GTK2: font dialog uses font size zero when 'guifont' is "Courier". Patch from
|
|
|
|
|
Yasuhiro Matsumoto, 2004 June 8.
|
|
|
|
|
This example doesn't work:
|
|
|
|
|
:e `=foo . ".c" `
|
|
|
|
|
Inside `` don't use " as the start of a comment.
|
|
|
|
|
Also don't expand % or #.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python indent: # aser: still adds extra indent.
|
|
|
|
|
Corrections for docs from A3. Skip ones already done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For version 7.0:
|
|
|
|
|
- Include many PATCHES:
|
|
|
|
|
9 Win32 GuI: The print dialog uses a font which doesn't display multi-byte
|
|
|
|
|
messages. Include patch from Vipin Aravind? Update from Yasuhiro
|
|
|
|
|
Matsumoto.
|
|
|
|
|
8 ":winpos" doesn't work. Patch from Vipin Aravind.
|
|
|
|
|
8 Add GTK 2.3 file dialog support. Patch by Grahame Bowland, 2004 Mar 15,
|
|
|
|
|
but it doesn't use "initdir" or "dflt". (will update patch)
|
|
|
|
|
8 On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't defined. Include patch from Cristiano De
|
|
|
|
|
Michele. He no longer has such a machine.
|
|
|
|
|
8 Add file locking. Lock a file when starting to edit it with flock() or
|
|
|
|
|
fcntl(). This patch has advisory file locking while reading/writing
|
|
|
|
|
the file: ~/vim/patches/kahn_file_locking .
|
|
|
|
|
Do we still want this/
|
|
|
|
|
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 ...
|
|
|

|
|
(Sergey Khorev)
|
|
|
|
|
8 Make 'statusline' local, so that each window can have a different
|

|
|
|
|
has a patch, 2002 feb 15)

Kotchan has a patch for it)
|
|
|
|
|
8 Add term entries for function keys on xterm with alt and ctrl (new in
|
|
|
|
|
pl 94). E.g., Control adds ";5" in "<Esc>[20;5~". Find a generic way
|
|
|
|
|
to prepend a modifier in console mode, to avoid having to specify each
|
|
|
|
|
individual modified key.
|
|
|
|
|
Steve Wall has a patch (2002 Mar 12) for adding function keys up to 37,
|
|
|
|
|
with modifiers.
|
|
|
|
|
8 Include a connection to an external program through a pipe? See
|
|
|
|
|
patches from Felbinger for a mathematica interface.
|
|
|
|
|
Or use emacs server kind of thing?
|
|
|
|
|
7 Add an option to set the width of the 'number' column. Eight
|
|
|
|
|
positions is often more than needed. Or adjust the width to the
|
|
|
|
|
length of the file?
|
|
|
|
|
Add patch that adds 'numberlen' option. (James Harvey)
|
|
|
|
|
Other patch with min and max from Emmanuel Renieris (2002 Jul 24)
|
|
|
|
|
Other patch without an option by Gilles Roy (2002 Jul 25)
|
|
|
|
|
7 Add ":justify" command. Patch from Vit Stradal 2002 Nov 25.
|
|
|
|
|
- findmatch() should be adjusted for Lisp. See remark at
|
|
|
|
|
get_lisp_indent(). Esp. \( and \) should be skipped. (Dorai Sitaram,
|
|
|
|
|
incomplete patch Mar 18)
|
|
|
|
|
8 Sorting of filenames for completion is wrong on systems that ignore
|
|
|
|
|
case of filenames. Add 'ignorefncase' option. When set, case in
|
|
|
|
|
filenames is ignored for sorting them. Patch by Mike Williams:
|
|
|
|
|
~/vim/patches/ignorefncase. Also change what matches? Or use another
|
|
|
|
|
option name.
|
|
|
|
|
- Change ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
|
|
|
|
|
incremented/decremented each time.
|
|
|
|
|
- new DATA TYPES: lists, dictionaries and function references.
|
|
|
|
|
Check old patch from Robert Webb for array support.
|
|
|
|
|
Add type checking? See ~/vim/ideas.txt.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add SPELLCHECKER, with easy to add support for many languages.
|
|
|
|
|
8 Add spell checking. Use "ispell -a" somehow.
|
|
|
|
|
~/vim/patches/wm_vim-5_4d.zip can be used as an example (includes
|
|
|
|
|
ispell inside Vim). Gautam Iyer has an example with "aspell".
|
|
|
|
|
"engspchk" from Charles Campbell is a good way. Support for
|
|
|
|
|
approximate-regexps will help (agrep http://www.tgries.de/agrep/).
|
|
|
|
|
- REFACTORING: The main() function is very long. Move parts to separate
|
|
|
|
|
functions, especially loops. Ideas from Walter Briscoe (2003 Apr 3, 2004
|
|
|
|
|
Feb 9).
|
|
|
|
|
- Improve the interface between the generic GUI code and the system-specific
|
|
|
|
|
code. Generic code handles text window with scrollbars, system-specific
|
|
|
|
|
code menu, toolbar, etc.
|
|

|
- Store messages to allow SCROLLING BACK for all commands. And other "less"

|

like commands.
