(Nate Soares, 2012 Dec 3) Patch to make ":hi link" also take arguments. (Nate Soares, 2012 Dec 4) Shell not recognized properly if it ends in "csh -f". (James Vega, 2009 Nov 3) Find tail? Might have a / in argument. Find space? Might have space in path. Test 51 fails when language set to German. (Marco, 2011 Jan 9) Dominique can't reproduce it. 'ambiwidth' should be global-local. ":function f(x) keepjumps" creates a function where every command is executed like it has ":keepjumps" before it. Coverity: ask someone to create new user: Dominique. Check if there are new reported defects: http://scan.coverity.com/rung2.html Patch to support :undo absolute jump to file save number. (Christian Brabandt, 2010 Nov 5) Patch to use'foldnextmax'

(Charles Campbell, 2011 Sep 15) When completion inserts the first match, it may trigger the line to be folded. Disable updating folds while completion is active? (Peter Odding, 2010 Jun 9) When a:base in 'completefunc' starts with a number it's passed as a number, not a string. (Sean Ma) Need to add flag to call_func_retlist() to force a string value. Invalid read error in Farsi mode. (Dominique Pelle, 2009 Aug 2) For running gvim on an USB stick: avoid the OLE registration. Use a command line argument -noregister. When using an expression in 'statusline' leading white space sometimes goes missing (but not always). (ZyX, 2010 Nov 1) When a mapping exists both for insert mode and lang-insert mode, the last one doesn't work. (Tyru, 2010 May 6) Or is this intended? Still a problem with ":make" in the wrong directory. Caused by ":bufdo". (Ajit Thakkar, 2009 Jul 1) More information Jul 9, Jul 15. Caused by "doautoall syntaxset BufEnter *" in syntax/nosyntax.vim ? There also is a BufLeave/BufEnter aucmd to save/restore view. Does the patch to save/restore globaldir work? ":bufdo normal gg" while 'hidden' is set leaves buffers without syntax highlighting. Don't disable Syntax autocommands then? Or add a flag/modifier to avoid changing 'eventignore'? Patch for displaying 0x200c and 0x200d. (Ali Gholami Rudi, 2009 May 6) Probably needs a bit of work.

Wong, 2009 Jul 18) Patch to add farsi handling to arabic.c (Ali Gholami Rudi, 2009 May 2) Added test, updates, June 23. Patch to add "focusonly" to 'scrollopt', so that scrollbind also applies in window that doesn't have focus. (Jonathon Mah, 2009 Jan 12) Needs more work. Problem with<script>

(Dale Wiles, 2009 May 28) 'cmdwinheight' is only used in last window when 'winheight' is a large value. (Tony Mechelynck, 2009 Apr 15) Status line containing winnr() isn't updated when splitting the window (Clark J. Wang, 2009 Mar 31) When $VIMRUNTIME is set in .vimrc, need to reload lang files. Already done for GTK, how about others? (Ron Aaron, 2010 Apr 10) Patch for GTK buttons X1Mouse and X2Mouse. (Christian J. Robinson, 2010 Aug 9) Motif: Build on Ubuntu can't enter any text in dialog text fields. When 'ft' changes redraw custom status line. ":tab split fname" doesn't set the alternate file in the original window, because win_valid() always returns FALSE. Below win_new_tabpage() in ex_docmd.c. Space before comma in function definition not allowed: "function x(a , b)" Give a more appropriate error message. Add a remark to the docs. string_convert() should be able to convert between utf-8 and utf-16le. Used for GTK clipboard. Avoid requirement for iconv. Now that colnr_T is int instead of unsigned, more type casts can be removed. 'delcombine' does not work for the command line. (Tony Mechelynck, 2009 Jul 20) Don't load macmap.vim on startup, turn it into a plugin. (Ron Aaron, 2009 Apr 7) Reminder Apr 14. Add "no_hlsearch" to winsaveview(). Cursorline highlighting combines with Search ('hlsearch') but not with SpellBad. (Jim Karsten, 2009 Mar 18) When 'foldmethod' is "indent", adding an empty line below a fold and then indented text, creates a new fold instead of joining it with the previous one. (Evan Laforge, 2009 Oct 17) Bug: When reloading a buffer changed outside of Vim, BufRead autocommands are applied to the wrong buffer/window. (Ben Fritz, 2009 Apr 2, May 11) Ignore window options when not in the right window? Perhaps we need to use a hidden window for applying autocommands to a buffer that doesn't have a window. When using "ab foo bar" and mapping<Tab>
to<Esc>
, pressing<Tab>
after foo doesn't trigger the abbreviation like<Esc>
would. (Ramana Kumar, 2009 Sep 6) getbufvar() to get a window-local option value for a buffer that's not displayed in a window should return the value that's stored for that buffer. ":he ctrl_u" can be auto-corrected to ":he ctrl-u". There should be a way after an abbreviation has expanded to go back to what was typed.CTRL-G
h ? Would also undo last word or line break inserted perhaps. And undoCTRL-W
.CTRL-G
l would redo. Diff mode out of sync. (Gary Johnson, 2010 Aug 4) Support a'systemencoding'
option (for Unix). It specifies the encoding of file names. (Kikuchan, 2010 Oct 5). Useful on a latin1 or double-byte Asian system when 'encoding' is "utf-8". Win32 GUI: last message from startup doesn't show up when there is an echoerr command. (Cyril Slobin, 2009 Mar 13) Win32: use different args for SearchPath()? (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, 2009 Jan 30) Win32: completion of file name ":e c:\!test" results in ":e c:\\!test", which does not work. (Nieko Maatjes, 2009 Jan 8, Ingo Karkat, 2009 Jan 22) opening/closing window causes other window with 'winfixheight' to change height. Also happens when there is another window in the frame, if it's not very high. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, 2010 Jul 22, Michael Peeters, 2010 Jul 22) Directory wrong in session file, caused by ":lcd" in BufEnter autocommand. (Felix Kater, 2009 Mar 3) Session file generates error upon loading, cause by --remote-silent-tab. (7tommm (ytommm) 2010 Nov 24) Using ~ works OK on 'a' with composing char, but not on 0x0418 with composing char 0x0301. (Tony Mechelynck, 2009 Mar 4) A function on a dictionary is not profiled. (Zyx, 2010 Dec 25) Inconsistent: starting with $LANG set to es_ES.utf-8 gives Spanish messages, even though locale is not supported. But ":lang messages es_ES.utf-8" gives an error and doesn't switch messages. (Dominique Pelle, 2009 Jan 26) When $HOME contains special characters, such as a comma, escape them when used in an option. (Michael Hordijk, 2009 May 5) Turn "esc" argument of expand_env_esc() into string of chars to be escaped. Should make 'ignorecase' global-local, so that it makes sense setting it from a modeline. Add cscope target to Makefile. (Tony Mechelynck, 2009 Jun 18, replies by Sergey Khorev) Consider making YankRing or something else that keeps a list of yanked text part of standard Vim. The "1 to "9 registers are not sufficient. netrw: dragging status line causes selection of entry. Should check row number to be below last visible line. After doing "su" $HOME can be the old user's home, thus ~root/file is not correct. Don't use it in the swap file. Completion for ":buf" doesn't work properly on Win32 when 'shellslash' is off. (Henrik Ohman, 2009, Jan 29) shellescape() depends on'shellshash'
for quoting. That doesn't work when 'shellslash' is set but using cmd.exe. (Ben Fritz) Use a different option or let it depend on whether 'shell' looks like a unix-like shell? Bug: in Ex mode (after "Q") backslash before line break, when yanked into a register and executed, results in<Nul>
: instead of line break. (Konrad Schwarz, 2010 Apr 16) Have a look at patch for utf-8 line breaking. (Yongwei Wu, 2008 Mar 1, Mar 23) Now at: http://vimgadgets.sourceforge.net/liblinebreak/ Greek sigma character should be lower cased depending on the context. Can we make this work? (Dominique Pelle, 2009 Sep 24) When changing 'encoding' convert all the swap file names, so that we can still delete them. Also convert all buffer file names? "gqip" in Insert mode has an off-by-one error, causing it to reflow text. (Raul Coronado, 2009 Nov 2) Update src/testdir/main.aap. "vim -c 'sniff connect'" hangs Vim. (Dominique Pelle, 2008 Dec 7) Something wrong with session that has "cd" commands and "badd", in such a way that Vim doesn't find the edited file in the buffer list, causing the ATTENTION message? (Tony Mechelynck, 2008 Dec 1) Also: swap files are in ~/tmp/ One has relative file name ".mozilla/...". Add v:motion_force. (Kana Natsuno, 2008 Dec 6) Maybe call it v:motiontype. Runtime files for Clojure. (Toralf Wittner, 2008 Jun 25) MS-Windows: editing the first, empty buffer, 'ffs' set to "unix,dos", ":enew" doesn't set 'ff' to "unix". (Ben Fritz, 2008 Dec 5) Reusing the old buffer probably causes this. 'scrollbind' is not respected when deleting lines or undo. (Milan Vancura, 2009 Jan 16) Patch to support strikethrough next to bold and italic. (Christian Brabandt, 2013 Jul 30) Document that default font in Athena can be set with resources: XtDefaultFont: "9x15" XtDefaultFontSet: "9x15" (Richard Sherman, 2009 Apr 12) Having "Syntax" in 'eventignore' for :bufdo may cause problems, e.g. for ":bufdo e" when buffers are open in windows. ex_listdo(eap) could set the option only for when jumping to another buffer, not when the command argument is executed. ":pedit %" with a BufReadPre autocommand causes the cursor to move to the first line. (Ingo Karkat, 2008 Jul 1) Ian Kelling is working on this.

J that doesn't change anything. (Dasn, 2009 Apr 7) On Unix "glob('does not exist~')" returns the string. Without the "~" it doesn't. (John Little, 2008 Nov 9) Shell expansion returns unexpanded string? Don't use shell when "~" is not at the start? ":unlet $VAR" doesn't work. When using ":e ++enc=foo file" and the file is already loaded with 'fileencoding' set to "bar", then do_ecmd() uses that buffer, even though the fileencoding differs. Reload the buffer in this situation? Need to check for the buffer to be unmodified. Unfinished patch by Ian Kelling, 2008 Jul 11. Followup Jul 14, need to have another look at it. c.vim: XXX in a comment is colored yellow, but not when it's after "#if 0". (Ilya Dogolazky, 2009 Aug 7) You can type ":w ++bad=x fname", but the ++bad argument is ignored. Give an error message? Or is this easy to implement? (Nathan Stratton Treadway, 2008 Aug 20) This is in ucs2bytes(), search for 0xBF. Using the ++bad argument is at the other match for 0xBF. When adding "-complete=file" to a user command this also changes how the argument is processed for<f-args>
. (Ivan Tishchenko, 2008 Aug 19) Win32: associating a type with Vim doesn't take care of space after a backslash? (Robert Vibrant, 2008 Jun 5) When 'rightleft' is set, cursorcolumn isn't highlighted after the end of a line. It's also wrong in folds. (Dominique Pelle, 2010 Aug 21) Using an insert mode expression mapping, cursor is not in the expected position. (ZyX, 2010 Aug 29) After using<Tab>
for command line completion after ":ta blah" and getting E33 (no tags file), further editing the command to e.g., ":echo'blah'
", the command is not executed. Fix by Ian Kelling? ":help s/~" jumps to *s/\~*, while ":help s/\~" doesn't find anything. (Tim Chase) Fix by Ian Kelling, 2008 Jul 14. Use "\U12345678" for 32 bit Unicode characters? (Tony Mechelynck, 2009 Apr 6) Or use "\u(123456)", similar to Perl. When mapping : to ; and ; to :, @; doesn't work like @: and @: doesn't work either. Matt Wozniski: nv_at() calls do_execreg() which uses put_in_typebuf(). Char mapped twice? Despite adding save_subexpr() this still doesn't work properly: Regexp: matchlist('12a4aaa'
, '^\(.\{-}

,'aaa'
,'4aaa'

(Charles Campbell, 2008 Aug 12) ftplugin for help file should set 'isk' to help file value. Win32: remote editing fails when the current directory name contains "[". (Ivan Tishchenko, Liu Yubao) Suggested patch by Chris Lubinski: Avoid escaping characters where the backslash is not removed later. Asked Chris for an alternate solution, also for src/ex_getln.c. This also fails when the file or directory name contains "%". (Thoml, 2008 July 7) Using --remote-silent while the current directory has a # in the name does not work, the # needs to be escaped.

(Wolfgang Kroworsch, 2008 Oct 19) Check for "col" being "MAXCOL" separately? Unexpectedly inserting a double quote. (Anton Woellert, 2008 Mar 23) Works OK when 'cmdheight' is 2. 8 Use a mechanism similar to omni completion to figure out the kind of tab forCTRL-]
and jump to the appropriate matching tag (if there are several). Alternative: be able to define a function that takes the tag name and uses taglist() to find the right location. With indication of usingCTRL-]

The utf class table is missing some entries: 0x2212, minus sign 0x2217, star 0x2500, bar 0x26ab, circle Visual line mode doesn't highlight properly when 'showbreak' is used and the line doesn't fit.

Problem with 'ts' set to 9 and 'showbreak' to ">>>". (Matthew Winn, 2007 Oct 1) In the swapfile dialog, add a H(elp) option that gives more info about what each choice does. Similar to ":help swap-exists-choices" try/catch not working for argument of return. (Matt Wozniski, 2008 Sep 15) try/catch not working when inside a for loop. (ZyX, 2011 Jan 25) ":tab help" always opens a new tab, while ":help" re-uses an existing window. Would be more consistent when an existing tab is re-used. (Tony Mechelynck) Add ":nofold". Range will apply without expanding to closed fold. Using Aap to build Vim: add remarks about how to set personal preferences. Example on http://www.calmar.ws/tmp/aap.html Syntax highlighting wrong for transparent region. (Doug Kearns, 2007 Feb 26) Bug in using a transparent syntax region.

(Peter Hodge) ":echoe" in catch block stops processing, while this doesn't happen outside of a catch block. (ZyX, 2011 Jun 2) 'foldcolumn' in modeline applied to wrong window when using a session. (Teemu Likonen, March 19) Test 54 uses shell commands, that doesn't work on non-Unix systems. Use some other way to test buffer-local autocommands. The documentation mentions the priority for ":2match" and ":3match", but it appears the last one wins. (John Beckett, 2008 Jul 22) Caused by adding matchadd()? Suggested patch by John, 2008 Jul 24. When 'encoding' is utf-8 the command line is redrawn as a whole on every character typed.

(David Eggum, 2006 Dec 18) Autoconf problem: when checking for iconv library we may add -L/usr/local/lib, but when compiling further tests -liconv is added without the -L argument, that may fail (e.g., sizeof(int)). (Blaine, 2007 Aug 21) When opening quickfix window, disable spell checking? Problem with ".add" files when using two languages and restarting Vim. (Raul Coronado, 2008 Oct 30) Popup menu redraw: Instead of first redrawing the text and then drawing the popup menu over it, first draw the new popup menu, remember its position and size and then redraw the text, skipping the characters under the popup menu. This should avoid flicker. Other solution by A.Politz, 2007 Aug 22. Windows 98: pasting from the clipboard with text from another application has a trailing NUL. (Joachim Hofmann) Perhaps the length specified for CF_TEXT isn't right? When a register contains illegal bytes, writing viminfo in utf-8 and reading it back doesn't result in utf-8. (Devin Bayer) Command line completion: Scanning for tags doesn't check for typed key now and then? Hangs for about 5 seconds. Appears to be caused by finding include files with "foo/**" in 'path'. (Kalisiak, 2006 July 15) Additional info: When using the |wildcards| ** globing, vim hangs indefinitely on lots of directories. The |file-searching| globing, like in ":set path=/**" does not hang as often as with globing with |wildcards|, like in ":1find /**/file". This is for a files that unix "find" can find very quick. Merging the 2 kinds of globing might make this an easier fix. (Ian Kelling, 2008 July 4) When the file name has parenthesis, e.g., "foo (bar).txt", ":!ls '%'" has the parenthesis escaped but not the space. That's inconsistent. Either escape neither or both. No escaping might be best, because it doesn't depend on particularities of the shell. (Zvi Har'El, 2007 Nov 10) (Teemu Likonen, 2008 Jun 3) However, for backwards compatibility escaping might be necessary. Check if the user put quotes around the expanded item? A throw in a function causes missing an endif below the call. (Spiros Bousbouras, 2011 May 16) Error E324 can be given when a cron script has wiped out our temp directory. Give a clear error message about this (and tell them not to wipe out /tmp). Color for cUserLabel should differ from case label, so that a mistake in a switch list is noticed: switch (i) { case 1: foobar: } Look at http://www.gtk-server.org/ . It has a Vim script implementation. Netbeans problem. Use "nc -l <IP_ADDRESS> 55555" for the server, then run gvim with "gvim -nb:localhost:55555:foo". From nc do: '1:editFile!0 "foo"'.

(Teemu Likonen, 2008 Jun 18) If the variable "g:x#y#z" exists completion after ":echo g:x#" doesn't work. Feature request: Command to go to previous tab, like whatCTRL-W
p does for windows. (Adam George) F1 - F4 in an xterm produce a different escape sequence when used with a modifier key. Need to catch three different sequences. Use K_ZF1, like K_ZHOME? (Dickey, 2007 Dec 2) UTF-8: mapping a multi-byte key where the second byte is 0x80 doesn't appear to work. (Tony Mechelynck, 2007 March 2) In debug mode, usingCTRL-R
= to evaluate a function causes stepping through the function. (Hari Krishna Dara, 2006 Jun 28) C++ indenting wrong with "=". (James Kanze, 2007 Jan 26) ":lockvar" should use copyID to avoid endless loop. When using --remote-silent and the file name matches 'wildignore' get an E479 error. without --remote-silent it works fine. (Ben Fritz, 2008 Jun 20) Gvim: dialog for closing Vim should check if Vim is busy writing a file. Then use a different dialog: "busy saving, really quit? yes / no". Check other interfaces for changing curbuf in a wrong way. Patch like for if_ruby.c. ":helpgrep" should use the directory from 'helpfile'. The need_fileinfo flag is messy. Instead make the message right away and put it in keep_msg? Editing a file remotely that matches 'wildignore' results in a "no match" error. Should only happen when there are wildcards, not when giving the file name literally, and esp. if there is only one name. Test 61 fails sometimes. This is a timing problem: "sleep 2" sometimes takes longer than 2 seconds. Using ":au CursorMoved * cmd" invokes mch_FullName(), which can be slow. Can this be avoided? (Thomas Waba, 2008 Aug 24) Also for ":w" without a file name. The buffer has the full path in ffname, should pass this to the autocommand. "vim -C" often has 'nocompatible', because it's set in some startup script. Set 'compatible' after startup is done? Patch by James Vega, 2008 Feb 7. VMS: while editing a file found in complex, Vim will save file into the first directory of the path and not to the original location of the file. (Zoltan Arpadffy) VMS: VFC files are in some cases truncated during reading (Zoltan Arpadffy) input() completion should not insert a backslash to escape a space in a file name? Ruby completion is insecure. Can this be fixed? When 'backupskip' is set from $TEMP special characters need to be escaped. (patch by Grembowietz, 2007 Feb 26, not quite right) Another problem is that file_pat_to_reg_pat() doesn't recognize "\\", so "\\(" will be seen as a path separator plus "\(". gvim d:\path\path\(FILE).xml should not remove the \ before the (. This also fails with --remote. When doing ":quit" the Netbeans "killed" event isn't sent. (Xavier de Gaye, 2008 Nov 10) call netbeans_file_closed() at the end of buf_freeall(), or in all places where buf_freeall() is called? aucmd_prepbuf() should also use a window in another tab page. When unloading a buffer in a BufHidden autocommand the hidden flag is reset? (Bob Hiestand, 2008 Aug 26, Aug 27) Substituting an area with a line break with almost the same area does change the Visual area. Can this be fixed? (James Vega, 2006 Sept 15) GUI: When combining fg en bg make sure they are not equal. Spell checking: Add a way to specify punctuation characters. Add the superscript numbers by default: 0x2070, 0xb9, 0xb2, 0xb3, 0x2074 - 0x2079. Spell checking in popup menu: If the only problem is the case of the first character, don't offer "ignore" and "add to word list". Use different pt_br dictionary for spell checking. (Jackson A. Aquino, 2006 Jun 5) Use different romanian dictionary for spell checking. (Andrei Popescu, Nov 2008) Use http://downloads.sourceforge.net/rospell/ro_RO.3.2.zip Or the hunspell-ro.3.2.tar.gz file, it also has a iso-8859-2 list. In a C file with spell checking, in "% integer" "nteger" is seen as an error, but "]s" doesn't find it. "nteger" by itself is found. (Ralf Wildenhues, 2008 Jul 22) There should be something about spell checking in the user manual. Spell menu: When using the Popup menu to select a replacement word, ":spellrepeat" doesn't work. SpellReplace() uses setline(). Can it use "z=" somehow? Or use a new function. Mac: Using gvim: netrw window disappears. (Nick Lo, 2006 Jun 21) Add an option to specify the character to use when a double-width character is moved to the next line. Default '>', set to a space to blank it out. Check that char is single width when it's set (compare with 'listchars'). The generated vim.bat can avoid the loop for NT. (Carl Zmola, 2006 Sep 3) When showing a diff between a non-existent file and an existing one, with the cursor in the empty buffer, the other buffer only shows the last line. Change the "insert" into a change from one line to many? (Yakov Lerner, 2008 May 27) Add autocommand for when a tabpage is being closed. Also for when a tab page has been created. Using ":make" blocks Vim. Allow running one make in the background (if the shell supports it), catch errors in a file and update the error list on the fly. A bit like "!make > file&" and repeating ":cf file". ":bgmake", background make. ":bgcancel" interrupts it. A.Politz may work on this. These two abbreviations don't give the same result: let asdfasdf = "xyz\<Left>
" cabbr XXX<C-R>
=asdfasdf<CR>
cabbr YYY xyz<Left>
Michael Dietrich: maximized gvim sometimes displays output of external command partly. (2006 Dec 7) In FileChangedShell command it's no longer allowed to switch to another buffer. But the changed buffer may differ from the current buffer, how to reload it then? New syntax files for fstab and resolv from Radu Dineiu, David Necas did previous version. For Aap: include a config.arg.example file with hints how to use config.arg. Command line completion when 'cmdheight' is maximum and 'wildmenu' is set, only one buffer line displayed, causes display errors. Completing with 'wildmenu' and using<Up>
and<Down>
to move through directory tree stops unexpectedly when using ":cd " and entering a directory that doesn't contain other directories. Setting 'background' resets the Normal background color: highlight Normal ctermbg=DarkGray set background=dark This is undesired, 'background' is supposed to tell Vim what the background color is, not reset it. Linux distributions: - Suggest compiling xterm with --enable-tcap-query, so that nr of colors is known to Vim. 88 colors instead of 16 works better. See ":help xfree-xterm". - Suggest including bare "vi" and "vim" with X11, syntax, etc. Completion menu: For a wrapping line, completing a long file name, only the start of the path is shown in the menu. Should move the menu to the right to show more text of the completions. Shorten the items that don't fit in the middle? When running inside screen it's possible to kill the X server and restart it (using pty's the program can keep on running). Vim dies because it loses the connection to the X server. Can Vim simply quit using the X server instead of dying? Also relevant when running in a console. Accessing file#var in a function should not need the g: prepended. When exiting detects a modified buffer, instead of opening the buffer in the current tab, use an existing tab, if possible. Like finding a window where the buffer is displayed. (Antonios Tsakiridis) When ":cn" moves to an error in the same line the message isn't shortened. Only skip shortening for ":cc"? Write "making vim work better" for the docs (mostly pointers): *nice* - sourcing $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim - setting 'mouse' to "a" - getting colors in xterm - compiling Vim with X11, GUI, etc. Problem with ":call" and dictionary function. Hari Krishna Dara, Charles Campbell 2006 Jul 06. Syntax HL error caused by "containedin". (Peter Hodge, 2006 Oct 6) A custom completion function in a ":command" cannot be a Funcref. (Andy Wokula, 2007 Aug 25) Problem with using :redir in user command completion function? (Hari Krishna Dara, 2006 June 21) Another resizing problem when setting 'columns' and 'lines' to a very large number. (Tony Mechelynck, 2007 Feb 6) After starting Vim, using '0 to jump somewhere in a file, ":sp" doesn't center the cursor line. It works OK after some other commands. Win32: Is it possible to have both postscript and Win32 printing? Check: Running Vim in a console and still having connect to the X server for copy/paste: is stopping the X server handled gracefully? Should catch the X error and stop using the connection to the server. Problem with 'cdpath' on MS-Windows when a directory is equal to $HOME. (2006 Jul 26, Gary Johnson) Using UTF-8 character with ":command" does not work properly. (Matt Wozniski, 2008 Sep 29) In the Netbeans interface add a "vimeval" function, so that the other side can check the result of has("patch13"). Cursor line at bottom of window instead of halfway after saving view and restoring. Only with 'nowrap'. (Robert Webb, 2008 Aug 25) Netrw has trouble executing autocommands only for a directory. Add<isdir>
and<notisdir>
to autocommand patterns? Also<isfile>
? Add command modifier that skips wildcard expansion, so that you don't need to put backslashes before special chars, only for white space. Syntax HL: open two windows on the same C code, delete a ")" in one window, resulting in highlighted "{" in that window, not in the other. In mswin.vim: Instead of mapping<C-V>
for Insert mode in a complicated way, can it be done like ":imap<C-V>
<MiddleMouse>
" without negative side effects? GTK: when the Tab pages bar appears or disappears while the window is maximized the window is no longer maximized. Patch that has some idea but doesn't work from Geoffrey Antos, 2008 May 5. Also: the window may no longer fit on the screen, thus the command line is not visible. When right after "vim file", "M" thenCTRL-W
v the windows are scrolled differently and unexpectedly. Caused by patch 7.2.398? The magic clipboard format "VimClipboard2" appears in several places. Should be only one. "vim -C" often has 'nocompatible', because it's set somewhere in a startup script. Do "set compatible" after startup? It's difficult to debug numbered functions (function in a Dictionary). Print the function name before resolving it to a number? let d ={}
fun! d.foo() echo "here" endfun call d.foo(9) Add a mark for the other end of the Visual area (VIsual pos). '< and '> are only set after Visual moded is ended. Also add a variable for the Visual mode. So that this mode and '< '> can be used to set what "gv" selects. (Ben Schmidt) Win32: When running ":make" and 'encoding' differs from the system locale, the output should be converted. Esp. when 'encoding' is "utf-8". (Yongwei Wu) Should we use 'termencoding' for this? Win32, NTFS: When editing a specific infostream directly and 'backupcopy' is "auto" should detect this situation and work like 'backupcopy' is "yes". File name is something like "c:\path\foo.txt:bar", includes a colon. (Alex Jakushev, 2008 Feb 1) printf() uses the field width in bytes. Can it be made character width, perhaps with a modifier? What does Posix say? Small problem displaying diff filler line when opening windows with a script. (David Luyer, 2007 Mar 1 ~/Mail/oldmail/mool/in.15872 ) Is it allowed that 'backupext' is empty? Problems when backup is in same dir as original file? If it's OK don't compare with 'patchmode'. (Thierry Closen) Patch for supporting count before CR in quickfix window. (AOYAMA Shotaro, 2007 Jan 1) Patch for adding ":lscscope". (Navdeep Parhar, 2007 Apr 26; update 2008 Apr 23) ":mkview" isn't called with the right buffer argument. Happens when using tabs and the autocommand "autocmd BufWinLeave * mkview". (James Vega, 2007 Jun 18) xterm should be able to pass focus changes to Vim, so that Vim can check for buffers that changed. Perhaps in misc.c, function selectwindow(). Xterm 224 supports it! When completing from another file that uses a different encoding completion text has the wrong encoding. E.g., when 'encoding' is utf-8 and file is latin1. Example from Gombault Damien, 2007 Mar 24. Is it possible to use "foo#var" instead of "g:foo#var" inside a function? Syntax HL: When using "nextgroup" and the group has an empty match, there is no search at that position for another match. (Lukas Mai, 2008 April 11) In gvim the backspace key produces a backspace character, but on Linux the VERASE key is Delete. Set VERASE to Backspace? (patch by Stephane Chazelas, 2007 Oct 16) TermResponse autocommand isn't always triggered when using vimdiff. (Aron Griffis, 2007 Sep 19) Create a gvimtutor.1 file and change Makefiles to install it. When 'encoding' is utf-8 typing text at the end of the line causes previously typed characters to be redrawn. Caused by patch 7.1.329. (Tyler Spivey, 2008 Sep 3, 11) When Vim in an xterm owns the selection and the user does ":shell" Vim doesn't respond to selection requests. Invoking XtDisownSelection() before executing the shell doesn't help. Would require forking and doing a message loop, like what happens for the GUI. X11: Putting more than about 262040 characters of text on the clipboard and pasting it in another Vim doesn't work. (Dominique Pelle, 2008 Aug 21-23) clip_x11_request_selection_cb() is called with zero value and length. Also: Get an error message from free() in the process that owns the selection. Seems to happen when the selection is requested the second time, but before clip_x11_convert_selection_cb() is invoked, thus in X library code. ":vimgrep" does not recognize a recursive symlink. Is it possible to detect this, at least for Unix (using device/inode)? When switching between windows the cursor is often put in the middle. Remember the relative position and restore that, just like lnum and col are restored. (Luc St-Louis) Patch to support horizontal scroll wheel in GTK. Untested.

New patch 2004 Jun 16 - selecting proportional font breaks display - UTF-8 text causes display problems. Font replacement causes this. - Command-key mappings do not work. (Alan Schmitt) - With 'nopaste' pasting is wrong, with 'paste' Command-V doesn't work. (Alan Schmitt) - remove 'macatsui' option when this has been fixed. - when 'macatsui' is off should we always convert to "macroman" and ignore 'termencoding'? 9 HTML indenting can be slow. Caused by using searchpair(). Can search() be used instead? A.Politz is looking into a solution. 8 Win32: Add minidump generation. (George Reilly, 2006 Apr 24) 8 Add ":n" to fnamemodify(): normalize path, remove "../" when possible. Aric Blumer has a patch for this.

Patch from Jiri Brezina (28 feb 2002). Will mess the translations... 7 ATTENTION dialog choices are more logical when "Delete it' appears before "Quit". Patch by Robert Webb, 2004 May 3. - 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. xterm can send colors for many things. E.g. for the cursor:<Esc>

Fox (2005 Nov 24) Search in 'runtimepath'? More docs needed about how to use this. How to get the messages into the .po files? strchars() Like strlen() and strwidth() but counting characters instead of bytes. confirm() add "flags" argument, with 'v' for vertical layout and 'c' for console dialog. (Haegg) Flemming Madsen has a patch for the 'c' flag (2003 May 13) raisewin() raise gvim window (see HierAssist patch for Tcl implementation ~/vim/HierAssist/ ) taglist() add argument to specify maximum number of matches. useful for interactive things or completion. col('^') column of first non-white character. Can use "len(substitute(getline('.'), '\S.*', '', '')) + 1", but that's ugly. 7 Add patch from Benoit Cerrina to integrate Vim and Perl functions better. Now also works for Ruby (2001 Nov 10) - Patch from Herculano de Lima Einloft Neto for better formatting of the quickfix window (2004 dec 2) 7 When 'rightleft' is set, the search pattern should be displayed right to left as well? See patch of Dec 26. (Nadim Shaikli) 8 Option to lock all used memory so that it doesn't get swapped to disk (uncrypted). Patch by Jason Holt, 2003 May 23.

Patch from Walter Briscoe, 2003 Jul 1. 7 Add a "-@ filelist" argument: read file names from a file. (David Kotchan has a patch for it) 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 ":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) - For GUI Find/Replace dialog support using a regexp. Patch for Motif and GTK by degreneir (nov 10 and nov 18). - Patch for "paranoid mode" by Kevin Collins, March 7. Needs much more work. Vi 不兼容性: - Try new POSIX tests, made after my comments. (Geoff Clare, 2005 April 7) Version 1.5 is in ~/src/posix/1.5. (Lynne Canal) 8 With undo/redo only marks in the changed lines should be changed. Other marks should be kept. Vi keeps each mark at the same text, even when it is deleted or restored. (Webb) Also: A mark is lost after: make change, undo, redo and undo. Example: "{d''" then "u" then "d''": deletes an extra line, because the '' position is one line down. (Veselinovic) 8 When stdin is not a tty, and Vim reads commands from it, an error should make Vim exit. 7 Unix Vim (not gvim): TypingCTRL-C
in Ex mode should finish the line (currently you can continue typing, but it's truncated later anyway). Requires a way to makeCTRL-C
interrupt select() when in cooked input. 8 When loading a file in the .exrc, Vi loads the argument anyway. Vim skips loading the argument if there is a file already. When no file argument given, Vi starts with an empty buffer, Vim keeps the loaded file. (Bearded) 6 In Insert mode, when using<BS>
or<Del>
, don't wipe out the text, but only move back the cursor. Behaves like '$' in 'cpoptions'. Use a flag in 'cpoptions' to switch this on/off. 8 When editing a file which is a symbolic link, and then opening another symbolic link on the same file, Vim uses the name of the first one. Adjust the file name in the buffer to the last one used? Use several file names in one buffer??? Also: When first editing file "test", which is symlink to "test2", and then editing "test2", you end up editing buffer "test" again. It's not logical that the name that was first used sticks with the buffer. 7 The ":undo" command works differently in Ex mode. Edit a file, make some changes, "Q", "undo" and _all_ changes are undone, like the ":visual" command was one command. On the other hand, an ":undo" command in an Ex script only undoes the last change (e.g., use two :append commands, then :undo). 7 The ":map" command output overwrites the command. Perhaps it should keep the ":map" when it's used without arguments? 7CTRL-L
is not the end of a section? It is for Posix! Make it an option. 7 Implement 'prompt' option. Init to off when stdin is not a tty. 7CTRL-T
in Insert mode inserts 'shiftwidth' of spaces at the cursor. Add a flag in 'cpoptions' for this. 7 Add a way to send an email for a crashed edit session. Create a file when making changes (containing name of the swap file), delete it when writing the file. Supply a program that can check for crashed sessions (either all, for a system startup, or for one user, for in a .login file). 7 Vi doesn't do autoindenting when input is not from a tty (in Ex mode). 7 "z3<CR>
" should still use the whole window, but only redisplay 3 lines. 7 ":tag xx" should move the cursor to the first non-blank. Or should it go to the match with the tag? Option? 7 Implement 'autoprint'/'ap' option. 7 Add flag in 'cpoptions' that makes<BS>
after a count work like<Del>
(Sayre). 7 Add flag in 'cpoptions' that makes operator (yank, filter) not move the cursor, at least when cancelled. (default Vi compatible). 7 This Vi-trick doesn't work: "Q" to go to Ex mode, then "g/pattern/visual". In Vi you can edit in visual mode, and when doing "Q" you jump to the next match. Nvi can do it too. 7 Support '\' for line continuation in Ex mode for these commands: (Luebking) g/./a\ g/pattern1/ s/pattern2/rep1\\ line 1\ line 2\\ line 2\ line 3\\ . line4/ 6 ":e /tmp/$tty" doesn't work. ":e $uid" does. Is $tty not set because of the way the shell is started? 6 Vi compatibility (optional): make "ia<CR>
<ESC>
10." do the same strange thing. (only repeat insert for the first line). GTK+ GUI 已知的漏洞: 9 Crash with X command server over ssh. (Ciaran McCreesh, 2006 Feb 6) 8 GTK 2: Combining UTF-8 characters not displayed properly in menus (Mikolaj Machowski) They are displayed as separate characters. Problem in creating a label? 8 GTK 2: Combining UTF-8 characters are sometimes not drawn properly. Depends on the font size, "monospace 13" has the problem. Vim seems to do everything right, must be a GTK bug. Is there a way to work around it? 9 Can't paste a Visual selection from GTK-gvim to vim in xterm or Motif gvim when it is longer than 4000 characters. Works OK from gvim to gvim and vim to vim. Pasting through xterm (using the shift key) also works. It starts working after GTK gvim loses the selection and gains it again. - Gnome2: When moving the toolbar out of the dock, so that it becomes floating, it can no longer be moved. Therefore making it float has been blocked for now. Win32 GUI 已知的漏洞: - Win32: tearoff menu window should have a scrollbar when it's taller than the screen. 8 non-ASCII font names don't work. Need to convert from 'encoding' and use the wide functions. 8 On Windows 98 the unicows library is needed to support functions with UCS2 file names. Can we load unicows.dll dynamically? 8 The -P argument doesn't work very well with many MDI applications. The last argument of CreateWindowEx() should be used, see MSDN docs. Tutorial: http://win32assembly.online.fr/tut32.html 8 In eval.c, io.h is included when MSWIN32 is defined. Shouldn't this be WIN32? Or can including io.h be moved to vim.h? (Dan Sharp) 7 Windows XP: When using "ClearType" for text smoothing, a column of yellow pixels remains when typing spaces in front of a "D" ('guifont' set to "lucida_console:h8"). 6 Win32 GUI: With "-u NONE -U NONE" and doing "CTRL-W
v" "CTRL-W
o", the ":" of ":only" is highlighted like the cursor. (Lipelis) 8 When 'encoding' is "utf-8", should use 'guifont' for both normal and wide characters to make Asian languages work. Win32 fonts contain both type of characters. 7 When font smoothing is enabled, redrawing can become very slow. The reason appears to be drawing with a transparent background. Would it be possible to use an opaque background in most places? 8 Use another default for 'termencoding': the active codepage. Means that when 'encoding' is changed typing characters still works properly. Alternative: use the Unicode functions to obtain typed characters. 8 Win32: Multi-byte characters are not displayed, even though the same font in Notepad can display them. (Srinath Avadhanula) Try with the UTF-8-demo.txt page with Andale Mono. 7 The cursor color indicating IME mode doesn't work properly. (Shizhu Pan, 2004 May 9) 8 Win32: When clicking on the gvim title bar, which gives it focus, produces a file-changed dialog, after clicking on a button in that dialog the gvim window follows the mouse. The button-up event is lost. Only with MS-Windows 98? Try this: ":set sw ts", get enter-prompt, then change the file in a console, go back to Vim and click "reload" in the dialog for the changed file: Window moves with the cursor! Put focus event in input buffer and let generic Vim code handle it? 8 Win32 GUI: With maximized window, ":set go-=r" doesn't use the space that comes available. (Poucet) It works OK on Win 98 but doesn't work on Win NT 4.0. Leaves a grey area where the scrollbar was. ":set go+=r" also doesn't work properly. 8 When Vim is minimized and when maximizing it a file-changed dialog pops up, Vim isn't maximized. It should be done before the dialog, so that it appears in the right position. (Webb) 9 When selecting at the more-prompt or hit-enter-prompt, the right mouse button doesn't give popup menu. At the hit-enter promptCTRL-Y
doesn't work to copy the modeless selection. On the command line, don't get a popup menu for the right mouse button. Let the middle button paste selected text (not the clipboard but the non-Visual selection)? OtherwiseCTRL-Y
has to be used to copy the text. 8 When 'grepprg' doesn't execute, the error only flashes by, the user can hardly see what is wrong. (Moore) Could use vimrun with an "-nowait" argument to only wait when an error occurs, but "command.com" doesn't return an error code. 8 When the 'shell' cannot be executed, should give an appropriate error msg. Esp. for a filter command, currently it only complains the file could not be read. 7 Add an option to add one pixel column to the character width? Lucida Console italic is wider than the normal font ("d" overlaps with next char). Opposite of 'linespace':'columnspace'
. 7 At the hit-enter prompt scrolling now no longer works. Need to use the keyboard to get around this. Pretend<CR>
was hit when the user tries to scroll? 7 Scrollbar width doesn't change when selecting other windows appearance. Also background color of Toolbar and rectangle below vert. scrollbar. 6 Drawing text transparently doesn't seem to work (when drawing part cursor). 8 CTRL key doesn't always work in combination with ALT key. It does work for function keys, not for alphabetic characters. Perhaps this is becauseCTRL-ALT
is used by Windows as AltGr? 8CTRL--
doesn't work for AZERTY, because it'sCTRL-[
for QWERTY. How do we know which keyboard is being used? 7 When scrolling, and a background color is dithered, the dither pattern doesn't always join correctly between the scrolled area and the new drawn area (Koloseike). 8 When gui_init_font() is called with "*", p_guifont is freed while it might still be used somewhere. This is too tricky, do the font selection first, then set the new font by name (requires putting all logfont parameters in the font name). Athena 和 Motif: 6 New Motif toolbar button from Marcin Dalecki: - When the mouse pointer is over an Agide button the red becomes black. Something with the way colors are specified in the .xpm file. - The pixmap is two pixels smaller than it should be. The gap is filled with grey instead of the current toolbar background color. 9 Can configure be changed to disable netbeans if the Xpm library is required and it's missing? 8 When using the resource "Vim*borderwidth 2" the widgets are positioned wrong. 9 XIM is disabled by default for SGI/IRIX. Fix XIM so that 'imdisable' can be off by default. 9 XIM doesn't work properly for Athena/Motif. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) For now, keep XIM active at all times when the input method has the preediting flag. 8 X11: A menu that contains an umlaut is truncated at that character. Happens when the locale is "C", which uses ASCII instead of IS0-8859-1. Is there a way to use latin1 by default? Gnome_init() seems to do this. 8 Perhaps use fontsets for everything? 6 When starting in English and switching the language to Japanese, setting the locale with ":lang", 'guifontset' and "hi menu font=", deleting all menus and setting them again, the menus don't use the new font. Most of the tooltips work though... 7 Motif: when using a file selection dialog, the specified file name is not always used (when specifying a filter or another directory). 8 When 'encoding' is different from the current locale (e.g., utf-8) the menu strings don't work. Requires conversion from 'encoding' to the current locale. Workaround: set 'langmenu'. Athena GUI: 9 The first event for any button in the menu or toolbar appears to get lost. The second click on a menu does work. 9 When dragging the scrollbar thumb very fast, focus is only obtained in the scrollbar itself. And the thumb is no longer updated when moving through files. 7 The file selector is not resizable. With a big font it is difficult to read long file names. (Schroeder) 4 Re-write the widget attachments and code so that we will not have to go through and calculate the absolute position of every widget every time the window is refreshed/changes size. This will help the "flashing-widgets" problem during a refresh. 5 When starting gvim with all the default colors and then typing ":hi Menu guibg=cyan", the menus change color but the background of the pullright pixmap doesn't change colors. If you type ":hi Menu guibg=cyan font=anyfont", then the pixmap changes colors as it should. Allocating a new pixmap and setting the resource doesn't change the pullright pixmap's colors. Why? Possible Athena bug? Motif GUI: - gui_mch_browsedir() is missing, browsedir() doesn't work nicely. 7 Use XmStringCreateLocalized() instead of XmStringCreateSimple()? David Harrison says it's OK (it exists in Motif 1.2). 8 Lesstif: When deleting a menu that's torn off, the torn off menu becomes very small instead of disappearing. When closing it, Vim crashes. (Phillipps) GUI: 9 On Solaris, creating the popup menu causes the right mouse button no longer to work for extending the selection. (Halevy) 9 When running an external program, it can't always be killed withCTRL-C
. e.g., on Solaris 5.5, when using "K" (Keech). Other 'guipty' problems on Solaris 2.6. (Marley) 9 On Solaris: Using a "-geometry" argument, bigger than the window where Vim is started from, causes empty lines below the cmdline. (raf) 8 X11 GUI: When menu is disabled by excluding 'm' from 'guioptions', ALT key should not be used to trigger a menu (like the Win32 version). 8 When setting 'langmenu', it should be effective immediately. Store both the English and the translated text in the menu structure. Re-generate the translation when 'langmenu' has changed. 8 Basic flaw in the GUI code: NextScreen is updated before calling gui_write(), but the GUI code relies on NextScreen to represent the state of where it is processing the output. Need better separation of Vim core and GUI code. 8 When fontset support is enabled, setting 'guifont' to a single font doesn't work. 8 Menu priority for sub-menus for: Amiga, BeOS. 8 When translating menus ignore the part after the Tab, the shortcut. So that the same menu item with a different shortcut (e.g., for the Mac) are still translated. 8 Add menu separators for Amiga. 8 Add way to specify the file filter for the browse dialog. At least for browse(). 8 Add dialog for search/replace to other GUIs? Tk has something for this, use that code? Or use console dialog. 8 When selecting a font with the font dialog and the font is invalid, the error message disappears too quick. 7 More features in the find/replace dialog: - regexp on/off - search in selection/buffer/all buffers/directory when all buffers/directory is used: - filter for file name when directory is used: - subdirectory on/off - top directory browser 8 gui_check_colors() is not called at the right moment. Do it much later, to avoid problems. 8 gui_update_cursor() is called for a cursor shape change, even when there are mappings to be processed. Only do something when going to wait for input. Or maybe every 100 ms? 8 X11: When the window size is reduced to fit on screen, there are blank lines below the text and bottom scrollbar. "gvim -geometry 80x78+0+0". When the "+0+0" is omitted it works. 8 When starting an external command, and 'guipty' set, BS and DEL are mixed up. Set erase character somehow? 8 A dead circumflex followed by a space should give the '^' character (Rommel). Look how xterm does this. Also: Bednar has some code for dead key handling. Also: Nedit 5.0.2 with USE_XMIM does it right. (Gaya) 8 The compose key doesn't work properly (Cepas). Both for Win32 and X11. 7 The cursor in an inactive window should be hollow. Currently it's not visible. 7 GUI on Solaris 2.5.1, using /usr/dt/..: When gvim starts, cursor is hollow, after window lowered/raised it's OK. (Godfrey) 7 When starting GUI with ":gui", and window is made smaller because it doesn't fit on the screen, there is an extra redraw. 8 When setting font with .Xdefaults, there is an extra empty line at the bottom, which disappears when using ":set guifont=<Tab>
". (Chadzelek) 8 When font shape changes, but not the size, doing ":set font=" does not redraw the screen with the new font. Also for Win32. When the size changes, on Solaris 2.5 there isn't a redraw for the remaining part of the window (Phillipps). - Flashes really badly in certain cases when running remotely from a Sun. 4 Re-write the code so that the highlighting isn't changed multiple times when doing a ":hi clear". The color changes happen three or more times currently. This is very obvious on a 66Mhz 486. MSDOS/DJGPP: 9 PressingCTRL-C
often crashes the console Vim runs in. (Ken Liao) When 'bioskey' isn't set it doesn't happen. Could be a problem with the BIOS emulation of the console. Version 5.6 already had this problem. 8 DJGPP: "cd c:" can take us to a directory that no longer exists. change_drive() doesn't check this. How to check for this error? 9 The 16 bit version runs out of memory very quickly. Should find unused code and reduce static data. Resetting 'writebackup' helps to be able to write a file. 9 Crash when running on Windows 98 in a console window and pressingCTRL-C
. Happens now and then. When debugging Vim in gdb this also happens. Since the console crashes, might be a bug in the DOS console. Resetting 'bioskey' avoids it, but thenCTRL-C
doesn't work. 9 DOS: MakeCTRL-Fx
and ALT-Fx work.CTRL-F1
= CE-5E,CTRL-F2
= CE-5F, ..,CTRL-F10
= CE-67 ALT-F1 = CE-68, ALT-F2 = CE-69, .., ALT-F10 = CE-71 Shifted cursor keys produce same codes as unshifted keys. Use bioskey(2) to get modifier mask for<S-C-M-Fx>
. Use K_SPECIAL/KS_MODIFIER codes to insert modifier mask in input stream? Make this work like in Win32 console. Mapping things like<M-A>
doesn't work, because it generates an extended key code. Use a translation table? 9 Can't read an opened swap file when the "share" command has not been used. At least ignore the swap files that Vim has opened itself. 8 Use DJGPP 2.03. 8 The Dos32 version (DJGPP) can't use long file names on Windows NT. Check if new package can be used (v2misc/ntlfn08[bs].zip). 8 setlocale() is bogus. 8 Vim busy waits for new characters or mouse clicks. Should put in some sort of sleep, to avoid eating 50% of the CPU time. Test on an unpatched Windows 95 system! 8 DJGPP: when shell is bash, make fails. (Donahoe) 7 HittingCTRL-P
twice quickly (e.g., in keyword completion) on a 8088 machine, starts printer echo! (John Mullin). 7 MSDOS 16 bit version can't work with COMSPEC that has an argument, e.g.: COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 (Bradley) Caused by BCC system() function (Borland "make" has the same problem). 8 Mouse: handle left&right button pressed as middle button pressed. Add modifier keys shift, ctrl and alt. 7 When too many files are open (depends on FILES), strange things happen. The Dos16 version runs out of memory, in the Dos32 version "!ls" causes a crash. Another symptom: .swp files are not deleted, existing files are "[New file]". 7 DJGPP version doesn't work with graphics display mode. Switch to a mode that is supported? 8 DJGPP: ":mode" doesn't work for many modes. Disable them. 8 DJGPP: When starting in Ex mode, shouldn't clear the screen. (Walter Briscoe) MSDOS、OS/2 和 Win32: 8 OS/2: Add backtick expansion. Undefine NO_EXPANDPATH and use gen_expand_wildcards(). 8 OS/2: Add clipboard support? See example clipbrd.exe from Alexander Wagner. 8 OS/2: Add Extended Attributes support and define HAVE_ACL. 8 OS/2: When editing a file name "foo.txt" that is actually called FOO.txt, writing uses "foo.txt". Should obtain the real file name. 8 Should $USERPROFILE be preferred above $HOMEDRIVE/$HOMEPATH? No, but it's a good fallback, thus use: $HOME $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH SHGetSpecialFolderPath(NULL, lpzsPath, CSIDL_APPDATA, FALSE); $USERPROFILE SHGetSpecialFolderPath(NULL, lpzsPath, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, FALSE); $ALLUSERSPROFILE $SYSTEMDRIVE\ C:\ 8 Win32 console:<M-Up>
and<M-Down>
don't work. (Geddes) We don't have special keys for these. Should use modifier + key. 8 Win32 console: caps-lock makes non-alpha keys work like with shift. Should work like in the GUI version. 8 Environment variables in DOS are not case sensitive. Make a define for STRCMP_ENV(), and use it when comparing environment var names. 8 Setting 'shellslash' has no immediate effect. Change all file names when it is set/reset? Or only use it when actually executing a shell command? 8 When editing a file on a Samba server, case might matter. ":e file" followed by ":e FILE" will edit "file" again, even though "FILE" might be another one. Set last used name in buflist_new()? Fix do_ecmd(), etc. 8 When a buffer is editing a file like "ftp://mach/file", which is not going to be used like a normal file name, don't change the slashes to backslashes. (Ronald Hoellwarth) Windows 95: 8 Editing a file by its short file name and writing it, makes the long file name disappear. Setting 'backupcopy' helps. Use FindFirstFile()->cAlternateFileName in fname_case() (George Reilly). 8 Doing wildcard expansion, will match the short filename, but result in the long filename (both DJGPP and Win32). Win32 控制台: 9 When editing a file by its short file name, it should be expanded into its long file name, to avoid problems like these: (Mccollister) 1) Create a file called ".bashrc" using some other editor. 2) Drag that file onto a shortcut or the actual executable. 3)Note
that the file name is something like BASHRC~1 4) Go to File->Save As menu item and type ".bashrc" as the file name. 5) Press "Yes" to indicate that I want to overwrite the file. 6)Note
that the message "File exists (add ! to override)" is displayed and the file is not saved. Use FindFirstFile() to expand a file name and directory in the path to its long name. 8 Also implement 'conskey' option for the Win32 console version? Look at how Xvi does console I/O under Windows NT. 7 Re-install the use of $TERM and support the use of different terminals, besides the console. 8 Use of<altgr>
modifier doesn't work? 5.3 was OK. (Garcia-Suarez/Guckes) 9 Mapping<C-S-Tab>
doesn't work correctly. How to see the difference with<C-S-i>
? 9 tmpnam() uses file in root of file system: "\asdf". That doesn't work on a Netware network drive. Use same function as for Win32 GUI? 8 In os_win32.h, HAVE_STRICMP and HAVE_STRNICMP are defined only if __GNUC__ is not defined. Shouldn't that be the other way around? 7 Use SetConsoleCP() and SetConsoleOutputCP() to implement 'termencoding'? Avoids that input and output work differently. Need to be restored when exiting. Amiga: 8 In mch_inchar() should use convert_input_safe() to handle incomplete byte sequences. 9 In mch_expandpath() a "*" is to be expanded, but "\*" isn't. Remove backslashes in result. 8 Executing a shell, only one option for 'shell' is separated. Should do all options, using white space separation. Macintosh: - GUI: gui_mch_browsedir() is missing. 7 Loading the Perl library only works on OS/X 10.2 or 10.3, never on both. Load the Perl library dynamically see Python sources file dynload_mac (Jack) dynamic linking: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2064.html 8 inputdialog() doesn't resize when giving more text lines. (David Fishburn, 2006 Sept 28) 8 Define vim_mkdir() for Macintosh. 8 Define mch_writable() for Macintosh. 9 When DiskLock is running, using a swap file causes a crash. Appears to be a problem with writing a file that starts with a dot. (Giacalone) 9 In mac_expandpath() check that handling of backslashes is done properly. "小" 问题: - Can't disable terminal flow control, to enable the use ofCTRL-S
andCTRL-Q
. Add an option for it? - When using e_secure in do_one_cmd() mention the command being executed, otherwise it's not clear where it comes from. - When the quickfix window is open and executing ":echo'hello'
" using the Command-line window, the text is immediately removed by the redrawing. (Michael Henry, 2008 Nov 1) Generic solution: When redrawing while there is a message on the cmdline, don't erase the display but draw over the existing text. Other solution, redraw after closing the cmdline window, before executing the command. 9 For Turkish vim_tolower() and vim_toupper() also need to use utf_ functions for characters below 0x80. (Sertacyildiz) 9 When the last edited file is a help file, using '0 in a new Vim doesn't edit the file as a help file. 'filetype' is OK, but 'iskeyword' isn't, file isn't readonly, etc. 8 When an ":edit" is inside a try command and the ATTENTION prompt is used, the :catch commands are always executed, also when the file is edited normally. Should reset did_emsg and undo side effects. Also make sure the ATTENTION message shows up. Servatius Brandt works on this. 7 Vimtutor leaves escape sequence in terminal. This is the xterm response to requesting the version number. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) 8 When redirecting and using ":silent" the current column for displaying and redirection can be different. Use a separate variable to hold the column for redirection. 7 The messages for "vim --help" and "vim --version" don't use 'termencoding'. - Could the hit-enter prompt be avoided when a message only overlaps the 'showcmd' area? Clear that area when the next cmd is typed. 8 When 'scrollbind' is set, a window won't scroll horizontally if the cursor line is too short. Add a word in 'scrollopt' to allow moving the cursor to longer line that is visible. A similar thing is done for the GUI when using the horizontal scrollbar. 7 VisVim can only open one file. Hard to solve: each opened file is passed with a separate invocation, would need to use timestamps to know the invocations belong together. 8 When giving a ":bwipeout" command a file-changed dialog may popup for this buffer, which is pointless. (Mike Williams) 8 On MS-Windows ":make" doesn't show output while it is working. Use the tee.exe from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ ? About 16 Kbyte in the UnxUtils.zip archive. Alternate one: http://www.pramodx.20m.com/tee_for_win32.htm, but Walter Briscoe says it's not as good. 8 When doing Insert mode completion a mapping cannot recursively call edit(), because the completion information is global. Put everything in an allocated structure? 8 Command line completion: buffers "foo.txt" and "../b/foo.txt", completing ":buf foo<Tab>
" doesn't find the second one. (George V. Reilly) 7 mb_off2cells() doesn't work correctly on the tail byte of a double-byte character. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) It should return 1 when used on a tail byte, like for utf-8. Store second byte of double-byte in ScreenLines2[] (like for DBCS_JPNU) and put a zero in the second byte (like for UTF-8). 8 'backupdir' and 'directory' should use $TMPDIR, $TMP and/or $TEMP when defined. 7 Inside a function with "perl <<EOF" a line with "$i++" is recognized as an ":insert" command, causing the following "endfunction" not to be found. Add skipping this perl construction inside function definitions. 7 When 'ttimeoutlen' is 10 and 'timeoutlen' is 1000, there is a keycode "<Esc>
a" and a mapping<Esc>
x", when typing "<Esc>
a" with half a second delay should not be interpreted as a keycode. (Hans Ginzel) 7 ":botright 1 new" twice causes all window heights to be changed. Make the bottom window only bigger as much as needed. 7 The Cygwin and MingW makefiles define "PC", but it's not used anywhere. Remove? (Dan Sharp) 9 User commands use the context of the script they were defined in. This causes a "s:var" argument to unexpectedly use a variable in the defining script, not the calling script. Add an argument to ":command": "-keepcontext". Do replace<SID>
, so that a function in the defining script can be called. 8 The Japanese message translations for MS-Windows are called ja.sjis.po, but they use encoding cp932. Rename the file and check that it still works. 8 A very long message in confirm() can't be quit. Make this possible withCTRL-C
. 8 "gf" always excludes trailing punctuation characters. file_name_in_line() is currently fixed to use ".,:;!". Add an option to make this configurable? 8 'hkmap' should probably be global-local. 9 When "$" is in 'cpoptions' and folding is active, a "C" command changes the folds and resets w_lines_valid. The display updating doesn't work then. (Pritesh Mistry) 8 Using ":s" in a function changes the previous replacement string. Save "old_sub" in save_search_patterns()? 8 Should allow multi-byte characters for the delimiter: ":s+a+b+" where "+" is a multi-byte character. 8 When appending to a file and 'patchmode' isn't empty, a backup file is always written, even when the original file already exists. 9 When getting focus while writing a large file, could warn for this file being changed outside of Vim. Avoid checking this while the file is being written. 7 The message in bt_dontwrite_msg() could be clearer. 8 The script ID that is stored with an option and displayed with ":verbose set" isn't reset when the option is set internally. For example when 'foldlevel' is set from 'foldlevelstart'. 8 Also store the line number with the script ID and use it for ":verbose", so that "set nocompatible" is found when it changes other option values. When an option is set indirectly mention the command? E.g. when ":diffsplit" sets 'foldmethod'. 8 In the fileformat dialog, "Cancel" isn't translated. Add a global variable for this. (Eduardo Fernandez) 9 When editing a file with 'readonly' set, there is no check for an existing swap file. Then using ":write" (without making any changes) doesn't give a warning either. Should check for an existing swap file without creating one. Unfinished patch by Ian Kelling, 2008 July 14. 7 When 'showbreak' is set, the amount of space a Tab occupies changes. Should work like 'showbreak' is inserted without changing the Tabs. 7 When 'mousefocus' is set and switching to another window with a typed command, the mouse pointer may be moved to a part of the window that's covered by another window and we lose focus. Only move in the y direction, not horizontally? 8 ":hardcopy": - Using the cterm_color[] table is wrong when t_colors is > 16. - Need to handle unprintable characters. - Win32: On a B&W printer syntax highlighting isn't visible. Perform dithering to make grey text? - Add a flag in 'printoptions' to add an empty page to make the total number even. "addempty"? (Mike Williams) - Respect 'linebreak'. Perhaps also 'showbreak'? - Should interpretCTRL-L
as a page break. - Grey line numbers are not always readable. Add field in 'printoptions'. Default to black when no syntax highlighting. - Be able to print a window in diff mode. - Be able to specify a colorscheme to use for printing. And a separate one for B&W printing (if that can be detected). 8 In Visual block mode with 'lbr' set, a change command doesn't insert the text in following lines where the linebreak changes. 9 dosinst.c: The DJGPP version can't uninstall the Uninstall registry key on Windows NT. How to install a .inf file on Windows NT and how to detect that Windows NT is being used? 8 When 'virtualedit' is "block,insert" and encoding is "utf-8", selecting a block of one double-wide character, then "d" deletes only half of it. 8 When 'virtualedit' is set, should "I" in blockwise visual mode also insert in lines that don't extend into the block? 8 With 'virtualedit' set, in Insert mode just after the end of line,CTRL-O
yh does not yank the last character of the line. (Pavel Papushev) Doing "hl" first appears to make it work. 8 With 'virtualedit' set it's possible to move into the blank area from 'linebreak'. 8 With 'virtualedit' set and 'selection' "exclusive", a Visual selection that ends in or after a tab, "d" doesn't delete (part of) the tab. (Helmut Stiegler) 9 When jumping to a tag, the search pattern is put in the history. When 'magic' is on, the pattern may not work. Translate the pattern depending on p_magic when putting it in the history? Alternative: Store value of 'magic' in history. (Margo) 9 optwin.vim: Restoring a mapping for<Space>
or<CR>
is not correct for ":noremap". Add "mapcmd({string}
,{mode}
)? Use code from ":mkexrc". 9 incsearch is incorrect for "/that/<Return>
/this/;//" (last search pattern isn't updated). 9 term_console is used before it is set (msdos, Amiga). 9 Get out-of-memory for ":g/^/,$s//@/" on 1000 lines, this is not handled correctly. Get many error messages while redrawing the screen, which cause another redraw, etc. 8 [<C-I>
doesn't work when '*' is in 'iskeyword'. find_pattern_in_path() must escape special characters in the pattern. 8 Vim can overwrite a read-only file with ":w!". ":w" can't overwrite an existing file, "w!" can, but perhaps not a read-only file? Then use ":w!!" for that. Or ask for permission to overwrite it (if file can be made writable) and restore file to readonly afterwards. Overwriting a file for which a swap file exists is similar issue. 7 When compiled with "xterm_clipboard", startup can be slower and might get error message for invalid $DISPLAY. Try connecting to the X server in the background (forked), so that Vim starts up quicker? Connect as soon as the clipboard is to be used (Visual select mode starts, paste from clipboard) 7 X11: Some people prefer to use CLIPBOARD instead of PRIMARY for the normal selection. Add an "xclipboard" argument to the 'clipboard' option? (Mark Waggoner) 8 For xterm need to open a connection to the X server to get the window title, which can be slow. Can also get the title with "<Esc>
[21t", no need to use X11 calls. This returns "<Esc>
]l{title}
<Esc>
\". 6 When the xterm reports the number of colors, a redraw occurs.  Wait for the xterm to report the number of colors before drawing the screen. With a timeout. 8 When the builtin xterm termcap contains codes that are not wanted, need a way to avoid using the builtin termcap. 8 Xterm sends ^[[H for<Home>
and ^[[F for<End>
in some mode. Also recognize these keys? Mostly useful for xterm simulators, like gnometerm. See http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.faq.html#xterm_pc_style. 8 For xterm also recognize keypad up/down/left/right and insert. 8 '[ and '] should be set to start/end of line when using a linewise operator (e.g., ":w"). 8CTRL-A
can't handle big "long" numbers, they become negative. Check for "-" character, if not present, use unsigned long. 8 Make it possible to disable the special meaning of "#" in the first column for ">>". 8 Add suspending withCTRL-Z
at the "more" prompt, and when executing a long script in do_cmdline(). 8 When using 'hidden', many swap files will be open. When Vim runs into the maximum number of open files, error messages will appear. Detect that this problem is present, and close any hidden files that don't have changes. 8 With 'viminfo' set such that the ".viminfo" file is written on a FAT filesystem, an illegal file name may be created: ".vim". 8 For each buffer that is opened, the viminfo file is opened and read to check for file marks. This can be slow. 7 In xterm, recognize both vt100 and vt220 cursor keys. Change add_termcode() to not remove an existing entry for a name, when it's needed. Need a generic solution to recognize different codes for the same key. 8 Core dump within signal function: gdb doesn't show stack backtrace! Option to skip catch_signals()? 9 Repeating a "cw" with "." doesn't work if the text was pasted from the clipboard. (Thomas Jones) It's because the menu/toolbar item exits Insert mode and uses "gP". How to fix this without breaking inserting a block of text? 8 In Replace mode pasting from the clipboard (using menu or toolbar) inserts all the text. Add ":rmenu"? 8 Pasting with the mouse in Replace mode inserts the text, instead of overwriting, when it is more than one line. Same for using<C-R>
. 9CTRL-E
andCTRL-Y
don't work in small window when 'so' is 4 and lines are wrapping (Acevedo/in.226). E.g., when usingCTRL-E
, window height 7, window might actually scroll down when last line of buffer is displayed. --> Remember if the previous command was "cursor follows screen" or "screen follow cursor" and use this in cursupdate(). 7 tilde_replace() can only handle "~/", should also do "~user/". Get the list of home directories (from /etc/passwd? Use getpwent()) and use some clever algorithm to match a path with that. Find common strings in the list? 8 When dragging status line with mouse, sometimes a jump when first clicking on the status line (caused by 'winheight'). Select window on button up, instead of on button down. 8 Dragging the status line doesn't scroll but redraw. 9 Evaluating 'statusline' in build_stl_str_hl() does not properly check for reaching the end of the available buffer. Patch to dynamically allocate the buffer for % items. (Eric Arnold, 2006 May 14) 8 When performing incremental search, should abort searching as soon as a character is typed. 8 When the value of $MAKE contains a path, configure can't handle this. It's an autoconf bug. Remove the path from $MAKE to work around it. 8 How to set VIMRC_FILE to \"something\" for configure? Why does this not work: CFLAGS='-DVIMRC_FILE=\"/mydir/myfile\"' ./configure 8 The temporary file is sometimes not writable. Check for this, and use an alternate name when it isn't. Or add the'temptemplate'
option: template for the temp file name ":set temptemplate=/usr/tmp/?????.tmp". Also: Win32 version uses Windows temp directory, which might not work for cygwin bash. 7 Get error "*, \+ or \( operand could be empty" for pattern "\(.\)\1\{3}
". Remember flags for backreferences. 7 When switching to Daylight Saving Time, Vim complains that a file has been changed since last read. Can we use a function that uses GMT? 7 When completing an environment variable after a '$', check for file names that contain a '$' after all have been found. 8 When "cm" termcap entry is missing, starting gvim shouldn't complain about it. (Lohner) Try out with "vt100" entry, cm replaced with cX. 7 When an include file starts with "../", the check for already visiting this file doesn't work. Need to simplify the file name. 7 The names and comments for the arguments of do_browse() are confusing. "dflt" isn't the default file name when "initdir" is not NULL and "initdir" is the default path to be used. 7 When 'scrolloff' is exactly half the window height, "j" causes a scroll of two lines at a time. "k" doesn't do this. (Cory T. Echols) 8 When write_viminfo() is used while there are many orphaned viminfo tempfiles writing the viminfo file fails. Give a clear error message so that the user knows he has to delete the files. 7 It's possible to redefine a script-local function with ":func<SNR>
123_Test()". (Krishna) Disallow this. 我无法重现这些 (如果你可以，请告知！): 9 NT 4.0 on NTFS file system: Editing ".bashrc" (drag and drop), file disappears. Editing ".xyz" is OK. Also, drag&drop only works for three files. (McCollister) (可能) 不会解决的问题: - GTK: when using the popup menu with spelling suggestions and releasing the right mouse button before the menu appears selecting an item with the right mouse button has no effect. GTK does not produce an event for this. - GTK 2: Cannot use the file selector. When using it many things become slow. This is caused by some code in GTK that writes ~/.recently-used.xbel every time an event is handled. It assumes the main loop is never quit, which is a wrong assumption. Also, it overwrites the file with different file permissions, which is a privacy issue. This needs to be fixed in GTK. A solution in Vim would be really complicated. (2008 Jul 31) This appears to be fixed in Vim 7.3. - xterm title: The following scenario may occur (esp. when running the Vim test script): Vim 1 sets the title to "file1", then restores the title to "xterm" with an ESC sequence when exiting. Vim 2 obtains the old title with an X library call, this may result in "file1", because the window manager hasn't processed the "xterm" title yet. Can apparently only be worked around with a delay. - In a terminal with 'mouse' set such that the mouse is active when entering a command line, after executing a shell command that scrolls up the display and then pressing ":": Selecting text with the mouse works like the display wasn't scrolled. Vim doesn't know how much the external command scrolled up the display. Use Shift to select text. - X windows: When $DISPLAY points to a X server where there is no access permission, trying to connect to the X server causes an error message. XtOpenDisplay() prints this directly, there is no way to avoid it. - X windows: Setting 'guifontset' to an illegal value sometimes crashes Vim. This is caused by a fault in a X library function, can't be solved in Vim. - Win32 tcl: has("tcl") hangs when the tcl84.dll is from cygwin. - Motif: When adding a menu item "Find this &Symbol", the "s" in "this" will be underlined, instead of in "Symbol". Motif doesn't let us specify which character gets the highlighting. - Moving the cursor removes color in color-xterm. This is a color-xterm problem! color-xterm ver. 6.1 beta 3 and later work properly. - In zsh, "gvim&" changes the terminal settings. This is a zsh problem. (Jennings) - Problem with HPterm under X: old contents of window is lost (Cosentino). - Amiga: When using quickfix with the Manx compiler we only get the first 25 errors. How do we get the rest? - Amiga: The ":cq" command does not always abort the Manx compiler. Why? - Linux: A file with protection r--rw-rw- is seen readonly for others. The access() function in GNU libc is probably wrong. - MSDOS: When using smartdrive with write-back buffering, writing to a readonly floppy will cause problems. How to test for a writable floppy first? - MSDOS: Both 16 and 32 bit versions: File name expansion doesn't work for names that start with a dot. These used to be illegal file names. - When doing aCTRL-Z
and typing a command for the shell, while Vim is busy (e.g. writing a file), the command for the shell is sometimes eaten by Vim, because the terminal mode is changed from RAW to CBREAK. - An old version of GNU tgoto can't handle the terminfo code for "AF". The "%p1" is interpreted as "%p" and "1", causing color not to be working. Fix: Change the "%p1" in the "AF" and "AB" terminfo entries to "%p". (Benzinger). - When running an external command from the GUI, typeahead is going to that program, not to Vim. It looks like the shell eats the characters, Vim can't get back what the external command didn't use. - Win32 GUI: Error code from external command not returned in shell_error. It appears that cmd.exe and command.com don't return an error code. - Win32 GUI: The Toolbar is a bit too high when the flat style is being used. We don't have control over the height of the Toolbar. - Win32: All files created on the day of switching from winter to summer time cause "changed since editing started" messages. It goes away when the file is written again the next day, or the timezone is adjusted. DJGPP version is OK. (Zaimi) Looks like a problem with the Win32 library. Rebooting doesn't help. Time stamps look OK in directory. (Penn) Is this on FAT (stores wall clock time) or NTFS (stores UTS)? - Win32, MS-Windows XP: $HOME uses the wrong drive when the user profiles are not on the boot disk. This is caused by a wrong value of $HOMEDRIVE. This is a bug in XP, see MSKB article 818134. - Win32, MS-Windows: expanding plugin/**/*.vim also picks up dir/ctags.vim,v. This is because the short file name is something like "ctags~1.vim" and that matches the pattern. - SunOS 5.5.1 with Motif: The file open dialog does not have a horizontal scroll bar for the "files" selection. This is a problem in the Motif libraries, get a patch from Sun. - Solaris 2.6 with GTK and Perl: gvim crashes when started. Problem with X input method called from GDK code. Without Perl it doesn't crash. - VMS: Vimdiff doesn't work with the VMS diff, because the output looks different. This makes test 47 fail. Install a Unix-compatible diff. - VMS v7.1 and older: Tests 21 and 32 fail. From VMS v7.1-2 and newer Vim does not have this behavior. (Zoltan Arpadffy) - Win32 GUI: mouse wheel always scrolls rightmost window. The events arrive in Vim as if the rightmost scrollbar was used. - GTK with Gnome: Produces an error message when starting up: Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library This is caused by the gnome library gnome_init() setting $LC_CTYPE to "en_US". Not all systems support this locale name, thus causing the error. Hopefully a newer version of GTK/Gnome fixes this problem. - GTK 2: With this mapping the hit-enter prompt is _sometimes_ below the screen, at other times there is a grey area below the command line: :nmap<F11>
:if &guioptions=~'m' \| set guioptions-=m \| else \| set guioptions+=m \| endif<cr>
- GTK: When pasting a selection from Vim to xclipboard gvim crashes with a ABRT signal. Probably an error in the file gdkselection.c, the assert always fails when XmbTextListToTextProperty() fails. (Tom Allard) - GTK 2: gives an assertion error for every non-builtin icon in the toolbar. This is a GTK 2.4.x bug, fixed in GTK 2.4.2. (Thomas de Grenier de Latour) - When using an xterm that supports the termresponse feature, and the 't_Co' termcap option was wrong when Vim started, it will be corrected when the termresponse is received. Since the number of colors changes, the highlighting needs to be initialized again. This may cause colors defined in the vimrc file to be lost. - On Windows NT 4.0 the number of files passed to Vim with drag&drop and "Edit with Vim" is limited. The maximum command line length is 255 chars. -------------------------- 扩展及改进 --------------------------- *extensions-improvements* 修正所有漏洞之后要新增的最有意思的功能: - Using ":exe edit fname" has escaping problems. Use ":edit ++(fname)". Thus use "++=" to give arguments as expressions, comma separated as if calling a function. With options: ":edit ++(['!', '++enc=abc'], ['+/pat'], fname)". Alternative: Make a function for Ex commands: cmd_edit(). - Add COLUMN NUMBERS to ":" commands ":line1,line2[col1,col2]cmd". Block can be selected withCTRL-V
. Allow '$' (end of line) for col2. - Add DEBUGGER INTERFACE. Implementation for gdb by Xavier de Gaye. Should work like an IDE. Try to keep it generic. Now found here: http://clewn.sf.net. And the idevim plugin/script. To be able to start the debugger from inside Vim: For GUI run a program with a netbeans connection; for console: start a program that splits the terminal, runs the debugger in one window and reconnect Vim I/O to the other window. Wishes for NetBeans commands: - make it possible to have'defineAnnoType'
also handle terminal colors. - send'balloonText'
events for the cursor position (using CursorHold ?) in terminal mode. - ECLIPSE plugin. Problem is: the interface is very complicated. Need to implement part in Java and then connect to Vim. Some hints from Alexandru Roman, 2004 Dec 15. Should then also work with Oracle Jdeveloper, see JSR 198 standard http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=198. Eclim does it: http://eclim.sourceforge.net/ (Eric Van Dewoestine) Plugin that uses a terminal emulator: http://vimplugin.sf.net And another one: http://www.satokar.com/viplugin/index.php - STICKY CURSOR: Add a way of scrolling that leaves the cursor where it is. Especially when using the scrollbar. Typing a cursor-movement command scrolls back to where the cursor is. - Scroll commands by screen line. gCTRL-E
and gCTRL-Y
? Requires the first line to be able to start halfway. - Running a shell command from the GUI still has limitations. Look into how the terminal emulator of the Vim shell project can help: http://vimshell.wana.at 8 Add a command to jump to a certain kind of tag. Allow the user to specify values for the optional fields. E.g., ":tag size type=m". Also allow specifying the file and command, so that the result of taglist() can be used. - X11: Make it possible to run Vim inside a window of another program. This can be done with XReparentWindow(). But how exactly? 文档: 8 List of Vim runtime directories. dotvim.txt from Charles Campbell, 2007 Feb 20. 8 The GUI help should explain the Find and Find/Replace dialogs. Add a link to it from ":promptrepl" and ":promptfind". 8 List of options should mention whether environment variables are expanded or not. 8 Extend usr_27.txt a bit. (Adam Seyfarth) 7 Add a section on debugging scripts in the user manual. 9 Make the Reference Manual more precise. For each command mention: - change to cursor position and curswant - if it can be undone (u/CTRL-R
) and redone (.) - how it works for folded lines - how it works with multi-byte characters 9 In change.txt, remark about Javadoc isn't right. Right alignment would work too. 8 Spread the windows commands over the other files. For example, ":stag" should be with ":tag". Cross-link with tags to avoid too much double text. 8 Add tags for all features, e.g. "gui_running". 7 MS-Windows: When a wrong command is typed with an ALT key, give a hint to look at the help for 'winaltkeys'. 7 Add a help.vim plugin that maps<Tab>
to jump to the next tag in || and<C-Tab>
(and<S-Tab>
) to the previous tag. Patch by Balazs Kezes, 2007 Dec 30. Remark from A. Politz. - Check text editor compendium for vi and Vim remarks. 帮助: - First try using the ":help" argument literally, before using it as a pattern. And then match it as part of a tag. - When a help item has multiple matches make it possible to use ":tn" to go to the other matches. - Support a way to view (and edit) .info files. - Default mapping for help files:<Tab>
to position cursor on next |:tag|. - Implement a "sticky" help window, some help text lines that are always displayed in a window with fixed height. (Guckes) Use "~/.vimhelp" file, user can edit it to insert his favorite commands, new account can contain a default contents. - Make 'winminheight' a local option, so that the user can set a minimal height for the help window (and other windows). - ":help :s^I" should expand to ":help :substitute". - Make the help key (<F1>
) context sensitive? - Learn mode: show short help while typing commands. 对用户更友好: 8 Windows install with install.exe: Use .exe instead of .bat files for links, so that command line arguments are passed on unmodified? (Walter Briscoe) 8 Windows install: Be able to associate Vim with a selection of file types? 8 Windows uninstall: Have uninstal.c delete the vimfiles directories that dosinst.c creates. List the contents of the directory (recursively) if the user asks for it. Requires an implementation of "rm -rf". 8 Remember the name of the vimrc file that was used (~/.vimrc, $VIM/_vimrc, $HOME/_vimrc, etc.) and add "edit vimrc" to the File menu. - Add a way to save local settings and mappings into a new plugin file. ":mkplugin<file>
"? 8 Add ":plugininstall" command. Can be used to install a plugin file that includes documentation. Let the user select a directory from 'runtimepath'. " Vim plugin <main plugin code> " >>> plugin help start <<< <plugin docs> - Add mappings local to a window: ":map<window>
..."? 9 Add buffer-local menu. Should offer a choice between removing the menu or disabling it. Be careful that tear-offs don't disappear (keep one empty item?). Alternative: use BufEnter and BufLeave autocommands. 8 make a vimtutor script for Amiga and other systems. 7 Add the arguments for configure to the ":version" output? 7 When Vim detects a file is being edited elsewhere and it's a gvim session of the same user it should offer a "Raise" button, so that the other gvim window can be displayed. (Eduard) 8 Support saving and restoring session for X windows? It should work to do ":mksession" and use "-S fname" for the restart command. The gui_x11_wm_protocol_handler() already takes care of the rest. global_event_filter() for GTK. 标签页: 9 GUI implementation for the tab pages line for other systems. 7 GUI: Control over the appearance of the text in the labels (bold, color, font, etc.) 8 Make GUI menu in tab pages line configurable. Like the popup menu. 8 balloons for the tab page labels that are shortened to show the full path. 7 :tabdup duplicate the tab with all its windows. 7 Option to put tab line at the left or right? Need an option to specify its width. It's like a separate window with ":tabs" output. 7 Add local variables for each tab page? 8 Add local options for each tab page? E.g., 'diffopt' could differ between tab pages. 7 Add local highlighting for each tab page? 7 Add local directory for tab pages? How would this interfere with window-local directories? 拼写检查: - have some way not to give spelling errors for a range of characters. E.g. for Chinese and other languages with specific characters for which we don't have a spell file. Useful when there is also text in other languages in the file. - Support more regions? Caolan McNamara argues it's needed for es_XX. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219777 - Unicode defines another quote character: 0x2019. Use it as an equivalent of a single quote, thus use it as a word character like a quote and match with words, replacing the curly quote with a single quote. - Could filter é things for HTML before doing spell checking. Similarly for TeX. - The Hungarian spell file uses four extra characters in the FOL/UPP/LOW items than other spell files with the ISO-8859-2 encoding, that causes problem when changing 'spelllang'. There is no obvious way to fix this. - Considering Hunspell 1.1.4: What does MAXNGRAMSUGS do? Is COMPLEXPREFIXES necessary when we have flags for affixes? - Support spelling words in CamelCase as if they were two separate words. Requires some option to enable it. (Timothy Knox) - There is no Finnish spell checking file. For openoffice Voikko is now used, which is based on Malaga: http://home.arcor.de/bjoern-beutel/malaga/ (Teemu Likonen) 8 ":mkspell" still takes much too long in Hungarian dictionary from hunspell. Only solution appears to be to postpone secondary suffixes. 8 Handle postponed prefix with COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG or COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG. WFP_COMPPERMIT and WFP_COMPFORBID 8 implement use of<compoptions>
in .spl file: implement CHECKCOMPOUNDREP: when a compound word seems to be OK apply REP items and check if the result is a valid word. implement CHECKCOMPOUNDDUP implement CHECKCOMPOUNDTRIPLE Add CHECKCOMPOUNDCASE: when compounding make leading capital lower case. How is it supposed to work? - Add a command the repeats ]s and z=, showing the misspelled word in its context. Thus to spell-check a whole file. - suggestion for "KG" to "kg" when it's keepcase. - For flags on affixes: Use a "AFFCOMPSET" flag; means the compound flags of the word are not used. - Support breakpoint character ? 0xb7 and ignore it? Makes it possible to use same wordlist for hyphenation. - Compound word is accepted if nr of words is <= COMPOUNDWORDMAX OR nr of syllables <= COMPOUNDSYLMAX. Specify using AND in the affix file? - NEEDCOMPOUND also used for affix? Or is this called ONLYINCOMPOUND now? Or is ONLYINCOMPOUND only for inside a compound, not at start or end? - Do we need a flag for the rule that when compounding is done the following word doesn't have a capital after a word character, even for Onecap words? - New hunspell home page: http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/ - Version 1.1.0 is out now, look into that. - Lots of code depends on LANG, that isn't right. Enable each mechanism in the affix file separately. - Example with compounding dash is bad, gets in the way of setting COMPOUNDMIN and COMPOUNDWORDMAX to a reasonable value. - PSEUDOROOT == NEEDAFFIX - COMPOUNDROOT -> COMPOUNDED? For a word that already is a compound word Or use COMPOUNDED2, COMPOUNDED3, etc. - CIRCUMFIX: when a word uses a prefix marked with the CIRCUMFIX flag, then the word must also have a suffix marked with the CIRCUMFIX flag. It's a bit primitive, since only one flag is used, which doesn't allow matching specific prefixes with suffixes. Alternative: PSFX{flag}
{pchop}
{padd}
{pcond}
{schop}
{sadd}
[/flags]{scond}
We might not need this at all, you can use the NEEDAFFIX flag and the affix which is required. - When a suffix has more than one syllable, it may count as a word for COMPOUNDWORDMAX. - Add flags to count extra syllables in a word. SYLLABLEADD1 SYLLABLEADD2, etc.? Or make it possible to specify the syllable count of a word directly, e.g., after another slash: /abc/3 - MORPHO item in affix file: ignore TAB and morphological field after word/flags and affix. - Implement multiple flags for compound words and CMP item? Await comments from other spell checking authors. - Also see tklspell: http://tkltrans.sourceforge.net/ 8 Charles Campbell asks for method to add "contained" groups to existing syntax items (to add @Spell). Add ":syntax contains{pattern}
