I would like to tidy up my Vim color scheme file, by replacing #ABCDEF colors with variables. For example, I would like to replace this: highlight String guifg=#61CE3C highlight Identifier guifg=#61CE3C highlight Type guifg=#84A7C1 with something like this (pseudo-code vimscript): my_string =#61CE3C my_type =#84A7C1 high...
It seems to me that Vim's syntax highlighting for Haskell is broken, or very buggy. Multiline comments in Haskell (beginning with {- and ending with -}) are arbitrarily greened-out and un-greened-out. Sometimes dragging the mouse over the commented code causes it to reverse color. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? ...
I'm reading through a large C++ code base in Vim. Within a single file, I can do /foo n n n Now, if I want to search through more than one file, I have to do: :vimgrep /foo/ :cn :cn :cn Now, typing ":cn" is so much less convenient than "n". Is there a way to search through vimgrep results with "n" (like searches with /) instead of...
Hi there, I am at present writing a syntax file in VIM for the script language I use, which isn't a generic language like c. One of the block syntaxes is the do..loop structure as below: DO blah blah blah LOOP times, label I wonder that if there is a way for me to make the cursor go back and forth around DO and LOOP like in c ...
I have vi bindings working in my bash shell using set -o vi in my .bash_profile. But I can't seem to get them to work in the mysql command line client. I only get emacs style bindings.

When I work with VIM, I always have multiple windows visible. Sometimes I would like to have an easy way, to swap those windows in places. Is there any Plugin, Macro, etc to make this more easy? BTW, I use MiniBufExplorer. ...
Title really says it all. There is the -O option for opening splits vertically, and -o for horizontally, but trying to mix them doesn't seem to work. My goal is to use g/vimdiff for 3-way file merging in mercurial in a way more like kdiff3 does. This method would have the 3 files to be merged split into 3 vertical tabs across the top ...
I'm doing a lot of digging around in log files these days, which usually involves tracking a certain identifier through various places in the log file. If I search for the identifier, then vim highlights all the occurrences, which really helps in the digging, but it disappears if I search for something else. Is there a quick way to get...

When I go to command mode and type :!mycommand % I get my command executed on the current file (% is expanded to the current file name). Is there a similar construct that expands the full file name (with the full path)? I am using windows. Thanks. ...
Hi all, I frequently use Shift+J in visual mode to join several selected lines into a single line with the original lines separated by spaces. But I am wondering if there is an opposite shortcut such that it will split selected words into separate lines (one word per line). Of course I can do: :'<,'>s/ /^M/g But something more succi...

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask this question: I am trying to compile gVim with python 3 support using cygwin under windows: I changed the Make_cyg.mak files Python section to the following: ############################## # DYNAMIC_PYTHON=yes works. # DYNAMIC_PYTHON=no does not (unresolved externals on link). ##############...
I'm putting together a syntax for editing Java Manifest files (at github, if anyone's interested). I'm trying to collapse multiple single-line-comments (which I'm matching at the moment with syntax match manifestComment "#.*"). However, if I try to use a syntax region, then the entire file is marked and the entire thing collapses. What ...
I had thought vim was all powerful until I wanted to get rid of buffers in the list and reuse them for something else. For example, if I have 1 "f1.h" 2 "f2.h" 3 "f3.h" 4 "f1.cpp" 5 "f2.cpp" 6 "f3.cpp" and I want to replace f1.h - f3.h with something else, but in the same buffer sequence: 1 "n1.h" 2 "n2.h" 3 "n3.h" 4 "f1.cpp" 5 "f...
Is there a way of saving the output of the command :map to a file? In a related question, I have the following map in my vimrc file: map <f1> :wa<cr> when I load a latex file (I have the vim-latex plugin installed), the F1 key now invokes help. Is there a way of changing this without manually having to type the map again? Thanks...
In GVim can one change the width of the GUI's tabs (i.e. the tab labels at the top that show guitablabel)? In particular, the tab labels aren't wide for a guitablabel=%f or anything of that length. Thanks ...
I'm using the vim+jslint combo described here, and am having problems figuring out how to use the two together. I'm guessing that the list of errors is supposed to show on the top half and the second half has the actual page? If so, how do I go about doing this? (Caution, I am completely new to the quickfix window, and the documentation ...
Hi I am trying to build a lexical analyzer using flex. Following is a line which shows a regular expression and its corresponding action. [0-9] {printf("yada yada \n");} //regex1 Is there a way to reuse {printf("yada yada \n");} from regex1 by auto-completion features of vim, so that I don't need to write the whole thing again while ...
