Endless loop when "syntax reset" in ~/.vim/after/syntax/syncolor.vim.

Limit init_highlight() to five recursive calls?

patch for Vim 6.3 for free_oldval and init_highlight()?

Add browsedir(): like browse() but for directories.

For GTK it already sort-of works when the default name is empty.

Crash with long line. (Walter Briscoe, Sep 13)

When ":file" sets the alternate file name and it's empty this doesn't make
|

sense. Could skip it, but would that break scripts that rely on the buffer to

Add fix for appending BOM to 6.3? Reported by Alex Jakushev.

Win32 console doesn't compile. Does GetCommandLineW() work for non-GUI?

Ivan Villanueva has something for Java.
|

Can't call it Intellisense, it is a trademark by Microsoft.
|
||||
Ideas from the Vim 7 BOF at SANE:
|
||||
- It's not possible to have one solution for all languages. Design an
|
||||
interface for completion plugins. The matches can be done in a
|
||||
Vim-script list.
|
||||
- For interpreted languages, use the interpreter to obtain information.
|
||||
Should work for Java (Eclipse does this), Python, Tcl, etc.
|
||||
- Check Readline for its completion interface.
|
||||
- Use ctags for other languages. Writing a file could trigger running
|
||||
ctags, merging the tags of the changed file.
|
||||
- UNDO TREE: keep all states of the text, don't delete undo info.
|
||||
When making a change, instead of clearing any future undo (thus redo)
|
||||
info, make a new branch.
|
||||
To navigate through the undo tree number the states of the text
|
||||
sequentially and make it possible to go through the tree in that order.
|
||||
Could also use timestamps (to show the time and/or jump to a state five
|
||||
minutes ago). (David Schweikert)
|
||||
To go from one state to another: backtrack to a common state, then forward
|
||||
again.
|
||||
Only difficult thing: When going back in time, how to find the previous
|
||||
text state in the tree?
|
||||
Show the list of changes in a window to be able to select a version?
|
||||
- PERSISTENT UNDO: store undo in a file.
|
||||
Support multiple threads. Show the list of changes in a window to be able
|
||||
to select a version.
|
||||
Use timestamps, so that a version a certain time ago can be found and info
|
||||
before some time/date can be flushed. 'undopersist' gives maximum time to
|
||||
keep undo: "3h", "1d", "2w", "1y", etc. For the file use dot and
|
||||
extension: ".filename.un~" (like swapfile but "un~" instead of "swp").

7 SWAP FILE CHANGE: When a dos format file was edited with ":e ++ff=unix",

Vim is killed and trying to recover the file, 'ff' will be dos. Same for
