tip nor script
number to referance, I believe where I found Dr. Chip's CStubs originally : <A
HREF="http://users.erols.com/astronaut/vim/vimscript/drcstubs.vim">http://users.erols.com/astronaut/vim/vimscript/drcstubs.vim</A><BR>
Thank you Dr. Chip! (=
If you have ever wanted to match parts of a word you may have considered
something like: if wrd == "re" || wrd == "ret" || wrd == "retu" || wrd ==
"retur"
"do something
Althought the above works well enough it is a pain to maintain and add new
words (not to mention its just a touch messy ;) )
A more elegant (and easier to use I believe) method would be to use \%[]
as part of a pattern.
For instance, "\\<re\\%[tur]\\>" will match "re", "ret", "retu" or
"retur"
*breakdown* \\< = start of word re = first letters of word we want to
require to match \\%[tur] = optionally match chars bewteen the braces,
i.e. 't', 'tu' or 'tur' \\> = end of word
So, we can use this as a pattern for match like so (In DrChip's CStubs)
elseif match(wrd, "\\<re\\%[tur]\\>") > -1
exe "norm! bdWireturn\<Esc>"
Which, I think, is a little better than the longer alternative: " vs elseif
wrd == "re" || wrd == "ret" || wrd == "retu" || wrd == "retur"
exe "norm! bdWireturn\<Esc>"

I've started working with tomcat and many many .jsp files. I find this
trick to be very helpful.
find -name '*.jsp' -printf '%f\t%P\t1\n' |sort > jsp.tags
This will create a file called jsp.tags with tag entries for each .jsp file.
Within Vim I use
:set tags+=jsp.tags
Now I can to simple :tag file.jsp to quickly switch b/w the many, many
.jsp files.
One important note. The utility sort will use the value of LC_COLLATE to sort
according to your locale. This will give Vim issues. So try "LC_COLLATE=C
sort" instead of plain "sort"

ever wondered how long the current word is? this can be quite useful when

nmap <C-_> :echo 'word' expand("<cword>") ' wordlen ='
strlen(expand("<cword>"))<CR>
and it will tell you the word under the cursor, and how long it is.
and for things that arent words, this addition to your .vimrc works on
sections of a line that have been hightligted in visual mode
vmap <C-_> "-y:echo 'word' @- ' wordlen =' strlen(@-)<CR>
again you see the "word", and its length this may also work on vim 5.x,

Change good or bad usually encounters interia from people in excepting it.
gvim 6.0 is the first version that introduced the icons shortcut in shape
of a toolbar under the menu. when we upgraded to the new and improved vim
6.1 from vim 5.7 some of people in our company encountered some problems
with their syntax highlighting and some of them objected on the new toolbar
which displayed icons for some common tasks for people more used to GUI.
I finally figured out how to remove this new feature since I also didn't
see much use for it
Here is for all those who haven't figured it out yet
In your .gvimrc include the following two lines
unmenu ToolBar unmenu! ToolBar
Doing this from an open gvim does not remove them but grays them out but
doing from gvimrc does the job
I was also trying to remove the menus at the top and almost succeeded with
a similar technique but somehow the Buffer menu item stays there no matter
what. IMHO it is a bug but it could very well be a feature ;)
I tried this
unmenu * unmenu! *
even added this line after the above two but didn't help unmenu Buffers

This tip shows how to color the active line, the line in which the cursor
is, for better reading. You should try possibility 2 before 1, IMHO it is
mostly usable.
possibility 1:
:au! CursorHold * let @/ = '\%' . line('.') . 'l.*' :set ut=500
explanation:
After 500 ms of waiting for you to hit a key, vim sets the search
register to a pattern that matches the current line.
problem:
Register / holds the search pattern, so you cannot have color the active
line and search. Therefore another solution:
possibility 2:
:highlight CurrentLine guibg=darkgrey guifg=white (or whatever
colors you want) :au! Cursorhold * exe 'match CurrentLine /\%'
. line('.') . 'l.*/' :set ut=100
explanation:
This solution uses 'match' to highlight a string, it does not interface
with the current search pattern.
addition:
Turning the highlighning off:
:au! Cursorhold :match none
The order of these commands are important. If :match none is executed
first, the autocommand would almost immediately execute another match
command.

Put this in your .vimrc:
function! Percent()
let byte = line2byte( line( "." ) ) + col( "." ) - 1 let size = (line2byte(
line( "$" ) + 1 ) - 1) " return byte . " " . size . " " . (byte * 100)
/ size return (byte * 100) / size
endfunction
(Uncomment the first return to see intermediate values.)
And put this somewhere in your "set statusline=...":
%{Percent()}%%
See "help statusline", "help eval".

is "out of sync", seems to correct itself with refresh ??</center> <pre> <A

This one has come across the 'vim' users mailing list many times, and probably
comp.editors as well...
Summary: see :help :syn-sync and search for 'sync' in your favorite syntax
file in $VIMRUNTIME/syntax
Long Version: The syntax highlight code utilizes a certain synchronization
method to efficiently figure out syntax highlighting, specifically if you
aren't at the very beginning or end of a file. The specific setting is 'syntax
sync'. For various file types the method is set by default in this is setup
in the syntax file and one can vary the degree of trouble which VIM goes to to
try and figure this out. As an example for C, from $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/c.vim:
if exists("c_minlines")
let b:c_minlines = c_minlines
else
if !exists("c_no_if0")
let b:c_minlines = 50 " #if 0 constructs can be long
else
let b:c_minlines = 15 " mostly for () constructs
endif
endif exec "syn sync ccomment cComment minlines=" . b:c_minlines
Where c_minlines is the minimum number of lines that VIM goes backward to try
to find the start of a comment for syntax highlighting. If that line which
starts a comment is outside of that range, highlighting will appear wrong.
You can easily set up something like this in your .vimrc: let c_minlines=500
or even bigger, but realize that it is a performance trade-off and that
syntax highlighting will slow things down.

Using Insert mode to insert a single character feels clumsy (you need 3

:nmap <space> i_<esc>r
Now, when in Normal mode, just press space followed by what it is you want

Something that I do quite alot is comment out blocks of text, only to uncomment
that same block later. The following mappings have proven useful to me. They
can be applied using visually selected blocks, or with motion keys.
" lhs comments map ,# :s/^/#/<CR> map ,/ :s/^/\/\//<CR> map ,>
:s/^/> /<CR> map ," :s/^/\"/<CR> map ,% :s/^/%/<CR>

\(\*[/)]\\|-->\)$/\2/<CR>
The commands to comment a selection of text are as follows, begining with
begining-of-line comments:
,# shell, perl, etc ,/ c++ ,> email quote ," vim ,%
latex, prolog ,! assembly?... add single ! ,; scheme ,-
don't remember this one... add -- ,c clears any of the previous

In times past I used a nice editor that had the neat feature of automatically
setting pasted text to the proper indent level. Recently I've begun to miss
this so I went looking in the help and camp up with....
=`]
which will format to the end of the pasted text... Perfect to call right
after you past something as the cursor ends up at the top of the pasted text,
thus the mapping:
:map <c-p> =`]
" by the by the above may should be nmap and I am pretty sure c-p is unused,
your mileage will vary no doubt.
However I wanted the formatting to automatically be done so it was two simple
(once I figured out how!) nnoremap:
" [Feral:185/02@14:27] map c-p to what p was (past with no formatting), map
p to p and = to end of pasted text. :nnoremap p p=`] :nnoremap <c-p> p
This simply (as the comment hints at) maps normal mode p to what p did (paste)
then = to `] (last character in the previously changed text). While ctrl+p
just does what p did. (just in case you find you don't want a bit of text
auto formatted.).
reference: :h :nnoremap :h p :h = :h `]
Whatever the name of this idea is, tis something I find handy :)

fixing of email quotations (too long lines)</center> <pre> <A

When using VIM as your editor of choice, even for email processing - as I
do - it is often unpleasing how some MUA's quote the email body produced by
mailers such as Outlook. The lines often span across multiple visual lines
and its difficult to reply on certain parts of it.
With VIM, you can quickly fix those quotations to maintain a proper 75 char
break. For example, when using Mutt, put this line in your .muttrc, or use
a custom .vimrc_mail for it:
set editor="vim -c 'set fo=tcrq' -c 'set tw=76'"
For other MUA's this has to be fitted. However, now, when your quoted email
is displayed, you can use this VIM sequence to fix it:
1. move cursor to first line of broken paragraph 2. press 'V' and move to the
last line of the paragraph you want to fix 3. press 'g' and then 'q'. The
marked text will wrap around to your specified textwidth (76 in our case)
and the quotations will be preserved across the lines

One of the principles of effective text editing is moving around very
efficiently. Following are some pointers which may help u do that.
h move one character left j move one row down
k move one row up l move one char. right. w move
to begining of next word b move to begining of previous word
e move to end of word W move to begining of next word after a
whitespace B move to begining of pervious word before a whitespace
E move to end of word before a whitespace.
(All the above movements can be preceeded by a numeric value . i.e '4j'
will move 4 rows down )
^ move to first non blank char of the line. g_ move to last non
blank char of the line. 0 moev to begining of line $ move
to end of line. gg move to first line. G move to last line.
nG move to "n"th line. H top of screen.
M middle of screen
L bottom of screen
Ctrl-D move half page down Ctrl-U move half page up. Ctrl-B page-up
Ctrl-F page down.
Ctrl-o last cursor position. '[a-z,0-9,A-Z] jump to the marker. (u
can set a marker on line by :- m[a-zA-Z,0-9] and then jump back to
it by '[a-z,A-Z0-9]
n next matching search pattern N previous matching search pattern *
next word under cursor
# previous word under cursor. g* next matching search pattern

the default action for double-click with "unknown file types"</center> <pre> <A

I find myself installing the following registry modification for all my
PC's now (even other people's PC's). It applies to Microsoft Windows
machines only. The following is also for Windows 9x... NT or XP or 2000
may require modifications (which I don't care to understand!).
The problem: You double-click on a file that doesn't have a 'registered type'
and that pesky "What program should I use?" dialog pops up. Even worse,
depending on the installation, the GVim icon may not be listed, and one has
to browse to the executable... and then the type becomes forever bonded
to being editted with GVim (if that box is checked). The standard Vim 6.1
installation does include a "right click to edit" menu item for all files,
but a double-click is so much faster!
The solution: What if unregistered types would just automatically open up
in GVim? Well, they can.. with a little registry trickery.
How to Install it:
Step 1. Create a text file called "vimalways.reg" and paste the below text
into it.
Step 2. Important NOTE: You will have to edit the pathname to correspond
to the pathname of your GVim.exe. The text below works fine for a GVim 6.1
default installation.
Step 3: Save the file.
Step 4: Right-click on the file and select "install". Then you are done!
------ vimalways.reg ------- cut here ------snip---snip--- REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Open with &GVim] @="Open
with &GVim"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Open with &GVim\command]
@="\"C:\\vim\\vim61\\gvim.exe\" \"%1\""
----end of file---- cut here----- snip---snip----
Note 1. This can't be de-installed automatically, and if you want to remove
it, you'll have to edit the registry by hand (annoying, but easy).
Note 2. Keep this file around, so when you upgrade your GVim, all you have
to do is modify the pathname (to say, for example, vim62) and then install
it again.
Ok, thanks for playing! And thanks to the author(s) of Vim and GVim.
If it weren't for them, I'd still be using elvis or stevie!

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=280">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=280</A><BR>
Vim has a wonderful ability to integrate with external tools, like compilers,
make, ctags etc. That's one of the reasons we love it.
PyUnit can be seen as a "compiler" for the Python test code. To understand
it, Vim should be told about the language the PyUnit speaks. This could be
done with 'errorformat' option:
setlocal efm=%C\ %.%#,%A\ \ File\ \"%f\"\\,\ line\ %l%.%#,%Z%[%^\ ]%\\@=%m
This magic spell enables Vim to parse unittest.TextRunner's output and to
enter quick-fix mode. To run all your unit tests at once you'll need to setup
'makeprg' option and provide a runner. I'm using this setup:
setlocal makeprg=./alltests.py
And contents of the alltests.py (for the sake of completeness):
#!/usr/bin/env python2
import unittest import sys sys.path.append('unittests')
modules_to_test = (
'fooTest', 'barTest', 'bazTest',
)
def suite():
alltests = unittest.TestSuite() for module in map(__import__,
modules_to_test):
alltests.addTest(unittest.findTestCases(module))
return alltests
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main(defaultTest='suite')
============== end of the alltests.py file ========================
While talking about it, I'd also suggest to add a couple of mappings.
In the end, my vim/files/ftplugin/python.vim looks like this:
setlocal makeprg=./alltests.py\ -q setlocal efm=%C\ %.%#,%A\ \ File\ \"%f\"\\,\
line\ %l%.%#,%Z%[%^\ ]%\\@=%m iabbr <buffer> sae self.assertEquals
iabbr <buffer> sar self.assertRaises

Well, I've tried to understand some of the folding scripts, but life's too
short. Instead, I added the following lines to my vimrc file.
set
foldexpr=(getline(v:lnum)=~@/)?0:(getline(v:lnum-1)=~@/)\|\|(getline(v:lnum+1)=~@/)?1:2
map \z :set foldmethod=expr foldlevel=0 foldcolumn=2<CR>
The first line is an extension of foldexpr=(getline(v:lnum)=~@/)?0:1 The
second line (re)sets the foldmethod to expr(ession) plus.
First search for /regexp/, then fold everything else with \z Use zr to reveal
more context (before/after) lines.
You could add (getline(v:lnum-2)=~@/)\|\|(getline(v:lnum+2)=~@/)?2:3 but it

Vim (any vi really) is a dream for touch typists... Until you want to switch
from insert mode to normal mode. Then you've got to reach way up to whack
the escape key.
Or at least that's what I was doing until I realized that (drum roll please)
Esc is exactly equivalent to control-[ (that's the
control key plus the left square bracket key)
That little bit of knowledge, plus mapping my caps lock to another control
key, was what turned my fascination with Vim into true love. You never have
to lose track of the home row again!
For Xfree86 users - you can make the capslock key another control key by adding
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
to the InputDevice section of your XF86Config file.
For Windows NT/2000 users - use the following .reg file to do the same thing:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1d,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00

to generate Java setters and getters automatically</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=288">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=288</A><BR>
This mapping makes it much simpler to write new java classes by simplifying
some of the dull repetative coding (ie setters and getters).
To use, first write a basic class with the following format:
public class MyClass {
private <type> <varname> = <initvalue>; private
<type> <varname> = initvalue>;
// getters
// setters
}
Note the getters/setters comment -- they are important as they are used to
place the getters and setters.
The mapping is:
map jgs mawv/ <Enter>"ty/
<Enter>wvwh"ny/getters<Enter>$a<Enter><Enter>public
<Esc>"tpa<Esc>"npbiget<Esc>l~ea()<Enter>{<Enter><Tab>return
<Esc>"npa;<Enter>}<Esc>=<Enter><Esc>/setters<Enter>$a<Enter><Enter>public
void <Esc>"npbiset<Esc>l~ea(<Esc>"tpa
<Esc>"npa)<Enter>{<Enter><Tab>this.<Esc>"npa=<Esc>"npa;<Enter>}<Esc>=<Enter>`ak
(the above should be one long line with no spaces between the end of the
lines above).
To use this to generate a class go to the variable that should have a
setter/getter and place the curser at the beginning of the 'private':
private <type> <variable> = <initvalue>' ^
Then type:
jgs
this will create the first getter/setter and then move up to the next
variable. You can just keep typing jgs until all the getters/setters have
been generated.
This should mapping isn't perfect and someone could probably make it a little
cleaner. It could also relatively easily be adapted to C++. Please feel free
to send me any feedback/enhancements as I am trying to compile a list of these.

<escape> that allows you to do a "quick and dirty
insert" and get out into normal mode</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=289">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=289</A><BR>
This is an alternative key combo for the escape key from the one mentioned
by David A. Rogers in vimtip #285.
I do a lot of editting in Vim, and I've always found myself in situations where
I had to "do a quick insert" - basically (from normal mode), change into insert
mode, type in one quick word, then <esc> out, then navigate elsewhere.
As has been rightly observed by a lot of people, the <esc> key can
sometimes be a little bit out of the way. But that's no problem for ViM, is it?
At first, I thought of editting the ViM source code itself, in order to come
up with a command that could do things like say "let me jump into insert
mode, type a few quick words, then escape out into normal mode when i press
something like double <space>".
It was only later when reading through the section in
Jesse Goerz's "Beginner's Guide to ViM" on remapping (<A
HREF="http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/vim/mapping-vim.html)
that I got inspired to retake a look at using remapping as an alternative
instead.">http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/vim/mapping-vim.html)
that I got inspired to retake a look at using remapping as an alternative
instead.</A><BR>
This is what I came up with.. Use whatever is comfortable for you - single
or double <Shift-space>
:map! <S-space> <esc> :map! <S-space><S-space>
<esc>
With this quick combo ("Shift", + <space>), one can easily (and might
I add, intuitively) "do a quick insert" and exit quickly out into normal
mode. I guess I always thought the <space> would be a good way to
do this sort of thing, since it is after all, so intuitive in the typing
process. So why not make it such that it can "escape" you out into normal
mode as well? Just type 'i', to go into insert mode, type in your stuff,
and once you're done, hit Shift-space!

In addition to vimtip #291 you can use whole <C-x> completion mode. It
can complete whole lines (<C-x>l, then <C-p>, <C-n>),
filenames (<C-f>), keywords, words from custom dictionary and many,
many others. During coding it usually saves a LOT of key strokes ;) This
mode has many other powerful features, for example when completing word (by
<C-x><C-p> or just by <C-p>) you can continue completion
with another <C-x><C-p>. For example, after writing such text:
this is first line second line is here
Placing cursor at third line and pressing <C-x>l will double last
line - <C-n>, <C-p> in this moment can be used to manipulate
completed line. Or, instead of completing whole line you can press 'f' and
then complete by <C-p> which will result in 'first' word. After that
you can <C-x><C-p> to get 'line' word (since this is next word
after 'first'). Try yourself for other powerful combinations.

This is very simple, but most people don't seem to take advantage of
this. Often you have some file (source code or other text file) already open
in an existing vim session and you need to attach it with an email. It is
very simple.
- First copy the filename into clipboard. For this I put the following
mapping in vimrc and press <F2>:
nnoremap <F2> :let @*=expand("%:p")<cr>
- Go to your email compose window and use your regular file attachment
menu (Insert->File in outlook) and press ^V (or whatever key to paste
clipboard) and press Enter.
That is all there to it. If you are on windows and your email client doesn't
accept forward-slashes, then you might want to change the map to:
nnoremap <F2> :let @*=substitute(expand("%:p"), "/", "\\",
"g")<cr>

There are two parts to this, each is fairly simple.
First, I want to start in insert mode. Well "set im!" in my vimrc did the
job, but I lost the escape key. Second, I have found that often times,
when I'm in command mode, I hit escape trying to get back into insert mode.
I am always rewarded with a beep, telling me once again I made that mistake.
So I mapped esc in command mode to set insert mode (":set im") and I mapped
esc in insert mode to unset insert mode (<c-o>:set im) Well then I
realized if you hit "i" in command mode, escape woulding work the first time.
So here's the code to add to your vimrc:
set im! " start in insert mode map <esc> :set
im!<cr> " escape in command mode goes to insert mode map
i :set im!<cr> " i in command mode goes to insert mode
map! <esc> <c-o>:set im!<cr> " escape in insert mode goes

I stumbled across this factoid on a website about vi. I haven't been able to
locate it in the Vim documentation, but it works in Vim, and it's very handy.
There are times that you might like to go through a file and change the case
of characters that match some arbitrary criteria. If you understand regular
expressions well, you can actually do this fairly easily.
It's as simple as placing \U or \L in front of any backreferences in your
regular expressions. Vim will make the text in the backreference uppercase
or lowercase (respectively).
(A "backreference" is a part of a regular expression that refers to a previous
part of a regular expression. The most common backrefernces are &, \1, \2,
\3, ... , \9).
Some examples that demonstrate the power of this technique:
Lowercase the entire file - :%s/.*/\L&/g
(& is a handy backreference that refers to the complete text of the match.)
Uppercase all words that are preceded by a < (i.e. opening HTML tag names):
:%s/<\(\w*\)/<\U\1/g
Please add a note if you know where this is in the documentation. I have
done Ctrl-D searches on upper, lower, \U, and \L with no luck.

I have recently began using the tags features of vim (:help tags) with my

in my _vimrc, and something like
function br() { if [ $1 ]; then
explorer.exe ${1//\//\\}
else
explorer.exe ${PWD//\//\\}
fi
}
in my _bashrc. when i finish editing one html file, i simply type :!br %
everything works fine now. but when :!br % executes, one console window will
bump out and wait me to press some key to contiue. i consider this quiet
annoying. i want the console window to disappear automatically if no fault
has happened. does anyone know how to achieve this? thanks.

you get to the next phisical line instead of the next line on the screen,
you can do something like this:

Vim 6 has this cool client-server protocol. I use it all the time to edit
a file in an existing gvim, like so $ gvim --remote [filename]
Today I left myself logged in at the console at work, and when I got home
I realized I had left vim running with files unsaved. I think I even left
it in insert mode. I wanted to edit these files at home. So I ssh'd to the
machine and started playing with the --remote commands.
:help was a bit cryptic
--remote-send {keys} Send {keys} to server and exit.
After a lot of failed attempts, I finally succeeded in getting the remote
vim to save its buffers and quit.
$ DISPLAY=:0 vim --servername GVIM --remote-send '<ESC>:wqa<CR>'
A couple of notable things. Then environment variable DISPLAY has to be the
display of the remote vim, and you have to be able to open that display. The
client-server stuff is done through X.
The <CR> is important. This part eluded me for a long time. The {keys}
are just like keys you would press if you were editing at the console,
and you have to press enter, or vim won't do anything.
Check your .swp files to make sure vim really closed the files it was
editing. Vim provides little feedback as to the success or failure of what
you're trying to do remotely. Nonetheless, it's clearly a useful feature to
have available.

PS: copy, cut, and paste are the words from (usually) gui editor.
Ever try to cut (or copy) some lines and paste to another place? If you
need to count the lines first, then try these to eliminate counting task.
Cut and Paste:
1. Place the cursor at the beginning of the block you want to CUT. 2. Mark
it with md 3. Go to the end of the block. 4. Cut it with d'd 5. Go to the
new location that you want to PASTE those text. 6. Press P.
Copy and Paste:
1. Place the cursor at the beginning of the block you want to COPY. 2. Mark
it with my 3. Go to the end of the block. 4. Cut it with y'y 5. Go to the
new location that you want to PASTE those text. 6. Press P.
The name of the mark used is related to the operation (d:delete or y:yank).
I found that those mark names requires minimal movement of my finger. ;)

/pattern/ search in a script</center> <pre> <A
HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=316">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=316</A><BR>
There are a number of ways you can search for a pattern in a script.
The search function is the typical way to search for a pattern. But, it
has limited options. In particular, there are no options to control the
position of the cursor after it matches the pattern.
Instead you can use :normal command. The secret is to add a <CR>
(^M) on the end of the command. For example, to search for "pattern"
and move the cursor to the end of the matching pattern issue the command:
:normal /pattern/e+1^M
where ^M is a real carriage return. It can be entered with
<c-v><c-m>.
Another use is when you want to enter a bunch of normal commands together.
For example, if you were looking to find a '{' to highlight and delete
a C block. The '{' may not be on the same line so you can't use the "f"
normal command.
:normal V/{/^M%d
A drawback to using the normal command is that if the pattern does not
match then it is difficult to detect. Also, you can get in trouble with
the wrapscan setting.
For more information about these commands look at
:help / :help normal :help search()

If you use VIM you like the h, j, k, and l movement keys. I found myself
annoyed at not having these movement keys available when browsing web pages.
Moving to the arrow keys on a laptop is annoying to just scroll the page.
Locate your mozilla/res/builtin directory (varies by platform). You could
search for htmlBindings.xml to find it. (ie. locate htmlBindings.xml.
On Mac OS X it's inside the Mozilla application bundle.
/Applications/Mozilla/Mozilla.app/Contents/MacOS/res/builtin.
Create a new XML file called userHTMLBindings.xml, making it executable for
all users and making sure the CRLF format is the same as htmlBindings.xml.
i.e. on Mac OS X most files use \r but Vim writes \n instead. You can either
save the file with Vim as a Mac formatted file or use tr '\n' '\r' <
input.xml > output.xml to convert the file.
Place the following XML into the userHTMLBindings.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bindings id="htmlBindings"

This is an extension of vimtip #153 I found this tip useful, but the jump
seemed out of place for me, I couldn't enter just one ' or ", and so I created
an improvement Basically, I set it up so that when you're in perl and have
a non keyword charcter, (except for @, $ and % for perl) and you type a {
you get: {
| <- cursor
} Where as, when I have a keyword I get: word{} With the cursor in the middle,
for hashes in perl. I can jump out of any block, except the "" or '' blocks,
by typing their closing charcter. So } jumps me out past the next } in
the file.
Warning, this search may wrap around.
Finally, I made it so that, using the alt key, <Alt-'> inserts a '
<Alt-/> inserts a " <Alt-[> inserts a [ <Alt-]> inserts a
] <Alt--> inserts a { <Alt-=> inserts a } <Alt-,> inserts
a < <Alt-.> inserts a >

Many scripts/ftplugin provide text or code templates. Sadly none of the
marks the places where you are supposed to "fill in the form". My own code
templates for C/C++ insert a triple percent (%%%) where you are supposed to
enter something. I mapped ;; to find the next %%% and change them. All the
template mappings are insert-mode only, while the "skip to next placeholder"
is both insert and normal mode enabled.
A complete for-loop template for C++ looks like:
:imap <buffer> ;fo <C-O>mzfor( %%%; %%%; %%%)<CR>{ //
%%%<CR>%%%<CR>}<CR><C-O>'z;;
The command to go to the next placeholder is this:
:imap <buffer> ;; <C-O>/%%%<CR><C-O>c3l :nmap
<buffer> ;; /%%%<CR>c3l
Every time I need a for-loop ;fo produces this ( _ is the cursor position)
: for( _; %%% ; %%%) { // %%%
%%%
}
Now I enter starting value (i=0): for( i=0_; %%% ; %%%) { // %%%
%%%
}
and go to the condition using ;; for( i=0; _ ; %%%) { // %%%
%%%
}
and so forth.
The choice of %%% proved to be almost universal, it even works in MATLAB or
LaTeX where % is the comment character.
Even if you forget to replace one %%%, that's not a problem as the compiler
flags is as a syntax error (except MATLAB and LaTeX, of course).
It made my life easier, maybe it works for you.

I'm not sure if there is a simple way to do this from within Vim, but,
I wrote this simple script that does it. It basically searches for files
named NAMED (whatever name pass) for a given string and replaces that with
a given string: find_replace.sh NAMED "string_to_find" "string_to_replace"
This is all done from the command line without opening Vim.
Of course one could do things like:
:let n = 1 :while n <= argc() " loop over all
files in arglist : exe "argument " . n : " start at
the last char in the file and wrap for the : " first
search to find match at start of file : normal G$ :
let flags = "w" : while search("foo", flags) > 0 :
s/foo/bar/g : let flags = "W" : endwhile : update
" write the file if modified : let n = n + 1 :endwhile

If you program in Java and use Jakarta ant for builds *and* if you have the

This tip will result in a working compile/edit/debug system (in Win32 vim/gvim
and in Cygwin vim) that takes you to the exact lines where the build fails,
whether the failure is a compilation error or a junit test failure. If you
use bash on a linux box, you shouldn't have to change very much to get
everything to work.
There are 6 sections: 1. set up your build script 2. set up makeprg 3. set
up shell options 4. set up path formatting options 5. set up your errorformat

mymake: #!/bin/bash cd /work/ ant -emacs $* 2>&1 | tr '\\' / | tr ^M '
' | sed -u -n -f /usr/local/bin/testerrors.sed | tee /tmp/errors
Comment: sed -u is non-standard, use the code at: <A

get">http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-gnu-utils/2002-May/000192.html to
get</A><BR> the -u option for sed (this avoids waiting for the build output
to get to the screen)
testerrors.sed: # This assumes that all your junit test cases are in a com.*
package /^Running com\./ {
# duplicate the line s!\(.*\)!\1\
\1!
P
# turn the test package into a directory path for %D errorformat
s!.*\(com\..*\)\.[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*!\1! s!\.!/!g s!.*!Entering:
/work/src/&!
# print the line and go on p n
}
# just pass any unmatched lines through p
Set up makeprg -------------- Add the following lines to your vimrc:
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead /work/*.java set makeprg=mymake autocmd
BufNewFile,BufRead ?:/work/*.java set makeprg=mymake
Set up shell options -------------------- Add the following lines to your
vimrc:
" in order to have bash as the shell for win32 vi.exe and gvim.exe,
you have " to set these options, and also build vimrun.exe in the cygwin
environment " so that the system() call is executed via bash, not cmd.exe
-- the command " to build vimrun.exe is "make -f Make_cyg.mak vimrun.exe"
set shell=bash.exe set shellcmdflag=-c set shellslash
Also to use this environment in Win32 gvim, you must recompile vimrun so
that gvim invokes the shell via bash, not via cmd.exe.
Set up path formatting options ------------------------------ Add the
following lines to your vimrc:
" allows DOS file names from UNIX (Cygwin) vim set isfname+=\
Set up your errorformat ----------------------- Add the following lines to
your vimrc:
" the "\%DEntering:\ %f," rule relies on a sed script which generates "
"Entering: " messages for each test class run (the directory name is "
generated from the test class package and a hard-coded src root)
" the "%\\C" at the start of the exception matching line tells to match
" case-exact (the exception mathching lines rely on the %D rule that sets
" up the correct directory from the package structure)
" ant/junit/javac errorformat set errorformat=
\%-G%.%#build.xml:%.%#, \%-G%.%#warning:\ %.%#, \%-G%\\C%.%#EXPECTED%.%#,
\%f:%l:\ %#%m, \C:%f:%l:\ %m, \%DEntering:\ %f\ %\\=, \%ECaused\

\%-Z%\\C\ at\ com.mypkg.%.%#.setUp(%f:%l)\ %\\=, \%-Z%\\C\ at\
com.mypkg.%.%#.tearDown(%f:%l)\ %\\=, \%-Z%^\ %#%$, \%-C%.%#, \%-G%.%#
NOTE: Make sure that the character before "at" is an actual Tab character
in the three long -Z lines above
Here is an annotated version:
set errorformat=
" don't treat the build.xml diagnostic as an error
\%-G%.%#build.xml:%.%#,
" don't treat warning lines as errors \%-G%.%#warning:\ %.%#,
" don't treat lines containing "EXPECTED" as errors

" look for this standard error format (with C: on front) \C:%f:%l:\ %m,
" look for special sed-generated "Entering" lines while running tests
\%DEntering:\ %f\ %\\=,
" look for exceptions that were thrown in the tests, use the exception
" description as the error message (don't know how to also include the
" exception name in the error message) \%ECaused\ by:%[%^:]%#:%\\=\

\%Ejunit.%[%^:]%#:%\\=\ %\\=%m,
" using the "Entering" directory and the filename/line number provided

com.mypkg.%.%#.tearDown(%f:%l)\ %\\=,
" empty lines terminate searching for further exception lines \%-Z%^\
%#%$,
" any line can intervene between the start of an exception printout
" and the line where it ends (last in list so that it is matched if
" none of the other exception trace patterns match) \%-C%.%#,
" all other lines are not errors \%-G%.%#
Set up key mappings ------------------- Add the following lines to your vimrc:
nmap <F10> :clist<CR> nmap <F11> :cprev<CR> nmap
<F12> :cnext<CR>
This allows for quick error navigation.
NOTES ----- Vim treats the "Entering: /work/src/..." messages in a weird way.
If there are any actual errors, then these error lines are ignored by the
:cnext and :cprev commands, but if there are no real errors, then :cnext and
:cprev roll through these "Entering:" messages as if they were errors, but
since they don't include any line numbers, the cursor position is never moved.
I thought that this was strange, but even stranger, it is programmed directly
into the vim error handling code to function exactly this way. There were
no comments, and nobody responded on the vim mailing list, so I just decided
to live with it.
The upshot of it all is that if you see an error like "Entering:", chances
are that your build succeeded and all the tests ran without a problem.
Hope this helps...

You can tell MS VFP to use an external editor for editing project files.
To tell MS VFP to use Vim:
start regedit locate [HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\VisualFoxPro
\5.0
\Options]
and create a new item TEDIT with string content "/N
C:\Progra~1\vim\vim61\gvim.exe" (or whatever your path to Vim happens to be.)
This will not replace the internal VFP editor for such things as modifying the
"click method" for a button (unfortunately), but when you modify a program,
VFP will fire up gvim.
Start MS VFP, start Help and look for TEDIT. ;-)

Put the following map into your <.vimrc>:
nmap <silent> gw
"_yiw:s/\(\%#\w\+\)\(\W\+\)\(\w\+\)/\3\2\1/<cr><c-o><c-l>
Then when you put the cursor on or in a word, press "gw", and the word will
be swapped with the next word. The words may even be separated by punctuation
(such as "abc = def").
While we're talking swapping, here's a map for swapping characters:
nmap <silent> gc xph

HREF="http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=330">http://vim.sf.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=330</A><BR>
Since VIM 6.0 the indent has been improved so much. But sometimes when
we are pasting formated text (source code or HTML etc) into a buffer, VIM
indents again so that lines will be padded with too much spaces.
Setting nocindent, noautoindent, nosmartindent still cannot stop this. All you
need to do is "set paste", then paste your stuff, and then "set nopaste" again.

One of the things about vim that are both quite simple yet very
useful is that you can store by-file settings... that is each file can
contain settings specific to it. this thing is called a modline (:help
modline). though this is limited to only the 'set' command arguments, you
can do allot of local to file things like the indent type, folding method
and so on.
the syntax is as follows:
// vim:set ts=4 sw=4 nowrap:
or
/* vim:noai:ts=2:sw=4: */
The modlines can be contained in comments so as to not interfere with
the file syntax (shown here for C/C++). these lines are read by vim when
it loads the file, and they can either be in the first or last 5 lines
(by default).
refer to ':help modline'

a macro to insert footnotes in vim, but it doesn't work as of vim6.0. so i
wrote my own; this macro requires two differents shortcuts, one for entering
the first footnote, the other one for all subsequent footnotes.
when you hit "K0" (first footnote) or "KK" (all other footnotes) in normal
mode, your cursor is positionned at the end of the document, in the footnote &
in insert mode. The "a" bookmark is set to the place where you entered the
footnote in the text. so a "`a" will bring you back to the location of the
footnote in the text.
" for now requires entering K0 for the first footnote and then KK
nmap K0 i[0]<esc>maG$i<end><enter>[0] nmap KK
