Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. (Giuseppe Bilotta,
Oct 6 2004)
Add Makefile code to install *-it.1 manual pages in .../man/it/man1/*.1
Patch for mch_FullName() also in Vim 6.3? os_mswin.c
Win32: "gvim -V100" should use dialog with scrollbar. Using
gui_mch_dialog() would be good, but need to move display_errors() to after

Asked Gordon to send the differences again, some parts apparently are
missing.
For version 7.0:
PLANNED FOR VERSION 7.0:
- Include many PATCHES:
- Patch for 'breakindent' option: repeat indent for wrapped line. (Vaclav
Smilauer, 2004 Sep 13, fix Oct 31)
7 Add 'taglistfiles' option, show file name and type when listing matching
tags name with CTRL-D completion. Patch from Yegappan Lakshmanan.
2004 Jul 11
7 For Visual mode: Command to do a search for the string in the marked
area. Only when fewer than two lines. Use "g/" and "gb". Patch from
Yegappan Lakshmanan. 2004 Jul 11
When more than two lines: perform a search in the Visual area only.
8 Make 'statusline' local, so that each window can have a different
value. But should it also be local to a buffer? (Yegappan Lakshmanan
has a patch, 2004 Jul 11)
8 Add buffer-local autocommands? Reduces overhead for autocommands that
trigger often (inserting a character, switching mode).
:au Event <buffer> do-something
E.g.:
:au BufEnter <buffer> menu enable ...
:au BufLeave <buffer> menu disable ...
Patch from Yakov Lerner, including test (2004 Jan 7).

7 Add patch from Wall for this one ( ~/Mail/oldmail/wall/in.00019 ):
'flipcase' variable: upper/lowercase pairs.
Insert comma's between pairs and allow a range, make it look like

separate the from and to part is optional.
Resp: no time now.
8 Add GTK 2.3 file dialog support. Patch by Grahame Bowland, 2004 Mar 15,

8 Add ":n" to fnamemodify(): normalize path, remove "../" when possible.
Aric Blumer has a patch for this.
He will update the patch for 6.3.

Add flag in 'cpoptions' for this. When not present, "2dd" in the last
line should delete the last line. Patch from greenx 2002 Apr 11.
8 Accelerators don't work in a dialog. Include patch from Martin Dalecki
(Jan 3, tested by David Harrison). Should work with Alt-o then.

(28 feb 2002).

- Include flipcase patch: ~/vim/patches/wall.flipcase2 ? Make it work
for multi-byte characters.
- Win32: add options to print dialog. Patch from Vipin Aravind.
- Patch to add highlighting for whitespace. (Tom Schumm, 2003 Jul 5)
use the patch that keeps using HLF_8 if HLF_WS has not
been given values.
Add section in help files for these highlight groups?
8 "fg" and "bg" don't work in an xterm. Get default colors from xterm
with an ESC sequence. Ideas in: ~/vim/patches/vikas.xtermcolors .
7 Add "DefaultFG" and "DefaultBG" for the colors of the menu. (Martin
Dalecki has a patch for Motif)
- Add possibility to highlight specific columns (for Fortran). Or put a
line in between columns (e.g. for 'textwidth').
Patch to add 'hlcolumn' from Vit Stradal, 2004 May 20.
8 Add functions:
confirm() add "flags" argument, with 'v' for vertical
layout and 'c' for console dialog. (Haegg)
Flemming Madsen has a patch for the 'c' flag

7 Add a "-@ filelist" argument: read file names from a file. (David
Kotchan has a patch for it)
8 Add term entries for function keys on xterm with alt and ctrl (new in

individual modified key.
Steve Wall has a patch (2002 Mar 12) for adding function keys up to 37,
with modifiers.

patches from Felbinger for a mathematica interface.

the first directory looked for user plugins/syntax files.
$MYVIMRC for .vimrc, $MYGVIMRC for .gvimrc, $MYRUNTIME/plugin for
runtime files?
Also: when the environment variable exists, use it. If it doesn't
exist, set it. Requires good names: $VIM_USER_VIMRC $VIM_USER_DIR
- Add the ":cbuffer" command: read list of errors from a buffer instead
of from a file. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, Oct 31, but avoid the temp file)
Perhaps ":cexpr" could read from a list?
Add %b to 'errorformat': buffer number. (Yegappan Lakshmanan / Suresh
Govindachar)
- The Replace dialog takes "\r" literal, unless "replace all" is used.
Need to escape backslashes.
Win32: the text to replace with isn't remembered.
- For GUI Find/Replace dialog support using a regexp. Patch for Motif
and GTK by degreneir (nov 10 and nov 18).
- Use a builtin grep command for ":grep"? Makes it possible to add the

Patch from Yegappan Lakshmanan, Nov 4. Or use ":grep" and set 'grepprg'
